With its black-and-white fur and round face, it has become a symbol of wildlife protection. In March 2026, the Giant Panda National Park released new data showing that the wild panda population had increased to 1,864, and their habitat had expanded by nearly 20%. Why are pandas so important? First, they are an “umbrella species.” When we protect pandas and their habitat, we also protect many other plants and animals that live in the same area. Second, pandas are a symbol of China’s efforts to protect nature. Their recovery shows that conservation works. However, pandas still face challenges. Climate change and human activities continue to threaten their bamboo forests. Scientists are working hard to find better ways to protect them. As a researcher said, “Pandas are not just cute animals. They are a reminder that we share this planet with other living beings. Protecting them means protecting ourselves.” Questions: 1. What did the March 2026 data show about giant pandas? 2. Why are pandas called an “umbrella species”? 3. What challenges do pandas still face? 4. What did the researcher say about pandas? 5. What is the main idea of the passage? Passage 2 (词数:190) 热点导读: 2026年4月,永乐某地首次发现世界极危鸟类—勺嘴鹬,这一发现引起国际鸟类保护组织的高度关注。这种全球仅存不足500只的小鸟,对栖息地环境要求极高,被科学家称为“滨海湿地的活指标”。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) The Rarest Bird in the World In April 2026, a group of birdwatchers in Jiangsu Province made an exciting discovery. They found a spoon-billed sandpiper — one of the rarest birds in the world. This small bird is so rare that there are fewer than 500 left in the world. It is called the “living indicator” of coastal wetlands. The spoon-billed sandpiper is special for several reasons. First, it is extremely picky about its habitat. It only lives in coastal wetlands with specific conditions. Second, it has a unique spoon-shaped beak that it uses to catch small fish and insects. Third, its population has dropped sharply because of habitat loss and climate change. This discovery excited scientists and bird lovers around the world. It shows that with better protection, even the rarest animals have a chance to survive. Local governments are now working to protect the wetlands where the bird was found. As one birdwatcher said, “Every time we find a spoon-billed sandpiper, it gives us hope. It means we are doing something right.” Questions: 1. What bird was discovered in Jiangsu in April 2026? 2. How many spoon-billed sandpipers are left in the world? 3. Why is the spoon-billed sandpiper’s beak special? 4. Why did the bird’s population drop? 5. What does finding a spoon-billed sandpiper mean to birdwatchers? Passage 3 (词数:192) 热点导读: 2026年6月,云南某地发现一株“身高”超过10米的巨型魔芋,其花朵直径达1.5米,是世界上最大的花朵之一。这种植物一生只开一次花,花期仅48小时,且散发腐肉气味吸引昆虫传粉。大自然的神奇,远超我们的想象。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) The Giant Flower that Smells Like Rotting Meat Have you ever seen a flower that is taller than a person? The titan arum, also known as the “corpse flower,” is one of the largest and strangest flowers in the world. In June 2026, a giant titan arum over 10 meters tall was discovered in Yunnan. Its flower measured 1.5 meters across. The titan arum is amazing for many reasons. First, it is huge — it can grow taller than a small house. Second, it only blooms once in its lifetime, and the flower lasts for only 48 hours. Third, it smells like rotting meat! This smell attracts insects that help the flower reproduce. Why does it smell so bad? The flower uses its strong smell to attract flies and beetles. These insects come to the flower thinking there is food, but instead they pick up pollen and carry it to other flowers. “Nature is full of surprises,” said a botanist. “The corpse flower shows us that beauty is not always about fragrance. Sometimes, the most amazing things are the strangest ones.” Questions: 1. What is the titan arum also called? 2. How long does the flower of the titan arum last? 3. Why does the titan arum smell like rotting meat? 4. What insects does the flower attract? 5. What did the botanist say about nature? Passage 4 (词数:190) 热点导读: 2026年7月,永乐某地自然保护区内的红外相机首次拍摄到野生东北虎带崽的珍贵影像。这种中国最濒危的大型猫科动物,现存野生数量仅约50只。保护东北虎,就是保护完整的森林生态系统。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) The King of the Forest The Siberian tiger, also known as the Amur tiger, is the largest cat in the world. It is also one of the rarest. In July 2026, a camera trap in a nature reserve in Northeast China captured something amazing: a wild Siberian tiger mother with her cubs. This was the first time such a sight had been recorded. Siberian tigers are special in many ways. First, they are huge — an adult male can weigh over 300 kilograms. Second, they have thick fur to survive the cold winters of Northeast China. Third, they are top predators. They help keep the forest ecosystem balanced by controlling the population of other animals. However, Siberian tigers are endangered. There are only about 50 left in the wild in China. Habitat loss and poaching are the main threats. “Seeing a tiger mother with her cubs is a sign of hope,” said a conservationist. “It means our protection efforts are working. But we still have a long way to go.” Questions: 1. What was captured by the camera trap in July 2026? 