(2026·郑州二模)Duncan Jurman became interested in butterflies when he was around 5 years old.He noticed a couple of caterpillars (毛虫) in his backyard and was attracted by the different ways that caterpillars can disguise (伪装) themselves to stay safe in potentially dangerous surroundings.From there, he started to learn more about caterpillars and butterflies.
Jurman believes that butterflies play a crucial role in our ecosystems.They're very low on the food web, so they support a lot of different species that rely on them.They're an indicator species for the health of the environment.Once they disappear, everything else is soon to follow.
Jurman's goal is to transform the landscape of Florida's Broward County by turning a weedy suburb into a lively butterfly reserve at a time when insect populations are decreasing quickly worldwide.Jurman believes that every flower planted is a potential home and source of food for caterpillars and butterflies.He eventually developed a butterfly-friendly garden in his backyard by researching the different plants that butterflies prefer.He has already raised and released more than 5,000 butterflies from his garden.
Jurman also launched the Bring Butterflies Back campaign to educate people about butterflies and invite them to join his cause of protecting butterflies.He said that a lot of people are surprised to learn that insects are declining at such an alarming rate, largely because the decline has been so gradual.This phenomenon helps to explain why people are unwilling to take meaningful actions to save the environment.
In 2018, Jurman helped to build a butterfly garden at his high school.The garden has had a regenerative effect on the surrounding environment—birds, native lizards, and other insects have returned in great numbers.Other schools have been inspired to start gardens.“I don't know if we can ever reach the point that we were once at with butterflies, but I think that if everyone gets involved and starts their own garden, they can make their own impact,” Jurman said.

(2026·湛江二模)In India, tigers haven't just survived—they've made a comeback.Despite a growing population and increasing pressure on their habitats, the number of wild tigers is rising.The reason? A combination of ecological restoration, economic initiatives, and political stability.And just as important: a deeply rooted reverence for tigers that has fostered a culture where humans and large predators (捕食性动物) coexist.
India's tiger conservation strategy combines two approaches: some areas are strictly protected reserves, while others are multi-use landscapes where tigers and people share space.And this isn't just for the benefit of the tigers.
“The advantage of combining these two methods is that reserves act as a source of tigers for surrounding areas. And if coexistence no longer works, the reserves provide a fallback (应变的) option—ensuring that tigers are not at risk of extinction,” explains Ninad Mungi, assistant professor at Aarhus University and co-author of the study.
According to researchers, human population density alone is not what determines whether tigers can thrive—it's people's lifestyles, economic conditions, and cultural attitudes that shape their willingness to share space with large predators.
In relatively prosperous regions where ecotourism and government compensation schemes generate income, tolerance for tigers is much higher. In fact, for some Indian farmers, losing cattle to a tiger does not essentially spell disaster.Farmers who keep their livestock in barns and enclosures are rarely affected by tigers.However, when cattle are released to graze in tiger-inhabited areas, and if a tiger eats one, the farmer receives financial compensation from the government—turning a loss into a gain.
India's model could provide valuable insights far beyond its borders.In Europe, many countries are struggling with wolves attacking livestock, and India's experience may inspire new approaches that protect both wildlife and farmers' livelihoods.
“There are, of course, cultural challenges, but culture can change over time.India's experience proves that large predators can survive in a modern world—if we are willing to think creatively and find a balance between protection and coexistence,” says Ninad.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了印度通过综合保护策略与文化共存促进野生老虎数量增长的成功案例,并为其他国家提供了借鉴经验。
5.Which of the following can explain the increase in wild tigers in India?
A.Reduced human disturbance.
B.New tiger breeding programs.

D.Enhanced ecological conditions.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The reason...and large predators coexist.”可知,印度的野生老虎的数量增加是多种因素共同作用的结果。
6.What is the benefit of combining two approaches to tiger conservation?
A.It promotes local ecotourism.
B.It ensures the survival of tigers.
C.It offers more land for farmers.
D.It increases the number of tigers in zoos.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The advantage of...risk of extinction”可知,将这两种方法结合起来的好处是确保老虎的生存。
7.How might a farmer feel about his cattle being eaten by a tiger?
A.Unworried. B.Depressed.
C.Terrified. D.Unfortunate.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第五段中的“In fact, for some Indian farmers...a loss into a gain.”可推知,当农民的牛被老虎吃掉时,他们会得到政府的补偿,所以他们不会担心。
8.What does Ninad think of India's ways of tiger conservation?
A.They are ineffective. B.They are traditional.
C.They are contradictory. D.They are innovative.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,尼纳德认为印度的经验证明了大型捕食性动物可以在现代世界生存,前提是人们愿意创造性地思考并在保护和共存之间找到平衡,由此可推知,尼纳德认为印度保护老虎的方法是创新的。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2026·河北高三下学期冲刺考试)
How to Ensure Wild Animals' Rights to
Live Wild and Free
Often, wild animals are seen as goods to be used, rather than living beings who can feel fear and pain.1.________ 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.They are fed, raised and sold for human greed and exploitation.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 are all 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 kind 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 it.
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 monitor allows for 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.
