(2020·瑞安高三模擬)A biologist once criticized for stealing eggs from the nests of the rarest bird in the world has been awarded the “Nobel Prize” of conservation after his methods saved nine species from extinction.
Professor Carl Jones won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize—the highest accolade in the field of animal conservation—for his 40 years of work in Mauritius, where he saved an endangered kestrel(紅隼) from becoming the next Great Auk.
When the 65-year-old first travelled to the east African island in the 1970s, he was told to close down a project to save the Mauritius kestrel. At the time there were just four left in the wild, making it the rarest bird on Earth. However, he stayed, using the techniques of captive breeding (人工繁殖), which involved snatching eggs from the birds’ nests and hatching them under incubators(孵化器), prompting the mothers to lay another set of eggs in the wild.
A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild. The biologist has also made an effort to bring other rare species back from the edge of extinction, including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet and Rodrigues warbler.
Prof. Jones was awarded the $250，000 prize at a ceremony in London.
“As a young man in my 20s, I certainly didn’t enjoy the stress and the tension of the criticism I received.” Reflecting on the start of his career, he said the Mauritius kestrel project had been seen as a “dead loss” at the time. In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques, with critics arguing that they were too risky and took the emphasis off breeding in the wild.
Prof. Jones has devoted his whole life to his work, only becoming a father for the first time at 53. He said receiving the prize was particularly important to him, because it proved that his work to save birds was right.
【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】　卡爾·瓊斯教授曾因偷稀缺鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)的蛋而被指責(zé)，但后來(lái)在保護(hù)動(dòng)物領(lǐng)域被授予諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)，因?yàn)樗麑⑼祦?lái)的蛋進(jìn)行了人工繁殖，并以此方法挽救了九種瀕危物種。
1．What does the underlined word “accolade” mean in paragraph 2?
A．Return.　　　　　　　　 B．Level.
C．Honor. D．Research.
C　解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫(huà)線(xiàn)詞前的“won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize”并結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可推知，畫(huà)線(xiàn)詞意為“榮譽(yù)”。
2．What can we know from the figures in paragraph 4?
A．Taking eggs from the nests has worked well.
B．The wild environment for kestrel has changed a lot.
C．Kestrel has adapted to the life in the wild.
D．It’s difficult to protect kestrel.
A　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段最后兩句以及第四段第一句“A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild.”可知，當(dāng)時(shí)野生毛里求斯紅隼只剩4只，瓊斯教授采用人工繁殖的方法來(lái)救助毛里求斯紅隼，10年后，毛里求斯紅隼的數(shù)量飆升到300多只，如今野生紅隼約有400只。由此可推知，從鳥(niǎo)巢中拿出鳥(niǎo)蛋的方法效果很好。
3．Prof. Jones’ idea of taking eggs from the birds’ nests ________．
A．was proved of no use
B．was widely accepted
C．was promoted officially
D．was criticized by some people
D　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“dead loss”及“In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques...in the wild.”可知，瓊斯教授從鳥(niǎo)巢中拿出鳥(niǎo)蛋來(lái)進(jìn)行人工繁殖的方法受到了一些人的批評(píng)。
B
We’re often reminded of the importance of preserving the planet as we see it for future generations—and children at St Oswald’s CE Primary School Chester certainly agree.
Nine-year-old Isobel Kelleher from the school’s Hummingbirds class thinks adults need to take note. “Sometimes they can be busy and I don’t think they think they can make a difference, but if everyone does a little bit it all adds up，” she tells HuffPost UK. “We started looking at plastic pollution in our oceans and the things like plastic bags that are polluting them，” she says. “Fish can eat the plastic and they can die, or we might even eat the fish ourselves.”
Mr. Timms, Isobel’s teacher, has been spearheading a new project at the school which lets children loose creatively to raise awareness of the need to be more environmentally friendly. The entire Hummingbirds class, which is made up of 9-and 10-year-old pupils, has been busy writing poems and creating online video adverts to warn adults about the serious situation of our oceans and wildlife.
