B 篇(限时7分钟)
(2025·陕西西安模拟)
The California sea otter (海獭)，once hunted to the edge of extinction，has staged a thrilling comeback in the last century．Now，scientists have discovered that the otters' success story has led to something just as remarkable: the restoration of their declining coastal marsh (沼泽) habitat．
Elkhorn Slough，a coastal marsh within Monterey Bay，had been experiencing severe damage．The root cause was a growing population of shore crabs，which fed heavily on the marsh plants，weakening the structural integrity of the habitat．Coastal marshes like these are not only natural defenses against storm waves but also serve as important carbon storage areas and water-cleaning systems．
The conservation-driven comeback of the sea otter has been crucial．California's coastlines were once alive with sea otters．Sadly，they were nearly wiped out at the hands of fur traders．In the 1980s，conservation efforts aided these otters in re-occupying large areas of their former range．Now，Elkhorn Slough has the highest concentration of sea otters in California，with a population of about 100．By naturally feasting on crabs，the otters have helped a significant regrowth of plant life．Brent Hughes，a scientist working alongside Angelini，led a three-year study．Their findings were clear: in areas with sea otters，crab numbers fell markedly．This led to a resurgence in plant growth，which in turn stabilized the soil and lowered the rate of soil washing away．
As the sea otter population continues to restore，their positive impact on coastal ecosystems is likely to increase．It not only showcases the sea otter as a central species—a species that has a significant effect on its natural environment—but also highlights the essential nature of top predators (捕食者) in preserving ecological harmony．“My honest reaction was—this could become a classic in the literature，” says a scientist Lekelia Jenkins．She reveals marsh restoration also helps people by reducing flooding．“Suddenly，sea otters go from just cute things we like to something that can protect our livelihoods and our properties．”
4．What change did the disappearance of sea otters bring about？( )
A．Fewer predatory crabs．
B．More coastal plants．
C．Better water-cleaning effect．
D．Worse coastal ecological balance．
5．What does the underlined word “resurgence” in paragraph 3 mean？( )
A．Barrier． B．Advancement．
C．Destruction． D．Revival．
6．What is the author's purpose in quoting Lekelia Jenkins？( )
A．To highlight the importance of coastal marshes．
B．To introduce a new research study on sea otters．
C．To demonstrate the practical benefits of sea otters．
D．To emphasize the need for increased conservation efforts．
7．What message is conveyed from sea otters' impact？( )
A．The necessity for controlled hunting．
B．The interconnectedness of the ecosystem．
C．The drawbacks of wildlife reintroduction．
D．The need for human intervention in nature．
C 篇(限时7分钟)
(2025·福建厦门模拟)
Native wild horses in North America went extinct 10，000 years ago．In the 16th century，European settlers brought domesticated (驯化了的) horses to this continent，and their population multiplied．Some people consider them as a reintroduced native species，while others see them as invasive pests that damage ecosystems．Today there are more wild horses in the American West than the land can support，and the government has to control their numbers through birth-control vaccines and occasional but controversial killings．
However，Erick Lundgren，a postdoc at Aarhus University，notes that large plant-eaters play a crucial role in the ecosystem，where grass and shrubs are either consumed by animals or burned．Therefore，reintroducing extinct plant-eating mammals，like wild horses in this case，could potentially reduce the occurrence of fires．He advocates taking them off the rangelands (牧场)，where they're hated for competing with cattle for food，and strategically placing them where they can do what they do best and benefit the environment．
Although conservationists generally prefer native organisms to restore ecosystems，non-native species can fill in the ecological gaps left by extinct animals．A lot of research still looks at how bad invasive species are for the environment，but that's not the only possibility．For example，Australian saltwater crocodiles that were nearly extinct in the 1970s are now a species of“least concern”，thanks to the invasive pigs they've come to feast on．
“People will protest that a species doesn't belong here．But the word ‘belong’ isn't science；it's nativism，”Lundgren said．Many of the areas we consider “wilderness”today were ecologic created by native people who pruned (修剪) plants and watched over controlled burns．“We're changing the planet quickly yet refusing to let the living beings on it change with it，”he said．If we take away the issue of belonging and consciously assign the non-native species a role to play，what we're left with is a wilder and more diverse world．
8．What do we know about wild horses in North America today？( )
A．Their population grows rapidly．
B．They are native to the continent．
C．Their living spaces are narrowing．
D．They are protected from being killed．
9．How could we use wild horses to control wildfires？( )
A．Leave them undisturbed．
B．Remove them from rangelands．
C．Promote their reproductive rate．
D．Utilize their grass-eating nature．
10．What is paragraph 3 mainly about？( )
A．The value of non-native animals．
B．The efforts in ecosystem restoration．
C．The need for protecting native species．
D．The importance of preserving biodiversity．
11．What does the last paragraph suggest doing？( )
A．Reducing human impact on nature．
B．Forbidding invasion of new species．
C．Staying open to non-native animals．
D．Returning animals to native habitats．

