英语试卷

第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2分，满分 30 分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

Here’s a short piece from the September 2020 issue of the magazine, in the section called Advances on

Science, Technology and Medicine. And some stories are as follows from around the globe.

From Argentina:

The earliest dinosaurs laid soft-shelled eggs, scientists say. A new chemical analysis of a more than 200-

million-year-old fossilizedegg from Patagonia in South America — and a nest ofmore recent eggs from

Mongolia in Asia found in the Gobi Desert — revealed a thin film matching the characteristics of modern soft-

shelled eggs.

From England:

Scientists found that 20 deep water wells, previously thought to be natural sinkholes and ponds, were dug

by Neolithic humans. The wells form a circle two kilometers in diameter, with the Durrington Walls monument

at its center, just three kilometers from Stonehenge.

From Brazil:

Researchers documented the largest lightning ball ever recorded. The “mega-flash,” which extended for

more than 700 kilometers in southern Brazil in 2018, was detected by a new advanced weather satellite in

geostationaryorbit (静止轨道).

From Indonesia:

Scientists identified a rare nose-horned dragon lizard (蜥蜴) in the forests of North Sumatra. Despite

appearing in the mythology of the local Bataks, the visually striking species had been seen by scientists only

once before — almost 130 years ago.

From Australia:

Submarine drones (潜艇无人机) uncovered a branch system of underwater “rivers” of salty water along

Australia’s continental shelf. These flows carry organic matter from the coast into the deep ocean, and their

volume varies seasonally, peaking in winter.

1. What animals laid soft-shelled eggs according to the scientists?

A. The earliest dinosaurs. B. The ancient birds.

C. Dragon lizards. D. Monarch butterflies.

2. Deep water wells dug by Neolithic humans were previously thought to be ________.

A. water circles B. modern lakes

C. natural ponds D. man-made pools

3. From where can you get the information of the “mega-flash”?

A. From England B. From Brazil

C. From Indonesia D. From Australia

4. What can you infer about therare nose-horned dragon lizard?

A. It is hard to be seen. B. It is like a red dragon.

C. It is found by local people. D. It is a common animal.

5. A branch system of underwater “rivers” of salty water was uncovered ________.

A. off the long coast B. deep into the fantasticocean

C. in freezing cold winter D. along Australia’s continental shelf

【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 4. A 5. D

【解析】

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。本文是杂志 2020 年9月号的一篇短文，标题为“科学、技术和医学的进步”，

文章主要介绍了一些地区的新发现。

【1题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The earliest dinosaurs laid soft-shelled eggs, scientists say. (科学家说，最早的

恐龙产下的是软壳蛋)”可知，根据科学家的说法，最早的恐龙产下的是软壳蛋。故选 A项。

【2题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第三段 “ Scientists found that 20 deep water wells, previously thought to be natural

sinkholes and ponds, were dug by Neolithic humans. (科学家们发现，20 口深水井是由新石器时代的人类挖掘

的，此前这些水井被认为是自然天坑和池塘)”可知，新石器时代人类挖的深水井以前被认为是天然池塘。

故选 C项。

【3题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The “mega-flash,” which extended for more than 700 kilometers in southern

Brazil in 2018 (2018 年，巴西南部的“超级闪电”持续了 700 多公里)”可知，从巴西可以获得“mega-flash”

的信息。故选 B项。

【4题详解】

推理判断题。通过文章倒数第二段“the visually striking species had been seen by scientists only once before —

almost 130 years ago. (这种视觉上惊人的物种之前只被科学家看到过一次——大约 130 年前)”可推知，鼻

角龙蜥蜴非常稀有，很难被看到。故选 A项。

【5题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Submarine drones uncovered a branch system of underwater “rivers” of salty

water along Australia’s continental shelf. (潜艇无人机在澳大利亚大陆架上发现了一条水下咸水“河流”的分

支系统)”可知，沿澳大利亚大陆架发现了一条水下咸水“河流”的分支系统。故选 D项。

Does your family buy the week’s groceries including many bottled drinks into your home? Because after

having sports or hanging out under the sun, it’s so cool to get a cold one right out of the fridge, right?

But all those plastic bottles use a lot of oil and pollute the environment. Americans buy more bottled water

than any other nation in the world with 29 billion water bottles a year. In order to make all these bottles, 17

million barrels (桶) of oil will be used up. That is enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months.

Most people choose to throw the bottles away after having the bottled drinks. In fact, instead of going out

with the trash, plastic bottles can be turned into carpeting or clothing. Remember this: Recycling one plastic

bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt (瓦特) light bulb for six hours.

Unfortunately, for every six water bottles we use, only one is made recycling. The rest are sent as garbage.

Or, even worse, they end up as trash on the land or in rivers, oceans. Plastic bottles take many hundreds of years

to disintegrate (分解).

So why don’t more people drink water from the kitchen? Some people drink bottled water because they

think it is better for them, but that’s not true. The chemicals in the bottles themselves may get into the water

which can do harm to people.

So next time when you have drinks or water, please try to use a glass at home or carry water in a steel

bottle. And if you want to do something more, try to collect plastic bottles and send them for recycling.

6. What does the underlined “That” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. A million cars. B. 29 billion water bottles.

C A 60-watt light bulb. D. 17 million barrels of oil.

7. We can recycle plastic bottles to produce ________.

A. housing and furniture B. hats and shoes

C. carpeting or clothing D. pots and bowls

8. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?
