并探讨了针对灰熊的应对保护方案。
l.A[根据第一段的“Grizzly bears...occupy a conflicted
corner of the American psyche(灰熊在美国人心中占据了
一个矛盾的角落)”和“we revere(敬畏)them even as they
give us frightening dreams...their answer is often the
same:a grizzly bear"”可知,人们对灰熊既怕又爱。由此可
见,人们对它们的感情很复杂,故A项正确。]
2.C[根据第三段的“Inl975,grizzlies were listed under the
Endangered Species Act(1975年,灰熊被列入《美国频危动
物法案》中)”和第四段的“Today,there are about2,000or
more grizzly bears in the U.S.(如今,美国大约有2000或
更多头灰熊)”可以推断,灰熊数量增长与1975年以来的
法律保护息息相关,故C项正确。
3.AL根据题千的“theU.S.Fish and Wildlife Service from
delisting grizzlies”可以迅速锁定第四段。根据第四段的
"Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conser-
vation groups(由于来自保护组织的诉讼,这两次尝试都被
推翻了)”可知,动物保护组织的反对阻止了美国鱼类及野
生动物管理局将灰熊从《美国濒危动物法案》中除名,故A
项正确。」
4.B[根据最后一段的“If people remove food and attractants.,
is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away(如果人们把食物
和引诱剂从他们的院子和营地拿走,灰熊经过时通常会平安
无事。在鸡舍和其他农场动物住所周围安装电围栏对赶走灰
熊也非常有效)”可以推断,人类可以和灰熊和谐共处,故B项
正确。]

Passage 4
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一种会识
别形状的凤头鹭鹉。
l.B[细节理解题。根据第一段“Though not known to use
tools in the wild,the birds have proved skilful at tool use
while kept in the cage,(虽然人们不知道这些鸟在野外会
使用工具,但事实证明,它们在关在笼子里时就能熟练地
使用工具。)”以及“the birds were given five differently
shaped 'keys'to choose from.Inserting the correct 'keys'
would【et out the nut..(研究人员给了这些鸟五把形状各异
的‘朝匙’供它们选择。插入正确的‘钥匙’会让坚果出
来。)”可知,在实验中,凤头鹦鹉是通过使用工具从盒子里
取出坚果的。故选B。]
2.C[细节理解题。根据第二段“In humans,babies can put
a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age
(在人类身上,婴儿从一岁左右就可以把一个圆形的物品
放进一个圆形的洞里)”可知,一岁儿童最有可能完成“将
一个球放进一个圆形的洞里”的任务。故选C。]
3.D[推理判断题。通过最后一段“The next step,according
to the researchers,is to try and work out whether the cock-
atoos rely entirely on visual clues(线索),or also use a sense
of touch in making their shape selections.(根据研究人员的
说法,下一步是尝试弄清楚凤头鹦鹅是完全依靠视觉线
索,还是也使用触觉来选择它们的形状。)”可推知,后续测
试的目的是了解凤头鹦鹉在测试中是否使用触觉。故
选D。」
4.D[标题归纳题。通读全文,再结合第一段“Goffin's
cockatoos,a kind of small parrot native to Australasia,have
been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a
human two-year-old..(戈芬的凤头鹦鹉是一种原产于大
洋洲的小鹦鹉,它的形状识别能力与两岁的人类相
似。)”可推知,本文主要介绍会识别形状的凤头鹦鹉。
D项“Cockatoos:Skilful Shape-Sorters(凤头鹨鹉:识别形
状的熟练工)”符合文意,最适合作为本文标题。故
选D。]

Passage 1
语篇类型:说明文主题语境:人与自然一人与环境
“矩阵式”种植方法
文章大意:“矩阵式”种植方法是一种越来越受欢迎的新颖的
园艺设计方法,其目的是让大自然在花园中承担更多的艰巨
工作,甚至是一些设计。该种植方法基于一个简单的原则,
即更加像大自然一样地种植花木。
l.B[理解词汇根据画线词后的“it's based on an elegant-
ly simple principle:to garden more like nature does”可知,
“矩阵式”种植方法基于一个简单的原则,即更加像大自然
一样地种植花木。结合常识可知,自然种植不会用到化肥
和电动工具,故画线词的意思与B项“远离”最为接近。
run out of'“用完,耗尽”;put up with“容忍,忍受”;take ad-
vantage of“利用”。]
2.D[理解具体信息根据第二段的“The concept was born
when German city planners sought to plant large areas of
parkland after World War ll in a reproducible way that
would need minimal maintenance'”可知,“矩阵式”种植方法
的概念诞生于德国二战后,当时的城市规划者试图使用一
种可复制的方式来开发大面积的公园用地,这种方法需要
最少的维护。由此可知,推行“矩阵式”种植方法是为了开
发低维护成本的公园用地,故选D。A项“为了管理大型
花园中的杂草”:B项“为了引进外来植物”:C项“为了保
护水土资源”。]

