His deed began in 1995 when he noticed the birds' declining population in the wilds of Lapland, Sweden.To prevent their numbers from dropping further, Moullec tried to get the threatened species to follow him along migration routes that would protect them from bird hunters. However, getting grown geese to follow his lead proved challenging.As young geese imitated and followed whomever they viewed as their parent, Moullec decided to raise the geese from birth. To help raise funds and heighten awareness of his job to protect not just the geese but birds worldwide, Moullec often allows paying tourists to join him on the 30-minute-long flights.In addition to the trained birds flying alongside them, visitors, who come from as far as a 15-hour plane flight away, are treated to a variety of crane and goose species as well as breathtaking views of castles and cities. He often brings his camera along for the flights, capturing photos not just for their beauty, but for what they describe.Moullec believes the use of agricultural chemicals has done harm to wild European birds, with more than a third disappearing in the last 30 years.“It's a disaster，” he said.“My beautiful images with flying birds should be used to tell this story.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了法国的“鸟人”驾驶轻型飞机引领小白额雁沿着安全的飞行路径迁徙，他还带着游客一起体验这样的旅行，目的是让人们意识到人类活动对鸟类生存产生了巨大的影响，使鸟类数量锐减，希望人们共同保护鸟类。 24．Why does“Birdman” always fly to the sky on his aircraft? A．To observe geese along their migration routes. B．To follow geese through safe migration paths. C．To take visitors to operate his adapted aircraft. D．To make geese fly safely during the migration. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...but to guide flocks of lesser white-fronted geese through safe migration paths which the birds can teach future generations.”可知， “鸟人”是为了引领小白额雁安全迁徙，故D 项正确。 25．What do we know about“Birdman”？ A．He is a nature lover. B．He is a bird hunter. C．He is a bird watcher. D．He is a volunteer pilot. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，“鸟人”驾驶轻型飞机引领小白额雁沿着安全的飞行路径迁徙，他还带着游客一起体验这样的旅行，目的是希望人们共同来保护鸟类。由此可知，“鸟人”是一个热爱大自然的人，故A 项正确。 26．What does Moullec often take photos on his flights for? A．Recording the use of agricultural chemicals. B．Showing serious damage caused by using agricultural chemicals. C．Describing his experiences with flying birds. D．Capturing the beautiful views of birds and cities. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中的“He often brings his camera along for the flights, capturing photos not just for their beauty, but for what they describe.”可知， “鸟人”拍照是为了呈现这些照片反映的问题，也就是后面提到的农药的使用加速了鸟类数量的减少，故B项正确。 27．What can be a suitable title for the text？　 A．Birdman Leads Lesser White-Fronted Geese to Learn to Fly B．Birdman Finds Birds Disappearing C．Birdman Helps Geese Safely Migrate D．Birdman Protects Birds from Hunters 答案：C 解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“However, the 58-year-old Frenchman's daily 30-minute flight is not just to enjoy the impressive views, but to guide flocks of lesser white-fronted geese through safe migration paths which the birds can teach future generations.”可知，本文主要讲述了“鸟人”驾驶轻型飞机飞行不是为了欣赏美景，而是为了引领小白额雁沿着安全的飞行路径迁徙，故C项正确。 C (2024·安徽省无为襄安中学高二上期中) The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means.Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago，but it has brought new problems.One of the biggest problems is pollution.To pollute means to make things dirty.Pollution comes in many ways.We see it，smell it，drink it and even hear it． Man has been polluting the earth.The more people，the more pollution.Many years ago，the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people.When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place，man moved to another place.But this is no longer true.Man is now slowly polluting the whole world. Air pollution is still the most serious.It's bad for all living things in the world，but it is not the only one kind of pollution.Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water.Noise pollution makes us angry more easily. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city，and from putting dirty smoke into the air.Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution.It is caused by heavy traffic.We are sure that if there are fewer people driving，there will be less air pollution. The earth is our home.We must take care of it.That means keeping the land，water and air clean.And we must care about the rise in pollution at the same time. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了现代交通和通信手段使世界变得更加紧密，但也带来了污染问题。污染的形式多种多样，包括空气、水和噪音污染。因此文章呼吁人们保护地球，保持土地、水和空气的清洁。 28．Why is our world becoming much smaller? A．Thanks to the development of science. B．Because of the rise in pollution. C．Because the earth is being polluted day and night. D．Because the earth is blown away by the wind every year. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means.”可知，现代交通以及通信手段等科学技术的发展缩短了人们之间的距离，让世界变小了。故选A。 29．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Rubbish. B．Water pollution. C．Air pollution. D．Noise pollution. 答案：D 解析：代词指代题。根据画线词前面的内容“To pollute means to make things dirty.Pollution comes in many ways.We see it，smell it，drink it”可知，污染的形式多样，我们看到它、闻到它、喝它，其中能听见的污染源，应该与声音有关，故是噪声污染。故选D。 30．Why is air pollution called the most serious kind of pollution? A．Because it's bad for all living things in the world. B．Because it makes much noise. C．Because it has made our rivers and lakes dirty. D．Because it makes us become angry more easily. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Air pollution is still the most serious.It's bad for all living things in the world，but it is not the only one kind of pollution.”可知，空气污染被认为是最严重的污染形式是因为它对世界的所有生物都有害。故选A。 31．Which of the following is NOT true?