Mr. Timms thinks children have an important role to play in teaching us how to take care of the things around us. “We sometimes overlook how much we can really learn from children，” he says. “It has been really hard to believe having parents come in saying that their children have been asking them to stop using plastic, and to recycle more, and even stopping them using plastic straws.”
Mr. Timms is proud of his Hummingbirds class. The message that they would like to send to world is simple: stopping this isn’t someone else’s job, and it won’t be OK if we just leave it.
【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】　本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，主要介紹了“蜂鳥(niǎo)班”積極響應(yīng)一個(gè)環(huán)保教育項(xiàng)目。該班由9歲和10歲的孩子組成，他們通過(guò)寫(xiě)詩(shī)和制作在線(xiàn)視頻廣告以提醒成年人注意環(huán)保問(wèn)題。
4．What can we infer about adults according to Isobel Kelleher?
A．They just pretend to be busy.
B．They haven’t done their part well.
C．They can do nothing to stop pollution.
D．They have started to care about the ocean.
B　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容，尤其是第一句“Nine-year-old Isobel Kelleher from the school’s Hummingbirds class thinks adults need to take note.”可知，學(xué)?！胺澍B(niǎo)班”里九歲的伊澤貝爾認(rèn)為成年人需要注意環(huán)保問(wèn)題。據(jù)此可推知，成年人在環(huán)保問(wèn)題上沒(méi)有做得很好，故B項(xiàng)正確。
5．What is the purpose of the school project?
A．To help adults to learn more about their kids.
B．To remind adults to be friendly to the environment.
C．To persuade students to stop using plastic bags.
D．To teach students how to write poems creatively.
B　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段尾句“The entire Hummingbirds class, which is made up of 9-and 10-year-old pupils, has been busy writing poems and creating online video adverts to warn adults about the serious situation of our oceans and wildlife.”可知，整個(gè)“蜂鳥(niǎo)班”由9歲和10歲的學(xué)生組成，他們一直忙著寫(xiě)詩(shī)和制作在線(xiàn)視頻廣告，提醒成年人海洋和野生動(dòng)物所處的嚴(yán)重處境。據(jù)此可知，該項(xiàng)目旨在提醒成年人要注意環(huán)保問(wèn)題，故B項(xiàng)正確。
6．Why does Mr. Timms mention parents in paragraph 4?
A．To prove kids are creative in teaching.
B．To attract people to support his work.
C．To have adults care about education.
D．To show the effects of the project.
D　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段尾句“It has been really hard to believe having parents come in saying that their children have been asking them to stop using plastic, and to recycle more, and even stopping them using plastic straws.”可知，真的很難相信有父母說(shuō)孩子們要求他們停止使用塑料，甚至要求他們停止使用塑料吸管。據(jù)此可推知，該段提及父母旨在說(shuō)明該項(xiàng)目對(duì)成年人的影響，故D項(xiàng)正確。
7．What is the text mainly about?
A．An inspiring school project.
B．An appeal to stop using plastic bags.
C．Serious situations of our planet.
D．Adults’ ignorance of the environment.
A　解析：主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，文章第三段第一句“Mr. Timms, Isobel’s teacher, has been spearheading a new project at the school which lets children loose creatively to raise awareness of the need to be more environmentally friendly.”為全文的主題句，結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容可知，本文主要介紹了“蜂鳥(niǎo)班”積極響應(yīng)一個(gè)環(huán)保教育項(xiàng)目，該班由9歲和10歲的孩子組成，他們通過(guò)寫(xiě)詩(shī)和制作在線(xiàn)視頻廣告，提醒成年人注意環(huán)保問(wèn)題。故A項(xiàng)正確。
【難句分析】　Mr. Timms, Isobel’s teacher, has been spearheading a new project at the school which lets children loose creatively to raise awareness of the need to be more environmentally friendly.
分析：本句是一個(gè)主從復(fù)合句。句中“which lets children loose creatively to raise awareness of the need to be more environmentally friendly”為which引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句，修飾先行詞a new project, which在從句中作主語(yǔ)。
譯文：伊澤貝爾的老師蒂姆斯先生一直在學(xué)校領(lǐng)導(dǎo)一個(gè)新項(xiàng)目，該項(xiàng)目讓孩子們創(chuàng)造性地放松，以增強(qiáng)需要更加環(huán)保的意識(shí)。
Ⅱ.七選五
How to Cultivate Confidence?
