资源简介 英语 选择性必修·第四册[RJ]Section Ⅲ Using Language & Assessing Your Progress——Listening and Speaking——一、听力微技能3——海洋探险类英语听力中,海洋探险类文章往往充满了专业术语、描述性的语言和可能的文化背景知识,这对听者来说既是一种挑战也是一次丰富的体验。以下是一些提升海洋探险类文章听力技能的策略:1.积累专业词汇提前学习与海洋探险相关的词汇,如海洋生物(dolphins, whales, sharks, coral reefs)、航海术语(nautical chart, compass, anchor, buoy)、气候与天气条件(typhoon, tsunami, squall line)、探险装备(diving suit, sonar, GPS, life raft)等。2.熟悉文章结构海洋探险类文章通常遵循一定的结构,如介绍探险目的、描述出发准备、讲述探险过程(遇到的困难、发现的奇观等)、总结探险成果或感悟。了解这种结构有助于更好地预测和理解接下来的内容。3.注意细节信息探险类文章往往包含大量细节,如地理位置、时间线、具体事件等。学会捕捉这些信息,可以更全面地理解文章内容。听力文本:Good afternoon, everyone! I'll be your guide as we tour the Ocean Park today. You're learning about creatures that live in the ocean. Let's take a look at this fish first here. This fish is called a yellow headed jawfish. It gets its name from its unique color and a large mouth. Although it is narrow and a bit small in size, you can spot it easily because of its shining blue and yellow body. Their unique look makes them a favorite with visitors, but watch out! These fish get scared easily and may jump out of uncovered tanks. Next, you will see a long, brown colored fish. It's called a mudskipper, and it is amazing because it can live in water or on land. They can move through the mud, where they find most of their food. Mudskippers eat a variety of plants and animals. When they get hot, these fish exhibit some unusual behaviors. They roll around in the mud to keep cool. Alright, let's go to see one more creature and then we'll have time for questions!Q:1.Where do jawfishes get their name A.From their head.B.From their color.C.From their size.2.What do we know about jawfishes A.They like playing a trick.B.They're friendly to visitors.C.They're popular with visitors.3.Why does the speaker find mudskippers amazing A.They can live both on land and in water.B.They feed on plants and animals in water.C.They are able to survive high temperature.4.What are the listeners going to do next A.Draw the creatures.B.Ask some questions.C.Watch another creature.1.原文中提到“This fish is called a yellow headed jawfish. It gets its name from its unique color and a large mouth.”,这句话明确说明了黄头颚鱼的名字来源于它独特的颜色和一张大嘴。故选B。2.原文中提到“Their unique look makes them a favorite with visitors”,这句话直接说明了黄头颚鱼因其独特的外观而受到游客的喜爱,即它们很受游客欢迎。故选C。3.原文中提到“It's called a mudskipper, and it is amazing because it can live in water or on land.”,这句话明确指出了弹涂鱼(mudskipper)的惊人之处在于它们既能在水中生活,也能在陆地上生活。故选A。4.原文中最后提到“Alright, let's go to see one more creature and then we'll have time for questions!”,这句话说明接下来听众们要去看另一种生物。故选C。二、话题口语表达(开放型)1.How do you understand the speaker's words Have you learned more about ocean animals 2.What do you think about the environment the ocean creatures live in Is it an urgent issue to focus on environmental protection ——Reading for Writing——一、阅读单词:写出汉语含义1.directory n. 名录;电话号码簿;(计算机文件或程序的)目录2.gallon n. 加仑(容积单位,1英制加仑约等于4.5升)3.marine adj. 海的;海产的;海生的二、核心单词:写出英文单词1.meanwhile adv. 与此同时;(比较两方面)对比之下2.exploit vt. 开发;利用;剥削3.possession n.

