AC is a must when it’s this hot, but it makes power grid work too hard. Also, AC uses refrigerants. Those are greenhouse gases that trap more heat than carbon dioxide. Here are 7 simple alternatives to AC: 1. Quick fixes: Close south-facing windows during the day to keep heat out, then open them at night. Fans cool you by drying sweat — ceiling fans work best. For the long run, plant trees. 2. Cook outside: Use a portable barbecue. Cooking inside is a big heat source for your home. 3. New tech: Evaporative coolers: Good for dry areas, and use only 1/4 the energy of AC. 4. Heat pumps: Cool in summer and warm in winter. They cut home energy use by half, and over 30 countries have subsidies for them. Some use water or underground pipes (geothermal) to work better. 5. Green roofs: Have plants on top, which cool via water evaporation — but need stronger roofs to hold them. 6. Cool roofs: Just painted white. They reflect 90% of heat, like how Greece paints buildings white in summer. 7. Building design: Look at old-style homes in hot places; Windcatchers (they catch cool air); Materials like bricks or stone (hold heat well); Shady central yards. Experts stress AC should be a last resort, not a first choice. 1.What is the main difference between evaporative coolers and heat pumps according to the text? A. Evaporative coolers work in all climates, while heat pumps only suit dry areas. B. Evaporative coolers only cool, while heat pumps can both cool and warm. C. Evaporative coolers need subsidies, while heat pumps are fully free. D. Evaporative coolers use geothermal energy while heat pumps rely on sweat evaporation. 2.Which of the following statements about roof cooling methods is true? A. Green roofs can be used on any roof without extra preparation. B. Cool roofs cool buildings by absorbing most thermal energy. C. Green roofs demand more solid roofs to sustain the plants on them. D. Cool roofs are more expensive to build than green roofs. 3.Where is this text most likely taken from? A. A novel about US summer life. B. A science textbook on greenhouse gases. C. A family life magazine with useful life tips. D. A weather report predicting US extreme heat. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了美国酷暑下，空调带来的电力和环境影响，并推荐了七种替代空调的创新方法，如利用风扇、植树、蒸发式冷却器、热泵等，强调节能和环保。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章New tech部分中 “Evaporative coolers: Good for dry areas, and use only 1/4 the energy of AC. (蒸发式冷却器：适用于干燥地区，耗电量仅为空调的1/4。)”以及Heat pumps 部分中“Heat pumps: Cool in summer and warm in winter. They cut home energy use by half,(热泵：夏天制冷，冬天制热。它们将家庭能源消耗减半,)”可知，通过对比两者的功能描述，可以看出蒸发式冷却器仅用于制冷，而热泵既可以制冷也可以制热。因此，选项B“Evaporative coolers only cool, while heat pumps can both cool and warm. (蒸发式冷却器只制冷，而热泵既能制冷又能制热。)”符合题意。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章中Green roofs部分“Have plants on top, which cool via water evaporation — but need stronger roofs to hold them. (屋顶上有植物，通过水蒸发来降温，但需要更坚固的屋顶来支撑它们。)”以及Cool roofs部分“Just painted white. They reflect 90% of heat, like how Greece paints buildings white in summer. (只需刷成白色。它们能反射 90%的热量，就像希腊人在夏天给建筑物刷成白色那样。)”可知，绿色屋顶需要更坚固的屋顶来支撑植物，而凉爽屋顶则是通过反射热量来降温。因此，选项C“Green roofs demand more solid roofs to sustain the plants on them. (绿色屋顶需要更坚固的屋顶来支撑上面的植物。)”符合题意。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了七种替代空调的简单方法，包括快速修复措施、户外烹饪、新技术应用、热泵、绿色屋顶、凉爽屋顶以及建筑设计等方面的建议。这些内容更偏向于提供实用的生活小贴士，而非科学理论或天气预报。因此，选项C“A family life magazine with useful life tips. (一本提供实用生活小贴士的家庭生活杂志。)”是最可能的出处。故选C项。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·安徽·鼎尖名校期中）Homeschool Days at Pacific Science Center Once a month, homeschool families are invited to enjoy a day of discovery at Pacific Science Center with special discounted pricing.

