限时规范练(三十四)　UNIT 3　SEA EXPLORATION (限时30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·广东信宜高三摸底考试)Oyster is pleased to offer sea conservation volunteers the opportunity to take part in a 3­day diving course in South Africa. What qualification will I receive? ·Upon successful completion of the e­learning and the practical course，you will receive a NAUI (National Association of Underwater Instructors) diving qualification. What are the requirements? ·You will need to be staying for a minimum period of 2 weeks on the shark volunteering project. (It's highly recommended that you join for 4 weeks，so that you can throw yourself into the volunteer project and allow for bad weather.) ·Completion of a medical evaluation form before taking part in the course. How does it work? ·Before arrival in South Africa，you will start an e­learning course. ·The e­learning course takes about 14 hours to complete. ·Once in South Africa，you will receive 17 hours of practical instruction，of which 10 hours are spent in the water. ·You will not have a set date for your diving course before departure，as this is dependent on weather. How much does it cost? Learning to dive in South Africa as part of the sea conservation volunteering project will cost just $350. Payment must be made in advance to secure your place. How do I book? In person：The Volunteer Office is open on weekdays between 10 a．m. and 8 p．m. By telephone：Dial (323) 641­7416 to reserve. The line is available from 1 p．m. to 6 p．m.

Known as OceanOneK，the robot allows its operators to feel like they're underwater explorers，too. OceanOneK resembles (像) a human diver from the front，with arms，hands and eyes that capture the underwater world in full color. The back of the robot has computers and eight multidirectional thrusters (推进器) that help it carefully explore the sites of fragile shipwrecks. When an operator at the ocean's surface uses controls to direct OceanOneK，the robot's touch­based feedback system causes the person to feel the water's resistance. The idea for OceanOneK came from a desire to study coral reefs in the Red Sea at depths beyond the normal range for divers. While OceanOneK was designed to reach maximum depths of 656 feet，researchers had a new goal：1 kilometer，hence the new name for OceanOneK.The researchers changed the robot's body by using special foam to increase buoyancy (浮力) and fight the pressures of 1，000 meters more than 100 times what humans experience at sea level. OceanOneK also got two new types of hands and increased arm and head motion. During OceanOneK's deep dive in February，team members discovered the robot couldn't rise when they stopped for a thruster check. Flotations on the communications and power line had collapsed，causing the line to pile on the top of the robot. OceanOneK's descent was a success. It dropped off a memorial marker on the seabed that reads.“A robot's first touch of the deep seafloor—A vast new world for humans to explore.” Khatib，a professor，called the experience an “incredible journey”．“This is the first time that a robot has been capable of going to such a depth，interacting with the environment，and permitting the human operator to feel that environment，” he said. 4．What can we learn about OceanOneK? A．Its eyes are colorful. B．It functions automatically. C．It looks like its operator from the front. D．It is remotely controlled to explore underwater. 5．How does the author develop the third paragraph? A．By listing data. B．By raising questions. C．By reasoning and analyzing. D．By presenting an argument. 6．What does the underlined word “descent” mean in the last paragraph? A．Successful operation. B．Deep diving. C．Pressure resistance. D．Flexible exploration. 7．What is a suitable title for the text? A．A Creative Explorer B．The Ambitious Exploration C．A Self­driven Seeker—A Robot D．A Deep­Sea Explorer—OceanOneK 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款深海探测机器人OceanOneK。 4．D　[解析]细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知，OceanOneK是被人远程控制的，可以在水下探险。故选D。 5．A　[解析]推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“656 feet”“1 kilometer”“1，000 meters”“100 times” 等数据可知，本段通过列数据来介绍OceanOnek。故选A。 6．