When young, my parents took me to a zoo. I remember looking in admiration at two bears in a cage. Things have changed. My kids would be afraid to see animals in cages. Today, we expect animals to be held in more natural environment, and for zoos to do more to make the world a better place.
Zoos can host great conservation (保护) work. Sometimes they hold and protect endangered animals. About 40 seriously endangered animal species exist mainly in zoos. They are used for study, to start reproducing (繁殖) programs and even to reintroduce the animals to the wild. But not many zoos do enough of this. I support the recommendation of some researchers that zoos should spend at least 10% of their money on biodiversity (生物多样性) conservation. Sadly, a 1999 study showed an average spending of only 0.1%.
If zoos totally concentrate on protection, we might expect them to mostly house threatened species. But many zoos focus on the big animals that draw audiences to make money. I say that’s inappropriate (不合适的). I don’t mean zoos shouldn’t be a business. Since care of animals can be extremely expensive, it’s reasonable for zoos to open their doors to earn some money, as long as animals are kept in acceptable conditions.
Visiting animals in real life helps develop an appreciation for the natural world. Virtual-reality (VR) glasses and movies about wildlife are worthwhile, but not the same. A friend of mine who works in the Amazon puts it this way: “To love the forest, you need to smell the forest.”
Conservation should come first for all zoos, together with education and research. Without that, a zoo becomes just a business: one that the world would be better off without.
34.How did the author feel when seeing two bears in a cage in his childhood?
A.He was scared of the scene. B.He felt worried about his safety.

Blood may be thicker than water when it comes to human relationships and it seems that the same is true of jackdaws (寒鸦) after scientists found they readily change friends to gain food but stick with family even at the risk of going hungry.
Alex Thornton, a professor of leaning ability development, said, “We kept track of hundreds of wild jackdaws, each of which was equipped with a small chip. In this experiment we divided jackdaws into two groups-A or B-and programmed a pair of computer-controlled devices (装置) to provide worms. Only if individuals from the same group (AA or BB) visited together, will they get the worms.” If birds from different groups arrived together-A with B-the feeders would remain closed. Single birds would get seeds (种子), but not the worms that they preferred.
Thornton said, “We wanted to find out if jackdaws could build new relations with new partners. They might have friends in the wrong group. Do jackdaws leave them and start to hang out with individuals who are in the right group? The jackdaws turned out to be very smart, quickly learning to give up friends from the wrong group to get the best food. However, they acted differently when it came to their close relations even if they got nothing.”
Thornton said jackdaws were an excellent subject matter as they were clever and had energetic social networks. “You’ve got individuals coming and going far beyond their strong relationships, and they have lots of other company. They are similar to human society.” Michael Kings, of the University of Exeter, said, “These results help our understanding of the development of intelligence as they show that being able to track and remember information about social partners can bring them good.”
38.Which of the following do jackdaws value most according to the experiment?
A.Their family. B.Their friends.
C.Staying away from risks. D.Avoiding going hungry.
39.What can be learned about the jackdaws in the experiment?
A.Jackdaws from different groups got seeds. B.Jackdaws on their own got the worms.
C.Jackdaws with their family got nothing. D.Jackdaws from the same group got worms
40.How did the scientists carry out the search?
A.By making jackdaws behave like humans with chips.
B.By tracking the behavior of wild jackdaws when finding food.
C.By surveying how the two groups of jackdaws getting along.
D.By comparing different behaviors between humans and jackdaws.
41.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To explain the significance of the research. B.To provide possible reasons for the results.
C.To suggest application of the research findings. D.To point out the possible problem in the research.
D
Besides being a lovely and important part of marine ecosystems, baby seals might have an unusual ability. They can change the pitch (音高) of their voices to be better understood, like humans do, a new study found. A person or animal using this skill is being what’s called “vocally plastic”, or adjusting their vocal (声音的) signals in response to environmental changes that overlap or cover up their voices, according to the study published Monday in the journal Philosophical Transactions of The Royal Society.
