W: My father grew up on a farm. He went to college, but he always said he had no choice but to move to the city if he wanted to use his degree. Now, thanks to this program, the situation is changing.  More young people are returning to their hometowns to start businesses in places with less competition. M: And that’s what you plan to focus on? W: Yes. I believe the government’s plan to improve pay and conditions will turn the countryside into a place of opportunity and growth. M: Well, it’s an interesting topic. I look forward to reading it! （本题4.5分）听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 18．(1.5分)Why did Ningbo start the project? A．To promote ecotourism. B．To preserve old traditions.

The program encourages local people to improve their home courtyards by planting flowers, repairing old houses and creating pleasant outdoor spaces. Its goal is to make the area cleaner, greener and more attractive. At first, some residents were unsure about the idea because they were used to their old way of life. But as the environment gradually improved the changes became clear. Visitors began coming to enjoy the peaceful countryside and traditional way of life. Soon, some local families opened small home stays or cafes for tourists. In this way, the program not only made the area more beautiful, but also created new chances for families to earn extra income. Today, more residents are taking part. Many of them now realize that improving the environment while developing tourism, not only protects nature, but also supports the local economy and brings people in the community closer together. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Plastic Upcycling Workshop Experience Days In Brighton Description We all know that plastic rubbish is bad for our lives.

Their route covers the park’s core protection zone, with elevations ranging from 1,312 to 7,087 feet. Liu and his partner have to scale cliffs, cross streams and pass through untouched forests, observing and recording vegetation, trees and all creatures. In 2023, they conducted over 16,000 patrols, covering a distance of 25,290 miles. As full-time rangers, their daily duties include preventing the illegal expansion of tea plantations, controlling the spread of pine wilt disease, and stopping forest fires, illegal logging and poaching. If they discover any illegal activities, they have to report them and take immediate enforcement measures. Since 1999, the Wuyi Mountains have been included on both the World Cultural Heritage List and the World Natural Heritage List by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Intelligent technology has been adopted to protect Wuyishan’s biodiversity and ecology. Nearly 800 infrared cameras are installed in the park to monitor surface water, wildlife, air quality, vegetation and tourist numbers. A platform has also been developed to allow rangers to record patrols through photos and videos, and transmit the data to a smart management center. The system helps ensure that management is always up to date with the latest patrol information. Comprehensive protection methods not only safeguard the rich biodiversity of Wuyishan National Park, but also set a benchmark for the effective management of national parks, ensuring that nature thrives in harmony with humans. Indicators for surface water, air quality, and forest soil all meet Class I level, the highest national standard, with a forest coverage rate of 94.5 percent. Before the park was established, Jiuqu Stream would turn muddy whenever it rained, Liu said. However, nowadays, unless there is a pouring downpour, the stream remains clear, and fish can be seen swimming in its water. “As the environment has improved, the wildlife has returned as well,” he said. “We can now easily spot flocks of Silver Pheasants during the day, but a few years ago we would be lucky to see two or three.” 24．(2.5分)What is Liu and his colleague’s patrolling work like? A．Relaxing. B．Annoying. C．Frustrating. D．Demanding. 25．(2.5分)What is the fifth paragraph mainly about? A．Advanced systems focus on wildlife tracking. B．Smart technology enhances park protection. C．Rangers require advanced training for devices. D．Patrol records are kept only for research purposes. 26．(2.5分)What does the underlined phrase “set a benchmark for” mean in Paragraph 6? A．Improve the quality of. B．Set a standard for. C．Make a difference to. D．Have an impact on. 27．(2.5分)Why does the author quote Liu’s words in the last paragraph? A．To show his love for nature. B．To introduce some new species. C．To prove the park’s great changes. D．To emphasize the problem of pollution. 【答案】24．D 25．B 26．B 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了福建武夷山国家公园护林员刘海安及其同事的巡护工作，以及公园在保护生物多样性和生态方面所采取的措施和取得的成效。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第二段“Their route covers the park’s core protection zone, with elevations ranging from 1,312 to7,087 feet. Liu and his partner have to scale cliffs, cross streams and pass through untouched forests, observing and recording vegetation, trees and all creatures. In 2023, they conducted over 16,000 patrols, covering a distance of 25,290 miles.(他们的路线覆盖了公园的核心保护区，海拔从1312英尺到7087英尺不等。刘海安和他的同伴必须攀爬悬崖，渡过溪流，穿过原始森林，观察和记录植被、树木和所有生物。2023年，他们进行了超过1.6万次巡逻，行程2.529万英里)”可知，刘和他的同事的巡逻工作需要攀爬悬崖，渡过溪流，穿过原始森林等，要求很高。故选D项。 25．主旨大意题。根据第五段“Intelligent technology has been adopted to protect Wuyishan’s biodiversity and ecology. Nearly 800 infrared cameras are installed in the park to monitor surface water, wildlife, air quality, vegetation and tourist numbers. A platform has also been developed to allow rangers to record patrols through photos and videos, and transmit the data to a smart management center. The system helps ensure that management is always up to date with the latest patrol information.