(选择正确答案) Elephants are among the most intelligent animals on Earth. They have an amazing communication system that scientists are just beginning to understand. Elephants can produce sounds 1 low for human ears to hear. This infrasound can travel over 10 kilometers, allowing distant elephants to “talk” to each other. When danger 2 , older elephants will warn the herd by making special rumbling sounds. Baby elephants learn these important calls from their mothers and aunts. The whole herd 3 together to protect the young. Besides sounds, elephants use body language to communicate. A happy elephant will flap its ears and wag its tail. An angry elephant may trumpet loudly and 4 its ears out to look bigger. Sadly, elephant populations are declining due to habitat loss and poaching. Conservationists are working hard to 5 these magnificent creatures. By studying how elephants communicate, we can better understand 6 to protect them. 1．A．very B．too C．so D．such 2．A．approaches B．leaves C．disappears D．reduces 3．A．fights B．works C．plays D．studies 4．A．pull B．push C．spread D．fold 5．A．feed B．save C．catch D．train 6．A．when B．where C．how D．why Do you enjoy wildlife watching? The People’s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) is asking for people all over the UK to help with its 2023 Living with Mammals (哺乳动物) survey, which starts this March. PTES is a UK wildlife charity (慈善) group. Living with Mammals survey is one of its projects. This volunteer project will continue until the end of 2023. It asks the public to 1 any mammals they see in their garden, a park or even on a school sports field. PTES will use the information from the survey to find out where protection projects are most needed. The charity hopes the survey will help it understand the UK's changing 2 , so it can encourage wildlife in towns. If you are a volunteer, you are asked to record when and where you see any wild 3 . You can also take a record of any signs of mammals you see, like footprints, and then record your sightings (发现) online. You don't have to be a wildlife expert because the website of PTES explains how to tell the difference between similar animals. Even common sightings, like rabbits and foxes, will be 4 . You can also share pictures of your findings on the Internet. 5 you can spare some time each week, we hope you'll join us in trying to help save as many our much-loved mammals as possible.

It is largely the result of overfishing, driven by demand for its meat and fins. By 2020, Raja Ampat’s zebra shark population had dropped to about 20. “ 1 a reintroduction programme, there are simply not enough zebra sharks left in Raja Ampat to recover on their own”, said Nesha Ichida, an Indonesian marine scientist. ReShark’s first project, called STAR, broke new ground (or water) in 2023. On a January day, Nesha carefully supported a 15-week-old zebra shark named Charlie—the first zebra shark to be 2 in the waters of Raja Ampat. “Everyone involved in the STAR project had been working towards that moment for three years, so we were all incredibly proud,” says Nesha. Reintroducing species to oceans is far more challenging than reintroducing them on land. Not only are reintroduced animals harder to track underwater, but threats to their existence are also more 3 to manage. After all, reintroducing sharks is pointless if they are going to face the danger that caused their original disappearance. Across the world, sharks of all species are being killed faster than aquariums could ever replace them. On top of this, sharks 4 relatively slowly, take many years to mature and produce few young. This means efforts to protect wild sharks are critical. 5 , giving wild shark populations a helping hand through rewilding could prove hugely beneficial. Moving beyond zebra sharks, the ReShark team is currently looking at other shark species and other 6 — from angel sharks in the Canary Islands and off the coast of Wales, to nurse sharks in East Africa. “The STAR project has opened the door to new possibilities,” says Erin Meyer, chairman of the STAR project steering committee. “Considering nearly 400 species of sharks and rays are threatened with extinction, the need to add ocean ‘resharking’ is clear and urgent.” 1．A．By B．Without C．With D．Under 2．A．caught B．cured C．released D．sold 3．A．convenient B．dangerous C．important D．difficult 4．A．grow B．escape C．swim D．eat 5．A．Besides B．Luckily C．Nevertheless D．Actually 6．A．animals B．locations C．threats D．projects 三、阅读理解 Emperor penguins are the largest penguins on Earth, with adults reaching over a metre tall and weighing up to 45 kilograms. However, raising a chick is still a challenging task for these large birds. It requires great efforts from both parents to successfully raise a baby penguin. 1) ________ For many months each year, emperor penguins live near the sea in large groups. However, when the weather gets colder in May, ice begins to cover large areas of the ocean. Each group then moves many kilometres away from the water. There, each mother penguin lays just a single egg. 2) ________ Soon after laying the egg, all the hungry mothers walk back to the ocean to hunt for food. The father penguins take on the responsibility of keeping the eggs warm by placing them on top of their feet. They also cover the eggs with a special piece of skin called the brood pouch. For two months, the father penguins protect the eggs no matter how harsh the weather conditions are, and never give up. By July, it is winter in Antarctica. While most other animals leave for warmer places, the father penguins stay still in windy weather. 3) ________ By August, each mother penguin returns just in time to see her baby hatch (孵出). “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 safely 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 ever-hungry chick. With their efforts, the chick grows rapidly. 4) ________ By December, as winter ends, the chick is ready to survive independently. Soon it enters the water for the first time, where it will swim and hunt for food until next April. In a few more years, it will also ________, continuing the cycle of life. 1．