一、阅读理解
Passage A
In the heart of the Pacific Ocean lies a mysterious and fragile world:the deep sea.For centuries,humans
have been fascinated by the ocean's depths,yet we have explored less than 20%ofit.However,as
technology advances,scientists are now able to investigate this hidden realm more thoroughly.From the
hadal zone in deep-sea trenches to hydrothermal vents,these extreme environments are home to some of
the most extraordinary creatures on Earth
One of the most surprising discoveries in recent decades has been the existence of ecosystems around
hydrothermal vents.These vents,often found along mid-ocean ridges,release superheated water rich in
minerals.Despite the complete absence of sunlight,these areas teem with life.Giant tube worms,clams,
and various types of shrimp thrive there,relying on chemosynthesis-a process where bacteria convert
chemicals from the vents into energy.This challenged the long-held belief that all life depends on
sunlight.
However,this unique biodiversity is now under threat.Deep-sea mining for valuable minerals like cobalt,
nickel,and rare earth elements is becoming increasingly attractive to industries.These metals are essential
for manufacturing batteries,electronics,and renewable energy technologies.Mining operations would
involve removing large areas of the seabed,which could destroy habitats that have taken thousands of
years to develop.Scientists wam that we know very little about these ecosystems,and such activities
could lead to ireversible damage.
Environmental organizations are calling for a moratorium-a temporary halton deep-sea mining until
more research is conducted.They argue that the potential economic benefits cannot justify the
environmental risks.On the other hand,some governments and companies push forward with
exploration,emphasizing the need for resources to support the green energy transition.They claim that
mining can be done responsibly,with minimal impact,using advanced technology.
The debate is ongoing,and the world watches closely.As we stand at the edge of a new era of ocean
exploration,the decisions we make today will determine the fate of the deep sea for generations to come.
()1.What challenge did the discovery of hydrothermal vent ecosystems present to scientists?
A.The absence of sunlight made research impossible.
B.The creatures found there were not real.
C.It contradicted the belief that life requires sunlight.
D.The vents were too deep to study properly.
()2.What is the primary danger posed by deep-sea mining according to the text?
A.It may increase the cost ofrenewable energy.
B.It could destroy ancient and slow-growing habitats.
C.It would use up all the minerals quickly.
D.It might cause earthquakes.
()3.What does the underlined word "moratorium"in Paragraph 4 most likely mean?
A.A complete ban.
B.A temporary stop.
C.A new regulation.
D.Aresearch project.
()4.What can be inferred about the author's attitude toward deep-sea mining?
A.Strongly supportive.
B.Completely indifferent.
C.Cautiously concerned.
D.Highly enthusiastic.
Passage B
The concept of"rewilding"has gained significant attention in recent years as a promising approach to
restoring ecosystems.Unlike traditional conservation,which often focuses on protecting specific species
or habitats,rewilding aims to restore entire ecological processes.This often involves reintroducing
keystone species-animals that have a disproportionately large effect on their environment-to bring
balance back to degraded landscapes.
One of the most famous examples of rewilding is the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National
Park in the United States in 1995.After wolves were eliminated from the park in the 1920s,the elk
population exploded.Overgrazing by elk caused serious damage to vegetation,particularly young trees
and shrubs.This,in turn,affected other species,such as beavers,which depend on trees for building
dams.When wolves were brought back,they not only controlled the elk population but also changed
their behavior.Elks began to avoid certain areas,allowing vegetation to recover.The regrowth of trees
and shrubs created habitats for birds and beavers.Streams changed course,and the entire ecosystem
became more resilient.This phenomenon is known as a "trophic cascade."
Rewilding projects are now being considered or implemented in many parts of the world.In Europe,for
example,the reintroduction of the Eurasian lynx is being debated.In the Netherlands,a nature reserve is
being created to allow large herbivores like horses and cattle to roam freely.However,rewilding is not
without controversy.Critics point out that it can be difficult to predict the outcomes.In some cases,
reintroduced species may come into conflict with human activities,such as farming.Additionally,the
public may have safety concerns about large predators.
