Fat Bear Week started in 2014.At first it was just Fat Bear Tuesday.Mike Fitz,a former park keeper at Katmai,noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments,so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet.The one-day event attracted 1,700 votes.In 2015,it was extended to a week.Last year,nearly 800,000 people got involved,turning it into a global campaign. The contest serves two main purposes.First,some of America’s national parks are in remote and undeveloped areas,which are difficult or costly to reach.Fat Bear Week brings Alaska’s wilderness to fans’ computer screens.“It’s not limited to the fortunate few who can go to the river anymore,” Fitz said. Second,Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live in.The 2,200 bears of Katmai are strong for feeding on some of the healthiest salmon(三文鱼) in the world,said Sara Wolman,a former park keeper.Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing,dam construction and warming rivers due to climate change.Luckily,Brooks River,which Katmai’s bears like to fish in,has been free from these threats so far. Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses.Fans and creators say it’s because it shows a conservation success story.For one week,people don’t have to focus on climate change or habitat loss.“Maybe things aren’t super great all the time in the world,” said Felicia Jimenez,who is a current Katmai keeper.“But there are some really fat bears in Alaska.” 1.Why did Bear 747 become the winner of Fat Bear Week in southern Alaska? A.It gained the most pounds. B.It was the heaviest. C.It presented the best photos. D.It was the most famous. 2.Why did Mike Fitz extend Fat Bear Tuesday to a week-long event in 2015? A.To reduce the cost of managing the online voting system. B.To attract more tourists to visit Katmai National Park in person. C.To increase public engagement with the bears’ ecological importance. D.To allow bears more time to gain weight to ensure a fairer competition. 3.What can we learn about Katmai’s bears? A.They can only be observed closely during Fat Bear Week. B.Their population has increased due to protective measures. C.They have a stable food source thanks to the well-preserved river. D.They’re the main reason why tourists visit the park throughout the year. 4.Which can be the best title for the text? A.Fat Bear Week:Conservation Is Joyful B.Brown Bears:Winter Survival Is Crucial C.Bear 747:A Fat Yet Healthy Champion D.Katmai’s Bears:A Special Beauty Contest B (2025浙江杭州绿城育华学校高二期末) “How many of us as children have stared up at a church-like top of a giant tree and climbed it in wonder,which is a really special part of our lives?” asks Bill Laurance,a tropical ecologist at James Cook University.“The leaves of big trees in forests are spreading out in all directions.We’re faced with organisms that have evolved for long periods of ecological stability.” “There’s a lot to discuss on the issue,” says David Lindenmayer,a conservation ecologist at the Australian National University.“Climate change will mean that,in some forests,big trees won’t reach the same sizes they used to.” The effects of climate change,including long droughts,more invasive species and so on increase the simple physical challenges that big trees face in pulling water from their roots to their leaves and withstanding windstorms. Lindenmayer and Laurance define “large,old trees” as the largest five percent mature trees within a species.The flexible definition means that in some forests,the large,old trees might be only 20 meters tall and 100 years old. These large,old trees control the surrounding plant communities,affect water and nutrient distribution,and provide food and shelter for wildlife.“They’re really the breadbaskets of the forest,” says Laurance.“This is a very environmentally and ecologically important group of organisms,and they need special care and handling.” Determining the distribution and habitat requirements for large,old trees in the landscape is the first step towards ensuring their survival.“We have to ensure that what we’re thinking is long-term,to match the way these trees have existed for hundreds or even thousands of years,” says Laurance.