专题05 七选五阅读 主题01 人与自然——环境保护与生态平衡 Passage 1 (24-25高一上·贵州黔西·期末) All kinds of pollution and waste are doing harm to the earth. 1 . So everyone can do something to help the environment. Here are a few ideas. Save energy. First of all, turn off the unused lights in time and consider using energy-saving light bulbs (灯泡), which can save much electricity. 2 . For example, you can take shorter showers. Also, turning off the tap as you brush your teeth can save much water, too. 3 . If the place you want to go is not far away, please ride a bike instead of driving a car. Riding seems to be a better choice, because it can help cut down the air pollution. You can also choose public transportation, such as taking a bus or subway. Say no to waste. 4 . Don’t take more than you can eat. Growing food needs much work. Moreover, get long life out of things you own by taking good care of them. If something is broken, don’t just throw it away. You can try to fix it or use it to make something else. Use reusable things. When you go shopping, don’t use a paper gift bag, because it is not environmentally friendly. Disposable (一次性的) plastic and paper bags can pollute oceans and the soil. They are hard to break down. 5 A.Then use less water B.Choose green travel C.You should eat less food D.Ride a bike to school or work every day E.A reusable cloth bag will be a wise choice F.However, small steps add up to make a big difference G.The easiest step you should take is to avoid wasting food 【答案】1.F 2.A 3.B 4.G 5.E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要保护环境的一些方法。 1.上文“All kinds of pollution and waste are doing harm to the earth. (各种污染和废物对地球造成伤害。)”指出各种污染和废物对地球造成伤害。下文“So everyone can do something to help the environment.(因此,每个人都可以做一些事情来帮助环境。)”指出每个人都可以做一些事情来保护环境,由此可知,上下文是转折关系,F项“但是,小步骤加起来有很大的作用”符合,指出我们可以做一些小事来保护环境,故选F。 2.上文“First of all, turn off the unused lights in time and consider using energy-saving light bulbs (灯泡), which can save much electricity.(首先,及时关闭未使用的灯并考虑使用节能灯泡,这可以节省大量电力)”介绍了节约能量的一些方法,下文“For example, you can take shorter showers. (例如,你可以进行较短时间的淋浴。)”举例子说明要节约用水,A项“然后使用更少的水”承上启下,符合语义,故选A。 3.此处是本段小标题,根据下文“If the place you want to go is not far away, please ride a bike instead of driving a car. Riding seems to be a better choice, because it can help cut down the air pollution. You can also choose public transportation, such as taking a bus or subway.(如果你想去的地方不远,请骑自行车而不是驾驶汽车。骑行似乎是一个更好的选择,因为它可以帮助减少空气污染。你也可以选择公共交通工具,例如乘公共汽车或地铁)”可知,本段主要建议要绿色出行,B项“选择绿色出行”符合语义,能概括本段内容,故选B。 4.下文“Don’t take more than you can eat.(不要拿超过你能吃的食物)”指出要避免浪费食物,G项“你最简单的步骤是避免浪费食物”符合语义,引起下文,故选G。 5.上文“When you go shopping, don’t use a paper gift bag, because it is not environmentally friendly. Disposable (一次性的) plastic and paper bags can pollute oceans and the soil. They are hard to break down. (当你去购物时,不要使用纸质礼品袋,因为它不环保。一次性塑料和纸袋会污染海洋和土壤。它们很难分解)”指出不要用纸质礼品袋和一次性塑料以及纸袋,要使用布袋,E项“可重复使用的布袋将是明智的选择”符合本段主题“Use reusable things.(使用可重复使用的东西。)”,故选E。 Passage 2 (24-25高一上·河北保定·期末)People hate packaging. And, yes, there’s a lot of bad and wasteful packaging out there. 6 When it comes to protecting and dispensing (分发) food, the right package can greatly reduce waste. Here are a few examples. Packaging keeps the meat fresh. We throw away a fifth of the beef we buy — the equivalent (等量) of 8 million cows each year — often because it goes bad before we cook it. The solution? 7 Case-ready packaging can lengthen that shelf life to up to 21 days. If the meat you bought isn’t going to be eaten within a few days, case-ready packaging is the better choice for the environment. 8 This dairy waste can be avoided with packaging technology such as Tetra Pak (利乐包装纸盒), which is commonly used in Europe and Asia to keep milk from spoiling, even without refrigeration. Recycled or not, Tetra Pak is a good environmental bet because it can lengthen the shelf life of milk up to nine months. 9 Once again, the environmental benefit of the food-protection technology outweighs the harmful impact of the packaging itself. Packaging Fixes Sticky Situations. 10 One example of waste-reducing packaging is the concept project shown from designer Drew Stanley. He designed a peanut butter jar made of a soft material which can be turned inside out and scraped (刮掉) clean, avoiding sticky food sticking to your fingers. A.Packaging protects milk. B.Using Tetra Pak packaging. C.But packaging isn’t always the enemy. D.We should pay attention to the rubbish produced by packaging. E.Scientists have developed packaging that can keep refrigerated meat fresh for weeks. F.It can reduce the need for refrigeration and the amount of milk that goes wasted. G.Food left behind in jars and bottles makes up a surprising amount of waste. 【答案】6.C 7.E 8.A 9.F 10.G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了正确的包装可以有效减少浪费。 6.空格前的句子“People hate packaging. And, yes, there’s a lot of bad and wasteful packaging out there.(人们讨厌包装。是的,有很多糟糕和浪费的包装。)”说因为浪费,人们讨厌包装。而空格后的句子“When it comes to protecting and dispensing (分发) food, the right package can greatly reduce waste.(在保护和分配食物时,正确的包装可以大大减少浪费。)”又说正确的包装可以大大减少浪费。由此可推知,观点发生了转变,故空处应该填转折句进行过渡。C项“But packaging isn’t always the enemy.(但包装并不总是环境的敌人)”填入空格处,符合文章行文逻辑。故选C项。 7.根据空格前的句子“We throw away a fifth of the beef we buy—the equivalent (等量) of 8 million cows each year—often because it goes bad before we cook it. The solution?(我们扔掉了我们购买的五分之一的牛肉——相当于每年800万头牛——通常是因为它们在我们烹饪之前就变质了。解决方案?)”可知,空格处的句子应该提到防止牛肉变质的解决方案。所以E项“Scientists have developed packaging that can keep refrigerated meat fresh for weeks.(科学家们已经开发出一种可以使冷藏肉类保持数周新鲜的包装。)”填入空格处,符合语境。故选E项。 8.空格处是该部分的主题句。根据下文的内容“This dairy waste can be avoided with packaging technology such as Tetra Pak (利乐包装纸盒), which is commonly used in Europe and Asia to keep milk from spoiling, even without refrigeration. Recycled or not, Tetra Pak is a good environmental bet because it can lengthen the shelf life of milk up to nine months.(使用利乐包等包装技术可以避免这种乳制品浪费。利乐包在欧洲和亚洲通常用于防止牛奶变质,即使没有冷藏。无论回收与否,利乐包都是一个很好的环保选择,因为它可以将牛奶的保质期延长到9个月。)”可知,该部分主要是说利乐包对牛奶的保护作用。所以,A项“Packaging protects milk.(包装保护牛奶。)”填入空格处,可以作为该部分的主题句,符合语境。故填A项。 9.根据空格后的句子“Once again, the environmental benefit of the food-protection technology outweighs the harmful impact of the packaging itself.(再一次,食品保护技术的环境效益超过了包装本身的有害影响。)”可知,空格处的句子应该表明食品保护技术的环境效益超过了包装本身有害影响的事实。所以,F项“It can reduce the need for refrigeration and the amount of milk that goes wasted.(它可以减少对冷藏的需求和浪费的牛奶量。)”填入空格处,符合语境。因为冷藏需要能量,而浪费牛奶也是对环境有害。故选F项。 10.空格后的句子“One example of waste-reducing packaging is the concept project shown from designer Drew Stanley. He designed a peanut butter jar made of a soft material which can be turned inside out and scraped clean, avoiding sticky food sticking to your fingers.(设计师德鲁·斯坦利展示的概念项目就是减少废物包装的一个例子。他设计了一种用柔软材料制成的花生酱罐,可以翻转过来刮干净,避免粘稠的食物粘在手指上。)”提到了设计师Drew Stanley设计了一种新的方式来解决罐装食物的浪费,由此可推知,空格处应与罐装食品造成浪费有关。G项“Food left behind in jars and bottles makes up a surprising amount of waste.(留在罐子和瓶子里的食物造成了惊人的浪费)”填入空格处,符合语境。故选G项。 Passage 3 (23-24高一上·贵州铜仁·期末) The rainforest of the Amazon region of Brazil in South America covers five percent of the world’s land. 11 The area is also the home of 220,000 people from about 180 tribes (部落) who live deep in the forest. The rainforest itself is an important environment but, because of its size and location, it also plays a key part in controlling the world’s climate. However, large areas of the Amazon rainforest have been cut down to make more land for farmers. 12 This is as six football field being opened up every minute. Much of the destruction, which leaves the land dry and dusty, is against the law. 13 Some people use most of the new land to grow soya, which they export to other parts of the world to be used as animal food. Millions of chickens in Western European countries are fed in South American soya beans. Increasingly, some soya beans also begin to be turned into food for humans, because many vegetarian foods are based on soya beans. Other people clear the rainforest to use the land for their cows, to sell the valuable hardwood from trees, or to find more oil. 14 But they are at the expense of the future of the global environment. Deforestation (滥伐森林) destroys ancient forest and changes the world’s climate. 15 They are dependent on the rainforest for everything they need, from food and tools to medicines and shelter. A.Why do people cut down forests? B.There are a number of ways to do this. C.These activities help make more money. D.Besides, it also affects the life of local people. E.It is home to at least 30 percent of the world’s animals and plants. F.How will the Amazon rainforest react to the future climate change? G.In the last few years, 70,000 square kilometers have been destroyed. 【答案】11.E 12.G 13.A 14.C 15.D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了亚马逊的重要作用以及面临森林滥伐的问题。 11.根据上文“The rainforest of the Amazon region of Brazil in South America covers five percent of the world’s land.(南美洲巴西亚马逊地区的热带雨林占世界陆地面积的5%)”以及后文“The area is also the home of 220,000 people from about 180 tribes(部落) who live deep in the forest.(该地区也是生活在森林深处的大约180个部落的22万人的家园)”可知,本句主要是在说明亚马逊地区生物分布情况。故E选项“这里生活着至少世界上30%的动物和植物”符合语境,故选E。 12.根据上文“However, large areas of the Amazon rainforest have been cut down to make more land for farmers.( 然而,为了给农民腾出更多的土地,大片的亚马逊雨林被砍伐了)”以及后文“This is as six football field being opened up every minute.(这相当于每分钟开辟六个足球场)”可知,本句具体说明亚马逊雨林被砍伐的数字。故G选项“在最近几年中,七万平方公里被摧毁”符合语境,故选G。 13.根据后文“Some people use most of the new land to grow soya, which they export to other parts of the world to be used as animal food. Millions of chickens in Western European countries are fed in South American soya beans. Increasingly, some soya beans also begin to be turned into food for humans, because many vegetarian foods are based on soya beans. Other people clear the rainforest to use the land for their cows, to sell the valuable hardwood from trees, or to find more oil.(一些人利用大部分新开垦的土地种植大豆,并将其出口到世界其他地区作为动物食品。西欧国家数以百万计的鸡是用南美大豆喂养的。越来越多的大豆也开始变成人类的食物,因为许多素食都是基于大豆的。还有一些人清理雨林,用这片土地来养牛,出售树上有价值的硬木,或者寻找更多的石油)”可知,下文讲述的是这些新土地的用途,即说明砍伐森林的原因。故A选项“为什么人们砍伐森林呢?”符合语境,故选A。 14.根据后文“But they are at the expense of the future of the global environment.(但这是以全球环境的未来为代价的)”可知,本句与后文构成转折,本句是在说明砍伐森林活动的好处,后文提到是以牺牲全球环境的未来为代价。故C选项“这些活动帮助人们挣更多的钱”符合语境,故选C。 15.根据上文“Deforestation(滥伐森林) destroys ancient forest and changes the world’s climate.(滥伐森林破坏了古代森林,改变了世界气候)”推知,空处承接上文,继续说明滥伐森林的影响。故D选项“而且,他们还影响了当地人民的生活”符合语境,故选D。 主题02 人与社会——人际交往与社会交流 Passage 1 (24-25高一上·河北邯郸·期末)Throughout our lives, we are influenced and taught by many. 1 He was one of the main characters in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Atticus Finch was a man who fought for what he believed in. He always stood up for what was right, not what was popular. This showed me that winning is not the only measure of achievement.