Supporters argue that with careful planning,these risks can be managed.They emphasize that rewilding
is not about recreating the past but about creating a self-sustaining,biodiverse future.It represents a shift
from managing nature in a hands-on way to allowing natural processes to take the lead.As human
pressures on the environment continue to grow,rewilding offers a hopeful vision of coexistence.
()1.What is the main difference between rewilding and traditional conservation?
A.Rewilding focuses on individual species.
B.Traditional conservation aims to restore entire ecosystems.
C.Rewilding aims to restore natural processes.
D.Traditional conservation is more controversial
()2.What was the immediate effect of wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone?
A.The beaver population disappeared.
B.The elk population grew rapidly.
C.The elk population was controlled.
D.The vegetation was completely destroyed
()3.What is"trophic cascade"according to the text?
A.A rapid rise in river water level.
B.A chain of effects throughout an ecosystem
C.A process that only involves predators.
D.A method of introducing new species
()4.For what reason do some people oppose rewilding projects?
A.They are too expensive.
B.They might disrupt human activities.
C.They always fail.
D.They require too much land

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences
In recent years,the relationship between humans and animals has come under increasing scrutiny,
particularly regarding the ethics of keeping animals in captivity.While zoos and aquariums have
historically been places of entertainment,modemn institutions often claim a dual purpose:conservation and
education.However,the debate over whether these facilities truly benefit animals or simply exploit them
is far from settled.
Proponents of modemn zoos argue that they play a critical role in protecting endangered species.Many
zoos are involved in breeding programs for animals that are on the brink of extinction in the wild.For
example,the Califomnia condor was saved from the brink of extinction in the 1980s through a captive
breeding program.Zoo staff also conduct valuable research on animal behavior,health,and genetics,
which can inform wild conservation efforts.Furthermore,zoos offer millions of visitors the chance to see
animals up close,which can inspire a sense of wonder and a desire to protect wildlife.
On the other hand,critics contend that the ethical costs of captivity are too high.They argue that no
matter how well-designed a zoo enclosure is,it cannot replicate the complexity of an animal's natural
habitat.Wild animals,particularly large mammals like elephants and polar bears,often exhibit signs of
stress in captivity,such as repetitive pacing-a behavior known as"stereotypy."These critics believe that
our efforts should be focused on protecting habitats in the wild rather than creating artificial environments
They also point out that many zoos prioritize profit and entertainment over animal welfare.
The rise of virtual reality and high-quality nature documentaries offers an altemative.These tools can
provide immersive experiences of the natural world without removing animals from their homes.Some
experts suggest that we should move away from traditional zoos and invest more in technology and in-
situ conservation-protecting species in their own environments.
The question is not simply whether zoos are good or bad,but how we can best serve the interests of both
wildlife and humanity.As we leam more about animal cognition and emotions,our moral responsibilities
become clearer.The future of zoos may lie in a transformation into centers for true rehabilitation and
rewilding,rather than permanent homes for displaced animals
1.According to the passage,what is the "dual purpose"claimed by modemn zoos?
2.What specific example is given to show how zoos help protect endangered species?
3.What is "stereotypy"and what does it indicate?
4.What altemative to zoos does the passage mention?

Dear Tom,
I'm glad to hear from you and I'm happy to share my thoughts on wildlife protection.
Wildlife today faces many threats,especially habitat loss caused by deforestation and urban expansion.
Illegal hunting is also a serious problem,pushing many species towards extinction.
In my opinion,we must take effective measures.Firstly,governments should establish more nature
reserves to protect natural habitats.Secondly,stricter laws should be made to fight against poaching and
illegal wildlife trade.Education is also important.By leaming about the importance of wildlife,people
will be more willing to protect it.
We all share the same planet.It is high time that everyone took action to protect wild animals.Even small
contributions can make a big difference.
