本文的语篇类型为科普类说明文，其文体特点具有“说明性、单一性、通俗性”，即用通俗易懂的语言解释一个科学现象或一种科学知识。阅读本文时，可以通过锁定关键词获取课文大意。了解黑脉金斑蝶迁徙的背景、目的和方式以及人类行为对其生存的影响。另外，需要厘清文中的因果逻辑关系。如本文第三段即采用了从原因到结果的说明顺序：黑脉金斑蝶可以判断时间(原因1)＋能用眼睛测量太阳的位置(原因2)→能够判定前进方向(结果)→成功抵达过冬的地点(最终结果)。第四段提到了黑脉金斑蝶的数量下降的原因。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly.
赏析：本句中使用了代词that指代前面提到的migrations，避免了行文中的重复与累赘，将自然界最为壮观的迁徙之一用简洁凝练的语言表述了出来。
2．They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day.It uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun.
赏析：第一句使用了tell的熟词生义的用法，此处作“分辨，识别”讲， 介绍了科学家发现黑脉金斑蝶可以判断时间。第二句使用了measure(测量)一词，指出黑脉金斑蝶能用眼睛测量太阳的位置。
3．The solution to the mystery of the monarch's amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble.Its population has crashed by as much as 90 per cent in the last few years.
赏析：第一句中的短语in serious trouble点明了黑脉金斑蝶的生存环境非常的恶劣；第二句中的crashed一词形象地说明了其严重性——数量在近年内减少了百分之九十之多，激发读者保护黑脉金斑蝶的责任感。
①(同义替换)I could know that he was angry from his expression.__________
②(完成句子)“I'm sorry to bother you so late at night，” he continued.“But I'm ______________.”
“很抱歉这么晚打扰您，”他继续说道， “但我遇到了严重的麻烦。”
(二)赏句式之高
1．They cut down trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars eat.
赏析：本句中运用了两个由that引导的定语从句，分别解释说明了先行词chemicals和plants的内涵，令细节描写更详尽，说明对象更具体，更易于读者理解。
2．The more we know about this lovely creature, the greater the chance it will survive and keep its place in the natural world for a long time to come.
赏析：句中采用了“the＋比较级 ..., the＋比较级 ...”句式，倡议人们行动起来保护黑脉金斑蝶，这一句式不但节奏明快，而且具有很强的鼓舞性，常用于表述各类建议、倡议等。
①(汉译英)你锻炼得越多，你就越健康。
________________________________________________________________________
②(汉译英)你越早离开，就越早到达机场。

③(英译汉)If we kill too many of the cats that catch mice that eat our food, the ecosystem will be destroyed.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
(三)赏描摹之韵
1．(细节描写)Every autumn, millions of these beautiful insects with fine black and orange wings begin a long and difficult journey.Somehow they manage to travel around 4,000 kilometres south and find their way to California or Mexico.
赏析：第一句中使用了beautiful insects，fine black and orange wings等词细致描绘了黑脉金斑蝶的外貌，令读者有如亲见；在描述其迁徙旅程时使用了 long and difficult，精准地写出了整个迁徙过程历时漫长、困难重重。第二句话中更是列举了具体的数字来佐证这一点，注意其中around(大约)一词的使用，体现了说明文用词的严谨与精确。
2．(写作手法)Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year.This annual movement is called migration.
赏析：此处采用了“下定义”的写作手法来说明什么是迁徙。下定义是说明文常用的说明方法，主要是运用简洁明确的语言对事物的本质特征进行概括说明。下定义的线索词主要有：is/was; that is/was; is called; means; refers to等。
The real scientist examines facts in order to find out the truth for himself. This is called the scientific method.
走进大自然，亲近大自然，保护大自然，是我们人类赖以生存的实践活动，拯救身处其中的濒危野生动物更是我们义不容辞的义务与责任。我们不单要树立保护动物的意识，同时要深刻认识到与大自然和睦相处具有重大的现实意义和深远的历史意义。我国政府大力保护珍稀野生动物的成效卓著，保护藏羚羊就是一个成功的范例。善待大自然，善待动物，就是善待我们人类自己。
A DAY IN THE CLOUDS
The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp.To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch.On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. antelopes.
Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang, and Qinghai.Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I am struck by their beauty.I'm also reminded of the danger They were hunted, illegally, for their valuable fur.
My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang.He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve.The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Xizang.To Zhaxi, the land is sacred and protecting the wildlife is a way of life.“We're not trying to save the animals，” he says.“Actually, we're trying to save ourselves.”
The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope.The population dropped by more than 50 percent.Hunters were shooting antelopes to make profits.Their habitats were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.
In order to save this species from extinction, the Chinese government placed it under national protection.Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks.Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The measures were effective.The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list.The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.
In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars.I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me.Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley.Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain.However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown.She had found a young owl (猫头鹰) on the ground.When I arrived, I saw a 2- to 3-week-old owl.It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick (雏鸟) and it seemed fine.If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck.My next work was to construct a nest and anchor (固定) it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful.A wire basket was found.I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable.I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent.I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well.I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.”可知，在作者把小猫头鹰放在一个新的鸟窝里之后，它很快就安静下来，所以是鸟窝让小猫头鹰安静下来的。
√
4．How would the author feel about the outcome of the event
A．It's unexpected. B．It's beautiful.
C．It's humorous. D．It's discouraging.
解析：推理判断题。根据文章描述可知，作者为小猫头鹰做了鸟窝，并且帮助它找回了父母，作者的救助成功了；再结合第一段中的“However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.”可推测，作者认为结果很美好。

