Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·福建莆田一中·期中)
Alexandra Campbell gets inspiration from an Australian cottage garden. Cottage-garden style, which dates back to Victorian Britain, was originally about gardeners growing a mix of food and flowers on their own land using plants native to their area.
Recently, Alexandra saw a modern cottage garden. Designer Tim Nolan created it around a cottage in southern Australia. He adopted a color plan that includes blue and grey with yellow and cream-yellow elements. There are plants like soft blue and grey nepeta (猫薄荷), which contrast with yellow and cream-yellow kniphofia (火炬花).
According to gardening expert Stephen Ryan, when choosing plants for a shady border in the garden, one needs to consider the type of shade. Full shade means less than three hours of direct sun a day, partial shade is three to six hours, and there is also morning and afternoon shade.
Stephen also mentioned the “70/30 rule” for gardening. Use 70 percent “safe” plants, which are familiar and easy-to-grow ones, and then experiment with the other 30 percent. If one focuses on the “safe” plants in a cottage-style garden, like the nepeta, lamb’s ears, and some salvias (鼠尾草) in Tim’s cottage, they can grow well in the UK. This principle can work for any type of gardening.
In cottage-garden style, there are no strict rules. You can plant wherever you like, color-theme your garden or not, and still create a beautiful and charming garden.
1. Where did Alexandra Campbell get inspiration?
A. From a Victorian-style British garden.
B. From a modern cottage garden in southern Australia.
C. From a traditional Australian farm garden.
D. From a famous gardening expert.
2. What is the “70/30 rule” in gardening?
A. Use 70 percent of native plants and 30 percent of non-native plants.
B. Spend 70 percent of the time on easy-to-grow plants and 30 percent on difficult ones.
C. Plant 70 percent of “safe” plants and experiment with 30 percent of other plants.
D. Give 70 percent of the garden space to flowers and 30 percent to food plants.
3. According to Stephen Ryan, which of the following is related to the type of shade in a garden?
A. The color of the plants.
B. The height of the plants.
C. The amount of direct sunlight.
D. The time of watering the plants.
4. What can we know about cottage-garden style?
A. It has strict rules on plant-choosing and layout.
B. It only works in the UK.
C. It is no longer popular today.
D. It allows for flexibility in planting and design.

Meet Incredible Conservation Heroes Saving Wildlife from Extinction
Anne Savage
Dr. Savage founded a conservation program to protect cotton-top tamarins (棉顶狨猴). She pioneered in the development of new technologies to study the animal in the Colombian forest. She also helped conduct a study that found only 7,500 individuals remained. As a result, the International Union for Conservation of Nature changed the classification of cotton-top tamarins from Endangered to Critically Endangered, which brought the species to more people’s notice.
Elena Bykova
Having majored in biology, Bykova has a good knowledge of the saiga antelope (赛加羚羊). As Executive Secretary of the Saiga Conservation Alliance, an international organization, Bykova works to save the antelope. Illegal shooting is the single biggest threat, and Bykova concentrates on raising public awareness of the danger, finding alternative livelihood opportunities for local communities, and protecting saiga habitats.
Jeanne Tarrant
Frogs are astonishingly diverse and beautiful for Dr. Tarrant. Over the years, she has helped put the spotlight on many highly threatened species of frogs that face extinction due to habitat loss, climate change, and hunts by their animal enemies. No wonder she is called the “Frog Lady” of South Africa!
Marilyn Connell
Living only in the Mary River of Queensland, the Mary River turtle (龟) takes in oxygen in two ways. Being hunted by other wildlife is the Mary River turtle’s biggest threat. Connell and her team investigate the threats to the species and take measures to protect the eggs and newborns from being hunted, ensuring the species has a chance to survive.
1. What made cotton-top tamarins get more attention?
A. Dr. Savage’s conservation program. B. The adjustment to their risk category.
C. Research into cotton-top tamarins. D. The development of new technologies.
2. What does Elena Bykova do to protect the saiga antelope?
A. She founds an international organization.
B. She chooses biology as her main subject of study.
C. She provides ways for locals to make a living.
D. She fights against the behavior of illegal shooting.

Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·福建莆田一中·期中)
Alexandra Campbell gets inspiration from an Australian cottage garden. Cottage-garden style, which dates back to Victorian Britain, was originally about gardeners growing a mix of food and flowers on their own land using plants native to their area.
Recently, Alexandra saw a modern cottage garden. Designer Tim Nolan created it around a cottage in southern Australia. He adopted a color plan that includes blue and grey with yellow and cream-yellow elements. There are plants like soft blue and grey nepeta (猫薄荷), which contrast with yellow and cream-yellow kniphofia (火炬花).
According to gardening expert Stephen Ryan, when choosing plants for a shady border in the garden, one needs to consider the type of shade. Full shade means less than three hours of direct sun a day, partial shade is three to six hours, and there is also morning and afternoon shade.
Stephen also mentioned the “70/30 rule” for gardening. Use 70 percent “safe” plants, which are familiar and easy-to-grow ones, and then experiment with the other 30 percent. If one focuses on the “safe” plants in a cottage-style garden, like the nepeta, lamb’s ears, and some salvias (鼠尾草) in Tim’s cottage, they can grow well in the UK. This principle can work for any type of gardening.
In cottage-garden style, there are no strict rules. You can plant wherever you like, color-theme your garden or not, and still create a beautiful and charming garden.
1. Where did Alexandra Campbell get inspiration?
A. From a Victorian-style British garden.
B. From a modern cottage garden in southern Australia.
C. From a traditional Australian farm garden.
D. From a famous gardening expert.
2. What is the “70/30 rule” in gardening?
A. Use 70 percent of native plants and 30 percent of non-native plants.
B. Spend 70 percent of the time on easy-to-grow plants and 30 percent on difficult ones.
C. Plant 70 percent of “safe” plants and experiment with 30 percent of other plants.
D. Give 70 percent of the garden space to flowers and 30 percent to food plants.
3. According to Stephen Ryan, which of the following is related to the type of shade in a garden?
A. The color of the plants.
B. The height of the plants.
C. The amount of direct sunlight.
D. The time of watering the plants.
4. What can we know about cottage-garden style?
A. It has strict rules on plant-choosing and layout.
B. It only works in the UK.
C. It is no longer popular today.
D. It allows for flexibility in planting and design.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 4. D
【解析】

Designer Tim Nolan created it around a cottage in southern Australia.(最近,Alexandra见到了一座现代乡村花园。由设计师Tim Nolan在澳大利亚南部一座小屋周围打造)”可知,Alexandra Campbell的灵感来自澳大利亚南部的现代农舍花园。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Use 70 percent “safe” plants, which are familiar and easy-to-grow ones, and then experiment with the other 30 percent. (使用70%的“安全”植物,即常见且易于种植的植物,然后用另外30%进行试验)”可知,“70/30规则”指70%种“安全”植物,30%尝试其他植物。故选C。

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In cottage-garden style, there are no strict rules. You can plant wherever you like, color-theme your garden or not, and still create a beautiful and charming garden.(乡村花园风格没有严格规则:你可以随性种植,选择或不选择主题配色,仍能打造出美丽迷人的花园)”可知,乡村花园风格允许种植和设计上的灵活性。故选D。
Passage 3
(24-25学年高一下·福建莆田八中·期中)
Meet Incredible Conservation Heroes Saving Wildlife from Extinction
Anne Savage
Dr. Savage founded a conservation program to protect cotton-top tamarins (棉顶狨猴). She pioneered in the development of new technologies to study the animal in the Colombian forest. She also helped conduct a study that found only 7,500 individuals remained. As a result, the International Union for Conservation of Nature changed the classification of cotton-top tamarins from Endangered to Critically Endangered, which brought the species to more people’s notice.
Elena Bykova
Having majored in biology, Bykova has a good knowledge of the saiga antelope (赛加羚羊). As Executive Secretary of the Saiga Conservation Alliance, an international organization, Bykova works to save the antelope. Illegal shooting is the single biggest threat, and Bykova concentrates on raising public awareness of the danger, finding alternative livelihood opportunities for local communities, and protecting saiga habitats.
Jeanne Tarrant
Frogs are astonishingly diverse and beautiful for Dr. Tarrant. Over the years, she has helped put the spotlight on many highly threatened species of frogs that face extinction due to habitat loss, climate change, and hunts by their animal enemies. No wonder she is called the “Frog Lady” of South Africa!
Marilyn Connell
Living only in the Mary River of Queensland, the Mary River turtle (龟) takes in oxygen in two ways. Being hunted by other wildlife is the Mary River turtle’s biggest threat. Connell and her team investigate the threats to the species and take measures to protect the eggs and newborns from being hunted, ensuring the species has a chance to survive.

2.细节理解题。根据对Elena Bykova的介绍中的“As Executive Secretary of the Saiga Conservation Alliance, an international organization, Bykova works to save the antelope. Illegal shooting is the single biggest threat, and Bykova concentrates on raising public awareness of the danger, finding alternative livelihood opportunities for local communities, and protecting saiga habitats.(作为国际组织赛加羚羊保护联盟的执行秘书,贝科娃致力于拯救羚羊。非法狩猎是最大的威胁,贝科娃专注于提高公众对危险的认识,为当地社区寻找替代性生计机会,并保护赛加羚羊的栖息地。)”可知,Bykova为当地居民寻找其他谋生机会,以防止他们非法狩猎赛加羚羊。故选C。
3. 细节理解题。根据对Jeanne Tarrant的介绍中的“Frogs are astonishingly diverse and beautiful for Dr. Tarrant.

(在塔伦特博士看来,青蛙的多样性和美丽程度令人惊讶。多年来,她帮助人们关注了许多高度濒危的青蛙物种,由于栖息地丧失、气候变化和它们的动物敌人的捕猎,这些青蛙面临灭绝。)”可知,动物天敌的猎食对一些濒危蛙类造成了巨大威胁;根据对Marilyn Connell的介绍中的“Being hunted by other wildlife is the Mary River turtle’s biggest threat. (被其他野生动物猎杀是玛丽河龟最大的威胁。)”可知,其他野生动物的捕猎是玛丽河龟面临的最大威胁。因此可知,蛙类和玛丽河龟受到其它物种的影响。故选B。
