I,阅读理解
A
I don't think I can recall a time when I wasn't aware of the beauty of the ocean.Growing up in
Australia,I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side.The first time I went to Halfmoon
Bay,I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.
For my 10th birthday,my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef.There were fish
器
in different colors,caves and layers of coral ()They made such an impression on me.When I
learned that only one percent of Australia's Coral Sea was protected,I was shocked.Australian ma-
rine(海洋的)life is particularly important because the reefs(暗礁)have more marine species than
any other country on earth.But sadly,only 45%of the world's reefs are considered healthy.
This statistic is depressing,so it's important for us to do everything to protect them.
The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete ecosystem has led me to take action.I've become in-
volved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity,which aims to create the largest marine park in the
world.It would serve as a place where the ocean's species will all have a safe place forever.
中
Together,Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be part of the
movement.Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy,who
grew up sailing,admiring the beauty of the ocean,and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.
1.What can we learn about the author from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?
A.He seldom went sailing at the sea.
B.He forgot his experiences about the ocean.
C.He never went back to his hometown.
D.He had a wonderful impression of Halfmoon Bay.
2.What is Australian marine life like according to the second paragraph?
或
A.It is escaping from the Coral Sea gradually.
B.It depends on reefs for living greatly.
C.It may be faced with danger.
D.It is protected better than that in other oceans.
3.What is the aim of the Protect Our Coral Sea activity?
紫
A.To contribute to a complete ecosystem.
B.To prevent more marine species being endangered.
器
C.To set up a large nature reserve for reefs.
D.To raise more teenagers'environmental awareness.
4.Why do Angus and the author create a little video?
A.To ask more people to take action to protect the marine species.
B.To inspire more people to study the secret of the ocean.
C.To share their childhood experiences about the ocean.
D.To bring back to people their memory of ocean species.

Humans have made the world less friendly to birds in many ways.One obvious example of this
can be found in metal spikes ()or anti-bird spikes in buildings to prevent birds from landing
and even nesting.However,a handful of birds have struck back.
Auke-Florian Hiemstra,a biologist researching animal architecture at the Naturalis Biodiversity
Center in Leiden.Netherlands,studies how wild animals use materials made by humans.He has seen
nests that include some unusual materials-things like plastic flowers and sunglasses.But he was
surprised when seeing a picture of a magpie (nest,the top of which had anti-bird spikes.
Researchers had learned that the smart species,magpies and crows ()were stealing anti-
bird spikes as a nest-building material.The two species appeared to use the anti-bird spikes in slight-
ly different ways.For the crows,the spikes seemed purely structural,a material used to fashion a
solid foundation.But for the magpies,there was an additional layer of intention:They appeared to
use the spikes like humans do-rounded covering over their nests to keep other birds from landing.
One recent study reported that nests with man-made materials have been found all over the
world and that the man-made materials include all kinds of man-made materials,including knitting
needles,candy wrappers,spiky wires,and cigarette ends.Although magpies and crows haven't been
documented doing this,other birds have.Scientists aren't sure if birds are using artificial materials
because they're better,or simply because they're easy to find.What is noteworthy is that human-
made materials in bird nests can cause injuries.For example,anti-bird netting,often placed over gar-
den plots,is known to be dangerous for birds,which often end up being entangled in it.
For Hiemstra,while the new discoveries are fascinating,he also highlights a broader issue:the
unfortunate popularity of anti-bird spikes."It's kind of sad to keep fighting against nature instead of
accepting it as part of the city,"he said.
5.Why was Hiemstra surprised when seeing the photo of a magpie nest?
A.A magpie decorated its nest with plastic flowers.
B.Magpies and crows are as intelligent as humans.
C.Magpies and crows cooperated to build the nests.
D.The magpie nest was equipped with metal spikes.
6.How do magpies and crows differ from each other in using anti-bird spikes?
A.Crows use them for fashion.
B.Magpies use them for defence.
C.Crows use them to keep off other species.
D.Magpies use them to strengthen the nests.
7.What does the underline word "entangled"in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Discovered.
B.Frightened.
C.Released.
D.Trapped.
8.What does Hiemstra intend to do in the last Paragraph?
A.Support birds'using man-made materials.
B.Accept anti-bird spikes as part of the city.
C.Disapprove of humans'using anti-bird spikes.
D.Stress the popularity of anti-bird spikes in birds.

When most people think of Amish communities,they picture old-fashioned environments free of
modern technology.For the most part,that's true,but there are a few surprising exceptions.Many
Amish families ase solar panels to meet their modest electricity needs.
According to Electric Rate,some Amish communities adopted solar as far back as the 90's.In
addition to wind turbines on churches and barns,Amish homes may also have solar panels on the
roofs.These are connected to batteries that power electric lights,water pumps,and even the occa-
sional washing machine,refrigerator,cash register,or e-bike.Amish communities don't reject all
technology for its own sake.Instead,they consider the impact each type of technology will have on
their lifestyle and traditions.
Television doesn't have a place in the simple Amish lifestyle,and connecting to the power grid
to run multiple appliances (would threaten the community's independence and self-reli-
ance.However,electric lights are another matter,according to Electric Rate.Amish families previ-
ously used kerosene (lamps to light their homes.These created major safety issues,like
heightened fire risk and harmful smoke.
Solar panels and LED lights were the perfect solutions,Electric Rate says.They're self-con-
tained,so Amish communities don't have to pay a monthly bill.They don't even have to add wiring
to the whole house.Just one or two panels are enough for a whole home since they don't have many
electric appliances.The lights themselves are reliable,efficient,long-lasting,affordable,and safe.
Even better,solar technology is getting cheaper all the time.Ongoing breakthroughs in solar
panel design have made them easier to manufacture and more efficient to use,opening up this possi-
bility for even more families.Solar panels are also gentle on the planet.Unlike burning kerosene,so-
lar doesn't produce air pollution that traps heat in our atmosphere.The more households,busines-
ses,and governments adopt solar,the more we cool down the planet.
9.What is the popular view of Amish communities?
A.They enjoy free modern facilities.
B.They like old-fashioned pictures.
C.They live an out-of-date lifestyle.
D.They have no access to electricity.
10.What is the major concern when Amish communities decide which technology to adopt?
A.The effect on the way they live.
B.The difficulty level of using it.
C.The energy efficiency.
D.The cost effectiveness.
11.What does the underlined part "the power grid"in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.A set of batteries used to store energy.
B.A device showing television programs.
C.A piece of equipment used to measure power.
D.A network generating and distributing electricity.
12.What is the benefit of Amish families using solar panels?
A.It helps to pay their monthly bills.
B.It contributes to decreasing air pollution.
C.It reduces their consumption of electricity.
D.It allows them to run many electric appliances.
