It’s not hard to see how welcoming Berlin is to families. There are kid-orientated (儿童导向的) cafes and imaginatively themed playgrounds. Parks and woodlands provide plentiful picnicking opportunities and, in hot weather, lakes offer sunbathing.
Getting around is easy, too. The city’s neighborhoods are walkable, and its public transport network efficient and cheap. Its wide, flat streets, bike lanes and family-friendly cycle hire make two wheels a great way to explore while taking in the city's impressive sights—all of which make Berlin a memorable family destination.
What to do with toddlers (学步的儿童)
A popular neighbourhood with families, Prenzlauer Berg has playgrounds, parks and pretty streets with shops selling kids’ clothes and toys, as well as family-friendly cafes. For those gifted in music, the Frank Gehry-designed concert hall at the Barenboim-Said Academy hosts morning concerts for babies under 12 months and afternoon concerts for one-to-five-year-olds. Meanwhile, central Tiergarten is a wonderful spot for walking, picnicking or kicking a ball in the grass; wander through the woods, spotting cultural sights. Of the park’s six playgrounds, the one close to Thomas-Dehler-Strasse is best equipped for toddlers.
What to do with tweens and teenagers
The Deutsches Technik museum will absorb transport and technology fans for hours. For those ready to learn about the darkest chapter of German history, the Topography of Terror museum is located on the site of the former SS and Gestapo (盖世太保) headquarters. Checkpoint Charlie is a few minutes walk away and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe can be reached in around 20 minutes on foot. To experience a little of Berlin's alternative side, Bearpit Karaoke is held on Sundays at Mauer park.

Natasha Tucker’s passion for fighting plastic pollution began with a shocking moment.
While working at the Vancouver Aquarium, Tucker met a rescued dolphin whose fins were partially cut off due to fishing equipment entanglement (缠绕). This heartbreaking experience made Tucker immediately search for a way to take action against the plastic pollution that caused these injuries.
“I saw immediately that this was because of us,” she says. “I knew I had to do something. Then, I found Mind Your Plastic.”
That aquarium encounter was not the only experience that inspired Tucker to action. Other experiences like working in retail management came with witnessing tons of plastic waste. “I saw how much got thrown out, and it didn’t sit well with me,” she says.
Plastic waste in business is among what Mind Your Plastic is seeking to end via its three key programs: the Circular Economy Ambassador Program(CEAP) for educators and youth, the Plastic-Free Events Policy Program for municipalities (市政当局) and the Plastic Awareness and Reduction Tool-kit s (PART) Program for businesses.
When people donate to Mind Your Plastic, their dollars directly support these programs and help them effect change. Through direct partnerships with local educators, municipalities and businesses, these programs connect Canadians with direct ways to take action. The CEAP program, for example, helps teachers educate youth about the circular economy, lead local cleanups, and track collected waste.
The blame game is another area in need of transition, according to Tucker, who says that big companies, not customers, should carry the responsibility to solve Canada’s plastic pollution problem.
“It’s felt for a long time like the responsibility is placed on the customers,” says Tucker. “That needs to stop.”
Tucker says this perspective (观点) can be shifted by individuals creating public pressures—for example, pushing for policy—and using their dollars to support more sustainable, circular alternatives until these policy changes happen.
“This makes policy a valuable tool. And big business may say there’s no interest, but we know there is,” she says. “Let’s use our dollars to prove that, and challenge policymakers to help make change happen.”
4. What first inspired Natasha Tucker’s passion for fighting plastic pollution
A. Working in retail management. B. Witnessing tons of plastic waste.
C. Meeting an injured dolphin. D. Finding Mind Your Plastic.
5. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean
A. Tucker felt uneasy about the large quantity of the plastic.
B. Tucker was unconcerned about the amount of plastic waste she saw.
C. Tucker enjoyed managing so much plastic waste.
D. Tucker thought the amount of plastic waste was acceptable.
6. According to the text, how does Mind Your Plastic aim to effect change
A. By blaming consumers for plastic waste. B. By providing education and partnership.
C. By quarreling with big businesses. D. By stop ping using plastic products.
7. What is the passage mainly about
A. The harmful effects of plastic pollution on life in the ocean.
B. Natasha Tucker’s personal experiences and her fight against plastic pollution.
C. The programs of Mind Your Plastic to reduce plastic waste.
D. The responsibility of big companies in solving Canada’s plastic pollution problem.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. B
【解析】

An experimental treatment rejuvenates (使...恢复活力) the immune (免疫的) systems of older mice, improving their ability to fight infections. If it works in humans, the treatment could reverse (逆转) age-related decreases in immunity that leave older adults susceptible to disease.
