Mammoth Cave National Park preserves this unique and historical natural wonder.As large as the limestone cave system is，park officials，estimate there may be another 600 miles of cave passageways that have yet to be explored.The incredible rock formations have resulted in the park being recognized as a World Heritage Site，thanks to its extraordinary size and scientific importance—making it one of only 13 natural US sites with that title. The caves were created naturally by the process of limestone wearing away.Rain and rivers slowly break down and shape soft limestone，which creates the vast underground network.Not only are they an amazing destination to visit，but the system also provides drinking water for roughly 40% of the US population，and they’re of historical significance too. The caves act as a time capsule that preserves over 5,000 years of human history—and the caves’ first explorers were Native Americans，who mined the upper levels of Mammoth Cave.Thanks to the cave system’s atmosphere and natural protection from any kind of human disturbance，the archaeological(考古的) sites have been left in great shape. Mammoth Cave was established as a national park thanks to strong local support.Back in the 1920s，Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work created the Southern Appalachian National Park Commission in 1925 to survey proposed park sites，including the caves.After years of work acquiring the land for the park，as well as building roads，trails(小径)，and public facilities，Mammoth Cave National Park was established on July 1,1941.The park now receives around 2 million visitors a year，with roughly a quarter taking a tour of the caves—everything from a cultural tour to the more adventurous climbing tours on offer.The cave supports more than 130 wildlife species，such as the eyeless cavefish，which has adapted to the lightless environment by no longer growing eyes，and the cave crayfish. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，介绍了猛犸洞穴国家公园的石灰岩洞穴系统的形成过程和历史、文化意义，以及政府为开发和保护这个自然奇观做出的努力。 1．What has made Mammoth Cave National Park a World Heritage Site? A．The wildlife species. B．The rock formations. C．The cave passageways. D．The scientific discovery. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“The incredible rock formations have resulted in the park being recognized as a World Heritage Site...”可知，让猛犸洞穴国家公园成为公认的世界遗产的是它的岩层，故选B。 2．Why are the caves of historical value? A．They are an amazing destination to visit. B．They were first explored by Native Americans. C．They provide drinking water for the Americans. D．They preserve human history of over 5000 years. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段末句中“and they’re of historical significance too”和第四段第一句“The caves act as a time capsule that preserves over 5,000 years of human history...”可推知，这些洞穴具有历史价值的原因是它保存着人类五千多年的历史，故选D。 3．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．It took a lot of work to establish the park. B．Local people donated the land for the park. C．Around 2 million people visit the caves annually. D．The site of the park was decided by the secretary. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Back in the 1920s，Secretary of Interior Hubert Work created...in 1925 to survey proposed park sites，including the caves.After years of work...Mammoth Cave National Park was established on July 1,1941.”可推知，建立这个公园做了大量的工作。故选A。 4．What can be the best title of the passage? A．Taking Cultural and Adventurous Tours B．Preserving a Unique and Historical Wonder C．Exploring the World’s Longest Cave System D．Establishing Mammoth Cave National Park 答案　C 解析　标题归纳题。纵观全文，前四段介绍猛犸洞穴国家公园的石灰岩洞穴系统的形成过程和历史、文化意义，最后一段介绍了政府为开发这个国家公园做出的努力以及该公园现在的发展状况，因此可知全文围绕“探索世界上最长的洞穴系统”展开进行了多方面多角度的描述，故选C。 B As the threat against coral reefs has increased，researchers are introducing innovative methods to farm healthy corals more efficiently. Unlike the traditional way of growing corals in the ocean，land-based nurseries nurture(培育) corals in tanks before planting them onto reefs.While the operations tend to come with a high price tag and are more labor intensive，they provide an opportunity to raise corals in a controlled environment where experimental methods could be used and allow for repairing reefs on a massive scale. These methods include growing corals in tanks on land，or using advanced techniques to promote growth rates and adaptability to the changing environment.Coral Vita，a for-profit company in Grand Bahama，can now grow corals up to 50 times faster than in nature by cutting corals into small pieces，a process known as “microfragmentation”． The farm is also equipped with a high-tech aquaculture system，referred to by Coral Vita employees as the “life support system”，which can regulate water quality through temperature，pH and other adjustable settings.The system can be set up elsewhere with some adjustments for a region’s specific coral.“It can be very plug and play，which is really important for large-scale restoration，” says Teicher，founder of Coral Vita. The potential for large scale is critical to Coral Vita’s business plan，which is connected to the idea or “selling restoration as a service”．In 2021，Coral Vita signed its first restoration contracts with the Grand Bahama Port Authority.“There are about 100 countries and regions with coral reefs，” Teicher says.“There need to be large-scale coral farms in every single one of them.The amount of funding in the non-profit space is a drop in the bucket，and our model could help make the field less dependent on donations.” Marine biologist David Vaughan points out that Coral Vita may have a couple million dollars in start-up costs and plants fewer than 5,000 to 10,000 corals a year.“That isn’t the economic scale that we need to get this to，” Vaughan says，adding hundreds of thousands of operations “costing couple of dollars a coral” will be required. 5．In which aspect are new methods of coral restoration different from traditional ways? A．Growing corals can be more economical. B．Fewer workers are needed to grow corals. C．Corals are grown in artificial environments. D．New methods are more environment-friendly. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段可知，新方法是在陆地上的水箱里种植珊瑚，不像传统方法在自然环境中种植，故选C。 6．What does Teicher mean by saying “plug and play”？ A．The farm’s technology is advanced. B．The system is easy to operate. C．Many places have brought in the system. D．He is confident of his farm’s future. 答案　B 解析　词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“The system can be set up elsewhere with some adjustments for a region’s specific coral.”推断，Teicher的话的意思是系统操作方便。plug and play为“即插即用的”之意。故选B。 7．Why does Teicher choose the for-profit model? A．Because the model can help him become rich. B．Because the model is required by the authority. C．Because there are fewer non-profit companies. D．Because donations are not enough for restoration. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第五段中的“There need to be large-scale coral farms in every single one of them.The amount of funding in the non-profit space is a drop in the bucket，and our model could help make the field less dependent on donations.”可推知，慈善捐款对于大规模修复珊瑚礁是不够的。因此Teicher选择营利性模式。故选D。 8．What is Vaughan’s attitude towards Coral Vita’s plan? A．Approving. B．Skeptical. C．Unclear. D．Tolerant. 答案　B 解析　观点态度题。最后一段中Vaughan先指出Coral Vita的启动资金可能有数百万，然而一年只种植了少于5 000到10 000株珊瑚。接着他说这不是我们想要达到的规模。因此Vaughan对Coral Vita的计划持有怀疑态度。故选B。 Ⅱ.七选五(共5题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) Advantages of Solar Power As the name suggests，solar power makes the most of the sunlight and is put to good use for its users.Despite some disadvantages，the advantages of it are so great that they cannot be ignored.In short，solar electricity system is an excellent addition to other conventional sources of energy. 1 A solar panel system，when coupled to your electric function，can sufficiently reduce or even cancel your electric bill，yet providing you with the option of using traditional power whenever needed. 2 It’s simple to operate as well and this is another advantage.Just ensure that you have the right technology in terms of space use and performance. But perhaps the most widely well-known advantage of solar power is that this is green energy. 3 This is a great advantage in today’s world where we need to be concerned about the high levels of pollution and global warming.Let us all take some responsibility and do something that can clean up our atmosphere to some extent at least.So while on the one hand solar power is clean，on the other hand，it can also greatly reduce the electricity bill of the users. 4 So if you are thinking in terms of installing a solar electric system in your home or commercial property，you should go ahead and do it by all means. And the best news is that the solar power system can be built in your house itself. 5 That is why you need a brochure that can tell you all about these issues. A．So it is time to take action. B．You cannot ignore the advantages mentioned above. C．When referred to，solar energy is perhaps the best power in the world. D．