For the first time in its 100-year history, Walt Disney Animation has cooperated with an outside animation studio on a project. The result is lwájú, an interesting and original six-part series set in a futuristic version of Lagos, Africa. It was created with the Pan-African entertainment company Kugali and premieres (首映) on Disney+ on February 28.
lwájú is a story about Tola, a young girl from a wealthy family, and her best friend, Kole, a self-taught tech expert, and their discovery of the secrets and dangers hidden in their different worlds. The show explores inequality and the idea of challenging society’s standards. Like the Disney+ series Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire, Marvel’s Black Panther films, and the Netflix animated series My Dad the Bounty Hunter, lwájú is part of a genre (体裁) called Afrofuturism. It combines elements of science fiction, the culture and history of Africa and Africans, fantasy, and a vision of a better future.
The series was directed by Adeola, “lwájú was born from my personal inspiration to tell a story about Lagos because one of the unique things I noticed is how the geography actually supports the societal divide in a way that is very obvious,” Adeola told in the interview, “In Lagos, the wealthy people live on the island, and the working class and poor people live on the mainland. So you literally see a body of water separating rich and poor. And so I thought that was a really interesting foundation upon which to build a science-fiction story.”
Adeola called lwájú “a love letter to Lagos” and said every frame praises the city’s diversity and spirit. The characters, he explained, represent typical types of Nigerian people and they wear clothing inspired by traditional African textiles (纺织品).
While the series of films questions the divisions in society, Adeola said it also highlights the bravery required to disrupt them. He added that he hopes lwájú inspires audiences to find strength in unity and the courage to dream of change.
4. What’s the similarity between lwájú and other Disney+ series according to the text
A. They are adventurous stories.
B. They explore inequality and challenge society’s standards.
C. They combine African traditional culture and futurism.
D. They are produced by Walt Disney Animation independently.
5. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. The society is rarely divided by geography.
B. Generally, upper class live on the mainland.
C. Adeola’s friend inspired him to film lwájú.
D. The poor and rich are separated quite clearly.
6. The underlined word “disrupt” can be replaced by ______.
A. Break. B. Obtain. C. Estimate. D. Distinguish.
7. Which of the following can best describe the film lwájú
A. Imaginary and humorous. B. Innovative and realistic.
C. Attractive and inspiring. D. Critical and multicultural.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了Walt Disney Animation首次与外部动画工作室合作制作的新系列lwájú的相关信息，包括合作背景、系列内容、导演灵感来源、对城市的赞美以及作品想要传达的信息等。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Like the Disney+ series Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire, Marvel’s Black Panther films, and the Netflix animated series My Dad the Bounty Hunter, lwájú is part of a genre (体裁) called Afrofuturism. It combines elements of science fiction, the culture and history of Africa and Africans, fantasy, and a vision of a better future.(与迪士尼+系列《Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire》、漫威的《黑豹》电影以及Netflix的动画系列《我的爸爸是赏金猎人》一样，lwájú属于一种名为“非洲未来主义”的体裁。它结合了科幻小说的元素，非洲和非洲人的文化和历史，幻想和对更美好未来的展望。)”可知，lwájú和其他迪士尼+系列的电影一样，结合了科幻小说的元素，非洲和非洲人的文化和历史，幻想和对更美好未来的展望。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Adeola told in the interview, “In Lagos, the wealthy people live on the island, and the working class and poor people live on the mainland. So you literally see a body of water separating rich and poor. And so I thought that was a really interesting foundation upon which to build a science-fiction story.”(Adeola在采访中说，‘在Lagos，富人住在岛上，工人阶级和穷人住在大陆。所以你真的看到一大片水把富人和穷人分开。所以我认为这是一个非常有趣的科幻故事的基础。’)”可知，在lwájú中的世界，穷人生活在漂浮的岛屿上，而富人则住在大陆上。这种描述清楚地表明了穷人和富人在地域上的明确划分。