What it’s like to lose at the Olympics

Kate Courtney competes in the women’s cross-country mountain bike race at the Olympics in Japan on July 27. She placed 15th.
The brighter the spotlight, the deeper the darkness left in its shadow. As I return home from my first Olympic Games in Tokyo, I can’t help but feel that spotlight lifting and the depth of the darkness in its place. And I know I am not the only one.
I’ve been a professional cyclist for years, a former world champion and World Cup overall champion. In 2020, I was prequalified for the Tokyo Games and couldn’t wait to add Olympian to that list. During some of the most difficult moments of the pandemic, the idea of getting to line up to race in Tokyo provided me with a light at the end of the tunnel. The Games motivated me to continue to work through doubt and uncertainty, to believe that the future would be ripe with opportunity.
Each tough workout was part of a larger mission, and the small breakthroughs along the way fed my confidence and belief that anything was possible. I had never felt more alive. When I finally made it to Tokyo, I was overwhelmed by the support from my friends, family and even those I hardly knew. I lined up feeling grateful, prepared and optimistic.
Then, I fell off an emotional cliff.
From the start, my race didn’t go to plan. In a race where I had hoped to be fighting for a medal, I found myself fighting just to stay in the top 15.
The overwhelming outpouring of positivity and support that I’d received before my race gave way to a wave of consolation and criticism, especially online. Few people will ever understand what it feels like to win a gold medal, but we can all relate to the feeling of struggling to accomplish hard things or in trying to get through a rough patch where nothing seems to go our way. In my own disappointment, I am learning to appreciate that some seasons of life are not about victory, but about holding space for the struggle and acknowledging the courage it takes to pick ourselves up and risk our hearts again and again. That kind of courage can be the source of the greatest victories, as well as the most devastating defeats. It is one of the things we love most about sports, seeing athletes courageous enough to put it all on the line.
But courage is exhausting. And I don’t think Olympic athletes are the only ones who feel this exhaustion. It can be exhausting to continue to give your best effort in the face of overwhelming uncertainty, doubt and loss.
At the Olympics, in particular, uncertainty and loss become visible. The challenge is clear, the emotions raw, and the outcome broadcast for the world to see. It takes courage for athletes to offer up true, heartfelt participation, knowing that very few will leave triumphant. And when the battle is over, those fallen competitors do not need to be kicked - they need to be carried. They need to be allowed to rest for just a moment to mend their broken hearts so they can continue to bravely share their gifts with the world.
This is not the story I had been hoping to write about my Olympic Games. But as I navigate my challenges around this experience I am reminded that there are seasons of struggle and seasons of victory -- and that you don't always get to choose when you jump from one to the next. Sometimes, you need help to keep going until the leaves change color. Exhaustion is not evidence of a lack of courage but of its abundance. To deny the struggle is to deny the very thing that allows us to win in the end.
39. What does the author mean by saying “a light at the end of the tunnel” (Para.2)?
A. The pandemic ended the author’s hopes of becoming a professional cyclist.
B. The author has been training for a race in a tunnel to compete in the Olympics.
C. The author was not sure whether she was competent enough to join in the race.
D. The Olympics gave her some hope despite the lengthy period of the pandemic
40. Why does the author mention “an emotional cliff” (Para.4)?
A. To compare her emotions to that of an awe-inspiring natural object.
B. To contrast her emotional states before and after her loss at the Games.
C. To stress the help and support she had been receiving from her friends.
D. To show she had reached the limits of her ability to succeed in her given sport.
41. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Throughout this experience, the author felt nothing but disappointment.
B. People online comforted the author after she failed the Tokyo Olympics.
C. Courage is exhausting, which makes it unwise to give your best effort.
D. Fallen competitors need to be allowed some time to recover from failure.
42. According to the passage, what has helped the author get through the disappointment of her failure at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics?
A. Positivity and support from her family and friends.
B. The fact that few could win a gold medal at the Olympics.
C. Her previous victories prove that she was successful in her sport.
D. Courage and her years of hard work helped to give her peace of mind.
C
If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal (夜间活动的) species on this planet. Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don’t think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night: We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.
The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences -- called light pollution -- whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design, which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky. Ill-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels -- and light rhythms -- to which many forms of life, including ourselves, have adapted. Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect of life is affected.
