During Yang Zhongkai’s early years,a 500-year-old majestic ginkgo(银杏) tree that did not sprout leaves for two to three years at a stretch used to be a daily sight for him on his way to and from high school.Since villagers widely regarded the tree as having the power to make their wishes come true,they used to kneel down in front of the “lucky” tree and burn offerings under it,which led to prolonged heat exposure at its roots,stunting its growth.
“Millions of such old trees are in urgent need of protection given their importance as vital biological resources and symbols of ecological civilization,” said Yang,who started the team—Zhiyue—dedicated to protecting ancient trees.“But the recording and management of ancient and famous trees nationwide commonly rely on Excel spreadsheets (电子表格),which present issues such as information silos,lack of real-time updates and incomplete content,” he said.
However,things have changed of late.Yang and his team now use a newly-developed artificial intelligence technology to identify and register trees accurately based on individual traits and GPS tracking.“With the acceleration of a new generation of technological revolution and industrial transformation,new technologies bring more excitement to the protection of ancient trees,” Yang said.“We can now collect data on the trees’ growth,health and environment in real time,which helps us make informed decisions on how to better protect them.”
“In addition to applying cutting-edge technologies such as AI and large models to assist in the development of traditional industries,we also make great efforts to promote the development of charitable causes through technological and platform advantages,” said Wu Yunsheng,head of YouTu Lab,adding that “the power of technology can change the world”.
1.What does the underlined word “stunting” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Preventing. B.Promoting.
C.Keeping. D.Recording.
2.What can we infer about the new technology
A.It will replace Excel spreadsheets in the future.
B.It is an effective tool to protect ancient trees.
C.It will be widely used in modern industries.
D.It has remarkable advantages over other AI.
3.What is Wu Yunsheng’s attitude towards the application of technology
A.Skeptical. B.Cautious.
C.Supportive. D.Indifferent.
4.What’s the purpose of the passage
A.To emphasize the importance of technology.
B.To show technology’s aid to ancient trees.
C.To introduce large models’ new function.
D.To arouse the awareness of protecting trees.

The Iberian lynx,which,as the name suggests,is resident in the Iberian Peninsula,is a beautiful medium-sized cat noted for its spotted coat,short tail and long,pointy ears.Feeding on rabbits and other small animals,the lynx lives in the Mediterranean bushes of southern Spain’s Do ana National Park and the Sierra Morena,although it has now also been seen in other parts of Andalucia as well as Portugal.
Just over 20 years ago,there were only 92 of them left,which made it one of the rarest cats in the world.But now,thanks to successful programs,the population has risen to about 2,021.There are several reasons as to why the Iberian lynx was on the brink(边缘) of extinction.During Spain’s Franco era,the ruler asked people to kill the lynx,saying that they were pests.Further things impacting the numbers have been general habitat destruction and lynx being hit by vehicles when they try to cross roads.The most important reason for their decline,though,is that rabbits,which make up 90 percent of a lynx’s diet,were in trouble themselves with diseases such as myxomatoses,leading to a massive decline in European rabbit populations,which in turn meant that lynx were starving to death.
In order to rebuild the lynx population conservation,efforts for this keystone species have focused on increasing the rabbits,protecting and restoring Mediterranean bush and forest habitat,and reducing deaths caused by human activities.Since 2010,more than 400 Iberian lynx have been seen in Portugal and Spain.The Iberian lynx now occupies at least 3,320 km2,an increase from 449 km2 in 2005.
“The significant recovery of the Iberian lynx shows that even the most threatened species can be brought back from the brink of extinction through committed,science-based conservation actions and provides hope for those working to protect wildlife across the globe,” said Sarah Durant,professor at ZSL’s Institute of Zoology in reaction to the news.
5.Which of the following makes the Iberian lynx famous according to the text
A.Its appearance. B.Its population.
C.Its large size. D.Its habitat.
6.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A.The main food of the Iberian lynx.
B.The characteristics of the Iberian lynx.
C.The existing number of the Iberian lynx.
D.The causes leading to the decline of the Iberian lynx.
7.What do Sarah Durant’s words show
A.It is high time to protect wildlife all over the world.
B.The efforts to recover the Iberian lynx are meaningful.
C.Science-based programs matter most to animal conservation.
D.Species that are in great danger will be easily saved from extinction.
8.What can be the best title for the text
A.The History of the Iberian Lynx
B.Human Activities Influence the Iberian Lynx
C.The Iberian Lynx Makes a Remarkable Recovery
D.The Damage to Habitat of the Iberian Lynx

