She spent one year cleaning up litter from 52 beaches on the UK’s south coast. Smith set out on her task in January to carry out her New Year’s resolution (决心) of making her community a better and cleaner place. The great goal came to her after watching a documentary on plastic pollution the previous year, and she knew she couldn’t just do nothing. Over the year, Smith cleaned beaches from Coverack on the Lizard Peninsula to Blackpool Sands in Devon. Often, volunteers would join her in her efforts. During her beach cleans, Smith was sometimes mistaken for doing community service that have been ordered by court as a punishment. She said:“People don’t understand I’ve been doing this voluntarily. We should all take responsibility for picking up the litter as well as ensuring we don’t drop litter in the first place.” She manages to make her hometown an example for the plastic-free movement in the United Kingdom. In order to help achieve this goal, she founded The Final Straw (吸管). “I founded the Final Straw to try and raise awareness of the very harmful damage we are doing to our oceans from our using single-use plastics. I feel I have a responsibility to my children and grandchildren to do something about it,” she said. Her resolution year may be over but this grandma continues her pursuit (追求). “A lot of the rubbish I have picked up is everyday items,” said Pat. “These things are used by all of us and it is shocking to find them polluting our beautiful beaches. Please let’s try to be morel thoughtful in this coming year. I’m driven to try and protect our living planet for my children and grandchildren and I will continue to do everything in my power to achieve that.” It’s particularly heartwarming to see more and more people taking part in it and learning about how plastic affects our world, as this gives us all a lot of hope for the future. 4. What contributed to Smith’s New Year’s resolution of cleaning her community? A. Community service. B. A film or television program. C. Serious pollution in her community. D. Various ocean protection activities. 5. What’s people’s mistaken view about Smith’s action? A. She was forced to do that. B. She just pretended to be caring. C. She actually did only a little work. D. She wouldn’t stick to the work for long. 6. Why did Smith found The Final Straw? A. To set a good example to other aged people. B. To keep her promise to her children and grandchildren. C To make people realize the problems with plastic waste. D. To stop the local companies from producing plastic straws. 7. Which words best describe Smith as an environmental activist? A. Polite and warm. B. Calm and helpful. C. Clever and brave. D. Inspiring and determined. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍的是70岁祖母帕特•史密斯积极清理海滩垃圾，激励人们共同保护环境的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Smith set out on her task in January to carry out her New Year’s resolution (决心) of making her community a better and cleaner place. The great goal came to her after watching a documentary on plastic pollution the previous year, and she knew she couldn’t just do nothing.(今年1月，史密斯开始执行她的新年决心，把她的社区变成一个更美好、更清洁的地方。在前一年看了一部关于塑料污染的纪录片后，她想到了这个伟大的目标，她知道她不能什么都不做)”可知，是一部于塑料污染的纪录片促成了史密斯清扫社区的新年决心。B选项（一部电影或电视节目）符合题意。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“During her beach cleans, Smith was sometimes mistaken for doing community service that have been ordered by court as a punishment. She said:“People don’t understand I’ve been doing this voluntarily. We should all take responsibility for picking up the litter as well as ensuring we don’t drop litter in the first place.”(在清理海滩的过程中，史密斯有时会被误认为是在进行因受法院惩罚的社区服务!她说：“人们不明白我是自愿做这些的。我们都应该负责捡起垃圾，并确保首先不乱扔垃圾。”)”可知，人们误解她，认为她是被迫地，而非自愿地清理海滩。