Question

1．The hit movie Finding Nemo follows a clownfish from the Great Barrier Reef． In real life，clownfish are among the thousands of colorful sea creatures that call the Great Barrier Reef home．Stretching l，250 miles along Australia's northeastern． coast，the Great Barrier Reef is the longest coral reef in the world．
    A coral reef is a living underwater structure． But these days，the Great Barrier Reef has found itself in trouble．Overfishing，pollution，and high temperatures are harming its health． That's why the government in Australia is trying to help rescue the reef．
Underwater Garden
   While coral may look like a plant，it is actually made up of tiny sea animal．Those sea animals are called coral polyps． 
   As polyps die，they leave hard．shells behind． Other polyps grow on top of the shells．Over thousands of years，they form a coral reef in warm water that is not very deep．
   In many ways，the Great Barrier Reef resembles an underwater garden．  Coral can be hard or soft．It forms in different colors and in strange shapes．Some coral looks like hardened brains． Other coral looks like fans and lettuces．
  The reef bursts with schools of tropical fish，dashing among gaps in the coral．The reef supplies food． and． shelter to creatures living in and around the coral．  Turtles，sharks，sea horses，and crabs are among its many inhabitants．
Helping Humans
     While the reef is important to ocean life，it helps humans，too．  People rely on the reef for both food and jobs． It also provides medicine used to treat disease．  Each year，the Great Barrier Reef contributes about  $ 975 million to the economy through tourism and fishing．
Stressed Out   
    Is it surprising，then，that the Great Barrier Reef is under too much stress？Fishing nets and ships break off sections and damage the reef．  Air and water pollution are also doing harm． At the same time，warmer sea temperatures have caused coral bleaching（漂白） on half of the reef． The high temperatures cause the coral to turn white，often killing it．
Reef Rescue
    In an effort to help save the reef，the government has limited fishing to two thirds of it． That plan increases the number of"green zones．"Those are areas that are off-limits to fishermen and boats． However，tourists and researchers can still visit them． Many fishermen are upset about the plan because they rely on the reef for jobs．
     The Australian government says that its plan will help keep the reef safe from some threats．"It is very important that we give   B reef proper protection for the future，"said one government official．  The reef is Australia's greatest natural treasure．

35．Which of the following is not a creature that lives in the Great Barrier Reef？D
A．  Coral polyps． 
B． Turtles．       
C．  Sea horses．  
D． Whales．
36． Which section describes the problem in this passage？C
A．"Underwater Garden"
B．"Helping Humans
C．"Stressed Out"
D．"Reef Rescue"
37．What picture can the reader get from the underlined sentence"The reef bursts with schools of tropical fish，dashing among gaps in the coral．"in Paragraph 6？C
A． Many fish quickly moving through the coral．
B．  Fish moving toward the center，or target，of the coral．
C．  Structured，orderly groups of young fish without a clear path． 
D． Fish exploding when they come into contact with gaps in the coral．
38．What is this passage mostly about？A
A． The causes of reef problems an  possible solutions．
B． Coral bleaching，which causes the reef to turn white．
C． The history of tourism to the Great Barrier Reef．
D． Overfishing and higher temperatures．

Answer 1

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，文章主要通過一部電影《海底總動員》引出本文主題，即暗礁是很多海底動物的家，但是目前面臨許多問題，人類的捕漁，空氣和水的污染以及海洋溫度升高都在殺死珊瑚礁，但目前人類已采取措施去保護這天然的寶藏．

解答 35．D．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章四、七段"Those sea animals are called coral polyps""Turtles，sharks，sea horses，and crabs are among its many inhabitants"，可知鯨魚不是住在這兒的；故選D．
36．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章11段"Air and water pollution are also doing harm"，空氣和水污染也在對它造成傷害，可知存在許多問題；故選C．
37．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章"The reef bursts with schools of tropical fish，dashing among gaps in the coral"暗礁成為熱帶魚的學(xué)校，魚兒在珊瑚之間的空隙自由自在的游動，可想象出一副魚兒快速穿梭在珊瑚間的美景；故選C．
38．A．主旨大意題．通讀全文，可知文章主要通過一部電影《海底總動員》引出本文主題，即暗礁是很多海底動物的家，但是目前面臨許多問題，但也已有解決的對策，可知文章主要寫引起珊瑚礁問題的原因與解決方案；故選A．

點評 考察學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
