Those numbers have not been seen in more than 20 years. The species of turtle is known as olive ridley. The animals travel thousands of kilometers for ideal places to lay their eggs along India's coast. But that process, called nesting, has become more difficult because undisturbed beaches are becoming harder to find around the world. And, mass deaths like these can be caused by fishing nets that can catch and harm the species. Shravan Krishnan is a volunteer with Chennai-based Students Sea Turtles Conservation Network. He told The Associated Press that in a usual year, there are between 100 to 200 adult turtle deaths on the city's coast. "This year, we've already crossed 200 dead turtles in a little more than two weeks," he said. Krishnan is also concerned about the low number of turtles nesting on shore. He and other conservationists walk along the city's beaches at night to collect and move turtle nests. They do so to prevent the eggs from being eaten by dogs or damaged by people walking along the coast. "We have found only four nests so far, which is also really worrying," Krishnan said. Highest turtle deaths in the last twenty years Environmentalists and forest department officials have been seeing at least ten dead turtles every day for the past few days, sometimes many more. That is the highest number officials have seen since 2014. Experts say the deaths are most likely caused by large fishing nets that are pulled along the ocean floor. Manish Meena is in charge of the city's wildlife. He said groups have been actively trying to inform people involved in fishing to release turtles that might get caught in nets. They have also asked the coast guard to watch for illegal fishing activity. Fishing boats using giant nets that catch everything on the ocean floor are barred by a local government order from operating within five nautical miles of the coastline during the turtle nesting season. The law also requires the use of devices that can help turtles escape nets. Shantanu Kalambi is an ocean animal specialist with the conservation organization ReefWatch. He said that when the turtles get caught in nets, they are unable to come up to the surface for air. And environmentalists say the crews of fishing boats do not always use the devices to help turtles escape, since they reduce how many fish they can catch. A number of threats Olive ridley turtles are considered an endangered species. Just like most sea turtles, their eggs need two months to hatch. This places them at higher risk because of coastal land activity, warmer temperatures and pollution from light. Farther up India's east coast, over 500,000 turtles nest every year. But only one in about 1,000 turtle babies that hatch survives to adulthood. Experts say the turtles are important to the balance of the ocean ecosystem. "As a species, they are millions of years old and they play an essential role in the food chain," Kalambi said. 【译文欣赏】 印度海龟的突然死亡引起人们关注 过去两周，在印度东海岸靠近钦奈市的地方发现了400多只死亡的海龟。这是20多年来未曾见过的数量。 这些海龟被称为橄榄蠵龟。它们长途跋涉数千公里，寻找理想的产卵地点，沿着印度海岸线。但是，这个过程，即筑巢，变得越来越困难，因为全球范围内未受干扰的海滩越来越难找。而且，像这样的大规模死亡可能是由渔网引起的，这些渔网可能会捕获并伤害这种物种。 Shravan Krishnan是钦奈学生海龟保护网络的志愿者。他告诉美联社，在正常年份，该市海岸上会有100到200只成年海龟死亡。“今年，我们在短短两周多一点的时间里已经超过了200只死亡海龟，”他说。 Krishnan还担心岸上筑巢的海龟数量很少。他和其他环保人士晚上沿着城市的海滩行走，收集并移动海龟巢。他们这样做是为了防止海龟蛋被狗吃掉或被沿海行走的人损坏。“到目前为止，我们只发现了四个巢，这也非常令人担忧，”Krishnan说。 过去几天，环保人士和森林部门官员每天至少看到十只死亡海龟，有时更多。这是自2014年以来官员们见过的最高数量。专家表示，这些死亡很可能是由在海底拖曳的大型渔网引起的。 Manish Meena是该市野生动物的负责人。他说，团体一直在积极尝试通知参与捕鱼的人释放可能被网捕获的海龟。他们还要求海岸警卫队监视非法捕鱼活动。 在乌龟筑巢季节，当地政府命令禁止使用在海底捕获一切的巨型渔网的渔船在海岸线五海里范围内作业。法律还要求使用可以帮助海龟逃脱渔网的装置。 Shantanu Kalambi是保护组织ReefWatch的海洋动物专家。他说，当海龟被网捕获时，它们无法浮出水面呼吸。环保人士表示，渔船的船员并不总是使用帮助海龟逃脱的装置，因为它们减少了他们可以捕获的鱼的数量。 橄榄蠵龟被认为是濒危物种。就像大多数海龟一样，它们的卵需要两个月才能孵化。由于沿海陆地活动、温度升高和光污染，这使它们面临更高的风险。 在印度东海岸更远的地方，每年有超过50万只海龟筑巢。但是，大约每1000只孵化的小海龟中只有一只能够存活到成年。 专家表示，海龟对海洋生态系统的平衡至关重要。 “作为一个物种，它们已经有数百万年的历史，它们在食物链中扮演着至关重要的角色，”Kalambi说。 【词汇积累】 ( 6 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 species -n.物种 biology. a group of animals or plants that are similar and can produce young animals or plants net – n.网 a device that is used for catching or holding things or for keeping things out of a space and that is made of pieces of string, rope, wire, etc., woven together with spaces in between conservation – n. 保护the protection of animals, plants, and natural resources hatch – v. 孵化of a bird, insect, fish. to come out of an egg : to be born by coming out of an egg ecosystem – n. 生态系统everything that exists in a particular environment essential – adj.必要的 necessary 【知识拓展】 原因： 非法捕捞：泰米尔纳德邦已经禁止拖网渔船在距离海岸 9 公里的范围内捕鱼，但该法律通常不会得到执行。拖网还必须安装海龟逃生装置（TED），但实际上很少有人安装。太平洋丽龟繁殖时会聚集在海岸附近，需要浮出水面呼吸，可能会被渔网缠住并最终淹死。 海洋污染：海洋污染对海龟生存环境造成破坏，可能影响其健康和繁殖。如光污染会使刚孵化出来的海龟迷失方向，而海洋中的垃圾、化学物质等也可能导致海龟中毒或感染疾病。 气候变化：全球气候变暖导致海水温度上升、海平面上升等，改变了海龟的生存环境。这可能影响海龟的食物来源，还可能使海滩温度升高，影响海龟卵的孵化率和幼龟的性别比例。 【词汇延伸】 nautical mile – n. 海里a unit of distance equal to 1,852 meters that is used for sea and air travel 综合实战演练 （一） (2020·全国卷Ⅲ·阅读理解A篇) Journey Back in Time with Scholars Classical Provence (13 days) Journey through the beautiful countryside of Provence, France, with Prof. Ori Z.

