Suth Baltimre is ften thught f as a place t avid—flks are taught t be careful f it. There was a mass shting this past July, and anther in early September.
“Peple think Curtis Bay is a dangerus place. It’s nt. It’s just we’re surrunded by dangerus things,” says Taysia Thmpsn, 17.
Taysia, is ne f the Free Yur Vice members, a grup f student activists fighting against a very different kind f danger in their neighbrhd: air pllutin and climate change. Nw, the fcus f their mvement is the muntains f cal. Cal releases a fine, black dust small enugh t get int peple’s lungs. It makes respiratry (呼吸的) diseases wrse, r can even cause disease and premature death. And there are the greenhuse gas emissins after the cal is burned.
The teens f Free Yur Vice are taking n a big ppnent: the massive gds transprtatin cmpany CSX, which transprted mre than 8 millin tns f cal thrugh Suth Baltimre in 2021. The gal is t eventually get the state regulatrs t deny the permit that CSX needs t perate, r at least require the cmpany t enclse all the cal, r at the very least put water nt all f it s there’s less dust blwing arund.
This past summer, Taysia and three ther students spent their time gathering evidence t try and get the cal pllutin ut f their neighbrhd. They used sticky paper t gather samples f dust frm all ver the neighbrhd t prve that the dust is frm cal. They are als sending dust samples t a scientist in Califrnia, wh uses an electrn micrscpe t cmpare the dust that’s in this neighbrhd t samples frm the piles f cal at the terminal in Suth Baltimre t see if it matches.
The students nw have supprt frm their cmmunity. But the respnses frm fficials have nt been very satisfying. “Everyne is just breathing the air. And we will keep fighting.” says Taysia.
24．Why d the teens f Free Yur Vice take CSX as an ppnent?
A．T cure lung diseases.B．T tackle air pllutin.
C．T resist mass shtings.D．T cut premature death rate.
25．What d the teens f Free Yur Vice hpe t achieve?
A．Scientists will examine the dust samples.
B．Officials will refuse CSX the peratin permit.
C．State regulatrs will keep fighting against pllutin.
D．Lcals in Curtis Bay will clear the muntains f cal away.
26．What can be inferred abut the teens’ fight?
A．It isn’t all plain sailing.B．It will definitely end in victry.
C．The teens lack slid evidence.D．The teens wrk n it all by themselves.
27．Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A．Turists Aviding Dangerus Suth Baltimre
B．Teens Gaining Supprt in Envirnmental Prtectin
C．Student Activists Pushing back against Big Plluter
D．17-year-ld Girl Cmbating Cal Pllutin in Neighbrhd
【答案】24．B 25．B 26．A 27．C
【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了位于南巴尔的一群学生活动家——Free Yur Vice成员，他们致力于与莫尔地区存在空气污染问题作斗争。
24．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Taysia, is ne f the Free Yur Vice members, a grup f student activists fighting against a very different kind f danger in their neighbrhd: air pllutin and climate change. Nw, the fcus f their mvement is the muntains f cal. Cal releases a fine, black dust small enugh t get int peple’s lungs. It makes respiratry (呼吸的) diseases wrse, r can even cause disease and premature death. And there are the greenhuse gas emissins after the cal is burned. (Taysia是Free Yur Vice的成员之一，这是一群学生活动家，他们与社区中一种截然不同的危险作斗争：空气污染和气候变化。现在，他们运动的焦点是堆积如山的煤炭。煤会释放出细小的黑色尘埃，小到足以进入人们的肺部。它使呼吸系统疾病恶化，甚至可能导致疾病和过早死亡。还有煤炭燃烧后的温室气体排放。)”以及第四段中“The teens f Free Yur Vice are taking n a big ppnent: the massive gds transprtatin cmpany CSX, which transprted mre than 8 millin tns f cal thrugh Suth Baltimre in 2021. (Free Yur Vice 的青少年们正在面对一个巨大的对手：大型货物运输公司CSX，该公司在2021年通过南巴尔的摩运输了超过800万吨煤炭。)”可知，Free Yur Vice的青少年将CSX作为对手是为了解决空气污染问题，故选B项。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“The gal is t eventually get the state regulatrs t deny the permit that CSX needs t perate, r at least require the cmpany t enclse all the cal, r at the very least put water nt all f it s there’s less dust blwing arund. (目标是最终让州监管机构拒绝CSX运营所需的许可证，或者至少要求公司封闭所有煤炭，或者至少将水浇灌到所有煤炭上，以减少灰尘的吹动。)”可知，Free Yur Vice的青少年希望实现的目标是让官方拒绝CSX的运营许可，故选B项。
26．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“The students nw have supprt frm their cmmunity. But the respnses frm fficials have nt been very satisfying. (学生们现在得到了社区的支持。但官员们的回应并不是很令人满意。)”可知，官员并不支持，能推断出他们的抗争并非一帆风顺，故选A项。
27．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段中“Taysia, is ne f the Free Yur Vice members, a grup f student activists fighting against a very different kind f danger in their neighbrhd: air pllutin and climate change. (Taysia 是 Free Yur Vice 的成员之一，这是一群学生活动家，他们与社区中一种截然不同的危险作斗争：空气污染和气候变化)” 可知，由学生活动人士组成的组织Free Yur Vice，致力于改善巴尔的摩当地由煤炭带来的空气污染，尤其是运输煤炭的污染大户——大型货物运输公司CSX。由此可知，C项“学生积极分子反对污染大户”最适合作本文的标题，故选C项。

Peple wh have truble walking r mving arund ften have a hard time enjying the beach. But hundreds f beaches in Greece nw ffer a new way fr peple in wheelchairs t get int the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac.

28．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Seatrac is basically a chair n a mving ramp (活动梯) that can smthly carry a disabled persn int the sea. Once in the sea, the persn can either remain in the chair, enjying the water, r g fr a swim. The chair is perated by remte cntrl. (Seatrac基本上是活动梯上的一把椅子，可以平稳地将残疾人带入大海。一旦进入海中，这个人可以留在椅子上，享受水，或者去游泳。椅子由遥控器操作)”可知，Seatrac是实用且方便的，故选A项。
29．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“The idea fr it came when ne f the inventrs, Ignatis Ftiu, was talking with a friend wh used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjyed the sea, but didn’t like having t be carried int the cean as if he were a “sack f ptates”. (发明者之一Ignatis Ftiu在与一位使用轮椅的朋友交谈时产生了这个想法。这位朋友说他喜欢大海，但不喜欢像一袋土豆一样被带进大海)”可知，Mr. Ftiu设计Seatrac是因为他想帮助他的朋友在海里玩得开心。故选C项。
30．主旨大意题。根据第四段“The cmpany wrked hard t make the system simple t put in place and easy t run. A wden walkway allws wheelchair users t reach the Seatrac. The system is slar pwered and can cntinue t run even if the electricity ges ut. The Scatrac system can easily be packed up and stred when swimming seasn ends. (该公司努力使该系统易于安装和运行。木制人行道允许轮椅使用者到达Seatrac。该系统由太阳能供电，即使停电也可以继续运行。Scatrac系统可以在游泳季节结束时轻松打包和存放)”可知，本段主要讲述了Scatrac系统的优势，故选A项。
31．推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第一段的“But hundreds f beaches in Greece nw ffer a new way fr peple in wheelchairs t get int the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac.(但希腊数百个海滩现在为坐轮椅的人自己下水提供了一种新方式。它叫做Seatrac)”可知，整篇文章围绕着Seatrac系统展开，介绍了它的功能、设计理念、应用场景、制造公司等等。因此，文章的主要目的是介绍这个新的发明。故选D项。
Lifestyle creep, smetimes called lifestyle inflatin, is when living expenses and nn-essential expenditures grw with incme. In bad cases f lifestyle creep, this unnecessary spending can cut int savings.
Lifestyle creep is mst visible amng high earners, but anyne can fall int this trap. Wh hasn’t justified eating ut mre ften every week after receiving a 1 r 2 percent raise? The temptatin f a mre cstly lifestyle is difficult t resist. If yu’re making enugh mney t affrd a larger apartment, shuldn’t yu mve t a larger apartment?
Imprving yur standard f living as yur incme increases isn’t an bjectively bad thing, but when that habit cuts int yur savings effrts, it can be a majr financial risk. As Katie Waters, a financial planner at Stable Waters Financial, says, “Smething’s gt t give.”
Then hw t avid lifestyle creep? It just takes the same mderatin and planning yu used when yu had a smaller incme. If yu can, head ff lifestyle creep frm the beginning by giving yur raise r bnus mney a purpse immediately. This can be t pay dwn debt, save fr a huse, r add t retirement accunts. This way, yu wn’t be tempted t spend it n a nn-necessity. If yu fear yu’ve already fallen victim t lifestyle inflatin at any level, yu can still turn yur spending arund. If yu are putting all yur expenses n yur credit card, Waters recmmends rearranging s nly rutine, fixed mnthly expenses are n the card. “The mnthly variable csts—fd, clthing, persnal care, purchases fr the hme, the list ges n—are where yur mney slips away easily.” Waters says, “Calculate yur pssible savings each pay perid and put that mney int a separate checking accunt.”
“As with all things, the secret t managing yur finances like an adult is a cnstant strive fr balance,” Waters says. “Have fun alng the way, but dn’t let the tail wag the dg.”
32．What can we learn abut lifestyle creep?
A．It cntributes t a pay raise.B．It refers t a high living standard,
C．It smetimes affects a persn’s savings.D．It nly traps peple with a high incme.
33．Why des the authr qute Katie Waters’ wrds in paragraph 3?
A．T list the bad cnsequences f lifestyle creep.
B．T stress the imprtance f giving in ne’s life.
C．T shw that lifestyle creep is quite understandable.
D．T supprt that lifestyle creep can cause financial prblems.
34．What can be dne t avid lifestyle creep?
A．Put all the expenses n a credit card.B．Save the bnus mney fr a nn-necessity.
C．Increase the mnthly csts n fd and clthing.D．Set different checking accunts fr specific purpses.
35．What d the underlined wrds “dn’t let the tail wag the dg” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Dn’t bite the hand that feeds yu.B．Dn’t put the cart befre the hrse.
C．Dn’t d ne thing under the cver f antherD．Dn’t cunt the chicken befre they are hatched.
【答案】32．C 33．D 34．D 35．B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍“生活方式蠕变”是什么，对人们生活的影响以及如何避免生活方式蠕变。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“In bad cases f lifestyle creep, this unnecessary spending can cut int savings.(在糟糕的情况下，这种不必要的开支会减少储蓄)”可知，生活方式蠕变有时会影响一个人的储蓄。故选C。
33．推理判断题。根据第三段“Imprving yur standard f living as yur incme increases isn’t an bjectively bad thing, but when that habit cuts int yur savings effrts, it can be a majr financial risk. As Katie Waters, a financial planner at Stable Waters Financial, says, “Smething’s gt t give.”(随着收入的增加而提高生活水平，这在客观上并不是一件坏事，但当这种习惯削减了你的储蓄努力时，它可能是一个重大的财务风险。正如Stable Waters的理财规划师凯蒂·沃特斯所说，“总要有所付出。”)”可推知，作者在第三段引用凯蒂·沃特斯的话是为了支持这种生活方式的蠕变会导致财务问题。故选D。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段“Then hw t avid lifestyle creep? It just takes the same mderatin and planning yu used when yu had a smaller incme. (那么如何避免生活方式的蠕变呢?它只需要你在收入较少时使用的同样的适度和计划)”以及““The mnthly variable csts—fd, clthing, persnal care, purchases fr the hme, the list ges n—are where yur mney slips away easily.” Waters says, “Calculate yur pssible savings each pay perid and put that mney int a separate checking accunt.”(“每月的可变成本——食物、衣服、个人护理、家庭用品等等——是你的钱很容易溜走的地方。”沃特斯说：“计算每个工资期可能的储蓄，并将这笔钱存入一个单独的支票账户。”)”可知，为特定目的设置不同的支票账户能避免生活方式的蠕变。故选D。
35．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“As with all things, the secret t managing yur finances like an adult is a cnstant strive fr balance(与所有事情一样，像成年人一样管理财务的秘诀是不断努力保持平衡)”可知，沃特斯说与所有事情一样，像成年人一样管理财务的秘诀是不断努力保持平衡。即不影响让财务影响自己的生活，而是应该努力保持财务平衡，即“不要本末倒置”。故划线句意思是“不要本末倒置”。故选B。

