　　According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), six red wolf pups (幼崽) were found in North Carolina’s Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge last week. That’s great news for endangered red wolves, and marks the first time these pups have been born in the wild since 2020.
　　Long ago, red wolves lived all through the US Southeast. But as the wolves were hunted, and as more and more land was taken over for cities, roads and farms, the wolves began to die out.
　　In 1973, a new law called the Endangered Species Act was passed, which was designed to protect animals that were in danger of dying out, like red wolves. At the time, there were only about 17 red wolves remaining in the wild. Fourteen of those wolves were caught and fed by researchers to protect them. Then, the FWS conducted a program called the Red Wolf Recovery Program. But by 1980, red wolves were believed to have been extinct in the wild.
　　Luckily, the wolves did well under people’s care, and their numbers continued to grow. Soon the FWS began releasing red wolves back into the wild. Those wolves with tracking collars spread out, paired up, and began to have pups. By 2012, red wolf numbers had hit a new high point of about 120 wolves in the wild. The program’s success led to many other programs aimed at bringing animals back from the edge of extinction.
　　Sadly, though, wild red wolf numbers began to drop again. Some wolves were shot and others were hit by cars. As the number of adults fell, the number of pups being born also began to drop. In 2020, a total of four pups were born in the wild. In 2021, 2022 and 2023, no wild pups were born at all.
　　So the news that six pups hatched in the wild was a huge boost. But the good news wasn’t an accident.
1. What is partly responsible for the reduced number of red wolves in recent years
A. The lack of food. B. The worsened weather.
C. The illegal hunting. D. The loss of forests.
2. How did the FWS protect red wolves
A. It made a new law to protect them. B. It kept them in the wild.
C. It moved them into a new habitat. D. It carried out a recovery program.
3. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Endangered Species Act Taking Effect
B. Red Wolf Pups Decreasing in the US
C. Endangered Red Wolf Pups Born in the Wild
D. Future Faced by Endangered Red Wolves

　　Many children are introduced to animals through TV shows or movies. Shaun the Sheep, a popular cartoon series, features a variety of animals living at the Mossy Bottom Farm. Among them, naughty Shaun is the clever leader of his flock of sheep. Sheep in this series look a bit different from common ones because the TV show used the Valais Blacknose sheep as the model.
　　There are few animals that make people say “Aww! ” in a high-toned voice as quickly as the Valais Blacknose sheep. As the cutest sheep in the world, these animals come from the Valais region in Switzerland. They are instantly recognizable thanks to their charming appearance. With spiral-shaped horns(螺旋状的角), they have soft, white wool, which contrasts with the black patches spread evenly over their faces and found on their ears, knees, and ankles.
　　The Valais Blacknose sheep have a rich history deeply rooted in the Swiss Alps. They were originally raised in the 15th century for their highly valued wool. However, it was not until 1962 that they were officially recognized as a breed (品种). Their population once dwindled but continuous efforts have been made to protect this unique breed. These efforts have been successful, and the Valais Blacknose sheep can now be found in various parts of the globe.
　　Looking like a combination of a lamb and a teddy bear, the Valais Blacknose sheep has found its place in the hearts of many people. They are also raised as pets due to their adorable, gentle, and friendly nature which makes them perfect companions. However, it’s important for owners to consider their needs, including suitable living environment, nutrition(营养), and space to wander. Whether as wool producers or beloved pets, the Valais Blacknose sheep have gained their fame in being helpful animals.
4. How is the topic introduced
A. By listing characters in a TV show. B. By describing the nature of an animal.
C. By comparing leaders of different animals. D. By showing a character in a cartoon series.
5. What is mainly talked about concerning the Valais Blacknose sheep in Paragraph 2
A. Its character. 　　 B. Its appearance.
C. Its use. 　　 D. Its origin.
6. What does the underlined word “dwindled” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Remained stable. B. Changed constantly.

　　A group of scientists opened a cage at dawn on Wednesday and reintroduced 15 endangered Puerto Rican parrots into the wild as part of a preservation program.
　　The birds flew away without hesitation as they disappeared into a forest near Puerto Rico’s north coast.
　　It was the ninth release at the Rio Abajo Nature preserve since 2016. Another 204 parrots remain at the bird shelter, and an estimated 57 to 108 parrots are believed to live in the wild nearby.
　　The parrots released Wednesday were between 1 and 2 years old and were kept in a cage separate from the other parrots for a year. Scientists tried to simulate a natural environment in that cage, where they fed them local fruits and showed them how to identify natural enemies.
　　The Natural Resources Department also manages another breeding (繁殖) centre at El Yunque tropical rain forest in northeast Puerto Rico. Scientists expect to open a third breeding centre soon, in the western mountain town of Maricao.
　　The feathered friends are Puerto Rico’s only remaining native parrot. Scientists believe that about 1 million individuals of the species existed before the Europeans arrived, with numbers hitting an alarmingly low of 13 in 1975, following decades of deforestation to grow coffee and cash crops.
8. What does the underlined word “simulate” mean
A. Study. B. Destroy. C. Reproduce. D. Buy.

