Moenjodaro, a World Heritage site in the Indus River 510 kilometers (316 miles) from Karachi, was built in the Bronze Age, some 5,000 years ago.“Unfortunately we witnessed the mass destruction at the site,” reads a letter from the Culture, Tourism, Antiquities & Archives Department Government of Sindh sent to UNESCO and signed by director Ihsan Ali Abbasi and architect Naveed Ahmed Sangah.The letter adds the site was being used as temporary accommodation for surrounding residents whose own homes had flooded.
Moenjodaro's significance can't be underestimated.When it was added to UNESCO's register in 1980, the organization wrote that Moenjodaro “bears exceptional testimony(证明) to the Indus civilization,” comprising “the most ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent”.
The letter explains some of the immediate actions the site team has taken to mitigate the flood damage, like bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork.But it's clear that these measures will not be enough.
Abbasi and Sangah ended their letter by asking for 100 million Pakistani rupees ($45 million) to cover the costs of full repairs.UNESCO has responded to the request for help, allocating $350,000 from its emergency fund for damaged historic sites in Pakistan during UN Secretary General António Guterres's visit to the flood stricken country this week.
The funds will go to Moenjodaro and other sites including the Amri Museum.While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites, it will pay for urgent work while UNESCO and the local organization consider the best way forward.Sadly, the conservators of Moenjodaro have known for some time that flooding could bring a serious risk to the site.
In their letter, Abbasi and Sangah express concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger, which the preservation body updates periodically to highlight historic places that are at severe risk of ruin.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。受巴基斯坦暴雨的影响,摩亨佐·达罗遗址严重受损,Ihsan Ali Abbasi和Naveed Ahmed Sangah写信向联合国教科文组织求助,最终获得修复资金和联合国的关注。
1.What makes Moenjodaro special to Pakistan?( D )
A.The geographic feature it bears.
B.The role it played in fighting floods.
C.The mass destruction it suffered in history.
D.The value it holds in history and architecture.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中联合国教科文组织对摩亨佐·达罗的评价“Moenjodaro ‘bears exceptional testimony(证明) to the Indus civilization,' comprising ‘the most ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent’”可知,摩亨佐·达罗遗址是“印度河文明杰出的证明”,其中包括“印度次大陆上最古老的规划城市”。由此可见,其在历史和建筑方面意义重大,故选D。
2.What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 probably mean?( A )
A.Reduce. B.Suffer.
C.Avoid. D.Assess.
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词下文举例提到的举措“bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork”并结合生活常识可知,引进抽水机和修补砖墙是为了减轻洪水带来的损害,故A项与画线词的意思最为接近。
3.Which best describes the situation of the repair work made so far?( B )
A.Creative. B.Worrying.
C.Impractical. D.Satisfactory.
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites”、“flooding could bring a serious risk to the site”和最后一段中的“concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger”可知,资金不足、洪水严重等情况让Abbasi和Sangah担忧摩亨佐·达罗会被列入濒危世界遗产名录。由此可知,目前的修补工作局面令人担忧,故选B。
4.Which can be a suitable title for the text?( D )
A.Pakistan's Deadly Floods Causing Widespread Damage
B.Moenjodaro Calling for Attention to Its Severe Damage
C.Moenjodaro Added to the List of UNESCO Sites in Danger
D.Pakistan's UNESCO Site Moenjodaro Badly Damaged by Flooding
解析:主旨大意题。新闻报道的主题一般在文章的开头。根据第一段中的“One of the world's oldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by pouring rain in Pakistan”可知,本文主要介绍了巴基斯坦的联合国教科文组织世界遗址摩亨佐·达罗被洪水严重破坏,故D项适合作本文的标题。
(2024·福建厦门高三模拟)
The California sea otter (海獭), once hunted to the edge of extinction, has staged a thrilling comeback in the last century.Now, scientists have discovered that the otters' success story has led to something just as remarkable: the restoration of their declining coastal marsh (沼泽) habitat.
Elkhorn Slough, a coastal marsh within Monterey Bay, had been experiencing severe damage.The root cause was a growing population of shore crabs, which fed heavily on the marsh plants, weakening the structural integrity of the habitat.Coastal marshes like these are not only natural defenses against storm waves but also serve as important carbon storage areas and water cleaning systems.
The conservation driven comeback of the sea otter has been crucial.California's coastlines were once alive with sea otters.Sadly, they were nearly wiped out at the hands of fur traders.In the 1980s, conservation efforts aided these otters in reoccupying large areas of their former range.Now, Elkhorn Slough has the highest concentration of sea otters in California, with a population of about 100.By naturally feasting on crabs, the otters have helped a significant regrowth of plant life.Brent Hughes, a scientist working alongside Angelini, led a three year study.Their findings were clear: in areas with sea otters, crab numbers fell markedly.This led to a resurgence in plant growth, which in turn stabilized the soil and lowered the rate of soil being washed away.
