Researchers found that ants began farming fungi (真菌) 66 million years ago, around the time an asteroid (小行星) struck Earth and caused a global mass extinction. While the mass extinction was destructive for many species, including dinosaurs, it presented an opportunity for fungi. With plentiful rotten plant matter on the ground, ants developed an evolutionary partnership with fungi that still endures today. Over time, this relationship grew stronger, with ants improving their agricultural practices and developing advanced methods 27 million years ago, a process similar to the domestication of crops by humans. “Ants have been practising agriculture and fungus farming for much longer than humans have existed,” Ted Schultz, the lead author of the new paper, said in a statement. “We could probably learn something from the agricultural success of these ants over the past 66 million years.” Fungus-farming ants are particularly diverse in the Americas and the Caribbean, with nearly 250 different species engaged in this practice. The research, published in the journal Science, analysed genetic data from hundreds of ant and fungus species to create detailed evolutionary trees. These genetic timelines played an important role in revealing the evolution of ants’ agricultural techniques. The study builds on Schultz’s 35 years of research into ant-fungus relationships, during which he and his team collected thousands of genetic samples from Central and South America. By comparing wild fungal species with ants’ domesticated fungi, the researchers determined that ants have been farming fungi since shortly after the asteroid impact. The ants have bacteria that can produce antibiotics (抗生素) to fight off diseases attacking their fungi. “Somehow, over the course of 66 million years, they’ve been able to continue to control crop disease and develop antibiotics that continue to be effective,” Schultz told Newsweek. “We’ve only been using antibiotics for less than 100 years and we have major problems keeping up with resistance and developing new antibiotics.” (　)1.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2? A.Ants began to coexist with fungi 27 million years ago. B.Around 250 species of ants worldwide took part in fungus farming. C.Ants used more advanced ways of practising agriculture than humans. D.Dead plant matter provided conditions for fungi to expand. (　)2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on? A.The methods in the research process. B.The research findings on fungus farming. C.The analysis of the genetic timeline. D.The impact of the asteroid event. (　)3.Which statement would Schultz probably agree with? A.Human history is much longer than that of ant agriculture. B.The antibiotics produced by ants could be used to treat humans. C.Further study could be focused on how to keep antibiotics effective. D.It’s meaningless for humans to follow ants’ success story in farming. (　)4.What’s the best title for this text? A.Ants are smarter than humans B.Agriculture isn’t unique to humans C.Ants provided solutions to human farming D.Ants mastered agriculture long before humans ●Ⅴ 语法填空 (每小题1.5分,满分15分) [2025·山西阳泉三校联考高二期中] Trees tend to keep their distance from their own kind, a recent study found. A research team at the University of Texas, US, looked into how trees organize 1.　　　　　　 (they) on Barro Colorado Island, Panama.  The team studied data collected from a forest research area about the size of 100 football 2.　　　　　　 (field) over a period of 30 years. They discovered the distance that the trees grow from one another is much greater than the distance that seeds 3.　　　　 (typical) travel.  For one tree species, the distance between an adult tree and its 4.　　　　　　 (near) neighbour was 5.5 times more than predicted. 5.　　　　　　 (compare) to where the seeds fall, each tree has only 2 percent of the expected number of neighbours within 20 metres. 6.　　　　　　 other words, seeds that are too close to their “mother” can’t grow. This can 7.　　　　　　 (explain) by the Janzen-Connell hypothesis (假说). The predators (捕食者) of the tree make the areas near a parent tree difficult for the seeds to survive. These predators, or 8.　　　　　　 (nature) enemies, can be plant-eating animals or pathogens (病原体) 9.　　　　　　 can make the tree ill. But they don’t do harm to other types of plants. In this way, 10.　　　　 the biodiversity in the area is maintained is not difficult to understand—other plant species can survive around the parent tree.  ●Ⅵ 完形填空(每小题1分,满分15分) [2026·安徽池州高二期中] My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago and we spent a lot of 　1　 in the yard to get it looking like it does today.