Fairmont Empress Fairmont Empress opened its doors in 1908 and has been an elegant staple (贸易中心) in the downtown core since day one. It remains one of the top hotels in Victoria. That means it isn’t exactly budget-friendly, so if you’d prefer to skip the tea and just stop into the hotel for a drink another time of day, that’s welcome too! Castles Craigdarroch Castle was built in 1890 by coal baron (大亨) Robert Dunsmuir. The stunning Victorian building features stained-glass windows, beautiful woodwork, and great views of the area. Another castle on Vancouver Island is Hatley Castle, which was built in 1908 and the grounds feature over 15 kilometers of walking trails, a First Nations historical site, and a bird preserve. Sheringham Point Lighthouse Located on the south-western coast of Vancouver Island, halfway between Victoria and Port Renfrew, Sheringham Point Lighthouse is a great contrast to the crashing waves below and is one of the best things to see in the area. The lighthouse was built in 1912 and is a historical site in the area. There are even virtual historical tours you can take. Victoria Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, was founded in 1843 and is a hub of Canadian history. While in the heart of the city, explore Bastion Square (shops, restaurants, and bars galore), take a walk through Fan Tan Alley, which lays claim to being Canada’s narrowest street, or take a tour! 1.What might prevent visitors having tea at Fairmont Empress?

Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding (编码) tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease Researchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the Al system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent. Tool to interpret pig emotions Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions. The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm (算法) to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings Researchers-led by Alphabet’s AI company DeepMind-said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent. 1.Which can be used for cross-cultural communication? A. Tool to interpret pig emotions. B.

Research shows that daily foods are loaded with natural compounds (化合物) that help ease pain, protect against disease, and keep your body running smoothly. Here are some of the inflammation-fighting foods worth adding to your plate. Dark chocolate Yes, you read that correctly. Dark chocolate contains chemicals and anti-oxidants (抗氧化物) that help fight inflammation. According to a large Italian study, people who ate about one square of dark chocolate every three days had significantly lower measures of a protein associated with inflammation than those who ate no chocolate at all. Green and black tea Tea is rich in anti-oxidants called flavonoids, which may help protect cells from damage that can worsen conditions like arthritis (关节炎). It also contains compounds that fight inflammation, making green tea a great choice to your morning coffee. Both green and black teas come from the same plant — the differences are in where they’re grown and how they’ re processed. Soy protein Research has shown that people with arthritis, especially men, who consumed 40 grams of soy protein per day for three months experienced less pain and improved mobility compared with those who didn’t. While it’s difficult to get that much soy protein from food alone, adding a serving of soybeans, tofu, or soy milk is still worthwhile. Avocados Although the window for perfect ripeness is small, avocados are highly recommended — they’re packed with nutrients. Compounds such as carotenoids and tocopherols help fight inflammation and may even lower cancer risk. Interestingly, research suggests that the healthiest part of an avocado is often the part that gets deserted. 1.What will be the result of eating dark chocolate? A. It makes you get fatter and fatter. B. The more you eat it, the better. C. It can help build bones and muscles. D. A certain regular amount is beneficial. 2.If you feel less mobile, which food is advisable? A. Dark chocolate. B. Green and black tea. C. Soy protein. D. Avocados. 3.What do green tea and avocados have in common? A. Both are difficult to grow and ripen in gardens. B. Both contain chemicals that can fight inflammation. C. Without them, people would get sick more easily. D. Both of their best part is unwisely thrown away. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了几种有助于减轻炎症和疼痛的抗炎食物及其益处。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Dark chocolate部分中“According to a large Italian study, people who ate about one square of dark chocolate every three days had significantly lower measures of a protein associated with inflammation than those who ate no chocolate at all. (根据意大利的一项大型研究，每三天吃一块黑巧克力的人体内与炎症相关的蛋白质含量明显低于那些根本不吃巧克力的人。)”可知，定期吃一定量的黑巧克力是有益的。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Soy protein部分中“Research has shown that people with arthritis, especially men, who consumed 40 grams of soy protein per day for three months experienced less pain and improved mobility compared with those who didn’t. (研究表明，与不吃大豆蛋白的人相比，患有关节炎的人，尤其是男性，每天摄入40克大豆蛋白，持续三个月，疼痛减轻，活动能力提高。)”可知，如果你感觉行动不便，建议吃大豆蛋白。