These decreases may be due to changes in our blood stem cells which can develop into any type of blood cell—including key parts that make up the immune system. As we age, a larger proportion (比例) of these stem cells tend to produce some immune cells over others, says Jason Ross at Stanford University in California. This imbalance damages the immune system’s defenses.
Ross and his colleagues have developed a treatment using antibodies (抗体), which are proteins that recognize and attack certain cells to target these abnormal stem cells. They tested the treatment in six mice between 18 and 24 months old, which is roughly equal to an age of 56 to 70 years in humans.
A week after receiving an antibody injection, the mice had about 38 percent fewer of these abnormal stem cells than six mice of the same age that didn’t receive the treatment. “You can think of it as kind of turning back the clock,” says Ross. “We’re making the proportion of these immune cells more similar to those of a younger adult mouse.”
To test if the changes resulted in a stronger immune system, the researchers vaccinated (打疫苗) 17 older mice against a mouse virus. Nine of these mice had received the antibody treatment eight weeks earlier. The researchers then infected (感染) the mice with the virus. Two weeks later, they measured the number of infected cells in the animals and found that nearly half of the treated mice had cleared the infection, compared with only one of the eight untreated mice.
The findings indicate that the antibody treatment rejuvenates the mouse immune system. “Since humans, like mice, also see abnormal blood stem cells increase with age, a similar antibody treatment may rejuvenate our immune systems,” says Ross.
8. What does the underlined word “susceptible” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Strongly resist. B. Easily suffer from.
C. Completely unaffected by. D. Highly immune to.
9. What may cause age-related decreases in immunity
A. Changes in our nervous system.
B. An increase in antibodies in our body.
C. Changes in blood stem cells.
D. A decrease in the number of immune cells.
10. How did the researchers measure the effectiveness of the antibody treatment on the mice
A. By analyzing changes in their lifestyle.
B. By observing differences in their behavior.
C. By conducting blood tests to measure immune cell counts.
D. By counting the number of infected cells after virus contact.
11. What conclusion can be drawn from the findings of the study
A. The antibody treatment has no effect on the mouse immune system.
B. The antibody treatment increases the risk of infections in mice.
C. The antibody treatment only works on young mice, not older ones.
D. The antibody treatment improves the mouse immune system.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。详细介绍了一项关于恢复老年小鼠免疫系统活力的实验性治疗的研究。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“If it works in humans, the treatment could reverse (逆转) age-related decreases in immunity(如果对人类有效，这种治疗方法可能会逆转与年龄相关的免疫力下降)”根据实际可知，免疫力下降会导致更容易生病，推知susceptible to disease是“容易生病的”之意，susceptible和B项意思相近。