For architect Oscar Andrés Méndez and his business partner, electronics engineer Isabel Cristina Gámez, that inspiration led to an invention. Their Colombia-based company, Conceptos Plásticos, transforms plastic, including bags, snack-food containers, and shampoo bottles, into a modular building system of bricks and columns. The Lego-like blocks are made of about 95 percent plastic; builders only need to supply a roof and windows. A typical two-bedroom house recovers some six tons of plastic and can be built in about five days at a cost of anywhere from 4,000 to 7,000 — far cheaper than traditional construction. The structures are also earthquake-resistant, fireproof, and durable. Initially, Conceptos Plásticos partnered with private companies to build houses and schools in Colombia. Years ago, they learned from UNICEF’s representative in Côte d’Ivoire about plastic waste blocking drains and the shortage of schools in the country. Visiting Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, they were moved to see women carrying children while collecting plastic for little pay. “We have the solution,” Méndez remembers thinking. Conceptos Plásticos had the technology. They just needed to share it. As part of a three-million-dollar deal with UNICEF, Conceptos Plásticos built a new factory in Abidjan and hired workers, mainly women, to source the plastic needed. So far, over 4,000 tons of plastic have been transformed into more than 550 classrooms. The effort has created a circular economy (循环经济) that removes waste from the environment, improves the educational system by way of well-designed buildings, and creates jobs. Méndez and Gámez are now negotiating a similar school project in Ethiopia and investigating how to build bathrooms in poor areas in South Sudan. To share their technology in places where building new factories may present challenges, the partners recently designed a smaller version of their system that can be transported in a 40-foot container. It may run on waste, but the concept is not just beautiful but brilliant. 24．(2.5分)What can be learned about Méndez and Gámez’s invention? A．It supplies roofs and windows. B．It creates new plastic materials. C．It turns waste into treasure. D．It improves builders’ safety. 25．(2.5分)Which of the following can best describe Conceptos Plásticos’ product? A．Flexible and free. B．Time-consuming but green. C．Labour-intensive but cheap. D．Economical and sustainable. 26．(2.5分)What does the specific data in Paragraph 4 imply? A．The scale of plastic waste. B．The impact of the project. C．The efforts made by local government. D．The challenges Conceptos Plásticos faced. 27．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude toward the project of Conceptos Plásticos? A．Doubtful but tolerant. B．Positive and admiring. C．Critical but objective. D．Uncertain and unconcerned. （本题10分）Phood is a green-minded urban farm and not-for-profit business based in Eindhoven, Netherlands. With a mission to make the most of positive impact on both the environment and society, Phood began as a food truck serving nutritious meals, but has since grown into a community farming project. It now produces sustainable (可持续的) food while supporting individuals facing social challenges and equipping them with tools to overcome challenges and transform them into positive outcomes. Phood’s philosophy focuses on reconnecting the city, nature, and people. As noted by Hactivist Guide, it transforms food production into a platform for personal engagement, emphasizing accessible community education and the benefits of working with nature. At the Phood Farm Picking Garden, community members can pick their own vegetables and receive discounts at the farm shop, which sells microgreens, mushrooms, kombucha, and oils. Located on a 1.5-acre plot, the farm grows seasonal vegetables, fruits and flowers, using sustainable practices. Participants learn about permaculture and aquaponics through hands-on workshops. The goal is to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that harmonizes human activity with nature, promoting regeneration rather than depletion (消耗). Beyond environmental goals, Phood supports social growth. It offers a supportive environment for those with conditions like ADHD and burnout. Participants work alongside trained supervisors, who provide guidance and tools such as Tai Chi to help them recover in a fast-paced world. This caring environment allows individuals to develop confidence, learn skills, and feel a sense of belonging. Phood views growth as a gradual process, much like growing plants. It provides encouragement, development opportunities, and a pressure-free space for all. Staff members report that participants often experience significant growth in self-confidence. Looking ahead, the organization hopes to establish a long-lasting food location nearby in which they will grow leafy greens for local households and restaurants, employ more young people, and assist other cities in developing urban farms. 