Stay in an eco-friendly treehouse in Stirlingshire Located on different parts of protected woodland, the Lanrick and Leckie Treehouses come with a far smaller footprint than your average holiday accommodation. They are just four miles from the Trossachs National Park, located in central Scotland. This provides easy access to a wealth of outdoor activities, including hiking, biking and bird watching. The Treehouses at Lanrick cost £245 a night for one person, with a minimum two-night stay. You need to pay an extra £30 for The Treehouses at Leckie. 2. Go wild camping on the Isle of Rum You can take a ferry trip from Mallaig to Rum, and into one of Scotland’s most rugged wildernesses. It combines hiking, wildlife spotting and camping. There’s no option to explore by car or public transport here (having no roads means the only traffic is the vast numbers of red deer). Two nights with Much Better Adventures, including one night wild camping, one night in a bunkhouse and return ferry tickets from Mallaig to Kinloch, £180 per person a night. 3. Hike through history in the Peak District In 1932, a historic mass invasion in the Peak District led to the creation of our national park system. Today, this picturesque plateau in northern England is the perfect setting for a low-impact walking journey, where all travel is by foot. Along the way, you’ll discover the likes of the Derwent and Hope valleys. Three nights with On Foot Holidays, including transfers and GPS tracks, £215 per person a night. 1．Which agency provides the cheapest per-day price? A．The Treehouses at Lanrick. B．The Treehouses at Leckie. C．Much Better Adventures. D．On Foot Holidays. 2．What do the three adventures have in common? A．They offer free food. B．They all involve activities on foot. C．They are all in Scotland. D．They can be explored by public transport. 3．Who is probably the target reader of this passage? A．An eco-minded traveler. B．An animal lover. C．A risk-hungry athlete. D．A social activist. （三） （24-25高二下·湖南衡阳·开学考试）As it moves across central Italy, an old train pulling carriages from the 1930s and 1950s crosses the forests of the Majella National Park and the Abruzzo highlands. The Park Railway, traveling through valleys and tunnels and over old bridges, offers visitors a view of small, rural and hidden villages in the country. It was the first of some 1,000 kilometers of rail line to have re-opened under a project called “Timeless tracks”, which aims to take visitors to forgotten parts of Italy instead of the popular cities. The tracks have lived through different eras. They were mistakenly considered unproductive during the 1960s and 1970s but are now once again of value. Norma Pagiotti, a 28-year-old traveler from Florence, said, “People are used to cities and places, like Florence, that everyone knows. But then there are other areas that need to be discovered. This is the right kind of tourism that does not destroy the reality of places.” Caterina Quaranta, from southern Italy, used the term “nostalgic” to describe riding the train. “The train reminds me of my youth and the things of the past, which were simpler. But now everything is fast, short-lived,” Quaranta said. After climbing up almost 1,000 meters in altitude, the train’s first stop is in Palena, a hill-top town known for its beautiful views over the national park. Traditional folk music accompanies people getting off the train, with local foods such as lamb skewers and soft pancakes and products by local artisans awaiting them at the station. “The train financially helps several small towns around here.” said Gino Toppi, 60, as he helped his wife with the food stand in the small station. His village has long lost population due to the declining birth rate and younger people leaving for the bigger cities. 1．What is the main purpose of the “Timeless tracks” project? A．To promote tourism in Italy’s popular cities. B．To prove the old railway unproductive. C．To connect major Italian cities. D．To visit off-the-beaten-track destinations. 2．How did Norma Pagiotti think of exploring lesser-known areas in Italy? A．It is a waste of time compared to visiting popular cities. B．It helps preserve the authenticity of these places. C．It makes these areas too commercialized. D．It is only suitable for elderly travelers. 3．How did Caterina Quaranta feel about her experience on the Park Railway? A．Feeling a strong dislike. B．Longing for the past time. C．Causing great worry. D．Having pleasant relaxation. 4．According to Gino Toppi, what current benefit will the railway bring to the villagers along the way? A．The economic promotion. B．