（2024·浙江·三模）Astrnmers have examined the stars that a new space telescpe might target, t prepare fr ne f the mst advanced searches fr life n ther planets. They fund ut which star systems might be mre suitable t hunt fr ptential life.
In the 2040s, NASA plans t launch the Habitable Wrlds Observatry(HWO). Its big gal is t image abut 25 Earth-like planets in the habitable znes f sun-like stars-where water and even life culd exist. Befre building the HWO, scientists are wrking n significant challenges it will face.
One f thse is chsing stars within arund 100 light years frm Earth that the telescpe might target. Caleb Harada at the University f Califrnia, Berkeley, and his team analyzed 164 ptential stars t determine their characteristics. These stars culd becme sme f the mst studied stars ever.
Harada and his team discvered that 102 f the stars are binaries(双子星), which culd make the search fr life mre cmplex. The HWO telescpe will use a tl t blck ut the stars’ light t attempt t image planets in rbit and study the gases in their atmspheres. “If binaries are t clse tgether, the light frm the unblcked star will be s bright that it’ll cver up the planets and make them hard t see,” explains Bruce Macintsh frm the University f Califrnia Observatries.
Out f all the stars, 33 have dust rings that culd make it hard t see planets clearly. “This makes explring harder,” says Harada. “Sme stars als smetimes burst int bright flames, like ur sun’s flares, which aren’t always deadly. But we need t check clsely that they’re nt t strng, because these can affect life and living cnditins,” explains Harada.

（2024·浙江·三模）Fifty years after Liliana Cavani’s film The Night Prter was released t widespread critical disgust, hw have views f it changed?
“T write a pem after Auschwitz is barbaric,” wrte the German therist Thedr Adrn, suggesting in his 1949 essay Cultural Criticism and Sciety that artistic expressin had been rendered inadequate as a tl t understand reality after the Hlcaust. In her 1974 film The Night Prter, Italian directr Liliana Cavani challenged this thery, taking it t its lgical extreme. She used a cncentratin camp as the setting t explre a crazed sexual bnd between an adlescent prisner and an SS cmmandant, and hw, years later, this psychlgical pisn has pervaded their suls.
Amid the furre after its release — which included intensely negative reviews and an at-tempted ban by the Italian ratings bard—with typical nnchalance, Cavani tld The New Yrk Times: “This is nthing cmpared t the numberless cuples wh tear each ther apart psychlgically.”
Half a century n, hwever, des The Night Prter still seem like a prvcatin that plumbs the depths f bad taste? With the film’s recent restratin and re-releases, as well as renewed cnversatins arund cinematic depictins f the Hlcaust, many have revisited the film and remain unimpressed by its cntent. Others are perhaps seeing the film mre as Lili-an a Cavani riginally intended: as an artistic reflectin f hw sexual bsessin can be fascistic in its tunnel-visined fercity. Cavani herself put it mre simply: “lve cmes always with a price t pay.”
The Night Prter is set in Vienna in 1957, where a frmer Nazi cmmandant, Max (Dirk Bgarde), wrks in an upmarket htel. There, he clashes with frmer SS clleagues wh are determined t purge themselves f any shame abut their rles in the Final Slutin and eliminate any surviving witnesses. Max, hwever, wuld rather frget his past and mve n, living his life quietly, he says, “as a church muse.” His careful wrld is upended when Lucia (Charltte Rampling), nw married t an American cmpser, walks int his htel lbby — the very wman he sexually abused while she was a prisner in his camp, and with whm he entered int a sadmaschistic relatinship. Reunited nce mre, their twisted flie a deux resumes and a fervent debasement begins — nw, n bth sides.
20．Which f the fllwing statements best reflects the authr’s perspective n the film’s prtrayal f the Hlcaust?
A．The film is a disrespectful and explitative representatin f the Hlcaust.
B．The film is a cmplex and abstract explratin f Nazi idelgy and sexual tabs.
C．The film is a straightfrward histrical accunt f the Hlcaust.
D．The film is a rmanticized depictin f lve during the Hlcaust.
21．In the cntext f the article, which f the fllwing best describes the term “sadmaschistic”?
A．A frm f psychlgical therapy.
B．A type f artistic expressin.
C．A relatinship dynamic characterized by the exchange f pain and pleasure.
D．A histrical accunt f events during Wrld War II.
22．What is the main argument f thse wh defend the film’s artistic merit?
A．The film prvides a realistic prtrayal f the Hlcaust.
B．The film’s cntrversial nature generates imprtant discussins.
C．The film is a successful example f the “Nazisplitatin” genre.
D．The film’s plt and character develpment are highly riginal.

