W: Actually, I don’t want a pet with long hair, like a cat or a dog. I don’t want a pet that could be dangerous, either, like a spider or a snake. M: How about ants? They are easy to look after. Come here and have a look. You only need to put the ants into a glass box. The box is filled with special soil, so you don’t need to feed them. The most interesting part is that you can watch the ants digging roads in the soil. W: It sounds good. Do you sell both the ants and the box?     M: Yes. W: How many ants should I get at least? M: Eight at least. They can live three to six months. W: Thanks a lot. I will find out more online and come here next week.

B．The promotion of the culture of pet ownership. C．The protection of homeless animals. 【答案】18．B 19．C 20．C 【原文】 W: Hundreds of pet lovers and owners gathered on Egypt’s Mediterranean North Coast in Matrouh Governorate for an annual pet carnival. It provides pet lovers and owners with a chance to meet experts in pet care, breeding and nutrition. “This is the first time to organize it on the North Coast, which is a plus for us,” said Nadine Hamdy, marketing manager of the carnival. The event includes activities of pet medication and training, and offers a number of recreational activities for pets, such as swimming and shows. For Adam Kilani, a visitor from neighboring Alexandria Governorate, the event was an unforgettable experience, as his five-year-old pet dog Gawaher had learnt to swim for the first time. “It is a great chance for me to learn about pet care in an amusing way,” Kilani said. “Holding such events, especially in tourist resorts during the summer, will significantly promote the culture of pet ownership in Egypt.” Lina Kamal, who brought her three-year-old dog to the carnival, said the event was important because it raised the issue of street animals and offered solutions to their sad situation. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Recommended Books for Earth Month 2026 One indirect outcome of Earth Day was the collective decision to protect the wildlife we live with and to cope with the resulting tensions. Here are three of the many titles gathered for this 2026 Earth Month bookshelf. My Life with Wolves: How I Became the Storyteller for the Yellowstone Packs by Rick McIntyre (Greystone Books, 2026, 296 pages, $30.00) Former park ranger (护林人) Rick McIntyre shares decades of wisdom from observing wolves in Yellowstone. He narrates how he narrowly missed a deer’s charge and watched alpha wolves battle for territory. More importantly, this memoir explains how the wolves’ calm assertiveness shaped his own values. The Company of Owls: A Memoir by Polly Atkin (Milkweed Editions, 2026, 216 pages, $25.00) Restricted by illness to her cottage in England’s Lake District, Polly Atkin finds companionship in a family of owls living nearby. As she watches them grow, she reflects on survival and solitude. The owls, she writes, taught her to listen carefully to the world around her. Outsider Animals: How the Creatures at the Margin of Our Lives Have the Most to Teach Us by Marlene Zuk (Princeton University Press, 2026, 312 pages, $29.95) Biologist Marlene Zuk shifts our focus to creatures we frequently overlook — such as snakes, cockroaches, butterflies and other little-known species. With wit and genuine curiosity, she reveals what cockroaches can teach us about evolution, how butterflies reshape our understanding of pollution, and why even unpopular animals offer profound lessons. 21．(2.5分)What does Rick McIntyre mainly convey in his book? A．Observing wolves helped him develop his personal beliefs. B．His career as a park ranger was filled with unexpected risks. C．The Yellowstone wolf packs have complex social structures. D．Humans should always keep a safe distance from wild animals. 22．(2.5分)What drove Polly Atkin to seek companionship with the owls? A．Her desire to write a nature memoir. B．Her limited mobility due to health issues. C．Her preference for animals over humans. D．Her childhood dream of living in the wild. 23．