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.

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. （本题10分）Fu Mingxia has spent nearly a decade tracking a shadow. She knows its weight from its footprints, its diet from its waste, its route from broken bamboo stems. But the giant panda itself remains a creature she has never seen in the wild. Each morning, she and her team hike the misty trails of Sichuan’s Daxiangling mountains, scanning the forest floor for spindle-shaped ‌(纺锤形)‌ droppings. When they find one, they celebrate — a quiet nod, a brief smile, then a careful measurement. Once, a fresh pile made her heart race. Now, its increasing frequency tells a story more powerful than any sighting. Today, Fu stops before a strange boundary. On her left stand tall firs ‌(冷杉)‌, their canopies ‌(林冠)‌ so dense that sunlight barely reaches the ground. The earth is bare. On her right, sunbeams pass through the leaves, lighting up bush and bamboo waving in the breeze. Birds call. Insects hum. “This is what we planted after logging stopped,” she says, pointing left. “Nice trees, but useless for wildlife.” She steps into the sunlight on the right. “This is what we’re building now.” For years, her team has cleared thick vines (藤), replanted local young trees, and tended them for three seasons. They have linked separate bamboo patches into green pathways, so pandas can move freely, find food, and meet mates. Some 467 hectares have been restored. Back at the monitoring station, Fu goes through images from hundreds of infrared ‌(红外线的)‌ cameras. That morning alone, the system recorded 72 mammal and 12 bird detections. Pandas were feeding on shoots. Mothers were leading babies. Deer were stepping quietly through the undergrowth ‌(下木层)‌. She stops on one picture: a panda, half-hidden in bamboo, chewing calmly. She studies its face — a face she has never seen in person, yet knows better than most. A colleague jokes, “One day you’ll meet one.” Fu smiles. “Maybe,” she says, closing the laptop. “But some things are more precious when seen through the signs they leave behind.” 24．(2.5分)What does the “shadow” refer to? A．The giant panda. B．The misty forest. C．A hidden danger. D．A lost memory. 25．(2.5分)Why does the author describe the left side of the boundary? A．To praise the beauty of tall firs. B．To explain why logging was banned. C．To offer a contrast to current efforts. D．To compare two types of bamboo forests. 26．(2.5分)What does the camera data mainly indicate about the area? A．The bamboo forest is expanding. B．Panda numbers are steadily rising. C．Human activity has been reduced. D．The wildlife has become more diverse. 27．(2.5分)How does Fu feel about her work? A．Disappointed. B．Content. C．Hopeful. D．Critical. （本题10分）As plant-based milks gain popularity for health or dietary reasons, almond milk has become a top choice. Its soaring sales mean a huge demand for almonds, with sales in the US exceeding $1 billion in 2018 and expected to climb further. Most of these almonds are grown in California, which produces 80 percent of the world’s supply. However, growing these almonds requires a critical resource: bees. Bees are essential for pollination, but the vast almond farms in California pose significant challenges to them. The pollination season starts unusually early, forcing bees to work when they would normally be dormant (休眠的), which disrupts their natural cycle. Moreover, these farms expose bees to various hazards, such as toxic pesticides and parasites. This intensive farming contributes to a wider crisis for bee populations globally. In the United States, millions of bees are dying each year. For instance, one report indicated an average loss of 1.6 million bees annually over a seven-year period, with some winters being particularly harsh for bee colonies. This massive loss extends far beyond the almond industry. Since bees are essential for pollinating many crops, their disappearance threatens global food security and biodiversity. While some hope that advanced technology or tiny drones might one day replace natural pollinators, such solutions remain far from practical at a global scale. Without these tireless workers, the production of fruits and vegetables would drop sharply, destabilizing the entire natural food chain. Yet, the situation is not entirely without hope. The public is becoming increasingly aware of the severe dangers faced by bees, and a consensus has been reached that their protection should be a top priority. The Almond Board of California, for example, emphasizes its commitment to bee health, stating that it has funded more research projects to support bees than any other crop group. Individuals including local farmers, gardeners and homeowners also contribute by avoiding chemical pesticides and planting bee-friendly gardens. These efforts reflect a growing global understanding: the survival of the bee is essential for the future of our planet. 