Rather than indulge in smartphones and games, Zhang Yixuan prefers to spend his summer vacation walking in nature, encountering little creatures like shrimps and crabs. The 17-year-old went viral on Sina Weibo recently for his knowledge of biology, which led him to discover a new species of freshwater crabs of the genus (属) Sinolapotamon in 2022.
As his father, who was born in a rural area, loved catching fish and crabs himself at an early age, Zhang was always taken outdoors by his parents to explore as much as possible and observe little creatures quietly without any disruptions (打扰) .
Now a grade 12 student at Yulin High School, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, Zhang has dozens of "living treasures" that he has collected from the outdoors, including insects, fish, shrimps and crabs. "This one is a species of Nanhaipotamon that I caught in a mountainous area, " said Zhang, pointing to a vibrant (色彩鲜亮的) crab moving its amusing eyes around. "You can see it just shed (蜕去) its shell. "
There is also a row of empty bottles and jars in Zhang's room to store his specimens (标本) "I can notice the slight differences between two shrimps, and then I take them back to my room for further observation, "said Zhang.
It is the microscope his father bought him that makes the bedroom look more like a mini biology lab than anything else. It's a place where Zhang can devote himself to identifying shrimps or observing crabs day and night. With the help of his microscope, Zhang immerses himself in decoding (解码) the natural world. Sometimes he spends hours simply examining a piece of fish scale (鱼鳞) , the leg of a crab or the antenna (触角) of an insect. He often works so late that his parents have to force him to go to bed.
"I'm often amazed by what I see while placing these tiny and fragile (脆弱的) things under the microscope. No matter how humble an insect is, each life is so delicately and uniquely structured, "said Zhang.
24．What made Zhang popular on Sina Weibo
A.His rich knowledge of biology. B.His videos of outdoor adventures.
C.His collection of “living treasures”. D.His discovery of a new type of crab.
25．What inspired Zhang's interest in exploring nature
A.His father's job. B.A crab he once caught.
C.His school's field trips. D.His childhood experiences.
26．Where does Zhang put the microscope bought by his father
A.In Zhang's lab at school. B.In Zhang's bedroom.
C.In Zhang's study. D.In Zhang's classroom.
27．Which of the following best describes Zhang
A.Ambitious and energetic. B.Curious and dedicated.
C.Outgoing and adventurous. D.Knowledgeable and modest.
What is life Like most great questions, this one is easy to ask but difficult to answer. The reason is simple: we know of just one type of life and it's challenging to do science with a sample size of one. The field of artificial life—called ALife for short—is the systematic attempt to spell out life's fundamental principles. Many of these practitioners, so-called ALifers, think that somehow making life is the surest way to really understand what life is.
So far no one has convincingly made artificial life. This track record makes ALife a ripe target for criticism, such as declarations of the field's doubtful scientific value. Alan Smith, a complexity scientist, is tired of such complaints. Asking about "the point" of ALife might be, well, missing the point entirely, he says. "The existence of a living system is not about the use of anything, "Alan says. "Some people ask me, 'So what's the worth of artificial life 'Do you ever think, 'What is the worth of your grandmother ' "
As much as many ALifers hate emphasizing their research's applications, the attempts to create artificial life could have practical payoffs. Artificial intelligence may be considered ALife's cousin in that researchers in both fields are enamored by a concept called open-ended evolution (演化) . This is the capacity for a system to create essentially endless complexity, to be a sort of "novelty generator". The only system known to exhibit this is Earth's biosphere. If the field of ALife manages to reproduce life's endless "creativity" in some virtual model, those same principles could give rise to truly inventive machines.
Compared with the developments of AI, advances in ALife are harder to recognize. One reason is that ALife is a field in which the central concept—life itself—is undefined. The lack of agreement among ALifers doesn't help either. The result is a diverse line of projects that each advance along their unique paths. For better or worse, ALife mirrors the very subject it studies. Its muddled (混乱的) progression is a striking parallel (平行线) to the evolutionary struggles that have shaped Earth biosphere.
Undefined and uncontrolled, ALife drives its followers to repurpose old ideas and generated novelty. It may be, of course, that these characteristics aren't in any way surprising or singular. They may apply universally to all acts of evolution. Ultimately ALife may be nothing special. But even this dismissal suggests something: perhaps, just like life itself throughout the universe, the rise of ALife will prove unavoidable.