The Deepwater Horizon spilled over 200 million gallons of oil into the sea in 2010. Plastic pollution is also bad, killing many birds and fish5, and has even been found in our tap water. 1引导时间状语从句 2动名词短语作talk of的宾语 3动名词短语作动词mean的宾语 4动词不定式短语作动词continue的宾语 5现在分词短语作结果状语扩大勘探意味着污染加剧。2010年“深水地平线”号钻井平台在海中溢出了两亿多加仑的石油。塑料污染也十分严重,导致许多鸟类和鱼类死亡,甚至在我们的自来水中也发现了塑料污染。Mining for resources is very damaging, especially in the Arctic. Because of climate change, there is less ice now, which6 means we can look for more fossil fuels further north. But if7 we burn these, the ice will melt more and8 this negative cycle will continue. Climate change is warning us that9 something is very wrong. 6引导非限制性定语从句,解释说明整个主句 7引导条件状语从句 8连接两个并列分句 9引导宾语从句,在从句中没有语义,不作成分,可省略资源开采极具破坏性,尤其是在北极地区。由于气候变化,现在冰川减少了,这意味着我们可以在更北的地方寻找更多的化石燃料。但是,如果我们烧尽这些燃料,冰川将融化得更多,这一不良循环将持续下去。气候变化正警告我们情况不妙。Overfishing is another problem. Whales and dolphins are also hunted for their meat or for so called research. Although10 this was banned in 1982, some countries are still “murdering” these intelligent creatures without mercy11. 10引导让步状语从句 11介词短语作方式状语过度捕捞是另一个问题。鲸鱼和海豚也遭到捕杀,成为盘中美食或用于所谓的研究。尽管早在1982年就已禁止,但有的国家仍在无情地“谋杀”这些聪明的生物。The sea is home to life, not human beings' possessions. It is huge, but it is more sensitive than12 we think. If we do not protect it, future generations will not forgive us. 12引导比较状语从句海洋是生命的家园,而不是人类的私产。海洋广阔无垠,但比我们想象的更为敏感。如果我们不保护它,子孙后代将不会原谅我们。Text 2文本2To truly understand our planet13, we must explore the oceans which14 cover most of it. Opponents may be concerned, but sea exploration is important for our future. For example, scientific research ships can help address important issues such as climate change. We need to understand what15 is happening to our planet so that16 we can take action. Therefore, more research is necessary. 13动词不定式短语作目的状语 14引导定语从句,修饰oceans 15引导宾语从句,在从句中作主语 16引导目的状语从句为了真正了解我们的星球,我们必须探索覆盖其表面大部分的海洋。反对者也许会忧心忡忡,但是海洋探索对我们的未来十分重要。例如,科学考察船可以帮助应对像气候变化这种重要的问题。我们需要了解我们的星球正在发生什么,这样我们才能采取行动。因此,有必要开展更多的研究。Understanding more about the sea17 will also help us manage its resources better18. Logging new species will improve our understanding of life on the earth. It may help us discover new medicines, as well as new sources of food and energy. Accessing the deep ocean may also help us to predict events such as earthquakes. 17动名词短语作主语 18动词不定式短语作宾语补足语, manage前省略了to深入了解海洋也有助于我们更好地管理其资源。记载新物种将提升我们对地球上的生命的了解。这可能还会帮助我们发现新的药物,以及新的食物和能源来源。深海探索还有可能会帮助我们预测地震等事件。The population of the world is growing and19 we need new resources for future development. There are probably vast amounts of resources under the sea and ice, not just oil and gas but also20 valuable minerals. 19连接两个并列分句 20 not just ... but also ... 连接两个名词短语世界人口正在不断增长,我们需要新的资源来维系未来的发展。海洋和冰川之下可能蕴藏着大量的资源,不仅仅是石油和天然气,还有珍贵的矿物。Of course, there are still environmental risks. However, these should be balanced with economic needs. Hopefully, as21 technology improves, we may have more options for managing this balance22. 21引导时间状语从句,意为“随着” 22动名词短语作介词for的宾语当然,环境风险仍然存在。但是,这些风险应该与经济需求相平衡。随着技术的进步,我们有望会有更多的选择来驾驭这一平衡。阅读领悟(一)课文导图填空(二)判断正误(T/F)1.Sea exploration have caused many problems, and will not continue to cause more.(F)2.Scientific research ships can address important issues, such as climate change.(T)3.Mining for resources doesn't damage the ocean environment.(F)4.Understanding more about the sea won't be able to help us manage its resources better.(F)5.Overfishing was banned in 1982, but some countries are still doing so.(T)6.The population of the world is larger and larger, and we need new resources for future development.(T)(三)问题链1.What is the genre of two texts Argumentative essay.2.What are the two authors' opinions about the sea exploration and why The author of Text 1 is against sea exploration, because the sea exploration has caused many problems and will continue to cause more.

In this way, whale family can regroup.”Sperm whales live in nearly all the world's oceans in groups of about 15 to 20 animals and they practice communal (集体的) childcare. The calves do not have to follow their mother too closely as a sperm whale calf can take milk from any milk producing female in its social group.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于抹香鲸的新发现——小鲸鱼可以通过身体拍打水面找寻自己的妈妈。1.The underlined word“they”in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ________.A.the whales B.the diversC.the photos D.the mothers答案:C解析:指代判断题。根据第一段内容以及第二段中的“Taken by a British diver who was following the sperm whale (抹香鲸) calf”可知,英国潜水员拍的这些照片显示了失去母亲踪迹的小鲸鱼在亚速尔群岛附近再次找到母亲的那一刻,由此可知,they指代的是上文提到的照片。故选C。2.According to Justin Hart, the young sperm whale ________.A.found its family with his helpB.suffered a lot in the cold watersC.lost contact with its family for daysD.slammed as a means of communication答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知,抹香鲸幼崽通过拍击水面来与成年抹香鲸交流。故选D。3.What do we know about sperm whales A.The young are independent.B.They are highly social animals.C.They tend to live in warm sea waters.D.Females take turns to care for babies.答案:B解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Sperm whales live in ... practice communal (集体的) childcare.”可知,抹香鲸会成群地生活,实行集体育儿,由此可推知,它们是高度群居性动物。故选B。B(2024·上海市闵行区高二下期末)As midnight approaches in Svalbard, a young polar bear climbs onto an iceberg (冰山) and carves himself a temporary bed before falling asleep. This peaceful moment, capturing the essence of Earth's delicacy, was taken by Nima Sarikhani, who won Wildlife Photographer of the Year People's Choice Award, which is decided by public vote.Sarikhani, from the UK, spent three days searching Norway's Svalbard islands in the hope of catching sight of these symbolic Arctic (北极的) animals. He was finally rewarded with the sight of both an older and younger male shortly after his ship changed course. Sarikhani seized the chance to take a photo of the younger bear sleeping on the iceberg—a scene that not only awakens the bond between an animal and its habitat, but also the need to act on global challenges like climate change and habitat loss.These days, the sight of a lone polar bear on melting ice is a familiar symbol of the impact of climate change. But that is for a good reason: global warming is having a particularly rapid effect on the Arctic, which is heating up at a rate three times as high as that of the average around the world. Among those hardest hit are these bears, which are increasingly threatened by the reduction in sea ice cover that they rely on to hunt and raise young.Though his photo is intended to arouse emotion in those who see it, Sarikhani is optimistic that with the right actions, it isn't too late for polar bears. The image was displayed in an exhibition at the Natural History Museum, London, along with the competition's four runners up, until 30 June.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过摄影师Nima Sarikhani (尼玛·萨里哈尼)拍摄的一张睡在融化的冰川上的孤独的北极熊的照片,展现出全球气候变暖对生物的影响,以此激励人们行动起来保护北极熊。4.Sarikhani's journey in Svalbard can be described as ________.A.purposeful B.leisurelyC.profit driven D.research led答案:A解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Sarikhani, from the UK ... these symbolic Arctic (北极的) animals.”可知,Sarikhani的这次旅行是有目的的。故选A。5.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ________.A.polar bears are likely to die outB.the warming of the Arctic just beginsC.sea ice cover is vital for polar bears' survivalD.polar bears are adapting well to climate change答案:C解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Among those hardest hit ... to hunt and raise young.”可推知,海冰覆盖对于北极熊的生存极其重要。故选C。6.According to the last paragraph, what's Sarikhani's hope for the impact of his photo A.To arouse people's sadness for the scene.B.To motivate people to protect polar bears.C.To attract more visitors to the Arctic.D.To boost the popularity of the exhibition.答案:B解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Though his photo ... it isn't too late for polar bears.”可推知,Sarikhani的照片旨在激励人们行动起来保护北极熊。故选B。7.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage A.Svalbard's quietness: Polar bears' comfortable zoneB.Arctic adventure: Search for a dramatic landscapeC.Bearing witness: Polar bears' shelter on melting iceD.Ice and isolation: A faraway natural wonder答案:C解析:标题判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要通过一张睡在融化的冰川上的孤独的北极熊的照片,展现出全球气候变暖对生物的影响,以此激励人们行动起来保护北极熊,C项(见证:北极熊在融化的冰上的避难所)最适合作为文章标题。故选C。Ⅱ 应用文写作日本将核污水排海的事件引起了国际上的广泛关注。假如你是李华,请向某中学生英语报刊环保专栏投稿,表达对此事的看法。内容包括:1.发表看法;2.发出呼吁。注意:1.写作词数应为80个左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。参考词汇: 核污水 nuclear contaminated water [精彩范文]Japan has poured nuclear contaminated water into the sea, which caused widespread international attention.I strongly condemn this action. As human beings, we should protect our sea and pouring nuclear contaminated water into the sea should be forbidden. For one thing, nuclear contaminated water may cause many sea animals to die. For another, people who eat marine products from the polluted sea will be sick.As we all know, the ocean is very important for people. Pouring nuclear contaminated water into the sea is harmful to sea animals and human beings, which should be stopped. 读后续写阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。(2024·湖南省长沙市平高集团六校联考高二下期末)We moved to a small seaside community in New Zealand 10 years ago, because my husband Phil worked as a biologist and he had to do research near the sea. I had seen seals (海豹) around Pilot Bay, which is near here. Sometimes you see them out on the rocks, sunning themselves or playing—but usually in their own territory. They never thought about disturbing their neighbors.It was a dark winter morning in August this year when a seal came. At 5:50 am, I left the house to go fitness training. I went down to the car parked in the driveway and heard a growl (咆哮). I thought our cat, Coco, must have chased a dog under the car. I jumped into the car to avoid getting my ankles bitten, and moved slowly, but then I felt the car hit something. When I got out to have a look, I couldn't see anything and thought it must have moved on. Then when I got back into my seat, I saw a baby seal in the headlights.I thought, “Oh, my God,” but didn't panic—the ocean is just down the driveway and I thought it would find its way back. Off I went to the training center and gave everyone there a laugh when I said, “Sorry I'm late; there was a seal under the car.” I didn't think about it again until I got home. As I walked through the garage (车库), I noticed our baskets had been moved. I wondered if it was the seal, but then I guessed it could not be the seal because I didn't think it could fit through the cat door, which was the only way into the garage. But I was wrong. As I opened the door to the house, I brushed something and heard this flip flip flip flip sound, and thought, “My God, that is the seal.”注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。It was so cute like a lovely soft toy.

Wildlife such as whales and geese learn migration paths by following their parents. Others, including small songbirds, gain the distance and direction of their migration within their genetic code. And some animals use a combination of genetics and culture to guide their migration.Another group of migrators does not quite fit either model, and researchers have only recently started to figure out how they find their way. Take the Cory's shearwater, an oceangoing sea bird that migrates over the Atlantic every year. The young do not migrate with their parents, so culture cannot explain their journeys. And the exact paths vary wildly from individual to individual, making genetics equally unlikely.Cory's shearwaters are long lived, rarely producing young successfully before age nine. This leaves an opening for learning and practice to develop their migration patterns. Researchers call this the “exploration refinement”, and until now it has been hypothetical (假设的) because of difficulties in tracking migratory animals' movements.But a team of researchers has done that by attaching small geolocators to more than 150 of the birds aged four to nine. They found that younger birds traveled longer distances, for longer periods, and had more diverse paths than older birds. “We finally have evidence of the ‘exploration refinement’ for migratory birds,” says Letizia Campioni, who led the study. Younger Cory's shearwaters are able to fly just as fast as the adults—but they do not, suggesting that the young do more exploring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle into a preferred course.Although it may seem less efficient than other strategies, “exploration refinement could be beneficial to birds and other organisms (生物) in a rapidly changing world due to unpredictable man made changes,” says Barbara Frei. “It might be safer to repeat a behavior that was recently successful than to rely on patterns that were perfected long ago but might no longer be safe.”篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对Cory海鸥迁徙的模式的研究。1.What is the first paragraph mainly about A.It describes animals' habitats.B.It talks about migration models.C.It compares different species.D.It introduces a tracking technology.答案:B解析:段落大意题。根据第一段中的“Wildlife such as whales and geese ... to guide their migration.”可知,本段主要讲述动物迁徙的模式。故选B。2.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to A.The opening for learning and practice.B.The unique living habit of Cory's shearwaters.C.The way Cory's shearwaters form their migration patterns.D.The process scientists track Cory's shearwaters' movements.答案:C解析:指代判断题。根据第三段中的“Cory's shearwaters are long lived ... Researchers call this the ‘exploration refinement’”可知,Cory海鸥寿命很长,很少能在9岁之前成功繁殖后代。这为学习和实践发展它们的迁移模式留下了空间,研究人员称这种模式为“探索—优化”。由此可知,画线词this指代的是Cory海鸥迁徙模式形成的方式。故选C。3.What does Letizia's study find about the younger Cory's shearwaters A.They travel as much as adult birds.B.They move in a predictable manner.C.They lower the speed for exploration.D.They look for a course with their parents.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Younger Cory's shearwaters are able to ... and settle into a preferred course.”可知,Letizia (莱蒂齐娅)的研究发现小Cory海鸥为了做更多的探索降低了它们的飞行速度。故选C。4.What can we conclude from the last paragraph A.Man made changes make migration easier.B.Animals make a safer journey via a fixed track.C.Course exploration contributes to birds' adaptability.D.A combination of strategies assures migration success.答案:C解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Although it may seem ... says Barbara Frei.”可推知,路线探索有助于鸟类的适应能力。故选C。B(2024·湖北省恩施州咸丰春晖高级中学高二下月考)For the history of life on Earth, organisms have relied on the light of the sun, moon, and stars to find their way and schedule their lives. While the beginning of electric lighting in the late 19th century may have benefited humans, it has caused problems in the natural world. Among the impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN), light pollution lures migrating birds to cities with shocking consequences, contributes to the alarming decline in insect populations, and convinces sea turtle babies to amble (缓行) away from the water instead of towards it.Now, a new study from the University of Plymouth adds another disappointing finding about how ALAN is affecting the creatures with whom we share the planet: Light pollution from coastal cities can trick corals (珊瑚) into reproducing outside of the optimum times when they would normally reproduce.Using a combination of light pollution data and spawning (产卵) observations, researchers were able to show for the first time that corals exposed to ALAN are spawning one to three days earlier and closer to the full moon compared to those on unlit corals. “That shift may reduce the survival and fertilization success of gametes (配子) and genetic connectivity between nearby lit and unlit coral systems,” they explain.“Corals are among the most biodiverse, economically important, and threatened ecosystems on the planet,” write the authors of the study.“Climate change has led to mass bleaching (褪色) events. Habitat destruction, fisheries, and pollution have reduced corals substantially since the 1950s,” they write, adding, “The complete loss of corals is anticipated over the next 100 years.”If we want to reduce the harm ALAN is causing, we could perhaps look to delay the switching on of night time lighting in coastal regions to ensure the natural dark period between sunset and moonrise when coral reproduction remains undisturbed.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海滨城市照明产生的光会使珊瑚比不受光污染的珊瑚产卵早,从而对其产生不利影响。5.Why is the first paragraph written A.To present the topic of the text.B.To advocate energy conservation.C.To explain a natural phenomenon.D.To provide background information.答案:D解析:推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,本段介绍了始于 19 世纪末的人造光源对自然界产生的不好的影响,结合下文阐述人造光对于珊瑚的危害可推知,第一段的目的是提供背景信息。故选D。6.What does the underlined word “optimum” in Paragraph 2 mean A.Possible. B.Appropriate.C.Flexible. D.Sensitive.答案:B解析:词义猜测题。画线词后的“when they would normally reproduce”为定语从句,修饰the optimum times,由此可知,“the optimum times”指的是“珊瑚正常的繁殖时间”,画线词与appropriate意思相近,意为“合适的,恰当的”。故选B。7.What is the researchers' major concern over corals A.Extinction. B.Losing value.C.Terrible diseases. D.Exposure to moonlight.答案:A解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The complete loss of corals is anticipated over the next 100 years.”可知,研究人员最大的担心是珊瑚的灭绝。故选A。8.What can be a suitable title for the text A.Creatures Rely on Natural Lights to Schedule Their LifeB.Night time Lighting Shortens Natural Dark PeriodC.Coastal Lights Trick Corals into Early SpawningD.Light Pollution Leads to Serious Consequences答案:C解析:标题判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了海滨城市的照明对珊瑚的影响,这些照明产生的光会使珊瑚比不受光污染的珊瑚产卵早,从而对其产生不利影响。C项(海岸灯光诱使珊瑚提早产卵)最适合作为文章标题。故选C。Ⅱ 七选五(2024·河北省保定市部分高中高二下联考)In a world record effort to help save a rare sea creature, Australian scientists have released hundreds of baby seahorses into the wild. The tiny seahorses are endangered, and the scientists hope the new seahorses will help their numbers grow.Seahorses are small, thin fish with a long mouth. They're called “seahorses” because they look a bit like horses. Even though they're fish, seahorses aren't great swimmers. __1__There are over 40 different kinds of seahorses. They mostly live in warm, shallow waters around the world. They are often found in coral reefs, in beds of seagrass, and areas where rivers empty into the sea. __2__ They eat tiny sea creatures and are eaten by bigger sea animals, such as crabs.Many kinds of seahorses are threatened, often by the actions of humans. __3__ They are also sometimes caught by accident when boats are trying to catch other fish.__4__ Males have a special pouch (育儿袋) that allows them to carry over 100 babies at a time. The tiny babies are born alive and can swim right away. When they're born the babies are about the size of a grain of rice.This is the fifth time the scientists have released seahorses into the area, and this is a new record. __5__ The researchers say about 90% of them survived, which is unusually high. The researchers put tiny tags under the skin of many of the seahorses to help track them in the future.A.Seahorse babies are easy to carry.B.Around 380 seahorses were released.C.Sometimes they're caught and sold as pets.D.People should be prohibited from catching seahorses.E.Seahorses form an important part of the ocean's food chain.F.They often use their tails to hold onto something in the water.G.Seahorses are unusual because it's the males who carry the babies.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了为增加海马的数量,澳大利亚科学家第五次向大海投放海马,这次成活率创历史新高。1.答案:F解析:根据上文“Even though they're fish, seahorses aren't great swimmers.”可知,海马不擅长游泳,F项(它们常用尾巴抓住水里的东西来固定身体。)承接上文,F项中的“They”指代上文中的“seahorses”。故选F。2.答案:E解析:根据下文“They eat tiny sea creatures and are eaten by bigger sea animals, such as crabs.”可知,海马是海洋食物链的组成部分。E项(海马是海洋食物链的重要组成部分。)符合语境。故选E。3.答案:C解析:根据上文“Many kinds of seahorses are threatened, often by the actions of humans.”可知,海马受到人类行为的威胁。C项(有时它们会被捕获并作为宠物出售。)承接上文,具体解释人类对海马的威胁。故选C。4.答案:G解析:根据下文“Males have a special pouch (育儿袋)”可知,雄性海马有育儿袋。G项(海马是不寻常的,因为它是雄性携带幼崽。)引出下文。故选G。5.答案:B解析:上文“This is the fifth time ... this is a new record.”提到科学家们向海洋投放海马;下文“The researchers say about 90%of them survived, which is unusually high.”提到海马的存活率。B项(大约380只海马被投放。)承上启下。故选B。 单元写作单元写作——关于海洋勘探的议论文本单元的写作要求围绕海洋勘探写一篇议论文。针对这种观点输出的议论文写作,我们要注意以下几个方面:1.观点要清晰。在写作中要清晰地呈现对海洋勘探一事的观点,并且要重点突出、观点明确。2.用词要准确。在写作中要运用恰当的词汇,这样才能有理有据、表达准确。3.叙述要生动。当描述双方就不同的观点进行激烈交锋时,要渲染出饱满、激昂的辩论气氛,做到让读者感同身受。4.结尾要强调。在写作的结尾,应强调同意或反对某一方观点。5.主旨要正面。在文章的结尾处,除了做好总结以外,也要给读者留下一个积极正面的印象,让读者能从中有所收获。Recently there is a heated debate over the exploration of sea in our class.

In this way, whale family can regroup.”Sperm whales live in nearly all the world’s oceans in groups of about 15 to 20 animals and they practice communal (集体的) childcare. The calves do not have to follow their mother too closely as a sperm whale calf can take milk from any milk producing female in its social group.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于抹香鲸的新发现——小鲸鱼可以通过身体拍打水面找寻自己的妈妈。1.The underlined word“they”in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ________.A.the whales B.the diversC.the photos D.the mothers解析:指代判断题。根据第一段内容以及第二段中的“Taken by a British diver who was following the sperm whale (抹香鲸) calf”可知,英国潜水员拍的这些照片显示了失去母亲踪迹的小鲸鱼在亚速尔群岛附近再次找到母亲的那一刻,由此可知,they指代的是上文提到的照片。故选C。2.According to Justin Hart, the young sperm whale ________.A.found its family with his helpB.suffered a lot in the cold watersC.lost contact with its family for daysD.slammed as a means of communication解析:细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知,抹香鲸幼崽通过拍击水面来与成年抹香鲸交流。故选D。3.What do we know about sperm whales A.The young are independent.B.They are highly social animals.C.They tend to live in warm sea waters.D.Females take turns to care for babies.解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Sperm whales live in ... practice communal (集体的) childcare.”可知,抹香鲸会成群地生活,实行集体育儿,由此可推知,它们是高度群居性动物。故选B。B(2024·上海市闵行区高二下期末)As midnight approaches in Svalbard, a young polar bear climbs onto an iceberg (冰山) and carves himself a temporary bed before falling asleep. This peaceful moment, capturing the essence of Earth’s delicacy, was taken by Nima Sarikhani, who won Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award, which is decided by public vote.Sarikhani, from the UK, spent three days searching Norway’s Svalbard islands in the hope of catching sight of these symbolic Arctic (北极的) animals. He was finally rewarded with the sight of both an older and younger male shortly after his ship changed course. Sarikhani seized the chance to take a photo of the younger bear sleeping on the iceberg—a scene that not only awakens the bond between an animal and its habitat, but also the need to act on global challenges like climate change and habitat loss.These days, the sight of a lone polar bear on melting ice is a familiar symbol of the impact of climate change. But that is for a good reason: global warming is having a particularly rapid effect on the Arctic, which is heating up at a rate three times as high as that of the average around the world. Among those hardest hit are these bears, which are increasingly threatened by the reduction in sea ice cover that they rely on to hunt and raise young.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过摄影师Nima Sarikhani (尼玛·萨里哈尼)拍摄的一张睡在融化的冰川上的孤独的北极熊的照片,展现出全球气候变暖对生物的影响,以此激励人们行动起来保护北极熊。Though his photo is intended to arouse emotion in those who see it, Sarikhani is optimistic that with the right actions, it isn’t too late for polar bears. The image was displayed in an exhibition at the Natural History Museum, London, along with the competition’s four runners up, until 30 June.4.Sarikhani's journey in Svalbard can be described as ________.A.purposeful B.leisurelyC.profit driven D.research led解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Sarikhani, from the UK ... these symbolic Arctic (北极的) animals.”可知,Sarikhani的这次旅行是有目的的。故选A。5.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ________.A.polar bears are likely to die outB.the warming of the Arctic just beginsC.sea ice cover is vital for polar bears' survivalD.polar bears are adapting well to climate change解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Among those hardest hit ... to hunt and raise young.”可推知,海冰覆盖对于北极熊的生存极其重要。故选C。6.According to the last paragraph, what's Sarikhani's hope for the impact of his photo A.To arouse people's sadness for the scene.B.To motivate people to protect polar bears.C.To attract more visitors to the Arctic.D.To boost the popularity of the exhibition.解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Though his photo ... it isn't too late for polar bears.”可推知,Sarikhani的照片旨在激励人们行动起来保护北极熊。故选B。7.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage A.Svalbard's quietness: Polar bears' comfortable zoneB.Arctic adventure: Search for a dramatic landscapeC.Bearing witness: Polar bears' shelter on melting iceD.Ice and isolation: A faraway natural wonder解析:标题判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要通过一张睡在融化的冰川上的孤独的北极熊的照片,展现出全球气候变暖对生物的影响,以此激励人们行动起来保护北极熊,C项(见证:北极熊在融化的冰上的避难所)最适合作为文章标题。故选C。Ⅱ 应用文写作日本将核污水排海的事件引起了国际上的广泛关注。假如你是李华,请向某中学生英语报刊环保专栏投稿,表达对此事的看法。内容包括:1.发表看法;2.发出呼吁。注意:1.写作词数应为80个左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。参考词汇: 核污水 nuclear contaminated water﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍[精彩范文]Japan has poured nuclear contaminated water into the sea, which caused widespread international attention.I strongly condemn this action.

