They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution.B．They will protect animals from harmful noises.C．They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels.D．They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution.BThe sea has always interested man.From it he can get food, minerals, and treasure.For thousands of years, he could sail on it.But he could not go far beneath its surface.Man wants to explore deep into the sea.However, he is not a fish.He must breathe air, so he can't stay under the water's surface for any length of time.To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems.A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases.He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above.He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a nose and a mouthpiece.Water weighs 800 times as much as air.Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea.His body is under great pressure.When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes.As he rises to surface, the water pressure becomes less.If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles.The diver is then suffering from the bends.The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain.They can even kill him.20．On the whole, this passage is about ________.A．special mixtures of gases in deep seaB．the problems man faces in deep-sea divingC．air pressure under the surface of sea waterD．a kind of illness that man suffers in the sea21．The passage does not say so, but it makes you think that ________.A．deep-divers should be in good healthB．divers explore the deep sea only for treasureC．diving under the water too quickly causes a kind of illnessD．there is a special mixture of gases under the sea22．Why does a diver get the bends?A．He tries to do exercises under the water.B．His diving suit weighs too much.C．He comes to the surface too quickly.D．The air in his blood is used up.23．From the passage we can see that ________.A．the sea began to interest man a few years agoB．man is not at home deep in the seaC．all divers will get the bends sooner or laterD．the air in the sea water will kill a diver if he is not carefulⅢ.短文填词阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1)汉语提示，2)首字母提示，3)语境提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，并将该词完整地写在下边相对应的横线上。

It is reported that more than 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans every year, and nearly half of the plastic we produce is singleuse only.This shoe brand, however, is riding the wave of change and is on a mission to help clean up our waters and rid the sea of plastic bottles that can take up to 400 years to break down. Vivobarefoot's newest footwear uses recycled plastic materials and has created an education program that spreads awareness about how harmful plastic is for sea life.Every pair of shoes is made up of 17 plastic water bottles taken from the ocean and turned into a sustainable, comfortable pair of shoes, which are also healthy for your feet. And while not everyone can take part in ocean cleanups, choosing little ways we can give back to our planet goes a long way.Vivobarefoot's new products include a variety of highperformance styles such as casual sneakers, running shoes, and hiking boots. The brand hopes that its latest initiative(新方案) will help lessen the indifference to pollution and how harmful it is for all living beings.In the future, Vivobarefoot hopes to increase their production of shoes created from sustainable materials, and thankfully, it is now one of many brands that aim to increase environmentalism and educate communities on how global warming affects everyone.This year, they'll add more recyclable and traceable materials into more than half of their production line, and they have plenty of creative developments in the works as well.The shoes also have a health benefit. Based on the concept that wider, minimallydesigned shoes enable our foot to function at maximum potential, wearers also experience better balance and sensory input.语篇导读本文主要介绍了一家利用海洋中的废弃塑料瓶制作鞋子的公司。

The culprit is climate change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US.Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer—it lives on the islands！—but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level riseof only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9meter rise would wipe out their habitat(栖息地)completely.The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators(捕食者). As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 78 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate(迁移) to higher ground—but they already occupy the mountaintops. They can't go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up.The volcano rabbit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists are concerned about their populations.Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have been destroyed by development. Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.36．The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to ________．A．show the importance of Easter DayB．introduce the issue about bunniesC．remind people of Easter traditionsD．discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies37．The word “culprit”(Paragraph 2)is closest in meaning to ________．A．criminal B．judge C．victim D．producer38．According to the passage, some rabbits can now be easily discovered by predators because they ________．A．are exposed to more skillful huntersB．have moved to habitats with fewer plantsC．haven't adapted themselves to climate changeD．can't change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring39．The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that ________．A．both are affected by less snowB．both are affected by rising sea levelsC．neither can find enough foodD．neither can migrate to higher places40．Which best describes the writer's tone in the passage?A．Approving. B．Concerned.C．Enthusiastic. D．Doubtful.Ⅳ.短文填词The Qingdao Underwater World 41.o________ a breathtaking view of a marine world.