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I founded the Final Straw to try and raise awareness of the very harmful damage we are doing to our oceans from our using single-use plastics.(我创立了“最后的吸管”，试图提高人们对我们使用一次性塑料对海洋造成的有害破坏的认识)”可知，她创立了“最后的吸管”运动，目的是提高人们对使用一次性塑料对海洋造成的极具危害性破坏的认识。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’m driven to try and protect our living planet for my children and grandchildren and I will continue to do everything in my power to achieve that.(我被驱使着为我的孩子和孙子们保护我们的地球，我将继续尽我所能来实现这一目标)”可知，她有决心(determined)；根据最后一段中“ It’s particularly heartwarming to see more and more people taking part in it and learning about how plastic affects our world, as this gives us all a lot of hope for the future.(看到越来越多的人参与其中，了解塑料是如何影响我们的世界，这让我们对未来充满了希望，这让我们感到特别温暖)”可知，她激励了更多的人参与，是鼓舞人心的(inspiring)。故选D。 C This March marks 30 years since wild gray wolves were released in Yellowstone National Park after having been absent from the area for decades. Their return has given scientists a rare opportunity to research what will happen in an ecosystem when a key species is reintroduced. As America’s first national park, Yellowstone holds a significant position in the country’s conservation history. Established in 1872, Yellowstone saw rangers (护林员) launch a campaign to exclude wolves, considering them a threat to humans and livestock. The last two wolves in the park were killed in 1926. In 1978, wolves were listed as endangered in most of the US. Wolves are at the top of the food chain and help keep the populations of other local species at a healthy level. After wolves disappeared from Yellowstone, the elk (麋鹿) population increased, and the elk consumed plants that other species, including hummingbirds and beavers (海狸), depended on for food. At the same time, the number of coyotes increased rapidly as well. As a result, the coyotes hunted and killed a significant proportion of the red foxes living within the park. In 1995, experts brought a group of wild wolves from Canada to Yellowstone. Over the next two years, 41 wolves from Canada and northwestern Montana were released into the park. The population grew and has remained stable since 2009, typically ranging from 83 to 123 wolves. They are now found throughout Yellowstone and have also established territories outside the park. Since the return of wolves, elk have spent more time avoiding the enemies and less time eating plants. This leaves more food for beavers, whose population has grown from one colony (群落) to nine. Beavers, in turn, have developed new habitats for other creatures by building dams. Trees have grown taller, creating more homes for birds, and the remains left over from wolves’ hunts have also fed scavenging animals like ravens, bears, and coyotes. “The Yellowstone story is still unfolding,” ecologist William Ripple told Live Science. “And I’m sure that there will be something amazing waiting for us to discover.” 8. Why was there a campaign to deal with wolves before 1926? A. They were large in quantities. B. They were viewed as a danger. C. Their existence affected the park’s sustainability. D. Their violent behaviors caused some hurt to tourists. 9 How does the author develop paragraph 3? A. By listing examples. B. By giving reasons. C. By presenting previous studies. D. By pointing out similarities and differences. 10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The growth of the wolf population in Yellowstone. B. The influence of wolves’ return on Yellowstone’s ecosystem. C. The relationship between wolves and beavers in Yellowstone. D. The efforts made in hopes of protecting the ecosystem in Yellowstone. 11. What is William Ripple’s attitude to the return of wolves in Yellowstone? A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Unconcerned. D. Positive. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍黄石国家公园重新引入灰狼后对生态系统的影响及相关研究。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Established in 1872, Yellowstone saw rangers (护林员) launch a campaign to exclude wolves, considering them a threat to humans and livestock. The last two wolves in the park were killed in 1926. (黄石公园成立于1872年，护林员发起了一场驱赶狼的运动，认为它们对人类和牲畜构成威胁。公园里的最后两只狼是在1926年被杀死的。)”可知，1926年前开展驱赶狼的运动是因为它们被视为一种威胁。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“After wolves disappeared from Yellowstone, the elk (麋鹿) population increased, and the elk consumed plants that other species, including hummingbirds and beavers (海狸), depended on for food. At the same time, the number of coyotes increased rapidly as well. As a result, the coyotes hunted and killed a significant proportion of the red foxes living within the park. (狼群从黄石公园消失后，麋鹿数量增加，它们啃食蜂鸟和海狸等其他物种赖以生存的植物。与此同时，土狼的数量也迅速增加，导致它们猎杀了公园内大部分的红狐。)”可知，作者通过列举麋鹿过度繁殖、土狼激增导致红狐减少等具体例子，说明狼群消失后生态系统的连锁反应，采用了“列举例子”的论证手法。故选A项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“Since the return of wolves, elk have spent more time avoiding the enemies and less time eating plants. This leaves more food for beavers, whose population has grown from one colony (群落) to nine. Beavers, in turn, have developed new habitats for other creatures by building dams. Trees have grown taller, creating more homes for birds, and the remains left over from wolves’ hunts have also fed scavenging animals like ravens, bears, and coyotes.(自狼群回归后，麋鹿花费更多时间躲避天敌，进食植物的时间减少，这为海狸留下了更多食物，其种群数量从1个群落增长到9个。海狸通过筑坝为其他生物创造了新栖息地，树木长得更高为鸟类提供了更多家园，狼群捕猎后的残骸也为渡鸦、熊和土狼等食腐动物提供了食物。)”可知，该段通过具体描述狼群回归后对麋鹿、海狸、鸟类、食腐动物等物种的影响，全面展示了狼群对黄石公园生态系统的积极作用。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中William Ripple所说的“The Yellowstone story is still unfolding,” ecologist William Ripple told Live Science. “And I’m sure that there will be something amazing waiting for us to discover.”(生态学家威廉·瑞普告诉《生活科学》：“黄石公园的故事仍在继续，我相信会有惊人的发现等待我们去探索。”)可知，他对狼群回归持积极态度，认为其对生态系统的影响具有持续的研究价值和积极意义。故选D项。 D The intelligence of crows (乌鸦) continues to surprise scientists. According to a research published this week in Science, crows can indeed count. The results show that crows have counting capacities near those of human babies, says lead study author Diana Liao, a researcher at the University of Tübingen in Germany. “We think this is the first time this has been shown for any animal species,” she adds. Crows do not appear to be capable of symbolic counting, where numbers serve as an exact representation. Instead, the birds count by controlling the number of vocalizations (发出的声音) they produce to correspond to associated hints. This is similar to how young children count before learning symbolic numbers, Liao says. For example, a baby who is asked how many apples are on a tree may answer, “One, one, one”. The baby produces the number of speech sounds which agree with that of the apples, rather than just saying, “Three.” In the study, Liao and her colleagues presented the crows with randomly ordered hints, four of which were visual-colored numbers that appeared on a touch screen. And four of them were auditory (听觉的), including sounds made by guitars and drums. Through trial and error, the birds had to figure out the correct number of calls to pair with each hint. If they got it right, they received a worm reward. After receiving about 180 training sessions, all of the crows were able to produce the correct number of vocalizations associated with the hints at a level higher than chance — a “pretty cool” finding, Liao says. She suspects, too, that the crows could have mastered numbers higher than four if they were given the opportunity. Onur Güntürkün, a biopsychologist at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, who was not involved in the research, says the new paper is “excellent” even if the findings are “not unexpected” given all that scientists already know about crows’ intelligence. 