Truly one of a kind, the Trevor Zoo at Millbrook School is the only zoo in the nation accredited (认证) by Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and run by a high school. This is where Alan Tousignant began his career in zoology and conservation (保护). Tousignant was ready to study biology and apply to a program for veterinarians (兽医), but he didn’t live up to the requirement of mathematics and had to give up that dream. During a fieldwork experience, however, he learned about an opening for an internship (实习) at the Millbrook School’s Trevor Zoo. His work at the zoo has caused him to develop a lifelong interest and career in exhibiting non-native animals and working with others in the field of conservation. The Trevor Zoo, established in 1936, is small compared to many well-known zoos. As a consequence, Tousignant says, “We all wear a lot of hats.” But the wide range of tasks on the job is exactly what’s kept him around for all these years. The role of organizer — helping to shape the big-picture purposes and goals for the zoo — comes easily to Tousignant, but he says he appreciates the hands-on time he spends working with the animals and designing exhibits. Working with students and observing the impact of the zoo program on their early learning experiences has been inspiring to Tousignant, who says the value of an on-campus zoo creates many opportunities to catch students’ imaginations and stimulate their curiosity about science and conservation. One living, breathing example is Millbrook alumnus (校友), Thomas Lovejoy, PhD, today a senior expert and a professor of environmental science and policy at George Mason University in Virginia. Lovejoy’s experience working at the Trevor Zoo during high school inspired a lifelong career devoted to conservation. 24．(2.5分)What is special about the Trevor Zoo among AZA-accredited zoos? A．It has multiple wildlife species. B．It belongs to a private organization. C．It lies in the center of Millbrook. D．It is operated by a high school. 25．(2.5分)What led to Tousignant’s career interest? A．Animal research. B．Zoo internship. C．Math requirement. D．Biology study. 26．(2.5分)What does the underlined phrase “wear a lot of hats” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Take on various roles. B．Make the most of strengths. C．Work with many partners. D．Have a large collection of hats. 27．(2.5分)Why is Thomas Lovejoy mentioned in the last paragraph? A．To attract more students to visit zoos. B．To prove the popularity of conservation. C．To introduce a famous university professor. D．To show the Trevor Zoo’s influence on students. 【答案】24．D 25．B 26．A 27．D 【导语】主要介绍米尔布鲁克学校特雷弗动物园的独特之处，讲述艾伦的从业经历以及该动物园对学生环保理念带来的深远影响。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Truly one of a kind, the Trevor Zoo at Millbrook School is the only zoo in the nation accredited (认证) by Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and run by a high school.(米尔布鲁克学校的特雷弗动物园独一无二，它是全国唯一获得动物园与水族馆协会认证、由一所高中运营的动物园。)”可知，特雷弗动物园的特殊之处在于由一所高中运营。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“During a fieldwork experience, however, he learned about an opening for an internship (实习) at the Millbrook School’s Trevor Zoo. His work at the zoo has caused him to develop a lifelong interest and career in exhibiting non-native animals and working with others in the field of conservation.(然而在一次实地调研过程中，他得知米尔布鲁克学校特雷弗动物园有一个实习岗位空缺。在动物园的工作经历，让他终身热爱并投身于外来动物饲养展示，同时与同行一起从事动物保护相关工作。)”可知，动物园实习经历催生了图西尼昂的职业兴趣。 26．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The Trevor Zoo, established in 1936, is small compared to many well-known zoos. As a consequence, Tousignant says, “We all wear a lot of hats.” But the wide range of tasks on the job is exactly what’s kept him around for all these years.