28．(2.5分)What can be learned about Phood? A．It’s a delivery service. B．It develops from a farming project. C．It’s a restaurant chain. D．It promotes community involvement. 29．(2.5分)What does Phood do to benefit the society? A．It teaches people practical communication skills. B．It raises money for people in financial trouble. C．It educates the residents to make sensible food choices. D．It provides an encouraging environment for those struggling. 30．(2.5分)Which of the following is on Phood’s to-do list? A．To seek its expansion. B．To explore its impact. C．To find new partners. D．To sell local products. 31．(2.5分)What would be a suitable title for the text? A．Green Farming: An Amazing Success Story B．Green Farming: An Innovative Solution for Agriculture C．Phood: Feeding the Community while Developing Sustainability D．Phood: Experimenting a New Approach to Removing Hunger （本题10分）Readers may be familiar with the humorous idea that humans are only the third-cleverest species on Earth after mice and dolphins. But perhaps Douglas Adams should have included dolphins’ cetacean cousins. In a paper just published in Open Mind, CETI researchers describe a strikingly human-like feature in whale communication. Sperm whales communicate using a series of clicks researchers call “codas”, which look a lot like vowels in human languages. For linguists, vowels are characterized by the free flow of air through a vibrating vocal tract. In contrast, consonants involve disruptions of the airflow. A vowel’s basic pitch(technically called F0)is determined by the speaker’s sex and body size. But by moving tongue and lips we shape the sound into higher-pitched “formants”(F1, F2, F3, etc.). Whether we hear an “ah” or an “ee” depends on the relationship between these formants. To humans, sperm-whale codas do not sound like pitches at all; the clicks are much too infrequent and irregular. The clicks become a continuous tone only when they occur 20 to 40 times per second. But when the whales’ silences were removed in software, the researchers could consider them as pitches nevertheless, and look more closely at their other qualities. The next step was taken with the help of artificial intelligence(AI). The researchers used an AI system trained to learn human language to examine the codas. Gasper Begus, a linguist at the University of California and the study’s lead author, says that the AI led them to study the pitch patterns of the clicks — ones that work like human vowel sounds. Sure enough, the whale codas contained two sound patterns resembling those in the F1 and F2 formants of human vowels, but at a much lower pitch. Based on this resemblance, the researchers called them the a-coda and i-coda vowels. They even found that whales could produce diphthongs — two vowels gliding quickly from one to another, like the ah-ee sound in English words like “ride” and “time”. The whales do all this often in what researchers call “conversations”. Exactly what the whales may be saying to each other remains unknown — although working that out is CETI’s eventual goal. That will require a large body of vocalizations to study, as well as an equally big number of observations of how the animals behave and interact with each other. 32．(2.5分)Why does the author refer to Douglas Adams’s joke about mice, dolphins and humans? A．To illustrate a point B．To give an example C．To make a comparison D．To introduce a topic 33．(2.5分)What does the word “disruptions” underlined in paragraph 2 mean? A．complete stops B．breaks in flow C．increases in speed D．extra energy 34．(2.5分)What do we know about sperm whales from the passage? A．They communicate in quite a similar way to humans. B．They produce continuous clicks that sound like pitches. C．They create click patterns resembling human vowels. D．They could produce diphthongs like “ride” and “time”. 35．(2.5分)What can we infer about the CETI researchers from the last paragraph? A．They have paid more attention to the whales’ vocalizations than to their behaviors. B．They have uncovered the nature of the whales’ social behaviors and interactions. C．They will decode the whales’ calls by observing their behaviors and interactions. D．They will carry out more research to better understand the whales’ conversations. （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.

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 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 6 Earth First（较难版02） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What will the speakers do this Saturday?