28．Regarding Alan Smith's defence of ALife, the author is _____.
A.supportive B.puzzled C.unconcerned D.doubtful
29．What does the word "enamored" underlined in paragraph 3 most probably mean
A.Shocked. B.Protected. C.Attracted. D.Challenged.
30．What can we learn from this passage
A.ALife holds the key to human future.
B.ALife and AI share a common feature.
C.Al mirrors the developments of ALife.
D.AI speeds up the process of human evolution.
31．Which would be the best title for the passage
A.Life Is Undefined.Can AI Be a Way Out
B.Life Evolves.Can AI Help ALife Evolve, Too
C.Life Is Undefined.Can ALife Be Defined One Day
D.Life Evolves.Can Attempts to Create ALife Evolve, Too
After years of severe drought combined with climate change, the water level in Lake Powell, the second largest reservoir (水库) on the Colorado River, has dropped to just 24% of capacity. It is continuing to decline to levels not seen since the reservoir was first filled in the 1960s.
In an effort to improve the shrinking reservoir, the federal government announced that it will hold back a large quantity of water this year to reduce risks of the lake falling below a point at which Glen Canyon Dam would no longer generate electricity.
"Today's decision reflects the truly unexpected challenges facing the Colorado River Basin and will provide operational certainty for communities and businesses that rely on the Colorado River, "Tanya Trujillo, the federal Interior Department's assistant secretary for water and science, said in a statement announcing the measures.
It is the first time the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has called its authority to change its operations in this way at Glen Canyon Dam on the Arizona-Utah border. The agency said the plan is intended to protect infrastructure at the dam and its ability to generate hydropower (水力发电) . It will ensure that water supplies continue to be available for the nearby city of Page, Arizona, and the Navajo Nation.
The plan is supposed to reduce the risks of Lake Powell falling to extremely low levels. The measures will include releasing about 500,000 acre-feet of water from Flaming Gorge Reservoir, which is located upstream, and leaving an additional 480,000 acre-feet in Lake Powell by reducing the volume of water released from Glen Canyon Dam.
"What's needed now, urgently, is for federal and state water managers to work in partnership with other related parties, to take the steps necessary to build confidence in the long-lasting management of the Colorado River, "Pitt said. "This will require intensive and dedicated resources to develop and implement (执行) plans that put water demands into balance with supplies. "
32．What effect would the shrinking of Lake Powell bring
A.A water shortage across America. B.Reduced electricity generation.
C.A decline in tourism in the region. D.Increased extreme natural disasters.
33．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A.The purpose of the government's plan.
B.The way to protect infrastructure at the dam.
C.The importance of ensuring water volume in the city.
D.The difficulties of controlling the water level of the lake.
34．How will the government stop Lake Powell falling to extremely low levels
A.By restricting the generation of hydropower.
B.By releasing water to Flaming Gorge Reservoir.
C.By broadening sources of income and reducing output.
D.By building additional dams to increase the storage capacity.
35．What does the passage focus on
A.The need for sustainable water management.
B.The impact of climate change on water sources.
C.The effort to address the water crisis in Lake Powell.
D.The imbalance between water demands and supplies.
三、七选五
36．One of the primary goals of cognitive behavioral therapy （疗法）is finding effective ways to channel your anxiety into productive action. The best possible one is under the care of an experienced mental health care provider. Still, if you are hoping to stop being paralyzed （麻痹）by anxiety and use this energy to fuel and improve your life, you can.①_____
Set a goal. Goal-setting is one way to use your anxiety as fuel. Take notice of your anxious thoughts and worries. What are you most concerned about？②_____ Instead of shaking in your boots, get to work developing a plan that allows you to overcome these fears.
Challenge yourself regularly to build resilience （韧性）Think of your resilience to anxiety as a muscle.③_____ Rather than avoiding those situations that cause anxiety, gradually expose yourself to them more often. When you do this, you will find that, over time, they lose their power. For instance, if you hate public speaking, you might benefit from signing up for a local Toastmasters club. Doing so will allow you to practice speaking in front of a group more often, which will reduce your anxiety.
④_____ Anxiety can feel like a live wire in your body. You can't sit still or focus. Exercise is a great activity to make use of this spare energy. Exercise offers a host of benefits like fighting off illness and helping you manage weight. One of the benefits most helpful to you, however, is its ability to neutralize anxiety and improve your mood.
