2.____
led

2.____

Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练
[湖南岳阳2023高一期末] A
Because of the “Yunnan Elephant”, many people have developed a strong interest in elephants, and it has also aroused a heated discussion about how man and nature should share the earth and live in harmony. In this issue of “Weekend Cinema”, Yingda has brought four documentaries related to this.
The Secret Life of Elephants
The Secret Life of Elephants is a BBC nature documentary series following the lives of elephants and the work of the conservation charity Save the Elephants in Samburu National Reserve, Kenya. It was first released in the United Kingdom on BBC One in January 2009 to 4.2 million viewers. The team follow the dramatic and emotional stories of 500 plus individually known elephants.
Penguin Town
The series is filmed in Simon’s Town, South Africa, where these adorable African penguins wander close up to people, strolling down the sidewalk, and passing sunbathers on the beach. The series follows various penguin couples. With great humour, their love stories are told, and you follow the adventures of these penguin couples starting families and having chicks.
Seven Worlds, One Planet
Millions of years ago incredible forces tore apart the Earth’s crust(地壳)creating seven extraordinary continents, each with its own distinct climate, its own distinct terrain(地形)and its own unique animal life. Seven Worlds, One Planet explores the natural wonders that give each of our continents its distinct character. Following the animals that have made these environments their home, it discovers amazing wildlife stories that uncover what makes each of these seven worlds unique.
Bears on Top of the World
This moving film reveals the differing fortunes of a mother polar bear, a mother grizzly bear (灰熊) and their newborn babies, in a rapidly changing world. This is a remarkable story of how bears, ever intelligent, are adapting to a warming world.

[河北省级联测2023高一期中] B
As seabird biologist Bonnie Slaton slides off a small boat and walks through waist-high water, the brown pelicans(鹈鹕)spread their wings overhead until she reaches Raccoon Island. The narrow island is a small piece of land separating the American state of Louisiana from the Gulf of Mexico. During the seabird breeding(繁殖)season, the place, one of the few remaining places of safety for the pelicans, is full of noise.
Twelve years ago, there were 15 low-lying islands with breeding areas for Louisiana’s state bird. However, today, only about six islands in southeastern Louisiana have brown pelican nests and the rest have disappeared underwater. Slaton and other scientists set up cameras to observe pelican nests on the island. The cameras show that in recent years the pelicans have faced some natural disasters. The main killer of them is flooding, which can wash away all the nests, as happened in April 2021.
The disappearing islands are the location of a story of successful conservation. For many years, scientists have worked to bring the pelicans back from totally dying off. Mike Carloss is a state wildlife biologist in Louisiana. He said he never saw brown pelicans as a child in the 1960s. Their populations had been killed by the use of DDT, a kind of farm chemical. It thinned eggshells and prevented pelicans from giving birth to young birds. The beloved birds were completely gone from Louisiana, only appearing on the state flag. But a long-running effort to save them led to the birds' return. After DDT was stopped in the US in 1972, biologists brought young pelicans from nearby Florida to let them inhabit empty islands across the Gulf of Mexico again. More than 1,200 pelicans have been set free in southeastern Louisiana over 13 years.
The brown pelicans can live more than 20 years. So, the final effect of disappearing breeding areas is uncertain and it will still take time to become clear. And the future for pelicans is uncertain on the islands.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们多年来一直在努力让鹈鹕免于灭绝。
1.What is a killer of brown pelicans ( )
D
A.The island movement. B.The underwater noise.
C.The increase of human population. D.The disappearance of breeding areas.
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的The main killer of them is flooding, which can wash away all the nests可知,褐鹈鹕面临的主要威胁是洪水等自然灾害,洪水会冲走它们的巢穴,淹没近海平面的岛屿,因为栖息地的消失,褐鹈鹕的生存面临威胁。故选D项。
2.Why did the scientists set up cameras ( )
B
A.To stop illegal hunting. B.To watch pelicans’ home.
C.To predict serious flooding. D.To record the number of pelicans.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Slaton and other scientists set up cameras to observe pelican nests on the island.可知,他们的目的是观察岛上的鹈鹕巢穴。故选B项。
3.What does the underlined word “inhabit” in Paragraph 3 mean ( )
A
A.Live on. B.Focus on. C.Break into. D.Look into.
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文可知,生物学家们经过不懈努力将幼鸟带回了岛上。根据本段中的the birds’ return, brought, empty islands并结合上下文内容可推测,此处指生物学家将幼鸟带回岛上后,让这些幼鸟在岛上栖居。故选A项。
4.How does the author feel about the pelicans’ future ( )
B
A.Unconcerned. B.Doubtful. C.Curious. D.Proud.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的So, the final effect of disappearing breeding areas is uncertain and it will still take time to become clear. And the future for pelicans is uncertain on the islands.可知,栖息地的消失带来的最终影响是不确定的,还需要长期的观察,而这些被重新带回岛上的褐鹈鹕在未来的状况也是未知的,由此可推知,作者认为情况是不确定的,故作者对鹈鹕的未来持怀疑态度。故选B项。

