使增至三倍

首页 > 试题列表 > 单题解析

212875. （2024•西安一中•高三下期中）     In the past week almost 120 global leaders have resolved to triple （使增至三倍） the world's renewable energy capacity before 2030 in an attempt to reduce the global consumption of fossil fuels.As the second half of the Cop28 UN climate conference in Dubai unfolds ，more countries may join the calls for a global target of 11 TW （太瓦） of renewable power by the end of the decade，three times higher than the 3.629 TW in place at the end of 2022.
    Renewable energy really could be tripled in this decade，but it won't be a breeze，according to the International Energy Agency （IEA）.
    Based on the rate of growth for wind and solar power，the world is on track to meet this target.But the global energy watchdog（监察人） has warned that "stronger policy actions by governments" will be required to overcome challenges，such as rising costs，uncertain supply chains and grid（电力网） bottlenecks，which are considered essential to hit the goal of limiting global heating to within 1.5 C of preindustrialised levels.
    Renewable energy sources tripled，the global demand for coal power would be cut in half by 2030，according to estimates. "This is crucial for 1.5 C，"said Dave Jones，the global insights lead for climate think-tank Ember. "The tripling goal would take renewables to the next level，with solar and wind reaching 40% of global electricity generation by 2030."
    The goal has won the support of 118 countries.In practice，not every country will triple its renewable capacity to meet the global target.Some countries starting from a lower level would need to more than triple their wind and solar power，while for others with a high share of renewables already，it would not be practical to triple their capacity again.
    The prospect of having demand for coal is a goal worth struggling for，but governments must stay the course.Increasing capacity may have been simple in recent years with low interest rates and government support schemes，but the sector's progress for the rest of the decade is less certain.

（1）What does the underlined word "breeze" mean in paragraph 2？
A．A demanding mission.
B．An effortless task.
C．A dreamy vision.
D．A fruitless effort.
（2）What can be inferred from paragraph 3？
A．The road to the top is full of twists and turns.
B．A good beginning is half done.
C．No pains，no gains.
D．Rise from the fall，and you'll rise high.
（3）What is Dave Jones' attitude toward tripling the world's renewable energy capacity before 2030？
A．Indifferent.
B．Neutral.
C．Cautious.
D．Optimistic.
（4）What might be written about after the last paragraph？
A．Drawbacks of power generation using coal.
B．Ways to triple the output of sustainable energy.
C．Specific difficulties in the future and solutions.
D．Joint achievements made by nearly 200 countries.

（1）词意推测题。根据第二段Renewable energy really could be tripled in this decade，but it won't be a breeze ，according to the International Energy Agency （IEA）.（根据国际能源署（IEA）的说法，可再生能源确实可能在十年内增加两倍，但这不会是一件轻而易举的事情。）可知breeze的意思是"毫不费力的任务"。A．A demanding mission高难度的任务；B．An effortless task毫不费力的任务；C．A dreamy vision梦幻般的景象；D．A fruitless effort徒劳的努力。故选B。
（2）推理判断题。根据第三段Based on the rate of growth for wind and solar power，the world is on track to meet this target.But the global energy watchdog（监察人） has warned that "stronger policy actions by governments" will be required to overcome challenges，such as rising costs，uncertain supply chains and grid（电力网） bottlenecks，which are considered essential to hit the goal of limiting global heating to within 1.5 C of preindustrialised levels.（根据风能和太阳能的增长速度，世界有望实现这一目标。但全球能源监管机构警告称，将需要"各国政府采取更强有力的政策行动"来克服成本上升、供应链不确定和电网瓶颈等挑战。这些挑战被认为对于实现将全球升温限制在工业化前水平1.5摄氏度以内的目标至关重要。）可知通往顶峰的道路充满曲折，故选A。
（3）观点态度题。根据第四段Renewable energy sources tripled，the global demand for coal power would be cut in half by 2030，according to estimates. "This is crucial for 1.5 C，"said Dave Jones，the global insights lead for climate think﹣tank Ember. "The tripling goal would take renewables to the next level，with solar and wind reaching 40% of global electricity generation by 2030."（据估计，到2030年，可再生能源将增加两倍，全球煤电需求将减少一半。"这对于1.5摄氏度至关重要，"气候智库烬全球观察负责人达夫•琼斯说。"翻三番的目标将使可再生能源更上一层楼，到2030年，太阳能和风能将达到全球发电量的40%。"）可知达夫•琼斯对于在2030年前将世界可再生能源产能增加两倍的态度是乐观的。故选D。
（4）推理判断题。由文章最后一段Increasing capacity may have been simple in recent years with low interest rates and government support schemes，but the sectors progress for the rest of the decade is less certain.（近年来，随着低利率和政府支持计划的实施，提高产能可能很简单，但该行业在未来十年的进展不太确定。）可知接下来文章将重点阐述在实现该目标之后将会遇到的各种困难以及解决办法。故选C。