　　From an airplane, cars crawling down the highway look like ants. But actual ants—unlike cars—somehow manage to avoid the stop-and-go traffic. Researchers are studying their cooperative strategies to learn how to program self-driving cars that don’t jam up.
　　The free flow of traffic becomes unstable as the density(密度)of cars increases on a highway. At 15 vehicles per mile per lane, one driver applying his brake can cause a wave of congestion(拥挤). “It’s a kind of phase transition(相变), like water turning from a liquid to a solid form, ” says Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist.
　　His previous research had shown that ants can maintain their flow even at high densities. So what’s their secret In a recent study, researchers found that the ants travel in groups of three to twenty that move at nearly constant speeds while keeping distances between one another—and they don’t speed up to pass others.
　　Human drivers at rush hour rarely follow such rules. “We’re maximizing the interests of individuals, which is why, at a given point, you start to have a traffic jam, ” says study co-author Nicola Pugno. But self-driving cars, if they one day become popular, would share information with nearby cars to make good use of traffic flow—perhaps, the researchers suggest, by prioritizing(优先考虑)constant speeds or by not passing others on the road.
　　Ants can do numerous things that self-driving can’t, Pinter Wollman points out. Ants can create a trail as wide as they like, unlike drivers stuck on highways. The insects do sometimes jam up when trapped in tunnels, but to keep things moving, “they’ll find a way to walk on the ceiling, ” she says. Plus, ants don’t crash; they can literally walk over one another.
　　Today’s drivers can learn at least one thing from ants, Nishinari says, “by leaving room between their car and the one ahead, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in dense traffic conditions that would otherwise be amplified(增强) into a traffic jam. ”
30. What enables ants to keep smooth traffic flow even at high densities
A. Central command system. B. Cooperative group interaction.
C. Quick speeding-up ability. D. Advanced navigation (导航) tools.
31. How could self-driving cars potentially copy ants’ traffic strategies
A. Road expansion.
B. Complete avoidance of braking.
C. Inter-vehicle data sharing networks.
D. Prioritizing top speed achievement.
32. In which aspect are ants different from self-driving cars
A. Travelling in groups of 3 to 20. B. Traffic rule observation.
C. Computer-controlled decision making. D. Flexible navigation and crash avoidance.
33. What would be the most appropriate title for the text
A. The Psychology Behind Human Traffic Congestion
B. Technical Barriers in Autonomous Vehicle Networks
C. Ants vs. Humans: Evolutionary Comparisons
D. Ants’ Amazing Traffic Rules: A Guide for Driverless Cars

　　Not every farmer is happy to have more beehives (蜂房)on their land; some worry about the cost and extra work. But as natural pollinators(传粉者)decrease in number and crops need better pollination to grow well, farmers’ harvests and healthy bee populations are becoming closely connected.
　　In many farming regions, cooperation is very important to protect bees—over one-third of bee species are now on the decrease. Agricultural scientists, farming cooperatives, and beekeepers are working together to create bee-friendly farms. Their methods vary from place to place, because different crops need different kinds of pollination support. The key to success is making beekeeping practical and profitable for everyone involved. For instance, some programs offer farmers small payments if they maintain healthy hives on their land.
　　In fruit-growing regions like California’s Central Valley, farmers are using “smart hive” technology. These special beehives have sensors that monitor temperature, humidity, and bee activity. Farmers receive warnings on their phones about hive health, allowing them to care for bees more effectively. The healthier bees pollinate more thoroughly, leading to larger and better-quality fruits. This system helps beekeepers manage more hives with less guess. In some orchards, these smart hives have increased fruit output by up to 30%.
　　In areas growing crops like sunflowers in France and Canada, organizations like “BeeFuture” help farmers create “bee highways”—continuous rows of wildflowers planted along field edges. These flower areas provide bees with food throughout the growing season. BeeFuture also trains local beekeepers in modern hive management techniques. Their simple goal is to keep both farms and bee populations healthy, especially as climate change threatens both. Last year, their programs helped protect over 100, 000 acres of bee-friendly farmland.
　　Even as these new approaches offer hope, challenges continue to grow. With pesticides (杀虫剂) still widely used and natural habitats decreasing, a question remains: can bee-friendly farming spread fast enough to turn around the decrease This makes the work to protect pollinators a true race against time.
34. Why are small payments offered to the farmers
A. To buy more bee-friendly farms. B. To explore more methods of farming.
C. To encourage them to keep healthy bees. D. To improve their hive management skills.
35. How do “smart hives” help farmers
A. By increasing honey production. B. By tracking bee health in real time.
C. By harvesting honey on their own. D. By enlarging bees’ pollination range.
36. What is the purpose of “bee highways”
A. To feed bees. B. To train beekeepers.
C. To transport bees. D. To plant wildflowers.
37. What does the author suggest by saying “a true race against time”
A. New methods are widely applied. B. Bee-friendly farms are developing fast.
C. More efforts are needed to protect bees. D. Pollination is a time-consuming process.

