主题语境——海洋探索 专项训练 训练1 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Ⅰ 阅读理解 A Don’t call Madison Stewart an environmentalist. She sees herself simply as an individual taking action in defence of something she loves that’s in need of protection. Despite her youth, the 24-year-old is an undersea veteran (老手). She grew up sailing around the Great Barrier Reef on her parents’ boat and spent her early life free diving while patiently waiting for the day when she could get her scuba diving (水肺潜水) certification, aged 12. Already impressed by sharks, Madison was pleased to be able to observe them in their own world. “I got to know the sharks…I could recognize them by sight,” Madison says. “Other people had dogs around them growing up. I had sharks.” But within a couple of years, she saw a great reduction in shark numbers on the reef. “One day I went in the water and couldn’t find my sharks anywhere, sharks I’d spent my childhood with,” she says. “They’d been caught and killed.” It was a great moment for Madison. She left school at 14 to be homeschooled so she could spend more time in the ocean. She taught herself to shoot underwater videos to document sharks in their own world and shared her sense of wonder with others. She launched a YouTube channel and built a huge following for her documentaries where she focuses on issues like inadequate protection for some shark species and the global shark fin (鳍) industry. In 2014 Madison was the subject of the encouraging documentary Shark Girl, which introduced her to a global audience. In 2017 she appeared as an “Ocean Guardian” in the documentary Blue that explored a lot of threats to the world’s marine environments, including the damaging effect of the global shark fishery. The film encourages viewers to get involved and includes practical steps to guide them to do so. It shows Madison’s philosophy that the power of the individual to make a difference by their own direct action should never be underestimated. (　)1.What did Madison do before getting her scuba diving certification? A.She went sailing often. B.She went boating alone. C.She practised free diving. D.She protected the Great Barrier Reef. (　)2.Why did Madison shoot underwater videos to document sharks? A.To record sharks’ world of wonder. B.To popularize her photography works. C.To raise awareness of shark conservation. D.To spare more time to accompany sharks. (　)3.Which of the following may agree with Madison’s philosophy? A.Many hands make light work. B.Actions speak louder than words. C.Together we can make a difference. D.Personal influence can’t be ignored. (　)4.What’s the purpose of writing this passage? A.To introduce an influential conservationist. B.To advertise some encouraging documentaries. C.To inspire people to protect whatever they love. D.To inform people how to preserve marine wildlife. B For the first time, United Nations members have agreed on a unified treaty (协议) to protect biodiversity on the high seas, representing a turning point for vast stretches of the planet where conservation has previously been held back by a confusing patchwork (拼凑) of laws. The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea came into force in 1994, before marine biodiversity was a well-established concept. An updated framework to protect marine life in the regions outside national boundary waters, known as the high seas, had been in discussions for more than 20 years, but previous efforts to reach an agreement had repeatedly failed. The unified treaty, which applies to nearly half the planet’s surface, was reached late on Saturday. UN Secretary-General António Guterres welcomes the finalization of the text of the United Nations Ocean Treaty, his spokesman said on Saturday. “This breakthrough, which covers nearly two-thirds of the ocean, marks the culmination of nearly two decades of work and builds on the legacy (遗产) of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,” a statement said. Nichola Clark, an ocean expert at the Pew Charitable Trusts called the long-awaited treaty text “a once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect the oceans—a major win for biodiversity”. The treaty will create a new body to manage the conservation of ocean life and establish marine-protected areas on the high seas. Clark said that’s critical to achieving the UN Biodiversity Conference’s