Ⅲ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家的一项研究:野生动物其实更害怕人类的声音。
1.C 推理判断题。根据第二段的“But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher(偷猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.”可知,不管你是什么类型的人——观看野生动物的游客、偷猎者或其他什么人,在野生动物眼里,你都是一样的——人类的存在对它们来说都是一样的危险,因此可以推断出,人类曾经伤害过动物们,给它们带来过危险,所以它们才会非常害怕人类。故选C。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 metres away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world.”可知,南非大克鲁格国家公园是世界上现存狮子数量最多的地方之一,即那里有很多的狮子。故选A。
3.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape.”可知,他们发现除了狮子之外,野生动物对人类声音的反应比对其他任何声音的反应都要快。故选C。
4.D 段落大意题。根据最后一段内容“The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological(生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms.”可知,这些发现强调了我们的存在可能会产生重大的破坏性的生态后果;同时,这些发现也可能带来积极的结果——人类的声音可能会阻止野生动物进入农田或农场,即最后一段讲述的是人类的声音所带来的影响和可能的应用。故选D。
Ⅳ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了鲨鱼其实对人类是没有危险的,呼吁人们保护它们。
1.D 根据前一句“Many people believe sharks are dangerous and will always try to hurt or even kill humans.”(许多人认为鲨鱼是危险的,总是试图伤害甚至杀死人类。)可知,空处要告诉我们关于鲨鱼的一个事实,选项D“In fact, 94 percent of the world’s 400 species are harmless to humans.”(事实上,世界上400个物种中有94%对人类无害。)承接前一句,符合语境。故选D。
2.G 根据前文“Most people fail to realize that shark attacks don’t happen very often. Humans are more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark.”(大多数人没有意识到鲨鱼袭击并不经常发生。人类被闪电杀死的可能性比被鲨鱼杀死的可能性大。)可知,空处应谈论如何让人们理解这个事实,选项G“And to make this point clear, the museum has set up a special touching pool for children.”(为了明确这一点,博物馆专门为孩子们设立了一个触摸池。)承上启下,符合语境,下一句中的they指代选项G中的children。故选G。
3.A 根据空后“A study, published in January in the US magazine Science, found that almost all recorded shark species have fallen by half in the past eight to fifteen years.”(美国《科学》杂志1月发表的一项研究发现,几乎所有记录在案的鲨鱼种类在过去8至15年里都减少了一半。)可知,空处介绍的是研究数据,选项A“A shocking 100 million sharks are killed every year by humans around the world.”(全世界每年有1亿条鲨鱼被人类捕杀,这一数字令人震惊。)与后文内容描述一致。故选A。
4.B 根据空前“Thousands of sharks are hunted in Asia for special foods, such as shark fin soup.”(在亚洲,成千上万的鲨鱼作为特殊食物被捕杀,比如鱼翅汤。)可知,空处谈论的是鲨鱼被捕杀的情况,选项B“And many others get caught in nets, while fishermen are hunting other fish.”(还有很多鲨鱼在渔夫捕其他鱼时被渔网捕获。)承接上文,符合语境。空前的are hunted呼应选项B中的get caught in nets。故选B。
5.F 根据空前“The fishermen threw them away like rubbish.”(渔夫把鲨鱼像垃圾一样扔了。)可知,空处是呼吁人们采取行动保护鲨鱼,选项F“It is a worrying situation and some areas have put measures in place to protect these species of fish.”(这是一个令人担忧的情况,一些地区已经采取措施来保护这些鱼类物种。)承接前一句,符合语境。选项F中的it指代的是“渔夫把鲨鱼像垃圾一样扔了”。故选F。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者自童年起便对自然满怀热爱,后来通过参与志愿者工作投身野生动物保护的经历,强调了保护自然所承载的责任感与荣誉感。
1.D 根据后文“Since then my love for animals has deepened.”可知,作者对动物的热爱加深了,这里表示作者对观察动物及其冒险经历产生了浓厚的兴趣。故选D。 confused困惑的;bored无聊的;annoyed恼怒的;interested感兴趣的。
2.B 根据后文的a moment of relaxation可知,每天在树林和水边散步成为作者的放松时光。serve as符合语境。故选B。 take away带走; serve as作为;clean up清理; refer to指的是。
3.A 根据后文“…the ocean, mountains, and forests fills me with pride…”可知,这里的描述强调的是自然景观的美好,海洋、山脉和森林应该是很美的,让作者感到自豪。故选A。beauty美丽;form形式; symbol象征;threat威胁。
4.C 根据后文to protect them可知,海洋、山脉和森林的美景让作者有了一种保护它们的责任感。故选C。direction方向; humour幽默;duty责任;loss损失。

