Ⅰ.阅读理解

The UN Environment Programme says that rising temperatures could mean the end of some migratory(迁徙的) animals.

During the migration, animals move through several environments as they travel from cold places to warmer areas. Birds may fly from one part of the world to another, perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way. Whales and turtles(海龟) travel through huge areas of the ocean. A report says that changes in any one of the places where these animals stay can cause serious problems. “Obviously these animals have developed their traveling ways over thousands of years. But climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years. And it is impossible for these animals to change their habits fast enough,” said the report writer Dr. Robert Hepworth.

Turtles are hit hardest by rising temperatures. Scientists have found that at higher temperatures, turtles have far more female eggs than male ones. In parts of Malaysia, turtles are only giving birth to female babies. And some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer.

With birds, the main problem is the harm to important areas at the end of their travels or at resting places along the way. About one-fifth of migratory birds are now in danger because of these changes, including the rising sea level, land loss and more strong storms.

Some other animals are now in great danger. For example, the North Atlantic right whale is losing its food because of the changing ocean flow; the white-nosed dolphin is outcompeted by other kinds in warmer waters.

The report is not all bad news. Even with the temperature changing, protecting the environment can still help migratory animals return.“We need governments to start taking action all over the world.The clock is ticking. We should make full use of every minute,” said Dr.Hepworth. And now some projects are already working! Whales are changing their feeding habits, seeking new feeding grounds and new foods to eat.

A.They stop moving through several environments.

B.They can’t adapt to the changes during their travelling.

C.1/5 of migratory birds change their feeding habits.

D.The white-nosed dolphin may have only female babies.

3.What does the underlined sentence “The clock is ticking.” mean?

A.It takes time to achieve the project.

B.It may be too late to save the world.

C.It’s time to solve the problems at once.

D.It’s important to stop animals from returning.

4.What’s the main topic of the passage?

答案

能力提升练

Ⅰ.

1.B　推理判断题。根据第二段中“Obviously these animals have developed...to change their habits fast enough(显然,这些动物在几千年的时间里形成了它们的迁徙方式。但在接下来的25到50年里,气候变化几乎肯定是极大的。这些动物不可能足够快地改变它们的习惯)”可推断,气温升高意味着一些迁徙动物的灭绝是因为它们不能适应迁徙途中的变化,故选B项。

2.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中“And some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer.”可知,变暖的结果是一些海龟在温暖的海水中可能会患上癌症,故选B项。

3.C　词义猜测题。根据画线句前面内容“We need governments to start taking action all over the world.(我们需要政府开始在全世界采取行动。)”和后面内容“We should make full use of every minute(我们应充分利用每一分钟)”可知,时间很紧急,需要立即采取行动。故画线句“The clock is ticking.”的意思是“是马上解决问题的时候了。”故选C。

4.D　主旨大意题。第一段中提到“联合国环境规划署表示,气温升高可能意味着一些迁徙动物的灭绝”,接下来列举了气温上升对鲸、海龟、鸟类以及一些其他动物的影响。因此本文主要介绍气温上升对迁徙动物的影响,故选D项。

Ⅱ.

1.A　根据下文“So, on 14 December 2011, I packed up my life... this tree.”可知,作者在下文中解释了爬到树上住的原因,故此处指“有些人可能想知道,我究竟为什么(why)会选择那样做”。

2.C　根据空后rolled into the forest and began to destroy it可知,是机器(machinery)进入了森林。water水;animal动物;tourist旅游者。

3.A　根据上文rolled into the forest and began to destroy it可知,此处指作者不能忍受(bear)这些森林将永远消失的想法。help帮助;keep保持;spare抽出。

4.D　根据上文关键词destroy可知,大型机械会破坏森林,森林可能会永远消失(lost)。sell出售;steal偷;protect保护。

5.D　根据空后climbed 60 meters to the top of this tree可知,此处指放弃自己的工作。 let go of是固定短语,意为“释放,松手放开”。grow out of产生于,源于(某事物);fall short of未达到,不合格;run out of用完。

