Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
The amount of fish caught worldwide is much larger than has been reported. And that could mean serious problems for the environment and nations that depend on fisheries (漁業(yè)). A new estimate shows that it is 32 million tons higher than countries have been reporting yearly.
The same report notes that the world's fish catch has been declining since the late 1990s. Countries report their industrial catches to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. But they do not report other kinds of fishing. This includes the catches of small commercial fisheries, which are called artisanal fisheries, and fishing for recreation and individual food.
Daniel Pauly at the University of British Columbia in Canada led the study. He noted that a huge amount of some catches is thrown away. “For example, shrimp trawlers (拖網(wǎng)漁船) keep only the shrimp and the fish that they catch — often eight to ten times as much as the shrimp — gets thrown away.”
Pauly told VOA that better estimates of the actual global catch will help ensure there will be enough fish in the future. “But our figures suggest that since 1996 a rapid decrease is happening. And if you project this forward you end up in a few decades having much less catch, literally no catch. So that is potentially dangerous.”
Researchers also found ways the world's fisheries are changing. They found that fishing fleets of larger nations are catching fish in the waters of developing countries more and more.
Pauly said he was surprised by the amount of fishing done by foreign fleets in competition with local fishers. “In West Africa, the figure that was most astonishing is the enormous role of foreign fishing — of European and Asian vessels fishing legally or illegally and competing against local fishermen. On the other hand for the US, Australia and some developing countries, such as the Bahamas, what was apparent is the enormous contribution of recreational fisheries, which also never get reported to the FAO.”
Researchers say inaccurate data also harms the development and supervision (監(jiān)管) of effective policy and management measures.
語篇解讀:世界范圍內(nèi)捕魚的數(shù)量比報告中的數(shù)量要多很多,而這些虛假報告對經(jīng)濟(jì)和環(huán)境都造成了不好的影響。
1.What's the main idea of the passage?
A.False amount of fish caught worldwide harms economy environment.
B.The world's fish catch has been declining.
C.The global fishing competition is serious.
D.The management of global fishing needs improving.
解析:選A 主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段第一、二句“The amount of fish caught worldwide is much larger than has been reported. And that could mean serious problems for the environment and nations that depend on fisheries(漁業(yè)).”可知,本文主要闡述了關(guān)于捕魚數(shù)量的虛假報告對環(huán)境造成了不好的影響。故選A項。
2.What does the underlined word “it” (in Para.1) refer to?
A.The amount of foreign fishing.
B.The amount of local fishing.
C.The amount of recreational fishing.
D.The amount of all fish caught worldwide.
解析:選D 代詞指代題。it為代詞,指代前文,又根據(jù)32 million這個數(shù)字可推斷出it指代第一句中的“The amount of fish caught worldwide”,由此可知選D項。
3.Which kind of fishing has been reported to the FAO?
A.Industrial fish catches.
B.Commercial fishing.
C.Fishing for entertainment.
D.Fishing for individual food.
解析:選A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段二、三句“Countries report their industrial catches to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. But they do not report other kinds of fishing.”可知,各國向聯(lián)合國糧食及農(nóng)業(yè)組織報告了他們的工業(yè)捕魚量,但沒有報告其他形式的捕魚數(shù)量。故選A項。

Since English biologist Charles Darwin published OntheOriginofSpecies in 1859, scientists have vastly improved their knowledge of natural history.However, a lot of information is still the subject of speculation, and scientists can still only make educated guesses at certain things.
One subject that they guess at is why some 400 million years ago, animals in the sea developed limbs that allowed them to move onto and live on land.
Recently, an idea that occurred to the US paleontologist (古生物學(xué)家) Alfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again.
Romer thought that tide pools might have led to fish gaining limbs.Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides.Then, they would have been made either to adapt to their new environment close to land or die.The fittest among them grew to accomplish the transition from sea to land.
Romer called these earliest four-footed animals “tetrapods”.Science has always thought that this was a credible theory, but only recently has there been strong enough evidence to support it.
Hannah Byrne is an oceanographer (海洋學(xué)家) at Uppsala University in Sweden.She announced at the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Oregon, US, that by using computer software, her team had managed to link Romer's theory to places where fossil deposits of the earliest tetrapods (四足動物) were found.
According to the magazine Science, in 2014, Steven Balbus, a scientist at the University of Oxford in the UK, calculated that 400 million years ago, when the move from land to sea was achieved, tides were stronger than they are today.This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now.
The creatures stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”, explained Mattias Green, an ocean scientist at the UK's Bangor University.As he told Science, “After a few days in these pools, you become food or you run out of food ...The fish that had large limbs had an advantage because they could flip (快速翻轉(zhuǎn)) themselves back in the water.”
語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章就“大約4億年前,為什么海里的動物長出了可以使它們遷移到并生活在陸地上的四肢?”這一問題列出了不同的科學(xué)家提供的不同證據(jù)。
4.Who first proposed the theory that fish might have gained limbs because of tidal pools?
A.Alfred Romer. B.Charles Darwin.
C.Hannah Byrne. D.Steven Balbus.
解析:選A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段及第四段第一句可知,最先提出潮水潭導(dǎo)致魚類長出四肢這一觀點的是美國的古生物學(xué)家Alfred Romer,故本題選A。
5.Why were tides stronger 400 million years ago than they are today according to Steven Balbus?
A.There were larger oceans.
B.Earth was closer to the moon.
C.The moon gave off more energy.
D.Earth was under greater pressure.
解析:選B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第七段最后一句“This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now.”可知,4億年前,潮汐比現(xiàn)在更強勁,這是因為地球離月球比現(xiàn)在近了10%。本題答案為B。
6.The underlined word “stranded” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.
A.found B.settled
C.a(chǎn)bandoned D.trapped
解析:選D 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“After a few days in these pools, you become food or you run out of food”可知,“The creatures stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of ‘survival of the fittest’”表示被困在潮水潭的生物將會受到“適者生存”的壓力。第四段第三句也是信息提示。故本題答案為D。trap“使落入險境,使陷入困境”。
7.What is the focus of the article?
A.The arguments over a scientific theory.
B.The proposal of a new scientific theory.
C.Some new evidence to support a previous theory.
D.A new discovery that questions a previous theory.
解析:選C 主旨大意題。根據(jù)第三段可知,最近美國古生物學(xué)家Alfred Romer一個世紀(jì)前的想法再次成為一個熱門話題。根據(jù)第二段可知,這個想法正是對“大約4億年前,為什么海里的動物長出了可以使它們遷移到并生活在陸地上的四肢?”這一問題的思考,故這個問題是以前的問題,且文章給出了不同的科學(xué)家最近提供的不同證據(jù)。故選C。