How much do you love animals Maybe not as much as photographer Joel Sartore. He is traveling the world to take pictures of as many animals as he can find, which allows people to focus on the beauty and uniqueness of each animal.
Sartore is working to take photos of all 20,000 different types of animals living in the world's zoos, aquariums (水族馆) and wildlife shelters. And he's already taken nearly 15,000! He hopes his photos will raise awareness of these planet's most endangered creatures, and that he can document them before they're gone. “My job is to tell their stories and hope that the world cares in time，” he told The Weather Channel in 2022.
Sartore calls his project the Photo Ark, like the story of Noah's Ark, in which a large boat is built to save every type of animal in the world from a flood. He founded the Photo Ark in 2006 in his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska.
He doesn't just take his animal photos in the usual zoo environment, however — he puts each animal on a black or white background with studio lights. This helps him photograph their true colors, and lets people see a little mouse as clearly as a big elephant — and look each animal right in the eye. “When people connect to animals through eye contact, we've got a real chance at changing human behavior，” Sartore says.
The response has indeed been huge. Sartore has more than 1.6 million followers online and a best-selling series of Photo Ark books. He asks people to buy his books and photos, give money to the Photo Ark, and support zoos, aquariums and wildlife shelters near where they live.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了摄影师乔尔·萨托雷为了保护濒危动物，在世界各地旅行，尽可能多地拍摄他能找到的动物，这让人们专注于每只动物的美丽和独特性。
5．How many more photos does Sartore need for his project
A．5,000. B．10,000.
C．15,000. D．20,000.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Sartore is working to take photos of all 20,000 ...he's already taken nearly 15,000！”可知，萨托雷需要为他的项目再拍摄五千张照片。故选A。
√

8．What is people's attitude towards Sartore's project
A．Unclear. B．Doubtful.
C．Supportive. D．Disappointed.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可推知，人们对萨托雷的项目持支持态度。故选C。

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley.Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain.However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown.She had found a young owl (猫头鹰) on the ground.When I arrived, I saw a 2 to 3 week old owl.It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick (雏鸟) and it seemed fine.If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck.My next work was to construct a nest and anchor (固定) it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful.A wire basket was found.I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable.I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent.I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well.I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

How much do you love animals Maybe not as much as photographer Joel Sartore. He is traveling the world to take pictures of as many animals as he can find, which allows people to focus on the beauty and uniqueness of each animal.
Sartore is working to take photos of all 20,000 different types of animals living in the world's zoos, aquariums (水族馆) and wildlife shelters. And he's already taken nearly 15,000! He hopes his photos will raise awareness of these planet's most endangered creatures, and that he can document them before they're gone. “My job is to tell their stories and hope that the world cares in time，” he told The Weather Channel in 2022.
Sartore calls his project the Photo Ark, like the story of Noah's Ark, in which a large boat is built to save every type of animal in the world from a flood. He founded the Photo Ark in 2006 in his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska.
He doesn't just take his animal photos in the usual zoo environment, however — he puts each animal on a black or white background with studio lights. This helps him photograph their true colors, and lets people see a little mouse as clearly as a big elephant — and look each animal right in the eye. “When people connect to animals through eye contact, we've got a real chance at changing human behavior，” Sartore says.
The response has indeed been huge. Sartore has more than 1.6 million followers online and a best selling series of Photo Ark books. He asks people to buy his books and photos, give money to the Photo Ark, and support zoos, aquariums and wildlife shelters near where they live.
5．How many more photos does Sartore need for his project
A．5,000. B．10,000.
C．15,000. D．20,000.
6．What is the purpose of Sartore's project
A．To make a living in this way.
B．To help save animals in danger.
C．To meet his own interest in animals.
D．To offer another way to learn about animals.
7．What can we know about Sartore's photos of the animals
A．Some are black and white.
B．They are about animals in danger.
C．They were taken in the natural habitat.
D．Some were taken in designed environment.
8．What is people's attitude towards Sartore's project
A．Unclear. B．Doubtful.
C．Supportive. D．Disappointed.
