Different frests in the western United States have unique cmbinatins f trees and birds. One type has brad-leaved trees like ash and cttnwd, alng with kingbirds. Anher type has evergreen trees like pine and white spruce, alng with juncs. Eclgists in the early twentieth century nce claimed these eclgical cmmunities were precisely balanced systems, where every species had a specific rle t play in a cmplex machine. They believed that remving r adding any plant, bird, r insect, culd disrupt this balance and harm the habitat. One f these pineer eclgists was Frederick Clements, wh believed that in a specific climate area, eclgical cmmunities gradually mved tward the mst balanced and integrated grup f species in that regin.
Clements was challenged by anther pineer eclgist, Henry Gleasn, wh tk the ppsite view. Gleasn viewed the cmmunity as largely a grup f species with similar tlerances t the stresses given by climate and ther factrs typical f the regin. Gleasn thught chance played a big rle in where species lived. His cncept suggests that nature is nt highly integrated. Each species is respnding individually t its surrundings. Gleasn thught things culd change in different ways, depending upn lcal cnditins.
Wh was right? It nw appears that Gleasn was mre accurate than Clements. The eclgical cmmunity is mstly a randm cllectin f species with similar respnses t a particular climate. Ash trees are fund in assciatin with cttnwd trees because bth can survive well n fldplains and the cmpetitin between them is nt s strng that nly ne can survive.
This is nt t say that precise harmnies are nt present within cmmunities. Mst flwering plants rely n pllinatrs (传粉者). But if we see a precise balance f nature, it is largely a prduct f ur perceptin, due t the false belief that nature, especially a cmplex system like a frest, seems s unchanging frm ne day t the next.
8. Early 20th century eclgists cmmnly claimed that___________.
A. each species plays a specific rle in the cmmunity
B. new species need t be added as cmmunities develp
C. maintaining precise balance in cmmunity is challenging
D. it is imprtant t prtect cmmunities by remving certain species
9. Accrding t Gleasn, what influences where species live?
A. Hw individualistic the species is.B. Their ability t tlerate the stresses there.
C. The number f similar species present.D. Their ways t integrate with ther species.
10. Why des the authr mentin tw kinds f trees in paragraph 3?
A. T shw greater species variety in fldplains.
B. T prvide evidence t supprt Clements’ thery.
C. T give an example f species that prefer t live n fldplains.
D T supprt the current view n hw eclgical cmmunities develp.
11. The underlined wrd “perceptin” in paragraph 4 is clsest in meaning t____________.
A. cultureB. envirnmentC. understandingD. educatin
D
Curisity — the desire t knw, t discver, t learn. Inspired by curisity, humans are fund everywhere n ur planet, and beynd it in space. Yet accrding t human behaviurist and authr f Curius, Ian Leslie, althugh we are all brn curius, nt all f us bring this int adulthd, and we can lse ut as a result.
As Leslie explains, curisity shapes us frm the start. By trying new things, we build knwledge, and want t knw mre. “We are brn aware that we dn’t knw stuff — we want t experience and discver.” Hwever, the cntrast between childhd and adulthd is clear. “We ask 40,000 questins a year between the ages f tw and five,” says Leslie — arund 110 each day; adults, in cmparisn, ask just 20.
As we get lder, we may feel hesitant abut asking questins, believing this reveals gaps in ur knwledge. We can becme scared t share uncnventinal ideas fr fear f criticism r misunderstanding. We can als be a victim f ur success, as Leslie explains. “Once yu’ve wrked ut hw t d yur jb, then yu dn’t feel curius anymre. The need t learn ges away — in a way, curisity has dne its jb. But that desn’t mean yu shuldn’t cultivate it.”
Leslie’s tips fr cultivating curisity begin with spending time with the experts — children. “Talk t yur kids, and try t answer thse weird, difficult questins they have — like ‘What is air?’ This makes yu think abut things yu’ve taken fr granted — it reawakens yur curisity in what’s arund us and hw we perceive the wrld.”