The penguins’ brood pouches are used to ________. A．keep the eggs and baby penguins warm B．bring food back from the sea C．carry the eggs when the penguins move D．hunt for food 2．The underlined word “harsh” most probably means ________. A．comfortable B．warm C．difficult D．changeable 3．What could happen if the chick falls onto the ice? A．Another penguin might take the chick. B．The chick might die because of the cold. C．The ice might break and the chick will fall into the water. D．The chick might go back to the ocean to find food. 4．Fill in the blank to complete the last sentence. “In a few more years, it will also ________, continuing the cycle of life.” A．live in small groups B．find food to support himself C．leave for warmer places D．start a new family of its own 5．Choose the subheading for each paragraph. A．(1) c (2) a (3) b (4) d B．(1) a (2) d (3) c (4) b C．(1) a (2) d (3) b (4) c D．(1) a (2) b (3) d (4) c Around the world, many kinds of wild animals are in danger of extinction (灭绝) because they have no places to live in or have no more food to eat. Endangered wild animals live all over the world and you may even find some in your hometown. Here are some helpful ways for saving endangered animals. Find out what animals are in danger. Spend some time learning about these animals and what their favourite places are. Do something for nature reserves (自然保护区). Nature reserves are good places to help save endangered animals. You can give some money to nature reserves or spend your time helping the nature reserves to save endangered animals. Never buy things made of endangered animals. Don’t harm endangered animals or do something terrible to their living places. We should try our best to save them and their living places. Join an endangered animal protection organization (保护组织). You can save animals through these organizations by planting more trees and calling for more people to save animals. If everyone works hard to save endangered animals, we’ll get a more beautiful world. Let’s take action from now on! 1．How many ways are there to save endangered animals? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 2．What can people do in nature reserves? A．Take photos with endangered animals. B．Buy things made of endangered animals. C．Give some money or help do some things. D．Learn about animals and their favourite places. 3．What does the underlined word “terrible” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Bad. B．Funny. C．Nice. D．Special. 4．How can people save animals through animal protection organizations? A．By eating meat from endangered animals. B．By planting fewer trees. C．By knowing what animals are in danger. D．By calling for more people. 5．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 6．Which can be the best title of the passage? A．Wild Animals B．Nature Reserves C．Endangered Animals D．Protecting Endangered Animals The Yangtze River dolphin is one of the most endangered animals on Earth. You can only find the dolphins in the Yangtze River in China. They are so rare that they are often called the Giant (巨大的) Panda under water. They like to live in groups and can grow up to 2.5 metres long. Along the Yangtze River, there were many fishing villages in the past. And overfishing put these dolphins in great danger. What a pity! Toucans are colourful birds with big beaks (鸟喙). They live in rainforests in Central and South America. They are endangered because people keep cutting down trees. They have no place to live. What’s more, people are catching them as pets. The island of Madagascar is home to aye-ayes (指猴). They are dark brown or black and have very large eyes. Aye-eyes spend their lives in trees and don’t come down. People in Madagascar think the aye-aye is a symbol of bad luck. So they often kill aye-ayes when they see them. There are only a few thousand aye-eyes left. 1．The underlined word “rare” probably means “______”. A．unusual B．lovely C．small D．fat 2．Which of the following is TRUE about the Yangtze River dolphins? A．They look like giant pandas. B．They only live in the Yangtze River. C．They like to swim alone in the river. D．They can grow up to 5 metres long. 3．Toucans mainly live in rainforests in ______. A．Australia B．China C．Central and South America D．South Africa 4．Why are toucans endangered? ①They have no fish to eat.        ②They are losing their homes. ③People catch them as pets.        ④People are killing them for food. A．①② B．①②③ C．②③ D．①②③④ 5．People in Madagascar think that aye-ayes can ______. A．help them catch fish B．be their great pets C．bring them much fun D．bring them bad luck Koalas are often called koala bears, but they are not bears. They have small eyes, a big nose and round ears. And they have no tails. They can run as fast as a rabbit. They can also climb trees very well. Koalas live in eucalyptus trees (桉树) and feed on the tree leaves. They usually sleep for about 20 hours a day. The word “koala” means “no drink” because they don’t drink water very often. They get all the water they need from the yummy leaves they eat. A koala mum usually has one baby at a time. When the baby is born, it is only 2 cm long. It has no hair, no ears, and can’t see anything. It lives in its mum’s pouch (育儿袋) ,and stays there for about 6 months. That’s when it starts to see and grows ears and hair. After 8 to 9 months, it’s too big to get into the pouch, so it spends all its time on its mother’s back. At about 12 months, it leaves its mum to build its home. Usually, a koala can live for 16 years. Now koalas are in great danger. Their numbers are dropping every year. A group called Bangalow Koalas started in 2019 to help save them. They’ve planted over 336,000 eucalyptus trees, and they want to plant 500,000 more by 2027. A worker of the group said, “We love the cute animals. We’ll do everything to save them.” In fact, it’s everyone’s duty to save them. 1．Which of the following is the fact about koala bears? A．They are real bears. B．Their tails are quite short. C．They drink a lot of water. D．They are good at climbing. 2．How long does it take a new-born koala to see the world? A．