保护主义者

首页 > 试题列表 > 单题解析

217755. （2024•师大附中•高二上一月）     Conservationists（保护主义者） received good news recently after a big research project found that wildlife conservation projects are really effective.
    At the moment，nearly a third of species that are observed by experts are ones classed as endangered due to human activities.Threats to these species include habitat loss and changes in weather patterns such as rising temperatures.Conservation projects aim to help improve species numbers and help them develop.
    For the new study，a team of international researchers looked at 665 trials（试验） of conservation efforts between 1890 and 2019.The trials were across the world and focused on lots of different species.The resultowed that two thirds of conservation trials either improved biodiversity-the variety of wildlife in an area or slowed down its decline（减少）.The researchers said that when conservationist efforts do work，they"really work".
    Efforts to manage meat-eaters along the coast of Florida，US，which helped to improve the numbers of loggerhead turtles and least terns-a type of bird，were a success.Breeding（繁育）certain species and then freeing them into the wild，such as Chinook salmon and Cuban crocodiles，was also a successful conservation method.Although not all efforts were a success，sometimes they helped other species by accident.Off the coast of New South Wales，Australia，protected sea areas were created to improve seahorse numbers.The seahorse population actually fell because the protected waters attracted meat-eaters，such as octopuses，but the octopus population increased.
    Although the study was global，there was less focus on Central and South America，Southeast Asia and parts of Africa，where there is less money for research.For the next stage of the study，the plan is to include more regions.

（1）What can we know about the 665 conservation trials？
A.Most of them were successful.
B.They were carried out in developed countries.
C.Most of their subjects were endangered species.
D.They aimed to limit human influences on wildlife.
（2）How does the author develop paragraph 4？
A.By providing examples.
B.By comparing various species.
C.By presenting causes and effects.
D.By listing similarities and differences.
（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A.Southeast Asia didn't pay attention to conservation projects.
B.Money should be raised to support the project.
C.More researcherould take part in the project.
D.The project will be carried out in a wider range of areas.
（4）What can be the best title for the text？
A.Climate Changes Affect Wildlife.
B.Conservation Projects Are Working.
C.The Endangered Animal Populations Rise.
D.Conservation Projects Get Worldwide Attention.

[解析]

（1）细节理解题。根据第三段The results showed that two thirds of conservation trials either improved biodiversity—the variety of wildlife in an area or slowed down its decline（减少）.（结果显示，三分之二的保护试验要么改善了生物多样性﹣﹣﹣一个地区的野生动物种类，要么减缓了其衰退。）可知，大多数的保护试验是成功的。故选A。
（2）推理判断题。根据第四段Breeding （繁育） certain species and then freeing them into the wild，such as Chinook salmon and Cuban crocodiles，was also a successful conservation method.（繁育某些物种并将其放归野外，例如奇努克鲑鱼和古巴鳄鱼，也是成功的保护方法。）和The sea horse population actually fell because the protected waters attracted meat﹣ eaters，such as octopuses，but the octopus population increased.（海马的数量实际上下降了，因为受保护的水域吸引了肉食动物，如章鱼，但章鱼的数量却增加了。）可知，作者通过提供具体的成功实例来展开段落。故选A。
（3）推理判断题。根据最后一段Although the study was global，there was less focus on Central and South America，Southeast Asia and parts of Africa，where there is less money for research.For the next stage of the study，the plan is to include more regions.（尽管这项研究是全球性的，但对中美洲和南美洲、东南亚以及部分非洲地区的关注较少，因为这些地方的研究资金较少。在研究的下一阶段，计划将更多地区纳入其中。）可推知，该项目将在更广泛的领域进行。故选D项。
（4）标题归纳题。根据第一段Conservationists （保护主义者） received good news recently after a big research project found that wildlife conservation projects are really effective.（保护主义者最近收到了好消息，因为一项大型研究项目发现野生动物保护项目确实非常有效。）和结合文章的主要内容可知，文章主要讨论了保护项目的有效性以及生物多样性的恢复，最能体现文章主题的标题是B项Conservation Projects Are Working.（保护项目正在起作用）。故选B。

