Earthworms don’t move fast. But humans can accelerate the worms’ spread. Fishermen often use invasive(蔓延性的) earthworms to catch fish. Many have introduced invasive earthworms to rivers, streams and lakes previously unexposed to these animals. Gardeners who use earthworms to make their soil rich may unknowingly introduce invasive ones. The worms even give rides in the mud on wheels, potted plants and road materials shipped around the nation.
But they’re not everywhere yet. In the Great Lakes region, “20 percent of the land is earthworm-free,” says Cindy Hale, a research biologist. Of the remaining 80 percent of land, half of the land has fewer than two earthworm species-meaning there isn’t yet too much impact on the ecosystem, she explains. For these regions, she says, now is the time to take action. According to Hale, educating the public, especially fishermen, is one approach to stopping the spread of invasive earthworms. Identifying which lands are currently earthworm-free is another.
Ryan Hueffmeier, a program coordinator for Great Lakes Worm Watch, has been working on a model that will help create large maps of areas with minimal(最小的) or no damage from earthworms. Ultimately, landowners can use it to identify earthworm activity on their property. once identified, lands with minimal or no earthworm damage should be protected.
But scientists suspect that once invasive earthworms arrive they can’t be removed. And even if all could be, affected forests might never return to the way they were. “It’s very much a story of learning to live with them,” concludes Lee Frelich of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Forest Ecology.
Forest ecologists have called earthworms “ecosystem engineers” because they can change or create habitats that otherwise would not be present. Whether this is a good thing depends on the situation.
“What the earthworms do and how we value it is what really matters.” said Hale. “In one place-farm fields or gardens-we really like European earthworms and what they do, so we consider them good. In native hardwood forests, we really don’t like what they do-so we consider them bad. You really have to understand how an organism(微生物) affects an ecosystem. Things aren’t black and white.”
24．Why are fishermen and gardeners mentioned in the first paragraph
A．To attract more people to fishing and gardening.
B．To introduce different uses of invasive earthworms.
C．To stress the importance of invasive earthworms to humans.
D．To show humans’ effect on the spread of invasive earthworms.
25．What is Hale’s advice on protecting the Great Lakes region from invasive earthworms
A．Finding out areas free of earthworms.
B．Extending a ban on the fishing industry.
C．Making maps of areas with most earthworms.
D．Informing the public of different earthworm species.
26．What is Hale’s attitude towards invasive earthworms
A．Objective. B．Positive.
C．Ambiguous. D．Doubtful.
27．Where is the text probably from
A．A biology textbook. B．An official report.
C．A science magazine. D．A research paper.

French children 15 and under will no longer be allowed to bring smart devices to school. Lawmakers in France voted recently to ban all phones, tablets, and other Internet-connected devices from school grounds. The ban will start in September, “These days, the children don't play at break time anymore,” Jean-Michel Blanquer, France's education minister, said. “They are just all in front of their smartphones, and from an educational point of view, that's a problem. Some strict measures must be taken immediately.” A 2010 law bad already banned smartphones during "all teaching activity" in France. But the new rules say smartphones and tablets are not allowed even during breaks. Students who bring these digital devices to school have to keep them in their backpacks and turned off, If they want to call their parents, schools will help. However, the new law doesn’t forbid students to turn to them during extra-curricular activities. It also makes an exception for disabled students.
Alexis Corbiere is a French politician. He said the effort to make such a law should have been put to something else because teachers have already carried out this rule so far. “I don't know a single teacher in this country that allows the use of phones in class and in school, ” he told French news channel BFMTV.
How about smartphones in American schools According to a study by the National Center for Education Statistics, about 66% of public schools banned devices in 2019, which was down from 91% in 2009. Why the change Liz Kolb, a professor at the University of Michigan School of Education, said that parents are concerned about security in schools. "In the rare case that something may occur, " she said, "the belief by some parents is that a cell phone could be a useful tool for safety."
