A.was proved of no useB.was widely acceptedC.was promoted officiallyD.was criticized by some people【答案】 （1）C（2）B（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，介紹了生物學(xué)家 Carl Jones 通過(guò)人工繁殖的方式是瀕臨滅絕的鳥類的數(shù)量逐漸增加，并且因此獲得了2016年的印第安的波利斯獎(jiǎng)。 （1）考查詞義猜測(cè)。第二段中的“for his 40 years of work in Mauritius, where he saved an endangered kestrel from being the next Great Auk.”是對(duì)前面句子的補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明，再由“won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize”可推知，這里的accolade與獲獎(jiǎng)有關(guān)，故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“where he saved an endangered kestrel from being the next Great Auk”可知，他保護(hù)了瀕臨滅絕的紅隼，使他免于遭受Great Auk的情況，因此可知Great Auk是一種已經(jīng)滅絕的鳥類，選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild.”可知紅隼的數(shù)量已經(jīng)開(kāi)始增加了，所以推斷出人工繁殖的方法很有效，故選A。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段“A biologist once criticized for stealing eggs from the nests of the rarest bird in the world has been awarded the Nobel Prize of conservation after his methods saved nine species from extinction.”；以及倒數(shù)第二段中的“In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques, with critics arguing that they were too risky and took the emphasis off breeding in the wild.”可知 Jones 教授從稀有鳥類的巢穴中取出鳥蛋的行為被一些人批評(píng)，故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。7．閱讀理解 When I was a very little child, I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world. I would talk to myself, when I grow up, when I can bee rich, I39。ll save kids all over the world. At the age of 17, I began my career here in America, and by 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from sixyearold Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia (白血病)—her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to 2012 when my grandmother lost her battle with cancer, which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF). We39。re all human. And we all just want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one. People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you don39。t have to be rich to help others. You don39。t need to be famous. You don39。t even have to be collegeeducated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a mitment to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother always used to say, If you39。ve got a dollar, there39。s plenty to share.（1）What did the author want to do at a young age?
