Under the organization of the parent association, the students began a 5-kilometer morning jogging program in a park of Beijing, with the aim of improving their fitness, building self-confidence, and developing patience. Every Saturday morning, with a parent chosen as the coach to guide them, they laced up their shoes and set off. The first run was a real challenge. After running just several hundred meters, a few students were out of breath. Some couldn’t even make it halfway, and others had to rely on each other for support to reach the finish line. However, despite the difficulties, their determination never wavered. Along the way, many felt energetic. Most made it to the end by completing their 10th run on Saturday to celebrate their upcoming graduation, as they had been exercising regularly. In recent years, some surveys have shown that the rate of obesity among students who are short of exercise is increasing rapidly. According to an authority report, one in five individuals aged six to seventeen is now overweight, a significant rise from one in twenty in 1995. In addition to weight problems, the lack of exercise has also led to an increase of short-sightedness in schools. Recognizing the potential link between decreased physical activity and health-related problems,various measures have been taken to reduce students’ pressure and increase their exercise time, such as reducing the after-school homework burden. The sixth-grade jogging program serves as an inspiring example, offering a solution to help students find more time to experience health, happiness, and friendship through physical activity. It shows that with dedication and support, even a simple jogging routine can have a great effect on the well-being of young students. 14. Why did the parent association organize the morning jogging program? A. To meet the parents’ requirements. B. To live up to the coach’s expectations. C. To improve the students’ physical and mental health. D. To replace the school’s present physical education classes. 15. What can we learn about the students in the first run? A. Few of them felt energetic. B. Most of them gave up halfway. C. None of them completed the run. D. Not all of them made it to the end. 16. Which word can best describe the morning jogging program? A. Traditional. B. Influential. C. Global. D. Limitless. 【答案】14. C 15. D 16. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了中国一所小学六年级学生在家长协会的组织下，开展晨跑活动的故事。通过这一活动，学生们不仅增强了体质，还培养了自信和毅力，同时也反映了当前学生缺乏锻炼所带来的健康问题。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“with the aim of improving their fitness, building self-confidence, and developing patience(旨在提高他们的身体素质，建立自信，培养耐心)”可知，家长协会组织晨跑活动的目的是为了提高学生的身心健康。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“After running just several hundred meters, a few students were out of breath. Some couldn’t even make it halfway, and others had to rely on each other for support to reach the finish line. (仅仅跑了几百米后，一些学生就气喘吁吁。有些学生甚至无法跑完一半的路程，还有一些学生不得不互相搀扶着到达终点)”可知，第一次跑步时，并非所有学生都坚持到了最后。故选D项。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The sixth-grade jogging program serves as an inspiring example, offering a solution to help students find more time to experience health, happiness, and friendship through physical activity. (六年级的慢跑项目是一个激励人心的例子，它提供了一个解决方案，帮助学生通过体育活动找到更多体验健康、快乐和友谊的时间)”可知，这一活动对学生产生了积极的影响，具有启发性和影响力。故选B项。 C According to a landmark study published today in the journal Science, butterfly numbers across the U. S. have dropped by 22% between 2000 and 2020. Researchers analyzed data from 35 monitoring programs tracking 554 species at nearly 2, 500 locations. “This is a wake-up call. People should be seeing this number and being very, very concerned, not just about butterflies, but about the state of insects in general.” says Eliza Grames, a conservation biologist (保护生物学家) at Binghamton University in New York and co-author of the study. The findings show over 100 species lost half their population, including 22 that decreased by 90% or more. Even common butterflies like the West Virginia white were struggling. Decreases