7. This passage wuld mst likely be fund in _________?
8. The authr’s attitude tward …is _________?
9. The tne f the passage can best be described as _________?
这些提问方式的答案一般在短文中不可能直接找到，必须根据提问中的某些关键字眼与短文中相应的有关内容加以逻辑推理或演算，从而得出某些作者并未说明却已在字里行间所暗含的意思及观点。具体的说，考生应当注意以下几点：
1. 首先要注意一定要忠实于原文，以文章提供的事实和线索为依据。立足已知，推断未知，遵循“词不离句，句不离段，段不离篇”的原则。千万不能主观臆想，凭空想象，随意揣测，更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点。
2. 要吃透文章的字面意思，从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索，这是推理的前提和基础。有的推断，考生完全可以根据文章中所阐述的细节，再结合自己所掌握的基础知识、有关背景知识或常识来帮助进行分析、推敲，从而得出符合文章原意的结论。
3. 要对文字的表面信息进行挖掘加工，由表及里，由浅入深，从具体到抽象，从特殊到一般，通过分析、综合、判断等，进行深层处理，合乎逻辑地推理。不能就事论事，断章取义，以偏概全。
4. 要把握句、段之间的逻辑关系，了解语篇的结构，同时还要体会文章的基调，揣摩作者的态度，摸准逻辑发展方向，悟出作者的言外之意。
5. 在解答推理性问题时，一定要注意确定推理依据的位置或范围。应清楚所要解答的问题需要针对某个细节进行推断，还是针对主题思想、作者的意图进行推断。针对细节的推断可运用scanning的方法，迅速在材料中确定推理依据的位置或范围，然后再进行推理判断。针对主题思想作推断时，则常常要纵览全篇文章。
推理判断题常见有以下形式：
1．细节推断题
要求考生根据语篇关系，推断具体细节，如时间、地点、人物关系、人物身份、事件、具体信息等。考生要从文章本身所提供的信息出发，抓住关键的信息词，运用逻辑思维，并借助一定的常识进行分析、推理、判断。

His teacher, Thmas Whaley, is next t him, whispering supprt.“…Vte fr …me …”Except fr sme stumbles, Chris is ding amazingly well. When he brings his speech t a nice cnclusin, Whaley invites the rest f the class t praise him.
A sn f immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little ver three years ag. Whaley recalls(回想起) hw at the beginning f the year, when called upn t read, Chris wuld excuse himself t g t the bathrm.
Learning English as a secnd language can be a painful experience. What yu need is a great teacher wh lets yu make mistakes. “It takes a lt fr any student,” Whaley explains, “especially fr a student wh is learning English as their new language, t feel cnfident enugh t say, ‘I dn’t knw, but I want t knw.’”
Whaley gt the idea f this secnd-grade presidential campaign prject when he asked the children ne day t raise their hands if they thught they culd never be a president. The answer brke his heart. Whaley says the prject is abut mre than just learning t read and speak in public. He wants these kids t learn t bast(夸耀) abut themselves.
“Basting abut yurself, and yur best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult fr a child wh came int the classrm nt feeling cnfident.”
26. We can infer that the purpse f Whaley’s prject is t _________.

C. prepare students fr their future jbs
D. inspire students’ lve fr plitics
27. Which f the fllwing best describes Whaley as a teacher?