Upn discharge (出院), the hspital gave Jake a “care package.” “I miss my 3-year-ld twins. I remember thinking hw much I wished there was a bk in the package that wuld ffer guidance fr hw t be a dad fllwing surgery. There wasn’t, but it was ut f that thught that this bk was brn.”

【答案】24．C 25．B 26．D 27．D
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。通过讲述Jake Ryan自己的经历来讲述Dear Diary Franklin这本书诞生的原因以及具体内容以及意义。
24．词句猜测题。根据后文“After his pen heart surgery, he was abut t enter a different and difficult jurney n the rad t physical and emtinal recvery.(在他的心脏直视手术后，他即将进入一段不同的、艰难的身体和情感恢复之路)”可知，it代指后文提到的他会经历一段艰难的康复期。故选C项。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段“I remember thinking hw much I wished there was a bk in the package that wuld ffer guidance fr hw t be a dad fllwing surgery. There wasn’t, but it was ut f that thught that this bk was brn.(我记得我当时在想，我多么希望包裹里有一本书能指导我如何在手术后成为一名父亲。没有，但正是出于这个想法，这本书诞生了)”可知，Ryan写这本是为了为术后父母提供支持。故选B项。
26．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Thrugh her diary, readers hear abut Hannah’s feelings and frustratins as she cpes with the anger, fear and cnfusin f the impact f her father’s surgery. What are they keeping frm me? And why? She repeatedly hears the catchall cliché (陈词滥调) “everything is ging t be fine” s many times that she can nly think anything but.

In nature, ctpuses (章鱼) hunt mainly with their sense f tuch, using their eight arms t feel ut their envirnment fr hidden creatures. Researchers at the University f Minnesta recently studied a different way ctpuses hunt—when they identify prey (猎物) based n sight. The study findings shw that the marine creatures are quite cnsistent and methdical in hw they apprach prey.
Lead researcher Trevr Wardill and his team placed Califrnia tw-spt ctpuses int water tanks, hiding them in caves where they wuld have ne eye lking ut. They then placed either fiddler crabs r white shrimp in the tanks t see hw the ctpuses wuld try t catch them, capturing the interactins n vide. The crabs and shrimp behave differently when trying t escape frm predatrs (捕猎者), s using bth species gave the researchers an pprtunity t see whether this led the ctpuses t use a different arm fr hunting depending n the prey.
Wardill’s team fund that the ctpuses almst always used the same arm t grab their prey. Specifically, the secnd arm frm the middle f the ctpuses’ bdy, n the same side f their bdy as the eye, caught the prey. If they needed mre arms t grab prey, they wuld use the nes next t the secnd arm.
The ctpuses als attacked differently depending n the prey. When faced with crabs, an ctpus wuld mve suddenly n tp f the crab with its whle bdy. Hwever, when catching shrimp, the ctpuses wuld take ne arm and reach ut very slwly tward the shrimp, then grab it and latch (缠住) nt it with its ther arms t pull it in.
Wardill and his team hpe t d mre research. They want t study the ctpus’s brain as it attacks pre y t develp a better understanding f what rle the creature’s nervus system plays in selecting the arms it uses.

An emplyee’s title is their identity. It gives them credibility in the ffice and makes them feel mre pwerful. In this sense, the plicy is a sensible way t help keep staff and attract tp candidates.
But if yu dn’t really deserve the new title, it culd cme back and truble yu.

【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了当前企业中因经济环境不好而出现的成本削减、头衔通胀等问题。为了安抚员工和求职者，企业采用的一种方法是给他们“高级”头衔，以弥补不能提供加薪或高薪的缺陷。虽然头衔可以增强员工在职场中的信誉，但如果头衔过高，却会给员工和求职者带来不利影响，特别是在找新工作时，会被招聘者认为是有不良动机的。
32．词句猜测题。根据第一段划线词前面的内容“Businesses are nw in cst-cutting mde. Title inflatin has crept int the wrkplace. (企业现在正处于成本削减模式。头衔膨胀已经蔓延到工作场所)”可知，企业现在正处于成本削减模式，由裁员、招聘冻结和对经济衰退的担忧已经对员工们带来了困扰。因此划线词应该与C选项“Trubling(困扰)”为同义词。故选C。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段“They are ffering impressive titles t sften the blw f nt prviding a raise t internal emplyees r big cmpensatin t jb candidates.(他们提供令人印象深刻的头衔，以减轻不给内部员工加薪或不给求职者提供高额薪酬的打击)”可知，听起来高大上的员工薪水与他们的头衔不匹配。故选B。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段“Hwever, a stumbling blck arises when they ntice the candidate has a higher title than the client ffers. Since a recruiter wants t make a placement and earn a fee, they wn't waste time and will seek ut ther candidates wh are a better fit. (然而，当他们注意到候选人的头衔高于客户提供的头衔时，就会遇到障碍。既然招聘人员想安排工作并赚取费用，他们就不会浪费时间，而是会寻找其他更适合的候选人)”可知，如果候选人的头衔高于客户的要求，招聘人员可能不会考虑该候选人。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“What’s mre, if yur current title is t high, it raises red flags. Fr example, when searching fr a new jb, if yur title is “directr,” but the new rle is under that level, the interviewer will curiusly inquire, “why d yu want t g dwn in title?””(更重要的是，如果我们目前的头衔太高，就会引发危险信号。例如，在寻找新工作时，如果你的头衔是“总监”，但新职位低于该级别，面试官会好奇地问：“你为什么要降级？”)”可知，招聘经理对那些选择降级的人的态度是怀疑的。故选D。

Ncturnal (夜间的) expsure t blue light cntaining shrt wavelength emissins (450-500 nm) — the kind f light prduced by the screens f many devices raises bld sugar levels and increases sugar intake, accrding t a study perfrmed n Sudanian grass rats.
“Much f the artificial light we are expsed t cmes frm LED lights and screens, which emit high levels f blue light,” said Anayanci Masis-Vargas frm the Universities f Strasburg and Amsterdam and his clleagues. Accrding t their study, retinal (网膜的) cells f the eye are sensitive t this blue light and directly cnvey infrmatin t areas f the brain that cntrl appetite.
In the study, the scientists expsed diurnal Sudanian grass rats t nighttime blue light (490 nm) and measured their fd cnsumptin and glucse (葡萄糖) tlerance the fllwing day. “In rder t better mdel human light expsure, the rats were diurnal, meaning awake during the day and asleep at night, rather than the typical ncturnal labratry rats which are awake during nighttime hurs,” the researchers explained. They fund that after nly ne hur f ncturnal blue light expsure, glucse tlerance was changed in the rats, a warning sign f pre-diabetes.
T investigate what happens with appetite cntrl and fd chice after expsure t blue light at night, in the fllw-up study, the rats were given the ptin t chse amng a nutritinally balanced fd, water, pig fat, and sugar water. After the expsure t blue light, the study authrs bserved that the rats preferred sugar water and drank mre f it that night than during the nights with n blue light expsure. As the experiment cntinued, the researchers nticed mre expsure t blue light caused rats’ heavier bdies as well.
“Limiting the amunt f time that we spend in frnt f screens at night is, fr nw, the best measure t prtect urselves frm the harmful effects f blue light,” Masis-Vargas said. “In case it is necessary t be expsed t device s at night, I wuld recmmend the night mde features n the devices, which turn the screens mre range and less blue r the use f blue light filtering glasses that are already available in the market.”
32．Accrding t the study,ncturnal expsure t blue light will ________.
A．affect bld pressureB．influence appetite
C．disturb the delivery f infrmatinD．decrease retinal cells f the eye
33．Why were diurnal rats used instead f ncturnal rats in the study?
A．Their sleep mdel is simpler t fllw.
B．Their sugar intake is easier t measure.
C．Their light cntact is similar t that f humans.

