You can put a stamp on it ， you can write an address on it ， and you can send it through the mail. No ， it’s not a package（包裹）. It’s the amazing coconut（椰子）！ The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part ofit is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them.
One exciting use of the coconut is as a kind of energy. Scientists are working on using coconuts for energy because they are cheap and clean. Coconut oil has already been made into fuel（燃料）. It can power cars， trucks ， and ships.
Students at Baylor University find that coconut husks（外壳） can take in water very well. So mixing coconut husks with dry soil（土壤） helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students also find that coconut husks can take the place of plastic in some cases. If this is possible ， it will help people use less plastic.
The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from harm. That’s why some countries allow people to send the coconut without any packaging. Each year ， tourists post about 3 ，000 of these 4coconut postcards ”.
Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and proper rain. No special care is needed. Every year ， more than 6l million tons of coconuts are produced. It is not surprising ， then ， that people want to find so many uses for the coconut.

B（2025 衢州期末改编）★★★
The sun hung low ， brushing gold over the empty area. The air buzzed （喧闹）—not with insects ， but with voices ， cameras ， and the weight of something about to begin.
Roy’s heart beat like a drum. He looked out at the people gathering for the pancake house ground－breaking ceremony（仪式）. Behind him stood the company men and the reporters. And under his feet—hidden underground—were the tiny burrows（洞穴） of the owls.
No sign marked them. No fence protected them. They asked nothing， made no sound ， yet now heavy machines waited ， ready to destroy（破坏） their living area.
He thought of Mullet Fingers ， the wild boy who cared about animals more than himself. He thought of brave Beatrice who helped even when it was hard. Roy had tried to stay out of trouble. He liked quiet. But now，
staying quiet didn’t feel right.
He stepped up to the microphone（话筒）.
“Excuse me ， ” he said ， voice shaking. “Before you dig ， you should know the truth. ”
The crowd（人群） grew quiet.
“There are owls living here ， ” Roy said. “They’re small. They’re scared. And if you build here ， you’ll destroy their homes. ”
Someone in the crowd laughed. A reporter asked ， “How do you know that？ ”
“Because I saw them. I stood right here and watched them. They live here. They belong here. And they matter. ”
The manager stepped forward ， “This is not your business ， kid. ” Roy turned to face him. His fear turned into something else—strength.
“It’s my business. It’s everyone’s business. We can’t just destroy what we don’t see. Progress should not come at the cost of wonder ， ” he said.
His hands stopped shaking. People in the crowd began whispering. One mother held her child’s hand. A teacher nodded. Even the manager looked uncertain.
Roy didn’t know what would happen next. But he did what he could. He spoke the truth.
Roy used to be scared. But doing the right thing made him stronger.
Sometimes ， doing what you can is enough to shift（改变） the wind.
（ B ）5. Who did Roy think of before stepping up to the microphone？
A. His teacher.
B. Mullet Fingers and Beatrice.
C. The manager.
D. The newspaper reporters.
（ B ）6. Why was Roy speaking to the crowd at the ceremony？

