【题型应对策略】
一、选材特点、文体特征和命题特点
新闻报道的第一句往往为全文的中心句(tpicsentence)，因此在这个句子中主要讲清what(事件)，when(时间)，where(地点)和wh(人物)，而在下文则要补充事件的过程和细节，往往包括why(目的或原因)和hw(具体过程)等。新闻报道的一些常用语包括Itisreprtedthat...，Asisreprted...，Accrdingtthereprt...，Itisestimatedthat...等。新闻报道亦为记叙文，时态一般要用过去时；主句、从句结构清晰，语言客观平实，往往没有过分花哨的词汇和过于复杂的句型。主要具有以下特点：
二、新闻报道应对策略
新闻报道主要是提供事实信息，一般是简单叙述事件发生的五要素，事件经过和各方反应，很少去探究事件背后深层次的原因。新闻报道的体裁主要有消息、通讯，通常采用记叙的方式来讲清事实(即时间、地点、人物、事件、原因)，强调用事实说话，注重准确客观。因此，做题时要关注新闻报道的结构和细节。具体答题策略如下：

Gffin’s cckats, a kind f small parrt native t Australasia, have been shwn t have similar shape-recgnitin abilities t a human tw-year-ld. Thugh nt knwn t use tls in the wild, the birds have prved skilful at tl use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cckats were presented with a bx with a nut inside it. The clear frnt f the bx had a “keyhle” in a gemetric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped “keys” t chse frm. Inserting the crrect “key” wuld let ut the nut.
In humans, babies can put a rund shape in a rund hle frm arund ne year f age, but it will be anther year befre they are able t d the same with less symmetrical (对称的) shapes. This ability t recgnize that a shape will need t be turned in a specific directin befre it will fit is called an “allcentric frame f reference”. In the experiment, Gffin’s cckats were able t select the right tl fr the jb, in mst cases, by visual recgnitin alne. Where trial-and-errr was used, the cckats did better than mnkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Gffin’s cckats d indeed pssess an allcentric frame f reference when mving bjects in space, similar t tw-year-ld babies.
The next step, accrding t the researchers, is t try and wrk ut whether the cckats rely entirely n visual clues (线索), r als use a sense f tuch in making their shape selectins.
24. Hw did the cckats get the nut frm the bx in the experiment?
A. By fllwing instructins.B. By using a tl.
C. By turning the bx arund.D. By remving the lid.
25. Which task can human ne-year-lds mst likely cmplete accrding t the text?
A. Using a key t unlck a dr.B. Telling parrts frm ther birds.
C. Putting a ball int a rund hle.D. Gruping tys f different shapes.
26. What des the fllw-up test aim t find ut abut the cckats?
A. Hw far they are able t see.B. Hw they track mving bjects.
C. Whether they are smarter than mnkeys.D. Whether they use a sense f tuch in the test.
27. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Cckats: Quick Errr CheckersB. Cckats: Independent Learners
C. Cckats: Clever Signal-ReadersD. Cckats: Skilful Shape-Srters

As data and identity theft becmes mre and mre cmmn, the market is grwing fr bimetric(生物测量) technlgies—like fingerprint scans—t keep thers ut f private e-spaces. At present, these technlgies are still expensive, thugh.
Researchers frm Gergia Tech say that they have cme up with a lw-cst device(装置) that gets arund this prblem: a smart keybard. This smart keybard precisely measures the cadence (节奏) with which ne types and the pressure fingers apply t each key. The keybard culd ffer a strng layer f security by analyzing things like the frce f a user's typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique t each persn. Thus, the keybard can determine peple's identities, and by extensin, whether they shuld be given access t the cmputer it's cnnected t—regardless f whether smene gets the passwrd right.
It als desn't require a new type f technlgy that peple aren't already familiar with. Everybdy uses a keybard and everybdy types differently.
In a study describing the technlgy, the researchers had 100 vlunteers type the wrd “tuch” fur times using the smart keybard. Data cllected frm the device culd be used t recgnize different participants based n hw they typed, with very lw errr rates. The researchers say that the keybard shuld be pretty straightfrward t cmmercialize and is mstly made f inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hpes t make it t market in the near future.
28. Why d the researchers develp the smart keybard?
A. T reduce pressure n keys. B. T imprve accuracy in typing
C. T replace the passwrd system. D. T cut the cst f e-space prtectin.
29. What makes the inventin f the smart keybard pssible?
A. Cmputers are much easier t perate.B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develp fast.
C. Typing patterns vary frm persn t persn. D. Data security measures are guaranteed.
30. What d the researchers expect f the smart keybard?
A. It'll be envirnment-friendly. B. It'll reach cnsumers sn.
C. It'll be made f plastics. D. It'll help speed up typing.