【语篇解读】本文属于记叙文，讲述Thmas Whaley为了帮助学生学英语以及树立信心专门开展了一个演讲课程。
26. A
【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Whaley says the prject is abut mre than just learning t read and speak in public. He wants these kids t learn t bast abut themselves.以及最后一段 “basting abut yurself, and yur best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult fr a child wh came int the classrm nt feeling cnfident.”可知，这个课程不仅仅教孩子阅读以及公共演讲，还要让孩子学会夸耀自己，而夸耀自己对于那些进入教室没有信心的学生来说很困难，故可知，Whaley老师这么做是为了帮助学生认识自己的优势增加信心，故选A。
27. C
【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Whaley gt the idea f this secnd-grade presidential campaign prject when he asked the children ne day t raise their hands if they thught they culd never be a president.和最后一段He wants these kids t learn t bast abut themselves可知，当他有一天问学生认为自己当不了总统请举手的时候，想到了一个想法，这个课程就是帮助学生树立自己的信心，故可以看出这位老师很关心学生的成长。humrus 幽默的，ambitius 有雄心壮志的；caring关心的；demanding要求高的。故选C。
2．因果推断题
要求考生根据已知结果推测导致结果的可能原因或根据已有的原因推断可能的结果。考生要准确掌握文章的内涵，理解文章的真正含义。最关键的是要找准事物间存在的因果关系信息，根据已有信息，进行分析判断推理，从而推出最符合逻辑的原因或判断出最可能导致的结果。
【典例示例】（2019·全国卷III，C）
Befre the 1830s, mst newspapers were sld thrugh annual subscriptins in America, usually $8 t $10 a year. Tday $8 r $10 seems a small amunt f mney, but at that time these amunts were frbidding t mst citizens. Accrdingly, newspapers were read almst nly by rich peple in plitics r the trades. In additin, mst newspapers had little in them that wuld appeal t a mass audience. They were dull and visually frbidding. But the revlutin that was taking place in the 1830s wuld change all that.
The trend, then, was tward the "penny paper"-a term referring t papers made widely available t the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps mre imprtantly it meant newspapers that culd be bught in single cpies n the street.
This develpment did nt take place vernight. It had been pssible(but nt easy)t buy single cpies f newspapers befre 1830,but this usually meant the reader had t g dwn t the printer’s ffice t purchase a cpy. Street sales were almst unknwn. Hwever, within a few years, street sales f newspapers wuld be cmmnplace in eastern cities. At first the price f single cpies was seldm a penny-usually tw r three cents was charged-and sme f the lder well-knwn papers charged five r six cents. But the phrase "penny paper" caught the public’s fancy, and sn there wuld be papers that did indeed sell fr nly a penny.
This new trend f newspapers fr "the man n the street" did nt begin well. Sme f the early ventures(企业) were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, peple wh were wners f successful papers, had little desire t change the traditin. It tk a few yuthful and daring businessmen t get the ball rlling.
29. What did street sales mean t newspapers?
A. They wuld be priced higher.B. They wuld disappear frm cities.
C. They culd have mre readers.D. They culd regain public trust.
31. What can we say abut the birth f the penny paper?
A. It was a difficult prcess.B. It was a temprary success.
C. It was a rbbery f the pr.D. It was a disaster fr printers.
【语篇解读】本文为说明文。文章叙述了“便士报纸”的诞生历史。
29. C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段提到“便士报纸”针对大众，很便宜的。更重要的是，在街上可以买的到报纸。 结合第三段中间的“streets sales f newspapers wuld be cmmnplaced in eastern cities”可知，报纸的街头销售随处可见。由此可推断出，街头销售意味读报纸的多了。分析选项可知C符合题，故选C。
31. A
【解析】推理判断题。第二段“The trend, then, was ‘penny paper’”及最后一段“The new trend f newspapers fr ‘the man n the street’ did nt begin well. Sme f the early ventures were immediately failures. Publishers already in business, peple wh wners f successful papers, had little desires t change the traditin. It tk a few yuthful and daring businessmen t get the ball rlling.”可知，“便士报纸”新趋势一开始并不好，一些早期的尝试立即失败了。已经进入商业领域的成功的出版商，并不想改变这一传统。后来一些年轻而大胆的商人才推动了这件事。由此可推断出“便士报纸”的诞生是一个困难而曲折的过程。分析选项可知，A项符合题意，故选A。
3．人物性格、心情处境、态度及观点等推断题

【典例示例】
Parents shuld stp blaming themselves because there’s nt a lt they can d abut it. I mean the teenager(十几岁的孩子) prblem. Whatever yu d r hwever yu chse t deal with it, at certain times a wnderful, reasnable and helpful child will turn int a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds f different ways. One strict mther insisted that her sn, right frm a child, shuld stand up whenever anyne entered the rm, pen drs and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called rund. Sprawling himself(懒散地躺) n the sfa in full length, he made n attempt t turn ff the lud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was n mre than a quick glance at me. His mther was ashamed. “I dn’t knw what t d with him these days,” she said. “He’s frgtten all the manners we taught him.”
He hasn’t frgtten them. He’s just decided that he’ s nt ging t use them. She cnfessed(坦白) that she wuld like t cme up behind him and thrw him dwn frm the sfa nt the flr.
Anther gd friend f mine let her tw daughters climb all ver the furniture, reach acrss the table, stare at me and say, “I dn’t like yur dress; it’s ugly.” One f the daughters has recently been driven ut f schl. The ther has left hme.
“Where did we g wrng?” her parents are nw very sad. Prbably nwhere much. At least, n mre than the rest f that unfrtunate race, parents.
1. The by n the sfa wuld mst prbably be described as ______.
A. lazy B. quiet C. unusual D. rude
2. Frm the secnd example we can infer that the parents f the tw daughters ______.

