解析：

选D　细节理解题。

从No.2SiestaBeach的最后一句“It'salsoagreatspotforkidstocollectseashellsandsanddollars.”可知该沙滩是个让孩子们收集贝壳和沙海胆的好地方，它会非常吸引孩子游玩，使他们获得快乐。

2．HowmuchmaytheypayatleastifMrandMrsSmithfromChicagovisitabeach?

A．＄364.　　　　　　B．＄435.

C．＄579.D．＄657.

由于夫妇是来自Chicago，所以是ClearwaterBeach，Airfare应当是71×2＝142，另外酒店费用是293一晚，所以最少应该是293＋142＝435。

语篇解读：

研究人员发现竞争有利于降低价格，尤其是在一些人口比较少，只有一家垄断的药店的地方，儿童用药价格就比较高，所以建议政府放宽医药行业准入门槛，多增加一些药店，这样可以减轻年轻的父母的负担。

3．What'sthepurposeofthestudy?

A．Toreviewthefunctionofthespeciallawforpharmacies.

B．Tomakecleartherelationbetweencompetitionandprices.

C．TocollecttheinformationonpharmacybusinessinItaly.

D．TogatherthedataonhygieneproductsforbabiesinItaly.

解析：

选B　细节理解题。

根据文章第一段第一句和第二句“Thatcompetitionkeepspricesdowniswellknown.Butitishardtomeasurebyjusthowmuch,...”可知，大家都知道竞争会导致价格下降，但是很难具体测量竞争到底影响了多少价格，所以研究的目的是为了搞清楚竞争和价格之间的关系。

4．Theunderlinedphrase“tipthescales”inParagraph3means“________”．

A．pushthemoveB．keepthelevel

C．controltheriseD．breakthebalance

解析：

选A　词义猜测题。

根据本文的主题以及常识可以知道婴儿多了，家长（要购买）会推动价格上涨。

pushthemove“推动价格上涨”。

5．Thegovernment'snewmeasureswillgreatlybenefit________.

A．pharmacyownersB．localmerchants

C．newparentsD．adultusers

解析：

选C　推理判断题。

根据最后一段的内容可知，怀抱婴儿的家长不方便到远的地方去买儿童药品，所以在药店比较少的地方容易被宰。

放宽一些禁止医药行业竞争的政策，同一个地方会有更多的药店，有利于降低药价，所以父母们会受益。

语篇解读：

本文主要介绍了森林超强的吸附二氧化碳的能力，指出跟气候变化作斗争最有力量的武器就是森林。

6．Accordingtothepassage,climatechange________.

A．willsurelyachieveatascalethatismoreseriousthaneverbefore

B．willonlyaffectpeoplelivinginthepoorestruralregions

C．islikelytoleadtomorefrequentextremeweatherevents

D．isentirelydeterminedbyfossilfuelconsumption

解析：

选C　细节理解题。

根据第一段最后一句“Indeed,wehavealreadyseentheclearasymmetry（不对称）ofsufferingresultingfromextremeweatherevents,suchashurricanes,floods,droughts,wildfiresandmore.”可知我们已经看到了由飓风、洪水、干旱、野火等极端天气事件造成的痛苦很显然是不对称的，也就是越来越多了。

7．What'sthefindingofthenewresearch?

A．Reducingfossilfuelsisthemostpowerfulandcostefficienttechnology.

B．Forestsarevitaltoreducingclimatechangeduetotheirstoragepower.

C．Mostofourclimatetargetscanbeaccomplishedwiththehelpofnaturalclimatesolutions.

D．Naturalclimatesolutionshaveprovedlessefficientthanconventionalsolutions.

解析：

选B　推理判断题。

根据第三段第二句“Recentscientificresearchconfirmsthatforestsandother‘naturalclimatesolutions’areabsolutelyessentialinreducingclimatechange.”，可知森林和其他“自然气候解决方案”对于减少气候变化是绝对必要的；再根据第四段第一句“Forests'powertostorecarbondioxidethroughthesimpleprocessoftreegrowthisstaggering”可知森林之所以能够减少气候的变化，是因为其极强的吸附储存二氧化碳的能力。

8．Theunderlinedword“staggering”inParagraph4means________.

A．astonishingB．speeding

C．embarrassingD．shrinking

解析：

选A　词义猜测题。

根据画线单词后面的解释“onetreecanevenstoreanaverageofabout48poundsofcarbondioxideinoneyear...thesameamountofthecarbondioxideemissionofentirecountriessuchasPeruandColombia”可知树木吸收二氧化碳的能力显然是非常惊人的。
