[2023·全国甲卷，D]Grizzly bears, which may grw t abut 2.5 m lng and weigh ver 400 kg, ccupy a cnflicted crner f the American psyche—we revere (敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the turists frm arund the wrld that fld int Yellwstne Natinal Park what they mst hpe t see, and their answer is ften the same: a grizzly bear.
“Grizzly bears are re­ccupying large areas f their frmer range，” says bear bilgist Chris Servheen. As grizzly bears expand their range int places where they haven't been seen in a century r mre, they're increasingly being sighted by humans.
The western half f the U．S. was full f grizzlies when Eurpeans came, with a rugh number f 50，000 r mre living alngside Native Americans. By the early 1970s, after centuries f cruel and cntinuus hunting by settlers, 600 t 800 grizzlies remained n a mere 2 percent f their frmer range in the Nrthern Rckies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Tday, there are abut 2，000 r mre grizzly bears in the U．S. Their recvery has been s successful that the U．S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted t de­list grizzlies, which wuld lsen legal prtectins and allw them t be hunted. Bth effrts were verturned due t lawsuits frm cnservatin grups. Fr nw, grizzlies remain listed.
Obviusly, if precautins (预防) aren't taken, grizzlies can becme trublesme, smetimes killing farm animals r walking thrugh yards in search f fd. If peple remve fd and attractants frm their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by withut truble. Putting electric fencing arund chicken huses and ther farm animal quarters is als highly effective at getting grizzlies away. “Our hpe is t have a clean, attractant­free place where bears can pass thrugh withut learning bad habits，” says James Jnkel, lngtime bilgist wh manages bears in and arund Missula.
4．Hw d Americans lk at grizzlies?
A．They cause mixed feelings in peple. B．They shuld be kept in natinal parks.
C．They are f high scientific value. D．They are a symbl f American culture.
5．What has helped the increase f the grizzly ppulatin?
A．The Eurpean settlers' behavir. B．The expansin f bears' range.
C．The prtectin by law since 1975. D．The supprt f Native Americans.
6．What has stpped the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service frm de­listing grizzlies?
A．The ppsitin f cnservatin grups. B．The successful cmeback f grizzlies.
C．The vice f the bilgists. D．The lcal farmers' advcates.
7．What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A．Fd shuld be prvided fr grizzlies. B．Peple can live in harmny with grizzlies.
C．A special path shuld be built fr grizzlies. D．Technlgy can be intrduced t prtect grizzlies.

There are many different types f huses in the UK. Yu may see detached, semi­detached, terraced (排屋的) huses r even end­f­terrace huses n a typical street. Yu might see apartments in wealthier parts f twn, r peple living in bungalws, preferring t live a life withut stairs. Strange cttages may dt the cuntryside, while heading t the cities yu culd see any number f types f flats，including huses turned int flats, studis and duplexes (复式公寓). But ne thing yu will ntice is that many huses cme frm different eras, and asking the British abut their ideal hme，many f them will have a specific perid prperty (特性) in mind.
Fr sme, it culd be Victrian huses，which are ften seen with bay windws, high ceilings, stained glass drs and clred brickwrk. During the Victrian era, a huge number f huses, particularly terraced, were built in twns and cities t accmmdate vast numbers f wrkers wh were mving frm mre rural areas.
Gergian architecture refers t huses built during the perid f 1714 and 1830 during the rule f fur British mnarchs. Usually huses with this architectural style have a mre symmetrical theme, bth internally and externally, with a small square garden in frnt. Fr thse nt int lder prperties, new buildings frm the 1990s nwards ffer better insulatin (隔热，绝缘) against the cld and newer electrics. And thse wh prefer less repairs culd always g with the pen­plan r minimalist lk f the mdern era.
S, whether it's high ceilings, better insulatin, brickwrk, bungalws r square gardens, peple in Britain have a wide variety f preferences when it cmes t where they live. And their ideal hme may just simply be a case f what style feels like hme.

