It was a hot summer day a few years ago.I had just pulled into the local gas station to fill my tank.After pumping the gas I started to walk inside to pay.That is when I noticed them.Two elderly women were standing back from their car.There was a mixture of shock and fear on their faces.I looked and saw what they saw.Five wasps (黄蜂) had started to build a nest (巢)around their gas cap.My eyes widened.I shared the ladies' fear.
Wasps had never been friends of mine.Several times they had attacked me while I was working in my backyard giving me stings (叮咬) each time I ran over their ground nests.They are the reason I never work in shorts anymore.The worst time, however, happened when I was a young boy.A friend of mine and I were running and playing in my backyard.I must have stepped on one of their hidden nests again because before I knew it both of us were being chased and stung over and over by the wasps while we ran away screaming.I ran to my mom with tears in my eyes.She immediately ran a cold bath and put us both in it to lessen the pain before giving us medicine to fight all the poison in our little bodies from the stings.
Still, I knew I couldn't let fear stop me now.I reached into my back pocket for a paper towel I had there，tore out the nest and stepped on it while the angry wasps buzzed around me.Both of the ladies thanked me and I said，“You're welcome！” with a smile and a happy heart.

(2023 ·河北沧州市高一上期末)
Over the past four decades, more than 450 butterfly species have been hit by the falling numbers.In the US alone, the number of monarch butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶) has seen a drop of 80%, from scientists recording millions of them in the 1980s, and only 29,000 in 2020.It's part of a wider possibility across the insect group.In 2017, scientists in Germany raised alarm bells after finding that insects had fallen by more than 70% in 30 years.
For farmers, monarch butterflies pollinate (授粉) a very large percentage of food crops.It is very important to protect them because their disappearance could have a huge economic influence.Butterflies are also helpful in the coal mine for other insects, as it is easier for them to feel the environmental change，and relatively easy to record.
Leading environmental organizations have been working hard to find new ways of recording the number of butterflies.As of now, there is no long-term data to develop good protection methods.The scientists wanted to address the challenge that long term recording programs worldwide have faced: they are focusing on training locals as insect experts, which requires much money.They came up with a new method to the problem.In Yasuni National Park, they hired park rangers (护林员) who were trained and then carried out recording.The rangers were able to recognize butterflies with an 85% success rate, which is important for these kinds of recording programs to be successful.
Compared with other recording projects, this study represents a long-term solution.“Our method increases the chance of recording in the long term by reducing the money spent on it such as wages，” said lead author Maria Checa.“Furthermore, it also offers opportunities for public organizations to achieve their environmental goals.”
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是记录蝴蝶变化的一种新的科学方法，由此来保护蝴蝶，最终实现保护环境的目标。
28．How does the author develop the first paragraph？ B
A．By telling a story.
B．By listing numbers.
C．By showing possible results.
D．By discussing different reasons.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Over the past four decades, more than 450 butterfly species have been hit by the falling numbers.In the US alone, the number of monarch butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶) has seen a drop of 80%, from scientists recording millions of them in the 1980s, and only 29,000 in 2020.”可知，第一段中作者指出450多种蝴蝶在过去的四十年中数量减少了，之后列出了美国黑脉金斑蝶和德国科学家指出的昆虫下降的百分比。由此可知，作者在第一段中是通过列出数据的变化说明近年来蝴蝶数量下降的趋势。故选B。
29．How are butterflies different from other insects in feeling the environmental change？ A
A．They are quicker.
B．They are lazier.
C．They are slower.
D．They are more inactive.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“Butterflies are also helpful in the coal mine for other insects, as it is easier for them to feel the environmental change，and relatively easy to record.”可知，与其他昆虫相比，蝴蝶对环境变化感知更快。故选A。
30．What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？ B
A．Discover. B．Solve.
C．Invent. D．Balance.
解析： 词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的句子“As of now, there is no long-term data to develop good protection methods.”可知，此处提出了一个亟待解决的问题。同时根据画线词后的宾语“challenge”则为前文的“没有长期的数据来开发良好的保护方法”，故画线词在此处表示要“解决”该挑战。故与B选项为同义词，意为“解决”。故选B。