C（2025 扬州改编）★★★
Many marine species（海洋物种） depend on specific routes to migrate （迁徙）. The routes offer these seafaring travellers the right conditions at the right time of year， to guide them through the oceans. We humans try to discover the routes and have drawn our own lines， but they are not clear to us because of unexpected changes in nature.
To find out the routes that migratory marine species regularly take， a research team of scientists in Australia and the US have created an interactive map that shows the paths connecting ocean habitats（栖息地）.
The new map ， named the Migratory Connectivity in the Ocean （MiCO）， collects data and makes it easier for scientists to see where migratory marine species may be falling into the paths. The database（数据库） includes information on 109 species ， based on around 30 years of
data ， and shows where they are going to and from—including which species cross into whose national waters.
“MiCO connects almost 2 ，000 important habitats and shows the importance of cross-boundary teamwork ， ” says the research team. They find that all of the species recorded in MiCO have less protection at some point in their life history because of different situations in different countries. That means no country is able to fully protect migratory species if there is no help from others. “For example ， green turtles nest in Costa Rica and migrate north through Nicaragua and out to islands in the Caribbean ， ” the team says. “Although largely protected in Costa Rica ， it is allowed to fish for turtles in Nicaragua and huge numbers are lost off the coast there every year.”
MiCO works to provide useful knowledge on migratory connectivity to help protect marine species. In 2023 ， a UN report found climate（气候） change is having a bad influence on migratory species. MiCO catches the information from different time periods and the team hopes it may be used to tell those changes in connectivity. MiCO is also expected to collect
information on more migratory marine species because there is less than one -third of data collected now.
“So far ， the migratory information revealed within the MiCO system only touches the surface of the true connectivity of the global oceans ， ” the team says.
（ D ）9. 创新考法 行文方式 How does the writer lead in the topic？
A. By offering advice.
B. By presenting study results.
C. By expressing opinions.
D. By giving background information.
（ C ）10. What is MiCO？
A. A map that humans draw to look for marine species.
B. A route which guides marine species through the oceans.
C. A database that shows the lines marine species migrate along.
D. A system which scientists use for researches on temperature changes.
（ B ）11. Why does the writer take the example of green turtles？
A. To prove the harm in fishing for migratory species.
B. To show the importance of cross-country teamwork.
C. To share the methods of marine species protection.
D. To explain the reason for marine species to migrate.
（ C ）12. Which of the following can be the data MiCO collects？
A. Over l0 laws are made on marine species protection.
B. There are mainly 3 elephant species living on the earth.
C. Leatherback turtles travel about 20 ，000 km from Indonesia to Oregon.
D. Thousands of people visit the whale shark habitat in South Africa every year.

Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horse.
“If I am valued， more talent will be willing to serve the 5. ，”
he said. The king built houses for Guo and took him as a respected teacher.
Soon， more talented people came to help the king and made the state strong.

　　 Have you ever got close to nature and had a special experience？
Let me share mine！　
　　 Last weekend， I went to the countryside with my family for a
nature walk. When I was walking in the forest， I found a small spider
web. The web was so delicate， with each thread connected perfectly. I
watched the spider spin for an hour. It kept working even when a breeze
broke part of the web. I was surprised by its patience. This little
discovery made me realize how amazing nature’s creatures are.　
　　 I experienced the life in nature， learned something that I
couldn’t get from books before， and felt the interesting things of
nature. I really hope I’ll have lots of chances to get close to nature！

You can put a stamp on it ， you can write an address on it ， and you can send it through the mail. No ， it’s not a package（包裹）. It’s the amazing coconut（椰子）！ The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part ofit is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them.
One exciting use of the coconut is as a kind of energy. Scientists are working on using coconuts for energy because they are cheap and clean. Coconut oil has already been made into fuel（燃料）. It can power cars， trucks ， and ships.
Students at Baylor University find that coconut husks（外壳） can take in water very well. So mixing coconut husks with dry soil（土壤） helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students also find that coconut husks can take the place of plastic in some cases. If this is possible ， it will help people use less plastic.
The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from harm. That’s why some countries allow people to send the coconut without any packaging. Each year ， tourists post about 3 ，000 of these 4coconut postcards ”.
Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and proper rain. No special care is needed. Every year ， more than 6l million tons of coconuts are produced. It is not surprising ， then ， that people want to find so many uses for the coconut.

