Unit 6 Nature in words
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每题2.5分,共17.5分)
A
People usually take quite a few holidays abroad and in the country each year.Choices made about where to go,how to get there and what to do can either benefit or harm the environment.
While on holiday
Many of the things you can do to be greener on holiday will be the same things you can do at home,but there are also some extra things too,like avoiding gifts made from endangered plants and animals.Here are some suggestions:
·Making the most of locally produced food and drinks,and local activities and attractions will support people in the area you are visiting and reduce the need for further environmental influence from transport.
·Switching off any air conditioning,heating and lights when you don’t use them will help reduce climate change effect.
·Save water—some countries suffer from water shortages and saving water can help avoid damage to our natural habitats.
Endangered species
Some gifts and foods available in some countries can be made from endangered plants or animals.Check before you buy,but if you doubt,avoid animal and plant gifts.More details of the types of products to avoid any illegal trade hot spots can be found on the related web page.
Making a positive contribution to the place you are visiting
There are ways in which your holiday can help support local people and the environment.
·There are many opportunities to volunteer and help with projects that conserve and improve natural habitats.
·When you are away,or if you are looking for somewhere to visit,you can support projects or attractions which protect wildlife,such as nature reserves and conservation projects.
( )1.What can we do to help reduce climate change effect
[A] We can make good use of water.
[B] We can buy local food and drinks.
[C] We can save electricity.
[D] We can go around on foot.
( )2.We should check the gifts and foods before buying because .
[A] sometimes they are of poor quality
[B] they may not be typical local products
[C] some of them will do harm to our health
[D] they may be made from endangered animals or plants
( )3.What’s the passage mainly about
[A] Travel enjoyment.
[B] The harm to the environment.
[C] Protection of endangered animals.
[D] Greener choices for holiday.
B
Every year,as the surface water temperature off the United States’ mid-Atlantic coast rises steadily from late spring through the summer,a pocket of uncharacteristically cool and crisp water gets trapped at the bottom of the ocean.Packed with nutrients,this thick band of cold water,known as the mid-Atlantic cold pool,is a vital home for shellfish species.Extending at its seasonal peak from Nantucket,Massachusetts,to Cape Hatteras,North Carolina,the cold pool creates a diverse ecosystem ranging from algae (海藻) to fish—and some of the most valuable shellfish fisheries in the United States.
Now,however,two pressures have scientists worrying about whether the cold pool will last.The first is no surprise: climate change.Over the past five decades,climate change has destabilised the cold pool,causing it to warm and pared with 1968,the cold pool is now 13℃ warmer and has lost more than one-third of its area.
The second concern is less certain.In 2023,the US federal government approved plans to install (安装) 98 wind turbines (涡轮机) off the New Jersey coast,covering an area of more than 300 square kilometres.Yet putting so many turbines to the seafloor could have unexpected consequences for the cold pool.That’s why Travis Miles,a researcher at New Jersey’s Rutgers University,and his colleagues are investigating.So far,Miles and his colleagues can’t definitively say what will happen to the cold pool,saying more research is needed to assess how climate change and offshore wind farm,together,could affect the cold pool.However,their initial analysis suggest the cold pool should be fine—at least in normal conditions.
New Jersey’s offshore wind plans are strongly opposed mainly by fossil fuel-industry funded efforts.Miles worries that an overabundance of caution or fear of potential impacts,
including on the cold pool,might slow down the development of renewable energy.“...it’s quite clear that climate change is far more damaging than installing wind farms,” he says.“I don’t think any scientist would argue with that.”
( )4.What do we know about the mid-Atlantic cold pool
[A] It forms in early spring.
[B] It’s a band of cold near-bottom water.
[C] It serves as a habitat of most sea species.
[D] It extends from Nantucket to New Jersey.
( )5.What does the underlined word “shrink” in Paragraph 2 mean
[A] Break down. [B] Get polluted.
[C] Dry up. [D] Become smaller.
( )6.Miles’ attitude towards installing wind farms can be described as .
[A] supportive
[B] dismissive
[C] overcautious
[D] skeptical
( )7.What is the best title for the text
[A] The Cold Pool Plays a Role on Species
[B] Opinions Divide on Offshore Wind Farms

[语篇导读] 本文是说明文。文章介绍了福建省福鼎市的大嵛山岛。
1.【答案】 for
【解析】 考查介词。be known for...为固定短语,意为“以……而闻名”。故填 for。
2.【答案】 revealing
【解析】 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,reveal与其逻辑主语Its coast 构成主动关系,故用现在分词短语作状语。故填revealing。
3.【答案】 was listed
【解析】 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。由句意可知,主语与谓语之间构成被动关系;根据下文中的“in 2005”可知,应用一般过去时的被动语态;且主语为It,谓语应用单数。故填was listed。
4.【答案】 an
【解析】 考查冠词。island为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且uninhabited 的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
5.【答案】 original
【解析】 考查形容词。空处修饰名词form,应用形容词形式。故填original。
6.【答案】 which/that
【解析】 考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词spot,指代先行词在从句中作主语,先行词指物,所以用关系代词which/that。故填which/that。
7.【答案】 popularity
【解析】 考查名词。空处作动词的宾语,应用名词形式。故填popularity。
8.【答案】 destinations
【解析】 考查名词复数。destination“目的地”是可数名词,其前无冠词或代词等修饰,应填复数形式。故填destinations。
9.【答案】 to swim
【解析】 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处与to bring并列,remember not to do sth意为“记得不要做某事”,为固定用法。故填to swim。
10.【答案】 gradually
【解析】 考查副词。空处应用副词形式修饰动词disappears。故填gradually。

1.【解析】 考查介词。be known for...为固定短语,意为“以……而闻名”。故填 for。
2.【解析】 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,reveal与其逻辑主语Its coast 构成主动关系,故用现在分词短语作状语。故填revealing。
3.【解析】 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。由句意可知,主语与谓语之间构成被动关系;根据下文中的“in 2005”可知,应用一般过去时的被动语态;且主语为It,谓语应用单数。故填was listed。
4.【解析】 考查冠词。island为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且uninhabited 的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
5.【解析】 考查形容词。空处修饰名词form,应用形容词形式。故填original。
6.【解析】 考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词spot,指代先行词在从句中作主语,先行词指物,所以用关系代词which/that。故填which/that。
7.【解析】 考查名词。空处作动词的宾语,应用名词形式。故填popularity。
8.【解析】 考查名词复数。destination“目的地”是可数名词,其前无冠词或代词等修饰,应填复数形式。故填destinations。
9.【解析】 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处与to bring并列,
remember not to do sth意为“记得不要做某事”,为固定用法。故填to swim。
10.【解析】 考查副词。空处应用副词形式修饰动词disappears。故填gradually。
