第二节 阅读理解(共15小题)
A
“Ww, this carrt is shaped like a spaceship!”
As a child, I’d always been drawn t strangely shaped vegetables in the prduce aisle: hrseshe eggplants, flat bell peppers, three-legged as time passed, TV ads and perfect supermarket displays taught me that tmates shuld always be perfectly rund, carrts straight and apples bright red. I was taught that what lked nice must taste nice.
Tday, the United States Department f Agriculture (USDA) acts much like Vgue and Csmplitan, setting unrealistic beauty expectatins n hw prduce ught t lk, dwn t the exact clr, shape and size. But appearance is a pr indicatr f flavr, nutritinal value and even freshness. Fd stylists in TV ads have cnditined us t see pretty as delicius and nutritius. Hwever, Linda Hagen, a prfessr f cnsumer behavir frm the University f Suthem Califmia, denies the cnnectin between beauty and nutritin, explaining that it is just anther marketing strategy used by fd cmpanies t increase sales.
In the United States alne, an estimated six billin punds f ugly prduce is left unharvested, unsld and uneaten every year. That’s enugh fd t feed three millin peple fr a whle year!
The discarding f imperfect prduce is nt just wasteful; it als cntributes significantly t climate change. Rtting prduce creates large amunts f methane, a greenhuse gas 28 times mre effective than carbn dixide. When supermarkets tss away an ill-shaped tmat, they are als tssing away all f the fertilizer, water and energy that went int grwing, string and transprting that tmat.
I’ve decided t take this issue int my wn hands. Wrking with lcal farms, markets, meal centers and fd banks, I have rescued ver 4, 500 punds f edible, nutritius, ften rganic, ugly prduce in my city. Hwever, helping can be a lt easier than driving frm farm t farm every weekend.
19. Hw des the writer find the USDA?
A. Inactive.B. Invaluable.
C. Inaccessible.D. Irrespnsible.
20. What is Prf. Linda Hagen’s attitude twards the utside beauty f prduce？
A. It reflects the inside value f prduce.
B. It’s a reasnable marketing strategy.
C. It’s by n means cnnected with nutritin.
D. It indicates flavr, nutritin and freshness.
21. What will be talked abut next?
A. Sme simple ways t rescue ugly prduce.
B. Sme ther cuntries that waste prduce.
C. Sme stries f the writer visiting farms.
D. Sme new discveries by fd prfessinals.
B
Between 1910 and 1970 the Australian gvernment tk 100,000 Abriginal (原住民的) children away frm their hmes. These children, knwn as the Stlen Generatin,were ften under five years f age. They were taken away frm their families because the gvernment did nt believe in the future f the Abrigines. It was assumed that the Abriginal way f life wuld die ut in a matter f years and that it wuld be better t bring the children t white families.
Many methds were used t separate Abriginal babies and children frm their families. Children were simply taken away by gvernment fficials and later tld that they were rphans. Mthers ften were given dcuments t sign. They culd nt read r write and they were tld it was sme kind f vaccinatin (疫苗接种) prgramme. Others were taken t hspitals and never seen by their families again. In mst cases rich white families were given mney t bring them up. Sme went t rphanages r church missins.
In 1995, an investigatin was started t bring mre truth t the tpic. The gvernment, hwever, did nt aplgise t the victims. The Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was the first Australian plitician t make a frmal aplgy t the Abrigines in 2008. Hwever, he als said that the gvernment wuld nt give any mney t the victims. He claimed that it was in the interests f gvernment t raise the children in the best way.
Up t nw nly ne member f Australia’s Stlen Generatin has received mney frm the gvernment. Bruce Trevrrw was taken t hspital n Christmas Day in 1957. His father never saw him again and the gvernment sent him t a white family. He came back t his mther when he was ten years ld. In his further life he suffered frm depressin and turned t alchl. In 1998, he went t curt and succeeded in getting abut 500,000 dllars frm the Australian gvernment as a frm f cmpensatin (赔偿).
There are many thers in Australia wh have suffered the same fate. Organisatins are being set up t wrk fr the rights f the Abrigines and t make sure that nthing like this ever happens again.
