We have all heard how plastic pollution has overflowed every corner of the world. Recently, scientists have made a surprising discovery that microplastics are even found in the human bloodstream.
After analyzing blood samples (样本) from 22 healthy people, researchers found microplastics in 17 of them! Most of the microplastics were classified as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is commonly found in drink bottles, and there were small amounts of polyethylene, which makes up plastic bags.
Although the exact chemical effects of microplastics on our bodies are unknown, it is clear that the increasing amounts of plastic in our environment could bring a risk to human cells in the future.
Microplastics were never considered a significant threat to the atmosphere until recent studies began to reveal that they could be found everywhere across the skies. For example, scientists recently discovered the presence of microplastics in the Pyrenees Mountain Range in Europe, believed to have arrived by rain or snow.
The low mass of microplastics makes them spread through air, which is why they can travel hundreds, even thousands, of miles from their source. They are also likely to spread through wastewater, oceans, and even soil.
Microplastics that are being blown and swept into the air have the potential to affect air quality and cloud formation. In fact, massive microplastics in the air could form such a kind of clouds that tend to stick around longer than naturally forming clouds.
With microplastics accumulating in the air we breathe, there is also an increasing concern that they may affect human lungs. The new study will allow scientists to better understand the impacts on human health and is a reminder of the need to find other replacements for plastic.
4．What have scientists discovered about microplastics recently
A．They are mainly made up of PET. B．They’re a major source of pollution.
C．They exist everywhere in the world. D．They’ve found their way into human bodies.
5．Why is the Pyrenees Mountain Range mentioned in the fourth paragraph
A．To present a fact. B．To provide evidence.
C．To study a phenomenon. D．To introduce a topic.
6．What does the underlined word “accumulating” in the last paragraph mean
A．Becoming plentiful. B．Keeping declining.
C．Staying unchanged. D．Remaining unnoticed.
7．Where is the text probably taken from
A．A book review. B．An academic paper.
C．A scientific report. D．An environment brochure.
C
A new observation in Sumatra caught seasoned scientists by surprise. An orangutan (红毛猩猩) known as Rakus treated a fresh wound with a medicinal plant, making this the first time an animal has been seen applying a biologically active substance (物质) for its health benefits. This leaves scientists wondering: Did humans invent medicine, or does it pre-date our species
These animals are known to be among the most intelligent non-human primates (灵长类). They’ve been observed using tools, communicating vocally, and engaging in even more complex behaviors like calculated reciprocity, which involves aiding another orangutan with the expectation of being paid back. They can even use Skype with some help from humans.
Roughly 60,000-70,000 of these creatures remain in the wild, about 15,000 of which live on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. That’s where the Suaq Project, part of the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior, observes orangutans in their natural habitat.
The researchers noted in June that Rakus had a small wound on his face following a fight with another mature male orangutan. Several days later, Rakus did something no one had ever seen a primate do before. He began carefully picking the leaves from a climbing vine (藤蔓) known as akar kuning. Local human populations have long used these leaves for pain relief and to treat conditions like malaria. Orangutans don’t usually eat these plants; indeed, Rakus didn’t eat them. He chewed (嚼碎) them and then applied the resulting paste to his facial wound.
This is the first time researchers have seen such behavior in 21 years at the Sumatran research station. Wild orangutans are rarely injured, so this may be a rare but widespread behavior. Or perhaps Rakus is the only one that knows this trick. The researchers assumed that early humans may have learned about certain treatment by observing animals engaging in similar behaviors. And here we are, thousands of generations later, still watching and wondering just how smart they are. Increasingly, it looks like orangutans are one cave painting away from civilization.
8．Why does the author mention Skype in paragraph 2
A．To support an idea. B．To draw a conclusion.
C．To explain a problem. D．To present a suggestion.
9．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．How Rakus got injured. B．How Rakus treated his wound.
C．What Rakus ate in the wild. D．What Rakus explored in the forest.
10．What can be inferred about the new observation
A．It proves the medical value of a plant leaf.
B．It shows a widespread behavior among orangutans.
C．It answers one of scientists’ questions about medicine.
D．It adds evidence to show the intelligence of orangutans.
11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Non-human Primates Seen Using Tools in the Wild
B．Orangutans Proved to Be the Most Intelligent Primate
C．A Project Observes Orangutans in Their Natural Habitat
D．An Orangutan Observed Applying Medicinal Plant to a Wound
D
Native to New Zealand, this sweet little bird is called the tūturiwhatu, or New Zealand dotterel, and though endangered, it has found a unique shelter where it can nest and feed in relative peace.
