一、关系副词引导的定语从句
关系副词
先行词类型
在从句中作用
可替换的关系代词结构
例句
语法要点
when
表示时间的名词(如 time, day, year, moment 等)
作时间状语(指代先行词表示的时间)
介词+which(如 at which, in which)
1. I still remember the day when I first met her.(我还记得第一次见到她的那天。)
2. This is the moment when we should take action.(这是我们应该采取行动的时刻。)
-先行词必须是具体时间概念,不可用于指代抽象 “时间”(如 “时光” 需用其他表达)。
-从句谓语通常是延续性动词或表状态的动词(如 meet, take action)。
where
表示地点的名词(如 place, city, country, house 等)
作地点状语(指代先行词表示的地点)
介词+which(如 in which, at which)
1. This is the village where I grew up.(这是我长大的村庄。)
2. He showed me the library where he found the rare book.(他带我看了他找到那本珍本书的图书馆。)
-先行词除具体地点外,还可指抽象 “场所”(如 situation, case, point 等,意为 “在这种情况下”)。
例:We’ve reached a point where we need to make a decision.(我们到了需要做决定的时刻。)
why
表示原因的名词(仅 reason)
作原因状语(指代先行词 reason)
for which
1. Do you know the reason why he refused the invitation?(你知道他拒绝邀请的原因吗?)
2. That’s the reason why I left early.(那就是我提前离开的原因。)
-先行词只能是 “reason”,不可用于其他表原因的名词。
-若 reason 在从句中作主语或宾语,需用 that/which(如 The reason that he gave is not true. 他给出的理由不真实。)
1. 补充说明:
2. 关系副词的本质:
关系副词本质上是 “介词+关系代词” 的简化形式(如 when = in/at which,where = in/at which,why = for which),但使用时更强调 “状语功能”,避免句子冗余。
1. 与关系代词的区别:
关系代词(that, which, who 等)在从句中作主语或宾语;关系副词在从句中作状语(时间、地点、原因),从句主谓结构完整(不缺主语/宾语)。
例:
· 正确(关系副词,作状语):This is the house where he lives.(从句 “he lives” 主谓完整,缺地点状语)
· 正确(关系代词,作宾语):This is the house that he bought.(从句 “he bought” 缺宾语,that 指代 house)
省略情况:
关系副词一般不可省略(若省略会导致从句逻辑不完整),而关系代词在从句中作宾语时可省略。
例:He told me the year (that) he was born.(that 作宾语,可省略)
但不可说:He told me the year he was born.(需用 when,否则缺时间状语)

(2025高一·全国·专题练习)Years ago, I lived in the English midlands and would walk the same route along the local canal each evening. On winter mornings, I would see the 1 sight of bird flocks dancing across the landscape, a distant cacophony (刺耳的嘈杂声) 2 above the fields. They were jackdaws (寒鸦), the smallest member of the crow family.
Research led by Masters student Alex Dibnah asked: Why are jackdaws so loud when they 3 ? Then he began to work with a team. The team’s 4 was that the morning calls might be a jackdaw version of “ 5 ”. Each individual’s call might 6 as an “I’m in!”, helping them coordinate (协调) their 7 .
To test this, the researchers artificially 8 call levels during the jackdaws’ morning cacophony using speakers at their sleeping sites. When extra calls were played, the jackdaws 9 earlier, showing they use calls as a voting system.
Individual jackdaws 10 from leaving with the flock because they get more social information like where to find food. They can also maximize their time spent finding food and they’re less 11 predation (捕食). This sort of decision-making isn’t 12 to jackdaws — it’s been reported in other species as well.
So, the cacophony of jackdaws in the morning is a clever way to 13 a large group. If you’re 14 by the noise, find comfort in the fact that the louder they get, the sooner they’ll leave you in 15 .

Passage 1
(2025高二·全国·专题练习)Despite the bad reputation of sharks, they are crucial to the health of the marine ecosystem and can even help fight climate change.
In the shallows of Shark Bay, Western Australia, seagrass is food for the sea cows, which can weigh as much as 500kg and eat roughly 40kg of seagrass a day. Sea cows are a rich source of food for tiger sharks. By keeping the sea cow population in check, tiger sharks here help the seagrass meadows thrive. A flourishing seagrass meadow stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests typically do on land.
But tiger shark numbers are declining. Off Australia’s northeast coast of Queensland, tiger sharks are estimated to have fallen by at least 71 percent, largely due to overfishing. A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass consumed by herbivores (食草动物) and less carbon stored in sea vegetation. This begged the question: What if they were absent from the Shark Bay — would the seagrass-dominated ecosystem survive?
To find out, researchers led by Rob Nowicki of Florida International University, spent time in Eastern Australia, where shark numbers were lower and sea cows ate seagrass largely undisturbed. “When unchecked, sea cows can rapidly destroy wide areas of seagrass,” said Nowicki. “When the seagrass recovers, the seagrass community looks different, with more tropical species dominating than before.”
