There used to be huge flocks of them, but now they’re in danger of dying out. But scientists may have found a way to help the birds survive – by getting older birds to teach younger birds how to sing.摄政蜂鸟是一种体色美丽的黑黄相间鸟类，分布于澳大利亚东南部。过去它们曾形成庞大的鸟群，但如今正面临灭绝的危险。不过科学家可能找到了帮助这些鸟类生存的方法——让年长的蜂鸟向年轻个体传授歌唱技巧。 【原文·时文阅读】 文章来源：https://newsforkids.net/articles/2026/04/02/saving-a-song-wild-birds-teach-young-birds-to-sing/ The honeyeaters are endangered because large areas of the forests where they live have been cut down. Scientists think there are only about 250 regent honeyeaters left in the wild. As their numbers have dropped, the birds have become more spread out. This has caused an unusual problem: young honeyeaters in the wild haven’t been learning the song that male honeyeaters have always sung. That’s a problem, since male regent honeyeaters use this song to attract mates and defend their territory. Some young honeyeaters sing simpler versions of the old song. Others are even copying the songs of different kinds of birds. Because there are so few of the birds left in the wild, some zoos in Australia have been raising regent honeyeaters in captivity. The goal is to release these birds into the wild. But without hearing any adult male honeyeaters sing, young birds in captivity can only develop a very basic song that scientists describe as “strange”. When they’re released into the wild, these birds may struggle to attract mates with their singing. Daniel Appleby and other scientists at the Australian National University began to work on a plan to help the birds learn the right song. They knew that young birds normally learn the song by listening to older males. So they decided to try to give the young birds a singing tutor (teacher). The scientists first tried playing recordings of the song all day long for the young birds. That had no effect on the songs that the young birds made. The zoos* had two older birds who had been born in the wild and knew the song. The scientists decided to try to use these birds as teachers. They put each of these birds, as a tutor, into an area with several younger birds. That worked well. After about three months, the younger birds began to sing the correct song. The scientists found that when there were five or fewer young birds for each tutor, the young birds learned the song very well. So well, in fact, that it was hard to tell their songs apart. As the program continued, some of the successful younger birds became tutors themselves, teaching the song to other birds. Now, over half of the male honeyeaters raised in zoos can sing the correct song. The researchers are releasing some of these young birds into the wild. They are watching carefully to see how the young birds do. 【原创·阅读理解】 1.What problem do the young honeyeaters face as their numbers have decreased? A.Large areas of the forests have been cut down. B.Young honeyeaters in the wild haven’t been learning the correct song. C.Male regent honeyeaters use this song to attract mates. D. Some honeyeaters are copying the songs of different kinds of birds. B考查细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的This has caused an unusual problem: young honeyeaters in the wild haven’t been learning the song that male honeyeaters have always sung.（这引发了一个异常问题：野生幼年蜜鸟未能学会雄性蜜鸟一贯使用的鸣唱曲调。），由此可知，这是野生幼年蜜鸟所面临的问题。注意：A选项太宽，是所有蜜鸟面临的问题，是导致蜜鸟减少的原因。本题易错。故选B。 2.What does the underlined word “captivity” in the passage? A.cage B.capture C.restriction D.activity C考查猜测词义题。根据文章中的 some zoos in Australia have been raising regent honeyeaters澳大利亚的一些动物园一直在饲养摄政蜂鸟。可知，它们是在限制的范围内被饲养。故选C。 3.How do the scientists teach the young birds sing the correct songs? A.To give the young birds a singing tutor. B.To have the young birds to listen to older males. C.To play recordings of the song for the young birds. D.To raise the young birds in zoos to learn the song. A考查细节理解。