内容正文:
Hello,I'm Xiaohe.Let me tell you something about monarch butterflies.Every fall,the monarch butterflies start their annual migration.They travel across the Atlantic in search of warmer climates.Scientists,like professor Smith,are trying to measure and determine their exact path and the reasons behind this journey.These amazing creatures seek suitable accommodation during their long-distance flight.They eventually reach their wintering grounds,where they can survive the cold.But their migration is under threat.Chemical pollution and the destruction of their habitats by humans are endangering them.Only about 30 percent of the original population remains.A group of photographers set out to capture the image of this breathtaking event.They encountered many difficulties,including freezing temperatures,but they braved the elements to document this natural mystery.Their work will surely raise people's awareness and might lead to better solutions to protect these beautiful butterflies.

The Monarch's Journey
Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year.This annual①movement② is called migration③.They migrate④ to find food,seek⑤ a partner,or in search of warmer weather.One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly⑥.
Every autumn,millions of these beautiful insects with fine black and orange wings begin a long and difficult journey.Somehow⑦ they manage to travel around 4,000 kilometres south and find their way to California or Mexico.However,until recently no one knew how they did this.
A team of scientists led by Professor⑧ Eli Shlizerman at the University of Washington[1]has now found the answer.They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day.It uses its eyes to measure⑨ the position⑩ of the sun.These two pieces of information—the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky[2]—allow the butterfly to determine⑪ the way to go.Eventually⑫,it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
[1]过去分词短语作后置定语。
[2]where引导的定语从句修饰先行词point。
The solution⑬ to the mystery⑭ of the monarch's amazing⑮ ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble.Its population has crashed⑯ by as much as 90 per cent⑰ in the last few years.Sadly,human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling.In many of the places where the butterfly can be found,people are destroying⑱ the natural environment.They cut down trees and use chemicals⑲ that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars⑳ eat.[3]
[3]此处两个that都是引导的定语从句。其中第一个that的先行词是chemicals;第二个that的先行词是plants。
The research on the monarch's behaviour has however led to a greater awareness of this creature.People have been working together to record its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on.[4]If this works,there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies increases once again.The more we know about this lovely creature,the greater the chance it will survive [5]and keep its place in the natural world for a long time to come.
[4]此句运用了现在完成进行时。现在完成进行时表示过去某一时刻发生的动作一直持续到现在,并有可能继续持续下去。
[5]此句为“the+比较级...,the+比较级...”结构,意为“越……,越……”,是一个复合句,其中前面的句子是状语从句,后面的句子是主句。

黑脉金斑蝶的迁徙之旅
许多动物会在一年中的某些时候从一个地方迁移到另一个地方,这种一年一度的运动叫作迁徙。它们为了觅食、寻找伴侣或温暖的环境而迁徙。北美黑脉金斑蝶的迁徙是大自然中最为美妙的迁徙之一。
每年秋天,数百万只有着黑色和橙色翅膀的漂亮的昆虫会开始一段漫长而艰难的旅程。不知怎么地,它们设法向南飞行大约4 000千米,前往加利福尼亚或墨西哥。然而,直到最近人们才明白它们是如何做到的。
华盛顿大学伊莱·史利哲曼教授领导的科学家(研究)小组现在已经找到了答案。他们发现黑脉金斑蝶可以分辨出一天中的时刻。它用眼睛来测量太阳的位置。这两条信息——一天中的时刻和太阳在天空中的位置——让黑脉金斑蝶能够判定前进方向。最终成功到达它要过冬的地方。
黑脉金斑蝶这一惊人能力的奥秘被揭开时,这一生物正处于水深火热的生存状态中。过去几年里,黑脉金斑蝶的数量骤减百分之九十。不幸的是,人类活动是黑脉金斑蝶数量下降的主要原因。在黑脉金斑蝶生存的许多地方,人们正在破坏自然环境。他们砍伐树木,所使用的化学品杀死了黑脉金斑蝶幼虫食用的植物。
不过,对黑脉金斑蝶行为的研究使人们对这种生物有了更好的了解。人们一直齐心协力记录它的迁徙,并确保它有足够的植物可食用。如果这些努力产生效果,黑脉金斑蝶的数量在未来有可能再次回升。我们对这种迷人的生物了解越多,它们在自然界中得以长久生存并保持其位置的可能性就越大。