[福建三明2023高一期末]Clownfish like to live in coral reefs, but they don’t spend their whole lives there. In the first few months after they are born, they “wander” in the open sea. When the baby clownfish grow big enough to swim, they hurry home. They can’t see the reef, however. 1. .
But humans—and their ships, speedboats, energy exploration platforms and even surfing—have made the ocean an unbearably noisy place. 2. . In the case of baby clownfish, they make them unable to find their way home.
3. . There are still many other sea animals depending on their ability to hear for their survival. They use sounds to sense their environment and to communicate. Dolphins call one another by unique names. Toadfish hum. Whales sing.
E
D
A
Many sea animals swim away from the noises. 4. . But slow-moving animals like sea cucumbers (海参) are left helpless. In some places, human-made noises are everywhere. Animals have to permanently move away from these noises to quieter places. They are then forced to compete against others for the same pools of resources. Over time, their populations start to become smaller.
Luckily, the noise is a controllable pollutant. “We know exactly what causes the noise, we know where it is and we know how to stop it,” said Steve Simpson, a biologist in England. 5. . Wind-powered boats have been developed. Shipping routes can also be moved away from certain areas. Researchers are calling for stricter rules. “We have noise standards for cars and trucks,” said Carlos Duarte, another biologist. “Why should we not have them for ships ”
F
B
A.Clownfish are not the only ones to suffer.
B.Many solutions to this problem already exist.
C.Some animals could swim fast to catch food.
D.These noises are often louder than the natural ones.
E.Instead, they depend on the small noises that a reef lets out.
F.Whales, for example, can learn to avoid busy shipping routes.
G.Actually, the ocean has always been home to many clownfish.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了人类活动产生了大量的噪声,导致海洋生物陷入危险,研究人员呼吁人们应防治海洋噪声污染。
1.___
E
解析 前文提到小丑鱼幼鱼看不到珊瑚礁的位置,下文指出人类的船只和能源勘探平台等让海洋变得十分嘈杂,使得小丑鱼幼鱼无法找到回家的路。由此可推测,设空处应说明它们是如何找到珊瑚礁的,结合空前的however和语境可知,此处表示小丑鱼幼鱼不是凭借视力辨别方位,而是根据声音。E项(相反,它们依赖于珊瑚礁发出的微小声音)符合语境。故选E项。
2.___
D
解析 设空处上文指出,人类活动产生的噪声让海洋变成了嘈杂之地,下文提到小丑鱼幼鱼听不到珊瑚礁发出的微小声音,因而找不到回家的路。D项(这些声音通常比自然声音更大)承上启下,符合语境。故选D项。
3.___
A
解析 下文讲到还有许多其他海洋动物依靠它们的听觉生存,这些动物用声音来感知环境并进行交流,由此可知,本段主要论述了还有其他海洋生物遭受噪声的影响,所以A项(小丑鱼并不是唯一的受害者)符合语境,承接上文提到的小丑鱼的案例。故选A项。
4.___
F
解析 根据本段首句可知,本段主要论述许多海洋生物会远离海洋噪声,空后则是以海参为例,论述了移动缓慢的生物无法避开噪声。结合空后的But可知,设空处应该是列举了与海参情况相反的动物的例子。结合选项可知,F项(例如,鲸鱼可以学会避开繁忙的航线)符合语境,与下文形成转折关系,But是关键词。故选F项。
5.___
B
解析 前文提到噪声是一种可控的污染物,人类能够找到噪声的源头并且知道消除噪声污染的方法;后文提到人们已经开发出了风力船,并且一些航线也可以进行转移。由此可知,本段是在讲防治噪声污染的方法,且这些方法已经存在,所以B项(这个问题的许多解决方案已经存在)符合语境。故选B项。