【解析】这是一篇说明文，一项研究表明，夜间暴露在蓝光下会提高血糖水平，增加糖的摄入量，研究人员建议限制晚上的屏幕使用时间，或者在电子设备上安装夜间模式功能或者使用蓝光过滤眼镜。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Accrding t their study, retinal (网膜的) cells f the eye are sensitive t this blue light and directly cnvey infrmatin t areas f the brain that cntrl appetite.(根据他们的研究，眼睛的视网膜细胞对这种蓝光很敏感，并直接将信息传递给控制食欲的大脑区域)”可知，根据研究显示，夜间暴露在蓝光下会影响食欲，故选B。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“‘In rder t better mdel human light expsure, the rats were diurnal, meaning awake during the day and asleep at night, rather than the typical ncturnal labratry rats which are awake during nighttime hurs,’ the researchers explained.(研究人员解释说：“为了更好地模拟人类的光暴露，这些老鼠是昼行性的，也就是说白天醒着，晚上睡觉，而不是典型的夜间活动的实验室老鼠，在夜间醒着。”)”可知，研究中使用昼行性老鼠是因为它们的光接触与人类相似。故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段“T investigate what happens with appetite cntrl and fd chice after expsure t blue light at night, in the fllw-up study, the rats were given the ptin t chse amng a nutritinally balanced fd, water, pig fat, and sugar water. After the expsure t blue light, the study authrs bserved that the rats preferred sugar water and drank mre f it that night than during the nights with n blue light expsure. As the experiment cntinued, the researchers nticed mre expsure t blue light caused rats’ heavier bdies as well.(为了研究夜间暴露在蓝光下后食欲控制和食物选择的变化，在后续研究中，让大鼠选择营养均衡的食物、水、猪脂肪和糖水。在暴露在蓝光下后，研究作者观察到老鼠更喜欢糖水，并且当晚喝的糖水比没有蓝光的夜晚要多。随着实验的继续，研究人员注意到更多的蓝光照射也会导致老鼠的体重增加)”可知，后续研究考虑到了食物选择、动物的体重和食物消耗，D项“动物性别”不符合题意，故选D。
35．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“‘Limiting the amunt f time that we spend in frnt f screens at night is, fr nw, the best measure t prtect urselves frm the harmful effects f blue light,’ Masis-Vargas said.(Masis-Vargas说：“目前，限制我们晚上在屏幕前的时间是保护我们免受蓝光有害影响的最佳措施。”)”可知，Masis-Vargas认为限制晚上的屏幕使用时间是减轻蓝光危害的最有效方法，故选C。

Electric air taxis culd ne day mve cmmuters(通勤者) frm dwntwn Chicag t O’ HareInternatinal Airprt r t the suburbs, high abve expressway traffic, in a fractin f the time it takes t drive.
That’s the visin f electric aircraft develper Eve, which is leading a grup f aviatin cmpanies and lcal gvernments cnducting simulatins(模拟) in Chicag. Thugh the aircraft are likely years away frm receiving federal authrizatin t fly, it’s a visin shared by ther majr cmpanies, like Chicag-based United Airlines, which recently struck a cnditinal agreement t purchase at least 200 f Eve’s flying taxis.
Eve c-CEO Andre Stein said the air taxis are nthing like electric helicpters r flying cars. They will use eight mtrs distributed arund the aircraft t take ff vertically, then electric pushers and wings t glide frward.
Stein envisins the air taxis helping cmmuters reach meetings acrss twn r prviding a way t get hme quickly in time fr a child’s birthday. Rather than an everyday ptin like cmmuter rail r public transprt, they can help save time in urgent situatins, he said.
The cncept f bypassing grund transprtatin by air isn’t new. Helicpter taxi service already exists in cities like New Yrk, where a flight can smetimes be cmparable t r cheaper than the cst f a ride-share frm an airprt int Manhattan.
But Stein said the new technlgy is expected t make air taxis mre affrdable than helicpters and estimated a pssible ticket price culd be arund $100 t travel 20 miles. He als mentined what he described as imprved efficiency and sustainability.
“It’s much simpler, much lwer maintenance than a helicpter, much quieter and mre pleasant,” he said.
Fr nw, Eve hpes the Chicag simulatins will help prvide a better understanding f hw the air taxis culd fit int current air traffic patterns and hw they can cnnect with users’ jurneys via grund transprtatin t the heliprt.
“It’s really abut bringing anther ptin fr urban air mbility,” Stein said.
28．Which statement is true abut electric air taxis?
A．It’s a brand new innvative attempt t relieve the traffic jam.
B．Gvernment’s apprval fr the fficial flights has nt been granted.
C．Helicpter taxi service in New Yrk is cheaper than the cst f a car ride.
D．Sme majr cmpanies have prmised t buy Eve’s flying taxis withut strings attached.
29．What des the underlined wrd “bypass” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Avid.B．Cnduct.C．Restrict.D．Cntrl.
30．Which ne is NOT air taxis’ ptential advantage ver helicpters accrding t Andre Stein?
A．Mre affrdable price.B．Better flight experience.
C．Lwer prductin cst.D．Imprved envirnmental friendliness.
31．What’s the purpse f the n-ging aircraft simulatins in Chicag?
A．T ppularize the new pattern f air traffic.
B．T prmte the sales f the electric air taxis.
C．T replace cmmuter rails and public transprtatin.
D．T integrate electric air taxis int existing urban traffic mde.
【答案】28．B 29．A 30．C 31．D

