“We are counting the days rather than the decades…We don’t have the time that we thought we had previously，” Kiribati President Anote Tong said.
Pelenise Alofa returned to Kiribati six years ago. The changes she saw led to her becoming one of the islands principal climate change campaigners. “Things began to change when I came here. I realized the king tides were big, and I told them ‘have you heard of climate change, have you heard of global warming, this is part of it, you’re in it，’” Ms Alofa told SBS. 专题 六 │ 专题预测
Linda Uan and her New Zealand born husband John have been documenting the changing climate in Kiribati for nearly 20 years. They didn’t have to travel far to film the effects of a storm three years ago when the first time it washed through their home. “There’s been a lot of changes，” Linda said, “When we were little there was a definite dry season and a definite wet season, now you can’t feel the difference anymore.” 专题 六 │ 专题预测
Kiribati is not just facing one knockout punch but a whole round of killer blows. Because of its sensibility to the El Nino and La Nina weather patterns, climate scientists say droughts and floods will be more severe than in the past. Warmer seas could affect the migration patterns of fish, taking away vast taxes it gains from selling fishing licenses to foreign trawlers, while increased storms are expected to destroy crops and make the limited supply of water in the shallow water pools undrinkable. 专题 六 │ 专题预测
It’s a claim the country will take to Copenhagen as it seeks to get the world’s big emitters (排放者) to face up to the consequences of their actions. “It’s a whole world issue，” President Tong said. “It’s a moral issue…it’s almost criminal.” 专题 六 │ 专题预测

【文章大意】 基里巴斯是太平洋上的一个岛国，由于地势极低，这个国家对气候变化最敏感，全球性气候变暖直接威胁到这个国家。人们将在哥本哈根国际减排会议上呼吁那些排放大国面对他们的行为带来的后果。
1．D 细节理解题。从文章开头可知A项错，这是基里巴斯包括海洋在内的面积；它的首都最宽的地方为450米，B项错误；从文章的叙述判断C项不对，因为该国的人们对环境变化带来的生存危机很担忧。第一段说该国的人口只有十万，其中大半住在首都，由此判断D项正确。 专题 六 │ 专题预测
2．A 推理判断题。第二段中该国总统说，我们是以“天”而不是以“十年”为计算单位(而生活)，我们没有原先以为的那么长的时间。从语境看，这些话反映出总统的忧患意识。
3．C 推理判断题。在第三段Alofa对周围的人说，“……你听说过全球性气候变暖吗？这就是其中一部分，你就身居其中。”显然其含义是C，谁也逃不掉气候变化带来的影响。

In Yemen, you always see one type of vehicle on the road: the water truck. They travel mountain roads and cross deserts to bring Yemenis a good more valuable than oil. It is one that only the rich can afford, with the supply regularly being cut off. Others must rely on scarce rain or charity to fight thirst. 专题 六 │ 专题预测
Experts say Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. The capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025, says a report by the World Bank.
Hannan, an 18yearold from Lahej, said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply. “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week but then the following week there will be water only for a day or two，” she said. 专题 六 │ 专题预测
She and her husband, a factory worker, pay 3,000 riyals (99 yuan) for a week’s supply of water from a touring water truck when the taps run dry. With an income of only 20,000 riyals (660 yuan) a month, this means the family often spend half their money on water.
“There are a lot of people who can’t afford it and they have to rely on their neighbors to help，” she said. 专题 六 │ 专题预测
The average person in Yemen survives on onefifth of what the World Health Organization considers to be enough water.
In Taiz, in the south, tap water is available only once every 45 days. In the mountainous Malhan district in the north, women and children climb a 1,500m mountain to collect water from a spring, often in the small hours to avoid long queues. 专题 六 │ 专题预测
Yemen is located in Southwest Asia, bordering the Arabian and Red seas. Yemeni people have lived on scarce water supplies for thousands of years but that problem has been made serious by conflict in the area, the fastgrowing population and the use of water to grow a drug called qat. With one of the world’s highest rates of population growth — 3.46 percent, Yemen is the poorest Arab country. 专题 六 │ 专题预测
The government is considering desalinating (淡化) seawater, but this would be expensive and it may now be too late. The only other solution is to cut down on farming, but that means importing even more food. 专题 六 │ 专题预测

A．analyze the reasons why Yemen lacks water
B．suggest some solutions for the water issue in Yemen

【文章大意】 由于西南亚的也门是一个水资源特别匮乏的国家，在这里，水资源的匮乏已经延续了几千年，而地区冲突、人口的快速增长等问题使这个地区的饮水问题特别突出。也门也是最贫穷的阿拉伯国家。
1．C 推理判断题。从全文内容可知，本文的中心话题是介绍也门这个国家的饮水困难。 专题 六 │ 专题预测
2．B 细节理解题。第一段说只有富人才能买得起水，第三段Hannan说，只有富人能为水供应减少做好准备，即，假如减少了饮用水的供应，富人能花钱买水用，而穷人则只能依靠降雨或慈善机构的施舍。
3．B 细节理解题。从倒数第二段可知，也门的饮用水短缺是长期存在的问题，而这个国家人口的快速增长使这个问题更突出。 专题 六 │ 专题预测
4．D 主旨大意题。从所给四个选项看，A项“不要以为水是理所当然的”与本文的核心话题无关，B“水车，也门街头最常见的风景”只是也门缺水的结果，只是文章内容的一部分，C“世界上第一个用完水的国家”不全面，而D项“也门没有水”最能形象地表达全文的内容。 专题七 社会生活类

1．D 主旨大意题。从文中所举的电视节目Seven Up及斯皮尔伯格的小时候去影院后来终成导演的例子来看，文章全是围绕着“童年经历对未来生活有很大影响”来展开的，故可知本文的主旨是D项。
2．C 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的语义“孩子们会受到父母做事的方式、所看到的电视节目及老师所讲的话的影响吗？”可知选C。 专题 五 │ 专题预测
3．A 推理判断题。第二段第一句讲到所有事例中最有趣的就是孩子们的希望和梦想在未来得到了实现，可见童年的希望和未来的工作是有关联的，故本题选A。

(二)
Why is it that students in less popular majors sometimes find it easier to get a job? Simple. It’s because they are out there in the “blue ocean”， a relatively untouched area.
专题 五 │ 专题预测
The term was created by Chan Kim and Renee Manborgne, two professors who use it to describe less crowded parts of business and industry with little or no competition. It contrasts with the “red ocean”， which is already saturated,_ competitive, and crowded with people or companies providing the same services or producing the same goods.
专题 五 │ 专题预测
According to these two authors，the primary goal of business is to enter the “blue ocean” or create a new market. This is done by creating what no one else has. Business must come up with creative things that are useful and affordable and reduce unnecessary costs. So customers get what they want for less and sellers get a higher return on their investment. When these two are combined, it’s a catalyst(催化剂)for the blue ocean market.

McDonald’s is a popular example. Traditional restaurants have waiters, table settings, menus，and a certain type of service. McDonald’s, however, was different. It did away entirely with waiters and table service，and kept the menu limited.
But in its number of locations，speed，overall quality and child friendliness. McDonald’s did far better than traditional restaurants. In this sense，one can say that McDonald’s was a totally different concept in eating out. It met the blue ocean demand.