22. Why were abriginal children taken away frm their hmes?
A. They were rphans.
B. Their family were t pr t supprt them.
C. The gvernment thught the Abriginal way f life wuld die ut.
D. Many white families wanted t give these children better educatin.

B. He was the first t give mney t the abriginal victims.
C. He didn’t aplgise t the Abriginal victims.

The lw percentage f wmen in science ，technlgy，engineering，and mathematics(STEM) careers is ften attributed (归因于) t men being believed t be better at the srt f thinking thse fields require. Thugh studies have debunked the view,they have largely been based n results acquired frm varius several standardized tests. Nw, researchers frm Pennsylvania' S Carnegie Melln University have fund evidence that is hard t verlk; MRI (磁共振成像) prves that yung girls and bys use the same mechanisms and netwrks in the brain t slve math prblems.
The grundbreaking study t evaluate the bilgical gender differences in the math talent f yung children was led by the university' s prfessr f neurscience, Jessica Cantln. Fr their study ,the team selected 104 yung children, between 3 and 10 years ld, divided almst equally by gender. The scientists used a functinal MRI t bserve their brain activity as they engaged in math tasks. These included watching age apprpriate educatinal vides and ding math exercises such as cunting and additin,as well as reading fr cmparisn.
“We lked at which areas f the brain respnd mre strngly t mathematics cntent in the vides and tasks, cmpared t nn math cntent like reading r the alphabet, Cantln said.“When we d that in lite girls, we see a particular netwrk f the brain respnd,and when we d that same analysis in bys, we see the exact same regins.”
S why d girls and yung wmen tend t avid math and STEM careers in general? Cantln thinks it may be rted in scial and cultural cnventins. Previus studies have indicated that parents tend t spend mre time with yung bys in play that inspire spatial cgnitin (空间认知)-such as tys that invlve learning number skills and shapes and slving puzzles. Educatrs were als bserved t spend mre time with bys during math class.
26. What des the underlined wrd“debunked” in paragraph 1 mean?

A. The purpse f the research.
B. The prcess f the research.
C The participants f the research.
D. The findings f the research.
28. What cntributes t the lack f wmen in STEM careers?
A. Mental capacity.B. Gender difference.
C. Traditinal prejudice.D. Family backgrund.
29. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. MRI- A Great Helper in Research
B. Tys- Bsters fr STEM Ptential
C. Bys and Girls: Equally Talented in Math
D. STEM Careers: Calling fr Mre w men

Great whites, the largest predatry(捕食性的)sharks in the wrld with the mst fatal attacks n humans, are tugh t imagine as newbrn babies. That is partially because n ne has seen ne in the wild, it seems, until nw.
Wildlife filmmaker Carls Gauna and UC Riverside bilgy dctral student Phillip Sternes were scanning the waters fr sharks n July 9, 2023, near Santa Barbara n Califrnia’s central cast. That day, smething exciting appeared n the viewfinder f Gauna’s drne camera. It was a shark pup(幼崽)unlike any they’d ever seen.
“We enlarged the images, put them in slw mtin, and realized the white layer was being shed(脱落)frm the bdy as it was swimming,” Sternes said. “I believe it was a newbrn white shark shedding its embrynic layer.”
These bservatins are dcumented in a new paper in the Envirnmental Bilgy f Fishes jurnal. What Gauna and Sternes bserved culd help slve the lngstanding mystery f great white birthing habits. This may well be the first evidence we have f a pup in the wild. Great whites, referred t nly as white sharks by scientists, are gray n the tp and white n the bttm. But this rughly 5-ft-lng shark was pure white.
Thugh the paper authrs acknwledge it is pssible that the white layer the shark shed culd have been a skin cnditin, the tw believe what they saw was in fact a newbrn great white. First, great white females give birth t live pups. A secnd reasn is the presence f large, likely pregnant great whites in this lcatin. Finally, this lcatin ff the cast f central Califrnia has lng been prpsed as a birthing lcatin fr great whites. Many schlars believe great whites are brn farther ut at sea.
Great whites are listed as an internatinal endangered species. “Further research is needed t cnfirm these waters are indeed a great white breeding grund. But if it des, we wuld want lawmakers t step in and prtect these waters t help white sharks keep thriving,” Sternes said.
