一、阅读理解
For too long, we have held a narrow and biased view of nature, seeing it as something separate from our urban lives — something to be visited in natural parks or distant wilderness. We pass by the moss in a crack or the algae in a gutter (水沟) with indifference, even disgust. However, cities are not empty of life but are unique, lively ecosystems, and recognizing this should allow us to redefine what it means to be a naturalist in the modern world.
Within ordinary urban landscapes, life displays extraordinary toughness and creativity. Plants and microorganisms not only survive but grow well in the heat and pollution of city gutters. Urban animals have also developed smart behaviors: Japanese crows use cars to crack nuts, and Australian cockatoos open trash bins for food. Furthermore, cities drive physical changes in their residents. Some lizards have developed stickier feet to better hold on smooth man-made surfaces. This concrete “jungle” is thus not a biological desert but a dynamic, human-made ecosystem, representing a fascinating new chapter in the story of life on our planet.
Therefore, the old image of a naturalist — a professional in remote wilds — is outdated. Academic papers and online courses make biology and ecology procurable to everyone. Community labs and nature clubs enable ordinary people to do research with microscopes and other simple tools. When we accept the city as a real ecosystem, we allow everyone to become a “community scientist”.
For those feeling disconnected from nature in cities, there’s a new way: just stay curious and notice the ignored ecological corners, and city life may be filled with new surprises and joys. You don’t need to be a professional scientist — anyone can be a naturalist-explorer in the urban wilderness.
1. What phenomenon does the author point out in Paragraph 1?
A. Naturalists need professional training.
B. City residents overlook nearby nature.
C. People favor wilderness over urban life.
D. Ecologists redefine biased nature concepts.
2. How does the author show cities are lively ecosystems?
A. By criticizing current opinions.
B. By suggesting new research findings.
C. By giving examples of organism adaptation.
D. By comparing biodiversity from different habitats.
3. What does the underlined word “procurable” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Suitable. B. Comfortable. C. Reasonable. D. Accessible.
4. What idea does the author aim to challenge in the passage?
A. Naturalists are limited to professionals.
B. Evolution mainly exists in wild nature.
C. Urbanization damages the environment.
D. City holds a distinct and dynamic ecology.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 4. A
【解析】【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章挑战了将自然与城市生活割裂的传统观念,指出城市本身就是充满活力的生态系统,并主张每个人都可以成为城市中的“自然主义者”。
【1题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“For too long, we have held a narrow and biased view of nature, seeing it as something separate from our urban lives — something to be visited in natural parks or distant wilderness. We pass by the moss in a crack or the algae in a gutter (水沟) with indifference, even disgust. (长期以来,我们对自然持有狭隘且有偏见的看法,将其视为与我们城市生活分离的东西——是在自然公园或遥远荒野中才能看到的东西。我们对裂缝中的苔藓或水沟里的藻类漠不关心,甚至厌恶)”可知,作者在第一段指出的现象是城市居民将自然视为与城市生活分离的东西,忽视身边的大自然。故选B项。
【2题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“Plants and microorganisms not only survive but grow well in the heat and pollution of city gutters. Urban animals have also developed smart behaviors: Japanese crows use cars to crack nuts, and Australian cockatoos open trash bins for food. Furthermore, cities drive physical changes in their residents. Some lizards have developed stickier feet to better hold on smooth man-made surfaces. This concrete “jungle” is thus not a biological desert but a dynamic, human-made ecosystem, representing a fascinating new chapter in the story of life on our planet. (植物和微生物不仅在城市水沟的高温和污染中生存,而且生长良好。城市动物也发展出了聪明的行为:日本的乌鸦利用汽车来敲开坚果,澳大利亚的凤头鹦鹉会打开垃圾箱寻找食物。此外,城市还推动了其居民的身体变化。一些蜥蜴进化出了粘性更强的脚,以便更好地抓握光滑的人造表面。 这片钢筋水泥的“丛林”并非生态荒漠,而是一个充满活力的人造生态系统,正书写着地球生命故事中一个引人入胜的新篇章)”可知,作者通过举例说明生物在城市的适应能力来展示城市是充满活力的生态系统。故选C项。
【3题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Academic papers and online courses make biology and ecology procurable to everyone. (学术论文和在线课程使生物学和生态学对每个人来说都procurable)”以及后文“Community labs and nature clubs enable ordinary people to do research with microscopes and other simple tools. (社区实验室和自然俱乐部让普通人能够使用显微镜和其他简单工具进行研究)”可推知,这些资源让生物学和生态学变得“可获得的”或“易于接触的”。故划线词意为“可获得的”,与“Accessible”同义。故选D项。
【4题详解】推理判断题。通读全文,结合第三段中“Therefore, the old image of a naturalist — a professional in remote wilds — is outdated. (因此,自然主义者的旧有形象——一个在遥远荒野工作的专业人士——已经过时了)”以及最后一段“You don’t need to be a professional scientist — anyone can be a naturalist-explorer in the urban wilderness. (你不需要成为专业的科学家——任何人都可以成为城市荒野中的自然主义探险家)”可知,作者旨在挑战“自然主义者仅限于专业人士”这一观念。故选A项。
二、七选五
Malta: Travel Guided by Locals
With huge amounts of information at our fingertips in the social media-fueled Internet age, we are in theory better equipped to travel more and better. But for this Malta trip, we decided to do something different. ____1____ We’d build the trip by talking to random locals. No guidebook allowed. No smartphone either — unless we were completely lost.