B　[解析]词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段画线词后文A robot's first touch of the deep seafloor以及This is the first time that a robot has been capable of going to such a depth提到的“第一次触摸深海”“这是机器人第一次能够到达这样的深度”等信息可知，机器人OceanOneK成功潜入深海，descent与deep diving“深潜”意思接近。故选B。 7．D　[解析]标题概括题。通读全文尤其是根据文章第一段可知，本文介绍了一款能进行深海探险的机器人OceanOneK。D项“深海探险家——OceanOneK”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 Ⅱ.七选五阅读 Coral reefs are the rainforests of the ocean. They exist on vast scales and are equally important havens of biodiversity. Reefs occupy 0.1% of the oceans.1.______ Corals are useful to people. Without the protection which reefs afford from crashing waves，low­lying islands such as the Maldives would have flooded long ago，and a billion people would lose food or income. However，reefs are under threat from rising sea temperatures. Heat causes the algae (海藻) with which corals are living together to generate toxins (毒素) that force those corals to leave.2.______ Research groups around the world are coming up with plans of action to see if that will help，such as identifying naturally heat­resistant corals and cross­breeding such corals to create a new type.3.______ Without carbon reduction and decline in local，coral­killing pollution，even resistant corals will not survive the century. Doubters doubt humanity will get its act together in time to make much difference. 4．______ Carbon targets are being set and ocean pollution is being dealt with. Countries that share responsibilities for reefs are starting to act together. Scientific workarounds can also be found. Natural currents can be applied to facilitate mass breeding. Sites of the greatest ecological and economical importance can be identified to maximize bang for buck. 5．______ It could serve as a blueprint for other ecosystems. Hard­core greens—those who think that all habitats should be kept unspoiled—may not approve. But when entire ecosystems are facing destruction，the cost of doing nothing is too great to bear. A．This can cause a coral's death. B．But there are grounds for optimism. C．And they host a quarter of marine species. D．Coral's global ecosystem services are worth up to $10 trn a year. E．This mix of natural activity and human intervention is important. F．This research can also be brought to bear on trying to save entire ecosystems. G．However，the assisted evolution of corals does not meet with universal enthusiasm. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。珊瑚礁对海洋生态系统和人类至关重要，但是珊瑚礁正受到海水温度上升的威胁。研究人员正在采用自然活动和人为干预相结合的措施保护珊瑚礁。 1．C　[解析]根据前文“Coral reefs are the rainforests of the ocean. They exist on vast scales and are equally important havens of biodiversity.”可知，此处是讲珊瑚礁是海洋生物多样性的重要避风港。所以选项C“珊瑚礁是四分之一海洋物种的家园。”切合文意。故选C。 2．A　[解析]根据前文“Heat causes the algae with which corals are living together to generate toxins that force those corals to leave.”可知，热量导致与珊瑚共同生活的藻类产生毒素，迫使珊瑚离开。所以选项A“这会导致珊瑚死亡。”切合文意。故选A。 3．G　[解析]根据前文“Research groups around the world are coming up with plans of action to see if that will help ...such corals to create a new type.”和后文“Without carbon reduction and decline in local，coral­killing pollution，even resistant corals will not survive the century.”可知，此处是指珊瑚的辅助进化并没有受到普遍的支持。所以选项G“然而，珊瑚的辅助进化并没有受到普遍的支持。”切合文意。故选G。 4．B　[解析]根据后文“Carbon targets are being set and ocean pollution is being dealt with. Countries that share responsibilities for reefs are starting to act together.”可知，此处是指一些国家纷纷行动起来保护珊瑚礁。所以选项B“但我们有理由感到乐观。”切合文意。故选B。 5．E　[解析]根据前文“Carbon targets are being set and ocean pollution is being dealt with. Countries that share responsibilities for reefs ...the greatest ecological and economical importance can be identified to maximize bang for buck.”及后文“It could serve as a blueprint for other ecosystems.”可知，此处是指这种自然活动和人为干预的结合很有效。空后的It指代E项中的This mix of natural activity and human intervention。所以选项E“这种自然活动和人为干预的结合很重要。”切合文意。故选E。 Ⅲ.语法填空 To protect the ocean and prevent plastic waste polluting the water，an Italian company has invented River Cleaning，1.__________ seems to be a perfect tool for picking up litter before it gets there. About 80 percent of ocean waste comes from 100 of the 2.__________ (large) waterways across the world. So，stopping waste at its source is 3.__________ excellent potential solution.
