第二部分 阅读理解(每题2.5分,共计50分)
A
Spring is the perfect time to grow things. Try one or more of these plant experiments for fun and learning.
Color carnations (康乃馨)
Fill a vase or glass with water and color the water with food coloring. Add a white carnation stalk and watch the plant become colorful as it “drinks” the colored water. This is a great short experiment to demonstrate how plants take in water.
Root for root vegetables
Find out how root vegetables form underground by planting them in a clear container. Clear jars are perfect for this, but a clear vase or other containers work just as well. First, fill the bottom of the container with small stones. Next, add potting soil. Plant root vegetable seeds in each jar. Keep the soil wet and enjoy watching the root form. Best of all, when the vegetable is done growing, you can eat it.
Study speedy sunflowers
Sunflower seeds sprout and grow rapidly, making this the perfect flower for impatient children and a classic preschool activity. These seeds can be started just about anywhere, even in a paper coffee cup or yogurt container. Kids love seeing the plant push its way out of the soil, wearing the seed skin like a hat! Move your plant to a flower pot after sprouting to observe the flower as it forms.
Make a grass basket
Grass is another seed that grows fast Make a living basket by lining a basket with plastic and filling it with potting soil. Put grass seeds on top and lightly mist them with water daily.
Growing plants is a great way to enjoy some learning — and a little sunshine — in your daily routine. Try any of these inexpensive garden experiments for a fun project.
1. Which experiment should you choose if you want to see how plants absorb water?
A. Color carnations. B. Make a grass basket.

It’s never too late to fulfill your dreams. After more than half a century since his last class at the University of Cincinnati (UC), Paul Blom, 93, walked alongside other students at the university’s official graduation ceremony in December, 2019, where he received an associate’s degree.
The World War Ⅱ veteran (老兵) first enrolled at the university in 1946, after returning home from serving in the Navy for three years. “I came down to UC thinking I was going to go to school, but you know, it was late, it was almost August, and there was no room for me,” Blom told WCPOTV.
Blom enrolled in UC’s evening college program where he took night classes in traffic management for nine years. But as he became more involved with his family’s trucking business, he decided to stop attending. “You know, it kind of slipped by,” he said. “I think I only lacked maybe two courses for some reason or another. I just didn’t ever go back and finish that.”
Back in May, Blom’s daughter, Paula Baxter, reached UC to see if her father could receive an honorary degree and the university found that it could offer him much more. After discovering that Blom received more than enough credits to be qualified for an associate’s degree through UC Blue Ash College, a regional college within the University of Cincinnati, university officials were able to issue him with the associate’s degree he had earned in full all those years ago.
“It’s very inspirational to see a part of the Greatest Generation receive his degree and be a part of this ceremony,” said Terence Harrison, program manager of Veterans Programs and Services, according to the university website. “It just goes to show that you’re never too old to see your dreams fulfilled.”
4. How old was Paul Blom when he began to serve in the Navy?
A. 17. B. 21.
C. 25. D. 27.
5. Why did Paul Blom give up night classes?
A. Traffic management was not suitable for him.
B. Traffic management took too many years.
C. He wasn’t interested in two courses for some reason.
D. He had no time to spare for the classes.
6. Which of the following can best describe Paul Blom according to Terence Harrison?
A. Humorous. B. Reliable.
C. Inspiring. D. Intelligent.
7. What lesson can we get from Paul Blom?
A. Knowledge is power.
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Pride goes before a fall.
D. Never let age limit your dreams.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Paul Blom在其93岁高龄时和其他大学生一起参加毕业典礼。他的故事给了我们很大的启发:只要有心,实现梦想永远都不会太迟。