12. What is the new research about? A. Crows’ ability to count. B. Crows’ skill of solving problems. C. A comparison between crows and babies. D. An investigation into auditory ability. 13. Why does the author mention a baby counting apples in paragraph 3? A. To explain how babies think. B. To clarify how crows count. C. To illustrate the wisdom of crows. D. To display baby learning progress. 14. How did the crows get the worm rewards? A. By counting objects on the screen. B. By picking colors from the touch screen. C. By choosing between sounds and images. D. By matching sounds to visual and audio hints. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The results fit with previous findings. B. The study needs further confirmation. C. The biopsychologist is critical of the study. D. The results are beyond scientists’ expectations. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于乌鸦计数能力的新研究，乌鸦的计数能力接近人类婴儿。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“The results show that crows have counting capacities near those of human babies, says lead study author Diana Liao, a researcher at the University of Tubingen in Germany.(该研究的主要作者、德国图宾根大学的研究员 Diana Liao说，研究结果表明，乌鸦的计数能力接近人类婴儿。)”可知，该研究结果表明，乌鸦的计数能力接近人类婴儿，由此可知，这项新研究是关于乌鸦的计数能力。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“Instead, the birds count by controlling the number of vocalizations (K) they produce to correspond to associated hints. This is similar to how young children count before Learning symbolic numbers, Liao says. For example, a baby who is asked how many apples are on a tree may answer, “One, one, one”. The baby produces the number of speech sounds which agree with that of the apples, rather than just saying, “Three.”(相反，鸟类通过控制它们发出的声音数量来计数，以对应相关的提示。Liao说，这类似于幼儿在学习符号数字之前的计数方式。例如，当一个婴儿被问到一棵树上有几个苹果时，他可能会回答：‘一个，一个，一个’。婴儿发出的语音数量与苹果的发音一致，而不是只说‘三个’。)”可知，乌类的计数方式类似于幼儿在学习符号数字之前的计数方式，幼儿数苹果正是幼儿在学习符号数字之前的计数方式，由此可知，作者在第3段中提到幼儿数苹果是为了阐明乌鸦是如何计数的。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段内容“In the study, Liao and her colleagues presented the crows with randomly ordered hints, four of which were visual-colored numbers that appeared on a touch screen. And four of them were auditory (听觉的), including sounds made by guitars and drums. Through trial and error, the birds had to figure out the correct number of calls to pair with each hint. If they got it right, they received a worm reward.(在这项研究中，Liao和她的同事们向乌鸦提供了随机排列的提示，其中四个是出现在触摸屏上的视觉彩色数字。其中四个是听觉的，包括吉他和鼓发出的声音。通过反复试验，鸟类必须找出与每个提示配对的正确叫声数量。 如果它们做对了，它们会得到蠕虫奖励。)”可知，乌鸦需要将触摸屏上的视觉彩色数字和听觉的声音匹配正确，才会得到蠕虫奖励，由此可知，乌鸦是通过将声音与视觉和听觉提示相匹配得到虫子奖励。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Onur Giintirkiin, a biopsychologist at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, who was not involved in the research, says the new paper is “excellent” even if the findings are “not unexpected” given all that scientists already know about crows’ intelligence.(德国波鸿鲁尔大学的生物心理学家Onur Gintirkin没有参与这项研究，他说，考虑到科学家们对乌鸦智力的所有了解，即使这些发现‘并不出乎意料’，这篇新论文也是‘优秀的’。)”可知，这些发现并不出乎意料，因为科学家已了解乌鸦的智力，由此可知，从最后一段可以推断出研究结果与以前的发现一致。故选A。 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Give Back to the Community: Simple Acts Make a Difference Volunteering is a great way to make a positive impact on the world around us.

Start with a minor project or event to get a feel for the organization and their mission. This can also help you determine what type of volunteer work you enjoy and what you want to do more of in the future. (您不必立刻承诺参与长期的志愿服务项目。可以从一个小型项目或活动开始，以了解该组织及其使命。这也有助于您确定自己喜欢哪种类型的志愿工作以及未来想做更多什么类型的工作。)”可知，本段建议人们在选择项目时要从小事做起，避免一开始就参与一些长期的项目，A项“Start small (从小事做起)”能概括本段主旨，符合语境。故选A。 【20题详解】 由上文“Consistency is key when it comes to volunteering.

