UNIT 6 THE MEDIA(一)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A(2025河北承德二模)
Deep in the remote floodplain of Angola’s Kwando River,Kerllen Costa and his team were desperately searching for a campsite when they spotted an elder alone on a small island.As they approached,the elder questioned him,“Why were the people with you watching river birds with their telescopes ”
When he explained they were a team of scientists on an expedition(考察),the elder told him,“If you only look at the bird,you won’t be able to understand how the bird communicates with the tree and how the bird interacts with the water.” Costa asked him how he knew this and the elder replied,“Well,because how would you know what’s in a landscape—what’s its story—if there’re no people in it It’s only the people that bring history to it.” This has guided Costa’s work at the rivers of the Angolan Highlands Water Tower:building relationships of trust with local communities.
Local communities have developed lifestyles over generations that protect and respect their homeland.Understanding what it means to protect these environments,means meeting,listening,and knowing the people who live there.So Costa often spends nights in villages listening to local elders share their beliefs on existence and has spent weeks going through remote parts of the forest with local hunters.“There were several different moments when the local people were saying,‘Listen,you and your scientists,you might say this,but we know for sure it’s this for a reason,’” says Costa.
The human approach Costa puts at the helm(舵轮) of his team’s efforts is a big step forward in the world of conservation.“That can shock some of the more conservative ways of thinking in terms of conservation.And there still is that difficulty to try and understand we shouldn’t create a national park.Why not allow people to still wander and use the systems that they already used for the last five generations I really feel success should be people being able to still manage their own natural heritage and still living according to their traditions,” Costa stresses.
1.What can we learn from the elder’s words in paragraph 2
A.A landscape with people has a soul.
B.The area has rich resources of history.
C.The local ecosystem is being destroyed.
D.The telescopes disturb the birds too much.
2.What’s the key to Costa’s job
A.Sharpening the expedition skills.
B.Following the principles of nature.
C.Having a close bond with the locals.
D.Taking field trips with a good hunter.
3.What is Costa’s attitude towards setting up a national park
A.Indifferent. B.Confident.
C.Conservative. D.Disapproval.
4.Which of the following can best describe Costa
A.Determined and generous.
B.Demanding and honest.
C.Insightful and considerate.
D.Flexible and talkative.
B(2025福建漳州三模)
Every July,the western sandpiper,a small migratory bird,travels from Alaska to the coast of Peru along the Pacific Flyway.Along the way,the wetlands of California’s Central Valley provide crucial resting and feeding wetlands.Traditionally,rice farmers in the region flood their fields after harvest to decompose(分解) remaining vegetation.Through the BirdReturns program,farmers are rewarded for flooding their fields earlier in fall and later in spring,creating temporary wetlands for migratory birds during their southward and northward journeys.To figure out where these alternative habitats are most needed,BirdReturns uses data from eBird—a community science project composed of birders’ recorded sightings— to assess where and when migratory birds typically land in the Central Valley.Researchers combine that information with satellite data showing when and where surface water is most available,and where it’s needed.
BirdReturns is not like traditional conservation strategies in which organizations buy land and protect it in perpetuity.Instead,it’s a market-based program that pays farmers to flood their fields for a certain amount of time,rather like renting bird habitat,explains Julia Barfield,a program manager for the Nature Conservancy and part of BirdReturns.The amount of money that farmers receive is determined by a reverse auction(反向拍卖):The farmers bid(出价) for contracts,and the lowest bidder wins.Though the way sounds effective,but it is still tough to settle all problems.
“Although market-based solutions shouldn’t be the only answer,they are ‘a piece of the puzzle’,”says Natalia,a conservation ecologist at UC Santa Cruz who is not involved with BirdReturns.Daniel Karp,a researcher at Davis,sees the program as a rare conservation win.Most of the time,small farms that grow many different crops and plant pollinator-friendly(有利于传粉者的) flowers are the best way to conserve biodiversity in human-dominated landscapes.But although rice farmers grow only one crop,their large fields are an exception.The BirdReturns program is far from a complete solution,but “it’s this weird circumstance where you have a large,industrial-scale intensive agricultural system that can meanwhile support wildlife,” Karp says.
