二、阅读理解
We experience different forms of the Sun’s energy every day. We can see its light and feel its warmth. The Sun is the major source of evaporation of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms on the Earth.
Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the Earth’s surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earth’s surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.
Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earth’s surface back to the Earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.
When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. For example, you’ve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. Snow reflects most of the energy from the Sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. Dark-coloured surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air.
21．According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the Earth is ______.
A．the atmosphere surrounding the Earth B．water from oceans and lakes
C．energy from the Sun D．greenhouse gases in the sky
22．Only a small part of the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s surface because most of it _______________.
A．absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphere
B．reflected by the gases in the upper atmosphere
C．lost in the upper and lower atmosphere
D．used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes
23．We learn from the passage that _______________.
A．all living things on the Earth depend on the Sun for their food
B．a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energy
C．only 0.023% of the energy from the Sun is made use of on the Earth
D．greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the Earth’s surface
Thanks to its super walkable historic center and handy square of famous museums, Amsterdam is practically made for two-day trips.
Day 1
Morning
Start your day off in the Centrum with breakfast in the charming courtyard cafe De Koffieschenkerij, situated within the De OudeChurch, Amsterdam’s oldest building. After that, wander the surrounding streets and take in Amsterdam’s oldest buildings, and streets, like Nieuwendijk, a busy pedestrian shopping street. From here, continue south to Dam Square to see the massive Royal Palace.
Afternoon
Cross over to the Flower Market, which has been selling tulips since the mid-1800s. Then you’ll want to make your way to the Anne Frank House, where Anne Frank and her family hid during World War II. This is one of the city’s most visited sights, so you have to pre-book a timed ticket online.
Day 2
Morning
Kick off your day at Rijksmuseum, the national museum of the Netherlands. Get there right
at 9 a.m. when it opens to head off the crowds. Head directly to admire the famed 17th-century Golden Age paintings from the likes of Vermeer and Rembrandt.
Afternoon
Grab lunch at one of the food trucks on Museumplein. If you want to rest your feet a little longer, hit up The Burger Room, a Wizard of Oz-themed restaurant around the corner. Refueled and ready for more, cross the street to the Van Gogh Museum, which holds the largest collection of the famed artist’s works. Tickets will sell out fast, so be sure to book your timed entry.
After you’ve been thoroughly blown away by Post-Impressionism, take the tram to Sampurna, a long-running Dutch restaurant,trying their signature dishes — “Erwtensoep” and “Pannenkoeken”.
24．When will you walk around the old streets
A．On the morning of Day 1. B．On the afternoon of Day 1.
C．On the morning of Day 2. D．On the afternoon of Day 2.
25．Which sights do you need to book in advance
A．De Oude Church & Anne Frank House. B．Royal Palace & Rijksmuseum.
C．Anne Frank House & Van Gogh Museum. D．Rijksmuseum& Van Gogh Museum.
26．Where might this text probably be taken from
A．A history book. B．A travel brochure.
C．A business journal. D．A museum introduction.
QR (Quick Response) codes can be found everywhere. You can even find a number of them distributed throughout this magazine, each skillfully different from the last. They are a development of the bar code, and a necessity in the digital age. However, you might not know where they come from.
If it hadn’t been for Hara Masahiro, QR codes might not have entered the mainstream at all. He was working for Japanese company Denso wave in the 1990s, when the limitations of bar codes were becoming apparent. They could only hold 20 characters of information, but the increasing efficiency of technology required a code with more capacity. Inspired by the black and white pieces on a Go board, Hara created a square pattern that included positional information
telling the scanner which way to read it. As a result, QR codes can store information both horizontally (水平地) and vertically, packing a considerable amount of information into a relatively small space.
After Hara’s breakthrough, it took some time before QR codes began to be commonplace. At first, they were used in automobile manufacturing (自动化生产), where manufacturers in other industries quickly found that the code’s ability to contain so much detail was great for efficiency, as well as helped them respond to consumer demands for greater transparency (透明度) in production and shipping, and this led to the codes becoming more widespread.
Another thing that boosted their popularity was Denso wave’s decision to make QR code specifications public so anyone could use them. Hara and his fellow developers wanted everyone not only to access the codes, but to also come up with new ways to implement them. As for what the future holds for QR codes, Hara says, “Black and white codes have become so common now. I’d like to create more spectacular codes that can stimulate people.”
27．Why was QR code created
A．To reduce the cost of production.
B．To increase safety of business trade.
C．To satisfy the demand of increasing efficiency.
D．To improve the convenience of living efficiency.
28．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The widespread of QR codes. B．The advantage of QR codes.
C．The advancement of QR codes. D．The application of QR codes.
29．What is Hara’s attitude toward the future of QR codes
A．Negative. B．Unclear. C．Doubtful. D．Hopeful.
30．What is the best title of the text
A．QR codes: Particularly Popular B．QR codes: Especially complicated
C．QR codes: An invention by accident D．QR codes: An outcome of hard work

