Among these, four sites stand out for ecological significance and scenery, serving as wildlife reserves and symbols of China’s conservation commitment. ● Jiuzhaigou National Park, in Sichuan’s Minshan Mountains, is famous for crystal-clear alpine lakes and vibrant autumn foliage. Its sky-blued lakes, fed by glaciers and springs, reflect snow-capped peaks. A 1992 UNESCO World Heritage Site, it habitats giant pandas, supporting over 2,000 plant and 400 animal species. In 2017, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake damaged its landscapes, but careful restoration revived most of its original charm. ● Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve, on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is called the “Water Tower of Asia”. As the source of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang (Mekong) rivers, it supplies water to nearly half of China’s population and millions in Southeast Asia. Spanning 318,000 square kilometers, it homes Tibetan antelopes. Climate change causes glacial retreat, leading to adaptive measures like grassland enclosures. ● Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, on Hainan Island, is China’s only tropical rainforest protected area. Covering 4,400 square kilometers, it has over 5,000 plant species (15% native) and 340 bird species, including the critically endangered Hainan gibbon (长臂猿) (around 37 left). The rainforest resists typhoons, regulating the island’s climate. Recent years have seen community-involved conservation, with locals shifting from logging to eco-tourism for income and less ecosystem impact. ● Wuyi Mountain National Park, across Fujian and Jiangxi, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for both natural and cultural value. Its steep (崎岖的) Danxia landforms (red sandstone peaks) pair with thick forests housing Chinese giant salamanders (火蜥蜴). It also has ancient tea plantations and Han Dynasty archaeological sites. A visitor quota system limits daily entries to balance conservation and tourism. These four areas show China’s holistic (整体的) conservation approach — combining strict protection, sustainable development and public education. As China expands its national park system, they remain beacons of human-nature harmony. 21．(2.5分)Which of the following is a challenge that Jiuzhaigou National Park has overcome? A．A decline in the number of giant pandas. B．Overcrowding from excessive tourism. C．Severe damage caused by an earthquake. D．Pollution of its crystal-clear alpine lakes. 22．(2.5分)What makes Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve crucial to millions of people? A．Its unique grasslands and wetlands. B．Its function as the source of three major rivers. C．Its role as a habitat for the Tibetan antelope. D．Its strict measures against climate change. 23．(2.5分)What do the last two national parks have in common? A．Both are home to the world’s rarest primates (灵长目动物). B．Both have carried out visitor quota systems. C．Both are located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. D．Both combine natural value with cultural significance. （本题10分）They now call it “Batesian mimicry” — the amazing skill for survival I first saw in the whispering green of the Amazon. I am Henry Walter Bates. My story began not with butterflies, but as the eldest son of a stocking (长袜) maker in Leicester. Yet, a boy’s passion for collecting insects and an important meeting with Alfred Russel Wallace, Darwin’s future co-theorist, sent me toward what he called “the great engine of change” in the tropics. For eleven years, the Amazon was my home, my school, and my proving ground. I faced constant dangers, from disease-carrying mosquitoes and snakes to flooding rains. I was struck down by both yellow fever and malaria. My routine was strict: mornings collecting, afternoons reading and preparing my finds. I was usually in bed by nine. My field journals, filled with detailed drawings and notes in dark ink, were my defense against the dampness and insects. I learned the local languages and customs, for without the crucial guidance of its people, I would have been completely lost in that vast wilderness. It was a time of extraordinary variety. I brought back over 14,000 kinds of insects — 8,000 new to science. But the real wonder was not the count, but a pattern I noticed. It started with a puzzle: why could slow-flying butterflies like the Heliconius escape birds? Later I discovered they were poisonous and bitter-tasting. Then the deeper truth emerged: harmless Dismorphia had evolved to copy the bright warning colours of the Heliconius. These mimics, avoided by their natural enemies, survived to pass on their colours. Here was evolution by natural selection, written plainly on butterfly wings. I published my paper in 1862, three years after Darwin’s On the Origin of Species. That this “mimicry”, discovered in remote jungles, could offer timely field support for his great theory remains my proudest achievement. They say I “wrote the book” on field study. I simply followed my fascination, one find at a time, from my father’s Leicester workshop into the heart of nature’s grandest design. 