As a possible way to save them from extinction, scientists have recently frozen and revived groups of adult corals for the first time, according to a recent study. Freezing biological materials, or“cryopreserving” them, refers to keeping them in a deep freeze for long periods without affecting the cell's viability(活性), according to the Science Times website. This method usually cools them to very low temperatures, commonly to ­196℃. Since cells would normally die at such a low temperature due to the formation of ice inside, scientists need to monitor the freezing rate and choose the freezing medium carefully. Researchers in the US experimented with freezing pea­sized pieces of a common coral in Hawaii. After removing the microbes on the corals, they sealed the corals in metal containers filled with a chemical solution that partially dehydrated(脱水)them and helped control ice growth. When the corals reached a temperature of around ­200℃， the remaining water in the corals solidified into a glassy form. The corals were still alive, with their life­driving functions becoming extremely slow. After being cryopreserved for a few minutes, the researchers pulled the corals out and placed them in warm water. In two minutes, they started consuming oxygen—a sign of them staying alive. Previously, researchers had already successfully cryopreserved coral larvae(幼虫), according to a study in 2018. However, the larvae can only be collected when corals lay eggs, which happens just a few nights each year. “That's putting a lot of eggs in one basket，” US marine scientist Liza Roger told Science News. This breakthrough offers more hope to the world's corals, said Roger. However, there's more work to be done. A few days after thawing(解冻), the corals became “stressed out” from the process and were killed by the bacteria they normally live in harmony with. The researchers are working on using antibiotics to help them survive for a longer period of time. [语篇导读]　本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家通过冷冻的方式来保护珊瑚礁免于灭绝。 4. What is the purpose of the recent study? A．To bring dead corals back to life. B．To freeze and revive coral larvae. C．To find a way to preserve corals. D．To study the conditions of coral growth. 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段“As a possible way to save them from extinction, scientists have recently frozen and revived groups of adult corals for the first time”可知，科学家将珊瑚冷冻是为了使它们免于灭绝。故选C。 答案　C 5. What happened to the corals when they were cryopreserved? A．They died for the time being. B．Their life functions slowed down. C．They remained alive and unchanged． D．They fed on microbes in the containers. 解析　细节理解题。根据第五段“The corals were still alive, with their life­driving functions becoming extremely slow.”可知，当珊瑚被冷冻时，它们还活着，但是它们的生命机能减缓。故选B。 答案　B 6. What does Roger think about cryopreserving coral larvae? A．It is not a reliable solution. B．It needs a large number of eggs. C．It holds promise for restoring corals. D．It requires overly expensive technology. 解析　推理判断题。根据第六段可知，之前科学家成功冷冻了珊瑚的幼虫，但是珊瑚的幼虫只有在珊瑚产卵的时候才能收集，而珊瑚产卵每年只发生在几个夜晚，因此Roger认为那等于是把很多鸡蛋放在一个篮子里，言外之意是这个方法很不可靠。故选A。 答案　A 7. What issue do the researchers still need to approach? A．Finding a suitable freezing medium. B．Identifying the bacteria on the corals. C．Expanding the collection of coral larvae. D．Maintaining the corals' health after thawing. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，在解冻几天后，由于在冷冻的过程中珊瑚受到了伤害，它们被在正常情况下与之和谐共处的细菌杀死，因此科学家正在着手使用抗生素来帮助它们存活更长的时间。故选D。 答案　D C (白城高二期末)Scientists have discovered a new behaviour among bumblebees that tricks plants into flowering early. When lack of pollen, bumblebees will bite little by little on the leaves of flowerless plants.The damage seems to fool the plant into flowering, sometimes up to 30 days earlier than normal. With their hairy appearance and special sounds, bumblebees are hard to miss in gardens all over the world．