As the sea otter population continues to restore, their positive impact on coastal ecosystems is likely to increase.It not only showcases the sea otter as a central species—a species that has a significant effect on its natural environment—but also highlights the essential nature of top predators (捕食者) in preserving ecological harmony.“My honest reaction was—this could become a classic in the literature,” says scientist Lekelia Jenkins.She reveals marsh restoration also helps people by reducing flooding.“Suddenly, sea otters go from just cute things we like to something that can protect our livelihoods and our properties.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍海獭的恢复历程及其对沿海沼泽生态系统的积极影响,强调了顶级捕食者在维持生态平衡中的重要作用。
5.What change did the disappearance of sea otters bring about?( D )
A.Fewer predatory crabs.
B.More coastal plant life.
C.Better water cleaning effect.
D.Worse coastal ecological balance.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“Elkhorn Slough…weakening the structural integrity of the habitat.”可知,海獭的消失导致了沿海生态平衡的恶化。故选D项。
6.What does the underlined word “resurgence” in paragraph 3 mean?( D )
A.Barrier. B.Advancement.
C.Expansion. D.Revival.
解析:词句猜测题。画线词前文“By naturally feasting on crabs, the otters have helped a significant regrowth of plant life.”说明水獭通过以螃蟹为食,可以帮助植物的再生,从而推知画线词应为“复苏”的意思,与D项同义。故选D项。
7.What is the author's purpose in quoting Lekelia Jenkins?( C )
A.To highlight the importance of coastal marshes.
B.To introduce a new research study on sea otters.
C.To demonstrate the practical benefits of sea otters.
D.To emphasize the need for increased conservation efforts.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中“My honest reaction…our livelihoods and our properties.”可知,作者引用Lekelia Jenkins的话是为了展示海獭对人类的实际益处,如减少洪水灾害等。故选C项。
8.What message is conveyed from sea otters' impact?( B )
A.The necessity for controlled hunting.
B.The interconnectedness of the ecosystem.
C.The drawbacks of wildlife reintroduction.
D.The need for human intervention in nature.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As the sea otter population…in preserving ecological harmony.”可知,文章通过展示海獭对沿海生态系统的积极影响,传达了生态系统之间相互联系的信息。故选B项。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
(2024·重庆名校联盟高三联考)
One of the world's oldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by pouring rain in Pakistan as the country battles the worst floods in its history.
Moenjodaro, a World Heritage site in the Indus River 510 kilometers (316 miles) from Karachi, was built in the Bronze Age, some 5,000 years ago.“Unfortunately we witnessed the mass destruction at the site,” reads a letter from the Culture, Tourism, Antiquities & Archives Department Government of Sindh sent to UNESCO and signed by director Ihsan Ali Abbasi and architect Naveed Ahmed Sangah.The letter adds the site was being used as temporary accommodation for surrounding residents whose own homes had flooded.
Moenjodaro's significance can't be underestimated.When it was added to UNESCO's register in 1980, the organization wrote that Moenjodaro “bears exceptional testimony(证明) to the Indus civilization,” comprising “the most ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent”.
The letter explains some of the immediate actions the site team has taken to mitigate the flood damage, like bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork.But it's clear that these measures will not be enough.
Abbasi and Sangah ended their letter by asking for 100 million Pakistani rupees ($45 million) to cover the costs of full repairs.UNESCO has responded to the request for help, allocating $350,000 from its emergency fund for damaged historic sites in Pakistan during UN Secretary General António Guterres's visit to the flood stricken country this week.
The funds will go to Moenjodaro and other sites including the Amri Museum.While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites, it will pay for urgent work while UNESCO and the local organization consider the best way forward.Sadly, the conservators of Moenjodaro have known for some time that flooding could bring a serious risk to the site.
In their letter, Abbasi and Sangah express concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger, which the preservation body updates periodically to highlight historic places that are at severe risk of ruin.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。受巴基斯坦暴雨的影响,摩亨佐·达罗遗址严重受损,Ihsan Ali Abbasi和Naveed Ahmed Sangah写信向联合国教科文组织求助,最终获得修复资金和联合国的关注。
1.What makes Moenjodaro special to Pakistan?( )
A.The geographic feature it bears.
B.The role it played in fighting floods.
C.The mass destruction it suffered in history.
D.The value it holds in history and architecture.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中联合国教科文组织对摩亨佐·达罗的评价“Moenjodaro ‘bears exceptional testimony(证明) to the Indus civilization,' comprising ‘the most ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent’”可知,摩亨佐·达罗遗址是“印度河文明杰出的证明”,其中包括“印度次大陆上最古老的规划城市”。由此可见,其在历史和建筑方面意义重大,故选D。
D
2.What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 probably mean?( )
A.Reduce. B.Suffer.