For architect Oscar Andrés Méndez and his business partner, electronics engineer Isabel Cristina Gámez, that inspiration led to an invention. Their Colombia-based company, Conceptos Plásticos, transforms plastic, including bags, snack-food containers, and shampoo bottles, into a modular building system of bricks and columns. The Lego-like blocks are made of about 95 percent plastic; builders only need to supply a roof and windows. A typical two-bedroom house recovers some six tons of plastic and can be built in about five days at a cost of anywhere from 4,000 to 7,000 — far cheaper than traditional construction. The structures are also earthquake-resistant, fireproof, and durable. Initially, Conceptos Plásticos partnered with private companies to build houses and schools in Colombia. Years ago, they learned from UNICEF’s representative in Côte d’Ivoire about plastic waste blocking drains and the shortage of schools in the country. Visiting Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, they were moved to see women carrying children while collecting plastic for little pay. “We have the solution,” Méndez remembers thinking. Conceptos Plásticos had the technology. They just needed to share it. As part of a three-million-dollar deal with UNICEF, Conceptos Plásticos built a new factory in Abidjan and hired workers, mainly women, to source the plastic needed. So far, over 4,000 tons of plastic have been transformed into more than 550 classrooms. The effort has created a circular economy (循环经济) that removes waste from the environment, improves the educational system by way of well-designed buildings, and creates jobs. Méndez and Gámez are now negotiating a similar school project in Ethiopia and investigating how to build bathrooms in poor areas in South Sudan. To share their technology in places where building new factories may present challenges, the partners recently designed a smaller version of their system that can be transported in a 40-foot container. It may run on waste, but the concept is not just beautiful but brilliant. 24．(2.5分)What can be learned about Méndez and Gámez’s invention? A．It supplies roofs and windows. B．It creates new plastic materials. C．It turns waste into treasure. D．It improves builders’ safety. 25．(2.5分)Which of the following can best describe Conceptos Plásticos’ product? A．Flexible and free. B．Time-consuming but green. C．Labour-intensive but cheap. D．Economical and sustainable. 26．(2.5分)What does the specific data in Paragraph 4 imply? A．The scale of plastic waste. B．The impact of the project. C．The efforts made by local government. D．The challenges Conceptos Plásticos faced. 27．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude toward the project of Conceptos Plásticos? A．Doubtful but tolerant. B．Positive and admiring. C．Critical but objective. D．Uncertain and unconcerned. 【答案】24．C 25．D 26．B 27．B 【导语】本文讲述的是Méndez和Gámez发明用塑料垃圾建造房屋的技术，帮助解决住房问题，已在科特迪瓦建起550多间教室，该项目经济环保且具有社会效益。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“What if you could use the plastic waste littering your home country to help solve its housing crisis?(如果你能用散落在祖国的塑料垃圾来帮助解决住房危机呢？)”以及“ Their Colombia-based company, Conceptos Plásticos, transforms plastic, including bags, snack-food containers, and shampoo bottles, into a modular building system of bricks and columns.( 他们位于哥伦比亚的公司Conceptos Plásticos将塑料包括塑料袋、零食容器和洗发水瓶等转化为由砖块和柱子组成的模块化建筑系统。)”可知，他们的发明将原本造成污染的塑料垃圾变成了有用的建筑材料，即变废为宝。 25．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“A typical two-bedroom house recovers some six tons of plastic and can be built in about five days at a cost of anywhere from 4,000 to 7,000-far cheaper than traditional construction.(一栋典型的两居室住宅可回收约六吨塑料并且大约五天就能建成，成本在4000到7000之间——比传统建筑便宜得多。)”可知，其产品具有经济性；同时结合第一段“ Their Colombia-based company, Conceptos Plásticos, transforms plastic, including bags, snack-food containers, and shampoo bottles, into a modular building system of bricks and columns.(他们位于哥伦比亚的公司Conceptos Plásticos将塑料包括塑料袋、零食容器和洗发水瓶等转化为由砖块和柱子组成的模块化建筑系统。)”可知，该产品是环保且可持续的。D选项“Economical and sustainable.(经济且可持续)”符合题意。 26．推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“So far, over 4,000 tons of plastic have been transformed into more than 550 classrooms.

But perhaps Douglas Adams should have included dolphins’ cetacean cousins. In a paper just published in Open Mind, CETI researchers describe a strikingly human-like feature in whale communication. Sperm whales communicate using a series of clicks researchers call “codas”, which look a lot like vowels in human languages. For linguists, vowels are characterized by the free flow of air through a vibrating vocal tract. In contrast, consonants involve disruptions of the airflow. A vowel’s basic pitch(technically called F0)is determined by the speaker’s sex and body size. But by moving tongue and lips we shape the sound into higher-pitched “formants”(F1, F2, F3, etc.). Whether we hear an “ah” or an “ee” depends on the relationship between these formants. To humans, sperm-whale codas do not sound like pitches at all; the clicks are much too infrequent and irregular. The clicks become a continuous tone only when they occur 20 to 40 times per second. But when the whales’ silences were removed in software, the researchers could consider them as pitches nevertheless, and look more