On October 20th comes “Killers of the Flower Moon” from the director Martin Scorsese. At nearly three and a half hours, its length is nearly double that of the average film last year. Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long. During the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, some viewers dozed off. Afterwards there was a mad dash (and long queue) for the toilets. When did watching a film become such a labor
Film-makers started producing long-lasting movies at a rapid pace in the early 1960s. Cinema was booming and filmmakers wanted to distinguish their art from television. Epics surpassing the three-and-a-half hour mark graced the silver screen. Back then, audiences enjoyed an interval while the projectionist prepared the reels for the next act. Runtimes of popular films experienced ups and downs over subsequent decades. But they have ballooned since 2018.
Movie series is one driver of this trend. Studios want to squeeze the most out of their costly intellectual property, but they are competing with streaming platforms for eyeballs. The hope is that a spectacular, drawn-out blockbuster (大片) will tempt audiences away from the small screen and into cinemas. This approach has often paid off: “Avengers: Endgame” (2019), which showcased Marvel superheroes remarkably with a runtime of three hours, achieved the highest box office revenue among all films in that year.
......
1.What can we learn from paragraph 1
A.Movie fans tend to have a dislike for long movies.
B.Movie theaters should provide adequate restrooms.
C.The average movie fan cannot focus for over three hours.
D.Long movies affect audience engagement and physical comfort.
2.Why does the author mention the movie “Avengers: Endgame”
A.To demonstrate the trend of longer movies.
B.To highlight the success of Marvel series.
C.To illustrate the strong appeal of movie series.
D.To emphasize the studio-streaming platform contest.
【答案】1.D 2.C
【解析】
1.推理判断题。根据第一段“On October 20th comes “Killers of the Flower Moon” from the director Martin Scorsese. At nearly three and a half hours, its length is nearly double that of the average film last year. Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long. During the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, some viewers dozed off. Afterwards there was a mad dash (and long queue) for the toilets. When did watching a film become such a labor (10月20日将上映马丁·斯科塞斯导演的《花月杀手》。该片时长近三个半小时,几乎是去年平均时长的两倍。即使是影迷也很难长时间集中注意力。在5月份戛纳电影节首映期间,一些观众打起了瞌睡。之后,人们疯狂地冲进厕所(排起了长队)。什么时候看电影变成了一种劳动?)”可推知,长电影影响观众的参与度和身体舒适度。故选D。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段“Movie series is one driver of this trend. (电影系列是这一趋势的驱动力之一)”以及“The hope is that a spectacular, drawn-out blockbuster (大片) will tempt audiences away from the small screen and into cinemas.

For many plant owners, though, the science is beside the point. Marquis Matson, co-founder of the blog the Indoor Nursery, says she talks to her plants every day because “it feels nice and I think plants get a sense of community from my talking to them and that keeps them going”. On the plant side, a study in a 2003 issue of the journal Ultrasonics investigated the effects of the classical music and the sounds of birds, insects and water on the growth of Chinese cabbage and cucumber. Both forms of sound exposure increased the vegetables’ growth. In a 2015 study, researchers exposed marigold (金盏花) and chickpea (鹰嘴豆) plants to light Indian music as well as to traffic noise. They found that both types of plants grew and developed better after being exposed to the music for four hours per day, but not to the traffic sounds. “Plants definitely respond to vibrations in their environment—which can cause plants to grow differently and become more resistant to falling over,” says Heidi Appel, leader of the study. She points out, “While sound absolutely matters to plants, we don’t know if talking to them makes them grow differently.”
Despite the lack of studies and evidence about the benefits of talking to your plants, there is at least one theoretical bonus, “If we identify with a living organism that we’re taking care of, we’re going to take better care of it and help them thrive,” Appel says.
7.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A.Traffic sounds probably have a negative influence on plant growth.
B.Talking to plants can make them more sensitive to the environment.
C.Plants do not fall over because of the vibrations in their environment.
D.Classical music is beneficial to plant growth as sounds of nature do.
8.What is Appel’s attitude towards the study
A.Approving. B.Neutral. C.Unfavorable. D.Unclear.
【答案】 7.D 8.A
【解析】
7.推理判断题。根据第三段中“On the plant side, a study in a 2003 issue of the journal Ultrasonics investigated the effects of the classical music and the sounds of birds, insects and water on the growth of Chinese cabbage and cucumber.