“It’s going to be a real challenge to keep some places where there is still wildlife and the big church-like trees that we all really care about.” 5.How does the author lead in the topic of the text? A.By definition. B.By comparison. C.By quoting someone’s words. D.By drawing some conclusions. 6.What can we learn about big trees from paragraph 2? A.They are affected by various factors. B.They have become shorter but thicker. C.They easily pull water from their roots. D.They grow taller because of climate change. 7.Which of the following does Laurance want to express in the last paragraph? A.The plants around control trees’ survival. B.It is necessary to take good care of big trees. C.Big trees mainly depend on wildlife for survival. D.Planting big trees is the first step in forest protection. 8.What can be the best title for the text? A.Protect Forest Giants B.Keep Ecological Stability C.Deal with Forest Organisms D.Fight Against Climate Change Ⅴ.七选五 (2025江苏江阴成化高级中学高二5月月考) AI is having a moment.The media are full of it.Disadvantages abound(有很多),but there’s also a bright side to AI,because it holds out some practical promise in tackling a number of stubborn challenges.　1　.  Monitor the forests The rainforests of South America may be under threat,but they’re still vast and remote enough to make monitoring them a real challenge.Satellite monitoring brings a host of benefits such as wide-area coverage and real-time data collection.　2　.It has high costs and is easily affected by bad weather which can make the data inaccurate.Drones(无人机),equipped with advanced cameras and motion sensors,can fly almost silently through the trees,spotting the slightest sign of illegal logging(伐木) or other activities.　3　.And it can give immediate responses to potential threats.  Protect wild animals Some of the world’s most precious and endangered species are,by definition,the most elusive(难以发现的),as are many of the hidden threats facing them.　4　.It is helping identify and track individual creatures in remote environments,from the snow leopards to whales and dolphins,giving vital information for conservation strategies.In Uganda and South Africa,wildlife guardians are using a combination of drone cameras and AI tools to anticipate the movements of illegal hunters trying to kill rhinos or elephants,allowing the guardians to move quickly before the deadly shots are fired.  　5　  AI can scan vast amounts of data from diverse sources,compare and analyze them,and present an adapted result to the screen of a basic smartphone in seconds.And one of the benefits of the ability is to provide low-income farmer with detailed advice that would previously have been far out of their reach.

As Ben grew up,Jack grew old,unable to do his usual job.Ben decided to take over Jack’s shop.Guided by Jack,Ben mastered the skill of cutting hair and became a popular barber in the neighborhood.He continued the tradition of providing free haircuts for poor children. Soon Ben found that,accustomed to hanging about to kill time and having little access to books,many kids around had weak literacy.When he asked about what they learned,he would receive short and broken responses.Among them was a shy boy named Harry,his father dead and mother often ill in bed. Determined to encourage the children to read for their future,Ben turned to Jack for advice.His idea was supported by Jack,who helped him set up a reading section in the corner of the shop.Ben filled it with all kinds of books he bought. When Harry came for a haircut,Ben said smilingly,“Harry,there are some great storybooks waiting for you.Why not pick one to read?” Harry looked up,his eyes wide with surprise.Ben led him to the bookshelves and helped him choose a book about a young hero who overcame great odds. Harry became a regular in the reading room.He would sit in the corner,completely absorbed in a book,his lips moving slightly as he read silently.Ben noticed Harry was initially hesitant to read aloud due to his poor pronunciation.Whenever Harry mispronounced a word,Ben would assure him,“It’s okay,Harry.Try that again.You’re doing great.” With Ben’s continuous help,Harry’s reading skills gradually improved. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 One day,Jack told Ben of a reading aloud contest in the community.

