　The sharp fin(鳍).The rows upon rows of sharp teeth.The large black eyes.The sharks you see on television in Jaws or Discovery’s “Shark Week” are not the friendliest looking creatures.They aren’t exactly an animal you want to find near you while swimming in the ocean.Despite their portrayals(刻画) in movies and popular culture, sharks are complicated, misunderstood creatures that are weaker than they appear.
　One very common misunderstanding about sharks is their desire to hunt humans.Actually when sharks attack humans, it is because they mistake a human for their normal prey(猎物), seals or dolphins.They don’t seek out humans on purpose.Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than be bitten by a shark.
　Sharks are very important to the ocean as they are at the top of the food chain.Some sharks even control the balance of an ecosystem through fear alone.Tiger sharks in Australia help protect seagrass meadows from turtles.Turtles eat the seagrass and, without the sharks, will destroy these meadows.When tiger sharks are present though, the turtles are scared away, holding back their appetite for seagrass and protecting its growth.
　Though sharks have a reputation for being very scary to humans, the sad truth is that they should be scared of humans.The number of sharks in the ocean is steadily dropping.There are a few reasons for this.For one, they mature quite slowly, over several years, and produce relatively few young.For another, overfishing of sharks is happening because more and more people want their fins.About 100 million sharks are killed every year according to National Geographic.Shark fin is a way for people to show off their wealth.Shark fins are also believed to have medicinal benefits, though there is no evidence or proof that they actually do.

　Hiking is tricky when you’re carrying a threatened species. Ally Whitbread carefully jumped over logs while carrying a cooler full of tiny, rare snails. “I feel like I’ve got like 500 babies to take care of—just a very crazy mother hen,” she said.
　The Chittenango ovate amber snails inside are facing extinction. Only dozens are estimated to remain at one waterfall in Upstate New York. But Whitbread is part of a team transporting a lab-bred population to a new, remote home for a shot at survival. Such a recovery process can take years to decades, and success is obscure, but scientists are racing to better understand our planet’s biodiversity before species are wiped out.
　The hike to a hidden waterfall is a chance to examine what makes them thrive in the wild, or what doesn’t.
　“These efforts to study rare species can unlock their hidden benefits to humans,” said Professor Laura Dee. “Our idea that we might want to have a species down the line comes from the uncertainty of what the future is going to bring, and what role that species might play.”
　Like the once-rare Madagascar rosy periwinkle—a compound from the plant is now used in leukemia treatments. “While not every species will cure cancer,” Dee said, “more studies are needed because we don’t fully know what will happen if we lose them.”
　Even just observing species in their habitats can prove helpful. University of Utah biology professor Jack Longino is cataloging the planet’s ants. He said understanding how the insects communicate could help programmers with robotics. “To create things to make new technologies, we’re sort of imitating nature all the time,” Longino said.
　The Chittenango ovate amber snail doesn’t have any known unique traits critical to humans, and it has been a lengthy journey just to attempt to save them. The half-hour hike to the new habitat is the latest step in a process that has lasted more than five years.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家穿越丛林,用冷藏箱悉心保护濒危物种奇特南戈卵形琥珀蜗牛。
5.Which can best replace the underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 2
A.Undeniable.　　　
B.Unpredictable.
C.Inevitable.
D.Incomparable.
√
【解析】选B。词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Such a recovery process can take years to decades”和下文“but scientists are racing to better understand our planet’s biodiversity before species are wiped out”可知,恢复过程很漫长,且后面有转折,说明科学家们在努力了解生物多样性。由此推知,此处指成功是不确定的、捉摸不透的,从而和科学家们的努力形成对比,obscure 意思应该是“不确定的、捉摸不透的”,与unpredictable 意思相近。故选 B。
6.According to Professor Laura Dee, why should we save the Chittenango ovate amber snails
A.Because they help programmers create robotics.
B.Because we have a great affection for this rare snail.
C.Because they can be adopted for the treatment of cancer and leukemia.
D.Because we are uncertain about the hidden benefits of them to humans.
