单元测评5　Unit 5　Into the wild (时间：30分钟　　满分：45分) (本栏目内容在学生用书中以活页形式分册装订！) Ⅰ.阅读理解(本题共8个小题，每小题2.5分，共20分) A (2025·武汉高三调研) A group of researchers studying the behavior of Amur tigers, also known as Siberian tigers, have found that they have different “personality” types that help them survive and raise their baby tigers. According to the previous investigation, Amur tigers are definitely the largest cats in the world.They live in vast forests in wilderness areas of eastern Russia and in protected areas of North­east China.There are about 400 of these tigers left in the wild, although there are probably hundreds more living in zoos or reserves. The researchers based the study on a human test called “The Big Five”， which scores people on five personality features.They asked feeders working with 248 cats in two shelters to spy on the tigers and give an account of their personalities.The results divided the tigers into two groups, which the researchers described as having either “majesty” or “steadiness”．Tigers in the majesty category were those that appeared “dignified (高贵的) and ambitious”．The tigers in the steadiness category were “sincere and tolerant”． Majestic tigers had a higher social status, spent more time hunting live animals, and mated and ate more.The steady tigers seemed gentler and more loving toward one another.Rosalind Arden, co­author of the study, said, “It's pleasant to see that you don't have to be dominant, fierce, competitive, and aggressive in order to succeed as a tiger, which doesn't correspond with people's traditional insights into tigers.” There were female and male tigers in both categories.In fact, female Amur tigers are rare and feel exhausted after giving birth to baby tigers so that fathers often help raise the baby tigers.Having a steady personality, especially for male ones, could play a significant role in the relatively long amount of time—two to three years—that baby tigers stay with their parents.The researchers say both personalities have advantages that help the tigers survive threats, including loss of habitat and hunting.The team hopes the study will encourage more support from all walks of life in a bid to guarantee the tigers' conservation. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现：东北虎有不同的 “性格” 类型。 1．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2? A．To justify an argument. B．To add background information. C．To summarize the previous paragraph. D．To introduce a new topic for discussion. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段的内容可知，第一段主要介绍了一项新的研究发现；而第二段介绍了东北虎的生存地区、种群数量等信息。由此可推知，第二段补充介绍了东北虎的背景信息。故选B。 2．The researchers conducted the study on Amur tigers by ． A．categorizing them for inspection B．scoring them on 5 personality features C．doing comparison experiments in the lab D．observing them through a personality test 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的 “The researchers based the study on a human test...to spy on the tigers and give an account of their personalities.” 可知，研究人员通过性格测试对东北虎进行了观察研究。故选D。 3．What does Rosalind Arden think of their findings? A．They improve Amur tigers' welfare. B．They change the tigers' living conditions. C．They help the reproduction of Amur tigers. D．They contradict traditional ideas about tigers. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第四段中 Rosalind Arden 所说的 “It's pleasant to see that you don't have to be dominant, fierce, competitive, and aggressive in order to succeed as a tiger, which doesn't correspond with people's traditional insights into tigers.” 可知， Rosalind Arden 认为一只成功的老虎不必是强势的、凶猛的、有竞争力的和好斗的，而这与人们对老虎的传统看法不相符。所以， Rosalind Arden认为他们的发现与人们对于老虎的传统观念相矛盾。故选D。 4．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Few sex­related differences exist in tigers' personalities. B．A steady personality decreases tigers' chance of survival. C．Greater conservation efforts have been made due to the study. D．Personality types of baby tigers are influenced by their parents. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容可推知，老虎的性格中几乎没有与性别有关的差异。故选A。 B (2024·广东高三联考) Bird populations in the UK continue to crash, new data shows, as campaigners predict the government will fail to meet its own nature targets unless radical (彻底的) changes are made.In 2024, on average the abundance of 130 breeding species was 12% below its 1970 value.Between 2015 and 2023, 24% of species increased, 28% showed little change and 48% declined.Wildlife experts agree that the decline in bird populations is largely driven by habitat loss. The government passed the Environment Act into law in 2024, which requires a halt in species decline by 2030.Campaigners have said that radical changes to government policy are needed if it is to meet its targets.The problems were highlighted by the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch this year, in which house sparrows remained the most frequently observed species in gardens for the 20th year in a row. “The numbers speak for themselves when it comes to the astonishing declines of some of our once common birds，” said Beccy Speight, the RSPB's chief executive.