高三英语培优外刊阅读 班级：____________学号：____________姓名：____________ 外刊精选｜“臭虫危机”席卷法国，巴黎恐变“叮咬之城” 法国近来陷入了一场“臭虫危机”，人们在火车、地铁、电影院等公共场所遭臭虫叮咬的新闻和视频在网上快速传播，甚至巴黎时装周都能看到臭虫的身影，已有7所学校因为闹臭虫而被迫关闭。臭虫又名床虫、床虱，主要以人类血液为食，常在夜间活动。法国的“臭虫危机”到底有多严重？为什么一度被消灭的臭虫如今又“死灰复燃”？ City of Light or City of Bites? France Tries to Ease Bedbug Anxiety. In France's lower house of Parliament, a top opposition lawmaker held up a small vial for all her colleagues to see. Its contents, she warned in a fiery speech this week, were "spreading despair" around the country. In it — probably dead and undoubtedly oblivious to the fact that they are now France's hottest topic — were some bedbugs. After a string of viral posts on social media purporting to show specimens crawling across the seats of trains, cinemas and subways, photos of bedbugs are now being splashed across newspaper pages. And the insects have been discussed endlessly on television talk shows around the country in recent days, fueling nationwide anxiety, if not alarm, especially in the French capital. While evidence that bedbugs are suddenly sweeping the country is mostly anecdotal, experts say that the pests have resurged in households in Paris, New York and other cities over the past decades because of a boom in international travel and the bugs' growing resistance to pesticides after they had been nearly eradicated in the mid-20th century. Johanna Fite, an expert with the government health agency, said that the number of infestations had increased since the 2000s as globalization has sent tourists and travelers crisscrossing continents with bedbugs in tow. Bedbugs, she stressed, are not a sign of bad hygiene, and while they are an ordeal that can disturb sleep and induce severe anxiety, they do not transmit diseases. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.ease (v.) ________________________________________ 2.anxiety (n.) ________________________________________ 3.fiery (adj.) ________________________________________ 4.anecdotal (adj.) ________________________________________ 5.eradicate (v.) ________________________________________ 6.crisscross (v.) ________________________________________ 7.ordeal (n.) ________________________________________ 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 1.________________________________________ 忽略了……的事实 2.________________________________________声称，意在 3.________________________________________加剧焦虑 4.________________________________________ 席卷全国 拓展练习阅读理解 “Renewable energy development is a critically important component of the transition away from fossil fuels, making our air cleaner. However, bird death has become an unintended consequence of renewable energy development,” said Hannah Vander Zanden, an assistant professor of biology at the University of Florida. Birds can be killed when they hit wind turbines (涡轮机) , fly into solar panels they mistake for bodies of water or get burned by the intense heat from concentrating solar power plants. “While the death rate of birds due to these energy facilities is far lower than deaths due to domestic cats and crashes with buildings, efforts to deal with this new problem are important,” scientists said. Vander Zanden and her colleagues performed geospatial (地理空间的) analyses of stable data obtained from feathers of 871 individual birds found dead at these renewable energy facilities in California, which represented 24 species. Results from the study show that the birds killed at the facilities were from a broad area across the continent. Their geographical origins varied among species and included a mix of local and nonlocal birds. Researchers found most birds killed at solar facilities were nonlocal and peaked during the migratory periods of April and September through October. The percentage of the migratory birds found at wind facilities nearly matched that of local birds, at 51%. “The data can help inform us about the best strategies to use to minimize the deaths,” Vander Zanden said. “For example, facilities management could work with conservationists to improve the local habitat to help protect local birds or improve other parts of the species’ range where the migratory birds originate.” The results also illustrate: the power of stable data to assess future population growth or decline patterns for birds due to a variety of reasons. “Studying the remains of animals like what we did is a noninvasive approach to get information that is otherwise hard to track and apply to conservation,” Vander Zanden said. “It’s a great way to understand the mysteries about animals.” 