Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了奥地利生物学家约翰内斯·弗里茨为了防止他心爱的稀有鸟类灭绝,决定教它们一条新的迁徙路线。
1.B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Determined to save them, he decided to teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. He was confident that he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan.”可知,约翰内斯·弗里茨的计划是带领秃鹮沿着一条新的路线迁徙。故选B项。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“…causing the birds to disappear entirely from the wild.”可知,欧洲人不停地猎杀这些鸟,并在野外杀死了最后一只,故画线词与destroyed“毁灭,破坏”意义相近。故选A项。
3.D 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“But the route he originally taught the ibises does not work successfully. With climate change warming the area where the birds spend summer, they now start their migration at the end of October instead of the end of September.”可推知,弗里茨先生最初寻找的路线是无效的,因为夏季栖息地的温度升高导致秃鹮的迁徙时间延后。故选D项。
4.B 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Determined to save them, he decided to teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. He was confident that he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan.”可知,约翰内斯·弗里茨教秃鹮新的迁徙路线。由此推知,他是有创新想法的人。故选B项。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是废弃捕蟹笼的危害和解决方案。
1.F 空前“Crab traps (捕蟹笼) work like this: crabs crawl in, but they don’t crawl out.”说明捕蟹笼可以抓住螃蟹,空格处应该接着说这有什么好处,F选项 (这对捕蟹者来说是个好消息,因为他们有机会捉到好多蟹。)承接上文,说明了用捕蟹笼对捕蟹者的好处,并与下文“However, when traps get lost at sea, they become a threat to all sorts of animals.”构成转折关系。故选F。
2.C 空前“Marine life gets into the trap. Eventually, they can’t eat so they die, and then other marine life becomes attracted to it. They get into the trap, and they die.”说的是一些生物的死亡会带来另一些生物的死亡,是一种恶性循环,C选项 (这就变成了可怕的死亡循环。)承接上文,说明上文所说的内容是一种不好的循环,符合语境。故选C。
3.G 空前“But a group in Mississippi has found a solution…”说明密西西比州的一个组织找到了一个解决方案,空格处应该说明这个解决方案的具体内容,G选项 (捕虾者收集和回收废弃的捕蟹笼可以获得5美元的奖励。)阐述了这种回收捕蟹笼的解决方案。故选G。
4.A 空后“Wildlife is safer, the water is cleaner and there’s been a clear trend that shrimpers are encountering fewer traps.”说明野生动物更安全了,并且捕虾者遇到的捕蟹笼越来越少,是双赢的局面,A选项 (这是一个真正的双赢。)与后文呼应,故选A。
5.B 空后“There aren’t many examples of programmes like this.”说明这种项目不多见,B选项 (密西西比州项目是一个先锋。)和空后描述一致,符合语境,故选B。
Ⅶ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Peter S nger和吴亮一起创立了Green City Solutions来对抗空气污染。他们的发明——城市树——起到了空气净化器的作用,是城市树木和绿地的一个有趣的补充。文章还介绍了这一技术的优势,以及得到的资助情况。
1.struck 考查动词时态。根据got可知,句子为一般过去时,空处缺少谓语,strike的过去式为struck。故填struck。
2.against 考查介词。根据the fight可知,空处缺少介词against,构成短语the fight against…,意为“对抗……”。故填against。
3.why 考查名词性从句。根据前一句“They believe that if you can’t measure it, you can’t beat it.”可知,前文是后文的原因,此处表示“这就是为什么……”,用句型“That’s why…”。故填why。
4.addition 考查名词。空处放在an后,与air purifier并列,addition意为“补充物”,为名词单数,符合题意。故填addition。
5.dotted 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,空处修饰“trees”作后置定语,trees与dot构成逻辑上的被动关系,用过去分词作定语。故填dotted。
6.healthily 考查副词。空处修饰动词live,用副词作状语。故填healthily。
7.to breathe 考查非谓语动词。空处修饰air,表示“呼吸的”,用不定式作后置定语。故填to breathe。
8.the 考查冠词。根据air-purifying feature of moss可知,此处表示特指的特性,用定冠词the。故填the。
9.depending 考查非谓语动词。空处用非谓语形式作状语,与前面句子的内容是主动关系,用现在分词作状语。故填depending。
10.scientific 考查形容词。空处用形容词作定语修饰way,science意为“科学”,形容词形式为scientific。故填scientific。Unit 5 A delicate world

