一、单元语篇复盘:从生态失衡走向系统修复
1. MACQUARIE ISLAND: from Chaos to Conservation
语篇类型与视角
按时间推进的生态修复叙事;叙述者以保护工作者视角回顾人类介入的连锁后果。
核心因果链
外来物种进入 → 捕食与植被破坏 → 局部治理引发新失衡 → 认识到必须整体治理。
时间轴抓手
1810人类到来;19世纪末引入兔子;20世纪后期多次控制;2000猫被清除;2006出现严重后果;2014综合治理宣告成功。
主题意义
生态系统是关系网;善意行动也可能产生非预期结果,保护必须依据证据、统筹物种并持续监测。
【关键结构】用时间标记恢复事件顺序,用cause—effect链解释每次干预为何改变下一环节。
【课堂追问】Why did solving one problem sometimes create another on Macquarie Island?
【参考】Because each species was connected to others. Removing one pressure changed food and shelter relationships, so a local solution could shift the imbalance elsewhere.
2. WHY SHENNONGJIA?
语篇类型与目的
讲座稿;回答“神农架为何入选世界遗产名录”,并说明保护价值。
结构路径
问候与设问 → 两项入选理由 → 数据、例子与比较 → 人与自然和谐相处 → 总结与问答。
证据组织
海拔差异说明环境多样;物种数据支撑生物多样性;金丝猴与本土蜜蜂例子呈现具体保护行动。
主题意义
真正的保护既维护生物与生态过程,也尊重当地居民长期形成的可持续生活方式。
【课堂追问】How do data, examples and comparisons make the lecture more convincing?
【参考】Data show scale, examples make protection concrete, and comparisons help the audience see why the evidence matters. Together they turn a claim into a reasoned argument.
【迁移任务】用一句话比较两篇语篇的保护路径:Macquarie Island emphasizes ______, while Shennongjia highlights ______.
【示例】Macquarie Island emphasizes learning from unintended consequences, while Shennongjia highlights evidence-based protection and coexistence with local people.

知识点2:话题表达与语篇迁移
生态变化与保护表达链
表达功能
核心表达
迁移句型
描述失衡
upset the ecological balance; alien species; out of control
Introducing one species may upset the ecological balance and trigger unexpected change.
呈现后果
soil erosion; habitat loss; on the decrease; in consequence
Vegetation was damaged; in consequence, nesting areas became less secure.
解释联系
food web; coexist with; depend on; contribute to
Each species contributes to a network on which the whole ecosystem depends.
说明行动
remove a threat; monitor change; restore a habitat; once and for all
A lasting solution must remove the threat and monitor the system as a whole.
提供证据

升华主题
in harmony with nature; a shared responsibility
Conservation works best when people live in harmony with nature and accept shared responsibility.
【运用原则】先写清“变化—原因—后果—行动—证据”,再选择表达;不要把主题词孤立堆砌。
【迁移训练】围绕“Why must conservation be evidence-based?”写3句话:提出观点、给出例子、形成结论。
【示例】Conservation must be evidence-based because ecosystems contain hidden connections. On Macquarie Island, removing one species changed the pressure on others. Therefore, every intervention should be tested and followed by long-term monitoring.
知识点3:形式宾语it与讲座稿写作
形式宾语it:观察—比较—归纳—判断—运用
【观察】No visitors would think it surprising that the island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
【观察】Experts felt it necessary to come up with a plan.
【发现】两句均由it占据宾语位置;真正宾语分别是that从句和to do不定式。
比较维度
形式宾语it
指代性it / 形式主语it
位置与功能
位于谓语后,先占宾语位置;后置真正宾语。
指代性it有明确所指;形式主语it位于句首。
基本结构
V + it + adj./n. + to do / that...
It + be + adj. + to do / that...
常见动词
find, think, feel, consider, make, believe
指代性it可跟普通及物动词;形式主语常跟be。
固定结构
owe it to sb that...; take it for granted that...; see to it that...
like/hate/appreciate it when/if...中的it也先占宾语位置。
【判断流程】①谓语后是否需要宾语 → ②it后是否有宾补 → ③句尾是否出现to do/that从句 → ④能否把真正宾语前移。
【高频错误】漏写it;把it与真正宾语同时删掉;在make it possible后误用doing;把所有it都解释为“它”。

