With their long necks and spotted coats, giraffes are among Africa’s most breathtaking animals. For decades, scientists believed that all giraffes belonged to a single species. A 2025 report from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) now overturns that idea, recognizing four separate species: Northern, reticulated, Masai and Southern. Each group is considered distinct because its members share unique genes and can produce healthy offspring (后代) only within the group.
The change is the fruit of a giant data project led by IUCN researcher Michael Brown. Over the past decade, teams collected more than 2,000 DNA samples across Africa and compared skull (头骨) measurements. Genes showed clear molecular (分子的) gaps among the four groups, while bumps on the skull differed in shape: Northern giraffes have tall bumps; Southern giraffes have low, wide ones. Rivers and valleys acted as natural barriers, keeping populations apart long enough for these differences to develop.
Separating giraffes is not just academic. Northern giraffes, living in parts of Congo, South Sudan and the Central African Republic, suffer heavy poaching — the illegal hunting and killing of wild animals. Masai giraffes in Kenya and Tanzania lose their savanna (热带草原) habitat to cattle grassland and farmland. Reticulated and Southern giraffes face smaller but still worrying pressures. “Each species has different population sizes, threats and conservation needs,” Mr Brown notes, so separating them is essential if we want to protect them effectively.
The latest numbers make that need urgent (紧急的). About 7,000 Northern giraffes remain, making them one of the most threatened large mammals on Earth. Roughly 21,000 reticulated and 44,000 Masai giraffes are left, while Southern giraffes total around 69,000. “If not all giraffes are the same, we have to protect them individually,” says Stephanie Fennessy of the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. Recognizing four species is the first step toward ensuring that each group — and its unique evolutionary (进化的) heritage — survives for future generations.
To help the public understand these findings, the IUCN plans to launch educational programs in schools and museums. By teaching children why each giraffe species matters, researchers hope to build support for conservation efforts. After all, saving giraffes means saving the African savanna itself.
24. What old idea did the 2025 IUCN report change
A. Africa has only one giraffe species.
B. Skull size is more useful than genes.
C. Spot shapes decide the whole classification.
D Giraffe diversity has no impact on their future.
25. How did the researchers set the four species apart
A. By height and neck length.
B. By spots and colours alone.
C. By their food and water sources.
D. By genes, skull shape, and location.
26. Which of these situations does the underlined word “poaching” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. A guard shoots a giraffe to protect village crops.
B. A tourist photographs a giraffe with a long-lens camera.
C. A hunter kills a giraffe at night to sell its tail as a souvenir.
D. A scientist takes a small blood sample of a giraffe for DNA study.
27. Why does the writer list the data of each giraffe species in paragraph 4
A. To describe the different spot patterns of each species.
B. To argue that counting total giraffes is enough for setting standards.
C. To prove that separating the four species is necessary for protection.
D. To show that Southern giraffes can make up for the other three groups.
C
Douyin influencer Chen Jifang aged 70 has significantly received 3 million likes for her exercise video clips.
For Chen, her passion for exercising was born out of a need instead of a desire to become famous. According to Chen, her health had been poor and she even had to give up her job after giving birth to her daughter because her health was severely affected by the pregnancy (孕期). In 2018, following a physical examination, Chen was diagnosed (诊断) with a series of health issues. The doctor suggested that she exercise more to prevent her already poor health from getting worse. Therefore, an overweight Chen started with light jogging, but a fitness coach later advised her to improve her size and her knee before running. Because of this, Chen entered a gym for the first time on Dec 29, 2018. Then she hit the gym every day in 2019.
While most people would be concerned about having an elderly family member participate in such hard physical exercise in the gym, it doesn’t bother Chen. Her husband shows his support by doing most of the housework. Her daughter, on the other hand, helps to pick her gym wear.
Chen may be a star in her own right, but she is also just one of many senior citizens in China’s major cities who are accepting exercise enthusiastically. According to a 2019 Cheetah Mobile report on the fitness behavior of the elderly, nearly 90 percent of such people in China have fitness habits while 66.4 percent of them exercise almost every day. The report also notes that the traditional means for the elderly to stay fit, such as square dancing and tai chi, have been unable to meet the new needs of the fitness-addicted elderly population.