A
(2025·四川广安友实学校高一上期中)On November 7,Lewis Pugh completed a one-kilometer swim in the freezing waters of King Edward Cove,off South Georgia in Antarctica.He was wearing only his swimming glasses,cap and speedos!
Pugh is an advocate for our oceans and seas,working to protect these ecosystem with their large diversity of marine life.When asked why he doesn't wear a wetsuit,Lewis says,“I ask world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans.Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and unpopular.If I'm asking them to be courageous,I must also be.Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message.”
It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in Antarctica where the water averaged about 1.6 degrees Celsius.He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the freezing waters before it starts shutting down.As he swims,his body temperature steadily drops,which in turn causes his muscle control to drop,slowing him down.When he is done with his swim,his support team rushes him to a hot shower and it takes almost an hour for his body temperature to return to normal.
Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters.Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing water can drown within minutes because of the physical shock experienced by the body.Pugh says he trained for six months before this swim.
This is not the first time that Lewis has swum in dangerous conditions.In 2007,he swam one kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting Arctic ice due to climate change.In 2015,he swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarctica's Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a marine reserve there.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了Lewis Pugh为了呼吁政府采取措施保护海洋,在南极海洋水温很低的情况下,不穿防寒泳衣游泳的事情。
1.Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuit?
A.To swim faster.
B.To show his bravery.
C.To build up his body.
D.To win public attention.
解析:选B。推理判断题。根据第二段 Lewis 所说的话 “If I'm asking them to be courageous,I must also be.Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message.” 可知,他不穿潜水衣游泳是为了展示自己的勇气,从而呼吁世界各国领导人勇敢地采取行动保护海洋。故选B。
2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.His body.
B.The water.
C.His body temperature.
D.The water temperature.
解析:选A。代词指代题。根据第三段 “He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the freezing waters before it starts shutting down.” 可知,这里指的是他的身体在冰冷的水中只能忍受大约 20 分钟,然后就会开始出现机能下降等情况,所以 “it” 指代的是 “His body”。故选A。
3.What's Pugh's advice about swimming in freezing waters?
A.One should be ready to take on challenges.
B.One should be expert at swimming.
C.One must be fully prepared.
D.One must be used to long-distance swimming.
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第四段 “Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters.” 可知,Pugh 认为要在这样寒冷的水中游泳,必须经过数月的训练,即要做好充分的准备。故选C。
4.What may be the best title for the text?
A.Lewis Pugh: swimming for a cause
B.How to survive a swim in cold waters
C.How to prepare for extreme swimming
D.Lewis Pugh: achieving the impossible
解析:选A。主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了 Lewis Pugh 为了呼吁人们保护海洋,在南极冰冷的海水中游泳的事迹,他游泳是为了一个特定的环保事业,A项 “Lewis Pugh为了一个目标而游泳” 最能概括文章主旨。

(2025·山东烟台高一上期中)Orcas,also known as killer whales,are the largest members of the dolphin family.They hunt in schools of up to 40 individuals and are famous for their group attack on sea creatures.But orcas seldom attack humans.
However,since 2020,groups of orcas have struck about 700 boats off the coasts of Spain,Portugal,France and Morocco.They have damaged(损坏)at least seven boats.Experts now believe what the orcas did is the result of bored teenage orcas having fun.
After observing fifteen young orcas,a research team,led by Alex Zerbini,found that the orcas approached the boats slowly.Once close,they appeared to simply want to nudge their noses or heads against the rudder (船舵).Given that these young orcas measure between 2.7 and 4.2 meters in length,just a gentle touch was enough to damage the rudders and even the boats.“As they play with the rudder,they don't understand that they can damage the rudder and will affect human beings.It's more playful than purposeful,” one researcher said.
The researchers thought the teenage orcas' boredom results from the increase in the population of their primary food source—the bluefin tuna.With plenty of food,they have a lot more time on their hands.They guessed the action may have been started by a curious individual attracted to the moving boat and may have inspired the others to do the same.
Zerbini and his team give some suggestions about being far away from orcas when possible.While people are in the areas where orcas often appear,try to reduce the speed of the boats.Making banging sounds around the boat may keep the whales away.They also suggest boat owners replace the smooth rudder surface with special materials.This will make the boats less fun to “play” with.
“We don't want to see more boats being damaged,and we don't want to see people in trouble,” Zerbini said.“But we also don't want to see orcas and other animals being hurt.We have to remember that this is their home,and we're in the way.”

5.What does the text focus on about orcas?
A.Their unusual behavior.
B.Their feeding habit.
C.Their high intelligence.
D.Their quick reaction.
解析:选A。主旨大意题。文章开篇介绍虎鲸通常很少攻击人类,但自 2020 年起,它们在西班牙、葡萄牙、法国和摩洛哥海岸附近频繁撞击船只,之后围绕这一不寻常行为阐述了有关研究及应对措施,所以文章聚焦于虎鲸某种不寻常的行为。故选A。
6.Why do orcas strike the boats according to the research?
A.To search for food.
B.To seek pleasure.
C.To try to communicate.
D.To practice hunting skills.
解析:选B。细节理解题。根据第二段 “Experts now believe what the orcas did is the result of bored teenage orcas having fun.” 以及第三段 “As they play with the rudder,they don't understand that they can damage the rudder and will affect human beings.It's more playful than purposeful” 可知,研究表明虎鲸撞击船只是因为无聊的幼年虎鲸想寻找乐趣,故选B。
7.What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us?
A.How to find orcas' tracks.
B.How to draw orcas to the rudder.
C.How to tell the sounds from orcas.
D.How to avoid encounters with orcas.
解析:选D。段落大意题。根据第五段中 “Zerbini and his team give some suggestions...smooth rudder surface with special materials.” 等内容可知,主要是关于如何避免与虎鲸接触。故选D。
8.What do we know from Zerbini's words?
A.We should live at peace with animals.
B.We should build more high-quality boats.
C.People face challenges in developing fishery.
D.People have perfected creatures' living environment.
解析:选A。推理判断题。根据Zerbini的话 “We don't want to see more boats being damaged,and we don't...remember that this is their home,and we're in the way.” 可知,他既希望保护人类免受麻烦,也避免伤害动物,即我们应该与动物和平共处。故选A。