Perform reality testing. You don't have to become a slave to your anxious thoughts, giving them permission to get you all worked up. ⑤_____Reality testing involves assessing a situation for errors in thinking .To assess the reality of this situation, you want to ask what evidence is there that says this is true. Did your friends actually call you lame？Are they avoiding you？
A.Put them to the test instead.
B.What are your biggest fears
C. Burn off nervous energy with physical activity.
D. The more you use the muscle, the stronger it becomes.
E. How can you deal with getting fired if it does happen
F.Just transform anxiety into action by using positive strategies.
G.When you find yourself becoming anxious, check your thought patterns.

54．阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Being the youngest in my family has had its advantages, of course. But being the youngest also came with its fair share of troubles. I was often told what I couldn't do and why. I knew that my family loved me. They always tried to protect me, help me and take care of me, but I couldn't wait to show them I could do things by myself.
It was a hot day in Florida. The school year had just ended and it was time for summer vacation. We had just gotten a little black dog who we named One-Eyed.
Everybody wanted to do something for the dog: feed him, teach him tricks and take long walks with him. Everybody was so happy to have this little active, playful new addition to our family. I was so desperate to pet One-Eyed myself, too. Every time I asked my brother or my sister if I could do that, they would shout, “No! ”or tell me that I had germs (细菌) . Once, they even convinced me that I had so many germs and that if I touched One-Eyed he would die! I really believed them and was scared that something terrible would happen to the dog. Once I even confessed to my mom that I touched the dog when no one noticed. At first, my mom seemed very confused about what I was telling her, but then she realized that they were playing a joke on me to keep me away from the dog. My mom scolded my brother and sister, "You better stop teasing your little brother! "Little brother! That's exactly what I was. That really got my blood boiling. The frustration built up inside me as I watched them enjoy their time with One-Eyed, excluding me from the joyous moments. I knew I was capable of taking care of myself and forming my own connection with our new furry friend. Determination filled my heart, fueling a newfound sense of independence.
I took one look at the dog and decided, I was going to prove to everyone that I could pet and play with One-Eyed.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing this, my brother and sister couldn't believe their eyes.

15．答案：A
16．答案：C
17．答案：B
解析：IF is an eating pattern which involves switching between periods of eating and not eating. It has become a popular trend in recent years as it's an easy way not only to lose or maintain weight but to improve health in general. Studies suggest IF can improve heart health, control blood sugar and perhaps even reduce the rate of brain aging. There are various methods to practice IF. One common approach is the 5 2 method. It means people eat normally five days a week, and take within 500 calories on the other two days. Another popular method is the 16/8 method. It means don't eat anything for 16 hours in every 24 hours, which includes sleep time. And only eat within an eight-hour "window". During the 16 hours, you can consume calorie-free drinks including water, coffee and tea-no milk. Early problems can involve hunger and mood changes, but most people find their bodies soon adjust to their new eating pattern and find it easier to keep up with than other diet plans. This is usually because of IF's simplicity. It doesn't require complicated calorie counting or avoiding certain types of food. Most doctors believe IF is safe for most healthy adults if it is done sensibly. However, it is not appropriate for everyone, and should be avoided by expecting mothers, individuals with certain medical conditions, and those who are very underweight.

