B.Major.C.Dangerous. D.Top.解析D詞義揣測(cè)題。由"Thatmeanstheyareatthehighestpointofthe‘foodchain’"可知,鯊魚(yú)通常都是位于食物鏈頂端的動(dòng)物,它們追捕、殺死并吃掉其他動(dòng)物,因此選D。3.Whatcanbeinferredaboutthenewrulefromthelastparagraph?A.Itcanpreventillegalfishing.B.Itisadebatabledeal.C.Itdoeswondersforoceanspecies.D.Itisquestionedbymostbiologists.解析B推理推斷題。由最終一段中的"Somebiologistshavecriticisedthenewrule"以及"However,ShawnHeinrichsfromOnlyOne...calledit‘thebiggestwininthehistoryofoceanspecies’"可知,人們對(duì)這一新協(xié)議的看法并不一樣,有些人支持,有些人反對(duì),因此這一新協(xié)議是有爭(zhēng)議的,故選B。4.Whichcanbethebesttitleforthistext?A.NationsSignUptoSaveSharksB.NewRulesBenefitLifeintheOceanC.SharksAreVitaltoOceanBiodiversityD.CITESAimstoProtectOceanSpecies解析A標(biāo)題歸納題。本文主要圍繞一項(xiàng)旨在疼惜鯊魚(yú)的新協(xié)議綻開(kāi),故選A。B[生態(tài)環(huán)保/2024山東濰坊統(tǒng)考]TheAtlanticsalmon(鮭)ofScotlandarehardyanddeterminedanimals.Eachspringandsummer,theyreturnfromtheNorthAtlanticOceantolayeggsinScotland’sshallowrivers,leapingupwaterfallsandoverbarriers,pushingthemselvesupstreaminenormousefforts.Somefail,andtheotherssucceed,buttodaytheyfaceanotherchallenge.Duringthemid-1980s,therewerebetweeneightandtenmillionsalmonswimmingaroundScotland’sAtlanticcoast;thatnumberhasnowdroppedsharply.There’sevidenceofrisingat-seadeathasclimatechangewarmsandacidifiestheocean,reducingtheavailabilityofthesalmon’sprey(獵物).Newresearchsuggestsclimatechangeisalsobearingdownonrivers,whichisbadnewsforsalmon.Havingadaptedtolifeincoldwater,salmonexperienceslowgrowthandpopulationchangesathightemperatures.Heatinfluencestheirhealthandreducestheirresistancetodisease."Nowsalmonarestrugglingtodealwiththerisingtemperatures.Therearerecentrecordsof27℃intheupperreachesoftheDeecatchment,"saysPeterCairns,directorofanenvironmentalcharity.In2024,Scotlandrecordedthelowestrodcatchforsalmonsincerecordsbegan.Evidencesuggeststhatthedegradedqualityofrivercatchmentsworsenstheimpactofourchangingclimate."AtlanticsalmonevolvedusingriversystemsinScotlandthatwereoncewaymoreforestedandthereforeshaded,"saysCairns.YetScotlandistodayoneoftheleastwoodedcountriesinEurope,withjust3percentofitsnativewoodlandundamaged.Scientistshavefoundthatjust35percentofriversinScotlandhaveenoughtreecoverforsalmonsurvival.Amovementtogettreesbackonriverbanksisgatheringpace."Broadleaftreesclosetothebankcanreducethelightthatentersthewater,"explainsfisheriesscientistAnthonyHawkins.AnewinitiativecalledRiverwoods—ledbytheScottishWildlifeTrustandsupportedbyScottishWaterandseveralothergovernmentandregulatorybodies—aimstocreateanetworkofwoodlandsalongScotland’sriverbanks,andhasalreadyreceivedanumberoflargefunds."Moneyisnotthepressingbusiness.Riverhealthiscomplex,buttreeplantingisoneofthemostbasicthingswecangetstartedwithrightaway,"saysCairns.