About 16 years. B．About 12 months. C．About 8 to 9 months. D．About half a year. 3．Which picture describes a 10-month-old koala? A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the meaning of the underlined (画线的) word “dropping”? A．Going down. B．Keeping the same. C．Becoming zero. D．Keeping growing. 5．What may the writer talk about after the last paragraph? A．Koalas’ important living habits. B．Some ways for us to save koalas. C．What will the Bangalow Koalas group do next year. D．What other animals live in eucalyptus forests. Scientists in Tanzania have trained rats to identify wildlife products being smuggled (走私) out of the country. The rats have learned to recognize the smell of these products and can point them out. The program is still being tested. It’s really hard to stop the smuggling of wildlife products because smugglers are clever at hiding what they transport. Products can be hidden in secret places or covered with strong smells like coffee. Many of the countries where these animal products come from are so poor that they don’t have enough methods to catch smugglers. The organization APOPO started the program. It believes that African giant pouched rats* might offer help. They’re the world’s largest rats, up to one metre long and weighing about 1.4 kilograms. They have a strong sense of smell and have been used before to sense diseases and help search for people after earthquakes. Trainers use food as a reward. First, rats learn to put their noses into holes. Then, they are taught to notice certain smells and pay no attention to other smells. While working, the rats wear special vests (背心). If they find something, they pull a ball to make a sound and let their trainers know. In the past tests, eight rats successfully learned to identify smuggled animal products among 146 different smells. They could remember these smells for several months. Last year, during a test in Dar es Salaam, the rats found over 83% of the smuggled products, even when people tried to cover up their smells. These skilled rats will become important helpers in stopping the smuggling of wildlife products, helping protect endangered animals. * African giant pouched rats非洲巨颊囊鼠 1．What makes it difficult to stop the smuggling of wildlife products? ①There is a great need for wildlife products. ②Countries can’t work together on the problem. ③Smugglers can hide the products very well. ④Some countries lack enough money to stop smugglers.

Unlike most birds, female plains wanderers are larger and stronger than males. Females take the lead in protecting their nests and babies from animals like foxes, while males often sit on the eggs to keep them warm. These birds are hard to find because their feathers blend into the grass, making them look like part of the landscape. Sadly, their numbers have been dropping because people are taking over their grassland homes for farms and cities. To save them, scientists are using AI. The key is the birds’ calls. Mother wanderers make soft sounds to talk to their chicks and warn about danger. These calls are quiet and easy to miss, but AI can hear them clearly. Scientists put microphones in the grasslands to record sounds all day and night. Then they put these recordings into a computer program. The AI learns to tell the wanderers’ calls apart from other noises, like the wind blowing or insects chirping. This helps scientists find where the mother birds are and how many chicks they have. “AI helps us monitor these birds without bothering them,” says Dr. Lee, who leads the project. “We can find the most important areas for them and work to protect those places.” Once, the AI helped scientists find a hidden nest with three baby birds. Without AI, they might not have found it. Thanks to this technology, there is new hope for these rare birds, showing that AI can ______. 1．What is the special difference between plains wanderers and most birds? 2．What is the main reason for the drop in the number of plains wanderers? 3．How does AI help scientists locate mother wanderers and their chicks? 4．With the help of AI, what can scientists do for plains wanderers? 5．Complete the sentence in the last paragraph with proper words. 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Koalas are seen as national symbols of Australia. However, recently the Australian government has announced (宣布) that koalas are endangered animals across much of the country. In fact, the country lost 30% of its koala population between 2018 and 2021. If nothing was done, New South Wales’s koalas would die out by 2050, a report in June 2020 said. “This must be a wake-up call (警钟) to Australia and the government to move much faster to protect the cute animals,” Josey Sharrad said seriously. Koalas are dying out all over the country because of the climate change and the fast development of cities. People have seen some places that look like the moon—with dead and dying trees everywhere. After WWF-Australia called on the government to announce koalas as endangered in April, the government promised they would get more public support (支持) and protect koalas’ home in the forests and woodlands. The Australian government is now doing its best to collect money to protect koalas. On the one hand, it has spent $13 million in helping improve their living places. On the other hand, the government plans to spend another $36 million on better health research and medical support to further help koala programs over the next four years. “We should never allow things to get to the point where we are at the risk of losing a national symbol,” Environment Minister Susan Ley said. 1．Are koalas endangered animals in Australia now? 2．What did the report in June 2020 say about koalas in New South Wales? 3．Why are koalas dying out in Australia? 4．What did WWF-Australia ask the government to do in April? 5．How much money has the government spent to improve koalas’ living places? 五、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。 In February, there was a video about Asian elephants in Yunnan, in which two 1 (elephant) were fighting for food.