In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant haze (霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark. We’ve grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night -- dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadows on Earth -- is wholly beyond our experience, beyond memory almost.
We’ve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could be further from the truth. Among mammals alone, the number of nocturnal species is astonishing. Light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet (磁铁). The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being “captured” by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms. Migrating at night, birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings.
Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint, including their nighttime breeding choruses. Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than the frogs. Like most other creatures, we do need darkness. Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare, to our internal clockwork, as light itself.
Living in a glare of our own making, we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage-the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night. In a very real sense, light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being, which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way -- the edge of our galaxy -- arching overhead.
43. According to the passage, human beings ________.
A. prefer to live in the darkness
B. are used to living in the day light
C. were curious about the midnight world
D. had to stay at home with the light of the moon
44. The writer mentions birds and frogs to ________.
A. provide examples of animal protection
B. show how light pollution affects animals
C. compare the living habits of both species
D. explain why the number of certain species has declined
45. It is implied in the last paragraph that ________.
A. light pollution does harm to the eyesight of animals
B. light pollution has destroyed some of the world heritages
C. human beings cannot go to the outer space
D. human beings should reflect on their position in the universe
46. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. The Magic Light B. The Orange Haze
C. The Disappearing Night D. The Rhythms of Nature
D
Is science actually "right"?
The Covid crisis has led many scientists to take up arms (or at least keyboards) to defend their enterprise -- and to be sure, science needs defenders these days. But in their zeal to fight back against vaccine rejection and other forms of science denial, some scientists say things that just aren't true -- and you can't build trust if the things you are saying are not trustworthy.
One popular move is to insist that science is right -- full stop -- and that once we discover the truth about the world, that's it. We are done. Anyone who denies such truths (they suggest) is stupid or ignorant. Or, as Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg said, "Even though a scientific theory is in a sense a social consensus, it is unlike any other sort of consensus in that it is culture-free and permanent." Well, no. Even a modest familiarity with the history of science offers many examples of matters that scientists thought they had resolved, only to discover that they needed to be reconsidered. Some familiar examples are Earth as the center of the universe, the absolute nature of time and space, the stability of continents, and the cause of infectious disease.
Science is a process of learning and discovery, and sometimes we learn that what we thought was right is actually wrong. Science can also be understood as an institution (or better, a set of institutions) that facilitates this work. To say that science is "true" or "permanent" is like saying that "marriage is permanent." At best, it's a bit off-key. Marriage today is adapted to a world that is very different from what it was in the 16th or 18th century, and so are most of our "laws" of nature. They are at best, true for now or true until proven otherwise.
Another popular move is to say scientific findings are true because scientists use "the scientific method." But we can never actually agree on what that method is. Some will say it is empiricism: observation and description of the world. Others will say it is the experimental method: the use of experience and experiment to test hypotheses. This is cast sometimes as the hypothetic-deductive method, in which the experiment must be framed as a deduction from theory, and sometimes as falsification, where the point of observation and experiment is to prove these theories false, not to confirm them. Recently, a prominent scientist claimed the scientific method was to avoid fooling oneself into thinking that something is true when it is not, and vice versa.
In my view, the biggest mistake scientists make is to claim that this is all somehow simple and therefore to imply that anyone who doesn't get it is dumb. Yet science is not simple, and neither is the natural world; therein lies the greatest challenge of science communication. What we do is both hard and, often, hard to explain. Our efforts to understand and characterize the natural world are just that: efforts. Because we're human, we often fall flat. The good news is that when that happens, we pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off, and get back to work. That's no different from professional skiers who wipe out in major races or inventors whose early aspirations go bust. Understanding the beautiful, complex world we live in, and using that knowledge to do useful things, is its own reward and why taxpayers should be happy to fund research.
Scientific theories are not perfect replicas of reality, but we have good reason to believe that they capture significant elements of it. And experience reminds us that when we ignore reality, it sooner or later comes back to bite us.