Currently, a large-scale campaign against illegal hunting ③is being carried out across the country. However, animals ④are constantly being threatened by pollution and loss of living space. It is time that we should take immediate action.
【自主发现】
以上语段中,①、②、③、④均使用 ,其结构为 。
【语法精析】
一、现在进行时的被动语态的几种结构形式
肯定结构 be(am/is/are)+being done
否定结构 be(am/is/are)+not+being done
一般疑问结构 be(am/is/are)+主语+being done
特殊疑问结构 特殊疑问词+be(am/is/are)+主语+being done

She may be being punished by her mother.
她也许正在被她的母亲惩罚。
3.有时可表示按计划或安排将要进行的一个被动动作。如:
A celebration is being held this weekend for his success.
这个周末将为他的成功举办庆祝会。

People’s voices frighten wildlife even more than the snarls (低吼) of lions, suggesting that we are the scariest animals. Giraffes, elephants, and more than a dozen other species of animals in a South African wildlife reserve ran away from loudspeakers twice as often when they heard the sounds of humans compared with those of lions, found by a study led by Michael Clinchy at the University of Western Ontario in Canada.
“This is a protected area, so these animals should not be fearful of us,” he says. “But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (偷猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.”
Clinchy and his colleagues had already discovered that the fear of predators (捕食者) can cause species to decline in number. Wanting to find out which was the most feared, the team decided to test humans against lions often seen as the world’s most fearsome predator on land, says Clinchy.
They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 metres away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world. When animals approached the waterholes, the speakers immediately played back one of four kinds of recordings, all at the same volume. These included men and women speaking calmly in local languages, lions snarling, gun shots with or without barking dogs and the calls of regional birds.
The researchers captured 15,000 videos of 19 species of animals reacting to their recordings. They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape.
The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological (生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms.
( )1.Why are some animals fearful of human beings
A.Human beings are the strongest.
B.Human beings make them out of water.
C.Human beings may have caused great damage.
D.Human beings can make the loudest voice in the world.
( )2.What can be inferred about Greater Kruger National Park
A.There are many lions there.
B.There are 21 waterholes there.
C.It is easy to set up loudspeakers there.
D.It is easy to record the local people’s activities.
( )3.Which animal responded to human voices least
A.Elephants. B.Giraffes.
C.Lions. D.Dogs.
( )4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A.The advantages of human voices to animals.
B.The damaging impact of human presence.
C.The significant ecological results of human voices.
D.The impact and possible application of human voices.

[2025·浙江湖州高一适应性考试]
Many people believe sharks are dangerous and will always try to hurt or even kill humans. 1.
A shark exhibition at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, US, proves this. Visitors can touch young sharks, see their eggs develop and watch a dozen different species swim smoothly around a huge tank.
Most people fail to realize that shark attacks don’t happen very often. Humans are more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark. 2. They can watch them develop inside the eggs and feel the skin of the older swimmers so as to learn, from an early age, not to fear sharks.
“People fear what they don’t know,” said Nancy Hotchkiss, an organizer of the exhibition, which runs till December. “Sharks have been round for 400 million years and play an important role in the ocean’s food chain. We want people to discover that sharks are amazing animals that need our respect and protection.”
3. A study, published in January in the US magazine Science, found that almost all recorded shark species have fallen by half in the past eight to fifteen years.
Thousands of sharks are hunted in Asia for special foods, such as shark fin soup. 4. More than half of all sharks caught are smaller than one metre long.
“Some fishing methods are actually cleaning out the ocean,”said Dave Schofield, the manager of the aquarium’s ocean health programme. “The fishermen threw them away like rubbish.” 5.
A.A shocking 100 million sharks are killed every year by humans around the world.
B.And many others get caught in nets, while fishermen are hunting other fish.
C.Sharks can smell and taste blood, and trace it back to its source.
D.In fact,94 percent of the world’s 400 species are harmless to humans.
E.Whoever does harm to sharks shall be punished by international laws.
F.It is a worrying situation and some areas have put measures in place to protect these species of fish.
G.And to make this point clear, the museum has set up a special touching pool for children.

