第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
解析
1.考查形容词。设空处与空前的形容词beautiful是and连接的并列成分,共同作定语修饰名词place,则设
空处应用形容词。由语境可知,此处表示“Macquarie Island是一个美丽、和谐的地方”,则设空处表示
“和谐的”,故填harmonious。
2.考查动词的-ing形式。句中已有谓语arrived,故此处应用非谓语动词。设空处表示的动作和arrived同
时发生,所以设空处作伴随状语;bring与其逻辑主语humans之间是主动关系,应用动词的-ing形式。
3.考查不定式。此处表示“人们把猫带过来以控制它们(老鼠)”,由此可知设空处表示目的,应用不定
式作目的状语。
4.考查连词。句中but连接两个并列分句。在but后的分句中,multiplied为谓语,设空处无提示词,空后为
完整句子,故推测此处应用连词。由语境和空前的so可知此处构成so...that...结构,引导结果状语从句。
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
5.考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,且指代整个主句的内容,应用
关系代词which。
6.考查时态、语态及主谓一致。句中which引导非限制性定语从句,第二个逗号前为主句,设空处为主
句的谓语。此处表示“病毒被释放到岛上”,a virus与release之间是被动关系,应用被动语态。结合上
下文可知此处表示过去的事,应用一般过去时。主语a virus为单数,故填was released。
7.考查冠词。as a result是固定短语,意为“因此;结果”。故填a。
8.考查名词复数。由空前的dogs和and可知,and连接并列名词作used的宾语,则设空处应用名词。trap在
这里指“夹子;陷阱”,为可数名词,与dogs并列,故用其复数形式。
9.考查时态。句中and连接两个并列分句,由and前一分句中的developed和语境可知and后的分句也应用
一般过去时。故填exploded。
10.考查副词。此处表示“为了彻底解决这个问题”,设空处修饰动词solve,应用副词作状语。

[2026河北石家庄一中期中]
Scientists today are concerned about the growing number of species in the world that may soon become
extinct. The United Nations, along with many governments, is trying to save these endangered species. To
help resolve this issue, scientists have been trying to learn why species become endangered.
In the United States, loss of habitats is the main reason for species becoming endangered. As popula-
tions grow and cities or towns expand, nature is destroyed and the ecosystem is affected. Even small changes
in one part of an ecosystem can have a big impact on another part of it. For example, deforestation may re-
sult in a change in ground temperature, which may kill off a certain kind of plant in the forest. Animals that
eat this plant may suddenly find that there is no available food so they starve to death.
Ⅲ.阅读理解
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
Other possible causes of species being endangered or extinct are climate change and rising sea level. As
the Earth gets warmer, this has profound effects on animal and plant life everywhere. For example, rising
sea level makes coastal areas unfit for birds to live in. Warmer temperatures melt the ice where polar bears
live, ________ their habitat and making it harder for them to find food. The rising seas also make it harder
for polar bears to swim from the cold waters to frozen packs of ice so many of them drown.
There are several ways that people are trying to help endangered species recover. Ecologists study dif-
ferent species and try to find out more information about them to help. In Finland, for example, scientists
found that a decrease in the number of bogs(沼泽) was responsible for the falling butterfly population. Once
they understood this, they could manage the butterfly population and help it recover. Governments are also
passing laws to protect endangered animals. One example of this is an area near Hawaii with a seriously low
fish population. The United States' government has made it illegal for fishing boats to enter this area.

profound adj.深远的 6.illegal adj.违法的 7.concerning prep.关于,涉及
1.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Even small changes in one part of an ecosystem can have a big im-
pact on another part of it.”及下文给出的例子“For example, deforestation may result in a change...so
they starve to death.”可以推测,生态系统的变化会导致动物的死亡。故选C。
2.B 词义猜测题。分析画线词所在句可知,画线词所在部分“wrecking...food”为动词的-ing形式作结
果状语,即气温升高使北极熊生活环境中的冰融化了,这就破坏了它们的栖息地,并且使它们更难寻找
到食物,因此wrecking与damaging意思一致。故选B。

[2026广东深圳高级中学期中] 跨学科融合
Throughout history, trees have played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. They absorb CO
2 and transform it into oxygen. But one of the challenges with this traditional carbon absorption is that the
CO2 trees store can be released back into the atmosphere when they die.
However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process. These
trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate(草酸
钙). Then bacteria present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸
钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid
form for much longer, even after the tree's life ends. This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
University of Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference.
While the scientific community is optimistic about these findings, several challenges remain. The pri-
mary concern is determining the exact amount of CO2 that these trees can transform throughout their life-
time. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally. Under-
standing the ecological balance and ensuring the conservation of biodiversity are crucial before worldwide
planting of these trees. Cooperative research efforts are needed to explore these aspects and develop a com-
prehensive strategy for using these trees as a natural solution to climate change.
This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing envi-
ronmental challenges.While technological solutions to climate change are vital, integrating natural methods
offers an alternative approach. The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for exploration.
The journey to fighting climate change is complex. As we dig deeper into understanding natural phe-

nomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to
create a sustainable future for generations to come?
5.What is special about the trees found in Kenya?
A.They absorb more CO2.
B.They help turn CO2 into solids.
C.They release oxygen quickly.
D.They live in harmony with bacteria.
6.What is the core challenge before applying the discovery globally?
A.Assessing the cost of the process. B.Understanding the impact on soil.
C.Quantifying the CO2 transformation. D.Collecting the data on biodiversity.
