2、 be enough to conserve wildlife. Slowing the mass extinction that now appears to be underway will require more creative means of coexisting alongside wild plants and animals. A new study indicates the effectiveness of some such approaches by examining some lands managed by indigenous groups. “ We sh

And in some places， they are better than parks and preserves even though indigenous comm
4、unities may use their lands resources by hunting or searching for food. Schuster and his team analyzed more than 15， 000 areas in Australia， Brazil and Canada. They found that the total diversity of wildlife was highest on lands either managed or co managed by indigenous groups， while randomly selec

For threatened species in particular， indigenous lands scored slightly higher than protected lands on overall species richness in Brazil and Canada， as well as higher for threatened animals in Australia. Each country has a different geog
6、raphy， climate and history. Yet remarkably， Schuster says， the best indicator for species diversity is whether a given area was managed by an indigenous community. He pointed out that practices such as sustainable（可持续的） hunting， fishing and searching， as well as burning， are more likely to occur in
7、such areas. Don Hankins， an ecologist at California State University，agrees. “ there s probably going to be more of a connection to the land， ” he says， “ and a use of the land for the things that are there， compared to a national park. ” “ It s really important to listen to the people who live on t

DIndigenous lands do better in keeping biodiversity. 10Which of the following statements may Don Hankins agree with？ ASpecies diversity depends on geographical positions. BHumans everyday activities are no longer sustainable. CIndigenous

CSetting up nature reserves. DFighting against unsustainable behaviors. 【答案】 8B 9D 10C 11A 【解析】本文为议论文。文章
12、主要论述了在阻止物种的灭绝的方法中，国家公园和野生动物保护区对物种的保护远不如当地组织的管理保护。 8猜测词义题。第一段“Scientist， conservation organizations and government trying to stop the trend of extinction （灭绝） often focus on protected areas such as national parks and wildlife preserves. But with as many as million species（物种） at risk， this plan of ac
13、tion may not be enough to conserve wildlife.” 科学家、保护组织和政府试图阻止物种灭绝的趋势，往往把重点放在国家公园和野生动物保护区等保护区。但是，由于有多达百万种物种面临危险，这项行动计划可能不足以保护野生动物。由此可知这种国家公园和野生保护区有不足之处。 第二段“A new study indicates the effectiveness of some such approaches by examining some lands managed by indigenous groups.” 一项新的研究表明，通过审查“indigenous
14、groups”管理的一些方法是有效的。由此可知，这个管理是与前面“national parks and wildlife preserves.国家管理是不同的，是相对的。结合第三段中的“even though indigenous communities may use their lands resources ”即使“indigenous”社区利用他们自己的土地。由此可推断出与国家保护区不同的是当地的组织管理。分析选项可知 B 中的 native 意为“当地的，本地的，土著的”符合题意，故选 B。 9推理判断题。根据第四段“Schuster and his team analyzed mo
15、re than 15，000 areas in Australia， Brazil and Canada. They found that the total diversity of wildlife was highest on lands either managed or co managed by indigenous groups，while randomly selected areas with no formal protection were the least biodiverse. For threatened species in particular， indige
16、nous lands scored slightly higher than protected lands on overall species richness in Brazil and Canada， as well as higher for threatened animals in Australia.”可知，Richard Schuster 的团队分析了澳大利亚、巴西和加拿大的 15000 多个地区。他们发现，在由当地组织管理或共同管理的土地上，野生动物的多样性最高，而随机选择的没有正式保护的区域的生物多样性最低。特别是濒危的物种，在巴西和加拿大，本地管理的土地的物种丰富度略高
17、于受保护 土地，在澳大利亚，濒危的物种丰富度也高于受保护土地。由此可推断出当地的保护在保持生物多样性方面做得更好。故选 D。 10推理判断题。根据第四段 Don Hankins， an ecologist at California State University，agrees. “ there s probably going to be more of a connection to the land，.， compared to a national park. ” 他说:“与国家公园相比，（当地组织管理）可能会更多地与土地建立联系。”由此可推断出 C 项（土著群体与他们的土地有着密切
18、的联系）符合题意，故选 C。 11主旨大意题。第一段提出文章的主旨“Scientist， conservation organizations and government trying to stop the trend of extinction”。 科学家、保护组织和政府试图阻止物种灭绝的趋势。接着文章叙述了保护物种灭绝的重点只放在国家公园和野生动物保护区等保护区不足以保护野生动物。于是从第二段提出了一种新的方法当地组织的管理来阻止物种的灭绝。由此可推断出本文主要讲述有效地与物种的灭绝作斗争，即击退物种的灭绝。分析选项可知 A 项符合题意，故选 A。 2. （2020 届安徽省蚌埠市高三
19、第三次质检） I grew up in a Midwestern town where the popular wisdom was to only talk about what was pleasant and to keep secrets， if necessary， to make that happen.