31．What's Maria Checa's attitude towards the new method？ C
A．Uncaring. B．Disapproving.
C．Positive. D．Doubtful.
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our method increases the chance of recording in the long term by reducing the money spent on it such as wages”可知，Maria Checa所说的话是这个记录项目的两个优点，故可推断，Maria Checa对这个新方法是持肯定态度的。故选C。
D
Many of the Earth's creatures die because of humans' choices. These choices have nothing to do with food or shelter or anything else that helps humans survive. What kills millions of animals all over the world is that humans want to make money by doing so.
People use parts of animals for everything from hats to handbags, from jewelry to ashtrays and to make powder that supposedly improves a person's life. Deciding that a species is endangered and protecting it by law are not always enough. People who kill wildlife illegally rarely get caught.
During the late 1980s, saving elephants became a popular cause. Wildlife protection groups made sure everyone saw pictures or films of elephants with their faces cut off for their ivory. These groups also proved that certain populations of elephants were decreasing. As a result, most people stopped buying objects made of ivory. Laws against poaching(偷猎) were made stronger. Many countries made importing ivory illegal. Killing elephants for their ivory became riskier and less profitable.
However, concern for certain species will become weak after a while. In the late 1970s, people protested(抗议) against the killing of seal babies. Everyone was shocked to see young seals being killed in their icy habitats. The cruel activity stopped. But ten years later, the number of seal babies killed was higher than ever.
Other animal protection movements have come and gone，such as saving the whales and protecting dolphins. The whale population appears to have increased for now. And the laws are finally changed in America to protect the dolphins that swim with tuna fish in parts of the Pacific Ocean.
In the years to come，people's attention will probably turn to some other endangered species. Plenty of them urgently need attention. During this time, will the elephants be forgotten？
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。人类猎杀动物来获利，当野生动物保护组织让人们了解到野生动物被非法捕杀，数量不断减少时，人们才行动起来抵制用野生动物制作的产品，法律也更加严厉地制裁偷猎者。但是人们对动物保护的关注和相关运动一直在改变，作者希望对动物保护的关注和相关运动一直保持下去。
32．What leads to the disappearance of millions of wild animals？ B
A．The growing human population.
B．Humans' desire for making a fortune.
C．Humans' need for wild food.
D．Lack of laws on wildlife protection.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“What kills millions of animals all over the world is that humans want to make money by doing so.”可知，人类想要发财导致了数百万野生动物的消失，文中“kills millions of animals”和问句中的“the disappearance of millions of wild animals”相呼应；文中“humans want to make money”和B选项“Humans' desire for making a fortune”相呼应。故选B。
33．What happened in the late 1980s？ A
A．Wildlife protection groups did make great efforts.
B．Importing ivory in all countries was illegal.
C．Those who killed elephants all got caught.
D．Hunting was completely not allowed.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Wildlife protection groups made sure everyone saw pictures or films of elephants with their faces cut off for their ivory... As a result, most people...riskier and less profitable.”可知，在20世纪80年代末，野生动物保护组织确实做出了巨大努力。故选A。
34．Why are seal babies mentioned in Paragraph 4？ C
A．To show the effort to protect seal babies.
B．To show an increasing number of seal babies.
C．To show the decrease of worries about certain species.
D．To show people's protest against the killing of seal babies.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“However, concern for certain species will become weak after a while.”可知，第四段提到海豹宝宝的目的是表明一段时间后人们对某些物种的担忧会减少。文中的“concern for certain species”与C选项中“worries about certain species”相呼应；文中的“become weak”和C选项中“the decrease”相呼应。故选C。
35．What does the author mean by using the underlined sentence？ D
A．Humans should choose some rare animals to protect.
B．Attention must be paid to saving some endangered wildlife.
C．Success has been achieved in quite a few cases of wildlife protection.
D．Concern and movements for animal protection should be always kept.
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Other animal protection movements have come and gone”和最后一段第一句“In the years to come, people's attention will probably turn to some other endangered species.”可知，对动物保护的关注和相关运动一直在改变， 那么在人们关注其他濒危物种时，大象会被遗忘吗？可以推断，作者说这句话的意思是，对动物保护的关注和相关运动应该一直保持下去。故选D。

