I live in a small twn in Yunnan Prvince, n the histric Tea Hrse Rad. My family has lived there fr many generatins. I remember when I was very yung, ld peple tld me abut the hrse caravan (马队) traders wh had traveled that path fr centuries, carrying tea, silks, etc. t markets as far away as India. S, when I first heard that Paul Salpek was ging t walk the entire glbe n his wn tw feet withut any mdern transprtatin, I was blwn away. I culdn't imagine that there culd still be such an unusual persn in the wrld.
It was even mre surprising when ne day in May f 2021, I fund myself meeting Paul at a ndle shp. It was his first time in China. Paul talked t me with great excitement abut the histry and discvery in my regin f China. He spke f the Shu-Yandu Da (the Sichuan t India trading rute), the Suthern Silk Rad, the Tea Hrse Rad, and the 17th-century Chinese explrer Xu Xiake. Paul cnsidered him a her and in a sense a Chinese pineer f slw turism.
Then I made my biggest decisin f 2021: I wuld accmpany Paul fr hundreds f miles n his walk tward my hme f Yunnan. On September 28, 2021, we finally set ut. Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. I ate when I was hungry, walked after I ate, and slept when I gt tired.
As I accmpanied Paul t walk n ancient paths thrugh great muntains, I seemed t hear the distant sund f hrse bells lst in time. Tgether, we were amazed by the bidiversity (生物多样性) f the Galigng Muntains and mved by lng-past stries that had happened there.

It's easy nt t think much abut the intelligence f insects. Tiny creatures with even tinier brains—hw smart can they be? But as bilgists begin t rethink hw animals think, even insects are being seen in a new light. Nw a new study frm the University f Bristl finds that Helicnius butterflies are capable f spatial (空间的) learning. The results prvide the first experimental evidence f spatial learning in any butterfly species.
We have knwn abut spatial learning in insects. but mstly in ant and bee species that live scially in a shared nest. Hwever, as nted by the University, the new research suggests that cmplex learning skills, such as the use f spatial infrmatin, may be mre prevalent in insects than previusly thught.
The team set up three spatial learning experiments in Helicnius butterflies. They started small, testing t see if the butterflies culd learn the lcatin f a fd reward in a ne-square-meter area cntaining 16 artificial flwers. Then they increased the spatial dimensin t see whether Helicnius culd learn t cnnect fd with either the left r right side f a three-square-meter tw-armed maze (迷宫). Finally, they increased the distances again using large utdr cages t see if the butterflies culd learn the lcatin f fd in a 60-meter-wide T-maze. The butterflies were successful in all three experiments.
Next, the researchers plan t mainly lk int Helicnius' relative capability f spatial learning as ppsed t clsely related species that dn't feed n pllen (花粉). "This wuld help t shw hw the develpment f enhanced cgnitive (认知的) abilities can be shaped by an animal's eclgy," explains the University. The team als plans t study just hw Helicnius manages t find its way thrugh the wrld. It is believed that visual clues play an imprtant rle in this—but they may als rely n ther clues, such as the sun.
28. What des the new study find?
A. Spatial learning is rare in scial insects.
B. Insects' brains determine their intelligence.
C. A butterfly species exhibits spatial learning ability.
D. Butterflies share life-related behavirs with ants and bees.
29. What des the underlined wrd "prevalent" in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Cmmnly fund.B. Effectively taught.
C. Difficult t study.D. Unusual t develp.
30. In which aspect d the three spatial learning experiments differ frm each ther?
A. The types f flwers used.B. The design f the maze structure.
C. The cmplexity f the fd rewards.D. The spatial extent f each experiment.
31. What might the fllw-up study f Helicnius butterflies fcus n?
A. The significance f Helicnius' visual develpment.
B. The impact f pllen n Helicnius butterflies' intelligence.
C. The develpment f different butterflies' cgnitive abilities.
D. The cgnitin cmparisn between Helicnius and ther species.

The cean is a rich and seemingly lawless frntier. It's a watery wild west, irresistible t humans hping t rb (掠夺) its many riches. That is the pint thrughut The High Seas: Greed, Pwer and the Battle fr the Unclaimed Ocean, a fast-paced and thrughly reprted bk by science jurnalist Olive Heffernan.
