Unit 6　Earth first (限时:45分钟) ●Ⅰ 阅读理解 [2025·江苏苏北七市高三调研] 文体:记叙文　主题:人与自然　词数:372 Soon after Mr & Mrs Bacchus started farming their little patch of land, they faced a major problem—a plague of birds feeding on their precious crops. Then, a man stopped on the road outside their house, and asked the couple if he could take photographs of the birds on the property. Afterwards, he suggested that instead of trying to get rid of the birds, they should learn to live alongside them, and Maraksacha Reserve was born. Today, the couple credit this man, the celebrated bird photographer Manu Espinosa, with changing their lives, and helping them persuade others of the vital importance of conservation in this region. Birding tourism is flourishing in Ecuador, with increasing numbers of specialist tour groups. Ecuador contains a variety of ecosystems at differing elevations, which helps explain why it’s among the top 10 countries in the world for bird diversity. The country is home to over 1,600 bird species—nearly double the number found in all of Europe—within an area just slightly larger than the UK. As the business of birding grows, more and more farmers are switching their land from agriculture to bird reserves, benefiting not just the birds, but the country’s economy too. One notable example is the Ajila family, who have devoted themselves to preserving the long-wattled umbrellabird. On his land near Recinto, landowner Luis Ajila has switched from dairy farming to conservation, replanting trees and promoting the site to wildlife tourists—work that he says is a better livelihood than farming. “Wildlife tourism is much more profitable than farming, but that wasn’t our only motivation,” says Luis Jr, Ajila’s son. “We aimed to protect not just the umbrellabird, but all the unique wildlife here, safeguarding them for future generations.” Since 2005, Angel Paz has transformed his former dairy farm into a bird reserve. At first, things didn’t go according to plan: it took a month for the first visitor to arrive, and he paid just $10 for a four-hour tour. Since then, however, thousands of people have made the pilgrimage. “I have protected my home and its birdlife for almost two decades, and finally watched the wildlife—and the people who visit—flourish,” Angel Paz says. (　)1.What advice did the photographer give to the couple? A.Photographing the birds. B.Coexisting with the birds. C.Protecting their precious crops. D.Taking care of their property.

As humans, we have a responsibility to protect wildlife and their habitats. We must make this generation of wild animals the last to suffer the cruelty of human actions. Research shows about 5.5 billion wild animals are exploited (剥削) commercially on wildlife farms to meet demands in tourism, fashion and other industries. 1.　　　　 Moreover, there is an astonishing lack of enough monitoring across these global industries. 2.　　　　  Improving animal welfare is a valuable investment in protecting nature, biodiversity and global health. The well-being of animals, people and the planet is interconnected. For instance, most emerging infectious diseases in humans originate from wildlife. 3.　　　　 Besides, wildlife exploitation speeds up biodiversity loss by reducing populations and disturbing ecosystems. To address such kinds of problems on this earth, we need to put animal welfare at the centre of our future economies.  4.　　　　 We should choose humane (人道的) tourist attractions. We should also avoid products made from wild animal parts, and not purchase wild animals as pets. These would be impactful steps that will not only protect animals but also help improve biodiversity, reduce public health risks and address climate change. Governments and the private sector also have a significant responsibility. 5.　　　　 Meanwhile, they must support alternative livelihoods for groups relying on wildlife exploitation.  We all have a vital role to play to stop the cruelty and ensure no more wild animals are raised for profit. We all have a right to live free from harm—wild animals included. A.The absence of monitoring allows of these harmful practices. B.We should promote our right to live in a safe circumstance. C.They ought to introduce policies to phase out wildlife farming. D.They are fed, raised and sold for human greed and exploitation. E.Fortunately, we have the power to change how we treat animals. F.These poorly regulated industries are disastrous for animal welfare. G.Human activities increase the risk of their appearing and spreading. ●Ⅲ 语法填空 [2025·重庆西南大学附属中学高三模拟] 文体:说明文　主题:人与自然　词数:234 The Taklimakan Desert, infamous as the “Sea of Death”, has now been fully encircled by the longest sand-blocking green ecological barrier, 1.　　　　 length reaches an impressive 3,046 kilometres, 2.　　　　　(mark) the completion of over 40 years of efforts to contain the desert expansion within a safety zone.  Covering 337,600 square kilometres, the Taklimakan is China’s largest drifting desert, which poses an 3.　　　　　　　　(increasing) alarming threat to surrounding oases (绿洲) and serves as a significant source of dust storms and an upwind area for the country.

