An adult blue whale weighs up to 173 tonnes with 30 meters in length. When a whale dies in the ocean, its body usually falls to the sea floor and a special deep-sea ecosystem will be formed in a long time. Scientists give a name to this: the whale fall. Recently, some scientists on a Chinese research ship called Tansuo-1 found a whale fall at the depth of 1,600 meters in the South China Sea. Whale falls are seldom found by humans. This is the first time China has found this type of ecosystem. So far, less than 50 modern natural whale falls have been found by humans around the world. The whale fall is really important to deep-sea animals, as it provides food for them. Usually, the whale fall goes through three stages. The first stage comes just after the whale dies. The body attracts lots of big sea animals such as shark and they come to eat the body. This stage lasts from months to years. At the second stage, smaller animals come for the whale’s bones and leftovers. This stage can last one or two years. Bacteria (细菌) play a role at the third stage. They break down what has been left. This stage can last as long as 100 years. The whale fall found in the South China Sea is 3 meters long. It is still at the first stage. The scientists said it would take them a long time to study the whale fall because they knew it would help them understand the deep-sea ecosystem better. 41. When whales die in the ocean, most of their bodies usually ________. A. are saved by scientists B. are found on the beach C. float on the ocean surface D. sink to the bottom of the ocean 42. The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “ecosystem” is ________. A. 经济学 B. 生态系统 C. 电子信息 D. 环保体系 43. The whale fall goes through the following stages, and the correct order is ________. ① Bacteria break down the rest of the whale.② Smaller animals eat the whale’s bones. ③ The whale dies in the ocean.④ Big sea animals eat the whale’s body. A. ③④①② B. ④③①② C. ③④②① D. ④③②① 44. According to the passage, we know that ________. A. an adult blue whale weighs up to 173 tons B. some scientists found a whale fall in the South China Sea C. at the first stage, smaller animals come for the whale’s bones D. the whale fall found in the South China Sea is in the third stage 45. The best title for this passage maybe “________”. A. The Whale Fall B. A Chinese Research C. Whales in the Ocean D. The Deep-sea Ecosystem 【答案】41. D 42. B 43. C 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文，介绍了鲸落的相关知识。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When a whale dies in the ocean, its body usually falls to the sea floor and a special deep-sea ecosystem will be formed in a long time”，可知通常沉入海底，故选D。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The whale fall is really important to deep-sea animals, as it provides food for them”，可知这里是说鲸鱼的坠落会形成一种特殊的深海生态系统，故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Usually, the whale fall goes through three stages”及段中对三个阶段的描述，可知先是鲸鱼死在海里，然后大的海洋动物吃鲸鱼的身体，接下来再由较小的动物吃鲸鱼的骨头，最后细菌分解再鲸鱼的其余部分；所以③④②①顺序正确，故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Recently, some scientists on a Chinese research ship called Tansuo-1 found a whale fall at the depth of 1,600 meters in the South China Sea”，可知选项some scientists found a whale fall in the South China Sea“一些科学家在中国南海发现了一头鲸鱼”说法正确，故选B。 【45题详解】 最佳标题题。根据第一段“Scientists give a name to this: the whale fall”，结合文中科学家对鲸鱼坠落现象的解释，可知短文主要介绍了鲸落的知识；The Whale Fall符合文意，故选A。 C Jayden Miller, a vlogger, 26, has lived in China for five years, teaching English in China. In his free time, he likes making videos about his trips to villages and has shared over 10 such videos on the Internet. Miller has seen the big changes in those villages during his trips over the years. The old bumpy roads in the village become much better now. “Now you can easily spend a day in a village. You can go to a restaurant to buy some food. You can go to the park to relax. You can pay for everything with your phone. There is always 4 G or even 5 G, so I can use the map on my phone to get back to the city. But there was nothing when I went there for the first time,” says Miller. In some villages, traders told him that they could sell more local products to make more money—thanks to the growing number of visitors brought by the more convenient transport. Miller thinks it’s China’s effort that makes these changes happen in the countryside. He hopes to go on logging the changes to show the real China to the world. 46. When did Miller go to China? A. At the age of 26. B. At the age of 21. C. At the age of 16. D. At the age of 10. 47. Miller has shared ________ videos about his trips to villages online. A. over ten B. over twenty C. over thirty D. over forty 48. The underlined word “bumpy” in the second paragraph means “________” in Chinese. A. 光滑的 B. 粗鲁的 C. 舒服的 D. 不平的 49. Why can traders make more money by selling local products? A. Because the local products are more expensive but better than other products. B.

The successful manned mission marks the second time within five years that China’s Shenzhou manned spaceships have taken Chinese astronauts to space and brought them back home safely. Spending 90 days at the space station, the Shenzhou -12 astronauts have set a new record for China’s manned space mission duration (持续时间) and got rich experience for future space journeys. From building Chinese people’s “new home in space” to entering the space station and carrying out extravehicular (舱外的) activities twice in one space mission, and from one day of the Shenzhou-5 to 90 days of the Shenzhou -12 in space.

A. a newspaper B. a storybook C. an advertisement D. a guidebook B Whales are the largest living organisms (生物) living on the surface of the earth. An adult blue whale weighs up to 173 tonnes with 30 meters in length. When a whale dies in the ocean, its body usually falls to the sea floor and a special deep-sea ecosystem will be formed in a long time. Scientists give a name to this: the whale fall. Recently, some scientists on a Chinese research ship called Tansuo-1 found a whale fall at the depth of 1,600 meters in the South China Sea. Whale falls are seldom found by humans. This is the first time China has found this type of ecosystem. So far, less than 50 modern natural whale falls have been found by humans around the world. The whale fall is really important to deep-sea animals, as it provides food for them. Usually, the whale fall goes through three stages. The first stage comes just after the whale dies. The body attracts lots of big sea animals such as shark and they come to eat the body. This stage lasts from months to years. At the second stage, smaller animals come for the whale’s bones and leftovers. This stage can last one or two years. Bacteria (细菌) play a role at the third stage. They break down what has been left. This stage can last as long as 100 years. The whale fall found in the South China Sea is 3 meters long. It is still at the first stage. The scientists said it would take them a long time to study the whale fall because they knew it would help them understand the deep-sea ecosystem better. 41. When whales die in the ocean, most of their bodies usually ________. A. are saved by scientists B. are found on the beach C. float on the ocean surface D. sink to the bottom of the ocean 42. The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “ecosystem” is ________. A. 经济学 B. 生态系统 C. 电子信息 D. 环保体系 43. The whale fall goes through the following stages, and the correct order is ________. ① Bacteria break down the rest of the whale.② Smaller animals eat the whale’s bones. ③ The whale dies in the ocean.④ Big sea animals eat the whale’s body. A. ③④①② B. ④③①② C. ③④②① D. ④③②① 44. According to the passage, we know that ________.

The Deep-sea Ecosystem C Jayden Miller, a vlogger, 26, has lived in China for five years, teaching English in China. In his free time, he likes making videos about his trips to villages and has shared over 10 such videos on the Internet. Miller has seen the big changes in those villages during his trips over the years. The old bumpy roads in the village become much better now. “Now you can easily spend a day in a village. You can go to a restaurant to buy some food. You can go to the park to relax. You can pay for everything with your phone. There is always 4 G or even 5 G, so I can use the map on my phone to get back to the city. But there was nothing when I went there for the first time,” says Miller. In some villages, traders told him that they could sell more local products to make more money—thanks to the growing number of visitors brought by the more convenient transport.