The researchers had a number of reasons for wanting to test the vocal changes of baby harbor seals. The rare ability to copy new sounds — vocal learning — had been seen previously among adult harbor seals and a few other mammal species (哺乳动物), according to the authors. And very few mammals have the ability to change their vocal pitch to sound higher or lower, which is important for human communication. “By looking at one of the few other mammals who may be capable of learning sounds, we can better understand how we, humans, acquire speech, and finally why we are such chatty animals,” said Andrea Ravignani.
As the seals heard a speaker play a 45-minute recording consisting of high noise, low noise or no playback over several days, they naturally called out. When the baby seals heard louder sea noises, they lowered their vocal pitch. During more intense noise levels, the pups used a steadier pitch — and one seal raised its voice. This behavior, called the Lombard Effect, is typical for human speech when people talk louder to be more understandable, the authors said.
“The findings showed that seal pups have a more advanced control over their vocalisations than assumed up until now,” Ravignani said in a statement. “This control seems to be already present at only a few weeks of age. This is astonishing, as few other mammals seem capable of that.”
42.What does paragraph 1 tell us about baby seals?
A.They are cute but rare. B.They can change vocal pitch.
C.They can understand human words. D.They can be harmed by environmental changes.
43.What is the researchers’ main reason for studying baby seals?
A.To better understand adult harbor seals. B.To show their rare ability of vocal learning.
C.To know more about human communication. D.To find out how to protect them from extinction.
44.What does Ravignani intend to express in the last paragraph?
A.Baby seals can control their vocalisations when born.
B.Baby seals’ vocal ability is out of scientists’ expectation.
C.Scientists have long understood the vocal ability of baby seals.
D.Many other baby mammals are better at vocalisations than baby seals.
45.What is the best title for the text?
A.A surprising fact about baby seals B.Baby seals are cuter than assumed
C.Harbor seals are in danger of extinction D.The amazing survival ability of baby seals

4 Reasons Why Wild Animals Are So Important
As we know, the earth gives us food, medicines and materials, often through wild animals. These wild animals are important to our existence. Sadly, they are becoming extinct at an alarming rate. We need to change this loss of nature and create a future where wildlife and people thrive (蓬勃发展) again. 46 Here are some reasons why wild animals are so important to the world at large.
Wild animals keep balance in ecosystems.
47 If any part is threatened or becomes extinct, this has a knock-on effect on the whole ecosystem. sending shock waves through the environment. For ecosystems to survive and perhaps even thrive, we must protect all of our wildlife.
Diversity (多样性) means healthier ecosystems and healthier wild animals.
When there is a wildlife issue, you’ll often hear the term biodiversity, which refers to the number of species in an ecosystem. 48 Why do we consider this important? A wide variety of animals means greater productivity and better health. If there are fewer animal species, a disease that affects any species spreads faster and more effectively.
49
All of the food that we eat comes from an animal or plant. Living without various food sources causes our nutrition (营养) to suffer. Protecting wildlife and its natural habitats strengthens food safety for humans around the world.
Wildlife helps medical research.
Wild animals have helped us find important medicines that help with many diseases. 50 Many medical systems like Chinese traditional medicines still rely on herbs and spices, but even Western medicine have made great progress with wildlife research.
A.All living things are interconnected.
B.Healthy ecosystems mean a lot of diversity.
C.Or we will lose these animals to future generations.
D.People worldwide depend on wildlife for their snack.
E.Wildlife provides important nutrients for the human race.
F.The human race has always turned to nature for medicine.
G.We should notice the influence caused by wildlife on culture.

The Secret to Planting Flowers
Sumiko and her mother worked daily in their vegetable garden to earn a living. Sumiko’s job was to ensure the vegetables were never too dry. Each day Sumiko carefully watered them. She often pretended the vegetables she tended were beautiful chrysanthemums (菊花), like Mrs. Higaki’s prize flowers, the poor village’s only profitable flowers.
Mrs. Higaki, the village’s famous flower grower, was the only one who profited from selling flowers. Every year she won first prize at the Kyoto Chrysanthemum Festival. Sumiko admired Mrs. Higaki. If she could sell flowers like Mrs. Higaki, she would be able to use her earnings to support her family. But Sumiko knew she couldn’t afford to start growing chrysanthemums herself.
