Ⅰ.阅读理解(本题共8个小题,每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
(2024·湖南高教联高三二模)
The California sea otter (海獭), once hunted to the edge of extinction, has staged a thrilling comeback in the last century.Now, scientists have discovered that the otters' success story has led to something just as remarkable: the restoration of their declining coastal marsh(沼泽) habitat.
Elkhorn Slough, a coastal marsh within Monterey Bay, had been experiencing severe damage.The root cause was a growing population of shore crabs, which fed heavily on the marsh plants, weakening the structural integrity of the habitat.Coastal marshes like these are not only natural defenses against storm waves but also serve as important carbon storage areas and water-cleaning systems.
The conservation-driven comeback of the sea otter has been crucial. California's coastlines were once alive with sea otters.Sadly, they were nearly wiped out at the hands of fur traders.In the 1980s, conservation efforts aided these otters in reoccupying large areas of their former range.Now, Elkhorn Slough has the highest concentration of sea otters in California, with a population of about 100.By naturally feasting on crabs, the otters have helped a significant regrowth of plant life.Brent Hughes, a scientist working alongside Angelini, led a three-year study.Their findings were clear: in areas with sea otters, crab numbers fell markedly.This led to a resurgence in plant growth, which in turn stabilized the soil and lowered the rate of soil washing away.
As the sea otter population continues to restore, their positive impact on coastal ecosystems is likely to increase.It not only showcases the sea otter as a central species—a species that has a significant effect on its natural environment—but also highlights the essential nature of top predators (捕食者) in preserving ecological harmony.“My honest reaction was—this could become a classic in the literature,” says scientist Lekelia Jenkins.She reveals marsh restoration also helps people by reducing flooding.“Suddenly, sea otters go from just cute things we like to something that can protect our livelihoods and our properties.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加州海獭的数量回升,对减少沿海海岸线侵蚀、维护生态环境平衡起到了重要作用。
1.What change did the disappearance of sea otters bring about?
A.Fewer predatory crabs.
B.More coastal plant life.
C.Better water-cleaning effect.
D.Worse coastal ecological balance.
√
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的 “The root cause was a growing population of shore crabs, which fed heavily on the marsh plants, weakening the structural integrity of the habitat.” 可知, Elkhorn Slough沿岸的沼泽遭受严重破坏的根本原因是滨蟹数量的增加。这些蟹以沼泽植物为食,因此削弱了栖息地的结构完整性。根据文章第三段中的 “Their findings were clear: in areas with sea otters, crab numbers fell markedly.” 可知,海獭对滨蟹有制衡作用。由此可推知,海獭的消失导致了沿海生态平衡的恶化。故选D。
2.What does the underlined word “resurgence” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Barrier. B.Advancement.
C.Expansion. D.Revival.
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文中的 “By naturally feasting on crabs, the otters have helped a significant regrowth of plant life.” 可知,因为海獭以滨蟹为食,从而有助于植物的再生。画线词 resurgence 意为“复苏”,D项与画线词意相近。故选D。
√
3.What is the author's purpose in quoting Lekelia Jenkins?
A.To highlight the importance of coastal marshes.
B.To introduce a new research study on sea otters.
C.To demonstrate the practical benefits of sea otters.
D.To emphasize the need for increased conservation efforts.
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的 “She reveals marsh restoration also helps people by reducing flooding.‘Suddenly, sea otters go from just cute things we like to something that can protect our livelihoods and our properties.’” 可推知,作者引用科学家 Lekelia Jenkins 的话是为了展示海獭(对人类)的实际益处(比如减少洪水灾害)。故选C。
√
4.What message is conveyed from sea otters' impact?
A.The necessity for controlled hunting.
B.The interconnectedness of the ecosystem.
C.The drawbacks of wildlife reintroduction.
D.The need for human intervention in nature.
√
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章通过说明海獭对沿海生态系统的影响,传递出 “生态系统的相互关联性” 这一信息。故选B。

(2025·青岛高三检测)
An ancient Latin proverb says “Aquila non capit muscas” —eagles don't hunt flies—meaning that important ones shouldn't concern themselves with small, insignificant matters.But the lions in East Africa should concern themselves with the seemingly insignificant ants, because these ants are changing their lifestyles.
The story starts with the acacia trees(金合欢树) in an African wildlife area in central Kenya.Some of these acacia trees provide food and shelter for specific ant species, which in turn defend the trees against herbivores(食草动物).The ants are actively attacking and driving away herbivores that attempt to feed on the trees' leaves.This is highly effective; the ants not only physically harm the herbivores but also release chemicals that can deter other potential attackers.
But these ants are in trouble.Another species called the “big-headed” ant is destroying entire groups of tree-protecting ants.This, in turn, sets off an entire chain of events that ends up influencing when and how lions can hunt.
This ant invasion affects one thing after the other.It leaves the acacia trees defenseless against herbivores, especially elephants.The elephants come in and eat the acacias at five to seven times the rate observed in uninvaded areas.The lions, while hunting for food, have no more trees to use for hiding.This reduced tree cover makes lions less successful at hunting and pushes them to find different areas to hunt in.