The increasing birth rate. C．The population mobility. D．The lifestyle of big cities. （四） （24-25高二上·广东清远·阶段练习）US national parks aren’t dog­friendly; while we knew this was the case for some parks, we had heard it varied from park to park. My husband, Mitchell, and I are always on the lookout for dog­friendly options at each national park. We have been to quite a few national parks now and in general, the rule is that dogs must always be on a leash (用狗绳拴住) and stay on paved (铺好的) path areas, no hiking trails (小径). Yosemite was probably one of the more dog­friendly national parks we’ve been to as there was a longer paved bike trail in addition to a few shorter paved pathways that were dog­friendly. However, the hiking trails were still a no­go. For this reason, we haven’t spent as much time in Yosemite National Park and instead have enjoyed the state parks and national forest that surrounds them. Dog­friendliness aside, we have not for a second regretted visiting a national park and Yosemite was no exception. You must visit Yosemite if you ever get the chance. There were truly beautiful mountains and even though Mitchell and I grew up in the shadow of (在……附近) the Rockies we were completely impressed by this new landscape. We were fortunate to visit in the fall which had the added benefit of the beautiful colors and fewer people！The landscape easily looked like it could be a painting. After Yosemite, we had originally planned to make our way to Death Valley. After some discussion, we decided to take a little detour (绕道) and visit Lake Tahoe. The lake was beautiful and there seemed to be signs everywhere for ski hills and endless outdoor activities. We ended up staying for two days at the Zephyr Cove RV Park and Resort. We were able to wash clothes on site, shower and even use their Wi­Fi to catch up on work. We had ended up traveling farther than we planned each day and it was nice to recharge and stay in one place a little longer. We've come to the conclusion we’re still working on slowing down. 1．What is the rule for dogs in US national parks? A．They are allowed on all trails in dog­friendly parks. B．They are allowed on hiking areas in certain parks. C．They are permitted to be off­leash. D．They are limited to paved areas. 2．Why did the couple stay in Yosemite National Park for a short time? A．They preferred state parks. B．They had been there many times. C．They wanted to hike with their dog. D．They needed to travel farther than planned. 3．Why does the author mention the Rockies? A．To stress the beauty of Yosemite. B．To express her desire to visit the Rockies. C．To describe the breathtaking landscape of her hometown. D．To show the differences between the Rockies and Yosemite. 4．What can be inferred about the couple from the last paragraph? A．They felt relaxed after slowing down. B．They didn’t reach their intended destination. C．They visited Lake Tahoe simply out of convenience. D．They didn’t enjoy traveling because of their work stress. （五） （24-25高三上·安徽安庆·期末）Seacology’s acclaimed travel program offers a unique take on ecotourism, combining adventure and relaxation with opportunities to see firsthand the impact of our work and the island environments it protects. In December, we partnered with the California Academy of Sciences to offer supporters of both organizations an unforgettable expedition to Fiji. Over nine days on the island of Vanua Levu, our guests dived through the country’s thriving coral reefs, hiked winding forest trails, enjoyed the local culture and cuisine and learned more about Fiji’s fascinating marine life from the experts. The divers and snorkelers in attendance, including Academy scientists Dr. Meg Burke and Dr. Terry Gosliner, were awed by the colorful and abundant life they saw underwater and the local people’s commitment to protecting it. At a time when coral reefs around the world are in steep decline, places like Natewa Bay and the reefs off the coast of Savusavu offer signs of hope for these vitally important centers of biodiversity. Our group visited Nukubalavu Village, where in 2007 we funded the construction of a kindergarten in exchange for the creation of a 25,600-acre marine protected area. Nearly two decades later, it remains one of our most successful projects. The reserve is carefully guarded by locals and their work ensured that the local fishery remains sustainable. Hundreds of children from Nukubalavu and villages nearby have begun their education in the small school. This was our second trip in partnership with the Academy, following a successful trip to the Philippines in 2022. Both organizations’ commitment to grassroots conservation and responsible tourism make for an ideal partnership. The villagers warmly greeted our group. We toured the school and met some of the students and their proud parents and teachers. 1．