A. Parents have n chice but t try t accept it.
B. Parents shuld pay still sre attentin t the change.
C. Parents shuld wrk mre clsely with schl teachers.
D. Parents are at fault fr the change in their children.
【答案与解析】
1.D 此题属于对人物性格的推断，根据文中第二段“One strict mther insisted that her sn, right frm a child, shuld stand up whenever anyne entered the rm, pen drs and shake hands like a gentleman. ”以及其后的细节描述和该段最后一句话可知，以为严厉的母亲想把她的孩子培养成绅士，但是她的孩子后来对客人的表现却是不礼貌。
2. D 此题属于对“人物心情处境的推断”。根据最后一段，“‘Where did we g wrng?’ her parents are nw very sad.”一句可推测这两位父母对他们学坏的女儿无可奈何，因此正确答案为D。
3.A 此题属于“对态度及观点的推断”，文中第一句话“Parents shuld stp blaming themselves because there’s nt a lt they can d abut it.”就表明了作者的观点，父母不应当总是为此事而责怪自己。应当采取措施面对这个事情。然后最后又用了“Prbably nwhere much. At least, n mre than the rest f that unfrtunate race, parents.”做总结，表明父母们不得不接受这个不好的事实。
4．篇章结构推断题
根据不同文章的内容和写作目的，作者会采取记叙、描写、议论、说明或应用文体。作者也会采用叙述、例证、比较对照等不同的组织结构。不同文体的阅读难度、要求和任务不同，阅读方法也应不同。增强对篇章结构的理解能力有助于提高阅读质量。

【典例示例】（2019·北京卷，D）
By the end f the century，if nt sner，the wrld’s ceans will be bluer and greener thanks t a warming climate，accrding t a new study.
At the heart f the phenmenn lie tiny marine micrrganisms(海洋微生物)called phytplanktn. Because f the way light reflects ff the rganisms，these phytplanktn create clurful patterns at the cean surface. Ocean clur varies frm green t blue，depending n the type and cncentratin f phytplanktn. Climate change will fuel the grwth f phytplanktn in sme areas, while reducing it in ther spts，leading t changes in the cean’s appearance.
Phytplanktn live at the cean surface, where they pull carbn dixide(二氧化碳)int the cean while giving ff xygen. When these rganisms die，they bury carbn in the deep cean，an imprtant prcess that helps t regulate the glbal climate. But phytplanktn are vulnerable t the cean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics f the cean and can affect phytplanktn grwth，since they need nt nly sunlight and carbn dixide t grw，but als nutrients.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz，a scientist in MIT’s Center fr Glbal Change Science，built a climate mdel that prjects changes t the ceans thrughut the century. In a wrld that warms up by 3℃，it fund that multiple changes t the clur f the ceans wuld ccur. The mdel prjects that currently blue areas with little phytplanktn culd becme even bluer. But in sme waters，such as thse f the Arctic，a warming will make cnditins riper fr phytplanktn，and these areas will turn greener. “Nt nly are the quantities f phytplanktn in the cean changing. ”she said，“but the type f phytplanktn is changing. ”
45. What is the main purpse f the passage?
A. T assess the cnsequences f cean clur changes
B. T analyse the cmpsitin f the cean fd chain
C. T explain the effects f climate change n ceans
D. T intrduce a new methd t study phytplanktn
【语篇解读】本文为说明文。一项最新研究表明，由于气候变暖，世界海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿。这一现象是因为一种叫做浮游植物的微小海洋微生物，因为光线反射的作用，它们在海洋表面形成了五颜六色的图案。但是浮游植物很容易受到海洋变暖趋势的影响。气候变暖会改变海洋的主要特征，并影响浮游植物的生长。
45. C
【解析】目的意图题。第一段提出文章的主旨“By the end f the century. If nt sner, the wrld’s ceans will be bluer and greener thanks t a warming climate, accrding t a new study.”可知到本世纪末。一项新的研究表明，由于气候变暖，如果不尽快的话，世界上的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿。再结合第三段“But phytplanktn are vulnerable t the cean’s warning trend Warming changes key characteristics f the cean and can affect phytplanktn grwth, …”可知，“浮游植物很容易受到海洋警告趋势的影响，变暖改变了海洋的关键特征，并能影响浮游植物的生长”。可知本文主要解释气候变化对海洋的影响。故选C。
6.写作目的推断题
这类题的题干中常有purpse，或者后面接有目的的动词不定式，如：intend t, meant t, in rder t等。我们可以根据文章的主旨和体裁来判断作者的目的和态度。

