单元检测卷（三）Unit 3 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION-【正禾一本通】2024-2025学年高中英语选择性必修第三册同步课堂高效讲义教师用书（人教版2019）

单元检测卷(三) (满分：120分　时间：100分钟) 第一部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Elephant Conservation Country：Thailand This is a working vacation at a wildlife centre.Anyone can become a volunteer if he/she agrees to help the elephant keepers with tasks. Daily tasks Gather the elephants at 6：30 a．m.Take them to look for food in the forest.Clean the enclosure. Swim with the elephants in the lake in the afternoon.If volunteers want to relax after work, they can watch satellite television. How this vacation helps If these elephants hadn't been rescued, they would still be living on the streets of Bangkok. A rural environment is much better for them than an urban environment where there is lots of pollution. Gorilla Safari Countries：Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda Departures：Aug.－Dec.，2－3 departures per month Extra：Gorilla permit ￡220 If you're lucky, you'll see lions, elephants and rhinos on safari.The highlight of the trip is the opportunity to see gorillas in the mountain forests.However, you must be in good health—if a gorilla caught a cold, it would be extremely harmful to its whole family. How this vacation helps There are only about 600 mountain gorillas left in the world as human activities have reduced the area where they can live.When you buy a permit, this will pay for the protection of the national park. Polar Bear Watching Country：Canada Departures：sixty trips between Oct.1－Nov.19 Every October and November, groups of polar bears gather in Hudson Bay.As they are normally lonely creatures, this is unusual.The bears wait for the ocean to freeze so that they can hunt seals, so this is the perfect opportunity to see them. How this vacation helps If the Arctic ice cap melts due to global warming, polar bears will be in danger.We give a share of our profits to the Polar Bears Alive Charity. Your comment These awesome bears get all the liquid they need from their food. [语篇解读]本文是应用文。文章针对几个保护野生动物的活动做了简单的介绍。 1．What will an elephant volunteer do? A．Take food for elephants at 6：30 a．m. B．Sweep the houses of elephants. C．Wash elephants in the lake in the afternoon. D．Watch satellite television on elephants. B　[细节理解题。根据文章Daily tasks中的“Clean the enclosure.”可知，志愿者要负责清理大象的住所，故选B。] 2．What do we know about Gorilla Safari? A．You can find gorillas in Kenya and Canada. B．You might get a cold in the mountain forests. C．Visitors need to pay ＄220 to see 600 gorillas. D．There are about 10 trips to visit gorillas. D　[细节理解题。从文章Gorilla Safari中的“Aug.－Dec., 2－3 departures per month”可知大约有10次去观赏大猩猩的行程。故选D。] 3．What can we know from the last paragraph? A．Polar bears don't need to drink water. B．Polar bears store the liquid in their food. C．Polar bears drink all kinds of liquid. D．Polar bears eat mainly liquid food. A　[推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，北极熊不需要喝水，它所需的液体都是从食物中获得的。故选A。] B Based on new analysis, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe.Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear.Polar regions (极地地区) will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate (迁徙) north. Climate change could lead to the spread of diseases.Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase, but may also become more intense.If the climate change comes too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear. According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of today's familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today's world.It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far­reaching consequences for the whole world.The planet itself has been showing signs of change.In 2004, a serious tsunami (海啸) created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake.Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was completely destroyed in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake. Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought.At this point it doesn't matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it.What's more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year.There is war and threat of war everywhere.Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious. However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this.No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data. [语篇解读]本文是说明文，叙述了当前气候变化加剧的现象及其给社会和环境带来的严重后果。 4．What is the major function of Paragraph 1? A．To arouse the readers' concern. B．To introduce the theme. C．To summarise the whole passage. D．To state how the climate changes. B　[推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Based on new analysis，we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe.”可知，新的研究数据表明，世界的气候变化已经严重影响了社会和环境。而接下来的几段则是围绕气候变化对社会和环境的具体影响而展开的，由此可推知，第一段主要是介绍文章的主题。故选B项。] 5．What is the author's purpose in using the examples of earthquakes? A．To show major changes are taking place on the planet. B．To remind people to prevent future earthquakes. C．To show the damage earthquakes caused. D．To tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future. A　[细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The planet itself has been showing signs of change.”可知，列举最近地球上发生的地震是为了说明地球正在发生着重大变化。故选A项。] 6．Which of the following is NOT true of the climate change's effects? A．Animals and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear. B．It could lead to the spread of diseases. C．Current world climate zones could shift and completely disappear. D．Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious. C　[细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Geographers predict that within the next eighty years，current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear.”可知，地理学家预计在未来的八十年中，当前的世界气候带可能会改变，有的可能会完全消失，C项中说世界气候带可能会变化并会完全消失，与文中描述不符。故C项错误。] 7．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Animals and plants won't die out as long as climate changes slowly. B．There's enough data for us to predict the future of climate change. C．The world is getting more unstable because of animal migration. D．Earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change. D　[推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“However，other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this.”可知，地球并不是唯一一个正在经历气候变化的星球。故选D项。] C Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks.His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he's an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road.What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags. Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year.So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts (收银台)．The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles.Eyeing these headwinds, plastic­bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume. Among the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport.And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today. The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags.The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic­bag use it cancels out.However, longer­lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic. Environmentalists don't dispute (质疑) these points.They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years. [语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章分析了几种购物袋的使用情况，塑料袋会造成环境问题，纸袋尽管容易回收，但生产和运输需要更多的能源，环保主义者希望消费者使用耐用的可重复使用的袋子。 8．What has Steven Stein been hired to do? A．Help increase grocery sales. B．Recycle the waste material. C．Stop things falling off trucks. D．Argue for the use of plastic bags. D　[细节理解题。根据第一段中“one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags”和第二段中“plastic­bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume”可知，塑料袋生产商雇用Steven Stein是为了证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象的那样对地球有害，为使用塑料袋进行辩护。故选D。] 9．What does the word “headwinds” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Bans on plastic bags. B．Effects of city development. C．Headaches caused by garbage. D．Plastic bags hung in trees. A　[词义猜测题。上文介绍在美国许多大城市塑料袋被禁用，看到这种现状，塑料袋生产商雇用Steven Stein等科学家是为了证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象的那样对地球有害。headwinds意为“逆风”，此处指塑料袋被禁用的现状，即Bans on plastic bags，故选A。] 10．What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic­bag makers? A．They are quite expensive. B．Replacing them can be difficult. C．They are less strong than plastic bags. D．Producing them requires more energy. D　[细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, longer­lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.”可知，生产耐用且能重复使用的袋子需要更多的能源，故选D。] 11．What is the best title for the text? A．Plastic, Paper or Neither B．Industry, Pollution and Environment C．Recycle or Throw Away D．Garbage Collection and Waste Control A　[标题归纳题。文章讲述了使用塑料袋会造成环境问题，纸袋容易回收，但生产和运输需要更多的能源，环保主义者希望消费者使用耐用的、可重复使用的袋子。对这三种方式进行了对比，Plastic, Paper or Neither既能概括全文，又能吸引读者，最适合作为标题。故选A。] D World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th and was created to inspire people around the globe to take an active part in environmental protection and learn more about ways we can help to guarantee the future of our planet is safe. The very first World Environment Day took place in 1974, established by the United Nations General Assembly on the first day of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment that took place in 1972.Each year the United Nations picks a theme and a host city where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others, followed by different kinds of exhibits to promote environmental awareness.Environmentalists, academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment. The 2018 World Environment Day was hosted by India, and the theme was Beat Plastic Pollution.It urged people to explore and choose supportable alternatives like paper or cloth bags to reduce the production and use of disposable plastic, which made up 10% of all of the waste.Even though the United Nations picks a specific host city every year, people around the world still celebrate World Environment Day in their hometowns with parades (游行), concerts, cleaning up and tree planting and all kinds of green actions to work towards having a beautiful planet and battling pollution. World Environment Day is not a public holiday, so you won't be getting the day off work or school, but if you want to celebrate, why not bring it to the attention of your parents, friends, colleagues or classmates？World Environment Day is all about working together to take action for the planet, so try to get everyone you know interested in helping do something.Things as small as making sure people have a way to recycle can make a difference.You could also try beautifying your neighborhood by planting gardens, learn about green foods, raise money for a local wildlife conservation group or simply learn about the effects of different products on the earth. [语篇解读]本文是说明文，介绍了世界环境日的由来和情况，呼吁全员行动起来帮助保护地球。 12．Why is World Environment Day set up? A．To make people know more about nature. B．