But Kyle Lybarger, born and raised in Alabama, has found unexpected Internet fame by introducing his followers to the overlooked world of southeastern plants. In an interview, Lybarger credits his success to stubbornness, to a positive energy he inherited from his late dad and, largely, to not worrying about what others think. “I was a deer hunter, forester, a man posting about flowers,” he says. “You have to really care the least about what people think of you to do that.” About a decade ago, Lybarger cleared a small area of land in a forest to grow plants whose fruits would attract deer and wild turkeys. He even applied some herbicide (除草剂) and cut down the surrounding trees to let in more light. The next summer, he found the additional sunlight brought a beautiful surprise: an amazing variety of wild flowers. After he posted the flowers on Facebook, a local botanist and science teacher got in touch, confirming some rare and vulnerable species, such as Alabama larkspur. Lybarger suddenly realized that the grassland he had killed was ideal for attracting wildlife itself. This experience inspired him to dive into a body of research indicating that historically the Southeast was home to expansive grasslands as well as those wild flowers. It was then that Lybarger found his mission: to save the remaining grasslands and flora. Together with a botanist from Auburn University, he appealed on all the major social media platforms to forest owners and farmers to stop mowing (修剪草坪) and using herbicides. In 2023 he partnered with an artist to design a T-shirt featuring the rare plants, hoping to raise public awareness and help pay for conservation. The project ended up raising over $100,000 in less than a year, most of which went to his conservation efforts. “My biggest contribution comes through education on social media, influencing people to grow the native plants that best support declining pollinators (授粉昆虫) and other insects,” he says, “One person, one yard, one-tenth of an acre can make a bigger difference than you think.” 24．(2.5分)According to Lybarger, he mainly owes his success to ________. A．his enthusiasm about native plants B．the development of internet industry C．the spiritual support from his late dad D．his freedom from others’ judgement 25．(2.5分)What led Lybarger to discover the value of the wild flowers? A．His being brought up in Alabama. B．His being a sociable forester. C．His working experience as a hunter. D．The feedback from a local botanist. 26．(2.5分)Why does the writer mention the money in paragraph 4? A．To indicate the difficulty of their project. B．To show the artistic value of their design. C．To prove the success of the project. D．To explain the ambition of his team. 27．(2.5分)What message does Lybarger want to convey in the last paragraph? A．Virtue is its own reward. B．Many drops make a shower. C．Roses given, fragrance in hand. D．Wisdom begins with admitting your ignorance. （本题10分）Oysters (牡蛎) are called “ecosystem engineers”. They build reefs (礁) using living oysters and shells left by past generations. As important parts of ocean environments, oyster reefs offer shelters for hundreds of sea creatures and keep the natural balance of sea waters. Unfortunately, fishing activities and coastal development have caused severe damage, and around 85 percent of oyster reefs across Australia have disappeared so far. To save the fading reefs, researchers have been working hard to create man-made habitats for oysters. They first studied natural oyster reefs carefully and made an important discovery: natural reefs are not just random piles of shells, but well-organized three-dimensional (三维的) structures. The shape of a reef plays a key role in the survival of sea life and the growth speed of the reef itself. To figure out whether this rule can work in man-made reefs, the researchers used 3D imaging technology to examine surviving Sydney rock oyster reefs. Based on the collected data, they built computer models and designed 16 types of concrete units with different heights and shapes. These units were placed in three bays near natural reefs. For a long time, the team kept tracking young oysters to record their settlement, growth and survival conditions. The final results showed that the most effective designs were neither the tallest nor the most difficult ones. The best structures copied features of natural reefs, offering plenty of small hidden spaces. These spaces could protect baby oysters from natural enemies and bad environmental influences. Although total surface area matters, young oysters are tiny and easily affected by outside threats. It is meaningless to attract large numbers of young oysters if the reef cannot keep them alive. This research brings practical advice for the recovery of global oyster reefs. Professor Joshua Madin points out that nature has created perfect designs for reefs. People just need to learn these natural rules and put them into use, so that oyster reefs can grow better and last longer. 28．(2.5分)Why are oysters called “ecosystem engineers”? A．They control reef growth speed. B．They help shape coastal habitats. C．They balance the climate of the sea. D．They show many different kinds of sea life. 29．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the scientists’ research in Paragraph 3? A．To compare different kinds of wild oysters in Australia. B．To improve the 3D imaging technology for sea research. C．To find out if the reef structure really works as expected. D．To record the total number of oysters in three nearby bays. 30．(2.5分)What did the best design of oyster reefs feature? A．Many difficult designs. B．Fully closed structures. C．Widely spaced structures. D．Plenty of small sheltered spaces. 31．(2.5分)What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A．Destroyed oyster reefs are difficult to rebuild. B．