“We are in a nature and climate emergency and we've lost 38 million birds from our skies in the past 50 years.” This year, more than 500，000 people took part in the Big Garden Birdwatch, and more than 9 million birds were spotted.The results also identified problems faced by other common bird species, including chaffinches and greenfinches. Richard Benwell, the chief executive of the environmental coalition Wildlife and Countryside Link, said, “Meeting the legal target to stop wildlife losses by the end of the next parliament(议会) can't be achieved with a legal shift here, some spare change there.Serious, sustained investment, proper punishment for pollution, and action in every department of government must be the features of any nature­positive manifesto(宣言).” 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇新闻报道。英国的鸟类数量持续下降，除非进行彻底变革，否则英国将无法实现阻止野生生物数量下降的目标。 5．According to the text, what is the main cause of bird population decline in the UK? A．Climate change. B．Habitat loss. C．Pollution. D．Hunting. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句可知，野生生物专家一致认为，鸟类数量的减少主要是由于栖息地的丧失。故选B。 6．What does the underlined word “halt” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Adjustment. B．Instruction. C．Stop. D．Promotion. 答案：C 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中画线词所在句 “The government passed the Environment Act into law in 2024，which requires a halt in species decline by 2030.” 及最后一段中的 “Meeting the legal target to stop wildlife losses ... some spare change there.” 可知，政府通过了《环境法》，该法律想达到阻止野生生物物种减少的目标。由此可推知，画线单词halt 表示 “阻止”，与stop意思相近。故选C。 7．Which bird species has been seen the most regularly in UK gardens during the past 20 years? A．House sparrows. B．Chaffinches. C．Greenfinches. D．Uncommon birds. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的 “...in which house sparrows remained the most frequently observed species in gardens for the 20th year in a row.” 可知，在过去20 年中，家麻雀在英国花园中最常见。故选A。 8．Why does the author quote Richard Benwell's words in the last paragraph? A．To point out the ways to meet the nature target. B．To stress the importance of setting specific goals. C．To remind the next parliament to make new laws. D．To prove the government's failure in bird protection. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知， Richard Benwell的话中提到了真正解决问题的方法：认真、严肃、可持续的投资，对污染的适当惩罚，以及政府各个部门的行动。由此可推知，作者引用Richard Benwell的话是为了说明实现阻止野生生物数量下降这一目标的途径。故选A。 Ⅱ.读后续写(满分25分) (2025·八省适应性考试) I was in Philadelphia for a conference when I saw an ad in the hotel.A nearby theater was showing a documentary (纪录片) about several local animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the country.I love animals, and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event.However, none of my co­workers would go with me, and I was worried about walking on the street alone at night. I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room, but as soon as I got back to my room I felt restless and bored.The theater where the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel, and the area around the hotel didn't seem particularly dangerous.So, I decided to brave it.I gathered up my wallet and room key and set off. It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted.I managed to find the street the theater was on, but when I turned the corner, I stopped in shock.In front of the theater were a group of bikers—very big, tough­looking bikers. I've known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people.However, in this case, I was a woman all alone, in a strange neighborhood, at night, and there were twenty or so very large men—all wearing insignia (徽章) that indicated they were in some sort of club—standing before me.Warning bells began to sound in my head, and my heart was pounding.Was I at the right theater? Had I misread the date of the event? A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the right evening.Nevertheless, I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel instead of walking through that crowd of bikers.I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theater.Hopefully, the bikers would have gone away by the time the film was over. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 I hurried into the theater, only to find there were even more bikers inside. When the film began, I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group. 【参考范文】 I hurried into the theater, only to find there were even more bikers inside. My heart sank as I eyed the dark hall.The bikers' leather jackets dominated the space.They seemed to fill every corner, chatting and laughing.I held my purse more tightly, trying to make myself as small as possible as I inched my way through them to buy a ticket.Their stares followed me, and I could feel my cheeks burning with nervousness.Every nerve urged me to run away, but I forced myself to stay, reminding me of the documentary I'd come to see. When the film began, I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group. As the opening scenes flashed on the screen, showcasing the incredible efforts of local shelters, I saw the bikers around me nodding in approval, their faces softened with compassion.They were here for the same reason as I was.During the film, I caught bits of their chats about past rescues and future plans.In the end, my fear transformed into admiration.As we all filed out, we shared smiles and I was left with a newfound respect for these unlikely heroes. 学生用书第48页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
