四、阅读理解
A
Since the rise in car ownership in the 1950s, the US has started building roads in cities and across the country
资料收集整理【淘宝店铺:向阳百分百】 9to provide enough room for automobiles. Houston, like many cities, is turning back the clock to make room for
passers-by, cyclists and parks.
Memorial Park in Houston, Texas was halved by the Memorial Drive Highway in the1950s. It has now been
reunited. The highway is still there, but the road goes underneath the 1,500-acre park.
The restoration (修复) of Memorial Park is part of a larger plan that was made after the city suffered from a
serious drought. It was thought that 80 percent of the forested canopy (树冠) was dead. One of the ways to fight
that was to reintroduce native plants and animals.
The city hired the landscape architectural company, Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects, to work with
the Houston parks and the Memorial Parks Conservancy. The architects, led by Woltz, were inspired by wildlife
crossings in the Northwest US and explored the possibility of using this idea in Memorial Park. Over the years,
the park was cut into 20 pieces that were divided by highways, roads and parking lots. The only crossing was a
12-foot bridge.
After 10 years of planning and constructing, the Kinder Land Bridge officially opened in early February,
2023. The bridge consists of 100 acres of greenery, and while designed for people, has reconnected wildlife
corridors (廊道). The reconstruction added 45 acres of native Gulf Coast prairie (草原) that’ll increase
biodiversity in the park. “This project is not just about creating a passage or a bridge. This project is about
ecology, it’s about biodiversity and water management. This project is a bridge into Houston’s future.” said
Shellye Arnold, president of the Memorial Park Conservancy.
51.What led to the restoration of the Memorial Park?
A.A company’s suggestion. B.A terrible natural disaster.
C.The demand from the public. D.The recovery of native plants.
52.How did wildlife crossings in the Northwest US affect the architects?
A.They knew how to restore the Memorial Park.
B.They got the inspiration for rescuing animals.
C.They gained a sense of achievement for working.
D.They developed a new way to protect the landscape.
53.What do we know about the Kinder Land Bridge from the text?
A.It is about 12 feet in length. B.Its aim is to save water.
C.It benefits the wild animals. D.Its birth is a short process.
54.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.A Highway Connects a Park in Houston
B.The Importance of Building Land Bridges

Hundreds of millions of birds die every year from crashing into windows, one of the biggest sources of
human-caused bird deaths — far greater than wind turbines (涡轮) and airplane strikes put together. In an attempt
to help birds see the windows before it’s too late, people may stick decals (贴纸) or coloured films on their
windows — often on the indoor side.But a recent study challenges the effectiveness of this practice.
“Putting these window films on the inside really is not giving you the benefit that you would want for
protecting the birds,” says John P. Swaddle, lead author of the new study.
To test the films’ effectiveness, Swaddle and his colleagues applied one of two commercially available (可获
得的) films to either inside or outside window surfaces. One film reflected shorter light wavelengths that humans
cannot see, and the other reflected longer wavelengths (many birds can see both). The researchers also fixed
super-fine nets in front of the windows to keep birds from actually hitting the glass. Both films helped to prevent
bird strikes by more than 35 percent when put on the outside surface, the study found — but films on the inside
had no benefit at all.
“It’s some groundbreaking work about the differences of what can and can’t work in terms of preventing
window strikes from birds,” says George Mason University biologist David Luther.
People usually find it much easier to put films or decals on the indoor side of a window, says Natalia
Ocampo-Penuela, a conservation ecologist. For taller buildings, to apply something to the outside, “you need
scaffolding (脚手架)...you need to clean the windows extra well for them to apply correctly, and they don’t last as
long.”
Swaddle assumes that films placed on the inside don’t effectively stop the reflection of outside light. This
might also be the case with decals, although those were not tested in this study, he says.
55.What’s the main killer for human-caused bird death?
A.Wind turbines. B.Air pollution.
C.Window strikes. D.Airplane crashes.
56.According to Swaddle’s test, which factor is significant in preventing bird strikes?
A.Types of films.
B.Availability of films.
C.Places to put films.
D.Wavelengths films reflected.
