I heard it one evening in the Qwabi Private Game Reserve, where the Waterberg mountains spill outward like an unfolding story. We’d just watched a remarkable standoff: lionesses baring teeth and muscle to a dominant male who’d wandered too close. The roars came first, then a sudden, striking charge. Paws (爪子) flew and their breath hung in the air over the grasslands, before the male eventually turned and dropped to the ground in frustration. It was pure theatre, to which we had front-row seats. The Waterberg is a place of quiet success. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2001, this 654,000-hectare region in Limpopo Province is one of South Africa’s best-kept safari secrets. It’s a region where conservation feels like a lived value. Thanks to collaboration between private reserves, landowners and anti-poaching units, the region has recorded some of the lowest rhino (犀牛) poaching statistics in the country. Head guide Damien Fourie was extensive in his knowledge and boyishly excited about every sight and sound. After careful tracking, we came across a group of lions resting beneath a thorn tree, their bodies exposed only by the swinging of a tail. And when we spotted a two-week-old white rhino walking unsteadily beside its mother later on the drive, he was as thrilled as we were. Still, even if you see nothing but sky and silence, the Waterberg delivers. On our final morning, after a night of rain, I skipped the game drive in favor of a coffee on the deck. I watched the steam rise as the morning sun warmed the valley. The end of my time in the bush came with no distant lion roars, no whispering packs, no newborn rhino. Not every safari needs a drumroll ending. Sometimes, a slow, misty morning and a quiet deck tick all the boxes. 24．(2.5分)What did the author witness about the lions? A．Their playful race. B．Their staged show. C．Their fierce conflict. D．Their hunting attempt. 25．(2.5分)What do the underlined words “a lived value” in paragraph 3 mean? A．A key concept. B．A public image. C．An ignored idea. D．An active practice. 26．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Damien? A．Calm and distant. B．Informed and passionate. C．Energetic and creative. D．Disciplined and ambitious. 27．(2.5分)What does the author think of the safari? A．It displayed racial harmony. B．It had a disappointing ending. C．It revealed why she loved nature. D．It satisfied what she could hope for. （本题10分）When we think of city parks, we often picture neatly cut lawns, regular flowerbeds, and paved walking paths. For decades, urban planners have designed green spaces this way to project order, safety, and cleanliness. However, a growing global movement suggests that what modern cities truly need are not perfectly managed gardens, but “controlled wilderness” — areas where plants can naturally spread across the urban landscape. A major study conducted by environmental psychologists in Berlin analyzed how residents interacted with different types of urban green spaces. They compared traditional well-kept parks with abandoned railway tracks and riverbanks left to grow naturally with native wild grasses, thick brush, and wild trees. The findings showed that participants who spent time in the wilder areas reported significantly lower stress levels and a much higher sense of everyday creativity. “Neatly managed parks are visually pleasing, but they offer little mystery,” notes Dr. Liam Vance, an urban ecologist who participated in the research. “Wild spaces, on the other hand, stimulate our curiosity. They change constantly with the seasons and introduce unpredictable natural elements, which helps our tired minds fully recover from urban life.” Moreover, wild spaces are an absolute blessing for biodiversity. They provide essential habitats, rich food sources, and safe nesting grounds for local birds, insects, and small mammals that simply cannot survive on a standard, heavily cut grass lawn. These untouched zones form crucial tiny ecosystems within concrete jungles, effectively cleaning the urban air, absorbing rainwater to prevent local flooding, and helping to reduce the growing heat island effect. While some critics argue that unmanaged areas look messy, attract unwanted pests, or feel unsafe at night, supporters suggest that changing our traditional beauty standards is a small price to pay. Ultimately, embracing a bit of wildness within our concrete boundaries could be the key to healthier citizens and a stronger urban ecosystem. 28．(2.5分)What is “controlled wilderness” like? A．Dangerous and dark. B．Neat and orderly. C．Large and empty. D．Natural and free. 29．(2.5分)What did the findings of the Berlin study indicate? A．Traditional parks improved creativity. B．Traditional parks lowered tiredness. C．Wild spaces eased mental stress. D．Wild areas helped local wildlife. 30．(2.5分)Why are wild spaces beneficial to urban environments according to paragraph 4? A．They create mini ecosystems. B．They add more species to lawns. C．They fully hold back floods. D．They replace concrete to cut heat. 31．(2.5分)What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．A direct response to worries about wild areas. B．A balanced view on embracing urban wildness. C．A strong argument for changing beauty standard. D．