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“These decreases may be due to changes in our blood stem cells which can develop into any type of blood cell—including key parts that make up the immune system. As we age, a larger proportion (比例) of these stem cells tend to produce some immune cells over others, says Jason Ross at Stanford University in California. This imbalance damages the immune system’s defenses.(这些下降可能是由于我们的造血干细胞发生变化，这些细胞可以发育成任何类型的血细胞，包括构成免疫系统的关键部分。加利福尼亚州斯坦福大学的杰森·罗斯说，随着年龄的增长，这些干细胞中有很大一部分往往会产生一些相对于其他细胞而言更多的免疫细胞。这种不平衡会损害免疫系统的防御能力)”可知，血液干细胞的变化导致与年龄相关的免疫力下降。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“To test if the changes resulted in a stronger immune system, the researchers vaccinated (打疫苗) 17 older mice against a mouse virus. Nine of these mice had received the antibody treatment eight weeks earlier. The researchers then infected (感染) the mice with the virus. Two weeks later, they measured the number of infected cells in the animals and found that nearly half of the treated mice had cleared the infection, compared with only one of the eight untreated mice.(为了测试这些变化是否会导致更强的免疫系统，研究人员给17只老年小鼠接种了一种小鼠病毒疫苗。其中9只老鼠在8周前接受了抗体治疗。然后研究人员用这种病毒感染老鼠。两周后，他们测量了动物体内感染细胞的数量，发现近一半接受治疗的小鼠清除了感染，而8只未接受治疗的小鼠中只有1只清除了感染)”可知，研究人员通过计算病毒接触后感染细胞的数量来测量抗体治疗对小鼠的有效性。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings indicate that the antibody treatment rejuvenates the mouse immune system. “Since humans, like mice, also see abnormal blood stem cells increase with age, a similar antibody treatment may rejuvenate our immune systems,” says Ross.(研究结果表明，抗体治疗可以使小鼠的免疫系统恢复活力。罗斯说，“因为人类和老鼠一样，也会随着年龄的增长看到异常的血液干细胞增加，所以类似的抗体治疗可能会使我们的免疫系统恢复活力。”)”可知，从研究结果中可以知道抗体治疗可以改善小鼠的免疫系统。故选D项。
D
Dogs may understand more than they show. Pet dogs’ brains displayed neural (神经的) signs of surprise when their owners showed them an unexpected toy. The findings, published March 22 in Current Biology, suggest that dogs create mental concepts of objects.
“Anyone who has ever interacted very much with a dog probably is not that surprised to know that dogs understand that your speech is referring to at least a few common objects,” says Ellen Lau, a neuroscientist at the University of Maryland in College Park. But some people may have assumed this “understanding” is a simple reaction to the sound of the word.
Marianna Boros, a neuroscientist at Eotv’s Lorand University in Budapest, recruited 27 pet dogs and their owners. The team asked the owners to bring five familiar toys and other objects to the lab. Researchers stuck electrodes (电极) to the dogs’ heads and gave them two tasks: lieon a mat and stay awake.
Every so often, a dog would hear a recording of its owner saying things like, “Kun-Kun, look, the ball!” The dog’s owner was on the other side of a wall with a window covered by the curtains. Just after the recording played, the curtains were opened, showing the owner holding a toy—the ball or a different toy, such as a rope.
Just after seeing an unexpected object, an electrode monitoring (监测) brain activity picked up a larger-than-normal signal. This signal indicates surprise, the team says, and suggests that the dog had already formed a mental concept and expectation of the ball after hearing that word. In fact, the signal was especially strong for a mismatch involving words that the dogs reportedly knew very well. “That suggests that it is really about understanding and knowledge of the word,” Boros says.
