1、 阅读理解(2023·全国甲卷阅读理解D)
Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5m long and weigh over 400kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche—we revere (敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams.Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and their answer is often the same: a grizzly bear.
“Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range,” says bear biologist Chris Servheen.As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven't been seen in a century or more, they're increasingly being sighted by humans.
The western half of the U.S.was full of grizzlies when Europeans came, with a rough number of 50,000 or more living alongside Native Americans.By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies.In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S.Their recovery has been so successful that the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to de-list grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted.Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups.For now, grizzlies remain listed.
Obviously, if precautions (预防) aren't taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food.If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble.Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away.“Our hope is to have a clean, attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits,” says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.
1.How do Americans look at grizzlies?
A.They cause mixed feelings in people.
B.They should be kept in national parks.
C.They are of high scientific value.
D.They are a symbol of American culture.
解析:A 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,人们对灰熊既害怕又敬畏。由此可知,人们对它们的情感是复杂的。故选A。
2.What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?
A.The European settlers' behavior.
B.The expansion of bears' range.
C.The protection by law since 1975.
D.The support of Native Americans.
解析:C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.”和第四段中的“Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S.”可以推断,灰熊的数量增长与1975年以来的法律保护息息相关。故选C。
3.What has stopped the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service from de-listing grizzlies?
A.The opposition of conservation groups.
B.The successful comeback of grizzlies.
C.The voice of the biologists.
D.The local farmers' advocates.
解析:A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups.”可知,动物保护组织的反对阻止了美国鱼类及野生动植物管理局将灰熊从美国濒危物种名单上除名。故选A。
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Food should be provided for grizzlies.
B.People can live in harmony with grizzlies.
C.A special path should be built for grizzlies.
D.Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.
解析:B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If people remove food and attractants ...is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away.”可以推断,人类可以和灰熊和谐共处。故选B。

语篇导读:文章讲述了两个13岁的女孩纳塔莉和考利从养帝王蝶的业余爱好到致力于保护帝王蝶的故事,她们的项目最终获奖且受到好评。
1.解析:B 根据上文“for fun”可知,起初她们养帝王蝶是为了好玩,即养帝王蝶是她们的业余爱好,后来才变成了她们的任务。hobby意为“业余爱好”,符合语境。dream梦想;career事业;decision决定。故选B。
2解析:C 根据第二段中的“the monarch is an endangered species”和下文的“widespread use of chemicals... their main diet dangerous to eat”可知,帝王蝶已经是濒危物种,数量应该是减少了的。decline意为“减少,下降”,符合语境。double(使)加倍;age变老;explode爆炸。故选C。
3.解析:D 设空处与and后的名词短语“widespread use of chemicals”并列;再结合第二段提到帝王蝶是濒危物种并结合选项可知,此处指由于栖息地的破坏和化学物质的广泛使用,帝王蝶的数量已经下降。destruction 意为“破坏”,符合语境。management管理;assessment评估;selection选择。故选D。
4.解析:A 根据本句的“the milkweeds(马利筋草) the monarchs 4 for their main diet”可知,该空是定语从句的谓语,从句修饰先行词the milkweeds;再根据diet 可知,此处指帝王蝶所依赖的主要食物马利筋草。rely on 意为“依赖”,符合语境。keep off(使)让开;break down使分解;give away捐赠。故选A。
5.解析:D 根据下文的“The garden grew organic milkweeds”可知,这个本土花园种植帝王蝶的主要食物马利筋草,由此可得出这是专门为帝王蝶种植的本土花园。specially意为“尤其,专门地”,符合语境。partly 部分地;secretly秘密地;rarely很少。故选D。
6.解析:A 本空位于that引导的定语从句中。根据上文及“and kept the butterflies”可知,设空处与kept是并列关系,此处应是指吸引并饲养帝王蝶。attract意为“吸引”,符合语境。protect保护;monitor监视;trap使落入险境。故选A。
7.解析:B 根据下文的“they created an exhibition about the monarchs in the local library”可知,她们举办关于帝王蝶的展览的目的是教育当地人保护帝王蝶,呼应下文的“They also wanted to put up an educational sign in town”。educate 意为“教育”,符合语境。employ雇用;force迫使;limit限制。故选B。
8.解析:B 根据上文中的“but”可知,此处与上一分句是转折关系,表示张贴教育标识有困难;再根据下文中的“To cover the expense”可知是费用太高。cost意为“花费”,符合语境。mean 意味着;change改变;hurt伤害。故选B。
9.解析:C 根据第三段最后的“dangerous”和第四段第二句中的“organic”可知,此处应表示把健康的马利筋草卖给人们。healthy意为“健康的”,符合语境。dry干燥的;medical医学的;wild野生的。故选C。
10.解析:C 根据空前的“Although”和下文的“finally succeeded in earning enough money”可知,此处应该是指募捐的日子很漫长(辛苦)。long 意为“漫长的”,符合语境。pleasing令人愉悦的;light明亮的; disappointing令人失望的。故选C。
11.解析:A 上文提到她们与一个全国性的非营利组织合作,采取行动保护帝王蝶。由此可知,她们获得银河奖,是因为她们保护蝴蝶的这个项目。project意为“项目”,符合语境。concept概念;schedule计划;assignment任务。故选A。
12.解析:C 根据空后的“Our next step is to cut down on...”可知,她们的行动还未结束。finish意为“完成”,符合语境。concern担忧;connect连接;occupy占据。故选C。
13.解析:A 根据文章第三段中的“widespread use of chemicals, which made the milkweeds(马利筋草) the monarchs 4 for their main diet dangerous to eat”以及下文“to guarantee a safe environment”可知,因化学物质的广泛使用帝王蝶的生存环境不安全,所以要减少化学品的使用,以保证帝王蝶拥有安全的环境。chemical 意为“化学制品”,符合语境。time时间;fund基金;energy精力。故选A。
14. 解析:D 根据下文的“I am so proud of them”可知,这是老师布莱恩评论的话语。comment意为“评论”,符合语境。quote引用;continue继续;reply回答。故选D。

三.七选五
(2024·八省八市第一次联考)Have you ever caught a smell of something and been strongly reminded of a person or place? There seems to be a deep psychological link between smells and our memory. Some research even suggests that smells can influence our cognition(认知,感知).