（2024·浙江金华·二模）I’m in a cffee shp in Manhattan and I’m abut t becme the mst disliked persn in the rm. First, I’m ging t interrupt the man reading quietly near the windw and ask fr a drink f his latte. Next, I’m ging t ask the line f peple waiting t pay if I can cut t the frnt f the queue. This is hw I chse t spend my last vacatin. Here’s why.
Grwing up, all I ever heard abut was “EQ.” It was the mid-1990s, and psychlgist Daniel Gleman had just ppularized the cncept f emtinal intelligence. Unlike IQ, which tracked cnventinal measures f intelligence like reasning and recall, EQ measured the ability t understand ther peple — t listen, t empathize (共情), and t appreciate.
My mther, an elementary schl principal, prized brains and hard wrk, but she placed a special emphasis n Gleman’s new idea. T her, EQ was the elixir (万能药) that separated the gd students frm the great after they left schl. She was determined t send me int the adult wrld with as much f this elixir as pssible.
But when I finally began my first jb, I nticed a secnd elixir in the pckets f sme f my clleagues. It gave their pinins extra weight and their decisins added impact. Strangest f all, it seemed like the anti-EQ: Instead f knwing hw t make thers feel gd, this elixir gave peple the curage t d the ppsite — t say things thers didn’t want t hear.
This was assertiveness (魄力). It biled dwn t the cmmand f a single skill: the ability t have uncmfrtable cnversatins. Assertive peple — thse with high “AQ”— ask fr things they want, decline things they dn’t, prvide cnstructive feedback, and engage in direct cnfrntatin (对峙) and debate.
A lifetime imprving my EQ helped me empathize with thers, but it als left me verly sensitive t situatins where I had t say r d things that might make thers unhappy. While I didn’t avid cnflict, I was always frustrated by my pwerlessness when I had t say r d smething that culd upset smene. This is my prblem and I’m wrking n it.
24．Why did the authr act that way in the cffee shp?
A．T imprve a skill.B．T test a cncept.
C．T advcate a new idea.D．T have a unique vacatin.
25．What d we knw abut the authr’s mther?
A．She thught little f IQ.
B．She ppularized Gleman’s idea.
C．She was a strict mther and principal.
D．She valued EQ as the key t greatness.
26．What des the wrd “it” underlined in the furth paragraph refer t?
A．EQ.B．AQ.C．Empathy.D．Curage.
27．Accrding t the passage, thse with high EQ but lw AQ are likely t be ______.

（2024·浙江·三模）An ancient, interdependent relatinship that cntributes t fd systems and ecsystem stability acrss the glbe culd be changing.
Many flwering plants can self-pllinate (自花传粉), r transfer pllen between their wn blssms fr seed generatin and reprductin, but mst f these plants have relied n pllinatrs such as butterflies and bees t reprduce. Nw — during declines reprted in many pllinatr ppulatins — a new study n the evlutin f ne flwer species’ mating system has revealed a remarkable change that culd wrsen the challenges faced by the plants’ insect partners.
The flwers reprductive evlutin may be linked t envirnmental changes such as habitat destructin and rapid nging decreases in pllinatr bidiversity, accrding t Samsn Acca-Pidlle, wh led the study published December 19 in the jurnal New Phytlgist.
Cmparing seeds f wild field pansies (三色堇) cllected decades ag in France with the plants’ mdern descendants. Acca-Pidlle and his clleagues discvered that tday’s flwers are smaller and prduce less nectar (花蜜) as a result f increased self-pllinatin, which has direct impacts n pllinatr behavir.The pansies f the past self-fertilized less and attracted far mre pllinatrs than thse f the present, accrding t the study.
“It seems that it’s nly traits (特性) that are invlved in plant-pllinatr interactin that are evlving, ” said Acca-Pidlle. The changes culd restrict the plants’ ability t adapt t future envirnmental changes and have implicatins fr “all f flral bidiversity” — ptentially decreasing flwering plants’ genetic, species and ecsystem variatin.
“This may increase the pllinatr decline and cause a negative feedback cycle,” study cauthr Pierre-Olivier Cheptu tld CNN.” If plants prduce less nectar, there will be less fd available t pllinatrs, which will in turn accelerate the rate at which the animals’ numbers decrease“, he explained.
“The majr message is that we are currently seeing the evlutinary breakdwn f plant pllinatrs in the wild,” said Cheptu, an evlutinary eclgist at the French Natinal Centre fr Scientific Research and prfessr at the University f Mntpellier.
28．Which f the fllwing may cntribute t the flwers’ reprductive evlutin?
A．Changed behaviur f pllinatrs.B．Severe pllutin t the habitats.
C．Cntinuing decline in pllinatr bidiversity.D．Increased plant-pllinatr interactin.
29．Why were pansies in the past larger and prduced mre nectar?
A．They self-pllinated less.B．They had a better mating system.
C．They attracted less pllinatrs.D．They were fertilized by themselves.
30．What is the result f the changes in the flwers’ reprductive evlutin?
A．The flwering plants may have mre variatins.
B．The evlutin f wild plant pllinatrs is cllapsing.
C．The numbers f the animals will increase mre rapidly.
D．The plants will adapt t the envirnmental changes better.