S des finding what Leslie calls an ‘infrmal mentr’, thrugh wrk r ther circles, wh is happy t share their expertise, frm a skill, technlgy, t a field f learning. “Try t think f peple the way children think f adults — as surces f secret knwledge, a great stre f learning yu can tap int,” says Leslie.
Leslie als suggests creating a ‘spark file’ — a digital r physical ntebk in which yu cllect interesting thughts. “Fill it with facts yu’ve cme acrss, sentences yu like, insights that strike yu. Let it be randm. And let it build. Over time yu’ll build up a rich surce f inspiratin, and yu’ll think, ‘Oh that’s interesting, that relates t this…’ And suddenly yur mind starts firing away with new ideas and ways f thinking.”
12. Accrding t Leslie, what happens as we get lder?
A. We gradually lse ur natural curisity.
B. We are less aware f ur knwledge gaps.
C. We are unwilling t let thers benefit frm ur ideas.
D. We may think asking questins makes peple flish.
13. Which f the fllwing sayings might Leslie agree with?
A. A day’s planning is best dne at daybreak.
B. In the eyes f a lver, Xi Shi will appear.
C. A master can lead yu t the dr, but the rest is up t yu.
D. When three peple walk tgether, ne can surely be my teacher.
14. Which f the fllwing is a characteristic f a ‘spark file’?
A. It is carefully rganized.B. It can help peple cnnect ideas.
C. It nly cntains cmplete sentences.D. It can help peple imprve their memry.
15. What is the writer’s aim in this passage?
A. T prve Ian Leslie’s arguments.B. T summarise Ian Leslie’s viewpint.
C. T questin Ian Leslie’s cnclusins.D. T intrduce Ian Leslie’s achievements.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了音乐家朗朗为英国的一些缺乏乐器设备的学校所做的贡献。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“He is a Chinese superstar, a pian genius wh has sld millins f albums wrldwide. Lang Lang has als used his fame and frtune t help state schls arund the wrld that lack music, warning at a 2019 awards ceremny in Lndn that such lessns had becme “a real challenge” fr children in the mst disadvantaged cmmunities.（他是中国的超级巨星，一个钢琴天才，在全球销售了数百万张专辑。郎朗还利用自己的名声和财富帮助世界各地缺乏音乐的公立学校，他在2019年伦敦的一个颁奖典礼上警告说，这些课程已经成为最弱势社区儿童的“真正挑战”。）”可知，本段主要介绍了钢琴天才朗朗的一些基本信息，可推知，本段的目的是提供一些背景信息。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Nw he is bringing music t British state schls in an ambitius prject that will set up mdern “pian labs” in needy schls acrss the natin.（现在，他正在把音乐带到英国公立学校，这是一个雄心勃勃的项目，将在全国各地的贫困学校建立现代“钢琴实验室”。）”可知，在英国，朗朗帮助的是那些贫困学校，故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Asked what inspired him t supprt UK schls, Lang tld the reprter: “We were able t identify many similarities between state schls in the UK and public schls in the US in terms f the way access t music and arts can be extremely limited when budgets are cut…I was s surprised by hw music classes are never guaranteed. The schls and teachers are incredible, and are s dedicated t prviding their students with everything they can. But it shcked me hw access t music educatin can be s limited.（当被问及是什么促使他支持英国的学校时，郎朗告诉记者：“我们发现英国的公立学校和美国的公立学校有很多相似之处，在预算削减的情况下，音乐和艺术的机会非常有限……我很惊讶为什么音乐课从来没有得到保证。学校和老师都很棒，他们竭尽所能地为学生提供一切。但让我震惊的是，接受音乐教育的机会竟然如此有限。”）”可知，朗朗发现英国的公立学校在预算削减的情况下，音乐和艺术的机会非常有限，这使得他有了要支持英国学校的想法，即朗朗决定帮助支持英国的学校是这些学校的音乐课不能得到保证。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，文章在第一段中交代了钢琴天才——朗朗的一些信息，进而在接下来的段落中提到了朗朗计划在英国的贫困学校设立“钢琴实验室”的事情和朗朗决定帮助这些学校的动机及朗朗希望他的帮助行为能够实现的，结合第三段的“In the US, he has set up pian labs in 86 schls, giving 70,000 kids access t keybards. (在美国，他在86所学校建立了钢琴实验室，让7万名孩子接触到琴键)”，所以本文的标题应为“中国巨星把音乐带给了英国的孩子”，故选C。

Different frests in the western United States have unique cmbinatins f trees and birds. One type has brad-leaved trees like ash and cttnwd, alng with kingbirds. Anher type has evergreen trees like pine and white spruce, alng with juncs. Eclgists in the early twentieth century nce claimed these eclgical cmmunities were precisely balanced systems, where every species had a specific rle t play in a cmplex machine. They believed that remving r adding any plant, bird, r insect, culd disrupt this balance and harm the habitat. One f these pineer eclgists was Frederick Clements, wh believed that in a specific climate area, eclgical cmmunities gradually mved tward the mst balanced and integrated grup f species in that regin.
