1.A 2.B 3.D
【难度】0.65
【知识点】人与动植物、说明文
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了“好事过犹不及”的现象,通过澳大利亚、冰岛和加拿大的三个事例说明了出于善意和良好意图做出的决定有时会导致意想不到的负面后果。
【详解】1.词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句及其上文“Of course, we already know the following from Aesop’s fable “The Man, the Boy, and the Donkey”: please all, and you will please none. The policy-makers are well aware of that. (当然,我们已经从伊索寓言《男人、儿子和驴》中知道了下面这句话:想讨好所有人,你就会弄得人人不悦。政策制定者很清楚这一点)”可推知,政策制定者很清楚的是一则伊索寓言揭示的道理:让每个人都满意是不可能的,画线的that指的就是这一道理。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据In Australia中“A large toad (蟾蜍), known as the cane toad, native to the southern United States and Brazil, was introduced into Australia to control a kind of pests (害虫) harmful to people’s crops. (一种大蟾蜍,被称为甘蔗蟾蜍,原产于美国南部和巴西,被引入澳大利亚,以控制一种对人们的农作物有害的害虫)”和In Iceland中“The species was introduced into Iceland to prevent soil from being washed away. (这种物种被引入冰岛是为了防止土壤被冲走)”可知,澳大利亚和冰岛的共同之处在于它们都引进了外来物种。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是文章的标题“Too Much of a Good Thing—the Law of Unintended Consequences (好事过犹不及——意外后果法则)”和第一段中“But sadly, there are in fact times when decisions made in good faith and with the best of intentions result in undesired outcomes. (但令人遗憾的是,事实上有时出于善意和最佳意图做出的决定会导致意想不到的结果)”可知,文章围绕“好事过犹不及”的现象展开,通过澳大利亚、冰岛和加拿大的三个事例说明了出于善意和良好意图做出的决定有时会导致意想不到的负面后果。由此可知,作者想告诉我们:良好的意图未必会带来理想的结果。故选D项。
4.A 5.C 6.D 7.B
【难度】0.65
【知识点】动物、科普知识 、说明文
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了猫通过叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物来表达需求、评估环境和展示爱意。
【详解】4.细节理解题。根据第一段“Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. (动物可以用很多方式来表达他们的需求。例如,几乎所有的动物都有独特的声音,它们依靠这些声音来寻求帮助,吓跑危险的动物或寻找庇护。)”和“Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother’s attention and be fed. (猫宝宝一出生就开始喵喵叫,喵喵叫是为了引起妈妈的注意和被喂食。)”可知,猫叫声是一种生存技能。故选A。
5.细节理解题。根据第二段“Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. (猫有许多敏锐的感官,但它们的嗅觉令人印象深刻。它们用鼻子来评估周围的环境,寻找任何危险的迹象。)”可知,宠物猫通过检查气味来评估不同情况。故选C。
6.词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词前半句“Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, (狗以其令人印象深刻的抓取习惯而闻名)”和后句“Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. (许多猫会在外面随意找到一些东西,并把它们带给主人。)”可知,狗以取回东西而闻名,但猫可以从外边找到东西带回来,因此在这一行为上更上一层楼。短语take ... up a notch是用来形容猫在带回东西这一行为上做得更好或更出色。故选D。
7.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways.( 动物可以用很多方式来表达他们的需求。)”及全文可知,文章都在介绍和解释猫的各种行为方式,包括叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物的习惯,以及这些行为背后的原因和意义。所以“Understanding Your Cat’s Behavior(了解你的猫的行为)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。
8.A 9.C 10.B 11.D
【难度】0.65
【知识点】环境保护、人与动植物、说明文
【导语】这是一篇说明文。全球城市野生动物数量与多样性增长,城市热岛效应、充足食物等使其繁荣,带来健康益处但也存在隐患,城市通过创新设计推动人与野生动物共存。
【详解】8.细节理解题。根据第一段“These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant. (这些可不是普通的鸽子和麻雀,而是鹰和猫头鹰,甚至还有一些非本土物种,它们居然也觉得城市环境十分宜人。)”可知,城市野生动物在种类上变得更加丰富了。故选A。