5.Why do farmers flood their fields originally
A.To make them wetlands.
B.To feed migratory birds.
C.To protect the house from the flood.
D.To break down leftover plant matter.
6.What does the underlined word “perpetuity” probably mean
A.Control. B.Practice.
C.Permanence. D.Development.
7.Why is the BirdReturns program unique
A.Farmers are paid to adjust farming schedules.
B.It partially relies on long-term land protection.
C.Farmers’ fields are rented for bird reproduction.
D.It is very time-saving and energy-efficient.
8.How do both Natalia and Karp view the program
A.A bitter lesson.
B.A beneficial trial.
C.A special success.
D.A detailed study.
C(2025广东广州二模)
A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park,New Mexico.This cave is almost cut off from the outside world,so introducing anything foreign can be harmful.“Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley.The snack attracts tiny organisms,causing unwanted growth.Soon,small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat,spreading the pollution.Rangers found the bag within hours.“But that can be all it takes,”says Ashley.“I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.”
Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year,creating many chances to harm wild places.“When you look at the numbers,it’s incredible,” says Watts,head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado,an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.
Food waste takes a long time to break down,especially in certain areas.“It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye,a teacher at the University of Utah.Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results.Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down.“Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts.“Everyone loses in this case.”
Biological waste is also problematic.Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer.Meanwhile,human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources.
In national parks,trails(小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas.Stepping off the trail,even for a quick photo,can scare wildlife away.Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife.But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity.“It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye.The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious.“It’s easy to think,oh,there are wildflowers over there.I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye,but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits,including reducing the risk of erosion(侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall,and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.
9.What does Ashley mean by “But that can be all it takes.”
A.The rangers’ work is efficient.
B.The damage has been done.
C.The clean-up takes a long time.
D.The pollution has spread widely.
10.What is a result of foreign waste in public lands
A.A shift in animal behavior.
B.A shortage of food supplies.
C.A decline in bacterial species.
D.An increase in regional conflicts.
11.Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5
A.To praise their benefits to desert life.
B.To highlight our damage to ecosystems.
C.To stress their significance for photography.
D.To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity.
12.It is conveyed in this passage that we should .
A.encourage wildlife protection
B.leave no trace in the wild
C.promote national park tourism
D.restore ecological damage
Ⅱ.七选五
(2026山东济宁期末)
Our world faces a twofold challenge:feeding a population projected to reach 10 billion by 2050 while minimizing environmental degradation.Precision agriculture(PA) emerges as a transformative solution. 13 To put it precisely,it uses digital tools and real-time data to tailor farming practices—from planting to harvesting.This data-driven approach promises not only higher yields but also greater sustainability,making it a cornerstone of modern food systems.
One example is the use of drones equipped with multispectral sensors to monitor crop health.The drones fly over the fields and take high-resolution photos and data in a variety of light wavelengths.Weaker plants show clear differences in light reflection when compared to healthy ones. 14 They can apply fertilizer,water,or pesticides just where they are needed instead of randomly over their fields.
15 High upfront costs for equipment and software can exclude small-scale farmers,particularly in low-income regions.Data privacy concerns also arise as more farm operations rely on interconnected digital systems. 16 Governments and private sectors must invest in education and rural broadband expansion.Besides,collaborations between tech companies,universities,and farmers’ cooperatives can help speed up innovation.
As climate change intensifies,PA will play a critical role in building a food system capable of adapting to shifting weather patterns.Its ability to turn data into actionable insights may well determine whether we can feed future generations without sacrificing the health of our Earth. 17
In a world where every decision matters,there’s no better time to embrace this revolution.
A.PA is not without its challenges.
B.It functions as a one-size-fits-all approach.