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Green and black tea部分中“It also contains compounds that fight inflammation, making green tea a great choice to your morning coffee. (它还含有抗炎化合物，使绿茶成为你早晨咖啡的绝佳选择。)”以及Avocados部分中“Compounds such as carotenoids and tocopherols help fight inflammation and may even lower cancer risk. (类胡萝卜素和生育酚等化合物有助于对抗炎症，甚至可能降低患癌症的风险。)”可知，绿茶和鳄梨的共同之处是都含有可以对抗炎症的化学物质。故选B。 主题语境05 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高二上·湖北省级示范高中教育教学改革联盟·期中）China’s Pristine Paradises: National Parks and Nature Reserves China boasts amazing biodiversity and breathtaking landscapes, with a network of protected areas safeguarding its natural heritage. Among these, four sites stand out for ecological significance and scenery, serving as wildlife reserves and symbols of China’s conservation commitment. ● Jiuzhaigou National Park, in Sichuan’s Minshan Mountains, is famous for crystal-clear alpine lakes and vibrant autumn foliage. Its sky-blued lakes, fed by glaciers and springs, reflect snow-capped peaks. A 1992 UNESCO World Heritage Site, it habitats giant pandas, supporting over 2,000 plant and 400 animal species. In 2017, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake damaged its landscapes, but careful restoration revived most of its original charm. ● Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve, on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is called the “Water Tower of Asia”. As the source of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang (Mekong) rivers, it supplies water to nearly half of China’s population and millions in Southeast Asia. Spanning 318,000 square kilometers, it homes Tibetan antelopes. Climate change causes glacial retreat, leading to adaptive measures like grassland enclosures. ● Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, on Hainan Island, is China’s only tropical rainforest protected area. Covering 4,400 square kilometers, it has over 5,000 plant species (15% native) and 340 bird species, including the critically endangered Hainan gibbon (长臂猿) (around 37 left). The rainforest resists typhoons, regulating the island’s climate. Recent years have seen community-involved conservation, with locals shifting from logging to eco-tourism for income and less ecosystem impact. ● Wuyi Mountain National Park, across Fujian and Jiangxi, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for both natural and cultural value. Its steep (崎岖的) Danxia landforms (red sandstone peaks) pair with thick forests housing Chinese giant salamanders (火蜥蜴). It also has ancient tea plantations and Han Dynasty archaeological sites. A visitor quota system limits daily entries to balance conservation and tourism. These four areas show China’s holistic (整体的) conservation approach — combining strict protection, sustainable development and public education. As China expands its national park system, they remain beacons of human-nature harmony. 1.Which of the following is a challenge that Jiuzhaigou National Park has overcome? A. A decline in the number of giant pandas. B. Overcrowding from excessive tourism. C. Severe damage caused by an earthquake. D. Pollution of its crystal-clear alpine lakes. 2.What makes Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve crucial to millions of people? A. Its unique grasslands and wetlands. B. Its function as the source of three major rivers. C. Its role as a habitat for the Tibetan antelope. D. Its strict measures against climate change. 3.What do the last two national parks have in common? A. Both are home to the world’s rarest primates (灵长目动物). B. Both have carried out visitor quota systems. C. Both are located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. D. Both combine natural value with cultural significance. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了中国四大国家公园和自然保护区：九寨沟、三江源、海南热带雨林、武夷山。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Jiuzhaigou National Park部分的“In 2017, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake damaged its landscapes, but careful restoration revived most of its original charm. (2017年，一场7.0级地震破坏了它的景观，但通过精心修复，大部分原始风貌得以恢复。)”可知，九寨沟国家公园克服的挑战是地震造成的严重破坏。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve部分的“As the source of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang (Mekong) rivers, it supplies water to nearly half of China’s population and millions in Southeast Asia. (作为长江、黄河和澜沧江（湄公河）的源头，它为近半数中国人口及东南亚数百万人提供水源。)”可知，三江源国家级自然保护区的关键意义在于它是三大河流的源头。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park部分的“The rainforest resists typhoons, regulating the island’s climate. Recent years have seen community-involved conservation, with locals shifting from logging to eco-tourism for income and less ecosystem impact. (热带雨林抵御台风，调节着岛上的气候。近年来出现了社区参与的保护，当地人从伐木转向生态旅游，以获得收入，减少对生态系统的影响。)”可知，海南热带雨林国家公园的雨林调节气候，社区参与保护该公园，体现自然与人文结合；再根据Wuyi Mountain National Park部分的“a UNESCO World Heritage Site for both natural and cultural value (因其自然和文化价值被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产)”和“It also has ancient tea plantations and Han Dynasty archaeological sites. (这里还有古老的茶园和汉代的考古遗址。)”可知，武夷山国家公园以自然与文化双重价值入选世界遗址，拥有古茶园和汉代遗址，两者的共同点是兼具自然价值与文化意义。故选D项。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·湖北部分省级示范高中·期中）Study Abroad Adventure for High School Students — Apply Now!