In the face of wildlife loss and habitat destruction, it’s easy to feel powerless to improve. But any action you take, no matter how small, will help restore the world to its natural balance. Here are 4 things you can do to help wildlife.
Think twice before landscaping.
34 But unless you’re confronting a genuine safety issue, remember that what’s unpleasant to you is sweet home to squirrels, birds, worms and other animals that you might not even know are there. If you must landscape your yard, do so in a way that won’t drive away native wildlife.
Keep your cats indoors.
It’s ironic that many people who claim to love wildlife have no problem allowing their cats to roam freely outside. Cats are animals, too. 35 Outdoor cats, however, don’t think twice about killing wild birds. In case you’re thinking about “warning” the birds by attaching a bell to your cat’s collar, don’t bother: Birds have an inborn tendency to flee loud, startling noises, not jingling pieces of metal.
Don’t feed any animals but birds.
That deer that wanders into your backyard might look hungry and helpless. 36 Giving food to animals accustoms them to human contact, but not all human beings are as warmhearted as you are. Feeding wild birds, on the other hand. is OK as long as you don’t have outdoor cats and you provide a meal in keeping with the bird’s natural diet. 37
Clean up litter (not only your own).
If you’re concerned about protecting wildlife, you know better than to litter. But it’s not enough to keep your own yard or picnic area clean. You should go the extra mile and pick up cans and bottles left by other people. 38
A．Choose nuts and seeds rather than processed bread.
B．It seems cruel to keep them shut up inside the house.
C．However, if you feed it, you won’t be doing it any favors.
D．Most people don’t want wild animals to destroy their roses.
E．Smal animals can easily get trapped in or injured by this litter.
F．If you have the space, establishing a “mini meadow (草地)” as a border or boundary area is another effective way to attract birds, as well as beneficial insects.
G．If you have just purchased a house or a piece of land, you might be tempted to chop (砍) down unsightly trees.

I was the new teacher at school, and Clarissa, a fifth-grader, was messy. Clarissa saw no need for 39 . “It’s my space!” was most often her 40 when requested by classmates. So the days went by and the 41 began to worsen.

“It’s for your things if you feel like you need it,” I said 50 , busying myself with papers on my desk.
Clarissa spent the rest of the year keeping her things together in her space. 51 was at hand in our classroom. A beaten-up old cabinet gave a gift to this child, the gift of 52 a different path for someone to walk who might be 53 in some way.

It has no cognitive limitations, removing the perceptual (感性)thinking consciousness and left with the rational algorithm only. In fact, such strong AI like MOSS, does not exist in reality for 55 time being.
Nevertheless, weaker AI, 56 replaces human processing in a specific field, has already been imperceptibly (不知不觉)integrated into our daily life.

It was just another boring day for Jamie, a third-grader. He sat in his English class, mindlessly doodling on his notebook.
“Jamie Turner, please report to the principal’s office immediately.”
Jamie’s heart sank. With his mind racing, Jamie grabbed his backpack and made the long walk down the hallway to the principal’s office, avoiding eye contact with fellow students. As he walked, he searched his brain for any possible explanations for why he was being called.
Jamie finally reached the principal’s office. He took a deep breath and pushed it open, bracing himself for the worst.
To his surprise, he found the principal, Mr. Harrison who was wearing a giant yellow chicken hat on his head, standing on his desk and waving his arms as if he were trying to fly!
Jamie’s mouth fell open at the sight, too stunned to speak.
“Jamie, sit down,” Mr. Harrison exclaimed, gesturing him to take a seat. “I’ve called you here because we’ve been having some complaints about your behavior. You’ve been… too funny.”
Jamie’s jaw dropped further. Was that really the reason he was called to the principal’s office
The principal continued, his tone serious, “Now, we take our education very seriously here, and while we appreciate a good sense of humor, we have to draw the line somewhere. We cannot have students disturbing the learning environment with their… their humor.”
Jamie couldn’t help it—he burst out laughing, doubling over in his seat as he gasped for breath.
Finally, Jamie managed to compose himself enough to speak. “I’m sorry, sir, it’s just… I can’t stop laughing at the thought of getting in trouble for laughing… and your hat! It’s ridiculous!”
The principal frowned, “Well, I’m glad you find it funny. But your teachers don’t.”
Jamie nodded seriously, trying to contain his laughter. “I understand, sir. I’ll be less funny in class.” “Um, Mr. Harrison, why are you wearing a chicken hat ” Jamie asked, unable to contain his curiosity.
“Oh, today is Animal Day for the first-graders.” Mr. Harrisjon grinned.

