(2025·河南部分名校阶段性测试) An African penguin named Mr. Greedy died at Baltimore's Maryland Zoo last week at the age of 33, surpassing his species' median life expectancy of 18 years. His secret to longevity Fathering lots of penguins, apparently.
Zoo officials said that Mr. Greedy helped rebuild the penguin population at zoos across North America. Doing his part to promote the survival of his endangered species, he left behind 230 descendants (子孙) and five generations of offspring as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums African Penguin Species Survival Plan.
Mr. Greedy was put to death painlessly following an age-related decline in his health. Jen Kottyan, leader of the survival program, said in a statement, “It's tough to lose an animal who has been such a welcome presence at our zoo for three decades. This bird was incredibly important to the continued existence of African penguins throughout the world.”
Mr. Greedy also left behind his lifelong mate, Mrs. Greedy. Both birds hatched in 1991 and arrived at the Zoo the following year. The pair had been together since 1994, when they hit reproductive age. Mrs. Greedy is now the Zoo's oldest penguin. Mr. Greedy earned his name due to his stealing habit. He frequently stole nesting materials and food from others. Mrs. Greedy, who joined her partner in such behaviors, also lives up to her nickname.
In the wake of the loss of her partner, zookeepers are monitoring Mrs. Greedy's health. “Her behavior will determine what happens next，” Kottyan said. “On condition that she shows interest, the Zoo will pair her with a single male in the colony (群体) as a companion.”
The wild population of African penguins, native to South Africa and Namibia, has declined by 75% over the past 20 years, according to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, mostly due to the fact that they have great difficulty filling their stomachs. The species' numbers, once in the millions, have also dropped because of overfishing, human disturbance of nesting grounds, pollution and climate change.
1．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？(　　)
A．Mr. Greedy's reproductive ability.
B．Great contributions made by Mr. Greedy.
C．The number of Mr. Greedy's descendants.
D．The African Penguin Species Survival Plan.
答案：B　
解析：段落大意题。通读第二段可知，本段主要讲述Mr. Greedy所做出的贡献。故选B。
2．What will the Zoo do for Mrs. Greedy？(　　)
A．Return her to the wild.
B．Move her to another colony.
C．Accompany her day and night.
D．Find a partner for her if she likes.
答案：D　
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第五段中Kottyan所说的“On condition that she shows interest, the Zoo will pair her with a single male in the colony (群体) as a companion.(在她表现出兴趣的条件下，动物园会将她与群体中的一只雄性配对作为伴侣。)”可知，如果Mrs. Greedy愿意，马里兰动物园会为她找一个伴侣。故选D。
3．What's the leading cause of the decline of wild African penguins？(　　)
A．Rising sea levels.
B．Insufficient food supply.
C．Shortage of nesting grounds.
D．Worsening weather conditions.
答案：B　
解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“The wild population of African penguins, native to South Africa and Namibia, has declined by 75% over the past 20 years, according to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, mostly due to the fact that they have great difficulty filling their stomachs.”可知，原产于南非和纳米比亚的非洲企鹅的野生种群在过去的20年里减少了75%，主要是因为食物供应不足。故选B。
4．What can be known about Mr. Greedy from the text？(　　)
A．He died a natural death.
B．He used to commit thefts alone.
C．He was born and raised in the Zoo.
D．He was thought highly of by Kottyan.
答案：D　
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段中Kottyan所说的“It's tough to lose an animal who has been such a welcome presence at our zoo for three decades. This bird was incredibly important to the continued existence of African penguins throughout the world.”可知，Kottyan认为失去一只在该动物园受欢迎了三十年的动物是很痛苦的，这只鸟对非洲企鹅在世界各地的生存至关重要。由此可以推断，Kottyan对Mr. Greedy的评价很高。故选D。
B
(2025·郑州高三期中) During her work with grey squirrels, Lucia Jacobs wrote an article to the journal Natural History, describing how squirrels cache (贮藏)：
The squirrels performed perfectly from the first day. I was absorbed as I observed one of these tiny squirrels pick up a hazelnut for the first time, search intently for a suitable burying site, and then, with great interest, dig a hole, both paws flying, the nut firmly clenched between tiny teeth, with all the apparent confidence and success of a park squirrel burying its millionth peanut.