One day, Sumiko visited Mrs. Higaki’s garden, expressing her desire to compete in the Kyoto Chrysanthemum Festival. Mrs. Higak i laughed off Sumiko’s dreams, claiming the secret to growing prize chrysanthemums was exclusive (独有的) to her family.
However, when Mrs. Higaki threw away a withered (干枯的) plant, Sumiko saw an opportunity. She quickly bent over and retrieved (取回) the dried-up plant before rushing home. Then she created her own secret garden behind their cottage.
Sumiko planted the withered flower carefully exactly as Mrs. Higaki did, ensuring the top of the root ball was even with the soil’s surface. She bent close to the drooping (下垂的) leaves and whispered, “Grow, little flower, grow. Someday, you will bloom prettier than any flower at the festival.” She tended her plant every morning before breakfast and every evening while her mother prepared supper. Time spent with the little plant made Sumiko’s long days’ tending vegetables bearable. Her mother was pleased with how hard she worked.
As the Kyoto Chrysanthemum Festival neared, Sumiko’s plant towered over five feet tall, dwarfing (使显得矮小) Mrs. Higaki’s grandest flowers. It was not just tall, but the most beautiful rainbow chrysanthemum Sumiko had ever seen. She screamed with delight. Sumiko’s mother came running. Its beauty took her breath away. And Mrs. Higaki, who was passing by, pushing her cart filled with flowers for the festival, came to see what the excitement was, too. Mrs. Higaki’s mouth dropped open at the sight of the brilliant rainbow chrysanthemums.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Oh, Mrs. Higaki, thank you,” Sumiko said.

The festival was all Sumiko dreamed it would be.

【详解】考查名词。表示“力与美”应用名词短语the beauty and power作宾语,表示“艺术品”应用名词短语works of art或artworks作宾语。故填①the beauty and power②works of art/artworks。
26.On the plain in front of us, we can just a herd of animals.
放眼平原,我们隐约看到一群体形优美的动物。
【答案】 make out graceful
【详解】考查固定短语和形容词。对比中英文句子可知,前两空意为“隐约看到”,第三空意为“体形优美的”,“隐约看到”是固定短语make out,can是情态动词,其后跟动词原形,因此make用原形;第三空处用形容词作定语,修饰名词animals,“体形优美的”的形容词是graceful,故填make,out,graceful。
27.They , illegally, for their valuable fur.
因其珍贵的羊毛,它们正遭受非法猎杀。
【答案】 are being hunted
【详解】考查现在进行时的被动语态。根据中文提示“正在遭受捕杀”可知,这里应使用现在进行时的被动语态,形式为am/is/are being done,捕杀的英文是hunt,主语是复数,故答案填①are②being③hunted。
28.她坚持每天平均跑15英里左右,不论什么天气。
She runs about 15 miles a day every day, whatever weather it is.
【答案】 on average
【详解】考查介词短语。表示“平均”应用介词短语on average。故填①on②average。
29.通过比赛,她认识到只有努力才能成功。
Through the contest, she realized that .
【答案】only by working hard can we make it
【详解】考查动词短语、非谓语动词和部分倒装。对比中英文可知,空处表示“只有努力才能成功”,可用固定搭配only by表示“只有通过”,动名词短语working hard表示“努力”,代词we表示隐含的主语“我们”,情态动词can表示“能”,动词短语make it表示“成功”,make因位于情态动词之后应保持原形,且“only+介词短语”位于句首,句子应用部分倒装的结构,情态动词can应置于主语we之前。故填only by working hard can we make it。
30.为了提高英语水平,她决定参加学校的英语演讲比赛。
, she was determined to take part in English speech contests at school.