12. Which statement best reflects Ellen Lau’s view on dogs’ understanding of speech
A. Dogs understand speech primarily as a reaction to the sound of words.
B. Dogs understand speech, especially when it involves common objects.
C. Dogs have limited understanding of speech, mainly reacting to tone.
D. Dogs shows understanding of the deeper meaning of the speech.
13. How did researchers test dogs’ reactions
A. By monitoring their brain activity. B. By observing their behaviors.
C. By playing recordings. D. By opening the curtains.
14. What does the signal mentioned in paragraph 5 indicate
A. Dogs hear commands. B. Dogs display behaviors.
C. Dogs show interest. D. Dogs form expectations.
15. Which might be the best title for the text
A. Examining Dogs’ Hearing of Words B. Revealing Dogs’ Mental Concepts
C. Exploring Dogs’ Reactions to the Orders D. Studying Dogs’ Neural System
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要通过实验得出狗对人类话语中提到的物品有心理概念，解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的有关发现。
12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““Anyone who has ever interacted very much with a dog probably is not that surprised to know that dogs understand that your speech is referring to at least a few common objects,” says Ellen Lau, a neuroscientist at the University of Maryland in College Park.(马里兰大学帕克分校的神经科学家Ellen Lau说：“任何与狗有过密切互动的人都不会感到惊讶，因为狗能理解你的语言至少指的是一些常见的物体。”)”可推知，B选项“狗能理解言语，尤其是涉及普通物体的时候”最能反映刘爱伦关于狗对语言的理解的观点。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Just after seeing an unexpected object, an electrode monitoring (监测) brain activity picked up a larger-than-normal signal.(就在看到一个意想不到的物体后，一个监测大脑活动的电极接收到一个比正常情况更大的信号)”可知，研究人员通过监测狗的大脑活动测试狗的反应。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“This signal indicates surprise, the team says, and suggests that the dog had already formed a mental concept and expectation of the ball after hearing that word.(研究小组说，这个信号表示惊讶，并表明狗在听到这个词后已经形成了对球的心理概念和期望)”可知，第5段提到的信号表明了狗形成期望。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Dogs may understand more than they show. Pet dogs’ brains displayed neural (神经的) signs of surprise when their owners showed them an unexpected toy. The findings, published March 22 in Current Biology, suggest that dogs create mental concepts of objects.(狗可能懂得的比它们表现出来的要多。当宠物狗的主人给它们看意想不到的玩具时，它们的大脑会显示出惊讶的神经信号。该研究结果发表在3月22日的《当代生物学》杂志上，表明狗能创造出物体的心理概念)”结合文章主要通过实验得出狗对人类话语中提到的物品有心理概念。故B选项“揭示狗的心理概念”最符合文章标题。故选B。
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.
Three Ways For Children to Learn From The Land This Earth Month
Even if you live in a big city, you can still experience nature firsthand. ____16____ It’s all that we experience with our senses when we go outside. Here are three ways to introduce the concept of climate change to kids while encouraging a connection with the environment.
Keep a climate journal.
____17____ However, you can explain that climate is simply the pattern of weather in a certain place over time. Have them keep a weather journal of the local weather day to day to get a sense of the climate in their area. For the older kids, discuss different weather measurement tools that are used by meteorologists (气象学家), such as barometers and hygrometers.
____18____
Kids can help take care of plants, like vegetables in a garden or flowering plants in pots. Growing and nurturing plants helps children understand that living things have needs and that people have a role to play in helping living things meet those needs. Make connections between climate change and the needs of plants; for example, how hotter temperatures may mean that a plant needs more water.
Build an outdoor play tool kit.
Put together an outdoor tool kit with a magnifying glass (放大镜), a pair of binoculars, a shovel, and a clear container with a lid or a bucket. These items can help kids find and collect natural specimens (标本) to examine. If they need ideas for how to bring nature into their outdoor games, try starting with something they are already interested in. ____19____
It doesn’t take much to strengthen a lifelong relationship between children and the natural world, but it helps to start early and be consistent. ____20____ With a little guidance from parents and educators, children who care about the environment will grow into adults who care about the environment.
A. Get in the dirt.
B. Develop interest in plants.
C. Nature isn’t just wilderness.
D. Climate change is a tough subject for younger kids.
E. Their desire to protect the planet will naturally grow.
F. Connecting with nature requires no special destination.
G. This could mean building a mini amusement park using natural materials.
【答案】16. C 17. D 18. A 19. G 20. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了3种方式引导家里面的小孩认识和保护地球。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Even if you live in a big city, you can still experience nature firsthand.(即使你住在大城市，你仍然可以亲身体验大自然)”以及后文“It’s all that we experience with our senses when we go outside.(这是我们外出时用感官体验到的一切)”可知，前文提到在城市中也可以亲身感受自然，后一句提到只要走出家门就可以感知自然。故中间句表达，自然不一定存在与荒野中。故C选项“自然不只是荒野”符合语境，故选C。