That means there are nearly 2.5 million ants for every human. How did they count such a big number? In the past, many scientists 2 (count) ants in different places. They picked up fallen 3 (leaf) and earth and dried them to make the ants come out for counting. With the help of 465 studies that cover all continents, the new research made the guess about the number of ants. Wang Runxi, one of the writers, said that the number of ants and where they live can 4 (show) how the environment is changing. “Ants play 5 important role in nature,” Wang told Science and Technology Daily. “They help make the soil 6 (soft) than before, spread seeds, break down dead things and form a part of the food chain. They live in many places, 7 not where it’s too cold.” “Compared 8 big animals, small ants can feel changes in the environment much more easily,” Wang added. Most ants live in tropical (热带) and subtropical (亚热带) places. But in the last few years, ants have been moving towards the two poles because of global warming. “Changes in forests, such as cutting down too many trees, are going 9 (change) the number of ants.” the study showed. “Our map of ants helps us see how ants will act in the future when the world around 10 (they) changes,” the scientists wrote. 六、书面表达 1．宠物是我们身边最亲近的动物朋友，它们让家更温暖，让日子更有趣。2025 年，电子杂志《青年志》对热门宠物及人们选择它们的原因进行了调查，结果如下。 热门宠物 选择原因 猫 爱干净，安静，…… 狗 忠诚 (loyal)，充满活力，…… 鱼 观赏性强，象征好运，…… 龟 (turtle) 寿命长，象征财富 (wealth)，…… 仓鼠 (hamster) 省空间 (space-saving)，解压，…… 你是 "养宠人" 吗？如果让你从表格中选择一种动物作为宠物，你会选什么？请你根据以下提示写一篇短文。 内容要点： 1. 你会选择哪种动物作为宠物？ 2. 你为什么选择它？(需列出三个理由，用到表格中的原因，并补充一个自己的想法) 3. 如果养了它，你和它的日常生活会是怎样的？ 要求： 1. 词数 60-100； 2. 语言表达准确，条理清楚； 3. 文中不得出现真实的人名和校名。 My Top Choice for a Pet ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1．Please write a short passage of at least 60 words on the topic “The ways to protect animals”.（请以“保护动物的方式”为题写一篇不少于60词的短文） __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 Wild animals单元话题练 （语法选择+阅读+完形+选词填空+写作） 一、语法选择 In the animal world, fathers have some special ways of helping their young.

(选择正确答案) Elephants are among the most intelligent animals on Earth. They have an amazing communication system that scientists are just beginning to understand. Elephants can produce sounds 1 low for human ears to hear. This infrasound can travel over 10 kilometers, allowing distant elephants to “talk” to each other. When danger 2 , older elephants will warn the herd by making special rumbling sounds. Baby elephants learn these important calls from their mothers and aunts. The whole herd 3 together to protect the young. Besides sounds, elephants use body language to communicate. A happy elephant will flap its ears and wag its tail. An angry elephant may trumpet loudly and 4 its ears out to look bigger. Sadly, elephant populations are declining due to habitat loss and poaching. Conservationists are working hard to 5 these magnificent creatures.

It is largely the result of overfishing, driven by demand for its meat and fins. By 2020, Raja Ampat’s zebra shark population had dropped to about 20. “ 1 a reintroduction programme, there are simply not enough zebra sharks left in Raja Ampat to recover on their own”, said Nesha Ichida, an Indonesian marine scientist. ReShark’s first project, called STAR, broke new ground (or water) in 2023. On a January day, Nesha carefully supported a 15-week-old zebra shark named Charlie—the first zebra shark to be 2 in the waters of Raja Ampat. “Everyone involved in the STAR project had been working towards that moment for three years, so we were all incredibly proud,” says Nesha. Reintroducing species to oceans is far more challenging than reintroducing them on land. Not only are reintroduced animals harder to track underwater, but threats to their existence are also more 3 to manage. After all, reintroducing sharks is pointless if they are going to face the danger that caused their original disappearance. Across the world, sharks of all species are being killed faster than aquariums could ever replace them. On top of this, sharks 4 relatively slowly, take many years to mature and produce few young. This means efforts to protect wild sharks are critical. 5 , giving wild shark populations a helping hand through rewilding could prove hugely beneficial. Moving beyond zebra sharks, the ReShark team is currently looking at other shark species and other 6 — from angel sharks in the Canary Islands and off the coast of Wales, to nurse sharks in East Africa. “The STAR project has opened the door to new possibilities,” says Erin Meyer, chairman of the STAR project steering committee. “Considering nearly 400 species of sharks and rays are threatened with extinction, the need to add ocean ‘resharking’ is clear and urgent.” 1．A．By B．Without C．With D．Under 2．A．caught B．cured C．released D．sold 3．A．convenient B．dangerous C．important D．difficult 4．A．grow B．escape C．swim D．eat 5．A．Besides B．Luckily C．Nevertheless D．Actually 6．A．animals B．locations C．threats D．projects 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．C 6．B 【导语】本文通过引用专家观点和具体事例，说明了斑马鲨的濒危现状、保护措施以及海洋物种重引入的挑战。 1．句意：如果没有重新引入计划，拉贾安帕特剩下的斑马鲨根本无法自行恢复。 By通过；Without没有；With随着；Under在……之下。