1.especially 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。此處是副詞修飾when引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句,故答案為especially。
2.travelling/traveling 考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。句意:很多人沖出家門或公司去旅游景點(diǎn)。此處是動(dòng)名詞作定語,修飾spots,故答案為travelling/traveling。
3.a(chǎn)nd 考查連詞。固定結(jié)構(gòu):and so on等等。故答案為and。
4.is 考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)和主謂一致。此處是there be句型,句子主語是another way of travelling,故謂語動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用單數(shù)第三人稱形式,并且介紹的是一般情況,故用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),故答案為is。
5.the 考查冠詞。此處是形容詞最高級(jí),前面用定冠詞the,故答案為the。
6.to experience 考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。句意:有些人可能會(huì)參加為期一天的“最貧困之旅”,有些人甚至花錢住在非常貧困的社區(qū),體驗(yàn)世界上最低的生活水平。此處是動(dòng)詞不定式作目的狀語,故答案為to experience。
7.countries 考查名詞。第三世界的國家不止一個(gè),所以名詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式,故答案為countries。
8.more 考查副詞的比較級(jí)。句意:這些旅行可能會(huì)喚醒人們更多地關(guān)注長期存在的貧困和戰(zhàn)爭的影響。結(jié)合句意可知,句子用比較級(jí),故答案為more。
9.be donated 考查動(dòng)詞的語態(tài)。句意:旅游所得的錢可以捐贈(zèng)給生活在那里的人們。此處money和donate之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,故答案為be donated。
10.who/that 考查定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。此處people是先行詞,指人,引導(dǎo)詞在后面的定語從句中作主語,故答案為who/that。
Ⅳ.短文改錯(cuò)

難項(xiàng)分析:
第一處:去掉rather后的to 考查固定用法。would rather do sth.為固定用法,意為“寧愿做某事”,故去掉to。
第五處:simple→simply 考查副詞。應(yīng)用副詞修飾browsing這一動(dòng)詞。
第七處:refused前加being 考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。此處作介詞of的賓語,應(yīng)用動(dòng)名詞;又因?yàn)閞efuse與其邏輯主語him之間為動(dòng)賓關(guān)系,故用動(dòng)名詞的被動(dòng)式。

Ⅱ.閱讀理解

(2020·深圳高級(jí)中學(xué)(集團(tuán))高三第一學(xué)期第一次測試)We love the sea. We swim into it, live near it, build beside it, and even imagine about living under the sea. But we're terrified of it, too. For much of our history, we have turned to “hard engineering” to control the marine (海洋) environment and manage its influence on us. We build dams, sea walls and channels. But all these efforts seem to fail. The sea has a habit of taking back its own. And we suffer.
Johnston, a marine ecologist, is advocating for “blue engineering”—the marine version of the “green engineering” movement on land that has seen nations like Singapore building the walls and roofs of the concrete jungle with plant life.
We are expanding further into the marine environment. This practice does harm to marine ecosystems. We're loving the sea to death, but we've not been thinking about design of structures (建筑物) with respect to ecology. Some coastal structures create shade, which reduces the growth of seaweed. Bright lights at night contuse species such as turtles. That's why blue engineering comes in.
Throughout the world people are starting to turn things around. Researchers with the World Harbour Project are creating tiles (瓦片) similar to the natural structures found on rocky shores with 3D printing technology. These make more attractive homes for marine creatures. Researchers are also actively seeding these tiles with local seaweeds and creatures such as the Sydney rock oyster, which is particularly good at improving water quality. Twelve harbours around the world are taking part in this marine tile experiment, each working with their own unique marine life.
It's a far cry from, the days when huge number, of old tyres were thrown, into the sea to build “artificial reef (礁石)”. Those clumsy early attempts are now costing millions to remove, showing just how far we have yet to go in understanding how best to co-habit with the underwater world.
篇章導(dǎo)讀:本文是一篇說明文。主要講了引進(jìn)藍(lán)色海洋工程的原因以及如何實(shí)施藍(lán)色海洋工程。
1.What do we know about “hard engineering”?
A.It has improved sea environment.
B.It can control the influence of sea.
C.It has failed to achieve its purpose.
D.It makes living under sea impossible.
答案:C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“We build dams, sea walls and channels. But all these efforts seem to fail. The sea has a habit of taking back its own. And we suffer.”可知,“hard engineering”意味著所有的努力似乎沒有實(shí)現(xiàn),因此未能達(dá)到它的目的。故選C。
2.Para. 3 is mainly about the ________ to introduce the project of “blue engineering”.
A.drawbacks B.reasons
C.procedures D.measures
答案:B 推理判斷題。第三段中的“This practice does harm to marine ecosystems.”與“That's why blue engineering comes in.”可知,本段主要講了引進(jìn)“藍(lán)色工程”的原因。故選B。
3.Which of the following is a form of “blue engineering”?
A.Constructing buildings with plant life.
B.Expanding into marine environments.
C.Creating an artificial reef with old tyres.
D.Building structures benefiting sea creatures.
答案:D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Researchers with the World Harbour Project are creating tiles (瓦片) similar to the natural structures found on rocky shores with 3D printing technology.”可知,建造對(duì)海洋生物有益的結(jié)構(gòu)是“藍(lán)色工程”的一種結(jié)構(gòu)。故選D。
4.What is the writer's feeling towards the present situation of marine environment?
A.Relieved. B.Doubtful.
C.Satisfied. D.Disappointed.
答案:A 推理判斷題。由最后一段可推知作者對(duì)海洋環(huán)境的現(xiàn)狀持放心態(tài)度。relieved “放心”;doubtful “不確定的”;satisfied “滿意的”;disappointed “失望的”。故選A。

