On Oct 27th 2024, a wild boar was hit by a train in Nanjing, Jiangsu. When a worker checked for problems, 16 another train came and killed him. According to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration (国家林业和草原局), there are about 2 million wild boars in China. They can live well in nature and have many 17 , said Professor Xie Yi from Beijing Forestry University. Because of this, wild boars are moving to more 18 . They come down from the hills to 19 food in spring and autumn, so people are seeing them more often now. Wild boars usually choose to 20 humans. However, the boars might lose their fear of humans and come closer for food if people keep feeding them. This could be 21 . Without many of their predators (捕食者) in nature, hunting (捕猎) is the main way to control the boars’ 22 . Boars are not protected animals anymore since last year. So some provinces like Shaanxi have brought in hunters to 23 . But experts say hunting is not the 24 to fix the problem in the long term. We need to bring back the boars’ natural predators.

Food chains are just used to show who eats what in a very simple way. Food Chains Here are some examples of food chains.     A garden food chain might look like this: Humans can also be part of a food chain. A farm food chain could look like this: A food chain shows how plants and animals are connected with each other based on the foods they eat. Food chains are different depending on the habitat. A habitat is the scientific name for a place where animals and plants live. Habitats can be very different from each other, so a garden food chain would be very different from a farm food chain. Food chains usually start with a green plant. This is because plants can directly change sunlight into energy that they can use for themselves. These plants create or produce their own food. They use this food to grow leaves, flowers, fruit and seeds (种子). Food Chain Disruptions (中断) When afood chain is broken, it may result in a bad situation. An example is over fishing. Over the years,humans have been catching too many fish at a quick speed, leaving not enough to keep a healthy population. Because of this, other animals such as the turtles are endangered (濒危). So, humans should make sure our activities don't harm the ecosystem (生态系统). 26．How does the text explain “food chains”? A．By telling stories. B．By listing numbers. C．By giving examples. D．By asking a question. 27．What may be put in ▲ in the second food chain? A．chickens B．trees C．sunlight D．flowers 28．Why do food chains usually start with a green plant? A．Because plants always need light and water to grow. B．Because plants can use sunlight to make their own energy. C．Because plants always have leaves,flowers,fruit and seeds. D．Because plants grow by themselves in a garden or ona farm. 29．What can be the best title for this text? A．The information of food chains B．All kinds of food for human beings C．How to keep balance in the ecosystem D．The reasons why the turtles are endangered B When she was little, Gladys Kalema liked to play the piano. In the cozy corner of her childhood home, she would sit for hours at the piano, playing beautiful melodies. One sunny day, as she was lost in the world of music, a curious little monkey, with its fur shining in the sunlight, quietly climbed up in order to join her. The monkey’s bright eyes watched her fingers dancing over the keys with great interest. This became the most unforgettable moment of her childhood. It also planted the seeds of a dream in her mind. The girl wanted to work with animals when she grew up. This dream came true when Kalema was in her early twenties. With a heart full of determination and a head filled with knowledge, she set foot on the African continent and became a wildlife vet in Africa. That was thirty years ago. Since then, Kalema has never stopped caring for wild animals. Day in and day out, she explores the dense jungles and grasslands, facing all kinds of difficulties. She does her best to save the mountain gorilla (猩猩). This animal is in great danger, threatened by habitat loss and illegal hunting. But she doesn’t just protect the animals. She also puts her focus on helping the local communities. When Kalema first arrived in Africa, many local people lived a poor life. Some of them made a living by hunting wild animals. Kalema wanted to protect these animals from bullets (子弹). The key to doing so, she realized, was to improve the local people’s quality of life. The woman offered crops to these people, teaching them the best ways to plant and harvest. By growing the crops, the locals could feed themselves and make money. They no longer needed to go hunting. Slowly, their attitude towards these wild animals began to change. Now, many of these hunters of wildlife have become protectors of it. Last month, Kalema received the Champions of the Earth award for her work. It is the United Nations’ highest environmental honor. Do you want to help protect the wild animals in your area? You can learn from Kalema and start by getting to the root of the problem. 30．Why did Gladys Kalcma become a vet? A．She preferred animals to the piano. B．She had that daydream when she was little. C．She had an unforgettable experience with a monkey. D．She wanted to save the endangered animals. 31．To protect the wild animals, Kalema changed ______. A．the local citizens’ quality of living B．the kind of crops C．the hunters’ attitude to her D．the natural environment 32．