A critical view on the downsides of wild spaces. （本题10分）For over 150 years, biologists have been perplexed by a question even Charles Darwin couldn’t fully answer: Why do some plants arrive in a new place and spread rapidly, while others barely survive? In On the Origin of Species, Darwin proposed two competing ideas about successful invasive (入侵的) plants: they are similar to native plants and already suited to local conditions or they are different enough to avoid direct competition. For years, evidence seemed to support both ideas, but the broader pattern remained unclear. Tadeo Ramirez-Parada and his team at UC Santa Barbara turned to herbaria, collections of preserved plant specimens (标本) gathered over centuries. Each dried plant comes with valuable information, including where and when it was collected, and whether it was flowering at the time. The team focused on flowering time, a critical factor in plant reproduction. Using specimen records, historical weather data, and advanced statistical methods, the researchers estimated flowering periods for thousands of species. They then compared invasive and native plants across regions. The results of the new study revealed a striking pattern. In regions with harsh conditions like extreme heat, cold or dryness, successful invasive plants responded to the same environmental cues as established species did. In milder regions with greater biodiversity, invasive species often flowered significantly earlier so they could attract pollinators (传粉者) before natives, and produce seeds sooner and spread them over a longer period. The findings may help land managers identify future threats before they become major problems. In mild climates, evolutionarily distinct invasive plants may deserve closer attention. In harsher climates, introduced species that behave like native plants may pose the greatest risk. The research also highlights concerns about invasive annual grasses, which have transformed many ecosystems. In California, large areas once supported diverse communities of native grasses and wildflowers, but today, many of those landscapes are dominated by fast-growing invasive grasses, which can reduce habitat quality for wildlife, increase wildfire risk, and limit the return of native species. 32．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “perplexed” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Puzzled. B．Impressed. C．Calmed. D．Defined. 33．(2.5分)What does paragraph 2 focus on about the new study? A．What it revealed. B．Who supported it. C．How it was conducted. D．Why it was mentioned. 34．(2.5分)Why did invasive species in milder regions flower earlier? A．To respond to extreme heat. B．To escape pollinators’ attack. C．To behave like native species. D．To avoid competition with natives. 35．(2.5分)What does the new research reveal about invasive species? A．They are more adaptive than natives. B．They contribute to local biodiversity. C．They warn people of natural disasters. D．They can pose threats to native species. （本题12.5分）Science has found that rabbits can experience multiple emotions, including joy, fright, stress, and worry. While they don’t cry tears as humans do, they may express their discomfort through other means such as vocalizations (发声), ear and body position, or the way they move. However, the production of emotional tears appears to be unique to humans. 36(2.5分) Seeing tears in your rabbit’s eyes can be heartbreaking, but it is important to stay calm and observe your rabbit carefully. If you think the tears are due to an illness or injury, contact a vet (兽医) immediately. 37(2.5分) Finally, provide plenty of love and attention so that your pet always feels secure and loved. Rabbits communicate with each other through a variety of methods. From vocalizations to body language, understanding what your rabbit is trying to tell you requires paying attention to both verbal (口头的) and, most commonly, nonverbal clues. 38(2.5分) An unhappy rabbit will try to run away, hide in corners or behind furniture. 39(2.5分) These signs can include jumping in circles and making soft little noises. Additionally, rabbits will often clean themselves and lie down with legs spread out comfortably when they are feeling relaxed. Understanding rabbit behavior and being observant are essential for detecting signs of discomfort so that you can respond appropriately with care. Creating a safe environment as well as providing plenty of love and enrichment opportunities is key to keeping your rabbit happy and healthy. 40(2.5分) A．After all, rabbits, like humans, are social animals. B．The latter is often mistaken for a normal physical activity. C．For example, a flat head to the ground indicates discomfort. D．Keeping your rabbit in a safe, stress-free space also matters. E．Thus, rabbit tears or watery eyes mean an eye issue, not crying. F．A happy rabbit may exhibit certain behaviors to display their joy. G．By doing so, you can help ensure your rabbit has a long and joyful life. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I recently returned from a trip to Chengdu, China, where I visited the world-famous Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding to 41 one of China’s national treasures, the giant panda.

