(2025·苏州模拟)As a mushroom scientist, you are vastly
outnumbered, with estimates suggesting that there are between 2.2
million and 3.8 million species of fungi (真菌), the majority of which
are yet to be identified.However, professionals in the field are not alone
in their efforts to uncover new species.An enthusiastic community of
amateurs has emerged, bridging the gap between professionals and non-
professionals.These amateurs have even made significant discoveries.One
such amateur is Taylor Lockwood, a 74-year-old mushroom enthusiast
and professional photographer.

In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, Taylor
Lockwood developed a fascination with mushrooms.“Outside my cottage
were these amazing mushrooms,” he says.“And it was as if these
mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world
how pretty we are.’” Lockwood answered their call and purchased
camera equipment to capture their true nature.His passion for
photographing mushrooms was so intense that he would even dig holes
next to the mushrooms to get the perfect angle for his shots.

In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered
an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white
gloves.Upon deeper investigation, fungi researcher Amy Rossman
confirmed that it was a “hazel glove” mushroom, which is a rare
find.“Mushrooms are not like plants,” Rossman says.“They don’t
come up at the same time every year, and so sometimes it can be decades
between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so
valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest
with a trained eye.

A few years ago, Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos
weren’t sufficient, so he chose to create time-lapse (延时拍摄的)
videos of mushrooms.“When I do time-lapse, I see so much life
happening around the mushrooms — insects, worms and other small
creatures interacting with them,” he says.Lockwood’s love for art is
evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time.Although he
appreciates the scientific aspect of his work, he identifies himself as an
artist at heart.

James Rainey reads trees like most people read signposts.The senior
ecologist is using a small hand camera to identify a lichen (地衣) that is
surrounding the base of wild pines (松树) in a deep narrow valley on
the west coast of Scotland.He is looking for ecological clues of species
associated with the ancient Caledonian Forest, which once covered most
of the Highlands.
高中总复习·英语(译林版)
Wild pines have been growing in Scotland continuously since the ice
age, offering a globally unique ecosystem supporting rare wildlife.But
now less than 2% of the original growth survives, with just 14 individual
Caledonian pinewood sites now officially recognized.“To meet the
demand for more wood, many wild pines in Highlands have been
removed to make room for commercial forestry,” says Rainey.“This
was often done in ancient woodlands and was really damaging to the
remaining trees.”
高中总复习·英语(译林版)
But restoration is still possible, especially since some old trees still
survive along with the ancient woodland soil and seedbank — seeds stored
in the soil, which can grow once the heavy shade of commercial conifers
(针叶树) is removed.
The ecological investigator uses three clues of evidence to discover
where these pinewoods first stood.“First there’s the historical
evidence, like old maps and texts.Then comes the landscape context: is
the pine associated with planting around a big house, or is the setting
more natural? And finally I use the ecological evidence: wild pine
usually grow alongside old birch trees, which indicates ecological
continuity,” explains Rainey.

Rainey has identified 23 pines in this area, all rooted in places least
accessible.Their needles have been taken for genetic testing to confirm
their family trees.“This would have been filled with trees but is now
empty — these are the most critical areas in need of regeneration and we
want the whole of the ancient woodlands to recover, not just the
pines,” he said.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
The harsh winters and modern cities can make life tough for a wild
animal, especially when they get lost and are outside their natural habitat
for too long.Animal shelters are crowded with animals in desperate need
of help, especially during the winter season.9.( )
One day, a man found a small owl (猫头鹰) that was soaking
wet and appeared to be struggling.He brought it into a local shelter.10.
( ) The little owl was unable to fly, not because of an injury, but
because it was too fat.
高中总复习·英语(译林版)
The owl weighed 245 grams, which was 33% more than the upper
limit of what an owl that size should weigh.The reason for the weight gain
was quite natural.The owl was eating too much.The winter had been
unusually warm, and as a result, the area had a higher than normal
population of mice.11.( ) So it got carried away.
The shelter staff put the owl on a systematic plan of diet and
exercise, and it started to lose weight quickly.After some time, the owl
was back to its normal health and was released back into the wild.

The question of whether this obesity issue is a strange result of
climate change or just a coincidence (巧合) is difficult to say.12.
( ) Wild animals are not used to living in modern cities, and they
often struggle to survive.Luckily, there are many animal shelters that
offer refuge for these animals.These shelters help restore them to their
natural condition and put them back into the wild.
13. ( ) Some focus on specific animals, such as owls,
while others focus on a particular region.However, they all have the
same goal — to provide a safe haven for wild animals.
高中总复习·英语(译林版)
A. Different types of animal shelters have different purposes.
B. Animal shelters are not just a place for injured or sick animals.
C. This meant that it was like an all-you-can-eat buffet for the little owl.
D. They are really important when animals struggle to survive in cold
weather.
E. After a thorough check-up, the shelter staff found out that it was not
injured at all.
F. However, it is clear that it is vital to care for wild animals and to
ensure their safety.
G. However, recently, a wild animal was brought to a shelter for a very
different reason.