Five years ago, French navy officer Jérôme Chardon was listening to a radio program about the journey of the bar-tailed godwit, a bird that migrates 14,000 kilometers between New Zealand and Alaska. Chardon understood how treacherous the journey would be, as heavy storms frequently hit Pacific island communities. Yet, somehow, bar-tailed godwits routinely pass through the area uninjured. Chardon wondered whether learning how birds traveled could help coastal communities avoid natural disasters.
This past January, a team from France’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) began experiments designed to test Chardon’s idea. Researchers with a project led by Frédéric Jigue t from NMNH equipped 56 birds of five species with cutting- edge animal tracking technology. The team members were ferried to remote islands in French Polynesia, where they attached tags (标签) using tracking technology. These tags sent the birds’ locations to the International Space Station, which sent the data back to scientists on Earth who could then follow the birds — waiting to see how the birds responded to natural disasters.
The project is focusing on birds’ ability to hear the low-frequency sound humans cannot hear. Researchers believe it is most likely that signal birds would use the sound to sense storms and tsunamis (海啸). In a 2014 study, scientists tracking a kind of golden-winged birds in the central and southeastern America found that the birds flew up to 1,500 kilometers to escape from an outbreak of tornadoes that killed 35 people. The birds fled at least 24 hours before any extreme weather hit, leaving the scientists to believe that they had heard the storm system from more than 400 kilometers away.
The team plans on tagging hundreds more birds across the Pacific to prepare for a potential tsunami.“I think if there’s one wave that spreads across islands, we can get data from different species at different locations,” says Jiguet. “That will say it’s worth continuing to tag and to develop local systems to better analyze this. There are chances that we will develop a bird-based tsunami early warning system.”
8. Which of the following best explains the word “treacherous” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Strange. B. Risky. C. Unknown. D. Frequent.
9. What is the function of the tags?
A. Reporting the birds’ situations. B. Distinguishing bird species.
C. Tracking natural disasters. D. Guiding researchers to islands.
10. Why is the 2014 study mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To explain a concept. B. To prove an assumption.
C. To present a new topic. D. To make comparisons.
11. What might be the best title for the text?
A. How Can Birds Avoid Natural Disasters?
B. How Does a Warning System Function?
C. Can Birds Warn Us of Natural Disasters?
D. Can Birds Play a Role in Human Research?
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过跟踪鸟类迁徙来预警自然灾害的研究项目。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段的“Five years ago, French navy officer Jérôme Chardon was listening to a radio program about the journey of the bar-tailed godwit, a bird that migrates 14,000 kilometers between New Zealand and Alaska.(五年前,法国海军军官Jérôme Chardon正在收听一个关于斑尾塍鹬的迁徙之旅的广播节目,这种鸟会从新西兰飞往阿拉斯加,迁徙距离达到14,000公里)”以及划线单词的后半句话“as heavy storms frequently hit Pacific island communities.(由于经常性的风暴袭击太平洋岛屿社区)”可知,太平洋岛屿社区经常受到风暴袭击,所以鸟类迁徙经过这里时会非常的危险。所以划线单词意为“危险的”。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“These tags sent the birds’ locations to the International Space Station, which sent the data back to scientists on Earth who could then follow the birds — waiting to see how the birds responded to natural disasters.(这些标签将鸟类的位置发送到国际空间站,后者再将数据传回地球上的科学家,科学家们随后可以跟踪这些鸟类,观察它们如何应对自然灾害)”可知,这些标签的功能是报告鸟类的位置和情况。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The project is focusing on birds’ ability to hear the low-frequency sound humans cannot hear. Researchers believe it is most likely that signal birds would use the sound to sense storms and tsunamis (海啸). In a 2014 study, scientists tracking a kind of golden-winged birds in the central and southeastern America found that the birds flew up to 1,500 kilometers to escape from an outbreak of tornadoes that killed 35 people. The birds fled at least 24 hours before any extreme weather hit, leaving the scientists to believe that they had heard the storm system from more than 400 kilometers away.