I was sitting in a chemistry lab class during my first year of university, nervous about the experiment we were to perform. I grabbed a pipette and, as I feared, my hand started to shake. The experience was disheartening. I was hoping to pursue a career in science, but I started to wonder whether that would be possible. I thought my dreams had crashed to the ground.
I was a boy born with brain damage. My family managed to find good doctors where we lived, in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Russia, and I took part in clinical trials testing new treatments. Shortly after my first birthday, I started walking and it became clear my intelligence function was unaffected. So, in some sense, I was lucky. Still, I couldn’t do some things growing up. Both hands shook, especially when I was nervous or embarrassed. My left hand was much worse than my right, so I learned to write and do simple tasks with my right hand, but it wasn’t easy to do anything precisely.
As a teenager, I faced a lot of bullying at school. Feeling alone, I joined a study group called “The natural world”. I thought that getting into the world of animals would keep me away from people. That’s how I came into the field of biology. At university, I enjoyed the lectures in my science classes. Many lab tasks proved impossible, however. As I struggled with my mood, I read a book about depression. From then on, the physiology of mental disorders became my scientific passion. I looked into what was being done locally and was excited to discover a lab that did behavioral experiments in rats to study depression.
At the end of my second year, I approached the professor of the lab to see whether I could work with her. I was afraid to admit I couldn’t do some lab tasks. To my relief, she was completely supportive. She set me to work performing behavioral experiments for others in the lab with the help of colleagues. I loved the supportive atmosphere and stayed there to complete my master’s and Ph.D．
I’ve come to realize that my hands aren’t the barrier I thought they were. By making use of my abilities and working as part of a team, I’ve been able to follow my passions. I’ve also realized that there’s much more to being a scientist than performing the physical labor. I may not collect all the data in my papers, but I’m fully capable of designing experiments and interpreting results, which, to me, is the most exciting part of science.
1．What was the author’s dream?
A．To live a normal life. B．To become a scientist.
C．To get a master’s degree. D．To recover from depression.
2．The author said he was lucky in Paragraph 2 because .
A．he didn’t lose the function of both hands
B．he learned how to walk at the age of one
C．his family could afford to see good doctors
D．his brain damage didn’t affect his intellectual capacity
3．From the passage, it is clear that .
A．the author’s own depression inspired him to help others with mental disorders
B．the author was surrounded by a team who urged him to further his study
C．the author’s loneliness moved him towards the world of biology
D．the author finally finished the lab tasks on his own
4．What message does the author want to express?
A．Loving yourself makes a difference. B．Opportunity follows prepared people.
C．A bright future begins with a small dream. D．The sun somehow shines through the storm.

A snake-robot designer, a technologist, an extradimensional physicist and a journalist walk into a room. The journalist turns to the crowd and asks: Should we build houses on the ocean? Like a think-tank panel, members of the team dream up far-out answers to the crucial problem, such as self-driving housing units that could park on top of one another in the coastal city center.
The setting is X, the enterprise which considers more than 100 ideas each year, in areas ranging from clean energy to artificial intelligence. Although only a tiny percentage become “projects” with far-reaching creativity, these projects exist, ultimately, to change the world, like Waymo, the biggest self-driving-car company. In the past 60 years, something strange has happened. As the academic study of creativity has thrived (蓬勃发展), the label innovation may have covered every tiny change of a soda can or a toothpaste flavor, but the rate of productivity growth has been mostly declining since the 1970s. John Fernald, an economist, points out that the notable exception to the post-1970 decline in productivity occurred when businesses throughout the economy finally figured out the breakthrough technology-information technology. John Fernald says, “It’s possible that productivity took off, because we picked all the low-hanging fruit from the IT wave. ”Actually, the world economy continues to harvest the benefits of IT. But where will the next technology shock come from?
Breakthrough technology results from two distinct activities-invention and innovation. Invention is typically the work of scientists and researchers in labs, while innovation is an invention put to commercial use. Seldom do the two activities occur successfully under the same roof. They tend to thrive in opposite conditions; while competition and consumer choice encourage innovation, invention has historically progressed in labs that are protected from the pressure to generate profit.
Allowing well-funded and diverse teams to try to solve big problems is what gave us the computer and the Internet. Today, we fail to give attention to planting the seeds of this kind of ambitious research, while complaining about the harvest. “Companies are really good at combining existing breakthroughs in ways that consumers like. But the breakthroughs come from patient and curious scientists, not the rush to market,” says Jon Gertner, the author of The Idea Factory.
“Technology is a tall tree, ” John Fernald said. “But planting the seeds of invention and harvesting the fruit of innovation are entirely distinct skills, often mastered by different organizations and separated by many years. ” As for me, both of them are essential for technology, although they are relatively independent. I don’t think X is a planter or a harvester, actually. It is like building taller ladders. Nobody knows for sure what, if anything, the employees at such enterprises are going to find up on those ladders. But they’re reaching. At least someone is.