28．细节理解题。由文章第二段“Thugh the aircraft are likely years away frm receiving federal authrizatin t fly, it’s a visin shared by ther majr cmpanies, like Chicag-based United Airlines, which recently struck a cnditinal agreement t purchase at least 200 f Eve’s flying taxis.(尽管这架飞机距离获得联邦飞行授权可能还有几年的时间，但其他大公司也有同样的愿景，比如总部位于芝加哥的联合航空公司，该公司最近达成了一项有条件的协议，将购买至少200辆伊芙的飞行出租车。)”可知，官方对航班的授权尚未得到批准。故选B项。
29．词句猜测题。由文章第五段“The cncept f bypassing grund transprtatin by air isn’t new. Helicpter taxi service already exists in cities like New Yrk, where a flight can smetimes be cmparable t r cheaper than the cst f a ride-share frm an airprt int Manhattan.(通过空运 地面运输的概念并不新鲜。直升机出租车服务已经在纽约等城市存在，在那里，航班有时可以与从机场到曼哈顿的拼车费用相当或便宜。)”可以推测，bypassing应该表示“绕过，避免”的意思。故选A项。
30．细节理解题。由文章第六段“But Stein said the new technlgy is expected t make air taxis mre affrdable than helicpters and estimated a pssible ticket price culd be arund $100 t travel 20 miles. He als mentined what he described as imprved efficiency and sustainability.(但斯坦因表示，这项新技术预计将使空中出租车比直升机更实惠，并估计行驶20英里的票价可能在100美元左右。他还提到了他所说的效率和可持续性的提高。)”以及第七段“It’s much simpler, much lwer maintenance than a helicpter, much quieter and mre pleasant(它比直升机简单得多，维护成本低得多，更安静、更舒适)”可知，与直升机比，坐空中出租车更便宜，更好的飞行体验并且更环保，而文章没有提到生产成本。故选C项。
31．推理判断题。由倒数第二段“Fr nw, Eve hpes the Chicag simulatins will help prvide a better understanding f hw the air taxis culd fit int current air traffic patterns and hw they can cnnect with users’ jurneys via grund transprtatin t the heliprt.(目前，伊芙希望芝加哥的模拟将有助于更好地了解空中出租车如何适应当前的空中交通模式，以及它们如何通过地面运输与用户的旅程连接到直升机场。)”可知，芝加哥正在进行的飞机模拟是为了将电动空中出租车整合到现有的城市交通模式中。故选D项。
Scientists have cnfirmed that fssilized ftprints fund in New Mexic are between 21,000 and 23,000 years ld — meaning humans existed in Nrth America much earlier than previusly believed.
It was believed humans existed in Nrth America smewhere between 13,500 and 16,000 years ag. S, were the prints — sme f which lk distinctly human with five tes — really between 21,000 and 23,000 years ld?
Researchers frm the U. S. Gelgical Survey (USGS) and ther scientists decided t d a fllw-up study, using tw new appraches t determine the age f the prints.
“The immediate reactin in sme circles f the archelgical (考古的) cmmunity was that the accuracy f ur dating was insufficient t make the extrardinary claim that humans were present in Nrth America during the Last Glacial Maximum,” said c-authr f the new study, Jeff Pigati, a USGS research gelgist. “But ur targeted methdlgy in this current research really paid ff.”
The scientists initially used seeds frm the Ruppia cirrhsa plant fund in the fssils. They used radicarbn dating t determine the age f the seeds, but because the plants are aquatic (水生的) and can hld carbn frm the water instead f the air, the age estimate culd have been ff.
S, in the new study, they used radicarbn dating n cnifer pllen, which cmes frm plants n earth, that were fund in the same layers as the seeds. “Even as the riginal wrk was being published, we were pushing frward t test ur results with multiple lines f evidence,” said c-authr Kathleen Springer, a USGS research gelgist. “We were cnfident in ur riginal ages, but we knew that independent time-related cntrl was critical.” The researchers had t islate 75,000 pllen grains frm the same layer and fund that their age was statistically identical t the Ruppia cirrhsa seeds.
T further check their dating, they als tested quartz grains fund in the ftprints using a different dating prcess, ptically stimulated luminescence. They fund the quartz had a minimum age f abut 21,500 years.
USGS says with three supprting pieces f evidence, it is unlikely the age range f 21,000 t 23,000 years is incrrect.
32．What can be learned abut the newly fund fssils?
A．They cntain diverse sea plants.
B．Mst f them lk like humans’ ftprints.
C．They date bake t the Last Glacial Maximum.
D．They will bring abut grund-breaking discveries.
33．Why did the scientists use cnifer pllen fr dating in the fllw-up study?
A．T imprve dating accuracy.B．T remve the public dubts.
C．T prve the previus assumptin.D．T test the mst advanced apprach.
34．What was Kathleen’s attitude tward their previus findings abut the ftprints?
A．Uncertain.B．Optimistic.C．Dubtful.D．Reserved.
35．What is the text mainly abut?
A．Age f fssilized ftprints cnfirmed.B．Challenges in dating ancient ftprints.
C．Early human migratin t Nrth America.D．Radicarbn dating in archaelgical research.
【答案】32．C 33．A 34．B 35．A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。科学家证实，在新墨西哥州发现的脚印化石距今有2.1万至2.3万年前，这意味着人类在北美存在的时间比之前认为的要早得多。文章对此进行了介绍。
32．细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的“The immediate reactin in sme circles f the archelgical (考古的) cmmunity was that the accuracy f ur dating was insufficient t make the extrardinary claim that humans were present in Nrth America during the Last Glacial Maximum(考古学界的一些圈子的直接反应是，我们的年代测定的准确性不足以断言人类在末次盛冰期出现在北美)”可知，新发现的化石可以追溯到末次盛冰期。故选C。
33．推理判断题。根据第六段第一句“S, in the new study, they used radicarbn dating n cnifer pllen, which cmes frm plants n earth, that were fund in the same layers as the seeds.(因此，在这项新研究中，他们对针叶树花粉进行了放射性碳测年，针叶树花粉来自地球上的植物，与种子在同一层中被发现。)”和第二句中的“Even as the riginal wrk was being published, we were pushing frward t test ur results with multiple lines f evidence(即使在最初的研究成果发表的时候，我们也在用多种证据来检验我们的结果)”可知，科学家们在后续研究中使用针叶树花粉来测定年代是为了提高年代测定的准确性。故选A。
34．推理判断题。根据第六段第二句中的“Even as the riginal wrk was being published, we were pushing frward t test ur results with multiple lines f evidence(即使在最初的研究成果发表的时候，我们也在用多种证据来检验我们的结果)”和第三句“We were cnfident in ur riginal ages, but we knew that independent time-related cntrl was critical.(我们对自己的原始年代测定很有信心，但我们知道独立的时间相关控制是至关重要的。)”可知，凯瑟琳对他们之前关于脚印的发现持乐观态度。故选B。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists have cnfirmed that fssilized ftprints fund in New Mexic are between 21,000 and 23,000 years ld — meaning humans existed in Nrth America much earlier than previusly believed.(科学家证实，在新墨西哥州发现的脚印化石距今有2.1万至2.3万年前，这意味着人类在北美存在的时间比之前认为的要早得多。)”可知，文章主要是讲在新墨西哥州发现的脚印化石年代得到科学证实。故选A。

In February 2022, I began learning Chinese. Almst a year later, I fund myself in Beijing, the capital f China. Befre cming here, I had attended Chinese classes, and I culd sense my prgress in the language, albeit mdest. As yu might expect, studying fr just ne year wasn’t sufficient t claim fluency, and t be hnest, I’m nt there yet. But full prficiency in the language is nt necessary t immerse yurself in and enjy many attractins f life in China.
The ne thing that truly makes me feel cmfrtable and alleviates lneliness is making friends and engaging in cnversatin. At Tsinghua University, where I pursued my studies in China, I made friends with many Chinese yung peple and relished spending time with them, be it fr meals r leisure activities. I’ve been delighted t sing Chinese sngs, fr example, thse by the famus Chinese singer Jay Chu, with my friends. I wuld als sing well-knwn Japanese sngs, such as Lemn, which, as it turns ut, is very ppular in China. I felt that cnnecting with my Chinese peers thrugh a shared passin, such as singing, was incredibly enjyable and beautiful. It transcended language barriers and fstered a sense f unity and jy that was truly special.
During breaks frm study, I frequently embarked n sl jurneys acrss China. Althugh I have experienced traveling n vernight trains fr ver 12 hurs several times and explred unfamiliar cities, I never felt fearful r unwelcme as a freigner. Chinese peple are cnsistently warm and welcme t freigners, and eager t engage in cnversatin.
I nce participated in cmmunity activities in Nrthwest China’s Gansu prvince t gain a deeper understanding f China’s rural areas and cntribute t the develpment f lcal cmmunities and educatin. As a vlunteer teacher at a lcal schl, I shared cntemprary and traditinal Japanese culture such as anime, architecture, pp music and languages with the students. Since Japanese kanji riginated in China, there are many similarities between the Japanese and Chinese languages.
24．What is necessary fr the authr t enjy attractins f life in China?
A．Having prficiency in Chinese.B．Befriending with freign turists.
C．Setting ut n sl jurneys alne.D．Cmmunicating with Chinese lcals.
25．What des the underlined wrd “relished” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Advcated.B．Enjyed.C．Pstpned.D．Avided.
26．Hw did the authr develp the text?
A．By listing numbers.B．By giving examples.
C．By making cmparisn.D．By setting questins.

In 2018, Jeff Highsmith f Texas started a Facebk page n behalf f his family. The page had ne bjective: t find Melissa Highsmith, Jeff’s sister. At just 21 mnths, she had been abducted 51 years earlier and the family was desperate fr answers.
In additin t the Facebk page, they made flyers with baby Melissa’s face and age-prgressin phts that indicated what she might lk like nw, in her fifties. Remarkably, they were cnvinced she was still alive all these years later, and determined t be reunited with her.
They knew that mre tls were nw available t help lcate missing persns— such as genealgy kits with DNA tests. And s, the family bught kit s frm 23 and Me, and then upladed the results t a public database called GED match.
It seemed like a sht in the dark, but it wrked. In Nvember 2022, the Highsmith family fund Melissa thrugh a key DNA match: Melissa’s daughter. By pulling the threads f DNA matches, they zered in n the baby snatched s lng ag. The family re unin was a jyful ne. Melissa described being fund as “the mst wnderful feeling in the wrld”.
The stry f Melissa Highsmith and her family gt glbal news cverage. But it’s nly ne f many cases f peple being cnnected by DNA analysis. In Canada, siblings separately adpted frm Rmania when they were babies were reunited in their fifties when bth tk a DNA test t learn mre abut their bilgical health, and it turned ut they had spent much f their lives within a 30-minute drive f each ther. Anther tw sisters— ne in the UK, the ther in the Netherlands— met fr the first time in 75 years after learning that they had the same father. There are cuntless stries abut hw DNA was being used t reunite children with their parents.
Fr the Highsmith family, happily reunited in Texas after decades apart, DNA was the link. “Our finding Melissa was purely because f DNA, nt because f any plice invlvement, pdcast invlvement, cmmunities, r even ur family’s wn private investigatins r speculatins,” ntes ne Facebk update.

Ancient builders acrss the wrld created structures that are still standing tday, thusands f years later. Rman engineers built thick cncrete sea barriers, fr example. And Chinese builders raised walls against invaders. But there are many recent structures that are already starting t fail. The cncrete that makes up much f ur mdern wrld lasts arund 50 t 100 years.
A grwing number f scientists have been studying materials frm lng ag. They are breaking apart pieces f buildings and reading histrical texts hping t learn hw they have std fr thusands f years. The research has turned up a surprising list f materials that were mixed int ld buildings. They include tree bark, vlcanic ash, rice, beer and even urine (尿液). These unexpected materials culd have the ability t get strnger ver time and “heal” cracks when they frm.
Figuring ut hw t cpy these features culd have real impacts tday. While ur mdern cncrete has the strength t hld up very tall buildings and heavy infrastructure (基础结构), it cannt cmpete with the endurance f these ancient materials. With the rising threats f climate change, there is a grwing call t make cnstructin mre sustainable. A recent UN reprt estimates that the built envirnment is respnsible fr mre than a third f carbn dixide emissins wrldwide. Cement (水泥) prductin alne makes up mre than 7 percent f thse emissins.
Is ancient Rman cncrete better? In places where seawater has been hitting structures fr ages, yu will find cncrete “basically the way it was when it was pured 2,000 years ag,” said Jhn Olesn, an archaelgist at the University f Victria in Canada.
Mst mdern cncrete starts with Prtland cement, a pwder made by heating limestne (石灰岩) and clay t super-high temperatures and breaking them up. That cement is mixed with water t create a paste. Then, materials like rck and gravel are added. Recrds frm ancient builders shw the Rman prcess was similar. The ancient builders mixed materials like burnt limestne and vlcanic sand with water and rcks, creating chemical reactins t tie everything tgether.
Nw, scientists think they have fund an imprtant reasn why sme Rman cncrete has held up structures fr thusands f years. The ancient material has an unusual pwer t repair itself. Exactly hw is nt yet clear, s scientists are starting t find reasns why.