(特雷弗动物园建于1936年，相比许多知名动物园，它规模很小。因此图西尼昂说：“我们每个人都wear a lot of hats。”但工作中多种多样的任务正是让他多年留在这里的原因。)”可知，动物园规模小，工作人员需要承担各类不同工作，因此，短语“wear a lot of hats”表示承担多种工作角色。 27．推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Lovejoy’s experience working at the Trevor Zoo during high school inspired a lifelong career devoted to conservation.(洛夫乔伊高中时期在特雷弗动物园的工作经历，促使他终身投身于动物保护事业。)”可知，作者列举洛夫乔伊的事例，是为了体现特雷弗动物园对学生产生的深远影响。 （本题10分）Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique. The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred. One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物). The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.” 28．(2.5分)What does the new study focus on? A．The origin of human language. B．Sound-shape connections in chicks. C．Animals’ recognition of shapes. D．Brain-behavior relationships of birds. 29．(2.5分)In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds? A．Sound localization. B．Reaction speed. C．Exploration preference. D．Matching accuracy. 30．(2.5分)What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect? A．Its historical context. B．Its potential application. C．Its overlooked limitation. D．Its possible explanation. 31．(2.5分)What does Loconsole say about the effect? A．It originated in birds. B．It shows evolutionary tendency. C．It’s shared across species. D．It’s vital to language emergence. 【答案】28．B 29．C 30．D 31．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了“bouba-kiki”效应，即人们会将“bouba”与圆润形状、“kiki”与尖锐形状联系起来；一项新研究发现雏鸡也存在这种音形关联现象，并提出该效应可能源于物体物理属性，同时说明这种能力并非人类独有。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段“But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.(但发表在《科学》杂志上的一项新研究有了意外发现：雏鸡也会做出同样的配对，这表明这种与人类语言的关联可能并非人类独有。)”以及第二段对雏鸡实验的描述可知，这项新研究关注的是雏鸡身上的声音与形状的关联。故选B。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“When the chicks heard ‘bouba,’ 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard ‘kiki,’ the opposite occurred.(当雏鸡听到‘bouba’时，80%会先靠近圆润形状，平均花三分多钟探索它，而探索尖锐形状的时间平均不到一分钟。听到‘kiki’时则相反。)”可知，雏鸡对两种声音的不同反应体现在探索偏好上。故选C。 30．主旨大意题。根据第三段“One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves.(一种长期存在的理论认为，这些关联是由你说每个单词时嘴巴的形状引起的，现在可以排除这种说法，因为小鸡尽管不会说话，但还是表现出了这种效果。相反，“bouba-kiki”效应可能源于物体本身的物理特性。)”可知，本段主要是对该效应产生的原因给出可能的解释。故选D。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段““Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”(洛康索莱说：“即使语言是人类独有的，这也并不意味着它源自一种人类独有的能力。”)”可知，她认为这种音形关联能力在不同物种间是共有的。故选C。 （本题10分）Greenland sharks, the mysterious giants lying low in the deep, cold waters of the Arctic and North Atlantic, are known for their extraordinarily long life — some can live for over 400 years. Scientists have long wondered how these creatures manage to outlive all other vertebrates (脊椎动物). Through a series of studies, they desire to reveal the secrets behind their long life. Lily Fogg, a biologist at the University of Basel in Switzerland, and her team focused on the sharks’ eyes. Examining tissue from ten Greenland sharks, including some up to 150 years old, they found that these animals possess all the necessary cellular structures for vision in the deep sea’s dim light. Surprisingly, the eye tissue showed little sign of aging. Fogg suggests this may be due to highly active DNA repair mechanisms that prevent cell death and tissue degeneration. A separate study of the sharks’ sets of genes also pointed to enhanced DNA repair functions. However, not all organs benefit from such protection. Alessandro Cellerino, an Italian physiologist, led a study on the sharks’ hearts. Examining six Greenland sharks, his team discovered that their hearts accumulate tough scars and cellular damage over time. In humans, similar scarring would