W: Genie lived in an ocean reserve, and then she traveled halfway to Hawaii twice and circled all over the place in the area in between. This journey by our girl Genie was impressive. It turned out to be the longest silky shark journey on record. M: Did researchers know that sharks could travel so far? W: Other sharks that live there don’t travel that far. So it was actually kind of a surprise. M: Genie was in an ocean reserve with lots of food. So why leave? W: It could have been to find better food or to give birth. But the tracking system could help researchers answer that question one day. M: OK. Well, before we move on to some clever and interesting whales with big brains, let’s have a rest and enjoy a new song. （本题4.5分）听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 18．(1.5分)What is the height of Hercules? A．Around 3.6 meters. B．Around 2 meters. C．Around 1 meter. 19．(1.5分)What is on the endangered species list? A．The kakapo. B．The kiwi. C．The moa. 20．(1.5分)When did Hercules live in New Zealand? A．About 15 million years ago. B．About 19 million years ago. C．About 8 million years ago. 【答案】18．C 19．A 20．B 【原文】 M: Scientists have found fossils that once belonged to a giant parrot. They say the fossilized bones are from the biggest parrot that ever lived. It was probably as tall as a three-year-old child and weighed around eight kilograms. The researchers found the fossils in New Zealand. They have called the new parrot Hercules, after a strongman of ancient Greek legends. The scientists studied the fossilized leg bones they found and said Hercules was around a metre tall. This means Hercules is twice the size of all other known parrots. The largest parrot scientists know of is the kakapo, a flightless bird that also lives in New Zealand. The kakapo is on the critically endangered species list. New Zealand is famous for its flightless birds. The kiwi is a symbol of the country. Scientists say these are vulnerable. This means they could become endangered if their environment stays the same. Another famous New Zealand bird is the 3.6-metre-tall moa. These flightless birds were the biggest birds that ever lived. They were overhunted to extinction early in the 15th century. Hercules lived about 19 million years ago. A researcher said it probably ate nuts, fruit and seeds, and “perhaps even other parrots”. A researcher said, “New Zealand is well known for its giant birds. Until now, no one has ever found an extinct giant parrot, anywhere. There are many more unexpected species yet to be discovered.” 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Creating a Habitat for Bees Why not observe some insects in a habitat you built yourself? Build a bee hotel using a glass jar to provide a safe nesting place for solitary bees. This project helps kids learn about bee habitats, the importance of pollinators (传花粉者), and biodiversity.Materials Needed Clean glass jar (mason jar or similar), paper, scissors, string or wire, and tape (optional).Steps 1. Prepare your paper tubes: Cut and roll your paper into tubes to a length slightly shorter than the height of the glass jar. Ensure the ends are smooth and open. The bees will go into these tubes, so the tubes should be about half an inch in width. 2. Fill the jar: Pack paper tubes tightly into the jar, making sure they fit tightly and do not fall out. The tubes should be arranged so that the open ends face outward. 3. Hang the bee hotel: Attach string or wire around the neck of the jar, forming a loop (圈) for hanging. Choose a location that is sheltered from heavy rain and direct wind but receives plenty of sunlight, such as under the eaves of a building or on a tree branch. 4. Monitor and maintain: Check the bee hotel regularly to ensure it remains undamaged and clean. Replace any damaged or blocked tube as needed.Science Concepts Bee habitats: Learn about the natural nesting preferences of solitary bees and how creating suitable habitats can support their populations. Pollination: Understand the crucial role bees play in pollination and maintaining biodiversity in ecosystems. Conservation: Explore the importance of conserving pollinator species and promoting biodiversity through small-scale interventions like building bee hotels. Ecology: Gain insights into the interactions between living organisms and their environment, emphasizing the interconnectedness of ecosystems. 21．(2.5分)Who is this project intended for? A．Young learners. B．Urban planners. C．Experienced farmers. D．Professional ecologists. 22．(2.5分)What can we infer about the paper tubes used in building a bee hotel? A．They must be completely closed at one end. B．They need to be replaced on a weekly basis. C．Their width is less important than their length. D．Their openings should stay uncovered and accessible. 23．(2.5分)What is a key ecological insight children can gain from the project? A．The value of teamwork among insects. B．The harm caused by chemical pollution. C．The link between species and surroundings. D．