8.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite the lack of studies and evidence about the benefits of talking to your plants, there is at least one theoretical bonus, ‘If we identify with a living organism that we’re taking care of, we’re going to take better care of it and help them thrive,’ Appel says.(尽管跟植物聊天的好处缺乏研究和证据,但至少有一个理论上的好处, Appel说:‘如果我们与自己照料的植物产生共鸣,那我们会更好地照料它们,帮助它们茁壮成长。’)”可知,Appel对研究持赞成态度。故选A项。

Putting cash in the hands of mothers can help shape the brains of their babies, according to a study in the United States.
Family income has been linked to child development numerous times in the past in observational studies, but this is the first time researchers have found direct experimental evidence of how poverty drives such changes.
The findings come from an ongoing study known as Baby’s First Year, which is attempting to assess how poverty reduction can impact the cognitive and emotional growth of very young children. “We have known for many years that growing up in poverty puts children at risk for lower school achievement, reduced earnings, and poorer health,” explains neuroscientist Kimberly Noble from Columbia University. “However, until now, we haven’t been able to say whether poverty itself causes differences in child development, or whether growing up in poverty is simply associated with other factors that cause those differences.”
A thousand low-income mothers in the US were recruited (招募) for the study shortly after their babies were born. These parents, who came from either New York City, New Orleans, Omaha or Minneapolis/St. Paul, were then randomly offered either $333 a month in unconditional cash payments or $20 a month in unconditional cash payments for the first four years of their baby's life—no strings attached.
The data show that giving low-income mothers financial support can directly change infant brain activity in the first year of life. Infants (婴儿) whose mothers had received the higher cash payments, for instance, had higher frequency brain activity than those infants whose mothers had received less.
Further research is needed to see whether these changes in brain activity last or whether they translate to improved cognitive development, but there’s good reason to suspect they might.
10.What’s the purpose of the current study
A.To find other factors that impact young children.
B.To find if poverty has negative effects on child development.
C.To prove if relieving poverty contributes to child brain development.
D.To prove family income has nothing to do with child development.
11.What can you infer from paragraph 4
A.The cash was offered without conscious decision.
B.The study gave away money to low-income mothers.
C.Thousands of low-income mothers were involved in the study.
D.Low-income mothers received cash payments for four years.
12.What is the passage probably going to talk about next
A.Why further research is needed.
B.Studies contrary to the current findings.
C.Whether these changes in brain activity last.
D.Other similar studies that support the current findings.
【答案】 10.C 11.A 12.C
【解析】
10.推理判断题。根据第一段“Putting cash in the hands of mothers can help shape the brains of their babies, according to a study in the United States. (美国的一项研究发现,母亲手里有钱有助于宝宝大脑的发育)”及第三段“The findings come from an ongoing study known as Baby’s First Year, which is attempting to assess how poverty reduction can impact the cognitive and emotional growth of very young children. (研究结果来自一项名为“婴儿的第一年”的持续研究,该研究试图评估减贫如何影响幼儿的认知和情感成长)”可知,最新的研究的目的是:评估减轻贫困如何影响幼儿的认知和情感成长,证明减轻贫困是否有助于儿童大脑发育。故选C。
11.推理判断题。根据第四段“A thousand low-income mothers in the US were recruited (招募) for the study shortly after their babies were born. These parents, who came from either New York City, New Orleans, Omaha or Minneapolis/St. Paul, were then randomly offered either $333 a month in unconditional cash payments or $20 a month in unconditional cash payments for the first four years of their baby’s life—no strings attached. (美国有一千名低收入母亲在孩子出生后不久就被招募进行这项研究。研究人员给这些来自纽约市、新奥尔良市、奥马哈市或明尼阿波利斯/圣保罗市的母亲在宝宝出生后的前四年随机每月拨款333美元或20美元现金,用于支付,没有任何附加条件)”可知,在宝宝出生后的前四年,研究人员随机为1000位低收入的新手母亲拨款,这笔钱是在不刻意的、随机决定的情况下提供的。A项“The cash was offered without conscious decision. (现金是在没有经过慎重决策的情况下提供的)”与原文“were then randomly offered (随机提供)”相符,故选A。
12.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Further research is needed to see whether these changes in brain activity last or whether they translate to improved cognitive development, but there’s good reason to suspect they might. (需要进一步的研究来观察大脑活动的这些变化是否持续存在,或者它们是否转化为认知发展的改善,但有充分的理由怀疑它们可能会如此)”可知,文章接下来会谈论大脑活动的这些变化是否持续存在,故选C。