C.To overcome these challenges,joint efforts are needed.
D.Using the information,farmers can make focused decisions.
E.It uses advanced technologies to optimize every aspect of farming.
F.By making data-dependent decisions,farmers can improve productivity.
G.In essence,PA isn’t just about growing more;it’s about growing smarter.
参考答案
UNIT 6 THE MEDIA(一)
Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了生态科学家Kerllen Costa在进行生态考察时尊重当地生活状态并积极融入当地生活,践行生态环保的故事。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“If you only look at the bird,you won’t be able to understand how the bird communicates with the tree and how the bird interacts with the water.”以及“Well,because how would you know what’s in a landscape—what’s its story—if there’re no people in it It’s only the people that bring history to it.”可知,长者认为有人存在的风景才有灵魂。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This has guided Costa’s work at the rivers of the Angolan Highlands Water Tower:building relationships of trust with local communities.”可知,Costa工作的关键是与当地人建立密切的联系。
3.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I really feel success should be people being able to still manage their own natural heritage and still living according to their traditions”可知,Costa认为应该允许人们按照他们的传统生活,而不是建立国家公园,这表明他对建立国家公园持不赞成的态度。
4.C 推理判断题。通读全文可知,Costa倡导的“以人为本”的自然生态保护措施有别于传统的做法,他在与老人交流及融入当地社区时体现出了独有的洞察力,并尊重当地人的历史传承,主张要保证当地人目前的生活状态与几代人传承下来的生活方式不受到打扰。所以Costa既富有洞察力又很为他人着想。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个保护鸟类的组织通过支付农民费用让其调整灌溉农田的时间来为候鸟创造栖息地。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Traditionally,rice farmers in the region flood their fields after harvest to decompose remaining vegetation.”可知,该地区的农民在收获后灌溉他们的田地是为了分解剩余的植被。
6.C 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“BirdReturns is not like traditional conservation strategies in which organizations buy land and protect it in perpetuity.Instead,it’s a market-based program that pays farmers to flood their fields for a certain amount of time,rather like renting bird habitat,explains Julia Barfield,a program manager for the Nature Conservancy and part of BirdReturns.”可知,BirdReturns不像传统的保护策略那样,即组织购买土地并永久保护土地。相反,BirdReturns是基于市场的项目,支付农民在特定时间段灌溉田地的费用。所以perpetuity在这里应是与for a certain amount of time相对的意思,意为“永久”,与C项意思相近。
7.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“BirdReturns is not like traditional conservation strategies in which organizations buy land and protect it in perpetuity.Instead,it’s a market-based program that pays farmers to flood their fields for a certain amount of time,rather like renting bird habitat,explains Julia Barfield,a program manager for the Nature Conservancy and part of BirdReturns.”可知,BirdReturns项目独特的原因在于它是一个基于市场的项目,支付农民费用让他们调整灌溉田地的时间来为候鸟创造栖息地。
8.B 推理判断题。根据第三段第一、二句可知,Natalia 认为基于市场的解决方案不应是唯一答案,但它们是拼图的一部分;Karp则认为该项目取得了难得的保护成果。由此可推知,Natalia和Karp都认为这个项目是一个有益的尝试。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类活动,特别是游客在自然保护区的不当行为,对自然环境造成的负面影响。
9.B 词句猜测题。根据文章画线句子上文“A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park,New Mexico.This cave is almost cut off from the outside world,so introducing anything foreign can be harmful.”以及“Soon,small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat,spreading the pollution.”可知,一袋薯片掉落在洞穴里,虽然护林员在几小时内就发现了薯片,但是在此之前薯片已经吸引了微小生物,导致了不必要的生物生长,蟋蟀和蜘蛛等小动物也跑来觅食并扩散了污染。所以 Ashley说“But that can be all it takes.”意思是损害已经造成了。