解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的"As much as many ALifers hate emphasizing their rescarch's applications, the attempts to create artificial life could have practical payoffs.(尽管许多ALifers 讨厌强调他们研究的应用,但创 造人工生命的尝试可能会有实际的回报。) "可知,作者认为创造人工生命的尝试是会有回报的;再结合第二段"So far no one has convincingly made artificial life. This track record makes ALife a ripe target for criticism, such as declarations of the field's doubtful scientific value. Alan Smith, a complexity scientist, is tired of such complaints. Asking about ‘the point’ of ALife might be, well, missing the point entirely, he says. ‘The existence of a living system is not about the use of anything.’ Alan says. ‘Some people ask me, "So what's the worth of artificial life " Do you ever think, "What is the worth of your grandmother " ’ (到目前为止,还没有人能令人信服地制造出人工 生命。这一记录使生命科学成为批评的成熟目标,比如对该领域可疑的科学价值的声明。复杂性科学家艾伦 史 密斯厌倦了这样的抱怨。他说,询间ALife的“意义’可能完全没有抓住要点。‘一个生命系统的存在与任何东西 的使用无关。’艾伦说。‘有人问我,“那么人工生命的价值是什么 ”你有没有想过,“你祖母的价值是什么 ” ’)”可 推知,因为还没有人能令人信服地制造出人工生命,才导致使生命科学成为批评(认为其没有科学价值)的成熟目 标,作者认为这是不合理的.所以下文引用了艾伦 史密斯的话语对这种观点进行反驳,即关于艾伦 史密斯对 ALife的辩护,作者表示支持。故选A。
29．答案：C
解析：词句猜测题。根据画线词上文"Artificial intelligence may be considered ALife's cousin in that researchers in both fields are enamored by a concept called open-ended evolution(演化).(人工智能可能被认为是ALife的表亲， 因为这两个领域的研究人员都被一个叫做开放进化的概念enamored。)"可知，人工智能可能被认为是ALife的表 亲,说明人工智能和ALife二者间有共同之处,可推测是因为这两个领域的研究人员都被一个叫做“开放进化”的 概念所吸引,所以才有了这种观点。故画线词意为“吸引”。故选C。
30．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Artificial intelligence may be considered ALife's cousin in that researchers in both fields are enamored by a concept called open-ended evolution(演化).”可知,ALife 和AI有一个共同的特点。 故选B。
31．答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“They may apply universally to all acts of evolution. Ultimately ALife may be nothing special. But even this dismissal suggests something; perhaps, just like life itself throughout the universe, the rise of ALife will prove unavoidable.(它们可能普遍适用于所有进化行为。最终,ALife可能没有什 么特别的。但即使是这种否定也表明了一些事情:也许.就像整个宇宙中的生命本身一样,ALife的崛起将被证明 是不可避免的。)”,并结合文章主要探讨了ALife是否也在不断地进化。D选项“生命在进化。创造ALife的尝试 也能进化吗 ”是最合适的标题。故选D。

34．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知.该计划旨在降低鲍威尔湖水位降至极低水平的风险。这些措施将包括:从 位于上游的火焰峡谷水库释放约50万英亩英尺的水,并通过减少今年格伦峡谷大坝的放水量,在鲍威尔湖额外留 下48万英亩英尺的水。由此可推知,开源节流是阻止鲍威尔湖水位降至极低水平的办法。故选C项。
35．答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了由于多年的严重干旱和气候变化，美国科罗拉多河上的第二大水库鲍威尔湖的 水位已严重下降,政府正在采取措施解决这一问题。C项能够概括文章主要内容,故选C项。

②根据上文"Take notice of your anxious thoughts and worries. What are you most concerned about "可推测，本空应是对worries的提问，分析各选项可知，B 项符合语境，且B项中的fears与下文的these fears相呼应。故选B。
③由上文"Think of your resilience to anxiety as a muscle. "中的muscle可迅速找到D项，下文中的"Rather than avoiding those situations that cause anxiety, gradually expose yourself to them more often."指出与其避开那些导致焦虑的情况，不如逐渐让自己更频繁地接触它们，由此可知，D项符合语境。故选D。
④本空位于段首，应概括本段的主要内容，并且结构应与其他段落首句的结构相同。由下文中"Exercise is a great activity to make use of this spare energy. Exercise offers a host of benefits like …. is its ability to neutralize anxiety and improve your mood."可知，本段讲的是锻炼可以缓解人们焦虑并缓和人们的情绪。故选C。
⑤由本段首句可知，本段内容与reality testing有关。根据上文"You don't have to become a slave to your anxious thoughts... "及下文"Reality testing involves assessing a situation for errors in thinking."可知，空处应当是建议进行测试。故选A。

54．答案：
I took one look at the dog and decided, I was going to prove to everyone that I could pet and play with One-Eyed. Determined, I approached One-Eyed slowly, extending my hand towards him. As I got closer, the dog wagged his tail and looked up at me, as if he knew I was about to do something brave. Taking a deep breath, I gently placed my hand on his furry head. The moment our skin touched, I felt an incredible rush of joy and excitement. One-Eyed didn't seem bothered at all；in fact, he seemed to enjoy the attention. It was as if a bond had instantly formed between us.