The 2023 Nbel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded t Mungi G. Bawendi f Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy, Luis E. Brus f Clumbia University, and Alexei I. Ekimv f Nancrystals Technlgy Inc. in New Yrk fr the discvery and develpment f quantum dts (量子点).
The three scientists each cntributed t a fundamental discvery, accrding t fficials frm the Ryal Swedish Academy f Sciences, which awards several f the prizes each year. The wrk they’ve dne has already led t new technlgy in televisin screens and bi-imaging.
Reached by phne during a press cnference early Wednesday mrning, Bawendi ffered a stream f reactins: “Shcked. Sleepy. Very unexpected. And very hnred.”
In a rare event, the winners’ names were leaked t the Swedish media befre the fficial annuncement. But Bawendi said he’d been sund asleep, s he didn’t hear anything abut it.
Quantum dts are particles (粒子) that are s incredibly small that their size actually starts t affect their prperties. Fr example, blue quantum dts and red quantum dts can be made frm the exact same material, with the nly difference being the size f the particle itself. (The blue quantum dts are smaller than red nes.)
In fact, changing the size can alter (改变) many different prperties beynd just clr, which means that quantum dts culd be useful fr a variety f applicatins, including building better slar panels and perhaps even creating fuel by using sunlight.
The three scientists will share the prize mney f 11 millin Swedish krnr (clse t$995,000) in equal parts. This is the third science-fcused Nbel Prize t be awarded this week. On Tuesday, the physics prize was awarded t Anne L’ Huillier, Pierre Agstini and Ferenc Krausz. And n Mnday, Katalin Karik and Drew Weissman wn the prize in physilgy r medicine.

The same area where the Wright brthers develped the first airplane will sn see electric planes that take ff and land vertically (垂直地). The planes, called “flying taxis” will be prduced under an agreement between the state f Ohi and Jby Aviatin at Daytn Internatinal Airprt.
Jby Aviatin is a 14-year-ld cmpany that went public in 2021 and became the first electric vertical takeff and landing (eVTOL) firm t receive a special kind f permissin frm the US Air Frce. Its prductin effrts are supprted by partnerships with Tyta, Delta Air Lines, Intel and Uber.
Ohi Gvernr Mike DeWine tld The Assciated Press, “When yu’re talking abut air taxis, that’s the future.”
Develpers say the planes are nearing the day when they will prvide a way t mve individual peple r small grups frm the tp f buildings and parking spaces t their destinatins.
Arund the wrld, eVTOL. aircrafts r flying taxis are becming mre cmmn. Still, questins remain abut nise levels and charging demands.
Engineers designed Jby’s prductin aircraft t transprt a pilt and fur passengers at the speed f up t 321.87 kilmeters per hur. The aircraft can cver a distance f up t 160. 93 kilmeters. It is a quiet machine that can barely be heard in mst cities, the cmpany said. The plan is t place them in aerial ride sharing netwrks beginning in 2025.

The best advertisement fr public transprtatin is seeing a bus whsh past lines f cars stuck in traffic. When transit is cnvenient, cmfrtable, affrdable and faster than driving, the service practically sells itself. That’s why a recent bus-lane bm in Ls Angeles is s welcme.

Manchester City are the current champins f the English Premier League, and nw they’re champining the cause f landfill waste by ffering edible (可食用的) cffee and tea cups at their 55,000 seater Etihad Stadium.

“It is the first time that an ‘edible cffee cup’ has been intrduced. This fantastic and innvative slutin prvides an amazing slutin t waste, just eat yur cup,“ reads a statement frm the Etihad Stadium.
The cup is made by a Scttish startup called BiBite, and is essentially a 100-calrie biscuit in the shape f a cup. Made with wafer (薄脆饼) in much the same way as an ice cream cne，the cup will stay leak-prf fr 12 hurs, and even mre amazingly, crunchy fr ne-half the duratin f a “ftball” match.

But it has als sparked a massive debate ver the meaning f art, with Allen facing accusatins that he had been deceiving with smething he asked a machine t create.

