(2023·重庆质检)With red claws and face—plus a large, curved black beak and crest—the crested ibis (朱鹮) is known as the beauty bird or fairy bird in China. They have existed for nearly 60 million years and were widespread in East Asia until the 1960s when the widespread use of pesticides and fertilizers, plus a loss of habitat, drove the birds to near extinction. At one point, the entire species around the world was thought to be down to only six birds.
However, Liu Yinzeng, then a researcher at Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, refused to accept what seemed to be the birds' destiny. At 42, he headed a team setting out on a mission in 1975 to search for crested ibises in the wild in China. His team searched through mountainous areas in nine provinces over three years, yet all to_no_avail. Finally, in May 1981, a breakthrough came. The team found two adult crested ibises in Yang county in Shaanxi Province. A week later, two other adult crested ibises with three chicks were found nesting in a tree at a farm in the same area.
Steps were taken to insure the birds were not disturbed, with people stationed 24/7 near the tree to prevent attacks by other animals. Farmers were also banned from using fertilizers and pesticides at the nearby farm for fear of poisoning the birds. A ban was also placed on shooting guns in case it scared the birds away.
The area where the birds were initially found became the site of the first crested ibis conservation station in China and 19 chicks were born from 1981 until 1990. A breeding program for the birds was later started in the 1990s and crested ibises began to nest in Zhejiang, Sichuan and Henan provinces. Today, some decades later, the number of crested ibises in China has reached more than 7,000 at the last count, the Chinese staterun news agency Xinhua reported this month.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了中国科学家通过不懈努力拯救了濒临灭绝的朱鹮。
4.What can we learn about the crested ibises from the first paragraph?
A.They are the most beautiful birds in China.
B.They used to be widespread across the world.
C.Human activities put them in extreme danger.
D.Climate change made their number fall sharply.
解析 C 细节理解题。根据题干定位到第一段,根据第二句可知,朱鹮已经存在了近6 000万年,广泛分布在东亚,直到20世纪60年代,由于杀虫剂和化肥的广泛使用,以及栖息地的消失,这种鸟类濒临灭绝。由此可知,是人类的活动使朱鹮处于极度危险之中。故选C。
5.What do the underlined words “to no avail” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.In vain. B.With passion.
C.By chance. D.Beyond control.
解析 A 词义猜测题。根据画线短语后文可知,1981年5月,终于有了突破。由此推测,1981年5月前所有的努力都没有效果,都是徒劳;to no avail意为“无效果;不成功”。故选A。
6.How were the crested ibises protected after they were found in the wild?
A.They were relocated to a conservation station.
B.Guns were banned to avoid illegal birdhunting.
C.People guarded them near the tree day and night.
D.A breeding program for them began immediately.
解析 C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,为了确保朱鹮不受打扰,人们每天都在树旁驻扎24小时,防止其他动物袭击。故选C。
7.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The Price China Paid in Protecting Wildlife
B.China's Roadmap to HumanNature Harmony
C.How Chinese Scientists Found Crested Ibises
D.How China Saved Crested Ibises From Extinction

Ⅲ.读后续写
(2024·重庆八中开学考试)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Younger cried. Her mum was to provide medical treatment in Pakistan for a whole year. She couldn't imagine how she would get by without her mother's company. Mum cooked her dinner every night, and Mum took good care of her. Mum was her best friend. They talked together, they spent their leisure time together, and except for school and work, they were never apart. So Younger was unhappy about her mother's leaving without even asking for her input.
“Why now? I will have college entrance exam this year!” Younger complained. Her face fell. Mum smelled a tense atmosphere hovering in the air. She carefully picked each explanatory word. But Younger had built a wall between them. Only several words like POOR, DISABILITIES, RESPONSIBILITY, SAVE...were lucky enough to float over it and into her ears. Feeling heartbroken and abandoned, she stormed into her room, banging the door shut. She threw herself onto the bed and cried like a baby. Mum knocked and knocked. But Younger just wanted to be left alone.
Younger overestimated her ability to stop Mum, to whom Pakistan was a magnet(磁铁).Two days later, Mum left for Pakistan. It seemed they went their separate ways. Younger cried a lot. Her eyes were always red, so red that her head teacher suggested she should not stay up too late attacking math problems. Her classmates also offered their ways of studying math. Only her father knew the secret.
Mum called her after settling in Pakistan for one week. The voice instantly brought a sparkle into Younger's eyes. They excitedly filled each other in on what happened recently. Mum giggled when she heard the story of Younger's red eyes. And the daughter found her mother was speaking English with a Pakistani accent.
Time wore on quickly and it was October when students had a short holiday. Younger couldn't wait to visit her Mum. Dad booked air tickets. After some preparations, they boarded the plane bound for Pakistan.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
After arrival, Younger was told her mother was out for a medical task. _______________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
Back at school, she was determined to study harder and follow Mum's lead. ___________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
One possible version:
After arrival, Younger was told her mother was out for a medical task.Younger hadn't seen her mother in a while, so she decided to visit her at work immediately. But at the moment when she arrived at her mother's work site, she saw a thin figure, working hard, tired but still firmly into the work. Time wore on quickly , and it was time to return. Younger's mother said firmly, “I'm sure you can take care of yourself at home, my dear, and you can be independent!”
Back at school, she was determined to study harder and follow Mum's lead.She knew how difficult it was to be alone in Pakistan with her mother. Since a mother can take good care of herself, she can also learn to be independent and take good care of herself. She prepared well for her college exams, and was able to independently complete various tasks assigned by her school. She has become a completely different and active person. Although her mother was not around, Younger learned to be independent. This is the power of love.
