On an early winter morning, a small group of students and tourists were taking pictures of the horses with their phones. These horses, known locally as takhi and globally as Przewalski’s horse, are unique. They are the only type that has never been trained and they are the fruits of one of the most successful ever wildlife reintroduction plans of Hustai National Park.
“Horses are key to our culture. Everyone is glad to have them back,” says Dashpurev with a smile, who is in charge of Hustai National Park. Once hunted to extinction in the wild in the 1960s, Przewalski’s horses now number nearly 1,000, at three sites across Mongolia, as well as in China and Kazakhstan. The largest population — numbering 423 — is in central Mongolia’s Hustai National Park. These horses are descendants (后代) of 84 animals that were airlifted from European zoos in the 1990s.
“Before the reintroduction, no one believed we could save this species,” recalls Dashpurev. Now, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has downgraded Przewalski’s horse from “critically endangered” to “endangered”, marking a significant milestone in their recovery.
However, despite this success story, Mongolia faces numerous challenges in protecting its other species. Besides hunting, the climate emergency is putting more pressure. Temperatures are rising three times faster than the global average, bringing more extreme weather events that wipe out large numbers of animals.
Faced with this crisis, the government has taken actions to protect wild areas. In 1998, Mongolia promised to protect 30% of its territory by 2030 — a goal adopted by 100 other countries in 2021. So far it is on 21%. Last year, the president launched a drive to plant 1 billion trees by 2030 and tough fines have had success in stopping illegal hunting.
Yet these efforts are hamstrung (妨碍) by a lack of funding. “The government wants to grow the economy. That’s the key thing for them, so they are putting a lot of effort into agriculture and mining,” says Buuveibaatar, a scientist at the Wildlife Conservation Society, “Wildlife is ignored. As a result, some of its conservation areas are paper parks. The Przewalski’s horse reintroduction plan is an example of how to save wildlife. Now, the challenge lies in introducing this success to the rest of the country’s other wildlife.”
4. Why are these horses unique according to the passage?
A. They are airlifted from European zoos.
B. They are successfully introduced species.
C. They are the only true wild horse species.
D. They can only be photographed in Mongolia.
5. What was the public’s attitude towards saving these horses before the reintroduction?
A. Relieved. B. Supportive. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful.
6. Why is the climate emergency mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To introduce the reasons for wildlife extinction.
B. To explain its influence on wildlife in Mongolia.
C. To stress the challenges facing wildlife protection.
D. To express the author’s feelings about the extinction.
7. What does Buuveibaatar imply in the last paragraph?
A. Hustai National Park provides a positive model.
B. The government’s focus should be the economy.
C. Other countries can help by following the footsteps.
D. The Przewalski’s horse is the only one worth saving.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蒙古国普氏野马(又称“takhi”)的保护和重引入计划,以及蒙古国在保护野生动物方面所面临的挑战和所采取的措施。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“These horses, known locally as takhi and globally as Przewalski’s horse, are unique. They are the only type that has never been trained (这些马,在当地被称为takhi,在全球被称为普氏野马,是独一无二的。它们是唯一没有受过训练的物种)”可知,这些马独一无二是因为它们是是唯一没有受过训练的物种,是真正的野马种类。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中““Before the reintroduction, no one believed we could save this species,” recalls Dashpurev.(“在重新引入之前,没有人相信我们可以拯救这个物种,”Dashpurev回忆道)”可知,在重新引入这些马之前,公众对此持怀疑态度。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中心句“However, despite this success story, Mongolia faces numerous challenges in protecting its other species.(然而,尽管有这样的成功故事,蒙古在保护其他物种方面面临着许多挑战)”和“Temperatures are rising three times faster than the global average, bringing more extreme weather events that wipe out large numbers of animals.(气温上升速度是全球平均水平的三倍,带来了更多的极端天气事件,导致大量动物死亡)”可推知,第四段中提及气候紧急情况旨在说明蒙古野生动物保护努力面临的其它挑战。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““The government wants to grow the economy. That’s the key thing for them, so they are putting a lot of effort into agriculture and mining,” says Buuveibaatar, a scientist at the Wildlife Conservation Society, “Wildlife is ignored. As a result, some of its conservation areas are paper parks. The Przewalski’s horse reintroduction plan is an example of how to save wildlife. Now, the challenge lies in introducing this success to the rest of the country’s other wildlife.”(野生动物保护协会的科学家Buuveibaatar说:“政府希望发展经济。这对他们来说是关键,所以他们在农业和采矿方面投入了大量精力。野生生物被忽视了。因此,一些保护区只是纸上谈兵。普氏野马重引入计划是拯救野生生物的典范。现在,挑战在于将这种成功模式引入该国其他野生生物的保护中。”)”可知,Buuveibaatar认为普氏野马重引入计划是拯救野生生物的典范,这种成功模式应引入该国其他野生生物的保护中。说明Buuveibaatar认为呼斯坦诺鲁国家公园对普氏野马的保护树立了一个积极的榜样。故选A项。
C
If you have ever driven coast to coast across the United States, chances are that you have passed beneath the flight of a fearless songbird, the cliff swallow (崖燕). Unlike most wildlife that retreat from human footprint, the cliff swallow has survived alongside it. Originally a bird of the western mountains, it has, over the past century, colonized the Great Plains, building its mud nests beneath bridges — wonders of natural engineering like our own.