2. How much can an adult male Siberian tiger weigh? 3. Why are Siberian tigers important for the ecosystem? 4. How many wild Siberian tigers are left in China? 5. What did the conservationist say about the tiger sighting? Passage 5 (词数:190) 热点导读: 2026年8月,中国科学家在西藏发现一种能够在海拔5000米以上生存的苔藓植物。这种“冰川苔藓”不仅能抵御零下40摄氏度的严寒,还能在贫瘠的岩石上扎根生长。生命的力量,在最极端的环境中绽放得最为灿烂。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) Life on the Roof of the World In August 2026, Chinese scientists made an exciting discovery in Tibet. They found a type of moss that can survive at altitudes above 5,000 meters. This “glacier moss” can withstand temperatures as low as -40 C and grow on bare rocks. This moss is truly amazing. First, it can survive extreme cold and strong UV rays. Second, it grows very slowly — it might take 50 years to grow just a few centimeters. Third, it plays an important role in the ecosystem. It helps break down rocks into soil, allowing other plants to grow. It also stores water and provides food for small animals. Why is this discovery important? It shows how life can adapt to the most extreme conditions. It also helps scientists understand how plants might survive on other planets. “This moss is a real survivor,” said a biologist. “It teaches us that life can find a way, even in the harshest places. If a tiny plant can live on the roof of the world, what else is possible?” Questions: 1. Where was the glacier moss discovered? 2. How cold can the glacier moss withstand? 3. Why is the glacier moss important for the ecosystem? 4. How fast does the glacier moss grow? 5. What did the biologist say about the moss? Passage 6 (词数:205) 热点导读: 2025年9月,世界自然基金会发布《地球生命力报告2026》,指出全球野生动物种群数量在过去50年平均下降73%。报告发出严厉警告:地球正在经历第六次物种大灭绝。保护生物多样性,已经刻不容缓。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) The Web of Life Did you know that all living things on Earth are connected? This connection is called the “web of life.” Every plant and animal plays a role in maintaining the balance of nature. When one species disappears, it affects many others. In September 2025, the World Wildlife Fund released its Living Planet Report 2025. The report showed that global wildlife populations have dropped by an average of 73% in the past 50 years. This is the sixth mass extinction in Earth‘s history, and it is caused by human activities. Why does biodiversity matter? First, it keeps ecosystems healthy. A diverse ecosystem is stronger and more resilient. Second, it provides us with resources — food, medicine, clean air, and water. Third, it gives us beauty and inspiration. Imagine a world without forests, without coral reefs, without birds singing. “We are part of nature, not separate from it,” said a WWF expert. “When we protect nature, we are protecting ourselves.” The time to act is now. Questions: 1. What is the “web of life”? 2. What did the Living Planet Report 2025 show? 3. Why does biodiversity matter? 4. What did the WWF expert say about humans and nature? 5. What is the main message of the passage? Passage 7 (词数:208) 热点导读: 2025年10月,中国科学院西双版纳热带植物园宣布发现一种新的“会跳舞的兰花”。这种兰花的花瓣在受到特定频率声波刺激时会轻微摆动,仿佛在“舞蹈”。这一发现为研究植物与声音的关系提供了全新视角。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) Dancing with the Sun Can plants move? Most of us think of plants as still and silent. But some plants do move — and in surprising ways! In October 2025, researchers at the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden announced the discovery of a new “dancing orchid.” Its petals sway slightly when stimulated by certain sound waves. How do plants move? Some plants, like the sunflower, turn their faces toward the sun. This is called phototropism. Others, like the Venus flytrap, snap shut to catch insects. The dancing orchid has a more subtle movement — its petals vibrate with sound. Why do plants move? For survival. Sunflowers track the sun to get more energy. Venus flytraps move to catch food. The dancing orchid may use its movement to attract pollinators. “Plants are more active than we think,” said a botanist. “They respond to light, touch, and even sound. The dancing orchid reminds us that there is still so much we don‘t know about the plant world.” Questions: 1. What was discovered at the Xishuangbanna Botanical Garden? 