How does seacology’s acclaimed travel program differ from others? A．It is free of charge. B．It is sponsored by the government. C．It partners with another organization. D．It gives a chance to see the effect of our work. 2．What does the underlined word “thriving” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Endangered. B．Booming. C．Fashionable. D．Declining. 3．Why did the group fund help to construct a kindergarten in 2007? A．To help promote the local kids. B．To enrich the local people’s life. C．To exchange for a marine protected area. D．To secure the local fishery considerable profit. 4．What made the Academy a perfect partner? A．Its contribution. B．Its favor. C．Its budget. D．Its reputation. （六） （24-25高二上·广东肇庆·期末）If taking the train across Canada isn’t on your travel list, it totally should be! Here are some facts to help you get ready for the journey. 1 . It depends on your route and stops because you have to be sure that the schedules match your connecting train. If you are riding on The Canadian which runs between Toronto and Vancouver, the trip will be four straight days if you don’t get off. If you choose the entire transcontinental train trip, you will pass through five time zones: Atlantic, Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific, from Halifax all the way to Vancouver. 2 . The adjustment is in fact comfortable because the rhythm of the train and the consistent sleep patterns help you maintain your internal clock. The winter season brings fewer crowds and more affordable rates, making it an ideal time for a train journey. You may be thinking that Canada in winter is a frozen land, but you are overreacting. Temperatures are not as harsh as you might think, ranging from 30-35°F in the mountains to 38-55°F elsewhere. 3 . One of the most rewarding aspects of train travel is the opportunity to meet a variety of people. Simply by sitting together and admiring the scenery, you will start to connect with or chat with others. 4 , each with his or her own stories and experiences.

Those numbers have not been seen in more than 20 years. The species of turtle is known as olive ridley. The animals travel thousands of kilometers for ideal places to lay their eggs along India's coast. But that process, called nesting, has become more difficult because undisturbed beaches are becoming harder to find around the world. And, mass deaths like these can be caused by fishing nets that can catch and harm the species. Shravan Krishnan is a volunteer with Chennai-based Students Sea Turtles Conservation Network. He told The Associated Press that in a usual year, there are between 100 to 200 adult turtle deaths on the city's coast. "This year, we've already crossed 200 dead turtles in a little more than two weeks," he said. Krishnan is also concerned about the low number of turtles nesting on shore. He and other conservationists walk along the city's beaches at night to collect and move turtle nests. They do so to prevent the eggs from being eaten by dogs or damaged by people walking along the coast. "We have found only four nests so far, which is also really worrying," Krishnan said. Highest turtle deaths in the last twenty years Environmentalists and forest department officials have been seeing at least ten dead turtles every day for the past few days, sometimes many more. That is the highest number officials have seen since 2014. Experts say the deaths are most likely caused by large fishing nets that are pulled along the ocean floor. Manish Meena is in charge of the city's wildlife. He said groups have been actively trying to inform people involved in fishing to release turtles that might get caught in nets. They have also asked the coast guard to watch for illegal fishing activity. Fishing boats using giant nets that catch everything on the ocean floor are barred by a local government order from operating within five nautical miles of the coastline during the turtle nesting season. The law also requires the use of devices that can help turtles escape nets. Shantanu Kalambi is an ocean animal specialist with the conservation organization ReefWatch. He said that when the turtles get caught in nets, they are unable to come up to the surface for air. And environmentalists say the crews of fishing boats do not always use the devices to help turtles escape, since they reduce how many fish they can catch. A number of threats Olive ridley turtles are considered an endangered species. Just like most sea turtles, their eggs need two months to hatch. This places them at higher risk because of coastal land activity, warmer temperatures and pollution from light. Farther up India's east coast, over 500,000 turtles nest every year. But only one in about 1,000 turtle babies that hatch survives to adulthood. Experts say the turtles are important to the balance of the ocean ecosystem. "As a species, they are millions of years old and they play an essential role in the food chain," Kalambi said. 