【详解】句意：虽然花了很长时间，但我们终于习惯了和村里其他人一样早起。
考查动词短语辨析。used to过去常常，常用used to do sth的结构；preferred更喜爱，常用prefer to do的结构；got used to习惯于，常用get used to doing sth的结构；would rather宁愿，常用would rather do sth的结构。根据“Although it took a long time, we finally...getting up as early as everyone else in the village.”可知，很长时间后习惯了早起，故选C。

【详解】句意：这些机器人也可以帮助医生给病人动手术。
考查动词不定式作宾语补足语。operate做手术，动词原形；be operated动手术，被动语态；operate on给（某人）动手术；operate to表示给人动手术时，用介词on，不用to。根据“patients”可知此处用动词短语operate on sb表示“给某人动手术”。故选C。
考查动词短语和感官动词。looks看起来；taste尝起来；looks like看起来像；taste like尝起来像。根据“chocolate ice cream”可知，第一空指看起来像巧克力冰淇淋，用looks like；再根据“sweet”为形容词可知，第二空应用感官动词taste，表示“尝起来是甜的”。故选B。

What are some of the challenges of your role?One particular challenge is having to accept the frustrating reality (24) _________ although the gallery is there to connect people with pictures, it sadly doesn't have the capacity or resources to reach everyone all the time. (25)_________ is simply finding the time, amidst a busy workload of daily museum tasks and an intensive shorter-term exhibition schedule, to undertake longer-term research projects, involving thorough investigation of the pictures themselves, secondary research (26) _________ (conduct) in libraries, and conversations with peers worldwide. Have you personally had any unusual experiences during your work for the National Gallery?I have had plenty of memorable and exciting experiences, (27) _________ _________ ascending scaffolding (脚手架) to see Bridget Riley's Messengers in progress or looking at technical images to detect fascinating under drawing lying beneath the visible painted surface of a painting. A particularly happy moment for me (28) _________ (occur) when an album of 200 drawings came to light, the work by Elizabeth, Lady Eastlake (1809-1893) , wife of the gallery's first director. They included her sketches of places she visited abroad with her husband, as well as her pencil copies of paintings they inspected during his search to find qualified masterpieces for the national collection.I (29) _________ (imagine) that Lady Eastlake's sketches were lost or destroyed, so it was an extraordinary moment when I realised they were staring me in the face-and were so well preserved! The generous owner soon donated the precious album to the National Gallery so that her drawings (30) _________ be reunited with her husband's working notebooks and accessible for others to enjoy.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. analyzedB. boundaryC. compoundD. detectE. orbitF. potentialG. primitive H. stretching I. subsequently J. tubular K. unquestionablyVisitors are hereIn 2017, when astronomers discovered the asteroid (小行星) 11/2017 U1, it soon dawned on them that they had a strange object on their hands. The calculated 31 showed this long and thin rock to be simply passing through the solar system, and therefore its origin not of this world, as they like to say in the movies. The object was 32 named 'Oumuamua (from the Hawaiian word for “a person sent ahead to get information about the enemy's position, strength, etc.”) , raising memories of an old Star Trek episode, “For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky,” in which a long, 33 asteroid proved to be an alien ship in disguise (伪装) .There's nothing surprising about interstellar objects passing through our neighborhood. Or there shouldn't be, at least. There's no magical barrier at the 34 of our solar system. Although we see a sky full of stars a and inor telescopes 35 hundreds of clusters a and nebulae (星云) , most of the space in a galaxy's disk is practically empty, save for the thin interstellar medium.This month, science journalist David Chandler delivers a fascinating look at the 36 for spacecraft missions to interstellar intruders. Catching up to Oumuamua now would be virtually impossible. This thin, cigar-shaped rock, 37 about 1, 300 feet long, is rushing along at about 16 miles per second and is already as far away as the average distance to Pluto.But there's no doubt that other visitors from other stars will come by again. This has 38 happened countless times in the 4. 6-billion-year history of our star and its planets- and now, astrophysics is in an advanced state. Every day we learn about 39 conditions long ago in the solar system by studying pieces of rock or metal from space that have landed on Earth and other objects. With the chemistry of materials from the origin days of other stars 40 , who knows what could be found from such priceless relics.That's another comforting thought to keep in mind as you read David's story and then gaze up into a dark sky full of wonder.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B. C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Should period dramas reflect modern sensibilities?Simon Jenkins The most popular films of my youth were war films. They were about how Britain won a war—and that could be any war you cared to mention. In my opinion, they were great fun and, mostly, patriotic 41 .I'm a journalist and occasional historian, and something the two professions share is a respect for the 42of truth. Both are in the business of bringing events to life through the power of fact, not falsification. They may sometimes be 43 of distortion (歪曲) and thoughtless analysis, but to be plain wrong is unethical and unprofessional. The gap between fact and fiction is one that should not be crossed—or if crossed, should stand corrected.Many playwrights, filmmakers and novelists 44 . To them, history is a stimulus to artistic licence, material to be exploited and 45 for dramatic effect. Their considerations are audience appeal, profit and, often, politics. They leave it to historians to worry about 46 . This, to me, is lying.I have always found ‘ 47 ’ (in which facts are the basis for fiction) hard to stomach. I can appreciate‘docudrama’, which dramatises the events, or the novels of Hilary Mantel, as attempts to deepen our understanding of the past. Mantel insisted that her goal was always to be as 48 as the facts allowed. She did not 49 create false events. The same was not true of The Crown and its much-documented faking of stories. The fact the team behind the show took such pains to cast actors that 50 their real-life counterparts simply added a touch of reality to the made-up story. The result was an audience 51 of what was true or false.I appreciate that history—as with 52 —involves selection, and that selection itself can be motivated by a desire to twist the truth. Each age puts pressure on historians to select material in a manner that respects the 53 or bias (偏向) of nations, groups or individuals. The duty of the historian is to see behind such bias. The task is toreveal what happened, why and how.In an age of artificial intelligence and online ‘deep fakery’, the truth has never been more 54 . The world of fiction has no need to be a parasite (寄生虫) on history: it has all of human imagination to supply it with plots. Every work that claims to be ‘based on real events’ should, in my view, be identified as lies, and should display a large ‘T’ or ‘NT’ —true or not true. Artistic licence should not be a (n) 55 to deceive.41. A. honour B. instinct C. rubbish D. masterpiece42. A. victory B sacredness C. suspicion D. degree43. A. proud B typical C. desperate D. guilty44. A. disagree B. persist C. hesitate D. echo45. A. recorded B. publicized C. abused D. corrected46. A. plot B. artistry C. edition D. truth47. A faction B. profile C nonfiction D. social-drama48. A. awesome B. imaginative C. accurate D. comprehensive49. A. necessarily B deliberately C. merely D. duly50. A. adored B. falsified C. documented D. resembled51. A. conscious B ignorant C. clear D. insightful52. A. journalism B. literature C. politics D. patriotism53. A. literacy B. reason C. justice D. sensitivity54. A. immoral B. precious C. sufficient D. revolutionary55. A. instance B. tendency C. licence D submissionSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)“Who says it's Father's Day?” my son says to me, with the questioning angry look of someone who's been told they have extra tax to pay. “Well, the world does,” I tell him, suddenly self-conscious. “It's a special day for daddies.”Something about this—I can't think what—comes out sounding quite desperate and he looks at me as if I've just suggested he prove his love for me with a face tattoo (文身) . It's a look of suspicion, but also of tender concern for my mental state.This is his fifth Father's Day, so I can't help feeling slightly wounded that the concept hasn't stuck with him. I also can't help noting that he has never had any such issue with Mother's Day, which has always seemed to him like common sense.The event's nearness to his own birthday two weeks from now—is making things more difficult for him to tolerate. It would seem he finds it impolite that the run-up to his special day should be interrupted so close to the finish line by a day that celebrates me, the lesser of his two parents. In any case, if he's planning to make or gift me something, this conversation has been a masterstroke of expectation management“So, will all daddies get a Father's Day?” he asks. “Yes,” I reply, “and this isn't new-it's every year!” I attempt to regulate my voice/offence, but also make it very clear I haven't made this idea up on the spot by myself. “You've been doing it since you were born. And it's been around longer than that. I get things for Grandad every year, too.”At this he stirs himself up. He has never quite stopped being fascinated by the idea that his grandad is my dad, in the same way that I am his. I suppose it's the same thrill I feel when I see pictures of massive cranes (起重机) being built by other, even bigger cranes.