Period Ⅱ Using language—Presenting ideas
Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练
[浙江绍兴2023高一期末] A
The Shandong Province native, Ge Yuxiu, has lived in Qinghai for more than 51 years. For almost half that time, he has been on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau(高原), where he has devoted his life to photographing and conserving wild animals. Despite serious heart trouble, Ge is determined to stay on the high-altitude plateau and continue to do something to help protect wildlife in the area.
Ge’s love for photography grew after his photo of soldiers reading news written on a blackboard was published in Qinghai Daily in 1979. He probably would have never turned to photographing wild animals without a visit to Bird Island in Qinghai Lake in 1995 after he had retired from the army and had begun working in the financial sector.
Covering less than half a square kilometre, the island is home to over 100,000 migratory birds(候鸟). “I became addicted to the bird kingdom,” Ge said, adding that he has so far visited the island more than 200 times to take photos.
He never expected that the attraction of the island would tie his destiny with Przewalski’s gazelle(普氏原羚), a relatively small, slender antelope unique to China. Ge went to the island in late 1997 to take photos of swans(天鹅)when he saw seven yellowish-brown animals running across the grasslands, in a line. On hearing one of his companions shouting “Przewalski’s gazelle”, he took out his camera and took photos of them. He was later told by wildlife conservation experts that he had captured(拍摄)the world’s first image of this kind of antelope.
“I was so excited to hear that,” he said. His excitement, however, soon gave way to anxiety after he learnt that the animals were endangered. Only found around Qinghai Lake, there were just 300 of them surviving in the wild at the time. The incident became a turning point in Ge’s photography career, as he decided to devote his efforts to saving the gazelle and other endangered animals. He often spent time in the wild observing the gazelle and occasionally visited local herdsmen(牧人)to learn what they knew about the animal. Thanks to joint efforts, the population of Przewalski’s gazelle has now increased to about 2,700.

[云南师大附中2023高一期末] B
The earth’s wildlife populations have decreased by an average of 69% between 1970 and 2018, according to WWF’s Living Planet Report 2022, as humans continue to cut down forests, consume resources beyond the limits of the planet, and pollute the environment on an industrial scale. Two years ago, the figure stood at 68%, and four years ago, it was at 60%.
Many scientists believe we are living through the sixth mass extinction—the largest loss of life on Earth since the time of the dinosaurs—and that it is being driven by humans. The report’s 89 authors urged world leaders to reach an ambitious agreement at the Cop 15 biodiversity summit in Canada and to cut carbon emissions to limit global heating to below 1.5 ℃ this decade to stop the serious destruction of nature.
Latin America and the Caribbean region has seen the steepest decline in average wildlife population size, with a 94% drop in 48 years. Africa had the second largest fall at 66%, followed by Asia and the Pacific with 55% and North America at 20%.Europe and Central Asia experienced an 18% fall. The total loss is akin to the human population of Europe, the Americas, Africa, Oceania and China disappearing, according to the report.
Land use change is still the leading driver of biodiversity loss across the planet. Robin Freeman, head of one unit at Zoological Society of London, said it was clear humanity is eroding the very foundations of life, and urgent action is needed. He mentioned, “It’s not just about conservation, it’s about changing production and consumption—and the only way we are going to be able to make laws or call for that is to have these clear measurable targets that ask for recovery of abundance, reduction of extinction risk and the ending of extinctions at Cop 15 in December.”
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地球上的野生动物数量急剧下降,人类应采取措施保护野生动物。

