Ⅴ.阅读理解

Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678,000 square kilometres. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.

All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3,500,000 tons. The waste includes bags, bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.

The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about 1,600 kilometres west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert, with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.

In recent years, there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste, resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full, diminishing their desire to eat or drink.

The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste, and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.

Its existence first gained public attention in 1997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Several years earlier, another oceanographer learnt of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.

1.The first paragraph is written to 　　　. 

A.lead in the topic of the text

B.inspire readers’ imagination

C.develop readers’ interest in Texas

D.talk about reasons for water pollution

2.What does the underlined word “diminishing” in paragraph 4 mean?

A.Increasing.　　　　

B.Determining.

C.Weakening. 

D.Reserving.

3.What can we infer about the floating garbage according to the text?

A.It gives rise to various diseases.

B.It does great harm to sea animals.

C.Causes of it still remain unknown.

D.Efforts to clear it have been made.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A.To warn people about dangers of diving in the ocean.

B.To explore the future of the North Pacific Ocean.

C.To give advice on how to recycle waste in the ocean.

D.To introduce the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.

Ⅵ.阅读表达

Some people live to climb the highest mountains. Some people live only dreaming about it while others live to avoid ever climbing at all. But one thing is certain, all people encounter mountains in their life.

When I was a little girl, my family moved to a tiny town at the bottom of a big mountain. One day after school, while exploring the green woods of this magnificent mountain, I almost fell on a set of stairs. What could these steps lead to? Curiosity got the best of me as I knew it would be starting to get dark soon. I started climbing up those strangely mysterious steps.

I climbed and climbed. There was nothing but just green bushes and these steps. I had to reach the top! But it was now getting really dark. If I kept going I might not be able to see my way back. My mum would be worried if I didn’t come home soon. So I ran back home almost in the dark while trying not to get too scared.

Anxiously I went to bed dreaming about what I would find at the top of this magical mountain. Could there be a castle up there? Maybe I would find a monster(怪物). Maybe I was taking the risk of never coming back home. Or, maybe all I would find was absolutely nothing! But something inside me was going to climb that mountain at all costs. I could hardly wait to try this adventure again.

Now we live in a world surrounded by the “can’t do” attitudes. We all fall down. We all have doubts and regrets. Still we must climb and dream about what’s at the top of our mountain. Monsters may appear or the night will fall. But never give up your dream! Never let anyone tell you,“You can’t.” Dream big and climb high! 

1.What made the author start to climb up the stairs to the mountain top? (no more than 5 words)

2.Why did the author hurry back home without reaching the top of the mountain? Give two reasons. (no more than 15 words)

3.How would you describe the author in terms of personalities according to paragraph 4? (no more than 10 words)

4.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (no more than 5 words)

5.What’s your attitude towards the “mountain” in your life? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)

答案：

Ⅰ.1.foundation　2.awareness　3.under　4.to come　5.From　6.mixed　7.coverage　8.killing

Ⅱ.1.set sail　2.for the benefit of　3.in hand　4.in return for　5.found their way　6.was sensitive to　7.on their annual immigration　8.in possession of　9.took action

Ⅳ.1.B　句意: 直到这位年轻人被带到警察局后他才承认他偷了其他乘客的钱包。此处用acknowledge表示 “承认”; participate “参加”; summarise “总结”; realise “意识到, 实现”。

2.A　句意: 每个人都有自己的缺点。因此, 我们应该学会容忍别人。tolerant “容忍的”; ignorant “无知的”; conscious “意识到的”; jealous “嫉妒的”。

3.C　答句的意思是 “好的, 只要你简短地说”。now that引导原因状语从句, 意为 “既然”; if only “要是……就好了”; so long as “只要”, 引导条件状语从句; every time “每当……的时候”, 引导时间状语从句。

4.B　句意: 经理提出了一条建议, 我们应该有个助手。此处考查同位语从句的引导词, 由于空后的从句不缺少任何成分, 故该同位语从句应用that来引导。故选B项。

5.B　句意: 雨季最让人愉悦的一件事情就是可以完全远离尘土。分析句子结构可知, 空格处在句中引导表语从句, 且从句句子结构完整, 故用that, 只起连接作用, 无意义。

Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍北太平洋上漂浮的大量的塑料垃圾的情况, 指出了它们对海洋中的生物以及人类的影响。

1.A　推理判断题。根据第一段 “Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678,000 square kilometres. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.” 可知,作者拿得克萨斯州与大量的垃圾漂浮物进行比较从而引出本文话题。故选A项。

2.C　词义猜测题。根据第四段倒数第二句 “Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic.” 和下句中的 “also” 可知,垃圾也能使动物感到饱, 减少它们吃东西的欲望。由此可知, 画线词的意思是 “减弱”。故选C项。

3.B　推理判断题。根据第四段第一句 “In recent years, there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health.” 可知, 漂浮垃圾会对海洋生物带来很大的危害。故选B项。

4.D　作者意图题。本文通过介绍北太平洋上漂浮的大量的塑料垃圾的情况, 指出了它们对海洋中的生物以及人类的影响。故选D项。