213668. （2023•鄠邑区•高一下期中）     International Tiger Day is an annual celebration to raise the awareness of tiger conservation.It's held on 29 July.Governments and citizens across the world organize awareness programs on that day to spread the importance of protecting tigers.
    From ancient times，tigers were the subject of constant attraction for their beauty，size and sometimes mythical stories related to them.People's fascination （迷恋） for tigers is obvious from the fact that tigers are still a part of many national symbols and flags.Tigers are the largest cat species.Unfortunately，the population of tigers is fast decreasing.Every part of tigers from tail to skin to nail is traded in the illegal market for very high values.Many tigers are hunted，which is one of the key threats to their existence.They are also caught and raised as pets.97 percent of the world tiger populations decreased in the last 100 years and only 3，890 tigers are left.If tigers get extinct，we will lose a species.And it also means that enough forests have been destroyed，which may endanger many other species.
    For us，tigers are symbols of wildlife's fighting for survival.It reminds us of the dangers we face because of people's over-exploitation （过度开发） of the nature.It's an opportunity as well.Many efforts are on the way to double the tiger population by 2024.Strict national and international laws are against hunting and trading tigers.As a result，the number of tigers in the wild has risen for the first time in more than 100 years.Even though this is just a small increase，it's a huge symbolic victory in our efforts against the destruction of forests and wildlife.It's very important that we all join together in this effort，not only to save tigers，but also to save our forests.

（1）What can we learn about International Tiger Day？
A．It's celebrated on 29 June.

203658. （2024•师大附中•高二上期末） Transport is undergoing a massive transformation so it can meet society's demands for a low- carbon economy.Introducing electric vehicles （EV） and declining gasoline use are helping，but zero-carbon hydrogen can speed up both the transition （转变） and long-term decarbonization of transport.
   In the US，transportation produces the largest share of all greenhouse gas emissions （排放） in the economy at 29%，according to the Environmental Protection Agency.More than 90% of transport fuel is petrol based，but if more vehicles used hydrogen，emissions of this kind would plummet.
   However，hydrogen is not considered an ideal replacement for gasoline as an engine fuel for cars because it is harder to store safely.And while fuel cell electric vehicles （FCEVs） that turn hydrogen into electricity can compete with EV performance-and even out-compete them on range and refill time，extra energy is needed to produce the hydrogen needed for fuel.Also，finding investment for storage，pipelines and fuel stations is still a challenge for many nations.
   Currently，governments worldwide are backing green hydrogen projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in heavy industries like freight （货运），steel，and energy storage.But hydrogen transport will need rapid production methods to create the fuel needed for the world's road fleet.
   Thankfully，research is advancing all the time.Nanoscale （纳米级的） thin films are applied to improving the chemical process to rapidly harvest hydrogen from the seawater.The same technology has been successfully used in solar power devices with higher efficiency-to-cost rates.Since hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and as seawater makes up about 96% of all water on Earth，there is a virtually limitless supply.
   Even wastewater and solid waste can create green hydrogen.Researchers at Princeton University are using sunlight to separate hydrogen from industrial wastewater.Chemical plants that currently face high costs for cleaning wastewater could transform it into clean hydrogen supplies.

（1）What does the underlined word "plummet" mean in Paragraph 2？
A．Stop.
B．Decrease.
C．Continue.
D．Disappear.
（2）What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？
A．Ways of storing hydrogen safely.
B．Benefits of fuel cell electric vehicles.
C．Challenges of using hydrogen as car fuel.
D．Differences between gasoline and hydrogen.
（3）What makes it more efficient to get hydrogen from the ocean？
A．The application of solar power devices.
B．The method of identifying water elements.
C．The invention.of the water transport system.
D．The use of the nanoscale thin-film technology.
（4）Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text？
A．Clean Energy Hydrogen Ready to Take Off.
B．Traditional Fuels Bound to Reach a Dead End.
C．How We Can Generate Energy from Hydrogen.
D．What the Future of Transportation May Be Like.