Man-made reefs can fully replace natural ones. C．The recovery of reefs depends on new technical ways. D．Nature gives us a good example for the recovery of oyster reefs. （本题10分）Hidden in the Mianhua Sinkhole (天坑) of Luocheng, Hechi City, Guangxi, lies a one-of-a-kind cliff-side (崖边) bookstore. This 326-meter-deep sinkhole, once only an unknown natural wonder, has now transformed into a site combining wonderful natural surroundings with a unique reading experience and thus attracting visitors from both home and abroad. The inspiration for this bookstore came to founder He Zhijian two years ago during a visit to an overseas bookstore, and his ideas were later further enriched by visiting Hangzhou’s Tsutaya Books. The result is an open-air cliff-side space filled with over 10,000 books, creating a 10-meter-high, 150-meter-long “canyon (峡谷) of knowledge”. One of the bookstore’s unique features is its natural protection from the elements: no matter how strong the wind or heavy the rain, the space never gets wet, as the sinkhole acts as a natural shelter (遮蔽), protecting the books and reading area perfectly. The construction of the bookstore is in perfect harmony with the natural landscape, with environmental protection as a top focus. Original rock formations have been carefully protected. At the sinkhole bottom, except for a raised walkway winding through wild banana plants, the area remains completely untouched, showing great respect for nature and efforts to maintain environmental balance. Mianhua Village, where the bookstore is located, was once cut off by mountains. A significant change took place when this project was started. “We thought it was a great pity that the county’s fascinating natural landscapes were hidden deep in the mountains, unknown to the outside world,” said the project planners. “That was why we decided to develop the scenic spot that combines nature with culture — aiming to attract more visitors and, in turn, improve local residents’ lives through tourism development.” 32．(2.5分)What inspired the founder’s design? A．Trips to bookstores home and abroad. B．The natural view of mountain villages. C．Advice from professional designers. D．Deep research on local ancient culture. 33．(2.5分)How does the sinkhole itself contribute to the bookstore? A．It protects the original rock formations perfectly. B．It provides the rock walls for the bookshelves. C．It blocks noise to create a quiet environment. D．It functions as a natural shelter against the weather. 34．(2.5分)What principle guided the construction? A．Balancing protection and development. B．Making efforts to serve local research work. C．Giving priority to cultural tourism project. D．Remaining environment completely untouched. 35．(2.5分)Why does the author write the text? A．To call on the public to protect the environment of sinkholes. B．To share the founder He Zhijian’s successful experience. C．To recommend a hidden natural wonder to tourists. D．To introduce a unique culture-nature combined tourism project. （本题12.5分）Mike, a devoted birdwatcher, begins the morning not with an alarm, but with the first chorus of dawn. His retreat is the quiet edge of the wetland, and his tool is an old telescope. 36(2.5分) A study confirms that birdwatching can boost happiness, reduce stress, and deepen one’s bond with nature more effectively than a simple walk in the park. This experience reflects the deeply rooted human connection to the natural world. Mike doesn’t just observe nature; he feels part of it. 37(2.5分) Researchers suggest that biodiversity itself functions as a kind of medicine, easing tension and inviting calm through its subtle complexity. 38(2.5分) When Mike is tracking a bird’s slow hunt or identifying a bird by its melody, he enters a state known as “flow”. Time slips away, replaced by focused curiosity and quiet engagement. This absorption emerges naturally, leaving him afterward with a gentle wave of satisfaction — a mental clarity that stays long after he lowers his telescope. What makes birdwatching uniquely effective, in Mike’s view, is its mix of passive immersion and active attention. Unlike a casual walk, it requires observation, identification, and subtle reasoning. 39(2.5分) For Mike, each morning spent among the reeds (芦苇) is more than a pastime. 40(2.5分) Here, he finds a conversation with the wild, and a proven support for mental well-being. With each new sighting, he doesn’t just add to his life list — he returns to his daily life a little lighter, a little clearer, reminded that sometimes, the best therapy comes on wings. A．It is a practice in mindfulness. B．This is just a pastime bringing him in the wild. C．The diversity of life in these habitats refreshes his mind. D．Birdwatching often causes Mike to be tense but fulfilled. E．Beyond this sense of connection lies a deeper psychological reward. F．Recently, science has begun to explain what Mike has felt for years. G．These actions keep him in the present, turning a hobby into deep focus. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）The first time I saw a red-crowned crane (丹顶鹤), I didn’t know its name. I took a photo out of boredom and posted it online. Three days later, my 41 teacher called me in. That photo would change my life in ways I could never have 42 . “Do you know what you found?” Ms. Chen asked, her voice trembling with 43 . I shook my head. She turned her screen towards me. “This is a red-crowned crane. Fewer than 2,000 44 in the wild. Scientists thought they no longer visited this area. You proved them wrong.” Deeply touched yet 45 , I asked what I ought to do. She replied softly, “Protect it.” I hesitated, explaining that as a student, I lacked the ability to 46 . She gently responded, “You have already noticed this creature. That is where it all begins.” I began visiting the wetlands every weekend, not just to take photos, but to 47 their behavior and learn their living patterns. The process required patience and was often 48 . For a long time, there was no sign of them. Yet one morning, I saw them come back. I came to realize that conservation is not about grand 49 , but about small, consistent efforts. We do not need to be experts. We only need to be 50 . Looking back, every small act of 51 for the cranes, every step I took to protect their home — it all 52 . The next spring, the cranes appeared 53 at the protected site. Often, an old man would also be there, watching the cranes. He approached me. “Seeing your efforts has made me 54 ,” he said, “I used to just walk by. Now I bring a bag and pick up trash too.” I smiled, understanding what this meant: love for 55 passes on. 41．