AI recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical achievements. A newspaper reporter interviewed him why he was able to be so much more creative than theaverage person. What set him so far apart from othersHe responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he dropped the slippery bottle, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor—a real sea of milk!When his mother came into the kitchen，instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up？”Indeed, the boy did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. How would you like to do that We could use a sponge(海绵)，a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer？” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said，“You know，what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it. ”The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with bothhands, he could make it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes.21.When the mother found the kitchen floor covered with milk, she ________.A. gave the boy a lecture instead of shouting at himB. praised the boy instead of punishing himC. felt satisfied with the boy's trying to help himselfD. calmed down the boy and helped him find a way to clean the floor22.The child's experience resulted in the following BUT ________.A. offering the boy a chance to grasp the bottleB. benefiting the boy all his lifeC. helping the boy be more creativeD. making the boy realize the mistake is of value23. According to the passage, the way the scientist's mother used is ________.A. instructiveB. strictC. formalD. strangeBToday's buzz words, which include global warming and zero emissions, are causing everyday people (not just celebrities) to look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Based on this trend, entire districts,known as eco-communities, are being designed with green initiatives in mind. Dockside Green in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada is one of these communities. If everything goes according to plan, Dockside Green will be a self-sufficient community. The plans describe a variety of environmental features, some of which have never been seen.Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make. They ensure proper ventilation (通风), and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Interior and exterior building materials, such as paints and wood, are natural and non-toxic (无毒的). Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it is durable and does not require pesticides to grow.Energy efficiency is one of the top priorities in eco-communities, such as Dockside Green. Not only do energy-efficient appliances and light fixtures reduce the environmental impact of heating and hot water, they also save residents and business owners money. Dockside Green claims that home owners will use 55% less energy than average residents in Canada. Studies show that people use approximately 20% less energy when they are billed for exactly what they use. In addition, water is treated at Dockside Green and reused on site for flushing toilets. Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account. Dockside Green plans on reusing 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers forall of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduce emissions. Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that will use renewable biomass instead of fossil fuels.The first two stages of development at Dockside Green have already been completed, and many other plans are in the works. Other smaller eco-villages can be found around the world. Residents of these communities aim to reduce their carbon footprint and be models for sustainable living.24. The purpose of the article is to __________.A. introduce eco-communitiesB. describe Dockside Green’s plansC. advertise Dockside GreenD. illustrate sustainable living25. According to the article, what percentage of energy saving will Dockside Green residents saveA. 100%.B. 90%.C. 55%.D. 20%.26. Bamboo is an environmentally friendly choice for builders because it __________.A. provides good air circulationB. keeps pests out of housesC. is toxic substances freeD. can be used for a long time27. What will Dockside Green try to do in the futureA. To find fossil fuel alternatives.B. To develop an interior transportation system.C. To use most of construction waste again.D. To cooperate with other eco-villages.CAs you move out of your teens and into your 20s and 30s, your musical tastes start to solidify and you likely quit keeping up with popular music. Now, research has found the average age at which your music library is unlikely to change: 33.The study's author reached this conclusion by analyzing data on U. S. Spotify users and comparing it to artist popularity data from music intelligence company The Echo Nest.To determine the age at which we stop seeking out new tunes, the author gathered self-reported age data from Spotify and looked at users' " Taste Profiles," which tracks how many times listeners have streamed individual artists. These artists were then matched to their popularity rank on The Echo Nest.The average teen listens almost only to music among the Billboard, the 200 highest-ranking albums in the country, but this music represents a smaller part of their streaming as they age. In their teens, they listen to a lot of the same music, over and over again. Frank T. McAndrew, a professor of psychology at Knox College, explains that's the "mere exposure effect" at work, and it basically means, the more we're exposed to something, the more we like it.There are many reasons why a person may stop streaming the currenttop musical hits, and the author looked into one by identifying Spotify listeners with large amounts of children's music and nursery rhymes in their libraries. In other words, when users may have become parents. But the study concludes with some good news for parents: “If you're getting older and can't find yourself staying as relevant as you usedto, have nofear — just wait for your kidsto becometeenagers, and you'll get exposed to all thepopularmusic of the day once again!”28. What happens after teens grow olderA. They quit listening to music.B. Their interest in music fades.C. They change their music libraries.D. Their musical tastes become stable.29. What is the way of the researchA. Interviews.B. Analyzing data.C. Observation.D. Tracking popularity.30. How do teens develop their musical tastesA. They listen to what they like repeatedly.B. They act like their favorite popular stars.C. They experience different styles of music.D. They like high-ranking music worldwide.31. What's the good news for parents in the last paragraphA. Parents will regain their faith in music.B. Parents will influence their teens in music.C. Parents will hear their favorite music