What matters most for Kalema’s success according to the writer? A．The influence of her childhood. B．Over fifty years’ hard work. C．Local people’s trust. D．Her intelligence to solve a problem. 33．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Achieving Dreams by Planting Seeds B．Saving Animals by Saving People C．Becoming Famous by Being a Kind Vet D．Winning Awards by Winning People’s Hearts C ①When autumn arrives in the United States and Canada, you can see one of nature’s greatest scenes — the yearly migration of the monarch butterflies (帝王蝶). ②No other butterfly in the world migrates like the orange and black monarchs of North America. They cannot live for long periods in cold weather. For this reason, each autumn around October, the butterflies from Canada travel up to 3.000 kilometers south to spend the winter in warmer locations. Some even fly to the mountains of Mexico. There are so many of them that they almost block out the sky. You can even hear their wings beating. ③It usually takes the butterflies two months to reach the south of Mexico. After spending five months there, they head back north in the spring. But not one butterfly finishes the whole round-trip. They lay eggs along the way and die. Three generations (代) of butterflies will live and die during the spring journey alone. The fourth and final generation of the year is born in early autumn and will reach the north. But the butterflies hardly get to rest before starting the long journey south again to Mexico. ④The most amazing thing about these butterflies is that they return to the very same trees in Mexico that their great-great-grandparents used the winter before. ⑤However, ________. ⑥In 2015, the US Fish and Wildlife Service said that nearly a billion monarchs have disappeared from the overwintering sites (越冬地点) since 1990, reported the Washington Post. ⑦One of the main reasons, experts say, is that farmers have used herbicides (除草剂) on plants that the monarchs’ larvae (幼虫) live and feed on. 34．Which word can replace the underlined word “migration”? A．Birth. B．Travel. C．Death. D．Study. 35．Monarch butterflies fly from ________ to ________ each year. A．America; Mexico B．Canada; Mexico C．America; Canada D．Canada; America 36．Which of the following can be put into the ________? A．the populations of this colorful butterfly have dropped in recent years B．these butterflies can’t remember their grandparents' names and houses C．their colors change during the yearly migration D．farmers in the US don’t like the butterflies at all 37．The structure of this passage may be ________. A． B． C． D． D China has its first group of four national parks to protect some endangered animals. a Name: Sanjiangyuan National Park Location: in Qinghai Province Located on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, Sanjiangyuan is home to hundreds of wild animals. The Sanjiangyuan area is also called China’s water tower. b Name: Wuyi Mountain National Park Location: in Fujian and Jiangxi provinces The park has the most complete, most typical (典型的), and largest area of the native forest. It is known as the birds’ fun park, the kingdom of snakes and the world of insects. c Name: Giant Panda National Park Location: in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces The park holds more than 70% of China’s wild giant pandas. Besides “the national treasures” of China, the park is also home to some highly protected animals, including the snub-nosed monkeys (金丝猴). d Name: Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park Location: in Hainan Province The park covers less than 0.046% of the country’s land, yet it is home to almost 20% of the country’s amphibians (两栖动物) and 38.6% of China’s birds, which are native to the island. 38．Match the parks a—d with two topics: ①The park lies within one province; ②The park lies in more than one province.

But now they know the main reason is to communicate with each other. Chameleons can change colors to draw other chameleons’ attention or to warn them to go away. They can use their colors to show that they are angry or scared sometimes. 42 It turns out that they stay safe by moving backward and forward in a strange way. By moving that way, the chameleon looks less like a moving animal. 43 A chameleon’s tongue is very long and moves very fast. To catch food, a chameleon hides in the trees until an insect(昆虫) walks by. 44 A chameleon can catch insects as far away as two times its body length. The end of its tongue is very sticky. When a chameleon catches an insect, the tongue shoots forward at a great speed. And the insect is caught in a flash. Chameleons are amazing animals. But like many other animals, they’re in trouble. 45 This is because the forests and other areas where they live are disappearing or are being changed by people. And when the area is changed too much, it becomes difficult for chameleons to live there. Scientists are working to help the endangered chameleons by learning as much as they can about these colorful animals. A．Many kinds of chameleons are endangered at present. B．Chameleons are famous for their ability to change colors. C．Then it shoots out its tongue to catch the insect all of a sudden. D．Instead, that makes it look more like a leaf swinging in the wind. E．So if colors are not for hiding from danger, how do chameleons stay safe? 四、语篇填词（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） The giant panda is known as a national treasure of China.

