In the 1960s, while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that, oddly, had not troubled anyone before: he couldn't find the park's volcano．It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature﹣that's what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features．But Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere．Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone（圆锥体） shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma （岩浆） piles up．These can form remarkably quickly．In 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land．In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high．Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across．Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct．There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesn't involve mountain building．These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera．Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christiansen couldn't find thecaldera anywhere．Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high﹣altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone．A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice ________ for one of the visitors' centers．As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park﹣22 million acres﹣was caldera．The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across﹣much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level．At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans．（1）What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone？________A.Its complicated geographical features．B.Its ever﹣lasting influence on tourism．C.The mysterious history of the park．D.The exact location of the volcano．．（2）What does the second paragraph mainly talk about？________A.The shapes of volcanoes．B.The impacts of volcanoes．C.The activities of volcanoes．D.The heights of volcanoes．．（3）What does the underlined word "blow﹣up" in the last paragraph most probably mean？________A.Hot﹣air balloon．B.Digital camera．C.Big photograph．D.Bird's view．19. Who cares if people think wrongly that the internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people'sopinions． However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources．The fascination with the ICT （Information and Communication Technology）revolution, represented by the internet, has made some rich counties wrongly conclude that making things is so "yesterday" that they should try to live on ideas． This belief in "post﹣industrial society" has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector （制造业）, with negative consequences for their economies．Even more worryingly, the fascination with the internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the "digital divide" between the richcountries and the poor countries． This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and internet facilities． The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need themost． Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as diggingwells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up internet centres in rural villages． I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long﹣term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money．In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a"borderless world"． As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back． Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross﹣border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results．Understanding technological trends in very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level． However, our fascination with the latest, and our under﹣valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions．（1）Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to________．A.a lack of confidence in technologyB.a slow progress in technologyC.a conflict of public opinionsD.a waste of limited resources．（2）The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should________．A.take people's essential needs into accountB.make their programmes attractive to peopleC.ensure that each child gets financial supportD.provide more affordable internet facilities．（3）What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations？________A.Neglecting the impacts of technological advances．B.Believing that the world has become borderless．C.Ignoring the power of economic development．D.Over﹣emphasizing the role of international communication．．（4）What can we learn from the passage？________A.People should be encouraged to make more donations．B.Traditional technology still has a place nowadays．C.Making right career choices is crucial to personal success．D.Economic policies should follow technological trends．20. The 65﹣year﹣old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer's（阿尔兹海默症）, He was losing his memory．A software engineer by profession, Steve was a keen lover of the piano, and the only musician in his family． Music was his true passion, though he had never performed outside the family．Melissa, his daughter, felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell asleep each night when she was young． She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father．Naomi, Melissa's best friend and a talented pianist, got to know about this and showed willingness to help．"Why do this? "Steve wondered．"Because she cares．"Melissa said．Steve nodded, tear in eye．Naomi drove to the Goodwin home she told Steve she'd love to hear him play． Steve moved to the piano and sat at the bench, hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys．Naomi put a small recorder near the piano． Starts and stops and mistakes． Long pauses, heart sinking． But Steve pressed on, playing for the first time in his life for a stranger．"It was beautiful, "Naomi said after listening to the recording．"