Yesterday，Professor Wang gave us a lecture about how to survive in natural disasters.As we all know，natural disasters like floods，droughts，hurricanes，earthquakes and landslides can cause great loss which is hard to measure.With the increasing greenhouse effect，the climate is getting warmer and warmer and the ecology is damaged.So there would be more natural disasters.With the rainy season approaching，what should we do if we are suffering a horrible flood？He said first of all，whatever happens，we should stay calm and never be too frightened，or we will be trapped and miss the chance to escape.Secondly，pay close attention to the latest weather forecast and make full preparations.When a flood warning is issued，leave our home and attempt to head for higher ground at once.Thirdly，if we are outdoors，do not risk driving into flooded areas where we and our vehicle can be stuck quickly.Last，do keep in mind that nothing is more important than your life，so protecting yourself is a top priority.
昨天，王教授给我们做了一场关于如何在自然灾害中生存的讲座。众所周知，洪水、旱灾、飓风、地震和山体滑坡等自然灾害会造成难以估量的巨大损失。随着温室效应的不断加剧，我们的气候变得越来越暖，生态环境也遭到了破坏。因此，自然灾害会愈发频繁。随着雨季的临近，如果我们遭遇了可怕的洪水，我们应该怎么办呢？王教授说，首先，无论发生什么，我们都应保持冷静，绝不能过于恐慌，否则就会陷入困境并错失逃生机会。其次，要密切关注最新的天气预报并做好充分准备。当发布洪水预警时，应立即离开住所，设法前往高地。再次，如果我们身处户外，切勿冒险驶入洪水淹没的区域，否则我们和车辆都会很快被困住。最后，务必记住，没有什么比生命更重要，所以保护自己是最优先的事项。

Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
We all experience the presence of wild animals in our daily lives，whether it is the song of a garden bird or the fish on our plate.It’s important to consider the key role that the surprising diversity(多样性) of wild animals plays in our own survival.From the powerful whale to the small dung beetle，wild animals are all important pieces that make up life on the earth.
Wildlife helps most trees grow by spreading seeds，and they also help many of our food plants.They keep our forests strong，so they can hold a lot of carbon.A large number of animals move nutrients(养分) around in nature，which is good for industries like fisheries，and help prevent tipping points in places like the Amazon.Small animals underground，like soil helpers，make food grow better and stop flooding.
We risk our own survival if we lose these wild species.And it is not just important that they exist—their diversity is especially important.We need wildlife to interact with other animals and their habitats for effective ecological benefits.
Understanding the importance of wild animal species makes much sense.The 2024 Living Planet Report showed a 73% average drop in wild vertebrate species since 1970.The Nature’s Technicians report makes it clear why these falls are disastrous not only for wildlife but also for people.
These two reports arrived at just the right moment.Countries will have an important talk soon about how to stop and fix the damage to nature，discussing what each country should do and what help is needed worldwide，under the Convention on Biological Diversity.What more of a wake-up call do we need than understanding that the fall in wild animals is more serious than expected and that such results could threaten our food systems and economies
Let’s ensure that this international conference is remembered as the important moment when we come together for a better planet—for wildlife and people alike.