Seeing this, my brother and sister couldn't believe their eyes. Their jaws dropped in astonishment. "You did it!" my sister exclaimed, her voice filled with awe. My brother, still in disbelief, stammered, "But...but we told you all those things！"I smiled triumphantly, realizing that I had proven them wrong. "You see, "I said confidently, "I am capable of doing things on my own. And just because I'm the youngest doesn't mean I can't take care of myself and be responsible." Being the youngest had its challenges, but it also shaped me into the resilient, determined person I am today. And I will forever be grateful to One-Eyed for showing me that age and size don't define one's abilities.

Rather than indulge in smartphones and games, Zhang Yixuan prefers to spend his summer vacation walking in nature, encountering little creatures like shrimps and crabs. The 17-year-old went viral on Sina Weibo recently for his knowledge of biology, which led him to discover a new species of freshwater crabs of the genus (属) Sinolapotamon in 2022.
As his father, who was born in a rural area, loved catching fish and crabs himself at an early age, Zhang was always taken outdoors by his parents to explore as much as possible and observe little creatures quietly without any disruptions (打扰) .
Now a grade 12 student at Yulin High School, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, Zhang has dozens of "living treasures" that he has collected from the outdoors, including insects, fish, shrimps and crabs. "This one is a species of Nanhaipotamon that I caught in a mountainous area, " said Zhang, pointing to a vibrant (色彩鲜亮的) crab moving its amusing eyes around. "You can see it just shed (蜕去) its shell. "
There is also a row of empty bottles and jars in Zhang's room to store his specimens (标本) "I can notice the slight differences between two shrimps, and then I take them back to my room for further observation, "said Zhang.
It is the microscope his father bought him that makes the bedroom look more like a mini biology lab than anything else. It's a place where Zhang can devote himself to identifying shrimps or observing crabs day and night. With the help of his microscope, Zhang immerses himself in decoding (解码) the natural world. Sometimes he spends hours simply examining a piece of fish scale (鱼鳞) , the leg of a crab or the antenna (触角) of an insect. He often works so late that his parents have to force him to go to bed.
"I'm often amazed by what I see while placing these tiny and fragile (脆弱的) things under the microscope. No matter how humble an insect is, each life is so delicately and uniquely structured, "said Zhang.
24．What made Zhang popular on Sina Weibo
A.His rich knowledge of biology. B.His videos of outdoor adventures.
C.His collection of “living treasures”. D.His discovery of a new type of crab.
25．What inspired Zhang's interest in exploring nature
A.His father's job. B.A crab he once caught.
C.His school's field trips. D.His childhood experiences.
26．Where does Zhang put the microscope bought by his father
A.In Zhang's lab at school. B.In Zhang's bedroom.
C.In Zhang's study. D.In Zhang's classroom.
27．Which of the following best describes Zhang
A.Ambitious and energetic. B.Curious and dedicated.
C.Outgoing and adventurous. D.Knowledgeable and modest.
What is life Like most great questions, this one is easy to ask but difficult to answer. The reason is simple: we know of just one type of life and it's challenging to do science with a sample size of one. The field of artificial life—called ALife for short—is the systematic attempt to spell out life's fundamental principles. Many of these practitioners, so-called ALifers, think that somehow making life is the surest way to really understand what life is.
So far no one has convincingly made artificial life. This track record makes ALife a ripe target for criticism, such as declarations of the field's doubtful scientific value. Alan Smith, a complexity scientist, is tired of such complaints. Asking about "the point" of ALife might be, well, missing the point entirely, he says. "The existence of a living system is not about the use of anything, "Alan says. "Some people ask me, 'So what's the worth of artificial life 'Do you ever think, 'What is the worth of your grandmother ' "
As much as many ALifers hate emphasizing their research's applications, the attempts to create artificial life could have practical payoffs. Artificial intelligence may be considered ALife's cousin in that researchers in both fields are enamored by a concept called open-ended evolution (演化) . This is the capacity for a system to create essentially endless complexity, to be a sort of "novelty generator". The only system known to exhibit this is Earth's biosphere. If the field of ALife manages to reproduce life's endless "creativity" in some virtual model, those same principles could give rise to truly inventive machines.
Compared with the developments of AI, advances in ALife are harder to recognize. One reason is that ALife is a field in which the central concept—life itself—is undefined. The lack of agreement among ALifers doesn't help either. The result is a diverse line of projects that each advance along their unique paths. For better or worse, ALife mirrors the very subject it studies. Its muddled (混乱的) progression is a striking parallel (平行线) to the evolutionary struggles that have shaped Earth biosphere.