“What do you get him?” he asks. “Well,” I say, “things like CDs or socks-and always a card.” At this he seems inspired. “I'll do a card!” he says, brightening.“You could buy me something, too. . .” I begin, but he is no longer listening, running to grab coloured paper and glittery pens. Not wishing to see this tribute to myself a whole week early, I smile and tell him I really shouldn't be watching and get up to leave him to it.“Yes,” he says, just in time for me to see he's actually writing “Dear Grandad” on the page. “Don't tell him!”56. How does the writer feel when explaining Father's Day?A. Suspicious.B. Embarrassed.C. Proud.D. Ridiculous.57. It can be inferred from the son's response that ________.A. the son feels hurt because the concept escapes himB. the writer looks relieved due to his son's tender heartC. a face tattoo is the way to prove a son's love for his fatherD. the son identifies with Mother's Day more than Father's Day58. The writer mentions Grandad in order to ________.A. justify the annual celebration of Father's DayB. practise skills of expectation managementC. narrow the gap between the three generationsD. link Father's Day to his son's birthday59. Which of the following best summarises the passage?A. When celebrating Father's Day, you should also send a DIY card to your grandpa.B. It is a universally acknowledged fact that Father's Day is a special day for daddies.C. Father's Day is a special time to celebrate Dad, but for my son that's a bit of a stretch.D. My son and father have agreed to keep the Father's Day greetings card secret from me.(B)611907Elizabeth Maconchy is born on 19 March in Broxbourne,Hertfordshire.

William LeFanu, a surgeon, got married to Maconchy.C. Maconchy began composing a series of string quartets.D. Sir Henry Wood composed an orchestral suite The Land.(C)A theme at this year's World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Switzerland was the perceived need to “speed up breakthroughs in research and technology.” Some of this framing was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world's problems, scientific research needs to move faster. The WEF mindset is similar to the Silicon Valley dictate—to move fast and break things. But what if the thing being broken is science? Or public trust?The WEF meeting took place just two weeks after Harvard University President Claudine Gay stepped down after complaints were made about her political science scholarship. In response, Gay requested corrections to several of her papers. Although it may be impossible to determine just how widespread such problems really are,it's hard to imagine that the scene of high-profile scholars correcting and retracting papers has not had a negative impact on public trust in science and perhaps in experts broadly.In recent years we've seen important papers, written by outstanding scientists and published in celebrated journals, retracted because of questionable data or methods, hence a question: Are scholars at supercompetitive places such as Harvard and Stanford rushing to publish rather than taking the time to do their work right?It's impossible to answer this question scientifically because there's no scientific definition of what constitutes "rushing. "But there's little doubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under tremendous pressure to produce results—and a lot of them—quickly.The problem is not unique to the U. S. In Europe, formal research assessments—which are used to allocate (分配) future funding—have for years judged academic departments largely on the quantity of their output. A recent reform urging an emphasis on quality over quantity allowed that the existing system had created “counterincentives. ”Good science takes time. More than 50 years elapsed between the 1543 publication of Copernicus's On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept geophysicist Alfred Wegener's idea of continental drift.There's plenty of circumstantial evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. Consider the sheer volume of academic papers being published these days. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Some of this growth is driven by more scientists and more co-authorship of papers, but the numbers also suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down if we are to produceknowledge worthy of trust.63. WEF meeting in Switzerland advocated that ________.A. researchers need to achieve breakthroughs more rapidlyB. public trust in science is not supposed to be easily brokenC. WEF and Silicon Valley reach an agreement to move fastD. climate emergency and AI push scientific research hard64. Which of the following examples fails to prove that good science takes time?A. Gay's correction and retraction of papers.B. Publication of Copernicus's theory.C. High-profile scholars' tremendous output.D. Acceptance of the idea of continental drift.65. The underlined word “counterincentives” in para. 5 probably means ________.A. measures to increase quantities of outputB. discouragements of high quality papersC. rewards for leading universities' researchD. contradictory motives for future funding66. Which of the following is best title of the passage?A. WEF Coincides with Silicon ValleyB. Collapse of Public TrustC. Dilemma between Quantity and QualityD. Trouble in the Fast LaneSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Brentford FC has taken a different approach.B. Statistics have helped the team win on the pitch, too.C. He applied his talent to identifying the underlying strength of football teams.D. Analytics underlay and supported a remarkably profitable buy-low-sell-high transfer strategy.E. They were told to focus not on how many goals a team was scoring, which was subject to too much randomness.F. Like “Moneyball” , a hit book about the use of statistics in baseball, “Smart Money” is both informative and entertaining.Football and dataA numbers gameAt most football clubs, the equation is simple: you put in vast amounts of money, and you get out star players and win victories. Take Manchester City, the Premier League's reigning champions. Before its takeover in 2008 by a Middle East plutocrats (财阀) , the club often struggled in the bottom half of the table; it has won English football's championship seven times since 2011.67. _________ The club was promoted into the Premier League in 2021 after striving for decades in the lower reaches of football. What makes its success surprising is not how much money its owner, Matthew Benham, has put into the team, but how little. In a new book “Smart Money”. Alex Duff, a lifelong Brentford fan, explains how a money-saving plan made profits.Mr Benham studied physics at Oxford University and then went to work in banking. In his early 30s, sensing correctly that bookmakers (赌注登记人) were inaccurate when setting odds for football matches, Mr Benham leftbanking to become a full-time gambler.He set up his own company, Smartodds, and competed with financial institutions to hire the best mathematicians. 68. _________ Instead, their focus should be the "goal-scoring opportunities it was creating. In time, he reckoned, the goals would comeThe approach was so efficient that when Brentford, going through one of its periodic financial crises, put out a general appeal for help in 2005, Mr Benham offered his services. Within a decade he owned the club and was applying his ideas to how the team was constructed. 