24．(2.5分)Who was Henry Walter Bates? A．A stocking maker from Leicester. B．Darwin’s co-theorist on evolution. C．A scientist who studied insects. D．A writer documenting tropical life. 25．(2.5分)What did Bates consider was essential to his life and work in the Amazon? A．Keeping a strict daily schedule. B．Getting assistance from the locals. C．Collecting and studying samples. D．Staying healthy in the rainforest. 26．(2.5分)What was the pattern Bates discovered? A．Birds avoided eating bitter-tasting insects. B．Slow-flying butterflies escaped birds’ attack. C．The bright colours of butterflies signalled danger. D．Harmless species copied the look of poisonous ones. 27．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Bates? A．Brave and passionate. B．Strict and humble. C．Ambitious and sociable. D．Independent and proud. （本题10分）Local volunteer groups have become an important driving force for ecological protection on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (高原). Many people have the wrong idea that wildlife protection only means saving one rare animal. In fact, real ecosystem protection refers to protecting whole food chains and natural habitats. A healthy ecosystem means a balance among plants, animals, and tiny living things that break down waste. Losing even one small part can cause big problems. Volunteers in high areas do many practical field tasks. They walk into rivers to pick up floating rubbish, often filling many bags each time. They keep records of wild animal movements, writing down the types, numbers, and places. They also remove harmful plants that grow too fast and hurt local plants. Most of these volunteers are local people. They know the land well and understand seasonal changes, so they are good at outdoor work. Before they start, they receive training from environmental researchers. They learn how to recognize different animals and plants and how to use simple tools. Working on the plateau is physically hard. The air is thin above 4,000 meters, so even walking feels tiring. Strong sunlight can hurt skin quickly. Cold winds blow often, especially in winter. But their work does not try to make fast changes. Instead, they focus on long-term watching and slow improvement. Some projects may take years to show clear results. Local people combine their old knowledge with modern protection methods. For example, they use traditional ways of raising farm animals to avoid disturbing wildlife when they have babies. Experts say that community-led volunteer work is a useful addition to government protection programs. Government teams often work in large nature reserves, while local volunteers help in smaller, faraway places. When locals and researchers work together, they get better results for the plateau’s fragile environment. 28．(2.5分)How does the author explain “a healthy ecosystem” in Paragraph 1? A．By giving a typical example. B．By giving a clear definition. C．By telling a detailed story. D．By comparing diverse ideas. 29．(2.5分)What makes local people good at field work? A．They have modern tools. B．They work for the government. C．They receive a high pay. D．They know the land and seasons. 30．(2.5分)What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The training volunteers receive. B．The beauty of the plateau land. C．The challenges volunteers face. D．The fast results of their work. 31．(2.5分)What’s the best structure of the passage? A．Clarification → Actions → Difficulties → Significance B．Concept → Examples → Comparison → Prediction C．Background → Story → Analysis → Suggestion D．Problem → Practices → Examples → Solution （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）Stargazing offers a breathtaking connection to the universe, yet many people miss out on this experience due to a few easily overlooked factors. Anyone can enjoy an unforgettable journey through the universe. 