28．What does the underlined word "them" in paragraph 1 refer to
A．Disabled students.
B．Digital devices.

D．Students' parents.

The hottest year on record is coming to a close, emissions of planet-warming gases are still rising globally, and the most ambitious climate goal set by world leaders is all but impossible to meet, according to a new analysis by the United Nations.
Between 2021 and 2022, global greenhouse gas emissions grew about 1%, the analysis finds. Emissions need to fall as quickly as possible to avoid catastrophic climate impacts such as uncontrollable sea level rise, unsurvivable heat in some areas and mass extinction of plants and animals.
Right now, the world is headed for at least 4.5℉ of warming this century compared to global temperatures in the late 1800s. It is assumed that countries will do everything they have currently promised under the Paris Agreement, including things that some governments have said they’ll only do if wealthy countries follow through on promises to help foot the bill, for example, helping to pay for renewable energy infrastructure in less wealthy nations. If such conditions aren’t met, the planet is headed for more than 5°F of warming, the analysis finds.
The new range is ever so slightly lower than predicted in last year’s analysis, which reflects the very slow progress that humanity is making on slowing emissions and controlling future warming. Even the lower end of the current projected temperature range — 4.5°F of warming — is extremely high. And the lower target is likely out of reach entirely at this point — a finding that is backed up by another recent study.
The new analysis emphasizes once again that controlling oil, gas and coal operations is key to controlling global warming. It finds that, if humans extract (提取) and burn all the oil, gas and coal currently in development worldwide, countries would collectively emit enough greenhouse gases to basically hit the higher temperature target under the Paris Agreement. That means all new oil, gas and coal extraction is essentially incompatible (对立的) with avoiding harmful warming later this century. Right now, many countries including the United States are still allowing new fossil fuel extraction.
32．What does the underlined word “catastrophic” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Limited. B．Invisible. C．Ruinous. D．Controllable.
33．What is a worrying situation the world faces now according to the text
A．Solutions to global warming aren’t clear.
B．The world is heading to a warmer future.
C．Countries are unwilling to make promises.
D．The temperature target is unrealistically high.
34．What is the author’s attitude towards the USA’s current move
A．Indifferent. B．Optimistic. C．Cautious. D．Critical.
35．What is the text mainly about
A．A new analysis is calling for all the countries to reach an agreement.
B．Fossil fuel extraction control is far from a solution to pollution.
C．The huge impacts of global warming are predictable but uncontrollable.
D．The world is far behind on controlling planet-warming pollution.

We’ve all been there—you’ve sent a message and it’s marked “read”, but you haven’t heard anything back. What’s the deal While being left on read (已读不回) can be confusing, it’s also pretty common. 36 Here are a few tips.
Expect the best. Remind yourself that the person is probably just busy. Ask yourself if you actually know their schedule. There could be some time commitments you aren’t aware of. Here are a few other reasons for a delayed response. 37 They put their phone away to focus on work or school. They accidentally forgot to reply. Maybe they thought about what they wanted to say but didn’t actually text it.
Resist the temptation (诱惑) to double-text. 38 If you send a lot of follow-up texts, it’ll be hard for them to keep up and they might get stressed. Leave them with just one text to catch up on—the other person will probably appreciate your patience.
Read over your previous messages. See if there are any confusing texts that you need to clarify. It’s okay if you review your message again and notice that it might have been a little unclear—it happens! 39
40 Keep it out of sight and get some peace of mind. Don’t let it upset or confuse you. If you get your mind off any notifications, you’ll be able to brainstorm new ways to spend your time.
A．Put your phone away.
B．Fix your attention closely on text responses.
C．Give them a little space so they have a chance to reply.
D．They want to give you a longer response but can’t right now.
E．Ask yourself why being left on “read” frustrates or confuses you.
F．You can keep the situation from bothering you until you hear back.
G．You might feel relieved when you find something that is easy to misread.