205154. （2022•西安八十九中•高一下期末） The icy waters surrounding Antarctica have long been called the Southern Ocean by scientists and the media.However，it never received the official recognition--until now.On June 8，2021，the National Geographic Society announced that from now on，there would be five oceans：the Atlantic，Pacific，Indian，Arctic，and the Southern Ocean.The Southern Ocean was not just an extension of the Pacific，Atlantic，and Indian Oceans.It had the unique characteristics required to deserve its own name.
   Unlike the other oceans，whose boundaries （边界） are defined by the surrounding continents，the extent of the Southern Ocean is determined by the Antarctic Circumpolar （ACC）—the Earth's longest and strongest ocean current.The ACC was established 34 million years ago when Antarctic broke off from South America，enabling the water to freely flow around Earth's southernmost tip.Its water is colder and less salty than the ocean waters to the south and provides a unique habitat for thousands of species.The ACC also significantly impacts Earth's climate.
   Alex Tait，a National Geographic Society geographer，says the recognition affects the Society's desire to draw public attention to protecting the Southern Ocean's unique ecosystem. "We've always labeled it，but labeled it slightly different from other oceans，" Tait explains."This change is taking the last step and saying we want to recognize it because of its ecological separation，"
   Tait believes the official recognition of the Southern Ocean will influence how children see the
world."I think one of the biggest impacts is through education，" he says."Students get information about the ocean world through what ocean they're studying.If they don't include the Southern Ocean，they can't Tearq the specifics of it and how important it is."

（1）How did the Southern Ocean get its official recognition？
A．By being recorded in books.
B．By being given new official name.
C．By being regarded as one of the five oceans.
D．By being admitted by the international media
（2）What does Alex Tait think of the Southern Ocean getting its new identity？
A．It will cause great changes in the global ecosytemn.
B．It will greatly impact Earth's climate.
C．It will help protect the species in Antaptica.
D．It will make the ocean better known.
（3）What is the best title of the passage？
A．People now truly care about the oceans.
B．Earth now officially has five oceans.
C．The features of the Southern Ocean.
D．The impact of the Southern Ocean.

204440. （2023•临潼区•高一下期末）     Any 25th birthday is a cause for celebration.But it was even more so for Janus，a two-headed Greek tortoise（龟）.Living in the Natural History Museum of Geneva，Switzerland，Janus is now believed to be the world's oldest two-headed tortoise.The museum celebrated the special occasion with a day-long party filled with fun events，which included taking photos with the birthday"boy".
    In the wild，Greek tortoises can live up to two hundred years in their natural habitat.However，two-headed tortoises，like Janus，usually do not survive for that long.Unlike nor-mal tortoises，they are unable to take back their two heads into their shell，making them high-ly easy to be attacked.
    Janus，who has spent his entire life in the museum，faces no such danger.But life is not without challenges for the two-headed tortoise who also has two hearts and two pair s of lungs.Each head controls the front and back legs on its side of the body.The right head is more curious and more awake.The left head is more passive and loves to eat.This can lead to confusion when the two heads decide to go in different directions.To make matters worse，the two heads frequently rub against each other，resulting in skin sores（溃疡）.Janus also has a hard time rolling back onto his feet when he accidentally turns over.If left on their backs for too long，tortoises can get sunburned，dehydrated （脱水的） and even die.
    Fortunately，Janus has a special caregiver，Angelica Bourgoin，to make sure he lives along and healthy life.The tortoise receives a daily massage and is bathed in green tea and flower water.He eats a special diet of organic fruits and vegetables，keeps active with walks，and rides on his custom skateboard.With such loving care，the two-headed tortoise will surely continue to break many more records for long life.