28. Why did Chen Jifang start to exercise at first
A. To become a Douyin influencer.
B. To improve her poor health.
C. To follow the fitness coach’s advice.
D. To meet the new needs of the elderly.
29. What helps Chen stick to her exercise
A. Suggestions from the coach.
B. Concerns about being old.
C. Eagerness to impress people.
D. Encouragement from her family.
30. What can we infer about elderly fitness in China’s big cities
A. Elderly people have abandoned traditional fitness ways.
B. More elderly people are willing to try new fitness methods.
C. Fitness coaches are specially trained to serve elderly people.
D. The government has taken measures to support elderly fitness.
31. What’s the main idea of the text
A. 70-year-old woman becomes a fitness influencer on Douyin.
B. How to keep healthy for the elderly in modern society.
C An elderly woman’s fitness story reflects a social trend.
D. The traditional fitness ways for the elderly are changing.
D
The Amazon rainforest is often described as the “lungs of the planet”. Stretching across nine nations, it provides shelter for millions of species and stores large amounts of carbon. Despite climate change and deforestation (砍伐森林), new research has revealed a surprising discovery: the trees themselves are growing larger.
A team of nearly 100 researchers monitored tree sizes in 188 plots across the Amazon rainforest between 1971 and 2015. They found that the average tree size — including both small and large trees — increased by 3. 3 percent every decade.
The growth is linked to the rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). “Large trees are hugely beneficial in absorbing atmospheric CO2, which in turn acts as a fertilizer to nourish them. The increased availability of atmospheric CO2 due to climate change serves to boost photosynthesis (光合作用), speeding up tree growth,” joint lead author Adriane Esquivel-Muelbert said.
While the growth of trees brings positive news, the research also warns of significant risks. Trees may become more susceptible to other climate-driven factors, such as drought, heat and wildfire. Human activities like deforestation and the expansion of roads and farms could also reduce the trees’ ability to absorb CO2.
“Although our research has shown that trees in undamaged forests are still increasing in size, any benefits of this in terms of the carbon sink can be easily cancelled out by deforestation and logging impacts. Our results suggest that the Amazon rainforest can handle climate change really well. My fear is that this ability won’t matter at all unless we can stop deforestation itself,” Esquivel-Muelbert said.
32. Why is the Amazon rainforest called the “lungs of the planet”
A. It has the most trees among all forests in the world.
B. Its trees can produce more oxygen than other plants.
C. It is the largest forest that stretches across nine nations.
D. It is home to millions of species and holds much carbon.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The results of climate change. B. Reasons for the increase in tree size.
C. Essential conditions for tree growth. D. The key role of trees in storing CO2.
34. What does the underlined word “susceptible” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Sensitive. B. Tolerant. C. Tough. D. Beneficial.
35. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Amazon Trees Grow Bigger with More CO2 B. The Amazon Rainforest: Growth and Risks
C. Deforestation: A Big Threat to the Amazon D. How to Keep CO2 in the Amazon Rainforest

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Leah was excited about the new school term because she heard there was a new art class. She had loved to draw since she was little, often doodling (信手涂鸦) on paper and dreaming of making beautiful pictures.
Leah’s parents worked very hard and were often busy, so she was usually alone at home after school. She didn’t like being alone because it made her feel lonely. This made her very eager for the art class. She hoped to find joy and companionship in the world of drawing.
On the first day of school Leah sat in her classroom full of hope, looking forward to the art class after school. When the school bell rang, she quickly packed her bag and hurried to the art room. She was the first one to arrive at the art room. Standing at the door, she felt nervous but excited. Ms. White was busy organizing art supplies. Hearing footsteps, she looked up and greeted Leah with a smile. Leah introduced herself to Ms. White. Ms. White smiled warmly and said, “Welcome, Leah. I’m Ms. White. Nice to meet you.”
Ms. White’s smile was warm and sincere, like a ray of sunshine that made Leah feel safe and happy. Ms. White gently patted Leah’s head and said softly, “I’m happy you joined my art class. I’ll do my best to help you.” At that moment, Leah felt she was full of hope as if she could already see a bright future in drawing.
From then on, Leah went to the art room every day after school. Ms. White was always patient, teaching the students different drawing skills. She noticed that Leah had a keen sense for colors and lines, so she encouraged her to create her own works. Every time Leah finished a drawing, Ms. White would carefully admire it and gently say, “Your drawing is very special, full of imagination in every stroke (一笔).”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