The method of picking artificial nests for bees. 【答案】21．A 22．D 23．C 【导语】文章主要介绍了用玻璃罐为独居蜜蜂建造栖息地（蜂屋）的步骤、所需材料及相关科学概念。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据第一段中“This project helps kids learn about bee habitats, the importance of pollinators, and biodiversity.(这个项目帮助孩子们了解蜜蜂栖息地、传粉者的重要性以及生物多样性)”可知，该项目面向的是年轻的学习者（孩子们）。 22．推理判断题。根据Steps第2点中“The tubes should be arranged so that the open ends face outward.(管子应排列成开口朝外)”及第1点中“The bees will go into these tubes, so the tubes should be about half an inch in width.(蜜蜂会进入这些管子，所以管子的宽度应该是半英寸左右)”可知，纸管的开口应保持敞开且可进入。 23．细节理解题。根据Science Concepts中Ecology部分“Gain insights into the interactions between living organisms and their environment, emphasizing the interconnectedness of ecosystems.(深入了解生物与其环境之间的相互作用，强调生态系统的相互联系)”可知，孩子们能获得的关键生态见解是物种与周围环境之间的联系。 （本题10分）I’ve had 35 close meetings with polar bears as an explorer. Over the years, I’ve never hurt a bear. But there was one occasion when the closest thing to hand was a saucepan (平底锅). In 1990, I was in Spitsbergen. Spitsbergen has a high concentration of polar bears in the spring. When a bear is hungry, it can smell you from many miles away. I’d been waking up at night repeatedly because I thought I’d heard the crunch (嘎吱声) of bear walking. Checking was not easy. There would be thick ice on the inside of my tent. If my fingers got out of the sleeping bag for too long, I would get hurt. The easiest way to check for bears was to get on my knees while still inside the sleeping bag, open the tent, and stick my head out to view around. Often, there was nothing. On the day it happened, I’d cooked in a saucepan. When I turned it off, there was silence at first. Then, I heard crunching. Because of the previous false alarms, I felt quite nonchalant as I opened the tent’s entrance. It was a shock to see a huge polar bear facing me. So my hand reached for the nearest thing — the saucepan. I hit the bear as hard as I could on its head. I clearly remember it turning its head to one side. I think the noise of the saucepan scared it as much as the impact. As I wondered whether to hit it again, it turned round and ran out of sight. As a young adventurer, I used to feel it was me against my surroundings, but then I realized I could work with nature. Most crucially, you need to remember bears have more of a right to be there than you. 24．(2.5分)Why was the author unable to sleep well in Spitsbergen? A．He came across bears frequently. B．He was once attacked by a bear. C．He camped in a bear-heavy area. D．He was often woken up by bears. 25．(2.5分)How did the author find polar bears? A．By breaking the ice coating. B．By walking around the tent. C．By looking out from the tent. D．By viewing through a telescope. 26．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “nonchalant” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Calm. B．Surprised. C．Nervous. D．Excited. 27．(2.5分)What did the polar bear do after the hit? A．It turned its head to avoid the hit. B．It let out a loud noise. C．It stared at the author hard. D．It escaped quickly. 【答案】24．C 25．C 26．A 27．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者是一位探险家，他曾多次接触北极熊。有一次，他用平底锅击退了近在咫尺的北极熊。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第二段“When a bear is hungry, it can smell you from many miles away. I’d been waking up at night repeatedly because I thought I’d heard the crunch (嘎吱声) of bear walking.(当一只北极熊感到饥饿时，它能从很远的地方闻到你的气味。我曾多次在夜间醒来，因为我以为自己听到了北极熊行走时发出的嘎吱声)”可知，作者睡不好是因为他当时驻扎在北极熊的聚集地。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“The easiest way to check for bears was to get on my knees while still inside the sleeping bag, open the tent, and stick my head out to view around.(检查是否有熊出现最简单的方法是：先跪在睡袋里，然后打开帐篷，把头探出帐篷外面看看四周的情况)”可知，作者通过从帐篷内向外看的方式来查看是否有熊。故选C。 26．词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Because of the previous false alarms(由于之前的几次虚惊)”可知，作者在此之前已经经历过好几次虚惊。由此可以推断，作者这次在打开帐篷入口时是淡定的。画线词的词义为“冷静的；淡定的”。故选A。 27．细节理解题。根据第五段“As I wondered whether to hit it again, it turned round and ran out of sight.(正当我犹豫是否要再击打它时，它转过身跑开了，消失在视线之外)”可知，北极熊在被平底锅打了之后迅速逃走了。故选D。 （本题10分）What is your ideal garden? Perhaps you’re thinking of beautiful flowers, inviting paths and insects eating the plants. While it sounds odd, insects are integral to holistic gardening, a gardening method that uses native plants to better our local ecosystems. “As we think about garden design, we often start with the color palette, the amount of sunlight and the soil conditions,” says Mark Konlock, Director of Horticulture at Green Bay Botanical Gardens. “The holistic approach takes those concepts and adds another layer to provide value for insects and other parts of the ecosystem.” This begins with choosing plants that have evolved in your local conditions. “With natives, you’re able to reduce the amount of upkeep and have plants that stand extreme conditions, like drought or wet soils,” he explains. “Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.” Looking at the big picture, those benefits overflow into the environment. An example is plants that like wet soil; they can be added to a rain garden to filter (过滤) the groundwater and reduce runoff. And when you don’t use pesticides in the garden, you can focus on letting insects grow. Of course, tolerating all kinds of insects takes some effort. “We’re used to avoiding insect damage in our gardens, so it takes a bit of retraining our minds to help us see the value of letting those insects eat the plants,” Mark says. Chewing insects serve as prey for other members of the ecosystem, such as birds, and in many species, those that survive the larval stage develop into pollinators (授粉者) that we like to see. As pollinators continue losing habitat, it becomes more vital to assist them, as they’re responsible for one-third of our food supply. 28．(2.5分)What is an advantage of holistic gardening? A．It can make plants more inviting. B．It can enhance local ecosystems. C．It can popularize gardening. D．It can control the reproduction of insects. 29．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “upkeep” mean in paragraph 3? A．Design. B．Improvement. C．Decoration. D．Maintenance. 30．(2.5分)What do we know about native plants from the text? A．They are beneficial to the environment. B．They are sensitive to various pesticides. C．They can help to filter the drinking water. D．They need more light compared to foreign plants. 31．(2.5分)What message does the last paragraph mainly convey? A．Birds are responsible for our food supply. B．Pollinators face threats of losing their habitats. C．People should avoid insect damage in gardens. D．Insects play an important role in the food chain. 【答案】28．B 29．D 30．A 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了整体园艺法，包括其理念、优势、对本地植物的选择以及对昆虫的包容态度等。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“While it sounds odd, insects are integral to holistic gardening, a gardening method that uses native plants to better our local ecosystems.(虽然这听起来很奇怪，但昆虫是整体园艺的组成部分，整体园艺是一种利用本地植物来改善我们当地生态系统的园艺方法)”可知，整体园艺法利用本地植物来改善我们当地的生态系统，这是它的优势。故选B项。 29．词句猜测题。根据第三段中““With natives, you’re able to reduce the amount of upkeep and have plants that stand extreme conditions, like drought or wet soils,” he explains. “Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.”(他解释说：“种植本地植物，你就可以减少upkeep工作量，有能适应极端环境的植物，比如干旱或潮湿的土壤。一旦这些植物种植好，你就不需要给它们浇水、施肥或使用杀虫剂。”)”可知，本地植物只要种植好，就不需要给它们浇水、施肥或使用杀虫剂，可以减少维护工作量。由此推知，划线词upkeep意为“维护，保养”，与D项“Maintenance”意思相近。故选D项。 30．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.(一旦这些植物种植好，你就不需要给它们浇水、施肥或使用杀虫剂)”和“Looking at the big picture, those benefits overflow into the environment. An example is plants that like wet soil; they can be added to a rain garden to filter (过滤) the groundwater and reduce runoff. And when you don’t use pesticides in the garden, you can focus on letting insects grow.(从宏观视角看，这些益处最终将惠及整个生态环境。以喜湿植物为例，将其引入雨水花园能过滤地下水、减少径流。当你不在花园里使用杀虫剂时，实际上是在为昆虫创造繁衍生息的空间)”可知，本地植物对环境有益。故选A项。 31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Chewing insects serve as prey for other members of the ecosystem, such as birds, and in many species, those that survive the larval stage develop into pollinators (授粉者) that we like to see. As pollinators continue losing habitat, it becomes more vital to assist them, as they’re responsible for one-third of our food supply.(咀嚼类昆虫既是生态系统中鸟类等其他成员的食物来源，其存活过幼虫期的个体更会蜕变为我们乐见的授粉者。随着授粉昆虫栖息地持续减少，助力其生存变得愈发关键——毕竟全球三分之一的食物供应都依赖它们完成)”可知，最后一段主要介绍了昆虫在食物链中扮演着重要的角色。故选D项。 （本题10分）San Francisco Bay is busy with ferries, cargo ships, and tankers. It is also becoming a dangerous place for whales. To reduce accidents, scientists have developed distinct tech-based means to guard whales from varied ocean threats. One key measure is an AI-powered detection network called WhaleSpotter. The system scans the bay day and night for whale blows and heat signatures up to two nautical miles away. When a whale is detected, mariners receive alerts by radio and can slow down or change course. The need for such technology is urgent. Last year, 21 dead gray whales were found in the Bay Area — the highest number in 25 years. At least 40% were killed by ship strikes. Scientists say the true number is likely higher because many bodies sink or are swept out to sea. Gray whales traditionally migrate (迁徙) 12,000 miles between Mexico and the Arctic. But instead of simply passing offshore, more whales are now entering San Francisco Bay and staying for days or even weeks. Scientists link this shift to climate change. Warming temperatures and changes in Arctic sea ice have destroyed the food web, leaving many whales weak from hunger. Now, many whales gather in a busy shipping corridor near Angel Island and Alcatraz, directly sharing the same sea route as ships. WhaleSpotter has already been used in other countries, but San Francisco’s network is the first to integrate land-based and ship-mounted detections with official mariner alerts. Thermal cameras work at night and in fog, offering constant monitoring. Researchers hope to add more cameras on the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz to expand coverage. Gray whales are not the only whales at risk. Warming oceans push humpback whales closer to shore, where crab (螃蟹) fisheries operate. Whales can become caught in vertical lines, leading to starvation or drowning. California has now approved ropeless pop-up crab pots, which store ropes on the seafloor until fishermen set off a sound release. This technology allows crabbing to continue while greatly reducing risks to whales. As climate change reshapes ocean conditions, scientists say adaptive, science-driven solutions will be essential. 