C.Avoid. D.Assess.
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词下文举例提到的举措“bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork”并结合生活常识可知,引进抽水机和修补砖墙是为了减轻洪水带来的损害,故A项与画线词的意思最为接近。
A
3.Which best describes the situation of the repair work made so far?( )
A.Creative. B.Worrying.
C.Impractical. D.Satisfactory.
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites”、“flooding could bring a serious risk to the site”和最后一段中的“concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger”可知,资金不足、洪水严重等情况让Abbasi和Sangah担忧摩亨佐·达罗会被列入濒危世界遗产名录。由此可知,目前的修补工作局面令人担忧,故选B。
B
4.Which can be a suitable title for the text?( )
A.Pakistan's Deadly Floods Causing Widespread Damage
B.Moenjodaro Calling for Attention to Its Severe Damage
C.Moenjodaro Added to the List of UNESCO Sites in Danger
D.Pakistan's UNESCO Site Moenjodaro Badly Damaged by Flooding
解析:主旨大意题。新闻报道的主题一般在文章的开头。根据第一段中的“One of the world's oldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by pouring rain in Pakistan”可知,本文主要介绍了巴基斯坦的联合国教科文组织世界遗址摩亨佐·达罗被洪水严重破坏,故D项适合作本文的标题。

(2024·福建厦门高三模拟)
The California sea otter (海獭), once hunted to the edge of extinction, has staged a thrilling comeback in the last century.Now, scientists have discovered that the otters' success story has led to something just as remarkable: the restoration of their declining coastal marsh (沼泽) habitat.
Elkhorn Slough, a coastal marsh within Monterey Bay, had been experiencing severe damage.The root cause was a growing population of shore crabs, which fed heavily on the marsh plants, weakening the structural integrity of the habitat.Coastal marshes like these are not only natural defenses against storm waves but also serve as important carbon storage areas and water cleaning systems.
The conservation driven comeback of the sea otter has been crucial.California's coastlines were once alive with sea otters.Sadly, they were nearly wiped out at the hands of fur traders.In the 1980s, conservation efforts aided these otters in reoccupying large areas of their former range.Now, Elkhorn Slough has the highest concentration of sea otters in California, with a population of about 100.By naturally feasting on crabs, the otters have helped a significant regrowth of plant life.Brent Hughes, a scientist working alongside Angelini, led a three year study.Their findings were clear: in areas with sea otters, crab numbers fell markedly.This led to a resurgence in plant growth, which in turn stabilized the soil and lowered the rate of soil being washed away.
As the sea otter population continues to restore, their positive impact on coastal ecosystems is likely to increase.It not only showcases the sea otter as a central species—a species that has a significant effect on its natural environment—but also highlights the essential nature of top predators (捕食者) in preserving ecological harmony.“My honest reaction was—this could become a classic in the literature,” says scientist Lekelia Jenkins.She reveals marsh restoration also helps people by reducing flooding.“Suddenly, sea otters go from just cute things we like to something that can protect our livelihoods and our properties.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍海獭的恢复历程及其对沿海沼泽生态系统的积极影响,强调了顶级捕食者在维持生态平衡中的重要作用。
5.What change did the disappearance of sea otters bring about?( )
A.Fewer predatory crabs.
B.More coastal plant life.
C.Better water cleaning effect.
D.Worse coastal ecological balance.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“Elkhorn Slough…weakening the structural integrity of the habitat.”可知,海獭的消失导致了沿海生态平衡的恶化。故选D项。
D
6.What does the underlined word “resurgence” in paragraph 3 mean?( )
A.Barrier. B.Advancement.
C.Expansion. D.Revival.
解析:词句猜测题。画线词前文“By naturally feasting on crabs, the otters have helped a significant regrowth of plant life.”说明水獭通过以螃蟹为食,可以帮助植物的再生,从而推知画线词应为“复苏”的意思,与D项同义。故选D项。
D
7.What is the author's purpose in quoting Lekelia Jenkins?( )
A.To highlight the importance of coastal marshes.
B.To introduce a new research study on sea otters.
C.To demonstrate the practical benefits of sea otters.
D.To emphasize the need for increased conservation efforts.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中“My honest reaction…our livelihoods and our properties.”可知,作者引用Lekelia Jenkins的话是为了展示海獭对人类的实际益处,如减少洪水灾害等。故选C项。
C
8.What message is conveyed from sea otters' impact?( )
A.The necessity for controlled hunting.
B.The interconnectedness of the ecosystem.
C.The drawbacks of wildlife reintroduction.
D.The need for human intervention in nature.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As the sea otter population…in preserving ecological harmony.”可知,文章通过展示海獭对沿海生态系统的积极影响,传达了生态系统之间相互联系的信息。故选B项。