【译文欣赏】 印度海龟的突然死亡引起人们关注 过去两周，在印度东海岸靠近钦奈市的地方发现了400多只死亡的海龟。这是20多年来未曾见过的数量。 这些海龟被称为橄榄蠵龟。它们长途跋涉数千公里，寻找理想的产卵地点，沿着印度海岸线。但是，这个过程，即筑巢，变得越来越困难，因为全球范围内未受干扰的海滩越来越难找。而且，像这样的大规模死亡可能是由渔网引起的，这些渔网可能会捕获并伤害这种物种。 Shravan Krishnan是钦奈学生海龟保护网络的志愿者。他告诉美联社，在正常年份，该市海岸上会有100到200只成年海龟死亡。“今年，我们在短短两周多一点的时间里已经超过了200只死亡海龟，”他说。 Krishnan还担心岸上筑巢的海龟数量很少。他和其他环保人士晚上沿着城市的海滩行走，收集并移动海龟巢。他们这样做是为了防止海龟蛋被狗吃掉或被沿海行走的人损坏。“到目前为止，我们只发现了四个巢，这也非常令人担忧，”Krishnan说。 过去几天，环保人士和森林部门官员每天至少看到十只死亡海龟，有时更多。这是自2014年以来官员们见过的最高数量。专家表示，这些死亡很可能是由在海底拖曳的大型渔网引起的。 Manish Meena是该市野生动物的负责人。他说，团体一直在积极尝试通知参与捕鱼的人释放可能被网捕获的海龟。他们还要求海岸警卫队监视非法捕鱼活动。 在乌龟筑巢季节，当地政府命令禁止使用在海底捕获一切的巨型渔网的渔船在海岸线五海里范围内作业。法律还要求使用可以帮助海龟逃脱渔网的装置。 Shantanu Kalambi是保护组织ReefWatch的海洋动物专家。他说，当海龟被网捕获时，它们无法浮出水面呼吸。环保人士表示，渔船的船员并不总是使用帮助海龟逃脱的装置，因为它们减少了他们可以捕获的鱼的数量。 橄榄蠵龟被认为是濒危物种。就像大多数海龟一样，它们的卵需要两个月才能孵化。由于沿海陆地活动、温度升高和光污染，这使它们面临更高的风险。 在印度东海岸更远的地方，每年有超过50万只海龟筑巢。但是，大约每1000只孵化的小海龟中只有一只能够存活到成年。 专家表示，海龟对海洋生态系统的平衡至关重要。 “作为一个物种，它们已经有数百万年的历史，它们在食物链中扮演着至关重要的角色，”Kalambi说。 【词汇积累】 ( 6 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 species -n.物种 biology. a group of animals or plants that are similar and can produce young animals or plants net – n.网 a device that is used for catching or holding things or for keeping things out of a space and that is made of pieces of string, rope, wire, etc., woven together with spaces in between conservation – n. 保护the protection of animals, plants, and natural resources hatch – v. 孵化of a bird, insect, fish. to come out of an egg : to be born by coming out of an egg ecosystem – n. 生态系统everything that exists in a particular environment essential – adj.必要的 necessary 【知识拓展】 原因： 非法捕捞：泰米尔纳德邦已经禁止拖网渔船在距离海岸 9 公里的范围内捕鱼，但该法律通常不会得到执行。拖网还必须安装海龟逃生装置（TED），但实际上很少有人安装。太平洋丽龟繁殖时会聚集在海岸附近，需要浮出水面呼吸，可能会被渔网缠住并最终淹死。 海洋污染：海洋污染对海龟生存环境造成破坏，可能影响其健康和繁殖。如光污染会使刚孵化出来的海龟迷失方向，而海洋中的垃圾、化学物质等也可能导致海龟中毒或感染疾病。 气候变化：全球气候变暖导致海水温度上升、海平面上升等，改变了海龟的生存环境。这可能影响海龟的食物来源，还可能使海滩温度升高，影响海龟卵的孵化率和幼龟的性别比例。 【词汇延伸】 nautical mile – n. 海里a unit of distance equal to 1,852 meters that is used for sea and air travel 综合实战演练 （一） (2020·全国卷Ⅲ·阅读理解A篇) Journey Back in Time with Scholars Classical Provence (13 days) Journey through the beautiful countryside of Provence, France, with Prof. Ori Z.

Stay in an eco-friendly treehouse in Stirlingshire Located on different parts of protected woodland, the Lanrick and Leckie Treehouses come with a far smaller footprint than your average holiday accommodation. They are just four miles from the Trossachs National Park, located in central Scotland. This provides easy access to a wealth of outdoor activities, including hiking, biking and bird watching. The Treehouses at Lanrick cost £245 a night for one person, with a minimum two-night stay. You need to pay an extra £30 for The Treehouses at Leckie. 2. Go wild camping on the Isle of Rum You can take a ferry trip from Mallaig to Rum, and into one of Scotland’s most rugged wildernesses. It combines hiking, wildlife spotting and camping. There’s no option to explore by car or public transport here (having no roads means the only traffic is the vast numbers of red deer). Two nights with Much Better Adventures, including one night wild camping, one night in a bunkhouse and return ferry tickets from Mallaig to Kinloch, £180 per person a night. 3. Hike through history in the Peak District In 1932, a historic mass invasion in the Peak District led to the creation of our national park system. Today, this picturesque plateau in northern England is the perfect setting for a low-impact walking journey, where all travel is by foot. Along the way, you’ll discover the likes of the Derwent and Hope valleys. Three nights with On Foot Holidays, including transfers and GPS tracks, £215 per person a night. 1．Which agency provides the cheapest per-day price? A．The Treehouses at Lanrick. B．The Treehouses at Leckie. C．Much Better Adventures. D．On Foot Holidays. 2．What do the three adventures have in common? A．They offer free food. B．They all involve activities on foot. C．They are all in Scotland. D．They can be explored by public transport. 3．Who is probably the target reader of this passage? A．An eco-minded traveler. B．An animal lover. C．A risk-hungry athlete. D．A social activist. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了英国三种低影响的环境友好型冒险活动。 1．细节理解题。根据每点下提到的价格信息“The Treehouses at Lanrick cost £245 a night for one person, with a minimum two-night stay. You need to pay an extra £30 for The Treehouses at Leckie.(Lanrick的树屋一个人每晚245英镑，至少住两晚。对于Leckie树屋住宿，你需要额外支付 30 英镑)”，“Two nights with Much Better Adventures, including one night wild camping, one night in a bunkhouse and return ferry tickets from Mallaig to Kinloch, £180 per person a night.(参加 “非凡探险之旅” 活动两晚，包括一晚野外露营、一晚在简易宿舍住宿，以及从马莱格到金洛克的往返渡轮票，每人每晚 180 英镑)”以及“Three nights with On Foot Holidays, including transfers and GPS tracks, £215 per person a night.