Ⅰ.阅读理解
[2020·长沙四校一模]A tiny Alaska village has experienced a boom in tourism in recent years as polar bears spend more time on land than on Arctic sea ice.
More than 2,000 people visited the northern Alaska village of Kaktovik in 2018 to see polar bears in the wild. The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat (栖息地) of polar bears. As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food.
Polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik, but villagers started noticing a change in the mid1990s. More bears seemed to stay on land, and researchers began taking note of more female bears making homes in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s. As more attention was given to the plight(困境) of polar bears about a decade ago, more tourists started heading to Kaktovik.
The village had fewer than 50 visitors annually before 2011, said Jennifer Reed, of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. “Today we're talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year,” Reed said. Most tourists visit in the fall, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore. Bruce Inglangasak, a local hunter who sometimes offers wildlife-viewing tours, said he's been offering polar bear tours since 2004. Most of his clients(客户) are from China and Europe, as well as from the lower 48 U.S. states. Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels. The villagers have benefited a lot from that. In turn, they provide more effective protection for polar bears with financial support from tourism development.
1.What causes more polar bears to stay on land in Kaktovik?
A.Food shortage.
B.Climate change.
C.Habitats' movement to shore.
D.Their preference for land.
2.How did common people feel about more sight of bears on land?
- 8 -
A.Excited. B.Puzzled.
C.Concerned. D.Shocked.
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Hotels in Kaktovik are in demand in autumn.
B.Kaktovik has about 50 visitors annually.
C.Inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide.
D.Tourism affects the balance of nature.
4.Which saying can describe the text?
A.The fittest can survive.
B.After a storm comes a calm.
C.There is always opportunity in crisis.
D.Every coin has two sides.

课时作业(三)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
体裁:说明文 题材:社会生活 主题:北极熊登陆促进旅游业发展
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。气候变暖导致海冰融化,北极熊登陆,为阿拉斯加的一个小村庄带来了巨大的人气,促进了当地旅游业发展,当地人又用旅游业的收入为北极熊提供积极的保护。
1.B 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice,the primary habitat(栖息地) of polar bears.As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food”可知,全球变暖加速了海冰融化,破坏了北极熊原本的栖息地,越来越多的北极熊待在陆地上以寻找食物,故选B。
