02 Period II Using language—Presenting ideas Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 1 A [重庆南开中学2024期末] Many guests have had the pleasure of observing the magnificent cheetahs （猎豹） that find shelter on the Tswalu private reserve, but they might not be aware of the work to make these wild cats feel comfortable in the presence of humans. As a conservation photographer, I spent a day with conservator of Tswalu’s wildlife conservation team Clement Motau to understand what it takes to habituate cheetahs. Habituating wildlife is an ongoing process—slowly getting wild animals used to the presence of vehicles and people. Animals like cheetahs receive regular visits from the wildlife conservation team. That way they learn that in this privately protected area, humans pose no threat to them. 刷阅读理解 2 Clement, spent his early childhood in Middelburg where he lived on a farm with families, and he would go to the rural area every chance he got, including most school holidays.“I enjoyed climbing mountains and being outdoors. I always knew I wanted to work with wild animals.” He decided to study nature conservation rather than become a tour guide because “dealing with people all the time is not my strongest point.” After three years of studies, he came to Tswalu in 2016 and was offered a position on the conservation team. Though one day rarely looks the same as another, with tasks ranging from catching wild dogs to mending fences, the chance to spend time with cheetahs is an experience he particularly enjoys. 刷阅读理解 3 An hour after we first spotted Artemis, Clement’s favourite cheetah, she is still on the move, clearly looking for a meal. She is a beautiful animal, and I am in no hurry to leave. Clement, however, suggests that we do exactly that. Though she seems unbothered by our presence, we don’t want to negatively impact her chances of feeding. Wildlife tourism is an essential conservation tool, both to raise awareness and to pay for all the costs. But the well-being of the animals always comes first.“She is very obliging with us today,” he says. “So relaxed. The guides and our guests will love her. She’ll be a future star.” 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者与猎豹保育员在野生动物保护区一天的所见所闻，从而了解了猎豹如何适应环境，习惯人类活动。 刷阅读理解 4 1.What do we know about habituating wild animals?( ) A A.It’s a process to get wild animals used to humans. B.It’s done by paying random visits to wild animals. C.Wild animals will benefit from this practice. D.Such practice is limited to private reserves. 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Habituating wildlife is an ongoing process—slowly getting wild animals used to the presence of vehicles and people.可知，使野生动物适应环境是一个持续的过程，需要慢慢地让野生动物习惯车辆和人类活动。 刷阅读理解 5 2.Why did Clement choose to become a nature conservator?( ) C A.He liked a job with various tasks. B.Being a tour guide was not his dream. C.He enjoyed spending time with wild animals.

B.Artemis is warning us to keep a distance. C.Artemis is inviting us to enter her territory. D.Artemis is feeling comfortable with our presence. 解析 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的Though she seems unbothered by our presence, we don’t want to negatively impact her chances of feeding.以及So relaxed.The guides and our guests will love her.She’ll be a future star.可知，阿泰米斯似乎并未对人类的到来感到困扰，仍然在活动和捕食，表现得非常放松，说明阿泰米斯对作者他们的到来感到自在。 刷阅读理解 7 4.What is the text mainly about?( ) D A.A remarkable cheetah conservator. B.A reserve for cheetahs. C.A cheetah conservation programme. D.A tour with a cheetah conservator. 解析 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的As a conservation photographer, I spent a day with conservator of Tswalu’s wildlife conservation team Clement Motau to understand what it takes to habituate cheetahs.和下文内容可知，本文主要讲述了作者与猎豹保育员克莱门特在野生动物保护区一天的所见所闻。 刷阅读理解 8 句意：虽然每一天看起来都不一样，捕捉野狗和修补篱笆等工作都有涉及，但有机会与猎豹共度时光是他特别喜欢的经历。 长难句分析 刷阅读理解 9 核心词汇 1.magnificent adj.宏伟的，壮丽的；华丽的，富丽堂皇的 2.conservation n.