（2024·浙江·三模）Lrd Nrman Fster, renwned as ne f the wrld’s fremst architects, has devted decades t redefining the cncept f tall buildings. “What we’ve dne is create a sense f identify drawn frm real needs,” Fster said. “It’s nt a fashinable idea, but generated frm the realities we were in.” His masterpiece includes icnic structures such as the HSBC building in Hng Kng. Nw, he’s set his sights n Qatar.
Currently nearing cmpletin and set t reach a height f 301 meters, Fster’s Lusail Twers are ready t claim the title f Qatar’s tallest buildings. Lusail Twers are intended t serve as a center fr Qatar’s financial institutins, with fur distinctive blcks, tw standing at 70 stries and tw at 50 stries.
But the cnstructin itself wasn’t all plain sailing. T address the unique challenges presented by Qatar’s ht climate, Fster’s team had t depart frm the materials cmmnly used in skyscrapers in cler cuntries — part f what Fster called a decades-lng quest t “reinvent the tall building.” The design cmbines advanced shading with ventilatin (通风), while the twers’ surfaces are cated with “marine-grade”aluminum (铝) that wraps arund the buildings, prtecting the glass frm strng sunlight while maintaining the views and still letting in natural light. Central t the prject are special shading fins (鳍), which nt nly ptimize views and natural lighting fr ccupants but reduce slar radiatin by 70% cmpared t traditinal all-glass twers.
While the twers are ready t becme a recgnizable landmark fr Lusail, Fster believes that a city’s skyline reflects what lies beneath the surface. It was crucial t integrate the twers int a “lw-scale master plan.” They are strategically psitined n tp f a subway line and at the end f a cmmercial avenue linking the waterfrnt (滨水区) t the nearby ftball stadium. Accrding t Fster, the grund features f the plaza will play a significant rle in the bjective f transfrming the area int a lively public space fr the future.

Just five minutes befre clsing time, she heard a staff member saying, “smene is having a seizure (癫痫)”: Walking quickly twards the staff member, Diana saw a fellw shpper n the grund. She had fallen and was lying n the flr, jerking uncntrllably. A small grup f peple had gathered t help the wman and a staff member called an ambulance. Dian a knew that she culd use what she had learned n her first aid curse t help as well.
Knwing it was imprtant t keep the wman safe, ne f the emplyees brught ver a staff jacket and they put it under the wman’s head s she wuldn’t injure herself. “The seizure prbably lasted nly a few minutes, but it seemed much lnger while it was ging n,” Diana said. “When the jerking stpped, a man helped turn the wman n t her side. I then tilted her head back t help her keep breathing. After the seizure, the wman seemed nt t be able t understand what we were saying and culdn’t speak. Luckily, I had learned that this can happen after a seizure and it may take sme time fr peple t get back t nrmal.”
“It was such a cmfrt when she very tentatively answered that she was OK. By this time, the ambulance was n its way, the stre had clsed fr the night and the ther shppers wh had helped at first had left.” “We all a-greed that the wman was in safe hands with the first aider and a nurse wh had als stpped t help, s I started t make my way ut f the stre.”
“As I was leaving, ne f the stre’s emplyees said, ‘thank yu fr yur kindness’”. “I was very tuched by her wrds, and I tld her that I’d learned first aid in case smething like this ever happened, and nw it had. Even thugh the incident left me feeling very shaken, I was glad I knew what t d t help.”