(2.5分)What do the three books have in common? A．They are set in North America. B．They focus on survival challenges of wild animals. C．They explore the connection between humans and nature. D．They stress the importance of protecting endangered species. 【答案】21．A 22．B 23．C 【导语】文章主要介绍了2026年地球月推荐的三本书籍，它们分别讲述了人与狼、猫头鹰以及边缘动物之间相互观察、陪伴并从中获得人生启迪的故事。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据My Life with Wolves部分“More importantly, this memoir explains how the wolves’ calm assertiveness shaped his own values.(更重要的是，这部回忆录解释了狼群平静而坚定的特质如何塑造了他自己的价值观)”可知，作者Rick McIntyre在这本回忆录中主要传达了观察狼群如何帮助他塑造了个人的价值观。 22．细节理解题。根据The Company of Owls部分“Restricted by illness to her cottage in England’s Lake District, Polly Atkin finds companionship in a family of owls living nearby. As she watches them grow, she reflects on survival and solitude. The owls, she writes, taught her to listen carefully to the world around her.(因病只能待在英格兰湖区的一间小屋里，波莉·阿特金在附近一家猫头鹰家族中找到了陪伴。看着它们成长，她开始思考生存与孤独。她写道，这些猫头鹰教会了她仔细倾听周围的世界)”可知，Polly Atkin因疾病被困于村舍，行动受限，这才促使她在附近的猫头鹰一家中寻找陪伴。 23．细节理解题。根据第一段“One indirect outcome of Earth Day was the collective decision to protect the wildlife we live with and to cope with the resulting tensions. Here are three of the many titles gathered for this 2026 Earth Month bookshelf.(地球日的一个间接成果，是人们共同决定保护与我们共存的野生动物，并应对由此带来的种种紧张局面。以下是为2026年地球月书架精心挑选的三本作品)”以及第一本书讲人通过观察狼群形成自己的价值观，第二本书讲人因病受限而从猫头鹰身上学会聆听世界，第三本书讲被忽视的生物能教给人类深刻的道理可知，三本书的共同点是都探讨了人类与自然之间的联系与互动。 （本题10分）Every October, the tiny former mining town of Grayhaven, population 3,200, becomes a vital refuelling station for the monarch butterfly’s (帝王蝶) astonishing 3000-kilometre transcontinental migration across North America. Two decades ago, deep blue sky was dotted with countless orange wings, yet over the past twenty years the number has plummeted by a shocking 80%, largely because the delicate milkweed on which the insect exclusively lays its eggs has been systematically erased by aggressive herbicides and new housing projects. Last autumn, seventeen-year-old Lily Chen, a soft-spoken local high-school senior with great curiosity for entomology (昆虫学), launched “Project Milkweed”. Instead of merely posting pictures on social media, she persuasively negotiated with three nationwide garden centre chains to gift shoppers a free milkweed seed packet for every single plant purchased. Within only eight weeks, the project had measurable impact. Enthusiastic residents had transformed 420 once-barren balconies and front yards into butterfly habitats, collectively adding 7,300 brand-new milkweed stems to the shrinking town. Each grower carefully uploaded photographs along with a unique QR code that Lily’s team swiftly turned into a wonderful interactive map. Distinguished biologists at nearby State University subsequently used the open-source data to seriously track egg density and, to universal astonishment, discovered two previously unknown resting sites hidden along the sheltered riverbank. The mayor, visibly impressed by the documented 42% increase in visiting butterflies, has now boldly banned all neonicotinoid (新烟碱类) pesticides within a protective one-kilometre path beside water. “Conservation sometimes begins with one determined student who simply refuses to accept silence in the once-glorious sky,” he declared at the emotionally-charged award ceremony, proudly handing Lily the gleaming Youth Environmental Medal. Yet Lily remains cautiously optimistic: “A single good season doesn’t mean you’re fully back on track. If next year’s volunteer gardens are reduced, so inevitably will the monarch butterflies.” Her gentle warning reminds Grayhaven that the butterflies’ fragile future still rests in human hands and on ordinary balconies. 24．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “plummeted” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Remained stable. B．Changed slightly. C．Increased sharply. D．Decreased dramatically. 25．(2.5分)Why was “Project Milkweed” effective soon? A．Because farmers posted QR pictures online as a live map. B．Because university data revealed hidden butterfly habitats. C．Because giving away seeds with purchases boosted planting. D．Because residents financed some delicate butterfly habitats. 26．(2.5分)What will the mayor most likely expand next? A．Pesticide-free zone B．Student award size C．Riverbank parking D．Bioscience studies 27．(2.5分)What can be inferred from Lily’s warning in the last paragraph? A．The battle to save the monarchs is far from over. B．Next year’s butterflies will certainly double again. C．A great season ensures the prosperity of butterflies. D．Pesticide companies have agreed to stop production. 【答案】24．D 25．C 26．A 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。女生Lily发起“乳草计划”，掀起一场社区参与式的帝王蝶保护行动。居民阳台增植7300株，帝王蝶数量回升42%，市长随即沿河禁杀虫剂，但Lily提醒守护行动不能停。 【详解】24．词句猜测题。原文第二段“Two decades ago, deep blue sky was dotted with countless orange wings(二十年前，深蓝的天空点缀着无数橙色的翅膀)”可知，20年前，帝王蝶数量繁多，此处，“yet, the number has plummeted by a shocking 80%…(然而，这个数字却骤降了惊人的 80% 。)”与前半句构成文意转折，意指“惊人地下降了80%”。shocking 80 %强调跌幅巨大，排除“稳定/微变/上升”之意。Decreased dramatically（急剧减少）与“骤降”完全吻合；故选D。 25．推理判断题。文章第三段提到“Enthusiastic residents had transformed 420 once-barren balconies and front yards into butterfly habitats, collectively adding 7,300 brand-new milkweed stems to the shrinking town. Each grower carefully uploaded photographs along with a unique QR code that Lily’s team swiftly turned into a wonderful interactive map.(热情的居民们将420个曾经荒芜的阳台和前院改造成了蝴蝶栖息地，总共新增了7300根新的马利筋茎，为这个日渐萎缩的小镇增添了生机。每位种植者都精心上传了照片，并附上了独一无二的二维码，莉莉的团队迅速将这些二维码整合成了一个精彩的互动地图。)”，并结合“Instead of merely posting pictures on social media, she persuasively negotiated with three nationwide garden-centre chains to gift shoppers a free milkweed seed packet for every single plant purchased.(她并非只是在社交媒体上随意发布图片，而是成功地与三家全国性的园艺中心连锁店进行了协商，达成协议：顾客每购买一棵植物，就能获得一包免费的马利筋种子。)”可推断，“乳草项目”成效显著的原因是通过“买植物送种子”的方式推动马利筋种植，进而快速打造蝴蝶栖息地，让项目迅速见效。故选C。 26．推理判断题。由原文第四段“The mayor, visibly impressed by the documented 42% increase in visiting butterflies, has now boldly banned all neonicotinoid (新烟碱类) pesticides within a protective one-kilometre path beside water.(市长显然对所记录的蝴蝶数量增长42%的情况印象深刻，于是现在果断下令，在水源旁的一公里保护区域内全面禁止使用新烟碱类杀虫剂。)”可知，市长下令沿河1公里全面禁止新烟碱杀虫剂。因此推断迈出第一步后，市长最可能“扩大”的是这条无药缓冲带。故选A。 27．推理判断题。由最后一段Lily警告“A single good season doesn’t mean you’re fully back on track. If next year’s volunteer gardens are reduced, so inevitably will the monarch butterflies.(单凭一个良好的季节并不能表明你已经完全恢复了正常状态。如果明年的志愿者种植园面积减少，那么帝王蝶的数量也必然会随之减少。)”可知，一季好转不等于全面恢复，若花园减少，蝴蝶必然随之减少。因此推断保护工作需持续，战斗远未结束。故选A。 （本题10分）Fish may have their own version of empathy. In a study published in the journal Science, researchers say the same mechanism responsible for human empathy might also be at play among fish. This suggests the human ability to understand and share another’s feelings could have evolved much earlier than previously thought — around 450 million years ago, when fish and mammals split on the evolutionary tree. Scientists have known that fear can spread throughout groups of fish in a phenomenon known as “emotional contagion (传染)”. This can be helpful if, for example, one fish spots a predator before others do — it can then alert its peers by acting distressed. But until now, scientists weren’t sure which biological systems led fish to catch onto another’s emotional state. To find out, they focused on zebrafish, which are often used in research. Scientists concluded the hormone oxytocin (催产素), which helps regulate social behavior and empathy in mammals, may also drive contagious fear in fish. In one of their experiments, the team removed genes linked to oxytocin production from some zebrafish, then let them observe other zebrafish that were acting afraid in another tank. Many of the genetically modified animals did not respond to their peers’ fear, while a control group of normal fish did. Then, when the researchers injected the genetically modified fish with oxytocin, they behaved more like the standard, unmodified fish and mirrored the fright behaviors of their peers. In another experiment, zebrafish appeared to pay more attention to videos of fish that had previously shown distress, as opposed to videos of fish that always appeared calm. This suggests the fish may have been emotionally connecting with their fearful peers — and possibly, researchers say, even trying to comfort them. Finally, the researchers dissected (解剖) zebrafish brains and, after examining the tissue under a microscope, found that the two areas most involved in emotional contagion were similar to the mammalian brain regions associated with empathy. The findings suggest that fish could be sentient, like humans and other species. “They have the ability to have an emotional life,” says Hans Hofmann, a neurobiologist at the University of Texas at Austin who was not involved in the research. 28．(2.5分)What does human-fish empathy similarity indicate? A．Fish lost the ability to feel emotions during evolution. B．Mammals learned empathetic behavior by observing fish. C．Fish may possess empathy-like abilities rooted in evolution. D．Fish developed empathy separately after splitting from mammals. 29．(2.5分)What role does oxytocin play in zebrafish according to the study? A．It enhances their swimming speed. B．It shapes their response to peers’ fear. C．It helps them detect predators faster. D．It reduces their need for social interaction. 30．(2.5分)How did the researchers reach their conclusion? A．By analyzing data. B．By making comparisons. C．By building models. D．By conducting surveys. 31．(2.5分)The underlined word “sentient” in the last paragraph most likely means ________. A．capable of physical adaptation B．dependent on group survival C．skilled at avoiding predators D．able to perceive and feel emotions 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．B 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现鱼类可能具有类似人类的共情能力，且这种能力可能与进化有关。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“In a study published in the journal Science, researchers say the same mechanism responsible for human empathy might also be at play among fish. This suggests the human ability to understand and share another’s feelings could have evolved much earlier than previously thought — around 450 million years ago, when fish and mammals split on the evolutionary tree. (在《科学》杂志发表的一项研究中，研究人员称，人类共情的相关机制可能同样在鱼类中起作用。这表明，人类理解和分享他人感受的能力可能比此前认为的进化得早得多 —— 大约在 4.5 亿年前，即鱼类和哺乳动物在进化树上分化之时。)”可知，人类与鱼类在共情能力上的相似性表明鱼类可能拥有源于进化的类似共情的能力。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Many of the genetically modified animals did not respond to their peers’ fear, while a control group of normal fish did. Then, when the researchers injected the genetically modified fish with oxytocin, they behaved more like the standard, unmodified fish and mirrored the fright behaviors of their peers. (许多转基因动物对同伴的恐惧没有反应，而一组正常的对照鱼则有反应。然后，当研究人员给转基因鱼注射催产素时，它们的行为更像标准的、未转基因的鱼，并模仿了同伴的恐惧行为。)”可知，催产素在斑马鱼中塑造了它们对同伴恐惧的反应。故选B。 30．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Many of the genetically modified animals did not respond to their peers’ fear, while a control group of normal fish did. Then, when the researchers injected the genetically modified fish with oxytocin, they behaved more like the standard, unmodified fish and mirrored the fright behaviors of their peers. (许多转基因动物对同伴的恐惧没有反应，而一组正常的对照鱼则有反应。然后，当研究人员给转基因鱼注射催产素时，它们的行为更像标准的、未转基因的鱼，并模仿了同伴的恐惧行为。)”以及第四段中“In another experiment, zebrafish appeared to pay more attention to videos of fish that had previously shown distress, as opposed to videos of fish that always appeared calm. (在另一项实验中，斑马鱼似乎更关注之前表现出痛苦的鱼的视频，而不是总是表现出平静的鱼的视频。)”可知，研究人员通过做比较得出结论。故选B。 31．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“The findings suggest that fish could be sentient, like humans and other species. “They have the ability to have an emotional life,” says Hans Hofmann, a neurobiologist at the University of Texas at Austin who was not involved in the research. (这些研究结果表明，鱼类可能和人类及其他物种一样sentient。“它们有能力拥有情感生活，”德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的神经生物学家汉斯・霍夫曼说，他并未参与这项研究。)”可知，研究发现鱼类可能像人类和其他物种一样有感知和感受情绪的能力，故划sentient意思是“能够感知和感受情绪”。故选D。 （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）We all know that our dogs have feelings, and that they can be happy or sad. But, do dogs actually cry real tears when they get sad? Dogs are highly sensitive pets, and they experience a variety of emotions, just like humans. 36(2.5分) They might just have watery eyes. As far as scientists know, humans are the only species that cry for emotional reasons. Dogs do “cry” when they’re sad. However, dogs use voices to express feelings rather than having watery eyes. They begin doing this at a young age by crying out for their moms when in trouble. 37(2.5分) As they get older, dogs may continue this whining (哀鸣) when sad. Once they have matured, dogs consider their human owners to be the pack leader, or mother figure, and will direct their whining or crying towards them. Many specialists believe dogs suffering from separation anxiety will whine for their mothers. 38(2.5分) 39(2.5分) They can also be sad, in pain or attempting to let you know that they’re feeling uncomfortable or want something. Also, dogs may howl (嗥叫) occasionally, which is just another form of “crying”. In fact, many experts believe that howling is a dog’s ultimate expression of sadness. If dogs don’t produce emotional tears, why do they tear up at all? Studies show there is oftentimes a medical reason behind dogs having tears. 40(2.5分) A dog’s tear ducts (泪管) work somewhat differently. For dogs, the tears or liquid will flow back into the throat and nose rather than from the eyes. A．This is because dogs are social animals. B．However, no science proves dogs cry for sadness. C．Separation anxiety isn’t the only cause of dogs whining. D．Similarly, when sad, they go to their parent-like person. E．Virtually, that may be a sign of a serious health condition. F．The reasons for dogs crying or howling are exactly the same. G．They learn to make distinct sounds that can be recognized instantly. 【答案】36．B 37．G 38．D 39．C 40．E 【导语】文章主要探讨狗狗是否会因为悲伤流下真正的眼泪，介绍狗狗表达情绪的方式以及狗狗流泪背后的医学原因。 【详解】36．根据前文“Dogs are highly sensitive pets, and they experience a variety of emotions, just like humans.(狗是高度敏感的宠物，和人类一样，它们会体会各种各样的情绪。)”以及后文“They might just have watery eyes. As far as scientists know, humans are the only species that cry for emotional reasons.(它们可能只是眼睛湿润。据科学家所知，人类是唯一会因情绪而哭泣的物种。)”可知，前文讲到狗狗有各类情绪，后文说明狗狗不会因悲伤落泪，可推理出空白处说的是狗不会因情绪而哭泣，B选项“However, no science proves dogs cry for sadness.(然而，没有科学证据证明狗会因为悲伤哭泣。)”承接前后文，符合语境。 37．根据前文“They begin doing this at a young age by crying out for their moms when in trouble.(它们很小的时候遇到麻烦就会向妈妈哭喊来表达情绪。)”以及后文“As they get older, dogs may continue this whining (哀鸣) when sad.(随着年龄增长，狗狗难过的时候会继续发出这种哀鸣。)”可知，此处讲述狗狗从小到大通过发声表达情绪，可推理出空白处说的是狗学会了能够被识别的表达情绪的声音，G选项“They learn to make distinct sounds that can be recognized instantly.(它们学会发出可以被立刻识别的不同声音。)”承接前后，符合语境。 38．根据前文“Many specialists believe dogs suffering from separation anxiety will whine for their mothers.(许多专家认为患有分离焦虑的狗狗会向着自己的母亲哀鸣。)”可知，此处讲狗狗会向母亲哀鸣，可推理出空白处说的是当它们难过的时候会求助于人，D选项“Similarly, when sad, they go to their parent‑like person.(同样，当它们难过时，会去找像父母一样的人。)”承接上文，其中“parent‑like person”指代上文中的human owners，符合语境。 39．根据后文“They can also be sad, in pain or attempting to let you know that they’re feeling uncomfortable or want something.(它们也可能是悲伤、身体疼痛，或是试图告诉你它们感到不舒服或者想要某物。)”可知，后文介绍狗狗哀鸣的多种缘由，可推理出空白处说的是分离焦虑并不是狗狗哀鸣的唯一原因，C选项“Separation anxiety isn’t the only cause of dogs whining.(分离焦虑并不是狗狗哀鸣的唯一原因。)”引出下文多个原因，符合语境。 40．根据前文“Studies show there is oftentimes a medical reason behind dogs having tears.(研究表明狗狗流泪背后往往存在医学方面的原因。)”以及后文“A dog’s tear ducts (泪管) work somewhat differently.(狗的泪管工作方式有所不同。)”可知，此处围绕狗狗流泪的健康问题展开，可推理出空白处说的是狗流泪可能是健康问题的信号，E选项“Virtually, that may be a sign of a serious health condition.(事实上，那可能是严重健康问题的信号。)”承接前文的医学原因，符合语境。 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.

We suggest you adjust your mindset and regard bird songs as natural background music. Let us show respect for every small life and grow into more tolerant and gentle people. Yours, Li Hua Possible version 2: Dear Chris, We have received your letter requesting the removal of bird nests on campus. We feel really sorry for the disturbance that the bird songs bring you.

