    A.It was a cmplex prcess.B.It differed frm ne anther.
    C.It demanded little effrt.D.It was envirnment-friendly.

    I live in Xizhu in Yunnan Prvince, n the histric Tea Hrse Rad. I have t admit that when I first heard that Paul Salpek was ging t walk the entire glbe n his wn tw feet, I was blwn away. I culdn’t imagine that there culd be such an unusual persn in the wrld.
    Last May, I met Paul. He tld me that it was his first time in China. He talked t me with great excitement abut the histry, migratins, and discveries in my regin f China. He spke f the Shu-Yandu Da (the Suthern Silk Rad), the travels f the 17th-century Chinese explrer Xu Xiake, the Tea Hrse Rad and the early 20th-century American btanist Jseph Rck. He als talked f Xuanzang. Paul cnsidered many f them heres and in a sense Chinese pineers f slw jurnalism.
    I decided t accmpany Paul n his walk tward Yunnan. On September 28, 2021, we set ut. Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. We wke up at sunrise, set ff in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging urselves int exhausted sleep.
    We met many peple n the rad. Sme were curius, surrunding us and watching us; sme gave us directins; sme invited us int their hme t take a rest; sme spke f the charm f their hmetwn. We met many beautiful suls, simple suls and warm suls. We were walking with ur minds.

    Phebe Cx grew up in what might seem an unlikely mental health danger zne fr a kid: tny Pal Alt, Califrnia. But behind its surface f family success and wealth, she said, is an envirnment f heavy pressure n students t perfrm. By 2016, when Cx was in middle schl, Pal Alt had a teen suicide (自杀) rate fur times the natinal average.
    Cx’s family lived by the railrad tracks where many f the suicides ccurred. She gt cunseling (咨询). But that chice is nt always easily available t teens in crisis – and she and her peers regarded schl mental health services as their last chice because f cncerns abut privacy.

Althugh Allcve is built t supprt a wide range f physical, emtinal and scial needs, its main gal is t deal with mental health challenges befre they develp int deeper prblems.

    As athletes get strnger and faster, the pace f play cntinues t increase. The burden f making sure games are played accrding t the rules and that the fficiating (裁判) is accurate is nw being taken ut f human hands and falling mre and mre int the lap f technlgy. It’s called the vide replay.
    The Natinal Ftball League is expanding its replay system this upcming seasn t include pass interference (传球干扰). Majr League Baseball nw relies n it fr safe-r-ut and hme run calls. If yu’ve been watching the FIFA Wrld Cup, yu may have nticed that the Vide Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key rle in almst every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a hrse was disqualified fr kncking anther hrse. N ne knew why until a vide replay cnfirmed the call and cntrversy was avided.
    Hwever, many purists—thse wh want peple t fllw rules carefully and d things in the traditinal way—especially in sccer, argue it’s nt the way the game was invented, and that the vide replay is tainting the sprt. But dn’t yu want t see the prper applicatin f the rules thrughut the games? I knw I d. Yes, it can slw the game dwn, but I feel it is wrth it. If technlgical advancements allw fans watching frm hme t spt mistakes instantly, thse same views need t be available t the fficiating crews. Anther example ccurred in the mst recent Natinal Ftball Cnference (NFC) Champinship Game between the Ls Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints. When bvius pass interference was cmmitted by the Ls Angeles Rams player Nickell Rbey-Cleman, with just 109 secnds t play, n flag was raised n the field. It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits.

    Eclgists wanted t learn hw ften mdern extreme heat events ccur. They als wanted t see hw lng they last. Kisei Tanaka was ne f thse eclgists. He nw wrks fr the Natinal Oceanic and Atmspheric Administratin (NOAA) in Hnlulu, Hawaii. Tanaka teamed up with Kyle Van Hutan, wh wrks at the Lggerhead Marinelife Center. The tw analyzed mnthly sea surface temperatures cllected frm 1870 thrugh 2019. Then they mapped where and when extreme heat events had shwn up, decade by decade.
    By lking at mnthly extremes instead f annual averages, the tw fund that ver time, mre and mre patches (区域) f water were reaching extreme temperatures. Then, in 2014, the entire cean hit a pint f n return, Van Hutan says.
    Heat waves harm cean ecsystems. They can lead seabirds t starve... And animals—frm fish and whales t turtles—may have t swim lng distances in search f cmfrtable temperatures.
    In May 2020, NOAA annunced that it was updating what climates it nw cnsidered “nrmal”. These values are what the agency uses t put daily weather events in a histrical cntext. The average values frm 1991 t 2020 are nw higher than thse frm 1981 t 2010, NOAA fund.
    Van Hutan says his new study shws extreme cean warming is nw the nrm. Much discussin n climate change, he ntes, has been abut future events, and whether r nt they might happen. But what the emerging data make clear, he says, is that extreme heat became cmmn in ur cean in 2014. It’s a dcumented histrical fact—nt a future pssibility.

    The bks written and published in the 1920s remain n the “best ever” lists. Here are 4 bks that everyne shuld read.
    The Great Gatsby
    The themes in the nvel reflect the sudden change in the character f America itself, and in sme ways it’s amng the first majr mdern nvels prduced in this cuntry. The nvel als makes a new and pwerful cncept clear at the time: The American Dream, the idea that self-made men and wmen culd make themselves int anything in this cuntry.
    A Farewell t Arms
    The stry is ne f a lve affair interrupted and dgged by events beynd the lvers’ cntrl, and a central theme is the pintless struggle f life — that we spend s much energy and time n things that finally dn’t matter. Hemingway masterfully cmbines a realistic descriptin f war with sme abstract literary techniques, which is ne reasn why this bk endures as a classic.
    Ulysses
    When peple make lists f the mst difficult nvels, Ulysses is almst certainly n them. The ne thing almst everyne knws abut Ulysses is that it emplys “stream f cnsciusness”, a literary technique that seeks t shw the inner mnlgue f a persn. James Jyce wasn’t the first writer t use this technique, but he was the first writer t attempt it n the scale as he did.
    Mrs. Dallway
    It takes place n a single day in the life f the main character, and it emplys a dense and tricky stream-f-cnsciusness technique, raming (漫游) arund t ther characters and pint f view. Mrs. Dallway is cncerned with using these techniques t make the characters clear and definite. The use f stream f cnsciusness is deliberately disrienting in the way it skips thrugh time.
    Where can the text be fund?
    A.In a bigraphy.B.In a histry bk.

    When Jhn Tdd was a child, he lved t explre the wds arund his huse, bserving hw nature slved prblems. A dirty stream, fr example,ften became clear after flwing thrugh plants and alng rcks where tiny creatures lived. When he gt lder, Jhn started t wnder if this prcess culd be used t clean up the messes peple were making.
    After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in cllege, Jhn went back t bserving nature and asking questins. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria(细菌)? Which kinds f fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right cmbinatin f animals and plants, he figured, maybe he culd clean up waste the way nature did. He decided t build what he wuld later call an ec-machine.
    The task Jhn set fr himself was t remve harmful substances frm sme sludge (污泥). First, he cnstructed a series f clear fibreglass tanks cnnected t each ther. Then he went arund t lcal pnds and streams and brught back sme plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little,these different kinds f life gt used t ne anther and frmed their wn ecsystem. After a few weeks, Jhn added the sludge.
    He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the ec-machine tk the sludge as fd and began t eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
    Over the years, Jhn has taken n many big jbs. He develped a greenhuse-like facility that treated sewage(污水) frm 1,600 hmes in Suth Burlingtn. He als designed an ec-machine t clean canal water in Fuzhu, a city in sutheast China.
    “Eclgical design” is the name Jhn gives t what he des.“Life n Earth is kind f a bx f spare parts fr the inventr,” he says.“Yu put rganisms in new relatinships and bserve what?s happening. Then yu let these new systems develp their wn ways t self-repair.”
    ( )24.What can we learn abut Jhn frm the first tw paragraphs?
    A.He was fnd f travelling.
    B.He enjyed being alne.
    C.He had an inquiring mind.
    D.He lnged t be a dctr.
    【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了约翰·托德从小就很爱观察自然且爱思考,他利用自然可以自我修复的原理建造了生态机器等设备来净化污水。
    24.C 推理判断题。根据第一段“When he gt lder, Jhn started t wnder if this prcess culd be used t clean up the messes peple were making.”可知,当约翰长大后,他开始想弄明白这个过程是否可以用来清理人们正在制造的脏乱。再结合第二段“After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in cllege, Jhn went back t bserving nature and asking questins.”可知,在大学里学习了农业、医学和渔业之后,约翰回去观察自然并提出问题。由此可知,从前两段中我们可以知道约翰有一种好学爱问的思维方式。

