Ⅰ.阅读理解

By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate,according to a new study.
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms (海洋微生物)called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide (二氧化碳)into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3℃,it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton,and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing,” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”
And why does that matter Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.
Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change, Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”

My previous home had a stand of woods behind it and many animals in the backyard. That first year, I 1 feeding peanuts to the blue jays, then the squirrels. The squirrels had no 2 coming up right to me for them. As the months went by,the rabbits saw that I was no 3 and didn’t escape. When I threw carrot slices (薄片), they even came for a nibble (啃).

A few months later,while 10 , she would even turn her back to me. 11 when she was facing away, I reached out and 12 scratched (搔)her back with my finger. She didn’t move.
By year three, the rabbits and the groundhog were back. The groundhog 13 didn’t have a problem with me scratching her back, and I got an idea. I’d always 14 while slicing up carrots, that the end looked like a cap. 15 one day, just to see what she would do, I gently 16 one on top of the groundhog’s head. Again, not a 17 . The next time, I had my camera ready to record what you see here, one of several dozen such pictures. 18 she had a slice to eat, she never 19 the one on her head. It was a fair 20 I got a pleasure, and she had yet another tasty treat.

参考答案:
Ⅰ.语篇解读:本文为说明文,主题语境为人与自然,主题语境内容为人与环境。气候变暖导致了海洋浮游植物的变化,进而影响到海洋颜色的变化。文章侧重于引导学生关注自然生态,增强环境保护的意识。
1. B 主旨大意题。文章第一段给出了海洋颜色变化的原因,第二段具体说明了海洋颜色变化的原因在于海洋浮游植物的类型和浓度的变化。综上所述,前两段主要说明了海洋颜色变化的原因,故选B项。
2. A 词义猜测题。根据下文气候变暖改变了海洋的主要特点,影响了浮游植物的生长,结合关键词 changes和 affect可综合推断出浮游植物对海洋变暖的趋势是比较敏感的故选A项(敏感的)。B:有益的;C:重大的;D:不被注意的。
3. D 推理判断题。根据第四段中 But in some waters, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton,and these areas will turn greener.可知,在更适宜浮游植物生长的地方,海洋的颜色会变得更绿,故选D项(有更多浮游植物的海洋可能看上去更绿)。
4. C 推理判断题。根据全文,尤其是中心段落第一段中the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate可知,文章的主要目的是解释气候变化对海洋尤其是其颜色的影响,故选C项。A项(评估海洋颜色变化产生的后果)、B项(分析海洋食物链的构成)和D项(介绍一种研究浮游植物的新方法)均不符合文章目的,故排除。
Ⅱ.语篇解读:本文为记叙文。文章讲述了作者通过给动物喂食和它们慢慢亲近的过程。尤其是土拨鼠一开始很害怕人,先跟着兔子吃作者给的胡萝卜,后来作者搔它的背也不抗拒,最后作者可以放个相机在它头上来记录它的生活。
1. B 在第一年“我”开始给冠蓝鸦和松鼠喂花生,故选 started avoid避免;cancel取消;suggest建议。

10. A 当土拨鼠在吃胡萝卜的时候,它甚至会背对着“我”,故选eating。
11. B 曾经当它没有面对“我”的时候,“我”小心地用手指搔它的背,它没有动。这里描述的是一次经历,故选once。

16. B “我”轻轻地把一个放在它的头上,故选 placed。fix使固定;hang悬挂;keep保持。
17. B 这句话中 again提示该句与第二段的最后一句对应,即这一次,它也没有动,故用 move tremble颤抖;delay延误;hesitation犹豫。
