At the age f 14, James Harrisn had a majr chest peratin and he required 13 units (3.4 gallns) f bld afterwards．The bld dnatins saved his life, and he decided that nce he turned 18, he wuld begin dnating bld as regularly as he culd．
Mre than 60 years and almst 1,200 dnatins later, Harrisn, whse bld cntains an antibdy (抗体) that has saved the lives f 2.4 millin babies frm miscarriages (流产), retired as a bld dnr n May 11．Harrisn’s bld is valuable because he naturally prduces Rh-negative bld, which cntains Rh-psitive antibdies．His bld has been used t create anti-D in Australia since 1967．
“Every bttle f anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Rbyn Barlw, the Rh prgram directr tld the Sydney Mrning Herald．“It’s an amazing thing．He has saved millins f babies．I cry just thinking abut it.” Since then, Harrisn has dnated between 500 and 800 milliliters f bld almst every week．“I’d keep ging if they let me,” Harrisn tld the Herald．His dctrs said it was time t stp the dnatins．They had already extended the age limit fr bld dnatins fr him, and they’re cutting him ff nw t prtect his health．
Harrisn’s retirement is a blw t the Rh treatment prgram in Australia．Only 160 dnrs supprt the prgram, and finding new dnrs has prven t be difficult．But Harrisn’s retirement frm giving bld desn’t mean he’s cmpletely ut f the game．Scientists are cllecting and catalging his DNA t create a library f antibdies and white bld cells that culd be the future f the anti-D prgram in Australia

A．Because he wanted t be a celebrity.
B．Because his bld is valuable.
C．Because he was nce saved by the bld dnatins.
D．Because the Rh treatment prgram in Australia need him.
5．What can we learn abut Rbyn Barlw?
A．He was sad because millins f babies suffer frm bld disease.
B．He was deeply mved by Harrisn’s dnatins.
C．He was wrried because Harrisn may die f lsing t much bld.
D．He was anxius abut Harrisn’s retirement as a dnr.
6．What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A.Harrisn’s influence t the Rh prgram will still exist after his retirement.
B.After Harrisn’s retirement, the Rh prgram will fail.
C.Harrisn’s retirement will nt affect the Rh prgram.
D.A library has been built fr the study f Harrisn’s DNA.
7．Which wrd can best describe Harrisn?
A．Patient.B．Diligent.C．Patritic.D．Devted.
Recently, campaigners have encuraged us t buy lcal fd. This reduces“ fd miles”, that is, the distance fd travels t get frm the prducer t the retailer. They reasn that the higher the fd miles, the mre carbn emissins. Buying lcal fd, therefre, has a lwer carbn ftprint and is mre envirnmentally friendly.
Hwever, the real stry is nt as simple as that. If ur aim is t reduce carbn emissins, we must lk at the whle farming prcess, nt just transprtatin. Other prcesses, including fertilizatin, strage, heating and irrigatin, cntribute much mre.
In fact, imprted fd ften has a lwer carbn ftprint than lcally grwn fd. Take apples fr example. In autumn, when apples are harvested, the best ptin fr a British resident is t buy British apples. Hwever, the apples we buy in winter r spring have been kept refrigerated fr mnths, and this uses up a lt f energy. In spring, therefre, it is mre energy- efficient t imprt them frm New Zealand, where they are in seasn. Heating als uses a lt f energy, which is why grwing tmates in heated greenhuses in the UK is less envirnmentally friendly than imprting them frm Spain, where the crp grws well in the lcal climate.
We must als take int accunt the type f transprt. Transprting fd by air creates abut 50 times mre emissins than shipping it. Hwever, nly a small prprtin f gds are flwn t the cnsumer cuntry, and these are usually high value, perishable items which we cannt prduce lcally. Even then, these fds may nt have a higher carbn ftprint than lcally grwn fd. Fr example, beans flwn in frm Kenya are grwn in sunny fields using manual labur and natural fertilizers, unlike in Britain, where we use il- based fertilizers and diesel machinery. Therefre, the ttal carbn ftprint is still lwer.