“I have travelled the world for 25 years in search of trouble,” admits Dr David Nott in his recent autobiography, War Doctor: Surgery on the Front Line. “It is a kind of addiction, a pull I find hard to resist.” This pull has seen him use his surgical skills to help those in need by taking unpaid, month-long breaks from his “day job” as an NHS surgeon in the UK every year to work in conflict zones and disaster areas.
He first worked in Sarajevo in 1993 as a volunteer with the French charity Médecins Sans Froatières. The hospital be worked in had so many holes in its walls caused by bombing and sniper (狙击手) fire that it was called the “Swiss Cheese Hospital”. It was his first insight into the terrifying reality of treating patients in a war zone. The hospital suffered power cuts during operations and he and his team were regularly shot at.
But Nott found this exhilarating. “Going to Sarajevo, almost getting killed, I had never felt so wonderful. I really felt as though somebody bad injected me with something. I felt fantastic. I think to skirt death — and then to realize how close you are to death and that you survived it — is exciting. And that’s the experience I’ve had many times over.”
This attitude may seem reckless (鲁莽的), but it means that Nott has saved lives in desperate situations. In Gaza in 2014, he decided not to abandon a young girl in the middle of surgery despite being told that the hospital was about to be bombed. He carried on, no bombs fell and the girl survived. He has kept a photograph of them taken together three days later. In Yemen, he operated on the wife of a bomb-maker who had accidentally blown up his own house. Nott found a detonator (雷管) buried in her leg and bad to carefully dispose of it before continuing the operation.
Which of the following words can best describe Dr. David Nott
A.Modest and courageous. B.Generous and strict.
C.Careless and aggressive. D.Adventurous and selfless.
【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I think to skirt death — and then to realize how close you are to death and that you survived it — is exciting. And that’s the experience I’ve had many times over.( 我认为避免死亡——然后意识到你离死亡有多近,并且你活了下来——是令人兴奋的。这就是我多次经历过的事情)”可推知,大卫医生是富有冒险精神的;根据文章最后一段“In Gaza in 2014, he decided not to abandon a young girl in the middle of surgery despite being told that the hospital was about to be bombed. He carried on, no bombs fell and the girl survived.(2014年,在加沙,尽管被告知医院即将被炸毁,他还是决定不抛弃正在接受手术的一个年轻女孩。他继续进行手术,没有炸弹落下,女孩也活了下来)”和“In Yemen, he operated on the wife of a bomb-maker who had accidentally blown up his own house. Nott found a detonator (雷管) buried in her leg and bad to carefully dispose of it before continuing the operation.(在也门,他为一名炸弹制造者的妻子做手术,他意外炸毁了自己的房子。诺特发现一枚雷管埋在她的腿里,在继续手术之前,他必须小心处理)”可推知,大卫医生是无私的。故选D。

Anna Steed doesn’t look much older than her students, but she is a practitioner of behavioral and motivational science, a shoulder to cry on, and the high school debate coach. Her class, which began as an elective class to give students exposure to skills that prepare them for college, has become the class on campus that creates winners.
Speech and debate test the teenage character perhaps more than any other activity. The shy and the unsure often have no desire to look up from their screens and engage in the oldest human interaction: persuasive oral arguments. It’s dreadful territory for the average teenager. Research, writing, delivering a speech in front of your peers --it all sounds like the kind of class students would be most likely to skip. But Anna draws them in.