Relative, because it comes with a significant amount of noise pollution. It’s the Auckland Airport, and 4 pairs of dotterel s have been recorded in the green areas alongside the outer runways this year.
Even though human activities are on the whole the largest driver of species decline around the Earth, what can be an obstacle to one species can be a shelter to another, and in the case of the Auckland Airport, wildlife manager Lucy Hawley said the high fences keep out the bird’s invasive predators.
“This is very attractive to nesting dotterels and our air field’s become a real shelter for them,” Hawley told RZN.com. “These tiny little birds take absolutely no notice of the giant planes moving all around them and have no issues setting up home right beside the taxiways.”
Over the last ten years, Hawley has estimated that she and her groundskeepers have seen 80 dotterel s hatch on the taxiways of the country’s busiest airport. The parents typically arrive between November and December. Over time the airport has taken time to work with professional wildlife biologists who have banded some of the birds in order to track their movements and nesting behavior.
Concerning the dotterel, there may only be 2,500 of them left in the country following years of egg predation from invasive creatures like stoats. Fortunately, the ground-nesting bird poses no risk to aviation and can live alongside the planes in relative comfort.
Hawley and her team use stakes (篱笆桩) to mark the nesting sites which can be practically invisible among the grass blades. “We love doing our part to help this important species to breed,” she said.
12．Where do these New Zealand dotterels live
A．In a bird shelter. B．In a busy airport.
C．On a motorway. D．In an abandoned airport.
13．What can be learned from Hawley’s words
A．Dotterels have poor hearing.
B．Beautiful airfield is a big attraction to dotterels.
C．High fences are obstacles to dotterels’ natural enemies.
D．Dotterels are natural architects and have great nesting skill.
14．What do Hawley’s team do to protect the species
A．They ensure the safety of its nest. B．They help it build the nest and breed.
C．They move its nest to a nearby reserve. D．They track its possible invasive predators.
15．What can be inferred from the passage
A．Illegal hunting has pushed dotterels to extinction.
B．Dotterels are putting the airport in great potential danger.
C．Excessive human protection does no good to endangered animals.
D．Endangered dotterels and the busy airport coexist in relative harmony.
二．七选五
With busy schedules, we can often forget about ways to stay sustainable on campus. 16 So, here are some easy tips to be more eco-friendly on campus.
17 Whenever you head to stores or supermarkets, you will find that they sell reusable bags. But you are recommended to bring the ones you already own in your dorm, because it can help reduce the amount of bags accumulating in the corner of your dorm.
Bring a reusable water bottle. If you are someone who likes to drink water with your meal, consider bringing a reusable water bottle to the dining halls. All of the vending machines come, equipped with a little sign. 18 However, the Earth says otherwise with all of those non-biodegradable plastic cups filling landfills.
Take the stairs as much as possible. If you find yourself able to, take the stairs to your classroom and dorm. Not only does taking the stairs allow for some minimal yet mighty exercise, but it also reduces energy use from the elevator. 19
Turn off the lights in time. 20 Although you wake up too late, and you are in a rush to get to your class in the early morning, don’t mind taking that extra second to press the switch. Every time you turn off the lights, it means something to the Earth.
A．It says not to bring personal bottles.
B．Use one of the eco-friendly bags you have.
C．It is of great importance to conserve energy.
D．Purchase some reusable bags whenever possible.
E．Besides, we don’t know how to reduce our waste in many cases.
F．It allows others who need it more to get to their classes on time.
G．The reusable glass bottles can be used to hold some plants and flowers.

But being fired was 29 because it was in this stillness that I began the healing.
I tried to 30 the sorrow at first but it forced me into isolation. Then I learned to talk about my grief openly and 31 it with my family. This made me feel 32 and stronger. I granted (准许) myself the time to 33 Neki’s objects. My home felt empty but the expectation of Neki’s presence remained. All I could do was 34 .

四、语法填空
Polar bears are being 36 (increase) threatened by the effects of climate change, but their 37 (disappear) could have far-reaching consequence. They are uniquely adapted to the extreme conditions of the Arctic Circle, 38 temperatures can reach -40°C． One reason for this is that they have up to 11 centimeters of fat under their skin. Humans would 39 (consider) to be obese and would be likely to suffer 40 diabetes and heart disease. Yet the polar bear experiences no such consequences.