The air in the countryside felt free, soft and sweet. Every day she would spend some time in the woods nearby. Some birds even came close to her, pecking at crumbs from her hands and singing away. One day in the evening, a tall young man carrying a gun approached the door of their farm house. Putting down the gun, he said, “I’ve lost my way. Could I have a night’s lodging (借宿) here?” Sylvia’s grandma somehow agreed. Then, the young man introduced himself as an ornithologist, who collected birds. “Do you put them in a cage?” Sylvia asked. “No,” he answered slowly. “I shoot them and get them stuffed and preserved. I have over 100 kinds of bird specimens (标本) in my study.” Sylvia felt her heart trembling as she imagined so many birds being shot. “Sylvia knows a lot about birds, too,” her grandmother said proudly. “Maybe she can be my last hope!” the young man became thrilled. “I have followed a rare white heron (鹭) in this direction for two days. Have you seen it, too?” he asked Sylvia. “The heron has soft white feathers and long slender legs. It probably has its nest in a treetop,” he added. Sylvia’s heart gave a wild beat. She had seen the strange bird on the other side of the woods! The young man then stared at Sylvia with the hope of the heron being one of Sylvia’s acquaintances, “I would give $100 to whoever showed me where the white heron is!” But Sylvia was silent. He then sighed, “They have never been seen here. Perhaps it was only migrating, or had been chased out of its own region by some prey.” That night, long after the moon came out and the young man had fallen asleep, Sylvia was wide awake. Her mind was alternately visited by the bird specimens and the wished-for treasures 100 dollars could buy. 注意:续写词数应为150个左右。 Paragraph 1: When dawn was breaking, Sylvia quietly left her house and hurried through the woods.       Paragraph 2: About two hours later, Sylvia appeared back in the farm house, determined.         A.词汇积累 1.celebrated adj.著名的;闻名的 2.specialist adj.专业的,专科的;专家的 n.专家;专业人员 3.diversity n.多样性 4.be home to是……的栖息地 5.profitable adj.有利润的;有益的 6.interconnected adj.互相联系的 7.encircle vt.环绕;包围;围绕 8.upwind adj.逆风的 adv.逆风;顶风 9.governance n.管理;治理;统治 10.innovation n.创造,创新;新思想,新方法 B.熟词生义 1.credit vt.把……归于<生义>;贷记(银行账户);相信 n.信用;贷款;学分 Today, the couple credit this man, the celebrated bird photographer Manu Espinosa, with changing their lives, and helping them persuade others of the vital importance of conservation in this region. (阅读理解,Para.2) 【译文】 如今,这对夫妇将改变他们人生的功劳归于这 位男子——著名的鸟类摄影师马努·埃斯皮诺萨,并感谢他帮助他们说服更多人认识到该地区生态保护的至关重要性。 2.address n.住址;演讲 vt.设法解决;演讲,演说 To address such kinds of problems on this earth, we need to put animal welfare at the centre of our future economies. (七选五,Para.3) 【译文】 为了解决地球上的这类问题,我们需要将动物福利置于未来经济体系的核心地位。 C.长难句分析 As the business of birding grows, more and more farmers are switching their land from agriculture to bird reserves, benefiting not just the birds, but the country’s economy too. (阅读理解,Para.4) 【分析】 as引导时间状语从句;benefiting not just the birds, but the country’s economy too为现在分词短语作状语,表示主句动作带来的自然结果,其中包含“not just…, but…”的并列结构。 