Dogs, cats, lions or another kind? How much do you know about the animals that live with us in the world? 1 Animals are much more than food or pets for humans. Animals are smart. Some of them do very unusual things. 2 For example, chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use sticks to get white ants out of the ground. They even teach each other how to use tools. Scientists find that animals have their own ways to communicate. Did you know dolphins use ultrasound (超声波) to communicate? 3 They also learn to tell the difference between the sound of their own group and that of other groups. Animals have societies, too. Let’s take ants as an example. 4 Some ants are strong enough to fight against enemies (敌人). Some take care of babies. Others go out to look for food. They have organizations that make the group work well. 5 Long ago, people used pigeons (鸽子) to send mail over long distances. Dogs have been best friends to humans since ancient times. Nowadays some dogs are even trained to guide blind people. Dogs also use their noses to search out drugs for the police. A．Birds learn to sing from their parents. B．Animals can help humans in many ways. C．An ant family usually has millions of ants. D．There are about 16,000 kinds of ants in the world. E．Research shows that animals can use tools (工具). F．Do you know that the earth is home to millions of animals? G．Take a look here and you will find amazing stories about them. 长难句解析 1. 原句：（第三段第四句）They also learn to tell the difference between the sound of their own group and that of other groups. 译文：它们还学会了区分自己群体的声音和其他群体的声音。 分析：主干是 They also learn to tell the difference。between the sound of their own group and that of other groups 是介词短语作定语，修饰 difference。that 在此处作代词，代指 the sound，以避免重复。tell the difference between A and B 意为“区分A和B”。 2.原句：（第四段第四句）Some ants are strong enough to fight against enemies. 译文：有些蚂蚁足够强壮，能够对抗敌人。 分析：主干是 Some ants are strong enough，to fight against enemies 是不定式作结果状语，与 enough 搭配。adj./adv. + enough + to do 是固定句型，意为“足够……以至于能做某事”。fight against 意为“与……战斗/对抗”。 3.原句：（第四第六句）They have organizations that make the group work well. 译文：它们有着让整个群体良好运转的组织。 分析：主干是 They have organizations，that make the group work well 是定语从句修饰 organizations。定语从句中，make the group work well 是 make + 宾语 + 动词原形（作宾补） 结构，意为“使……做……”，work 前省略了 to。 译文 你最喜欢哪种动物？狗、猫、狮子还是别的？你对我们这个世界上与我们生活在一起的动物了解多少？ 你知道吗，地球是数百万种动物的家园？ 动物远不止是人类的食物或宠物。动物很聪明。有些动物会做一些非常不寻常的事情。 研究表明，动物能够使用工具。 例如，黑猩猩用树枝把白蚁从地里掏出来。它们甚至会互相教如何使用工具。 科学家发现动物有自己的交流方式。你知道海豚使用超声波进行交流吗？ 鸟类从小鸟父母那里学唱歌。它们还学会了区分自己群体的声音和其他群体的声音。 动物也有它们的社会。让我们以蚂蚁为例。 一个蚂蚁家族通常有数百万只蚂蚁。有些蚂蚁足够强壮，能够对抗敌人。有些照顾幼蚁。有些出去寻找食物。它们有着让整个群体良好运转的组织。 动物在许多方面都可以帮助人类。很久以前，人们用鸽子长途传递邮件。自古以来，狗一直是人类最好的朋友。如今，有些狗甚至被训练来引导盲人。狗还用它们的鼻子为警察搜寻毒品。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 chimpanzee /ˌtʃɪm.pænˈziː/ n. 黑猩猩 ultrasound /ˈʌl.trə.saʊnd/ n. 超声波 communicate /kəˈmjuː.nə.keɪt/ v. 交流；沟通 society /səˈsaɪ.ə.t̬i/ n. 社会；群体 organization /ˌɔːr.ɡə.nəˈzeɪ.ʃən/ n. 组织；机构 distance /ˈdɪs.təns/ n. 距离 drug /drʌɡ/ n. 毒品；药物 tell the difference /tel ðə ˈdɪf.ər.əns/ 短语 区分；辨别差异 fight against /faɪt əˈɡenst/ 短语 与……斗争/对抗 PassageB Fish Memory: More Than Seven Seconds It’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t recognize you or any of their friends—every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time. But a new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. Actually, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long time the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This showed that they could remember their past experiences. In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence before. Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to live in the wild. “If fish are able to remember a certain area with safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science. For a long time fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins, elephants, monkeys, dogs and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence. 1．According to the article, people commonly believe that ________. A．fish don’t recognize any of their friends B．a fish’s memory lasts for only seven minutes C．fish can only remember part of their past experiences D．fish can remember things that happened long time ago 2．What does the underlined word “monitor” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Create. B．Change. C．Control. D．Check. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Only African cichlids have a good memory. B．African cichlids always treat others aggressively. C．African cichlids may remember things for 12 days. D．African cichlids belonged to the list of smart animals. 4．How can fish benefit most from a good memory? A．They can remember their enemies and fight. B．They can remember where to get food and live. C．They can remember their friends and help each other. D．They can remember where to escape when in danger. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Fish Are Not as Smart as Chimpanzees B．The Seven-Second Memory Myth of Fish C．How to Train Fish to Remember Food D．A Study on African Cichlids’ Behavior 长难句解析 1.原句：（第一段第二句）It may seem that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they've been, and they don't recognize you or any of their friends—every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time. 译文：看起来它们似乎不记得自己吃过什么或去过哪里，也不认识你或它们的任何朋友——它们生命中的每一个时刻都像是第一次看到这个世界。 分析：It seems that... 意为“似乎……”。what 和 where 分别引导宾语从句，在从句中作宾语和地点状语。for the first time 意为“第一次”。 2.原句：（第二段第五句）They found that after such a long time the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. 译文：他们发现，过了这么长时间，鱼仍然会去它们第一次获得食物的同一个地方。 分析：主干是 They found that...，that 引导宾语从句。从句中，after such a long time 作时间状语，the fish still went to the same place 是主句，where they first got food 是定语从句修饰 the same place。宾语从句中包含一个定语从句。where 引导定语从句，在从句中作地点状语。such a long time 中 such 修饰名词短语。 3.原句：（第四段第二句）If fish are able to remember a certain area with safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk. 译文：如果鱼能够记住某个有安全食物的区域，它们就能回到那个区域，而不会将生命置于危险之中。 分析：If 引导条件状语从句，主句是 they will be able to go back to that area。without putting their lives at risk 是介词短语作伴随状语。be able to 表示“能够”，强调能力。without doing 意为“没有做……”，在此表示“不会……”。put... at risk 意为“使……处于危险中”。 