203573. （2025•临潼区•高一上期末）     An adult African elephant consumes about 223 liters of water and 3，080 pounds of roots，grass and fruit daily.That's like having 634 cans of soda and 1，200 hamburgers every day.This keeps them moving thousands of miles across Africa each year.Elephants usually migrate between March and May.Females live in groups with their children，and quickly run out of the food supply.They hit the road in search of food.Male elephants live alone，so they don't use resources as quickly as the females.Instead，they migrate during their mating cycle.When the females pack their trunks，so do the males.
   During migration，elephants face short water supplies and extremely high temperatures.But people are their number-one problem.Poachers（偷猎者） kill 35，000 elephants each year for ivory.Many African farmers build fences（栅栏） to protect crops and cattle，which might block regular migration paths.Traffic roads affect elephant migration，too.During one study of 28 elephants in Central Africa，only one female crossed an unprotected road.
   Scientists，wildlife organizations and governments cooperate to find solutions for Africa's elephants."To unlock the secret of where elephants move and how they move，we place collars（项圈）with a satellite unit inside，"Dr.Michael Chase says.GPS collars help map which routes elephants use most so that countries can establish protected elephant passages.
    Locals come in as well.James Isiche，East Africa Director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare says，"We have got the community on our side by a project；they've agreed to partner with us to conserve elephants."The local community run wildlife parks to attract tourists."This project helps us take care of both the wildlife and our cows，""says Sikira，a tribal elder in Maasai，Kenya.Protecting elephant migration routes allows these gentle giants to survive.

205078. （2022•蓝田县•高一上期末） The Chinese paddlefish（白鲟）-one of the world's largest freshwater fish-has been announced extinct.Scientists say the paddlefish，also called the Chinese swordfish，is believed to have a lineage dating back at least 34 million years.With its long nose and mouth，the paddlefish could grow as long as seven meters.
But a research paper recently published in Science of the Total.Environment reported the paddlefish was now extinct.The researchers include scientists from the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences，Britain's University of Kent and the University of South Bohemia in the Czech Republic.
   The paper says the paddlefish was announced extinct for two reasons.It said that the fish was not able to survive because of widespread overfishing and damage to its native environment in the Yangtze River.
Researchers discovered 332 different species of fish in the Yangtze River in 2017 and 2018.But they did not find a single Chinese paddlefish.They guessed the fish disappeared between 2005 and 2010.The extinction of the Chinese paddlefish was "a huge loss" to nature.
   Pan Wenjing is a forest and ocean expert with Greenpeace East Asia. "The ecology of the Yangtze River is almost in ruins due to human activity in past decades" Pan said.She stressed that China had taken measures to improve the Yangtze's environment，including a 10-year ban（禁令）on fishing.
   After the extinction was reported in the news，some Chinese media and Internet users look a look back at the large creatures.Many people appeared to have not heard of the Chinese paddlefish before it was announced extinct.
   "Every time I see the news of another species going extinct，my heart starts to ache， "wrote one Weibo user. "Humanould not live alone on this planet， " the user added.

204393. （2023•铁一中学•高二下期末） In southeastern Brazil，local fishers walk into dark waters in search of mullet （鲻鱼） On their own，it would be tricky to find the silvery fish.But the humans get help from an unusual partner：wild bottlenose dolphins.
   With nets in hand，the fishers patiently wait as their cetacean （鲸类的） partners drive the fish toward the shore.A signal from the dolphins—usually a deep dive—indicates when they should cast their nets.This fishing partnership has passed down through the generations，lasting for more than a century.
   While researchers knew humans profited from this pairing，they couldn't confirm whether it benefited the dolphins.Now，in a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences，researchers suggest cetaceans that hunt with humans have more chances to live than those that don't.
   "Human-wildlife cooperation in general is a rare phenomenon at a global scale." says Mauricio Cantor，a biologist at Oregon State University and leader of the study. "Usually humans gain the benefit，and nature pays the cost.But this interaction has been happening for over 150 years."
   Fishers were more successful when they worked with the dolphins.When dolphins were present，the fishers were 17 times more likely to catch prey （猎物） and netted nearly four times more mullet when they timed their casting with the cetaceans' signals.Eighty-six percent of all 4.955 mullet caught during the study period came from "synchronous （同时的） interactions"—when the allies organized their actions perfectly with one another.
   The study also revealed dolphins hunting with humans had a 13 percent increase in survival rate over other dolphins.These cooperative dolphins are more likely to stay near the shore，reducing their chance of entanglement （缠绕） in illegal fishing equipment.Besides，the dolphins can take some fish directly from the fishers' harvest.

