A 篇(限时7分钟)
(2024·湖北襄阳一模)
As a mushroom scientist，you are vastly outnumbered，with estimates suggesting that there are between 2.2 million and 3.8 million species of fungi (真菌)，the majority of which are yet to be identified．However，professionals in the field are not alone in their
efforts to uncover new species．An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged，bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals．These amateurs have even made significant discoveries．One such amateur is Taylor Lockwood，a 74-year-old mushroom enthusiast and professional photographer．
In 1984，while living on the Mendocino coast of California，Taylor Lockwood developed a fascination with mushrooms．“Outside my cottage were these amazing mushrooms，” he says．“And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said，‘Taylor，go out and tell the world how pretty we are．’” Lockwood answered their call and purchased camera equipment to capture their true nature．His passion for photographing mushrooms was so intense that he would even dig holes next to the mushrooms to get the perfect angle for his shots．
In the Monongahela National Forest，Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves．Upon deeper investigation，fungi researcher Amy Rossman confirmed that it was a “hazel glove” mushroom，which is a rare find．“Mushrooms are not like plants，” Rossman says．“They don't come up at the same time every year，and so sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits．” Rossman says that's why it's so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye．
A few years ago，Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos weren't sufficient，so he chose to create time-lapse (延时拍摄的) videos of mushrooms．“When I do time-lapse，I see so much life happening around the mushrooms—insects，worms and other small creatures interacting with them，” he says．Lockwood's love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time．Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work，he identifies himself as an artist at heart．
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Taylor Lockwood，一名蘑菇爱好者和摄影师，在真菌学领域作出了重大贡献。
1．What can we learn about mushroom amateurs from paragraph 1？
(　　)
A．They keep close track of the growth of fungi．
B．They help identify new species of mushrooms．
C．They replace professional scientists in the field．
D．They classify the majority of mushroom species．
√
B　[细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“...However，professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species．An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged，bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals．These amateurs have even made significant discoveries．”可知，蘑菇爱好者们在探索新真菌品种方面有重大发现，故选B。]
2．What inspired Lockwood to photograph mushrooms？(　　)
A．His desire for knowledge．
B．His curiosity about nature．
C．The beauty of nearby mushrooms．
D．The appeal of outdoor photography．
√
C　[细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知，小屋附近蘑菇的美让Taylor决定用相机去拍摄它们，故选C。]
3．Which of the following best describes Lockwood according to paragraph 3？(　　)
A．Skilled and observant．
B．Focused and flexible．
C．Talented and optimistic．
D．Organized and responsible．
√
A　[推理判断题。根据文章第三段第一句可知，Taylor在森林里发现了稀有的蘑菇品种，再结合第三段中“‘They don't come up at the same time every year，and so sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits．’Rossman says that's why it's so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye．”可知，Taylor是一个有经验且善于观察的人，故选A。]
4．Why did Lockwood decide to make time-lapse videos of mushrooms？
(　　)
A．To improve his photography techniques．
B．To capture dynamic life in an artistic way．
C．To collect biological data for deeper research．
D．To use a new approach to scientific studies．
B　[推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，Taylor决定拍摄蘑菇的延时视频是为了以艺术的方式捕捉动态生活，故选B。]

B 篇(限时7分钟)
(2025·广东汕头模拟)
Watching the behaviour and body language of zoo animals could be the key to understanding and improving their welfare，new research suggests． Traditionally，zoos have focused on more straightforward measures．
The new review，by the University of Exeter and the University of Winchester，says zoos have made great improvements in recent years，but closer observation of animal behaviour—a method called Qualitative Behavioural Assessment，developed in farming—could show even more about their state of mind．