【答案】With the intention of improving her English
【详解】考查介词短语、动词和非谓语动词。对比中英文可知,空处表示“为了提高英语水平”,可用介词短语with the intention of表示“为了”,动词短语improve her English表示“提高(她的)英语水平”,动词improve位于介词of之后,需用动名词形式,且空处位于句首,with的首字母需大写。故填With the intention of improving her English。

When young, my parents took me to a zoo. I remember looking in admiration at two bears in a cage. Things have changed. My kids would be afraid to see animals in cages. Today, we expect animals to be held in more natural environment, and for zoos to do more to make the world a better place.
Zoos can host great conservation (保护) work. Sometimes they hold and protect endangered animals. About 40 seriously endangered animal species exist mainly in zoos. They are used for study, to start reproducing (繁殖) programs and even to reintroduce the animals to the wild. But not many zoos do enough of this. I support the recommendation of some researchers that zoos should spend at least 10% of their money on biodiversity (生物多样性) conservation. Sadly, a 1999 study showed an average spending of only 0.1%.
If zoos totally concentrate on protection, we might expect them to mostly house threatened species. But many zoos focus on the big animals that draw audiences to make money. I say that’s inappropriate (不合适的). I don’t mean zoos shouldn’t be a business. Since care of animals can be extremely expensive, it’s reasonable for zoos to open their doors to earn some money, as long as animals are kept in acceptable conditions.
Visiting animals in real life helps develop an appreciation for the natural world. Virtual-reality (VR) glasses and movies about wildlife are worthwhile, but not the same. A friend of mine who works in the Amazon puts it this way: “To love the forest, you need to smell the forest.”
Conservation should come first for all zoos, together with education and research. Without that, a zoo becomes just a business: one that the world would be better off without.
34.How did the author feel when seeing two bears in a cage in his childhood?
A.He was scared of the scene. B.He felt worried about his safety.
C.He felt sad about the caged bears. D.He was amazed by the wonder of animals.
35.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Protecting endangered animals properly.
B.Keeping animals in more natural conditions.
C.Holding non-threatened species in much greater numbers.
D.Spending part of their money on biodiversity conservation.
36.What does the author’s friend imply in his words?
A.VR helps zoos to make money.
B.Animals should live in the wild.
C.VR enables viewers to know more about wildlife.
D.Visiting animals in real life is a necessary experience.
37.What is the best title for the text?
A.Zoos need to be changed. B.Zoos should be not allowed.
C.Zoos shouldn’t be a business. D.Animals shouldn’t be kept in zoos.
【答案】34.D 35.A 36.D 37.A
【导语】本文是议论文。动物园需要做出改变,不仅要创收也要致力于动物保护工作。
34.推理判断题。根据第一段“I remember looking in admiration at two bears in a cage.(我记得我赞叹地看着笼子里的两只熊)”可知,作者看到被关在笼子里的两只熊时表现出了惊讶。故选D。
35.词句猜测题。根据第二段“Zoos can host great conservation (保护) work. Sometimes they hold and protect endangered animals.(动物园可以进行大量的保护工作。有时他们会保护濒临灭绝的动物)”以及“I support the recommendation of some researchers that zoos should spend at least 10% of their money on biodiversity (生物多样性) conservation. Sadly, a 1999 study showed an average spending of only 0.1%.(我支持一些研究人员的建议,即动物园应该将至少10%的资金用于生物多样性保护。遗憾的是,1999年的一项研究显示,平均支出仅为0.1%)”可知,动物园会保护动物,但是做得还不够。故this指的是在合理保护濒危动物方面,动物园做得不够。故选A。
36.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Virtual-reality (VR) glasses and movies about wildlife are worthwhile, but not the same. A friend of mine who works in the Amazon puts it this way: “To love the forest, you need to smell the forest.”(虚拟现实眼镜和关于野生动物的电影是值得的,但不是一回事。我的一个在亚马逊工作的朋友是这样说的:“要爱森林,你需要闻到森林的味道。”)”可推知,作者朋友的话表示身临其境去观看在大自然中生活的动物是有必要的。故选D。
37.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Conservation should come first for all zoos, together with education and research. Without that, a zoo becomes just a business: one that the world would be better off without.(所有动物园都应该把保护放在首位,同时还要进行教育和研究。如果没有这些,动物园就会变成一种商业:没有这种商业,世界会变得更好)”以及通读全文可知,作者呼吁动物园做出改变,把动物保护放在首位并辅以教育和科研。A选项“动物园需要做出改变”最符合文章标题。故选A。

Blood may be thicker than water when it comes to human relationships and it seems that the same is true of jackdaws (寒鸦) after scientists found they readily change friends to gain food but stick with family even at the risk of going hungry.