This symbolic species，which is the only stork native to North America，has rebounded because dedicated partners in the southeast have worked tirelessly to restore ecosystems that support it.In addition，the wood stork has increased its range in coastal areas.The birds have adapted to new nesting areas，tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years. Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act (ESA)，which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are located，such as development，mining and oil drilling.The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast，which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.The Endangered Species Act has saved 99%of the species that have been on the list since 1973，with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable. The U．S.Fish and Wildlife Service said that restoration of the wood stork's habitat，especially in the Florida Everglades and adjacent Big Cypress National Preserve，led to a sharp increase in breeding pairs.Those numbers had shrunk to just 5，000 pairs in 1984，whereas there are more than 10，000 pairs today. “The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable achievement of the hard work by federal agencies，state and local governments，tribes，conservation organizations，and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species，” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said. If the wood stork is delisted，officials said it would remain protected by other laws including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Clean Water Act.A monitoring plan would be put in place for at least five years to ensure the stork population remains stable. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述在各方的努力以及《濒危物种法》的颁布下，濒危物种林鹳的数量呈上升趋势，所以官员们建议将林鹳从濒危物种的名单中移除。 32．What can be inferred about the wood stork from the text? A．It is widely distributed worldwide. B．It is the most endangered species. C．Its population shows a rising trend. D．It is becoming completely extinct. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“The birds have adapted to new nesting areas，tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.”以及倒数第三段“ Those numbers had shrunk to just 5，000 pairs in 1984，whereas there are more than 10，000 pairs today.”可知，由于保护得当，林鹳的数量呈上涨的趋势。故选C。 33．What contribute mostly to recovering the population of the wood stork? A．Safeguards of the ESA. B．Federal agencies. C．Conservation organizations. D．Local tribes. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句可知，ESA的保障措施对恢复林鹳种群起到了主要作用。故选A。 34．What is Deb Haaland's attitude to the delisting of the wood stork? A．Unclear. B．Positive. C．Indifferent. D．Concerned. 答案：B 解析：观点态度题。根据倒数第二段Deb Haaland所说的“The proposed delisting of the wood stork...restoring our most at-risk species”可知，Deb Haaland对林鹳从濒危物种的名单中移除持积极态度。故选B。 35．What is the best title of the text? A．Effect of the Endangered Species Act counts B．Protection of American native species works C．Efforts to restore the wildlife habitat pays off D．Saving of the endangered wood stork progresses 答案：D 解析：标题归纳题。本文主要讲述在各方的努力以及《濒危物种法》的颁布下，濒危物种林鹳的数量呈上升趋势，所以官员们建议将林鹳从濒危物种的名单中移除，并且在移除之后还要继续对它们的数量进行进一步的监测。所以“拯救濒危林鹳的工作取得进展”适合作本文的标题。故选D。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (2024·福建省福州市高二上期中) Despite being one of the most famous and frequented attractions in the United States， 36 Here are a few facts about the Grand Canyon you probably don't know. We don't really know how old it is It has long been believed that the Colorado River began carving the Grand Canyon about 6 million years ago， 37 It suggests that the process may have begun as far back as 70 million years.In all likelihood，the Grand Canyon as we know it today started out as a series of smaller canyons 70 million years ago，but the majority of the canyon did not begin to take shape until much more recently. 38 Of all Grand Canyon facts，this one is pretty cool—no wordplay intended.Sudden changes in altitude have an enormous impact on temperature and rainfall，so the weather you are experiencing could differ dramatically，depending on where you are in the Grand Canyon.The coldest，wettest weather station in the region is the Bright Angel Ranger Station on the North Rim，while the hottest (and one of the driest) is just 8 miles away at Phantom Ranch. There are lots of fossils in the area While the dinosaur might have missed out on seeing the Grand Canyon，lots of other fossils have been found. 