译文 鱼类记忆：不止七秒 人们普遍认为鱼的记忆只能持续七秒。看起来它们似乎不记得自己吃过什么或去过哪里，也不认识你或它们的任何朋友——它们生命中的每一个时刻都像是第一次看到这个世界。 但一项新的研究发现，鱼的记忆力比我们过去认为的要好得多。实际上，某些种类的鱼甚至能记住长达12天前的事情。在这项研究中，加拿大麦克文大学的研究人员训练一种叫做非洲慈鲷的鱼游到鱼缸的特定区域去获取食物。然后他们等了12天，再把它们放回鱼缸。研究人员使用计算机软件来监测鱼的活动。他们发现，过了这么长时间，鱼仍然会去它们第一次获得食物的同一个地方。这表明它们能够记住过去的经历。 事实上，科学家们长期以来一直认为非洲慈鲷可能有很好的记忆力。一项更早的研究表明，它们在特定鱼类面前表现得具有攻击性，也许是因为它们记得过去与对方的“争斗”。但在最新的研究结果之前，一直没有明确的证据。 正如好的记忆力能让我们的生活更轻松一样，它在鱼类尝试在野外生存时也起着重要作用。“如果鱼能够记住某个有安全食物的区域，它们就能回到那个区域，而不会将生命置于危险之中，”首席研究员特雷弗·汉密尔顿告诉《生活科学》杂志。 长期以来，在聪明动物的排行榜上，鱼一直排在黑猩猩、海豚、大象、猴子、狗和老鼠之后。但这项研究让科学家们对它们的智力有了新的认识。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 memory /ˈmem.ər.i/ n. 记忆力；记忆 species /ˈspiː.ʃiːz/ n. 物种；种类（单复数同形） tank /tæŋk/ n. 水槽；鱼缸 monitor /ˈmɑː.nɪ.t̬ɚ/ v. 监测；监控（作动词） evidence /ˈev.ə.dəns/ n. 证据；根据 aggressive /əˈɡres.ɪv/ adj. 好斗的；有攻击性的 behave /bɪˈheɪv/ v. 表现；举止 wild /waɪld/ n./adj. 野生环境；野生的 intelligence /ɪnˈtel.ə.dʒəns/ n. 智力；智慧 recognize /ˈrek.əɡ.naɪz/ v. 认出；识别 certain /ˈsɜːr.tən/ adj. 某些；确定的 researcher /rɪˈsɜːr.tʃɚ/ n. 研究人员 lead /liːd/ n./v. 首席的；领导（文中作形容词，意为“首席的”） put... at risk /pʊt æt rɪsk/ 短语 使……处于危险之中 for the first time /fɔːr ðə fɜːrst taɪm/ 短语 第一次 1.

(海洋生物并不奇怪——它们只是一种我们刚刚开始理解的、不同形态的美。) Passage1 Scientists are creating robots that can be used in many different areas of life. Recently a new kind of robot which looks like a penguin has been developed. The penguin robot helps scientists get closer to emperor penguins (帝企鹅) to know more about their behaviour (行为). Emperor penguins are famous as shy animals. They usually feel nervous and run away when scientists go towards them. This will cause problems to their hearts. To solve it, a team of scientists created a remote control vehicle (遥控车). This vehicle allowed the scientists to study the penguins from over 200 metres away. It could move up to the penguins slowly and quietly without making them run away. It was also used to help make the documentary (纪录片) March of the Penguins. The scientists still wanted to watch emperor penguins much closer. After trying many times, they developed their latest robot which was like a little grey penguin. It had four black wheels, two black arms and a black-and-white painted face. The wheels were prepared for the robot to walk on the thick snow easily. This new robot didn’t scare (惊吓) the penguins. They even sang songs to welcome the robot and listened for a response. But the penguins were very unhappy when there was no answer. The scientists didn’t programme (编写程序) the penguin robot to make a sound. Next time they will have the robot sing songs. Thanks to the robots, scientists could do much more research on emperor penguins. 1．Why was the penguin robot developed? A．To know about scientists’ heart problems. B．To help scientists walk on the thick snow. C．To learn about emperor penguins’ behaviour. D．To help emperor penguins look for more food. 2．How do emperor penguins feel when scientists go towards them? A．Sad. B．Angry. C．Excited. D．Nervous. 3．What does the word “response” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Plan. B．Answer. C．Lesson. D．Reason. 4．What will the penguin robot do next time according to the passage? A．Sing songs. B．Swim in the sea. C．Take photos. D．Dance on the snow. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．Penguins in the film. B．Penguins in the zoo. C．Robots for daily housework. D．Robots for studying penguins. 长难句解析 1.原句：（第一段第二句）Recently a new kind of robot which looks like a penguin has been developed. 译文：  最近，一种看起来像企鹅的新型机器人被研发出来了。 分析：主干是 a new kind of robot has been developed。which looks like a penguin 是定语从句，修饰先行词 robot。has been developed 是现在完成时的被动语态，表示“已经被研发”。定语从句中 looks like 意为“看起来像”。 2.原句：（第二段第五句）This vehicle allowed the scientists to study the penguins from over 200 metres away. 译文：这种设备让科学家能够从200多米外研究企鹅。 分析：主干是 This vehicle allowed the scientists to study the penguins，from over 200 metres away 是介词短语作距离状语。allow sb. to do sth. 是固定句型，意为“允许某人做某事”。from... away 表示“从……远处”。over 在此处意为“超过”。 3.原句：（第三段第二句）After trying many times, they developed their latest robot which was like a little grey penguin. 译文：在尝试了很多次之后，他们研发出了最新的机器人，它像一只灰色的小企鹅。 分析： After trying many times 是介词短语作时间状语，主干是 they developed their latest robot，which was like a little grey penguin 是非限制性定语从句修饰 robot（限制性定语从句也成立，此处用逗号隔开表示补充说明）。After doing 表示“在做……之后”，介词后接动名词。develop 意为“研发、开发”。定语从句中 was like 意为“像……”。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 penguin /ˈpeŋ.ɡwɪn/ n. 企鹅 behaviour /bɪˈheɪ.vjɚ/ n. 行为；举止 remote control /rɪˈmoʊt kənˈtroʊl/ n.短语 遥控；遥控器 vehicle /ˈviː.ə.kəl/ n. 车辆；交通工具 documentary /ˌdɑː.kjəˈmen.tɚ.i/ n. 纪录片 thick /θɪk/ adj. 厚的；浓密的 response /rɪˈspɑːns/ n. 回应；反应 programme /ˈproʊ.ɡræm/ v. 编写程序；设定（作动词） research /rɪˈsɜːrtʃ/ n./v. 研究（名词/动词） scare /sker/ v. 使害怕；惊吓 latest /ˈleɪ.t̬ɪst/ adj. 最新的；最近的 allow... to do /əˈlaʊ tuː duː/ 短语 允许……做…… thanks to /θæŋks tuː/ 短语 多亏了；由于 move up to /muːv ʌp tuː/ 短语 向……移动靠近 Passage2 (2025·四川省遂宁市)In science museums, you usually see animal specimens (标本) lying silently. Now they are not quiet anymore. Thanks to AI, visitors to a museum in England can talk to them now. The museum works with an AI company so that it is possible for people and the natural world to communicate with each other. It brings 13 of its specimens back to life. Visitors only need to use their smartphones to scan the QR codes (二维码) next to the specimens to begin talking with them—either by text or voice. The animals will reply as if they’re still alive. This is a new way for people to learn about animals. The museum wants to see how this can help people connect with nature better. “This is just a try using AI technology in nature science. Will it help people know more about the specimen animals? Will it influence people’s opinions about them? For example, will people like the mouse better after hearing its voice? We are not sure.” said Jack Ashby, a worker of the museum. And you don’t have to speak English, by the way—the animals are multilingual. So no matter what languages you speak, the animals can talk to you in a way that’s easy for you to understand. The project engineers hope to make people care more about the biodiversity crisis (生物多样性危机). According to the most recent research, wildlife populations dropped by 69% between 1970 and 2018. And animals are dying out at a faster speed. Let’s hope the new technology will be both fun and helpful. 