Unit5 Lesson3 同步练习（1）（解析版）阅读、完形填空、语法填空强化训练一．阅读理解（共8小题）AIn the past 50 years, the amount of water in the open ocean with zero oxygen has gone up more than fourfold. In coastal water bodies，including river mouths and seas, low-oxygen sites have increased more than tenfold since 1950.Scientists expect oxygen to continue dropping even outside these zones as Earth warms .“Oxygen is fundamental to life in the Oceans,” said Denise Breitburg, a marine ecologist with the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. “The decline in ocean oxygen ranks among the most serious effects of human activities on the Earth ’s environment. Actually, it's a great loss to all the support services that rely on recreation and tourism, including hotels and restaurants and taxi drivers and everything else. The reverberations(严重影响) of unhealthy ecosystems in the ocean can be extensive.”In areas traditionally called “dead zones" , like those in Chesapeake Bay and the Gulf of Mexico，oxygen plummets(大幅下跌) to so low levels that many animals die. As fish avoid these zones, their habitats become smaller and they’ re easier to be attacked or caught. But the problem goes far beyond “dead zones”. Even smaller oxygen decline can prevent growth in animals, hinder reproduction and lead to disease or even death. It also can cause the release of dangerous chemicals such as nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas up to 300 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. While some animals can boom in “dead zones”，overall biodiversity falls.Climate change is the key criminal in the open ocean. Warming surface waters make it harder for oxygen to reach the inside of the ocean. Furthermore, as the ocean as a whole gets warmer, it holds less oxygen. In coastal waters, too much nutrient pollution from land creates algal blooms, which use up oxygen as they die and break down.People's livelihoods are also on the line, the scientists reported, especially in developing nations. Smaller fisheries(渔场)may be unable to relocate when low oxygen destroys their harvests or forces fish to move elsewhere. So we humans have to carry on a war now and win the war.1．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A．The ocean has been losing its oxygen.B．The amount of sea water is increasing. C．The coastal water bodies are dangerous.D．The Earth becomes warmer and warmer. 2．What can we infer from Denise Breitburg's words?A．Different oceans have different levels of oxygen.B．The decline in ocean oxygen has great influences.C．The future of tourism relies on the levels of ocean oxygen.D．The decrease in ocean oxygen is the most serious environment problem.3．How does the “dead zone" affect sea animals?A．It offers more food.B．It forms dangerous gas.C．It reduces their living areas.D．It produces more carbon dioxide.4．How can we win the war according to the text?A．By closing smaller fisheries.B．By controlling humans' bad activities.C．By improving people's living standards.D．By stopping nutrients entering the ocean.【答案与解析】1．A. 主旨大意题。
RhythmExperiment in FolkPart A Reading: Experiment in FolkBefore you start1. Do you know any famous musicians? Do you know the kind of music they play? Tell the class. Use the Key Words to help you.Read to learn2. Read the text and answer these questions.(1) What kind of music is Kong Xiangdong most famous for?(2) What did Kong achieve in 1986?(3) Why did Kong shave off his hair?3. Match the beginnings and endings of the sentences according to the text.(1) Music has always been an imortant part of Kong‟s life.(2) Kong wanted to play Chinese folk music .(3) Kong became an award-winning musician in 1986 .a) Because he perserved through hardship.b) Because his mother was a great music lover.c) Because he wanted to try something new.Kong goes for folk!The famous classical pianist, Kong Xiangdong, surprised his fans last week by giving a concert combining classical music with Chinese folk music. Kong explained that he tried this because he wanted to create something new. “As a musician, playing the same music in different cities of the world is veryboring,” says Kong. He also feels that playing Chinese folk music on the piano ca n help bring it to the rest of the world.Music has always been part of Kong‟s world. As his mother was a great music lover, he lived with music from birth. But it wasn‟t always easy for the young Kong Xiangdong. His mother couldn‟t buy him a piano until he was seven. She had to draw piano keys on a piece of paper so that he could learn to play as early as possible. The 5-year-old Kong would practise on the paper piano as his mother clapped the rhythm. He was made to practise the piano so much that, at times, he thought about giving up. However, he didn‟t quit, and he became a great pianist. In 1986, at the age of 18, he became the youngest prize winner in Mosco w‟s Tchaikovsky International Competition. He went on to win awards in competitions across the world.Because of Kong‟s talent and hard work, he became famous worldwide. But after years of performing, he felt that in some ways he had lost his identity. This is why he went back to his root s and rediscover ed the beauty in Chinese folk music. He began experimenting with different styles and his Dream Tour Concert is the result.Kong‟s new experiment in Chinese folk music is so important to him that he even changed his appearance. When he arrived at his concert last week, he had shave d off all his hair! Since his music style was new, he decided his hairstyle had to be new too!Whether Kong is changing his appearance or transform ing his music, he is a pioneer in music today. The concern last week was such a success that Kong‟s Dream Tour Concert is expected to run for the next two years in Beijing, Shanghai, and other main cities before going to Paris and New York.Voice your opinion4. What kinds of music do you know? Which type of concert would you prefer to go to, classical or Chinese folk music? Give your reasons.课后作业1. 选择正确的词组并以正确的形式填空。
