species are endangered elsewhere in the world, but still survive in the healthy environment of the Coral Sea.‎ The Coral Sea is a large series of coral reefs located off the northeast coast of Australia.This area is three times larger than Australia’s famous Great Barrier Reef, which the Coral Sea borders.‎ The Coral Sea is one of the few coral reef environments that have remained largely undamaged by overfishing, oil and gas exploration and pollution.However, statistics show that coral reefs around the world are disappearing five times faster than rainforests.It is very likely that in the near future the Coral Sea will face the same threats to its existence.‎ The Australian government is currently looking at options for protecting the Coral Sea but has made no decisions.Environmentalists are pushing for laws to declare the Coral Sea area a marine protected area.This would mean a large “notake zone” for fishermen, a noexploration zone for gas and oil companies and a nodump zone for pollution.This would make the Coral Sea a marine park larger than any in the world.‎ We can write letters to Australian leaders, Australian environmental protection agencies, and Australian friends, to let them know that people worldwide support this protection of the Coral Sea.To lose this last great marine wildness would be a loss for the whole world.‎ For more

to climate change.In fact, they might even boom in the warmer oceans of the future, growing bigger and healthier than they can at presentday temperatures.Evidence gathered over the past decade has suggested that climate change will force fish to migrate to cooler waters, or else face extinction.Signs of such migration have already been seen.But recent studies have shown that some fish are able to adapt to warmer waters over a few generations.‎ Earlier this month，Philip Munday of James Cook University, and his colleagues showed that one key tropical fish species did this by turning on and off some of its genes.Yet there are questions over the potential cost of such an adaptation.The fish’s ability to swim seems to be unchanged, but as Munday noted, “Maybe we’ll see tradeoffs with growth ‎ rates.There are no free lunch in this world.”‎ Donelson from Sydney raised several groups of maroon clownfish(小丑鱼), which live in coral reefs throughout the West Pacific.She kept one group at temperatures representing presentday conditions on the Great Barrier Reef, from where the parents of the fish were collected.In addition, she kept another group at 1.5℃ warmer and a third group at 3℃ warmer, representing the ocean temperature rise expected by the end of the century.‎ After a year of growing, the fish adapted to the warmer temperatures, upping their aerobic metabolism(有氧代谢)which seemed to contribute to other benefits：those raised at temperatures 3℃ warmer grew 8 percent larger and 29 percent heavier than fish raised at lower temperatures.‎ Donelson says that it is hard to make predictions about how different species will cope with climate change.“But at least it won’t be all negative news for all species，” she says.‎ ‎[语篇解读]　本文向我们介绍了有些鱼能够适应气候的改变。‎ ‎5．The main idea of the first paragraph is that________.‎ A．some fish can adjust to warmer waters B．some fish can grow bigger at presentday temperatures C．some fish may die out in cooler waters D．big fish can survive the temperature change 解析　段落大意题。根据文章第一段的最后一句“But recent studies have shown that some fish are able to adapt to warmer waters over a few generations.”可知，最近的研究表明一些鱼将来会适应更温暖的水域，故选A。‎ 答案　A ‎6．One specific kind of fish adjusts to the changed surroundings by________.‎ A．switching their genes on and off B．growing quickly C．training their ability to swim D．living in a group 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“one key tropical fish species did this by turning on and off some of its genes”可知，这种鱼通过改变基因来适应周围环境的改变，故选A。‎ 答案　A ‎7．From Donelson’s experiment, we know________.‎ A．the clownfish she raised are from the Great Banier Reef B．she raised the fish in two different temperature conditions C．after a year’s growing，the fish failed to adjust to warmer temperatures D．the fish raised in the warmest water grow largest and heaviest 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句中的“which live in coral reefs throughout the West Pacific”可知A项错；根据第三段中的“She kept one group”和“she kept another group...and a third group”可知，她养了三组小丑鱼，B项错；根据第四段的内容可知，一年后，小丑鱼适应了更温暖的温度，并且在温度最高的水域里，小丑鱼长得最大最重，故C项错误，D项正确。‎ 答案　D ‎8．What can he inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A．Different species will deal with climate change in the same way.‎ B．Climate change has a positive effect on all the species.‎ C．Fish is not the only species that can meet the challenge of climate change.‎ D．Species which can adapt to climate change would survive.‎ 解析　推理判断题。根据本段的大意可知，Donelson说很难预测不同的物种如何应对气候变化，但对于所有的物种来说并不都是坏消息，由此可推知，鱼类不是唯一可以适应气候变化的物种，故选C。‎ 答案　C C ‎(2016·广州市普通高中综合测试)It was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War Ⅰ.German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socialising with “the enemy” along twothirds of the Western Front.‎ German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”．Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies.They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football.Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before.They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.‎ Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides.They felt that their power was being challenged：soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight.Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court.Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot.By March 1915 the socialising movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation.Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.‎ Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce(休战)．On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”， a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’ response.Thousands of ‎ people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.‎ You can probably guess why the callers were in tears.The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people.It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are.It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.‎ ‎[语篇解读]　本文主要讲述了一战期间，随着战争的残酷性加深，士兵的反战情绪日益高涨，一些士兵拒绝执行作战命令，战场上竟然出现了“圣诞休战”。‎ ‎9．The soldiers began socialising with the enemy because________.‎ A．they couldn’t bear the meaningless killing B．it was the best way to avoid being killed C．they feared that they would be caught D．their enemies were from similar backgrounds 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socialising with ‘the enemy’ along twothirds of the Western Front.”可知，士兵因为厌烦毫无意义的杀戮，开始拒绝执行作战命令，并且开始和“敌人”交往。故选A。‎ 答案　A ‎10．How did the

officers to control the soldiers.‎ D．They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.‎ 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court.Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot.”可知，将军对士兵进行了严厉的警告，违令者监禁甚至枪杀。故选D。‎ 答案　D ‎11．The underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 most
