36. Some celebrities star in a new video to ______.
這道題的定位點(diǎn)在第一段最后一句。
They are part of a bunch of celebrities starring in a new video for World Environment Day—encouraging you, the consumer, to swap out your single-use plastic staples to combat the plastics crisis. [33 words]
這句話(huà)的主人公為they，代指前面的幾位名人，也呼應了題干中的Some celebrities，屬性詞為starring in a new video，呼應了題干里的star in a new video，這樣答案肯定在最后破折號后面。后面的encourage就是呼應選項A里的urge, 這跟2013年英語(yǔ)一第一篇的第二題的替換詞一模一樣?？吹竭@里很多同學(xué)反映后面的swap out不認識，包括還有staple, 其實(shí)沒(méi)有關(guān)系，選項里的use of plastics在這句定位句中有完整的呼應，前面的動(dòng)詞就是對應cut，就是swap out。
另外37. The author is concerned that“moral licensing”may ______
這道題定位點(diǎn)在第二段第三句。
They could even be harmful, satisfying a need to have “done our bit” without ever progressing onto bigger, bolder, more effective actions — a kind of “moral licensing” that eases our concerns and stops us doing more and asking more of those in charge. [43 words]
這句話(huà)的主人公為they，也是代指前面的內容，但是這部分信息其實(shí)和37的題干并無(wú)直接關(guān)系，定位點(diǎn)其實(shí)在后面破折號，尤其是that后面的內容。而這里的信息中，很關(guān)鍵的屬性信息就是eases，stops doing和asking。和選項匹配來(lái)說(shuō)，A和C的prevent和weaken都吻合，但是C里面的accomplishment就沒(méi)有提及了。而A后半段的further efforts其實(shí)就是定位點(diǎn)的doing more 和asking more。
另外38.By pointing out our identity as “citizens”, the author indicates that _____
While the conversation around our environment and our responsibility toward it remains centered on shopping bags and straws, we’re ignoring the balance of power that implies that as“consumers” we must shop sustainably, rather than as“citizens”hold our governments and industries to account to push for real systematic change. [54 words]
這句話(huà)非常長(cháng)，開(kāi)頭是個(gè)while的讓步從句，重點(diǎn)在主句部分，也就是從we’re 開(kāi)始，而在最后部分又出現了題干定位詞“citizens”，這樣整個(gè)句子的核心鎖定在rather than后面。在這部分剩余信息中，中心詞就是governments and industries，屬性詞就是hold，這和選項C 里的government和press匹配，所以這道題最后選C。
