(2023·湖北六校期中)Soot (煤烟) pollution is speeding up climate-driven melting in Antarctica, a new study suggests, raising questions about how to protect the delicate continent from the increasing number of humans who want to visit.
“It really makes us question whether our presence is really needed,” says Alia Khan, one of the authors of the new study. “We have quite a large black carbon footprint in Antarctica, which is enhancing snow and ice melting.”
Black carbon is the leftover thing from burning plants or fossil fuels. Soot in Antarctica comes primarily from waste gases of cruise ships (游轮),vehicles,airplanes and electrical generators, although some pollution travels on the wind from other parts of the globe. The dark particles (微粒) coat white snow and absorb heat from the sun the way a black T-shirt does on a warm day. The blanket of dark bits speeds up melting that is already happening more quickly because of global warming. When snow and ice are uncovered, they reflect an enormous amount of sunlight before it can turn into heat.
“These are the mirrors on our planet,” says Sonia Nagorski, a scientist at the University of Alaska Southeast.“When those mirrors are covered in a film of dark bits, they are less reflective. That means more heat is trapped on Earth, speeding up melting and contributing to global warming.”
As a scientist who personally visits Antarctica every year, Khan says she is troubled by her own research results. On the one hand, she goes to Antarctica to collect crucial data about how quickly the snow and ice there are disappearing.“But then when we come to the conclusion like this it really does make us think twice about how frequently we need to visit the continent,”she says,“and what kind of regulation should be placed on tourism as well.” That could mean requiring that cruise ships and vehicles be electric, for example, or limiting the number of visitors each year.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。研究发现,这些年,人类对南极洲的频繁参观导致煤烟污染加重,而这正在加速南极洲的冰雪融化,由此引发思考:如何保护这块脆弱的大陆免受越来越多想要来参观的人们的影响呢?

推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It really makes us question whether our presence is really needed”可推测出,Khan对于去南极洲表示怀疑;再根据第二段中的“We have quite a large black carbon footprint in Antarctica, which is enhancing snow and ice melting.”可知,Khan已经注意到我们已经给南极洲留下了大量的黑碳足迹,这会加速其冰雪融化。故Khan的话既表达了对人们去南极洲的怀疑,也表达了对所产生问题的担心,故选A。

B.It is increasing in amount because of wind.
C.It reflects a large volume of sunlight.
D.It is like a big mirror on Earth.
答案:A

推理判断题。根据第四段中的“When those mirrors are covered in a film of dark bits... speeding up melting and contributing to global warming.”可知,当南极洲表面被覆盖了一层煤烟之后,冰雪的反射效率就会降低,更多的热量就会被地球吸收,从而导致全球变暖,因此A项“它引起南极洲的表面温度上升”正确,故选A。

4.What might Khan do in the future?
A.Help design scientific research regulations.
B.Use electric cars for her daily transportation.
C.Collect more data about Antarctica.
D.Reduce her visits to Antarctica.

推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But then when we come to the conclusion like this ... for example, or limiting the number of visitors each year.”可知,Khan在重新考虑要多久去一次南极洲,由此可推测出,为了保护当地环境,Khan会减少未来去南极洲的次数,故选D。

(2024·山东济南模拟)There is nothing quite like enjoying the sights, sounds and culture of a city while tasting a cup of coffee outdoors. But it is not that enjoyable when heat waves sweep the city. An outdoor cooling system produced by Kinonko, an Israeli(以色列的) company, began to be tested in Tel Aviv. The sweltering city is a perfect place to try the new technology.
With global warming heating up the temperature, it will soon be too hot to sit outside in cafes. While outdoor cooling systems have existed for a while, most of them use some sort of water or misting system to cool the air around them, consuming too much water and power. After two years of development, the perfect solution to the problem was found. “We have invented a new generation of air conditioner,” Kinonko CEO Leizer said.
As Leizer introduced, the energy is from the pressure created between liquid nitrogen(氮) and gas nitrogen. When liquid nitrogen at-196 degrees turns into gas, it produces a very strong pressure and the pressure is used to run a mechanical engine. It is that mechanical engine that slowly releases freezing nitrogen gas to cool down the air around it.
The technology is unique and amazing. Beyond the coolness of the concept, it also has other advantages. The work unit doesn't need to be power-driven, and doesn't blow out harmful warm air as it works. As for the potential price, it will probably be no more expensive than any other air conditioner. In addition, the liquid nitrogen container will need to be replaced every seven to ten days, depending on usage. This makes it an affordable option for all sorts of businesses. The cooling system is expected to be on the market in 2024.