Their hairy bodies make them excellent pollinators for crops like tomatoes and blueberries.They are among the first bees to appear each year and work a long season. But despite their key role, bumblebees, like many other pollinators have seen their numbers decline suddenly in recent decades.One recent study pointed to climate change, reporting that an increasing number of hot days in Europe and North America was raising local bumblebees extinction rates. But researchers have now made a discovery about bumblebees that could have something to do with their long term survival.Scientists in Switzerland found that when the bumblebees were out of pollen, they started to bite on the leaves of plants that hadn't yet flowered．They used their mouths to cut clearly­shaped holes in the leaves.But the creatures didn't eat the material or use it in their nests. The damaged plants responded by flowering earlier than normal—in some cases up to 30 days ahead of schedule.Researchers also found that the bee damaged plants flowered 30 days earlier than undamaged plants and 25 days earlier than ones damaged by the scientists. “I think everything that we've found is consistent with the idea that the bumblebees are damaging the plants and that that's an adaptation that brings flowers earlier and that benefits the bees，” said Dr.Mark Mescher, one of the authors from ETH Zurich. [语篇导读]　这是一篇说明文。主要说明了科学家们发现了大黄蜂的一种新行为，这种行为可以诱骗植物提早开花。文章介绍了大黄蜂的重要性以及面临的问题。 8．How do bumblebees fool plants into flowering earlier? A．By making use of the hot weather. B．By putting the false flowers on the leaves. C．By attacking the leaves of flowerless plants. D．By taking away the pollen from the other flowers. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段“When lack of pollen, bumblebees will bite little by little on the leaves of flowerless plants.The damage seems to fool the plant into flowering, sometimes up to 30 days earlier than normal.(当花粉缺乏时，大黄蜂会一点一点地咬掉无花植物的叶子。这种损害似乎会让植物开花，有时会比正常情况提前30天开花。)”可知，大黄蜂通过攻击无花植物的叶子来让植物提早开花的。故选C。 答案　C 9．What's bumblebees' key role? A．Making plants flower early. B．Spreading pollen to flowers and plants. C．Sending information about weather change. D．Finding out whether the plant has flowers. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段“Their hairy bodies make them excellent pollinators for crops like tomatoes and blueberries.(它们毛茸茸的身体使它们成为番茄和蓝莓等作物的绝佳传粉者。)”可知，大黄蜂的关键作用是给花和植物传播花粉。故选B。 答案　B 10．What has happened to bumblebees in the past years? A．They are becoming homesick. B．They are not as friendly as before. C．There is a sharp decrease in number. D．They have been busy year by year. 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段“But despite their key role, bumblebees, like many other pollinators have seen their numbers decline suddenly in recent decades.(但是，尽管大黄蜂扮演着关键角色，和其他许多传粉者一样，它们的数量在最近几十年急剧下降。)”可知，在过去的几年里，大黄蜂数量急剧减少。故选C。 答案　C 11．What's Dr.Mark Mescher's attitude towards the behaviour of bumblebees? A．Uncaring.　　　　　 B．Skeptical. C．Tolerant. D．Objective. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘I think everything that we've found is consistent with the idea that the bumblebees are damaging the plants and that that's an adaptation that brings flowers earlier and that benefits the bees，’ said Dr.Mark Mescher, one of the authors from ETH Zurich.(来自苏黎世联邦理工学院的Mark Mescher博士说：“我认为我们所发现的一切都与大黄蜂正在破坏植物的观点相一致，这是一种适应，使开花时间提前，并使蜜蜂受益。”)”可推知，Mark Mescher博士对大黄蜂的行为持客观态度。故选D。 答案　D D (潍坊高二期中)The 97­year­old botanist, Margaret Bradshaw, is the chief caretaker of Teesdale's rarest flowers. “Everything about Teesdale is unique，” says Bradshaw with pride—and the authority of someone who has just written a 288­page book on the subject. Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases. Her data was the first to prove that—and the need to do something about it. The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one. The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000, as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep. Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas, reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive. Longer grass overshadows the delicate(娇嫩的)flowers, taking away the light they need to grow. As a result of her findings and her work with farmers who herd the land—as well as Natural England, which manages it—sheep numbers are increasing and the timing of herding is being carefully managed． This has led to the partial recovery of some plants. At 93, she set up Teesdale Special Flora Research and Conservation Trust to record rare plants. A keen horse rider, at 95, she did a 55­mile horse journey across Teesdale, raising almost $10，000 for the Trust. When asked about the secret to longevity, “Just keep going，”she says. “Keep at it. Don't sit down and just watch TV.” “I recognise I'm getting older and I've been trying to get more people to take over and do the records. They don't believe I won't be here forever，”Bradshaw says. Despite Bradshaw's guardianship of this land, and the love and energy she has put into saving it, the future here is unknown. The last words of her book speak to this endless loss.“This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours，”she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.” [语篇导读]　这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了97岁的植物学家玛格丽特·布拉德肖(Margaret Bradshaw)是提斯代尔最稀有花卉的主要看护人，她希望让更多的人接手并做记录并且开创这个事业。 12．What is Margaret Bradshaw's main work with the rare plants? A．Writing a book. B．Preventing their decrease. C．Collecting their data． D．Directing farmers to grow plants. 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段“Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases. Her data was the first to prove that—and the need to do something about it.(布拉德肖从20世纪50年代初就开始记录这里的珍稀植物，并见证了它们的大幅减少。她的数据是第一个证明这一点的人，也证明了对此采取措施的必要性。)”可知，布拉德肖在珍稀植物方面的主要工作是收集它们的数据。故选C。 答案　C 13．What contributed to the reduction of rare plants in Teesdale? A．Not enough sheep. B．Lack of fund． C．Poor management. D．Too many sheep. 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段“The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one. The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000, as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep. Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas, reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive. Longer grass overshadows the delicate(娇嫩的)flowers, taking away the light they need to grow.(这些植物减少的主要原因是一个不寻常的原因。到2000年，提斯代尔的羊的数量减少了一半，因为人们普遍认为高地上羊太多了。布拉德肖说，虽然羊在一些高地地区被猎杀，但在提斯代尔减少放牧是具有破坏性的。较长的草遮住了娇弱的花朵，带走了它们生长所需的光。)”可知，没有足够的羊导致了提斯代尔稀有植物的减少。故选A。 答案　A 14．What can we learn from Bradshaw's words in the last paragraph? A．Unity brings strength. B．Many hands make light work. C．Youthful at heart, regardless of age. D．Advance what the forerunners began. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours，’ she writes. ‘In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.’(“这是我们的遗产，这种独特的植物物种，我的和你的，”她写道。“尽管我努力了，但还是没能阻止它的减少，现在就看你的了。”)”可知，布拉德肖希望推进先行者开创的这个事业。故选D。 答案　D 15．Which might be a suitable title for the text? A．Teesdale: Home to Rare Plants B．Battling for Teesdale's Wildflowers C．Bradshaw: A 97­Year­Old Gardener D．Exploring Teesdale's Unique Plants 解析　主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“‘I recognise I'm getting older and I've been trying to get more people to take over and do the records. They don't believe I won't be here forever，’ Bradshaw says. Despite Bradshaw's guardianship of this land, and the love and energy she has put into saving it, the future here is unknown. The last words of her book speak to this endless loss. ‘This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours，’ she writes. ‘In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.’(“我意识到我年纪越来越大了，我一直在努力让更多的人接手并做记录。他们不相信我不会永远在这里，”布拉德肖说。尽管布拉德肖守护着这片土地，她为拯救这片土地付出了爱和精力，但这里的未来仍是未知的。她书中的最后几句话讲述了这种无尽的失落。“这是我们的遗产，这种独特的植物物种，我的和你的，”她写道。“尽管我努力了，但还是没能阻止它的减少，现在就看你的了。”)”可知，文章主要讲的是植物学家玛格丽特·布拉德肖是提斯代尔最稀有花卉的主要看护人，她希望让更多的人推进这个事业。最好的标题是“为提斯代尔的稀有花卉而奋斗”。故选B。 答案　B 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (青岛二中高二期中)More than 40 percent of Antarctica's ice shelves have reduced in the past 25 years, potentially accelerating sea level rise by allowing more land ice to flow into the ocean. 16 They play a critical role in slowing the flow of ice on land into the ocean by essentially acting as a wall and surround nearly the entire coastline of Antarctica．