A dctr walked int an perating rm where an peratin was being perfrmed. Everything seemed t be ging well, but the dctr nticed that n ne was wearing a face mask. He was surprised -- wearing a face mask is a basic hspital prcedure. But he didn’t say anything. The peratin was a success, but a few days later the patient came dwn with a fever. It turned ut that she had cntracted a serius infectin, prbably because the dctrs and nurses hadn’t fllwed a simple rule.
Atul Gawande was interested in that stry and carried ut a research n the imprtance f a checklist t bst hspital services. Gawande is a dctr himself, and in his research he suggests that if surgens run thrugh a simple checklist befre every peratin, then lives will be saved. And he’s gt the numbers t prve it. In 2001, an experiment at an American hspital required dctrs t use a five-pint checklist befre they carried ut specific prcedures. The checklist was just a list f rutine things dctr shuld nrmally d withut thinking -- wearing latex glves, washing their hands befre and after every patient, and s n. By making sure that the checklist was fllwed, there were almst n infectins during the 27 mnths f the experiment, and they estimate that arund eight lives were saved. When the checklist was tested again in hspitals in Michigan, infectins went dwn by 66 percent.
In his study, Gawande lks at ther prfessins, t, t supprt his argument that checklists reduce accidents and imprve success rates. He pints ut that peple like engineers and pilts use checklists all the time, and he cmes up with sme gd examples. Just imagine that an airplane crashed because the pilt had failed t fllw basic prcedures. Suppse a skyscraper cllapsed because the engineers hadn’t remembered t d sme imprtant calculatins. Peple wuld demand that fficials lk int these events immediately.
Gawande’s study finding is really interesting and received much public attentin. It reminds us that smetimes the easiest way t avid making mistakes is t fllw a very simple set f rules. It’s relevant fr all f us, nt just fr dctrs.
24．The functin f the first paragraph in this text is t ________.
A．intrduce the rigin f the idea fr Gawande’s study
B．explain the imprtance f the basic hspital prcedure
C．explre the causes f infectins amng patients in hspitals
D．emphasize the urgency f prviding relevant training t dctrs

A．Yung medical staff need t fllw the checklists.
B．Checklists are necessary fr hspitals in particular.
C．Hspitals are required t maintain gd management.
D．Medical infectins can be reduced by bserving a set f rules.
26．What can we learn frm paragraph 3?
A．Air crashes hardly ccurred with the basic prcedures.
B．Gawande intends t prmte his idea t ther prfessins.
C．High buildings may cllapse due t engineers’ miscalculatins.
D．It is a must fr a pilt r engineer t use their checklists.

24．推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“It turned ut that she had cntracted a serius infectin, prbably because the dctrs and nurses hadn’t fllwed a simple rule.”（结果她得了严重的感染，可能是因为医生和护士没有遵守一个简单的规则。）及第二段第一句“Atul Gawande was interested in that stry and carried ut a research n the imprtance f a checklist t bst hspital services.”（Atul Gawande对这个故事很感兴趣，并开展了一项关于清单对提高医院服务的重要性的研究。）可知，第一段描述的医疗事故激发了Atul Gawande去研究严格执行操作程序清单的重要性，故第一段介绍了Atul Gawande的研究想法的来源。故选A项。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“By making sure that the checklist was fllwed, there were almst n infectins during the 27 mnths f the experiment, and they estimate that arund eight lives were saved. When the checklist was tested again in hspitals in Michigan, infectins went dwn by 66 percent.”（通过确保遵守清单，在27个月的实验中几乎没有感染，他们估计大约有8条生命得救。当这份清单在密歇根州的医院再次进行测试时，感染率下降了66%。）可知，这两个实验都表明严格执行操作程序清单可以减少医疗事故，提高手术成功率。故选D项。
26．推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“He pints ut that peple like engineers and pilts use checklists all the time, and he cmes up with sme gd examples.”（他指出，像工程师和飞行员这样的人一直在使用清单，他举出了一些很好的例子。）及第三四句“Just imagine that an airplane crashed because the pilt had failed t fllw basic prcedures. Suppse a skyscraper cllapsed because the engineers hadn’t remembered t d sme imprtant calculatins.”（想象一下，一架飞机因为飞行员没有遵守基本程序而坠毁。假设一座摩天大楼因为工程师们忘记做一些重要的计算而倒塌。）可知，Gawande发现严格遵守操作程序对其他行业的重要性。像工程师及飞行员等职业稍一疏忽就会造成重大的事故，故飞行员或工程师必须严格执行操作程序清单。故选D项。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Gawande’s study finding is really interesting and received much public attentin. It reminds us that smetimes the easiest way t avid making mistakes is t fllw a very simple set f rules. It’s relevant fr all f us, nt just fr dctrs.”（Gawande的研究发现非常有趣，受到了公众的广泛关注。它提醒我们，有时候避免犯错最简单的方法就是遵循一套非常简单的规则。这与我们所有人都相关，而不仅仅是医生。）可知，作者认为Gawande的研究非常有价值，对其持认可的态度。故选C项。
Can humans really understand what animals are saying, r are we just barking up the wrng tree?
“Artificial intelligence (AI) hlds the key t unlcking the fascinating insights. Beynd creating chatbts that charm peple, machine learning may sn make it pssible t decde (解码) animal calls,” says Raskin, c-funder f the nnprfit Earth Species Prject. It’s develping AI mdels that imitate a variety f species, aiming t have “cnversatins” with animals. Its team is cllecting diverse data frm varius species and building machine-learning mdels fr analysis. Prject CETI (鲸类动物翻译计划) fcuses n understanding a particular species, in this case the sperm whale.
Sperm whales have cmplex scial grups. When a familiar yung male rejined his family, researchers seized the chance t recrd their sunds. Fr tw decades, scientists dcumented tw sperm whale grups, capturing their clicking sunds. After manually decding sme sunds, they turned t AI fr faster translatin. Using a neural (神经的) netwrk, the team trained it t discern individual whales frm a subset f sunds. Next, their ambitius gal is t train a cmputer t speak whale.
As tech advances, the dr has been pened t using machine learning t decde unfamiliar languages. It’s fund that AI tls have practical value beynd research. Translating animal sunds aids endangered species. Scientists study caged birds’ calls t grasp sund changes, explaining difficulties in reintrductin. Machine learning decdes pets’ signals like barks and facial expressins. Raskin’s AI mdel translates dgs’ expressins, revealing their surprising capabilities t wners. Additinally, it helps predict pig emtins based n their sunds, enhancing animal welfare. Advancements deepen ur understanding f animals.
Nw enthusiastic scientists are cmmitted t pen-surce data and mdel sharing. “Every time yu invent a technlgy, yu als invent a respnsibility,” Raskin says. “Designing a ‘whale chatbt’ demands we imagine an animal’s experience. The true value f any language is that it helps us relate t thers.”
28．What is the purpse f the Earth Species Prject?
A．T gather vast data with a cmputer.
B．T create chatbts that imitate animals.
C．T understand animal languages using AI.
D．T study the scial behavir f sperm whales.
29．What des the underlined wrd “discern” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Train.B．Recgnize.C．Recrd.D．Prtect.
30．Hw d AI tls prvide practical value in deepening ur insights int animals?
A．By translating animals’ calls and lks.B．By advancing animal well-being.
C．By reintrducing endangered species.D．By studying animals’ negative emtins.
31．What can be a suitable title fr the text?

In the autumn f 2020, while stargazing n his balcny in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Teju Cle was inspired t start taking phts f his kitchen cunter. He cmpared the daily migratins f his pts, pans, spns, and graters t the revlutins f celestial bdies (天体), and began t track them in a “cunter histry”. A year later, he published the results as Glden Apple f the Sun (2021), a bk-length pht essay that expands his islated dmestic experiment until it seems t include the whle wrld. Cle writes abut the hunger he suffered as a barding-schl student in Nigeria, Dutch Glden Age still-lifes, slavery and the sugary recipes in an ancient ckbk. “The later a phtgraph is in a given sequence, the heavier it is,” Cle explained. Smehw, frm this kitchen sink f memir (回忆录), art histry, and bservant bredm emerges a prtrait f the pandemic’s cllective slitude, “this year f feeling buried in the dark earth like bulbs.”
Cle’s wrk makes an art—and a necessary virtue—f clse lking. Open City (2011), his first nvel, wn praise fr its prtrayal f pst-9/11 New Yrk, whse buried histries f vilence and displacement resurface in the curse f a medical student’s wanderings. In Cle’s essays, tranquil Vermeers reveal traces f empire in clnial times, and strmy Caravaggis picture befrehand the uncertain jurneys f twenty-first-century migrants.
His great theme is the limits f visin, and the way that these limits can serve as the basis fr a kind f secnd sight. “Amng the human rights is the right t remain unseen and dark,” Cle writes in Black Paper (2021); a recent essay cllectin. In his wn pictures, peple seldm appear directly, but their presence is everywhere implied.