The burden of holding in the truth doesn t just disappear. It hides in the back of your mind and can caus
22、e disorder to your life and health. “ If the situations in your daily life are regular reminders of the secret， and you find it stressful to keep it， then yes， it can have emotional（感情上的） and physical consequences， ” says Dr. Dean McKay. “ Some people also find keeping secrets stressful out of a gen
23、eral concern they will slip ， and this frequent thought of the secret can in itself be stressful. ” This difficulty is especially worse if you feel trapped by the secret， or if it brings up other unpleasant feelings like guilt， shame or anxiety. If you do decide that your secrets took your joy away

27、B 13D 14A 15B 【解析】本文为议论文。文章主要论述了隐藏真相，保守秘密对人是有害的。 12推理判断题。根据第一段中的“the popular wisdom was to only talk about what was pleasant and to keep secrets， if necessary， to make that happen.” 那里的人们普遍认为，只谈论令人愉快的事情，如果有必要的话，保守秘密，这是明智的做法。由此可推断出，B 项（不说出令人不快的真相）符合题意，故选 B。 13细节理解题。第四段“The truth can hurt. But in many
28、 situations， its better to get it out and let the recovery start, rather than allowing it to be more harmful.” 真相会伤害你。但在很多情况下，最好是把它释放出来，恢复痊愈，而不是让它更有害。由此可知，此处的建议就是把令人不快的真相暴露出来，故选 D。 14 推理判断题。 根据第五段“It hides in the back of your mind and can cause disorder to your life and health.” 它隐藏在你的内心深处，会给你的生活和健康
29、带来混乱。第六段“If the situations in your daily life are regular reminders of the secret， and you find it stressful to keep it， then yes， it can have emotional（感情上的） and physical consequences，” says Dr. Dean McKay. 如果你日常生活中的情况经常提醒你这个秘密，而你觉得保守它很有压力， 那么是的， 它可能会影响你的身心。 ”第七段“ Some people also find keeping secr
30、ets stressful out of a general concern they will slip ，and this frequent thought of the secret can in itself be stressful. ” 一些人还发现保守秘密会让他们感到压力，因为他们担心自己会出错，而这种频繁地想到秘密的想法本身就会让他们感到压力。第八段 This difficulty is especially worse if you feel trapped by the secret， or if it brings up other unpleasant feelings
31、 like guilt， shame or anxiety. 如果你觉得被这个秘密困住了，或者它带来了其他不愉快的感觉，比如内疚、羞愧或焦虑，那么这种困难就会变得更糟。最后一段的第一句 “your secrets took your joy away and would be better off being let out into the world” 你的秘密带走了你的快乐。 由此可推断出保守秘密对你的健康有害。故选 A。 15 推理判断题。 根据最后一段“if that secret doesnt put other people in physical danger， there a

33、ally on his shoulder. This powerful image has thrown into question the motivation for this kind of tourism, or ecotourism. Does our proximity (接近) to large animals in the wild, frequently fueled by a desire for exciting images, lead to such animals becoming accustomed to human contact? If that is th
34、e case, surely the losing side will end up paying the ultimate price for such proximity. To my sorrow, I have recently returned from a trip to Svalbard, and indeed stood two weeks ago on the very beach where the bear was shot. The bears death should never have happened. Was the beach examined from t

The incident is probably the result of a terrible systemic failure. Nevertheless, the incident should not negate the value of ecotourism.
36、In its best form, this kind of travel has very little impact, or indeed has a positive effect, on the environment where it takes place. This can be by making financial donations to conservation groups, providing income to local communities, or ensuring protection of certain areas or animals. In Sval

CThe proper procedures werent probably followed. DThe beach wasnt probably equipped with safety devices. 9What is the th
