A.Thewhale’srichoilB.Thepanda’sblackandwhitepatchedcoatC.Therhinohornandtigers’bonesandorgansD.Thedodo’sdeliciousmeat【解析】选C。细微环节理解题。文章第三段和最终一段提到犀牛角和虎骨及其器官均可入药。23.Whichofthefollowingismentionedinallthedescriptionsofthosewildanimals?A.Thewayoftheirlife.B.Thereasonfortheirextinctionorbeingindanger.C.Whytheyarehunted.D.Punishmentforhuntingwildanimals.【解析】选B。细微环节理解题。对四种野生动物的介绍,内容不尽相同,但有一点是相同的,即:对动物灭亡或面临灭亡的缘由的探究。B(2024·潍坊高二检测)Whenbabyturtlesfirstcomeoutofeggs,theyheadtotheseabynature.Thebeachsurfacegoesdown,whichisonedirectionalcluetheyfollow.Anotherislight:Thehorizon(地平线)overtheseaisbrighterthanthehorizonoverland.Butlightsfromtownsandbeachdevelopmentscanconfusethebabyturtles.Theskyshiningaboveacitycanmisleadthemtowander.Andparticularlybrightlightscandrawthemawayfromthesea.You’dthinktheextratimecrawling(爬行)mightwearoutbabyturtles,whichneedenergyoncetheygetinthewatertoswimforaboutadaytogettotheirdestinationinthesea.Inanormaltripfromneststowaves,thebabiesbuildupchemicalsthatshowtheyhavebeenpushingthemselves.Someresearcherstookthebabyturtlestoalab,wheretheyranonatreadmillandswaminatankwhiletheirbloodandbreathingweremonitored.Thefindingissurprising:evenafterhoursofcrawling,theturtleswerefinebyallmeasuresandswamaswellasturtlesthatdidn’thaveanextracrawlingperiod.ThereasonisthattheyoftenstopwhilecrawlingiftheyaredoingUforalongtime,unlikethedisturbedtriptheymakewhenheadingstraighttothewater.Somisledturtlesarenotwornout.Butthemisleadinglightsarestillaproblemforthebabies.Thelongertheyspendonthebeachwandering,themoretheyareexposedtonaturalenemies.Theycanalsoenduplosingtheirlivesintheheatofthesun.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲解并描述了小乌龟诞生后自然就会奔向海洋。海滩表面和光线是它们前进的指示,在进入海洋的过程中它们有时会处于危急之中。24.Whatattractsthebabyturtlesawayfromthesea?A.Brightlights.B.Vastbeaches.C.Buildingsincities. D.Noisesfromtowns.【解析】选A。细微环节理解题。依据其次段中的“Theskyshiningaboveacitycanmisleadthemtowander.Andparticularlybrightlightscandrawthemawayfromthesea.”可知,光明的灯光会吸引它们离开大海。故选A。25.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“they”refertoinparagraph3?A.Chemicals. B.Nests.C.Waves. D.Babyturtles.【解析】选D。词义揣测题。依据第三段中的“You’dthinktheextratime...theirdestinationinthesea.”可知,额外的爬行可能会使小乌龟精疲力竭,它们须要能量使自己进入水中游大约一天的时间到达目的地。因此画线词they指的是小乌龟。故选D。26.Whydon’tthebabyturtlesfeelexhaustedafterlongcrawling?A.Theytravelbynight.B.Theirtripisundisturbed.C.Theytakefrequentbreaks.D.Theyarerefreshedbycitylights.【解析】选C。推理推断题。依据倒数其次段中的“ThereasonisthattheyoftenstopwhilecrawlingiftheyaredoingUforalongtime,...Somisledturtlesarenotwornout.”可知,假如小乌龟长时间地以U形路途移动,它们常常会在爬行时停下来。因此它们不会感到乏累。故选C。27.Whatmayhappentothebabyturtlesexposedtomisleadinglights?A.Theyareingreatdanger.B.Theyavoidtheirnaturalenemies.C.Theywillwanderonthebeachforawhile.D.Theyaremorelikelytofindthedestination.【解析】选A。推理推断题。依据最终一段中的“Butthemisleadinglightsarestill...intheheatofthesun.”可知,对于小乌龟来说,误导性的灯光仍旧是一个问题。它们在海滩上的时间越长就越简单受到天敌的损害。它们还可能最终在阳光下失去生命。因此暴露于误导性光照下的小乌龟会处于极大的危急中。故选A。C(2024·平顶山高二检测)Atleast200elephantshavediedinHwangeNationalPark,Zimbabweinthepasttwomonthsduetoaseriousdrought(干旱)inthecountry.NationalParksandWildlifeManagementAuthorityspokesmanTinasheFarawotoldTheAssociatedPress.Otheranimals,includinggiraffes,zebras,hipposandbuffaloesarealsodyingduetothedrought.“Thesituationcannotimproveuntilitrains,”Farawosaid.“Almosteveryanimalisbeingaffected,”Farawosaid.“Ofcourse,elephantsareeasilynoticed,butsomebirdspeciesareseriouslyaffectedbecausetheycanonlybreed(繁殖)incertaintreeheightsandthosetreesarebeingknockeddownbyelephants.”“Inadesperateattempttolocatefoodandwater,animalshavecomeintheparkandnearbycommunities,threateninghumanpopulationsaswell.Thirty-threepeoplehavediedbecauseoftheseanimalsthisyear,”theparksaid.“Sixhundredelephantsandtwolionprideswillbemovedtolesscrowdedparks.Apackofwilddogs,50buffaloes,40giraffesand2,000impalaswillalsoberelocated,”Farawosaid.“Theanimalshaveexceededtheirecologicalcarryingcapacity(生态承载力),”headded.“Ifthepopulationsgounchecked,theanimalswillthreatentheveryecosystemtheydependonforsurvival.”Typically,parkleadersfollowapolicyofnotintervening(干预)tohelptheanimals,butthehardconditionshavepersuadedthemotherwise.Fearingmoredeathsbeforetherainyseason,theyhavestartedbringinginfoodtohelptheanimals,whichusuallyrelyonnaturalvegetation.“Weusedtosaynatureshouldtakeitscourse,”saidwildlifeofficerMunyaradziDzoro.“Wearenowforcedtointervene.Wearenotsurewhenandhowwewillreceivetherain.Toavoidlosinganimals,wehavetointervenetomaintainpopulationsizes.Inadditiontoalackoffoodandwater,muddypondshaveturnedintodeathtrapsfortheanimals.Manyhavegottenstuckintheclay(泥土)whileattemptingtoreachLongPool,thepark’slargestwateringhole,whichhasshrunkto5%ofitsnormalsize,theAssociatedPressreports.Thedroughthasaffectedanestimated11millionpeople,accordingtotheWorldFoodProgram,whichisplanninglarge-scalefooddistribution.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了津巴布韦的干旱已经造成大量野生动物的死亡,也将影响人类的生活。28.Whyaresomebirdspeciesbeingaffected?A.Theycan’tfindenoughfoodandwater.B.Theylosemanyproperbreedingplaces.C.Theyareoftenkilledbybiglandanimals.D.Theybecomeilleasilybecauseofotheranimals’death.【解析】选B。细微环节理解题。依据其次段中的“Ofcourse,elephantsareeasilynoticed,butsomebirdspeciesareseriouslyaffectedbecausetheycanonlybreedincertaintreeheightsandthosetreesarebeingknockeddownbyelephants.”可知:当然,大象很简单被留意到,但一些鸟类受到了严峻的影响,因为它们只能在肯定的树高繁殖,而这些树正被大象推倒。由此可知,由于大象正在把适合鸟类筑巢繁殖的大树推倒,所以一些鸟类正受到影响。故选B。29.Whatmeasurewillbetakentoimprovetheserioussituation?A.Buildingfencesbetweentheparkandnearbycommunities.B.Killingtheanimalswhichwentintohumancommunities.C.Providingenoughwaterfortheanimalsinthepark.D.Movingsomeanimalstolesscrowdedplaces.【解析】选D。细微环节理解题。依据第四段内容可知,600头大象和两个狮群将被转移到其他不太拥挤的公园,一群野狗以及其他很多动物也都要被迁到其他地方。D选项Movingsomeanimalstolesscrowdedplaces.(把一些动物转移到不太拥挤的地方)是正在实行的措施。故选D。30.WhatdidFarawothinkisthebasisforthesurvivalofanimals?A.Ahealthyecosystem.B.Apolicyofnotintervening.C.Largepopulationsofanimals.D.Limitedecologicalcarryingcapacity.【解析】选A。推理推断题。依据第五段中的“Ifthepopulationsgounchecked,theanimalswillthreatentheveryecosystemtheydependonforsurvival.”可知,假如动物数量不加以限制,它们就会威逼到它们赖以生存的生态系统。由此推知,Farawo认为健康的生态系统是动物生存的基础。故选A。31.Muddypondshavebecomedeadlytotheanimalsbecause______.

