Explorers started making navigation(导航) charts showing how wide the ocean was more than 500 years ago.But it’s much harder to calculate how deep it is.
Ⅰ.阅读理解
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“探测海洋有多深”,科学家们已经探测出海洋的宽度,但是对于海洋深度的探索仍然没有定论,而对于海底的研究,也能帮助人们更好地测量海洋。
In 1872,the HMS Challenger,a British Navy ship,set sail to learn about the ocean,including its depth.It carried 181 miles(291 kilometers) of rope to measure the depth of the ocean.During their four-year voyage,the Challenger crew collected samples of rocks,mud and animals from many different areas of the ocean.They also found one of the deepest zones,in the western Pacific,the Mariana Trench which stretches for 1,580 miles(2,542 kilometers).
Today scientists know that on average the ocean is 2.3 miles(3.7 kilometers) deep,but many parts are much shallower or deeper.To measure depth,they use sonar,which stands for Sound Navigation And Ranging.A ship sends out pulses of sound energy and measures depth based on how quickly the sound travels back.
Ocean scientists study the sea floor because it helps us better measure the ocean.Our planet’s outer layer is made of tectonic plates.The Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount chain,a line of peaks on the ocean floor,was created when a tectonic plate moved over a spot where hot rock welled up from deep inside the Earth.When two tectonic plates move away from each other underwater,new material rises up into Earth’s layer.This process,which creates new ocean floor,is called seafloor spreading.Sometimes super-hot liquids from inside the Earth shoot up through cracks in the ocean floor called hydrothermal vents.
Amazing fish,shellfish,tube worms and other life forms live in these zones.Between the creation and destruction of ocean plates,sediments(沉淀物) collect on the sea floor and provide an archive of Earth’s history,the evolution of climate and life that is available nowhere else.
1.Why did the HMS Challenger make the voyage?
A.To test navigation.
B.To calculate the age of the ocean.
C.To explore the ocean.
D.To do research into Mariana Trench.
√
细节理解题。根据第二段首句“In 1872,the HMS Challenger,a British Navy ship,set sail to learn about the ocean,including its depth.”可知,英国皇家海军“挑战者号”启航出海的目的是探索海洋。故选C。
解析
2.How do scientists know the depth of the ocean?
A.By measuring it with ropes.
B.By studying samples of rocks and mud.
C.By analyzing the habitats of the animals.
D.By studying the returning speed of the sound.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“A ship sends out pulses of sound energy and measures depth based on how quickly the sound travels back.”可知,船只发出脉冲声能,进而根据声音回传的速度来测定海洋的深度。故选D。
解析
3.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A.Certain changes of the sea floor.
B.The layers that make up the Earth.
C.The way that a volcano comes into being.
D.Some definitions of the seafloor spreading.
√
段落大意题。第四段首句“Ocean scientists study the sea floor because it helps us better measure the ocean.”为该段主题句,后文围绕主题句展开。当海底(构造)板块移动时,地球内部热岩迸发而出,形成海底山,海底格局发生变化,不同地点的深浅度随之而变。研究海底状况有利于更准确地测量大海。故选A。
解析

Antarctica is known for being a vast land of ice and snow,a place too cold for most life.Despite this,the continent is slowly starting to turn warm.According to The Guardian,the Antarctic has registered a new high temperature for the first time on record,prompting fears of climate instability in the world’s iciest place.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了南极的气温创下历史新高,人们担心这个世界上最寒冷的地方会出现气候不稳定的情况。因此,我们应该尽我们所能帮助拯救我们的星球。
On Feb.9,Brazilian researchers at Seymour Island reported a temperature of 20.75℃ on the icy continent of Antarctica.It was almost a full degree higher than the previous record of 19.8℃,taken on Signy Island(西格尼岛) in January 1982.
This record-breaking reading was taken at a monitoring station in the northern part of Antarctica.According to Brazilian soil scientist Carlos Schaefer,the temperature was documented during a 20-year-long research project.The focus of this project is to study the effect that climate change has on the permafrost(永久冻土) within the region.
Permafrost is soil that stays frozen for at least two years.Although this is a first record high for Antarctica,Schaefer stressed that “We can’t use this to anticipate climatic changes in the future.It’s simply a signal that something different is happening in that area.”
But in fact,the last high temperature reading was in the 19℃ range.These higher temperatures can cause ice and glaciers in Antarctic regions to melt.The Antarctic peninsula(半岛)—the long finger of land that stretches towards Argentina—is most dramatically affected.
Scientists saw glaciers that have retreated by more than 100 meters in Discovery Bay where the snow melted in little more than a week,leaving dark exposed rock.This melted ice leads to a rise in sea levels that can threaten the safety of coastal areas.It’s believed to be behind an alarming decline of more than 50 percent in chinstrap penguin(帽带企鹅) colonies,which are dependent on sea ice.
