When we got there, we bought our tickets and drove into the park.We were very excited at the thought of going to see the lions.But to get to the lions' place we had to go through the monkeys' land first.And that was an unforgettable experience because they climbed all over the car, ate apples and bananas, and threw all kinds of things at us.They seemed very unfriendly. Anyway, we went on our way to the lions' place where we had to lock ourselves in the car as we knew lions could be dangerous.A lion came up very close to us.Then it was on the bonnet (车盖)．It looked calm but we felt terrified．Aunt Emily, who isn't very brave, started to call for help.The kids started crying.Only my brother, George, stayed cool.I sounded the horn (喇叭) but nobody heard us.

Born on June 10, 2022, the wolf, named Maya, is energetic and in very good health.Her donor (供体) cell came from a wild female arctic wolf from Canada.However, her oocyte (卵母细胞) was from a female dog, and her surrogate mother (代孕母体) was a beagle.The scientist chose a dog as Maya's surrogate because they are similar in genes (基因), and it's more easily to succeed through cloning technology. “This is our new try and it has been a development in protecting and producing wild and endangered animals.The birth of Maya is an event for the development of cloning technology and is of great value to biodiversity (生物多样性), the protection of wildlife, and the restoration (恢复) of endangered animals in the world，” Mi Jidong, the company's general manager, said. Cloning technology is a breeding method different from natural reproduction (繁殖)．Some gave opinions about the cloned arctic wolf.Sun Quanhui, a scientist from the World Animal Protection organization, said that cloning technology is still in the exploratory stage of research, and there are many technical and ethical (伦理) problems that need to be treated properly.Sun believed cloning should be considered only for endangered wild animals whose species are extinct, or whose captive populations (圈养种群) are very limited. Maya now lives with her surrogate mother in a lab, and later she will be sent to the Harbin Polarland and displayed to the public, Maya would live by herself in the park at first because she may not be able to fit for original arctic wolf groups.However, it is reported that the technology of cloning arctic wolves has gained strong value in its application, and another male cloned arctic wolf will come into this world in the near future. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为了拯救濒临灭绝的北极狼，北京希诺健生物技术公司与哈尔滨极地科技合作克隆了一头北极狼并取名为玛雅。 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Born on June 10, 2022, the wolf, named Maya, is energetic and in very good health.”可知，玛雅的健康状态良好。故选B。 √ 8．Which of the following is TRUE about Maya according to the passage?

D (2024·北京二中高一期中) Fencing or Not Wildlife fences are constructed for a variety of reasons including to prevent the spread of diseases, to protect wildlife from poachers (偷猎者), and to help manage small populations of threatened species.Human-wildlife conflict is another common reason for building fences.Wildlife can damage valuable farm animals and crops. Some species carry diseases of agricultural concern, and a few threaten human lives. At the same time, people kill wild animals for food, trade, or to defend lives or property, and human activities destroy wildlife habitat (栖息地)．Separating people and wildlife by fencing can appear to be a mutually beneficial way to avoid such harmful effects.But in a paper in the journal Science，published recently, some scientists argue that fencing should only be used if worse comes to worst. According to the scientists, although fencing can have conservation benefits, it also has costs.When areas of wildlife habitat are changed into islands, the resulting small and isolated populations tend towards extinction, and the resulting loss of larger-bodied species can affect interactions between species in ways that cause further local extinctions.Therefore, scientists are asking that conservationists carefully weigh up the biodiversity costs and benefits of new and existing fences. In addition to fences' ecosystem-wide impact, the scientists don't think they always achieve their specific aims.Construction of fences to reduce human-wildlife conflict has been successful in some places but the challenges of appropriate fence design, location, construction, and protection mean that fences often fail to deliver the anticipated benefits.In some places, fences also provide poachers with a ready supply of wire for making traps. A variety of alternative approaches, including better caring for farm animals, community-based crop-guarding, insurance and wildlife-sensitive land-use planning are suggested to reduce conflicts between people and wildlife without the need for fencing.Some projects working with local people and government agencies in Indonesia have shown that human-elephant conflict can be dramatically reduced without using fences. The scientists conclude that as climate change increases the importance of facilitating wildlife mobility and conserving landscape connectivity, fence removal may become an important form of climate change preparation, and so fencing of wildlife should be avoided whenever possible. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类和野生动物之间的冲突。一方面，野生动物给农作物带来伤害，还可能会威胁人的生命；另一方面，人类捕杀野生动物，人类活动破坏野生动物的栖息地。为了解决这种冲突，有人提出用隔离人类和野生动物的办法。科学家认为此举不利于保护物种的多样性。 词义猜测题。第一段画线词后的“such harmful effects”指的是“Wildlife can damage...destroy wildlife habitat (栖息地)．”