9.推理判断题。根据第二段“The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates micro climates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse micro habitats within a single city block. Urban environments also offer abundant food resources. Raccoons in Toronto have learned some techniques to open garbage cans. The constant availability of food waste and reduced animal hunters in nature create what ecologists call “urban ecological release.” (城市热岛效应通常被视为城市发展带来的负面后果,但它却造就了许多物种趋之若鹜的微气候环境。温暖的气温延长了作物的生长季节,提供了无霜期,并在单个城市街区内部形成了多样化的微小栖息地。城市环境还提供了丰富的食物资源。在多伦多,浣熊已经学会了打开垃圾桶的一些技巧。食物废弃物的持续供应以及自然界中捕食动物数量的减少,造就了生态学家所说的“城市生态释放。”)”可知,提及“城市生态释放”这一概念旨在展示城市对野生动物的友好程度。故选C。
10.细节理解题。根据第三段“Urban wildlife’s boom (繁荣) not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. (城市野生动物数量的激增不仅改变了生态系统,还为人类带来了健康益处。研究表明,在生物多样性较高的地区生活的人群患自身免疫性疾病的比例更低。心理健康方面的益处同样显著:与未曾与野生动物接触的居民相比,那些与野生动物有过接触的市民报告称压力更低,情绪也更好。)”可知,城市野生动物数量的激增会带来一种更加强烈的幸福感。故选B。
11.细节理解题。根据最后一段“The key is reimagining cities as integrated ecosystems. As urbanization grows, coexistence lessons grow more valuable. (关键在于将城市重新构想为一个相互关联的生态系统。随着城市化进程的加快,关于如何实现和谐共处的经验教训变得愈发重要。)”可知,对于城市中的野生动物而言,实现和谐共存的关键因素是一种适应性的共存思维模式。故选D。
12.B 13.D 14.D 15.C
【难度】0.65
【知识点】动物、科普知识 、说明文
【导语】本文介绍CETI的研究发现,抹香鲸的尾音信号拥有类似人类语言的语音特征,但人类距离完全破译它们的交流还有很长的路要走。
【详解】12.细节理解题。根据第二段“In 2024, CETI discovered that these rhythmic sequences form a kind of “phonetic alphabet”, a rich system of sounds similar to Morse code. When their codas are sped up with the silences removed, they contain elements that function like human vowels.(2024年,CETI发现这些有节奏的序列构成一种“语音字母表”,一套类似摩尔斯电码的丰富声音系统。当把它们的尾音信号加速并去除静音间隔后,其中包含起到人类元音作用的成分。)”可知,抹香鲸的尾音信号具备类似人类言语的声音要素。
13.词句猜测题。根据第三段“Most strikingly, whales show coarticulation: the first click of a whale vowel is sometimes shaped by the one that came before, a key feature that is common in human language.(最为引人注目的是,抹香鲸表现出coarticulation:一个鲸类元音的第一次咔嗒脉冲声有时会受前一个声音的影响,这是人类语言中十分普遍的关键特征。)”可知,coarticulation指一个声音会受到邻近声音的影响。
14.推理判断题。根据第四段““The findings suggest sperm whale communication is one of the most complex in the animal kingdom, with remarkable similarities to our own language.” Gruber says, “It’s a really nice example of the further parallels between animal communication and human language.”(Gruber说:“这些发现表明抹香鲸的交流方式属于动物界中最为复杂的一类,和我们人类的语言有着显著的相似之处。这是动物交流与人类语言存在更多相似点的绝佳例证。”)”可知,Gruber认为这项研究发现意义重大。
15.推理判断题。根据第四段“He notes that we’re already starting to predict simplistic behaviors, like diving, based on their voices, but we still have a long way to go to truly understand their complex communications.(他指出我们已经开始依据它们的声音预测潜水这类简单行为,但是想要真正理解它们复杂的交流,我们还有很长的路要走。)”可知,下文很可能会介绍破译抹香鲸语言的后续研究。

46.One possible version:
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our giant panda breeding base. I'd like to introduce this unique species to all of you.
