(2025·江西省新高三摸底考)Plants are known to respond to seasonal changes by budding (发芽), leafing, and flowering.As climate change stands to shift these socalled phenological (物候的) stages in the life cycle of plants, access to data about phenological changes—from many different locations and in different plants—can be used to draw conclusions about the actual consequences of climate change.
However, conducting such analyses require a large amount of data and data collection of this scale would be unthinkable without the help of citizen scientists.
“Mobile apps like Flora Incognita could help solve this issue.The app allows users to identify unknown wild plants within a matter of seconds.When I take a picture of a plant with the app, the observation is recorded with the exact location as well as a time stamp,” says the first author Karin Mora, a research fellow at Leipzig University.
Although satellite data also records the phenology of entire ecosystems from above, they do not provide information about the processes taking place on the ground.
The researchers developed an algorithm (算法) that draws on almost 10 million observations of nearly 3,000 plants species identified in Germany by users of Flora Incognita.The data show that each individual plant has its own cycle as to when it begins a flowering or growth phase.Furthermore, the scientists were able to show that group behaviour arises from the behaviour of individuals.From this, they were able to conclude ecological patterns and investigate how these change with the seasons.For example, ecosystems by rivers differ from those in the mountains, where phenological events start later.
It is known that climate change is causing seasonal shifts—for example, spring is arriving earlier and earlier.How this affects the relationship between plants and pollinating insects and therefore, potentially also food security, is still being subject to further research.The new algorithm can now be used to better analyse the effects of these changes on the plant world.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。一个研究小组开发了一种算法,这种算法可以分析来自Flora Incognita应用程序的观测数据,以判断气候变化对植物的影响。
4.What is the significance of data about phenological changes?
A.It can serve as the indicator of weather.
B.It can help people to select the best seeds.
C.It can show the actual effects of climate change.
D.It can be used to change the life cycle of plants.
C [细节理解题。根据第一段中“As climate change stands to shift these socalled phenological (物候的) stages in the life cycle of plants, access to data about phenological changes—from many different locations and in different plants—can be used to draw conclusions about the actual consequences of climate change.”可知,物候变化数据的意义在于它能反映气候变化的实际影响。故选C项。]
5.What does the underlined part “this issue” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Collecting data.
B.Sorting out species.
C.Identifying plants.
D.Checking climate change.
A [词句猜测题。根据第二段“However, conducting such analyses require a large amount of data and data collection of this scale would be unthinkable without the help of citizen scientists.”和画线部分的上文“像Flora Incognita这样的移动应用程序可以帮助解决”可知,文中先提到需要收集大规模的数据,然后提到如Flora Incognita这样的移动应用程序可以帮助解决,由此可知,程序解决的是收集数据的问题,画线部分指代的是收集数据。故选A项。]

(2025·安徽皖南八校联考)For many of us, pets are an important part of our family.1( ) Here are four things you should do to make sure your pet is ready for air travel.
Make sure your pet is vaccinated.2( ) But almost every destination requires pets like dogs and cats to have a vaccination.And the vaccination must usually be within less than a year.Be sure to talk to your vet about what other vaccinations your pet might need for your destination.
Find out if your pet needs to be microchipped.Many places require pet dogs and cats to be microchipped.The chip is about the size of a grain of rice, and is placed under the skin between the animal's shoulders.3( )
Get your pet comfortable with their carrier.Your pet will probably have to travel in a box or carrier while in the air.You should get them used to this environment before you fly, putting them in it regularly.4( ) Try putting the carrier in your car to get your pet used to the feeling of traveling in it.
5( ) So they don't need to go to the bathroom too much.Pet product company Chewy recommends not feeding your dog or cat for 4-6 hours before flying.This will also help make them less likely to throw up if they get motion sickness.
A.Avoid feeding your pet before flying.
B.Find ways to keep your pets off sickness.
C.Every country has its own rules for visiting animals.
D.Thus give them time to fall asleep there if possible.
E.And we certainly don't want to leave them behind when travelling.
F.It isn't easy for pets to get used to their new environment in the air.
G.If your pet gets lost, this microchip can be scanned to find your contact information.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共4小题,每小题2.5分,共10分)
(2025·广东六校二联)Researchers at the University of Exeter in England have crafted a device that employs artificial intelligence (AI) to detect Asian wasps(黄蜂).AI refers to the capability of computers to learn from experiences and execute tasks swiftly that would typically require a significant time investment from humans.