69. _________There were plenty of doubters within football about Brentford's philosophy. But in time it worked. In their first season in the Premier League, Mr Benham's investment of around f100m in the club—a tiny sum compared with competitors—realised its first profit of £25m.70. _________ Mr Benham identifed ser pieces (定位球) as an important part of creating scoring opportunities, and hired Gianni Vio, an Italian coach with 4, 000 such plays in his career. Players are instructed to press the opposition and tackle players within ten seconds of them receiving the ball. Though Brentford is not competing for the title, in recent years the team has beaten several of football's plutocrats—including Manchester City. What were the odds?IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Build better boundariesDoing a good deed like helping your friend with their homework or sharing a snack can make you feel happy. Studies show that kindness is good for your wellbeing. However, if you often agree to things you don't want to do, or feel guilty saying no, you could be falling into a people-pleasing trap. It's not always easy to tell when this happens but one clue is that it's difficult to stop. Pleasing other people may feel good for a short while but the feeling doesn't last. This is why it's a good idea to set limits on what you'll do for others. These are called “boundaries”.Spending too much energy on someone else can stop you doing things you want or need to do. Research has found that trying to please others can leave us feeling stressed and uncomfortable. We can also feel angry and frustrated with ourselves and our friends. “There's nothing wrong with being kind to other people,” says Dr Toru Sato, an author and expert in thoughts and feelings, but we need to be sure we're doing it out of kindness, not because we're worried about what other people think.Taking on so much that you end up letting others down doesn't make you a better friend. The youth mental health charity YoungMinds says boundaries include taking time alone when you need it and being able to explain your needs. If saying no feels hard, practise with small things, like if someone offers a straw in a restaurant. This can help you feel more confident. Thinking about how to say no also helps, YoungMinds says, and allows you to communicate what you want clearly and calmly. Remember, you don't need an excuse to say no; you don't owe anyone an explanation. The good people in your life will respect this boundary.71. _________________________________________________________________________________________ V. Translation。

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. awareB. considerableC. ever-expandingD. fearfulE. outperformingF. platformsG. primitivelyH. prospectsI. revitalizingJ. substantiallyK. unsatisfyingChangesI have been working with Chinese students since the 1990s, and have observed firsthand their changing conditions. Many are certainly __31__ that life today is far more comfortable and easier than it was in their grandparents', or even parents', youth. With this in mind, I would like to share some of what they related to me, including their hopes, dreams and fears which are like what I've found on Douyin, Kuaishou, Weibo, Zhihu and even Biliblili -- all popular __32__ among young people in China.After taking stock of China's efforts to protect human lives and improve people's livelihoods, including eliminating（消除）extreme poverty and __33__ the countryside, pushing forward with green development, and standing tall as a major power, many feel proud to be Chinese in this day and age. They expressed a(n) __34__ confidence in China's future and are eager to be part of it.Several described feeling a type of existential concern. On the one hand, they're proud to be Chinese, happy to be part of a large, powerful nation, and pleased that their conditions and __35__ are strong. On the other, having grown up in an accelerating（加速的）consumer society, shaped __36__ by social media, they also described feeling small and isolated.Interestingly, some pointed directly to their __37__ relationship with commodities（商品）, describing them as an unhealthy but inescapable addiction, including concerns that commodity culture, together with social media, is pushing people into feeling smaller and smaller in a(n) __38__ digital space.With their favorable conditions also come the pressures they feel __39__ previous generations. None said they wanted to "lie down" (tangping), but they noted intense competition both among their peers and form international sources. They were __40__ of running to death, of living shallow lives and reaching early graves.III. Reading ComprehensionsSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Exploring the vast area where psychology and physiology meet, recent studies are continually casting light on an interesting phenomenon: the impact of our mental states on physical health. The concept of a mind-body connection, often viewed with disbelief, is now gaining __41__ through scientific inquiry. __42__, happiness has been found to have a protective effect against common illnesses. This revelation came from a 2003 study where over 300 participants, exposed to a cold virus, exhibited fewer symptoms if they had a generally __43__ outlook on life. These individuals weren't just happier; they were healthier.This link between our psychological state and physical well-being extends beyond __44__ illness. Focusing on the longevity of optimists, research led by Dr. Laura Kubzansky of Harvard has revealed that an optimistic outlook is associated with a lower 'allostatic load' -- the wear and tear on the body from long-term stress. This __45__ burden is thought to contribute to longer lifespans, with the most optimistic among us living significantly longer lives.Another striking area where the mind's influence is __46__ is in the function and length of telomeres -- protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes（染色体）. Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn's pioneering work has shown that individuals under long-term stress have shorter telomeres, which can __47__ earlier cellular aging. On the other hand, positive mental attitudes and practices like meditation appear to __48__ telomere length, suggesting that our mental practices can influence the very aging process of our cells.The __49__ of these findings are broad and significant, particularly in medical treatment and recovery. The placebo（安慰剂）effect, once a mere footnote in clinical trails, is now a central focus in understanding how belief and expectation can bring about real __50__ changes. From reducing pain to improving surgery outcomes, placebos have demonstrated that our belief in a treatment's __51__ can appear as real healing in the body.Recent experiments have explored this by administering 'open-label' placebos -- placebos given with full __52__ that they contain no active ingredients -- to patients. Remarkably, theseplacebos can still lead to improvements in conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, __53__ our perception about the nature of healing.As we look to the future, the developing field of psychoneuroimmunology（心理神经免疫学）is sure to offer even more insights into how our mental landscape affects our physical health. The implications of this could be transformative, as we begin to __54__ psychological wellness into our standard healthcare practices. The ultimate question that emerges is not whether our minds influence our health -- that much is __55__ -- but how we can use this power most effectively for a healthier society.41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Amid the holiday season's business, it's the unanticipated moments that often stay in the heartthe longest. I remember one such instance, on a winter day, in a crowded store. My role, repetitive and boring, was interrupted by a sight that demanded my attention - and elderly woman threading her way through the crowd, her pace a sharp contrast to the hurried shoppers.Her companion, a younger woman, radiated impatience with each heavy breath of annoyance. The divide between them was palpable, a silent proof to the swift passage of time and the slow dance of age.Moved by a feeling of connection that frequently arises around seniors, I approached to offer help. The older woman's smile was a pause in time, a softening in the day's rhythm. She passed me a slip of paper, on which a classic movie title was hurriedly written - a film she was eager to locate and share.Guiding her along the memory-rich aisles, we quickly located the film. During our short exchange, she vividly recounted her past, her memories lighted up by the silver screen's shimmer -- each film capturing valuable life lessons.As I handed her the DVD, our conversation turned to her companion, her granddaughter, who watched us with confused emotions playing upon her face. "Cherish her," I found myself advising, a gentle request to preserve the moments that would one day become the most treasured of memories.They left the store with the granddaughter's pace now slowed down to match the elder's. In their departure, a sudden understanding passed between us, a reminder that life's true essence is often found in the gentle press of a hand, the warmth of a shared glance, and the preciousness of time spent with those we love. It was a lesson in empathy（共情）, a call to honor the connections that, while seemingly temporary, form the enduring fabric of our human experience.56. Why does the writer approach the elderly woman and her companion?A. The elderly woman looked lost.B. He wanted to sell them a membership.C. They had stayed in the store for too long.D. He was touched by feeling close to the elderly.57. What does the elderly woman's smile represent in the story?A. A break in the flow of time.B. Happiness at finding the film.C. Confusion about where she is.D. A brief connection with the writer.58. What underlying message does the writer convey to the granddaughter?A. The necessity of watching classic films.B. The importance of patience in shopping.C. Advice on selecting movies that old people love.D. The value of treasuring time spent with loved ones.59. What lesson does the writer reflect on at the end of the story?A. Different people have different understanding of human experience.B. Our connection with others is fundamental to human experience.C. Some connections are temporary while others will last long.D. Empathy is the best way to bring families together.