Famus American pet Rbert Frst nce said, “Petry is what gets lst in translatin.” Althugh it is nt impssible t translate petry, Xu Yuanchng, a well-knwn Chinese translatr, has striven t cnvey the beauty f ancient Chinese petry thrughut his life.
His teacher Qian Zhngshu cmmented n his petry translatin, “Yu are dancing while chained by rhyme (押韵) and rhythm, but the dance shws amazing freedm and beauty, which is quite extrardinary.”
Xu has just turned 100 years ld. On April 1, China Translatin and Publishing Huse published a series f cmmemrative (纪念的) bks abut his life and career t pay tribute t this centenarian.
Since 1978, Xu has published mre than 100 translated nvels, anthlgies (选集) and plays in Chinese, English and French, reaching ptentially millins f readers at hme and abrad. Mst ntably, he translated Chinese pems int rhymed verses in bth English and French. He is als the first Asian winner f the “Aurra Brealis Prize” fr Outstanding Translatin f Fictin Literature.
Xu is knwn t be very fastidius in his wrk. He has dedicated his life t“[translating] beautifully”. Fr him, English is a “scientific” language that demands accuracy, while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range f cntent. Fllwing this principle, Xu nt nly keeps faithfulness in sense but beauty in sensibility in his translatin.
Thrugh Xu’s translatins, time-hnred Chinese wisdm has made an impact n Western scieties and the wrld at large.
Fr instance, when frmer US president Barack Obama tried t begin a cntrversial healthcare refrm during his presidency, sme senatrs (参议员) were ppsed at first. But after reading the pem titled Fishing in Snw (《江雪》) translated by Xu, ne senatr was s impressed with the fisherman’s independent, nn-cnfrmist (不墨守成规的) thinking that he chse t part with the party line t supprt Obama, nted NewsChina.
Having made such great achievements, the 100-year-ld remains diligent. He lives alne in an ld huse near Peking University. In his simple rm, decrated with Chinese traditinal furniture, he maintains a rutine. Every day he translates rughly 1,000 wrds, wrking till 3 t 4 am, sleeping abut 3 hurs and getting up at 6 am t cntinue.
“Translatin is a means f cmmunicating with the writer’s sul. A sudden flicker (闪现) f [a] gd wrd r [a] gd line thrills every pre (毛孔) and every inch f my skin,” Xu tld NewsChina.

【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要向读者介绍了著名翻译家许渊冲先生在诗歌翻译方面的成就以及他的影响力。
1. 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Xu Yuanchng, a well-knwn Chinese translatr, has striven t cnvey the beauty f ancient Chinese petry thrughut his life.(著名中文翻译家许渊冲一生都致力于传达中国古代诗歌的美)”第四段的“Since 1978, Xu has published mre than 100 translated nvels, anthlgies (选集) and plays in Chinese(自1978年以来，许已经出版了100多部中文翻译小说、选集和戏剧)”以及“Mst ntably, he translated Chinese pems int rhymed verses in bth English and French. (最值得注意的是，他把中文诗歌翻译成英语和法语的押韵诗歌)”可知，许渊冲以其翻译过的押韵诗而闻名。故选C项。
2. 词句猜测题。根据第五段的“He has dedicated his life t “[translating] beautifully”. Fr him, English is a “scientific” language that demands accuracy, while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range f cntent. Fllwing this principle, Xu nt nly keeps faithfulness in sense but beauty in sensibility in his translatin. (他一生都致力于“优美的翻译”。对他来说，英语是一种要求准确的“科学”语言，而汉语是一种包含更广泛内容的“艺术”语言。按照这一原则，徐在翻译中不仅保持忠诚，而且保持感性的美)”可知， 他不仅仅致力于翻译要忠实原文的意义，还力求保持翻译出诗歌细腻的美。因此推断，许对于他的作品很讲究。故划线词与Particular意为“讲究的，挑剔的”意思相近。故选A项。
3. 推理判断题。根据第六段的“Thrugh Xu’s translatins, time-hnred Chinese wisdm has made an impact n Western scieties and the wrld at large.(通过许的翻译，历史悠久的中国智慧对西方社会和整个世界产生了影响)”以及接下来第七段的“Fr instance”可推断，举例子是为了阐明他的作品在西方社会和世界有很大的影响力。故选B项。
4. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Having made such great achievements, the 100-year-ld remains diligent.(在取得了如此伟大的成就之后，这位100岁的老人仍然很勤奋)”以及倒数第一段的“Translatin is a means f cmmunicating with the writer’s sul. A sudden flicker (闪现) f [a] gd wrd r [a] gd line thrills every pre (毛孔) and every inch f my skin(翻译是一种与作者的灵魂交流的手段。一个好词或一句好台词的突然的闪现刺激我的每一个毛孔和每一寸皮肤)”可推断，许渊冲先生即使100岁高龄还每天要翻译作品，并且他认为翻译是与作者的灵魂交流的方式，突然的灵光闪现的感觉非常美妙，由此可见他对翻译事业的奉献和热爱。故选D。

