Ⅰ.阅读理解

One year after WildAid started its new program to protect ocean wildlife in China, Chinese world－famous pianist Lang Lang has joined the latest public campaign (运动), “Play Your Part in the Oceans Symphony” on Friday.
The campaign video public service announcement (PSA) impressed the public with Lang Lang playing his song “Stay”， greatly calling attention to the beauty and importance of protecting the marine life in China’s waters such as whale sharks, sea turtles, dolphins and spotted seals.
A new series of messages calls on the public to help protect marine biodiversity (生物多样性) by supporting marine protected areas (MPAs) and the protection of ocean wildlife.The campaign video PSA and billboards, which will be displayed across China, were released (发布) at a Beijing press event hosted by WildAid, with China Green Carbon Foundation and the First Institute of Oceanography (FIO) of the Ministry of Natural Resources as key partners.
Ranked among “the world’s 100 most influential people” by Time magazine, Lang Lang has served as WildAid ambassador for more than 12 years and contributed to protecting endangered wildlife and nature.Speaking at the event he said, “we can all play our part in protecting our oceans by taking simple steps, such as refusing to eat endangered wildlife such as sea turtles, reporting illegal wildlife trade, and reducing the use of single－use plastics.”
WildAid also designed online activities for this campaign in which Lang Lang invites users to re－create his song “Stay” through the two most popular social platforms in China: Weibo and Tik Tok.
Lang Lang joined this campaign following a survey report conducted by WildAid and FIO that discusses public awareness of MPAs and marine biodiversity in China.
The report finds that more than 80% of the survey takers believe that MPAs are very important, but their understanding of the functions of MPAs is low.More than half do not know the term “marine biodiversity” and have not received enough information about marine protection.
“Play Your Part in the Oceans Symphony” campaign PSA and billboards will be given out at outdoor places across China, reaching millions of viewers.
【语篇解读】 本文是新闻报道。文章主要报道中国著名钢琴家郎朗于周五加入了最新的公众活动“在海洋交响曲中发挥你的作用”。
1.What is the purpose of the latest PSA of WildAid

B.To stress the importance of protecting China’s ocean wildlife.
C.To call on the public to support marine protected areas (MPAs).
D.To invite world－famous pianist Lang Lang to join the campaign.
解析 细节理解题。由文章第二段“The campaign video public service announcement (PSA) impressed the public...such as whale sharks, sea turtles, dolphins and spotted seals.”可知，最新PSA的目的是强调保护中国海洋野生动物的重要性。
√
2.What does Lang Lang ask people to do to protect the ocean life
A.Report illegal wildlife hunting to FIO.
B.Stop eating endangered wildlife.
C.Recreate his song “Stay” on line.
D.Call on friends to join the campaign.
解析 细节理解题。由文章第四段“we can all play our part in protecting our oceans...and reducing the use of single－use plastics.”可知，郎朗要求人们停止食用濒危野生动物以保护海洋生物。
√
3.What is one of the findings of the survey report
A.Lots of Chinese do not clearly know how to protect the ocean life.
B.The Chinese public would like to help protect marine biodiversity.
C.The Chinese public awareness of marine biodiversity should be raised.
D.Weibo and Tik Tok are the two most popular social platforms in China.
解析 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“The report finds that more than 80% of the survey...and have not received enough information about marine protection.”可推知，许多中国人不清楚如何保护海洋生物。
√
4.Which of the following best describes the campaign PSA
A.Interesting. B.Demanding.
C.Beneficial. D.Enjoyable.

