Question

At first sight, you would think the collection of hundreds of colored shards（碎片）could be a work of abstract art. But the objects are the contents of the stomach of a sea turtle that lost its battle with plastic pollution.
Environmentalists examined the stomach of the turtle found off the coast of Argentina. What they found is the symptom of the increasing threat to sea turtles from a human addiction to plastic.
Sea turtles often mistake plastic items for jellyfish or other food. Ingesting（攝取）ocean pollution can cause a digestive blockage and internal cuts. The result can be dangerous, followed by death.
Humans produce 260 million tons of plastic a year. When those products are pulled into the sea’s currents, the plastics are just broken into smaller pieces which are consumed by marine life at the bottom of the food chain. An examination of a green turtle found off Florida discovered that, over the course of a month, the animal’s faeces（糞便）had contained 74 foreign objects, including “four types of balloons, different types of hard plastic, a piece of carpet--like material and two 2--4 mm tar balls.”
“The oceans have become a giant refuse bin for all manner of plastics. All sea turtle species may be seriously harmed, “according to the biologists Colette Wabnitz, from the University of British Columbia. ”The symptom of this growing crisis can be seen inside and on sea turtles as well as their oceanic and terrestrial habitats. It is urgently necessary to directly confront the source of plastic pollution, redesign packaging and rethink the very idea of ‘throwaway culture’.”
Almost all marine species, from plankton to whales, have ingested plastic. But, even in small quantities, plastic can kill sea turtles, the biologists said.
Fifty out of 92 turtles found dead, stranded on the shorelines of Rio Grande do Sul state in Brazil, had ingested a “considerable amount of man-made debris”.

Answer 1

小題1:D
小題2:C
小題3:D
小題4:C

試題分析: 目前人類產(chǎn)生的垃圾越來越多，大量垃圾進入海里后，塑料等物品不會腐爛，只是會分解成小塊的物品而被海洋生物誤食，因而造成了海龜?shù)拇罅克劳�。在本文中作者就這個問題用譏諷的語言介紹了這種現(xiàn)象。
小題1:D。主旨大意題。文章開頭描述了海龜胃里面五顏六色的東西，指出這是海龜誤食的塑料垃圾等，然后在下文詳細介紹了垃圾對海龜造成的危害，由此判斷文章中心內(nèi)容是關(guān)于塑料垃圾對海龜?shù)奈：�，故答案選D。
小題2:C。推理判斷題。A贊揚的；B積極的；C諷刺的，反語的；D喜劇的。從文章倒數(shù)第三段. It is urgently necessary to directly confront the source of plastic pollution, redesign packaging and rethink the very idea of ‘throwaway culture’.”可以推斷作者對“throwaway culture”是持反對態(tài)度的，由此推斷作者是用諷刺的語氣，答案選C。
小題3:D。詞義猜測題。整篇文章介紹了海龜因誤食垃圾而大量死亡的情況，再根據(jù)…..had ingested a “considerable amount of man-made…. 推斷劃線的詞應(yīng)該指一種垃圾，故答案選D。
小題4:C。推理判斷題。文章開頭提出了海龜因誤食垃圾而死亡的問題，然后再對此進行分析，根據(jù)提出問題，分析問題，解決問題的寫作模式可以判斷作者接下來要討論的是如何去保護海龜，避免垃圾污染的問題， 故答案選C。