1．What does AI do in the science museum? A．It helps the animals to live longer. B．It helps the museum to make more money. C．It helps visitors to talk with the specimens. D．It helps the scientists to make specimens. 2．How does writer express his opinion in paragraph 5? A．By listing numbers. B．By comparing facts. C．By explaining reasons. D．By asking questions. 3．What does the underlined sentence “the animals are multilingual” mean in paragraph 6? A．The animals can’t speak any languages. B．The animals can speak only one language. C．The animals can speak two languages. D．The animals can speak several different languages. 4．Why does the museum work with the AI company? A．Because the museum hopes to make the number of animals increase. B．Because the museum wishes visitors to learn more about animals. C．Because the museum would like to help visitors communicate with each other. D．Because the museum wants to teach visitors how to use smartphones in the museum. 5．What does the writer hope new technology will be like? A．Interesting and useful. B．Cheap and smart. C．Smooth and safe. D．Convenient and fast. 长难句解析 1.原句：（第二段第一句）The museum works with an AI company so that it is possible for people and the natural world to communicate with each other. 译文：博物馆与一家人工智能公司合作，以便人类与自然界能够相互交流。 分析：主干是 The museum works with an AI company，so that 引导目的状语从句。从句中，it is possible for... to communicate 是 it 作形式主语的句型，真正的主语是 for people and the natural world to communicate with each other。so that 引导目的状语从句，意为“以便、为了”，从句中常用 can/could/may/might 等情态动词。it is possible for sb. to do 是固定句型，意为“对某人来说做某事是可能的”。 2.原句：（第三段第一句）Visitors only need to use their smartphones to scan the QR codes next to the specimens to begin talking with them—either by text or voice. 译文：参观者只需使用智能手机扫描标本旁边的二维码，就可以开始与它们交谈——通过文字或语音方式均可。 分析：主干是 Visitors need to use their smartphones。to scan the QR codes 是不定式作目的状语，next to the specimens 是介词短语作后置定语修饰 the QR codes，to begin talking with them 是不定式作目的状语。破折号后的内容是对交谈方式作补充说明。 3.原句：（第六段第二句）So no matter what languages you speak, the animals can talk to you in a way that's easy for you to understand. 译文：所以无论你说什么语言，这些动物都能以一种你容易理解的方式与你交谈。 分析：no matter what languages you speak 是让步状语从句，主干是 the animals can talk to you in a way，that's easy for you to understand 是定语从句修饰 a way。no matter what 引导让步状语从句，意为“无论什么”，相当于 whatever。定语从句 that's easy for you to understand 中，easy for you to understand 是“形容词 + 不定式”结构，不定式与主语 that（指代 a way）之间存在动宾关系。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 specimen /ˈspes.ə.mən/ n. 标本；样本 scan /skæn/ v. 扫描 QR code /ˌkjuːˈɑːr koʊd/ n.短语 二维码（Quick Response Code） communicate /kəˈmjuː.nə.keɪt/ v. 交流；沟通 technology /tekˈnɑː.lə.dʒi/ n. 技术；科技 influence /ˈɪn.flu.əns/ v./n. 影响（动词/名词） multilingual /ˌmʌl.tiˈlɪŋ.ɡwəl/ adj. 多语言的 project /ˈprɑː.dʒekt/ n. 项目；工程 engineer /ˌen.dʒɪˈnɪr/ n. 工程师 biodiversity /ˌbaɪ.oʊ.daɪˈvɜːr.sə.t̬i/ n. 生物多样性 crisis /ˈkraɪ.sɪs/ n. 危机 population /ˌpɑː.pjəˈleɪ.ʃən/ n. 种群；人口 wildlife /ˈwaɪld.laɪf/ n. 野生动物 die out /daɪ aʊt/ 短语 灭绝；消失 connect with /kəˈnekt wɪð/ 短语 与……建立联系 Passage 1 (2026·黑龙江省绥化市)In 1902, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott saw many big black-and-white birds at Ross Island, Antarctica (南极洲罗斯岛). It was the first home of emperor penguins (帝企鹅) ever found. Now, only 124 years after that place was discovered, emperor penguins have been listed as endangered wild animals. What makes them in such danger? Emperor penguins rely on “fast” ice—sea ice strongly connected to the land—for nine months of the year. It’s where the little penguins are born and grow until they have waterproof feathers (防水羽毛). It’s also a safe place for adults to moult (脱毛) every year. They stay on the ice while their swimming feathers grow back. But global warming has led to record-low levels of Antarctic sea ice since 2016. When sea ice breaks up early, the whole area can fall into the water. The little penguins that aren’t fully grown may have difficulty swimming out. Even if some penguins get out of the water, they’re completely wet and will freeze to death. The decrease in Antarctic sea ice has put emperor penguins in great danger. Between 2009 and 2018, the number of emperor penguins fell by 10%. Scientists say they could die out by the end of this century—unless we take action now. To better protect them, we must stop burning fossil fuels (化石燃料) as they produce a large amount of CO2. The sad story of emperor penguins is a clear warning: A warming world cannot be saved tomorrow. We must act now before it’s too late. 1．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By listing endangered wild animals. B．By telling emperor penguins’ past and present.

That’s as heavy as thirty cars. These whales can live for fifty years. Scientists can tell a whale’s age by looking in its ears. The most surprising thing is that male (雄性) humpback whales sing songs! Their songs start with a hum. The noises become louder and might last up to 20 minutes. You can hear whale songs 20 miles away. If you dive underwater, you can hear the noises from 100 miles away. Scientists don’t know why the whales sing. Some think they are trying to keep in touch with others. But many people say the whale songs could bring them joy. Whales sometimes catch food in groups. Humpback whales join up underwater. When they come upon a group of fish, one whale swims in a circle. Then, it blows a lot of bubbles (气泡). The bubbles cause the fish to swim to the surface. Then, the whales swim up and quickly eat a big meal. Being huge does not keep these whales safe. The sea has become less safe for humpback whales in the past thirty years. Ships give out oil in the sea, which can make the whales sick. People also throw rubbish in the sea. It is hard for the whales to avoid oil. Humpback whales need help from both scientists and common people. Scientists enjoy studying these whales and their songs. Besides, they’ve got good reasons for keeping whales safe. Today, the humpback whales and their environment are protected by law. 根据短文内容从四个选项中选出正确的答案。 1．Scientists can know a whale’s age by its ________.