Clements was challenged by anther pineer eclgist, Henry Gleasn, wh tk the ppsite view. Gleasn viewed the cmmunity as largely a grup f species with similar tlerances t the stresses given by climate and ther factrs typical f the regin. Gleasn thught chance played a big rle in where species lived. His cncept suggests that nature is nt highly integrated. Each species is respnding individually t its surrundings. Gleasn thught things culd change in different ways, depending upn lcal cnditins.
Wh was right? It nw appears that Gleasn was mre accurate than Clements. The eclgical cmmunity is mstly a randm cllectin f species with similar respnses t a particular climate. Ash trees are fund in assciatin with cttnwd trees because bth can survive well n fldplains and the cmpetitin between them is nt s strng that nly ne can survive.
This is nt t say that precise harmnies are nt present within cmmunities. Mst flwering plants rely n pllinatrs (传粉者). But if we see a precise balance f nature, it is largely a prduct f ur perceptin, due t the false belief that nature, especially a cmplex system like a frest, seems s unchanging frm ne day t the next.
8. Early 20th century eclgists cmmnly claimed that___________.
A. each species plays a specific rle in the cmmunity
B. new species need t be added as cmmunities develp
C. maintaining precise balance in cmmunity is challenging
D. it is imprtant t prtect cmmunities by remving certain species
9. Accrding t Gleasn, what influences where species live?
A. Hw individualistic the species is.B. Their ability t tlerate the stresses there.
C. The number f similar species present.D. Their ways t integrate with ther species.
10. Why des the authr mentin tw kinds f trees in paragraph 3?
A. T shw greater species variety in fldplains.
B. T prvide evidence t supprt Clements’ thery.
C. T give an example f species that prefer t live n fldplains.
D. T supprt the current view n hw eclgical cmmunities develp.
11. The underlined wrd “perceptin” in paragraph 4 is clsest in meaning t____________.
A. cultureB. envirnmentC. understandingD. educatin
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了以前和现在的科学家对于生态群落的不同看法，比较了二者的区别，指出了其中的错误。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Eclgists in the early twentieth century nce claimed these eclgical cmmunities were precisely balanced systems, where every species had a specific rle t play in a cmplex machine. They believed that remving r adding any plant, bird, r insect, culd disrupt this balance and harm the habitat.(20世纪初的生态学家曾声称，这些生态群落是精确平衡的系统，其中每个物种在复杂的机器中都扮演着特定的角色。他们认为，移除或添加任何植物、鸟类或昆虫都会破坏这种平衡，损害栖息地)”可知，20世纪早期的生态学家普遍认为每个物种在群落中扮演着特定的角色。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Gleasn viewed the cmmunity as largely a grup f species with similar tlerances t the stresses given by climate and ther factrs typical f the regin.(格里森认为这个群落主要是一群对气候和该地区典型因素所带来的压力具有相似耐受性的物种)”可知，根据格里森的说法，抗压能力影响了物种的生存。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Wh was right? It nw appears that Gleasn was mre accurate than Clements. The eclgical cmmunity is mstly a randm cllectin f species with similar respnses t a particular climate. Ash trees are fund in assciatin with cttnwd trees because bth can survive well n fldplains and the cmpetitin between them is nt s strng that nly ne can survive.(谁是对的？现在看来格里森比克莱门茨更准确。生态群落主要是对特定气候有相似反应的物种的随机集合。人们发现白蜡树与白杨树有关联，因为两者都能在洪泛区很好地生存，而且它们之间的竞争不会激烈到只有一种树能生存)”可知，作者在第三段提到了两种树是为了支持当前关于生态群落如何发展的观点。故选D。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“due t the false belief that nature, especially a cmplex system like a frest, seems s unchanging frm ne day t the next”可知，我们错误地认为自然，尤其是像森林这样的复杂系统，似乎每天都是不变的，这属于我们对自然的错误理解，故划线词意思是“理解”。故选C。
D
Curisity — the desire t knw, t discver, t learn. Inspired by curisity, humans are fund everywhere n ur planet, and beynd it in space. Yet accrding t human behaviurist and authr f Curius, Ian Leslie, althugh we are all brn curius, nt all f us bring this int adulthd, and we can lse ut as a result.