根据文章中的They knew that young birds normally learn the song by listening to older males. So they decided to try to give the young birds a singing tutor (teacher).他们知道，幼鸟通常是通过聆听年长的雄鸟来学习鸣唱的。因此，他们决定为这些幼鸟安排一位唱歌导师（教师）。可知A正确。 4.What is the main idea of the passage? A.The Honeyeaters Are in Danger. B.Wild Birds Teach Young Birds to Sing. C.Release Young Honeyeaters into the Wild. D.Honeyeaters Don’t Sing the Correct Song. B考查主旨大意题。根据文章的整体内容可知，文章主要讲述了：科学家们如何拯救幼鸟，他们采用导师的方法，教幼鸟学正确的鸣声。故选B。 【课标词汇积累】 1.endanger v. 使遭危险；危及 The rapid expansion of urban infrastructure continues to endanger the survival of rare species by fragmenting their natural habitats and cutting off essential migration routes. 城市基础设施的快速扩张通过分割自然栖息地和切断必要的迁徙路线，持续危及稀有物种的生存。 2.territory n. 领土；地盘；范围 As climate change alters vegetation patterns, many herbivores are forced to expand their traditional territory in search of food, often leading to conflicts with local farmers. 随着气候变化改变植被模式，许多食草动物被迫扩大其传统领地以寻找食物，这常常导致与当地农民的冲突。 3.release v. 释放；松开；发泄；解雇；（使）放松；公布n. 释放；发行；排放；解脱 Before the release of the rehabilitated sea turtles into the ocean, veterinarians carefully attach satellite tags to monitor their migration patterns and survival rates. 在将康复的海龟放归海洋之前，兽医们会仔细安装卫星标签，以监测它们的迁徙模式和存活率。 4.struggle v. 奋斗；艰难行进；斗争；辩论n. 搏斗；难事 Despite the harsh winter conditions, the rescue team continued to struggle against the elements to deliver food supplies to the isolated elephant herd. 尽管冬季条件恶劣，救援队仍继续与恶劣天气作斗争，向被孤立的大象群运送食物补给。 5.normally adv. 通常；正常地 While these nocturnal animals normally avoid human contact, habitat loss has increasingly driven them into residential areas in search of shelter and scraps. 虽然这些夜行性动物通常避免与人类接触，但栖息地的丧失日益迫使它们进入居民区寻找庇护所和残羹剩饭。 6.successful adj. 成功的 Collaborative efforts between international NGOs and local governments have been successful in reducing the ivory trade by implementing stricter border controls and public awareness campaigns. 国际非政府组织与当地政府之间的合作努力，通过实施更严格的边境控制和公众意识宣传活动，在减少象牙贸易方面取得了成功。 7.continue v. 持续；继续，再开始；移动；延伸；留任；维持现状；接着说 Unless we take immediate action to curb pollution, marine life will continue to suffer from ingesting microplastics, which accumulate in their digestive systems over time. 除非我们立即采取行动遏制污染，否则海洋生物将继续遭受摄入微塑料的痛苦，这些微塑料会随着时间推移在其消化系统中积聚。 8.program n. 程序；节目，节目单；计划，安排v.

There were two little black animals in the snow, shaking under a bush. Upon closer inspection, Laura realized that the birds were a pair of ducks. The animal lover immediately knew something was wrong — the birds didn’t look like wild ducks, and they seemed to be suffering in the freezing temperatures. Immediately, Laura contacted Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary (庇护所), who sent rescues to the scene. “Literally within 15 minutes, they were out the door and at the park, and they had the shaking ducks comfortable in a warm carrier,” Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary wrote in a post. Rescuers identified the birds as black Swedish ducks — medium-sized domestic ducks known for their black-and-white coloring. Their hearts broke for the birds, who had likely been abandoned. “There are no ducks that I know of that are that size and that color who are wild,” a representative from the rescue said. Unlike wild ducks, domestic ducks cannot fly, making it very difficult for them to survive without human care. These two probably wouldn’t have made it if Laura hadn’t stepped in. Both birds were “disorderly,” and one of them suffered from discharge around her eyes. Sanctuary team members quickly cleaned them up and settled them in a warm place. They spent weeks monitoring their food intake and health, making sure the birds were on the road to recovery. Today, these birds are feeling much better, enjoying life in their forever home. “They’re both doing very well,” Laura said in an interview. “They’re living happily with all their other duck friends at the sanctuary!” 