47. What can we learn from paragraphs 1 & 2?
A. What scientists said is absolutely trustworthy.
B. Scientific findings call for further consideration.
C. It is unwise to deny some truths scientists have found.
D. Social consensus contributes to the discovery of a scientific theory.
48. The author compares science to marriage because ________.
A. neither science nor marriage is trustworthy
B. both science and marriage are true and permanent
C. neither science nor marriage remains the same all the time
D. both science and marriage can help us to tell right from wrong
49. Which of the following statements is true for 'the scientific method'?
A. The experimental method, to great extent, leads to scientific findings.
B. Empiricism is an ideal scientific method leading to scientific findings.
C. It is just a way to prevent scientists from falling into the traps.
D. None of the above.
50. The author intends to tell us ________.
A. once some scientific truths are settled, there is no need to change them
B. scientific findings are not permanent so that we should be ready for the changes
C. if we can use different scientific methods, we can reach more scientific findings
D. although science is not easy to understand, the truth will always come out

Most of us don’t like to think too much about rubbish.___51___. However, household waste is a major contributor to our planet’s waste problem. Like it or not, it needs to be managed if we are to have a brighter green future.
When it comes to being responsible for our own rubbish, the best way to approach it is by following the three golden rules of waste management, or the ‘3 Rs’-Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
“The order is important.____52____ ,” says Eugene Tay, Director of Green Future Solutions in Singapore. “Recycling still affects the environment and should be done last after reduce and reuse.”
But, when our efforts to reduce and reuse still result in an overflowing rubbish bin, the advantages of recycling cannot be ignored. “____53____,” says Amy Ho, Managing Director of World Wide Fund For Nature in Singapore. “The damage to our environment could then be slowed down as a result. ”
In fact, by recycling just one plastic bottle, you are saving not just the material to make a new one, but you also stop it from getting thrown into a landfill(垃圾掩埋场)for up to 700 years-and that’s before it even starts to rot. ____54____.
Recycling is so important that we really have no excuse not to do the simplest of household tasks that will make a difference.
“_____55_____ , ”says Ho. “Starting with recycling grey water for gardening purposes, to recycling materials such as glass, paper and iron-it all reduces the use of raw materials.”
A. We put it in the bin and don’t think too far beyond that
B. The collective action of individuals can make a significant effect
C. It‘s important for every household to make good use of grey water
D. Waste reduction and reuse is usually the best way to decrease waste
E. The three rules of waste management should be followed by every household
F. Recycling reduces the use of raw materials and so protects our natural resources
G. Recycling just 10% plastic bottles would keep 90 million kilograms of plastic out of landfills

What it’s like to lose at the Olympics

Kate Courtney competes in the women’s cross-country mountain bike race at the Olympics in Japan on July 27. She placed 15th.

The brighter the spotlight, the deeper the darkness left in its shadow. As I return home from my first Olympic Games in Tokyo, I can’t help but feel that spotlight lifting and the depth of the darkness in its place. And I know I am not the only one.
I’ve been a professional cyclist for years, a former world champion and World Cup overall champion. In 2020, I was prequalified for the Tokyo Games and couldn’t wait to add Olympian to that list. During some of the most difficult moments of the pandemic, the idea of getting to line up to race in Tokyo provided me with a light at the end of the tunnel. The Games motivated me to continue to work through doubt and uncertainty, to believe that the future would be ripe with opportunity.
Each tough workout was part of a larger mission, and the small breakthroughs along the way fed my confidence and belief that anything was possible. I had never felt more alive. When I finally made it to Tokyo, I was overwhelmed by the support from my friends, family and even those I hardly knew. I lined up feeling grateful, prepared and optimistic.
Then, I fell off an emotional cliff.
From the start, my race didn’t go to plan. In a race where I had hoped to be fighting for a medal, I found myself fighting just to stay in the top 15.
The overwhelming outpouring of positivity and support that I’d received before my race gave way to a wave of consolation and criticism, especially online. Few people will ever understand what it feels like to win a gold medal, but we can all relate to the feeling of struggling to accomplish hard things or in trying to get through a rough patch where nothing seems to go our way. In my own disappointment, I am learning to appreciate that some seasons of life are not about victory, but about holding space for the struggle and acknowledging the courage it takes to pick ourselves up and risk our hearts again and again. That kind of courage can be the source of the greatest victories, as well as the most devastating defeats. It is one of the things we love most about sports, seeing athletes courageous enough to put it all on the line.
But courage is exhausting. And I don’t think Olympic athletes are the only ones who feel this exhaustion. It can be exhausting to continue to give your best effort in the face of overwhelming uncertainty, doubt and loss.