(2025·广东广州高一上期末)
The dodo is one of the most famous birds ever to have lived and also one of the most mysterious.Considered the first animal to die out due to human actions，it has been described as awkward and unintelligent.A new study is challenging this image，however.
The dodo，a flightless bird with a large，hooked beak(鸟喙)，lived on Mauritius，an island in the Indian Ocean.Adult dodos were up to about 3 feet tall and weighed up to 51 pounds，making them larger than a modern turkey.They likely ate fruits，nuts，and seeds from the forest floor and swallowed stones to break up food in their bodies，which some modern birds do as well.
Few dodo fossils or samples of soft tissue have been found，which means scientists haven’t been able to learn much else about them.To address that，a research team looked through 400 years of writing and scientific gatherings on the dodo.They concluded that the animal was probably not such an awkward bird after all.Written descriptions of live dodos suggested that the birds actually moved quickly.
The team also re-examined dodo fossils and remains and concluded that the bird had powerful tendons(肌腱) in its toes—just similar to modern birds that climb and run.This provided further evidence that the dodo was an active，speedy bird.“The birds were fast and，before being wiped out，had been doing their thing and doing it incredibly well for millions of years，” said Neil Gostling，an author of the recent study.
Scientists think dodos went extinct in the 1600s when Dutch sailors in Mauritius began hunting them.Dodos didn’t have predators on the island before that，so they weren’t afraid of humans and were easy to catch.This contributed to the idea that the birds were slow and not smart.However，scientists also know that sailors brought cats，dogs，and rats，which ate dodos’ chicks and damaged their habitat，helping to kill them off.
The research team’s work is just the beginning of a larger project aimed at finding out more about the ancient creature.“The mystery of the dodo bird is about to be cracked wide open，” said Markus Heler，another author of the study.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了渡渡鸟是有史以来最著名的鸟类之一，也是最神秘的鸟类之一。渡渡鸟曾被人们认为是笨拙且不聪明的。但是，一项新的研究表明渡渡鸟是活跃且移动迅速的。
5．What was the traditional view of the dodo
A．It was a large and skilled flyer.
B．It was a clever and adaptable bird.
C．It moved slowly and appeared dull.
D．It shared habits with some modern birds.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Considered the first animal to die out due to human actions，it has been described as awkward and unintelligent.”可知，传统观点认为渡渡鸟移动缓慢且看起来愚笨，故选C。
6．How did the researchers gain more knowledge about the dodo
A．By studying a copy of dodo fossils and relics.
B．By analyzing the creature’s genetic structure.
C．By looking through old records and collections.
D．By watching behaviors of similar modern species.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To address that，a research team looked through 400 years of writing and scientific gatherings on the dodo.”可知，研究人员通过查看旧记录和收藏来获得有关渡渡鸟的更多知识，故选C。
7．What does the underlined word “predators” mean in paragraph 5
A．Friends. B．Hunters.
C．Neighbors. D．Competitors.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在句子“Dodos didn’t have predators on the island before that，so they weren’t afraid of humans and were easy to catch.”可知，在荷兰水手开始猎杀它们之前，因为岛上没有它们的捕猎者，所以渡渡鸟不惧怕人类，因而容易被捕捉，画线单词意为“捕猎者”，故选B。
8．What is the next goal of the research team’s work
A．To better protect bird species.
B．To gain a deeper understanding of dodos.
C．To correct former research findings.
D．To uncover the secrets to dodos’ extinction.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The research team’s work is just the beginning of a larger project aimed at finding out more about the ancient creature.‘The mystery of the dodo bird is about to be cracked wide open，’said...”可推知，研究小组接下来的工作目标是更加深入了解渡渡鸟，故选B。

Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
A
We all experience the presence of wild animals in our daily lives，whether it is the song of a garden bird or the fish on our plate.It’s important to consider the key role that the surprising diversity(多样性) of wild animals plays in our own survival.From the powerful whale to the small dung beetle，wild animals are all important pieces that make up life on the earth.
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了野生动物多样性对人类生存的重要性，指出物种数量下降的现状及危害，呼吁各国通过国际会议共同努力保护野生动物。
Wildlife helps most trees grow by spreading seeds，and they also help many of our food plants.They keep our forests strong，so they can hold a lot of carbon.A large number of animals move nutrients(养分) around in nature，which is good for industries like fisheries，and help prevent tipping points in places like the Amazon.Small animals underground，like soil helpers，make food grow better and stop flooding.
We risk our own survival if we lose these wild species.And it is not just important that they exist—their diversity is especially important.We need wildlife to interact with other animals and their habitats for effective ecological benefits.
Understanding the importance of wild animal species makes much sense.The 2024 Living Planet Report showed a 73% average drop in wild vertebrate species since 1970.The Nature’s Technicians report makes it clear why these falls are disastrous not only for wildlife but also for people.
These two reports arrived at just the right moment.Countries will have an important talk soon about how to stop and fix the damage to nature，discussing what each country should do and what help is needed worldwide，under the Convention on Biological Diversity.What more of a wake-up call do we need than understanding that the fall in wild animals is more serious than expected and that such results could threaten our food systems and economies
Let’s ensure that this international conference is remembered as the important moment when we come together for a better planet—for wildlife and people alike.