Pam Bales, an experienced hiker, left the pavement of Base Road and stepped onto snow-covered Jewell Trail. She planned a six-hour hike through New Hampshire’s Mount Washington State Park. She had packed for almost every emergency and intended to walk alone. She’d checked the weather forecast posted by the Mount Washington Observatory before she left. Based on her experience, Bales knew that her hike was realistic. Besides, she had two emergency plans and extra layers of clothing to better adjust her body temperature as conditions changed. The hike up the lower part of Jewell Trail was pleasant. Bales felt excited as she walked up into snowy paths. The sun shone through the trees and cast a shadow over her smiling face. Less than an hour later, loads of dark clouds had replaced the sunshine, and snow covered the surrounding trees. She still smiled. However, the weather was showing its teeth. Bales added even more layers to shelter herself from the cold winds and thick fog. She made her way across the snow-covered ridge (山脊) toward Mount Washington and began to think about turning back. Suddenly, she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her, which were fresh tracks made by someone not long ago. She’d been following faint tracks all day and hadn’t given them much thought, because so many people climb Jewell Trail. But these, she realized, had been made by a pair of trainers, not suitable for hiking on snow. She had a feeling that whoever left those tracks might be in danger—the messy steps suggested these were probably from amateur hikers that had been ill-prepared for the wilderness. Meanwhile, Bales was getting colder, even though she was moving fast and generating some body heat. With strong wind screaming and attacking her back and left side, she decided to abandon her plan. The only thing, however, kept her on the trail was the footprints in the snow. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Bales faced a dilemma about whether to follow the tracks or not. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: She approached the injured man instantly. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Bales faced a dilemma about whether to follow the tracks or not. If she chose to follow the tracks, she’d add time and risk to her hiking. But the tracks ahead suggested someone might be in danger. She couldn’t let this go. She called out into the frozen fog, “Is anybody out there? Do you need help?” Then she walked cautiously in the direction of the tracks. Minutes later, she spotted a figure sitting on a rock, trembling in the wind. His face was in pain as he said, “My ankle... I think it’s broken.” Paragraph 2: She approached the injured man instantly. Without any hesitation, she covered his body with warm clothes, and then she swiftly wrapped his leg with a bandage from her bag. “We need to get out here as soon as possible,” said Bales. She supported the man and walked slowly along the trail. With great efforts, they managed to get out of the mountain.The man, tears in eyes, whispered, “You saved my life.” Bales simply nodded, knowing no mountain could outweigh a single human heartbeat. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了经验丰富的徒步旅行者Pam Bales在新罕布什尔州的华盛顿山州立公园徒步时，意外发现一组可能是由准备不足的业余徒步者留下的脚印，并决定跟随这些脚印去查看是否有人需要帮助。最终，她发现了一名受伤的男子，并成功地将他救出山的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Bales陷入两难：是否要追随这串脚印？”以及第二段首句内容“她立刻走向受伤的男子。”可知，第一段可描写Bales 最终还是选择追随脚印，并最终看到了一个受伤的人。 ②由第二段首句内容“她立刻走向受伤的男子。”可知，第二段可描写Bales 救治了这位男子，并帮助他走出了山区。 2.续写线索：Bales陷入两难，不知道是否要追随这串脚印——犹豫之下，她还是选择了追踪，而且脚印也暗示了有人可能遇险——她继续往前走，几分钟后，她看到一个受伤的人，于是她赶紧走向受伤的男子——对她进行了救治，并帮助男子走出了山区——男子对Bales充满感激之情 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①表明：suggest/indicate ②大声喊叫：call out/cry out/shout ③看到：spot/notice/see 情绪类 ①小心翼翼地：cautiously/scrupulously ②犹豫、踌躇：hesitation/vacillation/reluctance 【点睛】【高分句型1】If she chose to follow the tracks, she’d add time and risk to her hiking.（运用了if引导的条件状语从句） 【高分句型2】But the tracks ahead suggested someone might be in danger.（运用了省略连词that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河北辛集中学2024-2025学年度第二学期第三次阶段考试 高二英语试卷 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。第Ⅰ卷1 至 9页，第Ⅱ卷 10至12页。 满分150分。考试时间120分钟。 第一部分 听力理解（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