1．Which word best describes Laura in paragraph 1? A．Observant. B．Optimistic. C．Cooperative. D．Confident. 2．What indicated the ducks were domestic rather than wild? A．Their relatively small size. B．Their distinct appearance. C．Their shaking in the cold. D．Their presence in the park. 3．What does the word “disorderly” in paragraph 3 describe about the ducks? A．Their physical state. B．Their eating habits. C．Their living environment. D．Their social behavior. 4．What made the rescue a success? A．The ducks’ domestic nature. B．The favorable weather conditions. C．Advanced rescue equipment. D．Individual awareness and expert action. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．D 【解析】文章主要讲述了Laura在公园发现并救助两只被遗弃的家养黑瑞典鸭的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Recently, on a snow-covered walk through Milham Park in Portage Lake, Michigan, a woman named Laura noticed something strange up ahead. There were two little black animals in the snow, shaking under a bush.(最近，在密歇根州波蒂奇湖米尔汉姆公园被积雪覆盖的小径上散步时，一位名叫Laura的女士注意到前方有些异样。雪地里有两只黑色的小动物，正在灌木丛下瑟瑟发抖)”可知，Laura注意到了雪地里的异常情况，说明她是一个善于观察的人。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Rescuers identified the birds as black Swedish ducks — medium-sized domestic ducks known for their black-and-white coloring.(救援人员认出这些鸟是黑瑞典鸭，这是一种中等大小的家鸭，以其黑白相间的颜色而闻名)”以及““There are no ducks that I know of that are that size and that color who are wild,” a representative from the rescue said.(“据我所知，没有野鸭是那种大小和颜色的，”救援组织的一名代表说)”可知，这些鸭子独特的外观表明它们是家养的而不是野生的。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段“Both birds were “disorderly,” and one of them suffered from discharge around her eyes. Sanctuary team members quickly cleaned them up and settled them in a warm place.(两只鸟都disorderly，其中一只眼睛周围有分泌物。庇护所的工作人员迅速清理了它们，并把它们安置在一个温暖的地方)”可知，“disorderly”描述的是这两只鸭子的身体状态，需要清理和照顾。 4．推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，Laura首先发现了这两只被遗弃的鸭子，并及时联系了救援组织；而救援组织也迅速行动，将鸭子带到了温暖的地方进行照顾。因此，这次救援的成功得益于Laura的个人意识（发现并报告问题）和救援组织的专家行动（及时救援并照顾鸭子）。 Passage2阅读理解 （2026届南京市、盐城市高三年级第一次模拟）Improving fitness was Dion Leonard’s inspiration for starting marathon recreationally together with his wife Lucja, and then as race competitors. After finishing sixth in a South African race, he traveled to China to compete in a 155-mile race across the Gobi Desert. On the first day, he noticed a small stray (流浪的) dog wandering around the campsite, where amused competitors fed her with their own limited supplies. On day two, Dion and the dog took some time to warm up to each other,and she even tried to chew his running equipment. Dion soon named her Gobi. Besides having completed a race requiring remarkable physical strength together, they also overcame emotionally trying circumstances when tasked with saving a severely worn-out competitor,ultimately costing them first place in the race. Through thick and thin, Dion and Gobi survived together and had no intentions of parting ways at the finish line. Determined to adopt Gobi and take her back to his home in Scotland, Dion launched a crowdfunding campaign that proved wildly successful. He later donated all extra funds to stray dog rescue organizations. However, disaster struck: Gobi went missing in Urumqi while awaiting an official approval to leave China. Despite the language barrier and the city’s 3 million population, Dion immediately flew back to search for her. By then, their heartwarming story had gained international media coverage, inspiring hundreds