二、阅读理解
For travelers planning a culture-focused adventure， cities are the best place to start. Some cities function as living galleries in themselves through city-wide street art or award- winning architecture. Others offer artistic ways to explore history and culture， from immersive（沉浸式的） exhibitions to forward-thinking initiatives.
Budapest
Art takes to the streets in the Hungarian capital. Here， city walls act as a canvas for many homegrown and international artists to make their mark， whether through political messages， murals（壁画） or admiration for beloved figures and concepts. Though the art form has now spread well across the city， the Rubik's cube and Refugee Girl in the Jewish Quarter remain representative works to get you started.
Milan
Milan's fashion heritage dates back to its days as an important trading centre， when rich traders would bring luxurious fabrics to the city and develop and improve their business skills in its streets. It's easy to plan an handcrafted tour taking in contemporary fashion houses， modern art galleries， historic churches and architecture as you go.
Copenhagen
Design is integrated into the outline of the Danish capital. Copenhagen's architecture has been awarded many honours over the years， including UNESCO World Capital of Architecture2023. Danish symbol， Arne Jacobsen， was a pioneer of modernist architecture in the city. The spiral（螺旋形的） staircases， Egg and Swan chairs and representative Room 606 at the Radisson Collection Royal Hotel， Copenhagen， were designed by him.
Riyadh
Saudi Arabia's largest city has actively positioned itself as a global destination for creative travellers and to this end， it has established the Riyadh Art initiative. The first public art project of its kind in the country， Riyadh Art， aims to transform the city into a gallery without walls through public art festivals and workshops.
Visit the capital of Saudi Arabian， Riyadh， in winter and you' ll see the city shine brightly under the lights of Noor Riyadh， the world's largest light art festival.

On a wet June morning， Emily Bick winds through a field of knee-high corn， just north of Madison， Wisconsin. It feels like that quiet， anticipation-filled moment before a concert: Tech people are setting up microphones， laying wires.
She's here for a show. The star of this particular show is the microphone itself. Research assistants are attaching it to the corn plants， an innovation that Bick named the Insect Eavesdropper（偷听者）.
Bick， a scientist， researches ways to better detect the agricultural insects that lead to serious economic losses worldwide. She says improving the harvest could be done by using chemicals to kill them more strategically— less often， at just the right time.
In the Corn Belt， that's corn rootworm， also known as the"billion dollar insect". The insect feeds on corn roots， limiting the plant's nutrient supply and making plants easy to falling over. Climate change is bringing new challenges. insects are on the up and up in warmer temperatures and expanding their ranges. "We lose 20% of our crop to the insect， so we should probably be doing something if we want to conserve more land for non-agricultural use，" Bick says.
Bick's solution to the problem of insect detection is sound: Identify the insect by eavesdropping on the unique skaking that it makes when chewing on a plant. The Insect Eavesdropper uses a contact microphone， an affordable device that musician s often use on instruments. A little metal device sits on a solid object—— like corn—— and captures the shaking moving through it， registering each one with an electrical signal.
"When corn rootworm feeds on the roots， the shaking translate from the root system to the top of the plant，" Bick says. "That's where we' re picking it up. We' re using the plant as the musical instrument， as essentially the outside of a guitar."
The Insect Eavesdropper has opened Bick's ears to a whole world of insect sounds， including her new favorite: Aphids， which eat up the sugars flowing through phloem （韧皮部） with a straw-like mouth part. "It kind of sounds like you stuck a straw to the bottom of a milkshake（奶昔），" she says.
24．Why does Bick come to the corn field？
A.To experience the quietness in the wild.
B.To enjoy a field music performance.
C.To collect information on agricultural insects.
D.To anticipate a bright corn harvesting.
25．What can be inferred from Bick's words in Paragraph 4？
A.The limited supply of corn nutrient.
B.The urgency to solve the insect attack.
C.The effect of global warming on agriculture.
D.The economic loss of the agriculture industry.
26．How does Bick's Insect Eavesdropper work？
A.By recording the sound movement from plants.
B.By broadcasting famous music to corn plants.
C.By numbering the insects on the plants.
D.By sending sweet musical signals.
27．What can we know about Bick's Insect Eavesdropper？
A.It has high cost.
B.It has a huge size.
C.It is reliable.
D.It is faulty.
Researchers studied nearly 450 grassy structures built over two years by white-browed sparrow weavers（肯尼亚织雀） living in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa.