Like American writer Ernest Hemingway once said,“The Earth is a fine place and worth fighting for.” We should do everything we can to help save our planet.Otherwise,it may become too hot for us to fix.
5.What did Brazilian researchers report on Feb.9?
A.Seymour Island is the warmest region in the Antarctic.
B.Antarctica hit a record high temperature of 20.75℃.
C.The average temperature of Antarctica ranges from 19.8℃ to 20.75℃.
D.Antarctica’s new record temperature is a full degree higher than the
previous decade.
√
细节理解题。根据第二段的“On Feb.9,Brazilian researchers at Seymour Island reported a temperature of 20.75℃ on the icy continent of Antarctica.”可知,2月9日,巴西研究人员报告南极洲创下了20.75℃的高温纪录。故选B。
解析
6.What’s the main purpose of the 20-year-long research project?
A.To predict possible climatic change in the future.
B.To monitor Antarctica’s contributions to world climate change.
C.To explain why the permafrost may cause glaciers to melt.
D.To examine how the permafrost is influenced by climate change.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段的“...the temperature was documented during a 20-year-long research project.The focus of this project is to study the effect that climate change has on the permafrost(永久冻土) within the region.”可知,这个长达20年的研究项目的主要目的是研究永久冻土是如何受到气候变化的影响的。故选D。
解析
7.What does the underlined word “retreated” probably mean?
A.Moved backward.
B.Increased in size.
C.Covered a certain area.
D.Stretched in an opposite direction.
√
词义猜测题。根据画线词上下文可知,南极半岛——延伸到阿根廷的狭长地带——受到了显著影响,该地区积雪融化,露出了岩石,由此可推知,科学家们发现冰川已经退缩了100多米,因此,可猜测画线词意思为“后退”。故选A。
解析
8.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.The Earth will be hotter and hotter.
B.The high temperature can cause ice in Antarctica to melt.
C.People should spare no effort to protect the Earth and the environment.
D.A rise in sea levels can threaten the safety of coastal areas.
√
段落大意题。最后一段引用了海明威的名言“地球是一个美好的地方,值得我们为之奋斗”,紧接着提到我们应该尽我们所能帮助拯救我们的星球。由此可知,本段主要内容是倡议人们应该不遗余力地保护地球和环境。故选C。
解析
Insects have an important role as part of the living planet,and they make up four-fifths of all animal species.But what difference do they make to our lives?
Ⅱ.七选五
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了昆虫对我们人类的生活产生的影响。
Insects as a problem
1 We plant crops which some insect species love,and they thrive on them.That’s when we start to call them pests.
A.Without them,many crops would fail.
B.Many insect species compete with us for food.
C.And don’t forget insects can also be eaten by man!
D.Many of these have been caused by human activities.
E.Sometimes it is joked that this is because they find us tasty.
F.Many pests can be controlled by spraying with chemical pesticides.
G.In fact,many genetic discoveries couldn’t have been made without it.
√
根据下文“We plant crops which some insect species love,and they thrive on them.”可知,有些昆虫喜欢吃我们种的庄稼。B项“许多昆虫与我们争夺食物”与之呼应。故选B。
解析
Humans have caused some insect species to be moved from one part of the world to another—deliberately or by accident.If the introduced insect species has no natural enemies in their new home,they can become a real problem.A recent UK example is the Harlequin ladybird,which has found its way to Britain and eats other ladybirds.
Some insects can sting,bite,or transmit disease to humans. 2 Mosquitoes,for example,gain nourishment by sucking blood,and in the process they can transmit diseases,such as malaria.
A.Without them,many crops would fail.
B.Many insect species compete with us for food.
C.And don’t forget insects can also be eaten by man!
D.Many of these have been caused by human activities.

Insects are very important as pollinators(传粉者).Bees are perhaps the best example of this. 3 Pollination is needed before many crops and fruits that we eat can be formed.
A.Without them,many crops would fail.
B.Many insect species compete with us for food.
C.And don’t forget insects can also be eaten by man!
D.Many of these have been caused by human activities.
E.Sometimes it is joked that this is because they find us tasty.
F.Many pests can be controlled by spraying with chemical pesticides.
G.In fact,many genetic discoveries couldn’t have been made without it.
√
本段第一句说明昆虫的作用。空格下一句为具体作用发挥到人类生活中。故可推断空格处内容应说明这些昆虫的重要性。故选A。
解析
Insects are also useful as models in scientific research.The Fruit Fly is a good example.It breeds rapidly,and can produce very many generations per year in the laboratory,so it is ideal for the study of evolution. 4
A.Without them,many crops would fail.
B.Many insect species compete with us for food.