In many cultures, it is cnsidered unlucky t spill salt. Frtunately, many cultures als have a slutin t the prblem, which usually invlves thrwing a pinch f salt ver yur shulder. It may seem cnfusing t mdern humans, but knwing that salt was nce incredibly valuable can change this perspective.
Fr thusands f years, salt was an extremely rare cmmdity. It was difficult t btain s that the price was very high. Many trading rutes were set up t carry salt, peple were paid in salt, and salt was smetimes wrth mre than its weight in gld. Therefre, spilling salt was cnsidered wasteful.
Because f its high value, salt was als assciated with friendship and gd frtune. Offerings f salt were included in many religius ceremnies, and peple might bring salt t a new hme fr gd luck. These assciatins wuld have suggested that it wuld be bad luck t spill salt, since it wuld seem t vilate salt’s frtunate prperties.
Salt is als an excellent preservative. It prevents fd frm ging bad. As such, it came t be linked with health and lngevity. In sme cultures, spilling salt was thught t reduce ne's well-being. In Britain, fr example, each spilled grain was said t represent a tear, while in Germany spilled salt awakened the devil, bringing misfrtune.
The fear f spilling salt was als adpted int the Christian faith. It is said that Judas spilled salt at the Last Supper, and since he later turned ut t be the betrayer f Christ, spilled salt is cnsidered unlucky by many Christians.
Shuld yu be unfrtunate enugh t spill salt, yu might thrw a pinch ver yur left shulder t blind the Devil.
5. Spilling salt was prbably thught t bring bad luck because ________.
A. it was a Christian faithB. salt was linked with misfrtune
C. it wuld decrease ne’s lifespanD. salt was always expensive than gld
6. What des the underlined wrd “preservative” prbably mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Prtectr.B. Flavr.C. Medium.D. Slutin.
7. What is the authr's purpse in writing the text?

【答案】5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上一些关于洒盐的观念以及应对方法。
5. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“As such, it came t be linked with health and lngevity. In sme cultures, spilling salt was thught t reduce ne's well-being. In Britain, fr example, each spilled grain was said t represent a tear, while in Germany spilled salt awakened the devil, bringing misfrtune.(因此，它与健康和长寿联系在一起。在一些文化中，洒盐被认为会降低幸福感。例如，在英国，每一粒洒下的谷物据说代表一滴眼泪，而在德国，洒下的盐唤醒了魔鬼，带来了不幸)”可知，人们可能认为撒盐会带来厄运，是因为这会缩短人的寿命。故选C。
6. 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“It prevents fd frm ging bad.(它可以防止食物变质)”可知，盐可以防止食物变质，所以是是一种很好的食物保护物，即划线词意思是“保护物”。A. Prtectr.保护物；B. Flavr.风味；C. Medium.中等；D. Slutin.解决方案。故选A。
7. 推理判断题。根据第一段“In many cultures, it is cnsidered unlucky t spill salt. Frtunately, many cultures als have a slutin t the prblem, which usually invlves thrwing a pinch f salt ver yur shulder. It may seem cnfusing t mdern humans, but knwing that salt was nce incredibly valuable can change this perspective.

