Unit 3 Period 4 Writing 分层练习 基础达标 01 能力提升 02 拓展培优 03 一、阅读理解 The Himalayan wolf and snow leopard are top predators (捕食者) in alpine ecosystems. Across the diverse landscapes of the Asian highlands, herding (放牧) communities exhibit varying attitudes toward snow leopards and wolves. Although snow leopards cause greater livestock loss, these communities generally show greater tolerance and acceptance toward snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where the more damaging predator is contradictorily more tolerated. Attitude toward snow leopards and wolves in the Himalayas are shaped by factors like religion and culture. Snow leopards hold significant cultural and spiritual value, especially in Buddhism. Local folk tales boost snow leopards’ awe, portraying them as holy beings linked to spiritual beliefs of the communities. In contrast to the awe for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless predators. These tales shape public view, fostering hostility (敌意) and fear toward wolves. Conservation efforts in the Himalayas primarily concentrate on snow leopards, often overlooking other sympatric carnivores (食肉动物), like wolves. Consequently, programs for population monitoring, habitat preservation, and livestock insurance mainly benefit snow leopards, leaving wolves with minimal attention or resources. Additionally, key policy documents prioritize snow leopard conservation efforts, neglecting the ecological significance of wolves. This mistake slows down carnivore protection and makes local communities feel bitter toward wolves. Interestingly, this difference exists despite both snow leopard and Himalayan wolf being globally classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Both snow leopards and wolves are crucial to the Himalayan ecosystem, but conservation has overwhelmingly favored snow leopards. This imbalance in attention and resources worsens the challenges faced by wolves, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to conserve both species effectively. 1．What phenomenon does the “predator paradox” describe in paragraph 1? A．Top predators always cause livestock loss. B．More harmful predators are more accepted locally. C．Locals tolerate different top predators equally. D．Conservation focuses on more tolerated predators. 2．How do Himalayan herding communities view wolves? A．As sacred Buddhist beings. B．As tricky, fearsome hunters. C．Less threatening than snow leopards. D．As necessary contributors to the ecosystem. 3．What effect may the overlook of wolf conservation have? A．It puts snow leopards in danger. B．It worsens locals’ bitterness of wolves. C．It improves the alpine ecosystem balance. D．It slows the protection of carnivores overall. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Why Protect Snow Leopards More? B．Who’s More Tolerated? C．How to Save Wolves? D．Where’s the Balance? 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出喜马拉雅地区的放牧社区对雪豹和狼存在态度差异，雪豹更受包容，而狼常被忽视，文章强调需平衡保护两者，以维护当地生态系统的稳定。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Although snow leopards cause greater livestock loss, these communities generally show greater tolerance and acceptance toward snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where the more damaging predator is contradictorily more tolerated.(尽管雪豹造成了更大的牲畜损失，但这些社区对雪豹却普遍表现出更大的容忍和接纳态度。这体现了“捕食者悖论”，即更具破坏性的捕食者反而更易得到容忍。)”可知，“捕食者悖论”描述的是尽管雪豹对牲畜造成的损失更大，但这些社区对雪豹却表现出更大的容忍和接受度，即更有害的捕食者在当地却更受欢迎，故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“In contrast to the awe for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless predators.(与人们对雪豹的敬畏之情形成鲜明对比的是，狼普遍遭到厌恶和惧怕。这种负面看法源于民间传说，在这些故事中，狼被描绘成狡猾且无情的捕食者。)”可知，喜马拉雅的放牧社区将狼视为狡猾、可怕的猎手，故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Additionally, key policy documents prioritize snow leopard conservation efforts, neglecting the ecological significance of wolves. This mistake slows down carnivore protection and makes local communities feel bitter toward wolves.(此外，关键的政策文件将雪豹保护工作置于优先地位，却忽视了狼的生态重要性。这一失误减缓了食肉动物的保护进程，并引发了当地社区对狼的怨恨。)”可知，忽视狼的保护会减缓食肉动物的整体保护进程，故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Both snow leopards and wolves are crucial to the Himalayan ecosystem, but conservation has overwhelmingly favored snow leopards. This imbalance in attention and resources worsens the challenges faced by wolves, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to conserve both species effectively.(雪豹和狼对喜马拉雅生态系统而言都至关重要，但保护工作却绝大多数都倾向于雪豹。这种关注和资源分配上的不平衡加剧了狼所面临的挑战，凸显出需要采取平衡的方法来有效保护这两个物种。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了雪豹和狼在喜马拉雅生态系统中的重要性，以及保护工作中存在的失衡问题，强调需要采取平衡的方法来有效保护这两个物种，因此D项“Where’s the Balance?(平衡在哪里？)”适合作为文章的标题。故选D。 二、完形填空 Many remarkable moments from my father’s career as a basketball player, coach, and broadcaster are well-remembered by the public.