Only a “clud” away is hw residents at the Dzilam reserve in Mexic think f the distance between Latin America and China, despite their gegraphical remteness.
The “clud” isn’t the ne hanging up in the sky. What the residents refer t is in fact clud technlgy, which has been applied t wildlife cnservatin in this Mexican reserve.
In recent years, with clud technlgy, technicians and eclgists frm China and its trans-Pacific partners have been able t wrk hand in hand under the Belt and Rad Initiative t prtect endangered species and their habitats in Mexic.
Hme t many endangered species in Mexic, the Dzilam reserve, knwn fr its bidiversity-rich habitats, has started t witness ecsystem degradatin (衰退) ver the years due t human activities and climate change. In 2002, the jaguar, the nly big cat left in the reserve, was listed as “Near Threatened” n the IUCN Red List.
Lcal cmmunities and envirnmentalists have tried t track the habitat f jaguars, but have fund it rather difficult: These animals are ften hidden in vast frests, rarely leaving bvius traces, making it hard t bserve them under natural cnditins.
T better prtect wild animals and bidiversity, the Tech4Nature Mexic prject was launched in the Dzilam reserve. The prject cllects vide data frm cameras recrding 24 hurs a day in the Dzilam reserve t mnitr the bidiversity f the area and uses acustic (声学的) technlgy t understand the existence f species and the health f ecsystems. The research team wuld use Huawei’s Al mdel t identify the areas where the big cat appeared by identifying sunds, studying their living habits and develping management plans t prtect the species. In additin, when a threat is detected, the system immediately sends a real-time alarm with the lcatin t lcal frest guards thrugh an app fr rapid interventin.
Frm September 2022 t May 2023, lcal experts, with the help f Huawei Clud, have identified 119 species in the Dzilam reserve, including 88 species f birds, 22 species f mammals, five species f reptiles and fur species f amphibians, f which 34 species are n the IUCN Red List f Threatened Species. They have als sptted at least five jaguars in the reserve.
Omelia Trej, a resident f the Dzilam cmmunity, said their dream is “prtecting jaguars fr a lifetime,” but they wrried that in the future, children might nly see jaguars in phts. “Thanks t this prject, ur dream has cme true.”

Belgian researchers tested 39 straw brands frm restaurants and retailers fr synthetic (人工合成的) chemicals knwn as ply and perfluralkyl substances (PFAS). The study fund that the majrity f straws cntained thse chemicals, but they were mst cmmn in thse made frm paper and bamb. The chemicals are referred t as “frever chemicals” as they can remain fr thusands f years in the envirnment. The chemicals have been assciated with health issues like liver damage r kidney cancer and can harm the envirnment as well.
Of the brands tested, 90% f the paper straws cntained PFAS, cmpared t 80% f bamb straws, 75% f plastic straws and 40% f glass straws. Nne f the steel straws cntained the chemicals. The study was published in the peer-reviewed jurnal Fd Additives and Cntaminants. Researchers stressed that PFAS cncentratin was lw and psed a limited risk t health, given that peple use such straws nly ccasinally. But they can remain in the bdy fr years, and cncentratins can build up, they said in a release.
“Straws made frm plant-based materials, such as paper and bamb, are ften advertised as being mre sustainable and ec-friendly than thse made frm plastic,” researcher Dr. Thim Grffen, an envirnmental scientist at the University f Antwerp, said in a statement. “Hwever, the presence f PFAS in these straws means that’s nt necessarily true.”
It wasn’t clear whether the chemicals were added by manufacturers r ccurred due t cntaminatin (污染) frm sil and water during manufacturing. The study did nt lk int whether the straws culd cntaminate liquids.
“The presence f PFAS in paper and bamb straws shws that they are nt necessarily bidegradable,” Grffen said. “We did nt detect any PFAS in stainless steel straws, s I wuld advise cnsumers t use this type f straw — r just avid using straws at all.”
The study cmes as Eurpean cuntries, and sme parts f the U.S., have pushed t shift away frm plastic straws t alternatives in effrts t be mre envirnmentally friendly. States including Califrnia and New Yrk have enfrced bans n single-use plastic straws in restaurants.