Those findings underlined the role that tiger sharks were playing in Shark Bay. If their populations continue to decline, the resilience of carbon-rich ocean ecosystems will likely decrease.
When it comes to boosting shark numbers, there have been movements toward more sustainable fishing, but a large percentage of the industry have not changed their methods, which is a reason why the population of many marine top predators continues to decline.
Aside from supporting sustainable fishing, Nowicki said the only way to truly protect marine life is to reduce our global greenhouse gas emissions. “Ultimately, if we are going to conserve our ecosystems in the centuries to come, we are going to need to solve climate change while undertaking species conservation at the same time.”
1.Why are tiger sharks vital to the marine ecosystem?
A.They feed on various sea animals.
B.They can store large amounts of CO2.
C.They can prevent the loss of seagrass.
D.They influence marine species distribution.
2.What did Rob Nowicki’s team want to find out in Eastern Australia?
A.How sea cows destroy the seagrass community.
B.How shark population influences the ocean ecosystem.
C.What was contributing to the declining number of tiger sharks.
D.What to do to recover the seagrass-dominated ecosystem.
3.What is the main reason for the population reduction of many top predators in marine ecosystems?
A.Climate change.
B.Water pollution.
C.Loss of seagrass.
D.Unsustainable fishing practices.
4.What is the ultimate way to protect sharks, according to Nowicki?
A.Regulating fishing activities.
B.Solving ocean pollution problems.
C.Establishing natural reserves.
D.Reducing our carbon footprint.
Passage 2
(吉林地区普通高中友好学校联合体2024-2025学年高二下学期期末英语试卷)From time to time, Ding Peng makes his way across the waves to Zhongtiedun, an island in Zhejiang Province. He has made a point of coming back to visit it to greet and observe the Chinese crested terns (中华凤头燕鸥) over the past ten years.
The medium-sized bird is 30-40 centimeters long, with gray wings and a white body. It was first discovered in Indonesia by Heinrich Bernstein in 1861. It has since been sighted only in small numbers around the world. The birds were spotted in 1937 on islands around Qingdao, Shandong Province, and it was not until 2000 that a bird photographer spotted them on the Matsu Islands off the coast of Fujian Province, which immediately caused a storm in international ornithology (鸟类学) circles for researchers assumed that the birds had already died out.
Born in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, Ding grew up seeing barren (贫瘠的) mountains and sandstorms, and had an awareness of environmental protection at an early age. That was why, after graduating from university in 2012, he readily took a job offer from the Jiushan Islands National Nature Reserve in Zhejiang. “I love the sea and my major could be of some use in protecting it,” he says.
Looking back at his life on the islands, Ding admits that it was very tough. There was no electricity to charge mobile phones and no air conditioner during the hot summer, and drinking water was sent in by supply ships. The worst was the loneliness, though things took a turn for the better in 2017, when more volunteers came to join the bird protection team.
Ding’s contributions were recognized by the local authorities of Ningbo this year, who named him one of the city’s “most beautiful people”. “Everything was worth it, now that more people are aware of the importance of protecting the birds, and now that the number of the birds is on the rise,” Ding says.
1.Why did the researchers feel surprised when the Chinese crested terns were found in 2000?
A.They were spotted by a photographer instead of them.
B.The event made them ashamed.
C.They were unable to catch them.
D.They thought the birds were extinct.
2.What was the main reason why Ding decided to take the job offer?
A.His life experience in his hometown. B.His major.
C.A good salary. D.The beautiful scenery.
3.How was Ding’s life on the islands?
A.Adventurous. B.Enjoyable. C.Difficult. D.Inspiring.
4.What does Ding think of his team’s work?
A.It’s fruitful. B.It’s perfect. C.It’s regrettable. D.It’s pointless.
Passage 3
(内蒙古自治区包头市2024-2025学年高一下学期7月期末英语试题)Here are four of the most famous buildings from around the world. When you are going to travel, you know exactly where to go!
The Lloyd’s Building
The Lloyd’s Building lies in London and is Richard Rogers’ first high-tech office block. It has won many awards because of its attractive inside-out design—all its services like elevators are provided outside the building. It is said by Historic England to be “widely recognized as one of the key buildings of the modem age.”
One World Trade Center
One World Trade Center is in the United States, which reaches a total height of 1,776 feet. The building has 94 stories above ground, and 5 stories underground. There are 86 usable above-ground floors, of which 78 are used for office purposes. What’s more, the building has 73 elevators in total and all that’s needed to travel to the upper floors of the building is a ride within only 60 seconds.
Petronas Towers
The Petronas Towers lies in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which has a height of 1,483 feet. The 88-floor towers are characterized by a two-story skybridge connecting the two towers on the 41st and 42nd floors. The skybridge is 58 meters long and is considered to be the highest two-story skybridge in the world.
The Colosseum
The Colosseum in Rome, Italy is a large amphitheater (圆形剧场) that hosted events like gladiatorial (角斗士的) games. The Colosseum, which can seat 50,000 people, towers four stories high and includes eighty entrances to the amphitheater. It is the largest ancient amphitheater ever built and is still the largest standing amphitheater in the world today.