There are several difficulties that language learners often face. Complex Grammar Different languages have their own unique grammatical rules. 6 For example, in English, the order of words in a sentence is important for expressing the correct meaning. However, in Japanese or Russian, the word order can be more flexible (灵活的). This difference can make it difficult for learners to form correct sentences and express themselves accurately (准确地). Pronunciation Challenges Each language has its own set of sounds. For example, the French “r” sound or the German “ü” sound can be extremely difficult for English speakers to pronounce correctly. What’s more, the stress of a language can also affect the meaning of a word or a sentence. 7 Limited Vocabulary Building a large enough vocabulary is necessary for effective language learning. 8 Some languages have a great number of words. Besides, many words may have several meanings or small differences that are difficult to understand. For example, in Chinese, a single character can have different meanings depending on the context. Cultural Differences 9 Idioms (习语), proverbs (谚语), and expressions in a language often show the culture and history of the people who speak it. For example, the English idiom “it’s raining cats and dogs” may not make sense to a learner who doesn’t know much about Western cultures. Few Chances to Practice Learners need regular chances to practise speaking, listening, reading, and writing. However, they may not be able to meet native speakers or stay in a language environment. 10 For example, if a person is learning a language that is not widely spoken in their country, it may be challenging to find practice partners or language learning resources. A.Language is closely related to culture. B.It can be difficult to find chances to practise speaking. C.Mistakes in pronunciation can lead to misunderstandings. D.Learning a new language can be a worthwhile experience. E.However, learning new words can be a slow and hard process. F.This can make it difficult for them to improve their language skills. G.They can be extremely different from those of a learner’s native language. 【答案】6.G 7.C 8.E 9.A 10.F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了学习新语言过程中常见的挑战,包括语法复杂性、发音问题、词汇积累、文化差异以及缺乏练习机会。文章通过具体例子展示了这些困难对语言学习的影响。 6.根据上文“Different languages have their own unique grammatical rules. (不同的语言有自己的独特语法规则)”,可知这里说的是不同语言之间的语法差异。选项G“They can be extremely different from those of a learner’s native language. (它们可能与学习者的母语语法极为不同)”符合语境,故选G项。 7.根据上文“What’s more, the stress of a language can also affect the meaning of a word or a sentence. (此外,语言的重音也会影响单词或句子的意思)”可知,这里讨论的是发音对语言理解的影响。选项C“Mistakes in pronunciation can lead to misunderstandings. (发音错误可能导致误解)”与上文内容紧密相连,故选C项。 8.根据上文“Building a large enough vocabulary is necessary for effective language learning. (建立足够大的词汇量是有效语言学习的必要条件)”以及下文“Some languages have a great number of words. (有些语言有大量的单词)”可知,这里需要表达的是学习新单词的难度。选项E“However, learning new words can be a slow and hard process. (然而,学习新单词可能是一个缓慢而艰难的过程)”符合语境,故选E项。 9.根据下文“Idioms (习语), proverbs (谚语), and expressions in a language often show the culture and history of the people who speak it. (语言中的习语、谚语和表达往往体现了说这种语言的人的文化和历史)”可知,这里讨论的是语言与文化之间的关系。选项A“Language is closely related to culture. (语言与文化密切相关)”与下文内容相呼应,故选A项。 10.根据上文“However, they may not be able to meet native speakers or stay in a language environment. (然而,他们可能无法遇到母语使用者或待在语言环境中)”,可知这里需要表达的是缺乏练习机会对语言学习的影响。选项F“This can make it difficult for them to improve their language skills. (这使得他们很难提高语言技能)”与上文内容紧密相连,故选F项。 Passage 3 (24-25高一上·江苏徐州·期末) Why you should join a study group Studying alone sometimes feels like aimlessly wandering a lonely island.