（1）What do the first two paragraphs talk about concerning Brazilian fishers？
A．They trick dolphins into fishing for them.
B．They harvest more fish with dolphins' help.
C．They have been training dolphins over a century.
D．They cast the fishing nets when dolphins surface.
（2）What does Mauricio Cantor's research show？
A．Nature favors human beings at a huge cost.
B．Fishers benefit from cooperating with cetaceans.
C．Human-wildlife interaction is a new global trend.
D．Dolphins working with man have higher survival rate.
（3）What does the underlined word "allies" refer to in paragraph 5？
A．Prey.
B．Mullet.
C．Partners.
D．Researchers.
（4）What's the author's main purpose in writing the text？
A．To appeal for the protection of sea creatures.
B．To show a unique human-dolphin relationship.
C．To applaud for development in fishing research.
D．To encourage fishers to better draw on dolphins.

201845. （2024•西安一中•二模）     A carbon footprint is only one component of the broader ecological footprint.An ecological footprint compares the population's consumption of resources and land with the planet's ability to regenerate.The Earth's ecological footprint is currently 23 percent over capacity.It takes about one year and two months to regenerate what we consume in a year.
    Carbon footprints help people keep track of changes.Because footprints quantify an amount of carbon that increases or decreases based on energy use，they let people know that a new hybrid car or home insulation （隔离） helps.Transportation accounts for 33 percent of CO₂ emissions in the United States，so many people try to lower their mileage （里程）.Some walk or bike whenever possible；others take public transport.Home energyuse accounts for 21 percent of U.S.CO₂ emissions，so it helps to have an efficient home.Setting the thermostat （恒温器） at a moderate temperature and installing double-paned windows lowers energy costs.
    Of course，individual efforts can go only so far.Cutting CO₂ and other greenhouse gases down to safer levels requires significant government regulation.Lessening carbon footprints does let people see where they are and how they can change.Those who want to accept personal responsibility for their emissions can track their own reductions and change their habits.
    Because carbon calculators ask for only rough estimates，it's easy for investigators to approximate the footprints of celebrities and politicians.Analysts hope to uncover high-profile figures，especially those who promote environmentalism.Although performer Madonna and other celebrities have been accused of flying frequently，former vice president Al Gore has drawn the harshest accusations.The Gores' spokesperson did not deny that but emphasized that the couple subscribes to green power.

（1）How long can the Earth produce what we need in a year？        ?
A.2 months.
B.12 months.
C.14 months.
D.23 months.
（2）What is the second paragraph mainly about？        ?
A.Why people are worried about CO₂ emissions.
B.How individuals can help to lower CO₂ emissions.
C.Where most CO₂ emissions come from in the United States.
D.What measures have been taken to cut down CO₂ emissions.
（3）What is still needed to cut greenhouse gases down to safer levels？        ?
A.The participation of the public.
B.The development of new equipment.
C.The changes of our living habits.
D.The powerful efforts of the government.
（4）Why do investigators estimate the footprints of famous people easily？        ?
A.Because they have mastered methods.
B.Because it doesn't call for much accuracy.
C.Because famous people are easy to approach.
D.Because new technology has advanced greatly.

214035. （2022•周至四中•高一下期中） Picky（挑剔的）eaters may have good reasons for their behavior.No matter why your child has become picky，how you handle the situation can affect his or her future.Therefore，you should know the following reasons for picky children first of all.
   Neophobia is common in children；it often happens at the dinner table.Some children just refuse to try new food because they don't know what it will taste like，while others dislike new food before even smelling it.Some children take it to the extreme and will only eat a few foods that they like.Psychologist Dr.Elizabeth Capaldi says that，by the time children reach the age of two，they have formed their own eating habits that they don't want to be disturbed by new offering at the table.
   A newly published study led by Dr.Lucy Cooke of University College London showed that picky eating in children results from genetic（遗传的）and environmental causes.The research，which followed the eating habits of 5，390 pairs of twins between the ages of 8 and 11，found that about 75% of the neophobia in the children was from their parents，while 25% was due to the influence of environment.
   Children grow at a high speed during their first year，but that fast-paced growth tends to slow down by their second year.When children are not experiencing one of those fast growth periods，their body needs less energy；and that results in（导致）a smaller appetite（胃口）.When children are not hungry，they tend to enjoy only food they like.They refuse new food and food that is not their favorite.Some children will limit the amount of food to only one kind，like hamburgers or pancakes，leaving all the other foods untouched.
   In some cases，many real reasons why a children behaves as a picky eater exist.About 5% of children who are 10 years of age or younger have some type of neurological dysfunction（神经机能障碍）that influences their eating habits.These children may be easily hurt by some special smells，or their brain may not be able to process such sensory information properly.