（2024·浙江·二模）Almst all humans acquire at least ne language befre the age f five. Hw d yung children understand and prduce cmplex sentences with cmplicated meanings? D adults learn language differently frm children? Mst linguistic (语言学的) researchers agree that bth nature and nurture (后天) are invlved in language acquisitin. They disagree, hwever, abut hw much linguistic knwledge children have frm birth — and thus whether genetics r experience is mre imprtant in language acquisitin.
Fr many linguists, bilgical factrs are the mst imprtant in language learning. Sme argue that sme linguistic knwledge must exist in ur brains frm birth because children cannt pssibly experience every feature f their language befre the age f five. These linguists pint ut that nearly all children can prduce the same kinds f cmplex sentence structures by the age f five, even withut having heard them befre.
Many researchers have therized what this innate (先天的) linguistic knwledge must lk like. One ppular thery (理论) is universal grammar. This thery believes that all languages have the same basic structural fundatin. That fundatin is the innate knwledge universal t all humans. While children are nt genetically tending t speak a particular language, a universal grammar gives them certain linguistic infrmatin as a starting pint, which allws them t readily acquire the rules and patterns f whichever language they are expsed t.
Nt all linguists, hwever, believe that an inbrn ability fr language is the mst imprtant factr in language acquisitin. These researchers place greater emphasis n the influence f usage and experience. They argue that children are expsed t a wealth f linguistic structures ver the curse f five years. They gather data and determine language patterns and structures frm what they have bserved.
Linguists n bth sides f the debate are still wrking t explain the different language learning abilities f adults and children. Early childhd seems t be an imprtant perid fr mastering certain aspects f language. Children als tend t have a heightened ability t learn secnd languages. While adults may have sme advantages when studying in a frmal classrm， they usually d nt learn secnd languages. While adults may have sme advantages when studying in a frmal classrm, they usually d nt learn as quickly and easily as children. Are these different abilities a result f differences in hw adults and children are expsed t a new language? Are they the result f bilgical changes, r d bth bilgy and experience cme int play?
While ur understanding f language acquisitin is incmplete, this pursuit is well wrth the effrt. “We still dn’t understand hw a child learns its first language, why sme children have language disrders, r hw children and adults learn a secnd language,” explains Prfessr Jan Ma ling.
Explaining the prcess f language acquisitin prmises nt nly t help scientists answer these questins, but als t explain fundamental features f learning and the human brain.

（2024·浙江绍兴·模拟预测）Whales are celebrated fr being the largest and mst intelligent creatures in the cean. Nw, bilgists have discvered that they als capture (捕获) tns f carbn frm the atmsphere, a service with an ecnmic value f US $1 trillin fr all the great whales, accrding t a new study published by the Internatinal Mnetary Fund. The study pints ut that prtecting whales, nrmally viewed as a human gd, als has a mnetary mtivatin.
“The carbn capture ptential f whales is truly incredible,” said the reprt. “Our cnservative estimates put the value f the average great whale at mre than US $2 millin, and easily ver US $1 trillin fr the current stck f great whales.” Whales absrb carbn in their bdies during their lng lives, sme f which stretch t 200 years. When they die, they sink t the bttm f the cean, taking the carbn with them. Accrding t the study, each great whale traps arund 33 tns f carbn dixide n average. A tree during the same perid nly cntributes t 3 percent f the carbn absrptin f the whale.
Whale ppulatins are tday a smidgen f what they nce were. It is estimated that there are slightly mre than 1.3 millin whales in the cean, a quarter f their pre-whaling number f 4 t 5 millin. Sme species in particular, like the blue whale, are nly 3 percent f what they used t be. “We can create financial methds t prmte the restratin f the wrld’s whale ppulatins,” said the reprt’s authrs. “Rewards culd help thse wh pay significant csts as a result f whale prtectin.”
With the Paris Agreement cming int frce next year and the effects f climate change ever mre widespread, we must prevent the harm t whales. Researchers analyzed that unless new methds are put frward, it wuld take ver 30 years t duble the number f current whales, and several generatins t return them t their pre-whaling numbers. “Sciety and ur wn survival can’t affrd t wait this lng,” they said.

（2024·浙江·二模）A diet high in prtein is ften prmted as part f a healthy lifestyle, and many diets encurage cnsumers t reduce fats in favr f prtein t lse weight and gain lean muscle.
Fr the study in Nature Metablism, Bettina Mittendrfer and clleagues fund that while increasing the prprtin f prtein in daily calrie intake is beneficial, cnsuming prtein t much nt nly desn’t add t the develpment f lean muscle but can cause unintended negative health effects.
“Cnsumers are being led t believe that they can never get t much prtein in their diet,” says Mittendrfer. “Hwever, ur research shws that specific amin acids (氨基酸), which are the building blcks f prtein, can trigger heart disease thrugh a signaling mechanism at the cellular level in the bld.”
An amin acid fund in animal-prtein fds, such as beef, eggs, and milk, was fund t be respnsible fr signaling activity in cells that typically clear away rubbish in bld vessels. As cnsumptin f dietary prtein increases, s des the cnsumptin f leucine (亮氨酸), the specific amin acid respnsible fr triggering this cellular activity in the bld.
When functining nrmally, these cells wrk t keep bld vessels free frm plaque (血小板) buildup. When their prductin becmes veractive, the resulting accumulatin f spent cells in the vascular system can cause the plaque buildup and blckages they are suppsed t prevent. The resulting hardening f the arteries (动脉) is a leading risk factr fr heart attack and strke.
“Our hpe is t eventually find the Gldilcks apprach fr maximizing the health benefits f dietary prtein, such as building lean muscle, while aviding the health drawbacks frm vercnsumptin.” says Mittendrfer.
The researchers fund that cnsuming mre than 22% f daily calries frm prtein carries mre dwnside risk than dietary benefit. Fr a nrmal adult, 20 t 30 grams f prtein per meal, r 60 t 90 grams f prtein per day is adequate t supprt health.