This intelligent bottle technology was developed, combining temperature-sensing tech with gentle reminders to create what’s now known as HydraSmart®.(但现在，斯坦福大学健康技术中心的工程师们的研究引入了一项改变游戏规则的创新。开发了这种智能瓶技术，将温度传感技术与温和的提醒相结合，创造了现在被称为HydraSmart®的产品。)”可知，产品核心亮点是智能科技和补水提醒。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及倒数第二段“Buy one, get a FREE Hydration Tracker Band We’ll give you a high-quality HydraSmart® Activity Band (a $39.99 value) absolutely free—perfect for pairing with your bottle to track steps and hydration together.(我们会给你一个高品质的HydraSmart®活动手环（价值39.99美元），绝对免费——完美的搭配你的瓶子来记录步数和水分。)”和最后一段“Don’t let a basic bottle hold back your health. Trust your daily hydration to the same science that keeps athletes and health experts at their best.(别让普通水瓶拖累你的健康，把你的日常补水交托给同样让运动员和健康专家保持巅峰状态的科学。)”可知，文章先点出“补水不足”的痛点，再推出 HydraSmart® 智能水瓶，介绍核心功能、认证资质、独家优惠（买一赠一），最终呼吁消费者购买，符合广告“痛点引流 + 产品推介 + 促销转化”的逻辑。故选B项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题01 阅读理解（应用文） 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二·山东·联考）Best Places to Visit in Canada Thinking about exploring Canada?

Tennis 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·湖北省级示范高中·期中）Beat the Heat with Innovative AC Alternatives This summer, most of the US had really hot weather for a long time. AC is a must when it’s this hot, but it makes power grid work too hard. Also, AC uses refrigerants. Those are greenhouse gases that trap more heat than carbon dioxide. Here are 7 simple alternatives to AC: 1. Quick fixes: Close south-facing windows during the day to keep heat out, then open them at night. Fans cool you by drying sweat — ceiling fans work best. For the long run, plant trees. 2. Cook outside: Use a portable barbecue. Cooking inside is a big heat source for your home. 3. New tech: Evaporative coolers: Good for dry areas, and use only 1/4 the energy of AC. 4. Heat pumps: Cool in summer and warm in winter. They cut home energy use by half, and over 30 countries have subsidies for them. Some use water or underground pipes (geothermal) to work better. 5. Green roofs: Have plants on top, which cool via water evaporation — but need stronger roofs to hold them. 6. Cool roofs: Just painted white. They reflect 90% of heat, like how Greece paints buildings white in summer. 7. Building design: Look at old-style homes in hot places; Windcatchers (they catch cool air); Materials like bricks or stone (hold heat well); Shady central yards. Experts stress AC should be a last resort, not a first choice. 1.What is the main difference between evaporative coolers and heat pumps according to the text? A. Evaporative coolers work in all climates, while heat pumps only suit dry areas. B. Evaporative coolers only cool, while heat pumps can both cool and warm. C. Evaporative coolers need subsidies, while heat pumps are fully free. D. Evaporative coolers use geothermal energy while heat pumps rely on sweat evaporation. 2.Which of the following statements about roof cooling methods is true? A. Green roofs can be used on any roof without extra preparation. B. Cool roofs cool buildings by absorbing most thermal energy. C. Green roofs demand more solid roofs to sustain the plants on them. D. Cool roofs are more expensive to build than green roofs. 3.Where is this text most likely taken from? A. A novel about US summer life. B. A science textbook on greenhouse gases. C. A family life magazine with useful life tips. D. A weather report predicting US extreme heat.

Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form. Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding (编码) tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease Researchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the Al system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent. Tool to interpret pig emotions Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions. The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm (算法) to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings Researchers-led by Alphabet’s AI company DeepMind-said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent. 1.Which can be used for cross-cultural communication? A. Tool to interpret pig emotions. B.