三、阅读理解(每题2.5分,共10分)
When “No Pests” Is Only the Beginning
In 2014, Macquarie Island was declared free of rabbits, rats and mice after an ambitious eradication programme. For decades, these introduced mammals had eaten native plants, damaged nesting areas and changed relationships across the food web. Removing them was a major success, but scientists did not treat the announcement as the end of the story.
Ten years later, researchers returned to examine what recovery actually looked like. The most obvious change was green: tall grasses and other native plants had spread across places that had once been closely grazed. Old photographs made the contrast dramatic. Yet the team also looked beyond attractive scenery. Recovering vegetation can provide shelter, hold soil in place and create conditions in which insects and seabirds can thrive. A change in one part of the system may therefore support several others.
The researchers compared new observations with a baseline collected before and during the eradication work. They studied fixed vegetation plots, repeated photographs and records of animal activity. Such evidence matters because species do not all respond at the same speed. Some plants return quickly, while slower-growing communities may need many years. Animals may also wait until suitable food and nesting cover are secure. A single visit could easily miss these different timelines.
Success has brought another responsibility: prevention. Ships, equipment and visitors can accidentally carry seeds, insects or disease to a remote island. Careful checks may seem less exciting than a large rescue operation, but they reduce the chance that the same kind of damage will begin again. Long-term monitoring also helps managers notice an unexpected change before it grows out of control.
Macquarie Island shows that restoration is not a rewind button. People cannot simply remove a threat and expect every relationship to return immediately. A better measure of success is whether the ecosystem is rebuilding its connections and becoming able to face future pressure. That requires patience, evidence and the willingness to keep learning after the headlines have faded.
15. What did the researchers' return visit mainly reveal?
A. The island's landscape had remained almost unchanged.
B. Native vegetation had visibly recovered in many places.
C. Visitors had become the island's greatest attraction.
D. Long-term monitoring was no longer necessary.
16. What does the word "baseline" in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. A starting set of measurements used for later comparison.
B. A legal boundary around a protected area.
C. A fence that prevents animals from entering.
D. A final score given to a conservation project.
17. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. A restored ecosystem never needs further human attention.
B. Removing pests guarantees that all species recover together.
C. Conservation must continue after the main action has succeeded.
D. Attractive scenery is sufficient evidence of full recovery.
18. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By listing instructions for tourists in time order.
B. By revisiting a success and drawing a wider lesson from it.
C. By comparing the climates of two distant islands.
D. By arguing that eradication programmes should be stopped.
【答案解析】
15. B 定位第2段:最直观的变化是本土植被重新扩展;A、C、D均与原文相反或无依据。
16. A 第3段说明研究者把新观察与行动前后的资料比较,baseline即后续比较的起始数据。
17. C 第4、5段强调预防、长期监测与持续学习;B把“必要条件”夸大为“充分条件”。
18. B 文章先回访十年前的治理成果,再从恢复速度、预防和监测提炼更广泛的保护启示。

A Small Wetland, A Long Lesson
When students at Greenbank School began restoring a small wetland, they 19 ______ the job would be simple: remove rubbish and make the water look clean. Their biology teacher asked them to wait. A wetland, she explained, is not a garden whose success can be judged 20 ______ by appearance. Healthy water must support plants, insects and birds, not merely please the eye.
First, the team mapped how water moved through the area. They measured sunlight, water depth and oxygen for two weeks before changing anything. Rather than treating the algae as the problem itself, they looked for the 21 ______ of the extra nutrients. Rainwater 22 ______ fertilizer from nearby lawns entered the pond through a drain. The students placed signs beside the drain and persuaded the school to 23 ______ fertilizer use. They also left part of the bank unmown, 24 ______ native plants to return.
Progress was 25 ______ than expected. After one storm, the water turned brown, and several students called the plan a 26 ______ . 27 ______ , tests showed that oxygen levels were improving. The muddy colour 28 ______ from freshly exposed soil, not from a collapse of the ecosystem. Within weeks, plant roots 29 ______ the bank; insects appeared, and birds 30 ______ . The return of these visitors suggested that food and shelter were rebuilding together.
Most importantly, the team changed how it measured success. 31 ______ asking whether the pond looked perfect, students recorded oxygen levels, plant variety and visits by birds. This made it 32 ______ to notice small improvements and respond to new 33 ______ . The project taught them that conservation is not a single dramatic act. It is a process of understanding connections, testing decisions and correcting course before a small problem grows out of control.

23. A reduce 与fertilizer use构成自然搭配。
24. A allowing 结果状语:不割草使本土植物得以返回。
25. A slower than expected要求比较级,且下文显示恢复并不迅速。

【参考范文】
Good morning, everyone. Today I want to talk about the wetland beside our school. Litter and excess nutrients have made it difficult for native plants to thrive. We consider it essential to protect the wetland because it stores rainwater and provides a secure home for birds and insects. Last month, volunteers removed twelve bags of rubbish, and we found it encouraging that kingfishers returned soon afterwards. However, one clean-up is not enough. Please reduce plastic use, keep fertilizer away from drains and join our monthly survey. Small actions can restore a delicate world. Thank you.
【教师点拨】先检查交际体裁和四项内容,再圈出形式宾语结构及证据;若只有口号而无事实或行动,内容与论证均应扣分。

