unit 23 conflict课时练12篇阅读1篇完形1篇应用文写作.阅读理解a(2020 北京怀柔区高三模拟) superstorm sandy slammed into the eastern united states a few years ago. the winddriven water caused a lot of flooding, especially in the regions subway system. now two teens have invented a device that could help prevent future subway floods.in new york city alone, superstorm sandy caused an estimated $19 billion in damage. much of the floodwaters entered the subway system through its ventilation grates (通风栅). those metal grills usually lie at ground level. when the system is shut down ahead of a flood, engineers try to cover those grates with plywood(胶合板) and sandbags. but the flooding often washes away those measures, which allows water to flow into the tunnels. raising those grates even a tiny bit above ground level would cost a lot of money. other ideas have included building tall chimneys around the holes. that would raise the grates and cost a lot of money, too.kyle and raymond came up with a different, less expensive idea. they designed a metal grate with a builtin, adjustable cover. when trains are running, one part of the grate slides open to bring in fresh air. but when the system is shut down, that part can be slid shut to completely block the grate.their grate is the same size as the grates used now. so, it would be simple, they say, to lift out the old grate and drop in a replacement. their design includes tamperproof features, which can prevent operation mistakes. they make sure that people dont intentionally shut off airflow during normal conditions. for people with the proper key, it would only take a minute or two to close the grate ahead of a flood.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了几年前超级风暴sandy猛烈袭击美国东部，造成了洪水灾害，当地的地铁被洪水淹没。为防止地铁再次被洪水淹没，两位少年发明了一种装置。1whats the second paragraph mainly about?athe steps to operate grates.bthe measures to prevent flood.cthe function of plywood and sandbags.dthe disadvantage of present subway

invention?acostly.btimesaving.cpractical. dconventional.c解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段第一、二句“their grate is the same size as the grates used now. so, it would be simple, they say, to lift out the old grate and drop in a replacement.”可知，他们使用的栅栏和现在使用的栅栏大小一样，所以，他们说这会很容易就可以把旧的栅栏取出来，并放入一个替换栅栏；再结合最后一段最后一句可推知，新的栅栏操作起来也很方便。故选c。3whats the purpose of designing the tamperproof feature?ato replace the old grate correctly.bto close the grate ahead of a flood.cto ensure airflow in normal conditions.dto stop the train speeding up unexpectedly.c解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第三、四句可知，设计干预防护的特点可以阻止操作失误，有了干预防护，他们确保人们不会有意地在正常情况下关掉空气流通的功能，故选c。4where does the text most probably come from?aa news report.ban adventurous story.can introduction to new

