课文三维剖析
A DAY IN THE CLOUDS
在云间度过的一天
The air is thin and1 we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that2 seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us3, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why4 we're here—to observe Tibetan antelopes. 1连接两个并列句 2引导定语从句,修饰限定先行词clouds 3介词短语作后置定语 4引导表语从句
由于空气稀薄,在离开营地的短途徒步旅行中,我们不得不多次休息。在我们的左方,白雪皑皑的群山消失在似乎触手可及的云层中。放眼平原,我们隐约看到一群体形优美的动物。这就是我们来到此地的原因——观察藏羚羊。
Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching5 them move slowly across the green grass6, I'm struck by their beauty. I'm also reminded of the danger they were in7. They were hunted, illegally, for their valuable fur. 藏羚羊生活在西藏、新疆和青海的平原上。看着它们(藏羚羊)缓缓穿过绿色的草地,我被其美丽所震撼,也想到了藏羚羊所处的险境。因其珍贵的羊毛,它们(藏羚羊)遭受非法猎杀。 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 and8 protecting the wildlife9 is a way of life. “We're not trying to save the animals10,” he says. “Actually, we're trying to save ourselves.” 5现在分词作伴随状语 6不带to的动词不定式短语作them的宾语补足语 7they are in是省略了that/which的定语从句,修饰限定先行词danger 8连接两个并列句 9动名词短语作主语 10不定式短语作trying的宾语
我的向导扎西是一位来自羌塘的村民。扎西在羌塘国家自然保护区工作。该保护区是西藏西北部动植物的庇护所。对扎西来说,这片土地是神圣的,保护野生动物是一种生活方式。“我们不是在试图拯救动物。”他说道,“事实上,我们是在努力拯救自己。”  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 profits11. Their habitats were becoming smaller as12 new roads and railways were built. 11动词不定式短语作目的状语 12引导时间状语从句
对藏羚羊来说,二十世纪八九十年代是一个悲惨的时代。藏羚羊数量减少了50%以上。猎人们为了谋利而射杀它们。随着新公路和铁路的修建,藏羚羊的栖息地也不断缩小。
In order to save13 this species from extinction, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep14 them safe15 from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily16 and keep them safe from cars and trains. 为了使这一物种免遭灭绝,中国政府将其置于国家保护之下。扎西和其他志愿者日夜看护着藏羚羊,保护它们免受攻击。新增的一些桥梁和涵洞,便于藏羚羊自由穿行,防止它们撞上汽车和火车。 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, however17, does not intend to stop the protection programmes18, since19 the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared. 13介词短语作目的状语,可置于句首或者句末 14动词不定式作目的状语 15形容词作宾语补足语 16动词不定式短语作目的状语 17表示转折,可置于句首、句中或者句末 18动词不定式短语作宾语 19引导原因状语从句
这些措施效果明显。藏羚羊数量已经恢复。2015年6月,藏羚羊从濒危物种名单中删除。然而,政府并没有打算停止这些保护项目,因为对藏羚羊的威胁依然存在。
In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and20 watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what21 Zhaxi told me. Much is being done12 to protect wildlife, but23 if24 we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature25 can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet. 夜晚时分,我喝着茶,仰望星空。心里想起藏羚羊以及扎西对我说的那番话。大量的工作正在进行中以保护野生动物,但是,如果真想拯救地球,就必须改变我们自己的生活方式。只有学会和大自然和谐共处,我们才不会成为野生生物和地球的威胁。 20连接并列谓语动词drink和watch 21引导宾语从句 22现在进行时的被动语态 23连接并列句 24引导条件状语从句 25“only+状语从句”位于句首,引起部分倒装