57.What is David Luther’s attitude towards the study?
资料收集整理【淘宝店铺:向阳百分百】 11A.Doubtful. B.Positive.
C.Unclear. D.Confused.
58.What’s paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.How long the films will last when put correctly.
B.What is needed to clean the windows completely.
C.How people apply films to the outside of buildings.
D.Why people choose to place films inside the window.

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了休斯敦正在倒转时间,为行人、骑自行车的人和公园腾出
空间,举例了休斯敦的纪念公园被纪念的修复。该公园在修复中最具有创意的生态想法是其一座桥的建
设,即一条野生动物走廊。这座桥由100英亩的绿地组成,虽然是为人类设计的,但它重新连接了野生
动物走廊。
51.细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“The restoration of Memorial Park is part of a larger plan that was
made after the city suffered from a serious drought.(纪念公园的修复是该市遭受严重干旱后制定的更大计划的
一部分。)”可知,严重的干旱促使了纪念公园的修复,即,自然灾害促成了公园的修复。故选B项。
52.细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“The architects, led by Woltz, were inspired by wildlife crossings in
the Northwest US and explored the possibility of using this idea in Memorial Park.(由Woltz领导的建筑师受到
美国西北部野生动物过境廊道的启发,并探索了在纪念公园中使用这一想法的可能性。)”可知,野生动物
过境廊道给了建筑师们启发,使他们探索在纪念公园使用野生动物过境廊道的可能性。因此可知,野生
动物过境廊道的影响在于使建筑师在如何修复纪念公园方面有了认知。故选A项。
53.推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“The bridge consists of 100 acres of greenery, and while designed for
people, has reconnected wildlife corridors.(这座桥由100英亩的绿地组成,虽然是为人类设计的,但它重新
连接了野生动物走廊。)”可知,这座桥重新连接了野生动物走廊,因此可推知,它对动物是有益的。故选
C项。
54.主旨大意题。通读文章可知,文章末尾段内容“This project is not just about creating a passage or a
bridge. This project is about ecology, it’s about biodiversity and water management. This project is a bridge into
Houston’s future.(这个项目不仅仅是建造一条通道或一座桥梁。这个项目是关于生态的,是关于生物多样
性和水资源管理的。这个项目是通往休斯敦未来的桥梁。)”点明了文章的主旨要义,即,文章主要讲述了
休斯敦的一项有着新的理念去体现生态,生物多样性和水资源管理的公园修复项目。选项D“Houston
Creates a Creative Way to Restore Nature(休斯敦创造了一种创造性的方式来恢复自然)”贴合主旨。故选D
项。

为了帮助鸟儿及时看到窗户,人们通常会在窗户室内一侧贴纸或彩色薄膜,然而,最近的一项研究对这
种做法的有效性提出了质疑。研究发现,将膜贴在窗户玻璃外表面可以防止鸟类撞击窗户的发生,但贴
在室内则没有任何效果。
55.细节理解题。根据第一段“Hundreds of millions of birds die every year from crashing into windows, one
of the biggest sources of human-caused bird deaths — far greater than wind turbines (涡轮) and airplane strikes
put together. (每年有数亿只鸟因撞到窗户而死亡,这是人类造成鸟类死亡的最大原因之一,远远超过风力
涡轮机和飞机撞击的总和。)”可知,鸟因撞到窗户而死亡是人类造成鸟类死亡的最大原因之一,撞到窗户
而死亡的鸟的数量比因风力涡轮机和飞机撞击而死亡的数量总和还要多得多;由此可知,撞击窗户是人
类造成鸟类死亡的主要杀手。故选C。
56.推理判断题。根据第三段中“To test the films’ effectiveness, Swaddle and his colleagues applied one of
two commercially available (可获得的) films to either inside or outside window surfaces. One film reflected
shorter light wavelengths that humans cannot see, and the other reflected longer wavelengths (many birds can see
both). The researchers also fixed super-fine nets in front of the windows to keep birds from actually hitting the
glass. (为了测试薄膜的有效性,Swaddle和他的同事将两种商用薄膜中的一种贴在窗户里面或外面。一种
薄膜反射的是人类看不见的较短波长,另一部则反射的是较长波长(许多鸟类都能看到)。研究人员还
在窗户前固定了超细的网,以防止鸟类真正撞击玻璃。研究发现,这两种薄膜贴在窗户玻璃外表面有助
于防止35%以上的鸟类撞击,但贴在里面的薄膜根本没有任何益处。)”可知,在Swaddle的试验中,薄膜
贴在窗户玻璃外面有助于防止35%以上的鸟类撞击,而把薄膜贴在里面则根本不起作用;由此可知,在
Swaddle的试验中,薄膜所贴的位置是非常重要的。故选C。
57.推理判断题。根据第四段“‘It’s some groundbreaking work about the differences of what can and can’t
work in terms of preventing window strikes from birds,’ says George Mason University biologist David Luther.