The music was worth saving．"Her responsibility, her privilege, would be to rescue it． The music was still in Steve Goodwin． It was hidden in rooms with doors about to be locked．Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together． He'd move his fingers clumsily on the piano, and then she'd take his place． He struggled to explain what he heard in his head． He stood by the piano, eyes closed, listening for the first time to his own work being played by someone else．Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code: lines, beats, intervals, moving from the root to end a song in a new key． Steve heard it． All of it． He just couldn't play it．Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve． It had excited within him the belief he could write one last song． One day, Naomi received an email．Attached was a recording, a recording of loss and love, of the fight．Steve called it"Melancholy Flower．"Naomi heard multiple stops and starts, Steve struggling, searching while his wife Joni called him"honey"and encouraged him． The task was so hard, and Steve, angry and upset, said he was quitting． Joni praised him, telling her husband this could be his signature piece．Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve's favorite, and most personal, songs．With Naomi's help, the Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve's songs． Joni thought that would be the end． But it wasn't．In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert, Naomi told the director she had a special one in mind: "Melancholy Flower．"She told the director about her project with Steve． The director agreed to add it to the playing list． But Naomi would have to ask Steve's permission． He considered it an honor． After the concert, Naomi told the family that Steve's music was beautiful and professional． It needed to be shared in public．The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert． Bythe day of the show, more than 300 people had said they would attend．By then, Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends． He knew the path his life was now taking． He told his family he was at peace．Steve arrived and sat in the front row, surrounded by his family． The house lights faded． Naomi took the stage． Her fingers． His heart．（1）Why did Melissa want to save her father's music？________A.His music could stop his disease from worsening．B.She wanted to please her dying old father．C.His music deserved to be preserved in the family．D.She wanted to make her father a professional．．（2）After hearing Steve's playing，Naomi________．A.refused to make a comment on itB.was deeply impressed by his musicC.decided to free Steve from sufferingD.regretted offering help to her friend．（3）How can the process of Steve's recording be described？________A.It was slow but productive．B.It was beneficial to his health．C.It was tiresome for Naomi．D.It was vital for Naomi's career．．（4）Before Steve finished "Melancholy Flower，"his wife Joni________．A.thought the music talent of Steve was exhaustedB.didn't expect the damage the disease brought aboutC.didn't fully realize the value of her husband's musicD.brought her husband's music career to perfection．（5）How did Steve feel at the concert held in downtown Portland？________A.He felt concerned about his illness．B.He sensed a responsibility for music．C.He regained his faith in music．D.He got into a state of quiet．．（6）What can be a suitable title for the passage？________A.The Kindness of FriendsB.The Power of MusicC.The Making of a MusicianD.The Value of Determination．第四部分：任务型阅读（满分10分）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．每个空格只填一个单词．21.The Cost of ThinkingDespite their many differences，all human beings share several defining

seems obvious that evolution should select for larger brains． Mammals（哺乳动物）weighing sixty kilograms have an average brain size of 200 cm3． Modern man has a brain averaging 1200﹣1400 cm3．We are so fond of our high intelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power，more must be better． Unfortunately， that is not the case．The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drain﹣consumption of energy﹣on the body． It's not easy to carry around，especially when boxed inside a massive skull（颅骨）． It's even harder to provide energy． In modern man，the brain accounts for about 2﹣3% of total body weight， but it consumes 25% of the body's energy when the body is at rest． By comparison，the brains of apes （类人猿） require only 8% of rest﹣time energy． Early humans paid for their large brains in two ways． Firstly， they spent more time in search of food． Secondly，their muscles grew smaller and weaker． It's hardly an obvious conclusion that this is a good way to survive． A chimpanzee（黑猩猩）can't win an argument with a modern man，but it can tear the man apart like a rag doll．Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright．Standing up，it's easier to find food or enemies． In addition，their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes，like throwing stones or signaling．As a result，humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands．Yet walking upright has its disadvantage． The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on all fours and had a relatively small head． Adjusting to an upright position was quite a challenge，especially when the bones had to support an extra﹣large skull． Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful hands with backaches and painful necks．We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages．It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth． But humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they remained weak and marginal creatures． Thus humans who lived a million years ago， despite their big brains and sharpstone tools， lived in constant fear of meat﹣eating animals．22.

