Gardening changed how I see myself as a disabled woman. When I started gardening in 2018, I didn’t know anything about plants, let alone how to grow things we can eat.

Finally, I was so proud to eat the tomatoes I grew and even shared some with neighbors. They tasted like summertime.Gardening has 7 how I see other parts of my life. As a disabled woman, I fear being seen as a 8 and struggle to ask for the things I need. Gardening helped me normalize the fact that I have needs. I don’t think my plant is a heavy load because it needs more nutrition. I don’t 9 it for getting insects and not being able to fight against them.

Back in 2008, I was teaching Concepts of Fitness in a high school. At the end of one class, I chatted with David Gale, a senior high jumper, about how to improve his 1 and how motivation played an important role in one's achievement. He, out of the blue, asked me what would happen if he broke the school record.Not 2 of his passion and determination, I paused for a moment, but then promised that I would paint his name on the wall of our classroom. He was very excited and suggested that I go purchase the paint.Nothing more was mentioned about the 3 until two weeks later, the young warrior ran into the classroom with a huge smile on his face. "I did it! I broke the record!" he shouted as I was still gathering information to 4 what I had promised him. I joined in with the high-fives and fist bumps 5 him.The next day, it was done! G-A-L-E. Huge blue letters with white edges, the school colors. I could see his excitement even surpassed the success itself. Actually, his coach said the wall was part of the 6 to break the record.What happened next was totally amazing. Many students, even from other classes, saw the name on the wall and 7 how they, too, could be considered for the wall. With the enormous 8 , I had to add more names to the wall, and more than 100 names appeared there in the following 10 years.Many folks admitted they would not have 9 what they did if the wall hadn't been part of the reward. More importantly, all those who stepped far beyond their comfort zone helped set the 10 higher.1. A. health B. performance C. talent D. knowledge2. A. proud B. afraid C. certain D. fond3.

He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn’t sit back.He started with cleanups along the river, something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors. In 2019, Cash, together with a Canadian conservationist, Ella Galaski-Rossen, started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids. Despite living in different countries, they managed to create educational videos on their YouTube channel. “We hope to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the U. S. and Canada,” Cash said. “We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean,” Cash said.Cash was selected as one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. He also earned the title of National Honoree, where he received a$5,000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his.,choice, and he became the first person to win the Youth Conservationist Award two years in a row from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation.“I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean. Because if you are connected to the ocean-if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it,” he said. “This is my fun, and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.”4. Which can replace the underlined words “sit back” in paragraph 2?A. Fall asleep.B. Lose heart.C. Turn a blind eye.D. Lend a hand.5. What is the purpose of starting the Cleanup Kids?A. To recycle waste plastics.B. To make instructive videos.C. To spread marine knowledge.D. To appeal for ocean protection.6. Which of the following best describes Cash Daniels?A. Sympathetic and devoted.B. Initiative and talented.C. Ambitious and humorous.D. Determined and modest.7. What does Cash Daniels story imply?A. Passion fuels dreams.B. Great minds think alike.C. Helping others is of great fun.D. Actions speak louder than words.CTo reduce the carbon emissions from passenger jets and long-haul trucks, a vast volume of soy-based renewable fuel will be needed. To produce it, American farmers could ruin existing cornfields to clear space, plant millions of additional acres of soybeans and shut down all soybean exports. Researchers at startups and biotech giants alike have found ways to create a new kind of soybeans through genetic recombination that generates more oil.One of the startups, ZeaKal Inc., funded in part by seed giant Corteva Inc., plans to introduce its first batch of high-oil seeds for commercial planting in 2024. Scientists have tricked the plant into sustaining photosynthesis for longer with genetic recombination, ultimately producing more oil as well as more protein.Companies are racing to build more capacity to process soy, a critical component for expanding green fuelsupplies. Tax credits make companies in the transportation industry switch to fuel with lower carbon emission.S&P Global sees domestic demand for renewable biofuel reaching 4 billion gallons in 2030, up from around 2.7 billion this year. It projects that the use of sustainable aviation fuel will total 1.7 billion gallons annually by the end of the decade, compared with just 182 million gallons a year now.Despite the bullish predictions, the soy-based transportation fuel market is still a drop in the bucket for the fuel industry. And even if the new breed of high-oil seeds takes off, widespread adoption will take time. Farmers may be reluctant to become early adopters of a technology