By the time you finish reading this passage,a species on Earth might disappear forever.Humans need a variety of animals,plants,and microorganisms for healthy living.Studies show that the decline in biodiversity(生物多样性),or the variety of life on Earth,causes a serious threat to our existence.My colleagues and I found that biodiversity is also important for mental health.
Contact with nature benefits mental health,particularly for city residents.People living near green spaces have a 71% lower risk of developing depression and anxiety.However,most studies have not looked at how natural diversity influences these benefits.To explore this,we studied whether environments with many natural features,like trees,plants,and wildlife,improve mental health more than those with fewer features.From April 2018 to September 2023,1,998 people used the Urban Mind app to report their environment and mental health over 41,000 times.
We discovered that green spaces with high natural diversity offer more mental health benefits than those with low diversity.Participants reported that nearly a quarter of this positive impact was due to natural diversity,and these benefits could last up to eight hours.Our study suggests that to promote mental health,we should protect biodiversity.This means moving away from decorative gardens and parks with cut grass,which have low biodiversity,toward natural fields and streams that support a variety of plants and animals.
Other studies support our findings.A survey of 15,000 families revealed that those living near areas rich in plants and birds had lower rates of mental health issues,even after accounting for social and economic differences.Our study adds that even brief,daily meets with biodiverse nature can improve mental health.Biodiverse nature wakens the senses,improves focus,and reduces mental tiredness.It also encourages outdoor exercise and social interaction,which improve mood.Additionally,diverse environments reduce pollutants and moderate temperatures,protecting against chronic(慢性的) conditions and stress.
1.What does the passage say about the decline in biodiversity
A.It mostly harms animals.
B.It is not important to humans.
C.It is a serious danger to humans.
D.It only happens in the countryside.
2.What conclusion does the author’s study draw
A.We should plant more trees in urban parks.
B.We should reduce the focus on decorative gardens.
C.We should limit public access to protect green spaces.
D.We should shift from low biodiversity to natural diversity.
3.What does the underlined word “moderate” most likely mean in paragraph 4
A.Increase. B.Balance.
C.Reduce. D.Manage.
4.What would be the best title for this passage
A.The Environmental Impact of Urban Parks
B.The Benefits of Physical Activity in Nature
C.How Social Interaction Improves Well-being
D.How Natural Diversity Influences Mental Health

San Francisco’s waterfront(海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason.
Its beautiful old landmarks,like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge,have been seen in many books,TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco.The future of San Francisco’s waterfront,however,isn’t safe.
In 2016,the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the US’s most endangered historic places,in part because of the threat of sea level rise.The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change.St.Mark’s Basilica in Venice,Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco.
“The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects(交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes,director of the Port of San Francisco.As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon,Forbes said,“Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However,that’s changed.Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years.The state estimates(预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060,and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.
Now,San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline.But the growing magnitude(规模) and frequency of the climate-related threats,the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites,and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t,can make it hard for cities to know what to do first.
5.What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for
A.Crowded beaches.
B.Old landmarks.
C.Comfortable climate.
D.Beautiful bridges.
6.What challenge is the waterfront facing
A.The threat from rising sea levels.
B.The loss of public support.
C.The competition from other cities.
D.The influence of tourist activities.
7.Why is the earthquake mentioned in paragraph 4
A.To stress the seriousness of sea level rise.
B.To give an example of existing threats.
C.To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection.
D.To compare different types of natural disasters.
8.What can be known from the text
A.Threats have been removed.
B.Heritage sites are in ruins.
C.Solutions are under consideration.
D.The shoreline has been flooded.