We can nly wnder, then, what she wuld make f a new study that claims that ur pet cats actually have nearly 300 facial expressins — far larger than many experts had expected and which may have evlved as a result f them living alngside humans.
The study invlved dzens f cats being filmed at the CatCafe Lunge in Ls Angeles, where hmeless cats live tgether while up fr adptin. Mre specifically, they lgged each ccurrence f 26 facial muscle mvements, including blinks and half blinks, nse licks, and varius ear psitins. They identified 276 cmbinatins f thse mvements, each f which represents a cat facial expressin.
That was nt far away frm the 357 expressins a similar study had previusly seen in chimpanzees, and it easily beat the 80 frm gibbns (长臂猿). Dgs are said t be capable f 27 facial mvements.
Accrding t the researchers, the number f cat facial expressins was a surprise and indicates a hidden depth t hw cats express themselves. “Thanks t the develpment f Facial Actin Cding Systems, we are nw able t uncver cmmunicative cmplexity amng mammals that may have been previusly verlked.” they said.
The studies shwed that abut 45 per cent f them were clearly friendly: These tended t invlve eyes being clsed and ears and whiskers (胡须) being tilted frwards, twards anther cat, during a friendly encunter. Anther 37 per cent were bviusly aggressive r defensive.
The researchers suggest that pet cats have a greater range f facial expressins in part because being clse t peple ften als means living in clse places with ther cats — and being able t cmmunicate can avid cnflict. And they believe it shuld be pssible t read mre subtle messages. “We plan t study hw cats prduce facial signals during specific interactins, such as play, fighting, and s n.”

Tim Latimer is chief and c-funder f Ferv Energy based in Hustn, Texas. His cmpany is wrking with Ggle n its gethermal prject. Latimer said that getting electricity n the grid frm gethermal resurces is an event many new energy cmpanies never reach. He added that he believes gethermal energy will becme mre well-knwn than in the past.
The Internatinal Energy Agency(IEA) has lng suggested gethermal culd be an answer t climate change. The IEA said in a 2011 dcument that gethermal culd reach 3.5 percent f glbal electricity prductin each year by 2050. The Paris-based internatinal grup says gethermal energy culd prevent almst 800 millin tnnes f carbn dixide emissins per year.
Ferv Energy is using this first test t launch ther prjects that will prvide mre electricity t the grid. The cmpany is currently cmpleting sme wrk in suthwest Utah fr a 400-megawatt prject. Ggle and Ferv Energy started wrking tgether in 2021 t develp gethermal pwer. The plant near Winnemucca, Nevada, is nw perating and is sending abut 3.5 megawatts t the grid.
Ggle annunced in 2020 that it wuld use what it calls “carbn-free” energy every hur f every day, wherever it perates, by 2030. Many energy experts believe huge cmpanies like Ggle can play a part in increasing the use f clean energy.

The United States leads the wrld in using heat frm the Earth fr electricity prductin. U. S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granhlm said earlier this year that advances in new gethermal systems will help intrduce this frm f energy t areas where it has been thught t be impssible.

Humans have been asking this questin fr thusands f years, and recently, it’s becming clearer and clearer t scientists that the differences between peple’s rates f aging lie in the cmplex interactins amng genes, scial relatinships, envirnments and lifestyles. Even thugh yu were brn with a particular set f genes, the way yu live can influence hw they express themselves. Sme lifestyle factrs may even turn genes n r shut them ff.
Deep within the genetic heart f all ur cells are telmeres, r repeating segments f nn-cding DNA that live at the ends f the chrmsmes (染色体). They frm caps at the ends f the chrmsmes and keep the genetic material tgether. Shrtening with each cell divisin, they help determine hw fast a cell ages. When they becme t shrt, the cell stps dividing altgether. This isn’t the nly reasn a cell can age — there are ther stresses n cells we dn’t yet understand very well — but shrt telmeres are ne f the majr reasns human cells grw ld. We’ve devted mst f ur careers t studying telmeres, and ne extrardinary discver y frm ur labs is that telmeres can actually lengthen.
Scientists have learned that several thught patterns appear t be unhealthy fr telmeres, and ne f them is cynical hstility. Cynical hstility is defined by high anger and frequent thughts that ther peple cannt be trusted. Smene with hstility desn’t just think, “I hate t stand in lng lines”; they think, “Others deliberately sped up and beat me t my rightful psitin in the line!” — and then get vilently agitated. Peple wh scre high n measures f cynical hstility tend t get mre heart disease, metablic disease and ften die at yunger ages. They als have shrter telmeres. In a study f British civil servants, men wh scred high n measures f cynical hstility had shrter telmeres than men whse hstility scres were lw. The mst hstile men were 30% mre likely t have shrt telmeres.
What this means: aging is a dynamic prcess that culd pssibly be accelerated r slwed — and, in sme aspects, even reversed. T an extent, it has surprised us and the rest f the scientific cmmunity that telmeres d nt simply carry ut the cmmands issued by yur genetic cde. Yur telmeres are listening t yu. The fds yu eat, yur respnse t challenges, the amunt f exercise yu get, and many ther factrs appear t influence yur telmeres and can prevent premature aging at the cellular level. One f the keys t enjying gd health is simply ding yur part t fster healthy cell renewal.