36(2.5分) Avoid light pollution. Light pollution results from the overused or poorly directed artificial light produced by cities, streetlights, buildings, and vehicles. It creates a glowing mist that hides faint stars and other objects in the sky. No stargazer wants such an obstacle to spoil the view. 37(2.5分) If you’re observing from home, consider using professional instruments that direct light downward.Consider the moon. The moon, our closest neighbor in space, goes through a monthly cycle of phases that greatly affect stargazing conditions. The best time to observe the stars is during the new moon, when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun and remains invisible, leaving the sky at its darkest. 38(2.5分) Height matters. To get a clear view of the sky, it’s important to choose a location free from surrounding buildings. 39(2.5分) If traveling to the countryside isn’t an option, try to get to a higher spot. The rooftop of a tall building, for instance, can help you rise above nearby structures and improve your view. Look for accessible buildings in your area that might offer this advantage. 40(2.5分) Timing plays a key role in what you’ll see in the night sky. Winter generally offers the clearest skies because cold air holds less moisture-just remember to dress warmly. Summer skies bring a different set of star groups and often present a stunning view of the Milky Way. Beginners may find dusk, just after sunset, a good time to start, while serious stargazers with better equipment often prefer the late-night hours. A．Pick the right time. B．Take account of the season. C．Rural areas are ideal for this. D．All you need is a little preparation and knowledge. E．Using a telescope can greatly enhance your viewing experience. F．It’s best to avoid nights with a full moon for better star visibility. G．If possible, visit a dark park that is specially meant for stargazing. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）It was an October afternoon on the coast when the Marine Mammal Center got a call on its public hotline. There were 41 cries coming from the freezing waters in Morro Bay. The center’s experts were able to 42 that the calls — which sounded almost like a human baby screaming — were coming from a(n) 43 2-week-old sea otter (獭) pup (幼崽) that had been separated from its mother. That could be 44 for the young sea otter and it could die, according to Shayla Zink, who works at the center. “That pup is really 45 everything it learns from the mother to be able to survive in the ocean,” Zink said. The employees at the center jumped into action without 46 . First, they put the baby otter, whom they named “Caterpillar,” into a safe container where it wouldn’t overheat. Then, they recorded the 47 of the pup’s frightened cries. The plan was to 48 the mother towards the boat by broadcasting the pup’s cries through a Bluetooth speaker. Eventually, a female otter 49 the boat. Once Zink felt certain that the otter was looking for her baby, she 50 the pup into the water. Instantly, the mom 51 her baby in her arms and appeared to smell him, 52 her small hands over his fur. The 53 has bigger significance to the region, where sea otters play a crucial role in 54 biodiversity. “It’s just a really special 55 to see them gather together, because every individual in this population is of great importance in keeping it going and bringing it back from that threatened status,” Zink said. 41．(1分)A．awful B．painful C．doubtful D．cheerful 42．(1分)A．guess B．recall C．imagine D．determine 43．(1分)A．annoyed B．excited C．scared D．confused 44．(1分)A．unique B．common C．dangerous D．comfortable 45．(1分)A．relying on B．handing out C．contributing to D．springing into 46．(1分)A．delay B．doubt C．exception D．permission 47．(1分)A．action B．sound C．behaviour D．expression 48．(1分)A．cheat B．protect C．attract D．comfort 49．(1分)A．left B．avoided C．controlled D．followed 50．(1分)A．brought B．lowered C．replaced D．attacked 51．(1分)A．threw B．grabbed C．affected D．ignored 52．(1分)A．running B．placing C．pushing D．drawing 53．(1分)A．condition B．ambition C．reunion D．decision 54．(1分)A．destroying B．restricting C．identifying D．preserving 55．(1分)A．duty B．lesson C．example D．moment 四、语法填空 （本题15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 For thousands of years, Chinese people have looked up at the stars and longed intensely 56(1.5分) the mysterious infinite universe. Our ancestors recorded countless star-watching stories across dynasties, thus 57(1.5分) (create) inspiring cultural phenomena recorded in ancient poems and professional observatories. Only by observing astronomical laws diligently 58(1.5分) our ancestors manage to accumulate reliable data for accurate seasonal judgment. The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, standing in Guizhou’s remote mountainous areas, is far more powerful when 59(1.5分) (compare) with ordinary astronomical devices.

