A decade ago, he was managing private land when the owner let him hunt. The land included an open, rocky area, which he decided would be ideal for planting food to bring more deer and wild turkeys there. He then sprayed it with herbicide (除草剂), added soil, put down a feed mix and cut down some trees to let in more light. In the dry, shallow soil, the seeds didn’t take. But around the edges, where he hadn’t sprayed or seeded, the additional sunlight brought a beautiful surprise. “I came back up the next summer and it was just, like, color everywhere,” says Lybarger. “Just, like, really crazy-looking plants that I saw.” After he posted photos of the flowers on Facebook, a local botanist named Kevin England got in touch. On a visit to the land, Lybarger was surprised as England pointed out rare and vulnerable species. Lybarger realized that he had killed off an area with a wild seed bank of countless local species. “That’s when I think managing for biodiversity is probably the best option.” Lybarger found a mission: to save the remains of those lands. Near his friend Eaton’s property, a long strip of dead grass showed where someone had sprayed herbicide along the road. Lybarger asked Eaton to hang a sign instructing people not to mow or spray. A few miles away, Lybarger pointed out another endangered species, leafy prairie clover, that his social media followers had been helpful in protecting. Then, he partnered with an artist to design a T-shirt featuring the plant, hoping to raise awareness and help pay for preservation efforts. Lybarger thinks his biggest contribution comes through education on social media, encouraging people to grow the native plants that best support declining insects. 24．(2.5分)Why did Lybarger first make changes to the private land? A．To remove the weeds. B．To catch more wildlife. C．To win followers online. D．To bring in new species. 25．(2.5分)How did Lybarger get to find the rare species? A．By constant trials. B．By professional skills. C．By considerate planning. D．By an unexpected mistake. 26．(2.5分)What is paragraph 6 mainly about? A．How Lybarger protected the local plants. B．Why natives supported Lybarger's plan. C．Where Lybarger saved the plants. D．What challenges Lybarger's mission posed. 27．(2.5分)Which of the following can best describe Lybarger? A．Brave and ambitious. B．Proud and selfless. C．Influential and responsible. D．Thoughtful and honest. 【答案】24．B 25．D 26．A 27．C 【导语】文章主要讲述了莱巴格尔因除草失误意外发现珍稀植物，转而投身植物保护的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The land included an open, rocky area, which he decided would be ideal for planting food to bring more deer and wild turkeys there. (这片土地包括一块开阔的岩石地带，他认为在那里种植食物以吸引更多的鹿和野生火鸡会很理想。)”可知，莱巴格尔最初改造这片私人土地是为了吸引更多的野生动物。 25．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He then sprayed it with herbicide (除草剂), added soil, put down a feed mix and cut down some trees to let in more light. In the dry, shallow soil, the seeds didn’t take. But around the edges, where he hadn’t sprayed or seeded, the additional sunlight brought a beautiful surprise.(于是，他在地上喷洒了除草剂，添了土，撒下饲料混合物，还砍倒了一些树木以增加光照。然而，在干燥贫瘠的浅土里，种子没能发芽。但在边缘那些他既没喷药也没播种的地方，额外的阳光却带来了一场美丽的惊喜。)”、第四段“After he posted photos of the flowers on Facebook, a local botanist named Kevin England got in touch. On a visit to the land, Lybarger was surprised as England pointed out rare and vulnerable species. Lybarger realized that he had killed off an area with a wild seed bank of countless local species.(他在脸书上发布了这些花卉的照片后，当地一位名叫凯文·英格兰的植物学家联系上了他。在探访那片土地时，英格兰指认出了稀有且濒危的物种，这让莱巴格尔大为惊讶。他这才意识到，自己喷药毁掉的区域，原本蕴藏着一个拥有无数本地物种的野生种子库。)”可知，莱巴格尔原本打算喷洒除草剂种植饲料，结果种子没长出来，反而在没喷洒的边缘地带意外长出了美丽的植物，随后经植物学家提醒才发现那是珍稀物种。由此可知，他是因一次意外的错误而发现了稀有物种。 26．主旨大意题。