5．What is the main purpose of the first two paragraphs?
A．To present the process of group discussion.
B．To illustrate X’s worry about big problems.
C．To reveal the importance of the crazy ideas.
D．To stress the varied backgrounds of the team.
6．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Breakthroughs must stand the test of the market.
B．Innovation on necessities can promote productivity.
C．Invention develops slowly under the pressure of profit.
D．The harvest of innovation lies in some ambitious research.
7．Regarding John Fernald’s view on technology, the author is ____.
A．supportive B．cautious
C．uncertain D．critical
8．What can be inferred about X from the passage?
A．It will focus on innovation.
B．It will have its outcome soon.
C．It may give in to its fruitless reality.
D．It may bring an encouraging outlook.

Arguably, the biggest science development of the year to date has been the images of the very depths of the universe taken by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Those images beg a comparison between the external and internal universes that science is bent on observing and understanding.
Decades ago, astrophysicist Carl Sagan famously said, “The universe is also within is. We’re made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself. ” He was commenting then on the reality that our internal universe was as complex and as fantastic as the outer space.
There are many similarities between the progress we’ve made in understanding the universe and in piecing together life’s inner workings. Like the technological developments that took us from Galileo’s telescope to the Hubble to the JWST, life science tools have also improved rapidly. From early light microscopes to modern super-resolution ones, these developments have afforded researchers a deep look into biology’s infinitesimal (无限小的) landscape. Learning that living things were composed of cells was, not a terribly long time ago, a revolutionary observation. Since then, scientists have been able to dive ever deeper into the components of life.
Going beyond merely observing the complicated makeup of organisms, life scientists can now discover the workings of molecules (分子). And that is where scanning the universe differs from peering into biology. Understanding the universe, especially from a functional standpoint, is not necessarily an immediate urgency. Understanding biology on that level is. Simply observing the amazing internal structure of cells is not enough. Biologists must also characterize how all those parts interact and change in different environments and when faced with various challenges. Being able to image a virus or bacterium is nice at the level of basic science. But knowing how viruses gain entry into cells and spread, infect, and disable can literally save lives. Through time, biology has risen to this mechanistic challenge. Not only can life science tools produce images of cell components, even more importantly, they can help predict the effects of drugs on receptors, of immune cells on foreign invaders (入侵者), and of genetic perturbations (基因干扰) on development and aging.
This is not to belittle the work of scientists researching into universe. They should rightly be praised for delivering views of impossibly distant, impossibly massive phenomena. My aim is to celebrate these accomplishments while at the same time recognizing that science’s inward search for detail and insight is equally impressive and, in my view, more urgent. The output of both the outward and inward explorations should stimulate wonder in everyone. After all, it’s all star-stuff.
12．Why does the author quote Carl Sagan’s comment in Paragraph 2?
A．To introduce the background. B．To prove an assumption.
C．To make a comparison. D．To present an idea.
13．Like the study of the universe, life science has been advancing in ________.
A．study approaches B．system management
C．research facilities D．technology integration
14．We can infer from Paragraph 4 that biologists’ work is ________.
A．practical B．risky C．flexible D．popular
15．As for life science, which would the author agree with?
A．It has received universal recognition. B．It should enjoy priority in development.
C．It can be applied in the majority of areas. D．It is more complicated than space science.

Technology seems to discourage slow, immersive reading. Reading on a screen, particularly a phone screen, tires your eyes and makes it harder for you to keep your place. So online writing tends to be more skimmable and list-like than print. The cognitive neuroscientist Mary Walt argued recently that this “new norm” of skim reading is producing “an invisible, game-changing transformation” in how readers process words. The neuronal circuit that sustains the brain’s capacity to read now favors the rapid absorption of information, rather than skills developed by deeper reading, like critical analysis.
We shouldn’t overplay this danger. All readers skim. Skimming is the skill we acquire as children as we learn to read more skillfully. From about the age of nine, our eyes start to bounce around the page, reading only about a quarter of the words properly, and filling in the gaps by inference. Nor is there anything new in these fears about declining attention spans. So far, the anxieties have proved to be false alarms. “Quite a few critics have been worried about attention span lately and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline,” the American author Selvin Brown wrote. “No one ever said that poems were evidence of short attention spans.”
And yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read. For a start, it means that there is more to read, because more people than ever are writing. If you time travelled just a few decades into the past, you would wonder at how little writing was happening outside a classroom. And digital writing is meant for rapid release and response. An online article starts forming a comment string underneath as soon as it is published. This mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun. But often it treats other people’s words as something to be quickly harvested as fodder to say something else. Everyone talks over the top of everyone else, desperate to be heard.
Perhaps we should slow down. Reading is constantly promoted as a social good and source of personal achievement. But this advocacy often emphasizes “enthusiastic”, “passionate” or “eager” reading, none of which adjectives suggest slow, quiet absorption.