Our home was often crowded with the presence of raccoons (浣熊) and even a fox that hung about freely among us. These early experiences with wildlife caused a deep-seated passion for animals in me, one that eventually led to an intense fascination with marine life. The process of caring for these animals involved not only feeding and nurturing them back to health but also learning about their habits and behaviors. It was this hands-on experience that taught me the importance of patience, observation, and respect for nature. During family vacations to Bermuda, I would spend countless hours watching whales from the shore, attracted by their grace and mystery. Today, after more than three decades, I continue to study whales and currently serve as the president of the Center for Cetacean Research and Conservation, primarily based in the Cook Islands and Bermuda. My work focuses on understanding whale behavior, migration (迁徙) patterns, and how we can better protect these gentle whales. In 2023, I set out on an ambitious project to create a documentary about whale conservation around Rarotonga, in the Cook Islands. Joining me on this voyage was my longtime friend and colleague, Liam. Together, we aimed to capture amazing footage of my interactions with humpback (座头鲸) whales, which usually involved me quietly slipping into the water to observe and cautiously record their behavior. That day, from our boat, we spotted a couple of humpbacks swimming not too far off. Deciding to get closer, I wore just a snorkel mask and a GoPro camera and slipped into the ocean, eager to document these awe-inspiring creatures up close. As I swam towards them, I felt a mix of excitement and admiration. Each stroke brought me nearer to these huge beings whose songs could be weakly heard echoing through the water. Liam remained on the boat, ready to assist if needed, his eyes fixed on me through a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜). 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As I approached, one of the male humpbacks swam directly toward me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly I noticed another shape in the water—an 18-foot man-eating shark! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】       As I approached, one of the male humpbacks swam directly toward me. Its massive body loomed large, yet its movements were surprisingly gentle. I could see the barnacles clinging to its skin and the scars from past encounters. It seemed curious about me, too, slowing down as it got closer. I held my breath, trying not to startle it. Then, to my amazement, it let out a low, mournful song that vibrated through the water, sending shivers down my spine. I quickly adjusted my GoPro, determined to capture this once-in-a-lifetime moment.       Suddenly I noticed another shape in the water—an 18-foot man-eating shark! Fear shot through me. The shark circled menacingly, its cold eyes fixed on me. I knew I had to stay calm. The humpback, sensing the danger, positioned itself between me and the shark. It thrashed its powerful tail, creating a strong current that pushed the shark back. The shark lunged a few times but was no match for the humpback’s strength. With a final angry snap, the shark swam away. I swam back to the boat as fast as I could, filled with gratitude for my unexpected protector. This encounter would be a powerful story to tell for whale conservation. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者成长于宾夕法尼亚，家庭热衷救助野生动物，由此萌生对动物的热爱，尤其痴迷海洋生物。三十余年后，身为鲸类研究保护中心主任，专注研究鲸类行为与保护。2023年在库克群岛开展鲸鱼保护纪录片拍摄，与座头鲸近距离接触，记录珍贵画面。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我靠近时，一头雄性座头鲸径直向我游来。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者接近雄性座头鲸时，它动作轻柔且好奇，随后发出歌声，作者急忙拍摄这珍贵瞬间。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，我注意到水中有另一个身影——一条18英尺长的食人鲨！”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者遇18英尺食人鲨，座头鲸护其驱鲨，作者脱险后心怀感激，此经历利于鲸类保护宣传。 2.续写线索：看到座头鲸——记录珍贵瞬间——食人鲨靠近——座头鲸驱鲨——心怀感激——宣传鲸类保护 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看见：see/spot/catch sight of ②使惊吓：frighten/startle ③保持：stay/keep 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ②感激：thankfulness/gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1] I held my breath, trying not to startle it.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] Then, to my amazement, it let out a low, mournful song that vibrated through the water, sending shivers down my spine. （运用了that引导的定语从句和现在分词作状语） [高分句型3] The shark circled menacingly, its cold eyes fixed on me.（运用了独立主格结构） 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Rocky, stop the jeff cookies.

Here are three of the many titles gathered for this 2026 Earth Month bookshelf. My Life with Wolves: How I Became the Storyteller for the Yellowstone Packs by Rick McIntyre (Greystone Books, 2026, 296 pages, $30.00) Former park ranger (护林人) Rick McIntyre shares decades of wisdom from observing wolves in Yellowstone. He narrates how he narrowly missed a deer’s charge and watched alpha wolves battle for territory. More importantly, this memoir explains how the wolves’ calm assertiveness shaped his own values. The Company of Owls: A Memoir by Polly Atkin (Milkweed Editions, 2026, 216 pages, $25.00) Restricted by illness to her cottage in England’s Lake District, Polly Atkin finds companionship in a family of owls living nearby. As she watches them grow, she reflects on survival and solitude. The owls, she writes, taught her to listen carefully to the world around her. Outsider Animals: How the Creatures at the Margin of Our Lives Have the Most to Teach Us by Marlene Zuk (Princeton University Press, 2026, 312 pages, $29.95) Biologist Marlene Zuk shifts our focus to creatures we frequently overlook — such as snakes, cockroaches, butterflies and other little-known species. With wit and genuine curiosity, she reveals what cockroaches can teach us about evolution, how butterflies reshape our understanding of pollution, and why even unpopular animals offer profound lessons. 21．(2.5分)What does Rick McIntyre mainly convey in his book? A．Observing wolves helped him develop his personal beliefs. B．His career as a park ranger was filled with unexpected risks. C．The Yellowstone wolf packs have complex social structures.