1. Roja Dove,a perfumer, informed the BBC that when we are born, the olfactory bulb(嗅球), which is the area in our brain that processes smell, is empty, without pre-existing information or association. 2. When we smell an odour again, the original and unique memory comes flooding back because of the association acquired in our previous experience.
Our awareness of smells is primarily unconscious. 3. But, low-level smells are still picked up because the scent receptors(感受器) in our brain are so powerful that we unconsciously register them. In fact, various studies have found the olfactory bulb sends more neurons(神经元) to more areas of our brain than our hearing or vision.
Research suggests that the power of smell can also affect how the brain performs. 4. Mark Moss at Northumbria University's Psychology Department discovered that certain essential oils, such as peppermint, positively impact cognition, and rosemary's scent can enhance memory. He also studied lavender, which he says “tends to impair memory and slow reaction time”. But research by others has shown it to be useful in reducing pre-treatment anxiety in dental and medical situations.
5. The next time a familiar smell brings back a special memory, just remember that your nose is working wonders.
A.Why do smells take us back?
B.So, don't take your nose for granted.
C.How is the sense of smell connected to your brain?
D.Scents can revive memories that have been long forgotten.
E.We are not actively aware of them unless they are extremely strong.
F.This is especially true when it comes to the fragrance of essential oils.
G.Therefore, our responses to smells are learnt and highly individualized.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。主题语境为人与自我,文章主要介绍了嗅觉如何影响我们的认知。
解析:
1.A 第一段说嗅觉和记忆似乎有心理关联,且研究发现气味会影响我们的认知。下文引用调香师 Roja Dove的话说明嗅觉和记忆之间的关系。因此,A 项“为什么气味会唤起记忆?”承上启下,符合语境。C项中 your brain中的 your与段落的叙述角度不符。故选A。
2.G 空前一句说当我们出生时,大脑中处理气味的嗅球是空的,没有预先存在的信息或联系。因此,G 项“因此我们对气味的反应是后天习得的,而且是高度个性化的”符合语境。故选G。
3.E 空前一句说我们对气味的感知基本上是无意识的,空后说比较淡的气味仍然会被捕捉到,因为我们大脑中的气味感受器非常强大,我们会无意识地将它们记录下来。因此,E项“除非气味异常浓烈,否则我们不会主动意识到它们。”承上启下,符合语境。故选E。
4.F 空前一句说研究表明,嗅觉的力量也会影响大脑的运行方式。空后举了几个例子说明植物精油(薄荷、迷迭香和薰衣草)会影响认知、记忆和情绪。因此,该空属于过渡句,F 项“当涉及精油的香味时尤其如此。”承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
5.B 最后一段总结全文。既然嗅觉如此重要,我们不要认为鼻子是理所当然的。因此,B项“因此,不要认为你的鼻子是理所当然的。”符合语境。故选B。
四.语法填空
The other day, I saw a poster about illegal hunting, 1.__________ immediately stirred up strong emotions in me. Many species are dying out 2.__________ an alarming rate due to human activities. About three species become extinct every hour on average. 3.__________ (make) more profits, some people shoot masses of whales, sharks and deer for their meat, fur or skin. Kangaroos, koalas and dolphins are reduced to 4.__________ (danger) species because their habitats are threatened. However, the authorities are aware of 5.__________ should on earth be done and unusual and effective measures are being taken to preserve wildlife. Volunteers set up nature reserves on the plain, and watch over them day and night to keep them from 6.__________ (attack).Gradually, they make progress and the antelope population 7.__________ (recover).Some species are removed from the endangered species list. Only when we learn to exist in8.__________ (harmonious) with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet. All living creatures including insects in your neighborhoods have equal rights to live. We should search for 9.__________ (approach) to protecting them and observe their beauty instead of just being concerned about the problem. We human beings should always remind 10.__________ (we) that the solution exists in our action.