To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in the words and their slow comprehension of a line of thought. The slow reader is like a swimmer who stops counting the number of pool laps he has done and just enjoys how his body feels and moves in water.
The human need for this kind of deep reading is too tenacious for any new technology to destroy. We often assume that technological change can’t be stopped and happens in one direction, so that older media like “dead-tree” books are kicked out by newer, more virtual forms. In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle has not killed off the printed book any more than the car killed off the bicycle. We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas and carefully-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading.
16．What is the author’s attitude towards Selvin Brown’s opinion?
A．Favorable. B．Critical. C．Doubtful. D．Objective.
17．The author would probably agree that .
A．advocacy of passionate reading helps promote slow reading
B．digital writing leads to too much speaking and not enough reflection
C．the public should be aware of the impact skimming has on neuronal circuits
D．the number of Internet readers is declining due to the advances of technology
18．What does the underlined word “tenacious” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A．Comprehensive. B．Complicated. C．Determined. D．Apparent.
19．Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．Slow Reading Is Here to Stay
B．Digital Technology Prevents Slow Reading
C．Screen vs. Print: Which Requires Deep Reading?
D．Reading Is Not a Race: The Wonder of Deep Reading

It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different elementary schools in and around the small town of 100-Mile House, British Columbia, were warming up and walking the route through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally saw David standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old, with messy red hair. But his usual big toothy grin was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. The only response he gave me was he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! David’s cerebral palsy (脑瘫) prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his peers thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. It just took him longer. He had stubbornly run a total of twenty three kilometres in practice runs to prepare for that day’s two-and-a-half-kilometre run, and he had asked me to come and watch. We sat down together on some steps, but David wouldn’t look at me.
I quietly said, “David, if you don’t want to run today, no one is going to make you. But if you’re not running because you’re afraid someone is going to laugh, that’s not a good enough reason. There will always be someone who will laugh and say mean things. Are you going to let them get in your way? If you really want to run, David, then you run!” I held my breath as David took this in. Then he looked at the field and said, “I’m gonna run.”
The starter’s gun sounded. But he had only gone a few metres before he tripped and fell flat on the ground. My heart sank. As I started to shout encouragement, David picked himself up and started again. All the other runners had disappeared over the hill. But it didn’t matter. He had worked for it, and he wouldn’t give up!
I waited anxiously by the finish line as the most runners completed and another race had begun. Still no David! I started to feel sick. Had I done the wrong thing? Could he have become lost? Finally, a small figure emerged from the forest. David raised his arms in triumph as he crossed the finish line to wild cheers and applause. He caught my eye, flashed me a toothy grin and said, “That was easy!”
20．What made David unable to run like other children?
A．His mental problem. B．His physical condition.
C．His laziness. D．His hesitation.
21．David decided to run because ________.
A．he was encouraged to B．he wanted to be the first
C．he was laughed into doing it D．he knew it was a shorter distance
22．Which of the following can best describe David?
A．Brave and talkative. B．Out-going and kind-hearted.
C．Lively and hard-working. D．Optimistic and strong-willed.
23．By using the phrase “a toothy grin” in the last sentence, the writer intends to tell us about David’s ________.
A．competence in finishing a run B．positive attitude towards life
C．ability to win cheers and applause D．efforts to catch others’ attention



Making use of the wind, the water or, for more than half of all plant species, animals, plants disperse (散播) seeds far and wide. Frugivores — animals such as gibbons that feed on the fleshy fruits of plants — eat and then excrete (排泄) seeds away from the original tree. The African savanna elephant can carry seeds up to a record-breaking distance of 65 kilometres. This ability to shift geographical ranges will be crucial to plants when it comes to surviving climate change. However, just like all gibbon species, the African savanna elephant is endangered, its population down by 60 percent over the past 50 years.
Researchers in Denmark and the USA have published a new study into how the loss of seed-dispersing animals could affect the resilience (恢复力) of forests and other natural ecosystems. According to their research, this loss has already reduced the ability of plants to move in pace with climate change by 60 percent, and in some areas by as much as 95 percent.
Evan Fricke, lead author of the study, explains that in order to reach these results, they pulled together existing data from all previous studies and used machine learning to develop models that could estimate the seed dispersal potential of any animal, even ones that are now extinct.
The researchers found that, historically, the decline of seed-dispersing animals has had the greatest influence on plants across the temperate (温带的) regions of North and South America, Europe and southern Australia. “Our temperate ecosystems have lost a lot of the natural seed-dispersal function that they would have had.” explains Fricke, referring to large mammals that were once widespread in these regions.
Nevertheless, the poor conservation status of many seed-dispersing tropical animals puts plants in regions such as Southeast Asia and Madagascar most at risk today. Without the preservation of such animals, global seed dispersal could decline by a further 15 percent. “The direct implication of this decline is that many plant species will be unable to keep pace with a changing climate,” says Fricke. “That means the potential loss not only of plant biodiversity but of the ecosystem functions that those plants provide.”