In 2014, scientists 41 (compare) the genetic structure of polar bears with 42 of their closest relatives from a warmer climate, the brown bears. This allowed them 43 (determine) the genes that enable polar bears to survive in one of the toughest environments on Earth. Polar bears may therefore be an important study model to understand heart disease in humans.
The medical 44 (benefit) of the polar bear certainly have their importance in our preservation efforts, 45 these should not be the only factors taken into consideration. Polar bears are smart and they have good problem-solving abilities. If climate change were to lead to their extinction, this would mean not only the loss of potential breakthroughs in human medicine, but more importantly, the extinction of a smart animal.

47．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Jennifer worked with her mother in their vegetable garden every day. The produce from their garden was sold at the farmer's market. This is how they made their living. Jennifer often pretended the plants she tended were beautiful tulips, like Mrs. Talia’s prize flowers. “Foolish girl!” her mother scolded. “Flowers can't be eaten! Tend to the vegetables. That's our living.”
Jennifer knew her mother was right. The only person in the village who made money selling flowers was Mrs. Talia. She grew tulips and sold them to local flower shops. Every year she won first prize at the Tulip Festival. Other contestants whispered that Mrs. Talia used magic to grow her tulips. How else could she win first prize twenty years in a row
Jennifer envied Mrs. Talia. If she could sell flowers like Mrs. Talia, she would be able to buy things for her mother. But tulips were expensive to start, and Jennifer could only dream about growing them.
One day, Jennifer visited Mrs. Talia to see her flowers. Mrs. Talia was inspecting her tulips when she arrived. The garden of flowers springing up thrilled Jennifer. Mrs. Talia shattered her daydream. “Spying on me again!”Mrs. Talia frowned. Jennifer took a deep breath and explained she came only to see her flowers, hoping to grow such beautiful tulips and win a prize at the festival like her.
“You! Win a prize growing flowers ”Mrs. Talia chuckled and told Jennifer the secret to growing prize tulips had been passed down to her from past generations of her family. Mrs. Talia patted her shoulder and said sticking to vegetables was a better choice for her. Mrs. Talia returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Jennifer’s face. Then she pulled up what looked like a weed. “What's that ” Jennifer asked. Mrs. Talia said it was only a shabby plant and then threw itover the fence into the field beside the garden.
Jennifer smiled and had an idea. She bowed farewell to Mrs. Talia and went out of the garden gate. Jennifer looked down at the discarded plant on the village path and glanced back. Mrs. Talia was busy minding her prize tulips. Jennifer quickly bent over and picked up the plant before rushing home.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jennifer wondered what she should do with her plant.

47．Jennifer wondered what she should do with her plant. It suddenly occurred to her there was a quiet spot behind the cottage, a perfect place to grow for her little plant. Delighted at the thought of owning her own secret garden, she transplanted the tired flower carefully, exactly as Mrs. Talia did. Jennifer shared her secret with no one. She weeded and watered the recovering plant, whispering her dream of flower-growing glory to the little plant. Time spent with the little plant made Jennifer’s long days tending vegetables bearable. Finally, her tireless efforts paid off. Each time Jennifer visited her little plant, it looked greener and taller, giving her an increasing hope that she might win a prize at the festival.
Jennifer got up on festival morning. Her heart pounding with anticipation, she went to greet her vibrant, exotic flower. With a mix of pride and nervousness, she carried it to the festival, where it stood out among the rows of tulips. The villagers were captivated by its beauty, and the judges were astounded. As the prizes were announced, Jennifer’s flower won the hearts of all .Mrs. Talia’s mouth dropped open at the result and came to ask what her secret of planting flowers was. She mentioned it was being able to do something she enjoyed and trying her best. It turned out her mother was also at the festival. Shocked and proud, her mother said in a whisper “Proud of you and your dream.” A surge of warmth ran through her, offering her the energy to carry on.

We have all heard how plastic pollution has overflowed every corner of the world. Recently, scientists have made a surprising discovery that microplastics are even found in the human bloodstream.
After analyzing blood samples (样本) from 22 healthy people, researchers found microplastics in 17 of them! Most of the microplastics were classified as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is commonly found in drink bottles, and there were small amounts of polyethylene, which makes up plastic bags.
Although the exact chemical effects of microplastics on our bodies are unknown, it is clear that the increasing amounts of plastic in our environment could bring a risk to human cells in the future.
