This seems unbelievable. It is reported that scientists have discovered that coral reefs are even more effective than man-made sea walls under the water. However, coral reefs are especially easy to be influenced by climate change. Overfishing and pollution have also proved very dangerous to them. Since 1950, half of the world’s coral reefs have already been lost. To protect our communities and keep sea ecosystems alive, we need to protect coral reefs right away. Let’s take a closer look at how coral reefs protect us from floods, and how scientists are 1restoring (修复) reefs. The roles that coral reefs play as underwater walls have long been recorded by scientists. During a Category 3 hurricane in 2015 in Australia, the coral reefs effectively protected the eastern shoreline from flooding. In contrast, the western coasts without coral reefs suffered serious damage. The researchers observed that the shape of coral reefs can break the approaching waves. More recently, researchers at the University of Miami have reached the same conclusion. They used a special lab simulator (模拟装置) to recreate ocean conditions during a Category 5 hurricane. They found that coral reefs could reduce the impact of waves by up to 95 percent! Because of higher ocean acidity (酸性) and temperature, coral reefs are disappearing and dying out. At the same time, climate change puts weakened coral reefs under more stress. The University of Miami researchers are testing to plant new coral reefs while others are actively looking for effective methods to reduce the acidity of sea water. The governments have also paid more attention to these actions and provided enough money for reef restoration. With these efforts, we may address climate threats to coral reefs and they can carry on protecting our communities. 8. What can we know about coral reefs? A. They can reduce hurricanes. B. They are faced with danger now. C. They can’t effectively prevent floods. D. They aren’t influenced by overfishing. 9. Which of the following is true according to paragraph 3? A. A terrible hurricane attacked Australia in 2015. B. Scientists paid little attention to coral reefs before. C. Coral reefs could reduce the impact of waves to 95%. D. The eastern coasts of Australia were damaged seriously. 10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of coral reefs? A. Doubtful. B. Confused. C. Positive. D. Objective. 11. What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To introduce the growth of coral reefs. B. To explain the functions of coral reefs. C. To encourage people to plant more coral reefs. D. To stress the importance of protecting coral reefs. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了珊瑚礁在保护沿海社区免受飓风影响方面的重要性，以及科学家如何修复珊瑚礁。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, coral reefs are especially easy to be influenced by climate change. Overfishing and pollution have also proved very dangerous to them. Since 1950, half of the world’s coral reefs have already been lost. (然而，珊瑚礁特别容易受到气候变化的影响。过度捕捞和污染也被证明对它们非常危险。自1950年以来，世界上一半的珊瑚礁已经消失)”可知，目前珊瑚礁面临着消失的危险。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“During a Category 3 hurricane in 2015 in Australia, the coral reefs effectively protected the eastern shoreline from flooding. (2015年澳大利亚遭遇3级飓风时，珊瑚礁有效地保护了东部海岸线免受洪水侵袭)”可知，2015年，一场可怕的飓风袭击了澳大利亚。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The University of Miami researchers are testing to plant new coral reefs while others are actively looking for effective methods to reduce the acidity of sea water. The governments have also paid more attention to these actions and provided enough money for reef restoration. With these efforts, we may address climate threats to coral reefs and they can carry on protecting our communities. (迈阿密大学的研究人员正在试验种植新的珊瑚礁，而其他人则在积极寻找降低海水酸度的有效方法。政府也对这些行动给予了更多的关注，并为珊瑚礁的恢复提供了足够的资金。通过这些努力，我们可以应对气候对珊瑚礁的威胁，珊瑚礁也可以继续保护我们的社区)”可知，在各方努力下，未来珊瑚礁可以应对潜在威胁，有更多的珊瑚礁可以出现，故作者对未来珊瑚礁的态度是积极的。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“To protect our communities and keep sea ecosystems alive, we need to protect coral reefs right away. (为了保护我们的社区，保持海洋生态系统的活力，我们需要立即保护珊瑚礁)”可知，作者写这篇文章强调了珊瑚礁对人类生活环境的重要性，呼吁人们保护珊瑚礁也是保护我们自己的家园。故选D项。 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Set Goals Whether you have small dreams or high expectations, setting goals allows you to plan how you want to move through life.____12____ Find out your life goals.