of Chinese volunteers to join in his search. Thankfully, Gobi was found. The reunion did more than bring them back together; it helped people of different cultures grow closer together as well. The pair now live happily in Tucson. Dion has written and published books documenting his and Gobi’s story — the children’s book tells a visual story through Gobi’s eyes while the adult book (a New York Times bestseller called Finding Gobi) addresses themes such as Dion’s upbringing that drove him not to leave Gobi behind. The different angles educate about everything from the value of exercise to animal welfare to overcoming obstacles. 5．What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A．Dion quickly formed a bond with Gobi. B．The organizers provided limited supplies. C．Gobi amused runners by chewing equipment. D．Dogs were encouraged to accompany runners. 6．Why did Dion launch a crowdfunding campaign? A．To finance his search for Gobi. B．To help rescue other stray dogs. C．To cover the cost of bringing Gobi back home. D．To obtain an approval for Gobi to leave China. 7．Which of the following best describes Dion’s books? A．Critical and cross-cultural. B．Motivational and time-honored. C．Innovative and fantasy-rooted. D．Heartfelt and multi-dimensional. 8．What is the main idea of the text? A．Animal protection is always on the way. B．A friendship can go beyond boundaries. C．Traveling a thousand miles makes a man. D．Differences can be bridged with joint efforts. 【答案】5．A 6．C 7．D 8．B 【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了马拉松选手迪翁·伦纳德在中国戈壁沙漠比赛中偶遇并收养流浪狗戈壁的感人故事，以及他们之间超越物种和文化的深厚友谊。 5．推理判断题。根据第一段中“On day two, Dion and the dog took some time to warm up to each other,and she even tried to chew his running equipment. Dion soon named her Gobi.(第二天，迪翁和这只狗花了一些时间来熟悉彼此，她甚至试图咀嚼他的跑步装备。迪翁很快给她取名为戈壁)”可知，迪翁很快就和戈壁建立了感情联系。故选A。 6．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Determined to adopt Gobi and take her back to his home in Scotland, Dion launched a crowdfunding campaign that proved wildly successful.(迪翁决心收养戈壁，并把她带回他在苏格兰的家，他发起了一场众筹活动，取得了巨大的成功)”可知，迪翁发起众筹活动是为了支付带戈壁回家的费用。故选C。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Dion has written and published books documenting his and Gobi’s story — the children’s book tells a visual story through Gobi’s eyes while the adult book (a New York Times bestseller called Finding Gobi) addresses themes such as Dion’s upbringing that drove him not to leave Gobi behind. The different angles educate about everything from the value of exercise to animal welfare to overcoming obstacles.(迪翁撰写并出版了记录他和戈壁的故事的书籍——儿童读物通过戈壁的眼睛讲述了一个视觉故事，而成人读物（纽约时报畅销书《寻找戈壁》）则涉及了迪翁的成长经历等主题，这些主题驱使他不会抛弃戈壁。不同的角度涵盖了从锻炼的价值到动物福利再到克服障碍等方方面面)”可推知，迪翁的书是发自内心且多维度的。故选D。 8．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段中“The different angles educate about everything from the value of exercise to animal welfare to overcoming obstacles.(不同的角度涵盖了从锻炼的价值到动物福利再到克服障碍等方方面面)”可知，文章讲述了迪翁和戈壁在极端环境中结下的友谊，迪翁不惜一切代价寻找走失的戈壁，以及他们的故事如何感动了不同文化背景的人们。他们的友谊跨越了物种和国界，因此B选项“A friendship can go beyond boundaries.(友谊可以超越界限)”最符合文章主旨。故选B。 Passage 3 阅读七选五 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。（2026·河北石家庄市第二中学等校一模） Mike, a devoted birdwatcher, begins the morning not with an alarm, but with the first chorus of dawn. His retreat is the quiet edge of the wetland, and his tool is an old telescope. 1 A study confirms that birdwatching can boost happiness, reduce stress, and deepen one’s bond with nature more effectively than a simple walk in the park. This experience reflects the deeply rooted human connection to the natural world. Mike doesn’t just observe nature; he feels part of it. 2 Researchers suggest that biodiversity itself functions as a kind of medicine, easing tension and inviting calm through its subtle complexity. 