)A．TheyabsorbmoreCO2.B．TheyhelpturnCO2intosolids.C．Theyreleaseoxygenquickly.D．Theyliveinharmonywithbacteria．

答案：B解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知，肯尼亚发现的树木特殊之处在于，它们能通过一系列过程将二氧化碳转化为草酸钙，进而转化为碳酸钙，使二氧化碳以固态形式长期封存。故选B。2．Whatisthecorechallengebeforeapplyingthediscoveryglobally？(

)A．Assessingthecostoftheprocess.B．Understandingtheimpactonsoil.C．QuantifyingtheCO2transformation.D．Collectingthedataonbiodiversity.答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段“TheprimaryconcernisdeterminingtheexactamountofCO2thatthesetreescantransformthroughouttheirlifetime.Withoutthisaccuratedata,itischallengingtoassessthefullimpactofthismethodglobally.”可知，在全球应用这一发现前，核心挑战是确定这类树木在生命周期内转化二氧化碳的精确量，即对二氧化碳转化量进行量化。故选C。3．Whatdoestheauthortrytoexploreinthelasttwoparagraphs？(

)A．Theseriousnessofclimatechange.B．Themethodofgreendevelopment.C．Theprospectofscientificapproaches.D．Theroleofnatureinclimatesolutions.答案：D解析：推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“ThisdiscoveryinKenyainvitesustoreconsiderthepotentialofnaturalprocessesinaddressingenvironmentalchallenges.”以及最后一段可知，作者在最后两段中，通过肯尼亚树木的发现，重点探讨了自然过程在应对气候变化、解决环境问题中的潜力与作用，强调应结合自然方法应对气候挑战。故选D。4．Whatcanbeasuitabletitleforthetext？(

)A．AdefensiveStrategyinNatureB．ARecentAdvanceinCO2ResearchC．KenyanTrees:ANaturalCarbonLockD．TreePlanting:AKeytoEcologicalBalance答案：C解析：标题归纳题。根据文章第二段“However,thediscoveryofcertaintreesinKenyaaddsanewdimensiontothisnaturalprocess.Thesetrees,alsofoundinseveralothercountries,havebeenobservedtotransformCO2intocalciumoxalate.”以及全文内容可知，全文围绕肯尼亚发现的特殊树木能将二氧化碳转化为固态碳酸钙长期封存展开，先对比传统树木固碳的不足，再介绍该类树木的独特固碳过程、当前研究挑战，最后强调其对利用自然应对气候变化的意义，核心主题是肯尼亚树木的天然固碳作用。选项C“肯尼亚树木：天然的碳锁”准确概括了全文内容。故选C。B(2025·武汉部分高中调研)Withasurfacehotenoughtomeltleadinitsatmosphere,Venushasbeendescribedas“Earth'seviltwin”—similarinsize,yetworldsapart.ThequestionofwhetherVenuswaseverhabitablehaslongbeenahottopicamongscientists.Someastronomersbelievetheplanetwasoncemuchmorehospitable,butarecentresearchbyTerezaConstantinou,aPhDstudentfromtheUniversityofCambridge,hasnowdealtablowtotheideathatiteverhostedlifeasweknowit.ConstantinounotedthatearlyintheformationofVenus,theplanetwascoveredinavastseaofmagma(岩浆).Ifthiscooledquickly,waterwouldformoceansorbetrappedasitcrystallised(结晶),meaningtheplanet'sinterior(内部)wouldbewater-rich.Asaresult,waterwouldbereleasedwhenvolcanoeserupt.“IfyoulookatanyphotosofvolcanismonEarth,youcanseetheselargecloudscomingout.Mostofthatiswater，”saidConstantinou.Butifthemagmacooledslowly,waterwouldhaveendedupassteamintheatmosphere.Inthissituation,waterwouldnotbetrappedinsidetheinterioroftheplanet.ConstantinouandhiscolleaguesstudiedchangesintheVenusianatmospheretocastlightonthewatercontentofitsinterior.Whentheyanalysedtheamountofsubstancesbeingrefilled,theyfoundverylittlewaterwasbeingadded.Inotherwords,volcaniceruptionsare“dry”.“TheshortageofwaterinvolcanicreleasereflectsanequallydryVenusianinterior，”saidConstantinou.TheteamannouncedthattheirfindingsdidnotsupportthetheorythatVenushadsurfaceoceansofwaterinitspast,orahabitableclimate.Theirconclusioncouldsoonbetested.Laterthisdecade,NASAissettolaunchamissiontocarryoutfly-bysofVenus.ConstantinousaidresolvingthequestioncouldhelpastronomersruleoutVenusasahabitableplanetnowthatthedryinteriorofVenussuggestsitneverhastheoceansofliquidwatertraditionallythoughtnecessaryforlifetobegin.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了金星虽与地球大小相似却环境恶劣，其是否宜居存争议。剑桥大学康斯坦丁努团队研究发现，金星内部缺水、火山喷发“干燥”，不支持其曾有地表水和宜居气候的说法，NASA未来探测或验证结论。5．Whatisthefindingoftherecentresearch？(