The sun hung low ， brushing gold over the empty area. The air buzzed （喧闹）—not with insects ， but with voices ， cameras ， and the weight of something about to begin.
Roy’s heart beat like a drum. He looked out at the people gathering for the pancake house ground－breaking ceremony（仪式）. Behind him stood the company men and the reporters. And under his feet—hidden underground—were the tiny burrows（洞穴） of the owls.
No sign marked them. No fence protected them. They asked nothing， made no sound ， yet now heavy machines waited ， ready to destroy（破坏） their living area.
He thought of Mullet Fingers ， the wild boy who cared about animals more than himself. He thought of brave Beatrice who helped even when it was hard. Roy had tried to stay out of trouble. He liked quiet. But now，
staying quiet didn’t feel right.
He stepped up to the microphone（话筒）.
“Excuse me ， ” he said ， voice shaking. “Before you dig ， you should know the truth. ”
The crowd（人群） grew quiet.
“There are owls living here ， ” Roy said. “They’re small. They’re scared. And if you build here ， you’ll destroy their homes. ”
Someone in the crowd laughed. A reporter asked ， “How do you know that？ ”
“Because I saw them. I stood right here and watched them. They live here. They belong here. And they matter. ”
The manager stepped forward ， “This is not your business ， kid. ” Roy turned to face him. His fear turned into something else—strength.
“It’s my business. It’s everyone’s business. We can’t just destroy what we don’t see. Progress should not come at the cost of wonder ， ” he said.
His hands stopped shaking. People in the crowd began whispering. One mother held her child’s hand. A teacher nodded. Even the manager looked uncertain.
Roy didn’t know what would happen next. But he did what he could. He spoke the truth.
Roy used to be scared. But doing the right thing made him stronger.
Sometimes ， doing what you can is enough to shift（改变） the wind.
（ B ）5. Who did Roy think of before stepping up to the microphone？
A. His teacher.
B. Mullet Fingers and Beatrice.
C. The manager.
D. The newspaper reporters.
（ B ）6. Why was Roy speaking to the crowd at the ceremony？
A. To raise money for wildlife.
B. To protect the owls ’ living area.
C. To advertise the pancake house.
D. To welcome people from other towns.
（ C ）7. What does the underlined part in the passage mean？
A. Extra cost should be paid to protect nature.
B. There’s nothing more important than progress.
C. Nature shouldn’t be destroyed for development.
D. People should cut the cost of creating wonders.
（ D ）8. What can we learn from Roy’s story in the passage？

B. Finding out the truth needs patience and wisdom.
C. Knowing yourself helps you make the right choice.
D. Standing up for nature takes courage but it’s worth it.
C（2025 扬州改编）★★★
Many marine species（海洋物种） depend on specific routes to migrate （迁徙）. The routes offer these seafaring travellers the right conditions at the right time of year， to guide them through the oceans. We humans try to discover the routes and have drawn our own lines， but they are not clear to us because of unexpected changes in nature.
To find out the routes that migratory marine species regularly take， a research team of scientists in Australia and the US have created an interactive map that shows the paths connecting ocean habitats（栖息地）.
The new map ， named the Migratory Connectivity in the Ocean （MiCO）， collects data and makes it easier for scientists to see where migratory marine species may be falling into the paths. The database（数据库） includes information on 109 species ， based on around 30 years of
data ， and shows where they are going to and from—including which species cross into whose national waters.
“MiCO connects almost 2 ，000 important habitats and shows the importance of cross-boundary teamwork ， ” says the research team. They find that all of the species recorded in MiCO have less protection at some point in their life history because of different situations in different countries. That means no country is able to fully protect migratory species if there is no help from others. “For example ， green turtles nest in Costa Rica and migrate north through Nicaragua and out to islands in the Caribbean ， ” the team says. “Although largely protected in Costa Rica ， it is allowed to fish for turtles in Nicaragua and huge numbers are lost off the coast there every year.”
MiCO works to provide useful knowledge on migratory connectivity to help protect marine species. In 2023 ， a UN report found climate（气候） change is having a bad influence on migratory species. MiCO catches the information from different time periods and the team hopes it may be used to tell those changes in connectivity. MiCO is also expected to collect
information on more migratory marine species because there is less than one -third of data collected now.
“So far ， the migratory information revealed within the MiCO system only touches the surface of the true connectivity of the global oceans ， ” the team says.
（ D ）9. 创新考法 行文方式 How does the writer lead in the topic？
A. By offering advice.
B. By presenting study results.
C. By expressing opinions.
D. By giving background information.
（ C ）10. What is MiCO？
A. A map that humans draw to look for marine species.
B. A route which guides marine species through the oceans.
C. A database that shows the lines marine species migrate along.
D. A system which scientists use for researches on temperature changes.
（ B ）11. Why does the writer take the example of green turtles？
A. To prove the harm in fishing for migratory species.
B. To show the importance of cross-country teamwork.
C. To share the methods of marine species protection.
D. To explain the reason for marine species to migrate.
（ C ）12. Which of the following can be the data MiCO collects？
A. Over l0 laws are made on marine species protection.
B. There are mainly 3 elephant species living on the earth.
C. Leatherback turtles travel about 20 ，000 km from Indonesia to Oregon.
D. Thousands of people visit the whale shark habitat in South Africa every year.
