Recycling A recycling truck picks up paper,cardboard,metal,plastic and glass.These go to the recycling plant to be sorted and made into new things. Incinerator An incinerator is a huge stove that burns trash to make heat and electricity.The ash thats left gets buried in a landfill.Trash ash can be poisonous,so it has to be stored carefully.But it takes up a lot less room than just plain trash. Compost Food waste might go to a composter.In a compost heap(堆肥堆),bacteria and worms break down dead plants and old food.They turn it into good,rich oil.Some people keep compost heaps in their gardens.Big commercial composters handle waste from restaurants and farms. Landfills Some trash gets buried in landfills.A landfill starts as a big hole.Trucks dump trash.Big earth movers push it into place and crush it down.They cover the trash with dirt to keep scavengers(食 腐动物) away.The bottom of a landfill is lined with a barrier to keep bad things from leaking into the ground.Pipes drain away liquid.When the landfill is full,its covered with earth.It might become a park or lawn. 【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了垃圾处理的四种方法。 21.What can we learn from the passage? A.Recycling helps to generate energy. B.Bacteria and worms help handle food waste. C.The landfill is used to drive scavengers away. D.Trash ash is carefully handled to save room. 答案 B 解析细节理解题。根据 Compost 中的第二句“In a compost heap,bacteria and worms break down dead plants and old food.”可知,B 项“细菌和蠕虫有助于处理剩下的食物”正确。 22.What does the underlined word “They”(Para.4) refer to? A.Dead plants.B.Composers. C.Bacteria and worms.D.Food waste and soil. 答案 C 解析代词指代题。根据画线词前面的“bacteria and worms break down dead plants and old food”以及 “.turn it into good,rich oil.”可知,此处的 they 指的就是“Bacteria and worms”。 23.Whats the purpose of the passage? A.To inform us of trash treatment. B.To appeal for trash classification. C.To discuss solutions to trash pollution. D.To raise awareness of the harm of trash. 答案 A 解析写作目的题。根据表格第一段最后一句“Different towns deal with trash in different ways(不同的 城市有不同的处理垃圾的办法)”以及表格中的四个小标题 Recycling(循环), Incinerator(焚烧), Compost(堆肥)以及 Landfills(填埋)可知,这篇文章是在向读者介绍四种垃圾处理的方法,所以选 A 项。 B The world can be a scary place when youre young.It can be even scarier when youre a young little blue penguin(企鹅)the tiniest of the penguin species.Luckily,there are some humans willing to help.They stepped in to protect Billy,a blue penguin that appeared on a beach in Christchurch,New Zealand. Spotted on November 29 at the slipway at Moncks Bay,near Sumner,in Christchurch,the little penguin immediately attracted a small crowd.Jeff Mein Smith saw the crowd while he was bicycling that afternoon,and he biked home to get his camera.When he returned to the scene,he found that the penguin had received a little sign,one that read “Hi,Im waiting for my mum to come back.DOC(Department of Conservation) knows Im here.Please leave me alone.Keep your dog away.Thanks.Billythe baby blue penguin.” Billy didnt move away from the sign.The DOC arrived later that afternoon to pick up Billy,though they were surprised to see it on the beach.“Its unusual for a blue penguin to be out in the open on the beach during the day,”Anita Spencer,a DOC senior ranger,told Stuff. Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Centre after being retrieved from the beach.Volunteers believe the bird may actually be a female penguin,and is around 2 months old.The chick weighs a mere 550 grams,less than a standard basketball.A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age.Most little penguins grow up to weigh 1 kilogram. The centre will help the little penguin gain some weight by feeding it fish juice,before its set free into the ocean. 【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了一只小蓝企鹅在人们的帮助下最终得救的故事。 24.Why can the world be frightening to a young penguin? A.It is a rare species. B.It faces potential danger. C.It is surrounded by the crowd. D.It is threatened by dogs. 答案 B 解析推理判断题。根据第二段的内容,尤其是“Please leave me alone.Keep your dog away.”可知,当时 有人在那只小蓝企鹅旁边竖了一个牌子警示人们不要打扰它,不要让狗靠近它。由此可推知,对于那 只小蓝企鹅来讲,这个世界是可怕的,因为它面临着一些潜在的危险。故 B 项正确。 25.It can be inferred from the text that Billy . A.is a female penguin B.has expressed its thanks C.weighs less for its age D.prefers living on the beach 答案 C 解析推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The chick weighs a mere 550 grams,less than a standard basketball.A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age.”可知,这只小蓝企鹅体重只有 550 克,而处于它这个年龄的小蓝企鹅的体重应达到 900 克左右。由此可推知,这只小蓝企鹅的体重低于 它这个年龄的小蓝企鹅的体重。故 C 项正确。 26.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “retrieved” in Paragraph 4? A.Ignored.B.Cured. C.Given away.D.Brought back. 答案 D 解析词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句“Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being retrieved from the beach.”可知,这只小蓝企鹅是从沙滩上被带到克赖斯特彻奇的一 个企鹅康复中心的。由此可推知,画线词与 brought back“带回”意思相近。故 D 项正确。 27.What will happen to Billy in the centre? A.It will be reported to Stuff. B.It will be visited by the locals. C.It will be taken good care of. D.It will be fed with fruit juice. 答案 C 解析推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,在这只小蓝企鹅被放回海洋之前,康复中心会帮助它增加一些 体重。由此可推知,在企鹅康复中心里,这只小蓝企鹅会得到很好的照顾。故 C 项正确。 C Female seals dont change their spots,according to a new study by University of Alberta biologists.In fact,individual differences in boldness remain consistent(一致的) over time.The study is among the first to examine boldness in wild marine mammals in the field of animal personality.Animal personality influences many ecological processes,like how individuals interact with other species or respond to changing environmental conditions. Researchers studied female seals on Sable Island,home to the worlds largest grey seal colony.Over a period from 2008 to 2016,biologist Christi Bubac and a field team led by Fisheries and Oceans Canada measured boldness responses in the female seals when defending their young. “During the breeding season,we saw that females tend to behave consistently,not only between years,but also within the lactation period(哺乳期) of a given year,” explained Bubac,lead author and PhD student in the Department of Biological Sciences studying with wildlife geneticist David Coltman.“This provides an example of animal personality,with consistent individual differences observed over time.” Bubac also examined how reproductive success is related to a seals boldness or shyness.Grey seals nurse for 16 to 18 days,so mother seals have a very short window to get baby seals as fat as they can.During this time,baby seals triple(增至三倍) in body mass.Body mass is a good predictor of reproductive success because it indicates the puppies chances of survival.“On average,we found that bolder females stop feeding those that are two kilograms heavier,compared with the shyest females,improving their chances of surviving the first year of life,” said Bubac. These results present some very interesting biological questions,explained Coltman,professor of biology.“This research shows that young grey seal moms that are bold tend to stop feeding larger puppies compared with shy moms.However,older grey seals also tend to be bolder.If bolder animals have bigger pups and live longer,why does variation in boldness remain?Why be shy?” 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。海豹也是有个性的,而海豹的个性差异会影响后代繁衍。 28.What is the purpose of the study of seals? A.To test their effects on ecological processes. B.To study how seals interact with each other. C.To check how the environment affects mammals. D.To examine marine mammals personality difference. 答案 D 解析推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The study is among the first to examine boldness in wild marine mammals in the field of animal personality.”可知,研究的目的是了解海洋野生哺乳动物的个性差异。 29.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A.Animals have remained their personality since they were born. B.Female seals behave more boldly in the lactation period. C.Seals boldness responses remain the same over tim
