Sartore is working to take photos of all 20,000 different types of animals living in the world’s zoos,aquariums(水族馆) and wildlife shelters.And he has already taken nearly 15,000!He hopes his photos will remind people of the situation these planet’s most endangered creatures are in,and that he can record them before they’re gone.“My job is to tell their stories and hope that the world cares in time,” he told The Weather Channel in 2023. Sartore calls his project the Photo Ark,like the story of Noah’s Ark,in which a large boat is built to save every type of animal in the world from a flood.He founded the Photo Ark in 2016 in his hometown of Lincoln,Nebraska. He doesn’t just take his animal photos in the usual zoo environment,however.He puts each animal on a black or white background with studio lights.This helps him photograph their true colors,and lets people see a little mouse as clearly as a big elephant and look each animal right in the eye.“When people connect to animals through eye contact,we have got a real chance at changing human behavior,” Sartore says. The project has been well received.Sartore has more than 1.6 million followers online and a best-selling series of Photo Ark books.He asks people to buy his books and photos,give money to the Photo Ark,and support zoos,aquariums and wildlife shelters near where they live. 1.What is the purpose of Sartore’s project? A.To help sell his photos. B.To help save animals in danger. C.To meet his own interest in animals. D.To offer another way to learn about animals. 2.What can be known about Sartore’s photos of the animals in paragraph 4? A.They are black and white. B.They are about animals in danger. C.They are taken in a natural condition. D.They are taken in a designed environment. 3.What is people’s attitude towards Sartore’s project? A.Unclear.　　　　　　B.Doubtful. C.Supportive. D.Negative. 4.What would be the best title for the passage? A.The Profile of a Traveling Photographer B.The Art of Studio Photography for Animals C.Saving Endangered Species:One Photo at a Time D.The History of Noah’s Ark and Animal Protection B (2025山东潍坊高一上期中) In the first half of the twentieth century,Karl von Frisch,a scientist who studied animal behavior,changed our impression of honeybees by discovering the “waggle(摇摆) dance”,which may not be considered as a language,but a form of communication. It was one of our first understandings that bees do something like what we call “thinking”. Clint Perry,a scientist at Queen Mary University of London,has spent much time studying how bees think.He gave bees a choice between landing on a place above a black bar (横木) or a place below it.If they landed above the bar,they would find a delicious sugary drink.If they chose the place below the black bar,they found a terrible drink.He made the test harder or easier by moving the landing places farther from or closer to the black bar.But bees also had the choice of avoiding the task if they weren’t sure they would succeed.Perry found that bees avoided the test when it was difficult and gave it a try when it was easy. Perry pointed out that we can’t know for sure from tests like this whether bees are actually judging by their own knowledge or simply quitting the task because of an unhappy connection with the terrible drink. Scientists still do not know how bees manage to do so much with their tiny brains.No one is suggesting that bees are as smart as humans,at least not when it comes to things like memory and language.But learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains deal with information. We may also have to rethink how we view the rest of the insect world.There are a lot of small creatures(生物) flying around in the garden.Who knows what those tiny minds might be able to do? 5.Why does the author mention Karl von Frisch in the first paragraph? A.To introduce a famous scientist. B.To change the impression of bees. C.To show early study of bees’ thinking. D.To stress the importance of the study of bees. 6.How did Clint Perry make the task difficult? A.By setting more choices. B.By giving challenging orders. C.By making landing places farther. D.By reducing the sweet level of the drinks. 7.What is Clint Perry’s attitude to the result of the research? A.Supportive. B.Uncaring. C.Doubtful. D.Uncertain. 8.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Insects’ thinking ability will improve. B.The number of small insects will increase. C.Study on insects’ brains has a long way to go. D.Insects’ life habits will be a focus of research.

planet’s most endangered creatures are in,and that he can record them before they’re gone.”可知,Sartore这个项目的目的是挽救濒危动物,故选B项。 2.D　细节理解题。根据第四段中“He doesn’t just take his animal photos in the usual zoo environment,however.He puts each animal on a black or white background with studio lights.”可知,萨托雷的动物照片是在人造环境中拍摄的,故选D项。 3.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Sartore has more than 1.6 million followers online and a