（1）Why is it hard for two-headed tortoises to survive in the wild？
A．They can't avoid biting each other.
B．They can't find enough food to eat.
C．They can't hide from their enemies.
D．They can't run as fast as normal ones.
（2）Where was Janus born？
A．In the museum.
B．In a pet store.
C．In the ocean.
D．In Bourgoin's home.
（3）What will be Janus's biggest threat if he's left alone on its back？
A．Different decisions.
B．Two halves of body.
C．The pain on his skin.
D．The death of thirst.
（4）Which of the following can best describe Janus's life？
A．Free.
B．Easy.
C．Boring.
D．Tough.

204460. （2023•莲湖区•高一下期末）     Just like a smartwatch can tell its wearers how many calories they need during exercise，data from dolphin wearables can now be used to estimate how much energy dolphins use when they swim.
    University of Michigan engineers，together with scientists at Dolphin Quest Oahu，have led the development of wearable sensors（传感器） for marine animals to monitor movement and behavior in order to improve marine preservation efforts for these animals.
    Dolphins and other sea creatures are affected by human disturbances（干扰） in their habitat，including climate change，overfishing，noise pollution from shipping，construction，oil exploration and other activities.These types of disturbances can interrupt important animal behavior like hunting for fish and socializing，but measuring the disturbance is difficult be-cause the animals live under water.
    Devices very similar to fitness trackers used by humans，known as biologging tags，are used in biology research，but estimating the energetic cos t of swimming has been challenging.Now，with the biologging tags made together with an instrument company，Michigan engineers are able to measure animal movement during thousands of strokes（划） as they swim.
    According to Alex Shorter，U-M assistant professor of mechanical engineering，their goal is to use tag data to estimate how many fish are eaten by dolphins during a day，and connect that to estimates of how much energy dolphins use during the movement required to catch those fish.That is important for preservation because they can then use their approach to estimate energetic costs when these animals are disturbed.
    In their new work，the researchers were able to develop estimates of energetic cost from tag data by working with their human and animal collaborators at Dolphin Quest Oahu.In this.unique environment，the researchers were able to conduct repeatable swimming trials over a range of speeds from multiple animals to generate the data needed to estimate how much energy the animals were using as they swam.Marine animal specialists trained the dolphins to wear the tracker during lap trials and periods of free swimming.

（1）What is the final goal of developing wearable sensors for marine animals？
A．To record the number of them.
B．To promote the protection for them.
C．To keep track of the lifestyle of them.
D．To monitor their movement and behavior.
（2）Why is it hard to measure the disturbance of dolphins？
A．Because of their habitat.
B．Because of their strange behaviors.
C．Because of too many kinds of disturbances.
D．Because of too simple measuring equipment.
（3）What is tag data used to do？
A．Learn about the way dolphins hunt.
B．Know the number of species of dolphins.
C．Make sure what kind of fish dolphins eat.
D．Figure out dolphin's probable amount of energetic costs.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．A New Device Made by Alex Shorter
B．A Smartwatch Designed for Marine Scientists
C．New Activity Trackers for Dolphin Conservation
D．A University Working with an Instrument Company

204261. （2023•长安区•高一上期末）     Widespread descriptions of animals in pop culture could actually be hurting the animals' survival chances in the wild，a new research suggests.
    Franck Courchamp of the University of Paris-Sud was interested in the idea of "appeal" （吸引力） in animals.He wanted to know：What species do people consider appealing？And what are the influences of being appealing on populations of animals in the wild？
    In a research published this month，Courchamp and other researchers list the top 20 appealing species.They deemed large mammals living on land are appealing.Coming in first place are tigers，followed by lions，elephants，giraffes，panthers，pandas，cheetahs，polar bears，wolves，and gorillas.However，at least half of the interviewees didn't realize that five of the top ten most appealing species are threatened.It is strange that we do not protect the species we care about the most.
    The study also finds that we are flooded with images of these creatures，even as they are becoming fewer in the wild.The study suggests that too much imagination might be creating a "virtual population" of the animals in people's minds，making them believe there are far more individuals in the wild than is exact.
    The study authors suggest that companies who benefit from the use of these imageould set as idea small percentage of their profits for protection efforts and informational campaigns. "That would be not only something fair，but something that could bring a win-win situation for them，" Courchamp says.It could bring them positive public relation，for example.Besides，if a company's mascot （吉祥物） goes extinct，that could hurt them from a marketing point，Courchamp says.But not enough companies are "truly concerned about the protection of the species that they work on，" he adds.

