【语篇导读】几千年来,人们通过讲寓言来传授知识或传递智慧。如今,蕾切尔·卡森则通过创作风格简单直接的寓言故事来控诉人类对环境的破坏,呼吁人们保护环境。
1.________
to teach
解析 句意为:几千年来,人们通过讲寓言来传授知识或传递智慧。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语have told,且与设空处之间无连词连接,设空处应填非谓语动词;根据并列连词or后的to pass可知,此处也应用动词不定式形式,表目的。故填to teach。
2.______

4._______
where
解析 句意为:“从前在美国的中心有一个小镇,那里的万物似乎全都与其四周的环境和平共处。”她的寓言是这样开头的,并且从许多古老的寓言中借用了一些熟悉的词语。分析句子结构可知,设空处前后都是完整的句子;设空处后的句子修饰限制前面的town,应是定语从句,先行词town指地点,关系词在从句中作地点状语,所以应用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
5.__________
borrowing
解析 句意见上一题解析。设空处前面有谓语动词begins,且两者之间没有连词连接;分析句子结构可知,____ some familiar words from many age-old fables作状语,设空处应用非谓语动词形式;her fable与borrow之间为逻辑上的主动关系,应用现在分词形式。故填borrowing。

9.________
warning
解析 句意为:然而,卡森的主题是关于环境破坏的更沉重的警告。设空处前有不定冠词a和形容词比较级more weighty,且设空处在句中作表语,应用名词形式。故填warning。
10.____________
be employed
解析 句意为:卡森证明了代代相传的简单的文学形式,今天仍然可以被用来引起人们对重要事实的关注。分析句子结构可知,设空处作宾语从句中的谓语,employ与宾语从句的主语a simple literary form之间是被动关系,且其前有情态动词can,故填be employed。

[湖南师大附中2024高二月考] Climate change and increases in drought and rainstorms pose serious challenges to our water management. An international group of scientists has brought together a large body of research on water quality in rivers worldwide. The study shows that river water quality tends to worsen during extreme weather events. As these events become more often and severe due to climate change, ecosystem health and human access to safe water may be increasingly under threat.
刷阅读理解
20
The research led by Dr Michelle van Vliet of Utrecht University analysed 965 cases of river water quality changes during extreme weather such as drought, heatwaves, rainstorms, and flooding. The analysis shows that in most cases water quality tends to become worse during droughts and heatwaves (68%), rainstorms and floods (51%), and under long-term changes in climate (56%).During droughts, less water is available to dilute contaminants (稀释污染物), while rainstorms and floods generally result in more contaminants that run off from land to rivers and streams. Improvements or mixed responses in water quality are also reported for some cases, for example when increased transport of pollutants is offset (抵消) by more dilution during flood events.
刷阅读理解
21
Water quality changes are strongly driven by changes in water temperature. Land use and other human factors such as wastewater treatment also shape how this plays out. “Understanding the complex interplay between climate, land use, and human drivers, which together influence the sources and transport of pollutants, is crucial,” says van Vliet. The research also calls for more data collection and studies of water quality in non-Western countries. “We need better monitoring of water quality in Africa and Asia. Most water quality studies now focus on rivers and streams in North America and Europe.”
The results of the study underline the urgent need for a better understanding of water quality changes during extreme weather events. It sounds an alarm to us. Only then will we be able to develop effective water management strategies that can safeguard our access to clean water and ensure ecosystem health under climate change and increasing weather extremes.

[湖北“荆、荆、襄、宜”四地七校考试联盟2023高二期中联考] A “secretive” new species of frog has been discovered on the forest floor in India’s Western Ghats mountain range. Named after the markings on its dark brown back, the starry dwarf frog is just 2 centimetres long.
The frog, whose closest relatives are a group of species native to India and Sri Lanka, is the only member of an ancient lineage(血统)dating back to millions of years ago, according to researchers from India and the US. It is unclear whether the species is descended from African or Asian frogs.
刷阅读理解
27
A group of Indian and US researchers first came across the local species hidden in leaf litter as part of a wider project to look for new frogs, lizards and snakes in the richly biodiverse region and stored it in a jar for later study. Genetic testing and a closer look at its shape, colouring and other features have shown that it doesn’t match any existing species. Kartik Shanker of the Indian Institute of Science, who helped design the study, says while it is common to find new frogs in India, this one needs to be noticed.“This particular species is not just a new species, but also a new genus(属), and that makes it a little more special,” says Shanker.
刷阅读理解
28
The number of known species of frog identified in India has climbed from around 200 to above 400 over the past two decades. While many species new to science are frequently immediately classified as endangered, it is too early to say whether the starry dwarf frog is threatened. “They are very secretive,” says Shanker, adding that the team didn’t know the size of its population. The frog is active at night and lives near water.
Habitat loss is a serious risk to frogs in tropical forests around the world, alongside threats such as a deadly fungus(真菌)that has been killing off amphibians(两栖动物)for the past four decades. But the new species was found in a reserved forest, meaning it will enjoy a degree of protection by Indian government agencies.