(2024·湖南省长沙市第一中学高一上期中)Last month, Koch went to make breakfast and found a(n) __1__ guest using his pool. A large moose (驼鹿) was swimming in the deep end, __2__ in the solar cover (太阳能覆盖膜).
“I looked out in the backyard and there's the moose absolutely scared and __3__,” Koch told The Dodo. “She stepped on the solar cover and put her __4__ through it and she was __5__ trying to get free.”
Koch has noticed more wildlife around his home in Ottawa, but he had __6__ seen an animal this impressive before. He rushed outside and __7__ the solar cover off the poor moose, who continued swimming around the pool, proving to be a __8__ skilled swimmer.
The wild moose seemed to be having trouble finding her way out of the pool, so Koch called the police and wildlife services to see if they could __9__ a hand. “She looked so pitifully sad out there that my wife said, ‘I want to give her a __10__.’”
Workers from wildlife services intended that they would get her to a safer spot, but they couldn't __11__ it until she was out of the water. “The __12__ thing that happened was that after 3.5 hours she climbed out of the shallow end and __13__ the fence,” Koch said.
The moose __14__ unhurt, but the same can't be said for Koch's pool—which now has two hoof sized (马蹄大小的) holes in the __15__.

(2024·河南省南阳市第一中学高一上月考)After my husband died, my world crashed around me. I was overwhelmed (淹没) by the responsibilities of earning a living and caring for my six children.
I was fortunate to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the kids during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings we were alone and frankly I was uneasy about it.
One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd (牧羊犬) on our doorstep. Where did this obviously well cared for dog come from Even though he seemed gentle, he was powerful. The children took an instant liking to “German” and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement until the next day. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks.
The following morning, we tried to find German's owner with no results. German, meanwhile, made himself part of the family, wrestling (摔跤) with the kids and playing in the yard. Saturday night he was still with us.
On Sunday I had planned to take the children to the park. I left German behind in case his owner came by. When we stopped at a gas station, we were amazed to see him running after us. No way was he going to be left behind. So he jumped into the car and settled down in the back. He stayed again Sunday night.
Monday morning, I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didn't come back. We thought we'd never see him again. We were wrong. On Friday evening, German was back again. We took him in, and again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived.
It went like this for almost 10 months. We grew to love German and look forward to his coming. When we saw him come to attention and perk up (竖起) his ears, and heard that low growl (咆哮) begin deep in his throat, we knew we were protected.
Each week, between German's visits, I grew a little braver on my own, but every weekend I enjoyed his company. Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back.
I still think of him often. He came when I needed him the most and stayed until I was strong enough to go on alone. I'll never forget him.

(2024·广东省汕头市金山中学高一上期末)Banff National Park is home to an amazing wildlife population. But the busy Trans Canada Highway that cuts through the park is a hazard to the lovely animals. To address the problem, Banff first put up wildlife fencing on either side of the highway to discourage animals from entering the busy road. Then, since 1996, they've opened six wildlife overpasses and 38 underpasses to help the animals cross the highway in safety.
I was fortunate to visit Banff's Red Earth Overpass with Trevor Kinley, the project manager with Parks Canada. He told me that so far, they have documented 10,000 safe animal crossings on this overpass alone. “Some animals have learned how to use the crossings much more quickly than others. Black bears are the fastest learners, followed by deer. Wolves and lions take the longest to work out how to use them,” Kinley said, laughing. “But those animals that are slower to adapt are usually more capable and determined at figuring out the safest way to cross those overpasses and underpasses.”
There is some criticism that channeling so much wildlife into a few bridges and tunnels is like making a trap for the animals, offering big animals an easy meal on either side. “But research has shown that this is not the case,” Kinley assured me. “There are no more killings around the crossings than there are anywhere else in the park.”
Walking over the Trans Canada and then walking underneath through one of the tunnels, I was amazed to see the fresh tracks of black bears, wolves, deer and many kinds of smaller animals. Somehow, all these animal footprints made me so delighted, knowing that all this wildlife was passing safely under and over the longest road in Canada.
Hopefully, the success of the wildlife crossings in Banff will continue to inspire similar solutions around the world, where human pressure on wildlife continues to grow.

