【答案】1.B2.C3.B4.A5.B
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了皮划艇是一项非常环保的运动,几乎不会对水里的鱼类造成任何伤害,同时指出玩皮划艇时要不要往水里扔垃圾。
1.细节理解题。
根据第一段中的“Kayakingalsoseemsrelativelyfriendlytotheenvironment;moresothanspeedboatingorwaterskiing.”可知,皮划艇比滑水更环保,故B项正确。
2.代词指代题。
根据画线词前的“Thiscouldcausetheanimalstochokeontheindigestiblelitter,leadingtodeath.”可知,这会导致那些水生动物被难以消化的垃圾噎住,导致死亡,由此可知画线词指的就是水生动物因吃了垃圾而窒息致死,故C项正确。
3.推理判断题。
根据空格后的“Andbecausekayaksdonothaveamotor,fishhavenoriskofgettingcaughtunderneaththeboat.”可知,而且因为皮划艇没有马达,鱼类在船底被抓住的风险就很小,此处应该会提到皮划艇对鱼类的另一个好处,B项(与由发动机和燃料驱动的船不同,皮划艇对水里游动的鱼类几乎不会造成任何伤害)正好符合语境,故B项正确。
4.主旨大意题。
根据文章内容,特别是第一段中的“Kayakingalsoseemsrelativelyfriendlytotheenvironment”可知,本文主要介绍了皮划艇是一项非常环保的运动,标题应体现出皮划艇对环境的影响,故A项正确。
5.词义猜测题。
根据本空后的“itcanbeharmfulwhenswallowedbyfish.”可知,虽然人类排泄物被认为是无害的,但被鱼类吞食却是有害的,由此可知画线词词义为“无害的”,故B项正确。
