UNIT 4 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY(二)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A(2025四川宜宾三模)
As a scientist,Sara Cox realizes the dangers her beloved birds face.As an artist,she wants to help everyone else understand too.
Sara stops walking and points excitedly over the drystone wall into the field beyond.There,walking among the wandering sheep,is a lapwing,the official bird of the North Pennines.“They are brilliant,” Sara says,a smile across her face as she watches the small bird peck grass.Early spring marks the return of lapwings to Teesdale,where Sara’s family has lived for two decades.
Sara is out for one of her regular walks for inspiration,making drafts and mental notes to help her with her work.She specializes in making life-size bird sculptures out of wire,and some of her sculptures are installed on a nature road around Durham Wildlife Trust’s reserve at Low Barns near Bishop Auckland.
“It’s about drawing attention to certain birds,” she says,adding:“A lot of the birds I’ve made have been endangered or are on the red list.”
“I’m very conscious that the number of the birds coming up here is dropping.The environmental impact of what we do on birds is pretty severe,so anything I can do that makes people feel emotion or interest when they look at a sculpture is good for the environment.”
Sara has science degrees from Aberystwyth,Sheffield and Durham,including one in zoology.But she also has a lifelong love of art and a passion for creating things.Chirpy,one of the birds she made,recently spent a few weeks in London as part of the Royal Society of British Artists’ annual exhibition.
“It was an absolute treat to go down and they displayed him beautifully,” Sara says.“People said to me ‘Can you bear to let him go ’ and I was thinking,‘Yeah,absolutely,’because that’s the point of making these things.”
1.What can be learned about the lapwing
A.It is an unusually large-sized bird.
B.It has lived in Teesdale for 20 years.
C.It is the favorite pet of Sara’s family.
D.It flies back to Teesdale in early spring.
2.Why does Sara go for walks in the countryside
A.To enjoy nature and relax with her family.
B.To study the behavior of birds for her research.
C.To observe birds and gather ideas for her creation.
D.To count the number of lapwings returning in spring.
3.What does the exhibition of Chirpy in London indicate
A.Sara’s efforts to get her message across widely.
B.Sara’s desire to commercialize endangered bird art.
C.Sara’s attempt to boost her personal influence in art.
D.Sara’s preference for displaying works in an urban gallery.
4.Which of the following can be the best title
A.Why an artist concentrates on making wire birds
B.Why bird populations are increasingly decreasing
C.How wire sculptures inspire wildlife appreciation
D.How a scientist hopes her art will help save birds
B(2025福建厦门四模)
As more and more reptilian(爬行类的) species are threatened by habitat loss,scientists and conservationists say that recognizing reptiles’ capacity for emotion can help pet owners and policymakers alike take better care of them.
When you hear the words “reptilian” or “cold-blooded”,the first thing that comes to mind might be an uncaring boss.That’s because for decades,reptiles have been characterized as cold and emotionless creatures.But scientists agree that they’re misunderstood.
This misbelief largely arises from the concept of the “reptilian brain”.The term refers to the parts of the human brain that we use for survival instincts(直觉).According to this misconception,the human brain evolved over time by adding progressively more complicated structures to this fundamental “reptilian brain”,including the limbic system,which is the source of our emotions.Some researchers long believed that without human-like brain structures,reptiles didn’t have the capacity for emotions at all.
Still,scientists have consistently disproven this theory.One study found that handling lizards caused an increase in their heart rate,indicating an emotional response.Another found that redfooted tortoises exhibited anxiety-like behavior when placed in a new environment.
Even as research continues to build,the stereotypes(刻板印象) around reptilian emotions remain.Some research has revealed part of the reason.In 2021,researchers found that lizards give out chemicals to communicate with each other,meaning they’re much harder to read than mammals.Humans are more likely to show sympathy for animals that share physical and emotional characteristics with us,which is why many people might have a deeper understanding of dogs and cats than of turtles,for instance.
Our tendency to dismiss reptiles isn’t just psychological—it’s impacted the level of habitat protections they’re afforded.Apodaca,a conservationist from Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy,says he’s noticed gaps in species recovery funding for reptiles vs.mammals,birds,and fish.However,he’s also noticed a huge increase in awareness of reptiles’ conservation needs—a development which could prove crucial to fighting habitat loss in the coming years.
5.What is a common misunderstanding about the reptile
A.They are threatened by habitat loss.
B.They are well attended by pet owners.
C.They are emotionally cold-blooded.
D.They are associated with uncaring people.
6.Which behaviour is managed by the “reptilian brain”
A.Jumping at a sudden noise.
B.Recalling a childhood memory.
C.Drawing a complicated mind-map.
D.Feeling anxious in a new environment.
7.What is a cause for the stereotypes about reptiles
A.They tend to release harmful chemicals.
B.They seldom interact within their species.
C.They show emotions differently from humans.
D.They have frightening physical characteristics.
8.What is Apodaca’s attitude to the present reptile protection
A.Hopeful. B.Satisfied.
C.Doubtful. D.Unconcerned.

Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在一个下雪天开车回家,发现了一只被困的兔子,在救兔子的过程中,火车驶过。作者的善良让自己不知不觉中得救了。
9.B 句意:通常我不会在那种天气开车,但我整个晚上都在参加特百惠的聚会,我太累了。根据下文“but I’d been at a Tupperware party all evening,and I was so exhausted”可知,那天开车是因为太累了,说明通常不会在那种天气开车。
10.A 句意:想要舒适地待在自己家里的愿望打败了我更好的判断力。根据下文“of my own home”以及上文提到作者参加聚会很累,说明想要回家舒适地待在家里。

12.B 句意:弯弯曲曲的乡间小路几乎看不见。根据上文“On a freezing winter night in Minnesota,heavy snow blanketed the roads.”可知,雪很大,弯弯曲曲的乡间小路几乎看不见。
13.A 句意:我的车的前灯几乎无法穿透浓雾。根据下文“the heavy fog”可知此处指车灯无法穿透浓雾,看不清路。
14.D 句意:当我慢慢前进时,我的前灯突然照到一只棕色的小兔子,就在它们能到达的最远的地方。上文提到车灯无法穿透浓雾,看不清路,推测作者只能缓慢前进。

17.C 句意:兔子的腿被夹子夹住了,它惊恐地瞪大了眼睛。根据上文“The rabbit’s leg was caught in a trap”可知,兔子被困,看到作者后惊恐地瞪大了眼睛。形容眼睛睁得大用wide。
18.B 句意:尽管冷得刺骨,我还是跪下来想把它弄出来,我麻木的手指在金属上挣扎。根据上文“I knelt down and worked to”可知,作者跪下来想要释放被困的兔子。
19.A 句意:尽管冷得刺骨,我还是跪下来想把它弄出来,我麻木的手指在金属上挣扎。根据上文“Despite the biting cold”可知,冷得刺骨,作者的手指不灵活,努力地想帮兔子挣脱金属。
20.C 句意:就在我放开兔子的时候,一列火车呼啸而过——它的黑影带着微弱的光线在浓雾中短暂地显现出来,只留下蒸汽。根据下文“its dark shape with faint light was briefly visible before disappearing into the heavy fog,leaving only the steam behind”可知,指一辆火车呼啸而过。
21.B 句意:我的心怦怦直跳,因为我意识到:如果我没有停下来,我的车就会停在那些隐藏的轨道上。上文“a train”提到有火车,说明作者的车可能会停在轨道上。
22.D 句意:兔子的困境在不知不觉中救了我的命。根据上文“The rabbit’s dilemma had”可知,作者是为了救出兔子从而得救的,即兔子的困境在不知不觉中救了作者的命。

24.an 考查冠词。句意:由《中国国家地理》主办的“中国野生动物影像年赛”一直是野生动物文献记录领域具有重要意义的一项活动。event是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,event是元音音素开头,故填an。
25.were selected 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:最近在北京举行的颁奖典礼上,从全球超过37,600份参赛作品中选出了17份出色的图片和视频,深深吸引了观众。图片和视频是被选择,由attracted可知句子时态是一般过去时,因此空格处用一般过去时的被动语态,which指代的先行词17 remarkable images and videos是复数,故填were selected。
26.themed 考查非谓语动词。句意:今年的比赛主题为“Spirituality of Mountains and Seas”,旨在提高公众对野生动物和生态保护的意识。句中谓语是aims,空格处用非谓语动词,theme和competition之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,作后置定语,故填themed。
27.entries 考查名词的复数。句意:在获奖作品中,Jia Haining团队关于黄河三角洲东方白鹳的作品引人注目。entry是可数名词,不止一个,因此空格处用复数,故填entries。
28.noticeably 考查词性转换。空格处用副词修饰动词短语stood out,故填noticeably。
29.diversity 考查名词。句意:他们精致的艺术品精美地展示了该地区的生态和谐和物种多样性。空格处用名词作宾语,故填diversity。

9.B 句意:通常我不会在那种天气开车,但我整个晚上都在参加特百惠的聚会,我太累了。根据下文“but I’d been at a Tupperware party all evening,and I was so exhausted”可知,那天开车是因为太累了,说明通常不会在那种天气开车。
