三、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
第一节
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。
(A)The Siberian Tiger: Guardians of the Forest
The Siberian tiger, the largest of all big cats, once thrived in the vast forests of Northeast Asia. Today, fewer than 600 remain in the wild, making them one of the most endangered species on Earth. The primary threats to their survival are habitat destruction and illegal poaching. Decades of logging and agricultural expansion have fragmented their territories, leaving tigers with limited space to hunt and raise cubs. Poaching remains a critical issue, driven by the illegal trade of tiger bones and fur for traditional medicine and luxury goods.
To combat these challenges, governments and conservation organizations have launched joint efforts. China and Russia established cross-border nature reserves spanning thousands of square kilometers, providing safe corridors for tigers to roam. Anti-poaching teams equipped with drones and infrared cameras patrol these areas, arresting illegal hunters and dismantling traps. Local communities are also involved: villagers receive training to monitor tiger movements and report suspicious activities. Eco-tourism has emerged as a sustainable solution, offering jobs to locals while educating visitors about tiger conservation.
Despite progress, challenges persist. Climate change threatens bamboo forests—a key habitat component—and human-tiger conflicts occasionally arise near villages. Scientists emphasize that saving the Siberian tiger requires global cooperation and long-term commitment.
Questions:
26..What is the main reason for the Siberian tiger’s endangered status
A. Climate change destroying bamboo.
B. Natural disasters.
C. Lack of food sources.
D. Habitat loss and illegal hunting.
27.How do governments protect Siberian tigers
A. By encouraging deforestation.
B. By creating reserves and enforcing anti-poaching laws.
C. By selling tiger products legally.
D. By relocating all tigers to zoos.
28.Why is eco-tourism important for tiger conservation
A. It allows tourists to hunt tigers.
B. It provides income and raises awareness.
C. It destroys tiger habitats.
D. It increases human-tiger conflicts.
(B)Bees: Tiny Heroes of Our Ecosystem
Bees, though small, play an irreplaceable role in maintaining Earth’s biodiversity. They pollinate over 75% of flowering plants and 35% of global food crops, including apples, almonds, and coffee. Without bees, ecosystems would collapse, and food shortages would devastate human populations.
However, bee populations are plummeting due to pesticides, habitat loss, and climate change. Neonicotinoid pesticides, widely used in agriculture, paralyze bees’ nervous systems, leaving them unable to navigate or forage. Urbanization has replaced wildflower meadows with concrete, depriving bees of nectar sources. Extreme weather patterns disrupt their breeding cycles.
To reverse this decline, individuals and governments must act. Farmers can adopt organic practices and plant pollinator-friendly crops. Homeowners can create “bee gardens” with native flowers and avoid chemical sprays. Governments in Europe and North America have banned harmful pesticides, while researchers develop disease-resistant bee strains. Even small actions, like building “bee hotels” from bamboo sticks, offer safe nesting sites.
Questions:
29. What percentage of global food crops depend on bees
A. 25%
B. 35%
C. 50%
D. 75%
30.Which factor is NOT a threat to bees
A. Urban gardens.
B. Pesticides.
C. Habitat destruction.
D. Climate change.
31.How can individuals help protect bees
A. By using more insecticides.
B. By destroying bee nests.
C. By planting native flowers.
D. By paving all gardens.
32.What government action has been taken to save bees
A. Promoting pesticide use.
B. Ignoring climate change.
C. Encouraging deforestation.
D. Banning harmful chemicals.
(C)Humpback Whales: A Conservation Success Story
Humpback whales, known for their haunting songs and acrobatic breaches, were nearly driven to extinction by commercial whaling in the 20th century. By the 1960s, their population had dropped to 5,000. However, international bans on whaling and marine protected areas (MPAs) have enabled a remarkable recovery, with current estimates exceeding 80,000 individuals.
