[对应学生用书P465] (限时：35分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·湖北武汉质量调研)To Karanth，everyone in every part of the world is born with a fundamental connection to nature.Growing up in Karnataka，she began accompanying her father into the wild at just two years old.But in her hometown，kids grew up with a negative perspective on wildlife.Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed.Karanth discovered kids wouldn't appreciate the fact that it's the best place to witness extraordinary animals. In 2017，a conversation with her friend Gabby shifted her mindset towards education.Within half a year，Karanth and Gabby had the first version of “Wild Shaale” on their hands.A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife，Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation and environmental issues.The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning. While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government，Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it's delivered effectively and consistently.“You have to visualize what these schools look like.They may not have electricity—forget having computers，internet，iPads，or anything.” Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions and hopefully，behaviors.“It comes down to the same things: we need food; we need water; we need space.Then they start to understand why situations of conflict arise，” Karanth says.“But then how do you convince them not to get angry，not to act in a way that leads to harm? That's something we're trying to work on.It's not easy.” [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了卡兰斯通过建立Wild Shaale项目来改变学生对野生动物的看法。 1．What problem might Karanth's hometown have faced? A．Human­wildlife conflict.

As is reported，the extreme drought in Ethiopia in 2016 caused widespread crop failure and resulted in nearly 10 million people requiring food aid.Similarly，in the U．S.，2021 brought Hurricane Ida to the Gulf Coast，resulting in the deaths of an estimated 91 people.When the storm faded，extreme heat followed，which was particularly dangerous given many had lost their homes or electricity in the hurricane.Widespread power failures left people with limited access to essentials. The challenge of feeding more people using the current food systems poses a threat to biodiversity.For example，overfishing，which involves non­sustainable practices that decrease or endanger species，can result in biodiversity loss.On the contrary，“the more variety of crops grown in one farming system，the more adaptable that system is”，Mary Purdy，an integrative eco­dietitian，says，“the less biodiversity you have in an ecosystem，the more impressionable it is to pests，crop failure and soil degradation(退化).” As more ecosystems and species become threatened，biodiversity will continue to decrease，which will impact the entire food chain.Each organism and species plays a role in the food chain; altering that chain will have a domino effect(多米诺效应)，which could impact human health in numerous ways，such as altering typical eating habits based on availability and in some cases resulting in nutrition insecurity，reducing the gut microbiome and impacting the availability of some medicinal resources. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了环境因素，特别是气候变化对人类健康的影响，以及如何通过可持续营养和保护生物多样性来应对这些挑战。 5．What does the underlined word “strain” probably mean in paragraph 2? A．Stress. B．Chance. C．Benefit. D．Strength. 解析　A　词句猜测题。根据第二段“The growing population will put a greater strain on the ecosystem and resources，further contributing to climate change，which is observed through increased temperatures，rising sea levels and severe weather patterns.”可知，气候变化、海平面上升等事件都会对生态系统造成压力，其中“strain”一词指的是对生态系统和资源的“压力”。故选A。 6．How does the author support the theme of paragraph 3? A．By asking and analyzing questions. B．By making comparisons. C．By offering some examples. D．By analyzing reasons and causes. 解析　C　推理判断题。第三段提到了“As is reported，the extreme drought in Ethiopia in 2016 caused widespread crop failure and resulted in nearly 10 million people requiring food aid.”，以及“Similarly，in the U．S.，2021 brought Hurricane Ida to the Gulf Coast，resulting in the deaths of an estimated 91 people.”。这些例子展示了极端天气事件对人类健康和生态系统的影响，说明这一段是通过举例子的方法来展开要点的。故选C。 7．What can we infer from Purdy's words? A．Human nutrition needs varieties. B．Biodiversity is linked to human health. C．Sci­technology affects grain production. D．The growing population harms the ecosystem. 解析　B　推理判断题。根据第四段“the more variety of crops grown in one farming system，the more adaptable that system is”，我们可以推断出生物多样性与人类健康之间的联系；再根据下文“the less biodiversity you have in an ecosystem，the more impressionable it is to pests，crop failure and soil degradation”可知，生物多样性的增加可以提高农业系统的适应性，从而对人类健康产生积极的影响。故选B。 8．What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A．The environment affects human health. B．Climate change matters in human health. C．Food systems play a role in climate change. D．The future of food systems lies in individual action. 解析　A　推理判断题。根据最后一段“As more ecosystems and species become threatened，biodiversity will continue to decrease，which will impact the entire food chain.”可知，生态系统和生物多样性的变化，也就是周边环境的变化，最终将影响到人类的健康。即“the environment affects human health”。故选A。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2025·八省联考)I liked to go and watch the sunset at my local park，which was a seaside area in Karachi.There，I would always see the same elderly lady 1 the pigeons (鸽子).The birds，usually around 10 to 15 in 2 ，would gather around her before she even had a 3 to take the bag of rice out from her handbag.It was the same each day，part of her 4 ． I found that 5 her perform this ordinary task with such 6 was both calming and beautiful.