My phne rang after I barded a plane. It was my PhD adviser calling t tell me there were identified flaws in the paper I had just published in Nature. My stmach drpped as he tld me the authrs f the critique(评论)were demanding a retractin(撤回). That day I spent the 16-hur flight prcessing a mix f emtins—disbelief, embarrassment, frustratin.
After the plane landed, I immediately read the critique myself, which was harsh and thrugh, pinting ut several fundamental flaws in ur methds and in the basic data. The fallut was swift and intense. I received a fld f emails and messages. Sme were frm supprtive clleagues, but many were harshly critical f my wrk.I was depressed, wndering what this wuld mean fr my career.
I wrte a respnse, crrecting the apparent errrs in the data set. When it became clear that the retractin was unavidable, I frmally ffered my resignatin t my department head. He didn’t accept it, saying a resignatin wasn’t needed cnsidering the errrs in the paper were hnest mistakes.
The experience helped me grw as a scientist. I knw it is better t be pen and accuntable, even if it means admitting mistakes. I can’t expect myself t knw everything as a scientist and my wrk will be strnger if I seek ut diverse expertise and pinins.
The reality is that retractins are a necessary part f the scientific prcess—and ne that shuldn’t be viewed nly thrugh a negative lens. Retractins can als be an pprtunity t learn and imprve. Hnest mistakes happen, and researchers shuld be encuraged, nt punished, fr ding the right thing and retracting flawed wrk.

It wuld appear t be slid guidance in tday’s mdern wrkfrce t tell sme ne wh wants the “3Fs”— flexibility, fulfillment, and financial independence — t “just g freelance”, right? The large numbers and data supprt this directin and suggest that it culd be regarded as safe and wise advice.
Hwever, telling smene wh is unhappy in their current prfessinal situatin t “just g freelance”, is like telling them t climb Mt Qmlangma withut xygen: 5% f climbers have succeeded, s it can be dne, but there will be hardship and a much higher chance f failure. Just as ne shuld weigh the risks f attempting t climb the 8848.86m muntain withut essential supplies, the idea f being freelancers must be truly understd.

【答案】32．B 33．D 34．A 35．C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者对做自由职业者的看法并给出了建议。
32．推理判断题。由文章第三段“Hwever, telling smene wh is unhappy in their current prfessinal situatin t “just g freelance”, is like telling them t climb Mt Qmlangma withut xygen: 5% f climbers have succeeded, s it can be dne, but there will be hardship and a much higher chance f failure. Just as ne shuld weigh the risks f attempting t climb the 8848.86m muntain withut essential supplies, the idea f being freelancers must be truly understd. (然而，告诉那些对目前的职业状况不满意的人“去做自由职业者吧”，就像告诉他们在没有氧气的情况下攀登珠穆朗玛峰：5%的登山者成功了，所以这是可以做到的，但会有困难，失败的可能性要高得多。就像一个人应该权衡在没有必要补给的情况下攀登8848.86米高的山峰的风险一样，作为自由职业者的想法必须得到真正的理解)”以及第四段中“Besides, mre than half(58%) f freelancers have experienced nn-payment frm clients, and mst d nt have retirement plans r affrdable health insurance. Many freelancers fail after the first year as a result f making avidable mistakes with nly a third making it. (此外，超过一半(58%)的自由职业者经历过客户不付款的情况，大多数人没有退休计划或负担得起的医疗保险。许多自由职业者在第一年就失败了，因为只有三分之一的人犯了可以避免的错误)”可推知，作为自由职业者没有更安全的环境。故选B。
33．推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Hwever, telling smene wh is unhappy in their current prfessinal situatin t “just g freelance”, is like telling them t climb Mt Qmlangma withut xygen: 5% f climbers have succeeded, s it can be dne, but there will be hardship and a much higher chance f failure.

34．推理判断题。由文章第四段“The number is increasingly grwing, hwever, actually three quarters f self-described freelancers in the USare part-time, meaning the vast majrity are using freelance wrk as a side hustle (副业).

(这个数字还在不断增长，然而，实际上在美国，自称为自由职业者的人中有四分之三是兼职的，这意味着绝大多数人都把自由职业作为副业。更重要的是，研究表明70%的全职自由职业者参加了技能提升培训。此外，超过一半(58%)的自由职业者经历过客户不付款的情况，大多数人没有退休计划或负担得起的医疗保险。许多自由职业者在第一年就失败了，因为只有三分之一的人犯了可以避免的错误)”可推知，作者认为，有关自由职业者增长的统计数据有危险的误导性，作者很担忧。故选A。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段“We can’t simply tell peple t “just g freelance” unless we als tell them t invest in training and cperate with like-minded, supprtive cmmunities t strengthen industry rights befre they start their jurney t the summit as an individual, but never alne. (我们不能简单地告诉人们“做自由职业者”，除非我们也告诉他们投资培训，并与志同道合的、支持他们的社区合作，在他们以个人身份开始他们的峰会之旅之前，加强行业权利，但绝不能独自一人)”可知，作者主要分析了从事自由职业所面临的种种困难和挑战，探讨了从事自由职业是否是一种明智的选择，告诫大家成为一名自由职业者并不像想象中那么容易，对此发表了自己的看法并给出了建议。故选C。

Over the years, the rchestra (管弦乐团) has strengthened cnnectins acrss China, with cncerts and residencies that facilitate meaningful peple-t-peple interactins.
Bth said the 1973 tur was his first internatinal trip with the rchestra. He cnsidered himself lucky t have been part f the tur. He had just auditined (试演) and gt accepted int the rchestra that year.

BANGKOK -The wrld is “failing” n a cmmitment t stp and reverse (彻底改变) defrestatin by 2030, with glbal lsses increasing last year, a grup f NGOs and researchers warned Tuesday.
In 2021, leaders frm ver 100 cuntries and territries—representing the vast majrity f the wrld’s frests—prmised t stp and reverse frest lss by 2030. But an annual assessment released Tuesday fund glbal defrestatin actually increased by fur percent last year, and the wrld remains well ff track t meet the 2030 cmmitment. “That 2030 gal is nt just nice t have, it’s essential fr maintaining a livable climate fr humanity,” warned Erin Matsn, a lead authr f the Frest Declaratin Assessment.
Frests are nt nly key habitats fr animal life but serve as imprtant regulatrs f the glbal climate and carbn spnges that take in the emissins human activity generates. Hwever, defrestatin last year was ver 20 percent higher than it shuld have been t meet the leaders’ cmmitment, with 6.6 millin hectares f frest lst, much f it primary frest in trpical regins.
“Data year ver year des tend t shift. S ne year is nt the be all, end all,” said Matsn. “But what is really imprtant is the trend. And since the baseline f 2018 t 2020, we’re ging in the wrng directin.”
The assessment was nt universally depressing, with abut 50 cuntries cnsidered n curse t end defrestatin. In particular, Brazil, Indnesia and Malaysia saw “dramatic reductins” in frest lss. Thse gains are at risk hwever, the reprt warns. In Brazil, fr instance, while there has been renewed interest in prtecting the Amazn, anther key ecsystem—the Cerrad savannah—has instead becme a target.
The reprt praised new rules intrduced by the Eurpean Unin intended t blck the imprts f cmmdities (商品) that drive defrestatin. But it called fr strnger glbal actin, including mre mney t cnserve frests, and the end f subsidies t sectrs like agriculture that drive defrestatin.
“The wrld is failing frests with disastrus cnsequences n a glbal scale,” said Fran Price, WWF’s glbal frest lead. “Since the glbal cmmitment was made, an area f trpical frest the size f Denmark has been lst. We want t see nature and frest high n the agenda!”
28．What des the assessment indicate?
A．Tugh plicies shuld be intrduced.
B．Defrestatin is intensifying.
C．Cmmitment shuld be taken seriusly.
D．Glbal warming is wrsening.
29．Hw d yu understand the underlined sentence by Matsn?
A．It is nrmal that data changes sharply
B．The assessment is far frm accurate.
C．Emphasis shuld be put n the trend.
D．T have a clear gal in place matters.
30．What are paragraphs 5 and 6 meant t tell us?
A．The widespread damage t frests.
B．Prper measures yet-t-be-taken.
C．The ban n nature-related prducts
D．Sme bright sides f the situatin.
31．What did Price want t cnvey?
A．Frest cnservatin is a pririty