Two decades ago, deep blue sky was dotted with countless orange wings, yet over the past twenty years the number has plummeted by a shocking 80%, largely because the delicate milkweed on which the insect exclusively lays its eggs has been systematically erased by aggressive herbicides and new housing projects. Last autumn, seventeen-year-old Lily Chen, a soft-spoken local high-school senior with great curiosity for entomology (昆虫学), launched “Project Milkweed”. Instead of merely posting pictures on social media, she persuasively negotiated with three nationwide garden centre chains to gift shoppers a free milkweed seed packet for every single plant purchased. Within only eight weeks, the project had measurable impact. Enthusiastic residents had transformed 420 once-barren balconies and front yards into butterfly habitats, collectively adding 7,300 brand-new milkweed stems to the shrinking town. Each grower carefully uploaded photographs along with a unique QR code that Lily’s team swiftly turned into a wonderful interactive map. Distinguished biologists at nearby State University subsequently used the open-source data to seriously track egg density and, to universal astonishment, discovered two previously unknown resting sites hidden along the sheltered riverbank. The mayor, visibly impressed by the documented 42% increase in visiting butterflies, has now boldly banned all neonicotinoid (新烟碱类) pesticides within a protective one-kilometre path beside water. “Conservation sometimes begins with one determined student who simply refuses to accept silence in the once-glorious sky,” he declared at the emotionally-charged award ceremony, proudly handing Lily the gleaming Youth Environmental Medal. Yet Lily remains cautiously optimistic: “A single good season doesn’t mean you’re fully back on track. If next year’s volunteer gardens are reduced, so inevitably will the monarch butterflies.” Her gentle warning reminds Grayhaven that the butterflies’ fragile future still rests in human hands and on ordinary balconies. 24．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “plummeted” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Remained stable. B．Changed slightly. C．Increased sharply. D．Decreased dramatically. 25．(2.5分)Why was “Project Milkweed” effective soon? A．Because farmers posted QR pictures online as a live map. B．Because university data revealed hidden butterfly habitats. C．Because giving away seeds with purchases boosted planting. D．Because residents financed some delicate butterfly habitats. 26．(2.5分)What will the mayor most likely expand next? A．Pesticide-free zone B．Student award size C．Riverbank parking D．Bioscience studies 27．(2.5分)What can be inferred from Lily’s warning in the last paragraph? A．The battle to save the monarchs is far from over. B．Next year’s butterflies will certainly double again. C．A great season ensures the prosperity of butterflies. D．Pesticide companies have agreed to stop production. （本题10分）Fish may have their own version of empathy. In a study published in the journal Science, researchers say the same mechanism responsible for human empathy might also be at play among fish. This suggests the human ability to understand and share another’s feelings could have evolved much earlier than previously thought — around 450 million years ago, when fish and mammals split on the evolutionary tree. Scientists have known that fear can spread throughout groups of fish in a phenomenon known as “emotional contagion (传染)”. This can be helpful if, for example, one fish spots a predator before others do — it can then alert its peers by acting distressed. But until now, scientists weren’t sure which biological systems led fish to catch onto another’s emotional state. To find out, they focused on zebrafish, which are often used in research. Scientists concluded the hormone oxytocin (催产素), which helps regulate social behavior and empathy in mammals, may also drive contagious fear in fish. In one of their experiments, the team removed genes linked to oxytocin production from some zebrafish, then let them observe other zebrafish that were acting afraid in another tank. Many of the genetically modified animals did not respond to their peers’ fear, while a control group of normal fish did. Then, when the researchers injected the genetically modified fish with oxytocin, they behaved more like the standard, unmodified fish and mirrored the fright behaviors of their peers. In another experiment, zebrafish appeared to pay more attention to videos of fish that had previously shown distress, as opposed to videos of fish that always appeared calm. This suggests the fish may have been emotionally connecting with their fearful peers — and possibly, researchers say, even trying to comfort them. Finally, the researchers dissected (解剖) zebrafish brains and, after examining the tissue under a microscope, found that the two areas most involved in emotional contagion were similar to the mammalian brain regions associated with empathy. The findings suggest that fish could be sentient, like humans and other species. “They have the ability to have an emotional life,” says Hans Hofmann, a neurobiologist at the University of Texas at Austin who was not involved in the research. 28．(2.5分)What does human-fish empathy similarity indicate? A．Fish lost the ability to feel emotions during evolution. B．Mammals learned empathetic behavior by observing fish. C．Fish may possess empathy-like abilities rooted in evolution. D．Fish developed empathy separately after splitting from mammals. 29．(2.5分)What role does oxytocin play in zebrafish according to the study? A．It enhances their swimming speed. B．It shapes their response to peers’ fear. C．