An animal's positioning of its body，facial movements and activity levels are among the things that might tell whether it is excited，calm，interested，nervous，relaxed，etc．
“Zookeepers are knowledgeable about their animals，and they will often recognise an animal's state of mind by its behaviour and body language，” said Dr． Paul Rose，of the University of Exeter．
“What we are suggesting is a more scientific method of this，carried out over time．”
“Certain behaviours will show certain moods (情绪) in an animal，and we should build our knowledge of this for different animals that live in zoos． For example，lions have a lot of facial expressions，and research on these expressions could help zoos understand the animals' state of mind． This information could then be used to improve welfare by changing diets，feeding times or any number of other aspects of the way animals are kept．”
Dr． Rose carries out much of his research at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre，and is now examining how the swans (天鹅) there might show their state of mind through their behavioural expression．
“We're looking at how much time they spend exploring their habitat，which could show what they're feeling，” he said． “When they're unsure，they appear to move less and be more careful，and draw their feathers (羽毛) close to their bodies．”
The study suggests research opportunities for Qualitative Behavioural Assessment and practices that could be used by zoos． “Animal welfare in zoos has improved greatly in the last 10 or 20 years，and this method gives zoos another way to recognise and improve the welfare of animals，” Dr． Rose said．
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一项新的研究，这项研究表明，观察动物园动物的行为和肢体语言可能是了解和改善它们福利的关键。
5．How to improve zoo animals' welfare？(　　)
A．More focus on animals' eating and sleep．
B．Closer observation of zoo animals' behaviours．
C．More attention to zoo animals' state of mind．
D．Adoption of more straightforward measures．
√
B　[细节理解题。根据第一段中“Watching the behaviour and body language of zoo animals could be the key to understanding and improving their welfare，new research suggests．”可知，改善动物园动物福利的关键是仔细观察动物的行为和肢体语言。再结合第二段可知，对动物行为更密切地观察可以更多地了解它们的心理状态，从而提高它们的福利。故选B。]
6．What is the function of lions as an example？(　　)
A．To show body language vary from animal to animal．
B．To show the significance of animal body language．
C．To show lions are rich in their facial expressions．
D．To show lions are treated well in zoos．
√
B　[推理判断题。根据第六段中“Certain behaviours will show certain moods in an animal，and we should build our knowledge of this for different animals that live in zoos． For example，lions have a lot of facial expressions，and research on these expressions could help zoos understand the animals' state of mind．”可知，将狮子作为例子，是为了展示对动物肢体语言的研究可以帮助动物园了解动物的心理活动，说明动物肢体语言的重要意义。故选B。]
7．What does Dr． Rose's research of swans suggest？(　　)
A．They usually explore their habitat．
B．They always draw their feathers close to their bodies．
C．They move little in fearful situations．
D．They spend little time in their habitat．
√
C　[推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“When they're unsure，they appear to move less and be more careful，and draw their feathers close to their bodies．”可知，天鹅会在感觉不确定时行动更少更小心，即天鹅会在害怕的情况下很少行动。故选C。]
8．What can we know from the last paragraph？(　　)
A．Animal welfare in zoos is decreasing．
B．Qualitative Behavioural Assessment is meaningful．
C．Farm animals enjoy greater welfare than zoo animals．
D．Zoos do a good job in recognising animal body language．
√
B　[推理判断题。根据最后一段“The study suggests research opportunities for Qualitative Behavioural Assessment and practices that could be used by zoos． ‘Animal welfare in zoos has improved greatly in the last 10 or 20 years，and this method gives zoos another way to recognise and improve the welfare of animals，’ Dr． Rose said．”可知，定性行为评估有助于改善动物园动物的福利，为动物园提供了另一种认识和改善动物福利的方法，即定性行为评估是有意义的。故选B。]

Dear David，
Delighted to know you are interested in the exhibition of creative handmade works held in our school last week，I am writing to share it with you．
All works were made by us students，which were created from waste and used materials．I made a shopping bag from a pair of worn-out jeans，spending a lot of time designing，decorating and perfecting it．My work received lots of likes．
I find it enjoyable and meaningful to make handmade works from recyclable things．And I've developed my innovative ability as well．
Yours，
Li Hua