【译文】 随着观鸟产业的发展,越来越多的农民正将他们的土地从农业用途转变为鸟类保护区,这不仅惠及鸟类,也使国家的经济受益。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 6　Earth first ●Ⅰ 【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一对夫妇与摄影师马努·埃斯皮诺萨在厄瓜多尔的故事。他们创办了保护区,发展观鸟旅游业,还带动其他农户将农田改造成观鸟地,既推动了当地旅游业发展,又保护了生态环境。 1.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中“Afterwards, he suggested that instead of trying to get rid of the birds, they should learn to live alongside them, and Maraksacha Reserve was born.”可知,摄影师建议这对夫妇不要试图赶走鸟类,而是学会与它们共存。故选B。 2.C　段落大意题。根据第三段“Ecuador contains a variety of ecosystems at differing elevations, which helps explain why it’s among the top 10 countries in the world for bird diversity…within an area just slightly larger than the UK.”可知,该段主要说明厄瓜多尔因多样的生态系统和丰富的鸟类多样性而成为观鸟胜地。故第三段主要讲述是什么让厄瓜多尔成为观鸟目的地。故选C。 3.B　推理判断题。根据第四段“…Luis Ajila has switched from dairy farming to conservation…work that he says is a better livelihood than farming.”以及第五段“We aimed to protect not just the umbrellabird…safeguarding them for future generations.”可知,Ajila一家从乳品业转向保护鸟类,既获得了更好的生计,又保护了野生动物,实现了盈利性与可持续性的结合。据此推断,Ajila一家实现了盈利与可持续发展的结合。故选B。 4.B　推理判断题。根据第六段“At first, things didn’t go according to plan: it took a month for the first visitor to arrive…Since then, however, thousands of people have made the pilgrimage. ‘I have protected my home…and finally watched the wildlife—and the people who visit—flourish,’ Angel Paz says.”可知,Angel Paz的事业起初并不顺利,但经过近二十年的坚持,最终取得了成功。这表明成功需要时间才能见效。据此推断,从Angel Paz的故事中我们可以学到“功到自然成”(需要时间才能有成果)。故选B。 ●Ⅱ 【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何保障野生动物自由生存的权利。 1.D　根据上文“Research shows about 5.5 billion wild animals are exploited (剥削) commercially on wildlife farms to meet demands in tourism, fashion and other industries.”可知,本句应承接上文,说明野生动物被养殖以满足其他行业需求的情况,D选项中they指代上文about 5.5 billion wild animals。故D选项(它们被喂养、饲养和出售,以满足人类的贪婪和剥削。)符合语境。故选D。 2.F　根据上文“Moreover, there is an astonishing lack of enough monitoring across these global industries.”可知,上文提到了行业监管不足的问题,本句应承接上文,说明导致的问题,F选项中these poorly regulated industries对应上文lack of enough monitoring。故F选项(这些管理不善的行业对动物福利是灾难性的。)符合语境。故选F。 3.G　根据上文“Improving animal welfare is a valuable investment in protecting nature, biodiversity and global health. The well-being of animals, people and the planet is interconnected. For instance, most emerging infectious diseases in humans originate from wildlife.”可知,前文说大多数人类新发传染病源于野生动物,本句应进一步说明人类活动与传染病的关系,故G选项(人类活动增加了它们出现和传播的风险。)符合语境。故选G。 4.E　根据后文“We should choose humane (人道的) tourist attractions. We should also avoid products made from wild animal parts, and not purchase wild animals as pets.”可知,后文说我们应该选择人道的旅游景点,避免使用野生动物制品等,推测本句应引出下文我们为保护动物可以采取的行动,故E选项(幸运的是,我们有能力改变对待动物的方式。)符合语境。故选E。 5.C　根据上文“Governments and the private sector also have a significant responsibility.”可知,前文说政府和私营部门有重大责任,本句应承接上文,说明政府和私营部门具体应采取的措施,故C选项(他们应该出台政策来逐步淘汰野生动物养殖。)符合语境。故选C。 ●Ⅲ 【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章讲述历经40余年,中国在塔克拉玛干沙漠建成最长防沙屏障,它遏制沙漠扩张,推动产业发展,助力生态恢复。 1.whose　考查定语从句。这里考查非限制性定语从句,先行词为the longest sand-blocking green ecological barrier,在从句中作定语,所以应用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。 