In the cozy corner of her childhood home, she would sit for hours at the piano, playing beautiful melodies. One sunny day, as she was lost in the world of music, a curious little monkey, with its fur shining in the sunlight, quietly climbed up in order to join her. The monkey’s bright eyes watched her fingers dancing over the keys with great interest. This became the most unforgettable moment of her childhood. It also planted the seeds of a dream in her mind. The girl wanted to work with animals when she grew up. This dream came true when Kalema was in her early twenties. With a heart full of determination and a head filled with knowledge, she set foot on the African continent and became a wildlife vet in Africa. That was thirty years ago. Since then, Kalema has never stopped caring for wild animals. Day in and day out, she explores the dense jungles and grasslands, facing all kinds of difficulties. She does her best to save the mountain gorilla (猩猩). This animal is in great danger, threatened by habitat loss and illegal hunting. But she doesn’t just protect the animals. She also puts her focus on helping the local communities. When Kalema first arrived in Africa, many local people lived a poor life. Some of them made a living by hunting wild animals. Kalema wanted to protect these animals from bullets (子弹). The key to doing so, she realized, was to improve the local people’s quality of life. The woman offered crops to these people, teaching them the best ways to plant and harvest. By growing the crops, the locals could feed themselves and make money. They no longer needed to go hunting. Slowly, their attitude towards these wild animals began to change. Now, many of these hunters of wildlife have become protectors of it. Last month, Kalema received the Champions of the Earth award for her work. It is the United Nations’ highest environmental honor. Do you want to help protect the wild animals in your area? You can learn from Kalema and start by getting to the root of the problem. 30．Why did Gladys Kalcma become a vet? A．She preferred animals to the piano. B．She had that daydream when she was little. C．She had an unforgettable experience with a monkey. D．She wanted to save the endangered animals. 31．To protect the wild animals, Kalema changed ______. A．the local citizens’ quality of living B．the kind of crops C．the hunters’ attitude to her D．the natural environment 32．What matters most for Kalema’s success according to the writer? A．The influence of her childhood. B．Over fifty years’ hard work. C．Local people’s trust. D．Her intelligence to solve a problem. 33．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Achieving Dreams by Planting Seeds B．Saving Animals by Saving People C．Becoming Famous by Being a Kind Vet D．Winning Awards by Winning People’s Hearts 【答案】30．C 31．A 32．D 33．B 【导语】本文介绍“地球卫士奖”的获奖者Kalema，她通过提高当地人民的生活质量，教他们种植庄稼，改变他们的打猎习惯，以此来挽救野生动物。 30．细节理解题。根据第一段“One sunny day, as she was lost in the world of music, a curious little monkey, with its fur shining in the sunlight, quietly climbed up in order to join her.…The girl wanted to work with animals when she grew up.”可知，Gladys Kalema成为了一名兽医是因为她小时候和一只猴子有过一次难忘的经历。故选C。 31．细节理解题。根据“Kalema wanted to protect these animals from bullets (子弹). The key to doing so, she realized, was to improve the local people’s quality of life.”可知，Kalema认为保护野生动物的关键是提高当地人民的生活质量。故选A。 32．推理判断题。根据“Do you want to help protect the wild animals in your area? You can learn from Kalema and start by getting to the root of the problem”可知，作者觉得Kalema成功解救野生动物在于她从根本上改变当地人的生活水平，由此推出Kalema解决问题的智慧对她的成功至关重要。故选D。 33．最佳标题题。本文介绍“地球卫士奖”的获奖者Kalema，她通过提高当地人民的生活质量，教他们种植庄稼，改变他们的打猎习惯，以此来挽救野生动物。因此选项B“通过拯救人类来拯救动物”切合文章大意。故选B。 