A.theirclayisveryattractiveB.muchoftheirwaterisgoneC.theyhavebecomemuchdeeperD.thereismuchfoodintheirwater【解析】选B。推理推断题。依据倒数其次段可知,据美联社报道,很多动物在试图到达公园最大的水坑长潭时被卡在了黏土里,长潭已经缩小到正常大小的5%。由此可知,由于干旱,池塘里的水几乎消逝殆尽,很多动物须要踩着淤泥去喝剩下的水,这会导致它们陷入淤泥而无法脱身,这使得泥泞的池塘对动物来说是致命的。故选B。DWithonlyabout1,000pandasleftintheworld,Chinaisdesperatelytryingtoclone(克隆)theanimalandsavetheendangeredspecies(物种).That’samovesimilartowhataTexasA&MUniversityresearchershavebeenundertakingforthepastfiveyearsinaprojectcalled“Noah’sArk”.Noah’sArkisaimedatcollectingeggs,embryos(胚胎),semenandDNAofendangeredanimalsandstoringtheminliquidnitrogen.Ifcertainspeciesshouldbecomeextinct,Dr.DuaneKraemer,aprofessorinTexasA&M’sCollegeofVeterinaryMedicine,saystherewouldbeenoughofthebasicbuildingblockstoreintroducethespeciesinthefuture.Itisestimatedthatasmanyas2,000speciesofmammals,birdsreptileswillbecomeextinctinover100years.Thepanda,nativeonlytoChina,isindangerofbecomingextinctinthenext25years.Thisweek,ChinesescientistssaidtheygrewanembryobyintroducingcellsfromadeadfemalepandaintotheeggcellsofaJapanesewhiterabbit.Theyarenowtryingtoimplanttheembryointoahostanimal.Theentireprocedurecouldtakefromthreetofiveyearstocomplete.“Thenucleartransfer(核子移植)ofonespeciestoanotherisnoteasy,andthelackofavailable(capableofbeingused)pandaeggscouldbeamajorproblem,”Kraemerbelieves.“Theywillprobablyhavetodoseveralhundredtransferstoresultinonepregnancy(havingababy).Ittakesalongtimeandisdifficult,butthiscouldbegroundbreakingscienceifitworks.Theyarecertainlynotputtinganylivepandasatrisk,soitisworththeeffort,”addsKraemer,whoisoneoftheleadersoftheProjectatTexasA&M,thefirst-everattemptatcloningadog.“Theyaretryingtodosomethingthat’sneverbeendone,andthisisverysimilartoourworkinNoah’sArk.We’rebothtryingtosaveanimalsthatfaceextinction.Icertainlyappreciatetheireffortandthere’salotwecanlearnfromwhattheyareattemptingtodo.It’saresearchthatisverymuchneeded.”【文章大意】本文是一篇科普说明文,中国科学家始终在探讨如何提高克隆技术来爱护大熊猫,以及这种技术运用的可能性。文章还介绍了爱护物种的“诺亚方舟”的相关信息。32.Theaimof“Noah’sArk”projectisto______.

