【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了由于人类活动导致地球变暖，在过去几年中世界各地出现了更频繁、更猛烈的天气事件，并阐述了变暖环境对热浪、降雨、风暴等天气现象的影响，以及关于飓风数量变化的不确定性等相关内容。
36．考查时态和语态。句意：在过去几年里，由于人类活动地球变暖，世界各地有更多频繁且更猛烈的天气事件被报道。根据时间状语 “in the past few years” 可知，句子要用现在完成时。“weather events” 和 “report” 之间是被动关系，即天气事件被报道，所以要用现在完成时的被动语态 “have/has been + 过去分词” ，“weather events” 是复数，故填have been reported。
37．考查形容词。句意：一个正在变暖的环境可以加剧热浪，增加出现极热白天和夜晚的可能性。这里需要一个形容词修饰 “environment” ，“warm” 的现在分词形式 “warming” 可作形容词，表示 “正在变暖的” ，故填warming。
38．考查介词。句意：一个正在变暖的环境可以通过增加出现极热白天和夜晚的可能性来加剧热浪。“by”在这里表示方式，意为 “通过” ，即通过某种方式加剧热浪，by doing sth. (通过做某事)，故填by。
39．考查固定搭配。句意：而且它（变暖环境）也与更大量的降雨和暴风雪有关。“be connected with” 是固定搭配，意为 “与…… 有关” ，故填connected。
40．考查形式宾语。句意：地球变暖的海洋使得最强风暴可能会更猛烈，产生更多降雨，影响更广泛的区域，并且可能持续更长时间。这里“make it + 形容词 + that 从句” ，“it” 是形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的“that从句” ，故填it。
41．考查形容词。句意：地球变暖的海洋使得最强风暴可能会更猛烈，产生更多降雨，影响更广泛的区域，并且可能持续更长时间。根据前文 “fiercer”“more rainfall” 等比较级形式，这里也应用比较级，表示 “更广泛的区域” ，形容词“wide” 的比较级是 “wider” ，作定语修饰名词areas，故填wider。
42．考查非限制性定语从句。句意：此外，海平面上升使得在风暴期间更多海水被推向海岸，这与风暴产生的更多降雨一起，可能会导致灾难性的风暴和洪水。这里是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子 “sea level rise makes more seawater pushed on to the coasts during storms” ，关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语，用关系代词which，故填which。
43．考查形容词。句意：此外，海平面上升使得在风暴期间更多海水被推向海岸，这与风暴产生的更多降雨一起，可能会导致灾难性的风暴和洪水。这里需要一个形容词作定语修饰名词“storms” ，“disaster” 的形容词形式 “disastrous” 表示 “灾难性的” ，故填disastrous。
44．考查不定式。句意：一些适合引发飓风的强雷暴的条件预计会随着气候变暖而增加，但影响飓风形成的其他条件仍存在不确定性。“be expected to do sth.” 是固定搭配，意为 “被预计做某事” ，故填to increase。
45．考查名词复数。句意：这些是持续研究的课题。根据“are”可知，用复数名词subjects作主语，故填subjects。

Holding Kaylani tightly, he then jumped out of the second-story window. As he landed on the ground, he turned to his side and broke Kaylani’s fall with his own body.

________________________________________________________________________________________________
A delivery man saved five children from a house on fire. ____
While out on his evening pizza delivery shift, Nicholas Bostic drove past a two-story home on fire. Shocked at
the frightening sight, he stopped his car and rushed over to assess (评估) the situation and to determine if anyone might
be trapped inside. Nicholas reached for his phone to dial 911, but he realized at once that he left it at home. He bravely
entered the house without any hesitation.
Nicolas went into the house through the back door. He rushed upstairs, shouting “fire!” throughout the home.
The oldest child, Seionna, heard his screams and woke up. She woke her younger sister and a friend who had stayed
the night. She then ran to grab her 1-year-old baby sister.
Nicholas called out to the terrified girls and instructed them to follow him. The sisters — Seionna, 18; Shaylee,
13; and Kaleia, 1 — and their family friend, Livian, 13, followed his directions to escape to the safety of the street.
Once outside in the fresh air, the girls shook in fear and coughed from the smoke. However, they soon realized
that their 6-year-old sister, Kaylani, had not escaped with them. Nicholas rushed back again into the house full of fire.
He rushed up the stairs and searched for the missing girl under beds and in the closets of each room. He wouldn’t
give up his search despite the thickening smoke stopping his sight and his ability to breathe.
“I don’t know how to explain it, but it was like I accepted I was going to probably die, right there, that night,”
Nicholas explained. Nicholas finally heard a faint cry coming from downstairs. He covered his mouth and nose with
his shirt as he followed the voice. He crawled (爬行) his way through the smoke to reach the child. Once he found
her, he caught her up and attempted to make his way to the back door. 注意:
