An extremely rare manuscript(手稿) signed by English naturalist Charles Darwin is expected t fetch up t $790,000 at a Stheby’s auctin next mnth.The dcument cntains a passage frm the famus 1859 wrk On the Origin f Species,in which Darwin put frth his thery f evlutin.The dcument was nce thught t be a deserted page frm an earlier manuscript f the wrk.But experts nw understand it was written in 1865 and sent t the editr f the Autgraphic Mirrr wh had requested a signed writing sample frm Darwin.
“While sme f Darwin’s ntes and manuscript pages have survived ver the last hundred r mre years,he was knwn t keep revising his publicatins,ften thrwing away pages frm wrking drafts as waste paper,making them extremely rare,” Stheby’s said in a statement.On the Origin f Species was vted the mst influential academic bk f all time in a public pll held during Academic Bk Week in 2015.The bk ffers Darwin’s revlutinary idea that species evlve ver generatins in the prcess f natural selectin.
Darwin backed__up his thery with evidence cllected during his 1831—1836 vyage n the Beagle,during which he bserved and cllected specimens (標(biāo)本) frm a number f species.On the Galapags Islands ff the cast f Ecuadr,Darwin nted that the finches(鳴雀)n the island were similar t finches n the mainland;hwever,the availability f different fds in each area had led t differences in beak shapes.
The manuscript will be placed n display at Stheby’s in New Yrk between Nv.30 and Dec 8,and nline bids will be accepted between Nw.25 and auctin huse estimates that the dcument will fetch between $600,000 and $790,000.The auctin,which is titled Age f Wnder,will als include a first editin f On the Origin f Species and a cpy f scientific paper by Darwin and anther naturalist.【語篇解讀】 本文是新聞報道。文章介紹了一份由英國博物學(xué)家查爾斯·達(dá)爾文簽名的極其罕見的手稿預(yù)計(jì)將在下個月的蘇富比拍賣會上拍出790 000美元的價格。
1.What d we knw abut the manuscript?
A.It’s a page f On the Origin f ’s a draft f Darwin’s scientific ’s a signed writing sample t an ’s waste paper frm Darwin’s study.解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“But experts nw understand it was signed writing sample frm Darwin.”可知,這份手稿是一份給編輯的簽名寫作樣本。
2.What makes Darwin’s On the Origin f Species the mst influential academic bk?
A.His methds f adventure n the rare thery f evlutin.解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段可知,達(dá)爾文的進(jìn)化論使達(dá)爾文的《物種起源》成為最有影響力的學(xué)術(shù)著作。
3.What des the underlined phrase “backed up” mean in Paragraph 5?
A.Supprted. D.Created.解析 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第五段中的“Darwin backed up his thery with evidence a number f species.”可知,達(dá)爾文觀察收集物種標(biāo)本來支持自己的理論。畫線詞是supprt的意思。
4.What is the purpse f the auctin?
A.T put the manuscript n display Darwin’s vte the best academic release a new discvery.解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“An extremely rare manuscript (手稿) signed by English naturalist Charles Darwin is expected t fetch up t $790,000 at a Stheby’s auctin next mnth.”可知,拍賣的目的是將手稿出售。
Cral reefs are a necessary part f sea life and supprt it by prviding shelter and habitat t varius rganisms.They als supply and recycle nutrients as well as enable a fish ppulatin t bm,alng with ther species,fr a healthy and diverse ecsystem.Hwever,the rise in average water temperature due t climate change has resulted in mre frequent and extended “cral bleaching(珊瑚白化)”events that damage their health,causing fish and ther sea species t abandn them.
In rder t repair this delicate ecsystem,scientists frm the UK and Australia cnducted a study that invlved using speakers underwater near damaged cral reefs t make them sund healthy and attract fish,ptentially starting the natural recvery prcess f cral reefs and their dependent life frms.
The lcatin f this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the Cral Sea,fund alngside the east cast f Queensland,Australia,which is famus fr having the largest cral reef system in the wrld that’s 2,300 kilmetres lng and cvers an area f nearly 344,400 square kilmetres.By using ludspeakers t reprduce such sunds,areas f dead cral reefs were fund t attract twice as many fish,cmpared t places where n sunds were played.These returning fish culd help in the recvery f this ecsystem by giving thse areas f cral a chance f new life.
“Fish are imprtant fr cral reefs t functin as healthy ecsystems. Increasing fish ppulatins in this way culd help t start the natural recvery prcess,reducing the damage we’re seeing n many cral reefs arund the wrld.Of curse,attracting fish t a dead cral reef wn’t bring it back t life autmatically,but the recvery prcess relies n fish that clean the cral reef t make space fr cral t regrw,”said Mark Meekan.【語篇解讀】 本文是說明文。珊瑚礁是海洋生物的必要組成部分。然而,氣候變化造成了珊瑚白化??茖W(xué)家們進(jìn)行了研究,在水下使用揚(yáng)聲器來吸引魚群,以幫助恢復(fù)受損的珊瑚礁。
5.What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A.The imprtance f cral influence f climate perfect place fr sea ecsystem’s diversity and cmplexity.解析 段落大意題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知,珊瑚礁是海洋生物的必要組成部分,不但為各種海洋生物提供住所和棲息地,還提供和回收利用營養(yǎng)物質(zhì),使魚類種群與其他物種一起繁榮發(fā)展,形成一個健康和多樣化的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)。由此可推知,本段主要講述了珊瑚礁的重要性。
6.What’s the purpse f using speakers underwater?