As wildlife is lost, plants can no longer adapt and survive and forests become less sustainable, which reduces the amount of carbon they can store. They also lose their ability to support wildlife. Whole ecosystems are disrupted. The conclusion, Fricke says, is clear: we must conserve currently endangered species and restore the populations of important seed dispersers. “Independent of climate change, rewilding has the potential to benefit our ecosystems, but in a changing climate, it has the added benefit of increasing the climate resilience of those ecosystems,” he says.
24．The author mentions the African savanna elephant in Paragraph 1 is to ________.
A．highlight the problem B．predict the ending
C．express an opinion D．provide a solution
25．What does Fricke conclude from the study?
A．plants disperse seeds by way of animals excreting them.
B．rewilding can promote the climate resilience of our ecosystems.
C．seed-dispersing animals could hardly affect the natural ecosystems.
D．the loss of seed-dispersing animals has little influence on temperate regions.
26．Which would be the best title of the passage?
A．The Resilience of Ecosystems
B．The Conservation of Seed-dispersing Animals
C．Animals That Spread Seeds Are Essential — And Under Threat
D．Animals That Spread Seeds Are Endangered — And Well Protected

In 1840, the French painter Paul Delaroche saw the first daguerreotype — an early photographic process — and declared that “from today, painting is dead”. One can understand him feeling threatened by the technology, but we know now he was dead wrong: instead, that year marked the birth of the art of photography.
Throughout history, there’s been fierce debate about the boundary between science and the arts. It continues in the form of the great AI debate. In February this year, the winning photo in an Australian photography competition was created entirely by artificial intelligence; and months earlier, a man used text-to-image software to take out the top prize in the Colorado Art Fair. The software can use billions of online images, identified by digital labelling from innovations like alt text. But the question remains: do AI art generators copy or steal other artists’ work?
“Unlike copying/stealing, there’s also taking inspiration,” artist Koach argues. “This accumulation (积累) of seeing and remembering art from other artists will, at one point, become apparent and trigger inspiration. Isn’t this the machine’s way of ‘taking inspiration’?”
The artistic community seems split. Some celebrate the removal of barriers into the art industry; anyone can be an artist these days. Others are joining class actionis, accusing the tech companies of stealing art without credit, consent or compensation.
As a journalist, I’m fascinated but horrified by the development. Apps like Stable Diffusion, Dall-E and Midjourney can imagine a deserted island in the style of Monet. But if you ask for images of a CEO, it’s generally an older white male. Nurses? Almost all female. While humans are biased (有偏见的), technology is copying the unfairness at scale.
By contrary, Koach is keen to reframe AI art as simply another design tool. “The artist and the technology are intertwined throughout the creative process,” he says. He looks for a hopeful future: “AI art might shift our values away from, ‘Does this image have all the colours, compositions and styles that I want to?” ‘Is this image meaningful or special in some other way?’.”
But if we want to live with this technology, we need to be proactive. Learn about the complexity and bias within AI and keep a close eye on where it’s going. Regulate the industry to protect users and creators. And outsmart the algorithms (算法).
27．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A．The appearance of AI art signals the death of painting.
B．There is still no clear line between science and the arts.
C．Photos created by artificial intelligence are widely favored.
D．AI art generators like text-to-image software are innovative.
28．As for AI art, what would the artist Koach agree with?
A．AI art will change our values about technology.
B．AI art will make everyone an artist in the future.
C．The creation of AI art is inspired by other artists.
D．AI artists are more creative due to the technology.
29．What shows the bias copied by technology?
A．The technology is a threat to traditional artists.
B．Tech companies are stealing other artists’ work
C．Apps can paint a deserted island in Monet’s style.
D．Al has a fixed image of a particular type of person.
30．Regarding the development of AI art, the author suggests .
A．making AI art another art design too
B．taking active steps to control the situation
C．copying Monet’s painting style and works
D．preventing the use of AI in the production of artworks

Give a little sunshine!
The Council on Aging (COA) runs a telephone friendship project called the Sunshine Call Program, matching over-60s with a friendly volunteer for a daily chat over the phone. The aim is simple-to help ease the loneliness and repair social networks.
Sheila, 77, a retired teacher, lived alone. She has been receiving calls from Rianne, a volunteer, for over two months.
“Talking to Rianne is something I really look forward to—a breath of fresh air. We talk about everything—theatre, her work, books we’ve read…Listening to someone else’s life enriches you and gives you something positive to focus on.”
