Sandoval, who comes from Los Angeles, has traveled and filmed in over 50 countries across seven continents and now lives in China. “In 2008, tired of my studio work in the U.S. I came to China, with the hope of trying something different for myself.” he said.
Sandoval is a professional photographer and he went to Chengdu in Southwest China to live in October 2008 and has traveled throughout the country since then.
To him, Chengdu is the capital of a laid-back lifestyle. He was delighted to see that residents, dressed stylishly or comfortably, strolled in the streets “as slowly as snails”. Almost a “walking encyclopedia” of Chengdu, Sandoval covered every corner of Chengdu and recorded Chengduese and their lives with his camera, listening to the sound of mahjong being played and music from traditional stringed instruments.
He also goes from place to place with his heavy travel kit. The various culture and vast, beautiful land has kept him in China much longer than he had planned in the beginning. He remembers a wide range of adventures like exploring a local vineyard and local wine in Yinchuan City, a riding performance by a Mongolian ethnic group in the Shuidonggou Horse Riding Show, and then the totally different experience of visiting the Hainan Free Trade Port in the south.
He thinks he has done a lot in “this beautiful and vast country” with his “travel photos”. “I try to show people the beauty of where I go. I try to inspire them to travel and go to places. I’m hoping to do more international work.” he said.

Emperor penguins are the largest penguins on Earth. Each adult is over a meter tall, and can weigh up to 40 kilograms.
For many months each year, emperor penguins live near the sea in large groups. However, the weather gets colder in May, and ice covers large areas of ocean. Each group moves many kilometers from the water. There, each mother penguin lays just a single egg. Then all the hungry mothers walk back to the ocean to find food. The father penguins put their eggs on top of their feet. They cover the eggs with a special piece of skin called the brood pouch.
For two months, the father penguins protect the eggs and keep them warm. They do this through some of the coldest weather conditions on Earth. By July, it is winter in Antarctica. Most other animals leave for warmer places, but the father penguins stay.
By August each mother penguin returns just in time to see her baby hatch. The chick is then moved to her brood pouch. This can be difficult. If the chick falls, it can freeze quickly. The penguin parents must be very careful. Once the chick has been moved, the father penguin can go back to the ocean to find food.
Over the next few months, penguin parents take turns going to the ocean for food. They each make the trip several times, bringing back food for the chick. The chick is always hungry and grows rapidly.
By December winter is ending. The chick can now live on its own. Soon it enters the water for the first time. It will swim and eat until next April, and then return. After a few more years, it, too, will start its own family.
8. What do father penguins do after the mother penguins lay eggs?
A. Build nests to keep the eggs warm. B. Cover the eggs with their whole body.
C. Take turns carrying the eggs to the sea. D. Hold the eggs on their feet with a skin pouch.
9. What will mother penguins do after returning in August?
A. Hatch the egg in the brood pouch. B. Move the chick to her brood pouch.
C. Let the father penguins rest immediately. D. Feed the chick with food from the ocean.
10. According to the text, when can the penguin chick begin to live on its own?
A. After the spring. B. Before the summer.
C. During the fall. D. After the winter.
11. What can be the title of the text?
A. How Emperor Penguin Parents Lay Their Eggs
B. The Life Cycle of Emperor Penguins in Antarctica
C. Surviving the Cold: Emperor Penguins’ Winter Habits
D. From Ocean to Land: Where Emperor Penguins Lay Eggs
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】

细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The father penguins put their eggs on top of their feet. They cover the eggs with a special piece of skin called the brood pouch.(企鹅爸爸把蛋放在自己的脚上,用一块叫做孵卵袋的特殊皮肤覆盖着蛋。)”可知,企鹅妈妈产蛋后,企鹅爸爸把蛋放在脚上并用孵卵袋保护。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“By August each mother penguin returns just in time to see her baby hatch. The chick is then moved to her brood pouch.(到了八月,每位企鹅妈妈正好返回看到自己的宝宝孵化。然后企鹅宝宝被转移到她的孵卵袋里。)”可知,妈妈返回后会把宝宝移到自己的孵卵袋中。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段“By December winter is ending. The chick can now live on its own.(到了十二月,冬天即将结束。企鹅宝宝现在可以独立生活了。)”可知,企鹅宝宝在冬天结束后可以独立生活。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章按照时间顺序介绍了帝企鹅从产蛋、孵化、育雏到幼崽独立并最终组建自己家庭的完整过程,属于生命周期的描述。选项B“The Life Cycle of Emperor Penguins in Antarctica(南极帝企鹅的生命周期)”最全面地概括了文章内容。故选B。