(2024·重庆实验外国语学校高一上期末)Researchers in China have found a new, genetically (基因上) pure species of the critically endangered Chinese giant salamander (中国大鲵) in the wild. The new species was found in a largely undisturbed part of the Jiulingshan National Nature Reserve in Jiangxi Province. The animals are the only known genetically pure, reproducing giant salamander population in its natural habitat in the country. “The discovery of the new species in a closed nature reserve provides hope that other genetically pure species may still exist in other such places,” said Robert Murphy, a professor at the University of Toronto and one of the co authors of the study.
The Chinese giant salamander is believed to have remained almost unchanged for 170 million years. While Chinese giant salamanders used to be thought of as one species, recent studies have revealed that there are five to eight genetically distinct species in the country. However, the species are under great threat of extinction due to habitat loss, water pollution and overexploitation (过度开发) of wild populations over the past decades.
Chinese giant salamanders have been protected in China since the 1980s. “After the discovery of multiple species of Chinese giant salamanders, China quickly put into place several actions, such as providing additional funding for critical research, establishing a series of nature reserves for the species, and promoting cooperation between scientists and biologists,” Murphy said.
The researchers are now trying to track down more giant salamanders. Murphy said the discovery opened up new possibilities, such as establishing breeding farms with genetically pure salamanders to help populate ecosystems. In their paper, the researchers also stressed the importance of undisturbed habitats for protecting wildlife. “Closed nature reserves a new pathway for discovering and conserving endangered species,” they said.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的研究人员在野外发现了一种新的、基因纯净的极度濒危的中国大鲵。
1.Why is the new discovery by Chinese researchers important?(  )
A.It confirms the need for more independent studies on biodiversity.
B.It proves the genetic transformation of Chinese giant salamanders.
C.It suggests the importance of increasing funding for nature reserves.
D.It indicates the presence of other genetically pure species elsewhere.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The discovery ... in other such places”可知,中国的研究人员发现了中国大鲵之所以重要,是因为它表明在其他类似的地方可能存在其他基因纯正的物种。故选D。
2.What can be learned from Paragraph 2?(  )
A.Some species of Chinese giant salamanders have become extinct.
B.Chinese giant salamander numbers have declined in recent decades.
C.Chinese giant salamanders have remained unchanged for 170 million years.
D.Some breeding programs have been launched to protect Chinese giant salamanders.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, the species are under great threat ... over the past decades.(然而,在过去的几十年里,由于栖息地丧失、水污染和野生种群的过度开发,该物种面临着灭绝的威胁。)”可知,近几十年来,中国大鲵的数量有所下降。故选B。
3.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?(  )
A.China's lessons from the past.
B.China's cooperation with other countries.
C.China's efforts to protect giant salamanders.
D.China's ambition to develop new nature reserves.
答案:C
解析:段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知,本段主要讲述自20世纪80年代以来,中国大鲵就在中国受到保护,比如为关键研究提供额外的资金,为该物种建立一系列自然保护区,促进科学家和生物学家之间的合作,即中国为保护大鲵作出的努力。故选C。
4.What would the researchers most probably agree with according to the last paragraph?(  )
A.More closed nature reserves should be established.
B.Traditional conservation methods are more efficient.
C.Mixed breeding can be used to protect endangered species.
D.Large breeding farms are beneficial to the growth of giant salamanders.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Closed nature reserves a new pathway for discovering and conserving endangered species”可知,研究人员认为封闭的自然保护区为发现和保护濒危物种开辟了一条新途径,由此可推知,他们最可能同意建立更多的封闭式自然保护区。故选A。