(1分)A．biology B．math C．music D．history 42．(1分)A．expected B．understood C．conveyed D．stated 43．(1分)A．worry B．fear C．excitement D．doubt 44．(1分)A．starve B．resist C．hunt D．remain 45．(1分)A．confident B．grateful C．uncertain D．patient 46．(1分)A．make a decision B．make a difference C．make a model D．make a mess 47．(1分)A．question B．repeat C．report D．observe 48．(1分)A．challenging B．relaxing C．comfortable D．flexible 49．(1分)A．speeches B．sources C．occasions D．designs 50．(1分)A．selfish B．modest C．proud D．devoted 51．(1分)A．pity B．care C．shock D．sharing 52．(1分)A．gave up B．turned up C．got up D．added up 53．(1分)A．suddenly B．fortunately C．regularly D．sincerely 54．(1分)A．stop B．change C．wait D．manage 55．(1分)A．society B．future C．nature D．family 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。 When we think of trees, we often picture their beauty — the lush green leaves in spring or the brilliant colors of autumn. But trees are much more than just a pretty sight; they are vital organs of our planet, playing 56(1.5分) crucial role in maintaining a healthy environment, which is the very purpose of celebrating Arbor Day. One of the most important functions of trees is their ability 57(1.5分) (act) as the “lungs of the earth”. Through the process of photosynthesis, they absorb carbon dioxide — a primary greenhouse gas — and release life-giving oxygen. By 58(1.5分) (store) carbon in their wood, leaves, and roots, trees help to regulate the global climate and slow down the pace of global warming. Beyond cleaning the air, forests serve as the world’s most effective water and soil conservation system. The roots of trees bind the soil together, preventing it from 59(1.5分) (wash) away by heavy rains. This process 60(1.5分) (significant) reduces the risk of soil erosion, landslides, and flooding. Furthermore, forests act like giant sponges. They absorb rainfall, replenish groundwater supplies, 61(1.5分) help ensure a steady flow of water in rivers and springs. Forests are also home 62(1.5分) more than 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity. They provide food, shelter, and breeding grounds for 63(1.5分) (count) species of animals, insects, and plants. In many ways, protecting forests 64(1.5分) (mean) protecting the intricate web of life on which we all depend. However, our forests face constant 65(1.5分) (threat) from deforestation. That’s why Arbor Day is not just about planting new trees; it’s about raising awareness of the critical role forests play in ensuring a sustainable future for all living things. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，最近你校计划开展“国家公园保护”主题教育活动，需收集国内外的优秀保护案例。你的英国朋友Leo曾多次参与国外的环保公益活动。请你给Leo写一封邮件，请他提供案例，内容包括： (1)写邮件的目的； (2)具体要求； (3)期待回复。 注意：(1)写作词数应为80个左右；(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Dear Leo, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yours, 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。 Every spring, a pair of lovely swallows (燕子) would fly back from the south and build a warm nest under the eaves (屋檐) of my house. Year after year, they returned faithfully as the spring wind blew. I have been observing them since I was a child, gradually growing familiar with these little visitors and enjoying the peaceful warmth they bring to my home. This spring, the swallows returned on schedule as usual. After days of hard work, they finished their nest, and soon four tiny swallow chicks hatched (孵化) inside. The newly-born chicks were almost featherless, weak and delicate, only able to open their tiny mouths wide, waiting eagerly for food all day long. The parent swallows devoted themselves to raising their babies, flying back and forth tirelessly between the yard and the woods to catch fresh insects. I often stood quietly under the eaves, watching this warm and harmonious scene, and deeply felt the pure beauty of life. However, an unexpected and heartbreaking thing happened. One rainy and windy afternoon, the sky suddenly turned dark, with strong winds blowing and heavy rain pouring down. The parent swallows flew out early in the morning to hunt for food but never came back. The violent wind swept through the whole yard, shaking the weak swallow nest constantly. Standing under the eaves, I stared at the nest anxiously, my heart filled with worry. The poor little chicks shook violently in the cold wet nest, chirping (叽叽喳喳) weakly and helplessly, waiting hopelessly for their parents who might never return. Seeing their shaky and miserable appearance, and fearing that they would not survive the cold and hunger, I made up my mind firmly to take on the responsibility of feeding and protecting these poor little creatures. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I quickly searched online for ways to feed young swallows and prepared tiny insects carefully. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks passed, and the little swallows finally grew strong enough to fly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 6 Nurturing Nature（较易版01）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What makes the man appreciate his dog?