MPAs restrict fishing and shipping activities in critical habitats, reducing accidental entanglements in fishing gear. Satellite tagging allows scientists to track migration routes and protect breeding grounds. Ecotourism has also played a role: whale-watching tours generate revenue for coastal communities while fostering appreciation for marine life.
Despite progress, new threats loom. Plastic pollution chokes oceans, and ship strikes injure whales. Climate change disrupts krill populations—their primary food source. Conservationists urge stricter regulations on plastic waste and slower shipping speeds in whale habitats.
Questions:
33. What caused the near extinction of humpback whales
A. Overhunting for oil and meat.
B. Plastic pollution.
C. Climate change.
D. Ship collisions.
34.How have marine protected areas helped whales
A. By encouraging whaling.
B. By limiting fishing and shipping.
C. By increasing plastic use.
D. By ignoring migration routes.
35.What is a current threat to humpback whales
A. Lack of tourists.
B. Decline in krill due to warming oceans.
C. International bans.
D. Whale-watching tours.
36.Why is ecotourism beneficial for whale conservation
A. It allows hunting whales.
B. It increases ship traffic.
C. It funds research and educates the public.
D.It destroys marine habitats.
(D)Zoos: Ethical Guardians or Outdated Institutions
Modern zoos have evolved from mere entertainment venues to centers of conservation and education. Institutions like the San Diego Zoo participate in global breeding programs for endangered species, such as the California condor and black rhinoceros. These programs aim to reintroduce animals into the wild, bolstering dwindling populations.
Zoos also serve as educational hubs. Interactive exhibits teach visitors about biodiversity loss and climate change. For example, the London Zoo’s “Rainforest Life” exhibit simulates Amazonian ecosystems, highlighting deforestation impacts. Many zoos fund field projects, such as anti-poaching patrols in Africa and coral reef restoration in Australia.
Critics argue that captivity harms animals’ physical and mental health. However, advancements in enclosure design—such as spacious habitats mimicking natural environments—and enrichment activities (e.g., puzzle feeders for primates) have improved animal welfare. The ethical debate continues, but zoos undeniably contribute to species survival.
Questions:
37. What is the primary role of modern zoos
A. To entertain visitors with animal shows.
B. To sell exotic pets.
C. To conserve endangered species through breeding programs.
D. To capture wild animals for display.
38.How do zoos educate the public
A. By organizing hunting competitions.
B. Through interactive exhibits on conservation.
C. By ignoring environmental issues.
D. By keeping animals in small cages.
39.Why do some people criticize zoos
A. They are too expensive to visit.
B. They prioritize animal welfare over profits.
C. Captivity may harm animals’ well-being.
D. They refuse to participate in breeding programs.
40.What improvement have zoos made to address ethical concerns
A. Using smaller enclosures.
B. Designing naturalistic habitats and enrichment activities.
C. Increasing animal performances.
D. Focusing solely on profit.

Siberian Tiger Fact File
Appearance: The Siberian tiger is a large - sized animal. It has orange fur with black stripes, which makes it look very majestic and beautiful. The stripes are unique to each tiger, just like human fingerprints.
Habitat: It mainly inhabits the forests of Northeast China. These forests provide the tigers with suitable living environments, including sufficient shelter and prey.
Food: Its main food sources are deer and wild boars. These prey animals are also abundant in the forest areas where the tigers live, meeting the tigers' dietary needs.
Reasons for Endangerment: Deforestation is a major threat. With the decrease in forest areas, the living space of the Siberian tiger is constantly shrinking. In addition, illegal hunting is also a serious problem. Tigers are hunted for their skins, bones, and other body parts, which leads to a sharp decrease in their numbers.
Protection Measures: To protect the Siberian tiger, many nature reserves have been established. These reserves provide a safe living environment for the tigers. At the same time, laws have been strengthened to severely punish illegal hunting and deforestation. In this way, we hope to ensure the survival and reproduction of the Siberian tiger and protect this precious species.