Approaching locals for travel tips can be awkward. So I came up with a trick: a deck of cards with common holiday questions. ____2____ Locals would draw a card and give a tip based on it. We’d follow the tip, then ask them to recommend another local to help us.
How did it go? ____3____ Philip,wonderful and friendly, introduced us to almost the whole island. When asked about his “favourite lunch spot”, he drew the card and recommended Claire, who runs Mojo restaurant in Victoria. For the “favourite cafe” card, Claire suggested Gleneagles in Mgarr Harbour. It’s run by approachable Tony-a goldmine for tips and stories.
____4____ Tony, a silver-haired man with a rough voice, was one such local. He told stories of his coffee shop’s 40 years, full of emotions and old regulars. His words made those times almost tangible, making him a living connection to Gozo’s past.
My message is simple. If you visit Malta, leave your guidebook and phone in your room. Go to a cafe, order a local drink, chat randomly with a local. ____5____ It grows meaningful and exciting when we connect with locals. We learn their stories, and maybe gain a new perspective.
A. Our experiment started in Gozo with a local restaurant owner.
B. Malta has been known for its coastal scenery and ancient ruins.
C. At its core, travel revolves around genuine human connections.
D. There’s no time machine, but some locals connect you to the past.
E. As a natural icebreaker, these cards served to reduce the awkwardness.
F. We visited many famous attractions recommended by travelers in Gozo.
G. Instead of overplanning with blogs, Instagram or guidebooks, we chose chance.
【答案】1. G 2. E 3. A 4. D 5. C
【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在马耳他旅行时,摒弃攻略、手机和指南书,通过随机与当地人交流、接力获取建议的方式完成旅程,体会到旅行的核心是人与人之间真诚的联结。
【1题详解】根据上文“But for this Malta trip, we decided to do something different.(不过这次马耳他之行,我们决定做些不一样的事) 以及后文“No guidebook allowed. No smartphone either — unless we were completely lost.(禁止使用旅游指南,也不准用智能手机 —— 除非我们彻底迷路了。)”可知,空格处应说明不一样的方面有哪些。G选项“Instead of overplanning with blogs, Instagram or guidebooks, we chose chance.”(我们不靠博客、社交软件或旅行指南过度规划,而是选择随缘)承接上文,符合语境。故选G项。
【2题详解】根据上文“Approaching locals for travel tips can be awkward. So I came up with a trick: a deck of cards with common holiday questions.(主动向当地人请教旅行小贴士可能会很尴尬。于是我想到了一个小妙招:一副印有常见度假问题的卡片)”可知,空格处解释卡片的作用。E选项“As a natural icebreaker, these cards served to reduce the awkwardness.(这些卡片是天然的破冰方式,能缓解尴尬)”承接上文,符合语境。故选E项。
【3题详解】根据上文“How did it go?(进展如何?)以及后文“Philip, wonderful and friendly, introduced us to almost the whole island.(出色又友好的菲利普几乎带我们认识了整座岛)”可知,空格处引出旅程的开始。A选项“Our experiment started in Gozo with a local restaurant owner.(我们的尝试从戈佐岛的一位当地餐馆老板开始)”引出下文,符合语境。故选A项。
【4题详解】根据下文“Tony, a silver-haired man with a rough voice, was one such local. He told stories of his coffee shop’s 40 years, full of emotions and old regulars. His words made those times almost tangible, making him a living connection to Gozo’s past.(托尼,一位头发花白、嗓音沙哑的男子,就是这样一位当地人。他饱含深情地讲述着自己的咖啡馆历经40年的故事,满是昔日老主顾的回忆。他的话语让那些岁月仿佛触手可及,他本人也成了连接戈佐岛过往的鲜活纽带)”可知,当地人的故事能将人们带到过去。D选项“There’s no time machine, but some locals connect you to the past.(没有时光机,但一些当地人能带你连接过去)”引出下文,符合语境。故选D项。
【5题详解】根据下文“It grows meaningful and exciting when we connect with locals.(当我们和当地人交流时,旅行变得有意义又令人兴奋)”可知,空格处点明旅行的核心。C选项“At its core, travel revolves around genuine human connections.(旅行的核心,是围绕人与人之间真诚的联结展开)总结主题,符合语境。故选C项。

一、阅读理解