【解析】本文是新闻报道。文章描述了全球森林损失增加的现状，呼吁人们采取行动，保护森林和自然环境。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段“But an annual assessment released Tuesday fund glbal defrestatin actually increased by fur percent last year, and the wrld remains well ff track t meet the 2030 cmmitment.”（但周二发布的一份年度评估报告发现，去年全球森林砍伐实际上增加了4%，世界仍远不能实现2030年的承诺。）可知，这项评估表明森林砍伐正在加剧。故选B。
29．词句猜测题。根据第四段“Data year ver year des tend t shift.”（数据每年都会发生变化。）和“But what is really imprtant is the trend.”（但真正重要的是趋势。）可知，数据每年都会发生变化，所以一年的数据并不重要，真正重要的是趋势，所以应该把重点放在趋势上，故划线句表示“应该把重点放在趋势上”。故选C。
30．推理判断题。根据第五段“The assessment was nt universally depressing, with abut 50 cuntries cnsidered n curse t end defrestatin.”（评估结果并非普遍令人沮丧，约有50个国家被认为正在停止森林砍伐。）和第六段“The reprt praised new rules intrduced by the Eurpean Unin intended t blck the imprts f cmmdities (商品) that drive defrestatin.”（该报告赞扬了欧盟旨在阻止导致森林砍伐的商品进口的新规定。）可知，评估结果并不都是负面的，现有很多国家和组织都在采取措施阻止森林砍伐，故第五、六两段旨在告诉人们形势的好的一面。故选D。
31．细节理解题。根据最后一段Price的话“The wrld is failing frests with disastrus cnsequences n a glbal scale,”（世界正在失去森林，在全球范围内造成灾难性后果。）和“Since the glbal cmmitment was made, an area f trpical frest the size f Denmark has been lst. We want t see nature and frest high n the agenda!”（自从作出全球承诺以来，已经失去了一片面积相当于丹麦的热带森林，我们希望看到自然和森林被提上日程！）可知，Price认为世界正在失去森林，造成了灾难性的后果，所以保护森林是当务之急。故选A。
On April 20, SpaceX’s Starship, the largest and mst pwerful rcket ever, explded during its first test flight nly minutes after it tk ff frm Texas, US.
Even thugh the tw-stage rcket ship made it less than halfway t the edge f space, climbing t just under 25 miles, the flight achieved its primary bjective f getting the new vehicle ff the grund despite sme f its engines failing at liftff. The plan was fr Starship t sar int space at least 90 miles abve Earth.
SpaceX CEO Eln Musk cngratulated team members n “an exciting test launch” in a pst-launch tweet and said they “learned a lt fr the next test launch in a few mnths.”
Back in September 2017, Musk came up with the idea f develping a rcket that wuld be able t send astrnauts t Mars, build a base n the mn, and allw cmmercial travel t anywhere n Earth in under an hur, accrding t The Guardian (卫报).
The mst imprtant aspect in Musk’s view, hwever, wuld be the rcket’s ability t be reused fr multiple flights. This wuld allw fr massive savings as it wuld reduce the number f spacecraft that wuld therwise simply crash. Als, the rcket relies n lw-cst fuel, methane (甲烷), making the cst f spaceflight drp dramatically.
The results f Starship’s first launch are nt t far ff frm what Musk and SpaceX’s engineers had predicted. Musk himself gave 50-50 dds that Starship wuld reach rbit, but als stressed that “clearing the launch twer and nt blwing up the pad (发射台) wuld be a win”.
In all, “it fell smewhere between a small step and their hped-fr giant leap, but it still represents significant prgress t ward a reusable super-heavy lift rcket,” said Jrdan Bimm, a space histrian at the university f Chicag, US.
Prepared fr the likely utcme, SpaceX already has mre bsters and spacecraft ready fr mre test flights, with the next full set “almst ready t g”. The plan is t fire ff similar rckets in quick successin (连续) t gather data and start using Starships t launch satellites int lw Earth rbit then put peple n bard. Each launch will take SpaceX a step clser t its ultimate gal f making cmmercial space flight a reality.
32．What happened minutes after Starship tk ff?
A．It crashed int the sea.B．It flew ff the curse.
C．It blew up in the sky.D．Its engines all failed.
33．What are paragraphs 4 and 5 abut?
A．The prblems with the launch.B．The risks f test flights.
C．The advantages f the rcket.D．Musk’s idea f Starship.
34．Hw did peple invlved find the results f the first launch?
A．Disastrus.B．Recrd-breaking.C．Acceptable.D．Unexpected
35．What is the mst suitable title fr the reprt?
A．A Big Successful FailureB．A Giant Leap in Space Explratin
C．Gd Prspects fr travelD．Incredible Prgress in Space Flight

(那人还在呼吸，但不规律。有些地方不对劲。“给他做胸部按压！”一个女人喊道。Perry不是专家，但他在这个人的心脏上按压了一会儿，直到受害者开始抽搐)”可知，受害人刚被救出的时候，呼吸不规律，情况很不好，在Perry做完胸部按压后，他开始抽搐，情况好转。由此可知，Perry的胸部按压对挽救生命起了关键作用。故选C项。
6．词句猜测题。根据前面三段讲述的Anthny Perry在火车站英勇救助跌落在铁轨上的受害者，以及划线词的上文“The evening news reprted the incident. After a friend uted him t the media (晚间新闻报道了这一事件。在一个朋友向媒体透露他之后)”可推知，观众在知道是Anthny Perry做出这样英勇无私的举动后，应该会非常敬佩这位英雄。由此推知，划线句意思应该是Perry成了芝加哥受欢迎和尊敬的人。故选D项。
7．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了Anthny Perry英勇救人的故事，在火车站看到跌落在铁轨上的受害者后，他不顾触电的危险，勇敢地救出了受害者，并及时帮受害者做了胸部按压，事后低调地离开。由此推知，作者的写作目的是赞扬拯救受害者生命的英雄。故选A项。
Overcming learning disabilities has lng been a challenge fr educatrs and students alike. Hwever, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technlgy have shwn prmise in revlutinizing the way we apprach educatin fr students with learning disabilities.
One f the mst significant ways AI can assist is thrugh the use f adaptive learning systems. These systems use algrithms (算法) t analyze a student’s perfrmance and adjust the learning cntent and pace accrdingly. This persnalized apprach allws them t prgress at their wn pace, withut feeling verwhelmed r left behind. Furthermre, adaptive learning systems can identify areas where a student may be struggling and prvide targeted supprt.
Anther way AI can supprt them is thrugh natural language prcessing (NLP) technlgy. NLP enables cmputers t understand and interpret human language, allwing AI-pwered tls t prvide real-time feedback n a student’s written wrk. This can be particularly beneficial fr students with dyslexia, wh ften struggle with spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. By prviding immediate feedback, students can identify and crrect their mistakes, leading t imprved writing skills and increased cnfidence.
AI can als play a rle in develping their scial and emtinal skills. Many students with learning disabilities experience scial islatin. AI-pwered scial rbts can recgnize and respnd t human emtins, allwing students t engage in interactive cnversatins and activities that help develp their scial and emtinal intelligence.
While the ptential benefits f AI in educatin are clear, it is essential t recgnize AI isn’t a ne-size-fits-all slutin. Educatrs must carefully cnsider the mral implicatins f using AI in the classrm and ensure these tls are used respnsibly and with the best interests f the students in mind. Mrever, it is crucial t remember AI shuldn’t replace human educatrs but rather serve as a tl t enhance and supprt their effrts. Teachers play a vital rle by prviding empathy, understanding, and guidance that cannt be reprduced by a machine. By cmbining the pwer f AI with the skills and cmpassin f human educatrs, we can create a mre inclusive and effective educatinal envirnment fr all students.
8．Hw can adaptive systems help students with learning disabilities?
A．By adjusting their learning methds.B．By analyzing their learning abilities.
C．By satisfying their curisity in learning.D．By ffering persnalized learning assistance.
9．What des the underlined wrd “dyslexia” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A．A mental illness affecting human intelligence.
B．A brain disease leading t lack f cnfidence in study.
C．A language-related skill applied in the learning prcess.
D．A learning disrder invlving difficulty in reading and writing.
10．What is the value f AI-pwered scial rbts?
A．Engaging students in learning activities.B．Narrwing the scial distance between peple.
C．Assisting learners t vercme scial islatin.D．Helping learners adpt effective reading strategies.
11．What des the authr say abut AI in the last paragraph?
A．It can’t prvide understanding like human educatrs.
B．It can’t create an inclusive learning envirnment.
C．It can meet a wide range f learning needs.
D．It can guarantee learners’ data security.

In a grundbreaking effrt, scientists at the University f Rchester have successfully transferred a lngevity gene frm naked mle rats t mice, leading t enhanced health and a lnger lifespan fr the mice.
Unlike many ther species, the rats d nt ften cntract diseases — including cancer — as they age. Vera Grbunva, the Dris Jhns Cherry Prfessr f bilgy and medicine at Rchester, alng with Andrei Seluanv, a prfessr f bilgy, and their clleagues have devted decades f research t understanding the unique mechanisms (机制) that the naked mle rats use t prtect themselves against aging and diseases. The researchers discvered that HMW-HA is ne mechanism respnsible fr the rats’ unusual resistance t cancer. Cmpared t mice and humans, naked mle rats have abut ten times mre HMW-HA in their bdies. When the researchers remved HMW-HA frm the rat cells, the cells were mre likely t frm tumrs (肿瘤).
“Our study prvides a prf f principle that unique lngevity mechanisms that evlved in lng-lived mammals can be exprted t imprve the lifespans f ther mammals,” says Grbunva. The Rchester researchers reprt in a study published in Nature that they successfully transferred a gene respnsible fr making HMW-HA frm a naked mle rat t mice. This led t imprved health and an apprximate 4.4 percent increase in the median lifespan fr the mice.
By intrducing a specific gene respnsible fr enhanced cellular repair and prtectin int mice, the researchers have pened exciting pssibilities fr unlcking the secrets f aging and extending human lifespan. “It tk us 10 years frm the discvery f HMW-HA in the naked mle rat t shwing that HMW-HA imprves health in mice,” Grbunva says. “Our next gal is t transfer this benefit t humans.”
They believe they can accmplish this thrugh tw rutes: either by slwing dwn the degradatin f HMW-HA r by enhancing HMW-HA synthesis. “We hpe that ur findings will prvide the first, but nt the last, example f hw lngevity adaptatins frm a lng-lived species can be adapted t benefit human lngevity and health.” Seluanv says.