In the summer months, fireflies (萤火虫) become lively, starting their “love stories”.Male fireflies fly around and a part of their belly (腹部) will light up.Then females sitting on the ground look up at the show and flash back to the males they like.They’re not going to mate (交配) unless they’ve exchanged these light signals (信号).
Firefly species have performed that for millions of years, lit only by the moon.Now humans are damaging their feelings, turning on street lights and LEDs at the fireflies’ summer party.
In the firefly world, it’s the females who are particularly turned off by man－made light.Owens, a researcher at Harvard University, led studies in experimental conditions and field conditions and found that male fireflies often keep flashing (闪光) under street lights and other kinds of overhead light, while female fireflies, active at night, basically shut down and stop reacting.
“Probably because they just can’t see the males very well，” Owens explained.“Typically male fireflies are looking down.Female fireflies are looking up at street lights and other light sources.”In lab conditions, not one of 20 pairs mated successfully under bright lights, while about half of firefly couples mated successfully in natural dim light.
In the last decade, the night sky became twice as bright due to the increasing use of LEDs, Owens said, which hurts the populations of fireflies. Sadly, no fireflies are protected under the Endangered Species Act presently.
“I like people to think about firefly extinction (灭绝) as sitting in a room of candles, and it’s beautiful，” said Sara Lewis, a professor of biology at Tufts University.“And if one or two of those candles went out, you probably don’t even notice it, but if that continues, eventually you are left sitting in complete darkness.”
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了人类对萤火虫生活环境的干扰以及对萤火虫种群的影响。
5.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.Exchanging light signals of love. B.Telling their love stories.
C.Mating and raising babies. D.Holding summer parties.
解析 代词指代题。根据第一段的“Then females sitting on the ground...exchanged these light signals(信号).”可知，萤火虫只有在交换表达爱意的光信号后才会交配；根据第二段中画线词所在句的“Firefly species have performed...the fireflies’ summer party.”可知，人造光源的出现给萤火虫的交配带来了不利的影响，而在以往月光没有影响萤火虫的交配，即它们交换表达爱意的光信号这种行为已经有很久的历史了。
√
6.What is a serious danger of man－made light to fireflies
A.It makes the female blind.
B.It stops the female from reacting.
C.It causes them to get lost.
D.It forces the male to shut off.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段的“In the firefly world, it’s the females who are particularly turned off...basically shut down and stop reacting.”可知，在路灯和其他顶灯下，在夜间活动的雌性萤火虫，基本上不会活动并停止做出反应；由此可知，人造光对萤火虫的严重危害在于它阻止了雌性做出反应。
√
7.What influences the success of firefly mating according to the research
A.The size of male and female.
B.The male and female mating time.
C.The brightness of surrounding light.
D.The number of firefly couples.
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段的“In lab conditions, not one of 20 pairs mated successfully...in natural dim light.”可知，影响萤火虫交配成功的因素是周围光线的亮度。
√
8.What does Sara Lewis say about the firefly extinction
A.It will surely happen eventually.
B.It produces a beautiful story.
C.It will come if nothing is done.
D.It happens in a room of candles.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I like people to think about firefly extinction...eventually you are left sitting in complete darkness.”可知，Sara Lewis认为如果不采取任何措施的话，萤火虫最终可能会灭绝。
√
Ⅱ.七选五
One great way to spend time outdoors is to garden.Here are some benefits you can get from gardening.

Develop a growth mindset (思维模式)
Psychologist Carol Dweck developed the difference between “fixed” and “growth” mindsets, and gardening is a great opportunity to develop the latter.__5__.When something doesn’t work out the way you hoped, you view it as a learning opportunity rather than as a failure.

1.B [分析文章结构可知设空处为小标题；根据下文“Studies have found evidence...right in your yard.”以及“you’re much more likely to be outside when the work of a garden requires it.”可知，本段说明花园就在自己的院子里，做园艺活动就会在户外、能够有更多时间接触自然，而这有助于减少焦虑与抑郁；B选项能够概括本段主旨，适合作为本段小标题。]
2.C [上文“The nice thing about a garden is that it can be right in your yard.”以及下文“you’re much more likely to be outside when the work of a garden requires it.”指出花园的好处在于就在院子里，花园里需要干的工作会让你更可能待在户外；C选项符合语境，“sitting in your yard”承接上文的“in your yard”。]
3.G [上文“A garden can make the freshest and healthiest foods available.And the types of foods can have a great impact on your mental health.”指出干园艺活能够提供最新鲜、最健康的食物，食物的种类对心理健康有很大的影响；G选项承接上文，阐述干园艺活种植食物带来的益处，符合语境。]