30. What d we knw abut what appeared n Carl s Gauna’s camera?
A. It is rare in the wrld.B. It is tugh t identify.
C. It is nt pen t the public.D. It is unbelievable t scientists.
31. What des the white shark pup lk like?
A. Pure gray.B. White nly n the bttm.
C. Gray n the tp.D. Pure white.
32. What is paragraph 5 mainly abut?
A. Hw great white females give birth t pups.
B. Hw the authrs prve they saw a baby shark.
C. Why the authrs believe they saw a newbrn shark pup.
D. Why the authrs think the white layer is a skin cnditin.
33. What des Sternes hpe fr if their assumptin is cnfirmed?
A. Helping white sharks t stp breeding.
B. Using laws t prtect shark pups and their habitats.
C. Listing white sharks as endangered species.
D. Further study t cnfirm white sharks breeding waters.

65. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There is n schl equal t a decent (体面的) hme and n teacher equal t a virtuus parent.
There are tw typical examples: Edisn’s mther and ur mther. As yu all knw, Thmas Edisn is ne f the mst utstanding scientists and inventrs in the wrld. Unbelievably, yung Tm was in schl fr nly three mnths. It is said that he liked t ask strange questins, many f which have nthing t d with learning. His teacher didn’t understand why he had s many strange questins. He didn’t want t teach Tm any mre. He asked Tm’s mther t take the by hme. Tm’s mther taught him t read and write, and she fund him t be a very gd pupil. He learned very fast and became very interested in science. It was she wh played an imprtant rle in Edisn’s grwth. Althugh we can’t cmpare with Edisn, ur mther played a mre imprtant rle in ur grwth than his mther. Our dad was an English teacher wh taught high schl students. Fr many years, he had been cautius and cnscientius (认真的) twards wrk. Mm stayed hme and hmeschled their fur children. Three f us had n truble in learning but my sister Catherine still culd nt read by fifth grade, and wrse still, did nt even knw the alphabet (字母表).
My mther did sme research and fund that Catherine had sme srt f learning disability. She sent Catherine t a public schl t get sme help. Catherine made many friends at schl and amazed everyne with her gift fr telling creative stries in class, but she still culdn’t master reading skills. After all the testing was dne, the schl had my parents cme in. They were tld that based n the test results, they shuld just take Catherine hme, which was very similar t Edisn’s experience. Hwever, the biggest difference is that Edisn was nt stupid, and my sister really had learning disabilities.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Tears f sadness ran dwn my dad’s cheeks.

“Ww, this carrt is shaped like a spaceship!”
As a child, I’d always been drawn t strangely shaped vegetables in the prduce aisle: hrseshe eggplants, flat bell peppers, three-legged as time passed, TV ads and perfect supermarket displays taught me that tmates shuld always be perfectly rund, carrts straight and apples bright red. I was taught that what lked nice must taste nice.
Tday, the United States Department f Agriculture (USDA) acts much like Vgue and Csmplitan, setting unrealistic beauty expectatins n hw prduce ught t lk, dwn t the exact clr, shape and size. But appearance is a pr indicatr f flavr, nutritinal value and even freshness. Fd stylists in TV ads have cnditined us t see pretty as delicius and nutritius. Hwever, Linda Hagen, a prfessr f cnsumer behavir frm the University f Suthem Califmia, denies the cnnectin between beauty and nutritin, explaining that it is just anther marketing strategy used by fd cmpanies t increase sales.
In the United States alne, an estimated six billin punds f ugly prduce is left unharvested, unsld and uneaten every year. That’s enugh fd t feed three millin peple fr a whle year!
The discarding f imperfect prduce is nt just wasteful; it als cntributes significantly t climate change. Rtting prduce creates large amunts f methane, a greenhuse gas 28 times mre effective than carbn dixide. When supermarkets tss away an ill-shaped tmat, they are als tssing away all f the fertilizer, water and energy that went int grwing, string and transprting that tmat.
I’ve decided t take this issue int my wn hands. Wrking with lcal farms, markets, meal centers and fd banks, I have rescued ver 4, 500 punds f edible, nutritius, ften rganic, ugly prduce in my city. Hwever, helping can be a lt easier than driving frm farm t farm every weekend.