At the Olympics, in particular, uncertainty and loss become visible. The challenge is clear, the emotions raw, and the outcome broadcast for the world to see. It takes courage for athletes to offer up true, heartfelt participation, knowing that very few will leave triumphant. And when the battle is over, those fallen competitors do not need to be kicked - they need to be carried. They need to be allowed to rest for just a moment to mend their broken hearts so they can continue to bravely share their gifts with the world.
This is not the story I had been hoping to write about my Olympic Games. But as I navigate my challenges around this experience, I am reminded that there are seasons of struggle and seasons of victory -- and that you don't always get to choose when you jump from one to the next. Sometimes, you need help to keep going until the leaves change color. Exhaustion is not evidence of a lack of courage but of its abundance. To deny the struggle is to deny the very thing that allows us to win in the end.

C
If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal (夜间活动的) species on this planet. Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don’t think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night: We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.
The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences -- called light pollution -- whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design, which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky. Ill-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels -- and light rhythms -- to which many forms of life, including ourselves, have adapted. Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect of life is affected.
In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant haze (霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark. We’ve grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night -- dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadows on Earth -- is wholly beyond our experience, beyond memory almost.
We’ve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could be further from the truth. Among mammals alone, the number of nocturnal species is astonishing. Light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet (磁铁). The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being “captured” by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms. Migrating at night, birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings.
Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint, including their nighttime breeding choruses. Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than the frogs. Like most other creatures, we do need darkness. Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare, to our internal clockwork, as light itself.
Living in a glare of our own making, we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage-the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night. In a very real sense, light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being, which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way -- the edge of our galaxy -- arching overhead.
43. According to the passage, human beings ________.
A. prefer to live in the darkness
B. are used to living in the day light
C. were curious about the midnight world
D. had to stay at home with the light of the moon
44. The writer mentions birds and frogs to ________.

C. The Disappearing Night D. The Rhythms of Nature
【答案】43. B 44. B 45. D 46. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，讲述了人类热衷于用人造光源将夜空照亮。由此引发的光污染对于动物和人类造成严重影响，呼吁我们反思自己的行为。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light. (而相反，我们人类属于昼间活动的动物，眼睛适应了太阳的光线)”可知，人类习惯生活在白昼时阳光照射下的环境。故选B项。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences (这项工程带来好处的同时也带来了坏处)”和“Wherever human light spills into the natural world，some aspect of life is affected (无论人造光源投射到哪里，自然界某些生物的生活都会受到一些影响)”推知，提到鸟和青蛙是为了表明光污染是如何影响动物的。故选B项。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Living in a glare of our own making, we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage-the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night. In a very real sense light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe，to forget the scale of our being,（生活在一个刺眼的世界，我们已经远离了进化和文化遗产：遥远的星光和昼夜交替闪耀的光。在一个非常真实的意义上，光污染使我们在宇宙中失去真我）”可知，作者认为光污染使得人类迷失了自我，这背离了人类在苍茫宇宙的存在意义。由此推知，人类应当对此进行深刻的检讨和反思。故选D项。
【46题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light. (我们设法将夜空用人造光源照亮)”和第二段“Wherever human light spills into the natural world，some aspect of life is affected (无论人造光源投射到哪里，自然界某些生物的生活都会受到一些影响)”和最后一段“Living in a glare of our own making, we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage-the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night.（生活在一个刺眼的世界，我们已经远离了进化和文化遗产：遥远的星光和昼夜交替闪耀的光）”可知，本文主要介绍人类用耀眼的人造光源将夜空点亮，给自然环境中的动物和人类自身带来了诸多的问题，呼吁人们顺应天道，按照自然规律，还原一个“黑暗沉静”的夜晚。故“正在消失的夜空”可以作为本文标题。故选C项。
D
Is science actually "right"?
The Covid crisis has led many scientists to take up arms (or at least keyboards) to defend their enterprise -- and to be sure, science needs defenders these days. But in their zeal to fight back against vaccine rejection and other forms of science denial, some scientists say things that just aren't true -- and you can't build trust if the things you are saying are not trustworthy.