One culd als say it’s lst because less than 2 percent f the riginal ld-grwth redwds there survived lgging decades ag. Nw the 10 tribes that frmed the unin are wrking t prtect and preserve their sacred land. David Brindley, the interim editr f Natinal Gegraphic, asked Hunter hw they were accmplishing that. “We’re just letting it heal. It takes a lng time t heal an area that has been cut and cut,“ ”she tld him, “Peple are saying: ‘What are yu guys ding with it?’’ Letting it heal.’”
Their effrts have gained attentin. Last December the Save the Redwds League(SRL), an established nnprfit rganizatin, gave the cuncil 523 acres f Califrnia castal frest. The frest, named as Tcíh-Léh-Dûñ-meaning “fish run place” in the Sinkyne language, includes nearly 200 acres f ld-grwth redwds. “We were really pleased t have a place that still has sme f the ancient trees. S the critters will have a place t be safe-the fish and birds and all that,” said Hunter.
The Sinkyne cuncil is just ne example f hw indigenus peples, in cmmunities acrss the United States and Canada, are taking cntrl f their land, laws, and fate.
Basing n the abve, Brindley wrte this mnth’s cver stry “We Are Here”. It explred hw native natins are reclaiming their svereignty and rebuilding their cultures.

Traditinal tea prcessing techniques and their scial practices in China were added t UNESCO’s List f the Intangible Cultural Heritage f Humanity n Nvember 29th, 2022. This is the 43rd entry frm China n the List. Therefre, China’s list tps all ther cuntries.
In fact, what is n the List is nt Chinese tea, but the knwledge, skills and practices cncerning management f tea plantatins, picking f tea leaves, and the prcessing, drinking and sharing f tea.
Over 2,000 tea varieties, mainly in six categries, which are green, black, yellw, lng, white and dark, are grwn in China. Althugh the types differ, the skills f making tea are very similar. They include inactivatin (杀青), yellwing, piling, withering (萎凋), leaves shaking, cling, fermentatin (发酵) and scenting.
Accrding t UNESCO, in China traditinal tea prcessing techniques are clsely assciated with gegraphical lcatin and natural envirnment. The techniques are mainly fund in the prvinces and autnmus regins f Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Hunan, Anhui, Hubei, Henan, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Guizhu, Sichuan, Fujian, Guangdng and Guangxi.

【30】（2023·四川南充·模拟预测）
Mst peple hate msquites — but scientists are abut t build a “msquit factry” t release mdified (改良的) msquites.
The mdified msquites carry a bacterium called Wlbachia pipientis (沃尔巴克氏菌), which can be naturally fund in mst insect species. Hwever, it’s rarely discvered in msquites. “We actually grw these msquites that cntain the bacterium,” Sctt O’Neill, an Australian scientist invlved in the prject, tld CBC News. When the mdified msquites are released, they slwly spread the bacterium t the ppulatin.
Several studies have demnstrated the insects’ success. Fr example, a cntrlled experiment in Indnesia shwed that the mdified insect helped reduce the cases f the disease dengue (登革热) by 77 percent, accrding t a study paper published in 2021.
The Wrld Msquit Prgram has annunced that it will release mdified msquites in many f Brazil’s urban areas ver the next 10 years. The aim is t prtect up t 70 millin peple frm diseases such as dengue, an infectius disease mainly spread by msquites.
Brazil has ne f the highest rates f dengue infectin in the wrld, accrding t the Nature website. “Mre than 1,000 peple died f dengue in 2022 because f the spread f msquites. It’s ging everywhere,” Lucian Mreira, a scientist in Ri de Janeir, Brazil, tld CBC News.
Anther way t prevent msquites frm spreading diseases is by prducing genetically mdified msquites (GM). In 2022, the US Envirnmental Prtectin Agency cleared the release f 2.4 billin GM msquites in Califrnia and Flrida.
Accrding t the agency, GM msquites carry tw types f genes: a self-limiting gene that prevents female ffspring (后代) frm surviving t adulthd; and a marker gene that allws researchers t identify GM nes in the wild. After being released, GM msquites lay eggs, s the genes are passed n t ffspring. In this way, the number f female msquites is reduced, therefre reducing the chance f spreading disease.
117. What is the final purpse f building the “msquit factry”?
A. T prevent the spread f msquit-brne diseases.
B. T prduce massive msquites fr scientific research.
C. T study the behavir f msquites in different envirnments.
D. T replace the natural msquit ppulatin with a mdified ne.
118. What is the functin f Paragraph 5 in the text?
A. It states challenges facing the prgram.B. It prvides the backgrund t the prgram.
C. It shws the expected effect f the prgram.D. It indicates an pinin n the annuncement.
119. Hw des the self-limiting gene in genetically mdified msquites wrk?
A. By limiting their ability t lay eggs.B. By making them immune t disease.
C. By reducing their ffspring’s lifespans.D. By allwing them t be easily identified.
120. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Releasing GM MsquitesB. Reducing Dengue in Brazil
C. Experimenting n Mdified InsectsD. Mdifying Infectius Msquites