“These tiny invaders are pulling on the ties that put an African ecosystem together, determining who is eaten and where,” said Todd Palmer, an ecologist from Florida.
The lions, which are already endangered, are managing to cope with this by no longer focusing their attention on zebras.The zebras, of course, can see them much better on the approach given the lack of cover.Instead, they are targeting water buffalo.But this also isn't the end of the story.Who knows what the lions' changing strategy will mean for the ecosystem down the line?
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了小蚂蚁如何影响狮子的捕猎方式。
5.What does the underlined word “deter” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Direct. B.Discourage.
C.Identify. D.Seek.
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文中的 “which in turn defend the trees against herbivores(食草动物).The ants are actively attacking and driving away herbivores that attempt to feed on the trees' leaves.This is highly effective; the ants not only physically harm the herbivores” 可知,蚂蚁对金合欢树具有保护作用。由此可知,蚂蚁还释放出可以阻止其他潜在攻击者的化学物质来保护金合欢树。deter意为 “阻止”,B项与画线单词意思相近。故选B。
√
6.What role do the elephants play in the chain reaction?
A.Cooperating with the “big-headed” ants.
B.Damaging the hiding place for lions.
C.Protecting the acacias from herbivores.
D.Starting off the disturbance of the chain.
细节理解题。根据第四段中的 “The elephants come in and eat the acacias at five to seven times the rate observed in uninvaded areas.The lions, while hunting for food, have no more trees to use for hiding.” 可知,大象吃金合欢树的速度是未被入侵地区的五到七倍。在寻找食物的时候,狮子没有更多的树可以用来躲藏。由此可知,在食物链中,大象破坏了狮子的藏身之处。故选B。
√
7.The author mentions lions, zebras and water buffalo to show that .
A.animals fall victim to bigger ones
B.the ecology is on the road to recovery
C.animals are correlated in the ecosystem
D.species are firmly positioned in the food chain
√
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段 “‘These tiny invaders are pulling on the ties that put an African ecosystem together, determining who is eaten and where,’...” 和最后一段中的 “The lions...are managing to cope with this by no longer focusing their attention on zebras.The zebras, of course, can see them much better on the approach given the lack of cover.Instead, they are targeting water buffalo.” 可知,这些蚂蚁的入侵导致金合欢树被大量吃掉——这使得狮子在狩猎时失去遮蔽,并导致以斑马为食的狮子转而猎杀水牛。由此可推知,作者提到狮子、斑马和水牛是为了说明动物在生态系统中是相互关联的。故选C。
8.What is the text mainly about?
A.What ecologists find about animals.
B.Why African lions are endangered.
C.How tiny ants affect the way lions hunt.
D.How the law of the jungle works in Africa.
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据文章第一段中的 “But the lions in East Africa should concern themselves with the seemingly insignificant ants, because these ants are changing their lifestyles.” 可知,文章主要介绍了小蚂蚁是如何影响狮子的捕猎方式的。故选C。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(本题共5个小题,每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
(2024·河北高三下适应测试)
Tired of traditional chlorinated (含氯的) pools? Consider a salt water pool, a popular trend in recent years.
A salt water pool is a type of swimming pool that uses a salt chlorine generator to produce its own supply of chlorine.This means instead of manually adding harsh (刺激性的) chemicals to a pool, the generator changes salt into chlorine and releases it into the water as needed. 1 They still contain levels of chlorine and other minerals, but the amount is significantly low.
What sets salt water pools apart from their traditional counterparts? With traditional chlorine pools, owners must monitor and adjust chemical levels regularly to maintain proper balance—too much or too little can cause major problems for swimmers. 2 With a salt water system set up in the pool, one doesn't have to spend as much time testing and adjusting chemical levels.The generator automatically produces enough chlorine based on the pool's size. 3
Have you ever been in a traditional chlorine pool and come out with red, irritated(刺痒的) skin or burning eyes? 4 Salt water pools, however, use a saltwater chlorination system that produces natural chlorine to treat the water, which is kinder to the skin and eyes.Plus, minerals like magnesium and potassium in salt water pools can benefit the skin.
5 Salt water pools require fewer chemical additions and result in lower chlorine byproduct emissions.Since there's no need for chemical storage, there's less risk of accidents or spills.
A.You'll leave a salt water pool feeling refreshed.
B.Switching to salt water pools is also eco-friendly.
C.This can be quite exhausting and time-consuming.
D.It's no secret that chlorine can be harsh on the body.
E.However, salt water pools are not completely chemical-free.
F.So one doesn't have to worry about the strong smell of chlorine.
G.It's like having an assistant manage the affairs while you just enjoy yourself!
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了盐水泳池相对于传统的含氯泳池的好处。
根据下文 “They still contain levels of chlorine and other minerals, but the amount is significantly low.” 可知, 空后一句表示盐水泳池仍然含有氯和其他矿物质。那么空处就需要一个表示转折的句子,说明盐水泳池并不是完全不含化学物质。E项 “然而,盐水池并非完全没有化学物质。” 符合语境。故选E。
