The Best Bars and Cafes in Amsterdam
Hoppe
A reproduction Old Master on the wall, fine sand on the wooden floor, barrels (桶) behind the bar—Hoppe is every inch a traditional “brown cafe”. Hoppe has been going strong since 1670—the right-hand part, the “Standing Room”, is the oldest. Hoppe becomes unbearably packed with after-work drinkers in suits in the early evening, which is unsuitable for relaxation.

De Jaren
White walls, light woods, high ceilings and minimalist design combine with huge windows overlooking the Amstel River. De Jaren is a long-standing networking venue for those who are working on the media. It’s also great for resting on a rainy afternoon, in a basket chair or at the long reading table. There’s a good range of sandwiches and salads, as well as affordable fuller meals, throughout the day.
Contact: cafedejaren. nl
Canal Belt
Still going strong since the heady 1970s, when it was at the heart of European counterculture, the “Milky Way” is a cutting-edge music and performance venue, and hosts wild weekend club nights. The original old dairy building has been expanded with flash new extensions to include a cinema, art gallery and cafe, hosting everything from Dutch pop via rock and hip hop to contemporary dance. Booking ahead is recommended for some events—there may be a pre-booking surcharge.

Cafe Van Zuylen
It’s a down-to-earth “brown cafe”. One room, especially in the evenings, is cheerfully noisy, and crowded shoulder-to-shoulder. In good weather, tables and basket chairs are spread out on a huge balcony, which stretches across a bridge over the Singel Canal—an ideal spot to bathe in the sun for a while.

Richard Feynman was arguably the second best known physicist after Einstein. But she is not the only distinguished scientist in the Feynman family.
Born in 1927, Joan Feynman grew up in Queens, New York, alongside her older brother Richard. He would become Joan’s first teacher and someone who helped develop her curious nature, believing her capable of learning all the math and science he could teach her. She would try to solve math problems for the unique reward of getting to pull her brother’s hair and serving as his “lab assistant” at the age of five. For her fourteenth birthday, Richard gave Feynman a copy of Astronomy by Rebecca Horace Baker, a college-level physics text, which both taught her about physics and what was possible. Feynman credited it for proving to her that women could indeed have a career doing science.
Feynman would go on to receive a bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College, before she attended Syracuse University, studying condensed matter theory and earning a PhD in 1958. By 1960, Feynman was married with two children and she decided to take a break from physics to take on the role of homemaker.
The break was short-lived, as Feynman grew depressed from keeping a home and caring for two small children. In 1962, at the advice of a psychologist, she went in search of employment, securing three job offers at multiple institutes. At Lamont, where she worked part-time, Feynman began her research into Earth’s magnetosphere, identifying its shape.
Over the course of her career, Feynman made many breakthroughs in furthering the understanding of solar wind and its interaction with the Earth’s magnetosphere. As author or co-author of more than 185 papers, Feynman’s research accomplishments range from discovering the shape of the Earth’s magnetosphere to identifying the origin of auroras. In 1974, she would become the first woman ever elected as an officer of the American Geophysical Union, and in 2000 she was awarded NASA’s Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal.
“Joan Feynman leaves a wealth of scientific accomplishments, having made important contributions,” said APS CEO Kate Kirby. “Despite being discouraged to pursue science by social expectations, she persevered, and her accomplishments serve as an inspiration to women who wish to pursue a career in science.”
24.How did Richard influence Joan
A.By preparing her for subjects in college.
B.By introducing her to the world of science.
C.By teaching her the importance of astronomy.
D.By offering her a job serving as his lab assistant.
25.What can be inferred from the passage
A.All women scientists have benefited from Joan’s inspiration.
B.In Joan’s time women were encouraged to become scientists.
C.Pursuing scientific goals contributed to Joan’s psychological well-being.
D.As her first teacher, Richard designed Joan’s career path as an astronomer.
26.Which best describes Joan Feynman as a scientist
A.Successful and wealthy. B.Optimistic and hardworking.
C.Popular and ambitious. D.Productive and acknowledged.