Microplastics were never considered a significant threat to the atmosphere until recent studies began to reveal that they could be found everywhere across the skies. For example, scientists recently discovered the presence of microplastics in the Pyrenees Mountain Range in Europe, believed to have arrived by rain or snow.
The low mass of microplastics makes them spread through air, which is why they can travel hundreds, even thousands, of miles from their source. They are also likely to spread through wastewater, oceans, and even soil.
Microplastics that are being blown and swept into the air have the potential to affect air quality and cloud formation. In fact, massive microplastics in the air could form such a kind of clouds that tend to stick around longer than naturally forming clouds.
With microplastics accumulating in the air we breathe, there is also an increasing concern that they may affect human lungs. The new study will allow scientists to better understand the impacts on human health and is a reminder of the need to find other replacements for plastic.
4．What have scientists discovered about microplastics recently
A．They are mainly made up of PET. B．They’re a major source of pollution.
C．They exist everywhere in the world. D．They’ve found their way into human bodies.
5．Why is the Pyrenees Mountain Range mentioned in the fourth paragraph
A．To present a fact. B．To provide evidence.
C．To study a phenomenon. D．To introduce a topic.
6．What does the underlined word “accumulating” in the last paragraph mean
A．Becoming plentiful. B．Keeping declining.
C．Staying unchanged. D．Remaining unnoticed.
7．Where is the text probably taken from
A．A book review. B．An academic paper.
C．A scientific report. D．An environment brochure.

A new observation in Sumatra caught seasoned scientists by surprise. An orangutan (红毛猩猩) known as Rakus treated a fresh wound with a medicinal plant, making this the first time an animal has been seen applying a biologically active substance (物质) for its health benefits. This leaves scientists wondering: Did humans invent medicine, or does it pre-date our species
These animals are known to be among the most intelligent non-human primates (灵长类). They’ve been observed using tools, communicating vocally, and engaging in even more complex behaviors like calculated reciprocity, which involves aiding another orangutan with the expectation of being paid back. They can even use Skype with some help from humans.
Roughly 60,000-70,000 of these creatures remain in the wild, about 15,000 of which live on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. That’s where the Suaq Project, part of the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior, observes orangutans in their natural habitat.
The researchers noted in June that Rakus had a small wound on his face following a fight with another mature male orangutan. Several days later, Rakus did something no one had ever seen a primate do before. He began carefully picking the leaves from a climbing vine (藤蔓) known as akar kuning. Local human populations have long used these leaves for pain relief and to treat conditions like malaria. Orangutans don’t usually eat these plants; indeed, Rakus didn’t eat them. He chewed (嚼碎) them and then applied the resulting paste to his facial wound.
This is the first time researchers have seen such behavior in 21 years at the Sumatran research station. Wild orangutans are rarely injured, so this may be a rare but widespread behavior. Or perhaps Rakus is the only one that knows this trick. The researchers assumed that early humans may have learned about certain treatment by observing animals engaging in similar behaviors. And here we are, thousands of generations later, still watching and wondering just how smart they are. Increasingly, it looks like orangutans are one cave painting away from civilization.
8．Why does the author mention Skype in paragraph 2
A．To support an idea. B．To draw a conclusion.
C．To explain a problem. D．To present a suggestion.
9．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．How Rakus got injured. B．How Rakus treated his wound.
C．What Rakus ate in the wild. D．What Rakus explored in the forest.
10．What can be inferred about the new observation
A．It proves the medical value of a plant leaf.
B．It shows a widespread behavior among orangutans.
C．It answers one of scientists’ questions about medicine.
D．It adds evidence to show the intelligence of orangutans.
11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Non-human Primates Seen Using Tools in the Wild
B．Orangutans Proved to Be the Most Intelligent Primate
C．A Project Observes Orangutans in Their Natural Habitat
D．An Orangutan Observed Applying Medicinal Plant to a Wound

Native to New Zealand, this sweet little bird is called the tūturiwhatu, or New Zealand dotterel, and though endangered, it has found a unique shelter where it can nest and feed in relative peace.
Relative, because it comes with a significant amount of noise pollution. It’s the Auckland Airport, and 4 pairs of dotterel s have been recorded in the green areas alongside the outer runways this year.
Even though human activities are on the whole the largest driver of species decline around the Earth, what can be an obstacle to one species can be a shelter to another, and in the case of the Auckland Airport, wildlife manager Lucy Hawley said the high fences keep out the bird’s invasive predators.