（2024·浙江温州·三模）If the benefits f physical activity were made int a pill, everyne wuld be n it. Studies shw that mving imprves nearly every aspect f health: bsting sleep, strength, and mental well-being. Still, mst peple dn’t exercise nearly enugh. Accrding t data published in 2023, less than a third f U.S. adults get the gvernment-recmmended amunt f physical activity in their free time: at least 20 minutes f mderate-intensity aerbic exercise per day, plus a cuple f muscle-strengthening sessins each week.
Why is it s tugh t get peple t d smething s gd fr them? Physical limitatins, health prblems and mdern life are certainly factrs fr many peple. But research suggests there’s anther factr: ur brains dn’t want us t exercise. Fr mst f human existence, peple had t be physically active t carry ut the basic functins f life, such as finding fd. Humans evlved (进化) t tlerate a high level f activity-but als t cnserve energy fr when mvement was unnecessary, explains Daniel Lieberman, a human evlutinary bilgist. As a sciety, we n lnger mve much in daily life, but the evlutinary instinct (本能) t cnserve energy remains, Lieberman says. “That vice ‘I dn’t want t exercise,’ is cmpletely nrmal and natural,” he says.
Physical-activity researcher Matthieu Bisgntier demnstrated that phenmenn in a 2018study. He gave peple cntrl f a digital avatar (化身) while they were cnnected t brain-activity mnitrs. They were instructed t mve the avatar away frm images f sedentary (久坐的) behavir that appeared n screen and tward images f physical activity.

（2024·浙江绍兴·模拟预测）Vitamin D was recgnized a century ag as the cure fr rickets, a childhd disease that causes weak bnes. Then, in the early 2000s, a pile f studies suggested that lw vitamin D levels culd be a factr in cancer, cardivascular (心血管) disease, Parkinsn’s disease and s n. This simple vitamin seemed t be a cure fr whatever trubled us. Hwever, all these bservatinal studies have a fundamental weakness: they can identify a c-ccurrence between vitamin D and a disease, but they can’t prve there is a cause-and-effect relatin.
T lk at whether taking vitamin D had curative effects, Mansn and her team started the wrld’s largest and mst far-reaching randmized vitamin D trial. The study fllwed nearly 26,000 healthy adults, randmized t receive either 2,000 internatinal units (IU) f vitamin D r a placeb (安慰剂), fr an average f 5.3 years. The vlunteers were almst evenly split between men and wmen, and 20 percent f the participants were black.
The results came as a shck. Nt nly did vitamin D nt reduce rates f cancer r heart disease, but the trial als fund that vitamin D did nt prevent r imprve cgnitive functin, r reduce the risk f bne fractures (骨折). The finding abut fractures “was a real surprise t many peple,” Mansn says.
In 2011, the Institute f Medicine established an expert cmmittee t cnduct a thrugh analysis f all existing studies n vitamin D and health. The cmmittee cncluded that the bne-strengthening benefits f vitamin D remain steady when bld levels reach 12 t 16 nangrams per millililter. They als fund that there were n benefits t having levels abve 20ng/ml. Accrding t measurements f vitamin D levels in the general U. S. ppulatin, mst had levels f 20 ng/ml r mre in 2011. Levels have actually risen since then, meaning that mst peple dn’t need t take extra vitamin D．
The ups and dwns f vitamin D ffer a lessn in humility. The relatin between the vitamin and disease is far mre cmplicated than it first seemed and a reminder that scientific understanding is always develping ver time.
82．What is the prblem with the early studies regarding vitamin D?
A．N related cases were invlved.B．They lack cnvincing evidence.
C．N bservatin was cnducted.D．They fail t accunt fr anything.
83．Why were 20 percent f the participants black in Mansn’s trial?
A．T identify vitamin D-related disease.B．T help slve the prblems they faced.
C．T make their findings mre reliable.D．T shw their respect fr the minrity.
84．What d yu knw abut the findings in paragraph 3 and 4?
A．They prved vitamin D was the cure fr disease.
B．They revealed that vitamin D made n difference.
C．They came as n surprise t Mansn and her team.
D．They updated peple’s knwledge abut vitamin D．
85．What shuld we realize frm the ups and dwns f vitamin D?
A．Scientific understanding is dynamic.B．We shuld nt believe the ld theries.