Fat Bear Week,when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter.Bear 747,also known as ‘Bear Force One’,took the first-place spot with 68,105 votes.It weighed around 1,400 pounds.”可知,粉丝们投票给他们认为体重增加最多的熊,所以Bear 747获胜是因为它体重增加得最多。故选A项。 2.C　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In 2015,it was extended to a week.Last year,nearly 800,000 people got involved,turning it into a global campaign.”以及第四段中的“Second,Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live in.”可知,迈克·菲茨在2015年将胖熊周二延长为一周的活动是为了提高公众对熊的生态重要性的认识。故选C项。 3.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing,dam construction and warming rivers due to climate change.Luckily,Brooks River,which Katmai’s bears like to fish in,has been free from these threats so far.”可知,卡特迈的熊有稳定的食物来源是因为河流得到了很好的保护。故选C项。 4.A　主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据第一段中“On October 5,Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week,when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter.”以及最后一段中的“Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses.Fans and creators say it’s because it shows a conservation success story.”可知,文章主要介绍了阿拉斯加南部的卡特迈国家公园和自然保护区举行的“胖熊周”活动,它以一种竞技方式让人们关注熊及它们所生活的生态系统。故A项“胖熊周:保护是快乐的”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A项。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了古树是森林的粮仓,对环境和生态都非常重要,我们要保护森林巨人。 5.C　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“‘How many of us as children have stared up at a church-like top of a giant tree and climbed it in wonder,which is a rally special part of our lives?’asks Bill Laurance,a tropical ecologist at James Cook University.”,以及第二段中引用David Lindenmayer的话“Climate change will mean that,in some forests,big trees won’t reach the same sizes they used to.”可知,作者是通过引用某人的话导入主题的。故选C项。 6.A　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“The effects of climate change,including long droughts,more invasive species and so on increase the simple physical challenges that big trees face in pulling water from their roots to their leaves and withstanding windstorms.”可知,从第二段我们可以了解到:大树受到各种因素的影响。故选A项。 7.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘They’re really the breadbaskets of the forest,’says Laurance.‘This is a very environmentally and ecologically important group of organisms,and they need special care and handling.’”可知,在最后一段中,Laurance想表达的是:有必要好好照顾大树。故选B项。 8.A　主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“These large,old trees control the surrounding plant communities,affect water and nutrient distribution,and provide food and shelter for wildlife...”可知,文章是要告诉我们保护森林巨人。所以文章的最佳标题是A选项Protect Forest Giants,故选A项。 Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能在保护森林、保护野生动物和帮助农民三方面起着重要作用。 1.F　上文“Disadvantages abound,but there’s also a bright side to AI,because it holds out some practical promise in tackling a number of stubborn challenges.”提到人工智能有缺点,但也有光明的一面,能应对一些棘手的挑战。F选项“AI is here to help in different ways”承接上文,引出下文具体介绍人工智能在不同方面的帮助,起到了承上启下的作用。故选F项。 2.B　上文“Satellite monitoring brings a host of benefits such as wide-area coverage and real-time data collection.”说的是卫星监测有很多好处,如大面积覆盖和实时数据收集,下文“It has high costs and is easily affected by bad weather which can make the data inaccurate.”又提到它成本高且易受恶劣天气影响,导致数据不准确。B选项 “It also has some limitations”能够很好地连接上下文,说明卫星监测虽然有好处但也存在不足。故选B项。 3.G　上文“Drones,equipped with advanced cameras and motion sensors,can fly almost silently through the trees,spotting the slightest sign of illegal logging or other activities.”提到无人机配备先进的摄像头和运动传感器,可以在树林中飞行并发现非法伐木或其他活动的细微迹象。G选项“AI is able to analyze their findings within seconds”中的“their findings”指的就是无人机的发现,且与下文“And it can give immediate responses to potential threats.”相呼应,说明了人工智能对无人机监测结果的分析及作用。故选G项。 4.C　上文“Some of the world’s most precious and endangered species are,by definition,the most elusive,as are many of the hidden threats facing them.”