Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕北方秃头鹮这一濒危物种展开,讲述了它几近灭绝后在科学家和环境保护主义者团队的帮助下恢复种群数量、学习迁徙路线、进行迁徙以及应对气候变化开辟新路线等一系列故事。
1.B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But the birds don’t know which direction to fly to migrate(迁徙) without wild-born elders leading the way. So a team of scientists and conservationists took on the role of parents and flight instructors.”可知,北方秃头鹮在迁徙过程中面临的主要挑战是没有引导。故选B项。
2.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To prepare them for travel, the chicks are taken away, when they are just a few days old, to their human parents in the hope of ‘imprinting’—when the birds will bond with those humans to finally trust them along the migration route.”可知,在雏鸟出生仅几天时就将它们带走是希望能形成 “印随效应”,让这些鸟与人类建立亲密关系,从而在迁徙途中信任人类。故选C项。
3.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Then the human parents sit on the back of a super light aircraft, waving and shouting words of support as it flies through the air.”可知,人类 “父母” 会坐在超轻型飞机的后座上,在飞机飞行过程中挥手并大声喊着鼓励的话语,这么做的目的是鼓励鸟儿们跟随飞机飞行,从而引导它们认识迁徙路线。故选C项。
4.A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But Fritz says, ‘The effort is bigger than just the Northern Bald Ibises. It’s about paving the way for other threatened migratory species to fly.’”可知,这些话强调了他们所做的努力不仅仅关乎北方秃头鹮这一物种,更为其他受到威胁的迁徙物种的飞行铺平道路,意在表明他们保护北方秃头鹮这种行为的意义和价值,也就是凸显整个保护工作的价值所在。故选A项。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了黑脉金斑蝶的迁徙及人类活动是导致其数量下降的主要原因,向读者揭示了人与自然和谐共处的意义。
1.C 根据前文“This annual movement is called migration.”和后文“One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly.”可知,前文对迁徙做出了解释,后文进一步提到了黑脉金斑蝶的迁徙,C项“它们迁徙是为了寻找食物、寻找伴侣或者寻找温暖的天气。”符合语境,进一步解释迁徙。故选C项。
2.A 上文“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.”提到每年秋天这些蝴蝶开始漫长又艰难的旅行,A项“然而直到最近,没有人知道它们是如何做到这一点的。”对前文蝴蝶如何漫长地迁徙做出了解释,这一行为至今无人了解,承接了上文。故选A项。
3.B 根据空后“It uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun. These two pieces of information—the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky—allow the butterfly to determine the way to go.”可知,后文提到了蝴蝶如何知道每天的时间和路程的方向。B项“他们发现黑脉金斑蝶能够辨别一天中的时间。”照应下文the time of day,故选B项。
4.F 空后“Its population has crashed by as much as 90 percent in the last few years.”说明在过去的几年里,它的数量减少了90%。F项“解开黑脉金斑蝶惊人能力之谜的方法出现在它陷入严重麻烦的时候。”符合语境,空后是对in serious trouble的解释,故选F项。
5.E 空后“People have been working together to record its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on.”说明了人类为保护黑脉金斑蝶而采取的措施,E项“然而,对黑脉金斑蝶行为的研究使人们对这种生物有了更好的认识。”符合语境,引出下文,故选E项。
Ⅶ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了西伯利亚虎的基本特征、生活习性、生存现状以及对它的保护措施,旨在提高人们对这一濒危物种的认识和保护意识。
1.better 考查形容词比较级。根据空后的than可知,空处应用形容词的比较级形式better。故填better。
2.with 考查介词。固定搭配(be) combined with意为“与……结合”,符合句意。故填with。
3.a 考查冠词。修饰可数名词单数形式,且unique是以辅音音素开头的单词,前边用不定冠词a。故填a。
4.themselves 考查代词。空处为代词,且与主语一致,用反身代词themselves。故填themselves。
5.endangered 考查形容词。空处为形容词形式,修饰空后的名词,意为“濒危的”,应用endangered。故填endangered。
6.Countries 考查名词复数。空处为名词形式,担当主语,根据like Russia and China可推测,空处为名词的复数形式,置于句首,首字母大写。故填Countries。
7.to hunt 考查非谓语动词。空处为非谓语动词担当宾语,it作形式宾语,空处应用动词不定式形式作真正的宾语。故填to hunt。
8.is 考查动词时态和主谓一致。根据nowadays可知,本句时态为一般现在时;“the number of+复数名词”作主语,谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式,be动词使用is。故填is。
9.where 考查定语从句。空处为定语从句的关系词,先行词为the forests,在定语从句中担当地点状语,用关系副词where引导。故填where。
10.making 考查非谓语动词。空处为非谓语动词作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,用现在分词形式。故填making。Period Two Reading and Thinking

