Remarkable wildlife experiences arund the wrld
Fr nearly a century, peple arund the glbe have celebrated Wrld Animal Day. Launched in 1925, the annual event n 4 Octber is designed t raise awareness f animal rights issues and help imprve the treatment and well-being f wildlife. Tday, the internatinal effrt includes mre than 90 ambassadrs in 70 cuntries, and in recent decades, travel has increasingly played a key rle in wildlife cnservatin. Frm whale- watching in Mexic t lemur-sptting in Malaysia, here are sme f the mst remarkable wildlife experiences arund the glbe where rule-abiding travellers are welcme.
Laguna San Ignaci, Mexic
In El Vizcain, a prtected whale area in Mexic’s Baja Califrnia Sur peninsula, grey whales are knwn t regularly and vluntarily apprach fishing bats ut f sheer curisity, sparking new whale-watching turs where the whales are the nes ding the viewing. These unique interactins are helping t fuel their habitat cnservatin.
Okavang Delta, Btswana
Fr many years, the paddling and steering f traditinal mkrs（独木舟） used t take visitrs t view wildlife in the Okavang Delta were strictly the territry f men. Hwever, recently a number f female mkr guides（called “plers”） have started t take up the traditin, leading visitrs in search f the elephants, zebras and buffal. This change is part f a larger trend acrss the cntinent t empwer wmen t participate in ec-friendly turism.
Pantanal, Brazil
The Pantanal stretches mre than 140,000 km² acrss Brazil, Blivia and Paraguay and is cnsidered the largest wetland n Earth. The nrthern crner f the Brazilian Pantanal is hme t ne f the wrld’s mst unique turs. Here, travellers jump n Pantaneir hrses as they navigate the wetland, allwing them t keep their eyes n jaguars, giant anteaters, giant tters, tapir, maned wlves and hundreds f bird species.
Langkawi, Malaysia
Thugh clsely related t mnkeys, the s-called “flying lemur（狐猴）” is actually a unique species fund nly in frests acrss Suth-East Asia. Despite being fairly widespread, very little is knwn abut the large-eyed gliding creature. Nature-fcused turs like Jungle Walla ffer the best pprtunities t see them in the wild.

The largest restratin f Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn’s masterpiece, The Night Watch, is under way at the Rijksmuseum, in Amsterdam.
Fllwing five years f research using techniques such as digital imaging and artificial intelligence, eight restrers begin “Operatin Night Watch” by remving the varnish（清漆） frm the painting— in full view f the public, within the glass-enclsed space in The Night Watch Rm. The varnish, applied during a 1975—76 restratin, will be remved using micrfiber clths and cttn swabs. The prcess fllws years f scientific research, trials n ther paintings, and tests n The Night Watch itself.
Made fr Amsterdam’s Arquebusiers Guild Hall, Rembrandt’s 1642 il painting is ne f the earliest t describe a grup in actin. A captain, dressed in black, is telling his lieutenant（上尉） t start the cmpany marching. And the guardsmen are mving int frmatin. Rembrandt uses the light t fcus n particular details, such as the captain’s gesturing hand and the yung girl, a masct, in the backgrund. The painting’s riginal name is Militia Cmpany f District Ⅱ under the Cmmand f Captain Frans Banninck Ccq— but it became knwn as The Night Watch, in the 18th Century. The artwrk was cated with a dark varnish and gathered dirt ver the years, giving the false impressin that it describes a night scene.
The Night Watch has been attacked with a knife— in 1911 and again in 1975, when the attacker slashed 12 cuts int the canvas. And in 1990, a man sprayed acid n t the painting— althugh, this time, thanks t a guard’s rapid interventin, nly the varnish was damaged. The Night Watch has been treated at least 25 times— but this latest research and restratin prject has been the mst extensive s far. Mre than tw millin visitrs cme t see the painting at the museum, in the Netherlands, every year.
24．The restrers have nt undertaken.
A．a full public review
B．the remval f the varnish
C．much research with digital technlgies
D．the test f the cleaning apprach’s practicality
25．What’s a likely characteristic f Rembrandt’s Night Watch?
A．It is nt likely t subject t stains and paints.
B．It features light n dynamic elements in a grup.
C．It is actually abut a cmpany marching at night.
D．It describes a vivid picture f still characters and bjects.
26．What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A．The Night Watch never trubles visitrs.
B．The Night Watch’s restratin is always n the rad.
C．Rembrandt’s artwrk utweighs thers’ wrks in the same perid.
D．The prtectin f Rembrandt’s artwrk shuld be put mre emphasis n.
27．What might be a suitable title fr the text?