(公园采用了智能技术来保护武夷山的生物多样性和生态。公园内安装了近800个红外摄像头，用于监测地表水、野生动物、空气质量、植被和游客数量。还开发了一个平台，允许护林员通过照片和视频记录巡逻情况，并将数据传输到智能管理中心。该系统有助于确保管理层始终掌握最新的巡逻信息)”可知，第五段主要介绍智能技术增强了公园的保护能力。故选B项。 26．词句猜测题。根据划线短语上文“Comprehensive protection methods not only safeguard the rich biodiversity of Wuyishan National Park(综合保护方法不仅保护了武夷山国家公园丰富的生物多样性)”以及后文“Indicators for surface water, air quality, and forest soil all meet Class I level, the highest national standard, with a forest coverage rate of 94.5 percent.(地表水、空气质量、森林土壤等指标均达到国家一级标准，森林覆盖率达到94.5%。)”可知，综合保护方法使武夷山国家公园的地表水、空气质量、森林土壤等指标均达到国家一级标准，森林覆盖率达到94.5%；由此可推知，“set a benchmark for the effective management of national parks”指综合保护方法取得非常好的成效，为有效管理国家公园设定了标准，故划线短语set a benchmark for的意思是“为……树立标准”。故选B项。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Before the park was established, Jiuqu Stream would turn muddy whenever it rained, Liu said. However, nowadays, unless there is a pouring downpour, the stream remains clear, and fish can be seen swimming in its water. “As the environment has improved, the wildlife has returned as well,” he said. “We can now easily spot flocks of Silver Pheasants during the day, but a few years ago we would be lucky to see two or three.”(刘海安说，在公园建立之前，一下雨九曲溪就会变得泥泞不堪。然而，如今，除非下倾盆大雨，溪水依然清澈，可以看到鱼儿在水中游动。“随着环境的改善，野生动物也回来了，”他说。“我们现在可以在白天很容易地看到成群的白鹇，但几年前我们能看到两三只就很幸运了。”)”可推知，作者在最后一段引用刘的话是为了证明公园的巨大变化。故选C项。 （本题10分）The old saying may be true: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. At least that’s the case for human civilizations across 30,000 years of history, according to a new analysis published in Nature. Study leader Philip Riris and his team found that, the more often a population experiences disturbances or downturns, the more likely it is to be able to recover faster the next time around. “It’s an important paper,” said Dagomar Degroot, an associate professor who was not involved in the research. “There is a lot of really influential work on the collapse of societies,” said Degroot, “but a focus on resilience (恢复力) and only resilience is exiguous.” Historians and archaeologists (考古学家) have published many case studies on individual societal crises, Riris agreed. But it’s hard to compare these experiences across space and time. He and his team pulled together data from 16 separate archaeological sites around the globe with data stretching back as far as 30,000 years ago. The team found most of the downturns in the study lasted many decades and had a variety of causes, ranging from environmental change to societal upheaval (动乱).“The winners did better during a crisis, either because they were just lucky or they had some sort of technology or practice or behavior,” Riris said. “After the disturbance, they were more likely to pass down that learning, that aspect of culture that would enable their future generations to do better down the line.” “The archaeological findings go well with historical case studies. Whether modern humans can pull directly from these lessons remains to be doubted,” Degroot said. “All of the societies in the study were preindustrial and might have little in common with today’s global order.” However, Riris said, the ability to compare societies and look for patterns is important. “It provides a framework that will allow resilience to be tackled systematically,” he said. 28．(2.5分)What did Riris’s new study reveal? A．Humans have a long history of disturbances. B．Hard times boost human societies’ resilience. C．Human resilience frees them from downturns. D．Societal collapses are unavoidable over long periods. 29．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “exiguous” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Scientific. B．Rare. C．Understandable. D．Dull. 30．(2.5分)What do we know about societies that survived a disturbance? A．They tended to hand their experience down. B．They were more likely to have great learning ability. C．They would go through fewer societal upheavals. D．They would have favorable environmental conditions. 31．(2.5分)What is Degroot’s attitude towards the findings? A．Unclear. B．Critical. C．Doubtful. D．Objective. 【答案】28．B 29．B 30．A 31．D 【导语】本文主要介绍的是一项关于人类社会恢复力与历史动荡关系的研究。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段“Study leader Philip Riris and his team found that, the more often a population experiences disturbances or downturns, the more likely it is to be able to recover faster the next time around. (研究负责人菲利普·里里斯和他的团队发现，一个群体经历动荡或衰退的次数越多，下一次就越有可能更快地恢复。)”可知，艰难时期能够增强人类社会的恢复力。 29．词句猜测题。根据第二段“‘There is a lot of really influential work on the collapse of societies,’ said Degroot, ‘but a focus on resilience (恢复力) and only resilience is exiguous.’ (‘关于社会崩溃有很多真正有影响力的研究，’德格鲁特说，‘但专注于恢复力且仅仅专注于恢复力的研究是exiguous。’)”可知，关于社会崩溃的研究很多，但关于恢复力的研究却很少，exiguous与a lot of形成对比，因此exiguous意为“稀少的、罕见的”。 30．细节理解题。根据第四段“After the disturbance, they were more likely to pass down that learning, that aspect of culture that would enable their future generations to do better down the line. (在动荡之后，他们更有可能把那种经验传下去，传承那种文化方面的东西，使他们的后代在未来做得更好。)”可知，经历过动荡并幸存下来的社会倾向于将经验传承下去。 31．推理判断题。根据第二段“‘It’s an important paper,’ said Dagomar Degroot, an associate professor who was not involved in the research.（‘这是一篇重要的论文，’未参与研究的副教授达戈马尔·德格鲁特说。）”和最后一段“‘The archaeological findings go well with historical case studies. Whether modern humans can pull directly from these lessons remains to be doubted,’ Degroot said. ‘All of the societies in the study were preindustrial and might have little in common with today’s global order.’  (‘考古发现与历史案例研究非常吻合。现代人类能否直接从中汲取教训仍有待怀疑，’德格鲁特说。‘研究中所有社会都是前工业时代的，可能与当今的全球秩序几乎没有共同之处。’)”可知，德格鲁特既肯定了研究的价值，又对其在现代社会的适用性提出了谨慎的质疑，态度是客观的。 （本题10分）Virtual reality is quickly becoming the new technological frontier. Tech companies everywhere seem to be racing to get their foot in the VR door. However, virtual reality has a set of challenges and hurdles that it must overcome in order to work well. It should be noted that VR is heavily dependent on being very fast, very accurate and very good-looking. If it isn’t, the viewer will feel motion sick or disconnected from the world that VR is trying to create. Now that we can actually build VR headsets that begin to meet these requirements, we are seeing a rising interest in VR. As it rises, so does the interest in creating new media to be experienced in using virtual reality. Journalism is a medium built on relevance. Journalists should always be finding new ways to tell stories and deliver content. It is a goldmine for storytelling. What better ways to tell a story to someone than to put them right in the center of it? Virtual reality is a powerful tool for journalists. The consumer isn’t just reading or watching something play out; they’re experiencing it. The immersive nature of VR allows for people to connect with the subject matter on a much deeper level than just reading about it. The experience is emotional, speaking more to our instinct than our intellect. The possibilities for storytelling here are legion, and any storyteller wanting to do something more interesting than their peers should surely be considering the sheer power of VR. The question of virtual reality, though, is not how powerful it is. That is immediately apparent. The question of VR is one of viability and availability. Telling stories must be easy to do, and access to those stories must be readily available. This is the biggest challenge that VR faces. If the tools to tell a story with VR aren’t easy to pick up and learn, VR will fail. If VR technology isn’t both top-of-the-line and affordable, VR will fail. Accessibility was one concern for Thomas Hallaq, assistant professor of journalism and mass communications, who said that current VR technology, is pretty exclusive right now. Despite that, he said he doesn’t think the exclusivity of this technology will be a problem in the long run. “I think it’s very promising,” Hallaq said. “We’re seeing more technology become accessible, and more people having access to that technology. Just look at smartphones.” Like radio, TV and the Internet before it, virtual reality will change the way we tell stories. 32．(2.5分)Why is VR considered a powerful tool for journalism? A．Because it is an exclusively new tool. B．Because it is very powerful and popular. C．Because people can experience the story in person. D．Because it is very fast, accurate and good-looking. 33．(2.5分)According to the passage, what is the biggest challenge VR is facing? A．How powerful and interesting it can be. B．Whether people will have easy access to it. C．Whether qualified VR headsets can be built. D．What new ways people will find to deliver content. 34．(2.5分)What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of VR technology? A．Optimistic. B．Neutral. C．Pessimistic. D．Concerned. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The Wide Popularity of Virtual Reality B．The Future Development of Virtual Reality C．Challenges and Hurdles of Virtual Reality D．Virtual Reality is the Future of Storytelling 【答案】32．C 33．B 34．A 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了虚拟现实技术在新闻领域的应用，并指出该技术存在一定的问题，但非常有前景。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The consumer isn’t just reading or watching something play out; they’re experiencing it.(消费者不仅仅是在阅读或观看节目；他们正在体验它)”可知，人们可以亲身体验新闻报道的故事，所以VR技术被认为是新闻的强大工具。故选C。 33．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The question of VR is one of viability and availability. Telling stories must be easy to do, and access to those stories must be readily available. This is the biggest challenge that VR faces.(虚拟现实的问题是可行性和可用性的问题。讲故事必须容易做到，而且必须能够随时接触到这些故事。这是虚拟现实面临的最大挑战)”可知，虚拟现实面临的最大挑战就是人们能否非常容易地接触它。故选B。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Like radio, TV and the Internet before it, virtual reality will change the way we tell stories.(就像虚拟现实之前的广播、电视和互联网一样，虚拟现实将改变我们讲故事的方式)”可推知，作者对VR技术的未来持积极态度。故选A。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段引出虚拟现实这一话题，其中“However, virtual reality has a set of challenges and hurdles that it must overcome in order to work well.(然而，虚拟现实有一系列挑战和障碍，必须克服这些挑战和障碍才能正常工作)”指出虚拟现实面临一系列挑战和障碍；第二、三段讲述了虚拟现实在新闻领域的应用，是记者强大的工具；根据第四段中的“The question of VR is one of viability and availability.(虚拟现实的问题是可行性和可用性的问题)”可知，本段主要讲述了虚拟现实面临的问题；第五段“Accessibility was one concern for Thomas Hallaq, assistant professor of journalism and mass communications, who said that current VR technology, is pretty exclusive right now. Despite that, he said he doesn’t think the exclusivity of this technology will be a problem in the long run.(无障碍是新闻学和大众传播学助理教授Thomas Hallaq关注的一个问题，他表示，目前的虚拟现实技术相当排外。尽管如此，他表示，从长远来看，他认为这项技术的排他性不会成为问题)”讲述了新闻媒体的虚拟现实技术有排他性，但长远来看这个问题会得到解决；最后一段中的“I think it’s very promising(我认为这很有希望)”讲述了虚拟现实技术很有前景。由此可推测出，本文主要讲述了虚拟现实技术在新闻领域的应用，并指出该技术存在一定的问题，但非常有前景。再结合第二段中的“It is a goldmine for storytelling. What better ways to tell a story to someone than to put them right in the center of it?(这是讲故事的金矿。还有什么比把一个人放在故事的中心来给别人讲故事的更好方法呢？)”可知，D项“虚拟现实是讲故事的未来”最适合作文章标题。故选D。 （本题12.5分）Humankind has tried to improve its standard of living since the very beginning of civilization. Back then, and today, providing food was the basic task for a person. 36(2.5分) People feel the need for not only some primary things, such as bread and shelters, but also for various facilities and luxuries. Providing humanity with these things is connected to the use of natural resources, which requires energy. 