that hasn’t yet proven its benefits, especially if the oil content comes at the expense of existing genetic recombinations that improve disease or pest resistance.Chicken producer Perdue Farms Inc. has signed a deal with Zeakal, agreeing to pay farmers a higher price for harvested supplies of the new variety, which is good for chicken feed because of its higher protein levels. If large oil companies follow suit, the soybean market might never look the same. “We could have an opportunity for the oil component of soybeans to actually become more important in some markets than the protein aspect,” says Mike Dillon, vice president of ZeaKal, “That’s a very dramatic shift.”8. How did researchers plan to produce more oil?A. By planting more soybeans.B. By banning soybean exports.C. By fertilizing soybean fields.D. By engineering soybean genes.9. What does the author want to show by mentioning the figure in paragraph 3?A. The continuous use of the fuel.B. The growing demand for biofuel.C. The serious lack of green fuel supplies.D. The fierce competition between companies.10. Who can change the current biofuel market according to the last paragraph?A. Companies.B. Farmers.C. Scientists.D. Governments11. Which can be the best title of the text?A. Biofuel: A New Way to Cut Down Carbon EmissionsB. Oilier Soybeans: Possible Reliance of the Future FuelC. A Big Shift: From Conventional Soybeans to Altered OnesD. Genetic Modification: A Technology to Breed New SoybeansDWhenever I order food for delivery, I play a little game to guess how many sets of tableware(餐具)the restaurant will provide with my meal. Sometimes restaurants will throw in two, three or four sets for just one order. But I rarely need any tableware at all, and the waste goes into the trash or collects dust in a kitchen drawer.Researchers working with Chinese technology group Alibaba tried a simple approach to this problem. Instead of just wastefully doling out tableware, the company required food-delivery customers in some cities in China to pick how many sets of tableware they wanted to receive.The default (默认设置)was set at zero. The result, published today in the journal Science, was a 638% increase in the share of no-tableware orders. If applied across China, researchers found, the approach would save nearly 22 billion sets of plastic tableware. The study doesn’t cover carbon emissions, but it’s safe to say that the impact would be significant. It struck me as a useful reminder of the many low-hanging fruits across the economy that can cut waste, and emissions.Nudging its customers cost Alibaba nothing more than a few hours of software engineering time and the impact it brought was immense. The concept of nudging comes from the field of behavioral economics known as nudge theory. It suggests that a slight action can encourage good human behavior without the need for policies that limit choice or economic punishment that raises the cost of bad behavior. To nudge customers to eat better, for example, a restaurant might organize its menu by listing healthy options first and bury unhealthy ones at the bottom. More recently, some big companies like Google have also begun to use nudges to advance climate objectives.Behavioral economics broadly, and nudges more specifically, aren’t without controversy. Some might think it assigns consumers responsibility for addressing environmental challenges. But there is another way to look at it. In the absence of necessary policy—and policy is needed一companies can help encourage a widespread shift of consumer behavior.And all of that behavioral change can add up. The International Energy Agency found in 2021 that small behavioral changes in energy consumption such as walking instead of driving and adjusting the thermostat could in total shave off 4% of global emissions. The more that companies can do to facilitate such changes, the better.12. What did Alibaba do with tableware waste?A. It stopped restaurants from handing out tableware.B. It withdrew unused tableware from customers.C It updated the food -delivery device regularly..D. It allowed picking tableware at customers’ demand.13. What do the underlined words “low-hanging fruits” mean in paragraph 2?A. Easily accessible things.B. Fast increasing orders.C. Exceptionally tough choices.D. Widely accepted strategies.14. What can we learn about nudge theory from paragraph 3?A. It brings about economic loss.B. It results from consumption policies.C. It indicates small action changes behaviour.D. It implies bad behaviour impacts economy.15What is the main idea of the text?.A. Nudge theory affects behaviors.B. Good behaviors boost economy.C. Nudging helps build a greener world.D. Behavioral economics benefits customers.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。

Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5, 500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him.On June 9, Dr. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. Many friends, family, and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay.Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1. 3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better, his health greatly improved in a couple of ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project. In November, Dr. Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project.Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. "Who knows?" he said. "Maybe one day, one of them will come. back and break the record we just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries.24. What is Jules's Undersea Lodge special for?A. Its convenience.B.