A．Rembrant’s Night Watch: Majr restratin begins
B．Rembrant’s Night Watch: Artistic techniques shine
C．Rembrant’s Night Watch: Varnish and dirt d help
D．Rembrant’s Night Watch: Irresistible charm never fades

Selling a British institutin t a freign billinaire is a big deal. In the case f Ryal Mail, that deal is nt yet dne, but the cmpany’s bard has agreed t the mve in principle. The 508-year-ld pstal service, Ryal Mail, has been valued at 5 billin by its ptential Czech buyer, Daniel Kretinsky, and sharehlders f Ryal Mail’s parent cmpany are due t vte n the deal in September 2024.
The gvernment has since made a prmise t “firmly scrutinize” the takever（收购） and give wrkers a “strnger vice”, leading sme investrs t dubt whether the deal will nw g thrugh.
But there are gd reasns fr viewing this kind f freign direct investment as valuable t the struggling UK ecnmy. There is research which shws that freign-wned firms are typically mre prductive, mre innvative and pay higher wages than their dmestically- wned cmpetitrs.
There are ther pssible advantages t. Research als suggests that attracting freign investment can help reginal develpment in the UK, making a significant cntributin t what has becme knwn as “levelling up”.
But it desn’t always wrk ut that way. One majr cncern is that when business strategy decisins are made remtely, they tend t emphasise shrt-term gains ver lng-term sustainability. And apart frm the issue ver whether the UK’s natinal pst carrier shuld be in private hands at all, there remain questins abut what specific benefits freign prperty wuld bring t Ryal Mail.
A takever f this type ften leads t “restructuring”. Daniel Kretinsky has prmised n changes t wrking cnditins fr tw years, and t keep the Ryal Mail’s tax residency（纳税身份） in UK fr five years.
A successful takever als depends n the ability f the cmpany t generate prductivity grwth, usually thrugh things like investment f capital r new technlgy. But it is nt clear that either f them is likely in this case.
28．What des the underlined wrd “scrutinize” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A．Examine.B．Detect.C．Overlk.D．Display.
29．Why is external direct investment precius t the UK’s hard ecnmy?
A．Freign-wned firms are mre efficient and creative.
B．Freign-wned firms can bst glbal cmpetitiveness.
C．Freign-wned firms prvide mre reginal jbs than the lcal firms.
D．Freign-wned firms bring advanced technlgies and practices t the UK.
30．Which ne is the current cncern abut Ryal Mail?
A．Jb cuts and wage changes.B．Ownership f the natinal pst ffice.
C．Unpredictable internatinal expansin.D．A decrease in service quality fr custmers.
31．What can be inferred frm paragraph 6?
A．Ryal Mall will nt pay taxes within five years.
B．Ryal Mall will relcate its headquarters abrad.
C．Ryal Mall’s tax status culd be reassessed in five years.
D．There will be n freign influence n Ryal Mall’s peratins.

Japanese, Italian, Ukrainian and dzens f ther spken languages cause the same “universal language netwrk” t light up in the brains f native speakers. This center f language prcessing has been studied extensively in English speakers, but nw neurscientists have cnfirmed that the exact same netwrk is activated（激活） in speakers f 45 different languages representing 12 distinct language families, including speakers f “tnal” languages, such as Mandarin, which cnveys different wrd meanings thrugh shifts in their tnes.
The study included tw native speakers f each language wh underwent brain scans. Specifically, the team scanned the participants’ brains using a technique called fMRI. Using fMRI, the researchers tracked xygenated bld（氧合血） flw t indirectly measure brain activity. During the scans, the participants listened t passages frm “Alice in Wnderland” read in their native languages. In thery, all f the listeners shuld use the same language netwrk t prcess stries read in their native tngues, the researchers assumed.
The participants als listened t several recrdings that, theretically, wuldn’t activate this language netwrk. Fr example, they listened t recrdings in which the native speaker’s wrds were twisted beynd recgnitin. In additin t cmpleting these language- related tests, the participants were asked t d math prblems and perfrm memry tasks; like the chatic recrdings, neither the math nr the memry tests shuld activate the language netwrk, the team therized.
In native English speakers, the brain areas that are activated during language prcessing appear mstly in the left hemisphere（半球） f the brain. By cnstructing “maps” f brain activity frm all their subjects, the researchers revealed that these same brain areas are activated regardless f the language being heard. The team did bserve slight differences in brain activity amng the individual speakers f different languages. Hwever, the same, small degree f variatin has als been seen amng native English speakers.
These results aren’t surprising, but they lay a critical fundatin fr future studies. “Althugh we expected this t be the case, this demnstratin is an essential fundatin fr future systematic, in-depth and crss-linguistic cmparisns,” the team wrte.
32．Hw did participants activate the language netwrk during the scans?
A．They read passages frm a nvel.
B．They were asked t slve math prblems.