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Clint Perry对于研究蜜蜂的思考行为的实验,并表明其他的昆虫大脑也值得研究。 5.C　推理判断题。根据文章第一段“20世纪上半叶,研究动物行为的科学家卡尔·冯·弗里施发现了‘摇摆舞’,改变了我们对蜜蜂的印象。‘摇摆舞’可能不是一种语言,而是一种交流形式。这是我们最初的理解之一,蜜蜂会做一些我们称之为‘思考’的事情”可知,此处提及Karl von Frisch发现“摇摆舞”是为了展示蜜蜂是会思考的,故选C项。 6.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中“He made the test harder or easier by moving the landing places farther from or closer to the black bar.”可知, Clint Perry通过将着陆点移得离黑条更远来加大任务难度,故选C项。

I’d known this when I was in Senior 1!’ countless times by the end of the school year,my senior 3 class decided to leave behind some real advice for newcomers in senior high.”提到作者的高三学生要给高中新生留下一些建议,根据下文“Get a planner” “Work hard” “Be present”可知,下文每段是具体建议,由此可知,空处应该承上启下,D项“Here is some of the great advice they shared”符合文意,故选D项。 2.E　上文“If I didn’t have a planner”是If引导的条件状语从句,这是一种与现在相反的假设,由下文“I had a hard copy planner,and writing down my homework and activities helped me to stay organised.I could see everything I needed to do.”可知,“我”实际上有规划,由此可知,空处应该讲如果“我”没有计划会是什么样的,E项“I would have never made it through high school”符合文意,是与现在事实相反的一种假设,故选E项。 3.A　此处是本段小标题,根据本段内容可知,本段主要讲的是要现实一些,A项“Keep it real”能概括本段内容,故选A项。 4.B　上文“When I was in junior high,a friend from senior high school told me I must concentrate on studies and work hard from the minute I entered senior high.”提到“我”的朋友在“我”上初中时给“我”的建议,结合下文“But I was ready because I got that advice,and I worked hard from day one.So listen to me,and you’ll be all set.”可知,“我”听从了朋友的建议,由此可知,空处应该承上启下,B项“I listened to his advice”符合文意,故选B项。 5.F　上文“My advice for newcomers is to be present and live in the moment.Before you know it,high school’s over,and you can’t go back.There are no do-overs.”提到要活在当下,空处应该承接上文,指出这么做的好处,F项“Live during your high school years so you have no regrets”符合文意,故选F项。 Ⅵ. A Week in the Wild Last week,I,together with 30 other students,went to Yunnan and took part in the Wildlife Protection Winter Camp held by WWF. We spent one week in the wild rain forests learning about endangered animals from wildlife professionals.We observed how different species of monkeys adapted themselves to their natural habitats.Plus,various activities to help protect them have been organized,such as picking up plastics,removing nets and traps and putting up posters.We were amazed by the tireless efforts that the locals were making. The camp not only raised our environmental awareness,but also deepened our understanding of wildlife protection.Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we enjoy a better future together. Ⅶ. The father decided to bring Max back.He went to extraordinary lengths to search for the dog in the nearby blocks but in vain.It suddenly crossed his mind that maybe Max would have returned to the park.He breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw Max wandering in the park.The setting sun cast an orange glow over them.Exhausted but joyful,the father brought Max home.At the sight of Max,so amazed was Alex that he rushed forward,knelt down and hugged Max tight,his eyes twinkling with excitement.From then on,Max became an integral part of their family.  The boy took full responsibility for Max.Tiring as feeding,bathing and walking Max were,he gained a great sense of accomplishment from these puppy care chores.The days of Max’s company witnessed Alex’s heartier laughter and gradual academic progress.It dawned on the father that Max helped Alex build confidence and taught him about responsibility and compassion.Had it not been for this experience,Alex would have never known the bond between humans and animals is built on love,trust and mutual respect,enriching both lives.  知识积累卡 一、1.背景　2.独特的　独特性　3.危及,使处于危险中　濒危的　4.给……留下印象　印象　给人印象深刻的　5.欢呼,为……加油　快乐的,愉快的　快乐,愉快 二、1.专注于,集中注意力于　2.眼神接触,目光交流　3.一种交流方式　4.充满恐惧和困惑　5.给某人的生活带来快乐 三、Sartore 将他的项目命名为“照片方舟”,就像诺亚方舟的故事一样,建造一艘大船来拯救世界上每一种动物免受洪水的灾难。 四、佩里指出,从这样的测试中,我们无法确切地知道蜜蜂究竟是根据自己的知识做出判断,还是仅仅因为与这种难喝的饮料有不愉快的联系而放弃任务。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