27.What is the best title for the passage
A.Joan Feynman: Survivor of Depression
B.Joan Feynman: Sister of Richard Feynman
C.Joan Feynman: The Lesser-known Feynman
D.Joan Feynman: The Most Successful Woman Scientist
C
“Anxiety.” The very word invites discomfort. Its effects—shortness of breath, pounding heart, muscle tension—are outright upsetting. But, as a clinician, I find that we tend to miss out on many valuable opportunities presented by this human emotion. In and of itself, anxiety is not deadly, nor is it a disease. Quite the contrary: it is an indicator of brain and sensory health. Once we accept that it is a normal, though uncomfortable, part of life, we can use it to help us.
We all know working out at the gym is hard. By nature, a “good workout” is uncomfortable, since it involves pushing our physical strength past what we can easily do. The sweet spot of exercise is always a somewhat challenging experience. Similarly, if you want to be emotionally stronger, you need to face some tension. For example, one effective treatment for fear is exposure therapy (疗法), which involves gradually encountering things that make one anxious, reducing fear over time.
Humans are social creatures. When my patients learn to open up to their partners about their anxieties, they almost always report a greater sense of emotional closeness. Also, as international relationship expert Sue Johnson teaches, when we express our need for connection during challenging moments (e.g., “I’m having a hard time right now and could really use your support”), it creates greater connection and turns our anxiety into love.
From time to time, we find ourselves at the end of our rope. Our responsibilities pile up, our resources break down, and we feel uncomfortably anxious—what we’re experiencing is called stress. Simply put, the demands placed upon us outweigh our available resources, just like a set of scales (天平) going out of balance. Focusing on work and pretending everything is OK only leads to disastrous results. Medical treatment for stress may function for a while, but it tends to make things worse in the long run. The only solution to deal with stress is to do the mathematics to balance the scales.
28.What does the author say about anxiety
A.It is an invitation to diseases.
B.It indicates stable mental health.
C.It costs us many valuable chances.
D.It is a natural emotional expression.
29.Why does the author mention “good workout” in paragraph 2
A.To prove how exercise influences emotions.
B.To suggest an effective way to challenge limits.
C.To explain how anxiety builds emotional strength.
D.To show a positive connection between mind and body.
30.What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A.The key to closeness is partners’ support.
B.Sharing anxieties improves relationships.
C.Humans are defined by their social nature.
D.Expressing feelings keeps us off anxieties.
31.According to the last paragraph, how can we deal with stress
A.Devote more energy to our work.
B.Increase resources available to us.
C.Seek professional medical treatment.
D.Master advanced mathematical skills.
D
Deforestatio——by clear-cutting or wildfires——has massive consequences both on climate and health. But leaving reforestation to Mother Nature can take decades, particularly as disastrous wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity. And the time, cost and labor involved makes traditional methods of tree planting not as practical as they once were.
Bryce Jones knows how hard it is to replant forests. For four months in 2013, he worked as a tree planter throughout Canada. “There’s no technology there,” he says. “The only way you can accomplish reforestation is through the air.” But it wasn’t until 2019 that he hit on the one that he thought had potential: use drones (无人机) to fire specially designed seed pods (荚) into the ground-at 10 times the normal temperature and costing 20percent less than traditional methods. He proposed the idea to his brother and Flash Forcer was born. His first goal was to plant a billion trees by 2025.
The team took out a loan, bought a drone and used 3D printers at Jones’s school to make casts of the pods. Now, only two and a half years later, the company has a group of drones with each able to carry several thousand pods per flight. Three operators work in a field, controlling five drones, whose flight take 15 to 20 minutes. Flash Forcer’s big draw is its seed pod, which contains everything seedlings (幼苗) need to survive survival. And its technology allows them to reach post-burn sites or remote areas that are difficult for traditional tree planting.
There are challenges every day, Jones says, as they work to improve the engineering, hardware, software and seed-pod recipes. Then there are the challenges presented by the climate——this year, record temperatures, record wildfires and drought. “That was something that was totally out of our control,” he says.
Unlike some traditional forms of reforestation, Flash Forcer is focused on biodiversity. For Jones, the target of planting a billion trees by 2025 is just the beginning. “I have a dream that the company will plant on six continents——everywhere where our technology is needed,” he says.
