It can be even scarier when you’re a young little blue penguin(企鹅), the tiniest of the penguin species. Luckily, there are some humans willing to help. They stepped in to protect Billy, a blue penguin that appeared on a beach in Christchurch, New Zealand.‎ Spotted on November 29 at the slipway at Moncks Bay, near Sumner, in Christchurch, the little penguin immediately attracted a small crowd. Jeff Mein Smith saw the crowd while he was bicycling that afternoon, and he biked home to get his camera. When he returned to the scene, he found that the penguin had received a little sign, one that read “Hi, I’m waiting for my mum to come back. DOC(Department of Conservation) knows I’m here. Please leave me alone. Keep your dog away. Thanks, Billy the baby blue penguin.”‎ Billy didn’t move away from the sign. The DOC arrived later that afternoon to pick up Billy, though they were surprised to see it on the beach. “It’s unusual for a blue penguin to be out in the open on the beach during the day，” Anita Spencer, a DOC senior ranger, told Stuff.‎ Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being retrieved from the beach. Volunteers believe the bird may actually be a female penguin, and is around 2 months old. The chick weighs a mere 550 grams, less than a standard basketball. A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age. Most little penguins grow up to weigh 1 kilogram.‎ The center will help the little penguin gain some weight by feeding it fish juice, before it’s set free into the ocean.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文主要讲述了一只小蓝企鹅在人们的帮助下最终得救的故事。‎ ‎1．Why can the world be frightening to a young penguin?‎ A．It is a rare species.‎ B．It faces potential danger.‎ C．It is surrounded by the crowd.‎ 9‎ D．It is threatened by dogs.‎ B　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段，尤其是倒数第二、三句“Please leave me alone. Keep your dog away.”可知，当时有人在那只小蓝企鹅旁边竖立了一个牌子警示人们不要打扰它，不要让狗靠近它。由此可推知，对于那只小蓝企鹅来讲，这个世界是可怕的，因为它面临着一些潜在的危险。故B项正确。‎ ‎2．It can be inferred from the text that Billy________．‎ A．is a female penguin B．has expressed its thanks C．weighs less for its age D．prefers living on the beach C　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The chick weighs a mere 550 grams, less than a standard basketball. A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age.”可知，这只小蓝企鹅体重只有550克，而处于它这个年龄的小蓝企鹅的体重应达到900克左右。由此可推知，这只小蓝企鹅的体重低于它这个年龄的小蓝企鹅的体重。故C项正确。‎ ‎3．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “retrieved” in Paragraph 4?‎ A．Ignored. B．Cured.‎ C．Given away. D．Brought back.‎ D　解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句“Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being retrieved from the beach.”可知，这只小蓝企鹅是从沙滩上被带到克赖斯特彻奇的一个企鹅康复中心的。由此可推知，画线词与brought back “带回”意思相近。故D项正确。‎ ‎4．What will happen to Billy in the center?‎ A．It will be reported to Stuff.‎ B．It will be visited by the locals.‎ C．It will be taken good care of.‎ D．It will be fed with fruit juice.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“The center will help the little penguin gain some weight by feeding it fish juice, before it’s set free into the ocean.”可知，在这只小蓝企鹅被放回海洋之前，康复中心会帮助它增加一些体重。由此可推知，在那个企鹅康复中心里，这只小蓝企鹅会得到很好的照顾。故C项正确。‎ B ‎(2020·陕西部分学校摸底检测) Scientists are preparing to launch the world’s first machine to clean up the planet’s largest mass of ocean plastic.‎ 9‎ The experts believe the machine should be able to collect half of the detritus in the patch—about 40，000 metric tons—within five years. In the past few weeks they have been busy welding together giant tubes that will sit on the surface of the sea and form the skeleton of the machine, creating the largest floating barrier ever made.‎ The system, originally dreamt up by Mr. Slat, will be shipped out this summer to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, between Hawaii and California, which contains estimated 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic. It will be the first ever attempt to tackle the patch since it was discovered in 1997.‎ Mr. Slat was 16 and still at school when he was diving in Greece and first saw for himself the amount of plastic polluting the sea. “There were more bags than fish down there，” he recalls. Two years later he came up with a solution, quit university after six months and set up The Ocean Cleanup as a company. Mr. Slat says the first plastic to arrive on shore will be a major milestone. “We as humanity created this problem, so I think it’s also our responsibility to help solve it，” he says.‎ The Great Pacific Garbage Patch(GPGP) covers an area of 1.6 million square kilometers and contains at least 79，000 tons of plastic, research found last month. Most of it is made up of “ghost gear”—parts of abandoned and lost fishing gear, such as nets and ropes—often from illegal fishing vessels.‎ Ghost gear kills more than 100，000 whales, dolphins and seals each year, according to scientific surveys. Seabirds and other marine life are increasingly being found dead with stomachs full of small pieces of plastic. Creatures eat plastic discarded in the sea thinking it’s food but then starve to death because they are not feeding properly. Others are trapped and die of starvation or are strangled or suffocated by ghost gear.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了世界首个海洋垃圾清扫机的发明。‎ ‎5．What does the underlined word “detritus” in the second paragraph probably mean?‎ A．Waste. B．Ocean.‎ C．System. D．Machine.‎ A　解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词前的“collect half of”和第四段第一句中的“first saw for himself the amount of plastic polluting the sea”和第五段最后一句中的“parts of abandoned and lost fishing gear, such as nets and ropes—often from 9‎ ‎ illegal fishing vessels”可推知，画线词的意思是“垃圾”。故选A。‎ ‎6．Which one makes up most of the garbage in Pacific from the passage?‎ A．Fishing vessels.‎ B．Dolphins and seals.‎ C．Giant tubes.‎ D．Abandoned fishing gear.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“Most of it is made up of ‘ghost gear’—parts of abandoned and lost fishing gear, such as nets and ropes—often from illegal fishing vessels.”可知，太平洋里的大部分垃圾是由废弃的钓鱼用具组成的。‎ ‎7．Why do some creatures in The Great Pacific Garbage Patch die of starvation?‎ A．Because they are killed by ghost gear.‎ B．Because they are suffocated by ghost gear.‎ C．Because they don’t like eating plastic.‎ D．Because they are not feeding properly.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句中的“but then starve to death because they are not feeding properly”可知，太平洋垃圾带的一些生物死于饥饿是因为它们不能正常地进食。‎ ‎8．What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A．A report about the death of marine life.‎ B．News about the first machine to clean up ocean plastic.‎ C．Information about ocean plastic.‎ D．The reason for inventing a machine.‎ B　解析：主旨大意题。本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了世界首个海洋垃圾清扫机的发明。第一段“Scientists are preparing to launch the world’s first machine to clean up the planet’s largest mass of ocean plastic.”点明了文章的主题。故选B。‎ Ⅱ.七选五 ‎(2020·辽宁五校模拟)‎ How to Overcome Depression Suffering from depression means more than just dealing with a bad week or even a bad month.