5.D [上文“Psychologist Carol Dweck developed the difference...is a great opportunity to develop the latter.”指出园艺是发展成长型思维模式的绝佳机会；D选项承接上文，指出有了成长的心态，我们就能不断地学习，符合语境。]

UNIT 2 WILDLIFE PROTECTION
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
You may be attracted by pictures of animals in the wild.You might have imagined yourself taking pictures of animals that are seldom seen in the city.If you do get that chance, you may want to consider the following tips or rules.
First of all, a lot of professional photographers give respect (尊重) to these animals and the environment they are in.Just remember that you should respect the animals and the environment in case these animals bite or attack you.
Keep in mind that you are taking pictures of real, live, wild animals.A wild animal may bite to protect itself.You must be aware while taking their pictures and be gentle in all your movements.Do not feed the animals, or interact (互动) with animals that are sleeping or caring for their young.
Change the flash of your camera to natural light, so the animals will not be frightened or surprised when you start shooting.Animals do not react well when they are surprised.Be very patient.Make sure you are aware of the changes in behavior of the animal and its emotions.Be familiar with the animals’ natural habitat.
Now if those rules are clear, it is time for planning.Consider the weather；some animals do not go out when it is raining while some animals love the rain.Therefore, a little research on the weather will not hurt.You should consider taking pictures after sunrise and before sunset.Now if the animal is active at night, then you should prepare to fight against not only the wild but also the darkness.
An adventure in the wild will make you very excited.However, you should be well prepared, have experts to back you up, and also a permit (许可证) for doing the photo shoot.If you do not have any of these, then maybe you should consider visiting the zoo instead.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要是告诉大家在给野生动物拍照时应该注意的问题。
1.What should you do to show respect to the wildlife
A.Turning off the flash.
B.Caring for their babies.
C.Feeding them whenever you want.
D.Interacting with them when they are sleeping.
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Change the flash of your camera...start shooting.”可知，给动物拍照时，关掉闪光灯，这样当你开始拍摄时，动物就不会被吓到或惊讶了。
√
2.What should you consider before taking pictures with the wildlife
A.Food and water.
B.Weather and time.
C.Emotions and safety.
D.Place and transportation.
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Consider the weather；some animals do not go out...not only the wild but also the darkness.”可知，要拍摄动物的照片，提前考虑天气和拍照时间是必要的。
√
3.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Most animals love being taken photos of.
B.We have to go to the zoo to take photos.
C.Only experts have a permit to take photos.
D.There is danger while taking photos with wild animals.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段“An adventure in the wild will make you very excited...then maybe you should consider visiting the zoo instead.”可知，野外探险会让你非常兴奋。然而，你应该做好充分的准备，要有专家做支持，而且要得到拍照的许可证。可推知，给野生动物拍照会有危险。
√
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A.To advertise a zoo.
B.To do some research.
C.To give some advice.
D.To introduce some wildlife.
解析 写作意图题。根据第一段“You may be attracted by pictures of animals in the wild...you may want to consider the following tips or rules.”并结合全文可知，本文主要是告诉大家在给野生动物拍照时应该注意的问题。因而，本文的写作目的是给大家一些建议。