But in my own opinion, there are different types of success. There is the social success. It has to do with what most people in society think are important, such as falling in love or getting married or having children. 2 So it’s totally okay if someone decides to have their own idea of what success is, even if it’s different from what most people think. 3 It’s about reaching the goals in your job or education. Most of those around me view success as a combination (结合) of making enough money while working on a job that they love. Personally, I think that professional success isn’t only wealth and title, but it’s the value that I bring to other people lives. It’s a smiling face, a greener area and a growing organization. 4 Moreover, there is the personal success. 5 It might be spiritual, or just be comfortable with everything around you. This type of success is just like what Christopher Morley said “There is only one success-to be able to spend your life in your own way”. It just allows us to speak up our mind and follow our hearts. Inside peace leads towards happiness, and this could be a success too! A.There is the professional success. B.Going after success requires hard work. C.But different people have different opinions.

(许多人会认为成功意味着受欢迎、富有和出名。但在我看来,成功有不同的类型。)”可知,上文提到作者一直在思考“成功”对自己的意义,而下文则指出很多人认为的成功的含义。本空应承上启下,表明这是一个普遍存在的问题。F选项“And I believe that this question is common for everyone. (并且我相信这个问题对每个人来说都是常见的。)”能承接上文,符合语境。其中的this question 指代上文关于成功对自己意味着什么的问题,故选F。 2.由上文“There is the social success. It has to do with what most people in society think are important, such as falling in love or getting married or having children. (有社会成功。这与社会上大多数人认为重要的事情有关,比如坠入爱河、结婚或生孩子。)”及下文“So it’s totally okay if someone decides to have their own idea of what success is, even if it’s different from what most people think.

It’s a smiling face, a greener area and a growing organization. (就个人而言,我认为职业成功不仅仅是财富和头衔,而是我给别人的生活带来的价值。它是一张笑脸,一片更绿的区域和一个不断发展的组织。)”可知,本空应强调职业成功带来的价值,D选项“It’s doing what makes me and the world happy. (它是做让我和世界都开心的事情。)”进一步阐述了职业成功的意义,与上文关于职业成功带来的价值相呼应,符合语境。故选D。 5.由上文“Moreover, there is the personal success. (此外,还有个人成功。)”以及下文“It might be spiritual. or just be comfortable with everything around you.

The size of our friendship group remains unchanged. 52% of those faces, though, will be different seven years later. 3 A recent study found that you have to spend 40-60 hours with someone to turn an acquaintance (熟人) into a casual friend. To become a best friend, you spend at least 200 hours of quality time together. 4 You might say “Hi” to a neighbor every morning or be polite to a coworker, but you wouldn’t necessarily invite them over for dinner. But will all the friends get further and further if you are not meeting them? I don’t think so. There are always special ones that don’t disappear because of the time or the distance.