recent promise to protect 30 percent of the planet’s waters, for conservation. The treaty also establishes ground rules for conducting environmental impact assessments for commercial activities in the oceans. Treaty negotiations were initially expected to conclude on Friday, but stretched through the night into Saturday. The making of the treaty represents “a historic and overwhelming success for international marine protection”, said Steffi Lemke, Germany’s environment minister. (　)5.What can we learn about the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea? A.It is the basis of the UN Ocean Treaty. B.It leads to a lot of controversy. C.It has been discussed for over 20 years. D.It is a complete failure. (　)6.Which of the following could replace the underlined word “culmination” in Paragraph 3? A.Beginning. B.Impact. C.End. D.Break. (　)7.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A.Commercial ocean activities will be monitored. B.Preservation of 30% of the planet will be ensured. C.Protected areas on the high seas will be expanded. D.An existing department will manage the conservation. (　)8.Why is the making of the UN Ocean Treaty recognized as a historic success? A.It takes tough and long negotiations. B.The high seas are stressed for the first time. C.Unity in protecting the high seas is achieved. D.The concept of marine biodiversity is established. Ⅱ 阅读七选五 There has been a very serious decline in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result of overfishing. People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic. 1.　　　  Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to survive. Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent. 2.　　　　 Many species could disappear completely if the present trend continues. These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years.  The problem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years. Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years. 3.　　　　 The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.  4.　　　　 The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardines and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.  The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment. Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry. 5.　　　　 Measures must be taken to not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security.  A.Billions of people rely on fish for protein. B.Many people now choose not to eat deep-sea fish. C.Unfortunately, their reproduction rate is very low. D.This puts them in the category of “critically endangered”. E.None of these facts has been taken into account by the fishing industry. F.Overfishing is a major cause of decline in populations of ocean wildlife. G.This has resulted in a sharp decline in the numbers of many of the species caught.

I said yes. My whole family, minus one of my sisters, would be going. On the day we left I was excited to go on the trip. As soon as we got there, I unpacked all the things I had in the bedroom. My bedroom was small and had two bunk beds on either side of the room. The room made me feel like I was in someone’s grandma’s house. It was late by the time we got to the house, so I went to bed quickly. The next morning I got up and my dad said that we would board the boat for just something to do. As we were in the car, I noticed that it was raining pretty hard outside. Just then another boat approached us. A man with heavy beard shouted at us, claiming that it was not a good day for boating. He warned us to go back, but we thought nothing of it. The boat was pretty nice. It had a covering over the front side of the boat and seats in the back. We got out to the water, and the waves started to pick up a little. As we got out to the water a little farther I thought to myself, “Wouldn’t it be funny if the boat starts sinking?” Apparently, my thought was starting to come into reality, as the waves started picking up even more. I looked at my sister with a worried look on my face. She also looked worried. The boat started tipping more as the waves spilled into the boat. My sister and I started screaming. I looked at my dad and he had a worried look on his face too. That was how I knew that things were getting worse. My dad usually never gets worried about these sorts of things. The water was about knee-high on my sister and me. The boat kept rocking from side to side. 