Section Ⅰ　“Understanding ideas”的课文习读环节 [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A In a small tea shop located in Bisalpur, Uttar Pradesh, one can spot unique furniture like stools (凳子) and tables made of bricks and recycled plastic.Other than customers, tourists who come to visit the nearby Jawai Dam often stop by here to hand plastic waste over to the shopkeeper.Run by Kana Ram Mewada, the shop not only sells tea and snacks, but also leads a campaign to reduce the use of single-use plastic in the village. According to a report of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in 2019－2020, 3.5 million metric tons (公吨) of plastic waste is annually generated in India, and will remain in landfills (垃圾填埋场) for the upcoming hundreds of years. Kana was deeply disturbed after reading that report on the Internet and began thinking about ways to raise the villagers' awareness and make his village free of plastic. He started a campaign by collecting plastic waste from his own shop and roadside.Whenever customers came, he explained the campaign.In order to attract more people, he started giving something in return for the waste they brought.Sometimes, he purchased a few things made of recycled waste to show the villagers and told them they were created from their plastic waste contribution.He also made decorative items out of the waste and placed them around the shop. As a result, people from the village became curious about his campaign.Even tourists began participating in the exchange.And today, the forest, rivers and public spaces that were once filled with plastic waste are cleaner than before. He hopes that he can also help the neighboring villages recycle plastic waste and make the whole area plastic-free.“When an ordinary person like me decided to start a cause, it was inspiring that a whole village stood by me and supported me.We can all become torchbearers (启蒙者) for a better tomorrow.What we have to do is take a step forward，” he said. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了店主Kana Ram Mewada在看了网上的报告后，决定发起收集塑料垃圾，让村庄远离塑料的运动。他把塑料做成一些独特的家具，吸引了很多人参与。 1．What led Kana to start the campaign?

It's important to the sea life that moves back and forth between the islands. But the route is in danger since it is also open to fishing boats. To protect marine life, MigraMar, an environmental group, is working to change the entire “superhighway” into a marine protected area, an area that will stretch 240,000 square kilometers, about the size of the UK. For more than ten years, scientists of MigraMar have been trying to prove the importance of the “superhighway” by documenting the species that use it. They have placed satellite and ultrasonic tags (超声波追踪器) on almost 400 marine organisms to track their migratory routes (迁徙路线). So far, they have successfully tracked the migration of whale sharks, hammerhead sharks, silky sharks, etc., between the two islands. MigraMar has produced a document stressing the need to protect the “superhighway”， calling for it to stop people from fishing there or allow only sustainable and seasonal fishing. The document has raised a storm of protest in the fishing industry in both countries. However, in the long term this protected “superhighway” will have a positive impact on fishing. Fish can grow and reproduce there, causing the overall amount to increase and more fish to become available outside the protected area.It could also have economic benefits in other industries.For example, preserving iconic sea life could protect tourism. Both Costa Rica and Ecuador are currently considering plans to protect the “superhighway”. They have mapped out a strategy to create and strengthen marine protected areas. “We're hopeful that action will be taken in the near future，” says Steiner, one of the founding members of MigraMar, but he also warns that some species are facing extinction. “We've taken baby steps，” he says, “but these species are in great danger.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是太平洋深处的一条重要水下“高速公路”正面临威胁，环保组织MigraMar正在努力将其转变为海洋保护区以保护海洋生物。 5．What do we know about the underwater “superhighway”？ A．It belongs to Costa Rica. B．