　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　(2017·海口一中模拟)Trash Island is the name given to a large area of floating trash in the Pacific Ocean. The problem is that it is damaging the environment.

　　Trash Island lies between Hawaii and Japan, but doesn't mean that the trash only comes from those two places. It can come from Asia, the

　　United States and Canada. About 75% of the trash comes from sources on land, while the other 25% comes from ships at sea. Tons of plastic produced yearly throughout the world ends up in the ocean, forming the Trash Island. Since the plastic has been beaten by the waves, much of it has been broken down into small pieces.

　　Millions of nurdles (塑料颗粒) are spilled into the ocean every year, which make up about 10% of all the plastic pieces in the sea.

　　Nurdles are bean­sized pieces of plastic. These nurdles floating in the ocean are poisonous. When they break down, chemicals that are not found in nature come into the ocean. These become deadly to ocean life.

　　Thousands of ocean animals die every year because of the trash. Many ocean animals eat pieces of plastic trash and die. Others eat things like small plastic toys. Birds and fish often mistake the brightly colored nurdles for fish eggs.

　　You can help by cutting back on the amount of plastic you use in your home and in your business. Pick up trash when you see it lying around and with it properly. Recycle as much plastic as possible. Help clean up beaches, rivers and streams.

　　1．What do we know about nurdles according to the passage?

　　A．They give off some poisonous gases into the ocean.

　　B．They are plastic products such as plastic toys or bottles.

　　C．They make up about half of the ocean plastic pieces.

　　D．They are harmful to the growth and development of ocean life.

　　2．Which of the following is TRUE?

　　A．The Trash Island is a man­made disaster.

　　B．The trash mainly comes from the United States.

　　C．Some ocean animals feed on plastic pieces.

　　D．Birds and fish will die if they come close to the Trash Island.

　　3．We can know from the last paragraph that

　　________

　　.

　　A．it's difficult to reduce the amount of plastic

　　B．everyone can make a difference to the problem

　　C．we should not use plastic products in our daily life

　　D．everyone should learn how to recycle plastic in their life

　　4．In which column of a magazine can we most possibly read this passage?

　　A．Industry.

　　B．Society.

　　C．Culture.

　　D．Environment.Ⅰ.A

　　1．解析：a　考查冠词。hold a certain appeal表示“有一定的吸引力”。2．解析：were　考查虚拟语气。根据空格线后的“then we could instantly become ...”可知，此处是虚拟条件句，主句表示与现在事实相反的假设，所以从句谓语动词用过去式。故填were。3．解析：more intelligent　考查比较等级。如果这是真的，那么仅仅通过激活沉睡的大部分大脑，我们就会(比以前)聪明十倍。4．解析：stimulated　考查时态。这里是指19世纪科学家所做的实验，因此用一般过去时。5．解析：its　考查代词。这里its指代the animal's。6．解析：called　考查动词的被动语态。此处应用called表示“被称作”。7．解析：as/when/while　考查连词。这句话的意思是“事实上，当我们睡觉的时候，大脑的很多区域都是极度活跃的”。8．解析：Interestingly　考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，________ enough作状语，因此此处要用副词Interestingly。9．解析：given　考查非谓语动词。所填词作定语修饰task，由于give与task之间为动宾关系，故用过去分词given。10．解析：of　考查介词。be capable of doing sth.意为“有能力做某事”。

　　B

　　1．解析：on　考查介词。在表示具体的日子或一个特定的时间词前用介词on。

　　2．解析：a/one　考查冠词或数词。此处表示“但我想留出其中的一周”。

　　3．解析：reservation　考查词性转换。此处需要一个名词作宾语，因此用reserve的名词形式。

　　4．解析：need　考查动词。由下文中的“I'll be staying with friends.”可知Helen没有必要预订。

　　5．解析：to stay　考查不定式作定语。此处意为“待的地方”。

　　6．解析：will be swimming　考查时态。由“in a few days”可知，此处应用将来时；且根据后面的并列结构“and lying... and just taking...”可知，此处应用将来进行时。