From hotter summers to more frequent floods, warming weather is affecting our lives in every way. For animals, however, it’s not just their living environment that’s in danger, but their very existence. Many beloved animals, including penguins and elephants, are at risk of disappearing because of climate change.
A study published on March 7 used fossils (化石) from sea creatures to find out which animals are most vulnerable as our planet’s climate continues to change.
Carried out by the University of Oxford, the study found that the size has a great effect on their extinction because they use up their energy quickly. They need lots of food to stay alive. Unfortunately, small animals often live in narrow or limited spaces. Furthermore, small animals usually don’t live as long as larger ones, making them easily influenced by factors that might cause their extinction.
Another problem is that small animals generally don’t travel far, so if their home is disturbed, or if new dangers threaten it, it may be hard for them to find new homes, or enough for them to survive. What’s worse, small animals often have more babies, which means it’s harder for them to ensure the safety of their children. In other words, they are at more risk of going extinct, according to the study.
Besides small animals, those living in extreme heat or cold — such as the poles (地极) — face more threats. These areas experience great climate changes, making life harder for species already dealing with tough conditions. As climate change gets worse, these extreme environments change more quickly, bringing more danger to the animals there.
This study offers important information on protecting wildlife as the world warms. “Knowing which creatures are most at risk is very important for planning how to protect them,” commented Earth. org. By focusing on the most at-risk species, conservationists (环境保护主义者) can do their work better, use limited resources well and improve the chances of keeping biodiversity alive despite environmental challenges.
12. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” probably mean in paragraph 2?
A. likely to be harmed. B. Difficult to be affected.
C. Possible to be forgotten. D. Unnecessary to be protected.
13. Why are smaller animals more likely to die out?
A. More enemies and less places to hide.
B. Short life period and little need for food.
C. Easy destruction of habitats and slow growth.
D. High energy burning and inability to move far.
14. What can we infer about the species in areas with extreme weathers?
A. Their survival chances are likely to decrease.
B. They might move to safer environments over time.
C. Their population will experience a sharp reduction.
D. They may gradually adapt to the changing conditions.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To explain a research method. B. To introduce the findings of a study.
C. To show conservationists’ difficulties. D. To stress the value of wildlife protection.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了气候变化对动物生存的影响,特别是哪些动物因气候变化而面临更高的灭绝风险。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“For animals, however, it’s not just their living environment that’s in danger, but their very existence. Many beloved animals, including penguins and elephants, are at risk of disappearing because of climate change.(然而,对于动物而言,不仅它们的生存环境岌岌可危,就连它们的存在本身也面临着威胁。由于气候变化,许多深受人们喜爱的动物,包括企鹅和大象,都面临着消失的风险。)”和第二段“as our planet’s climate continues to change(随着地球气候持续变化)”可知,划线词所在句子表示“随着地球气候持续变化,哪些动物最为脆弱”,vulnerable的意思是“脆弱的,容易受到伤害的”,和likely to be harmed意思相近。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Carried out by the University of Oxford, the study found that the size has a great effect on their extinction because they use up their energy quickly.(这项由牛津大学开展的研究发现,动物的体型大小对其灭绝有着重大影响,因为小型动物消耗能量的速度很快。)”和第四段“Another problem is that small animals generally don’t travel far, so if their home is disturbed, or if new dangers threaten it, it may be hard for them to find new homes, or enough for them to survive.(另一个问题是,小型动物通常不会远行,因此,如果它们的栖息地受到干扰,或者面临新的威胁,它们可能很难找到新的栖息地,或者找到足够维持生存的资源。)”可知,小型动物更容易灭绝是因为它们能量消耗大,无法跑很远。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“These areas experience great climate changes, making life harder for species already dealing with tough conditions. As climate change gets worse, these extreme environments change more quickly, bringing more danger to the animals there.(这些地区的气候变化剧烈,使得那些已经在艰难环境中生存的物种的生活更加艰难。随着气候变化的加剧,这些极端环境的变化速度更快,给那里的动物带来了更多的危险。)”可知,生活在极端气候地区的物种的生存几率可能会降低。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第二段“A study published on March 7 used fossils (化石) from sea creatures to find out which animals are most vulnerable as our planet’s climate continues to change.(3月7日发表的一项研究利用海洋生物的化石,来探究随着地球气候持续变化,哪些动物最为脆弱。)”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍一项研究的发现。故选B。

