UNIT 6　Survival Ⅰ.阅读理解 　　（2025·绍兴一模）Whales are celebrated for being the largest and most intelligent creatures in the ocean.Now， biologists have discovered that they also capture tons of carbon from the atmosphere， a service with an economic value of $1 trillion for all the great whales， according to a new study published by the International Monetary Fund.The study points out that protecting whales， normally viewed as a human good， also has a monetary motivation. 　　“The carbon capture potential of whales is truly incredible，” said the report.“Our conservative estimates put the value of the average great whale at more than $2 million， and easily over $1 trillion for the current stock of great whales.” Whales absorb carbon in their bodies during their long lives， some of which stretch to 200 years.When they die， they sink to the bottom of the ocean， taking the carbon with them.According to the study， each great whale traps around 33 tons of carbon dioxide on average.A tree during the same period only contributes to 3 per cent of the carbon absorption of the whale. 　　Whale populations are today a smidgen of what they once were.It is estimated that there are slightly more than 1.3 million whales in the ocean， a quarter of their pre-whaling number of 4 to 5 million.Some species in particular， like the blue whale， are only 3 per cent of what they used to be.“We can create financial methods to promote the restoration of the world’s whale populations，” said the report’s authors.“Rewards could help those who pay significant costs as a result of whale protection.” 　　With the Paris Agreement coming into force and the effects of climate change ever more widespread， we must prevent the harm to whales.Researchers analyzed that unless new methods are put forward， it would take over 30 years to double the number of current whales， and several generations to return them to their pre-whaling numbers.“Society and our own survival can’t afford to wait this long，” they said. 1.What does the new study reveal about whales？（　　） A.They are money-makers for good. B.Their intelligence is unquestionable. C.They are a natural climate solution. D.Their survival is threatened by carbon. 2.Why is a whale compared with a tree in Paragraph 2？（　　） A.To indicate all matter regarding green efforts. B.To illustrate whales are friendly to the oceans. C.To highlight whales’ carbon capture potential. D.To emphasize the importance of tree planting. 3.What can be inferred from what researchers said in Paragraph 4？（　　） A.Climate change intensifies. B.Whale populations stay low. C.Our survival is endangered. D.Whale protection is a priority. 4.What is the most suitable title for the article？（　　） A.Protect Whales to Protect the Planet B.How to Restore Whale Populations C.Live in Harmony with Ocean Giants D.Whales Can Guarantee Our Survival Ⅱ.完形填空 　　（2025·惠州调研）Kathy Xu， a high school teacher， had always wanted to see a shark in the wild.The opportunity finally 　5　 in 2011， when she went on a snorkelling trip to the Ningaloo Reef.She was so inspired by its beauty and grace that tears 　6　 to her eyes. 　　After returning home， Xu learned about the shark trade 　7　 at one of Indonesia’s largest fish markets， on the island of Lombok.Shark parts including meat， cartilage （软骨） and teeth are cut up for export.The most prized are the fins， which 　8　 high prices. 　　Curious， Xu 　9　 her bags and headed to the fish market.There， she spoke with several fishermen.Shark fishing is 　10　 risky and involves hard physical work， but it is one of few ways for them to 　11　 for their families.“I told them I’d pay them to take 　12　 out to see these snorkelling havens，” she said.Together， Xu and the fishermen came up with the idea of snorkelling boat trips， and a deal was 　13　. 　　In late 2012， Xu 　14　 her full-time job to focus on building The Dorsal Effect， an ecotourism business she hoped would help save the declining shark 　15　.