【17题详解】
根据后文“However, you can explain that climate is simply the pattern of weather in a certain place over time. Have them keep a weather journal of the local weather day to day to get a sense of the climate in their area. For the older kids, discuss different weather measurement tools that are used by meteorologists (气象学家), such as barometers and hygrometers.(然而，你可以解释说，气候只是某一地区一段时间内的天气模式。让他们每天记录当地天气的天气日志，以了解他们所在地区的气候。对于年龄较大的孩子，讨论气象学家使用的不同天气测量工具，如气压计和湿度计)”可知，下句“however”表明填空句与之构成转折关系。刚好D项中的 tough和下句的“simply”构成转折。同时本段后面提到了“older kids”与D项中的“younger kids"呼应。故D选项“气候变化对小孩子来说是一个很难的话题”符合语境，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据本段内容“Kids can help take care of plants, like vegetables in a garden or flowering plants in pots. Growing and nurturing plants helps children understand that living things have needs and that people have a role to play in helping living things meet those needs. Make connections between climate change and the needs of plants; for example, how hotter temperatures may mean that a plant needs more water.(孩子们可以帮忙照顾植物，比如花园里的蔬菜或花盆里的开花植物。种植和培育植物可以帮助孩子们理解生物有需求，人们在帮助生物满足这些需求方面扮演着重要的角色。在气候变化和植物需求之间建立联系；例如，温度越高意味着植物需要更多的水)”可知，本段提到通过孩子亲自去种植植物而加强他们对于这片土地的认识。A选项dirt指泥土。就是让孩子们进入泥土中，亲自种植的意思。故A选项“进入泥土”符合语境，故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文“If they need ideas for how to bring nature into their outdoor games, try starting with something they are already interested in.(如果他们需要关于如何将自然带入户外游戏的想法，试着从他们已经感兴趣的东西开始)”可知，上句提到把“nature”带进孩子们的户外活动， G选项中用自然界找到的东西来搭建孩子们的迷你游乐园。刚好与之呼应。故G选项“这可能意味着用天然材料建造一个小型游乐园”符合语境，故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“It doesn’t take much to strengthen a lifelong relationship between children and the natural world, but it helps to start early and be consistent.(加强儿童与自然世界之间的终身关系并不需要太多的努力，但它有助于及早开始并保持一致)”可知，上句提到尽早培养孩子们和自然的关系，并且要连贯。下句“With a little guidance from parents and educators, children who care about the environment will grow into adults who care about the environment.(在父母和教育工作者的一点点引导下，关心环境的孩子将成长为关心环境的成年人)”提到这样的话孩子们就会成长为关心环境的成年人。E选项中的 naturally grown，与代词“their”刚好前后句相呼应。故E选项“他们保护地球的愿望自然会增长”符合语境，故选E。

It’s not hard to see how welcoming Berlin is to families. There are kid-orientated (儿童导向的) cafes and imaginatively themed playgrounds. Parks and woodlands provide plentiful picnicking opportunities and, in hot weather, lakes offer sunbathing.
Getting around is easy too. The city’s neighborhoods are walkable, and its public transport network efficient and cheap. Its wide, flat streets, bike lanes and family-friendly cycle hire make two wheels a great way to explore while taking in the city's impressive sights—all of which make Berlin a memorable family destination.
What to do with toddlers (学步的儿童)
A popular neighbourhood with families, Prenzlauer Berg has playgrounds, parks and pretty streets with shops selling kids’ clothes and toys, as well as family-friendly cafes. For those gifted in music, the Frank Gehry-designed concert hall at the Barenboim-Said Academy hosts morning concerts for babies under 12 months and afternoon concerts for one-to-five-year-olds. Meanwhile, central Tiergarten is a wonderful spot for walking, picnicking or kicking a ball in the grass; wander through the woods, spotting cultural sights. Of the park’s six playgrounds, the one close to Thomas-Dehler-Strasse is best equipped for toddlers.
What to do with tweens and teenagers
The Deutsches Technik museum will absorb transport and technology fans for hours. For those ready to learn about the darkest chapter of German history, the Topography of Terror museum is located on the site of the former SS and Gestapo (盖世太保) headquarters. Checkpoint Charlie is a few minutes walk away and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe can be reached in around 20 minutes on foot. To experience a little of Berlin's alternative side, Bearpit Karaoke is held on Sundays at Mauer park.

Natasha Tucker’s passion for fighting plastic pollution began with a shocking moment.
While working at the Vancouver Aquarium, Tucker met a rescued dolphin whose fins were partially cut off due to fishing equipment entanglement (缠绕). This heartbreaking experience made Tucker immediately search for a way to take action against the plastic pollution that caused these injuries.
“I saw immediately that this was because of us,” she says. “I knew I had to do something. Then, I found Mind Your Plastic.”
That aquarium encounter was not the only experience that inspired Tucker to action. Other experiences like working in retail management came with witnessing tons of plastic waste. “I saw how much got thrown out, and it didn’t sit well with me,” she says.
Plastic waste in business is among what Mind Your Plastic is seeking to end via its three key programs: the Circular Economy Ambassador Program(CEAP) for educators and youth, the Plastic-Free Events Policy Program for municipalities (市政当局) and the Plastic Awareness and Reduction Tool-kit s (PART) Program for businesses.