First, as a symbol of China, the giant panda is a special Chinese species, which feeds mostly on bamboo, mainly living in the mountains of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. Additionally,they look so cute in appearance that they are popular among people all over the world. However, they once were in danger of extinction because of climate change and habitat loss. In order to protect giant pandas from dying out, we have taken several practical measures. Thanks to people's great effort, the number of giant pandas has significantly increased these years.
That ’s all. I hope you can enjoy your stay here. Thanks.
47.One possible version:
When the man arrived, the little dog ran straight into his arms, barking with joy. Fauna watched as Buddy wagged his tail furiously, licking the man’s face with excitement. It was clear that Buddy remembered his owner and was overjoyed to see him again. The man thanked Fauna and her family for taking such good care of Buddy. Fauna knelt down to give Buddy one last hug, whispering, “I’ll miss you, Buddy.” As the man led Buddy away, Fauna stood at the door, waving until they were out of sight.
That evening, Fauna sat quietly in her room, feeling the emptiness that Buddy’s absence had left behind. Her parents noticed her sadness and sat down with her. Her father said, “How about visiting the animal shelter this weekend? If you’re ready, maybe we can find a pet that needs a home—one that we can keep forever.” Fauna’s eyes lit up, and a small smile returned to her face. She realized that while saying goodbye to Buddy was hard, it had also opened the door to a new possibility—a chance to give another animal a loving home.

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
A
Too Much of a Good Thing — the Law of Unintended Consequences
Government leaders try hard to make the best decisions. Sometimes they survey the general public, get expert advice and hold meetings. Of course, we already know the following from Aesop’s fable “The Man, the Boy, and the Donkey”: please all, and you will please none. The policy-makers are well aware of that. But sadly, there are in fact times when decisions made in good faith and with the best of intentions result in undesired outcomes.
In Australia
A large toad (蟾蜍), known as the cane toad, native to the southern United States and Brazil, was introduced into Australia to control a kind of pests (害虫) harmful to people’s crops. This introduction of a foreign species was done after careful examination. At that time, it was believed that the introduction of the toad had served its purpose. However, later studies concluded that the cane toad’s huge appetite has caused considerable damage to the native Australian ecosystem, with its number totally out of control.
In Iceland
A lovely purple flower, the Alaskan Lupin is a big concern in Iceland. The species was introduced into Iceland to prevent soil from being washed away. But it grew and spread like a weed, threatening the growth of nearby plants. Now the government is working on having students from Iceland and abroad moving in to cut down the Lupin and, if possible, remove its seeds from the ground.
In Canada
Canadian Forest Service has become “too successful” with its fire-prevention policy. Fire is a natural part of the life cycle of forests, and the reduction of forest fires created new problems. Aged trees which should have been killed off by fire are easily infected by pests and diseases and pass them to neighboring trees. They are now threatening to destroy the forests of British Columbia and Alberta.
1.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.It’s impossible to satisfy everyone.
B.It’s important to have good manners.
C.It’s challenging to collect opinions.
D.It’s necessary to predict the future.
2.What do Australia and Iceland have in common according to the text?
A.They suffered economic loss.
B.They imported a foreign species.
C.They achieved what they desired.
D.They managed to deal with the trouble.
3.What does the writer try to tell us?
A.Introduction of a foreign species is a mistake.
B.Too many good things can bring bad consequences.
C.Policy making should be taken more seriously.
D.Good intentions may not lead to desired results.
B
Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you're able to interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and soft meows. Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed.
Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells. Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future. That's why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats, which they don't usually like.
Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that's been present in all kinds of predators (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just doing something that been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it!
