课时跟踪检测(九) [对应学生用书P154] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Say the phrase“female environmental pioneers”，and among the names you will hear Rachel Carson，who wrote about pesticides；chimpanzee expert Jane Goodall；and 17­year­old climate­change activist Greta Thunberg.To mark Women's History Month，Kidspost is sharing the story of an environmental pioneer who is not that famous but equally remarkable. At age 3，Sylvia Earle found her lifelong passion while playing on a beach.A wave suddenly came up and knocked her over. “My mother...saw the big smile on my face and let me run back in，”Earle told a TV interviewer years later.“And I've been running back in ever since.” Earle is now 84 years old and has spent a lifetime exploring the world's oceans and working to protect them from pollution，overfishing and other threats. She is a pioneer in using scuba gear.Scuba gear lets divers take breath underwater.She holds the world record for the deepest untethered walk on the ocean floor at 1，250 feet.This means she was not tied to anything when she was walking underwater.During this exploration，she planted a U．S.flag. In 1998，Time magazine gave Earle its first Heroes for the Planet award.She was the first female chief scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).It is the U.S.ocean and atmosphere group.She was also elected to the National Women's Hall of Fame. Earle has spent her life teaching people about the ocean.She notes how much it affects the weather，and what we eat and drink.She has something to say to those who don't understand why the ocean matters.“They should know that with every breath they take，every drop of water they drink，the ocean is touching them，”Earle says.“You should treat the ocean as if your life depends on it—because it does.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了一位一生都致力于探索海洋保护海洋的女性环保先锋——Sylvia Earle，三岁时就发现了自己对于海洋的热爱，并在保护海洋方面做出了杰出贡献和成就。1998年，《时代》杂志给了Earle第一个行星英雄奖。她是美国国家海洋和大气管理局(NOAA)的第一位女性首席科学家。她还入选了全国妇女名人堂。同时，她提出了海洋对于人类的重要性。 1．What does Earle's lifelong passion refer
