【題目】Reflect on our relation with nature

UK physicist Isaac Newton once said, “ 【1】.” Indeed, Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel and lash out (迅猛攻擊) at us.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) in China and some other countries at the beginning of this year is an example. 【2】 and probably has an intermediate host. It’s said that the virus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei province, where live wild animals were sold.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organization EcoHealth Alliance, said, “This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale (規(guī)模), human population density (密度), wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics (流行病).”

In the ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe . For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans. 【3】

However, as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try to change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify (改變) plants, capture some wild and odd animals to suit their own needs. In this process, humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance.

【4】, Brian Lamacraft at Medium said it’s time for people to “reflect on our relationship with our planet” and “reconnect with this world and everything that we’ve been given”. After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, “【5】”

A.Nature is not the place to visit. It’s our home

B.Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy

C.Chinese ancients always pursued the harmony between nature and human beings

D.It reminds us that the past outbreaks did severe damage to the human society

E.Although we don’t know for sure what first caused the NCP outbreak

F.The new coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017

G.The only mother of human beings are now facing a great threat-environmental problem

【答案】

【1】B

【2】F

【3】C

【4】E

【5】A

【解析】

這是一篇議論文。文章主要以今年年初在中國(guó)和其他一些國(guó)家爆發(fā)的新型冠狀病毒肺炎為例論證了如果我們違反自然法則規(guī)定，她可能會(huì)很殘忍，對(duì)我們大發(fā)脾氣，從而警示人與自然的關(guān)系：這是我們的家。

The new coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017(這種新型冠狀病毒與2017年在蝙蝠體內(nèi)發(fā)現(xiàn)的一種病毒類(lèi)似)對(duì)其進(jìn)行了分析，符合語(yǔ)境。故選F項(xiàng)。

【3】根據(jù)前文“In the ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe .( 在古代，人們需要依靠自然生存，所以他們敬畏自然。)”可知，本段的主題為人與自然的關(guān)系，選項(xiàng) C. Chinese ancients always pursued the harmony between nature and human beings.(中國(guó)古人歷來(lái)追求天人合一)符合主題，且呼應(yīng)前文的舉例“For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans.( 例如，美國(guó)印第安人相信人類(lèi)是自然的一部分，自然也是人類(lèi)的一部分。)。故選C項(xiàng)。

【4】根據(jù)后文：Brian Lamacraft at Medium said it’s time for people to “reflect on our relationship with our planet” and “reconnect with this world and everything that we’ve been given”.( Medium網(wǎng)站的布萊恩拉馬克拉夫特(Brian Lamacraft)表示，現(xiàn)在是人們“反思我們與地球的關(guān)系”、“重新與這個(gè)世界和我們被賦予的一切聯(lián)系起來(lái)”的時(shí)候了。)提及的it’s time應(yīng)是指新冠肺炎時(shí)期，說(shuō)明設(shè)空句再次提及新冠肺炎，且與后文形成讓步轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。選項(xiàng)E. Although we don’t know for sure what first caused the NCP outbreak(雖然我們不確定是什么導(dǎo)致了新冠肺炎的爆發(fā))符合語(yǔ)境分析。故選E項(xiàng)。

【5】設(shè)空句在段末，應(yīng)是對(duì)段落內(nèi)容或全文的總結(jié)。根據(jù)前文內(nèi)容提及：Brian Lamacraft at Medium said it’s time for people to “reflect on our relationship with our planet” and “reconnect with this world and everything that we’ve been given”.( Medium網(wǎng)站的布萊恩拉馬克拉夫特(Brian Lamacraft)表示，現(xiàn)在是人們“反思我們與地球的關(guān)系”、“重新與這個(gè)世界和我們被賦予的一切聯(lián)系起來(lái)”的時(shí)候了。)可知，本段再次強(qiáng)調(diào)了自然與人的關(guān)系。選項(xiàng)A.

Four teams of mountaineers set out on a race to conquer (征服) an unclimbed mountain peak in the Himalayas. The Canadian team chose a long, but safe route, while the British, Chinese and Russian teams chose a faster but steep and dangerous route up the mountain.

When night fell, the teams made camp on the mountainside. But the next morning, the sun rapidly rose air temperature and the strong wind caused a heavy snowfall, which led to a terrible avalanche. The disaster struck and some members of the British, Chinese and Russian teams were swept away and killed. But the Canadians didn’t know what had happened.

It was an hour after the disaster and there was no hope of finding any survivors. The leaders of the British, Chinese and Russian teams, met to discuss how to successfully keep all the survivors alive.