It's als wrth remembering that a prduct's jurney des nt end at the supermarket. The distance cnsumers travel t buy their fd, and the kind f transprt they use will als add t its carbn ftprint. S driving a lng way t shp fr fd will negate any envirnmental benefits f buying lcally grwn prduce.
Recently, sme supermarkets have been trying t raise awareness f fd miles t. But ultimately, the measures are t simple. Lts f different factrs cntribute t a fd's carbn ftprint besides the distance it has travelled.
8．Why is imprting apples frm New Zealand mre energy- efficient fr British residents in spring?
A. It reduces fd miles.
B. British apples are in shrt supply.
C. New Zealand apples are cheaper.
D. British apples have been stred under energy- cnsuming cnditins.
9．Which f the fllwing statements is crrect accrding t the passage?
A. All imprted fd has a higher carbn ftprint than lcally grwn fd.
B. Beans flwn in frm Kenya have higher carbn ftprints than grwn in Britain.
C. Transprting fd by air always results in a higher carbn ftprint than grwing lcal fd.
D. Only cnsidering fd miles is an versimplified way t assess a fd's envirnmental impact.
10．The underlined wrd“ negate” in paragraph 5 prbably means _______.
A. enhanceB. ignre
C. cancel ut D. misunderstand
11．What is the authr's attitude twards buying lcal fd?
A. Strngly supprtive. B. Cmpletely ppsed.
C. Cautiusly skeptical. D. Smewhat indifferent.
As f 2020, the wrld’s biggest lithium-in (锂离子) battery is hked up t the Suthern Califrnia pwer grid and can prvide 250 millin watts f pwer, r enugh t pwer abut 250,000 hmes. But it’s actually nt the biggest battery in the wrld: these lakes are.
Wait—hw can a pair f lakes be a battery? T answer that questin, it helps t define a battery: it’s simply smething that stres energy and releases it n demand. The lithium-in batteries that pwer ur phnes, laptps, and cars are just ne type. They stre energy in lithium ins.
Hw d the tw lakes stre and release energy? First, ne is 300 meters higher than the ther. Electricity pwers pumps that mve billins f liters f water frm the lwer lake t the higher ne. This stres the energy by giving the water extra gravitatinal ptential energy. Then, when there’s high demand fr electricity, valves (阀门) pen, releasing the stred energy by letting water flw dwnhill t pwer 6 giant turbines that can generate 3 billin watts f pwer fr 10 hurs.
Unfrtunately, neither f the giant batteries we’ve talked abut s far is big enugh t pwer multiple cities. The tw lakes’ setup requires specific gegraphy, takes up a lt f land, and has high upfrnt csts t build. The giant lithium-in battery in Califrnia can pwer abut 250,000 hmes, yes, but nly fr an hur. Lithium-in batteries als require certain heavy metals t make. These resurces are limited, and mining them causes envirnmental damage. Inventrs all ver the wrld are rising t the challenge f making batteries that can meet ur needs--many f them even weirder than the tw lakes.
12．Why is the wrld’s biggest lithium-in battery mentined in Paragraph 1?
A．T make a cmparisn.B．T intrduce the tpic.
C．T stress its imprtance.D．T declare a fact.
13．Which statement is true accrding t the passage?
A．With the help f the pumps, the tw lakes stre energy.
B．The water flws by itself t release the stred energy.
C．The tw lakes’ setup is able t pwer multiple cities.
D．Lithium-in batteries are envirnmentally friendly.
14．What will mst prbably be talked abut in the fllwing paragraph?
A．Inventrs’ wrries.B．Inventrs’ effrts.
C．Stranger batteries.D．New challenges.
15．Which is the best title fr the passage?
A．Battery Inventrs Face New Challenges.
B．The Wrld’s Biggest Battery Lks Nthing Like a Battery.
C．Giant Batteries Fail t Meet Our Needs.