If you want to stand out, 10,000 hours of training will take you much further than your natural abilities. Mozart is considered by many as the greatest composer who ever lived. Traditionally, many people 41 outstanding achievements like Mozart’s are due to talent, or even inborn inspiration or 42 .
This assumption holds especially true for child prodigies (神童) like Mozart whose music talent 43 the world at the age of six. But looking more 44 at this phenomenon, we find that these individuals actually had to practice countless hours before showing their 45 remarkable talent. In fact, scientists indicate that a prodigy’s training typically 46 at a very early age, with massive time invested in practice.
For example, when the six-year-old Mozart toured Europe to 47 his brilliant piano skills, he had already 48 3,500 hours of musical training. If you compare this to other pianists who have practiced for as long, Mozart’s 49 wasn’t all that exceptional. It seems that outstanding abilities come from intensive strict practice 50 natural talents. A study shows the only factor directly 51 the students’ level of achievement was the amount of serious practice time: the most 52 performers had practiced for an average of 10,000 hours, while the least skilled had only 4,000 hours of practice. What’s even more revealing is that there were no 53 : All of the top performers had 54 great efforts to their practice. It seems that no extraordinary talent can 55 without tough practice.

67．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。
Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You are my knight in shining armor.”
He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say, “You got that right.” The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, and his lips began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say ”
The ticket lady again quoted the price. The man didn’t have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn around and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understood how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.
Paragraph 1：
Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
That day I went back home with my father without any tickets, except a valuable lesson.

(她说，对于这些地区来说，现在是采取行动的时候了。据Hale说，教育公众，尤其是渔民，是阻止入侵蚯蚓蔓延的一种方法。确定哪些陆地目前没有蚯蚓是另一种方法。)”可知，对于保护五大湖地区免受入侵蚯蚓的侵害，Hale认为应该要找出没有蚯蚓的陆地。故选A项。
26．推理判断题。根据最后一段中““What the earthworms do and how we value it is what really matters.” said Hale. “In one place-farm fields or gardens-we really like European earthworms and what they do, so we consider them good. In native hardwood forests, we really don’t like what they do-so we consider them bad. You really have to understand how an organism(微生物) affects an ecosystem. Things aren’t black and white.”(“蚯蚓的行为以及我们如何评价它才是真正重要的。” Hale说。“在一个地方——农田或花园——我们真的很喜欢欧洲蚯蚓和它们的作用，所以我们认为它们很好。在原生阔叶林中，我们真的不喜欢它们的行为——所以我们认为它们是有害的。你必须了解有机体是如何影响生态系统的。事情并不是非黑即白。”)”可知，Hale对入侵蚯蚓持客观的态度。故选A项。
27．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Earthworms don’t move fast. But humans can accelerate the worms’ spread. (蚯蚓移动不快。但是人类可以加速蚯蚓的蔓延。)”；第二段中“But they’re not everywhere yet. (但它们还不是到处都有。)”以及下文生物学家对此现象的相关看法，可知，本文最可能出自一本科学杂志上。故选C项。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了智能设备尤其是手机的盛行给学生带来的严重影响，法国最近通过了一项新的法令：禁止15岁以下的学生在校使用手机，哪怕在休息时也不可以使用。由此引发了一些人不同的看法。
