In the spring of 2020, like the rest of the world, I spent a lot of time staring at a screen and that was when I first got into the world. I discovered that onscreen offerings were truly endless. From one r I learned how to plant my own vegetable garden. Someone else shared poetry from Robert Frost, wise sayings from Confucius, and a smattering (一知半解) of other philosophical viewpoints, all of which helped me through some dark days. Down the rabbit hole I went, scrolling for hours and hours, watching other people living their lives and giving me advice on how to live mine.As the months rolled by, turned my attention away from the hard reality of what was going on in the world. I subscribed to several channels and waited anxiously for new weekly offerings. I watched people reading poetry or painting by streams or looking out windows into snowy landscapes.I found all this calming. Such lovely scenery, such beautiful background music, and such pretty clothes they were wearing!At some point though, I got upset by these artistic and seemingly perfect lives. Who is filming them? I wondered. Do they rehearse or just act on the spot? Isn’t it cold, stepping through snow banks in dresses? The questions kept bothering me while forcing comparisons to my own somewhat more ordinary existence. I wanted to walk in a flowing dress through hilly green field filled with wildflowers! Instead, I was marching through my neighborhood’s city streets in mom jeans.In a moment of insight, I realized that I had a full and happy life, which although it wouldn’t win awards for perfection onscreen, suited me perfectly. I put my phone away and started paying attention to my own life instead of watching other people live theirs. I still like checking in once in a while. can be a rich source of entertainment and inspiration, but I’ve limited my exposure. I amcontent with the knowledge that my addiction to life onscreen has been replaced by life itself4.

CPhotosynthesis (光合作用) is a unique skill of green plants-they turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and food via sunlight. A group of Chinese scientists, however, "copied" the process on animals.To understand the new breakthrough, it is important to know how photosynthesis works. Plants take in carbon dioxide and water from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose (葡萄糖) .The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air and stores energy within the glucose molecules. In the study, the researchers from Zhejiang University developed an independent and controllable photosynthetic system, according to the study published in Nature in early December, 2022.They separated thylakoids(类囊体), a part of the cell where light reactions take place in plants, from young spinach (菠菜) leaves. The scientists then wrapped the thylakoids with the cover of animal cells, which made the implanted thylakoids more acceptable to foreign bodies. The mice used in the study were suffering from arthritis (关节炎) meaning cells in their cartilage had degenerated and could not be repaired by themselves. With the thylakoids implanted into the mice and exposed to light, the mice recovered. Their metabolism (新陈代谢) returned to normal.In arthritis, the patients usually have energy loss since fewer energy-carrying molecules are generated. The implant, however, can correct the imbalance by storing more energy via photosynthesis.The researchers also claimed that their tests would have medical usage. It can be used as part of solution for degenerative diseases because the natural photosynthesis system my repair cells. It may also delay the aging process in cells.The study showed an exciting achievement that opens up possibilities of metabolism engineering" commented one of the paper's reviewers Francisco Cejudo from the University of Seville in in, reported Xinhua.8. What is mainly mentioned in paragraph 2?A. The theory behind the experiment.B. The background of the experiment.C. The procedures of the experiment.D. The effects of the experiment.9. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. A group of Chinese scientists copied the photosynthesis of animals on plants.B. The place in which the plant stores energy is thylakoids.C. The thylakoids wrapped by animal cells make itself accepted with ease by foreign bodies.D. This therapy has been used as part of the solution for degenerative diseases.10. What is the attitude of a commentator towards the existing studies about the study?A. Cautious.B. Approving.C. Doubtful.D. Uncertain.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. Effective Photosynthesis.B. Breakthroughs made by a group of Chinese scientists.C. Chinese scientists who copied Photosynthesis on animals.D. Chinese scientists copied Photosynthesis on animals.DGiven how valuable intelligence and automation are, we will continue to improve our technology if we are at all able to. At a certain point, we will build machines that are smarter than we are. Once we have machines that are smarter than we are, they will begin to improve themselves. The concern is really that we will build machines that are much more competent than we are. And the slightestdivergence between their goals and our own could destroy us.Just think about how we relate to ants. We don’t hate them. We don’t go out of our way to harm them. In fact, sometimes we take pains not to harm them. We step over them on the sidewalk. But whenever their presence seriously conflicts with one of our goals, we will kill them without hesitation. The concern is that we will one day build machines that, whether they’re conscious or not, could treat us with similar disregard.The bare fact is that we will continue to improve our intelligent machines. We have problems that we desperately need to solve. So we will do this, if we can. The train is already out of the station, and there’s no brake to pull. If we build machines that are more intelligent than we are, they will very likely develop in ways that we can’t imagine, and transcend us in ways that we can’t imagine.So imagine we hit upon a design of super intelligent AI that has no safety concerns. This machine would be the perfect labor-saving device. It can design the machine that can build then machine which can do any physical work, powered by sunlight, more or less for the cost of raw materials. So we’re talking about the end of human labor. We’re also talking about the end of most intellectual work. So what would apes like ourselves do in this circumstance?But the moment we admit that information processing is the source of intelligence, we have to admit that we are in the process of building some sort of god. Now would be a good time to make sure it’s a god we can live with.12. Why does the author mention ants in Paragraph 2?A. To compare intelligent machines to ants.B. To show improved machines will get away from us.C. To stress the presence of machines does conflict with our goals.D. To explain future intelligent machines could treat us without mercy13. What does the underlined word “transcend” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. DisableB. InspireC. DisappointD. Outpace14. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By making comparisons.B. By giving assumptions.C. By showing valid evidence.D. By analyzing statistics.15. Which of the following statements can best summarize the author’s viewpoint towards AI?A. Human beings will no doubt be destroyed by AI in the future.B. Super intelligent AI will put an end to human labor eventually.C. We should keep the development of AI within human’s control.D. Human beings should stop the development of super intelligent AI.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

