UNIT 2　WILDLIFE PROTECTION Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 　　（2026·郑州质量预测）Duncan Jurman became interested in butterflies when he was around 5 years old. He noticed a couple of caterpillars （毛虫） in his backyard and was attracted by the different ways that caterpillars can disguise （伪装） themselves to stay safe in potentially dangerous surroundings. From there， he started to learn more about caterpillars and butterflies. 　　Jurman believes that butterflies play a crucial role in our ecosystems. They’re very low on the food web， so they support a lot of different species that rely on them. They’re an indicator species for the health of the environment. Once they disappear， everything else is soon to follow. 　　Jurman’s goal is to transform the landscape of Florida’s Broward County by turning a weedy suburb into a lively butterfly reserve at a time when insect populations are decreasing quickly worldwide. Jurman believes that every flower planted is a potential home and source of food for caterpillars and butterflies. He eventually developed a butterfly-friendly garden in his backyard by researching the different plants that butterflies prefer. He has already raised and released more than 5，000 butterflies from his garden. 　　Jurman also launched the Bring Butterflies Back campaign to educate people about butterflies and invite them to join his cause of protecting butterflies. He said that a lot of people are surprised to learn that insects are declining at such an alarming rate， largely because the decline has been so gradual. This phenomenon helps to explain why people are unwilling to take meaningful actions to save the environment. 　　In 2018， Jurman helped to build a butterfly garden at his high school. The garden has had a regenerative effect on the surrounding environment — birds， native lizards， and other insects have returned in great numbers. Other schools have been inspired to start gardens. “I don’t know if we can ever reach the point that we were once at with butterflies， but I think that if everyone gets involved and starts their own garden， they can make their own impact，” Jurman said. 1.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about？（　　） A.The food chain of insects. B.The competition between species. C.The potential danger to butterflies. D.The vital role of butterflies in nature. 2.Why did Jurman create a butterfly-friendly garden？（　　） A.To teach people about butterflies. B.To study butterflies’ favorite plants. C.To increase the number of butterflies. D.To improve the beauty of his backyard. 3.Which shows the phenomenon mentioned in the text？（　　） A.People’s unawareness of environmental changes. B.The impact of human activities on insect habitats. C.The rapid decline of butterfly populations worldwide. D.The process of transforming natural landscapes into reserves. 4.What can be inferred from Jurman’s words in the last paragraph？（　　） A.More gardens are built to increase the number of other insects. B.Jurman is pessimistic about the future of the butterfly population. C.It’s impossible to restore the butterfly population to their previous levels. D.People’s joint efforts can have a great impact on the butterfly population. B 　　（2026·安徽高三冲刺卷）Not all birds sing， but those that do — some several thousand species — do it a lot. “Why do birds sing so much？” says Iris Adam， a behavioral neuroscientist at the University of Southern Denmark. “For some reason， birds have a strong drive to sing.” This means hours of singing every day for some species， and that takes much energy. Plus， singing can be perilous. “Instantly you sing， you reveal yourself，” she says. “Like， where you are， that you even exist； where your territory is — all of that immediately is out in the open for predators （捕食者）， for everybody.” 　　To figure out why， Adam designed experiments on zebra finches — little Australian songbirds with striped heads and a bloom of orange on their cheeks. One of her first experiments involved taking males at the top of their game， and cutting off the connection between their brains and their singing muscles. “Already after two days， they’d lost some of their performance，” she says. “After three weeks， they were back to the same level when they were juveniles （幼鸟） and never had sung before.” 　　Next， she left the birds intact （完好无损的） but kept them in the dark almost around the clock for a week. The only exception was a few half-hour blocks each day when Adam switched the lights on so the finches would feed and drink. Light is what stimulates the birds to sing. However， she would move around and tap the cage when the birds wanted to sing. 　　After a week， the birds’ singing muscles lost half their strength. Then she played a male’s song before and after the seven days of darkness， yet she couldn’t hear a difference. But when Adam played it for a group of female birds — who’re the audience for these singing males — six out of nine preferred the song that came from a male who’d been using his singing muscles daily. 　　Adam’s conclusion is that “songbirds need to exercise their vocal muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don’t sing， they lose performance. So their vocalizations get less attractive to females — and that’s bad”. And this may help explain songbirds’ constant singing. 5.What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 1 probably mean？（　　） A.Rewarding. B.Promising. C.Attractive. D.Dangerous. 6.What happened to the male finches after operations？（　　） A.Their brains recovered after three weeks. B.They lost the ability to sing gradually. C.Their muscles were back to juvenile level quickly. D.They became inactive when hunting for food. 7.Why were some male finches left in the dark for a week？（　　） A.To prevent them from singing. B.To expose them to a new lifestyle. C.To change their communicating patterns. D.To test their ability to memorize the past. 8.What is the positive effect of songbirds’ constant singing？（　　） A.It enhanced their lung capacity. B.It could frighten away their predators. C.It improved their digestive ability. D.It could keep their vocal muscles in shape.