The bk begins by ging rapidly thrugh the waves f histry that brught us t tday.Then Heffernan devtes a chapter each t different ways peple are increasingly ccupying internatinal waters, an expansin called the Blue Acceleratin. Sme are hunting fr new fishing grunds. Others are searching fr new medicines in the DNA f deep-sea living things. Still thers are explring hw t bst the cean's carbn uptake t help slw climate change. Even the space industry wants a piece f the cean—t create watery graveyards (墓地) fr useless spacecraft.
The descriptin frm ne cean ambitin t anther emphasizes ne f the bk's biggest takeaways: We've established an unstable new type f cean ecsystem, and it is ging t be incredibly difficult—maybe impssible—t balance all the pririties while als prtecting cean health and bidiversity.
Cnflicting desires t rb the sea and prtect it shw up ver and ver again. "Natins urging cnservatin in ne area may push fr increasing explratin in anther," Heffernan writes. The Eurpean Unin in 2021, fr example, ffered prizes t its fishing bats t range farther ffshre, even as it cmmitted t sustainable fishing. Natins prmising t prtect sea life and fighting climate change may be the same cuntries that supprt deep-sea mining, which may be harmful t life n the cean flr. "The prblem." Heffernan says, "isn't that the high seas are withut any rules. Rather, rganizatins and bdies each use their wn rulebk."
By the final chapter—"Hpe fr the high seas"—it's hard t knw what anyne culd actually d t help save the cean. "We're at a crucial crssrads." Heffernan writes. "We can cntinue ging ever deeper and further ffshre in ur search fr new surces f wealth, r we can strike a mre sustainable balance. "she added.
32. What might the Blue Acceleratin refer t?
A. The extensive explratin f ceans.
B. The negative influence f climate change.
C. The rapid expansin f ceanic research.
D. The increased cmpetitin in space industry.
33. What might be the reasn fr "cnflicting desires" accrding t Heffernan?
A. The greed f human nature.B. The absence f cean laws.
C. The lack f a cnsistent cean plicy.D. The gap in technlgical develpment.
34. What can we knw abut Heffernan?
A. She dubts internatinal cperatin.
B. She cares abut the eclgical cnsequences.
C. She is ptimistic abut technlgical advancements.
D. She is certain f the success f cean explratin.
35. What is the text?

29.A 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“We have knwn abut spatial learning in insects, but mstly in ant and bee species that live scially in a shared nest.”可知，我们已经知道昆虫具有空间学习能力，但有这种能力的昆虫主要是群居在同一个巢穴中的蚂蚁和蜜蜂。又根据下句中的“Hwever”可知，两句之间构成转折关系。由此可推断出，此句指“复杂的学习技能，例如空间信息的使用，在昆虫当中可能比以前认为的更普遍”，prevalent意为“普遍的”，cmmnly fund与其意思相近。故选A。