For nearly forty years, researcher Charles Brown has conducted annual surveys of hundreds of these nesting colonies in Nebraska, seeking to understand the dynamics of swallow society. He has found that in western Nebraska, most cliff swallows live within a stone’s throw of a road.
This choice of habitat is, of course, exceptionally dangerous. When Brown began studying swallows in the 1980s, he often picked up dead swallows on the roads. In 2012, however, Brown suddenly found, though, there was virtually no roadkill to be found. He’d collected twenty dead birds in 1984, when the project began, and twenty more in 1985 and 1986. Then the trend line went downward: fifteen in 1989, thirteen in 1991, eight in 2002. By 2011 it had dropped to four. Brown thought: somehow swallows had become harder to kill.
By measuring the birds’ wings, he saw that the swallows killed by cars usually had longer wings than the ones he caught alive. Brown knew what this meant: The traffic was weeding clumsier, long-winged swallows from the population and favoring the quicker, short-winged ones — Darwinian selection in action.
“Long ago,” Brown said, “cliff swallows lived mostly apart from humans. Now, they are so much a part of our world that our roads and bridges have changed their very genes.” The cliff swallows became rare winners in a world of concrete and steel. But this success came with a cost — the loss of the long-winged swallows and a permanent change to the birds’ nature. They had been shaped, forever, by the road.
4. What does the underlined part “retreat from” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Avoids. B. Expands C. Erases. D. Reduces.
5. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A. By providing data. B. By extending a definition.
C. By giving examples. D. By making a classification.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly talking about?
A. Backgrounds of a study. B. Reasons for a phenomenon.
C. Theories of natural selection. D. Assumptions about an experiment.
7. What did cliff swallows’ survival cost them?
A. Their genes became abnormal.
B. Their population declined sharply.
C. They were edged out of Great Plains.
D. Long-winged swallows were weeded out.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了崖燕在人类活动影响下的生存情况及其基因变化。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中划线词所在句“Unlike most wildlife that retreat from human footprint, the cliff swallow has survived alongside it. (与大多数retreat from人类足迹的野生动物不同,崖燕一直与人类共存。)”可知,崖燕能与人类共存,而大多数野生动物则相反,会“躲避”人类活动痕迹。“retreats from”为“避开,远离”之意,与“Avoid”意思相近。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“He’d collected twenty dead birds in 1984, when the project began, and twenty more in 1985 and 1986. Then the trend line went downward: fifteen in 1989, thirteen in 1991, eight in 2002. By 2011 it had dropped to four. (1984年项目开始时,他收集了20只死鸟,1985年和1986年又收集了20只。然后趋势线开始下降:1989年15只,1991年13只,2002年8只。到2011年,这一数字已经降至4只。)”可知,本段主要是通过提供数据来说明崖燕被车辆撞死的数量在逐年减少。故选A项。
【6题详解】
段落大意题。根据第四段中“By measuring the birds’ wings, he saw that the swallows killed by cars usually had longer wings than the ones he caught alive. Brown knew what this meant: The traffic was weeding clumsier, long-winged swallows from the population and favoring the quicker, short-winged ones — Darwinian selection in action. (通过测量鸟的翅膀,他发现被车撞死的崖燕的翅膀通常比他活捉的崖燕的翅膀要长。布朗知道这意味着什么:交通正在从种群中淘汰那些笨拙的长翼崖燕,而青睐那些更快、短翼的崖燕——达尔文的选择正在起作用。)”可知,本段主要解释了为什么崖燕被车撞死的数量在减少,即交通对崖燕种群进行了自然选择,使得短翼崖燕更适应环境。故选B项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But this success came with a cost — the loss of the long-winged swallows and a permanent change to the birds’ nature. (但这种成功是有代价的——长翼崖燕的消失和鸟类本性的永久改变。)”可知,崖燕的生存是以长翼崖燕的消失为代价的。故选D项。
D
When thinking of a robot, you might picture something with a lot of sensors, and stiff metal arms controlled by a computer. But scientists at the AMOLF institute in the Netherlands have come up with a robot that has no brain and no sensors. And yet this robot can “walk” by itself. And if dropped into water, it swims.
