基于高考外刊源文设计单元主题作业 ---环境与自然 -2026届高三英语一轮复习专项

基于高考外刊源文设计单元主题作业 ——环境与自然 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A Every year, many howler monkeys and other wild animals in Costa Rica are dying because of unprotected power lines and transformers. As more luxury homes are built for rich foreigners, more monkeys are dying because they cannot tell the difference between electric wires and natural vines. Costa Rica is known for being one of the most environmentally friendly countries in the world, with almost all of its electricity coming from renewable sources. This reputation, along with its natural beauty, has attracted many people like tech entrepreneurs, investors, and celebrities who have chosen Costa Rica as their escape. However, building homes that meet their needs has come with a high cost to the wildlife that first attracted visitors. The problem is worse because building permits are given without proper studies. A tangled mess of wires and transformers connects these homes and resorts to the power grid. Power outages happen often when howler monkeys cause short circuits while crossing transformers. The problem is especially bad in areas where forests are cut down, leaving the animals no choice but to travel on the wires. A group of animal experts at the University of Costa Rica created rope bridges between treetops to give howler monkeys a safe way to cross in a forest near Playa Hermosa, three hours north. This helped the monkey population double there between 2015 and 2021 and may offer a solution if used in other places. By protecting the natural paths of these animals and ensuring that building projects include safety measures, Costa Rica can continue to be a leader in ecological conservation while also meeting the needs of its growing population. 1. What is the main reason for the death of howler monkeys in Costa Rica? A. Lack of food. B. Attacks from other animals. C. Dangerous power lines. D. New diseases. 2. Why have many wealthy foreigners moved to Costa Rica? A. For its business opportunities. B. For its clean energy and beautiful nature. C. For its modern cities. D. For its low cost of living. 3. How did the rope bridges help the howler monkeys? A. They provided food for the monkeys. B. They protected monkeys from hunters. C. They offered a safe way to travel. D. They supplied clean energy. 4. What is the author's main suggestion for Costa Rica? A. To stop building new homes. B. To move all monkeys to safer places. C. To balance development and wildlife protection. D. To depend only on clean energy. B Ugly dogs and other not-so-attractive pets may not be easy on the eyes, but they still capture our hearts. Why is this? Evolution plays a role. According to an Austrian scientist, humans are drawn to baby-like features, such as big eyes, large heads, and soft bodies. This is an evolutionary trait that helps ensure adults care for their young, supporting the survival of the species. Odd-looking animals like blobfish, pugs, aye-ayes, and bulldogs share these baby-like features. They trigger a caring response in humans, making us want to nurture and protect them. A 2014 study showed that the idea of "cuteness" is built into us from a young age. Children as young as three prefer animals and humans with big eyes, small noses, and round faces. Ugly animals often have other important qualities. Some, like the blobfish or the naked mole rat, live in extreme places and have adapted in amazing ways. Scientists are interested in studying these animals to learn if their biology might offer new insights for treating human health problems like cancer and brain diseases. Cultural factors also drive our love for ugly-cute animals. Social media plays a part, as many celebrities and influencers show off pets like pugs and French bulldogs online. However, there are serious welfare concerns with this trend. Veterinarians are warning people not to choose flat-faced dog breeds because they suffer from major health issues. Pugs and French bulldogs, which have been specially bred, often face breathing problems, repeated skin infections, and eye diseases. While funny features like bulging eyes and wrinkly faces may make us smile, we might want to rethink our love for "ugly-cute" pets. 1. What is the main reason why people find ugly animals attractive, according to the passage? A. They have important qualities for science. B. They are often shown on social media. C. They have baby-like appearances. D. They are very friendly to humans. 2. What does the 2014 study mentioned in the passage show? A. Children prefer animals that look strong. B. The sense of cuteness is learned from parents. C. The preference for cute features appears early in life. D. Adults care more about ugly animals than children do. 3. Why are scientists interested in studying some ugly animals? A. To find ways to make them look cuter. B. To understand their evolutionary traits. C. To help them adapt to new environments. D. To get new ideas for treating human diseases. 4. What is the serious problem with flat-faced dogs like pugs? A. They are not friendly enough. B. They have many health problems. C. They are difficult to train. D. They fail to attract people online. 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 UPS driver Ryan Arens was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman when he heard a strange 1.______.

The forest was alive with the soft hum of insects and the rustle of leaves underfoot. Emma smiled as Leo darted ahead, tail wagging, nose twitching with excitement. They had always found peace among the pines, where the air smelled of earth and adventure. But as afternoon faded, the weather changed. Dark clouds rolled in, swallowing the sun. A crack of thunder echoed through the trees, and rain began to pour, soaking Emma’s clothes and turning the trail to slippery mud. In the confusion, Emma realized they had wandered off the path. The forest, once familiar, now seemed endless and wild. Emma’s heart pounded, but she knew panic wouldn’t help. She looked down at Leo, whose eyes met hers with calm trust. “We’ll be okay,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. Leo pressed close, his warm fur comforting against the chill. Remembering her father’s advice, Emma searched for shelter. She found a leaning fir tree, its thick branches shielding a patch of dry earth. Leo helped, pawing away wet leaves as Emma made a bed of pine needles. They huddled together, listening to the storm rage outside. Hunger gnawed at Emma’s stomach, but Leo’s steady presence gave her strength. Morning brought silence and a pale sun. Emma knew they needed water and food. Leo sniffed the air, leading her to a bubbling stream. Emma drank gratefully, cupping her hands, while Leo lapped beside her. Nearby, wild berries glistened on low bushes. She picked them carefully, sharing each sweet bite with Leo. The days that followed tested Emma’s resilience and wisdom. Leo found fallen branches for Emma to use as a walking stick. He barked to scare off a curious raccoon that crept too close at night. Emma sang softly to Leo when he whimpered, her voice a promise that they would get through this together. At night, Leo curled up beside her, sharing his warmth and comfort. They learned to read the forest’s signs—the direction of the stream, the way sunlight filtered through the canopy, the scent of moss and earth. Emma’s fear faded, replaced by determination. Leo’s trust never wavered. Each day, they faced new challenges, but together, they found ways to survive. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 3. 请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: On the third day, as they followed a narrow path along the stream, Emma noticed something unusual in the distance.