（1）The underlined word "Neophobia" in Paragraph 2 probably means        .
A．the fear of something new or unknown
B．the worry about the amount of new food
C．the feeling of eating at the dinner table
D．the fear of eating tasty food
（2）What can we learn about the study led by Dr.Cooke？
A．It paid more attention to the environmental effects on children's eating habits.
B．It followed the eating habits of 5，390 children aged between 8 and 11.
C．It showed that genetics greatly affect children's eating habits.
D．It suggested that parentould have good eating habits.
（3）The fourth paragraph mainly tells us that        .
A．children's growth speed stays the same in the first two years
B．children develop their own diet when they grow up
C．children tends to eat less when they grow up
D．children's growth has an effect on their diet
（4）The reason mentioned in the last paragraph is about a child's        .
A．exercise
B．sense
C．habit
D．interest

204960. （2022•阎良区•高二上期末） You've heard that plastic is polluting the oceans-between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference？Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage，forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
   At the beginning of the year，the artist built a piece called "Strawpocalypse，" a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves，frozen mid-crash.Made of 168，000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups，the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City，Vietnam.
   Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source of plastic pollution，but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and，because of their small size and weight，they cannot be recycled.Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone，the straw will take centuries to disappear.
   In a piece from 2018，Von Wong wanted to show a specific statistic：Every 60 seconds，a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work，titled "Truckload of Plastic，" Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10，000 pieces of plastic，which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped（倾倒）from a truck all at once.
   Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.

（1）What are Von Wong's artworks intended for？
A．Beautifying the city he lives in.
B．Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
C．Introducing eco-friendly products.
D．Reducing garbage on the beach.
（2）Why does the author discuss plastic straws in Paragraph 3？
A．To explain why they are useful.
B．To voice his views on modern art.
C．To show the difficulty of their recycling.
D．To find a substitute for them.
（3）What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers？
A．Worrying.
B．Calming.
C．Refreshing.
D．Challenging.
（4）What is the main idea of the text？
A．Artists's opinions on plastic safety.
B．Media interest in contemporary art.
C．Responsibility demanded of big companies.
D．Ocean plastics transformed into statues.

    With its typical red crest and face，as well as a long black mouth and snow-white feathers，the crested ibis is known as "the oriental gem" in China.They were once widespread in East Asia and Siberia until the 20th century when hunting，ecological damage and increased human activities drove the birds to near extinction.
    In 1981，the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in Yangxian County，northwest China's Shaanxi Province，and deep in the Qinling Mountains，making Qinling，a natural boundary between China's north and south，the last shelter of the wild birds.
    Since 1981，the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species，prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds' living areas，cutting down trees where they nest，using chemicals in their food-finding areas，and firing guns in their breeding（繁殖）areas.The Chinese government arranged special funds to protect the habitat of crested ibises，sealing off mountains to plant trees in the birds' living areas.China started the artificial breeding of crested ibises in 1991 and had bred more than 400 birds in Shaanxi as of last year.
    Years of constant effort have brought promising results.It is estimated that there are more than 5，000 crested ibises in the world now，and a majority of them live in Shaanxi.The bird's habitat in China has risen from less than 5 square km in 1981 to the current 15，000 square km.
    "It is lucky that the crested ibis，an ancient bird，is still flying around，" said Zan Linsen，head of the Shaanxi Academy of Forestry. "The conservation story of crested ibises not only shows us the power of ancient life，but also the necessity and urgency of ecological environment protection."