28．(2.5分)What is Paragraph 1 intended to do? A．To show the popularity of almond milk. B．To introduce the topic of healthy eating. C．To highlight the driver of intensive farming. D．To imply the necessity of market competition. 29．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “hazards” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Sources. B．Benefits. C．Dangers. D．Solutions. 30．(2.5分)What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A．The decline of bees primarily affects the almond industry. B．The food chain still depends largely on pollinating insects. C．Human intervention has stabilized the natural ecosystem. D．Technological advances will replace bees in crop pollination. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．Farm Pollination: Vital Link in Food Security B．Almond Industry: A Threat to Local Ecosystem C．Drone Employment: A Solution to the Bee Crisis D．Bee Crisis: Hidden Cost of Almond Milk Popularity （本题10分）According to a new study published in the journal Science, rats, like humans, can use their brains to imagine walking to a new location or moving a virtual item to a new place, even when they are physically sitting still. Scientists think much of the human imagination is controlled by the hippocampus (海马体), a region of the brain that plays a role in memory and learning, which makes humans able to navigate (导航) an environment using just their thoughts. The hippocampus is also involved in rats’ spatial memory. But researchers have long wondered whether rats can navigate an environment like humans can. The problem, until now, was finding a way to test that. For the new experiment, scientists spent years developing virtual reality for rats — a brain machine that could help them answer this question. First, they implanted electrodes (电极) into the animals’ brains to record activity in their hippocampus. Then, they put the animals just on a ball-shaped running machine and supported them with a 360-degree screen showing a virtual reality environment. As the rats ran on the running machine, they moved through the virtual environment in the screen. Researchers trained them to navigate to specific areas by rewarding them with a bit of sugar water. In another part of the experiment, they severed the running machine, leaving the rats to navigate the virtual reality environment using only their minds. In this task, the brain machine translated the animals’ brain activity into motion on the screen. When the rats recreated the hippocampus activity associated with a specific location, the screen jumped to that site, where the rats got a reward. Three of the four rats tested were able to navigate the virtual reality tasks, according to The Washington Post. Together, the findings indicate rats can mentally navigate environments they’ve visited in the past, just like humans do. Rats can also, it seems, hold their thoughts on a specific location for several seconds. 32．(2.5分)What once confused the scientists before the experiment? A．How rats’ hippocampus works. B．The location of rats’ hippocampus. C．The structure of rats’ hippocampus. D．Whether rats have the ability to navigate. 33．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “severed” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Showed off. B．Switched off. C．Turned on. D．Gave away. 34．(2.5分)What can we conclude from the findings? A．The rats can go somewhere by memory. B．The rats can focus their minds for a long time. C．The rats can translate the brain activity into motion. D．The rats can imagine something they’ve never seen. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Rats Can Use Imagination As Well As Humans Do B．Scientists Used Brain Machine to Test Rats’ Imagination C．Rats Can Use Imagination to Navigate in Virtual Reality D．Scientists Invented a Machine That Creates Virtual Reality （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）It happened in Australia’s Kakadu National Park.

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.

