A
[江苏连云港赣榆期中]A small group of Cuban dive instructors(潜水教练) have started a project to grow coral(珊瑚) and replant it. The divers hope to restore part of Cuba’s barrier reef( 堡礁). And they are working with limited financial support and using materials recovered from the coast.
Luis is one of the project’s leaders. The 44-year-old fisherman grew up on Cuba’s north coast. He said, “It’s unbelievable to see the loss of coral in the past 30 years. ” He added, “Our dream is to make the parts of the barrier reef that have lost their coral grow again. ”
To make that happen, Luis worked with other dive instructors and neighbourhood schoolchildren with the support from Cuba’s environmental organizations—Cuba’s National Aquarium and the Cuban environmental programme Ecovalor. They began assembling pieces of coral spread across the ocean floor after large storms three years ago. The pieces were then hung on branches of underwater “trees” made from old plastic pipes and supported by fishing lines recovered from the coast. They were then “replanted” on the coral reef, fixed by nails driven into the rock. In a year, most survive and grow enough to repopulate the part of the barrier reef between 60 to 80 metres in length.
“It’s a project that takes time, ”said co-worker Michel Soto. He said the project has done better than expectations even with little financial support and limited equipment in Cuba.
Like many coral reefs around the world, the ones in Cuba are threatened by changing water temperatures, destructive plants and animals, pollution and over-fishing. It is reported that the world has already lost 30 to 50 percent of its coral reefs.
Karine is a French diver who just visited Cuba for the first time. She said the reef looked better than others she had seen on dives elsewhere in the world, including in Africa. “The coral needs to be protected, ”she said after two dives on a recent trip to nearby Varadero. She said, “It’s good to see that in Cuba they take care of what they have, and that it is still not too affected by too much tourism. ”
(D) 1. What do you think of Luis’s group?
A. They are experienced idealists.
B. They are goal-oriented dreamers.
C. They are self-confident specialists.
D. They are determined problem-solvers.
(A) 2. What does the underlined word “assembling” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Collecting.
B. Fixing.
C. Planting.
D. Removing.
(B) 3. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 5?
A. To predict the result of the project.
B. To prove the necessity of the project.
C. To call on more people to join the project.
D. To state the economic benefit of the project.
(C) 4. Which of the following is right about the project?
A. It is offered enough material support.
B. It is a governmental rescue operation.
C. It is tough but rewarding in the long term.
D. It is expected to protect the whole barrier reef.

答案： 1 D 推理判断题
【关键句】A small group of Cuban dive instructors have started a project to grow coral and replant it ... And they are working with limited financial support and using materials recovered from the coast.
释义:一小群古巴潜水教练发起了一个种植和移植珊瑚的项目……他们正在有限的财政支持下工作，并使用从海岸回收的材料。
【解析】由题干中的关键词group定位到第一段，由第一段第一句和最后一句可知，在资金不足且使用回收材料的情况下，这个团队依然在进行他们的项目，说明他们是坚定的解决问题的人。故选D项。
2 A 词义猜测题
【关键句】They began assembling pieces of coral spread across the ocean floor after large storms three years ago. The pieces were then hung on branches of underwater “trees” made from old plastic pipes and supported by fishing lines recovered from the coast.
释义:三年前的大风暴过后，他们开始收集散落在海底的珊瑚碎片。然后，这些碎片被挂在由旧塑料管制成的水下“树木”的树枝上，并由从海岸回收的钓线支撑。
【解析】由画线词后的pieces of coral spread across the ocean floor和画线词所在句后一句提到的他们将碎片挂在树枝上可推知，他们应该是将珊瑚碎片“收集”起来统一悬挂。所以画线词的意思最贴近collect(收集)。故选A项。
3 B 推理判断题
【关键句】Like many coral reefs around the world， the ones in Cuba are threatened by changing water temperatures， destructive plants and animals， pollution and over-fishing. It is reported that the world has already lost 30 to 50 percent of its coral reefs.
释义:像世界上许多珊瑚礁一样,古巴的珊瑚礁也受到变化的水温、破坏性的动植物、污染和过度捕捞的威胁。据报道,世界已经失去了30%到50%的珊瑚礁。
【解析】第五段介绍了古巴珊瑚礁面临着各种威胁且现状堪忧,世界上已经有30%到50%的珊瑚礁消失了,说明珊瑚种植项目是必要的。故选B项。
4 C 推理判断题
【关键句1】“It’s a project that takes time,”said co-worker Michel Soto. He said the project has done better
than expectations even with little financial support and limited equipment in Cuba.
