Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲述了昆士兰大学的研究人员设计了一款新的应用程序,该应用程序通过消除科学家之间的语言障碍,来保护全球濒临灭绝的鸟类。
1.A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The Bird Language Diversity web app will help provide a ‘bird’s eye view’, ensuring vital information is shared to improve worldwide conservation.”(这款鸟类语言多样性网络应用程序将有助于提供一个“鸟瞰”视角,确保共享重要信息以改善全球保护。)可推知,这款应用程序的开发目的是改善全球保护。故选A。
2.B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“The Bird Language Diversity web app will help provide a ‘bird’s eye view’, ensuring vital information is shared to improve worldwide conservation.”(这款鸟类语言多样性网络应用程序将有助于提供一个“鸟瞰”视角,确保共享重要信息以改善全球保护。)以及第三段“Take the bird Common Pochard for example. It is classified as the vulnerable species (易危种) and crosses 108 countries in Europe, Asia and North Africa, where a total of 75 official languages are spoken. The survival of the Common Pochard, and so many other species, depends on effective cooperation and policy agreements among people with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.”(以红头潜鸭为例。它被分类为易危种,并分布于欧洲、亚洲和北非的108个国家,这些国家共有75种官方语言。红头潜鸭以及许多其他物种的生存,都依赖于具有多元语言和文化背景的人们之间的有效合作和政策协议。)可推知,红头潜鸭在文中的提及是为了强调在其保护中的清晰沟通。故选B。
3.D 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“This app reveals where threatened and migratory birds exist geographically, in relation to the human language spoken in those regions.”可知,该应用程序显示了受威胁的候鸟在地理上的位置。故选D。
4.C 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段“Researchers from The University of Queensland (UQ) have helped design a new app to protect birds at risk of extinction across the world by eliminating language barriers among scientists. The Bird Language Diversity web app will help provide a ‘bird’s eye view’, ensuring vital information is shared to improve worldwide conservation.”可知,这篇文章主要介绍了一款新的应用程序,这款应用程序通过消除科学家之间的语言障碍,来保护全球濒临灭绝的鸟类。因此,C选项“一款新的鸟类应用程序发展壮大”最能概括文章的内容。故选C。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者跟团去看极光的经历。
1.D 根据后文“…the bus…at Aurora (极光) Village…”可知,他们要去看极光,所以是作者穿好衣服出门。故选D。bath沐浴; eat吃; book预订;dress穿衣服。
2.C 根据上文“It’s not hard to find my group…”以及后文“…black polar boots the size of a trunk.”可知,队友都穿着相同的黑色极地靴子等着。故选C。formal正式的;fancy幻想的;identical相同的;distinct清楚的。
3.A 根据上文“But you never know, so we will still be…”可知,天气是未知的,所以还是有希望看到极光的。故选A。hopeful有希望的;thankful感谢的;careful仔细的;regretful后悔的。
4.D 根据后文“Getting off the bus…”可知,公交车在极光村停了下来。故选D。 turn back返回; drive through驶过; break down出故障;pull up停车。
5.A 根据后文from foot to foot可知,此处指作者因为寒冷忍不住换脚。故选A。shift变换;step踏步;slide滑动;shake摇晃。
6.B 根据“‘Is that it ’ someone asks, pointing at a small dome of brightness on the horizon.”可知,有人看到了极光,说明云消散了。故选B。 escape逃走;lift消散;faint晕倒;appear出现。
7.C 根据后文“…and tourism runs on expectations stimulated by travel websites.”可知,看极光的旅游业主要基于由旅游网站激发的人们的期望,即极光的出现不会受这些人为因素的影响,由此可知,极光出现体现了极光遵循着自己的微妙时间表。故选C。 timely及时的;busy忙碌的; delicate微妙的; regular定期的。
8.C 根据后文“…photos of emerald-green and ruby-red arcs make false…”可知,旅游的照片都是被增强过的,所以是虚假的。故选C。 clarified 澄清的;distributed分散式的;enhance增强;wronged被冤枉的。
9.A 根据上文“…photos of emerald-green and ruby-red arcs make false…”可知,因为旅游的照片都是被增强过的,所以是虚假的承诺。故选A。promise承诺; decision决定;statement陈述;arrangement安排。
10.B 根据上文“So I’ve tried to keep my own expectations…”可知,作者认识到了照片具有欺骗性,所以努力严格控制自己的期望值。故选B。legally合法地;tightly牢固地,紧地;eagerly急切地;narrowly勉强地。
11.C 根据后文into a fine white arc可知,此处指一片云变成了一条美丽的白色弧线,应用grow into。故选C。 run奔跑; divide分开; grow成长,变成; absorb吸收。
12.D 根据上文“It is February 2020, and it’s almost as cold inside as out.”以及语境可知,天气寒冷,他们应是躺在雪堆上面。故选D。 tourist游客;photo照片;dirt泥土;snow雪。

