Birds flying to the other side of the Atlantic or to the Pacific to lay their eggs have been trapped in Britain and Ireland, adding their numbers to native species, and causing great excitement in the bird-watching community. Local birdwatchers have already observed a total of 442 species in the British Isles this year. The highest number ever seen in one year is 445, in 2008. “We only need four more to break our record,” said Lee Evans, who runs the British Birding Association. “With three months to go I’m sure we’ll do it.” Last month an extremely rare Siberian Rubythroat bird was seen in Scotland, sending hundreds of birdwatchers north in the hope of catching a glimpse of this colourful Asian beauty. Another very uncommon bird, the bufflehead duck was cited in Cornwell and caused similar excitement. “I couldn’t believe it,” said Evans. “The poor thing was completely knackered. It must have been blown to England by the storms while trying to fly from Canada to the southern United States for the winter. That’s 3000 miles!” Evans said that global warming over the past decade was playing a key role in transforming bird movements across the world. In addition, melting Arctic sea ice may also be opening up bird flight paths over the North Pole, making it easier for birds from the Pacific — such as the slaty-backed gull and tufted puffin, both of which appeared in London earlier this year — to reach Britain. Bird-watching is becoming an increasingly popular hobby among all age groups, added Evans. “A fifth of our members are under 18. This is a round-the-year hobby that you can enjoy from the kitchen window or from a car. More and more people are bird-watching, and as a result more and more unexpected species are being spotted in the British Isles.” 1. What is the passage mainly about? A. The results of global warming. B. Changes in the British bird population. C. Increasing environmental pollution. D. Worsening British weather. 2. The underlined word “knackered” is closest in meaning to __________. A. bored B. knocked C. spotted D. tired 3. How many more bird species are needed to equal the British bird-watching record? A. 3. B. 4. C. 442. D. 445. 4. According to the passage, which of the following birds comes from Asia? A. Slaty-backed gull. B. Bufflehead. C. Rubythroat. D. Tufted puffin. 5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible reason for seeing more bird species in Britain? A. An increase in the number of birdwatchers. B. A growth in the number of native species. C. Storms due to global warming. D. The melting Arctic ice cap. 【參考答案】1—5、BDACB 【廣東省2012屆高三考前沖刺卷(三)】C Technology has been an encouragement of historical change.It acted as such a force in England beginning in the eighteenth century，and across the entire Western World in the nineteenth.Rapid advances were made in the use of scientific findings in the manufacture(制造) of goods，which has changed ideas about work.One of the first changes was that other forms of energy have taken the place of human power.Along with this came the increased use of machines to manufacture products in less time.People also developed machines that could produce the same parts for a product：each nail was exactly like every other nail，meaning that each nail could be changed for every other nail.This means that goods could be mass production，although mass production required breaking production down into smaller and smaller tasks. Once this was done，workers no longer started on the product and laboured to complete it.Instead，they might work only one thousandth of it，other workers completing their own parts in certain order.There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by today’s standards.Highly skilled workers were unable to compare with the new production techniques，as mass production allowed goods of high standard to be produced in greater number than could ever be done by hand.But the skilled worker wasn’t the only loser，the common workers lost too.Similar changes forced farmers away.The increased mechanization(機械化) of agriculture freed masses of workers from ploughing the land and harvesting its crops.They had little choice but to stream toward the rapidly developing industrial centers.Increasingly，standards were set by machines.Workers no longer owned their own tools，their skill was no longer valued，and pride in their work was no longer possible.Workers fed，looked after and repaired the machines that could work faster than humans at greatly reduced cost. 36．In this passage，which of the following is NOT considered as a change caused by the use of scientific findings in the production of goods? A．Other forms of energy have taken the place of human power. B．The increased exploitation of workers in the 19th century. C．The increased use of machines to make products in less time. D．The use of machines producing parts of the same standard. 37．The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to________. A．the use of scientific findings B．the practice of producing the same parts for a product C．the human power being replaced by other forms of energy D．the technology becoming the encouragement of historical change 38．The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refers to the change that________. A．each nail could be taken the place of by every other nail B．each nail was exactly like every other nail C．producing tasks became smaller and smaller D．goods could be mass produced 39．According to the writer，highly skilled workers________. A．completely disappeared with the coming of the factory system B．were dismissed by the boss C．were unable to produce goods of high standard D．were unable to produce fine goods at that same speed as machines 40．According to the passage，what did the farmers have to do with the coming of mechanization of agriculture? A．Many of them had to leave their farmland for industrial centers. B．They stuck to their farm work. C．They refused to use machines. D．They did their best to learn how to use the machines. 36．B　[原文中并未說對工人剝削的增加，故選項B為正確答案。] 37．C　[倒置的一個主要目的就是使句子間連接緊密，因此單詞this指上一句的內容。] 38．D　[在條件句中，this 指上文的內容：貨物批量生產。] 39．D　[可從第二段第四句知道D項為正確答案。] 