At least 28 kinds of sharks are swimming through the clear water there—the largest in the world. Especially tiger sharks are common visitors to Shark Bay. They move their 15-foot-long (4.5 meters) bodies through the seagrass, sometimes catching huge sea cows for a meal. Although tiger sharks are dangerous to them, they are important to the health of the ocean ecosystem (生态系统). In fact, they can also be our powerful friends in stopping climate change. It all comes back to the seagrass that moves with the waves in Shark Bay. The seagrass is food for the sea cows. Each eats about 40 kilograms of seagrass a day. By controlling the sea cow populations, tiger sharks in Shark Bay help the seagrass beds grow. A good seagrass bed stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests do on land. But in the world, tiger shark populations are becoming smaller, including some populations in Australia. Off Australia’s northeast coast of Queensland, it is said that tiger sharks have fallen by at least 71%, largely because of overfishing and bycatch (误捕). A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass eaten and less carbon kept in the ocean. In Shark Bay, the tiger sharks are able to achieve the balance by keeping sea cow populations down, and not all the bay’s seagrass is lost. But here comes the question: What if sharks disappeared from the bay? The need to understand how they support their ecosystems becomes even more urgent (紧迫的). 16. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1? A. Tiger sharks eat sea cows. B. The tiger shark is the largest of its kind. C. A seagrass bed is about 4.5 meters long. D. Sea cows are harmful to the ocean ecosystem. 17. What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A. Visitors. B. Sea cows. C. Tiger sharks. D. Seagrass beds. 18. What’s the situation of tiger sharks? A. They are overfishing sea cows. B. They are moving out of Australia. C. Their populations are becoming smaller. D. Their living condition is becoming worse. 19. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To give some information about sharks. B. To give some information about tiger sharks. C. To tell us there will be more sea cows in the future. D. To call on humans to take action to protect tiger sharks. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. C 19. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在澳大利亚西端的鲨鱼湾中，虎鲨是我们阻止气候变化的有力朋友，因此了解虎鲨是如何支持生态系统的需求变得更加迫切了。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“They move their 15-foot-long (4.5 meters) bodies through the seagrass, sometimes catching huge sea cows for a meal.”可知，虎鲨有时会捕捉巨大的海牛作为一顿大餐。故选A。 【17题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Although tiger sharks are dangerous to them, they are important to the health of the ocean ecosystem.”可知，虎鲨对海洋生态系统的健康很重要，故此处的划线单词指的是“虎鲨”。故选C。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容“But in the world, tiger shark populations are becoming smaller,”可知，在全球范围内，虎鲨的数量正在减少。故选C。 【19题详解】 主旨大意题。通读最后一段可知，虎鲨能够通过减少海牛的数量来达到平衡，因此了解虎鲨是如何支持生态系统的需求变得更加迫切了，以此呼吁人们不应该猎杀太多鲨鱼，因此人们应该采取行动保护生态系统。故选D。 C When winter comes, cranes fly from Northeast Siberia in Russia to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi province, China. ___20___ However, climate change has influenced the birds’ living conditions.

Zhang was born in 1964 in the village of Mawang, Xi’an city, Shaanxi province. ________ since he was very young. “My father passed away early and it was hard for my mother to raise me by herself.

At least 28 kinds of sharks are swimming through the clear water there—the largest in the world. Especially tiger sharks are common visitors to Shark Bay. They move their 15-foot-long (4.5 meters) bodies through the seagrass, sometimes catching huge sea cows for a meal. Although tiger sharks are dangerous to them, they are important to the health of the ocean ecosystem (生态系统). In fact, they can also be our powerful friends in stopping climate change. It all comes back to the seagrass that moves with the waves in Shark Bay. The seagrass is food for the sea cows. Each eats about 40 kilograms of seagrass a day. By controlling the sea cow populations, tiger sharks in Shark Bay help the seagrass beds grow. A good seagrass bed stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests do on land. But in the world, tiger shark populations are becoming smaller, including some populations in Australia. Off Australia’s northeast coast of Queensland, it is said that tiger sharks have fallen by at least 71%, largely because of overfishing and bycatch (误捕). A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass eaten and less carbon kept in the ocean. In Shark Bay, the tiger sharks are able to achieve the balance by keeping sea cow populations down, and not all the bay’s seagrass is lost. But here comes the question: What if sharks disappeared from the bay? The need to understand how they support their ecosystems becomes even more urgent (紧迫的). 16. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1? A. Tiger sharks eat sea cows. B. The tiger shark is the largest of its kind. C. A seagrass bed is about 4.5 meters long. D. Sea cows are harmful to the ocean ecosystem. 17. What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A. Visitors. B. Sea cows. C. Tiger sharks. D. Seagrass beds. 18. What’s the situation of tiger sharks? A They are overfishing sea cows. B. They are moving out of Australia. C. Their populations are becoming smaller. D. Their living condition is becoming worse. 19. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To give some information about sharks. B. To give some information about tiger sharks. C To tell us there will be more sea cows in the future. D. To call on humans to take action to protect tiger sharks. C When winter comes, cranes fly from Northeast Siberia in Russia to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi province, China. ___20___ However, climate change has influenced the birds’ living conditions. In some years, Poyang Lake experiences floods, while in others, it experiences dry weather. ___21___ To help deal with the problem, the local government has planted a large area of lotus roots (莲藕) in Nanchang. ___22___ As a result, the birds’ population has increased from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years. Over the years, China has worked hard to protect migratory birds (候鸟).
