UNIT 6　Nature in words Ⅰ.阅读理解 　　（2025·泰安模拟）Houses covered in ivy are an attractive sight to see. But many gardeners fear that ivy causes major structural damage to buildings and long to remove it whenever they can， right？ Not so， says James Wong， a botanist and science writer. 　　“I am always surprised by how often gardening can be so driven by fear，” he says. “The thinking behind this is that climbers harm brickwork and can cause structural damage to buildings.” But few fears are based on any scientific evidence. And frequently， the exact opposite is true. 　　In a 2020 study from the Royal Horticultural Society， climbing plants like ivy were found to have a protective effect on model brick buildings constructed for the experiment. The shade by the plants’ leaves cooled the surface of the buildings in summer by as much as 5.7 ℃. What’s more， ivy didn’t significantly raise humidity levels （湿度） — rather， it helped stabilize them， minimizing the damage to the buildings’ surfaces. The living coating also lowered summer temperatures inside the buildings by up to 7.2 ℃ and reduced heating bills by as much as 20 percent in winter. 　　What about real-world， well-used buildings， whose outside may have experienced centuries of environmental damage？ Another study from 2011 found that in five historic buildings across England， bare walls experienced average maximum temperatures 36 percent higher and minimum temperatures 15 percent lower compared with those coated in ivy. The researchers concluded that the living insulation （隔热） provided by ivy would reduce the likelihood of frost and salt damage to the building materials， thus contributing to their conservation.They also found in another study that the leaves’ ability to trap pollution could reduce the damage to historical walls. 　　Imagine if there was a new material that could cool cities and cut energy bills. The truth is that we have had this miracle material all along， but rather than appreciating it， we have spent huge amounts of time worrying about how to get rid of it. 1.Why do gardeners want to remove the ivy？（　　） A.To get rid of their fear of ivy. B.To make the houses more attractive. C.To confirm previous scientific evidence. D.To protect the brickwork and structure of the building. 2.What can we learn from the 2020 study？（　　） A.Climbing plants increase heating bills in winter. B.Climbing plants can severely damage brickwork. C.Climbing plants raise humidity levels against brickwork. D.Climbing plants reduce the temperature of buildings in summer. 3.How can ivy benefit historical buildings？ （　　） A.It improves the visual appeal of old buildings. B.It removes pollutants from the surroundings. C.It protects building materials from frost and salt damage. D.It promotes the energy efficiency of historical structures. 4.What would be the best title for the text？ （　　） A.Ivy： a troublemaker of preserving the old building B.Ivy： an unexpected helper in buildings conservation C.The environmental impact of ivy on modern architecture D.The need for a new material to cool cities and cut energy bills Ⅱ.完形填空 　　（2025·山东新高考联合考试）In 2013， my husband Robin took a new job in Ghana.We relocated from London， where I worked as a photographer， to the capital， Accra.Robin worked， but my visa didn’t permit me to， and I was left homesick and lacking 　5　.With few people around， I turned to 　6　.I photographed horses and considered the outdoors the place where I felt most 　7　. 　　In September 2018， after one bad thunderstorm， I found a bird， barely a month old， on the ground.He was 　8　 by his flock （群）.His eyes were shut， too young to 　9　 alone.I placed him in a cardboard box and stayed up all night， researching how to 　10　 him.

Dear Jenny， 　　Knowing that you’re interested in the volunteer training organized by our local Eco-Conservation Association I attended last week， I’m thrilled to share some information about it with you. 　　The primary aim of the training is to equip and empower volunteers like me with the necessary knowledge and skills and encourage us to actively contribute to environmental conservation efforts. During the training， we were introduced to various aspects of ecology， some sustainable practices， and the challenges being faced by our planet today. 　　This training has prepared me to contribute more to our ecological preservation. It is really an inspiring and rewarding experience， and I’m eager for the volunteer work ahead. Yours， Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