She spent one year cleaning up litter from 52 beaches on the UK’s south coast. Smith set out on her task in January to carry out her New Year’s resolution (决心) of making her community a better and cleaner place. The great goal came to her after watching a documentary on plastic pollution the previous year, and she knew she couldn’t just do nothing. Over the year, Smith cleaned beaches from Coverack on the Lizard Peninsula to Blackpool Sands in Devon. Often, volunteers would join her in her efforts. During her beach cleans, Smith was sometimes mistaken for doing community service that have been ordered by court as a punishment. She said:“People don’t understand I’ve been doing this voluntarily. We should all take responsibility for picking up the litter as well as ensuring we don’t drop litter in the first place.” She manages to make her hometown an example for the plastic-free movement in the United Kingdom. In order to help achieve this goal, she founded The Final Straw (吸管). “I founded the Final Straw to try and raise awareness of the very harmful damage we are doing to our oceans from our using single-use plastics. I feel I have a responsibility to my children and grandchildren to do something about it,” she said. Her resolution year may be over but this grandma continues her pursuit (追求). “A lot of the rubbish I have picked up is everyday items,” said Pat. “These things are used by all of us and it is shocking to find them polluting our beautiful beaches. Please let’s try to be morel thoughtful in this coming year. I’m driven to try and protect our living planet for my children and grandchildren and I will continue to do everything in my power to achieve that.” It’s particularly heartwarming to see more and more people taking part in it and learning about how plastic affects our world, as this gives us all a lot of hope for the future. 4. What contributed to Smith’s New Year’s resolution of cleaning her community? A. Community service. B. A film or television program. C. Serious pollution in her community. D. Various ocean protection activities. 5. What’s people’s mistaken view about Smith’s action? A. She was forced to do that. B. She just pretended to be caring. C. She actually did only a little work. D. She wouldn’t stick to the work for long. 6. Why did Smith found The Final Straw? A. To set a good example to other aged people. B. To keep her promise to her children and grandchildren. C. To make people realize the problems with plastic waste. D. To stop the local companies from producing plastic straws. 7. Which words best describe Smith as an environmental activist? A. Polite and warm. B. Calm and helpful. C. Clever and brave. D. Inspiring and determined. C This March marks 30 years since wild gray wolves were released in Yellowstone National Park after having been absent from the area for decades. Their return has given scientists a rare opportunity to research what will happen in an ecosystem when a key species is reintroduced. As America’s first national park, Yellowstone holds a significant position in the country’s conservation history. Established in 1872, Yellowstone saw rangers (护林员) launch a campaign to exclude wolves, considering them a threat to humans and livestock. The last two wolves in the park were killed in 1926. In 1978, wolves were listed as endangered in most of the US. Wolves are at the top of the food chain and help keep the populations of other local species at a healthy level. After wolves disappeared from Yellowstone, the elk (麋鹿) population increased, and the elk consumed plants that other species, including hummingbirds and beavers (海狸), depended on for food. At the same time, the number of coyotes increased rapidly as well. As a result, the coyotes hunted and killed a significant proportion of the red foxes living within the park. In 1995, experts brought a group of wild wolves from Canada to Yellowstone. Over the next two years, 41 wolves from Canada and northwestern Montana were released into the park. The population grew and has remained stable since 2009, typically ranging from 83 to 123 wolves. They are now found throughout Yellowstone and have also established territories outside the park. Since the return of wolves, elk have spent more time avoiding the enemies and less time eating plants. This leaves more food for beavers, whose population has grown from one colony (群落) to nine. Beavers, in turn, have developed new habitats for other creatures by building dams. Trees have grown taller, creating more homes for birds, and the remains left over from wolves’ hunts have also fed scavenging animals like ravens, bears, and coyotes. “The Yellowstone story is still unfolding,” ecologist William Ripple told Live Science. “And I’m sure that there will be something amazing waiting for us to discover.” 8. Why was there a campaign to deal with wolves before 1926? A. They were large in quantities. B. They were viewed as a danger. C. Their existence affected the park’s sustainability. D. Their violent behaviors caused some hurt to tourists. 9. How does the author develop paragraph 3? A. By listing examples. B. By giving reasons. C. By presenting previous studies. D. By pointing out similarities and differences. 10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The growth of the wolf population in Yellowstone. B. The influence of wolves’ return on Yellowstone’s ecosystem. C. The relationship between wolves and beavers in Yellowstone. D. The efforts made in hopes of protecting the ecosystem in Yellowstone. 