When faced with a big challenge where potential failure seems to appear at every corner, maybe you’ll hear this advice: Be more confident. 1.________ Take the belief that you are precious and capable, also known as self-esteem. Confidence turns thoughts into action. It comes from the genes you are born with, the way people get used to treating you as well as the choices you make. While it isn’t possible to completely separate these three factors, the personal choices we make obviously play a major role in confidence development. As a result, by keeping certain practical tips in mind, we do actually have the power to cultivate our own confidence.
2．________ If you’re looking for a long-term change, consider the way you think about your abilities and talents. Do you think they are fixed at birth, or that they can be developed? These beliefs matter because they can influence how you act in face of setbacks. If you have a fixed mindset, meaning that your talents are locked in the place, you might give up, assuming you’ve discovered something you’re not good at. But if you have a growth mindset, and think your abilities can improve, a challenge will become an opportunity to learn and grow. Neuroscience(神經(jīng)科學(xué)) supports the latter. The connections in your brain do get stronger and grow with study and practice. 3.________
Practicing failure is a must. Failure happens. 4.________ J. K. Rowling was rejected by twelve different publishers before one picked up Harry Potter. The Wright brothers built on history’s failed attempts at flight before designing a successful airplane. Studies show that those who fail regularly and keep trying anyway are better equipped to respond to challenges in constructive ways. 5.________ So, think of a challenge you want to take on, realize it’s not going to be easy, accept that you’ll make mistakes, and be kind to yourself when you do. You’ll feel the excitement, knowing that whatever the result, you’ll have gained greater knowledge and understanding.
A．But what is confidence?
B．So can confidence be easily cultivated?
C．Everyone is possible to encounter failure.
D．Being a talented person is quite necessary.
E．They learn to try different strategies and persevere.
F．Believing in your abilities to improve is the first step.
G．It also turns out that people with a growth mindset are better at dealing with challenges.
【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】　文章主要介紹了兩條非常實(shí)用的培養(yǎng)自信心的建議：第一，相信自己的能力可以提高；第二，從失敗中汲取經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)。
1．A　解析：前一句給出要更加自信的建議，后一句是說(shuō)相信自己是有價(jià)值的、有能力的，這也是自尊，故A項(xiàng)“但是什么是自信？”符合語(yǔ)境，銜接上下文。
2．F　解析：根據(jù)文章結(jié)構(gòu)和空處所在位置可知，空處為該段的主題句。第一段最后一句是說(shuō)要記住幾條實(shí)用的建議，第二段第一句話(huà)應(yīng)該是第一條建議，并結(jié)合該段的內(nèi)容可知，本段主要講述要相信自己的能力可以提高，故F項(xiàng)“相信你的能力能提高是第一步”符合語(yǔ)境。
3．G　解析：根據(jù)上文中的“But if you have a growth mindset...grow with study and practice.”可知，如果你有成長(zhǎng)的心態(tài)，認(rèn)為你的能力可以提高，一項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)將變成學(xué)習(xí)和成長(zhǎng)的機(jī)會(huì)，你大腦里的聯(lián)系就會(huì)更強(qiáng)并且隨著學(xué)習(xí)和練習(xí)而增加。由此可知，空處應(yīng)是進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明有成長(zhǎng)心態(tài)的人的優(yōu)勢(shì)，故G項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。
4．C　解析：空前一句是說(shuō)失敗很常見(jiàn)；空后兩句又舉例說(shuō)明一些名人在成功之前遭遇的失敗，故C項(xiàng)“每個(gè)人都有可能經(jīng)歷失敗”符合語(yǔ)境，銜接上下文。
5．E　解析：空前一句是說(shuō)那些經(jīng)常失敗但一直堅(jiān)持的人會(huì)積極應(yīng)對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)，故E項(xiàng)“他們學(xué)著嘗試不同的策略并堅(jiān)持不懈”符合語(yǔ)境。
Ⅲ.語(yǔ)法填空
(2020·寧波高三模擬)Today, Mount Qomolangma’s peak is not a lonely place any more. Over 3，500 people have 1.____________(successful) climbed the mountain over the past year. Meanwhile, climbers have complained about 2.____________(wait) for hours in the bottlenecks.

