The Ming Dynasty desired to strengthen the bonds with some Western countries and between 1405 and 1433，seven large fleets under the command of Zheng He 1.set sail from the South China Sea.They sailed across the Indian Ocean to the east coast of Africa，along the marine 2.channels which had been extended by the former merchants and explorers.They took gold，silk and spices to the African royal families and negotiated trade deals with them.Meanwhile，with advanced weapons in hand，they had 3.mercy on rather than exploited，murdered or arrested the people in other countries, who in turn 4.applauded them.They also logged many tales that had happened along the way.Although China 5.withdrew from further expeditions after 1433，these fleets were a sight 6.to behold and were in a league of their own at that time.
To reach out across the sea remains a strong desire today.The ancient sea routes travelled by Zheng He are being revisited with the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共20分)
(2024·河北部分地区高三联考)
Edward Ndiritu joined Lewa Wildlife Reserve in central Kenya in 1996 as a rhino monitor. Back then, illegal hunting had greatly reduced the country's black rhino population. Worried that they might become extinct, he worked his way up to lead Lewa's anti hunting team. In 2015, his team's community focused conservation method won him the first Wildlife Ranger Award from conservation charity Tusk.
He grew up in a village between Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Forest, which was once a wildlife route for migrating elephants and black rhinos. He saw them disappear gradually. He realized that hunting and the disruptive actions of the community were the reasons. The demand for rhino horn (角), which is very valuable in Asia, drives hunters. They are part of a big and rich crime network. There are people who help them by giving them equipment. In 2011 and 2012, Lewa had many difficulties. They lost rhinos. It was found that those involved in hunting were also linked to human smuggling (走私) and other illegal activities.
The hunting challenge has changed. Hunters now have networks, get information from the local community, and use technology like phones and motorbikes. Edward's team has adapted by using cameras, sensors, trackers, and a system that tells them when and where hunting might happen. They also work closely with the community, which is now the first line of defense. Lewa gives agricultural training, medical help, and business support to rural women. This makes locals more likely to report hunting before it happens.
To be a good forest guard, one needs to be honest, tough, and motivated. Edward now knows that making sure the forest guards are happy and well is very important. He is hopeful about wildlife conservation in Lewa. Funding is a problem, but organizations like Tusk are helping. Conservation is about people. Looking after those outside the reserve is necessary for the future of wildlife. Only when communities can live in harmony with the animals they see every day will there be a good future for wildlife.

(2025·福建福州一中高三月考)
Conservation scientist Kim Williams Guillen was trying her best to come up with a way to save endangered sea turtles (海龟) from egg thieves when she had an “aha” moment: If she placed a fake (假的) egg containing a GPS tracker in the reptiles' nests, she might be able to track the thieves.
Williams Guillen found a flexible plastic material to mimic (仿造) the shell of real eggs. She and colleagues then used a 3D printer to produce the fakes of the same size, weight, and texture and put the smallest GPS tracking devices inside each. The researchers then went to four Costa Rican beaches, where green sea turtles come ashore to make their nests. As mothers laid their eggs under cover of night, the researchers slipped a fake egg into each nest. Once the fakes are covered in sand and mixed with the real eggs, it's very difficult to tell the difference between the two.
Of the 101 fake eggs, 25 were taken by thieves. The farthest moving egg traveled 137 kilometers inland. The fake egg sent its final signal the next day from a residential property, suggesting that the research team had tracked the eggs through“all of the players in the entire chain”．
By understanding that chain, Williams Guillen says researchers can identify trading hot spots. She emphasizes that the tracker is not a way to catch local thieves, many of them living in poverty, but a tool to better understand their routes, which could help them and eventually law enforcement (执法部门) identify larger players in the chain.
In the meantime, Williams Guillen and her colleagues are working to get their fake eggs to other sea turtle conservation organizations. Ultimately, though, scientists and nonprofits are going to engage communities with local outreach and education programs to save sea turtles. She says，“The real meat and potatoes of conservation isn't going to come from deploying (部署) eggs.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自然保护科学家们为了想办法从偷蛋贼手中拯救濒危的海龟，在海龟的巢穴里放一个装有GPS追踪器的假蛋，从而追踪到偷盗海龟蛋的产业链。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共20分)
(2024·河北部分地区高三联考)
Edward Ndiritu joined Lewa Wildlife Reserve in central Kenya in 1996 as a rhino monitor. Back then, illegal hunting had greatly reduced the country's black rhino population. Worried that they might become extinct, he worked his way up to lead Lewa's anti hunting team. In 2015, his team's community focused conservation method won him the first Wildlife Ranger Award from conservation charity Tusk.
He grew up in a village between Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Forest, which was once a wildlife route for migrating elephants and black rhinos. He saw them disappear gradually. He realized that hunting and the disruptive actions of the community were the reasons. The demand for rhino horn (角), which is very valuable in Asia, drives hunters. They are part of a big and rich crime network. There are people who help them by giving them equipment. In 2011 and 2012, Lewa had many difficulties. They lost rhinos. It was found that those involved in hunting were also linked to human smuggling (走私) and other illegal activities.
The hunting challenge has changed. Hunters now have networks, get information from the local community, and use technology like phones and motorbikes. Edward's team has adapted by using cameras, sensors, trackers, and a system that tells them when and where hunting might happen. They also work closely with the community, which is now the first line of defense. Lewa gives agricultural training, medical help, and business support to rural women. This makes locals more likely to report hunting before it happens.
To be a good forest guard, one needs to be honest, tough, and motivated. Edward now knows that making sure the forest guards are happy and well is very important. He is hopeful about wildlife conservation in Lewa. Funding is a problem, but organizations like Tusk are helping. Conservation is about people. Looking after those outside the reserve is necessary for the future of wildlife. Only when communities can live in harmony with the animals they see every day will there be a good future for wildlife.