When ice shelves thin or retreat(消退), ice on the land can flow into the ocean more quickly and accelerate sea level rise. Healthy ice shelves naturally retreat and grow over time. An ice shelf is continuously flowing and advancing but will also lose mass through melting or calving, which is when its front breaks off into the ocean. 17 But the large portion of steadily shrinking ice shelves shows this natural cycle is off. In West Antarctica, the Getz Ice Shelf experienced some of the biggest ice losses, shedding 1.9 trillion tons of ice over the study period． Most ice shelves in East Antarctica, however, increased in volume or stayed the same. 18 Region is protected by a band of cold water at the coast, which helps keep nearby warm water at bay. Even so, the study still showed pockets of shrinking ice shelves, and researchers are still investigating the reasons. 19 The current ice shelf data set is not long enough for researchers to definitively make climate change connection yet, but it would be a remarkable coincidence if the natural variability in ice shelves were just that much larger. 20 But we don't need to hit it before seeing an effect on the planet. A．Then it can gain ice from the land and grow again. B．Ice shelves are massive floating sections of ice extending from glaciers on land． C．The east is not as exposed to the warm water like the other side of the continent. D．The thinning of the ice shelves has shown up in the surrounding environment, too. E．Ice shelves not just the big ones, are steadily losing mass over time with no sign of recovery. F．One theory is that the warmer water on the western side could be slowly coming in the region. G．Additionally, climate models predict ice shelves will steadily shrink in a warming world as observed, eventually hitting a tipping point for ice sheet collapse. [语篇导读]　这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在过去的25年里，南极洲40%以上的冰架已经减少，这可能会使更多的陆地冰流入海洋，从而加速海平面上升。 16．解析　下文“They play a critical role in slowing the flow of ice on land into the ocean by essentially acting as a wall and surround nearly the entire coastline of Antarctica．When ice shelves thin or retreat(消退), ice on the land can flow into the ocean more quickly and accelerate sea level rise.(它们在减缓陆地上的冰流入海洋方面发挥着关键作用，基本上起到了一堵墙的作用，几乎包围了南极洲的整个海岸线。当冰架变薄或消退时，陆地上的冰可以更快地流入海洋，加速海平面上升。)”说明了南极冰架的作用。空出引出下文，介绍什么是南极冰架。B项中的“Ice shelves”是下文They所指代的对象，说明冰架是从陆地冰川延伸出来的巨大漂浮冰块，它们起着重要的作用。故选B。 答案　B 17．解析　上文“Healthy ice shelves naturally retreat and grow over time. An ice shelf is continuously flowing and advancing but will also lose mass through melting or calving, which is when its front breaks off into the ocean.(健康的冰架会随着时间的推移自然后退和增长。冰架在不断地流动和前进，但也会通过融化或崩解而失去质量，而崩解是发生在冰架前缘断裂进入海洋的时候。)”说明冰架是可以自然的消退和增长的。空处承接上文，表明冰架会融化或崩解，也会再次生长。A项中的“gain ice from the land and grow again”和“naturally retreat and grow over time”相呼应。故选A。 答案　A 18．解析　上文“Most ice shelves in East Antarctica, however, increased in volume or stayed the same.(然而，南极东部大部分冰架的体积都在增加或保持不变。)”以及下文“Region is protected by a band of cold water at the coast, which helps keep nearby warm water at bay.(这片区域受到海岸的一股冷水的保护，这有助于防止附近的温水进入。)”说明南极东部大部分冰架的体积都在增加或保持不变是因为附近的温水没有进入。空处承接前文，说明南极东部大部分冰架的体积都在增加或保持不变的原因。C项“东部不像大陆的另一边那样暴露在温暖的海水中。”符合语境。故选C。 答案　C 19．解析　上文“Even so, the study still showed pockets of shrinking ice shelves, and researchers are still investigating the reasons.(即便如此，这项研究仍然显示了冰架缩小的区域，研究人员仍在调查原因。)”说明研究人员在调查该区域冰架缩小的原因。空处承接上文，F项中的One theory 和“investigating the reasons”相呼应，表明调查的一个原因可能是西区的暖水可能正慢慢进入该地区。故选F。 答案　F 20．解析　上文“The current ice shelf data set is not long enough for researchers to definitively make climate change connection yet, but it would be a remarkable coincidence if the natural variability in ice shelves were just that much larger.(目前的冰架数据集还不足以让研究人员明确地将气候变化联系起来，但如果冰架的自然变异性大得多，这将是一个惊人的巧合。)”说明虽然数据还不足以明确地将冰架减少和气候变化联系起来，但是因为冰架的变化非常大，所以还是推测和气候变化有关。空处进一步表明这一观点，G项中的Additionally和前文是递进关系，G项“此外，气候模型预测，在观察到的全球变暖的情况下，冰架将稳步缩小，最终达到冰盖崩塌的临界点。”符合语境。故选G。 