    As cities balln with grwth, access t nature fr peple living in urban areas is becming harder t find. If yu’re lucky, there might be a pcket park near where yu live, but it’s unusual t find places in a city that are relatively wild.
    Past research has fund health and wellness benefits f nature fr humans, but a new study shws that wildness in urban areas is extremely imprtant fr human well-being.
    The research team fcused n a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-gers, asking them t submit a written summary nline f a meaningful interactin they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissins, cding (编码) experiences int different categries. Fr example, ne participant’s experience f “We sat and listened t the waves at the beach fr a while” was assigned the categries “sitting at beach” and “listening t waves”.
    Acrss the 320 submissins, a pattern f categries the researchers call a“nature language” began t emerge. After the cding f all submissins, half a dzen categries were nted mst ften as imprtant t visitrs. These include encuntering wildlife, walking alng the edge f water, and fllwing an established trail.
    Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps peple recgnize and take part in the activities that are mst satisfying and meaningful t them. Fr example, the experience f walking alng the edge f water might be satisfying fr a yung prfessinal n a weekend hike in the park. Back dwntwn during a wrkday, they can enjy a mre dmestic frm f this interactin by walking alng a funtain n their lunch break.
    “We’re trying t generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactins back int ur daily lives. And fr that t happen, we als need t prtect nature s that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn, a senir authr f the study.
    ( )34.What can we learn frm the example given in Paragraph 5?
    A.Walking is the best way t gain access t nature.
    B.Yung peple are t busy t interact with nature.
    C.The same nature experience takes different frms.
    D.The nature language enhances wrk perfrmance.
    【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了城市化进程使得人类与自然的接触逐渐减少,尤其是在城市中找到原生态环境的机会越来越少,而研究表明城市中的原生态环境对人类的健康和幸福感极为重要。
    34.C 推理判断题。根据第五段中给出的例子“…the experience f walking alng the edge f water might be satisfying fr a yung prfessinal n a weekend hike in the park. Back dwntwn during a wrkday, they can enjy a mre dmestic frm f this interactin by walking alng a funtain n their lunch break.”可知,沿水边散步的体验对周末在公园徒步旅行的年轻职业人士来说可能是令人满足的。在工作日回到市中心,在午餐时间沿着喷泉散步也能享受到这种互动形式。由此可知,相同的自然体验可以采用不同的形式。故选C项。

I tend t travel with a few f my friends t state parks r t the cuntryside t g n adventures and take phts alng the way.
    Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style f phtgraphy. I ften leave early t seek the right destinatins s I can set up early t avid missing the mment I am attempting t phtgraph. I have missed plenty f beautiful sunsets/sunrises due t being n the spt nly five minutes befre the best mment.
    One time my friends and I drve three hurs t Devil’s Lake, Wiscnsin, t climb the purple quartz (石英) rck arund the lake.

Once, when trying a certain trick n the beam(横杆), I fell nt the stnes, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Tby came ver, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their bards lud, shuting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a gd skater.
    When I was 15, my family mved t Washingtn. I tried skatebarding there, but the lcals were far less welcming. Within a cuple f years, I'd given it up.
    When I returned t Lndn in 2004, I fund myself wandering dwn t Suthbank, spending hurs there. I've traveled back several times since, mst recently this past spring. The day was cld but clear: turists and Lndners stpped t watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)amng the kids wh rushed by n their bards, I fund my way t the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded(滑)up t the beam. He sat next t me. He seemed nt t ntice the man next t him. But sn I caught a few f his glances. “I was a lcal here 20 years ag,” I tld him. Then, slwly, he began t nd his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
    “Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”
    8.What can we learn abut the authr sn after he mved t Lndn?
    A.He felt disappinted.B.He gave up his hbby.
    C.He liked the weather there.D.He had disagreements with his family.
    【答案】8.A

    Wh is a genius? This questin has greatly interested humankind fr centuries.
    Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almst the internatinal symbl fr genius. But we want t g beynd ne man and explre the nature f genius itself. Why is it that sme peple are s much mre intelligent r creative than the rest f us? And wh are they?
    In the sciences and arts, thse praised as geniuses were mst ften white men, f Eurpean rigin. Perhaps this is nt a surprise. It's said that histry is written by the victrs, and thse victrs set the standards fr admissin t the genius club. When cntributins were made by geniuses utside the club—wmen, r peple f a different clr r belief—they were unacknwledged and rejected by thers.
    A study recently published by Science fund that as yung as age six, girls are less likely than bys t say that members f their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even wrse, the study fund that girls act n that belief: Arund age six they start t avid activities said t be fr children wh are “really, really smart.” Can ur planet affrd t have any great thinkers becme discuraged and give up? It desn't take a genius t knw the answer: abslutely nt.
    Here's the gd news. In a wired wrld with cnstant glbal cmmunicatin, we're all psitined t see flashes f genius wherever they appear. And the mre we lk, the mre we will see that scial factrs(因素)like gender, race, and class d nt determine the appearance f genius. As a writer says, future geniuses cme frm thse with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple gd frtune, wh are able t change the wrld.”
    13.What can we infer abut girls frm the study in Science?
    A.They think themselves smart.
    B.They lk up t great thinkers.
    C.They see gender differences earlier than bys.
    D.They are likely t be influenced by scial beliefs
    【答案】13.D

    When almst everyne has a mbile phne, why are mre than half f Australian hmes still paying fr a landline(座机)?
    These days yu’d be hard pressed t find anyne in Australia ver the age f 15 wh desn’t wn a mbile phne. In fact plenty f yunger kids have ne in their pcket. Practically everyne can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.
    Still, 55 percent f Australians have a landline phne at hme and nly just ver a quarter (29%) rely nly n their smartphnes accrding t a survey (调查). Of thse Australians wh still have a landline, a third cncede that it’s nt really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case f emergencies. I think my hme falls int that categry.
    Mre than half f Australian hmes are still chsing t stick with their hme phne. Age is naturally a factr(因素)— nly 58 percent f Generatin Ys still use landlines nw and then, cmpared t 84 percent f Baby Bmers wh’ve perhaps had the same hme number fr 50 years. Age isn’t the nly factr; I’d say it’s als t d with the makeup f yur husehld.
    Generatin Xers with yung families, like my wife and I, can still find it cnvenient t have a hme phne rather than prviding a mbile phne fr every family member. That said, t be hnest the nly peple wh ever ring ur hme phne are ur Baby Bmers parents, t the pint where we play a game and guess wh is calling befre we pick up the phne(using Caller ID wuld take the fun ut f it).
    Hw attached are yu t yur landline? Hw lng until they g the way f gas street lamps and mrning milk deliveries?
    27.What can be inferred abut the landline frm the last paragraph?
    A.It remains a family necessity.
    B.It will fall ut f use sme day.
    C.It may increase daily expenses.
    D.It is as imprtant as the gas light.
    【答案】27.B
    【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚使用固定电话的情况,并且表达了固定电话是非必需品的观点。
    27.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Hw attached are yu t yur landline? Hw lng until they g the way f gas street lamps and mrning milk deliveries? (你有多喜欢你的座机?它们还要多久才能走上煤气路灯和早晨送牛奶的道路?)”可推知,本段使用类比的方式,使用煤气路灯以及早晨送牛奶已经被淘汰的例子,侧面说明了固定电话总有一天会废弃的。故选B项。