Pouring nuclear contaminated water into the sea is harmful to sea animals and human beings, which should be stopped.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。(2024·湖南省长沙市平高集团六校联考高二下期末)We moved to a small seaside community in New Zealand 10 years ago, because my husband Phil worked as a biologist and he had to do research near the sea. I had seen seals (海豹) around Pilot Bay, which is near here. Sometimes you see them out on the rocks, sunning themselves or playing—but usually in their own territory. They never thought about disturbing their neighbors.读后续写It was a dark winter morning in August this year when a seal came. At 5:50 am, I left the house to go fitness training. I went down to the car parked in the driveway and heard a growl (咆哮). I thought our cat, Coco, must have chased a dog under the car. I jumped into the car to avoid getting my ankles bitten, and moved slowly, but then I felt the car hit something. When I got out to have a look, I couldn’t see anything and thought it must have moved on. Then when I got back into my seat, I saw a baby seal in the headlights.I thought, “Oh, my God,” but didn’t panic—the ocean is just down the driveway and I thought it would find its way back. Off I went to the training center and gave everyone there a laugh when I said, “Sorry I’m late; there was a seal under the car.” I didn’t think about it again until I got home. As I walked through the garage (车库), I noticed our baskets had been moved. I wondered if it was the seal, but then I guessed it could not be the seal because I didn’t think it could fit through the cat door, which was the only way into the garage. But I was wrong. As I opened the door to the house, I brushed something and heard this flip flip flip flip sound, and thought, “My God, that is the seal.”It was so cute like a lovely soft toy.﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍We called Animal Protection Station, and a worker came over.﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。1.Read for characters (人物)I, Phil (husband), ____________, a worker from the Animal Protection Station2.Read for conflict/problems (冲突/问题)____________came to my car in the morning and into my garage later.a baby seal 5R解读故事A baby seal3.Read for plot (情节)4.Read for emotional changes (情感变化)I was ______to see a baby seal in the headlights and thought it would go back to the sea but I was ___________to find it in the garage later.5.Read for theme (主题)We should raise _______________protecting animals.panicsurprisedthe awareness ofStep 1:先写最后一句(主题句)__________________________________________________________________________________________Step 2:再写衔接句(第一段的最后一句)_________________________________________________________________For us, it was pretty good to see so many people care for our lovely wild neighbors: seals. 4步确定框架On Phil’s arriving home, we immediately looked for the contact information.Step 3:根据所给段首语句写角色的情感第一段:It had watery eyes and looked at me like a child, which made me ____________want to keep it secretly.第二段:It was _____to see the little lovely wild creature wrapped up in a net to be taken away, but ____________lifted from my inner heart when the worker said it would be released into the sea after being checked.desperatelya great reliefsadStep 4:补全续写每段的中间内容第一段:It had watery eyes and looked at me like a child, which made me desperately want to keep it secretly.

It had watery eyes and looked at me like a child, which made me desperately want to keep it secretly. But I knew it was a wild animal and it should be back to its home, because wild animals belong to the wild. With a deep sigh, I phoned Phil, who was on his way home from a work trip. He told me that wild animals smelled bad and I probably never knew how sharp their teeth were. On Phil’s arriving home, we immediately looked for the contact information.We called Animal Protection Station, and a worker came over. It was sad to see the little lovely wild creature wrapped up in a net to be taken away, but a great relief lifted from my inner heart when the worker said it would be released into the sea after being checked.

Wildlife such as whales and geese learn migration paths by following their parents. Others, including small songbirds, gain the distance and direction of their migration within their genetic code. And some animals use a combination of genetics and culture to guide their migration.Another group of migrators does not quite fit either model, and researchers have only recently started to figure out how they find their way. Take the Cory’s shearwater, an oceangoing sea bird that migrates over the Atlantic every year. The young do not migrate with their parents, so culture cannot explain their journeys. And the exact paths vary wildly from individual to individual, making genetics equally unlikely.Cory’s shearwaters are long lived, rarely producing young successfully before age nine. This leaves an opening for learning and practice to develop their migration patterns. Researchers call this the “exploration refinement”, and until now it has been hypothetical (假设的) because of difficulties in tracking migratory animals’ movements.But a team of researchers has done that by attaching small geolocators to more than 150 of the birds aged four to nine. They found that younger birds traveled longer distances, for longer periods, and had more diverse paths than older birds. “We finally have evidence of the ‘exploration refinement’ for migratory birds,” says Letizia Campioni, who led the study. Younger Cory's shearwaters are able to fly just as fast as the adults—but they do not, suggesting that the young do more exploring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle into a preferred course.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对Cory海鸥迁徙的模式的研究。