2019年高考英语一轮总复习 Unit 2 The United Kingdom课时作业 新人教版必修5.阅读理解A(xx江苏卷)If a diver surfaces too quickly,he may suffer the bends.Nitrogen (氮)dissolved(溶解)in his blood is suddenly liberated by the reduction of pressure.The consequence,if the bubbles(气泡)accumulate in a joint,is sharp pain and a bent bodythus the name.If the bubbles form in his lungs or his brain,the consequence can be death.Other airbreathing animals also suffer this depression(减压)sickness if they surface too fast:whales,for example.And so long ago,did ichthyosaurs.That these ancient sea animals got the bends can be seen from their bones.If bubbles of nitrogen form inside the bone they can cut off its blood supply.This kills the cells in the bone,and consequently weakens it,sometimes to the point of collapse.Fossil(化石)bones that have caved in on themselves are thus a sign that the animal once had the bends.Bruce Rothschild of the University of Kansas knew all this when he began a study of ichthyosaur bones to find out how widespread the problem was in the past.What he particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapted to the problem of depression over the 150 million years.To this end,he and his colleagues traveled the worlds natural history museums,looking at hundreds of ichthyosaurs from the Triassic period and from the later Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.When he started,he assumed that signs of the bends would be rarer in younger fossils,reflecting their gradual evolution of measures to deal with depression.Instead,he was astonished to discover the opposite.More than 15% of Jurassic and Cretaceous ichthyosaurs had suffered the bends before they died,but not a single Triassic specimen(标本)showed evidence of that sort of injury.If ichthyosaurs did evolve an antidepression means,they clearly did so quicklyand,most strangely,they lost it afterwards.But that is not what Dr Rothschild thinks happened.He suspects it was evolution in other animals that caused the change.Whales that suffer the bends often do so because they have surfaced to escape a predator(捕食动物)such as a large shark.One of the features of Jurassic oceans was an abundance of large sharks and crocodiles,both of which were fond of ichthyosaur lunches.Triassic oceans,by contrast,were mercifully sharkand crocodilefree.In the Triassic,then,ichthyosaurs were top of the food chain.In the Jurassic and Cretaceous,they were prey(猎物)as well as predatorand often had to make a speedy exit as a result.文章大意文章主要介绍了落到水中马上浮出水面会产生什么影响。1Which of the following is a typical symptom of the bends?AA twisted body.BA gradual decrease in blood supply.CA sudden release of nitrogen in blood.DA drop in blood pressure.解析:细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“The consequence.is sharp pain and a bent body”可知。答案:A2The purpose of Rothschilds study is to see_.Ahow often ichthyosaurs caught the bendsBhow ichthyosaurs adapted to depressionCwhy ichthyosaurs bent their bodiesDwhen ichthyosaurs broke

Paragraph 4_.Aconfirmed his assumptionBspeeded up his research processCdisagreed with his assumptionDchanged his research objectives解析:细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Instead,he was astonished to discover the opposite.”可知。答案:C4Rothschild might have concluded that ichthyosaurs_.Afailed to evolve an antidepression meansBgradually developed measures against the bendsCdied out because of large sharks and crocodilesDevolved an antidepression means but soon lost it解析:推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段but前后句子对比关系,可推出答案为A。答案:AB(xx德州联考)The New Folk Sound Of Terry Callier attracted little interest when first released(发行),and