课时作业 33Ⅰ.阅读理解(2019·豫南九校高三质量考评)Fikiri Kiponda's path from accountant to marine (海洋的) conservationist was sparked by a chance encounter. After securing his dream job, Kiponda decided he wanted more. He wasn't quite sure what he was looking for until he ran across some turtle hatchlings.He didn't know it was turtle. Fortunately enough he got the right person to ask and he got motivated. That person was Nkindi, a staff member at the Watamu Conservation project who later invited him to volunteer on the project. He later left his accounting job and fully devoted himself into the world of sea turtles. Now, he runs and spends his time nursing critically endangered sea turtles back to health.Sea turtles have been around for nearly 110 million years and are now considered highly endangered. Their preservation rests on activities of conservationists such as Kiponda as these turtles face numerous threats and signs of their extinction in the next 50 years.Local fishermen traditionally catch them to supplement their own low catch rates and sell them for their oil. As changes are made to accommodate more hotels for tourists, there is less available beach land for turtle nesting.Kiponda's passion has now spread to his community, changing their attitude towards se a life preservation with his “bycatch release programme.”Through this program, fishermen are now paid for returning turtles accidentally caught in their fishing nets. The healthy ones are tagged and released into the marine park while he takes care of sick and injured turtles back to health.Before the launch of pioneering spirit like this, turtles caught by fishermen were used for their meat and their oil extracted (提炼) for its medicinal properties.“Releasing the turtle back into the ocean is a very goo d feeling, like, you feel like you've done something concrete and I guess everybody would love to do that...so I guess it's unique work.”本文主要讲述了Fikiri Kiponda从一名会计到一位投身于拯救濒临灭绝的海龟的海洋自然资源保护者的故事。

And while not everyone can take part in ocean cleanups, choosing little ways we can give back to our planet goes a long way.Vivobarefoot's new products include a variety of highperformance styles such as casual sneakers, running shoes, and hiking boots. The brand hopes that its latest initiative(新方案) will help lessen the indifference to pollution and how harmful it is for all living beings.In the future, Vivobarefoot hopes to increase their production of shoes created from sustainable materials, and thankfully, it is now one of many brands that aim to increase environmentalism and educate communities on how global warming affects everyone.This year, they'll add more recyclable and traceable materials into more than half of their production line, and they have plenty of creative developments in the works as well.The shoes also have a health benefit. Based on the concept that wider, minimallydesigned shoes enable our foot to function at maximum potential, wearers also experience better balance and sensory input.语篇导读本文主要介绍了一家利用海洋中的废弃塑料瓶制作鞋子的公司。

They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution.B．They will protect animals from harmful noises.C．They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels.D．They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution.BThe sea has always interested man.From it he can get food, minerals, and treasure.For thousands of years, he could sail on it.But he could not go far beneath its surface.Man wants to explore deep into the sea.However, he is not a fish.He must breathe air, so he can't stay under the water's surface for any length of time.To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems.A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases.He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above.He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a nose and a mouthpiece.Water weighs 800 times as much as air.Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea.His body is under great pressure.When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes.As he rises to surface, the water pressure becomes less.If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles.The diver is then suffering from the bends.The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain.They can even kill him.15．On the whole, this passage is about ________.A．special mixtures of gases in deep seaB．the problems man faces in deep-sea divingC．air pressure under the surface of sea waterD．a kind of illness that man suffers in the sea16．A diver's body in deep water ________.A．is under great pressureB．is just like that of a fishC．suffers from the bendsD．weighs very little17．The passage does not say so, but it makes you think that ________.A．deep-divers should be in good healthB．divers explore the deep sea only for treasureC．diving under the water too quickly causes a kind of illnessD．there is a special mixture of gases under the sea18．From the passage we can see that ________.A．the sea began to interest man a few years agoB．man is not at home deep in the seaC．all divers will get the bends sooner or laterD．the air in the sea water will kill a diver if he is not carefulⅢ.完成句子阅读下列各小题，根据每句后的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子。
高考英语一轮 课时作业(三十三) Unit 3 Under the sea 新人教版选修7
贵阳市2014高考英语（新人教版）一轮阅读训练（33）附答案课时作业(三十三) [选修7 Unit 3 Under the sea](限时：35分钟)[2012·浙江卷]阅读理解Easter(复活节)is still a great day for worship, candy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The culprit is climate change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US.Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer—it lives on the islands！—but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9meter rise would wipe out their habitat(栖息地)completely.The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators(捕食者). As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 78 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate(迁移) to higher ground—but theyalready occupy the mountaintops. They can't go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up.The volcano rabbit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists are concerned about their populations.Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have been destroyed by development. Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.36．The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to ________．A．show the importance of Easter DayB．introduce the issue about bunniesC．remind people of Easter traditionsD．discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies37．The word “culprit”(Paragraph 2)is closest in meaning to ________．A．criminal B．judge C．victim D．producer38．According to the passage, some rabbits can now be easily discovered by predators because they ________．A．are exposed to more skillful huntersB．have moved to habitats with fewer plantsC．haven't adapted themselves to climate changeD．can't change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring39．The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that ________．A．both are affected by less snowB．both are affected by rising sea levelsC．neither can find enough foodD．neither can migrate to higher places40．Which best describes the writer's tone in the passage?A．Approving. B．Concerned.C．Enthusiastic. D．Doubtful.Ⅳ.短文填词The Qingdao Underwater World 41.o________ a breathtaking view of a marine world.