　　Creative digital technology has made it easier for everyone to play a part in wildlife protection. You don’t need to go to faraway forests or busy zoos. With a wristband (手环) and a mobile phone, you can connect with wild animals. Developed by the volunteer organization Easin, this wristband gives you a valuable chance to wear your love of natural world.
　　Tracking Wildlife
　　This wristband lets users “match” with animals like finless porpoises (江豚). They can check updates on the animals’ daily lives every two to five days. They can get information on finless porpoises’ activities in the Poyang Lake area, such as making new friends or spending time with their family.
　　Digital Adoption
　　Hongshan Zoo has a yearly program on its mini-program. Anyone can adopt (收养) animals like koalas and tigers online. Adopters can get regular monthly photo albums, live videos of the animals and notes from keepers, and attend online meetings to learn about animal protection.
　　Building Connections
　　Digital platforms transform individual participation into collective conservation power. By combining citizen science with growing ecological databases, everyday actions like photo-sharing contribute to AI-assisted research.

　　Koalas are known for their furry ears, round faces, and big black noses. They spend most of their time sleeping in the treetops of eucalyptus (桉树) forests. Because they love staying high up and moving very little, it is hard to find these cute Australian animals. But a new method might make it easier.
　　In areas where koalas, kangaroos, and other animals live, scientists are using a new way to find them. They intercept DNA floating in the air using filters (过滤器) made of cheesecloth, a type of cloth often found in kitchens. These filters are placed between two metal plates. The scientists tested this method at 26 sites in four nature reserves in Queensland, Australia. At each site, they placed two filters—one about 1. 5 meters above the ground with a fan to draw in air, and the other closer to the ground.
　　After a few days, the researchers collected the filters and studied the material caught in them. They were happy to find koalas’ DNA as well as DNA from eleven other species that live in the area.
　　Koala populations have dropped a lot in recent years because of wildfires and diseases. In 2022, the Australian government said that koalas are endangered in some parts of the country. To help protect them, scientists have used advanced tools like thermal imaging drones (无人驾驶飞机) and sound recorders to find koalas. But so far, the new method is the easiest way.
　　“Some of the work in this study is really an important step, ” said an ecologist. The experiment was done in an uncontrolled environment, where things like strong winds or rain could affect the results. “The fact that they were still able to have some success is really encouraging, ” he said.
28. What does the underlined word “intercept” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Measure. 　　 B. Create. C. Limit. D. Catch.
29. What can we infer from the passage about the new method of finding koalas
A. It can only detect koalas’ DNA in controlled environments.
B. It has completely replaced thermal imaging drones in koala research.
C. It is more convenient than traditional advanced tools for finding koalas.
D. It fails to collect DNA from species other than koalas in the tested areas.
30. Which of the following describes the ecologist’s attitude to the study
A. Supportive. 　 B. Uncertain.
C. Doubtful. 　　 D. Disappointed.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To request the government to make a difference.
B. To stress the influence of environmental problems.
C. To introduce a new technique in protecting koalas.
D. To make koalas’ living conditions known to more people.
1. The experiment was done in an uncontrolled environment, where things like strong winds or rain could affect the results.

　　Here’s a smarter way to study snow leopards: let them take time to research scientists themselves.
　　　32　 They live in remote (遥远的) mountain regions across Central and South Asia, such as the Pamir Mountains and parts of the Himalayas, with only about 4, 000 thought to remain in the wild. The harsh terrain, extreme weather conditions, and the leopards’ secretive nature all make close watching extremely challenging.
　　To solve this, the Snow Leopard Trust placed 40 cameras in Central Asia’s snow leopard habitats, aiming to record images of the cats in their natural environment. 　33　 These cameras are equipped (装备) with motion sensors, which can automatically start recording when a snow leopard passes by, avoiding the need for researchers to stay in the wild for a long time. Since then, the footage has helped experts piece together how these animals spend their days.
　　“One surprise we uncovered is that they’re more social than we expected—hanging out in pairs or small groups, and even playing together sometimes, ” explains Orjan Johansson, a scientist with the Snow Leopard Trust.
　　　34　 Previously (此前), researchers believed that snow leopards were mostly animals living alone, only coming together during the mating season. This new finding has made scientists to rethink the social structure of snow leopard populations.
　　Just for fun, we’ve even wondered: what would these leopards say if they saw their own sneaky and playful photos Of course, studying snow leopards is only half the battle. 　35　
　　There are some actions we can take to protect them. Like many at-risk animals, snow leopards are poached (偷猎) for their fur and bones. 　36　 Secondly, avoid attractions that allow visitors to pet snow leopards—these animals are often taken from the wild as part of the illegal wildlife trade. Finally, pick snow leopards as your class project topic! This lets you share how amazing they are with friends and family and explain why protecting them is so important.
A. Snow leopards have unique physical features.
B. Tracking these shy creatures is not an easy task.
C. Protecting them is truly the most important thing.