The event includes activities of pet medication and training, and offers a number of recreational activities for pets, such as swimming and shows. For Adam Kilani, a visitor from neighboring Alexandria Governorate, the event was an unforgettable experience, as his five-year-old pet dog Gawaher had learnt to swim for the first time. “It is a great chance for me to learn about pet care in an amusing way,” Kilani said. “Holding such events, especially in tourist resorts during the summer, will significantly promote the culture of pet ownership in Egypt.” Lina Kamal, who brought her three-year-old dog to the carnival, said the event was important because it raised the issue of street animals and offered solutions to their sad situation. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Working to protect and restore Rock Creek Park The weed warrior program in Rock Creek Park is a volunteer program that assists the park with efforts to contain the spread of invasive (入侵的) plant species.

But Kyle Lybarger, born and raised in Alabama, has found unexpected Internet fame by introducing his followers to the overlooked world of southeastern plants. In an interview, Lybarger credits his success to stubbornness, to a positive energy he inherited from his late dad and, largely, to not worrying about what others think. “I was a deer hunter, forester, a man posting about flowers,” he says. “You have to really care the least about what people think of you to do that.” About a decade ago, Lybarger cleared a small area of land in a forest to grow plants whose fruits would attract deer and wild turkeys. He even applied some herbicide (除草剂) and cut down the surrounding trees to let in more light. The next summer, he found the additional sunlight brought a beautiful surprise: an amazing variety of wild flowers. After he posted the flowers on Facebook, a local botanist and science teacher got in touch, confirming some rare and vulnerable species, such as Alabama larkspur. Lybarger suddenly realized that the grassland he had killed was ideal for attracting wildlife itself. This experience inspired him to dive into a body of research indicating that historically the Southeast was home to expansive grasslands as well as those wild flowers. It was then that Lybarger found his mission: to save the remaining grasslands and flora. Together with a botanist from Auburn University, he appealed on all the major social media platforms to forest owners and farmers to stop mowing (修剪草坪) and using herbicides. In 2023 he partnered with an artist to design a T-shirt featuring the rare plants, hoping to raise public awareness and help pay for conservation. The project ended up raising over $100,000 in less than a year, most of which went to his conservation efforts. “My biggest contribution comes through education on social media, influencing people to grow the native plants that best support declining pollinators (授粉昆虫) and other insects,” he says, “One person, one yard, one-tenth of an acre can make a bigger difference than you think.” 24．(2.5分)According to Lybarger, he mainly owes his success to ________. A．his enthusiasm about native plants B．the development of internet industry C．the spiritual support from his late dad D．his freedom from others’ judgement 25．(2.5分)What led Lybarger to discover the value of the wild flowers? A．His being brought up in Alabama. B．His being a sociable forester. C．His working experience as a hunter. D．The feedback from a local botanist. 26．(2.5分)Why does the writer mention the money in paragraph 4? A．To indicate the difficulty of their project. B．To show the artistic value of their design. C．To prove the success of the project. D．To explain the ambition of his team. 27．(2.5分)What message does Lybarger want to convey in the last paragraph? A．Virtue is its own reward. B．Many drops make a shower. C．Roses given, fragrance in hand. D．Wisdom begins with admitting your ignorance. 【答案】24．D 25．D 26．C 27．B 【导语】主要讲述网红凯尔·莱巴格通过社交媒体科普本土野生植物，投身草原与植物保护事业的经历与感悟。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In an interview, Lybarger credits his success to stubbornness, to a positive energy he inherited from his late dad and, largely, to not worrying about what others think.(在一次采访中，莱巴格将自己的成功归功于执着、从已故父亲那里继承的积极心态，并且很大程度上归功于不在意别人的看法。)”可知，他认为自己成功主要在于不受他人评价的束缚。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“After he posted the flowers on Facebook, a local botanist and science teacher got in touch, confirming some rare and vulnerable species, such as Alabama larkspur.(他把这些花发布到脸书后，当地一位植物学家兼科学老师联系了他，确认了一些稀有濒危物种，例如阿拉巴马飞燕草。)”可知，当地植物学家给出的反馈让他发现了野花的价值。 26．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The project ended up raising over $100,000 in less than a year, most of which went to his conservation efforts.(该项目最终在不到一年的时间筹集超过10万美元，其中大部分资金用于他的保护工作。)”可知，作者列举筹集到的款项，是为了证明该项目取得了成功。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“One person, one yard, one‑tenth of an acre can make a bigger difference than you think.(一个人、一个庭院、十分之一英亩土地所能带来的改变会超出你的想象。)”可知，他想表达个体微小力量汇聚起来可以产生巨大作用，对应“滴水汇成大雨（积少成多）”。 （本题10分）Oysters (牡蛎) are called “ecosystem engineers”. They build reefs (礁) using living oysters and shells left by past generations. As important parts of ocean environments, oyster reefs offer shelters for hundreds of sea creatures and keep the natural balance of sea waters. Unfortunately, fishing activities and coastal development have caused severe damage, and around 85 percent of oyster reefs across Australia have disappeared so far. To save the fading reefs, researchers have been working hard to create man-made habitats for oysters. They first studied natural oyster reefs carefully and made an important discovery: natural reefs are not just random piles of shells, but well-organized three-dimensional (三维的) structures. The shape of a reef plays a key role in the survival of sea life and the growth speed of the reef itself. To figure out whether this rule can work in man-made reefs, the researchers used 3D imaging technology to examine surviving Sydney rock oyster reefs. Based on the collected data, they built computer models and designed 16 types of concrete units with different heights and shapes. These units were placed in three bays near natural reefs. For a long time, the team kept tracking young oysters to record their settlement, growth and survival conditions. The final results showed that the most effective designs were neither the tallest nor the most difficult ones. The best structures copied features of natural reefs, offering plenty of small hidden spaces. These spaces could protect baby oysters from natural enemies and bad environmental influences. Although total surface area matters, young oysters are tiny and easily affected by outside threats. It is meaningless to attract large numbers of young oysters if the reef cannot keep them alive. This research brings practical advice for the recovery of global oyster reefs. Professor Joshua Madin points out that nature has created perfect designs for reefs. People just need to learn these natural rules and put them into use, so that oyster reefs can grow better and last longer. 28．(2.5分)Why are oysters called “ecosystem engineers”? A．They control reef growth speed. B．They help shape coastal habitats. C．They balance the climate of the sea. D．They show many different kinds of sea life. 29．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the scientists’ research in Paragraph 3? A．To compare different kinds of wild oysters in Australia. B．To improve the 3D imaging technology for sea research. C．To find out if the reef structure really works as expected. D．To record the total number of oysters in three nearby bays. 30．(2.5分)What did the best design of oyster reefs feature? A．Many difficult designs. B．Fully closed structures. C．Widely spaced structures. D．Plenty of small sheltered spaces. 31．(2.5分)What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A．Destroyed oyster reefs are difficult to rebuild. B．Man-made reefs can fully replace natural ones. C．The recovery of reefs depends on new technical ways. D．Nature gives us a good example for the recovery of oyster reefs. 【答案】28．B 29．C 30．D 31．D 【导语】文章介绍了牡蛎被称作“生态系统工程师”的原因，澳大利亚牡蛎礁遭到严重破坏，科研人员仿照天然牡蛎礁结构设计人工礁石，并证实模仿自然构造是修复牡蛎礁的最佳方案，为全球牡蛎礁修复提供借鉴。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段“They build reefs (礁) using living oysters and shells left by past generations. As important parts of ocean environments, oyster reefs offer shelters for hundreds of sea creatures and keep the natural balance of sea waters.(它们利用活体牡蛎与历代遗留贝壳构筑礁石。作为海洋环境的重要部分，牡蛎礁为数百种海洋生物提供栖息场所，维持海域生态平衡。)”可知，牡蛎打造海洋生物栖息地、塑造海岸生存环境，因此被叫做生态工程师。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段“The shape of a reef plays a key role in the survival of sea life and the growth speed of the reef itself. To figure out whether this rule can work in man-made reefs, the researchers used 3D imaging technology to examine surviving Sydney rock oyster reefs.(礁石的形状对于海洋生物的存活以及礁石自身的生长速度起着至关重要的作用。为了弄清这一规律是否能在人工礁石中发挥作用，研究人员使用三维成像技术勘测现存悉尼岩牡蛎礁。)”可知，本段研究的主要目的是验证礁石结构规律能否达到预期效果。 30．细节理解题。根据第四段“The best structures copied features of natural reefs, offering plenty of small hidden spaces.(最优结构复刻了天然礁石特点，拥有大量隐蔽的小型空间。)”可知，最佳礁石设计的特点是大量可供躲藏的狭小空间。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Professor Joshua Madin points out that nature has created perfect designs for reefs. People just need to learn these natural rules and put them into use, so that oyster reefs can grow better and last longer.(Joshua Madin教授指出，大自然早已演化出礁石的完美构造。人类只需要学习并运用这些自然规律，从而让牡蛎礁长势更佳、存续更久。)”可知，大自然为修复牡蛎礁提供了绝佳范本。 （本题10分）Hidden in the Mianhua Sinkhole (天坑) of Luocheng, Hechi City, Guangxi, lies a one-of-a-kind cliff-side (崖边) bookstore. This 326-meter-deep sinkhole, once only an unknown natural wonder, has now transformed into a site combining wonderful natural surroundings with a unique reading experience and thus attracting visitors from both home and abroad. The inspiration for this bookstore came to founder He Zhijian two years ago during a visit to an overseas bookstore, and his ideas were later further enriched by visiting Hangzhou’s Tsutaya Books. The result is an open-air cliff-side space filled with over 10,000 books, creating a 10-meter-high, 150-meter-long “canyon (峡谷) of knowledge”. One of the bookstore’s unique features is its natural protection from the elements: no matter how strong the wind or heavy the rain, the space never gets wet, as the sinkhole acts as a natural shelter (遮蔽), protecting the books and reading area perfectly. The construction of the bookstore is in perfect harmony with the natural landscape, with environmental protection as a top focus. Original rock formations have been carefully protected. At the sinkhole bottom, except for a raised walkway winding through wild banana plants, the area remains completely untouched, showing great respect for nature and efforts to maintain environmental balance. Mianhua Village, where the bookstore is located, was once cut off by mountains. A significant change took place when this project was started. “We thought it was a great pity that the county’s fascinating natural landscapes were hidden deep in the mountains, unknown to the outside world,” said the project planners. “That was why we decided to develop the scenic spot that combines nature with culture — aiming to attract more visitors and, in turn, improve local residents’ lives through tourism development.” 