Today’s Brussels sprouts (孢子甘蓝) taste better than you might remember from childhood, and that is because a new variety has replaced the original vegetable. You can thank plant breeders for the change. Modern breeders, armed with new gene-editing technology, are looking to reproduce Brussels sprouts’ reinvention.
In the late 1990s, scientists discovered specific chemicals which made Brussels sprouts taste bitter. Plant breeders started growing old seeds, previously abandoned due to poor yields (产量), to look for tastier versions with lower levels of these specific chemicals. Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish.
But other vegetables haven’t fared as well. That’s because most breeding decisions favor plant traits (特性) that matter to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters. For instance, disease resistance is probably the major focus these days of most breeding programs because that prevents the farmer from growing the crop. The taste of vegetables is ignored.
People, however, are now becoming interested in prioritizing the taste of vegetables thanks in part to new genetic technology. “There’s never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques,” says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University.
......
What can we learn from Susan Brown’s words in paragraph 4
A.The breeding techniques are booming.
B.The breeding techniques need no improvement.
C.The breeders are struggling to develop new species.
D.The breeders should develop new genetic technology.
【答案】A

Another very promising technique is called “cloud brightening”, according to Chris Sacca, a US climate expert. This method involves sending sea salt particles into clouds above the sea, making them whiter and thus they reflect more sunlight back into space.
In June, the US government announced in a report that it was offering support for solar engineering research as a way to slow the rise of global temperatures. According to the report, the US government believes that the technology “offers the possibility of cooling the planet significantly in a few years”.
However, following the report, an open letter by more than 60 scientists called for caution and more research first. Kristen Rasmussen, a climate scientist at Colorado State University, US, has been studying how these sun-blocking methods will affect rainfall patterns. She said that apart from rainfall, ecosystems and even human communities would also be affected. “We need to be very cautious on this,” Rasmussen told Scientific American.
What is the US government’s attitude toward sun-blocking technology
A.Favorable. B.Pessimistic. C.Objective. D.Dismissive.

On October 20th comes “Killers of the Flower Moon” from the director Martin Scorsese. At nearly three and a half hours, its length is nearly double that of the average film last year. Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long. During the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, some viewers dozed off. Afterwards there was a mad dash (and long queue) for the toilets. When did watching a film become such a labor
Film-makers started producing long-lasting movies at a rapid pace in the early 1960s. Cinema was booming and filmmakers wanted to distinguish their art from television. Epics surpassing the three-and-a-half hour mark graced the silver screen. Back then, audiences enjoyed an interval while the projectionist prepared the reels for the next act. Runtimes of popular films experienced ups and downs over subsequent decades. But they have ballooned since 2018.
Movie series is one driver of this trend. Studios want to squeeze the most out of their costly intellectual property, but they are competing with streaming platforms for eyeballs. The hope is that a spectacular, drawn-out blockbuster (大片) will tempt audiences away from the small screen and into cinemas. This approach has often paid off: “Avengers: Endgame” (2019), which showcased Marvel superheroes remarkably with a runtime of three hours, achieved the highest box office revenue among all films in that year.
......
1.What can we learn from paragraph 1
A.Movie fans tend to have a dislike for long movies.
B.Movie theaters should provide adequate restrooms.
C.The average movie fan cannot focus for over three hours.
D.Long movies affect audience engagement and physical comfort.
2.Why does the author mention the movie “Avengers: Endgame”
A.To demonstrate the trend of longer movies.
B.To highlight the success of Marvel series.
C.To illustrate the strong appeal of movie series.
D.To emphasize the studio-streaming platform contest.

For many plant owners, though, the science is beside the point. Marquis Matson, co-founder of the blog the Indoor Nursery, says she talks to her plants every day because “it feels nice and I think plants get a sense of community from my talking to them and that keeps them going”. On the plant side, a study in a 2003 issue of the journal Ultrasonics investigated the effects of the classical music and the sounds of birds, insects and water on the growth of Chinese cabbage and cucumber. Both forms of sound exposure increased the vegetables’ growth. In a 2015 study, researchers exposed marigold (金盏花) and chickpea (鹰嘴豆) plants to light Indian music as well as to traffic noise. They found that both types of plants grew and developed better after being exposed to the music for four hours per day, but not to the traffic sounds. “Plants definitely respond to vibrations in their environment—which can cause plants to grow differently and become more resistant to falling over,” says Heidi Appel, leader of the study. She points out, “While sound absolutely matters to plants, we don’t know if talking to them makes them grow differently.”
Despite the lack of studies and evidence about the benefits of talking to your plants, there is at least one theoretical bonus, “If we identify with a living organism that we’re taking care of, we’re going to take better care of it and help them thrive,” Appel says.
7.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A.Traffic sounds probably have a negative influence on plant growth.
B.Talking to plants can make them more sensitive to the environment.
C.Plants do not fall over because of the vibrations in their environment.
D.Classical music is beneficial to plant growth as sounds of nature do.
8.What is Appel’s attitude towards the study
A.Approving. B.Neutral. C.Unfavorable. D.Unclear.