(2024·安徽省宣城市高一上期末)Monkfish are low in calories and they are easy to cook. They can be cut into pieces, mixed with egg whites, cornflour and salt, and then put into boiling water for a few minutes. There is only one problem with monkfish: they are ugly. With their eyes sticking out and wide mouths full of sharp teeth, they are frightening.
In the Netherlands, fishermen who caught them used to throw them back. They are still usually sold without their heads, but the days of throwing them away are long gone. Japanese diners love the fatty liver; while Italians may still call them toad tails, that doesn't stop them from eating the fish. People have been encouraged to eat more monkfish, as well as other unattractive creatures—in order to ensure the biodiversity of the ocean environment.
There are more examples for sea animals going from “purposely avoided” to “willingly consumed”. In America, lobsters used to be fed to prisoners—a result of their abundance but also, no doubt, because they are difficult to eat and look frightening. Not until the late 19th century did they become fantastic dish. Today they are so desirable that Maine, where most American lobsters are caught, has the images of these creatures printed on many of its vehicles.
Sometimes fashion goes the other way. Turtles were plentiful in early America, but in the 19th century they became fashionable: few foods were more recommended than turtle soup. Americans ate some species of turtle nearly to extinction. Yet today turtle eating is more closely associated with remote and uncultured areas.
Among cooking choices, people prefer the rare and the beautiful one than the unattractive one. But such narrow minded food choices can have bad results: some species may not survive human preference for them. Better to stare into monkfish's eyes than to contribute to the permanent loss of a species.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章以安康鱼为例,说明人们对于海洋动物从“故意避免”变成“自愿食用”,这一做法是为了保护生物多样性。
5.How were monkfish treated in the Netherlands?(  )
A.They were abandoned by local fishermen.
B.They were popular due to their fatty livers.

D.They were considered a danger to the ecosystem.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the Netherlands, fishermen who caught them used to throw them back.”可知,在荷兰,安康鱼被当地渔民遗弃。故选A。
6.Why are lobsters mentioned in Paragraph 3?(  )
A.To stress its abundance in America.
B.To make a comparison with monkfish.
C.To prove prisoners used to be fed on seafood.
D.To show people's food habits keep changing.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,在美国,龙虾曾经被用来喂囚犯,因为它们很难吃,而且看起来很吓人。直到19世纪后期,它们才成为美味佳肴。由此可推知,第三段提到了龙虾是为了显示人们的饮食习惯在不断变化。故选D。
7.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?(  )
A.Turtle eating has been out of date now.
B.Turtles have completely disappeared in America.
C.Turtles were purposely avoided among food choices.
D.Turtle eating was against fashion in the 19th century.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Yet today turtle eating ... and uncultured areas. (然而,今天吃乌龟与偏远和未开垦的地区联系更紧密。)”可知,吃乌龟现在已经过时了。故选A。

(2024·云南省昭通市第一中学教研联盟高一上期末)A man called, asking if an owl (猫头鹰) could be rescued. Ellen Kalish was happy to help, who runs the Manhattan Wildlife Center in New York. She is used to getting calls about taking in wild animals. The caller told her where this tiny owl was hiding out. It was found inside the Christmas tree in the Rockefeller Center, where it is a yearly tradition to decorate trees. But this year, the tree looked a little worse. Many people made fun of its branches. They called the tree a “symbol of 2023”, meaning its sad look reminded them how tough the past year was.
The tale of the owl's rescue quickly became the highlight of this year's tree. Before the tree was put up to decorate, one of the workers caught sight of the creature. It was buried in the base of the tree. The owl most likely traveled with the tree on its journey to Manhattan. But there was no proof about where it came from and how it ended up stuck in this tree. Getting the little bird out from the base of the tree, the worker noticed that the creature got badly injured and seemed not to eat or drink anything for a few days. She was too weak to fly, but luckily she was still alive.
In that case, the worker had to bring the owl home. He named her Rocky as he spotted her in the Rockefeller Center. Considering he himself had no idea how to keep an owl, he decided to find a place that rescues wildlife animals. That was why he called the Center. After Kalish got the full story about the bird, she met the man at a gas station. Then the man handed her a box with the owl inside.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