Asian wasps are considered an invasive species, indicating that they are not native to the UK and can disrupt our ecosystem—the environment and its living organisms.These wasps feed on local insects and pose a significant threat to honeybees with a single wasp capable of killing up to 50 honeybees in a day.
The innovative system, named VespAI, uses a sponge cloth soaked with a liquid that attracts wasps.Once the wasps are drawn in, an automatic camera takes pictures of them.The AI then analyzes the photos to determine whether the insect is an Asian wasp or a European wasp, which is a native species.
If an Asian wasp is spotted, a notification is sent right away to the researcher's phone or computer.VespAI acts as an earlywarning system, allowing for the detection of any Asian wasps that may have entered a new area of the UK.Its high precision helps authorities respond quickly to follow the wasps, find their nests, and get rid of them before they can reproduce.
There is growing concern among experts that Asian wasps may have made a lasting home in the UK rather than being merely transient or accidental arrivals.Currently, the UK's way of dealing with Asian wasps depends on people seeing them, recognizing them, and reporting them.However, many of these reports turn out to be other kinds of insects.
Dr.Thomas O'SheaWheller, who worked on VespAI, said this new system won't mistake other insects for Asian wasps or miss them when they come around.VespAI has been tested on the island of Jersey and will be tried in other places this year.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。研究人员发明了一款利用人工智能检测亚洲黄蜂的新设备VespAI,该设备可以快速而精准地检测到入侵物种亚洲黄蜂,从而保护当地的生态系统。
1.What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A.VespAI's design and operation.
B.The effectiveness of wasp traps.
C.VespAI's influence on the ecosystem.
D.Traditional wasp detecting methods.
A [段落大意题。第三段讲VespAI使用被浸泡了吸引黄蜂液体的海绵布。一旦黄蜂被吸引来,一台自动相机就会给它们拍照。然后,人工智能分析照片,确定昆虫是亚洲黄蜂还是本土物种欧洲黄蜂。由此可知,本段主要介绍了VespAI 的设计和操作。]
2.What does the underlined word “transient” mean in Paragraph 5?
A.Widespread. B.Temporary.
C.Frequent. D.Dangerous.
B [词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“rather than”可知,画线词与上文的 lasting“持久的”意思相反;再结合画线词后的“or accidental”可知,画线词与accidental“偶然的”的意思相近。故画线词的含义应与B项“短暂的”意思最为接近。]
3.Which statement would Dr.Thomas probably agree with?
A.VespAI will help manage wasp invasions.
B.VespAI requires constant human inspection.
C.The current reporting system is highly effective.
D.The current methods fail to identify Asian wasps.
A [推理判断题。根据题干中的Dr.Thomas将答案定位在最后一段。Dr.Thomas说VespAI不会把其他昆虫误认为是亚洲黄蜂,也不会在它们来的时候错过它们。由此可知,Dr.Thomas 认为VespAI可以有效帮助检测入侵物种亚洲黄蜂,从而抵御其入侵。故选A。B项“VespAI需要持续的人工检查”;C项“目前的报告制度非常有效”;D项“目前的方法无法识别亚洲黄蜂”。]
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.AI Disrupts the Survival of Insects
B.The Threat of Asian Wasps to Bees
C.AI Technology Boosts Wasp Detection
D.The Impact of AI on Insect Identification
C [标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是第一段第一句话“Researchers...have crafted a device that employs artificial intelligence (AI) to detect Asian wasps(黄蜂)”可知,本文主要介绍了研究人员发明了一款利用人工智能检测入侵物种亚洲黄蜂的新设备VespAI,故C项“人工智能技术提高黄蜂检测能力”最适合作本文标题。A项“人工智能扰乱昆虫的生存”;B项“亚洲黄蜂对蜜蜂的威胁”;D项“人工智能对昆虫识别的影响”。]

(2025·浙江省新阵地教育联盟高三第一次联考)The Atbai Desert, a part of the Sahara Desert, is one of the 1 (dry) places on Earth, with a sandy and barren landscape that averages almost zero millimeters of rainfall each year.So, archaeologists were surprised when they discovered rock art showing boats and cattle in an area 2 is 60 miles away from the closest body of water.
