So many are the hermit crabs(寄居蟹)flooding into the otherwise empty beaches of Koh Lanta that shells (贝壳)for them to live in have become in short supply.The Thai government moved quickly to ease the housing shortage, launching a public appeal for empty shells that netted over 200kg. On December 5 these were distributed around the park in a ceremony.Hermit crabs rely on shells to protect their soft bodies, moving to larger shells as they grow.On Koh Lanta and the surrounding smaller islands, their rapid increase seems to be a natural phenomenon, rather than directly related to the absence of tourists. But the shortage of shells may be man-made: pretty ones have long been gathered to be sold as goods. Crabs had begun to make do with potential death-traps such as plastic caps and bottles.The shell drive was part of a government initiative to “regain the balance of nature". "I have instructed all national parks to do whatever it takes,“ says Varawut Silpa-archa, the minister for natural resources. His inspiration comes from the pause in tourism brought on by COVID-19. A ban on international visitors and the closure of national parks have helped nature recover, bringing endangered leatherback turtles back onto Thai beaches. In the coastal provinces of Phang Nga and Phuket, turtles have laid the largest number of eggs for 20 years.The government has decided to try to copy the short break forced on it by COVID-19 in future. From now on, all national parks will be required to close for a short period during the off-season and to limit the number of tourists through a reservation system when they are open. Although such restrictions mean reduced earnings from tourism in the short term, in the longer run more parks may help to keep the tourists coming.【文章大意】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了在旅游业下滑期间,寄居蟹数量暴涨,泰国政府 向公众发出呼吁,要求提供净重超过200千克的空壳给寄居蟹居住。3.

To warn turtles are dying out.B. To prove beaches are their ideal habitats.C. To stress ecological diversity of Thailand.D. To illustrate the birth of Varawut,s inspiration.【解析】选Do推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句可知COVID-19的禁令将濒危的棱皮龟带 回了泰国海滩,这是自然恢复的例子,而Varawut Silpa-archa的灵感正是来自这次海龟拯救行 动,所以提到海龟是为了说明Varawut灵感的诞生。故选DoWhich of the following can be the best title for the text?A.

To me, it's the single most important task I have to accomplish upon arrival. I learn where I am in relation to the rest of the city, the names of neighborhoods and the major streets. I figure out where the subway stations are, how I can get to the best walking routes.Then I use that paper map to figure out which sights are closest to each other and how I can use my time most efficiently. 2 I note the neighborhoods I want to visit along the way.No doubt you may wonder why T don5t just pull out my phone. I do own a smartphone with GPS. 3 It shows a specific destination and a precise route to get there. But it doesn't put the journey into context, which I dislike. I always want to know where I am in relation to everything else.My trusty map, on the other hand, is all about context. Ask me the nearest bridge, major market or landmark, and I'll be able to tell you in an instant. Besides, a paper map does not run out of battery. 4 It is easily replaceable.For a traveler like myself, that paper map is like an entrance into another world. Staring at it transports me into a dreamlike state. I imagine all the places I'll go and the things I will do. 5It never has a poor connection.A. But I don't have the habit of using GPS.B. And all these make me become a responsible tourist.C. That map, you see, is my key to getting around the city.D. However, I think my phone's GPS robs me of something.E. And it enables me to begin planning how I'll make it happen.F. I put dots where the bookstores, restaurants and museums are.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了作者在旅行中仍然喜欢使用纸质地图而不是accomplish efficiently no doubt specific destination precise landmark batteryGPS的理由。1 .【解析】选D。根据后文可知,本段内容介绍作者如何通过地图来了解一个城市,包括主 要街道、火车站以及如何规划自己的步行路线等。故D选项符合语境,故选Do.【解析】选G。根据上文以及后文可知,前句讲述作者使用地图查看景点,规划如何最高 效地利用自己的时间来游览,后句内容也是介绍作者会标注沿途自己想去的地方,可推测本 句是在说明作者会在地图上标注记号。故G选项符合语境,故选G。2 .【解析】选民 上文提到了自己手机里有GPS,后文则提到了自己不喜欢使用GPS,可知 本句是在说明作者不喜欢GPS的原因。故E选项符合语境,故选E。3 .【解析】选A。根据上文以及后文“It is easily replaceable.(它易于更换)”可知,空格前后均 是介绍纸质地图的优点。故A选项符合语境,故选A。4 .【解析】选F。根据上文可知,前句介绍地图会让自己产生联想,想象自己要去的地方和要 做的事情,说明地图让作者开始计划未来想要如何去实现的事,故F选项符合语境,故选Fo【词汇积累】完成高效地毫无疑问具体的目的地精确的地标电池m.语法填空(2022,泉州模拟)A group of wild Asian elephants have wandered more than 500km across China over the last 15 months.