“This is very attractive to nesting dotterels and our air field’s become a real shelter for them,” Hawley told RZN.com. “These tiny little birds take absolutely no notice of the giant planes moving all around them and have no issues setting up home right beside the taxiways.”
Over the last ten years, Hawley has estimated that she and her groundskeepers have seen 80 dotterel s hatch on the taxiways of the country’s busiest airport. The parents typically arrive between November and December. Over time the airport has taken time to work with professional wildlife biologists who have banded some of the birds in order to track their movements and nesting behavior.
Concerning the dotterel, there may only be 2,500 of them left in the country following years of egg predation from invasive creatures like stoats. Fortunately, the ground-nesting bird poses no risk to aviation and can live alongside the planes in relative comfort.
Hawley and her team use stakes (篱笆桩) to mark the nesting sites which can be practically invisible among the grass blades. “We love doing our part to help this important species to breed,” she said.
12．Where do these New Zealand dotterels live
A．In a bird shelter. B．In a busy airport.
C．On a motorway. D．In an abandoned airport.
13．What can be learned from Hawley’s words
A．Dotterels have poor hearing.
B．Beautiful airfield is a big attraction to dotterels.
C．High fences are obstacles to dotterels’ natural enemies.
D．Dotterels are natural architects and have great nesting skill.
14．What do Hawley’s team do to protect the species
A．They ensure the safety of its nest. B．They help it build the nest and breed.
C．They move its nest to a nearby reserve. D．They track its possible invasive predators.
15．What can be inferred from the passage
A．Illegal hunting has pushed dotterels to extinction.
B．Dotterels are putting the airport in great potential danger.
C．Excessive human protection does no good to endangered animals.
D．Endangered dotterels and the busy airport coexist in relative harmony.
二．七选五
With busy schedules, we can often forget about ways to stay sustainable on campus. 16 So, here are some easy tips to be more eco-friendly on campus.
17 Whenever you head to stores or supermarkets, you will find that they sell reusable bags. But you are recommended to bring the ones you already own in your dorm, because it can help reduce the amount of bags accumulating in the corner of your dorm.
Bring a reusable water bottle. If you are someone who likes to drink water with your meal, consider bringing a reusable water bottle to the dining halls. All of the vending machines come, equipped with a little sign. 18 However, the Earth says otherwise with all of those non-biodegradable plastic cups filling landfills.
Take the stairs as much as possible. If you find yourself able to, take the stairs to your classroom and dorm. Not only does taking the stairs allow for some minimal yet mighty exercise, but it also reduces energy use from the elevator. 19
Turn off the lights in time. 20 Although you wake up too late, and you are in a rush to get to your class in the early morning, don’t mind taking that extra second to press the switch. Every time you turn off the lights, it means something to the Earth.
A．It says not to bring personal bottles.
B．Use one of the eco-friendly bags you have.
C．It is of great importance to conserve energy.
D．Purchase some reusable bags whenever possible.
E．Besides, we don’t know how to reduce our waste in many cases.
F．It allows others who need it more to get to their classes on time.
G．The reusable glass bottles can be used to hold some plants and flowers.

Polar bears are being 36 (increase) threatened by the effects of climate change, but their 37 (disappear) could have far-reaching consequence. They are uniquely adapted to the extreme conditions of the Arctic Circle, 38 temperatures can reach -40°C． One reason for this is that they have up to 11 centimeters of fat under their skin. Humans would 39 (consider) to be obese and would be likely to suffer 40 diabetes and heart disease. Yet the polar bear experiences no such consequences.
In 2014, scientists 41 (compare) the genetic structure of polar bears with 42 of their closest relatives from a warmer climate, the brown bears. This allowed them 43 (determine) the genes that enable polar bears to survive in one of the toughest environments on Earth. Polar bears may therefore be an important study model to understand heart disease in humans.
The medical 44 (benefit) of the polar bear certainly have their importance in our preservation efforts, 45 these should not be the only factors taken into consideration. Polar bears are smart and they have good problem-solving abilities. If climate change were to lead to their extinction, this would mean not only the loss of potential breakthroughs in human medicine, but more importantly, the extinction of a smart animal.

