B Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever. 41. What do we know about the author? A His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge. B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer. C. He took pride in having contributed to the world. D. He felt honored to study English literature. 42. According to the Project Lighthouse, it is likely that the author______________. A. discussed his decision with his family. B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary work C. attended special training to perform difficult tasks D. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends 43. In his application for the volunteer job, the author _______________. A. participated in many discussions B. went through challenging survival tests C. wrote quite a few paper on voluntary work D. faced strong competition from other candidates 44. On arrival at the village, the author was ___________. A. asked to lead a farming team B. sent to teach in schoolhouse C. received warmly by local villagers D. arranged to live in a separate house. 45. What can we infer from the author’s experiences in Nigeria? A. He found some difficulty adapting to the local culture B. He had learned to communicate in the local language. C. He had overcome all his weakness before he left for home. D. He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students. C When adult humans meet a baby, many can't help speaking in a higher-pitched(更高音的), sing-songy voice. This shift, known as parentese, is not unique to humans—it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas(大猩猩). Now, scientists are adding one more species to that list: bottlenose dolphins. Dolphins are intelligent animals that live and hunt in groups. They communicate in a unique way: every individual produces its own signature sound that acts much like an ID card, usually by its first birthday. But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle? For babies, it might have something to do with listening to Mum. To solve this mystery, researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins make. Scientists studied 34 years' worth of recordings of sounds made by 19 female bottlenose dolphins. When the mother dolphins were near their young, they continued to make their signature sound, but at a higher frequency. They also used a wider range of frequencies than they did when their babies were not nearby. This discovery suggests that using these modifications(改进) mother dolphins assist their young in learning how to produce these calls themselves. Since dolphin babies often spend some years with their mothers before living on their own, it makes sense that this adaptation would help them learn to communicate. At the very least, the higher-pitched whistle likely gets the babies' attention. “It's important for a baby to know, ‘Oh, Mum' s talking to me now, ’” says marine biologist June Mann. This kind of research could help us understand how language developed in humans. “It is absolutely essential to have basic knowledge about other species and how they communicate, ” says Mann. “I would be really interested to see whether dolphins also change their sounds when interacting with babies of others, which is what happens in humans. ” 46. The underlined word “parentese” in the first paragraph most likely means _________. A. baby-directed speech B. dolphin signature whistles C. animal parenting strategies D. voice identification systems 47. What do the underlined words “this mystery” refer to in paragraph 2? A. How dolphins develop their unique sounds. B. Why dolphins live and play with their parents. C. What aspects of intelligence dolphins possess. D. Whether dolphins can use parentese like humans. 48. How did the researchers carry out their study of dolphins? A. By recording parent interaction frequency. B. By analyzing mother dolphins' sound features. C. By measuring the distance between parent and child. D. By examining the speech organs of mother dolphins. 49. What is a reason for dolphin mothers' using parentese with their young? A. To distract their attention. B. To help them learn to talk. C. To express worry and care. D. To teach them hunting skills. 50. What is the purpose of the text? A. To show the development of dolphin intelligence. B. To compare the parentese of humans and dolphins. C. To share new findings about dolphin communication. D. To highlight the value of studying dolphins' language. 四、阅读表达（本题共5小题，每题2分，共10分） As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches, we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg’s Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us. Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem. Sharks, in particular, are “in” these days. Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee, killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool. The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction (灭绝)—up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins. But we have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu. In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations. Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years. These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins. Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products. These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing marine life. Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys, killing animals is big business. The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury (奢侈的) goods has become a fall-scale war. The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals. 51. Why do people begin to make efforts to protect the declining number of sharks? (No more than 15 words) ______________________________________________________ 52. What’s the main reason for killing sharks? (No more than 10 Words) ______________________________________________________ 53. Who helped California decide to ban the sale and possession of shark fin soup? (No more than 5 Words) ______________________________________________________ 54. What does the underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word) ______________________________________________________ 55. In your opinion, what’s the best way to stop killing animals? (No more than 20 words) ______________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 天津四中2025级高一上学期学情调查二一英语 一、单项选择（本题共15小题，每题1分，共15分） 1.