With plentiful rotten plant matter on the ground, ants developed an evolutionary partnership with fungi that still endures today.”可知,大灭绝让土地上出现了很多腐烂的植物,这给真菌大量繁殖提供了条件。故选D。 2.A　段落大意题。根据第三段“The research, published in the journal Science, analysed genetic data from hundreds of ant and fungus species to create detailed evolutionary trees. These genetic timelines played an important role in revealing the evolution of ants’ agricultural techniques. The study builds on Schultz’s 35 years of research into ant-fungus relationships, during which he and his team collected thousands of genetic samples from Central and South America. By comparing wild fungal species with ants’ domesticated fungi, the researchers determined that ants have been farming fungi since shortly after the asteroid impact.”可知,第三段主要介绍了实验中用到的实验方法, 包括收集、分析、比较。故选A。 3.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“‘Somehow, over the course of 66 million years, they’ve been able to continue to control crop disease and develop antibiotics that continue to be effective,’ Schultz told Newsweek. ‘We’ve only been using antibiotics for less than 100 years and we have major problems keeping up with resistance and developing new antibiotics.’”可知, Schultz认为,人类在保持抗生素的持续有效性方面不如蚂蚁,因此以后的研究应集中在这一领域,Schultz可能会同意这一观点。故选C。 4.D　主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其由第一段“While humans may think of agriculture as a uniquely human achievement, ants have been farming their own food for millions of years, a new study has revealed. Researchers found that ants began farming fungi (真菌) 66 million years ago, around the time an asteroid (小行星) struck Earth and caused a global mass extinction.”可知,蚂蚁很早就开始种植“粮食”。文章围绕这一观点展开,所以D选项“蚂蚁早在人类之前就掌握了农业”符合题意。故选D。 Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了树木如何通过保持距离来维持生物多样性,以及背后的Janzen-Connell假说。 1.themselves　考查代词。本空用反身代词themselves,作organize的宾语。故填themselves。 2.fields　考查名词复数。根据前面的100可知,此处应用名词field的复数形式。故填fields。 3.typically　考查副词。本空用副词typically,修饰动词travel,作状语。故填typically。 4.nearest　考查形容词最高级。由句意可知,本空用near的最高级形式nearest,表示“最近的”。故填nearest。 5.Compared　考查非谓语动词。本句谓语为has,此处为非谓语动词,且each tree与compare为被动关系,应用过去分词,作状语,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Compared。 6.In　考查介词。本空用介词in,固定短语in other words表示“换句话说”,位于句首,首字母大写。故填In。 7.be explained　考查动词语态。主语this与explain为被动关系,应用be explained,表被动,位于情态动词can后,be动词用原形。故填be explained。 8.natural　考查形容词。本空用形容词natural,作前置定语,修饰名词enemies。故填natural。 9.that/which　考查定语从句。本空引导限制性定语从句,先行词是pathogens,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。 10.why　考查主语从句。本空引导主语从句,从句缺少原因状语,用连接副词why引导,表示“为什么”。故填why。 Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要讲述作者发现一株在岩石下顽强生长的向日葵,由此感悟到人类也应像向日葵一样坚定信念、克服阻碍,最终获得成长与支持的道理。 1.A　根据后文to get it looking like it does today可知,整理院子需要投入大量精力,energy符合“付出努力打理事物”的语境。故选A项。energy精力;tax税收;debt债务;career事业。 2.C　根据后文“We decided to let it continue growing until we could…what it was.”可知,作者一开始不确定植物的种类,即“没能认出它”,recognize符合语境。故选C项。forget忘记;predict预测;recognize认出;see看见。 3.D　根据前文“I knew I didn’t plant it…”可知,作者确认自己没种过这株植物,此处是丹尼丝表示她也没种过,claimed体现“明确说明自身情况”的语义,符合语境。故选D项。illustrate说明;advertise宣传;demonstrate证明;claim声称,宣称。 4.B　根据前文could not immediately可知,作者和妻子需要等植物长大才能弄明白它的种类,figure out与recognize形成语义呼应。故选B项。make up编造;figure out弄清楚;put down放下;take in吸收。 5.A　根据前文“Last summer I found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately…”可知,作者和妻子都不知道这株植物的来历,因此它对他们来说是“神秘的”,mysterious符合语境。故选A项。mysterious神秘的;identical相同的;outstanding杰出的;realistic现实的。 6.B　根据后文“The sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk (茎) begin.”可知,向日葵的生长位置超出了作者的预期,是一件“不寻常的事”,unusual符合语境。故选B项。critical关键的;unusual不寻常的;universal普遍的;accurate准确的。 7.C　前文提到作者以为向日葵是从茎部显现的地方开始生长的,后文揭示其真正的生长位置在石头下,actually用于强调事实与表象的差异,符合语境。故选C项。slowly缓慢地;carefully仔细地;actually实际上;sadly悲伤地。 8.A　根据后文作者由向日葵的生长经历得出的人生感悟可知,在发现向日葵生长的真相时,作者意识到了一个道理,realized符合“领悟,意识到”的语境。故选 A 项。realize意识到;find 发现;demand 要求;suggest建议。 9.B　根据后文doing the same thing以及we are able可知,向日葵能克服石头的阻碍生长,作者由此联想到人类也有这样的“能力”,capability符合“从植物的行为类比人类潜力”的逻辑。故选B项。curiosity好奇心;capability能力;reality现实;security安全。 10.D　根据后文“…the same nutrition and grow as well.”可知,向日葵从土壤中获得滋养,作者类比人类相信自己时也能“获得”成长所需的支持与滋养,get符合语境。故选D项。miss错过;pass通过;keep保持;get获得。 11.A　根据后文“…we are able to achieve our desires.”可知,“相信自己”与“知道自己能实现愿望”是递进关系,knowing体现对自身能力的明确认知,符合语境。故选A项。know知道;ignore忽视;doubt怀疑;wonder想知道。 12.D　前文“…had begun under a big rock.”提到向日葵突破石头的阻碍生长,即“克服了困难”,overcome与difficulty搭配,符合语境。故选D项。display展示;witness目睹;investigate调查;overcome克服。 13.C　根据前文trusted the universal truth可知,向日葵对自己的成功抱有坚定的“信念”,faith与trusted语义一致。故选C项。liberty自由;responsibility责任;faith信念;anxiety焦虑。 14.B　向日葵在石头下顽强生长,体现了“坚强”的品质,作者呼吁人们像它一样坚强,strong符合对向日葵精神的提炼。故选B项。still静止的;strong坚强的;safe安全的;lost迷失的。 15.D　前文提到向日葵获得了生长所需的滋养,作者类比人类坚定信念后,也会得到环境的“支持”,support与前文get the same nutrition形成语义呼应。故选D项。pay支付;challenge挑战;forgive原谅;support支持。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