One popular move is to insist that science is right -- full stop -- and that once we discover the truth about the world, that's it. We are done. Anyone who denies such truths (they suggest) is stupid or ignorant. Or, as Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg said, "Even though a scientific theory is in a sense a social consensus, it is unlike any other sort of consensus in that it is culture-free and permanent." Well, no. Even a modest familiarity with the history of science offers many examples of matters that scientists thought they had resolved, only to discover that they needed to be reconsidered. Some familiar examples are Earth as the center of the universe, the absolute nature of time and space, the stability of continents, and the cause of infectious disease.
Science is a process of learning and discovery, and sometimes we learn that what we thought was right is actually wrong. Science can also be understood as an institution (or better, a set of institutions) that facilitates this work. To say that science is "true" or "permanent" is like saying that "marriage is permanent." At best, it's a bit off-key. Marriage today is adapted to a world that is very different from what it was in the 16th or 18th century, and so are most of our "laws" of nature. They are at best, true for now or true until proven otherwise.
Another popular move is to say scientific findings are true because scientists use "the scientific method." But we can never actually agree on what that method is. Some will say it is empiricism: observation and description of the world. Others will say it is the experimental method: the use of experience and experiment to test hypotheses. This is cast sometimes as the hypothetic-deductive method, in which the experiment must be framed as a deduction from theory, and sometimes as falsification, where the point of observation and experiment is to prove these theories false, not to confirm them. Recently, a prominent scientist claimed the scientific method was to avoid fooling oneself into thinking that something is true when it is not, and vice versa.
In my view, the biggest mistake scientists make is to claim that this is all somehow simple and therefore to imply that anyone who doesn't get it is dumb. Yet science is not simple, and neither is the natural world; therein lies the greatest challenge of science communication. What we do is both hard and, often, hard to explain. Our efforts to understand and characterize the natural world are just that: efforts. Because we're human, we often fall flat. The good news is that when that happens, we pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off, and get back to work. That's no different from professional skiers who wipe out in major races or inventors whose early aspirations go bust. Understanding the beautiful, complex world we live in, and using that knowledge to do useful things, is its own reward and why taxpayers should be happy to fund research.
Scientific theories are not perfect replicas of reality, but we have good reason to believe that they capture significant elements of it. And experience reminds us that when we ignore reality, it sooner or later comes back to bite us.
47. What can we learn from paragraphs 1 & 2?
A. What scientists said is absolutely trustworthy.
B. Scientific findings call for further consideration.
C. It is unwise to deny some truths scientists have found.
D. Social consensus contributes to the discovery of a scientific theory.
48. The author compares science to marriage because ________.
A. neither science nor marriage is trustworthy
B. both science and marriage are true and permanent
C. neither science nor marriage remains the same all the time
D. both science and marriage can help us to tell right from wrong
49. Which of the following statements is true for 'the scientific method'?
A. The experimental method, to great extent, leads to scientific findings.
B. Empiricism is an ideal scientific method leading to scientific findings.
C. It is just a way to prevent scientists from falling into the traps.
D. None of the above.
50. The author intends to tell us ________.
A. once some scientific truths are settled, there is no need to change them
B. scientific findings are not permanent so that we should be ready for the changes
C. if we can use different scientific methods, we can reach more scientific findings