　　Creative digital technology has made it easier for everyone to play a part in wildlife protection. You don’t need to go to faraway forests or busy zoos. With a wristband (手环) and a mobile phone, you can connect with wild animals. Developed by the volunteer organization Easin, this wristband gives you a valuable chance to wear your love of natural world.
　　Tracking Wildlife
　　This wristband lets users “match” with animals like finless porpoises (江豚). They can check updates on the animals’ daily lives every two to five days. They can get information on finless porpoises’ activities in the Poyang Lake area, such as making new friends or spending time with their family.
　　Digital Adoption
　　Hongshan Zoo has a yearly program on its mini-program. Anyone can adopt (收养) animals like koalas and tigers online. Adopters can get regular monthly photo albums, live videos of the animals and notes from keepers, and attend online meetings to learn about animal protection.
　　Building Connections
　　Digital platforms transform individual participation into collective conservation power. By combining citizen science with growing ecological databases, everyday actions like photo-sharing contribute to AI-assisted research. These connections change personal engagement and public responsibility into broader, actionable protection networks.
　　Besides, several offline activities are planned for wildlife lovers, including a Wildlife Observation Tour and a free Eco-Experience Day. If you want to know more information about these activities, please CLICK HERE.

　　Koalas are known for their furry ears, round faces, and big black noses. They spend most of their time sleeping in the treetops of eucalyptus (桉树) forests. Because they love staying high up and moving very little, it is hard to find these cute Australian animals. But a new method might make it easier.
　　In areas where koalas, kangaroos, and other animals live, scientists are using a new way to find them. They intercept DNA floating in the air using filters (过滤器) made of cheesecloth, a type of cloth often found in kitchens. These filters are placed between two metal plates. The scientists tested this method at 26 sites in four nature reserves in Queensland, Australia. At each site, they placed two filters—one about 1. 5 meters above the ground with a fan to draw in air, and the other closer to the ground.
　　After a few days, the researchers collected the filters and studied the material caught in them. They were happy to find koalas’ DNA as well as DNA from eleven other species that live in the area.
　　Koala populations have dropped a lot in recent years because of wildfires and diseases. In 2022, the Australian government said that koalas are endangered in some parts of the country. To help protect them, scientists have used advanced tools like thermal imaging drones (无人驾驶飞机) and sound recorders to find koalas. But so far, the new method is the easiest way.
　　“Some of the work in this study is really an important step, ” said an ecologist. The experiment was done in an uncontrolled environment, where things like strong winds or rain could affect the results. “The fact that they were still able to have some success is really encouraging, ” he said.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员开发了一种通过空气DNA捕捉寻找考拉的新方法, 这一方法比传统工具更便捷, 并在自然环境中初步验证成功, 为保护濒危考拉提供了新思路。
28. What does the underlined word “intercept” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Measure. 　　 B. Create. C. Limit. D. Catch.
【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据下一段“After a few days, the researchers collected the filters and studied the material caught in them. They were happy to find koalas’ DNA as well as DNA from eleven other species that live in the area. (几天后, 研究人员收集了过滤器, 并研究了其中的物质。他们很高兴地发现了考拉的DNA, 以及生活在该地区的其他11种物种的DNA。)”可知, 研究人员通过过滤器截获空气中含有的生活在该地区的物种的DNA, 画线词意思应该是“截获”, 与Catch“捕捉”意思最接近。故选D。
29. What can we infer from the passage about the new method of finding koalas
A. It can only detect koalas’ DNA in controlled environments.
B. It has completely replaced thermal imaging drones in koala research.
C. It is more convenient than traditional advanced tools for finding koalas.
D. It fails to collect DNA from species other than koalas in the tested areas.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第四段中“To help protect them, scientists have used advanced tools like thermal imaging drones and sound recorders to find koalas. But so far, the new method is the easiest way. (为了保护它们, 科学家们使用了热成像无人机和录音机等先进工具来寻找考拉。但到目前为止, 新方法是最简单的方法。)”可推知, 新方法比传统先进工具更方便寻找考拉。故选C。
30. Which of the following describes the ecologist’s attitude to the study
A. Supportive. 　 B. Uncertain.
C. Doubtful. 　　 D. Disappointed.
【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据最后一段中生态学家所说的话“Some of the work in this study is really an important step (这项研究中的一些工作确实是重要的一步)”和“The fact that they were still able to have some success is really encouraging (他们仍然能够取得一些成功, 这一事实确实令人鼓舞)”可知, 生态学家评价该研究是重要的一步且令人鼓舞, 表明对该研究持支持态度。故选A。
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To request the government to make a difference.
B. To stress the influence of environmental problems.
C. To introduce a new technique in protecting koalas.
D. To make koalas’ living conditions known to more people.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。通读全文, 尤其是第一段中“Because they love staying high up and moving very little, it is hard to find these cute Australian animals. But a new method might make it easier. (因为它们喜欢待在高处, 很少移动, 所以很难找到这些可爱的澳大利亚动物。但一种新方法可能会让它变得更容易。)”可知, 文章围绕通过空气DNA检测追踪考拉的新技术展开, 并对比传统工具, 肯定新技术的重要价值。由此推知, 作者的写作目的是介绍一种保护考拉的新技术。故选C。