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线所在句“While the series of films questions the divisions in society, Adeola said it also highlights the bravery required to disrupt them.(虽然这一系列电影质疑社会的分裂，但阿迪奥拉（Adeola）说，它也强调了disrupt这种分裂所需的勇气。)”中的让步状语从句从句“While the series of films questions the divisions in society”以及下文“He added that he hopes lwájú inspires audiences to find strength in unity and the courage to dream of change.(他还补充说：‘希望lwájú能激发观众在团结中找到力量和梦想改变的勇气。’)”可知， Adeola认为它也凸显了打破社会分裂需要的勇气。划线单词disrupt和“打破”意思相似。选项A“Break (打破)”；选项B“Obtain(获得)”；选项C“Estimate (估计)”；选项D“Distinguish (区分)”。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Adeola called lwájú “a love letter to Lagos” and said every frame praises the city’s diversity and spirit. The characters, he explained, represent typical types of Nigerian people and they wear clothing inspired by traditional African textiles (纺织品).( Adeola称lwájú是‘一封给Lagos的情书’，并表示每一帧画面都在赞美这座城市的多样性和精神。他解释说，这些人物代表了典型的尼日利亚人，他们穿着受非洲传统纺织品启发的服装。)”可知，这部电影非常有魅力，有吸引力；再根据文章最后一段“While the series of films questions the divisions in society, Adeola said it also highlights the bravery required to disrupt them. He added that he hopes lwájú inspires audiences to find strength in unity and the courage to dream of change.(虽然这一系列电影质疑社会的分裂，但阿迪奥拉说它也强调了打破这种分裂所需的勇气。他还补充说：‘希望lwájú能激发观众在团结中找到力量和梦想改变的勇气。’)”可知，这部它探索了社会不平等，并激发观众在团结中找到力量和梦想改变的勇气；由此可知，这部电影很有鼓舞性。故选C。
C
It is well established that eating vegetables is good for us. Why, then, do some people like them but others don’t A new study has found that other people’s likes and dislikes could play a part. According to the research, people who eat vegetables and show an obvious distaste for them can influence others.
A team of scientists in the UK set out to investigate how the facial expressions people make as they eat affect a person watching them. They asked more than 200 young women to watch videos of other adults eating raw broccoli. The people in the videos had different expressions while eating. They would smile, seem neutral (neither happy nor sad), or look disgusted by what they were tasting.
The study found that participants who watched someone else react with disgust while eating broccoli began to like broccoli less. The opposite was not true, however. When someone had a positive facial expression while eating broccoli, people watching them did not end up liking broccoli more.
Humans learn which behaviors, including eating, will benefit them by watching the reactions of others. Known as social modeling, this tendency can have a strong influence on people’s eating habits. Scientists believe that people might avoid food that appears disgusting because it could help protect them from eating something that tastes bad or could even be dangerous.
Although the research focused only on adults, experts think the results could also apply to children. This means that if children see their parents or siblings not enjoying certain foods, including vegetables, they might not want to eat them either. A previous study found that children between the ages of 4 and 6 were more likely to eat broccoli if they had seen video clips of adults enjoying it.
The team said further research is needed to understand more about how the behavior of adults influences children’s enjoyment of food. This could help experts find ways to encourage young people to eat more of the foods that are healthy for them.
8. What was the purpose of the UK scientists’ study
A. Assess young women’s eating habits.
B. Examine the effect of raw broccoli on people.
C. Investigate facial expressions during eating.
D. Study the impact of diners’ expressions on viewers.
9. What does social modeling in paragraph 4 refer to in the text
A. Correcting others’ behaviors.
B. Socializing one’s behaviors by learning from others.
C. Developing others’ eating habits.
D. Learning beneficial behaviors from observing others.
10. According to the text, what is the likely reason that children refuse to eat vegetables
A. Impact of friends. B. Influence of family members.
C. Personal taste preferences. D. Unpleasant taste of vegetables.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Developing Good Habits: The Importance of Modeling.