I’m Barbara Klein. This week, I’ll tell something about sharks. They are among the oldest animals on the Earth. Sharks are most famous for attacking other sea creatures. Yet they have been threatened by human activities. Scientists say sharks have lived in the world’s oceans for millions of years. Today, there are more than 500 different kinds of sharks. Most sharks are about two meters long. And the biggest whale shark can grow to a length of twenty meters. Sharks have an extremely good sense of smell. They also sense electrical power linked to muscles of living animals. These powerful senses mainly help them find their food. They eat fish, other sharks and plants. Some sharks can be found in rivers. Most sharks live in warm oceans. However, some sharks leave ocean waters to enter freshwater rivers and lakes. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）China’s Pristine Paradises: National Parks and Nature Reserves China boasts amazing biodiversity and breathtaking landscapes, with a network of protected areas safeguarding its natural heritage. Among these, four sites stand out for ecological significance and scenery, serving as wildlife reserves and symbols of China’s conservation commitment. ● Jiuzhaigou National Park, in Sichuan’s Minshan Mountains, is famous for crystal-clear alpine lakes and vibrant autumn foliage. Its sky-blued lakes, fed by glaciers and springs, reflect snow-capped peaks. A 1992 UNESCO World Heritage Site, it habitats giant pandas, supporting over 2,000 plant and 400 animal species. In 2017, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake damaged its landscapes, but careful restoration revived most of its original charm. ● Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve, on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is called the “Water Tower of Asia”. As the source of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang (Mekong) rivers, it supplies water to nearly half of China’s population and millions in Southeast Asia. Spanning 318,000 square kilometers, it homes Tibetan antelopes. Climate change causes glacial retreat, leading to adaptive measures like grassland enclosures. ● Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, on Hainan Island, is China’s only tropical rainforest protected area. Covering 4,400 square kilometers, it has over 5,000 plant species (15% native) and 340 bird species, including the critically endangered Hainan gibbon (长臂猿) (around 37 left). The rainforest resists typhoons, regulating the island’s climate. Recent years have seen community-involved conservation, with locals shifting from logging to eco-tourism for income and less ecosystem impact. ● Wuyi Mountain National Park, across Fujian and Jiangxi, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for both natural and cultural value. Its steep (崎岖的) Danxia landforms (red sandstone peaks) pair with thick forests housing Chinese giant salamanders (火蜥蜴). It also has ancient tea plantations and Han Dynasty archaeological sites. A visitor quota system limits daily entries to balance conservation and tourism. These four areas show China’s holistic (整体的) conservation approach — combining strict protection, sustainable development and public education. As China expands its national park system, they remain beacons of human-nature harmony. 21．(2.5分)Which of the following is a challenge that Jiuzhaigou National Park has overcome? A．A decline in the number of giant pandas. B．Overcrowding from excessive tourism. C．Severe damage caused by an earthquake. D．Pollution of its crystal-clear alpine lakes. 22．(2.5分)What makes Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve crucial to millions of people? A．Its unique grasslands and wetlands. B．Its function as the source of three major rivers. C．Its role as a habitat for the Tibetan antelope. D．Its strict measures against climate change. 23．(2.5分)What do the last two national parks have in common? A．Both are home to the world’s rarest primates (灵长目动物). B．Both have carried out visitor quota systems. C．Both are located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. D．Both combine natural value with cultural significance. 【答案】21．C 22．B 23．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了中国四大国家公园和自然保护区：九寨沟、三江源、海南热带雨林、武夷山。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据Jiuzhaigou National Park部分的“In 2017, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake damaged its landscapes, but careful restoration revived most of its original charm. (2017年，一场7.0级地震破坏了它的景观，但通过精心修复，大部分原始风貌得以恢复。)”