3.What can we learn from Robin Freeman’s words in Paragraph 4 ( )
C
A.Stable land use can prevent the loss of wildlife populations.
B.Cop 15 should take the responsibility for biodiversity reduction.
C.Changing ways of production and consumption matters in protection.

[湖南邵阳2023高一期中]Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about it. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from the Netherlands did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake.
Tea remained scarce(稀少的)and very expensive in England until it was directly brought to Britain from China early in the 17th century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.
建议用时:54分钟
Tea had been drunk without milk in it at first, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sévigné decided to see what tea would taste like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never drink her tea without milk again. She was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.
At first tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, teatime was born.

[江苏南京六校联合体2023高一期中联考]Ask most people which day of the week they fear the most and the answer is likely to be Monday. The first day of the working week can make us depressed. 1. .
The most depressing day of the year is the third Monday in January, when it’s cold and dark outside. This day was named “Blue Monday” by psychologist Cliff Arnall. Even if there was little science behind Blue Monday, it’s probably true that the sound of our alarm clock on any Monday morning means the coming of a new working week and possibly the end of our weekend of fun. 2. . It’s what psychologists call an emotional shift, and no other part of the week has a transition (过渡) like it.
Apparently, Monday means the end of weekend lie-ins. 3. . According to a website, “If you can’t stand your job, then the Monday blues can be very real.” And it can be especially difficult to start another seemingly endless workweek. Your case of the Mondays can have a negative impact on your performance, productivity and the people around you.