(参加“徒步度假”活动三晚，包括接送服务和全球定位系统轨迹导航，每人每晚 215 英镑)”可知，比较四个选项，Much Better Adventures的每晚价格最低，为£180。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第一个标题下第一段的“This provides easy access to a wealth of outdoor activities, including hiking, biking and bird watching.(这使得人们能够轻松参与到丰富多样的户外活动中，其中包括徒步旅行、骑自行车和观鸟)”，第二标题下第一段的“It combines hiking, wildlife spotting and camping.(它结合了徒步旅行、野生动物观察和露营)”以及第三个标题下第一段的“Today, this picturesque plateau in northern England is the perfect setting for a low-impact walking journey, where all travel is by foot.(如今，英格兰北部这片风景如画的高原是进行低影响徒步旅行的绝佳之地，在这里所有的行程都依靠步行完成)”可知，如今，这三种冒险活动都涉及步行活动。故选B。 3．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“There are loads of ways to take in the UK’s landscape without putting a strain on the environment.(有很多种方式可以欣赏英国的风景，同时又不会对环境造成压力)”可知，文章介绍了三种低环境影响的旅行方式，强调环保和可持续性，适合关注生态保护的旅行者。所以目标读者更可能是关注生态的旅行者。故选A。 （三） （24-25高二下·湖南衡阳·开学考试）As it moves across central Italy, an old train pulling carriages from the 1930s and 1950s crosses the forests of the Majella National Park and the Abruzzo highlands. The Park Railway, traveling through valleys and tunnels and over old bridges, offers visitors a view of small, rural and hidden villages in the country. It was the first of some 1,000 kilometers of rail line to have re-opened under a project called “Timeless tracks”, which aims to take visitors to forgotten parts of Italy instead of the popular cities. The tracks have lived through different eras. They were mistakenly considered unproductive during the 1960s and 1970s but are now once again of value. Norma Pagiotti, a 28-year-old traveler from Florence, said, “People are used to cities and places, like Florence, that everyone knows. But then there are other areas that need to be discovered. This is the right kind of tourism that does not destroy the reality of places.” Caterina Quaranta, from southern Italy, used the term “nostalgic” to describe riding the train. “The train reminds me of my youth and the things of the past, which were simpler. But now everything is fast, short-lived,” Quaranta said. After climbing up almost 1,000 meters in altitude, the train’s first stop is in Palena, a hill-top town known for its beautiful views over the national park. Traditional folk music accompanies people getting off the train, with local foods such as lamb skewers and soft pancakes and products by local artisans awaiting them at the station. “The train financially helps several small towns around here.” said Gino Toppi, 60, as he helped his wife with the food stand in the small station. His village has long lost population due to the declining birth rate and younger people leaving for the bigger cities. 1．What is the main purpose of the “Timeless tracks” project? A．To promote tourism in Italy’s popular cities. B．To prove the old railway unproductive. C．To connect major Italian cities. D．To visit off-the-beaten-track destinations. 2．How did Norma Pagiotti think of exploring lesser-known areas in Italy? A．It is a waste of time compared to visiting popular cities. B．It helps preserve the authenticity of these places. C．It makes these areas too commercialized. D．It is only suitable for elderly travelers. 3．How did Caterina Quaranta feel about her experience on the Park Railway? A．Feeling a strong dislike. B．Longing for the past time. C．Causing great worry. D．Having pleasant relaxation. 4．According to Gino Toppi, what current benefit will the railway bring to the villagers along the way? A．The economic promotion. B．The increasing birth rate. C．The population mobility. D．The lifestyle of big cities. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。意大利重新启用20世纪30年代和50年代的旧火车，将游客带到意大利被遗忘的偏远村子，以振兴当地由于出生率下降和年轻人涌向大城市而遭受重创的经济。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It was the first of some 1,000 kilometers of rail line to have re-opened under a project called “Timeless tracks”, which aims to take visitors to forgotten parts of Italy instead of the popular cities. (这是在一个名为“永恒轨道”的项目下重新开放的约1000公里铁路线中的第一条，该项目旨在将游客带到意大利被遗忘的地区，而不是热门城市。)”可知，“永恒轨道”项目的目的是让游客到这个迹罕至的地区参观。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Norma Pagiotti, a 28-year-old traveler from Florence, said, “People are used to cities and places, like Florence, that everyone knows. But then there are other areas that need to be discovered. This is the right kind of tourism that does not destroy the reality of places.” (来自佛罗伦萨的28岁旅行者诺玛·帕吉奥蒂说：“人们已经习惯了佛罗伦萨这样的城市和地方，每个人都知道。但还有其他地区需要探索。这是一种不会破坏地方现实的正确旅游方式。”)”可知，她认为这种探索意大利不太知名地区的旅游方式是正确的，不会破坏这些地方的真实性，有助于保护这些地方的原汁原味。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Caterina Quaranta, from southern Italy, used the term “nostalgic” to describe riding the train. “The train reminds me of my youth and the things of the past, which were simpler. But now everything is fast, short-lived,” Quaranta said. (来自意大利南部的卡特琳娜·夸兰塔用“怀旧”一词来形容乘坐火车。