32．(2.5分)What inspired the founder’s design? A．Trips to bookstores home and abroad. B．The natural view of mountain villages. C．Advice from professional designers. D．Deep research on local ancient culture. 33．(2.5分)How does the sinkhole itself contribute to the bookstore? A．It protects the original rock formations perfectly. B．It provides the rock walls for the bookshelves. C．It blocks noise to create a quiet environment. D．It functions as a natural shelter against the weather. 34．(2.5分)What principle guided the construction? A．Balancing protection and development. B．Making efforts to serve local research work. C．Giving priority to cultural tourism project. D．Remaining environment completely untouched. 35．(2.5分)Why does the author write the text? A．To call on the public to protect the environment of sinkholes. B．To share the founder He Zhijian’s successful experience. C．To recommend a hidden natural wonder to tourists. D．To introduce a unique culture-nature combined tourism project. 【答案】32．A 33．D 34．A 35．D 【导语】文章主要介绍广西罗城棉花天坑中的崖边书店，讲述其设计特色、建设理念以及带动当地发展的作用。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The inspiration for this bookstore came to founder He Zhijian two years ago during a visit to an overseas bookstore, and his ideas were later further enriched by visiting Hangzhou’s Tsutaya Books.(创始人何志健两年前在参观一家海外书店时萌生了创办这家书店的灵感，之后他探访杭州茑屋书店，进一步丰富了自己的想法。)”可知，创始人的设计灵感来源于国内外书店的参观经历。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One of the bookstore’s unique features is its natural protection from the elements: no matter how strong the wind or heavy the rain, the space never gets wet, as the sinkhole acts as a natural shelter (遮蔽), protecting the books and reading area perfectly.(这家书店的一大特色是天然的防护屏障：无论风多大、雨多猛，店内空间都不会受潮，因为这个天坑本身就是天然遮蔽处，可以完好地保护书籍和阅读区域。)”可知，天坑可以作为天然遮蔽，帮书店抵御风雨等恶劣天气。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The construction of the bookstore is in perfect harmony with the natural landscape, with environmental protection as a top focus. Original rock formations have been carefully protected.(这家书店的建造与自然景观完美相融，环保是首要考量。原生岩层得到了悉心保护。)”可知，书店建设遵循兼顾生态保护与项目开发的原则。 35．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第五段中的“That was why we decided to develop the scenic spot that combines nature with culture — aiming to attract more visitors and, in turn, improve local residents’ lives through tourism development.(这就是我们决定打造这个融自然与文化于一体的景区的原因——旨在吸引更多游客，进而通过旅游业的发展改善当地居民的生活。)”可知，作者写作目的是介绍这个将文化和自然融为一体的特色旅游项目。 （本题12.5分）Mike, a devoted birdwatcher, begins the morning not with an alarm, but with the first chorus of dawn. His retreat is the quiet edge of the wetland, and his tool is an old telescope. 36(2.5分) A study confirms that birdwatching can boost happiness, reduce stress, and deepen one’s bond with nature more effectively than a simple walk in the park. This experience reflects the deeply rooted human connection to the natural world. Mike doesn’t just observe nature; he feels part of it. 37(2.5分) Researchers suggest that biodiversity itself functions as a kind of medicine, easing tension and inviting calm through its subtle complexity. 38(2.5分) When Mike is tracking a bird’s slow hunt or identifying a bird by its melody, he enters a state known as “flow”. Time slips away, replaced by focused curiosity and quiet engagement. This absorption emerges naturally, leaving him afterward with a gentle wave of satisfaction — a mental clarity that stays long after he lowers his telescope. What makes birdwatching uniquely effective, in Mike’s view, is its mix of passive immersion and active attention. Unlike a casual walk, it requires observation, identification, and subtle reasoning. 39(2.5分) For Mike, each morning spent among the reeds (芦苇) is more than a pastime. 40(2.5分) Here, he finds a conversation with the wild, and a proven support for mental well-being. With each new sighting, he doesn’t just add to his life list — he returns to his daily life a little lighter, a little clearer, reminded that sometimes, the best therapy comes on wings. A．It is a practice in mindfulness. B．This is just a pastime bringing him in the wild. C．The diversity of life in these habitats refreshes his mind. D．Birdwatching often causes Mike to be tense but fulfilled. E．Beyond this sense of connection lies a deeper psychological reward. F．Recently, science has begun to explain what Mike has felt for years. G．These actions keep him in the present, turning a hobby into deep focus. 【答案】36．F 37．C 38．E 39．G 40．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了观鸟这项爱好对人的心理益处。 【详解】36．上文“Mike, a devoted birdwatcher, begins the morning not with an alarm, but with the first chorus of dawn.

