   12. The road towards the transition includes daily decisions within your reach-like driving and flying less, switching to a "green" energy provider and changing what you eat and buy.
   13. Yet for all his success in the international arena, his presidency faltered as voters, focused on domestic matters, seemed to perceive him as detached from their everyday lives.
   14. An online survey showed that the respondents who knew someone had given up flying because of climate change, half of them said they flew less as a result.
   15. Depression is the world’s leading cause of disability and it contributes to 800, 000 suicides per year, the majority of which occur in developing countries.
   16. In 2016, a team of scientists declared the upper limit of the life expectancy to be 115 years. But in June, researchers reviewing death rates among elderly Italians suggested that there may be no limit at all.
   17. There are dozens of companies in clinical trials, or planning them, tackling all the different causes of aging, I’m optimistic that there will be a few successes in the coming years.
   18. The disease robbed families of their breadwinner and communities of their pillars, leaving large numbers of elderly people and orphans with no means of support.

选项 A、People are paying more attention to the flight costs.
B、The decision of your friends may influence your decision.
C、People tend to fly less.
D、In order to reduce fuel expenses, people are trying to fly less.

答案 B

解析 语义理解题。原文意思是“一项在线调查显示,当受访者知道有人因为气候变化而放弃搭乘飞机后,他们中的一半人表明会减少飞行次数”,由此可见,选项B正确反映了原文意思,即朋友的决定会对自己的决定产生影响,因此该项为正确答案。虽然原文对其他三项都有所涉及,但是其他三项题干信息各有偏颇,与原文的真实含义相去甚远。此类题目,用排除法会有帮助。