C．They were expsed t unfamiliar languages.
D．They listened t stries in their native languages.
33．Why were the chatic recrdings used in the study?
A．T stimulate alternative brain netwrks.
B．T cmpare familiarity with different languages.
C．T prvide evidence fr brain netwrks’ respnse.
D．T bserve brain activity within the disrderly sunds.
34．Accrding t paragraph 4, which ne is NOT true?
A．The variatin was mre bvius in nn-native language speakers.
B．The brain’s activated regins remain identical regardless f languages.
C．Small variatin was nticed in bth English and nn-English speakers.
D．Mapping brain activity is an effective way t analyze language prcessing.
35．What’s the writing purpse f the text?
A．T argue language prcessing differs in varius cultures.
B．T explre the brain activity variatin amng languages.
C．T discuss hw language families influence brain activity.
D．T demnstrate cmmn brain parts fr language prcessing.

Fr nearly twenty years, my life centered arund tw things: smking cigarettes, and trying t quit smking cigarettes. It was a harmful circle, but I culdn’t break it.
When I married Cassie ten years ag, I flded up my pack f cigarettes and swre I was quitting. When we bught ur first huse eight years ag, I marked that event in my life by breaking my pack f cigarettes with my she heel. When my sn, Cle, was brn five years ag, I threw my cigarettes int a garbage can. And when my daughter, Olivia, was brn three years later, yet anther pack f cigarettes bit the dust（化为乌有）.
I even began wrking ut— lifting weights and running five days a week, rain r shine. I lst frty punds and develped a strng bdy, but I was never able t defeat thse cigarettes.
Smking is a dangerus habit, which cnfuses yur brain. Subcnsciusly, yu knw cigarettes are deadly—— but every cell in yur bdy screams ut fr that nictine, disturbing yur judgment. S I just kept smking, the life slwly and invisibly being sucked right ut f me.
One day the willpwer I had lacked arrived suddenly frm a mst unexpected place: a pure crner f my sn’s mind.
As Cassie was driving my sn hme frm kindergarten, they passed a cemetery（墓地） and Cle asked unexpectedly, “Mm, what’s under tmbstnes?”
Cassie thught abut the questin fr a few mments, trying t think f an answer easy fr him t understand but nt s direct. While realizing there was n such answer, she directly said, “Dead peple.”
“Is that where Dad’s ging t be because he smkes?” Cle asked.
“I hpe nt,” Cassie replied.
“Dad shuldn’t smke. If he ges n, he’ll be dead when I’m twenty.” Cle said, his vice rising in anger.
Cassie was speechless, shcked by Cle’s wrds. “But I still hpe he cmes back as a ghst（鬼魂） and talks t me,” he added, “like Obi-Wan Kenbi did t Luke Skywalker in Star Wars.”

33．C。推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“The participants als listened t several recrdings that, theretically, wuldn’t activate this language netwrk.（参与者还听了几段理论上不会激活语言网络的录音。）”以及“Fr example, they listened...”可知，让参与者听录音是为了验证理论，为其提供证据。故选C。
34．A。细节理解题。根据第四段中的“slight differences in brain activity amng the individual speakers f different languages”和“the same, small degree f variatin has als been seen amng native English speakers”可知，一些细微的不同既存在于不同语言的使用者中，也存在于英语母语者中，由此可推断C选项表述正确，A选项表述有错。根据第四段中的“the researchers revealed that these same brain areas are activated regardless f the language being heard”可知，不论是哪种语言，激活大脑的区域都是一样的，因而B选项表述正确。根据第四段的实验过程“By cnstructing ‘maps’ f brain activity frm all their subjects...”可知，绘制大脑活动图是分析语言处理的有效方法，因而D选项表述正确。故选A。