Alex Thornton, a professor of leaning ability development, said, “We kept track of hundreds of wild jackdaws, each of which was equipped with a small chip. In this experiment we divided jackdaws into two groups-A or B-and programmed a pair of computer-controlled devices (装置) to provide worms. Only if individuals from the same group (AA or BB) visited together, will they get the worms.” If birds from different groups arrived together-A with B-the feeders would remain closed. Single birds would get seeds (种子), but not the worms that they preferred.
Thornton said, “We wanted to find out if jackdaws could build new relations with new partners. They might have friends in the wrong group. Do jackdaws leave them and start to hang out with individuals who are in the right group? The jackdaws turned out to be very smart, quickly learning to give up friends from the wrong group to get the best food. However, they acted differently when it came to their close relations even if they got nothing.”
Thornton said jackdaws were an excellent subject matter as they were clever and had energetic social networks. “You’ve got individuals coming and going far beyond their strong relationships, and they have lots of other company. They are similar to human society.” Michael Kings, of the University of Exeter, said, “These results help our understanding of the development of intelligence as they show that being able to track and remember information about social partners can bring them good.”
38.Which of the following do jackdaws value most according to the experiment?
A.Their family. B.Their friends.
C.Staying away from risks. D.Avoiding going hungry.
39.What can be learned about the jackdaws in the experiment?
A.Jackdaws from different groups got seeds. B.Jackdaws on their own got the worms.
C.Jackdaws with their family got nothing. D.Jackdaws from the same group got worms
40.How did the scientists carry out the search?
A.By making jackdaws behave like humans with chips.
B.By tracking the behavior of wild jackdaws when finding food.
C.By surveying how the two groups of jackdaws getting along.
D.By comparing different behaviors between humans and jackdaws.
41.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To explain the significance of the research. B.To provide possible reasons for the results.
C.To suggest application of the research findings. D.To point out the possible problem in the research.

38.细节理解题。根据第一段“Blood may be thicker than water when it comes to human relationships and it seems that the same is true of jackdaws (寒鸦) after scientists found they readily change friends to gain food but stick with family even at the risk of going hungry.(在人际关系中,血浓于水,寒鸦似乎也是如此。科学家发现,它们为了获得食物,很容易换朋友,但即使冒着挨饿的风险,也会坚持与家人在一起)”可知,对寒鸦来说最重要的是它们的家庭。故选A。
39.细节理解题。根据第二段“Alex Thornton, a professor of leaning ability development, said, “We kept track of hundreds of wild jackdaws, each of which was equipped with a small chip. In this experiment we divided jackdaws into two groups-A or B-and programmed a pair of computer-controlled devices (装置) to provide worms. Only if individuals from the same group (AA or BB) visited together, will they get the worms.”(学习能力发展教授亚历克斯·桑顿说:“我们跟踪了数百只野生寒鸦,每只寒鸦都配备了一个小芯片。在这个实验中,我们将寒鸦分为a组和b组,并编写了一对计算机控制的设备来提供蠕虫。只有来自同一团体(AA或BB)的个体一起访问时,他们才会感染蠕虫。”)”可知,来自同一组的寒鸦得到了虫子。故选D。
40.细节理解题。根据第二段“We kept track of hundreds of wild jackdaws, each of which was equipped with a small chip.