How is this possible? The team behind the robot says the secret is in the science of how air moves. If you’ve seen a “tube dancer,” you’ve seen how this robot works. Tube dancers are tall, thin cloth tubes. High-pressure air fills the tube, making it stand. As it stands, air flows faster, dropping the pressure and causing a bend. The tube falls partway over. The bend slows the air, raising the pressure. The pumped air then pushes the bend up, making the dancer stand again.
The magic happens to the robot because there are several tubes hooked up to the same air supply. When the air starts to flow, the tubes move in different ways. But very quickly, all of these “legs” start to move in exactly the same way, making the robot walk. The air pressure controls how fast the robot moves.
There are several remarkable things about the robot. First, it can cover a distance equal to thirty of its body lengths in a second. That would be like the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, running the 100-meter race in seconds. It can also go over uneven ground. If it bumps into a wall, it automatically turns. Perhaps most surprising is the fact that if the robot is dropped into water, it begins moving in a new way that allows it to swim.
So far, almost all of the robot’s skills are things that it just does automatically. The researchers hope to develop new ways to control the robot and perhaps give it more skills in the future.
32. What distinguishes the new robot from traditional ones?
A. Its shape and adaptability.
B. Its simplicity and automaticity.
C. Its intelligence and sensitivity.
D. Its appearance and controllability.
33. Why is the “tube dance” mentioned?
A. To clarify the uniqueness of the robot.
B. To predict the application of the robot.
C. To introduce the structure of the robot.
D. To illustrate the mechanism of the robot.
34. What determines the speed of the robot?
A. The number of the tubes.
B. The way the tubes move.
C. The type of the air supply.
D. The air pressure in the tube.
35. Which is a remarkable feature of the robot?
A. It can fly like the fastest human.
B. It can handle tough road conditions.
C. It can detect barriers that block its way.
D. It can keep its walking mode underwater.

66 【答案】Dear Tom,
Thank you for your letter and warm congratulations on my honor.
The Student of the Month is a monthly activity in our school. It is held to praise outstanding students who perform excellently in studies or public activities. I won this title mainly because I organized a charity book donation for children in poor mountain areas last month. We collected over 200 books, and my work was widely praised by teachers and classmates. This award means a lot to me and I will keep trying.
Thank you for your letter!
Best wishes,
Li Hua
67.【答案】One possible version:
One week before the competition, David wanted to give up again. “Maybe I should quit,” he whispered. “So many students are better than me.” Linda understood his fear went beyond financial worries. She remembered the writer’s story she had shared before. “Like that writer we discussed,” she said gently, “true success comes from overcoming our self-doubts, not just winning.” David thought about her words, and slowly, the worry in his eyes began to fade. He returned to writing with renewed determination.
At the award ceremony, when the winners were announced, Linda stood up and clapped. David’s essay “The Light Within” won first prize! Although Linda’s name wasn’t among the winners, her heart was filled with genuine joy for David’s achievement and pride in their shared effort. On stage, David said gratefully, “Thank you, Linda, for showing me that our circumstances don’t define us it’s our courage to try that matters most.” Seeing David’s bright smile, Linda knew this was more than just winning—it was about a young person finding his voice and believing in himself.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了转学生David是一个家境困难但热爱文学的高二学生,是学校文学社中沉默寡言的一员,他因担心给父母增加负担而不敢参加需付费的写作比赛。同学Linda发现他的才华后主动分享书籍并鼓励他,得知他因害怕失败而自我苛责,便以共同学习、不计结果的方式安慰他,最终帮助David走出心结,两人一起为比赛做准备。
【详解】1、段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“比赛前一周,David又想放弃了。”可知,第一段可描写Linda如何安抚David,以及David重新振作准备比赛。
②由第二段首句内容“在颁奖典礼上,当宣布获奖者时,Linda站起来鼓掌。”可知,第二段可描写David获得一等奖,Linda由衷为他感到高兴,以及各自的感悟。
2、续写线索:想要放弃——安抚——重新振作——获奖——高兴——感悟。

On an early winter morning,a small group of students and tourists were taking pictures of the horses
with their phones.These horses,known locally as takhi and globally as Przewalski's horse,are unique.