Earlier this spring, her class visited a local wildlife rescue center on a school field trip. Ms. Parker, one of the wildlife workers, introduced how injured and orphaned animals were cared for by trained staff. Birds received proper food and care, and young ones often practiced flying with others before being released into the wild. Jane found the talk fascinating, though she never imagined it would become relevant to her own life. One Saturday morning, Jane heard faint chirping (唧唧叫) coming from the balcony outside her bedroom. Looking out, she spotted a tiny robin (知更鸟) chick in a flower pot. It seemed to have fallen from a nearby nest. Jane and her mother waited for hours, hoping the mother bird would return, but she never showed up. Jane felt sorry for the tiny bird. Luckily, it looked healthy, and its fluffy feathers and cheerful chirps quickly won her heart. “Can we keep him for a few days?” she begged. Her mother hesitated. “We can try, but remember — we don’t know much about caring for wild birds, and our home may not be the best place for one.” Still, Jane was eager to help. At home, she and her mother turned an old aquarium (鱼缸) into a temporary nest. Then they put it on the living room table for observation. Jane carefully fed the chick worms and named him Chick-a-dude. The little robin ate and drank regularly each day, hopping around quietly in its makeshift home. Staring at the fluffy little creature, Jane was filled with delight. However, as time passed, doubts began to creep in. Neither Jane nor her mother had any experience caring for wild birds, and they often wondered whether they were meeting all of the chick’s needs. Things became even more difficult because of Misty, their large Labrador dog. Ever since Chick-a-dude arrived, Misty had watched the aquarium closely and barked whenever the chick moved. One afternoon, Jane was doing homework when loud barking suddenly erupted from the living room. Terrified, Chick-a-dude fluttered (振翅) wildly out of the aquarium as Misty jumped excitedly around him. 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。 Alarmed, Jane rushed forward without hesitation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Jane set off for the wildlife rescue center with Chick-a-dude. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 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）Where does the man create the green space?

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.

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）Fu Mingxia has spent nearly a decade tracking a shadow. She knows its weight from its footprints, its diet from its waste, its route from broken bamboo stems. But the giant panda itself remains a creature she has never seen in the wild. Each morning, she and her team hike the misty trails of Sichuan’s Daxiangling mountains, scanning the forest floor for spindle-shaped ‌(纺锤形)‌ droppings. When they find one, they celebrate — a quiet nod, a brief smile, then a careful measurement. Once, a fresh pile made her heart race. Now, its increasing frequency tells a story more powerful than any sighting. Today, Fu stops before a strange boundary. On her left stand tall firs ‌(冷杉)‌, their canopies ‌(林冠)‌ so dense that sunlight barely reaches the ground. The earth is bare. On her right, sunbeams pass through the leaves, lighting up bush and bamboo waving in the breeze. Birds call. Insects hum. “This is what we planted after logging stopped,” she says, pointing left. “Nice trees, but useless for wildlife.” She steps into the sunlight on the right. “This is what we’re building now.” For years, her team has cleared thick vines (藤), replanted local young trees, and tended them for three seasons. They have linked separate bamboo patches into green pathways, so pandas can move freely, find food, and meet mates. Some 467 hectares have been restored. Back at the monitoring station, Fu