(2025·湖南长沙模拟)Watching thousands of baby puffins (海鹦), known as pufflings, being thrown off a cliff (悬崖) is perfectly normal for the people of Iceland's Westman Islands. This yearly tradition is what's known as “puffling season” and it is a crucial practice. Puffins are charming birds and attract locals and tourists to visit them. But during puffling season, the focus shifts from merely watching to actively helping the young puffins.
The chicks of puffins hatch in nests on high sea cliffs. About six weeks after hatching, they will fly from their nests and spend several years at sea until they return to land to breed. Puffins have historically found the ocean by following the light of the moon.
But because of lights from towns near where the puffins nest, they can get lost. Instead of heading out to sea to fish and grow strong, the birds end up heading inland. They wander on the streets, where cars, cats, and buildings pose dangerous obstacles. So, many residents spend a few weeks in August and September collecting baby puffins that have crashed into town and then gently throwing them into the ocean.
According to Erpur Hansen, a local ecologist, the average puffin population in Iceland has decreased by 70 percent over the last 30 years. “While light pollution may be the most visible and easily blamed issue, what's restricting puffin numbers most dramatically are rising sea surface temperatures,” he explains. To further worsen the issue, puffins also only lay one egg per year, and only after they're 3-6 years old. That rareness, combined with lack of food, and the legal hunting of the birds in Iceland all come together to threaten the population.
In fact, Hansen has suggested that if all factors continue on a similar trend, puffins in Iceland could be a thing of the past in a matter of decades. “On the upside, the last few years have seen something of a population increase, but that doesn't mean it's time to relax and it's important to remain watchful to protect the birds, especially during puffling season,” Hansen says.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了冰岛韦斯特曼群岛的“海鹦幼鸟季”传统,阐述海鹦幼鸟迷路原因,还分析了海鹦数量减少的因素及保护的重要性。

A.Watch pufflings thrown off a cliff by adult puffins.
B.Observe pufflings flying from their nests to breed.
C.Search for pufflings and release them into the wild.
D.Celebrate the pufflings' successful migration journey.

5.Why do many puffins lose their ways?( )
A.The moonlight is hazier than it used to be.
B.They are misled by artificial lights inland.
C.They are born with poor sense of direction.
D.Natural environment is too complicated to adapt.
解析:B 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But because of lights from ... the birds end up heading inland.”可知,许多海鹦迷路是因为它们被内陆的人造灯光误导了。
6.What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on about the puffin?( )
A.The multiple factors causing its decline.
B.The impact of climate change on it.
C.The rareness of its breeding features.
D.The numerous challenges its habitat faces.
解析:A 段落大意题。根据第四段可知,该段主要聚焦于导致海鹦数量减少的多种因素。
7.What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?( )
A.There's no need for longterm fix for the pufflings.
B.Puffins' future is overwhelmingly discouraging.
C.Constant active intervention from humans is essential.
D.The puffling season tradition should be spread across Iceland.
解析:C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘On the upside, the last few ... during puffling season,’ Hansen says.”可知,因为人类的保护,过去几年海鹦数量有所增加,所以作者在最后一段中想传达的是“人类持续的积极干预是必不可少的”。