It started in 1931 in Florence, Italy when ecologists joined together to raise public 56(1.5分) (aware) of endangered species. Since then, the yearly event has been used as 57(1.5分) means of connecting animal welfare organizations, businesses, community groups and individuals 58(1.5分) (raise) funds for causes like animal care and endangered species protection. In the past 20 years, China 59(1.5分) (devote) to improving animal welfare. The biggest symbol of China’s official protection of animals can be found in the Wildlife Protection Law, first 60(1.5分) (sign) in 1988 and revised several times over the years. The law is aimed at protecting endangered species as well as 61(1.5分) (ensure) a balance between the needs of wild animals and people. This balance is 62(1.5分) (evidence) in the case of Asian elephants, endangered due 63(1.5分) hunting for their tusks (象牙). Asian elephants in China are mostly found in Yunnan Province. A variety of difficulties have appeared as the government has tried to strike a balance between protecting the endangered elephants and making up for farmers 64(1.5分) crops are damaged by these wild animals. Through changes to the law, the government has improved harmony between locals and wildlife 65(1.5分) (positive). More measures will be taken to improve wildlife habitats. In the spirit of World Animal Day, let’s think of more ways to better protect animals, shall we? 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是校学生会主席李华，目前你校正在开展“野生动物保护周”活动。请你以学生会的名义用英语写一封倡议书发表在校英语报上。内容包括： 1. 动物的重要性； 2. 保护动物的方法：提高人们的野生动物保护意识等； (至少再提出两种方法) 3. 发出倡议。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80词左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear schoolmates, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Students’ Union 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。 As someone who always enjoyed gardening, I volunteered to help manage a small woodland during my summer break. I arrived early in the summer, before most wildflowers had bloomed. Seeing what I thought was an overgrown patch (小块土地) of weeds in an open land, I sprayed herbicide (除草剂), pulled out every plant I didn’t recognize, and cut back the surrounding trees to make the place look “tidy.” The following summer, I returned. The “weeds” I had destroyed had grown back around the edges where I hadn’t sprayed — and they were stunning. Bright orange flowers, tall purple spikes, delicate white blooms — plants I had never seen before. I knelt down, confused. Old Man Thompson, who had lived next door for seventy years, hobbled over. He looked at the flowers, then at me, his eyes soft but sad. “Those used to cover this whole patch,” he said quietly. “They held the soil together. My wife used to say, ‘Take care of the flowers, and they’ll take care of the land.’ She picked a handful every summer before she passed.” He paused, then patted my shoulder. “You didn’t know. But without them, this place isn’t the same.” That night, I lay on my bed, his words echoing in my ears. I pulled out my phone and searched for every plant I could remember. I learned their names: butterfly weed, blazing star, prairie clover. I learned they were native, precious, and increasingly rare. I ordered a shovel (铲子), a packet of mixed native seeds online, along with an old field guide that a forum had recommended. I also copied the planting instructions into my notebook. As I flipped through the guide when it arrived, one sentence caught my eye: “Native plants are the land itself. Lose them, and you lose the place.” I had thought I was just cleaning up. But I had been erasing something that had held this ground together for longer than I could imagine. I didn’t know if I could bring it back. But I had seeds. And I had all summer. 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 walked back to the patch the next morning — this time not with herbicide. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next summer, I hurried to the patch and found an old man there, lost in the blossoms. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 5 Into the Wild（适中版02）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）Where does the conversation probably take place?

C．Offer planting methods. 【答案】17．A 18．C 19．B 20．A 【详解】 Take care of your plants. They may scream if you treat them badly, according to an article published in a magazine in Cell. Plants can make sounds when they are stressed. Plants interact with insects and other animals all the time, and many of these insects and animals use sounds for communication, so it would be very inconvenient for plants not to use sounds at all. Lilach Hadany told BBC Science Focus. With this in mind, the research team started by recording plants' sounds. They divided the plants into three groups. One group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems cut off and the last group remained untouched. The microphones caught sounds at a frequency of 40 to 80 kilohertz from the first two groups. The sounds grew louder and louder during the five days of water stress. They then began to decline as the plants dried out. The researchers haven’t yet discovered how the sounds are made. After the experiment, the team gathered the data and made software that could tell how plants feel. It could be useful for farmers in monitoring the conditions of their crops. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Native Pollinator Garden Volunteer Edwin B．Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge protects more than 48,000 acres of southern New Jersey coastal habitats, and is a critical stopover for countless bird species.

