【正文】 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.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 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. 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. 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行分邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。由此可知本文屬于科普文章。為了證實(shí)是否可能，研究人員養(yǎng)了18只這種鵝，并在大型風(fēng)洞中訓(xùn)練它們飛行。 （4）考查推理判斷。s not clear whether these adaptations alone are what make it possible to fly the 8 hours it takes to climb over Mount Everest. 可知，目前尚不清楚的是，只有這些適應(yīng)性變化能否可以飛行8小時(shí)爬上珠穆朗瑪峰。 （3）考查推理判斷。這兩處綜合推斷出，鵝可以在最低濃度的氧氣中生存。s heart rate and frequency of wing beats remained the same even as their metabolic rate dropped....the researchers report today in elife.

But those few minutes showed these geese really could fly over the top of Mount Everest.（1）Why did the researchers raise 19 barheaded geese and train them? A.s heart rate and frequency of wing beats remained the same even as their metabolic rate dropped. Somehow, the birds managed to cool down their bloodthe measured blood temperature dropped so it could take in more oxygen, the researchers report today in eLife. This cooling likely helps pensate for the very thin air, the team says. Birds already have a better heart and lungs than mammals for sustained physical activity. And researchers knew that barheaded geese have even larger, thinner lungs that let them breathe more deeply and an even bigger heart to pump more oxygen to muscles than other birds. In 1953, a mountain climber reported seeing a barheaded goose soar over the peak of Mount Everest (珠穆朗瑪). It was thought impossible. Now researchers who raised 19 of the geese—named for the black stripes on the backs of their heads—have shown the birds really fly so high. 【點(diǎn)評】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，是一篇科研類閱讀，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，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。因此，本文的最佳標(biāo)題應(yīng)為“格陵蘭島曾經(jīng)更加綠色”。 （4）考查主旨大意?！案窳晏m西北部可能真的感覺很遙遠(yuǎn)，但冰蓋的變化將關(guān)系到世界上每個(gè)沿海城市的每個(gè)人。根據(jù)第三段中的“After all, Greenland covers 80 per cent of the Arctic country and holds enough ice to equal 20 feet of global sea level. ‘Northwest Greenland might feel really remote, but what happens to that ice sheet is going to matter to everyone in every coastal city around the world,’” 故選B。根據(jù)第三段中的“This new information could help researchers better measure Greenland39。故選C。根據(jù)第一段中的“The mud, and remains of mon flies in it, record two interglacial periods（間冰期）in northwest Greenland.”在格陵蘭島西北部，泥漿和常見蒼蠅的殘骸記錄了兩次間冰期；以及第二段中的“Although researchers have long known these two periods—the early Holocene and Last Interglacial—experienced warming in the Arctic, the mix of fly species shows that Greenland was even warmer than previously thought. ”盡管研究人員很早就知道這兩個(gè)時(shí)期——全新世早期和最后一次間冰期——在北極經(jīng)歷了變暖，但混合的蠅類表明格陵蘭島甚至比之前認(rèn)為的還要熱。現(xiàn)在研究人員認(rèn)為，格陵蘭北部的冰蓋經(jīng)歷了比之前認(rèn)為的更強(qiáng)烈的變暖。s scientists to find ancient lake deposits. are surprised at the landscape feature of Greenland today. measure the changing temperatures by directly examining mud. holds enough ice that might one day threaten life in coastal cities.（4）Which do you think is the best title of the passage?

After all, Greenland covers 80 per cent of the Arctic country and holds enough ice to equal 20 feet of global sea level. Northwest Greenland might feel really remote, but what happens to that ice sheet is going to matter to everyone in every coastal city around the world, said Yarrow Axford, an associate professor in the team. One of the big uncertainties in climate science is how fast the Earth changes when it gets warmer. Geology gives us a