注意:续写词数应为150个左右。 Paragraph 1: My sister was crying and my mum was yelling at us to put our life jackets on. 　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  Paragraph 2: I thought I was going to die. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  答案 训练1 ⅠA 文章大意： 这是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了海洋守护者麦迪逊为了保护鲨鱼所做的努力。她参与拍摄的纪录片也鼓励人们参与到保护鲨鱼的行动中。 1.C　 细节理解题。根据第二段“She grew up sailing around the Great Barrier Reef on her parents’ boat and spent her early life free diving while patiently waiting for the day when she could get her scuba diving (水肺潜水) certification, aged 12.”可知,麦迪逊在获得水肺潜水证书之前练习自由潜水。故选C。 2.C　 推理判断题。根据第四段“She taught herself to shoot underwater videos to document sharks in their own world and shared her sense of wonder with others. She launched a YouTube channel and built a huge following for her documentaries where she focuses on issues like inadequate protection for some shark species and the global shark fin (鳍) industry.”可推知,她拍摄水下视频记录鲨鱼是为了提升人们保护鲨鱼的意识。故选C。 3.D　 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It shows Madison’s philosophy that the power of the individual to make a difference by their own direct action should never be underestimated.”可知,麦迪逊认为个人改变世界的力量不应该被低估。故选D。 4.A　 推理判断题。本文主要介绍了海洋守护者麦迪逊为了保护鲨鱼所做的努力,她参与拍摄的纪录片也鼓励人们参与到保护鲨鱼的行动中,由此可推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍一位有影响力的自然环境保护主义者。故选A。 B 文章大意： 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了保护公海海洋生物多样性的条约的达成,并分析了这一条约能够达成的原因及意义。 5.A　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea came into force in 1994, before marine biodiversity was a well-established concept.An updated framework to protect marine life in the regions outside national boundary waters, known as the high seas, had been in discussions for more than 20 years, but previous efforts to reach an agreement had repeatedly failed.”[《联合国海洋法公约》于1994年生效,当时海洋生物多样性还没有成为一个公认的概念。保护国家边界水域以外区域(称为公海)的海洋生物的最新框架已经被讨论了20多年,但以前为达成协议所做的努力一再白费。]以及第三段中“…builds on the legacy(遗产) of the…”可知,过去20多年人们一直围绕公海海洋生物多样性的保护法进行讨论,但都以失败而告终,所以这个于1994年生效的《联合国海洋法公约》应该是联合国海洋条约的基础。故选A项。 6.C　词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“For the first time, United Nations members have agreed on a unified treaty (协议) to protect biodiversity on the high seas…”(联合国成员国首次就保护公海生物多样性的统一条约达成一致……)以及第二段可知,联合国成员国第一次就保护公海生物多样性签订了条约。根据画线词前文及画线词后的“…nearly two decades of work and builds on the legacy (遗产) of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea…”(……近二十年的工作,并以《联合国海洋法公约》为基础……)可知,这里的突破指的是条约的签署,它标志着过去人们近20年的工作的结束。故选C项。 7.A　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The treaty also establishes ground rules for conducting environmental impact assessments for commercial activities in the oceans.”(该条约还确立了对海洋商业活动进行环境影响评估的基本规则。)可知,该条约还给出了商业海洋活动对海洋造成的影响的评估规则,由此可以推断,该条约也会对商业海洋活动进行监管。故选A项。 8.C　推理判断题。根据首段“For the first time, United Nations members have agreed on a unified treaty (协议) to protect biodiversity on the high seas, representing a turning point for vast stretches of the planet where conservation has previously been held back by a confusing patchwork (拼凑) of laws.”(联合国成员国首次就保护公海生物多样性的统一条约达成一致,这代表了地球上大片地区的一个转折点,这些地区的保护工作以前一直受到混乱的拼凑的法律的阻碍。)可知,联合国成员国就保护公海生物多样性的统一条约达成一致,这对海洋地区来说是一个很大的转折点,所以,这一条约的签订是历史性的成功。故选C项。 Ⅱ文章大意： 这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了由于过度捕捞,浅水鱼类的数量已经严重下降,以及由此导致的后果等内容。 1.G　根据上文“People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic.”(人们仍然想吃鱼,因此渔业必须考虑其他来源,特别是大西洋的深水区。)可知,空处应承接上文,说明以上做法导致的不良影响。故G选项“这导致许多被捕获物种的数量急剧下降。”切题。故选G项。 2.D　根据上文“Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent.”(对五种这样的物种的研究表明,数量下降了87%到98%。)可知,物种的数量下降到了一定程度,我们便称它们为“极度濒危”物种。故D选项“这使得它们被归为‘极度濒危物种’类别。”切题,this指代上文提到的“…numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent.”。故选D项。 3.C　根据上文“Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years.”(深海鱼类需要很长时间繁殖,通常可以活很多年。)和下文“The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.”(这些鱼的平均尺寸也在下降,其中一个物种的平均尺寸下降了57%。这一点值得特别关注,因为大鱼往往比小鱼生育更多的后代。)可知,空处承接上下文,说明深海鱼类的繁殖率非常低,而且它们的平均尺寸在减小。故C选项“不幸的是,它们的繁殖率非常低。”切题。故选C项。 4.E　根据下文“The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardines and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.”可知,渔业忽略了一些物种繁殖速度慢的事实。故E选项“渔业没有考虑到这些事实。”切题,故选E项。 5.A　根据上文“Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry.”(数百万人以渔业为生。)可知,空处与上文为并列关系,说明渔业对人的重要作用。故A选项“数十亿人依赖鱼类获取蛋白质。”