It is under threat from boats. C．It is a land wildlife reserve. D．It is about the size of the UK. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段“But the route is in danger since it is also open to fishing boats.”可知，水下“高速公路”受到船只的威胁。故选B。 6．Why do scientists track the migratory routes of many marine organisms? A．To test the function of satellite and ultrasonic tags. B．To confirm the importance of the “superhighway”． C．To protect sharks migrating between the two islands. D．To stop people from fishing near the “superhighway”． 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第二段“For more than ten years ... track their migratory routes (迁徙路线)．”可知，科学家追踪许多海洋生物的迁徙路线是为了确认“高速公路”的重要性。故选B。 7．What does paragraph 3 focus on? A．The benefits of protecting the “superhighway”． B．The strong protest from the fishing industry. C．The need of sustainable and seasonal fishing. D．The document of forbidding illegal fishing. 解析：选A　段落大意题。根据第三段“However, in the long term ... could protect tourism.”可知，第三段主要是关于保护“高速公路”的好处。故选A。 8．What can we infer from Steiner's words? A．Marine reserves are created. B．The “superhighway” is safe. C．Many species have died out. D．Governments need to act fast. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We're hopeful that action will be taken in the near future”和最后一段的内容可知，我们能从Steiner的话中推断出政府需要迅速采取行动。故选D。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 The world is losing monarch butterflies at a striking rate，as various kinds of human activities destroy natural habitats.__9__ Climate change，with its extreme storms，prolonged droughts and warming temperatures, is to destroy the forest that serves as the butterfly's winter home. Scientists believe，to help these lovely butterflies，it is necessary to create an ecosystem where the butterflies will be able to survive.They've decided to start a monumental project.__10__ “It's an idea that may sound crazy，” said Cuauhtemoc Saenz-Romero, a forest geneticist.“But by the end of the century，it may be absolutely needed.” The butterflies seek shelter here in the oyamel firs (冷杉) in winter.__11__ The firs protect the butterflies from chilly winter rains and create a microclimate cold enough to keep the butterflies in a state of hibernation (冬眠) but not so cold as to kill them. __12__ The region is warming at such an accelerated pace that the trees won't be able to adapt, scientists say, and will need help migrating to areas where the climate is predicted to be suitable for them in future years. Over the last several years，the team of researchers has overseen the relocation of about 1,000 young fir plants, which were growing at lower altitudes, up to higher — and cooler — elevations.__13__ They are now establishing the trees at even higher altitudes on other nearby mountains — seeding ecosystems now that monarchs could potentially use later if temperatures continue to rise. Every winter is witnessing tens of thousands of butterflies in the new forests, some fluttering about and others resting in massive clumps on the firs，their bodies obscuring the branches and trunks. A．They hope to expand the project. B．There is still hope to restore the forests. C．Their dense tops act as an umbrella for the butterflies. D．But the biggest threat yet has only recently come into focus. E．They are trying to move an entire forest 1,000 feet up a mountain. F．Scientists fear that climate change may kill off these firs altogether. G．The project is believed to protect the butterfly and the natives as well. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类为保护因气候变化而正在消失的帝王蝶所做出的努力。 9．选D　上文提到了人类活动导致帝王蝶正在消失，后文则重点指出气候变化对蝴蝶的影响，可见空处与上文构成转折关系，旨在说明对帝王蝶的最大威胁是气候变化。D选项“但是最大的威胁直到最近才成为焦点”符合语境，下文是对这个威胁的具体说明。 10．选E　上文提到科学家决定开始一项浩大的工程，空处为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明这一工程是什么。E选项“他们试图将整片森林移到1 000英尺高的山上”符合语境，选项中They指代上文Scientists。 11．选C　上文提到蝴蝶在冷杉中寻求庇护，后文则提到了冷杉是如何保护蝴蝶的，C选项“它们浓密的顶部就像蝴蝶的伞”符合语境，选项中umbrella呼应上文中shelter。 12．选F　后文提到“科学家指出树木无法适应气候变化，需要帮助它们迁移”，可见气候变化可能对冷杉造成消极影响，故F选项“科学家们担心气候变化可能会使这些冷杉全部灭绝”符合语境。 13．选A　上文提到冷杉幼苗由低海拔地区移到海拔较高的地区，后文则提到研究小组在海拔更高的山上种植这些树，即他们在做进一步实验，A选项“他们希望扩大这个项目”符合语境。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
