　　课时规范训练(单独成册)

　　训练(三十)

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　Around the world，honeybee groups are dying in huge numbers：About one­third of nests collapse each year.For bees and the plants they pollinate (授粉)—as well as for beekeepers，farmers，honey lovers and everyone else who appreciates this marvelous social insect—this is a catastrophe.

　　Honeybee collapse has been particularly worrying because there is no one cause，but rather a thousand little cuts.The main elements include the mixed impact of pesticides (杀虫剂) applied to fields，as well as pesticides applied directly into nets to control bugs，pests and diseases；nutritional shortages caused by vast acreages of single­crop fields that lack diverse flowering plants；and commercial beekeeping itself，which destroys groups by moving most bees around the country multiple times each year to pollinate crops.

　　The real issue，though，is not the volume of problems，but the interactions among them.Here we find a major lesson from the bees that we ignore at our risk：the concept of synergy (协同作用)，where one plus one equals three，or four，or more.A typical honeybee colony contains remains from more than 120 pesticides.Alone，each represents a benign dose (良性剂量)．But together they form a poisonous soup of chemicals whose interplay (相互作用) can greatly reduce the effectiveness of bees’ immune systems，making them easier to suffer from diseases.

　　Observing the death of honeybees should warn us that our own well­being might be similarly threatened，and the widespread collapse of so many groups presents a clear message：We must demand that our regulatory authorities require studies on how exposure to low dosages of combined chemicals may affect human health before approving compounds.

　　Bees also provide some clues to how we may build a more collaborative relationship with the services that ecosystems can provide.Bees could offer some of the pollination service needed for agriculture.People discovered that crop harvests，and thus profits，are maximized if some croplands are left uncultivated for bees.Meanwhile a variety of wild plants means a healthier，more diverse bee population，which will then move to the planted fields next door in larger and more active numbers.

　　【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。每年世界各地的蜜蜂大量死亡，这些蜜蜂的死亡给了人们关于建立协作性的生态系统的警示。

　　www.gkxx.com1．Which of the following is NOT the cause that leads to bees dying?

　　A．Lack of nutrition from enough diverse flowering plants.

　　B．The pests and diseases of the bees.

　　C．The beekeepers’ destroying without intention.

　　D．The pesticides applied to crops.

　　解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第二段除第一句以外的句子可知，主要的原因包括应用于田地的杀虫剂，以及直接用于网络的用来控制害虫、疾病的杀虫剂。大面积种植同一作物缺乏多种开花植物所造成的营养不足；而商业养蜂本身，破坏大部分蜜蜂每年多次授粉作物。故选A。

　　2．By saying “one plus one equals three，or four，or more” in Paragraph 3，the author means that

　　.

　　A．bees united mean they are much more powerful

　　B．bees united mean they are much more poisonous

　　C．pesticides mixed mean they are much more poisonous

　　D．pesticides mixed mean they are much more effective

　　解析：选C。细节理解题。第三段最后一句“But together they form a poisonous soup of chemicals whose interplay (相互作用) can greatly reduce the effectiveness of bees’ immune systems，making them easier to suffer from diseases.”但是结合起来，他们形成了一种可以极大作用相互作用的有毒的化学物质，可以极大地降低蜜蜂免疫系统的有效性，使得他们更容易染上疾病。故选C。

　　3．The lesson people can learn from bees dying is that

　　.

　　A．medicine is as powerful as pesticide

　　B．our health might be threatened by pesticides

　　C．we should protect bees by reducing the usage of pesticides

　　D．medicine may be harmful to us when used together

　　解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句我们可以知道，这些农药混合在一起会形成很大毒素的化学物质，从而削弱蜜蜂的免疫力。由此推断出人也是这样的。故选D。

　　4．What is the last paragraph mainly about?

　　A．Keeping a balance with nature is important.

　　B．More plants mean more and healthier bees.

　　C．Bees are very important to agriculture.

　　D．Bees can bring in good higher profits to farmers.

　　解析：选A。推理判断题。从中心句第一句“Bees also provide some clues to how we may build a more collaborative relationship with the services that ecosystems can provide.”可知，蜜蜂也证明了一些线索关于我们应该建立与生态系统提供的一个更加合作的关系。故选A。

　　Foxes and farmers have never got on well.These small dog­like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals.They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.

　　gkxx.comFarmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population.Hunting consists of running after a fox across the countryside，with a group of specially trained dogs，followed by men and women riding horses.When the dogs eventually catch the fox，they kill it or a hunter shoots it.

　　People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport.They wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers，and follow strict rules of behavior.But owning a horse and hunting regularly are expensive，so most hunters are wealthy.

　　It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox­hunting.But over the last couple of decades the number of people who are against fox­hunting，because they think it is

　　brutal (残暴的)，has risen sharply.Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt opponents (阻止者)．Sometimes these incidents lead to violence，but mostly opponents discourage the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell，which the dogs follow.

　　Noisy conflicts between hunters and opponents have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as running after foxes itself.But this year supporters of fox­hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport.A Labour Party member of Parliament (英国议会)，Mike Foster，is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal.If the law is passed，wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.

　　【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是猎狐运动的兴衰。前三段可以看作是一个部分，主要论述猎狐运动的起源和特点；后两段的主要内容是反猎狐运动的兴起。

　　5．Wealthy people in Britain have been hunting foxes to

　　.

　　A．benefit the farmers B．get entertainment

　　高中学习网 www.gkxx.comC．show off their wealth D．limit the fox population

　　解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第三段“People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport...so most hunters are wealthy.”可知，英国富有的人把猎杀作为一种运动，一种娱乐。故选B。

　　6．The opponents of fox­hunting often discourage the game by

　　.

　　A．using violence

　　B．taking legal action

　　C．seeking help from farmers

　　D．confusing the fox hunters

　　解析：选D。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Sometimes these incidents lead to violence，but mostly opponents discourage the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell”可知讲到了三种干预方式：一是violence；二是misleading riders；三是disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell。根据文中交代，violence的发生频率是sometimes(有时)，而后两者是mostly(大部分)。题目问的是often(经常)，显然指的是后两者，即迷惑狩猎者。故选D。

　　7．A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to

　　.

　　A．protect wild animals like foxes

　　B．control fox­hunting on a large scale

　　C．prohibit farmers from hunting foxes

　　D．standardize the behavior of fox­hunting

　　解析：选A。细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Mike Foster，is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law...wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.”可知，英国国会出台的法律目的是为了保护像狐狸一样的野生动物被猎杀。故选A。

　　初中学习网8．What can be inferred from this passage?

　　A．Limiting the fox population is unnecessary at all.

　　B．Killing foxes with poison is not allowed by the law.

　　C．Hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent.

　　D．Fox­hunting causes conflicts between hunters and farmers.

　　解析：选C。根据最后一段中的“trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal”可知，英国议会出台的新法律规定了用狗捕杀野生动物是不合法的，由此可推断出用狗猎杀是残忍的。故选C。