41.推理判断题。根据最后一段“These results help our understanding of the development of intelligence as they show that being able to track and remember information about social partners can bring them good.(这些结果有助于我们理解智力的发展,因为它们表明,能够跟踪和记住社会伙伴的信息对他们有好处)”可知,该段的目的是解释研究的意义。故选A。
D
Besides being a lovely and important part of marine ecosystems, baby seals might have an unusual ability. They can change the pitch (音高) of their voices to be better understood, like humans do, a new study found. A person or animal using this skill is being what’s called “vocally plastic”, or adjusting their vocal (声音的) signals in response to environmental changes that overlap or cover up their voices, according to the study published Monday in the journal Philosophical Transactions of The Royal Society.
The researchers had a number of reasons for wanting to test the vocal changes of baby harbor seals. The rare ability to copy new sounds — vocal learning — had been seen previously among adult harbor seals and a few other mammal species (哺乳动物), according to the authors. And very few mammals have the ability to change their vocal pitch to sound higher or lower, which is important for human communication. “By looking at one of the few other mammals who may be capable of learning sounds, we can better understand how we, humans, acquire speech, and finally why we are such chatty animals,” said Andrea Ravignani.
As the seals heard a speaker play a 45-minute recording consisting of high noise, low noise or no playback over several days, they naturally called out. When the baby seals heard louder sea noises, they lowered their vocal pitch. During more intense noise levels, the pups used a steadier pitch — and one seal raised its voice. This behavior, called the Lombard Effect, is typical for human speech when people talk louder to be more understandable, the authors said.
“The findings showed that seal pups have a more advanced control over their vocalisations than assumed up until now,” Ravignani said in a statement. “This control seems to be already present at only a few weeks of age. This is astonishing, as few other mammals seem capable of that.”
42.What does paragraph 1 tell us about baby seals?
A.They are cute but rare. B.They can change vocal pitch.
C.They can understand human words. D.They can be harmed by environmental changes.
43.What is the researchers’ main reason for studying baby seals?
A.To better understand adult harbor seals. B.To show their rare ability of vocal learning.
C.To know more about human communication. D.To find out how to protect them from extinction.
44.What does Ravignani intend to express in the last paragraph?
A.Baby seals can control their vocalisations when born.
B.Baby seals’ vocal ability is out of scientists’ expectation.
C.Scientists have long understood the vocal ability of baby seals.
D.Many other baby mammals are better at vocalisations than baby seals.
45.What is the best title for the text?
A.A surprising fact about baby seals B.Baby seals are cuter than assumed
C.Harbor seals are in danger of extinction D.The amazing survival ability of baby seals
【答案】42.B 43.C 44.B 45.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了小海豹拥有调整声音音高的能力,这一发现对于理解人类语言习得有重要启示。
42.细节理解题。根据第一段的“Besides being a lovely and important part of marine ecosystems, baby seals might have an unusual ability. They can change the pitch (音高) of their voices to be better understood, like humans do, a new study found.(除了是海洋生态系统中可爱而重要的一部分外,海豹宝宝可能还有一种不同寻常的能力。一项新的研究发现,它们可以像人类一样改变声音的音高,以更好地被理解)”可知,第一段主要告诉我们小海豹能够调整它们的声音音高以更好地被理解。故选B。
43.细节理解题。根据第二段的“And very few mammals have the ability to change their vocal pitch to sound higher or lower, which is important for human communication.“By looking at one of the few other mammals who may be capable of learning sounds, we can better understand how we, humans, acquire speech, and finally why we are such chatty animals,” said Andrea Ravignani.(很少有哺乳动物能够改变音高,使其听起来更高或更低,这对人类交流很重要。Andrea Ravignani说:“通过观察其他少数能够学习声音的哺乳动物之一,我们可以更好地了解我们人类是如何获得语言的,以及为什么我们是如此健谈的动物。”)”可知,研究人员研究小海豹的主要原因是想通过了解这种可能同样具备声音学习能力的哺乳动物,从而更好地理解人类如何习得语言,以及为何人类如此善于交流。故选C。