My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever. 41. What do we know about the author? A. His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge. B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer. C. He took pride in having contributed to the world. D. He felt honored to study English literature. 42. According to the Project Lighthouse, it is likely that the author______________. A. discussed his decision with his family. B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary work C. attended special training to perform difficult tasks D. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends 43. In his application for the volunteer job, the author _______________. A. participated in many discussions B. went through challenging survival tests C. wrote quite a few paper on voluntary work D. faced strong competition from other candidates 44. On arrival at the village, the author was ___________. A. asked to lead a farming team B. sent to teach in schoolhouse C. received warmly by local villagers D. arranged to live in a separate house. 45.

This shift, known as parentese, is not unique to humans—it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas(大猩猩). Now, scientists are adding one more species to that list: bottlenose dolphins. Dolphins are intelligent animals that live and hunt in groups. They communicate in a unique way: every individual produces its own signature sound that acts much like an ID card, usually by its first birthday. But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle? For babies, it might have something to do with listening to Mum. To solve this mystery, researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins make. Scientists studied 34 years' worth of recordings of sounds made by 19 female bottlenose dolphins. When the mother dolphins were near their young, they continued to make their signature sound, but at a higher frequency. They also used a wider range of frequencies than they did when their babies were not nearby. This discovery suggests that using these modifications(改进) mother dolphins assist their young in learning how to produce these calls themselves. Since dolphin babies often spend some years with their mothers before living on their own, it makes sense that this adaptation would help them learn to communicate. At the very least, the higher-pitched whistle likely gets the babies' attention. “It's important for a baby to know, ‘Oh, Mum' s talking to me now, ’” says marine biologist June Mann. This kind of research could help us understand how language developed in humans. “It is absolutely essential to have basic knowledge about other species and how they communicate, ” says Mann. “I would be really interested to see whether dolphins also change their sounds when interacting with babies of others, which is what happens in humans. ” 46. The underlined word “parentese” in the first paragraph most likely means _________. A. baby-directed speech B. dolphin signature whistles C. animal parenting strategies D. voice identification systems 47. What do the underlined words “this mystery” refer to in paragraph 2? A. How dolphins develop their unique sounds. B. Why dolphins live and play with their parents. C. What aspects of intelligence dolphins possess. D. Whether dolphins can use parentese like humans. 48. How did the researchers carry out their study of dolphins? A. By recording parent interaction frequency. B. By analyzing mother dolphins' sound features. C. By measuring the distance between parent and child. D. By examining the speech organs of mother dolphins. 49. What is a reason for dolphin mothers' using parentese with their young? A. To distract their attention. B. To help them learn to talk. C. To express worry and care. D. To teach them hunting skills. 50. What is the purpose of the text? A. To show the development of dolphin intelligence. B. To compare the parentese of humans and dolphins. C. To share new findings about dolphin communication. D. To highlight the value of studying dolphins' language. 【答案】46. A 47. A 48. B 49. B 50. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了海豚妈妈通过教授幼崽使用独特的声音来教会幼崽说话。文章解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的意义。 【46题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“When adult humans meet a baby, many can't help speaking in a higher-pitched, sing-songy voice. This shift, known as parentese(当成年人类遇到婴儿时，许多人会情不自禁地用更高音调、像唱歌一样的声音说话。这种转变被称为 parentese)”可知，parentese 指的是成年人对婴儿说话时所采用的这种特殊的说话方式，即面向婴儿的言语。故选A。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle? For babies, it might have something to do with listening to Mum. To solve”（但是，每只海豚是如何想出自己独特的口哨的呢？对于婴儿来说，这可能与听妈妈说话有关。为了解开）以及后文“researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins make.”（研究人员研究了海豚妈妈发出的声音）可知，海豚发出独特的声音与听到海豚妈妈的声音有关，所以为了解“海豚如何发出独特的声音”这个谜团，研究人员检查了海豚妈妈发出的声音。故划线词指的是“海豚如何发出独特的声音”。故选A。