根据第六段“Lybarger found a mission: to save the remains of those lands. Near his friend Eaton's property, a long strip of dead grass showed where someone had sprayed herbicide along the road. Lybarger asked Eaton to hang a sign instructing people not to mow or spray. A few miles away, Lybarger pointed out another endangered species, leafy prairie clover, that his social media followers had been helpful in protecting. Then, he partnered with an artist to design a T-shirt featuring the plant, hoping to raise awareness and help pay for preservation efforts.(莱巴格尔找到了自己的使命：拯救那些土地的残余生机。在他朋友伊顿的地产附近，一长条枯死的草地显示有人沿路喷洒了除草剂。莱巴格尔请求伊顿悬挂指示牌，告诫人们不要在此割草或喷药。数英里外，莱巴格尔指出了另一种濒危物种——叶状草原三叶草，他的社交媒体粉丝们曾助力保护这种植物。随后，他与一位艺术家合作设计了以此植物为主题的T恤，希望能提高人们的保护意识，并为保护工作筹集资金。)”可知，本段主要讲述了他保护当地植物的具体做法。 27．推理判断题。根据第一段“Raised in Alabama, Lybarger has found unexpected internet fame by introducing his followers to the ignored world of southeastern plants. (在阿拉巴马州长大的莱巴格尔通过向他的追随者介绍被忽视的东南部植物世界，在网上意外走红。)”可知，他很有影响力；根据第五段““That’s when I think managing for biodiversity is probably the best option.”(“那时我认为，管理生物多样性可能是最好的选择。”)”及最后一段“Lybarger thinks his biggest contribution comes through education on social media, encouraging people to grow the native plants that best support declining insects. (莱巴格尔认为他最大的贡献来自于社交媒体上的教育，鼓励人们种植最能支持数量下降的昆虫的本地植物。)”可知，他非常有责任感。 （本题10分）Phood is a green-minded urban farm and not-for-profit business based in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

In the spring, they prepare to move thousands of miles to the Mountain West of Central America, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards. To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁徙动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds’ survival. “In discussing climate change, we often focus on warming,” says Scott Loss, a co-author of the study. “But the length and timing of seasons — like when winter ends and spring begins — are some of the most dramatic effects of climate change.” Loss and his colleagues used satellite imagery from 2002 to 2021 to calculate the average start of spring green-up along the typical migration routes of 150 North American bird species, and then compared that timing with the current green-up. They found that spring is indeed beginning earlier along birds’ migration routes. “On the contrary, previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America, ” says Morgan Tingley, an ornithologist at UCLA, “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable (脆弱的). ” “Part of it is knowing which species are vulnerable to various threats,” Loss says. “This adds to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide range of bird species.” And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible. “It’s really important, if we can’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.” 32．(2.5分)What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To compare male western tanager and female ones. B．To explain why insects and berries are critical for birds during migration. C．To describe the physical appearance and migration route of western tanagers. D．To introduce the topic of how climate change affects migratory birds’ survival. 33．(2.5分)What may cause a direct threat to western tanagers’ survival? A．Global warming. B．The duration of changing seasons. C．Loss of habitats due to human activities. D．Decreased access to foods during migration. 34．(2.5分)What is unique about the new study on birds like western tanagers? A．It covers a wider geographic range. B．It reveals the decline in bird populations. C．It centers on the adaptation of bird species. D．It ensures the existence of a timing mismatch. 35．(2.5分)What does Loss suggest we do to safeguard migratory birds? A．Reduce the effects of climate change. B．Preserve ecosystems for bird species. C．Address emissions and habitat loss. D．Expand researches on threats to birds. 【答案】32．D 33．D 34．A 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述气候变化致候鸟迁徙与食物周期错配，需减排与保护栖息地以应对。 32．推理判断题。根据第一段“The male western tanager (唐纳雀) looks like a little flame, while females are less showy, a dusty yellow. In the spring, they prepare to move thousands of miles to the Mountain West of Central America, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards. (雄性西唐纳雀羽毛艳丽如跳动的火焰，而雌鸟羽色则较为朴素，呈现灰黄色调。