Research shows that there is a connection between leisure and well-being. 2 Mentally engaged? Relaxed? Socially connected? 3 Don’t put a lot of time and money in a new hobby immediately.

Consider attending a class at a university or sign up for a lesson to learn more about a potential hobby. 4 Join a fiction writer group. Fascinated by family history? Take a genealogy (家谱) class. Plenty of e-courses are available free or for a reasonable price. Remove your guilt. When you feel guilty about spending time on leisure, you experience increased symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Sometimes, this means we might say or do something that doesn’t feel right because we want to please someone else. However, it’s important to learn how to be truer to ourselves and become comfortable saying “no”. 11 What is setting boundaries (边界)? Setting boundaries is being honest and respectful about what you like and dislike. 12 At one end, they could be so strict and difficult to change that you avoid getting close to people. At the other, they might be so floppy(松软的)that you put up with mean comments. The middle bit of this range (区间) is the healthy space where you value others’ opinions and you’ re clear on your own values and needs. Why are boundaries important? Setting boundaries allows you to “protect” yourself. They help you feel safe and respected. 13 Because they don’t know or understand what is and isn’t acceptable. Pleasing other people can become a habit and then they expect you to do what they want every time. It’s also important to remember that you don’t have to explain your boundaries — there’s nothing wrong with saying “no”. Other people’s boundaries 14 Everyone’s boundaries vary and that’s OK. The things that are not a big deal to you might be important to others. You might not be too upset about seeing the film your friend picked because you enjoy their company. 15 It’s important to find a balance in our friendships so that we can remain open towards others and protective of ourselves too. A.This is called setting boundaries. B.You can think of boundaries as a range. C.Be clear about what you do and don’t like. D.If you don’t have boundaries, some people may take advantage. E.Another friend might choose not to come due to the film choice. F.You are comfortable saying “no” and you accept “no” from others. G.Learning to set boundaries helps us to respect other people’s boundaries. 【答案】11.A 12.B 13.D 14.G 15.E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了设定个人边界的重要性,以及如何在人际交往中尊重和理解他人的边界。 11.由上文“We all want to be liked. Sometimes, this means we might say or do something that doesn’t feel right because we want to please someone else. However, it’s important to learn how to be truer to ourselves and become comfortable saying “no”. (我们都想被人喜欢。有时,这意味着我们可能会说或做一些感觉不对的事情,因为我们想取悦别人。然而,学会如何更真实地对待自己,并且能够坦然地说“不”,这是很重要的。)”及下文小标题“What is setting boundaries (边界)? (什么是设定边界?)”可知,上文提到要学会说“不”,下文开始介绍设定边界,所以这里需要一个句子来引出设定边界这个概念。A选项“This is called setting boundaries. (这被称为设定边界。)”能够承上启下,符合题意。故选A。 12.由上文“Setting boundaries is being honest and respectful about what you like and dislike. (设定边界就是对你喜欢和不喜欢的东西保持诚实和尊重。)”及下文“At one end, they could be so strict and difficult to change that you avoid getting close to people. At the other, they might be so floppy(松软的)that you put up with mean comments. (一方面,它们可能非常严格且难以改变,以至于你避免与人亲近。另一方面,它们可能非常松散,以至于你会忍受刻薄的评论。)”可知,上文提到设定边界,下文提到边界的两端情况,所以这里需要一个句子来引出边界的范围或程度这个概念。B选项“You can think of boundaries as a range. (你可以把边界想象成一个范围。)”正好对“边界”的概念进行了进一步的解释,其中提到的range能够概括下文的两种极端情况,并引出下文内容,符合题意。故选B。 13.由上文“Setting boundaries allows you to “protect” yourself. They help you feel safe and respected. (设定边界可以让你“保护”自己。它们让你感到安全和受到尊重。)”及下文“Because they don’t know or understand what is and isn’t acceptable. (因为他们不知道或不明白什么是可以接受的,什么是不可以接受的。)”可知,设定边界可以保护自己,让自己感到安全和受到尊重,而下文则提到了有些人不知道或不明白哪些行为是可以接受的,哪些是不可以接受的,本空应说明没有边界可能导致的问题。D选项“If you don’t have boundaries, some people may take advantage. (如果你没有边界,有些人可能会占你便宜。)”能承上启下,符合题意,其中boundaries与上文呼应,some people may take advantage与下文呼应。故选D。 14.由上文“Other people’s boundaries (别人的边界)”可知,上文指出要关注别人的边界,由此可知,本空处应强调学会设定边界与尊重别人的边界的关系。G选项“Learning to set boundaries helps us to respect other people’s boundaries. (学会设定边界有助于我们尊重别人的边界。)”能承接上文,符合题意。故选G。 15.由上文“You might not be too upset about seeing the film your friend picked because you enjoy their company. (你可能不会因为看到朋友选择的电影而太沮丧,因为你喜欢他们的陪伴。)”可知,本空应说明其他人可能有不同的反应。E选项“Another friend might choose not to come due to the film choice. (另一个朋友可能会因为电影的选择而不来。)”能承接上文,符合题意。故选E。 主题03 人与自然——环境保护与自然生态 Passage 1 (23-24高一上·浙江衢州·期末) Four Tips for Using Less Plastic(塑料) As we all know, the world has a plastic problem — and it is increasing. Scientists are working to find along-term solution by making plastic more biodegradable(生物可降解的). 1 Quit using plastic bags. 2 People use a trillion plastic bags worldwide every year About 10 percent a reused in the United States alone. That’s almost one bag per American per day. In contrast, the average Danish uses four single-use bags per year. Today, other countries (such as Germany and New Zealand) either make customers pay for plastic bags or have stopped using them completely. 3 Today, around 8 3 billion plastic straws(吸管) pollute the world’s beaches. So when you order a drink, say no to the straw, or bring your own reusable one. In 2018, Seattle became the first major U. S. city to ban plastic straws, and many other cities are set to follow its example. Don’t use plastic bottles. Buy a reusable bottle and fill it with any type of drink you like. Some cities, like Bundanoon in Australia and San Francisco in the U. S., have completely or partially(部分地) started quitting bottled water 4 . Avoid plastic packaging. Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Don’t buy fruit or vegetables in plastic packaging. 5 They also want to tax plastic take out containers. A.Don’t use plastic straws. B.Don’t pollute the beaches. C.Instead, take your own reusable shopping bag to the store. D.Therefore, pollution has been largely decreased across the world. E.In the U. K., leaders are calling for supermarkets to have plastic-free areas. F.Globally, however, people still buy nearly a million plastic bottles every minute.