（1）The widespread descriptions of animals may         according to Paragraph 1.
A．make people aware of the necessity of wild protection
B．lead people to protect animals
C．be beneficial for both animals and humans
D．reduce the animals' survival chances
（2）What does the underlined word "deemed" mean in Paragraph 3？
A．Rescued.
B．Established.
C．Thought.
D．Disappeared.
（3）What can we know about panthers and cheetahs from the passage？
A．They are among the best liked.
B．They have a large population in the wild.
C．They have died out.
D．They are well protected.
（4）How does Courchamp list the companies' responsibilities and their advantages？
A．By doing experiments.

201883. （2024•周至县•一模）     The fishermen of Senegal have joined forces to protect one of the ocean's most endangered species—the sea turtle，a classic case of "poacher turned gamekeeper".
    The coastal waters of Senegal in West Africa are home to several species of sea turtles which are all beautiful creatures but are affected by pollution，poaching and even fishing nets.
    "Once we were the biggest eaters of turtles，now we have become their biggest protectors，" said Abdou Karim Sall，a fisherman who led the Management Committee for the Marine Protected Are （MPA）of Joal-Fadiouth.
    The Joal-Fadiouth MPA，covering about 174 square kilometers，was founded in 2004，and it's upheld by the government，local authorities and several associations.It is an area aimed at protecting mar in e ecosystem，habitats and species，including endangered species like the sea turtle.Its benefits are obvious：maintaining biodiversity，increasing fish catches on fishing grounds，as well as economic development.
    For a long time，Sall has been working to raise local awareness of sea turtle protection. "Even former turtle sellers have been 'changed' by receiving three small boats to take tourists to sea，" he said.Instead of strict restrictions，the Joal-Fadiouth MPA has been trying to educate local communities about the economic benefits so that they would join the project. "It's after they are told： 'It's an endangered species'，" Sall said.
    Local residents have also set out to protect the nests.During summer and fall，a few dozen turtles may stop to lay eggs on the beaches of Joal-Fadiouth.MPA agents and village volunteers pro test their nests with fences. "People come at 6 a.m.so that other animals do not take the young." said Sall.
    Sall added the number of turtles had decreased by about 30% in the past 20 years，and chances of survival of a young turtle were no higher than one in a thousand.But the fisherman-conservator agreed， "Awareness has not worked 100%."

（1）What does the underlined word "upheld" in Paragraph 4 mean？
A.Hurt.
B.Ignored.
C.Supported.
D.Paused.
（2）Which of the following is the measure taken by the Joal-Fadiouth MPA to protect sea turtles？
A.Building more nests for turtles to lay eggs.
B.Placing strict restrictions to educate the communities.
C.Providing different means of transportation for turtle sellers.
D.Publicizing the economic benefits of the project.
（3）What will most probably be talked about in the following paragraph？
A.The mistakes the MPA has made.
B.The danger sea turtles still face from fishermen.
C.The argument about the Marine Protected Area.
D.The benefits brought by the Marine Protected Area.
（4）What is the main idea of the text？
A.Fishermen of Senegal have joined together to protect sea turtles.
B.Sea turtles in Senegal are endangered because of human activities.
C.The situation of sea turtles in Senegal has been improves significantly.
D.The Marine Protected Area has played an important role in protecting fishes.

212666. （2025•临潼区•高二下期中）     In the depths of Abernethy Forest，researcher and conservationist Jack Bamber has just placed deer meat in the hope of attracting every nearby predator（捕食者）.It may sound weird，but it's all part of a plan to catch the attention of predators who might otherwise be interested in lunching on a capercallie（松鸡） chick and it's quite normal.Capercaillies are large，secretive birds known for their striking fan tails.However，in Scotland，their population is critically low，with only about 500 left during 2021-2022.
    Bamber's method，known as diversionary feeding，involves leaving meat near capercaillie habitats during the breeding（繁殖） season.The goal is to provide predators like pine martens and badgers—both protected species—with an easier meal，reducing the chances of them attacking capercaillie nests.This approach helps protect capercaillies without harming predators.
    Initial trials have been promising，showing an 83% reduction in nest predation in areas where meat was provided.However，this is just one of many strategies needed to save the species.Other efforts include educating the public to avoid disturbing the birds，particularly in places like the Cairngorms National Park，where dogs and hikers can unintentionally stress the birds or disturb their habitats.
    Carolyn Robertson，manager of the Cairngorms Capercaillie Project，works to minimize human disturbances.He said， "Dogs，even on leads，can cause capercallies to feel threatened.Public awareness campaigns have helped local dog owners understand the importance of keeping their pets under control.Additionally，initiatives like the 'Lek it be' campaign urge people to leave the birds undisturbed during the breeding season."
    The species faces multiple threats，including habitat loss，conflicts with deer fences，and the impact of climate change，which affect food availability and chick survival.Despite the challenges，efforts continue with hope that the species can recover.These conservation（保护） actions not only aim to save the capercallie but also benefit other wildlife and the ecosystem as a whole.