    During an interview fr ne f my bks, my interviewer said smething I still think abut ften. Annyed by the level f distractin(干扰)in his pen ffice, he said, “That’s why I have a membership at the c-wrking space acrss the street — s I can fcus”. His cmment struck me as strange. After all, c-wrking spaces als typically use an pen ffice layut(布局). But I recently came acrss a study that shws why his apprach wrks.
    The researchers examined varius levels f nise n participants as they cmpleted tests f creative thinking. They were randmly divided int fur grups and expsed t varius nise levels in the backgrund, frm ttal silence t 50 decibels(分贝), 70 decibels, and 85 decibels. The differences between mst f the grups were statistically insignificant; hwever, the participants in the 70 decibels grup — thse expsed t a level f nise similar t backgrund chatter in a cffee shp — significantly utperfrmed the ther grups. Since the effects were small, this may suggest that ur creative thinking des nt differ that much in respnse t ttal silence and 85 decibels f backgrund nise.
    But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study als suggests that the right level f backgrund nise — nt t lud and nt ttal silence — may actually imprve ne’s creative thinking ability. The right level f backgrund nise may interrupt ur nrmal patterns f thinking just enugh t allw ur imaginatins t wander, withut making it impssible t fcus. This kind f “distracted fcus” appears t be the best state fr wrking n creative tasks.
    S why d s many f us hate ur pen ffices? The prblem may be that, in ur ffices, we can’t stp urselves frm getting drawn int thers’ cnversatins while we’re trying t fcus. Indeed, the researchers fund that face-t-face interactins and cnversatins affect the creative prcess, and yet a c-wrking space r a cffee shp prvides a certain level f nise while als prviding freedm frm interruptins.
    35.What can we infer abut the authr frm the text?

    When the explrers first set ft upn the cntinent f Nrth America, the skies and lands were alive with an astnishing variety f wildlife. Native Americans had taken care f these precius natural resurces wisely. Unfrtunately, it tk the explrers and the settlers wh fllwed nly a few decades t decimate a large part f these resurces. Millins f waterfwl ( 水 禽 ) were killed at the hands f market hunters and a handful f verly ambitius sprtsmen. Millins f acres f wetlands were dried t feed and huse the ever-increasing ppulatins, greatly reducing waterfwl habitat.
    In 1934, with the passage f the Migratry Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly cncerned natin tk firm actin t stp the destructin f migratry ( 迁徙的) waterfwl and the wetlands s vital t their survival. Under this Act, all waterfwl hunters 16 years f age and ver must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a plitical cartnist frm Des Mines, lwa, wh at that time was appinted by President Franklin Rsevelt as Directr f the Bureau f Bilgical Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price t ensure the survival f ur natural resurces.
    Abut 98 cents f every duck stamp dllar ges directly int the Migratry Bird Cnservatin Fund t purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat fr inclusin int the Natinal Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land will be prtected and available fr all generatins t cme.

    A.The stamp price has gne dwn.B.The migratry birds have flwn away.
    C.The hunters have stpped hunting.D.The gvernment has cllected mney.
    【答案】30.D
    【解析】本文是一篇说明文。本文讲述了美国鸭票的故事,由于美国移民的大量流入,对于农地和住房的急需大量的水禽栖息地被破坏导致美国水禽骤减,因此美国发行了鸭票,狩猎者只有购买了鸭票才能狩猎,而鸭票的部分收入进入到了用于购买水禽栖息地的基金,从而保护了水禽。
    30.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Since 1934, better than half a billin dllars has gne int that Fund t purchase mre than 5 millin acres f habitat.”可知,自1934年起,超过5亿美元进入到了这个基金会,购买了超过500万公顷的水禽栖息地,故可以推出,通过发行鸭票,美国政府获得了大量的资金,故选D。

    The traffic signals alng Factria Bulevard in Bellevue, Washingtn, generally dn't flash the same length f green twice in a rw, especially at rush hur. At 9:30am, the full red/yellw/green signal cycle might be 140 secnds. By 9:33am, a burst f additinal traffic might push it t 145 secnds. Less traffic at 9:37am culd push it dwn t 135. Just like the traffic itself, the timing f the signals changes.
    That is by design. Bellevue, a fast-grwing city just east f Seattle, uses a system that is gaining ppularity arund the US: intersectin(十字路口) signals that can adjust in real time t traffic cnditins. These lights, knwn as adaptive signals, have led t significant declines in bth the truble and cst f travels between wrk and hme.
    “Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being addressed, ” says Alex Stevanvic, a researcher at Flrida Atlantic University.
    Fr all f Bellevue’s success, adaptive signals are nt a cure-all fr jammed radways. Kevin Balke, a research engineer at the Texas A&M University Transprtatin Institute, says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial fr sme cities, thers are s jammed that nly a sharp reductin in the number f cars n the rad will make a meaningful difference. “It’s nt ging t fix everything, but adaptive signals have sme benefits fr smaller cities,” he says.
    In Bellevue, the switch t adaptive signals has been a lessn in the value f welcming new appraches. In the past, there was ften an autmatic reactin t increased traffic: just widen the rads, says Mark Pch, the Bellevue Transprtatin Department’s traffic engineering manager. Nw he hpes that ther cities will cnsider making their streets run smarter instead f just making them bigger.
    26.What des Kevin Balke say abut adaptive signals?
    A.They wrk better n brad rads.
    B.They shuld be used in ther cities.
    C.They have greatly reduced traffic n the rad.
    D.They are less helpful in cities seriusly jammed.

    Challenging wrk that requires lts f analytical thinking, planning and ther managerial skills might help yur brain stay sharp as yu age, a study published Wednesday in the jurnal Neurlgy suggests.
    Researchers frm the University f Leipzig in Germany gathered mre than 1, 000 retired wrkers wh were ver age 75 and assessed the vlunteers’ memry and thinking skills thrugh a battery f tests. Then, fr eight years, the scientists asked the same grup t cme back t the lab every 18 mnths t take the same srts f tests.
    Thse wh had held mentally stimulating(刺激), demanding jbs befre retirement tended t d the best n the tests. And they tended t lse cgnitive(认知) functin at a much slwer rate than thse with the least mentally challenging jbs. The results held true even after the scientists accunted fr the participants’ verall health status.
    “This wrks just like physical exercise, ” says Francisca Then, wh led the study. “After a lng run, yu may feel like yu’re in pain, yu may feel tired. But it makes yu fit. After a lng day at wrk-sure, yu will feel tired, but it can help yur brain stay healthy. ”