closely at their other qualities. The next step was taken with the help of artificial intelligence(AI). The researchers used an AI system trained to learn human language to examine the codas. Gasper Begus, a linguist at the University of California and the study’s lead author, says that the AI led them to study the pitch patterns of the clicks — ones that work like human vowel sounds. Sure enough, the whale codas contained two sound patterns resembling those in the F1 and F2 formants of human vowels, but at a much lower pitch. Based on this resemblance, the researchers called them the a-coda and i-coda vowels. They even found that whales could produce diphthongs — two vowels gliding quickly from one to another, like the ah-ee sound in English words like “ride” and “time”. The whales do all this often in what researchers call “conversations”. Exactly what the whales may be saying to each other remains unknown — although working that out is CETI’s eventual goal. That will require a large body of vocalizations to study, as well as an equally big number of observations of how the animals behave and interact with each other. 32．(2.5分)Why does the author refer to Douglas Adams’s joke about mice, dolphins and humans? A．To illustrate a point B．To give an example C．To make a comparison D．To introduce a topic 33．(2.5分)What does the word “disruptions” underlined in paragraph 2 mean? A．complete stops B．breaks in flow C．increases in speed D．extra energy 34．(2.5分)What do we know about sperm whales from the passage? A．They communicate in quite a similar way to humans. B．They produce continuous clicks that sound like pitches. C．They create click patterns resembling human vowels. D．They could produce diphthongs like “ride” and “time”. 35．(2.5分)What can we infer about the CETI researchers from the last paragraph? A．They have paid more attention to the whales’ vocalizations than to their behaviors. B．They have uncovered the nature of the whales’ social behaviors and interactions. C．They will decode the whales’ calls by observing their behaviors and interactions. D．They will carry out more research to better understand the whales’ conversations. 【答案】32．D 33．B 34．C 35．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现，抹香鲸的咔哒交流声（尾音）与人类元音的音峰模式高度相似，甚至能发出双元音。目前其具体含义仍未知，研究人员将开展更多研究以破解它们的交流内容。 32．推理判断题。根据第一段“Readers may be familiar with the humorous idea that humans are only the third-cleverest species on Earth after mice and dolphins. But perhaps Douglas Adams should have included dolphins’ cetacean cousins. In a paper just published in Open Mind, CETI researchers describe a strikingly human-like feature in whale communication. Sperm whales communicate using a series of clicks researchers call “codas”, which look a lot like vowels in human languages.( 读者们或许都听说过这样一个有趣的说法：人类在地球上仅次于老鼠和海豚的智力排名中仅位列第三。但或许道格拉斯·亚当斯本应该把海豚的鲸类近亲也纳入其中。在刚刚发表于《开放思维》杂志的一篇论文中，CETI研究人员描述了鲸鱼交流中一个与人类极为相似的特征。抹香鲸通过一系列的咔哒声进行交流，研究人员将这些咔哒声称为“尾音”，它们看起来与人类语言中的元音非常相似。)”可知，文章开头用幽默的说法引出海豚、鲸鱼这类动物，随后转入核心话题：鲸鱼的交流方式存在类似人类语言的特征。引用笑话的目的是引出本文主题。故选D项。 33．词句猜测题。划线词所在句中的“In contrast(相比之下)”一词明确和前一句建立了对比关系。前一句“For linguists, vowels are characterized by the free flow of air through a vibrating vocal tract.( 对于语言学家来说，元音的特点是空气在振动的声道中自由流动。)”指出“元音的特点是气流自由通过振动的声道”，由此可推断，后一句所描述的辅音应与“自由通过”形成相反情况，即气流会受到某种阻碍或干扰。因此，“disruptions”在此语境中应理解为“气流的中断或阻断”。故选B。 34．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Sperm whales communicate using a series of clicks researchers call “codas”, which look a lot like vowels in human languages.( 抹香鲸通过一系列的咔哒声进行交流，研究人员将这些咔哒声称为“尾音”，它们看起来与人类语言中的元音非常相似。)”以及第五段中“Sure enough, the whale codas contained two sound patterns resembling those in the F1 and F2 formants of human vowels, but at a much lower pitch.( 果然，鲸鱼的尾音包含了两种类似于人类元音 F1 和 F2 形成频率的音调模式，但音调要低得多。)”可知，抹香鲸的尾音（咔哒声模式）与人类元音相似。故选C项。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Exactly what the whales may be saying to each other remains unknown — although working that out is CETI’s eventual goal. That will require a large body of vocalizations to study, as well as an equally big number of observations of how the animals behave and interact with each other.( 至于鲸鱼之间究竟在彼此传达什么信息，目前仍不得而知——尽管弄清楚这一点是 CETI的最终目标。这将需要大量的声音记录来进行研究，同时还需要对这些动物的行为以及它们之间的互动进行大量的观察。)”可推知，目前仍未弄懂鲸鱼的交流内容，研究人员需要开展更多研究。故选D项。 （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. (尤其是根系，它们会被涝死。)”承接上文，进一步说明过度浇水的危害。 40．前文“Check to see if your plants’ roots are overgrown in the bottom of the pot. (查看花盆底部，看植物根系是否已经长得过于茂密。)”提到植物根系在花盆底部过度生长的情况，后文“But be sure the pots have holes cut in the bottoms so that extra water can get out. (但花盆底部务必留有排水孔，让多余的水可以流出去。)”说花盆需有排水孔，G选项“That means you should re-pot the plant in a new, larger pot.(这意味着你要将植物移栽到更大的新花盆中。)”承上启下，给出前文对应的解决办法，与后文的内容衔接自然，选项中的“That means”指代前文“根系过度生长”这件事。 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.

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。Our class plans to visit the science museum this saturday. but I heard the river bank is full of litter.
