Many marine species(海洋物种) depend on specific routes to migrate(迁徙). The routes offer these seafaring travellers the right conditions, at the right time of year, to guide them through the oceans. We humans try to discover the routes and have drawn our own lines, but they are not clear to us because of unexpected changes in nature.
To find out the routes that migratory marine species regularly take, a research team of scientists in Australia and the US have now created an interactive map that shows the paths connecting ocean habitats(栖息地).
The new map, named the Migratory Connectivity in the Ocean (MiCO), collects data and makes it easier for scientists to see where migratory marine species may be falling into the paths. The database(数据库) includes information on 109 species, based on around 30 years of data, and shows where they are going to and from—including which species cross into whose national waters.
"MiCO connects almost 2, 000 important habitats and shows the importance of cross-boundary teamwork," says the research team. They find that all of the species recorded in MiCO have less protection at some point in their life history because of different situations in different countries. That means no country is able to fully protect migratory species if there is no help from others. “ For example,green turtles nest in Costa Rica and migrate north through Nicaragua and out to islands in the Caribbean,” the team says.“ Although largely protected in Costa Rica,it is allowed to fish for turtles in Nicaragua and huge numbers are lost off the coast there every year.”MiC __ works to provide useful knowledge on migratory connectivity to help prot tect marine species.In 2023,a UN report found climate(气候)change is having bad influence on migratory species.MiC __ catches the information from different time periods and the team hopes it may be used to tell those changes in conn Lect iv it y..MiC __ is also expected to collect information on
more migratory marine species because t herre is less than one−third of data collected now.
“ So far, the migratory in format tionrevealed within the MiC __ system only touches the surface of the true connectivity of the globalOceans,” the team says.
1.(创新考法.行文方式题)How does the
writer lead in the topic?
A.By offering advice.
B.By presenting study results.
C.By expressing opinions.
D.By giving background information.
2.What is Mi CO?
A.A map that humans draw to look for
marine s pcc ics.
B.A route which guides marine species
through the oceans.
C.A database that shows the lines marine
species migrate along.
D.A system which scientists' use for
research on temperature changes.
3.Why does the writer take the example of

A.To prove the harm in fishing for migratory species.
B.To show the importance of cross−country teamwork.
C.To share the methods of marine species protection.
D.To explain the reason for marine species to migrate.
4.Which of the following can be the data MiC __
collects?
A.Over 10 laws are made on marine species protection.
B.There are mainly 3 elephant species living on the earth.
C.Leatherback turtles travel about 20,000 km from Indonesia to __ reg on.
D.Thousands of people visit the whale shark habitat in South Africa every year.

答案： (三) [主旨大意] 本文主要介绍了一个名为 MiCO的交互式地图系统，该系统用干追踪海洋物种的迁徙路线。文章还强调了跨国合作对保护迁徙物种的重要性。
1. D 解析:推理判断题。根据“Many marine species depend on specific routes to migrate. The routes offer these seafaring travellers the right conditions， at the right time of year， to guide them through the oceans.”和“To find out the routes that migratory marine species regularly take， a research team of scientists in Australia and the US have now created an interactive map that shows the paths connecting ocean habitats.”可知，作者通过描述海洋物种依赖特定路线迁徙的背景信息，引出 MiCO系统的研究目的。
2. C 解析:细节理解题。根据“The new map， named the Migratory Connectivity in the Ocean (MiCO) ... shows where they are going to and from”可知，MiCO 是一个展示海洋物种迁徙路线的数据库。
3. B 解析:推理判断题。根据“They find that all of the species ... if there is no help from others.”和绿海龟的例子可推测出，作者通过绿海龟在不同国家保护差异的案例，说明跨国合作的重要性。
4. C 解析:细节理解题。根据“The database includes information on 109 species ... where they are going and from”可知，MiCO 收集的数据与物种迁徙路线相关。选项 C 符合这一特征。
［长难句解读
To find out the routes that migratory marine species regularly take, a research team of scientists in Australia and the US have now created an interactive map that shows the paths connecting ocean habitats.
翻译：为了找出迁徙海洋生物定期经过的路线，澳大利亚和美国的一个科学家研究团队目前已制作出一幅交互式地图，这幅地图展示了连接海洋栖息地的路径。
句式结构分析:这是一个主从复合句。句首的“To find out the routes ...”是不定式短语作目的状语，其中 that migratory marine species regularly take 是定语从句，修饰先行词 routes;主句是“a research team ... have now created an interactive map”，a research team 是主语，have created 是谓语，an interactive map 是宾语; that shows the paths connecting ocean habitats 是另一个定语从句，修饰先行词 map，其中 connecting ocean habitats 是现在分词短语作定语，修饰 paths。
