(2025·保定模拟)Since Cynthia Florio was a lifeguard at Tobay Beach in the 1990s, she has watched the ocean approach the shore and draw closer to the dunes (沙丘).It's what forced Florio, 53, of Massapequa, to take part in the Town of Oyster Bay's annual dune grass planting event on March 30 — an effort to help stabilize the beach dunes against shoreline erosion (侵蚀).
Along with other volunteers, Florio had spent hours with her daughter, Kyra Florio-Marinello, 15, and her daughter's friend Tatum Brennan, 15, planting the native plants that were intended to absorb water and prepare the sand against heavy wind.But four days later, a storm on Wednesday hit Long Island and washed the new plants away.“The latest dune planting event drew more than 150 volunteers who planted a lot across 2.7 acres of Atlantic Ocean sand dunes,” said Marta Kane, an Oyster Bay spokeswoman.“The dune grass cost the town $32,000.”
The event, centered on volunteerism, drew some families whose elders were looking to share a message with a younger generation about the importance of protecting the environment.While the outcome resulted in a wave of disappointment, for some volunteers that was coupled with a sense of renewed motivation.Maria Rizzi, 70, of Massapequa, participated in the planting session with her grandson, Andrew Lepsis, 10.She said she would go back for another event with even more family members.“I'd be willing to do it again,” she said.“I'd even talk the older grand kids into coming.”
While the storm swept the new plants away, Florio said Tobay Beach's appearance aftermath serves as a powerful reminder of the need for more volunteer work on that stretch of sand.“Maybe it will inspire more people to volunteer and understand the need for us to protect our beaches,” Florio said.

(2025·江西重点中学联考) Inside a large room at the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), tens of thousands of seeds are stored at a constant temperature of -20 ℃.Some of them may hold keys to helping us face the future.
“Our center holds as many as 120,000 varieties of seeds.Many of them come from crops as old as agriculture itself.Other seeds were selected by researchers who've hiked in the past four decades through forests and mountains in the Middle East, Asia and North Africa, searching for wild relatives of wheat, rice, legumes (豆科植物) and other crops that are important to the human diet,” says Mariana Yazbek, who manages the research center.
The research center, formed in the 1970s, once mostly helped farmers in poorer countries in hot and dry climates.But now it also sends seeds to scientists in Europe, Canada and the United States, to improve certain crops' resistance to the effects of climate change.
“What we are collecting is a sample of the diversity that we have in nature,” adds Yazbek.“We save seeds in case extreme droughts, floods or other catastrophic events should wipe out plant species.These wild relatives of crops have witnessed so many different climates.The qualities that help them adapt and survive in these conditions are stored in their DNA.We have this diversity and it can be a tool to help us face the future.”
Yazbek says scientists are particularly interested in crops like the legume because it absorbs a lot of greenhouse gas CO2 from the atmosphere.It also releases N into the soil, meaning the farmers have to use less chemical fertilizer.And the legume takes very little water to grow because it produces sugar alcohols that act as humectants, a substance that attracts and absorbs water and saves the plant from freezing or drying out.
In another case, a wild wheat seed collected in Iran has allowed scientists in the US to develop new wheat varieties resistant to the Hessian fly, a harmful insect that causes tens of millions of dollars in damage to American crops every year.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了国际干旱地区农业研究中心(ICARDA)成立的时间、主要业务、工作区域等,并介绍了它对世界农业发展所起的重要作用。

B.It just helps the undeveloped countries.
C.It used to develop seeds for rich countries.

解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中Mariana Yazbek 说的话可知,ICARDA致力于收集古老和野生的种子。
6.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “catastrophic” in paragraph 4?
A.Important. B.Wasteful.
C.Terrible. D.Unforgettable.

7.What can be inferred about the legume?
A.It will grow much better in wet areas.
B.It is friendly to the environment and soil.
C.It will become the main crop for humans.
D.It has difficulty in adapting to cold climate.

A.Seeds Stored at ICARDA May Help Us Improve Our Crops
B.A New Invaluable Seed Bank Is Constructed at ICARDA
C.Scientists Have Made Breakthroughs in Ancient Seed Study
D.New Seeds Are Successfully Developed for North America
解析:选A 标题归纳题。通读全文特别是第一段和第三段可知,储存在ICARDA的种子可以改善农作物的基因,提高作物对气候变化影响的抵抗力,故A项“储存在ICARDA的种子可以帮助改善我们的作物”适合作文章标题。

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2025· 雅安联考)Hiking in the wild is one of Ehlers' favorite hobbies. And he had a single goal: to hike in the hills of west-central Iowa, which is the best wild place for people who love hiking in the wild. Although it's about 250 miles from the hills of west-central Iowa to Ehlers' home in Minnesota, he still put into practice with his friends.
During a long trip home, following a weekend of hiking, Ehlers thought about the small brown dog he had seen trembling alongside the road. At the time, he stopped the car and tried to coax (哄劝) the dog to him but, frightened, it ran off. It immediately disappeared without a trace.
Back home, Ehlers was troubled by that lost dog, which drove him to make up his mind to find that dog. So, four days later, he called his friend Greg, and the two drove back.
Arriving at that place, they came across a local farmer and asked him, “Have you seen a lost dog? We had seen the dog trembling alongside the road four days ago.” Meanwhile, Greg described the dog's appearance to him.
“The dog sounded like one advertised as lost in the local paper. The ad had a phone number for a town in southern Minnesota and the dog's picture,” the local farmer told them.
Ehlers and Greg were excited to know that the dog's owners were Jeff and Lisa. So they called Jeff and Lisa to tell them they were finding their dog. Hearing that, Jeff was surprised and said, “We had hiked in Iowa before Thanksgiving with our dog, Rosie, but a fierce dog came out of nowhere and scared Rosie off. We searched in vain for Rosie in the next four days. So we drove back home.”
“We are also driving there now, and it will take about two hours to arrive in Iowa. Tell me exactly where you are. Let's search Rosie together,” Jeff said. “OK. We will wait for you while looking for Rosie,” Ehlers replied.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
After nearly two hours' careful search, an amazing thing happened.
Ehlers called Jeff and Lisa again and waited for their arrival.
参考范文:
After nearly two hours' careful search, an amazing thing happened. Greg saw, across a field, the dog moving cautiously away. Upon seeing that, Ehlers' face turned red, with excitement in the heart, as a deer jumping with joy. Obviously, it was full of nervousness and fear. Ehlers and Greg tried their best to coax Rosie and made it calm down. Eventually they succeeded in coaxing the animal to them. Its nervousness and fear were replaced with joy. It just started touching Ehlers' face, which made him in a good mood at the moment.
Ehlers called Jeff and Lisa again and waited for their arrival. During that time, Ehlers and Greg played with Rosie. Just 25 minutes later, Jeff and Lisa arrived. Seeing them, Rosie barked and ran to them. They hugged Rosie with excitement. Touched deeply, Jeff and Lisa could never say thank you enough. And then they returned to Minnesota and became best friends. “It's good to know there's still someone out there who cares enough to go to that kind of trouble,” says Lisa of Ehlers' rescue effort. “I figured whoever lost the dog was probably just as close to it as I am to my dogs,” says Ehlers. “If it had been my dog, I'd hope that somebody would be willing to go that extra mile.”