It was Hampton Institute. The school was established to provide opportunities for poor but worthy students who could work out all or a part of the cost of board, and at the same time be taught some trade or industry. I was on fire constantly with one ambition, and that was to go to school. I decided at once to go to that school. Finally the great day came and I started for Hampton. I had only a small, cheap bag that contained what few articles of clothing I could get. The distance from Malden to Hampton is about five hundred miles. I had not been away from home many hours before it began to grow painfully evident that I did not have enough money to pay my fare (路费) to Hampton. By walking and begging rides in some way, I finally reached the grounds of the Hampton Institute after a number of days, tired and dirty. As soon as possible after reaching, I presented myself before the head teacher for assignment to a class. Having been so long without proper food, a bath, and change of clothing, I was like a worthless loafer (游荡者). I did not, of course, make a very favourable impression upon her, and I could see at once that there were doubts in her mind about the wisdom of admitting me as a student. I tried to impress her in all the ways I could with my worthiness. How I wished that I could get a chance to show what was in me. After some time, the head teacher said to me, “The adjoining (隔壁的)classroom needs sweeping. Take the broom and sweep it.” 注意：   （1）续写词数应为150左右；   （2）请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 P1: It occurred to me at once that here was my chance. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ P2: The head teacher went into the room and inspected the floor and closets.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 P1: It occurred to me at once that here was my chance. Never did I receive an order with more delight. I knew I could sweep, for my parents thoroughly taught me how to do that when I was young. I swept the room three times. Then I got a dusting-cloth and I dusted it four times. All the woodwork around the walls, every bench, table, and desk, I went over four times with my dusting-cloth. I had the feeling that in a large measure my future depended upon the impression I made upon the teacher in the cleaning of that room. When I was through, I reported to her. P2: The head teacher went into the room and inspected the floor and closets. Then she took her handkerchief and rubbed it on the woodwork about the walls, and over the table and benches. When she was unable to find one bit of dirt on the floor, or a particle of dust on any of the furniture, she quietly remarked, “I guess you will do to enter this institution.” I was one of the happiest souls on earth. The sweeping of that room was my college examination! I have passed several examinations since then, but I have always felt that this was the best one I ever passed. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者在煤矿工作时听闻弗吉尼亚有为穷人开设的汉普顿学院，便决心前往。历经数日徒步与搭车，他疲惫且狼狈地抵达，因形象不佳遭校长质疑，后校长让他清扫隔壁教室。 【解析】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我立刻意识到这是我的机会。”可知，第一段可以描写作者将清扫教室视为入学契机，每一处都认真擦拭的过程。 ②由第二段句首内容“校长走进房间检查地板和壁橱。”可知，第二段可以描写校长严格检查清扫成果的过程，最终认可作者的表现并同意其入学，升华出努力与认真能赢得机遇的主旨。 2.续写线索：意识到这是机会——全力清扫显决心——校长检查——通过考验——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①收到命令：receive an order/get a command ②依靠：depend upon/rely on ③发现：find/spot 情绪类 ①高兴：delight/joy/happiness ②最快乐的：happiest/most delighted 【点睛】【高分句型1】I knew I could sweep, for my parents thoroughly taught me how to do that when I was young.

It was Hampton Institute. The school was established to provide opportunities for poor but worthy students who could work out all or a part of the cost of board, and at the same time be taught some trade or industry. I was on fire constantly with one ambition, and that was to go to school. I decided at once to go to that school. Finally the great day came and I started for Hampton. I had only a small, cheap bag that contained what few articles of clothing I could get. The distance from Malden to Hampton is about five hundred miles. I had not been away from home many hours before it began to grow painfully evident that I did not have enough money to pay my fare (路费) to Hampton. By walking and begging rides in some way, I finally reached the grounds of the Hampton Institute after a number of days, tired and dirty. As soon as possible after reaching, I presented myself before the head teacher for assignment to a class. Having been so long without proper food, a bath, and change of clothing, I was like a worthless loafer (游荡者). I did not, of course, make a very favourable impression upon her, and I could see at once that there were doubts in her mind about the wisdom of admitting me as a student. I tried to impress her in all the ways I could with my worthiness. How I wished that I could get a chance to show what was in me. After some time, the head teacher said to me, “The adjoining (隔壁的)classroom needs sweeping. Take the broom and sweep it.” 注意：   （1）续写词数应为150左右；   （2）请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 P1: It occurred to me at once that here was my chance. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ P2: The head teacher went into the room and inspected the floor and closets.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