Communicate more with him.B. Explore the unknown bravely.C. Study the information of the project.D. Meet at the conference in Scotland.CEach year, more than 27 million. U. S. and Canadian kids get to school by bus. Most of those buses run on diesel （柴油） fuel, which give out pollution that riders can take in. Pollution levels can be several times higher inside a diesel school bus than outside it. Why? Pollution can leak in from the floor or blow in through windows.A U. S. government program started in 2012 offered schools' money spent on cleaner school buses but not all schools could get it. Five years later, emissions from buses in the winning districts fell. And a year after getting new buses, student attendance had improved in those districts. For an average district of 10, 000 students, about six more students attended 'school each day' in the winning districts, compared to the losing districts. Winning schools with higher rates of bus-riding kids had an average of 14 more students in class each day. And winning districts that replaced the oldest school buses? They had an average of 45 more students in school each day.Those numbers may sound small, but 'they add up. And school attendance matters for student achievement. Almost 3 million U. S. kids ride school buses more than 20 years old. If U. S. school districts had replaced all of those older buses, there would have been 1. 3 million fewer student absences each year.There might be other reasons for better attendance. For example, maybe kids preferred new buses. However, the most-likely reason for fewer student absences was better health. A study done on adults showed that a brief exposure to diesel emissions reduced "network connectivity" in the brain. In other studies, such network-connectivity changes have been linked to worsened memory and mental tasks. A Washington State program upgraded pollution controls in old diesel buses. Afterward, fewer kids were hospitalized in those districts than in schools without bus upgrades.Almost all U. S. school districts can apply for the program. But schools in low-income areas, in tribal areas and, in rural areas will get priority. Kids in these areas tend to face. the most health risks from older buses.28. What can we infer about diesel school buses from the first paragraph?A. They have a short service life.B. They operate cost-effectively.C. They accommodate few passengers.D. They do much harm to school children.29. Why is the increase in school attendance small but important?A. It is a long accumulation.B. It is a winning condition.C. It is a measuring standard.D. It is a student achievement.30. How does the bus replacement bring better student attendance?A. By reducing the network connectivity.B. By bettering the health state of students.C. By improving student satisfaction with schools.D. By meeting students' demand for school bus drivers.31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The "network connectivity" in the brain.B. The great work on cleaner school buses.C. A U. S. government program for education.D: Better attendance due to new school buses.DFirst-year college students often are expected or required to live in dormitories. In the rest years, it's usually up to those students to decide whether to live on or off campus.But some schools don't provide an option and require four years of on-campus living for full-time students. Living on campus has been shown to increase retention（保留） and attendance rates among freshman and second-year students, according to a 2021 report. There are exceptions, however. At some colleges, students may be freed from the requirement if they are, for instance, commuters （通勤生）, fifth-year seniors, at least 23 years of age or legally married.Residential housing at colleges is not limited to shared rooms and bathrooms. Alternatives include flats, apartments, Greek houses or living-learning communities for students with shared interests. On-campus students also have access to services and resources such as residence life staff who can help if a housing issue arises. When students live in a community, they are forced to live with different people, learn more about themselves and about the others, and tell each other their stories.On the other hand, off-campus living provides students with more independence, as they are not constrained by school housing policies. Off-campus students gain more real-world experience in areas like paying their own bills, finding renter's insurance, cooking their own meals and negotiating or reviewing contracts. If students are choosing to live off campus, they should really think it through and talk to someone that lived. off campus. Do their homework and look at all the costs before they make that decision. Make sure, too, that they are choosing people that they can live with.At first glance, off-campus housing can appear less expensive. But the additional expenses outside of rent---like utilities, groceries, Internet access, cable and furniture---are often overlooked. To reduce off-campus costs, some students choose to overpack houses or apartments, sometimes with four or five people in a two-bedroom house. Unlike off-campus housing, the total cost of living on campus is typically all-inclusive, coveting rent, utilities, furniture, Wi-Fi and a meal plan.32. Why do some colleges require all the students to live on campus?A. To keep them stay longer on campus for classes.B. To make sure all students can live in shared rooms.C. To make as much profit as possible for the colleges.D. To monitor all of their students as easily as possible.33. What should students do before living off campus?A. They should find someone to take care of them.B. They should fully develop the ability to live alone.C. They should learn all aspects of off-campus living.D. They should seek accommodation through an agent.34. What does the underlined word "overpack" in the last paragraph mean?A. Overlook.B. Overconsume.C. Overestimate.D. Overload.