Caching is a very important aspect of squirrel life. Caches fall broadly into two categories: you can put all your eggs in one basket, so to speak, which we call larder caching; or you can scatter your valuables all over the place, which is scatter caching. Larder caching is less effort because everything is in one place and you can easily see how much you have left. The problem, however, is that if your cache is discovered by someone else, they can take everything and leave you with nothing. Scatter caching makes it less likely that you'd lose everything, but requires more effort to find suitable spots, dig all those holes and, more importantly, remember where you've put everything.
Have you ever been doing the spring cleaning and found a Christmas present you'd hidden for one of the kids Red and grey squirrels scatter caches and, given that a grey squirrel may cache some 3，000 nuts during a season, remembering where they all are when they're spread throughout the woodland is no__mean__feat. Some early work suggested that squirrels may not be too bothered about where they cached because their neighbours were family members and they therefore shared each other's caches. This is the so-called “Communal Cache Theory”．
More recently, however, Lucia Jacobs investigated this and found that neighbours weren't necessarily relatives and that squirrels moved nuts toward the center of their territories, grouped their caches, buried nuts further from their source when competitors were around and aggressively defended caches from would-be thieves. In other words, it was every squirrel for itself.
5．What impressed Jacobs most while observing tiny squirrels？(　　)
A．Their natural ability to cache.
B．Their strange eating behavior.
C．Their huge amounts of caches.
D．Their way of selecting caches.
答案：A　
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段可知，Jacobs注意到，小松鼠从一开始就对储藏食物的过程和动作非常熟练，其信心和成功率完全可以与公园里经验丰富的老松鼠相媲美，这一点(与生俱来的贮藏食物的本领)让Jacobs印象深刻。故选A。
6．Which is considered a disadvantage of “scatter caching”？(　　)
A．The caches won't last long enough.
B．It takes much effort to dig a bigger spot.
C．Some of the spots are nowhere to be found.
D．The caches are easily found by competitors.
答案：C　
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“Scatter caching makes it less likely that you'd lose everything, but requires more effort to find suitable spots, dig all those holes and, more importantly, remember where you've put everything.”可知，分散贮藏这种做法最大的缺点就是一段时间后松鼠很可能会忘记了它们的部分贮藏地点。故选C。
7．What does the underlined part “no mean feat” in Paragraph 4 mean？(　　)
A．A rare occurence. B．A great achievement.
C．A serious problem. D．A common phenomenon.
答案：B

1．答案：mastering　
解析：考查非谓语动词。介词of后面应用动名词形式作宾语，故填mastering。the job of doing sth.“做……的任务”。
2．答案：where　
解析：考查定语从句。本句中was是主句的谓语动词，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词workshop“作坊”，表地点，空后的句子成分完整，故用where引导。
3．答案：better　
解析：考查形容词比较级。此处暗指与当时的生活相比较，故用比较级形式，应填better。
4．答案：makers　
解析：考查名词复数。“one of＋名词复数”结构表示“……之一”。句子主语是Zhao，再由空后的“of this ornament (装饰)”可知，赵树宪这种装饰的“制作者”之一，故填名词maker的复数形式makers。
5．答案：is believed　
解析：考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。首先注意本句话的主语是The practice，而不是flowers，故谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。主语The practice和believe之间是被动关系，同时此处表示的是普遍情况，应用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is believed。
6．答案：and　
解析：考查连词。空处前后两句均成分完整，句子之间是顺承关系，故用and连接。
7．答案：to decorate　
解析：考查非谓语动词。此处是“It was＋形容词＋for sb.to do sth.”结构，表示“对于某人来说，做某事是……的”，不定式结构作真正的主语，故填to decorate。
8．答案：gradually　
解析：考查副词。空处修饰整个句子，在句中作状语，应用副词，故填gradually“逐渐地”。
9．答案：a　
解析：考查冠词。本句中blessing“祝福”是可数名词，其发音以辅音音素开头，此处表示泛指，故用不定冠词a来修饰。
10．答案：on　
解析：考查介词。on special occasions“在特殊的场合”为固定搭配，故填介词on。