Rock climbing has become a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many.The natural world offers a thrilling adventure through beautiful environments filled with wildlife.
However,rock climbing happens in places that are generally hard to access and unsuitable for agricultural expansion and urbanization.As a result,they have generally suffered less human impact and the areas tend to be important sites for biodiversity(生物多样性). 1 With the sport booming,the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff ecosystems is under pressure.
2 Giving nesting birds some place is what climbers can do.The presence of climbers at the cliff where birds are nesting tends to cause them to abandon their chicks to starvation.Climbers should check in advance if there are any bird nesting restrictions(限制).This information is usually found on climbing guidebooks. 3 If climbers spot a nest,try to leave a note and find a way to communicate this to the rest of the local climbing community.
Some cliff-specialist plant species have very narrow ranges.If a suitable habitat is rare,they have few opportunities to grow elsewhere.However,climbers can remove vegetation and soil when establishing a route that has not been climbed before.This can wipe out the cliff ecosystem that was there previously.So climbers should keep the impact on vegetation in mind when developing new climbing routes. 4
The number of climbers heading out to these cliffs is increasing at an astonishing pace.It is important for climbers to know what they can do for the protection of the cliff ecosystem. 5 Please help those with less experience and knowledge by sharing the information about climbing and biodiversity damage!
A.And some organizations have an online database offered to check.
B.Seemingly a simple way is to spread the word about these good practices.
C.Therefore,every climber is responsible for protecting the cliff ecosystem.
D.Even climbers can ask the climbing gym to organize a discussion about this topic.
E.These data can then be accessed by scientists to avoid environmental issues on cliffs.
F.For example,40% of sport climbing areas in Spain are found in nature protection areas.
G.Even they can work with other route developers and conservationists to understand the potential impact on the plants.

This new book to be published next month is three times as long as that one.In the book,we can know it is human activities that are to blame for the extinction of those species.The truth at present is that the animals in the forest are at risk because many trees have been cut down.Although what is known to us is that without water and forests,life would not exist in the world,humans destroy the forests for profits.Besides,the book is suitable for people who want to explore the reason why dinosaurs died out suddenly as well.

My husband and I always wanted to go to the Caribbean but didn’t know much about the islands or how we were going to afford it.By chance,a friend of ours in Australia mentioned “pet sitting” and that it is something you can do all over the world.
We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options.There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world,but we tried our luck,sent a request,and to our surprise landed a three-month job in Grenada,so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits.
Inspired by a Canadian couple,we decided to start our own travel blog.We began by writing about the Virgin Islands,highlighting the beautiful beaches.However,for every photo album of a beautiful beach,there were 10 photos of trash(垃圾).It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue,especially on such primitive and remote beaches.So,we began to share photos of the trash we saw and how much we could pick up on our daily dog walks.
The more we looked into plastic pollution,the more we realized the severity of the global plastic pollution.From that point,we used our platform to create awareness and highlight ways to say no to plastic and travel plastic-free.We changed our daily routines,our way of living,and even our diets to accommodate more organic foods and little to no plastic packaging.
It’s been over three years now and we continue to do what we can.This journey has led us to some amazing places,working with great brands and even organizing a country-wide beach clean-up campaign in Grenada.
Our aim now is to keep on going.We love connecting with like-minded people.It’s been amazing few years that was sparked by a conversation about pet sitting.Who would have guessed