- 8 -
2.C 考查推理判断。根据第三段的内容可知,随着越来越多的北极熊出现在陆地上,研究人员、生物学家等也越来越多地关注北极熊所处的这一困境,随后,更多游客前往Kaktovik。由此可推知,大众对更多北极熊登陆现象表示关注,故选C项。
3.A 考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“Most tourists visit in the fall”“Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels”可知,大多数游客会选择在秋季去Kaktovik游览,而且很多游客会在这个小村庄待上几天,而这个小村庄只有两个小旅馆,故可推知在秋季,Kaktovik的旅馆很抢手。
4.D 考查推理判断。通读文章可知,因为全球气候变暖,北极熊被迫登陆来寻找食物以生存下去,这本来是北极熊的困境,然而北极熊登陆却为一个小村庄带来了旅游业的发展,这对小村庄来说是一个机遇。同时,村民又利用旅游业收入为北极熊提供更多保护。因此D项“事物都有两面性”符合语境。
Ⅱ.七选五
体裁:说明文 主题语境:人与自我——旅行——带孩子去旅行应该考虑的事情
【语篇解读】 对新手家长来说,带着孩子去旅游是一件很可怕的事情。诸如你需要有很强的责任感,在旅途中的任何时刻旅行费用可能出乎意料之类的很多事情需要考虑。本文就此给出了一些建议。
1.E 依据下文的“many parents sometimes lose their kids”可知,该空应该是造成家长丢失孩子的原因,又联系下文中的“Popular tourist destinations are overcrowded, too”可知E项“机场和火车站通常过于拥挤”符合语境。
2.B 分析文章结构和空处所在位置可知,本空是该段的主题句。该段谈到,在旅行中鼓励孩子们创建旅行日记、阅读、讲故事、照相等,又结合第二句中的“in order to keep your little ones entertained”可知,这些都是让孩子们娱乐的方式,故选B项。
3.D 依据本段第二、三句可以推断出,该句的内容也与让孩子们娱乐的方式有关,故D项“棋类游戏也可能是个不错的选择”符合语境,该项中的too与前面的讲故事、照相等相衔接。
4.C 分析文章结构可知,本空是该段的主题句。该段主要讲了在旅行中要为孩子准备急救箱。故C项“准备一个适合儿童使用的小急救箱”与该段内容相符。
5.G 依据空前一句可知,经过精心准备,你的家庭旅行会成为最难以忘怀的;且本文主要讲的是带孩子旅行所需做的准备,故G项表述在旅行计划中考虑你的孩子(的问题)能帮助你(拥有更好的旅行体验)表述符合语境。
Ⅲ.完形填空
体裁:说明文 主题语境:人与社会——社会生活——巴黎卢浮宫不堪游客重负
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了游客量的增加使巴黎卢浮宫不堪重负。巴黎卢浮宫2018年的游客量打破其以往纪录,给其工作人员带来重压甚至导致罢工,但带来的收益很可观。
1.B 上文是说卢浮宫又一次被宣布成为世界上最受欢迎的博物馆。根据该句中的“may
- 8 -
not be”及下文游客量上升给卢浮宫工作人员带来的重压可知,此处表示“然而,对于巴黎卢浮宫来说,这可能不是一件很好的(splendid)事情”,故选B。
2.A 参见上题解析。splendid意为“极佳的,非常好的”;skeptical意为“怀疑的”;tough意为“难办的”。
3.C 根据该句中的“the top spot”并结合语境可知,这家博物馆接待了1 020万游客,打破了它的纪录,故选C。
4.C 参见上题解析。
5.D 根据下文中的“The Louvre is suffocating(使人窒息的)”可知,卢浮宫的游客量的这个小幅增加最后证明是卢浮宫的工作人员所不能承受的。
6.A 根据下文工会在一份声明中所说的话可知,接待处和安保处的工作人员实行罢工是因为涌入博物馆大门的游客太多,故选A。
7.A 参见上题解析。flood意为“大量涌入”;crawl意为“爬行”。
8.B 根据上文内容可知,工会在一份声明中表态,此处应是工会补充说。
9.D 根据本句中的“opened”并结合语境可知,该博物馆在星期一的时候闭馆,后来又于周三开放,故选D。
10.B 结合选项和常识可知,推迟开放的原因是一次和对现状不满意的卢浮宫工作人员的会议,故选B。
11.A 根据该句中的“outside the building”并结合选项可知,此处表示游客在卢浮宫外面排队等候,故选A。
12.C 根据上文游客量太大,有票的还需排队等候可知,那些没有订票的游客就被拒绝进入博物馆。turn sb. away意为“把某人拒之门处,不准某人进入”,故选C。turn up“到达;偶然出现”;turn over“使翻转”;turn on“打开”。
13.D 尽管博物馆和工作人员的这种紧张关系正在继续,但是博物馆的收益看起来还是很可观。
14.A 参见上题解析。healthy“可观的”;tinny“(声音)尖细的”;cozy“温暖舒适的”。
15.B 卢浮宫于去年打破了它在2012年创下的游客到访(attendance)纪录,这标志着一个对2017年游客量急剧下降的巨大回升(recovery)。这次下降是由于突然发生的巴黎旅游业(tourism)下滑而引起的,故选B。
16.C 参见上题解析。
17.D 参见第15题解析。
18.C 此处表示对在卢浮宫进行拍摄的Beyoncé和Jay-Z音乐录影(video)特别痴迷的社交媒体也影响了此次游客量的增加。be crazy about sb./sth.“对某人/某物着迷”为固定搭配。
- 8 -
19.B 参见上题解析。
20.D 根据该句中的“But while”和下文中的“by just 0.1%”可知,虽然卢浮宫的游客量是上升的,但是世界上前20名的博物馆的整体的到访率相对而言是不景气的(flat)。