32．(2.5分)How do sailors respond to the whale warnings? A．They carry out research on sea animals. B．They give up work and sail away at once. C．They reduce speed or adjust sailing paths. D．They shut down the cameras immediately. 33．(2.5分)What does the author explain in paragraph 3? A．Why more whales enter the bay. B．Why Arctic food webs break down. C．How climate change affects sea routes. D．How gray whales look for new habitats. 34．(2.5分)What can be learned about San Francisco’s WhaleSpotter network? A．It doesn’t work at night. B．It is fixed only on large ships. C．It combines two kinds of detections. D．It has been used worldwide for years. 35．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．Climate Changes Reshape Oceans B．New Ways to Protect Whales in the Bay C．Whales Migrate Across the Sea D．Advanced AI for Shipping Management 【答案】32．C 33．A 34．C 35．B 【导语】文章主要介绍了旧金山海湾因船只往来频繁导致鲸鱼遭遇事故风险升高，科学家研发了鲸鱼监测系统等多项科技手段保护鲸鱼，分析了鲸鱼频繁进入海湾的原因，并介绍了新型捕蟹工具以降低鲸鱼生存威胁。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据原文第一段“When a whale is detected, mariners receive alerts by radio and can slow down or change course. (一旦监测到鲸鱼，船员会收到无线电警报，并可以减速或改变航线。)”可知，船员收到鲸鱼预警后会降低航行速度或调整航行路线。 33．主旨大意题。根据原文第三段“But instead of simply passing offshore, more whales are now entering San Francisco Bay and staying for days or even weeks. Scientists link this shift to climate change. (但现在更多的鲸鱼不再只是从近海经过，而是进入旧金山海湾并停留数日甚至数周。科学家将这一变化归因于气候变化。)”可知，第三段主要解释了越来越多鲸鱼进入海湾的原因。 34．细节理解题。根据原文第四段“WhaleSpotter has already been used in other countries, but San Francisco’s network is the first to integrate land-based and ship-mounted detections with official mariner alerts. (鲸鱼监测技术已在其他国家应用，但旧金山的监测网络首次将陆地监测和船舶监测与官方船员警报相结合。)”可知，旧金山的鲸鱼监测网络结合了两种监测方式。 35．主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“To reduce accidents, scientists have developed distinct tech-based means to guard whales from varied ocean threats. (为了减少事故，科学家研发了多种科技手段保护鲸鱼免受各类海洋威胁。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了科学家研发了鲸鱼监测系统等多项科技手段保护鲸鱼，分析了鲸鱼频繁进入海湾的原因，并介绍了新型捕蟹工具以降低鲸鱼生存威胁，最佳标题为“保护海湾鲸鱼的各类新型科技方法”。 （本题12.5分）Many people enjoy having plants inside their homes, especially when it is cold outside. But sometimes houseplants need a little help. 36(2.5分) They show discolored leaves, and their stems droop (下垂) — or no longer stand strong or tall. And there will be little or no growth. A good way to help renew tired houseplants is by giving them a plant “haircut.” In the gardening world, cutting back plants is called “pruning.” 37(2.5分) Diana Alfuth is a gardening expert at the University of Wisconsin. She says pruning helps with shaping, removing dead matter, and keeping the plants from drooping. Pruning is also a way to start new plants. You can take the cuttings from pruning and grow new plants. 38(2.5分) So is the timing of when you give them fertilizers — nutrients for growth. “Houseplants should not be fertilized during winter when days are short,” Alfuth said. “Fertilize in late winter as days get longer and plants wake up and will need fertilizer to put on growth during spring.” Watering plants too much is a leading cause of losing houseplants. So, be careful not to overwater. “Plants lose oxygen when they get too much water,” Pettinelli said. 39(2.5分) Check to see if your plants’ roots are overgrown in the bottom of the pot. 40(2.5分) But be sure the pots have holes cut in the bottoms so that extra water can get out. A．Pruning serves many needs. B．A houseplant’s diet is important. C．Especially the roots — they’ll drown. D．And they will not flower if they are hot. E．Pruning then results in strong new growth. F．If they are struggling, they will let you know. G．That means you should re-pot the plant in a new, larger pot. 【答案】36．F 37．A 38．B 39．C 40．G 【导语】文章介绍了室内盆栽的养护技巧，包括修剪、把握施肥时机、适度浇水以及根系过密时换盆，以此帮助盆栽健康生长。 【详解】36．后文“They show discolored leaves, and their stems droop (下垂) — or no longer stand strong or tall. And there will be little or no growth. (它们的叶片会变色，茎干下垂，不再挺拔高耸，并且几乎不再生长。)”描述植物叶片变色、茎下垂等异常状态，对应F选项“If they are struggling, they will let you know. (如果植物挣扎生存，它们会让你知道。)”，衔接自然。 37．后文“Diana Alfuth is a gardening expert at the University of Wisconsin. She says pruning helps with shaping, removing dead matter, and keeping the plants from drooping. Pruning is also a way to start new plants. You can take the cuttings from pruning and grow new plants. (戴安娜・阿尔富思是威斯康星大学的一名园艺专家。