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 butterflyfriendly 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 environmentbirds, 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.

(2026·安徽皖江名校联盟考试)More than 3 million square kilometers of the Asian elephant's historic habitat range has been lost in just three centuries, a new report from an international scientific team led by a University of California San Diego researcher reveals.This dramatic decline may underlie presentday conflicts between elephants and people, the authors argue.
Developing new insights from a unique data set that models landuse change over 13 centuries, a research team led by new UC San Diego member Shermin de Silva found that habitats suitable for Asian elephants have been cut by nearly twothirds within the past 300 years.
The largest living land animal in Asia, endangered Asian elephants inhabited grasslands and rainforest ecosystems that once crossed the continent.Analyzing landuse data from the years 850 to 2015, the researchers describe in the journal Scientific Reports a troubling situation in which they estimate that more than 64% of historic suitable elephant habitat across Asia has been lost.While elephant habitats remained relatively stable prior to the 1700s, colonialera landuse practices in Asia, including forest decrease, farming and agriculture, cut the average habitat size more than 80%, from 99,000 to 16,000 square kilometers.
The study also suggests that the remaining elephant populations today may not have enough habitat areas.While 100% of the area within 100 kilometers of the current elephant range was considered suitable habitat in 1700, the proportion (比例) has since declined to less than 50% by 2015.This sets up a high potential for conflicts with people living in those areas as elephant populations change their behavior and adjust to more humandominated spaces.
“In the 1600s and 1700s there is evidence of a dramatic change in land use, not just in Asia, but globally,” said de Silva, an assistant professor in the School of Biological Sciences' Department of Ecology, Behavior and Evolution, and founder of the nonprofit Trunks & Leaves.“Around the world we see a really dramatic transformation that has consequences that last even to this day.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。科学团队揭示了过去三个世纪亚洲象历史栖息地大幅流失的情况,分析了栖息地流失的原因及其引发的人象冲突问题,并提及研究对当下生态的影响。
5.What did the new report focus on?
A.Number of conflicts between elephants and people.
B.Changes of the living habitats for Asian elephants.
C.The measures for agricultural models of landuse.
D.Methods to deal with conflicts between man and animals.
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段以及第三段中“Analyzing landuse data from the years 850 to 2015, the researchers describe in the journal Scientific Reports a troubling situation in which they estimate that more than 64% of historic suitable elephant habitat across Asia has been lost.”可知,新报告核心聚焦的是亚洲象生活栖息地的变化。故选B。
答案 B
6.What's the main cause about the loss of the elephant habitats?
A.The increase of elephant population.
B.People's living styles in the past 300 years.
C.Human activities in elephants' ecosystems.
D.Endangered Elephants' bad health conditions.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中“While elephant habitats remained relatively stable prior to the 1700s, colonialera landuse practices in Asia, including forest decrease, farming and agriculture, cut the average habitat size more than 80%, from 99,000 to 16,000 square kilometers.”可知,大象栖息地流失的主要原因是人类在其生态系统中的活动。故选C。
答案 C
7.Which can best describe de Silva's attitude toward the environment?
A.Positive. B.Indifferent.
C.Toleratant. D.Concerned.