Stretch (伸展) or dance while surfing
____17____? Practice a simple movement challenge! So, to step out of your comfort zone and increase life satisfaction, stretch yourself to get active. Next time you’re drawn to use the phone, instead, stand up and stretch by reaching your arms slowly overhead. Or, pick a song from your playlist for a 3-minute dance that leaves you a little out of breath.
Enjoy your favorite activities
When you enjoy things you value, like fun or adventure, you can train your brain to want them more. This works for movement too. ____18____. They are more satisfying than phone time.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了当感到疲惫时,可以通过四种方式(伸展或跳舞、享受喜爱的活动、将担忧转化为行动、给熟悉运动增添新意)来用运动替代使用手机以减轻疲劳。
【16题详解】
上文“When you’re tired, you may turn to your phone. Surfing and using social media feel good as they activate brain reward pathways, causing dopamine (多巴胺). However, minutes spent moving can also reduce tiredness.(当你累了的时候,你可能会求助于你的手机。上网和使用社交媒体会让人感觉良好,因为它们会激活大脑的奖励通路,产生多巴胺。然而,花几分钟运动也能减轻疲劳)”说明累了的时候,人们倾向于求助于手机,但运动也能减轻疲劳。空处和前文为顺接关系,前文提出运动可缓解疲劳,后文应衔接 “如何尝试运动”。所以F项“你应该养成选择运动而非手机的习惯。”符合语境,既呼应前文 “运动缓解疲劳”,又引出下文 “四种尝试方法”。故选F。
【17题详解】
上文“Stretch (伸展) or dance while surfing(上网时伸展或跳舞)”提出了一种在上网时可以做的活动。下文“Next time you’re drawn to use the phone, instead, stand up and stretch by reaching your arms slowly overhead. Or, pick a song from your playlist for a 3-minute dance that leaves you a little out of breath.(下次你被手机吸引的时候,站起来,慢慢地把胳膊伸到头顶,伸展一下身体。或者,从你的播放列表中挑选一首让你上气不接下气的3分钟舞曲。)”具体说明如何在被手机吸引时去运动;E 项“当你特别想玩手机时能做什么”以提问形式引出下文具体的运动措施,后文“Practice a simple movement challenge(练习一个简单的动作挑战)”回答空处问题;由此可知,E选项符合语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“This works for movement too.(这对运动也适用)”以及下文“Next, take a few moments to enjoy the activities, before, during or after the experience.(接下来,花点时间享受这些活动,在体验之前、期间或之后。)”可知,设空处需说明享受运动之前第一步要做的事情,即如何开始,D项“先从确定你觉得有趣的体育活动开始”符合语境,下文“They are more satisfying than phone time.(它们比电话时间更令人满意)”中they指代选项中的“physical activities you find exciting”。故选D。
【19题详解】
下文“If you care, let that drive you to find solutions. Act on issues you care about creatively and physically. Worried about the environment? Walk, bike, or join local restoration projects. Care about children or families? Volunteer at after-school programs. Reduce global problems by starting a community walking group to discuss these issues.(如果你在乎,就让它驱使你去寻找解决方案。对你关心的问题采取创造性的行动。担心环境问题?步行,骑自行车,或者加入当地的修复项目。关心孩子或家庭?在课外活动中做志愿者。通过建立一个社区步行小组来讨论这些问题来减少全球性问题。)”可知,本段主要建议将担忧转化为善意的行动。空处需概括段落主旨;B项“把担忧变成善意的行动”符合本段主旨,其中“worry”对应后文“worried about the environment”,“action”对应“walk, bike, volunteer”等行为。故选B。
【20题详解】
上文“Take a walk in a location with surprises like a new coffee shop, a sunset, or a street with your favorite flowers.(去一个有惊喜的地方散步,比如一家新开的咖啡店、一个日落,或者一条有你最喜欢的花的街道)”提出了一种让散步更有趣的方法;G项“你还可以添加一些新鲜的挑战,比如每半英里做一次俯卧撑”与前文构成并列关系,进一步举例说明如何给运动增加新意;“fresh challenges”呼应段落主题“给熟悉运动换新貌”。故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“茶马古道”的历史背景、重要性及其作为贸易路线和文化交流桥梁的角色。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:随着它最近的流行,你可能也听说过“茶马古道”,这是另一个陆路贸易路线网络,在航海变得普遍之前,它将中国与亚洲和欧洲的各个地区连接起来。根据空前的形容词recent可知,此处应填名词形式popularity,意为“流行,普及”,为不可数名词。故填popularity。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:从历史上看,“茶马古道”的价值不亚于“丝绸之路”。此处应用副词作状语,修饰整个句子,history的副词形式是historically,意为“从历史上看”,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Historically。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:从历史上看,“茶马古道”的价值不亚于“丝绸之路”。此处应用形容词作表语,value的形容词形式是valuable意为“有价值的”。故填valuable。
【39题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:而且由于它们各自的位置,有时“茶马古道”被称为“南方丝绸之路”。此处描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语the “Ancient Tea Horse Road”和refer to之间是被动关系,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是单数,be动词用is。故填is referred。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“茶马古道”得名于中国茶和马是沿线买卖的主要商品。句中已有谓语动词were,所以空处应用非谓语动词,buy和逻辑主语products之间是动宾关系,应用过去分词作后置定语。故填bought。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:历史学家将“茶马古道”的起源追溯到唐朝,当时茶叶正从云南运往北京、西藏和其他地方。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为the Tang Dynasty,在从句中作时间状语,应用关系副词when。故填when。
【42题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意:“茶马古道”在宋明时期得到了进一步发展,直到清朝,它全年都是一条繁忙的贸易路线。根据语境可知,此处表示“进一步发展”,应用副词far的比较级,farther和further都是far的比较级形式,farther通常用于表示实际距离上的“更远”,而further则更侧重于表示程度上的“进一步、更深层次”。此处指“茶马古道”在发展程度上更进一步,是抽象意义上的,应用further。故填further。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:“茶马古道”在宋明时期得到了进一步发展,直到清朝,它全年都是一条繁忙的贸易路线。route为可数名词,此处表泛指,且busy是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:“茶马古道”不仅是一条贸易路线,也是连接不同种族(如汉族和藏族)的桥梁。serve as是固定短语,意为“作为,充当”。故填as。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它位于“世界屋脊”附近,是许多少数民族的聚居地,这使它成为许多景点的所在地。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词is,所以空处应用非谓语动词,make和逻辑主语前面整个句子之间是主谓关系,应用现在分词作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果。故填making。
第三节 词汇填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下列各题,根据所给中英文提示或首字母,写上1个语义通顺、语法正确的单词或短语。