（1）What does the underlined word "weird" in paragraph 1 mean？
A.Strange.
B.Pleasant.
C.Disappointing.
D.Costly.
（2）What is the effect of initial trials to protect capercallies？
A.It is unclear.
B.It is ill-advised.
C.It is effective.
D.It iort-lived.
（3）What can we infer about these conservation actions from Robertson's words？
A.They rely on researchers' work.
B.They bring about additional costs.
C.They involve multi-party efforts.
D.They discourage local dog owners.
（4）What does the author intend to explain in the last paragraph？
A.The hardships the locals suffered.
B.The problems researchers faced.
C.The background of the new policy.
D.The significance of these conservation actions.

202673. （2020•西安中学•三模） Even though vaccination（接种疫苗） is a powerful defense against disease，some voices are against it．In a recent letter，the American Medical Association（AMA） urged big social media including Amazon，Facebook and Google to take action to defend medical science on their platforms．
   It said that vaccine-preventable diseases that do harm to the public health like measles（麻疹） are on the rise．Measles cases worldwide jumped more than 30% in 2017 compared to 2016，with the largest increases seen among nations in the Americas，Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean．Vaccine-preventable diseases are increasing largely because many people are unwilling to get vaccinated．And some of these people even encourage others to refuse vaccination．So this year，the World Health Organization （WHO） declared the anti-vaccination movement a top-10 health threat．
   "Vaccination is one of the most cost-effective ways of avoiding disease - it currently prevents 2-3 million deaths a year，and a further 15 million could be avoided if global coverage of vaccinations improved，" WHO said．
   A research article published in 1998 in a medical journal suggested a link between a vaccine and the development of autism（自闭症） in young children．Although the research has been suspected and many other studies have proved that vaccinations do not cause autism，the article is still impressing people strongly today．Another reason for the growth in the anti-vaccination movement is widespread misinformation on social media，which can turn people against vaccination．If a concerned parent consistently sees information in their Newsfeed that casts doubt on the safety of vaccines，it could cause them to disregard the advice of their children's physicians and public health experts and refuse to follow the recommended vaccination schedule．So access to true information about vaccine safety is badly needed．

（1）What does the AMA require social media to do on their platforms？
A．Unite to develop new vaccines．
B．Stop vaccine misinformation．
C．Give up the anti-vaccination movement．
D．Introduce vaccine-preventable diseases．
（2）Why does the author mention the measles cases？
A．To declare measles can be prevented．
B．To prove vaccination doesn't work well．
C．To show the result of anti-vaccination．
D．To explain the reason for avoiding vaccination．
（3）Which of the following DOESN'T play a role in the anti-vaccination movement？
A．The costs of vaccination．
B．People's concerns over vaccine safety．
C．A research relating vaccination to autism．
D．Misinformation spread on social media platforms．
（4）What is the author's attitude towards vaccination？
A．Doubtful
B．Ambiguous
C．Positive
D．Negative

202282. （2022•西工大附中•七模） Innovation has pretty much finished with car tires （轮胎） right，I mean，what's left to change？How about the whole "air" part？
   Michelin Company's attempt to tackle tire rubbish around the world witnessed them roll out puncture-proof "airless" tires，which they say should help reduce the 18% of all world tires that are abandoned early due to punctures （轮胎漏气）.Deserted tires are a huge worldwide waste problem—the U.S.produces 260 million abandoned tires per year，many of which end up in landfills or on the sides of the freeway where they release harmful gases and micro-plastic pollutants as they break down.
   Michelin Company's Unique Puncture Proof Tire System or "UPTIS" is designed using 46% recycled material，and made from a plastic matrix （母体） mixed with glass fibers that provide a flexible outer layer with a strong inner one. "The truly distinctive structure of the Michelin UPTIS prototype（原型），or its "strangeness" as we have often heard it called，really attracted the eye of many visitors and left a lasting impression on them，" stated Cyrille Roget，Michelin Group Technical and Scientific Communications Director. "It was an unusual experience for us，and our greatest satisfaction came at the end of the demonstration when our passengers，who were undoubtedly a little alert（警觉）at first，said they felt no difference compared with conventional tires."
   Michelin Company believes airless tires will improve everyone's lives.Maintenance （保养） costs for company's vehicle fleets will be less expensive，and inexperienced car owners won't accidentally ruin their rubbers when driving them because they are over-or under-inflated（充气）.Although they are still in development stage and using at a large scale within years is unlikely to be available，Michelin Company is not in the least doubtful about their tires' future.

