Two “stolen” notebooks written by Charles Darwin were returned to Cambridge University, nearly 22 years after they went missing. The notebooks included the scientist’s famous Tree of Life sketch(草图) and were believed to have been taken in November 2000. Both notebooks were returned to the library in their original file boxes, and included a printed message which read, “Librarian—Happy Easter... X”.

Speaking to the BBC, Cambridge University’s librarian Dr Jessica Gardner said she felt “joyous” at their return. Initially, librarians had thought the notebooks had been misplaced by staff. After various checks through the years, head librarian Dr Gardner eventually reported the notebooks as stolen to the police in 2020.

Dr Gardner was also worried that the notebooks might have taken a lifetime or longer to come back. “I thought it might take years. My sense of relief at the notebooks’ safe return is profound and almost impossible to adequately express. I was heartbroken to learn of their loss and my joy at their return is immense.”

“There have been tears,” she added. “And I think there still will be, because we are not over the emotional roller coaster. It means so much to us to have these home.”

According to Dr Gardner, Cambridge University Libraries will be pulling the notebooks on display this summer, as part of the upcoming exhibition Darwin In Conversation, which opens oil July 9.

The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day(室外运动会)in elementary school.

Small for my age. and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special shame of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different.

In the Softball Throw(女子棒球) event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. I put it down to my first coach, my father. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. Come fall, our backyard football games began with passing practice.

Once I got to sixth grade, the entire students were assigned to either the Red or the While team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, increasing my competitive fever. However, in girls’ sports games at my school. I was no star. During the weekends at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did.

Magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercise every day, a sweaty body building practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym. So, though it shocked some of our friends, the early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, which was considered essential even on vacation.

I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m considered, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.

28. What does the author mean by saying “being picked last for various gym teams” in paragraph 2?

A. She seemed to have little talent in gym games. B. She had to interest in sports.

C. She joined various groups. D. She was tired of competition.

29. Which is closest in meaning to “put it down to” in paragraph 3?

A. Owe it to. B. Pass it on to. C. Hand it over to. D. Show it off to.

30. What can we infer from paragraph 4&5?

A. She developed an interest in reading magazine.

B. Sports gradually became part of her life.

C. Sports game had influenced her marriage a lot.

D. She didn't like competitive sports.

31. Which of the following statements would the author agree?

A. Reading comes second to Sports. B. Life’s foundation all lies in sports.

C. Girls’ sports arc not competitive. D. Sports enriches life as well as books.

D

Scientists have discovered a common household item is the perfect host for bacteria: the kitchen sponge(海绵块). According to the new research, a sponge is a better habitat for diverse bacterial communities than a laboratory petri dish.

Some bacteria prefer living with a collection of microbial species, while others prefer solitude. “Bacteria are just like people living through the pandemic—some find it difficult being set apart while others thrive（繁育）,” says study co author Lingchong You, a professor of biomedical engineering at Duke, in a statement.

In their study, researchers distributed different strains of E. coli(大肠杆菌菌株) onto plates with different numbers of wells, which functioned as physical separation. The large wells allowed microbial species to mix freely, while the small wells let species keep to themselves. After 30 hours, the learn looked at I be number and types of bacterial on each plate, which had anywhere from six to 1,536 wells. The scientists found that a moderate level of physical separation, similar to the structure of a kitchen sponge, allowed both kinds of bacteria—those that live in groups and those that live alone—to thrive.

After the researchers ran their initial experiments, they recreated the experiment on a sponge. They found that the bacterial community growing on a kitchen sponge was more diverse than those produced in laboratory petri dishes, which are designed to host bacteria. “Sponges are not really well-suited for kitchen cleanness.” says Markus Egert, a microbiologist at Furtwangen University. “There’s hardly any sterile surface at home, but the kitchen sponge is probably the most thickly populated item at home.”

To keep bacterial growth to a minimum(最小量), Markus recommends microwaving your kitchen sponge for one to two minutes, keeping it away from raw meat, and replacing it every couple of weeks.

32. What does the underlined word “solitude” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Being alone. B. Growing in the soil. C. Being in air D. Living in groups

33. Why is a sponge a better host for bacteria according to paragraph 3?

A. It mixes microbial species to a different level.

B. Its moderate holey structure maintains both kinds of bacteria.

C. It offers a high level of nutrients to bacteria.

D. It allows bacteria communities to keep to themselves.

34. What can we learn from Markus Egert’s words?

A. Raw meat is a major source of bacteria.

B. The sponge is a necessity in every kitchen.

C. The sponge should be removed from the kitchen.

D. Bacteria can grow on almost every item at home.

35. What’s the purpose of writing the passage?

A. To urgently call for kitchen cleanness.

B. I o explain how we easily fall victim to bacteria.

C. To call on people to abandon kitchen sponges.

D. To report kitchen sponge is a better home for bacteria.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Resilience means “doing well in the face of risk or adversity(逆境)”. Being resilient isn’t about avoiding misfortune, but rather how we respond to it. Even if you consider yourself resilient, you may need some guidance in especially hard times.    36   .

Develop relationships. Connecting with empathetic(用同理心的) and understanding people can remind you that you’re not alone in the midst of difficulties.    37   . When adversity strikes, a supportive friend with good listening skills can make a big difference. And if you want your friends and family to support your resilience, remember to support theirs too.

   38   . It’s hard to be positive when life isn’t going your way. An optimistic view empowers you to expect that good things will happen to you. Try imagining what you want, rather than worrying about what you fear. Along the way, note any subtle ways in which you start to feel better as you deal with difficult situations.

Move toward your goals.    39   . Even if it seems like a small accomplishment, it enables you to move toward the things you want to accomplish. Instead of focusing on tasks that seem unachievable, ask yourself, “What’s one thing I know I can accomplish today that helps me move in the direction I want to go?”

Don’t try to ban misfortune completely.    40   . But our reactions to big problems may be informed partly by the many smaller setbacks we face in daily life. Everyday stress probably helps us learn how to handle bigger challenges and gradually improve our adaptive systems.

A. Find a sense of purpose.

B. Maintain a hopeful outlook.

C. Develop some realistic goals and do something regularly.

D. How you think can play a significant part in how you feel.

E. To build resilience, the experts suggest the following.

F. Set up and maintain a support network before you need it.

G. Resilience usually refers to how we handle serious adversity.