Matilda Cleman, six, picked up ne f the tys—a blnde-haired, blue-eyed Disney princess(公主), and turned her upside dwn. Underneath the skirt was a pale-faced witchy (女巫的) versin. The girl liked it, and then was cnfused that the ty wasn’t available t buy. Maclean’s wrk playfully breaks the grasp that cnsumer culture has n mdern minds.
“What art can d best is t make yu lk at things that yu’re very used t in a different way,” said Maclean (b.1987), a Glasgw-based multi-media artist wh has rapidly established herself as ne f the mst distinctive vices in the UK. “Sadly the decline f ur city centres is smething that is cmmn these days, s I want t bring peple int a space where they can reflect n it in a fun way.”
“When the shp first pened, everyne was interested in finding ut what it was,” said Parker, a lcal teenager. “It has lts f different themes abut identity, cnsumerism, capitalism, but they are silent messages and everyne has different thughts abut it.”
Maclean has taken ver this frmer butcher’s shp in Ayr as part f Jupiter Plus, a new arts and educatin initiative, which aims t reluyenate empty high street shps in twns and cities in Sctland with free art exbibitins and wrkshps fr yung peple.

It was a quiet mrning in the library, and we librarians were enjying a rather lud chat. Suddenly, a patrn (常客) marched up t us, gave us an annyed “Shush!” and went back t her seat. Hw strange fr a grup f librarians t be shushed by a patrn! Shuldn’t it be the ther way arund?
Well, it’s cmplicated. If yu’re like me, a middle-aged wman, yu prbably remember libraries as places f silent reading. These days, hwever, libraries are mre like active cmmunity centers.
In the past, mst libraries didn’t fcus much n prgrams fr kids whse age made it impssible fr them t be quiet n demand. But grwing knwledge abut the imprtance f kids and teens learning thrugh hands-n experiences has since caused a sea change in hw libraries cnnect with yung readers. Nw libraries begin ffering interactive prgrams fr kids, including crafts, bard games, and stry times. These types f prgrams certainly aren’t designed t be silent.
Alng with mre prgrams fr ever-yunger children, technlgy tday has played a part in the transfrmatin f libraries int places where bth kids and adults can use cmputers, make smething n a 3D printer and mre. In additin, many libraries nw ffer prgrams fr adults, wh can participate in in bk discussin, learn calligraphy, and even take cllege classes.
Of curse, libraries still need peaceful phnes. These days, many libraries have glassed-ff study rms r quiet areas. They are als less nisy in the early afternns, after mrning children’s prgrams and befre the after-schl kid crwd arrive.
It’s clear t me nw that n the day my clleagues and I were shushed by a patrn, we shuld have been using ur “library vices” as we talked. Still, it’s unlikely that libraries will ever return t the days when they were places f silence. There’s just t much fun and learning happening.
8．Hw did the authr respnd t the patrn’s behavir?
A．She apprved f it.B．She was disappinted at it.
C．She hesitated abut it.D．She was astnished at it.
9．What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A．The past and the present f libraries.B．The reasn fr the change f libraries.
C．The activities fr yung children in libraries.D．The cnnectin between libraries and readers.
10．What can we learn abut tday’s libraries?
A．They heavily depend n technlgy.B．They ffer nline prgrams fr adults.
C．They still prvide silent reading places.D．They care much abut time arrangement.
11．What wuld be the best title fr the text?
A．Libraries Shuld be LudB．Reading Can be Fun in Libraries
C．Libraries Make Learning HappenD．Library Prgrams Target Children

Hw strange fr a grup f librarians t be shushed by a patrn! Shuldn’t it be the ther way arund? (那是图书馆里一个安静的早晨，我们图书管理员正在享受着一段相当大声的聊天。突然，一位常客走到我们面前，生气地对我们说了一声‘嘘！’，然后回到她的座位上。一群图书管理员被一位常客嘘了，这真奇怪！不是应该反过来吗？)”可知，作者对常客的行为感觉很吃惊。故选D项。
9．主旨大意题。由文章第三段“In the past, mst libraries didn’t fcus much n prgrams fr kids whse age made it impssible fr them t be quiet n demand. But grwing knwledge abut the imprtance f kids and teens learning thrugh hands-n experiences has since caused a sea change in hw libraries cnnect with yung readers. Nw libraries begin ffering interactive prgrams fr kids, including crafts, bard games, and stry times. These types f prgrams certainly aren’t designed t be silent. (在过去，大多数图书馆都不太关注为孩子们提供的项目，因为孩子们的年龄使他们无法按需保持安静。但是，人们越来越了解儿童和青少年通过亲身体验学习的重要性，这导致图书馆与年轻读者的联系发生了翻天覆地的变化。现在，图书馆开始为孩子们提供互动节目，包括手工艺品、棋盘游戏和故事时间。这些类型的程序当然不是为了静音而设计的。)”可知，本段主要讲图书馆改变的原因。故选B项。

Still, it’s unlikely that libraries will ever return t the days when they were places f silence. There’s just t much fun and learning happening. (现在我很清楚，在我和同事们被一位常客嘘的那天，我们应该在交谈时使用我们的‘图书馆声音’。尽管如此，图书馆不太可能再回到沉寂的时代。有太多的乐趣和学习正在发生。)”以及上文可知，本文主要讲图书馆不应该一如既往是一个安静的地方，而应该变得热闹起来。故选A项。
Have yu ever frgtten items when trying t recall a shpping list? Or dialed the wrng phne number when attempting t memrise ne? The brain mechanisms (机制) that cause us t draw a blank in such situatins have nw been identified.
Our wrking memry keeps small pieces f infrmatin that are readily accessible fr planning, understanding and slving prblems. But it will have “swap errrs”. Fr example, if we are shwn a red square and n blue circle, and are then asked what clur the circle was, we might say red,
T understand why we make such errrs, Jeff Jhnstn at Clumbia University and his clleagues recrded the brain activity f tw mnkeys because a mnkey’s wrking memry is very similar t humans.
The mnkeys were shwn tw differently clured squares, ne abve the ther, fr half a secnd. After a shrt delay, a black spt appeared in the same lcatin as ne f the squares, and then disappeared. The animals were trained t tell the clur f the square they were suppsed t be remembering based n the spt’s lcatin, by staring at the matching clur n a rtatable (可旋转的) wheel. When ding this fr abut 3 hurs ver multiple sessins, the mnkeys perfrmed the task crrectly between 60 and 82 percent f the time, but ccasinally made swap errrs.
The research suggests that the brain respnses linked t swap errrs emerged befre the animals decided which clur t reprt. They appeared t arise during “selectin” when certain items stred in wrking memry are enhanced at the expense f thers, rather than ccurring as a result f them frgetting r a failure t crrectly encde (编码) items in their wrking memry.
“Everyne assumed there were simpler explanatins like failure t encde r frgetting, but this very cl study shws that wrking memry errrs cme frm a previusly unknwn surce,” says Earl Miller at the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy. The team is planning further experiments t gain a better understanding f mechanisms underlying swap errrs.
12．What is the functin f wrking memry?
A．T identify the errrs in understanding.B．T reduce the ccurrence f mind blanking.
C．T develp the way f distinguishing clurs.D．T stre infrmatin at the ready fr mental use.
13．What were the mnkeys tasked with in the research?
A．Crrecting their errrs ver multiple sessins.B．Playing a matching game n a rtatable wheel.
C．Reprting the clur f the square t memrize.D．Figuring ut the exact psitin f the black spt.
14．What des the research suggest abut swap errrs?
A．They are unusual brain respnses.B．They shw a tendency fr frgetfulness.
C．They have an effect n wrking memry.D．They are the utcme f memry selectin.
15．What is Earl Miller’s attitude twards the research finding?
A．Unclear.B．Appreciative.C．Objective.D．Dismissive.
【答案】12．D 13．C 14．D 15．B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是工作记忆以及针对工作记忆为什么会出现错误的相关研究过程以及发现。
12．细节理解题。根据第二段“Our wrking memry keeps small pieces f infrmatin that are readily accessible fr planning, understanding and slving prblems. (我们的工作记忆保存着小块的信息，这些信息很容易用于计划、理解和解决问题)”可知，工作记忆的功能是把信息储存起来以备脑力使用。故选D。
13．细节理解题。根据第四段“The mnkeys were shwn tw differently clured squares, ne abve the ther, fr half a secnd. After a shrt delay, a black spt appeared in the same lcatin as ne f the squares, and then disappeared. The animals were trained t tell the clur f the square they were suppsed t be remembering based n the spt’s lcatin, by staring at the matching clur n a rtatable (可旋转的) wheel. (给猴子看两个不同颜色的方块，一个在另一个上面，持续半秒钟。在短暂的延迟后，一个黑点出现在与其中一个方块相同的位置，然后消失。动物们经过训练，通过盯着一个可旋转的轮子上的对应颜色，说出它们应该根据点的位置所记住的正方形的颜色。)”可知，在这项研究中，猴子的任务是报告要记忆的正方形颜色。故选C。
14．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The research suggests that the brain respnses linked t swap errrs emerged befre the animals decided which clur t reprt. They appeared t arise during “selectin” when certain items stred in wrking memry are enhanced at the expense f thers, rather than ccurring as a result f them frgetting r a failure t crrectly encde (编码) items in their wrking memry. (研究表明，与交换错误相关的大脑反应在动物决定报告哪种颜色之前就出现了。它们似乎是在“选择”过程中出现的，当储存在工作记忆中的某些项目以牺牲其他项目为代价而得到加强时，而不是由于他们忘记或未能正确编码工作记忆中的项目而出现的。)”可知，关于交换错误，研究表明是记忆选择的结果。故选D。
15．推理判断题。根据最后一段““Everyne assumed there were simpler explanatins like failure t encde r frgetting, but this very cl study shws that wrking memry errrs cme frm a previusly unknwn surce,” says Earl Miller at the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy. (麻省理工学院的厄尔·米勒说：“每个人都认为有更简单的解释，比如编码失败或遗忘，但这项非常酷的研究表明，工作记忆错误来自一个以前未知的来源。”)”可推知，厄尔·米勒对研究发现的态度是积极欣赏的。故选B。