Unlike most birds, female plains wanderers (雌鸟) are larger and stronger than males (雄鸟). Females take the lead in protecting their nests and babies from animals like foxes, while males often sit on the eggs to keep them warm. These birds are hard to find because their feathers (羽毛) mix with the grass, making them look like part of the landscape (风景). Sadly, their numbers have been dropping because people are taking over their grassland homes for farms and cities. To save them, scientists are using AI. The key is the birds’ calls. Mother wanderers make soft sounds to talk to their babies and warn about danger. These calls are quiet and easy to miss, but AI can hear them clearly. Scientists put microphones in the grasslands to record sounds all day and night. Then they put these recordings into a computer program. The AI learns to tell the wanderers’ calls apart from other noises, like the wind blowing or insects chirping (鸣叫). This helps scientists find where the mother birds are and how many babies they have. “AI helps us monitor these birds without disturbing (打扰) them,” says Dr. Lee, who leads the project. “We can find the most important areas for them and work to protect those places.” Once, the AI helped scientists find a hidden nest with three baby birds. Without AI, they might not have found it. Thanks to this technology, there is new hope for these rare birds, showing that AI can be a powerful tool in saving wildlife. 1．What do we know about plains wanderers? A．Males are larger than females. B．They live in many different areas. C．They are easy to find in grasslands. D．Mother birds are bigger and protect babies. 2．What does “monitor” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．watch B．catch C．feed D．play with 3．How do scientists use AI to find plains wanderers? A．By watching where they fly. B．By studying calls from mother birds. C．By taking photos of their nests. D．By counting their eggs in the grass. 4．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．AI disturbs the life of plains wanderers a lot. B．Male plains wanderers never look after eggs. C．Human activities are bad for plains wanderers. D．People have completely saved plains wanderers with AI. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．What AI can do in daily life. B．Why plains wanderers are rare. C．How mother wanderers protect their chicks. D．How scientists use AI to protect plains wanderers.

In 1994, she went on a vacation to Grand Bahama and fell in love with both diving 1 the island. So she decided 2 (make) Bahama her home and make diving her life. Cristina learned to feed sharks when she was a child. In 1996, she became a shark feeder trainer. To educate divers about the beauty of sharks and the need to protect them and 3 (they) environment, she made many efforts. For example, a course 4 (create) by her. Through the “shark feeder course”, she has developed more shark lovers. Cristina is talented in 5 (communicate) with sharks. With just a touch on a shark’s head and face, she can lead it into a state of sleep for 15 6 (minute). Cristina’s special talent has been used to study shark behavior by scientists. It also helps to save sharks. Cristina still remembers 7 (clear) the first time she managed to take out a huge hook (钓钩) from a tiger shark’s mouth. So far, she 8 (take) out hundreds of hooks and fishing lines from shark mouths and skin (皮肤) without hurting them. Many sharks have been saved from possible death by her work. Cristina has received many prizes and honors for her great work in shark research and protection. She also acted 9 several films including “Saving the Sharks” by the BBC． Until today, she continues to give speeches to let the public know 10 importance of shark protection.

Dogs, cats, lions or another kind? How much do you know about the animals that live with us in the world? 1 Animals are much more than food or pets for humans. Animals are smart. Some of them do very unusual things. 2 For example, chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use sticks to get white ants out of the ground. They even teach each other how to use tools. Scientists find that animals have their own ways to communicate. Did you know dolphins use ultrasound (超声波) to communicate? 3 They also learn to tell the difference between the sound of their own group and that of other groups. Animals have societies, too. Let’s take ants as an example. 4 Some ants are strong enough to fight against enemies (敌人). Some take care of babies. Others go out to look for food. They have organizations that make the group work well. 5 Long ago, people used pigeons (鸽子) to send mail over long distances. Dogs have been best friends to humans since ancient times. Nowadays some dogs are even trained to guide blind people. Dogs also use their noses to search out drugs for the police. A．Birds learn to sing from their parents. B．Animals can help humans in many ways. C．An ant family usually has millions of ants. D．There are about 16,000 kinds of ants in the world. E．Research shows that animals can use tools (工具). F．Do you know that the earth is home to millions of animals? G．Take a look here and you will find amazing stories about them. 长难句解析 1. 原句：（第三段第四句）They also learn to tell the difference between the sound of their own group and that of other groups. 译文：它们还学会了区分自己群体的声音和其他群体的声音。 分析：主干是 They also learn to tell the difference。between the sound of their own group and that of other groups 是介词短语作定语，修饰 difference。that 在此处作代词，代指 the sound，以避免重复。tell the difference between A and B 意为“区分A和B”。 2.原句：（第四段第四句）Some ants are strong enough to fight against enemies. 译文：有些蚂蚁足够强壮，能够对抗敌人。 分析：主干是 Some ants are strong enough，to fight against enemies 是不定式作结果状语，与 enough 搭配。adj./adv. + enough + to do 是固定句型，意为“足够……以至于能做某事”。fight against 意为“与……战斗/对抗”。 3.原句：（第四第六句）They have organizations that make the group work well. 译文：它们有着让整个群体良好运转的组织。 分析：主干是 They have organizations，that make the group work well 是定语从句修饰 organizations。定语从句中，make the group work well 是 make + 宾语 + 动词原形（作宾补） 结构，意为“使……做……”，work 前省略了 to。 【答案】1．G 2．E 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文介绍动物的智慧、交流、社会群体及对人类的帮助等诸多奇妙之处。 【解析】1．根据前文“Which kind of animals do you like best? Dogs, cats, lions or another kind? How much do you know about the animals that live with us in the world?”可知，前文询问对和我们共同生活在世界上的动物了解多少。G选项“看看这里，你会发现关于它们的惊人故事”起到引出下文讲述动物相关内容的作用。故选G。 2．根据后文“For example,chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use sticks to get white ants out of the ground.”可知，后文举例黑猩猩用棍子把白蚁从地里弄出来，这是动物使用工具的表现。E选项“研究表明动物会使用工具”能很好地引出该例子。故选E。 3．根据前文“Did you know dolphins use ultrasound (超声波) to communicate?”可知，前文讲海豚用超声波交流。