√
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第四段中 Laura Dee 教授所说的话“These efforts to study rare species can unlock their hidden benefits to humans”以及“Our idea that we might want to have a species down the line comes from the uncertainty of what the future is going to bring, and what role that species might play”可知,Laura Dee 教授认为应该拯救这种蜗牛是因为我们不确定它们将来会起什么样的作用,对人类有什么潜在的好处。故选 D。
7.What are Paragraph 5 and Paragraph 6 mainly about
A.The benefits of sustaining and studying rare species.
B.The helpfulness of observing how ants communicate.
C.The consequences of losing rare animals and plants in nature.
D.The healing effect of the compound from Madagascar rosy periwinkle.
√
【解析】选A。主旨大意题。根据第五段中“‘While not every species will cure cancer,’ Dee said, ‘more studies are needed because we don’t fully know what will happen if we lose them.’”可知,本段以马达加斯加玫瑰色长春花为例,说明珍稀物种可能带来潜在的好处。根据第六段中“Even just observing species in their habitats can prove helpful.”可知,本段介绍人类通过观察动物,模仿大自然去创新、去发展科技。由此可知,这两段都是围绕着保护和研究珍稀动物的好处而展开的。故选 A。
8.Which is the best title for the text
A.Explore the rare species
B.Tiny snails, Great benefits
C.Small snails, Long journey
D.Save the extinct species
√
【解析】选C。主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中“The Chittenango ovate amber snail doesn’t have any known unique traits critical to humans, and it has been a lengthy journey just to attempt to save them.”可知,文章围绕科学家们穿越丛林,保护濒危物种奇特南戈卵形琥珀蜗牛展开,介绍了这种物种的处境,以及科学家们进行拯救的原因和艰难。因此,C项“小小的蜗牛,漫长的旅程”抓住了文章的中心词,一语双关地点明了科学家们穿越丛林的旅程和进行拯救的旅行的漫长,适合作为标题。故选C。

Step 1　题源研读·入境体验
For Antarctica’s emperor penguins, “there is no time left.”
对于南极洲的帝企鹅来说,“没有时间了。”
　　For emperor penguins, sea ice is essential to survival.The iconic birds, found only in Antarctica, breed, lay their eggs, and raise their chicks on fast sea ice (meaning it is attached to land).They arrive at their breeding sites in late March.In May and June, they lay their eggs, which hatch after 65 days during the cold Antarctic winter. Sea ice levels in Antarctica were at an all-time low—a record first set in 2021.The Bellingshausen Sea region saw the most extreme reduction of sea ice, with some areas experiencing a 100-percent loss. Of the five known emperor penguin colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea region, all but one experienced what was most likely a total breeding failure due to the loss of sea ice.Satellite imagery clearly showed the sea ice had broken up before the chicks would have developed enough to survive on their own. Dana M.Bergstrom has spent 40 years working in Antarctic and doing subantarctic research.Earlier this month, she wrote an article in the Conversation about the changes in Antarctica: “Much of this winter’s sea ice is missing.A crucial ocean current is slowing down, and glaciers and ice shelves are breaking up.” 　　While it’s extremely difficult to determine if year-over-year changes in sea ice are mainly the result of global climate change or seasonal wind and climate patterns such as La Ni a, modeling does predict a long-term decline in Antarctic sea ice extent. This kind of regional-scale event is likely to become more common, with devastating consequences for emperor penguins and other ice-dependent species.As the world warms, sea ice will decline and emperor penguins—as well as other animals—will likely follow suit.Jeremy Wilkinson, a sea ice physicist, stated that breeding failure “dramatically reveals the connection between sea ice loss and ecosystem extinction”. “The scientific community engaged in Antarctica-related research is generally very concerned,” says Schmidt, pointing to a call for immediate climate action. For species such as the emperor penguin, the crisis is already underway.“There is no time left,” Wilkinson says. —https://www.nationalgeographic.com (同源高考:2022年新高考I卷B篇阅读选自本网站)

For Antarctica’s emperor penguins, “there is no time left.”
对于南极洲的帝企鹅来说,“没有时间了。”
　　For emperor penguins, sea ice is essential to survival.The iconic birds, found only in Antarctica, breed, lay their eggs, and raise their chicks on fast sea ice (meaning it is attached to land).They arrive at their breeding sites in late March.In May and June, they lay their eggs, which hatch after 65 days during the cold Antarctic winter.