    Accrding t a recent study in the Jurnal f Cnsumer Research, bth the size and cnsumptin habits f ur eating cmpanins can influence ur fd intake. And cntrary t existing research that says yu shuld avid eating with heavier peple wh rder large prtins(份), it's the beanples with big appetites yu really need t avid.
    T test the effect f scial influence n eating habits, the researchers cnducted tw experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate wmen were individually invited int a lab t stensibly(表面上)participate in a study abut mvie viewership. Befre the film began, each wman was asked t help herself t a snack. An actr hired by the researchers grabbed her fd first. In her natural state, the actr weighed 105 punds. But in half the cases she wre a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight t 180 punds.
    Bth the fat and thin versins f the actr tk a large amunt f fd. The participants fllwed suit, taking mre fd than they nrmally wuld have. Hwever, they tk significantly mre when the actr was thin.
    Fr the secnd test, in ne case the thin actr tk tw pieces f candy frm the snack bwls. In the ther case, she tk 30 pieces. The results were similar t the first test: the participants fllwed suit but tk significantly mre candy when the thin actr tk 30 pieces.
    The tests shw that the scial envirnment is extremely influential when we're making decisins. If this fellw participant is ging t eat mre, s will I. Call it the “I’ll have what she's having” effect. Hwever, we'll adjust the influence. If an verweight persn is having a large prtin, I'll hld back a bit because I see the results f his eating habits. But if a thin persn eats a lt, I'll fllw suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I?
    14.Why did the researchers hire the actr?
    A.T see hw she wuld affect the participants.
    B.T test if the participants culd recgnize her.
    C.T find ut what she wuld d in the tw tests.
    D.T study why she culd keep her weight dwn.
    15.On what basis d we “adjust the influence” accrding t the last paragraph?
    A.Hw hungry we are.B.Hw slim we want t be.
    C.Hw we perceive thers.D.Hw we feel abut the fd.
    【答案】14.A15.C
    【解析】本文是说明文。最近的研究表明:我们的饮食伙伴的大小和消费习惯都会影响我们的食物摄入量。文章详述了这个实验的过程。
    14.推理判断题。根据第二段的“T test the effect f scial influence n eating habits, the researchers cnducted tw experiments”可知, 为了测试社会影响对饮食习惯的影响,研究人员进行了两个实验。根据倒数第三段的内容可知,在两个实验中,胖的和瘦的演员都吃了大量的食物。参与者也照做,吃的食物比平常多。 然而,当演员是瘦的时候,参与者们服用的食物更多。。由此推断,研究人员雇用演员是为了看看她如何影响参与者。故选A。
    15.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If an verweight persn is having a large prtin, I’ll hld back a bit because I see the results f his eating habits. But if a thin persn eats a lt, I’ll fllw suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can’t I? ”可知,如果一个超重的人吃很大一份,我会忍住一点,因为我看到了他饮食习惯的结果。但如果一个瘦的人吃很多,我会跟着做。如果他吃得多保持苗条,为什么我不能呢? 因此推断我们是根据我们对他人的看法(即:如何看待他人)来调整影响的。故选C。

    Returning t a bk yu’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an ld friend. There’s a welcme familiarity - but als smetimes a slight suspicin that time has changed yu bth, and thus the relatinship. But bks dn’t change, peple d. And that’s what makes the act f rereading s rich and transfrmative.
    The beauty f rereading lies in the idea that ur bnd with the wrk is based n ur present mental register. It’s true, the lder I get, the mre I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all abut the present. It’s abut the nw and what ne cntributes t the nw, because reading is a give and take between authr and reader. Each has t pull their wn weight.
    There are three bks I reread annually The first, which I take t reading every spring is Emest Hemningway’s A Mveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memir f 1920s Paris. The language is almst intxicating (令人陶醉的),an aging writer lking back n an ambitius yet simpler time. Anther is Annie Dillard’s Hly the Firm, her petic 1975 ramble (随笔) abut everything and nthing. The third bk is Juli Crtazar’s Save Twilight: Selected Pems, because petry. And because Crtazar.
    While I tend t buy a lt f bks, these three were given t me as gifs, which might add t the meaning I attach t them. But I imagine that, while mney is indeed wnderful and necessary, rereading an authr’s wrk is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best bks are the nes that pen further as time passes. But remember, it’s yu that has t grw and read and reread in rder t better understand yur friends.
    24.Why des the authr like rereading?
    A.It evaluates the writer-reader relatinship.
    B.It’s a windw t a whle new wrld.
    C.It’s a substitute fr drinking with a friend.
    D.It extends the understanding f neself.

    When yu were trying t figure ut what t buy fr the envirnmentalist n yur hliday list, fur prbably didn’t crss yur mind. But sme eclgists and fashin (时装)enthusiasts are trying t bring back the market fr fur made frm nutria(海狸鼠).
    Unusual fashin shws in New Orleans and Brklyn have(shwcased)nutria fur made int clthes in different styles. “It sunds crazy t talk abut guilt-free fur-unless yu understand that the nutria are destrying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, prject directr f Righteus Fur.

    The fur trade kept nutria check fr decades,but when the market fr nutria cllapsed in the late 1980s,the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.
    Bilgist Edmnd Mutn runs the nutria cntrl prgram fr Luisiana. He says it’s nt easy t cnvince peple that nutria fur is green, but he has n dubt abut it. Hunters bring in mre than 300,000 nutria tails a year, s part f Mutn’s jb these days is trying t prmte fur.
    Then there’s Righteus Fur and its unusual fashin. Mrgan says,”T give peple a guilt-free ptin that they can wear withut smene thrwing paint n them-1 think that’s ging t be a massive thing, at least here in New Yrk.” Designer Jennifer Andersn admits it tk her a while t cme arund t the pinin that using nutria fur fr her creatins is mrally acceptable.

    When "Rise f the Planet f the Apes" was first shwn t the public last mnth, a grup f excited animal activists gathered n Hllywd Bulevard.

    The United States rse t glbal pwer n the strength f its technlgy, and the lifebld that technlgy has lng been electricity. By prviding lng-distance cmmunicatin and energy, electricity created the mdem wrld. Yet prperly understd, the age f electricity is merely the secnd stage in the age f steam, which began a century earlier.
    "It is curius that n ne has put tgether a histry f bth the steam and electric revlutins." writes Maury Klein in his bk The Pwer Makers, Steam, Electricity, and the Men Invented Mdem America. Klein, a nted histrian f technlgy, spins a narrative s lively that at times it reads like a nvel.
    The stry begins in the last years f the 18th century in Sctland, where Watt perfected "the machine that changed the wrld". Klein writes, "America did nt invent the steam engine, but nce they grasped its passwrds they put it t mre uses than anyne else. "
    Meanwhile, ver the curse f 19th century, electricity went frm mere curisity t a basic necessity. Mrse invented a cde fr sending messages ver an electrmagnetic circuit. Bell then gave the telegraph a vice. Edisn perfected an incandescent bulls that brught electric light int the American hme.
    Mst imprtantly, Edisn realized that success depended n mass electrificatin, which he shwed in New Yrk City. With help frm Tesla, Westinghuse's firm develped a system using alternating current, which sn became the majr frms f pwer delivery.
    T frame his stry, Klein creates the character f Ned, a fictinal witness t the prgress brught abut by the steams and electric revlutins in America during ne man's lifetime. It's a technique that helps turn a lng narrative int an interesting ne.
    4.What is Klein's understanding f the age f electricity?
    A.It is clsely linked t the steam age.
    B.It began earlier than prper thught.
    C.It is a little-studied perid f histry.
    D.It will cme t an end sner r later.
    5.What can be inferred abut Ned?
    A.He was brn in New Yrk City.B.He wrte many increasing stries,
    C.He created an electricity cmpany.D.He lived mainly in the 19th century.
    6.What is the text?
    A.A bigraphy.B.A bk review.C.A shrt stry.D.A science reprt.
    【答案】4.A5.D6.C
    【解析】本文是说明文。文章按照时间顺序讲述了蒸汽时代和电力时代的联系。
    4.推理判断题。根据第二段“It is curius that n ne has put tgether a histry f bth the steam and electric revlutins.”(我很好奇,竟然没有人把蒸汽和电力革命的历史放在一起。)可知,在Klein看来,电力时代和蒸汽时代是有很紧密的联系的。故选A。
    5.推理判断题。根据最后一段“T frame his stry, Klein creates the character f Ned, a fictinal witness t the prgress brught abut by the steams and electric revlutins in America during ne man's lifetime.”(为了编织他的故事,Klein创造了一个人物Ned,它是对美国蒸汽和电力革命在一个人的整个人生中的进程的神奇的见证。)和第四段“Meanwhile, ver the curse f 19th century, electricity went frm mere curisity t a basic necessity.”(同时,在19世纪,电力从好奇变成了根需。)可知,Ned见证了蒸汽时代和电力革命,所以他应该是生活在19世纪。故选D。
    6.推理判断题。根据第三段“The stry begins in the last years f the 18th century in Sctland”(这个故事开始于苏格兰18世纪最后几年)可知,这篇文章是一篇小故事。故选C。

