Five years ag, a cuple fund a baby wl, near-death, n their lawn. They cnsulted with me because f my experience with wls and hawks. Eventually my wife and I undertk the task f treating the wl, Alfie, waiting ut a develpmental delay (mst f her flight feathers came especially late that first summer) , and then we taught her t fly and hunt. Alfie disappeared fr a week. Then she chse t return, centering her territry (地盘) n ur backyard. I put a nest bx n my writing studi.
Alfie’s first free-living year— mating, raising her first baby— cincided with the COVID-19 that limited us t ur yard. Friends said the birds were singing alud and happily. Frm Alfie’s perfrmance, I saw humans’ unrest and wrry when facing the unexpected virus. When Alfie and her mate, Plus-One, played in the shade, the daily rhythms and quietness f the wls’ wrld cntrasted with ur life.
Many cultures view wls as messengers f Gd. Hwever, Alfie is flesh and feathers: her heart pumps bld red as urs. She has her cmfrts and fears. She is a very real little being verall. Yet, thrughut the islatin t prevent the spread f disease, Alfie lsed herself, living cmfrtably with her mate in the yard, which certainly inspired me and my family with hpe. She is, in reality, a messenger, ne cnveying the real meaning f life.
T be fully present in life and lve, s natural fr Alfie, remains a wrk in prgress fr me. Alfie is the perfect little philsphical master. She enjys a freedm unplluted by criticism r dubt, and a liberty as the air flws beneath her wings. Resisting nthing, she is pure presence, here nw. Perhaps I’d lng labred tward the place where Alfie was effrtlessly taking me, a sense f penness, shwing what’s pssible when we mess up ur accustmed bundaries.
Alfie remains ur magical light f the nighttime backyard. By day she usually stays in a cuple f favrite shaded spts. The chice is always hers. Free within limits; that’s the universe fr her. It can inspire a life’s wrk.
4．What can we learn abut Alfie frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. She had a quick recvery.
B. She was first fund by the authr.
C. She set up a family in the backyard.
D. She was badly affected by the COVID-19.

C. She has red bld as humans.
D. She is viewed as a messenger f Gd.
6．What des the authr mean by describing Alfie’s freedm as “unplluted by criticism r dubt” in paragraph 4?
A. Alfie is nt influenced by scial develpment.
B. Alfie is free frm physical and mental limitatins.
C. Alfie is cmpletely independent and self-sufficient.
D. Alfie is nt affected by external judgment r uncertainty.

Digital reading appears t be destrying habits f “deep reading”. Astnishing numbers f peple with years f schling are in effect illiterate. This mnth’s Ljubljana Manifest (宣言) explains: “The digital field may prmte mre reading than ever in histry, but it als ffers many temptatins t read in a superficial and scattered (零散的) manner — r even nt t read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.”
That’s frightening, because “higher-level reading” has been essential t civilizatin. It enabled the enlightenment and an internatinal increase in empathy. Withut it, we wuld suffer a lt. As the Ljubljana Manifest ntes, “as much as ne-third f Eurpeans struggle even with lwer-level reading skills.” Mre than ne-fifth f adults in the US “fall int the illiterate/functinally illiterate categry”. Separately, pst-pandemic reading scres fr American 13-year-lds are the lwest in decades. And the Washingtn-based Center fr Glbal Develpment recently estimated that literacy in Suth Asia and sub-Saharan Africa amng thse with five years f schling has decreased by 10% this past half century.
Experts in the Ljubljana Manifest recrd the demerits f digital reading: “Recent studies f varius kinds indicate a decline f critical and cnscius reading, slw reading, nn-strategic reading and lng-frm reading.” When yu read a bk n paper, yu can be entirely inside the experience, absrb hundreds f pages f details thrughly and begin t capture the wrld’s cmplexity. Online, says Maryanne Wlf f UCLA, we are “skimming, scanning, scrlling”. The medium is the message: ding deep reading n yur phne is as hard as playing tennis with yur phne. Recently, a bright 11-year-ld tld me I was wasting time n bks: he absrbed mre infrmatin faster frm Wikipedia. He had a pint. But digital readers als absrb mre misinfrmatin and seldm absrb fine perspectives.
In shrt, as prfessrs frm Nrthwestern University fresaw in 2005, we are returning t the days when nly an elite (精英) “reading class” cnsumes lng texts, which is wrrying.