　　Sea ice levels in Antarctica were at an all-time low—a record first set in 2021.The Bellingshausen Sea region saw the most extreme reduction of sea ice, with some areas experiencing a 100-percent loss.
　　Of the five known emperor penguin colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea region, all but one experienced what was most likely a total breeding failure due to the loss of sea ice.Satellite imagery clearly showed the sea ice had broken up before the chicks would have developed enough to survive on their own.
　　Dana M.Bergstrom has spent 40 years working in Antarctic and doing subantarctic research.Earlier this month, she wrote an article in the Conversation about the changes in Antarctica: “Much of this winter’s sea ice is missing.A crucial ocean current is slowing down, and glaciers and ice shelves are breaking up.”
　　While it’s extremely difficult to determine if year-over-year changes in sea ice are mainly the result of global climate change or seasonal wind and climate patterns such as La Ni a, modeling does predict a long-term decline in Antarctic sea ice extent.
　　This kind of regional-scale event is likely to become more common, with devastating consequences for emperor penguins and other ice-dependent species.As the world warms, sea ice will decline and emperor penguins—as well as other animals—will likely follow suit.Jeremy Wilkinson, a sea ice physicist, stated that breeding failure “dramatically reveals the connection between sea ice loss and ecosystem extinction”.
　　“The scientific community engaged in Antarctica-related research is generally very concerned,” says Schmidt, pointing to a call for immediate climate action.
　　For species such as the emperor penguin, the crisis is already underway.“There is no time left,” Wilkinson says.

A
(2026·深圳模拟)
The sharp fin(鳍).The rows upon rows of sharp teeth.The large black eyes.The sharks you see on television in Jaws or Discovery’s “Shark Week” are not the friendliest looking creatures.They aren’t exactly an animal you want to find near you while swimming in the ocean.Despite their portrayals(刻画) in movies and popular culture, sharks are complicated, misunderstood creatures that are weaker than they appear.
One very common misunderstanding about sharks is their desire to hunt humans.Actually when sharks attack humans, it is because they mistake a human for their normal prey(猎物), seals or dolphins.They don’t seek out humans on purpose.Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than be bitten by a shark.
Sharks are very important to the ocean as they are at the top of the food chain.Some sharks even control the balance of an ecosystem through fear alone.Tiger sharks in Australia help protect seagrass meadows from turtles.Turtles eat the seagrass and, without the sharks, will destroy these meadows.When tiger sharks are present though, the turtles are scared away, holding back their appetite for seagrass and protecting its growth.
Though sharks have a reputation for being very scary to humans, the sad truth is that they should be scared of humans.The number of sharks in the ocean is steadily dropping.There are a few reasons for this.For one, they mature quite slowly, over several years, and produce relatively few young.For another, overfishing of sharks is happening because more and more people want their fins.About 100 million sharks are killed every year according to National Geographic.Shark fin is a way for people to show off their wealth.Shark fins are also believed to have medicinal benefits, though there is no evidence or proof that they actually do.

Hiking is tricky when you’re carrying a threatened species. Ally Whitbread carefully jumped over logs while carrying a cooler full of tiny, rare snails. “I feel like I’ve got like 500 babies to take care of—just a very crazy mother hen,” she said.
The Chittenango ovate amber snails inside are facing extinction. Only dozens are estimated to remain at one waterfall in Upstate New York. But Whitbread is part of a team transporting a lab-bred population to a new, remote home for a shot at survival. Such a recovery process can take years to decades, and success is obscure, but scientists are racing to better understand our planet’s biodiversity before species are wiped out.
The hike to a hidden waterfall is a chance to examine what makes them thrive in the wild, or what doesn’t.
“These efforts to study rare species can unlock their hidden benefits to humans,” said Professor Laura Dee. “Our idea that we might want to have a species down the line comes from the uncertainty of what the future is going to bring, and what role that species might play.”
Like the once-rare Madagascar rosy periwinkle—a compound from the plant is now used in leukemia treatments. “While not every species will cure cancer,” Dee said, “more studies are needed because we don’t fully know what will happen if we lose them.”
Even just observing species in their habitats can prove helpful. University of Utah biology professor Jack Longino is cataloging the planet’s ants. He said understanding how the insects communicate could help programmers with robotics. “To create things to make new technologies, we’re sort of imitating nature all the time,” Longino said.