(2025·陕西西安模拟)
The California sea otter (海獭)，once hunted to the edge of extinction，has staged a thrilling comeback in the last century．Now，scientists have discovered that the otters' success story has led to something just as remarkable: the restoration of their declining coastal marsh (沼泽) habitat．
Elkhorn Slough，a coastal marsh within Monterey Bay，had been experiencing severe damage．The root cause was a growing population of shore crabs，which fed heavily on the marsh plants，weakening the structural integrity of the habitat．Coastal marshes like these are not only natural defenses against storm waves but also serve as important carbon storage areas and water-cleaning systems．
The conservation-driven comeback of the sea otter has been crucial．California's coastlines were once alive with sea otters．Sadly，they were nearly wiped out at the hands of fur traders．In the 1980s，conservation efforts aided these otters in re-occupying large areas of their former range．Now，Elkhorn Slough has the highest concentration of sea otters in California，with a population of about 100．By naturally feasting on crabs，the otters have helped a significant regrowth of plant life．Brent Hughes，a scientist working alongside Angelini，led a three-year study．Their findings were clear: in areas with sea otters，crab numbers fell markedly．This led to a resurgence in plant growth，which in turn stabilized the soil and lowered the rate of soil washing away．
As the sea otter population continues to restore，their positive impact on coastal ecosystems is likely to increase．It not only showcases the sea otter as a central species—a species that has a significant effect on its natural environment—but also highlights the essential nature of top predators (捕食者) in preserving ecological harmony．“My honest reaction was—this could become a classic in the literature，” says a scientist Lekelia Jenkins．She reveals marsh restoration also helps people by reducing flooding．“Suddenly，sea otters go from just cute things we like to something that can protect our livelihoods and our properties．”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍海獭的恢复历程及其对沿海沼泽生态系统的积极影响，强调了保护濒危物种对生态平衡的重要性。
4．What change did the disappearance of sea otters bring about？( )
A．Fewer predatory crabs．
B．More coastal plants．
C．Better water-cleaning effect．
D．Worse coastal ecological balance．
D [细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知，海獭的消失使岸边螃蟹数量不断增加，从而导致了沿海生态平衡的恶化。故选D。]
5．What does the underlined word “resurgence” in paragraph 3 mean？( )
A．Barrier． B．Advancement．
C．Destruction． D．Revival．
D [词义猜测题。画线词句前文“By naturally feasting on crabs，the otters have helped a significant regrowth of plant life．”说明海獭通过以螃蟹为食，可以帮助植物的再生。从而推知画线词应为“复苏”的意思，与D项同义。故选D。]
6．What is the author's purpose in quoting Lekelia Jenkins？( )
A．To highlight the importance of coastal marshes．
B．To introduce a new research study on sea otters．
C．To demonstrate the practical benefits of sea otters．
D．To emphasize the need for increased conservation efforts．
C [推理判断题。根据最后一段中“She reveals marsh restoration also helps people by reducing flooding．‘Suddenly，sea otters go from just cute things we like to something that can protect our livelihoods and our properties．’”可知，作者引用Lekelia Jenkins的话是为了证明海獭对人类的实际益处，如减少洪水灾害等。故选C。]
7．What message is conveyed from sea otters' impact？( )
A．The necessity for controlled hunting．
B．The interconnectedness of the ecosystem．
C．The drawbacks of wildlife reintroduction．
D．The need for human intervention in nature．
B [推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句可知，文章通过介绍海獭对沿海生态系统的积极影响，传达了生态系统之间相互联系的信息。故选B。]

(2025·福建厦门模拟)
Native wild horses in North America went extinct 10，000 years ago．In the 16th century，European settlers brought domesticated (驯化了的) horses to this continent，and their population multiplied．Some people consider them as a reintroduced native species，while others see them as invasive pests that damage ecosystems．Today there are more wild horses in the American West than the land can support，and the government has to control their numbers through birth-control vaccines and occasional but controversial killings．
However，Erick Lundgren，a postdoc at Aarhus University，notes that large plant-eaters play a crucial role in the ecosystem，where grass and shrubs are either consumed by animals or burned．Therefore，reintroducing extinct plant-eating mammals，like wild horses in this case，could potentially reduce the occurrence of fires．He advocates taking them off the rangelands (牧场)，where they're hated for competing with cattle for food，and strategically placing them where they can do what they do best and benefit the environment．
Although conservationists generally prefer native organisms to restore ecosystems，non-native species can fill in the ecological gaps left by extinct animals．A lot of research still looks at how bad invasive species are for the environment，but that's not the only possibility．For example，Australian saltwater crocodiles that were nearly extinct in the 1970s are now a species of“least concern”，thanks to the invasive pigs they've come to feast on．
“People will protest that a species doesn't belong here．But the word ‘belong’ isn't science；it's nativism，”Lundgren said．Many of the areas we consider “wilderness”today were ecologic created by native people who pruned (修剪) plants and watched over controlled burns．“We're changing the planet quickly yet refusing to let the living beings on it change with it，”he said．If we take away the issue of belonging and consciously assign the non-native species a role to play，what we're left with is a wilder and more diverse world．

Dear David，
Having reviewed your initial draft for the poster design competition on “Protecting Wildlife”，I'm writing to offer some suggestions for improvement．
Your design seems to lack a message that can motivate people to take action．Additionally，the quality of the images and the cluttered layout need to be improved．Therefore，I suggest you use a concise and convincing message and high-quality images relevant to the theme．Meanwhile，you'd better simplify the layout by removing some unnecessary elements that distract attention from the message．
I hope my feedback is helpful．Best of luck with your design．
Yours，
Li Hua