My love of nature started with a book called The Jungle Mystery when I was a kid. It got me 1 to see all the animals and their adventures. Since then my love for animals has deepened. To this day, daily walks among trees and waters 2 a moment of relaxation. The 3 of the ocean, mountains, and forests fills me with pride and a sense of 4 to protect them.
Last year, my drive to 5 nature led me to volunteer for a wildlife reserve project. One unforgettable day, I spent my time in a thick forest, 6 the health of some endangered birds. As I 7 observed them for details, a family of foxes suddenly appeared from the grass, their curious eyes widened as they met me. I collected all my 8 and drove them out of sight. It was a breathtaking moment!
Later that day, I faced another 9 challenge. A nest had been knocked down by a falling branch, leaving baby birds 10 their mother helplessly. My heart raced upon seeing the scene, but I quickly acted, placing the nest 11 back on the tree. The 12 of helping animals strengthened my determination to continue with my volunteer work.
These experiences have taught me that nature is not just something to admire; instead it is a(n) 13 to take on. Every small act of preservation counts, and I feel 14 to be part of this cause. Protecting nature not only enriches our lives but 15 a greener, more harmonious world for future generations.

二、现在进行时的被动语态的用法
1.表示此时此刻正在进行的被动的动作。如:
My sister is now being interviewed.
我妹妹现在正在接受面试。
2.表示现阶段正在进行的被动的动作(该动作在说话的瞬间未必正在
进行)。如:
Many interesting experiments are being carried out these days.
这些日子许多有趣的实验正在进行着。(说话时,该动作并不一定正在
进行)
3.表示一种经常性的被动行为,常和always, constantly 等表示频率的
副词连用,这种用法常常带有赞扬或厌恶的感彩。如:
He is always being praised by the leader.
他总是受到领导的表扬。
三、使用现在进行时的被动语态要注意的问题
1.不可漏掉being,若漏掉,则成为一般现在时的被动语态或系表结构。
如:
The report is being written by one of the best students.
The report is well written.
2.可与部分情态动词连用,表示对正在发生的事情的推测。如:
She may be being punished by her mother.
她也许正在被她的母亲惩罚。
3.有时可表示按计划或安排将要进行的一个被动动作。如:
A celebration is being held this weekend for his success.
这个周末将为他的成功举办庆祝会。
4.某些表示“状态、心理活动、存在”等的动词,如have, want, need,
love等,一般不用现在进行时的被动语态,而常用一般现在时的被动语
态。如:
With the population increasing, more land is needed.
随着人口的增长,需要更多的土地。
5.“be+under/in+n.”可表示现在进行时的被动意义。如:
My computer is under repair.
=My computer is being repaired.
我的电脑正在维修。

People's voices frighten wildlife even more than the snarls
(低吼) of lions, suggesting that we are the scariest animals.
Giraffes, elephants, and more than a dozen other species of
animals in a South African wildlife reserve ran away from
loudspeakers twice as often when they heard the sounds of
humans compared with those of lions, found by a study led by
Michael Clinchy at the University of Western Ontario in Canada.

“This is a protected area, so these animals should not be
fearful of us,” he says. “But whether you're a wildlife tourist, or
a poacher (偷猎者), or whatever, you're all going to be seen as
the same thing. The presence of the human is equally
dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.”
Clinchy and his colleagues had already discovered that the
fear of predators (捕食者) can cause species to decline in
number. Wanting to find out which was the most feared, the
team decided to test humans against lions often seen as the
world's most fearsome predator on land, says Clinchy.

They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 metres
away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger
National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest
remaining lion populations in the world. When animals
approached the waterholes, the speakers immediately played
back one of four kinds of recordings, all at the same volume.
These included men and women speaking calmly in local
languages, lions snarling, gun shots with or without barking
dogs and the calls of regional birds.

The researchers captured 15,000 videos of 19 species of
animals reacting to their recordings. They found that wildlife
except lions ran around in response to human voices more than
to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to
escape.
The findings highlight the damaging impact that our
presence could potentially be having significant ecological
(生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive
outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from
entering crop fields or farms.

tourist, or a poacher(偷猎者), or whatever, you're all going to
be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is
equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.”
可知，不管你是什么类型的人——观看野生动物的游客、偷猎者或
其他什么人，在野生动物眼里，你都是一样的——人类的存在对它
们来说都是一样的危险，因此可以推断出，人类曾经伤害过动物们，
给它们带来过危险，所以它们才会非常害怕人类。故选C。