In the magnificent range f muntains f nrthern Califrnia, 42 radi telescpes pint twards the stars, scanning fr signs f life. The Search fr Extraterrestrial Intelligence （SETI） Institute has been listening fr a signal here since it was funded in 1984. Jill Tarter, its c — funder, says the prgrammed aim is nt just t cmmunicate with remte civilisatins. It is als t remind human beings f its wn mdest, fragile （脆弱的）place in the universe. Thus, fr the first time, SETI is ccking its ear twards Earth t lk fr a signal that can be sent int space t represent the species.
Felipe Perez Santiag, a Mexican musician and cmpser, has an idea f what might wrk.Since sngs, like the human vices, are cmmn t all languages and natins, he and Ms. Tarter have designed the “Earthling Prject”-a call t peple everywhere t uplad extracts （精华）f sng that he plans t melt int a cllective human chrus. An initial cmpsitin will be launched int space this summer, recrded n a virtually indestructible disk. Future plans and dreams include an eventual landing n Mars.
Human music has been sent t the heavens in 1977. Distant beings can in thery already enjy Peruvian panpipes, a Navaj chant, Bach, Beethven and mre. But n previus ffering, and perhaps n cmpsitin undertaken anywhere, has tried t encmpass the entire diversity f human sng.
Mr. Santiag says he is thrilled abut bringing tgether cntributrs frm arund the glbe. Unlike ther recrdings sent int space, says Mr. Santiag, “Everyne's invited. Yu dn't have t be ne f the main cmpsers f ur histry like Beethven, just smene singing in their shwer.” Dwnlad the “Earthling Prject" app, sing up t three sngs f 30 secnds each, and yur vice will be sent int the sky.
8. Why des SETI lk fr a signal t be sent int space?
A. T stand fr species n the earth.
B. T scan fr ther liveable planets.
C. T respnd t the call f the universe.
D. T stress the imprtance f the earth.
9. What can we infer abut the "Earthling Prject”?
A. It is a wrld music rganizatin.
B. It intends t create a human chrus.
C. It tries t develp a universal language.
D. It aims t search fr signals frm space.
10. What des the underlined wrd “encmpass" in Paragraph 3 mean?

Flcks f hundreds f regent hneyeaters（王吸蜜鸟）culd nce be sptted all ver suth-eastern Australia n a regular basis, but tday the species is critically endangered, with nly 300 believed t exist in the entire wrld. They were als knwn fr the cmplexity f their mating sngs, but as their numbers started declining, scientists started nticing male regent hneyeaters didn’t even sund like their species anymre. Tday, there is enugh evidence that regent hneyeaters have frgtten hw t sing, which culd cause the entire species t g extinct.
At ne pint, Australian scientists nticed that male regent hneyeaters were imitating（模仿）the sngs f ther bird species. Sme experts believed that the imitatin was a purpseful strategy t avid attacks frm their enemies. Hwever, a recent study shwed therwise. Yung regent hneyeaters learn their sngs frm adult members f their species, just like human children learn t speak, but because they are spread s thin in their habitat-they culd ccupy prbably 10 times the size f the UK but are really small in quantity-many males dn’t get t listen t the right sngs, s they start adpting the tunes f ther bird species. The prblem is that these aren’t the sngs female regent hneyeaters want t hear, s their chances f finding a mate are very slim.
Scientists are nw planning t catch wild males that can sing and put them next t caged regent hneyeaters s that the yung birds can learn the right sng. They then plan t release them int the wild every few years, where they will hpefully be able t attract females and reprduce.
“This study shws hw damaging ppulatin declines and habitat fragmentatin（碎片）might be t this critical prcess in the life f sngbirds,” said Dr Sue Zllinger, an expert in animal cmmunicatin frm Manchester Metrplitan University.
16. Why are regent hneyeaters faced with extinctin?
A. They are shrt f fd.B. They are incapable f imitatin.
C. Their habitats are badly destryed.D. Male birds fail t sing the right sngs.
17. What is paragraph 2 intended t d?
A. Analyse the reasn.B. Draw a cnclusin.
C. Present the prblem.D. Add sme backgrund.
18. What are scientists ding t help the hneyeaters?
A. Bradcasting mating sngs t the yung birds.
B. Intrducing wild birds t teach caged nes.
C. Training them t escape frm the enemies.
D. Spreading them in different habitats.
19. Why des the writer mentin Dr Sue Zllinger’s wrds?
A. T indicate the difficulty f catching wild birds.
B. T ffer sme strategies fr animal cmmunicatin.
C. T pint ut the critical tunes f the bird’s mating sngs.
D. T stress the significance f an ideal ppulatin per habitat.