知识点3:形式宾语it与讲座稿写作
形式宾语it:观察—比较—归纳—判断—运用
【观察】No visitors would think it surprising that the island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
【观察】Experts felt it necessary to come up with a plan.
【发现】两句均由it占据宾语位置;真正宾语分别是that从句和to do不定式。
比较维度
形式宾语it
指代性it / 形式主语it
位置与功能
位于谓语后,先占宾语位置;后置真正宾语。
指代性it有明确所指;形式主语it位于句首。
基本结构
V + it + adj./n. + to do / that...
It + be + adj. + to do / that...
常见动词
find, think, feel, consider, make, believe
指代性it可跟普通及物动词;形式主语常跟be。
固定结构
owe it to sb that...; take it for granted that...; see to it that...
like/hate/appreciate it when/if...中的it也先占宾语位置。
【判断流程】①谓语后是否需要宾语 → ②it后是否有宾补 → ③句尾是否出现to do/that从句 → ④能否把真正宾语前移。
【高频错误】漏写it;把it与真正宾语同时删掉;在make it possible后误用doing;把所有it都解释为“它”。

三、阅读理解(每题2.5分,共10分)
When “No Pests” Is Only the Beginning
In 2014, Macquarie Island was declared free of rabbits, rats and mice after an ambitious eradication programme. For decades, these introduced mammals had eaten native plants, damaged nesting areas and changed relationships across the food web. Removing them was a major success, but scientists did not treat the announcement as the end of the story.
Ten years later, researchers returned to examine what recovery actually looked like. The most obvious change was green: tall grasses and other native plants had spread across places that had once been closely grazed. Old photographs made the contrast dramatic. Yet the team also looked beyond attractive scenery. Recovering vegetation can provide shelter, hold soil in place and create conditions in which insects and seabirds can thrive. A change in one part of the system may therefore support several others.
The researchers compared new observations with a baseline collected before and during the eradication work. They studied fixed vegetation plots, repeated photographs and records of animal activity. Such evidence matters because species do not all respond at the same speed. Some plants return quickly, while slower-growing communities may need many years. Animals may also wait until suitable food and nesting cover are secure. A single visit could easily miss these different timelines.
Success has brought another responsibility: prevention. Ships, equipment and visitors can accidentally carry seeds, insects or disease to a remote island. Careful checks may seem less exciting than a large rescue operation, but they reduce the chance that the same kind of damage will begin again. Long-term monitoring also helps managers notice an unexpected change before it grows out of control.
Macquarie Island shows that restoration is not a rewind button. People cannot simply remove a threat and expect every relationship to return immediately. A better measure of success is whether the ecosystem is rebuilding its connections and becoming able to face future pressure. That requires patience, evidence and the willingness to keep learning after the headlines have faded.
15. What did the researchers' return visit mainly reveal?
A. The island's landscape had remained almost unchanged.
B. Native vegetation had visibly recovered in many places.
C. Visitors had become the island's greatest attraction.
D. Long-term monitoring was no longer necessary.
16. What does the word "baseline" in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. A starting set of measurements used for later comparison.
B. A legal boundary around a protected area.
C. A fence that prevents animals from entering.
D. A final score given to a conservation project.
17. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. A restored ecosystem never needs further human attention.
B. Removing pests guarantees that all species recover together.
C. Conservation must continue after the main action has succeeded.
D. Attractive scenery is sufficient evidence of full recovery.
18. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By listing instructions for tourists in time order.
B. By revisiting a success and drawing a wider lesson from it.
C. By comparing the climates of two distant islands.
D. By arguing that eradication programmes should be stopped.
四、完形填空(每题1分,共15分)
A Small Wetland, A Long Lesson
When students at Greenbank School began restoring a small wetland, they 19 ______ the job would be simple: remove rubbish and make the water look clean. Their biology teacher asked them to wait. A wetland, she explained, is not a garden whose success can be judged 20 ______ by appearance. Healthy water must support plants, insects and birds, not merely please the eye.
First, the team mapped how water moved through the area. They measured sunlight, water depth and oxygen for two weeks before changing anything. Rather than treating the algae as the problem itself, they looked for the 21 ______ of the extra nutrients. Rainwater 22 ______ fertilizer from nearby lawns entered the pond through a drain. The students placed signs beside the drain and persuaded the school to 23 ______ fertilizer use. They also left part of the bank unmown, 24 ______ native plants to return.
Progress was 25 ______ than expected. After one storm, the water turned brown, and several students called the plan a 26 ______ . 27 ______ , tests showed that oxygen levels were improving. The muddy colour 28 ______ from freshly exposed soil, not from a collapse of the ecosystem. Within weeks, plant roots 29 ______ the bank; insects appeared, and birds 30 ______ . The return of these visitors suggested that food and shelter were rebuilding together.
Most importantly, the team changed how it measured success. 31 ______ asking whether the pond looked perfect, students recorded oxygen levels, plant variety and visits by birds. This made it 32 ______ to notice small improvements and respond to new 33 ______ . The project taught them that conservation is not a single dramatic act. It is a process of understanding connections, testing decisions and correcting course before a small problem grows out of control.