37(2.5分) , so economic growth is almost inevitably (不可避免地) associated with environmental damage. 38(2.5分) The first of these is the fact that in order to produce more goods and products, at a faster rate, the construction of large industrial plants is required. These plants produce a lot of waste, which may cause negative long-term health effects to nearby populations of animals, or people. The traditional energy sources, which are commonly used nowadays, are considered to be the greatest polluters to the environment. There also exist so-called eco-friendly sources of energy. 39(2.5分) Of course, during this time people have to make some sacrifices to support these undertakings. In order to produce practical energy, a transformation of the natural site is often inevitable. This is expensive and has harmful effects on the environment. Application of wind energy would block airflow’s natural speed. Consequently, the pressure balance that is brought about by this current will be affected, and it is important to remember that the environment and weather conditions are directly affected by atmospheric pressure. 40(2.5分) This is the embarrassment mankind has to deal with. A good balance between economic development and sustainability is forever what humankind has to keep in mind. A．There are certain aspects of economic growth which affect the environment. B．Clean energy has always been on the priority list for a better environment. C．For these reasons, bringing about economic growth without any resulting environmental damage is impossible. D．However, nowadays the range of required goods has expanded significantly. E．So humankind began to make exploration to satisfy themselves economically and mentally. F．They are sometimes preferred but replacing the traditional sources with them also requires time. G．In turn, the common sources of energy we use today cause pollution. 【答案】36．D 37．G 38．A 39．F 40．C 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要说明了经济发展与环境危害之间无法避免的关系。 【详解】36．根据上句“Back then, and today, providing food was the basic task for a person.(无论是过去还是现在，提供食物都是一个人的基本任务。)”和下句“People feel the need for not only some primary things, such as bread and shelters, but also for various facilities and luxuries.(人们不仅需要一些基本的东西，如面包和住所，而且需要各种设施和奢侈品。)”可知，空处应该与上句形成转折关系，表明虽然食物是人们的基本需求，但是人们的需求已经扩大；选项D. However, nowadays the range of required goods has expanded significantly.(然而，如今所需商品的范围已经大大扩大了。)与上句句意转折，指出了人们的需求范围已扩大，下句具体说明了人们除食物外所需的东西，承上启下，符合语境。故选D。 37．根据上句“Providing humanity with these things is connected to the use of natural resources, which requires energy.(为人类提供这些东西与自然资源的使用有关，这需要能源。)”可知，经济增长需要能源，而下句“so economic growth is almost inevitably (不可避免地) associated with environmental damage.(因此，经济增长几乎不可避免地与环境破坏联系在一起。)”表示经济增长与环境破坏相关联，说明空处应表示能源使用会破坏环境；选项G. In turn, the common sources of energy we use today cause pollution(反过来，我们今天使用的普通能源也会造成污染)指出了使用能源会造成环境污染，与下句形成因果关系，语意衔接合理。故选G。 38．根据上句“so economic growth is almost inevitably (不可避免地) associated with environmental damage.(因此，经济增长几乎不可避免地与环境破坏联系在一起。)”和下句“The first of these is the fact that in order to produce more goods and products, at a faster rate, the construction of large industrial plants is required.(首先，为了以更快的速度生产更多的商品和产品，需要建设大型工业工厂。)”可知，空处应指破坏环境的经济增长的行为；选项A. There are certain aspects of economic growth which affect the environment.( 经济增长的某些方面会影响环境。)符合这层含义，下句中的“these”指代其中的“aspects”，语意连贯，符合语境。故选A。 39．根据上句“There also exist so-called eco-friendly sources of energy.(也有所谓的环保能源。)”和下句“Of course, during this time people have to make some sacrifices to support these undertakings.(当然，在这段时间里，人们必须做出一些牺牲来支持这些事业。)”可知，空处应该承接上句中的“eco-friendly sources of energy”，并衔接下句中的“this time”，选项F. They are sometimes preferred but replacing the traditional sources with them also requires time.(它们有时是首选，但用它们取代传统来源也需要时间。)中的“They”指代上句中的环保能源，“time”与下句中的“this time”相对应，语意连贯，承上启下。故选F。 40．根据上文“In order to produce practical energy, a transformation of the natural site is often inevitable. This is expensive and has harmful effects on the environment. Application of wind energy would block airflow’s natural speed. Consequently, the pressure balance that is brought about by this current will be affected, and it is important to remember that the environment and weather conditions are directly affected by atmospheric pressure.(为了产生实用的能源，对自然场地的改造往往是不可避免的。这是昂贵的，对环境有有害的影响。风能的使用会阻碍气流的自然速度。因此，这股洋流带来的压力平衡将受到影响，重要的是要记住，环境和天气状况直接受到大气压力的影响。)”和下句“This is the embarrassment mankind has to deal with.(这是人类必须面对的尴尬。)”可知，空处应表示由于上文所述的原因给人类带来的尴尬境况；选项C. For these reasons, bringing about economic growth without any resulting environmental damage is impossible.(由于这些原因，实现经济增长而不造成任何环境破坏是不可能的。)中的“these reasons”指代上文所描述的原因，说明了实现经济增长必然会造成环境破坏这种尴尬境况，承上启下，符合语境。故选C。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Kathy Xu, a high school teacher, had always wanted to see a shark in the wild. The opportunity finally 41 in 2011, when she went on a snorkelling (浮潜) trip to the Ningaloo Reef. She was so inspired by its beauty and grace that tears 42 to her eyes.

Shark parts including meat, cartilage (软骨) and teeth are cut up for export. The most prized are the fins, which 44 high prices. Curious, Xu 45 her bags and headed to the fish market. There, she spoke with several fishermen. Shark fishing is 46 risky and involves hard physical work, but it is one of few ways for them to 47 for their families. “I told them I’d pay them to take 48 out to see these snorkelling havens,” she says. Together, Xu and the fishermen came up with the idea of snorkelling boat trips, and a deal was 49 . In late 2012, Xu 50 her full-time job to focus on building The Dorsal Effect, an ecotourism business she hoped would help save the declining shark 51 .