A& Juliet Musical on BroadwayShe’s stronger than yesterday!Following a successful three-year run in London’s West End, the pop musical Juliet is now on Broadway with nine Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical.What is & Juliet about?It kicks off nearly where Romeo & Juliet left off: right before Juliet’s death. This isn’t a retelling of Shakespeare’s tragedy, though. It’s a whole new story in which Juliet decides losing Romeo doesn’t mean she should die. Instead, she goes on a journey of self-discovery to Paris. Accompanied by her friends, including some characters from the original play, like the nurse, as well as new characters, like her friends Francois and May, she goes to parties, makes new friends, and sees what the world has to offer beyond the walls of Verona.What songs are in & Juliet?You may listen to top 40 radio, but you’ve never heard your favorite songs like this.& Juliet has one new song, but the show mostly includes existing popular music. All 30 pop songs in & Juliet were written or co-written by Max Martin, who’s behind the hits of stars like Britney Spears, Katy Perry, and The Backstreet Boys. Anyone who grew up with, or just knows all the words to, hits from the 90s through today will relive their teenage dreams at this show.More information about & JulietSince having its world premiere (首映) in 2019 in London’s West End, & Juliet made its North American debut in Toronto and also its Australian premiere in Melbourne in February 2023.Pick your tickets1. What happens to Juliet in the musical?A. She follows Romeo’s footsteps.B. She starts a new chapter.C. She returns to Verona.D. She travels globally.2. What can we learn about the songs in the musical?A. They feature classical styles.B. They reflect teenage dreams.C. They are originally composed.D. They are created by a master.3. On which day are tickets still available?A. May 7.B. May 20.C. May 26.D. May 30.BJames Rainey reads trees like most people read signposts. The senior ecologist is using a small hand camera to identify a lichen (地衣) that is surrounding the base of wild pines (松树) in a deep narrow valley on the west coast of Scotland. He is looking for ecological clues of species associated with the ancient Caledonian Forest, which once covered most of the Highlands.Wild pines have been growing in Scotland continuously since the ice age, offering a globally unique ecosystem supporting rare wildlife. But now less than 2% of the original growth survives, with just 14 individual Caledonian pinewood sites now officially recognized. “To meet the demand for more wood, many wild pines in Highlands have been removed to make room for commercial forestry,”says Rainey. “This was often done in ancient woodlands and was really damaging to the remaining trees.”But restoration is still possible, especially since some old trees still survive along with the ancient woodland soil and seedbank—seeds stored in the soil, which can grow once the heavy shade of commercial conifers (针叶树) is removed.The ecological investigator uses three clues of evidence to discover where these pinewoods first stood. “First there’s the historical evidence, like old maps and texts. Then comes the landscape context: is the pine associated withplanting around a big house, or is the setting more natural? And finally I use the ecological evidence: wild pine usually grow alongside old birch trees, which indicates ecological continuity,” explains Rainey.Rainey has identified 23 pines in this area, all rooted in places least accessible. Their needles have been taken for genetic testing to confirm their family trees. “This would have been filled with trees but is now empty — these are the most critical areas in need of regeneration and we want the whole of the ancient woodlands to recover, not just the pines,” he said.4. Why are the wild pines considered to be so significant?A. They act as a signpost for the highland.B. They are an indicator of an ancient forest.C. They are an alternative to commercial forestry.D. They provide a shelter for certain species of lichen.5. What is essential for the restoration of ancient pinewoods?A. The existence of ancient seeds.B. The presence of commercial conifers.C. The awareness of the forest protection.D. The application of the advanced technology.6. How does Rainey determine the original location of the pinewoods?A. By locating big houses.B. By consulting historians.C. By referring to digital maps.D. By making the most of surroundings.7. What is the ultimate Rainey’s goal?A. To confirm the genes of the pine.B. To restore the old-growth woodlands.C. To explore the unfrequented places.D. To enrich the diversity of the wild pines.CA new data crowdsourcing platform, an initiative led by Dr. Ioanna Sitaridou at Cambridge University, who has been studying Romeyka for the last 16 years, aims to preserve the sound of Romeyka, an endangered millennia-old variety of Greek. Experts consider the language to be a linguistic (语言的) goldmine and a living bridge to the ancient world.Romeyka, which does not have a writing system and has been transmitted only in spoken form, is thought to have only a couple of thousand native speakers left in Turkey’s Trabzon region. Extensive contact with Turkish, the absence of support systems to facilitate intergenerational transmission, and migration have all taken their toll on Romeyka. A large majority of native speakers in Trabzon are over 65 years of age and fewer young people are learning the language.The newly launched Crowdsourcing Romeyka platform invites members of the public from anywhere in the world to upload audio recordings of Romeyka being spoken. “Speech crowdsourcing is a new tool which helps speakers build a database of spoken materials for their endangered languages, allows researchers to document these languages, and motivates speakers to appreciate their own linguistic heritage (遗产). At the same time, by preserving their language, it can help speakers achieve acknowledgement of their identity from people outside of their speech community,” said Dr. Sitaridou.The innovative tool is designed by a Harvard undergraduate in Computer Science, Mr Matthew Nazari, himself a heritage speaker of Romeyka. Together they hope that this new tool will pave the way for the production of language materials in a naturalistic learning environment away from the classroom, but based instead around everyday use and community.By engaging with local communities, particularly female speakers, Sitaridou has gathered the largest collection of audio and video data in existence and amounting to more than 29GB of sourced data, and has authored 21 peer-reviewed publications. A YouTube film about Sitaridou’s fieldwork has received 723,000 views to-date.8. Why is it necessary to preserve Romeyka?A. It is a variety of Greek.B. It has a unique writing system.C. It can generate commercial value.D. It can strengthen the bond with the past.9. Which can replace the underlined phrase “taken their toll on” in paragraph 2?A. Had a negative influence on.B. Taken full advantage of.C. Played a leading role in.D. Thrown new light on.10. What does paragraph 3 want to stress about the platform?A. Its prospect.B. Its originality.C. Its significance.D. Its limitation.11. Which can best describe Dr. Sitaridou’s work?A. Conventional.B. Eventful.C. Fruitful.D. Debatable.DHave you ever found yourself having intrusive (侵扰的) thoughts about something you haven’t finished? Maybe a half-done work project is keeping you up at night or the suspenseful plot of a novel you’re reading keeps circling your thoughts. There is a reason why it’s so hard to stop thinking about uncompleted and interrupted tasks, and psychologists called it the Zeigarnik effect (Z-effect).The Ziegarnik effect was first observed by a Russian psychologist named Bluma Zeigarnik. While sitting in a busy restaurant in Vienna, Ziegarnik noted that the waiters had better memories of unpaid orders. Once the bill was paid, however, the waiters had trouble remembering the exact details of the orders.Zeigarnik did a series of experiments, in which participants were asked to complete simple tasks such as putting together puzzles, or solving math problems. Half of the participants were interrupted partway through doing these tasks. After an hour-long wait, Zeigarnik asked the participants to describe what they had been working on. She discovered that the people who had been interrupted in their work were twice as likely to remember what they had been doing as the people who had been able to complete the tasks.We are living in an information explosion era, and we need mental tricks to help us remember a great deal of information. The Zeigarnik effect serves as a prime example. We hold on to information in the short term by constantly pulling it back into our awareness. By thinking of uncompleted tasks often, we’re more likely to keep remembering them until they get done.The Zeigarnik effect tells us a lot about how memory works and you can use the Zeigarnik effect to your advantage. If you are struggling to memorize something important, momentary interruptions might work to your advantage.