Rocky didn't look that terrible as she was in the box a week before.                                                                                                                                                    
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。Ellen Kalish (艾伦·卡利什)是一家野生动物救助中心的创始人,一天她接到陌生电话询问是否可以救助一只受伤的猫头鹰。Kalish小心地接过装有猫头鹰的盒子,她会怎么做?一周之后,猫头鹰好多了,Kalish又会做些什么?
[精彩范文]
Kalish took the box carefully. She opened the box gently. The owl was standing in a cardboard box, looking straight at her. “I thought, this is a miracle! How did this bird survive this trip?” She named the owl Rockefeller, or “Rocky.” “She was super hungry,” she says, estimating that she probably had not been able to eat or drink for at least a few days. She immediately gave her water and food—a few frozen mice—which she ate quickly. A veterinarian examined her, and X rays showed that she had no broken bones or inner damage. By Thursday, Rocky started to bathe herself—a sign she was feeling good. An owl bath, Kalish says, leads to “water everywhere.”
Rocky didn't look that terrible as she was in the box a week before. On Friday, Kalish moved Rocky to an outdoor practice cage so she could get used to new circumstance and Kalish could monitor her flight. By Tuesday at dusk, she seemed ready to go. Kalish brought Rocky to a clearing of nearby forest, removed her from her carrier and raised her toward the sky. Rocky sat on Kalish's hand for several moments, surveying her surroundings. Then, she flew off, settling in a nearby pine tree.

(2024·山西省忻州市高一上期末)When you go on vacation next time, make sure to take lots of pictures of the wildlife you see. These photos can help save different types of wildlife because of a new field called “imageomics”. Imageomics uses computers to study pictures of wildlife and learn information from them.
Until recently, scientists didn't have the technology to analyze the data in wildlife photos. But now, machine learning and computer vision are helping researchers unlock valuable information hidden in these images.
There are platforms where people can share their wildlife photos, like eBird, iNaturalist and Wildbook. These platforms help scientists keep track of different species and create databases. If you have rare photos of wildlife, it's a good idea to share them on these platforms.
Scientists have limited time and resources to study all endangered wildlife in the world. By using artificial intelligence to analyze public photos, we can learn more about different species and their behaviors. This technology can even help us find things in photos that humans might miss.
It's important to use the collected information responsibly and protect it from poachers. If we do that, imageomics can not only help save wildlife but also contribute to other fields like medicine and agriculture.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个名为“imageomics”的领域,它可以通过分析野生动物的照片来发现宝贵的信息,从而保护野生动物。

(2024·河南省南阳市第一中学高一上月考)After my husband died, my world crashed around me. I was overwhelmed (淹没) by the responsibilities of earning a living and caring for my six children.
I was fortunate to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the kids during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings we were alone and frankly I was uneasy about it.
One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd (牧羊犬) on our doorstep. Where did this obviously well cared for dog come from Even though he seemed gentle, he was powerful. The children took an instant liking to “German” and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement until the next day. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks.
The following morning, we tried to find German's owner with no results. German, meanwhile, made himself part of the family, wrestling (摔跤) with the kids and playing in the yard. Saturday night he was still with us.
On Sunday I had planned to take the children to the park. I left German behind in case his owner came by. When we stopped at a gas station, we were amazed to see him running after us. No way was he going to be left behind. So he jumped into the car and settled down in the back. He stayed again Sunday night.
Monday morning, I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didn't come back. We thought we'd never see him again. We were wrong. On Friday evening, German was back again. We took him in, and again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived.
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一家和一只德国牧羊犬之间的感人故事。

It went like this for almost 10 months. We grew to love German and look forward to his coming. When we saw him come to attention and perk up (竖起) his ears, and heard that low growl (咆哮) begin deep in his throat, we knew we were protected.
Each week, between German's visits, I grew a little braver on my own, but every weekend I enjoyed his company. Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back.
I still think of him often. He came when I needed him the most and stayed until I was strong enough to go on alone. I'll never forget him.