B
Tariq Qaiser, an architect, is trying to protect mangroves (红树林).The trees could save Pakistan’s largest city Karachi, sitting on the Arabian Sea, from natural disaster.He comes to Bundal Island several times a week to document the illegal cutting of mangrove trees.Very often, “You can’t hear a single bird because the chain saws (锯) are so loud.The trees are cut down illegally for firewood，” he says, shaking his head.Besides, developers clear the mangroves to make room for construction.
Karachi has a hot climate, and its concrete buildings and paved roads make it even hotter.Offshore, there are islands where mangroves grow.They could be the key to slowing climate change.Mangrove forests pull carbon dioxide out of the air, holding four times as much of the planet－warming gas as other forests can.They support diverse ecosystems.As sea levels rise with global warming, the trees could play a big role in protecting coastal cities like Karachi from flooding.Karachi’s mangroves are disappearing.But its numbers are rising in other parts of Pakistan.With replanting efforts, the country has tripled (使成为三倍) its mangrove coverage over the past 30 years.
Qaiser’s work may have worked.Recently, a court in Karachi declared Bundal Island’s mangroves to be protected forests.But unforested parts of the island remain unprotected, and developers want to build there.City officials say this could provide much－needed housing and bring in billions of dollars.They claim that some of that money could be used to plant mangroves in other parts of Pakistan.
Ecologist Rafiul Haq appreciates Qaiser’s “extraordinary work” educating the public about mangroves.But he wishes Qaiser would look at the bigger picture.“Only 7% of Pakistan’s mangroves are in Karachi，” Haq says.He thinks it’s wrong to focus on the losses in 7% of the country while ignoring the success in 93% of it.But Qaiser believes it’s important to protect every bit.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了巴基斯坦卡拉奇红树林的重要性及保护措施。
5.What do we know about Karachi’s mangroves
A.They occupy the building land.
B.They’re home to various birds.
C.They’re primarily being used as firewood.
D.They protect the city from climate disasters.
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“The trees could save Pakistan’s largest city Karachi, sitting on the Arabian Sea, from natural disaster.”可知，卡拉奇的红树林保护城市免受气候灾难。
√
6.Why are efforts made to preserve the mangrove trees
A.Their birthplaces meet crisis.
B.They boast huge diversity.
C.Their bonds with nature are close.
D.They grow at a rapid speed.
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段“Offshore, there are islands where mangroves grow...cities like Karachi from flooding.”可知，红树林减缓气候变化，且能吸收很多的二氧化碳，在很多方面保护着城市。由此推知，人们努力保护红树林，因为它们与自然关系密切。
√
7.What does the Karachi government plan to do
A.Grow mangroves in other areas.
B.Destroy buildings to grow mangroves.
C.Build more mangrove reserves.
D.Use mangroves to make profit.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“City officials say this could provide much－needed housing...could be used to plant mangroves in other parts of Pakistan.”可知，卡拉奇政府计划在其他地区种植红树林。
√
8.What does Haq think of Qaiser’s work on Karachi’s mangroves
A.Challenging. B.Effective.
C.Significant. D.Partial.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ecologist Rafiul Haq appreciates...But Qaiser believes it’s important to protect every bit.”可知，Haq认为要有整体意识，不能只关注到失败的而不关注成功的方面，但Qaiser认为就算是再小的区域都要兼顾到。由此推知，Haq认为Qaiser对于卡拉奇红树林工作成果的认识是片面的，不全面的。