“It was surprising to find cattle 3 (carve) on desert rock walls as they require plenty of water and wideopen grassland, and would not survive in Sahara today,” said Julien Cooper, an archaeologist from Macquarie University.“The discovery of boat
4 (image) in the rock art this distant from lakes and rivers was also surprising.”
Archaeologists believe the discovery provides clear evidence supporting the theory of
5 once “Green Sahara” around 3,000 B.C.E.During this period, the area was a grassy plain with lakes and rivers 6 (sustain) a variety of wildlife and human activities such as cattle herding.However, changes in African monsoon(季风)patterns transformed the Sahara 7 the barren desert we see today.8 (current), only hardy animals like camels and goats can survive there.
The rock art's detailed carvings suggest that the creators spent plenty of time in the area further indicating that the region 9 (be) once supportive of human life.As the climate grew unforgiving many residents were forced to migrate closer to the Nile, contributing to the formation of early urban states and culture in Egypt and Nubia.The discovery offers valuable insight into the changes that 10 (occur) in the Sahara over the past thousands of years.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。本文主要介绍了在Atbai沙漠里发现的岩画上有船和牛的图像,这为研究撒哈拉沙漠千百年来的发展和演变提供了宝贵见解。
1.driest [考查形容词最高级。此处考查固定表达“one of the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”,意为“最……的……之一”,故填driest。句意:Atbai沙漠是撒哈拉沙漠的一部分,是地球上最干旱的地方之一,一派沙漠荒凉景象,平均年降雨量几乎为零毫米。]
2.that/which [考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导限制性定语从句。先行词是表示物的名词area,从句中缺少主语,所以空处需要填that/which。句意:因此,当考古学家在距离最近水域60英里的地方发现有船只和牛的岩画时,他们感到惊讶。]
3.carved [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,本句的谓语动词是was,空处在句中作非谓语,修饰空前的名词cattle,二者之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系,故填过去分词形式carved。句意:麦考瑞大学的考古学家Julien Cooper说,“在沙漠岩壁上发现牛的雕刻(图像)令人惊讶,因为它们需要大量的水和广阔的草地,而它们在今天的撒哈拉是无法生存的”。]
4.images [考查名词复数。根据第一段中的“discovered rock art showing boats and cattle”可知,岩画上有一些船的图像,空处没有冠词修饰,表示泛指,因此这里应该是复数概念,故填images。句意:在如此远离湖泊和河流的地方发现船只图像的岩画也同样令人惊讶。]
5.a [考查冠词。空处修饰名词“Green Sahara”,表示泛指,且空后once的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。句意:考古学家认为,这一发现为公元前3 000年左右曾经有一个“绿色撒哈拉”的理论提供了明确的证据。]
6.sustaining [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处考查with的复合结构,sustain作宾语补足语,与宾语“lakes and rivers”之间形成了主动关系,故填sustaining。句意:这一时期,该地区曾是一片有湖泊和河流的草原,维系着各种野生动物和人类活动,如牧牛。]
7.into [考查介词。根据空前的“transformed the Sahara”和空后的“the barren desert”可知,此处是说把撒哈拉转变成了现在我们看到的一片荒漠。transform...into...意为“将……转化为……”,故填into。句意:然而,非洲季风模式的变化使撒哈拉变成了我们今天所见的荒漠。]
8.Currently [考查副词。分析句子结构可知,此处考查副词修饰整个句子,空处位于句首,首字母大写,故填Currently。句意:目前,只有像骆驼和山羊这样的耐旱动物能够在那里生存。]
9.was [考查动词的时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作宾语从句的谓语,根据从句中的once可知,此处描述过去的情况,时态用一般过去时,从句主语the region是第三人称单数,故填was。句意:岩画中细致的雕刻图案表明创作者在这一地区花费了大量时间,这进一步表明该地区曾经支持人类生活。]
10.have occurred [考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空前的that引导定语从句,修饰先行词changes,空处作定语从句的谓语动词。根据时间状语“over the past thousands of years”可知,从句时态用现在完成时。故填have occurred。句意:这一发现为过去数千年撒哈拉发生的变化提供了宝贵的见解。]
