But, as we cant drink sea water, how can it be important?Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important seawater is!Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately（微妙地）balanced.The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didnt matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions（限制）to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important sea water is!12.

Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?A. The use of international agreements.B. Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.C. The use of new techniques.D. Raising people”s awareness of the need to protect oceans.15. What would be the best title of the passage?A. The Importance of Seawater.B. Life in the Oceans.C. How to Protect Food Chains.D. How to Deal with Seawater Pollution.【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A【解析】试题分析：本文讲述的海洋以及海水对人类的重要性，同时也描述了海洋的现状以及人们为了保护海洋所做的努力。12. D 细节题。根据文章第四段前三行People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didnt matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food.可知以前人们认为向海洋里扔垃圾是没有关系的，故D正确。13. C 细节题。根据文章第四段最后一句But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.可知现在人们已经知道过度捕捞让 海洋里的鱼变少了。故C正确。14. B 细节题。根据文章最后 一段Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important seawater is!可知ACD三项都是本文所讲述的保护海洋的方法。B项文章没有提及。15. A 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段最后一句In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important seawater is!可知海水对我们人类来说是非常重要的。故本文讲述的是海水的重要性。A正确。考点：考察环境保护类短文阅读点评：本文讲述的海洋以及海水对人类的重要性，同时也描述了海洋的现状以及人们为了保护海洋所做的努力。文章基本上是考查细节题，对此类题型考生可以首先从问题中找到关键词，然后以此为线索，运用略读及查阅的技巧在文中迅速寻找这一细节，找到后再把这一部分内容仔细阅读一遍，仔细比较所给选项与文中细节的细微区别，在准确理解细节的前提下，最后确定最佳答案。第二节 七选五阅读（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。Everyone knows that fish is good for health._16_ But it seems that many people dont cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isnt difficult._17_This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way._18_Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that youre standing at the oceans edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isnt fresh._19_When you have bought a fish and arrive home, youd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you dont cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isnt as tasty as the fresh one.Therearemanycommonmethodsusedtocookfish._20_First,cleanitandseasonitwithyourchoiceofspices(料).Putthewholefishonaplateandsteamitinasteampotfor8to10minutesifitweighsaboutonepound.(Alargeronewilltakemoretime.)Then,itsreadytoserve.A.Donotbuyit.B.Theeasiestistosteamit.C.Thisishowyoucandoit.D.Itjustrequiresalittleknowledge.E.Thefishwillgobadwithinhours.F.Whenbuyingfish,youshouldfirstsmellit.G.Thefatsinfisharethoughttohelppreventheartdisease.【答案】16. G 17. D18. F 19. A20. B【解析】试题分析：本文属于说明文，鱼是健康的食物。本文介绍了购买和烹饪鱼肉的方法。视频16. G 根据横线前句Everyone knows that fish is good for health.可知大家都知道鱼对人的健康有益。本句对这一说法进行解释。G项“The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease”鱼肉里的脂肪可以预防心脏病，这一说法和第一句相搭配。17. D 横线前句“Buying, storing, and cooking fish isnt difficult.”告诉我们购买存储和烹饪鱼肉并不难，需要我们了解相关的知识即可。且与横线后句“This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.”相一致。18. F 根据横线后句Fresh fish should smell sweet新鲜的鱼闻起来很甜。说明本段告诉我们买鱼的时候要先闻闻味道。故F项正确。19. A 横线前句“Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isnt fresh.”味道过浓的鱼都是不新鲜的鱼。这样的鱼是不能购买的。故A项正确。20. B 根据横线后两句“First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices(调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound.”可知在介绍蒸鱼的方法。所以B项“The easiest is to steam it.最容易的方法是蒸鱼。”符合上下文串联。考点：考查说明文阅读第三部分：英语知识运用第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）As my husband,Doug,stood on the busy New York city street trying to stop a taxi,I tried to protect my daughter from the cold December wind and rain.