“At the beginning, I had no expectation of how the phone calls would go, but it’s wonderful that it’s led to a genuine friendship. Rianne helps me a lot …”
Are you ready to add a little sunshine to a senior’s life?The Sunshine Call Program initially links a volunteer with an isolated (独居的) senior for a daily call. When comfortable, the volunteer introduces a second senior to the call. Then another, until there are four seniors to one volunteer on what is essentially a conference call. Without having to leave the house, you will help the seniors meet and make new friends. They will then exchange phone numbers to chat on their own and reduce their isolation.
What are the volunteer qualifications?
Volunteers must have access to the Internet and be willing to be trained on the use of a chat app. COA will provide all supplies required to make the calls. Besides, volunteers must agree to participate in monthly meetings with other volunteers and guest speakers. All volunteers must be willing to provide a recent Criminal Record Check, the cost of which will be borne by COA．And the most important volunteer qualification is a sense of caring and a desire to help seniors in the community!

This was the first communication that had come from her aunt in Jessie’s lifetime.
“I think your aunt has forgiven me at last,” her father said as he passed the letter across the table.
Jessie looked first at the autograph(签名). It seemed strange to see her own name there. There was a likeness between her aunt’s autograph and her own, a hint of the same decisiveness and precision. If Jessie had been educated fifty years earlier, she might have written her name in just that manner.
“You’re very like her in some ways,” her father said, as she still stared at the autograph.
“I should think you must almost have forgotten what Aunt Jessie was like, dear,” she said. “How many years is it since you last saw her?”
“More than forty,” her father said. “We disagreed. We invariably disagreed. Jessie always prided herself on being so modern. She read Darwin and things like that. Altogether beyond me, I admit.”
“And so it seems that she wants to see me.” Jessie straightened her shoulders and lifted her head. She was excited at the thought of meeting this mythical aunt whom she had so often heard about. Sometimes she had wondered if the personality of this remarkable relative had not been a figment(虚构) of her father’s imagination.
But this letter of hers that now lay on the breakfast table was admirable in character. There was something of intolerance expressed in its tone. It was just like what her father had told her.
Mr. Deane came out of his past memories with a sigh.
“Yes, yes; she wants to see you, my dear,” he said. “I’ve heard she has set up a school and helped many youngsters. I think you had better accept this invitation to stay with her. If she took a fancy to you, you could get a better education…”
He sighed again, and Jessie knew that for the hundredth time he was regretting his own past weakness...
35．How was the relationship between Jessie’s father and her aunt?
A．It remained very close over the years.
B．It was broken when they were young.
C．It got tenser due to a misunderstanding.
D．It was uneasy for their financial differences.
36．From the passage, we know Jessie was .
A．eager to meet her aunt.
B．cautious about her aunt’s invitation
C．angry with her aunt for ignoring her family.
D．puzzled by her aunt’s sudden interest in her
37．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Jessie’s aunt promised to offer her better education.
B．Jessie’s aunt’s personality seemed to change a lot.
C．Jessie and her aunt were different in personality.
D．Jessie’s father felt sorry for what he had done.

5．推理判断题。根据第一段“A snake-robot designer, a technologist, an extradimensional physicist and a journalist walk into a room. The journalist turns to the crowd and asks: Should we build houses on the ocean? Like a think-tank panel, members of the team dream up far-out answers to the crucial problem, such as self-driving housing units that could park on top of one another in the coastal city center.(一个蛇机器人设计师，一个技术专家，一个超维物理学家和一个记者走进一个房间。记者转向人群问道：我们应该在海洋上盖房子吗？就像一个智库小组一样，该团队的成员为这个关键问题想出了超乎想象的答案，比如可以在沿海城市中心一个接一个停放的自动驾驶住宅单元)”以及第二段“The setting is X, the enterprise which considers more than 100 ideas each year, in areas ranging from clean energy to artificial intelligence. Although only a tiny percentage become “projects” with far-reaching creativity, these projects exist, ultimately, to change the world, like Waymo, the biggest self-driving-car company.(背景是X，这家企业每年会考虑100多个创意，涉及的领域从清洁能源到人工智能。虽然只有一小部分成为具有深远创造力的“项目”，但这些项目的存在最终将改变世界，就像最大的自动驾驶汽车公司Waymo一样)”可知，前两段的主要目的是揭示疯狂想法的重要性。故选C项。
6．推理判断题。根据第四段“Today, we fail to give attention to planting the seeds of this kind of ambitious research, while complaining about the harvest.(今天，我们在抱怨收获的同时，没有注意播下这种雄心勃勃的研究的种子)”和“But the breakthroughs come from patient and curious scientists, not the rush to market(但这些突破来自耐心和好奇的科学家，而不是急于上市)可知”，创新的收获在于一些雄心勃勃的研究。故选A项。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段“As for me, both of them are essential for technology, although they are relatively independent. I don’t think X is a planter or a harvester, actually. It is like building taller ladders. Nobody knows for sure what, if anything, the employees at such enterprises are going to find up on those ladders. But they’re reaching. At least someone is.(对我来说，这两者对于技术来说都是必不可少的，尽管它们相对独立。事实上，我不认为 X 是种植者或者收割者。这就像建造更高的梯子。没有人确切地知道，如果有的话，这些企业的员工会在这些梯子上发现什么。但是他们在努力。至少有人是)”可推知，关于约翰 · 费尔纳德对技术的看法，作者是支持的。故选A项。
8．推理判断题。根据第二段“The setting is X, the enterprise which considers more than 100 ideas each year, in areas ranging from clean energy to artificial intelligence.