可知，九寨沟国家公园克服的挑战是地震造成的严重破坏。故选C项。 22．细节理解题。根据Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve部分的“As the source of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang (Mekong) rivers, it supplies water to nearly half of China’s population and millions in Southeast Asia. (作为长江、黄河和澜沧江（湄公河）的源头，它为近半数中国人口及东南亚数百万人提供水源。)”可知，三江源国家级自然保护区的关键意义在于它是三大河流的源头。故选B项。 23．细节理解题。根据Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park部分的“The rainforest resists typhoons, regulating the island’s climate. Recent years have seen community-involved conservation, with locals shifting from logging to eco-tourism for income and less ecosystem impact. (热带雨林抵御台风，调节着岛上的气候。近年来出现了社区参与的保护，当地人从伐木转向生态旅游，以获得收入，减少对生态系统的影响。)”可知，海南热带雨林国家公园的雨林调节气候，社区参与保护该公园，体现自然与人文结合；再根据Wuyi Mountain National Park部分的“a UNESCO World Heritage Site for both natural and cultural value (因其自然和文化价值被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产)”和“It also has ancient tea plantations and Han Dynasty archaeological sites. (这里还有古老的茶园和汉代的考古遗址。)”可知，武夷山国家公园以自然与文化双重价值入选世界遗址，拥有古茶园和汉代遗址，两者的共同点是兼具自然价值与文化意义。故选D项。 （本题10分）They now call it “Batesian mimicry” — the amazing skill for survival I first saw in the whispering green of the Amazon. I am Henry Walter Bates. My story began not with butterflies, but as the eldest son of a stocking (长袜) maker in Leicester. Yet, a boy’s passion for collecting insects and an important meeting with Alfred Russel Wallace, Darwin’s future co-theorist, sent me toward what he called “the great engine of change” in the tropics. For eleven years, the Amazon was my home, my school, and my proving ground. I faced constant dangers, from disease-carrying mosquitoes and snakes to flooding rains. I was struck down by both yellow fever and malaria. My routine was strict: mornings collecting, afternoons reading and preparing my finds. I was usually in bed by nine. My field journals, filled with detailed drawings and notes in dark ink, were my defense against the dampness and insects. I learned the local languages and customs, for without the crucial guidance of its people, I would have been completely lost in that vast wilderness. It was a time of extraordinary variety. I brought back over 14,000 kinds of insects — 8,000 new to science. But the real wonder was not the count, but a pattern I noticed. It started with a puzzle: why could slow-flying butterflies like the Heliconius escape birds? Later I discovered they were poisonous and bitter-tasting. Then the deeper truth emerged: harmless Dismorphia had evolved to copy the bright warning colours of the Heliconius. These mimics, avoided by their natural enemies, survived to pass on their colours. Here was evolution by natural selection, written plainly on butterfly wings. I published my paper in 1862, three years after Darwin’s On the Origin of Species. That this “mimicry”, discovered in remote jungles, could offer timely field support for his great theory remains my proudest achievement. They say I “wrote the book” on field study. I simply followed my fascination, one find at a time, from my father’s Leicester workshop into the heart of nature’s grandest design. 24．(2.5分)Who was Henry Walter Bates? A．A stocking maker from Leicester. B．Darwin’s co-theorist on evolution. C．A scientist who studied insects. D．A writer documenting tropical life. 25．(2.5分)What did Bates consider was essential to his life and work in the Amazon? A．Keeping a strict daily schedule. B．Getting assistance from the locals. C．Collecting and studying samples. D．Staying healthy in the rainforest. 26．(2.5分)What was the pattern Bates discovered? A．Birds avoided eating bitter-tasting insects. B．Slow-flying butterflies escaped birds’ attack. C．The bright colours of butterflies signalled danger. D．Harmless species copied the look of poisonous ones. 27．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Bates? A．Brave and passionate. B．Strict and humble. C．Ambitious and sociable. D．Independent and proud. 【答案】24．C 25．B 26．D 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍昆虫学家亨利·沃尔特·贝茨在亚马逊的研究经历，发现贝氏拟态并为进化论提供重要实地证据。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I am Henry Walter Bates. My story began not with butterflies, but as the eldest son of a stocking (长袜) maker in Leicester. Yet, a boy’s passion for collecting insects and an important meeting with Alfred Russel Wallace, Darwin’s future co-theorist, sent me toward what he called “the great engine of change” in the tropics. (我是亨利·沃尔特·贝茨。我的故事并非始于蝴蝶，而是作为莱斯特一名长袜制造商的长子开始的。