)A．VenusisEarth'sidenticaltwin.B．Venussetsthewholeworldapart.C．Venuswasunlikelytosustainlife.D．Venuswasmorehabitablethanthought.答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Someastronomersbelievetheplanetwasoncemuchmorehospitable,butarecentresearchbyTerezaConstantinou,aPhDstudentfromtheUniversityofCambridge,hasnowdealtablowtotheideathatiteverhostedlifeasweknowit.”可知，最近的研究得出的结论是金星不太可能曾经存在过生命。故选C。6．WhatisParagraph2mainlytalkingaboutconcerningtheresearch？(

)A．Itsmethods.B．Itsprocedures.C．Itspotentialimpact.D．Itstheoreticalfoundation.答案：D解析：段落大意题。通读第二段可知，第二段主要是关于这项研究的理论基础。故选D。7．HowdidConstantinouandhiscolleaguesdrawtheirconclusion？(

)A．Byanalysingthechangesofwatercontent.B．Bystudyingthepropertiesofsubstances.C．Byinvestigatingthecomponentsofwater.D．Byexaminingthedifferencesofvolcanoes.答案：A解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“ConstantinouandhiscolleaguesstudiedchangesintheVenusianatmospheretocastlightonthewatercontentofitsinterior.Whentheyanalysedtheamountofsubstancesbeingrefilled,theyfoundverylittlewaterwasbeingadded.”可知，康斯坦丁努和他的同事们通过分析水分含量的变化情况得出他们的结论。故选A。8．WhatcanthefindingbeusedtodoaccordingtoConstantinou？(

)A．Carryoutmorefly-bys.B．Identifyupcomingthreats.C．ConductVenusobservations.D．Narrowdownastronomers'search.答案：D解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段“ConstantinousaidresolvingthequestioncouldhelpastronomersruleoutVenusasahabitableplanetnowthatthedryinteriorofVenussuggestsitneverhastheoceansofliquidwatertraditionallythoughtnecessaryforlifetobegin.”可知，根据康斯坦丁努的观点，这一发现可以用于缩小天文学家的搜索范围。故选D。C(2025·山东临沂模拟)Onthesurface,itmaynotappearthatDr.Dolittleandartificialintelligence(AI)havemuchincommon.Onebelongsin1900schildren'sliterature,whiletheotherisfirmlyrootedinthe21stcentury.Oneisaphysicianturnedvet(兽医)whocantalktoanimals,andtheotheracomputerizedtechnologythatcannot.Butthedreamofspeakingwithanimalsmaynotbesofantasticalanymore.AIhasalreadygivenustheabilitytobarkinstructionsatrobots—coulditspotentialbeextendedtotheanimalkingdom?Couldithelpusunderstandthenaturalworldandmaybeonedayallowusto“talk”toanimals?Thefirstdifficultyin“translating”animalcommunicationisunderstandingwhatthatcommunicationlookslike.Humanlanguageismadeupofverbal(口头的)andnon-verbalcues,andanimalcommunicationisnodifferent.Dogswagtheirtails,forexample,toconveyarangeofemotions.However,thereissomedebateastowhetherthiscanbeconsidereda“language”.AccordingtoDr.Herzing,ResearchDirector,WildDolphinProject,AIcouldhelpput_it_to_bed．“Wecurrentlydon'tknowifanimalshavealanguage，”Herzingsaid.“ButAIcanhelpuslookforlanguage-likestructureswhichmightsuggestanimalshavepartsofalanguage.”Scientistshavebeencollectingsounds,callsandvariousanimalvocalizations(发声)fordecades.Researchhasshownthatanimalvocalizationscarrymanytypesofinformationfromtheiridentitytoexternalobjects.ThehopeisthatAImodelsbeingdevelopedcanworklikewhatChatGPTdoesforhumaninput,andturnthosevocalizationsintosomethingmorerecognizabletohumans.Withabetterunderstandingoftheanimalsaroundus,canwestilljustifypracticesthatslaughter(屠宰)them?Thiscouldhavefar-reachinginfluences,includingforthetreatmentofanimalsinentertainment,researchandagriculture.Fromahumanperspective,thereisalsoalotwecouldlearn,notjustaboutourselvesbutaboutanimalsand,maybe,otherlifeforms.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能有望帮助人类理解动物交流方式，让人类能够“与动物对话”，并且对动物的深入了解会对动物的待遇等方面产生深远影响。9．WhydoestheauthormentionDr.DolittleinParagraph1？(