(乔治梅森大学的生物学家David Luther说:‘这是一项开创性的工作,研究了在防止鸟类撞击窗户方面,
什么能起作用,什么不能起作用。’)”可知,David Luther认为这项研究是一项具有开创性的工作,它研
究了防止鸟类撞击窗户方面什么样的措施才是有效的;由此可知,David Luther对这项研究是持肯定态度
的。故选B。
58.主旨大意题。根据第五段“People usually find it much easier to put films or decals on the indoor side of a
window, says Natalia Ocampo-Penuela, a conservation ecologist. For taller buildings, to apply something to the
outside, ‘you need scaffolding (脚手架)...you need to clean the windows extra well for them to apply correctly,
and they don’t last as long.’ (保护生态学家Natalia Ocampo-Penuela说,人们通常发现在窗户的室内一面贴
上薄膜或贴纸要容易得多。对于更高的建筑来说,要在外面应用一些东西,‘你需要脚手架……你需要
资料收集整理【淘宝店铺:向阳百分百】 13把窗户擦得特别干净,这样才能贴好,而且它们不会持续很长时间。’)”可知,本段引用保护生态学家
Natalia Ocampo-Penuela所说的话,说明人类把薄膜贴在窗户玻璃里面要容易得多,而贴在窗户玻璃外面
难度较大,而且贴在外面的薄膜持续时间也要短得多;由此可知,第5段主要阐述人们通常把薄膜贴在
窗户里面的原因。D选项“Why people choose to place films inside the window.(为什么人们选择把膜贴在窗
户里面。)”能够概括本段主旨。故选D。
五、七选五
The current population of oysters (牡蛎) is only a small part of their historic levels. 59 . To help
maintain existing habitats, the state requires licenses for the harvesting of shellfish and controls where and when
the harvesting activity can take place. South Carolina’s Department of Natural Resources has also planned to
recycle and replant oyster shells.
60 . They serve as anchors to which babies can attach themselves. Returning shells to the state’s
rivers ensures that any larvae (幼虫) looking for a home can find something to which they can be attached.
The critical nature of oysters in the ecosystem is difficult to overstate. Along the Atlantic shoreline of the
United States, the Eastern Oyster is considered a foundation species. Oysters gather together as part of their
natural life cycle, forming reefs that provide the habitat for fish, crabs, and other small ocean creatures. 61
.
In addition to being the bedrock of many underwater communities, oysters also help maintain the cleanliness
of South Carolina’s coastal waters. Dirty water comes in from the ocean and gets filtered by oysters. Water goes
back out cleanly. 62 . Tourists want to go to beautiful and clean beaches, come out on boat trips, and see
dolphins.
South Carolina is working hard to rebuild coastal reefs that will support and sustain future oyster
populations. It’s worth keeping in mind that every shell removed from the river could be the base for the next
year’s new oysters. 63 , it’s going to be a long time before we get enough recruitment (增长) in the
oyster population to keep it sustainable.
