Finding fish is going to get harder as climate change continues to heat the world's oceans. A new study finds that warming seas over the past 80 years have reduced the sustainable catch of 80 species of fish and shellfish. The sustainable catch refers to the amount of some species that can be harvested without doing long-term damage to the health of populations.
Overfishing has made that decline worse, researchers say. Overfishing refers to catching so many fish that the size of the population falls. In some parts of the world, such as the heavily fished Sea of Japan, the decrease is as high as 35 percent. That's a loss of more than one in every three fish.
Researchers examined changes in 235 populations of fish and shellfish between 1930 and 2010. Those fish populations spread far apart across 38 ocean regions. Temperature changes varied from one ocean site to another. But on average over that time, Earth's sea-surface temperatures have risen by about half a degree Celsius.
On average, that warming had caused the sustainable catch to drop by 4.1 percent, the study found. About 8 percent of the fish and shellfish populations the team studied saw losses as a result of the ocean warming. However, about 4 percent of some populations increased. That's because certain species have thrived in warmer waters. One example is a kind of black sea fish. It lives along the northeastern U.S. coast. As warming continues, these fish will reproduce faster until they reach their limit.
About 3.2 billion people worldwide rely on seafood as a source of food. That means it's urgent for commercial fishing fleets(捕鱼船队) and regulators(监管机构) to consider how climate change is affecting the health of all of those fish in the sea.
40．What does the new study discover
A．Overfishing is to blame for fish's bad health.
B．Warming seas cause fewer fish and shellfish.
C．Seafood matters to people's health worldwide.
D．The living regions of fish and shellfish are different.
41．What does the underlined word "thrived" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Survived narrowly. B．Disappeared soon.
C．Decreased sharply. D．Developed quickly.
42．What do we know about species of fish and shellfish
A．About 8 percent of them suffered from a great loss.
B．About 35 percent of them survived in the Sea of Japan.
C．About 3.2 billion people have been saving seafood as it is the source of their food.
D．About 80 percent of the fish species have died out because of warming seas in the past 80 years.
43．Where is the text probably from
A．A cooking guide. B．A science magazine.
C．A news review. D．A health brochure.

【点评】考查阅读理解。本篇文章涉及细节理解题，推理判断题和主旨大意题三种题型。细节理解题要求考生能在快速阅读文章的同时，从中获取某些特定的直接信息或理解特定信息的意义。做细节理解题时，要根据题干中的关键词，找准相关句、段的内容，再仔细对照，不符合原文意义的选项要首先排除，反之，则是正确选项。做推理判断题时，要求考生不能凭主观臆断推测或妄加猜测，必须忠实于原文，以材料所提供的相关事实和线索为依据，使做出的推理合乎文意。需要注意：审清题目要求；锁定关键信息；挖掘隐含信息；排除干扰选项；把握语境情感；逻辑推理分析。做主旨大意题时，要求考生抓住每段或每个层次的主要含义进行加工、提炼，通过对语篇结构的分析即对文章内部各层次间的逻辑关系的分析，将每段的主题综合起来，找出文章的中心。
36．细节理解题。根据。第二段中的"The tool is called the SMART. It is designed to be waterproof (防水的) , shockproof and poacher (偷猎者) proof.(该工具称为SMART。它的设计是防水的、防震和防偷猎者的)"及"Since then it has been seen in more than 55 countries where poachers have forced the best-known but most endangered animals to nearly die out(自那以后，它就应用在55多个国家，在这些国家，偷猎者曾迫使最著名但最濒危的动物几乎灭绝)" 可知 SMART 主要被用来防止非法偷猎。我们了解到SMART是C项"It is used to prevent pouching.(它是用来防止非法偷猎)"符合题意，故选C。
37．主旨大意题。通读第三段"SMART works as a very simple smart phone―it lets the user record what they see, like animal sightings， changes in animals and illegal activities. If a park ranger (管理员) sees something that is very important, that information can be sent to the cloud (云) and sent out to the base camp so they can take action and stop the killing. (SMART是一款非常简单的智能手机，它可以让用户记录他们看到的东西，比如动物的出现、动物的变化和非法活动。如果是公园管理员看到一些非常重要的信息，这些信息可以发送到云并被发往大本营，以便他们采取行动阻止杀戮)"可知，该段主要介绍 SMART 是如何帮助公园管理员防止非法偷猎的，阐述SMART 的工作原理。因此，第三段主要是关于D项"How SMART works. (SMART的工作原理)"符合题意，故选D。
38．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的""SMART makes collection of information easier It allows us to pay attention to the things that really important. according to what the information is telling an,"Aid Skim Young, manager of the Etosha National park in Namibia, "thanks to SMART, most of Africa's endangered animals seem to be coming back."("SMART使信息收集变得更容易，它让我们能够关注真正重要的事情。根据信息所传达的信息"，纳米比亚埃托沙国家公园经理艾德·斯克里姆·扬说，"由于SMART，大多数非洲濒危动物似乎都回来了")"可知，艾德·斯克里姆·扬认为，在SMAR 的辅助下，使信息收集变得更容易，非洲的许多濒危动物的数量在回升。因此，艾德·斯克里姆·扬认为SMART的是A项"It is very helpful.(这很有帮助)"符合题意，故选A。
39．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段"Bergl never plans to make money from his small but great invention. SMART is free and doesn't even have a patents(专利). (贝格尔从来没有打算从他小小但伟大的发明中赚钱。SMART是免费的，甚至没有专利)"可知，本文讲述了贝格尔发明的智能设备 SMART可以有效防止非法偷猎，但是他并没有从这个发明中赚钱，可见他是一个富有创造力和大公无私的人。因此，以下最能描述Bergl的一项是C项"He's a creative and giving person(他是一个富有创造力和大公无私的人)"符合题意，故选C。