(该项目专注于鸟类听觉低频声音的能力,而这种声音人类是听不到的。研究人员相信,鸟类最有可能利用这种声音来感知风暴和海啸。在2014年的一项研究中,科学家们追踪了中美和东南美洲的一种金翅鸟,发现这些鸟为了躲避一场造成35人死亡的龙卷风爆发,飞行了多达1500公里。这些鸟在任何极端天气袭击前至少24小时逃离,让科学家们相信他们从400多公里外听到了风暴系统的声音)”可推知,提到2014年的研究是为了证明一个假设,即鸟类能够感知即将到来的风暴并提前逃离。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全段,尤其是第一段的“Chardon wondered whether learning how birds traveled could help coastal communities avoid natural disasters.(Chardon想知道,了解鸟类是如何迁徙的是否能够帮助沿海社区避开自然灾害)”可知,文章主要探讨的是鸟类能否通过感知自然灾害来预警人类。所以“鸟类能警告我们自然灾害吗?”适合作本文的标题。故选C。
D
My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.
And after seeking out these experiences during a three-week stay, we found mālama not only improves Hawaii, but it also made our time there much more meaningful.
Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. In some cases, travelers booking with partnering hotels and participating in designated activities will qualify for a discounted — or even free — night at dozens of hotels and resorts.
“Mālama today is more vital than ever,” our guide Rogers said. “Too many tourists walk carelessly on our land, ignoring restrictions and damaging sensitive ecosystems... don’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared responsibility.” As Rogers explained, mālama isn’t just about seeing or appreciating a landscape; it invites visitors to connect and contribute to it, with the idea that caring for a place fosters a stronger relationship with it.
After eight days, we ventured to Molokai, Hawaii’s least developed island. No resorts or chain stores spoiled its wild beauty — just dramatic cliffs meeting rough seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations. His simple off-grid life perfectly embodied mālama. Greg welcomed us warmly before leading us through jungle-covered ruins of ancestral villages. As we approached, his son Devak blew a conch shell — a traditional request to enter. “The land remembers,” Greg explained, showing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spots. His parting words stayed with me: “Mālama shouldn’t be just Hawaiian — the whole world needs this way of caring.”
12. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By giving examples.
C. By explaining a concept. D. By providing statistics.
13. What can Mālama volunteers experience in Hawaii?
A. Developing Maunalua Bay. B. Reviving local forests.
C. Asking for hotel discounts. D. Organizing big activities.
14. What do we know about Greg Solatario’s family?
A. They built new resorts in the wild. B. They have long protected the land.
C. They offered guided tours to locals. D. They fixed up the old village ruins.
15. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip in Hawaii?
A. The wise improve what they enjoy.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. God helps those who help themselves.
D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者一家在夏威夷旅行时,接触到古老的夏威夷“mālama(关爱)”理念,通过参与栖息地修复、森林恢复等相关志愿活动,既为当地环境和社区作出贡献,也让自身旅行更具意义,还介绍了不同岛屿的mālama实践及当地人对该理念的解读。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.(在这里,我们了解到古老的夏威夷“mālama(关爱)”理念,该理念鼓励游客通过栖息地修复、海滩清理或物资供给等活动,回馈环境和当地社区。但mālama不止于生态旅游——它意味着让一个地方比你发现它时更好。)”可知,作者在第一段围绕mālama理念,先介绍其定义,再说明其内涵,是通过解释概念来呈现主题的。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay.(在夏威夷群岛,随处可见mālama志愿者体验活动。例如在毛伊岛,您可以参与修复原生森林,或在植物苗圃担任志愿者;而在瓦胡岛,游客可以清理马努努阿湾的入侵藻类。)”可知,mālama志愿者能参与恢复当地森林的活动。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations.(我们见到了格雷格・索拉塔里奥,他的家族世世代代都在照料这片土地。)”可知,格雷格的家族长期保护这片土地。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合第一段中“My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.(我们全家在夏威夷旅行时,接触到了古老的“mālama(关爱)”理念。这个概念倡导游客通过修复生态栖息地、清洁海滩、捐赠食物等方式回馈当地环境与社区。但mālama的内涵远不止于生态旅游——其核心在于让每个到访之地因你的到来而变得更加美好)”可知,文章核心是作者一家践行mālama理念,通过志愿活动让夏威夷(他们所喜爱的旅行地)变得更好,同时自身旅行也更有意义,体现“改善所喜爱的事物”的内涵。选项 A“The wise improve what they enjoy(智者会改善他们所喜爱的事物)”符合这一主旨。故选A。

