Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors一、閱讀理解。You may not think it very mucha used ice cream tub(紙杯) on the beach, a cigarette butt in the sand. But these little pieces of litter amount to around 8.8 million tons of trash in the worlds oceans, poisoning and choking sealife, according to figures from the World Wildlife Foundation. Now, in a set of images titled The Price Of Convenience by Waters has shown the destroying effects that casual littering has on creatures. In one image called “your convenience is their extinction”, a sea turtles shell is hollowed out(掏空) and filled with banana skins, soda cans, and other debris. “It is shocking the amount of trash in the oceans,” Waters, 23, said, describing his project which he has begun a campaign to the WWF. “When you leave litter on the beach,you are treating the ocean like a trash can. When you throw trash over the side of a boat, youre treating the ocean like a trash can. And when you leave litter at a beach festival or party, its the same.Obviously it would be impossible to clean the oceans but I felt I had to try something.”Waters explained that he, like many other Westerners, has always been aware of environmental concerns but did not begin to do something about i. The turning point came as he visited Malaysia with his girlfriend last year. He reached the shore to find piles of trash.But it was beautiful, the smell of the air, of the ocean.I had a strong feeling for it after I started researching trash in the ocean. A few months later, he came across the video of a sea turtle in obvious agony(痛苦) with a drinking straw stuck up its nostrils(鼻孔).That video inspired the first of Waters three images. “Sea turtles are such gentle creatures. I felt sick watching that video.Trash left on a beach by humans caused so much pain and suffering.These animals dont have voices so weve got to speak up for them.” he added. Waters has not yet received a response from WWF regarding his images.For now, he says, he is inspired to develop more campaigns that raise awareness of environmental concerns.1.What can be found in the sea turtles shell according to the passage?A.Some ice cream.B.Some drawings.C.Some litter.D.Some creatures.2.Why did the turtle in the video seem very painful?A.Because its nostrils were full of cigarette butts.B.Because it had been poisoned and seemed to be dying.C.Because most of its body parts had been injured seriously.D.Because there was a drinking straw stuck up its nostrils.3.Waters trying something aims to _.A.make the polluted ocean bee cleanB.remind people awareness of ocean pollutionC.improve his skill of drawing picturesD.get some support from the WWF參考答案： 1.C; 2.D; 3.B解析： 1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句的filled with banana skins, soda cans, and other debris可知在海龜?shù)纳眢w里填滿了香蕉皮、蘇打水瓶子和其他垃圾。2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段第四句的with a drinking straw stuck up its nostrils可知是海龜鼻孔的吸管讓它難受的。3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段最后一句Waters explained that he, like many other Westerners, has always been aware of environmental concerns可知他通過自己的努力來引起其他人對海洋環(huán)境的關(guān)注。二、單句語法填空1I am not accustomed to _ (interrupt) when studying or working, so please remember this and dont do it again.答案：being interrupted2The headmaster hurried to the concert hall, only _ (tell) the speaker had gone.答案：to be told3The escaped prisoner got _ (arrest) immediately he turned up at the railway station and was sent to prison again.答案：arrested4There were so many cars held up by the heavy rain on the road that we had no alternative but _ (wait)答案：to wait5_ (assume) that you are chosen to be a volunteer at the Olympic Games, what will you do?答案：Assuming6My neck is aching.No wonder.
