Masks that helped save lives are proving a deadly danger for wildlife,with birds and sea creatures trapped in the shocking number of thrown-away facial coverings.Single-use masks have been found around pavements,waterways and beaches worldwide.Worn once,the thin protective materials can take hundreds of years to decompose.“Face masks aren’t going away any time soon—but when we throw them away,these items can harm the environment and the animals,” Ashley Fruno of animal rights group PETA said.
In Britain,a gull was rescued by the RSPCA after its legs became tangled in the straps of a mask for up to a week.The animal welfare charity took it to a wildlife hospital for treatment before its release.
The biggest impact may be in the water.More than 1.5 billion masks made their way into the world’s oceans last year,accounting for around 6,200 extra tons of ocean plastic pollution,according to environmental group Oceans Asia.
Conservationists in Brazil found one mask inside the stomach of a penguin after its body was washed up on a beach,while a dead pufferfish was discovered caught inside another off the coast of Miami.French campaigners found a dead crab trapped in a mask near the Mediterranean.Masks and gloves are “particularly problematic” for sea creatures,says George Leonard,chief scientist from NGO Ocean Conservancy.“When those plastics break down in the environment,they then enter the food chain and impact entire ecosystems,” he added.
There has been a shift towards greater use of reusable cloth masks as the pandemic has worn on,but many are still using the lighter single-use varieties.Campaigners have urged people to bin them properly and cut the straps to reduce the risk of animals becoming trapped.Oceans Asia has also called on governments to increase fines for littering and encourage the use of washable masks.
1.What’s paragraph 1 mainly about
A.The problem of littering masks.
B.The long time to break down masks.
C.The threat of masks to wildlife.
D.The protective use of masks to people.
2.What did the animal welfare charity do to the gull
A.They gave first aid to the bird.
B.They released the bird at once.
C.They kept the bird for about a week.
D.They sent the bird to hospital.
3.Which measure has been taken to help solve the problem
A.Forbidding the use of single-use masks.
B.Wearing reusable cloth masks.
C.Cutting the masks up before throwing.
D.Increasing fines for binning masks.

Natural silence—the kind when you hear nothing but the sound of nature around you—is becoming increasingly scarce.The rumblings of man-made noise can be heard even in the remote corners of national parks and deep in the Arctic Ocean.
This is having a troubling effect.In humans,noise pollution has been linked to cardiovascular disease,mental health problems and cognitive impairment in children.In wildlife,it’s disrupting navigation,mating rituals,communication and can cause hearing loss.“We’re losing the ability to listen to nature without noise pollution,” says sound recordist Matt Mikkelsen.He’s part of the non-profit organization Quiet Parks International,which aims to identify and preserve the planet’s last quiet places.
Recently,this took him to Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota.No cars,motor boats,electricity or telephone lines are allowed in the 1-million-acre area,making it a strong candidate for Quiet Park status.But listening back to the recording,Mikkelsen can hear the low hum of a commercial jet flying far away.
Quiet Parks hasn’t yet decided if Boundary Waters meets its criteria—it’s one of 260 potential sites around the world that the organization is currently exploring.The team will analyze the sound recordings from each location and consider them alongside other data.
In recent years,the world has been getting louder,with cities and towns expanding and an increasing number of beeping cars,whooshing airplanes and cargo ships with blasting horns.But during the COVID-19 pandemic,there has been momentary respite.In 2020,global air travel was down by 60% and road transport decreased by almost half.Scientists in Europe found that noise caused by humans fell by up to 50% after lockdowns were imposed.
“People relished the silence,” says Mikkelsen.“There were no airplanes in the sky and cars weren’t on the street...It was a miraculous thing to be able to hear the world,all of a sudden,free from noise pollution,”he says.Since the start of the pandemic,Quiet Parks says it has experienced a huge surge in interest for quiet places.“I hope that we can take that desire for a world with less noise forward,” says Mikkelsen,“and appreciate the spots we have,where we can go and not experience noise pollution.”
4.What does the underlined word “scarce” probably mean in paragraph 1
A.Ordinary. B.Special.
C.Rare. D.Typical.
5.What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A.Why we’re losing the ability to listen to nature.
B.How noise pollution affects humans and wildlife.
C.Why noise pollution is linked to certain disease.
D.How should humans deal with noise pollution.
6.What is Mikkelsen’s attitude towards natural silence
A.Supportive. B.Critical.
C.Indifferent. D.Ambiguous.
7.Where is the text probably from
A.A journal. B.An autobiography.
C.A book review. D.A science fiction.

Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了曾经帮助拯救生命的口罩,现在被证明对野生动物是致命的危险,鸟类和海洋生物被困在数量惊人的丢弃的面部覆盖物中。文章列举了一些口罩对野生动物造成威胁的例子和对此问题的解决措施。
1.C 主旨大意题。根据第一段可知,动物权利组织PETA的Ashley Fruno说:“口罩不会在短时间内消失——但当我们扔掉它们时,这些东西会损害环境和动物。”可知,第一段主要讲了口罩对野生动物的威胁。故选C项。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The animal welfare charity took it to a wildlife hospital for treatment before its release.”可知,动物福利慈善机构把这只海鸥送到了医院。故选D项。
3.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“There has been a shift towards greater use of reusable cloth masks as the pandemic has worn on,but many are still using the lighter single-use varieties.”可知,已经采取了佩戴可重复使用的口罩的措施来帮助解决这个问题。故选B项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。噪声污染日益加剧,危害人和动物的健康。作者呼吁人们回归自然,感受宁静。
4.C 词义猜测题。画线词所在句意为“自然的宁静变得越来越……”,再根据后一句“即使在国家公园的偏远角落和北冰洋深处,也能听到人为噪声”并结合选项可推知,自然的宁静越来越稀少。
5.B 段落大意题。根据第二段中的“This is having a troubling effect”“In humans”和“In wildlife”可知,本段主要围绕噪声对人和动物的不良影响展开,讲述了噪声污染对人的身心健康造成极大危害,并且对野生动物也造成影响。
6.A 观点态度题。由文章最后一段中的“I hope that we can take that desire for a world...and not experience noise pollution”可知,Mikkelsen非常享受大自然带来的宁静,他希望能找到一个宁静的地方远离噪声污染,由此可知他喜欢、支持自然界的宁静。
7.A 文章类型题。通读全文可知本文主要讲的是噪声污染日益加剧,它危害了人类和野生动物,属于社科类文章。B项为“自传”,C项为“书评”,D项为“科幻小说”。Unit 5分层跟踪检测(三)Developing ideas & Presenting ideas & Reflection

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Michelle was eight years old when she heard Mom and Dad talking about her little brother,Jack,now only a baby.He was very sick and they were completely out of money.Only a very expensive operation could save Jack now but there was no one from whom they could borrow the money.She heard Dad say to her sad mom,“Only a miracle can save him now.”
Hearing the words,Michelle went to her bedroom and took out all the coins from her little money box.After counting the coins three times,she walked out of the back door secretly and made her way to the drugstore six blocks away.
She waited for a long time before the pharmacist(药剂师)turned around and asked her,“What do you want ”
“Well,it’s about my brother,” Michelle answered.“He’s really,really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”
“I beg your pardon ” said the pharmacist.“His name is Jack and he has something very bad growing inside his body and Daddy says only a miracle can save him now.So how much does a miracle cost ”
“We don’t sell miracles here,little girl.I’m sorry but I can’t help you,”the pharmacist said.“Listen,I have the money to pay for it.” And with these words,Michelle poured out all the coins from her pockets.At that time,a well-dressed man behind Michelle bent down and asked the little girl,“I’m selling the miracle you want.Tell me how much money you have.”
“One dollar and eleven cents,” Michelle answered in a low voice.“And it’s all the money I have,but I can get some more if necessary.”
“Well,” the man smiled,“a dollar and eleven cents is the exact price of a miracle for your little brother.Show me the place where your brother lives.”

Dear editor,
I am much shocked by the sad news that over 1,400 dolphins were killed recently.
As is known to all,the dolphin is a kind of lovely sea animal,with a much higher IQ than most of the other animals.In some large aquariums,you can see dolphins performing various skills for visitors.Watching dolphins performing has now become a must for visitors to the aquarium,especially children.
In my opinion,the outdated tradition of hunting dolphins must be stopped at once.We should take all necessary measures to educate people and give better protection to the dolphins.
Hope we can do more to raise people’s awareness of wildlife protection.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
Ⅵ.Holding the man’s hand,Michelle took him home.Her parents couldn’t believe their ears when they heard her explanation.That well-dressed man turned out to be a doctor.Later,Jack was taken away.The operation was completed with a payment of one dollar and eleven cents and it wasn’t long before Jack was home and got well again.Michelle was very happy.Now she knew the exact price of a miracle — one dollar and eleven cents plus the faith of a little child.
“We can’t repay you for your help,but we believe that good things happen to good people,”said Michelle’s parents.The man told them his story.When he was Jack’s age,he was in the same situation as Jack.It was his sister who saved his life.Finally,the man said to them,“It doesn’t matter how much money Michelle actually had with her.What matters is her faith,a faith that miracles do exist.So the person you really have to thank is Michelle.”Unit 5分层跟踪检测(二)Using language