【題目】The Mystery of Dark Matter

If you look at the night sky, you'll often see stars moving very quickly. In fact, they move much more quickly than they should according to their size and the laws of physics. Scientists do not completely understand why the speed of these stars is so high. But many believe the reason is that much of the universe is made up of something called "dark matter". Groups of stars called galaxies, such as the Milky Way, might even consist of ninety per cent dark matter.

How much something weighs depends on where it is. The same object weighs only half as much on Mars as it does on Earth and almost three times as much on Jupiter. So scientists prefer to talk about the mass of something rather than how much it weighs, because mass does not change. They can work out the mass of galaxies by measuring the distance between them and the speed they move. Recently, Dr. Jorge Penarrubia and a team from Edinburgh University discovered something interesting. The mass of the Milky Way is only half as much as the mass of another nearby galaxy, Andromeda. This seems strange, but dark matter may explain why.

Finding out more about dark matter could help us understand how the universe began, but this is not easy. Lots of scientists with different types of expert knowledge are working on the problem. The Edinburgh team is working with many other universities like the University of British Columbia.

We can't see dark matter, it's very difficult to measure and we can't find out its mass. Unlike stars, dark matter doesn't produce or reflect light. But we can make a good guess that it is there because of the way things move and the way light bends. Experts now think dark mater may be very different from the mater which we find on Earth. There may also be five times as much dark matter in the universe as ordinary matter.

The Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky first gave dark matter its name in the nineteen-thirties. Researchers have been looking for it ever since. Today, technology such as the Large Hadron Collider is collecting more and more information but this technology cannot tell us everything. New ways of finding dark matter will be needed. Investigating dark matter may even mean we will need to start asking questions about the way we look at the universe, including the ideas of Albert Einstein.

【1】In what way do scientists find out the mass of galaxies？

A.Depending on where they are.

B.Depending on how much they weigh.

C.According to the way they move and the laws of physics.

D.By calculating how far between them and how fast they move.

【2】Which of the following statements about dark matter is NOT TRUE？

A.It can't be seen.

B.It doesn't reflect light.

C.It is not unlike ordinary matter.

D.It affects the movement of things.

【3】What may get researchers looking for dark matter？

A.To change the way light bends.

B.To prove the ideas of Albert Einstein.

C.To collect more and more information.

D.To help understand the origin of the universe.

【4】How is the article organized？

(P: Paragraph)

A.B.

C.D.

【5】Which heading best matches Paragraph 5?

A.It's there but we can't see it.

B.Sharing ideas leads to success.

C.We may need to change the way we think.

D.What your eyes can see can't be fully explained,

【題目】Animals in Antarctica

There are no land animals that actually live in Antarctica！However，the surrounding oceans are rich in living creatures！It’s just too cold to support very many life forms！Now let’s meet some of the Antarctica’s animals.

Weddell Seal

They are the southernmost pinniped(鰭足類(lèi)的)in the world. Males are generally smaller than females. Interestingly，a newborn pup has a coat of long hair，which they will shed(脫落) within the first month as the protective layer of their body is developed.

Blue Whale

Named for its bluegray color，this huge animal may grow to be roughly 100 feet long and weigh more than 120 tons！A blue whale eats about 4 tons of krill(磷蝦)per day during the feeding season！This means that about 40 million krill are eaten every day for six months by a blue whale！The tongue of the blue whale can be as big as a Volkswagen！The blue whale is the loudest animal on earth!

Rockhopper Penguins

One of the more beautiful penguins，the Rockhopper shake their heads and cause their yellow eyebrows to fly into a “halo”in order to attract a mate!

Wandering Albatross

This species of albatross wanders the oceans for months at a time searching for food. It sleeps on the ocean surface at night and drinks sea water.The Wandering Albatross is the largest bird in the world in terms of wing span—11 feet!

Ross Seal

Ross Seals are very rarely seen because they live deep within the packice. It is believed that Ross Seals feed mainly on squid，fish and krill. They were named after the British polar explorer Sir James Ross，who first discovered them in 1840.

Emperor Penguin

Emperor Penguins are the biggest of the 17 penguin species. They are flightless birds. They are the only living species to reproduce during the harsh Antarctic winter. Without a nest，the father Emperor Penguin keeps the egg warm by holding it on his feet for 2－3 months until spring，during which the father doesn’t eat anything and he just eats a little snow for moisture. Unbelievable！What a Dad!

【1】We know from the 5th paragraph that the Wandering Albatross ______.

A.never touches the landB.is a good swimmer and flyer

C.drink fresh waterD.sleeps on boats

【2】According to the last paragraph ______.

A.there are 18 penguin species on earth