32.What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1
A.The benefits of reforestation.
B.The power of AI machines.
C.The way of putting out wildfires.
D.The necessity of using new planting methods.
33.What contributes to the particular appeal of Flash Forest
A.Its drone operators. B.The frequent flights.
C.Its seed pod. D.The low cost of seedlings.
34.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.Extreme weather. B.Drone technology.
C.3D equipment. D.Computer software.
35.What can we infer about Flash Forest from the last paragraph
A.It changed its focus in the past.
B.It will achieve its final target in 2025.
C.It might be available worldwide one day.
D.It has replaced traditional forms of reforestation.

When Valentine's Day was around the corner, Grandma came down with a terrible cold when she was travelling from Colorado to my family's house in California. She was too weak to go out at all, which was sad and disappointing. That was because Grandma and Grandpa had been planning to take my little sister Indi and me to the zoo for Valentine's Day. Grandma, as an animal lover, had been especially looking forward to it.
On Valentine's Day Indi begged Grandma to go to the zoo together. But Grandma jokingly explained that if she went there, she might spread her cold to other visitors, or even to the animals, making them all start sneezing.
In my mind, I imagined the sight that an elephant kept sneezing. Meanwhile I made my arm into a trunk and blurted out a funny trumpeting sound that ended in a gigantic sneeze. "Good one, Brother!" Indi laughed. "That elephant would need a huge box of tissues.”
Grandma was amused. But she insisted that she should stay at home and rest up. She wished us a pleasant visit and reminded us to send her regards to the monkeys in the zoo.
Well, we did go and we did have a great time but I kept wishing Grandma could have been there with us. When we reached the monkey mountain, Grandpa told us to hold still and say “cheese" and snapped a good picture of the monkeys and us.
“Cheese!” I said. But Indi said, “Happy Valentine's Day, Grandma!”
"You were supposed to say cheese." said Grandpa.
Indi shrugged, “It just came out.”
"I'm glad it did" I said, because your words just gave me a fantastic idea! What if we take pictures of different animals, and then turn them into a special Valentine gift for Grandma " Indi and Grandpa agreed and we kept taking pictures with delight for Grandma's surprise.

【答案】14.B 15.C 16.B 17.A
【原文】W: Hello everyone, I’m talking to Noah Kelly, who is a big fan of horse riding. Noah, why did you start horse riding
M: Well, as a small child I never had much interest in horses though I wasn’t scared of them. My older sister started horse-riding lessons. I used to see the look on her face when she came home—really cheerful—so that’s why I decided to try it.
W: Then do you think horse riding makes you fitter
M: Actually, I was always pretty fit because I liked walking. But being with horses so much has made me calmer —more willing to wait for things.
W: Do you take part in horse-riding competitions
M: Yeah. I thought they were just for people who own their horses, but you can borrow or even hire one easily enough. I went with a group of friends from the horse-riding club. There was so much to do though—both before and while we were there. I was exhausted afterwards.
W: Will you carry on riding when you’re older
M: Mm. I watch the little kids having their lessons at the club, and I wonder about teaching, but I’m not sure if it’s for me. What really attracts me is the idea of training horses. You know, the ones they use for races.
W: Thank you, Noah.

The Best Bars and Cafes in Amsterdam
Hoppe
A reproduction Old Master on the wall, fine sand on the wooden floor, barrels (桶) behind the bar—Hoppe is every inch a traditional “brown cafe”. Hoppe has been going strong since 1670—the right-hand part, the “Standing Room”, is the oldest. Hoppe becomes unbearably packed with after-work drinkers in suits in the early evening, which is unsuitable for relaxation.

De Jaren
White walls, light woods, high ceilings and minimalist design combine with huge windows overlooking the Amstel River. De Jaren is a long-standing networking venue for those who are working on the media. It’s also great for resting on a rainy afternoon, in a basket chair or at the long reading table. There’s a good range of sandwiches and salads, as well as affordable fuller meals, throughout the day.