根据上文“By 2020, Raja Ampat’s zebra shark population had dropped to about 20.”可知，拉贾安帕特的斑马鲨数量已经很少了，所以此处是指如果没有重新引入计划，靠它们自己无法恢复种群数量，应用介词“without”。故选B。 2．句意：1月的一天，内莎小心翼翼地将一只15周大的斑马鲨查理——第一只被放归拉贾安帕特水域的斑马鲨——放入水中。 caught捕捉；cured治愈；released释放，放走；sold出售。根据前文提到的重新引入计划以及 “in the waters of Raja Ampat”可知，此处是指将斑马鲨放归到拉贾安帕特的水域中。故选C。 3．句意：不仅重新引入的动物在水下更难追踪，而且对它们生存的威胁也更难控制。 convenient方便的；dangerous危险的；important重要的；difficult困难的。根据“Reintroducing species to oceans is far more challenging than reintroducing them on land.”可知，此处是指在海洋中重新引入物种更具挑战性，威胁也更难控制。故选D。 4．句意：最重要的是，鲨鱼生长相对缓慢，需要很多年才能成熟，而且繁殖的幼鲨很少。 grow生长；escape逃脱；swim游泳；eat吃。根据下文“take many years to mature and produce few young”可知，需要很多年才能成熟，很少生育后代，所以此处是指鲨鱼生长相对缓慢。故选A。 5．句意：然而，通过重新放归野生来帮助野生鲨鱼种群可能是非常有益的。 Besides此外；Luckily幸运的是；Nevertheless然而；Actually实际上。根据语境可知，前文说保护野生鲨鱼的努力至关重要，后文说通过重新放归野生鲨鱼种群可能非常有益，前后是转折关系，应用“nevertheless”。故选C。 6．句意：除了斑马鲨，重新引入鲨鱼团队目前正在研究其他鲨鱼物种和其他地点——从加那利群岛和威尔士海岸的天使鲨，到东非的护士鲨。 animals动物；locations地点；threats威胁；projects项目。根据下文“from angel sharks in the Canary Islands and off the coast of Wales, to nurse sharks in East Africa”可知，从加那利群岛和威尔士海岸的天使鲨，到东非的护士鲨，所以此处是指其他的地点。故选B。 三、阅读理解 Emperor penguins are the largest penguins on Earth, with adults reaching over a metre tall and weighing up to 45 kilograms. However, raising a chick is still a challenging task for these large birds. It requires great efforts from both parents to successfully raise a baby penguin. 1) ________ For many months each year, emperor penguins live near the sea in large groups. However, when the weather gets colder in May, ice begins to cover large areas of the ocean. Each group then moves many kilometres away from the water. There, each mother penguin lays just a single egg. 2) ________ Soon after laying the egg, all the hungry mothers walk back to the ocean to hunt for food. The father penguins take on the responsibility of keeping the eggs warm by placing them on top of their feet. They also cover the eggs with a special piece of skin called the brood pouch. For two months, the father penguins protect the eggs no matter how harsh the weather conditions are, and never give up. By July, it is winter in Antarctica. While most other animals leave for warmer places, the father penguins stay still in windy weather. 3) ________ By August, each mother penguin returns just in time to see her baby hatch (孵出). “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 safely 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 ever-hungry chick. With their efforts, the chick grows rapidly. 4) ________ By December, as winter ends, the chick is ready to survive independently. Soon it enters the water for the first time, where it will swim and hunt for food until next April. In a few more years, it will also ________, continuing the cycle of life. 1．The penguins’ brood pouches are used to ________. A．keep the eggs and baby penguins warm B．bring food back from the sea C．carry the eggs when the penguins move D．hunt for food 2．The underlined word “harsh” most probably means ________. A．comfortable B．warm C．difficult D．changeable 3．What could happen if the chick falls onto the ice? A．Another penguin might take the chick. B．The chick might die because of the cold. C．The ice might break and the chick will fall into the water. D．The chick might go back to the ocean to find food. 4．Fill in the blank to complete the last sentence. “In a few more years, it will also ________, continuing the cycle of life.” A．live in small groups B．find food to support himself C．leave for warmer places D．start a new family of its own 5．Choose the subheading for each paragraph. A．(1) c (2) a (3) b (4) d B．(1) a (2) d (3) c (4) b C．(1) a (2) d (3) b (4) c D．(1) a (2) b (3) d (4) c 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了帝企鹅从产卵、孵化到幼崽成长独立的完整繁殖过程，展现了帝企鹅父母为养育后代付出的巨大努力。 1．第三段说明：“They also cover the eggs with a special piece of skin called the brood pouch.”以及第四段提到将幼崽移到育儿袋中，直接说明育儿袋的作用是给蛋和幼崽保暖。 2．第三段指出：“the father penguins protect the eggs no matter how harsh the weather conditions are, and never give up. By July, it is winter in Antarctica. While most other animals leave for warmer places, the father penguins stay still in windy weather.”结合南极冬季多风、寒冷的环境，“harsh”意为“恶劣的、艰难的”。 3．第五段说明：“If the chick falls, it can freeze quickly.”直接说明幼崽掉在冰上会因寒冷死亡。 4．最后一段提到：“continuing the cycle of life”，结合前文帝企鹅父母养育幼崽的过程，可知幼崽长大后会组建自己的新家庭，延续生命循环。 5．第二段描述帝企鹅迁徙产卵的过程：“There, each mother penguin lays just a single egg.”，这对应小标题a. New life，所以(1)对应 a；第三段讲述雄企鹅承担孵蛋的责任：“The father penguins take on the responsibility of keeping the eggs warm…no matter how harsh the weather conditions are, and never give up.”，这对应小标题d. Responsible fathers，所以(2)对应d；第四段和第五段描述企鹅父母轮流觅食、幼崽快速成长的过程：“Over the next few months, penguin parents take turns going to the ocean for food…With their efforts, the chick grows rapidly.”，这对应小标题b. Growing up，所以(3)对应b； 最后一段提到幼崽独立下水、开始捕猎：“Soon it enters the water for the first time, where it will swim and hunt for food until next April.”，这对应小标题c. Into the water（进入水中），所以(4)对应c。 综上，答案为(1) a (2) d (3) b (4) c。 Around the world, many kinds of wild animals are in danger of extinction (灭绝) because they have no places to live in or have no more food to eat.