3 When Mike is tracking a bird’s slow hunt or identifying a bird by its melody, he enters a state known as “flow”. Time slips away, replaced by focused curiosity and quiet engagement. This absorption emerges naturally, leaving him afterward with a gentle wave of satisfaction — a mental clarity that stays long after he lowers his telescope. What makes birdwatching uniquely effective, in Mike’s view, is its mix of passive immersion and active attention. Unlike a casual walk, it requires observation, identification, and subtle reasoning. 4 For Mike, each morning spent among the reeds (芦苇) is more than a pastime. 5 Here, he finds a conversation with the wild, and a proven support for mental well-being. With each new sighting, he doesn’t just add to his life list — he returns to his daily life a little lighter, a little clearer, reminded that sometimes, the best therapy comes on wings. A．It is a practice in mindfulness. B．This is just a pastime bringing him in the wild. C．The diversity of life in these habitats refreshes his mind. D．Birdwatching often causes Mike to be tense but fulfilled. E．Beyond this sense of connection lies a deeper psychological reward. F．Recently, science has begun to explain what Mike has felt for years. G．These actions keep him in the present, turning a hobby into deep focus. 【答案】1．F 2．C 3．E 4．G 5．A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了观鸟这项爱好对人的心理益处。 1．上文“Mike, a devoted birdwatcher, begins the morning not with an alarm, but with the first chorus of dawn. His retreat is the quiet edge of the wetland, and his tool is an old telescope.(迈克是一位忠实的观鸟者，他的早晨不是被闹钟叫醒，而是被黎明的第一声鸟鸣合唱唤醒。他的休憩之地是湿地安静的边缘，他的工具是一架旧望远镜。)”描述了迈克观鸟的日常。下文“A study confirms that birdwatching can boost happiness, reduce stress, and deepen one’s bond with nature more effectively than a simple walk in the park.(一项研究证实，观鸟比单纯在公园散步更能提升幸福感、减轻压力，并加深人与大自然的联系。)”用科学研究佐证观鸟的益处。选项F“最近，科学开始解释迈克多年来的感受。”承上启下，衔接迈克的个人体验与下文的科学研究。故选F。 2．上文“Mike doesn’t just observe nature; he feels part of it.(迈克不只是观察自然，他感觉自己是自然的一部分。)”体现迈克与自然的联结。下文“Researchers suggest that biodiversity itself functions as a kind of medicine, easing tension and inviting calm through its subtle complexity.(研究人员认为，生物多样性本身就像一种药物，通过其微妙的复杂性缓解紧张，带来平静。)”强调生物多样性的作用。选项C“这些栖息地中生命的多样性让他精神焕发。”承接上文的自然联结，引出下文生物多样性的益处。故选C。 3．下文“When Mike is tracking a bird’s slow hunt or identifying a bird by its melody, he enters a state known as ‘flow’. Time slips away, replaced by focused curiosity and quiet engagement. This absorption emerges naturally, leaving him afterward with a gentle wave of satisfaction — a mental clarity that stays long after he lowers his telescope.(当迈克追踪一只鸟缓慢的捕猎过程，或通过旋律识别鸟类时，他会进入一种被称为‘心流’的状态。时间悄然流逝，取而代之的是专注的好奇心和安静的投入。这种专注自然而然地产生，之后会给他带来一阵淡淡的满足感——一种在他放下望远镜后仍能长久保持的清晰思维。)”描述了观鸟带来的心理层面的收获。选项E“除了这种联结感之外，还有更深层次的心理回报。”总领本段，引出下文观鸟带来的心理益处，符合语境。故选E。 4．上文“Unlike a casual walk, it requires observation, identification, and subtle reasoning.(与随意散步不同，它需要观察、识别和细致的推理。)”说明观鸟需要主动投入。选项G“这些行为让他专注于当下，将一种爱好转化为深度的专注。”承接上文的具体行为，说明这些行为带来的效果。故选G。 5．上文“For Mike, each morning spent among the reeds is more than a pastime.(对迈克来说，在芦苇丛中度过的每个早晨都不仅仅是一种消遣。)”强调观鸟的深层意义。下文“Here, he finds a conversation with the wild, and a proven support for mental well-being.(在这里，他找到了与自然的对话，也找到了一种被证实的心理健康支持。)”进一步说明观鸟的价值。选项A“这是一种正念练习。”概括观鸟的本质，衔接上文“不仅仅是消遣”，引出下文对心理健康的支持。故选A。 Passage 4 完形填空 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。（2026届四川泸州市高三下学期第三次教学质量监测） Cristina, a devoted diver with over 25 years of experience, first encountered her lifelong career while diving in the ocean. Beneath the 1 , she witnessed sharks were increasingly 2 for human activities which led to infection, suffering, and even death. One day in 2022, a female shark with foggy eyes 3 .

