The narrow island is a small piece of land separating the American state of Louisiana from the Gulf of Mexico. During the seabird breeding（繁殖） season, the place, one of the few remaining places of safety for the pelicans, is full of noise. Twelve years ago, there were 15 low-lying islands with breeding areas for Louisiana’s state bird. However, today, only about six islands in southeastern Louisiana have brown pelican nests and the rest have disappeared underwater. Slaton and other scientists set up cameras to observe pelican nests on the island. The cameras show that in recent years the pelicans have faced some natural disasters. The main killer of them is flooding, which can wash away all the nests, as happened in April 2021. 刷阅读理解 7 The disappearing islands are the location of a story of successful conservation. For many years, scientists have worked to bring the pelicans back from totally dying off.Mike Carloss is a state wildlife biologist in Louisiana. He said he never saw brown pelicans as a child in the 1960s. Their populations had been killed by the use of DDT, a kind of farm chemical. It thinned eggshells and prevented pelicans from giving birth to young birds. The beloved birds were completely gone from Louisiana, only appearing on the state flag. But a long-running effort to save them led to the birds’ return. After DDT was stopped in the US in 1972, biologists brought young pelicans from nearby Florida to let them inhabit empty islands across the Gulf of Mexico again. More than 1,200 pelicans have been set free in southeastern Louisiana over 13 years. The brown pelicans can live more than 20 years. So, the final effect of disappearing breeding areas is uncertain and it will still take time to become clear. And the future for pelicans is uncertain on the islands. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们多年来一直在努力让鹈鹕免于灭绝。 刷阅读理解 8 1.What is a killer of brown pelicans?( ) D A.The island movement. B.The underwater noise. C.The increase of human population. D.The disappearance of breeding areas. 解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的The main killer of them is flooding, which can wash away all the nests可知，褐鹈鹕面临的主要威胁是洪水等自然灾害，洪水会冲走它们的巢穴，淹没近海平面的岛屿，因为栖息地的消失，褐鹈鹕的生存面临威胁。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 9 2.Why did the scientists set up cameras?( ) B A.To stop illegal hunting. B.To watch pelicans’ home. C.To predict serious flooding. D.To record the number of pelicans. 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Slaton and other scientists set up cameras to observe pelican nests on the island.可知，他们的目的是观察岛上的鹈鹕巢穴。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 10 3.What does the underlined word “inhabit” in paragraph 3 mean?( ) A A.Live on. B.Focus on. C.Break into. D.Look into. 解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文可知，生物学家们经过不懈努力将幼鸟带回了岛上。根据本段中的the birds’ return、brought、empty islands并结合上下文内容可推测，此处指生物学家将幼鸟带回岛上后，让这些幼鸟在岛上栖居。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 11 4.How does the author feel about the pelicans’ future?( ) B A.Unconcerned. B.Doubtful. C.Curious. D.Proud. 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的So, the final effect of disappearing breeding areas is uncertain and it will still take time to become clear.And the future for pelicans is uncertain on the islands.可知，栖息地的消失带来的最终影响是不确定的，还需要长期的观察，而这些被重新带回岛上的褐鹈鹕在未来的状况也是未知的，由此可推知，作者认为情况是不确定的，故作者对鹈鹕的未来持怀疑态度。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 12 核心词汇 1.separate vt. & vi.（使）分离；（使）分开 2.remaining adj.剩余的；留下的；其余的 3.die off 相继死去，先后死去 4.give birth to 生下；产生；引起 刷阅读理解 13 [山东青岛2024高一期中] Thanks to Earth, we have fresh air to breathe, clean water to drink and warm sunshine to enjoy. But it seems that we may have taken these things for granted and not realised that our planet is getting “sick”.1. . More than 15,000 researchers around the world have written a letter to warn about environmental threats. Among those environmental challenges, global warming sits at the top. Global average temperatures have risen by more than 0.5<m></m> since 1992.2. . It means that heat waves would last around a third longer and rainstorms would be about a third more intense （猛烈的） if we take no action. The increase in sea levels would also be much higher. Countries like Singapore and Japan that are at low altitudes may be covered by the ocean in the future. 3. . It’s getting harder to get fresh water. Ocean pollution has become serious. Since 1992, the human population has grown by 2 billion, while the populations of all other animals have dropped by nearly 30 percent. B A C 刷7选5 14 Scientists say that we are experiencing the sixth mass extinction in history. More than two-thirds of the world’s wildlife could be gone by the end of the decade if action isn’t taken soon.4. . However, we have made some progress.That’s because we gradually stopped using chemicals that can break down ozone, a gas that protects Earth.5. . A.The change is a big deal. B.Now, scientists have given us a warning. C.But this is not the only problem people are facing. D.We can make a bigger difference when we act right now. E.Scientists also conclude that global warming will continue for centuries. F.Some rare animals, like black rhinos, might just appear in pictures soon. G.All the countries in the world should take action on behalf of future generations. F D 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要呼吁人们重视地球环境问题，包括全球变暖、生物灭绝、水污染等。 刷7选5 15 1.___ B 解析 设空处前But it seems that we may have taken these things for granted and not realised that our planet is getting “sick”.提到我们没有意识到地球正在“生病”，设空处后More than 15,000 researchers around the world have written a letter to warn about environmental threats.指出研究人员联名致信，就环境威胁发出警告，结合选项可知，B项（现在科学家已经向我们发出警告）承上启下，选项中的warning与后文的warn相呼应。 2.___ A 解析 根据设空处前Global average temperatures have risen by more than 0.5<m></m> since 1992.可知，此处强调的是全球平均气温的变化。再根据下文及其中关键词longer、more intense、much higher表明的一系列严重后果可知，A项（这种变化是一件大事）承接上文，其中的The change与前文的“气温变化”相呼应，同时引起下文内容，符合语境。 刷7选5 16 方法总结 7选5解题法之“瞻前顾后”法 做七选五时，我们一般采取“瞻前顾后”的原则，即观察上下文是否有相同或相似的词、短语或话题，是否存在因果、对比、递进等逻辑关系，是否存在代词的指代等。如：本题A项中的The change与前文的“气温变化”相呼应。 刷7选5 17 3.___ C 解析 根据前文的Countries like Singapore and Japan that are at low altitudes may be covered by the ocean in the future.以及空后的It’s getting harder to get fresh water. Ocean pollution has become serious.可知，此处讲述了人类面临的另一个环境挑战，即海洋污染变得严重，淡水越来越难以获得。设空处位于段首，C项（但这并不是人们面临的唯一问题）符合语境，引出了下文内容。 4.___ F 解析 根据前文的More than two-thirds of the world’s wildlife could be gone by the end of the decade if action isn’t taken soon.可知，如果不尽快采取行动，全球超过三分之二的野生动物可能会消失。F项（一些稀有动物，如黑犀牛，很快可能只会在照片中出现）承接前文，说明黑犀牛可能会受到环境影响，即将消失，might just appear in pictures呼应上文中的extinction和could be gone。 刷7选5 18 5.___ D 解析 根据前文However, we have made some progress.That’s because we gradually stopped using chemicals that can break down ozone, a gas that protects Earth.可知，人类在环境保护方面已经取得了一些进展。D项（如果我们立刻采取行动，我们就能产生更大的影响）承接前文，表明如果人类现在采取行动，就能产生更多积极的影响。 刷7选5 19 核心词汇 1.drop by… 减少了…… 2.extinction n.灭绝，绝种 3.make progress 取得进步 刷7选5 20 $$
