In 1954, Attenbrugh became a prducer f Z Quest. By chance, he stepped in as the presenter when the riginal hst became ill. The series fllwed zlgists cllecting animals fr Lndn Z. It was filmed in freign lcatins and later in the studi, where the animals fund in the wild were shwn “up clse.” Z Quest helped establish Attenbrugh’s reputatin as an appealing presenter. Thugh the shw was visually innvative fr its time, Attenbrugh later acknwledged that it reflected utdated, clnial-era attitudes tward wildlife. Tday, scientists and amateur naturalists alike are trained t bserve animals withut disturbing them.
After a decade in prductin, Attenbrugh returned t presenting with Life n Earth (1979), a landmark series tracing the evlutin f life frm single-celled rganisms t mammals. Drawing n his lng-standing interest in fssils (化石), the series cmbined zlgy, palebilgy and natural histry.
Fr much f his career, Attenbrugh was celebrated fr shwcasing nature’s beauty. Gradually, his fcus shifted. Blue Planet (2001) revealed the cean’s hidden wnders, while its 2017 sequel, Blue Planet II, cnfrnted plastic pllutin head-n. His latest film, Ocean (2025), pairs breathtaking imagery with a serius assessment f marine degradatin. His narratin (叙述), nce gentle and descriptive, nw carries a sharp, urgent clarity abut the scale f envirnmental crises and the need fr immediate actin.
In recent years, Attenbrugh has embraced a new rle as a glbal advcate fr the planet. He has addressed wrld leaders at COP24 and the Wrld Ecnmic Frum, urging decisive measures t cmbat climate change and bidiversity lss.
What truly sets Attenbrugh apart is his distinctive style f cmmunicatin. He speaks in emtinal, accessible language, cnveying themes f respnsibility, urgency, and the mral duty t prtect life n Earth. Yet Attenbrugh des nt merely speak; he listens, learns and evlves alngside his audience. This quality, perhaps mre than any ther, lies at the heart f his enduring charm and widespread appeal.
4. What des Attenbrugh think f Z Quest?
A. It ffers chances t get clse t animals.B. It shws an imprper mindset t animals.
C. It needs t imprve filming techniques.D. It helps him earn the fame as a presenter.

C. Cmprehensive and infrmative.D. Satisfying and interesting.
6. What is the shift in Attenbrugh’s fcus accrding t paragraph 4?
A. Frm studi filming t lcatin shting.
B. Frm animal cllectin t fssil research.
C. Frm scientific narratin t persnal strytelling.
D. Frm nature appreciatin t envirnmental warning.

Just befre dawn n the nrth cast f Peru, fishers drag bats made f reeds (芦苇) t the water’s edge and, kneeling n them, paddle ut int the Pacific t catch their breakfast. A few hurs later, they return riding waves n the final stretch t the shre. The reed bats — caballits are then placed upright t drain.
Archaelgists estimate these bats have been used fr abut 3,500 years. But tday many fishers believe they may be the last generatin t fish by caballit. Dwindling fish resurces, plastic pllutin and mtrized bats mean they struggle t match their fathers’ catches. Junir Huanchamuch, 37, a traditinal fisher, said: “My father used t bring in a lt f fish with ne r tw nets. Nw we use six r seven nets and the catch is lw. It’s because f the big bats that cllect everything.” While he lves his family’s traditin, he desn’t see a future in it.
Fishers als face a shrtage f the raw material they need fr their bats — the ttra reeds. In early 2025, sewage spills (污水泄露) damaged mre than half f the pnds where the reeds grw. The 40 fishers wh still use caballits built 13 new pnds with the technical help f the NGO Cnservatin Internatinal. Traditinal ancestral fishing is prtected in Peru by a 2018 law that declares it f “natinal interest”. But little has been dne t enfrce the prtectin f the five-nautical-mile castal stretch f cean reserved nly fr the caballit fishers.
Nwadays, surfers fld int Huanchac, and many becme fascinated by the caballits. Pabl Diaz, 65, smetimes supplements his incme by shwing turists hw t ride a caballit. The yunger generatin in fishing families have pened surf schls. Daniela Amic f Cnservatin Internatinal said: “I believe that by cnnecting surfing and the ancestral culture f these fishermen, we can find new pprtunities fr them.”
8. What des the underlined wrd “dwindling” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Shrinking.B. Recvering.C. Preserved.D. Renewed.
9. What d we knw abut the 2018 law?
A. It fails t wrk as intended.B. It prevents sewage spills.
C. It leads t the building f new pnds.D. It advcates the cnservatin f reeds.
10. What can we infer frm Daniela Amic’s wrds?
A. The culture f the fishermen will be replaced.
B. Surf schls are gaining ppularity amng turists.
C. Surfing is thrwing a lifeline fr the caballit fishers.
D. New surfing pprtunities will be prvided fr fishers.
11. Which f the fllwing can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Grwing Reeds: A New Apprach t Incme Increase
B. Huanchac: A Unique Destinatin fr Fishing Enthusiasts
C. Junir Huanchamuch: A Fisher Keen n Passing Traditins
D. Fishing by Caballit: A Fishing Traditin Calling fr Attentin

