26、

The British summer is beautiful. Trees, flowers, birds and butterflies make the whole country look like a big garden. However, many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this nice scenery during the past several years. What has happened to them?

Butterfly Conservation, a charity in the UK, is running a survey to help answer this question. The result is more serious than people expected. According to the survey, among 59 butterfly species (物种) found in the British Isles, more than three-quarters of them are suffering a declining (衰弱) population, including the most popular Meadow Brown. Moreover, half of all butterfly species are dying out.

Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping sharply. The Wall butterfly cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England. And the Blue butterfly, which was commonly seen in the south, has started settling in Edinburgh in the past few years.

The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their living conditions are also degrading.

Luckily, Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers. Scientists believe the warm weather will be good news to the butterflies.

Sir David Attenborough, president of Butterfly Conservation, said, “A great number of butterflies around us is a signal that all is well with nature. But when they decline, it’s a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way.”

The survey is still going on. The public is also encouraged to focus on the UK’s butterfly population. The organizers hope the survey will help more and more people realize the value of butterflies in the UK. Butterflies give a symbol of the well-being of nature and the environment.

【1】What has the survey taken by Butterfly Conservation found?

A．The UK butterflies enjoy a cool climate.

B．The UK butterflies prefer settling in the north.

C．The number of the UK butterflies is getting smaller.

D．Butterflies make the British summer more attractive.

【2】How does the writer support the findings of the survey in Paragraph 3?

A．By listing examples (举例子).

B．By providing data (列数据).

C．By giving explanations (作解释).

D．By making comments (作评价).

【3】What does the underlined word “degrading” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Turning better.

B．Getting worse.

C．Keeping the same.

D．Becoming different.

【4】Butterfly Conservation expects their survey to ______.

A．warn people to care more about the change of weather

B．keep the charity running more smoothly than ever before

C．help the British government protect nature and the environment

D．help the British better understand how important the butterflies are

27、The novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) has already made tens of thousands of people sick. Where did the virus come from? Scientists say it probably came from bats.

Bats can carry and transmit (传播) more than 60 viruses that can infect (传染) humans, Live Science noted. They include the world’s deadliest viruses, such as Ebola and HIV. Due to their strong immune systems (免疫系统), bats are able to host these viruses and not get sick. At the same time, the viruses keep developing inside the bats to create new variants (变体). These variants can then infect new hosts, such as other wild animals.

Pangolins (穿山甲), for example, might be an intermediate host (中间宿主) for NCP, according to a recent study by Chinese scientists. This means that bats might have given the virus to pangolins, with pangolins then spreading it to humans.

Wild animals like snakes, hedgehogs (刺猬) and bamboo rats also carry various viruses. But since they live in the wild, there should be little chance for humans to come into contact with them and get infected – unless the animals are eaten or used to make animal products. When people hunt, buy and eat wild animals, they can introduce viruses to the rest of the population.

But this doesn’t mean that we should kill wild animals. Each species has a role in the ecosystem (生态系统) and all of them are important in keeping a natural ecological balance. The lesson we can learn from disease outbreaks is to respect and protect animals and to live in harmony with them instead of hunting, killing, or eating them.

【1】Why can bats host many viruses without getting sick?

A．Because these viruses are not deadly.

B．Because they have strong immune systems.

C．Because the viruses are kept in balance.

D．Because they can spread the viruses to other animals.

【2】According to a recent study, humans might get infected with COVID-19 from________.

A．pangolins

B．snakes

C．hedgehogs

D．bamboo rats

【3】What does the word “harmony” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．隔离

B．和谐

C．伤害

D．集中

【4】According to the story, what lesson should humans learn?

A．Research more about wild animals.

B．Exercise regularly to stay healthy.

C．Stop keeping animals as pets.

D．Don’t buy or eat wild animals.

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。

You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the p  【1】 where you learn to get along well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don’t like one of your classmates?

If you d  【2】  that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance(宽容). Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the w  【3】 that other people do, so it is important to learn to live h  【4】 with them.

Tolerance will make everyone get on b 【5】  with each other. Knowing others constantly(不断地) makes us understand others’ differences.

Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance t  【6】  us to keep an even temper(温和的脾气) and an open mind.

You need to remember an old saying, “Treat others how you want to be treated.” You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, s  【7】 it is important to treat them kindly too. If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or w  【8】  you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not to try to make them change.

It is important to practice tolerance because it will make e 【9】  life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and i  【10】. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make things better.