每逢春季，它们便开启跨越数千英里的迁徙之旅，飞往中美洲西部山区，途中穿越广袤草原、无垠荒漠，偶尔也会掠过城郊庭院。)”及第二段“But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁徙动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds’ survival. (随着全球气候变化导致春季提前到来，西部唐纳雀等鸟类在所谓的“绿期”，即植物开始生长、花朵绽放、昆虫出现的阶段，结束后才抵达目的地。根据一项于3月初发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》（PNAS）的研究，迁徙动物与其食物来源之间的这种时间错配现象在整个北美地区普遍存在，可能对迁徙鸟类的生存造成严重影响。)”可知，首段描述唐纳雀的外貌和迁徙路线，实则为第二段讨论“气候变化导致迁徙时间错配”做铺垫，所以第一段的写作目的是引出气候变化如何影响候鸟生存的主题。故选D。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段“According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁徙动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds’ survival. (根据一项于3月初发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》（PNAS）的研究，迁徙动物与其食物来源之间的这种时间错配现象在整个北美地区普遍存在，可能对迁徙鸟类的生存造成严重影响。)”可知，动物的迁徙时间与昆虫或花朵生长周期错配导致的食物短缺，这可能直接威胁西唐纳雀的生存。故选D。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段““On the contrary, previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America, ” says Morgan Tingley, an ornithologist at UCLA, “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable (脆弱的). ” (​​“恰恰相反，此前的研究主要集中在北美东部的鸣禽上，”加州大学洛杉矶分校的鸟类学家Morgan Tingley表示，“但这项新研究表明，西部地区的鸟类以及处于食物链不同层级的物种可能同样面临脆弱性风险。”)”可知，新研究的独特性在于涵盖北美西部的鸟类，即涵盖更广的地理范围。故选A。 35．细节理解题。根据最后一段“And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible. “It’s really important, if we can’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.” (他希望这些信息能够凸显出亟需尽快减少温室气体排放的迫切性。“这一点极为重要，”他补充道，“如果我们无法立即应对气候变化，就必须竭尽全力减缓栖息地的丧失。”)”可知，减少气候变化的影响，减缓栖息地的丧失是Loss给我们的建议。故选A。 （本题12.5分）As environmental concerns grow, having an environmentally friendly home is becoming increasingly important to many people. 36(2.5分) Here are some practical steps you can take.

Any equipment will get older. 37(2.5分) High-efficiency equipment can significantly impact energy usage and, during a remodel, may provide extra space since their sizes are getting smaller and smaller. Fix energy-efficient windows 38(2.5分) However, if you have single-pane (单层玻璃) windows or if there are noticeable signs of damage, fixing energy-efficient windows can save you money in the long run. The most energy-efficient windows feature double or more panes of glass with inert (惰性的) gas between the panes. 39(2.5分) About half of a home’s total energy usage goes toward heating and cooling. Fixing a smart thermostat can help you adjust the times you have your heating or cooling running according to a pre-set schedule, which can help you cut energy bills. According to a study, a smart thermostat can reduce your heating and cooling bills by up to 8%. Switch to solar energy Solar technology generates electricity from sunlight without producing pollution or greenhouse gases, helping homeowners save on the costs of water and electricity. You can fix solar panels on your roof. One benefit you can get is to make the solar panels perfectly integrate with your home. 40(2.5分) This is a great way to benefit both yourself and the environment. A．Consider smart home climate control. B．Reduce household energy consumption. C．Replacing windows can be quite expensive. D．The best way is to replace them before they fail. E．And the other is to reduce your daily energy usage. F．Do you want to make your own home more eco-friendly? G．Have you created an eco-friendly home to make you suitable. 【答案】36．F 37．D 38．C 39．A 40．E 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了四种打造环保家居的实用方法：更换老旧设备、安装节能窗户、使用智能温控设备以及改用太阳能。 【详解】36．上文“As environmental concerns grow, having an environmentally friendly home is becoming increasingly important to many people.(随着环保意识的增强，对许多人来说，拥有一个环保型住宅变得越来越重要。)”提出“环保家居越来越重要”，下文“Here are some practical steps you can take.(以下是一些你可以采取的实际措施。)”直接给出“实用建议”，因此空格处应为引出话题的疑问句。F选项“Do you want to make your own home more eco-friendly?( 您是否希望让自己的家更加环保？)”