again.D. Parents will enjoy the music for teens again.DThey still bite, but new research shows lab-grown mosquitoes are fighting dengue fever — a dangerous disease that they normally would spread. Dengue infections appear to be dropping fast in communities in Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil and Australia that are filled with the specially grown mosquitoes.Researchers first injected （注射）mosquito eggs with Wolbachia bacteria that's common in insects and harmless to people in a lab. Infected females then pass the bacteria on through their eggs. Releasing enough Wolbachia carriers, both the females that bite and the males that don't, allows mating（交配）to spread the bacteria through a local mosquito population.Rather than using chemicals to wipe out pests, “this is really about transforming the mosquito," said Cameron Simmons of the nonprofit World Mosquito Program, which is conducting the research.The first success came from Australia. Mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia were released in parts of North Queensland starting in 2011, and gradually spread through the local mosquito population. Dengue is spread when a mosquito bites someone who is infected, and then bites another person, but somehow Wolbachia blocks that — and local spread has nearly disappeared in those North Queensland Communities,Simmons said.The studies are continuing in other countries. But the findings, presented at a meeting of the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, suggest it's possible to turn at least some mosquitoes from a public health threat into annoying biters.The work marks “exciting progress," said Michigan State University professor Zhiyong Xi, who wasn't involved with the project but has long studied how Wolbachia can turn mosquitoes against themselves.More research is needed, specialists cautioned. "The results are pretty exciting — strong levels of reductions — but there clearly are going to be things to be learned from the areas where the reductions are not as great," said Penn State University professor Elizabeth McGraw.32. What can we learn about the lab-grown mosquitoesA. They lose the ability to bite people.B. They become harmful to human beings.C. They carry dangerous Wolbachia bacteria.D. They spread Wolbachia bacteria by mating.33. What does the underlined word "that" refer to in Paragraph 4A. The bite from a mosquito.B. The local community.C. The spread of Dengue.D. The infected person.34. What do the last two paragraphs suggestA. This research proves a complete success.B. Scientists agree on this research.C. There is still room for improvement.D. Mosquitoes turn themselves against harmful ones.35. What is the best title for the textA. Bacteria- infected Mosquitoes Bite Deadly Dengue.B. Transform Mosquitoes into Annoying BitersC. Fight against Mosquitoes with WolbachiaD. Harmless Mosquitoes Are on Their Way第二节(共5小题:每小题2分，满分10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。

I'm away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, e.g. being on my own, talking with friendly people. These are some of the things I like about college.First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents aren't around to say, "No, you'renot going out tonight." or "Did you finish your homework?" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a current or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!Friendly people, that's another thing I like about college. On my first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, "Are you a new student?" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said: "Oh, just follow us; that's where we're going." Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick: New York is a very good place, too!31.The text is perhaps written by ____a____.A.a new studentB. a new teacherC. a foreign reporterD.a foreign visitor32. What does "gives me a sense of responsibility" in the first sentence of Paragraph 2mean? It means ___d_____.A. I shall be responsible for my parentsB. I shall be responsible for my teacherC. I shall be responsible for the schoolD. I shall be responsible for myself33.

It gives off powerful rays of light in the form of radiant energy. This energy travels to the Earth at a speed of approximately 300,000 kilometers per second. This means that sunlight takes 8.33 minutes to get to the Earth.The temperature on the surface of the Sun is about 5,520°C, and it is much hotter inside. Scientists now believe that the heat of the Sun comes from natural atomic energy. In this process,hydrogen is believed to be changed to helium (氦) with an enormous amount of energy given off. The mass (matter) is changed to energy. This energy is in the form of heat, light, and other forms of radiation.36.

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?dA.The Sun --- the Largest Star in the Sky.B.The Sun --- The Brightest Star in the Sky.C.The Sun --- Ball of Hot Gasses.D.The Sun --- Great Source of Energy.Passage 3In 1920, after some thirty-nine years of problems with disease, high costs, and politics, the Panama Canal was officially opened, finally linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by allowing ships to pass through the fifty-mile canal zone instead of traveling some seven thousand miles around Cape Horn. It takes a ship approximately 8 hours to complete the trip through the canal and costs an average of fifteen thousand dollars, one-tenth of what it would cost an average ship to round the Horn. More than fifteen thousand ships pass through its locks (船闸) each year.The French initiated the project but sold their rights to the United States. The latter will control it until the end of the twentieth century when Panama takes over its duties.41. Who currently controls the Panama Canal?cA. FranceB.

However, the fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor 61 that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage; for there are very important differences 62 the teacher’s work and the actor’s work. The actor has to speak words which he ahs learned 63 ; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part; 64 his movements and the way in which he uses his voice are usually fixed 65 . What he has to do is to make all these carefully learned words and actions seem natural on the stage.The good teacher works in 66 different way. His audience takes an active part in his play, they ask and answer questions, they 67 orders, and if they do not understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act 68 the need of his audience which is his class. He cannot keep his part in mind, but must 69 it as he goes along.I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to play a part in a stage-play because their brains would not keep discipline; they could not keep strictly to 70 .c61.