Trtise and turtle shells can be used t study nuclear pllutin. scientists have fund. Just as tree rings can prvide snapshts (简要说明) f the Earth’s climate, and ice cres can give us infrmatin n past temperature, researchers fund that the layers f shells can be used as a time stamp f perids with nuclear fallut.
The researchers fcused n turtles and trtises frm areas that have seen nuclear pllutin. and measured the uranium (铀) that was present in the bny uter shell that is usually made f keratin (角蛋白) . Each layer f shell equals t ne year f the trtise’s life, and s can reveal what happened in its surrunding envirnment.
Five different turtles and trtises frm natural histry cllectins were studied. One f these came frm Enewetak Atll, and was cllected in 1978. Enewetak Atll and its neighbur, Bikini Atll, in the Pacific, were the sites f 67 nuclear tests, with Enewetak the site f 43 f these. Thugh the sea turtle was prbably nt alive during the time f the testing, researchers still fund uranium pllutin in the turtle 20 years after testing ended.
Researchers als lked at an eastern bx turtle frm Oak Ridge, Tennessee, in the US. Oak Ridge is the site f a nuclear facility that has prduced and prcessed uranium since 1943. The turtle that was studied frm there was cllected in 1962 and may have biaccumulated radinuclides, r radiactive materials, frm uranium waste prducts in the area.
The research supprts the idea that these animals can biaccumulate human-made radinuclides, r frm the envirnment. It als supprts the idea that these animals. Which ften live a lng time, can recrd infrmatin abut human activity with nuclear landscapes ver a lng perid. We anticipate that cmbining analyses f histrically cllected and mdern samples will significantly expand ur envirnmental mnitring abilities as they relate t nging nuclear pllutin questins.
12．What made the test f uranium by the researchers pssible?
A. Uranium made its mark n the turtle shells.
B. Uranium existed in large amunts in nature.
C. The turtle shells were independent frm the surrunding envirnment.
D. The turtle shells’ uter layers were cmpsed f mysterius material.
13．Which f the fllwing is TRUE accrding t paragraphs 3-4?
A. The turtle studied had t be alive during testing.
B. Bikini Atll and Oak Ridge std next t each ther.
C. Enewetak Atll had mre nuclear tests than Bikini Atll.
D. The eastern bx turtle frm Oak Ridge was cllected in 1943.
14．What is the authr’s attitude tward the research?
A. Unclear.B. Dismissive.C. Dubtful.D. Apprving.
15．What’s the best title fr the text?
A. A study n turtle cllectinsB. The imprtance f turtle shells
C. The severity f nuclear pllutinD. A hint f radiatin frm turtle shells

T act with integrity was a habit with Susan wh always fllws the Glden Rule: “D nt d t thers what yu d nt want thers t d t yu.” But when she thught ver her past cnduct, a blush f shame crept t her cheeks, as many little acts f selfishness and unkindness came back t her memry. She reslved that fr the future, bth in great things and small, she wuld remember and fllw the Glden Rule.
It was nt lng after this that an pprtunity ccurred, which tried Susan’s principles. One Saturday evening when she went, as usual, t Mr. Thmpsn’s inn, t receive the mney f her mther’s washing fr him, which amunted t five dllars, she fund Mr. Thmpsn apparently in a terrible rage with sme hrse dealers with whm he had been bargaining. He held in his hand an pen pcketbk (钱袋子) , full f bills and scarcely nticing Susan as she made her request, except t swear at her fr trubling him when he was busy, he handed her a banknte.
Glad t escape s easily, Susan hurried ut f the gate. Pausing t put the mney safely in her purse, she discvered that he had given her tw bills instead f ne. She lked arund; nbdy was near and her first impulse was jy at the unexpected prize.
“It is all mine,” said she t herself. “I will buy my mther a new cat with it, and she can give her ld ne t my sister Mary, and then Mary can g t the Sunday schl with me next winter. I wnder if I can buy a pair f shes fr my brther Tm, t.”
At that mment she remembered that he must have given it t her by mistake. But again the vice f the tempter whispered, “He gave it, and hw d yu knw that he did nt intend t make yu a present f it? Keep it! He will never knw it, fr he had t many such bills in that great pcketbk.”