D．Newly-invented Batteries.

My family didn’t seem t mind — they were great cmplainers, t — thugh I d recall sme eye-rlling and lng-drawn sighs frm friends and schlmates when I wuld vice my negative pinins. In fact, I can distinctly recall the exact mment when I first realized my cmplaining habit reached its expert level.
One day, as I reminded my husband nce again t remve his bills frm the dining-rm table, put his shes away, and lwer that dg-gne radi, he put up his hand. “Stp! Stp yur cmplaining. It’s driving me crazy.”
I lked at him blank-eyed.
He tk a deep breath. “Yu never hear me cmplaining, d yu?”
“Well,” I answered, “yu’re cmplaining abut my cmplaining, s actually, yes, I am hearing yu cmplain right nw.”
His eyes widened. Sweat frmed n his upper lip. Then he grabbed his car keys and ran ut f the dr.

参考答案
1．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段：西蒙斯研究员将与石溪分校的研究顾问配对，加入一个研究小组或团队，并承担一个项目的责任。西蒙斯研究员通过制作研究海报来结束他们的项目，可知，参与者需要设计一个研究海报。故选D.
2．答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据Eligibility(资格)部分：申请者在申请时必须是高中三年级(11年级),并且在项目开始时必须至少16岁，可知，参与者有年龄要求。
故选A。
3．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据Husing and pining Dinner部分：预计24个夏季项目费用(住宿):2,781.50美元(包括600美元的膳食计划和61.50美元的学生健康服务费用)可知，住宿费除去膳食费用和健康服务费用，即，2,781.50美元—600美元—61.50美元-2120美元。故选D。
4．答案：C
5．答案：B
6．答案：A
7．答案：D
8．答案： D
解析：从文章第三段中的“ Hwever, the apples we buy in winter r spring have been kept refrigerated fr mnths, and this uses up a lt f energy. In spring, therefre, it is mre energy- efficient t imprt them frm New Zealand, where they are in seasn.(然而,我们在冬季或春季购买的苹果已经冷藏了数月,这会消耗大量能源。因此，在春季，从新西兰进口苹果更节能，因为那里的苹果正当季。)”可以得出答案。这两句话明确指出英国在春季时，苹果已被冷藏数月，处于耗能状态，所以从新西兰进口苹果更节能。
9．答案： D
解析：从文章第二段中的“ If ur aim is t reduce carbn emissins, we must lk at the whle farming prcess, nt just transprtatin.(如果我们的目标是减少碳排放，我们必须考虑整个农业生产过程，而不仅仅是运输。)”以及最后一段中的“ Lts f different factrs cntribute t a fd’s carbn ftprint besides the distance it has travelled.(除了食物运输的距离之外，还有许多不同的因素会影响食物的碳足迹。)”可以得出答案。这两句话说明只考虑食物里程来评估食物对环境的影响过于简单，与D选项相符。
10．答案： C
解析：从文章第五段“ It's als wrth remembering that a prduct's jurney des nt end at the supermarket. The distance cnsumers travel t buy their fd, and the kind f transprt they use will als add t its carbn ftprint. S driving a lng way t shp fr fd will negate any envirnmental benefits f buying lcally grw n prduce.(同样值得记住的是，产品的旅程并不在超市结束。消费者购买食物所走的距离以及他们使用的交通方式也会增加食物的碳足迹。所以，开车很远去购买食物会使得购买本地种植产品的任何环境效益都无效。)”可以得出答案。“ negate”表示使…无效,与“ cancel ut(抵消)”意思相近。A选项“ enhance”是增强,与原文意思不符;B选项“ ignre”是忽视,也不准确;D选项“ misunderstand”是误解,不符合语境。