她表示修剪可以帮助修整株型、去除枯死部分，还能防止植物下垂倒伏。修剪也是培育新植株的一种方式，你可以利用修剪下来的枝条培育新的植物。)”介绍了修剪可塑形、去除枯死部分、防止倒伏、培育新植株等多种作用，对应A选项“Pruning serves many needs. (修剪可满足多种需求。)”，总领下文。 38．空处为本段的主题句，后文“So is the timing of when you give them fertilizers — nutrients for growth. ‘Houseplants should not be fertilized during winter when days are short,’ Alfuth said. ‘Fertilize in late winter as days get longer and plants wake up and will need fertilizer to put on growth during spring.’ (施肥的时机同样重要，肥料就是植物生长所需的养分。阿尔富思说：‘冬季白昼较短，不要给室内盆栽施肥。等到冬末白昼变长，植物苏醒过来，需要为春天的生长供给养分，这时再施肥。’)”围绕施肥的时机展开，施肥属于植物的养分供给，对应B选项“A houseplant’s diet is important. (室内盆栽的养分供给很重要。)”，契合段落主题。 39．前文“Watering plants too much is a leading cause of losing houseplants. So, be careful not to overwater. ‘Plants lose oxygen when they get too much water,’ Pettinelli said. (浇水过多是造成室内盆栽死亡的主要原因，所以切记不要过度浇水。佩蒂内利说：‘浇水过多时，植物会缺氧。’)”提及浇水过多会让植物缺氧，C选项“Especially the roots — they’ll drown.

The aquarium was home to a wide variety of ocean creatures, attracting countless visitors who were amazed at the colourful tropical (热带的) fish, slow-moving seahorses, graceful jellyfish, and intelligent dolphins. However, the aquarium had to go through a major restoration, and as of (自……起) December 1st last year, it closed its doors to the public. The construction was expected to last until the summer, with the entire project taking more than six months to complete. Without visitors, the aquarium grew extremely quiet and felt like an empty space. The animals, who were used to human interaction every day, now saw very few human faces, only the familiar caretakers. Something strange began to happen. The dolphins, once energetic and lively, seemed tired, lacking the usual enthusiasm they had for play. One morning, after the caretaker Amanda threw small fish into the dolphins’ tank, the dolphins swam lazily to the tank walls and barely showed any interest in their favourite meals. They stared blankly into the distance, their usual excitement absent. “Something’s not right,” Amanda whispered to herself. Dr Harris was called in to investigate. He examined the dolphins and initially suspected digestive issues. “Perhaps we should reduce their food intake,” he suggested. “Give them smaller amounts of food and see if that helps with any potential digestive discomfort.” But after a few days, there was no improvement. The dolphins continued to suffer, showing no interest in food or play. Disappointed and worried, John, a senior caretaker, gathered the team. “What should we do?” he asked. his voice filled with concern. Then, one of the caretakers posed an idea: “Could it be that the dolphins are lonely without the visitors?” Paragraph 1: While everyone was doubtful, they decided to try something, starting with printing some pictures of human faces. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As the dolphins started to recover, the staff became more creative in their efforts. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: While everyone was doubtful, they decided to try something, starting with printing some pictures of human faces. They stuck these photos on the outer glass of the dolphin tank, hoping to create a lively atmosphere for the lonely dolphins. To the staff’s surprise, the dolphins gradually became active. They swam curiously towards the photos, touching the glass gently and chasing around the tank again. Days later, they regained their appetite and finished every meal happily. It turned out that lack of human company was exactly what made them depressed.Paragraph 2: As the dolphins started to recover, the staff became more creative in their efforts. They recorded cheering sounds and uploaded daily interaction videos to play in the aquarium. Some staff even took turns standing by the tank, talking and playing with the dolphins patiently. Gradually, the dolphins totally recovered their liveliness and enthusiasm. This meaningful experience taught the team a precious lesson: intelligent animals like dolphins need not only food and shelter but also companionship and spiritual care to live happily. 【导语】本文讲述水族馆因翻新关闭，失去游客互动的海豚逐渐变得萎靡、厌食、失去活力，工作人员排查后排除肠胃问题，最终猜测海豚是因孤独情绪低落；工作人员尝试用真人照片陪伴海豚，成功改善海豚状态，并不断创新陪伴方式，最终帮助海豚完全康复。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句可知，工作人员虽心存疑虑，仍尝试张贴人脸照片为海豚营造热闹氛围；原本消沉厌食的海豚重新变得好奇活跃、恢复食欲，证实海豚低落的根源是缺少人类陪伴、精神孤独。 ② 由第二段首句可知，海豚好转后，工作人员创新陪伴方式，播放人声、轮流陪伴互动；海豚彻底恢复往日活力，团队收获感悟：高智商海洋动物不仅需要物质生存保障，更需要情感陪伴与精神关怀。 2. 续写线索：张贴人脸照片尝试补救——海豚逐渐活跃、恢复食欲——验证孤独致病萎靡——工作人员创新多种陪伴方式——海豚彻底康复——团队反思、领悟动物需要精神关怀 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 粘贴：stick/attach ②轮流：take turns/rotate 情绪类 ① 孤独的：lonely/isolated ②快乐地：happily/joyfully 【点睛】[高分句型1] They swam curiously towards the photos, touching the glass gently and chasing around the tank again.（运用了现在分词作伴随状语） [高分句型2] This meaningful experience taught the team a precious lesson: intelligent animals like dolphins need not only food and shelter but also companionship and spiritual care to live happily.（运用了not only...but also...连接并列结构） 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Wow, you're walking your dog again.