4．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Then she chse t return, centering her territry (地盘) n ur backyard. I put a nest bx n my writing studi.(然后她选择回来，把她的地盘集中在我们的后院。我在我的写作工作室放了一个窝盒。)”和第二段“Alfie’s first free-living year— mating, raising her first baby— cincided with the COVID-19 that limited us t ur yard.(Alfie自由生活的第一年—交配，抚养她的第一个孩子—恰逢新冠病毒将我们限制在院子里。)”可知，从前两段我们可以了解到Alfie在后院组建了家庭。故选C。
5．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Yet, thrughut the islatin t prevent the spread f disease, Alfie lsed herself, living cmfrtably with her mate in the yard, which certainly inspired me and my family with hpe.(然而，为了防止疾病传播，在整个隔离期间，Alfie放松了自己，和她的伴侣在院子里舒适地生活，这无疑给我和我的家人带来了希望。)”可知，Alfie过着悠闲放松的日子，这给作者和他的家人带来了希望。故选A。
6．答案：D
解析：词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“She enjys a freedm unplluted by criticism r dubt, and a liberty as the air flws beneath her wings. Resisting nthing, she is pure presence, here nw.(她享有一种不受批评或怀疑污染的自由，一种像空气在她翅膀下流动的自由。她不抗拒任何东西，她是纯粹的存在，此时此地。)”可知，她只是她自己，不受外界的评论，因此“unplluted by criticism r dubt”的意思是Alfie不受外界判断或不确定性的影响。故选D。
7．答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第三段“Yet, thrughut the islatin t prevent the spread f disease, Alfie lsed herself, living cmfrtably with her mate in the yard, which certainly inspired me and my family with hpe. She is, in reality, a messenger, ne cnveying the real meaning f life.(然而，为了防止疾病传播，在整个隔离期间，Alfie放松了自己，和她的伴侣在院子里舒适地生活，这无疑给我和我的家人带来了希望。实际上，她是一个信使，一个传达生命真正意义的人。)”和倒数第二段“Perhaps I’d lng labred tward the place where Alfie was effrtlessly taking me, a sense f penness, shwing what’s pssible when we mess up ur accustmed bundaries.(也许我一直在努力走向阿尔菲毫不费力地带我去的地方，一种开放的感觉，展示了当我们打破习惯的界限时，什么都是可能的。)”可知，本文主要讲的是作者夫妇救治了一只猫头鹰，并从它在后院的生活方式中得到了启示，因此主旨是B选项“The authr’s reflectin n life thrugh an wl.(作者通过一只猫头鹰对人生的思考。)”。故选B。
8．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“Digital reading appears t be destrying habits f “deep reading”. (数字阅读似乎正在破坏“深度阅读”的习惯。)”和“The digital field may prmte mre reading than ever in histry, but it als ffers many temptatins t read in a superficial and scattered (零散的) manner — r even nt t read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.(数字领域可能比历史上任何时候都促进了更多的阅读，但它也提供了许多诱惑，以肤浅和分散的方式阅读—甚至根本不阅读。这越来越危及更高水平的阅读。)”可知，数字阅读削弱了深度阅读的实践。故选B项。
9．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中“As the Ljubljana Manifest ntes, “as much as ne-third f Eurpeans struggle even with lwer-level reading skills.” Mre than ne-fifth f adults in the US “fall int the illiterate/functinally illiterate categry”. Separately, pst-pandemic reading scres fr American 13-year-lds are the lwest in decades. And the Washingtn-based Center fr Glbal Develpment recently estimated that literacy in Suth Asia and sub-Saharan Africa amng thse with five years f schling has decreased by 10% this past half century. (正如《卢布尔雅那宣言》所指出的，“多达三分之一的欧洲人甚至在较低水平的阅读技能上挣扎。”超过五分之一的美国成年人“属于文盲/功能性文盲”。另外，大流行后美国13岁儿童的阅读分数是几十年来最低的。总部位于华盛顿的全球发展中心(Center fr Glbal Develpment)最近估计，在过去的半个世纪里，南亚和撒哈拉以南非洲地区接受过5年教育的儿童的识字率下降了10%。)”可知，这些数字展示了目前读写能力的状况不容乐观。故选C项。
10．答案：D