indicate cardiovascular disease, hardening the heart and reducing its pumping efficiency. Yet, despite this damage, the sharks’ hearts continue to function effectively. Researchers suspect that protective hormones may help their hearts stand up to some age-related injuries. Catherine Macdonald, an ecologist at the University of Miami, finds these findings fascinating. She notes that any animal with such a long lifetime must possess both repair and maintenance abilities. While studying living Greenland sharks is difficult owing to their deep-sea habitat — they can dive to 2,200 meters, Macdonald believes that understanding their long life can offer valuable insights into human aging. However, she cautions against drawing quick conclusions on human health, emphasizing that these discoveries are just the beginning of a much longer scientific journey. 32．(2.5分)What is the scientists’ attitude to Greenland sharks’ long life? A．Shocked. B．Curious. C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent. 33．(2.5分)What can be inferred about Greenland sharks’ hearts? A．They stop functioning at an old age. B．They age faster than their eyes. C．They are free of age-related injuries. D．They can repair damage thoroughly. 34．(2.5分)What does Macdonald think of the findings? A．They are difficult to understand. B．They lack corresponding evidence. C．They offer conclusions on human health. D．They are invaluable for further study. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．How Greenland Sharks Resist Aging B．How Greenland Sharks Live in the Sea C．How Greenland Sharks Get Genetic Protection D．How Greenland Sharks Keep Healthy for Long 【答案】32．B 33．B 34．D 35．A 【导语】文章主要介绍了科学家开展一系列研究探索格陵兰鲨远超其他脊椎动物的长寿和抗衰机制。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Scientists have long wondered how these creatures manage to outlive all other vertebrates (脊椎动物). Through a series of studies, they desire to reveal the secrets behind their long life.(科学家长期以来一直想知道，这些生物是如何比其他所有脊椎动物活得更久的。通过一系列研究，他们希望揭开其长寿背后的秘密)”可知，科学家主动开展系列研究探索长寿秘密，对此持好奇的态度。 33．推理判断题。第二段中“Surprisingly, the eye tissue showed little sign of aging.(令人惊讶的是，眼组织几乎没有表现出衰老迹象)”指出格陵兰鲨的眼组织几乎没有衰老迹象，第三段中“However, not all organs benefit from such protection.(然而，并非所有器官都能获得这种保护)”和“Examining six Greenland sharks, his team discovered that their hearts accumulate tough scars and cellular damage over time. (研究小组对六只格陵兰鲨进行观察后发现，它们的心脏会随着时间推移积累坚硬的疤痕和细胞损伤)”提到并非所有器官都有这种保护，心脏会随时间积累疤痕和细胞损伤，由此可推知心脏的衰老速度比眼睛快。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While studying living Greenland sharks is difficult owing to their deep-sea habitat — they can dive to 2,200 meters, Macdonald believes that understanding their long life can offer valuable insights into human aging. However, she cautions against drawing quick conclusions on human health, emphasizing that these discoveries are just the beginning of a much longer scientific journey.(虽然由于格陵兰鲨生活在深海环境，研究活体格陵兰鲨十分困难——它们可潜至2200米深，但Macdonald认为，了解它们长寿的机制有助于为人类衰老问题提供宝贵见解。不过，她也提醒不要轻易将这些发现用于判断人类健康状况，并强调这些成果只是漫长科学探索旅程的开端)”可知，Macdonald表示了解格陵兰鲨长寿的机制有助于为人类衰老问题提供宝贵见解，指出这些发现是漫长科研旅程的开端，说明这些发现对后续研究极具价值。 35．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Scientists have long wondered how these creatures manage to outlive all other vertebrates (脊椎动物). Through a series of studies, they desire to reveal the secrets behind their long life.(科学家长期以来一直想知道，这些生物是如何比其他所有脊椎动物活得更久的。通过一系列研究，他们希望揭开其长寿背后的秘密)”可知，全文围绕科学家探索格陵兰鲨远超其他脊椎动物的长寿、抗衰机制展开：既介绍了眼组织的DNA修复抗衰特点，也说明了心脏应对衰老损伤的特殊机制，核心主题是格陵兰鲨的抗衰原理，A项“格陵兰鲨如何抵抗衰老”为最佳标题。 （本题12.5分）Ways You Can Help Protect Wildlife Wildlife is important to keeping ecological balance, and a world where it exists only in history books and on dinner plates is not one we should desire.