D. although science is not easy to understand, the truth will always come out
【答案】47. B 48. C 49. D 50. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。主要就科学是否正确进行论述，说明科学应该是一个学习和发现的过程，科学发现不是永久性的，我们应该为变化做好准备。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“But in their zeal to fight back against vaccine rejection and other forms of science denial, some scientists say things that just aren't true -- and you can't build trust if the things you are saying are not trustworthy.”（但是在他们对疫苗排斥和其他形式的科学否认的热情中，一些科学家说了一些不真实的事情——如果你说的事情不可信，你就无法建立信任。）以及第二段“Even a modest familiarity with the history of science offers many examples of matters that scientists thought they had resolved, only to discover that they needed to be reconsidered.”（即使对科学史略知一二，也能举出许多科学家认为他们已经解决的问题的例子，结果却发现这些问题需要重新考虑。）可知，科学家可能会说不真实的事情，一些科学家认为已经解决的问题也可能需要重新考虑，所以科学发现需要进一步考虑。故选B项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To say that science is "true" or "permanent" is like saying that "marriage is permanent." At best, it's a bit off-key. Marriage today is adapted to a world that is very different from what it was in the 16th or 18th century, and so are most of our "laws" of nature.”（说科学是“真实的”或“永久的”，就像说“婚姻是永久的”。充其量也有点走调。今天的婚姻适应了一个与16或18世纪大不相同的世界，我们的大多数自然法则也是如此。）可知，婚姻是随着世界变化而变化的，科学也是如此，所以作者将科学与婚姻相比较是因为科学与婚姻都不是一成不变的。故选C项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段 “Some will say it is empiricism: observation and description of the world. Others will say it is the experimental method: the use of experience and experiment to test hypotheses. This is cast sometimes as the hypothetic-deductive method, in which the experiment must be framed as a deduction from theory, and sometimes as falsification, where the point of observation and experiment is to prove these theories false, not to confirm them. Recently, a prominent scientist claimed the scientific method was to avoid fooling oneself into thinking that something is true when it is not, and vice versa.”（有人会说这是经验主义：对世界的观察和描述。其他人会说这是实验方法：使用经验和实验来检验假设。这有时被称为假设-演绎法，在这种方法中，实验必须被视为理论的演绎，有时被视为证伪，观察和实验的目的是证明这些理论是错误的，而不是证实它们。最近，一位著名的科学家声称，科学方法是避免自欺欺人地认为某事是真实的，而事实并非如此，反之亦然。）可知，实验方法是使用经验和实验来检验假设，并不一定会导致科学发现，所以A选项“实验方法在很大程度上导致了科学发现”是错误的；经验主义是对世界的观察和描述，观察和实验的目的是证明这些理论是错误的，而不是证实它们，所以B选项“经验主义是导致科学发现的理想科学方法”是错误的；一位著名的科学家声称，科学方法是避免自欺欺人地认为某事是真实的，而事实并非如此，所以C选项“这只是防止科学家落入陷阱的一种方法”是错误的，D选项“以上都没有。”符合题意。故选D项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Even a modest familiarity with the history of science offers many examples of matters that scientists thought they had resolved, only to discover that they needed to be reconsidered.”（即使对科学史略知一二，也能举出许多科学家认为他们已经解决的问题的例子，结果却发现这些问题需要重新考虑。）以及第三段“Science is a process of learning and discovery”（科学是一个学习和发现的过程）可知，作者打算告诉我们，科学发现并不是一成不变的，科学是一个学习和发现的过程，因此我们需要为变化做好准备。故选B项。
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，共10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
Most of us don’t like to think too much about rubbish.___51___. However, household waste is a major contributor to our planet’s waste problem. Like it or not, it needs to be managed if we are to have a brighter green future.
When it comes to being responsible for our own rubbish, the best way to approach it is by following the three golden rules of waste management, or the ‘3 Rs’-Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
“The order is important.____52____ ,” says Eugene Tay, Director of Green Future Solutions in Singapore. “Recycling still affects the environment and should be done last after reduce and reuse.”
But, when our efforts to reduce and reuse still result in an overflowing rubbish bin, the advantages of recycling cannot be ignored. “____53____,” says Amy Ho, Managing Director of World Wide Fund For Nature in Singapore. “The damage to our environment could then be slowed down as a result. ”
In fact, by recycling just one plastic bottle, you are saving not just the material to make a new one, but you also stop it from getting thrown into a landfill(垃圾掩埋场)for up to 700 years-and that’s before it even starts to rot. ____54____.
Recycling is so important that we really have no excuse not to do the simplest of household tasks that will make a difference.
“_____55_____ , ”says Ho. “Starting with recycling grey water for gardening purposes, to recycling materials such as glass, paper and iron-it all reduces the use of raw materials.”
