However, the Pacific is not always peaceful. Its islands are often hit by typhoons, and the countries surrounding it have many volcanoes and a
14、re often hit by earthquakes. Tsunamis (海啸 ), caused by underwater earthquakes, have destroyed many lowlying coastal towns. The Ocean contains about 46% of Earths surface water, and makes up about 32% of its total surface area, more than all of the planets land areas. The equator (赤道) divides it into
15、 the North Pacific and the South Pacific Oceans, the latter of which contains most of its largest 25,000 islands. The largest landmass entirely within the Pacific Ocean is the island of New Guinea, with Australia to its south；it has been the worlds secondlargest island since separating from the Aust
16、ralian mainland.The lowest point on Earth, the Mariana Trench (海沟), lies 10,911 meters below the surface of the Pacific, but the Oceans average depth is 4,280 meters. The water temperature of the Pacific varies from freezing at the poles to about 300C near the equator. Its salinity (盐分) also varies
17、from place to place. The water near the equator is less salty because of the rainfall there, but at the poles salinity is also low, because little evaporation (蒸发) takes place in the cold water of these areas. The exploitation (开采) of the Pacifics mineral wealth is difficult in its deeper parts. How
18、ever, in the shallow waters of the continental shelves off the coasts of Australia and New Zealand, oil and natural gas are exploited, and pearls are harvested along the coasts of Australia, Japan, Nicaragua and the Philippines.The Pacifics greatest wealth is its fish, but the fishing industry has b

23、”。 2.解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第一段可知选B；根据第二段可知A、D表述错误；文章倒数第二段提到太平洋的深层很难开采，但并没有提到没开采过，故C项表述错误。3解析：选A。 细节理解题。根据第三段中because little evaporation takes place in the cold water of these areas可知A正确。因为那儿的海水几乎没有蒸发。B项是赤道附近盐度低的原因。 4.解析：选A。推理判断题。从倒数第二段可知那些太平洋的周边国家从海洋的丰富资源中获益不少，因此选A。2016高考训练题。阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中
24、，选出最佳选项。Recently a study, led by Pedro Hallal of the Federal University, suggests that nearly a third of adults, 31%, are not getting enough exercise. That rates of exercise have declined is hardly a new discovery. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, technology and economic growth have
25、 helped to create a world in which taking exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity. But only recently have enough good data been collected from enough places to carry out the sort of analysis Dr Hallal and his colleagues have engaged in.There are common themes in different places.
26、 Unsurprisingly, people in rich countries are less active than those in poor ones, and old people are less active than young ones. Less obviously, women tend to exercise less than men34% are inactive, compared with 28% of men. But there are exceptions. The women of Croatia, Finland, Iraq and Luxembo
27、urg, for example, move more than their male countrymen.Malta wins the race for most slothful country, with 72% of adults getting too little exercise, and Swaziland and Saudi Arabia are in close behind, with 69%. In Bangladesh, just 5% of adults fail to exercise enough. Surprisingly, six Americans in
28、 ten are active enough according to Dr Hallals study, compared with fewer than four in ten British. These high rates of inactivity are worrying. Human beings seem to have evolved(进化) to benefit from exercise while deliberately avoiding it whenever they can. In a state of nature it would be impossibl
29、e to live a life that did not provide enough of it. But that is no longer the case. Actually lack of enough activity these days has nearly the same effect on life span(寿命) as smoking.1.

Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their p

They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem service
35、s. The study, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1, 634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated (低估) the speed of flowering by 8. 5 times and leafing by 4 times. “Across all species, the exper
36、iments under- predicted the speed of the advancefor both leafing and floweringthat results from temperature increases, ”the study said. The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it said. Plants are necessary for life on the Ea
37、rth. They are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis (光合作用) to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet. Scientists believe the worlds average temperature has risen by about 0. 8 since 1900, and nearly 0. 2 ever
38、y ten years since 1979. So far, efforts to cut emissions (排放) of planet- warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2 this centurya point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought,

We can learn from the study published on the Nature website that.A. plantsflowering is 8. 5 times faster than leafingB. there are 1, 634 plant species on the four continentsC. scientists should improve the d
41、esign of the experimentsD. the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change3. Scientists pay special attention to the study of plants because.A. they can prove the climate change clearlyB. they are very important in the food chainsC. they play a leading role in reducing global wa
42、rmingD. they are growing and flowering much faster than before4. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the worlds temperature? A. It has risen nearly 0. 2 since 1979. B. Its change will lead to weather extremes. C. It is 0. 8 higher in 1979 than that of 1900. D. It needs to be controlled within 2 in this century. 【参考答案】14、BCBD