Passage 4
(内蒙古自治区包头市2024-2025学年高一下学期7月期末英语试题)Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. Many forms of cancers could be cured if discovered early and treated properly. But identifying it is quite an effort. Now a new study may offer an approach.
Researchers in France recently found that insects, including ants, have a powerful sense of smell and can quickly learn to find out cancerous cells (细胞). The researchers experimented with 36 ants of the species Formica fusca. They first trained the ants by placing a sugar solution near the cancerous cells. Half of the ants were taught to recognize one type of cancer, and the rest were taught another. Then the ants were put near the healthy cells and the cancerous cells. It turned out that when the sugar solution was taken away, the ants could still find out the cancerous cells. In the test, the ants moved towards the cancerous cells they learned to discover, even if they had to choose between different cancer varieties.
This isn’t the first time that animals’ sense of smell has been used to identify cancerous cells. Earlier studies have suggested that dogs are good at smelling out cancerous cells. “Ants equal dogs in terms of smelling abilities,” the researchers wrote. “In some regards, ants are better than dogs because they can learn extremely fast — less than 30 minutes for most ants — with a low-cost method that can be achieved by anyone after a couple of days of training, while training a dog to properly smell out cancerous cells requires several months to a year and it also costs much.”
More clinical (临床的) tests must be carried out before they could be used in clinical settings like hospitals. The researchers’ next step will be to further study whether ants could make themselves useful in other real-world situations where dogs are now used. They believe that the method could possibly be adapted to other challenging tasks.
1.What can we learn about the ants in the experiment?
A.They were used for curing cancer.
B.They fed mainly on cancerous cells.
C.They preferred healthy cells to cancerous cells.
D.They could tell different cancerous cell varieties apart.
2.How are ants better than dogs according to the researchers?
A.Ants have a stronger sense of smell. B.Ants have more correct results.
C.Ants are much more cost-effective. D.Ants can be used for longer periods.
3.What will the researchers do next?
A.Explore other possible uses of ants.
B.Experiment with other species of ants.
C.Use ants instead of dogs in real-world situations.
D.Promote the use of ants in hospitals around the world.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.Ants can identify cancerous cells.
B.Cancer is a leading cause of death.
C.Cancer can be cured sooner or later.
D.Ants and dogs have good smelling abilities.
Passage 5
(2025高二·全国·专题练习)No part of the planet is free of plastic waste, and coral reefs are no exception.
A study published in Nature found that not only is every coral reef filled with plastic, but almost three-quarters of the larger items were from “ghost gear” — fishing paraphernalia such as ropes, lines and nets. Food wrappers and plastic bottles were also common. The plastic constitutes an “emerging threat” to reefs, the researchers said.
The study, Plastic Pollution on the World’s Coral Reefs, examined 85 reefs at more than two-dozen locations across the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic. The scientists used special diving equipment to survey in “mesophotic (中光度的)”, or twilight, zones at 30 —150 meters beneath the surface, and discovered the deeper sites had more plastic than shallower ones.
There was more plastic pollution in reefs nearer to densely populated cities and markets, as well as marine protected areas, whose borders are heavily frequented by fishers.
The researchers noted that plastic can spread coral disease, and that fishing lines and nets can damage the structure of reefs and thus harm fish diversity.
“Our findings reveal some of the complex collective challenges we face when dealing with plastic pollution,” said Hudson Pinheiro, the study’s lead author, from the University of Sao Paulo and a research fellow at the academy. “As marine resources around the world dwindle, humans that rely on those resources are turning to deeper habitats and those closer to marine protected areas where fish remain abundant.”
One potential reason for finding more plastic at greater depths could be increased wave action and turbulence (湍流) at the surface, which could drag debris deeper. Other possibilities include recreational divers removing trash from shallower reefs.
The researcher stressed their findings highlight the need to expand the depth of marine protected areas, update international agreements on tackling plastic pollution, and develop low-cost, biodegradable alternatives to current fishing equipment.

Passage 6
(24-25高二下·甘肃白银·期末)Drones, DNA profiling and ultra-sensitive listening devices are being used in conservation efforts safeguarding the UK’s forests as the battle to defeat biodiversity decline and manage climate change goes hi-tech.
Forestry England (FE) is gathering data on the variety of wildlife in some of its 1,500 woodlands at an all-time pace and level of detail. The body is harvesting environmental DNA — genetic material left by organisms in an ecosystem — from soil, water and air samples to build a picture of the range of species across 21 forests.
Results from four months of sampling have revealed more than 5,000 unique species of fungi (真菌) — more than have been found in the last century using traditional sampling methods — alongside 1,000 species of invertebrates (无脊椎动物). The data will create a new biodiversity baseline enabling FE to monitor the success of its conservation work.
Meanwhile, bioacoustic (生物声学的) listening devices have been installed in four wild areas in Somerset, Dorset, North Yorkshire and Northumberland. The technology is being used to track bumblebee activity by listening to the sound of their wings in flight.