　　Here’s a smarter way to study snow leopards: let them take time to research scientists themselves.
　　　32　 They live in remote (遥远的) mountain regions across Central and South Asia, such as the Pamir Mountains and parts of the Himalayas, with only about 4, 000 thought to remain in the wild. The harsh terrain, extreme weather conditions, and the leopards’ secretive nature all make close watching extremely challenging.
　　To solve this, the Snow Leopard Trust placed 40 cameras in Central Asia’s snow leopard habitats, aiming to record images of the cats in their natural environment. 　33　 These cameras are equipped (装备) with motion sensors, which can automatically start recording when a snow leopard passes by, avoiding the need for researchers to stay in the wild for a long time. Since then, the footage has helped experts piece together how these animals spend their days.
　　“One surprise we uncovered is that they’re more social than we expected—hanging out in pairs or small groups, and even playing together sometimes, ” explains Orjan Johansson, a scientist with the Snow Leopard Trust.
　　　34　 Previously (此前), researchers believed that snow leopards were mostly animals living alone, only coming together during the mating season. This new finding has made scientists to rethink the social structure of snow leopard populations.
　　Just for fun, we’ve even wondered: what would these leopards say if they saw their own sneaky and playful photos Of course, studying snow leopards is only half the battle. 　35　
　　There are some actions we can take to protect them. Like many at-risk animals, snow leopards are poached (偷猎) for their fur and bones. 　36　 Secondly, avoid attractions that allow visitors to pet snow leopards—these animals are often taken from the wild as part of the illegal wildlife trade. Finally, pick snow leopards as your class project topic! This lets you share how amazing they are with friends and family and explain why protecting them is so important.
A. Snow leopards have unique physical features.
B. Tracking these shy creatures is not an easy task.
C. Protecting them is truly the most important thing.
D. This has greatly improved the efficiency of snow leopard research.
E. Many people are unaware of the serious threats facing snow leopards.
F. Encourage your parents to avoid products made from wild animal parts.
G. It has changed scientists’ previous understanding of snow leopards’ behavior.

33. 【解析】选D。前文介绍雪豹信托基金会在栖息地安装40台相机记录影像, 后文说明相机搭载运动传感器, 雪豹经过就自动拍摄, 无需研究者长期驻守野外。D选项“这极大地提高了雪豹研究的效率。”承接相机监测的方法, 点明该手段的核心作用, 承上启下。故选D。
34. 【解析】选G。后文提到此前研究者认为雪豹基本独居, 仅交配期聚集, 但新发现让科学家重新思考其社会结构。G选项“它改变了科学家此前对雪豹行为的认知。”完美衔接新发现与旧认知, 对应后文的“rethink”。故选G。
35. 【解析】选C。前句“Of course, studying snow leopards is only half the battle. (当然, 研究雪豹仅成功了一半。)”暗示后文核心转向保护, 后文紧接着列举保护雪豹的具体措施。C选项“保护它们才是真正最重要的事。”完成从“研究”到“保护”的话题过渡, 引出下文。故选C。
36. 【解析】选F。后文出现“Secondly”“Finally”, 说明此处是第一条保护建议; 前文提到雪豹因皮毛和骨骼遭偷猎, 对应野生动物制品相关的保护举措。F选项“劝你的父母拒绝野生动物制品”是针对偷猎、非法贸易的第一条具体行动, 和后文的建议构成并列的措施列表。故选F。

　　From an airplane, cars crawling down the highway look like ants. But actual ants—unlike cars—somehow manage to avoid the stop-and-go traffic. Researchers are studying their cooperative strategies to learn how to program self-driving cars that don’t jam up.
　　The free flow of traffic becomes unstable as the density(密度)of cars increases on a highway. At 15 vehicles per mile per lane, one driver applying his brake can cause a wave of congestion(拥挤). “It’s a kind of phase transition(相变), like water turning from a liquid to a solid form, ” says Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist.
　　His previous research had shown that ants can maintain their flow even at high densities. So what’s their secret In a recent study, researchers found that the ants travel in groups of three to twenty that move at nearly constant speeds while keeping distances between one another—and they don’t speed up to pass others.
　　Human drivers at rush hour rarely follow such rules. “We’re maximizing the interests of individuals, which is why, at a given point, you start to have a traffic jam, ” says study co-author Nicola Pugno. But self-driving cars, if they one day become popular, would share information with nearby cars to make good use of traffic flow—perhaps, the researchers suggest, by prioritizing(优先考虑)constant speeds or by not passing others on the road.
　　Ants can do numerous things that self-driving can’t, Pinter Wollman points out. Ants can create a trail as wide as they like, unlike drivers stuck on highways. The insects do sometimes jam up when trapped in tunnels, but to keep things moving, “they’ll find a way to walk on the ceiling, ” she says. Plus, ants don’t crash; they can literally walk over one another.
　　Today’s drivers can learn at least one thing from ants, Nishinari says, “by leaving room between their car and the one ahead, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in dense traffic conditions that would otherwise be amplified(增强) into a traffic jam. ”
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员通过研究蚂蚁在高密度情况下仍能保持流畅通行的协作策略, 为自动驾驶汽车的交通优化提供参考的相关内容。
30. What enables ants to keep smooth traffic flow even at high densities
A. Central command system. B. Cooperative group interaction.