Everything you do to protect the planet helps all living things,including humpbacks(座头鲸) and other species of whales that live in oceans worldwide.And yes —just one kid,like you,can make a difference.Here are ideas for easy,small things you can do.
Here are 6 actions you can take to make a difference.
Don’t litter.
Trash thrown away carelessly outside is often washed into storm drains,which empty into rivers and streams that eventually flow to the oceans.Pollution is a growing problem for all the Earth’s oceans and its wildlife,including whales.
2
Whether you are buying toys,snacks or clothes,tell the checkout person you don’t need a bag.By carrying your own reusable bag,you’ll help reduce the 100 million plastic bags that each year block sewer(下水道),and get swallowed by whales,sea turtles,and other wildlife.
Plant a tree.
3 They produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide,a gas that animals,including humans,produce naturally as they breathe.But because CO2 also comes from cars and factories,there is too much of it in the atmosphere,which is contributing to global warming.If everyone planted one tree,those trees would remove a large amount of CO2 from the atmosphere.
4
Every time you leave a room for more than a minute,turn off the light you were using.In this way,you save energy and keep greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.
Use rechargeable batteries only.
You’d have to use hundreds of single-use batteries to equal the energy you’d get from one rechargeable battery. 5 Be sure to recycle all batteries to keep harmful metals from entering the environment.
Try the family challenge!
Many streams and rivers are polluted and littered with trash.You and your family can help preserve the waterways by joining others in your community to pick up trash.
A.Turn off the light.
B.Plastic bags do great harm.
C.Say:“No bags,thank you.”
D.You can help save this whale’s habitat!
E.Use rechargeable batteries to reduce waste.
F.Tips to save energy.
G.Trees help clean the air we breathe.

One morning in early fall,I spotted a pair of wild geese on our pond.The beautiful sight caught me by 1 ,because we’d never seen geese there before.I wondered where they came from and why they’d 2 our pond.As the days passed,I couldn’t 3 getting a closer look and started talking to the geese.They craned their necks and raised their heads 4 but seemed to realize I was a friend and not an enemy.I felt 5 we were bonding.
One day as they were feeding in the grass near the driveway,I discovered the reason for their 6 —the male had a broken left wing.He was 7 to fly,and his lifelong mate would not leave him behind.I marveled at the 8 between them.
I asked a wildlife biologist friend what I should do.He explained that sometime a broken wing will heal by itself and suggested letting 9 take its course.
10 the first day of November,I was working in the vicinity(在……附近) of the geese with my tractor.I caught some 11 from the corner of my eye.

Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者意外地发现自己家的池塘里有一对大雁,后来作者发现它们长时间在他家逗留是因为公雁的左翅膀折断了,没法飞行。母雁一直陪在它身边不离不弃,直到它的翅膀痊愈可以再次飞行,它们对彼此的忠诚让作者永生难忘。
1.B 根据下文中的“we’d never seen geese there before”可知,作者突然看到大雁出现在自己家的池塘里,感到很惊讶。
2.C 作者疑惑于这两只大雁为什么选择停留在他家的池塘。
3.A 短语can’t resist doing sth.意为“忍不住/禁不住做某事”。作者对这两只大雁的到来感到疑惑,所以忍不住靠近它们,想对它们有更多的了解。
4.D 由“not an enemy”可知大雁对靠近它们的人类很警惕。句意:它们伸长了脖子,小心翼翼地抬起头,但似乎意识到我是朋友,而不是敌人。
5.D 根据下文“as if to say goodbye”可知,后来作者和大雁成为朋友。作者觉得与它们之间似乎开始建立起一种感情。
6.C 本句解释大雁到他家池塘的原因,呼应上文“I wondered where they came from and why they’d our pond”。
7.A 公雁因为翅膀受伤,所以不能飞。
8.A 从下文可知,公雁不能飞,母雁留下来陪着它。作者体会到两只大雁之间生死相依的紧密关系。
9.B 这位野生生物学家朋友建议作者什么都不要做,顺其自然。let nature take its course意为“顺其自然,任其自然发展”。
10.C 表示在具体的某一天,用介词on。
11.D 根据下文“Both geese were running toward the pond,wings beating ”可知,大雁向池塘跑来,当然会有一些动静。
12.A 根据下一句中的“gained enough altitude to clear a neighbor’s house”可知,受伤的大雁能飞了,大雁飞得很高,使劲地拍打翅膀。
13.B 句意:两只大雁飞得足够高,高到能越过邻居家的屋子,然后又盘旋着向我飞来,在距离我头顶上不到50英尺的地方飞行,好像要跟我说再见。根据语境可知,它们在一定的区域内飞行不降落盘旋飞行,也表现出大雁对作者的依依不舍。
14.B 根据下文I miss them可知,作者已经将两只大雁看作自己的朋友,已经喜欢上它们。grow fond of意为“渐渐喜欢上”。
15.D 根据第二段中的“and his lifelong mate would not leave him behind”和“marveled at the between them”可知,作者体会到它们对彼此的忠诚。