Section Ⅱ Using language—Attributive clauses (2)
分析下列课文原句中加黑词
1.Eventually,it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
2.The solution...comes at a time when it is in serious trouble.
3.Sadly,human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling.
【我的感悟】
句1、2、3中加黑词均为关系副词,引导定语从句。句1中,where引导的定语从句修饰表示地点的名词places;句2中,when引导的定语从句修饰表示时间的名词time;why引导的定语从句修饰表示原因的名词reason。
一、关系副词的指代及功能
关系副词
先行词
功能
when
表示时间的名词
时间状语
where
表示地点的名词
地点状语
why
reason
原因状语
二、关系副词的基本用法
1.关系副词when引导定语从句时,先行词应是表示时间的名词,关系副词when在从句中作时间状语。
①I hope there is a moment when I forget all my worries and pains.
我希望有那么一刻,我能忘记所有的烦恼和痛苦。
②Tom will never forget the days when he lived in China with his family.
汤姆永远不会忘记他和家人在中国生活的日子。
2.关系副词where引导定语从句时,先行词应是表示地点或抽象地点的名词,关系副词where在从句中作地点状语。
①They went into the hall where the meeting was being held.
他们走进正在召开会议的大厅。
②The professor make a report where he explained how he found the solution to the problem.
教授作了一次报告来解释他是如何找到这个问题的解决办法的。
【点拨】 当先行词是抽象地点名词如case,point,condition,situation等,且关系词在从句中作地点状语时,仍然用where引导定语从句。
We have reached a point where a change is needed.
我们已经到了需要做出改变的地步。
3.关系副词why引导定语从句时,先行词常常为reason,关系副词why在从句中作原因状语。
①Can you explain the reason why(=for which) you don't help him?
你能解释一下不帮助他的理由吗?
②Can you tell me the reason why you didn't come to his birthday party?
你能告诉我你没参加他的生日宴会的原因吗?

用适当的关系副词填空
①The secret meeting was held in the house where he used to live.
②I don't know the reason why he was late again.
③Newspapers are making their efforts to attract readers in an age when most people read news online for free.
④I will never forget the place where we stayed.
三、比较关系副词与关系代词的用法
表示时间、地点及原因的名词作先行词时,定语从句可用关系代词引导,也可用关系副词引导。若先行词在定语从句中作状语时,应用关系副词;若先行词在定语从句中作主语或宾语时,则应用关系代词。试比较:
①Do you remember the days when we chatted with each other all night?(when在从句中作状语)
你还记得我们彻夜畅聊的那些日子吗?
②Do you remember the days that/which we spent together on the farm?(that或which作spent的宾语)
你还记得我们在农场一起度过的那些日子吗?
③I don't know the reason why he didn't turn to his good friend for help yesterday.(why作原因状语)
我不知道昨天他为什么没向他的好朋友求助。
④I won't accept the reason that/which you have given us.(定语从句中缺少直接宾语,所以用which/that,不用why)
我坚决不接受你提供给我们的那个理由。
————即学即练2————
对比填空:that,which,when,where,why
①I will never forget the days that/which we spent together.
②I still remember the time when I became a college student.
③The reason that/which he explained at the meeting was not sound.
④The reason why he was late was that he missed his train.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
(2025·湖北武汉高一上期中)In Katmai National.Park,a mother bear and her cub walk toward us,then sit down and nap,completely at ease with us being around.And the feeling is shared.My husband,nervous about being near such large predators (捕食者) an hour ago,now relaxes so much that he falls asleep in the grass too.
The Katmai coast can only be reached by air or sea.Its faraway location helps keep bear viewing safe.Our guide,Bachrach,tells us that the common view of bears as violent predators killing for meat actually only shows part of the picture.The Katmai spring sees bears feast on plants and dig for shellfish during low tide.From late June to September,they move to salmon-filled rivers for the salmon,but they also keep eating grass and berries.
Each time we spot a bear,Bachrach reminds us to read its behavior.If the bear appears relaxed,we can watch for a while from a safe distance.As responsible visitors,we must never let it get too close,and never let even a bit of our food fall to the ground.Bachrach learned this the hard way after a bear entered a cabin and stayed near the door for days,expecting more after finding fruit.Besides,we must also avoid disturbing the bears while they feed.As they drink along the river,we carefully move around them.
“What do you think people get out of seeing bears?” I ask Bachrach.
“I've watched visitors go from hesitant to amazed,then comfortable,and then observant and thoughtful.Hopefully they learn to share space with wild animals.Those who don't learn to share don't grow alongside each other.And those who share,do,” he says.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在Katmai国家公园观赏熊的经历,以及向导Bachrach对于如何与熊共处、观赏熊的注意事项和意义的讲解。
1.Why does the husband fall asleep?
A.He is uninterested in bears.
B.He doesn't want to disturb the bears.
C.He enjoys the author's company.
D.He feels safe in the environment.
解析:选D。推理判断题。根据第一段“My husband,nervous about being near such large predators an hour ago,now relaxes so much that he falls asleep in the grass too.” 可知,一小时前丈夫还因靠近大型捕食者而紧张,现在却放松得睡着了。这表明他在这个环境中感到安全,所以才会睡着,故选D。
2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Bears' attacking behavior.
B.Katmai's faraway location.
C.Bears' different diets.
D.Katmai's changing seasons.
解析:选C。段落大意题。第二段提到“The Katmai spring sees bears feast on plants and dig for shellfish...salmon-filled rivers for the salmon,but they also keep eating grass and berries.”,主要讲述了在卡特迈不同季节熊的饮食情况,如春天吃植物和贝类,6 月下旬到 9 月吃鲑鱼、草和浆果等,所以该段的主要内容是熊的不同饮食。故选C。
3.What should a responsible bear visitor do?
A.Follow bears closely.
B.Share food with bears.
C.Talk to bears.
D.Watch bears only.
解析:选D。细节理解题。根据第三段 “As responsible visitors,we must never let it get too close,and never let even a bit of our food fall to the ground.”和“Besides,we must also avoid disturbing the bears while they feed.”可知,负责任的游客不能与熊靠得太近,不能给熊食物,不能打扰熊进食,也就是只能观看熊。故选D。
4.What does Bachrach hope people learn from bear viewing?
A.To live in peace with wildlife.
B.To survive in the wild.
C.To increase space for wildlife.
D.To look after bears thoughtfully.
解析:选A。细节理解题。根据最后一段“Hopefully they learn to share space with wild animals.Those who don't learn to share don't grow alongside each other.And those who share,do” 可知,Bachrach 希望人们通过观看熊,学会与野生动物共享空间,也就是与野生动物和平共处。故选A。