完美衔接上下文，自然过渡到下文的建议。 37．本段主题是“Replace old equipment(更换旧设备)”。上文“Older equipment tends to consume more energy than newer models. Any equipment will get older.(旧设备通常比新设备耗能更多。所有设备都会随着时间推移而老化。)”说“旧设备耗能更高，任何设备都会老化”，下文“High-efficiency equipment can significantly impact energy usage and, during a remodel, may provide extra space since their sizes are getting smaller and smaller.(高效节能设备能显著降低能源消耗，在翻新时，由于其尺寸越来越小，还能提供额外的空间。)”讲“高效设备的优势”，因此空格处应说明如何处理老化设备。D选项“The best way is to replace them before they fail.(最好的方法是在它们坏掉之前更换它们。)”承上启下，既回应了“设备老化” 的问题，又为后文介绍高效设备做铺垫。 38．下文“However, if you have single-pane (单层玻璃) windows or if there are noticeable signs of damage, fixing energy-efficient windows can save you money in the long run.(然而，如果你的窗户是单窗格的，或者有明显的损坏迹象，从长远来看，安装节能窗户可以节省你的钱。)”出现转折词 “However”，表明前后语义相反。提到“从长远来看，安装节能窗户能省钱”，因此空格处应指出安装节能窗户的缺点。C 选项“Replacing windows can be quite expensive.(更换窗户可能相当昂贵。)”与后文“省钱”形成鲜明转折，逻辑通顺。 39．空格处是小标题，需概括本段核心内容。本段下文“About half of a home’s total energy usage goes toward heating and cooling. Fixing a smart thermostat can help you adjust the times you have your heating or cooling running according to a pre-set schedule, which can help you cut energy bills.( 家庭总能耗中约有一半用于供暖和制冷。安装智能温控器可以帮助你根据预设时间自动调节供暖或制冷设备的运行，从而帮助降低能源费用。)”主要介绍“智能恒温器可自动调节供暖和制冷时间，从而降低能耗和账单”，核心是通过智能设备控制家居气候。A选项“Consider smart home climate control(考虑智能家居气候控制)”精准概括本段主旨，适合作为该段小标题。 40．上文“You can fix solar panels on your roof. One benefit you can get is to make the solar panels perfectly integrate with your home.(你可以在屋顶上安装太阳能电池板。你可以得到的一个好处是使太阳能电池板与你的家完美地结合在一起。)”说“安装太阳能电池板的一个好处是能与房屋完美融合”，使用了“One benefit”，因此空格处应承接“另一个好处”。E选项 “And the other is to reduce your daily energy usage.(另一个是减少你日常的能源使用。)”与前文“One benefit”形成固定搭配，且符合太阳能发电的实际优势，与后文“对自己和环境都有益”呼应。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Six years ago, Simon Dell began creating his “mouse village” when he spotted a wild mouse in his back garden.

Far more than an ordinary pond, it was the warm heart of our community and an irreplaceable bond connecting every resident. It served as a joyful playground for children, a peaceful resting spot for the elderly to chat and enjoy the soft wind, and a comfortable place for neighbors to exchange kind words after a busy day. It filled our neighborhood with warmth and vitality (活力), gifting our daily life with simple, sweet joy. This precious shared treasure witnessed our warm moments and made the corner of Laval feel like a more loving and harmonious home. Unfortunately, one year ago, this beloved little corner was totally ruined by careless littering. People casually threw plastic bags, empty bottles and all kinds of daily waste into it: plastic bags floating on the water like torn old cloths, glass bottles half stuck in the thick black mud of the shallows like cast-aside teeth, and bad food waste swimming about like rotten (腐烂的) wood. Its once clear water turned into dark black mud, sending out an unpleasant smell that made people hurry away in dislike. No small living things could be seen at all now, and the once lovely waterside plants were dying fast, with their trunks going bad and falling into the dirty water like broken small branches. This once lovely place was now dirty and smelly, greatly influencing our community. It stayed quiet and grey, with no sign of happy laughter. More and more neighbors were starting to express their complaints. When I shared my deep disappointment about these terrible changes with my father one afternoon, he told me patiently that the pond was a precious gift for our community. His words touched me deeply, leaving me with a strong desire to protect the pond. 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。 I began to brainstorm ways with my father to protect this pond. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After our one-week green talks, I called on neighbors to start our much-needed cleanup. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I began to brainstorm ways with my father to protect this pond. First, we designed colorful posters comparing the pond’s past beauty with its current mess, printing them to post around the neighborhood. We also planned small ‌“green talks” in the community hall, where we shared how littering ruined the pond and simple ways to fix it. I felt a spark of hope, knowing we could turn things around if everyone pitched in. After our one-week green talks, I called on neighbors to start our much-needed cleanup. Over twenty people showed up with gloves and trash bags. Some fished plastic waste from the water, others cleared mud-covered bottles from the banks, and elderly neighbors collected dying plants to replant later. By day’s end, the pond looked cleaner, and the foul smell had lessened. We set up trash bins nearby and a reminder sign. When I saw a kid stop to admire the water, I knew our warm community corner was on its way back. 【导语】本文以社区池塘的变迁为线索展开，讲述了曾经充满活力的社区池塘因乱扔垃圾变得脏乱恶臭，作者在父亲的鼓励下决心保护池塘的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写作者和父亲设计宣传海报、策划环保宣讲会，通过对比池塘今昔唤起邻居的保护意识，为后续行动铺垫。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写宣讲会后邻居们响应号召参与清理，分工协作改善池塘环境，最终看到池塘初显生机，社区暖意回归。 2. 续写线索：设计宣传海报——举办环保宣讲——号召邻居清理——分工协作整治——设置防护设施——重现社区生机 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①出现：show up/turn up ②收集：collect/gather 情绪类 ①希望：hope/prospect ②欣赏：admire/enjoy 【点睛】[高分句型1] We also planned small “green talks” in the community hall, where we shared how littering ruined the pond and simple ways to fix it.

A decade ago, he was managing private land when the owner let him hunt. The land included an open, rocky area, which he decided would be ideal for planting food to bring more deer and wild turkeys there. He then sprayed it with herbicide (除草剂), added soil, put down a feed mix and cut down some trees to let in more light. In the dry, shallow soil, the seeds didn’t take. But around the edges, where he hadn’t sprayed or seeded, the additional sunlight brought a beautiful surprise. “I came back up the next summer and it was just, like, color everywhere,” says Lybarger. “Just, like, really crazy-looking plants that I saw.” After he posted photos of the flowers on Facebook, a local botanist named Kevin England got in touch. On a visit to the land, Lybarger was surprised as England pointed out rare and vulnerable species. Lybarger realized that he had killed off an area with a wild seed bank of countless local species. “That’s when I think managing for biodiversity is probably the best option.” Lybarger found a mission: to save the remains of those lands. Near his friend Eaton’s property, a long strip of dead grass showed where someone had sprayed herbicide along the road. Lybarger asked Eaton to hang a sign instructing people not to mow or spray. A few miles away, Lybarger pointed out another endangered species, leafy prairie clover, that his social media followers had been helpful in protecting. Then, he partnered with an artist to design a T-shirt featuring the plant, hoping to raise awareness and help pay for preservation efforts. Lybarger thinks his biggest contribution comes through education on social media, encouraging people to grow the native plants that best support declining insects. 24．(2.5分)Why did Lybarger first make changes to the private land? A．To remove the weeds. B．To catch more wildlife. C．To win followers online. D．To bring in new species. 25．(2.5分)How did Lybarger get to find the rare species? A．By constant trials. B．By professional skills. C．By considerate planning. D．By an unexpected mistake. 26．(2.5分)What is paragraph 6 mainly about? A．How Lybarger protected the local plants. B．Why natives supported Lybarger's plan. C．Where Lybarger saved the plants. D．What challenges Lybarger's mission posed. 27．(2.5分)Which of the following can best describe Lybarger? A．Brave and ambitious. B．Proud and selfless. C．Influential and responsible.