10.A 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results.Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down.‘Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,’ says Watts.‘Everyone loses in this case.’”可知,在公共土地上留下的外来垃圾会让动物接触到非自然的食物,进而改变它们的行为,有时还会带来灾难性的后果,比如尝到垃圾味道的熊会对人类构成威胁。
11.D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“‘It’s just such a hard thing to resist,’says Blye.The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious.‘It’s easy to think,oh,there are wildflowers over there.I shouldn’t step on that,’says Blye,but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits,including reducing the risk of erosion and helping absorb rainfall,and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.”可知,Blye说人们看到拍照机会很难抗拒,对敏感生态系统的风险并不明显。人们很容易想到那边有野花不应该踩到,但这些对沙漠生命至关重要的微小生态系统有很多益处,而且需要数百年才能恢复到原来的状态。所以作者在第五段提到野花是为了表明我们对大自然敏感性的无意识。
12.B 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇以一袋薯片扰乱洞穴生态系统为例,接着讲述了食物垃圾、生物垃圾等人类在公共土地上留下的废弃物对生态系统的危害,如改变动物行为、引入有害细菌等,还提到游客踏出小径拍照等行为对自然和野生动物造成长期损害,强调了人类活动对自然环境的不良影响。所以文章传达的是我们应该在野外不留下痕迹。
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍精准农业作为应对粮食与环境挑战的方案,其运作方式、实例、挑战及应对办法。
13.E 根据上文“Precision agriculture(PA) emerges as a transformative solution.”以及下文“To put it precisely,it uses digital tools and real-time data to tailor farming practices—from planting to harvesting.”可知,此处应解释精准农业的运作方式。E项“It uses advanced technologies to optimize every aspect of farming.”中的“advanced technologies”呼应下文“digital tools”,“every aspect of farming”对应“from planting to harvesting”,起到承上启下作用,符合语境。
14.D 根据上文“The drones fly over the fields and take high-resolution photos and data in a variety of light wavelengths.Weaker plants show clear differences in light reflection when compared to healthy ones.”以及下文“They can apply fertilizer,water,or pesticides just where they are needed instead of randomly over their fields.”可知,此处应体现农民利用无人机收集的信息来做决策。D项“Using the information,farmers can make focused decisions.”中的“the information”指代上文无人机收集的数据,“focused decisions”呼应下文精准操作,符合语境。
15.A 根据下文“High upfront costs for equipment and software can exclude small-scale farmers,particularly in low-income regions.Data privacy concerns also arise as more farm operations rely on interconnected digital systems.”可知,此处应引出精准农业存在的问题。A项“PA is not without its challenges.”直接点出主题,总领下文的成本和隐私问题,符合语境。
16.C 根据上文提出的成本和隐私挑战,以及下文“Governments and private sectors must invest in education and rural broadband expansion.Besides,collaborations between tech companies,universities,and farmers’ cooperatives can help speed up innovation.”可知,此处应提出应对挑战的办法。C项“To overcome these challenges,joint efforts are needed.”中的“these challenges”指代上文问题,“joint efforts”呼应下文政府、私营部门等多方合作,符合语境。
17.G 根据上文“As climate change intensifies,PA will play a critical role in building a food system capable of adapting to shifting weather patterns.Its ability to turn data into actionable insights may well determine whether we can feed future generations without sacrificing the health of our Earth.”以及下文“In a world where every decision matters,there’s no better time to embrace this revolution.”可知,此处应升华精准农业的意义。G项“In essence,PA isn’t just about growing more;it’s about growing smarter.”呼应上文“feed future generations without sacrificing the health of our Earth”,同时引出下文对这场变革的倡导,符合语境。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类活动,特别是游客在自然保护区的不当行为,对自然环境造成的负面影响。
9.B 词句猜测题。根据文章画线句子上文“A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park,New Mexico.This cave is almost cut off from the outside world,so introducing anything foreign can be harmful.”以及“Soon,small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat,spreading the pollution.”可知,一袋薯片掉落在洞穴里,虽然护林员在几小时内就发现了薯片,但是在此之前薯片已经吸引了微小生物,导致了不必要的生物生长,蟋蟀和蜘蛛等小动物也跑来觅食并扩散了污染。所以 Ashley说“But that can be all it takes.”意思是损害已经造成了。