204942. （2022•阎良区•高二下期末） Alcohol was the leading risk factor for disease and premature death in men and women between the ages of 15 and 49 worldwide in 2016，accounting for nearly one in ten deaths，according to a study published in The Lancet in 2018. "It has been known for decades that heavy drinking is bad for brain health，" said Sadie Boniface，head of research at the UK's Institute of Alcohol Studies.While there is no such thing as a "safe" level of drinking，with increased consumption of alcohol associated with poorer brain health，according to a recent study.
   In the observational study，researchers from the University of Oxford studied the relationship between the self-reported alcohol intake of some 25，000 people in the UK，and their brain scans.The researchers noted that drinking had an effect on the brain's gray matter—regions in the brain that make up "important bits where information is processed，" according to lead author Anya Topiwala，a senior clinical researcher at Oxford.
   "The more people drank，the less the volume of their gray matter，" Topiwala said via email. "Brain volume reduces with age and more severely with dementia （痴呆）.Smaller brain volume also predicts worse performance on memory testing，" she explained. "While alcohol only made a small contribution to this （0.8%），it was a greater contribution than other 'changeable' risk factors，" she said，explaining that changeable risk factors are "ones you can do something about，in contrast to aging."
   The team also investigated whether certain drinking patterns，beverage types and other health conditions made a difference to the impact of alcohol on brain health.They found that there was no "safe" level of drinking—meaning that consuming any amount of alcohol was worse than not drinking it.They also found no evidence that the type of drink—such as wine，spirits or beer—affected the harm done to the brain.
   However，certain characteristics，such as high blood pressure or obesity，could put people at higher risk，researchers added.So we shouldn't forget alcohol affects all parts of the body and there are multiple health risks.

（1）How was the observational study developed？
A．By comparing brain and health.
B．By comparing people and the researchers.
C．By comparing information and gray matter.
D．By comparing alcohol intake and brain scans.
（2）What is the result of the research？
A．Drinking wine have no impact on brain.
B．Drinking spirits have more impact on brain.
C．Drinking alcohol can cause reducing of brain volume.
D．Drinking alcohol can lead to obesity.
（3）Which of the following groups has a higher risk when drinking alcohol？
A．People drinking more types.
B．People with high blood pressure.
C．People selling the wine.
D．People with diabetes.
（4）What can be the best title for the passage？
A．Stay Away From Alcohol.
B．Lack of Sleep.
C．Consumer Health.
D．Keep-fit Exercise.

203882. （2024•阎良区•高二上期末） Improved air quality to reduce ozone （臭氧） pollution may have avoided the loss of 1.5 billion birds during the past 40 years，a study found.That's nearly 20% of bird life in the United States today.
   Ozone，a gas that appears in nature，is also produced by human activities，including by power plants and cars.The ozone in the upper atmosphere protects the Earth from the harmful ultraviolet rays （紫外线） of the sun.But ground-level ozone is harmful and pollutes the air we breathe.
   To examine the relationship between bird populations and air pollution，the researchers used models that connected bird observations from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's eBird program with ground-level pollution data.They tracked monthly changes in bird populations，air quality，and regulation status （治理现状） for 3，214 US counties over a period of 15 years.The findings suggest that ozone pollution is most harmful to the small birds—such as sparrows，warblers and finches—that make up 86% of all North American land-bird species.Ozone pollution directly harms birds by damaging their breathing systems，and indirectly harms their food sources.
   "Not only can ozone cause direct physical damage to birds，but it also can harm plant health and reduce numbers of the insects that birds eat，" said co-author Amanda Rodewald. "Not surprisingly，birds that cannot get high-quality habitat or food resources are less likely to survive or reproduce successfully.The good news here is that environmental policies intended to protect human health and return important benefits to birds too."
   This work contributes to our ever increasing understanding of the connection of environmental health and human health.

