【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 scientists had only accidentally discovered a small number of meteorites from drilling operations. The objects recovered from the bottom of the sea likely came from the recent explosion for two main reasons. First, meteorite particles are basically made of glassy materials that do not tend to last long in seawater. Secondly, they came from what looked like a small hole on the seafloor. Some evidence shows that they came from something that fell.（1）What is the current goal of the crew of the Ocean Exploration Trust? A.To recover the rock particles.B.To observe movements of the universe.C.To study unexplored places of the ocean.D.To examine creatures of the explored ocean.（2）What mainly caused the start of the search in the sea? A.A huge meteor shower.B.Business value of meteors.C.Plenty of natural resources.D.The brainstorm of researchers.（3）Why do the scientists prefer to search for meteors in the ocean? A.They can find meteors more easily.B.They may find bigger rock particles.C.They like to explore strange sea areas.D.They have better submarine equipment.（4）What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A.Offer clues for the search.B.Give reasons to support a guess.C.Stress the importance of the event.D.Describe the process of the search.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）B（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)了他們認(rèn)為是去年墜落地球的流星碎片。這些物體是在美國(guó)太平洋沿岸發(fā)現(xiàn)的。一場(chǎng)巨大的流星雨導(dǎo)致了在海中搜索的開(kāi)始?？茖W(xué)家更喜歡在海洋中尋找流星是因?yàn)樗麄兛赡軙?huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)更大的巖石顆粒。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“The group says its aim at present is to examine areas of the ocean that have never been explored before.”可知，the Ocean Exploration Trust的船員目前的目標(biāo)是研究海洋中未被探索的地方。故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Scientists have found what they believe are pieces of a meteor(流星)that fell to the earth last year.”可知，一場(chǎng)巨大的流星雨導(dǎo)致了在海中搜索的開(kāi)始。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“The fact that the particles landed in the ocean, instead of on land, means larger pieces may have survived and can be studied.”可知，科學(xué)家更喜歡在海洋中尋找流星是因?yàn)樗麄兛赡軙?huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)更大的巖石顆粒。故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The objects recovered from the bottom of the sea likely came from the recent explosion for two main reasons.”可知，作者在最后一段是想給出支持猜測(cè)的理由。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Darrell Blatchley, a marine biologist and environmentalist based in the Philippine city of Davao, received a call from the Philippines, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (漁業(yè)與水產(chǎn)資源局) early Friday morning reporting a death of a young whale. When the necropsy (尸檢) was performed, Blatchley told NPR, he was not prepared for the amount of plastic they found in the whale39。s stomach. It was full of plastic nothing but nonstop plastic. he said It was filled to the point that its stomach was as hard as a baseball. That means that this animal has been suffering not for days or weeks but for months or even a year or more, Blatchley added. Blatchley is the founder and owner of the D39。Bone Collector Museum, a natural history museum in Davao. In the ing days, the museum will display all the items found in the whale39。s system. Blatchley and his team work with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and other organizations to assist in rescue and recovery of marine animals. Within the last 10 years, we have recovered 61 whales and dolphins just within the Davao Gulf, he said. Of them, 57 have died due to man whether they took plastic or fishing nets or other waste, or gotten caught in pollution — and four were pregnant. Blatchley said he hoped that the latest incident would launch the issue of plastic pollution in the Philippines and across the globe. If we keep going this way, it will be more unmon to see an animal die of natural causes than it is to see an animal die of plastic, he said.（1）What can he inferred from the second paragraph? A.The whale was starved to death.B.Blatchley was shocked at what he found.C.The dead whale must have swallowed a baseball.D.Blatchley didn39。t make preparations for the necropsy.（2）What will be shown in the D39。Bone Collector Museum? A.Waste collected from the ocean.B.The whole system of the whale.C.Things found in the whale39。s body.D.Many different tools of whaling.（3）What does Blatchley think of plastic pollution in the Philippines? A.Unmon.B.Worrying.C.Inspiring.D.Mild.（4）What is the best title for the text? A.A Whale Found Dead of PlasticB.Stand Up for Protecting WhalesC.Plastic Threatening Our ExistenceD.Natural Death or Merciless Murder【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，一只鯨魚(yú)因吞食大量的塑料而死亡，這引發(fā)了人們對(duì)海洋塑料污染的擔(dān)憂。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“he was not prepared for the amount of plastic they found in the whale39。s stomach”可知，布拉奇利在鯨魚(yú)的胃里發(fā)現(xiàn)了大量的塑料，他對(duì)此毫無(wú)準(zhǔn)備，這是他意想不到的，由此可知，布拉奇利對(duì)他的發(fā)現(xiàn)感到震驚，故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“In the ing days, the museum will display all the items found in the whale39。s system.”可知，在鯨魚(yú)體內(nèi)發(fā)現(xiàn)的東西將在這座自然博物館中展出，故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“If we keep going this way, it will be more unmon to see an animal die of natural causes than it is to see an animal die of plastic,”可知，布拉奇利說(shuō)如果我們繼續(xù)這樣下去，動(dòng)物因吃塑料死亡的情況比自然死亡更為常見(jiàn)，由此可知，他對(duì)菲律賓的塑料污染很擔(dān)憂，故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意?？v觀全文可知，本文主要講述了一只鯨魚(yú)因吞食大量的塑料而死亡，這引發(fā)了人們對(duì)塑料污染的擔(dān)憂，故選A。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是