(B)The Future of Driving: The Solar-Powered Light-year OnePicture this: driving down the highway, the heater keeping you off the winter chill, without a hint of worry about your car's charge. Welcome to the reality created by the Light-year One, the revolutionary solar-powered vehicle crafted by the visionary Dutch company, Light-year. Born from the talented minds of Solar Team Eindhoven, this vehicle is not just a car -- it's a statement, an innovative step into a sustainable future.The Dawn of Solar MobilityRange Without LimitWorst-case scenario: it's cold outside, and you've got the heat started while raveling at highway speeds. With Light-year One, expect to cover an impressive 400 km before needing a charge. That's the distance from Paris to Amsterdam! In a single journey, you can witness the marvel of engineering that makes "range anxiety" a term of the past.Making Use of the SunThe proof, boasting over 1,000 solar cells, turn daylight into distance. Each solar cell is a proof to Light-year's commitment to efficiency and strength -- capable of charging up to 12km on a sunny day. Imagine gaining an extra 97km per week, just by letting your car bathe in the sun. It's no wonder that in places like Phoenix, the Light-year One can be powered by the sun for the majority of the year.A Design that Speaks Elegance and EfficiencyWhat's Under the Hood?Don't let the smooth lines fool you. The Light-year One's design is a perfect combination of visual appeal and aerodynamic efficiency. Its teardrop shape minimizes drag, ensuring every joule（焦耳）of energy is used to its fullest potential. And speed? This eco-vehicle doesn't shy away from it, boasting a top speed of 160km/h (100 mph).Eco and Wallet FriendlyWe understand that innovation comes at a price. However, the €149,000 tag on the Light-year One is set to decrease as technology advances and production scales up. Light-year's promise is to deliver sustainable luxury that will soon become the new normal.Are you ready to embrace the change? The Light-year One isn't just a car; it's a forerunner of tomorrow. By choosing this path, you're not only adopting a new way of driving -- you're driving change, one sunny mile at a time.60. What is the passage mainly intended to do?A. Introduce and promote a solar-powered vehicle.B. Provide a technical manual for the Light-year One.C. Offer a historical account of solar-powered vehicles.D. Call attention to the technology used by the Light-year One.61. What can be learned about the Light-year One?A. It can move faster than 160km per hour.B. It can travel about 400 km on a single charge.C. It features a built-in solar panel cleaning system.D. It will be sold at a price higher than €149,000 soon.62. Suppose you were a car reviewer, how would you comment on the Light-year One?A. The Light-year One's introduction of solar power has practical challenges.B. The Light-year One presents a novel and efficient way to use electric power.C. The Light-year One's groundbreaking features are overshadowed by its high cost.D. The Light-year one prioritizes style and solar innovation but falls short in practicality.(C)This year, University College London made Semir Zeki the world's first professor ofneuro-aesthetics（神经美学）. In recent decades, he has used brain imaging techniques to pioneer the modern study of visual perception, as Nobel prize winner Eric Kandel writes on the jacket of Splendors and Miseries of the Brain, and his earliest books include an impressive study of art written (in French) with the painter Balthus. His new book aims to apply the neuroscience （神经科学）of creativity to artists, writers and composers such as Michelangelo, Dante and Wagner, and so it arouses high expectations. Unfortunately, the result is disappointing.Consider his treatment of Cezanne, a painter celebrated for subtle colouring of natural scenes. Near the beginning of the book, Zeki quotes Cezanne as saying: "Colour has a logic and the artist must always obey that logic, never the logic of the brain." Zeki disagrees: "There is, in fact, no logic to colour except the logic of the brain." Yet much later, in an admiring chapter on Cezanne, he remarks: "Though knowing nothing about the visual brain, Cezanne was nevertheless remarkably insightful into its workings." How, then, does Cezanne's understanding of visual perception differ from Zeki's? If Cezanne was wrong, why were his insights fruitful? The book never resolves this apparent contradiction.Zeki supports the idea that our perception of colors is not independent but rather essentially linked to how our brains interpret them. For example, the brain preserves our perception of colours regardless of lighting conditions, by cleverly keeping constant the proportion of red, green and blue light reflected from an object and from its surroundings. "A green surface, for example, remains green whether viewed at dawn, at dunk, or at noon on a cloudy or sunny day." Zeki writes. Leaves on trees do not appear to change colour with changes in weather. Indeed, he claims "there are no colours but constant colours."Surely, the truth is more complex. A leaf certainly looks green to us whether in bright sun or shadow -- but it is not the same green. The apples in Cezanne's 1873 painting Green Apples (below) contain at least half a dozen identifiable shades of green. Moreover, the greens change appearance under natural and artificial light. Anyone who has tried to choose a paint colour from a house decorator's colour chart knows how sensitive the brain's perception of colour is to light and shadow. What looked right on the chart often looks wrong on the wall.For all Zeki's evident scientific expertise expertise and love of the arts, he does not really succeed in using each to illuminate the other.63. What does the writer imply about Zeki's approach to the study of neuroaesthetics and art?A. Zeki focuses primarily on the technical aspects of art.B. Zeki's background limits his understanding of art in a scientific way.C. Zeki's work is praised for bridging the gap between neuroscience and art.D. Zeki's applies traditional artistic techniques to his neuroscience research.64. How can Zeki's handling of the contradiction regarding Cezanne's insights be inter-prated?A. As an innovative attempt to challenge traditional art criticism.B. As evidence of Zeki's deep understanding of Cezanne's work.C. As reflection of Zeki's preference for modern over classical art.D. As an oversight that highlights a gap in Zeki's argumentation skills.65. What is the writer suggesting about the complexity of color perception as discussed by Zeki?A. Zeki's views are too complex for a general audience.B. Zeki oversimplifies how human beings perceive colors.C. Zeki's research on color perception is irrelevant to the study of art.D. Zeki has discovered the definitive explanation for color perception.66. What can be inferred about the writer's perspective on the potential of neuroscience to enhance our understanding of art?A. The writer is convinced neuroscience has no place in the study of art.B. The writer thinks neuroscience should replace traditional methods of art analysis.C. The writer appreciates integrating neuroscience and art but finds Zeki's work shallow.D. The writer believes Zeki's work has successfully unified the fields of neuroscience and art.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. The ritual of listening to her albums became my comfort, especially after my father passed away.B. This music has made me new friends, told me new stories, brought back things I thought I'd lost a long time ago.C. It is the untold stories of countless souls who, through melody and rhythm, found a way to express what words alone could not.D. But music didn't really reach me until we played a Billie Holiday record on our old player.E. A musician is born and then made.F. I write not just to entertain.Billie Holiday Sang to MeMy early Saturday mornings were reserved for learning music at the local music academy. We, the students, were little musicians, ears and hearts open to the raw, emotional teachings of the great composers. _____67_____Billie's voice was a gateway to a deeper understanding of human emotion. Her soulful tunes would stay in the air of our living room, teaching me more about life than any textbook could. Her songs spoke of a world that was far from fair or kind, yet she sang with a strength that seemed to rise above the pain._____68_____ Her voice filled the silence of his absence. The bluesy undertones and heartfelt words found in songs like "Strange Fruit" and "God Bless the Child" were my companions through the winding path of grief and healing.I grew to see music as an extension of the self, a form of narrative that could capture the essence of who we are, who we were, and who we hope to be. Each chord and lyric（和弦和歌词）became a mirror, reflecting parts of my identity I was still exploring, parts of my heritage thatwere woven into the fabric of American's complex musical history.Years later, as I started my own journey in music, I found myself at the intersection ofartistry and advocacy, inspired by the lessons Billie Holiday's music taught me. Her commitmentto expressing her truth through her music, even in the face of hardship, became the guiding principle in my career.In my own compositions, I strive to capture that same honesty and raw emotion._____69_____ My purpose is also to communicate -- to build connections with listeners and to continue the dialogue that artists like Billie Holiday started with their groundbreaking work.Music, I've learned, is not merely sound arranged in pleasant orders. It is history. It is emotion. _____70_____ Billie's voice continues to remind me that the real power of music lies in its ability to touch the soul, to heal, and to inspire a future where everyone's story can be heard.