And clothing with broken zippers or missing buttons can be repaired and worn again. But what do you do when your favorite shirt is too torn to wear or your socks have too many holes? Every year in the UK, 336, 000 tons of unwanted old clothing and shoes are thrown out and sent to landfills (废物填埋场), according to Recycle Now. 6 So, instead of throwing away these old clothes, try one of these eco-friendly ways to give them a second chance. One of the best ways to deal with unwanted clothing is to make it into something completely different. You can use pieces of old cloth as filling for pillows. 7 Another very good way to reuse old textiles (纺织品) made of cotton like T-shirts is to cut the clothing up and use it as cleaning cloths around your home. 8 And they are greener than using microfiber cleaning towels that drop fibers when washed. Besides, animal shelters are always looking for used towels and blankets to keep their animals warm. 9 And while you are throwing away your textiles, remember that shelters could use donations of unopened pet food and things too. 10 Green Life is one of them. For a small fee, Green Life will ship you a bag that can be filled with up to 25 pounds of used clothing and sent to the company for reuse. When the bag is received, the sender receives a small amount of money to be used on the company’s website. Everything Green Life sells is made of recycled fibers. A.You can bring your clothing to Green Life. B.Or you can turn something you like into a doll. C.So you can donate your unwanted clothing to such places. D.Some clothing companies have their own recycling services. E.The cleaning cloths can be washed and reused, unlike paper towels.

