Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
(2025·山东德州五校高二上期末)Johannes Fritz, an Austrian biologist, needed to come up with a plan again if he was going to prevent his rare and beloved birds from going extinct.
To survive the European winter, the northern bald ibis (秃鹮) needs to migrate south for the winter over the Alps.But shifting climate patterns have delayed when the birds begin to migrate and they are now reaching the mountains too late to make it over the peaks, locking them in an icy death trap.Determined to save them, he decided to teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft.He was confident that he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan.
Some 400 years ago, the Europeans hunted these birds without stopping and devoured the last in the wild, causing the birds to disappear entirely from the wild.When Mr.Fritz was born 56 years ago, the northern bald ibis could be found in Europe only in captivity (圈养).
Mr.Fritz has spent his career reintroducing the birds into the wild.Through years of trial and error, he learned to fly like a bird.He modified (改装) a lightweight aircraft so it would fly at speeds slow enough for the birds to keep up.In 2004, he led the first flock from Austria to Italy, and has since led more migrations.But the route he originally taught the ibises does not work successfully.With climate change warming the area where the birds summer, they now start their migration at the end of October instead of the end of September.The trip is expected to take about six weeks, “Still, we're optimistic that it'll work,” said Mr.Fritz.
His family and colleagues witnessed the risks he was taking.“But the unavoidable risks are necessary,” Mr.Fritz said.“It's not so much a job, but my life's purpose.”
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了奥地利生物学家约翰内斯·弗里茨为了防止他心爱的稀有鸟类秃鹮灭绝,决定教它们一条新的迁徙路线。
1.What was Johannes Fritz's plan?
A.To shorten bald ibises' migration route.
B.To lead bald ibises to migrate on a new route.
C.To better the climate patterns for bald ibises.
D.To find out a safer destination for bald ibises.
解析:选B。细节理解题。根据第二段第三句话的描述:为了拯救它们,他决定用一架小型飞机亲自引导它们,教它们一条新的、更安全的迁徙路线。可知,约翰内斯·弗里茨的计划是带领秃鹮沿着一条新的路线迁徙。故选B。
2.What does the underlined word “devoured” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Destroyed. B.Abused.
C.Released. D.Raised.
解析:选A。词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“causing the birds to disappear entirely from the wild(导致鸟类完全从野外消失)”可知,欧洲人不停地猎杀这些鸟,并在野外毁灭了最后一只,故画线词与Destroyed“毁灭,破坏”意义相近。故选A。
3.Why was Mr.Fritz's initial route for the birds ineffective?
A.Owing to the long time it consumes.
B.For the slow speed of his modified aircraft.
C.Because of the toughness along the first route.
D.Due to higher temperatures in the summer habitat.
解析:选D。推理判断题。根据第四段中的描述:但他最初教给秃鹮的路线并不成功。随着气候变化使鸟类避暑的地区变暖,它们现在在10月底而不是9月底开始迁徙。可推断出,弗里茨先生最初寻找的路线无效是因为夏季栖息地的温度更高。故选D。
4.Which of the following can best describe Mr.Fritz?
A.Honest. B.Innovative.
C.Straightforward. D.Demanding.
解析:选B。推理判断题。根据文章内容,Fritz 先生为了拯救秃鹮,决定用小型飞机引导它们走一条新的、更安全的迁徙路线,还改装了轻型飞机,使其飞行速度足够慢,让秃鹮能跟上。这些都体现了他具有创新精神,B项Innovative符合。故选B。

(2025·山西大学附中高二上检测)A startup company backed by tech giants IBM and Microsoft plans to build thousands of artificial reefs across the globe to fight climate change by restoring coral reef ecosystems.
The Reef Company plans to have its first reefs in the water by December 2022, and is encouraging more companies to fund reefs to offset (抵消) their carbon footprint.“We've calculated we need to build 2,500 reefs, each measuring 4 square kilometers, over the next 10 years to absorb the extra carbon we have on the planet at the moment,” says Jeroen van de Waal, founder of The Reef Company.
Coral reefs are home to 25% of all marine life.They provide a source of income for millions of people through fishing and tourism and protect coastal communities by reducing the power of waves before they reach the shore.Yet they're under threat from global warming and 90% of all coral reefs could be lost by 2050 if nothing is done to protect them.
As well as improving biodiversity and storing carbon, The Reef Company, which is based in Portugal, hopes to give a boost to local economies and collect realtime data for researchers.
The artificial reefs are constructed from ecofriendly concrete made from recycled industrial waste and will feature consoles (控制台) filled with sensors that can measure how salty, warm and acid the ocean is.“The reefs will provide a continuously expanding set of connected sensors to gather and analyze data, generating insights in real time,” says Andrés Ortolá, managing director of Microsoft Portugal.
To act as a sink for carbon dioxide, the artificial reefs will need to support plants such as seagrass and mangroves alongside coral.While coral reefs use carbon to grow, the process also lowers the PH in the water, which results in the release of CO2.Benjamin Horton at the Earth Observatory of Singapore says artificial reefs will need to be well maintained to prove successful.“If the ecosystems are damaged, their carbon sink capacity will be affected, and the carbon stored will be released.”
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。一家由科技巨头IBM和微软支持的初创公司计划在全球建造数千个人工珊瑚礁,通过恢复珊瑚礁生态系统来应对气候变化。
5.What does the author mainly try to do in Paragraph 3?

B.Emphasize the economic benefits of artificial coral reefs.
C.Show coral reefs play a role in fighting global warming.
D.Tell why the efforts of The Reef Company are important.
解析:选D。推理判断题。第三段指出珊瑚礁是众多海洋生物的家园,通过渔业和旅游业为数百万人提供收入来源,还能保护沿海社区。但同时它们受到全球变暖的威胁,若不加以保护,到 2050 年 90% 的珊瑚礁可能会消失。此段强调了珊瑚礁的重要性以及面临的严峻形势,从而说明了 The Reef Company 为保护珊瑚礁所做努力的重要性。故选D。
6.Why are the artificial coral reefs equipped with sensors?
A.To help natural coral reefs recover.
B.To monitor new industrial resources.
C.To keep track of ocean animals' health.
D.To collect realtime data of the ocean.
解析:选D。推理判断题。根据第五段:这些珊瑚礁将配备一系列不断扩展的互联传感器,用于收集和分析数据,并实时生成分析结果。由此推断出人造珊瑚礁配备传感器是为了收集和分析海洋的实时数据。故选D。
7.What can we learn about Benjamin Horton?
A.He shows no interest in the plan.
B.He is worried about the project.
C.He finds artificial reefs useless.
D.He is hopeful about ecosystems.
解析:选B。细节理解题。根据最后一段中最后一句话:如果生态系统遭到破坏,它们的碳汇能力将受到影响,储存的碳将被释放。由此可见他对这个项目是担忧的。故选B。
8.What is the text mainly about?
A.An attempt to fight climate change.
B.A company devoted to studying reefs.
C.A creative way to build artificial reefs.
D.An international cooperation in science.
解析:选A。主旨大意题。文章开篇指出由科技巨头支持的初创公司计划建造人工珊瑚礁来对抗气候变化,接着阐述了珊瑚礁的重要性、人工珊瑚礁的建造及作用等,整体围绕通过建造人工珊瑚礁对抗气候变化这一尝试展开。故选A。