I heard it one evening in the Qwabi Private Game Reserve, where the Waterberg mountains spill outward like an unfolding story. We’d just watched a remarkable standoff: lionesses baring teeth and muscle to a dominant male who’d wandered too close. The roars came first, then a sudden, striking charge. Paws (爪子) flew and their breath hung in the air over the grasslands, before the male eventually turned and dropped to the ground in frustration. It was pure theatre, to which we had front-row seats. The Waterberg is a place of quiet success. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2001, this 654,000-hectare region in Limpopo Province is one of South Africa’s best-kept safari secrets. It’s a region where conservation feels like a lived value. Thanks to collaboration between private reserves, landowners and anti-poaching units, the region has recorded some of the lowest rhino (犀牛) poaching statistics in the country. Head guide Damien Fourie was extensive in his knowledge and boyishly excited about every sight and sound. After careful tracking, we came across a group of lions resting beneath a thorn tree, their bodies exposed only by the swinging of a tail. And when we spotted a two-week-old white rhino walking unsteadily beside its mother later on the drive, he was as thrilled as we were. Still, even if you see nothing but sky and silence, the Waterberg delivers. On our final morning, after a night of rain, I skipped the game drive in favor of a coffee on the deck. I watched the steam rise as the morning sun warmed the valley. The end of my time in the bush came with no distant lion roars, no whispering packs, no newborn rhino. Not every safari needs a drumroll ending. Sometimes, a slow, misty morning and a quiet deck tick all the boxes. 24．(2.5分)What did the author witness about the lions? A．Their playful race. B．Their staged show. C．Their fierce conflict. D．Their hunting attempt. 25．(2.5分)What do the underlined words “a lived value” in paragraph 3 mean? A．A key concept. B．A public image. C．An ignored idea. D．An active practice. 26．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Damien? A．Calm and distant. B．Informed and passionate. C．Energetic and creative. D．Disciplined and ambitious. 27．(2.5分)What does the author think of the safari? A．It displayed racial harmony. B．It had a disappointing ending. C．It revealed why she loved nature. D．It satisfied what she could hope for. 【答案】24．C 25．D 26．B 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者记述了在南非Waterberg私人保护区观兽旅行的经历。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“We’d just watched a remarkable standoff: lionesses baring teeth and muscle to a dominant male who’d wandered too close. The roars came first, then a sudden, striking charge. Paws flew and their breath hung in the air over the grasslands, before the male eventually turned and dropped to the ground in frustration.(我们刚刚目睹了一场引人注目的对峙：母狮们露出牙齿和肌肉，对一头靠得太近的占主导地位的雄狮。先是咆哮声，然后是突然而猛烈的冲锋。狮爪飞舞，它们的呼吸在草原上方的空气中飘荡，最后雄狮沮丧地转身倒在地上)”可知，作者目睹了狮子之间激烈的冲突。故选C项。 25．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中的“Thanks to collaboration between private reserves, landowners and anti-poaching units, the region has recorded some of the lowest rhino poaching statistics in the country.(由于私人保护区、土地所有者和反偷猎单位之间的合作，该地区记录了该国最低的犀牛偷猎数据)”可知，该地区在保护野生动物方面取得了显著成效，说明保护在该地区是一种积极的实践。由此可推测，a lived value意为“一种积极的实践”，D选项“An active practice.( 一种积极的实践)”符合题意。故选D项。 26．推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Head guide Damien Fourie was extensive in his knowledge and boyishly excited about every sight and sound.(首席导游Damien Fourie知识渊博，对每一处景象和声音都像孩子一样兴奋)”以及“And when we spotted a two-week-old white rhino walking unsteadily beside its mother later on the drive, he was as thrilled as we were.( 后来在驱车途中，我们看到一头两周大的白犀牛摇摇晃晃地跟在它的母亲身旁走着。那一刻，它和我们一样兴奋不已)”可知，Damien Fourie知识渊博，对每一次的景象和声音都充满热情，由此可推测出他是一个知识丰富且充满激情的人。故选B项。 27．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Not every safari needs a drumroll ending. Sometimes, a slow, misty morning and a quiet deck tick all the boxes.(并不是每一次观兽旅行都需要一个激动人心的结局。有时候，一个缓慢、雾蒙蒙的早晨和一个安静的甲板就足够了)”可知，作者认为观兽旅行并不总是需要激动人心的结局，有时一个安静、缓慢的早晨和甲板也能满足她的期望。由此可推测出作者认为这次观兽旅行满足了她的期望。D选项“It satisfied what she could hope for.( 这满足了她所期望的一切。)”符合题意。故选D项。 （本题10分）When we think of city parks, we often picture neatly cut lawns, regular flowerbeds, and paved walking paths. For decades, urban planners have designed green spaces this way to project order, safety, and cleanliness. However, a growing global movement suggests that what modern cities truly need are not perfectly managed gardens, but “controlled wilderness” — areas where plants can naturally spread across the urban landscape. A major study conducted by environmental psychologists in Berlin analyzed how residents interacted with different types of urban green spaces. They compared traditional well-kept parks with abandoned railway tracks and riverbanks left to grow naturally with native wild grasses, thick brush, and wild trees. The findings showed that participants who spent time in the wilder areas reported significantly lower stress levels and a much higher sense of everyday creativity. “Neatly managed parks are visually pleasing, but they offer little mystery,” notes Dr. Liam Vance, an urban ecologist who participated in the research. “Wild spaces, on the other hand, stimulate our curiosity. They change constantly with the seasons and introduce unpredictable natural elements, which helps our tired minds fully recover from urban life.” Moreover, wild spaces are an absolute blessing for biodiversity. They provide essential habitats, rich food sources, and safe nesting grounds for local birds, insects, and small mammals that simply cannot survive on a standard, heavily cut grass lawn. These untouched zones form crucial tiny ecosystems within concrete jungles, effectively cleaning the urban air, absorbing rainwater to prevent local flooding, and helping to reduce the growing heat island effect. While some critics argue that unmanaged areas look messy, attract unwanted pests, or feel unsafe at night, supporters suggest that changing our traditional beauty standards is a small price to pay. Ultimately, embracing a bit of wildness within our concrete boundaries could be the key to healthier citizens and a stronger urban ecosystem. 28．(2.5分)What is “controlled wilderness” like? A．Dangerous and dark. B．Neat and orderly. C．Large and empty. D．Natural and free. 29．(2.5分)What did the findings of the Berlin study indicate? A．Traditional parks improved creativity. B．Traditional parks lowered tiredness. C．Wild spaces eased mental stress. D．Wild areas helped local wildlife. 30．(2.5分)Why are wild spaces beneficial to urban environments according to paragraph 4? A．They create mini ecosystems. B．They add more species to lawns. C．They fully hold back floods. D．They replace concrete to cut heat. 31．(2.5分)What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．A direct response to worries about wild areas. B．A balanced view on embracing urban wildness. C．A strong argument for changing beauty standard. D．A critical view on the downsides of wild spaces. 【答案】28．D 29．C 30．A 31．B 【导语】文章主要讲述了城市需要“受控荒野”区域，以改善居民心理健康并增强城市生态系统的生物多样性。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, a growing global movement suggests that what modern cities truly need are not perfectly managed gardens, but “controlled wilderness” — areas where plants can naturally spread across the urban landscape.(但一场日渐壮大的全球运动提出：现代城市真正需要的并非打理得无可挑剔的园林，而是 “受控荒野”—— 让植物在城市景观中自然蔓延的区域。)”可知，受控荒野的特点是自然且不受过度人工约束的。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The findings showed that participants who spent time in the wilder areas reported significantly lower stress levels and a much higher sense of everyday creativity.(研究结果显示，在更具野性的区域停留的受试者反馈自己的压力水平显著降低，日常创造力也有明显提升。)”可知，荒野类的城市绿地能够缓解人们的精神压力。 30．细节理解题。根据第四段中“These untouched zones form crucial tiny ecosystems within concrete jungles, effectively cleaning the urban air, absorbing rainwater to prevent local flooding, and helping to reduce the growing heat island effect.(这些未被人为干预的区域在钢筋水泥的丛林中形成了至关重要的微型生态系统，能有效净化城市空气、吸纳雨水防范局部内涝，还能缓解日益严重的热岛效应。)”可知，荒野空间对城市环境的核心益处是构建了小型生态系统。 31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“While some critics argue that unmanaged areas look messy, attract unwanted pests, or feel unsafe at night, supporters suggest that changing our traditional beauty standards is a small price to pay. Ultimately, embracing a bit of wildness within our concrete boundaries could be the key to healthier citizens and a stronger urban ecosystem.(尽管部分批评者认为无人打理的区域看起来杂乱、会招引害虫、夜间缺乏安全感，但支持者认为改变我们传统的审美标准只是很小的代价。归根结底，在城市的钢筋水泥边界中接纳一点野性，是让市民更健康、城市生态系统更稳固的关键。)”可知，本段针对外界的顾虑给出了回应，同时给出了接纳城市荒野的平衡观点。 （本题10分）For over 150 years, biologists have been perplexed by a question even Charles Darwin couldn’t fully answer: Why do some plants arrive in a new place and spread rapidly, while others barely survive? In On the Origin of Species, Darwin proposed two competing ideas about successful invasive (入侵的) plants: they are similar to native plants and already suited to local conditions or they are different enough to avoid direct competition. For years, evidence seemed to support both ideas, but the broader pattern remained unclear. Tadeo Ramirez-Parada and his team at UC Santa Barbara turned to herbaria, collections of preserved plant specimens (标本) gathered over centuries. Each dried plant comes with valuable information, including where and when it was collected, and whether it was flowering at the time. The team focused on flowering time, a critical factor in plant reproduction. Using specimen records, historical weather data, and advanced statistical methods, the researchers estimated flowering periods for thousands of species. They then compared invasive and native plants across regions. The results of the new study revealed a striking pattern. In regions with harsh conditions like extreme heat, cold or dryness, successful invasive plants responded to the same environmental cues as established species did. In milder regions with greater biodiversity, invasive species often flowered significantly earlier so they could attract pollinators (传粉者) before natives, and produce seeds sooner and spread them over a longer period. The findings may help land managers identify future threats before they become major problems. In mild climates, evolutionarily distinct invasive plants may deserve closer attention. In harsher climates, introduced species that behave like native plants may pose the greatest risk. The research also highlights concerns about invasive annual grasses, which have transformed many ecosystems. In California, large areas once supported diverse communities of native grasses and wildflowers, but today, many of those landscapes are dominated by fast-growing invasive grasses, which can reduce habitat quality for wildlife, increase wildfire risk, and limit the return of native species. 32．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “perplexed” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Puzzled. B．Impressed. C．Calmed. D．Defined. 33．(2.5分)What does paragraph 2 focus on about the new study? A．What it revealed. B．Who supported it. C．How it was conducted. D．Why it was mentioned. 34．(2.5分)Why did invasive species in milder regions flower earlier? A．To respond to extreme heat. B．To escape pollinators’ attack. C．To behave like native species. D．To avoid competition with natives. 35．(2.5分)What does the new research reveal about invasive species? A．They are more adaptive than natives. B．They contribute to local biodiversity. C．They warn people of natural disasters. D．They can pose threats to native species. 【答案】32．A 33．C 34．D 35．D 【导语】本文主要介绍一项关于外来入侵植物的新研究，探究了不同环境下入侵植物的生长开花规律，并阐述了该研究的应用价值以及入侵植物对生态系统造成的危害。 【详解】32．词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“For over 150 years, biologists have been perplexed by a question even Charles Darwin couldn’t fully answer: Why do some plants arrive in a new place and spread rapidly, while others barely survive?(150多年来，生物学家一直被一个连查尔斯·达尔文都无法完全解答的问题所perplexed：为什么有些植物到达新环境后能迅速扩散，而另一些却难以生存？)”可知，这个问题连达尔文都没能完全解决，说明它非常令人困惑。A选项“Puzzled(困惑的)”与文意相符。 33．主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“The team focused on flowering time, a critical factor in plant reproduction. Using specimen records, historical weather data, and advanced statistical methods, the researchers estimated flowering periods for thousands of species. They then compared invasive and native plants across regions.(研究团队聚焦于开花时间这一植物繁殖的关键因素。利用标本记录、历史气象数据和先进的统计方法，研究人员估算了数千种植物的花期。随后，他们比较了不同地区入侵植物与本土植物的情况。)”可知，本段主要描述了研究是如何开展的（数据来源、研究方法、分析过程）。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In milder regions with greater biodiversity, invasive species often flowered significantly earlier so they could attract pollinators (传粉者) before natives, and produce seeds sooner and spread them over a longer period.(在生物多样性更丰富、气候更温和的地区，入侵植物通常开花显著更早，以便在本土植物之前吸引传粉者，并更快地结籽且在更长时间内传播。)”可知，提早开花是为了抢占资源，避免与本土植物发生竞争。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In California, large areas once supported diverse communities of native grasses and wildflowers, but today, many of those landscapes are dominated by fast-growing invasive grasses, which can reduce habitat quality for wildlife, increase wildfire risk, and limit the return of native species.(在加利福尼亚州，大片区域曾支撑着由本土草本植物和野花组成的多样化群落，但如今，许多这样的地貌已被快速生长的入侵草本植物所主导，这会降低野生动物的栖息地质量，增加野火风险，并限制本土物种的恢复。)”可知，新研究揭示了入侵物种会对本土物种构成威胁。 （本题12.5分）Science has found that rabbits can experience multiple emotions, including joy, fright, stress, and worry. While they don’t cry tears as humans do, they may express their discomfort through other means such as vocalizations (发声), ear and body position, or the way they move. However, the production of emotional tears appears to be unique to humans. 36(2.5分) Seeing tears in your rabbit’s eyes can be heartbreaking, but it is important to stay calm and observe your rabbit carefully. If you think the tears are due to an illness or injury, contact a vet (兽医) immediately. 37(2.5分) Finally, provide plenty of love and attention so that your pet always feels secure and loved. Rabbits communicate with each other through a variety of methods. From vocalizations to body language, understanding what your rabbit is trying to tell you requires paying attention to both verbal (口头的) and, most commonly, nonverbal clues. 38(2.5分) An unhappy rabbit will try to run away, hide in corners or behind furniture. 39(2.5分) These signs can include jumping in circles and making soft little noises. Additionally, rabbits will often clean themselves and lie down with legs spread out comfortably when they are feeling relaxed. Understanding rabbit behavior and being observant are essential for detecting signs of discomfort so that you can respond appropriately with care. Creating a safe environment as well as providing plenty of love and enrichment opportunities is key to keeping your rabbit happy and healthy. 40(2.5分) A．After all, rabbits, like humans, are social animals. B．The latter is often mistaken for a normal physical activity. C．For example, a flat head to the ground indicates discomfort. D．Keeping your rabbit in a safe, stress-free space also matters. E．Thus, rabbit tears or watery eyes mean an eye issue, not crying. F．A happy rabbit may exhibit certain behaviors to display their joy. G．By doing so, you can help ensure your rabbit has a long and joyful life. 【答案】36．E 37．D 38．C 39．F 40．G 【导语】文章介绍了兔子虽然有情感但不会像人类一样流情绪性眼泪，并提供了如何通过观察行为来判断兔子的情绪以及如何照顾兔子的建议。 【详解】36．根据空格前的句子“However, the production of emotional tears appears to be unique to humans.(然而，情感性眼泪的产生似乎是人类独有的。)”可知，前文强调了只有人类才会流下情感性的眼泪。结合空格前文提到的兔子会通过其他方式表达不适，空格处应得出关于兔子流泪原因的结论。E项“Thus, rabbit tears or watery eyes mean an eye issue, not crying.(因此，兔子流泪或眼睛湿润意味着眼部问题，而不是在哭泣。)”中的“Thus”构成了因果逻辑，完美承接了前文“人类独有”的论述，并引出了兔子流泪的真实生理原因，符合语境。 37．根据空格前的句子“If you think the tears are due to an illness or injury, contact a vet (兽医) immediately.(如果你认为流泪是由于疾病或受伤引起的，请立即联系兽医。)”以及空格后的句子“Finally, provide plenty of love and attention so that your pet always feels secure and loved.(最后，提供充足的爱和关注，让你的宠物总是感到安全和被爱。)”可知，空格处应填入一个与“联系兽医”和“提供爱”并列的照顾兔子的建议。D项“Keeping your rabbit in a safe, stress-free space also matters.(将你的兔子安置在一个安全、无压力的空间也很重要。)”中的“also matters”表明这是另一个重要的照顾措施，且与后文的“Finally”构成了步骤上的递进关系，符合语境。 38．根据空格前的句子“From vocalizations to body language, understanding what your rabbit is trying to tell you requires paying attention to both verbal (口头的) and, most commonly, nonverbal clues.(从发声到肢体语言，理解你的兔子试图告诉你什么，需要注意口头线索，以及最常见的非口头线索。)”可知，前文强调了理解兔子的非口头（肢体）线索很重要。结合空格后的句子“An unhappy rabbit will try to run away, hide in corners or behind furniture.(一只不开心的兔子会试图逃跑，躲在角落里或家具后面。)”可知，空格处应举例说明某种具体的肢体语言及其代表的含义。C项“For example, a flat head to the ground indicates discomfort.(例如，头平贴地面表示不适。)”中的“For example”引出了具体的肢体语言例子，且“indicates discomfort”与后文“unhappy rabbit”的表现逻辑一致，符合语境。 39．根据空格后的句子“These signs can include jumping in circles and making soft little noises.(这些迹象可能包括转圈跳和发出轻柔的细小声音。)”可知，空格后列举了兔子的一些具体行为表现。结合下一句“Additionally, rabbits will often clean themselves and lie down with legs spread out comfortably when they are feeling relaxed.(此外，当兔子感到放松时，它们通常会清理自己，并舒适地伸展双腿躺下。)”可知，这些行为都是兔子心情愉悦或放松时的表现。因此，空格处应是一个引出快乐兔子行为特征的主题句。F项“A happy rabbit may exhibit certain behaviors to display their joy.(一只快乐的兔子可能会表现出某些行为来展示它们的喜悦。)”中的“happy rabbit”和“display their joy”完美概括了后文“jumping in circles”等快乐迹象，符合语境。 40．根据空格前的句子“Creating a safe environment as well as providing plenty of love and enrichment opportunities is key to keeping your rabbit happy and healthy.(创造一个安全的环境，并提供充足的爱和丰富化的机会，是让你的兔子保持快乐和健康的关键。)”可知，前文总结了照顾兔子的关键要素。空格位于段末，通常起总结全文或展望结果的作用。G项“By doing so, you can help ensure your rabbit has a long and joyful life.(通过这样做，你可以帮助确保你的兔子拥有长寿且快乐的生活。)”中的“By doing so”指代了前文提到的所有照顾措施，且“long and joyful life”是对这些措施最终美好结果的总结与升华，符合语境。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I recently returned from a trip to Chengdu, China, where I visited the world-famous Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding to 41 one of China’s national treasures, the giant panda.

