Passage 5(2023湖北武汉,B)
Bert won a national prize called Young Heroes for his “green” project. This public-spirited young person was now a university student. His love for insects grew deeper and he was protecting them for the future.
★. When he was around 4 or 5, he always loved to watch different insects, especially beautiful swallowtails(凤蝶). One interesting fact he learned about swallowtails was that their bright colors warned hungry animals that they tasted bad. And it was also fun to watch how they came into being. But the reason he really fell in love with them was that they were very accessible. For example, if you wanted to attract(吸引) swallowtails, you planted some zinnias, a kind of bright flower.
Bert started a zinnia garden at his house, where he raised a large number of swallowtails over the years. With the world’s swallowtail population falling, Bert wanted people to realize that if insects like swallowtails disappeared, so would all the others above them on the food chain. To make the fact clear and easy to understand for other students, he also created a zinnia garden at his junior high school.
Part of the joy for Bert was watching the younger students get excited when running after swallowtails. “Whenever a swallowtail lands on them, the young students will soon fall in love with these cute insects. They develop a new appreciation for them,” he said.
Bert put his efforts into the environmental educational project and made it take flight.

答案： 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Bert喜爱并保护凤蝶的故事。
1.D　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“His love for insects grew deeper and he was protecting them for the future.”可知，在获奖后，Bert对昆虫的喜爱更深了，并继续保护它们。故选D。
2.C　推理判断题。根据下文“When he was around 4 or 5...”可知，Bert大约四五岁的时候就喜欢观察昆虫，C项“Bert found his love early in life. (Bert很小就找到了自己的爱好。)”符合语境。故选C。
3.B　词义猜测题。下文的例子“...if you wanted to attract swallowtails, you planted some zinnias...”是对上文中的“that they were very accessible”进行补充说明，由此可知凤蝶是“容易接近的”。故选B。
4.D　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“To make the fact clear and easy to understand for other students...”可知，他在学校建立zinnia garden主要是为了帮助同学们了解凤蝶，故选D。
5.B　标题归纳题。文章主要讲述了Bert为了保护凤蝶所做的努力。最后一段作为总结句，再次点题，“made it take flight”中it指代project，而take flight意为“起飞”，既展望了这个项目的未来，又与凤蝶相联系，所以B项“A Flying Project”适合作为本文标题。故选B。