were strongest in the Southwest, while the Pacific Northwest showed smaller losses. However, the study might not show the full picture. Scientists only had enough data to study half of U. S. butterfly species. Grames explained that unstudied species might be in worse condition since they are harder to observe. “This isn’t just about butterflies — it’s a warning sign for the overall biodiversity crisis (生物多样性危机),” says Grames. Insect populations worldwide are decreasing 1—2% yearly due to similar threats. Birds and other animals relying on insects for food face growing risks. Many factors lead to butterfly losses including habitat loss, climate change and pesticide (杀虫剂) use. While solving these problems requires big society efforts, each of us can help. Grames says, “Because insects can have one to three generations per year, even small changes to the environment — such as planting native flowers or creating habitats — can ensure a pretty immediate increase in population.” Of course, participating in butterfly monitoring programs in community is another way to make a difference. “I think butterflies do have the ability to recover fast, if we put the effort into conservation actions.” says Grames. 17. What does the text suggest about unstudied butterfly species? A. They are less influenced by pesticides. B. Their situations might be more serious. C. Current monitoring programs are ineffective. D. Butterflies are harder to track than other insects. 18. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Pesticides are the primary threat. B. Habitat loss drives butterfly decrease. C. Global solutions outweigh individual actions. D. Ordinary people can improve butterfly populations. 19. What is Dr. Grames’ attitude toward butterfly protection efforts? A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Uninterested. 20. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Plant Native Flowers to Help Insects B. Southwest Butterflies Disappear Fastest C. Butterfly Monitoring Programs May Help D. Butterfly Loss Warns of Global Wildlife Crisis 【答案】17. B 18. D 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是美国蝴蝶数量的下降情况及其背后的原因，并呼吁人们采取行动保护生物多样性。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Grames explained that unstudied species might be in worse condition since they are harder to observe. (Grames解释说，未被研究的物种可能状况更糟，因为它们更难观察)”可知，未被研究的蝴蝶物种的情况可能更严重。故选B项。 【18题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Many factors lead to butterfly losses including habitat loss, climate change and pesticide (杀虫剂) use. While solving these problems requires big society efforts, each of us can help.”(许多因素导致蝴蝶数量减少，包括栖息地丧失、气候变化和杀虫剂的使用。虽然解决这些问题需要全社会的共同努力，但每个人都可以贡献力量。)以及下文中引用Grames所说的话“Because insects can have one to three generations per year, even small changes to the environment — such as planting native flowers or creating habitats — can ensure a pretty immediate increase in population.(因为昆虫每年可以繁殖一到三代，即使是对环境的微小改变——比如种植本土花卉或创造栖息地——也可以确保种群数量的迅速增长)”可知，本段主要介绍的是每个人都可以解决这些导致蝴蝶数量减少的问题，由此可知，本段主要讲述普通人可以通过小行动帮助提升蝴蝶数量。故选D项。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I think butterflies do have the ability to recover fast, if we put the effort into conservation actions.” says Grames. (Grames说：“我认为，如果我们努力采取保护行动，蝴蝶确实有能力快速恢复。”)”可知，Grames认为如果采取保护行动，蝴蝶有能力快速恢复，由此可知，Grames博士对蝴蝶保护持充满希望的态度。故选A项。 【20题详解】 主旨大意题。结合全文内容，尤其是首段中的““This is a wake-up call. People should be seeing this number and being very, very concerned, not just about butterflies, but about the state of insects in general.” says Eliza Grames, a conservation biologist (保护生物学家) at Binghamton University in New York and co-author of the study.(纽约宾汉顿大学的保护生物学家、该研究的共同作者Eliza Grames说：“这是一个警钟。人们应该看到这个数字，并感到非常、非常担忧，这不仅仅是关于蝴蝶，而是关于昆虫整体的状况。”)”可知，文章开篇指出美国蝴蝶数量在 2000 年至 2020 年间下降了 22%，接着阐述蝴蝶数量减少的现状、原因，随后强调蝴蝶数量减少是全球生物多样性危机的警示信号，结合下文介绍的美国蝴蝶数量的下降情况及其背后的原因可知，本文主要介绍的是蝴蝶的问题是整个生物多样性危机的一个警告信号，所以题目“蝴蝶减少警示全球野生动物危机”概括了文章的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Even if your budget is tight and your pockets are light, there are ways to experience everything Dublin has to offer.