(2024·广东省汕头市金山中学高一上期末)Banff National Park is home to an amazing wildlife population. But the busy Trans Canada Highway that cuts through the park is a hazard to the lovely animals. To address the problem, Banff first put up wildlife fencing on either side of the highway to discourage animals from entering the busy road. Then, since 1996, they've opened six wildlife overpasses and 38 underpasses to help the animals cross the highway in safety.
精深阅读
I was fortunate to visit Banff's Red Earth Overpass with Trevor Kinley, the project manager with Parks Canada. He told me that so far, they have documented 10,000 safe animal crossings on this overpass alone. “Some animals have learned how to use the crossings much more quickly than others. Black bears are the fastest learners, followed by deer. Wolves and lions take the longest to work out how to use them,” Kinley said, laughing. “But those animals that are slower to adapt are usually more capable and determined at figuring out the safest way to cross those overpasses and underpasses.”
There is some criticism that channeling so much wildlife into a few bridges and tunnels is like making a trap for the animals, offering big animals an easy meal on either side. “But research has shown that this is not the case,” Kinley assured me. “There are no more killings around the crossings than there are anywhere else in the park.”
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了班夫国家公园设立了野生动物立交桥和地下通道来帮助野生动物安全地穿过高速公路。
篇章导读
Walking over the Trans Canada and then walking underneath through one of the tunnels, I was amazed to see the fresh tracks of black bears, wolves, deer and many kinds of smaller animals. Somehow, all these animal footprints made me so delighted, knowing that all this wildlife was passing safely under and over the longest road in Canada.
Hopefully, the success of the wildlife crossings in Banff will continue to inspire similar solutions around the world, where human pressure on wildlife continues to grow.
1.Which of the following best explains “hazard” underlined in Paragraph 1
A.Shelter. B.Habitat.
C.Access. D.Danger.
解析:词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“To address the problem ... in safety.(为了解决这个问题,班夫国家公园首先在高速公路两侧设置了野生动物围栏,以阻止动物进入繁忙的道路。然后,自1996年以来,他们开通了6个野生动物立交桥和38个地下通道来帮助动物安全地穿过高速公路。)”可推知,穿过这条繁忙的公路对这些动物来说是一个危险。画线词hazard意为“危险”,与danger同义。故选D。
答案
解析
2.What does Trevor Kinley say about those wolves and lions
A.They are stupid animals. B.They are cautious learners.
C.They are very dangerous. D.They are good at adapting.