考查形容词最高级。句意:在过去的几十年里,中国创造了世界上最大的人工林之一,森林覆盖率从12%上升到24.02%。此处为:one of+形容词最高级+名词复数,表示“最……之一”,large的最高级为largest。故填largest。
【37题详解】

【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:2019年发表在《自然·可持续发展》杂志上的一项研究显示,全球至少25%的植被扩张是由中国造成的。修饰动词come用副词globally,故填globally。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:2022年,中国林业和草原产业总产值达到83700亿元。结合句意可知,此处的value为特指,指的是“中国林业和草原产业”的总价值,所以此处使用定冠词the。故填the。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:保护国家的森林能够促进绿色低碳发展,从而为世界带来诸多益处。作句子的主语用动名词形式,首字母大写。故填Protecting。
【41题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:2019年,该国的森林保护法进行了修订,并于2020年正式生效。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语In 2019可知,此处应为一般过去时,revise与主语the country’s law之间为被动关系,所以此处使用一般过去时的被动语态,谓语用单数。故填was revised。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:在中国取得显著绿色成就的背后,是造林和治沙技术的进步。该句为倒装句,此处为名词作主语,advance意为“进步”,根据谓语动词are可知,此处应为名词复数形式。故填advances。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:“中国政府所采取的科学有效的防控措施极大地改善了这个县,这让我看到了改善家乡环境的希望。”来自甘肃民勤的一位农民说道。此处为形容词作定语修饰名词短语“prevention and control methods”,science的形容词为scientific意为“科学的”,与形容词effective为并列关系。故填scientific。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:“中国政府所采取的科学有效的防控措施极大地改善了这个县,这让我看到了改善家乡环境的希望。”来自甘肃民勤的一位农民说道。此处非限制性定语从句修饰上文句子,从句缺少主语,故填which。

A. sat watching B. where it sat watching as
C. sitting and watching D. it sat and watched as
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和时间状语从句。句意:送完消息后,猫头鹰邮差扇动翅膀飞到窗边,一边坐着看着,邓布利多教授一边展开信件开始阅读。Professor Dumbledore unfolded the letter and started reading是完整的句子,再结合选项可知,应用as引导构成时间状语从句。同时先行词为the window,在定语从句中作地点状语,关系代词为where。watch为非谓语动词,与it为主动关系,用现在分词做状语。故选B项。
47. The first light of _______ crept over the hills, painting the sky in _______ of gold and rose.

48. —Do you think it _______ to argue with them?
—The question is not worth _______.
A. worthy; to be discussed B. worthwhile; discussing
C. worthwhile; to discuss D. worth; to be discussed
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词和短语结构。句意:——你认为和他们争论有意义吗?——这个问题不值得讨论。第一空中it作形式宾语,构成think it+形容词+to do sth.,其中worth/worthy作形容词时不能作宾语补足语,表示“值得的”用worthwhile;同时第二空中构成固定短语be worth doing,意为“值得做某事”,使用动名词作宾语,且使用主动形式表示被动意义,所以第二空中表示“不值得讨论”用is not worth discussing。故选B。
49. —Hey! Here is a message on my cellphone, telling me that I have won the prize of a weekend for two in Rome.
—Be careful ! It’s a trick. Many a person _______ by such tricks.

【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:——嘿!我的手机上有一条消息,告诉我我赢得了罗马双人周末游的奖励。——小心!这是个骗局,许多人被这样的骗局欺骗过。空处所在句强调“许多人已经被此类骗局欺骗过”,提醒对方要小心,故该句表示过去发生的动作对现在的影响,应用现在完成时;主语是“Many a person”,表示“许多人”,谓语动词应用单数形式。故选C。
50. The only way to discover the limits of the possible is ______ beyond them into the impossible.
A. go B. going C. to go D. gone
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:发现可能性的限度的唯一方法是越过限度,进入不可能之域。分析句子成分可知,谓语动词为be动词is,所以空处需要填非谓语的形式作表语,即不定式to do或动名词doing的形式。不定式作表语通常表示一个特定动作或未发生的动作,动名词作表语表示已经发生的或经常性发生的动作。结合句意可知,“超越限度、进入不可能的领域”并不属于经常发生或已经发生的动作,而是一个特定的动作,所以用to do形式。故选C项。
51. —Why do you look so upset, Linda?
—There are so many troublesome problems____.
A. remaining settled B. remaining to be settled
C. remained to settle D. remained to be settled
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配和非谓语动词。句意:——琳达,你为什么不开心?——(因为)有许多棘手的问题有待解决。固定搭配 remain to be done,待处理、待完成,problems与之是逻辑上的主谓关系,表示主动,用现在分词作后置定语,故选B。

53. The plane has been kept in service far longer than ______ intended.
A. originally B. basically C. incredibly D. literally
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意:这架飞机的服役时间远远超过原定计划。A. originally起初,原来;B. basically基本上,大体上;C. incredibly难以置信地。非常;D. literally真正地,确实。此处指的是“飞机的服役时间长”,所以应该是超过起初,预定的计划。故选A。