(2019·北京高考)By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world's oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms (海洋微生物) called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean's appearance.
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean's warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT's Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3℃, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing,” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”
And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.
Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It'll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”
篇章導(dǎo)讀:本文是一篇說明文。調(diào)查表明,由于氣候變暖,全球的海洋將會(huì)變得更藍(lán)、更綠。
5.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?
A.The various patterns at the ocean surface.
B.The cause of the changes in ocean colour.
C.The way light reflects off marine organisms.
D.The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.
答案:B 段落大意題。文章第一段點(diǎn)題:由于氣候變暖,全球的海洋將會(huì)變得更藍(lán)、更綠。第二段介紹由于光從生物體反射的方式,這些浮游植物在海洋表面形成了五顏六色的圖案;氣候變化又使得這些浮游植物在某些區(qū)域加速生長而在其他地方有所減少,導(dǎo)致海洋表面的顏色變化。由此可知前兩段講了海洋顏色變化的原因,故B項(xiàng)正確。
6.What does the underlined word“vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Sensitive. B.Beneficial.
C.Significant. D.Unnoticeable.
答案:A 詞義猜測題。畫線詞后一句提到,氣候變暖改變了海洋的主要特點(diǎn)并能影響浮游植物的生長,因?yàn)樗鼈円L不僅僅需要陽光和二氧化碳,也需要營養(yǎng)。由此可知,這些浮游植物對(duì)海洋變暖很敏感,故A項(xiàng)正確。
7.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.
B.Dutkiewicz's model aims to project phytoplankton changes.
C.Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.
D.Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.
答案:D 推理判斷題。文章倒數(shù)第二段提到這些浮游植物是海洋食物鏈的基礎(chǔ),如果某些種類的浮游植物消失了,會(huì)影響能存活的魚的類型,從而影響海洋食物鏈,并結(jié)合文章第四段倒數(shù)第二句可知浮游植物多的區(qū)域海水會(huì)變得更綠,故D項(xiàng)正確。
8.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.
B.To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.
C.To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.
D.To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.
答案:C 主旨大意題。文章主要論述了隨著氣候變暖,全球的海洋將會(huì)變得更藍(lán)、更綠,即氣候變化對(duì)海洋有影響,故C項(xiàng)正確。
Ⅲ.短文改錯(cuò)
(2019·甘肅省靜寧一中高三一模)There is too many people and too many pollution on the earth. If we moved to the moon one day, how would life be like there?
In my opinion, life would be much more comfort on the moon than on the earth. There wouldn't be pollution or traffic jam. We could go wherever we like in one minute by the spaceship, which would be much fast than a train or an airplane. We would eat whatever you like without being concerned unhealthy ingredients. This is a place where I am always dreaming about.
答案:
There too many people and too pollution on the earth. If we moved to the moon one day, would life be like there?
In my opinion, life would be much more on the moon than on the earth. There wouldn't be pollution or traffic . We could go wherever we like in one minute by spaceship, which would be much than a train or an airplane. We would eat whatever like without being concerned unhealthy ingredients. This is a place ∕ I am always dreaming about.
1.is→are 考查主謂一致。句意:地球上有太多的人和過多的污染。本句為there be句型,主語為由and連接的名詞短語,謂語動(dòng)詞應(yīng)和最臨近的主語在數(shù)上保持一致,故用are。
2.many→much 考查形容詞。句意:地球上有太多的人和過多的污染。pollution為不可數(shù)名詞,故用much修飾。
3.how→what 考查特殊疑問詞。句意:如果有一天我們移民到月球的話,生活會(huì)怎么樣呢?分析句子成分可知,本句中,like缺少賓語,故用特殊疑問詞what。
4.comfort→comfortable 考查形容詞。句意:與地球相比,月球上的生活會(huì)更舒適。分析句子可知,be動(dòng)詞后接形容詞,故用comfortable。
5.jam→jams 考查名詞。句意:月球上不會(huì)有污染或交通堵塞。traffic jam “交通堵塞”為可數(shù)名詞,故用復(fù)數(shù)形式j(luò)ams,表示泛指。
6.去掉the 考查冠詞。句意:我們可以乘坐飛船去想去的地方,乘坐飛船比坐火車或者飛機(jī)要快得多。by spaceship “乘坐飛船”,故去掉the。
7.fast→faster 考查形容詞的比較級(jí)。本句為比較級(jí)結(jié)構(gòu),故用比較級(jí)形式faster。
8.you→we 考查人稱代詞。句意:我們可以吃想吃的東西,而不用擔(dān)心不健康的原材料。分析句子可知,本句主語為we,故用第一人稱we。
9.concerned后加about 考查介詞。此處為短語be concerned about “為……擔(dān)憂”,故加介詞about。
10.where→which/that或去掉where 考查定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。句意:這是一個(gè)我一直夢想著要去的地方。分析句子可知,從句中,about缺少賓語,故用關(guān)系代詞which/that;由于關(guān)系代詞作賓語,故也可以省略。
