【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Suddenly, a lud sund filled the air. The leg f her music stand brke, and papers flew everywhere like falling leaves(突然，一声巨响充满了空气，她的乐谱架的一条腿断了，纸张像落叶一样四处飞散。)”可知，造成混乱的直接原因是乐谱架倒塌。故选D项。

【7题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Suddenly, a lud sund filled the air. The leg f her music stand brke, and papers flew everywhere like falling leaves(突然，一声巨响充满了空气，她的乐谱架的一条腿断了，纸张像落叶一样四处飞散)”、第三段“Withut stpping, he bent dwn and picked up the flying papers.

C
In the spring, a small brwn mth (飞蛾) called the bgng mth starts an extrardinary jurney. Native t Australia, it flies ver 1,000 kilmeters each night frm flat grasslands t cl muntain caves in the sutheast-a feat cmparable t a human running a marathn daily fr weeks. What’s truly astnishing is hw these tiny-brained insects, with brains ne-tenth the size f a grain f rice, navigate (导航) such vast distances in cmplete darkness.
Scientists lng suspected bgng mths used Earth’s magnetic field r muntain shapes as guides. But recent research published in Nature revealed a surprising secret: they navigate by the stars. This ability, previusly bserved nly in birds and humans, was cnfirmed thrugh creative experiments. Researchers placed mths in a flight mdel that blcked Earth’s magnetism and prjected artificial star patterns. When the artificial sky matched real star grups, mths flew crrectly. When stars were turned 180 degrees, they flew in the ppsite directin. Withut cnsistent starlight, they became cmpletely lst.
Hw d mths “read” the stars? The study fund specialized neurns in their brains that respnd specifically t starlight psitins, particularly the bright cre f the Milky Way. These neurns likely frm a basic “sky map,” allwing mths t adjust their path ver weeks as stars gradually shift. Unlike dung beetles-which briefly use the Milky Way as a landmark-bgng mths cntinuusly track mvements f the stars.
This discvery reshapes ur understanding f the insects: fr bgng mths, starlight is mre than beauty; it is a survival tl wven int their bilgy. As light pllutin increasingly cluds the night sky, prtecting these natural navigatrs becmes urgent — nt just fr them, but fr all species relying n the stars’ ancient light.
8. What des the underlined wrd “feat” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Daily rutine.B. Natural behaviur.
C. Physical exercise.D. Remarkable achievement.
9. In the experiment, what happened when the artificial stars were turned 180 degrees?
A. Mths turned arund.B. Mths flew faster.
C. Mths stpped mving.D. Mths ignred the stars.
10. Which ability differs bgng mths frm dung beetles in navigatin?
A. T travel lnger distances.B. T adjust their sky map.
C. T keep fllwing mving stars.D. T use the Milky Way as a landmark.
11. What des the authr imply in the last paragraph?
A. Night sky shuld be prtected frm light pllutin.
B. Starlight serves as a beautiful destinatin fr mths.
C. All species depend n the starlight t navigate.
D. Insects make scial interactins with starlight.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了澳大利亚博贡蛾靠星星导航完成千里迁徙，研究发现其大脑神经元对星光敏感。但是如今光污染威胁其生存，需加以保护。
【8题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“it flies ver 1,000 kilmeters (飞行距离达1000公里之多)”以及后文“a human running a marathn daily fr weeks (人类连续数周每天跑完一场马拉松)”可知，博贡蛾的飞行距离堪比人类连续数周每天跑完一场马拉松，说明是一项令人瞩目的成就。故划线词意思是“令人瞩目的成就”。故选D。
【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“When stars were turned 180 degrees, they flew in the ppsite directin. (当星星旋转180度时，它们就会朝相反的方向移动。)”可知，在实验中，当人造星星被旋转180度时，博贡蛾会转身。故选A。
【10题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Unlike dung beetles-which briefly use the Milky Way as a landmark-bgng mths cntinuusly track mvements f the stars. (与蜣螂不同（蜣螂只是偶尔将银河系当作参照标志），博根蛾会持续追踪星星的移动轨迹。)”可知，能够持续追踪移动的星星使博贡蛾与蜣螂在导航方面有所不同。故选C。
【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“This discvery reshapes ur understanding f the insects: fr bgng mths, starlight is mre than beauty; it is a survival tl wven int their bilgy. As light pllutin increasingly cluds the night sky, prtecting these natural navigatrs becmes urgent — nt just fr them, but fr all species relying n the stars’ ancient light. (这一发现改变了我们对昆虫的认知：对于博贡蛾来说，星光不仅具有美感，更是一种融入其生理结构的生存工具。随着光污染日益严重地遮蔽了夜空，保护这些天然的导航者变得迫在眉睫——这不仅关乎它们自身，也关乎所有依赖古老星光的物种。)”可知，作者在最后一段中意在表达夜空应当免受光污染的侵扰。故选A。