traditional Chinese dress for the welcome ceremony．Li Jiang：But it seems people have different opinions．Su Hua： What do you think？Li Jiang： I think it's a good idea． It's an opportunity to make the Chinese culture better known to international students．Su Hua： I agree． But we don't have to dress that way． That's not our dailystyle． Besides， it's not very convenient．Li Jiang： You see， it's the Chinese culture that the British friends are coming for． Just the right occasion．Su Hua： I prefer the school uniform． It's nice． It's also a better display of our school

main question presented in the dialogue is whether the students should wear traditional costumes during a ceremony for foreign students．【高分句型一】The students had each given their own stand and reasons．（概述）I am more inclined to agree with Li Jiang， taking into consideration of the following perspectives．First，traditional costumes are one of the most suitable items when it comes to presenting our culture． They are highly representative of our traditions， and will undoubtedly leave a deep impression on the foreign students who are coming for a 'cultural' exchange．【高分句型二】 Second，attending the event in traditional Chinese dress may open up several opportunities for interaction． The organizer can come up with several activities based on the attire itself， such as inviting the foreign students to try our traditional costumes．To conclude，my advice is that the students should wear traditional Chinese dress for this occasion．（结论）。

范文：Last summer, I embarked on an unforgettable journey to the ancient city of Xi'an. The trip was filled with excitement and challenges. One of the most memorable experiences was when I got lost in the bustling streets of the city. With no mobile signal, I had to rely on the kindness of strangers to find my way back to the hotel. This incident taught me the importance of communication and adaptability.During the trip, I also encountered language barriers, but I overcame them by using translation apps and learning a few basic phrases in Chinese. These experiences not only enriched my travel but also contributed to my personal growth. I learned to be more independent and resourceful, and I gained a deeper appreciation for different cultures.Traveling has a profound impact on one's life. It broadens one's horizons and fosters a sense of adventure. It is through such experiences that we truly grow and develop as individuals.结束语：江苏高考英语试题涵盖了听力、阅读、语法、写作等多个方面，旨在全面考察学生的英语综合能力。

Asrecently reported in The Auk:Ornithological Advances, somemother birds may teach their young to sing even before theyhatch <孵化>.New-born chicks can then imitate their mom’s callwithin a few days of entering the world.This educational method was first observed in 2022 bySonia Kleindorfer, a biologist at Flinders University inSouthAustralia, and her colleagues. Female Australian superb fairy wrens were found to repeat one soundover and over again while hatching their eggs. When the eggs were hatched, the baby birds madethe similar chirp to their mothers—a sound that served as their regular ＂feed me!＂call.To find out if the special quality was more widespread in birds, the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren, another species of Australian songbird. First they collected sound data from 67nests in four sites in Queensland before and after hatching.Then they identified begging calls byanalyzing the order and number of notes. A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced bymothers and chicks, ranking them by similarity.It turns out that baby red-backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their moms. And themore frequently mothers had called to their eggs, the more similar were the babies’ begging calls. Inaddition, the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the baby birds that most closelyimitated their mom’s voice were rewarded with the most food.This observation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological <神经系统的> strengthsof children to parents.An evolutionary inference can then be drawn.＂As a parent,doyou invest in quality children, or do you invest in children that are in need?＂Kleindorfer asks. ＂Ourresults suggest that they mightbe going for quality.＂58.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 means＂__________＂.A. be the worstB. be the bestC. be the as badD. be just as good59. What are Kleindorfer’s findings based on?A. Similarities between the calls of moms and chicks.B. The observation of fairy wrens across Australia.C. The data collected from Queensland’s locals.D. Controlled experiments on wrens and other birds.60. Embryonic learning helps mother birds to identify the baby birds which __________.A. can receive quality signalsB. are in need of trainingC. fit the environment betterD. make the loudest callCA new commodity brings about a highly profitable,fast-growing industry,urging antitrust〔反垄断〕regulatorsto step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago,the resource in question was oil.Now similar concerns are being raised by the giants 〔巨头〕that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google,Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable.Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up.But size alone is not a crime.The giants’success has benefited consumers.Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery.Far from charging consumers high prices, many of these services are free <users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data>. And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too.But there is cause for concern.The Internet has made data abundant,all-present and far more valuable, changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other companies. Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a ＂God’s eye view＂of activities in their own markets and beyond.This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google intofive small ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time, one of them would become great again. A rethink is required—and as a new approach starts to become apparent, two ideas stand out.The first is that antitrust authorities need to move from the industrial age into the 21st century.When considering a merger<兼并>,for example, they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in. They now need to take into account the extent of firms’data assets<资产>when assessing the impact of deals.The purchase price could also be a signal that an established company is buying a new-born threat. When this takes place, especially when a new-born company has no revenue to speak of, the regulators should raise red flags.The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on-line services have over data and give more to those who supply them panies could be forced to consumers what information they hold and how many money they make form it. Governments could order the sharing of certain kinds of data, with users’ consent.Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy. But if governments don’t want a data economy controlled by a few giants, they must act soon.61.Why is there a call to break up giants?A. They have controlled the data market.B. They collect enormous private data.C. They no longer provide free services.D. They dismissed some new-born giants.62.What does the technological innovation in Paragraph 3 indicate?A. Data giants’ technology is very expensive.B. Google’s idea is popular among data firms.C. Data can strengthen giants’ controlling position.D. Data can be turned into new services or products.63. By paying attention to firms’ data assets, antitrust regulators could__________.A. kill a new threatB. avoid the size trapC. favour bigger firmsD. charge higher prices64. What is the purpose of loosening the giants’ control of data?A. Big companies could relieve data security pressure.B. Governments could relieve their financial pressure.C. Consumers could better protect their privacy.D. Small companies could get more opportunities.DOld Problem,New ApproachesWhile clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life,global warming will continue for some decades emissions 〔排放〕peak. So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today, we would still face the after CO2challenge of adapting to climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least, the US National Climate Assessment says that: ＂There is no ‘one-size fits all’ adaptation.＂Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost.Around the world,people are adapting in surprising ways,especially in some poor countries.Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others sawonly disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity 〔连体〕to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds prevent starvation during the wet season.Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. ChewangNorphel lives in a mountainous region in India,where he is known as the Ice Man.The loss of glaciers<冰川>there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphel’s inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation<灌溉> water. Having created nine such ice reserves,Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200, 000m3 of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphel’s ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.Increasing Earth’s reflectiveness can cool the planet. In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses <which reflect light back to space> has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This example should act as an inspiration for all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-givingthe planet＂.More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere. A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria.Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping.But during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops. Farmers in many countries are also adapting like this—either by growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently. This is common sense. But some suggestions for adapting are not.When the polluting industries argue that we’ve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, it’s a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways. But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in that way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others.65. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies __________.A. adaptation is an ever-changing processB. the cost of adaptation varies with timeC. global warming affects adaptation formsD. adaptation to climate change is challenging66. What is special with regard to Rezwan’s project?A. The project receives government support.B. Different organizations work with each other.C. His organization makes the best of a bad situation.D. The project connects flooded roads and highways.67. What did the Ice Man do to reduce the effect of global warming?A. Storing ice for future use.B. Protecting the glaciers from melting.C. Changing the irrigation time.D. Postponing the melting of the glaciers.68. What do we learn from the Peru example?A. White paint is usually safe for buildings.B. The global warming tread cannot be stopped.C. This country is heating up too quickly.D. Sunlight reflection may relieve global warming.69. According to the author, polluting industries should __________.A. adapt to carbon pollutionB. plant highly profitable cropsC. leave carbon emission aloneD. fight against carbon pollution70. What ’s the author ’s preferred solution to global warming?A. Setting up a new standard.B. Reducing carbon emission.C. Adapting to climate change.D.

However, that increase slowed down in 2022.The reasons behind this are various. The fast economic development before 2022 was probably the mostpowerful engine driving the constant growth in the box -office income. The application of new technologies and the wide appeal of movie stars could also account for the increase. However, China saw a decline in its economic growth rate last year. And the internet increased options for movie lovers. Consequently, some viewers began to turn away from cinemas, leading to a slower growth.China ’s economy is expected to grow at a medium speed in the coming years, so an increase is possible in the investment in the movie industry and the number of quality movies. Therefore, its box -office income will probably enjoy a slight increase. <150 words>22. B 32. D 42. D 52. D21. A 31. C 41. A 51. A23.D 33.B 43.C53.B24.C 34.A 44.B 54.B71. lower76. earlier3.C 13.A56.