[2023·福州市高三质检]When I stepped int the Samcheng Park Library in Seul, I saw the future. The simple building had a nice selectin f bks and a cafe where readers culd enjy cffee while gazing at the leaves utside. It was specifically designed withut any latest technlgy.
“What's s innvative abut that？” a librarian in Trnt asked when I shwed her pictures. Innvatin t her meant digital technlgy, like 3D printers.“Why culdn't they bth be innvative？” I asked.
We are cnstantly tld that innvatin is the mst imprtant frce in ur ecnmy, withut which we wuld be left behind. But that fear f missing ut has led us t fall int the false traps f innvatin ver truly innvative ideas that may be simpler and mre effective. This mindset implies that if yu just buy the new thing, yu have innvated! Each year, businesses and individuals run arund like brken ty rbts, trying t figure ut their strategy fr the latest buzzwrd equipment.
At best, this is a waste f resurces. Devices are bught, used and abandned, as the technlgy's capabilities fall shrt f its prmise. But at its wrst, this apprach can truly cause damage. Schls cut field trips t purchase tablets with few prven benefits. Cmpanies that applied AI t hiring have actually strengthened gender and racial prejudices.
True innvatin isn't just sme magic devices. It is a cntinuing prcess f reflectin and reassessment, which ften means adpting “ld” ideas and tls in a new cntext, r even returning t methds that wrked in the past. Adjusted prperly, these rearview (后视的) innvatins have prved as transfrmative as nvel technlgies.
Lk n farther than the streets f New Yrk, which have been redesigned recently t accmmdate cyclists with car­free znes. The idea isn't new. It was created half a century ag, with the aim f bringing cities back t their residents. And while e­reader sales have been explding, Penguin just annunced it wuld publish tiny printed bks, an ideal slutin fr a market demanding bth cnvenience and practicability.
12．Why is a librarian mentined?
A．T set an example. B．T cite an authrity.
C．T make a predictin. D．T present an argument.
13．What des the underlined wrd “buzzwrd” mean in Para. 3?
A．Fashinable. B．Affrdable. C．Practical. D．Imaginative.
14．What des the writer agree with abut innvatin?
A．Wasted resurces lead t innvatin. B．Magic devices encurage innvatin.
C．Innvatin shuld be human­centered. D．The pwer f technlgy is undervalued.
15．What is prbably the best title f the text?
A．Innvatin Is Nt That Expensive B．The Future Lies in Returning t the Past
C．Sme Best Ideas Are in the Rearview Mirrr D．Innvatin: The Mst Imprtant Frce in Ecnmy

【文章大意】 讲述了美国灰熊从濒危物种恢复到2 000多头，但也带来了一些问题。
4．答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Grizzly bears, which may grw t abut 2.5 m lng and weigh ver 400 kg, ccupy a cnflicted crner f the American psyche—we revere them even as they give us frightening dreams. （灰熊可以长到2.5米长，体重超过400公斤，在美国人的心理中占据着一个矛盾的角落——即使它们给我们带来可怕的梦，我们也敬畏它们）”可知，美国人对灰熊既有害怕，又有敬畏，他们的情感是混合的。故选A项。

Their recvery has been s successful that the U．S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted t de­list grizzlies, which wuld lsen legal prtectins and allw them t be hunted. （如今，美国大约有2 000只或更多的灰熊。它们的恢复非常成功，以至于美国鱼类和野生动物管理局两次试图将灰熊从名单上除名，这将放松对灰熊的法律保护，允许它们被猎杀）”可推知，由于1975年起受法律保护，灰熊的数量有了增长。故选C项。

7．答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Obviusly, if precautins aren't taken, grizzlies can becme trublesme, smetimes killing farm animals r walking thrugh yards in search f fd. If peple remve fd and attractants frm their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by withut truble.

10．答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据第二、三段描述可知，文中介绍了维多利亚时代的房子和乔治王朝时期的房子，以及20世纪90年代的房子；再结合第四段中的“peple in Britain have a wide variety f preferences when it cmes t where they live”可知，英国人对房子有着广泛的偏好。故A项正确。

【文章大意】 作者由自己在首尔一家图书馆的经历引出什么是真正的创新这一话题，并通过论证告诉大家：真正的创新是不断反思、重新评估，是将传统的方法、工具应用到新的环境当中。
12．答案与解析：D 写作意图题。结合第一段可知，作者认为Samcheng Park Library传统复古的做法具有创新性，并将这张照片拿给多伦多的一位图书馆馆长欣赏，对方不以为然，于是，作者通过反问提出了自己的论点“难道复古的图书馆和智能设备不都是创新吗？”，故D项正确。
13．答案与解析：A 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“This mindset implies that if yu just buy the new thing，yu have innvated！”可知，错误的创新观认为购买新的东西即是创新；再结合第五段中的“nvel technlgies”可知，此处讲到的最新的设备应该是新潮的、时尚的设备，故A项与画线词的意义最为接近。此外，从做题的角度来讲，本题也可用排除法，将干扰项代入原文一一排除。
14．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“with the and practicability”可以推断，作者认同创新应该是以人为本的这个观点，故C项正确。
15．答案与解析：C 主旨大意题。本文为议论文，根据本文论点“Why culdn't they （the Samcheng Park Library and digital technlgy） bth be innvative？”和倒数第二段中的“these rearview（后视的）innvatins have prved as transfrmative as nvel technlgies”可知，本文主要讲述了后视的新发明和新技术一样具有变革性，故C项“一些最好的点子在后视镜里”最适合作本文标题。