You can only find the dolphins in the Yangtze River in China. They are so rare that they are often called the Giant (巨大的) Panda under water. They like to live in groups and can grow up to 2.5 metres long. Along the Yangtze River, there were many fishing villages in the past. And overfishing put these dolphins in great danger. What a pity! Toucans are colourful birds with big beaks (鸟喙). They live in rainforests in Central and South America. They are endangered because people keep cutting down trees. They have no place to live. What’s more, people are catching them as pets. The island of Madagascar is home to aye-ayes (指猴). They are dark brown or black and have very large eyes. Aye-eyes spend their lives in trees and don’t come down. People in Madagascar think the aye-aye is a symbol of bad luck. So they often kill aye-ayes when they see them. There are only a few thousand aye-eyes left. 1．The underlined word “rare” probably means “______”. A．unusual B．lovely C．small D．fat 2．Which of the following is TRUE about the Yangtze River dolphins?

What’s more, people are catching them as pets.”可知巨嘴鸟是濒危动物是因为人们一直砍树，它们失去了生存的地方，以及人们捕获它们当宠物养。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据“People in Madagascar think the aye-aye is a symbol of bad luck.”可知马达加斯加的人们认为指猴会带来厄运。故选D。 Koalas are often called koala bears, but they are not bears. They have small eyes, a big nose and round ears. And they have no tails. They can run as fast as a rabbit. They can also climb trees very well. Koalas live in eucalyptus trees (桉树) and feed on the tree leaves. They usually sleep for about 20 hours a day. The word “koala” means “no drink” because they don’t drink water very often. They get all the water they need from the yummy leaves they eat. A koala mum usually has one baby at a time. When the baby is born, it is only 2 cm long. It has no hair, no ears, and can’t see anything. It lives in its mum’s pouch (育儿袋) ,and stays there for about 6 months. That’s when it starts to see and grows ears and hair. After 8 to 9 months, it’s too big to get into the pouch, so it spends all its time on its mother’s back. At about 12 months, it leaves its mum to build its home. Usually, a koala can live for 16 years. Now koalas are in great danger. Their numbers are dropping every year. A group called Bangalow Koalas started in 2019 to help save them. They’ve planted over 336,000 eucalyptus trees, and they want to plant 500,000 more by 2027. A worker of the group said, “We love the cute animals. We’ll do everything to save them.” In fact, it’s everyone’s duty to save them. 1．Which of the following is the fact about koala bears? A．They are real bears. B．Their tails are quite short.

D．What other animals live in eucalyptus forests. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了考拉的信息以及现状，呼吁人们拯救它们。 1．根据第一段中的“They can also climb trees very well.”可知，考拉擅长攀爬。 2．根据第二段中的“It lives in its mum’s pouch (育儿袋) , and stays there for about 6 months. That’s when it starts to see and grows ears and hair.”可知，它们要花费6个月时间才能看到事物。 3．根据第二段中的“After 8 to 9 months, it grows bigger and it’s hard to get into the pouch, so it spends all its time on its mother’s back.At about 12 months, it leaves its mum to build its home.”可知，8到9个月后，考拉宝宝会在妈妈的背上，12个月后，它离开妈妈去建自己的房子，所以可推知，10个月大的考拉是在妈妈的背上。结合选项可推知，C项符合。 4．根据“Now koalas are in great danger. The number of them is dropping every year.”可知，现在考拉正处于极大的危险之中，它们的数量应该是每年都在下降，所以划线部分的含义是“下降”。 5．根据“In fact, it’s everyone’s duty to save them.”并通读最后一段可知，本段主要讲述了考拉正处于极大的危险之中，以及一个组织拯救考拉的现状，所以可推知，接下来作者最有可能谈论拯救考拉的方式。 Scientists in Tanzania have trained rats to identify wildlife products being smuggled (走私) out of the country. The rats have learned to recognize the smell of these products and can point them out. The program is still being tested. It’s really hard to stop the smuggling of wildlife products because smugglers are clever at hiding what they transport. Products can be hidden in secret places or covered with strong smells like coffee. Many of the countries where these animal products come from are so poor that they don’t have enough methods to catch smugglers. The organization APOPO started the program. It believes that African giant pouched rats* might offer help. They’re the world’s largest rats, up to one metre long and weighing about 1.4 kilograms. They have a strong sense of smell and have been used before to sense diseases and help search for people after earthquakes. Trainers use food as a reward. First, rats learn to put their noses into holes. Then, they are taught to notice certain smells and pay no attention to other smells. While working, the rats wear special vests (背心). If they find something, they pull a ball to make a sound and let their trainers know. In the past tests, eight rats successfully learned to identify smuggled animal products among 146 different smells. They could remember these smells for several months. Last year, during a test in Dar es Salaam, the rats found over 83% of the smuggled products, even when people tried to cover up their smells. These skilled rats will become important helpers in stopping the smuggling of wildlife products, helping protect endangered animals. * African giant pouched rats非洲巨颊囊鼠 1．What makes it difficult to stop the smuggling of wildlife products? ①There is a great need for wildlife products. ②Countries can’t work together on the problem. ③Smugglers can hide the products very well. ④Some countries lack enough money to stop smugglers.