4.What can be learned about cats' meowing from the first paragraph?
A.It's a survival skill. B.It's taught by mother cats.
C.It's hard to interpret. D.It's getting louder with age.
5.How does a pet cat assess different situations?
A.By listening for sounds. B.By touching familiar objects.
C.By checking on smells. D.By communicating with other cats.
6.Which best explains the phrase "take. . . up notch" in paragraph 3?
A.Perform appropriately. B.Move faster. C.Act strangely. D.Do better.
7.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Tips on Finding a Smart Cat B.Understanding Your Cat's Behavior
C.Have Fun with Your Cat D.How to Keep Your Cat Healthy
C(2025温州一模)
Cities worldwide are witnessing a transformation in urban environments. Wildlife populations in cities are not only surviving but often surpassing those in rural areas. Urban bird populations in cities like Berlin have increased by over 40% in the past two decades. These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant.
The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates micro climates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse micro habitats within a single city block. Urban environments also offer abundant food resources. Raccoons in Toronto have learned some techniques to open garbage cans. The constant availability of food waste and reduced animal hunters in nature create what ecologists call “urban ecological release.”
Urban wildlife’s boom (繁荣) not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. Yet this boom isn’t all positive. Urban animals are developing behaviour changes — increased aggression and interrupted migration routes. Disease spread is also critical as populations grow more crowded, threatening humans and animals alike.
Forward-thinking cities are pioneering architectural innovations. Green roofs in Copenhagen aren’t just for beauty — they’re functioning ecosystems supporting plants, insects, and birds, cutting energy costs by up to 30%while providing paths for wildlife to move. Wildlife bridges like Ecoduct de Woeste Hoeve let over 5,000 deer cross highways safely, reducing wildlife-vehicle accidents by 80%.
The future of urban wildlife coexistence is promising, driven by tech advances and public awareness — smart tech enables wildlife monitoring, and innovative designs create shared livable spaces. Emerging biotech may revolutionize management: genetic tools help study urban animal adaptation, aiding threatened species. The key is reimagining cities as integrated ecosystems. As urbanization grows, coexistence lessons grow more valuable. The question isn’t whether we can live alongside urban wildlife — it’s whether we dare to embrace the possibilities this partnership offers.

When sperm whales communicate with each other, they produce clicks in patterns that may be similar to our own system of language, according to a latest study from CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative) and its co-author, David Gruber.
When sperm whales communicate — such as when they roll at the surface or prepare for a hunt — they produce rhythmic pulses of clicks called codas. In 2024, CETI discovered that these rhythmic sequences form a kind of “phonetic alphabet”, a rich system of sounds similar to Morse code. When their codas are sped up with the silences removed, they contain elements that function like human vowels. So far, two whale “vowels” have been identified, distinct sounds similar to our “a” and “I”.
CETI’s linguistics lead, Gašper Beguš, has studied ancient languages like Hittite, Tocharian, and Sanskrit and now focuses on decoding sperm whale communication. His team analyzed over 1,100 sperm whale codas, which were recorded through hydrophones in a wild population of 15 females and calves living off the Caribbean island of Dominica. They found that whale vowels have different lengths, with “a-codas” lasting significantly longer than their “i-codas” — a feature similar to human vowels. Most strikingly, whales show coarticulation: the first click of a whale vowel is sometimes shaped by the one that came before, a key feature that is common in human language.
“The findings suggest sperm whale communication is one of the most complex in the animal kingdom, with remarkable similarities to our own language.” Gruber says, “It’s a really nice example of the further parallels between animal communication and human language.” He notes that we’re already starting to predict simplistic behaviors, like diving, based on their voices, but we still have a long way to go to truly understand their complex communications.
12.What did CETI find about sperm whale codas in 2024?
A.They contain human vowels. B.They sound like human speech.
C.They lose meaning when sped up. D.They are made mostly for hunting.
13.What does the underlined word “coarticulation” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Two sounds have the same length. B.The same sound pattern is repeated.