ACritics’ choice: The year’s best novels. . .1 The Love Songs of W. E. B. Du Bois by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers （Harper, $29）The novel from a celebrated poet, this 800-page work is many things at once: a moving coming- of-age story, an examination of race, and an exploration of American history. Out of curiosity about the secrets in her family, Ailey uncovers stories that trace back to her Native American, Scottish, and enslaved African-American ancestors.2 Matrix by Lauren Groff （Knopf, $28）If Matrix were written by anyone else, it would be a hard sell. But Lauren Groff has reimagined the life of 12th-century poet Marie de France so that we can’t help but stay with this royal castoff as she’s sent away, at 17, to run a poor church, which she eventually changes into a shelter for women and a challenge to the male-dominated world.3 Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro （Knopf, $28）A robot that has been programmed to be a sickly teenager’s ＂Artificial Friend, ＂Klara serves as our eyes on a troubling near future in which technological progress is pushing moral boundaries. But her outsider view allows the author of Remains of the Day, now a Nobel Prize winner, to explore what makes people irreplaceable.4 Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr （Scribner, $30）Doerr's first novel since 2014 covers several hundred years-from 1453 Constantinople to a 22nd-century ceship escaping from Earth. The book runs 640 pages, but without a wasted word. As engaging as a great bedtime story and as readable as Harry Potter, it's above all a celebration of the human spirit and its power to dream impossible dreams.21. Which book is written by a poet?A. The Love Songs of W. E.B. Du Bois. B. Matrix.C. Klara and the Sun.D. Cloud Cuckoo Land.22. What is the central theme explored in Klara and the Sun?A. Historical events.B. Pursuit of dreams.C. Human irreplaceability.D. Teenagers' friendship.23. What do the four novels have in common?A. They all cover hundreds of years.B. They are all chosen by critics.C. They are all the author's first novel.D. The main characters are all humans.BThe world of underwater slumber is unlike what we see on the surface. For mammals （哺乳动物）, a good night's sleep sends an animal into a state of unconsciousness （无知觉） during hours of restorative sleeping that helps heal the body and solidify memories firmly in the mind. For fish, however, sleep isn't such a well-defined process. Instead, many fish species have taken to spending short periods in a state of reduced activity or rest while keeping their eyes open to scan the water for potential threats. During these periods of reduced activity, a fish's bodily functions slow down and its watchfulness drops.The breadth of animals in the ocean that exhibit this type of reduced activity is widereaching. Among the hundreds of thousands of creatures in the sea, some merely ride along with the current,such as jellyfish. Others find rocky bedrooms for the night, while those such as stingrays bury themselves in the sand to rest. However, it must be really hard to get a good night's sleep when you breathe air but live in water. This is something that the world's underwater mammals have to deal with.To prevent themselves from drowning （溺死） in their sleep, underwater mammals such as dolphins and manatees have developed the ability to "turn off' one side of their brain to rest, known as unihemispheric sleep. While one side is fast asleep, the other keeps all the animal's vital functions running, such as breathing. Manatees, for example, love to sleep, spending up to 12 hours a day in a deep slumber. However, as air-breathing animals, manatees need to surface every 20 minutes or so for oxygen. To achieve this, the half of the brain that's still awake sends the sleeping manatee to the surface to get some air.24. What does the underlined word "slumber" in paragraph 1 mean?A. Rest.B. Sleep.C. Danger.D. Activity.25. Why is it hard to define sleep for fish?A. Because fish remain partially awake.B. Because fish need short resting times.C. Because fish possess no consciousness.D. Because fish pretend not to be sleeping.26. What is a challenge faced by underwater mammals?A. Hiding in sand.B. Riding the current.C. Finding spots to rest.D. Breathing while sleeping.27. How do manatees ensure their oxygen supply during sleep?A. By sleeping less.B. By adapting to the sea.C. By surfacing periodically.D. By controlling their breath.CProfessor Lum seems to be under the spell of ChatGPT, but let's not get carried away with the AI chatbot craze. While it does have some benefits, his arguments are like a leaky boat in a stormy sea- full of holes.According to Professor Lum, ChatGPT offers students a wealth of information. Sure, it's like having a walking encyclopedia （百科全书）, but learning is not about copying an answer. It's aboutthe journey of discovery. ChatGPT, armed with its vast database, denies students the opportunity to explore and learn through their own efforts. It's like awarding a participation medal for a race that hasn't even begun!He also claims that ChatGPT improves communication skills. Seriously? Chatting with an AI is not the same as having a real conversation. How can we expect students to handle the complexities of the real world if all they know is how to talk to a chatbot? Let's not turn them into socially awkward bots themselves.Oh, and let's not forget about critical thinking. Professor Lum thinks ChatGPT challenges students to think critically. But come on, folks! It's merely a machine! It's not going to teach them how to question assumptions, analyze evidence, or come up with innovative solutions. We need human interaction and lively debates for that.Lastly, Professor Lum believes ChatGPT can provide support and guidance. Again, seriously? Are we going to replace human emotions with lines of code （代码）？ ChatGPT might offer some comforting words, but it can't replace the warmth and understanding that can only be found in human interaction. Let us not abandon our students, leaving them to feel more alone and disconnected than ever before.Professor Lum's opinion regarding ChatGPT warns us against too much reliance on technology. Rather than prioritizing ChatGPT, the focus should be on developing critical thinking, promoting genuine human interaction, and emphasizing the core aspects of education.28. What is compared to a participation medal in paragraph 2?A. A walking encyclopedia.B. A journey to explore.C. A vast database.D. An answer.29. What can be inferred about ChatGPT from paragraphs 3～5?A. It is not good at socializing.B. It is a skilled critical thinker.C. It offers nothing helpful to humans.D. It forms a warm bond with humans.30. What is the author's attitude towards ChatGPT?A. Totally negative.B. Fully supportive.C. Highly skeptical.D. Quite indifferent.31. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To criticize a viewpoint.B. To question an authority.C. To clarify two arguments.D. To compare two chatbots.DIf there was an app on your phone that claimed to improve your memory, would you be willing to try it? It's hard to resist the idea of having a better memory. After all, our memories are delicate and can be affected by various factors such as diseases, injuries, mental health conditions, and aging.In response to this perceived need, the brain training industry has grown rapidly, offering a wide range of accessible and affordable mental exercises through smartphone and tablet apps. Many researchers have found evidence suggesting that well-designed exercises can improve mental abilities and even lead to better scores on IQ tests. They compare the brain to muscles, suggesting that targeted repetition of memory exercises can strengthen and condition our memory processes, similar to how athletes engage in strength and conditioning by repeatedly exercising specific muscle groups.In contrast to everyday activities like reading a detailed article or solving a complex puzzle, memory training apps are specifically designed to provide a more challenging workout for the brain. These apps typically involve tasks that require. tracking a large number of objects while being distracted by a secondary task, such as mental calculations or exploring a game's landscape. If this brain training proves effective, it could be beneficial for individuals with brain-related disabilities or those recovering from conditions like cancer.Critics, though, argue that while the concept is appealing, the overall evidence fails to demonstrate significant improvement in core brain processes. Additionally, despite the claims made by many apps and brain training companies, scientists have yet to identify the key factors that make an intervention truly effective or determine the best approaches to address the diverse needs of individuals seeking help.While the question is still open to debate, there is evidence suggesting that short-term working memory training can benefit high-functioning individuals, such as college students. However, it's important to note that brain training, like diet and exercise, is unlikely to have identical effects on every individual.32. In what way is the brain similar to muscles according to many researchers?A. In testing results.B. In work processes.C. In bodily functions.D. In training methods.33. What is the main feature of the typical tasks in memory training apps?A. Detailed.B. Effective.C. Demanding.D. Complicated.34. What do critics think memory training apps lack?A. Legal claims.B. Proven effects.C. Tailored services.D. Appealing concepts.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Can our memory be improved?B. Does brain training actually work?C. What have scientists found about memory?D. What does the brain training industry bring?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。

(40 points)Text 1Over the last decade, demand for the most common cosmetic surgery procedures, like breast enlargements and nose jobs, has increased by more than 400 percent. According to Dr. Dai Davies, of the Plastic Surgery Partnership in Hammersmith, the majority of cosmetic surgery patients are not chasing physical perfection. Rather, they are driven to fantastic lengths to improve their appearance by a desire to look normal. "What we all crave is to look normal, and normal is what is prescribed by the advertising media and other external pressures. They give us look like that.In America, the debate is no longer about whether surgery is normal; rather, it centers on what age people should be before going under the knife. New York surgeon Dr. Gerard Imber recommends "maintenance" work for people in their thirties. "The idea of waiting until one needs a heroic transformation is silly," he says. "By then, you've wasted 20 great years of your life and allowed things to get out of hand." Dr. Imber draws the line at operating on people who are under 18, however, "It seems that someone we don't consider old enough to order a drink shouldn't be considering plastic surgery."In the UK cosmetic surgery has long been seen as the exclusive domain of the very rich and famous. But the proportionate cost of treatment has fallen substantially, bringing all but the most advanced laser technology within the reach of most people. Dr. Davies, who claims to "cater for the average person", agrees. He says: "I treat a few of the rich and famous and an awful lot of secretaries. Of course, ￡3, 000 for an operation is a lot of money. But it is also an investment for life which costs about half the price of a good family holiday."Dr. Davies suspects that the increasing sophistication of the fat injecting and removal techniques that allow patients to be treated with a local anaesthetic in an afternoon has also helped promote the popularity of cosmetic surgery. Yet, as one woman who recently paid ￡2,500for liposuction to remove fat from her thighs admitted, the slope to becoming a cosmetic surgery Veteran is a deceptively gentle one. "I had my legs done because they'd been bugging me for years. But going into the clinic was so low key and effective it whetted my appetite. Now I don't think there's any operation that I would rule out having if I could afford it."21. According to the text, the reason for cosmetic surgery is to[A] be physically healthy.[B] look more normal.[C] satisfy appetite.[D] be accepted by media.22. According to the third paragraph, Dr. Davies implies that[A] cosmetic surgery, though costly, is worth having.[B] cosmetic surgery is too expensive.[C] cosmetic surgery is necessary even for the average person.[D] cosmetic surgery is mainly for the rich and famous.23. The statement "draws the line at operating on people" (para. 2) is closest in meaning to[A] removing wrinkles from the face.[B] helping people make up.[C] enjoying operating.[D] refusing to operate.24. It can be inferred from the text that[A] it is wise to have cosmetic surgery under 18.[B] cosmetic surgery is now much easier.[C] people tend to abuse cosmetic surgery.[D] the earlier people have cosmetic surgery, the better they will be.25. The text is mainly about[A] the advantage of having cosmetic surgery.[B] what kind of people should have cosmetic surgery.[C] the reason why cosmetic surgery is so popular.