What's more exciting than having a fresh hot pizza delivered to your door? How about having it brought to you by a robot? Thanks to Domino's Robotic Unit, that just became a reality. On March 8, the three-foot tall robot made its first delivery to some lucky residents in Brisbane, Australia.
The autonomous DRU is the result of a cooperation between Domino's Pizza Australia and Marathon Robotics. The machine can cover a distance of up to 12 miles and back before requiring a battery recharge. Equipped with Google Maps and GPS guidance, DRU can go along bike paths and sidewalks and also find the most efficient way to its destination. LIDAR, a laser-based sensor technology similar to the one used in self-driving cars, enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles, while traditional sensors ensure its path to its destination is safe. DRU's plastic shell protects the food from the bad weather, while its aluminum and steel container ensures that the pies remain hot.
The robot can fit up to ten pizzas and even has a separate cold area to accommodate drink orders. To access their food, customers have to enter the unique code provided by the company. This not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza, but also prevents the pies from getting stolen.
Domino's expects additional DRU to be ready for service in its various Queensland locations within the next six months. But don't expect these super cute robots to replace humans anytime soon. According to Domino's, the DRU still needs much testing, which the company believes could take up to two years. There is also the issue of regulations. The public use of autonomous vehicles is still banned in most countries. But Don Meij, the CEO of Domino's Pizza, is not worried. He believes that one day DRU will become a necessary part of the Domino's family.
8.What's the function of LIDAR?
A.Keeping DRU free of obstacles.
B.Recharging DRU's battery.
C.Helping DRU find its destination.
D.Protecting DRU from bad weather.
解析:選A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“LIDAR, a laser-based sensor technology similar to the one used in self-driving cars, enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles ...”可知,LIDAR的功能是使DRU察覺并避開障礙物。故A項正確。
9.Why does the company provide codes for its customers?
A.To fit up more pizzas.
B.To prevent the pizza being taken by mistake.
C.To keep the pizza warm.
D.To get the pizza paid in time.
解析:選B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“This not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza, but also prevents the pies from getting stolen.”可知,這是為了防止顧客拿錯比薩。故B項正確。
10.What can we infer about the future of DRU?
A.It may need some improvements.
B.It will replace humans soon.
C.It may be banned in Australia.
D.It will soon be applied worldwide.
解析:選A 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“According to Domino's, the DRU still needs much testing, which the company believes could take up to two years.”可以判斷,DRU仍有待改進(jìn)。故A項正確。

To Know Some Customs and Manners
While you are travelling abroad, cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes, which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill-feeling between individuals. __1__
●Touching Someone
__2__ In Mediterranean countries, if you don't touch someone's arm when talking to them or if you don't greet them with kisses or a warm hug, you'll be considered cold. But backslap (拍背) someone who isn't a family member or a good friend in Korea, and you'll make them uncomfortable. In Thailand, the head is considered sacred — never even pat a child on the head.
●Talking Over Dinner
In some countries, like China, Japan and some African nations, the food's the thing, so don't start chatting about your day's adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner. __3__ It's not because your group is unfriendly, but because meal times are for eating, not talking.
●Removing Your Shoes or Not
Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized, but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia, Hawaii, or the Pacific Islands and you'll be considered disrespectful. So, if you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces. __4__
Once you are on the ground of a different country, remain highly sensitive to native behavior. __5__ And don't feel offended if something seems offensive — like queue jumping. After all, this is a global village, and we are all very different.
A.Personal space varies as you travel the globe.
B.Asians consider removing shoes impolite at home.
C.Never be completely surprised by anything.
D.The linguistic mistake means that someone is not fully expressing his idea.
E.Look out for the following cultural mistakes and try to avoid them.
F.If not, keep the shoes on.
G.You'll likely be met with silence.