　　7．解析：taking　考查非谓语动词。consider意为“考虑”时，后面需要接动名词作宾语。

　　8．解析：should　考查情态动词。此处表示我应该考虑这事了。

　　9．解析：that　考查引导定语从句的关系词。此处关系代词指代前面的things并在定语从句中作宾语，且先行词前有限定词all，故只能用that。

　　10．解析：it　考查代词。此处it指代and前提到的vacation。Ⅱ.1.解析：选B　本空后面的宾语从句不是劝告、建议类的信息，而是在叙述一个客观事实：所罗门群岛很热，因此用tell表示“告诉，告知”。若选A项，则应用主动语态。

　　2．解析：选C　因为被告知那里很热，所以作者就带了很多夏天穿的衣服。pack表示“打包”，符合语境。

　　3．解析：选A　本空与后面的for相呼应，因此选left。leave for表示“前往”。

　　4．解析：选D　既然是坐去机场的班车，那么我们就是去赶飞机的，因此选D项。

　　5．解析：选B　车上很冷，所以我们和孩子们依偎在一起，这样是为了让他们感到暖和，因此选B项。

　　6．解析：选B　车上不断有乘客上下车，所以我们也就没有很关注这些人。take notice表示“注意，关注”。

　　7．解析：选C　太冷了，孩子们睡不着，因此选C，表示“没有真正休息的，没有睡眠的”。

　　8．解析：选D　这个老太太拿出一条护膝毛毯。hold out表示“拿出，递出”，符合语境。

　　9．解析：选B　孩子们很冷，此时有人拿给他们毛毯，他们自然是很急切地接了过去，因此选B。

　　10．解析：选A　这里用介词around“围绕，在……周围”描述孩子把毯子披在身上的动作。11．解析：选C　注意后面的副词off。有了这条毯子，孩子们暖和多了，于是他们开始打盹。nod off表示“打瞌睡”，符合语境。12．解析：选D　“我”要把毛毯还给这个老太太，因此她应该比我们先下车，故选before引导时间状语从句，表示“在……之前”。13．解析：选B　前面说孩子们裹着毛毯睡着了，而“我”要把毛毯拿下来还给老太太，因此这里用unwrap表示“打开，解开”。14．解析：选A　老太太让“我”留着毛毯，因此用keep，表示“保留”。15．解析：选C　根据语境可知，这里应用symbol表示“象征，标志”。这条毛毯成为陌生人传递友爱的象征。16．解析：选B　这条毛毯是手工制作的，颜色也是精心挑选的，凝聚了主人的心血，可是主人却把它留给了我们，这里用part with sth. 表示“放弃，交出(尤指不舍得的东西)”。17．解析：选A　空处与后面的“there is goodness”对应，与前面的“bad”呼应，故应选A，表示“残忍的”。

　　18．解析：选C　这条毛毯却在提醒“我”，这个世界上还有善良的品质。这里用reminder表示“提醒物”。20空前的reminder是线索提示。

　　19．解析：选D　从后文可知，这里表示作者对这件事一直心存感激。故选grateful“感激的”。

　　20．解析：选A　这条毛毯让孩子们免受寒冷，也让“我”见证了人们的善良。因此选A项。

　　Ⅲ.1.解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“These nurdles floating in the ocean are poisonous. When they break down, chemicals that are not found in nature come into the ocean. These become deadly to ocean life.”可知，塑料颗粒对海洋生物是有害的。2．解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段可知垃圾岛是人类向海洋中排放的塑料垃圾形成的，再根据第三、四两段可知，垃圾岛正威胁着海洋生物的生存。由此可知垃圾岛是一种人为灾害。3．解析：选B　推理判断题。最后一段作者提出了几条建议来减少流向海洋的垃圾，这些都是每个人力所能及的事情，即每个人都可以为解决垃圾岛问题贡献力量。4．解析：选D　文章出处题。本文主要讲的是垃圾岛的一些具体情况。所以本文最有可能出现在杂志的环境栏目中。