This means they could become endangered if their environment stays the same. Another famous new zealand bird is the three point six meter tall moa. These flightless birds were the biggest birds that ever lived. They were over hunted to extinction early in the fifteen century. Hercules lived about nineteen million years ago, a researcher said, IT, probably eight nuts, fruit and seeds, and perhaps even other parts. A researcher said, new zealand is well known for its giant birds. Until now, no one has ever found an extinct giant parent anywhere. There are many more unexpected species yet to be discovered. 听力部分到此结束。 高中英语单元测试 —— Unit 2 Wildlife Protection 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What makes the man appreciate his dog?

Build a bee hotel using a glass jar to provide a safe nesting place for solitary bees. This project helps kids learn about bee habitats, the importance of pollinators (传花粉者), and biodiversity.Materials Needed Clean glass jar (mason jar or similar), paper, scissors, string or wire, and tape (optional).Steps 1. Prepare your paper tubes: Cut and roll your paper into tubes to a length slightly shorter than the height of the glass jar. Ensure the ends are smooth and open. The bees will go into these tubes, so the tubes should be about half an inch in width. 2. Fill the jar: Pack paper tubes tightly into the jar, making sure they fit tightly and do not fall out. The tubes should be arranged so that the open ends face outward. 3. Hang the bee hotel: Attach string or wire around the neck of the jar, forming a loop (圈) for hanging. Choose a location that is sheltered from heavy rain and direct wind but receives plenty of sunlight, such as under the eaves of a building or on a tree branch. 4. Monitor and maintain: Check the bee hotel regularly to ensure it remains undamaged and clean. Replace any damaged or blocked tube as needed.Science Concepts Bee habitats: Learn about the natural nesting preferences of solitary bees and how creating suitable habitats can support their populations. Pollination: Understand the crucial role bees play in pollination and maintaining biodiversity in ecosystems. Conservation: Explore the importance of conserving pollinator species and promoting biodiversity through small-scale interventions like building bee hotels. Ecology: Gain insights into the interactions between living organisms and their environment, emphasizing the interconnectedness of ecosystems. 21．(2.5分)Who is this project intended for? A．Young learners. B．Urban planners. C．Experienced farmers. D．Professional ecologists. 22．(2.5分)What can we infer about the paper tubes used in building a bee hotel? A．They must be completely closed at one end. B．They need to be replaced on a weekly basis. C．Their width is less important than their length. D．Their openings should stay uncovered and accessible. 23．(2.5分)What is a key ecological insight children can gain from the project? A．The value of teamwork among insects. B．The harm caused by chemical pollution. C．The link between species and surroundings. D．The method of picking artificial nests for bees. （本题10分）I’ve had 35 close meetings with polar bears as an explorer. Over the years, I’ve never hurt a bear. But there was one occasion when the closest thing to hand was a saucepan (平底锅). In 1990, I was in Spitsbergen. Spitsbergen has a high concentration of polar bears in the spring. When a bear is hungry, it can smell you from many miles away. I’d been waking up at night repeatedly because I thought I’d heard the crunch (嘎吱声) of bear walking. Checking was not easy. There would be thick ice on the inside of my tent. If my fingers got out of the sleeping bag for too long, I would get hurt. The easiest way to check for bears was to get on my knees while still inside the sleeping bag, open the tent, and stick my head out to view around. Often, there was nothing. On the day it happened, I’d cooked in a saucepan. When I turned it off, there was silence at first. Then, I heard crunching. Because of the previous false alarms, I felt quite nonchalant as I opened the tent’s entrance. It was a shock to see a huge polar bear facing me. So my hand reached for the nearest thing — the saucepan. I hit the bear as hard as I could on its head. I clearly remember it turning its head to one side. I think the noise of the saucepan scared it as much as the impact. As I wondered whether to hit it again, it turned round and ran out of sight. As a young adventurer, I used to feel it was me against my surroundings, but then I realized I could work with nature. Most crucially, you need to remember bears have more of a right to be there than you. 24．(2.5分)Why was the author unable to sleep well in Spitsbergen? A．He came across bears frequently. B．He was once attacked by a bear. C．He camped in a bear-heavy area. D．He was often woken up by bears. 25．