Ⅰ.阅读理解(本题共8个小题,每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
(2024·湖北省高三调研)Don't call Madison Stewart an environmentalist.She sees herself simply as an individual taking action in defense of something she loves that's in need of protection.
Despite her youth,the 24-year-old is an undersea veteran (老手).She grew up sailing around the Great Barrier Reef on her parents' boat and spent her early life free diving while patiently waiting for the day when she could get her scuba diving (水肺潜水) certification,aged 12.Already impressed by sharks,Madison was now pleased to be able to observe them in their own world.“I got to know the sharks...I could recognize them by sight,” Madison says.“Other people had dogs around them growing up.I had sharks.”
But within a couple of years,she saw a great reduction in shark numbers on the reef.“One day I went in the water and couldn't find my sharks anywhere,sharks I'd spent my childhood with,” she says.“They'd been caught and killed.” It was a great moment for Madison.
She left school at 14 to be homeschooled so she could spend more time in the ocean.She taught herself to shoot underwater video to document sharks in their own world and share her sense of wonder with others.She launched a YouTube channel and built a huge following for her documentaries where she focuses on issues like inadequate protection for some shark species and the global shark fin (鳍) industry.
In 2014 Madison was the subject of the encouraging documentary Shark Girl,which introduced her to a global audience.In 2017 she appeared as an “Ocean Guardian” in the documentary Blue that explored a lot of threats to the world's marine environments,including the damaging effect of the global shark fishery.The film encourages viewers to get involved and includes practical steps to guide them to do so.It shows Madison's philosophy that the power of the individual to make a difference by their own direct action should never be underestimated.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海洋守护者麦迪逊为了保护鲨鱼所做的努力,她参与拍摄的纪录片也鼓励人们参与到鲨鱼保护的行动中来。

A.Many hands make light work.
B.Action speaks louder than words.
C.Together we can make a difference.

(2024·山东省滨州市高三二模)If you visited a big aquarium such as SeaWorld or the Miami Seaquarium a decade ago,performances by tiger whales were probably a centerpiece of the visiting experience. However, animal advocates have pushed to end the harmful practice of keeping these enormous whales locked up in small pools and forcing them to perform for audiences.Now the good news is emerging from this continuing movement. Lolita,one tiger whale living in the Miami Seaquarium,may soon be released to the Salish Sea where her mother lives.
Lolita's possible homecoming is a longtime coming.The enormous animal was caught in 1970 in the Salish Sea,a body of water off the coast of Washington,which is home to tiger whales.Until now she has spent the past 54 years in captivity in Miami.Her tank is considered the smallest among those of captive whales in America.She has been forced to perform for crowds for decades.This has resulted in injuries.She has hit her head while performing “fast swims”,and her blood work has been abnormal.
Whales in captivity can suffer severe health issues.Lolita outlived her tank-mate Hugo,who died of aneurism (动脉瘤) caused by hitting his head on the aquarium walls.“Lolita's lucky,”said Howard Garrett,a whale researcher and activist.“It's against all odds that she is still alive.I think it's her mental health that keeps her physical health in good shape.She is a complete miracle in her ability to stay healthy.”
According to the United States Department of Agriculture,Lolita may not be getting enough food and water.This only adds to the list of health concerns which can appear in captivity.Activists who have been pushing for decades may at last see Lolita return to the Salish Sea,where her mother,a 93-year-old tiger whale known as “Ocean Sun”,leads a pod.Returning these magnificent creatures to their natural habitat is a humane solution advocated for by the likes of the International Marine Mammal Project.
语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了在动物保护主义者的努力下,洛丽塔,一只生活在迈阿密海洋馆的虎鲸,可能很快就会被释放到她母亲生活的萨利希海。
5.Which of the following best describes Lolita?
A.She got many injuries while performing for audiences over 50 years.
B.Her blood works well though she suffers severe health problems.
C.She was caught on the beach in Miami as a result of her injuries.
D.She was switched to a bigger tank because of her mate's attack.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“Lolita's possible homecoming is a longtime coming...This has resulted in injuries.She has hit her head while performing ‘fast swims’,and her blood work has been abnormal.”可知,洛丽塔被囚禁了54年,在为观众表演时,多次受伤。
6.Why is Lolita in good physical health according to Howard Garrett?
A.Her mental state is sound.
B.Hugo influenced her positively.
C.She gets timely medical treatment.
D.Whale researchers offer necessary aids.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“‘Lolita's lucky,’ said Howard Garrett,a whale researcher and activist.‘It's against all odds that she is still alive.I think it's her mental health that keeps her physical health in good shape.She is a complete miracle in her ability to stay healthy.’”可知,霍华德·加勒认为她的心理健康使她的身体保持良好的状态。
7.What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.Activists have succeeded in accomplishing the project.
B.Lolita will definitely fit in with the pod led by her mother.
C.Joint efforts are being made to release creatures like Lolita.
D.There's little hope for Lolita to return to her natural habitat.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,人们正在共同努力释放像洛丽塔这样的生物。
8.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Lolita,the Last Tiger Whale in the World
B.Lolita,Released to the Salish Sea
C.Animals in Captivity Are Suffering a Lot
D.Lolita May Soon Go Free from Captivity
答案:D
解析:标题归纳题。根据第一段及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了洛丽塔,一只生活在迈阿密海洋馆的虎鲸,可能很快就会被释放到她母亲生活的萨利希海,所以D项“Lolita May Soon Go Free from Captivity(洛丽塔可能很快就会从囚禁中解脱出来)”是本文最好的标题。
