to have existed on the planet,and they can grow to a length of 100 feet and weigh more than 330,000 pounds.But recently researchers have found that these whales are on the move and they have migrated from California waters to areas off Canada and Alaska for the first time since commercial whaling ended in 1965.The researchers identified 15 blue whales that have appeared off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska since 1997.Four of these whales were recognized as ones that were once sighted off California shores,suggesting that the whales are returning to an old migration pattern between the coasts.Before commercial whaling began in the early 1900s,blue whales were found widely throughout the North Pacific and California waters.But from the 1920s to the 1960s,whaling severely reduced the whale populations.Blue whales never recovered in the North Pacific,making sightings in this area rare.However,much larger groups of whales have been observed close to California since the 1970s.The scientists had previously thought that the California population was separate from the population that had historically lived in the North Pacific waters.But the current study shows that whales off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska are likely part of the California population.To identify the blue whales,the researchers looked at photos of cetaceans taken in the North Pacific Ocean and compared them with a library of blue whale pictures taken along the west coast of the United States and Southern Pacific.Up to now,the researchers are not quite sure why the whales are changing their migration patterns,but they suspect that the whales may be following their food moving farther north by the changes in ocean conditions.1.According to the passage,blue whales are .A.following a fixed route of migrationB.dying out due to commercial whalingC.moving from the south to the northD.rarely found in the Southern Pacific2.The whale population in the North Pacific .A.is different from the California populationB.is probably part of the California populationC.has become the largest group since the 1970sD.has lived there since the 1960s3.The underlined word “cetaceans” in Paragraph 5 probably means .A.land creaturesB.whale speciesC.ocean conditionsD.migration patterns4.What might make blue whales migrate according to the researchers?A.Commercial whaling.B.Weather conditions.C.Life reproduction.D.Food resources.B(2016山西考前质检)Some fish seem to be capable of adapting rapidly to climate change.In fact,they might even boom in the warmer oceans of the future,growing bigger and healthier than they can at present-day temperatures.Evidence gathered over the past decades has suggested that climate change will force fish to migrate to cooler waters,or else face extinction.Signs of such migration have already been seen.But recent studies have shown that some fish are able to adapt to warmer waters over a few generations.Earlier this month,Philip Munday of James Cook University,and his colleagues showed that one key tropical fish species did this by turning on and off some of its genes.Yet there are questions over the potential cost of such an adaptation.The fishs ability to swim seems to be unchanged,but as Munday noted,“Maybe well see trade-offs with growth rates.There are no free lunch in this world.”Donelson from Sydney raised several groups of maroon clownfish(小丑鱼),which live in coral reefs throughout the West Pacific.She kept one group at temperatures representing present-day conditions on the Great Barrier Reef,from where the parents of the fish were collected.In addition,she kept another group at 1.5 warmer and a third group at 3 warmer,representing the ocean temperature rise expected by the end of the century.After a year of growing,the fish adapted to the warmer temperatures,upping their aerobic metabolism(有氧代谢),which seemed to contribute to other benefits:those raised at temperatures 3 warmer grew 8 percent larger and 29 percent heavier than fish raised at lower temperatures.Donelson says that it is hard to make predictions about how different species will cope with climate change.“But at least it wont be all negative news for all species,”she says.5.The main idea of the first paragraph is that .A.some fish can adjust to warmer watersB.some fish can grow bigger at present-day temperaturesC.some fish may die out in cooler watersD.big fish can survive the temperature change6.One specific kind of fish adjusts to the changed surroundings by .A.switching their genes on and offB.growing quicklyC.training their ability to swimD.living in a group7.From Donelsons experiment,we know .A.the clownfish she raised are from the Great Barrier ReefB.she raised the fish in two different temperature conditionsC.after a years growing,the fish failed to adjust to warmer temperaturesD.the fish raised in the warmest water grow largest and heaviest8.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Different species will deal with climate change in the same way.B.Climate change has a positive effect on all the species.C.Fish is not the only species that can meet the challenge of climate change.D.Species which can adapt to climate change would survive. There are two types of people in the world.Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life,one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy.This arises from the different ways in which they consider things,persons,events and the resulting effects upon their minds. People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation,the well prepared dishes,the goodness of the wine and the fine weather.They enjoy all the cheerful things.Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.Therefore,they are continually dissatisfied.By their remarks,they sour the pleasure of society,offend(hurt) many people,and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.If this turn of mind was founded in nature,such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied.The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿).It grows into a habit,unknown to its possessors.The habit may be strong,but it may be cured when those who have realized its bad effects on their interests and tastes.I hope this little warning may be of service to them,and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination,it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck.Those people offend many others; nobody loves them,and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect.This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments.If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune,nobody wishes them success.Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes.If they bring on themselves public objections,no one will defend or excuse them,and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings.These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing,without worrying needlessly about themselves and others.If they do not,it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them.Otherwise,it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient,especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.1.People who are unhappy_.A.always consider things differently from othersB.usually are affected by the results of certain thingsC.usually misunderstand what others think or sayD.always discover the unpleasant side of certain things2.The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” means “_ ”.A.have a good taste with social lifeB.make others unhappyC.tend to scold others openlyD.enjoy the pleasure of life3.In this passage,the writer mainly_.A.describes two types of peopleB.laughs at the unhappy peopleC.suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappinessD.tells people how to be happy in life参考答案： 1.D; 2.B; 3.C解析： 生活中有些人拥有相同的健康、财富和生活条件,但由于考虑事情、人物、事件的角度不同,一些人感到幸福,而另一些人则感到不幸福。由于这些不幸福的人处处冒犯别人,其结果只能是处于被孤立的境地。1.D 推理判断题。从第二段第三句话“Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.”可以看出另一些人感到不幸福的原因。2.B 词义猜测题。从该短语后的“.offend (hurt) many people,and make themselves disagreeable everywhere”可以猜出 “sour the pleasure of society” 的正确含义。3.C 主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是那些感到不幸福的人处处冒犯别人,若长此以往,则只能处于被孤立的境地,所以他们应改变自己的习惯。.七选五阅读(2016郑州第一次质检)Every scientific field uses the scientific method to conduct experiments.Performing experiments is very important in the field of psychology(心理学).Before beginning a study,however,any scientist who wishes to perform an experiment should be familiar with the steps of the scientific method.1Form a hypothesis(假设).It is an educated guess about what will happen during the study.2 Coming up with a hypothesis before you start can help guide your experiment.Plan out a study.Planning out the experiment is essential because the psychologist needs to know if they have time,materials,and testing areas prepared beforehand.This step also helps the scientists to determine if they will be performing descriptive or experimental research.The ideal situation is to always perform experimental research.3 Descriptive research simply collects data regarding the problem and forms a hypothesis according to the data.Collect data.4 If the data collected is not recorded and organized,the entire efforts of the study may be wasted.The best way to do this may be to record the proceedings so that no details are lost.Analyze the data.Once all the data has been collected and organized,it must be analyzed.Using previous research or scientific information about the problem,the psychologist must apply the new data gathered.Publish the information learned.The final step of the scientific method in psychology is publishing the results of the study.5 Most psychological experiments are published in scientific journals.A.It is based on scientific facts,not just opinions.B.Read on to find out how to use the scientific method in psychology.C.Before psychologists start the experiment, they must plan out the steps.D.This helps other psychologists to learn about and use the new information.E.The scientific method has proved to be an effective way to conduct research.F.To fully understand the study,each part of the experiment must be recorded.G.Sometimes,however,this is impossible and descriptive research will have to be used.短文改错I stare from the window of my hotel room.A older gentleman was helping a young girl as she struggled walk down the beach.I ate in the hotel restaurant in that evening.I watched as the same young girl continued to get up from the table and reach for her walker.She grasped it firmly with both hand,leaning heavy.She made her way out of the restaurant,smile.As I drank me coffee in the hall the next morning,I noticed a sign saying “Special Olympics Relays”.Ah,I thought,that mustnt be what the walking lessons were all about.【拓展】书面表达 习近平主席最近在一次讲话中提到年轻人不要熬夜。某英语报以Dont Stay Up Late 为题向中学生征文。请你根据以下内容要求用英语写一篇短文应征。内容包括：1. 熬夜的情况；2. 熬夜的负面影响；3. 你的看法。注意：1.根据提示内容可适当展开，使行文连贯；2短文开头已给出，不计入总词数；3文中不能出现考生的具体信息；4词数：120左右。Dont Stay Up LateOur_school_has_regular_rest_hours_for_students._参考答案：Dont Stay Up LateOur_school_has_regular_rest_hours_for_students. However, we can often see many students do their lessons or other things after the bed time. They usually stay up until midnight. Teenagers need enough sleep daily. Staying up late may do harm to health. It can also make students late for class or sleepy in class. Thus, they miss something they should have learned. It is blameless to stay up once in a while if we do have to take up our rest time for some urgent deeds, but dont make it a habit. President Xi recently advised young people not to stay up late, which we should bear in mind. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. We really need to make a change to the unhealthy lifestyle so as to ensure our rest time. 考点规范练(选修6Unit 5).【解题导语】本文为说明文。文章主要讲的是蓝鲸的迁移以及有可能引起迁移的原因。1.C推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“.the whales may be following their food moving farther north.”可推出,蓝鲸正从南向北移动。故选C项。2.B细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But the current study shows that whales off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska are likely part of the California population.”可知,选B项。3.B词义猜测题。根据第五段中的“To identify the blue whales,the researchers looked at photos of cetaceans taken in the North Pacific Ocean.”可知,为了辨认蓝鲸,研究者看在北太平洋拍的有关cetaceans的照片,所以cetaceans应该指的是鲸类。故选B项。4.D推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“.but they suspect that the whales may be following their food moving farther north.”可知,研究者怀疑蓝鲸有可能跟随着它们的食物向北移动。故选D项。【解题导语】本文为说明文。文章向我们介绍了有些鱼能够适应气候的改变。而且最近的研究表明,一些鱼将来会适应更温暖的水域,但鱼类并不是唯一可以适应气候变化的物种。5.A段落大意题。根据文章第一段的最后一句“But recent studies have shown that some fish are able to adapt to warmer waters over a few generations.”可知,最近的研究表明一些鱼将来会适应更温暖的水域,