Under the organization of the parent association, the students began a 5-kilometer morning jogging program in a park of Beijing, with the aim of improving their fitness, building self-confidence, and developing patience. Every Saturday morning, with a parent chosen as the coach to guide them, they laced up their shoes and set off. The first run was a real challenge. After running just several hundred meters, a few students were out of breath. Some couldn’t even make it halfway, and others had to rely on each other for support to reach the finish line. However, despite the difficulties, their determination never wavered. Along the way, many felt energetic. Most made it to the end by completing their 10th run on Saturday to celebrate their upcoming graduation, as they had been exercising regularly. In recent years, some surveys have shown that the rate of obesity among students who are short of exercise is increasing rapidly. According to an authority report, one in five individuals aged six to seventeen is now overweight, a significant rise from one in twenty in 1995. In addition to weight problems, the lack of exercise has also led to an increase of short-sightedness in schools. Recognizing the potential link between decreased physical activity and health-related problems,various measures have been taken to reduce students’ pressure and increase their exercise time, such as reducing the after-school homework burden. The sixth-grade jogging program serves as an inspiring example, offering a solution to help students find more time to experience health, happiness, and friendship through physical activity. It shows that with dedication and support, even a simple jogging routine can have a great effect on the well-being of young students. 14. Why did the parent association organize the morning jogging program? A. To meet the parents’ requirements. B. To live up to the coach’s expectations. C. To improve the students’ physical and mental health. D. To replace the school’s present physical education classes. 15. What can we learn about the students in the first run? A. Few of them felt energetic. B. Most of them gave up halfway. C. None of them completed the run. D. Not all of them made it to the end. 16. Which word can best describe the morning jogging program? A. Traditional. B. Influential. C. Global. D. Limitless. C According to a landmark study published today in the journal Science, butterfly numbers across the U. S. have dropped by 22% between 2000 and 2020. Researchers analyzed data from 35 monitoring programs tracking 554 species at nearly 2, 500 locations. “This is a wake-up call. People should be seeing this number and being very, very concerned, not just about butterflies, but about the state of insects in general.” says Eliza Grames, a conservation biologist (保护生物学家) at Binghamton University in New York and co-author of the study. The findings show over 100 species lost half their population, including 22 that decreased by 90% or more. Even common butterflies like the West Virginia white were struggling. Decreases were strongest in the Southwest, while the Pacific Northwest showed smaller losses. However, the study might not show the full picture. Scientists only had enough data to study half of U. S. butterfly species. Grames explained that unstudied species might be in worse condition since they are harder to observe. “This isn’t just about butterflies — it’s a warning sign for the overall biodiversity crisis (生物多样性危机),” says Grames. Insect populations worldwide are decreasing 1—2% yearly due to similar threats. Birds and other animals relying on insects for food face growing risks. Many factors lead to butterfly losses including habitat loss, climate change and pesticide (杀虫剂) use. While solving these problems requires big society efforts, each of us can help. Grames says, “Because insects can have one to three generations per year, even small changes to the environment — such as planting native flowers or creating habitats — can ensure a pretty immediate increase in population.” Of course, participating in butterfly monitoring programs in community is another way to make a difference. “I think butterflies do have the ability to recover fast, if we put the effort into conservation actions.” says Grames. 17. What does the text suggest about unstudied butterfly species? A They are less influenced by pesticides. B. Their situations might be more serious. C. Current monitoring programs are ineffective. D. Butterflies are harder to track than other insects. 18. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Pesticides are the primary threat. B. Habitat loss drives butterfly decrease. C. Global solutions outweigh individual actions. D. Ordinary people can improve butterfly populations. 19. What is Dr. Grames’ attitude toward butterfly protection efforts? A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Uninterested. 20. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Plant Native Flowers to Help Insects B. Southwest Butterflies Disappear Fastest C. Butterfly Monitoring Programs May Help D.