B. Impacting Food Preferences: The Power of Eating Habits.
C. Influencing Food Choices: The Power of Facial Reactions.
D. Encouraging Vegetable Consumption: The Importance of Healthy Eating.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章主要围绕一项关于人们吃蔬菜的喜好如何受到他人影响的研究进行了描述，包括研究方法、结果分析以及可能的影响等。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“A team of scientists in the UK set out to investigate how the facial expressions people make as they eat affect a person watching them. They asked more than 200 young women to watch videos of other adults eating raw broccoli. The people in the videos had different expressions while eating. (英国的一组科学家开始研究人们在吃东西时的面部表情是如何影响观察他们的人的。他们让200多名年轻女性观看其他成年人吃生西兰花的视频。视频中的人在吃东西的时候有着不同的表情。)”可知，英国的一组科学家着手研究人们在吃东西时做出的面部表情如何影响观看他们的人。他们让年轻女性观看其他成年人吃生西兰花的视频。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“Humans learn which behaviors, including eating, will benefit them by watching the reactions of others. Known as social modeling, this tendency can have a strong influence on people’s eating habits. Scientists believe that people might avoid food that appears disgusting because it could help protect them from eating something that tastes bad or could even be dangerous.(人类通过观察他人的反应来学习哪些行为（包括吃东西）对自己有益。这种趋势被称为social modeling，它会对人们的饮食习惯产生强烈的影响。科学家认为，人们可能会避免吃那些看起来很恶心的食物，因为这可以帮助他们避免吃那些味道不好甚至可能危险的东西。)”可知，social modeling（社会模型）指的是人们通过观察他人来学习并模仿那些他们认为有益或可取的行为。这里特别提到了父母、兄弟姐妹、朋友和同事作为社会模型的角色，孩子们通过观察和模仿他们的行为来学习。因此，这个“social modeling”指的是通过观察他人来学习有益的行为。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Although the research focused only on adults, experts think the results could also apply to children. This means that if children see their parents or siblings not enjoying certain foods, including vegetables, they might not want to eat them either.(虽然这项研究只针对成年人，但专家认为研究结果也适用于儿童。这意味着，如果孩子们看到他们的父母或兄弟姐妹不喜欢某些食物，包括蔬菜，他们可能也不想吃。)”可知，孩子们拒绝吃某种蔬菜可能是因为孩子们看到自己的父母或兄弟姐妹不喜欢某些蔬菜。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A new study has found that other people’s likes and dislikes could play a part. According to the research, people who eat vegetables and show an obvious distaste for them can influence others.(一项新研究发现，别人的好恶也会影响你的情绪。根据这项研究，吃蔬菜并表现出明显厌恶蔬菜的人可以影响其他人。)”以及全文内容可知，文章介绍了一项研究发现人们吃东西时表现出的喜好表情会影响其他人的食物选择；选项C“Influencing Food Choices: The Power of Facial Reactions.(影响食物选择：面部反应的力量。)” 准确地捕捉了文本的核心内容，即面部表情如何影响食物选择。故选C。
D
Europe’s series record-breaking hot and dry summers have broken an easy link to climate change. Climate models show Europe warms faster than the rest of the planet and the Arctic melting eventually causes massive ocean currents (洋流) and regional hot air circulation patterns.
Arctic melting is adding roughly 6000 cubic kilometers of water or more to the ocean per decade. As that fresh-water pours into the North Atlantic Ocean, it sits on top of heavier ocean salt-water and stops mixing. With less heat being stirred in from below, the surface water gets colder than usual during the fall and winter months, says Marilena Oltmanns, a climate scientist at the U.K. National Oceanography Centre. This phenomenon may explain the so-called “cold blob”, an area of sea in the North Atlantic that NASA nodeling suggests is one of the few spots on Earth getting colder.
To explore how the fresh water from Arctic ice might be affecting weather, Oltmanns and her colleagues developed a way to combine data from satellites, and weather stations. They found when the freshwater-caused cold blobs were more intense, the boundary was sharper, bringing more powerful westerly (向西的) winds. As a result, the stronger westerlies move a warm ocean flow from roughly 45°N to 60°N. That shift can continue into the next summer. And like a barrier, this warm current, curls up and around the British Isles, allowing a mass of hot, dry air to camp out over Europe.
“The study convincingly puts meat on the bones of an expectation I and others have had for a while — that the cold blob south of Greenland would influence North Atlantic weather patterns, as well as those downstream over Europe,” says Jennifer Francis, a climate scientist at Woodwell Climate Research Center.
12. What does the underlined word “cold blob” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Climate models. B. Ocean current.