12．推理判断题。根据第二段“Decades ago, astrophysicist Carl Sagan famously said, “The universe is also within is. We’re made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself. ” He was commenting then on the reality that our internal universe was as complex and as fantastic as the outer space. (几十年前，天体物理学家卡尔·萨根说过一句名言：“宇宙也在身体之内。”我们是由恒星组成的。我们是宇宙认识自己的一种方式。他当时的评论是，我们的内部宇宙和外太空一样复杂、一样奇妙。)”可知他提出我们的身体像宇宙一样复杂和奇妙，这是一个想法，故选D。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段“Like the technological developments that took us from Galileo’s telescope to the Hubble to the JWST, life science tools have also improved rapidly. From early light microscopes to modern super-resolution ones, these developments have afforded researchers a deep look into biology’s infinitesimal (无限小的) landscape. (就像从伽利略望远镜到哈勃望远镜再到JWST的技术发展一样，生命科学工具也在迅速改进。从早期的光学显微镜到现代的超分辨率显微镜，这些发展使研究人员能够深入观察生物学的微小景观。)”可知就像对宇宙的研究一样，生命科学的研究设施也在不断发展，故选C。
14．推理判断题。根据第四段“Biologists must also characterize how all those parts interact and change in different environments and when faced with various challenges. Being able to image a virus or bacterium is nice at the level of basic science. But knowing how viruses gain entry into cells and spread, infect, and disable can literally save lives. Through time, biology has risen to this mechanistic challenge. Not only can life science tools produce images of cell components, even more importantly, they can help predict the effects of drugs on receptors, of immune cells on foreign invaders (入侵者), and of genetic perturbations (基因干扰) on development and aging. (生物学家还必须描述所有这些部分在不同环境和面临各种挑战时是如何相互作用和变化的。能够对病毒或细菌进行成像在基础科学层面上是很好的。但了解病毒如何进入细胞并传播、感染和致残确实可以挽救生命。随着时间的推移，生物学已经上升到这个机械的挑战。生命科学工具不仅可以生成细胞成分的图像，更重要的是，它们可以帮助预测药物对受体的影响，免疫细胞对外来入侵者的影响，以及基因扰动对发育和衰老的影响。)”可推测生物学家的工作是很实用的，故选A。
15．推理判断题。根据最后一段“My aim is to celebrate these accomplishments while at the same time recognizing that science’s inward search for detail and insight is equally impressive and, in my view, more urgent. (我的目的是庆祝这些成就，同时认识到科学对细节和洞察力的内在探索同样令人印象深刻，在我看来，更加紧迫。)”可知作者认为生命科学要优先发展，故选B。

【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了作者对于慢阅读的看法，指出了慢阅读的重要性和好处，并指出科技不能改变人们对这种深度阅读的需求。
16．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Nor is there anything new in these fears about declining attention spans. So far, the anxieties have proved to be false alarms. “Quite a few critics have been worried about attention span lately and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline,” the American author Selvin Brown wrote. “No one ever said that poems were evidence of short attention spans.”(对注意力持续时间下降的担忧也不是什么新鲜事。到目前为止，焦虑被证明是虚惊一场。美国作家Selvin Brown写道：“相当多的评论家最近开始担心注意力持续时间，他们认为非常短的故事是文化衰落的标志。从来没有人说过诗歌是注意力持续时间短的证据。”)”可推知，作者对Selvin Brown的观点持赞成态度。故选A。
17．细节理解题。根据第三段“And digital writing is meant for rapid release and response. An online article starts forming a comment string underneath as soon as it is published. This mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun. But often it treats other people’s words as something to be quickly harvested as fodder to say something else. Everyone talks over the top of everyone else, desperate to be heard.(数字写作意味着快速释放和反应。一篇在线文章一经发表，就开始在下面形成一个评论字符串。这种写作和阅读的模式可以是互动的和有趣的。但它经常把别人的话当作可以迅速收获的素材，用来说别的东西。每个人都说得比别人多，渴望被别人听到)”可知，作者认同数字写作导致过多的表达，而缺乏足够的思考。故选B。
18．词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“The human need for this kind of deep reading is too”以及后文“for any new technology to destroy”可知，too…to…表示“太……以至于不能……”，即人类对这种深度阅读的需求是如此坚定，任何新技术都无法摧毁。故画线词意思是“坚定的”。故选C。