(2024·重庆实验外国语学校高一上期末)Researchers in China have found a new, genetically (基因上) pure species of the critically endangered Chinese giant salamander (中国大鲵) in the wild. The new species was found in a largely undisturbed part of the Jiulingshan National Nature Reserve in Jiangxi Province. The animals are the only known genetically pure, reproducing giant salamander population in its natural habitat in the country. “The discovery of the new species in a closed nature reserve provides hope that other genetically pure species may still exist in other such places,” said Robert Murphy, a professor at the University of Toronto and one of the co authors of the study.
The Chinese giant salamander is believed to have remained almost unchanged for 170 million years. While Chinese giant salamanders used to be thought of as one species, recent studies have revealed that there are five to eight genetically distinct species in the country. However, the species are under great threat of extinction due to habitat loss, water pollution and overexploitation (过度开发) of wild populations over the past decades.
Chinese giant salamanders have been protected in China since the 1980s. “After the discovery of multiple species of Chinese giant salamanders, China quickly put into place several actions, such as providing additional funding for critical research, establishing a series of nature reserves for the species, and promoting cooperation between scientists and biologists,” Murphy said.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的研究人员在野外发现了一种新的、基因纯净的极度濒危的中国大鲵。
篇章导读
The researchers are now trying to track down more giant salamanders. Murphy said the discovery opened up new possibilities, such as establishing breeding farms with genetically pure salamanders to help populate ecosystems. In their paper, the researchers also stressed the importance of undisturbed habitats for protecting wildlife. “Closed nature reserves a new pathway for discovering and conserving endangered species,” they said.
1.Why is the new discovery by Chinese researchers important?(  )
A.It confirms the need for more independent studies on biodiversity.
B.It proves the genetic transformation of Chinese giant salamanders.
C.It suggests the importance of increasing funding for nature reserves.
D.It indicates the presence of other genetically pure species elsewhere.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The discovery ... in other such places”可知,中国的研究人员发现了中国大鲵之所以重要,是因为它表明在其他类似的地方可能存在其他基因纯正的物种。故选D。
答案
解析
2.What can be learned from Paragraph 2?(  )
A.Some species of Chinese giant salamanders have become extinct.
B.Chinese giant salamander numbers have declined in recent decades.
C.Chinese giant salamanders have remained unchanged for 170 million years.
D.Some breeding programs have been launched to protect Chinese giant salamanders.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, the species are under great threat ... over the past decades.(然而,在过去的几十年里,由于栖息地丧失、水污染和野生种群的过度开发,该物种面临着灭绝的威胁。)”可知,近几十年来,中国大鲵的数量有所下降。故选B。
答案
解析
3.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?(  )
A.China's lessons from the past.
B.China's cooperation with other countries.
C.China's efforts to protect giant salamanders.
D.China's ambition to develop new nature reserves.
解析:段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知,本段主要讲述自20世纪80年代以来,中国大鲵就在中国受到保护,比如为关键研究提供额外的资金,为该物种建立一系列自然保护区,促进科学家和生物学家之间的合作,即中国为保护大鲵作出的努力。故选C。
答案
解析
4.What would the researchers most probably agree with according to the last paragraph?(  )
A.More closed nature reserves should be established.
B.Traditional conservation methods are more efficient.
C.Mixed breeding can be used to protect endangered species.
D.Large breeding farms are beneficial to the growth of giant salamanders.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Closed nature reserves a new pathway for discovering and conserving endangered species”可知,研究人员认为封闭的自然保护区为发现和保护濒危物种开辟了一条新途径,由此可推知,他们最可能同意建立更多的封闭式自然保护区。故选A。
答案
解析
B
(2024·安徽省宣城市高一上期末)Monkfish are low in calories and they are easy to cook. They can be cut into pieces, mixed with egg whites, cornflour and salt, and then put into boiling water for a few minutes. There is only one problem with monkfish: they are ugly. With their eyes sticking out and wide mouths full of sharp teeth, they are frightening.
In the Netherlands, fishermen who caught them used to throw them back. They are still usually sold without their heads, but the days of throwing them away are long gone. Japanese diners love the fatty liver; while Italians may still call them toad tails, that doesn't stop them from eating the fish. People have been encouraged to eat more monkfish, as well as other unattractive creatures—in order to ensure the biodiversity of the ocean environment.
There are more examples for sea animals going from “purposely avoided” to “willingly consumed”. In America, lobsters used to be fed to prisoners—a result of their abundance but also, no doubt, because they are difficult to eat and look frightening. Not until the late 19th century did they become fantastic dish. Today they are so desirable that Maine, where most American lobsters are caught, has the images of these creatures printed on many of its vehicles.
Sometimes fashion goes the other way. Turtles were plentiful in early America, but in the 19th century they became fashionable: few foods were more recommended than turtle soup. Americans ate some species of turtle nearly to extinction. Yet today turtle eating is more closely associated with remote and uncultured areas.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章以安康鱼为例,说明人们对于海洋动物从“故意避免”变成“自愿食用”,这一做法是为了保护生物多样性。
篇章导读
Among cooking choices, people prefer the rare and the beautiful one than the unattractive one. But such narrow minded food choices can have bad results: some species may not survive human preference for them. Better to stare into monkfish's eyes than to contribute to the permanent loss of a species.
5.How were monkfish treated in the Netherlands?(  )
A.They were abandoned by local fishermen.
B.They were popular due to their fatty livers.
C.They were called toad tails from time to time.
D.They were considered a danger to the ecosystem.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the Netherlands, fishermen who caught them used to throw them back.”可知,在荷兰,安康鱼被当地渔民遗弃。故选A。
答案
解析
6.Why are lobsters mentioned in Paragraph 3?(  )
A.To stress its abundance in America.
B.To make a comparison with monkfish.
C.To prove prisoners used to be fed on seafood.
D.To show people's food habits keep changing.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,在美国,龙虾曾经被用来喂囚犯,因为它们很难吃,而且看起来很吓人。直到19世纪后期,它们才成为美味佳肴。由此可推知,第三段提到了龙虾是为了显示人们的饮食习惯在不断变化。故 选D。
答案
解析
7.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?(  )
A.Turtle eating has been out of date now.
B.Turtles have completely disappeared in America.
C.Turtles were purposely avoided among food choices.
D.Turtle eating was against fashion in the 19th century.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Yet today turtle eating ... and uncultured areas. (然而,今天吃乌龟与偏远和未开垦的地区联系更紧密。)”可知,吃乌龟现在已经过时了。故选A。
答案
解析
8.What is the main purpose of this text?(  )
A.To introduce rare undersea wildlife.
B.To encourage people to eat seafood.
C.To explain why people dislike monkfish.
D.To call for the protection of biodiversity.
解析:推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章以安康鱼为例,说明人们对于海洋动物从“故意避免”变成“自愿食用”,这一做法是为了保护生物多样性。由此可推知,这篇文章的主要目的是呼吁保护生物多样性。故选D。