(2025·湖南长沙明德中学高一上期中)Tall,long-necked giraffes are famous for their spots which are believed to help the animals hide from their enemies.Just like no two humans have the same fingerprints,each giraffe has its own special pattern of spots.However,a Tennessee zoo made headlines recently after it welcomed one of the world's most uncommon giraffes.
On July 31,2023,a baby giraffe was born at Brights Zoo with light brown fur which is a reticulated giraffe (网纹长颈鹿),one of the four different kinds of giraffes.Unlike most giraffes,she was born without spots,a unique feature of the reticulated giraffe.At six feet tall,this baby giraffe is growing well under her mother's care.She shows typical baby giraffe behavior,such as eating rocks.
Experts said the young giraffe was the only single-colored reticulated giraffe living anywhere on the planet.The last time this happened was 1972 in Japan.A giraffe's pattern of spots is created when the animal is still growing inside its mother.That means that this giraffe will never have spots.
“The new giraffe might not have survived if she had been born in the wild.Being single-colored,she may not be able to hide quite well,” said Mr David Bright,who runs the zoo.“It will easily be a key target for poachers (偷猎者) because she's so unusual.”
Brights Zoo stressed that reticulated giraffes had already become imperiled.In 2018,they were officially listed as “threatened”.Thirty-five years ago,there were 36,000 reticulated giraffes.Now,the number has been cut by more than 50%.Only about 16,000 reticulated giraffes remain.
This brown giraffe's birth is not only a rare and fascinating event,but also an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges faced by giraffes in the wild.By supporting efforts like this,we can contribute to the conservation of these large creatures and ensure their survival for generations to come.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇新闻报道。报道了田纳西州的一家动物园迎来了一只世界上极为罕见的长颈鹿,这只长颈鹿出生的时候身上没有斑点。
5.What do we learn from the spots of giraffes?
A.They look like giraffe's footprints.
B.The patterns of the spots are the same.
C.They appear on giraffes from time to time.
D.They are helpful in guarding against their enemies.
解析:选D。细节理解题。根据第一段“Tall,long-necked giraffes are famous for their spots which are believed to help the animals hide from their enemies.”可知,高大的长颈鹿因其斑点而闻名,这些斑点被认为可以帮助它们躲避天敌。因此,长颈鹿的斑点有助于防范天敌。故选D。
6.What's unique about the young giraffe born at Brights Zoo?
A.She has a large size.
B.She has light brown fur.
C.She has no spots.
D.She likes eating rocks.
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike most giraffes,she was born without spots,a unique feature of the reticulated giraffe.”可知,这只幼年长颈鹿的独特之处在于她没有斑点。故选C。
7.What does the underlined word “imperiled” mean in Paragraph 5?
A.Endangered. B.Recognized.
C.Rare. D.Abundant.
解析:选A。词义猜测题。根据画线词后文可知,2018年,它们被正式列为“濒危”,35年前,有36,000只网纹长颈鹿,现在,这个数字已经减少了超过50%,目前只剩下大约16,000只网纹长颈鹿。因此,网纹长颈鹿数量不多了,说明它们濒临灭绝。故画线词imperiled的意思是“濒临灭绝的”。故选A。
8.Which word can best describe the birth of the young giraffe?
A.Embarrassing. B.Promising.
C.Significant. D.Foreseeable.
解析:选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,这只棕色长颈鹿的出生不仅是一个罕见而有趣的事件,也是一个提高人们保护野生长颈鹿的意识的机会。因此,小长颈鹿的诞生是有意义的。故选C。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)

[语篇解读]本文为一篇说明文。介绍了香港湿地公园有着种类繁多的稀有动物,还喂养着一只雌性鳄鱼Pui Pui。
1.解析:attracting。考查非谓语动词。句意:香港位于东亚——澳大利亚航线上,是一个重要的经停站和过冬的地方,每年吸引10多万只候鸟。本空作状语,动词attract与句子Hong Kong之间为主动关系,故应用现在分词作状语。
2.解析:arrival。考查名词。句意:你可以在香港湿地公园捕捉到它们的到来,濒危物种也会出现。本空作动词catch的宾语,故应用名词arrival,意为“到来,到达”。
3.解析:a。考查冠词。句意:除了种类繁多的稀有动物外,香港湿地公园也是一只雌性鳄鱼Pui Pui的家园。a wide variety of意为“各种各样的”,故应用不定冠词a。
4.解析:with。考查介词。句意:香港湿地公园为Pui Pui提供了住所和食物,她经常在公园里闲逛。be provided with意为“被提供给”,故应用介词with。
5.解析:frightened。考查形容词。句意:如果你看到她张大嘴巴,不要害怕——她没有挨饿,也不是在要求食物,只是想要在炎热中给自己降降温。本空作表语,且句子主语指的是You,故应用形容词frightened,意为“害怕的”。
6.解析:but。考查连词。not...but...意为“不是……而是……”,故应用连词but。
7.解析:caught。考查时态。句意:2003年,当咸水鳄鱼从Shan Pui河中出现时,它第一次引起了我们的注意。根据时间状语in 2003可知,应用一般过去时caught。
8.解析:to stay。考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管她来自哪里是个谜,但人们猜测她是一只被非法饲养又遗弃的宠物,长得太大而不能待在家里。too...to do...意为“太……而不能……”,故应用不定式to stay。
9.解析:prepared。考查非谓语动词。句意:这只年轻的鳄鱼有着聪明的大脑,没有被专业猎人准备的诱饵骗到。本句中动作didn't take作谓语,本空作定语,被修饰名词bait和动词prepare之间为被动关系,故本空应用过去分词形式。
10.解析:was seized。考查时态和语态。句意:经过数月的追捕,这条鳄鱼于2004年被政府捕获。根据时间状语in 2004可知,本空应用一般过去时,且动词seize和句子主语the crocodile之间为被动关系,故本空应用一般过去时的被动语态。

