[对应学生用书P455] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A As any gardener knows，nature doesn't need much space to grow strong and healthy—give her an inch，and she'll take a mile! Here are four impressive examples of nature reclaiming (利用) our world for itself with amazing results. Houtouwan，China It lies on the island of Shengshan Town on the furthermost edge of a group of islands.The only way to get there is by private boat，or by bus，and then by ship.Its isolation (隔绝) was one of the prime factors leading to the abandonment of the village in the 1990s.Now，its walls and streets become green with overgrowth. Spreepark，Germany Spreepark was closed in 2001 and the local plant life soon got to work.Structures in use since the park originally opened in 1969 were quickly covered by leaves.Now，an initiative aims to bring the site back to life. Vallone dei Mulini，Italy Its high humidity (湿度) encouraged a microclimate perfect for plant growth.As the abandoned buildings fell apart，the ruins and their surroundings became completely overgrown.Photographs taken of the site in 2006 went widespread online. Beng Mealea，Cambodia Though constructed around 900 years ago，this grand temple is far less frequented than its more famous neighbour，Angkor Wat.In 2020，it was submitted for consideration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Natural decline，among other factors，has caused serious damage to the site，allowing the surrounding jungle to overrun and combine with it. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个成功回归自然、融入自然的典型例子。 1．What mainly caused Houtouwan's abandonment? A．Its wet climate. B．The overgrowth of plants. C．Its separate location. D．The aging of walls and streets. 解析　C　细节理解题。 根据Houtouwan，China部分中的“The only way to get there...leading to the abandonment of the village in the 1990s”可知，到达此地很不方便，要先坐私家小船或公交车，然后再坐船，所以此地的地理位置的隔离是导致其被遗弃的主要原因。故选C。 2．Which place once became popular online? A．Houtouwan. B．Spreepark. C．Vallone dei Mulini. D．Beng Mealea. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据Vallone dei Mulini，Italy部分中的“Photographs taken of the site in 2006 went widespread online”可知，曾在网上很受欢迎的是Vallone dei Mulini。故选C。 3．What feature do the four places share? A．They are World Heritage Sites. B．They are being taken back by nature. C．They are nearly 1，000 years old. D．They are regaining their original state. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Here are four impressive examples of nature reclaiming(利用)our world for itself with amazing results”可知，文章所列举的四个地点均是成功回归自然、融入自然的例子，故B项“它们正被自然夺回”正确。 B (2024·青岛调研检测)Tree­planting，intended to help draw down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere，has become a synonym (同义词) for climate action.In our constant focus on trees，we've developed a fixed understanding: Trees absorb carbon dioxide，end of story.The reality is that trees don't grow well alone.They exist within complex communities，helped along by each other as well as the animals they coexist with.The woodland isn't nature's only carbon sink: Grasslands and oceans also help reduce the carbon level and rely on a healthy amount of biodiversity. That's what the paper，published in Nature，wants to get across.Co­author Oswald J．Schmitz，a professor of ecology at Yale University，said trees might not be able to do their carbon­uptake job efficiently without the right animals in their ecosystem.That's because animals animate the carbon cycle through their behavior and roles in the ecosystem.He added that the very presence of wild animals could cause feedback effects that change the ecosystem's capacity to absorb，release，or transport carbon. In Serengeti，for instance，the sharp decline in wildebeest (角马) populations during the mid­20th century allowed grass to grow wildly，eventually promoting wildfires that consumed 80 percent of the ecosystem annually and led to a net release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.When disease management and bans on illegal hunting helped animal populations recover，a greater share of the carbon stored in plants was consumed by wildebeest and released as waste，keeping it in the system and restoring the grassland as a carbon sink. Researchers rarely consider wildlife conservation as a strategy to increase an ecosystem's carbon storage capacity，said Schmitz.“They think that animals either aren't important enough or that you can't take up carbon and conserve animals at the same time，” he said.“Our message is that you can and should.It can be a win­win for both biodiversity conservation and carbon uptake.” We need a full picture—with both trees and animals—to explore nature's full potential. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了树木在生态系统中能够与动物相互作用，并借助动物来履行自己职责的事实。 4．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．Actions are needed to reduce carbon dioxide. B．Trees are a quick solution to the climate crisis. C．People are not thinking through trees properly. D．Grasslands and oceans help maintain biodiversity. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句可知，人们对树木的固定理解和事实并不一致。即人们对树木的看法不正确。故选C。 5．What does the underlined word “animate” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Activate. B．Restart. C．Disturb. D．Break. 解析　A　词义猜测题。根据第二段第二句并结合画线词所在句可知，树木所在的生态系统中没有动物时，树木不能进行碳吸收工作；但是当有动物时，树木就可以有效地完成碳吸收工作。这说明动物能激活树木完成碳吸收工作。那么，画线词应意为“激活”。故选A。 6．What does the author want to say by mentioning wildebeest? A．The conservation of animals is still a serious issue. B．Animals can swing the ecosystem's capacity to store carbon. C．Human impacts bring about the reduction in wildlife populations. D．The increase in animal species causes a decrease in carbon uptake. 解析　B　推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知，野生动物能改变生态系统吸收、释放和运输碳的能力。再结合第三段可知，在塞伦盖蒂，角马的数量在20世纪中期急剧下降，使得草疯狂生长，最终引发了野火，每年消耗80%的生态系统，并导致二氧化碳净释放到大气中。但是当动物种群恢复时，储存在植物中的大部分碳被角马消耗并作为废物释放出来，使其留在系统中，并恢复草原作为碳汇的作用。由此可推知，文章提及角马是为了说明野生动物的存在有改变生态系统储存碳的能力。故选B。 7．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Animals Adjust Themselves to Climate Change B．Woodland Isn't the Only Carbon Sink on the Earth C．The Serengeti Ecosystem Needs Urgent Improvement D．Trees May Fail to Fulfil Their Duties Without Animals 解析　D　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章结合实例讲述了树木在生态系统中与动物的相互作用，从而说明：没有动物的话，树木可能无法履行自己的职责。因此，我们需要全面保护动植物来探索大自然。故选D。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2025·八省联考)I liked to go and watch the sunset at my local park，which was a seaside area in Karachi.There，I would always see the same elderly lady 1 the pigeons (鸽子).The birds，usually around 10 to 15 in 2 ，would gather around her before she even had a 3 to take the bag of rice out from her handbag.It was the same each day，part of her 4 ． I found that 5 her perform this ordinary task with such 6 was both calming and beautiful.