W: Hi, everyone. This is the monthly meeting of our club. We’ve been fortunate to have got good advice from some famous athletes on how to improve our skills and build up our body.
Today, we’ll hear something different. We’re honoured to have Emma Wilson here. Emma is a health expert and lecturer from UBC, the University of British Columbia. Emma worked for a football team in Manchester, then for a very successful rugby team in Dublin, and finally ended up working here in Vancouver. Emma says it’s challenging to be a health expert, because people can be easily influenced by advertisements that lack scientific support. Also, people aren’t willing to change their views about food and nutrition as there is so much confusing information online. It’s really important to hear what experts say, and that’s why we’ve invited Emma here. She isn’t going to tell us about everything we should eat. But, she will teach us to make better choices. Let’s welcome Emma Wilson.

31．推理判断题。主要介绍了几款户外活动装备背包，鞋子和衣服。文章Vasque Breeze gets sustainable update部分“The well-established Vasque Breeze hiking boot has been modernised with environmentally friendly materials. (Vasque Breeze登山靴采用环保材料进行了现代化改造。)”可知这篇文章的目标读者可能是户外爱好者，故选B。
32．细节理解题。文章Vasque Breeze gets sustainable update部分“It’s now made with recycled polyester and is the first boot to have a VasqueDry Waterproof membrane, which is made from 25% recycled materials. (它现在由回收聚酯纤维制成，是第一款采用VasqueDry防水膜的靴子，该防水膜由25%的回收材料制成。)”可知根据短文，陈述是正确的的是Vasque Breeze登山靴既环保又防水，故选C。
33．细节理解题。文章Scarpa upgrades its Maestrale boots部分“Creating a Re-Made boot from Polymer emits 27% less carbon dioxide than creating a “classic” boot from plant-based Pebax Rnew, which emits 32% less carbon dioxide than Fossil-based Plastics.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为了帮助野生动物，你可以做到的四件事。
【详解】1. 此句是第二段的段首句，其作用应该是引出本段小标题要表达的意思。结合小标题“Think twice before landscaping.(在改造之前要三思。)”与最后一句“If you must landscape your yard, do so in a way that won’t drive away native wildlife.(如果你必须改造你的院子，以不会赶走本地野生动物的方式来做。)”可知，本段是建议大家在改造住所（landscape v.）时，要考虑到对周围野生动植物的影响，由下文“But unless you’re confronting a genuine safety issue, remember that what’s unpleasant to you is sweet home to squirrels, birds, worms and other animals that you might not even know are there. (但是，除非你面对的是真正的安全问题，否则请记住，对你来说不愉快的东西却是松鼠、鸟类、蠕虫和其他你可能不知道存在的动物的甜蜜家园。)”可知，上下文是转折关系。G选项“如果你刚买了房子或者一块地，你可能会忍不住去砍倒那些难看的树木。”符合，其中的“chop down unsightly trees”就是landscape的具体做法，故选G。
2. 后一句“Outdoor cats, however, don’t think twice about killing wild birds.(然而，在家门以外的猫对于捕杀鸟类毫不仁慈)”指出把猫放出去它们会吃野生动物，由however可知，前后句子是转折关系，选项B“把它们关在屋子里似乎很残忍。”符合，虽然把猫关在屋子似乎很残忍，但是如果放出来，它们会吃掉野生动物，且选项中keep them shut up inside the house呼应本段标题“Keep your cats indoors.(把你的猫关在屋里。)”，故选B。
3. 根据本段小标题“Don’t feed any animals but birds.(除了鸟，不要喂任何动物。)”可知要保护动物，我们就要克制住给野生动物喂食的想法，结合前一句“That deer that wanders into your backyard might look hungry and helpless. (跑到你家后院来的野生鹿看起来很饿很无助)”可知，跑到你家后院来的野生鹿看起来很饿很无助，但是也不应该喂它们，C项“ 但是，如果你喂它，你就不会对它有任何好处。”符合，呼应本段主题，故选C。
4. 此处前一句说“Feeding wild birds, on the other hand is OK as long as you don’t have outdoor cats and you provide a meal in keeping with the bird’s natural diet. (另一方面，喂养野生鸟类是可以的，只要你在户外没有猫，你提供一餐符合鸟的自然饮食就是可以打。)”给野生鸟类喂养与它们食谱中一致的食物是可以的，那就意味着尽量给它们喂食纯天然未经加工的东西，A项“ 选择坚果和种子而不是加工过的面包。”符合，故选A。
5. 此段的小标题“Clean up litter (not only your own).(清理垃圾（不仅仅是你自己的）。)”告诉我们，要保护野生动植物，我们要做的不仅是随时清理自己产生的垃圾，上文“You should go
the extra mile and pick up cans and bottles left by other people. (你应该多走一段路，捡起别人留下的易拉罐和瓶子。)”指出我们要捡起别人留下的易拉罐和瓶子，空处承接上文，指出这么做的原因，即能保护野生动物，E项“小动物很容易被这些垃圾困住或受伤。”符合，故选E。