The Chittenango ovate amber snail doesn’t have any known unique traits critical to humans, and it has been a lengthy journey just to attempt to save them. The half-hour hike to the new habitat is the latest step in a process that has lasted more than five years.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家穿越丛林,用冷藏箱悉心保护濒危物种奇特南戈卵形琥珀蜗牛。
5.Which can best replace the underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 2
A.Undeniable.　　　B.Unpredictable.
C.Inevitable. D.Incomparable.
【解析】选B。词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Such a recovery process can take years to decades”和下文“but scientists are racing to better understand our planet’s biodiversity before species are wiped out”可知,恢复过程很漫长,且后面有转折,说明科学家们在努力了解生物多样性。由此推知,此处指成功是不确定的、捉摸不透的,从而和科学家们的努力形成对比,obscure 意思应该是“不确定的、捉摸不透的”,与unpredictable 意思相近。故选 B。
6.According to Professor Laura Dee, why should we save the Chittenango ovate amber snails
A.Because they help programmers create robotics.
B.Because we have a great affection for this rare snail.
C.Because they can be adopted for the treatment of cancer and leukemia.
D.Because we are uncertain about the hidden benefits of them to humans.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第四段中 Laura Dee 教授所说的话“These efforts to study rare species can unlock their hidden benefits to humans”以及“Our idea that we might want to have a species down the line comes from the uncertainty of what the future is going to bring, and what role that species might play”可知,Laura Dee 教授认为应该拯救这种蜗牛是因为我们不确定它们将来会起什么样的作用,对人类有什么潜在的好处。故选 D。
7.What are Paragraph 5 and Paragraph 6 mainly about
A.The benefits of sustaining and studying rare species.
B.The helpfulness of observing how ants communicate.
C.The consequences of losing rare animals and plants in nature.
D.The healing effect of the compound from Madagascar rosy periwinkle.
【解析】选A。主旨大意题。根据第五段中“‘While not every species will cure cancer,’ Dee said, ‘more studies are needed because we don’t fully know what will happen if we lose them.’”可知,本段以马达加斯加玫瑰色长春花为例,说明珍稀物种可能带来潜在的好处。根据第六段中“Even just observing species in their habitats can prove helpful.”可知,本段介绍人类通过观察动物,模仿大自然去创新、去发展科技。由此可知,这两段都是围绕着保护和研究珍稀动物的好处而展开的。故选 A。
8.Which is the best title for the text
A.Explore the rare species
B.Tiny snails, Great benefits
C.Small snails, Long journey
D.Save the extinct species
【解析】选C。主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中“The Chittenango ovate amber snail doesn’t have any known unique traits critical to humans, and it has been a lengthy journey just to attempt to save them.”可知,文章围绕科学家们穿越丛林,保护濒危物种奇特南戈卵形琥珀蜗牛展开,介绍了这种物种的处境,以及科学家们进行拯救的原因和艰难。因此,C项“小小的蜗牛,漫长的旅程”抓住了文章的中心词,一语双关地点明了科学家们穿越丛林的旅程和进行拯救的旅行的漫长,适合作为标题。故选C。

　11　
Once you decide what to film, do some deeper research on your subject.Take notes that can help you look for interesting facts to film.For example, what are some of the animal’s feeding habits Research the physical differences you might spot between males and females of the same species, from size to color to behavior.
Film and edit
You don’t need advanced equipment to make a nature documentary.You can use a video camera or a phone with a camera.　12　 When you’re ready to film, stay a comfortable distance from wildlife so you don’t frighten away your subject.You can also film an introduction: Put your camera in selfie mode, introduce yourself, and let the audience know why you chose your subject.Finally, you can use a free app to edit your film and add titles.
Host a screening
　13　 You can have a screening at home or check with your local library about the availability of a meeting room.After the screening, have a question and answer session so audience can ask you about your documentary.Finally, thank everyone for coming!
A.Do your research
B.Explore wildlife spots
C.Do some research and choose local wildlife that interests you.
D.All you need to create this nonfiction film is a camera and a subject.
E.Also, pay attention to the weather forecast before you go out to film.
F.When you’re happy with your film, invite family and friends to watch it.
G.A three-legged stand will help keep your camera steady but isn’t necessary.