解析：词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Experts in the Ljubljana Manifest recrd the demerits f digital reading: “Recent studies f varius kinds indicate a decline f critical and cnscius reading, slw reading, nn-strategic reading and lng-frm reading.” (《卢布尔雅那宣言》的专家们记录了数字阅读的demerits：“最近各种各样的研究表明，批判性阅读、有意识阅读、慢读、非战略性阅读和长篇阅读的数量正在下降。”)”中“a decline f critical and cnscius reading, slw reading, nn-strategic reading and lng-frm reading”可知，这些都是数字阅读盛行带来的问题和弊端，所以划线词demerits与drawbacks同义，意为“缺点，弊端 ”。故选D项。
11．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“In shrt, as prfessrs frm Nrthwestern University fresaw in 2005, we are returning t the days when nly an elite (精英) “reading class” cnsumes lng texts, which is wrrying. (简而言之，正如西北大学的教授们在2005年所预见的那样，我们正在回到只有精英“阅读阶层”才会阅读长文本的时代，这令人担忧。)”可知，文章最后表达了作者对现状的担忧，害怕我们会回到只有精英“阅读阶层”才会阅读长文本的时代。由此推知，作者接下来可能会就如何练习深度阅读给出具体的建议。故选D项。
12．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The researchers fcused n turtles and trtises frm areas that have seen nuclear pllutin. and measured the uranium (铀) that was present in the bny uter shell that is usually made f keratin (角蛋白) . Each layer f shell equals t ne year f the trtise’s life, and s can reveal what happened in its surrunding envirnment. (研究人员集中研究了来自核污染地区的海龟和陆龟。并测量了通常由角蛋白构成的骨骼外壳中存在的铀。每层甲壳都代表乌龟一年的生命，因此可以揭示它周围环境中发生的事情。)”可知，铀在龟壳上留下了印记。故选A。
13．答案：C
解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Enewetak Atll and its neighbur, Bikini Atll, in the Pacific, were the sites f 67 nuclear tests, with Enewetak the site f 43 f these. (埃尼韦塔克环礁及其邻近的太平洋比基尼环礁是67次核试验的地点，其中43次是在埃尼韦塔克进行的。)”可知，埃尼维托克环礁比比基尼环礁核试验的地点多24个，埃尼维托克环礁比比基尼环礁进行了更多的核试验。故选C。
14．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We anticipate that cmbining analyses f histrically cllected and mdern samples will significantly expand ur envirnmental mnitring abilities as they relate t nging nuclear pllutin questins. (我们预计，结合历史收集和现代样本的分析将大大扩大我们的环境监测能力，因为它们与正在进行的核污染问题有关。)”可知，作者对于这项研究的态度是支持的，故选D。
15．答案：D

32．答案：an ；t prduce ；cpying ；Traditinal ；divided ；r；are carved ；where；pursuit；t
解析：①考查冠词。句意：精致的笔触，雕刻在木头上，极其精确—这就是木版印刷，一种推动人类文明发展的古老印刷技术。technique是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，ancient是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an，故填an。
②考查不定式。句意：唐朝（618-907）佛教在中国蓬勃发展，因此迫切需要大量的佛经。need后用不定式作后置定语，因此空格处是不定式t prduce。故填t prduce。
③考查动名词。句意：与此同时，手工抄写无法满足日益增长的需求。空格处用动名词cpying作主语，故填cpying。
④考查形容词。句意：传统的木版印刷包括四个主要步骤：书写、雕刻、印刷和装订。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词wdblck printing，traditin的形容词是traditinal，意为“传统的”，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Traditinal。
⑤考查非谓语动词。句意：每一步都进一步分为几个步骤，大约需要30个步骤来制作木版版画。空格处是with复合结构，step和divide之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，作宾语补足语，故填divided。
⑥考查连词。句意：雕刻是木版印刷的核心，因为这一艰苦的步骤可以成就或破坏最终的版画。根据语境可知，句子表示“这一艰苦的步骤可以成就或破坏最终的版画”，空格处意为“或者”，是r，故填r。
⑦考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：文字和图像被雕刻成凸起的区域或线条，最终将墨水涂在纸上。文字和图像是被雕刻成凸起的区域或线条，句子描述客观事实，因此句子用一般现在时的被动语态，主语Characters and images是复数，因此空格处是are carved。故填are carved。
⑧考查定语从句。句意：868年印刷的一卷五米长的佛教经典《金刚经》，用大英图书馆的话说，是“日期最早的印刷书籍”。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中不缺主语或宾语，先行词British Library是地方，因此空格处用关系副词where，故填where。
⑨考查名词。句意：这只是古代艺术作品的一个例子，它不仅讲述了我们祖先的智慧，也证明了几个世纪以来中国工匠对美的追求。由空前的the和空后的f可知，空格处用名词，pursue的名词是pursuit，意为“追求”，是不可数名词，故填pursuit。
⑩考查介词。句意：文字的发明孕育了伟大的思想，但印刷术的发明使知识成为全人类共享的成果。give life t...是固定短语，意为“赋予……生命”，因此空格处是介词t，故填t。
