A 教材同步单元练习 一、阅读理解 Passage 1 In the vast and often unforgiving landscape of the Arctic,a silent crisis is unfolding.The polar bear,an iconic symbol of the region's wild beauty,is facing an existential threat that is directly linked to the warming of our planet.Scientists have been tracking the dramatic changes in sea ice,the primary hunting ground for these magnificent creatures.For polar bears,sea ice is not merely a platform;it is a lifeline.They depend on it to hunt seals,their primary source of food,and to travel across their vast teritories. Recent studies have painted a concerning picture.As global temperatures rise,the Arctic sea ice is melting earlier in the spring and forming later in the autumn.This has effectively shortened the polar bears'feeding season,forcing them to go longer periods without food.The consequences are severe: bears are becoming thinner,their reproductive rates are declining,and cub survival is decreasing.In some regions,female bears are now having fewer cubs,and those that are born have a lower chance of reaching adulthood. Researchers have also observed changes in bear behavior.With less sea ice available,more bears are being forced onto land for extended periods.This brings them into closer contact with human settlements,leading to increased conflicts.Hungry bears may venture into communities in search of food,creating dangerous situations for both people and animals.This shift in behavior is a stark indicator of the stress the species is under. The situation is not entirely hopeless,however.Conservation efforts are underway,focusing on both immediate and long-term solutions.Intemational agreements have been made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,which are the root cause of climate change.Meanwhile,local communities in the Arctic are working on strategies to minimize human-bear conflicts,such as improving waste management and using warning systems.The future of the polar bear,scientists argue,is intrinsically tied to the choices humanity makes today.The path we choose will determine whether this majestic species continues to roam the Arctic for generations to come. ()1.What is the primary reason polar bears are facing an existential threat according to the passage? A.Increased hunting by humans. B.The loss of their main hunting habitat due to melting sea ice. C.A decrease in the seal population. D.Conflicts with other Arctic animals. ()2.The phrase "a lifeline"in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to. A.a long line used for rescue B.something that is essential for survival C.a dangerous situation D.a temporary solution ()3.What is one of the behavioral changes observed in polar bears due to the changing environment? A.They are learning to hunt on land. B.They are migrating to the Antarctic. C.They are spending more time on land,leading to more interactions with humans. D.They are relying solely on stored fat for the entire year. ()4.What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To provide a detailed guide on how to protect polar bears. B.To describe the physical characteristics of polar bears. C.To inform readers about the challenges polar bears face and advocate for action D.To compare the behaviors of polar bears in different regions. ()5.What does the final paragraph suggest about the future of polar bears? A.Their extinction is inevitable,so there is no point in trying to save them. B.Their survival depends entirely on technological advancements. C.Their fate is closely linked to human actions and global efforts to combat climate change. D.Local communities are solely responsible for their protection. Passage 2 The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD is one of the most famous and well-documented natural disasters in history.For centuries,the primary source of information about this catastrophe came from the letters of Pliny the Younger,who witnessed the event from a distance.However,recent archaeological discoveries are providing a new and more complete understanding of what happened on that fateful day,particularly regarding the final moments of the inhabitants of Pompeii and Herculaneum. For a long time,it was believed that most victims died from suffocation due to the thick ash and pumice that rained down on the cities.While this was certainly a major factor,new research suggests that many people,particularly those in Herculaneum,were killed instantly by an incredibly powerful and fast-moving cloud of superheated gas and ash known as a pyroclastic surge.This surge,reaching temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius,would have boiled the brains of victims and instantly vaporized their soft tissues. Evidence for this new theory comes from the examination of skeletons found in boathouses along the waterfront in Herculaneum.These victims were not buried slowly by falling ash.Instead,they appeared to have been caught in a sudden,honific event.Analysis of their bones revealed a unique pattern of thermal damage.The bones were blackened from carbonization of organic material and showed signs of having been exposed to extreme,short-lived heat.Further analysis of the victims'skulls showed that blood had been turned to steam,causing their skulls to explode from the inside. These gruesome findings paint a picture of a much more sudden and terifying death than previously imagined.The people in Herculaneum had no time to react.They were simply overwhelmed by a wall of heat that moved at the speed of a hurricane.This new understanding doesn't just rewrite the history of the eruption;it also provides valuable insights for modern volcanology.By studying the deposits left by the pyroclastic surges at