For generations here in the deepest South, there had been a great taboo（禁忌）: publicly crossing the color line for love. Less than 45 years ago, marriage between blacks and whites was illegal, and it has been forbidden for much of the time since.
So when a great job about an hour’s drive north of the Gulf Coast attracted him, Jeffrey Norwood, a black college basketball coach, had reservations. He was in a serious relationship with a woman who was white and Asian.
“You’re thinking about a life in South Mississippi?” his father said in a skeptical voice, recalling days when a black man could face mortal（致命的） danger just being seen with a woman of another race, regardless of intentions. "Are you sure?"
But on visits to Hattiesburg, the younger Mr. Norwood said he liked what he saw: growing diversity. So he moved, married, and, with his wife, had a baby girl, who was counted on the last census（人口普查） as black, white and Asian. Taylor Rae Norwood, three, is one of thousands of mixed-race children who have made this state home to one of the nation's most rapidly expanding multiracial populations, up 70 percent between 2000 and 2010, according to new data from the Census Bureau.
In the first comprehensive accounting of multiracial Americans since statistics were first collected about them in 2000, reporting from the 2010 census, made public in recent days, shows that the nation’s mixed-race population is growing far more quickly than many researchers had estimated, particularly in the South and parts of the Midwest. That conclusion is based on the bureau’s analysis of 42 states; the data from the remaining eight states will be released soon.
In North Carolina, the mixed-race population doubled. In Georgia, it grew by more than 80 percent, and by nearly as much in Kentucky and Tennessee. In Indiana, Iowa and South Dakota, the multiracial population increased by about 70percent.
Census officials estimated the national multiracial growth rate was about 35 percent since2000 according to the known result, when seven million people ----- 2.4 percent of the population chose more than one race.
72. If a black man married a white woman 50years ago, the worst result was that _____.
A. he was sentenced to death B. he was considered to be immoral
C. he was criticized by the public D. he was treated as a lawbreaker
73. The underlined word “serious” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “____”.
A. stable B. bad C. mixed D. dangerous
74. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Jeffrey Norwood was born in Hattiesburg and grew up there.
B. Taylor Rae Norwood’s mother is a white-Asian.
C.70 percent of the people in Mississippi are multiracial.
D. Mississippi has the largest multiracial population in the US.
75. Which of the following states had the fastest growth rate of mixed-race population?
A. Georgia. B. Tennessee. C. North Carolina. D. South Dakota.
【文章解读】本文叙述了几十年间，随着世界各地不断高涨的移民潮，跨种族通婚和多种族混血儿童数量的激增，21世纪的美国比历史上任何时刻更加多元化，这不但意味着种族间的隔阂正在渐渐削减，同时也昭示着美国社会正面临更多挑战。

Australian cities can keep their native wildlife — but only if they can kick their habit of urban sprawl (无方案的扩展). That’s the finding of a new study by leading Australian environmental researchers Jessica Sushinsky, Professor Hugh Possingham and Dr Richard Fuller of The University of Queensland.
“While urban development usually reduces the number of birds in a city, building more compact (紧凑的) cities and avoiding urban sprawl can slow these reductions greatly,” says lead author Jessica Sushinsky. “Compact housing development leaves birds’ homes untouched, leading to fewer losses of birds.”
The researchers surveyed native and wild birds in Brisbane’s urban areas, including living and industrial areas, public parks and gardens, major roadways and airports. They then used statistical modeling to find out what will happen to the birds as the city grows. The first setting was compact growth — where multiple homes are built on land that previously had only one house. The second setting was sprawling growth — a familiar pattern where homes are built here and there beyond the city’s current boundaries.
The team’s forecasts showed that a much greater diversity of species was lost over 20 years in the sprawling setting compared to the more compact setting. “Urban sprawl resulted in the disappearance of many urban-sensitive birds — birds that only live in areas where there is native vegetation (植被), such as parklands and woodlands,” Ms Sushinsky says.