Bangladesh's flating gardens, built t grw fd during fld seasns, culd ffer a cntinuus slutin fr parts f the wrld which are likely t suffer frm flding because f climate change, a new study has fund.
Bangladesh's flating gardens began hundreds f years ag. The gardens are made frm native plants that flat in the rivers and perate almst like rafts (筏), rising and filling with the waters. Histrically, they were used t cntinue grwing fd during rainy seasns when rivers were filled with water.
The farmers layer the plants abut three feet deep, creating a versin f raised-bed gardens that flat in the water. Then, they plant vegetables inside thse rafts. As the raft-plants rt away, they release nutrients, which help feed the vegetable plants.
But as climate change affected the vlume f water in thse rivers, the researchers wanted t understand whether Bangladesh's flating gardens culd be a cntinuus farming practice. They interviewed farming families and fund strng evidence that flating gardens prvide stability, bth in the amunt f fd available t feed rural ppulatins and in a farming family's incme.
They fund that farmers typically use hybrid (杂交) seeds, which must be repurchased each year, t grw a diverse range f vegetables in the flating gardens. The gardens are als sensitive t pests, s farmers end up spending sme mney n bth pesticides and fertilizers. But even with thse expenses, they fund, benefits utweighed csts. One farmer tld the research team that he earns up t fur times as much mney frm the gardens as frm traditinal rice fields.
Hwever, befre gaining prfits, farmers ften take ut high-interest lans (贷款) t cver the investment csts f filling the beds and stcking them with plants. Luckily; there are als lwer-interest lans frm respnsible gvernment r nn-gvernmental rganizatins, which culd ease that burden.
24. Hw d vegetable plants grw accrding t the text?
A. By absrbing nutritin frm raft-plants.
B. By taking shelter frm climate change.
C. By living tgether with hybrid seeds.
D. By mving up and dwn with raised beds.
25. What might be a reply frm farming families interviewed?
A. “Our life becmes tugh when rivers fld.”
B. “Fewer vegetables are planted when water rises.”
C. “We harvest much mre fd during rainy seasns.”
D. “Climate change has little influence n ur incme.”
26. What des the underlined wrd “utweighed” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Affected.B. Brught.C. Beat.D. Equaled.
27. What can be inferred frm the text?
A. A slutin t climate prblem has been fund.
B. The gardens are built with rtted native plants.
C. Farmers earn mre frm traditinal rice fields.
D. Lw-interest lans lighten the stress f farmers.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. D
【解析】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了孟加拉国为在汛期种植粮食而建造的浮动花园。
24. 细节理解题。根据文章“they plant vegetables inside thse rafts. As the raft-plants rt away, they release nutrients, which help feed the vegetable plants.（他们在木筏里种蔬菜。当木筏植物腐烂时，它们会释放营养物质，帮助植物生长。）”可知，蔬菜植物是吸收木筏植物的营养生长的。故选A项。
25. 细节理解题。根据文章“They interviewed farming families and fund strng evidence that flating gardens prvide stability, bth in the amunt f fd available t feed rural ppulatins and in a farming family's incme.（他们采访了农业家庭，发现了强有力的证据表明，无论是在可供农村人口食用的食物量方面，还是在农业家庭的收入方面，浮动花园都提供了稳定性。）”可知，农业家庭收入很稳定，所以气候变化对收入影响不大。故选D项。
26. 词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“One farmer tld the research team that he earns up t fur times as much mney frm the gardens as frm traditinal rice fields.”可知，一位农民告诉研究小组，他从菜园中赚到的钱是从传统稻田中赚到的钱的四倍，故此处想表达的是即使农民最终会在杀虫剂和肥料上花一些钱，但是收益也会大于成本。故utweighed意为“大于”。故选C项。
27. 推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“Hwever, befre gaining prfits, farmers ften take ut high-interest lans (贷款) t cver the investment csts f filling the beds and stcking them with plants. Luckily; there are als lwer-interest lans frm respnsible gvernment r nn-gvernmental rganizatins, which culd ease that burden.（然而，在获得利润之前，农民往往会获得高息贷款(贷款) 以支付填充床和储存植物的投资成本。幸运的是；负责任的政府或非政府组织也提供低息贷款，可以减轻这种负担。）”可推知，作者想表达负责任的政府或非政府组织提供低息贷款，减轻了农民的压力。故选D项。