She has 41 more than 10,000 animals from abuse and abandonment so far. In 1971, Barby Keel’s tale of caring for animals started when a soldier asked her to 42 his dog while he was stationed in Northern Ireland. This small act was the 43 of her passion for animals. There were just three animals in her 44 when she founded the Barby Keel Animal Sanctuary (避难所) in 1979. More than 600 animals, including dogs and cats, now call the sanctuary 45 . Given her current 46 , Keel relies on volunteers to take care of all the animals. “I know I’m getting older, so I know my 47 ,” she said. “I don’t 48 the big animals anymore, but I still get up every morning to see them all.” Most of the animals live 49 on the 12-acre sanctuary. Keel and her staff take pride in their no-kill   50 . She uses her pension (退休金) to 51 a lot of costs, but after spending time with the animals, visitors can visit the sanctuary’s café and gift shop. “It is 52 , but if it generates 53 for the animals, then that’s the main goal,” Keel said. “Some days I am completely 54 — it’s hard work,” Keel says. “But then I get a little nose ‘boop’ (噗) or a face looks up at me, and I 55 why I’m doing this.” 41．(1分)A．bought B．chosen C．rescued D．defended 42．(1分)A．watch B．treat C．deliver D．avoid 43．(1分)A．result B．origin C．point D．proof 44．(1分)A．yard B．care C．view D．reach 45．(1分)A．name B．victory C．duty D．home 46．(1分)A．status B．power C．job D．age 47．(1分)A．identity B．interactions C．limitations D．interest 48．(1分)A．deal with B．rely on C．pick up D．come across 49．(1分)A．regularly B．permanently C．entirely D．initially 50．(1分)A．policy B．project C．level D．method 51．(1分)A．cut B．check C．restrict D．cover 52．(1分)A．exciting B．exhausting C．amusing D．rewarding 53．(1分)A．profits B．tricks C．dreams D．images 54．(1分)A．left out B．knocked out C．worn out D．worked out 55．(1分)A．wonder B．doubt C．remember D．predict 【答案】 41．C 42．A 43．B 44．B 45．D 46．D 47．C 48．A 49．B 50．A 51．D 52．B 53．A 54．C 55．C 【导语】主要讲述了一位90岁的英国女性巴比·基尔，她将大半辈子奉献给救助动物的事业，从1971年照顾一只士兵的狗开始，到1979年创办动物避难所，至今已拯救了超过10000只动物，虽年事已高但仍坚持，靠退休金和游客消费维持运营，虽辛苦但因动物的互动而坚定信念。 【详解】41．考查动词。句意：到目前为止，她已经从虐待和遗弃中拯救了超过10000只动物。A. bought购买；B. chosen选择；C. rescued拯救；D. defended保卫。根据前文“A 90-year-old British woman has dedicated more than half of her life to saving animals of all types.”可知，这位女士是拯救动物。 42．考查动词。句意：1971年，巴比·基尔照顾动物的故事开始于一名士兵请求她在他驻扎在北爱尔兰期间照顾他的狗。A. watch照看；B. treat治疗；C. deliver递送；D. avoid避免。根据后文“his dog while he was stationed in Northern Ireland.”以及“take care of”可知，这里指士兵请求她照看他的狗。 43．考查名词。句意：这个小小的举动是她对动物热情的起源。A. result结果；B. origin起源；C. point要点；D. proof证据。根据前文“In 1971, Barby Keel’s tale of caring for animals started”可知，照顾士兵的狗是她对动物热情的起源。 44．考查名词。句意：1979年她创办巴比·基尔动物避难所时，她照顾的动物只有三只。A. yard院子；B. care照顾；C. view视野；D. reach范围。根据后文“she founded the Barby Keel Animal Sanctuary (避难所) in 1979”可知，这里指在她照顾下的动物，in one's care“在某人的照顾下”。 45．考查名词。句意：现在，包括狗和猫在内的600多只动物把这个避难所当作它们的家。A. name名字；B. victory胜利；C. duty职责；D. home家。根据前文“the Barby Keel Animal Sanctuary (避难所)”可知，动物避难所是动物们的。 46．考查名词。句意：鉴于她目前的年龄，基尔依靠志愿者来照顾所有的动物。A. status地位；B. power权力；C. job工作；D. age年龄。根据前文“A 90-year-old”提到她90岁，所以这里是鉴于她的年龄。 47．考查名词。句意：“我知道我年纪越来越大了，所以我知道自己的局限，”她说。A. identity身份；B. interactions互动；C. limitations局限；D. interest兴趣。根据前文“I know I’m getting older”可知，因为年纪大，所以知道自己有局限。 48．考查动词短语。句意：“我不再照顾大型动物，但我仍然每天早上起床去看望它们。”A. deal with照顾，与……打交道；B. rely on依靠；C. pick up捡起；D. come across偶然遇到。根据前文“I know I’m getting older”可知，这里指不再处理照顾大型动物的工作。 49．考查副词。句意：大多数动物永久地生活在这个12英亩的避难所里。A. regularly定期地；B. permanently永久地；C. entirely完全地；D. initially最初。根据后文“on the 12-acre sanctuary”可知，动物被拯救后，大多永久生活在避难所。 50．考查名词。句意：基尔和她的工作人员为他们的不杀生政策感到自豪。A. policy政策；B. project项目；C. level水平；D. method方法。结合语境，再根据前文“no-kill”可知，不杀生是一种政策。 51．考查动词。句意：她用自己的退休金支付很多费用，但游客在和动物相处后，可以参观避难所的咖啡馆和礼品店。