Step One Lead-in
How would you feel if you encountered a bear in the forest and what should you do?
If I encounter a bear in the forest,I would feel extremely scared at first.But I know I should stay calm.First,I mustn't run.Instead,I should slowly back away while keeping an eye on the bear.Try to make myself look bigger by raising my arms or opening my coat.If the bear approaches,I can make loud noises to scare it away,like shouting or using a whistle if I have one.If it attacks,I should play dead,lying face-down and covering the back of my neck and head with my hands.

An Encounter①with Nature
As a nature photographer,I have to brave the elements②.But despite the wind and the rain,I still enjoy working outside in the wild.One of the best things about this job is that you can observe③ animals in their natural environment[1].
[1]that引导表语从句。
My favourite place to take photos is Yellowstone National Park.As the world's first national park,Yellowstone is famous for the variety④ of its wildlife,but it is probably best known for its bears.These huge,strong animals can live for 30 years.Despite a weight of up to 300 kilograms,they can run at a speed of around 64 kilometres per hour and are also excellent swimmers.
Last spring in Yellowstone,I followed a path⑤ that took me through a dark forest[2].When I finally stepped out of the trees,the view was breathtaking⑥.An eagle⑦ flew over the snow-capped mountains,which were reflected in the still lake below.While I was concentrating on⑧ photographing this amazing scene⑨,I suddenly had a feeling that I was being watched.Slowly,and with the camera still held to my eye[3],I turned...and froze.Only metres away from me was a bear.With water falling off its thick,brown hair,the bear stared back at⑩ me.Time stood still as the bear and I both waited to see who would move first.My legs started shaking.Somehow,I forced my finger to press the button⑪.A second later,the bear turned and ran back into the forest.When I recovered⑫ from the shock⑬,I looked at my camera.My most frightening but magical experience was now captured⑭ forever in a single image⑮.
[2]that引导的定语从句修饰path。

与大自然的不期而遇
作为一名自然摄影师,我必须勇敢地面对恶劣天气。尽管风雨交加,我仍然喜欢在野外工作。这份工作最棒的地方之一就是你可以在动物生存的自然环境中观察它们。
我最喜欢拍照的地方是黄石公园。作为世界上第一个国家公园,黄石公园因其野生生物的多样性而闻名,但最为出名的可能是公园内的熊。这些体型庞大、身体强壮的动物寿命长达30 年。尽管平均体重多达300 千克,它们却能以每小时约64 千米的速度奔跑,并且它们还是游泳健将。
去年春天,在黄石公园,我沿着一条小路穿过一片黑暗的森林。当我终于走出森林时,眼前的景色令人叹为观止。一只鹰飞过白雪皑皑的群山,群山倒映在下方平静的湖中。我正聚精会神地拍摄这惊人的景观,突然感觉有什么在盯着我。我慢慢地转身,相机还端在眼前……然后我僵住了。离我只有几米远的地方有只熊。水从它浓密的棕色毛发上落下来,这只熊回头盯着我。时间静止了,熊和我都等着看谁先行动。我的腿开始颤抖。不知怎么的,我迫使自己的手指按下了快门。不一会儿,熊转身跑回了森林。当我从震惊中恢复过来后,我看了看相机。我那最可怕但却最不可思议的经历现在被永远地记录到了这张图片中。
我会时不时地看看这张照片,以此来提醒我们要尊重所有动物。毕竟,我们才是他们世界的访客。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
(2025·山东日照高一上期中)Garvey-Darda is a wildlife biologist with the United States Forest Service.She wants to protect her beloved pikas and other creatures from a common threat: vehicles.The Federal Highway Administration says more than a million roadway accidents involving animals happen each year in the U.S.These collisions (碰撞) hurt wildlife and people.
One solution to this problem?Wildlife crossings.In the U.S.and around the world,bridges and underpasses are being built to help animals safely cross roads.
Banff National Park,in Alberta,Canada,is home to some of the most successful wildlife crossings.Completed in 2014,the crossings include 38 underpasses and six overpasses,or bridges.They prevent the park's animals,such as grizzly bears and cougars,from being struck while trying to cross the Trans-Canada Highway,which divides the park in half.According to Parks Canada,Banff's crossing system has reduced collisions with wildlife by more than 80%.
Safe pathways for wildlife have been built in several U.S.states,including Arizona,Utah,and Wyoming.In Washington State,Garvey-Darda is part of a major project.She's helping to design a set of about 20 wildlife crossings.“Banff has been the best model for us,” she says.The Washington State crossings are being built along a 15-mile stretch of Interstate 90 (I—90),one of the country's longest highways.This section of the highway cuts across the Cascade mountain range.It has affected the migration patterns of animals in the area.
Construction of the 20 crossings is expected to be completed by 2029.So far,six underpasses and one overpass have been built.Garvey-Darda says these crossings have already made a difference for migrating animals.“We now have close to 5,000 deer and elk going through the underpasses,” she says.“All of these animals were potential accidents.”
Washington locals can volunteer to plant vegetation on the I 90 overpass.Garvey-Darda says the plants will encourage animals,including her beloved pika,to use the crossings.“It's important to be active,” she says,“and not wait until a species is endangered.”
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了野生动生物学家 Garvey-Darda 正在与美国林务局合作,通过在华盛顿州建造野生动物通道来保护动物免受车辆碰撞。

