三、阅读理解
Kenya is famous for its rich wildlife, including elephants, lions, and giraffes. However, these iconic animals have been facing serious challenges in recent decades. The rapid growth of human population has led to the expansion of farmland and settlements, which has destroyed large areas of wildlife habitats. Illegal poaching for ivory, fur, and other animal products has also caused a sharp decline in the number of many species.
To address these problems, the Kenyan government has taken strong actions. It has increased the number of rangers in national parks and strengthened law enforcement to crack down on illegal poaching. In addition, the government has launched community-based conservation programs, encouraging local people to participate in wildlife protection. For example, some villages have set up eco-tourism projects, which allow visitors to observe wildlife while providing income for the local community. This not only reduces the pressure on farmers to destroy habitats for farmland but also makes people realize the economic value of protecting wildlife.
International cooperation has also played a key role. Many countries and international organizations have provided financial and technical support to Kenya’s wildlife protection efforts. For instance, they have helped train rangers and improve monitoring systems to track the movement of endangered animals.
Thanks to these joint efforts, the situation has improved significantly. The number of elephants in Kenya has increased from about 36,000 in 2014 to over 45,000 in 2023. Lions, which were once on the verge of decline, have also seen a steady recovery. Experts believe that with continuous efforts, Kenya’s wildlife will continue to thrive, and the country will remain a global model for wildlife protection.
1.What can we infer from the first paragraph about Kenya’s wildlife?
A. It has been completely protected in recent years
B. Human activities are the main cause of its troubles
C. Illegal poaching is the only threat to it
D. It is not as famous as before due to population decline
2.Why are eco-tourism projects helpful for wildlife protection?
A. They let visitors directly take part in animal rescue
B. They help local people earn money without destroying habitats
C. They provide enough food and water for endangered animals
D. They allow rangers to control the number of wildlife
3.What does the underlined word “thrive” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Disappear gradually
B. Survive in difficulty
C. Develop well and grow
D. Face new challenges
4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

三、阅读理解
1.答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段“The rapid growth of human population has led to the expansion of farmland... Illegal poaching... has also caused a sharp decline”可知,人口增长导致栖息地破坏、非法偷猎等人类活动是肯尼亚野生动物面临困境的主要原因。A项“完全被保护”与原文“facing serious challenges”矛盾;C项“唯一威胁”错误,原文明确提到栖息地破坏和非法偷猎两大威胁;D项“不如以前有名”文中未提及,属于无中生有。
2.答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段“some villages have set up eco-tourism projects... providing income for the local community. This not only reduces the pressure on farmers to destroy habitats”可知,生态旅游项目让当地人通过合法途径获得收入,无需为扩大农田而破坏野生动物栖息地,从而间接保护了野生动物。A项“游客直接参与救援”、C项“提供食物和水”、D项“控制野生动物数量”均未在原文提及,属于过度推断。
3.答案:C
解析:词义猜测题。根据前文“The number of elephants... increased... Lions... have also seen a steady recovery”可知,肯尼亚野生动物保护已取得显著成效,因此专家预测持续努力下,野生动物会“蓬勃发展”。A项“逐渐消失”与语境相反;B项“艰难生存”不符合“数量增长、稳步恢复”的背景;D项“面临新挑战”无原文依据,故选C。
4.答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。文章开篇介绍肯尼亚野生动物面临的威胁,随后详细阐述政府、社区及国际社会采取的联合保护措施,最后强调保护成效,核心目的是“展示肯尼亚通过多方努力在野生动物保护方面取得的成就”。A项“介绍现状”仅概括部分内容;B项“解释濒危原因”只对应第一段;D项“强调国际合作的重要性”过于片面,原文突出“联合努力”,而非单一依赖国际合作。
四、课文语法填空
1.species考查名词单复数。
解析:“species”为高考高频单复数同形名词,此处受“more and more”修饰,表“更多物种”,故用原形。
2.to survive 考查非谓语动词。
解析:考查高考核心句型“make it + adj. + for sb./sth. to do sth.”,“it”为形式宾语,真正宾语是不定式短语,故填to survive。
3.our考查代词。
解析:修饰名词“future”需用形容词性物主代词,“we”的形容词性物主代词为our。
4.establishing 考查非谓语动词。
解析:介词“for”后接动名词作宾语,“plans for establishing”表示“建立……的计划”,动名词作宾语是高考非谓语动词常考点。
5.have been passed考查动词时态语态。
解析:时间状语“since last year”是现在完成时的标志,主语“laws”与“pass”为被动关系(法律被通过),故用现在完成时被动语态。
6.made考查非谓语动词。
解析:“products”与“make”为被动关系(产品由……制成),过去分词作后置定语。
7.that/which考查定语从句。
解析:先行词“volunteer groups”为物,从句中缺少主语,用关系代词that/which引导定语从句。
8.if 考查连词。
解析:结合上下文逻辑,此处表“如果我们坚持这些努力”,用连词if引导条件状语从句,是高考连词常考类型。
9. counts 考查动词时态与主谓一致。
解析:陈述客观事实用一般现在时,主语“every small action”为单数,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式counts(意为“重要”)。
10.in 考查介词。
解析:考查高考核心固定搭配“play a key role in doing sth.”,意为“在……中起关键作用”,故填介词in。