There used to be huge flocks of them, but now they’re in danger of dying out. But scientists may have found a way to help the birds survive – by getting older birds to teach younger birds how to sing.摄政蜂鸟是一种体色美丽的黑黄相间鸟类，分布于澳大利亚东南部。过去它们曾形成庞大的鸟群，但如今正面临灭绝的危险。不过科学家可能找到了帮助这些鸟类生存的方法——让年长的蜂鸟向年轻个体传授歌唱技巧。 【原文·时文阅读】 文章来源：https://newsforkids.net/articles/2026/04/02/saving-a-song-wild-birds-teach-young-birds-to-sing/ The honeyeaters are endangered because large areas of the forests where they live have been cut down. Scientists think there are only about 250 regent honeyeaters left in the wild. As their numbers have dropped, the birds have become more spread out. This has caused an unusual problem: young honeyeaters in the wild haven’t been learning the song that male honeyeaters have always sung. That’s a problem, since male regent honeyeaters use this song to attract mates and defend their territory. Some young honeyeaters sing simpler versions of the old song. Others are even copying the songs of different kinds of birds. Because there are so few of the birds left in the wild, some zoos in Australia have been raising regent honeyeaters in captivity. The goal is to release these birds into the wild. But without hearing any adult male honeyeaters sing, young birds in captivity can only develop a very basic song that scientists describe as “strange”. When they’re released into the wild, these birds may struggle to attract mates with their singing. Daniel Appleby and other scientists at the Australian National University began to work on a plan to help the birds learn the right song. They knew that young birds normally learn the song by listening to older males. So they decided to try to give the young birds a singing tutor (teacher). The scientists first tried playing recordings of the song all day long for the young birds. That had no effect on the songs that the young birds made. The zoos* had two older birds who had been born in the wild and knew the song. The scientists decided to try to use these birds as teachers. They put each of these birds, as a tutor, into an area with several younger birds. That worked well. After about three months, the younger birds began to sing the correct song. The scientists found that when there were five or fewer young birds for each tutor, the young birds learned the song very well. So well, in fact, that it was hard to tell their songs apart. As the program continued, some of the successful younger birds became tutors themselves, teaching the song to other birds. Now, over half of the male honeyeaters raised in zoos can sing the correct song. The researchers are releasing some of these young birds into the wild. They are watching carefully to see how the young birds do. 【原创·阅读理解】 1.What problem do the young honeyeaters face as their numbers have decreased? A.Large areas of the forests have been cut down.

There were two little black animals in the snow, shaking under a bush. Upon closer inspection, Laura realized that the birds were a pair of ducks. The animal lover immediately knew something was wrong — the birds didn’t look like wild ducks, and they seemed to be suffering in the freezing temperatures. Immediately, Laura contacted Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary (庇护所), who sent rescues to the scene. “Literally within 15 minutes, they were out the door and at the park, and they had the shaking ducks comfortable in a warm carrier,” Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary wrote in a post. Rescuers identified the birds as black Swedish ducks — medium-sized domestic ducks known for their black-and-white coloring. Their hearts broke for the birds, who had likely been abandoned. “There are no ducks that I know of that are that size and that color who are wild,” a representative from the rescue said. Unlike wild ducks, domestic ducks cannot fly, making it very difficult for them to survive without human care. These two probably wouldn’t have made it if Laura hadn’t stepped in. Both birds were “disorderly,” and one of them suffered from discharge around her eyes. Sanctuary team members quickly cleaned them up and settled them in a warm place. They spent weeks monitoring their food intake and health, making sure the birds were on the road to recovery. Today, these birds are feeling much better, enjoying life in their forever home. “They’re both doing very well,” Laura said in an interview. “They’re living happily with all their other duck friends at the sanctuary!” 1．Which word best describes Laura in paragraph 1? A．Observant. B．Optimistic. C．Cooperative. D．Confident. 2．What indicated the ducks were domestic rather than wild? A．Their relatively small size. B．Their distinct appearance. C．Their shaking in the cold. D．Their presence in the park. 3．What does the word “disorderly” in paragraph 3 describe about the ducks? A．Their physical state. B．Their eating habits. C．Their living environment. D．Their social behavior. 4．What made the rescue a success? A．The ducks’ domestic nature. B．The favorable weather conditions. C．