A.Failing to find enough food.
B.Being hit when crossing roads.
C.Having their habitats destroyed.
D.Getting lost during their migration.
解析:选B。细节理解题。根据第一段 “The Federal Highway Administration says more than a million roadway accidents involving animals happen each year in the U.S.These collisions hurt wildlife and people.” 可知,美国每年发生超过一百万起涉及动物的道路交通事故,所以野生动物面临的威胁是过马路时被车辆撞到。故选B。
2.What do we know about Banff's crossing system?
A.It is advanced.
B.It is simple.
C.It works well.
D.It needs improvement.
解析:选C。推理判断题。从第三段 “According to Parks Canada,Banff's crossing system has reduced collisions with wildlife by more than 80%.” 可知,班夫的过路系统使与野生动物的碰撞减少了 80% 以上,说明这个系统卓有成效。故选C。
3.What can we infer from Garvey-Darda's words in the last paragraph?
A.Humans are too passive in protecting animals.
B.More and more animals are using the crossings.
C.More and more animals are becoming endangered.
D.Humans are responsible for killing so many animals.
解析:选A。推理判断题。Garvey-Darda的话表明人们应该积极行动,而不是等到物种濒危才行动,由此可推断人类在保护动物方面过于被动。故选A。
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Safe Travels
B.Repairing Crossings
C.Animal Migration
D.Tracking Wildlife
解析:选A。主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了通过建造野生动物通道来保护野生动物免受车辆碰撞的威胁,让野生动物安全过马路。故选A。

4( )
Sometimes pets may act really silly—and silliness generates laughter and fun.Cats and dogs love to play,and playing gives owners a chance to act silly,be natural,and revel in (着迷于) the fun of their pets' naughty.
Pets keep harmony in the home.
Pets may often be the reason a home feels like a home.They bring warmth and comfort to any situation,especially when hosting guests.Pets break the ice and become a way to welcome others into a home or even on the street.5( ) Pets bring happiness,and happiness is infectious (有感染力的)—a way to brighten everyone's day.
A.Pets let you be a kid again.
B.They require care on a daily basis.

It was a very hot day in late Summer.I was a young dad working in a local wood mill.It was dangerous,back-breaking work that paid very little.In the year I worked there,only four other people hadn't quit and been replaced with new faces.Those of us who stayed did so only because there was no other work to find to support our families.
On this day all of us were covered in sweat and dust.When I looked around,every face I saw looked angry and frustrated.Suddenly,a voice called out,“Hey! There's a deer in here.” A lost little female deer had wandered through the open loading bay doors and was now cowering (蜷缩) in between the huge stacks of wood.All of us stopped working and went looking for her as she ran about looking for a way out.
Now most people where I live hunt deer for meat in the Fall but also treat them with great kindness the rest of the year.Many will even buy 50 bags of corn to help feed them during the harsh Winter months.It was no surprise then that all of us were soon quickly working together to free this little creature.By blocking off all the other routes,we were able to guide her frantic search back to the open bay doors.We watched as she jumped out of the building and back into the woods.Then we walked back in to work.I noticed something,though.On every face there was a joyful smile.It was as if this one single act of kindness had energized us again and reminded us of what life is all about.

(2025·四川成都高一上期中)Aza Raskin is the co-founder and president of the Earth Species Project (ESP 地球物种计划),a non-profit that uses a form of artificial intelligence (AI) to translate non-human languages.ESP wants to use its machine learning technology to translate and make this important information widely available to the public.
Raskin underlined their goal to help protection by explaining,“The end we are working towards is that we can decode (解密) animal communication,discover the non-human language.Along the way and equally important is that we are developing technology that supports biologists and protection now.” ESP believes that understanding languages can help deepen our relationship with animals and allow us to more efficiently protect them.
In the past,understanding the communication of animals heavily depends on boring and lengthy observation.From primate calls of alarms to dolphin whistles,scientists have been crazy about the different forms of non-human communication present in these animals.With the development of new technologies,researchers have now begun to understand the huge amounts of data available through machine learning.
Elodie Briefer,an associate professor at the University of Copenhagen,has recently helped co-develop a pig grunt analyzing algorithm that helps scientists understand whether the pigs are expressing positive or negative emotions (情绪).However,ESP is dealing with decoding differently,by focusing on all species,not just one.The Earth Species Project believes that there is a possibility that social species communicate with each other,for example,whales and dolphins.
Although the members of the Earth Species Project believe that understanding AI machine learning data is only one step to full communication,they are hopeful that one day we will be able to understand the whole systems of communication.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。介绍了ESP组织正通过AI机器学习技术收集动物的交流信息解密动物语言,以帮助人类更好地了解动物,保护动物。
8.What is the final goal of ESP's work?