C. Cold water zone. D. Air circulation patterns.
13. What does paragraph 3 focus on
A. Introduce the form of cold blob.
B. Present a phenomenon of climate changes in Europe.
C. Survey some data for the study.
D. Analyze the reason of hot and dry summer in Europe.
14. What is Jennifer’s attitude toward the study
A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
15. What can we infer from the passage
A. Human activities change climate models.
B. Arctic melting contributes to European heat waves.
C. Climate changes have little impact on ocean currents.
D. Global warming results in the rise of the temperature.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过对欧洲连续炎热干燥夏季与气候变化之间关联的探讨，以及北极融化对海洋和天气模式的影响进行了解释和说明。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文“an area of sea in the North Atlantic that NASA modeling suggests is one of the few spots on Earth getting colder.(美国宇航局模型显示北大西洋的一片海域是地球上为数不多的变冷的地方之一。)”可知，“This phenomenon may explain the so-called “cold blob”(这种现象或许可以解释所谓的cold blob)”中的cold blob指的是“冷水海域”。选项A“Climate models (气候模型)”；选项B“Ocean current (洋流)”；选项C“Cold water zone (冷水区)”；选项D“Air circulation patterns(空气循环模式)”。故选C。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“To explore how the fresh water from Arctic ice might be affecting weather, Oltmanns and her colleagues developed a way to combine data from satellites, and weather stations. They found when the freshwater-caused cold blobs were more intense, the boundary was sharper, bringing more powerful westerly (向西的) winds.

And like a barrier, this warm current, curls up and around the British Isles, allowing a mass of hot, dry air to camp out over Europe.(为了探索来自北极冰的淡水如何影响天气，oltmann和她的同事们开发了一种方法，将卫星和气象站的数据结合起来。他们发现，当淡水引起的冷团更强烈时，边界更尖锐，带来更强大的西风。结果，较强的西风带将温暖的洋流从北纬45度左右移动到北纬60度。这种转变可能会持续到明年夏天。这股暖流就像一道屏障一样，缠绕在不列颠群岛周围，让大量炎热干燥的空气在欧洲上空扎营。)”可知，第三段描述了北极冰融化产生的淡水如何可能影响欧洲的天气，特别是如何导致炎热干燥的夏天。它分析了北大西洋的“冷斑”现象，以及它如何与风和洋流相互作用，造成热干空气在欧洲上空滞留的条件。因此，该段的主要内容是分析欧洲炎热干燥夏季的原因。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““The study convincingly puts meat on the bones of an expectation I and others have had for a while — that the cold blob south of Greenland would influence North Atlantic weather patterns, as well as those downstream over Europe,” says Jennifer Francis, a climate scientist at Woodwell Climate Research Center.( Woodwell气候研究中心的气候科学家Jennifer Francis说：“这项研究令人信服地证实了我和其他人一段时间以来的预期——格陵兰岛以南的寒冷团将影响北大西洋的天气模式，以及欧洲下游的天气模式。”)”可知，Jennifer Francis认为这项研究为她和其他人长期以来的一个预期提供了有力的证据，即格陵兰岛南部的冷斑会影响北大西洋的天气模式以及下游的欧洲天气模式。因此，她对这项研究的态度是赞同的。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Climate models show Europe warms faster than the rest of the planet and the Arctic melting eventually causes massive ocean currents (洋流) and regional hot air circulation patterns.(气候模型显示，欧洲变暖的速度比地球上其他地区都要快，北极融化最终会导致巨大的洋流和区域热空气循环模式。)”、第二段中“Arctic melting is adding roughly 6000 cubic kilometers of water or more to the ocean per decade. As that fresh-water pours into the North Atlantic Ocean, it sits on top of heavier ocean salt-water and stops mixing. With less heat being stirred in from below, the surface water gets colder than usual during the fall and winter months, says Marilena Oltmanns, a climate scientist at the U.K. National Oceanography Centre. This phenomenon may explain the so-called “cold blob”(北极融化每十年向海洋中增加大约6000立方公里或更多的水。当淡水涌入北大西洋时，它会停留在较重的海洋盐水之上，停止混合。英国国家海洋学中心的气候科学家Marilena oltmann说，由于从海底进入的热量减少，在秋季和冬季，地表水比平时更冷。这一现象或许可以解释所谓的‘冷水区块’)”以及第三段中“They found when the freshwater-caused cold blobs were more intense, the boundary was sharper, bringing more powerful westerly (向西的) winds. As a result, the stronger westerlies move a warm ocean flow from roughly 45°N to 60°N. That shift can continue into the next summer.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Are insects drawn to light New research shows it’s confusion, not fatal attraction. Like a moth to flame, many scientists and poets have long assumed that flying insects were ____36____ (simple) drawn to bright lights. But that’s not exactly what’s going on, a new study ____37____ (suggest). Rather than being attracted to light, researchers believe that artificial lights at night may actually disturb flying insects’ inborn navigational systems, causing them ____38____ (fly) in confusion around street lights and other artificial beacons.