For too long, we have held a narrow and biased view of nature, seeing it as something separate from our urban lives — something to be visited in natural parks or distant wilderness. We pass by the moss in a crack or the algae in a gutter (水沟) with indifference, even disgust. However, cities are not empty of life but are unique, lively ecosystems, and recognizing this should allow us to redefine what it means to be a naturalist in the modern world.
Within ordinary urban landscapes, life displays extraordinary toughness and creativity. Plants and microorganisms not only survive but grow well in the heat and pollution of city gutters. Urban animals have also developed smart behaviors: Japanese crows use cars to crack nuts, and Australian cockatoos open trash bins for food. Furthermore, cities drive physical changes in their residents. Some lizards have developed stickier feet to better hold on smooth man-made surfaces. This concrete “jungle” is thus not a biological desert but a dynamic, human-made ecosystem, representing a fascinating new chapter in the story of life on our planet.
Therefore, the old image of a naturalist — a professional in remote wilds — is outdated. Academic papers and online courses make biology and ecology procurable to everyone. Community labs and nature clubs enable ordinary people to do research with microscopes and other simple tools. When we accept the city as a real ecosystem, we allow everyone to become a “community scientist”.
For those feeling disconnected from nature in cities, there’s a new way: just stay curious and notice the ignored ecological corners, and city life may be filled with new surprises and joys. You don’t need to be a professional scientist — anyone can be a naturalist-explorer in the urban wilderness.

Malta: Travel Guided by Locals
With huge amounts of information at our fingertips in the social media-fueled Internet age, we are in theory better equipped to travel more and better. But for this Malta trip, we decided to do something different. ____1____ We’d build the trip by talking to random locals. No guidebook allowed. No smartphone either — unless we were completely lost.
Approaching locals for travel tips can be awkward. So I came up with a trick: a deck of cards with common holiday questions. ____2____ Locals would draw a card and give a tip based on it. We’d follow the tip, then ask them to recommend another local to help us.
How did it go? ____3____ Philip,wonderful and friendly, introduced us to almost the whole island. When asked about his “favourite lunch spot”, he drew the card and recommended Claire, who runs Mojo restaurant in Victoria. For the “favourite cafe” card, Claire suggested Gleneagles in Mgarr Harbour. It’s run by approachable Tony-a goldmine for tips and stories.
____4____ Tony, a silver-haired man with a rough voice, was one such local. He told stories of his coffee shop’s 40 years, full of emotions and old regulars. His words made those times almost tangible, making him a living connection to Gozo’s past.
My message is simple. If you visit Malta, leave your guidebook and phone in your room. Go to a cafe, order a local drink, chat randomly with a local. ____5____ It grows meaningful and exciting when we connect with locals. We learn their stories, and maybe gain a new perspective.
A. Our experiment started in Gozo with a local restaurant owner.
B. Malta has been known for its coastal scenery and ancient ruins.
C. At its core, travel revolves around genuine human connections.
D. There’s no time machine, but some locals connect you to the past.
E. As a natural icebreaker, these cards served to reduce the awkwardness.
F. We visited many famous attractions recommended by travelers in Gozo.
G. Instead of overplanning with blogs, Instagram or guidebooks, we chose chance.