40．A　[可根據第二段第六句及第八句判斷A項為正確答案。] 高考英語沖刺閱讀理解專項 Starving polar bears are eating one another in the Arctic. Flowers are blooming too soon and die. The ice caps are melting so fast that rising water levels will threaten coastal towns along Florida within several decades. These are just a few examples of the serious consequences of climate change supported by a new analysis in Nature. In the past three decades, average global temperatures have risen about 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.6 degree Celsius) and are projected to jump by about 3 degrees F (1. 7 degrees C) by the end of the century, says study lead author Cynthia Rosenzweig, who heads the Climate Impacts Group at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies at Columbia University in New York City. "We've already seen that a relatively low amount of wanning," she says, "can result in a broad range of changes. " The unnatural warming caused by man-made greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide produced by cars and coal-powered plants, brings trouble for entire ecosystems. In North America alone, scientists have identified 89 species of plants, such as the American holly that have flowered earlier in the spring. In Spain, apple trees bloom 35 days ahead of schedule in response to the higher temperatures. Other wildlife, like the insects that use certain plants for food and the birds that feed on the insects, must then move forward their seasonal stirrings (萌動) and mating patterns to survive. To try to follow this time shift, some birds such as robins, the classic symbol of winter's thaw(解凍時期) , are returning to Colorado from their migrations (遷徙) some two weeks earlier than in years past. All these changes can throw a food chain in disorder. Some bird species that arrive before the insects reappear may starve to death. "Around the world, plants and animals are waking up to an earlier alarm clock than they used to," says Terry Root, a biologist from Stanford University. 1. What does the first paragraph mainly present to the readers? A. The survival of polar bears in the Arctic. B. The terrible situation for the coastal town along Florida. C. A brief description of what a warming world will look like. D. A new analysis of climate change in Nature. 答案解析：答案為C。本題為段落大意題。細讀第一段，先描述氣候變化的幾個嚴重后果的例子，最后進行概括總結，故答案為C。A，B選項都是后果之一，D選項不是第一段的重點。注意把握最后一句 “These are just a few examples of the serious consequences of…”, 答案就不難選擇。 2. According to the passage, what has happened to plants as a result of warming climate? A. Many species of plants have died out. B. Some flowers have appeared ahead of time. C. Apple trees have produced less fruit. D. Plants have provided no food to birds. 答案解析：答案為B。本題為細節(jié)推理題。由第三段 “In North America alone, scientists have identified 89 species of plants, such as the American holly that have flowered earlier in the spring. In Spain, apple trees bloom 35 days ahead of schedule...”可知，花卉提前開放。故答案為B。 3. What can be learnt about robins from the passage? A. They are good at telling the direction. B. They can predict the change of weather. C. They usually come back when spring comes. D. They have to move away for cool weather. 答案解析：答案為C。本題為細節(jié)推理題。由倒數第二段 “To try to follow this time shift, some birds such as robins, the classic symbol of winter's thaw, are returning to Colorado from their migrations some two weeks earlier than in years past.” 可知，robin鳥是冬天解凍時期的象征，比往年要早兩周回到Colorado，故可以推斷，這些鳥在春天天氣暖和后才回來，由于全球氣溫升高，他們可以早點回到Colorado。故答案為C。 4．What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Man-made warming changes nature’s clock. B. Global warming is unavoidable. C. Both plants and animals will change. D. People need to adapt to climate change. 答案解析：答案為A。本題為文章主旨大意題。結合全文內容，人類活動導致全球氣溫升高，造成了生態(tài)系統中動植物生物鐘的紊亂，最后一段 “Around the world, plants and animals are waking up to an earlier alarm clock than they used to,”再次點題。故答案為A。 【廣東省2012屆高三考前沖刺卷(三)】D “If there is one thing I’m sure about，it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturdays or Sundays.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.” The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories，the coverage of the wars，earthquakes and other disasters，will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research，though.It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering.In the future，I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are. It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu，making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news，etc. I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition among the different media.They actually feed_off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers，but that hasn’t happened.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet，it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen. 41．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Best Way to Get News B．The Changes of Media C．Make Your Own Newspaper D．The Future of Newspapers 42．In the writer’s opinion，in the future，________. A．more big political affairs，wars and disasters will make news B．newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer C．newspapers will cover more scientific research D．more and more people will watch TV 43．What will probably be in the newspaper made by yourself? A．Sports and international news. B．A menu of important news. C．The most important news. D．What you are interested in. 44．From the passage，we can infer________. A．newspapers will win the competition among the different media B．newspapers will stay with us together with other media C．television will take the place of newspapers D．the writer believes some media will die out 45．The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph probably means________. A．depend on B．compete with C．fight with D．kill off 41．D　[標題歸納題。根據文章第一句“100年后人們仍要讀報”，到后面文章講到報紙跟人們生活的關系、報紙的形式和內容，可歸納出此題的答案為D項。] 42．C　[細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第二段第三句可知此題答案為C項。] 43．D　[推理判斷題。根據文章第三段最后一句可推知此題答案為D項。] 44．B　[推理判斷題。根據文章第一段第三句及全文內容可推知此題答案為B項。] 45．A　[詞義猜測題。作者上一句說人們錯誤地認為各種不同的媒體相互競爭，以及feed off 所在句中的actually一詞，再結合所給的4個選項，可知A項最佳。] 8