Andrew Stringer, FE head of environment and nature recovery, called the fungi data and invertebrates “mind-blowing” and said the new techniques represented a step-change in its biodiversity monitoring work.
“These emerging technologies mean soon we’ll have ‘weather stations for nature’ throughout the nation’s forests, telling us what is happening to nature at a level of detail we’ve never had before,” Stringer added.
FE said, “The work is part of a new approach to forestry in wild spaces, putting landscape-scale nature restoration at the forefront.”
Elsewhere, the Woodland Trust has been using laser scanning technology to create 3D models of some of the UK’s most famous old oaks (橡树). The project builds a digital file of these living tree legends as well as information efforts and helping scientists better understand the carbon capture potential of ancient trees.
1.What is the main advantage of using high-tech equipment in British forests?
A.Identifying illegal logging quickly. B.Tracking animal migration patterns.
C.Creating digital maps of forest landscapes. D.Offering rapid and detailed biodiversity data.
2.What is the purpose of the biodiversity baseline?
A.For entertainment. B.For commercial use.
C.To track conservation progress. D.To educate the next generation.
3.How does Andrew Stringer feel about the new techniques?
A.Critical. B.Excited. C.Cautious. D.Concerned.
4.What can the digital files of the old oaks do?
A.Help future conservation. B.Measure the age of ancient oaks.
C.Record the history of the old trees. D.Monitor the health of ancient trees.
Passage 7
(甘肃省多校2024-2025学年高二下学期期末联考考试英语试卷)Astronauts do a lot to prepare for the many things that can go wrong during space travel. But they can’t be experts in everything. That’s why NASA is testing to see if robots can fill in some of the gaps.
A robot MIRA took an important step in that direction. Scientists succeeded in testing the robot’s ability to perform operations while on the International Space Station (ISS). And what’s more, they controlled the robot remotely from Earth.
The robot was designed by a Lincoln, Nebraska-based company called Virtual Incision. Robots have long been used in surgery, but MIRA is the first miniature version of robotic-assisted surgery technology in development. The company said it’s about 1,000 times lighter than previous technologies, making it ideal for space travel where every pound matters.
The goal of the experiment was to see if and how MIRA’s surgical capabilities would be affected by zero gravity. It attempted to perform a series of surgical tasks on simulated(模拟) human tissue while aboard the ISS, remotely controlled by six researchers in Lincoln, Nebraska. The robot performed a dissection(解剖) task common in surgeries, using its left hand to create tension in the tissue and its right to dissect the tissue with scissors.
Researchers reported that the robot was able to successfully complete the task. As to the question of how zero gravity affects the robot’s surgical skills, they said it would take a few weeks or months before results were sent back to Earth.
One goal of the research is to develop technology that could one day allow doctors to perform surgeries on astronauts remotely from Earth. It could also have a big impact on Earth, helping those who don’t have access to a surgeon get the help they need.
1.What is the function of Paragraph 1?
A.To present a phenomenon. B.To introduce the topic.
C.To comment on the event. D.To arouse the readers’ interest.
2.What can be known about MIRA?
A.Its weight is suitable to travel to space.
B.It has long been used in surgery in space.
C.It has performed a surgery on human issues.
D.It is the first version of robotic-assisted surgery.
3.What is the goal of the research?
A.To reduce the impact of zero gravity on robots.
B.To make space more inhabitable.
C.To allow more doctors accessible in poor areas.
D.To help with health care of astronauts in space.
4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Robots Can Fill in Some of the Gaps
B.Doctors Controlled the Robot Remotely from Earth
C.Scientists Successfully Tested the Robot’s Surgery Skills in Space
D.Robots Took the Place of doctors in Surgeries

一、关系副词引导的定语从句
关系副词
先行词类型
在从句中作用
可替换的关系代词结构
例句
语法要点
when
表示时间的名词(如 time, day, year, moment 等)
作时间状语(指代先行词表示的时间)
介词+which(如 at which, in which)
1. I still remember the day when I first met her.(我还记得第一次见到她的那天。)
2. This is the moment when we should take action.(这是我们应该采取行动的时刻。)
-先行词必须是具体时间概念,不可用于指代抽象 “时间”(如 “时光” 需用其他表达)。
-从句谓语通常是延续性动词或表状态的动词(如 meet, take action)。
where
表示地点的名词(如 place, city, country, house 等)
作地点状语(指代先行词表示的地点)
介词+which(如 in which, at which)
1. This is the village where I grew up.(这是我长大的村庄。)
2. He showed me the library where he found the rare book.(他带我看了他找到那本珍本书的图书馆。)
-先行词除具体地点外,还可指抽象 “场所”(如 situation, case, point 等,意为 “在这种情况下”)。
例:We’ve reached a point where we need to make a decision.(我们到了需要做决定的时刻。)
why
表示原因的名词(仅 reason)
作原因状语(指代先行词 reason)
