Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了各方人士共同努力拯救美国鸟类的事情,强调了人与鸟类共存的重要性。
1.B 推理判断题。根据第一段“The song of the Florida grasshopper sparrow is unusual and surprisingly insect-like. But it almost fell silent forever. In 2012, Joel Sartore, the founder of National Geographic Explorer and Photo Ark received a call from the US Fish and Wildlife Service: the songbird, an important ecological link in Florida’s dry grassland, was on the edge of extinction. With only a few dozen males showing up in counts, it was among North America’s most endangered bird species.” (佛罗里达州草蜢沙鹀的歌声不同寻常,出人意料地像昆虫。但它几乎永远沉默了。2012年,国家地理探险家和摄影方舟的创始人Joel Sartore接到了美国鱼类和野生动物管理局的电话:这种鸣禽是佛罗里达州干旱草原上的一个重要生态环节,正处于灭绝的边缘。由于只有几十只雄性在计数显示中出现,它是北美最濒危的鸟类之一。)可知,这里利用具体的例子来说明北美鸟类的濒危情况。故选B。
2.B 词义猜测题。根据第二段“The story appeared in outlets, such as newspapers, magazines and even the Internet, helping boost government funding for a breeding programme.” (这个故事出现在报纸、杂志甚至互联网等上,有助于增加政府对育种项目的资助。)可知,这里的outlets包括报纸、杂志甚至互联网等,所以outlets的意思应该是“媒体”,和选项B意思一致。故选B。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第三段“Like other examples of species survival, the push to save the sparrow is ‘a remarkable story of belief and cooperation’, says Sartore. It also shows what it takes to protect an endangered species: research, narratives, partnerships, resources and time. This journey shows the society’s mission to illustrate and protect the wonder of the world. Over the past 136 years, we’ve developed a unique Explorer-led model, combining science, exploration, education, and storytelling to drive impact. We support Explorer in more than 140 countries, including Sartore and others whose work appears in this issue: biologist André Green Ⅱ, photographer Lynsey Addario and education advocate Ara Kusuma.” (Sartore说,与其他物种生存的例子一样,拯救麻雀的努力是“一个关于信仰与合作的非凡故事”。它还展示了保护濒危物种需要什么:研究、叙述、伙伴关系、资源和时间。这段旅程展示了社会展现和保护世界奇迹的使命。在过去的136年里,我们开发了一种独特的Explorer主导的模式,将科学、探索、教育和讲故事相结合,以推动影响力。我们支持140多个国家的Explorer,包括Sartore和其他作品出现在本期的人:生物学家André Green Ⅱ、摄影师Lynsey Addario和教育倡导者Ara Kusuma。)可知,拯救麻雀是各领域专业人士共同努力的结果。故选D。
4.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As Sartore says, ‘The sounds of birds are the sounds of a healthy planet. When we save a bird or another species, we’re actually saving ourselves.’” (正如Sartore所说,“鸟的声音就是一个健康的星球的声音。当我们拯救一只鸟或另一个物种时,我们实际上是在拯救自己。”)可知,Sartore认为,鸟类和人类息息相关,强调了人与鸟类共存的重要性。故选C。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了Achilles看见一位飞行员遇险,去解救飞行员的过程。

3.C 根据前文的“As a former Navy commander, he realized it would land in the icy river.”和“He ran down to the waterfront.”可知,作为一名前海军指挥官,他意识到飞机将在结冰的河流中着陆,所以他没有犹豫,跑去救人。故选C项。estimate估计;encounter遇到;hesitate犹豫;host主办。
4.A 根据前文的“The plane had slid to a river far from shore…”和后文“The pilot was standing on the wing.”可知,飞行员站在机翼上,由此可推知飞机现在正在下沉。故选A项。sink下沉;appear出现;quit退出;erupt喷发。
5.D 根据后文的“…in the icy water could kill the pilot.”可知,即使在冰冷的水中待上几分钟,飞行员也会丧命。a few moments一会儿。故选D项。
6.C 根据前文的“…tested the ice with his foot…”和后文“…walking on it. He and his son, Janson pulled two canoes out from their back deck.”可知,Achilles用脚试了试冰面,决定不冒险在上面走。故选C项。oppose反对;restrict 限制;risk冒险做;fancy想要。
7.D 根据后文的pushing their boats across the ice可知,两个人出发了。故选D项。work out锻炼;take part参与;show up出现; set off出发,动身。

12.A 根据前文的“…but Achilles knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of unbroken ice…”和后文“…the man…too much body heat.”可知,他必须在飞行员失去太多体温之前,把他弄到没有破裂的冰架上。故选A项。lose 失去; assist 帮助; add 添加; facilitate 促进。
13.A 根据前文的“…a police officer appeared…”和后文for help可知,一个警察出现了,用无线电呼救。故选A项。radio发送;yell喊;wave挥手;beg乞求。