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71. All Things Must PassAs social currents shift, we witness the come and go of trends that once seemed permanent. Reflect on the evolving journey of facial hair styles -- a measure of fashion that swings from the presence of lush beards（浓密的胡须）to the simplicity of smooth shaves. A study once suggested that this swing might be less about fashion and more about biology and social dynamics.The theory goes that when a particular style becomes too common, it loses its uniqueness, and thus, its appeal. This pattern, termed 'Negative Frequency-Dependent Selection' (NFDS), suggests that rarity might give an advantage. For instance, in a sea of beards, the clean-shaven face becomes a sign of difference, an outlier that draws the eye.Yet, trends are more than mere biology; they are the whispers of a society speaking to itself about identity, resistance, and change. This is observed in the rise and fall of beards, a trend that grew as a response to an ever-changing world, where men pursued a re-connection with a raw, distinctive identity. It served as both a nod to by-gone eras and potentially a critique ofcon-termporary times.But as with all trends, saturation（饱和）leads to a tipping point. The uncommon becomes common, and society looks to the horizon for the next distinctive wave. The shift is inevitable, driven by an undercurrent of desire for something new.The phenomenon extends beyond facial hair to all manner of trends, from the clothes we wear to the devices we use. We chase the novel, the rare, the statement-making -- until, in our pursuit, we find it ordinary. And so, the cycle continues, driven by the ceaseless desire for differentiation and the inescapable pull of uniformity.As far as style is concerned, nothing is permanent. Today's symbol of distinction becomes tomorrow's footnote in the records of trend history. All that remains constant is change, and the certainty that whatever is considered the height of popularity now will inevitably become a part of history, paving the way for the fresh forerunners of the future.V.

华南师大附中2024届高三综合测试(二)英语
华南师大附中2024届高三综合测试(二)英语Here is the English essay based on the title you provided, with the text content exceeding 600 words:The Significance of Lifelong Learning in the 21st Century Education has always played a vital role in shaping the future of individuals and societies. In the ever-evolving landscape of the 21st century, the importance of lifelong learning has become increasingly apparent. As the world becomes more interconnected and technology-driven, the ability to adapt and continuously acquire new knowledge and skills has become a crucial asset for personal and professional success.One of the primary reasons why lifelong learning is essential is the rapid pace of change in the modern workplace. The skills and knowledge that were once considered valuable may quickly become obsolete as new technologies and industries emerge. Employees who are committed to lifelong learning are better equipped to navigate these changes and remain competitive in the job market. By continuously updating their skills and staying informed about industry trends, they can adapt to new challenges and seize emerging opportunities.Moreover, lifelong learning is not just about professional development; it is also crucial for personal growth and fulfillment. As individuals navigate the complexities of modern life, the ability to learn and grow can help them develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the world around them. Whether it's exploring a new hobby, delving into a subject of personal interest, or engaging in self-reflection, lifelong learning can foster a sense of curiosity, creativity, and self-awareness.In addition to its individual benefits, lifelong learning also has significant societal implications. As the world faces complex global challenges, such as climate change, healthcare crises, and social inequalities, the ability to collaborate, problem-solve, and generate innovative solutions becomes increasingly crucial. Individuals who are committed to lifelong learning are more likely to possess the critical thinking skills, adaptability, and openness to diverse perspectives necessary to address these challenges effectively.Furthermore, lifelong learning can contribute to the overall well-being and resilience of communities. When individuals engage in continuous learning, they not only expand their own knowledge and skills but also share their insights and experiences with others. This exchange of ideas and perspectives can foster social cohesion, promote cultural understanding, and inspire collective problem-solving efforts.However, the pursuit of lifelong learning is not without its challenges. In an era of information overload and competing demands on our time, it can be challenging to carve out dedicated learning opportunities. Additionally, access to quality educational resources and support systems may vary across different socioeconomic and geographic contexts, creating potential barriers to lifelong learning.To address these challenges, educational institutions, employers, and policymakers must work collaboratively to create a culture that values and supports lifelong learning. This may involve offering flexible and accessible learning options, providing financial and logistical support for ongoing education, and fostering a mindset of continuous growth and improvement within both individual and organizational settings.In conclusion, the significance of lifelong learning in the 21st century cannot be overstated. As the world continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the ability to adapt, learn, and grow will be a key determinant of personal and collective success. By embracing lifelong learning, individuals can unlock new opportunities, contribute to the betterment of their communities, and ultimately shape a more vibrant and resilient future for all.。

Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉) of being able to move ontheir own, “The art form amazes me, because it combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attracted collectors worldwide.Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first encountered automata designed by Japanese artist Kazuaki at an exhibition in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China in Beijing. “It was like meeting a like-minded friend, ” Yu says, recalling the moment. As an art and design major, he began to learn the craft by himself and, with the support of his tutor, he kept studying and examining automata in school.When he graduated in 2016, Yu landed a job at an advertising agency in Beijing. He stayed on at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. While working as a designer Yu kept exploring and advancing his skills in wood carving and mechanics. Eventually, despite the job’s good salary, it was not enough to make up for not following his true passion. Finally, in 2018, Yu quit his job and returned to Chengdu to open his automata workshop.To keep himself occupied while running his workshop, he planted blueberries, raspberries and cherries. He watered, weeded and added fertilizer (肥料) every day. “Daily routines helped me calm down and inspire mycreativity, which resulted in an automaton called To Observe the Autumn,” Yu says.Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺). Many of Yu’s creations are built with a dash of wisdom, a sprinkle of humor and are inspired by observations of real life. Yu knows that there are many more creative ideas waiting to be expressed. “It feels quite good to be fully devoted to automata creation and I am still searching for myself.”4. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Yu is equipped with various skills.B. Yu is a person full of sense of humor.C Yu is now gaining recognition worldwide.D. Yu is following the latest trend in handcraft.5. Why did Yu quit his job in Beijing?A. He couldn't make a living out of it.B. He wanted to pursue his own dream.C. He missed his family in Chengdu.D. He thought he had a lot experience.6. According to Yu, what contributes to his creativity as an automata artist?A. The fruits he grows.B. Success of his business.C. His devotion to the job.D. Observation from daily life.7. Which of the following can best describe Yu’s story?A. There is no end to learning.B. Great hopes make great man.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Experience is the mother of wisdom.CEvery day, millions of shoppers hit the stores in full force, searching wildly for the perfect gift.Aside from purchasing holiday gifts, most people regularly buy presents for other occasions throughout the year, including weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations. This frequent experience of gift-giving cancause uncertain feelings in gift-givers. Many enjoy the opportunity to buy presents because gift-giving offers a powerful means to build stronger bonds, while many worry that their purchases will disappoint rather than delight the intended recipients (接受者).Anthropologists describe gift-giving as a positive social process, serving various political, religious, and psychological functions. Economists, however, offer a less favorable view. According to Waldfogel, gift-givingrepresents an objective wasteof resources. People buy gifts that recipients would not choose to buy on their own, or at least not spend as much money to purchase (a phenomenon referred to as‘‘the deadweight loss of Christmas”).What is surprising is that gift-givers have much experience acting as both gift-givers and gift-recipients, but nevertheless tend to overspend each time they set out to purchase a meaningful gift. In the present research, we propose a unique psychological explanation for this overspending problem — gift-givers link how much they spend with how much recipients will appreciate the gift. Though it seems natural to gift-givers, such an assumption may be unfounded. Indeed, we propose that gift-recipients will be less likely to base their feelings of appreciation on the value of a gift than givers assume.Why do gift-givers assume that gift price is closely linked to gift-recipients’ feelings of appreciation? Perhaps givers believe that more expensive gifts communicate a stronger sense ofthoughtfulness and consideration. According to Camerer and others, gift-giving represents a symbolic ritual (习俗), by which gift-givers attempt to signal their positive attitudes towards the recipient and their willingness to invest resources in a futurerelationship. In this sense, gift-givers may be motivated to spend more money on a gift in order to send a “stronger signal”. As for gift-recipients, they may not interpret smaller and larger gifts as representing smaller and larger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration.The idea of gift-givers and gift-recipients being unable to account for the other party’s viewpoint seems confusing because people slip in and out of these roles every day. Yet, despite the experience as both givers and receivers, people often struggle to apply information gained from one role in another. In theoretical terms, people fail to use information about their own preferences and experiences to produce more efficient outcomes in their exchange relations. In practical terms, people spend hundreds of dollars each year on gifts, but somehow never learn to estimate their gift expense according to personal insight.8. The author uses “the deadweight loss of Christmas” in Paragraph 2 to express ________.A. gift-givers don’t spend much money during holidaysB. gift-givers don’t ask recipients what gifts they preferC. gift-givers buy improper and expensive giftsD. gift-givers have difficulty in choosing gifts9. According to the passage, people buy gifts to ________.A. receive gifts in returnB. enjoy the feeling of shoppingC. help recipients to save moneyD. better relationships with recipients10. What can we learn from the passage?A. People’s high living standards require expensive gifts.B. Gift-givers buy gifts based on their experiences as recipients.C. Anthropologists think gift-giving meets different human needs.D. Recipients judge the depth of friendship according to the gift price.11. Why did the author write this article?A. To criticize people’s gift-buying habits.B. To analyze people’s gift-giving behaviors.C. To offer advice on how to improve relationships.D. To remind people not to overlook others’ preferences.DA former UPS driver and his wife have made history by donating $20 million to Morgan State University – the largest gift any historically black college or university (HBCU) has ever received from a former student. The money, pledged by Calvin Tyler Jr and his wife Tina, will fund scholarships that were established under the Tylers’ name in 2002.Tyler grew up in a low-income family and was forced to drop out of Morgan State University in 1963 because he could no longer afford to study. The following year, Tyler saw a job advertisement in a Baltimore newspaper from United Parcel Service and got a job with the company as a driver. He rose through the ranks during his 34-year career at the global shipping company to become its senior vice president of US operations and a member of the board of directors before retiring in 1998.Tyler and his wife, also a Baltimore native, have lived all across the country but he said they have never forgotten their humble beginnings.Their latest pledge follows a $5million commitment they made in 2016 for the fund, which to date has supported 222 students with full or partial scholarships.Marybeth Gasman, a professor at Rutgers University who studies HBCUs, said the gift is significant because public HBCU’s like Morgan State University tend to have a lower alumni giving rate compared to private ones.“For a long time, they weren’t asking alumni to give,” she said. But that has changed in the past couple of decades, she added, and the schools have “started asking alumni to give and creating a culture of philanthropy (慈善) on campus.”David K. Wilson, the president of Morgan State University, said the money will help students for years to come. “Morgan is so proud to call this son and daughter of the great city of Baltimore our own,” he said in a statement. “Through their historic giving, the doors of higher education will most certainly be kept open for generations of aspiring leaders whose financial shortfalls may have kept them from realizing their academic dreams.”“We are forever indebted to the Tylers”.12. Why is Tyler’s donation historic?A. He was a former UPS driver.B. The donation is large enough.C. The donation will fund his scholarships.D. He used to be a student at the university.13. What is a driving force of Tyler’s donation?A. His working experiences.B. His career achievements.C. His promise to the university.D. His past embarrassing situations.14. Which is true about HBCUs according to Gasman?A. They are mainly public universities.B. They are encouraging alumni to donate.C. They rarely accept help from the alumni.D. They have changed little over the decades.15. What can be inferred about Tyler from Wilson’s comments?A. He’s helped many city leaders.B. He’s grateful to his university.C. He’s made great contributions.D. He’s proud of his son and daughter.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020届华东师范大学第二附属中学高三英语模拟试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AObesity (肥胖症) is becoming a problem in our busy society, and almost one in three American adults is now considered to be obese. Children obesity is alsoat an all-time high.Obesity means being very overweight. If you are obese, you have too much bodyfat. If you eat more food than your body can use, this will make you put on weight. Food that your body does not need will be stored as fat by your body.The following are the major factors that increase the risk of obesity.What you eat plays a major role in weight gain. Eating a lot of fast food such as hamburgers, sweet drinks, ice creams and other sweet food can increase the risk of becoming obese.If you do not do enough exercise, you will put on weight as the food you eat is not being used to make energy for physical activities.The chances of you being obese are greater if your parents are obese.There are many psychological factors that cause people to eat too much. People who are worried, unhappy or bored will often eat to make themselves feel better. This is known as comfort eating.Age is another factor, as you tend (趋于) to be less active when you get older. When you get older, you need to eat less, and if you do not eat less, you will put on weight. Obesity can cause many health problems such as heart problems, high blood pressure and many other serious medical conditions.1. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means that ____.A. obesity does not do harm to health.B. there are more obese children than before.C. all the American children are obese.D. there are less obese children in the USA.2. According to the passage, there are ____ major factors that increase the risk of obesity.A. threeB. fourC. fiveD. six3. What will the writer most probably talk about after the last paragraph?A. How to avoid obesity.B. How to live in the busy USA.C. What illnesses are caused by obesity.D. How doctors treat heart problems.BWhat do you think of 80s pop music? Do the names George Michael, Madonna and Michael Jackson sound familiar? Well, these are just some of the names that were well-known in the music scene of the 80s and early 90s. The 80s pop musicscene was an important step to the popularity (普及) of present-day music. A new wave in the music scene was introduced, which made such music styles as punk rock, rap music and the MTV popular. Although it was an end to the old 60s and 70s styles, it was also the beginning of something big. The popularity of music videos meant that artists now replaced their guitar-based music with visual displays. A new wave of artists came on the scene and the entire industry developed quickly.The most famous 80s pop music video is Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Introduced in 1982, few people can forget the video not only because of its never-be-foreseen images, but also because of the popularity it received. Think of how 80s pop music changed the lives of people who grew up in the 80s. Ask a young man today to tell you the names of the “New Kids on the Block” and he will start talking about the neighbor kids who just moved in. These are not the answers you might have heard in the 80s. Though today’s young men do not recognize how cool 80s pop music was, most people will always remember it for what it was and these are happy memories they will always love.Some of the 80s pop music legends (传奇人物) include Madonna, U2, AeroSmith and of course the King of Pop Michael Jackson. Let’s not forget Prince, Tina Turner, Phil Collins and Motown’s Lionel Ritchie. Some of these musicians played music that has stood the test of time. Undoubtedly, the 80s pop music scene will live on for many more years to come.4. What is the text mainly about?A. The characters of 80s pop music.B. What made 80s pop music popular.C. 80s pop music’s steps to popularity.D. The effects of 80s pop music.5. 80s pop music mainly includes the following styles EXCEPT ________.A. guitar-based musicB. the MTVC. rap musicD. punk rock6. Michael Jackson’s Thriller impressed people so deeply mainly because ________.A. it changed the lives of peopleB. he sang it in a special styleC. it was made into a music videoD. it left people with happy memories7. The purpose of the last paragraph is to tell readers that ________.A. 80s pop music is and will remain popularB. 80s pop music has many faultsC. 80s pop music is now out of dateD. we shouldn’t forget the great musicians of the 80sCI was in the second year of my Ph. D. program when a colleague asked what I would do if I had an extra hour every day. Without much consideration, I said I would use it to help others. The question kept coming to my mind. Like many graduate students, I was overwhelmed (难以承受的) with research, teaching, coursework, and some attempt at a personal life. Still, I asked myself, "Do I really need a 25th hour to help other people-or do I need to make better use of the 24 hours I have?"I needed something to help me return to my old self. After that conversation with my colleague, I googled (谷歌搜索) “volunteer opportunities near me”. A local organization that drives people to stores or appointments was looking for volunteers. Having grown up in a rural village where everyone knew oneanother and my grandparents were always close by, I thought serving senior citizens in my new hometown might be just what I needed.A short time later, I started to volunteer for an organization that provides transportation for senior citizens and people with disabilities. To my surprise, adding this activity to my busy life was just what I needed to calm the confusion I was feeling as a first-generation international graduate student.I started to volunteer about 3 hours every weekend, the time I otherwise would have wasted oversleeping or scrolling (滚屏) through social media. Sharing stories with my riders was much more rewarding. What they told me about their lives helped me realize that in every corner of the world, humans are connected with the languageof emotions. And seeing how eager my riders were to spend time out and about inspired me to think about how to spend my time, which used to slip away. My previously overwhelming schedule began to feel manageable.I'm proud of who I have become, and I continue to reflect on how I'm using the most valuable thing in life: my time.8. Why did the author ask himself the question in Paragraph 1?A. He wanted to return to normal life.B. He was busy but wanted to help others.C. He couldn't bear too much school work.D. He couldn't answer his colleague's question.9. How did the author find the volunteer job?A. A colleague recommended it.B. A local organization offered it.C. He got it from his grandparents.D. He got it by surfing on the Internet.10. What made the author feel his volunteer job was worth doing?A. Communicating with his riders.B. Improving his language learning.C. Meeting his grandparents often.D. Realizing his previous dream.11. How did volunteering influence the author?A. It helped himbecome confident and efficient.B. He found a good way to live a free and quiet life.C. He realized he had wasted too much time pursuing his Ph.D.D. It inspired him to spare more time to accompany his grandparents.DWolves have a certain undeserved reputation: fierce, dangerous, good forhunting down deer and farmers’ livestock. However, wolves have a softer, more social side, one that has been embraced by a heart-warming new initiative.In a bid to save some of Europe’s last wolves, scientists have explored the willingness of these supposedly fierce creatures to help others of their kind. Female wolves, the scientists have discovered, make excellent foster parents to wolf cubs that are not their own. The study, published in Zoo Biology, suggests that captive-bred wolfcubs(幼兽)could be placed with wild wolf families, boosting the wild population.The gray wolf was once the world’s most widely distributed mammal, but it became extinct as a result of widespread habitat destruction and the deliberate killing of wolves suspectedof preying on livestock. Fear and hatred of the wolf have since become culturally rooted, fuelled by myths, fables and stories.In Scandinavia, the gray wolf is endangered, the remaining population found by just five animals. As a result, European wolves are severely inbred and have little geneticvariability（变异性）, making them vulnerable to threats, such as outbreaks of disease that they can’t adapt to quickly. So Inger Scharis and Mats Amundin of Linkoping University, in Sweden, started Europe’s first gray wolf-fostering program. They worked with wolves keptat seven zoos across Scandinavia. Eight wolf cubs between four and six days old were removed from their natural parents and placed with other wolf packs in other zoos. The foster mothers accepted the new cubs placed in their midst.The welfare of the foster cubs and the wolves’ natural behavior were monitored using a system of surveillance cameras. The foster cubs had a similar growth rate as their step siblings in the recipient litter, as wellas their biological siblings in the source litter. The foster cubs had a better overall survival rate, with 73% surviving until 33 weeks, than their biological siblings left behind, of which 63% survived. That rate of survival is similar to that seen in wild wolf cubs. Scientists believe that wolves can recognize their young, but this study suggests they can only do so once cubs are somewhere between three to seven weeks of age.If captive-bred cubs can be placed with wild-living families, which already have cubs of a similar age, not only will they have a good chance of survival, but they could help dramatically increase the diversity of the wild population, say the researchers. Just like the wild wolves they would join, these foster cubs would need protection from hunting. Their arrival could help preserve the future of one of nature’s most iconic and polarizing animals.12. What’s the theme of the passage?A. Giving wolf cubs a new lifeB. Foster wolf parents and foster cubsC. The fate of wild wolvesD. Changing diversity of wild wolves13. Which of the following flow chart best demonstrates the relationship between the wolves?A. B.C. D.14. Which of the following statements is true?A. Female wolves are willing to raise wolf cubs of 3 to 7 weeks old.B. Foster cubs are accepted by foster parents and are well bred.C. Man’s hostile attitude towards wolves roots in myths, fables and stories.D. Foster cubs and their biological siblings have similar growth rate and survival rate.15. What’s the purpose of the research?A. To help wolves survive various threatsB. To improve wolves’ habitat and stop deliberate killingC. To save endangered wolves by increasing their populationD.

