Ⅰ.阅读理解(本题共8个小题,每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
Walking home from school, I am enjoying my day.Each day I stop to hear music coming from the ivy (常春藤).Sparrow (麻雀) song, a loud glorious sound.The ivy is pulsing below a leafless tree, decorating around the lower trunk like a celebration.Nervous flittings, in and out, pecking at the branches.This ivy is a home for them, harboring an entire flock.But this scene is no longer ubiquitous.Numbers have declined by almost 70% in the UK since 1970.Sparrows make their homes near human places and finding a tree like this is a blessing.Happily, the ivy is still full of chatter and twitter.
In Greek mythology, sparrows are sacred and often associated with the goddess Aphrodite, symbolizing true love and spiritual connection.I wonder how many people look at sparrows and feel that depth of connection.All birds live brightly in our imagination, connecting us to the natural world, opening up all kinds of creativity.
As I stand there, fluffedup sparrows in conversation among themselves, there is a spark.Noticing nature is the start of it all.Slow down to listen, to watch.Take the time, despite mountains of homework.
Take the time to observe nature, to immerse oneself in its patterns, structures, happenings and rhythms.It is how mathematicians and scientists are nurtured.Alan Turing studied the patterns in nature:the arrangement of petals on the flower, spots on a leopard and stripes on a zebra.He was looking for a mathematical formula (公式) for the development of cells in living things.Nature sparks creativity.All we have to do is start with the question, why? The way my mind whirrs and whirls in nature, or even when“daydreaming” is way more productive than the work I do in school.
I consolidate myself by thinking and thinking while intensely watching the movements of sparrows.Who knows where watching sparrows will lead?
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者放学回家路上观察麻雀的经历。
1.What do I do on the way home from school?
A.Listen to pop music.
B.Decorate the tree.
C.Clean up the trunk.
D.Observe the sparrows.
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Each day I stop to hear music coming from the ivy (常春藤)...in and out, pecking at the branches.”可知,作者在放学回家的路上会观察麻雀。故选D项。
√
2.What does the underlined word“ubiquitous”in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Unusual. B.Delightful.
C.Common. D.Horrible.
词义猜测题。根据第一段中“This ivy is a home for them, harboring an entire flock.”以及“Numbers have declined by almost 70% in the UK since 1970.Sparrows make their homes near human places and finding a tree like this is a blessing.”可知,此处为这种场景已不再随处可见。故可猜测画线单词ubiquitous为“随处可见的”的意思,和C选项Common“常见的”意思一致。故选C项。
√
3.What is the author's purpose in mentioning Greek mythology?
A.To show the imagination of humans.
B.To stress the significance of sparrows.
C.To introduce the power of Aphrodite.
D.To demonstrate the diversity of species.
推理判断题。根据第二段“In Greek mythology...connecting us to the natural world, opening up all kinds of creativity.”可推知,作者提到希腊神话的目的是强调麻雀的重要性。故选B项。
√
4.What can we learn from paragraph 4 of the text?
A.Nature facilitates cell development.
B.Nature follows rigid patterns.
C.Nature is a source of inspiration.
D.Nature offers companionship.
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Take the time to observe nature,...Nature sparks creativity.”可推知,我们能从第四段中了解到自然是灵感的源泉。故选C项。
√
B
North America's monarch butterfly, whose showy looks and extraordinary migration have made it one of the continent's most beloved insects, has been classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the world's most comprehensive scientific authority on the status of species.
The decision comes after decades of falling populations driven by losses in the plants they need as caterpillars and in the forests where adults spend the winter, combined with climate change, the assessment found.
“It's been so sad to watch their numbers decline so much, so anything that might help them makes me happy, and I think that this designation might help them,”said Karen Oberhauser, a conservation biologist at the University of Wisconsin who has studied monarchs for more than 35 years and contributed to the assessment.