for which
1. Do you know the reason why he refused the invitation?(你知道他拒绝邀请的原因吗?)
2. That’s the reason why I left early.(那就是我提前离开的原因。)
-先行词只能是 “reason”,不可用于其他表原因的名词。
-若 reason 在从句中作主语或宾语,需用 that/which(如 The reason that he gave is not true. 他给出的理由不真实。)
1. 补充说明:
2. 关系副词的本质:
关系副词本质上是 “介词+关系代词” 的简化形式(如 when = in/at which,where = in/at which,why = for which),但使用时更强调 “状语功能”,避免句子冗余。
1. 与关系代词的区别:
关系代词(that, which, who 等)在从句中作主语或宾语;关系副词在从句中作状语(时间、地点、原因),从句主谓结构完整(不缺主语/宾语)。
例:
· 正确(关系副词,作状语):This is the house where he lives.(从句 “he lives” 主谓完整,缺地点状语)
· 正确(关系代词,作宾语):This is the house that he bought.(从句 “he bought” 缺宾语,that 指代 house)
省略情况:
关系副词一般不可省略(若省略会导致从句逻辑不完整),而关系代词在从句中作宾语时可省略。
例:He told me the year (that) he was born.(that 作宾语,可省略)
但不可说:He told me the year he was born.(需用 when,否则缺时间状语)

题型二 阅读理解
Passage 1
(2025高二·全国·专题练习)Despite the bad reputation of sharks, they are crucial to the health of the marine ecosystem and can even help fight climate change.
In the shallows of Shark Bay, Western Australia, seagrass is food for the sea cows, which can weigh as much as 500kg and eat roughly 40kg of seagrass a day. Sea cows are a rich source of food for tiger sharks. By keeping the sea cow population in check, tiger sharks here help the seagrass meadows thrive. A flourishing seagrass meadow stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests typically do on land.
But tiger shark numbers are declining. Off Australia’s northeast coast of Queensland, tiger sharks are estimated to have fallen by at least 71 percent, largely due to overfishing. A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass consumed by herbivores (食草动物) and less carbon stored in sea vegetation. This begged the question: What if they were absent from the Shark Bay — would the seagrass-dominated ecosystem survive?
To find out, researchers led by Rob Nowicki of Florida International University, spent time in Eastern Australia, where shark numbers were lower and sea cows ate seagrass largely undisturbed. “When unchecked, sea cows can rapidly destroy wide areas of seagrass,” said Nowicki. “When the seagrass recovers, the seagrass community looks different, with more tropical species dominating than before.”
Those findings underlined the role that tiger sharks were playing in Shark Bay. If their populations continue to decline, the resilience of carbon-rich ocean ecosystems will likely decrease.
When it comes to boosting shark numbers, there have been movements toward more sustainable fishing, but a large percentage of the industry have not changed their methods, which is a reason why the population of many marine top predators continues to decline.
Aside from supporting sustainable fishing, Nowicki said the only way to truly protect marine life is to reduce our global greenhouse gas emissions. “Ultimately, if we are going to conserve our ecosystems in the centuries to come, we are going to need to solve climate change while undertaking species conservation at the same time.”
1.Why are tiger sharks vital to the marine ecosystem?
A.They feed on various sea animals.
B.They can store large amounts of CO2.
C.They can prevent the loss of seagrass.
D.They influence marine species distribution.
2.What did Rob Nowicki’s team want to find out in Eastern Australia?
A.How sea cows destroy the seagrass community.
B.How shark population influences the ocean ecosystem.
C.What was contributing to the declining number of tiger sharks.
D.What to do to recover the seagrass-dominated ecosystem.
3.What is the main reason for the population reduction of many top predators in marine ecosystems?
A.Climate change.
B.Water pollution.
C.Loss of seagrass.
D.Unsustainable fishing practices.
4.What is the ultimate way to protect sharks, according to Nowicki?
A.Regulating fishing activities.
B.Solving ocean pollution problems.
C.Establishing natural reserves.
D.Reducing our carbon footprint.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.D 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是鲨鱼(特别是虎鲨)对海洋生态系统健康的重要性,以及它们在应对气候变化方面的潜在作用。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段“Sea cows are a rich source of food for tiger sharks. By keeping the sea cow population in check, tiger sharks here help the seagrass meadows thrive. (海牛是虎鲨丰富的食物来源。通过控制海牛的数量,这里的虎鲨帮助海草草地茁壮成长。)”可知,虎鲨对海洋生态系统至关重要是因为它们可以防止海草的流失。故选C。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段“A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass consumed by herbivores (食草动物) and less carbon stored in sea vegetation. This begged the question: What if they were absent from the Shark Bay — would the seagrass-dominated ecosystem survive? (虎鲨数量的减少意味着食草动物消耗的海草更多,海洋植被中储存的碳更少。这就引出了一个问题:如果鲨鱼湾没有了海草,这个以海草为主的生态系统还能生存吗?)”和第四段“To find out, researchers led by Rob Nowicki of Florida International University, spent time in Eastern Australia, where shark numbers were lower and sea cows ate seagrass largely undisturbed. (为了找到答案,佛罗里达国际大学的Rob Nowicki领导的研究人员在澳大利亚东部呆了一段时间,那里鲨鱼数量较少,海牛吃海草基本上不受干扰。)”可知,Rob Nowicki的团队想在东澳大利亚发现鲨鱼数量如何影响海洋生态系统。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“When it comes to boosting shark numbers, there have been movements toward more sustainable fishing, but a large percentage of the industry have not changed their methods, which is a reason why the population of many marine top predators continues to decline.