44.细节理解题。根据最后一段的““The findings showed that seal pups have a more advanced control over their vocalisations than assumed up until now,” Ravignani said in a statement. “This control seems to be already present at only a few weeks of age. This is astonishing, as few other mammals seem capable of that.”(Ravignani在一份声明中说:“研究结果表明,海豹幼崽对发声的控制比迄今为止想象的要先进。”。“这种控制似乎在几周大的时候就已经存在了。这令人惊讶,因为似乎很少有其他哺乳动物能够做到这一点。”)”可知,最后一段中Ravignani表示,小海豹对它们的声音有着比之前假设更为高级的控制能力,这令人惊讶,因为很少有其他哺乳动物能够做到这一点。所以,Ravignani想要表达的是海豹宝宝的发声能力出乎科学家们的意料。故选B。
45.主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Besides being a lovely and important part of marine ecosystems, baby seals might have an unusual ability. They can change the pitch (音高) of their voices to be better understood, like humans do, a new study found.(除了是海洋生态系统中可爱而重要的一部分外,海豹宝宝可能还有一种不同寻常的能力。一项新的研究发现,它们可以像人类一样改变声音的音高,以更好地被理解)”以及全文可知,文章主要揭示了一个关于小海豹的令人惊讶的事实——它们能够改变声音的音高来适应环境,这在哺乳动物中是罕见的能力。所以“关于海豹宝宝的一个令人惊讶的事实”适合作本文的标题。故选A。

4 Reasons Why Wild Animals Are So Important
As we know, the earth gives us food, medicines and materials, often through wild animals. These wild animals are important to our existence. Sadly, they are becoming extinct at an alarming rate. We need to change this loss of nature and create a future where wildlife and people thrive (蓬勃发展) again. 46 Here are some reasons why wild animals are so important to the world at large.
Wild animals keep balance in ecosystems.
47 If any part is threatened or becomes extinct, this has a knock-on effect on the whole ecosystem. sending shock waves through the environment. For ecosystems to survive and perhaps even thrive, we must protect all of our wildlife.
Diversity (多样性) means healthier ecosystems and healthier wild animals.
When there is a wildlife issue, you’ll often hear the term biodiversity, which refers to the number of species in an ecosystem. 48 Why do we consider this important? A wide variety of animals means greater productivity and better health. If there are fewer animal species, a disease that affects any species spreads faster and more effectively.
49
All of the food that we eat comes from an animal or plant. Living without various food sources causes our nutrition (营养) to suffer. Protecting wildlife and its natural habitats strengthens food safety for humans around the world.
Wildlife helps medical research.
Wild animals have helped us find important medicines that help with many diseases. 50 Many medical systems like Chinese traditional medicines still rely on herbs and spices, but even Western medicine have made great progress with wildlife research.
A.All living things are interconnected.
B.Healthy ecosystems mean a lot of diversity.
C.Or we will lose these animals to future generations.
D.People worldwide depend on wildlife for their snack.
E.Wildlife provides important nutrients for the human race.
F.The human race has always turned to nature for medicine.
G.We should notice the influence caused by wildlife on culture.

Thomas told CNN that though he 52 the support of human volunteers, he missed the feeling of 53 . In 2015, he established the Running Guides programme 54 dogs to support runners. When selecting his partners for the New York race, he chose siblings (兄妹) Waffle and Westley to join Gus, his full-time guide dog. “The 55 is really important. You can’t just 56 the harness (系带) and go for a run with these dogs,” Thomas explained. “You’re training with a team whatever kind of 57 you are, and you want to spend time together in that training camp.”
Each dog sets its own 58 — Westley runs an eight-minute mile, while his sister Watle can 59 the same distance in six minutes—and helps Thomas 60 obstacles (障碍物). Gus was chosen to run the final 61 of the race and 62 the finish line with Thomas. He 63 from his duties as a guide dog at the end of the race, which meant he would leave the track field forever. “It’s a little 64 for me because he’s always been there with me,” Thomas said.
After the race, Thomas commented that guide dogs gave people like him the 65 to do whatever a sighted person does, and sometimes, even ran a little faster than them.

七、书面表达

The Secret to Planting Flowers
Sumiko and her mother worked daily in their vegetable garden to earn a living. Sumiko’s job was to ensure the vegetables were never too dry. Each day Sumiko carefully watered them. She often pretended the vegetables she tended were beautiful chrysanthemums (菊花), like Mrs. Higaki’s prize flowers, the poor village’s only profitable flowers.