She turned her screen towards me. “This is a red-crowned crane. Fewer than 2,000 44 in the wild. Scientists thought they no longer visited this area. You proved them wrong.” Deeply touched yet 45 , I asked what I ought to do. She replied softly, “Protect it.” I hesitated, explaining that as a student, I lacked the ability to 46 . She gently responded, “You have already noticed this creature. That is where it all begins.” I began visiting the wetlands every weekend, not just to take photos, but to 47 their behavior and learn their living patterns. The process required patience and was often 48 . For a long time, there was no sign of them. Yet one morning, I saw them come back. I came to realize that conservation is not about grand 49 , but about small, consistent efforts. We do not need to be experts. We only need to be 50 . Looking back, every small act of 51 for the cranes, every step I took to protect their home — it all 52 . The next spring, the cranes appeared 53 at the protected site. Often, an old man would also be there, watching the cranes. He approached me. “Seeing your efforts has made me 54 ,” he said, “I used to just walk by. Now I bring a bag and pick up trash too.” I smiled, understanding what this meant: love for 55 passes on. 41．(1分)A．biology B．math C．music D．history 42．(1分)A．expected B．understood C．conveyed D．stated 43．(1分)A．worry B．fear C．excitement D．doubt 44．(1分)A．starve B．resist C．hunt D．remain 45．(1分)A．confident B．grateful C．uncertain D．patient 46．(1分)A．make a decision B．make a difference C．make a model D．make a mess 47．(1分)A．question B．repeat C．report D．observe 48．(1分)A．challenging B．relaxing C．comfortable D．flexible 49．(1分)A．speeches B．sources C．occasions D．designs 50．(1分)A．selfish B．modest C．proud D．devoted 51．(1分)A．pity B．care C．shock D．sharing 52．(1分)A．gave up B．turned up C．got up D．added up 53．(1分)A．suddenly B．fortunately C．regularly D．sincerely 54．(1分)A．stop B．change C．wait D．manage 55．(1分)A．society B．future C．nature D．family 【答案】 41．A 42．A 43．C 44．D 45．C 46．B 47．D 48．A 49．A 50．D 51．B 52．D 53．C 54．B 55．C 【导语】作者偶然拍到丹顶鹤，投身湿地保护，明白保护重在点滴坚持，自己的行动也带动他人，让对自然的热爱得以传递。 【详解】41．考查名词。句意：三天后，我的生物老师把我叫了进去。A. biology生物；B. math数学；C. music音乐；D. history历史。根据后文第二段“This is a red‑crowned crane.

One of the most important functions of trees is their ability 57(1.5分) (act) as the “lungs of the earth”. Through the process of photosynthesis, they absorb carbon dioxide — a primary greenhouse gas — and release life-giving oxygen. By 58(1.5分) (store) carbon in their wood, leaves, and roots, trees help to regulate the global climate and slow down the pace of global warming. Beyond cleaning the air, forests serve as the world’s most effective water and soil conservation system. The roots of trees bind the soil together, preventing it from 59(1.5分) (wash) away by heavy rains. This process 60(1.5分) (significant) reduces the risk of soil erosion, landslides, and flooding. Furthermore, forests act like giant sponges. They absorb rainfall, replenish groundwater supplies, 61(1.5分) help ensure a steady flow of water in rivers and springs. Forests are also home 62(1.5分) more than 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity. They provide food, shelter, and breeding grounds for 63(1.5分) (count) species of animals, insects, and plants. In many ways, protecting forests 64(1.5分) (mean) protecting the intricate web of life on which we all depend. However, our forests face constant 65(1.5分) (threat) from deforestation. That’s why Arbor Day is not just about planting new trees; it’s about raising awareness of the critical role forests play in ensuring a sustainable future for all living things. 【答案】 56．a 57．to act 58．storing 59．being washed 60．significantly 61．and 62．to 63．countless 64．means 65．threats 【导语】文章主要讲述了树木在净化空气、保持水土、维护生物多样性等方面的重要作用及面临的威胁，强调植树节的意义。 【详解】56．考查冠词。句意：但树木不仅仅是漂亮的景色；它们是我们星球的重要器官，在维持健康环境方面发挥着至关重要的作用，这也是庆祝植树节的初衷。固定搭配play a crucial role in意为“在……中发挥至关重要的作用”，crucial以辅音音素开头，故填不定冠词a。 57．考查非谓语动词。句意：树木最重要的功能之一是它们充当“地球之肺”的能力。空处需用非谓语动词，名词ability后常接不定式作后置定语。 58．考查非谓语动词。句意：通过将碳储存在木材、树叶和根部，树木有助于调节全球气候并减缓全球变暖的步伐。空处位于介词by之后，需用动词store“储存”的动名词storing作宾语。 59．考查非谓语动词。句意：树根将土壤捆绑在一起，防止其被大雨冲走。空处位于介词from之后，需用动名词；逻辑主语it（指代the soil）与wash away“冲走”之间为被动关系，故用动名词的被动形式being washed作宾语。 60．考查副词。句意：这个过程显著降低了土壤侵蚀、山体滑坡和洪水的风险。空处需用副词significantly“显著地”修饰动词reduces，作状语。 61．考查连词。句意：它们吸收降雨，补充地下水供应，并有助于确保河流和泉水的水流稳定。空处需用连词，连接三个并列的谓语动词absorb、replenish和help，用并列连词and。 62．考查介词。句意：森林也是世界上超过80%的陆地生物多样性的家园。固定搭配be home to意为“是……的家园”。 63．考查形容词。句意：它们为无数的动物、昆虫和植物物种提供食物、住所和繁殖地。空处需用形容词countless“无数的”修饰名词species，作定语。 64．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：在许多方面，保护森林意味着保护我们所有人都依赖的错综复杂的生命网络。陈述客观事实用一般现在时，动名词短语protecting forests作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式means。 65．考查名词复数。句意：然而，我们的森林正面临来自森林砍伐的持续威胁。空处需用名词，threat为可数名词，此处泛指“各种威胁”，用复数形式threats。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，最近你校计划开展“国家公园保护”主题教育活动，需收集国内外的优秀保护案例。你的英国朋友Leo曾多次参与国外的环保公益活动。请你给Leo写一封邮件，请他提供案例，内容包括： (1)写邮件的目的； (2)具体要求； (3)期待回复。 注意：(1)写作词数应为80个左右；(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Dear Leo, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Leo,     Knowing that you have taken part in many environmental protection activities abroad, I’m writing to ask you for a favor.