然而，一个男孩对收集昆虫的热情，以及与达尔文未来的共同理论家阿尔弗雷德·拉塞尔·华莱士的重要会面，使我走向了他所说的热带地区的“伟大变革引擎”。)”可知，亨利·沃尔特·贝茨是一位研究昆虫的科学家。故选C项。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I learned the local languages and customs, for without the crucial guidance of its people, I would have been completely lost in that vast wilderness.(我学习了当地的语言和习俗，要是没有当地人的关键指导，我在那片广袤的荒野中会完全迷失方向。)”可知，贝茨认为在亚马逊的生活和工作中，得到当地人的帮助是至关重要的。故选B项。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Later I discovered they were poisonous and bitter-tasting. Then the deeper truth emerged: harmless Dismorphia had evolved to copy the bright warning colours of the Heliconius.(后来我发现它们有毒且味道苦涩。随后更深层次的真相显现出来：无害的粉蝶进化出了模仿长翅蝶鲜艳警告色的能力。)”可知，贝茨发现的模式是无害物种模仿有毒物种的外观。故选D项。 27．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“For eleven years, the Amazon was my home, my school, and my proving ground. I faced constant dangers, from disease-carrying mosquitoes and snakes to flooding rains.(十一年来，亚马逊是我的家、我的学校和我的试验场。我不断面临危险，从携带疾病的蚊子、蛇到倾盆大雨。)”和第一段中的“Yet, a boy’s passion for collecting insects and an important meeting with Alfred Russel Wallace, Darwin’s future co-theorist, sent me toward what he called “the great engine of change” in the tropics. (然而，一个男孩对收集昆虫的热爱，以及与达尔文后来的理论合作者阿尔弗雷德·拉塞尔·华莱士的一次重要会面，将他引向了热带地区那被他称为“伟大的变革动力”的事物。)”以及最后一段中的“I simply followed my fascination, one find at a time, from my father’s Leicester workshop into the heart of nature’s grandest design.

Many people have the wrong idea that wildlife protection only means saving one rare animal. In fact, real ecosystem protection refers to protecting whole food chains and natural habitats. A healthy ecosystem means a balance among plants, animals, and tiny living things that break down waste. Losing even one small part can cause big problems. Volunteers in high areas do many practical field tasks. They walk into rivers to pick up floating rubbish, often filling many bags each time. They keep records of wild animal movements, writing down the types, numbers, and places. They also remove harmful plants that grow too fast and hurt local plants. Most of these volunteers are local people. They know the land well and understand seasonal changes, so they are good at outdoor work. Before they start, they receive training from environmental researchers. They learn how to recognize different animals and plants and how to use simple tools. Working on the plateau is physically hard. The air is thin above 4,000 meters, so even walking feels tiring. Strong sunlight can hurt skin quickly. Cold winds blow often, especially in winter. But their work does not try to make fast changes. Instead, they focus on long-term watching and slow improvement. Some projects may take years to show clear results. Local people combine their old knowledge with modern protection methods. For example, they use traditional ways of raising farm animals to avoid disturbing wildlife when they have babies. Experts say that community-led volunteer work is a useful addition to government protection programs. Government teams often work in large nature reserves, while local volunteers help in smaller, faraway places. When locals and researchers work together, they get better results for the plateau’s fragile environment. 28．(2.5分)How does the author explain “a healthy ecosystem” in Paragraph 1? A．By giving a typical example. B．By giving a clear definition. C．By telling a detailed story. D．By comparing diverse ideas. 29．(2.5分)What makes local people good at field work? A．They have modern tools. B．They work for the government. C．They receive a high pay. D．They know the land and seasons. 30．(2.5分)What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The training volunteers receive. B．The beauty of the plateau land. C．The challenges volunteers face. D．The fast results of their work. 31．(2.5分)What’s the best structure of the passage? A．Clarification → Actions → Difficulties → Significance B．Concept → Examples → Comparison → Prediction C．Background → Story → Analysis → Suggestion D．Problem → Practices → Examples → Solution 【答案】28．B 29．D 30．C 31．A 【导语】主要介绍青藏高原当地志愿者团队开展生态保护工作，包括理念、行动、困难与价值。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“A healthy ecosystem means a balance among plants, animals, and tiny living things that break down waste.(健康的生态系统指植物、动物以及分解废弃物的微小生物之间的平衡。)”可知，作者通过下定义的方式解释健康的生态系统。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Most of these volunteers are local people. They know the land well and understand seasonal changes, so they are good at outdoor work.(这些志愿者大多是当地人。