【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了爱尔兰Achill岛消失的海滩时隔三十多年再次出现的事件。

4．WhathasbroughtAchillIslandworldwideattentionrecently?

A．Anunusualstorm.

B．Thedecreaseinthenumberofresidents.

C．Thereturnofitsbeach.

D．Thebuildingofanewtouristdestination.

根据第一段中的“However，sinceAprilin2019，thesmallislandofjust2，700residents（居民）hasgainedworldwidefamethankstothemagicalreturnofabeachthatwaswashedawayoverthreedecadesago”可知，消失了三十多年的海滩的回归使得Achill岛引起了全世界的关注。

5．WhathappenedtoDooaghinthepastthreedecades?

A．Tourismwentdowngradually.

B．Restaurantsdevelopedslowly.

C．Stormsattackedfrequently.

D．Rockpoolsdisappearedcompletely.

根据第二段中的“Thearea'

stourismindustryslowlydeclined，andthehandfulofbeachsidehotels，pubsandrestaurantsgraduallyclosedaswell”可知，随着海滩的消失，在过去三十多年里Dooagh地区的旅游业逐渐衰落。

【干扰项分析】　根据第二段中的“restaurantsgraduallyclosed”可知，B项错误；

文章提到三十多年前大西洋的暴风雨冲走了海滩，并没有提到暴风雨经常侵袭Dooagh地区，故C项错误；

根据第二段中的“onlyrocksandrockpoolsleft”可知，D项错误。

6．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“barren”inParagraph3probablymean?

A．Noisy.B．Soft.

C．Bare.D．Golden.

词义猜测题。

根据画线词所在句中的“ten－daytideblanketedthebarren300－metrelongrockbeachwithhundredsoftonsofsoftgoldensand”可知，由于潮水的力量，300米长的岩石海滩被松软的金沙覆盖了。

画线词修饰岩石海滩，结合文章内容可知，海滩消失之后，三十多年来岩石海滩表面什么都没有，所以画线词与bare同义，意为“空的，荒芜的”。

7．WhatshouldtouristsavoidaccordingtoSeanMolloy?

A．Spoilingtheshores.

B．Gettingintotherockpools.

C．Playingwithdolphins.

D．Swimmingnearthebeach.

推理判断题。

根据第四段中的“Heinsteadrecommendsvisitorsenjoythesoftsandandleavetheswimmingtothedolphinsthatfrequentthearea”可知，SeanMolloy建议游客享受松软的沙子，把游泳让给海豚，即他建议游客不要在海滩附近游泳。

D

【难句分析】　Becauseofthesandcomingin，wedon'

tknowhowsafethebeachisnowbecausecurrents（水流）couldbechangedandit'

lltakealittlebitoftime.

分析：

本句包含how引导的宾语从句，because引导的原因状语从句。

译文：

因为沙子的到来，我们不知道现在海滩的安全性怎样，因为洋流可能被改变，需要一点时间（才能确定人们是否可以在这里安全地游泳）。

Thebeliefthatnewtechnologiesarecausingthedeathofworkistheideathatnevergoesaway.Despiteevidencetothecontrary，westillviewtechnologicalchangestodayasbeingmorerapidanddramaticinitsconsequencesforworkthaneverbefore.Butthisisnothingnew.Peoplehavealwaysviewedthetechnologicalchangesthattakeplaceduringtheirlivesasthemostdramaticanddangerousthateverhavehappenedinhistory.

Inthe1930s，theBritisheconomist（经济学家）JohnMaynardKeynespredictedthewidespreaduseofelectricitywouldproduceaworldwherepeoplespentmostoftheirtimedoingnothing.IntheUnitedStatesduringthe1960s，thegovernmentrepeatedlyinvestigatedfearsthatautomaticmachineswouldpermanentlyreducetheamountofworkavailable.In1988，oneAustralianhistorianclaimedthatatleastaquarteroftheworkforcewouldbewithoutjobswithin10yearsbecauseofcomputers.

【语篇解读】　新技术的到来促进了经济的飞速发展，但是人们纷纷担心它会减少工作，加剧失业。

本文通过陈述新技术的发展客观事实和现状，来减少人们的恐慌。

8．Whatisthefunctionofthesecondparagraph?

A．Toexplaintheimportanceofdevelopingnewtechnology.

B．Toshowhowtechnologyaffectedemploymentinthepast.

C．Toarguethattechnologicaldangersarebecomingmoreserious.

D．Togivehistoricalexamplesofunnecessaryfearaboutnewtechnology.

文章的第三段是对第二段的总结，并指出这些灾难都没有出现在英国、美国、澳大利亚以及其他地方，由此可以推知，第二段是用例子来说明对新技术将带来威胁的这种担心是没有必要的。

9．Howcanemploymentstatisticsoverthepast20yearsbestbedescribed?

A．Confusing.B．Reliable.

C．Stable.D．Variable.

根据第五段最后一句中的“remainedremarkablyconstant”（保持得非常稳定）和第六段第一句中的“Thisstability”（这样的稳定）可知，近20年的就业数据是稳定的。