19. Hw des the writer find the USDA?
A. Inactive.B. Invaluable.
C. Inaccessible.D. Irrespnsible.
20. What is Prf. Linda Hagen’s attitude twards the utside beauty f prduce？
A. It reflects the inside value f prduce.
B. It’s a reasnable marketing strategy.
C. It’s by n means cnnected with nutritin.
D. It indicates flavr, nutritin and freshness.
21. What will be talked abut next?
A. Sme simple ways t rescue ugly prduce.
B. Sme ther cuntries that waste prduce.
C. Sme stries f the writer visiting farms.
D. Sme new discveries by fd prfessinals.
【答案】19. D 20. C 21. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了美国农业部(USDA)对农产品的外观设定了不切实际的美丽预期，从而导致大量丑陋农产品的浪费，作者认为外观并不能很好地反映风味、营养价值甚至新鲜度，决定采取行动拯救丑陋农产品。
【19题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Tday, the United States Department f Agriculture (USDA) acts much like Vgue and Csmplitan, setting unrealistic beauty expectatins n hw prduce ught t lk, dwn t the exact clr, shape and size. But appearance is a pr indicatr f flavr, nutritinal value and even freshness.( 如今，美国农业部(USDA)的行为很像《Vgue》和《Csmplitan》杂志，对农产品的外观设定了不切实际的美丽预期，甚至包括确切的颜色、形状和大小。但外观并不能很好地反映风味、营养价值甚至新鲜度。)”可知，作者认为USDA对农产品的外观设定了不切实际的美丽预期，而外观并不能很好地反映风味、营养价值甚至新鲜度，这是不负责任的。故选D。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Hwever, Linda Hagen, a prfessr f cnsumer behavir frm the University f Suthem Califmia, denies the cnnectin between beauty and nutritin, explaining that it is just anther marketing strategy used by fd cmpanies t increase sales.( 然而，南加州大学的消费者行为学教授琳达·哈根否认了美丽和营养之间的联系，解释说这只是食品公司用来增加销售的另一种营销策略。)”可知，Linda Hagen教授对农产品外在美的态度是它与营养毫无关系。故选C。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“In the United States alne, an estimated six billin punds f ugly prduce is left unharvested, unsld and uneaten every year. That’s enugh fd t feed three millin peple fr a whle year!( 据估计，仅在美国，每年就有60亿磅丑陋的农产品没有收获，没有出售，没有食用。这些食物足够三百万人吃一整年！)”和文章最后一段“I’ve decided t take this issue int my wn hands. Wrking with lcal farms, markets, meal centers and fd banks, I have rescued ver 4, 500 punds f edible, nutritius, ften rganic, ugly prduce in my city. Hwever, helping can be a lt easier than driving frm farm t farm every weekend.( 我决定自己解决这个问题。我与当地的农场、市场、餐饮中心和食品银行合作，在我的城市里拯救了超过4500磅的可食用、营养丰富、通常是有机的、丑陋的农产品。然而，帮忙要比每个周末开车从一个农场到另一个农场容易得多。)”可知，美国存在丑陋农产品浪费的问题，作者想着手解决这个问题，由此可推知，文章接下来可能讨论拯救丑陋农产品的简单方法。故选A。

Between 1910 and 1970 the Australian gvernment tk 100,000 Abriginal (原住民的) children away frm their hmes. These children, knwn as the Stlen Generatin,were ften under five years f age. They were taken away frm their families because the gvernment did nt believe in the future f the Abrigines. It was assumed that the Abriginal way f life wuld die ut in a matter f years and that it wuld be better t bring the children t white families.
Many methds were used t separate Abriginal babies and children frm their families Children were simply taken away by gvernment fficials and later tld that they were rphans. Mthers ften were given dcuments t sign. They culd nt read r write and they were tld it was sme kind f vaccinatin (疫苗接种) prgramme. Others were taken t hspitals and never seen by their families again. In mst cases rich white families were given mney t bring them up. Sme went t rphanages r church missins.
In 1995, an investigatin was started t bring mre truth t the tpic. The gvernment, hwever, did nt aplgise t the victims. The Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was the first Australian plitician t make a frmal aplgy t the Abrigines in 2008. Hwever, he als said that the gvernment wuld nt give any mney t the victims. He claimed that it was in the interests f gvernment t raise the children in the best way.