A.T make fish mre test damaged cral help recver the help speed the grwth f cral reefs.解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知,為了修復(fù)珊瑚礁這一脆弱的生態(tài)系統(tǒng),科學(xué)家們在水下使用了揚(yáng)聲器。
7.Which f the fllwing is TRUE abut the experiment?
A.It wasn’t carried ut in the largest cral reef drew much public has brught dead cral reefs back t ludspeakers were helpful in attracting fish.解析 正誤判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的“By using n sunds were played.”可知,與沒有播放聲音的地方相比,在該實(shí)驗(yàn)中用揚(yáng)聲器產(chǎn)生的聲音為死去的珊瑚礁吸引了兩倍多的魚。
8.What is Mark Meekan’s attitude twards the use f speakers?
A.Dubtful. D.Indifferent.解析 觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段Mark Meekan說的話可知,揚(yáng)聲器可以吸引魚群,魚群雖然不會使死珊瑚礁自動復(fù)活,但其恢復(fù)過程依賴魚來清潔珊瑚礁,以給珊瑚重新生長的空間,由此可推知,Mark Meekan對使用揚(yáng)聲器持肯定的態(tài)度。
(2024·山東濰坊一中模擬預(yù)測)This 3-mile stretch f sand and tide pls beneath a castle f 80-ft cliffs is a Califrnia turism pster if there ever was ne.Nthing disturbs the perfect,sunny view,except—nce yu’re aware f them—micrplastic particles (顆粒).But yu have t lk clse—n-yur-h(huán)ands-and-knees clse—t see ne.And nce yu d,yu see anther and anther—s many that yu may nt think f this,r any beach,the same way again.These tiny preprductin plastic balls that manufacturers (生產(chǎn)商) melt dwn t frm everything have been escaping factries,cntainer ships,trains,trucks—and public ntice—fr decades.
The 2-t 3-millimeter,multiclred balls are a subset (子集) f micrplastic-plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in size.Micrplastic particles accumulate where water takes them,and they’ve been fund n shrelines f every cntinent.
Dr McReynlds is an envirnmental scientist wh’s nw jined a glbal mvement studying their trail int the envirnment.Establishing a baseline cunt f the presence f micrplastic particles—and,mre bradly,any micrplastics—is the fcus f Dr McReynlds’ scientific study here.Charting the cunt,nting tide,current,and weather cnditins will shw if amunts are increasing,and perhaps at what rate and why.That knwledge,he says,can infrm slutins t plastic pllutin such as regulatin f their use.

Will his wrk help save the wrld? Dr McReynlds waves a finger at that idea,“I wn’t ever use that wrd—I wn’t save the wrld frm this pllutin prblem.Preserve it,yes.We want t take care f it.”【語篇解讀】 本文是說明文。文章主要介紹了一位環(huán)境科學(xué)家研究微塑料顆粒在海灘上造成塑料污染問題的情況,希望能解決這個問題,保護(hù)地球。
9.What d we knw abut micrplastic particles frm paragraph 1?
A.They are t small t be have been ignred fr are prducts f plastic can be made int almst everything.解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“These tiny preprductin plastic balls that manufacturers (生產(chǎn)商) melt public ntice—fr decades.”可推知,人們長期以來一直忽視這種微塑料顆粒的存在。
10.What des Dr McReynlds fcus n in his study?
A.Classifying plastic particles int slutins t plastic the tides and currents f a data cllectin fr micrplastics.解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句“Establishing a baseline cunt f the presence f micrplastic the fcus f Dr McReynlds’ scientific study here.”可知,在研究中,他主要是建立一個微塑料顆粒存在的基線計(jì)數(shù),這是他的研究重點(diǎn)。
11.What des a seagull’s pecking at the picture prve?
A.The interesting teachable spread f pisnus harmful effect f micrplastic beauty f the pht f micrplastic particles.解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中“One recent mrning he tld sme beach plastic-cated pht f micrplastic particles and hungrily pecked (啄食) at it.”可知,塑料微粒會吸收有毒化學(xué)物質(zhì),被魚或鳥吃掉,然后進(jìn)入食物鏈。當(dāng)他正在講解這種微塑料的危害的時候,正好一只海鷗飛向照片,并且用嘴啄起來,這說明了這種微塑料的危害性。
12.What des Dr McReynlds expect f his wrk?
A.T save the prtect the educate the prvide slutins.解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Will his wrk help save the wrld? want t take care f it.’”可知,這位科學(xué)家希望能夠保護(hù)地球。