The numbers of Western monarchs, which live west of the Rocky Mountains, plummeted by an estimated 99.9 percent between the 1980s and 2021.While they rebounded somewhat this year, they remain in great peril.In 2020, U.S.wildlife officials found that monarchs were threatened with extinction but declined to add them to the endangered species list because they said conservation of other species took priority.
Monarch caterpillars depend on milkweed (马利筋), the only plants they can eat.After leaving their overwintering grounds, which for most monarchs are concentrated in just a few hectares of forest in central Mexico, females deposit eggs on milkweed plants from Texas to as far north as Canada in a multigenerational journey.
Habitat destruction in those Mexican forests was an early threat, said Anna Walker, an entomologist (昆虫学家) with the New Mexico BioPark Society who led the assessment.The Mexican government stepped in, creating a reserve in 1986 and expanding it in 2000.While concerns remain over illegal logging (伐木) and disease, that conservation work has helped, she said, preventing the loss of overwintering habitat quite effectively.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。本文谈及北美帝王蝶减少的现象、原因及保护措施等。
5.Why is monarch butterfly declining?
A.The reduction of forests.
B.The stepin of government.
C.The lower survival rate of eggs.
D.The expansion of habitats.
细节理解题。根据文章第2段首句中的“由于毛毛虫所需的植物和成虫过冬的森林的减少(driven by losses in the plants...and in the forests),加上气候变化,导致了帝王蝶几十年的数量下降(falling populations)”可知,A项“森林数量的减少”符合题意。A项中的reduction是原文中losses的同义替换。
√
6.What is Karen's attitude towards IUCN's decision?
A.Opposed. B.Delighted.
C.Distressed. D.Surprised.
观点态度题。由关键词Karen定位到文章第3段。第3段第1句凯伦提到任何可能帮助帝王蝶的事情都能让他高兴(makes me happy),而他认为将帝王蝶列为濒危物种(this designation)能够帮助帝王蝶。由此可推论,凯伦对IUCN将帝王蝶列为濒危物种的决定感到高兴,故B项delighted“高兴的”符合题意。
√
7.Why did U.S.wildlife officials refuse to list monarchs as endangered in 2020?
A.Because the officials didn't see the value of monarch butterfly.
B.Because the officials didn't realize the threat on the butterfly.
C.Because the officials failed to perform their own duties.
D.Because the officials put more emphasis on other endangered species.
细节理解题。根据题干关键词U.S.wildlife officials可以定位到文章的第4段最后一句。句中美国野生动物官员提到这么做是因为要优先保护其他物种(conservation of other species took priority)。故D项“因为官员们更加重视其他濒危物种”符合题意。
√
8.How can we evaluate the protection made by Mexican government?
A.Hard and painful. B.Effective yet objected.
C.Committed yet sad. D.Positive and fruitful.
推理判断题。根据题干关键信息Mexican government可以定位到文章的尾段最后两句。尾段最后一句提到,尽管可能还存在非法砍伐和帝王蝶染病的问题,但保护工作(the conservation work)已经有效帮助(helped)阻止了越冬栖息地的丧失。由此可知,保护工作起到了积极作用,颇有成效,故D项“积极而有效的”符合题意。
√
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(本题共5个小题,每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
As the seasons are starting to change around the world, the animal kingdom is on the move.Animal migration is one of nature's great wonders, but how do animals know when it is time to set off on their journey, or where they need to go? Once they've worked out their destination, how do they know how to get there? 1( ).
Migration is a behavioral pattern where animals travel from one habitat to another in search of something.It happens seasonally, and usually involves a return journey.These journeys can be by land, sea or air.2( ).Animals like gazelles, wildebeests and zebras migrate in huge herds during dry seasons to look for fresh grass to eat and water to drink.
Animals also migrate because of the weather.Around 50 bird species leave the UK each winter to avoid the cold.3( ).They're either searching for a mate, looking for somewhere to lay their eggs or finding the best place to raise their young.For example, humpback whales travel to warmer waters each winter to raise their calves.