Contact: cafedejaren. nl
Canal Belt
Still going strong since the heady 1970s, when it was at the heart of European counterculture, the “Milky Way” is a cutting-edge music and performance venue, and hosts wild weekend club nights. The original old dairy building has been expanded with flash new extensions to include a cinema, art gallery and cafe, hosting everything from Dutch pop via rock and hip hop to contemporary dance. Booking ahead is recommended for some events—there may be a pre-booking surcharge.

Cafe Van Zuylen
It’s a down-to-earth “brown cafe”. One room, especially in the evenings, is cheerfully noisy, and crowded shoulder-to-shoulder. In good weather, tables and basket chairs are spread out on a huge balcony, which stretches across a bridge over the Singel Canal—an ideal spot to bathe in the sun for a while.

Richard Feynman was arguably the second best known physicist after Einstein. But she is not the only distinguished scientist in the Feynman family.
Born in 1927, Joan Feynman grew up in Queens, New York, alongside her older brother Richard. He would become Joan’s first teacher and someone who helped develop her curious nature, believing her capable of learning all the math and science he could teach her. She would try to solve math problems for the unique reward of getting to pull her brother’s hair and serving as his “lab assistant” at the age of five. For her fourteenth birthday, Richard gave Feynman a copy of Astronomy by Rebecca Horace Baker, a college-level physics text, which both taught her about physics and what was possible. Feynman credited it for proving to her that women could indeed have a career doing science.
Feynman would go on to receive a bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College, before she attended Syracuse University, studying condensed matter theory and earning a PhD in 1958. By 1960, Feynman was married with two children and she decided to take a break from physics to take on the role of homemaker.
The break was short-lived, as Feynman grew depressed from keeping a home and caring for two small children. In 1962, at the advice of a psychologist, she went in search of employment, securing three job offers at multiple institutes. At Lamont, where she worked part-time, Feynman began her research into Earth’s magnetosphere, identifying its shape.
Over the course of her career, Feynman made many breakthroughs in furthering the understanding of solar wind and its interaction with the Earth’s magnetosphere. As author or co-author of more than 185 papers, Feynman’s research accomplishments range from discovering the shape of the Earth’s magnetosphere to identifying the origin of auroras. In 1974, she would become the first woman ever elected as an officer of the American Geophysical Union, and in 2000 she was awarded NASA’s Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal.
“Joan Feynman leaves a wealth of scientific accomplishments, having made important contributions,” said APS CEO Kate Kirby. “Despite being discouraged to pursue science by social expectations, she persevered, and her accomplishments serve as an inspiration to women who wish to pursue a career in science.”
24.How did Richard influence Joan
A.By preparing her for subjects in college.
B.By introducing her to the world of science.
C.By teaching her the importance of astronomy.
D.By offering her a job serving as his lab assistant.
25.What can be inferred from the passage
A.All women scientists have benefited from Joan’s inspiration.
B.In Joan’s time women were encouraged to become scientists.
C.Pursuing scientific goals contributed to Joan’s psychological well-being.
D.As her first teacher, Richard designed Joan’s career path as an astronomer.
26.Which best describes Joan Feynman as a scientist
A.Successful and wealthy. B.Optimistic and hardworking.
C.Popular and ambitious. D.Productive and acknowledged.