A. cut削减；B. check检查；C. restrict限制；D. cover支付。根据前文“uses her pension (退休金)”以及后文“costs”可知，退休金被用来支付很多费用。 52．考查形容词。句意：“这很累人，但如果它能为动物们带来利润，那么这就是主要目标，”基尔说。A. exciting令人兴奋的；B. exhausting累人的；C. amusing有趣的；D. rewarding有回报的。根据后文“it’s hard work”可知，这份工作很累人。 53．考查名词。句意：“这很累人，但如果它能为动物们带来利润，那么这就是主要目标，”基尔说。A. profits利润；B. tricks技巧；C. dreams梦想；D. images图像。根据前文“café and gift shop”可知，咖啡馆和礼品店运营是为了给动物带来利润维持运营。 54．考查动词短语。句意：“有些日子我完全精疲力尽了——这是份艰苦的工作，”基尔说。A. left out遗漏；B. knocked out击倒；C. worn out精疲力尽；D. worked out解决。根据后文“it’s hard work”可知，工作让人精疲力尽。 55．考查动词。句意：“但随后我得到一个小鼻子的轻碰，或者一张脸抬头看着我，然后我就想起我为什么要做这件事。”A. wonder想知道；B. doubt怀疑；C. remember想起；D. predict预测。根据前文“But then I get a little nose ‘boop’ or a face looks up at me”以及后文“why I’m doing this”可知，动物的互动让她想起做这件事的原因。 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. 【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）假设你是李华，你校近期出现流浪猫(stray cat)，针对是否应该驱赶或收容这些流浪猫，同学们观点不一。校英语报就此话题开设专栏，征集意见，请你给编辑写一封信，内容包括： 1. 你的态度和理由； 2. 你的建议。 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。 Dear Editor, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】One possible version: Dear Editor, I firmly support keeping stray cats on our campus.

It can take both people and animals by surprise with its unexpected snowstorms. My house is built in a high position so that my backyard overlooks a large pond. Every spring, flocks of migratory birds (候鸟) chose to root in the pond on the way to their summer homes. They had a rest in the pond, looked for food to feed their baby birds and played with each other casually. This year, among others, hundreds of scaups, a type of diving duck, spent several days hanging out there, diving for food. Life was peaceful and warm for them. They spent hours swimming with each other. The older ones would run after the younger after they finished their breakfast. Every time the little ducks would spare no effort to escape and the open water around them would get bigger and bigger. Then the snowstorm hit followed by a very cold night. The temperature dropped sharply. As the open water of the pond shrank into icy desolation (荒凉) the scaups took off for a more livable habitat (栖息地). The next morning, I found that all birds had disappeared overnight except one lone female, who was diving energetically in her little circle of open water. Her movements and body heat had kept the ice from coming close. She bravely swam around as I watched her from the comfort of my warm home. As time passed, the open water around the duck got smaller and smaller, and her movements slowed. Obviously, she was in danger. I watched with anxiety as she eventually stopped moving, and I feared she was dead. I decided to go out to have a look. 注意： 1.所续写的短文词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then it happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This little duck’s friends probably saved her life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then it happened. Two more ducks suddenly appeared, determined and energetic, landing next to her still body. And then more ducks came, and the circle of water came alive with their swimming and diving. Within minutes, the lone female, too, was swimming and diving happily, returning to consciousness by her friends’ presence. A wave of great joy swallowed the lively ducks and they enjoyed themselves excitedly. This little duck’s friends probably saved her life. She wouldn’t have lasted another night in the frozen pond. And she, in turn, had done them a favor by keeping that small area of water open, so they had a place to stop and refresh themselves. It made me consider how we could have a deep effect on the people around us. A look, an action, a few words even our mere presence—might brighten someone’s day.