AGrading Policies for Introduction to LiteratureGrading Scale90-100, A; 80-89, B; 70-79, C; 60-69, D; Below 60, E.Essays (60%)Your four major essays will combine to form the main part of the grade for this course: Essay 1 = 10%; Essay 2-15%; Essay 3= 15%; Essay 4 = 20%.Group Assignments (30%)Students will work in groups to complete four assignments (作业) during the course. All the assignments will be submitted by the assigned date through Blackboard, our online learning and course management system.Daily Work/In-Class Writings and Test/Group Work/Homework (10%)Class activities will vary from day to day, but students must be ready to complete short in-class writings or tests drawn directly from assigned readings or notes from the previous class’ lecture/discussion, so it is important to tak e careful notes during class. Additionally, from time to time I will assign group work to be completed in class or short assignments to be completed at home, both of which will be graded.Late WorkAn essay not submitted in class on the due date will lose a letter grade for each class period it is late. If it is not turned in by the 4th day after the due date, it will earn a zero. Daily assignments not completed during class will get a zero. Short writings missed as a result of an excused absence will be accepted.21. Where is this text probably taken from?A. A textbook.B. An exam paper.C. A course plan.D. An academic article.22. How many parts is a student’s final grade made up of?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.23. What will happen if you submit an essay one week after the due date?A. You will receive a zero.B. You will lose a letter grade.C. You will be given a test.D. You will have to rewrite it.BLike most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste. The arugula (芝麻菜) was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food waste goes against the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month’s cover story. It’s jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away -- from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”If that’s hard to understand, let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time -- but for him, it’s more like 12 boxes of donated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington. D.C., which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished (有瑕疵的) produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.Such methods seem obvious, yet so often we just don’t think. “Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won’t eat.” Curtin says.24. What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story?A. We pay little attention to food waste.B. We waste food unintentionally at times.C. We waste more vegetables than meat.D. We have good reasons for wasting food.25. What is a consequence of food waste according to the text?A. Moral decline.B. Environmental harm.C. Energy shortage.D. Worldwide starvation.26. What does Curtin’s company do?A. It produces kitchen equipment.B. It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.C. It helps local farmers grow fruits.D. It makes meals out of unwanted food.27. What does Curtin suggest people do?A. Buy only what is needed.B. Reduce food consumption.C. Go shopping once a week.D. Eat in restaurants less often.CThe elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residen ts come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”28. What is the purpose of the project?A. To ensure harmony in care homes.B. To provide part-time jobs for the aged.C. To raise money for medical research.D. To promote the elderly people’s welfare.29. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier?A. She has learned new life skills.B. She has gained a sense of achievement.C. She has recovered her memory.D. She has developed a strong personality.30. What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7?A. Improve.B. Oppose.C. Begin.D. Evaluate.31. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs?A. It is well received.B. It needs to be more creative.C. It is highly profitable.D. It takes ages to see the results.DHuman speech contains more than 2,000 different sounds, from the common “m”and “a” to the rare clicks of some southern African languages. But why are certain sounds more common than others? A ground-breaking, five-year study shows that diet-related changes in human bite led to new speech sounds that are now found in half the world’s languages.More than 30 years ago, the scholar Charles Hockett noted that speech sounds called labiodentals, such as “f” and “v”, were more common in the languages of soci eties that ate softer foods. Now a team of researchers led by Damián Blasi at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, has found how and why this trend arose.They discovered that the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned (对齐), making it hard to produce labiodentals, which are formed by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth. Later, our jaws changed to an overbite structure (结构), making it easier to produce such sounds.The team showed that this change in bite was connected with the development of agriculture in the Neolithic period. Food became easier to chew at this point. The jawbone didn’t have to do as much work and so didn’t grow to be so large.Analyses of a language database also confirmed that there was a global change in the sound of world languages after the Neolithic age, with the use of “f”and “v”increasing remarkably during the last few thousand years. These sounds are still not found in the languages of many hunter-gatherer people today.This research overturns the popular view that all human speech sounds were present when human beings evolved around 300,000 years ago. “The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained stable since the appearance of human beings, but rather the huge variety of speech sounds that we find today is the product of a complex interplay of things like biological change and cultural evolution,”said Steven Moran, a member of the research team. 32. Which aspect of the human speech sound does Damián Blasi’s research focus on?A. Its variety.B. Its distribution.C. Its quantity.D. Its development.33. Why was it difficult for ancient human adults to produce labiodentals?A. They had fewer upper teeth than lower teeth.B. They could not open and close their lips easily.C. Their jaws were not conveniently structured.D. Their lower front teeth were not large enough.34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A. Supporting evidence for the research results.B. Potential application of the research findings.C. A further explanation of the research methods.D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.35. What does Steven Moran say about the set of human speech sounds?A. It is key to effective communication.B. It contributes much to cultural diversity.C. It is a complex and dynamic system.D. It drives the evolution of human beings.第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分。