C.Making more money for study.
D.Applying AI to communication.
解析:选B。细节理解题。根据第二段 “Raskin underlined their goal to help protection by explaining...understanding languages can help deepen our relationship with animals and allow us to more efficiently protect them.” 可知,ESP 最终的目标是通过解密动物交流,发展技术来支持生物学家并实现对动物更好的保护,翻译动物语言只是过程中的一步,并非最终目标。所以 ESP 工作的最终目标是更好地保护动物。故选B。
9.How does ESP help researchers understand non-human communication?
A.It uses machine learning to provide information.
B.It calls for researchers to live with social animals.
C.It depends on large numbers of views on animals.
D.It compares the past researches with present ones.
解析:选A。细节理解题。第一段提到 “ESP wants to use its machine learning technology to translate and make this important information widely available to the public.”,且第三段指出 “With the development of new technologies,researchers have now begun to understand the huge amounts of data available through machine learning.”,说明 ESP 通过使用机器学习技术来分析数据,从而为研究人员提供信息,帮助他们理解非人类的交流。故选A。
10.What is the attitude of ESP towards fully understanding animal languages?
A.Unclear. B.Confident.
C.Doubtful. D.Curious.
解析:选B。推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although the members of the Earth Species Project believe that understanding AI machine learning data is only one step to full communication,they are hopeful that one day we will be able to understand the whole systems of communication.” 可知,尽管他们认为目前理解机器学习数据只是迈向全面交流的一步,但他们对有一天能够理解动物完整的交流系统充满希望,所以 ESP 对完全理解动物语言的态度是自信的。故选B。

(2025·河北衡水中学高一上期中)Nature works like a big clock.Everything is arranged in order and interconnected.Every part has its place and its role.Take the wolf for example.As meat-eaters,wolves regulate the number of plant-eaters so that they do not reproduce too many.All animals and plants are closely related in a system.
The wolves remind me of a story from my childhood when my grandfather gave me an old clock.The first thing I did was take the clock apart to find out how it worked.Even though I was sure that I knew how to put it back together in working order,I couldn't do it.After I rebuilt it,there were a few parts left over and a grandfather who was not in the best of moods.In the wild,wolves play the role of such parts.If we remove them,not only do the enemies of sheep and cattle disappear,but the system of nature also begins to run differently,so differently that rivers change course and many local bird species (物种) die out.
And things can also go wrong when a species is added.For example,the introduction of a nonnative fish leads to a great decrease in the local deer population.Because of a fish?The earth's ecosystems,it seems,are a bit too complex (复杂的) for us to draw up simple rules of cause and effect.Even protection work can have unexpected results.Who knew,for example,that recovering crane (鹤) populations in Europe would affect the production of Iberian ham?
So it's high time we took a good look at the interconnections between species both large and small.It's important for us to realize that even small interventions (干预) can have huge influences,and we'd do better to keep our hands off everything in nature that we do not have to touch.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。介绍了大自然就像一个巨大的钟表在运作。每样东西都排列整齐,相互联系。作者建议人们在干预自然界之前要三思而后行。
12.What does the underlined word “regulate” mean in Paragraph 1?
A.Control. B.Count.
C.Record. D.Increase.
解析:选A。词义猜测题。根据第一段“As meat-eaters,wolves regulate the number of plant-eaters so that they do not reproduce too many.” 可知,狼作为食肉动物,要让食草动物不会繁殖过多,也就是控制其数量,“regulate”有“控制” 之意。故选A。
13.What does the author want to show with the story in Paragraph 2?
A.Curiosity kills the cat.
B.Every part matters.
C.Clocks are hard to rebuild.
D.Grandfather's love lasts.
解析:选B。推理判断题。第二段作者讲述拆解钟后无法复原且剩下零件的故事,将狼比作钟里不可或缺的零件,说明在自然界中每个部分都很重要,移除狼(类似钟里的零件)会破坏自然系统,作者通过拆解闹钟却无法复原的故事,类比了如果移除自然界中的某个物种(如狼),就会导致整个生态系统失衡。故选B。
14.Why can things also go wrong when a species is added?
A.Local species will disappear soon.
B.Rules of cause and effect are simple in nature.
C.The interconnections in nature are complex.
D.Protection projects are too hard to complete.
解析:选C。细节理解题。由第三段“The earth's ecosystems,it seems,are a bit too complex (复杂的) for us to draw up simple rules of cause and effect.” 可知,地球生态系统过于复杂,我们难以制定简单的因果规则,所以引入一个物种会出问题是因为自然界的相互联系很复杂。故选C。
15.What does the author suggest people do?
A.Pay more attention to small animals.
B.Stay away from protection work.
C.Take a new look at meat-eaters.
D.Think twice before stepping in.
解析:选D。推理判断题。根据最后一段 “we'd do better to keep our hands off everything in nature that we do not have to touch” 可知,作者建议我们对不必要触碰的自然事物保持谨慎,也就是在干预自然之前要三思。故选D。

For outdoor lovers,it is important to be prepared for any kind of natural disasters in the open air.That means having a disaster response plan.16( ) And it also should include what resources should be taken on your trip.
Different types of disasters are likely to occur in different areas.Desert areas are more likely to be affected by droughts; coastal regions are more likely to see hurricanes; avalanches may occur in mountainous areas in winter and landslides in summer.17( ) This can help you find the right survival ways in different conditions.
18( ) Any disaster that may separate you from other people for a period of time will require you to provide your own food,water,and shelter for at least a few days.It's also a good idea to bring light sources.For disasters that may wet your equipment,flameless light sources are a must.What you bring should be suited to the disaster you might face.
Once you complete your survival plan,it's better to review it periodically.When a natural disaster strikes,you probably won't have time to go over a document or go online to seek advice.19( )
If a natural disaster strikes while you are in the wild,you should put your survival plan into effect immediately.First of all,stay calm,act decisively,and begin working to keep yourself alive.20( ) Do not wait around to see if the disaster is really that serious,do not panic,and do not easily abandon your plan.
A.Then contact others for help.
B.It includes the types of disasters that may occur.
C.Therefore,always do some research ahead of time.
D.So,revising it frequently is strongly recommended.
E.But you can turn to some experts for help in person.
F.These disasters can lead to extremely serious consequences.
G.While planning,the most important thing to consider is what to pack.