In the first few months after they are born, they “wander” in the open sea. When the baby clownfish grow big enough to swim, they hurry home. They can’t see the reef, however. 11 But humans—and their ships, speedboats, energy exploration platforms and even surfing—have made the ocean an unbearably noisy place. 12 In the case of baby clownfish, they make them unable to find their way home. 13 There are still many other sea animals depending on their ability to hear for their survival. They use sounds to sense their environment and to communicate. Dolphins call one another by unique names. Toadfish hum. Whales sing. Many sea animals swim away from the noises. 14 But slow-moving animals like sea cucumbers (海参) are left helpless. In some places, human-made noises are everywhere. Animals have to permanently move away from these noises to quieter places. They are then forced to compete against others for the same pools of resources. Over time, their populations start to become smaller. Luckily, the noise is a controllable pollutant. “We know exactly what causes the noise, we know where it is and we know how to stop it” said Steve Simpson, a biologist in England. 15 Wind-powered boats have been developed. Shipping routes can also be moved away from certain areas. Researchers are calling for stricter rules. “We have noise standards for cars and trucks,” said Carlos Duarte, another biologist. “Why should we not have them for ships?” A.Clownfish are not the only ones to suffer. B.Many solutions to this problem already exist. C.Some animals could swim fast to catch food. D.These noises are often louder than the natural ones. E.Instead, they depend on the small noises that a reef lets out. F.Whales, for example, can learn to avoid busy shipping routes. G.Actually, the ocean has always been home to many clownfish. 【答案】11.E 12.D 13.A 14.F 15.B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了人类的活动产生了大量的噪音,导致海洋生物陷入危险,而问题的许多解决方案已经存在,我们应该执行它们。 11.根据前文“When the baby clownfish grow big enough to swim, they hurry home. They can’t see the reef, however.(当小丑鱼宝宝长到能游泳时,它们就匆忙回家。然而,他们看不到珊瑚礁)”可知,此处在说小丑鱼长大后会回到珊瑚礁,但是它们不能看到珊瑚礁,所以空处应说明,它们是如何找到珊瑚礁,E项“Instead, they depend on the small noises that a reef lets out.(相反,它们依赖于珊瑚礁发出的微小噪音)”符合文意,上下文是替代关系。故选E项。 12.根据前文“But humans—and their ships, speedboats, energy exploration platforms and even surfing—have made the ocean an unbearably noisy place.(但人类——以及他们的船只、快艇、能源勘探平台,甚至冲浪——已经使海洋变成了一个令人难以忍受的嘈杂之地)”和下文“In the case of baby clownfish, they make them unable to find their way home.(以小丑鱼宝宝为例,它们让它们找不到回家的路。)”可知,本段在讲述人类活动产生的噪音影响让海洋变成了嘈杂之地,小丑鱼都不能听到珊瑚礁发出的微小声音,找到回家的路,所以D项“These noises are often louder than the natural ones.(这些声音通常比自然声音更大)”符合文意。承上启下。故选D项。 13.根据后文“There are still many other sea animals depending on their ability to hear for their survival. They use sounds to sense their environment and to communicate.(还有许多其他海洋动物依靠它们的听觉生存。它们用声音来感知环境并进行交流)”可知,本段主要讲述了还有其他海洋生物遭受噪音的影响,所以A项“Clownfish are not the only ones to suffer.(小丑鱼并不是唯一的受害者)”符合文意,承接上文“In the case of baby clownfish, they make them unable to find their way home.(以小丑鱼为例,它们让它们找不到回家的路。)”。故选A项。 14.根据前文“Many sea animals swim away from the noises.(许多海洋动物为了躲避噪音而游开)”以及后文“But slow-moving animals like sea cucumbers are left helpless.(但像海参这样行动缓慢的动物却束手无策)”可知,此处是在讲述,许多海洋动物会躲避噪音,并举例,所以F项“Whales, for example, can learn to avoid busy shipping routes.(例如,鲸鱼可以学会避开繁忙的航线)”符合文意,与下文海参因为行动缓慢无法躲避噪音是转折关系,But是关键词。故选F项。 15.根据前文“Luckily, the noise is a controllable pollutant. “We know exactly what causes the noise, we know where it is and we know how to stop it” said Steve Simpson, a biologist in England.(幸运的是,噪音是一种可控的污染物。英国生物学家史蒂夫·辛普森说:“我们确切地知道是什么引起了噪音,我们知道它在哪里,我们知道如何阻止它。”)”以及后文“Wind-powered boats have been developed. Shipping routes can also be moved away from certain areas.(风力船已经开发出来。航线也可以从某些地区移开)”可知,本段是在讲防治噪音污染的方法,且这些方法已经存在,所以B项“Many solutions to this problem already exist.(这个问题的许多解决方案已经存在)”符合文意。故选B项。 / 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $ 专题05 七选五阅读 主题01 人与自然——环境保护与生态平衡 Passage 1 (24-25高一上·贵州黔西·期末) All kinds of pollution and waste are doing harm to the earth. 1 . So everyone can do something to help the environment. Here are a few ideas. Save energy. First of all, turn off the unused lights in time and consider using energy-saving light bulbs (灯泡), which can save much electricity. 2 . For example, you can take shorter showers. Also, turning off the tap as you brush your teeth can save much water, too. 3 . If the place you want to go is not far away, please ride a bike instead of driving a car. Riding seems to be a better choice, because it can help cut down the air pollution. You can also choose public transportation, such as taking a bus or subway. Say no to waste. 4 . Don’t take more than you can eat. Growing food needs much work. Moreover, get long life out of things you own by taking good care of them. If something is broken, don’t just throw it away. You can try to fix it or use it to make something else. Use reusable things. When you go shopping, don’t use a paper gift bag, because it is not environmentally friendly. Disposable (一次性的) plastic and paper bags can pollute oceans and the soil. They are hard to break down. 5 A.Then use less water B.Choose green travel C.You should eat less food D.Ride a bike to school or work every day E.A reusable cloth bag will be a wise choice F.However, small steps add up to make a big difference G.The easiest step you should take is to avoid wasting food Passage 2 (24-25高一上·河北保定·期末)People hate packaging. And, yes, there’s a lot of bad and wasteful packaging out there. 6 When it comes to protecting and dispensing (分发) food, the right package can greatly reduce waste. Here are a few examples. Packaging keeps the meat fresh. We throw away a fifth of the beef we buy — the equivalent (等量) of 8 million cows each year — often because it goes bad before we cook it. The solution? 7 Case-ready packaging can lengthen that shelf life to up to 21 days. If the meat you bought isn’t going to be eaten within a few days, case-ready packaging is the better choice for the environment. 8 This dairy waste can be avoided with packaging technology such as Tetra Pak (利乐包装纸盒), which is commonly used in Europe and Asia to keep milk from spoiling, even without refrigeration. Recycled or not, Tetra Pak is a good environmental bet because it can lengthen the shelf life of milk up to nine months. 9 Once again, the environmental benefit of the food-protection technology outweighs the harmful impact of the packaging itself. Packaging Fixes Sticky Situations. 10 One example of waste-reducing packaging is the concept project shown from designer Drew Stanley. He designed a peanut butter jar made of a soft material which can be turned inside out and scraped (刮掉) clean, avoiding sticky food sticking to your fingers. A.Packaging protects milk. B.Using Tetra Pak packaging. C.But packaging isn’t always the enemy. D.We should pay attention to the rubbish produced by packaging. E.Scientists have developed packaging that can keep refrigerated meat fresh for weeks. F.It can reduce the need for refrigeration and the amount of milk that goes wasted. G.Food left behind in jars and bottles makes up a surprising amount of waste. Passage 3 (23-24高一上·贵州铜仁·期末) The rainforest of the Amazon region of Brazil in South America covers five percent of the world’s land. 11 The area is also the home of 220,000 people from about 180 tribes (部落) who live deep in the forest. The rainforest itself is an important environment but, because of its size and location, it also plays a key part in controlling the world’s climate. However, large areas of the Amazon rainforest have been cut down to make more land for farmers. 12 This is as six football field being opened up every minute. Much of the destruction, which leaves the land dry and dusty, is against the law. 13 Some people use most of the new land to grow soya, which they export to other parts of the world to be used as animal food. Millions of chickens in Western European countries are fed in South American soya beans. Increasingly, some soya beans also begin to be turned into food for humans, because many vegetarian foods are based on soya beans. Other people clear the rainforest to use the land for their cows, to sell the valuable hardwood from trees, or to find more oil. 14 But they are at the expense of the future of the global environment. Deforestation (滥伐森林) destroys ancient forest and changes the world’s climate. 15 They are dependent on the rainforest for everything they need, from food and tools to medicines and shelter. A.Why do people cut down forests? B.There are a number of ways to do this. C.These activities help make more money. D.Besides, it also affects the life of local people. E.It is home to at least 30 percent of the world’s animals and plants. F.How will the Amazon rainforest react to the future climate change? G.In the last few years, 70,000 square kilometers have been destroyed. 主题02 人与社会——人际交往与社会交流 Passage 1 (24-25高一上·河北邯郸·期末)Throughout our lives, we are influenced and taught by many. 1 He was one of the main characters in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Atticus Finch was a man who fought for what he believed in. He always stood up for what was right, not what was popular. This showed me that winning is not the only measure of achievement. He believed that being successful was only to try to do something for a good cause. Even if you lose what you were fighting for, you are still successful because you fought for what was right. 2 Atticus strongly believed in humanism. He had raised his kids to be respectful to all races. He believed that all men were created equal and blacks shouldn’t be created badly. 3 For example, today people of many different backgrounds are friendly to each other. They contribute so much to the world they live in. 4 He loved his family with all his heart and would do anything for them. I love my family very much and my parents put a lot of time and effort into raising me to become someone who would never give up on something that’s important to me. Atticus Finch taught me so much throughout the book, like how to love your family and treat others equally, how to make myself stronger and never give up. 5 And I would do all that I can to make myself a better person and reach my goal and value. A.I would also like to be one like him. B.I had entered for competitive races myself. C.Here, Atticus taught me that equality comes first. D.The author is the one who has achieved great success. E.Family was always something that Atticus took pride in. F.Atticus Finch was a person who showed and taught me a lot. G.This touched me and taught me to be never discouraged when I lose. Passage 2 (24-25高一上·福建福州·期末) Learning a new language is an exciting but challenging journey. There are several difficulties that language learners often face. Complex Grammar Different languages have their own unique grammatical rules. 6 For example, in English, the order of words in a sentence is important for expressing the correct meaning. However, in Japanese or Russian, the word order can be more flexible (灵活的). This difference can make it difficult for learners to form correct sentences and express themselves accurately (准确地). Pronunciation Challenges Each language has its own set of sounds. For example, the French “r” sound or the German “ü” sound can be extremely difficult for English speakers to pronounce correctly. What’s more, the stress of a language can also affect the meaning of a word or a sentence. 7 Limited Vocabulary Building a large enough vocabulary is necessary for effective language learning. 8 Some languages have a great number of words. Besides, many words may have several meanings or small differences that are difficult to understand. For example, in Chinese, a single character can have different meanings depending on the context. Cultural Differences 9 Idioms (习语), proverbs (谚语), and expressions in a language often show the culture and history of the people who speak it. For example, the English idiom “it’s raining cats and dogs” may not make sense to a learner who doesn’t know much about Western cultures. Few Chances to Practice Learners need regular chances to practise speaking, listening, reading, and writing. However, they may not be able to meet native speakers or stay in a language environment. 10 For example, if a person is learning a language that is not widely spoken in their country, it may be challenging to find practice partners or language learning resources. A.Language is closely related to culture. B.It can be difficult to find chances to practise speaking. C.Mistakes in pronunciation can lead to misunderstandings. D.Learning a new language can be a worthwhile experience. E.However, learning new words can be a slow and hard process. F.This can make it difficult for them to improve their language skills. G.They can be extremely different from those of a learner’s native language. Passage 3 (24-25高一上·江苏徐州·期末) Why you should join a study group Studying alone sometimes feels like aimlessly wandering a lonely island. You start to feel burnt out and run out of fresh ideas. However, studying in groups can change this situation. 11 It makes learning fun It can be boring and tiring to study long hours alone. 12 So join a study group and liven up your study sessions. 13 Since everyone has individual talents and unique insights, group members can learn from each other.