【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】　文章主要介紹了珠穆朗瑪峰的污染情況以及現(xiàn)在采取的應(yīng)對(duì)污染的措施和取得的進(jìn)步。
1．successfully　解析：考查副詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空前的have和空后的climbed構(gòu)成謂語(yǔ)，此處應(yīng)用副詞來(lái)修飾，故填successfully。
2．waiting　解析：考查動(dòng)名詞。此處介詞about之后應(yīng)用動(dòng)名詞形式，故填waiting。
3．crowds　解析：考查名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)。根據(jù)空前的形容詞dangerous可知，空處應(yīng)用名詞形式，crowd“人群”為可數(shù)名詞，且句子的謂語(yǔ)aren’t為復(fù)數(shù)形式，故填復(fù)數(shù)形式crowds。
4．to bring　解析：考查動(dòng)詞不定式。此處表示所有這些登山者都需要帶著大量設(shè)備，故此處用need to do sth.“需要做某事”。
5．tallest　解析：考查形容詞的最高級(jí)。根據(jù)句中的the world’s表述“全世界范圍內(nèi)的”可知，此處表示最高級(jí)的含義，故填形容詞最高級(jí)tallest。
6．that　解析：考查名詞性從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)并結(jié)合句意可知，此處引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句，引導(dǎo)詞在從句中不充當(dāng)成分，僅起連接作用，故填that。
7．have collected　解析：考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)和主謂一致。根據(jù)句中的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)So far可知，此處表示截止到現(xiàn)在已收集的垃圾數(shù)量，所以應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)；又主語(yǔ)they為復(fù)數(shù)，故填have collected。
8．a(chǎn)　解析：考查冠詞。此處表示“一個(gè)更高的目標(biāo)”，表泛指，在文中第一次提到，且higher的發(fā)音以輔音音素開(kāi)頭，故填a。
9．in　解析：考查介詞。根據(jù)句意可知，此處表示“在尼泊爾的首都”，故填in“在(某范圍或空間內(nèi)的)某一點(diǎn)”。
10．is　解析：考查時(shí)態(tài)和主謂一致。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處為一般性描述，應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)；該句主語(yǔ)為“Part of the profit from sales”，此處表示單數(shù)概念，故填is。

Ⅱ.概要寫(xiě)作
閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫(xiě)一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。
Small talk. Chitchat. These are the short conversations we have at parties, while we wait in line at the store, at family events or work. Sometimes we make small talk with people we already know but not well. Often we have to make small talk with complete strangers. Many people find such small talk about random topics difficult. Some people say they hate it. Others say small talk is a waste of time. They may even call it idle chitchat or idle chatter, meaning it doesn’t do anything. They consider small talk not important. However, small talk is important.
Small talk can open doors that may lead to larger, more meaningful conversations. When you first meet someone or talk to someone you don’t know well, it would be awkward to begin a conversation about a really deep topic such as war, politics or the meaning of life.
Small talk also gives you the chance to decide if you want to get to know that person better or not. Let’s say you make small talk with someone at a party. But they only want to talk about cats. You may not want to build a friendship with them unless you really, really love cats.
Chitchat can also increase your feeling of understanding, toward people you know but not well. Chatting with a colleague about their child may help you to understand more of their life outside the office. This could help build healthy work relationships.
Small talk could even help your larger communities—your relationships with neighbors. Exchanging recipes with a neighbor in your apartment building may make her noises upstairs easier to live with.
In 2011, most commuters(通勤者) in the city of Chicago said they would enjoy “quiet cars” where they sat alone and did not talk to anybody. Researchers at the University of Chicago then asked some participants in a study to talk to people while commuting to work on a train. They found that those who made small talk with strangers were happier than those who sat alone.