[2024·山东德州高二期末]
Johannes Fritz, an Austrian biologist, needed to come up with a plan again if he was going to prevent his rare and beloved birds from going extinct.
To survive the European winter, the northern bald ibis needs to migrate south for the winter over the Alps. But shifting climate patterns have delayed when the birds begin to migrate and they are now reaching the mountains too late to make it over the peaks, which locks them in an icy death trap. Determined to save them, he decided to teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. He was confident that he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan.
Some 400 years ago, the Europeans hunted these birds without stopping and devoured the last in the wild, causing the birds to disappear entirely from the wild. When Mr Fritz was born 56 years ago, the northern bald ibis could be found in Europe only in captivity (圈养).
Mr Fritz has spent his career reintroducing the birds into the wild. Through years of trial and error, he learned to fly like a bird. He modified (改装) a lightweight aircraft so it would fly at speeds slow enough for the birds to keep up. In 2004, he led the first flock from Austria to Italy, and has since led more migrations. But the route he originally taught the ibises does not work successfully. With climate change warming the area where the birds spend summer, they now start their migration at the end of October instead of the end of September. The trip is expected to take about six weeks, “Still, we’re optimistic that it’ll work,” said Mr Fritz.
His family and colleagues witnessed the risks he was taking. “But the unavoidable risks are necessary,” Mr Fritz said. “It’s not so much a job, but my life’s purpose.”
( )1.What was Johannes Fritz’s plan
A.To shorten bald ibises’ migration route.
B.To lead bald ibises to migrate on a different path.
C.To better the climate patterns for bald ibises.
D.To find out a safer destination for bald ibises.
( )2.What does the underlined word “devoured” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Destroyed. B.Abused.
C.Released. D.Raised.
( )3.Why was Mr Fritz’s initial route for the birds ineffective
A.Owing to the long time it consumes.
B.For the slow speed of his modified aircraft.
C.Because of the toughness along the first route.
D.Due to higher temperatures in the summer habitat.
( )4.Which of the following can best describe Mr Fritz
A.Honest. B.Innovative.
C.Straightforward. D.Demanding.
●Ⅵ 阅读七选五
Crab traps (捕蟹笼) work like this: crabs crawl in, but they don’t crawl out. 1. However, when traps get lost at sea, they become a threat to all sorts of animals.
“With no one there to get them back, the traps continue to fish,” says a researcher. “Marine life gets into the trap. Eventually, they can’t eat so they die, and then other marine life becomes attracted to it. They get into the trap, and they die. 2. ”
Abandoned crab traps harm wildlife and affect other fishers, especially shrimpers (捕虾者). Large and heavy crab traps get caught in shrimping nets, tearing them open or blocking them from catching shrimp. Helpless shrimpers, with nowhere to put the smelly traps, generally just throw them back, continuing the cycle.
But a group in Mississippi has found a solution: 3. In just three years, the programme has removed almost 3,000 crab traps from Mississippi waters. Crab traps are marked, and those that are still in good condition are returned to their owners, while traps that are too broken down are recycled.
4. Wildlife is safer, the water is cleaner and there’s been a clear trend that shrimpers are encountering fewer traps.
Chloé Dubois, head of a nonprofit focused on marine debris (废弃物), calls it “a great success story”. Dubois says there have been programmes historically very successful at recycling waste products at the end of their life cycle. But in the ghost fishing and marine debris field, she says, “ 5. There aren’t many examples of programmes like this.”
A.It’s a real win-win.
B.The Mississippi programme is a pioneer.
C.It just becomes this awful cycle of death.
D.Shrimpers are informed of basic knowledge of fishing.
E.In the meantime, the Mississippi programme is expanding.
F.That’s good news for crab fishers’ chances of pulling in a good catch.
G.A $5 reward is paid to shrimpers to collect and recycle abandoned crab traps.

Johannes Fritz, an Austrian biologist, needed to come up with
a plan again if he was going to prevent his rare and beloved birds
from going extinct.

To survive the European winter, the northern bald ibis needs to
migrate south for the winter over the Alps. But shifting climate
patterns have delayed when the birds begin to migrate and they
are now reaching the mountains too late to make it over the
peaks, which locks them in an icy death trap. Determined to save
them, he decided to teach the birds a new, safer migration route
by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. He was confident that
he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan.

Some 400 years ago, the Europeans hunted these birds without
stopping and devoured the last in the wild, causing the birds to
disappear entirely from the wild. When Mr Fritz was born 56 years
ago, the northern bald ibis could be found in Europe only in
captivity (圈养).
Mr Fritz has spent his career reintroducing the birds into the
wild. Through years of trial and error, he learned to fly like a bird.
He modified (改装) a lightweight aircraft so it would fly at speeds
slow enough for the birds to keep up. In 2004, he led the first
flock from Austria to Italy, and has since led more migrations.

But the route he originally taught the ibises does not work
successfully. With climate change warming the area where the birds
spend summer, they now start their migration at the end of
October instead of the end of September. The trip is expected to
take about six weeks, “Still, we're optimistic that it'll work,” said
Mr Fritz.
His family and colleagues witnessed the risks he was taking.
“But the unavoidable risks are necessary,” Mr Fritz said. “It's not
so much a job, but my life's purpose.”

Crab traps (捕蟹笼) work like this: crabs crawl in, but they don't

a threat to all sorts of animals.
“With no one there to get them back, the traps continue to

Abandoned crab traps harm wildlife and affect other fishers,
especially shrimpers (捕虾者). Large and heavy crab traps get
caught in shrimping nets, tearing them open or blocking them
from catching shrimp. Helpless shrimpers, with nowhere to put the
smelly traps, generally just throw them back, continuing the cycle.

But a group in Mississippi has found a solution: 3.____ In just

from Mississippi waters. Crab traps are marked, and those that are