【答案】extinction
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:大象的栖息地正在缩小,所以它们面临灭绝的危险。in danger of后需接名词作宾语,extinct的名词形式是extinction,不可数。故填extinction。
47. The local government doesn’t have to sacrifice (牺牲) environmental protection to promote ________ (economy) growth. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】economic
【解析】
【详解】句意:当地政府不必为了促进经济增长而牺牲环境保护。此处需用形容词修饰名词growth,economy的形容词为economic意为“经济的”。
48. Although ________ (challenge) by limited resources, our team delivered an outstanding product eventually. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】challenged
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管受到资源有限的挑战,我们团队最终还是交付了一款出色的产品。此处为although引导的让步状语从句的省略结构,“challenge”与逻辑主语“our team”之间为被动关系,所以此处使用过去分词形式challenged,完整形式为“Although our team was challenged by limited resources”。故填challenged。
49. There has still been no official ________(confirm) of the report, so we don’t know if it is true. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】confirmation
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:目前还没有官方确认该报道,所以我们不知道它是否属实。形容词official修饰名词confirmation,作宾语,为不可数名词。故填confirmation。
50. Hearing her son’s voice on the phone, the woman sat back with great ________. (relieve). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】relief
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:听到电话里儿子的声音,这位女士如释重负地坐了回去。“with great relief”表示“如释重负地”。名词relief作宾语。故填relief。

【答案】flood
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:这场洪水毁坏了庄稼,导致该地区出现了粮食短缺的情况。“洪水”应用名词flood,作主语,空前有定冠词,此处指特定的某场洪水,flood用单数形式。故填flood。
54. The species has nearly died out because its ________ (栖息地) is being destroyed. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】habitat
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:该物种几乎濒临灭绝,因为其栖息地正在遭到破坏。根据汉语提示可知用名词habitat,作主语,结合后文is可知为单数。故填habitat。