【语篇导读】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要围绕 “星期一忧郁症” 这一话题展开介绍。
1.___
D
解析 根据设空处前一句可知,工作周的第一天会让人感到沮丧;D项(那就是为什么这种感觉被称为“星期一忧郁症”)与上文存在因果关系,符合语境。
2.___
F
解析 设空处后一句提及情绪转变,因此设空处应是介绍星期一和前一天的情绪。F项(我们在星期一的心情可能建立在与前一天的直接比较之上)符合语境。
3.___
G
解析 设空处前一句描述了星期一意味着什么,G项(回到日常生活中,意识到还有五天的工作要做)与上文意义一致,是对星期一的进一步描述,符合语境。
4.___
A
解析 上文介绍了星期一人们情绪低落,设空处后一句指出情绪低落不等同于严重的抑郁。A项设置问题,发问“星期一真的像我们想象的那么糟糕吗?”,使得上下文合理转折,符合语境。
【方法总结】关注设空位置,找到合理线索
解答7选5时,首先要关注设空位置,不同的设空位置提供了不同的阅读线索。常见的设空位置有:(1)段首句。段首句位于每段的第一句,通常会起到统领全段的作用,很有可能是本段的主旨句,本段的内容通常是对段首句的具体解释或描述,因此要关注段首句和本段内容的对应性,同时还要考虑到其有可能承接上一段的内容,因此还要考虑其是否与上一段存在语境的联系。
(2)段中句。段中句一般仅连接其前后句子的内容,因此只需要关注其前后句子的语境即可。(3)段尾句。段尾句位于段落的结尾,一来可能是总结本段内容,二来还可能会引出下一段内容,可能顺承下一段,也可能与下一段形成对比或转折关系,因其承上启下的功能,切不可仅关注设空句所在的段落。
5.___
E
解析 上文提到,我们在星期一这天会感到情绪低落,但这不等同于严重的抑郁,有人认为星期一的这种低落的感觉可能并不真实;空后表明一项研究发现,人们情绪最低落的日子其实是星期三,所以当星期一到来的时候,我们应该再给它一次机会。E项(也许有一种根深蒂固的观念,即我们不喜欢星期一)承上启下,符合语境。故选E项。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了汉服越来越流行,汉服爱好者越来越多的文化现象。
1.____
Its
解析 句意为:它的传统汉服长期以来一直被公众忽视,如今正再度受到欢迎。分析句意可知,此处需要用形容词性物主代词修饰后面的名词短语traditional hanfu,设空处位于句首,单词首字母大写。故填Its。
2._______
events
解析 句意为:作为中国最大的汉服主题活动之一,汉服文化周每年在浙江省西塘古镇举行。此处为“one of+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”结构,故设空处应填名词复数。故填events。
3._______
is held
解析 句意见上一题解析。分析句意可知,动词hold与主语the HanFu Cultural Festival之间构成被动关系,设空处需要使用被动语态;根据时间状语annually可知应使用一般现在时。故填is held。
4._______
whom
解析 句意为:据主办方统计,去年共有数万名游客参加了汉服文化周,其中许多人是汉服爱好者。分析句子结构可知,此处为“many of +关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词visitors指人,且设空处在介词of之后,需要使用关系代词whom。故填whom。
5._________
originally
解析 句意为:现在,喜欢传统汉服的人们互称“同袍”,“同袍”一词最初来源于中国古代诗歌总集《诗经》。分析句子结构可知,设空处在句中作状语,应用副词,修饰介词短语。故填originally。
6.__________
Forbidden
解析 句意为:中国最后一个封建王朝清朝禁止人们身着汉服,几十年来,汉服很少为公众所知。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语,设空处应用非谓语动词;此处在句中作状语,forbid和其逻辑主语hanfu之间为被动关系,应用过去分词形式。故填Forbidden。
7.___
to
解析 句意见上一题解析。固定短语be known to sb意为“为某人所知”。故填to。
8._________
education
解析 句意为:如今,政府和民众非常重视中国传统文化的宣传和教育。设空处与名词promotion并列作介词to的宾语,故此处也应用名词。故填education。
9._________
has risen
解析 句意为:自从2003年一位名叫王乐天的工人制作了一套汉服并在公众场合穿着这套汉服之后,过去20年里,同袍的数量不断增加。根据时间状语over the past 20 years可知,此处需要使用现在完成时;主句主语为Tong pao,为一个群体,属于单数概念,主句谓语应用第三人称单数形式。故填has risen。
10.___

[浙江2023年1月] 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was invited to a cookout on an old friend’s farm in western Washington. I parked my car outside the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used in many years. A noise at a window caught my attention, so I entered it. It was a hummingbird (蜂鸟), desperately trying to escape. She was covered in spider-webs (蛛网) and was barely able to move her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.
With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in. The broken window glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside, closing the door securely behind me.
When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes. I removed the sticky spider-webs that covered her head and wings. Still, she made no attempt to fly. Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired Or too thirsty
As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move. I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away.
Hovering (悬停), she approached within six inches of my face. For a very long moment, this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side. Then she flew quickly out of sight.
During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident. They promised to fix the window. As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering. She turned from person to person until she came to me. She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeaking call and was gone. For a moment, all were speechless. Then someone said, “She must have come to say goodbye.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
A few weeks later, I went to the farm again.

【参考范文】
A few weeks later, I went to the farm again. As my car neared it my thoughts drifted back to the moment when I rescued the hummingbird from the spider-webs. I rushed back to the deserted house. It was a great comfort that the original hole in the window was nowhere to be found.Leaving the house, I couldn’t help wondering how she was getting on now. Had she managed to find her way back home, or was she still out there somewhere struggling to survive
I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared. A flash of movement caught my attention. I turned around to see the same hummingbird hovering in the air. It seemed that the bird was waiting for me. Its beady eyes locked on mine as if trying to convey some deep, unspoken gratitude. I felt a surge of relief and awe at the sight of this sound and grateful creature, and I knew that I would always cherish the memories we shared as I got into my car and drove away.