C ①When autumn arrives in the United States and Canada, you can see one of nature’s greatest scenes — the yearly migration of the monarch butterflies (帝王蝶). ②No other butterfly in the world migrates like the orange and black monarchs of North America. They cannot live for long periods in cold weather. For this reason, each autumn around October, the butterflies from Canada travel up to 3.000 kilometers south to spend the winter in warmer locations. Some even fly to the mountains of Mexico. There are so many of them that they almost block out the sky. You can even hear their wings beating. ③It usually takes the butterflies two months to reach the south of Mexico. After spending five months there, they head back north in the spring. But not one butterfly finishes the whole round-trip. They lay eggs along the way and die. Three generations (代) of butterflies will live and die during the spring journey alone. The fourth and final generation of the year is born in early autumn and will reach the north. But the butterflies hardly get to rest before starting the long journey south again to Mexico. ④The most amazing thing about these butterflies is that they return to the very same trees in Mexico that their great-great-grandparents used the winter before. ⑤However, ________. ⑥In 2015, the US Fish and Wildlife Service said that nearly a billion monarchs have disappeared from the overwintering sites (越冬地点) since 1990, reported the Washington Post. ⑦One of the main reasons, experts say, is that farmers have used herbicides (除草剂) on plants that the monarchs’ larvae (幼虫) live and feed on. 34．Which word can replace the underlined word “migration”? A．Birth. B．Travel. C．Death. D．Study. 35．Monarch butterflies fly from ________ to ________ each year. A．America; Mexico B．Canada; Mexico C．America; Canada D．Canada; America 36．Which of the following can be put into the ________? A．the populations of this colorful butterfly have dropped in recent years B．these butterflies can’t remember their grandparents' names and houses C．their colors change during the yearly migration D．farmers in the US don’t like the butterflies at all 37．The structure of this passage may be ________. A． B． C． D． 【答案】34．B 35．B 36．A 37．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了北美帝王蝶的迁徙过程及其数量减少的原因。 34．词义猜测题。根据“the yearly migration of the monarch butterflies”和上下文的描述可知，migration可用“travel”替代，意思为旅行或迁徙。故选B。 35．细节理解题。根据“the butterflies from Canada travel up to 3,000 kilometers south to spend the winter in warmer locations. Some even fly to the mountains of Mexico.”可知，帝王蝶从加拿大飞到墨西哥过冬。故选B。 36．推理判断题。根据“nearly a billion monarchs have disappeared from the overwintering sites”和后面的原因可知，近年来这种蝴蝶的数量在不断减少，A项“近年来，这种色彩斑斓的蝴蝶数量有所减少”符合语境。故选A。 37．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，①引出帝王蝶；②③④介绍帝王蝶的迁徙过程；⑤提到帝王蝶数量有所减少，⑥⑦介绍帝王蝶数量减少的原因。故选A。 D China has its first group of four national parks to protect some endangered animals. a Name: Sanjiangyuan National Park Location: in Qinghai Province Located on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, Sanjiangyuan is home to hundreds of wild animals. The Sanjiangyuan area is also called China’s water tower. b Name: Wuyi Mountain National Park Location: in Fujian and Jiangxi provinces The park has the most complete, most typical (典型的), and largest area of the native forest. It is known as the birds’ fun park, the kingdom of snakes and the world of insects. c Name: Giant Panda National Park Location: in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces The park holds more than 70% of China’s wild giant pandas. Besides “the national treasures” of China, the park is also home to some highly protected animals, including the snub-nosed monkeys (金丝猴). d Name: Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park Location: in Hainan Province The park covers less than 0.046% of the country’s land, yet it is home to almost 20% of the country’s amphibians (两栖动物) and 38.6% of China’s birds, which are native to the island. 38．Match the parks a—d with two topics: ①The park lies within one province; ②The park lies in more than one province. Which of the following is RIGHT? A．①—ab ②—cd B．①—ad ②—bc C．①—ac ②—bd D．①—a ②—bcd 39．Which animal may NOT be seen at Wuyi Mountain National Park?