6.C　根据空前Life in the tree tops和空后I have times when I feel frustrated可知,此处指“生活在树顶有时会很有挑战性(challenging)”。refreshing提神的;risky有危险的;rewarding值得做的。

7.B　根据空前的I have times when I feel frustrated可知,作者住在树上有时候感到很沮丧,所以希望能够逃离(get away)。get up 起床;give in 让步;give off发出。

8.A　作者有时感到沮丧并希望能离开,去任何地方,哪怕只有一分钟的风景变化(change)! look看;search搜索;touch触摸。

9.D　根据空后“I miss my friends and family.”可知,此处指作者感到很孤单(lonely)。

10.C　根据空后I find myself loving...可知,作者喜欢这样的经历,与上文构成转折关系。因此,此处指尽管(Despite)如此,作者发现自己喜欢这种经历。besides除……之外还……;without没有;unlike不像。

11.B　根据语境可知,此处指作者喜欢上面的这种经历(experience)。height高度; background背景;position位置。

12.C　根据下文here for as long as it takes可知,此处指在这上面停留(stay)。

13.A　上文I am willing to stay up here for as long as it takes和下文I honestly hope...and stand in a forest之间是转折关系,故此处应选but。

14.B　根据上文可知,作者为了保护森林搬到树顶上去居住,所以希望能重回森林的时间不会太久,too long“太久,太长”。

15.B　根据上文“On 12 December 2011, machinery rolled into the forest and began to destroy it.可知,机器进入森林,并开始破坏它。作者想保护森林,所以不想森林再被砍伐(log)。move移动;burn燃烧;miss错过。

Ⅲ.

1.was made　考查时态、语态及主谓一致。设空处为本句的谓语,根据时间状语on February, 2020可知,本空应用一般过去时;且句子主语是decision,和动词make之间为被动关系,故本空应用一般过去时的被动语态。

2.it　考查代词。此处为“make+it+adj.+that”结构,that引导宾语从句,故用it作形式宾语。句意:该决定明确指出,禁止食用所有动物,包括现行《野生动物保护法》或其他法律保护名单上的那些动物和所有陆生野生动物。

3.who　考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,空前为代词anyone,空后句子缺少主语,故推测设空处引导定语从句。修饰指人的代词,并在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who。句意:该决定宣布,任何非法猎捕、买卖、运输、食用列入现行法律保护名录的野生动物的人都将被严厉处罚。

4.severely　考查副词。本空应用副词作状语修饰be punished,故填severely,意为“严厉地”。

5.breaking　考查现在分词。本空修饰名词store,被修饰词store和动词break之间为逻辑上的主动关系,故本空应用现在分词作定语。句意:该决定还表示,任何违反法律的商店都将被关闭,并面临重罚。

6.punishment　考查名词。根据空前形容词heavy可知,本空应用名词punishment。

7.risks　考查名词的数。根据直接引语中的谓语动词have aroused可知,本空应用复数形式。句意:一位官员说:“自从新冠肺炎暴发以来,食用野生动物的风险已经引起了公众的广泛关注。”

8.to pass　考查不定式。分析句式可知,本句中it作形式主语,不定式短语作真正的主语。句意:在预防和控制流行病的关键时刻,全国人大常委会通过这样一项特别的决定是非常必要的。

9.have been raised　考查时态、语态及主谓一致。根据时间状语for a long time可知,本空应用现在完成时;且从句主语that指的是名词Animals,和动词raise之间为被动关系,故本空应用现在完成时的被动语态。

10.on/upon　考查介词。depend on/upon取决于;依赖。

Ⅳ.

One possible version:

Dear Jim, 

Our school will organize a cycling activity themed “Embrace Nature, Gain Happiness” on October 10th. I am writing to invite you to join us.

At 8:00 am, we will gather at the school gate and go to the cycling park. After arriving there, we will rent road bikes and begin our cycling along a 10-kilometer-long route. It’s a good chance to get exercise and enjoy the beautiful view in the park.

Don’t forget to wear your helmet and protective gloves if you come.

Yours,

Li Hua