Finding fish is going to get harder as climate change continues to heat the world's oceans. A new study finds that warming seas over the past 80 years have reduced the sustainable catch of 80 species of fish and shellfish. The sustainable catch refers to the amount of some species that can be harvested without doing long-term damage to the health of populations.
Overfishing has made that decline worse, researchers say. Overfishing refers to catching so many fish that the size of the population falls. In some parts of the world, such as the heavily fished Sea of Japan, the decrease is as high as 35 percent. That's a loss of more than one in every three fish.
Researchers examined changes in 235 populations of fish and shellfish between 1930 and 2010. Those fish populations spread far apart across 38 ocean regions. Temperature changes varied from one ocean site to another. But on average over that time, Earth's sea-surface temperatures have risen by about half a degree Celsius.
On average, that warming had caused the sustainable catch to drop by 4.1 percent, the study found. About 8 percent of the fish and shellfish populations the team studied saw losses as a result of the ocean warming. However, about 4 percent of some populations increased. That's because certain species have thrived in warmer waters. One example is a kind of black sea fish. It lives along the northeastern U.S. coast. As warming continues, these fish will reproduce faster until they reach their limit.
About 3.2 billion people worldwide rely on seafood as a source of food. That means it's urgent for commercial fishing fleets(捕鱼船队) and regulators(监管机构) to consider how climate change is affecting the health of all of those fish in the sea.
40．What does the new study discover
A．Overfishing is to blame for fish's bad health.
B．Warming seas cause fewer fish and shellfish.
C．Seafood matters to people's health worldwide.
D．The living regions of fish and shellfish are different.
41．What does the underlined word "thrived" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Survived narrowly. B．Disappeared soon.
C．Decreased sharply. D．Developed quickly.
42．What do we know about species of fish and shellfish
A．About 8 percent of them suffered from a great loss.
B．About 35 percent of them survived in the Sea of Japan.
C．About 3.2 billion people have been saving seafood as it is the source of their food.
D．About 80 percent of the fish species have died out because of warming seas in the past 80 years.
43．Where is the text probably from
A．A cooking guide. B．A science magazine.
C．A news review. D．A health brochure.

【解析】【分析】本文这是一篇说明文，一项新的研究发现，变暖的海洋减少了鱼类和贝类。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。
40．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"A new study finds that warming seas over the past 80 years have reduced the sustainable(可持续) catch of 124 species(物种) of fish and shellfish. "一项新的研究发现，在过去80年里，海洋变暖已经减少了124种鱼类和贝类的可持续捕捞。可知这项新研究发现了海水变暖导致鱼类和贝类减少。故选B。
41．考查词义猜测。根据倒数第二段中的"However, about 4 percent of some populations increased."然而，大约4%的数量增加了；以及"One example is a kind of black sea fish. It lives along the northeastern U.S. coast. As warming continues, these fish will reproduce faster until they reach their limit."一个例子是一种黑海鱼。 它生活在美国东北部海岸。 随着气候持续变暖，这些鱼将更快地繁殖，直到它们达到极限。可知有些物种发展迅速，That's because certain species have thrived in warmer waters.意思是这是因为某些物种在温暖的水域中发展迅速，"thrived"意思是"发展迅速"，故选D。
42．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的"About 8 percent of the fish and shellfish populations the team studied saw losses as a result of the ocean warming."研究小组研究的大约8%的鱼类和贝类种群由于海洋变暖而减少。故选A。
43．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"A new study finds that warming seas over the past 80 years have reduced the sustainable(可持续) catch of 124 species(物种) of fish and shellfish. "一项新的研究发现，在过去80年里，海洋变暖已经减少了124种鱼类和贝类的可持续捕捞；结合全文，可知这篇文章主要讲了一项新的研究发现，变暖的海洋减少了鱼类和贝类。该文章最可能出现在一本科学杂志上。故选B。