“On the other hand, we found the city with the compact development attracted more birds because it kept more of its parks and green areas.”
Now the Queensland Government has adopted the more compact urban growth strategy, which, Dr Richard Fuller says, is good news for Australia’s native birds. These birds are environmental specialists — they need a particular environment to do well. “While compact development means smaller backyards, it can also make our entire cities more biodiverse,” according to Dr Fuller. “The study shows that we should hold on to our green spaces instead of clearing them for sprawling development.”
This is the first time science has modeled the effects of different urban growth strategies on birds, the researchers say. “Statistical models like these are important because they help us to understand the ecological consequences of a particular decision,” says Dr Fuller.
41. The study deals with the relationship between ______.
A. city development and birds B. the environment and birds
C. humans and wildlife D. climate and wildlife
42. Why is compact urban growth better than the sprawling strategy?
A. It makes the cities more beautiful. B. It gives people larger backyards.
C. It is money-saving. D. It is bird-friendly.
43. Dr Richard Fuller thinks the Queensland Government’s action ______.
A. is really brave B. is worth praising
C. has an uncertain future D. should be performed nationwide
44. What can we learn about the study from the passage?
A. It is based on the statistics in the past.
B. It is strongly against urban development.
C. It criticizes the city environment in Brisbane.
D. It suggests leaving more green spaces for birds.
45. Where does the passage probably come from?
A. A news report. B. A travel guide. C. A health magazine. D. A history book.

【英语卷·2022届黑龙江省哈三中高三下学期第三次模拟考试（202205） 解析】C6 C
I’ve visited several controversial(有争议的) dam sites around the world. For all of them, the tension has been between the national economic advantage offered by the dam and the local environment and social damage caused by its construction. The countries often sell the power to international neighbors, rather than directly improve electricity access to the local people.
Some countries, such as Chile, which is planning to build a dam across Patagonian Rivers, and Laos, which plans to dam the Mekong, rely on energy imports and so hydro(电能) is a very attractive domestic option. Other countries, such as Brazil which is planning the world’s third largest dam at Belo Monte, China which recently complete的 the largest dam at Three Gorges, and Ethiopia which is planning dams along the Omo, insists that these dams are essential for national economic development.
The economic benefits can be huge. The Aswan Dam on Egypt’s Nile, for example, was highly controversial when it was built in the 1960’s. Yet for all the environmental damage to its downstream(下游的) river system, it’s very difficult for you to find an Egyptian that is in favor of its removal. The dam has been an outstanding economic success, bringing improved harvests from better irrigation despite drought conditions, hydropower and flood protection worth billions of dollars.
So if we accept that many controversial dams are going to be built, how can we limit their damage? Jamie Skinner, who was senior advisor to the World Commission on Dams, and now heads the Water division at the International Institute for Environment and Development, suggests the answer might be to issue dam builders with limited-length licenses. “In America, the licenses are only for 30 or 50 years, after which there is a review. The reason why many dams are being removed there now is that their licenses have expired(到期) and the dams would no longer pass the stricter environmental planning regulations, ” he says.
29. How do the countries gain their economic benefits from dams?
A. By exporting the power. B. By improving the local environment.
C. By increasing the energy charge. D. By improving the local use of electricity.
30. The examples are given in the second paragraph in order to show _____.
A. these countries are in great need of power
B. dams bring huge economic benefits to the countries
C. local people are eager to benefit from dams
D. the benefits as well as the disadvantages of dams are huge
31. Why do Egyptians oppose to removing the Aswan Dam?
A. They are used to living around the dam.
B. They are well protected against the drought.
C. They regard it as the symbol of their country.
D. They benefit from the dam more than expected.
32. What is the key way of limiting dam’s damage according to Jamie Skinner?
A. Reviewing the dams every year.
B. Giving dam builders more freedom.
C. Removing the dams every 30 or 50 years.
D. Making stricter environmental planning rules.