答案　G 第二部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节　(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 (黄冈高二期末)After a lifetime of bringing nature back, Sir David Attenborough wants us to get out of our comfort zones and help save the natural world．“I think it's terrible that children should 21 without knowing what a tadpole(蝌蚪)is.It is very 22 ，” he says.He sees a very different world: Arctic sea ice has 23 and some of the reefs where he dived are lifeless.His latest film, A life On Our Planet, highlights the large scale of humanity's impact on 24 ．He says, the earth is heating up and could possibly 25 it into sudden, catastrophic disaster.Probably no one else alive has 26 as much of the Earth's surface as Attenborough.He warned if we don't mind our ways, we will 27 life as we know it, including ourselves.

Its face was so noticeable that he recognized it immediately.Great gray owls were rare and endangered, and he might never see one again.Oliver was still staring when he realized his dad was sitting up too.“See that？”His father nodded, a look of wonder on his face.“A great gray owl…I never thought I'd actually see one.” In the morning, Oliver wandered around the campsite with his binoculars(望远镜).Then he saw a big nest in an Oregon ash.He climbed up the tree and looked inside—four smooth white eggs! He fished out an old digital camera and took a bunch of photos.Back at the campsite, he showed the photos to his dad, who agreed: owl eggs. Then Dad handed him a cell phone，“Read the news.”Oliver read the headline: “New Shopping Mall Under Discussion.” The new mall would have Oliver's favorite sporting goods store.Sweet.But when he read its location, his smile faded．“That's right where we saw the owl.They can't do that！”Oliver said．“I don't think they should build that mall there.” He looked down at the news again.“On Tuesday there's a town council meeting to vote whether to build it there.Can I go？”“That's an excellent idea，”said his dad． But when Oliver biked over to the meeting, no one took him seriously. “That's nice that you're interested in birds，”said the town council president.“Why not write a paper for your science class？”The president was treating the 14­year­old like he was 5. “I have photos of a nest，”Olive insisted．“With eggs in it.Owls are breeding(繁殖)in that area．” The president glanced at the photos.“The date stamp on these says 2005; that's 15 years ago！” “How could that be? I just took them！”said Oliver.But he knew the camera was old．Something must have gone wrong with it. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1： On the way home, Oliver's mind was busy developing a plan. Paragraph 2： Three days later, Oliver showed up at the town council meeting on crutches(拐杖). [参考范文] Paragraph 1： On the way home, Oliver's mind was busy developing a plan.In order to stop building the new shopping mall in this campsite, he had to find a good argument to convince the town council president.First, he found the documents on the Internet that the great gray owl is a rare and endangered animal under national key protection.At the same time, he asked his father to buy him a new digital camera．The next day, Oliver rushed at the campsite with his new digital camera．He climbed the tree with great care.Luckily, the owl was brooding.He picked up the new camera and filmed the video of the owl hatching its eggs.Then he took a bunch of photos again.While he was bathed in joy, the owl woke up with a start.Being afraid that Oliver would hurt her eggs, the owl jumped at him.Oliver was so frightened that he fell from the tree and broke his left leg. Paragraph 2： Three days later, Oliver showed up at the town council meeting on crutches(拐杖).He moved slowly towards the town council president with documents he had downloaded from the Internet, as well as newly shot videos and pictures about the great gray owl being an endangered rare animal under national protection.He handed them over to him.Without saying a word, he turned around and limped out of the town council meeting hall.On the following day, he learned the cancellation of the new shopping mall on the campsite from his father. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