When people donate to Mind Your Plastic, their dollars directly support these programs and help them effect change. Through direct partnerships with local educators, municipalities and businesses, these programs connect Canadians with direct ways to take action. The CEAP program, for example, helps teachers educate youth about the circular economy, lead local cleanups, and track collected waste.
The blame game is another area in need of transition, according to Tucker, who says that big companies, not customers, should carry the responsibility to solve Canada’s plastic pollution problem.
“It’s felt for a long time like the responsibility is placed on the customers,” says Tucker. “That needs to stop.”
Tucker says this perspective (观点) can be shifted by individuals creating public pressures—for example, pushing for policy—and using their dollars to support more sustainable, circular alternatives until these policy changes happen.
“This makes policy a valuable tool. And big business may say there’s no interest, but we know there is,” she says. “Let’s use our dollars to prove that, and challenge policymakers to help make change happen.”
4. What first inspired Natasha Tucker’s passion for fighting plastic pollution
A. Working in retail management. B. Witnessing tons of plastic waste.
C. Meeting an injured dolphin. D. Finding Mind Your Plastic.
5. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean
A. Tucker felt uneasy about the large quantity of the plastic.
B. Tucker was unconcerned about the amount of plastic waste she saw.
C. Tucker enjoyed managing so much plastic waste.
D Tucker thought the amount of plastic waste was acceptable.
6. According to the text, how does Mind Your Plastic aim to effect change
A. By blaming consumers for plastic waste. B. By providing education and partnership.
C. By quarreling with big businesses. D. By stop ping using plastic products.
7. What is the passage mainly about
A. The harmful effects of plastic pollution on life in the ocean.
B. Natasha Tucker’s personal experiences and her fight against plastic pollution.
C. The programs of Mind Your Plastic to reduce plastic waste.
D. The responsibility of big companies in solving Canada’s plastic pollution problem.
C
An experimental treatment rejuvenates (使...恢复活力) the immune (免疫的) systems of older mice, improving their ability to fight infections. If it works in humans, the treatment could reverse (逆转) age-related decreases in immunity that leave older adults susceptible to disease.
These decreases may be due to changes in our blood stem cells which can develop into any type of blood cell—including key parts that make up the immune system. As we age, a larger proportion (比例) of these stem cells tend to produce some immune cells over others, says Jason Ross at Stanford University in California. This imbalance damages the immune system’s defenses.
Ross and his colleagues have developed a treatment using antibodies (抗体), which are proteins that recognize and attack certain cells to target these abnormal stem cells. They tested the treatment in six mice between 18 and 24 months old, which is roughly equal to an age of 56 to 70 years in humans.
A week after receiving an antibody injection, the mice had about 38 percent fewer of these abnormal stem cells than six mice of the same age that didn’t receive the treatment. “You can think of it as kind of turning back the clock,” says Ross. “We’re making the proportion of these immune cells more similar to those of a younger adult mouse.”
To test if the changes resulted in a stronger immune system, the researchers vaccinated (打疫苗) 17 older mice against a mouse virus. Nine of these mice had received the antibody treatment eight weeks earlier. The researchers then infected (感染) the mice with the virus. Two weeks later, they measured the number of infected cells in the animals and found that nearly half of the treated mice had cleared the infection, compared with only one of the eight untreated mice.
The findings indicate that the antibody treatment rejuvenates the mouse immune system. “Since humans, like mice, also see abnormal blood stem cells increase with age, a similar antibody treatment may rejuvenate our immune systems,” says Ross.
8. What does the underlined word “susceptible” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Strongly resist. B. Easily suffer from.
C. Completely unaffected by. D. Highly immune to.
9. What may cause age-related decreases in immunity
A. Changes in our nervous system.
B. An increase in antibodies in our body.
C. Changes in blood stem cells.
D. A decrease in the number of immune cells.
10. How did the researchers measure the effectiveness of the antibody treatment on the mice
A. By analyzing changes in their lifestyle.
B. By observing differences in their behavior.
C. By conducting blood tests to measure immune cell counts.
D. By counting the number of infected cells after virus contact.
11. What conclusion can be drawn from the findings of the study
A. The antibody treatment has no effect on the mouse immune system.
B. The antibody treatment increases the risk of infections in mice.
C. The antibody treatment only works on young mice, not older ones.
D. The antibody treatment improves the mouse immune system.
D
Dogs may understand more than they show. Pet dogs’ brains displayed neural (神经的) signs of surprise when their owners showed them an unexpected toy. The findings, published March 22 in Current Biology, suggest that dogs create mental concepts of objects.