（2024·浙江宁波·二模）In a wrld f music streaming services, access t almst any sng is just a few clicks away. Yet, the live perfrmance lives n. Peple still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and gilded cncert halls t hear their favurite musicians play. And nw neurscientists might knw why—live music engages the brain’s emtin centres mre than its recrded cunterpart.
Cncerts are immersive (沉浸式的) scial experiences in which peple listen t and feel the music tgether thrugh crescends, key changes and rhythmic drps. Mrever, they are dynamic — artists can adapt their playing accrding t the crwd’s reactin.
It was this last difference that led neurscientists, based at the Universities f Zurich and Osl, t study the brain respnses f peple listening t music. In the “live” experiment, participants lay in an MRI scanner listening t the music thrugh earphnes, while a pianist was psitined utside the rm. The pianist was shwn the participant’s real-time brain activity as a frm f feedback. In the recrded cnditin, participants listened t pre-recrded versins f the same tunes.
The scientists were interested in hw live music affected the areas f the brain respnsible fr prcessing emtins, particularly the amygdala, an area deep inside the brain. The results, just published in the jurnal PNAS, revealed that live music had a significantly greater emtinal impact. Whether the music cnveyed happiness r sadness, dynamic live perfrmances led t increased activity nt nly in the amygdala but als ther parts f the brain’s emtin prcessing netwrk. The researchers als fund that participants’ brain activity tracked the acustic (声学的) features f the music, like temp and pitch, far mre clsely when it was played live.
While the study didn’t fully recreate the live cncert experience, the findings suggest that artists’ ability t adjust their perfrmance in real time cntributes t the emtinal resnance (共鸣) f live music. Sme musical acts nw attempt t recreate live cncerts, such as ABBA Vyage, an immersive pre-recrded VR cncert, but withut artists’ capacity t read audience’s md and respnd accrdingly, it will never quite match the real thing.
86．Why d peple attend live shws despite music streaming services?
A．Because they prefer being with friends at a cncert.
B．Because they enjy the prcess f finding ppular music.
C．Because they intend t meet their favrite musicians in persn.
D．Because they value the emtinal cnnectin live music brings.
87．The rle f the pianist play in the “live” experiment is t _______.
A．bserve the participants’ brain activity as feedback
B．cmpare the effectiveness f live perfrmances and recrded nes
C．prvide live accmpaniment t participants inside the MRI scanner
D．demnstrate their ability t read and respnd t the audience’s md
88．What did the study published in PNAS find abut the impact f live music n the brain?
A．Live music affected nly the amygdala f the brain.
B．The brain respnded mre intensely t acustic features f live music.
C．Live music had a reduced emtinal impact cmpared t recrded music.
D．The participants’ brain activity was especially sensitive t dynamic music.
89．What des the authr suggest by mentining ABBA Vyage in the last paragraph?

（2024·浙江杭州·模拟预测）Evlutin (进化) can perfrm extrardinary makevers; tday’s airbrne sngbirds evlved frm the wingless, earthbund dinsaurs that wandered millins f years ag. But sme rganisms seem t be unchanged — in ther wrds, escape natural selectin. The celacanth, a mdern-day fish, is nearly identical t its410-millin-year-ld fssils.
Scientists have lng wndered hw these species d s. It has been assumed that natural selectin keeps sme species unchanged by selecting fr mderate r average qualities (stabilizing selectin) rather than selecting fr mre extreme qualities that wuld cause a species t change (directinal selectin).
But a study published in the Natinal Academy f Sciences USA cntradicts this idea, shwing that evlutin cnstantly favrs different qualities in seemingly unchanging animals t imprve shrt-term survival. In the lng term, thugh, “all that evlutin cancels ut and leads t n change,” says the study’s lead authr, James Strud.
Strud and his clleagues studied fr lizard (蜥蜴) specis; all relatively unchanged fr 20 millin years. The researchers caught members f these ppulatins every six mnths fr three years. They measured each lizard’s head size, leg length, mass and height, as well as the size f its sticky tes (脚趾头), nting which individuals survived. Strud expected t bserve stabılızıng selectin at wrk preserving mderate qualities. Instead he saw clearer evidence f directinal selectin: sme lizards with unique characteristics, such as stickier tes, survived better.
“The study ffers a gd explanatin fr why we see what we think is stabiliring selectin,” says Tadashi Fukami, an eclgist studying evlutin at Stanfrd University. Many new qualities are evlving in the shrt term, but they dn’t prvide a crucial advantage ver the lng term. In ther wrds, species staying unchanged may simply have fund the best pssible cmbinatin f qualities fr lasting success in their envirnment. S what happens when the lizards’ envirnment changes mre dramatically? T help answer this bigger questin, Strud is still making trips t visit the lizards.
93．Why des the authr mentin the “celacanth fish” in paragraph 1?
A．T demnstrate the pwer f evlutin.B．T add evidence t natural selectin
C．T give an example f unchanged species.D．T prve species' extrardinary makevers.
94．What's the fcus f paragraph 2?
A．Unslved mysteries.B．A cmmn belief.
C．A sharp cntrast.D．Unique Characteristics.
95．Hw did Strud cnduct his research?
A．By analyzing lizard fssils.B．By tracking research bjects.
C．By illustrating stabilizing selectin.D．By categrizing qualities f lizards.
96．What will Strud prbably d in the future?
A．Make trips t visit lizard experts.B．Summarize average features f lizards.
C．Reveal the best cmbinatins f qualities.D．Examine lizards under extreme cnditins.