A选项“鸟类从父母那里学习唱歌”也是在说动物的交流学习方式，与前文关于动物交流的内容相呼应。故选A。 4．根据前文“Animals have societies, too. Let’s take ants as an example.”可知，前文以蚂蚁为例说动物有社会群体。C选项“一个蚂蚁家族通常有数百万只蚂蚁”是对蚂蚁群体规模的描述，符合语境。故选C。 5．根据后文“Long ago, people used pigeons (鸽子) to send mail over long distances. Dogs have been best friends to humans since ancient times. Nowadays some dogs are even trained to guide blind people. Dogs also use their noses to search out drugs for the police.”可知，后文讲鸽子送信、狗引导盲人、帮警察搜毒品等，都是动物帮助人类的方式。B选项“动物能在很多方面帮助人类”能概括这部分内容。故选B。 译文 你最喜欢哪种动物？狗、猫、狮子还是别的？你对我们这个世界上与我们生活在一起的动物了解多少？ 你知道吗，地球是数百万种动物的家园？ 动物远不止是人类的食物或宠物。动物很聪明。有些动物会做一些非常不寻常的事情。 研究表明，动物能够使用工具。 例如，黑猩猩用树枝把白蚁从地里掏出来。它们甚至会互相教如何使用工具。 科学家发现动物有自己的交流方式。你知道海豚使用超声波进行交流吗？ 鸟类从小鸟父母那里学唱歌。它们还学会了区分自己群体的声音和其他群体的声音。 动物也有它们的社会。让我们以蚂蚁为例。 一个蚂蚁家族通常有数百万只蚂蚁。有些蚂蚁足够强壮，能够对抗敌人。有些照顾幼蚁。有些出去寻找食物。它们有着让整个群体良好运转的组织。 动物在许多方面都可以帮助人类。很久以前，人们用鸽子长途传递邮件。自古以来，狗一直是人类最好的朋友。如今，有些狗甚至被训练来引导盲人。狗还用它们的鼻子为警察搜寻毒品。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 chimpanzee /ˌtʃɪm.pænˈziː/ n. 黑猩猩 ultrasound /ˈʌl.trə.saʊnd/ n. 超声波 communicate /kəˈmjuː.nə.keɪt/ v. 交流；沟通 society /səˈsaɪ.ə.t̬i/ n. 社会；群体 organization /ˌɔːr.ɡə.nəˈzeɪ.ʃən/ n. 组织；机构 distance /ˈdɪs.təns/ n. 距离 drug /drʌɡ/ n. 毒品；药物 tell the difference /tel ðə ˈdɪf.ər.əns/ 短语 区分；辨别差异 fight against /faɪt əˈɡenst/ 短语 与……斗争/对抗 PassageB Fish Memory: More Than Seven Seconds It’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t recognize you or any of their friends—every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time. But a new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. Actually, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long time the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This showed that they could remember their past experiences. In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence before. Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to live in the wild. “If fish are able to remember a certain area with safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science. For a long time fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins, elephants, monkeys, dogs and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence. 1．According to the article, people commonly believe that ________. A．fish don’t recognize any of their friends B．a fish’s memory lasts for only seven minutes C．fish can only remember part of their past experiences D．fish can remember things that happened long time ago 2．What does the underlined word “monitor” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Create. B．Change. C．Control. D．Check. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Only African cichlids have a good memory. B．African cichlids always treat others aggressively. C．African cichlids may remember things for 12 days. D．African cichlids belonged to the list of smart animals. 4．How can fish benefit most from a good memory? A．They can remember their enemies and fight. B．They can remember where to get food and live. C．They can remember their friends and help each other. D．They can remember where to escape when in danger. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Fish Are Not as Smart as Chimpanzees B．The Seven-Second Memory Myth of Fish C．How to Train Fish to Remember Food D．A Study on African Cichlids’ Behavior 长难句解析 1.原句：（第一段第二句）It may seem that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they've been, and they don't recognize you or any of their friends—every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time. 译文：看起来它们似乎不记得自己吃过什么或去过哪里，也不认识你或它们的任何朋友——它们生命中的每一个时刻都像是第一次看到这个世界。 分析：It seems that... 意为“似乎……”。what 和 where 分别引导宾语从句，在从句中作宾语和地点状语。for the first time 意为“第一次”。 2.原句：（第二段第五句）They found that after such a long time the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. 译文：他们发现，过了这么长时间，鱼仍然会去它们第一次获得食物的同一个地方。 分析：主干是 They found that...，that 引导宾语从句。从句中，after such a long time 作时间状语，the fish still went to the same place 是主句，where they first got food 是定语从句修饰 the same place。宾语从句中包含一个定语从句。where 引导定语从句，在从句中作地点状语。such a long time 中 such 修饰名词短语。 3.原句：（第四段第二句）If fish are able to remember a certain area with safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk. 译文：如果鱼能够记住某个有安全食物的区域，它们就能回到那个区域，而不会将生命置于危险之中。 分析：If 引导条件状语从句，主句是 they will be able to go back to that area。without putting their lives at risk 是介词短语作伴随状语。be able to 表示“能够”，强调能力。without doing 意为“没有做……”，在此表示“不会……”。put... at risk 意为“使……处于危险中”。 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了关于鱼类记忆的新研究。文章首先提出了人们普遍认为鱼只有七秒记忆的旧观点，随后通过一项针对非洲慈鲷的研究表明，鱼类的记忆可能长达 12 天，这打破了旧有的认知，并说明了良好记忆对鱼类生存的重要性。 【解析】1．根据第一段“It’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds…they don’t recognize you or any of their friends—every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.”可知，人们普遍认为鱼认不出它们的任何朋友。 2．根据第二段“Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long time the fish still went to the same place where they first got food.”可知，研究人员使用软件来监测鱼的移动，因此monitor在此处意为“检查、监测”，与check意思相近。 3．根据第二段“Actually, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago…They found that after such a long time the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This showed that they could remember their past experiences.”可知，研究发现部分鱼类甚至能记住12天前的事，实验对象就是非洲慈鲷，说明这类鱼有可能记住长达12天的事情。 4．根据第四段“‘If fish are able to remember a certain area with safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk,’ lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.”可知，鱼如果能记住有安全食物的区域，就能回到那里觅食还不会让自己陷入危险，也就是靠好记忆记住获取食物和生存的地点。 5．文章开篇提出“鱼只有七秒记忆”的普遍看法，随后通过研究证明这是错误的，鱼类记忆其实更好。选项 B“The Seven-Second Memory Myth of Fish鱼类的七秒记忆之谜”最能概括文章关于打破这一旧认知的主题，为最佳标题。 译文 鱼类记忆：不止七秒 人们普遍认为鱼的记忆只能持续七秒。看起来它们似乎不记得自己吃过什么或去过哪里，也不认识你或它们的任何朋友——它们生命中的每一个时刻都像是第一次看到这个世界。 但一项新的研究发现，鱼的记忆力比我们过去认为的要好得多。实际上，某些种类的鱼甚至能记住长达12天前的事情。在这项研究中，加拿大麦克文大学的研究人员训练一种叫做非洲慈鲷的鱼游到鱼缸的特定区域去获取食物。然后他们等了12天，再把它们放回鱼缸。研究人员使用计算机软件来监测鱼的活动。他们发现，过了这么长时间，鱼仍然会去它们第一次获得食物的同一个地方。这表明它们能够记住过去的经历。 事实上，科学家们长期以来一直认为非洲慈鲷可能有很好的记忆力。一项更早的研究表明，它们在特定鱼类面前表现得具有攻击性，也许是因为它们记得过去与对方的“争斗”。但在最新的研究结果之前，一直没有明确的证据。 正如好的记忆力能让我们的生活更轻松一样，它在鱼类尝试在野外生存时也起着重要作用。“如果鱼能够记住某个有安全食物的区域，它们就能回到那个区域，而不会将生命置于危险之中，”首席研究员特雷弗·汉密尔顿告诉《生活科学》杂志。 长期以来，在聪明动物的排行榜上，鱼一直排在黑猩猩、海豚、大象、猴子、狗和老鼠之后。但这项研究让科学家们对它们的智力有了新的认识。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 memory /ˈmem.ər.i/ n. 记忆力；记忆 species /ˈspiː.ʃiːz/ n. 物种；种类（单复数同形） tank /tæŋk/ n. 水槽；鱼缸 monitor /ˈmɑː.nɪ.t̬ɚ/ v. 监测；监控（作动词） evidence /ˈev.ə.dəns/ n. 证据；根据 aggressive /əˈɡres.ɪv/ adj. 好斗的；有攻击性的 behave /bɪˈheɪv/ v. 表现；举止 wild /waɪld/ n./adj. 野生环境；野生的 intelligence /ɪnˈtel.ə.dʒəns/ n. 智力；智慧 recognize /ˈrek.əɡ.naɪz/ v. 认出；识别 certain /ˈsɜːr.tən/ adj. 某些；确定的 researcher /rɪˈsɜːr.tʃɚ/ n. 研究人员 lead /liːd/ n./v. 首席的；领导（文中作形容词，意为“首席的”） put... at risk /pʊt æt rɪsk/ 短语 使……处于危险之中 for the first time /fɔːr ðə fɜːrst taɪm/ 短语 第一次 1.