“Insects do not fly directly toward a light source, but actually bend their backs toward the light,” said Sam Fabian, ____39____ Imperial College London scientist and co-author of the study ____40____ (publish) in the journal Nature Communications. That would make sense if the strongest light source was in the sky. But in the presence of artificial lights, the result is confusion, not attraction.
For the study, researchers attached tiny sensors to moths and dragonflies in a lab to film “motion-capture” video of flight — similar ____41____ how filmmakers attach sensors to actors to track their movements. They also used high-resolution ____42____ (camera) to film insects circling around lights at a field site in Costa Rica.
This allowed ____43____ (they) to study how dragonflies will circle endlessly around light sources positioning themselves with their backs ____44____ (face) the beams. They also documented that some insects will flip upside down and often crash land in the presence of lights that shine straight upward like search lights.
“For millions of years, insects oriented themselves by sensing that the sky is light, the ground is dark until people invented artificial lights,” said Avalon Owens, a Harvard scientist ____45____ was not involved in the research.
【答案】36. simply
37. suggests
38. to fly 39. an
40. published

47. 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 I first moved to the new community, I found it difficult to adapt. Everything was unfamiliar, and I felt like an outsider in a place where everyone seemed to know each other.
One day, I returned from a morning walk with my dog. At the front door, I dug around in my pockets for the keys, only to realize that I had lost them. As all of them are tied together including my car key, I decided to return to the paths we’d taken. I spent an hour looking, brushing aside tall grasses, but the keys remained lost. I was beginning to get upset as I thought of the consequences of losing them, so I continued to retrace our steps, but in vain.
Back home again, I pulled the backup key from its hiding place, let myself in the house, and fell on the chair in exhaustion. The house key wasn’t that important as I had an extra. I had a spare car key, but there was often something wrong with it, and the key would be expensive to replace. The iron heart made by my grandson was precious beyond measure. Thinking of it being gone forever made tears come to my eyes.
That night, it turned colder and we had a snow. Suddenly I heard the noise of my car alarm from the garage. I rushed to the car, put the extra key into the door and finally opened it, and then I hurriedly tried my best to stop the alarm. I felt red-faced as I imagined my next-door neighbors being disturbed and annoyed.
I went back in the house but the alarm started again. I turned it off, went back inside, and the alarm sounded again. I repeated the process. Back in the house, I waited, but the next sound was the front doorbell. Thinking it was a neighbor ready to complain at me, I opened the door cautiously.
Paragraph 1: To my surprise, in the light snow stood three neighbors from several streets away.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Feeling grateful and relieved, I invited them inside for a cup of hot tea.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考例文：
To my surprise, in the light snow stood three neighbors from several streets away. The warmth and kindness radiating from their smiles instantly melted away any frustration I had felt earlier. With one of their gloved hand extended, I could see my keys hanging from a pointer finger like a small victory trophy. Overwhelmed with gratitude, I couldn’t help but embrace them tightly, conveying my deepest appreciation. Words failed me for a moment as I repeated, “Oh, my goodness! Thank you!” They explained that they had noticed my key’s alarm button and used it to locate my home. The joy of knowing that they had spared no effort to track down my keys filled my heart with a connection to my neighborhood.
Feeling grateful and relieved, I invited them inside for a cup of hot tea. As we sat around the fireplace, they shared stories of how the community came together in times of need. I felt a renewed sense of security knowing that I had not only found my keys but also discovered the true value of having caring neighbors. From that day on, we started hosting monthly gatherings where we talked about not only safety but also other matters of common interest. We created a sense of belonging and support, knowing that we have reliable neighbors who are willing to actively contribute to the well-being and security of our community.

For the first time in its 100-year history, Walt Disney Animation has cooperated with an outside animation studio on a project. The result is lwájú, an interesting and original six-part series set in a futuristic version of Lagos, Africa. It was created with the Pan-African entertainment company Kugali and premieres (首映) on Disney+ on February 28.
lwájú is a story about Tola, a young girl from a wealthy family, and her best friend, Kole, a self-taught tech expert, and their discovery of the secrets and dangers hidden in their different worlds. The show explores inequality and the idea of challenging society’s standards. Like the Disney+ series Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire, Marvel’s Black Panther films, and the Netflix animated series My Dad the Bounty Hunter, lwájú is part of a genre (体裁) called Afrofuturism. It combines elements of science fiction, the culture and history of Africa and Africans, fantasy, and a vision of a better future.