No previous experience necessary, our leaders provide the training we need to complete the work at hand.Activities Volunteers should be comfortable hiking up to two miles each day.

Challenge yourself on a hike up the Mist Trail, relax by the Merced River, or read a book in a peaceful meadow - this day is all yours. Day 7 Depart Yosemite for home.

Participating in a guided hike.D. Assisting at an orientation meeting.4、 B The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I'd say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students' perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile-and he left with one too. "These students gave me the confidence that I didn't need to feel bad about my age, " Valencia says. One day, I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class. Sure, I said. But he wouldn't get any credit. No problem he said. Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles-a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class. A lot of Valencia's classmates apparently knew he couldn't afford that semester's tuition but was still doing the homework. "Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,"says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master's degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college., so he had a long way to go. There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia's determination to get a four-year degree and then a master's. At his current pace, he'll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn't seem especially relevant. He's found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating. Valencia's grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts(成绩单). But I'm giving him an A-and in the most important ways, it counts.(1) What made Valencia different from his classmates?A. He was respectful to the teacher.B. He activated the class atmosphere.C. He was eager to learn despite his age.D. He often put forward different opinions.(2) According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes?A. He treasured the chance of learning.B. He wished to show his determination.C. He needed the credits to further his study.D. He desired to have an A on his transcripts.(3) Which of the following best describes Valencia?A. Modest and independent.B. Energetic and generous.C. Enthusiastic and motivated.D. Considerate and intelligent.(4) What can we learn from the passage?A. No pains, no gains.B. It is never too old to learn.C. Strike the iron while it is hot.D. Where there is life, there is hope.5、 C A heavy feeling on the chest. A throat that's leaden. An overwhelming feeling of isolation. Loneliness hurts-and, over time, it can put the body into a state that increases our risk of everything from heart attack and stroke to diabetes and cancer. So, evolutionarily speaking, why do we experience it? Stephanie Cacioppo, a neuroscientist at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, says that countless studies have helped researchers formulate a holistic(全面的)purpose for loneliness. "Our social structures evolved hand in hand with neural, hormonal and genetic mechanisms to support these social structures-like couples, tribes and communities-that help us survive and reproduce, " says Cacioppo. Because while loneliness may be painful to experience today, for our prehistoric ancestors that pain would have been a far better alternative to being caught alone with a predator on theprowl(潜行). Being social had its downsides even back then-competition for food, for example, or contribution to the spread of pathogens(病原). But scientists think we evolved to feel loneliness because it was more important to work with one another to accomplish tasks and to protect everyone. "The pain of loneliness prompted us to renew the social structure so we could survive and promote key features like trust. cooperation and collective action, explains Cacioppo. For years, researchers thought of loneliness as a disease. But now, they're realizing that it's more of a biological hunger signal that reminds us when it's time to reconnect with those around us to promote our short-term survival. If the outcomes of loneliness were entirely negative, it would no longer be a part of our DNA. Hunger and thirst protect our physical body while loneliness protects our social body." says Сacioppo. Loneliness impacts us all differently. Some of us may find certain situations lonely even while others don't. There's also a genetic component: Some of us are born to feel lonelier than others. Other factors play a role, too. The way we were treated as children can also inform how lonely we feel as adults. Lonely people spend most of their time deep within their own imaginations; they may conceptualize social encounters so much, in fact, that this part of their brain is in overdrive. That means even though they may be desperate to form connections, when they're around other people, they're actually less likely to be present.(1) As for loneliness, which would the author agree with?A. It can lead to serious mental problems in adulthood.B. It holds potential risks and disadvantages to individuals.C. It may reflect a person's strong desire to have social bonds.D. It is perceived in the same way as it is demonstrated by our DNA.(2) Scientists believe that loneliness is ___.A. beneficial but riskyB. painful but necessaryC. natural and powerfulD. personal and harmful(3) Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Humans evolved to be lonely.B. Loneliness is a curable disease.C. Loneliness is a personal feeling.D. Humans need to address loneliness.6、 D A video circulated on social media earlier this year, showing a tourist opening the door of a vehicle, reaching out an arm and attempting to stroke a passing lioness. The lioness shrugged him off, but it could have easily gone horribly wrong. Reckless behaviour around wildlife risks the safety of both people and animals. People risk being attacked, mauled (撕咬) and possibly killed, while animals can be harmed, removed or put down. irrespective of whether they were only defending themselves. Animal attacks can also cast a destination in a negative light, causing temporary closures or scaring off visitors. All just so someone could boast that they had stroked a lion or captured a moment on a camera phone. "Tourists are getting more and more reckless around wildlife and the source of the problem is social media." says wildlife photographer Anette Mosshachers. "People risking their lives or doing stupid things with wildlife are after "likes' and followers something to show off on social media, " says Mossbacher. "The greater the risk, the more "likes" they get. With some clients, it seems like a sickness or addiction." Yet social media is not entirely to blame. People have always taken risks for an experience. Foolish behavior and a tendency to get cockyaround dangerous animals must have been around since the dawn of humanity. A hunger for attention online might drive some of the current madness, but some individuals might be trying to recreate a piece of the action they have seen on television. Perhaps the adrenaline (肾上腺激素) rush when close to wild animals causes an evaporation of common sense. "There's a worrying lack of awareness that animals several times our size, weight, speed and strength can easily hurt us, "says wildlife photographer David Lloyd. "I don't think parks are doing enough to raise awareness. Tourists need to know how their presence can affect wildlife. A good example is cheetahs (猎豹) on vehicle rooftops. It may be a thrill for the bystanders, but theconsequences if a mother cheetah falls off would be severe. She would no longer be able to hunt, so her cubs could easily starve." "People aren't getting the education about why they need to stay away from wildlife, including avoiding diseases, keeping people secure and letting wildlife be wild, " says Philip Muruthi, vice president of species conservation and science for the African Wildlife Foundation. "We need to educate tourists through signs, pamphlets and frontline drivers. We should stick to guidelines, and there needs to be enforcement through the law."(1) What can we learn about reckless behaviour around wildlife?A. It harms tourists more than animals.B. It enables tourists to get intimate with animals.C. It may bring more profits to a tourist destination.D. It may get animals killed for defending themselves.(2) As for Mossbacher's opinion on what drives people's reckless behavior, the author is ___.A. sympatheticB. disapprovingC. doubtfulD. indifferent(3) What does the underlined word"cocky" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Selfish.B. Frightened.C. Arrogant.D. Shocked.(4) What can we conclude from the passage?A. Parks are expected to take more responsibilities for educating tourists.B. Raising tourists' awareness means stressing the danger of animals to them.C. More regulation of the tourist industry is the key to raising tourists' awareness.D. Penalties rather than education can stop people taking silly risks around wildlife.四、七选五7、 How does it feel when you solve your problem by yourself? Things may not always go as planned. 1 Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever resources you have at the time. 2 They can also be anything else that's useful, such as information, advice or your own experience. It also means trusting your instincts, the ability you're born with, rather than through training and being confident about your ability to face challenges. A resourceful person is not the one getting cross or panicking when something goes wrong. They're thinking about how to solve the problem.3 When we learn to solve problems for ourselves rather than immediately going to others for help, it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions. Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time.4 This can boost self-esteem, that is, how you feel about yourself. When you're facing a challenge, try to focus on the actual problem rather than how you feel about it. Think about where and when it happened and what the causes are. Next, think up as many solutions to the problem as you can. 5 Finally, review what has and hasn't worked, so you're equipped to deal with a situation next time. And remember, no one is expected to solve all problems by themselves. If you have a tricky problem that you're unable to solve, then ask a trusted adult for help.(1)A. You also learn what you're good at.B. Here is how you can be more resourceful.C. They can be practical things like pens and paper.D. Resourcefulness is a skill that's good for you in lots of ways.E. These may be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on.F. Weigh up what's good and bad about each one and choose the best.G. But being resourceful can help you stay calm and deal with tricky situations.(2)A. You also learn what you're good at.B. Here is how you can be more resourceful.C. They can be practical things like pens and paper.D. Resourcefulness is a skill that's good for you in lots of ways.E. These may be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on.F. Weigh up what's good and bad about each one and choose the best.G. But being resourceful can help you stay calm and deal with tricky situations.(3)A. You also learn what you're good at.B. Here is how you can be more resourceful.C. They can be practical things like pens and paper.D. Resourcefulness is a skill that's good for you in lots of ways.E. These may be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on.F. Weigh up what's good and bad about each one and choose the best.G.