D．To tell why the National Park is in Hainan. 【答案】38．B 39．C 40．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国首批四个国家公园的相关信息。 38．细节理解题。根据表格信息可知，Sanjiangyuan National Park位于青海省，Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park位于海南省，这两个公园都在一个省内，对应①；Wuyi Mountain National Park位于福建和江西两省，Giant Panda National Park位于四川、陕西和甘肃三省，这两个公园位于不止一个省内，对应②，即：①—ad ②—bc。故选B。 39．细节理解题。根据“Wuyi Mountain National Park | It is known as the birds’ fun park, the kingdom of snakes and the world of insects.”可知，武夷山国家公园被称为鸟类的乐园、蛇的王国和昆虫的世界，并未提及金丝猴，所以在武夷山国家公园可能看不到金丝猴。故选C。 40．推理判断题。本段提到海南热带雨林国家公园占地面积不到全国陆地面积的 0.046%，却拥有全国近20%的两栖动物和38.6%的本土鸟类；通过数字对比，突出了该公园虽面积小，但在生物多样性方面的重要性。故选B。 第二节、阅读理解(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺、内容完整，并将其标号填写在下面题号后的横线上。 There are 202 kinds of chameleons(变色龙) in the world that scientists know about. 42% of these different kinds of chameleons live in Madagascar. 41 Scientists used to think these animals do that to hide from danger. But now they know the main reason is to communicate with each other. Chameleons can change colors to draw other chameleons’ attention or to warn them to go away. They can use their colors to show that they are angry or scared sometimes. 42 It turns out that they stay safe by moving backward and forward in a strange way. By moving that way, the chameleon looks less like a moving animal. 43 A chameleon’s tongue is very long and moves very fast. To catch food, a chameleon hides in the trees until an insect(昆虫) walks by. 44 A chameleon can catch insects as far away as two times its body length. The end of its tongue is very sticky. When a chameleon catches an insect, the tongue shoots forward at a great speed. And the insect is caught in a flash. Chameleons are amazing animals. But like many other animals, they’re in trouble. 45 This is because the forests and other areas where they live are disappearing or are being changed by people. And when the area is changed too much, it becomes difficult for chameleons to live there. Scientists are working to help the endangered chameleons by learning as much as they can about these colorful animals. A．Many kinds of chameleons are endangered at present. B．Chameleons are famous for their ability to change colors. C．Then it shoots out its tongue to catch the insect all of a sudden. D．Instead, that makes it look more like a leaf swinging in the wind. E．So if colors are not for hiding from danger, how do chameleons stay safe? 【答案】41．B 42．E 43．D 44．C 45．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了变色龙的相关知识。 41．根据“Scientists used to think these animals do that to hide from danger. But now they know the main reason is to communicate with each other.”可知，此处说的是变色龙变色的情况，选项B“变色龙以其变色能力而闻名。”符合，故选B。 42．根据“They can use their colors to show that they are angry or scared sometimes.”以及“It turns out that they stay safe by moving backward and forward in a strange way.”可知，此处应是承上启下的句子，总结上文说它们不是通过变色来保持安全的并提出它们是如何保持安全的疑问，选项E“那么，如果颜色不是为了躲避危险，变色龙如何保持安全呢？”符合，故选E。 43．根据“By moving that way, the chameleon looks less like a moving animal.”可知，此处是说变色龙看起来像什么，选项D“相反，这让它看起来更像一片在风中摆动的树叶。”符合，故选D。 44．根据“A chameleon’s tongue is very long and moves very fast. To catch food, a chameleon hides in the trees until an insect(昆虫) walks by.”以及“A chameleon can catch insects as far away as two times its body length.”可知，此处应是说变色龙捕食的情况，选项C“然后它突然伸出舌头抓住昆虫。”符合，故选C。 45．根据“Chameleons are amazing animals. But like many other animals, they’re in trouble.”可知，此处说的是变色龙面临的危险是什么，选项A“目前，许多种类的变色龙濒临灭绝。”符合，故选A。 四、语篇填词（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） The giant panda is known as a national treasure of China.