11. What is William Ripple’s attitude to the return of wolves in Yellowstone? A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Unconcerned. D. Positive. D The intelligence of crows (乌鸦) continues to surprise scientists. According to a research published this week in Science, crows can indeed count. The results show that crows have counting capacities near those of human babies, says lead study author Diana Liao, a researcher at the University of Tübingen in Germany. “We think this is the first time this has been shown for any animal species,” she adds. Crows do not appear to be capable of symbolic counting, where numbers serve as an exact representation. Instead, the birds count by controlling the number of vocalizations (发出的声音) they produce to correspond to associated hints. This is similar to how young children count before learning symbolic numbers, Liao says. For example, a baby who is asked how many apples are on a tree may answer, “One, one, one”. The baby produces the number of speech sounds which agree with that of the apples, rather than just saying, “Three.” In the study, Liao and her colleagues presented the crows with randomly ordered hints, four of which were visual-colored numbers that appeared on a touch screen. And four of them were auditory (听觉的), including sounds made by guitars and drums. Through trial and error, the birds had to figure out the correct number of calls to pair with each hint. If they got it right, they received a worm reward. After receiving about 180 training sessions, all of the crows were able to produce the correct number of vocalizations associated with the hints at a level higher than chance — a “pretty cool” finding, Liao says. She suspects, too, that the crows could have mastered numbers higher than four if they were given the opportunity. Onur Güntürkün, a biopsychologist at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, who was not involved in the research, says the new paper is “excellent” even if the findings are “not unexpected” given all that scientists already know about crows’ intelligence. 12. What is the new research about? A. Crows’ ability to count. B. Crows’ skill of solving problems. C. A comparison between crows and babies. D. An investigation into auditory ability. 13. Why does the author mention a baby counting apples in paragraph 3? A. To explain how babies think. B. To clarify how crows count. C. To illustrate the wisdom of crows. D. To display baby learning progress. 14. How did the crows get the worm rewards? A. By counting objects on the screen. B. By picking colors from the touch screen. C. By choosing between sounds and images. D. By matching sounds to visual and audio hints. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The results fit with previous findings. B. The study needs further confirmation. C. The biopsychologist is critical of the study. D. The results are beyond scientists’ expectations. 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Give Back to the Community: Simple Acts Make a Difference Volunteering is a great way to make a positive impact on the world around us.

Pam Bales, an experienced hiker, left the pavement of Base Road and stepped onto snow-covered Jewell Trail. She planned a six-hour hike through New Hampshire’s Mount Washington State Park. She had packed for almost every emergency and intended to walk alone. She’d checked the weather forecast posted by the Mount Washington Observatory before she left. Based on her experience, Bales knew that her hike was realistic. Besides, she had two emergency plans and extra layers of clothing to better adjust her body temperature as conditions changed. The hike up the lower part of Jewell Trail was pleasant. Bales felt excited as she walked up into snowy paths. The sun shone through the trees and cast a shadow over her smiling face. Less than an hour later, loads of dark clouds had replaced the sunshine, and snow covered the surrounding trees. She still smiled. However, the weather was showing its teeth. Bales added even more layers to shelter herself from the cold winds and thick fog. She made her way across the snow-covered ridge (山脊) toward Mount Washington and began to think about turning back. Suddenly, she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her, which were fresh tracks made by someone not long ago. She’d been following faint tracks all day and hadn’t given them much thought, because so many people climb Jewell Trail. But these, she realized, had been made by a pair of trainers, not suitable for hiking on snow. She had a feeling that whoever left those tracks might be in danger—the messy steps suggested these were probably from amateur hikers that had been ill-prepared for the wilderness. Meanwhile, Bales was getting colder, even though she was moving fast and generating some body heat. With strong wind screaming and attacking her back and left side, she decided to abandon her plan. The only thing, however, kept her on the trail was the footprints in the snow. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Bales faced a dilemma about whether to follow the tracks or not. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: She approached the injured man instantly. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