27.What is the best title for the passage
A.Joan Feynman: Survivor of Depression
B.Joan Feynman: Sister of Richard Feynman
C.Joan Feynman: The Lesser-known Feynman
D.Joan Feynman: The Most Successful Woman Scientist
【答案】24.B 25.C 26.D 27.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了理查德·费曼可以说是仅次于爱因斯坦的第二著名的物理学家。但她并不是费曼家族中唯一一位杰出的科学家。尽管社会期望阻碍了她从事科学研究,但她坚持了下来,她的成就激励了那些希望从事科学事业的女性。
24.推理判断题。根据第二段中“He would become Joan’s first teacher and someone who helped develop her curious nature, believing her capable of learning all the math and science he could teach her. She would try to solve math problems for the unique reward of getting to pull her brother’s hair and serving as his “lab assistant” at the age of five. For her fourteenth birthday, Richard gave Feynman a copy of Astronomy by Rebecca Horace Baker, a college-level physics text, which both taught her about physics and what was possible. Feynman credited it for proving to her that women could indeed have a career doing science.(他将成为琼的第一位老师,并帮助她培养好奇的天性,相信她有能力学习他所教的所有数学和科学。她会试图解决数学问题,以获得独特的奖励:在她五岁的时候拉她哥哥的头发,做他的“实验室助理”。在费曼14岁生日那天,理查德送给她一本丽贝卡·霍勒斯·贝克的《天文学》,这是一本大学水平的物理课本,既教会了她物理知识,也教会了她什么是可能的。费曼认为,这向她证明了女性确实可以从事科学事业)”可推知,理查德通过向琼介绍科学的世界来影响她的。故选B项。
25.推理判断题。根据第四段“The break was short-lived, as Feynman grew depressed from keeping a home and caring for two small children. In 1962, at the advice of a psychologist, she went in search of employment, securing three job offers at multiple institutes. At Lamont, where she worked part-time, Feynman began her research into Earth’s magnetosphere, identifying its shape.(这段休息很短暂,因为费曼因为照顾两个小孩而变得沮丧。1962年,在一位心理学家的建议下,她开始寻找工作,并在多家研究所获得了三份工作。在她兼职工作的拉蒙特,费曼开始了她对地球磁层的研究,确定了它的形状)”以及第五段中“Over the course of her career, Feynman made many breakthroughs in furthering the understanding of solar wind and its interaction with the Earth’s magnetosphere.(在她的职业生涯中,费曼在进一步了解太阳风及其与地球磁层的相互作用方面取得了许多突破)”可推知,追求科学目标有助于琼的心理健康。故选C项。
26.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Feynman would go on to receive a bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College, before she attended Syracuse University, studying condensed matter theory and earning a PhD in 1958.(费曼随后在奥伯林学院获得学士学位,之后她进入雪城大学学习凝聚态理论,并于1958年获得博士学位)”以及倒数第二段“Over the course of her career, Feynman made many breakthroughs in furthering the understanding of solar wind and its interaction with the Earth’s magnetosphere. As author or co-author of more than 185 papers, Feynman’s research accomplishments range from discovering the shape of the Earth’s magnetosphere to identifying the origin of auroras.

C
“Anxiety.” The very word invites discomfort. Its effects—shortness of breath, pounding heart, muscle tension—are outright upsetting. But, as a clinician, I find that we tend to miss out on many valuable opportunities presented by this human emotion. In and of itself, anxiety is not deadly, nor is it a disease. Quite the contrary: it is an indicator of brain and sensory health. Once we accept that it is a normal, though uncomfortable, part of life, we can use it to help us.
We all know working out at the gym is hard. By nature, a “good workout” is uncomfortable, since it involves pushing our physical strength past what we can easily do. The sweet spot of exercise is always a somewhat challenging experience. Similarly, if you want to be emotionally stronger, you need to face some tension. For example, one effective treatment for fear is exposure therapy (疗法), which involves gradually encountering things that make one anxious, reducing fear over time.
Humans are social creatures. When my patients learn to open up to their partners about their anxieties, they almost always report a greater sense of emotional closeness. Also, as international relationship expert Sue Johnson teaches, when we express our need for connection during challenging moments (e.g., “I’m having a hard time right now and could really use your support”), it creates greater connection and turns our anxiety into love.
From time to time, we find ourselves at the end of our rope. Our responsibilities pile up, our resources break down, and we feel uncomfortably anxious—what we’re experiencing is called stress. Simply put, the demands placed upon us outweigh our available resources, just like a set of scales (天平) going out of balance. Focusing on work and pretending everything is OK only leads to disastrous results. Medical treatment for stress may function for a while, but it tends to make things worse in the long run. The only solution to deal with stress is to do the mathematics to balance the scales.
28.What does the author say about anxiety
A.It is an invitation to diseases.
B.It indicates stable mental health.
C.It costs us many valuable chances.
D.It is a natural emotional expression.
29.Why does the author mention “good workout” in paragraph 2
A.To prove how exercise influences emotions.
B.To suggest an effective way to challenge limits.
C.To explain how anxiety builds emotional strength.
D.To show a positive connection between mind and body.