The dodo is one of the most famous birds ever to have lived and also one of the most mysterious.Considered the first animal to die out due to human actions，it has been described as awkward and unintelligent.A new study is challenging this image，however.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了渡渡鸟是有史以来最著名的鸟类之一，也是最神秘的鸟类之一。渡渡鸟曾被人们认为是笨拙且不聪明的。但是，一项新的研究表明渡渡鸟是活跃且移动迅速的。
The dodo，a flightless bird with a large，hooked beak(鸟喙)，lived on Mauritius，an island in the Indian Ocean.Adult dodos were up to about 3 feet tall and weighed up to 51 pounds，making them larger than a modern turkey.They likely ate fruits，nuts，and seeds from the forest floor and swallowed stones to break up food in their bodies，which some modern birds do as well.
Few dodo fossils or samples of soft tissue have been found，which means scientists haven’t been able to learn much else about them.To address that，a research team looked through 400 years of writing and scientific gatherings on the dodo.They concluded that the animal was probably not such an awkward bird after all.Written descriptions of live dodos suggested that the birds actually moved quickly.
The team also re-examined dodo fossils and remains and concluded that the bird had powerful tendons(肌腱) in its toes—just similar to modern birds that climb and run.This provided further evidence that the dodo was an active，speedy bird.“The birds were fast and，before being wiped out，had been doing their thing and doing it incredibly well for millions of years，” said Neil Gostling，an author of the recent study.
Scientists think dodos went extinct in the 1600s when Dutch sailors in Mauritius began hunting them.Dodos didn’t have predators on the island before that，so they weren’t afraid of humans and were easy to catch. This contributed to the idea that the birds were slow and not smart.However，scientists also know that sailors brought cats，dogs，and rats，which ate dodos’ chicks and damaged their habitat，helping to kill them off.
The research team’s work is just the beginning of a larger project aimed at finding out more about the ancient creature.“The mystery of the dodo bird is about to be cracked wide open，” said Markus Heler，another author of the study.
5.What was the traditional view of the dodo
A.It was a large and skilled flyer.
B.It was a clever and adaptable bird.
C.It moved slowly and appeared dull.
D.It shared habits with some modern birds.
√

A.By studying a copy of dodo fossils and relics.
B.By analyzing the creature’s genetic structure.
C.By looking through old records and collections.
D.By watching behaviors of similar modern species.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To address that，a research team looked through 400 years of writing and scientific gatherings on the dodo.”可知，研究人员通过查看旧记录和收藏来获得有关渡渡鸟的更多知识，故选C。
解析
7.What does the underlined word “predators” mean in paragraph 5
A.Friends. B.Hunters.
C.Neighbors. D.Competitors.
√
词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在句子“Dodos didn’t have predators on the island before that，so they weren’t afraid of humans and were easy to catch.”可知，在荷兰水手开始猎杀它们之前，因为岛上没有它们的捕猎者，所以渡渡鸟不惧怕人类，因而容易被捕捉，画线单词意为“捕猎者”，故选B。
解析
8.What is the next goal of the research team’s work
A.To better protect bird species.
B.To gain a deeper understanding of dodos.
C.To correct former research findings.
D.To uncover the secrets to dodos’ extinction.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The research team’s work is just the beginning of a larger project aimed at finding out more about the ancient creature.‘The mystery of the dodo bird is about to be cracked wide open，’said...”可推知，研究小组接下来的工作目标是更加深入了解渡渡鸟，故选B。
