限时规范练(五)　UNIT 5　Into the wild (限时20分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2025·贵州遵义模拟)While bees have a reputation for doing two things well—pollinating(授粉) flowers and making honey, they rarely receive the credit they deserve for their vital role in keeping a healthy grassland and maintaining a stable climate. A grassland is one type of ecosystem where bees play multiple important roles. These often­ignored habitats are composed not just of grasses but of a broad community of wildflower species. Without the help of bees, flowering plants would no longer be able to reproduce at the same rate, eventually dying out, and we'd lose these species­rich ecosystems. This would be a big problem for our planet because unlike the grasses that grow in your local park, native grassland plants have very deep roots that reach 15 feet or more into the soil. While a forest stores the majority of its carbon above ground in trees' trunks and branches, most grassland carbon is safely held below ground within these roots. Unlike forests, which lose most of their carbon once their trunks have burned, the carbon within a healthy grassland remains beyond the reach of fire, providing a second line of defense against a changing climate. A bee's impact below the soil line doesn't end with carbon storage. Many bees nest within the soil. These gatherings may include thousands of individual bees, whose nests may go many feet into the soil, providing air and opportunities for water conservation. Where they are found, bees play a significant role in ensuring that soils remain healthy. Sam Droege, a famous wildlife biologist, states that bees will go wherever they are called to—the flowers, plants, and grasslands acting as a homing signal guiding them forth. “They will travel impressive distances to feed on specific species of flowering plants，” says Droege. “We've seen that even if the climate changes, the bees will still follow where the plants grow.” 1．Why are bees crucial to a grassland ecosystem? A．They provide honey for wild species. B．They can protect grasses from dying out. C．They change the stability of the climate. D．They help flowering plants' reproduction. 2．Where is most grassland carbon stored? A．In the trunks of the trees. B．In the roots of the plants. C．In the surface of the soil. D．In the flowers above ground. 3．What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A．Where bees can be found. B．Why bees nest underground. C．How bees help soils stay healthy. D．Whether bees conserve water. 4．What can be inferred from Sam Droege's words? A．Bees are naturally attracted by plants. B．It is difficult for bees to find enough to eat. C．People can guide bees to read certain signals. D．Bees' behaviors change with global warming. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了蜜蜂在维护草原健康和维持气候稳定方面发挥的至关重要的作用。 1．D　[解析]细节理解题。根据第二段“Without the help of bees, flowering plants would ...lose these species­rich ecosystems.”可知，蜜蜂对草原生态系统至关重要是因为它们帮助开花植物繁殖。故选D。 2．B　[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的“While a forest stores the majority of its carbon ...below ground within these roots.”可知，草地碳储存在植物根部。故选B。 3．C　[解析]主旨大意题。根据第四段内容可知，该段主要描述了蜜蜂如何帮助土壤保持健康。故选C。 4．A　[解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段中Sam Droege的话可知，蜜蜂天生会被植物吸引。故选A。 Ⅱ.完形填空 Nicholas Bostic works as a pizza maker.He was on his way to get gas one night when he saw __1__ leaping from a house.He turned his car around and pulled into the driveway.Then he __2__ he'd left his phone at home and couldn't dial 911.