The series was directed by Adeola, “lwájú was born from my personal inspiration to tell a story about Lagos because one of the unique things I noticed is how the geography actually supports the societal divide in a way that is very obvious,” Adeola told in the interview, “In Lagos, the wealthy people live on the island, and the working class and poor people live on the mainland. So you literally see a body of water separating rich and poor. And so I thought that was a really interesting foundation upon which to build a science-fiction story.”
Adeola called lwájú “a love letter to Lagos” and said every frame praises the city’s diversity and spirit. The characters, he explained, represent typical types of Nigerian people and they wear clothing inspired by traditional African textiles (纺织品).
While the series of films questions the divisions in society, Adeola said it also highlights the bravery required to disrupt them. He added that he hopes lwájú inspires audiences to find strength in unity and the courage to dream of change.
4. What’s the similarity between lwájú and other Disney+ series according to the text
A. They are adventurous stories.
B. They explore inequality and challenge society’s standards.
C. They combine African traditional culture and futurism.
D. They are produced by Walt Disney Animation independently.
5. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. The society is rarely divided by geography.
B. Generally, upper class live on the mainland.
C. Adeola’s friend inspired him to film lwájú.
D. The poor and rich are separated quite clearly.
6 The underlined word “disrupt” can be replaced by ______.
A. Break. B. Obtain. C. Estimate. D. Distinguish.
7. Which of the following can best describe the film lwájú
A. Imaginary and humorous. B. Innovative and realistic.
C. Attractive and inspiring. D. Critical and multicultural.

It is well established that eating vegetables is good for us. Why, then, do some people like them but others don’t A new study has found that other people’s likes and dislikes could play a part. According to the research, people who eat vegetables and show an obvious distaste for them can influence others.
A team of scientists in the UK set out to investigate how the facial expressions people make as they eat affect a person watching them. They asked more than 200 young women to watch videos of other adults eating raw broccoli. The people in the videos had different expressions while eating. They would smile, seem neutral (neither happy nor sad), or look disgusted by what they were tasting.
The study found that participants who watched someone else react with disgust while eating broccoli began to like broccoli less. The opposite was not true, however. When someone had a positive facial expression while eating broccoli, people watching them did not end up liking broccoli more.
Humans learn which behaviors, including eating, will benefit them by watching the reactions of others. Known as social modeling, this tendency can have a strong influence on people’s eating habits. Scientists believe that people might avoid food that appears disgusting because it could help protect them from eating something that tastes bad or could even be dangerous.
Although the research focused only on adults, experts think the results could also apply to children. This means that if children see their parents or siblings not enjoying certain foods, including vegetables, they might not want to eat them either. A previous study found that children between the ages of 4 and 6 were more likely to eat broccoli if they had seen video clips of adults enjoying it.
The team said further research is needed to understand more about how the behavior of adults influences children’s enjoyment of food. This could help experts find ways to encourage young people to eat more of the foods that are healthy for them.
8. What was the purpose of the UK scientists’ study
A. Assess young women’s eating habits.
B. Examine the effect of raw broccoli on people.
C. Investigate facial expressions during eating.
D. Study the impact of diners’ expressions on viewers.
9. What does social modeling in paragraph 4 refer to in the text
A. Correcting others’ behaviors.
B. Socializing one’s behaviors by learning from others.
C. Developing others’ eating habits.
D. Learning beneficial behaviors from observing others.
10. According to the text, what is the likely reason that children refuse to eat vegetables
A. Impact of friends. B. Influence of family members.
C. Personal taste preferences. D. Unpleasant taste of vegetables.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Developing Good Habits: The Importance of Modeling.
B. Impacting Food Preferences: The Power of Eating Habits.
C. Influencing Food Choices: The Power of Facial Reactions.
D. Encouraging Vegetable Consumption: The Importance of Healthy Eating.

Europe’s series record-breaking hot and dry summers have broken an easy link to climate change. Climate models show Europe warms faster than the rest of the planet and the Arctic melting eventually causes massive ocean currents (洋流) and regional hot air circulation patterns.
Arctic melting is adding roughly 6000 cubic kilometers of water or more to the ocean per decade. As that fresh-water pours into the North Atlantic Ocean, it sits on top of heavier ocean salt-water and stops mixing. With less heat being stirred in from below, the surface water gets colder than usual during the fall and winter months, says Marilena Oltmanns, a climate scientist at the U.K. National Oceanography Centre. This phenomenon may explain the so-called “cold blob”, an area of sea in the North Atlantic that NASA nodeling suggests is one of the few spots on Earth getting colder.