Year after year, they returned faithfully as the spring wind blew. I have been observing them since I was a child, gradually growing familiar with these little visitors and enjoying the peaceful warmth they bring to my home. This spring, the swallows returned on schedule as usual. After days of hard work, they finished their nest, and soon four tiny swallow chicks hatched (孵化) inside. The newly-born chicks were almost featherless, weak and delicate, only able to open their tiny mouths wide, waiting eagerly for food all day long. The parent swallows devoted themselves to raising their babies, flying back and forth tirelessly between the yard and the woods to catch fresh insects. I often stood quietly under the eaves, watching this warm and harmonious scene, and deeply felt the pure beauty of life. However, an unexpected and heartbreaking thing happened. One rainy and windy afternoon, the sky suddenly turned dark, with strong winds blowing and heavy rain pouring down. The parent swallows flew out early in the morning to hunt for food but never came back. The violent wind swept through the whole yard, shaking the weak swallow nest constantly. Standing under the eaves, I stared at the nest anxiously, my heart filled with worry. The poor little chicks shook violently in the cold wet nest, chirping (叽叽喳喳) weakly and helplessly, waiting hopelessly for their parents who might never return. Seeing their shaky and miserable appearance, and fearing that they would not survive the cold and hunger, I made up my mind firmly to take on the responsibility of feeding and protecting these poor little creatures. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I quickly searched online for ways to feed young swallows and prepared tiny insects carefully. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks passed, and the little swallows finally grew strong enough to fly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I quickly searched online for ways to feed young swallows and prepared tiny insects carefully. To avoid scaring the little chicks, I stood gently under the eaves and stretched out my hand to feed them one by one. At first, they were hesitant to open their mouths. Gradually, they got used to my gentle care and would chirp happily when they saw me coming. Every day, I stuck to feeding them on time and protected the nest from wind and rain. Witnessing the weak little creatures grow stronger and grow new feathers day by day, I was filled with a sense of accomplishment. Weeks passed, and the little swallows finally grew strong enough to fly. They began to practice flying around my yard, sometimes resting on the windowsill and singing cheerful songs to me. When autumn came, following their inborn impulse, they were ready to migrate south. Before leaving, they circled over my house several times, as if expressing gratitude. Year after year, I keep waiting under the eaves. This warm experience teaches me that every life deserves kindness and protection, and sincere companionship always leaves warm memories. 【导语】作者以多年来对每年春天如期归来的家燕的日常观察为情感铺垫，记录了今年燕子夫妇筑巢育雏的温馨日常，却在一场风雨突降的意外中遭遇亲鸟外出觅食未归的变故，最终作者下定决心主动承担起喂养、保护失去双亲的雏燕的责任。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者救助并照顾幼燕，看着它们慢慢长大的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写小燕子学会飞翔后，秋天本能地南迁，离别前盘旋致谢以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：查找照顾方法——悉心照料幼燕——小燕子茁壮成长——练习飞行——准备动身飞往南方——感谢作者——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①避免：avoid/refrain from ②习惯于：get used to/get accustomed to 情绪类 ①高兴地：happily/cheerfully ②感谢：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1] Witnessing the weak little creatures grow stronger and grow new feathers day by day, I was filled with a sense of accomplishment.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] This warm experience teaches me that every life deserves kindness and protection, and sincere companionship always leaves warm memories.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 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 $