    As cities balln with grwth, access t nature fr peple living in urban areas is becming harder t find. If yu’re lucky, there might be a pcket park near where yu live, but it’s unusual t find places in a city that are relatively wild.
    Past research has fund health and wellness benefits f nature fr humans, but a new study shws that wildness in urban areas is extremely imprtant fr human well-being.
    The research team fcused n a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-gers, asking them t submit a written summary nline f a meaningful interactin they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissins, cding (编码) experiences int different categries. Fr example, ne participant’s experience f “We sat and listened t the waves at the beach fr a while” was assigned the categries “sitting at beach” and “listening t waves”.
    Acrss the 320 submissins, a pattern f categries the researchers call a“nature language” began t emerge. After the cding f all submissins, half a dzen categries were nted mst ften as imprtant t visitrs. These include encuntering wildlife, walking alng the edge f water, and fllwing an established trail.
    Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps peple recgnize and take part in the activities that are mst satisfying and meaningful t them. Fr example, the experience f walking alng the edge f water might be satisfying fr a yung prfessinal n a weekend hike in the park. Back dwntwn during a wrkday, they can enjy a mre dmestic frm f this interactin by walking alng a funtain n their lunch break.
    “We’re trying t generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactins back int ur daily lives. And fr that t happen, we als need t prtect nature s that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn, a senir authr f the study.
    ( )32.What phenmenn des the authr describe at the beginning f the text?
    A.Pcket parks are nw ppular.
    B.Wild nature is hard t find in cities.
    C.Many cities are verppulated.
    D.Peple enjy living clse t nature.

    1. 词句猜测题。根据第一段“We jurnalists live in a new age f strytelling, with many new multimedia tls. Many yung peple dn’t even realize it’s new. Fr them, it’s just nrmal.”以及画线词后文“as I was sitting with my 2-year-ld grandsn n a sfa ver the Spring Festival hliday.”可知,作者是记者,生活在一个讲故事的新时代,有许多新的多媒体工具。许多年轻人甚至没有意识到它是新的。对他们来说,这很正常。而这在春节假期,作者和两岁的孙子坐在沙发上,尤其清楚认识到了这一点。故画线词意思是“我很清楚”。故选B。
    2. 细节理解题。根据第五段中“He was actually a stranger t bks. His father frequently amused the by with a tablet cmputer which was laded with clrful pictures that cme alive when yu pke them. He thught my strybk was like that.(事实上,他对书本并不熟悉。他的父亲经常用一台装有彩色图片的平板电脑逗他开心,当你戳它们的时候,这些图片就会变得栩栩如生。他认为我的故事书就是那样的)”可知,那孩子戳故事书是因为他把它当成了平板电脑。故选A。
    3. 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Well, I may be ld, but I’m nt hpelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit vide and prduce audi. I use mbile payment. I’ve even built websites. (我可能老了,但从数字角度来说,我还没有毫无希望的挑战。我编辑视频,制作音频。我用移动支付。我甚至建立了网站)”可知,作者认为自己懂数码技术。故选D。
    4. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“There’s ne ntable gap in my new-media experience, hwever: I’ve spent little time in frnt f a camera, since I have a face made fr radi.(然而,在我的新媒体体验中有一个明显的差距:我很少在镜头前呆着,因为我的脸是为电台而生的)”可知,作者作为记者他很少上电视。故选B。

    36.【2023年1月·浙江卷】C
    A machine can nw nt nly beat yu at chess, it can als utperfrm yu in debate. Last week, in a public debate in San Francisc, a sftware prgram called Prject Debater beat its human ppnents, including Na Ovadia, Israel’s frmer natinal debating champin.
    Brilliant thugh it is, Prject Debater has sme weaknesses. It takes sentences frm its library f dcuments and prebuilt arguments and strings them tgether. This can lead t the kinds f errrs n human wuld make. Such wrinkles will n dubt be irned ut, yet they als pint t a fundamental prblem. As Kristian Hammnd, prfessr f electrical engineering and cmputer science at Nrthwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the system knws what it’s talking abut.”
    What Hammnd is referring t is the questin f meaning, and meaning is central t what distinguishes the least intelligent f humans frm the mst intelligent f machines. A cmputer wrks with symbls. Its prgram specifies a set f rules t transfrm ne string f symbls int anther. But it des nt specify what thse symbls mean. Indeed, t a cmputer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, als wrk with symbls. But fr humans, meaning is everything. When we cmmunicate, we cmmunicate meaning. What matters is nt just the utside f a string f symbls, but the inside t, nt just hw they are arranged but what they mean.
    Meaning emerges thrugh a prcess f scial interactin, nt f cmputatin, interactin that shapes the cntent f the symbls in ur heads. The rules that assign meaning lie nt just inside ur heads, but als utside, in sciety, in scial memry, scial cnventins and scial relatins. It is this that distinguishes humans frm machines. And that’s why, hwever astnishing Prject Debater may seem, the traditin that began with Scrates and Cnfucius will nt end with artificial intelligence.
    28.Why des the authr mentin Na Ovadia in the first paragraph?
    A.T explain the use f a sftware prgram.
    B.T shw the cleverness f Prject Debater.
    C.T intrduce the designer f Prject Debater.
    D.T emphasize the fairness f the cmpetitin.
    【答案】28.B
    【文章大意】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍的是在辩论中战胜人类的名为Prject Debater的软件程序。
    28.推理判断题。根据第一段的“Last week, in a public debate in San Francisc, a sftware prgram called Prject Debater beat its human ppnents, including Na Ovadia, Israel’s frmer natinal debating champin.(上周,在旧金山的一场公开辩论中,一个名为Prject Debater的软件程序击败了它的人类对手,其中包括以色列前全国辩论冠军Na Ovadia。)”可知,作者在第一段提到Na Ovadia的目的是展示Prject Debater的聪明。故选B。