It biled dwn t the cmmand f a single skill: the ability t have uncmfrtable cnversatins.(这就是魄力。这可以归结为对一项技能的掌握：进行令人不舒服的对话的能力)”和最后一段“While I didn’t avid cnflict, I was always frustrated by my pwerlessness when I had t say r d smething that culd upset smene. This is my prblem and I’m wrking n it.(虽然我没有避免冲突，但当我不得不说或做一些可能会让别人不安的事情时，我总是因为自己的无能为力而感到沮丧。这是我的问题，我正在努力解决)”可知，提高情商使作者过于敏感，缺乏魄力，且作者正在努力解决这一问题。由此推知，作者在咖啡店里那样做是为了提高一项技能。故选A项。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“My mther, an elementary schl principal, prized brains and hard wrk, but she placed a special emphasis n Gleman’s new idea.

But sme rganisms seem t be unchanged —in ther wrds, escape natural selectin. The celacanth, a mdern-day fish, is nearly identical t its410-millin-year-ld fssils.(进化能够产生非凡的变化；今天在空中飞翔的鸣鸟是从数百万年前无翅、陆生的恐龙演化而来的。但有些生物似乎没有改变——换句话说，它们逃脱了自然选择。现代鱼类腔棘鱼与其4.1亿年前的化石几乎一模一样)”可知，本段提到腔棘鱼是为了举一个物种不变的例子。故选C项。
94．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Scientists have lng wndered hw these species d s. It has been assumed that natural selectin keeps sme species unchanged by selecting fr mderate r average qualities (stabilizing selectin) rather than selecting fr mre extreme qualities that wuld cause a species t change (directinal selectin).(科学家们长期以来一直想知道这些物种是如何做到这一点的。人们一直认为，自然选择通过选择适中或平均的品质（稳定选择）来保持某些物种的不变性，而不是选择会导致物种发生变化的更极端的品质（定向选择）。)”可知，本段主要讲述了人们一直认为自然选择是稳定选择而不是定向选择，也就是一个共同的信念。故选B项。
95．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Strud and his clleagues studied fr lizard (蜥蜴) specis; all relatively unchanged fr 20 millin years. The researchers caught members f these ppulatins every six mnths fr three years. They measured each lizard’s head size, leg length, mass and height, as well as the size f its sticky tes (脚趾头), nting which individuals survived. Strud expected t bserve stabılızıng selectin at wrk preserving mderate qualities. Instead he saw clearer evidence f directinal selectin: sme lizards with unique characteristics, such as stickier tes, survived better.(斯特劳德和他的同事研究了蜥蜴物种；所有这些在2000万年间都相对没有变化。研究人员连续三年每六个月捕捉这些种群中的成员。他们测量了每只蜥蜴的头部大小、腿长、体重和身高，以及粘性脚趾的大小，并记录了哪些个体存活了下来。斯特劳德原本希望观察到稳定选择在保持中等品质方面的作用。然而，他看到的却是更明确的定向选择证据：一些具有独特特征的蜥蜴，比如更粘的脚趾，存活率更高)”可知，斯特劳德是通过跟踪研究对象来进行他的研究的。故选B项。
96．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In ther wrds, species staying unchanged may simply have fund the best pssible cmbinatin f qualities fr lasting success in their envirnment. S what happens when the lizards’ envirnment changes mre dramatically? T help answer this bigger questin, Strud is still making trips t visit the lizards.(换句话说，保持不变的物种可能只是找到了在其环境中持久成功的最佳品质组合。那么，当蜥蜴的环境发生更剧烈的变化时会发生什么呢？为了帮助回答这个更大的问题，斯特劳德仍在继续探访这些蜥蜴)”可知，接下来斯特劳德会在极端条件下检查蜥蜴。故选D项。
