高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Right now in the Pacific Northwest， the local Lummi tribe is reminding us of our connection to nature， pushing us to question how we treat other species and demanding the release of a captive killer whale from Miami Seaquarium． Many local cultures have known for thousands of years that the success and sustainability of society depend upon our relationship to the natural environment　 have tried at great lengths to share this knowledge with us． And it's about time that we listened．

As a conservation biologist， my job is to conduct research that helps protect Earth's biodiversity． From my scientific perspective， I back the Lummi's call to release Lolita back into her native waters． Unlike other captive killer whales that were born at amusement parks， Lolita was taken directly from her native environment， which luckily has remained． This means that the likelihood of a successful reintroduction is quite high．

Why？ First， because Lolita already knows how to hunt from her younger years in the Salish Sea before she was taken． Proponents of keeping killer whales captive often say that the whales are not equipped with the skills to know how to hunt and survive in the wild． This is not the case for Lolita．

Second， the fact that Lolita's family still exists and that her mother is still alive means the chances of her being accepted back into the family are quite high． In addition to their 80-year lifespans， killer whales have also been shown to long-term memories． That makes it very likely that Lolita's family will remember her and welcome her back． The fact that Lolita's mother is still alive is particularly exciting because killer whale families are matriarchal， meaning that the female members of the families largely shape the group's social structure．

From my conservationist perspective， I also back the call to free Lolita． Her family belongs to a group known as "southern resident killer whale，" an endangered species whose populations are not doing well． By bringing Lolita home to the Salish Sea， we are effectively adding one more re-productively mature female into the population． If Lolita reproduces， her offspring will help maintain the wild population of wild resident killer whales．

From an ethical perspective， I support the release of Lolita because it is the right thing to do． We know that killer whales are intelligent， and that they are highly social creatures， parallel to Primates （灵长类） and yes， humans too． What does it mean for us as a society that we allow the captivity of intelligent marine mammals for our own amusement？ If we cannot begin to value the diversity of life on this planet， how are we going to be able to value the diversity of life within the human race？

The release of Lolita would be a victory for the Lummi， for science-based conservation and for repairing the relationships between humans and other species． As Martin Luther King Jr． once put it， One day the ridiculousness of the almost universal human belief in the slavery of other animals will be apparent． We shall then have discovered our souls and become worthier of sharing this planet with them．

1.What does NOT contribute to the successful reintroduction of Lolita？

A.The native living environment of Lolita has remained．

B.Lolita learned the survival skills at Miami Seaquarium．

C.Killer whales have long lifespans and long-term memories．

D.Lolita's mother is still alive and plays a decisive role in the family．

2.What can be inferred if Lolita is released？

A.The ecological balance of Pacific Ocean will be disturbed．

B.The population of the endangered species may stop decreasing．

C.People will value the diversity of life within the human race．

D.The Lummi tribe may gain enormous economic benefits．

3.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage？

I： Introduction　　　　　　　　 P： Point　　　　　　 Sp： Sub-point （次要点）　　　　 C： Conclusion

A. B. C. D.

4.What's the main purpose of this passage？

A.To call on Seaquariums to stop using animals for entertainment．

B.To introduce the local Lummi culture to the world．

C.To support the proposal to free Lolita the killer whale．

D.To encourage people to live in harmony with animals．