Truly one of a kind, the Trevor Zoo at Millbrook School is the only zoo in the nation accredited (认证) by Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and run by a high school. This is where Alan Tousignant began his career in zoology and conservation (保护). Tousignant was ready to study biology and apply to a program for veterinarians (兽医), but he didn’t live up to the requirement of mathematics and had to give up that dream. During a fieldwork experience, however, he learned about an opening for an internship (实习) at the Millbrook School’s Trevor Zoo. His work at the zoo has caused him to develop a lifelong interest and career in exhibiting non-native animals and working with others in the field of conservation. The Trevor Zoo, established in 1936, is small compared to many well-known zoos. As a consequence, Tousignant says, “We all wear a lot of hats.” But the wide range of tasks on the job is exactly what’s kept him around for all these years. The role of organizer — helping to shape the big-picture purposes and goals for the zoo — comes easily to Tousignant, but he says he appreciates the hands-on time he spends working with the animals and designing exhibits. Working with students and observing the impact of the zoo program on their early learning experiences has been inspiring to Tousignant, who says the value of an on-campus zoo creates many opportunities to catch students’ imaginations and stimulate their curiosity about science and conservation. One living, breathing example is Millbrook alumnus (校友), Thomas Lovejoy, PhD, today a senior expert and a professor of environmental science and policy at George Mason University in Virginia. Lovejoy’s experience working at the Trevor Zoo during high school inspired a lifelong career devoted to conservation. 24．(2.5分)What is special about the Trevor Zoo among AZA-accredited zoos? A．It has multiple wildlife species. B．It belongs to a private organization. C．It lies in the center of Millbrook. D．It is operated by a high school. 25．(2.5分)What led to Tousignant’s career interest? A．Animal research. B．Zoo internship. C．Math requirement. D．Biology study. 26．(2.5分)What does the underlined phrase “wear a lot of hats” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Take on various roles. B．Make the most of strengths. C．Work with many partners. D．Have a large collection of hats. 27．(2.5分)Why is Thomas Lovejoy mentioned in the last paragraph? A．To attract more students to visit zoos. B．To prove the popularity of conservation. C．To introduce a famous university professor. D．To show the Trevor Zoo’s influence on students. （本题10分）Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique. The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred. One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物). The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.” 28．(2.5分)What does the new study focus on? A．The origin of human language. B．Sound-shape connections in chicks. C．Animals’ recognition of shapes. D．Brain-behavior relationships of birds. 29．(2.5分)In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds? A．Sound localization. B．Reaction speed. C．Exploration preference. D．Matching accuracy. 30．(2.5分)What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect? A．Its historical context. B．Its potential application. C．Its overlooked limitation. D．Its possible explanation. 31．(2.5分)What does Loconsole say about the effect? A．It originated in birds. B．It shows evolutionary tendency. C．It’s shared across species. D．It’s vital to language emergence. （本题10分）Greenland sharks, the mysterious giants lying low in the deep, cold waters of the Arctic and North Atlantic, are known for their extraordinarily long life — some can live for over 400 years. Scientists have long wondered how these creatures manage to outlive all other vertebrates (脊椎动物). Through a series of studies, they desire to reveal the secrets behind their long life. Lily Fogg, a biologist at the University of Basel in Switzerland, and her team focused on the sharks’ eyes. Examining tissue from ten Greenland sharks, including some up to 150 years old, they found that these animals possess all the necessary cellular structures for vision in the deep sea’s dim light. Surprisingly, the eye tissue showed little sign of aging. Fogg suggests this may be due to highly active DNA repair mechanisms that prevent cell death and tissue degeneration. A separate study of the sharks’ sets of genes also pointed to enhanced DNA repair functions. However, not all organs benefit from such protection. Alessandro Cellerino, an Italian physiologist, led a study on the sharks’ hearts. Examining six Greenland sharks, his team discovered that their hearts accumulate tough scars and cellular damage over time. In humans, similar scarring would indicate cardiovascular disease, hardening the heart and reducing its pumping efficiency. Yet, despite this damage, the sharks’ hearts continue to function effectively. Researchers suspect that protective hormones may help their hearts stand up to some age-related injuries. Catherine Macdonald, an ecologist at the University of Miami, finds these findings fascinating. She notes that any animal with such a long lifetime must possess both repair and maintenance abilities. While studying living Greenland sharks is difficult owing to their deep-sea habitat — they can dive to 2,200 meters, Macdonald believes that understanding their long life can offer valuable insights into human aging. However, she cautions against drawing quick conclusions on human health, emphasizing that these discoveries are just the beginning of a much longer scientific journey. 32．(2.5分)What is the scientists’ attitude to Greenland sharks’ long life? A．Shocked. B．Curious. C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent. 33．(2.5分)What can be inferred about Greenland sharks’ hearts? A．They stop functioning at an old age. B．They age faster than their eyes. C．They are free of age-related injuries. D．They can repair damage thoroughly. 34．(2.5分)What does Macdonald think of the findings? A．They are difficult to understand. B．They lack corresponding evidence. C．They offer conclusions on human health. D．They are invaluable for further study. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．How Greenland Sharks Resist Aging B．How Greenland Sharks Live in the Sea C．How Greenland Sharks Get Genetic Protection D．How Greenland Sharks Keep Healthy for Long （本题12.5分）Ways You Can Help Protect Wildlife Wildlife is important to keeping ecological balance, and a world where it exists only in history books and on dinner plates is not one we should desire.