To ask people to help to protect the globe. C．To warn people of the danger of air pollution. D．To encourage people to plan the earth's future. B　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“to inspire people around the globe to take an active part in environmental protection and learn more about ways we can help to guarantee the future of our planet is safe”可知，世界环境日的目的是鼓励全球的人们积极参与环境保护并学会很多方法来帮助确保地球将来的安全，故选B。] 13．What do people do on World Environment Day? A．Decide a host city. B．Hold a theme party. C．Discuss environmental ideas. D．Show some plastic products. C　[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others”以及“Environmentalists，academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment.”可知，人们主要是在这一天讨论环境问题。故选C。] 14．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “disposable” in Paragraph 3? A．High­cost. B．Poor­quality. C．Second­hand. D．Single­use. D　[词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Beat Plastic Pollution”可知，2018年的主题是“塑战速决”；以及“It urged people to explore and choose supportable alternatives like paper or cloth bags”和“which made up 10% of all of the waste”可知，“disposable plastic”造成大量资源浪费，所以“一次性的”符合语境，故选D。] 15．What's the main idea of the last paragraph? A．Every bit of effort counts. B．Doing is better than saying. C．Many hands make light work. D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. A　[主旨大意题。结合全文可知，文章主要是讲每个人都可以从身边小事做起，行动起来保护地球，每个人的微小努力都很重要，故选A。] 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Solutions to Climate Change There are personal lifestyle changes that you can make and that, to some extent, can help reduce your carbon impact.Not all are right for everybody.But applying just a few of them could make a difference. Move closer to work. Transportation is one of the leading sources of greenhouse gas emissions.16. One way to dramatically cut transportation fuel needs is to move closer to work, use mass transportation, or switch to walking, cycling or some other modes of transport that do not require anything other than human energy. Consume less. 17． Whether by quitting an automobile or employing a reusable grocery sack, cutting back on consumption results in fewer fossil fuels being burned to extract, produce and ship products around the globe. 18． A potentially simpler and even bigger effect can be produced by doing more with less.Citizens of many developed countries are energy wasters, whether by speeding in a gas­wasting vehicle or leaving the lights on when not in a room.Similarly, employing more efficient refrigerators, air conditioners and other appliances can cut electricity bills.19. You can turn the lights or your computers off when you leave the office. Stop cutting down trees. When purchasing wood products, such as furniture or flooring, buy used goods or, failing that, wood proved officially to have been sustainably harvested.The Amazon rainforest and other forests are more than the lung of the earth.20. A．Be energy efficient. B．Use few electrical appliances. C．But it doesn't have to be that way. D．Such efforts can also be usefully employed at work. E．They may also be humans' short­term hope for limiting climate change. F．The easiest way to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions is simply to buy less stuff. G．Citizens spend more money on electricity to power devices when they're off than when they're on. [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些我们在日常生活中可以采取的简单易行的环保措施。这些措施看似微小却能为应对气候变化贡献力量。 16．C　[上一句提到交通运输是温室气体排放的主要来源之一。下一句提到减少交通燃料需求的一个方法是住得离工作地近一点。C项承上启下，且C项中的that way指代上句内容。] 17．F　[该空对应的小标题是减少消费，同时又是本段首句。F项点明减少温室气体排放的最简单的方法是少购物，符合本段的语境。] 18．A　[该空是本段的小标题。本段主要建议我们有效利用能源，尽可能减少对能源的浪费，用更少的能源做更多的事。故用A项概括本段的主旨。] 19．D　[上一句介绍了在生活中如何减少对能源的浪费，该空后则介绍了在办公室里如何减少对能源的浪费。D项承上启下。] 20．E　[上一句提到亚马孙雨林及其他森林不仅仅是地球之肺。E项中的“They may also be”与上一句中的“...are more than”相对应，符合语境，故选E。] 第二部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Leila Taheri used to go to the Welsh Harp wetland as a schoolgirl.At that time, the 160­hectare nature 21 was home to various birds, also Taheri's perfect playground.She 22 played baseball there, forgetting to go home.

To solve the problem of garbage pollution, we are supposed to take some effective measures. First, we should sort garbage properly so that it can be treated easily.Besides, reusable garbage should be recycled. In my opinion, only if we work together to reduce garbage pollution can we live in a better environment and leave a more beautiful world for future generations. 第二节(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Jack and his wife Tonya were sailing around Africa with their friends Max and Sasha.One day they saw a big fishing boat.It was moving fast. “Hello！”they shouted.The men on the boat looked at them angrily.Max looked carefully at the boat. “Something is wrong with their fishing net，”he said.They got nearer to the net. “What's that？”said Tonya.“There is something in the net.It's alive.” Very slowly they moved nearer. “I can see it now，”said Tonya.“It's a killer whale—it's hurt.There's blood in the water.How can we help it？” “I can see it too.It's a baby but we must be careful，”said Max. Jack jumped into the water.“I can get the net off its fin (鳍)，”he said. Jack got the net off the baby killer whale.There was a big cut on its fin.It swam away.Suddenly there were other killer whales near the boat. “Jack！”shouted Tonya.“Get on quickly.”Jack swam to the boat as fast as a fish.“That baby killer whale...I am going to call it Lucky，”he said. As they moved away, it began to rain harder and harder.