(2.5分)How did the author find polar bears? A．By breaking the ice coating. B．By walking around the tent. C．By looking out from the tent. D．By viewing through a telescope. 26．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “nonchalant” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Calm. B．Surprised. C．Nervous. D．Excited. 27．(2.5分)What did the polar bear do after the hit? A．It turned its head to avoid the hit. B．It let out a loud noise. C．It stared at the author hard. D．It escaped quickly. （本题10分）What is your ideal garden? Perhaps you’re thinking of beautiful flowers, inviting paths and insects eating the plants. While it sounds odd, insects are integral to holistic gardening, a gardening method that uses native plants to better our local ecosystems. “As we think about garden design, we often start with the color palette, the amount of sunlight and the soil conditions,” says Mark Konlock, Director of Horticulture at Green Bay Botanical Gardens. “The holistic approach takes those concepts and adds another layer to provide value for insects and other parts of the ecosystem.” This begins with choosing plants that have evolved in your local conditions. “With natives, you’re able to reduce the amount of upkeep and have plants that stand extreme conditions, like drought or wet soils,” he explains. “Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.” Looking at the big picture, those benefits overflow into the environment. An example is plants that like wet soil; they can be added to a rain garden to filter (过滤) the groundwater and reduce runoff. And when you don’t use pesticides in the garden, you can focus on letting insects grow. Of course, tolerating all kinds of insects takes some effort. “We’re used to avoiding insect damage in our gardens, so it takes a bit of retraining our minds to help us see the value of letting those insects eat the plants,” Mark says. Chewing insects serve as prey for other members of the ecosystem, such as birds, and in many species, those that survive the larval stage develop into pollinators (授粉者) that we like to see. As pollinators continue losing habitat, it becomes more vital to assist them, as they’re responsible for one-third of our food supply. 28．(2.5分)What is an advantage of holistic gardening? A．It can make plants more inviting. B．It can enhance local ecosystems. C．It can popularize gardening. D．It can control the reproduction of insects. 29．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “upkeep” mean in paragraph 3? A．Design. B．Improvement. C．Decoration. D．Maintenance. 30．(2.5分)What do we know about native plants from the text? A．They are beneficial to the environment. B．They are sensitive to various pesticides. C．They can help to filter the drinking water. D．They need more light compared to foreign plants. 31．(2.5分)What message does the last paragraph mainly convey? A．Birds are responsible for our food supply. B．Pollinators face threats of losing their habitats. C．People should avoid insect damage in gardens. D．Insects play an important role in the food chain. （本题10分）San Francisco Bay is busy with ferries, cargo ships, and tankers. It is also becoming a dangerous place for whales. To reduce accidents, scientists have developed distinct tech-based means to guard whales from varied ocean threats. One key measure is an AI-powered detection network called WhaleSpotter. The system scans the bay day and night for whale blows and heat signatures up to two nautical miles away. When a whale is detected, mariners receive alerts by radio and can slow down or change course. The need for such technology is urgent. Last year, 21 dead gray whales were found in the Bay Area — the highest number in 25 years. At least 40% were killed by ship strikes. Scientists say the true number is likely higher because many bodies sink or are swept out to sea. Gray whales traditionally migrate (迁徙) 12,000 miles between Mexico and the Arctic. But instead of simply passing offshore, more whales are now entering San Francisco Bay and staying for days or even weeks. Scientists link this shift to climate change. Warming temperatures and changes in Arctic sea ice have destroyed the food web, leaving many whales weak from hunger. Now, many whales gather in a busy shipping corridor near Angel Island and Alcatraz, directly sharing the same sea route as ships. WhaleSpotter has already been used in other countries, but San Francisco’s network is the first to integrate land-based and ship-mounted detections with official mariner alerts. Thermal cameras work at night and in fog, offering constant monitoring. Researchers hope to add more cameras on the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz to expand coverage. Gray whales are not the only whales at risk. Warming oceans push humpback whales closer to shore, where crab (螃蟹) fisheries operate. Whales can become caught in vertical lines, leading to starvation or drowning. California has now approved ropeless pop-up crab pots, which store ropes on the seafloor until fishermen set off a sound release. This technology allows crabbing to continue while greatly reducing risks to whales. As climate change reshapes ocean conditions, scientists say adaptive, science-driven solutions will be essential. 