(英译汉) 【答案】不过，为工厂说句公道话，我想指出的是我们也在努力控制所产生的污染量。 【详解】考查介词短语，宾语从句，定语从句和动词。根据汉语提示，in defence of sth.为固定短语，表示“为……作解释或辩护”，使用介词短语作状语。表示“然而”用副词however；would like to do sth.表示“想要做某事”；point out表示“指出”，后接宾语that引导的宾语从句，引导词that在从句中不做成分；the amount of pollution we produce意为“所产生的污染量”，用了省略that引导的限制性定语从句。句子表述客观事实，故使用一般现在时。故翻译为：不过，为工厂说句公道话，我想指出的是我们也在努力控制所产生的污染量。 7．Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit.(英译汉) 【答案】虽然她很早就建立了自己的公司，但是她并不是为利润所驱使。 【详解】考查句子结构。分析句子可知，本句是主从复合句。主句：主语是she，谓语是wasn’t driven“驱使”，，primarily“主要地；根本地”为副词作状语；从句为让步状语从句，由Although“尽管；虽然”引导，主语是she，founded“创办；建立”为谓语；her company“她的公司”是宾语，early on in life“早期”为时间状语。故本句可译为：虽然她很早就建立了自己的公司，但是她并不是为利润所驱使。 六、语法填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Ian Kiernan was taking part in a sailing race in 1987 when he noticed an alarming amount of garbage (垃圾) in the oceans.

That is the conclusion of a new report by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), which is pressing for the launch of a targeted research programme to investigate how sudden temperature rises in coastal seawater could affect marine habitats and seafood production in the UK. “Marine heatwaves have catastrophic impacts and we need to be prepared for them. At present, we are not and that position needs to be rectified (修正) as a matter of urgency,” said Dr Zoe Jacobs, the lead researcher at the NOC report. “We need to know how these marine heatwaves are going to affect plants and animals that live in the sea and find ways to protect them, as well as the coastal communities that depend on them.” In early summer 2023 Britain was struck by a marine heatwave in which major rises in the temperature of sea water were experienced off the north-east coast of England and off the west of Ireland. For more than two weeks, the sea in these regions was around five degrees above normal temperatures, breaking records for late spring and early summer. And the North Sea and north Atlantic experienced higher temperatures at the same time, with sea temperatures reaching an all-time high, according to records that date back to 1850. As global temperature continues to rise, scientists believe it is unavoidable that many more of these record-breaking heatwaves will affect water around Britain and Ireland in the near future. Now the problem is that the long-term consequences of such jumps in temperature are still unknown. “There have been stories that there were widespread die-offs of shellfish such as whelks, and disruption to many fisheries during last year’s heatwave, but there is no hard evidence to back up these because we have not carried out any detailed research into the exact effects, and that is a problem.” 11．What conclusion did NOC make in its new report? A．The marine heatwaves destroyed fisheries worldwide. B．Fisheries have serious impacts on the environment in the UK. C．Natural disasters happen frequently around the coast of the UK. D．Marine heatwaves may become more and more serious in Britain. 12．Which of the following statements may Dr Zoe Jacobs agree with? A．More efforts should be made to get prepared for the coming threat. B．There is no need to worry too much about the rising temperature. C．The exact position of the marine heatwaves remains unclear. D．Plants and animals are now protected well from the disaster. 13．What problem are the scientists concerned about according to the text? A．How Britain and Ireland will avoid heatwaves. B．Why the temperature of the UK rises so suddenly. C．What research should be carried out to find out the solution. D．What may be caused by high rise in temperature in a long run. 14．What is a suitable title for the text? A．Marine Lives Call for Long-term Protection B．Marine Heatwaves Bring Future Threats to Britain C．NOC Launched New Research Program on Seawater D．Sudden Jumps in Temperature Harmed Costal Ecosystem 【答案】11．D 12．A 13．D 14．B 【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道，介绍了英国可能面临的持续增长的海洋热浪问题，包括可能带来的影响以及科学家们对此的看法。 11．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Britain is facing a future of increasingly disastrous marine (海洋的) heatwaves that could destroy shellfish groups and fisheries (渔业) and have serious impacts on communities around the coast of the UK.(英国正面临着灾难性的海洋热浪的未来，这可能会摧毁贝类种群和渔业，并对英国沿海社区产生严重影响)”及第二段可知，在新的报道中，国家海洋中心表示海洋热浪可能会在英国变得越来越严重。故选D。 12．推理判断题。根据文章第三段““Marine heatwaves have catastrophic impacts and we need to be prepared for them. At present, we are not and that position needs to be rectified (修正) as a matter of urgency,” said Dr Zoe Jacobs, the lead researcher at the NOC report.(“海洋热浪具有灾难性的影响，我们需要为此做好准备。目前，我们还没有做准备，这种立场需要作为紧急事项加以纠正，”NOC报告的首席研究员Zoe Jacobs博士说)”可知，Dr Zoe Jacobs认为应该做出更多的努力为即将到来的威胁做好准备。故选A。 13．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Now the problem is that the long-term consequences of such jumps in temperature are still unknown.(现在的问题是，这种温度跃升的长期后果仍然未知)”可知，科学家们担心温度升高的长期后果。故选D。 14．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Britain is facing a future of increasingly disastrous marine (海洋的) heatwaves that could destroy shellfish groups and fisheries (渔业) and have serious impacts on communities around the coast of the UK.(英国正面临着灾难性的海洋热浪的未来，这可能会摧毁贝类种群和渔业，并对英国沿海社区产生严重影响)”及全文内容可知，本文介绍了英国可能面临的持续增长的海洋热浪问题，B选项“海洋热浪给英国带来未来威胁”最符合本文主旨。故选B。 1 / 10 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025学年高一年级英语同步精品课堂（译林版） Unit 1 Nature in the balance Extended reading（原卷版） 一、翻译 英汉互译 1． 分布广的；普遍的；广泛的 2．bacterium   3．in turn 4．   消化 5． 完全必要的；极其重要的 6． 矿物；矿物质 7．alternative 8． 食品杂货店 9． 例子；实例；事例 10．   深(度) 11． 全部地；完整地；完全地 12．aspect 二、根据汉语提示完成句子 1．The smog in the air has given me a cough that I can’t (摆脱，丢弃).
