二、任务型阅读。
你听过“路怒症(road rage)”吗？研究表明，鸟儿也可能得“路怒症”。请阅读下面短文，完成下列任务。
Did you know that birds can also get “road rage”? A research team from Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) in the UK visited the Galapagos Islands to do a study. They found that traffic noise makes birds angry.
The Galapagos Islands are in the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean, and are home to a large number of animals and plants.
The scientists studied a very common type of yellow warbler(黄莺) in the area. The places that they observed were either 50 or 100 metres away from the road. In each location, scientists played recorded traffic noise to the yellow warblers to see how they behaved.
They found that no matter how far the birds were from the road, they sang louder if the place was noisier. In locations with more people, they even sang for a longer time.
What's more, the yellow warblers living 50 metres away from the road were loud and angry. For example, they got very close to the speaker and flew across it over and over again. Those 100 metres away from the noise, however, were quieter.
With more human activities, the number of cars on the Galapagos Islands has gone up in recent years. The birds often use songs to drive people and animals away, but if the traffic noise is louder than their singing, they become more aggressive.
任务一:请根据短文内容从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
1. What is the main finding of the ARU's study on the Galapagos Islands? ()
A. Traffic noise has made birds on the islands quieter.
B. Traffic noise makes birds angry and changes their actions.
C. Yellow warblers like to live 50 metres away from the road.
D. The Galapagos Islands are the main home to yellow warblers.
2. Why did scientists play recorded traffic noise to the yellow warblers? ()
A. To help the birds get used to it.
B. To make the birds leave the noisy areas.
C. To study how the birds reacted to traffic noise.
D. To compare the birds' natural songs with the noise.
3. What does the underlined word “aggressive” in the last paragraph mean? ()
A. Lazy and silly.
B. Shy and afraid.
C. Calm and quiet.
D. Angry and wild.
任务二:请根据短文内容和你的思考回答以下问题。
1. Where are the Galapagos Islands located?



2. 提升题 What can we do to cut down noise pollution in daily life?

任务一：
1. B
2. C
3. D
任务二：
1. They are located in the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean.
2. We can use public transport more to reduce traffic noise.

【分析】
本题为任务型阅读题，分为选择题（任务一）和问答题（任务二）。解题思路：任务一的选择题需先定位题干关键词，返回原文对应段落匹配信息，细节题直接找原文原句或同义表述，词义猜测题结合上下文语境推断；任务二第1题是信息提取题，直接从原文提取位置信息，第2题是开放性问题，结合日常生活实际提出合理的减噪措施即可。
【解析】
任务一：1. 题干询问ARU研究的主要发现，原文第一段指出“traffic noise makes birds angry”，后续段落进一步描述鸟因噪音产生的行为变化，与选项B匹配；2. 题干问播放交通噪音的目的，原文第三段明确说明是“to see how they behaved”，即研究鸟对交通噪音的反应，对应选项C；3. 题干猜测“aggressive”的词义，前文提到鸟用歌声驱赶他人，噪音更大时变得更愤怒，结合50米处鸟的表现（angry），可知该词意为“愤怒且野性的”，对应选项D。任务二：1. 原文第二段直接给出加拉帕戈斯群岛的位置，提取即可；2. 开放性问题，结合日常减噪的可行措施，如多使用公共交通减少交通噪音，符合要求。
【答案】
任务一：1.B 2.C 3.D；任务二：1.They are located in the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean. 2.We can use public transport more to reduce traffic noise.