Up t nw nly ne member f Australia’s Stlen Generatin has received mney frm the gvernment. Bruce Trevrrw was taken t hspital n Christmas Day in 1957. His father never saw him again and the gvernment sent him t a white family. He came back t his mther when he was ten years ld. In his further life he suffered frm depressin and turned t alchl. In 1998, he went t curt and succeeded in getting abut 500,000 dllars frm the Australian gvernment as a frm f cmpensatin (赔偿).
There are many thers in Australia wh have suffered the same fate. Organisatins are being set up t wrk fr the rights f the Abrigines and t make sure that nthing like this ever happens again.
22. Why were abriginal children taken away frm their hmes?
A. They were rphans.
B. Their family were t pr t supprt them.
C The gvernment thught the Abriginal way f life wuld die ut.
D. Many white families wanted t give these children better educatin.
23. What can be inferred accrding t the text?

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了澳大利亚政府在1910至1970年之间曾把很多原住民家庭的孩子骗走，教给白人家庭抚养。现在此事已公开，政府也已道歉。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“They were taken away frm their families because the gvernment did nt believe in the future f the Abrigines. It was assumed that the Abriginal way f life wuld die ut in a matter f years and that it wuld be better t bring the children t white families.(他们被从家人身边带走，因为政府不相信原住民的未来。人们认为土著居民的生活方式将在几年内消失，最好把孩子带到白人家庭)”可知，政府认为原住民会消失。这些孩子不是孤儿，A项不对； B和 D项文章没有提到。故选C项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Many methds were used t separate Abriginal babies and children frm their families. Children were simply taken away by gvernment fficials and later tld that they were rphans. Mthers ften were given dcuments t sign. They culd nt read r write and they were tld it was sme kind f vaccinatin(疫苗接种) prgramme. (许多方法被用来将土著婴儿和儿童与他们家人分开。孩子们只是被政府官员带走，他们后来被告知是孤儿。母亲们通常会拿到需要签署的文件。他们不会读也不会写，他们被告知这是某种疫苗接种计划)”可知，政府为了把原著居民孩子带走，打着“接种疫苗项目”的幌子，欺骗孩子的母亲，这些母亲不识字。故选A项。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Hwever, he als said that the gvernment wuld nt give any mney t the victims. He claimed that it was in the interests f gvernment t raise the children in the best way.(然而，他也表示，政府不会向受害者提供任何资金。他声称以最好的方式培养孩子符合政府的利益)”可知，他试图证明政府当时的做法是对的，在维护政府的决定。故选D项。
【25题详解】

The lw percentage f wmen in science ，technlgy，engineering，and mathematics(STEM) careers is ften attributed (归因于) t men being believed t be better at the srt f thinking thse fields require. Thugh studies have debunked the view,they have largely been based n results acquired frm varius several standardized tests. Nw, researchers frm Pennsylvania' S Carnegie Melln University have fund evidence that is hard t verlk; MRI (磁共振成像) prves that yung girls and bys use the same mechanisms and netwrks in the brain t slve math prblems.
The grundbreaking study t evaluate the bilgical gender differences in the math talent f yung children was led by the university' s prfessr f neurscience, Jessica Cantln. Fr their study ,the team selected 104 yung children, between 3 and 10 years ld, divided almst equally by gender. The scientists used a functinal MRI t bserve their brain activity as they engaged in math tasks. These included watching age apprpriate educatinal vides and ding math exercises such as cunting and additin,as well as reading fr cmparisn.
“We lked at which areas f the brain respnd mre strngly t mathematics cntent in the vides and tasks, cmpared t nn math cntent like reading r the alphabet, Cantln said.“When we d that in lite girls, we see a particular netwrk f the brain respnd,and when we d that same analysis in bys, we see the exact same regins.”
S why d girls and yung wmen tend t avid math and STEM careers in general? Cantln thinks it may be rted in scial and cultural cnventins. Previus studies have indicated that parents tend t spend mre time with yung bys in play that inspire spatial cgnitin (空间认知)-such as tys that invlve learning number skills and shapes and slving puzzles. Educatrs were als bserved t spend mre time with bys during math class.