他们熟悉这片土地，了解季节变化，因此擅长野外工作。)”可知，当地人熟悉土地与季节变化，所以擅长野外工作。 30．主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Working on the plateau is physically hard. The air is thin above 4,000 meters, so even walking feels tiring. Strong sunlight can hurt skin quickly. Cold winds blow often, especially in winter.(在高原工作体力消耗很大。海拔4000米以上空气稀薄，就连走路都觉得疲惫。强烈的阳光会很快灼伤皮肤，寒风常年肆虐，冬季尤甚。)”可知，本段主要讲述志愿者面临的各种挑战。 31．推理判断题。第一段：阐释生态保护理念（概念澄清 Clarification）；第二段：志愿者开展的各类保护行动（Actions）；第三段：高原工作面临的困难（Difficulties）；第四段：社区志愿工作的意义与价值（Significance）。文章结构：理念阐释 → 保护行动 → 面临困难 → 工作意义。 （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）Stargazing offers a breathtaking connection to the universe, yet many people miss out on this experience due to a few easily overlooked factors. Anyone can enjoy an unforgettable journey through the universe. 36(2.5分) Avoid light pollution. Light pollution results from the overused or poorly directed artificial light produced by cities, streetlights, buildings, and vehicles. It creates a glowing mist that hides faint stars and other objects in the sky. No stargazer wants such an obstacle to spoil the view. 37(2.5分) If you’re observing from home, consider using professional instruments that direct light downward.Consider the moon. The moon, our closest neighbor in space, goes through a monthly cycle of phases that greatly affect stargazing conditions. The best time to observe the stars is during the new moon, when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun and remains invisible, leaving the sky at its darkest. 38(2.5分) Height matters. To get a clear view of the sky, it’s important to choose a location free from surrounding buildings. 39(2.5分) If traveling to the countryside isn’t an option, try to get to a higher spot. The rooftop of a tall building, for instance, can help you rise above nearby structures and improve your view. Look for accessible buildings in your area that might offer this advantage. 40(2.5分) Timing plays a key role in what you’ll see in the night sky. Winter generally offers the clearest skies because cold air holds less moisture-just remember to dress warmly. Summer skies bring a different set of star groups and often present a stunning view of the Milky Way. Beginners may find dusk, just after sunset, a good time to start, while serious stargazers with better equipment often prefer the late-night hours. A．Pick the right time. B．Take account of the season. C．Rural areas are ideal for this. D．All you need is a little preparation and knowledge. E．Using a telescope can greatly enhance your viewing experience. F．It’s best to avoid nights with a full moon for better star visibility. G．If possible, visit a dark park that is specially meant for stargazing. 【答案】36．D 37．G 38．F 39．C 40．A 【导语】文章主要讲述了如何通过一些准备和知识来享受难忘的观星体验。 【详解】36．由上文“Stargazing offers a breathtaking connection to the universe, yet many people miss out on this experience due to a few easily overlooked factors.

There were 41 cries coming from the freezing waters in Morro Bay. The center’s experts were able to 42 that the calls — which sounded almost like a human baby screaming — were coming from a(n) 43 2-week-old sea otter (獭) pup (幼崽) that had been separated from its mother. That could be 44 for the young sea otter and it could die, according to Shayla Zink, who works at the center. “That pup is really 45 everything it learns from the mother to be able to survive in the ocean,” Zink said. The employees at the center jumped into action without 46 . First, they put the baby otter, whom they named “Caterpillar,” into a safe container where it wouldn’t overheat. Then, they recorded the 47 of the pup’s frightened cries. The plan was to 48 the mother towards the boat by broadcasting the pup’s cries through a Bluetooth speaker.

They agreed to let Buddy stay until they could find his owner. Days turned into weeks, and no one came forward to claim Buddy. Sarah grew attached to him, and he became a part of the family. But deep down, she knew she had to do the right thing because she could imagine how anxious and sorrowful Buddy’s owner would be after losing the beloved pet. One day, Sarah decided to take Buddy to the local animal shelter, hoping they could help find his owner. As she walked into the shelter, she noticed a poster on the wall, which was a missing dog notice, the picture looking just like Buddy. Her heart raced as she read the details.The dog’s name was Buddy, and he had been missing for over a month. The owner’s contact information was listed below. Sarah hesitated.