A. rushed B. went C. came D. ran 答案与解析: 1. 答案：A sound解析：sound泛指任何"声音"，与前面的"heard"（听到）和后面的"cry for help"（呼救声）形成完美搭配。voice特指人的嗓音，call指呼叫，song指歌曲，均不符合描述动物发出的声音这一语境。 2. 答案：B frozen 解析：frozen专指"冰冻的"，与后文的"ice"（冰）和"December"（十二月）形成呼应，准确描述了冬季河岸的状态。cold只是冷，hard是硬，snowy是多雪的，都不如frozen贴切。 3. 答案：B icy解析：icy既表示"冰冷的"，也暗示水中有冰，与上下文描述的破冰救援场景完全吻合。deep（深的）、clear（清澈的）、dirty（脏的）都无法准确体现当时危险的水况。 4. 答案：B hitting 解析：hit表示有目的的"敲击、打击"，准确描述了用石头破冰的动作。looking（看）、pushing（推）、working（工作）都无法准确表达破冰的具体动作。 5. 答案：B weakness 解析：weakness在这里是习惯用法，表示"软肋、特别关爱的事物"，解释了Arens为什么冒着危险去救狗。其他选项虽然也与情感相关，但无法准确表达原文中"Animals are my weakness"的含义。 6. 答案：A took解析：take off是固定短语，意为"脱下"衣服，这是最地道的表达。pull off虽也可表示脱下，但不如take off常用；threw off是扔掉，put off是推迟，都不符合语境。 7. 答案：B pounding 解析：pound特指心脏"剧烈跳动、砰砰直跳"，生动地表现了Arens在紧张危险情况下的生理反应。beating只是普通的心跳，running是跑步，hurting是疼痛，都无法准确表达当时的紧张情绪。 8. 答案：B fel 解析：fall into准确描述了因滑倒而"掉入"水中的意外情况。jump into是主动跳入，stepped into是步入，walked into是走入，都与"slipped"（滑倒）的逻辑矛盾。 9. 答案：B energy 解析：energy指身体的"精力、能量"，最符合在冰冷水中挣扎求生时需要动用全部体力的语境。power是权力，force是力量，courage是勇气，都不如energy贴切。 10. 答案：D grabbed 解析：grab表示快速而有力地"抓住"，生动体现了紧急救援时的动作特点。seized虽然也表示抓，但更强调夺取；held是握住；caught是接住，都不如grab能体现紧急情况下的动作。 11. 答案：A lifted解析：lift指"举起"，准确描述了将狗从水中垂直向上抬到船里的动作。placed是放置，pushed是推，sent是送，都无法准确表达救援时的具体动作。 12. 答案：A Anxious解析：anxious表示"焦虑的、担心的"，准确表达了旁观者对狗安危的关切心情。happy是高兴的，nervous是紧张的，brave是勇敢的，都不如anxious能体现人们对生命安危的担忧。 13. 答案：B warm解析：warm作动词用，意为"使暖和"，简洁准确地表达了洗热水澡恢复体温的目的。defrost虽也可表示解冻，但不如warm常用；clean是清洁，recover是恢复，都不如warm直接明确。 14. 答案：B heart解析：heart与后文隐含的cardiac arrest（心脏骤停）对应，是专业的医学表述。breath是呼吸，life是生命，body是身体，都不如heart准确。 15. 答案：A rushed解析：rush out生动地表现了狗"冲"出来的急切和兴奋，比其他选项更能体现狗见到恩人时的激动情绪。went out是出去，came out是出来，ran out是跑出，都不如rush out能表达那种迫不及待的感觉。 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 With their unique shaggy orange manes, light blue faces, and thick fur 1. ______ (cover) their hands and feet, it's easy to recognize China's endangered golden snub-nosed monkeys.

Paragraph 2: Leo’s sudden bark broke the silence, and Emma’s heart leaped with a mix of fear and hope. 参考范文: Paragraph 1: On the third day, as they followed a narrow path along the stream, Emma noticed something unusual in the distance. A piece of colorful fabric was tied to a tree branch, fluttering in the breeze. Her heart raced—it must be a marker left by hikers! Following the direction of the fabric, she spotted more markers leading up a slope. Though exhausted, Emma felt renewed energy. Leo seemed to sense her excitement, wagging his tail enthusiastically as he trotted ahead. They climbed carefully, with Emma using the walking stick Leo had found earlier. The markers became more frequent, forming a clear path through the dense forest. Paragraph 2: Leo's sudden bark broke the silence, and Emma's heart leaped with a mix of fear and hope. Then she heard it too—voices calling her name in the distance! Leo dashed forward, barking repeatedly to signal their location. Emma's eyes filled with tears as she hurried after him. Through the trees, she saw figures in bright orange vests moving toward them. When the rescuers finally reached them, Emma collapsed into grateful sobs, hugging Leo tightly. The rescue team praised their wisdom in following the stream and leaving markers. As they were led to safety, Emma knew this unforgettable journey had forged an unbreakable bond between her and Leo. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