First... Then...”，这段话按步骤说明训练师如何通过奖励，教老鼠识别特定气味、忽略其他气味并发出发现信号，核心是训练方法。 4．第五段说明：“Last year, during a test in Dar es Salaam, the rats found over 83% of the smuggled products, even when people tried to cover up their smells”，用具体测试数据，说明老鼠能很好地完成识别走私品的工作。 5．通读全文可知，第一段点明科学家训练老鼠识别走私野生动物制品，后文依次介绍背景、原因、训练方法、测试效果及意义，核心是这种新的识别方法。 四、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题，并将答案写到答题卡的相应位置。 Plains wanderers（领鹑）are small, rare birds that live in grasslands. Unlike most birds, female plains wanderers are larger and stronger than males. Females take the lead in protecting their nests and babies from animals like foxes, while males often sit on the eggs to keep them warm. These birds are hard to find because their feathers blend into the grass, making them look like part of the landscape. Sadly, their numbers have been dropping because people are taking over their grassland homes for farms and cities. To save them, scientists are using AI. The key is the birds’ calls. Mother wanderers make soft sounds to talk to their chicks and warn about danger. These calls are quiet and easy to miss, but AI can hear them clearly. Scientists put microphones in the grasslands to record sounds all day and night. Then they put these recordings into a computer program. The AI learns to tell the wanderers’ calls apart from other noises, like the wind blowing or insects chirping. This helps scientists find where the mother birds are and how many chicks they have. “AI helps us monitor these birds without bothering them,” says Dr. Lee, who leads the project. “We can find the most important areas for them and work to protect those places.” Once, the AI helped scientists find a hidden nest with three baby birds. Without AI, they might not have found it. Thanks to this technology, there is new hope for these rare birds, showing that AI can ______. 1．What is the special difference between plains wanderers and most birds? 2．What is the main reason for the drop in the number of plains wanderers? 3．How does AI help scientists locate mother wanderers and their chicks? 4．With the help of AI, what can scientists do for plains wanderers? 5．Complete the sentence in the last paragraph with proper words. 【答案】1．Female plains wanderers are larger and stronger than males. 2．People are taking over their grassland homes for farms and cities. 3．AI can clearly hear the birds’ quiet calls and tell them apart from other noises. 4．They can find the most important areas for the birds and work to protect those places. 5．be a powerful tool in saving wildlife./help humans protect the birds in an effective way. 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家利用AI技术监测和保护濒危鸟类—平原游鹑的方法与成效。 1．第一段明确指出：“Unlike most birds, female plains wanderers are larger and stronger than males”，直接点明了平原游鹑与大多数鸟类的特殊区别，因此答案是原文直接信息。 2．第一段提到：“Sadly, their numbers have been dropping because people are taking over their grassland homes for farms and cities”，说明了平原游鹑数量减少的主要原因，这是原文中的信息，直接提取 。 3．第二段说明AI的工作原理：“These calls are quiet and easy to miss, but AI can hear them clearly... The AI learns to tell the wanderers' calls apart from other noises”，这正是AI帮助科学家定位亲鸟和雏鸟的方式，答案几乎是原文引述。 4．第三段引用项目负责人Dr. Lee的话：“We can find the most important areas for them and work to protect those places”，说明了科学家借助AI可以开展的保护工作，答案是原文直接信息。 5．本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，但需结合全文内容和AI在保护濒危鸟类中的作用合理作答。AI能够通过识别鸟鸣帮助科学家监测、定位并保护平原游鹑，体现了其在野生动物保护中的价值。 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Koalas are seen as national symbols of Australia. However, recently the Australian government has announced (宣布) that koalas are endangered animals across much of the country. In fact, the country lost 30% of its koala population between 2018 and 2021. If nothing was done, New South Wales’s koalas would die out by 2050, a report in June 2020 said. “This must be a wake-up call (警钟) to Australia and the government to move much faster to protect the cute animals,” Josey Sharrad said seriously. Koalas are dying out all over the country because of the climate change and the fast development of cities. People have seen some places that look like the moon—with dead and dying trees everywhere. After WWF-Australia called on the government to announce koalas as endangered in April, the government promised they would get more public support (支持) and protect koalas’ home in the forests and woodlands. The Australian government is now doing its best to collect money to protect koalas. On the one hand, it has spent $13 million in helping improve their living places. On the other hand, the government plans to spend another $36 million on better health research and medical support to further help koala programs over the next four years. “We should never allow things to get to the point where we are at the risk of losing a national symbol,” Environment Minister Susan Ley said. 1．Are koalas endangered animals in Australia now? 2．What did the report in June 2020 say about koalas in New South Wales? 3．Why are koalas dying out in Australia? 4．What did WWF-Australia ask the government to do in April? 5．How much money has the government spent to improve koalas’ living places? 【答案】1．Yes, they are. 2．If nothing was done, koalas in New South Wales would die out by 2050. 3．Because of climate change and the fast development of cities. 4．WWF-Australia/It asked the government to announce koalas as endangered animals. 5．$13 million. 【导语】本文主要介绍了考拉在澳大利亚面临濒危的状况、濒危原因以及澳大利亚政府为保护考拉所采取的措施。 1．第一段明确提到“However, recently the Australian government has announced (宣布) that koalas are endangered animals across much of the country.”，可知考拉现在在澳大利亚是濒危动物，所以答案是肯定的。 2．第二段“If nothing was done, New South Wales’ koalas would die out by 2050, a report in June 2020 said.”是2020年6月的报告的内容，直接提取答案。 3．从第三段“Koalas are dying out all over the country because of the climate change and the fast development of cities.”指出考拉在澳大利亚灭绝的原因，直接提取答案。 4．由第四段“After WWF-Australia called on the government to announce koalas as endangered in April”表明世界自然基金会澳大利亚分会在4月呼吁政府宣布考拉为濒危动物。 5．依据第五段“On the one hand, it has spent $13 million in helping improve their living places.”政府已经花费了1300万美元来改善考拉的生活场所，直接提取答案。 五、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。 In February, there was a video about Asian elephants in Yunnan, in which two 1 (elephant) were fighting for food.