A.Once we lose that natural shell base
B.These little tiny fish need somewhere to hide
C.Because it is important to recycle the oyster shells
D.Even the local tourism industry relies on this effect of oysters
E.The best place to settle is going to be where there are adult oysters
F.South Carolina is actively working to restore and sustain its wild oysters
G.Oyster shells, both live and dead, provide the main habitat for the next generation
59.F 60.G 61.B 62.D 63.A
答案第14页,共2页【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了当前牡蛎的数量大量减少,鉴于牡蛎的作用,South Carolina寻
求保护牡蛎的措施,以增长牡蛎数量。
59.根据空后的“To help maintain existing habitats, the state requires licenses for the harvesting of shellfish
and controls where and when the harvesting activity can take place.(为了帮助维持现有的栖息地,该州要求获
得捕捞贝类的许可证,并控制捕捞活动的地点和时间。)”可知,为保护牡蛎的栖息地,某州作出了一些具
体的要求;由the state可知,此空处应出现the state相关的内容,F选项“South Carolina is actively
working to restore and sustain its wild oysters(南卡罗来纳州正在积极恢复和维持其野生牡蛎)”中的South
Carolina为空后the state,且与空后内容吻合。故选F项。
60.根据空后的“They serve as anchors to which babies can attach themselves. Returning shells to the state’s
rivers ensures that any larvae (幼虫) looking for a home can find something to which they can be attached.(它们
充当锚,牡蛎幼虫可以把自己固定在上面。将贝壳放回该州的河流中,可以确保任何寻找家园的幼虫都
能找到可以依附的东西。)”可知,此处讲述的是贝壳对繁育后代的重要性,G选项“Oyster shells, both
live and dead, provide the main habitat for the next generation(活的和死的牡蛎壳为下一代提供了主要的栖息
地)”内容概括了本段主题,其中的Oyster shells与空后的they所指内容一致。故选G项。
61.根据空前的“Oysters gather together as part of their natural life cycle, forming reefs that provide the habitat
for fish, crabs, and other small ocean creatures.(作为自然生命周期的一部分,牡蛎会聚集在一起,形成珊瑚
礁,为鱼类、螃蟹和其他小型海洋生物提供栖息地。)”可知,牡蛎为一些小的海洋生物提供了栖息场所,
B选项“These little tiny fish need somewhere to hide(这些小鱼需要找个地方躲起来)”符合题意,选项中的
these little tiny fish与空后的other small ocean creatures吻合。故选B项。
62.根据空后的“Tourists want to go to beautiful and clean beaches, come out on boat trips, and see dolphins.
(游客们想去美丽干净的海滩,乘船旅行,看海豚。)”可知,此处讲述的是游客们的需求,由此可知,空
处讲述的内容与牡蛎与旅游业发展相关,D选项“Even the local tourism industry relies on this effect of
oysters(甚至当地的旅游业也依赖牡蛎的这种影响)”讲述的是牡蛎对当地旅游业的影响,内容与空后内容
一致。故选D项。
63.分析该空所在句子结构可知,逗号后“it’s going to be a long time before we get enough recruitment (增
长) in the oyster population to keep it sustainable.(我们还需要很长一段时间才能增长足够的牡蛎的数量来保
持它的可持续发展。)”讲述的是牡蛎数量增长要很长时间,且空后是一个完整的句子,所以此空处应为带
有连词的句子,或短语,A选项“Once we lose that natural shell base(一旦失去了天然的壳基)”为连词once
引导的状语从句,且内容与空后内容衔接。故选A项。

working for him as an assistant. He later asked her to study a group of chimpanzees 69 (live) by a lake
in Tanzania. Very little was known about wild chimpanzees at that time.
Jane spent many years studying chimpanzees 70 this area of Africa. It was no easy work. They
were very shy 71 would run away when she came near. She learned to watch them from far away using
binoculars (双筒望远镜). Over time, she slowly gained 72 (they) trust. Watching the chimpanzees, she
made many discoveries. They ate vegetables and fruit. But she found that they also ate meat. A few weeks later,
she made an even more 73 (surprise) discovery. She saw chimpanzees making and using tools to help
them catch insects.

their furs and skins to make profits. Besides, the habitats of the animals are being destroyed, making their
population decrease rapidly.
As students, we should prevent people from killing them.What’s more, we mustn’t buy things made of these
endangered animals.As the saying goes,“No buying, no killing.”
Only by living in harmony with animals can the earth become a good place to live on.