“Anyone who has ever interacted very much with a dog probably is not that surprised to know that dogs understand that your speech is referring to at least a few common objects,” says Ellen Lau, a neuroscientist at the University of Maryland in College Park. But some people may have assumed this “understanding” is a simple reaction to the sound of the word.
Marianna Boros, a neuroscientist at Eotv’s Lorand University in Budapest, recruited 27 pet dogs and their owners. The team asked the owners to bring five familiar toys and other objects to the lab. Researchers stuck electrodes (电极) to the dogs’ heads and gave them two tasks: lieon a mat and stay awake.
Every so often a dog would hear a recording of its owner saying things like, “Kun-Kun, look, the ball!” The dog’s owner was on the other side of a wall with a window covered by the curtains. Just after the recording played, the curtains were opened, showing the owner holding a toy—the ball or a different toy, such as a rope.
Just after seeing an unexpected object, an electrode monitoring (监测) brain activity picked up a larger-than-normal signal. This signal indicates surprise, the team says, and suggests that the dog had already formed a mental concept and expectation of the ball after hearing that word. In fact, the signal was especially strong for a mismatch involving words that the dogs reportedly knew very well. “That suggests that it is really about understanding and knowledge of the word,” Boros says.
12. Which statement best reflects Ellen Lau’s view on dogs’ understanding of speech
A. Dogs understand speech primarily as a reaction to the sound of words.
B. Dogs understand speech, especially when it involves common objects.
C. Dogs have limited understanding of speech, mainly reacting to tone.
D. Dogs shows understanding of the deeper meaning of the speech.
13. How did researchers test dogs’ reactions
A. By monitoring their brain activity. B. By observing their behaviors.
C. By playing recordings. D. By opening the curtains.
14. What does the signal mentioned in paragraph 5 indicate
A. Dogs hear commands. B. Dogs display behaviors.
C. Dogs show interest. D. Dogs form expectations.
15. Which might be the best title for the text
A. Examining Dogs’ Hearing of Words B. Revealing Dogs’ Mental Concepts
C. Exploring Dogs’ Reactions to the Orders D. Studying Dogs’ Neural System

Three Ways For Children to Learn From The Land This Earth Month
Even if you live in a big city, you can still experience nature firsthand. ____16____ It’s all that we experience with our senses when we go outside. Here are three ways to introduce the concept of climate change to kids while encouraging a connection with the environment.
Keep a climate journal.
____17____ However, you can explain that climate is simply the pattern of weather in a certain place over time. Have them keep a weather journal of the local weather day to day to get a sense of the climate in their area. For the older kids, discuss different weather measurement tools that are used by meteorologists (气象学家), such as barometers and hygrometers.
____18____
Kids can help take care of plants, like vegetables in a garden or flowering plants in pots. Growing and nurturing plants helps children understand that living things have needs and that people have a role to play in helping living things meet those needs. Make connections between climate change and the needs of plants; for example, how hotter temperatures may mean that a plant needs more water.
Build an outdoor play tool kit.
Put together an outdoor tool kit with a magnifying glass (放大镜), a pair of binoculars, a shovel, and a clear container with a lid or a bucket. These items can help kids find and collect natural specimens (标本) to examine. If they need ideas for how to bring nature into their outdoor games, try starting with something they are already interested in. ____19____
It doesn’t take much to strengthen a lifelong relationship between children and the natural world, but it helps to start early and be consistent. ____20____ With a little guidance from parents and educators, children who care about the environment will grow into adults who care about the environment.
A. Get in the dirt.
B. Develop interest in plants.
C. Nature isn’t just wilderness.
D. Climate change is a tough subject for younger kids.
E. Their desire to protect the planet will naturally grow.
F. Connecting with nature requires no special destination.
G. This could mean building a mini amusement park using natural materials.
