23、给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。A(2019·四川高考)Their cheery song brightens many a winters day.But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much.Robins are singing all nightas well as during the day,British-based researchers say.David Dominoni,of Glasgow University,said that light from

24、 street lamps,takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds biological clocks,leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.Dr Dominoni,who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns,said lack of sleep could put the birds health at risk.His study shows that wh

25、en robins are exposed to light at night in the lab,it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day.And the more birds are exposed to light,the more active they are at night.He told people at a conference,“There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song outp

26、ut at night and during the day they are still singing.Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy.So by increasing their song output,there might be some costs of energy.”And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light.Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturna

27、l.Dr Dominoni said,“In Glasgow where I live,gulls are a serious problem.I have people coming to me saying You are the bird expert.Can you help us kill these gulls?.During the breeding(繁殖)season,between April and June,they are very active at night and very noisy and people cant sleep.”Although Dr Dom

28、inoni has only studied light pollution,other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.However,some birds thrive(兴旺) in noisy environments.A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in area

29、s with heavy industrial machinery.It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas.21According to Dr Dominonis study,what causes robins to sing so much?A.The breeding season.B.The light in modern life.C.The dangerous environment.D.The noise from heavy machinery

30、.解析:细节理解题。由第二段中的“.light from street lamps,takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds biological clocks,leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.”可知,街灯、外卖店的招牌和住宅产生的人造灯光会影响鸟的生物钟,导致它们在本应睡眠的夜间十分清醒。故B项正确。答案:B22What is the researchers concern over the increase of birds song output?

31、A.The environment might be polluted.B.The birds health might be damaged.C.The industry cost might be increased.D.The peoples hearing might be affected.解析:推理判断题。 根据第四段最后一句话“.by increasing their song output,there might be some costs of energy.”可以推断,这些鸟的健康可能会受损害,所以B项正确。答案:B23What does the underlined wo

32、rd “nocturnal” in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Active at night.B.Inactive at night.C.Active during the day.D.Inactive during the day.解析:词义猜测题。分析“And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal.”可以判断,画线单词和awake属于含义相近的词,都表示光污染也会使它们清醒

33、或者活跃。nocturnal意为“夜间活动的”,故A项正确。答案:A24Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments?A.Because there are fewer dangers.B.Because there is more food to eat.C.Because there is less light pollution.D.Because there are more places to take shelter.解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段的“It is thought that they are capitalising o

34、n their predators(天敌) fleeing to quieter areas.”可以判断因为天敌去了更安静的地区,所以它们的生存可能性更大了。故A项正确。答案:ABMars Was Not Always Bitterly ColdScientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have reported evidence that Mars was warmer and wetter long ago than it is today.The Caltech scientists say they h

35、ave directly established the temperature of Mars four billion years ago.At least,they established the surface temperature on part of the planet at that time.The researchers say it is the first such evidence to be discovered and presented.The Caltech scientists say carbonate(碳酸盐)minerals formed on Ma

36、rs at about eighteen degrees Celsius.They reached the finding after studying a meteorite(陨石)that had its beginnings near the Martian surface.Today,the average temperature on Mars is sixty-three degrees below zero Celsius.The finding was reported on the website of the National Academy of Sciences.Cal

37、tech Assistant Professor Woody Fischer helped to prepare the report.He says eighteen degrees Celsius is not especially cold or hot.He says this makes the finding extremely interesting.Knowing the temperature can give scientists an idea of the climate on Mars long ago.It can also help them decide whe

38、ther the planet had liquid water.Spacecrafts orbiting Mars have shown what appear to be rivers,lakebeds and mineral deposits.These pictures suggest that,at one time,water did flow there.Mars Rover vehicles and other spacecrafts have confirmed the information.Caltech Geology Professor John Eiler was

39、another writer of the report.He says knowing the temperature of Mars from long ago provides valuable information.It shows that early in the planets history,at least part of Mars could support a climate like that of Earth.The meteorite the scientists examined is one of the oldest known rocks in the w

40、orld.It is called the Allan Hills meteorite.Its name came from the place in Antarctica where it was found in 1984.The meteorite is believed to have blown loose from the Mars surface when another space rock struck its “home”.25How did the scientists reach the finding?A.By studying Allan Hills meteori

41、te.B.By using spacecrafts orbiting Mars.C.By studying minerals gathered on Mars.D.By studying a meteorite on the Martian surface.解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“They reached the finding after studying a meteorite(陨石).”以及最后一段第一、二句可知,科学家们的这个发现是在研究Allan Hills陨石之后得出的。答案:A26According to the fourth paragraph,what have

42、spacecrafts orbiting Mars done?A.Measuring the temperature of Mars.B.Taking photos of the surface of Mars.C.Confirming that there is water flowing on Mars.D.Finding where human beings will probably land on Mars.解析:细节理解题。根据第四段最后三句可知,宇宙飞船绕火星旋转是为了拍摄火星表面的照片。故B项为正确答案。答案:B27How did Allan Hills meteorite g

43、et its name?A.From its original place on Mars.B.From where it was found on the Earth.C.From the name of the scientist who found it.D.From the name of the aircraft that discovered it.解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段第三句“Its name came from the place in Antarctica where it was found in 1984.”可知,陨石的名字来源于它在地球上被发现的地点。答案:B2

44、8Where can we most probably read this passage?A.In a biography of scientists.B.In a geography magazine.C.In an environment report.D.In a science report.解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文是科普类文章,科学研究表明,火星在很久以前的温度并不像现在这样低。这类文章最有可能在科学报告中读到,故D项为正确答案。答案:DCThe hottest “green” toy in Germany isnt made of organic or recycle

47、a functioning solar cell.Its aim is to get kids to use their imagination about how energy will be created in the future.Makers and retailers believe such toys will play an increasingly important role in their futureand that of our kids.“Energy is the question of the future and we are definitely thin

48、king about this as we move ahead,”said Judith Schweinitz,a spokeswoman for Playmobile,maker of the solar panel-fitted space station.“It is increasingly being brought into our play concept.”Green toyswhich range from those made of sustainable materials to ones like the space station that just raise e

49、nvironmental awarenessmake up only a sliver of the $84 billion international toy market,but their share is growing,studies indicate.Environmental research firm Earthsense,based in Syracuse,New York,predicts that green toys will account for about $1 billion,or 5 percent of U.S.toy sales in the next f

53、edD.will sell well in the future解析:推理判断题。从最后一段可推知,虽然这种环保玩具目前所占的市场份额较小,但它的前景会很好。答案:DD“Millions of animals die each year on the US roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports.In fact,only about 80 ocelots,an endangered wild cat,exist in the US today.The main reason?Roadkill.“Eco-passages” may h

54、elp animals cross the road without being hit by cars.They are paths both over and under roads.“These eco-passages can be extremely useful,so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.But do animals actually use the eco-passages?The answer is yes.Paul

55、 Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an eco-passage that went under a highway.This showed that the lions used the eco-passage.Builders of eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them.Animals seem to

56、 be catching on.Animals as different as salamanders(火蜥蜴)and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife,look around.You might see an animals overpass!33The author uses the example of “ocelots” to show that .