It helps them detect predators faster. D．It reduces their need for social interaction. 30．(2.5分)How did the researchers reach their conclusion? A．By analyzing data. B．By making comparisons. C．By building models. D．By conducting surveys. 31．(2.5分)The underlined word “sentient” in the last paragraph most likely means ________. A．capable of physical adaptation B．dependent on group survival C．skilled at avoiding predators D．able to perceive and feel emotions （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）We all know that our dogs have feelings, and that they can be happy or sad. But, do dogs actually cry real tears when they get sad? Dogs are highly sensitive pets, and they experience a variety of emotions, just like humans. 36(2.5分) They might just have watery eyes. As far as scientists know, humans are the only species that cry for emotional reasons. Dogs do “cry” when they’re sad. However, dogs use voices to express feelings rather than having watery eyes. They begin doing this at a young age by crying out for their moms when in trouble. 37(2.5分) As they get older, dogs may continue this whining (哀鸣) when sad. Once they have matured, dogs consider their human owners to be the pack leader, or mother figure, and will direct their whining or crying towards them. Many specialists believe dogs suffering from separation anxiety will whine for their mothers. 38(2.5分) 39(2.5分) They can also be sad, in pain or attempting to let you know that they’re feeling uncomfortable or want something. Also, dogs may howl (嗥叫) occasionally, which is just another form of “crying”. In fact, many experts believe that howling is a dog’s ultimate expression of sadness. If dogs don’t produce emotional tears, why do they tear up at all? Studies show there is oftentimes a medical reason behind dogs having tears. 40(2.5分) A dog’s tear ducts (泪管) work somewhat differently. For dogs, the tears or liquid will flow back into the throat and nose rather than from the eyes. A．This is because dogs are social animals. B．However, no science proves dogs cry for sadness. C．Separation anxiety isn’t the only cause of dogs whining. D．Similarly, when sad, they go to their parent-like person. E．Virtually, that may be a sign of a serious health condition. F．The reasons for dogs crying or howling are exactly the same. G．They learn to make distinct sounds that can be recognized instantly. 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.

Known as 56(1.5分) “Kapok King”, it is a miracle of nature, as these trees rarely survive 57(1.5分) a century in the wild. Its long life is due to the constant care and attention from an expert team. Led by Wang Yongyue, the team employs advanced technologies 58(1.5分) (monitor) the tree’s health. They use CT scans to map roots up to seven or eight meters deep. “We also strike nails in the wood to create sound waves,” Wang explains. “If the wood 59(1.5分) (be) hollow or decayed (腐烂的) inside, the speed of the sound changes. This helps us strengthen the tree 60(1.5分) it’s too late.” Since 2009, Wang 61(1.5分) (oversee) quarterly check-ups, with a critical focus on managing harmful insects. Instead of relying on strong 62(1.5分) (chemical), the team practices biological control. Bi Keke, a lab expert, describes releasing natural enemies to hunt them. “It is a story of one 63(1.5分) (beat) another in nature,” he notes, highlighting how this approach maintains 64(1.5分) (ecology) balance.

Our home was often crowded with the presence of raccoons (浣熊) and even a fox that hung about freely among us. These early experiences with wildlife caused a deep-seated passion for animals in me, one that eventually led to an intense fascination with marine life. The process of caring for these animals involved not only feeding and nurturing them back to health but also learning about their habits and behaviors. It was this hands-on experience that taught me the importance of patience, observation, and respect for nature. During family vacations to Bermuda, I would spend countless hours watching whales from the shore, attracted by their grace and mystery. Today, after more than three decades, I continue to study whales and currently serve as the president of the Center for Cetacean Research and Conservation, primarily based in the Cook Islands and Bermuda. My work focuses on understanding whale behavior, migration (迁徙) patterns, and how we can better protect these gentle whales. In 2023, I set out on an ambitious project to create a documentary about whale conservation around Rarotonga, in the Cook Islands. Joining me on this voyage was my longtime friend and colleague, Liam. Together, we aimed to capture amazing footage of my interactions with humpback (座头鲸) whales, which usually involved me quietly slipping into the water to observe and cautiously record their behavior. That day, from our boat, we spotted a couple of humpbacks swimming not too far off. Deciding to get closer, I wore just a snorkel mask and a GoPro camera and slipped into the ocean, eager to document these awe-inspiring creatures up close. As I swam towards them, I felt a mix of excitement and admiration. Each stroke brought me nearer to these huge beings whose songs could be weakly heard echoing through the water. Liam remained on the boat, ready to assist if needed, his eyes fixed on me through a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜). 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As I approached, one of the male humpbacks swam directly toward me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly I noticed another shape in the water—an 18-foot man-eating shark! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
