25、句，When he was moved to . oceans 为时间状语从句，when he was on a dive . fish 为从句中的时间状语从句。 - 6 - 译文：该组织的创立者叫 Boyan Slat，是一位出生于 1994 年的发明家，他 16 岁那年， 在一次潜水中，看到水中的塑料袋比鱼还多，于是不由得想去清理海洋。 1 C 考查细节理解。 根据题干的“发明这个垃圾收集器”， 我们把答案定位在第二段。 该段说“The groups founder, Boyan Slat . when he was on a dive and saw more plastic bags
26、than fish”，由此可知，当年 16 岁的 Slat 在海里潜水的时候，发现水里的塑料袋比 鱼还多，这促使他决定清洁海洋，因此选 C。 2A 考查细节理解。第三段说“Attached to it is a screening skirt that hangs three meters down in the water . through the water”，这种垃圾收集器的下面部分 是一个屏障，能够延伸到水下三米的地方，并且在水中移动的同时收集塑料，因此选 A。 3B 考查代词指代。从画线词所在的语境看，这里的 it 指前面提到的清洁系统，也 就是悬浮屏障，因此选 B。 4 C 考查
27、推理判断。 最后一段提到 Slat 说的话“Its important to turn off the taps on plastic entering the ocean, but I also think people can do more than one thing at a time to deal with this problem”，即他认为重要的是关掉塑料进入海洋的龙头，由 此推断他认为关键是不让塑料进入海洋。 .七选五 体裁：说明文 题材：人际关系 主题：怎样舒服地度假 【语篇解读】 很多人都盼望假期，假期可以让人们休息，让人们出门游玩。但是假期 中参加社会活动、购物、招待