(2023 ·福建三明市高一上期末)
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. 36.E
But humans—and their ships, speedboats, energy exploration platforms and even surfing—have made the ocean an unbearably noisy place. 37.D In the case of baby clownfish, they make them unable to find their way home.
38.A 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.
Many sea animals swim away from the noises. 39.F 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. 40.B 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？”
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.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了人类的活动产生了大量的噪音，导致海洋生物陷入危险，而问题的许多解决方案已经存在，我们应该执行它们。
解析：
36. 根据前文“When the baby clownfish grow big enough to swim, they hurry home.They can't see the reef, however.”可知，此处在说小丑鱼长大后会回到珊瑚礁，但是它们不能看到珊瑚礁，所以空处应说明，它们是如何找到珊瑚礁，E项“Instead, they depend on the small noises that a reef lets out.”符合文意，上下文是替代关系。故选E项。
37. 根据前文“But humans—and their ships, speedboats, energy exploration platforms and even surfing—have made the ocean an unbearably noisy place.”和下文“In the case of baby clownfish, they make them unable to find their way home.”可知，本段在讲述人类活动产生的噪音影响让海洋变成了嘈杂之地，小丑鱼都不能听到珊瑚礁发出的微小声音，找到回家的路，所以D项“These noises are often louder than the natural ones.”符合文意。承上启下。故选D项。
38. 根据后文“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.”可知，本段主要讲述了还有其他海洋生物遭受噪音的影响，所以A项“Clownfish are not the only ones to suffer.”符合文意，承接上文“In the case of baby clownfish, they make them unable to find their way home.”。故选A项。
39. 根据前文“Many sea animals swim away from the noises.”以及后文“But slow-moving animals like sea cucumbers(海参) are left helpless.”可知，此处是在讲述，许多海洋动物会躲避噪音，并举例，所以F项“Whales, for example, can learn to avoid busy shipping routes.”符合文意，与下文海参因为行动缓慢无法躲避噪音是转折关系，But是关键词。故选F项。
40. 根据前文“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.”以及后文“Wind-powered boats have been developed.Shipping routes can also be moved away from certain areas.”可知，本段是在讲防治噪音污染的方法，且这些方法已经存在，所以B项“Many solutions to this problem already exist.”符合文意。故选B项。

(2023 ·河北承德市高一上期末)
It was thirty years ago, and I was twenty years old as a new teacher in an elementary school in Toronto, Canada.My class was made up of thirty-eight kids, one of them named Mike.Mike was a street kid.He never knew his parents and lived with an uncaring grandmother.His clothing was in need of repair.He was ten years old and looked in bad health.Like most new, young teachers, I was full of enthusiasm and wanted to make a difference.I decided to reach out to help the kid in need.
So it was that early in September that my special “foster father(养父)” relationship with Mike began with the permission of his grandmother.I became the only parent figure he ever had.Each day, I'd take him for meals.I showed him how to repair clothes.I taught him a lot of new skills like using a computer, taking photos and knowing about nature.Mike would then help me teach the rest of the class these skills.We all had a lot of fun, and a kind of un-spoken trust began to build up between us.Surprisingly, he appeared eager to join in this new father-son relationship.
Early in our special relationship, Mike told me his dream.Most of the kids in the class wanted to be doctors, musicians, teachers or some such things, but not Mike.“I want to be a gangster(土匪), Mr.Kowalchuk！” he said.This was no joke—this was his wish, and he was most serious about it.
I believe all children have a gift.Everyone has the same chance to be the best person they can be.I realized this boy was smart, and that with a little love, attention, understanding, guidance and encouragement, he could probably achieve whatever he put his mind to.I explained to him that a good gangster had to read a large number of books on law in the law library and know criminal law(刑法) well like an excellent lawyer(律师)．His young mind was eager and interested.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1：
If he wanted to be a “gangster”，I would do something to help him.
Paragraph 2：
Years later, I got married and started a new life in another city.
参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
If he wanted to be a “gangster”，I would do something to help him.One Saturday morning, I took him to the law library in our town.When he walked in, he was amazed by the huge collection in the library and was soon lost in it.That was how we spent each Saturday morning in the following years.He became interested in learning laws.As he grew up to a senior high school student, he told me that his dream was not to be a gangster, but a famous lawyer.I was glad that he had his real dream for his life.
Paragraph 2：
Years later, I got married and started a new life in another city.Sadly, I lost touch with Mike, but I often thought of him, wondering what his life was like in all these years.Then, one day I received a call, “Mr.Kowalchuk, I'm Mike.I really miss you.” Shocked, my eyes filled up with tears.I learned about his great change, from a street kid, who dreamed of becoming a gangster, to a famous lawyer in Canada.“I really appreciate your love，” Mike said.I was really very proud of him! As a teacher, I really made a difference to him.UNIT 2 学业质量检测