goes through images from hundreds of infrared ‌(红外线的)‌ cameras. That morning alone, the system recorded 72 mammal and 12 bird detections. Pandas were feeding on shoots. Mothers were leading babies. Deer were stepping quietly through the undergrowth ‌(下木层)‌. She stops on one picture: a panda, half-hidden in bamboo, chewing calmly. She studies its face — a face she has never seen in person, yet knows better than most. A colleague jokes, “One day you’ll meet one.” Fu smiles. “Maybe,” she says, closing the laptop. “But some things are more precious when seen through the signs they leave behind.” 24．(2.5分)What does the “shadow” refer to? A．The giant panda. B．The misty forest. C．A hidden danger. D．A lost memory. 25．(2.5分)Why does the author describe the left side of the boundary? A．To praise the beauty of tall firs. B．To explain why logging was banned. C．To offer a contrast to current efforts. D．To compare two types of bamboo forests. 26．(2.5分)What does the camera data mainly indicate about the area? A．The bamboo forest is expanding. B．Panda numbers are steadily rising. C．Human activity has been reduced. D．The wildlife has become more diverse. 27．(2.5分)How does Fu feel about her work? A．Disappointed. B．Content. C．Hopeful. D．Critical. 【答案】24．A 25．C 26．D 27．B 【导语】本文讲述了野生动物保护工作者付明霞在四川大相岭山区追踪大熊猫近十年的经历，通过描绘日常巡护中的细节、对比单纯造林与生态修复的差异以及红外相机记录下的野生动物复苏，展现了栖息地恢复的显著成效，体现了她对这份工作的满足与对大自然隐秘之美的深刻体悟。 【详解】24．词句猜测题。根据第一段“Fu Mingxia has spent nearly a decade tracking a shadow. She knows its weight from its footprints, its diet from its waste, its route from broken bamboo stems. But the giant panda itself remains a creature she has never seen in the wild. (付明霞花了近十年时间追踪一个影子。她从脚印中知道它的重量，从粪便中知道它的饮食，从折断的竹茎中知道它的路线。但大熊猫本身仍是她在野外从未见过的生物。)”可知，付明霞近十年来追踪的“影子”具有重量、饮食和活动路线等特征，却始终未在野外得见真容，这与大熊猫完全吻合。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段“On her left stand tall firs ‌(冷杉)‌, their canopies ‌(林冠)‌ so dense that sunlight barely reaches the ground. The earth is bare. (在她左边矗立着高大的冷杉，它们的树冠如此茂密以至于阳光几乎无法照到地面。土地是光秃秃的。)”和第四段““This is what we planted after logging stopped,” she says, pointing left. “Nice trees, but useless for wildlife.” She steps into the sunlight on the right. “This is what we’re building now.”(“这是停止伐木后我们种的，”她指着左边说。“树很好，但对野生动物毫无用处。”她走到右边的阳光下。“这就是我们现在正在建设的。”)”可知，作者描绘左侧单一的人工林是为了与右侧当前修复的自然生境形成鲜明对比，从而突出生态恢复工作的转变与成效。 26．推理判断题。根据第六段“Back at the monitoring station, Fu goes through images from hundreds of infrared ‌(红外线的)‌ cameras. That morning alone, the system recorded 72 mammal and 12 bird detections. Pandas were feeding on shoots. Mothers were leading babies. Deer were stepping quietly through the undergrowth ‌(下木层)‌. (回到监测站，付明霞浏览着数百台红外相机拍摄的图像。仅那天早上，系统就记录到72次哺乳动物和12次鸟类检测。大熊猫在吃竹笋。母亲们带着幼崽。鹿悄悄穿过下木层。)”可知，相机数据主要表明该地区的野生动物变得更加多样化。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fu smiles. “Maybe,” she says, closing the laptop. “But some things are more precious when seen through the signs they leave behind.”(付明霞微笑着。“也许吧，”她说，合上笔记本电脑。“但有些东西通过它们留下的痕迹来看更为珍贵。”)”可知，付明霞虽未在野外亲眼见到大熊猫，却因自己能通过足迹、粪便及相机影像等迹象见证其回归而心生满足，对自己的工作成果感到欣慰。 （本题10分）As plant-based milks gain popularity for health or dietary reasons, almond milk has become a top choice. Its soaring sales mean a huge demand for almonds, with sales in the US exceeding $1 billion in 2018 and expected to climb further. Most of these almonds are grown in California, which produces 80 percent of the world’s supply. However, growing these almonds requires a critical resource: bees. Bees are essential for pollination, but the vast almond farms in California pose significant challenges to them. The pollination season starts unusually early, forcing bees to work when they would normally be dormant (休眠的), which disrupts their natural cycle. Moreover, these farms expose bees to various hazards, such as toxic pesticides and parasites. This intensive farming contributes to a wider crisis for bee populations globally. In the United States, millions