15.D 上文“But viewing the aurora is something that doesn’t…”中but表示转折,结合上文作者结伴去看极光的经历可知,观赏极光对独自旅行的人来说并没那么有意义。此处的reward意味着独自旅行的观赏者不能从中获得满足感。故选D。 comprise包括;surprise使惊喜; punish惩罚;reward奖励。Period Four Using Language

●Ⅴ 阅读理解 [2024·山东青岛高二期末]
Researchers from The University of Queensland (UQ) have helped design a new app to protect birds at risk of extinction across the world by eliminating language barriers among scientists. The Bird Language Diversity web app will help provide a “bird’s eye view”, ensuring vital information is shared to improve worldwide conservation.
Dr Pablo Negret said the research team analysed more than 10,000 bird species, and found that 1,587 species have 10 languages or more spoken within their distributions, “Scientific information on species can be spread across different languages, but valuable information can go missing or get lost in translation,” Dr Negret said. “Without enough sharing of information, this can affect the effectiveness of conservation measures.”
Take the bird Common Pochard for example. It is classified as the vulnerable species (易危种) and crosses 108 countries in Europe, Asia and North Africa, where a total of 75 official languages are spoken. The survival of the Common Pochard, and so many other species, depends on effective cooperation and policy agreements among people with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
This app reveals where threatened and migratory birds exist geographically, in relation to the human language spoken in those regions. “We hope the app will encourage researchers and conservation organizations to interact with their peers in other regions, especially if they speak different languages, and be a starting point to allow everyone to work together to protect threatened species,” Dr Negret said.
Dr Tatsuya Amano, a researcher and the co-author of the paper, said this work could extend further than bird species. “Any species, whether they’re mammals, amphibians (两栖动物), or plants, with a range crossing multiple countries will be impacted by language barriers, as well as species that migrate across different countries, such as marine species and butterflies,” he said. “The impact of poor communication on such an important issue is evident, and it is the reason why we’re working hard to improve science communication across languages.”
( )1.For what purpose is the app developed
A.To improve worldwide conservation.
B.To educate people on bird species.
C.To collect more bird information.
D.To promote the bird diversity worldwide.
( )2.Why is the bird Common Pochard mentioned in the text
A.To present valuable information collected about the bird.
B.To highlight the clear communication in its conservation.
C.To attract people with various linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
D.To show the achievements of the scientists from different countries.
( )3.What is shown on the app
A.The producer of the app.
B.The organizations involved.
C.The information of new geographers.
D.The location of endangered birds.
( )4.What can be the best title for the text
A.Bird protection is an urgency
B.A new bird app helps learn languages
C.A new bird app spreads its wings
D.Poor communication impacts cooperation

Ⅴ阅读理解［2024·山东青岛高二期末］
Researchers from The University of Queensland (UQ) have
helped design a new app to protect birds at risk of extinction
across the world by eliminating language barriers among
scientists. The Bird Language Diversity web app will help provide
a “bird's eye view”, ensuring vital information is shared to
improve worldwide conservation.

Dr Pablo Negret said the research team analysed more than
10,000 bird species, and found that 1,587 species have 10
languages or more spoken within their distributions, “Scientific
information on species can be spread across different languages,
but valuable information can go missing or get lost in
translation,” Dr Negret said. “Without enough sharing of
information, this can affect the effectiveness of conservation
measures.”

Take the bird Common Pochard for example. It is classified
as the vulnerable species (易危种) and crosses 108 countries in
Europe, Asia and North Africa, where a total of 75 official
languages are spoken. The survival of the Common Pochard,
and so many other species, depends on effective cooperation
and policy agreements among people with diverse linguistic and
cultural backgrounds.
This app reveals where threatened and migratory birds exist
geographically, in relation to the human language spoken in
1

those regions. “We hope the app will encourage researchers and
conservation organizations to interact with their peers in other
regions, especially if they speak different languages, and be a
starting point to allow everyone to work together to protect
threatened species,” Dr Negret said.
Dr Tatsuya Amano, a researcher and the co-author of the
paper, said this work could extend further than bird species.
“Any species, whether they're mammals, amphibians (两栖动物),
or plants, with a range crossing multiple countries will be
1

impacted by language barriers, as well as species that migrate
across different countries, such as marine species and butterflies,”
he said. “The impact of poor communication on such an
important issue is evident, and it is the reason why we're
working hard to improve science communication across
languages.”