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Scientists studied 34 years’ worth of recordings of sounds made by 19 female bottlenose dolphins.(科学家们研究了19只雌性宽吻海豚34年来的声音记录)”可知，研究人员通过分析母海豚的声音特征对海豚进行研究。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“This discovery suggests that using these modifications mother dolphins assist their young in learning how to produce these calls themselves.(这一发现表明，利用这些变化，海豚妈妈帮助它们的孩子学习如何自己发出这些叫声)”可知，海豚妈妈对幼崽使用父母语的原因是帮助它们学会说话。故选B。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When adult humans meet a baby, many can't help speaking in a higher-pitched(更高音的), sing-songy voice. This shift, known as  parentese , is not unique to humans—it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas(大猩猩). Now, scientists are adding one more species to that list: bottlenose dolphins.(当成年人遇到婴儿时，许多人会情不自禁地用一种高亢的歌声说话。这种被称为“父母性”的转变并不是人类独有的，猴子和大猩猩等动物也有这种现象。现在，科学家们又增加了一个物种：宽吻海豚)”结合文章主要说明了海豚妈妈通过教授幼崽使用独特的声音来教会幼崽说话。文章解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的意义。可知，文章的目的是分享海豚交流的新发现。故选C。 四、阅读表达（本题共5小题，每题2分，共10分） As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg’s Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us. Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem. Sharks, in particular, are “in” these days. Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee, killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool. The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction (灭绝)—up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins. But we have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu. In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations. Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years. These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins. Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products. These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing marine life. Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys, killing animals is big business. The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury (奢侈的) goods has become a fall-scale war. The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals. 51. Why do people begin to make efforts to protect the declining number of sharks? (No more than 15 words) ______________________________________________________ 52. What’s the main reason for killing sharks? (No more than 10 Words) ______________________________________________________ 53. Who helped California decide to ban the sale and possession of shark fin soup? (No more than 5 Words) ______________________________________________________ 54. What does the underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word) ______________________________________________________ 55. In your opinion, what’s the best way to stop killing animals? (No more than 20 words) ______________________________________________________ 【答案】51. Because the world has realized that we need sharks to keep a balanced eco-system. 52. People kill sharks just for their fins. 53. Wild Aid and other organizations. 54. Change. 55. In my opinion, stopping selling and purchasing the animal products is the best way to stop killing animals. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述的是人们意识到了鲨鱼对于保持生态平衡的重要性，并开始采取行动保护日益减少的鲨鱼，同时也分析了鲨鱼数量减少的原因，并呼吁人们减少对野生动物产品的需求来减少对野生动物的猎杀。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据首段中的“Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem.(然而，我们高兴地看到全球努力保护日益减少的鲨鱼数量。世界已经意识到，我们需要像鲨鱼这样的物种来保持生态系统的平衡。)”可知，为什么人们开始努力保护数量下降的鲨鱼是因为世界已经意识到我们需要鲨鱼来维持生态系统的平衡。。故答案是Because the world has realized that we need sharks to keep a balanced ecosystem. 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction (灭绝)—up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins.(几十年来，对鱼翅的需求一直在上升，威胁着鲨鱼的灭绝——每年仅为了鱼翅就杀死多达 1 亿条鲨鱼。)”可知，人们对鲨鱼翅的需求在日益增长，所以猎杀鲨鱼主要是为了得到鲨鱼翅。故答案是People kill sharks just for their fins. 【53题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations.(在加利福尼亚州，通过野生援助组织和其他组织的努力，禁止销售和拥有鱼翅汤的禁令已于今年生效。)”可知，在Wild Aid and other organizations的努力下，禁止销售和持有鱼翅汤的禁令开始生效。故答案是Wild Aid and other organizations. 【54题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的“The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction (灭绝)—up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins.(几十年来，对鱼翅的需求一直在上升，威胁着鲨鱼的灭绝——每年仅为了鱼翅就杀死多达 1 亿条鲨鱼。)”可知，由于对鲨鱼翅的需求日益增加，每年就有1亿多条鲨鱼被猎杀，结合下文中的but可知，划线单词所在的句子与该句的内容是转折关系，结合“we have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu.(我们已经开始reverse这一趋势，特别是在美国和海外的许多地区，餐馆曾经自豪地在菜单上提供美味的鱼翅。)”可知，很多地区的这一趋势发生了翻转，由此可推断，reverse的意思为“改变”。故答案是Change. 【55题详解】 开放型题目。根据文章最后一段中的“Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals.(美国与国际伙伴一道，正在领导全世界减少对依赖杀害动物的高端产品的需求的努力。)”可知，减少对高端产品的需求可以减少对野生动物的杀害，所以，在我看来禁止野生动物产品的买卖是最好的组织猎杀野生动物的方法。故答案是In my opinion, stopping selling and purchasing the animal products is the best way to stop killing animals. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