of bees are dying each year. For instance, one report indicated an average loss of 1.6 million bees annually over a seven-year period, with some winters being particularly harsh for bee colonies. This massive loss extends far beyond the almond industry. Since bees are essential for pollinating many crops, their disappearance threatens global food security and biodiversity. While some hope that advanced technology or tiny drones might one day replace natural pollinators, such solutions remain far from practical at a global scale. Without these tireless workers, the production of fruits and vegetables would drop sharply, destabilizing the entire natural food chain. Yet, the situation is not entirely without hope. The public is becoming increasingly aware of the severe dangers faced by bees, and a consensus has been reached that their protection should be a top priority. The Almond Board of California, for example, emphasizes its commitment to bee health, stating that it has funded more research projects to support bees than any other crop group. Individuals including local farmers, gardeners and homeowners also contribute by avoiding chemical pesticides and planting bee-friendly gardens. These efforts reflect a growing global understanding: the survival of the bee is essential for the future of our planet. 28．(2.5分)What is Paragraph 1 intended to do? A．To show the popularity of almond milk. B．To introduce the topic of healthy eating. C．To highlight the driver of intensive farming. D．To imply the necessity of market competition. 29．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “hazards” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Sources. B．Benefits. C．Dangers. D．Solutions. 30．(2.5分)What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A．The decline of bees primarily affects the almond industry. B．The food chain still depends largely on pollinating insects. C．Human intervention has stabilized the natural ecosystem. D．Technological advances will replace bees in crop pollination. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．Farm Pollination: Vital Link in Food Security B．Almond Industry: A Threat to Local Ecosystem C．Drone Employment: A Solution to the Bee Crisis D．Bee Crisis: Hidden Cost of Almond Milk Popularity 【答案】28．C 29．C 30．B 31．D 【导语】文章主要说明了杏仁奶走红推动杏仁大规模种植，加州杏仁农场扰乱蜜蜂生活、致使蜂群锐减，威胁粮食安全与生态。如今各界已行动起来，合力保护蜜蜂。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第一段“As plant-based milks gain popularity for health or dietary reasons, almond milk has become a top choice. Its soaring sales mean a huge demand for almonds, with sales in the US exceeding $1 billion in 2018 and expected to climb further. Most of these almonds are grown in California, which produces 80 percent of the world’s supply.(由于健康或饮食原因，植物性奶制品日益流行，杏仁奶因此成为首选。其销量激增导致对杏仁的需求大幅上升，2018年美国杏仁销售总额已超过10亿美元，预计还将进一步增长。这些杏仁大多种植在加利福尼亚州，该州占全球供应量的80%)”可知，第一段的目的是强调集约化农业的驱动力。 29．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“such as toxic pesticides and parasites(例如有毒农药和寄生虫)”可知，有毒农药、寄生虫均为有害事物。故划线词意思是“危险、危害”。 30．推理判断题。根据第三段“Since bees are essential for pollinating many crops, their disappearance threatens global food security and biodiversity. While some hope that advanced technology or tiny drones might one day replace natural pollinators, such solutions remain far from practical at a global scale. Without these tireless workers, the production of fruits and vegetables would drop sharply, destabilizing the entire natural food chain.(由于蜜蜂对许多作物的授粉至关重要，它们的消失将威胁全球粮食安全和生物多样性。尽管有人希望先进的技术或微型无人机有朝一日能取代自然传粉者，但这些解决方案在目前全球范围内仍难以实现。如果没有这些不知疲倦的工蜂，水果和蔬菜的产量将急剧下降，从而扰乱整个自然食物链的稳定性)”可知，食物链仍然很大程度上依赖授粉昆虫。 31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“As plant-based milks gain popularity for health or dietary reasons, almond milk has become a top choice. Its soaring sales mean a huge demand for almonds, with sales in the US exceeding $1 billion in 2018 and expected to climb further.