(在最近的一项研究中, 研究人员发现, 蚂蚁会以3到20只为一组行进, 它们以几乎恒定的速度移动, 同时保持彼此之间的距离, 而且不会加速超过其他蚂蚁。)”可知, 蚂蚁即使在高密度环境下也能保持流畅通行的原因是它们的协作群体互动模式。故选B。
31. How could self-driving cars potentially copy ants’ traffic strategies
A. Road expansion.
B. Complete avoidance of braking.
C. Inter-vehicle data sharing networks.
D. Prioritizing top speed achievement.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第四段中“But self-driving cars, if they one day become popular, would share information with nearby cars to make good use of traffic flow — perhaps, the researchers suggest, by prioritizing constant speeds or by not passing others on the road. (但研究人员表示, 如果自动驾驶汽车有朝一日普及开来, 它们会与附近的汽车共享信息, 以充分利用交通流量——或许可以通过优先保持恒定速度或不超车的方式实现。)”可知, 自动驾驶汽车可以通过车与车之间的数据共享网络借鉴蚂蚁的交通策略。故选C。

A. Travelling in groups of 3 to 20. B. Traffic rule observation.
C. Computer-controlled decision making. D. Flexible navigation and crash avoidance.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第五段可知, 与被困在高速公路上的司机不同, 蚂蚁可以开辟任意宽度的行进路线。这些昆虫有时在被困隧道时也会出现拥堵, 但为了保持通行, 它们会想办法爬到隧道顶部行走。此外, 蚂蚁不会发生碰撞, 它们真的可以从彼此身上爬过去。故蚂蚁与自动驾驶汽车的不同之处在于其灵活的通行方式和防撞能力。故选D。
33. What would be the most appropriate title for the text
A. The Psychology Behind Human Traffic Congestion
B. Technical Barriers in Autonomous Vehicle Networks
C. Ants vs. Humans: Evolutionary Comparisons
D. Ants’ Amazing Traffic Rules: A Guide for Driverless Cars

　　Not every farmer is happy to have more beehives (蜂房)on their land; some worry about the cost and extra work. But as natural pollinators(传粉者)decrease in number and crops need better pollination to grow well, farmers’ harvests and healthy bee populations are becoming closely connected.
　　In many farming regions, cooperation is very important to protect bees—over one-third of bee species are now on the decrease. Agricultural scientists, farming cooperatives, and beekeepers are working together to create bee-friendly farms. Their methods vary from place to place, because different crops need different kinds of pollination support. The key to success is making beekeeping practical and profitable for everyone involved. For instance, some programs offer farmers small payments if they maintain healthy hives on their land.
　　In fruit-growing regions like California’s Central Valley, farmers are using “smart hive” technology. These special beehives have sensors that monitor temperature, humidity, and bee activity. Farmers receive warnings on their phones about hive health, allowing them to care for bees more effectively. The healthier bees pollinate more thoroughly, leading to larger and better-quality fruits. This system helps beekeepers manage more hives with less guess. In some orchards, these smart hives have increased fruit output by up to 30%.
　　In areas growing crops like sunflowers in France and Canada, organizations like “BeeFuture” help farmers create “bee highways”—continuous rows of wildflowers planted along field edges. These flower areas provide bees with food throughout the growing season. BeeFuture also trains local beekeepers in modern hive management techniques. Their simple goal is to keep both farms and bee populations healthy, especially as climate change threatens both. Last year, their programs helped protect over 100, 000 acres of bee-friendly farmland.
　　Even as these new approaches offer hope, challenges continue to grow. With pesticides (杀虫剂) still widely used and natural habitats decreasing, a question remains: can bee-friendly farming spread fast enough to turn around the decrease This makes the work to protect pollinators a true race against time.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍由于自然传粉者数量减少, 为实现农作物良好授粉与蜜蜂种群健康发展, 不同地区采取合作方式打造蜜蜂友好型农场, 如提供小额补贴、运用智能蜂房技术、创建“蜜蜂高速公路”等, 但保护蜜蜂仍面临诸多挑战, 需争分夺秒。
34. Why are small payments offered to the farmers
A. To buy more bee-friendly farms. B. To explore more methods of farming.
C. To encourage them to keep healthy bees. D. To improve their hive management skills.