C.Sounds are produced at the same time. D.One sound is influenced by a nearby sound.
14.What does Gruber think of the study findings?
A.Limited. B.Decisive.
C.Contradictory. D.Significant.
15.What may be discussed in the following paragraph?
A.Main factors affecting sperm whale language.
B.Practical applications of sperm whale sounds.
C.Further research to decode sperm whale language.
D.Comparison between various whale communications.

Ways You Can Help Protect Wildlife
Wildlife is important to keeping ecological balance, and a world where it exists only in history books and on dinner plates is not one we should desire. Protecting wildlife is not just the responsibility of conservationists, it’s a shared duty. 16
Volunteer for Wildlife Protection Projects
Giving your time to wildlife conservation efforts can make a tangible difference. Many organizations offer opportunities to participate in animal rescue and conservation research. Whether it’s helping at local organizations or helping with global conservation efforts, your hands-on support can aid in protecting vulnerable (易受伤害的) species from being extinct.
Reduce Plastic Waste
Plastic pollution is one of the biggest threats to wildlife, particularly marine animals. 17 You can help by reducing your use of single-use plastics, opting for reusable bags and bottles, and properly disposing of plastic waste. Supporting brands that use sustainable packaging also contributes to reducing plastic waste in our environment.
Support Wildlife-Friendly Businesses
18 Choosing eco-friendly products and supporting businesses that prioritize (优先考虑) sustainable practices help protect wildlife habitats. Your buying choices can drive companies toward more sustainable operations. Beyond buying, you can equally empower yourself to start producing.
19
Raising awareness is a powerful tool for change. By sharing information about wildlife conservation on social media, you help educate others about the importance of protecting our planet’s biodiversity. Whether it’s posting articles, supporting campaigns, or engaging in discussions, spreading the word encourages more people to take action.
Protecting wildlife is not just about large-scale efforts. 20 There is no planet B — let’s ensure that future generations live in a world rich in biodiversity and thriving ecosystems.
A.It starts with small, everyday actions.
B.Spread awareness about endangered species
C.Share conservation messages with your friends
D.Every voice matters in the fight to save animals from extinction.
E.Birds, turtles, and fish often mistake plastic for food, leading to serious consequences.

The Right Thing to Do
Fauna had always dreamed of keeping a pet. Time and again, she asked her parents, promising to walk, feed, and look after it. Each time, though, they gave the same gentle response: “We’ll see.”
One afternoon, on her way home from school, Fauna saw a little dog wandering near the park. Its fur was messy, and it looked lost, sniffing the ground as if searching for something. Feeling curious and hopeful, Fauna bent down and called to it. The dog quickly ran over, wagging (摇) its tail and gently pressing its nose into her hand, like they had known each other forever.
She looked around, but no one seemed to be searching for the dog. Feeling pity for the lost dog, Fauna decided to take it home. As they walked side by side, her heart swelled with joy. It felt as though this was the pet she had always dreamed of—a friend she had been waiting for.
At the front door, Fauna’s mother greeted her with a warm smile. Although she found the dog adorable, she gently reminded Fauna that they needed to try and find its owner. If the dog was lost, someone must be missing it. Fauna reluctantly (不情愿地) agreed, though part of her wished no one would come forward to claim the little dog.
Over the next few days, Fauna and the dog—whom she named Buddy—grew inseparable. She fed him, played with him, and let him sleep curled up at the foot of her bed. Every day, it became harder to imagine life without him. Buddy seemed happy too, wagging his tail whenever she came home from school. But Fauna knew deep down that she had to do the right thing. She and her parents posted flyers around town, hoping to find Buddy’s owner.
Just a few days later, the phone rang. Fauna’s heart sank as her father answered. From the conversation, it was clear that the caller was Buddy’s owner. He described Buddy perfectly—the friendly eyes and playful personality. Fauna knew Buddy would soon be leaving her. Her father arranged for the owner to come by and pick Buddy up.
