ess the importance of good memory.D.To mention Nigel39。So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them. This must be the responsibility not just of the government, which can provide funds, but also of corporations and those who benefit most.(1)What is the main purpose of paragraph 1? A. Are you worried that these three types of jobs won39。 But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence works—real AI. Both of Richard and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.5.閱讀理解 故選D。所以短文主要是圍繞著海洋氧含量下降而展開的。 (4)考查主旨大意。故判斷出海洋脫氧改變了一些動物的自然領地。這些調整可能使動物暴露在新的掠食者面前,或迫使它們進入食物匱乏的地區(qū)。 (3)考查推理判斷。所以表面的極地冰水阻止氧氣下沉是海洋缺氧的原因之一。這個過程會形成一種冰蓋,它可以防止水流將地表水混合到海洋更深的深度。 (2)考查細節(jié)理解。所以根據(jù)前兩段,科學家最擔心的是變暖的海洋中日益惡化的脫氧現(xiàn)象。一些最近的研究表明,在過去的50年里,一些熱帶地區(qū)的氧氣含量下降了驚人的40%。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。The Ocean Is Running Out of Breath【答案】 (1)A(2)C(3)A(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了海洋氧含量下降是一個與氣候變化有關的令人擔憂的趨勢。Ocean Warming Affects Food WebC.The Oxygen Levels of Marine LifeNot all ocean animals are bothered by the decreasing oxygen levels.D. natural territories.B.Salty water holds less gas in the increasingly warmer ocean.(3)What can be inferred from the passage? A.Global warming reduces the amount of oxygen in the air.C.The lack of attention to the warming of tropical oceans.(2)Which of the following is a reason for the oxygen loss in the ocean? A.The survival of predators and various marine animals.C. Aside from food web problems, animals face various other physiological challenges as their bodies adjust to lower oxygen levels. Chinese shrimp (蝦) move their tails less vigorously to preserve energy in lower oxygen environments. Some creatures, such as jellyfishes, are more tolerant of low oxygen than others are. But all animals will feel the impact of deoxygenation because they all have evolved their oxygen capacity for a reason, says Oschlies. Any drop in oxygen is going to damage survivability and performance, he says.(1)According to the first two paragraphs, what worries scientists the most? A. A warming ocean loses oxygen for two reasons: First, the warmer a liquid bees, the less gas it can hold. That is why carbonated drinks go flat faster when left in the sun. Second, as polar sea ice melts, it forms a layer of water above colder, more salty sea waters. This process creates a sort of lid that can keep currents from mixing surface water down to deeper depths. And because all oxygen enters the surface, less mixing means less of it at depth. Escaping predators (食肉動物), digestion and other animal activities—including those of humans—require oxygen. But that essential ingredient is no longer so easy for marine life to obtain, several new studies reveal. 【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查,是一篇科普類閱讀,要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系,進行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。所以本文目的是普及有關座頭鯨的知識,并對它們加以保護。 (3)考查主旨大意。冬季的熱帶繁殖區(qū),是溫暖的地方。根據(jù)第五個小黑點后面的The big family migrate between winter tropical breeding areas (North West Shelf, Great Barrier Reef, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiii, Tonga) and summer Antarctic feeding areas. 座頭鯨這個大家族在冬季的熱帶繁殖區(qū)(西北大陸架、大堡礁、新喀里多尼亞、瓦努阿圖、斐濟、湯加)和夏季南極喂養(yǎng)區(qū)之間遷徙。分析選項可知C項符合題意,故選C。 often extensive white on flippers and underside of body and flukes。 (1)考查推理判斷 。popularize the basic knowledge of humpbacks and call for protectionD.explain why humpbacks are still hunted in some parts of the worldB.They are mostly hunted in New Zealand waters.(3)This article is mainly intended tot survive in extreme cold.C.They need warmer waters to breed.B.s description of humpback whales39。The different colors and patterns of the body help to be recognized.D.Their long flippers vary in length, size and shape like dorsal fin.B. back when submerging, but at a distance may be confused with other species that raise their flukes when diving, such as sperm, right and blue whales. Similar species: Easily identifiable due to a 39。s, minke and blue whales. The big family migrate between winter tropical breeding areas (North West Shelf, Great Barrier Reef, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiii, Tonga) and summer Antarctic feeding areas. Once mon in New Zealand waters, humpbacks are now rarely seen and may migrate further offshore. Males pete for mates either by physical fight or by song. Females give birth to their young every two to three years。 270400 olive baleen plates such patterns enable individual recognition Body colour is dark brown to black。 sawtoothed trailing edge on flukes, often raised when diving Flippers are a third of body length。3.犇犇Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. 故選C。眼睛,并在攻擊者身上留下可怕的氣味。根據(jù)Millipedes (千足蟲)部分中的“Their major defense is to curl up into a ball. They, though, also release a harm eyes, and leave a horrible smell on their attackers.”可知,千足蟲主要防守是蜷成一團。故選B。Opossum (負鼠)部分中的“In order to bee ‘dead’, they don39。 (2)考查細節(jié)理解。Sea Hare (海兔)部分中的“The sea hare gives out a slimy, purple ink, the substance which makes food less palatable to predators.”可知,海兔身上散發(fā)出黏糊糊的紫色墨水,這種物質使得捕食者對食物不那么感興趣,從而保護自己免受捕食者的傷害。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。D.C.B.The gas released by millipede was basically harmless.(3)The species that enjoys more than one defense mechanism is ________. A.The opossum fakes its death to avoid being targeted by predators.C.giving off smelly gas to try to drive predators away(2)Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.giving out purple ink to make itself invisible to predatorsC.t know how appealing it is.(1)The sea hare defends itself from predators by ________. A.s not the most popular dish in the seafood chain. Nonetheless this type of sea creature has a