To explore how the fresh water from Arctic ice might be affecting weather, Oltmanns and her colleagues developed a way to combine data from satellites, and weather stations. They found when the freshwater-caused cold blobs were more intense, the boundary was sharper, bringing more powerful westerly (向西的) winds. As a result, the stronger westerlies move a warm ocean flow from roughly 45°N to 60°N. That shift can continue into the next summer. And like a barrier, this warm current, curls up and around the British Isles, allowing a mass of hot, dry air to camp out over Europe.
“The study convincingly puts meat on the bones of an expectation I and others have had for a while — that the cold blob south of Greenland would influence North Atlantic weather patterns, as well as those downstream over Europe,” says Jennifer Francis, a climate scientist at Woodwell Climate Research Center.
12. What does the underlined word “cold blob” in paragraph 2 mean
A Climate models. B. Ocean current.
C. Cold water zone. D. Air circulation patterns.
13. What does paragraph 3 focus on
A Introduce the form of cold blob.
B. Present a phenomenon of climate changes in Europe.
C. Survey some data for the study.
D. Analyze the reason of hot and dry summer in Europe.
14. What is Jennifer’s attitude toward the study
A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
15 What can we infer from the passage
A. Human activities change climate models.
B. Arctic melting contributes to European heat waves.
C. Climate changes have little impact on ocean currents.
D. Global warming results in the rise of the temperature.

Are insects drawn to light New research shows it’s confusion, not fatal attraction. Like a moth to flame, many scientists and poets have long assumed that flying insects were ____36____ (simple) drawn to bright lights. But that’s not exactly what’s going on, a new study ____37____ (suggest). Rather than being attracted to light, researchers believe that artificial lights at night may actually disturb flying insects’ inborn navigational systems, causing them ____38____ (fly) in confusion around street lights and other artificial beacons.
“Insects do not fly directly toward a light source, but actually bend their backs toward the light,” said Sam Fabian, ____39____ Imperial College London scientist and co-author of the study ____40____ (publish) in the journal Nature Communications. That would make sense if the strongest light source was in the sky. But in the presence of artificial lights, the result is confusion, not attraction.
For the study, researchers attached tiny sensors to moths and dragonflies in a lab to film “motion-capture” video of flight — similar ____41____ how filmmakers attach sensors to actors to track their movements. They also used high-resolution ____42____ (camera) to film insects circling around lights at a field site in Costa Rica.
This allowed ____43____ (they) to study how dragonflies will circle endlessly around light sources, positioning themselves with their backs ____44____ (face) the beams. They also documented that some insects will flip upside down and often crash land in the presence of lights that shine straight upward like search lights.
“For millions of years, insects oriented themselves by sensing that the sky is light, the ground is dark until people invented artificial lights,” said Avalon Owens, a Harvard scientist ____45____ was not involved in the research.

When I first moved to the new community, I found it difficult to adapt. Everything was unfamiliar, and I felt like an outsider in a place where everyone seemed to know each other.
One day, I returned from a morning walk with my dog. At the front door, I dug around in my pockets for the keys, only to realize that I had lost them. As all of them are tied together including my car key, I decided to return to the paths we’d taken. I spent an hour looking, brushing aside tall grasses, but the keys remained lost. I was beginning to get upset as I thought of the consequences of losing them, so I continued to retrace our steps, but in vain.
Back home again, I pulled the backup key from its hiding place, let myself in the house, and fell on the chair in exhaustion. The house key wasn’t that important as I had an extra. I had a spare car key, but there was often something wrong with it, and the key would be expensive to replace. The iron heart made by my grandson was precious beyond measure. Thinking of it being gone forever made tears come to my eyes.
That night, it turned colder and we had a snow. Suddenly I heard the noise of my car alarm from the garage. I rushed to the car, put the extra key into the door and finally opened it, and then I hurriedly tried my best to stop the alarm. I felt red-faced as I imagined my next-door neighbors being disturbed and annoyed.
I went back in the house but the alarm started again. I turned it off, went back inside, and the alarm sounded again. I repeated the process. Back in the house, I waited, but the next sound was the front doorbell. Thinking it was a neighbor ready to complain at me, I opened the door cautiously.
Paragraph 1: To my surprise, in the light snow stood three neighbors from several streets away.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Feeling grateful and relieved, I invited them inside for a cup of hot tea.