Scientists think much of the human imagination is controlled by the hippocampus (海马体), a region of the brain that plays a role in memory and learning, which makes humans able to navigate (导航) an environment using just their thoughts. The hippocampus is also involved in rats’ spatial memory. But researchers have long wondered whether rats can navigate an environment like humans can. The problem, until now, was finding a way to test that. For the new experiment, scientists spent years developing virtual reality for rats — a brain machine that could help them answer this question. First, they implanted electrodes (电极) into the animals’ brains to record activity in their hippocampus. Then, they put the animals just on a ball-shaped running machine and supported them with a 360-degree screen showing a virtual reality environment. As the rats ran on the running machine, they moved through the virtual environment in the screen. Researchers trained them to navigate to specific areas by rewarding them with a bit of sugar water. In another part of the experiment, they severed the running machine, leaving the rats to navigate the virtual reality environment using only their minds. In this task, the brain machine translated the animals’ brain activity into motion on the screen. When the rats recreated the hippocampus activity associated with a specific location, the screen jumped to that site, where the rats got a reward. Three of the four rats tested were able to navigate the virtual reality tasks, according to The Washington Post. Together, the findings indicate rats can mentally navigate environments they’ve visited in the past, just like humans do. Rats can also, it seems, hold their thoughts on a specific location for several seconds. 32．(2.5分)What once confused the scientists before the experiment? A．How rats’ hippocampus works. B．The location of rats’ hippocampus. C．The structure of rats’ hippocampus. D．Whether rats have the ability to navigate. 33．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “severed” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Showed off. B．Switched off. C．Turned on. D．Gave away. 34．(2.5分)What can we conclude from the findings? A．The rats can go somewhere by memory. B．The rats can focus their minds for a long time. C．The rats can translate the brain activity into motion. D．The rats can imagine something they’ve never seen. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Rats Can Use Imagination As Well As Humans Do B．Scientists Used Brain Machine to Test Rats’ Imagination C．Rats Can Use Imagination to Navigate in Virtual Reality D．Scientists Invented a Machine That Creates Virtual Reality 【答案】32．D 33．B 34．A 35．C 【导语】文章主要介绍一项发表在《科学》杂志上的新研究，实验证明老鼠和人类一样，可以依靠大脑想象，在虚拟现实中凭借思维完成环境导航。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据原文第二段“But researchers have long wondered whether rats can navigate an environment like humans can.(但是研究人员一直想知道老鼠是否能够像人类一样对环境进行导航。)”可知，在实验之前困扰科学家的问题是老鼠是否具备导航的能力。 33．词句猜测题。根据原文第四段“As the rats ran on the running machine, they moved through the virtual environment in the screen.(当老鼠在跑步机上奔跑时，它们就在屏幕的虚拟环境中移动。)”以及“In another part of the experiment, they severed the running machine, leaving the rats to navigate the virtual reality environment using only their minds.(在实验的另一部分，他们severed跑步机，让老鼠只依靠大脑思维来导航虚拟现实环境。)”可知，前后实验形成对比，前一组老鼠依靠跑步机跑动操控虚拟场景，后一组不再使用跑步机，只靠思维。由此推断severed表示“关闭”。 34．推理判断题。根据原文第五段“Together, the findings indicate rats can mentally navigate environments they’ve visited in the past, just like humans do.(总而言之，这些研究结果表明老鼠可以像人类一样，在脑海中对它们曾经去过的环境进行导航。)”可知，老鼠能够凭借记忆去往某些地方。 35．主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“According to a new study published in the journal Science, rats, like humans, can use their brains to imagine walking to a new location or moving a virtual item to a new place, even when they are physically sitting still.(根据发表在《科学》期刊上的一项新研究，老鼠和人类一样，即便身体保持静止，也可以用大脑想象走到新地点或者把虚拟物品移动到新位置。)”以及全文实验内容可知，实验证明老鼠和人类一样，可以依靠大脑想象，在虚拟现实中凭借思维完成环境导航。故本文最佳标题是“老鼠可以运用想象力在虚拟现实中导航”。 （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）It happened in Australia’s Kakadu National Park.