26. What des the underlined wrd“debunked” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Disprved.B. Supprted.
C. Cnfirmed.D. Overlked.
27. What des paragraph 2 mainly fcus n?
A. The purpse f the research.
B. The prcess f the research.
C. The participants f the research.
D. The findings f the research.
28. What cntributes t the lack f wmen in STEM careers?
A. Mental capacity.B. Gender difference.
C. Traditinal prejudice.D. Family backgrund.
29. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. MRI- A Great Helper in Research
B. Tys- Bsters fr STEM Ptential
C. Bys and Girls: Equally Talented in Math
D. STEM Careers: Calling fr Mre w men
【答案】26. A 27. B 28. C 29. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。研究表明，年轻男孩和女孩大脑中使用相同的机制和网络来解决数学问题。并介绍了研究的过程以及解释了女孩和年轻女性一般都倾向于避开数学和STEM职业的原因。
【26题详解】
词义猜测题。第一段中的“The lw percentage f wmen in science ，technlgy，engineering，and mathematics(STEM) careers is ften attributed (归因于) t men being believed t be better at the srt f thinking thse fields require.”女性在科学、技术、工程和数学职业上的低比例往往归因于男性被认为更擅长这些领域需要的思考方式。“yung girls and bys use the same mechanisms and netwrks in the brain t slve math prblems.”年轻男孩和女孩大脑中使用相同的机制和网络来解决数学问题。根据句意，并且thugh表示转折，可以推断出前后观点不一致，所以，研究结果驳斥了前面的观点。由此可知“debunked”的意思是反驳，故选A项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的内容“the team selected 104 yung children, between 3 and 10 years ld, divided almst equally by gender. The scientists used a functinal MRI t bserve their brain activity …”在他们的研究中，研究小组选择了104名年龄在3到10岁之间的儿童，他们的性别几乎相同。科学家们使用功能性核磁共振成像来观察……可知，第二段讲述了研究对象，观察的方法，研究的内容等，所以第二段关注了研究的过程。故选B项。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的内容“it may be rted in scial and cultural cnventins. Previus studies have indicated that parents tend t spend mre time with yung bys in play that inspire spatial cgnitin (空间认知)—such as tys that invlve learning number skills and shapes and slving puzzles. Educatrs were als bserved t spend mre time with bys during math class.” Cantln认为这可能根植于社会和文化习俗。之前的研究表明，父母倾向于花更多的时间和小男孩一起玩能激发他们空间认知能力的游戏，比如学习数字技能、形状和解决谜题的玩具。研究还发现，教育工作者在数学课上花更多的时间和男孩在一起。可知，传统的偏见导致了STEM职业中缺少女性。故选C项。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段中的“yung girls and bys use the same mechanisms and netwrks in the brain t slve math prblems”（年轻男孩和女孩大脑中使用相同的机制和网络来解决数学问题。）是全文的主题句，后文解释了研究的过程以及女孩和年轻女性一般都倾向于避开数学和STEM职业的原因。可知，所以这篇文章最合适的题目是“男孩和女孩:在数学方面同样有天赋”，故选C项。
【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。该文是介绍一个研究结果的，该类文章的中心一般就在第一段。因此，考生直接抓住第一段中的“yung girls and bys use the same mechanisms and netwrks in the brain t slve math prblems”即可找到文章中心。

Great whites, the largest predatry(捕食性的)sharks in the wrld with the mst fatal attacks n humans, are tugh t imagine as newbrn babies. That is partially because n ne has seen ne in the wild, it seems, until nw.
Wildlife filmmaker Carls Gauna and UC Riverside bilgy dctral student Phillip Sternes were scanning the waters fr sharks n July 9, 2023, near Santa Barbara n Califrnia’s central cast. That day, smething exciting appeared n the viewfinder f Gauna’s drne camera. It was a shark pup(幼崽)unlike any they’d ever seen.
“We enlarged the images, put them in slw mtin, and realized the white layer was being shed(脱落)frm the bdy as it was swimming,” Sternes said. “I believe it was a newbrn white shark shedding its embrynic layer.”
These bservatins are dcumented in a new paper in the Envirnmental Bilgy f Fishes jurnal. What Gauna and Sternes bserved culd help slve the lngstanding mystery f great white birthing habits. This may well be the first evidence we have f a pup in the wild. Great whites, referred t nly as white sharks by scientists, are gray n the tp and white n the bttm. But this rughly 5-ft-lng shark was pure white.