But in my own opinion, there are different types of success. There is the social success. It has to do with what most people in society think are important, such as falling in love or getting married or having children. 2 So it’s totally okay if someone decides to have their own idea of what success is, even if it’s different from what most people think. 3 It’s about reaching the goals in your job or education. Most of those around me view success as a combination (结合) of making enough money while working on a job that they love. Personally, I think that professional success isn’t only wealth and title, but it’s the value that I bring to other people lives. It’s a smiling face, a greener area and a growing organization. 4 Moreover, there is the personal success. 5 It might be spiritual, or just be comfortable with everything around you. This type of success is just like what Christopher Morley said “There is only one success-to be able to spend your life in your own way”. It just allows us to speak up our mind and follow our hearts. Inside peace leads towards happiness, and this could be a success too! A.There is the professional success. B.Going after success requires hard work. C.But different people have different opinions. D.It’s doing what makes me and the world happy. E.This is why we have to choose our own success. F.And I believe that this question is common for everyone. G.It is to be truly happy, and being at peace with ourselves.

Avoid studying in noisy places or using your phone. A good study space helps you stay focused. Experiment with different settings to find what works best for you. ● Take regular breaks.

Learning to wait patiently, however, will help you deal with everyday life and be more comfortable taking long and unexpected waits calmly and easily. Occupy your time. One of the best ways to avoid becoming anxious during a long wait is to do something else at the same time to occupy you. 12 . You can cope with this by filling this time with another activity like answering some emails. Wait with other people. There is evidence which suggests that waiting for something with other people can help the time pass quicker. 13 , talking about what they are waiting for and sharing their excitement in a positive way. 14 . If you have a very long wait for something, it can help to break it up into smaller chunks. Identifying short term goals and focusing on achieving these rather than the final end goal can help you to avoid becoming impatient. Setting small goals that you can achieve can help you to feel like you are taking control of your life, while also distracting you from the long wait that you cannot do anything to shorten. Don’t try too hard. Finding ways to distract yourself is a tried and tested way of keeping impatience at bay and helping time pass. Research has suggested, however, trying to force yourself not to feel anxious can bring about even greater anxiety. 15 , and there is nothing you can do about it. A.Break up a long wait. B.Accept that you will have to wait. C.Look for a more positive engagement. D.The point is that the people are engaging with each other. E.This won’t always be practical, depending on the situation.

And each time I move to a new place, it seems to get harder and harder to keep the friendships I left behind. But right now, keeping those friendships seems especially important. 1 How can I maintain those friendships? According to one study, friendships often disappear for lack of opportunity to meet, hang out and connect. 2 But actually, things are not as discouraging as sounds. The size of our friendship group remains unchanged. 52% of those faces, though, will be different seven years later. 3 A recent study found that you have to spend 40-60 hours with someone to turn an acquaintance (熟人) into a casual friend. To become a best friend, you spend at least 200 hours of quality time together. 4 You might say “Hi” to a neighbor every morning or be polite to a coworker, but you wouldn’t necessarily invite them over for dinner. But will all the friends get further and further if you are not meeting them? I don’t think so. There are always special ones that don’t disappear because of the time or the distance. They will be there for you if you need them. 5 A.Making new friends takes time. B.And time will show you who cares. C.And the focus here is on quality time. D.So I’m wondering what is manageable? E.Is there a way to follow for making new friends? F.And we lose half of our friends every seven years. G.I don’t think there’s a secret to keeping friendships, either. Passage 2 (23-24高一上·福建·期末) Being a teenager is hard. You’re trying to grow into an adult and are facing new challenges every day. 6 Remember that your feelings are normal and everyone struggles with self-confidence at youth. You can take some steps to improve your confidence by applying confident body language. Make eye contact. Making eye contact with another person is a great way to show confidence. People will treat you with more respect if you are able to look them in the eyes. 7 That can make the other person feel uncomfortable. Stay visible (引人注目的). Never hide behind your hair or curl up (蜷缩) in a ball. Confident people have body language that presents they deserve(值得) to be there. So keep your hair off your face. 8 Besides, you should sit tall. Make sure you’re sitting up straight with your head up. Keep Smiling. A sincere smile makes you look better and friendlier, but did you know it also helps you feel better? Studies have found that even forcing yourself to smile can lighten your mood. 9 Smiling makes you look more comfortable, and can even make you more memorable. Being a teenager is not an easy time. You are forming your identity and learning about the world… and so is everybody else! Take confidence in the fact that your feelings and struggles are normal. 10 A.Put your hands in your lap or on your desk. B.But you don’t need to fix your eyes on them.

Keep in regular contact with them, so that they can get a better understanding of what upsets you and what makes you happy. 14 And it’s hard for them to discuss things that can attract your interest and develop the relationship between you and themselves. 15 They grow up in a different generation with different technologies and ways of thinking. Think about how these differences may contribute to problems in your relationship. See if they can recall any problem in their relationships with their parents that is due to these generational differences.