Recently a new kind of robot which looks like a penguin has been developed. The penguin robot helps scientists get closer to emperor penguins (帝企鹅) to know more about their behaviour (行为). Emperor penguins are famous as shy animals. They usually feel nervous and run away when scientists go towards them. This will cause problems to their hearts. To solve it, a team of scientists created a remote control vehicle (遥控车). This vehicle allowed the scientists to study the penguins from over 200 metres away. It could move up to the penguins slowly and quietly without making them run away. It was also used to help make the documentary (纪录片) March of the Penguins. The scientists still wanted to watch emperor penguins much closer. After trying many times, they developed their latest robot which was like a little grey penguin. It had four black wheels, two black arms and a black-and-white painted face. The wheels were prepared for the robot to walk on the thick snow easily. This new robot didn’t scare (惊吓) the penguins. They even sang songs to welcome the robot and listened for a response. But the penguins were very unhappy when there was no answer. The scientists didn’t programme (编写程序) the penguin robot to make a sound. Next time they will have the robot sing songs. Thanks to the robots, scientists could do much more research on emperor penguins. 1．Why was the penguin robot developed? A．To know about scientists’ heart problems. B．To help scientists walk on the thick snow. C．To learn about emperor penguins’ behaviour. D．To help emperor penguins look for more food. 2．How do emperor penguins feel when scientists go towards them? A．Sad. B．Angry. C．Excited. D．Nervous. 3．What does the word “response” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Plan. B．Answer. C．Lesson. D．Reason. 4．What will the penguin robot do next time according to the passage? A．Sing songs. B．Swim in the sea. C．Take photos. D．Dance on the snow. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．Penguins in the film. B．Penguins in the zoo. C．Robots for daily housework. D．Robots for studying penguins. 长难句解析 1.原句：（第一段第二句）Recently a new kind of robot which looks like a penguin has been developed. 译文：  最近，一种看起来像企鹅的新型机器人被研发出来了。 分析：主干是 a new kind of robot has been developed。which looks like a penguin 是定语从句，修饰先行词 robot。has been developed 是现在完成时的被动语态，表示“已经被研发”。定语从句中 looks like 意为“看起来像”。 2.原句：（第二段第五句）This vehicle allowed the scientists to study the penguins from over 200 metres away. 译文：这种设备让科学家能够从200多米外研究企鹅。 分析：主干是 This vehicle allowed the scientists to study the penguins，from over 200 metres away 是介词短语作距离状语。allow sb. to do sth. 是固定句型，意为“允许某人做某事”。from... away 表示“从……远处”。over 在此处意为“超过”。 3.原句：（第三段第二句）After trying many times, they developed their latest robot which was like a little grey penguin. 译文：在尝试了很多次之后，他们研发出了最新的机器人，它像一只灰色的小企鹅。 分析： After trying many times 是介词短语作时间状语，主干是 they developed their latest robot，which was like a little grey penguin 是非限制性定语从句修饰 robot（限制性定语从句也成立，此处用逗号隔开表示补充说明）。After doing 表示“在做……之后”，介词后接动名词。develop 意为“研发、开发”。定语从句中 was like 意为“像……”。 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文介绍科学家研发企鹅外形机器人，因帝企鹅生性胆小，普通靠近会刺激它们，这款机器人能近距离观察帝企鹅行为，企鹅甚至主动对它鸣叫，未来机器人还将加装发声功能。 【解析】1．原文第一段“The penguin robot helps scientists get closer to emperor penguins to know more about their behaviour.” ，研发企鹅机器人的目的是近距离观察、了解帝企鹅的行为。 2．原文“第二段“They usually feel nervous and run away when scientists go towards them.”，当科学家靠近时，帝企鹅会感到紧张并逃跑。 3．原文第三段“They even sang songs to welcome the robot and listened for a response. But the penguins were very unhappy when there was no answer.”，后文no answer是同义提示，response意为“回应、答复”。 4．原文第三段“Next time they will have the robot sing songs.”，科学家还没给机器人设置发声程序，下一步会让机器人唱歌。 5．全文围绕用来研究帝企鹅的两款机器人展开，讲述研发原因、外形、使用效果和升级计划。选项D能够概括全文。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 penguin /ˈpeŋ.ɡwɪn/ n. 企鹅 behaviour /bɪˈheɪ.vjɚ/ n. 行为；举止 remote control /rɪˈmoʊt kənˈtroʊl/ n.短语 遥控；遥控器 vehicle /ˈviː.ə.kəl/ n. 车辆；交通工具 documentary /ˌdɑː.kjəˈmen.tɚ.i/ n. 纪录片 thick /θɪk/ adj. 厚的；浓密的 response /rɪˈspɑːns/ n. 回应；反应 programme /ˈproʊ.ɡræm/ v. 编写程序；设定（作动词） research /rɪˈsɜːrtʃ/ n./v. 研究（名词/动词） scare /sker/ v. 使害怕；惊吓 latest /ˈleɪ.t̬ɪst/ adj. 最新的；最近的 allow... to do /əˈlaʊ tuː duː/ 短语 允许……做…… thanks to /θæŋks tuː/ 短语 多亏了；由于 move up to /muːv ʌp tuː/ 短语 向……移动靠近 Passage2 (2025·四川省遂宁市)In science museums, you usually see animal specimens (标本) lying silently. Now they are not quiet anymore. Thanks to AI, visitors to a museum in England can talk to them now. The museum works with an AI company so that it is possible for people and the natural world to communicate with each other. It brings 13 of its specimens back to life. Visitors only need to use their smartphones to scan the QR codes (二维码) next to the specimens to begin talking with them—either by text or voice. The animals will reply as if they’re still alive. This is a new way for people to learn about animals. The museum wants to see how this can help people connect with nature better. “This is just a try using AI technology in nature science. Will it help people know more about the specimen animals? Will it influence people’s opinions about them? For example, will people like the mouse better after hearing its voice? We are not sure.” said Jack Ashby, a worker of the museum. And you don’t have to speak English, by the way—the animals are multilingual. So no matter what languages you speak, the animals can talk to you in a way that’s easy for you to understand. The project engineers hope to make people care more about the biodiversity crisis (生物多样性危机). According to the most recent research, wildlife populations dropped by 69% between 1970 and 2018. And animals are dying out at a faster speed. Let’s hope the new technology will be both fun and helpful. 1．What does AI do in the science museum? A．It helps the animals to live longer. B．It helps the museum to make more money. C．It helps visitors to talk with the specimens. D．It helps the scientists to make specimens. 2．How does writer express his opinion in paragraph 5? A．By listing numbers. B．By comparing facts. C．By explaining reasons. D．By asking questions. 3．What does the underlined sentence “the animals are multilingual” mean in paragraph 6? A．