2.marking　考查非谓语动词。这里考查非谓语,mark与前面的句子是主动关系,应用现在分词形式作状语。故填marking。 3.increasingly　考查副词。alarming是形容词,修饰形容词应用副词作状语。故填increasingly。 4.on/upon　考查介词。这里考查relieve the effects on/upon…,是固定搭配,表示“减轻对……的影响”,所以此处应用介词on或者upon。故填on/upon。 5.have been made　考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。这里考查谓语动词,efforts与make之间是被动关系,再根据so far可知,句子应用现在完成时的被动语态,其结构为“have/has been+过去分词”,主语efforts是复数,助动词用have。故填have been made。 6.an　考查冠词。ecological barrier是可数名词单数,此处泛指“一道生态屏障”,应用不定冠词,ecological是发音以元音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词an。故填an。 7.what　考查宾语从句。of后面是一个宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,表示“……的事情”,所以应用连接代词what引导。故填what。 8.to restore　考查非谓语动词。target后常用动词不定式作后置定语,a target to do sth表示“做某事的目标”。故填to restore。 9.regional　考查形容词。development是名词,修饰名词应用形容词作定语。故填regional。 10.vitality　考查名词。空处作see的宾语,名词vitality表示“活力,生机”,符合句意,不可数。故填vitality。 ●Ⅳ 【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了西尔维娅一年前从肮脏拥挤的工业小镇来到位于佛蒙特州的祖母的农场,享受乡村的自由空气和宁静生活。她经常在附近的树林里度过时光,与鸟儿亲近。一天傍晚,一个持枪的高大年轻人来到农场请求借宿,西尔维娅的祖母同意了他的请求。年轻人自称是鸟类学家,但实则收集鸟类标本,这令西尔维娅心惊胆战。祖母提到西尔维娅也懂很多鸟类知识,年轻人因此兴奋起来,透露自己在追踪一只罕见的白鹭,并询问西尔维娅是否见过。西尔维娅确实在树林另一边见过这只白鹭,但面对年轻人提出的100美元悬赏,她保持了沉默。夜深人静时,西尔维娅辗转反侧,内心挣扎于鸟类标本和100美元的诱惑之间。 【详解】 1. 段落续写: ①由第一段首句内容“黎明时,西尔维娅悄悄地离开家,匆匆穿过树林。”可知,第一段可描写西尔维娅在树林中见到白鹭在自然界中的自由与和谐的场面。 ②由第二段首句内容“大约两小时后,西尔维娅回到农舍,决心已定。”可知,第二段可描写西尔维娅经受住了100美元的诱惑,没有告诉年轻人白鹭在哪里以及年轻人听到消息后的表现。 2. 续写线索:穿过树林—看到白鹭巢穴—白鹭在大自然中的和谐场景—抵住诱惑—拒绝透露白鹭所在—大自然的和谐场景。 One possible version: When dawn was breaking, Sylvia quietly left her house and hurried through the woods. She finally reached an old pine tree, alongside which was flourishing undergrowth (定语从句), complex enough to bewilder any invaders (形容词短语作后置定语). With her bare feet and tiny fingers grabbing the rough trunk (with复合结构), Sylvia climbed to the top to locate precisely where the white heron had hidden its nest (宾语从句). Suddenly, her eyes caught a flash of white. On a stretching branch just below her, a white heron was smoothing its feathers at leisure and crying to its mate dwelling in their nest nearby (现在分词短语作后置定语). As the golden sunrays struck the green woods (时间状语从句), the heron beat its wings, hovering. Sylvia couldn’t help sighing at such harmony, knowing it was her calling to sustain it (现在分词短语作状语). About two hours later, Sylvia appeared back in the farm house, determined. Greeting her was the young man (倒装句), who assumed she came to seal the 100-dollar deal (非限制性定语从句). “You spotted it?” his intent eyes looked deeply into Sylvia’s grey ones. 100 dollars was genuinely a temptation, a big fortune she needed (同位语;定语从句). Somehow the heron dumbed her. She had felt awed by how it lived the life she had dreamt of and how they witnessed the sunrise together from the top of the world (how引导的两个并列宾语从句). She could not unveil the heron’s secret, cruelly taking away its natural freedom (现在分词短语作状语). The young man went away later that day, disappointed. Everything returned to normal, Sylvia wandering through the woods and flocks of birds singing freely (两个并列的独立主格结构). 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