28．词义猜测题。第一段中划线词句上一句“Students who bring these digital devices to school have to keep them in their backpacks and turned off, if they want to call their parents, schools will help.(把这些数码设备带到学校的学生必须把它们放在书包里，并关掉，如果他们想给父母打电话，学校会提供帮助)”说明学生可以把这些数码设备带到学校关掉不能使用，再根据划线词句“However, the new law doesn’t forbid students to turn to them during extra-curricular activities.(然而，新法律并不禁止学生在课外活动中求助于them)”转折的语义可以推断，划线单词“them”指代上文的“数码设备”。故选B项。
29．推理判断题。根据第二段中“He said the effort to make such a law should have been put to something else because teachers have already carried out this rule so far.(他说，制定这样一项法律的努力应该放在其他方面，因为到目前为止，教师们已经执行了这项规定)”以及Alexis Corbiere所说“I don't know a single teacher in this country that allows the use of phones in class and in school.(我不知道这个国家有哪位老师允许在课堂和学校里使用手机)”可以推断， Alexis Corbiere认为没有必要制定对智能手机的新法令。故选A项。
30．推理判断题。根据第三段中“According to a study by the National Center for Education Statistics, about 66% of public schools banned devices in 2019, which was down from 91% in 2009.(美国国家教育统计中心的一项研究显示，2019年约66%的公立学校禁止使用电子设备，较2009年的91%有所下降)”可知，在美国2009年, 禁用手机的学校占91%, 但到了2019 年, 该数字降到了66%。由此可知，在美国学校使用手机现象又回归了。故选A项。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“French children 15 and under will no longer be allowed to bring smart devices to school. Lawmakers in France voted recently to ban all phones, tablets, and other Internet-connected devices from school grounds.(法国15岁及以下的儿童将不再被允许携带智能设备上学。法国议员最近投票禁止所有手机、平板电脑和其他联网设备进入学校)”可知，本文主要介绍了法国最近通过新法令在学校严格推行禁用手机等电子设备：15岁以下的学生在学校即使在休息时也不能使用手机。选项C“法国在学校发出了号召（禁用手机）”突出主题，简明扼要，适合做标题。故选C项。
32．C 33．B 34．D 35．D
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了全世界在控制全球变暖方面所做的努力还远远不够。
32．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“Emissions need to fall as quickly as possible to avoid catastrophic climate impacts such as uncontrollable sea level rise, unsurvivable heat in some areas and mass extinction of plants and animals.(排放量需要尽快下降，以避免catastrophic气候影响，如无法控制的海平面上升、某些地区无法生存的高温以及动植物的大规模灭绝。)”中的“such as uncontrollable sea level rise, unsurvivable heat in some areas and mass extinction of plants and animals(比如无法控制的海平面上升，某些地区无法生存的高温，以及动植物的大规模灭绝)”可推知，划线词所在句子表示“排放量需要尽快下降，以避免灾难性的气候影响，如无法控制的海平面上升、某些地区无法生存的高温以及动植物的大规模灭绝”，划线词catastrophic意为“灾难性的，毁灭性的”，和ruinous意思相近。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Right now, the world is headed for at least 4.5℉ of warming this century compared to global temperatures in the late 1800s.(目前，与19世纪后期的全球气温相比，本世纪的全球气温至少上升了4.5华氏度。)”和“If such conditions aren’t met, the planet is headed for more than 5°F of warming, the analysis finds.(分析发现，如果不满足这些条件，地球的温度将上升5华氏度以上。)”可知，世界正在变暖。故选B。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“That means all new oil, gas and coal extraction is essentially incompatible (对立的) with avoiding harmful warming later this century. Right now, many countries including the United States are still allowing new fossil fuel extraction.(这意味着所有新的石油、天然气和煤炭开采基本上都与避免本世纪晚些时候有害的变暖不相容。目前，包括美国在内的许多国家仍在允许开采新的化石燃料。)”可推知，作者对美国的做法持批判的态度。故选D。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The hottest year on record is coming to a close, emissions of planet-warming gases are still rising globally, and the most ambitious climate goal set by world leaders is all but impossible to meet, according to a new analysis by the United Nations.(联合国的一项最新分析显示，有记录以来最热的一年即将结束，全球温室气体排放量仍在上升，世界各国领导人设定的最雄心勃勃的气候目标几乎不可能实现。)”可知，本文主要讲的是联合国的一项最新分析揭示了全球气候变化的严峻形势。分析指出，尽管有记录以来最热的一年即将结束，但全球温室气体排放量仍在上升，使得世界各国领导人设定的最雄心勃勃的气候目标几乎无法实现，因此本文主旨是D选项“The world is far behind on controlling planet-warming pollution.(在控制导致地球变暖的污染方面，世界远远落后。)”。故选D。