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Residential Housing At Different CollegesB. Choice Between Housing On Or Off CampusC. Accommodation Situation For College StudentsD. Different Living Experience On Or Off Campus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。

William Gadoury has been crazy about the Mayans for most of his childhood, ever since his grandparents boughthim books about the civilization. What started as a hobby at age 12 snowballed into serious research, and he theorized that the locations of Mayan cities might correspond to stars in Mayan constellations(星座).Using ancient books, Gadoury analyzed 22 Mayan constellation maps and covered the positions onto Google Earth images of the Yucatan Peninsula, which to this day is home to large local populations and some best-preserved architecture from Mayan culture. He would track the constellations from Google Earth using special sheets, covering them onto the position of Mayan cities on a paper map. The teen was able to show that 117 Mayan cities matched up with the position of the stars, with the brightest stars representing bigger cities.But when Gadoury was working on the 23rd Mayan constellation, he found a conflict: three stars, but only two ancient cities on Google Earth. The third star pointed to a location on the Mexico-Belize border. However, the area was covered with thick jungle, leaving Gadoury stuck.Luckily, he asked NASA for images from their RADARSAT-2 satellite. Indeed, there was a square, man-made-looking structure in the heavy forest. Gadoury then learned a fire had swept across the region, thinning out the grass cover. He found images from the agency, and eventually concluded that there was indeed a city there.Gadoury's findings eventually took him into the jungle in 2022 to search on foot, along with scientist Francisco Bell. The team discovered a farming village deep in the Mexican jungle, w hich showed the “backbone” of the Maya's long-term success, which was down to their ability to work the land and support large cities.4. What is Gadoury's finding mainly about?A. The villages in the Mexican jungle.B. The images from NASA satellites.C. The origins of Mayan culture.D. The locations of Mayan cities.5. How did Gadoury carry out his research according to Paragraph 2?A. By tracking the best-preserved building on maps.B. By analyzing 117 Mayan cities in ancient books.C. By checking star maps against satellite images.D. By updating the Google Earth on the Internet.6. What made it difficult for Gadoury to find the third city of the 23rd Mayan stars?A. A thick forest.B. A forest fire.C. Fund shortage.D. Bad weather.7. Which of the following best describes Gadoury?A. Cheerful.B. Intelligent.C. Ambitious.D. Sympathetic.CImagine a new smartphone product. It works the same as any other smartphone, but when dropped, those cracks that appear after an annoying fall slowly begin to fade away, and the phone magically repairs itself、A team of researchers led by chemistry professor Takuzo Aida have found a way to create self-repairing plastics that can be used in smartphones, cars and other products. But their new plastics won't only be used to create unbreakable products, but also help the fight against growing wastes harming the planet.91% of plastic is non-recyclable and filling Earth with waste. The increasing plastic in landfills is a growing concern due to its negative environmental impact. In 2019 about only9% of plastics were recycled globally, leading Japanese scientists to seek to find plastic that can start its own formation or self-repair.The self-repairing plastics are made by adding a tiny amount of a specialized substance into ordinary plastic to hold the monomers(单体) together by hydrogen bonds(氢键). When the new plastic is broken down by heat, instead ofburning to waste, the hydrogen bonds mix and allow for the formation of special shaped monomers to create a foundation for more monomers to layer on and rebuild itself. The team found that their self-healing plastic was able to automatically repair at room temperature over an hour to regain its durability. The team's work suggests great prospects for the future of plastic. “The technique could lead to the development of a made-to-last plastic that does not need to be recycled,” lead professor Aida said at the conference, “and can one day be in products from smartphones to cars and even buildings.”8. What is the special feature of the new plastics?A. Hard to break.B. Cheap to produce.C. Good to health.D. Easy to recycle.9. What drove scientists to search for the new plastics?A. Global warming.B. Industrial needs.C. Economic crisis.D. Green awareness.10. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the new plastic?A. Its social effect.B. Its main function.C. Its working principle.D. Its economic value.11. What is Aida's attitude towards the new plastic?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Disapproving.D. Unconcerned.DRadiocarbon dating has revealed two fake(伪造的) paintings in France—probably the first time the technique has been used in a police investigation. The paintings were supposedly works from around the early twentieth century. But a team led by scientist Lucile Beck at the University of Paris-Saclay dated them to sometime within the past 70 years.The use of radiocarbon dating is gaining popularity, thanks to advances that require smaller samples than ever before. Removing tinier samples from artwork is becoming more palatable to museums and owners of paintings. Ifthere is a chance that a painting is genuine—and therefore valuable—they don't want the collection of larger samples to damage it.All living things take in carbon, including radioactive carbon-14, from the atmosphere and from food. When a plant commonly used to make oil painting cloth dies, the carbon-14 that it contained continues to fall off. Radiocarbon dating measures what's left to estimate the time that's passed, says Mariaelena Fedi, a physicist at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Florence, Italy. Atomic-bomb(原子弹) testing, which began in the 1940s and took off in the 1950s, quickly increased the amount of carbon-l4 in the atmosphere.Carbon-l4 peaked around 1964and went down after a partial ban on nuclear tests. Researchers can easily identify materials containing modern bomb-produced radiocarbon because their carbon-14 concentrations are higher than pre-1950s levels. Beck's team tested its samples to see whether they bore the feature of that bomb-produced radioactive carbon-14.The canvas fiber from the paintings clearly contained carbon from either the mid-1950sor after the year 2000, the researchers reported. Beck acknowledged that, ideally, the team would do further chemical analysis to support its findings, but the researchers were limited by the tight time.12. What does the underlined word “palatable” in P aragraph 2 probably mean?A. Impressive.B. Acceptable.C. Expensive.D. Difficult.13. How does radiocarbon dating work?A. By analyzing samples from artwork.B. By removing the smaller samples.C. By measuring the carbon-14 left.D. By testing the carbon in the sample.14. What can we learn about atomic-bomb testing in Paragraph 4?A. It produces more carbon-14.B. It helps identify fake paintings.C. it reduces carbon concentration.D. It has been stopped completely.15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Paintings waiting to be identifiedB. Two fake paintings found in FranceC. New technology in painting becomes a hitD.

the poorest regions in China,to participate in an English class with village children.Most kids in the school come from poor village homes and are“left behind”children一kids whose parents work in the cities to make a better living.After class,we chatted a lot,and they wondered about everything,using“outside world”as a term to describe the wider globe for many times.Taking care of rural children is essential.The school offers boarding services and free breakfast and lunch to the students,who can also video chat with their parents daily.To better care for the village children,the school provides outdoor hiking,technology,art,and foreign language program s to help them understand the outside world.After all, high-quality education to disadvantaged village children is the key to poverty-alleviation（扶贫）efforts.During my trip in Xihaigu,I also visited Ningxia Normal University,where over70%of its students major in education.In2013,local and central governments launched public-funded programs to recruit students interested in becoming teachers in Ningxia’s rural villages and districts.By2023,3,500students were enrolled in the program, many of whom came from disadvantaged village households in Xihaigu.I had the opportunity to speak with Yang,a public-funded student from the once-poor Xihaigu region.After finishing school,he planned to stay in the Xihaigu area as a teacher to teach the kids knowledge.Yang told me that knowledge is the key to leading a better life as well as understanding the world.A lack of knowledge is one of the main factors of being poor.Money could help the poor for a while but not once for all.He hopes that by sharing knowledge with the kids in his hometown,he can help them broaden their horizons and develop an objective perspective on the world.He envisions a future where these children can use their knowledge to make a better life,stop people’stereotypes(固有印象)about China and share Xihaigu’s stories with the rest of

conditions of the school.D.The high-quality education of the school.26.What can we infer from the author’s trip in Ningxia Normal University?A.Students in this university can be free of charge.B.The authorities support Ningxia’s rural areas by stressing education.C.The public-funded programs target at the students from poor regions.D.Money is less important than knowledge for the people in