Unlike conventional conservation projects, 57(1.5分) focus on single species protection, this initiative aims to rebuild entire food webs, a goal that demands 58(1.5分) (cooperate) across scientific disciplines and national borders. The Arctic fox, one of the region’s most vulnerable species, 59(1.5分) (push) to the brink of local extinction due to habitat loss and climate change, but recent efforts 60(1.5分) (yield) promising results so far. What makes this project stand out is its emphasis on indigenous knowledge. Local communities, 61(1.5分) (live) in harmony with polar regions for millennia, possess insights that modern science alone cannot provide. For instance, their traditional methods of tracking ice floe movements have helped researchers identify areas where reintroduction programs are 62(1.5分) (likely) to succeed. Critics, however, warn that rapid intervention may disrupt natural processes, 63(1.5分) (argue) that ecosystems should be left to recover on their own. 64(1.5分) debates continue to rage, one thing is certain: the fate of polar ecosystems is intertwined with human actions. Only by combining scientific innovation with traditional wisdom 65(1.5分) we ensure the survival of these unique landscapes for future generations. 【答案】 56．predicted 57．which 58．cooperation 59．has been pushed 60．have yielded 61．having lived 62．most likely 63．arguing 64．While/Though/Although 65．can 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了极地生态系统的修复，并重点阐述了这一全球性议题的复杂性、创新方法及核心矛盾。 【详解】56．考查过去分词。句意：几十年来，极地生态系统的修复——这一任务远比早期环保主义者预测的更为艰巨——已成为全球优先事项。此处为“more challenging than+过去分词”结构，相当于“more challenging than it was predicted by early environmentalists”，predict 与逻辑主语a task之间是被动关系，故用过去分词predicted。故填predicted。 57．考查定语从句。句意：与只关注单一物种保护的传统保育项目不同，这项倡议旨在重建完整的食物网，这一目标要求跨学科与跨国界的协作。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为conventional conservation projects，指物，定语从句中缺少主语，故应用which引导。故填which。 58．考查名词。句意：同上。此处在句中作宾语，故应用名词“cooperation协作”。故填cooperation。 59．考查动词时态和语态。句意：北极狐作为该地区最脆弱的物种之一，因栖息地丧失和气候变化已被推向区域性灭绝的边缘，但迄今为止，近期的努力已取得了令人鼓舞的成果。此处在句中作谓语动词，主语为Arctic fox，为单数，与push之间为被动关系，且根据“due to habitat loss and climate change”可知，此处强调过去的动作对现在的影响，应用现在完成时。故填has been pushed。 60．考查动词时态。句意：同上。此处在句中作谓语动词，主语为efforts，为复数，与yield之间为主动关系，且根据时间状语so for可知，此处应用现在完成时。故填have yielded。 61．考查非谓语动词。句意：当地社区已与极地地区和谐共处数千年，他们掌握的认知是现代科学无法独立提供的。此处为非谓语动词作状语，local communities与live之间是主动关系，且live这个动作的动作发生在possess之前，故用现在分词的完成式having lived。故填having lived。 62．考查形容词最高级。句意：例如，他们追踪浮冰运动的传统方法帮助研究人员确定了重新引入项目最有可能成功的区域。此处表示“最有可能”，应用副词最高级most likely修饰 to succeed。故填most likely。 63．考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，批评者警告，快速干预可能会破坏自然进程，认为生态系统应任其自行恢复。此处为非谓语动词作伴随状语，critics与argue之间是主动关系，故用现在分词arguing。故填arguing。 64．考查连词。句意：尽管争论仍在激烈进行，但有一点是肯定的：极地生态系统的命运与人类行为息息相关。此处表示让步关系，意为“尽管”，所以此处使用while/though/although引导让步状语从句，句首首字母大写。故填While/Though/Although。 65．考查情态动词。句意：只有将科学创新与传统智慧相结合，我们才能为子孙后代确保这些独特生态景观的存续。此处为“only + 介词短语”置于句首，句子用部分倒装，结合句意 “只有通过将科学创新与传统智慧相结合，我们才能确保这些独特的景观为后代所存活”，故此处应用情态动词can。故填can。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你的留学生朋友Ryan暑期想留在中国做兼职，现有两个岗位供选择，向你征求意见。请给他写一封邮件，内容包括： (1) 你的推荐招聘； (2) 你的理由。 注意： (1) 写作词数应为80个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答； (3) 参考词汇：calligraphy n.书法；column n. 栏目。 Dear Ryan, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Hua 【答案】One possible version: Dear Ryan, Glad to know you’re seeking a part-time job in China during the summer vacation, I’d like to recommend the position of English Interpreter for the Chinese Calligraphy Exhibition at the City Cultural Center.

