Deciduous forests(落叶林)are home to many wild animals.The development and expansion of human in the forests has caused many of their native species to become endangered.
Giant Panda
The giant panda,one of the most recognizable endangered species,is a large, docile species of bear native to the deciduous forest of eastern China,Myanmar and Vietnam,Because of its limited diet-the panda's main source of food is bamboo-the species is limited in its habitat to areas where bamboo is available.Now the species only can be found today in 20 small patches of forest at the western edge of its historic range.
Gray and Red Wolves
The gray wolf,which once ranged from the East Coast of America to the West, and south to Mexico,now has a population of only 5,000 in the lower 48 states, mostly in the Rocky Mountains.The smaller red wolf,native to the southeastern United States,was declare extinct in the wild in 1980,though conservation efforts have reintroduced small captive populations to the wild in California
Red-Crowned Crane
The red-crowned crane is native to Japan,Korea an eastern China,Agricultural expansion and deforestation(森林砍伐)in these areas have removed a great deal of the marshes and forests that are the crane's primary habitats For a time,the crane was thought to have complete disappeared from Japan,but the recent discovery of cranes in Japanese marshlands has restarted conservation efforts.Today,around 2,500 cranes
live in the wild,including 1,000 in Japan.
European Mink
Native to Europe,the European mink ranges from France in the west to Finland in the north,Russia in the east and the Balkans in the south,Destruction of the mink's aquatic(水的)habitat and use of the species for fur have caused dramatic drops in the species'population,which has been reduced by 85 per cent since the mid-19th century.

Last summer,I decided to volunteer at a community center in a small rural town.
I had always lived in the city,and the idea of spending two months in a place where life moved at a slower pace was both exciting and intimidating.Little did I know,this experience would change my perspective on life and help me grow in ways I never
expected.
The community center served as a hub(中心)for local activities,offering after- school programs for children,English classes for adults,and support for elderly residents.My main role was to assist with the children's programs.Every morning,I helped organize games,art projects,and reading sessions.At first,I struggled to connect with the kids.Many of them were shy,and I felt unsure of how to engage them.But over time,I learned to be patient and creative.I started using storytelling and hands-on activities to capture their attention,and soon,the classroom was filled
高一英语试题 第3页共12页 高一英语试题 第4页共12页
with laughter and enthusiasm.
One of the most memorable moments was when a young girl named Lily,who had barely spoken a word during the first week,finally opened up.She shared her dream of becoming a teacher and even helped me lead a reading session.Seeing her confidence grow was incredibly rewarding and reminded me of the impact small actions can have.
By the end of the summer,I had not only developed new skills but also gained a deeper understanding of myself.I learned to adapt to unfamiliar situations, communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds,and appreciate the simple joys of life.This experience inspired me to continue volunteering and to approach challenges with a more open mind.

Have you ever wondered what animals are talking about With the development of AI,we may be able to understand their languages!
In Professor Karen Bakker's new book,The Sounds of Life:How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants,she talks about how AI is helping us to make an animal version of Google Translate.
All around the animal kingdom,there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand.Elephants for example talk with each other using infrasound(次声波) — far below our human hearing range.Coral in the ocean also sends sound waves to attract baby coral to safer areas to grow.This is surprising as coral doesn't have any ears!Scientists have placed listening equipment into these environments to pick up the sounds humans cannot hear.
After the sounds are recorded,AI can study their meaning,according to the news website Vox.For example,Israeli researchers used AI to translate bats'15,000 calls. They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about four things:food,sleep positions,invasion of personal space,and unwanted advances.
This technology can not only understand the animals but communicate back to them.For example,bees use dances to communicate.A research team in Germany, therefore,put the bee language AI system into a robot bee.They asked the robot to create a dance routine to tell the bees where the flowers were,Vox reported.
28.What can AI do for people in Karen Bakker's opinion
A.AI helps translate animals'sound.
B.AI helps animals receive human's sound.
C.AI helps people do translations better.
D.AI can help people develop Google Translate.
29.What do we know about the sounds made by animals
A.They can help animals get used to their environments.
B.Corals have ears that can hear all animal sounds.
C.Some of the sounds cannot be heard by humans.
D.All communications among elephants are infrasound.
30.How did scientists tell bees where the flowers were
A.By making a robot bee tell the bees about the route by dancing.
B.By creating a certain sound with the AI system.
C.By asking a robot bee to teach them a new language.
高一英语试题 第5页共12页 高一英语试题 第6页共12页
D.By training other bees to lead them there.
31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text A.Making an animal version of Google Translate
B.Recording sounds with AI
C.Receiving infrasound with AI
D.Talking to animals with AI
D
Scientists often compare coral reefs( 珊 瑚 礁 )to underwater rainforest,yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest,corals are animals.The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color from algae(藻类)living inside them.When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution,they halt the interdependent (相互依存的) relationship with algae,typically pushing them out and turning white.Corals are still alive when they are white,but they're at risk and many eventually die,turning dark brown.
Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals.One common option is to create more protected areas —essentially national parks in the ocean.Beyond nature preserves,some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods.One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining.The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution,which is especially tough,because corals there help support fisheries worth$100 million every year.
To keep the wild ecosystem alive,Erinn Muller,the center's director,and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally,keeping them to make them reproduce,and then reattaching them to the reef.They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea.So far,the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.
In The Bahamas,Ross Cunning,a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium,focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects.He published a study of two Bahamian reefs,one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave,and one that didn't."We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes,"says Cunning.There's evidence of
corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate.“The big question scientists need investigate,"adds Gunning,“is how much more heat corals can adapt to".
32.What does the underlined word "halt"in the first paragraph mean
A.End. B.Develop. C.Strengthen. D.Weaken.
33.What do Muller and her team do to save corals
A.Restore the damaged reefs. B.Grow corals by hand underwater C.Create more protected areas. D.Move corals to unpolluted areas.
34.What do Gunning's words suggest
A.Many corals have been genetically improved.
B.Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals.
C.Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking D.The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.
35.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A.Relationship between corals and algae B.Efforts made to save corals
C.Impact of climate warming on corals D.Survival crisis faced by coral reefs

参考答案
When it comes to the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, we can't help but think of its thriving markets,
grand buildings, and busy harbors. However, it was completely destroyed by the massive eruption of
Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD .This tragedy, which serves as a reminder, makes us realize the
importance of disaster prevention and preparedness.
Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, and typhoons, pose great threats to life and property.
Consequently, to prevent such disasters, we can take active measures like planting trees to hold soil,
building dams to control floods, and conducting strict construction standards. Furthermore,it is vital
to raise education on disaster awareness and conduct regular drills.
When disasters strike, swift evacuation, access to emergency supplies, and effective communication
are important. Cooperation and unity can lead us through the darkest hours. Let's learn from Pompeii