    Accrding t the Slar Energy Industry Assciatin, the number f slar panels installed(安装)has grwn rapidly in the past decade, and it has t grw even faster t meet climate gals. But all f that grwth will take up a lt f space, and thugh mre and mre peple accept the cncept f slar energy, few like large slar panels t be installed near them.
    Slar develpers want t put up panels as quickly and cheaply as pssible, s they haven’t given much thught t what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stnes and using chemicals t cntrl weeds. The result is that many cmmunities, especially in farming regins, see slar farms as destryers f the sil.
    “Slar prjects need t be gd neighbrs,” says Jrdan Macknick, the head f the Innvative Site Preparatin and Impact Reductins n the Envirnment(InSPIRE)prject. “They need t be prtectrs f the land and cntribute t the agricultural ecnmy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical appraches t “lw-impact” slar develpment, which fcuses n establishing and perating slar farms in a way that is kinder t the land. One f the easiest lw-impact slar strategies is prviding habitat fr pllinatrs(传粉昆虫).
    Habitat lss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pllinatr ppulatins ver the past cuple f decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural ecnmy. Over 28 states have passed laws related t pllinatr habitat prtectin and pesticide use. Cnservatin rganizatins put ut pllinatr-friendliness guidelines fr hme gardens, businesses, schls, cities—and nw there are guidelines fr slar farms.
    Over the past few years, many slar farm develpers have transfrmed the space under their slar panels int a shelter fr varius kinds f pllinatrs, resulting in sil imprvement and carbn reductin. “These pllinatr-friendly slar farms can have a valuable impact n everything that’s ging n in the landscape,” says Macknick.
    34.What is the purpse f the laws mentined in paragraph 4?
    A.T cnserve pllinatrs.B.T restrict slar develpment.
    C.T diversify the ecnmy.D.T ensure the supply f energy.
    【答案】 34.A
    【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是用一种更加友好的方式建立一种新型的太阳能农场,这种新型的农场更有利于保护各种传粉昆虫,从而促进农业的发展。
    34.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Over 28 states have passed laws related t pllinatr habitat prtectin and pesticide use.(超过28个州通过了与传粉媒介栖息地保护和农药使用有关的法律。)”可知,这些法律都是与保护传粉者栖息地和农药使用相关,所以这些法律的目的是保护授粉者。故选A项。

    Part ne cncludes by intrducing my suggested methd fr adpting this philsphy: the digital declutter. This prcess requires yu t step away frm ptinal nline activities fr thirty days. At the end f the thirty days, yu will then add back a small number f carefully chsen nline activities that yu believe will prvide massive benefits t the things yu value.
    In the final chapter f part ne, I’ll guide yu thrugh carrying ut yur wn digital declutter. In ding s, I’ll draw n an experiment I ran in 2018 in which ver 1,600 peple agreed t perfrm a digital declutter. Yu’ll hear these participants’ stries and learn what strategies wrked well fr them, and what traps they encuntered that yu shuld avid.
    The secnd part f this bk takes a clser lk at sme ideas that will help yu cultivate(培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the imprtance f slitude(独处) and the necessity f cultivating high-quality leisure t replace the time mst nw spend n mindless device use. Each chapter cncludes with a cllectin f practices, which are designed t help yu act n the big ideas f the chapter. Yu can view these practices as a tlbx meant t aid yur effrts t build a minimalist lifestyle that wrks fr yur particular circumstances.

    I was abut 13 when an uncle gave me a cpy f Jstein Gaarder’s Sphie’s Wrld. It was full f ideas that were new t me, s I spent the summer with my head in and ut f that bk. It spke t me and brught me int a wrld f philsphy(哲学).
    That lve fr philsphy lasted until I gt t cllege. Nthing kills the lve fr philsphy faster than peple wh think they understand Fucault, Baudrillard, r Cnfucius better than yu—and then try t explain them.
    Eric Weiner’s The Scrates Express: In Search f Life Lessns frm Dead Philsphers reawakened my lve fr philsphy. It is nt an explanatin, but an invitatin t think and experience philsphy.
    Weiner starts each chapter with a scene n a train ride between cities and then frames each philspher’s wrk in the cntext(背景) f ne thing they can help us d better. The end result is a read in which we learn t wnder like Scrates, see like Threau, listen like Schpenhauer, and have n regrets like Nietzsche. This, mre than a bk abut understanding philsphy,is a bk abut learning t use philsphy t imprve a life.
    He makes philsphical thught an appealing exercise that imprves the quality f ur experiences, and he des s with plenty f humur. Weiner enters int cnversatin with sme f the mst imprtant philsphers in histry, and he becmes part f that crwd in the prcess by decding(解读) their messages and adding his wn interpretatin.
    The Scrates Express is a fun, sharp bk that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thughts n desire, lneliness, and aging. The invitatin is clear: Weiner wants yu t pick up a cffee r tea and sit dwn with this bk. I encurage yu t take his ffer. It’s wrth yur time, even if time is smething we dn’t have a lt f.
    ( )29.Why des the authr list great philsphers in Paragraph 4?
    A.T cmpare Weiner with them.
    B.T give examples f great wrks.
    C.T praise their writing skills.
    D.T help readers understand Weiner’s bk.
    【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。作者向读者介绍了Eric Weiner的哲学书The Scrates Express。
    29.D 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Weiner starts each chapter with a scene n a train ride between cities and then frames each philspher’s wrk in the cntext(背景) f ne thing they can help us d better. The end result is a read in which we learn t wnder like Scrates, see like Threau, listen like Schpenhauer, and have n regrets like Nietzsche. This, mre than a bk abut understanding philsphy, is a bk abut learning t use philsphy t imprve a life.”可知,韦纳书中的每一章都以城市之间的火车旅行场景开始,然后他介绍每个哲学家的作品和一件他们可以帮助我们做得更好的事情。最终的结果是,我们学会了像苏格拉底一样思考,像梭罗一样看待事情,像叔本华一样倾听,像尼采那样没有遗憾。这不仅仅是一本关于理解哲学的书,更是一本关于学习使用哲学来改善生活的书。由此可推知,作者列出伟大的哲学家是为了帮助读者理解Weiner的书。故选D。

    If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt. Writing is ne f humanity’s later achievements,and until fairly recently even many literate(有文字的) scieties recrded their cncerns nt nly in writing but in things.
    Ideally a histry wuld bring tgether texts and bjects, and sme chapters f this bk are able t d just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example f this between literate and nn-literate histry is perhaps the first cnflict, at Btany Bay, between Captain Ck’s vyage and the Australian Abriginals. Frm the English side, we have scientific reprts and the captain’s recrd f that terrible day. Frm the Australian side, we have nly a wden shield(盾) drpped by a man in flight after his first experience f gunsht. If we want t recnstruct what was actually ging n that day, the shield must be questined and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reprts.
    In additin t the prblem f miscmprehensin frm bth sides, there are victries accidentally r deliberately twisted, especially when nly the victrs knw hw t write. Thse wh are n the lsing side ften have nly their things t tell their stries. The Caribbean Tain, the Australian Abriginals, the African peple f Benin and the Incas, all f whm appear in this bk, can speak t us nw f their past achievements mst pwerfully thrugh the bjects they made:a histry tld thrugh things gives them back a vice. When we cnsider cntact (联系) between literate and nn-literate scieties such as these, all ur first-hand accunts are necessarily twisted, nly ne half f a dialgue. If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts,but the bjects.
    ( )33.What des the authr indicate by mentining Captain Ck in Paragraph 2?
    A.His reprt was scientific.
    B.He represented the lcal peple.
    C.He ruled ver Btany Bay.
    D.His recrd was ne-sided.
    【文章大意】 本文出自一本书的节选,探讨了历史记录中文本与物品之间的关系,指出仅凭文本无法全面记录历史,文章提到了物品记录历史的重要性,它在提供双方信息平衡方面具有重要意义。
    33.D 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Frm the English side, we have scientific reprts and the captain?s recrd f that terrible day. Frm the Australian side, we have nly a wden shield(盾)drpped by a man in flight after his first experience f gunsht.”可知,从英国方面,我们有科学报告和船长对那个可怕的日子的记录。从澳洲方面,我们只有一个被一个人在初次经历了枪击后逃跑时扔下的木盾。由此可推知,作者在第二段提及库克船长是为了说明他的记录只是单方面的。故选D项。