When his parents announced their move to a small house near the edge of a steadily shrinking forest, he felt astonished and angry. The silence of the countryside felt upsetting rather than peaceful. During his first week, he spent most of his time indoors, glued to his screens, until his mother insisted that he get some fresh air. Reluctantly, Leo ventured into the woods behind their property. After walking for about ten minutes, he stumbled upon a clearing that broke his heart. Instead of natural beauty, he found a dumping ground — plastic bottles glittered in the sun, discarded packaging tangled in the undergrowth, and a faint sour smell hung in the air. In the center stood a lone, young oak tree, its leaves looking dusty and tired, struggling to survive amidst the pollution. Something about this determined tree, fighting for life in such unwelcoming surroundings, stirred a strange sense of protectiveness in him. He felt a connection he hadn’t expected. The following weekend, Leo returned armed with a large garbage bag and a pair of gardening gloves. As he carefully collected the waste, his eyes caught sight of a delicate bird’s nest lying on the ground near the base of the oak tree. Inside rested a single, perfect egg, unbroken but vulnerable. His heart sank with worry. Remembering a nature documentary, he used his gloved hands to gently place the nest back in the lower branches, hoping the parents would return. He started visiting the clearing daily, quietly observing from a distance. Soon, he realized his well-intentioned presence often scared away a curious fox that liked to dig near the tree. He began to understand he was still an outsider here, a well-meaning but disruptive force in this delicate ecosystem. His initial excitement turned into frustration; he wanted to help but feared his efforts were insufficient or even harmful. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One morning, Leo found the nest on the ground again, but this time the egg was sadly cracked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, watching from his window, Leo saw a movement near the oak tree that made him smile. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One morning, Leo found the nest on the ground again, but this time the egg was sadly cracked. A deep sadness washed over him, followed by fierce determination to do better. Realizing that his interference, however well-meant, might have caused the tragedy, he decided to seek proper knowledge. Not only did he spend hours researching online, but he also visited the local library to read books on local wildlife conservation. Learning that many animals are highly sensitive to the human scent and frequent disturbance, he finally understood his mistake. With a renewed sense of purpose, he built a simple, elevated platform using recycled materials and carefully placed the nest securely upon it, this time handling it only with sticks instead of his hands. Weeks later, watching from his window, Leo saw a movement near the oak tree that made him smile. A pair of bright finches were diligently feeding their chirping chick in the very nest that he had secured. The clearing, which he had continued to clean with respect, was now visibly greener and alive with butterflies and other insects. Leo learned that helping nature didn’t mean imposing his will or quick fixes, but offering support with patience, respect, and humble learning. He continued his small, thoughtful acts, proving that true ecological harmony begins with understanding, perseverance, and a truly willing heart. 【导语】本文以城市男孩利奥的乡村生活转变为线索，讲述了利奥随父母搬到森林边后，发现树林空地沦为垃圾场，对一棵顽强的橡树产生保护欲，清理垃圾时救助鸟巢却因不当干预陷入困惑的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天早上，利奥发现鸟巢又掉在了地上，但这次蛋不幸裂了。”可知，第一段可描写利奥悲痛后决心改进，通过查资料、去图书馆学习保护知识，了解到动物对人类气味和干扰敏感，用回收材料搭建高架平台，用树枝安放鸟巢的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“几周后，利奥从窗口望去，看到橡树旁有动静，露出了笑容。”可知，第二段可描写他看到雀鸟在巢中喂养雏鸟，空地经持续清理变得生机盎然，领悟到帮助自然需耐心、尊重与学习，以小行动达成生态和谐的情景。 2. 续写线索：蛋裂悲痛——决心学习保护知识——了解自身错误——搭建高架平台安放鸟巢——目睹雀鸟育雏——空地恢复生机——领悟保护真谛 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①搭建：build/construct ②放置：place/lay ③清理：clean/clear up 情绪类 ①悲痛：sadness/grief ②尊重：respect/honor 【点睛】[高分句型1] Not only did he spend hours researching online, but he also visited the local library to read books on local wildlife conservation.（运用了“not only...but also...”连接两个并列结构，以及“not only”位于句首引出的倒装结构） [高分句型2] The clearing, which he had continued to clean with respect, was now visibly greener and alive with butterflies and other insects.（运用了which引导非限制性定语从句） 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 3 Conservation（较难版01）（原卷版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What are the speakers mainly talking about?

The organizer operates a free collection service at the location where this workshop is based. Artists Weez and Merl are the artists behind this project, who want to challenge the throwaway culture, by showing the beauty of plastic. Rather than shipping huge amounts of plastic waste abroad, why not study the art of heating and shaping, and get hands on with the recycled economy. Details The workshop runs all day from 10 am to 4 or 5 pm. All materials, tools and personal protective equipment will be provided. But we recommend you wear practical warm clothing and footwear that you wouldn’t mind getting dirty. The class is limited to 8 people at most.

Their route covers the park’s core protection zone, with elevations ranging from 1,312 to 7,087 feet. Liu and his partner have to scale cliffs, cross streams and pass through untouched forests, observing and recording vegetation, trees and all creatures. In 2023, they conducted over 16,000 patrols, covering a distance of 25,290 miles. As full-time rangers, their daily duties include preventing the illegal expansion of tea plantations, controlling the spread of pine wilt disease, and stopping forest fires, illegal logging and poaching. If they discover any illegal activities, they have to report them and take immediate enforcement measures. Since 1999, the Wuyi Mountains have been included on both the World Cultural Heritage List and the World Natural Heritage List by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Intelligent technology has been adopted to protect Wuyishan’s biodiversity and ecology. Nearly 800 infrared cameras are installed in the park to monitor surface water, wildlife, air quality, vegetation and tourist numbers. A platform has also been developed to allow rangers to record patrols through photos and videos, and transmit the data to a smart management center. The system helps ensure that management is always up to date with the latest patrol information. Comprehensive protection methods not only safeguard the rich biodiversity of Wuyishan National Park, but also set a benchmark for the effective management of national parks, ensuring that nature thrives in harmony with humans. Indicators for surface water, air quality, and forest soil all meet Class I level, the highest national standard, with a forest coverage rate of 94.5 percent. Before the park was established, Jiuqu Stream would turn muddy whenever it rained, Liu said. However, nowadays, unless there is a pouring downpour, the stream remains clear, and fish can be seen swimming in its water. “As the environment has improved, the wildlife has returned as well,” he said. “We can now easily spot flocks of Silver Pheasants during the day, but a few years ago we would be lucky to see two or three.” 24．(2.5分)What is Liu and his colleague’s patrolling work like? A．Relaxing. B．Annoying. C．Frustrating. D．Demanding. 25．(2.5分)What is the fifth paragraph mainly about? A．Advanced systems focus on wildlife tracking. B．