，由此可知，把人类和野生动物分隔开来能使农作物和人类的生命得到保护，同时，野生动物也能免遭杀害，这似乎是对人类和野生动物都有益处的办法，故画线词是“相互的”之意，故选D。 √ 12．What does the underlined word “mutually” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Indeed. B．Outdoors. C．Straight. D．Both. 细节理解题。根据第二段“When areas of wildlife habitat...and benefits of new and existing fences.”可知，科学家认为隔离野生动物和人类会造成动物的灭绝，进而影响物种的多样性，故选B。 √ 13．According to the scientists, what will fencing influence? A．Land building. B．Species diversity. C．Human population. D．Wildlife's body size. 段落大意题。根据第四段“A variety of alternative approaches...without the need for fencing.”可知，本段主要讲的是：在解决人类和野生动物冲突方面，有许多可替代性的途径，故选A。 √ 14．What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 4? A．Replacements for fences. B．Wildlife-protection methods. C．Effective land-use approaches. D．Conflicts between human and wildlife. 写作目的题。根据文章标题“Fencing or Not”可知，文章主要讲的是，是否应该在人类和野生动物之间建立屏障。再根据第一段“Wildlife fences are constructed for a variety of reasons”和最后一段“fencing of wildlife should be avoided whenever possible”可知，文章旨在向人们提出“取消屏障”这一建议，并解释了其背后的原因，提出了替代的措施。故选B。 √ 15．The main purpose of the passage is to ． A．argue and prove B．inform and explain C．appeal and discuss D．compare and assess Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分，共12.5分) (2024·杭州外国语学校高一检测) People may appreciate the mighty sea and those deep, dark lakes when it comes to waters. 1 However, ponds are an important body of water as they fight climate change, improve biodiversity, and help conservation, according to The Revelator organization.So if you are thinking about creating a beautiful and enriching element to your garden this spring, consider a pond. 2 In Switzerland, less than ten percent of the ponds from the last 200 years remain.And in the UK, less than a quarter of the ponds that existed at the start of the 20th century are still around. Nowadays, a European organization called PONDERFUL is trying to give ponds power by increasing awareness of their importance.They are the unsung heroes of the natural world and are in the front line of climate action, supporting wildlife and capturing harmful emissions. Adding even a tiny pond in your garden can achieve natural wonders and will actually better all other ecosystems, according to Pond Informer, an online guide about ponds. 3 For example, ponds are a shelter for frogs that eat insects and keep the ecosystem balanced. They also offer a space for birds to bathe, cool off and drink. 4 They help with pollination (授粉), spread seeds, and control insects.Swallows can eat hundreds of thousands of insects each night, bugs that may just munch on your garden during the day! With help now on the way, Switzerland has made hundreds of new ponds, thus increasing the population of birds and frogs, including the endangered European tree frog. 5 A．Ponds are simply disappearing. B．Tiny ponds are usually ignored. C．In turn, these birds can benefit your garden. D．Your pond can play a part in your community. E．People can have a great time by creating the ponds. F．A pond becomes home to many plants and animals. G．Small, shallow ponds are being restored on former golf courses in the UK. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了被人们忽视的水域池塘正逐渐消失。人们认识到其对生态带来的巨大好处，又开始重新修建或者修复原有池塘。 People may appreciate the mighty sea and those deep, dark lakes when it comes to waters.________________________________ However, ponds are an important body of water as they fight climate change, improve biodiversity, and help conservation, according to The Revelator organization.So if you are thinking about creating a beautiful and enriching element to your garden this spring, consider a pond. B．Tiny ponds are usually ignored. 上文指出，谈到水域大家注意到的是大海和湖泊。下文指出池塘也很重要。选项B指出池塘常常被忽略，承接上文，继续谈水域，又和下文构成转折关系，符合语境。 ______________________________ In Switzerland, less than ten percent of the ponds from the last 200 years remain.And in the UK, less than a quarter of the ponds that existed at the start of the 20th century are still around. Nowadays, a European organization called PONDERFUL is trying to give ponds power by increasing awareness of their importance.They are the unsung heroes of the natural world and are in the front line of climate action, supporting wildlife and capturing harmful emissions. A．Ponds are simply disappearing. 下文通过举例指出池塘逐渐消失。选项A指出池塘在消失，符合语境，下文是对这句话的详细说明。 Adding even a tiny pond in your garden can achieve natural wonders and will actually better all other ecosystems, according to Pond Informer, an online guide about ponds._____________________________________________ For example, ponds are a shelter for frogs that eat insects and keep the ecosystem balanced. F．A pond becomes home to many plants and animals. 下文指出池塘是青蛙的住处。选项F指出池塘是很多动植物的家，符合语境，下文是该选项的具体实例。 They also offer a space for birds to bathe, cool off and drink. ___________ ______________________________ They help with pollination (授粉), spread seeds, and control insects.Swallows can eat hundreds of thousands of insects each night, bugs that may just munch on your garden during the day! C．In turn, these birds can benefit your garden. 上文指出，池塘也为鸟类提供了住所。下文指出，反过来鸟类又帮助授粉等活动。选项C从上文转折到鸟给花园生态带来的好处，符合语境，而下文又是该选项的具体说明。 With help now on the way, Switzerland has made hundreds of new ponds, thus increasing the population of birds and frogs, including the endangered European tree frog.________________________________________________ _____________________ G．Small, shallow ponds are being restored on former golf courses in the UK. 上文指出，瑞士开始建造新的池塘。选项G指出英国也在恢复池塘，这和上文一样，都是呈现保护池塘的实例，前后联系密切，符合语境。 返回 谢 谢 观 看 ！ 返回 $$