11．答案： C
解析：作者的态度在全文多处体现,如第二段中的“ Hwever, the real stry is nt as simple as that.(然而,实际情况并非如此简单。)”表明作者对购买本地食物持谨慎态度，并非简单地支持或反对。同时，通过分析不同因素对食物碳足迹的影响，也能看出作者的谨慎怀疑态度。
12．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段关键句But it's actually nt the biggest battery in the wrld: these lakes are.(但它实际上并不是世界上最大的电池:这些湖泊是)可知，第一段首先介绍了世界上最大的锂离子电池，然后话锋一转，虽然它是世界上最大的锂离子电池，但并不是世界上最大的电池，世界上最大的电池是这些湖泊，接下来的段落介绍了这些湖泊是如何发电的.由此可知，第一段提到了世界上最大的锂离子电池是为了引出文章主题--湖泊发电。故选B项。
13．答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段关键句：这两个湖泊是如何储存和释放能量的?首先，一个比另一个高300米。电力泵将数十亿公升的水从下游湖泊输送到上游湖泊。它通过给水额外的重力势能来储存能量，可知，“在水泵的帮助下，这两个湖能够储存能量”是正确的。故选A项。
14．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句Inventrs all ver the wrld are rising t the challenge f making batteries that can meet ur needs -- many f them even weirder than the tw lakes.(世界各地的发明家都在迎接挑战，要制造出能满足人类需求的电池--其中许多甚至比这两个湖还要古怪)可推断出，接下来的段落最有可能谈到的是一些更奇怪的电池。故选C项。
15．答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句：但它实际上并不是世界上最大的电池:这些湖泊是，可知，文章主要介绍的是世界上最大的电池，而这些电池看起来不像电池，而是两个湖泊，并介绍了它们是如何储存和释放能量的。由此可知，The Biggest Battery Lks Nthing Like a Battery.(最大的电池看起来一点也不像电池)适合作本文最佳标题。故选B项。
16．答案：EADGC
解析：①前文“Are wrms the heres we didn’t knw we needed? Silent, slimy and wriggling (扭动), yu might think that wrms are gd fr nthing except bait (诱饵) n the end f a fishing ple. (蠕虫是我们不知道自己需要的英雄吗？沉默、黏糊糊、蠕动着，你可能会认为蠕虫除了在鱼竿末端做诱饵外别无用处)”提到人们通常认为蠕虫没有特别的用处，后文段落具体介绍了蠕虫的大作用。因此E项“Hwever, there is mre t the humble wrm than meets the eye. (然而，这条不起眼的蠕虫并不像我们看到的那么简单)”符合语境，指出蠕虫其实并不简单，和前文构成转折，引出后文段落内容。故选E。
②前文“The British naturalist Charles Darwin said that n ther animal has “played such an imprtant part in the histry f the wrld as these lwly rganised creatures”. They have lived n Earth fr 600 millin years and have even survived five mass extinctins. (英国博物学家查尔斯·达尔文说，没有其他动物“在世界历史上扮演过像这些低等组织生物这样重要的角色”。它们在地球上生活了6亿年，甚至在五次大灭绝中幸存下来)”引用达尔文的话，强调蠕虫的重要性，并提到蠕虫顽强的生存能力，后文段落介绍蠕虫的奇特之处。因此A项“S, what d wrms d that is s great? (那么，蠕虫有什么了不起的地方呢)”符合语境，承接前文，以问题的形式引出对蠕虫了不起之处的探究，引出后文的具体介绍。故选A。