Thugh the paper authrs acknwledge it is pssible that the white layer the shark shed culd have been a skin cnditin, the tw believe what they saw was in fact a newbrn great white. First, great white females give birth t live pups. A secnd reasn is the presence f large, likely pregnant great whites in this lcatin. Finally, this lcatin ff the cast f central Califrnia has lng been prpsed as a birthing lcatin fr great whites. Many schlars believe great whites are brn farther ut at sea.
Great whites are listed as an internatinal endangered species. “Further research is needed t cnfirm these waters are indeed a great white breeding grund. But if it des, we wuld want lawmakers t step in and prtect these waters t help white sharks keep thriving,” Sternes said.
30. What d we knw abut what appeared n Carl s Gauna’s camera?
A. It is rare in the wrld.B. It is tugh t identify.
C. It is nt pen t the public.D. It is unbelievable t scientists.
31. What des the white shark pup lk like?
A. Pure gray.B. White nly n the bttm.
C. Gray n the tp.D. Pure white.
32. What is paragraph 5 mainly abut?
A. Hw great white females give birth t pups.
B. Hw the authrs prve they saw a baby shark.
C. Why the authrs believe they saw a newbrn shark pup.
D. Why the authrs think the white layer is a skin cnditin.
33. What des Sternes hpe fr if their assumptin is cnfirmed?
A. Helping white sharks t stp breeding.
B. Using laws t prtect shark pups and their habitats.
C. Listing white sharks as endangered species.
D. Further study t cnfirm white sharks breeding waters.
【答案】30. A 31. D 32. C 33. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了野生动物电影制片人Carls Gauna和生物学家Phillip Sternes在加州海岸首次拍摄到疑似新生大白鲨脱去胚胎层的珍贵画面，这一发现可能揭示了大白鲨繁殖习惯的奥秘，为长期以来关于大白鲨出生地的推测提供了首个野外证据。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“That is partially because n ne has seen ne in the wild, it seems, until nw.(这在一定程度上是因为到目前为止，似乎还没有人在野外见过这种动物)”及第二段“That day, smething exciting appeared n the viewfinder f Gauna’s drne camera. It was a shark pup unlike any they’d ever seen.(那天，Gauna的无人机摄像机取景器中出现了令人兴奋的一幕。那是一条他们从未见过的鲨鱼幼崽)”可知，镜头中出现的鲨鱼幼崽在世界上是罕见的。故选A。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But this rughly 5-ft-lng shark was pure white.(但这只约5英尺长的鲨鱼全身纯白)”可知，白鲨幼崽看起来像纯白的。故选D。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“Thugh the paper authrs acknwledge it is pssible that the white layer the shark shed culd have been a skin cnditin, the tw believe what they saw was in fact a newbrn great white. First, great white females give birth t live pups. A secnd reasn is the presence f large, likely pregnant great whites in this lcatin. Finally, this lcatin ff the cast f central Califrnia has lng been prpsed as a birthing lcatin fr great whites. Many schlars believe great whites are brn farther ut at sea.(尽管论文作者承认鲨鱼脱落的白色层可能是皮肤状况造成的，但两人认为他们看到的实际上是一只新生的大白鲨。首先，大白雌性产下活的幼崽。第二个原因是这个地方有可能怀孕的大白鲨。最后，这个位于加利福尼亚州中部海岸的地方长期以来一直被认为是大白鲨的出生地。许多学者认为大白鲨出生在更远的海域)”可知，这一段主要讲述为什么作者认为他们看到了一只新生的鲨鱼幼崽。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““Further research is needed t cnfirm these waters are indeed a great white breeding grund. But if it des, we wuld want lawmakers t step in and prtect these waters t help white sharks keep thriving,” Sternes said.(“需要进一步的研究来确认这些水域确实为大白鲨的繁殖地。但如果确定是，我们将希望立法者介入保护这些水域，帮助大白鲨继续繁盛。”Sternes说道)”可知，如果他们的假设得到证实，Sternes希望利用法律保护鲨鱼幼崽及其栖息地。故选B。