205117. （2022•蓝田县•高二上期末） The Earth is facing a climate crisis，but it's also getting greener.According to a new research，the rise is largely because of China and India.A study by NASA，based on extensive satellite imagery，has revealed that the two countries with the world's biggest populations are also responsible for the largest in- crease in green plants.
   A third of the leaf increase is attributable to China and India，due to the implementation of major tree planting projects as well as a vast increase in agriculture. "China and India account for one-third of the greening，but contain only 9% of the planet's land area covered in vegetation-a surprising finding，considering the large populations in the countries need much land， " Chi Chen，the study's lead author said in a statement.
   Between 2000 and 2017，a NASA sensor gathered data of the Earth's surface from aboard two satellites，the Terra and the Aqua.Using the data，researchers discovered that China is the source of a quarter of the increase in green leaf area，despite possessing only 6.6% of the world's vegetated area.Forests ac- count for 42% of that increase，while croplands make up a further 32%.China's increase in forest area is the result of forest conservation and expansion programs，established to combat the impacts of climate change and air pollution.
   Rama Nemani，a researcher at NASA's Ames Research Center，said in a statement， "When the greening of the Earth was first observed，we thought it was due to a warmer，wetter climate from the added car- bon dioxide in the atmosphere，leading to more leaf growth in northern forests，for instance.Now，with the data，we see that humans are also contributing， " Nemani said. "This will help scientists make better pre- dictions about the behavior of different Earth systems，which will help countries make better decisions a- bout how and when to lake action. "

（1）What can we get from the new research by NASA？
A．China and India should be responsible for the world's climate crisis.
B．China and India make a contribution to the Earth's increasing greening.
C．China and India have the biggest populations and the most green plaints.
D．The Earth no longer faces a climate crisis because of China and India's efforts.
（2）What does the underlined word "it" refer to in the last paragraph？
A．The greening of the Earth.
B．The increased croplands.
C．The protection of the forests.
D．The impacts of climate.
（3）What is the best title of the passage？
A．The Earth is Facing a Climate Crisis
B．China and India Cause the Climate Change
C．China and India are Making the Earth Greener
D．NASA Released a Report on Air Pollution

212763. （2025•交大附中•高二下期中）     Global warming is mainly caused by the increased emission of greenhouse gases，in particular carbon dioxide produced by power stations that use huge amounts of fossil fuel to supply us with electricity.These greenhouse gases have an average lifetime in the atmosphere of50 to 200 years.This means that even if we stopped the emission of greenhouse gases completely tomorrow，global warming would still continue for decades to come.
    The International Energy Agency （IEA） records the energy consumption worldwide and produces a forecast for the next 25 years.In their last energy outlook published in 2006，IEA predicts a strong increase of the carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 as a consequence of the increasing demand for energy worldwide.Additionally，IEA investigated to which extent the above-mentioned emissions of CO₂could be prevented if politics applied strict measures.One of many measures investigated was massive facilitation and，incentives （激励） for building additional nuclear power plants.
    Nuclear energy is used to generate electrical power without any sort of fossil fuel involved in the process.Therefore，CO₂ emission-can indeed be reduced，if electricity power plants driven by fossil fuels were replaced by nuclear power plants.Yet，the application of nuclear power is highly risky and problematic；and so the problem of CO₂ emissions must not be looked at independently of all other risks and problems.
    Some critics claim that nuclear energy's emissions can compare to those of fossil fuels when the life cycle impacts of nuclear power are considered.Although nuclear power plants do not release greenhouse gases when generating electricity，certain processes used to build and fuel the plants do，such as transporting the fuel to the plants in trucks.However，dozens of studieow that nuclear plants，life cycle impacts are actually more comparable to those of renewable energy，e.g.wind and solar，and far less than those of coal-or natural gas-fired power plants.
    In the end，we can say that nuclear energy could significantly contribute to reducing the cause of global warming.Having said that，it can also be a highly risky option if we shut the eyes to the many risks of nuclear power.