30.What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A.The key to closeness is partners’ support.
B.Sharing anxieties improves relationships.
C.Humans are defined by their social nature.
D.Expressing feelings keeps us off anxieties.
31.According to the last paragraph, how can we deal with stress
A.Devote more energy to our work.
B.Increase resources available to us.
C.Seek professional medical treatment.
D.Master advanced mathematical skills.
【答案】28.D 29.C 30.B 31.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了焦虑虽然令人不舒服,但接受它对我们有帮助。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Quite the contrary: it is an indicator of brain and sensory health. Once we accept that it is a normal, though uncomfortable, part of life, we can use it to help us.(恰恰相反:它是大脑和感官健康的指标。一旦我们接受这是生活中正常的一部分,尽管不舒服,我们就可以用它来帮助我们。)”可知,焦虑是一种正常的情感表露。故选D。
29.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“By nature, a ‘good workout’ is uncomfortable, since it involves pushing our physical strength past what we can easily do.(从本质上讲,‘好的锻炼’是不舒服的,因为它涉及到将我们的体力推过我们可以轻松完成的事情。)”和“Similarly, if you want to be emotionally stronger, you need to face some tension.(同样,如果你想在情感上更坚强,你需要面对一些紧张。)”可知,好的锻炼需要挑战身体的舒适区,同样,要想在情感上更坚强,有必要面对一些紧张,由此可推测出,提到“好的锻炼”是为了说明焦虑是如何帮助增强情感力量的。故选C。
30.主旨大意题。根据第三段“Humans are social creatures. When my patients learn to open up to their partners about their anxieties, they almost always report a greater sense of emotional closeness. Also, as international relationship expert Sue Johnson teaches, when we express our need for connection during challenging moments (e.g., ‘I’m having a hard time right now and could really use your support’), it creates greater connection and turns our anxiety into love.(人类是社会生物。当我的病人学会向他们的伴侣敞开心扉表达他们的焦虑时,他们几乎总是报告说有更大的情感亲密感。此外,正如国际关系专家Sue Johnson所教导的那样,当我们在充满挑战的时刻表达我们对联系的需求时(例如,‘我现在很难过,真的需要你的支持’),这会产生更大的联系,并将我们的焦虑转化为爱。)”可推出,本段主要讲述了分享焦虑有助于改善人际关系。故选B。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Simply put, the demands placed upon us outweigh our available resources, just like a set of scales (天平) going out of balance.(简单地说,对我们的要求超过了我们现有的资源,就像一组天平失去平衡一样。)”和“The only solution to deal with stress is to do the mathematics to balance the scales.(处理压力的唯一解决方案是通过数学来平衡天平。)”可知,对我们的要求超过了我们现有的资源,所以天平失去了平衡,而唯一的方法是通过数学来平衡天平,由此可推测出,要增加可用的资源,以便达到平衡。故选B。
D
Deforestatio——by clear-cutting or wildfires——has massive consequences both on climate and health. But leaving reforestation to Mother Nature can take decades, particularly as disastrous wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity. And the time, cost and labor involved makes traditional methods of tree planting not as practical as they once were.
Bryce Jones knows how hard it is to replant forests. For four months in 2013, he worked as a tree planter throughout Canada. “There’s no technology there,” he says. “The only way you can accomplish reforestation is through the air.” But it wasn’t until 2019 that he hit on the one that he thought had potential: use drones (无人机) to fire specially designed seed pods (荚) into the ground-at 10 times the normal temperature and costing 20percent less than traditional methods. He proposed the idea to his brother and Flash Forcer was born. His first goal was to plant a billion trees by 2025.
The team took out a loan, bought a drone and used 3D printers at Jones’s school to make casts of the pods. Now, only two and a half years later, the company has a group of drones with each able to carry several thousand pods per flight. Three operators work in a field, controlling five drones, whose flight take 15 to 20 minutes. Flash Forcer’s big draw is its seed pod, which contains everything seedlings (幼苗) need to survive survival. And its technology allows them to reach post-burn sites or remote areas that are difficult for traditional tree planting.