archaeologists（考古学家）examined ancient tombs in Turfan in western China,they discovered some surprisingly well-preserved and familiar relics.Though hardened from over1,000years,there sat little dumplings.Exactly who invented dumplings remains a mystery.But some scholars suspect they were first spread by nomadic（游牧的）Turki c peoples living in western China and Central Asia.This is thought to be the case because “manti,”meaning“dumpling”or“steamed bun”in many Turkic languages,appears to be the root word for dumpling in several other languages.Ancient Turkic people probably filled their dumplings with meat.But it’s unclear when this practice began,or whether they learned the art of dumpling-making from others.However this happened,dumplings certainly gathered steam in ancient China.Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand years.Instead of the traditional meat filling,some communities chose vegetarian（素食）dumplings.People developed new cooking methods.The relationship between Chinese dumplings and those in other areas is tricky to trace,but food historians have made their best guesses based on available clues.Besides Turkic tribes,some scholars believe that the Mongol Empire also contributed to the spread of dumplings, perhaps introducing them to parts of Eastern Europe.These dumplings could have come by way of China or directly from some of the Turkic peoples the Mongols hired to run their empire.One theory is that this gave rise to dumplings like pelmeni in Russia,pierogi in Poland and vareniki in Ukraine.The Mongol Empire also controlled Korea and might have likewise introduced dumplings ter,after Chinese dumpling varieties were introduced to more countries,English speakers began calling them dumplings,which means“little lumps”.During the Second World War, Chinese“jiaozi”were brought to Japan.So what about the Italian dumpling-like pasta?Some historians think it might be brought by Arab conquerors.It’s unlikely that all dumpling dishes came from the same root tradition.However,we can appreciate the mysterious historical web that made dumplings so various.28.What made Turkic peoples suspected to first spread dumplings?A.The languages they used.B.Their eating habits.C.Their dumpling-making skills.D.The newly found tombs.29.What does the phrase“gathered steam”in paragraph2mean?A.Originated.B.Stabilized.C.Got well-cooked.D.Became popular.30.What does paragraph4focus on?A.The spreading process of dumplings.B.The possible origins of dumplings.C.Differences between various dumplings.D.Reasons for the popularity of dumplings.31.Which of the following best describe dumplings according to the passage?A.Delicious.B.Diverse.C.Unusual.D.Regional.DSonia Kleindorfer was a new director of the Konrad Lorenz Research Center in Austria.At her institute,Konrad Lorenz was a famous Austrian zoologist who could correctly name each kind of goose,which made Kleindorfer feel a certain amount of pressure.“I can do five,but when the next five come,I start to have a mental meltdown,”she says. So she contacted a more technically-minded colleague and asked him:Could he write a program to distinguish these faces?He said,yes,but he’d need a database of geese photos to work with.Kleindorfer got her team out there,snapping picture s of the geese from every angle.After building the database,they wrote a piece of facial recognition Al that could ID a goose,by looking at specific feature s of its beak（喙）.After a couple of years,the team reports that their goose recognition software is now about97%accurate.“Geese have such drama—there are archrivals（劲敌）,and jealousy and retribution（报答）,”Kleindorfer says. To find out how faces figured into this drama,she presented the geese with full-sized pictures of themselves,their partners,or another member of the flock.She showed evidence that geese seemed to recognize photos of their partners and friends,but not themselves.For further study,Sonia Kleindorfer hopes birdwatchers will someday be able to snap a picture of a goose,ID it,and share its location with scientists.But she adds,just remember,her new research suggests that bird watching goes both ways:Geese can remember faces too.“If you are ever not kind to a goose,”she warns,“that goose may find you again.”Kleindorfer thinks that facial recognition is going to play a really important role in conservation and ecology.“We need more computer scientists trained in behavioral ecology and we need more conservation scientists trained in computer science,”she says.“But working together,I think we can do this.”32.What was the problem of Sonia Kleindorfer at work?A.She was always stressed.B.She was not able to count the geese.C.She suffered a mental illness.D.She couldn’t recognize all the geese.33.How does the program distinguish the geese?A.By snapping pictures of the geese.B.By presenting the full-sized pictures.C.By identifying the beaks in the photos.D.By building the database of the geese.34.What is the finding of the new research?A.Birdwatching is a dangerous activity.B.Geese can locate and find human beings.C.Geese have the ability of facial recognition.D.Birdwatchers can snap a picture of a goose.35.What does Kleindorfer stress in the last paragraph?A.Science training.puter science.C.Photo-taking skills.D.Cross-subject study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。