She has 41 more than 10,000 animals from abuse and abandonment so far. In 1971, Barby Keel’s tale of caring for animals started when a soldier asked her to 42 his dog while he was stationed in Northern Ireland. This small act was the 43 of her passion for animals. There were just three animals in her 44 when she founded the Barby Keel Animal Sanctuary (避难所) in 1979. More than 600 animals, including dogs and cats, now call the sanctuary 45 . Given her current 46 , Keel relies on volunteers to take care of all the animals. “I know I’m getting older, so I know my 47 ,” she said. “I don’t 48 the big animals anymore, but I still get up every morning to see them all.” Most of the animals live 49 on the 12-acre sanctuary. Keel and her staff take pride in their no-kill   50 . She uses her pension (退休金) to 51 a lot of costs, but after spending time with the animals, visitors can visit the sanctuary’s café and gift shop. “It is 52 , but if it generates 53 for the animals, then that’s the main goal,” Keel said. “Some days I am completely 54 — it’s hard work,” Keel says. “But then I get a little nose ‘boop’ (噗) or a face looks up at me, and I 55 why I’m doing this.” 41．(1分)A．bought B．chosen C．rescued D．defended 42．(1分)A．watch B．treat C．deliver D．avoid 43．(1分)A．result B．origin C．point D．proof 44．(1分)A．yard B．care C．view D．reach 45．(1分)A．name B．victory C．duty D．home 46．(1分)A．status B．power C．job D．age 47．(1分)A．identity B．interactions C．limitations D．interest 48．(1分)A．deal with B．rely on C．pick up D．come across 49．(1分)A．regularly B．permanently C．entirely D．initially 50．(1分)A．policy B．project C．level D．method 51．(1分)A．cut B．check C．restrict D．cover 52．(1分)A．exciting B．exhausting C．amusing D．rewarding 53．(1分)A．profits B．tricks C．dreams D．images 54．(1分)A．left out B．knocked out C．worn out D．worked out 55．(1分)A．wonder B．doubt C．remember D．predict 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）假设你是李华，你校近期出现流浪猫(stray cat)，针对是否应该驱赶或收容这些流浪猫，同学们观点不一。校英语报就此话题开设专栏，征集意见，请你给编辑写一封信，内容包括： 1. 你的态度和理由； 2. 你的建议。 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。 Dear Editor, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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。 “Nothing is so beautiful as spring—When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush.” However, there is no denying that early spring can be a tough time in the Midwest. It can take both people and animals by surprise with its unexpected snowstorms. My house is built in a high position so that my backyard overlooks a large pond. Every spring, flocks of migratory birds (候鸟) chose to root in the pond on the way to their summer homes. They had a rest in the pond, looked for food to feed their baby birds and played with each other casually. This year, among others, hundreds of scaups, a type of diving duck, spent several days hanging out there, diving for food. Life was peaceful and warm for them. They spent hours swimming with each other. The older ones would run after the younger after they finished their breakfast. Every time the little ducks would spare no effort to escape and the open water around them would get bigger and bigger. Then the snowstorm hit followed by a very cold night. The temperature dropped sharply. As the open water of the pond shrank into icy desolation (荒凉) the scaups took off for a more livable habitat (栖息地). The next morning, I found that all birds had disappeared overnight except one lone female, who was diving energetically in her little circle of open water. Her movements and body heat had kept the ice from coming close. She bravely swam around as I watched her from the comfort of my warm home. As time passed, the open water around the duck got smaller and smaller, and her movements slowed. Obviously, she was in danger. I watched with anxiety as she eventually stopped moving, and I feared she was dead. I decided to go out to have a look. 注意： 1.所续写的短文词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then it happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This little duck’s friends probably saved her life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 $
