rMyken?A.Itisperfectinsizeforsmallislands.B.Itcansendelectricitytofarawayplaces.C.Itwillrestorelocalnaturalenvironment.D.Itprovidesgreenandsustainableenergy.【解析】选D。推理推断题。由第三段的其次句话可知,氢气产生的“原材料”来自于大自然的太阳和风,结合其次段的第一句话,Myken在大海深处,应当自己照看好自己。可见Myken由于地理位置的特殊性,接电缆发电耗资大,而且没有完全的保障,氢气发电站环保又自给自足,故选D项。25.WhatismainlytalkedaboutinParagraph4?A.Thestudyontheenergystorage.B.Thetestonthehydrogensystem.C.Theexperimentontherawmaterials.D.Theresearchontheinnovationofthepilot.【解析】选B。段落大意题。结合第四段的第一、二两句可知,Myken的方案吸引了好几家科技公司,他们目前在进行试行支配。也就是说,方案现在处于试验性阶段。故选B项。26.Accordingtothepassage,ahydrogenplantwill.

A.producepurifiedseawaterB.provemoretechnicallyreliableC.contributeinmorethanonewayD.benefitfromthedistillationprocess【解析】选C。推理推断题。由第四段可知,在试验性阶段,探讨者对氢气发电站的可行性进行了试验,发觉氢气发电站除了发电还可以有其他用处,由此可见,氢气发电站在许多方面都做出了贡献。故选C项。27.WhatdoesKyrreSundseththinkoftheproject?A.Promising.B.Systematic.C.Irreplaceable.D.Timesaving.【解析】选A。推理推断题。由最终一段可知,KyrreSundseth说,单单挪威就有大约300个岛长年只有少部分人居住,这些岛或许适合运用这一技术。从全球来看,大约有10000个类似的岛。他的字里行间都表达了这一技术(建立氢气发电站)有很大的市场,即他认为这一方案有前途,有前景。故选A项。CAresearchpaperrecentlyreportedthattheChinesepaddlefish(中华鲟)—oneoftheworld’slargestfreshwaterfish—hasbeendeclaredextinct.ScientistssaytheChinesepaddlefishanditscloserelativeshavebeenaroundforatleast200millionyears.Thespecies,reachinguptosevenmetersinlength,survivedunimaginablechanges,suchasthemassextinctionthatkilledthedinosaurs.Butthere’sonephenomenonthisancientspecies,sometimescalledthe“pandaoftheYangtze”,couldnotsurvivehumans.TheirhugesizeandplentifulfleshmadethemapopulartargetforfishermenandawelcomeadditiontoinnertablesinChina.Inthe1970s,25tonsofpaddlefishwereharvestedperyearonaverage.ButtheconstructionoftheGezhoubaDamontheYangtzeforeverchangedtheYangtzeRiverhabitatofpaddlefish,becauseitwasconstructedwithoutafishladderorsidewayandcutoffthepaddlefishfromtheironlybreeding(繁殖)groundsupstream.Populationsofthefishcontinuedtodecreaseafterthecompletionofthedamin1981,butnobodyhadyetfiguredouthowterriblethesituationwas.Asisoftenthecase,therecanbeasignificantdelaybetweenmajordisturbancesandtheirconsequence.Theresearcherssaythefishhadbecomefunctionallyextinctby1993,meaningtherewerenotenoughfishtomeaningfullyreproduce.PanWenjingisanoceanexpertwithGreenpeaceEastAsia.ShetoldTheAssociatedPresstheextinctionoftheChinesepaddlefishwas“ahugeloss”fornature.ShesaidthedevelopmentconfirmsthattheYangtzeRiverisexperiencingmajorenvironmentaldamage.“TheecosystemoftheYangtzeRiverisclosetoitsbreakingpointduetohumanactivityinpastdecades.”Pansaid.“Thepaddlefish’sextinctionshouldserveasawake-upcalltoprotectotherfreshwaterspecies.Movingforward,weneedtobalancetheneedsofhumanswiththeneedsoflifeinriversandseas.Humansshouldnotlivealoneonthisplanet.”【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了素有“长江熊猫”之称的中华鲟灭亡的缘由。28.WhatcanwesayabouttheChinesepaddlefish?A.Itisthelargestfish.B.Itappearedearlierthandinosaurs.C.Itisakindofancientfish.D.Itwasawelcomedishforthefishermen.【解析】选C。微小环节理解题。依据其次段中的ScientistssaytheChinesepaddlefishanditscloserelativeshavebeenaroundforatleast200millionyears.可知,科学家说中华鲟和它的近亲已经存在了至少2亿年。以及Butthere’sonephenomenonthisancientspecies,sometimescalledthe“pandaoftheYangtze”,couldnotsurvivehumans.但是有一种现象,这种古老的物种,有时被称为“长江熊猫”,无法在人类的生活中存活下来。由此可知,中华鲟是一个古老的物种。故选C。