一、阅读理解。
对鲨鱼的兴趣爱好
As a child, Davon Strickland loved watching shows about sharks. Today, he is a student at Florida International University (FIU) studying sharks and has made his first appearance (公开露面) on *SharkFest*, a TV play that offers programming about the lives of sharks.
Strickland grew up in Florida and loved going to the beach and aquarium. He went to a special high school with an oceanic science program where he also played football. At FIU, he is able to continue with both of those strong hobbies. He is captain of the football team and studies oceanic biology.
His opportunity (机会) to appear on *SharkFest* came about because he is part of a research team led by Mike Heithaus that studies the actions of hammerhead sharks and bull sharks off the beach of Florida.
The *SharkFest* episode Strickland is in is named “Bull Shark vs. Hammerhead”. He is shown adding tags (标签) to bull sharks to follow their movement in the ocean. At first, Strickland didn’t know he would be in the episode. “I was super excited to be in the show,” he told reporters.
Thinking back to his years of playing football while studying to become a scientist, Strickland said he got much from balancing (平衡) the two hobbies. In football, he picked up on “how to operate as a team and pay attention to facts”. Those skills carry over into studying. He said, “You’re just using them differently.”

解析
【分析】
这是一篇人物介绍类的英语阅读理解，解题时可以按照题型特征逐步思考：1. 组合细节选择题，逐个核对题干给出的四个表述，回到原文定位对应信息，排除和原文不符的错误表述，就能锁定正确选项；2. 词义猜测题，结合上下文提到的主人公热爱海洋、常去海滩的语境，推导和海洋相关的场所含义，排除不符合语境的选项；3. 段落定位题，逐段梳理每段的核心内容，找到明确描述主人公在节目中行为的对应段落；4. 观点态度题，找到原文中主人公对两个爱好的评价相关语句，提炼出他的态度即可。
【解析】
1. 细节核对：
① 根据原文第一段第一句"As a child, Davon Strickland loved watching shows about sharks"，可知他从小就对鲨鱼相关节目感兴趣，表述正确；
② 根据原文第一段"has made his first appearance on *SharkFest*, a TV play that offers programming about the lives of sharks"，可知他参与了一部关于鲨鱼的电视节目，表述正确；
③ 全文仅提到他是佛罗里达国际大学研究鲨鱼的学生，没有提及他教授学生鲨鱼相关知识，表述错误；
④ 文中完全没有提到他要退学成为演员的相关内容，表述错误。
因此①②正确，选A。
2. 词义推导：划线词aquarium所在句提到主人公成长在佛罗里达，喜欢去海滩，结合他研究海洋生物的背景，这个词指代和水生动物相关的场所。A选项“人们可以观赏水生动物的建筑”就是水族馆的含义，完全符合语境；B选项是动物园的特征、C选项是公共休闲场地的特征、D选项是实验室的特征，均不符合，选A。
3. 段落匹配：第2段介绍主人公的成长背景和两个爱好，第3段介绍他获得上节目机会的由来，第4段明确描述了他在节目中给公牛鲨贴标签、追踪鲨鱼海洋活动的行为，第5段介绍他平衡两个爱好的收获，因此对应内容在第4段，选C。
4. 观点判断：根据原文第五段主人公的表述，他从平衡两个爱好中收获很多，踢足球学到的团队协作、关注事实的技能可以直接迁移到海洋生物研究中，说明他认为两个爱好是很有帮助的，选C。
【答案】
1.A 2.A 3.C 4.C
【知识点】
细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断
【点评】
本题属于典型的人物故事类阅读，考点覆盖了初中英语阅读最常见的四类题型，解题核心是所有答案都要从原文中找到对应依据，不能主观臆断，词义猜测题要结合上下文的语境关联推导，不要孤立猜测单词含义，整体对学生的定位信息能力有基础的考察作用。
【难度系数】