Vesuvius,scientists can better predict the behavior of similar volcanoes around the world and develop more effective evacuation plans for at-risk populations.The study of this ancient tragedy,therefore,has a direct and crucial application for saving lives today ()6.According to the passage,what is the new understanding of the deaths of many victims in Herculaneum? A.They were slowly suffocated by falling ash. B.They drowned in a massive tsunami. C.They were killed instantly by a superheated gas cloud. D.They died of starvation after being trapped. ()7.The word "vaporized"in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to. A.turned into a liquid B.tumned into a gas C.tumned into a solid D.completely destroyed ()8.What evidence supports the theory of a pyroclastic surge killing the people in Herculaneum? A.The victims'bodies were found perfectly preserved in ash. B.The skeletons showed unique patterns of thermal damage consistent with extreme,short-lived heat. C.The victims'clothing was intact,suggesting a quick death. D.The buildings in the city showed no signs of damage. ()9.The author mentions that studying the Vesuvius eruption provides "valuable insights for modem volcanology"(last paragraph).What is the main purpose of this statement? A.To criticize the limitations of ancient historical accounts. B.To suggest that modern scientists are only interested in ancient history. C.To show the practical importance of studying past disasters for saving lives today. D.To argue that Vesuvius is the most dangerous volcano in the world. ()10.What can be inferred about Pliny the Younger's letters from the first paragraph? A.They are the only source of information about the eruption. B.They are now considered completely unreliable. C.They form the basis of our knowledge,but recent findings are adding to and correcting details. D.They were written after interviewing many survivors from Pompeii. 二、完形填空 It was a cold,gray moming when the small fishing boat,The Endeavor,set out from the harbor.For the crew,it was just another day of work,but the sea had other plans.About an hour into their journey,the sky (1) dark,and the wind began to howl.A storm,violent and unexpected,was upon them.The captain,a man with decades of experience,knew they were in serious trouble.He tried to steer the boat back towards the shore,but the waves were (2)and powerful. A massive wave,as high as a building,crashed over the deck,(3)one of the younger sailors overboard.The man,whose name was Ben,felt the icy water close over his head.He surfaced, gasping for air,and saw the boat being carried away by the raging sea.He screamed,but his cry was (4) by the roar of the wind.He was alone,adrift in the vast,dark ocean. Ben's initial(5)was panic.He thrashed in the water,his heart pounding with fear.He thought of his family,his wife and young daughter,and the (6)that he would never see them again. But then,a strange calm came over him.He remembered a survival guide he had read years ago, which said that the most important thing in a crisis is to conserve energy.He stopped fighting the water and began to (7)on his back,letting the waves cary him. He knew he couldn't stay in the water forever.The cold was (8) into his bones.He looked around desperately for anything that could help.In the distance,he spotted a piece of wreckage from a larger ship,a wooden door.He swam towards it with all the (9) he had left.Reaching it,he draped his arms over it.The door could not keep him completely out of the water,but it gave him something to hold onto,a (10) of hope. Hours passed,or maybe it was days.Time lost all meaning.He drifted in and out of consciousness,his mind filled with(11)of his home.The sun beat down on him during the day,and the cold at night was even more bitter.He was on the (12) of giving up.Just as all hope seemed lost,he saw a ship on the horizon.He gathered his last bit of strength and waved his shirt wildly.To his immense (13) ,the ship changed its course and headed towards him.He was saved. Later,in the hospital,a doctor told him he was lucky to be alive.Ben smiled weakly.It wasn't just luck,he thought.It was the (14) in his heart and the memory of a simple piece of advice that had (15) him from the edge of death. 1.A.turned B.grew C.became D.went 2.A.gentle B.calm C.enormous D.shallow 3.A.knocking B.pulling C.pushing D.throwing 4.A.drowned B.heard C.caried D.covered 5.A.plan B.thought C.reaction D.decision 6.A.possibility B.certainty C.realization D.guarantee 7.A.lie B.float C.sink D.turn 8.A.sinking B.spreading C.going D.striking 9.A.speed B.courage C.strength D.wisdom 10.A.symbol B.piece C.sign D.sense 11.A.pictures B.voices C.stories D.ideas 12.A.corner B.edge C.middle D.point 13.A.relief B.horror C.surprise D.fear 14.A.fear B.pain C.hope D.memory 15.A.prevented B.saved C.protected D.kept 三、阅读短文回答问题 Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions with complete sentences. The Amazon rainforest,often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth,"is a vast and complex ecosystem that plays a critical role in regulating the global climate.It produces approximately 20%of the world's oxygen and absorbs a significant amount of carbon dioxide,a major greenhouse gas. However,this vital natural wonder is under unprecedented threat from deforestation,primarily driven by agricultural expansion,illegal logging,and mining. The rate of deforestation in the Amazon has increased dramatically in recent years.Satellite data from Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE)shows that an area roughly the size of a football field is cleared every single minute.This massive loss of forest cover has devastating consequences.It not