Passage 2
(吉林地区普通高中友好学校联合体2024-2025学年高二下学期期末英语试卷)From time to time, Ding Peng makes his way across the waves to Zhongtiedun, an island in Zhejiang Province. He has made a point of coming back to visit it to greet and observe the Chinese crested terns (中华凤头燕鸥) over the past ten years.
The medium-sized bird is 30-40 centimeters long, with gray wings and a white body. It was first discovered in Indonesia by Heinrich Bernstein in 1861. It has since been sighted only in small numbers around the world. The birds were spotted in 1937 on islands around Qingdao, Shandong Province, and it was not until 2000 that a bird photographer spotted them on the Matsu Islands off the coast of Fujian Province, which immediately caused a storm in international ornithology (鸟类学) circles for researchers assumed that the birds had already died out.
Born in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, Ding grew up seeing barren (贫瘠的) mountains and sandstorms, and had an awareness of environmental protection at an early age. That was why, after graduating from university in 2012, he readily took a job offer from the Jiushan Islands National Nature Reserve in Zhejiang. “I love the sea and my major could be of some use in protecting it,” he says.
Looking back at his life on the islands, Ding admits that it was very tough. There was no electricity to charge mobile phones and no air conditioner during the hot summer, and drinking water was sent in by supply ships. The worst was the loneliness, though things took a turn for the better in 2017, when more volunteers came to join the bird protection team.
Ding’s contributions were recognized by the local authorities of Ningbo this year, who named him one of the city’s “most beautiful people”. “Everything was worth it, now that more people are aware of the importance of protecting the birds, and now that the number of the birds is on the rise,” Ding says.
1.Why did the researchers feel surprised when the Chinese crested terns were found in 2000?
A.They were spotted by a photographer instead of them.
B.The event made them ashamed.
C.They were unable to catch them.
D.They thought the birds were extinct.
2.What was the main reason why Ding decided to take the job offer?
A.His life experience in his hometown. B.His major.
C.A good salary. D.The beautiful scenery.
3.How was Ding’s life on the islands?
A.Adventurous. B.Enjoyable. C.Difficult. D.Inspiring.
4.What does Ding think of his team’s work?
A.It’s fruitful. B.It’s perfect. C.It’s regrettable. D.It’s pointless.

Passage 4
(内蒙古自治区包头市2024-2025学年高一下学期7月期末英语试题)Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. Many forms of cancers could be cured if discovered early and treated properly. But identifying it is quite an effort. Now a new study may offer an approach.
Researchers in France recently found that insects, including ants, have a powerful sense of smell and can quickly learn to find out cancerous cells (细胞). The researchers experimented with 36 ants of the species Formica fusca. They first trained the ants by placing a sugar solution near the cancerous cells. Half of the ants were taught to recognize one type of cancer, and the rest were taught another. Then the ants were put near the healthy cells and the cancerous cells. It turned out that when the sugar solution was taken away, the ants could still find out the cancerous cells. In the test, the ants moved towards the cancerous cells they learned to discover, even if they had to choose between different cancer varieties.
This isn’t the first time that animals’ sense of smell has been used to identify cancerous cells. Earlier studies have suggested that dogs are good at smelling out cancerous cells. “Ants equal dogs in terms of smelling abilities,” the researchers wrote. “In some regards, ants are better than dogs because they can learn extremely fast — less than 30 minutes for most ants — with a low-cost method that can be achieved by anyone after a couple of days of training, while training a dog to properly smell out cancerous cells requires several months to a year and it also costs much.”
More clinical (临床的) tests must be carried out before they could be used in clinical settings like hospitals. The researchers’ next step will be to further study whether ants could make themselves useful in other real-world situations where dogs are now used. They believe that the method could possibly be adapted to other challenging tasks.
1.What can we learn about the ants in the experiment?
A.They were used for curing cancer.
B.They fed mainly on cancerous cells.
C.They preferred healthy cells to cancerous cells.
D.They could tell different cancerous cell varieties apart.
2.How are ants better than dogs according to the researchers?
A.Ants have a stronger sense of smell. B.Ants have more correct results.
C.Ants are much more cost-effective. D.Ants can be used for longer periods.
3.What will the researchers do next?
A.Explore other possible uses of ants.
B.Experiment with other species of ants.
C.Use ants instead of dogs in real-world situations.
D.Promote the use of ants in hospitals around the world.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.Ants can identify cancerous cells.
B.Cancer is a leading cause of death.
