三、阅读理解
A long time ago, when all the grandfathers and grandmothers of today were little boys and little girls or very small babies, or maybe not even born, Dad, Mum, Mary, Laura and Baby Carrie left their little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin. They drove away and left it lonely and empty in the open field among the big trees, and they never saw that little house again. They were going to the Indian country. Dad said there were too many people in the Big Woods now. Later, the path by the little house became a road. Almost every day, Laura and Mary stopped their playing and watched in surprise at a wagon (四轮马车) slowly passing by on the road.
Wild animals would not stay in a country where there were so many people. Dad also did not like to stay. He liked a country where the wild animals lived without being afraid. He liked to see little fawns (小鹿) and their mothers looking at him from the woods, and the fat, lazy bears eating sweet fruits there. In the long winter evenings, he talked to Mum about the Western country. In the west the land was level (平坦的), and there were no big trees. The grass grew high and thick. There the wild animals ran and fed freely. It seemed that they were in a grass and there were no settlers (移民). Only Indians lived there.

We regard dogs as our best friends. A new study showed that maybe it’s because dogs can understand our words much better than we thought. It found that dogs understand not only what we say, but also how we say it.
“The results were very exciting and surprising,” said the lead researcher Attila Andics, from Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest.
For the study, the researchers first trained 13 dogs for months. The dogs had to sit quietly inside machines, so that the researchers could check their brain activity.
Then the researchers put headphones on the dogs and played people’s voices to them. There were four different voices. Some were positive (积极的) words, such as “well done”, or neutral (不带感彩的) words like “however”. The words were also in different tones (语气). Some were positive and some were neutral.
Brain scans (扫描) showed that the dogs could recognize words and the tone of words, much like people do. The positive words with a positive tone brought the strongest activity in their brains.
“It shows that for dogs, a nice sentence can work very well as a reward, but it works best if both words and tones match,” said Andics.
They also found that dogs deal with meaningful words with the left side of the brain and tones with the right. Human brains work in the same way.
“It gave us a new understanding of language,” said Andics. “That is, not only do humans understand the meaning of the words, other species (物种) do too.”
33.What didn’t the researchers do for the study
A.Training the dogs for months. B.Playing people’s voices to the dogs.
C.Scanning the dogs’ brains. D.Making the dogs sit in the box.
34.Which of the following is true according to the passage
A.Dogs can understand our words much better than we thought.
B.The researchers get the results by checking the dogs’ body activity.
C.There were four different voices with positive words, neutral words and sad words.
D.Much food brought the strongest activity in the dogs’ brains.
35.What is the main idea of the passage
A.Dogs can learn humans’ language. B.Dogs have a gift for speaking.
C.Dogs are humans’ best friends. D.Dogs can understand the meaning of the words.
Trees can provide many benefits for humans including cleaning the air and providing us with oxygen, shade, food, medicines, and beauty. They can help us to relax and destress, lower our heart rates and blood pressure and improve our mood.
Being outside and connecting with nature, especially hugging a tree, has been shown to be especially good for our mental health. The “Biophilia Hypothesis” (亲生命假说) is often given as a reason why being in nature is good for us. It was pointed out by US scientist Edward Wilson in 1984. He said that humans are born to love being around other living things. Humans’ love for nature is “in our DNA”. This idea helps to explain why people prefer natural, green views to city views. It’s also one of the reasons why people love cute pets.
A study in 2021 reported that tree-hugging can increase oxytocin (催产素). It’s a hormone responsible for feelings. The higher the level of oxytocin is, the calmer and happier you may be. One of the primary ways that oxytocin productions increased is through touch. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can lead to an increase in oxytocin. Another hormone called cortisol (皮质醇) is a marker of stress. The brain produces more cortisol when the person is anxious, angry, or very sad. Hugging trees helps cut cortisol production, which makes us feel better.
Many animals are well-known for their tree-hugging nature, such as the sloths, giant pandas and koalas. Similar to dogs and kangaroos, koalas do not sweat. For them, hugging trees is a great way of keeping cool without losing water through panting (喘气). In hot weather, koalas loved to hug tree trunks that were cooler than the surrounding air. In higher temperatures, koalas also spread their bodies to increase surface area for the transfer of heat and could cool themselves down by as much as 68%.
If you have never hugged a tree, we hope that you are up for doing so. It’s an amazing way to connect with the natural world and get back to the roots that a lot of us humans seem to have forgotten. Although the activity is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we shouldn’t hurt nature while doing it.
36.Which of the following can be explained by the “Biophilia Hypothesis”
A.People feel relaxed in natural parks.
B.People prefer to live in the busy cities.
C.People like doing exercises in the sports center.
D.People love visiting theme parks in their spare time.
37.How might people feel with a lower hormone oxytocin
A.They might feel worried but patient. B.They might feel calm and happy.
C.They might feel scared but confident. D.They might feel angry and stressed.
38.What can we learn from the passage about tree-hugging
A.Tree-hugging does much harm to the environment.
B.People can train their physical abilities by hugging trees.
C.Bad moods and mental stress may be improved by hugging trees.
D.Tree-hugging is a useful way for animals to keep themselves warm.
39.What will the writer probably continue to write in the next paragraph
A.The benefits of tree-hugging. B.The disadvantages of tree-hugging.
C.Details of tree-hugging animals. D.Notes for attention when hugging trees.

五、短文填空
请根据短文内容和首字母提示,填写所缺单词。
Many children have music classes when they attend school. And it’s thought that music can r 45 help children with learning other subjects.
One research project looked at what happened when a class of children were d 46 into groups and given a simple task to do. One group was listening to music while completing it, and the other was completing the task in silence. And there was a difference b 47 the two. The first group performed better than the second. So it seems that music can i 48 performance (表现) in certain areas.
So how can you benefit (受益) from studying music According to some studies, musical training can develop the part of your b 49 that deals with language, so you can understand your own language better. It could also help with learning a s 50 one. And that’s a very useful skill to have. What’s more, young people who’ve studied music s 51 to score more highly in other areas such as maths. So it could be that these school subjects are connected.
Music also lets you explore new i 52 , think in a creative way, and grow confidence. If you’re learning the guitar, for example, it can be really exciting when you’re able to start inventing your own pieces of music. And when you do that, you’re practising your l 53 skills because you have to listen carefully to the music you’re making.
One of the biggest benefits is that listening to music helps you to be l 54 stressed. And creating music can make you feel the same way. That should always be in a relaxed atmosphere (氛围). And who knows Maybe your musical knowledge will open up a great career path for you in the future!
六、任务型阅读
On April 26, 2024, the Shenzhou XVIII manned spaceship’s three astronauts, Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu successfully entered the space station and met with the Shenzhou XVII astronauts.
The crew (乘组) will carry out more than 90 experiments (实验) in space so that they can study microgravity in space, medicine and many other science topics.
This mission is special because it is China’s first space-based study of water ecosystems (生态系统). The astronauts brought a fish tank filled with water to the space station. Four zebra fish and algae (水藻) live in it. The algae can give the fish oxygen, keeping them alive. The tank can also feed the fish, control the temperature and lighting, and collect fish eggs by itself.
Why zebra fish Because they share 87 percent of their genes (基因) with humans. Next scientists plan to take mice to space. They’ll raise them there and then bring them back to Earth for further study. Studying animals in space can help scientists understand how the human body reacts to space conditions.
The Shenzhou XVIII crew will return after six months in space. After that, they will help achieve China’s first manned landing on the Moon.