36．F 37．D 38．C 39．G 40．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当别人阅读你的信息后，不回复你时，要学会心平气和的面对，不要让社交软件影响到你的生活。
36．根据后文“Here are a few tips.(这里有一些建议)”以及前文“it’s also pretty common.(这种情况很常见）”可知，空处应该是承上启下说明可以应用这些建议避免被影响，所以F项“You can keep the situation from bothering you until you hear back.(你可以避免这种情况困扰你)”符合文意。故选F项。
37．根据上文“Here are a few other reasons for a delayed response.(以下是延迟响应的其他一些原因。)”以及下文“They put their phone away to focus on work or school. They accidentally forgot to reply. Maybe they thought about what they wanted to say but didn’t actually text it. (他们把手机收起来，专注于工作或学习。他们不小心忘了回复。也许他们想到了他们想说什么，但实际上并没有发短信。)”可知，空处是延迟响应的可能原因，与D项“They want to give you a longer response but can’t right now. (他们想给你更长的回复，但现在不能)”上下文一致，符合文意。故选D项。
38．根据前文“Resist the temptation to double- text.(不要信息轰炸对方)”以及后文“If you send a lot of follow- up texts, it’ll be hard for them to keep up and they might get stressed. Leave them with just one text to catch up on—the other person will probably appreciate your patience.(如果你发了很多后续短信，他们很难跟上，他们可能会感到压力。只给他们留一条信息，让他们跟上进度——对方可能会感激你的耐心)”可知，本段讲述不要一直给对方发信息，要给对方一些时间，让他们跟上你的信息，所以C项“Give them a little space so they have a chance to reply.(给他们一点空间，让他们有机会回答)”符合文意。故选C项。
39．根据段首句“Read over your previous messages. (阅读你之前的信息)”，及上文“See if there are any confusing texts that you need to clarify. It’s okay if you review your message again and notice that it might have been a little unclear—it happens! (看看是否有什么令人困惑的文本需要澄清。如果你再次查看你的信息，并注意到它可能有点不清楚，这是没有关系的——这种情况发生了!)可知，再次查看信息可能会发现一些被误读的东西，与G项“You might feel relieved when you find something that is easy to misread.(可能会感到宽慰，当你发现了一些容易被误读的东西)”上下文一致，符合文意。故选G项。
40．根据下句“Keep it out of sight and get some peace of mind.(把它放在你看不到的地方，让你的内心平静下来)”以及后文“Don’t let it upset or confuse you. If you get your mind off any notifications, you’ll be able to brainstorm new ways to spend your time.(不要让它困扰或迷惑你。如果你不去想任何通知，你就能头脑风暴出新的打发时间的方法)”可知，本段主题是把手机放到一边，眼不见，心不烦。与其纠结为什么会被“已读不回”，不如放下手机，做些更有意义的事。所以A项“Put your phone away.(把手机收起来)”起到概括作用，符合文意。故选A项。

67．One possible version:
Paragraph 1：
Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. Then he picked it up and tapped the father on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, out of your pocket fell this bill.” The man turned around and saw the money. He stood silently for a second, feeling confused. But soon, he knew what was going on. Holding my dad’s hand in both of his hands and keeping a tight grip on the bill, his eyes lit up with gratitude. With his lips shaking and something shining in his eyes, he replied in a low voice, “Thank you, Sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
Paragraph 2：
That day I went back home with my father without any tickets, except a valuable lesson. Surely, the man wasn’t begging for a handout. However, it was a desperate, heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a proud father who wished nothing but highlight his children’s life just with the circus! Dad stepped forward and offered his warm hands with respect. What my dad did show me that being wealthy is not just about money.