33．What is the new threat to birds according to Vander Zanden? A．The high- rise buildings. B．The loss of natural habitats. C．The large number of domestic cats. D．The rise of renewable energy facilities. 34．What did Vander Zanden and her colleagues discover in their study? A．Solar facilities were a major cause of bird deaths. B．Local birds faced a greater death risk at wind facilities. C．The majority of birds killed at solar facilities were migratory. D．The bird death rate was closely related to migration patterns. 35．What can we infer from Vander Zanden’s words? A．Animals hold many mysteries to humans. B．The study possesses scientific significance. C．Keeping track of and analysing birds is challenging. D．The remains of dead birds should be well conserved. 36．Which of the following proverbs can be concluded from the text? A．Every coin has two sides. B．The early bird catches the worm. C．Every cloud has a silver lining. D．Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. 外刊精选答案 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.ease (v.) 动词，缓解，减轻 2.anxiety (n.) 名词，焦虑，忧虑 3.fiery (adj.) 形容词，炽热的，热烈的，激烈的 4.anecdotal (adj.) 形容词，轶事的，传闻的 5.eradicate (v.) 动词，根除，消灭 6.crisscross (v.) 动词，纵横交错 7.ordeal (n.) 名词，折磨，苦难 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 1.oblivious to the fact that 忽略了……的事实 2.purport to 声称，意在 3.fuel anxiety 加剧焦虑 4.sweep the country 席卷全国 【全文翻译】 “光之城”还是“咬人城”？法国试图缓解臭虫引发的焦虑。 本周在法国国民议会，一位反对党高级议员向她的同事们展示了一个小瓶子。她在激烈的演讲中警告大家，瓶子中的生物正在向全国“传播绝望”。瓶子中的生物可能是死的。而且毫无疑问，它们丝毫不知道自己现在是全法国最热门的话题。瓶子里的生物是一些臭虫。 社交媒体上一连串的帖子声称，在火车、电影院和地铁的座位上都有这些昆虫的踪迹，现在臭虫的照片也出现在报纸上。在近日的全国电视访谈节目中，人们也都在不断地谈论这些昆虫。这引发了全国范围内的焦虑，甚至可以说是警觉，尤其是在法国的首都巴黎。 虽然有关臭虫突然席卷全国的证据大多是趣闻轶事，但专家表示，由于国际旅行激增以及臭虫对农药的抵抗力增强，近几十年这些害虫已经在巴黎、纽约和其他城市的家庭中又卷土重来。在20世纪中叶，臭虫曾几乎被消灭。 政府卫生机构的专家约翰娜·费特（Johanna Fite）表示，自2000年以来，全球化使游客和旅行者在跨越大洲时带来了臭虫，感染事件的数量已经增加。她强调，臭虫的出现并不代表卫生状况糟糕。尽管它们可能扰乱睡眠并引发严重的焦虑，但它们不会传播疾病。 拓展练习阅读理解 33．D 34．C 35．B 36．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了可再生能源设施致鸟死亡成新问题，研究通过分析鸟羽毛同位素揭示死亡鸟源地，提出保护策略，凸显同位素数据在鸟类保护上的潜力。 33．细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, bird death has become an unintended consequence of renewable energy development,(然而，鸟类死亡已成为可再生能源发展的意外后果)”及“Birds can be killed when they hit wind turbines (涡轮机) , fly into solar panels they mistake for bodies of water or get burned by the intense heat from concentrating solar power plants.(鸟类可能因撞击风力涡轮机，误将太阳能板当作水面而飞入，或被集中式太阳能发电厂的强烈热能烧伤而死亡)”可知，鸟类面临的新威胁是可再生能源设施的增加。故选D。 34．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers found most birds killed at solar facilities were nonlocal and peaked during the migratory periods of April and September through October.(研究人员发现，在太阳能设施中丧生的大部分鸟类是非本地的，并在4月及9月至10月的迁徙期间达到高峰)”可知，研究发现迁徙中的鸟类比本地鸟类受太阳能设施的影响更大。故选C。 35．推理判断题。根据第三段中““The data can help inform us about the best strategies to use to minimize the deaths,” Vander Zanden said. “For example, facilities management could work with conservationists to improve the local habitat to help protect local birds or improve other parts of the species’ range where the migratory birds originate.”(范德赞登说：“这些数据可以帮助我们了解如何制定最佳策略以最大限度地减少死亡。例如，设施管理人员可以与环保主义者合作，改善当地栖息地以保护本地鸟类，或改善迁徙鸟类起源的该物种其他分布区域”)”可知，这项研究具有科学意义，可以帮助制定策略来保护鸟类。故选B。 36．推理判断题。根据第一段““Renewable energy development is a critically important component of the transition away from fossil fuels, making our air cleaner. However, bird death has become an unintended consequence of renewable energy development,” said Hannah Vander Zanden, an assistant professor of biology at the University of Florida.(“可再生能源的发展是从化石燃料转型的关键组成部分，能让我们的空气更清洁。然而，鸟类死亡已成为可再生能源发展的意外后果，”佛罗里达大学生物学助理教授Hannah Vander Zanden表示)”可知，本文主要讲述了可再生能源设施致鸟死亡成新问题，所以虽然可再生能源的发展能让我们的空气更清洁，但是也导致鸟类死亡，也就是凡事都有两面性。故选A项。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