（动植物、森林等的）保护；保存；节约 3.pose no threat to… 对……毫无威胁 刷阅读理解 10 B [天津四校2024高一期末联考] Butterflies, a familiar sight around the world, are disappearing now. Over the past four decades, more than 450 butterfly species have been affected by threats from climate change. In the US alone, the monarch butterfly has seen a drop of 80%, from millions of them recorded by scientists in the 1980s to only 29,000 in 2020; in 2017 scientists in Germany raised alarm bells after stressing that insects had decreased by more than 70% in 30 years. Leading environmental organisations have been working hard to find new ways of tracking butterflies. Now, there is no long-term data available to develop effective strategies in those areas where the threat is particularly widespread. The scientists also wanted to address the big problem that long-term monitoring programmes worldwide have faced for a long time: They are focused on training locals as citizen biologists, which, although successful, requires significant and continued funding. 刷阅读理解 11 In Ecuador, however, scientists have taken things one step further. The study was undertaken （开展） to fight against the serious threat of dying out that so many insects—not just butterflies—are facing. They came up with a unique approach. In Yasuni National Park, one of the world’s most diverse reserves, they started a monitoring project where park rangers （护林员） were trained and then performed monitoring. The rangers were able to identify sampled butterflies to species with impressive accuracy （准确性）—an 85% success rate—which was key for these monitoring programmes to be successful. The data gathered by the park rangers was so accurate that it did not significantly differ from the data collected by trained biologists in the area. In comparison to other monitoring projects that employ individuals from the community to act as citizen biologists, which usually terminate when funding is used up, this study represents a long-term solution. Monitoring with a system already in place means that it can continue, regardless of funding. 刷阅读理解 12 “Our approach increases the possibility of continued monitoring in the long term by saving money,” said the lead author.“What’s more, it will provide the possibility for expansion to other highly threatened and important areas for biodiversity （生物多样性） protection.” Soon, the researchers hope to expand their efforts to other parks and reserves in Ecuador and other countries. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在厄瓜多尔，科学家们想出了一种新的追踪蝴蝶的科学方法，可以节省资金，增加长期持续监测的可能性，并将为其他受到高度威胁的重要地区提供生物多样性保护的范本。 刷阅读理解 13 1.The figures in the US and Germany listed in paragraph 1 intend to ___. B A.show the rich diversity of butterflies B.describe the sharp fall in butterflies’ number C.stress scientists’ great attention to butterflies D.compare butterfly population decrease in different regions 解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的In the US alone, the monarch butterfly has seen a drop of 80%… had decreased by more than 70% in 30 years.并结合本段第一句话可推知，本段列出的美国和德国的数字旨在描述蝴蝶数量的急剧下降。 刷阅读理解 14 2.What is monitoring programmes’ long-term challenge in butterfly protection?( ) A A.The high cost of training staff. B.The wide areas to be monitored. C.The lack of professional trainers. D.The difficulty of handling existing data. 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的The scientists also wanted to address the big problem… requires significant and continued funding.可知，监测项目在蝴蝶保护方面的长期挑战是需要大量和持续的资金将当地人培训成生物学家，即员工培训的成本很高。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 15 3.What may be the biggest success of Yasuni National Park’s project?( ) C A.Attracting biologists’ attention. B.Butterflies’ being saved effectively. C.Rangers’ making accurate identification. D.Spreading technical monitoring methods. 解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的The rangers were able to identify sampled butterflies to species with impressive accuracy—an 85% success rate—which was key for these monitoring programmes to be successful.可知，亚苏尼国家公园项目最大的成功是护林员能够准确地识别采样蝴蝶的种类。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 16 4.What will the researchers do in the future?( ) A A.Share their method and experience. B.Prove long-term effects of their method. C.Test for their approach’s economic benefits. D.Compare their results with those of other areas. 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推知，研究人员将来会分享他们的方法和经验给厄瓜多尔和其他国家的其他公园和保护区。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 17 [山东省实验中学2024高一期中] When Ariel rode her bike to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, New York, she planned to go hiking and bird-watching.