提到世界上一些最珍贵和濒危的物种难以发现,它们面临的许多隐藏威胁也难以察觉。C选项 “AI can help track down both”可知,“both”指代上文的 “the most precious and endangered species”和“the hidden threats”,说明人工智能可以解决这两个问题,符合语境。故选C项。 5.A　根据下文“AI can scan vast amounts of data from diverse sources,compare and analyze them,and present an adapted result to the screen of a basic smartphone in seconds.And one of the benefits of the ability is to provide low-income farmer with detailed advice that would previously have been far out of their reach.”可知,这段主要讲的是人工智能能够扫描分析数据并为低收入农民提供详细建议,A选项“Offer help to farmers”能够概括该段内容,适合作小标题。故选A项。 Ⅵ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了赫斯维克工作室最近的一个温室项目,这个名为玻璃屋的建筑展示了丝绸之路对于英国花园的影响。 1.engineering　考查名词。engineer作动词时意为“设计制造”,再根据后面的techniques可知,此处用名词形式engineering作定语修饰techniques,表示“工程技术”。 2.functional　考查形容词。空后的structure为名词,故此处应用function的形容词形式functional(实用的)作定语。 3.to give　考查非谓语动词。本句中已经出现了谓语动词open,因此应用give的非谓语动词形式。再由句意“这些萼片在温暖的日子打开是为了给里面的植物阳光和新鲜的空气”可知,所填的词作目的状语,所以用动词不定式。 4.closed　考查形容词。由空前的stays作系动词可知,此处用closed与上句中的open相呼应,表示“天冷时,这个建筑保持关闭,为的是保护里面的植物”。 5.walks　考查谓语动词。本句的主语是the Silk Route Garden,宾语是visitors,故此处用谓语动词,句子的主语为第三人称单数,故此处用walks。本句中的walk不是不及物动词“走路,散步”的含义,而是及物动词,意为“陪伴……走”。 6.the　考查冠词。根据后面的first time可知,此处应填the。 7.favourites/favorites　考查名词的数。此题的难度在于,大家只熟悉favourite作形容词时的意思“最喜爱的”,却忽视了favourite作名词时的意思“最喜爱的人或物”。根据后面的“such as rosemary,lavender and fennel”可知,此处应用名词的复数形式。 8.as　考查介词。Glasshouse作为当代设计的一项伟大成就而矗立着,容纳了……。as意为“作为”。此题易误用for或out,这两个词放上句意不通顺。 9.that/which　考查定语从句引导词。本句的先行词为the Silk Route,此处引导词that/which在从句中作主语,表示丝绸之路把这些植物从它们在亚洲的生长地带过来。 10.richness　考查名词。由前面的the可知,此处用rich的名词形式richness。 Ⅶ. Dear Noah,  I’m really glad that you take great interest in ancient Chinese architecture. Thousands of ancient buildings have survived in China’s history.However,there is no better place to visit than the Forbidden City in Beijing.It served as the royal palace for centuries.Summer is a good time for traveling,so shall we go there on August 1?I believe you’ll have a better experience if you know its history.You’d better do some research online,which is of great benefit to you. Please let me know if you need further information. Yours, Li Hua  Ⅷ.One day,Jack told Ben of a reading aloud contest in the community.“It’s an opportunity for the kids to shine,” Jack said.Ben immediately thought of Harry,who had built up his confidence but still shrank from presenting in public.Ben went to find Harry and told him about the contest.Harry lowered his head,his cheeks flushing.“What if I mess up?” Harry murmured.Ben patted him on the shoulder,encouraging him,“Remember how you first started?This is just another step.” Harry nodded,agreeing to give it a shot.For days,Ben set aside time to coach Harry on reading with expression and rhythm.Jack also shared tips on adding emotions to reading.Gradually,Harry’s voice sounded rhythmic and energetic.  When the big day came,Jack and Ben accompanied Harry to the contest hall.At the sight of the large audience,Harry froze.But the moment he met Ben’s and Jack’s warm smiles and thumbs-up gestures,he calmed down and walked onto the stage.His voice was steady at first,and then grew increasingly passionate.When he reached the final lines,the hall erupted into applause.Harry won second prize!Holding the certificate,he flashed a bright smile at Ben and Jack.From then on,more kids came to Ben’s reading corner.Ben and Jack felt content that their small corner was making a big difference in the children’s lives.  知识积累卡 一、1.费用;价钱;代价　花费　昂贵的　2.(使)逐渐形成/演变;进化　进化;演变　3.经受住;承受 二、1.棘手的　顽固的,固执的　2.陪同,护送　走,步行;徒步旅行遛(狗)　行走,步行;散步　3.不连贯的;磕磕绊绊的 坏掉的;打破的 三、1.睡觉　2.不受……影响　3.惊奇地　4.面对　5.提供;展现　6.受到威胁　7.许多;一大群　8.被称为……;堪称 四、1.复合句　非限制性定语从句　定语从句　时间状语从句 10月5日,位于阿拉斯加南部的卡特迈国家公园和保护区启动了“胖熊周”,活动迷们通过比较熊的前后照片来投票选出他们认为在进入漫长寒冷的冬眠之前体重增加最多的熊。 2.目的状语　伴随状语　定语从句　结果状语 玻璃屋是当代设计的杰出成就,它位于一条追溯丝绸之路的路径终点,这条路径将植物从亚洲的原生地带到英国,定义了英国园艺的丰富性。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