In the first test of its kind in Europe,and only the second in the world,Belgian researchers tested 39 brands of straws(吸管) for the group of synthetic(合成的) chemicals known as poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).The straws are made from five materials—paper,bamboo,glass,stainless steel and plastic.PFAS were found in the majority of the straws tested and were most common in those made from paper and bamboo.They were not found only in steel straws tested.
PFAS are used to make everyday products,from outdoor clothing to non-stick pans,resistant to water,heat and stains.They are,however,potentially harmful to people,wildlife and the environment.They have been related to a number of health problems,including lower response to vaccines(疫苗),lower birth weight,thyroid disease,liver damage,kidney cancer and testicular cancer.They break down very slowly over time and can last thousands of years in the environment,a property that has led to them being known as “forever chemicals”.
A growing number of countries,including the UK and Belgium,have stopped the sale of single-use plastic products,including drinking straws,and plant-based versions have become popular.The PFAS concentrations(浓度) were low in them and,bear in mind that most people tend to only use straws occasionally,bringing a limited risk to human health.However,PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time.
It isn’t known whether the PFAS were added to the straws by the producers for waterproofing or the PFAS were the result of contamination.Potential sources of contamination include the soil the plant-based materials were grown in and the water used in the production process.However,the presence of the chemicals in almost every brand of paper straws means it is likely that it was,in some cases,being used as a water-resistant coating,say the researchers.
5.Why are PFAS called “forever chemicals”?
A.They are commonly seen in daily life.
B.They bring humans health problems.
C.They remain in the environment for long.
D.They can resist water,heat and stains.
6.How can PFAS harm people’s health
A.By bringing people air pollution.
B.By polluting humans’ food.
C.By building up little by little in humans’ body.
D.By making people addicted to drinking easily.
7.What does the underlined word “contamination” in the last paragraph mean
A.Pollution. B.Discovery.
C.Experiment. D.Development.
8.What does the text mainly talk about
A.More and more countries give up single-use plastic products.
B.PFAS are widely used in the production of daily necessities.
C.Certain kinds of new synthetic chemicals were discovered.
D.Environment-friendly drinking straws are actually harmful.

As cities balloon with growth,access to nature for people living in urban(城市的) areas is becoming harder to find.If you’re lucky,there might be a pocket park near where you live,but it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans,but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.
The research team focused on a large urban park.They surveyed several hundred park-goers,asking them to submit(呈递) a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park.The researchers then examined these submissions,coding(编码) experiences into different kinds.For example,one participant’s experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the kinds “sitting at beach” and “listening to waves”.
Across the 320 submissions,a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge.After the coding of all submissions,half a dozen kinds were noted most often as important to visitors.These include encountering wildlife,walking along the edge of water,and following an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language,which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them.For example,the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park.Back downtown during a workday,they can enjoy a more domestic(家庭的) form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
“We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives.And for that to happen,we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn,a senior author of the study.
1.What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A.Pocket parks are now popular.
B.Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
C.Many cities are overpopulated.
D.People enjoy living close to nature.
2.What does the underlined word “emerge” in paragraph 4 mean
A.Imagine. B.Obtain.
C.Appear. D.Integrate.
3.Why did the researchers code participants’ submissions into categories
A.To compare different types of park-goers.
B.To explain why the park attracts tourists.
C.To analyze the main features of the park.
D.To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries.
4.What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn

Everyone knows this: Slowly turn up the heat on a frog in a pot of water,and the frog won’t hop out.Unaware of the slight increase in heat,it will stay until—well,until it dies.When it comes to the effect of rising global temperatures on amphibians(两栖动物),the frog-boiling story is more than just a metaphor(隐喻).
Climate change is becoming one of the biggest threats to frogs and other amphibians,according to a major study published in the journal Nature.Between 2004 and 2022,rising temperatures became the main reason why more than 100 amphibian species were nearly dying out.
The spread of disease among frogs and the destruction of their habitats have long been recognized as reasons why many amphibians are decreasing.But this new study establishes climate change as a major risk for amphibians around the world,too.The soft-skinned animals lack the fur and feathers to help adjust(调节) their temperature in this hotter and drier world.
Less attention is paid to frogs and other amphibians compared to more well-known groups like birds.But losing amphibians would be serious because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems,wolfing insects down and,in turn,being eaten by larger predators(捕食者).“Without those amphibians to fill that role,we will see the breakdown of this food web,” said Neam,who works for an Austin-based environmental group.
Luckily,habitat protection and other measures have been taken to help recover more than five dozen amphibian species from Costa Rica to Malaysia.“It’s not all bad news,” said Jennifer Luedtke,an amphibian group leader with the International Union for Conservation of Nature.“But we really must build on this improvement and significantly increase the amphibian conservation.”
5.How is the topic introduced
A.By sharing a story.
B.By raising a question.
C.By explaining ideas.
D.By listing facts.
6.What is the main reason for the decrease of amphibians according to the new study
A.The loss of habitats.
B.The lack of feathers.
C.The spread of disease.
D.The rise of temperature.
7.What will happen if the number of amphibians decreases continuously
A.Wolves will depend more on insects.
B.Predators will be the key role of the web.
C.The ecosystem will become more diverse.
D.The food chain will be destroyed.
8.How does Luedtke feel about the future of amphibians
A.Uncertain. B.Curious.
C.Hopeful. D.Worried.

Wherever you go,you’ll notice the plastic crisis(危机) faced by the planet.Many people are now seeking creative solutions to this problem. 1 You can do this by building a vertical garden with recycled plastic bottles—a brilliant idea which can be adapted to suit almost any household in any environment.
An example from India shows how this inventive technique is truly changing lives.The Mehra family from Amritsar were locally hot news last June when they showed off the vertical garden they had created at their home.The family used over 175,000 plastic bottles to create the garden,fixing the bottles to the outside walls of their home and filling them with over 33 varieties of plants. 2 Incredibly,this has lowered the internal temperature of their home.
3 If you have a wall,you can have a vertical bottle garden.With space so limited around urban areas,this is a vital benefit,especially to urban residents.
If you struggle with ordinary gardening due to joint or muscle problems,vertical gardening can help you enjoy caring for plants without having to bend too much. 4 Just enjoying the lovely view of these vertical gardens is a positive thing in itself,but the act of setting up and caring for one will help to create inner balance and have further calming benefits in a stressful world.
Whether you create your own small-scale vertical plastic garden at your home,or increasingly,whether large institutions get on board with the concept,every vertical garden created this way is recycling plastic which would otherwise be a pollutant,actively reducing local pollution. 5
A.You don’t need a lot of space.
B.As a result,you feel a sense of your own worth.
C.The key is,what can be used to replace plastic products
D.The plants are watered using a simple drip irrigation system.
E.Besides,interaction with plants has a positive effect on mental health.
F.Additionally,vertical gardening offers advantages for physical health as well.
G.What if we put waste plastic to a good use and enriched lives at the same time

Venice will not be included on UNESCO’s list of “World Heritage in Danger” after a panel(小组) voted to reject the recommendation of experts at the agency who had raised concerns that Italy had not done enough to protect the fragile city threatened by climate change,mass tourism and development.
“Venice is not at risk,” Mayor Luigi Brugnaro wrote on social media,describing the result as a “great victory”.He added,“The world has understood all the work we have done to save our city.”
Italy was warned in July,2023 that Venice,a World Heritage Site since 1987,was being considered for UNESCO’s “in danger” list,despite significant changes made to try to protect Venice.Large cruise ships have been banned from entering Venetian waters.Massive barriers at the mouths of the lagoon hold seawater at bay and stop high tides from flooding the city.And officials have begun tracking tourists via their cellphone data to monitor their movements.
Besides,day-trippers to Venice are expected to pay 5 euros on days when the city is extremely crowded with tourists.City officials hope that the measure will control some of the millions of tourists flocking to the city each year.Those who stay overnight won’t be charged.
Despite the changes in Venice,UNESCO experts closely monitoring the city felt that Italy and the local government had not done enough.Once a site is placed on the danger list,it can lose its World Heritage status,which acknowledges its outstanding universal value.But the 21 member states thought Italy’s efforts were to be appreciated,and several said it was “premature” to put Venice on the list.Several pointed out that climate change was a global issue,affecting many cultural heritage sites,and said Italy should not be singled out.
1.What is the attitude of the Mayor of Venice towards the result
A.Worried. B.Neutral.
C.Unconcerned. D.Content.
2.What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A.The conservational efforts of Venice.
B.The warning issued about Venice.
C.Venice’s being recognized as in danger.
D.The multiple threats posed to Venice.
3.Why will Venice charge its tourists taking day trips extra
A.To boost the local economy.
B.To monitor their movements.
C.To fight global climate crisis.
D.To manage local overtourism.
4.What is the purpose of the text
A.To report that Venice is safe.
B.To explain how Venice is protected.
C.To show Italy has not done enough.
D.To argue Venice should not be on the list.