Mrs. Higaki, the village’s famous flower grower, was the only one who profited from selling flowers. Every year she won first prize at the Kyoto Chrysanthemum Festival. Sumiko admired Mrs. Higaki. If she could sell flowers like Mrs. Higaki, she would be able to use her earnings to support her family. But Sumiko knew she couldn’t afford to start growing chrysanthemums herself.
One day, Sumiko visited Mrs. Higaki’s garden, expressing her desire to compete in the Kyoto Chrysanthemum Festival. Mrs. Higak i laughed off Sumiko’s dreams, claiming the secret to growing prize chrysanthemums was exclusive (独有的) to her family.
However, when Mrs. Higaki threw away a withered (干枯的) plant, Sumiko saw an opportunity. She quickly bent over and retrieved (取回) the dried-up plant before rushing home. Then she created her own secret garden behind their cottage.
Sumiko planted the withered flower carefully exactly as Mrs. Higaki did, ensuring the top of the root ball was even with the soil’s surface. She bent close to the drooping (下垂的) leaves and whispered, “Grow, little flower, grow. Someday, you will bloom prettier than any flower at the festival.” She tended her plant every morning before breakfast and every evening while her mother prepared supper. Time spent with the little plant made Sumiko’s long days’ tending vegetables bearable. Her mother was pleased with how hard she worked.
As the Kyoto Chrysanthemum Festival neared, Sumiko’s plant towered over five feet tall, dwarfing (使显得矮小) Mrs. Higaki’s grandest flowers. It was not just tall, but the most beautiful rainbow chrysanthemum Sumiko had ever seen. She screamed with delight. Sumiko’s mother came running. Its beauty took her breath away. And Mrs. Higaki, who was passing by, pushing her cart filled with flowers for the festival, came to see what the excitement was, too. Mrs. Higaki’s mouth dropped open at the sight of the brilliant rainbow chrysanthemums.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Oh, Mrs. Higaki, thank you,” Sumiko said.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The festival was all Sumiko dreamed it would be.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“Oh, Mrs. Higaki, thank you,” Sumiko said, her eyes sparkling with gratitude. “Without your ‘secret,’ I never would have discovered the true magic — love and patience. My flower grew from the heart, not from any exclusive method.” Mrs. Higaki, stunned, finally smiled, realizing the true secret to growing prize flowers wasn’t a technique but the tender care one gave. She congratulated Sumiko, admitting her own neglect in understanding the essence of nurturing life.
The festival was all Sumiko dreamed it would be. Her rainbow chrysanthemum won first prize, bringing honor to her family and the village. As people admired her flower, Sumiko shared her story, inspiring others to find beauty and success through dedication and love. Mrs. Higaki, now a mentor to Sumiko, joined her in spreading the real secret to growing not just flowers, but happiness — a garden of dreams bloomed within everyone’s reach.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述Sumiko与母亲种菜为生,她梦想能像村里唯一的花农Higaki夫人那样种花赚钱养家。Higaki夫人嘲笑Sumiko的梦想,声称种花的秘诀是家族独有。Sumiko偶然得到Higaki夫人丢弃的一株干枯菊花,细心照料后,这花在京都菊花节前夕长得异常高大美丽,令所有人惊叹不已。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“‘哦,Higaki夫人,谢谢你,’Sumiko说。”可知,第一段可描写Sumiko的菊花让Higaki夫人惊诧不已,Higaki夫人承认自己在理解培育生命的本质方面存在疏忽。
②由第二段首句内容“这个节日就像Sumiko梦想的那样。”可知,第二段可描写Sumiko的菊花给她带来荣誉,Higaki夫人成为她的导师。
2.续写线索:Sumiko感谢Higaki夫人——Higaki夫人惊诧不已并承认自己不足——Sumiko分享故事激励他人——和Higaki夫人一道养花和传播幸福
3.词汇激活

①发现:discover/find out
②承认:admit/acknowledge/recognize