4( ), but how do they know when it is time to head off? For those who migrate to look for something to eat, scientists think shortages of food could be a sign that it's time to begin their journey.Others might be able to recognize when winter is coming because they can see that the days are getting shorter.
So how do they know where to go? Some use the stars and the sun to help them navigate while others rely on landmarks like rivers and mountains to show them where they are.5( ).Wildebeests are thought to follow the smell of rain.
A.Below are some ways they get there
B.Animals have their reasons for migrating
C.Scientists have been puzzled by these questions for many years
D.It's also possible for animals to sniff their way to their destination
E.Some birds travel to the UK to escape extreme cold further north
F.One of the main reasons behind animal migration is the search for food
G.For some animals, it's the need to reproduce that sends them on their journey
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了动物迁移这一行为相关的问题。
As the seasons are starting to change around the world, the animal kingdom is on the move.Animal migration is one of nature's great wonders, but how do animals know when it is time to set off on their journey, or where they need to go? Once they've worked out their destination, how do they know how to get there? 1( ).
根据空前“Animal migration is one of nature's great wonders, but how do animals know when it is time to set off on their journey, or where they need to go? Once they've worked out their destination, how do they know how to get there?”可知,空前提出了一系列与动物迁徙相关的问题,故C项“科学家被这些问题困扰了很多年。”符合,C项中的“these questions”指代空前提出的这几个问题,故选C项。
C.Scientists have been puzzled by these questions for many years
Migration is a behavioral pattern where animals travel from one habitat to another in search of something.It happens seasonally, and usually involves a return journey.These journeys can be by land, sea or air.2(
).Animals like gazelles, wildebeests and zebras migrate in huge herds during dry seasons to look for fresh grass to eat and water to drink.
根据空后“Animals like gazelles, wildebeests and zebras migrate in huge herds during dry seasons to look for fresh grass to eat and water to drink.”可知,空后提到了瞪羚、角马和斑马等动物在旱季成群结队地迁徙,寻找新鲜的草吃和水喝,它们迁徙的目的是为了寻找食物和水源,故F项“动物迁徙的其中一个重要的原因在于寻找食物。”符合,故选F项。
F.One of the main
reasons behind animal migration is the search for food
Animals also migrate because of the weather.Around 50 bird species leave the UK each winter to avoid the cold.3(
).They're either searching for a mate, looking for somewhere to lay their eggs or finding the best place to raise their young.For example, humpback whales travel to warmer waters each winter to raise their calves.
G.For some animals, it's the need to
reproduce that sends them on their journey
根据空后“They're either searching for a mate, looking for somewhere to lay their eggs or finding the best place to raise their young.For example, humpback whales travel to warmer waters each winter to raise their calves.”可知,空后提出它们迁徙是为了寻找配偶,或者寻找产卵的地方,或者寻找养育幼崽的最佳地点,故G项“对于一些动物,是繁殖的需求让它们踏上了旅程。”符合,繁殖的需求让一些动物踏上了旅程,它们要么是在寻找配偶,要么在寻找产卵的地方,要么寻找养育幼崽的最佳地点,故选G项。
4( ), but how do they know when it is time to head off?

根据空后“but how do they know when it is time to head off?”可知,空后提出了另外一个问题,什么时候出发,且前文一直在解释动物迁徙的原因,故B项“动物有它们迁徙的理由。”符合,承上启下,总结前文分析的原因,并引出后文迁徙的时间,故选B项。

根据空前空后句子可知,两句都提出了一些动物如何知道自己该去哪里的方法,故D项“动物也有可能通过嗅觉来到达目的地。”符合语境,即空前提出一些动物通过地标和星星、太阳来帮助自己导航,而空后则具体举例角马是靠着闻雨水的味道,故D项引出后文,通过嗅觉来导航,故选D项。
D.It's also possible for animals to sniff their way to
their destination