You could feel sick. You won't be surprised to know that when you exercise,you raise your heart rate for a period of time. While it's great to get that blood flowing,it's just as important to get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over. 2 As your heart is beating faster and your body temperature is higher,you could pass out or feel sick if you stop too fast. Stretching after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the episode.

Your muscles will likely become stiffer and more sore. When you exercise your muscles,it produces lactic acid (乳酸), which is actually what causes your muscles to become sore. When you rest between periods of exercise,your body naturally breaks down that lactic acid. Is there one thing that helps your body get rid of that lactic acid? 3 Stretching helps you distribute oxygen throughout your body,which can reduce lactic acid production and rid your muscles of any accumulation of lactic acid.

4 Flexibility is closely related to injury risk. Poor flexibility will cause you to have muscles that get tired more quickly and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury. Besides,your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. 5 Sticking to stretching after physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility.

Ⅲ.语法填空
[语篇解读] 研究发现,鲨鱼咬人是因为它们把人类误认为海豹。
(2023·湖南名校联考)There's just a 1-in-3,700,000 chance that a person will be killed by 1._______ shark, but the fear is still enough to have swimmers worrying about 2. (be) seen as prey (猎物). Now, new research supports the long-standing theory, 3. explains that it's a case of “mistaken identity” when great whites go in for a bite.
1.考查冠词。句意:一个人被鲨鱼杀死的概率只有三百七十万分之一,但这种恐惧仍然足以让游泳者担心被其视为猎物。shark是可数名词,结合句意可知,此处表示泛指,前面要用不定冠词修饰,且shark的发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。
答案:a
2.考查非谓语动词。句意见上一题解析。about是介词,其后跟动名词作宾语。故填being。
答案:being
3.考查定语从句。句意:现在,新的研究支持一个存在已久的理论,该理论解释说,大白鲨咬人是 “认错身份”的情况。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词为theory,指物,设空处应用关系代词which。故填which。
答案:which
A team of biologists 4. (compare) videos of seals swimming with those of humans swimming. They then edited the clips to simulate a great white's vision and found that from the ocean inhabitant's point
5. view, humans do indeed bear a strong resemblance to seals.
4.考查动词的时态。句意:一组生物学家比较了海豹和人类游泳的视频。设空处作谓语,且句子描述过去的事情,时态应用一般过去时。故填compared。
答案:compared
5.考查介词。句意:然后,他们对这些片段进行编辑,模拟大白鲨的视角,发现从海洋生物的角度来看,人类确实与海豹非常相似。from one's point of view是固定短语,意为“从某人的角度看”。故填of。
答案:of
“Usually, great white sharks 6. (regard) as ‘mindless killers’ and ‘fond of human flesh’. However, this does not seem to be the case; we just look like 7. (they) food,” Laura Ryan, lead author of the study, told Live Science.
6.考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:通常,大白鲨被视为“愚蠢的杀手”和“喜欢吃人”。regard和great white sharks之间为被动关系,需用被动语态;句子描述的是客观事实,时态应用一般现在时;且主语great white sharks是复数。故填are regarded。
答案:are regarded
7.考查代词。句意:……我们只是看起来像它们的食物。根据语境可知,此处修饰名词food,表示 “它们的”,故用形容词性物主代词。故填their。
答案:their
“They eat seals every day and bites on people are 8.__________
(extreme) rare,” said Catherine Macdonald, a marine scientist at the University of Miami. “So if they're not solving the problem visually, then how do we think they're solving it? 9. (hit) the right targets, sharks could be relying on other senses, like the scent. If that's the case, 10. (addition) studies on how great whites use those senses could help prevent further attacks.”
8.考查词性转换。句意:迈阿密大学的一位海洋科学家Catherine Macdonald说:“它们每天吃海豹,咬人的情况极为罕见。”设空处修饰形容词rare,应用副词extremely。故填extremely。
答案:extremely
9.考查非谓语动词。句意:为了击中正确的目标,鲨鱼可以依靠其他感官,比如气味。根据语境可知,设空处用不定式表示目的,位于句首的单词首字母要大写。故填To hit。
答案:To hit
10.考查词性转换。句意:如果是这样的话,关于大白鲨如何使用这些感官的进一步研究可能有助于防止更多的攻击。设空处作定语,修饰名词studies,应用形容词additional。故填additional。
答案:additional
