In August 2024, Wu and her team were doing some research in Medog County when they 3 a small plant growing between rocks at around 800 meters above sea level. After 4 study and DNA checking, they realised it was a completely new genus(属) and named it Paramicrotoena (藏唇花属). This discovery helped scientists better understand plant types and showed China's important role in 5 protection.
Wu said that over the years, Xizang has made great 6 to protect its environment. ★7 47 nature reserves(保护区), the area now has its first seed bank, which keeps more than 8,400 seed samples(样本) safe. “All these help young scientists like me do our work with better tools 8 more confidence,” she said.
She also 9 thanks to the local people who helped her team, including drivers, guides and villagers. Most 10, Wu said, “The local people treated us like family. They shared food, showed us the way and encouraged us. That trust is what makes our work possible.”

2. A 要找到安全且不破坏环境的方式来使用药用植物，故用harming。
3. C 他们发现了一株小的植物，discovered符合语境。
4. C 在仔细的研究和DNA检测下，空缺处修饰study，故用careful。
5. C 这一发现帮助科学家更好地了解植物类型，并展现了中国在自然保护方面的重要性。
6. A make efforts to do sth. 努力做某事。
7. C 根据the area now has its first seed bank可知，除了自然保护区之外，还有种子库，故用besides。
易错警示
本句是一个含有定语从句的复合句，句意：除了47个自然保护区，该地区现在还有第一个种子库，安全保存着8400多个种子样本。besides意为“除了……之外(还有)”，即包括这47个自然保护区在内。容易误用without，没理解句意，误认为这47个自然保护区不包括在内。

二、阅读理解。
Ding-dong! Who is at the door? It's a fish!
In the Netherlands（荷兰）, wild fish usually migrate（迁徙） in spring. They leave their usual living places and go to other areas to produce eggs. In this season, government officers in Utrecht use the Fish Doorbell to help fish go through the canal（运河）.
Utrecht is a city in the Netherlands. In this country, people deliver things between cities through canals. There are gates on the canals, and they act like locks. They make sure each canal has the same water level（水位） so that ships can pass across the canals easily.
The gates are helpful to humans. However, they can be a problem for fish. As fish reach a closed gate, they can't go through it and will be in danger. Birds or other big fish may eat them. To help the fish swim through the gate in Utrecht safely, local officers came up with an idea—they developed the Fish Doorbell.
The Fish Doorbell is in fact a website. It shows an underwater live stream（直播）. By placing a camera at the gate, people can see if there are fish nearby and help the officers ring the Fish Doorbell. Then the officers will open the gate and the fish can swim through the canal safely. The Fish Doorbell is set in Utrecht, but people from all over the world can watch the live stream and ring the doorbell. In 2024, 2.7 million people visited the website and rang the doorbell to help the fish migrate.
Isn't it amazing? Why don't you have a go?
1. What does the underlined word "deliver" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Carry.
B. Record.
C. Find.
D. Invent.
2. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. How people use the Fish Doorbell.
B. Why people set gates on the canals.
C. Why the local officers developed the Fish Doorbell.
D. How people solve problems while using the Fish Doorbell.
3. 新考法 写作意图 Why does the writer write the passage?
A. To ask people to feed fish online.
B. To teach people a new method of studying fish.
C. To introduce a creative way to help fish.
D. To tell people the importance of keeping canals clean.

1. A 词义猜测题。根据后文between cities through canals可推知，deliver意为“运送”，与carry意思相近。
2. C 段落大意题。第四段主要讲述运河闸门对鱼类造成的危险，以及当地官员开发“鱼类门铃”的原因。
3. C 写作意图题。作者写本文的目的是介绍“鱼类门铃”这种帮助鱼类迁徙的创意方式。