As Leslie explains, curisity shapes us frm the start. By trying new things, we build knwledge, and want t knw mre. “We are brn aware that we dn’t knw stuff — we want t experience and discver.” Hwever, the cntrast between childhd and adulthd is clear. “We ask 40,000 questins a year between the ages f tw and five,” says Leslie — arund 110 each day; adults, in cmparisn, ask just 20.
As we get lder, we may feel hesitant abut asking questins, believing this reveals gaps in ur knwledge. We can becme scared t share uncnventinal ideas fr fear f criticism r misunderstanding. We can als be a victim f ur success, as Leslie explains. “Once yu’ve wrked ut hw t d yur jb, then yu dn’t feel curius anymre. The need t learn ges away — in a way, curisity has dne its jb. But that desn’t mean yu shuldn’t cultivate it.”
Leslie’s tips fr cultivating curisity begin with spending time with the experts — children. “Talk t yur kids, and try t answer thse weird, difficult questins they have — like ‘What is air?’ This makes yu think abut things yu’ve taken fr granted — it reawakens yur curisity in what’s arund us and hw we perceive the wrld.”
S des finding what Leslie calls an ‘infrmal mentr’, thrugh wrk r ther circles, wh is happy t share their expertise, frm a skill, technlgy, t a field f learning. “Try t think f peple the way children think f adults — as surces f secret knwledge, a great stre f learning yu can tap int,” says Leslie.
Leslie als suggests creating a ‘spark file’ — a digital r physical ntebk in which yu cllect interesting thughts. “Fill it with facts yu’ve cme acrss, sentences yu like, insights that strike yu. Let it be randm. And let it build. Over time yu’ll build up a rich surce f inspiratin, and yu’ll think, ‘Oh that’s interesting, that relates t this…’ And suddenly yur mind starts firing away with new ideas and ways f thinking.”