It was a hot summer day a few years ago.I had just pulled into the local gas station to fill my tank.After pumping the gas I started to walk inside to pay.That is when I noticed them.Two elderly women were standing back from their car.There was a mixture of shock and fear on their faces.I looked and saw what they saw.Five wasps (黄蜂) had started to build a nest (巢)around their gas cap.My eyes widened.I shared the ladies' fear.
Wasps had never been friends of mine.Several times they had attacked me while I was working in my backyard giving me stings (叮咬) each time I ran over their ground nests.They are the reason I never work in shorts anymore.The worst time, however, happened when I was a young boy.A friend of mine and I were running and playing in my backyard.I must have stepped on one of their hidden nests again because before I knew it both of us were being chased and stung over and over by the wasps while we ran away screaming.I ran to my mom with tears in my eyes.She immediately ran a cold bath and put us both in it to lessen the pain before giving us medicine to fight all the poison in our little bodies from the stings.
Still, I knew I couldn't let fear stop me now.I reached into my back pocket for a paper towel I had there，tore out the nest and stepped on it while the angry wasps buzzed around me.Both of the ladies thanked me and I said，“You're welcome！” with a smile and a happy heart.

Over the past four decades, more than 450 butterfly species have been hit by the falling numbers.In the US alone, the number of monarch butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶) has seen a drop of 80%, from scientists recording millions of them in the 1980s, and only 29,000 in 2020.It's part of a wider possibility across the insect group.In 2017, scientists in Germany raised alarm bells after finding that insects had fallen by more than 70% in 30 years.
For farmers, monarch butterflies pollinate (授粉) a very large percentage of food crops.It is very important to protect them because their disappearance could have a huge economic influence.Butterflies are also helpful in the coal mine for other insects, as it is easier for them to feel the environmental change，and relatively easy to record.
Leading environmental organizations have been working hard to find new ways of recording the number of butterflies.As of now, there is no long-term data to develop good protection methods.The scientists wanted to address the challenge that long term recording programs worldwide have faced: they are focusing on training locals as insect experts, which requires much money.They came up with a new method to the problem.In Yasuni National Park, they hired park rangers (护林员) who were trained and then carried out recording.The rangers were able to recognize butterflies with an 85% success rate, which is important for these kinds of recording programs to be successful.
Compared with other recording projects, this study represents a long-term solution.“Our method increases the chance of recording in the long term by reducing the money spent on it such as wages，” said lead author Maria Checa.“Furthermore, it also offers opportunities for public organizations to achieve their environmental goals.”