（1）How many birds are there in the United States now？
A．0.75 billion.
B．1.5 billion.
C．3 billion.
D．7.5 billion.
（2）What is the result of the findings？
A．Ozone pollution harms birds' food sources indirectly.
B．86% of North American land-bird species are extinct.
C．3，214 counties in America have effective regulations.
D．The researchers have observed birds for many years.
（3）What is Amanda Rodewald's attitude towards birds' future in the US？
A．Worried.
B．Positive.
C．Uncaring.
D．Doubtful.
（4）What is the suitable title for the text？
A．Ground-Level Ozone Makes up Most of the Air We Breathe
B．Environmental Policies Intend to Protect Human Health
C．Reduced Ozone Pollution May Have Avoided Bird Deaths
D．Regulations Bring Important Protection Benefits to Birds

202635. （2020•西安中学•四模） In the early days of sea travel，seamen on long voyages lived exclusively on salted meat and biscuits．Many of them died of scurvy （坏血病），a disease of the blood which causes swollen gums （牙龈），livid white spots on the flesh and general exhaustion．On one occasion，in 1535，an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew desperately ill．The men's lives were saved by Iroquois Indians who gave them vegetable leaves to eat．Gradually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by some lack in the sailors' diet and Captain Cook，on his long voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand，established the fact that scurvy could be prevented by the supply of fresh fruit for the sailors．
   Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious disease if certain important elements are missing．These elements are called "vitamins"．Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them，A，B，C，D，and so on．Different diseases are associated with shortages of particular vitamins．Even a slight lack of Vitamin C，for example，the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables，is thought to increase significantly our susceptibility （敏感度） to colds and influenza．
   The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet，including a variety of fruit and green vegetables．It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet，say during extended periods of religious fasting （斋戒），or when trying to lose weight，that it is necessary to make special supply to make up for the missing vitamins．

（1）Scurvy is a disease that is caused by       ．
A．salted meat and biscuits
B．exhaustion
C．lack of some essential substances
D．need of fresh vegetables and fruits
（2）To avoid such disease as scurvy，it's better for us       ．
A．not to eat much salted meat
B．to supply our diet with various vitamin pills
C．to have more fresh fruit and vegetables
D．to develop a good dietary habit
（3）Based on the passage we can safely conclude that if our diet is not comprehensive enough，       ．
A．vitamin pills are of no use
B．nutritious food might be unhealthy
C．vegetable leaves can be a good treatment
D．religious fasting may help out a lot
（4）Which of the following sentences best expresses the main idea of the passage？
A．Shortages of Vitamin C may cause serious diseases．
B．Fresh fruit and green vegetables contain enough nutrition that is necessary for a healthy body．
C．Vitamins play a vitally important role in people's health．
D．A good mixed diet normally supplies sufficient vitamins for us．

205489. （2020•莲湖区•高一下期末） Churchill，Manitoba is a small town．The northern winds roll through it from Canada's Hudson Bay．It might be just another point on the map if not for its seasonal settlers．
   It happens like clockwork every fall that hundreds of polar bears make their way through the town to the freezing bay where they hunt for seals after the ice packs enough to support their weight．The animals have been connected with Churchill since at least 1619．That's when Norwegian explorer Jens Munk and his sailors recorded making a meal of one bear while they wintered in the area． "It was of good taste and did not disagree with us．" That's what Munk wrote in his journal．
   Over the years，the animals' coming has earned the town the name of "Polar Bear Capital of the World．" Today，Churchill's bear population goes beyond its human population．There used to be about 7，000 residents but now only 813 living there．There was no such thing as an organized tour group to see the bears until 1980．The town might have been in terrible financial hardships．But the growing bear tourism industry helped．
   Today，some 10，000 tourists come to the town to see polar bears for six weeks in autumn every year．But the reasons why they come are different from before．Everyone was happier and they had such a good time seeing polar bears．Now things have changed because the word is out that this Western Hudson Bay population of bears，Churchill Bears，are going to be the first population of polar bears to die out．So when the tourists come up，they all have a little bit of a lump in their throats（如鲠在喉）because they're looking at a beautiful bear，but they're also looking at a dying-out bear，which makes the whole attitude toward the bears different．Unfortunately，that's becoming the major part of the whole attraction of the tours as well．Come and see the bears before it's too late．