They can be practical things like pens and paper.D. Resourcefulness is a skill that's good for you in lots of ways.E. These may be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on.F.

Here is how you can be more resourceful.C. They can be practical things like pens and paper.D. Resourcefulness is a skill that's good for you in lots of ways.E. These may be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on.F. Weigh up what's good and bad about each one and choose the best.G. But being resourceful can help you stay calm and deal with tricky situations.五、书面表达8、 For years, psychologists have known how to measure the intelligence of individuals, but only recently have they begun to investigate the issue of group intelligence. This notion stems from the observation that some groups seem to work fantastically across tasks, even tasks that are not very similar. Early investigations suggest that group intelligence is not the sum of the intelligence of the individuals in it. Sc what is the secret to their success? Researchers at Google have tackled this question. They collected thousands of data points on hundreds of groups and combed through them trying to find patterns. Are the members of effective groups friends outside of work? Do groups whose members have similar personalities or backgrounds work together best? They put forward many theories but found no patters to support them. In fact, who was in the group apparently did not seem to make a difference; instead, the difference between more and less effective groups seemed to lie in the interaction among the members. In effective groups, members spoke for a roughly equal amount of time-not at every meeting or interaction, but across the course of a project. Additionally, in effective groups, members face one another directly when they speak, using energetic and enthusiastic gestures. Moreover, side conversations between individual members during meetings, far from being a distraction, actually increased the group's productivity. The positive behaviors uncovered in the study occur exclusively in face-to-face interaction. One might argue that most of these findings are extremely obvious, and needless to say, good managers have probably always understood the principles. However, understanding group intelligence can help business and other organizations make the fundamental changes necessary to improve group performance. The reason is that our social and professional lives are not always structured in ways that facilitate the kind of interaction that apparently underlines effective group performance.(1) What is the finding of previous studies on group intelligence?(2) Why is it important for people to understand group intelligence?(3) Decide which part of the following statement is wrong. Underline it and explain why.Although side conversations distract members during meetings, they can help to boost the group's efficiency.(4) Apart from what is mentioned in the passage, what other way (s) can we use to improve group intelligence?

An elderly gentleman was standing by the side of a path, looking confused and lost. Just at that moment, a kind-hearted young girl approached him. She asked him gently what was wrong and listened patiently as he struggled to explain.Without hesitation, the girl took his hand and slowly guided him along the path, chatting with him to ease his anxiety. They walked together until they reached the place the old man was supposed to be. The old man smiled with thankfulness and relief.After helping the old man, the girl didn't just leave. She spent some more time with him, sharing some interesting stories and making him laugh. The old man's eyes sparkled with joy, and it was clear that this interaction had brightened his day. The girl's kindness seemed to have an effect, as other people in the park also noticed and were inspired by her actions.I continued to observe as the girl then decided to stay with the old man for a while longer. They sat on a bench together, and the girl began to tell him about her own life, her dreams, and her adventures. The old man listened attentively, nodding and smiling from time to time. It was a beautiful sight to behold, this unlikely pair sharing such a genuine and heartwarming connection.This encounter made me reflect on the importance of kindness in our society. In a world that can often seem cold and hurried, acts like the girl's are like the tower of light, showing us the way to a more empathetic(同情的)and caring existence. It also made me think about how we all have the potential to make a difference in someone else's life, no matter how small the act may be.Now, whenever I recall this scene, it warms my heart and reminds me to be more willing to offer a helping hand, to spread kindness wherever I go, and to believe in the goodness that lies within each of us.24.