Jennifer worked with her mother in their vegetable garden every day. The produce from their garden was sold at the farmer's market. This is how they made their living. Jennifer often pretended the plants she tended were beautiful tulips, like Mrs. Talia’s prize flowers. “Foolish girl!” her mother scolded. “Flowers can't be eaten! Tend to the vegetables. That's our living.”
Jennifer knew her mother was right. The only person in the village who made money selling flowers was Mrs. Talia. She grew tulips and sold them to local flower shops. Every year she won first prize at the Tulip Festival. Other contestants whispered that Mrs. Talia used magic to grow her tulips. How else could she win first prize twenty years in a row
Jennifer envied Mrs. Talia. If she could sell flowers like Mrs. Talia, she would be able to buy things for her mother. But tulips were expensive to start, and Jennifer could only dream about growing them.
One day, Jennifer visited Mrs. Talia to see her flowers. Mrs. Talia was inspecting her tulips when she arrived. The garden of flowers springing up thrilled Jennifer. Mrs. Talia shattered her daydream. “Spying on me again!”Mrs. Talia frowned. Jennifer took a deep breath and explained she came only to see her flowers, hoping to grow such beautiful tulips and win a prize at the festival like her.
“You! Win a prize growing flowers ”Mrs. Talia chuckled and told Jennifer the secret to growing prize tulips had been passed down to her from past generations of her family. Mrs. Talia patted her shoulder and said sticking to vegetables was a better choice for her. Mrs. Talia returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Jennifer’s face. Then she pulled up what looked like a weed. “What's that ” Jennifer asked. Mrs. Talia said it was only a shabby plant and then threw itover the fence into the field beside the garden.
Jennifer smiled and had an idea. She bowed farewell to Mrs. Talia and went out of the garden gate. Jennifer looked down at the discarded plant on the village path and glanced back. Mrs. Talia was busy minding her prize tulips. Jennifer quickly bent over and picked up the plant before rushing home.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;

5．推理判断题。根据第四段“Microplastics were never considered a significant threat to the atmosphere until recent studies began to reveal that they could be found everywhere across the skies. For example, scientists recently discovered the presence of microplastics in the Pyrenees Mountain Range in Europe, believed to have arrived by rain or snow.”（微塑料从未被认为是对大气的重大威胁，直到最近的研究开始表明，它们在天空中无处不在。例如，科学家们最近在欧洲的比利牛斯山脉发现了微塑料的存在，据信是由雨水或雪水带来的。）可推知，第四段提到比利牛斯山脉是为了提供证据，证明微塑料无处不在，它们可以通过雨水或雪水被带到任何地方。故选B项。
6．词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“With microplastics accumulating in the air we breathe, there is also an increasing concern that they may affect human lungs.”（随着我们呼吸的空气中微塑料accumulating，人们越来越担心它们可能影响人类肺部。）中“also an increasing concern that they may affect human lungs.”可推知，人们越来越担心的是空气中微塑料的积累会对人类肺部产生影响。画线词与becoming plentiful同义，意为“积累；变得更多”。故选A项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了观察大猩猩用植物治疗伤口的相关研究以及发现。
8．推理判断题。根据第二段“These animals are known to be among the most intelligent non-human primates (灵长类). They’ve been observed using tools, communicating vocally, and engaging in even more complex behaviors like calculated reciprocity, which involves aiding another orangutan with the expectation of being paid back. They can even use Skype with some help from humans.(这些动物被认为是最聪明的非人类灵长类动物之一。人们观察到它们使用工具，进行口头交流，并参与更复杂的行为，如计算互惠，这包括帮助另一只猩猩并期望得到回报。他们甚至可以在人类的帮助下使用Skype)”可知，作者在第二段提到Skype是为了支持“大猩猩被认为是最聪明的非人类灵长类动物之一”这一个想法。故选A。