Smart technology enhances park protection. C．Rangers require advanced training for devices. D．Patrol records are kept only for research purposes. 26．(2.5分)What does the underlined phrase “set a benchmark for” mean in Paragraph 6? A．Improve the quality of. B．Set a standard for. C．Make a difference to. D．Have an impact on. 27．(2.5分)Why does the author quote Liu’s words in the last paragraph? A．To show his love for nature. B．To introduce some new species. C．To prove the park’s great changes. D．To emphasize the problem of pollution. （本题10分）The old saying may be true: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. At least that’s the case for human civilizations across 30,000 years of history, according to a new analysis published in Nature. Study leader Philip Riris and his team found that, the more often a population experiences disturbances or downturns, the more likely it is to be able to recover faster the next time around. “It’s an important paper,” said Dagomar Degroot, an associate professor who was not involved in the research. “There is a lot of really influential work on the collapse of societies,” said Degroot, “but a focus on resilience (恢复力) and only resilience is exiguous.” Historians and archaeologists (考古学家) have published many case studies on individual societal crises, Riris agreed. But it’s hard to compare these experiences across space and time. He and his team pulled together data from 16 separate archaeological sites around the globe with data stretching back as far as 30,000 years ago. The team found most of the downturns in the study lasted many decades and had a variety of causes, ranging from environmental change to societal upheaval (动乱).“The winners did better during a crisis, either because they were just lucky or they had some sort of technology or practice or behavior,” Riris said. “After the disturbance, they were more likely to pass down that learning, that aspect of culture that would enable their future generations to do better down the line.” “The archaeological findings go well with historical case studies. Whether modern humans can pull directly from these lessons remains to be doubted,” Degroot said. “All of the societies in the study were preindustrial and might have little in common with today’s global order.” However, Riris said, the ability to compare societies and look for patterns is important. “It provides a framework that will allow resilience to be tackled systematically,” he said. 28．(2.5分)What did Riris’s new study reveal? A．Humans have a long history of disturbances. B．Hard times boost human societies’ resilience. C．Human resilience frees them from downturns. D．Societal collapses are unavoidable over long periods. 29．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “exiguous” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Scientific. B．Rare. C．Understandable. D．Dull. 30．(2.5分)What do we know about societies that survived a disturbance? A．They tended to hand their experience down. B．They were more likely to have great learning ability. C．They would go through fewer societal upheavals. D．They would have favorable environmental conditions. 31．(2.5分)What is Degroot’s attitude towards the findings? A．Unclear. B．Critical. C．Doubtful. D．Objective. （本题10分）Virtual reality is quickly becoming the new technological frontier. Tech companies everywhere seem to be racing to get their foot in the VR door. However, virtual reality has a set of challenges and hurdles that it must overcome in order to work well. It should be noted that VR is heavily dependent on being very fast, very accurate and very good-looking. If it isn’t, the viewer will feel motion sick or disconnected from the world that VR is trying to create. Now that we can actually build VR headsets that begin to meet these requirements, we are seeing a rising interest in VR. As it rises, so does the interest in creating new media to be experienced in using virtual reality. Journalism is a medium built on relevance. Journalists should always be finding new ways to tell stories and deliver content. It is a goldmine for storytelling. What better ways to tell a story to someone than to put them right in the center of it? Virtual reality is a powerful tool for journalists. The consumer isn’t just reading or watching something play out; they’re experiencing it. The immersive nature of VR allows for people to connect with the subject matter on a much deeper level than just reading about it. The experience is emotional, speaking more to our instinct than our intellect. The possibilities for storytelling here are legion, and any storyteller wanting to do something more interesting than their peers should surely be considering the sheer power of VR. The question of virtual reality, though, is not how powerful it is. That is immediately apparent. The question of VR is one of viability and availability. Telling stories must be easy to do, and access to those stories must be readily available. This is the biggest challenge that VR faces. If the tools to tell a story with VR aren’t easy to pick up and learn, VR will fail. If VR technology isn’t both top-of-the-line and affordable, VR will fail. Accessibility was one concern for Thomas Hallaq, assistant professor of journalism and mass communications, who said that current VR technology, is pretty exclusive right now. Despite that, he said he doesn’t think the exclusivity of this technology will be a problem in the long run. “I think it’s very promising,” Hallaq said. “We’re seeing more technology become accessible, and more people having access to that technology. Just look at smartphones.” Like radio, TV and the Internet before it, virtual reality will change the way we tell stories. 32．(2.5分)Why is VR considered a powerful tool for journalism? A．Because it is an exclusively new tool. B．Because it is very powerful and popular. C．Because people can experience the story in person. D．Because it is very fast, accurate and good-looking. 33．(2.5分)According to the passage, what is the biggest challenge VR is facing? A．How powerful and interesting it can be. B．Whether people will have easy access to it. C．Whether qualified VR headsets can be built. D．What new ways people will find to deliver content. 34．(2.5分)What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of VR technology? A．Optimistic. B．Neutral. C．Pessimistic. D．Concerned. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The Wide Popularity of Virtual Reality B．The Future Development of Virtual Reality C．Challenges and Hurdles of Virtual Reality D．Virtual Reality is the Future of Storytelling （本题12.5分）Humankind has tried to improve its standard of living since the very beginning of civilization. Back then, and today, providing food was the basic task for a person. 36(2.5分) People feel the need for not only some primary things, such as bread and shelters, but also for various facilities and luxuries. Providing humanity with these things is connected to the use of natural resources, which requires energy. 37(2.5分) , so economic growth is almost inevitably (不可避免地) associated with environmental damage. 38(2.5分) The first of these is the fact that in order to produce more goods and products, at a faster rate, the construction of large industrial plants is required. These plants produce a lot of waste, which may cause negative long-term health effects to nearby populations of animals, or people. The traditional energy sources, which are commonly used nowadays, are considered to be the greatest polluters to the environment. There also exist so-called eco-friendly sources of energy. 