The animals can’t speak any languages. B．The animals can speak only one language. C．The animals can speak two languages. D．The animals can speak several different languages. 4．Why does the museum work with the AI company? A．Because the museum hopes to make the number of animals increase. B．Because the museum wishes visitors to learn more about animals. C．Because the museum would like to help visitors communicate with each other. D．Because the museum wants to teach visitors how to use smartphones in the museum. 5．What does the writer hope new technology will be like? A．Interesting and useful. B．Cheap and smart. C．Smooth and safe. D．Convenient and fast. 长难句解析 1.原句：（第二段第一句）The museum works with an AI company so that it is possible for people and the natural world to communicate with each other. 译文：博物馆与一家人工智能公司合作，以便人类与自然界能够相互交流。 分析：主干是 The museum works with an AI company，so that 引导目的状语从句。从句中，it is possible for... to communicate 是 it 作形式主语的句型，真正的主语是 for people and the natural world to communicate with each other。so that 引导目的状语从句，意为“以便、为了”，从句中常用 can/could/may/might 等情态动词。it is possible for sb. to do 是固定句型，意为“对某人来说做某事是可能的”。 2.原句：（第三段第一句）Visitors only need to use their smartphones to scan the QR codes next to the specimens to begin talking with them—either by text or voice. 译文：参观者只需使用智能手机扫描标本旁边的二维码，就可以开始与它们交谈——通过文字或语音方式均可。 分析：主干是 Visitors need to use their smartphones。to scan the QR codes 是不定式作目的状语，next to the specimens 是介词短语作后置定语修饰 the QR codes，to begin talking with them 是不定式作目的状语。破折号后的内容是对交谈方式作补充说明。 3.原句：（第六段第二句）So no matter what languages you speak, the animals can talk to you in a way that's easy for you to understand. 译文：所以无论你说什么语言，这些动物都能以一种你容易理解的方式与你交谈。 分析：no matter what languages you speak 是让步状语从句，主干是 the animals can talk to you in a way，that's easy for you to understand 是定语从句修饰 a way。no matter what 引导让步状语从句，意为“无论什么”，相当于 whatever。定语从句 that's easy for you to understand 中，easy for you to understand 是“形容词 + 不定式”结构，不定式与主语 that（指代 a way）之间存在动宾关系。 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了英国博物馆利用AI技术让动物标本“说话”，游客通过扫码与标本互动，旨在增强人与自然联系并呼吁关注生物多样性危机。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据“In science museums, you usually see animal specimens (标本) lying silently.

It was the first home of emperor penguins (帝企鹅) ever found. Now, only 124 years after that place was discovered, emperor penguins have been listed as endangered wild animals. What makes them in such danger? Emperor penguins rely on “fast” ice—sea ice strongly connected to the land—for nine months of the year. It’s where the little penguins are born and grow until they have waterproof feathers (防水羽毛). It’s also a safe place for adults to moult (脱毛) every year. They stay on the ice while their swimming feathers grow back. But global warming has led to record-low levels of Antarctic sea ice since 2016. When sea ice breaks up early, the whole area can fall into the water. The little penguins that aren’t fully grown may have difficulty swimming out. Even if some penguins get out of the water, they’re completely wet and will freeze to death. The decrease in Antarctic sea ice has put emperor penguins in great danger. Between 2009 and 2018, the number of emperor penguins fell by 10%. Scientists say they could die out by the end of this century—unless we take action now. To better protect them, we must stop burning fossil fuels (化石燃料) as they produce a large amount of CO2. The sad story of emperor penguins is a clear warning: A warming world cannot be saved tomorrow. We must act now before it’s too late. 1．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By listing endangered wild animals. B．By telling emperor penguins’ past and present. C．By comparing emperor penguins to other animals. 2．Why do emperor penguins need “fast” ice? A．To swim in the water safely. B．To travel to Ross Island, Antarctica. C．To raise babies and change feathers. 3．Which of the following will happen when sea ice breaks up early? A．Adult penguins will grow new feathers. B．Little penguins will be in danger in water. C．Young penguins will learn to swim faster. 4．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． 5．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Act now to save emperor penguins. B．Less sea ice puts penguins in great danger. C．Emperor penguins may die out this century. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文讲述全球变暖造成南极海冰变少，帝企鹅生存岌岌可危，呼吁人类立刻行动保护它们。 【解析】1．文章开头讲述1902年首次发现帝企鹅栖息地(过去)，如今124年后它们成为濒危动物(现在)，是用过去和现状开篇。 2．根据第二段第二、三句“It’s where the little penguins are born and grow... It’s also a safe place for adults to moult…”可知，坚冰用来繁育幼崽、成年企鹅换羽毛的。 3．根据第三段“When sea ice breaks up early...The little penguins that aren’t fully grown may have difficulty swimming out...freeze to death.”可知，海冰过早破裂时，整个区域可能会掉入水中，未完全长大的小企鹅可能在水中有危险。 4．文章第一段是总起段：帝企鹅濒危。第二至四段是分述段：分别讲了企鹅依赖海冰生存；全球变暖海冰减少；企鹅数量下降濒临灭绝。第五段是总结段：警示人类立刻行动。所以文章是“总—分—总”结构，对应C的树形结构。 5．根据最后一段最后一句“We must act now before it’s too late.”可知，本文核心是呼吁立刻行动拯救帝企鹅。 Passage 2 Humpback whales (座头鲸) live in the sea. They can weigh as much as ninety thousand pounds. That’s as heavy as thirty cars. These whales can live for fifty years. Scientists can tell a whale’s age by looking in its ears. The most surprising thing is that male (雄性) humpback whales sing songs! Their songs start with a hum. The noises become louder and might last up to 20 minutes. You can hear whale songs 20 miles away. If you dive underwater, you can hear the noises from 100 miles away. Scientists don’t know why the whales sing. Some think they are trying to keep in touch with others. But many people say the whale songs could bring them joy. Whales sometimes catch food in groups. Humpback whales join up underwater. When they come upon a group of fish, one whale swims in a circle. Then, it blows a lot of bubbles (气泡). The bubbles cause the fish to swim to the surface. Then, the whales swim up and quickly eat a big meal. Being huge does not keep these whales safe. The sea has become less safe for humpback whales in the past thirty years. Ships give out oil in the sea, which can make the whales sick. People also throw rubbish in the sea. It is hard for the whales to avoid oil. Humpback whales need help from both scientists and common people. Scientists enjoy studying these whales and their songs. Besides, they’ve got good reasons for keeping whales safe. Today, the humpback whales and their environment are protected by law. 