35．D。主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“but nw neurscientists have cnfirmed that the exact same netwrk is activated（激活）...”可知，神经学家已经证实不同语言使用者激活的都是相同的语言网络。通读全文可知，文章主体内容是在展示证实的过程。故选D。
36．B。空处前后句都是在讲压力大睡不好所带来的干扰，而空处后主要是关于睡不好对于周末的影响以及第二天早上的状态，B选项符合意义的衔接。
37．F。空处前几句都是讲的做法；Yu culd...也形成了句式的衔接。
38．E。本空延续做法这一话题，同时与后段讲写下来的好处衔接，因此E选项符合逻辑。
39．A。此空延续将写下来的事情排序这一语义；They帮助形成句间的衔接。
40．G。此处要填紧接着后一句But it culd be wrth it的内容，G选项符合语义和逻辑。
[语篇导读]圣诞节前夕的早上，作者醒来的第一件事就是去找丢失了六个月的他喜爱的猫Baby-Girl。父亲已经对找回猫不抱任何的希望了，而作者坚信圣诞节会发生奇迹，一定能够找回Baby-Girl。于是在多次寻找未果之后，又一次让父亲带着他前往（动物）救助站去找猫。幸运的是这一次他找到了丢失了6个月的猫。起初父亲和工作人员根本不相信，最后通过他的努力，工作人员和父亲都相信（猫找回来）了。
41．A。根据上文“I awke with a missin: t find my lst cat, Baby-Girl”可知此处指“丢失”。
42．A。根据“My dad lst faith but I still had it, expecting a（n） 42 , after all.”及下文的“It turned ut that Baby- Girl’s 54 wasn’t the nly Christmas wnder that year.”可知，在父亲失去信心的时候作者仍然期望有奇迹发生。因此选择 wnder“奇迹”。
43．B。根据下文“Gd t see yu again, Sir! Still lking fr yur cat?”可知作者与父亲再次去找丢失的猫, 因此选择“search”。
44．C。根据第三段的首句可知他们是去“shelter”寻找丢失的猫。
45．D。根据工作人员说的话“Gd t see yu again, Sir! Still lking fr yur cat?”可知此处选择“enthusiastically（热情地）”。
46．B。根据“My eyes 46 cats f all shapes and sizes.”和下文中的“My eyes zered in n a little cat with big green eyes.”（zer in n sth.译为“集中全部注意力在……”）可知，眼睛在 scan （t lk at every part f sth. carefully, especially because yu are lking fr a particular thing r persn“细看，察看”）不同大小体型的猫。spt意为“发现”；test意为“试验，检查”；skip意为“跳过，略过”。
47．D。据此段后三句可知，作者找到了丢失了六个月的猫，因此这里应该是听见了熟悉的猫叫声，选择 familiar。
48．C。据此句“She was 48 and weaker than I remembered, but it was Baby-Girl all right!”中的“weaker”可知此时猫的状态不好。skinnier“皮包骨的，极瘦的”符合语境。
49．A。根据“Upn pening the cage dr, Baby-Girl practically jumped int my 49 , clse t my chest. ‘Dad! It’ s Baby-Girl!’ I cried.”可知作者和猫找到了彼此，都非常的开心，因此此空选择“arms”。短语“jumped int my arms, clse t my chest”意为“跃入怀中，贴着胸口”。
50．D。根据“My dad frwned tightly, dubtful.”可知父亲不相信找到了丢失的猫，再根据“The shelter staff was 50 , t.”和“I explained that this cat matched Baby-Girl’s descriptin perfectly.”可知工作人员也不相信,因此选择 uncertain“犹豫，拿不准”。
51．A。根据“Back hme, the rest f the family 51 Baby-Girl happily. She purred（咕噜叫） like a mtrbat, rubbing（蹭） up against everyne’s legs. She seemed cmpletely 52 .”可知猫回家后其他家人都非常开心,欢迎它回家。猫也非常开心，用脚蹭着每个人的腿（撒娇）。因此选择 welcmed。
52．B。根据“She purred（咕噜叫） like a mtrbat, rubbing（蹭） up against everyne’s legs.”可知，这只丢失的猫回家后轻松自在的状态。短语 at hme 意为“熟悉或自在”，故选择B。at large意为“在逃的，逍遥法外的”；at liberty意为“自由，不再受监禁”；at break意为“在（课间）休息”。
53．C。根据“My heart was filled with 53 —I was surrunded by family and my cat was hme again.”可知作者心中怀有感恩、感激之情，故选择“gratitude”。
54．D。根据上文可知丢失了六个月的猫被找到了，因此选择 return“回归，回来”。
55．C。此处首尾呼应。根据“My dad lst faith”和“My dad frwned tightly, dubtful.”可知，父亲对找到猫的态度从不相信到怀疑再到最后的相信，因此选择 Believe。
[语篇导读]本文讲述了算盘的起源和发展及古时商人对算盘的需求。
56．width。此处需填写名词。in width“在宽度上”。
57．wden。此处需填写形容词wden。
58．an。peratr“打算盘的人”是可数名词，前面需用不定冠词an，表示泛指。

61．belw。此处需填写介词。句意同上。
62．is being used。此句需填写谓语动词，根据此句中的“nw”可知，此空用现在进行时，而且需用被动语态。
63．which。此处考查的是 prep.加 which引导的限制性定语从句。by译为“凭借”。句意：必须先熟背一个简洁的公式，通过这个公式，加、减、乘、除的运算都可以简化成移动算珠。
64．required。此处需用过去分词，意为“被要求的”。句意：商人除了要会写一手漂亮的毛笔字外，另一项必备技能就是要会熟练地打算盘。
65．skillfully。此处需用副词修饰动词use。