39 They vary from ancient marine fossils dating back 1.2 billion years to fairly recent land mammals that left their remains in canyon caves about 10，000 years ago. Fish are relatively uncommon in the area Prior to modern flood control measures，the Colorado River provided a uniquely difficult habitat for fish，with heavy mud with small rocks，frequent floods，and temperatures ranging from extreme heat in summer to sub-freezing in winter.Consequently，only eight fish species are native to the Grand Canyon， 40 A．but a 2012 study contained a real shocker. B．and many other species are found outside this area. C．and six of them are found nowhere outside of the Colorado River. D．The weather in the Grand Canyon is really cool. E．This indicates that other creatures frequented the location. F．The Grand Canyon creates its own weather. G．Grand Canyon National Park still holds some surprises. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍美国大峡谷的一些鲜为人知的真相。 36．答案：G 解析：根据上文“Despite being one of the most famous and frequented attractions in the United States”可知，设空处应指的是美国具体某一景点；结合下文“Here are a few facts about the Grand Canyon you probably don't know.”G项中的“still holds some surprises”与之呼应。故选G项。 37．答案：A 解析：根据上文“It has long been believed that the Colorado River began carving the Grand Canyon about 6 million years ago”以及下文“It suggests that the process may have begun as far back as 70 million years.”可知，设空处需要表示转折关系。故选A项。 38．答案：F 解析：设空处为副标题，既要涵盖整段主要内容——大峡谷因为地理环境的特殊有自己特有的天气情况，又要与下文“Of all Grand Canyon facts，this one is pretty cool—no wordplay intended.”中的this one呼应，故选F项。 39．答案：E 解析：根据上文讲“While the dinosaur might have missed out on seeing the Grand Canyon，lots of other fossils have been found”以及下文举例讲述这些化石的种类之广，E项中的this可呼应上文，其中谈到的other creatures frequented the location可衔接下文。故选E项。 40．答案：C 解析：根据上文“Prior to modern flood control measures...are native to the Grand Canyon.”可知，C项与上文衔接紧密，继续补充说明独特生存环境产生的影响——八种原产于大峡谷的鱼中有六种在科罗拉多河以外的区域是找不到的，与上文的a uniquely difficult habitat for fish呼应。故选C项。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 (2025·广东省广州市高二上期中) When I was little，I often helped my mother plant our family's garden.In April，I would kneel by Mum's side for hours，carefully digging holes and 41 seeds into the earth.

One day，Peterson was relaxing in his living room，reading a book，when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man.Inspired by the book's compassionate message，Peterson made an unexpected decision：He was going to go outside and introduce himself. In that first conversation，Peterson learned the man's name was Faris.He'd moved to California to pursue a career in music，but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade. “It was the weirdest thing to me，” Peterson recalled later.“I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn't shaved in probably a year，had overgrown fingernails，probably hadn't had a shower in close to a year.But his story，the life inside of him，inspired me.”And even though Peterson，a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art，hadn't picked up a paintbrush in about eight years，he found himself asking if he could paint Faris's portrait.Faris said yes. Peterson's connection with Faris led him to form Faces In the Community(FIC)，a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused.Peterson sells the portraits signatured by both subject and artist for a few thousand dollars，splitting the proceeds(收入) and putting half into what he calls a“love account”for his model.He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet.Of course，Faris was the first to benefit from FIC. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Seeing his portrait，the homeless man was moved to tears. Inspired by Peterson and Faris，many artists joined them. [参考范文] Seeing his portrait，the homeless man was moved to tears.He benefited a lot from it.He said to Peterson，“It was your help that kept me off the streets，and my heart is full of gratitude.I want to make good use of the money to start a business，and I want to do my best to help those who need help in the future，”Peterson replied，“You are welcome.Actively helping people in need of help is my greatest joy.” With these words，the two men hugged each other tightly. Inspired by Peterson and Faris，many artists joined them.The artists say they will call on more people to help the homeless.Over time，more and more artists have joined FIC，and by helping more and more homeless people to expand the impact and attract more artists.As more and more people were helped，the organization became more and more popular and was honored by the government.As time went on，FIC sold more and more portraits and earned more and more income，which was widely recognized by the society. 学生用书第140页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