A. We put it in the bin and don’t think too far beyond that
B. The collective action of individuals can make a significant effect
C. It‘s important for every household to make good use of grey water
D. Waste reduction and reuse is usually the best way to decrease waste
E. The three rules of waste management should be followed by every household
F. Recycling reduces the use of raw materials and so protects our natural resources
G. Recycling just 10% plastic bottles would keep 90 million kilograms of plastic out of landfills
【答案】51. A 52. D 53. F 54. G 55. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要从少用、重复使用和循环利用三个方面介绍了如何减少家庭垃圾。
【51题详解】
根据上文“Most of us don’t like to think too much about rubbish（大多数人不喜欢对于垃圾有太多的思考）”和下文“However, household waste is a major contributor to our planet’s waste problem（然而，家庭垃圾使我们星球垃圾问题的主要制造者）可知，空处承上启下，说明人们只是扔垃圾，除此之外并没有多思考，导致了地球垃圾的大量堆积。为这句转折来做铺垫。A项”我们把它放在垃圾桶，除此之外也没想太多”符合题意。故选A。
【52题详解】
由上文“Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.（少用，重复使用和循环利用）”以及空处上文“The order is important.（顺序很重要）”可知这部分要分别讲Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.三个的措施的顺序，所以这部分先讲减少废物和重用通常是最好的方法来减少浪费。D项“减少废物和重用通常是最好的方法来减少浪费”符合题意。故选D。
【53题详解】
由上文“when our efforts to reduce and reuse still result in an overflowing rubbish bin, the advantages of recycling cannot be ignored.（当我们减少和再利用垃圾的努力仍然导致垃圾箱满溢时，回收利用的好处不容忽视）”可知，这部分是需要讲回收利用的好处。F项“回收减少原材料的使用，以此来保护我们的自然资源”符合语境。故选F。
【54题详解】
由上文“but you also stop it from getting thrown into a landfill (垃圾掩埋场) for up to 700 years—and that’s before it even starts to rot（但你也可以阻止它被扔进垃圾填埋场长达700年，甚至在它开始腐烂之前）”可知，这部分在讲回收利用可以减少垃圾掩埋。G项“仅回收10%的塑料瓶就可以使9000万公斤的塑料垃圾远离填埋场”符合题意。故选G。
【55题详解】
根据后文“Starting with recycling grey water for gardening purposes, to recycling materials such as glass, paper and iron—it all reduces the use of raw materials.（从回收利用灰水（生活中污染较轻的水）为园艺用途，回收利用比如玻璃、纸张和铁开始，这所有的回收利用都可以减少使用原材料）可知，此处主要讲述从生活小处入手注重回收利用垃圾节约资源。B项”个人的集体行动可以产生显著的影响”符合题意。故选B。

【详解】考查动词时态和语态。句意：到目前为止，“元宇宙”这个被认为是互联网未来的概念，在他的演讲中被多次提及。根据时间状语So far可知，谓语动词用现在完成时，动词mention和主语Metaverse之间是被动关系，故用现在完成时的被动语态（have/has been done）。主语为第三人称单数，主谓一致，故填has been mentioned。
69. The team also spoke to people in the West End Bar, some of ________ were there the week before. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】whom
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：这一小组还和伦敦西区酒吧的人谈过，他们中的一些人前一周还在那里。分析句子结构可知，“The team also spoke to people in the West End Bar”是主句，“some of ____were there the week before.”是非限定性定语从句，先行词是people(人)，指人，且定语从句中缺少介词后面的宾语，此处关系词直接跟在介词后面作宾语， 即“介词+关系代词”，所以只能用whom不能用who，且不能省略，故填whom。
70. ________ conservation of several species of dolphin is going on. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】The
【解析】
【详解】考查冠词。句意：对几种海豚的保护正在进行中。根据句意可知，此处名词conservation由介词短语of several species of dolphin修饰，为特指概念，应用定冠词限定。句首字母大写，故填The。

72. ________ (start) at sea level, the route climbs to a height of 3,275 meters at the end, covering 105 kilometers. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】Starting
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：路线从海平面开始，最后上升到3275米的高度，全长105公里。分析句子，climbs是谓语动词，空处应用非谓语动词作状语，start与逻辑主语the route之间有逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词作状语，starting置于句首，首字母大写。故填Starting。
73. I also came to express my thanks to the artists who are devoting their time and talents to ________ (help) to construct schools for kids in remote areas. （所给词的适当形式填空）

The principal presented prizes to those who performed well.

【答案】Dear Jim,
It was in your last letter that you asked about the environment problems we are confronted with. Therefore, I am more than delighted to throw light on the topic.
Despite the growth in our living standards, recent years have seen some worsening environment pollution problems: you sometimes find yourself coughing bitterly, which is caused by heavy smog blanketing some of the cities; mountains of garbage are dumped into rivers and lakes. Aimed at protecting our environment, the government has taken practical steps, including bringing into effect laws prohibiting inappropriate sorting of rubbish and cutting down the use of fossil fuel. I have faith in the government’s determination and ability to bring pollution under control.
May your speech be a great success!
Yours,
Li Hua