19．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle has not killed off the printed book any more than the car killed off the bicycle. We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas and carefully-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading.(实际上，旧技术可以与新技术共存。Kindle并没有消灭纸质书，就像汽车没有消灭自行车一样。我们仍然想要享受缓慢形成的思想和精心选择的词语。即使在一个快速发展的时代，也有时间进行慢速阅读)”可知，文章主要论述了作者对于慢阅读的看法，指出了慢阅读的重要性和好处，并指出科技不能改变人们对这种深度阅读的需求。因此A选项“慢阅读将会持续下去”最符合文章标题。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是患有脑瘫的David想要放弃越野跑比赛，但是通过作者的鼓励，David还是坚持参加了比赛，在他冲线的时候，全部人都为他感到高兴。
20．细节理解题。根据第二段的“David’s cerebral palsy (脑瘫) prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his peers thought of him as a regular kid.”(大卫的脑瘫使他不能像其他孩子一样走路或跑步，但在学校，他的同学们都认为他是一个普通的孩子。)可知，大卫患有脑瘫，因此可知，他的身体状况不允许他像其他孩子一样走路和跑步。故选B。
21．推理判断题。根据第三段的“I quietly said, “David, if you don’t want to run today, no one is going to make you. But if you’re not running because you’re afraid someone is going to laugh, that’s not a good enough reason. There will always be someone who will laugh and say mean things. Are you going to let them get in your way? If you really want to run, David, then you run!” I held my breath as David took this in. Then he looked at the field and said, “I’m gonna run.”
”(我平静地说:“大卫，如果你今天不想参加跑步，没有人会强迫你的。但如果你不是因为害怕别人会笑话而跑步，那就不是一个足够好的理由。总会有人嘲笑你，说些刻薄的话。你要让他们挡你的路吗?如果你真的想跑，大卫，那就跑吧!”当大卫理解这些时，我屏住了呼吸。然后他看着球场说:“我要跑。”)可推断，在作者的鼓励下，大卫决定跑。故选A。
22．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The starter’s gun sounded. But he had only gone a few metres before he tripped and fell flat on the ground. My heart sank. As I started to shout encouragement, David picked himself up and started again. All the other runners had disappeared over the hill. But it didn’t matter. He had worked for it, and he wouldn’t give up!(枪响了。但他只走了几米就绊倒了，倒在地上。我的心沉了下来。当我开始大声鼓励时，大卫站了起来，又开始了。所有其他的跑步者都消失在山上去了。但这并不重要。他为此努力了，他不会放弃！)”可推断，大卫摔倒后继续站起来跑步，说明他是意志坚强的，再根据倒数第一段的“Finally, a small figure emerged from the forest. David raised his arms in triumph as he crossed the finish line to wild cheers and applause. He caught my eye, flashed me a toothy grin and said, “That was easy!”(最后，一个小人影从森林里冒了出来。在疯狂的欢呼和掌声中，大卫冲过终点线，胜利地举起了双臂。他吸引了我的目光，向我咧嘴一笑，说：“这很容易！”)”可推断，大卫是乐观积极的。故选D。
23．推理判断题。根据倒数第一段的“Finally, a small figure emerged from the forest. David raised his arms in triumph as he crossed the finish line to wild cheers and applause. He caught my eye, flashed me a toothy grin and said, “That was easy!”(最后，一个小人影从森林里冒了出来。在疯狂的欢呼和掌声中，大卫冲过终点线，胜利地举起了双臂。他吸引了我的目光，向我咧嘴一笑，说：“这很容易！”)”可知，大卫最终冲过了重点线，完成了跑步比赛，朝作者咧嘴笑，并说跑步是容易的，说明大卫完成了跑步是高兴的，说跑步是容易的，说明大卫对生活积极乐观，因此推断作者通过说大卫“咧嘴笑”，是为了告诉我们大卫对生活的积极的态度。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过研究讲述了传播种子的动物是必不可少的，对生态系统有益，但是这些动物目前处于危险中。
24．推理判断题。根据第一段的“The African savanna elephant can carry seeds up to a record-breaking distance of 65 kilometres. This ability to shift geographical ranges will be crucial to plants when it comes to surviving climate change. However, just like all gibbon species, the African savanna elephant is endangered, its population down by 60 percent over the past 50 years.(非洲热带草原大象可以携带种子长到65公里。这种改变地理范围的能力对植物对气候变化的生存至关重要。然而，就像所有的长臂猿物种一样，非洲热带稀树草原象也濒临灭绝，它的数量在过去的50年里减少了60%)”和第二段内容“Researchers in Denmark and the USA have published a new study into how the loss of seed-dispersing animals could affect the resilience (恢复力) of forests and other natural ecosystems. According to their research, this loss has already reduced the ability of plants to move in pace with climate change by 60 percent, and in some areas by as much as 95 percent.(丹麦和美国的研究人员发表了一项新的研究，研究了种子传播动物的丢失如何影响森林和其他自然生态系统的恢复力。根据他们的研究，这种损失已经使植物适应气候变化的能力下降了60%，在一些地区降低了95%)”可知，非洲热带稀树草原象可以长距离携带植物种子，改变地理范围，但是目前濒临灭绝，第二段讲述了研究表明种子传播动物的丢失影响森林和其他自然生态系统的恢复力，使得植物适应气候变化的能力下降。由此推知，提到非洲热带草原象是为了强调问题。故选A。
