19.Life is good for penguins in Antarctica(南極洲)at the end of the movie Happy Feet.Real-life penguins,though,have little to celebrate.
Twelve of the world's 19penguin species(種類)face serious dangers,according to wildlife experts.
They are in danger of disappearing from the earth,including emperor penguins.
"Many of the world's penguin species are in big trouble,"penguin expert Kassel Siegel told WR News.
Her wildlife group is asking the US government to protect the 12species of penguins in danger.Several countries are making efforts to make sure the rapidly increasing tourists in Antarctica do not cause environmental problems.
Overfishing is one reason for the problem.Penguins eat small fish and tiny animals called krill.Fishing boats are catching lots of krill.That leaves less food for penguins to eat.
Another reason for the decline(減少)in the number of penguins is global warming.Global warming is the slow increase in average temperature around the world.It is causing sea ice to melt.Penguins need the sea ice as a place to rest while they search for krill.
Scientists say global warming is caused when we drive cars or use electricity.That burns coal,oil,and natural gas.The burning of coal,oil,and natural gas gives off gases that add to the overheating of the earth."We can and must reduce gas emissions(排放)to keep penguins safe in the future,"says Siegel.
24.What would probably happen if people reduced their use of coal,oil,and natural gas?B
A.Penguins would have to move toother places to live.
B. Penguins would be less likely to disappear from the earth.
C.There would be more krill for penguins to eat.
D.t would save people a lot of money.
25.Which o the following are the reasons for the decline in the number of penguins?C
A.The development of tourism and overheating.
B.Overfishing and attacks from other animals.
C.Overfishing and overheating.
D.The develoment of tourism and attacks from other animals.
26.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A
A.Penguins mainly live on small fish and tiny animals which live in water.
B.Penguins need the sea ice as a place to feed their children.
C.Nineteen of the world's penguin species face serious dangers.
D.The US government has taken measures to protect the penguins in danger.
分析 文章主要講的是企鵝面臨滅絕的危險(xiǎn)及造成這種狀況的原因
解答 24.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章對(duì)氣候變暖會(huì)使企鵝滅絕的介紹及最后一段中的We can and must reduce gas emissions(排放)to keep penguins safe in the future"可知,減少煤、汽油等的使用,減少溫室氣體排放,可以使企鵝更安全,由此可以得出答案B符合文章描述.
25.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容Overfishing is one reason for the problem;Another reason for the decline(減少)in the number of penguins is global warming過度捕撈致使企鵝減少,地球變暖致使企鵝減少.因此C 項(xiàng)中overfishing與overheating這兩個(gè)原因符合題意.
26.A 推理判斷題.由第六段第二句Penguins eat small fish and tiny animals called krill.可知企鵝的食物是小魚兒和水底浮游生物,故選A.