only destroys the habitats of countless species of plants and animals,many of which are found nowhere else on Earth,but it also contributes directly to climate change.When forests are bumned or cut down,the carbon they have stored for decades is released back into the atmosphere,accelerating global warming. Furthermore,deforestation disrupts the water cycle of the region.The Amazon rainforest generates a significant portion of its own rainfall through a process called evapotranspiration.Trees release water vapor into the atmosphere,which then forms clouds and falls as rain.When large areas of forest are removed,this natural cycle is broken,leading to longer and more severe dry seasons.This,in tumn, makes the remaining forest more vulnerable to wildfires,creating a dangerous feedback loop of destruction. The indigenous communities who have lived in the Amazon for centuries are also directly affected by deforestation.They rely on the forest for their food,shelter,medicine,and cultural identity.The invasion of their lands by loggers and miners forces them to relocate,exposes them to new diseases, and threatens their traditional way of life.These communities are often the best stewards of the forest, and their knowledge is vital for its preservation. Efforts to combat deforestation are ongoing,but they face significant challenges.International pressure, govemment policies,and consumer demand for sustainably sourced products all play a role.However, the underlying economic drivers of deforestation remain strong.The future of the Amazon hangs in the balance,and its preservation is a global responsibility that requires urgent and coordinated action from governments,businesses,and individuals alike. 1.Why is the Amazon rainforest referred to as the "lungs of the Earth"? 2.What are the three primary drivers of deforestation mentioned in the passage? 3.How does deforestation contribute to climate change,according to the text? 4.Explain the "dangerous feedback loop"mentioned in paragraph 3. 5.According to the author,whose responsibility is it to preserve the Amazon? 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The relationship between humans and nature is a complex and often fragile one.Throughout history, natural disasters have served as powerful reminders of our own vulnerability.The story of the Moskenesstraumen,or the great whirlpool,is a prime example.This powerful natural phenomenon, located off the coast of Norway,has been a source of both fear and(1) for sailors for centuries. In Edgar Allan Poe's famous story,"A Descent into the Maelstrom,"the narrator describes his tenifying experience of being caught in the whirlpool.He tells us that the day he and his brother were caught was like no other.The sky was a(2)shade of gray,and the wind made a sound that was both loud and (3) The moment he realized they were being pulled in,he was overcome with a sense of panic.He felt a(4)mix of terror and an odd desire to observe the event. His brother,however,was too(5) to act.He remained in the heavy boat,which was quickly pulled down.The narrator,in a desperate bid for(6),tied himself to a smaller,cylindrical barrel.His observation of the whirlpool's behavior gave him a vital clue.He noticed that cylindrical objects (7) on the surface were not pulled down as quickly.This simple (8)was the key to his escape. He learned that the power of nature is immense and that a person's(9) and willingness to learn can be the difference between life and death.To a great(10) his story is a testament to the human spirit's ability to find hope and reason even in the face of overwhelming natural force. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 五、写作 假设你是李华，你校英文报正在举办一场以“Living in Hammony with讪Nature”为主题的征文活 动。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1.简述人类与自然的关系（例如相互依存或人类对自然的依赖）。 2.举例说明人类活动对自然造成的一种具体负面影响（例如污染、过度开发等）。 3.提出个人的建议，至少两点，阐述我们应如何更好地与自然和谐共处。 注意： 1.词数100左右： 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考答案 Passage 1:1.B 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.C 一、阅读理解 Passage 2:6.C 7.B 8.B9.C 10.C 二、完形填空A:2C3.A4A5.C:6C7.B&A9.C;10.A1.A12.B13.A14 C,15.B 1.It is referred to as the "lungs of the Earth"because it produces approximately 20%of the world's oxygen and absorbs a significant amount of carbon dioxide. 2.The three primary drivers of deforestation mentioned are agricultural expansion, illegal logging,and mining. 3.Deforestation contributes to climate change because when forests are burned or cut down,the carbon they have stored is released into the atmosphere,accelerating global 三、阅读短文 warming. 回答问题 4.The "dangerous feedback loop"is that deforestation breaks the water cycle, leading to longer dry seasons,which makes the remaining forest more vulnerable to wildfires,thus causing more destruction. 5.According to the author,the preservation of the Amazon is a global responsibility that requires urgent and coordinated action from governments,businesses,and individuals. 四、短文填空l.cinatio2.3.fighnng4.o5.d6.ival7.oating 8.observation 9.curiosity 10.extent 五、写作 范文： Living in Harmony with Nature Humans and nature are deeply interdependent;we rely on it for clean air,water,and food.However, our unchecked activities have caused severe damage.For example,the overuse of plastic has led to massive ocean pollution,harming marine life. To change this,we must take action.First,we can reduce our reliance on single-use plastics by choosing reusable bags and bottles.Second,it is crucial to support businesses that prioritize sustainable practices.By making these simple changes in our daily lives,we can protect our planet for future generations and establish a more harmonious relationship with nature.
