1、课时跟踪检测（一） Warm-up & Lesson 1 Pre-reading阅读理解ASatellites in space measure temperatures over large areas of the ocean. They are, however, less specific when it comes to measuring temperatures along the coast. However, there is a new solution.Scientists want people who do water sports to help them gath

2、er coastal climate data. This includes surfers, divers and fishermen. The idea came from new data collected by scientists who are also surfers. The group was led by a scientist in England named Bob Brewin. The group designed a surfboard that could be their laboratory. The results show different wate

3、r temperatures than what the satellites have shown.Coastlines are important to the economy. Large amounts of people use them for business and fun. Coastlines are also important for the environment because they are home to many different plants and animals.Brewin says satellite data alone cannot be t

4、rusted. So, his team wants volunteers to gather data during their water activities. The information the volunteers find will be used along with satellite readings. The scientists think this will result in more accurate information.“We can begin to understand how our coastal environment is responding

5、 to climate change，” Brewin said.They want surfers to check water surfaces and divers to measure temperatures deeper in the water. The information would then go into the scientists database. Meanwhile, a group of scientists from Europe had another idea. The group is interested in boots that some fis

6、hermen use. These boots sense water temperatures. The scientists think the fishermen who wear those boots could be connected to a datacollection system.Many water sports take place in areas that are important for sea life. These locations can be difficult to check, Brewin says. For example, ocean wa

7、ves can ruin datacollection floats and boats. So, coastal seasurface temperature records are poor.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。科学家依靠冲浪者、潜水者和渔民获取有关海岸线温度的信息。1Whats the problem with satellites?AThey cant measure temperatures over the ocean.BThey cant locate coasts very accurately.CThey might provide unreliable data.D

8、They break down frequently.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They are, however, less specific when it comes to measuring temperatures along the coast”可知，当涉及到海岸线温度时，卫星提供的信息不可靠。2What did Brewins team do?AThey turned a surfboard into a lab.BThey did research on water sports.CThey made efforts to learn surfing.DThey m

9、ade friends with fishermen.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The group designed a surfboard that could be their laboratory”可知，以Brewin为首的科学家们把冲浪板改成了实验室。3How can volunteers help Brewin?AAnalyze satellite readings.BCompare data from different sources.CWear boots designed by Brewins group.DGo into waters of different

10、depths to collect data.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第五段中的“They want surfers to check water surfaces and divers to measure temperatures deeper in the water”可知，科学家希望志愿者们进入不同深度的海水中进行数据收集。4Why is it difficult to check the temperature of coastlines?ASurfers face great danger.BBeaches cover huge areas.CDatacollection boa

11、ts are too big.DWaves damage the measuring equipment.解析：选D推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“For example, ocean waves can ruin datacollection floats and boats”可知，海浪会毁掉测量设备，这使得对海岸线温度的监测变得异常困难。BThere are eight species of dolphins in Hawaii. The bottlenosed dolphin is the most common type of dolphin. This name came from i

12、ts longer upper and lower jaws. This dolphin is a very loving and friendly animal. There are cases of dolphins that rescue injured divers in the ocean.In Hawaii, you can experience swimming with dolphins. There are several companies on Oahu and the Big Island that offer a swim with these animals in

13、the wild. These kinds of tours usually are combined with water sports such as snorkel (水下呼吸管) or scuba diving.Dolphins are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act and it is against the law to become closer than 50 yards (45 m)to them. But these friendly animals can approach to check you out. Y

14、ou have to consider that if dolphins prefer to keep away, you should not try to swim close to them. If dolphins come close while you are swimming in the ocean, dont attempt to touch them and dont make aggressive or sudden movements.At the Sea Life Park on Oahu, they have special dolphin programs tha

15、t allow you to swim and hug dolphins, besides, youll learn about these mammals habits. The Dolphin Quest program will explain to you why dolphins are considered one of the most intelligent creatures.Swimming with dolphins is one of the most attractive activities if you come to Hawaii. But Hawaiis un

16、derwater world is amazing and has many other species to watch：Humpback whales，Green sea turtles，Monk seals and so on.While you get in touch with this underworld，always have in mind the main rule of the ocean respect: Look but dont touch.语篇解读：本文向读者介绍在夏威夷和海豚一起游泳时需要注意的几点事项。5Whats the main idea of Parag

17、raph 1?ADolphins in Hawaii have longbottle noses.BDolphins in Hawaii love friends.CDolphins in Hawaii always save the divers.DDolphins in Hawaii are explained in brief.解析：选D段落大意题。第一段简单地介绍了夏威夷海域里海豚的情况。6According to the Marine Mammal Protection Act, when you swim in the ocean you .Ahave to follow the

18、dolphinsBmust stay close to the dolphinsCshould keep a distance from the dolphinsDcant move with the dolphins解析：选C细节理解题。由第三段第一句 “Dolphins are protected . to them.” 可知，人们要与海豚保持一定的距离，否则就触犯了法律。7If you want to know something about dolphins life, you can .Atravel to the Big Island now and thenBobey the M

19、arine Mammal Protection ActCturn to the dolphin programs at the Sea Life ParkDlive with the dolphins for a long time on Oahu解析：选C细节理解题。由第四段可知，从这些节目中可以了解海豚的生活习性。8When travelling around Hawaiis underwater world, you can do all of the following EXCEPT .Aswim with dolphinsBhave a hug with dolphinsCwatch

At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod. For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How

21、does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer. Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fishs blood and meas

22、ured its freezing point. The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of 1.88 and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to 2.05. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperat

23、ure of the icesalt mixture.The scientists next research job was clear: Find out what in the fishs blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange things made up of a protein (蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperat

24、ure. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point. Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules (分子) held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content, it is called a glyc

25、oprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein or AFGP. 语篇解读：本文主要讲述了对一种能够生活在南极冰冷海洋中的鱼的研究。9What is the text mainly about?AThe terrible conditions in the Antarctic.BA special fish living in freezing waters.CThe ice shelf around Antarctica.DProtection of the Antarctic cod.解析：选B主

26、旨大意题。本文主要讲述了对一种能够生活在南极冰冷的海水中的鱼的研究，因此B项是文章的中心意思。10Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature?AThe seawater has a temperature of 1.88.BIt loves to live in the icesalt mixture.CA special protein keeps it from freezing.DIts blood has a temperature lower than 2.05.解析：选C细节理解题。根据文中第五段的说明可以

27、知道：正是这种特殊的蛋白质使得这种鱼在南极海水中生活而不至于被冰冻。11What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?AA type of icesalt mixture.BA newly found protein.CFish blood.DSugar molecule.解析：选B代词指代题。根据文中的叙述可以判断出该物质就是帮助这种鱼生活在南极海水中的神奇的蛋白质。12What does “glyco” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean?AsugarBiceCblood Dmolecule解析：选A词义猜测题。根据“Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein.”这句话可以推断出前缀“glyco”应该和sugar有关。