In wrk and play, AI is reshaping childhd. It prmises every child the kind f upbringing previusly available nly t a privileged few, with private tutrs, persnalized curses and entertainment. A childhd fit fr a king culd becme universal.
Being raised by rbts has advantages. Tech firms are shwing hw AI can enhance learning, especially where teachers and materials are limited. Technlgy is creating new frms f fun, t. Old tys are being upgraded: an AI-pwered editin f “Trivial Pursuit” can pse questins n any tpic.
It is a future filled with hidden traps. AI tutrs may give wrng answers. Children can easily misuse AI t cheat at hmewrk. Yet childhd may be disrupted mst entirely by things that AI des when it is behaving as intended. AI quickly learns what its user likes — and shws mre f it. Scial media feeds have already created ech chambers (回声室) where peple see nly views they agree with (r lve t hate). AI threatens t strengthen these ech chambers and lck children int them at an early age. This desn’t just kill the chance fr unexpected discveries. A favrites-nly diet means a child need never learn t tlerate smething unfamiliar.
One-sided relatinships with chatbts present a similar risk. AI cmpanins that never criticize, nr share feelings f their wn, are, a pr preparatin fr dealing with imperfect humans. Yes-bts risk shaping children wh are unaccustmed t give-and-take, eventually becming adults wh struggle with cperatin.
Sme basic cunter-measures are urgent. Parents shuld think twice befre entrusting their child t a machine. Chatbts shuld have age restrictins that are prperly enfrced. The lnger-term challenge is t think deeply abut hw t preserve the scializatin that AI culd rub ut f children’s lives. Schls, where much f childhd plays ut, are the best place t d this. They shuld take advantage f persnalized tuitin where it is prven t wrk. But they must als reduble effrts t teach things that a rbt can’t: t debate and t disagree.
AI may ne day let every child live like ryalty. But the truly privileged may be thse whse parents and teachers knw when t turn it ff.
12. What is AI’s influence n children’s upbringing accrding t paragraph 1?
A. It has made private tutring necessary.B. It has widened the scial divide.
C. It has imprved children’s upbringing.D. It has simplified traditinal educatin.
13. What is the majr threat psed by AI?
A. Limiting children’s access t varius ideas.B. Causing ver-reliance n technlgy.
C. Reducing children’s interest in educatin.D. Setting hidden traps fr children.
14. Why des the authr warn against yes-bts
A. They may get children uncnfident.
B. They may ruin children’s mental health.
C. They may get int cnflicts with children.
D. They may weaken children’s teamwrk skills.
15. What is the authr’s attitude twards AI in children’s upbringing?
A. Favrable.B. Objective.C. Ambiguus.D. Indifferent.