39(2.5分) Of course, during this time people have to make some sacrifices to support these undertakings. In order to produce practical energy, a transformation of the natural site is often inevitable. This is expensive and has harmful effects on the environment. Application of wind energy would block airflow’s natural speed. Consequently, the pressure balance that is brought about by this current will be affected, and it is important to remember that the environment and weather conditions are directly affected by atmospheric pressure. 40(2.5分) This is the embarrassment mankind has to deal with. A good balance between economic development and sustainability is forever what humankind has to keep in mind. A．There are certain aspects of economic growth which affect the environment. B．Clean energy has always been on the priority list for a better environment. C．For these reasons, bringing about economic growth without any resulting environmental damage is impossible. D．However, nowadays the range of required goods has expanded significantly. E．So humankind began to make exploration to satisfy themselves economically and mentally. F．They are sometimes preferred but replacing the traditional sources with them also requires time. G．In turn, the common sources of energy we use today cause pollution. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Kathy Xu, a high school teacher, had always wanted to see a shark in the wild. The opportunity finally 41 in 2011, when she went on a snorkelling (浮潜) trip to the Ningaloo Reef. She was so inspired by its beauty and grace that tears 42 to her eyes. After returning home, Xu learned about the shark trade 43 at one of Indonesia’s largest fish markets, on the island of Lombok. Shark parts including meat, cartilage (软骨) and teeth are cut up for export. The most prized are the fins, which 44 high prices. Curious, Xu 45 her bags and headed to the fish market. There, she spoke with several fishermen. Shark fishing is 46 risky and involves hard physical work, but it is one of few ways for them to 47 for their families. “I told them I’d pay them to take 48 out to see these snorkelling havens,” she says. Together, Xu and the fishermen came up with the idea of snorkelling boat trips, and a deal was 49 . In late 2012, Xu 50 her full-time job to focus on building The Dorsal Effect, an ecotourism business she hoped would help save the declining shark 51 . In 2019, Xu found a female Rhynchobatus cooki, a relative of the shark. The species had not been seen for more than 20 years and was believed to be 52 . The discovery gave scientists hope, and it could be 53 for an in-depth conservation study. In the past decade, global demand for shark fins has 54 — a promising result of conservation campaigns. For now, Kathy, 41, is proud of the small changes she sees happening on Lombok, from the fishermen who now have a new way to 55 an income to the schoolchildren who learn about sharks on tours with The Dorsal Effect. 41．(1分)A．existed B．lasted C．landed D．scheduled 42．(1分)A．bounced B．fell C．dropped D．sprang 43．(1分)A．taking place B．coming along C．taking off D．coming out 44．(1分)A．cut B．fetch C．agree D．pay 45．(1分)A．purchased B．filled C．packed D．opened 46．(1分)A．slightly B．rarely C．terribly D．partly 47．(1分)A．care B．provide C．account D．strive 48．(1分)A．competitors B．participants C．hosts D．tourists 49．(1分)A．changed B．made C．canceled D．discussed 50．(1分)A．continued B．accomplished C．lost D．quit 51．(1分)A．population B．life C．species D．production 52．(1分)A．extinct B．missing C．valueless D．hidden 53．(1分)A．knowledge B．grounds C．necessities D．stress 54．(1分)A．declined B．increased C．firmed D．boomed 55．(1分)A．offer B．distribute C．use D．earn 四、语法填空 （本题15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The restoration of polar ecosystems, a task far more challenging than 56(1.5分) (predict) by early environmentalists, has emerged as a global priority in recent decades. Unlike conventional conservation projects, 57(1.5分) focus on single species protection, this initiative aims to rebuild entire food webs, a goal that demands 58(1.5分) (cooperate) across scientific disciplines and national borders. The Arctic fox, one of the region’s most vulnerable species, 59(1.5分) (push) to the brink of local extinction due to habitat loss and climate change, but recent efforts 60(1.5分) (yield) promising results so far. What makes this project stand out is its emphasis on indigenous knowledge. Local communities, 61(1.5分) (live) in harmony with polar regions for millennia, possess insights that modern science alone cannot provide. For instance, their traditional methods of tracking ice floe movements have helped researchers identify areas where reintroduction programs are 62(1.5分) (likely) to succeed. Critics, however, warn that rapid intervention may disrupt natural processes, 63(1.5分) (argue) that ecosystems should be left to recover on their own. 64(1.5分) debates continue to rage, one thing is certain: the fate of polar ecosystems is intertwined with human actions. Only by combining scientific innovation with traditional wisdom 65(1.5分) we ensure the survival of these unique landscapes for future generations. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你的留学生朋友Ryan暑期想留在中国做兼职，现有两个岗位供选择，向你征求意见。请给他写一封邮件，内容包括： (1) 你的推荐招聘； (2) 你的理由。 注意： (1) 写作词数应为80个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答； (3) 参考词汇：calligraphy n.书法；column n. 栏目。 Dear Ryan, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Hua 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Leo had always been a true city boy, more familiar with the constant noise of traffic than the songs of birds. When his parents announced their move to a small house near the edge of a steadily shrinking forest, he felt astonished and angry. The silence of the countryside felt upsetting rather than peaceful. During his first week, he spent most of his time indoors, glued to his screens, until his mother insisted that he get some fresh air. Reluctantly, Leo ventured into the woods behind their property. After walking for about ten minutes, he stumbled upon a clearing that broke his heart. Instead of natural beauty, he found a dumping ground — plastic bottles glittered in the sun, discarded packaging tangled in the undergrowth, and a faint sour smell hung in the air. In the center stood a lone, young oak tree, its leaves looking dusty and tired, struggling to survive amidst the pollution. Something about this determined tree, fighting for life in such unwelcoming surroundings, stirred a strange sense of protectiveness in him. He felt a connection he hadn’t expected. The following weekend, Leo returned armed with a large garbage bag and a pair of gardening gloves. As he carefully collected the waste, his eyes caught sight of a delicate bird’s nest lying on the ground near the base of the oak tree. Inside rested a single, perfect egg, unbroken but vulnerable. His heart sank with worry. Remembering a nature documentary, he used his gloved hands to gently place the nest back in the lower branches, hoping the parents would return. He started visiting the clearing daily, quietly observing from a distance. Soon, he realized his well-intentioned presence often scared away a curious fox that liked to dig near the tree. He began to understand he was still an outsider here, a well-meaning but disruptive force in this delicate ecosystem. His initial excitement turned into frustration; he wanted to help but feared his efforts were insufficient or even harmful. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One morning, Leo found the nest on the ground again, but this time the egg was sadly cracked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, watching from his window, Leo saw a movement near the oak tree that made him smile. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
