Now, conservationists are using a similar method to tackle the illegal overfishing of sharks and rays. Overfishing is when too many of a particular type of fish are caught, putting that species in danger. Many sharks and rays are killed because of a high demand—and a high price—for their fins（鱼鳍）. In some countries, the fins are used as an ingredient in shark fin soup, which some people believe can cure certain illnesses. About 100 species of sharks and rays are protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora（CITES）, an agreement between 184 countries to limit sales of wildlife that may be at risk of dying out. CITES has teams of people who visit ports and fish factories to look for evidence of protected species being illegally caught and sold. The idea is to punish those responsible and stop it from happening, but finding evidence is difficult. If a fish is already cut up and ready for sale, it’s hard to tell which species it is. Often, fish are sold before inspectors arrive. 刷阅读理解 19 Scientists have come up with a process that analyses “fish dust”—tiny traces of fish that get left on the floor at ports and factories, even after the fish are no longer there. Using a process called metabarcoding（元条形码技术）, they examine the chemical that carries all the information about a living thing’s body and characteristics in the dust and can tell if it is from a protected species. The scientists tested the method in Indonesia, where many sharks and rays are caught and sold. They studied dust from seven sites and found evidence of 61 species of sharks and rays. More than 80% of them were CITES-protected species. Dr Andhika Prasetyo, the scientist who led the research, hopes the new method will be helpful in protecting endangered sea life. 刷阅读理解 20 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为解决非法过度捕捞鲨鱼和鳐鱼问题的一种新方法。 1.Why is dusting crime scenes mentioned in Paragraph 1?( ) C A.To discuss overfishing in a broader context. B.To introduce the initial purpose of the passage. C.To bring forth something new with the familiar. D.To show the difference between two professions. 解析 推理判断题。第一段提到在犯罪现场撒粉去提取指纹的方式是我们大众所熟知的，接着引出文章的主旨：自然环境保护主义者正在使用类似的方法来解决非法过度捕捞鲨鱼和鳐鱼的问题。因此提到在犯罪现场撒粉是为了从一项人们熟悉的事引出另一个新事物。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 21 2.What is Paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?( ) B A.The risk in saving wildlife and the opportunity to seize. B.The mission of CITES and the trouble inspectors confront. C.The number of endangered species and the way to save them. D.The agreement made by countries and the responsibility each carries. 解析 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的to limit sales of wildlife that may be at risk of dying out和The idea is to punish those responsible and stop it from happening, but finding evidence is difficult. If a fish is already cut up and ready for sale, it’s hard to tell which species it is. Often, fish are sold before inspectors arrive.可知，本段主要介绍了CITES的目的以及目前所遭遇的困难，所以B项（CITES的任务和检查员面临的困难）能够概括本段主旨。 刷阅读理解 22 3.How does the metabarcoding process work?( ) D A.It scans the body of a fish to confirm its killer. B.It guides the investigators to the remains of a fish. C.It turns a fish into the dust and test its characteristics. D.It identifies a fish by studying the chemical in the dust. 解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的Using a process called metabarcoding, they examine the chemical that carries all the information about a living thing’s body and characteristics in the dust and can tell if it is from a protected species.可知，该过程主要是检查粉尘中的化学物质以识别其是否属于受保护物种。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 23 4.What does the test in Indonesia indicate?( ) C A.The evidence collected belongs to over 61 species. B.Scientists in Indonesia will carry out further studies. C.The dusting method is promising in protecting sea life. D.More than 80% of sharks and rays have been in danger. 解析 推理判断题。最后一段提到，科学家们研究了七个地点的粉尘，发现了61种鲨鱼和鳐鱼被过度捕捞和售卖的证据，其中80%以上为CITES上的保护物种。领导这项研究的科学家安迪卡·普拉塞蒂欧博士希望这种新方法将有助于保护濒临灭绝的海洋生物。由此可知，在印尼的实验证实了这一方法能够检测到保护物种，安迪卡·普拉塞蒂欧博士也希望这种方法能够有助于保护濒临灭绝的海洋生物，所以这种新方法在保护海洋生物方面是有前景的。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 24 长难句分析 句意：大约有100种鲨鱼和鳐鱼受到《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》（CITES）的保护，该公约由184个国家签署，旨在限制可能濒临灭绝的野生动物的售卖。 