In late spring and early summer each year,tens of millions of butterflies come out of their chrysalises(蛹) in the butterfly valley in southwest China's Yunnan Province.For butterfly expert Yang Zhenwen,it is the busiest time of the year,but he greets it with great enthusiasm.
Before the break of dawn,Yang has already arrived at the observation point,busily tending to the needs of the awakening butterflies.“Due to warmer temperatures,the‘butterfly explosion’ this year occurred slightly earlier than usual,and the size of the butterflies is larger than that in previous years,” said 46-year-old Yang,curator(馆长) of the butterfly valley museum.“We expect that there will be about 80 million to 100 million butterflies in the valley during this year's‘butterfly explosion’.That seems so crazy,” said Yang.According to Yang,in the valley,more than 320 butterfly species have been identified in specimens(标本) or photographs,including the rarest,most primitive,largest and smallest butterflies in China.
Besides Yang,many local villages have also took on the role of butterfly guardians.However,the journey toward achieving human-butterfly harmony was far from easy.Some two decades ago,the villagers had little awareness of butterfly protection,believing wrongly that butterflies could endanger their food crops.They viewed them as pests that should be removed.
In 1998,Yang began his journey at the agricultural science station in Ma'an'di Township,the very place where the butterfly valley lies.“It was there that I got into a frequent dilemma—the local villagers,trying to protect their crops,would often turn to pesticides to kill the butterflies,” he said.“However,my sincere love for these creatures forced me to prevent them from harming the delicate insects.”
Now,the development of ecotourism relying on butterfly resources has successfully changed the once extremely poor township.More villagers have started reproducing butterflies.He describes the butterfly valley as a “dream-making machine”,which extends the“butterfly dream” of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了蝴蝶专家杨镇文多年来致力于保护蝴蝶,并付出艰苦努力的故事。
1.What made Yang's aim to reach human-butterfly harmony hard in the beginning?
A.Warm temperature in local villages.
B.The number and size of the butterflies.
C.Improper location of the butterfly valley.
D.Lack of awareness of butterfly protection.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中“Some two decades ago,the villagers had little awareness of butterfly protection,believing wrongly that butterflies could endanger their food crops.They viewed them as pests that should be removed.”可知,当地村民缺乏保护蝴蝶的意识让杨镇文想要达成人与蝴蝶和谐的目标在一开始变得困难。故选 D。
2.What does the underlined word“dilemma”in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.A choice difficult to make.
B.A fact obvious to understand.
C.A duty hard to carry out.
D.A situation easy to deal with.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“the local villagers,trying to protect their crops,would often turn to pesticides to kill the butterflies”以及“However,my sincere love for these creatures forced me to prevent them from harming the delicate insects.”可知,一方面当地村民为了保护自己的庄稼,经常使用杀虫剂来杀死蝴蝶,另一方面杨镇文对这些生物真挚的爱迫使他阻止他们伤害这些脆弱的昆虫。即他面临一个很难做出的选择。故画线词 dilemma意为“一个很难做出的选择”。故选 A。
3.Which of the following best describe Yang Zhenwen?
A.Honest and professional.
B.Humorous and creative.
C.Generous and easy-going.
D.Hard-working and strong-willed.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中“For butterfly expert Yang Zhenwen,it is the busiest time of the year,but he greets it with great enthusiasm.”和第二段中“Before the break of dawn,Yang has already arrived at the observation point,busily tending to the needs of the awakening butterflies.”以及倒数第二段中“However,my sincere love for these creatures forced me to prevent them from harming the delicate insects.”可推知,杨镇文工作努力,意志坚强。故选 D。
4.Which can be a suitable title for the passage?
A.Changing the Poor State of a Town
B.Volunteering as a Butterfly Guardian
C.Helping Butterflies Spread Their Wings
D.Developing a Relationship with the Locals
答案:C
解析:标题归纳题。通读全文,并根据第一段内容可知,文章主要介绍了蝴蝶专家杨镇文多年来致力于保护蝴蝶,描述了他为蝴蝶的保护工作付出的努力。由此可知,C选项“帮助蝴蝶展翅”最适合作文章标题。故选 C。

(2023·四川遂宁高一期末)
Across much of Spain on Tuesday morning,a thin layer of red dust covered everything outside.This included cars,buses,trees,and plants.
As the sun rose,the dust in the air turned the skies in some cities a strange orange.The cause of the dust and unusual sky colour wasn't a forest fire,but the dust from the Sahara Desert.Every year,a large cloud of dust rises from the Sahara Desert.It's called the Saharan Air Layer.Usually,it crosses the Atlantic Ocean as part of a natural cycle(循环) that helps develop farmland in Central and South America.
But sometimes,depending on the weather,the layer of dust gets forced to the north.Large sandstorms in North Africa lift sand and dust into the air,where it gets blown towards Spain.This kind of storm isn't unknown in Spain.In fact,it has a special name—“calima”.It is so large that it can be seen from space.A NASA scientist says it's like a river of dust in the air.That river of dust has met a river of wet air driven by strong winds.People in some cities,like Málaga and Navarra,reported that it was “raining mud (泥)”.In other places,the dust changed the colour of the snow on the ground.
The dust cloud continued to spread north and west,hitting both France and the United Kingdom.The dust is expected to keep spreading,possibly as far north as Denmark.The dust cloud may make some places a little foggy and sunsets very colourful.
Some weather experts warn that climate change could make dust storms from the Sahara Desert even more intense in the future.