12. Accrding t Leslie what happens as we get lder?
A. We gradually lse ur natural curisity.
B. We are less aware f ur knwledge gaps.
C. We are unwilling t let thers benefit frm ur ideas.
D. We may think asking questins makes peple flish.
13. Which f the fllwing sayings might Leslie agree with?
A. A day’s planning is best dne at daybreak.
B. In the eyes f a lver, Xi Shi will appear.
C. A master can lead yu t the dr, but the rest is up t yu.
D. When three peple walk tgether, ne can surely be my teacher.
14. Which f the fllwing is a characteristic f a ‘spark file’?
A. It is carefully rganized.B. It can help peple cnnect ideas.
C. It nly cntains cmplete sentences.D. It can help peple imprve their memry.
15. What is the writer’s aim in this passage?
A. T prve Ian Leslie’s arguments.B. T summarise Ian Leslie’s viewpint.
C. T questin Ian Leslie’s cnclusins.D. T intrduce Ian Leslie’s achievements.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了人类行为学家Ian Leslie关于好奇心的观点及如何培养好奇心。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“As we get lder, we may feel hesitant abut asking questins, believing this reveals gaps in ur knwledge.( 随着年龄的增长，我们可能会对提问感到犹豫，认为这揭示了我们的知识空白)”可知，Leslie认为长大后我们可能认为提出问题会使我们看起来很愚蠢。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段内容，结合本段中“Leslie’s tips fr cultivating curisity begin with spending time with the experts — children.( Leslie培养好奇心的建议是从花时间和专家——孩子们——在一起开始的)”及“This makes yu think abut things yu’ve taken fr granted — it reawakens yur curisity in what’s arund us and hw we perceive the wrld.(这会让你思考你认为理所当然的事情——它会重新唤醒你对我们周围的事物以及我们如何看待世界的好奇心)”可知，Leslie建议和孩子们在一起来培养好奇心，由此可推知他会同意D项观点“三人行，必有我师”。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段首句“Leslie als suggests creating a ‘spark file’ — a digital r physical ntebk in which yu cllect interesting thughts.(Leslie还建议创建一个‘火花文件’——一个可以收集有趣想法的电子或实体笔记本)”及“Over time yu’ll build up a rich surce f inspiratin, and yu’ll think, ‘Oh that’s interesting, that relates t this…’(随着时间的推移，你会建立一个丰富的灵感来源，你会想，‘哦，这很有趣，这和这个有关……’)”可知，“火花文件”可以帮助人们把想法联系起来。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段最后一句“Yet accrding t human behaviurist and authr f Curius, Ian Leslie, althugh we are all brn curius, nt all f us bring this int adulthd, and we can lse ut as a result.(然而，根据人类行为学家、《好奇》一书的作者Ian Leslie的说法，尽管我们生来就有好奇心，但并不是所有人都会在成年后变得好奇，因此我们可能会因此而失败)”可知，本文主要介绍了Ian Leslie关于好奇心的观点。故作者的目的是总结他的观点。故选B。

【18题详解】
根据上文“Building the spken web—web-t-vice and vice-t-web—is by n means an easy task. Fr sftware t answer simple questins abut the weather and play music fr us is easy.(建立语音网络——网络到语音和语音到网络绝不是一件容易的事。对于软件来说，回答关于天气的简单问题和为我们播放音乐是很容易的)”以及后文“Artificial intelligence isn’t smart enugh yet. Even turning yur vice int text is ne f the hardest prblems t slve. There are as many ways t prnunce things as there are peple n the planet.(人工智能还不够聪明。甚至把你的声音转换成文字也是最难解决的问题之一。地球上有多少人，就有多少种发音方法)”可知，上文提到了运用语音网络询问关于天气的简单问题，后文则提到了人工智能还不够聪明，可知本句与上文构成转折关系，指出存在的缺点。故F选项“但是与用户就不同的话题进行对话还有很长的路要走”符合语境，故选F。

Peple wrry assistants will ne day be used t deliver advertising directly t us.(但如果有东西说话，它也必须倾听。我们的手机总是在我们身边，它们不断地收集我们的个人信息。这已经引起了人们对隐私的担忧。人们担心助理有一天会被用来直接向我们发送广告)”可知，本句承接上文，说明语音互动可以带来的亲密感，故E选项“助手的非正式语气有助于建立情感依恋”符合语境，故选E。
【20题详解】
根据后文“In envirnments when ne’s hands are ccupied, such as while driving r cking, the spken web is helpful. Think abut when yu are cking, it is natural t talk.

The effectiveness f using vice depends n the specific surrundings.(在双手被占用的环境中，比如开车或做饭时，语音网络很有帮助。想想当你做饭的时候，说话是很自然的。当你开车的时候，说话显然是有意义的。另一方面，在安静的图书馆里，使用语音命令提问可能不如打字那么合适，因为它可能会打扰别人。使用声音的有效性取决于特定的环境)”可知，后文提到了使用语音的不同环境，有的环境里使用语音很方便，而有的环境会打扰别人，说明使用语音取决于环境。故D选项“使用语音的好处显然取决于环境”符合语境，故选D。