It weaves an complicated and fascinating pattern within Chinese society.Tea growing in China is an art form in itself. The tea-growing areas, with their special climates and lands, produce teas of exceptional quality. From the misty mountains of Fujian to the green landscapes of Yunnan, different areas offer a rich variety of tea types.The process of making tea is careful and detailed. It involves exact measurements of water temperature, the right amount of tea leaves, and a certain steeping time to get the fullest flavor and smell. This care for details shows the Chinese people's search for excellence in all parts of life.Tea is not merely a beverage; it is a thing that helps social relations. It brings people together, whether in family get-togethers, friendly meetings, or business talks. The act of sharing a cup of tea is a sign of kindness and connection. And the many tea-houses all over the country offer places for people to relax, talk, and enjoy the peace that tea gives. Moreover, tea ceremonies are an important part of Chinese culture. These ceremonies are complex and formal, showing the grace and elegance of Chinese traditions. They involve exact movements and a deep respect for the tea and the process.In addition to its social and cultural importance, tea in China is also known for its possible health benefits. It is thought to have anti-oxidant(抗氧化的) features and is linked to various good effects on physical health.As China keeps moving forward and modernizing, its tea culture is still strongly fixed, a proof of its historical and cultural importance. It keeps attracting both the Chinese people and those from around the world, inviting them to explore and enjoy the beauty and depth of this great cultural phenomenon.28. What is the main reason for the rich variety of tea types in China?A. Different processing methods.B. Different people's preferences.C. Different regions' climates and lands.D. Different times of harvest.29. What does the word "beverages" mean in the passage?A. A type of food that is sweet and usually served as dessert.B. A tool or equipment used for cooking.C. A kind of medicine that helps to cure diseases.D. Something that people drink, such as water, juice, or coffee.30. What is the main feature of tea ceremonies in China?A. Simple and casual.B. Complicated and formal.C. Fast-paced and efficient.D. Loud and lively.31. Why is tea culture still firmly rooted in China?A. Because of its long history.B. Because it is profitable.C. Because it is easy to maintain.D. Because the government promotes it.DChina successfully launched the Chang'e-6 spacecraft on Friday. A Long March-5 rocket lifted it off from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan. This was a huge success and a remarkable achievement for China's space exploration program. The launch not only shows China's advanced technological abilities but also makes scientists and space lovers around the world excited.Collecting samples from the far side of the moon is a new thing for humanity. We have very little knowledge about this mysterious side. If the Chang'e-6 mission is successful, it will give scientists important and direct facts to know more about the far side's environment, geological features, and material make-up. This will be an important step forward in our exploration of the moon and the universe as a whole.The Chang'e-6 spacecraft has an orbiter, a lander, an ascender(上升器), and a returner. When it reaches the moon, it will land carefully on the far side. Within 48 hours after landing, a robot arm will carefully collect rocks and soil from the lunar surface. Also, a drill will go into the ground to take samples from deeper layers. At the same time, a series of complex scientific tests and analyses will be done to get valuable data.The far side of the moon is very different from the side we can see. The Apollo basin in the South Pole-Aitken Basin is chosen as the landing and sampling place for the Chang'e-6 mission. This area is thought to have precious clues about the moon's formation and development, giving possible ideas about the early history of our celestial(天体)neighbor.This mission has many technical difficulties and needs the latest technologies. It also gets help from international cooperation, showing the spirit of working together in the global search for space exploration. The exploration of the far side of the moon may provide valuable scientific data and open up new possibilities for future space activities, such as setting up long-term lunar bases and using lunar resources.The success of the Chang'e-6 mission has the possibility to make more international cooperation in space exploration. It shows China's strong wish to add to the growth of global knowledge about the universe and encourages other countries to work together to find out the secrets of the universe.32. What is the main purpose of the Chang'e-6 mission?A. To build a base on the far side of the moon.B. To study how the moon moves around.C. To collect and bring back samples from the far side of the moon.D. To look for water on the moon.33. Which of the following is true about the far side of the moon?A. It's different from the side we can see.B. It's the same as the side we can see.C. We know a lot about it.D. It has no rocks or soil.34. What might the exploration of the far side of the moon lead to?A. No change in the future.B. New chances for space activities.C. Fewer friends for China in space.D. No new technologies.35. What could be a suitable title for this passage?A. "The Mystery of the Moon"B. "The Far Side of the Moon: Unknown Territory"C. "Space Exploration and Challenges"D. "China's Chang'e-6 Mission: Unveiling the Secrets of the Moon's Far Side"第二节(共5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分12.5 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。

ASome books to look forward to in2024The first few months of2024are piled with exciting and interesting reads.If you're looking to get a jump ahead on the holds from your local library,here are just a few books we're looking forward to.James by Percival EverettCelebrated author Percival Everett gives us Huckleberry Finn from Jim's point of view.It's far from a straight re-telling,though.Instead,Everett(but off his2001book Erasure being adapted into the film American Fiction)uses the beats of the original story to give us a send up of language and race.(Pub.March.19)The Familiar by Leigh BardugoThis standalone fantasy was inspired by the best-selling author's own family history.It takes place during the Spanish Golden Age and follows a servant,hiding the fact that she can perform miracles.(Pub.Apr.9)Private Equity by Carrie SunA memoir(回忆录)about the daughter of Chinese immigrants who ended up becoming an assistant to a billionaire hedge fund founder.It's an examination of the hustle and tiring lifestyle that spreads American work culture,and the costs of extreme wealth.(Pub.Feh.13)Legacy by UchéBlackstockUchéBlackstock has had a long career in medicine as a doctor and as a professor of emergency medicine.Her account follows her growing up wanting nothing more than to be doctor,and discovering all parts of the systemic