③前文“Earthwrms literally mve the earth, and this is why farmers lve them. As they travel, they aerate (使透气) the sil by lsening, mixing and xygenating it. (蚯蚓可以移动土地，这就是为什么农民喜欢它们。在移动过程中，它们通过松动、混合和充氧使土壤透气)”介绍蚯蚓帮助松动土壤，让土壤透气。因此D项“It increases the grund’s capacity t hld and empty water. (这增加了地面蓄水和排水的能力)”符合语境，指出这样对地面蓄水和排水方面的帮助，承接前文。故选D。
④前文“In 2022, a grup f scientists at the Margarita Salas Centre fr Bilgical Research islated enzymes (酶) fund in wax wrm saliva (唾液) which are plastic-eating. (2022年，Margarita Salas生物研究中心的一组科学家从蜡虫唾液中分离出了能吃塑料的酶。)”提到科学家们分离出了能吃塑料的酶。因此G项“These can break dwn a very cmmn plastic that nrmally breaks dwn ver many years. (它们可以分解一种很常见的塑料，这种塑料通常需要很多年才能分解)”符合语境，介绍这种酶的巨大作用，承接前文，其中These指代前文的enzymes。故选G。
⑤空处位于段首，应该是段落中心句，和前面两个段落并列，继续介绍蠕虫的大作用。后文“Scientists at the University f Califrnia, Santa Barbara have been studying their jaws, which are made up f 10% cpper prteins (铜蛋白) and are s strng that they last the wrm’s entire five-year lifespan. Because f this research, engineers may start using the jaws as inspiratin fr the design and manufacture f materials like cncrete. (加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的科学家们一直在研究它们的下颚，它们的下颚由10%的铜蛋白质组成，非常坚固，可以维持这种蠕虫整整五年的寿命。由于这项研究，工程师们可能会开始使用颚作为设计和制造混凝土等材料的灵感)”主要介绍通过研究这种下颚，工程师们得到一些建筑方面的灵感。因此C项“And wrms are even inspiring the building industry. (蠕虫甚至给建筑行业带来了灵感)”符合语境，契合后文内容。故选C。

32．答案：resting；enjyable；sent；what；Fr；frequently；linked；be applied；it；t keep
解析：①考查非谓语动词。句意：花时间在户外是一种全方位的感官体验，无尽的天空，美丽的森林，风的声音和温暖的阳光照在你的脸上。sunrays与空白处所填词在逻辑上是主谓关系，故用现在分词作后置定语。故填resting。
②考查形容词。句意：除了大自然令人愉快的景象、声音和感觉之外，大自然熟悉的气味也同样具有吸引力。空白处所填词在文中作定语修饰“sights, sunds and sensatins”，故填形容词enjyable。故填enjyable。
③考查动词时态。句意：来自英国肯特大学的研究人员让194名参与者在一年四季都在森林里放松。根据下一句中的“The participants reprted. . . ”可知，谓语动词动作发生在过去，故用一般过去时。故填sent。
④考查名词性从句。句意：参与者报告说，当他们闻到他们所说的“新鲜空气”或“泥土”气味时，他们感到放松。空白处所填词引导宾语从句，且在从句中作described的宾语，指物，应用连接代词what引导，故填what。
⑤考查介词。句意：例如，松树让一些参与者想起了圣诞节。fr instance意为“例如”，首字母应大写。故填Fr。
⑥考查副词。句意：“我们发现，气味会影响多个领域的健康，其中最常被讨论的是身体健康，尤其是与放松、舒适和恢复活力有关的健康，”研究人员在研究中写道。空白处所填词作状语修饰动词“discussed”，故填副词frequently。故填frequently。
⑦考查非谓语动词。句意：他们还发现，人们在没有气味的地方感觉更安定，这种结果可能与没有城市难闻的气味有关，比如污染。此处是“with+宾语+宾补”复合结构作状语，link和宾语this result之间是被动关系，应用过去分词作宾补。故填linked。
⑧考查动词语态。句意：该研究的合著者Jessica Fisher博士指出，这些结果可以应用于未来的实践。“these results”是“apply”动作的承受者, 故用被动语态；情态动词culd在此用于表示“可能性”，后接动词原形。故填be applied。
⑨考查代词。句意：在他看来，当谈到享受在树林里远足或在开阔的天空下野餐时，不仅要睁大眼睛和耳朵，还要睁大鼻子。when it cmes t. . . 为固定句型，意为“谈到，涉及……”。故填it。
⑩考查非谓语动词。句意同上。句中it作形式主语，空白处用不定式作真正主语。故填t keep。