However, human activities greatly influence animals and their habitats, leading to populations dropping sharply and even putting some close to extinction. Therefore, we must raise public awareness of the challenges facing animals. Besides, we students can take small actions to protect endangered species, such as refusing to buy animal products and supporting habitat conservation efforts. In addition, more nature reserves should be established to provide a safe home for wild animals. Let’s take action now! Protecting wild animals is protecting ourselves.

I arrived early in the summer, before most wildflowers had bloomed. Seeing what I thought was an overgrown patch (小块土地) of weeds in an open land, I sprayed herbicide (除草剂), pulled out every plant I didn’t recognize, and cut back the surrounding trees to make the place look “tidy.” The following summer, I returned. The “weeds” I had destroyed had grown back around the edges where I hadn’t sprayed — and they were stunning. Bright orange flowers, tall purple spikes, delicate white blooms — plants I had never seen before. I knelt down, confused. Old Man Thompson, who had lived next door for seventy years, hobbled over. He looked at the flowers, then at me, his eyes soft but sad. “Those used to cover this whole patch,” he said quietly. “They held the soil together. My wife used to say, ‘Take care of the flowers, and they’ll take care of the land.’ She picked a handful every summer before she passed.” He paused, then patted my shoulder. “You didn’t know. But without them, this place isn’t the same.” That night, I lay on my bed, his words echoing in my ears. I pulled out my phone and searched for every plant I could remember. I learned their names: butterfly weed, blazing star, prairie clover. I learned they were native, precious, and increasingly rare. I ordered a shovel (铲子), a packet of mixed native seeds online, along with an old field guide that a forum had recommended. I also copied the planting instructions into my notebook. As I flipped through the guide when it arrived, one sentence caught my eye: “Native plants are the land itself. Lose them, and you lose the place.” I had thought I was just cleaning up. But I had been erasing something that had held this ground together for longer than I could imagine. I didn’t know if I could bring it back. But I had seeds. And I had all summer. 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 walked back to the patch the next morning — this time not with herbicide. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next summer, I hurried to the patch and found an old man there, lost in the blossoms. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】       I walked back to the patch the next morning — this time not with herbicide. Slung over my shoulder were the seeds, a hand shovel, and a notebook filled with plant information I had searched overnight. Guilt weighing heavily on my heart, I knelt down, loosened compacted earth with my small shovel and scattered native seeds evenly. Determined to make up for my stupid mistake, I returned every dawn — watering gently and watching tiny green shoots push upward. By the time my summer break ended, the patch was dotted with fragile seedlings. I packed my bags with a heavy heart, leaving behind only hope and a whispered promise to the land. The next summer, I hurried to the patch and found an old man there, lost in the blossoms. The patch had transformed — orange and purple waves swaying, bees diving into every bloom, the air thick with wild sweetness. He knelt among them, fingers tracing a petal as if reading a letter. He looked up excitedly, eyes wet, and whispered, “You brought them back.” I opened my mouth, but no words came. Seeing the sea of blossoms and the old man’s glistening eyes, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. Suddenly the guide’s words came back to me: “Native plants are the land itself.” I had erased them once. Now I was learning that true care is not about blind tidiness — it is about listening to nature and mending what we broke. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者暑假志愿打理林地，误把本土野花当作杂草清除。次年他发现被除掉的野花在边角重新绽放，邻居汤普森老人告知这些野花的价值与往事。作者查阅资料，了解到这些珍稀本土植物的重要性，决心播种修复这片土地。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写作者心怀愧疚，来到林地播撒本土种子，每日悉心照料。假期结束时，地里长出幼苗，他满怀希望许下承诺。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写来年夏天，作者看到野花重现，老人深受触动。作者感悟到真正的爱护不是盲目修整，而是修复自然。 2.续写线索：作者心怀愧疚——播撒本土种子——悉心照料——野花重现——老人深受触动——作者感悟 3.词类激活： 行为类： ①低声说：whisper/murmur ②看见：see/spot/catch sight of 情绪类： ①懊悔：guilt/remorse/regret ②高兴地：excitedly/happily/in delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】Guilt weighing heavily on my heart, I knelt down, loosened compacted earth with my small shovel and scattered native seeds evenly.
