专题强化练（九）　主旨大意题——段落大意类

A

（2022·福州高中毕业班质检）Tracy Garrett was the Mr Fix­It of a village where I lived for two years.I heard about mysterious doings of his late wife，Minnie.There were stories of someone who had got into trouble a proper amount of money would cure，and each ended on the same strange note： “ Minnie is in hock again.”

I tried to talk with the locals to solve the mystery.But at a newcomer's spying curiosity，the villagers always avoided the issue.It left me completely in the dark.

Soon I began having troubles of my own.My daughter had an expensive operation，but the money I had counted on didn't come in.

One day Garrett came to fix my sink，which never worked properly.Working silently for a while，he looked at me and said，“Understand you've been having a little trouble.”I was feeling bitter，but still talked it out.“Then it's time you met Minnie，”he said decisively.

I felt a bit scared and was prepared for anything，but all that happened was that he took out a tired­looking $1，000 banknote.Roughly printed on it was： MINNIE.

“All you do is take Minnie to the bank and put her up for a loan for any amount up to $1，000.You pay the bank their regular rate of interest，and then Minnie comes back to me，” he continued.“ Minnie loved this village，and she wanted to keep on helping people after she was gone.”

I began to understand why the town folk had been so secretive.They didn't know whether I could be trusted with a secret so precious.

Though I moved away later，I would like to believe Minnie is still in circulation（流通）.Minnie strikes me as the kind of woman who goes on for ever.

[2022·石家庄高中毕业班质检（一）试题]Chinese cultural relic authorities on Thursday revealed some new discoveries from the puzzling Sanxingdui Ruins in Sichuan Province，including a gold mask，a huge bronze mask，bronze statues and ivory carvings.

A complete gold mask 37.2 centimetres wide，16.5 centimetres high and about 100 grams in weight was unearthed from No.3 Pit.The golden mask shares a similar size and the same facial features as one of the bronze heads unearthed before.“This golden mask might be a part of the face of the bronze head，” Ran Honglin head of the Sanxingdui Institute of Archaeology（考古学），told the GlobalTimes.Meanwhile，a large bronze mask，135 centimetres wide and 74 centimetres high，was dug up from the same pit，which is relatively well preserved and it is the largest bronze mask ever discovered at the site.

Among the newly unearthed bronze statues from No.4 Pit，one standing figure is being jokingly called the ancient“ancestor”of the popular Japanese superhero“Ultraman”due to the pointed crown（王冠）on its head and his eyes that stick out.Another bronze statue has a special hairstyle that reminded people of the crown­shaped hat worn by Zhuge Liang，a Chinese statesman living during the Three Kingdoms period.And still another bronze statue has a unique pose.The figure is kneeling down with his head turned to the right and his hands are on the front left side of his body，but most interestingly，the figure is standing on the balls of both feet with his heels high in the air.The shapes and decorations of these bronze statues make them unique as valuable resources for the research of the ancient Kingdom of Shu，some 3，000 years ago.

Currently，the third and fourth pits have produced 729 and 1，073 relics，including three relics made from unknown materials.Meanwhile，200 ivory relics have been discovered in the eighth pit.

Coral reefs are a necessary part of sea life and support it by providing shelter and habitat to various organisms.They also supply and recycle nutrients as well as enable a fish population to boom，along with other species，for a healthy and diverse ecosystem.

However，the rise in average water temperature due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and extended “coral bleaching（珊瑚白化）”events that damage their health，causing fish and other sea species to abandon them.

In order to repair this delicate ecosystem，scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using speakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish，potentially starting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms.

The location of this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea，found alongside the east coast of Queensland，Australia，which is famous for having the largest coral reef system in the world that's 2，300 kilometres long and covers an area of nearly 344，400 square kilometres.By using loudspeakers to reproduce such sounds，areas of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish，compared to places where no sounds were played.These returning fish could help in the recovery of this ecosystem by giving those areas of coral a chance of new life.

“Fish are important for coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystems.Increasing fish populations in this way could help to start the natural recovery process，reducing the damage we're seeing on many coral reefs around the world.Of course，attracting fish to a dead coral reef won't bring it back to life automatically，but the recovery process relies on fish that clean the coral reef to make space for coral to regrow，”said Mark Meekan.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。珊瑚礁是海洋生物的必要组成部分。然而，气候变化造成了珊瑚白化。科学家们进行了研究，在水下使用扬声器来吸引鱼群，以帮助恢复受损的珊瑚礁。

9.What is the first paragraph mainly about？

A.The importance of coral reefs.

B.The influence of climate change.

C.The perfect place for sea species.

D.The ecosystem's diversity and complexity.

解析：段落大意题。根据第一段内容可知，珊瑚礁是海洋生物的必要组成部分，不但为各种海洋生物提供住所和栖息地，还提供和回收利用营养物质，使鱼类种群与其他物种一起繁荣发展，形成一个健康和多样化的生态系统。由此可推知，本段主要讲述了珊瑚礁的重要性。

答案：A

10.What's the purpose of using speakers underwater？

A.To make fish more active.

B.To test damaged coral reefs.

C.To help recover the ecosystem.

D.To help speed the growth of coral reefs.

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，为了修复珊瑚礁这一脆弱的生态系统，科学家们在水下使用了扬声器。

11.Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment？

B.It drew much public attention.

C.It has brought dead coral reefs back to life.

D.The loudspeakers were helpful in attracting fish.

解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“By using loudspeakers...where no sounds were played.”可知，与没有播放声音的地方相比，在该实验中用扬声器产生的声音为死去的珊瑚礁吸引了两倍多的鱼。

答案：D

12.What is Mark Meekan's attitude towards the use of speakers？

A.Doubtful.　　　　　　　　 B.Positive.

C.Disappointed.   D.Indifferent.

解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段Mark Meekan说的话可知，扬声器可以吸引鱼群，鱼群虽然不会使死珊瑚礁自动复活，但其恢复过程依赖鱼来清洁珊瑚礁，以给珊瑚重新生长的空间，由此可推知，Mark Meekan对使用扬声器持肯定的态度。

答案：B