28．How does the author develop the first paragraph？
A．By telling a story.
B．By listing numbers.
C．By showing possible results.
D．By discussing different reasons.
29．How are butterflies different from other insects in feeling the environmental change？
A．They are quicker.
B．They are lazier.
C．They are slower.
D．They are more inactive.
30．What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？ .
A．Discover. B．Solve.
C．Invent. D．Balance.
31．What's Maria Checa's attitude towards the new method？
A．Uncaring. B．Disapproving.
C．Positive. D．Doubtful.
D
Many of the Earth's creatures die because of humans' choices. These choices have nothing to do with food or shelter or anything else that helps humans survive. What kills millions of animals all over the world is that humans want to make money by doing so.
People use parts of animals for everything from hats to handbags, from jewelry to ashtrays and to make powder that supposedly improves a person's life. Deciding that a species is endangered and protecting it by law are not always enough. People who kill wildlife illegally rarely get caught.
During the late 1980s, saving elephants became a popular cause. Wildlife protection groups made sure everyone saw pictures or films of elephants with their faces cut off for their ivory. These groups also proved that certain populations of elephants were decreasing. As a result, most people stopped buying objects made of ivory. Laws against poaching(偷猎) were made stronger. Many countries made importing ivory illegal. Killing elephants for their ivory became riskier and less profitable.
However, concern for certain species will become weak after a while. In the late 1970s, people protested(抗议) against the killing of seal babies. Everyone was shocked to see young seals being killed in their icy habitats. The cruel activity stopped. But ten years later, the number of seal babies killed was higher than ever.
Other animal protection movements have come and gone，such as saving the whales and protecting dolphins. The whale population appears to have increased for now. And the laws are finally changed in America to protect the dolphins that swim with tuna fish in parts of the Pacific Ocean.
In the years to come，people's attention will probably turn to some other endangered species. Plenty of them urgently need attention. During this time, will the elephants be forgotten？
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。人类猎杀动物来获利，当野生动物保护组织让人们了解到野生动物被非法捕杀，数量不断减少时，人们才行动起来抵制用野生动物制作的产品，法律也更加严厉地制裁偷猎者。但是人们对动物保护的关注和相关运动一直在改变，作者希望对动物保护的关注和相关运动一直保持下去。
32．What leads to the disappearance of millions of wild animals？

B．To show an increasing number of seal babies.
C．To show the decrease of worries about certain species.
D．To show people's protest against the killing of seal babies.

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. 36.
But humans—and their ships, speedboats, energy exploration platforms and even surfing—have made the ocean an unbearably noisy place. 37. In the case of baby clownfish, they make them unable to find their way home.
38. 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.
Many sea animals swim away from the noises. 39. 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. 40. 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？”
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.

(2023 ·河北承德市高一上期末)
It was thirty years ago, and I was twenty years old as a new teacher in an elementary school in Toronto, Canada.My class was made up of thirty-eight kids, one of them named Mike.Mike was a street kid.He never knew his parents and lived with an uncaring grandmother.His clothing was in need of repair.He was ten years old and looked in bad health.Like most new, young teachers, I was full of enthusiasm and wanted to make a difference.I decided to reach out to help the kid in need.
So it was that early in September that my special “foster father(养父)” relationship with Mike began with the permission of his grandmother.I became the only parent figure he ever had.Each day, I'd take him for meals.I showed him how to repair clothes.I taught him a lot of new skills like using a computer, taking photos and knowing about nature.Mike would then help me teach the rest of the class these skills.We all had a lot of fun, and a kind of un-spoken trust began to build up between us.Surprisingly, he appeared eager to join in this new father-son relationship.
Early in our special relationship, Mike told me his dream.Most of the kids in the class wanted to be doctors, musicians, teachers or some such things, but not Mike.“I want to be a gangster(土匪), Mr.Kowalchuk！” he said.This was no joke—this was his wish, and he was most serious about it.
I believe all children have a gift.Everyone has the same chance to be the best person they can be.I realized this boy was smart, and that with a little love, attention, understanding, guidance and encouragement, he could probably achieve whatever he put his mind to.I explained to him that a good gangster had to read a large number of books on law in the law library and know criminal law(刑法) well like an excellent lawyer(律师)．His young mind was eager and interested.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1：
If he wanted to be a “gangster”，I would do something to help him.
Paragraph 2：
Years later, I got married and started a new life in another city.