第二节 读后续写(满分15分)
57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Some of my best childhood memories are from my grandparents’ farm, filled with the gentle sounds of chickens. Among them, a special chick named Bulldozer became my closest friend. We named him for his funny, determined walk. Unlike other roosters, Bulldozer was gentle and quiet.
My favorite memory was watching him do his happy dance around the yard. He would run towards me, his feathers shaking with excitement, and then circle me as if celebrating my arrival. My dad, who usually was busy with work, always had a smile for Bulldozer. He enjoyed the rooster’s company while gardening. My mom would save him little treats from the kitchen, like bits of vegetable, and he would eat gently from her hand. In the evenings, I would often sit on the back steps doing my homework, and he would settle quietly beside me. Those peaceful moments were my treasure. He was more than a pet; he was a listener to my secrets and a calm part of our family’s daily life.
Bulldozer lived with us for several happy years, becoming a familiar and loved part of our neighborhood. However, one quiet autumn afternoon, something felt wrong. The yard was silent. Bulldozer, who was usually waiting for me at the fence, was nowhere to be seen. My heart dropped. We found him lying still under his favorite tree. He was gone, as if he had simply gone to sleep there. The vet said it was likely a peaceful, natural end due to his age.
We buried him under that same tree. The yard felt incredibly empty. I missed his dance, his quiet company, and the simple joy he brought to our family every day. The happy memories we shared now felt bittersweet, and a deep sadness settled in my heart.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为80左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
For a long time, I couldn’t bring myself to visit the corner of the yard.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】possible version 1:
For a long time, I couldn’t bring myself to visit the corner of the yard. Every time I passed by that tree, tears would blur my eyes. But as the seasons changed, I began to sit there often, recalling his happy dance and gentle company. I realized Bulldozer didn’t really leave — he lived on in my heart and those warm memories. Now, when I feel lonely, I still talk to him, as if he’s still quietly beside me, bringing me peace and comfort.
possible version 2:
For a long time, I couldn’t bring myself to visit the corner of the yard. The tree under which we buried him reminded me of his quiet figure. But one spring morning, I noticed a few small flowers growing around the tree. I sat down gently, as if sitting beside him again. Those sweet memories of his happy dance and warm company slowly chased away the sadness. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.
【解析】

Sandoval is a professional photographer and he went to Chengdu in Southwest China to live in October 2008 and has traveled throughout the country since then.
To him, Chengdu is the capital of a laid-back lifestyle. He was delighted to see that residents, dressed stylishly or comfortably, strolled in the streets “as slowly as snails”. Almost a “walking encyclopedia” of Chengdu, Sandoval covered every corner of Chengdu and recorded Chengduese and their lives with his camera, listening to the sound of mahjong being played and music from traditional stringed instruments.
He also goes from place to place with his heavy travel kit. The various culture and vast, beautiful land has kept him in China much longer than he had planned in the beginning. He remembers a wide range of adventures like exploring a local vineyard and local wine in Yinchuan City, a riding performance by a Mongolian ethnic group in the Shuidonggou Horse Riding Show, and then the totally different experience of visiting the Hainan Free Trade Port in the south.
He thinks he has done a lot in “this beautiful and vast country” with his “travel photos”. “I try to show people the beauty of where I go. I try to inspire them to travel and go to places. I’m hoping to do more international work.” he said.
4. Why did Sandoval come to China in 2008?
A. He wanted to seek for something different. B. He was not good at studio work in the U.S.
C. He had a preference for international work. D. He was attracted by China’s natural scenery.