【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:在这个特定场景中,我看到了一个脚踝肿胀的小女孩。A. spot看见,发现(指偶然或突然看到某物或某人);B. detect察觉,探测(指通过仔细观察或仪器发现不易察觉的事物,如气味、故障等);C. investigate调查,研究;D. inspect检查,审视。结合“a small girl whose ankle is swollen”可知,空格处需表达“偶然看到”小女孩的含义,用spot。故选A。

56. ______ the children tracked mud all over them again.
A. No sooner did he sweep the floors clean than B. Hardly had he sweep the floors clean when
C. Barely he had swept the floors clean than D. Scarcely had he swept the floors clean when
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型、倒装结构和时态。句意:他刚把地板扫干净,孩子们又把泥弄得满地都是。sweep the floors“打扫地板”,根据句中tracked可知,句子描述过去的情况,且结合语意,“打扫地板”这一动作发生在tracked之前,为“过去的过去”,应用过去完成时had done结构,A项使用一般过去时,错误;no sooner...than...,hardly...when...,barely...when...,scarcely...when...均表示“一……就……”,将no sooner,hardly,barely,scarcely置于句首时,句子需使用部分倒装结构,将助动词/be动词/情态动词提到主语之前,谓语动词的剩余部分放在主语之后,C项搭配错误且未使用倒装结构,错误;B项调整语序后谓语为had sweep,本身错误;D项调整语序后谓语为had swept,为过去完成时,且had提到主语之前,swept仍在主语之后,结构正确。故选D项。

A
Spring is the perfect time to grow things. Try one or more of these plant experiments for fun and learning.
Color carnations (康乃馨)
Fill a vase or glass with water and color the water with food coloring. Add a white carnation stalk and watch the plant become colorful as it “drinks” the colored water. This is a great short experiment to demonstrate how plants take in water.
Root for root vegetables
Find out how root vegetables form underground by planting them in a clear container. Clear jars are perfect for this, but a clear vase or other containers work just as well. First, fill the bottom of the container with small stones. Next, add potting soil. Plant root vegetable seeds in each jar. Keep the soil wet and enjoy watching the root form. Best of all, when the vegetable is done growing, you can eat it.
Study speedy sunflowers
Sunflower seeds sprout and grow rapidly, making this the perfect flower for impatient children and a classic preschool activity. These seeds can be started just about anywhere, even in a paper coffee cup or yogurt container. Kids love seeing the plant push its way out of the soil, wearing the seed skin like a hat! Move your plant to a flower pot after sprouting to observe the flower as it forms.
Make a grass basket
Grass is another seed that grows fast Make a living basket by lining a basket with plastic and filling it with potting soil. Put grass seeds on top and lightly mist them with water daily.
Growing plants is a great way to enjoy some learning — and a little sunshine — in your daily routine. Try any of these inexpensive garden experiments for a fun project.
1. Which experiment should you choose if you want to see how plants absorb water?