In 2022,scientists discovered that geese spend an average of 10% longer time looking for food than normal during at least the next 11 days after fleeing from the fireworks.They obviously need that time to return to their previous state.
In 2023,with data from weather radars(雷达),an international team of researchers led by ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam showed how many birds take off immediately after the start of the fireworks,at what distance from fireworks this occurs and which species groups mainly react.They found the effects were strongest within the first 5 km of fireworks,but overall flight activity remained at a higher level at distances up to about 10 km.“Birds take off as a result of an acute flight response due to sudden noise and light.We already knew that many water birds react strongly,but now we also see the effect on other birds throughout the Netherlands.Generally,communities of large-bodied species display a stronger response than communities of small-bodied species,” says Hoekstra.
Because 62% of all birds in the Netherlands live near humans’ living areas,the influences of fireworks are high for all birds throughout the country.Flying requires a lot of energy,so birds should be disturbed as little as possible during the cold winter.Measures to ensure this are especially important in open areas such as grasslands,where many larger birds spend the winter.The effects of fireworks on birds are less pronounced near forests.In addition,smaller birds such as finches live there,which are less likely to suddenly fly away from disturbance.
Hoekstra and his team argue for fireworks-free zones in areas where large birds live.“These zones could be smaller in areas where light and sound travel less far,such as near forests.Besides,fireworks should mainly be lit at central locations in built-up areas,as far away from birds as possible.It would be best for birds if we moved towards light shows without sound,such as drone(无人机) shows,” Hoekstra said.
1.Why are geese mentioned in the first paragraph
A.To show the food shortage they face.
B.To show the shocking fireworks effect on birds.
C.To highlight they are sensitive to sudden noise.
D.To show birds’ quick reaction to fireworks.
2.What did Hoekstra and his team find
A.Smaller birds were more likely to be disturbed.
B.Birds were affected by fireworks up to a distance of 10 km.
C.Fireworks created a lifelong impact on bird flight activity.
D.Only water birds were easily influenced by fireworks displays.
3.What does the underlined word “pronounced” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Admirable. B.Avoidable.
C.Noticeable. D.Predictable.
4.What does Hoekstra advise people to do to protect birds
A.Ban fireworks in built-up areas.
B.Use drones to monitor bird flight activity.
C.Replace fireworks with quieter light shows.
D.Build fireworks-free zones as large as possible.

