外刊阅读—学会地道英语 鲨鱼湾的生态系统堪忧
There is a place named Shark Bay (鲨鱼湾) in the Western Australia. 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 (about 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. 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, the 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. 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.
Word Bank
1. seagrass /ˈsiːɡrɑːs/ n. 海草
2. ecosystem /ˈiːkəʊsɪstəm/ n. 生态系统
3. bycatch /ˈbaɪkætʃ/ n. 误捕
4. urgent /ˈɜːdʒənt/ adj. 紧迫的

时文阅读—讲好中国故事 海洋环境小卫士——机器鱼
Chinese scientists say they have developed robotic fish that can remove microplastic particles (微小的塑料颗粒) from water environments.
Researchers working on the project say the robots could help to clean up plastic pollution in oceans around the world. The robotic fish are about 1.3 cm long. They are made of a soft chemical material.
20
The robots are built to remove microplastic particles which are smaller than 5 mm while moving through the water. Studies have found that microplastic pollution has been found in many natural environments. The material comes from the breakdown of plastic products and industrial waste.
The project was started by a team at Sichuan University in southwestern China.
21
The researchers say the robots have already worked well in shallow waters and they plan to take more tests in deeper waters. The team says the robots can be controlled by light. They can swim up to 2.76 body lengths a second. This is faster than most similar soft robots.
Wang Yuyan is a member of the research team. According to her, the small, lightweight robot is now being used to collect microplastics for research.
22
She also says that the team plans to increase that use, so the robotic fish can remove lots of microplastic waste from deep ocean areas.
According to the team, the fish can take in different kinds of microplastics and even repair themselves when damaged. And if a robotic fish is eaten by a real fish, it could safely digest the material.
23
Wang says similar robots could be developed to be placed inside the human body to remove unwanted materials or diseases.

1. remove /rɪ'muːv/ v. 除去 2. researcher /'riːsɜːtʃər/ n. 研究者
3. breakdown /'breɪkdaʊn/ n. 分解 4. shallow /'ʃæləʊ/ adj. 浅的

二、[成都中考改编] 阅读理解
Lightning strikes kill millions of trees each year—but it turns out that some large tropical (热带的) trees can not only stay alive after they’re hit by a strike, but also benefit from its effects, according to a recent study.
Some trees are getting repeatedly hit by lightning over their lifetime. But why can they survive?
16
Researchers don’t know for sure. However, they think that trees will be heated less if they’re more conductive. That means the energy from lightning is just moving to their neighbors, instead of staying in them. The lightning’s strong power kills the parasitic vines (寄生藤蔓) on the trees. It also kills some other trees nearby, reducing competition.
17
Dipteryx oleifera, a tree in Panama’s forests, has probably experienced 10 lightning strikes so far. It stays safe and sound, while most of the neighboring trees are killed. If you are in the forest where it is, you’ll know what it is—its huge size and height. “We believe the trees in Panama’s forests have five strikes on average. But, you know, some of them obviously have a ton.” Evan Gora, a forest ecologist said.
18
How long do these trees live in the forests? People can’t do tree-ring dating in tropical forests because the trees don’t make continuous growth rings. Researchers guess many of the trees might be hundreds, or maybe even more than 1,000 years old.
What can we learn from the study? The hardest things can turn into good things, can’t they?
19
( )11. Why can some large tropical trees survive lightning strikes?
A. They’re not often hit by lightning.
B. The neighboring trees protect them.
C. The lightning energy moves away from them.
D. They have thick bark to block lightning.
细节理解题。根据“However, they think that... instead of staying in them.”可知, 导电性强的树能将雷电能量传导给周围的树, 从而减少自身受到的伤害。

( )12. What may happen after the large trees are hit by lightning?