These flower areas provide bees with food throughout the growing season. (在法国和加拿大等种植向日葵等作物的地区, 像‘蜜蜂未来’这样的组织帮助农民打造‘蜜蜂高速公路’——在田地边缘连续种植一排排野花。这些花卉区域在整个生长季节为蜜蜂提供食物)”可知, “蜜蜂高速公路”的目的是为蜜蜂提供食物, 即喂养蜜蜂。故选A。
37. What does the author suggest by saying “a true race against time”
A. New methods are widely applied. B. Bee-friendly farms are developing fast.
C. More efforts are needed to protect bees. D. Pollination is a time-consuming process.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段“由于杀虫剂仍被广泛使用, 自然栖息地不断减少, 一个问题依然存在: 对蜜蜂友好的农业方式能否迅速普及, 扭转蜜蜂数量下降的趋势 这使得保护传粉者的工作成为一场真正与时间的赛跑”可知, 因为保护蜜蜂面临诸多严峻挑战, 所以作者说“与时间的真正赛跑”是暗示需要付出更多努力来保护蜜蜂。故选C。

　　A new United Nations (UN) report says one-fifth of the world’s migratory (迁徙的) animals are at risk of disappearing. Animals that migrate move from one area to another at different times of the year.
　　The threats (威胁) the animals face include habitat loss, illegal hunting, pollution and natural disasters. Many kinds of migratory animals, including songbirds, sea turtles, whales, sharks and others, move to different environments as the seasons change.
　　The UN report says about 44 percent of migratory species around the world are decreasing in population. In addition, about one in five of 1, 200 species watched by the UN are at risk of becoming endangered, or completely disappearing.
　　These are species that move around the globe. They move to feed and breed and also need sites to stop along the way. Any habitat loss or other threats during their trips can make the animal populations fall. “Migration is important to some species. If you cut the migration, you’re going to kill the species, ” said an expert.
　　The researchers examined existing data, including information from the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species. The list identifies wildlife across the world facing threats at present.
　　The report was presented at a meeting of the UN’s Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Attendees of the gathering are examining suggestions for conservation measures. They are also working to identify new species of concern. Susan Lieberman is vice president of the international policy at the Wildlife Conservation Society, a non-governmental organization. She said, “One country alone cannot save any of these species. ”
20. What does the UN report mainly show
A. Most animals are disappearing. B. Migratory species are increasing.
C. Migratory animals face some threats. D. Most species face some natural disasters.
21. What does migration mean to some species according to the expert in Paragraph 4
A. Losing their competitors. B. A matter of life and death.
C. A lack of food and movement. D. Destroying their habitats.
22. What can we infer from Susan Lieberman’s words in Paragraph 6
A. It is difficult to identify migratory animals.
B. It is impossible to protect migratory animals.
C. Rescuing migratory species depends on policies.
D. Rescuing migratory species requires global efforts.
23. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Human Activities Are Affecting Wildlife
B. International Meetings Push Animal Protection
C. Some Migratory Animals Are at Risk of Extinction
D. Many More Animals Are Regarded as Endangered Species

　　When it comes to invertebrates (无脊椎动物), most of us think about bees, worms, or perhaps even a jellyfish. But did you know that at least two-thirds of invertebrates work the night shift, meaning many are unlikely to be seen They use the light of the moon and stars to learn about the world and make important decisions. Many insects use the weak light of the moon or stars to tell which way is up when flying in complete darkness.
　　For centuries, artificial (人造的) light has been a sign of technological advance. Light has shaped human civilization. But while we enjoy its convenience, we often overlook the darker side of lighting: light pollution. It harms ecosystem, with serious results for wildlife, human health and energy use. A 2021 study found that caterpillar (毛毛虫) numbers were 52% lower in areas with street lights. The winter moth is a small but important species. In early spring its caterpillars provide key food for blue tit chicks. But light pollution confuses the adult moths, breaks up mating and influences egg-laying, leading to fewer caterpillars. With falling caterpillar numbers, blue tits find it hard to feed their young.
　　In one sense, light pollution is quite easy to solve—we can simply not turn on the lights. But in fact, this is mostly not possible as lights serve human life. If we cannot turn off the lights, there are other management approaches to lessen harm: control their number, weaken them and shorten their on-time.
　　However, it remains unclear how much artificial light influences invertebrates. These changes probably influence their health and life, so more studies are needed to understand what difficulties artificial light brings to them. We need experts from different fields to work together to understand the wider influence of artificial light on wildlife biodiversity and ecosystem health, and to find proper solutions.
24. What do we know about most of invertebrates
A. They are dying out. B. They are active at night.
C. They use darkness to hide. D. They depend on natural light to live.
25. What does the 2021 study show
A. The danger of street lights. B. The importance of caterpillars.
C. The effect of light pollution on ecosystem. D. The challenge of protecting wild animals.
26. What is author’s view on turning off the lights
A. Thankful. B. Positive. C. Unrealistic. D. Unconcerned.
27. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Night Animals: What Are Their Secrets
B. Caterpillar Decrease: What Is the Real Cause
C. Artificial Light: Should We Turn It Off Or Not
D. The Night Shift: How Does Light Pollution Harm Nature