It’s never too late to fulfill your dreams. After more than half a century since his last class at the University of Cincinnati (UC), Paul Blom, 93, walked alongside other students at the university’s official graduation ceremony in December, 2019, where he received an associate’s degree.
The World War Ⅱ veteran (老兵) first enrolled at the university in 1946, after returning home from serving in the Navy for three years. “I came down to UC thinking I was going to go to school, but you know, it was late, it was almost August, and there was no room for me,” Blom told WCPOTV.
Blom enrolled in UC’s evening college program where he took night classes in traffic management for nine years. But as he became more involved with his family’s trucking business, he decided to stop attending. “You know, it kind of slipped by,” he said. “I think I only lacked maybe two courses for some reason or another. I just didn’t ever go back and finish that.”
Back in May, Blom’s daughter, Paula Baxter, reached UC to see if her father could receive an honorary degree and the university found that it could offer him much more. After discovering that Blom received more than enough credits to be qualified for an associate’s degree through UC Blue Ash College, a regional college within the University of Cincinnati, university officials were able to issue him with the associate’s degree he had earned in full all those years ago.
“It’s very inspirational to see a part of the Greatest Generation receive his degree and be a part of this ceremony,” said Terence Harrison, program manager of Veterans Programs and Services, according to the university website. “It just goes to show that you’re never too old to see your dreams fulfilled.”
4. How old was Paul Blom when he began to serve in the Navy?
A. 17. B. 21.
C. 25. D. 27.
5. Why did Paul Blom give up night classes?
A. Traffic management was not suitable for him.
B. Traffic management took too many years.
C. He wasn’t interested in two courses for some reason.
D. He had no time to spare for the classes.
6. Which of the following can best describe Paul Blom according to Terence Harrison?
A. Humorous. B. Reliable.
C. Inspiring. D. Intelligent.
7. What lesson can we get from Paul Blom?
A. Knowledge is power.
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Pride goes before a fall.
D. Never let age limit your dreams.
C
Five years ago, French navy officer Jérôme Chardon was listening to a radio program about the journey of the bar-tailed godwit, a bird that migrates 14,000 kilometers between New Zealand and Alaska. Chardon understood how treacherous the journey would be, as heavy storms frequently hit Pacific island communities. Yet, somehow, bar-tailed godwits routinely pass through the area uninjured. Chardon wondered whether learning how birds traveled could help coastal communities avoid natural disasters.
This past January, a team from France’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) began experiments designed to test Chardon’s idea. Researchers with a project led by Frédéric Jigue t from NMNH equipped 56 birds of five species with cutting- edge animal tracking technology. The team members were ferried to remote islands in French Polynesia, where they attached tags (标签) using tracking technology. These tags sent the birds’ locations to the International Space Station, which sent the data back to scientists on Earth who could then follow the birds — waiting to see how the birds responded to natural disasters.
The project is focusing on birds’ ability to hear the low-frequency sound humans cannot hear. Researchers believe it is most likely that signal birds would use the sound to sense storms and tsunamis (海啸). In a 2014 study, scientists tracking a kind of golden-winged birds in the central and southeastern America found that the birds flew up to 1,500 kilometers to escape from an outbreak of tornadoes that killed 35 people. The birds fled at least 24 hours before any extreme weather hit, leaving the scientists to believe that they had heard the storm system from more than 400 kilometers away.
The team plans on tagging hundreds more birds across the Pacific to prepare for a potential tsunami.“I think if there’s one wave that spreads across islands, we can get data from different species at different locations,” says Jiguet. “That will say it’s worth continuing to tag and to develop local systems to better analyze this. There are chances that we will develop a bird-based tsunami early warning system.”
8. Which of the following best explains the word “treacherous” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Strange. B. Risky. C. Unknown. D. Frequent.
9. What is the function of the tags?
A. Reporting the birds’ situations. B. Distinguishing bird species.
C. Tracking natural disasters. D. Guiding researchers to islands.
10. Why is the 2014 study mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To explain a concept. B. To prove an assumption.
C. To present a new topic. D. To make comparisons.
11. What might be the best title for the text?
A. How Can Birds Avoid Natural Disasters?
B. How Does a Warning System Function?
C. Can Birds Warn Us of Natural Disasters?
D. Can Birds Play a Role in Human Research?
D
My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.
And after seeking out these experiences during a three-week stay, we found mālama not only improves Hawaii, but it also made our time there much more meaningful.
Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. In some cases, travelers booking with partnering hotels and participating in designated activities will qualify for a discounted — or even free — night at dozens of hotels and resorts.
“Mālama today is more vital than ever,” our guide Rogers said. “Too many tourists walk carelessly on our land, ignoring restrictions and damaging sensitive ecosystems... don’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared responsibility.” As Rogers explained, mālama isn’t just about seeing or appreciating a landscape; it invites visitors to connect and contribute to it, with the idea that caring for a place fosters a stronger relationship with it.
After eight days, we ventured to Molokai, Hawaii’s least developed island. No resorts or chain stores spoiled its wild beauty — just dramatic cliffs meeting rough seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations. His simple off-grid life perfectly embodied mālama. Greg welcomed us warmly before leading us through jungle-covered ruins of ancestral villages. As we approached, his son Devak blew a conch shell — a traditional request to enter. “The land remembers,” Greg explained, showing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spots. His parting words stayed with me: “Mālama shouldn’t be just Hawaiian — the whole world needs this way of caring.”
12. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By giving examples.
C. By explaining a concept. D. By providing statistics.
13. What can Mālama volunteers experience in Hawaii?
A. Developing Maunalua Bay. B. Reviving local forests.
C. Asking for hotel discounts. D. Organizing big activities.
14. What do we know about Greg Solatario’s family?
A. They built new resorts in the wild. B. They have long protected the land.
C. They offered guided tours to locals. D. They fixed up the old village ruins.
15. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip in Hawaii?
A. The wise improve what they enjoy.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. God helps those who help themselves.
D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
E