16.解析:选B。前文提到要有灾难应对计划,后文说计划还应包括旅行中携带什么资源。B项“它包括可能发生的灾难类型。”承接前文的灾难应对计划,又与后文提到的计划内容相呼应。
17.解析:选C。前面列举了不同地区可能发生的不同自然灾害,C项 “因此,一定要提前做一些调查研究。”与前文不同地区的灾害情况相衔接,因为不同地区灾害不同,所以需要提前调研,以便找到合适的生存方法。后文中“This”代词指代C项内容。
18.解析:选G。该空后面提到任何可能使你与他人分离一段时间的灾难都需要你准备食物、水等,也就是在说旅行时要携带的东西。G项“在做计划时,最重要的是考虑打包什么。”符合这一段关于旅行携带物品的主旨。
19.解析:选D。前面说一旦完成生存计划,最好定期回顾。D项“所以,强烈建议经常修改它。”与前文定期回顾相呼应,因为定期回顾所以要经常修改。
20.解析:选A。前文说当自然灾害发生时,要立即实施生存计划,先保持冷静,果断采取行动,让自己活下来。A项 “然后联系他人寻求帮助。”与前文的行动步骤相承接,先自救再求救。

[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。印度东北部的梅加拉亚地区由树木的活根制成的桥梁被列入联合国教科文组织的世界遗产名录。
36.解析:areas。考查名词复数。句意:该地区雨量充沛,是地球上最潮湿的地区之一。“one of+the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”是固定结构,表示“最……之一”,所以此处用复数形式areas。
37.解析:a。考查冠词。句意:这里因此形成了大量的湖泊、河流和瀑布,使得修路变得困难。“a number of”表示“大量的”,修饰后面的名词。
38.解析:making。考查非谓语动词。句意:这里因此形成了大量的湖泊、河流和瀑布,使得修路变得困难。前面整个句子描述的情况导致了“建造道路困难” 这一结果,此处用现在分词作结果状语,表“自然而然”的结果。
39.解析:their。考查代词。句意:然而,几百年来,当地的卡西人一直在尽最大努力在河流和小溪上种植根桥,使他们更容易在该地区走动。try one's best to do表示“尽某人最大的努力做”,用形容词性物主代词their。
40.解析:easier。考查形容词。句意:然而,几百年来,当地的卡西人一直在尽最大努力在河流和小溪上种植根桥,使他们更容易在该地区走动。much 常用来修饰形容词比较级,根据语境,建造根桥是为了让他们在这个地区走动更容易,所以用easy的比较级 easier。
41.解析:are built。考查动词语态和主谓一致。句意:建造这种桥需要延伸河上活树的根,将其缠绕在竹结构上并加以引导。句子主语 The bridges 和 build 之间是被动关系,且描述的是一般事实,用一般现在时的被动语态。
42.解析:direction。考查名词。句意参见上题。“in the right direction” 意为 “朝着正确的方向”,这里需要用 direct 的名词形式 direction。
43.解析:to grow。考查非谓语动词。句意:树根需要20年才能长成一座完整的桥。“take+时间+to do sth.” 是固定句型,表示 “花费时间做某事”,所以填 to grow。
44.解析:to。考查介词。句意:印度政府建议将梅加拉亚邦的根桥列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录,这意味着他们将被正式承认。“add...to...” 是固定短语,意为“把……添加到……”,此处表示把根桥添加到联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录中,故填 to。
45.解析:which。 考查定语从句。句意参考上题。本空引导非限制性定语从句,指代梅加拉亚邦的根桥列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录这件事情,故应用关系代词which。

The decline in wildlife populations is a deeply concerning issue.As is known to all,human activities are mainly to blame.Habitat loss caused by deforestation and urban expansion,along with overhunting and pollution,has pushed numerous species to the edge of extinction,which is really heart-breaking.
Immediate actions must be taken.First of all,we should respect their habitats to provide a better living environment for them.Secondly,strict laws against illegal hunting need to be enforced.What's more,we can launch educational campaigns to raise people's awareness.
Let's join hands without delay.Every small effort counts.Only by protecting wildlife can we maintain the balance of nature and secure a sustainable future for ourselves.

(2025·吉林四平第三高级中高一上期末)In a beautiful village,there lived an elderly woman named Mei-Ling.She was known far and wide for her gentle behaviour and selfless kindness.Despite having very little,Mei-Ling was always ready to share what she had with others,whether it was a warm meal or a comforting smile.
One cool Autumn day,as Mei-Ling was working in her garden,she noticed a young traveller Wei sitting by the roadside looking very tired.Without hesitation (犹豫),Mei-Ling invited Wei into her house and offered him food and water.Grateful beyond words,Wei shared stories of his travels and the difficulties he had faced along the way.
As days turned into weeks.Wei helped Mei-Ling around the house.In return,Mei-Ling shared her wisdom with Wei,teaching him about the importance of compassion (同情) and gratitude (感恩).They became good friends with each passing day.And Wei found himself deeply influenced by Mei-Ling's simple yet meaningful way of life.
One evening,under the glow of the harvest moon,Wei asked Mei-Ling a question that had been weighing on his mind.“Mci-Ling,” he began hesitantly,“what makes someone truly beautiful?” Mei-Ling smiled knowingly and looked at the garden they had taken care of together.
“True beauty,” Mei-Ling replied softly,“is not found in outward appearances or material wealth.It is in the kindness we show to others,the love we share with those around us,and the peace we bring to our hearts.” Wei nodded thoughtfully.
Wei eventually said goodbye to Mei-Ling,setting off on a new journey with a heart full of gratitude and a soul enriched by Mei-Ling's teachings.Meanwhile,Mei-Ling continued to take care of her garden and welcome tired travellers into her home.The villagers admired Mei-Ling not only for her generosity but also for her wisdom.