Earlier this spring, her class visited a local wildlife rescue center on a school field trip. Ms. Parker, one of the wildlife workers, introduced how injured and orphaned animals were cared for by trained staff. Birds received proper food and care, and young ones often practiced flying with others before being released into the wild. Jane found the talk fascinating, though she never imagined it would become relevant to her own life. One Saturday morning, Jane heard faint chirping (唧唧叫) coming from the balcony outside her bedroom. Looking out, she spotted a tiny robin (知更鸟) chick in a flower pot. It seemed to have fallen from a nearby nest. Jane and her mother waited for hours, hoping the mother bird would return, but she never showed up. Jane felt sorry for the tiny bird. Luckily, it looked healthy, and its fluffy feathers and cheerful chirps quickly won her heart. “Can we keep him for a few days?” she begged. Her mother hesitated. “We can try, but remember — we don’t know much about caring for wild birds, and our home may not be the best place for one.” Still, Jane was eager to help. At home, she and her mother turned an old aquarium (鱼缸) into a temporary nest. Then they put it on the living room table for observation. Jane carefully fed the chick worms and named him Chick-a-dude. The little robin ate and drank regularly each day, hopping around quietly in its makeshift home. Staring at the fluffy little creature, Jane was filled with delight. However, as time passed, doubts began to creep in. Neither Jane nor her mother had any experience caring for wild birds, and they often wondered whether they were meeting all of the chick’s needs. Things became even more difficult because of Misty, their large Labrador dog. Ever since Chick-a-dude arrived, Misty had watched the aquarium closely and barked whenever the chick moved. One afternoon, Jane was doing homework when loud barking suddenly erupted from the living room. Terrified, Chick-a-dude fluttered (振翅) wildly out of the aquarium as Misty jumped excitedly around him. 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。 Alarmed, Jane rushed forward without hesitation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Jane set off for the wildlife rescue center with Chick-a-dude. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Alarmed, Jane rushed forward without hesitation. Her heart pounded as she scooped Chick-a-dude up before he could fly any farther. Nearby, Misty was still barking excitedly and trying to follow the bird’s movements. “It’s okay. You’re safe now,” Jane whispered, gently holding the trembling chick. Looking at the frightened bird, Jane suddenly felt uneasy. Misty’s constant attention, the stress of keeping the chick indoors, and her own lack of experience all made her realize that their home might not be the right place for him. She talked with her mother about her concerns and finally made up her mind. The next morning, Jane set off for the wildlife rescue center with Chick-a-dude. When she got there, she was delighted to see Ms. Parker again. After hearing the story, she smiled warmly and assured Jane that they would take good care of the little bird. Seeing Jane’s worried expression, Ms. Parker patiently explained that Chick-a-dude would receive proper food, careful monitoring, and opportunities to practice flying with other young birds. Hearing this, Jane felt a deep sense of relief. Although she would miss his cheerful chirps, she finally understood that loving a wild animal did not mean keeping it close. Sometimes, it meant helping it return to where it truly belonged. 【导语】本文讲述了简参观野生动物救助中心后，偶然捡到掉落鸟巢的知更鸟幼雏，和妈妈临时照料它。家中大狗惊扰小鸟，加上缺乏专业养护知识，简意识到自家不适合饲养。她忍痛将小鸟送往救助中心，也明白了爱野生动物不应私自圈养，而应让它回归自然。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写简意识到自家不适合饲养。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写简忍痛将小鸟送往救助中心，也明白了爱野生动物不应私自圈养，而应让它回归自然。 2.续写线索：捡起小鸟——感到不安——打算送走——送往救助中心——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①跳动：pound/race ②到达：get/arrive 情绪类 ①不安：uneasy/restless ②高兴：delighted/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her heart pounded as she scooped Chick-a-dude up before he could fly any farther.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] When she got there, she was delighted to see Ms. Parker again.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。I have a beautiful garden in my backyard.
