Helping the butterflies Organizers of the initiative created educational courses in English and Spanish explaining the butterflies’ annual traveling and their trouble.The signs also outline ways travelers can help the butterflies recover,such as by supporting chemical-free farms and planting native nectar (花蜜) gardens. Why butterflies fly to the California coast Many stops in Pismo State Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove and Andrew Molera State Park,are overwintering sites where,from October to February,travelers can see thousands of butterflies gathering in forests in areas with mild temperatures. Other sites,like the San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden and Avila Valley Barn,grow flowers that provide sugary,high-calorie food for the butterflies to eat.Butterflies settling here demonstrate how vital nectaring plants are to their survival. How to explore the Western Monarch Trail The butterflies’ behavior varies at different times of day and depends on the weather.In the mornings,while temperatures are still cool,step out of the cottage in the Fernwood Resort where you stay overnight,and you’ll find many butterflies hanging together on the branches and trunks of trees at the overwintering sites.As the day starts to heat up — typically by late morning or early afternoon — you’ll be amazed at the phenomenon “sunburst” — the butterflies start flying around in search of nearby nectar.Keep your eyes skyward.Don’t grab your camera.Just be in the moment. 1.What’s the Western Monarch Trail initiative aimed at? A.Providing a travel route. B.Encountering butterflies. C.Promoting organic farming. D.Advocating species conservation. 2.What do we know about Andrew Molera State Park? A.It holds many nectar gardens. B.It’s pleasant throughout winter. C.It has sufficient food for butterflies. D.It’s home to butterflies all year around. 3.What can travelers do along the Western Monarch Trail? A.Take photos of nature as required. B.Enjoy comfortable weather all year round. C.Witness butterflies’ different activities. D.Have accommodation with breakfast. B One night,as I was driving down the road,I found something was sitting in the middle of the road.A few seconds later,I realized I was looking at a large turtle (海龟).Afraid of it being crashed by cars,I pulled over,ran across the road and dragged the turtle to safety.But I’d made one big mistake.I hurt the turtle. I had heard that the best way to pick up a turtle without hurting it was picking it by the tail in order not to get bitten.So I’d made that big mistake.While the turtle turned out to be OK,I was determined to figure out how to move a turtle properly.I needed to find someone who dealt with turtles.I found the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre.I talked to Dr.Sue,its Executive and Medical Director. Dr.Sue told me that the organization deals with a number of aspects of turtle conservation,including rescue,settlement,birth programs,research,and education.Sue explained that southern Ontario is home to a vast majority of turtles in Canada,and also has one of the largest road networks in the country. “Ninety percent of injured turtles brought in are caused by cars.These turtles spend a lot of time on land.And they do travel many kilometers on land for a variety of reasons,to find a nesting spot,or to hang out for the summer or winter.Turtles know where they want to go.So,just keep them going in the direction they want to go and you may have saved a turtle’s life,” Dr.Sue said. Once an injured turtle arrives at the center,there are medical facilities (设备) ready to go,including an X-ray machine.That’s when the team gets to work with healing injuries,and helps their patient. 4.Why did the author stop the car? A.To help the turtle. B.To see the thing clearly. C.To prevent a car accident. D.To find something good. 5.What happened to the turtle? A.It got hurt by people previously. B.It was injured a little bit. C.It was run over by a car. D.It lost its direction. 6.What did Dr.Sue suggest at last? A.Leaving the turtles alone. B.Making Ontario home to turtles. C.Changing the road conditions. D.Helping turtles find nesting spots. 7.What does the underlined word “patient” refer to in the last paragraph? A.The director. B.The driver. C.The author. D.The turtle. C (2025江苏扬州高一上期中) Increasing the numbers of a small parasitic wasp (寄生蜂) could help control the brown marmorated stink bug (茶翅蝽),a harmful pest endangering crops including apples,cherries and corn.The wasp,which is from Europe,lays its eggs inside those of the pest,where its young develop by feeding on the host egg. Alessia Lacovone at Bioplanet,an Italian biocontrol company,and her co-workers released (释放) 325,000 of the wasps over the summer of 2020.This took place at the places where fruit trees are grown and the pest was known to be present. The team then collected stink bug eggs to find out how many had been discovered by the wasps and how effectively they had been attacked.At release sites,a wasp discovered 31 percent of the stink bug egg masses and adult wasps came out from 17 percent of the discovered eggs,while at