C.Cancer can be cured sooner or later.
D.Ants and dogs have good smelling abilities.

Passage 5
(2025高二·全国·专题练习)No part of the planet is free of plastic waste, and coral reefs are no exception.
A study published in Nature found that not only is every coral reef filled with plastic, but almost three-quarters of the larger items were from “ghost gear” — fishing paraphernalia such as ropes, lines and nets. Food wrappers and plastic bottles were also common. The plastic constitutes an “emerging threat” to reefs, the researchers said.
The study, Plastic Pollution on the World’s Coral Reefs, examined 85 reefs at more than two-dozen locations across the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic. The scientists used special diving equipment to survey in “mesophotic (中光度的)”, or twilight, zones at 30 —150 meters beneath the surface, and discovered the deeper sites had more plastic than shallower ones.
There was more plastic pollution in reefs nearer to densely populated cities and markets, as well as marine protected areas, whose borders are heavily frequented by fishers.
The researchers noted that plastic can spread coral disease, and that fishing lines and nets can damage the structure of reefs and thus harm fish diversity.
“Our findings reveal some of the complex collective challenges we face when dealing with plastic pollution,” said Hudson Pinheiro, the study’s lead author, from the University of Sao Paulo and a research fellow at the academy. “As marine resources around the world dwindle, humans that rely on those resources are turning to deeper habitats and those closer to marine protected areas where fish remain abundant.”
One potential reason for finding more plastic at greater depths could be increased wave action and turbulence (湍流) at the surface, which could drag debris deeper. Other possibilities include recreational divers removing trash from shallower reefs.
The researcher stressed their findings highlight the need to expand the depth of marine protected areas, update international agreements on tackling plastic pollution, and develop low-cost, biodegradable alternatives to current fishing equipment.
1.What is the primary source of the larger plastic items found in coral reefs?
A.Tourist waste.
B.Industrial pollution.
C.Fishing gear.
D.Diving equipment.
2.What is the main focus of the study?
A.The impact of plastic pollution on marine life.
B.The extent of plastic pollution in coral reefs worldwide.
C.The distribution of plastic waste in different ocean zones.
D.The correlation between plastic pollution and fish diversity.
3.What does the underlined word “dwindle” in paragraph 6 most probably mean?
A.Grow rapidly.
B.Reach their peak.
C.Decrease gradually.
D.Benefit everyone.
4.What do the researchers suggest based on their findings?
A.Banning all fishing activities near coral reefs.
B.Restricting access to coral reefs for recreational divers.
C.Sparing no effort to clean up the plastic in the deep ocean.
D.Redirecting international efforts that address plastic pollution.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.C 4.D

4.细节理解题。根据最后一段“The researcher stressed their findings highlight the need to expand the depth of marine protected areas, update international agreements on tackling plastic pollution, and develop low-cost, biodegradable alternatives to current fishing equipment.(研究人员强调,他们的发现凸显了扩大海洋保护区深度、更新应对塑料污染的国际协议以及开发低成本、可生物降解的替代现有捕鱼设备的必要性)”可知,研究人员基于发现建议重新引导应对塑料污染的国际努力,更新国际协议。故选D项。
Passage 6
(24-25高二下·甘肃白银·期末)Drones, DNA profiling and ultra-sensitive listening devices are being used in conservation efforts safeguarding the UK’s forests as the battle to defeat biodiversity decline and manage climate change goes hi-tech.
Forestry England (FE) is gathering data on the variety of wildlife in some of its 1,500 woodlands at an all-time pace and level of detail. The body is harvesting environmental DNA — genetic material left by organisms in an ecosystem — from soil, water and air samples to build a picture of the range of species across 21 forests.
Results from four months of sampling have revealed more than 5,000 unique species of fungi (真菌) — more than have been found in the last century using traditional sampling methods — alongside 1,000 species of invertebrates (无脊椎动物). The data will create a new biodiversity baseline enabling FE to monitor the success of its conservation work.
Meanwhile, bioacoustic (生物声学的) listening devices have been installed in four wild areas in Somerset, Dorset, North Yorkshire and Northumberland. The technology is being used to track bumblebee activity by listening to the sound of their wings in flight.
Andrew Stringer, FE head of environment and nature recovery, called the fungi data and invertebrates “mind-blowing” and said the new techniques represented a step-change in its biodiversity monitoring work.
“These emerging technologies mean soon we’ll have ‘weather stations for nature’ throughout the nation’s forests, telling us what is happening to nature at a level of detail we’ve never had before,” Stringer added.
FE said, “The work is part of a new approach to forestry in wild spaces, putting landscape-scale nature restoration at the forefront.”
Elsewhere, the Woodland Trust has been using laser scanning technology to create 3D models of some of the UK’s most famous old oaks (橡树). The project builds a digital file of these living tree legends as well as information efforts and helping scientists better understand the carbon capture potential of ancient trees.
1.What is the main advantage of using high-tech equipment in British forests?
A.Identifying illegal logging quickly. B.Tracking animal migration patterns.
