In order to restore this delicate ecosystem, scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish, potentially kickstarting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms. The location for this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea, found alongside the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The site is noted to have the largest coral reef system in the world. 高二英語(yǔ)閱讀理解技巧(很有用)及練習(xí)題含解析一、高中英語(yǔ)閱讀理解1.閱讀理解 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. 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。By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds, parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish, pared to places where no sounds were played. 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。s words quoted? provide some findings of the study. show the progress of the experiment. explain reasons for the new approach. give another solution to the problem.(4)What can we infer from the last paragraph? attempts are in vain. recovery is impossible. success has been achieved. coral reefs have returned to normal.【答案】 (1)D(2)D(3)C(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,由于氣候變化導(dǎo)致的平均水溫上升導(dǎo)致了更頻繁、更長(zhǎng)期的珊瑚白化事件,而為了恢復(fù)這一脆弱的生態(tài)系統(tǒng),科學(xué)家們?cè)谑軗p的珊瑚礁附近使用水下擴(kuò)音器,讓珊瑚聽(tīng)起來(lái)更健康,從而能夠吸引魚(yú)類(lèi)。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。故選D。根據(jù)第二段中的“In order to restore this delicate ecosystem, scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish, potentially kickstarting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms.”為了恢復(fù)這一脆弱的生態(tài)系統(tǒng),來(lái)自英國(guó)和澳大利亞的科學(xué)家們進(jìn)行了一項(xiàng)研究,他們?cè)谑軗p的珊瑚礁附近使用水下擴(kuò)音器,讓它們聽(tīng)起來(lái)更健康,吸引魚(yú)類(lèi),這可能會(huì)啟動(dòng)珊瑚礁的自然恢復(fù)過(guò)程及其依賴(lài)的生命形式,可知,應(yīng)當(dāng)采用播放某些聲音來(lái)吸引魚(yú)的方法來(lái)恢復(fù)珊瑚礁。 (3)考查推理判斷。故選C。根據(jù)最后一段中的“By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds, parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish, pared to places where no sounds were played.”通過(guò)使用擴(kuò)音器來(lái)模仿這些聲音,人們發(fā)現(xiàn)部分死去的珊瑚礁比沒(méi)有聲音的地方能吸引兩倍多的魚(yú),可推知這一新方法初步取得了成功。 【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,是一篇環(huán)保類(lèi)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,從而選出正確答案。 I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (貼標(biāo)簽) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”t alwa