comparative sites where no release took place,these rates were 1.7 and 1.2 percent,respectively. In addition to these increases,the researchers found that the release of a wasp had no effect on parasitism (寄生) by naturally occurring wasps of the same species,as well as by Trissolcus mitsukurii,another harmful wasp species that also targets the bug’s eggs.Lacovone says the true effect of the wasp release is likely to be even greater than simply looking at successful parasitism suggests,since the adult wasps also feed on the stink bug eggs. “A wasp is a common egg parasitoid (卵寄生蜂) in parts of Europe and this report is encouraging,showing that increasing releases of this species improve parasitism of brown marmorated stink bug egg masses,” says Glen Powell at the Royal Horticultural Society. 8.What can be learned about the brown marmorated stink bug from paragraph 1? A.It lays its eggs inside the wasp. B.Its feeding list includes fruits. C.It develops by eating host eggs. D.It comes from Europe originally. 9.Why did the team collect stink bug eggs? A.To judge stink bugs’ living ability. B.To know the result of wasp attacks. C.To explain why the eggs occur in masses. D.To find where stink bugs lay their eggs. 10.What’s Powell’s attitude to the findings? A.Worried. B.Objective. C.Supportive. D.Uncaring. 11.What’s the best title of the passage? A.Wasp Release Controls Stink Bug Attack B.Parasitic Wasps Increase Harmful Pests C.Parasitic Wasp Strategy Benefits Stink Bugs D.Egg-Laying Wasps help Crop Pests Out Ⅵ.七选五 (2025黑龙江哈尔滨高一上质检) A growing number of studies show that warming temperatures are increasing death in creatures ranging from birds in the Mojave Desert to bumblebees in North America.Researchers warn that heat stress could become a major factor in future extinction (灭绝) of wildlife.　1　  It is important to have plenty of water for wildlife to drink and bathe in.　2　 But even heat-loving creatures can only survive (幸存) if they can find enough water.A shallow dish of water will benefit a wide variety of wildlife.If you want to do more,you can create a tiny pond.It’s possible to make a simple one out of an old washing-up bowl.  　3　 A pile of wood in a shady corner will offer places for insects to hide.Heatwaves are not the time to tidy your garden either— leave any plants uncut.They’ll provide shelter and food if they’ve gone to seed.  Food is important.You can grow plants that can continually provide quality food sources.Artificial (人工的) feeding with feeders can also be a good choice.　4　 Keep food dry and clean any feeders that animals come in direct contact with to reduce disease.  Reducing the heat can be another effective way.Compared to plants,concrete (混凝土) surfaces take in more heat in the day — about more than 20℃ hotter than grass.　5　 Besides,in the shade of trees,surface temperatures can be reduced by around 10℃,so planting a tree in your garden will cool both you and wildlife down.  A.Hot weather can be great for some creatures. B.So why not replace those surfaces with plants? C.Be sure what you are offering is high-quality and easy to eat. D.Fortunately,you can give a helping hand with a few easy steps. E.You can also help animals by offering them somewhere cool to rest. F.How can you make your local area become more friendly to animals? G.Follow these simple tips to make sure you’re keeping animals properly. 知识积累卡 一、重点单词 1.initiative n. 　　　　　　　　  2.demonstrate v.　　　　　　　　  3.phenomenon n.　　　　　  4.compare v.　　　　　　　　→comparison n.　　　　　　 →comparative adj.　　　　　　　  5.research n. 　　　　　　　　→researcher n. 　　　　　　  二、词块速记 1.educational course　　　　　  2.in search of　　　　　  3.in addition to　　　　　　　　　  4.compared to　　　　　　　　  5.surface temperature　　　　　  三、经典句式背诵 It is important to have plenty of water for wildlife to drink and bathe in.(It is+adj.+to do) 句意:  四、长难句分析 In the mornings,while temperatures are still cool,step out of the cottage in the Fernwood Resort where you stay overnight,and you’ll find many butterflies hanging together on the branches and trunks of trees at the overwintering sites. 分析:本句是一个主从复合句。step out of the cottage...和you’ll find...是并列主句,while引导的是时间状语从句,where引导的是限制性定语从句。 句意: ______________________________________________________ 参考答案 Ⅰ.1.profits　2.observe　3.recovering　4.Effective　5.reserves Ⅱ.1.threatens　2.under　3.out　4.beauty　5.harmonious　6.over　7.of　8.existence Ⅲ.1.that is why　2.are often reminded of not staying up 3.looking out and feeling sad　4.are dying for a longer winter holiday　 5.can you join the army Ⅳ.Activity 1 1.to watching over 2.their habitat is under threat 3.In order to protect them from extinction 4.remind people of their beauty 5.live in harmony with nature Activity 2 Zhaxi,who is a ranger,is devoted to watching over the Tibetan antelope species on earth.Every day,he patrols the reserve,aware that their habitat is under threat from development.In order to protect them from extinction,he and his team work tirelessly,observing their behavior to remind people of their beauty and the need for conservation.He realizes only when humans learn to live in harmony with nature can these endangered species recover and be removed from the threat of dying out.