Undefined and uncontrolled, ALife drives its followers to repurpose old ideas and generated novelty. It may be, of course, that these characteristics aren't in any way surprising or singular. They may apply universally to all acts of evolution. Ultimately ALife may be nothing special. But even this dismissal suggests something: perhaps, just like life itself throughout the universe, the rise of ALife will prove unavoidable.
28．Regarding Alan Smith's defence of ALife, the author is _____.
A.supportive B.puzzled C.unconcerned D.doubtful
29．What does the word "enamored" underlined in paragraph 3 most probably mean
A.Shocked. B.Protected. C.Attracted. D.Challenged.
30．What can we learn from this passage
A.ALife holds the key to human future.
B.ALife and AI share a common feature.
C.Al mirrors the developments of ALife.
D.AI speeds up the process of human evolution.
31．Which would be the best title for the passage
A.Life Is Undefined.Can AI Be a Way Out
B.Life Evolves.Can AI Help ALife Evolve, Too
C.Life Is Undefined.Can ALife Be Defined One Day
D.Life Evolves.Can Attempts to Create ALife Evolve, Too
After years of severe drought combined with climate change, the water level in Lake Powell, the second largest reservoir (水库) on the Colorado River, has dropped to just 24% of capacity. It is continuing to decline to levels not seen since the reservoir was first filled in the 1960s.
In an effort to improve the shrinking reservoir, the federal government announced that it will hold back a large quantity of water this year to reduce risks of the lake falling below a point at which Glen Canyon Dam would no longer generate electricity.
"Today's decision reflects the truly unexpected challenges facing the Colorado River Basin and will provide operational certainty for communities and businesses that rely on the Colorado River, "Tanya Trujillo, the federal Interior Department's assistant secretary for water and science, said in a statement announcing the measures.
It is the first time the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has called its authority to change its operations in this way at Glen Canyon Dam on the Arizona-Utah border. The agency said the plan is intended to protect infrastructure at the dam and its ability to generate hydropower (水力发电) . It will ensure that water supplies continue to be available for the nearby city of Page, Arizona, and the Navajo Nation.
The plan is supposed to reduce the risks of Lake Powell falling to extremely low levels. The measures will include releasing about 500,000 acre-feet of water from Flaming Gorge Reservoir, which is located upstream, and leaving an additional 480,000 acre-feet in Lake Powell by reducing the volume of water released from Glen Canyon Dam.
"What's needed now, urgently, is for federal and state water managers to work in partnership with other related parties, to take the steps necessary to build confidence in the long-lasting management of the Colorado River, "Pitt said. "This will require intensive and dedicated resources to develop and implement (执行) plans that put water demands into balance with supplies. "
32．What effect would the shrinking of Lake Powell bring
A.A water shortage across America. B.Reduced electricity generation.
C.A decline in tourism in the region. D.Increased extreme natural disasters.
33．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A.The purpose of the government's plan.
B.The way to protect infrastructure at the dam.
C.The importance of ensuring water volume in the city.
D.The difficulties of controlling the water level of the lake.
34．How will the government stop Lake Powell falling to extremely low levels
A.By restricting the generation of hydropower.
B.By releasing water to Flaming Gorge Reservoir.
C.By broadening sources of income and reducing output.
D.By building additional dams to increase the storage capacity.
35．What does the passage focus on
A.The need for sustainable water management.
B.The impact of climate change on water sources.
C.The effort to address the water crisis in Lake Powell.
D.The imbalance between water demands and supplies.

七、读后续写
54．阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Being the youngest in my family has had its advantages, of course. But being the youngest also came with its fair share of troubles. I was often told what I couldn't do and why. I knew that my family loved me. They always tried to protect me, help me and take care of me, but I couldn't wait to show them I could do things by myself.
It was a hot day in Florida. The school year had just ended and it was time for summer vacation. We had just gotten a little black dog who we named One-Eyed.