3.C[推断根据题千中的“Piet Oudolf's gardens”可快速
将答定位到第三段。根据第三段的“adding artistic fla-
vors to the planting mixes while playing with color and
form,including four-season interest and serving the needs
of wildlife..Beautiful year-round'”可知,Piet Oudolf的花园
在巧妙地利用色彩和表现形式的同时,在混合种植中增添
了艺术气息,包括四季皆宜的观赏性,并满足野生动物的
需求,这些花园全年都很美丽,故选C项tasteful'“高雅的,
雅致的,优美的”。odd-looking“外表怪异的,奇形怪状的”;
wellprotected“受良好保护的”。]
4.A[理解文章主旨要义本文第一段引入话题“矩阵式”
种植方法,介绍该方法的目的和基本原则;第二段介绍该
方法的诞生及基本操作方式;第三段以Piet)udolf的花园
为例,讲述了采用该方法种植的花园的特色;第四段讲这
种花园是经过精心规划的:最后一段讲这样种植方法带来
的生态好处。由此可知,本文主要介绍了“矩阵式”种植方
法。文章的第一段是本文的主旨段,“A novel design ap
proach to gardening has been gaining in popularity world-
wide”表明“矩阵式”种植方法在全世界越来越受欢迎,即这
种方法是种植花木的未来:“it's based on an elegantly sim
ple principle:to garden more like nature does'"表明“矩阵
式”种植方法的核心是侣导像大自然一样种植花木,即模仿自
然设计园林。故A项“园艺的未来是自然生长”最适合作本文
的标题。B项“大自然平等对待所有生命”:C项“‘矩阵式’花
园需要更多照看”;D项“老旧的花园地块创造奇迹”。]
Passage 2
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。John Todd从小就喜欢观
察大自然,并被自然的自净能力折服。大学时期经过专业的
学习之后,John通过实验找到了合适的生态组合,发明出了
“生态设计”,并解决了很多实际的污水净化问题。
l.C[根据第一段中的“observing how nature solved prob-
lems”和“When he got older,John started to wonder if
this process could be used to clean up the messes people
were making”和第二段中的“John went back to observing
nature and asking questions'”以及第二段中的两个问题可
以看出,John是一个喜欢刨根问底、喜欢探索的人,故C项
正确。long to do sth.“渴望做某事”。]
2.D[根据第三段中的“The task John set for himself was
to remove harmful substances from some sludge
泥).,,placed them in the tanks”可知,John修建水箱是为
了清理污泥中的有害物质,为此,他在水箱里放了一些动植
物。第四段中的“all that was left was pure water'”表明了将
污泥放入水箱之后的变化。据此可以推断,John在水箱里
放入污泥是为了检验他的生态机器的效果,故D项正确。]
3.B[上文讲到了John的发明成功了,根据第五段的中心
句“Over the years,John has taken on many big jobs”"可知,
多年来,John做了很多重大的工作。本段提到净化福州的
运河水是为了举例说明Jon的发明及其理念在实践中的
应用,故B项正确。A“为了回顾John的研究计划”:B“为
了展示John的理念的实际应用”:C“为了比较John的不同
工作”:D“为了消除对John的发明的怀疑”。]
4.A[本文主要围绕John的疑问“A dirty stream,for ex-
ample,often became clear after flowing through plants and
along rocks where tiny creatures lived...if this process
could be used to clean up the messes people were making"
展开,即一条肮脏的溪流在穿过植物和流过微生物居住的
岩石后,往往会变得清澈,这个过程是否可以用来清理人
们制造的脏乱呢?正是在这个疑问的指引下,John发明了
“生态设计”,因此,John发明的根源就在于自然的自我修
复能力,且最后一段中的“Then you let these new systems
-12
develop their own ways to self-repair'”也印证了John的工作依
据就在于“自我修复“这一理念,故A项正确。门

据第一段中的“access to nature for people living in urban
areas is becoming harder to find(城市居民越来越难以接触
大自然)”以及“it's unusual to find places in a city that are
relatively wild(在一个城市里找到相对天然的地方是罕见
的)”可知,在城市里很难接触大自然。故B项正确。」
2.D[题干问的是研究人员将参与者提交的文件分类的原
因。根据第四段第一句话“Across the320 submissions,a
pattern of categories..,began to emerge(在320份提交的
材料中,一种被研究人员称为“自然语言”的类别模式开始
出现)”可知,研究人员这样做是为了从访客的总结材料中
找出类别规律。故D项正确。」
3.C[题干问的是我们从第五段所举的例子中可以学到什么。
根据第五段所举的例子“the experience of walking along the
edge of water might be satisfying...a fountain on their lunch

可以沿着喷泉散步,用不同的形式去体验自然,即同样的与自
然的互动体验会有不同的表现形式。故C项正确。]
4.B题千问的是在我们与大自然互动之前,我们应该做些
什么。根据最后一段Kahn的话“And for that to happen,
we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with
t(为了实现这一点,我们还需要保护自然,以便与之互