刷阅读理解 25 B [河北石家庄二中2024开学考] Parks are the beating hearts of cities, providing crucial environments for wildlife of many sizes as well as areas of rest and recreation for local citizens. Accessible via public transport, and located near a university, a stadium and the National Library, Warsaw’s Pole Mokotowskie Park provides green space for many people. One of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s five pathways to transformative change for water management is to restore species population, ecosystems and the benefits that nature provides to people by using each city’s advantage. As more urban centres seek new ways to unite greenery into the built environment, projects of all sizes and stages add to essential corridors and stopping points for a range of wildlife. 刷阅读理解 26 Tasked with improving Pole Mokotowskie Park’s natural sustainability, architecture company WXCA looked at ways of enhancing the elements that were already in place to better support wildlife. One of the most visible means was the removal of thousands of square metres of concrete（混凝土）. Removing concrete in and around ponds and other waterways allows the city’s features to shape themselves naturally, in reaction to both the surrounding environment and the weather. Doing so supports biodiversity by removing artificial constraints and flows. More than 13,000 square metres of concrete has already been removed, with more removal planned over the next year. For the human users of the park, the designers created education, activity, and art spaces. The Grand Salon, a meadow（草地）surrounded by trees, is for large public gatherings, and a handful of pavilions（亭）spread throughout the space provide visible means of monitoring the quality of the air and water. They also contribute to the park’s ecosystem through rainwater harvesting. As the temperature consistently rises, city planners are using the leaves and branches of the plants and mixed-use designs to reduce heat islands, improve air quality and prevent urban run-off. 刷阅读理解 27 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了公园是城市的灵魂，为野生动物提供了重要的环境，也为当地居民提供了休息和娱乐的场所。文章以华沙的波雷默柯托威斯基公园为例，说明了公园对生态起到的积极作用。 1.What do we know about Warsaw’s Pole Mokotowskie Park?( ) B A.It creates a new way to the city centre. B.It serves different community groups. C.It shows the locals are living happily. D.It reminds the public to protect the environment. 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的Accessible via public transport, and located near a university, a stadium and the National Library, Warsaw’s Pole Mokotowskie Park provides green space for many people.可知，华沙的波雷默柯托威斯基公园临近居民区、大学、体育场和国家图书馆，可以为人们提供休闲和娱乐的场所，即该公园服务于不同的社区群体。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 28 2.What are the projects in Paragraph 2 intended for?( ) D A.Providing stages to show off creativity. B.Taking advantage of the city’s resources. C.Encouraging people to get close to nature. D.Supplying various wildlife with species more room. 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的As more urban centres seek new ways to unite greenery into the built environment, projects of all sizes and stages add to essential corridors and stopping points for a range of wildlife.可知，随着越来越多的城市中心寻求将绿色植物融入建筑环境的新方法，各种规模和处于各种阶段的项目都为一系列野生动物增加了必要的走廊和停留点，由此可知，这些项目的目的是为各种野生动物提供更多的城市空间。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 29 3.What does the underlined word “constraints” in Paragraph 3 mean?( ) A A.Limits. B.Factors. C.Methods. D.Damage. 解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句之前的内容可知，为了给野生动物提供更好的环境，一项主要举措是清除池塘和其他水道内外的混凝土，让自然的力量重塑环境。结合常识可知，这里指的是清除人为规划的水道，即此处提到的artificial constraints and flows指人为对水道的限制。constraint与limit意思相近。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 30 4.How do the pavilions help the ecosystem?( ) B A.By offering some shelters. B.By collecting rainwater. C.By monitoring the water flow. D.By reducing high temperature. 解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的They also contribute to the park’s ecosystem through rainwater harvesting.可知，亭子通过收集雨水帮助生态系统。故选B项。 【关键点拨】在语境中理解熟词的生义 此处解题的关键是理解harvest的用法。harvest表示“收获；收割”，在这里引申为“收集；贮藏”，选项中用了collecting来进行同义替换。 刷阅读理解 31 长难句分析 句意：世界自然保护联盟提出的水管理变革的五大行动计划之一是利用每个城市的优势，恢复物种数量、生态系统和自然给人类带来的好处。 刷阅读理解 32 核心词汇 1.accessible adj.易到达的；易进入的；易得到的 2.unite vi. & vt.（使）联合；（使）团结 3.sustainability n.可持续性 4.in reaction to… 应对……；对……作出反应 刷阅读理解 33 [辽宁大连二十四中2023高二期中] There once was an ordinary street in the suburbs where no one cared much for their gardens.