（1）What can be inferred about greenhouse gases from paragraph 1？
A.They can be restricted within a short time.
B.They will reduce people's average lifetime.
C.They will keep increasing for decades to come.
D.They have a lasting impact on global warming.
（2）What is the purpose of the IEA's investigation？
A.To analyse the impact of global warming.
B.To identify ways to reduce CO₂ emissions.
C.To predict future energy consumption worldwide.
D.To promote construction of nuclear power plants.
（3）What is the author's attitude towards nuclear energy？
A.Tolerant.
B.Objective.
C.Disapproving.
D.Conservative.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A.Solutions to Dealing with CO₂ Emissions
B.IEA Energy Outlook for Decades to Come
C.Is Nuclear Energy the Answer to Global Warming？
D.How Can Human Beings Survive Global Warming？

204480. （2023•莲湖区•高一上期末） Polar bears generally use sea ice to hunt （捕猎），but a newly discovered group has found another way.An isolated （与世隔绝的） population of polar bears has been discovered in a fjord （峡湾） in southeast Greenland，which is free of sea ice for most of the year.Polar bear generally need sea ice to survive，so the discovery is raising hopes that some kinds of the polar bears might survive the loss of sea ice caused by global warming.
   Researchers found the population living in a fjord in the southeast Greenland，which is surrounded by mountains and an ice sheet to the west，and ocean to the east.The sea-ice coverage lasts for only around 100 days each year.With sea ice in the fjord becoming smaller because of global warming，the whole group were expected to die out by the end of this century.
   But the isolated population has found a way to hunt without sea ice.The group，about 27 adult females，has been isolated from other polar bear populations along Greenland's east coast for at least 200 years.
   Tracking data from marked bears proves that they don't move far.For example，when members of the group went out of the fjord，the ice on which they sat sometimes got caught in the rapid water flow. "Whenever this happened，they would get stuck and then，they would have to jump off，swim to the beach and walk back home empty-handed，" says lead author Kristin Laidre，an animal ecologist at the University of Washington in Seattle.
   Though the researchers failed to video their hunting without sea ice，the existence of this small population in conditions of low sea-ice coverage suggests there is a chance that the population can survive，even as sea ice flows away to farther north each year.

（1）What have the newly discovered polar bears found？
A．A place filled with ice sheets.
B．A way to hunt without sea ice.
C．A way to track sea ice flowing away.
D．An ice sheet caught in the rapid water flow.
（2）Why were polar bears in the fjord expected to die out？
A．They are being hunted by human.
B．They have lost their source of food.
C．They can't stand the increasing heat.
D．The sea ice there is becoming smaller.
（3）What can be inferred from the text？
A．The bears can swim very far to hunt for food.
B．Kristin Laidre is negative about the future of the group.
C．Once the group went out of the fjord，they might get into trouble.
D．If the bears got caught in the rapid water flow，they wouldn't go home.
（4）Which is the most suitable title for the text？
A．Polar bear population can survive without sea ice
B．Sea ice is becoming smaller because of the global warming
C．Polar bear population may die out because of the global warming
D．A newly discovered polar bear population has been stuck in a fjord

218059. （2023•长安区•高二上一月）根据短文内容，从短文中的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    Cities are diverse ecosystems.In addition to visitors from the world，a large number of specieare our urban areas. （1）       .
    Because cities are built for humans，they do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife.（2）       But when we cut grass or plant flowers，we destroy natural habitats.
    However，our actions sometimes help other species.When a bridge in Austin，Texas was repaired，engineers added small gap s running along the length of its bottom.This made a good home for bats，and soon the bridge was the home of thousands of bats. （3）        Now，they have come to value their winged neighbours.The bats are a tourist attraction，and they eat lots of bugs every night.
    （4）       The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example.The park used native plants and created open，natural spaces for wildlife.The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds.In many ways，the park is the opposite of a zoo. （5）       .
    Another example is a tall"Birdscraper"building in New York，which is in the middle of a lake.Birds would sit on it，and their droppings would fall into the water to feed water plants which would then create oxygen through photosynthesis（光合作用）.
    Only if we learn to share our space，can we become better neighbors to the wildlife around us.

A.Therefore，we should learn to exist in harmony with nature.
B.Instead of being kept in cages，wildlife can move about freely.
C.At first，people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.
D There are also structures built with the objective of bringing wildlife into the city.
E.As our cities spread，we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.
F.In the past，bats always disturbed the life of people there and caused a lot of trouble to them.
G.For example，most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful.