30.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They started small ... in a ne-square-meter area”，“Then they increased the spatial dimensin t see ... a three-square-meter tw-armed maze”，“Finally, they increased the distances ... in a 60-meter-wide T-maze”可知，文中提到了三个实验，第一个实验在一平方米的区域内进行，第二个实验在三平方米的两臂迷宫中测试，而第三个实验在60米宽的T形迷宫中进行，实验的空间尺寸逐渐增大。由此可知，三个实验的主要区别在于空间范围的不同。故选D。
31.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，下一步研究人员计划主要研究袖蝶属蝴蝶与其他密切相关的物种在空间学习能力上的差异，特别是那些不以花粉为食的物种。这将有助于揭示动物的认知能力是如何被其生态环境所塑造。由此可推断出，后续研究将集中在袖蝶属蝴蝶和其他相关物种之间的认知能力之间的比较。故选D。
D
【语篇导读】本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了由科学记者Olive Heffernan 所著的The High Seas: Greed, Pwer and the Battle fr the Unclaimed Ocean一书中所介绍的主题、内容等以及Heffernan对海洋未来情况的担忧。
32.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“different ways peple are increasingly ccupying internatinal waters, an
expansin called the Blue Acceleratin”可知，人们用不同的方式不断占领国际水域，这种扩张方式就被称作“蓝色加速”。且下文列举了寻找新的渔场、在深海生物的DNA中寻找新药、探索如何提高海洋的碳吸收量以帮助减缓气候变化等方式。由此可推断出，“蓝色加速”指的是人类对海洋的广泛探索。故选A。
33.C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“'The prblem,' Heffernan says, 'isn't that the high seas are withut any rules. Rather, rganizatins and bdies each use their wn rulebk.'”可知，Heffernan指出问题不在于公海没有任何规则，而是各个组织和机构都使用自己的规则。由此可推断出，冲突欲望的根本原因在于缺乏一贯的全球海洋政策，导致不同国家和组织在海洋利用和保护方面采取不同的规则和措施。故选C。
34.B 推理判断题。根据文章中的描述，特别是第四段中的“Cnflicting desires t rb the sea and prtect it shw up ver and ver again.”，“Natins prmising t prtect sea life and fighting climate change may be the same cuntries that supprt deep-sea mining, which may be harmful t life n the cean flr.”和最后一段中的“We're at a crucial crssrads,' Heffernan writes...”可知，Heffernan在书中提到了人们对海洋资源需求的不断增长，以及这些需求与保护海洋健康和生物多样性之间的冲突。在最后一章中，Heffernan写到，我们正处于一个关键的十字路口，我们可以继续更加深入地、更加远离近海岸去寻找新的财富来源，或者我们可以达成一个更加可持续的平衡方式去探索海洋资源。由此可推断出，Heffernan担忧海洋过度开采带来的生态失衡的后果。故选B。
35.B 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文概述了Olive Heffernan所著的The High Seas: Greed, Pwer, and the Battle fr the Unclaimed Ocean一书的主题、内容和核心信息，包括人们对海洋资源的不断增长的，,由此产生的冲突以及保护海洋健康和生物多样性的挑战。文章符合书评的结构特点。故选B。
第二节
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就夏日不在家时人们如何保住菜园里的植物给出了几条建议。
36.C 下文介绍了自动浇水系统可以帮助你在固定时间浇水，防止植物干枯，而在较小的空间你可以考虑安装倒置的洒水球和水瓶来解决浇水的问题。由此可知，C项(水通常是你离开时最关心的问题。)可承接下文，引出下文对浇水措施的介绍。故选C。
37.F 根据上文的“But in smaller spaces yu might cnsider different slutins like adding watering glbes and water bttles placed upside dwn in beds r planters.(但在较小的空间里，你可能会考虑不同的解决方案，比如在苗床或花盆里添加倒置的洒水球和水瓶。)”可知，F项(这些方法可以让水慢慢释放出来，给你的植物提供水分。)可承接上文。选项中的These指代上文中提到的different slutins。故选F。
38.D 设空处上文提到，在干旱地区，当你不在的时候，减少作物的需水量是有益处的。设空处下文提到，这可能会帮助你赢得更多的时间。想一想，在一天中最热的时候，你如何既能为作物提供充足的阳光，又能为它们提供一些阴凉。由此可推断出，设空处应与“shade”相关，D项(遮蔽菜园的特定区域，以减少湿度损失。)可承接上下文，符合语境。故选D。
39.A 本段介绍害虫对菜园造成的威胁。空前指出综合性的虫害处理方法是最好的措施，且空后提到“记住，生物多样性是关键，你需要一些害虫来吸引其他会吃它们的生物，并减少害虫的数量。”由此可知，A项(与大自然合作，而不是与之抗争。)可承接下文，符合语境。故选A。
40.G 设空处上文提到利用与自然协作的方式来抵抗虫害，设空处下文提到用网状物或者拱棚覆盖来防止作物受害。由此可知，G项(然而有时，需要设置屏障物来确保作物不受病虫害。)与上文构成转折关系，且可承接下文。故选G。