Hoyin,a16-year-old student at Hong Kong International School,has devoted the past seven years to writing fiction.He has already published two novels,and a third is on the way.Sau's journey as a writer began in the4th grade when he started a school“passion project”,leading him to create his first novel Pym.This story follows Luke Connors,an ordinary boy who grew into a brave fighter against evil.Sau's fiction evolved with his own personal growth.At the age of13,he created Pyro2.a story when Connors faces challenges that mirror Sau's struggles with math.“I tried to overcome these challenges on my own at first hut finally found that I need to seek the aid of others,”he said.In the novel,Connors learns that in moments of great challenges.seeking help from those around him is a test ament(证明)to growth.Currently,Sun is working on Pyro3,a project enriched by his global travels and diverse cultural experiences.“I treat writing as a way to record my life and express myself.It also helps me to think deeply about various issues,”he said.Sau spends two to three hours on weekends on his writing and around two hour d daily during breaks.To practice his skills,Sau also joined a literary club at school,exchanging insights into his fiction with his peers.“In arts and literature class,our teacher also nurtures(培养)our creativity by teaching creative poetry.”Sau added.For instance,inspired by the English language poem Show With Buddha he learned in class,he wrote Playing Saxophone With the Statue of Liberty in d imagined the statue dropped her torch or a moment,playing jour while thinking about whether the truths of American liberty are really held or not.Sau also shares his essays and poetry on his personal website and takes part in writing competitions.This summer,he won the Harbinger Prize awarded by Harbingers'Magazine,a weekly journal in the US.Next year,Sau will start university and is resolute in his decision to major in literature.“For me,literature is a utopia(乌托邦)where I can not only express myself but also enjoy the beauty of language,its purity and its lasting power.”he said.4.What drove Sou Hoyin'm take up writing?A.A special school program.B.An unforgettable journey.C.His teacher's encouragement.D.His childhood's experience.5.What can we learn from paragraph2?A.Sau is unwilling to learn Math at school.B.Sau's works are

against EvilC.A Teen Writer's Dream:Sau Hoyin's Quest for FameD.A Popular Blogger's Rise:Luke Connor's Journey to SuccessCWe breathe,eat and drink tiny particles of plastic.But are these in the body harmless.dangerous or somewhere in between?A small study published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine raises more questions than it answers about how these hits might affect the heart.The study involved257people who had surgery to clear blocked blood vessels in their ing two methods,researchers found evidence of plastics-mostly invisible nanoplastics—in150patients and no evidence of plastics in107patients.They followed these people for three years.During that time,30or20%of those with plastics had a heart attack,stroke or died from any cause,compared to8or about8%of those with no evidence of plastics.The researchers also found more evidence of inflammation(炎症)in the people with the plastic bits in their blood vessels.Inflammation is the body's response to injury and is thought to raise the risk of heart attacks and stroke.“I hope that the alarming message will raise the consciousness of citizens,especially governments,to finally become aware of the importance of the health of our planet.”said Dr.Raffaele Marfella of the University of Campania in Italy.Nevertheless,the study was very small and looked only at people with narrowed arteries(动脉),who were already at risk for heart attack and stroke.The patients with the plastics had more heart disease,diabetes and high cholesterol(胆固醇)than the patients without plastics.They were more likely to be men and more likely to be smokers.The researchers tried to adjust for these risk factors during their statistical analysis,but they may have missed important differences between the groups that could account for the results.This kind of study cannot prove that the plastics caused their problems.“More research is needed and it is the first report suggesting a connection between microplastics and nanoplastics with disease in humans,”said Dr.Philip Landrigan of Boston College.Other scientists have found plastic bits in the lungs,liver,blood,and breast milk,“It does not prove cause and effect,but it suggests cause and effect,”he said,“And it needs urgently to be either confirmed or disproven(反驳)by other studies done by other investigators in other populations.”8.What did the study find about the plastics in blood?A.They are visible and detectable.B.They may raise the risk of serious injuries.C.They need to be removed by surgery.D.They may account for a higher rate of heart attacks.9.What did Raffaele Marfella suggest?A.Immediate action should be taken by government.B.Alarming message should be spread widely and quickly.C.The awareness of the harm of plastic bits should be enhanced.D.Joint efforts must be made to keep healthy physically and mentally.10.What does paragraph5mainly talk about regarding the study?A.Limitations.B.Advantages.C.Causes.D.Effects.11.What did Dr.Philip Landrigan think of the study?A.Helpful but unrealistic.B.Pioneering but impractical.C.Distinctive but unnecessary.D.Suggestive but inconclusive.DImagine a bus y restaurant:dishes clattering,music playing and people talking loudly.It's a wonder that anyone in that environment can focus enough.In an earlier study.researchers established that people can separately control how much they focus(by enhancing relevant information)and how much they filter(by tuning out distraction).Recently,Neuroscientist Ritz compared the process to muscle coordination(协调)in his study:“In the same way that we bring together more than50muscles to perform a physical task like using chopsticks,our study found we can coordinate different forms of attention in order to perform brain activities.”To explore this,Ritz administered a cognitive task to participants while measuring their brain activity. Participants saw a mass of green and purple dots moving left and right.The tasks involved distinguishing between the movement and colors of the dots.For example,participants in one exercise had to select which color was in the majority for the rapidly moving dots with purple and green percentages close to50/50.“You can regard the intraparietal sulcus(脑顶内沟)as a radio dial with two knobs.one for focusing and one for filtering,”Ritz said,“When the anterior cingulate cortex(前扣带皮层)recognizes that,for instance,motion is making the task more difficult,it directs the intraparietal sulcus to adjust the filtering knob to reduce the sensitivity to motion and might also direct the intraparetal sulcus to adjust the focusing knob to increase the sensitivity to color. Now the relevant brain regions are less sensitive to motion and more sensitive to the color,so the participant can make better selection.Nowadays,much is still being explored about attention coordination.A partnership with scientists at Brown University is investigating focus and-filter strategies in patients with treatment-resistant depression;one study co-led by Rita and Brown Ph,D.students examines the impact of financial rewards and penalties(处罚)on focus -and-filter strategies.“We all know there is still a considerable journey ahead.”Ritz said.12.What is the main focus of the new study?A.The process behind brain activities in humans.B.The relationship between mental state and attention.C.The mechanism of focusing and filtering coordination.D.The impart of noisy environment on humans attention.13.What role does the dots'movement play in the task?A.A distractor for participants.B.A tracking target for the test.C.A main factor to evaluate the task.D.A warning for participants to focus.14.What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph4refer to?A.The focusing knob.B.The intraparietal sulcus.C.The filtering knob.D.The anterior cingulate cortes.15.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.There are some challenges of the attention research.B.Ongoing research projects are based on these findings.C.Focus-and-filter strategies can solve depression problems.D.Motivation ways to drive attention are well applied in treatment.第二节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文。