Research shows that daily foods are loaded with natural compounds (化合物) that help ease pain, protect against disease, and keep your body running smoothly. Here are some of the inflammation-fighting foods worth adding to your plate. Dark chocolate Yes, you read that correctly. Dark chocolate contains chemicals and anti-oxidants (抗氧化物) that help fight inflammation. According to a large Italian study, people who ate about one square of dark chocolate every three days had significantly lower measures of a protein associated with inflammation than those who ate no chocolate at all. Green and black tea Tea is rich in anti-oxidants called flavonoids, which may help protect cells from damage that can worsen conditions like arthritis (关节炎). It also contains compounds that fight inflammation, making green tea a great choice to your morning coffee. Both green and black teas come from the same plant — the differences are in where they’re grown and how they’ re processed. Soy protein Research has shown that people with arthritis, especially men, who consumed 40 grams of soy protein per day for three months experienced less pain and improved mobility compared with those who didn’t. While it’s difficult to get that much soy protein from food alone, adding a serving of soybeans, tofu, or soy milk is still worthwhile. Avocados Although the window for perfect ripeness is small, avocados are highly recommended — they’re packed with nutrients. Compounds such as carotenoids and tocopherols help fight inflammation and may even lower cancer risk. Interestingly, research suggests that the healthiest part of an avocado is often the part that gets deserted. 1.What will be the result of eating dark chocolate? A. It makes you get fatter and fatter. B. The more you eat it, the better. C. It can help build bones and muscles. D. A certain regular amount is beneficial. 2.If you feel less mobile, which food is advisable? A. Dark chocolate. B. Green and black tea. C. Soy protein. D. Avocados. 3.What do green tea and avocados have in common? A. Both are difficult to grow and ripen in gardens. B. Both contain chemicals that can fight inflammation. C. Without them, people would get sick more easily. D. Both of their best part is unwisely thrown away. 主题语境05 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高二上·湖北省级示范高中教育教学改革联盟·期中）China’s Pristine Paradises: National Parks and Nature Reserves China boasts amazing biodiversity and breathtaking landscapes, with a network of protected areas safeguarding its natural heritage. Among these, four sites stand out for ecological significance and scenery, serving as wildlife reserves and symbols of China’s conservation commitment. ● Jiuzhaigou National Park, in Sichuan’s Minshan Mountains, is famous for crystal-clear alpine lakes and vibrant autumn foliage. Its sky-blued lakes, fed by glaciers and springs, reflect snow-capped peaks. A 1992 UNESCO World Heritage Site, it habitats giant pandas, supporting over 2,000 plant and 400 animal species. In 2017, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake damaged its landscapes, but careful restoration revived most of its original charm. ● Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve, on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is called the “Water Tower of Asia”. As the source of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang (Mekong) rivers, it supplies water to nearly half of China’s population and millions in Southeast Asia. Spanning 318,000 square kilometers, it homes Tibetan antelopes. Climate change causes glacial retreat, leading to adaptive measures like grassland enclosures. ● Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, on Hainan Island, is China’s only tropical rainforest protected area. Covering 4,400 square kilometers, it has over 5,000 plant species (15% native) and 340 bird species, including the critically endangered Hainan gibbon (长臂猿) (around 37 left). The rainforest resists typhoons, regulating the island’s climate. Recent years have seen community-involved conservation, with locals shifting from logging to eco-tourism for income and less ecosystem impact. ● Wuyi Mountain National Park, across Fujian and Jiangxi, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for both natural and cultural value. Its steep (崎岖的) Danxia landforms (red sandstone peaks) pair with thick forests housing Chinese giant salamanders (火蜥蜴). It also has ancient tea plantations and Han Dynasty archaeological sites. A visitor quota system limits daily entries to balance conservation and tourism. These four areas show China’s holistic (整体的) conservation approach — combining strict protection, sustainable development and public education. As China expands its national park system, they remain beacons of human-nature harmony. 1.Which of the following is a challenge that Jiuzhaigou National Park has overcome? A. A decline in the number of giant pandas. B. Overcrowding from excessive tourism. C. Severe damage caused by an earthquake. D. Pollution of its crystal-clear alpine lakes. 2.What makes Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve crucial to millions of people? A. Its unique grasslands and wetlands. B. Its function as the source of three major rivers. C. Its role as a habitat for the Tibetan antelope. D. Its strict measures against climate change. 3.What do the last two national parks have in common? A. Both are home to the world’s rarest primates (灵长目动物). B. Both have carried out visitor quota systems. C. Both are located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. D. Both combine natural value with cultural significance. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·湖北部分省级示范高中·期中）Study Abroad Adventure for High School Students — Apply Now!