Also，the flexible system allows you to use it on a wide range of applications. E．But you need to know how and where to make it，where to get the parts affordably etc. F．This power does not cause any pollution，which is why it is such an attraction to many. G．Here are some of the advantages of equipping a solar power system in your home or office. 1．答案　G 解析　根据文章标题以及第二段的“A solar panel system...can sufficiently reduce or even cancel your electric bill”“It’s simple to operate as well and this is another advantage.”和第三段第一句可知，空格处引起下文对太阳能的优点的详细介绍，G选项“以下是在家中或办公室安装太阳能系统的一些优点。”符合语境，故选G。 2．答案　D 解析　根据空格前后句可知，空格处同样介绍的是这种太阳能电池板系统的优点，根据后文中的“Just ensure that you have the right technology in terms of space use and performance.”可知，D选项符合语境，说明只要你掌握了空间利用和性能方面的技术，这种灵活的系统应用范围甚广，故选D。 3．答案　F 解析　空格前一句指出太阳能是一种绿色能源，F选项说明了太阳能环保这一个优点，和空前说它是绿色能源相呼应，故选F。 4．答案　B 解析　空格后给读者提出了安装太阳能电力系统的建议，因此空格处应该说明要安装这种太阳能电力系统的原因，结合前面讲的太阳能电力系统的优点可知，B选项很好地解释了为什么一定要安装这种系统，故选B。 5．答案　E 解析　根据空格后一句“That is why you need a brochure that can tell you all about these issues.”可知，空格处应提到某些问题。E选项提到了一些问题，和后文需要一个能告诉这些问题的答案的小册子相呼应，故选E。 训练6　Extended reading(B) (满分：35分) Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8题；每小题2.5分，共20分) A The fossil(化石) discovery in Victoria now shows that monk seals were widespread in Australasia in the past. “Monk seals are one of the rarest and most endangered marine mammals(海洋哺乳动物) alive today，but this wasn’t always the case，” according to lead study author Dr James Rule from Monash University.“Our paper shows that the very endangered monk seals once called Australia home about five million years ago (specifically in Victoria)，” he said. The discovery was made by studying two fossils again from Melbourne Museum’s collections，the identity of which had been a mystery for 40 years.“When we studied them，they turned out to be the oldest evidence of monk seals，” Dr Rule said.“These fossils，along with the extinct New Zealand species that was discovered last year，double the known diversity of the monk seals，” he said. According to Dr Rule，monk seals disappeared in Australasia three million years ago，and they only lived in the tropics(热带地区) and the Mediterranean after temperatures fell during the Ice Ages.This left monk seals on the edge of disappearance after being overhunted by humans，with about 2,000 members left. The discovery of New Zealand species and Australian monk seals led the researchers to restudy the origin of the group.“Our research shows that monk seals began in Australia，” Dr Rule said.“This is different from every theory previously put forward by scientists.” Previous research has theorized climate change led to the disappearance of many ancient seals in the Southern Hemisphere.This would have included New Zealand’s and Australian monk seals.“This suggests the world’s last two species of monk seal are also at risk from climate change，” Dr Rule said.If sea level continues to rise，the beaches monk seals rely on for resting and raising young ones may disappear. 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。僧海豹是现存的最稀少、最濒危的海洋哺乳生物之一，它们曾广泛存在于澳大拉西亚地区，但由于气候变化的影响，僧海豹的生存一直受到威胁。 1．What does the new discovery show about monk seals? A．Their living habits. B．Their growth process. C．Their early appearance. D．Their ways of getting food. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知，新的研究发现表明僧海豹以前在澳大拉西亚广泛分布，说明了僧海豹早期就出现了。故选C。 2．What do we know about the two fossils from Melbourne Museum? A．Researcher found it hard to keep them in good condition. B．Researchers managed to identify them before many years. C．They were once thought to be fossils of birds. D．They were first discovered last year. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句可知，这两块化石的身份40年来一直是个谜，说明之前研究人员们一直想确定这两块化石的身份。故选B。 3．What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 4 probably refer to? A．Fighting water pollution. B．Suffering from a lack of food. C．Having limited living places. D．Facing increasing natural enemies. 答案　C 解析　代词指代题。根据文章第四段内容可知，指示代词This指代前面的“they only lived in the tropics(热带地区) and the Mediterranean after temperatures fell during the Ice Ages”，即非常有限的生存空间。故选C。 4．What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? A．Climate change always threatens monk seals’ survival. B．Scientists can now measure the rate of global warming. C．Human activity in Australia should be strictly limited. D．People need to help raise young monk seals. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容可知，气候变化导致了许多古海豹的消失，如果海平面继续上升，僧海豹赖以生存的海滩也会消失，进而威胁到僧海豹，由此可推知，气候变化一直威胁着僧海豹的生存。