2024年淄博市高三一模英语高考模拟试卷试题(含答案详解)

淄博市2023-2024学年度高三模拟考试英语2024年3月第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳答案。

AGood evening everyone!I hope to pick your brain on potential advertising strategies and gaining new customers for my boyfriend’s car repair shop.He has been in business for3years and is fairly successful,but we are trying to increase the number of chargeable hours.While he was doing repair work,I took over all the administrative duties.The first thing on my to-do list was to get him on social media.I was floored that he had no social media presence,which is not surprising considering he is old school.Now,he has a business Facebook page and an Instagram account,although it may not be worth much yet.We are working on a weekly“feature”for both platforms in order to create some interest.He doesn’t want to do coupons(优惠券)or discounts or anything like that,and I understand why.His labor rate is already significantly lower than anyone else in the area,and his overall costs are lower as well.This is where I am a bit lost——how can we effectively attract more customers without a hook?My guess would be focusing on the value,but I’m not sure how well that will work out.We are considering sending postcards as well since he already cooperates with a few local shops who send their large jobs to him and such.However,I am unsure about Facebook marketing, but definitely open.1.What was scheduled first to promote business?A.Working out a weekly feature.B.Increasing chargeable hours. C.Establishing his presence online.D.Visiting his old school.2.How might they attract new clients?A.By raising labor rates.B.By offering discounts and coupons.C.By cutting overall costs.D.By highlighting the value of services. 3.What is the purpose of the text?A.To offer information.B.To seek advice.C.To show advantages.D.To find cooperation.BThere was no way to escape when they spotted a polar bear.Verena Mohaupt and a handful of colleagues were trapped on a floating sea ice while the bear gazed at them,smelling the air,a dangerous sign.“That’s when everything kicks in,”Mohaupt says,“and you focus on what’s important.”As a colleague fired into the sky as a warning shot,Mohaupt radioed their research ship a few kilometres away,whose helicopter luckily arrived quickly and Mohaupt didn’t have to use the gun that was hanging over her shoulder.Keeping a lookout for bears was a regular duty for Mohaupt,the logistics coordinator(后勤协调员)for a year-long mission known as the MOSAiC——the largest Arctic research exploration in history.The project,consisting of roughly300scientists,led by scientist MarkusRex,has collected massive measurements that will help better forecast how warming will transform the globe in the coming decades.For months,the exploration operated in constant darkness while polar bears wandered nearby,storms rocked the ship and the ice shifted and cracked.Then,when the Sun returned,the ice began to melt,creating a life-threatening risk and a nightmare for researchers who needed to keep their instruments from sinking.Tasked with the security of the mission,Mohaupt designed an extensive training course for the participants in which they learnt how to avoid the danger,like storm-rocking and ice-cracking. They jumped into a Norwegian channel in their survival suits and climbed out of the freezing waters using only their ice picks.They learnt how to escape from a crashed helicopter.And they discussed the psychological effects of being far from home.Mohaupt brought knitting equipment, yoga mats and a violin for their men tal health——although having been prepared for the isolation.Mohaupt didn’t expect a career in polar regions,but says she has always been drawn to the north.“She was there to make sure that we were protected,”says Markus Rex,“Mohaupt iscertainly the champion in the field.”4.Why does the author mention a polar bear in the beginning?A.To show the threat of bears.B.To tell an interesting story.C.To introduce Mohaupt’s job.D.To describe the polar scenery.5.What can we know from paragraph3?A.The working conditions were tough.B.Mohaupt helped to collect massive data. C.The exploration went on in total darkness.D.Mohaupt’s duty was to protect polar bears. 6.Which of the following best describes Mohaupt?A.Ambitious and brave.B.Passionate and dependent. C.Considerate and modest.D.Professional and responsible.7.What is a suitable title for the text?A.A Potential Danger in the Exploration.B.A Guardian Angel of Polar Researchers. C.A Great Scientific Exploration in History.D.A Great Female Scientist in Polar Research.CChances are you’ve heard the phrase“like a moth to a flame”——and probably seen it in action at a nighttime fire or barbecue,too.It turns out,however,this age-old saying may not be quite right.Rather than being attracted to light,moths’tendency to fly toward brightness is a behavioral response to help them determine which way is up,suggests a new study published in the journal Nature Communications.To avoid falling down to the ground,insects need to know which way is up,says study coauthor Yash Sondhi,a National Geographic Explorer.Without systems to maintain spatial(空间的)orientation,the brightness of the sky,even at night,has always been a strong indicator of “up”——until artificial lights came along.If they mess that up,they start plummeting.Sondhi and a team of researchers set up experiments to investigate how different lights influence flight behavior.First,the researchers suspended a light bulb from a rope between two trees——resembling a typical downward-pointing light——and in a separate test,they turned the light upward by mounting it on a tripod(三脚架).In both cases,insects leaned their winged backs to the bulb.But when the light was pointed up,the insects often bumped to the ground.What if the light is spread over a wide area?The researchers stretched a large white sheetacross the tree and projected a UV light on it.If the insects were truly“attracted”to the light,they should fly up toward it.Instead,the insects cruised(巡航)straight through this illuminated corridor,flying how they would during the day.The team then placed the sheet on the ground and shined the light on it,which is when something truly odd happened:All these moths flying over it turned upside down and crashed out of the sky.Directionality of light is a huge factor in the pattern we have seen,not just brightness or color.“Artificial lights may cause a mismatch between the insect’s sense of which way is up and true direction of gravity,which spells trouble for insects population.”says Sondhi.8.What can be inferred about“like a moth to a flame”in the new study?A.A moth is generally attracted by a flame.B.Artificial lights are valuable for a moth. C.Brightness indicates up for a moth.D.A moth has a sense of direction. 9.What does the underlined word“plummeting”in paragraph2mean?A.Crashing.B.Speeding.C.Freezing.D.Suspending. 