9．主旨大意题。根据第四段“The researchers noted in June that Rakus had a small wound on his face following a fight with another mature male orangutan. Several days later, Rakus did something no one had ever seen a primate do before. He began carefully picking the leaves from a climbing vine (藤蔓) known as akar kuning. Local human populations have long used these leaves for pain relief and to treat conditions like malaria. Orangutans don’t usually eat these plants; indeed, Rakus didn’t eat them. He chewed (嚼碎) them and then applied the resulting paste to his facial wound.(研究人员在6月份注意到，拉库斯在与另一只成年雄性猩猩打架后，脸上有一个小伤口。几天后，拉库斯做了一件没人见过的灵长类动物做过的事。他开始小心翼翼地从一种叫akar kuning的藤蔓上采摘叶子。当地居民长期以来一直使用这些叶子来缓解疼痛和治疗疟疾等疾病。猩猩通常不吃这些植物；事实上，拉库斯并没有吃它们。他咀嚼它们，然后将产生的糊状物涂在脸上的伤口上)”可知，第四段的主要内容是拉库斯如何处理他的伤口。故选B。
10．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers assumed that early humans may have learned about certain treatment by observing animals engaging in similar behaviors. And here we are, thousands of generations later, still watching and wondering just how smart they are. Increasingly, it looks like orangutans are one cave painting away from civilization.(研究人员认为，早期人类可能是通过观察动物的类似行为来了解某些治疗方法的。而我们，在几千代人之后，仍然在观察和好奇他们到底有多聪明。越来越多的迹象表明，猩猩似乎离人类文明只有一步之遥)”可知，新的观察结果增加了证明猩猩智力的证据。故选D。
11．主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new observation in Sumatra caught seasoned scientists by surprise. An orangutan (红毛猩猩) known as Rakus treated a fresh wound with a medicinal plant, making this the first time an animal has been seen applying a biologically active substance (物质) for its health benefits. This leaves scientists wondering: Did humans invent medicine, or does it pre-date our species (在苏门答腊岛的一项新观察让经验丰富的科学家们大吃一惊。一只名为Rakus的猩猩用一种药用植物治疗了一个新伤口，这是第一次看到动物为了健康而使用生物活性物质。这让科学家们想知道：是人类发明了药物，还是早于我们的物种？)”结合文章主要介绍了观察大猩猩用植物治疗伤口的相关研究以及发现。可知，D选项“观察到一只猩猩将药用植物涂抹在伤口上”最符合文章标题。故选D。

13．细节理解题。根据第三段“Even though human activities are on the whole the largest driver of species decline around the Earth, what can be an obstacle to one species can be a shelter to another, and in the case of the Auckland Airport, wildlife manager Lucy Hawley said the high fences keep out the bird’s invasive predators.(尽管人类活动总体上是地球上物种减少的最大驱动因素，但对一个物种来说可能是障碍的东西对另一个物种来说可能是避难所。在奥克兰机场的例子中，野生动物经理露西·霍利说，高围栏阻止了鸟类的入侵掠食者)”可知，高栅栏是小鸟天敌的障碍。故选C。
14．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Hawley and her team use stakes (篱笆桩) to mark the nesting sites which can be practically invisible among the grass blades. “We love doing our part to help this important species to breed,” she said. (霍利和她的团队用木桩来标记筑巢地点，这些地点在草叶中几乎是看不见的。“我们喜欢尽自己的一份力量来帮助这个重要的物种繁殖，”她说)”可知，霍利的团队保证了巢的安全。故选A。
15．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Fortunately, the ground-nesting bird poses no risk to aviation and can live alongside the planes in relative comfort.(幸运的是，这种在地面筑巢的鸟不会对航空业构成威胁，它们可以相对舒适地生活在飞机旁边)”可知，濒临灭绝的新西兰鸟和繁忙的机场相对和谐地共存。故选D。

47．Jennifer wondered what she should do with her plant. It suddenly occurred to her there was a quiet spot behind the cottage, a perfect place to grow for her little plant. Delighted at the thought of owning her own secret garden, she transplanted the tired flower carefully, exactly as Mrs. Talia did. Jennifer shared her secret with no one. She weeded and watered the recovering plant, whispering her dream of flower-growing glory to the little plant. Time spent with the little plant made Jennifer’s long days tending vegetables bearable. Finally, her tireless efforts paid off. Each time Jennifer visited her little plant, it looked greener and taller, giving her an increasing hope that she might win a prize at the festival.
Jennifer got up on festival morning. Her heart pounding with anticipation, she went to greet her vibrant, exotic flower. With a mix of pride and nervousness, she carried it to the festival, where it stood out among the rows of tulips. The villagers were captivated by its beauty, and the judges were astounded. As the prizes were announced, Jennifer’s flower won the hearts of all .Mrs. Talia’s mouth dropped open at the result and came to ask what her secret of planting flowers was. She mentioned it was being able to do something she enjoyed and trying her best. It turned out her mother was also at the festival. Shocked and proud, her mother said in a whisper “Proud of you and your dream.” A surge of warmth ran through her, offering her the energy to carry on.