32．(2.5分)How do sailors respond to the whale warnings? A．They carry out research on sea animals. B．They give up work and sail away at once. C．They reduce speed or adjust sailing paths. D．They shut down the cameras immediately. 33．(2.5分)What does the author explain in paragraph 3? A．Why more whales enter the bay. B．Why Arctic food webs break down. C．How climate change affects sea routes. D．How gray whales look for new habitats. 34．(2.5分)What can be learned about San Francisco’s WhaleSpotter network? A．It doesn’t work at night. B．It is fixed only on large ships. C．It combines two kinds of detections. D．It has been used worldwide for years. 35．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．Climate Changes Reshape Oceans B．New Ways to Protect Whales in the Bay C．Whales Migrate Across the Sea D．Advanced AI for Shipping Management （本题12.5分）Many people enjoy having plants inside their homes, especially when it is cold outside. But sometimes houseplants need a little help. 36(2.5分) They show discolored leaves, and their stems droop (下垂) — or no longer stand strong or tall. And there will be little or no growth. A good way to help renew tired houseplants is by giving them a plant “haircut.” In the gardening world, cutting back plants is called “pruning.” 37(2.5分) Diana Alfuth is a gardening expert at the University of Wisconsin. She says pruning helps with shaping, removing dead matter, and keeping the plants from drooping. Pruning is also a way to start new plants. You can take the cuttings from pruning and grow new plants. 38(2.5分) So is the timing of when you give them fertilizers — nutrients for growth. “Houseplants should not be fertilized during winter when days are short,” Alfuth said. “Fertilize in late winter as days get longer and plants wake up and will need fertilizer to put on growth during spring.” Watering plants too much is a leading cause of losing houseplants. So, be careful not to overwater. “Plants lose oxygen when they get too much water,” Pettinelli said. 39(2.5分) Check to see if your plants’ roots are overgrown in the bottom of the pot. 40(2.5分) But be sure the pots have holes cut in the bottoms so that extra water can get out. A．Pruning serves many needs. B．A houseplant’s diet is important. C．Especially the roots — they’ll drown. D．And they will not flower if they are hot. E．Pruning then results in strong new growth. F．If they are struggling, they will let you know. G．That means you should re-pot the plant in a new, larger pot. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Six years ago, Simon Dell began creating his “mouse village” when he spotted a wild mouse in his back garden.

The aquarium was home to a wide variety of ocean creatures, attracting countless visitors who were amazed at the colourful tropical (热带的) fish, slow-moving seahorses, graceful jellyfish, and intelligent dolphins. However, the aquarium had to go through a major restoration, and as of (自……起) December 1st last year, it closed its doors to the public. The construction was expected to last until the summer, with the entire project taking more than six months to complete. Without visitors, the aquarium grew extremely quiet and felt like an empty space. The animals, who were used to human interaction every day, now saw very few human faces, only the familiar caretakers. Something strange began to happen. The dolphins, once energetic and lively, seemed tired, lacking the usual enthusiasm they had for play. One morning, after the caretaker Amanda threw small fish into the dolphins’ tank, the dolphins swam lazily to the tank walls and barely showed any interest in their favourite meals. They stared blankly into the distance, their usual excitement absent. “Something’s not right,” Amanda whispered to herself. Dr Harris was called in to investigate. He examined the dolphins and initially suspected digestive issues. “Perhaps we should reduce their food intake,” he suggested. “Give them smaller amounts of food and see if that helps with any potential digestive discomfort.” But after a few days, there was no improvement. The dolphins continued to suffer, showing no interest in food or play. Disappointed and worried, John, a senior caretaker, gathered the team. “What should we do?” he asked. his voice filled with concern. Then, one of the caretakers posed an idea: “Could it be that the dolphins are lonely without the visitors?” Paragraph 1: While everyone was doubtful, they decided to try something, starting with printing some pictures of human faces. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As the dolphins started to recover, the staff became more creative in their efforts. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