Emperor penguins are the largest penguins on Earth. Each adult is over a meter tall, and can weigh up to 40 kilograms.
For many months each year, emperor penguins live near the sea in large groups. However, the weather gets colder in May, and ice covers large areas of ocean. Each group moves many kilometers from the water. There, each mother penguin lays just a single egg. Then all the hungry mothers walk back to the ocean to find food. The father penguins put their eggs on top of their feet. They cover the eggs with a special piece of skin called the brood pouch.
For two months, the father penguins protect the eggs and keep them warm. They do this through some of the coldest weather conditions on Earth. By July, it is winter in Antarctica. Most other animals leave for warmer places, but the father penguins stay.
By August each mother penguin returns just in time to see her baby hatch. The chick is then moved to her brood pouch. This can be difficult. If the chick falls, it can freeze quickly. The penguin parents must be very careful. Once the chick has been moved, the father penguin can go back to the ocean to find food.
Over the next few months, penguin parents take turns going to the ocean for food. They each make the trip several times, bringing back food for the chick. The chick is always hungry and grows rapidly.
By December winter is ending. The chick can now live on its own. Soon it enters the water for the first time. It will swim and eat until next April, and then return. After a few more years, it, too, will start its own family.

From hotter summers to more frequent floods, warming weather is affecting our lives in every way. For animals, however, it’s not just their living environment that’s in danger, but their very existence. Many beloved animals, including penguins and elephants, are at risk of disappearing because of climate change.
A study published on March 7 used fossils (化石) from sea creatures to find out which animals are most vulnerable as our planet’s climate continues to change.
Carried out by the University of Oxford, the study found that the size has a great effect on their extinction because they use up their energy quickly. They need lots of food to stay alive. Unfortunately, small animals often live in narrow or limited spaces. Furthermore, small animals usually don’t live as long as larger ones, making them easily influenced by factors that might cause their extinction.
Another problem is that small animals generally don’t travel far, so if their home is disturbed, or if new dangers threaten it, it may be hard for them to find new homes, or enough for them to survive. What’s worse, small animals often have more babies, which means it’s harder for them to ensure the safety of their children. In other words, they are at more risk of going extinct, according to the study.
Besides small animals, those living in extreme heat or cold — such as the poles (地极) — face more threats. These areas experience great climate changes, making life harder for species already dealing with tough conditions. As climate change gets worse, these extreme environments change more quickly, bringing more danger to the animals there.
This study offers important information on protecting wildlife as the world warms. “Knowing which creatures are most at risk is very important for planning how to protect them,” commented Earth. org. By focusing on the most at-risk species, conservationists (环境保护主义者) can do their work better, use limited resources well and improve the chances of keeping biodiversity alive despite environmental challenges.
12. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” probably mean in paragraph 2?
A. likely to be harmed. B. Difficult to be affected.
C. Possible to be forgotten. D. Unnecessary to be protected.
13. Why are smaller animals more likely to die out?
A. More enemies and less places to hide.
B. Short life period and little need for food.
C. Easy destruction of habitats and slow growth.
D. High energy burning and inability to move far.
14. What can we infer about the species in areas with extreme weathers?
A. Their survival chances are likely to decrease.
B. They might move to safer environments over time.
C. Their population will experience a sharp reduction.
D. They may gradually adapt to the changing conditions.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To explain a research method. B. To introduce the findings of a study.
C. To show conservationists’ difficulties. D. To stress the value of wildlife protection.

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Some of my best childhood memories are from my grandparents’ farm, filled with the gentle sounds of chickens. Among them, a special chick named Bulldozer became my closest friend. We named him for his funny, determined walk. Unlike other roosters, Bulldozer was gentle and quiet.
My favorite memory was watching him do his happy dance around the yard. He would run towards me, his feathers shaking with excitement, and then circle me as if celebrating my arrival. My dad, who usually was busy with work, always had a smile for Bulldozer. He enjoyed the rooster’s company while gardening. My mom would save him little treats from the kitchen, like bits of vegetable, and he would eat gently from her hand. In the evenings, I would often sit on the back steps doing my homework, and he would settle quietly beside me. Those peaceful moments were my treasure. He was more than a pet; he was a listener to my secrets and a calm part of our family’s daily life.
Bulldozer lived with us for several happy years, becoming a familiar and loved part of our neighborhood. However, one quiet autumn afternoon, something felt wrong. The yard was silent. Bulldozer, who was usually waiting for me at the fence, was nowhere to be seen. My heart dropped. We found him lying still under his favorite tree. He was gone, as if he had simply gone to sleep there. The vet said it was likely a peaceful, natural end due to his age.
We buried him under that same tree. The yard felt incredibly empty. I missed his dance, his quiet company, and the simple joy he brought to our family every day. The happy memories we shared now felt bittersweet, and a deep sadness settled in my heart.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为80左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
For a long time, I couldn’t bring myself to visit the corner of the yard.