With a mission to make the most of positive impact on both the environment and society, Phood began as a food truck serving nutritious meals, but has since grown into a community farming project. It now produces sustainable (可持续的) food while supporting individuals facing social challenges and equipping them with tools to overcome challenges and transform them into positive outcomes. Phood’s philosophy focuses on reconnecting the city, nature, and people. As noted by Hactivist Guide, it transforms food production into a platform for personal engagement, emphasizing accessible community education and the benefits of working with nature. At the Phood Farm Picking Garden, community members can pick their own vegetables and receive discounts at the farm shop, which sells microgreens, mushrooms, kombucha, and oils. Located on a 1.5-acre plot, the farm grows seasonal vegetables, fruits and flowers, using sustainable practices. Participants learn about permaculture and aquaponics through hands-on workshops. The goal is to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that harmonizes human activity with nature, promoting regeneration rather than depletion (消耗). Beyond environmental goals, Phood supports social growth. It offers a supportive environment for those with conditions like ADHD and burnout. Participants work alongside trained supervisors, who provide guidance and tools such as Tai Chi to help them recover in a fast-paced world. This caring environment allows individuals to develop confidence, learn skills, and feel a sense of belonging. Phood views growth as a gradual process, much like growing plants. It provides encouragement, development opportunities, and a pressure-free space for all. Staff members report that participants often experience significant growth in self-confidence.

In the spring, they prepare to move thousands of miles to the Mountain West of Central America, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards. To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁徙动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds’ survival. “In discussing climate change, we often focus on warming,” says Scott Loss, a co-author of the study. “But the length and timing of seasons — like when winter ends and spring begins — are some of the most dramatic effects of climate change.” Loss and his colleagues used satellite imagery from 2002 to 2021 to calculate the average start of spring green-up along the typical migration routes of 150 North American bird species, and then compared that timing with the current green-up. They found that spring is indeed beginning earlier along birds’ migration routes. “On the contrary, previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America, ” says Morgan Tingley, an ornithologist at UCLA, “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable (脆弱的). ” “Part of it is knowing which species are vulnerable to various threats,” Loss says. “This adds to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide range of bird species.” And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible. “It’s really important, if we can’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.” 32．(2.5分)What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To compare male western tanager and female ones. B．To explain why insects and berries are critical for birds during migration. C．To describe the physical appearance and migration route of western tanagers. D．To introduce the topic of how climate change affects migratory birds’ survival. 33．(2.5分)What may cause a direct threat to western tanagers’ survival? A．Global warming. B．The duration of changing seasons. C．Loss of habitats due to human activities. D．Decreased access to foods during migration. 34．(2.5分)What is unique about the new study on birds like western tanagers? A．It covers a wider geographic range. B．It reveals the decline in bird populations. C．It centers on the adaptation of bird species. D．It ensures the existence of a timing mismatch. 35．(2.5分)What does Loss suggest we do to safeguard migratory birds? A．Reduce the effects of climate change. B．Preserve ecosystems for bird species. C．Address emissions and habitat loss. D．Expand researches on threats to birds. （本题12.5分）As environmental concerns grow, having an environmentally friendly home is becoming increasingly important to many people. 36(2.5分) Here are some practical steps you can take. Replace old equipment Older equipment tends to consume more energy than newer models.

Far more than an ordinary pond, it was the warm heart of our community and an irreplaceable bond connecting every resident. It served as a joyful playground for children, a peaceful resting spot for the elderly to chat and enjoy the soft wind, and a comfortable place for neighbors to exchange kind words after a busy day. It filled our neighborhood with warmth and vitality (活力), gifting our daily life with simple, sweet joy. This precious shared treasure witnessed our warm moments and made the corner of Laval feel like a more loving and harmonious home. Unfortunately, one year ago, this beloved little corner was totally ruined by careless littering. People casually threw plastic bags, empty bottles and all kinds of daily waste into it: plastic bags floating on the water like torn old cloths, glass bottles half stuck in the thick black mud of the shallows like cast-aside teeth, and bad food waste swimming about like rotten (腐烂的) wood. Its once clear water turned into dark black mud, sending out an unpleasant smell that made people hurry away in dislike. No small living things could be seen at all now, and the once lovely waterside plants were dying fast, with their trunks going bad and falling into the dirty water like broken small branches. This once lovely place was now dirty and smelly, greatly influencing our community. It stayed quiet and grey, with no sign of happy laughter. More and more neighbors were starting to express their complaints. When I shared my deep disappointment about these terrible changes with my father one afternoon, he told me patiently that the pond was a precious gift for our community. His words touched me deeply, leaving me with a strong desire to protect the pond. 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。 I began to brainstorm ways with my father to protect this pond. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After our one-week green talks, I called on neighbors to start our much-needed cleanup. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 $