解析
1. which
解析:考查非限制性定语从句。先行词是前面整句话「I saw a poster about illegal hunting」,关系代词which指代整件事,在从句中作主语,逗号隔开不能用that。
2. at
解析:固定搭配 at an alarming rate 以惊人的速度;rate(速度、比率)搭配介词只用at。
3. To make
解析:考查不定式作目的状语。句子主干是some people shoot...,前面“为了赚取更多利润”是猎杀动物的目的,不定式放句首表目的,首字母大写。
4. endangered
解析:形容词修饰名词species。endangered species 濒危物种;danger是名词“危险”,endangered 形容词“濒临灭绝的”。
5. what
解析:宾语从句引导词。介词of后接宾语从句,从句缺主语,指代“应该做的事”,用连接代词what。
句意:当局清楚究竟应该采取什么措施。
6. being attacked
解析:固定搭配 keep sb./sth. from doing sth. 阻止……做某事;主语them(野生动物)和attack是被动关系“被伤害”,因此用动名词被动式being attacked。
7. has recovered
解析:时态。前一句Gradually, they make progress(逐渐取得成效),后句表示羚羊数量已经恢复,是过去动作持续到现在的结果,用现在完成时population为单数,助动词用has。
8. harmony
解析:固定短语 in harmony with 与……和谐共处;括号内harmonious是形容词,此处介词in后面需要名词harmony。
9. approaches
解析:名词复数。approach表示“方法、途径”,是可数名词;前面无冠词a,表泛指多种保护方法,用复数approaches。
10. ourselves
解析:反身代词。remind oneself that… 提醒我们自己……,主语是we,对应反身代词ourselves。

Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5m long and weigh over 400kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche—we revere (敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams.Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and their answer is often the same: a grizzly bear.
“Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range,” says bear biologist Chris Servheen.As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven't been seen in a century or more, they're increasingly being sighted by humans.
The western half of the U.S.was full of grizzlies when Europeans came, with a rough number of 50,000 or more living alongside Native Americans.By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies.In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S.Their recovery has been so successful that the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to de-list grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted.Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups.For now, grizzlies remain listed.
Obviously, if precautions (预防) aren't taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food.If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble.Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away.“Our hope is to have a clean, attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits,” says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.
1.How do Americans look at grizzlies?
A.They cause mixed feelings in people.
B.They should be kept in national parks.
C.They are of high scientific value.
D.They are a symbol of American culture.
2.What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?
A.The European settlers' behavior.
B.The expansion of bears' range.
C.The protection by law since 1975.
D.The support of Native Americans.
3.What has stopped the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service from de-listing grizzlies?
A.The opposition of conservation groups.
B.The successful comeback of grizzlies.
C.The voice of the biologists.
D.The local farmers' advocates.
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Food should be provided for grizzlies.
B.People can live in harmony with grizzlies.
C.A special path should be built for grizzlies.
D.Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.

三.七选五
(2024·八省八市第一次联考)Have you ever caught a smell of something and been strongly reminded of a person or place? There seems to be a deep psychological link between smells and our memory. Some research even suggests that smells can influence our cognition(认知,感知).
1. Roja Dove,a perfumer, informed the BBC that when we are born, the olfactory bulb(嗅球), which is the area in our brain that processes smell, is empty, without pre-existing information or association. 2. When we smell an odour again, the original and unique memory comes flooding back because of the association acquired in our previous experience.
Our awareness of smells is primarily unconscious. 3. But, low-level smells are still picked up because the scent receptors(感受器) in our brain are so powerful that we unconsciously register them. In fact, various studies have found the olfactory bulb sends more neurons(神经元) to more areas of our brain than our hearing or vision.
Research suggests that the power of smell can also affect how the brain performs. 4. Mark Moss at Northumbria University's Psychology Department discovered that certain essential oils, such as peppermint, positively impact cognition, and rosemary's scent can enhance memory. He also studied lavender, which he says “tends to impair memory and slow reaction time”. But research by others has shown it to be useful in reducing pre-treatment anxiety in dental and medical situations.
5. The next time a familiar smell brings back a special memory, just remember that your nose is working wonders.
A.Why do smells take us back?
B.So, don't take your nose for granted.
C.How is the sense of smell connected to your brain?
D.Scents can revive memories that have been long forgotten.
E.We are not actively aware of them unless they are extremely strong.
F.This is especially true when it comes to the fragrance of essential oils.
G.Therefore, our responses to smells are learnt and highly individualized.