　　Wildlife plays an important role in our daily life. From maintaining healthy forests to inspiring scientific discoveries, wildlife helps the natural systems we depend on. 　28　 To preserve this irreplaceable part of our world, we must act now.
　　Volunteer for wildlife conservation. There are many ways to volunteer, and not all of them need to be through an organization. 　29　 You can also volunteer to teach visitors about wildlife at your local animal shelter or provide help in rescuing wild animals. This gives you and others a better understanding of wild animals.
　　　30　 Although tourism can affect nature, wildlife can be significantly protected using the money raised through tourism. Always ensure that any trip is to a place that puts the animals first. By visiting these well-managed wildlife parks, your entry fees help protect animals and their homes.
　　Preserve wildlife habitat. Another way to save wildlife is by ensuring you spare their habitat whenever you come across them. This means caring for rivers, wetlands, forests, and all the natural spaces that animals call home. Even small actions matter, like staying on trails and not littering. 　31　
　　Use eco-friendly products. To ensure high crop yields, farmers have to use some agricultural products such as pesticides and fertilizers. However, these pesticides can significantly affect wildlife, especially when they drink polluted water. It is also possible that some wild animals are sprayed (喷洒) directly. 　32　 To save wildlife, you must make sure you are using eco-friendly products.
A. Visit wildlife reserves.
B. Without wildlife, our lives would not be possible.
C. You can simply help to clean beaches and woodland.
D. Raise money for wildlife conservation when traveling.
E. This can be deadly, causing poisoning or long-term population decline.

　　When it comes to invertebrates (无脊椎动物), most of us think about bees, worms, or perhaps even a jellyfish. But did you know that at least two-thirds of invertebrates work the night shift, meaning many are unlikely to be seen They use the light of the moon and stars to learn about the world and make important decisions. Many insects use the weak light of the moon or stars to tell which way is up when flying in complete darkness.
　　For centuries, artificial (人造的) light has been a sign of technological advance. Light has shaped human civilization. But while we enjoy its convenience, we often overlook the darker side of lighting: light pollution. It harms ecosystem, with serious results for wildlife, human health and energy use. A 2021 study found that caterpillar (毛毛虫) numbers were 52% lower in areas with street lights. The winter moth is a small but important species. In early spring its caterpillars provide key food for blue tit chicks. But light pollution confuses the adult moths, breaks up mating and influences egg-laying, leading to fewer caterpillars. With falling caterpillar numbers, blue tits find it hard to feed their young.
　　In one sense, light pollution is quite easy to solve—we can simply not turn on the lights. But in fact, this is mostly not possible as lights serve human life. If we cannot turn off the lights, there are other management approaches to lessen harm: control their number, weaken them and shorten their on-time.
　　However, it remains unclear how much artificial light influences invertebrates. These changes probably influence their health and life, so more studies are needed to understand what difficulties artificial light brings to them. We need experts from different fields to work together to understand the wider influence of artificial light on wildlife biodiversity and ecosystem health, and to find proper solutions.

　　Wildlife plays an important role in our daily life. From maintaining healthy forests to inspiring scientific discoveries, wildlife helps the natural systems we depend on. 　28　 To preserve this irreplaceable part of our world, we must act now.
　　Volunteer for wildlife conservation. There are many ways to volunteer, and not all of them need to be through an organization. 　29　 You can also volunteer to teach visitors about wildlife at your local animal shelter or provide help in rescuing wild animals. This gives you and others a better understanding of wild animals.
　　　30　 Although tourism can affect nature, wildlife can be significantly protected using the money raised through tourism. Always ensure that any trip is to a place that puts the animals first. By visiting these well-managed wildlife parks, your entry fees help protect animals and their homes.
　　Preserve wildlife habitat. Another way to save wildlife is by ensuring you spare their habitat whenever you come across them. This means caring for rivers, wetlands, forests, and all the natural spaces that animals call home. Even small actions matter, like staying on trails and not littering. 　31　
　　Use eco-friendly products. To ensure high crop yields, farmers have to use some agricultural products such as pesticides and fertilizers. However, these pesticides can significantly affect wildlife, especially when they drink polluted water. It is also possible that some wild animals are sprayed (喷洒) directly. 　32　 To save wildlife, you must make sure you are using eco-friendly products.
A. Visit wildlife reserves.
B. Without wildlife, our lives would not be possible.
C. You can simply help to clean beaches and woodland.

Hello, everyone!
　　I’m Li Hua. Today, I’d like to talk about wildlife protection. It is wildlife that plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems—an essential part of nature that we can never replace. If wild animals disappear, many plant species will die out, and human life will be severely affected as well.
　　To protect them, first, we should refuse to buy products made from wild animals. Only when the government sets up more nature reserves can wild animals have safe habitats to live in. Additionally, we need to raise people’s awareness of wildlife protection through various activities.
　　Let’s act together to protect our animal friends! Thank you!