They are the only type that has never been trained and they are the fruits of one of the most successful ever
wildlife reintroduction plans of Hustai National Park.
"Horses are key to our culture.Everyone is glad to have them back,"says Dashpurey with a smile,
who is in charge of Hustai National Park.Once hunted to extinction in the wild in the 1960s,Przewalski's
horses now number nearly 1,000,at three sites across Mongolia,as well as in China and Kazakhstan.The
largest population-numbering 423-is in central Mongolia's Hustai National Park.These horses are
descendants (of 84 animals that were airlifted from European zoos in the 1990s.
"Before the reintroduction,no one believed we could save this species,"recalls Dashpurev.Now,the
International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)has downgraded Przewalski's horse from
"critically endangered"to"endangered",marking a significant milestone in their recovery.
However,despite this success story,Mongolia faces numerous challenges in protecting its other
species.Besides hunting,the climate emergency is putting more pressure.Temperatures are nising three
times faster than the global average,bringing more extreme weather events that wipe out large numbers of
animals.
Faced with this crisis,the government has taken actions to protect wild areas.In 1998,Mongolia
promised to protect 30%of its territory by 2030-a goal adopted by 100 other countries in 2021.So far it
is on 21%.Last year,the president launched a drive to plant 1 billion trees by 2030 and tough fines have
had success in stopping illegal hunting.
Yet these efforts are hamstrung (by a lack of funding."The government wants to grow the
economy.That's the key thing for them,so they are putting a lot of effort into agriculture and mining,"says
Buuveibaatar,a scientist at the Wildlife Conservation Society,"Wildlife is ignored.As a result,some of its
conservation areas are paper parks.The Przewalski's horse reintroduction plan is an example of how to
save wildlife.Now,the challenge lies in introducing this success to the rest of the country's other wildlife."
24.Why are these horses unique according to the passage?
A.They are airlifted from European zoos.
B.They are successfully introduced species
C.They are the only true wild horse species.
D.They can only be photographed in Mongolia.
3
25.What was the public's attitude towards saving these horses before the reintroduction?
A.Relieved.B.Supportive.
C.Uninterested.
D.Doubtful
26.Why is the climate emergency mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A.To introduce the reasons for wildlife extinction
B.To explain its influence on wildlife in Mongolia.
C.To stress the challenges facing wildlife protection
D.To express the author's feelings about the extinction.
27.What does Buuveibaatar imply in the last paragraph?
A.Hustai National Park provides a positive model.
B.The government's focus should be the economy.
C.Other countries can help by following the footsteps
D.The Przewalski's horse is the only one worth saving.

If you have ever driven coast to coast across the United States,chances are that you have passed
beneath the flight of a fearless songbird,the cliff swallow ()Unlike most wildlife that retreat from
human footprint,the cliff swallow has survived alongside it.Originally a bird of the westem mountains,it
has,over the past century,colonized the Great Plains,building its mud nests beneath bridges-wonders of
natural engineering like our own.
For nearly forty years,researcher Charles Brown has conducted annual surveys of hundreds of these
nesting colonies in Nebraska,seeking to understand the dynamics of swallow society.He has found that in
western Nebraska,most cliff swallows live within a stone's throw of a road.
This choice of habitat is,of course,exceptionally dangerous.When Brown began studying swallows in
the 1980s,he often picked up dead swallows on the roads.In 2012,however,Brown suddenly found,
though,there was virtually no roadkill to be found.He'd collected twenty dead birds in 1984,when the
project began,and twenty more in 1985 and 1986.Then the trend line went downward:fifteen in 1989,
thirteen in 1991,eight in 2002.By 2011 it had dropped to four.Brown thought:somehow swallows had
become harder to kill.
By measuring the birds'wings,he saw that the swallows killed by cars usually had longer wings than
the ones he caught alive.Brown knew what this meant:The traffic was weeding clumsier,long-winged
swallows from the population and favoring the quicker,short-winged ones-Darwinian selection in
action.
