【題目】 Utah Lake is, in a word, disgusting. The State of Utah has worked with many partners and spent millions of dollars in an attempt to restore Utah Lake. It has indeed produced some active effects. However, due to the wastewater getting into it，this body of water is rich in nutrient and home to water bloom. Overfishing and the introduction of invasive species have only made the problem worse. In the summer of 2016，500 people in Utah complained about their headaches, skin rashes and discomfort after swimming in the lake.

The Utah Lake Restoration Project is headed by Parker. He imagines a beautiful lake dotted with man-made islands where a community could be built. Parker frequently goes to Capitol Hill to push for the proposal of the comprehensive lake restoration. Parker follows his rules "big ideas are worth approaching"，as the project calls for lake digging, the creation of islands，the removal of invasive species to restore the habitats of native plants，fish and so on.

Speaking of the Utah Lake Restoration Project，Ben Holcomb said, "It is not quite in line with reality.” He added，"Despite impressive computer models and the current project report， the Utah Lake Restoration Project lacks the actual field research to show that this project will have a positive effect on the lake's ecosystem.”

When asked how the public would help beautify Utah Lake, the lake's official workers suggested picking up garbage. However, it has a greatly limited effect on the overall health of the lake. Parker's plan may seem like the state's best chance to restore Utah Lake, but in reality the Utah Lake Restoration Project lacks the facts necessary for this sort of proposal. The State of Utah should propose some suggestions for the revision of the plan and offer the Utah Lake Restoration Project the access necessary to conduct research which could be compared with their theoretical findings. Only then can the State of Utah make an educated decision on behalf of people and resources.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】A

【4】C

【解析】

本文是說明文。為了改善猶他湖的污染，Parker提出了一個方案——猶他湖修復(fù)工程。其他人對此有不同看法，目前該項目還需要得到猶他州的支持，進(jìn)行一些實地研究和調(diào)整。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句The State of Utah has worked with many partners and spent millions of dollars in an attempt to restore Utah Lake.（猶他州與許多合作伙伴合作，花費數(shù)百萬美元試圖恢復(fù)猶他州湖。）可知猶他州試圖恢復(fù)猶他州湖。故選A項。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句Parker follows his rules "big ideas are worth approaching"，as the project calls for lake digging, the creation of islands，the removal of invasive species to restore the habitats of native plants，fish and so on.（Parker遵循他的規(guī)則，“偉大的想法是值得接近的”，因為該項目要求挖掘湖泊，創(chuàng)建島嶼，清除入侵物種，以恢復(fù)本土植物、魚類的棲息地，等等。）可知，這個工程是想要為猶他湖的本地生物打造一個安全的家，故選D項。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句Speaking of the Utah Lake Restoration Project，Ben Holcomb said, "It is not quite in line with reality.”可知，Ben Holcomh認(rèn)為這個工程與現(xiàn)實不太相符，故可推知他對這個工程持懷疑的態(tài)度。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中Parker's plan may seem like the state's best chance to restore Utah Lake, but in reality the Utah Lake Restoration Project lacks the facts necessary for this sort of proposal. The State of Utah should propose some suggestions for the revision of the plan and offer the Utah Lake Restoration Project the access necessary to conduct research which could be compared with their theoretical findings.（帕克的計劃似乎是猶他州恢復(fù)猶他湖的最佳機會，但實際上猶他湖恢復(fù)項目缺乏這類提議所必需的事實。猶他州應(yīng)該對該計劃的修訂提出一些建議，并為猶他州湖恢復(fù)項目提供進(jìn)行研究的必要途徑，以便與他們的理論研究結(jié)果進(jìn)行比較。）可知作者想告訴我們Parker的計劃需要一些實地研究和調(diào)整。故選C。

On May 28th, we observe World Hunger Day. It is an effort to focus attention on 【1】fact that despite there being enough food globally, some 21,000 people die every day from hunger.

People do not go hungry because the world does not produce enough food for everyone. According to the world Hunger Education Service, recently the percentage of people 【2】cannot get enough food chronically（長期地）has reduced from 34% to 15%. The main problem is that many people in the world still do not have resources【3】 (purchase) or grow enough food.

Indeed, hunger【4】 (be) a result of poverty, and also one of its causes. Hunger exists because many countries lack social safety nets; because in many countries women, although they do most of the farming, do not have as much access 【5】 men to training or land.

Over the past decade, a global push to reduce hunger and extreme poverty【6】 (mark) some significant successes, partly thanks【7】 the efforts of many international【8】(organization).