Advanced rescue equipment. D．Individual awareness and expert action. Passage2阅读理解 （2026届南京市、盐城市高三年级第一次模拟）Improving fitness was Dion Leonard’s inspiration for starting marathon recreationally together with his wife Lucja, and then as race competitors. After finishing sixth in a South African race, he traveled to China to compete in a 155-mile race across the Gobi Desert. On the first day, he noticed a small stray (流浪的) dog wandering around the campsite, where amused competitors fed her with their own limited supplies. On day two, Dion and the dog took some time to warm up to each other,and she even tried to chew his running equipment. Dion soon named her Gobi. Besides having completed a race requiring remarkable physical strength together, they also overcame emotionally trying circumstances when tasked with saving a severely worn-out competitor,ultimately costing them first place in the race. Through thick and thin, Dion and Gobi survived together and had no intentions of parting ways at the finish line. Determined to adopt Gobi and take her back to his home in Scotland, Dion launched a crowdfunding campaign that proved wildly successful. He later donated all extra funds to stray dog rescue organizations. However, disaster struck: Gobi went missing in Urumqi while awaiting an official approval to leave China. Despite the language barrier and the city’s 3 million population, Dion immediately flew back to search for her. By then, their heartwarming story had gained international media coverage, inspiring hundreds of Chinese volunteers to join in his search. Thankfully, Gobi was found. The reunion did more than bring them back together; it helped people of different cultures grow closer together as well. The pair now live happily in Tucson. Dion has written and published books documenting his and Gobi’s story — the children’s book tells a visual story through Gobi’s eyes while the adult book (a New York Times bestseller called Finding Gobi) addresses themes such as Dion’s upbringing that drove him not to leave Gobi behind. The different angles educate about everything from the value of exercise to animal welfare to overcoming obstacles. 5．What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A．Dion quickly formed a bond with Gobi. B．The organizers provided limited supplies. C．Gobi amused runners by chewing equipment. D．Dogs were encouraged to accompany runners. 6．Why did Dion launch a crowdfunding campaign? A．To finance his search for Gobi. B．To help rescue other stray dogs. C．To cover the cost of bringing Gobi back home. D．To obtain an approval for Gobi to leave China. 7．Which of the following best describes Dion’s books? A．Critical and cross-cultural. B．Motivational and time-honored. C．Innovative and fantasy-rooted. D．Heartfelt and multi-dimensional. 8．What is the main idea of the text? A．Animal protection is always on the way. B．A friendship can go beyond boundaries. C．Traveling a thousand miles makes a man. D．Differences can be bridged with joint efforts. Passage 3 阅读七选五 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。（2026·河北石家庄市第二中学等校一模） Mike, a devoted birdwatcher, begins the morning not with an alarm, but with the first chorus of dawn. His retreat is the quiet edge of the wetland, and his tool is an old telescope. 1 A study confirms that birdwatching can boost happiness, reduce stress, and deepen one’s bond with nature more effectively than a simple walk in the park. This experience reflects the deeply rooted human connection to the natural world. Mike doesn’t just observe nature; he feels part of it. 2 Researchers suggest that biodiversity itself functions as a kind of medicine, easing tension and inviting calm through its subtle complexity. 3 When Mike is tracking a bird’s slow hunt or identifying a bird by its melody, he enters a state known as “flow”. Time slips away, replaced by focused curiosity and quiet engagement. This absorption emerges naturally, leaving him afterward with a gentle wave of satisfaction — a mental clarity that stays long after he lowers his telescope. What makes birdwatching uniquely effective, in Mike’s view, is its mix of passive immersion and active attention. Unlike a casual walk, it requires observation, identification, and subtle reasoning. 4 For Mike, each morning spent among the reeds (芦苇) is more than a pastime. 5 Here, he finds a conversation with the wild, and a proven support for mental well-being. With each new sighting, he doesn’t just add to his life list — he returns to his daily life a little lighter, a little clearer, reminded that sometimes, the best therapy comes on wings. A．It is a practice in mindfulness. B．This is just a pastime bringing him in the wild. C．The diversity of life in these habitats refreshes his mind. D．Birdwatching often causes Mike to be tense but fulfilled. E．Beyond this sense of connection lies a deeper psychological reward. F．Recently, science has begun to explain what Mike has felt for years. G．These actions keep him in the present, turning a hobby into deep focus.