New Scientist magazine’s chief reporter Adam Vaughan recently published “How your day will look in a carbon-neutral(碳中和) world”.Here,he imagines what a typical day would be like in the future—through the eyes of Isla,“a child in 2050”—after we’ve cut carbon emissions.Vaughan acknowledges the writing is out of imagination but it is concluded by research,expert opinion,and experiments happening right now.
Isla lives in the United Kingdom—will it still be a united kingdom in 2050?—and her life looks pretty much like life does today: She has a house,a car and a job.There are forests,and giant machines taking carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) out of the atmosphere.It all sounds like a green and pleasant land,but it didn’t sound like the future to me.It’s just like the life we are living now.
It’s an interesting exercise,imagining what it will be like in about 30 years.I thought I would give it a try: Here is my story about Edie,living in Toronto,Canada in 2050.
Edie’s alarm goes off at 4:00 am.She gets up,folds up the bed in the garage that is her apartment and workshop.She considers herself to be very lucky to have this garage.The only people that live in houses these days are multi-millionaires from all over the world,especially from Arizona and other southern states,wishing to move to Canada with its cooler climate and plentiful water.They can afford the million-dollar immigrant visa fee.
At that time,there are no office or industrial jobs anymore: Artificial Intelligence and robots will take care of that.The few jobs left are in service,culture or health care.Luckily,Edie has her job.
She checks the balance in her Personal Carbon Allowance (PCA) account to see if she has enough to buy another battery for her e-bike.If she doesn’t have enough then she will have to buy carbon credits,and they are expensive.She sets her alarm for 6:00 pm when the streets of Toronto will come alive again on this hot November day.
5.What can we know about Adam Vaughan’s passage
A.It is about creative imagination.
B.It mainly describes advances in science.
C.It focuses on solutions to carbon emissions.
D.It is his vision of the future.
6.What does the author think of Isla’s life
A.Frightening. B.Ordinary.
C.Ideal. D.Unusual.
7.Why do people like Canada according to Edie’s story
A.People want to get better education.
B.The living expense there is rather low.
C.It has a cool and comfortable temperature.
D.The water in Canada hasn’t been polluted.
8.What does the author intend to tell us
A.Two women’s entirely different lives.
B.What our life will be like in 2050.
C.A look into Adam Vaughan’s life.
D.How we can handle our account well.

Hard work has been part of every laureate’s(获奖者的) journey towards the Nobel Prize.There are many examples.Francoise Barré-Sinoussi spent time in the lab on the morning of her wedding.After Michael Brown’s first daughter was born,he went straight back to discuss the next day’s experiments.Early-career scientists often ask laureates about work-life balance. 1
Spend time with your family and friends.Many laureates stress the value of maintaining personal relationships.Doctor Brian Kobilka was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. 2 However,despite a heavy workload,he also made time for his family.As Brian Kobilka explains,family provides essential support.
Sleep well at night. 3 It is therefore tempting to finish work before health-promoting activities.However,this is a trap which Oliver Smithies advises against.Not only is sleep needed to stay healthy,but your brain needs sleep to function at full capacity,so you can generate ideas and solve problems.
4 Family,work and sleep are all important to a scientist’s success.But they don’t all have to be a constant focus.Sometimes it will be important to avoid maintaining everything at a high level.Don’t be daunted by the idea you have to do everything perfectly at once—you can have a different focus at different times.
Don’t work too hard.Ultimately,working too hard won’t be beneficial.Not only do you risk burning yourself out,but you are also limited in your thinking.Taking time away from work can allow you to approach problems in a new way. 5 Laureates often point out that working long hours doesn’t always lead to efficiency.
A.Their answers can be inspiring.
B.My solutions may be of some help.
C.Focus on different aspects of your life.
D.Never hesitate to bravely rise to challenge.
E.Sleep,exercise and eating well can all conflict with working long hours.
F.He would work part-time in an emergency room as well as working in the lab.
G.Going for a walk,for example,gives you the chance to take a step back and see things differently.