    Like mst f us, I try t be mindful f fd that ges t waste. The arugula (芝麻菜)was t make a nice green salad, runding ut a rast chicken dinner. But I ended up wrking late. Then friends called with a dinner invitatin. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even wrse, I had unthinkingly bught way t much; I culd have made six salads with what I threw ut.
    In a wrld where nearly 800 millin peple a year g hungry, “fd waste ges against the mral grain,” as Elizabeth Ryte writes in this mnth’s cver stry. It’s jaw-drpping hw much perfectly gd fd is thrwn away — frm “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grcers t large amunts f uneaten dishes thrwn int restaurant garbage cans.
    Prducing fd that n ne eats wastes the water, fuel, and ther resurces used t grw it. That makes fd waste an envirnmental prblem. In fact, Ryte writes, “if fd waste were a cuntry, it wuld be the third largest prducer f greenhuse gases in the wrld.”
    If that’s hard t understand, let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back f my refrigeratr. Mike Curtin sees my arugula stry all the time — but fr him, it's mre like 12 bnes f dnated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO f DC Central Kitchen in Washingtn, D.C., which recvers fd and turns it int healthy meals. Last year it recvered mre than 807,500 punds f fd by taking dnatins and cllecting blemished (有瑕疵的) prduce that therwise wuld have rtted in fields. And the strawberries? Vlunteers will wash, cut, and freeze r dry them fr use in meals dwn the rad.
    Such methds seem bvius, yet s ften we just dn’t think. “Everyne can play a part in reducing waste, whether by nt purchasing mre fd than necessary in yur weekly shpping r by asking restaurants t nt include the side dish yu wn’t eat,” Curtin says.
    4. What des the authr want t shw by telling the arugula stry?
    A. We pay little attentin t fd waste.B. We waste fd unintentinally at times.
    C. We waste mre vegetables than meat.D. We have gd reasns fr wasting fd.
    【答案】4. B
    【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了我们日常生活中的食物浪费现象以及华盛顿DC中央厨房的首席执行官科廷为解决食物浪费而采取的努力。
    4. B推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Like mst f us, I try t be mindful f fd that ges t waste.(像我们大多数人一样,我努力关注那些被浪费的食物)”及“But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even wrse, I had unthinkingly bught way t much; culd have made six salads with what I threw ut.(但随着时间的推移,芝麻菜变坏了。更糟糕的是,我不假思索地买了太多东西;我扔掉的东西可以做六份沙拉)”可推知,作者想通过讲述芝麻菜的故事来表明我们有时会无意间浪费食物。故选B。

    In the mid-1990s, Tm Bissell taught English as a vlunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven mnths, physically brken and having lst his mind. A few years later, still attracted t the cuntry, he returned t Uzbekistan t write an article abut the disappearance f the Aral Sea.
    His visit, hwever, ended up invlving a lt mre than that. Hence this bk, Chasing the Sea: Lst Amng the Ghsts f Empire in Central Asia, which talks abut a rad trip frm Tashkent t Karakalpakstan, where millins f lives have been destryed by the slw drying up f the sea. It is the stry f an American travelling t a strange land, and f the peple he meets n his way: Rustam, his translatr, a lvely 24-year-ld wh picked up his clrful English in Califrnia, Oleg and Natasha, his hsts in Tashkent, and a string f freign aid wrkers.
    This is a quick lk at life in Uzbekistan, made f friendliness and warmth, but als its darker side f sciety. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wnders, while n his way t Bukhara he gets a taste f plice methds when suspected f drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a muntain funeral(葬礼)fllwed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust strms, diseases and fishing bats stuck miles frm the sea.
    Mr Bissell skillfully rganizes histrical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-runded picture f Uzbekistan, seen frm Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stmach. As the authr explains, this is neither a travel nr a histry bk, r even a piece f reprtage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid descriptin f the purest f Central Asian traditins.
    11.What is the purpse f this text?
    A.T intrduce a bk.B.T explain a cultural phenmenn.
    C.T remember a writer.D.T recmmend a travel destinatin.
    【答案】11.A
    【解析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Bissell写的《追逐大海:迷失在中亚帝国的幽灵》这本书。这本书是Bissell在乌兹别克斯坦做志愿者后写的,是对乌兹别克斯坦人生活的一个快速观察。
    11.推理判断题。文章第一段提到书的作者的乌兹别克斯坦之行,引出他写的书,接下来三段讲述了他的书《追逐大海:迷失在中亚帝国的幽灵》的故事内容,是乌兹别克斯坦生活的一个快速观察。因此推断本文的写作目的是介绍一本书。故选A。

    We are the prducts f evlutin, and nt just evlutin that ccurred billins f years ag. As scientists lk deeper int ur genes (基因), they are finding examples f human evlutin in just the past few thusand years. Peple in Ethipian highlands have adapted t living at high altitudes. Cattle -raising peple in East Africa and nrthern Eurpe have gained a mutatin (突变) that helps them digest milk as adults.
    On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team f researchers reprted a new kind f adaptatin - nt t air r t fd, but t the cean. A grup f sea-dwelling peple in Sutheast Asia have evlved int better divers. The Bajau, as these peple are knwn, number in the hundreds f thusands in Indnesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They have traditinally lived n husebats; in recent times, they've als built huses n stilts (支柱) in castal waters. “They are simply a stranger t the land," said Redney C.

Anther 200 f the animals were fund early n Wednesday, making it Tasmania’s largest recrded stranding event. The Department f Primary Industry, Parks, Water and Envirnment (DPIPWE) said that abut a third had died.
    Marine bilgists arrived in the area t carry ut rescue peratins. They planned t use specialized equipment such as special tarpaulins t push the whales back int the deep water. The lcal plice als assisted in the rescue.
    The whales that were stranded are Pilt Whales, and they are fund in almst all the ceans f the wrld, accrding t the Marine cnservatin grup. Pilt whales are in fact ne f the largest members f the dlphin family, but they are treated as whales fr the Marine Mammals Prtectin Regulatins issued in 1992.They were named pilt whales because it was thught that each pd fllwed a ‘pilt’ in the grup.
    Cetacean stranding, cmmnly knwn as beaching, is a phenmenn in which whales and dlphins strand themselves n land, usually n a beach. Several explanatins fr why cetaceans strand themselves have been prpsed, including changes in water temperatures, unusual features f whales’ ech lcatin in certain surrundings, and gemagnetic disturbances, but nne have s far been universally accepted as a definitive reasn fr the behavir.

    【文章大意】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了星期一,大约270头领航鲸在麦格理海兹的沙洲上搁浅了。
    1.细节理解题。由第一段“On Mnday, abut 270 pilt whales gt int difficulty n a sandbank at Macquarie Heads, near Strahan n Tasmania’s west cast, abut 190 kilmetres frm Hbart. Anther 200 f the animals were fund early n Wednesday, making it Tasmania’s largest recrded stranding event. The Department f Primary Industry, Parks, Water and Envirnment (DPIPWE) said that abut a third had died.”(星期一,大约270头领航鲸在麦格理海兹的沙洲上遇到了麻烦,这里靠近塔斯马尼亚州西海岸的斯特拉汉,距离霍巴特大约190公里。周三早些时候又发现了200只这种动物,这是塔斯马尼亚有记录以来最大的鲸搁浅事件。DPIPWE说,大约三分之一的鲸已经死亡。)可知总共有470头鲸搁浅,三分之一的鲸已经死亡,说明157头鲸死亡,即大约有160头。故选A项。
    2.词句猜测题。由第二段中的“Marine bilgists arrived in the area t carry ut rescue peratins. They planned t use specialized equipment such as special tarpaulins t push the whales back int the deep water.”(海洋生物学家抵达该地区展开营救行动。他们计划使用特殊的设备,如特殊的防水布将鲸鱼推回到深水中。)可知海洋生物学家要把鲸鱼推回到深水中,说明这些鲸鱼在岸上搁浅了,stranding在此处意为“被留在或者被驱赶上岸”。故选D项。
    3.推理判断题。由第五段中的“In Nvember 2018, a dead sperm whale that had washed ashre in eastern Indnesia cnsumed a hrrifying cllectin f plastic trash, including 115 drinking cups, 25 plastic bags, plastic bttles, tw flip-flps and a bag cntaining mre than 1,000 pieces f string.