Thirty years later, a young man interviewed survivors from the conference, trying to uncover the truth about what happened and its consequences. This novel, by a well-known Argentine writer, explores art, crime and politics.When Breath Becomes Air, by Paul KalanithiAt thirty-six, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed (诊断) with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient. This autobiography finds hope and beauty in the face of death as Kalanithi attempts to answer the question “What makes a life worth living?”.To Killa Mockingbird, by Harper LeeSet in a smallAlabamatown in the 1930s, the story focuses on honest, highly respected lawyer Atticus Finch who puts his career on the line when he agrees to represent Tom Robinson, a black man accused of committing a crime.Nobody Will Tell You This But Me: A true (as told to me) storyby Bess KalbBess Kalb saved every voicemail from her grandmother Bobby Bell who died at ninety. In this book, Bobby is speaking to Bess once more, in a voice as loving as it ever was in life and brings us several generations of brave women.

A 34-year-oldUSman recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper—the spiciest chili in the world. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following few days, reported BBC News.In fact, reports of stomachache and headache caused by eating spicy food are not something unusual. But if chilies are harmful, why is it that human beings are the only animals to eat this vegetable? According to the website Huanqiu, about 600 million Chinese people—almost half of the national population—are chili eaters. So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body reacts to the burning feeling that comes from eating chilies by releasing natural chemicals that “produce a sense of happiness” , noted BBC News.And the benefits go even further than just personal enjoyment. A survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The number decreased to 14 percent for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. And another study done by theUniversityofVermontcame to a similar conclusion. “The data encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and reduce death risk at an early age,” Liu Qi, a nutritionist at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, told BBC News.Chilies have anti-cancer quality and the ability to increase our metabolism (新陈代谢). So, don't worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us—except for the Carolina Reaper, perhaps.4. The example of a 34-year-old American is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to prove ________.A. chiliescan be beneficialB. chilies are popular inAmericaC. chilies can be dangerousD. serious headaches can be dangerous5. Eating chilies gives people a sense of happiness by_______.A. decreasing death rateB. releasing natural chemicalsC. curing serious headachesD. providing enough nutrition6. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. Human are the only animals to eat chilies.B. Stomachache and headaches caused by chilies is something unusual.C. The more chilies you eat, the healthier you are.D. Chilies have anti-cancer quality but it can't increase our metabolism.7. The writer wrote the passage to ________.A. warn people of the dangers of chiliesB. ask people to eat Carolina ReaperC. encourage people to eat more chiliesD. tell people the benefits of chiliesCAvi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.8. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?A. It is an icy comet.B. It looks like a long photo.C. It is actually some sort of rock.D. It may come from another alien civilization.9. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Goes against.B. Relies on.C. Turns to.D. Searches for.10. What do you think of Loeb?A. He is foolish.B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D. He is uncertain about his career future.11. What's the best title for the text?A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?C. Scientists Are Working on High TechnologyD. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space TravelDThe far side of the moonis a strange and wild region, quite different from the familiar and mostly smooth face we see nightly from our planet. Soon this rough space will have even stranger features: it will be crowded with radio telescopes.Astronomers are planning to make the moon's distant side our newest and best window on the cosmic(宇宙的) dark ages, a mysterious era hiding early marks of stars and galaxies. Our universe was not always filled with stars. About 380,000 years after the big bang, the universe cooled, and the first atoms of hydrogen formed. Gigantic hydrogen clouds soon filled the universe. But for a few hundred million years, everything remained dark, without stars. Then came the cosmic dawn: the first stars flickered, galaxies came into existence and slowly the universe's largescale structure took shape.The seeds of this structure must have been present in the darkage hydrogen clouds, but the era has been impossible toprobeusing optical(光学的) telescopes—there was no light. And although this hydrogen produced longwavelength(or lowfrequency) radio emissions,radio telescopes on Earth have found it nearly impossible to detect them. Our atmosphere either blocks or disturbs these faint signals; those that get through are drowned out by humanity's radio noise.Scientists have dreamed for decades of studying the cosmic dark ages from the moon's far side. Now multiple space agencies plan lunar missions carrying radiowavedetecting instruments—some within the next three years—and astronomers' dreams are set to become reality.“If I were to design an ideal place to do lowfrequency radio astronomy, I would have to build the moon,”says astrophysicist Jack Burns of the University of Colorado Boulder. “We are just now finally getting to the place where we're actually going to be putting these telescopes down on the moon in the next few years.”12. What's the purpose of building radio telescopes on the moon?A To research the big bang. B. To discover unknown stars.C. To study the cosmic dark ages.D. To observe the far side of the moon.13. What does the underlined word “probe” in Paragraph 3 possibly mean?A. Explore.B. Evaluate.C. Produce.D. Predict.14. Hydrogen radio emissions can't be detected on Earth because ________．A. there was no light in the dark agesB. they cannot possibly get through our atmosphereC. gigantic hydrogen clouds no longer fill the universeD. radio signals on Earth cause too much interference15. What can we infer from theunderlined sentence in the last paragraph?A. Scientists have to rebuild the moon.B. We will finally get to the moon's distant side.C. The moon is a perfect place to set up radio telescopes.D. A favorable research environment will be found on the moon.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It was the largest wildfire in the state's recorded history, breaking the record previously set in 2018. After the fire, land managers must determine where to most efficiently plant new trees.A predictive mapping model called the Postfire Spatial Conifer Restoration Planning Tool recently described in Ecological Applications could inform these decisions, saving time and expense. The tool can “show where young trees are needed most, where the forest isn't going to come back on its own, where we need to intervene（干预）if we want to maintain forests," says lead author Joseph Stewart, an ecologist at the University of California, Davis.To develop the model, Stewart and his colleagues classified data collected from more than 1,200 study plots in 19 areas that burned between 2004 and 2012. They combined these data with information on rainfall, geography, climate, forest composition and bum severity.Theyalso included how many seeds sample conifer trees （针叶树）produced in 216locations over 18 years, assessing whether the trees release different numbers of seeds after a fire.The tool's potential benefits are significant, says Kimberley Davis, a conservation scientist attheUniversityofMontana, who was not involved in the study. Those managers will still have to make hard decisions, such as which species to plant in areas that may experience warmer and drier conditions resulting from climate change, but the model provides some research-based guidance to help the forests recover.4. What challenge do land managers face after the wildfire?A. Lack of wood supplies.B. Where to plant new trees best.C. How to save the burned trees.D. Loss of trees and wild animals.5. What's the main idea of paragraph 2?A. The function of the tool.B. The disadvantages of the tool.C. The improvement of the tool.D. The development of the tool.6. What does the underlined word "They" refer to?A. The study plots.B. The data.C. Stewart and his colleagues.D. The seeds.7. What isDavis' attitude towards the tool?A. Skeptical.B. Ambiguous.C. Tolerant.D. Optimistic.CI dropped out of college after my first year. Three years later, I returned to college after having been stuck in a dead-end job, working at a department store. I saw school as my way out. But I quickly found myself up against the same problems that had caused me to give up before. I was in over my head with college-level algebra (代数) and a heavy workload of reading and writing homework. In addition, I was still unsure of my career (职业) direction。