B. They have more neighbors around.
C. They can stand more kinds of danger.
D. The parasitic vines grow faster.
细节理解题。根据“The lightning’s strong power kills... reducing competition.”可知, 雷击清除寄生藤蔓以及附近一些其他树木减少竞争, 为这些树创造了更好的生存条件。

( )14. Why can’t people tell the exact age of the large trees hit by lightning?
A. The weather there is terrible.
B. People don’t have proper tools.
C. Continuous growth rings can’t be found.
D. Lightning strikes damage the growth rings.
细节理解题。根据“People can’t do tree-ring dating in tropical forests because the trees don’t make continuous growth rings.”可知, 热带树木没有连续的年轮, 因此无法准确测定年龄。

A powerful windstorm swept through North China this week, turning skies orange and making trees dance like crazy. According to weather reports, winds reached over 130 km/h as strong as a tropical (热带的) storm in mountainous areas of Beijing and Hebei, while flat areas experienced winds of 90—110 km/h.
18
This kind of storm was very unusual for April, and it lasted for more than 48 hours, knocking down street signs and forcing airplanes to cancel flights.
Besides strong winds, the storm carried thick sand and dust from Mongolia and China’s northwest deserts. The thick sand and dust darkened the sky, making it look like nighttime during the day.
19
In cities like Beijing and Tianjin, the air pollution reached the worst level possible with Air Quality Indexes (空气质量指数) reaching 500. People had to wear masks not only for health protection but also to avoid breathing in dirty air. Schools closed, parks shut down, and delivery services received many orders as people stayed indoors.
20
The storm caused many dangers, including:
* Falling signs * Flying trash and branches * Tipped-over trucks on highways
Experts warned that the wind was strong enough to lift small vehicles. At the same time, heavy snowstorms in Inner Mongolia made the situation even worse.
21
How Did People Stay Safe?
Scientists gave the following advice:
☆ Close windows tightly ☆ Stay indoors ☆ Move loose items inside
One Beijing student said, “It felt like nature was challenging us.” Many students had online classes, but the loud wind noises made it hard to hear.

On July 31st, 1997, just before midnight, some skiers were returning to their hotel in Thredbo Village. Suddenly, they heard a huge sound. They rushed to see what happened and found part of the hillside above the village had dropped onto two buildings. Nineteen people were sleeping there!
3
As soon as the day broke, rescue workers started digging by hand. They used hand tools because machines might hurt the trapped people. For two days, they never stopped. On Thursday evening, they found the first body. The next day, two more. They almost gave up, but on Saturday morning at 5:37 a.m., a special machine found a small movement.
4
Everyone became silent. A fireman lay on the concrete and shouted, “Can anyone hear me?” A voice replied, “I can hear you.” Worried about more rocks falling, workers carefully removed the rocks. By 10 o’clock, a small hole was made. At 10 :10 a.m., they sent down tubes for warm air and a drink. Then a microphone let them talk to the man—Stuart Diver. He was cold, hungry, and almost hopeless.
5
For seven hours, two workers talked to Stuart while others freed him. Finally, at 5:17 p.m., Stuart was pulled out. Rescue workers cheered, and people at home cheered too as they watched on TV.

一、阅读理解
① We have many kinds of technologies now. Some around us can help people in disasters (灾难).
② The drone (无人机) is one of them. It can be used to send food, water and important things when a natural disaster happens. Very often the buildings are too dangerous for rescue (救援) teams to get in, but they can make the drone fly into the buildings to search for those who are still alive first.
11
③ Social media is also a useful tool when it comes to natural disasters. With its help, people can know about the details of natural disasters earlier. And some social media platforms (平台) allow people to mark themselves as safe after disasters so others can know their status (状态). Social media is also a place for the latest news, so people can learn what is going on in the disaster areas.
12
Besides, many social media platforms allow people to donate money to help people in disaster areas. The money will help them get back to their normal life as soon as possible. For example, live-streaming (直播) helped raise a lot of money for Henan after the flood in 2021.
④ Although these technologies can help when there is a natural disaster, we still need to prepare necessary tools and learn important skills to protect ourselves.
13
( )1. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)?
A. Buildings. B. New technologies.
C. The rescue teams. D. Natural disasters.
代词指代题。根据文章“Very often the buildings... but they can make the drone fly into the buildings to search for those who are still alive first.”可知, 通常情况下, 灾后的建筑物太危险, 救援队无法进入, 但他们可以让无人机飞进建筑物, 先搜索那些还活着的人。“they”指代的是前文提到的“rescue teams(救援队)”。