    45.【2023·广东省华附、省实、广雅、深中四校联考】
    One f the mst imprtant changes cities must make t imprve life in them is t separate peple frm their cars. Even when yu have a strng public transprt system in mving peple between ppulatin hubs, the last mile - that sectin between the railway statin and smene’s hme, fr example - can lead t car use if it’s cnsidered t far r t dangerus t walk.
    The idea f a lw-traffic neighburhd (LTN) - where cars are banned frm quieter ‘rat runs’ (偏僻小路) t keep them n the majr rutes - has taken ff in parts f the UK. LTNs attempt t filter ut cars frm residential streets using bllards, camera-cntrlled gates r even planters full f flwers placed acrss the rad, while pedestrians, cyclists and emergency vehicles can still pass.
    Analysis fr the active transprt charity Sustrans fund that “driving a mile n a minr urban rad is twice as likely t kill r seriusly injure a child pedestrian, and three times mre likely t kill r seriusly injure a child cyclist, cmpared t driving a mile n an urban A-rad,” and that heavy car traffic in residential areas can lead t a rise in scial islatin. LTNs reduce this danger, leading t a three-fld reductin in injuries, and have been shwn t increase the number f visitrs t lcal businesses.
    Als ppular are e-scter hire trials, which are taking place in twns and cities including Middlesbrugh, Bristl and Chelmsfrd. The trials see gaggles f electric scters available t be picked up frm street crners. The scters are hired using an app and then, nce they’re finished with, parked elsewhere inside the trial area, where they’re cllected and recharged by the hiring cmpany. A Department f Transprt reprt n e-scter use fund they were “widely perceived t have envirnmental and cnvenience benefits,” but suffered frm cmparisns t children’s tys.
    But that’s nt all. The wrld’s first hub fr demnstrating electric air taxis and drnes pened in Cventry earlier this year. The taxis and drnes based at the hub all take ff and land vertically like helicpters and are being used t travel shrt jurneys r deliver carg.
    Weaning us ff ur car addictin is ne f the mre difficult barriers standing between us and healthier cities. The first step that needs t be taken will be t tackle the dminance f the car.
    1.What can we learn frm Paragraph 1?
    A.Peple are cnsidered reliant n cars t travel.
    B.Public transprt system still needs imprvement.
    C.Pllutin frm cars has an impact n peple’s life quality.
    D.Residential areas are usually far away frm the railway statin.
    2.What d we knw abut the idea f an LTN?
    A.It’s a way t encurage scial interactin and lcal business.
    B.It’s a series f measures t reserve the streets t walking residents.
    C.It’s a system that emplys high technlgy t keep cars n the main rads.

    【答案】1.A 2.D 3.B 4.C
    【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章指出人们过于依赖汽车,这不利于健康城市的建设,因此需要解除对汽车的依赖,并提出三个措施。
    1.推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“One f the mst imprtant changes cities must make t imprve life in them is t separate peple frm their cars. (为了改善城市的生活,城市必须做出的最重要的改变之一就是将人们与汽车分开。)”可知,改善城市生活最重要的改变就是将人们与汽车分开,可见人们出行对汽车很依赖。故选A项。
    2.推理判断题。根据第三段“Analysis fr the active transprt charity Sustrans fund that “driving a mile n a minr urban rad is twice as likely t kill r seriusly injure a child pedestrian, and three times mre likely t kill r seriusly injure a child cyclist, cmpared t driving a mile n an urban A-rad,” and that heavy car traffic in residential areas can lead t a rise in scial islatin. LTNs reduce this danger, leading t a three-fld reductin in injuries, and have been shwn t increase the number f visitrs t lcal businesses. (积极交通慈善机构Sustrans进行的分析发现,“与在城市一级道路上行驶一英里相比,在城市次要道路上行驶一英里,导致儿童行人死亡或严重受伤的可能性是前者的两倍,而导致儿童骑自行车者死亡或严重伤害的可能性是前者的三倍”,居民区的汽车交通拥挤可能会导致社会孤立的加剧。LTN减少了这一危险,导致受伤人数减少了三倍,并已表明增加了当地企业的游客数量。)”可知,LTN使得在次要道路上因交通工具导致的儿童重伤和死亡人数减少,因此它被证实是使孩子远离交通事故的有效措施。故选D项。
    3.推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“One f the mst imprtant changes cities must make t imprve life in them is t separate peple frm their cars. (为了改善城市的生活,城市必须做出的最重要的改变之一就是将人们与汽车分开。)”可知,改善城市生活最重要的改变就是将人们与汽车分开,可见人们出行对汽车很依赖,本文旨在解决这个问题;根据第二段第一句“The idea f a lw-traffic neighburhd (LTN) - where cars are banned frm quieter ‘rat runs’ (偏僻小路) t keep them n the majr rutes - has taken ff in parts f the UK. (低交通量社区(LTN)的想法已经在英国部分地区流行起来。在这里,汽车被禁止在较安静的“老鼠跑道”上行驶,以保证它们在主干道上行驶。)”,第四段第一句“Als ppular are e-scter hire trials, which are taking place in twns and cities including Middlesbrugh, Bristl and Chelmsfrd. (试行电子滑板车租赁也很受欢迎,目前正在米德尔斯堡、布里斯托尔和切尔姆斯福德等城镇进行。)”和第五段第一二句“But that’s nt all. The wrld’s first hub fr demnstrating electric air taxis and drnes pened in Cventry earlier this year. (但这还不是全部。今年早些时候,世界上第一个演示电动空中出租车和无人机的中心在考文垂开始营业。)”可知,二,四,五段分别提出一种措施;根据第三段最后一句“LTNs reduce this danger, leading t a three-fld reductin in injuries, and have been shwn t increase the number f visitrs t lcal businesses. (LTN减少了这一危险,导致受伤人数减少了三倍,并已表明增加了当地企业的游客数量。)”可知,第三段延续第二段,继续讨论LTN。因此文章结构应该是总分总,第一段总起介绍,第二三段讨论措施一,第四段讨论措施二,第五段讨论措施三,第六段总结。故选B项。
    4.推理判断题。根据本文最后一段“Weaning us ff ur car addictin is ne f the mre difficult barriers standing between us and healthier cities. The first step that needs t be taken will be t tackle the dminance f the car. (让我们摆脱对汽车的依赖是我们与更健康的城市之间更困难的障碍之一。需要采取的第一步是解决汽车的主导地位。)”可知,文章最后作者再次强调要摆脱对汽车的依赖,而前文几段也提出了三种措施,故可推测本文作者旨在介绍解除汽车依赖的措施。故选C项。Mike Shepherd(2011)
    Skiddaw in Winter
    Cumbria, England
    It was an extremely cld winter's evening and freezing fg hung in the air. I climbed t the tp f a small rise and realised that the mist was little mre than a few feet deep, and thugh it was nly a shrt climb, I fund myself cmpletely abve it and lking at a wnderfully clear view f Skiddaw with the sum setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated frm my cllege days spent in the darkrm int Phtshp, t achieve the black—and—white image(图像).
    Timthy Smith(2014)
    Macclesfield Frest
    Cheshire, England
    I was back in my hme twn f Macclesfield t take sme winter images. Walking up a path thrugh the frest twards Shutlingsle. a lcal high pint, I came acrss a small clearing and immediately nticed the dead yellw grasses set against the fresh snw. The small pine added t the interest and I placed it centrally t take the view frm the fregrund right thrugh int the frest.