Putting cash in the hands of mothers can help shape the brains of their babies, according to a study in the United States.
Family income has been linked to child development numerous times in the past in observational studies, but this is the first time researchers have found direct experimental evidence of how poverty drives such changes.
The findings come from an ongoing study known as Baby’s First Year, which is attempting to assess how poverty reduction can impact the cognitive and emotional growth of very young children. “We have known for many years that growing up in poverty puts children at risk for lower school achievement, reduced earnings, and poorer health,” explains neuroscientist Kimberly Noble from Columbia University. “However, until now, we haven’t been able to say whether poverty itself causes differences in child development, or whether growing up in poverty is simply associated with other factors that cause those differences.”
A thousand low-income mothers in the US were recruited (招募) for the study shortly after their babies were born. These parents, who came from either New York City, New Orleans, Omaha or Minneapolis/St. Paul, were then randomly offered either $333 a month in unconditional cash payments or $20 a month in unconditional cash payments for the first four years of their baby's life—no strings attached.
The data show that giving low-income mothers financial support can directly change infant brain activity in the first year of life. Infants (婴儿) whose mothers had received the higher cash payments, for instance, had higher frequency brain activity than those infants whose mothers had received less.
Further research is needed to see whether these changes in brain activity last or whether they translate to improved cognitive development, but there’s good reason to suspect they might.
10.What’s the purpose of the current study
A.To find other factors that impact young children.
B.To find if poverty has negative effects on child development.
C.To prove if relieving poverty contributes to child brain development.
D.To prove family income has nothing to do with child development.
11.What can you infer from paragraph 4
A.The cash was offered without conscious decision.
B.The study gave away money to low-income mothers.
C.Thousands of low-income mothers were involved in the study.
D.Low-income mothers received cash payments for four years.
12.What is the passage probably going to talk about next
A.Why further research is needed.
B.Studies contrary to the current findings.
C.Whether these changes in brain activity last.
D.Other similar studies that support the current findings.

“I have travelled the world for 25 years in search of trouble,” admits Dr David Nott in his recent autobiography, War Doctor: Surgery on the Front Line. “It is a kind of addiction, a pull I find hard to resist.” This pull has seen him use his surgical skills to help those in need by taking unpaid, month-long breaks from his “day job” as an NHS surgeon in the UK every year to work in conflict zones and disaster areas.
He first worked in Sarajevo in 1993 as a volunteer with the French charity Médecins Sans Froatières. The hospital be worked in had so many holes in its walls caused by bombing and sniper (狙击手) fire that it was called the “Swiss Cheese Hospital”. It was his first insight into the terrifying reality of treating patients in a war zone. The hospital suffered power cuts during operations and he and his team were regularly shot at.
But Nott found this exhilarating. “Going to Sarajevo, almost getting killed, I had never felt so wonderful. I really felt as though somebody bad injected me with something. I felt fantastic. I think to skirt death — and then to realize how close you are to death and that you survived it — is exciting. And that’s the experience I’ve had many times over.”
This attitude may seem reckless (鲁莽的), but it means that Nott has saved lives in desperate situations. In Gaza in 2014, he decided not to abandon a young girl in the middle of surgery despite being told that the hospital was about to be bombed. He carried on, no bombs fell and the girl survived. He has kept a photograph of them taken together three days later. In Yemen, he operated on the wife of a bomb-maker who had accidentally blown up his own house. Nott found a detonator (雷管) buried in her leg and bad to carefully dispose of it before continuing the operation.
Which of the following words can best describe Dr. David Nott
A.Modest and courageous. B.Generous and strict.
C.Careless and aggressive. D.Adventurous and selfless.