There are challenges every day, Jones says, as they work to improve the engineering, hardware, software and seed-pod recipes. Then there are the challenges presented by the climate——this year, record temperatures, record wildfires and drought. “That was something that was totally out of our control,” he says.
Unlike some traditional forms of reforestation, Flash Forcer is focused on biodiversity. For Jones, the target of planting a billion trees by 2025 is just the beginning. “I have a dream that the company will plant on six continents——everywhere where our technology is needed,” he says.
32.What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1
A.The benefits of reforestation.
B.The power of AI machines.
C.The way of putting out wildfires.
D.The necessity of using new planting methods.
33.What contributes to the particular appeal of Flash Forest
A.Its drone operators. B.The frequent flights.
C.Its seed pod. D.The low cost of seedlings.
34.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.Extreme weather. B.Drone technology.
C.3D equipment. D.Computer software.
35.What can we infer about Flash Forest from the last paragraph
A.It changed its focus in the past.
B.It will achieve its final target in 2025.
C.It might be available worldwide one day.
D.It has replaced traditional forms of reforestation.
【答案】32.D 33.C 34.A 35.C
【导语】本文是新闻报道。这篇文章主要报道了一项新的科技应用——使用无人机进行森林再造。
32.推理判断题。根据第一段“Deforestatio——by clear-cutting or wildfires——has massive consequences both on climate and health. But leaving reforestation to Mother Nature can take decades, particularly as disastrous wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity. And the time, cost and labor involved makes traditional methods of tree planting not as practical as they once were. (森林砍伐——通过砍伐树木或野火——对气候和健康都有巨大的影响。但是,把重新造林交给大自然可能需要几十年的时间,尤其是在灾难性的野火频率和强度都在增加的情况下。而且所涉及的时间、成本和劳动力使得传统的植树方法不像以前那么实用了)”可知,作者在第一段想告诉我们用传统的种树方法也不切实际,意思就是我们需要更新更先进的种树方法,也就是采用新的种植方法的必要性。故选D项。
33.细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“The team took out a loan, bought a drone and used 3D printers at Jones’s school to make casts of the pods. Now, only two and a half years later, the company has a group of drones with each able to carry several thousand pods per flight. Three operators work in a field, controlling five drones, whose flight take 15 to 20 minutes. Flash Forcer’s big draw is its seed pod, which contains everything seedlings (幼苗) need to survive survival. And its technology allows them to reach post-burn sites or remote areas that are difficult for traditional tree planting. (该团队贷款,购买了一架无人机,并在琼斯的学校使用3D打印机制作了豆荚的模型。现在,仅仅两年半之后,该公司就拥有了一组无人机,每架无人机每次飞行都能携带数千个吊舱。三名操作员在一个现场工作,控制五架无人机,飞行时间为15到20分钟。Flash Forcer最大的吸引力在于它的种子荚,里面包含了幼苗生存所需的一切。它的技术使它们能够到达燃烧后的地点或传统植树难以到达的偏远地区。)”可知,Flash Forcer最大的吸引力在于它的种子荚。故选C项。
34.词句猜测题。that为代词,应是代指前文提到的事物,根据前文“Then there are the challenges presented by the climate——this year, record temperatures, record wildfires and drought. (然后是气候带来的挑战——今年,创纪录的气温、创纪录的野火和干旱。)”可知,that代指应是前文提到的极端天气。故选A项。
35.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Unlike some traditional forms of reforestation, Flash Forcer is focused on biodiversity. For Jones, the target of planting a billion trees by 2025 is just the beginning. “I have a dream that the company will plant on six continents——everywhere where our technology is needed,” he says. (与一些传统形式的再造林不同,Flash Forcer专注于生物多样性。对琼斯来说,到2025年种植10亿棵树的目标仅仅是个开始。他说:“我有一个梦想,公司将在六大洲——任何需要我们技术的地方——建厂。”)”可知,从本段可推断也许Flash Forest以后会推广至全世界。故选C项。

OpenAI said it intends to train the AI models to help people solve problems 60 require real-world interaction. These types of AI models could have a big impact on digital entertainment markets with new 61 (personalize) content being streamed across channels.