The song of the Florida grasshopper sparrow is unusual and surprisingly insect-like. But it almost fell silent forever. In 2012, Joel Sartore, the founder of National Geographic Explorer and Photo Ark received a call from the US Fish and Wildlife Service: the songbird, an important ecological link in Florida’s dry grassland, was on the edge of extinction. With only a few dozen males showing up in counts, it was among North America’s most endangered bird species.
Sartore flew to Florida to photograph the bird and work with conservationists to raise awareness of the species’ difficult situation. The story appeared in outlets, such as newspapers, magazines and even the Internet, helping boost government funding for a breeding programme. Thanks to these steps, there are now as many as 180 adults in the wild and researchers are working hard to bring the species back from the brink of extinction.
Like other examples of species survival, the push to save the sparrow is “a remarkable story of belief and cooperation”, says Sartore. It also shows what it takes to protect an endangered species: research, narratives, partnerships, resources and time. This journey shows the society’s mission to illustrate and protect the wonder of the world. Over the past 136 years, we’ve developed a unique Explorer-led model, combining science, exploration, education, and storytelling to drive impact. We support Explorer in more than 140 countries, including Sartore and others whose work appears in this issue: biologist André Green Ⅱ, photographer Lynsey Addario and education advocate Ara Kusuma.
Sartore has been creating an “ark” of animal photos for 17 years. Portraits of more than 15,000 species invite audiences to connect and care. With the society’s support, the images have appeared on landmarks and US postage stamps, prompting on-the-ground conservation efforts such as an initiative of National Geographic Explorer and Photo Ark.
As Sartore says, “The sounds of birds are the sounds of a healthy planet. When we save a bird or another species, we’re actually saving ourselves.”
( )1.How does the author introduce the topic
A.By clarifying a concept.
B.By offering an example.
C.By giving an explanation.
D.By quoting a remark.

C.Exits. D.Books.

A.A funding programme from the government.
B.An ark of animal photos in the magazine.
C.A unique initiative for species protection.
D.A joint effort from different professionals.

[2024·江苏徐州高二期末]
The song of the Florida grasshopper sparrow is unusual and
surprisingly insect-like. But it almost fell silent forever. In 2012, Joel
Sartore, the founder of National Geographic Explorer and Photo
Ark received a call from the US Fish and Wildlife Service: the
songbird, an important ecological link in Florida's dry grassland,
was on the edge of extinction. With only a few dozen males
1

showing up in counts, it was among North America's most
endangered bird species.
Sartore flew to Florida to photograph the bird and work with
conservationists to raise awareness of the species' difficult situation.
The story appeared in outlets, such as newspapers, magazines and
even the Internet, helping boost government funding for a
breeding programme. Thanks to these steps, there are now as
many as 180 adults in the wild and researchers are working hard
to bring the species back from the brink of extinction.

Like other examples of species survival, the push to save the
sparrow is “a remarkable story of belief and cooperation”, says
Sartore. It also shows what it takes to protect an endangered
species: research, narratives, partnerships, resources and time. This
journey shows the society's mission to illustrate and protect the
wonder of the world. Over the past 136 years, we've developed a
unique Explorer-led model, combining science, exploration,
education, and storytelling to drive impact. We support Explorer in
more than 140 countries, including Sartore and others whose work
appears in this issue: biologist André Green Ⅱ, photographer
Lynsey Addario and education advocate Ara Kusuma.

Sartore has been creating an “ark” of animal photos for 17
years. Portraits of more than 15,000 species invite audiences to
connect and care. With the society's support, the images have
appeared on landmarks and US postage stamps, prompting on-the-
ground conservation efforts such as an initiative of National
Geographic Explorer and Photo Ark.
As Sartore says, “The sounds of birds are the sounds of a
healthy planet. When we save a bird or another species, we're
actually saving ourselves.”

(Sartore说，与其他物种生存的例子一样，拯救麻雀的努力是“一个关于信仰
与合作的非凡故事”。它还展示了保护濒危物种需要什么：研究、叙述、伙伴

关系、资源和时间。这段旅程展示了社会展现和保护世界奇迹的使命。在过去

育和讲故事相结合，以推动影响力。我们支持140多个国家的Explorer，包括
Sartore和其他作品出现在本期的人：生物学家André Green Ⅱ、摄影师
Lynsey Addario和教育倡导者Ara Kusuma。)可知，拯救麻雀是各领域专业

我们实际上是在拯救自己。”)可知，Sartore认为，鸟类和人类息息相关，强
