UNIT 3 SEA EXPLORATION
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分)
A(2024山西太原二模)
Scientists have recently discovered the world’s largest known field of sea grass.They did it using videos shot by some extraordinary helpers.The work should help protect the sea grass,and also shows off a powerful way to explore the ocean.
As a shelter for many sea creatures,sea grasses are flowering plants that normally grow in shallow waters near coasts.They grow in thick fields,known as seagrass meadows (海草床),which help clean the ocean water.More importantly,they are called “ocean lung”.They help in the fight against the climate crisis.That’s because they store huge amounts of carbon—the major source of global warming.Damaging these seagrass meadows can release this pollutant again,making things worse.
Considering the urgent need to protect seagrass meadows,scientists are eager to know about their size and number.However,the meadows can be hard to spot from above,either because the water is too deep or not clear enough.And the ocean is so huge that it’s hard to study them by diving.So scientists decided to have tiger sharks help the research.
Tiger sharks are inborn fast swimmers,and spend a lot of time in seagrass meadows.Between 2016 and 2020,the researchers attached cameras and other trackers to the fins of seven tiger sharks,and then let them go again.The cameras were designed to fall off after hours and float to the surface.Tracking signals helped find the floating cameras and collect the videos the sharks had taken while traveling for miles.Moreover,other tools were used,including satellite images,as well as images taken by divers and boats.
Putting all the information together,the scientists learned that the waters around the Bahamas are home to the largest seagrass meadow ever discovered.And the meadows cover at least 25,500 square miles,and could be as large as 35,500 square miles.
Different from previous studies,the program discovers how useful large underwater animals can be in helping to learn more about life under the sea.Oliver Shipley,a scientist from the team,says animals like tiger sharks are going to take us to new places that we didn’t know existed.
1.Why do seagrass meadows urgently need protection
A.Damaging them will worsen climate crisis.
B.They determine the cleanliness of ocean water.
C.Sea creatures can’t survive without their shelter.
D.Their existence balances the underwater ecosystem.
2.How did tiger sharks help the scientific research
A.By tracking signals scientists sent.
B.By bringing back cameras with videos.
C.By carrying the recording equipment around.
D.By spending a lot of time in seagrass meadows.
3.What is the highlight of the research according to the text
A.Leading scientists.
B.Advanced theories.
C.Multiple experimental tools.
D.Unusual research assistants.
4.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A.Man and Nature Work Together
B.A Novel Way to Explore the Sea
C.Sea Grass:An Undervalued Plant
D.Ocean Lung Measured by Natural Explorers
B(2024福建莆田三模)
Scientists looking to uncover the mysteries of the underwater world have more valuable information thanks to an international team that has produced a list of species confirmed or expected to produce sounds underwater.
Led by Audrey Looby from the University of Florida,the Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds working group collaborated with the World Register of Marine Species to document 729 mammals (哺乳动物),fishes,and invertebrates (无脊椎动物) that produce active or passive sounds.In addition,the list includes another 21,911 species that are considered to likely produce sounds.
With more than 70% of the Earth’s surface covered by water,most of the planet’s habitats are aquatic,and there is a misconception that most aquatic organisms are silent.The newly published comprehensive digital database on what animals are known to make sounds is the first of its kind and can revolutionize marine and aquatic science, the researchers said.
“Listening to underwater sounds can reveal a lot of information about the species that produce them and is useful for a variety of applications,ranging from fisheries management,invasive species detection to assessing human environmental impacts,” said Looby,who also co-created FishSounds,which offers a collection of fish sound production research records.
The team’s research was published in Scientific Data and involved 19 authors from six countries.“Understanding how marine species interact with their environments is of global importance,and this data being freely available is a major step toward that goal,” said Kieran Cox,a member of the research team.
“Most people are familiar with whale or dolphin sounds but are often surprised to learn that many fishes and invertebrates use sounds to communicate,too,” Looby said.“Our database helps demonstrate how widespread underwater sound production really is across a variety of animals,but we still have a lot to learn.”
5.Why is the data listed in paragraph 2
A.To show the types of biological sounds.
B.To show the sum of documents on animals.
C.To show the species of underwater animals.
D.To show the number of the sound-producing species.
6.What is people’s misunderstanding according to the text
A.Many mammals can live in water.
B.Most fishes cannot make sounds.
C.Different species can communicate.
D.Ocean animals can’t get onto the land.
7.What is the goal mentioned by Kieran Cox
A.To document ocean animals’ sounds.
B.To set up a free database for scientists.
C.To learn how ocean animals communicate.
D.To publish the team’s research in Scientific Data.
8.What is the main purpose of the text
A.To call on people to protect ocean animals.
B.To introduce the finding of a research team.
C.To list the animals that can produce sounds.
D.To describe the mysterious underwater world.

答案:
Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们发现了世界上已知的最大的海草场。他们使用一些特殊的助手——虎鲨拍摄的视频来做到这一点。这项工作应该有助于保护海草,同时也展示了一种强大的探索海洋的方式。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They help in the fight against the climate crisis.That’s because they store huge amounts of carbon—the major source of global warming.Damaging these seagrass meadows can release this pollutant again,making things worse.”可知,海草草场迫切需要保护是因为破坏它们将加剧气候危机。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Between 2016 and 2020,the researchers attached cameras and other trackers to the fins of seven tiger sharks,and then let them go again.The cameras were designed to fall off after hours and float to the surface.Tracking signals helped find the floating cameras and collect the videos the sharks had taken while traveling for miles.Moreover,other tools were used,including satellite images,as well as images taken by divers and boats.”可知,虎鲨是通过随身携带记录设备帮助科学研究的。
3.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推知,研究的亮点是不同寻常的助手——虎鲨。
4.D 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了科学家们发现了世界上已知的最大的海草场。他们使用一些特殊的助手——虎鲨拍摄的视频来做到这一点。这项工作应该有助于保护海草,同时也展示了一种强大的探索海洋的方式。故文章最好的标题是“由自然探险家测量的海洋之肺”。

Ⅲ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了被誉为“人间仙境”的旅游胜地——九寨沟。
24.known 考查非谓语动词。分析可知,本句中is为主句的系动词,所以设空处用非谓语动词。be known as作为……而闻名,所以用过去分词。故填known。
25.consists 考查动词时态和主谓一致。分析可知,空处在句中为because引导的时间状语从句的谓语,结合主句的is可知,时态用一般现在时;从句的主语the scenic area为单数含义,consist of由……组成,没有被动形式,所以谓语用第三人称单数形式。故填consists。
26.being 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,设空处为非谓语,句子主语the scenic area与动词be为逻辑上的主谓关系,所以此处用现在分词,故填being。
27.colorful 考查词性转换。空后forests为名词,所以此处用形容词作定语,故填colorful。
28.its 考查形容词性物主代词。features“特点,特征”,为名词,所以此处用形容词性物主代词its作定语。故填its。
29.where 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词为the scenic area,在从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where。
30.the 考查冠词。空处在句中表示特指,指代九寨沟风景名胜区的灵魂,故填the。
31.to 考查介词。visit to... 参观……,故填to。
32.description 考查词性转换。beyond description无法形容,故填description。
33.unforgettable 考查词性转换。experience“体验,经历”,为可数名词,所以用形容词作定语;结合句中“in this fairyland”可知,这种经历是难以忘怀的,故填unforgettable。