29.WhatisParagraph4mainlyabout?A.ThedesignproblemsoftheGezhoubaDam.B.TheworseningecosystemintheYangtzeRiver.C.ThepopulationdevelopmentoftheChinesepaddlefish.D.ThemainreasonforthedyingoutoftheChinesepaddlefish.【解析】选D。段落大意题。阅读第四段第一句内容(但长江葛洲坝的修建恒久变更了中华鲟在长江中的栖息地,因为它的修建没有鱼梯,也没有侧边,切断了中华鲟在上游唯一的繁殖地。)可知,本段介绍了导致中华鲟最终灭亡的主要缘由。故选D。30.HowdoesPanWenjingfeelabouttheextinctionoftheChinesepaddlefish?A.Angry. B.Doubtful.C.Worried. D.Unconcerned.【解析】选C。观点看法题。依据最终一段中的Thepaddlefish’sextinctionshouldserveasawake-upcalltoprotectotherfreshwaterspecies.Movingforward,weneedtobalancetheneedsofhumanswiththeneedsoflifeinriversandseas.Humansshouldnotlivealoneonthisplanet.中华鲟的灭亡应当为爱惜其他淡水物种敲响警钟。进一步说,我们须要平衡人类的须要与河流和海洋生命的须要。人类不应当独自生活在这个星球上。由此可推断,潘文静对中华鲟的灭亡感到担忧。A.Angry生气的;B.Doubtful怀疑的;C.Worried担忧的;D.Unconcerned不担忧的。故选C。31.InwhichsectionofTheAssociatedPressmaythistextmostprobablyappear?A.Environment. B.Science.C.Culture. D.Tourism.【解析】选A。文章出处题。通读全文可知,文章主要聚焦于“人为的环境破坏导致中华鲟的灭亡”。由此可知,这篇文章最有可能出现在美联社的环境版面。A.Environment环境;B.Science科学;C.Culture文化;D.Tourism旅游。故选A。【点评】做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性地找出相关语句进行细致分析,结合选项选出正确答案。做题时要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱揣测,确定要做到有理有据。D(2024·福州高一检测)RecordfiressweepingacrosstheAmazonhavebeencatchingglobalheadlinesasscientistsandenvironmentalgroupsareworriedthattheywillworsenclimatechangeandthreatenbiodiversity(生物多样性).Asthelargestrainforestintheworld,theAmazonisoftencalled“thelungsoftheworld”.Itisalsohometoabout3millionspeciesofplantsandanimals,and1millionlocalpeople.Thevastlandsofrainforestplayanimportantroleintheworld’secosystembecausetheytakeinheatinsteadofitbeingreflectedbackintotheatmosphere.Theyalsostorecarbondioxide(二氧化碳)andproduceoxygen,makingsurethatlesscarbonisgivenoff,mitigatingtheeffectsofclimatechange.“Anyforestdestroyedisathreattobiodiversityandthepeoplewhousethatbiodiversity,”ThomasLovejoy,anecologistatGeorgeMasonUniversitytoldNationalGeographic.“Theshockingthreatisthatalotofcarbongoesintotheatmosphere,”hestressed.“Facingtheglobalclimatechange,wecannotaffordmoredamagetoamajorsourceofoxygenandbiodiversity.TheAmazonmustbeprotected,”U.N.SecretaryGeneralAntonioGuterressaid.DatafromtheNationalInstituteforSpaceResearch(INPE)showsthatthenumberofforestfiresinBrazilquicklyincreasedby82percentfromJanuarytoAugustthisyearfromayearago.Atotalof71,497forestfireswererecordedinthecountryinthefirsteightmonthsof2024,upfrom39,194inthesameperiodin2024,INPEsaid.“It’sreportedthattheforestareasintheBrazilianAmazonhavedecreasedsomethingbetween20and30percentcomparedtothelast12months,”CarlosNobre,aresearcherattheUniversityofSaoPaulo,toldGermanbroadcasterDeutscheWelle.Brazilownsabout60percentoftheAmazonrainforest,whosedropcouldhavesevereresultsforglobalclimateandrainfall.Thesizeofthearearuinedbyfireshasyettobedetermined,buttheemergencyhastranscended(超出)Brazil’sborders,reachingPeruvian,ParaguayanandBolivianareas.【语篇概述】本文主要讲解并描述了席卷亚马孙的创纪录大火已成为全球头条新闻。科学家和环境组织担忧这会加剧气候变更并威逼生物多样性。32.Whatisthesecondparagraphmainlytalkingabout?A.Theeffectsofclimatechange.B.TheroleoftheAmazonrainforest.C.TheresultsoftheAmazonrainforestfires.D.Thecausesofthedecreasingbiodiversity.【解析】选B。微小环节理解题。依据文章其次段其次、三句,它也是大约300万种动植物和100万土著的家园。广袤的热带雨林地区在世界生态系统中发挥着重要作用,因为它们吸取热量而不是将热量反射回大气中。可知,本段主要讲解并描述了亚马孙雨林起到的重要作用,结合选项,故选B。33.Whichofthefollowingbestexplains“mitigating”underlinedinParagraph2?A.Easing. B.Causing.C.Worsening.
