话题:南极生态,应该保护
Thanks to its cold environment,Antarctica re-
mained largely untouched by humans for thousands
of years.However,since the 1990s,the last true
wilderness on the planet is becoming an increasingly
popular destination for adventure-seeking tourists.
Now,a new study states that the visitors may be
leaving behind harmful bacteria which could
devastate the area's native bird population.
Researchers believed that the Antarctic crea-
tures were not affected by the danger due to the
continent's extreme weather.However,microbiolo-
gist Marta Cerda-Cuellar was not convinced this was
true.She and some colleagues decided to examine
samples from Antarctic birds for evidence of human
bacteria.To ensure the waste was not polluted,the
scientists had to collect it from the birds themselves.
This was no easy task.If they missed catching a skua
at first go,the bird never came close again.
It took the scientists four years,from 2008-
2011,to collect fecal (samples of 666 adult
birds from 24 local species.The results of their study
revealed the presence of several types of human bac-
teria in the bird waste.
"While we should do as much as possible to re-
duce transmission,it's hard to believe that we will
stop tourism and science at these sites,and so it is
hard to believe that humans won't continue to trans-
mit pathogens(病原体).”said Kyle Elliott.
Experts,including Gonzalez-Solis,believe the
only way to prevent the mass destruction of the
birds,is to introduce stricter regulations or,at
least,obey the ones already in place.For example,
while the Antarctica Treaty states clearly visitors
carry their waste back home to protect the original
environment,the regulation is rarely obeyed.Hope-
fully,officials will take steps to protect the easily
hurt birds before it's too late.
1.What does the underlined word "devastate"in
Paragraph 1 mean?

[语篇解读]本文为说明文。原本脆弱的南极生态
环境随着游客的到来正在遭受史无前例的破坏,人类
留下的细菌在毁灭着那里的鸟类。我们怎样做才能
挽救那里的生态环境呢?
1.B[词义猜测题。根据第一段该划线词前面的
harmful bacteria判断,该词意思是“破坏”。]
2.A[推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This was no
easy task.If they missed catching a skua at first
go,the bird never came close again.”可知,采集鸟
的粪便很难。]
3.B[细节理解题。根据第四段中的“it's hard to
believe that we will stop tourism and science at
these sites'”判断,Kyle Elliott认为阻止人们到这
个地区旅游很难。]
4.C[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Hopefully,
officials will take steps to protect the easily hurt
birds before it's too late.”判断作者建议应尽快的
采取措施保护南极鸟类。]
Ⅱ.七选五
话题:野外露营,注意事项
Be A Responsible Camper
Being a responsible camper is about more than
just respecting your neighbors and observing the
boundaries set by campsites.1 Please keep sus-
tainable camping guidelines in mind while planning a
trip into the great outdoors.
艺考生文化课百日冲关英语(WY)
Leave no trace.2 Follow the principles:
"take only pictures,leave only footprints."Most
"leave no trace"principles focus on reducing our im-
pact on the natural environment.Following the
same rules for hiking and other outdoor recreational
activities is one of the best ways to show your re-
spect for a natural destination.
3 Harmful sunscreen chemicals can nega-
tively affect dry land as well.They can pollute
bodies of water and may take many years to break
down in the natural environment,so be mindful of
what you put on your bodies before jumping into
that lake.As a rule of thumb,always stay at least
200 feet away from any water source while using
soap or toothpaste.
Respect the wildlife.If you're camping in a
popular area with plenty of people around,it's easy
to forget that you're actually sharing space with wild
animal habitats.Animals that get too used to hu-
mans can get reliant,which disrupts the natural bal-
ance of things within their ecosystems.Sometimes,
too much interaction with people can make animals
more aggressive or lead to more human-wildlife con-
flicts.Try to keep all of your food out of reach from
wildlife.4
Practice fire safety.While this is especially rel-
evant on the west coast of the United States,where
wildfire season is most threatening,fire safety
should always be a top priority while camping.
5 In areas known for having greater fire danger,
it pays to have a shovel or a bucket of water handy
to take care of any runaway flames.
A.Keep waterways clean.
B.Aim for zero waste.
C.Only build fires in designated fire pits or rings.
D.And most importantly,remember never to feed
wild animals.
E.Taking your campsite off the beaten path may
sound adventurous.
F.It's about having the lowest impact possible on
the surrounding environment.
G.Always leave your campsite the same (or better)
than you found it.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍露
营时要注意的事项。
l.F[根据上文“Being a responsible camper is
about more than just respecting your neighbors
and observing the boundaries set by campsites.
(作为一个负责任的露营者,不仅仅是尊重你的邻
居,遵守露营地设定的界限。)”推知,空处提出露营
时还要注意什么。选项F“这是关于尽可能减少对
周围环境的影响”和上文意思一致。]
2.G[根据上文“Leave no trace..(不留痕迹。)”可
知,这一段建议人们不要在离开时留下垃圾之类对
环境有影响的东西。选项G“离开你的露营地时,
一定要和你发现的一样(或更好)。”和上文意思
一致。]
3.A[根据下文“Harmful sunscreen chemicals can
negatively affect dry land as well.They can pol-
lute bodies of water and may take many years to
break down in the natural environment,so be
mindful of what you put on your bodies before
jumping into that lake..(有害的防晒化学物质也
会对旱地产生负面影响。它们会污染水体,可能需
要很多年才能在自然环境中分解,所以在跳进湖中
之前,要注意你身上用了什么化妆品。)”可知,这一
段提出要保护水资源的建议。选项A“保持水道清
洁”和下文意思一致,可以作为主旨句。]
4.D[空处位于段末,应承接上文。根据上文“Try
to keep all of your food out of reach from wildlife.
(尽量把你所有的食物都放在野生动物够不到的地
方。)”可知,空处指出不要喂野生动物。选项D“最
重要的是,记住永远不要喂野生动物。”和上文意思
一致。]
5.C[根据上文“Practice fire safety.While this is
especially relevant on the west coast of the United
States,where wildfire season is most threatening,
fire safety should always be a top priority while
camping..(练习消防安全。虽然这在野火季节最
具威胁的美国西海岸尤为重要,但露营时消防安全
应始终是首要任务。)”可知,这一段提出对使用火
的建议。选项C“只能在指定的火坑或火圈内生
火”符合语境。]