切题。故选A项。 ⅢOne possible version: To help us learn more about the ocean and improve our awareness of protecting the ocean, a large exhibition of pictures was held in our school last Friday. The exhibition was held from 14:00 to 16:00 in the school hall. Various pictures of the ocean were shown at the exhibition whose topics were mainly about the present conditions of the ocean. Looking at these pictures, all students realized the importance of ocean protection and they all said they would try their best to protect the ocean. The exhibition was well received by the students so that they hope there will be as many such exhibitions as possible. 训练2 Ⅰ文章大意： 本文是一篇记叙文。Mitsuhiro Iwamoto从16岁起就失明了,但他努力坚持,勇敢尝试,最终通过55天的航行,成为世界上第一个不间断航行横渡太平洋的盲人。 1.A　 根据下文“…his blindness didn’t limit what he could do.”可知,Mitsuhiro从16岁起就失明了,但他想要证明他的失明限制不了他能做的事情。故选A。 2.C　 根据空后的simply、后句中的but及“He can feel the waves and sense the speed…”可知,本句应指出驾船比仅仅掌舵要复杂得多。故选C。artificial人工的;convenient方便的;complex复杂的;expensive昂贵的。 3.B　 第一段谈到Mitsuhiro是盲人,根据常识可知盲人驾船很困难。再结合but可推断,他却能够做到。故选B。predict预知;handle处理,驾驶,操纵;repair修理;improve改进。 4.D　 根据上文“He can feel the waves and sense the speed and angle of the winds…”可知,Mitsuhiro会根据自己的感知,正确地调整船帆。故选D。advocate提倡;record记录;save拯救;adjust调整。 5.D　 根据上下文语境可知,此处指在Mitsuhiro与领航员得救之前,他们漂浮了11个小时。故选D。block 阻碍,堵塞;serve服务;explore探索;rescue救援。 6.D　 根据语境可知,虽然Doug Smith以前航行不太多,但他喜欢横渡太平洋这个想法。故选D。distance距离;direction方向;curiosity好奇心;thought想法。 7.B　 前文提到Mitsuhiro想证明自己的能力,且Doug Smith喜欢横渡太平洋的想法,由此可推知他们两人志同道合,然后组起了队。故选B。 8.B　 Mitsuhiro是盲人,所以本空应选eyes,指Doug Smith用眼睛为Mitsuhiro导航。故选B。 strength力量;eye眼睛;theory理论;act行动。 9.B　 前文提到Mitsuhiro的第二次尝试需要很大的勇气,结合but可知,这里指他很坚定。故选B。interested感兴趣的;determined坚定的;satisfied满意的;relaxed放松的。 10.A　 本句体现Mitsuhiro决不退缩的信念:如果你停止尝试,失败就会变成真正的失败。故选A。true真正的;precious宝贵的;equal平等的;popular流行的。 11.D　 Mitsuhiro和Doug Smith是第一次合作航行,因此这是一次新的航行。故选D。extra额外的;normal正常的;practical实用的;new新的。 12.A　 根据上下文可知,Doug Smith买了船,Mitsuhiro积极努力地为这次航行训练自己。故选A。 13.C　 下文提到他们经历了55天的航行,故此处指他们最终到达了目的地。故选C。consequently因此,所以;naturally自然地;finally终于,最终;directly直接地。 14.D　 从上下文可知,Mitsuhiro拥有坚韧不拔的毅力,他没有放弃,取得了成功。故选D。fade away消失;look back回顾;break down失败,出故障;give up放弃。 15.C　 Mitsuhiro通过艰辛的努力获得了成功,他本人为此感到自豪。故选C。 Ⅱ文章大意： 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者为保护海洋、减少塑料垃圾所做出的努力。 1.seventh 　考查序数词。根据空格前的the以及语境“七年级”可知,此处需用序数词。 2.thinking　考查非谓语动词。从句的谓语动词是eat,故空格处应用非谓语动词形式。从句主语many sea animals与think之间是主动关系,故此处需用现在分词作状语。 3.to educate　考查非谓语动词。此处应用不定式作目的状语。 4.which/that　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知, “…used a lot of plastic…”是一个定语从句,修饰先行词a company,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,故用which或that引导该定语从句。 5.and　考查连词。句中的found和e-mailed之间是并列关系,故用and连接两个并列的谓语动词。 6.harmful 　考查形容词。此处是how引导的宾语从句,how修饰形容词或副词。再根据句中的could be可知这里应用形容词作表语,故用harmful。 7.excited　考查形容词。句子的主语是I,指人,故此空是表达人的情绪,故用-ed结尾的形容词。 8.was　考查时态和主谓一致。本句的主语是one of the biggest companies,故谓语动词用单数形式。再根据文章的主体时态是一般过去时可知,此空也用一般过去时,故用was。 9.representative　考查名词。根据空前的a company和空格后的wrote back可知此空是主语,需用represent的名词形式representative。 10.from　考查介词。固定用法switch over from…to…表示“从……转换到……”。 Ⅲ 详解： 1.段落续写: ①由第一段首句内容“我妹妹哭了,我妈妈朝我们大喊,让我们穿上救生衣。”可知,第一段可描写作者和家人想办法自救,争取在船沉没之前返回码头,但是他们呼吸变得困难了。 ②由第二段首句内容“我以为我要死了。”可知,第二段可描写作者和家人感到绝望,这时那个胡子浓密的人赶来救人,作者和家人得救,向其表达了感激。 2.续写线索:穿上救生衣—从船里舀水出去—呼吸变得困难—作者感到绝望—有人来救作者一家—得救后表达感激之情 One possible version: My sister was crying and my mum was yelling at us to put our life jackets on. I almost cried myself but I knew that crying and panicking(现在分词短语作主语) wouldn’t help. My dad had my sister sit closer to the front of the boat so that she would be the safest(目的状语从句). I hugged my mum tightly the whole time while she took a bucket and tried scooping the water out of the boat(while引导的时间状语从句). We started to head back to the dock before the boat sank(before引导的时间状语从句). It was getting hard to breathe(it作形式主语,不定式作真正的主语). I thought I was going to die. The waves wouldn’t calm down. The rain was still pouring down on us. Desperate as we were(as引导的让步状语从句), we had no choice but to stay put, sinking with the boat(现在分词短语作伴随状语). Just then, I felt someone grabbed my arm out of the water. Clearing the water on my face(现在分词短语作伴随状语), I could see the man with heavy beard came to our rescue. As soon as the boat got back to the dock(时间状语从句), my sister and I jumped out of the boat, after extending our gratitude to the man for his kindness. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