夸兰塔说：“火车让我想起了我的青春和过去的事情，它们更简单。但现在一切都很快，很短暂。”)”可知，她用“怀旧的”来形容这次火车之旅，她提到火车让她想起了自己的青春和过去更简单的事情，所以她对这次在公园铁路上的经历感想是渴望过去的时光。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““The train financially helps several small towns around here.” said Gino Toppi, 60, as he helped his wife with the food stand in the small station. (60岁的Gino Toppi在帮助妻子在小站摆摊时说：“这列火车在经济上帮助了附近的几个小镇。”。)”可知，火车在经济上帮助了这里的几个小镇， 这意味着火车通过吸引游客和支持当地的小生意来促进当地经济。故选A。 （四） （24-25高二上·广东清远·阶段练习）US national parks aren’t dog­friendly; while we knew this was the case for some parks, we had heard it varied from park to park. My husband, Mitchell, and I are always on the lookout for dog­friendly options at each national park. We have been to quite a few national parks now and in general, the rule is that dogs must always be on a leash (用狗绳拴住) and stay on paved (铺好的) path areas, no hiking trails (小径). Yosemite was probably one of the more dog­friendly national parks we’ve been to as there was a longer paved bike trail in addition to a few shorter paved pathways that were dog­friendly. However, the hiking trails were still a no­go. For this reason, we haven’t spent as much time in Yosemite National Park and instead have enjoyed the state parks and national forest that surrounds them. Dog­friendliness aside, we have not for a second regretted visiting a national park and Yosemite was no exception. You must visit Yosemite if you ever get the chance. There were truly beautiful mountains and even though Mitchell and I grew up in the shadow of (在……附近) the Rockies we were completely impressed by this new landscape. We were fortunate to visit in the fall which had the added benefit of the beautiful colors and fewer people！The landscape easily looked like it could be a painting. After Yosemite, we had originally planned to make our way to Death Valley. After some discussion, we decided to take a little detour (绕道) and visit Lake Tahoe. The lake was beautiful and there seemed to be signs everywhere for ski hills and endless outdoor activities. We ended up staying for two days at the Zephyr Cove RV Park and Resort. We were able to wash clothes on site, shower and even use their Wi­Fi to catch up on work. We had ended up traveling farther than we planned each day and it was nice to recharge and stay in one place a little longer. We've come to the conclusion we’re still working on slowing down. 1．What is the rule for dogs in US national parks? A．They are allowed on all trails in dog­friendly parks. B．They are allowed on hiking areas in certain parks. C．They are permitted to be off­leash. D．They are limited to paved areas. 2．Why did the couple stay in Yosemite National Park for a short time? A．They preferred state parks. B．They had been there many times. C．They wanted to hike with their dog. D．They needed to travel farther than planned. 3．Why does the author mention the Rockies? A．To stress the beauty of Yosemite. B．To express her desire to visit the Rockies. C．To describe the breathtaking landscape of her hometown. D．To show the differences between the Rockies and Yosemite. 4．What can be inferred about the couple from the last paragraph? A．They felt relaxed after slowing down. B．They didn’t reach their intended destination. C．They visited Lake Tahoe simply out of convenience. D．They didn’t enjoy traveling because of their work stress. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了作者一家带狗游玩国家公园的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“We have been to quite a few national parks now and in general, the rule is that dogs must always be on a leash (用狗绳拴住) and stay on paved (铺好的) path areas, no hiking trails (小径).(我们现在已经去过不少国家公园了，总的来说，规则是狗必须总是拴着狗链，并且待在铺设好的小路上，不能走徒步路线)”可知，美国国家公园对宠物的规定是：只能在铺好的路上，不能去徒步旅行的小径，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, the hiking trails were still a no­go. For this reason, we haven’t spent as much time in Yosemite National Park and instead have enjoyed the state parks and national forest that surrounds them.(然而，徒步旅行仍然是一个禁忌。出于这个原因，我们没有在约塞米蒂国家公园花那么多时间，而是享受了周围的州立公园和国家森林)”可知，作者和丈夫没有在约塞米蒂国家公园游览很长时间是因为他们想带狗一起徒步，而约塞米蒂国家公园不允许狗进入徒步的小路，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中“You must visit Yosemite if you ever get the chance. There were truly beautiful mountains and even though Mitchell and I grew up in the shadow of (在……附近) the Rockies we were completely impressed by this new landscape.(如果有机会，你一定要去约塞米蒂。那里有真正美丽的山脉，尽管米切尔和我是在落基山脉的阴影下长大的，但我们对这一新景观印象深刻)”可知，虽然作者和丈夫从小生活在落基山风景区附近，但是约塞米蒂国家公园的景色给他们留下了深刻的印象，因此作者提到落基山是为了强调约塞米蒂国家公园的景色很美，故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We had ended up traveling farther than we planned each day and it was nice to recharge and stay in one place a little longer. We’ve come to the conclusion we’re still working on slowing down.(我们每天的行程都比计划的要远，能在一个地方多待一会儿，给自己充电感觉真好。我们得出的结论是，我们仍在努力放慢速度)”可知，作者在放慢速度后感觉很放松，故选A。 （五） （24-25高三上·安徽安庆·期末）Seacology’s acclaimed travel program offers a unique take on ecotourism, combining adventure and relaxation with opportunities to see firsthand the impact of our work and the island environments it protects. In December, we partnered with the California Academy of Sciences to offer supporters of both organizations an unforgettable expedition to Fiji. Over nine days on the island of Vanua Levu, our guests dived through the country’s thriving coral reefs, hiked winding forest trails, enjoyed the local culture and cuisine and learned more about Fiji’s fascinating marine life from the experts. The divers and snorkelers in attendance, including Academy scientists Dr. Meg Burke and Dr. Terry Gosliner, were awed by the colorful and abundant life they saw underwater and the local people’s commitment to protecting it. At a time when coral reefs around the world are in steep decline, places like Natewa Bay and the reefs off the coast of Savusavu offer signs of hope for these vitally important centers of biodiversity. Our group visited Nukubalavu Village, where in 2007 we funded the construction of a kindergarten in exchange for the creation of a 25,600-acre marine protected area. Nearly two decades later, it remains one of our most successful projects. The reserve is carefully guarded by locals and their work ensured that the local fishery remains sustainable. Hundreds of children from Nukubalavu and villages nearby have begun their education in the small school. This was our second trip in partnership with the Academy, following a successful trip to the Philippines in 2022. Both organizations’ commitment to grassroots conservation and responsible tourism make for an ideal partnership. The villagers warmly greeted our group. We toured the school and met some of the students and their proud parents and teachers. 1．How does seacology’s acclaimed travel program differ from others? A．It is free of charge. B．It is sponsored by the government. C．It partners with another organization. D．It gives a chance to see the effect of our work. 2．What does the underlined word “thriving” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Endangered. B．Booming. C．Fashionable. D．Declining. 3．Why did the group fund help to construct a kindergarten in 2007? A．To help promote the local kids. B．To enrich the local people’s life. C．To exchange for a marine protected area. D．To secure the local fishery considerable profit. 4．What made the Academy a perfect partner? A．Its contribution. B．Its favor. C．Its budget. D．Its reputation. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了海洋学广受好评的旅游项目提供了一个独特的生态旅游，它结合冒险和放松的机会，更能让我们亲眼看到我们工作带来的影响。 1．细节理解题。由文章第一段“Seacology’s acclaimed travel program offers a unique take on ecotourism, combining adventure and relaxation with opportunities to see firsthand the impact of our work and the island environments it protects. (Seacology备受赞誉的旅行项目为生态旅游提供了一种独特的体验，将冒险和放松相结合，并为游客提供了亲身体验我们工作的影响以及受保护的岛屿环境的机会。)”可知，海洋学公司广受好评的旅游计划与众不同之处是它提供了一个“亲眼看到我们的工作带来影响”的机会。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。由文章第二段“Over nine days on the island of Vanua Levu, our guests dived through the country’s thriving coral reefs, hiked winding forest trails, enjoyed the local culture and cuisine and learned more about Fiji’s fascinating marine life from the experts. (在瓦努阿莱武岛的九天时间里，我们的客人潜入该国生机勃勃的珊瑚礁，徒步蜿蜒的森林小径，体验当地的文化和美食，并从专家那里了解更多关于斐济迷人的海洋生物的知识。)”及第三段“The divers and snorkelers in attendance, including Academy scientists Dr. Meg Burke and Dr. Terry Gosliner, were awed by the colorful and abundant life they saw underwater and the local people’s commitment to protecting it. (参加活动的潜水员和浮潜者，包括科学院科学家梅格·伯克博士和特里·戈斯林博士，对他们在水下看到的丰富多彩且丰富的生命，以及当地人民对保护这些生命的承诺感到惊叹。)”可知 Vanua Levu 的珊瑚被保护得好，长势好，据此推知划线词为长得好。故选B。 3．推理判断题。由文章第四段“Our group visited Nukubalavu Village, where in 2007 we funded the construction of a kindergarten in exchange for the creation of a 25,600-acre marine protected area. (我们团队参观了努库巴拉武村，在那里我们于2007年资助了幼儿园的建设，以换取建立一个面积达25600英亩的海洋保护区。)”可知，修建学校是为了换取一块海洋保护区。故选C。 4．推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Both organizations’ commitment to grassroots conservation and responsible tourism make for an ideal partnership. (这两个组织对基层保护和负责任旅游的承诺，使它们成为理想的合作伙伴。)”可知，是the Academy的信念和负责任的旅行使其成为完美的搭档。故选A。 （六） （24-25高二上·广东肇庆·期末）If taking the train across Canada isn’t on your travel list, it totally should be! Here are some facts to help you get ready for the journey. 1 . It depends on your route and stops because you have to be sure that the schedules match your connecting train. If you are riding on The Canadian which runs between Toronto and Vancouver, the trip will be four straight days if you don’t get off. If you choose the entire transcontinental train trip, you will pass through five time zones: Atlantic, Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific, from Halifax all the way to Vancouver. 2 .