Scientists in Hong Kong say there 1 about 20,000,000,000,000,000 ants! That means there are nearly 2.5 million ants for every human. How did they count such a big number? In the past, many scientists 2 (count) ants in different places. They picked up fallen 3 (leaf) and earth and dried them to make the ants come out for counting. With the help of 465 studies that cover all continents, the new research made the guess about the number of ants. Wang Runxi, one of the writers, said that the number of ants and where they live can 4 (show) how the environment is changing. “Ants play 5 important role in nature,” Wang told Science and Technology Daily. “They help make the soil 6 (soft) than before, spread seeds, break down dead things and form a part of the food chain. They live in many places, 7 not where it’s too cold.” “Compared 8 big animals, small ants can feel changes in the environment much more easily,” Wang added. Most ants live in tropical (热带) and subtropical (亚热带) places. But in the last few years, ants have been moving towards the two poles because of global warming. “Changes in forests, such as cutting down too many trees, are going 9 (change) the number of ants.” the study showed. “Our map of ants helps us see how ants will act in the future when the world around 10 (they) changes,” the scientists wrote. 【答案】 1．are 2．counted 3．leaves 4．show 5．an 6．softer 7．but 8．with 9．to change 10．them 【导语】本文主要介绍了地球上蚂蚁惊人的数量、科学家统计蚂蚁数量的方法以及蚂蚁在自然界中通过改良土壤和传递环境信息所起到的重要作用。 1．句意：香港的科学家说，大约有20,000,000,000,000,000只蚂蚁！there be句型中主语为复数“ants”，且此处在陈述一个事实，故用一般现在时，应用be动词are。 2．句意：在过去，许多科学家在不同的地方数过蚂蚁。句子开头的“In the past”表明动作发生在过去，时态是一般过去时，故需用动词count的过去式counted。 3．句意：他们捡起落叶和泥土，并将它们烘干以让蚂蚁出来以便计数。空处应使用名词复数形式表示泛指，leaf的复数形式为leaves。 4．句意：作者之一王润熙说，蚂蚁的数量以及它们生活的地点可以显示环境是如何变化的。情态动词can后需接动词原形。 5．句意： “蚂蚁在自然界中扮演着重要的角色。”王润熙告诉《科技日报》。固定搭配play an important role in…意为“在……中起重要作用”，形容词important以元音音素开头，故需用不定冠词an。 6．句意： 它们帮助土壤变得比以前更松软，传播种子，分解腐烂的物质，并且成为食物链的一部分。 句中的标志词“than”表明此处用比较级，故需用形容词soft的比较级形式softer。 7．句意：它们生活在许多地方，但不在太冷的地方。”此处表示转折逻辑关系，说明蚂蚁虽然分布广，但不包括严寒地带，故填连词but。 8．句意： “与大型动物相比，小蚂蚁能更容易地感觉到环境的变化。”王润熙补充道。固定结构compared with…意为“与……相比”。 9．句意： “森林中的变化，比如砍伐太多的树木，将会改变蚂蚁的数量。”研究显示。固定结构be going to do sth.表示“将要发生某事”，change的不定式形式是to change。 10．句意：“我们的蚂蚁地图帮助我们了解，当它们周围的世界发生变化时，蚂蚁在未来将如何行动。”科学家们写道。介词around后需接人称代词的宾格形式作其宾语，they的宾格形式是them。 六、书面表达 1．宠物是我们身边最亲近的动物朋友，它们让家更温暖，让日子更有趣。2025 年，电子杂志《青年志》对热门宠物及人们选择它们的原因进行了调查，结果如下。 热门宠物 选择原因 猫 爱干净，安静，…… 狗 忠诚 (loyal)，充满活力，…… 鱼 观赏性强，象征好运，…… 龟 (turtle) 寿命长，象征财富 (wealth)，…… 仓鼠 (hamster) 省空间 (space-saving)，解压，…… 你是 "养宠人" 吗？如果让你从表格中选择一种动物作为宠物，你会选什么？请你根据以下提示写一篇短文。 内容要点： 1. 你会选择哪种动物作为宠物？ 2. 你为什么选择它？(需列出三个理由，用到表格中的原因，并补充一个自己的想法) 3. 如果养了它，你和它的日常生活会是怎样的？ 要求： 1. 词数 60-100； 2. 语言表达准确，条理清楚； 3. 文中不得出现真实的人名和校名。 My Top Choice for a Pet ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 例文 My Top Choice for a Pet My top choice for a pet is a dog.
