[2021· 潍坊、淄博、东营市高三模拟]Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are an integral part of sea life and sustain it by providing shelter and habitat to various organisms. They also supply and recycle nutrients as well as enable a growing fish population, along with other species, for a healthy and diverse ecosystem. However, the rise in average water temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and longtime “coral bleaching” (白化现象) events that damage their health, causing fish and other sea species to abandon them.
In order to restore this delicate ecosystem, scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish, potentially kickstarting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms. The location for this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea, found alongside the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The site is noted to have the largest coral reef system in the world.
“Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places—the crackle of snapping shrimp and the whoops and grunts of fish. Young fish concentrate on these sounds when they're looking for a place to settle，” said Steve Simpson, study coauthor and a professor at the University of Exeter, UK.
By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds, parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish, compared to places where no sounds were played. “These returning fish, are crucial for coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystems. Boosting fish populations in this way could help to kickstart natural recovery processes, preventing the damage we're seeing on many coral reefs around the world，” said lead author, Tim Gordon.
1．What causes the phenomenon of coral bleaching?
A．Diverse species. B．Noise pollution.
C．Fishing industry. D．Climbing temperatures.
2．What approach is introduced to recover the coral reefs?
A．Removing damaged coral reefs.
B．Using loudspeakers to keep fish away.
C．Building new homes for sea species.
D．Playing certain sounds to appeal to fish.
3．Why are Steve Simpson's words quoted?
A．To provide some findings of the study.
B．To show the progress of the experiment.
C．To explain reasons for the new approach.
D．To give another solution to the problem.
4．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The attempts are in vain.
B．Natural recovery is impossible.
C．Initial success has been achieved.
D．The coral reefs have returned to normal.
Ⅰ.阅读理解
1．D 考查细节理解。根据第一段最后一句“However, the rise in average water temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and longtime ‘coral bleaching’(白化现象) events that damage their health, causing fish and other sea species to abandon them.”句意：然而，气候变化使平均水温上升，造成了更频繁和更长期的“珊瑚白化现象”，这损害了它们的健康，导致鱼类和其他海洋物种抛弃它们。根据关键句可知，上升的温度导致了珊瑚礁白化现象。故选D。
2．D 考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句“In order to restore this delicate ecosystem, scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish, potentially kickstarting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms.”句意：为了恢复这一脆弱的生态系统，来自英国和澳大利亚的科学家们进行了一项研究，其中包括在受损珊瑚礁附近的水下使用扩音器，使珊瑚礁“听”起来健康，吸引鱼类，这可能会启动珊瑚礁及其依赖的生命形式的自然恢复过程。该题问的是为了恢复珊瑚礁采用了什么方法。根据关键句可知，为了恢复珊瑚礁，科学家在受损珊瑚礁附近的水下播放一些声音吸引鱼类。故选D。
3．C 考查推理判断。根据第三段“‘Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places—the crackle of snapping shrimp and the whoops and grunts of fish. Young fish concentrate on these sounds when they're looking for a place to settle，’ said Steve Simpson, study coauthor and a professor at the University of Exeter, UK.”句意：研究合著者、英国埃克塞特大学教授Steve Simpson说：“健康的珊瑚礁是非常嘈杂的地方，这里有鼓虾的噼啪声和鱼的咕噜声。幼鱼在寻找栖息地时会把注意力集中在这些声音上。”该题问的是为什么要引用Steve Simpson的话。根据关键句可推知，引用Steve Simpson的话是为了解释使用新方法的原因。故选C。
4．C 考查推理判断。根据最后一段第一句“By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds, parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish, compared to places where no sounds were played.”句意：通过使用扩音器来模仿这些声音，人们发现，与没有播放声音的地方相比，部分死去的珊瑚礁吸引的鱼是前者的两倍。该题问的是我们从最后一段中可以推断出什么。根据关键句可推知，这个方法已经取得初步的成功。故选C。