答案精析
Ⅰ.
1.B [推理判断题。根据第一段内容“In 2022,scientists discovered that geese spend an average of 10% longer time looking for...their previous state.”可知,鹅在逃离烟花后的至少11天内,寻找食物的时间平均比正常情况下多出10%,这说明烟花对鹅有持续的影响,所以提到鹅是为了展示烟花对鸟类的惊人影响。故选B。]
2.B
3.C [词义猜测题。根据前文“Flying requires...spend the winter.”可知,在草地等开阔地带有很多大型鸟类,它们对烟花的反应很强烈,在这些地区应控制烟花对鸟类的影响。后文“In addition...from disturbance.”指出,森林附近的小型鸟类对烟花干扰的反应不那么剧烈,由此可推知画线词所在句表示,在森林附近,烟花对鸟类的影响没有那么明显,所以画线词的意思是“明显的”。故选C。]
4.C [细节理解题。根据最后一段中Hoekstra的话“It would be best for birds if we moved towards light shows without sound,such as drone(无人机) shows”可知,Hoekstra建议人们用更安静的灯光秀来代替烟花以便保护鸟类。故选C。]
5.D
6.B [观点态度题。根据第二段中“It all sounds like a green and pleasant land,but it didn’t sound like the future to me.It’s just like the life we are living now.”可知,作者认为艾拉的生活就像我们现在的生活一样是普通的、平常的。故选B。]
7.C

Ⅲ.
1.B [condition条件;film电影;memory记忆;business企业。根据上文“As a child,I would sit through movies I loved over and over.”以及下文“becoming a screenwriter”可知,小时候作者喜欢看电影,他梦想有一天成为编剧,能够自己创作电影。故选B。]
2.B [unnecessary不必要的;impossible不可能的;appropriate合适的;worthwhile值得的。根据上文“But school was difficult for me for many reasons”可知,作者觉得上学对他来说就很困难了,成为一名编剧更是不可能的。故选B。]
3.C [photo照片;painting绘画;poem诗;report报告。根据下文“Previously invisible,I was now ‘a published poet’ receiving praise and slaps(拍打) on the back.”可知,作者后来被同学们称为“出版过作品的诗人”,由此可知他的诗歌被做成小册子。故选C。]
4.A [give away分发,赠送;check through检查;finish off完成;make up组成。根据下文“to every student”可知,作者的诗歌被做成小册子分发给他的同学们。故选A。]
5.D [rudely粗鲁地;strictly严格地;fairly相当;differently不同地。根据下文“Previously invisible,I was now ‘a published poet’ receiving praise and slaps(拍打) on the back.”可知,作者以前被同学们忽视,但是当他的诗歌小册子被分发给同学们之后,却受到同学们的称赞。也就是作者受到和以前不同的对待。故选D。]
6.A [confidence信心;ability能力;curiosity好奇心;support支持。根据下文“The lack of confidence that annoyed me early in life took decades to ____________.”可知,作者缺乏自信心。故选A。]
7.A [however然而;thus因此;otherwise否则;moreover此外。根据上下文可知,作者缺乏自信心,但是他却没有因此消沉,而是选择了自省,并且继续读书、写作和看电影。所以上下文之间为转折关系。故选A。]
8.C [wealthy富裕的;strong强壮的;smart聪明的;brave勇敢的。根据下文“So,I kept reading,writing and watching movies not only for ____________ but to analyse how great stories are told.”可知,虽然作者缺乏自信心,但是他自己却一直不服输,他会问自己这些人是否会比他更聪明,或者只是比他更努力。故选C。]
9.C [live活;wait等待;try试着;rush冲。根据语境并结合选项可知,作者虽然缺乏自信却一直不服输,他认为成功的人只是比他更努力地去尝试。故选C。]
10.B [assessment评估;entertainment娱乐;competition竞争;adjustment调整。根据空后“but to analyse how great stories are told”可知,作者读书、写作和看电影不仅仅是为了娱乐,也是为了去学习一些知识。故选B。]
11.D [return返回;grow生长;arise出现;shake摆脱,去除。根据空前“The lack of confidence that annoyed me early in life”可知,早年的缺乏自信花了作者好几十年才得以摆脱。故选D。]
12.D [misunderstand误解;ignore忽略;deserve应得;dislike不喜欢。根据转折连词but可知,虽然作者的工作报酬很高,但是他不喜欢这份工作。下文中的“getting yet another job I didn’t like”也是提示。故选D。]