2. What is phototropism? 3. How does the Venus flytrap move? 4. Why do plants move? 5. What did the botanist say about plants? Passage 8 (词数:210) 热点导读: 2025年11月,长隆野生动物世界诞生了一只罕见的“金虎”幼崽。金虎是孟加拉虎的基因突变变种,全球仅存约30只。它的诞生为濒危物种的研究和保护带来了新的希望。每一个生命的降临,都是自然给予人类的礼物。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) A Golden Miracle In November 2025, Chimelong Wildlife World in Guangdong welcomed a very special newborn — a golden tiger cub. Golden tigers are not a separate species. They are a rare color variation of the Bengal tiger, caused by a genetic mutation. There are only about 30 golden tigers in the world. What makes golden tigers so special? First, their golden-orange fur with pale stripes is extremely beautiful. Second, they are incredibly rare — even rarer than white tigers. Third, they can help scientists study genetics and conservation. “This cub is a miracle,” said the zoo’s chief veterinarian. “Every birth is precious, but this one gives us hope. It reminds us that we need to protect tigers in the wild, too.” Tigers are endangered everywhere. There are only about 4,000 tigers left in the wild. Protecting them requires strong laws, better habitat protection, and public awareness. Every tiger, whether golden or orange, is worth protecting. Questions: 1. What was born at Chimelong Wildlife World? 2. What is a golden tiger? 3. How many golden tigers are there in the world? 4. What did the zoo’s chief veterinarian say about the cub? 5. What do we need to protect wild tigers? Passage 9 (词数:208) 热点导读: 2026年,国际知名摄影大赛作品《最后的森林》引发广泛关注。照片中,一片孤零零的树木矗立在广阔的棕榈油种植园中,形成鲜明对比。这张照片无声地诉说着:人类的扩张正以牺牲自然为代价。保护森林,就是保护我们的未来。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) The Forest that Disappeared Forests are often called the “lungs of the Earth.” They take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. They are home to millions of species. They provide us with wood, medicine, and clean water. But every year, we lose large areas of forest. In 2026, a photograph titled The Last Forest won an international photography competition. The photo showed a lone group of trees standing in the middle of a vast palm oil plantation. The contrast was shocking — the green of the forest against the brown of the cleared land. It was a silent but powerful message about deforestation. Why are forests disappearing? The main causes are agriculture, logging, and urban development. Palm oil plantations have destroyed huge areas of rainforest, especially in Southeast Asia. When forests disappear, so do the animals that depend on them. “This photograph is a warning,” said the photographer. “We are losing our forests at an alarming rate. If we don‘t act now, future generations will only see trees in pictures.” Questions: 1. Why are forests called the “lungs of the Earth”? 2. What was the title of the winning photograph? 3. What did the photograph show? 4. Why are forests disappearing? 5. What warning did the photographer give? Passage 10 (词数:215) 热点导读: 2025年,中国宣布“三北”防护林工程已完成造林面积超过3000万公顷,这项历时半个世纪的宏伟工程,被称为“中国的绿色长城”。每一棵树,都是人类与自然和解的见证;每一片绿,都是留给未来的希望。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) A Green Wall of Hope This is the big question of this unit: What makes plants and animals amazing? After reading about giant pandas, rare birds, corpse flowers, Siberian tigers, glacier moss, and golden tigers, we might begin to find our answer. Perhaps plants and animals are amazing because they have adapted to survive. They live in the hottest deserts and the coldest mountains. They have the strangest shapes and colors. They show us that life is incredibly powerful. Perhaps they are amazing because of the roles they play. They give us food, clean the air, and keep ecosystems balanced. Without them, we could not survive. Perhaps they are amazing because they connect us to something larger. When we see a tiger mother with her cubs, we feel wonder. When we smell a flower, we feel joy. These connections make us human. In 2025, China announced that the “Three-North” Shelterbelt Project had planted trees across over 30 million hectares. This “Green Great Wall” is proof that we can heal the planet. Every tree is a promise — a promise that we will protect what is precious, for ourselves and for future generations. Questions: 1. What were three reasons why plants and animals are amazing? 2. How do plants and animals show that life is powerful? 3. What roles do plants and animals play? 4. How do plants and animals connect us to something larger? 5. What is the significance of the “Three-North” Shelterbelt Project? 解析版答案 答题规范说明: 细节题(第1-4题):答案不超过8-10个单词 推理/概括/观点题(第5题):答案不超过15-20个单词 解析:包含原文定位句、推理过程与答案提炼逻辑 Passage 1 — The Symbol of Wildlife Protection 1.
