【正文】 The ocean is not our world, ments Andre. But it is ours to look after. And thanks to his work, we can better understand the effects of su。 As for dealing with the root cause of the problem, the UN39。 What can be done? One solution is to change shipping routes to courses where ships are statistically less likely to meet animals. It39。 It was not an easy task. Sound waves don39。 The whales had bee desensitised to the noise of approaching boats and were being struck by them, often seriously. We never thought that this could be something that could kill, recalls (回憶) Andre, who is the director of the Laboratory of Applied Bioacoustics at the Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona.8．閱讀理解 s（獵物）position”可知，虎甲蟲的移動比眼睛快，基本上是盲目的，這就要求它不時地停下來，重新評估獵物的位置，由此可知，為了抓住移動的獵物，虎甲蟲需要不時地停下來確定獵物的位置，故選C。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“According to a team of researchers，an animal39。Try to run as fast as it can.【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了對動物時間感知的研究。Stop occasionally to spot the prey again.B.Slow down to gain its time perception.They can fly much faster than their eyes can keep up.D.They can think very deeply before they act.B.The ability of animals to perceive time depends on their high moving speed.D.The survival of fast moving animals relies on their ability to perceive time.B.Time perception of animals.（2）What does Kevin Healy39。Impressive abilities of animals.C.Pace of life of animals. s(獵物)position. Professor Graeme Ruxton of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, who worked jointly on the research project, said in a statement, Having eyes that send updates to the brain at much higher frequencies than our eyes do is of no value if the brain cannot process that information equally quickly. Thus, this work highlights the impressive abilities of even the smallest animal brains. Flies might not be deep thinkers, but they can make good decisions very quickly. The study was done with a variety of animals using phenomenon based on the maximum speed of flashes of light an individual can see before the light source is seen as constant. Dogs, for example, have eyes with a refresh rate higher than humans. s ability to perceive(感知)time is linked to their pace of life. 7．閱讀理解 是一篇環(huán)境保護(hù)類閱讀，因此選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“It39?？芍xB。根據(jù)第四段中的“Some are harmed visibly, stuck by abandoned things made of plastic. Many more are probably harmed invisibly.”一些明顯受到傷害，被塑料制成的廢棄物品卡住了。”他們的塑料廢物很可能在四百年后仍會存在，可知 作者提到the Pilgrims是為了說明塑料廢物對海洋有持久的影響，故選D。 （1）考查推理判斷。D.An environmental report.B.People should avoid using plastics to protect the ocean.（4）From which is the text probably taken? A.It39。t know the solution of plastics waste.B.Treating plastics as food.（3）What does Ted Siegler want to tell us in the last paragraph? A.Being stuck by plastics.C.s the main trouble marine animals face according to the text? A.To tell the Pilgrims contributed a lot to the marine protection.D.To prove plastic was difficult to invent.B.t know what the solution is, says Ted Siegler, a Vermont resource economist who has spent more than 25 years working with developing nations on garbage. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle. It39。 This isn39。s attention with a rough estimate between million and 14 million tons of plastic waste each year just e from coastal regions. No one knows how much unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the ocean, the earth39。 Because plastic wasn39。 If plastic had been invented when the Pilgrims sailed from Plymouth, England, to North Americaand their Mayflower had been stocked with bottled water and plastic wrapped snacks, their plastic waste would likely still be around four centuries later. Atlantic waves and sunlight would have worn all that plastic into tiny bits. And those bits might still be floating around the world39。 【點評】本題考點涉及詞義猜測和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(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。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的The real difficulty lies in the third the technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xin expressions vary according to the content of the news report.

A.This technology is quite popular nowC.They could interact with audience.（3）What do we know about the third technology? A.They looked like a human beingC.Optimistic.（2）What can we infer about previous news robots? A.Confused.Unwilling.Delighted.s performance impressive are mature. The real difficulty lies in the third the technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xin expressions vary according to the content of the news report. In fact, Xins expressions don39。s voice. The developer needs to collect tens of thousands of pieces of pronunciations, input them into the machine and match them with the text or the Al to lean and read. The process for imitating facial movements is similar. The developer has to analyse the movements of the 53 muscles in the human face, make a model set from the collected data for the AI news anchor to lean, and imitate the movements of facial muscles via programs To find