She is used to getting calls about taking in wild animals. The caller told her where this tiny owl was hiding out. It was found inside the Christmas tree in the Rockefeller Center, where it is a yearly tradition to decorate trees. But this year, the tree looked a little worse. Many people made fun of its branches. They called the tree a “symbol of 2023”, meaning its sad look reminded them how tough the past year was.
The tale of the owl's rescue quickly became the highlight of this year's tree. Before the tree was put up to decorate, one of the workers caught sight of the creature. It was buried in the base of the tree. The owl most likely traveled with the tree on its journey to Manhattan. But there was no proof about where it came from and how it ended up stuck in this tree. Getting the little bird out from the base of the tree, the worker noticed that the creature got badly injured and seemed not to eat or drink anything for a few days. She was too weak to fly, but luckily she was still alive.
In that case, the worker had to bring the owl home. He named her Rocky as he spotted her in the Rockefeller Center. Considering he himself had no idea how to keep an owl, he decided to find a place that rescues wildlife animals. That was why he called the Center. After Kalish got the full story about the bird, she met the man at a gas station. Then the man handed her a box with the owl inside.
Kalish took the box carefully. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍

[精彩范文]
Kalish took the box carefully. She opened the box gently. The owl was standing in a cardboard box, looking straight at her. “I thought, this is a miracle! How did this bird survive this trip?” She named the owl Rockefeller, or “Rocky.” “She was super hungry,” she says, estimating that she probably had not been able to eat or drink for at least a few days. She immediately gave her water and food—a few frozen mice—which she ate quickly. A veterinarian examined her, and X rays showed that she had no broken bones or inner damage. By Thursday, Rocky started to bathe herself—a sign she was feeling good. An owl bath, Kalish says, leads to “water everywhere.”
答案
Rocky didn't look that terrible as she was in the box a week before. On Friday, Kalish moved Rocky to an outdoor practice cage so she could get used to new circumstance and Kalish could monitor her flight. By Tuesday at dusk, she seemed ready to go. Kalish brought Rocky to a clearing of nearby forest, removed her from her carrier and raised her toward the sky. Rocky sat on Kalish's hand for several moments, surveying her surroundings. Then, she flew off, settling in a nearby pine tree.

(2024·山西省忻州市高一上期末)When you go on vacation next time, make sure to take lots of pictures of the wildlife you see. These photos can help save different types of wildlife because of a new field called “imageomics”. Imageomics uses computers to study pictures of wildlife and learn information from them.
Until recently, scientists didn't have the technology to analyze the data in wildlife photos. But now, machine learning and computer vision are helping researchers unlock valuable information hidden in these images.
There are platforms where people can share their wildlife photos, like eBird, iNaturalist and Wildbook. These platforms help scientists keep track of different species and create databases. If you have rare photos of wildlife, it's a good idea to share them on these platforms.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个名为“imageomics”的领域,它可以通过分析野生动物的照片来发现宝贵的信息,从而保护野生动物。
篇章导读
Scientists have limited time and resources to study all endangered wildlife in the world. By using artificial intelligence to analyze public photos, we can learn more about different species and their behaviors. This technology can even help us find things in photos that humans might miss.
It's important to use the collected information responsibly and protect it from poachers. If we do that, imageomics can not only help save wildlife but also contribute to other fields like medicine and agriculture.
1.How can imageomics help scientists study wildlife
A.By offering information from wildlife.
B.By analyzing the data in wildlife photos.
C.By analyzing the trend of human population.
D.By knowing the origin of biological processes.