B On April 18—the International Day for Monuments and Sites, China Daily’s digital employee Yuanxi and Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes’ official virtual cartoon figure Jiayao together introduced an interactive digital platform (平台) that hosts a virtual copy of the Mogao Grottoes’ Library Cave (藏经洞) to the world. The platform was developed jointly by the Dunhuang Academy and the Chinese tech firm Tencent. It uses gaming technologies to show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital world. The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, with more than 60,000 cultural relics dating from the 4th century to the 11th century unearthed. It was one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the 20th century. On the platform, visitors can role-play and “time travel” to ancient dynasties and talk with eight historical figures: The public can enter the platform through the Digital Dunhuang website and its WeChat mini program. In the digital age, the model of “culture+ technology” has been introduced to facilitate the development of Chinese culture. The digitalization rate of China’s precious cultural relics is now over 70 percent, according to the 2022 China Digital Collection Industry Research Report released by iResearch. Institutions such as the Palace Museum have also started online digital services of their own. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology allows the public to view the interior of the buildings through the Palace Museum’s WeChat mini program. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has also encouraged the development and transformation of cultural intellectual property (知识产权) by digital means. China Central Television has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the Dunhuang divine deer (神鹿) Youyou. It was created based on the image of the nine-colored deer from Dunhuang murals (壁画). The public can see the divine deer on CCTV’s own digital platform. 4.

This seems unbelievable. It is reported that scientists have discovered that coral reefs are even more effective than man-made sea walls under the water. However, coral reefs are especially easy to be influenced by climate change. Overfishing and pollution have also proved very dangerous to them. Since 1950, half of the world’s coral reefs have already been lost. To protect our communities and keep sea ecosystems alive, we need to protect coral reefs right away. Let’s take a closer look at how coral reefs protect us from floods, and how scientists are 1restoring (修复) reefs. The roles that coral reefs play as underwater walls have long been recorded by scientists. During a Category 3 hurricane in 2015 in Australia, the coral reefs effectively protected the eastern shoreline from flooding. In contrast, the western coasts without coral reefs suffered serious damage. The researchers observed that the shape of coral reefs can break the approaching waves. More recently, researchers at the University of Miami have reached the same conclusion. They used a special lab simulator (模拟装置) to recreate ocean conditions during a Category 5 hurricane. They found that coral reefs could reduce the impact of waves by up to 95 percent! Because of higher ocean acidity (酸性) and temperature, coral reefs are disappearing and dying out. At the same time, climate change puts weakened coral reefs under more stress. The University of Miami researchers are testing to plant new coral reefs while others are actively looking for effective methods to reduce the acidity of sea water. The governments have also paid more attention to these actions and provided enough money for reef restoration. With these efforts, we may address climate threats to coral reefs and they can carry on protecting our communities. 8. What can we know about coral reefs? A. They can reduce hurricanes. B. They are faced with danger now. C. They can’t effectively prevent floods. D. They aren’t influenced by overfishing. 9. Which of the following is true according to paragraph 3? A. A terrible hurricane attacked Australia in 2015. B. Scientists paid little attention to coral reefs before. C. Coral reefs could reduce the impact of waves to 95%. D. The eastern coasts of Australia were damaged seriously. 10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of coral reefs? A. Doubtful. B. Confused. C. Positive. D. Objective. 11. What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To introduce the growth of coral reefs. B. To explain the functions of coral reefs. C. To encourage people to plant more coral reefs. D. To stress the importance of protecting coral reefs. 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Set Goals Whether you have small dreams or high expectations, setting goals allows you to plan how you want to move through life.____12____ Find out your life goals.