Although it may seem less efficient than other strategies, “exploration refinement could be beneficial to birds and other organisms (生物) in a rapidly changing world due to unpredictable man made changes,” says Barbara Frei. “It might be safer to repeat a behavior that was recently successful than to rely on patterns that were perfected long ago but might no longer be safe.”1.What is the first paragraph mainly about A.It describes animals' habitats.B.It talks about migration models.C.It compares different species.D.It introduces a tracking technology.解析:段落大意题。根据第一段中的“Wildlife such as whales and geese ... to guide their migration.”可知,本段主要讲述动物迁徙的模式。故选B。2.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to A.The opening for learning and practice.B.The unique living habit of Cory's shearwaters.C.The way Cory's shearwaters form their migration patterns.D.The process scientists track Cory‘s shearwaters’ movements.解析:指代判断题。根据第三段中的“Cory's shearwaters are long lived ... Researchers call this the ‘exploration refinement’”可知,Cory海鸥寿命很长,很少能在9岁之前成功繁殖后代。这为学习和实践发展它们的迁移模式留下了空间,研究人员称这种模式为“探索—优化”。由此可知,画线词this指代的是Cory海鸥迁徙模式形成的方式。故选C。3.What does Letizia's study find about the younger Cory's shearwaters A.They travel as much as adult birds.B.They move in a predictable manner.C.They lower the speed for exploration.D.They look for a course with their parents.解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Younger Cory's shearwaters are able to ... and settle into a preferred course.”可知,Letizia (莱蒂齐娅)的研究发现小Cory海鸥为了做更多的探索降低了它们的飞行速度。故选C。4.What can we conclude from the last paragraph A.Man made changes make migration easier.B.Animals make a safer journey via a fixed track.C.Course exploration contributes to birds' adaptability.D.A combination of strategies assures migration success.解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Although it may seem ... says Barbara Frei.”可推知,路线探索有助于鸟类的适应能力。故选C。B(2024·湖北省恩施州咸丰春晖高级中学高二下月考)For the history of life on Earth, organisms have relied on the light of the sun, moon, and stars to find their way and schedule their lives. While the beginning of electric lighting in the late 19th century may have benefited humans, it has caused problems in the natural world. Among the impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN), light pollution lures migrating birds to cities with shocking consequences, contributes to the alarming decline in insect populations, and convinces sea turtle babies to amble (缓行) away from the water instead of towards it.Now, a new study from the University of Plymouth adds another disappointing finding about how ALAN is affecting the creatures with whom we share the planet: Light pollution from coastal cities can trick corals (珊瑚) into reproducing outside of the optimum times when they would normally reproduce.Using a combination of light pollution data and spawning (产卵) observations, researchers were able to show for the first time that corals exposed to ALAN are spawning one to three days earlier and closer to the full moon compared to those on unlit corals. “That shift may reduce the survival and fertilization success of gametes (配子) and genetic connectivity between nearby lit and unlit coral systems,” they explain.“Corals are among the most biodiverse, economically important, and threatened ecosystems on the planet,” write the authors of the study.“Climate change has led to mass bleaching (褪色) events. Habitat destruction, fisheries, and pollution have reduced corals substantially since the 1950s,” they write, adding, “The complete loss of corals is anticipated over the next 100 years.”If we want to reduce the harm ALAN is causing, we could perhaps look to delay the switching on of night time lighting in coastal regions to ensure the natural dark period between sunset and moonrise when coral reproduction remains undisturbed.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海滨城市照明产生的光会使珊瑚比不受光污染的珊瑚产卵早,从而对其产生不利影响。5.Why is the first paragraph written A.To present the topic of the text.B.To advocate energy conservation.C.To explain a natural phenomenon.D.To provide background information.解析:推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,本段介绍了始于 19 世纪末的人造光源对自然界产生的不好的影响,结合下文阐述人造光对于珊瑚的危害可推知,第一段的目的是提供背景信息。故选D。6.What does the underlined word “optimum” in Paragraph 2 mean A.Possible. B.Appropriate.C.Flexible. D.Sensitive.解析:词义猜测题。画线词后的“when they would normally reproduce”为定语从句,修饰the optimum times,由此可知,“the optimum times”指的是“珊瑚正常的繁殖时间”,画线词与appropriate意思相近,意为“合适的,恰当的”。故选B。7.What is the researchers' major concern over corals A.Extinction. B.Losing value.C.Terrible diseases. D.Exposure to moonlight.解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The complete loss of corals is anticipated over the next 100 years.”可知,研究人员最大的担心是珊瑚的灭绝。故选A。8.What can be a suitable title for the text A.Creatures Rely on Natural Lights to Schedule Their LifeB.Night time Lighting Shortens Natural Dark PeriodC.Coastal Lights Trick Corals into Early SpawningD.Light Pollution Leads to Serious Consequences解析:标题判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了海滨城市的照明对珊瑚的影响,这些照明产生的光会使珊瑚比不受光污染的珊瑚产卵早,从而对其产生不利影响。C项(海岸灯光诱使珊瑚提早产卵)最适合作为文章标题。故选C。Ⅱ 七选五(2024·河北省保定市部分高中高二下联考)In a world record effort to help save a rare sea creature, Australian scientists have released hundreds of baby seahorses into the wild. The tiny seahorses are endangered, and the scientists hope the new seahorses will help their numbers grow.Seahorses are small, thin fish with a long mouth. They're called “seahorses” because they look a bit like horses. Even though they're fish, seahorses aren't great swimmers. __1__There are over 40 different kinds of seahorses. They mostly live in warm, shallow waters around the world. They are often found in coral reefs, in beds of seagrass, and areas where rivers empty into the sea. __2__ They eat tiny sea creatures and are eaten by bigger sea animals, such as crabs.Many kinds of seahorses are threatened, often by the actions of humans. __3__ They are also sometimes caught by accident when boats are trying to catch other fish.__4__ Males have a special pouch (育儿袋) that allows them to carry over 100 babies at a time.
