Ⅰ 忆课文·语篇理解
Charles Darwin was a geologist and naturalist, 1 (fascinate) by plants and animals. He left England on the ship, the Beagle, in 1831 and the journey gave him the chance 2 (study) various living things. As he studied samples of the plants and animals he 3 (collect), he asked himself: how did different species come to exist?
目录
4 was believed then that all species had appeared at the same time and hadn't changed since. But Darwin noticed that some species of animals were similar to each other and thought animals evolved as they adapted to their changing 5 (environment). In 1835, Darwin was interested in birds and noticed there was a difference between the finches on each of the Galápagos Islands. That was the answer 6 the question: they evolved from earlier ancestors.
It was 7 completely new idea—theory of 8 (evolve). Darwin explained his theory in his book On the Origin of Species, which 9 (publish) in 1859 and immediately caused a storm. Today, it is regarded as one of the 10 (important) works and has changed ideas about life on Earth.

答案
目录
1 (talk) plants have been a thing of myths. New research has revealed that plants can communicate.
Plants use chemicals to communicate. For example, when 2 bean plant gets attacked by insects,it releases chemicals. Another bean plant detects them and starts to release 3 (it) own chemicals. These chemicals drive insects away or attract wasps 4 (kill) the insects. Scientists hope to learn about this warning system, so 5 we can use it to grow crops without pesticides.
More surprisingly, plants use sound to communicate. Some plants make 6 (noise) and “listen” to the noises from other plants.
目录
Most surprisingly, plants have an 7 (amaze) system of communication—the “wood wide web”, similar to the Internet. Linked underground by 8 (fungus), the network links the roots of plants and plants can share information and food. The web has its own version of “cybercrime”. Perhaps scientists will learn 9 to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks.
Scientists are learning more about the secret ways in 10 plants talk to each other. Maybe we will know enough about plant communication to be able to “talk” with them ourselves.

目录
Qaanaaq, Greenland//Kiliii Yüyan
Photographer Kiliii Yüyan is no stranger to documenting the daily lives of native peoples and the issues they face around the world. He commits himself to capturing surprising and unique images for each story while his colleague Mallory has quit in their tracks. In his story, two cousins push strollers (婴儿车) across a snowy plain in Greenland on their way to annual dogsled races. The story itself challenges readers to think about how to treat their ecosystem without destroying it and gives more insight into the daily lives of Inughuit women.

Canary Islands, Spain//Carsten Peter
It's hard to capture the speed, texture, and sense of danger of lava flowing from a volcanic eruption, but that's what photographer Carsten Peter achieved with this image. He documented the 85day eruption for National Geographic, then returned to focus on the damage and on the scientific fieldwork that had been done once the slowmoving lava had cooled.
Minneriya. Sri Lanka//Brent Stirton
Photographer Brent Stirton provided a window into these animals' lives, which she hopes will increase awareness and stir up sympathy through the photo.
*
目录
The image was tough to capture not only because Stirton needed to get close to the wild animals for the frame but also because it was a challenging time to work in Sri Lanka. The government was collapsing in economic decline. “I think there's an opportunity to show people a side of animals they may have not seen before,” she says.

(2024·重庆巴蜀中学高三月考)The conventional wisdom about insects has been that they are unthinking, unfeeling creatures whose behavior is entirely hardwired (天生的). But in the 1990s researchers began making surprising discoveries about insect minds. Some species of wasps (黄蜂) recognize their nest mates' faces and acquire impressive social skills. For example, they can infer the fighting strengths of other wasps relative to their own just by watching other wasps fight among themselves.
Given the substantial work on the complexity of insect cognition (认知), it might seem surprising that it took scientists so long to ask whether, if they are that smart, could also be sentient, capable of feeling. Since we have no direct window into the inner world of an animal that cannot verbally communicate its thoughts and feelings, the question of whether insects are sentient remained academic.

15 years ago, I performed an experiment in which we asked whether bumblebees could learn about threat from their natural enemies. We built a plastic spider model with a mechanism that would briefly trap a bumblebee between two sponges before releasing it. The bumblebees showed a significant change in their behavior after being attacked by the robotic spider. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they learned to avoid flowers with spiders and meticulously scanned every flower before landing. Curiously, however, they sometimes even fled from imaginary threats, scanning and then abandoning a perfectly safe, spiderfree flower. Although this incidental observation did not constitute formal evidence of an emotionlike state, it did open the door to the idea that such states might exist in insects.

Some research suggested that insects might have positive states of mind. Researchers discovered that bees actively seek out drugs such as nicotine and caffeine when given the choice and even treat themselves with nicotine when sick. Male fruit flies stressed by being robbed of mating opportunities prefer food containing alcohol, and bees even show withdrawal symptoms when removed from an alcoholrich diet.
Why would insects consume mindaltering substances if there isn't a mind to alter? But these suggestive hints of negative and positive mind states still fell short of what was needed to demonstrate that insects are sentient.

4.What does the example of the wasps indicate?
A.Insects show signs of intelligence.
B.Insects can do complex calculations.
C.Insects can socialize in a skillful way.
D.Insects live in highly complex societies.
答案: A 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Some species of wasps (黄蜂) ... other wasps fight among themselves.”可知,有些种类的黄蜂能认出巢中同伴的脸,并获得令人印象深刻的社交技巧,它们还可以通过观察其他黄蜂之间的战斗来推断出其他黄蜂相对于自己的战斗力。由此可推知,作者用黄蜂举例是为了证明昆虫有判断力,有智力的迹象。故选A。

5.What does the underlined word “meticulously” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Hesitantly. B.Casually.
C.Eagerly. D.Carefully.
答案: D 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“The bumblebees showed a significant change in their behavior after being attacked by the robotic spider.(在被机器蜘蛛攻击后,大黄蜂的行为发生了重大变化。)”可推知,画线词所在句表示,也许不足为奇的是,它们学会了避开有蜘蛛的花朵,并在着陆前仔细扫描每一朵花。由此可知,meticulously与carefully同义,意为“仔细地,小心地”。故选D。