form just 2 to 6 percent of the population. however, that is not the case at mozambiques gorongosa national park, where an astonishing 33 percent of female elephants born after the countrys conflict ended in 1992 are tuskless. while that may appear to be just a coincidence, joyce poole, an elephant behavior expert, has another theory. the researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivories.poole says before the countrys 15yearlong conflict, the park was home to over 4，000 elephants. however, by the time the conflict ended in 1992, about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivories to get money. of the less than 200 survivors, over 50 percent of adult females had no tusks. therefore, it is not surprising that the parks tuskless elephant population has grown greatly.this is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants. at zambias south luangwa national park and lupande game management area, areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s, 35% of elephants of 25 years old or older and 13% of those younger than 25 are now without tusks. a 2008 study published in the african journal of ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the ruaha national park in tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989, largely due to illegal hunting for ivories.the recent ban on ivories in both the us and china should help get rid of, or at least reduce, elephant hunting. however, scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females to change the_trend【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。在1992年，在莫桑比克的gorongosa国家公园，有33%的雌象生来就没有长牙，大象行为专家认为，这是人们为了获得珍贵的象牙，而对大象进行持续不断的猎杀而造成的非自然的进化。5what is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in paragraph 1?aillegal hunting. bconstant farming.ca pure coincidence. dnatural evolution.a解析：细节理解题。根据第一段尾句“the researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivories.”可知，这位研究人员认为，由于持续不断地猎杀大象以获取珍贵的象牙，我们可能正在目睹物种的非自然进化。据此可知，第一段中提到的现象的可能原因是非法猎杀，故a项正确。6why did people kill so many elephants during the conflict in mozambique?ato get money by selling ivories.bto develop new decorations.cto provide food for local people.dto make ivory products.a解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“however, by the time the conflict ended in 1992, about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivories to get money.”可知，然而在1992年内战结束时，有大约90%的大象因象牙被猎杀，从而获得钱。据此可知，人们猎杀大象是为了通过销售象牙来获得钱，故a项正确。7which of the following had the earliest record on tuskless elephants?agorongosa national park.bsouth luangwa national park.cruaha national park.dlupande game management area.c解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句可知，在1992年内战结束时，莫桑比克的gorongosa国家公园有33%的雌象生来无长牙；根据第三段尾句“a 2008 study published in the african journal of ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the ruaha national park in tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989, largely due to illegal hunting for ivories.”可知，ruaha国家公园在1969年有10.5%的无长牙雌象，到1989年时，有大约40%的无长牙雌象；据此可知，ruaha国家公园是最早记录无长牙雌象的地区，故c项正确。8what does the underlined phrase “the trend” in the last paragraph refer to?aelephants facing greater danger.belephants growing more slowly.cfewer female elephants staying alive.dmore female elephants being tuskless.d解析：推理判断题。根据尾段第一句“the recent ban on ivories in both the us and china should help get rid of, or at least reduce, elephant hunting.”可知，最近美国和中国都颁布了象牙禁令，这应该有助于消除或至少减少对大象的猎杀；结合该段第二句“however, scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females to change the_trend”可知，科学家们并不确定对拥有较高比例无长牙雌象的大象们来说需要多长时间才能改变这种趋势。据此可推知，画线词指代“更多的雌象无长牙”这一趋势，故d项正确。.完形填空(2020郑州高三第二次质量预测)my father was born in a small town in the us. he wasnt sure what he wanted from

but communicating with a submarine(潜艇) or a diver is not so easy. the lack of practical methods for sharing data between underwater and airborne(空气传播的) devices has long been a frustration for scientists. the difficulty stems from the fact that radio signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water. sonar signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of water rather than reaching the air.now, researchers at mit have developed a method with the potential to revolutionize underwater communication. “what weve shown is that its actually feasible to communicate from underwater to the air，” says fadel adib, a professor at mits media lab, who led the research.the mit researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface, making vibrations(震动) corresponding to the 1s and 0s of the data. a surface receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations. the researchers call the system tarf. “it has any number of potential realworld uses，” adib says. “it could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a planes black box and it could allow submarines to communicate with the surface.”right now the technology is lowresolution. the initial study was conducted in the mit swimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet. the next steps for the researchers are to see if tarf is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditionshigh waves, storms, schools of fish. they also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other directionair to water. if the technology proves successful in realworld conditions, expect “texting while diving” to be the latest underwater fashion.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项麻省理工学院的科学家发明的从水下与地面上的人进行通信的技术。1what does the author

over the little red barn(畜舍)the farm is mostly empty now.jim mahan and his family, who lived there for generations, have moved to a different plot of land in northern fayette county.as land is sold, houses go up where there once were fields.but during the summer, the barn is filled with city kids who have come to enjoy the farm. theyre members of the fayette county livestock(fcl) club, which showcases skills as varied as cutting wool. the barn is where they look after the animals. “a lot of lexington kids dont know anything about farm life，” said adria meier, 17, who has looked after goats and sheep for three years. “there is so much to learn.”the dozen or so children who take care of their goats and sheep at the little red barn must do a sixhour class before they get an animal. they pay for their own animals but get special club programs, such as one that provides vet(兽医) care.mahan lets the group use the barn for free, and the kids spend up to three hours a day there during the summer.but as his land gets sold, he doesnt know whether the club can continue. what makes the fcl club special is that most of the kids cant just walk out their doors and take care of their animals. most are driven to the barn by their mothers, who usually hang around and chat as their kids feed and exercise the animals.there are valuable lessons learned along the way. for instance, dont cut wool off your goat when there is wind, and sheep are social animals and will cry loudly when separated. “tending to animals helps teach us responsibility. unlike learning to shoot an arrow, caring for an animal isnt something you can simply abandon，” said carly playforth, 16, of lexington.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文， 主要讲述了一群城里的孩子来到乡间农场体验不同的生活，照顾农场动物的故事。5what is the requirement for kids before they get