[D] the disadvantage of having cosmetic surgery.Text 2In nature as in culture, diversity can be a difficult concept. Understanding it is one thing, accepting it another, especially when diversity means not only acknowledging a pre-existing mixture of difference--the very ampleness of the world--but also accommodating an adjustment to the existing state of things. A case in point is the reintroduction of gray wolves in Yellowstone national Park. Thirty-three wolves were released in 1995, and their number has now reached 97. Population expansion is one measure of the wolf program's success, but a better one is the wolves' impact on the natural diversity of the park.Typically, a pack of the Yellowstone wolves kills a big deer very few days. But over the remains the wolves abandon, a wonderful new diversity has emerged. Since their arrival, wolves have killed many of the park's coyotes (丛林郎), a smaller kind of wolf. The reduction in coyotes has caused an increase in rodents such as mice, rabbits and squirrels, which also benefits a wide range of predators. Even the coyotes that live at the margins of wolf country have prospered, thanks to the leftovers the wolves leave behind. So do grizzly bears, which feed on wolf-kilted deer before beginning hibernation or winter sleep.What has interested scientists is the swiftness, the dynamism, of this shift in diversity. There has been, however, no matching dynamism in the opinion of humans who oppose the wolf reintroduction. That was made plain by a Federal district judge's recent order to "remove" the wolves, the result or a legal process that is the offspring of inflexibility. Several livestock groups, including the Wyoming Farm Bureau, had filed a suit that urged, in slightly cleverer terms, the old proposition, no wolves, no problems. Several environmental groups had flied a separate lawsuit--unconnected to the Yellowstone wolves--protesting the dropping of legal protection forwolves that were recolonizing Idaho. The two suits were unfortunately merged.Though Judge William Downes stayed his own decision, pending appeal, his judgment is a sad encouragement to the mistaken defensiveness of most ranchers or cattle farmers. It is also a misunderstanding of the purpose of the environmentalists' suit. His decision needs to be swiftly and decisively overturned on appeal. It is no exaggeration to say that since the return of the wolves, Yellowstone has witnessed an economy of diversity from which human culture--including the culture of ranching---can directly profit, if only it chooses to do so.26. Since the arrival of 33 wolves in the Yellowstone National Park,[A] a dynamic biological chain has started to function[B] animals kept in the park have had enough food[C] some animals that are not wanted have been vanishing[D] the attraction of the park is greatly increased27. The author thinks it unfortunate that the judge should[A] make efforts to accept suits with regard to old issues.[B] make use of legal means to protect his own interests.[C] mix up two irrelevant suits and make wolves the victims.[D] support the protest against canceling legal protections for wolves.28. The author believes that Judge William Downes was obviously on the side of[A] the Yellowstone Park[B] livestock groups[C] environmental groups[D] federal laws29. Commenting on the Yellowstone Park wolf program, the author[A] urges the district judge to reverse his recent order.[B] criticizes the attitude of environmental groups.[C] calls on the people to protect wolves everywhere[D] speaks for the interests of most cattle farmers.30. According to the author, the protection of wolves will[A] bring about an economic boom to the surrounding farms and ranches[B] cause bigger losses of livestock to the Park's neighboring farms[C] lead to a number of controversies in the society[D] prove to be beneficial to all parties concernedText 3Vinton Cerf, known as the father of the Internet, said on Wednesday that the Web was outgrowing the planet Earth and the time had come to take the information superhighway to outer space."The Internet is growing quickly, and we still have a lot of work to do to cover the planet," Cerf told the first day of the annual conference of the Internet Society in Geneva where more than 1,500 cyberspace fans have gathered to seek answers to questions about the tangled web of the Internet.Cerf believed that it would soon be possible to send real-time science data on the Internet from a space mission orbiting another planet such as Mars. "There is now an effort under way to design and build an interplanetary Internet. The space research community is coming closer and closer andmerging. We think that we will see interplanetary Internet networks that look very much like the ones we use today. We will need interplanetary gateways and there will be protocols to transmit data between these gateways," Cerf said.Francois Fluckiger, a scientist attending the conference from the European Particle Physics Laboratory near Geneva, was not entirely convinced, saying: "We need dreams like this. But I don't know any Martian whom I'd like to communicate with through the Internet."Cerf has been working with NASA's Pasadena Jet Propulsion Laboratory--the people behind the recent Mars expedition--to design what he calls an "interplanetary Internet protocol." He believes that astronauts will want to use the Internet, although special problems remain with interference and delay."This is quite real. The effort is becoming extraordinarily concrete over the next few months because the next Mars mission is in planning stages now," Cerf told the conference."If we use domain names like Earth or Mars...jet propulsion laboratory people would be coming together with people from the Internet community." He added."The idea is to take the interplanetary Internet design and make it a part of the infrastructure of the Mars mission."He later told a news conference that designing this system now would prepare mankind for future technological advances. "The whole idea is to create an architecture so the design woks anywhere. I don't know where we're going to have to put it but my guess is that we'll be going out there some time," Cerf said."If you think 100 years from now, it is entirely possible that what will be purely research 50 years from now will become commercial 100 years from now. The Internet was the same-----it started as pure research but now it is commercialized."31. Which of the following is the main point of the text?[A] The development of the internet.[B] The possibility of space research.[C] Universal information superhighway.[D] The technological advances of Mars mission.32. From the text, we learn that Vinton Cerf is[A] seeking answers to questions about the internet web.[B] working on interplanetary internet with collaborations of NASA.[C] trying to commercialize the interplanetary internet.[D] exploring the possibility of establishing internet network on Mars.33. We know from the text that Mars mission is[A] one of NASA's internet projects:[B] an expedition to Mars.[C] the infrastructure of the interplanetary internet.[D] to create an architecture on Mars..34. According to Cerf, the purpose to design interplanetary internet is to[A] send real-time science data.[B] communicate with astronauts.[C] lay foundation for future technological advances.[D] commercialize it.35. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that[A] the dream to build interplanetary internet can be fulfilled in the future.[B] interplanetary internet will commercialized in 100 years.