全球變暖給大西洋鮭的生存帶來(lái)了極大的挑戰(zhàn),為了給大西洋鮭供應(yīng)更好的生存環(huán)境,蘇格蘭有關(guān)部門支配在河岸上植樹(shù)。【詞語(yǔ)積累】hardyadj.能吃苦耐勞的,適應(yīng)力強(qiáng)的;耐寒的acidifyv.(使)變成酸,酸化beardownon加壓力于woodedadj.樹(shù)木覆蓋的pressingadj.緊迫的,不容忽視的1.WhydoAtlanticsalmonmakegreatjourneysbacktotherivers?A.Tosearchforfoods.B.Toreproduce.C.Theriversarerelativelycool.D.Theseasareincreasinglywarm.解析B微小環(huán)節(jié)理解題。由第一段中的"Eachspringandsummer,theyreturnfromtheNorthAtlanticOceantolayeggsinScotland’sshallowrivers"可知,大西洋鮭每年春夏之際會(huì)洄游到蘇格蘭去產(chǎn)卵,故B項(xiàng)正確。reproduce繁殖,生育。2.Howdotherisingtemperaturesinriversaffectsalmon?A.Theymakethemgrowmorequickly.B.Theymakethemmoreheat-resistant.C.Theymakethemlessactiveinwater.D.Theymakethemmorelikelytogetdiseases.解析D微小環(huán)節(jié)理解題。由其次段最終一句"Heatinfluencestheirhealthandreducestheirresistancetodisease"可知,高溫影響了大西洋鮭的健康,降低了它們對(duì)疾病的抗拒力,據(jù)此可推知,它們更簡(jiǎn)潔得病,故D項(xiàng)正確。3.WhatisachallengeforsalmonwhentheyreturntoScotland’srivers?A.Thereisashortageoffood.B.Therearemanyfishermen.C.Theecologicalenvironmenthaschanged.D.Theriversystemsareunsuitablefortheforestgrowth.解析C微小環(huán)節(jié)理解題。由第三段中的"‘AtlanticsalmonevolvedusingriversystemsinScotland...oneoftheleastwoodedcountriesinEurope"可知,大西洋鮭已經(jīng)適應(yīng)了蘇格蘭森林茂密的生態(tài)環(huán)境,然而現(xiàn)在的蘇格蘭卻成了歐洲樹(shù)木覆蓋最少的國(guó)家之一,這對(duì)大西洋鮭來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn),故C項(xiàng)正確。4.WhatdoesCairnsreallyintendtotellusinthelastparagraph?A.Itisurgenttoplantriverbanktrees.B.Itistoohardtorestoretheriverhealth.C.Thereisenoughmoneyfortheproject.D.Therearetoomanyvitalthingstodealwith.解析A推理推斷題。由最終一段中Cairns所說(shuō)的話中的"treeplantingisoneofthemostbasicthingswecangetstartedwithrightaway"可知,Cairns認(rèn)為種樹(shù)是可以立刻起先著手做的事情之一,據(jù)此可以推斷,Cairns認(rèn)為當(dāng)務(wù)之急是種植河岸樹(shù)木,故A項(xiàng)正確。二、完形填空[2024廣東深圳一調(diào)]NatalieandCallie,both13yearsold,startedraisingmonarchbutterflies(黑脈金斑蝶)forfunin2024.Butafterrealizingmonarchbutterflieswereanendangeredspecies,their1soonturnedintoaseriousmission.Theylearnedthatthepopulationofmonarchbutterflieshad2sincetheearly1990s,duetohabitat3andwidespreaduseofchemicals,whichmademilkweedsmonarchbutterflies4fortheirmaindietdangeroustoeat.Sothegirlsteamedupwithanationalnonprofitgrouptoplantanativegarden5forthebutterflies.Thegardengreworganicmilkweedsthat6andkeptthebutterflies.Tohelp7thelocalstosustainthemonarchbutterfly’spo
