Ⅰ．阅读理解

A

　　（2026•广州二中高二月考）With its rolling hills， dramatic waterfalls， and rich woodlands， the Durham Dales in England provides a natural habitat for birds — and it’s also home to zoologist and artist Sara Cox．Surrounded by nature since childhood， she has always been passionate about birds．Today， she creates detailed bird sculptures made from fine metal wire， combining scientific knowledge with artistic creativity to raise awareness about the challenges facing bird populations and to inspire people to care for them．

　　As a child， Sara spent much of her time outdoors with her brothers — exploring the garden or walking in the countryside．These early experiences helped her develop a deep appreciation for the natural world．At the same time， creativity was a strong presence in her home： her father， an engineer， enjoyed welding （焊接） and building， while her mother made pottery in her spare time．Their hands－on skills and artistic sensibility gave Sara both technical and creative foundations．Later， when she moved to Mickleton 20 years ago， the surrounding wildlife became a powerful source of inspiration．Observing birds up close in their natural habitat helped her find her own artistic voice and connect her love of nature with sculpture．

　　Sara’s wire bird sculptures are the result of careful observation and detailed study．She will sit outside for hours， sketching and observing their movements — right down to how their muscles work and how they shift their weight．She also visits museums to study bird skeletons （骨架） so she can understand the structure beneath the feathers．“To sculpt a bird accurately， I need to know what’s underneath，” she explains．

　　Her sculptures have been shown in national exhibitions， including one held by the Royal Society of British Artists in London．They can also be seen along nature trails （小径）， such as at the Durham

Wildlife Trust’s Low Barns reserve．Whether displayed in galleries or out in the wild， her work has been praised by museums， galleries， and wildlife trusts alike for its scientific accuracy， emotional impact， and ability to encourage greater appreciation for bird species．

1.Why did Sara Cox create bird sculptures？（　　）

A．To promote her hometown．　 B．To display her artistic talent．

C．To inspire conservation efforts．　 D．To support scientific research．

2.Which experience most helped Sara Cox develop her artistic voice？（　　）

A．Trying different art techniques．　 B．Having close contact with birds．

C．Growing up in a creative family．　 D．Exploring nature with her brothers．

3.Which words can best describe Sara Cox？（　　）

A．Patient and precise．　 B．Curious and brave．

C．Confident and proud．　 D．Creative and humorous．

4.Why is the Royal Society of British Artists mentioned in the last paragraph？（　　）

A．To illustrate the UK’s top art institutions．

B．To contrast national and local art scenes．

C．To explain the further study Sara pursued．

D．To highlight the recognition Sara received．

　　Trained rats could help fight against the multi－billion－dollar illegal wildlife trade by using their heightened sense of smell to catch trafficked animal products．

　　The non－profit organisation APOPO already uses southern giant pouched rats to sniff for landmines in post－conflict zones and to detect tuberculosis．Now， Isabelle Szott， Kate Webb and their colleagues at APOPO have tested the ability of the pouched rats to detect four commonly trafficked items from endangered species： rhino horn， elephant ivory， pangolin scales and African blackwood．

　　Between 2015 and 2021， rhinos， pangolins and elephants accounted for 73 percent of wildlife trafficking seizures （没收物） by authorities．