故选A。 B Cichlids(慈鲷) and stingrays(黄貂鱼) can perform simple plus and subtraction(减法) in the number range of one to five.This has been shown in a recent study by the university of Bonn，which has now been published in the journal Scientific Reports. This fact has been known for sometime that cichlids and stingrays can precisely detect small quantities without counting.However，the new research led by Dr.Vera Schluessel from the University of Bonn has shown that both species can even calculate.“We trained the animals to perform simple additions and subtractions，” Schluessel explains.“In doing so，they had to increase or decrease a premier value by one.”Blue means “add one”，and yellow means “subtract one”． But how do you ask a cichlid for the result of “2＋1” or “5－1”？ The researchers used a method other research groups had already successfully used to test the mathematical abilities of bees: They showed the fish a collection of geometric shapes—for example，four squares.If these objects were colored blue，this meant “add one”．Yellow，on the other hand，meant “subtract one”．After showing the original stimulus (e.g.four squares)，the animals were shown two new pictures—one with five and one with three squares.If they swam to the correct picture(i.e.to the five squares in the “blue” arithmetic task)，they were rewarded with food.If they gave the wrong answer，they went away empty-handed.Overtime，they learned to associate the blue color with an increase of one in the amount shown at the beginning，and the yellow number with a decrease. But can the fish apply this knowledge to new tasks? Have they actually mastered the mathematical rule behind the colors? “To check this，we will designedly leave out some calculations during future training，” Schluessel explains. 5．What is known about the two species before the new research? A．They can count small quantities easily. B．They can associate colors with numbers. C．They can do simple calculations by training. D．They can identify small quantities accurately. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“This fact has been known for sometime that cichlids and stingrays can precisely detect small quantities without counting.”可知，人们早就知道慈鲷和黄貂鱼不需要数就能精确地识别较小的数量，故选D。 6．Why is the bee-method applied? A．To illustrate fish’s ability. B．To ensure the research’s reliability. C．To compare fish and bees. D．To promote the research’s application. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“The researchers used a method other research groups had already successfully used to test the mathematical abilities of bees”可知，研究人员借鉴测试蜜蜂的方法是为了确保研究的可靠性，故选B。 7．How is the experiment carried out? A．By collecting and calculating. B．By comparing and analysing. C．By observing and concluding. D．By predicting and checking. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中“They showed the fish...After showing the original stimulus (e.g.four squares)，the animals were shown...If they gave the wrong answer...Overtime，they learned to associate the blue color with an increase of one in the amount shown at the beginning，and the yellow number with a decrease.”可知，实验是通过观察和总结而展开的，故选C。 8．What does the last paragraph imply? A．The fish are competent in mathematical calculation. B．The procedure of the experiment needs improvement. C．More trials are still needed to confirm the new findings. D．Calculation methods are comprehended by both species. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段“But can the fish apply this knowledge to new tasks? Have they actually mastered the mathematical rule behind the colors? ‘To check this，we will designedly leave out some calculations during future training，’ Schluessel explains.”可知，鱼是否能将这个知识应用到新的任务中及是否真的掌握了颜色背后的数字法则还需要在将来被验证，故还需要更多的实验来证实新发现，故选C。 Ⅱ.完形填空(共15题；每小题1分，共15分) (2024·无锡高三期中) KATHY XU，a high school teacher，had always wanted to see a shark in the wild.The 1 finally came in 2011，when she went on a snorkelling(浮潜) trip to the Ningaloo Reef.Instead of being 2 of the whale shark，she was inspired by its 3 and grace. Xu later learned about the shark trade in the village of Tanjung Luar.Curious，Xu 4 the village.She spoke with several fishermen.Shark fishing is 5 and involves hard physical work，but it’s one of few ways to 6 their families. Once the fishermen heard Xu liked snorkelling，they urged her to visit the coral reefs(珊瑚礁) nearby.The reefs were 7 ，alive with life and colour.Xu was confident that snorkelling boat trip was the 8 —a way the fishermen could make a living without risking catching sharks.