[2025·广东揭阳一中高一期末]
The distinctive Northern Bald Ibis (秃头鹮), hunted nearly to extinction by the 17th century, was brought back by raising and rewilding efforts over the last two decades. But the birds don’t know which direction to fly to migrate (迁徙) without wild-born elders leading the way. So a team of scientists and conservationists took on the role of parents and flight instructors.
Biologist Johannes Fritz and the Waldrapp team, an Austrian conservation group, have been teaching the birds their migration paths. Since 2002, they’ve increased the Central European population from zero to nearly 300 birds, changing the species’ status from “critically endangered” to “endangered”.
To prepare them for travel, the chicks are taken away, when they are just a few days old, to their human parents in the hope of “imprinting”—when the birds will bond with those humans to finally trust them along the migration route. Then the human parents sit on the back of a super light aircraft, waving and shouting words of support as it flies through the air.
It’s an odd scene: the aircraft looks like a flying car with a huge fan on the back and a yellow parachute keeping it in the air. Still, three dozen birds follow it sailing over the Alps.
Fritz, inspired by “Father Goose” Bill Lishman, who taught geese to fly alongside his ultralight plane, leads the birds on their migration.
The first successful independent migration was in 2011, and more birds have followed the 550-kilometre route each year. The team hopes to have over 350 birds by 2028, making the population self-sustaining. However, climate change has affected their migration. In response, the team piloted a new route to southern Spain in 2023, which is longer and more challenging.
The entire journey to Spain could take up to 50 days and end in early October. But Fritz says, “The effort is bigger than just the Northern Bald Ibises. It’s about paving the way for other threatened migratory species to fly.”
( )1.What is the major challenge faced by the Northern Bald Ibises during their migration
A.Long distances.
B.Absence of guidance.
C.Human hunting.
D.Limited resting spots.
( )2.Why are the birds taken away when they are just a few days old
A.To improve their flying skills.
B.To show them the migration route.
C.To build an emotional tie with humans.
D.To test their independence from their parents.
( )3.What do the research team do during their flight
A.They shout like elder birds.
B.They try new migratory routes.
C.They encourage the birds to follow.
D.They use an airplane to find the way.
( )4.What are Fritz’s words in the last paragraph mainly about
A.The worth of the conservation effort.
B.The role of technology in the research.
C.The need to help other migratory species.
D.The promising future of wildlife migration.

[2025·武汉市部分重点中学高一期末联考]
Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year. This annual movement is called migration. 1. One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly.
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. 2.
A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Shlizerman at the University of Washington has now found the answer. 3. It uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun. These two pieces of information—the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky—allow the butterfly to determine the way to go. Eventually, it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
4. Its population has crashed by as much as 90 percent in the last few years. Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling. In many of the places where the butterfly can be found, people are destroying the natural environment. They cut down trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars (毛虫) eat.
5. People have been working together to record its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on. If this works, there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies increases once again. 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.
A.However, until recently no one knew how they did this.
B.They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day.
C.They migrate to find food, seek a partner, or search for warmer weather.
D.In recent years it has become ever more apparent that monarch butterflies are in rapid decline.
E.The research on the monarch’s behaviour has however led to a greater awareness of this creature.
F.The solution to the mystery of the monarch’s amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble.
G.The entire journey happens in a few weeks as monarchs flock to the sky for their unbelievable migration.

［2025·广东揭阳一中高一期末］
The distinctive Northern Bald Ibis (秃头鹮), hunted nearly to
extinction by the 17th century, was brought back by raising and
rewilding efforts over the last two decades. But the birds don't
know which direction to fly to migrate (迁徙) without wild-born
elders leading the way. So a team of scientists and
conservationists took on the role of parents and flight instructors.

Biologist Johannes Fritz and the Waldrapp team, an Austrian
conservation group, have been teaching the birds their migration
paths. Since 2002, they've increased the Central European
population from zero to nearly 300 birds, changing the species'
status from “critically endangered” to “endangered”.
To prepare them for travel, the chicks are taken away,
when they are just a few days old, to their human parents in
the hope of “imprinting”—when the birds will bond with those
humans to finally trust them along the migration route.

Then the human parents sit on the back of a super light aircraft,
waving and shouting words of support as it flies through the air.
It's an odd scene: the aircraft looks like a flying car with a
huge fan on the back and a yellow parachute keeping it in the
air. Still, three dozen birds follow it sailing over the Alps.
Fritz, inspired by “Father Goose” Bill Lishman, who taught
geese to fly alongside his ultralight plane, leads the birds on
their migration.

The first successful independent migration was in 2011, and
more birds have followed the 550-kilometre route each year.
The team hopes to have over 350 birds by 2028, making the
population self-sustaining. However, climate change has affected
their migration. In response, the team piloted a new route to
southern Spain in 2023, which is longer and more challenging.
The entire journey to Spain could take up to 50 days and
end in early October. But Fritz says, “The effort is bigger than
just the Northern Bald Ibises. It's about paving the way for
other threatened migratory species to fly.”

and find their way to California or Mexico. 2.___
A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Shlizerman at the
University of Washington has now found the answer. 3.___ It
uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun. These two
pieces of information—the time of day and the point where the
sun is in the sky—allow the butterfly to determine the way to
go. Eventually, it manages to reach the places where it will
spend the winter.

in the last few years. Sadly, human activity is the main reason
why the number of monarch butterflies is falling. In many of the
places where the butterfly can be found, people are destroying
the natural environment. They cut down trees and use chemicals
that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars (毛虫) eat.