Everybody wanted to do something for the dog: feed him, teach him tricks and take long walks with him. Everybody was so happy to have this little active, playful new addition to our family. I was so desperate to pet One-Eyed myself, too. Every time I asked my brother or my sister if I could do that, they would shout, “No! ”or tell me that I had germs (细菌) . Once, they even convinced me that I had so many germs and that if I touched One-Eyed he would die! I really believed them and was scared that something terrible would happen to the dog. Once I even confessed to my mom that I touched the dog when no one noticed. At first, my mom seemed very confused about what I was telling her, but then she realized that they were playing a joke on me to keep me away from the dog. My mom scolded my brother and sister, "You better stop teasing your little brother! "Little brother! That's exactly what I was. That really got my blood boiling. The frustration built up inside me as I watched them enjoy their time with One-Eyed, excluding me from the joyous moments. I knew I was capable of taking care of myself and forming my own connection with our new furry friend. Determination filled my heart, fueling a newfound sense of independence.
I took one look at the dog and decided, I was going to prove to everyone that I could pet and play with One-Eyed.

Seeing this, my brother and sister couldn't believe their eyes.

15．答案：A
16．答案：C
17．答案：B
解析：IF is an eating pattern which involves switching between periods of eating and not eating. It has become a popular trend in recent years as it's an easy way not only to lose or maintain weight but to improve health in general. Studies suggest IF can improve heart health, control blood sugar and perhaps even reduce the rate of brain aging. There are various methods to practice IF. One common approach is the 5 2 method. It means people eat normally five days a week, and take within 500 calories on the other two days. Another popular method is the 16/8 method. It means don't eat anything for 16 hours in every 24 hours, which includes sleep time. And only eat within an eight-hour "window". During the 16 hours, you can consume calorie-free drinks including water, coffee and tea-no milk. Early problems can involve hunger and mood changes, but most people find their bodies soon adjust to their new eating pattern and find it easier to keep up with than other diet plans. This is usually because of IF's simplicity. It doesn't require complicated calorie counting or avoiding certain types of food. Most doctors believe IF is safe for most healthy adults if it is done sensibly. However, it is not appropriate for everyone, and should be avoided by expecting mothers, individuals with certain medical conditions, and those who are very underweight.

28．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的"As much as many ALifers hate emphasizing their rescarch's applications, the attempts to create artificial life could have practical payoffs.(尽管许多ALifers 讨厌强调他们研究的应用,但创 造人工生命的尝试可能会有实际的回报。) "可知,作者认为创造人工生命的尝试是会有回报的;再结合第二段"So far no one has convincingly made artificial life. This track record makes ALife a ripe target for criticism, such as declarations of the field's doubtful scientific value. Alan Smith, a complexity scientist, is tired of such complaints. Asking about ‘the point’ of ALife might be, well, missing the point entirely, he says. ‘The existence of a living system is not about the use of anything.’ Alan says. ‘Some people ask me, "So what's the worth of artificial life " Do you ever think, "What is the worth of your grandmother " ’ (到目前为止,还没有人能令人信服地制造出人工 生命。这一记录使生命科学成为批评的成熟目标,比如对该领域可疑的科学价值的声明。复杂性科学家艾伦 史 密斯厌倦了这样的抱怨。他说,询间ALife的“意义’可能完全没有抓住要点。‘一个生命系统的存在与任何东西 的使用无关。’艾伦说。‘有人问我,“那么人工生命的价值是什么 ”你有没有想过,“你祖母的价值是什么 ” ’)”可 推知,因为还没有人能令人信服地制造出人工生命,才导致使生命科学成为批评(认为其没有科学价值)的成熟目 标,作者认为这是不合理的.所以下文引用了艾伦 史密斯的话语对这种观点进行反驳,即关于艾伦 史密斯对 ALife的辩护,作者表示支持。故选A。
29．答案：C