"Long ago,"Brown said,"cliff swallows lived mostly apart from humans.Now,they are so much a
part of our world that our roads and bridges have changed their very genes."The cliff swallows became
rare winners in a world of concrete and steel.But this success came with a cost-the loss of the
long-winged swallows and a permanent change to the birds'nature.They had been shaped,forever,by the
road.
28.What does the underlined part"retreat from"in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Avoids.
B.Expands
C.Erases.
D.Reduces.
29.How is paragraph 3 mainly developed?
4
A.By providing data.
B.By extending a definition.
C.By giving examples.
D.By making a classification.
30.What is paragraph 4 mainly talking about?
A.Backgrounds of a study.
B.Reasons for a phenomenon.
C.Theories of natural selection
D.Assumptions about an experiment.
31.What did cliff swallows'survival cost them?
A.Their genes became abnormal.
B.Their population declined sharply.
C.They were edged out of Great Plains.
D.Long-winged swallows were weeded out.

When thinking of a robot,you might picture something with a lot of sensors,and stiff metal arms
controlled by a computer.But scientists at the AMOLF institute in the Netherlands have come up with a
robot that has no brain and no sensors.And yet this robot can"walk"by itself.And if dropped into water,it
swims.
How is this possible?The team behind the robot says the secret is in the science of how air moves.If
you've seen a "tube dancer,"you've seen how this robot works.Tube dancers are tall,thin cloth tubes.
High-pressure air fills the tube,making it stand.As it stands,air flows faster,dropping the pressure and
causing a bend.The tube falls partway over.The bend slows the air,raising the pressure.The pumped air
then pushes the bend up,making the dancer stand again.
The magic happens to the robot because there are several tubes hooked up to the same air supply.
When the air starts to flow,the tubes move in different ways.But very quickly,all of these "legs"start to
move in exactly the same way,making the robot walk.The air pressure controls how fast the robot moves.
There are several remarkable things about the robot.First,it can cover a distance equal to thirty of its
body lengths in a second.That would be like the world's fastest man,Usain Bolt,running the 100-meter
race in seconds.It can also go over uneven ground.If it bumps into a wall,it automatically turns.Perhaps
most surprising is the fact that if the robot is dropped into water,it begins moving in a new way that allows
it to swim.
So far,almost all of the robot's skills are things that it just does automatically.The researchers hope to
develop new ways to control the robot and perhaps give it more skills in the future
32.What distinguishes the new robot from traditional ones?
A.Its shape and adaptability.
B.Its simplicity and automaticity.
C.Its intelligence and sensitivity.
D.Its appearance and controllability.
33.Why is the "tube dance"mentioned?
A.To clarify the uniqueness of the robot
B.To predict the application of the robot.
C.To introduce the structure of the robot.
D.To illustrate the mechanism of the robot.
34.What determines the speed of the robot?
A.The number of the tubes.
B.The way the tubes move.
C.The type of the air supply
D.The air pressure in the tube.
35.Which is a remarkable feature of the robot?
A.It can fly like the fastest human.
B.It can handle tough road conditions.
C.It can detect barriers that block its way.
D.It can keep its walking mode underwater.

67.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In her second year of high school,Linda met a transfer student named David in the school literature
club.The quiet boy always sat in the corner,his eyes showing a sadness that didn't match his age.He loved
reading but never participated in activities that required money.
"Class,we'll have a campus writing competition next week,"the literature teacher announced one
day."Winners will enter the city competition and receive writing guides."Linda felt excited,but noticed
David looking down,his fingers moving nervously.
After school,Linda found David reading in the library."Let's join the competition!"she said warmly.
David shook his head."I can't.""Why?You write beautifully!"Linda insisted.David closed his old
notebook and answered,"It needs money for books...My parents work hard away from home.
Their teacher later told Linda more:David's family struggled financially.He never asked for
anything."He's too hard on himself,"the teacher said."He wants to join but fears failing and disappointing
his parents.”
The next day,Linda brought her books to David."We can share these.I've read about writers who
overcame difficulties-their stories inspire me.Once we become famous writers,we can earn a lot of
money!"Encouraged by her words,David finally agreed.
While preparing,Linda often shared stories of famous writers'struggles.David showed great writing
talent but was too strict with himself.He often asked,"Am I wasting your time?""Of course not,"Linda
reassured him with a smile."I'm not a talented writer either,and-I joined just for the experience,not
expecting to win.So please,don't overthink it."
注意:1、续写词数应为150个左右;