10.What lights influence insects most in the experiments?A.UV lights on the tree.B.Upward-pointing lights. C.Downward-pointing lights.D.Lights of different colors.11.What is Sondhi’s attitude toward artificial lights?A.Concerned.B.Dismissive.C.Doubtful.D.Neutral.DWould you rather watch a new movie,or an old favorite?Would you rather try a dish you’ve never had at a restaurant,or stick with something you know you’ll like?Researchers studying the “mere exposure effect”have found that we often prefer the familiar over the novel.People didn’t need to experience a reward or positive outcome while around the object—simply being exposed to the object would be enough to make people like it.To test this, social psychologist Robert Zajonc had participants read words in a foreign language out loud and varied how often participants read each word(up to25repetitions).Next,after reading the words, participants were asked to guess at the meaning of each word by filling out a rating scale (indicating how positive or negative they thought the meaning of the word was).He found that participants liked words that they had said more often,while words thatparticipants hadn’t read at all were rated more negatively,and words that had been read25times were rated highest.Just the me re exposure to the word was enough to make participant s like it more.One place where the me re exposure effect occurs is in advertising.It explains why seeing the same advertisement multiple times could be more convincing than just seeing it once.Of course, there’s a caution here:the me re exposure effect doesn’t happen for things we initially dislike. Researchers have found that our liking for a variety of things(including pictures,sounds,foods, and smells)can be increased with repeated exposure,suggesting that the mere exposure effect isn’t limited to just one of our senses.Additionally,researchers have found that the me re exposure effect occurs in studies with human research participants as well as in studies with non-human animals.Another key finding from this analysis was that participants eventually started to like object s less after many repeated exposures.In other words,a smaller number of repeated exposures will make you like something more——but,if the repeated exposures continue,you could eventually get tired of it.12.What is the key factor in Robert Zajonc’s test?A.Frequency.B.Preference.C.Originality.D.Achievement. 13.Which of the following is an example of mere-exposure effect?A.We favor an advertisement at the first sight.B.A student joined in the club because of love.C.We are more convinced of what we met before.D.A student read as many English words as possible.14.What can we learn about“mere exposure effect”according to paragraph4?A.It is the result of advertising.B.It has nothing to do with animals.C.It is true of what we dislike at first.D.It can be applied to multiple senses. 15.What is the text mainly about?A.More love because of more exposures.B.The study on mere exposure effect. C.Better results from the earlier exposures.D.The application of mere exposure effect.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But it was at a London school in 2014 that an accident happened. He had 11 operations in total and it was two years before he could walk again.Although John improved physically, he couldn't recover from what had happened. John was diagnosed with post -traumatic (创伤后) stress disorder (PTSD), but none of the treatment seemed to help. Then last year, at a hospital, a doctor told him a puppy (小狗) could manage stress and might help with his anxiety.In May 2019, they adopted a black puppy called Gibson. He says, “ I'd never thought of it as a comfort. After just a few weeks, I could feel myself improving. If I was feeling anxious, he would jump up on the sofa and sit on my chest and I found that really relaxing and comforting. Wherever I go, he will follow me and it's really helpful to my anxiety. We go out and play Frisbee (飞盘) and I now look forward to going out for walks while I would always make excuses to stay in the house before. ”His wife Anna has also noticed a difference. She says, “ Gibson is an incredible dog that adores John. He is a fantastic co mpanion. It has given him a focus and a lease on life. ”John is now. taking part in Generation Pup, a groundbreaking study that tracks puppies through adulthood to learn how their early experiences and environment affect their development. John says, “I r eally enjoy tracking this through the study, watching his personality begin to grow and support me on my road back to mental health, which he is playing a big part in. ”“Gibson has done so much for me in a short space of time. I want to do something for him.”24. What can we learn about John Lewis after the accident?A. He couldn't bear the pain of the operations.B. He soon stood up and returned to his post.C. He suffered a lot from mental problems.D. He still focused on the life in military schools.25. What do John’s words in paragraph 3 show?A. How to raise a puppy.B. How naughty Gibson was.C. How to get on with a puppy. .D. How Gibson comforted him.26. What does the underlined part “a lease on life” in paragraph 4 mean?A. More wisdom.B. Better life.C. Great wealth.D. Lifelong ambition.27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. John is grateful to Gibson.B. John makes full use of Gibson.C. John has recovered from PTSD. D. John has researched a lot on puppies.CEcology is a complicated thing. c Given the facts that elephant damage often kills trees and bush fires often kill trees, a combination of the two will make things worse. However, as research shows just published in Biotropica, by Benjamin Wigley of Nelson Mandela University, if a tree has already been damaged, fire can actually help to make things better.Since 1954,the Kruger National Park has been the site of experiments. Dr Wigley carried out these experiments by looking at trees in three different zones. In one of these zones, the vegetation (植被) was burned every year. In the second it was burned every other year. The third zone, by contrast, was actively protected from fire. To keep things consistent, he only looked at the fate of a single tree species, the marula (玛鲁拉树), whose bark is often eaten by elephants. In July 2016, he and his colleagues identified 20 marulas in every zone and used a hammer and a knife to remove a 5 cm circular section of bark from each of them.To their surprise, damaged trees in the annual burnt zone regrew 98% of their lost bark during the two years of the study. Those living in the second burnt zone regrew 92% of it. But those in the zone where fires were banned regrew only 72%.The researchers also found something else around the trees' wounds: ants. Ten of the 20 trees in the fire-banned zone developed ant colonies in their wounds.' T he ants were known to damage tissue healing. By contrast, only five trees in the second zone and three in the annual zone developed ants' nests in their wounds.It looks, therefore, as if bush fires are burning trees'。