解析：词句猜测题。根据画线词上文"Artificial intelligence may be considered ALife's cousin in that researchers in both fields are enamored by a concept called open-ended evolution(演化).(人工智能可能被认为是ALife的表亲， 因为这两个领域的研究人员都被一个叫做开放进化的概念enamored。)"可知，人工智能可能被认为是ALife的表 亲,说明人工智能和ALife二者间有共同之处,可推测是因为这两个领域的研究人员都被一个叫做“开放进化”的 概念所吸引,所以才有了这种观点。故画线词意为“吸引”。故选C。
30．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Artificial intelligence may be considered ALife's cousin in that researchers in both fields are enamored by a concept called open-ended evolution(演化).”可知,ALife 和AI有一个共同的特点。 故选B。
31．答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“They may apply universally to all acts of evolution. Ultimately ALife may be nothing special. But even this dismissal suggests something; perhaps, just like life itself throughout the universe, the rise of ALife will prove unavoidable.(它们可能普遍适用于所有进化行为。最终,ALife可能没有什 么特别的。但即使是这种否定也表明了一些事情:也许.就像整个宇宙中的生命本身一样,ALife的崛起将被证明 是不可避免的。)”,并结合文章主要探讨了ALife是否也在不断地进化。D选项“生命在进化。创造ALife的尝试 也能进化吗 ”是最合适的标题。故选D。
32．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的"the federal government announced...would no longer generate electricity"可知， 联邦政府宣布将在今年留存大量水源,以减少湖泊下降的风险,避免格伦峡谷大坝停止发电。由此可知,水位下降 到一定程度将会影响格伦峡谷大坝的发电。故选B项。
33．答案：A
解析：段落大意题。根据第四段内容可知,这是美国垦务局首次在亚利桑那州和犹他州边界上的格伦峡谷大坝行使 其调整运营的权力。该计划旨在保护大坝的基础设施及其水力发电能力,并确保附近的亚利桑那州佩吉市和纳瓦霍族部分地区的持续供水。由此可知,该段主要介绍了该计划的目的。故选A项。
34．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知.该计划旨在降低鲍威尔湖水位降至极低水平的风险。这些措施将包括:从 位于上游的火焰峡谷水库释放约50万英亩英尺的水,并通过减少今年格伦峡谷大坝的放水量,在鲍威尔湖额外留 下48万英亩英尺的水。由此可推知,开源节流是阻止鲍威尔湖水位降至极低水平的办法。故选C项。
35．答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了由于多年的严重干旱和气候变化，美国科罗拉多河上的第二大水库鲍威尔湖的 水位已严重下降,政府正在采取措施解决这一问题。C项能够概括文章主要内容,故选C项。

解析：①根据文章第一句话"One of the primary goals of cognitive behavioral therapy(疗法）is finding effective ways to channel your anxiety into productive action. "可知，认知行为疗法治疗焦虑的主要目标之一是找到有效的方法，将焦虑转化为有成效的行动。再结合下文几段的首句可知，下文主要介绍了具体的策略。F项承上启下，符合语境。故选F。
②根据上文"Take notice of your anxious thoughts and worries. What are you most concerned about "可推测，本空应是对worries的提问，分析各选项可知，B 项符合语境，且B项中的fears与下文的these fears相呼应。故选B。
③由上文"Think of your resilience to anxiety as a muscle. "中的muscle可迅速找到D项，下文中的"Rather than avoiding those situations that cause anxiety, gradually expose yourself to them more often."指出与其避开那些导致焦虑的情况，不如逐渐让自己更频繁地接触它们，由此可知，D项符合语境。故选D。
④本空位于段首，应概括本段的主要内容，并且结构应与其他段落首句的结构相同。由下文中"Exercise is a great activity to make use of this spare energy. Exercise offers a host of benefits like …. is its ability to neutralize anxiety and improve your mood."可知，本段讲的是锻炼可以缓解人们焦虑并缓和人们的情绪。故选C。
⑤由本段首句可知，本段内容与reality testing有关。根据上文"You don't have to become a slave to your anxious thoughts... "及下文"Reality testing involves assessing a situation for errors in thinking."可知，空处应当是建议进行测试。故选A。

54．答案：
I took one look at the dog and decided, I was going to prove to everyone that I could pet and play with One-Eyed. Determined, I approached One-Eyed slowly, extending my hand towards him. As I got closer, the dog wagged his tail and looked up at me, as if he knew I was about to do something brave. Taking a deep breath, I gently placed my hand on his furry head. The moment our skin touched, I felt an incredible rush of joy and excitement. One-Eyed didn't seem bothered at all；in fact, he seemed to enjoy the attention. It was as if a bond had instantly formed between us.
Seeing this, my brother and sister couldn't believe their eyes. Their jaws dropped in astonishment. "You did it!" my sister exclaimed, her voice filled with awe. My brother, still in disbelief, stammered, "But...but we told you all those things！"I smiled triumphantly, realizing that I had proven them wrong. "You see, "I said confidently, "I am capable of doing things on my own. And just because I'm the youngest doesn't mean I can't take care of myself and be responsible." Being the youngest had its challenges, but it also shaped me into the resilient, determined person I am today. And I will forever be grateful to One-Eyed for showing me that age and size don't define one's abilities.