At the same time, OpenAI said Sora is still a work 62 progress with clear weaknesses. It gave the example of creating a video of someone taking a bite out of a cookie but it not having a bite mark right after.

【答案】
56.uses 57.have been shared 58.length 59.but 60.which/that 61.personalized 62.in 63.closely 64.to collect 65.professionals
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了Sora-OpenAI的新文本转视频生成器。
56.考查时态和主谓一致。句意 :这款工具是由总部位于旧金山的公司于周四发布的,利用生成式人工智能根据书面指令即时创建短视频。结合语境可知本句陈述事实,故时态用一般现在时,且主语为The tool,故谓语用use“利用”的第三人称单数形式。故填uses。

61.考查形容词。句意:这类AI模型可能会对数字娱乐市场产生重大影响,带来跨渠道新的个性化内容。本空用形容词personalized“个性化的”,作定语,修饰content。故填personalized。
62.考查介词。句意:与此同时,OpenAI表示Sora仍在不断改进中,存在明显的弱点。in progress“正在进行中”为固定短语。故填in。
63.考查副词。句意:公司表示计划与专家团队合作,测试最新模型,并深入研究多个领域。本空用副词closely“紧密地,仔细地,接近地”,作状语,修饰look at。故填closely。
64.考查非谓语动词。句意:他们还授权给了一些视觉艺术家、设计师和电影制作人,以收集专业人士如何利用这一工具的反馈。本句系动词为is,此处为非谓语动词,应用collect“收集”的不定式,作目的状语。故填to collect。

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。
When Valentine's Day was around the corner, Grandma came down with a terrible cold when she was travelling from Colorado to my family's house in California. She was too weak to go out at all, which was sad and disappointing. That was because Grandma and Grandpa had been planning to take my little sister Indi and me to the zoo for Valentine's Day. Grandma, as an animal lover, had been especially looking forward to it.
On Valentine's Day Indi begged Grandma to go to the zoo together. But Grandma jokingly explained that if she went there, she might spread her cold to other visitors, or even to the animals, making them all start sneezing.
In my mind, I imagined the sight that an elephant kept sneezing. Meanwhile I made my arm into a trunk and blurted out a funny trumpeting sound that ended in a gigantic sneeze. "Good one, Brother!" Indi laughed. "That elephant would need a huge box of tissues.”
Grandma was amused. But she insisted that she should stay at home and rest up. She wished us a pleasant visit and reminded us to send her regards to the monkeys in the zoo.
Well, we did go and we did have a great time but I kept wishing Grandma could have been there with us. When we reached the monkey mountain, Grandpa told us to hold still and say “cheese" and snapped a good picture of the monkeys and us.
“Cheese!” I said. But Indi said, “Happy Valentine's Day, Grandma!”
"You were supposed to say cheese." said Grandpa.
Indi shrugged, “It just came out.”
"I'm glad it did" I said, because your words just gave me a fantastic idea! What if we take pictures of different animals, and then turn them into a special Valentine gift for Grandma " Indi and Grandpa agreed and we kept taking pictures with delight for Grandma's surprise.
注意:
1、所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2、续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
When we got home, we set about making the gift.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Then we took the gift upstairs to Grandma’s room.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1: When we got home, we set about making the gift. At first, we printed the photos and planned to fill them on the heart cards. “But we have limited room!” complained Indi. So we agreed to make Grandma a Valentine zoo book. The book included various animals, each occupying a page. Indi was responsible for coloring the photos with markers while I made speech balloons coming out of animals’ mouths. For example, the monkeys said, “We go bananas with you.” Finally, we stuck the cards together to form a book with Grandpa’s help. It took forever to finish but it turned out great.
Paragraph 2: Then we took the gift upstairs to Grandma’s room. “I bet she’d like it.” Grandpa said. Indi and I nodded with agreement. On entering the room, Indi rushed to present Grandma with our creation. When browsing the Valentine book, Grandma was deeply moved and happy tears blurred her eyes. “Oh, you little sweet potatoes!” Grandma smiled, “I love you.” It seemed that the love and devotion behind our gift had turned Grandma’s frown upside down. At that moment, it suddenly dawned on me that in terms of a gift, what matters much is not the gift but the care you show.
