These returning fish, are crucial for coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystems. Boosting fish populations in this way could help to kickstart natural recovery processes, preventing the damage we39。Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy placesthe crackle of snapping shrimp and the whoops and grunts of fish. Young fish concentrate on these sounds when they39。 Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are an integral part of sea life and sustain it by providing shelter and habitat to various organisms. They also supply and recycle nutrients as well as enable a growing fish population, along with other species, for a healthy and diverse ecosystem. However, the rise in average water temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and longtime coral bleaching (白化現(xiàn)象) events that damage their health, causing fish and other sea species to abandon them. 【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，是一篇故事類閱讀，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。根據(jù)最后一段“I cried for a solid five minutes when I came into work the next day and found this gift in my locker.”第二天上班時(shí)，我在儲(chǔ)物柜里發(fā)現(xiàn)了這件禮物，哭了整整五分鐘。故選B。最后幾周的ASL基礎(chǔ)學(xué)習(xí)絕對(duì)值得。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五段中的“His daughter broke down crying and told me I was sweet. But the father just smiled and was so happy.”可知當(dāng)他們登記入住時(shí)，女兒哭了，女兒情緒失控的原因是作者的細(xì)心體貼感動(dòng)了她，這讓她的爸爸很開心。故選D。根據(jù)第二段中的“As they would be here for a number of days, his daughter wanted to make his trip to Ireland as smooth as possible.”由于他們要在這里呆幾天，他的女兒想讓他的愛爾蘭之行盡可能順利。s checkout smooth author was deeply moved by an unexpected gift daughter cried for five minutes before they left daughter asked the author to learn sign language【答案】 （1）D（2）C（3）B（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，作者回憶了接待一對(duì)父女來愛爾蘭旅游，幫助他們登記的故事，因?yàn)槟俏桓赣H是個(gè)聾啞人，執(zhí)著專門學(xué)了手勢(shì)語歡迎來愛爾蘭，結(jié)果那位父親對(duì)于作者的接待很滿意，走得時(shí)候還送給作者禮物，并給經(jīng)理寫信，希望給作者加薪。t be working when they checked out（3）Seeing the father39。s trip more fortable（2）The daughter cried when they checked in because __________. author39。ve made his trip very special with one simple gesture.t working the day they checked out, but they left a gift for me, a small box with some chocolates and a book on ASL. Inside was a note saying: Thank you very much for what you did. My father has been in amazing spirits from the time you checked us in and insisted we get you a gift before we left. You have no idea how much this meant to my father and me, and we can39。 I smiled at the father and daughter in front of me. Turning to the father, I greeted him in ASL (American Sign Language) and began the bit I had learned for him. His daughter broke down crying and told me I was sweet. But the father just smiled and was so happy. Honestly, seeing his reaction was enough for me. It was absolutely worth the last few weeks of learning basic ASL. Upon seeing this note and knowing I would be the one to check them in, I decided to learn some very basic sign language. I greeted the guest in my usual fashion, asking for the surname on the booking. Once I heard the name，I immediately realized who was standing in fron
