【语篇解读】本文是说明文。珊瑚礁是海洋生物的必要组成部分。然而,气候
变化造成了珊瑚白化。科学家们进行了研究,在水下使用扬声器来吸引鱼群,以
帮助恢复受损的珊瑚礁。
1.Whatisthefirstparagraphmainlyabout?
A.Theimportanceofcoralreefs.
B.Theinfluenceofclimatechange.
C.Theperfectplaceforseaspecies.
D.Theecosystem’sdiversityandcomplexity.
答案A[段落大意题。根据第一段内容可知,珊瑚礁是海洋生物的必要组成部
分,不但为各种海洋生物提供住所和栖息地,还提供和回收利用营养物质,使鱼
类种群与其他物种一起繁荣发展,形成一个健康和多样化的生态系统。由此可推
知,本段主要讲述了珊瑚礁的重要性。]
2.What’sthepurposeofusingspeakersunderwater?
A.Tomakefishmoreactive.
B.Totestdamagedcoralreefs.
C.Tohelprecovertheecosystem.
D.Tohelpspeedthegrowthofcoralreefs.
答案C[细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,为了修复珊瑚礁这一脆弱的生态
系统,科学家们在水下使用了扬声器。]
3.WhichofthefollowingisTRUEabouttheexperiment?
A.Itwasn’tcarriedoutinthelargestcoralreefsystem.
B.Itdrewmuchpublicattention.
C.Ithasbroughtdeadcoralreefsbacktolife.
D.Theloudspeakerswerehelpfulinattractingfish.
答案D[正误判断题。根据第四段中的“Byusingloudspeakers...wherenosounds
wereplayed.”可知,与没有播放声音的地方相比,在该实验中用扬声器产生的声
音为死去的珊瑚礁吸引了两倍多的鱼。]
4.WhatisMarkMeekan’sattitudetowardstheuseofspeakers?
A.Doubtful.B.Positive.
C.Disappointed.D.Indifferent.
答案B[观点态度题。根据最后一段MarkMeekan说的话可知,扬声器可以吸
引鱼群,鱼群虽然不会使死珊瑚礁自动复活,但其恢复过程依赖鱼来清洁珊瑚礁,
以给珊瑚重新生长的空间,由此可推知,MarkMeekan对使用扬声器持肯定的态
度。]

【语篇解读】本文是议论文。文章以一个付出巨大代价保护冰川的实例告诉人
们,看起来气候变化可以在不改变人类行为的情况下得到解决,但不同的人对此
有不同的看法,比如有人认为科技不能帮助人类在不改变自身行为的前提下修正
气候变化;有人对人类控制气候的说法感到一丝恐惧等。
5.WhydoestheauthormentionJasonBox’sexperimentinthefirstparagraph?
A.Tointroduceapossiblesolutiontoclimatechange.
B.Todescribeamisleadingattempttofixtheclimate.
C.Toreportonasuccessfulexperimentonsavingtheglacier.
D.Toarousepeople’sattentiontotheproblemofglobalwarming.
答案B[写作意图题。根据第二段中的“Thisexperiment...giveusafreeride”可知,
作者认为这个实验会给人们一种错误的希望,但其实气候变化在不改变人类行为
的情况下不能得到修正。由此可知,作者在第一段提到JasonBox的实验是为了
描述一次具有误导性的修正气候的尝试。]
6.WhichstatementwouldRalphKingmostprobablyagreewith?
A.Thefightagainstclimatechangewillnotsucceed.
B.Technologyisnotthefinalsolution,letaloneitshighcost.
C.It’sbesttodealwithclimatechangewithoutchangingourbehaviour.
D.Jason’sexperimentplaysasignificantroleinfixingclimatechange.
答案B[推理判断题。根据第二段RalphKing所说的话可推知,RalphKing认
为用科技解决气候问题花费高,且科技不是最终解决方案。]
7.WhatisGreyChilds’attitudetohuman’scontrollingtheclimate?
A.Favourable.B.Tolerant.
C.Doubtful.D.Unclear.
答案C[观点态度题。根据第三段中的“Justthemention...back”“Something
sounded...byourownwill”可知,GreyChilds认为人类控制气候听起来就有点让人
害怕,故GreyChilds对此持怀疑态度。]
8.Whichofthefollowingisasuitabletitleforthetext?
A.Butshouldwefixtheclimate?
B.Isclimatechangearealproblem?
C.Howcanwetakecareoftheearth?
D.Whatifalltheglaciersdisappeared?
答案A[标题归纳题。第一段作者介绍了JasonBox拯救冰川的实验;第二段
作者认为此次实验传递给人们错误的希望,并认为在不改变人类行为的情况下科
技不能修正气候变化;第三段作者介绍了不同人对人类控制气候的看法;第四段
作者认为地球有自己的规律,我们应顺其自然。故本文可用A项(但是我们应该
修正气候吗?)作标题。]