【大题提能】
Ⅰ.阅读理解
As humans encroach (侵入) more and more on wildlife habitats, animals are finding that the best way to survive isn’t to pack up and move—it’s to adapt to the night life.A variety of previously daytime animals such as foxes, deer and boars have become active at night to avoid human activity out of fear.But this nighttime switch comes with its own risks.
Researchers looked at how 62 species of animals on six continents changed their behavior in response to human activities such as hunting, farming, and development.The studies employed various technologies to follow the animals, from GPS trackers to motion－activated cameras.
Once night falls, the animals surveyed became far more active than they were before humans arrived, hunting and looking for food in the dark.For example, animals that used to split their activity evenly between day and night typically increased their nighttime activity to 68%.
The team also found the animals responded similarly to these human encroachments, regardless of whether human activity directly affected them.So, a deer might become more active at night simply because it sees humans hiking nearby, not because it’s being hunted.
The researchers believe these nighttime behaviors not only allow humans and animals to coexist more peacefully, they may be able to give us hints as to how to plan conservation efforts accordingly, such as limiting human activity during times when a specific species is more active.But moving to the nightlife could also have downsides for these animals.A nighttime lifestyle can reduce an animal’s ability to hunt and find food successfully and can even affect its ability to find a mate.Switching to a nighttime lifestyle can affect natural patterns of life even if these animals are doing so to reduce their interaction with humans.So, just because animals are becoming more active at night doesn’t mean they’ve escaped the influence of humans.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了随着人类越来越多地侵入野生动物栖息地，动物们发现生存的最佳方式不是收拾行李搬家，而是要适应夜间生活。
1.Why are animals becoming more active at night
A.It is easier to find food at night.
B.It is easier to escape being hunted.
C.They can be less affected by human.
D.They have got used to nightlife.
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A variety of previously daytime animals...to avoid human activity out of fear.”可知，动物在夜间变得更加活跃的原因是此时它们受人类的影响较小。
√
2.How did the researchers find the animals’ behavioral changes
A.They followed and watched the animals.
B.They used modern technologies.
C.They compared different animals.
D.They found more animals at night.
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The studies employed various technologies to follow the animals, from GPS trackers to motion－activated cameras.”可知，研究人员使用现代技术发现这些动物的行为变化。
√
3.What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A.Any human encroachment can affect animals.
B.Animals can be affected only when being hunted.
C.Deer can get used to nightlife easily.
D.Animals should stay away from humans.
解析 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The team also found the animals responded similarly to these human encroachments, regardless of whether human activity directly affected them.”可知，任何人类的侵犯都会影响动物。
√
4.Which word can possibly replace the underlined word “downsides” in paragraph 5
A.Dangers. B.Strengths.
C.Possibilities. D.Disadvantages.
解析 词义猜测题。由文章最后一段“But moving to the nightlife could also have downsides...to reduce their interaction with humans.”可知，这里主要讲夜间生活给动物带来的“不利”，所以猜测downsides表“不利或者劣势”。
√
Ⅱ.七选五
All living things need energy to move and grow.Energy can come in many different forms.__1__ While energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can be converted (转换) between different forms.
Where do plants get their energy They get their energy from the sun.Plants absorb sunlight with their leaves.__2__ This chemical process is called photosynthesis.Photosynthesis means, “making out of light”.The energy from the sun, light energy, is converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
Plants are called producers because they produce their own food.Producers form the base of every food chain in an ecosystem.Plants are eaten by animals, which are eaten by larger animals.For example, a plant takes in energy from the sun and turns it into plant food.__3__ Then, a human eats the rabbit.The energy the human gets from the food was originally energy from the sun!
The food humans eat provides us with energy.When we chew and digest food, a chemical reaction takes place.__4__ We require energy from food for basic functions, like moving and breathing.Energy from food also helps our body repair itself and stay warm.
__5__ Whole foods (天然食品), like kale, contain lots of important nutrients, such as calcium (钙) and potassium (钾).Sugary foods, like candy, do not contain as many nutrients.Whole foods can provide us with enough energy over long periods of time.So are you more energized throughout the day
A.The energy produced from this reaction fuels our bodies.
B.That plant might be eaten by a rabbit, giving the rabbit energy.
C.Notice how you feel when you eat whole foods like vegetables and fruits.
D.Through this process, energy from the sun is moved from one living thing to another.
E.They use the sun’s energy to change water and carbon dioxide into plant food and oxygen.
F.The amount of energy we get from food depends on which nutrients are in the food we eat.
G.For example, light energy, heat energy, and chemical energy are all different forms of energy.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了能量的来源和作用，以及植物、动物和人类如何获取和利用能量。
1.G [上文“Energy can come in many different forms.”提出能量有多种形式，G项举例说明能量有哪些形式，上下文语意连贯。]
2.E [下文“This chemical process is called photosynthesis.”提出光合作用的概念，根据句中“This chemical process”可知，上文会讲到光合作用。结合常识，E项正是光合作用的过程，且句中“the sun’s energy”照应上文中“Plants absorb sunlight”。]
3.B [根据下文“Then, a human eats the rabbit.”中“the rabbit”是特指，可推知设空句中会提到兔子，只有B项提到下文出现的兔子，指代关系成立。]
4.A [下文“We require energy from food for basic functions, like moving and breathing.Energy from food also helps our body repair itself and stay warm.”指出从食物中获取能量的作用，是对A项的解释说明，且句中“this reaction”照应上文中“a chemical reaction takes place”。]
5.F [下文“Whole foods (天然食品), like kale, contain lots of important nutrients...over long periods of time.”举例说明了不同食物中的不同营养物质，是对F项的举例说明。]
Ⅲ.完形填空
It is getting hot.It’s time to put on __1__ clothes and open up the windows.