[C] the research of internet took 50 years.[D] it will take a long time to build interplanetary internet.Text 4Material culture refers to the touchable, material "things"--Physical objects that can be seen, held, felt, used--that a culture produces. Examining a culture's tools and technology can tell us about the group's history and way of life. Similarly, research into the material culture of music can help us to understand the music-culture. The most vivid body of "thing" in it, of course, are musical instruments. We cannot hear for ourselves the actual sound of any musical performance before the 1870s when the phonograph was invented, so we rely on instruments for important information about music-cultures in the remote past and their development. Here we have two kinds of evidence: instruments well preserved and instruments pictured in art. Through the study of instruments, as well as paintings, written documents, and so on, we can explore the movement of music from the Near East to China over a thousand years ago, or we can outline the spread of Near Eastern influence to Europe that resulted in the development of most of the instruments on the symphony orchestra.Sheet music or printed music, too, is material culture. Scholars once defined folk music-cultures as those in which people learn and sing music by ear rather than from print, but research shows mutual influence among oral and written sources during the past few centuries in Europe, Britain and America. Printed versions limit variety because they tend to standardize any song, yet they stimulate people to create new and different songs. Besides, the ability to read music notation has a far-reaching effect on musicians and, when it becomes widespread, on the music-culture as a whole.Music is deep-rooted in the cultural background that fosters it. We now pay more and more attention to traditional or ethnic features in folk music and are willing to preserve the fold music as we do with many traditional cultural heritage. Musicians all over the world are busy with recording classic music in their country for the sake of their unique culture. As always, people's aspiration will always focus on their individuality rather than universal features that are shared by all cultures alike.One more important part of music's material culture should be singled out: the influence of the electronic media--radio, record player, tape recorder, and television, with the future promising talking and singing computers and other developments. This is all part of the "information-revolution", a twentieth-century phenomenon as important as the industrial revolution in the nineteenth. These electronic media are not just limited to modem nations; they have affected music cultures all over the globe.36. Which of the following does not belong to material culture?[A] Instruments.[B] Music.[C] Paintings. [D]Sheet music.37. The word "phonograph" (line 6, Paragraph 1) most probably means[A] record player.[BI radio.[C] musical technique.[D] music culture.38. The main idea of the first paragraph is[A] the importance of cultural tools and technology.[B] the cultural influence of the development of civilization.[C] the focus of the study of the material culture of music.[D] the significance of the research into the musical instruments.39. Which of the following is not an advantage of printed music?[A] Reading of music notation has a great impact on musicians.[B] People may draw inspiration from it.[C] the music culture will be influenced by it in the end.[D] Songs tend to be standardized by it.40. From the third paragraph, we may infer that[A] traditional cultural heritage is worthy of preservation.[B] the universal features shared by all cultures aren't worthy of notice.[C]musicians pay more attention to the preservation of traditional music[D] the more developed a culture, the more valuable the music it has fostered.Part BDirections: In the following article, some sentences have been removed.

Other animals do not have complex, syntactical languages. Nor do most of them appear to enjoy the same level of consciousness that people do. And many philosophers believe humans are theonly species which understands that others have their own personal thoughts. That understanding is known in the trade as having a "theory of mind", and it is considered the gateway to such cherished human qualities as empathy and deception. 41)In the Proceedings of the Royal Society, Bernd Heinrich and Thomas Bugnyar of the University of Vermont, in Burlington, describe a series of experiments they have carried out on ravens. They wanted to see how these birds, which are known to be (at least by avian standards) both clever and sociable, would respond to human gaze.42)To test whether ravens could follow gaze, Dr Heinrich and Dr Bugnyar used six six-month-old hand-reared ravens, and one four-year-old. The birds were sat, one at a time, on a perch on one side of a room divided by a barrier. An experimenter sat about a metre in front of the barrier. The experimenter moved his head and eyes in a particular direction and gazed for 30 seconds before looking away. Sometimes he gazed up, sometimes to the part of the room where the bird sat, and sometimes to the part of the room hidden behind the barrier. The experiment was videotaped.43) . In the latter case, the curious birds either jumped down from the perch and walked around the barrier to have a look or leapt on top of it and peeredover. There was never anything there, but they were determined to see for themselves.A suggestive result, but not, perhaps, a conclusive one. 44)In this case, the observation was pleasantly unexpected. Dr Bugnyar was conducting an experiment designed to see what ravens learn from each other while foraging. While doing so he noticed strange interactions between two males, Hugin, a subordinate bird, and Munin, a dominant one.45) . The subordinate male was far better at this task than the dominant. However, he never managed to gulp down more than a few pieces of the reward before the dominant raven, Munin, was hustling him on his way. Clearly (and not unexpectedly) ravens are able to learn about food sources from one another. They are also able to bully each other to gain access to that food.But then something unexpected happened. Hugin, the subordinate, tried a new strategy. As soon as Munin bullied him, he headed over to a set of empty containers, prised the lids off them enthusiastically, and pretended to eat. Munin followed, whereupon Hugin returned to the loaded containers and ate his fill.[A] Response to gaze is reckoned to be a good measure of the development of theory of mind inhuman children. By about 18 months of age most children are able to follow the gaze of another person, and infer things about the gazer from it. Failure to develop this trick is an early symptom of autism, a syndrome whose main underlying feature is an inability to understand that other people have minds, too.