C.Creating digital maps of forest landscapes. D.Offering rapid and detailed biodiversity data.
2.What is the purpose of the biodiversity baseline?
A.For entertainment. B.For commercial use.
C.To track conservation progress. D.To educate the next generation.
3.How does Andrew Stringer feel about the new techniques?
A.Critical. B.Excited. C.Cautious. D.Concerned.
4.What can the digital files of the old oaks do?
A.Help future conservation. B.Measure the age of ancient oaks.
C.Record the history of the old trees. D.Monitor the health of ancient trees.

Passage 7
(甘肃省多校2024-2025学年高二下学期期末联考考试英语试卷)Astronauts do a lot to prepare for the many things that can go wrong during space travel. But they can’t be experts in everything. That’s why NASA is testing to see if robots can fill in some of the gaps.
A robot MIRA took an important step in that direction. Scientists succeeded in testing the robot’s ability to perform operations while on the International Space Station (ISS). And what’s more, they controlled the robot remotely from Earth.
The robot was designed by a Lincoln, Nebraska-based company called Virtual Incision. Robots have long been used in surgery, but MIRA is the first miniature version of robotic-assisted surgery technology in development. The company said it’s about 1,000 times lighter than previous technologies, making it ideal for space travel where every pound matters.
The goal of the experiment was to see if and how MIRA’s surgical capabilities would be affected by zero gravity. It attempted to perform a series of surgical tasks on simulated(模拟) human tissue while aboard the ISS, remotely controlled by six researchers in Lincoln, Nebraska. The robot performed a dissection(解剖) task common in surgeries, using its left hand to create tension in the tissue and its right to dissect the tissue with scissors.
Researchers reported that the robot was able to successfully complete the task. As to the question of how zero gravity affects the robot’s surgical skills, they said it would take a few weeks or months before results were sent back to Earth.
One goal of the research is to develop technology that could one day allow doctors to perform surgeries on astronauts remotely from Earth. It could also have a big impact on Earth, helping those who don’t have access to a surgeon get the help they need.
1.What is the function of Paragraph 1?
A.To present a phenomenon. B.To introduce the topic.
C.To comment on the event. D.To arouse the readers’ interest.
2.What can be known about MIRA?
A.Its weight is suitable to travel to space.
B.It has long been used in surgery in space.
C.It has performed a surgery on human issues.
D.It is the first version of robotic-assisted surgery.
3.What is the goal of the research?
A.To reduce the impact of zero gravity on robots.
B.To make space more inhabitable.
C.To allow more doctors accessible in poor areas.
D.To help with health care of astronauts in space.
4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Robots Can Fill in Some of the Gaps
B.Doctors Controlled the Robot Remotely from Earth
C.Scientists Successfully Tested the Robot’s Surgery Skills in Space
D.Robots Took the Place of doctors in Surgeries
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.D 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种机器人MIRA在空间中完成对模拟人体的手术,这个机器人有望填补人类宇航员所无法做的一些空白。
1.推理判断题。根据文章的第一段内容“Astronauts do a lot to prepare for the many things that can go wrong during space travel. But they can’t be experts in everything. That’s why NASA is testing to see if robots can fill in some of the gaps.(宇航员为太空旅行中可能出现的许多问题做了很多准备。但他们不可能在所有的方面都是专家。这就是为什么美国国家航空航天局正在测试机器人是否可以填补一些空白。)”可知,第一段指出宇航员为很多事情做准备,但不可能为所有的事情做好准备,依然可能出错,最后一句提到机器人可以来填补空白,因此推断第一段的目的是导入文章的话题,讲述下文的机器人MIRA。故选B项。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The company said it’s about 1,000 times lighter than previous technologies, making it ideal for space travel where every pound matters.(该公司表示,它比以前的技术轻约1000倍,使得它非常适合太空旅行,太空旅行时每一磅都很重要。)”可知,MIRA和以前的技术相比,重量轻了约1000倍,很适合每一磅都重要的太空旅行。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段第一句话“One goal of the research is to develop technology that could one day allow doctors to perform surgeries on astronauts remotely from Earth.(这项研究的一个目标是开发一种技术,有朝一日可以让医生在地球上远程为宇航员进行手术。)”可知,这个研究的目的之一是为了给空间站宇航员提供医疗保健方面的帮助。故选D项。
4.主旨大意题。根据文章第二段前两句“A robot MIRA took an important step in that direction. Scientists succeeded in testing the robot’s ability to perform operations while on the International Space Station (ISS). (MIRA机器人朝着这个方向迈出了重要的一步。科学家成功测试了机器人在国际空间站(ISS)上做手术的能力。)”以及全文内容可知,本文围绕着填补宇航员工作空白的机器人MIRA展开,第二段指出科学家成功测试了这种机器人在太空做手术的能力,下文各段是对这一事实的详细论述,因此本文的标题也应该基于这一事实。因此推断C项“科学家成功地测试了机器人在太空中的手术技能”为最佳标题。故选C项。
