So far, the national key wildlife protection rate 1 (increase) to 74 percent, up from 71 percent last year. Its announcement coincided with the International Day for Biological Diversity, the theme of 2 this year was “Building 3 shared future for all life”. The administration said that China’s 4 (achieve) in protecting wild animals are partly attributed to releasing wild species into nature reserves after artificial breeding (繁育). 5 was reported that nine milu deer fawns (小鹿) were recently born in the Daqingshan National Nature Reserve in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region. The fawns were released into the wild in September 6 (follow) artificial breeding in Beijing and Jiangsu province. “This result showed that close monitoring and health management by researchers led to the successful reintroduction of the deer 7 the wild,” the administration said. Artificial breeding has helped to increase the population of some species that had 8 (previous) disappeared in the wild. As for other wild populations, the panda population has increased from 1,114 in the 1980s to 1,864, 9 the number of wild Asian elephants also increased from about 180 to 300 over the same period. Up to now, 206 species of rare and 10 (endanger) plants have returned to the wild, of which 112 are unique to China. 五、阅读理解 The extinction of the largest dinosaurs to walk the Earth may have played a critical role in creating an environment that helped fruits evolve (进化), thereby indirectly shaping the evolution of our own fruit-eating ancestors, according to new research. More than 66 million years ago, when the world still had these ecosystems engineers, they greatly changed their environments by knocking down trees and eating high volumes of vegetation. After their extinction, the forests grew back thicker, seeds and fruits increased substantially in size. Researchers have assumed this happened because in thicker forests, competition for light stimulated trees to grow taller and faster and trees grown from larger seeds had a head start. As a bonus, investing in plentiful and tasty fruit made them more likely to be digested and distributed by bigger animals. The trees that moved farther away from their mother trees were very delighted because they didn’t have to put up with the same diseases that their mothers had. That’s an evolutionary incentive. However, there hasn’t been much evidence to support this theory. To address this, the research team created a model where seed and fruit size increased as a response to the darker forest understory that followed dinosaur extinction. The data suggested about 35 million years ago, seeds started getting smaller, because land animals had once again become sufficiently large to have a similar effect on the forests. “The evolutionary pressure for seed size to increase began to decline. Thus, we were able to explain the trends in seed size over time without considering external influences such as climate change,” Researchers said. Who’s the latest seed and fruit size influencer? Humans. Where human settlement has led to selective logging practices, light levels in the understory are similar to those of the dinosaur forest. Yet, if humans stop playing the role of dinosaurs and aren’t replaced by other giant engineers, we could expect a forest darkening and consequent restart of the race for light, with the evolution of larger seeds regaining an advantage over smaller ones. 1．What contributed to the smaller seed sizes before dinosaurs’ extinction? A．Enormous trees. B．Sufficient light. C．Animals’ intake. D．Climate change. 2．Which of the following is closest in meaning to “incentive” in paragraph 3? A．Origin. B．Proof. C．Characteristic. D．Motivation. 3．What may influence the fruit size in modern society? A．The evolutionary pressure. B．The selective lighting system. C．The continuous deforestation. D．The genetically engineered seeds. 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．Dinosaurs: The Ecosystem Engineers. B．Humans: The Modern-Day Dinosaurs. C．Love fruit? Thank Dinosaur Mass Extinction. D．Feel surprised? Dinosaurs Shaped Fruit Diversity.. 六、七选五 Eating meat is not a crime against the planet — if it’s done right. I have huge admiration for George Monbiot, a well-known columnist. His work has highlighted the urgent need to reduce our CO2 emissions and switch to greener energy. He has also shown intensive farming’s (密集耕种) role in the dramatic levels of species decline and biodiversity loss. Much of what he writes is in line with my stand. 5 It is undeniable that the farming revolution of the 1950s has started a war on nature. These intensive ways of producing food are polluting our land and waterways. 6 We need to change the way we eat and produce food, and fast. 7 But in a recent article, he wrote that organic, pasture-fed beef and lamb are the “world’s most damaging farm products.” He criticizes “chefs and foodies” like me for focusing on regenerative grazing — farming that aims to repair, rebuild, revitalize and restore ecosystem function. His alternative vision includes a revolution in creating food in labs from microbes and water. Although not opposed to the idea of lab-grown food, I am much more for small-scale community-driven farming. 8 Methods that regenerative farmers propose have shown how non-intensive livestock, when managed well, can increase topsoil more than previously thought, which can then build up biomass (carbon) and keep precious rainwater. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, small-scale farmers currently produce about a third of our food. 9 These inventions in new food technology are heavily patented, pushing the future of our food supply further into the hands of an increasingly small and powerful collection of multinational food players. In our race to look for better systems of food production, we cannot afford to ignore the risks. A．Thus far Monbiot and I agree. B．Monbiot’s enthusiasm for creating food in labs worries me. C．That is because I believe in the potential of food to be a force for good. D．Regenerative farming has produced untested food through small-scale farms. E．The health impact of processed foods gets very little attention from the government. F．In consequence, they have heated up our planet and contributed to a crisis in human health. G．However, regarding the solutions needed to change our farming and food systems, we have different views. 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 2 Period 4 Writing 分层练习 基础达标 01 能力提升 02 拓展培优 03 一、将下列短语翻译为英文。 1.捐赠善款 2.提供紧急援助 3.保护濒危物种 4.开展环保活动 5.改善卫生条件 6.资助教育项目 7.推广人道主义法 8.筹集慈善资金 【答案】 1.donate money to charity 2. provide emergency assistance 3. protect endangered species 4. carry out environmental activities 5. improve hygiene conditions 6. fund educational programs 7. promote international humanitarian law 8. raise charity funds 二、句子仿写改写。 基础层 1.原句：Friends of the Earth fights climate change.

D．Feel surprised? Dinosaurs Shaped Fruit Diversity.. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究指出，恐龙灭绝后森林变密、光照竞争加剧，促使果实和种子变大以利传播；人类活动现正扮演类似“生态系统工程师”角色，再度影响种子演化方向。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“More than 66 million years ago, when the world still had these ecosystems engineers, they greatly changed their environments by knocking down trees and eating high volumes of vegetation.(6600多万年前，当世界上还有这些生态系统工程师的时候，它们通过砍伐树木和吃掉大量的植被，极大地改变了环境)”及第三段“Researchers have assumed this happened because in thicker forests, competition for light stimulated trees to grow taller and faster and trees grown from larger seeds had a head start.(研究人员认为，这是因为在茂密的森林中，对光线的竞争刺激了树木长得更高更快，而从更大的种子生长出来的树木有一个良好的开端)”可知，恐龙灭绝后，森林变得茂密，对光线的竞争刺激树木长出更大的种子。与此相反，恐龙灭绝前，吃掉或破坏掉大量的树木，森林变得稀疏，光线充足，会导致植物竞争压力减小，种子变小。故选B项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段即划线词上文第三段“Researchers have assumed this happened because in thicker forests, competition for light stimulated trees to grow taller and faster and trees grown from larger seeds had a head start. As a bonus, investing in plentiful and tasty fruit made them more likely to be digested and distributed by bigger animals. (研究人员认为，这是因为在茂密的森林中，对光线的竞争刺激了树木长得更高更快，而从更大的种子生长出来的树木有一个良好的开端。此外还有一个好处，投资丰富且美味的果实还能提高它们被大型动物消化和散播的概率)”可知，此处在解释森林茂密对光线的竞争对植物进化的一种推动和刺激。motivation的动词motivate与上文stimulate意思相近。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Who’s the latest seed and fruit size influencer? Humans. Where human settlement has led to selective logging practices, light levels in the understory are similar to those of the dinosaur forest. Yet, if humans stop playing the role of dinosaurs and aren’t replaced by other giant engineers, we could expect a forest darkening and consequent restart of the race for light, with the evolution of larger seeds regaining an advantage over smaller ones.(谁是最近代的影响种子和水果大小的人？人类。在人类定居导致选择性采伐的地方，林下植被的光照水平与恐龙林相似。然而，如果人类不再扮演恐龙的角色，而不是被其他巨型工程师所取代，我们可以预期森林将会变暗，随之而来的是光的竞赛重新开始，大种子的进化将重新获得比小种子更大的优势)”可知，近代，人类持续地对森林的砍伐破坏影响森林，从而影响种子的大小。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“The extinction of the largest dinosaurs to walk the Earth may have played a critical role in creating an environment that helped fruits evolve (进化), thereby indirectly shaping the evolution of our own fruit-eating ancestors, according to new research.(一项最新研究表明，地球上最大恐龙的灭绝可能在创造有利于水果进化的环境方面发挥了关键作用，从而间接影响了我们吃水果的祖先的进化)”并纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了恐龙及现代人类对森林的破坏影响了水果的大小，尤其曾经由于恐龙的原因促使植物长出更大的果实。本文中dinosaur和seed and fruit size是关键词。故选C项。 六、七选五 Eating meat is not a crime against the planet — if it’s done right.

