2025中考专项热点时文阅读理解与阅读表达专项训练八（基础层、培优层） Passage 1 基础层 Each year, the UK’s Cornish Seal Sanctuary helps more than 70 rescued gray seal pups get back to full health. In its seal hospital, staff can look after six ill seal pups at a time. Recently, the sanctuary has been working with the University of Exeter on a project to track where the seals go once they’re released into the wild. The project is led by Luis Huckstadt, who attached GPS trackers to 16 seal pups that were released from the sanctuary. The data collected from the trackers will help researchers understand how seals adapt when they go back into the wild. Each seal pup was set free in the ocean near Cornwall, England. After being released, a pup named Selkie was the first of the tagged seals to cross international waters. He swam up the River Somme in northern France and then settled in the English Channel, a narrow area of the Atlantic Ocean between France and England. Another pup, named Maggot, surprised researchers when she traveled more than 150 miles across the English Channel to Brittany, France. Meanwhile, a pup named Brittle headed to Ireland and began exploring its southern coast. Some of the pups preferred to stick closer to home. One seal named Whirligig, who was originally rescued from Weymouth, in Dorset, England, immediately swam home after he was released. In the spring, Whirligig was seen relaxing around Brixham Harbor on the south coast of Devon, also in England. Anne van Domberg from the Cornish Seal Sanctuary said, “For the first time, we’re seeing where these pups go, how quickly they settle, and where they find feeding grounds.” During the most recent winter, the animal care team at the sanctuary treated more than 30 seal pups. Van Domberg said it was heartwarming to see the seals thriving and exploring after they were released into the world. She said, “It’s real proof that our work matters.” 阅读理解题 1.