(2025·福建福州一中高三月考)
Conservation scientist Kim Williams Guillen was trying her best to come up with a way to save endangered sea turtles (海龟) from egg thieves when she had an “aha” moment: If she placed a fake (假的) egg containing a GPS tracker in the reptiles' nests, she might be able to track the thieves.
Williams Guillen found a flexible plastic material to mimic (仿造) the shell of real eggs. She and colleagues then used a 3D printer to produce the fakes of the same size, weight, and texture and put the smallest GPS tracking devices inside each. The researchers then went to four Costa Rican beaches, where green sea turtles come ashore to make their nests. As mothers laid their eggs under cover of night, the researchers slipped a fake egg into each nest. Once the fakes are covered in sand and mixed with the real eggs, it's very difficult to tell the difference between the two.
Of the 101 fake eggs, 25 were taken by thieves. The farthest moving egg traveled 137 kilometers inland. The fake egg sent its final signal the next day from a residential property, suggesting that the research team had tracked the eggs through“all of the players in the entire chain”．
By understanding that chain, Williams Guillen says researchers can identify trading hot spots. She emphasizes that the tracker is not a way to catch local thieves, many of them living in poverty, but a tool to better understand their routes, which could help them and eventually law enforcement (执法部门) identify larger players in the chain.
In the meantime, Williams Guillen and her colleagues are working to get their fake eggs to other sea turtle conservation organizations. Ultimately, though, scientists and nonprofits are going to engage communities with local outreach and education programs to save sea turtles. She says，“The real meat and potatoes of conservation isn't going to come from deploying (部署) eggs.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自然保护科学家们为了想办法从偷蛋贼手中拯救濒危的海龟，在海龟的巢穴里放一个装有GPS追踪器的假蛋，从而追踪到偷盗海龟蛋的产业链。

A．Fake eggs are made and employed.
B．Sea turtles have become endangered.
C．Sea turtles lay eggs during the daytime.
D．The idea of fake eggs came into being.
解析：细节理解题。由第二段中“Williams－Guillen found a…The researchers then went to four Costa Rican beaches, where green sea turtles come ashore to make their nests. As mothers laid their eggs under cover of night, the researchers slipped a fake egg into each nest.”可知，研究人员制作了假海龟蛋，并将假海龟蛋放到了海龟巢中。故选A项。

6．Why did researchers track the turtle eggs？( )
A．To confirm whether the fake eggs really work.
B．To provide data for doing research on turtle eggs.
C．To arrest the locals stealing the turtle eggs from the beach.
D．To identify the trading routes and get the big players punished.
解析：细节理解题。由第四段中“She emphasizes that…which could help them and eventually law enforcement (执法部门) identify larger players in the chain.”可知，研究人员追踪海龟蛋的去向是为了确定交易路线和抓到最大的幕后参与者。故选D项。
D
7．What do Williams Guillen's words mean in the last paragraph？( )
A．Deploying eggs needs advocating further.
B．Turtle conservation mainly relies on joint efforts.
C．She feels disappointed with the local communities.
D.Deploying eggs makes no difference in preserving turtles.
解析：推理判断题。由最后一段第二句可知，最终科学家和非营利组织将让社区参与当地的推广和教育项目，以拯救海龟。由此可推知，她认为拯救海龟需要共同的努力。故选B项。
B
8．Which of the following can be the best title of the text？( )
A．Saving endangered sea turtles is urgent
B．Endangered turtles can be traced with GPS
C．GPS eggs help to save endangered sea turtles
D．A conservation scientist is devoted to protecting sea turtles