10.A 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results.Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down.‘Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,’ says Watts.‘Everyone loses in this case.’”可知,在公共土地上留下的外来垃圾会让动物接触到非自然的食物,进而改变它们的行为,有时还会带来灾难性的后果,比如尝到垃圾味道的熊会对人类构成威胁。
11.D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“‘It’s just such a hard thing to resist,’says Blye.The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious.‘It’s easy to think,oh,there are wildflowers over there.I shouldn’t step on that,’says Blye,but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits,including reducing the risk of erosion and helping absorb rainfall,and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.”可知,Blye说人们看到拍照机会很难抗拒,对敏感生态系统的风险并不明显。人们很容易想到那边有野花不应该踩到,但这些对沙漠生命至关重要的微小生态系统有很多益处,而且需要数百年才能恢复到原来的状态。所以作者在第五段提到野花是为了表明我们对大自然敏感性的无意识。
12.B 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇以一袋薯片扰乱洞穴生态系统为例,接着讲述了食物垃圾、生物垃圾等人类在公共土地上留下的废弃物对生态系统的危害,如改变动物行为、引入有害细菌等,还提到游客踏出小径拍照等行为对自然和野生动物造成长期损害,强调了人类活动对自然环境的不良影响。所以文章传达的是我们应该在野外不留下痕迹。
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍精准农业作为应对粮食与环境挑战的方案,其运作方式、实例、挑战及应对办法。
13.E 根据上文“Precision agriculture(PA) emerges as a transformative solution.”以及下文“To put it precisely,it uses digital tools and real-time data to tailor farming practices—from planting to harvesting.”可知,此处应解释精准农业的运作方式。E项“It uses advanced technologies to optimize every aspect of farming.”中的“advanced technologies”呼应下文“digital tools”,“every aspect of farming”对应“from planting to harvesting”,起到承上启下作用,符合语境。
14.D 根据上文“The drones fly over the fields and take high-resolution photos and data in a variety of light wavelengths.Weaker plants show clear differences in light reflection when compared to healthy ones.”以及下文“They can apply fertilizer,water,or pesticides just where they are needed instead of randomly over their fields.”可知,此处应体现农民利用无人机收集的信息来做决策。D项“Using the information,farmers can make focused decisions.”中的“the information”指代上文无人机收集的数据,“focused decisions”呼应下文精准操作,符合语境。
15.A 根据下文“High upfront costs for equipment and software can exclude small-scale farmers,particularly in low-income regions.Data privacy concerns also arise as more farm operations rely on interconnected digital systems.”可知,此处应引出精准农业存在的问题。A项“PA is not without its challenges.”直接点出主题,总领下文的成本和隐私问题,符合语境。
16.C 根据上文提出的成本和隐私挑战,以及下文“Governments and private sectors must invest in education and rural broadband expansion.Besides,collaborations between tech companies,universities,and farmers’ cooperatives can help speed up innovation.”可知,此处应提出应对挑战的办法。C项“To overcome these challenges,joint efforts are needed.”中的“these challenges”指代上文问题,“joint efforts”呼应下文政府、私营部门等多方合作,符合语境。
17.G 根据上文“As climate change intensifies,PA will play a critical role in building a food system capable of adapting to shifting weather patterns.Its ability to turn data into actionable insights may well determine whether we can feed future generations without sacrificing the health of our Earth.”以及下文“In a world where every decision matters,there’s no better time to embrace this revolution.”可知,此处应升华精准农业的意义。G项“In essence,PA isn’t just about growing more;it’s about growing smarter.”呼应上文“feed future generations without sacrificing the health of our Earth”,同时引出下文对这场变革的倡导,符合语境。
