Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一项最新研究展开,主要讲述了蚂蚁比人类更早种植“庄稼”。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“While the mass extinction was destructive for many species, including dinosaurs, it presented an opportunity for fungi. With plentiful rotten plant matter on the ground, ants developed an evolutionary partnership with fungi that still endures today.”可知,大灭绝让土地上出现了很多腐烂的植物,这给真菌大量繁殖提供了条件。故选D。
2.A 段落大意题。根据第三段“The research, published in the journal Science, analysed genetic data from hundreds of ant and fungus species to create detailed evolutionary trees. These genetic timelines played an important role in revealing the evolution of ants’ agricultural techniques. The study builds on Schultz’s 35 years of research into ant-fungus relationships, during which he and his team collected thousands of genetic samples from Central and South America. By comparing wild fungal species with ants’ domesticated fungus, the researchers determined that ants have been farming fungi since shortly after the asteroid impact.”可知,第三段作者主要介绍了实验中用到的实验方法, 包括收集、分析、比较。故选A。
3.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“‘Somehow, over the course of 66 million years, they’ve been able to continue to control crop disease and develop antibiotics that continue to be effective,’ Schultz told Newsweek. ‘We’ve only been using antibiotics for less than 100 years and we have major problems keeping up with resistance and developing new antibiotics.’”可知, Schultz认为,人类在保持抗生素的持续有效性方面不如蚂蚁,因此以后的研究应集中在这一领域,Schultz可能会同意这一观点。故选C。
4.D 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其由第一段“While humans may think of agriculture as a uniquely human achievement, ants have been farming their own food for millions of years, a new study has revealed. Researchers found that ants began farming fungi (真菌) 66 million years ago, around the time an asteroid (小行星) struck Earth and caused a global mass extinction.”可知,第一段就提出观点:蚂蚁很早就开始种植“粮食”。文章围绕这一观点展开,所以D选项“蚂蚁早在人类之前就掌握了农业”符合题意。故选D。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了树木如何通过保持距离来维持生物多样性,以及背后的Janzen-Connell假说。
1.themselves 考查代词。本空用反身代词themselves,作organize的宾语。故填themselves。
2.fields 考查名词复数。根据前面的100可知,此处应用名词field的复数形式。故填fields。
3.typically 考查副词。本空用副词typically,修饰动词travel,作状语。故填typically。
4.nearest 考查形容词最高级。由句意可知,本空用near的最高级形式nearest,表示“最近的”。故填nearest。
5.Compared 考查非谓语动词。本句谓语为has,此处为非谓语动词,且each tree与compare为被动关系,应用过去分词,作状语,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Compared。
6.In 考查介词。本空用介词in,固定短语in other words表示“换句话说”,位于句首,首字母大写。故填In。
7.be explained 考查动词语态。主语this与explain为被动关系,应用be explained,表被动,位于情态动词can后,be动词用原形。故填be explained。
8.natural 考查形容词。本空用形容词natural,作前置定语,修饰名词enemies。故填natural。
9.that/which 考查定语从句。本空引导限制性定语从句,先行词是pathogens,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
10.why 考查主语从句。本空引导主语从句,从句缺少原因状语,用连接副词why引导,表示“为什么”。故填why。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Ruby因为精力旺盛,曾被很多家庭多次送回收容所,后来进入当地警方的搜救部门,经过Daniel O’Neil下士的长期训练成为K-9骑警,最终因拯救一名失踪男孩而成为英雄。

While humans may think of agriculture as a uniquely human achievement, ants have been farming their own food for millions of years, a new study has revealed. Researchers found that ants began farming fungi (真菌) 66 million years ago, around the time an asteroid (小行星) struck Earth and caused a global mass extinction.
While the mass extinction was destructive for many species, including dinosaurs, it presented an opportunity for fungi. With plentiful rotten plant matter on the ground, ants developed an evolutionary partnership with fungi that still endures today. Over time, this relationship grew stronger, with ants improving their agricultural practices and developing advanced methods 27 million years ago, a process similar to the domestication of crops by humans. “Ants have been practising agriculture and fungus farming for much longer than humans have existed,” Ted Schultz, the lead author of the new paper, said in a statement. “We could probably learn something from the agricultural success of these ants over the past 66 million years.” Fungi-farming ants are particularly diverse in the Americas and the Caribbean, with nearly 250 different species engaged in this practice.
The research, published in the journal Science, analysed genetic data from hundreds of ant and fungus species to create detailed evolutionary trees. These genetic timelines played an important role in revealing the evolution of ants’ agricultural techniques. The study builds on Schultz’s 35 years of research into ant-fungus relationships, during which he and his team collected thousands of genetic samples from Central and South America. By comparing wild fungal species with ants’ domesticated fungus, the researchers determined that ants have been farming fungi since shortly after the asteroid impact.
The ants have bacteria that can produce antibiotics (抗生素) to fight off diseases attacking their fungi. “Somehow, over the course of 66 million years, they’ve been able to continue to control crop disease and develop antibiotics that continue to be effective,” Schultz told Newsweek. “We’ve only been using antibiotics for less than 100 years and we have major problems keeping up with resistance and developing new antibiotics.”
( )1.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A.Ants began to coexist with fungi 27 million years ago.
B.Around 250 species of ants worldwide took part in fungus farming.
C.Ants used more advanced ways of practising agriculture than humans.
D.Dead plant matter provided conditions for fungi to expand.

A.Human history is much longer than that of ant agriculture.
B.The antibiotics produced by ants could be used to treat humans.