E．The health impact of processed foods gets very little attention from the government. F．In consequence, they have heated up our planet and contributed to a crisis in human health. G．However, regarding the solutions needed to change our farming and food systems, we have different views. 【答案】5．G 6．F 7．A 8．C 9．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了作者与George Monbiot在农业生产方式上的分歧，作者强调了可持续农业的重要性，并表达了对实验室生产食物的担忧。 5．根据上文“Much of what he writes is in line with my stand.(他写的大部分内容与我的立场一致)”和第三段中“But in a recent article, he wrote that organic, pasture-fed beef and lamb are the “world’s most damaging farm products.” He criticizes “chefs and foodies” like me for focusing on regenerative grazing — farming that aims to repair, rebuild, revitalize and restore ecosystem function.(但在最近的一篇文章中，他写道，有机的、牧场喂养的牛肉和羊肉是“世界上最具破坏性的农产品”。他批评像我这样的“厨师和美食家”专注于再生放牧——旨在修复、重建、振兴和恢复生态系统功能的农业)”可知，作者和Monbiot的观点虽然有很多一致之处，但在农业生产方式上的观点出现了分歧。故G选项“However, regarding the solutions needed to change our farming and food systems, we have different views.(然而，关于改变我们的农业和食品系统所需的解决方案，我们有不同的看法)”总领全文，表明文章主要讨论了作者与George Monbiot在农业生产方式上的分歧，是文章的主题句。故选G项。 6．根据上文“These intensive ways of producing food are polluting our land and waterways.(这些集约化的食品生产方式正在污染我们的土地和水道)”可知，集约化的食品生产方式对环境造成了污染。F选项“In consequence, they have heated up our planet and contributed to a crisis in human health.(因此，它们使我们的星球变暖，并导致了人类健康危机)”承接上文，具体阐述了这种污染带来的后果，即加剧全球变暖，并引发人类健康危机，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 7．根据第二段中“It is undeniable that the farming revolution of the 1950s has started a war on nature. These intensive ways of producing food are polluting our land and waterways.(不可否认的是，20世纪50年代的农业革命已经引发了一场对自然的战争。这些集约化的食品生产方式正在污染我们的土地和水道)”可知，作者认同Monbiot关于集约化农业对环境造成破坏的观点。再根据下文“But in a recent article, he wrote that organic, pasture-fed beef and lamb are the “world’s most damaging farm products.” He criticizes “chefs and foodies” like me for focusing on regenerative grazing — farming that aims to repair, rebuild, revitalize and restore ecosystem function.(但在最近的一篇文章中，他写道，有机的、牧场喂养的牛肉和羊肉是“世界上最具破坏性的农产品”。他批评像我这样的“厨师和美食家”专注于再生放牧——旨在修复、重建、振兴和恢复生态系统功能的农业)”可知，作者和Monbiot在农业生产方式上的观点出现了分歧。A选项“Thus far Monbiot and I agree.(到目前为止，Monbiot和我都同意)”承上启下，首先重复第二段中作者和Monbiot在集约化农业对环境造成破坏这一点上看法一致，然后引出下文的分歧，上下文逻辑连贯。故选A项。 8．根据上文“Although not opposed to the idea of lab-grown food, I am much more for small-scale community-driven farming.(虽然我不反对实验室种植食物的想法，但我更支持小规模的社区驱动农业)”可知，作者更倾向于小规模的社区驱动农业。C选项“That is because I believe in the potential of food to be a force for good.(那是因为我相信食物有成为一股向善的力量的潜力)”符合语境，解释了作者支持小规模的社区驱动农业的原因，即作者相信食物有成为一股向善的力量的潜力。故选C项。 9．根据下文“These inventions in new food technology are heavily patented, pushing the future of our food supply further into the hands of an increasingly small and powerful collection of multinational food players.(这些新食品技术的发明被大量申请专利，使我们食品供应的未来进一步落入越来越少但越来越强大的跨国食品企业手中)”可知，作者对实验室生产食物的未来表示担忧，认为这可能会使食品供应的控制权更加集中。B选项“Monbiot’s enthusiasm for creating food in labs worries me.(Monbiot对实验室生产食物的热情让我担心)”符合语境，引起下文，表明作者对Monbiot提出的实验室生产食物的看法表示担忧。故选B项。 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