根据短文内容从四个选项中选出正确的答案。 1．Scientists can know a whale’s age by its ________. A．weight B．height C．ears D．song 2．What does the underlined word “dive” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese? A．隐藏 B．潜水 C．研究 D．苏醒 3．How do Humpback whales catch food? Choose the correct order. a. Whales swim up and eat fishes quickly. b. Humpback whales come together underwater. c. One whale swims in a circle when they meet fishes. d. Bubbles blown by whales cause fishes to swim to the surface. A．b-d-a-c B．d-a-b-c C．b-d-c-a D．b-c-d-a 4．We can infer from the passage that ________. A．scientists have found the reason why the whales sing B．male humpback whales make loud noises within 20 minutes C．humpback whales can catch food alone because of being huge D．the number of humpback whales became less in the past thirty years 5．What’s the main idea of this passage? A．Humpback whales have many abilities. B．Humpback whales have an interesting way of catching food. C．Humpback whales need help from both scientists and common people. D．Humpback whales are a kind of special animal and we should protect them. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了座头鲸的基本信息、唱歌和集体捕食的独特习性，说明了其面临的生存危机，强调座头鲸需要人类的保护。 【解析】1．根据第一段最后一句“Scientists can tell a whale’s age by looking in its ears.”可知，科学家通过耳朵知道鲸鱼的年龄。 2．根据第二段画线词后的语境“underwater”（在水下）以及句意“如果你______水下，你可以在 100 英里外听到声音”，可推断“dive”意为“潜水”，这样才能在水下听到声音。 3．根据第三段描述捕食过程的顺序：首先“Humpback whales join up underwater”（b. 在水下聚集）；接着“one whale swims in a circle”（c. 一只鲸鱼转圈）；然后“blows a lot of bubbles... cause the fish to swim to the surface”（d. 气泡使鱼浮到水面）；最后“whales swim up and quickly eat”（a. 鲸鱼上游吃鱼）。正确顺序为b-c-d-a。 4．根据第四段“The sea has become less safe... in the past thirty years”以及“need help”可推断，环境恶化导致过去三十年座头鲸的数量可能减少了，生存受到威胁。 5．文章介绍了座头鲸的特征、唱歌和捕食习性（special animal），同时也提到了它们面临的危险及需要保护（should protect them）。A、B项只涵盖了部分细节，C项仅是第四段的内容。D项概括了全文主旨，既说明了鲸鱼的特殊性，又强调了保护的重要性。 Passage 3 Plains wanderers (平原漫游鸟) are small, rare (罕见的) birds that live in grasslands. Unlike most birds, female plains wanderers (雌鸟) are larger and stronger than males (雄鸟). Females take the lead in protecting their nests and babies from animals like foxes, while males often sit on the eggs to keep them warm. These birds are hard to find because their feathers (羽毛) mix with the grass, making them look like part of the landscape (风景). Sadly, their numbers have been dropping because people are taking over their grassland homes for farms and cities. To save them, scientists are using AI. The key is the birds’ calls. Mother wanderers make soft sounds to talk to their babies and warn about danger. These calls are quiet and easy to miss, but AI can hear them clearly. Scientists put microphones in the grasslands to record sounds all day and night. Then they put these recordings into a computer program. The AI learns to tell the wanderers’ calls apart from other noises, like the wind blowing or insects chirping (鸣叫). This helps scientists find where the mother birds are and how many babies they have. “AI helps us monitor these birds without disturbing (打扰) them,” says Dr. Lee, who leads the project. “We can find the most important areas for them and work to protect those places.” Once, the AI helped scientists find a hidden nest with three baby birds. Without AI, they might not have found it. Thanks to this technology, there is new hope for these rare birds, showing that AI can be a powerful tool in saving wildlife. 1．What do we know about plains wanderers? A．Males are larger than females. B．They live in many different areas. C．They are easy to find in grasslands. D．Mother birds are bigger and protect babies. 2．What does “monitor” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．watch B．catch C．feed D．play with 3．How do scientists use AI to find plains wanderers? A．By watching where they fly. B．By studying calls from mother birds. C．By taking photos of their nests. D．By counting their eggs in the grass. 4．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．AI disturbs the life of plains wanderers a lot. B．Male plains wanderers never look after eggs. C．Human activities are bad for plains wanderers. D．People have completely saved plains wanderers with AI. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．What AI can do in daily life. B．Why plains wanderers are rare. C．How mother wanderers protect their chicks. D．How scientists use AI to protect plains wanderers. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了珍稀鸟类平原漫游鸟的生存现状，并讲述了科学家如何利用 AI 技术，通过识别雌鸟叫声来监测和保护这些鸟类，为野生动物保护提供了新方法。 【解析】1．根据第一段第二第三句“Unlike most birds, female plains wanderers are larger and stronger than males. Females take the lead in protecting their nests and babies...”可知，雌鸟体型更大且负责保护幼鸟，对应D选项“Mother birds are bigger and protect babies.”。A选项与原文相反；B选项原文仅提到它们生活在草地（grasslands）；C选项原文明确说明“These birds are hard to find”。 2．根据最后一段“AI helps us monitor these birds without disturbing them... We can find the most important areas for them and work to protect those places.”可知科学家需要在不打扰鸟类的情况下观察它们的状况以便实施保护。monitor在此处意为“监控、观察”，与watch意思最接近。catch（捕捉）、feed（喂养）、play with（玩耍）均不符合语境。 3．根据第二段中“The key is the birds’ calls. Mother wanderers make soft sounds... AI can hear them clearly.”以及“AI learns to tell the wanderers’ calls apart from other noises”可知，科学家是通过录制并分析母鸟的叫声来发现它们的踪迹，与B选项“By studying calls from mother birds.”含义一致。 4．根据第一段最后一句“Sadly, their numbers have been dropping because people are taking over their grassland homes for farms and cities.”可知人类占用草地建设农场和城市导致鸟类数量下降，说明人类活动对它们有害，与C选项“Human activities are bad for plains wanderers.”完全对应。A选项与原文“witho ut disturbing”矛盾；B选项与原文“males often sit on the eggs”矛盾；D选项原文只提到“new hope”，并未表示已经完全拯救。 5．文章第一段介绍了平原漫游鸟的习性及其生存面临的威胁，第二段和第三段重点阐述了科学家如何利用AI技术通过识别叫声来监测和保护这种鸟类，并展示了取得的成效。因此，文章主旨是关于科学家如何利用AI保护平原漫游鸟（How scientists use AI to protect plains wanderers.）。 Passage 4 Cristina Zenato, a world-famous shark expert and diver (潜水员), was born in Italy and grew up in Africa until the age of 15.