25．细节理解题。根据最后一段的““Independent of climate change, rewilding has the potential to benefit our ecosystems, but in a changing climate, it has the added benefit of increasing the climate resilience of those ecosystems,” he says.(“不受气候变化的影响，野生化有可能有利于我们的生态系统，但在气候变化中，它的好处是提高这些生态系统的气候恢复力，”他说)”可知，Fricke从研究中得出野生化可以促进我们的生态系统的气候恢复力。故选B。
26．主旨大意题。第二段内容“Researchers in Denmark and the USA have published a new study into how the loss of seed-dispersing animals could affect the resilience (恢复力) of forests and other natural ecosystems. According to their research, this loss has already reduced the ability of plants to move in pace with climate change by 60 percent, and in some areas by as much as 95 percent.(丹麦和美国的研究人员发表了一项新的研究，研究了种子传播动物的丢失如何影响森林和其他自然生态系统的恢复力。根据他们的研究，这种损失已经使植物适应气候变化的能力下降了60%，在一些地区降低了95%)”和第四段的“Nevertheless, the poor conservation status of many seed-dispersing tropical animals puts plants in regions such as Southeast Asia and Madagascar most at risk today. Without the preservation of such animals, global seed dispersal could decline by a further 15 percent.(然而，如今许多散布种子的热带动物的保护状况不佳，使东南亚和马达加斯加等地区的植物处于危险中。如果不保护这类动物，全球的种子传播可能会进一步下降15%)”以及下文内容可知，文章主要讲述传播种子的动物是必不可少的，对生态系统有益，但是这些动物目前处于危险中。由此可知，C项“传播种子的动物是必不可少的——受到威胁”为最佳标题。故选C。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。随着科技发展，人工智能在绘画方面的能力更多地获得了人们的认可。然而，如果我们想与这种技术共存，我们需要积极主动，了解人工智能的复杂性和偏见，并密切关注它的发展方向。
27．推理判断题。根据第二段中“In February this year, the winning photo in an Australian photography competition was created entirely by artificial intelligence; and months earlier, a man used text-to-image software to take out the top prize in the Colorado Art Fair. (今年2月，澳大利亚摄影比赛的获奖照片完全是由人工智能创造的；几个月前，一名男子使用文本到图像的软件在科罗拉多艺术博览会上摘得头奖)”可推知，由人工智能创造的的图片是广受大家喜欢的。故选C。
28．推理判断题。根据第三段中““Unlike copying/stealing, there’s also taking inspiration,” artist Koach argues. “This accumulation (积累) of seeing and remembering art from other artists will, at one point, become apparent and trigger inspiration. Isn’t this the machine’s way of ‘taking inspiration’?” ( “与抄袭/偷窃不同，这里还有灵感的获取，”艺术家科奇认为。“从其他艺术家那里看到和记住艺术的这种积累，一定程度上会变得明显，并触发灵感。这难道不是机器‘获取灵感’的方式吗？”)”可推知，对于AI艺术，艺术家Koach会同意AI艺术的创作是受到其他艺术家的启发。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“As a journalist, I’m fascinated but horrified by the development. Apps like Stable Diffusion, Dall-E and Midjourney can imagine a deserted island in the style of Monet. But if you ask for images of a CEO, it’s generally an older white male. Nurses? Almost all female. While humans are biased (有偏见的), technology is copying the unfairness at scale. (作为一名记者，我对事态的发展既感兴趣又感到震惊。像Stable Diffusion、Dall-E和Midjourney这样的应用程序可以想象出一个莫奈风格的荒岛。但如果你想要一张 CEO 的照片，通常是一位年长的白人男性。护士呢？几乎都是女性。尽管人类存在偏见，但技术正在大规模复制这种不公平现象)”可知，人工智能对某一特定人物的形象是固定的。故选D。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段“But if we want to live with this technology, we need to be proactive. Learn about the complexity and bias within AI and keep a close eye on where it’s going. Regulate the industry to protect users and creators. And outsmart the algorithms (算法). (但是，如果我们想与这种技术共存，我们需要积极主动。了解人工智能的复杂性和偏见，并密切关注它的发展方向。规范行业以保护用户和创造者。而且比算法更聪明)”可知，对于AI艺术的发展，笔者建议采取积极的措施来控制局面。故选B。