A.makeeffortstoclonetheendangeredpandasB.saveendangeredanimalsfromdyingoutC.collectDNAofendangeredanimalstostudyD.transferthenuclearofoneanimaltoanother【解析】选B。推理推断题。依据其次段其次句“Ifcertainspeciesshouldbecomeextinct,Dr.DuaneKraemer,aprofessorinTexasA&M’sCollegeofVeterinaryMedicine,saystherewouldbeenoughofthebasicbuildingblockstoreintroducethespeciesinthefuture.”可知当某个物种要灭亡的时候,人们就用保存好的细胞重新把这个物种生产出来。说明这个项目的目的是挽救濒危物种不要灭亡的。故B项正确。33.AccordingtoProfessorKraemer,themajorproblemincloningpandaswouldbethelackof______.

A.availablepandaeggsB.hostanimalsC.qualifiedresearchersD.enoughmoney【解析】选A。细微环节理解题。依据第六段第一句“Thenucleartransfer(核子移植)ofonespeciestoanotherisnoteasy,andthelackofavailable(capableofbeingused)pandaeggscouldbeamajorproblem,”Kraemerbelieves.可知核子移植很难,但缺少能被运用的熊猫蛋是一个主要的问题。故A项正确。34.Thebesttitleforthepassagemaybe______.

A.China’sSuccessinPandasCloningB.TheFirstClonedPandaintheWorldC.ExploringthePossibilitytoClonePandasD.China—theNativePlaceofPandasForever【解析】选C。主旨大意题。依据文章第一段可知本文主要介绍科学家如何提高克隆技术来爱护大熊猫,以及这种技术运用的可能性,故C项正确。35.Fromthepassageweknowthat______.

A.KraemerandhisteamhavesucceededincloningadogB.scientiststrytoimplantapanda’seggintoarabbitC.KraemerwillworkwithChinesescientistsincloneresearchesD.abouttwothousandofspecieswillprobablydieoutinacentury【解析】选D。细微环节理解题。依据第三段第一句“Itisestimatedthatasmanyas2,000speciesofmammals,birdsreptileswillbecomeextinctinover100years.”可知据估计100年以后大约2000个物种可能会灭亡。故D项正确。其次节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)依据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。Penguinsareflightlessbirdsthatspendhalftheirtimeonlandandhalfinthewater.36Theyhavedarkandwhitefeathers,andtheirwingshaveevolvedintoflippers(脚蹼).Mostpenguinsfeedonfish,squidandotherformsofsealifecaughtwhileswimming.

【文章大意】面对一些传统的思想观念,是选择一味地坚持还是放弃?本文通过两个事例说明,一味地固守旧观念可能会夺去一个人的生命。41.A.distinction