[B] However, the second study, carried out by Dr Bugnyar when he was working at the Universityof Austria, and published last month in Animal Cognition, suggests that ravens may have mastered the art of deception too.[C] As it happened, Munin was no dummy either. He soon grew wise to the tactic, and would not beled astray. He even stooped to trying to find the food rewards on his own! This made Hugin furious. "He got very angry", says Dr Bugnyar, "and started throwing things around." Perhaps ravens have something else in common with people--a hatred of being found out.[D] Biologists have learned to treat such assertions with caution. In particular, they have foundevidence of theories of mind in a range of mammals, from gorillas to goats. But two recent studies suggest that even mammalian studies may be looking at the question too narrowly. Birds, it seems, can have theories of mind, too.[E] Dr Heinrich and Dr Bugnyar found that all the birds were able to follow the gaze of theexperimenters, even beyond the barrier.[F] At first Dr Bugnyar could not believe what he was seeing. He was anxious about sharing hisobservation, for fear that no one would believe him. But Hugin, he is convinced, was clearly misleading Munin.[G] The task was to work out which colour-coded film containers held some bits of cheese, thenprise the containers open and eat the contents.Part CDirections: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points).....As a neutral nation, Switzerland escaped much of the horrors of World War II. (46) While Europe was being ravaged by Hitler's Nazi war machine, the Swiss went about their business living as normal a life as they could amid what would be remembered as the worst war in history.But neutrality in a world war is a myth. Although guns and tanks may not roll across the hills of a "neutral nation", other aspects of war are conducted there just the same. During World War II, Switzerland was used as a base by many Allied spies. (47) International Jewish organizations operated out of Swiss cities, and many Swiss citizens and companies worked for the allies, providing them with information and materials.But just as Switzerland helped support the Allied war effort, so did the Nazis benefit from their association with their "neutral" neighbor. Recently classified documents from US archives reveal that the Nazis stored millions of dollars' worth of gold in Swiss banks. One particular document, given to Allied negotiators after the war, estimates that almost $ 400 million worth of gold--nearly two billion dollars at today's prices--was sent to Switzerland between 1939 and 1945.(48) For decades, Jewish groups have been trying to force Swiss bankers to open their files to public scrutiny, but with limited success. (49) Just over 30 years ago, the Swiss government did take some action by instructing the country's banks to return any unasserted accounts belonging to foreigners who had been "prosecuted for racial, religious or political reasons". The banks responded by releasing about $ 5 million of which about $ 2 million was given to deserving Jewish causes.(50) But for investigators, these paltry sums of money did not come close to accounting for the millions they believe the Nazis had deposited in Swiss banks. Jewish groups continued to demand that proper searching investigations be carried out. Section III WritingPart A51. Directions: Suppose you are in charge of a library in a city.

2024届宁夏吴忠市高三高考模拟联考试卷（一）英语试题一、阅读理解The Most Beautiful Train Stations in the WorldTokyo Station Marunouchi BuildingThe wide-open entrance square on the Marunouchi side of Tokyo’s main train station would look more at home in Amsterdam or Paris. Kingo Tatsuno’s classical European design took over six years to complete, finally opening in 1914. The statin has received several facelifts since the Second World War, most recently in 2012. It’s one of the biggest and busiest train stations in the world.Beijing West Railway StationThe idea of building this station in the capital of China was put forward as early as 1959 but didn’t come to reality until 1996. It was the largest station in Asia at the time, although Shanghai’s Hongqiao Station has since surpassed it. The station itself has a unique architectural (建筑的) style, with the main body of the building having quite a functional Russian look, but the rooftop is decorated with three amazing Chinese pagodas.Duoliang Station, TaiwanThis is the smallest station on this lit by a distance. In fact we’re not really choosing Duoliang for architectural reasons. This station is all about location, location, location. Surrounded by hi top greenery on one side and amazing Pacific Ocean scenery on the other, it’s one of the most scenic spots in all of Taiwan. This isn’t even a working station anymore, but the platforms have been adapted into viewing spots, extremely popular with local train spotters.Stazione Milano Centrale in MilanMilan’s central train station looks pretty much exactly as you’d imagine it. There are a mix of styles at play here, from Art Nouveau to Art Deco, but the entire building is filled with a classic sense of Roman monumentality. The outer look is guarded by two statues, while its insides are equally impressive, as grand stonewalls curve (弯曲) into the station’s glass ceilings.1．What do Tokyo Station and Beijing West Railway Station have in common?A．Both have European features.B．Both were built in the early 1990s.C．Both have been rebuilt several times.D．Both are the largest domestic stations.2．What do train spotters favor most about Duoliang Station?A．Its distance.B．Its small size.C．Its surrounding scenery.D．Its architectural style.3．What makes Stazione Milano Centrale impressive?A．Roman buildings B．Its various styles.C．Statues on the walls D．The curving ceilings.When I was small, my mother and I would walk to our local library in Franklin Square. As we didn’t always have access to a reliable car, walking hand in hand was the most convenient way to get anywhere. It was at story time for children that both my mother and I made lasting friendships.Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Gold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Children’s Library. My 18-month-old son, Colin, and I find ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week, meeting and making friends. Well, that is what many people don’t understand — a library is more than books; it’s a community.Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume novels. But it was also the place where I got my first e-mail address in 1997. At the library, friends and I learned how to research colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet. The library was the place where we sometimes giggled (咯咯地笑) too loudly, and where the librarians knew us by name. Their knowing our names wasn’t a bad thing. When I came home from my first term at Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the librarian at the Franklin Square library offered me my first teaching job.I now teach reading at Nassau Community College. My students are often amazed that they can check out books via their smartphones and virtually visit a variety of Long Island libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library, makes their homework easier by helping them find resources. Even though they can’t always easily visit their local libraries, the library is always with them.4．Why does the author consider herself lucky today?A．She has become her mother’s best friend.B．She has access to a reliable car now.C．She lives close to libraries.D．She can meet friends at the library.5．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Socializing in a library.B．Reading books in a library.C．Visiting a library with a family member.D．Building parent-child friendship in a library.6．What did the author do at the library according to the passage?A．She told stories to her mother.B．She learned how to go online.C．She got her current teaching job.D．She initially read Judy Blume novels. 7．What is the author’s attitude to her students’ way of visiting libraries?A．Cautious.B．Ambiguous.C．Disapproving.D．Favourable.With the global population predicted to hit close to 10 billion by 2050, and forecasts that agricultural production in some regions will need to nearly double to keep pace, food security is increasingly making headlines. In the UK, it has become a big talking point recently too.The country produces only about 60% per cent of the food it eats down from almost three-quarters in the late 1980s. Some people argued that a move back to self-sufficiency (自给自足) would help to improve the farming industry and the nation’s health. Sounds great-but is it likely to be achieved?According to report on UK food production from the University of Leeds, UK, 85 per cent of the country’s total land area is associated with meat and dairy production. That provides 80 per cent of what is consumed, so even covering the whole country in livestock (牲畜) farms wouldn’t cover all the meat and dairy needs.To become much more self-sufficient, the UK would need to dramatically reduce its consumption of animal foods, and probably also farm more intensively-meaning fewer greenfields, and more factory-style production.But switching to a mainly plant-based diet wouldn’t help. There is a good reason why the UK is dominated (主宰) by animal farming: most of its land doesn’t have the right soil or climate to grow crops on a commercial basis. Just 25 per cent of the country’s land is suitable for crop-growing; most of which is already occupied by fields with growing crops. Even if we change all the suitable land to fields of fruit and veg — which would involve taking out all the nature reserves and removing thousands of people from their homes — we would achieve only a 30 per cent increase in crop production.8．Some people argue that food self-sufficiency in UK would ________.A．be blocked by its population growthB．become the focus of governmentC．contribute to the nation’s well-beingD．be a challenge to its farming industry9．The report by the university of Leeds shows that in the UK________.A．farmland has been seriously polluted in the past few yearsB．most of the land is used for meat and dairy productionC．the land connected with meat and dairy production is increasingD．85% of land is enough to cover all the meat and dairy needs.10．We can infer from the passage that crop-growing in the UK is limited due to ________.A．its farming technology B．its dietary traditionC．its commercial interests D．its natural conditions11．What might the author continue talking about?A．The possibility of British self-sufficiency in fruit and vegetables.B．The advantages of practicing self-sufficiency in the UK.C．The benefits of having a balanced diet in the UK.D．The change of crop-growing fields to livestock farms in the UK.Young children who have experienced compassionate (有同情心的) love and empathy (认同感) from their mothers may be more willing to turn thoughts into action by being generous to others, a University of California, Davis’ study suggests.In lab studies, children tested at ages 4 and 6 showed more willingness to give up the tokens (代金券) they had earned to fictional children in need when two conditions were present—if they showed bodily changes when given the opportunity to share and had experienced positive parenting that modeled such kindness. The study initially included 74 preschool-age children and their mothers. They were invited back two years later, resulting in 54 mother-child pairs whose behaviors and reactions were analyzed when the children were 6.“At both ages, children with better physiological regulation and with mothers who expressed stronger compassionate love were likely to donate more of their earnings,” said Paul Hastings, UC Davis professor of psychology. “Compassionate mothers likely develop emotionally close relationships with their children while also providing an early example of satisfying the needs of others,” researchers said in the study, published in November in Frontiers in Psychology” Emotion Science.In each lab exercise, after attaching a monitor to record children’s heart-rate activity, the examiner told the children they would be earning tokens for a variety of activities, and that the tokens could be turned in for a prize. The tokens were put into a box, and each child eventually earned 20 prize tokens. Then before the session ended, children were told they could donate all or part of their tokens to other children.Taken together, the findings showed that children’s generosity is supported by the combination of their socialization experiences—their mothers’ compassionate love—and their physiological regulation, and that these work like “internal and external supports for the ability to act prosocially that build on each other”.In addition to observing the children’s propensity (习性) to donate their game earnings, Hastings suggested that “being in a calmer state after sharing could reinforce (加强) the generous behavior that produced that good feeling.”12．How do young children loved by their mother tend to become in later years?A．Considerate.B．Emotional.C．Generous.D．Optimistic.13．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The process of the research.B．The result of the experiment.C．The reactions of the children.D．The importance of Mom’s love.14．According to Hastings, what factor could strengthen children’s good behaviors?A．Their moms love them deeply.B．They donate the tokens easily.C．They behave physiologically.D．They are calmer after sharing.15．What is probably the best title of this passage?A．What Contributes to Generosity?B．The More You Give, the Calmer You Will BeC．Do You Prefer to Receive or Give?D．More Giving, Less ReceivingHobbies to try in 2024: release your passionDo you want to try out new and exciting hobbies in 2024?