But where do you start? 1 Ask yourself how you want to feel. Hobbies present an escape. They can help you get out of your head and calm down. Research shows that there is a connection between leisure and well-being. 2 Mentally engaged? Relaxed? Socially connected? 3 Don’t put a lot of time and money in a new hobby immediately. If you’re wondering whether paint-balling might be a good fit, join an outing or two with a local Meet-up group. Or sign up for a one-time pottery class rather than a set of eight. Keep an open mind. Don’t ignore potential hobbies. Humans are wired to be curious and open. So next time someone hands you a flier (传单) or invites you to tag along to an event, seize the opportunity. It would introduce you to something you never guessed you’d love. Go back to school. Consider attending a class at a university or sign up for a lesson to learn more about a potential hobby. 4 Join a fiction writer group. Fascinated by family history? Take a genealogy (家谱) class. Plenty of e-courses are available free or for a reasonable price. Remove your guilt. When you feel guilty about spending time on leisure, you experience increased symptoms of depression and anxiety. Give yourself permission to do something that you like and keep in mind that if a hobby makes you happier and healthier, everyone around you will benefit. 5 A.Start small. B.Take up a new hobby. C.Always dreamed of writing a novel? D.Ask yourself how you want an activity to make you feel. E.The following are some reasons why you should have a hobby. F.Here’s how to discover the hobbies you don’t yet know you’ll love. G.So why not see discovering new hobbies as an adventure and enjoy the process?

Sometimes, this means we might say or do something that doesn’t feel right because we want to please someone else. However, it’s important to learn how to be truer to ourselves and become comfortable saying “no”. 11 What is setting boundaries (边界)? Setting boundaries is being honest and respectful about what you like and dislike. 12 At one end, they could be so strict and difficult to change that you avoid getting close to people. At the other, they might be so floppy(松软的)that you put up with mean comments. The middle bit of this range (区间) is the healthy space where you value others’ opinions and you’ re clear on your own values and needs. Why are boundaries important? Setting boundaries allows you to “protect” yourself. They help you feel safe and respected. 13 Because they don’t know or understand what is and isn’t acceptable. Pleasing other people can become a habit and then they expect you to do what they want every time. It’s also important to remember that you don’t have to explain your boundaries — there’s nothing wrong with saying “no”. Other people’s boundaries 14 Everyone’s boundaries vary and that’s OK. The things that are not a big deal to you might be important to others.

Scientists are working to find along-term solution by making plastic more biodegradable(生物可降解的). 1 Quit using plastic bags. 2 People use a trillion plastic bags worldwide every year About 10 percent a reused in the United States alone. That’s almost one bag per American per day. In contrast, the average Danish uses four single-use bags per year. Today, other countries (such as Germany and New Zealand) either make customers pay for plastic bags or have stopped using them completely. 3 Today, around 8 3 billion plastic straws(吸管) pollute the world’s beaches. So when you order a drink, say no to the straw, or bring your own reusable one. In 2018, Seattle became the first major U. S. city to ban plastic straws, and many other cities are set to follow its example. Don’t use plastic bottles. Buy a reusable bottle and fill it with any type of drink you like. Some cities, like Bundanoon in Australia and San Francisco in the U. S., have completely or partially(部分地) started quitting bottled water 4 . Avoid plastic packaging. Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Don’t buy fruit or vegetables in plastic packaging. 5 They also want to tax plastic take out containers. A.Don’t use plastic straws. B.Don’t pollute the beaches. C.Instead, take your own reusable shopping bag to the store. D.Therefore, pollution has been largely decreased across the world. E.In the U. K., leaders are calling for supermarkets to have plastic-free areas. F.Globally, however, people still buy nearly a million plastic bottles every minute. G.But in the meantime, here are four things you can do to reduce plastic waste now. Passage 2 (23-24高一上·广东江门·期末) Used clothing that you no longer wear can be donated to charities. And clothing with broken zippers or missing buttons can be repaired and worn again. But what do you do when your favorite shirt is too torn to wear or your socks have too many holes? Every year in the UK, 336, 000 tons of unwanted old clothing and shoes are thrown out and sent to landfills (废物填埋场), according to Recycle Now. 6 So, instead of throwing away these old clothes, try one of these eco-friendly ways to give them a second chance. One of the best ways to deal with unwanted clothing is to make it into something completely different. You can use pieces of old cloth as filling for pillows. 7 Another very good way to reuse old textiles (纺织品) made of cotton like T-shirts is to cut the clothing up and use it as cleaning cloths around your home. 8 And they are greener than using microfiber cleaning towels that drop fibers when washed. Besides, animal shelters are always looking for used towels and blankets to keep their animals warm. 9 And while you are throwing away your textiles, remember that shelters could use donations of unopened pet food and things too. 10 Green Life is one of them. For a small fee, Green Life will ship you a bag that can be filled with up to 25 pounds of used clothing and sent to the company for reuse. When the bag is received, the sender receives a small amount of money to be used on the company’s website. Everything Green Life sells is made of recycled fibers. A.You can bring your clothing to Green Life. B.Or you can turn something you like into a doll. C.So you can donate your unwanted clothing to such places. D.Some clothing companies have their own recycling services. E.The cleaning cloths can be washed and reused, unlike paper towels. F.Check to see whether certain items you are throwing out can be donated. G.This leads to greenhouse gases and allows chemicals to get into the soil. Passage 3 (23-24高一上·福建三明·期末) Clownfish like to live in coral reefs, but they don’t spend their whole lives there. In the first few months after they are born, they “wander” in the open sea. When the baby clownfish grow big enough to swim, they hurry home. They can’t see the reef, however. 11 But humans—and their ships, speedboats, energy exploration platforms and even surfing—have made the ocean an unbearably noisy place. 12 In the case of baby clownfish, they make them unable to find their way home. 13 There are still many other sea animals depending on their ability to hear for their survival. They use sounds to sense their environment and to communicate. Dolphins call one another by unique names. Toadfish hum. Whales sing. Many sea animals swim away from the noises. 14 But slow-moving animals like sea cucumbers (海参) are left helpless. In some places, human-made noises are everywhere. Animals have to permanently move away from these noises to quieter places. They are then forced to compete against others for the same pools of resources. Over time, their populations start to become smaller. Luckily, the noise is a controllable pollutant. “We know exactly what causes the noise, we know where it is and we know how to stop it” said Steve Simpson, a biologist in England. 15 Wind-powered boats have been developed. Shipping routes can also be moved away from certain areas. Researchers are calling for stricter rules. “We have noise standards for cars and trucks,” said Carlos Duarte, another biologist. “Why should we not have them for ships?” A.Clownfish are not the only ones to suffer. B.Many solutions to this problem already exist. C.Some animals could swim fast to catch food. D.These noises are often louder than the natural ones. E.Instead, they depend on the small noises that a reef lets out. F.Whales, for example, can learn to avoid busy shipping routes. G.Actually, the ocean has always been home to many clownfish. / 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