"Experiments show that inexperienced male birds will watch familiar males choosing nest- building materials and then use that information to adjust their own choices. For example， they preferred a pink tape before， rather than an orange one， but they will prefer the orange one if they see others using it，" says Maria Cristina Tello-Ramos， a researcher.
This bird species builds grass structures that serve two purposes: They can be turned into a safe spot to hatch eggs， but they' re also shelters where birds can safely rest inside at night. Birds shape grass into a tube， which ends up being shaped basically like an upside- down letter"U".
To learn more， Maria and her coworkers measured every single structure built by 43 family groups over two seasons. They analyzed everything from the length of the tubes to the tubes' width to the angle between the U-shaped tubes'"arms". They intended to see what might account for the observed differences， carefully considering factors like temperatures， wind speed， and the number of birds in each family. They couldn't find any explanation for why the birds were building such different structures. "And since it's known that these birds are highly social，" says Tello-Ramos， "it seems probable that family members are just copying each other， creating a culture of nest-building that gets passed down again and again and again."
Sometimes a family will take an outsider under their wing and let it join the group. "WhatI found most fascinating was the fact that when a new sparrow weaver joins the group， it doesn't bring the cultural transmission（传送） of its old group，" says Catherine Sheard， a biologist. "That wouldn't have been what I predicted."
28．What does Tello stress in her words in the second paragraph？
A.Birds employ genetics to build nests.
B.Birds construct nests to attract females.
C.Birds tend to follow suit in nest-building.
D.Birds build their nests with colorful materials.
29．Why do birds build different shapes of nests according to Tello-Ramos？
A.Because they adapt their sizes to family members.
B.Because they adjust the nests to match wind speed.
C.Because they take temperature changes into account.
D.Because they have various family nesting preferences.
30．What did Sheard originally expect in her study？
A.New-comers would build nests according to genetic data.
B.New birds wouldn't adapt new cultures of nest-building.
C.New joiners would keep their own cultural traditions.
D.New members would adopt the new nest-building ways.
31．What is the best title for the text？
A.Colorful Nests Are a Fashion for Birds
B.Tradition Lies in nest-building Materials
C.Birds Build Their Culture into Their Nests
D.Nest-Building Reflects Birds' Gender
Over 100 years ago， Alexander Graham Bell asked the readers to do something brave and fresh—"to found a new science". He pointed out that sciences based on the measurement of sound and light already existed. But there was no science of odor（气味）. Bell asked his readers to"measure a smell".
Today， smart phones provide impressive built-in capabilities based on the sciences of sound and light: voice assistants， facial recognition and photo improvement. The science of odor does not offer anything comparable. But that situation is changing， as advances in machine smell， also called"digitized smell"， are finally answering Bell's call to action.
Whereas human vision mainly relies on cells in the retina(视网膜), smell is experienced through about 400 types of cells in the nose. Machine smell starts with sensors that detect and identify molecules(分子) in the air. These sensors serve the same purpose as the cells in your nose, But to be useful to people, machine smell needs to go a step further. The system needs to know what a certain molecule or a set of molecules smells like to a human. So the challenge is formidable. For that, machine smell needs machine learning.
Machine learning studies the words humans tend to use to describe what they experience when they encounter specific odor-causing things. However， the web has an unimaginably huge amount of audio， image and video content that can be used to train artificial intelligence systems that recognize sounds and pictures. Most people cannot describe smells in word as effortlessly and recognizably as they can describe sights and sounds. So researchers weren't able to train really powerful machine learning models.
However， things started to change in 2015 when researchers launched the DREAM Smell Prediction Challenge. The competition released data collected by Andreas Keller and Leslie Vosshall， and invited teams from around the world to submit their machine learning models. By 2019， the largest datasets had grown from less than 500 molecules in the DREAM challenge to about 5，000 molecules. Such progress in unlocking the code of smell is not only exciting but also has highly promising applications， including personalized odor， early detection of disease， and more realistic augmented reality（增强现实技术） experiences. The future of machine smell looks bright. It also promises to smell good.
32．Why does the author mention Alexander Graham Bell？
A.To prove the current progress in machine smell.
B.To illustrate Bell's research into sound and light.
C.To stress the application of digitalized smell.
D.To offer some background information of the science of smell.
33．What does the underlined word"formidable" in Paragraph 3 mean？
A.Rewarding.
B.Demanding.
C.Stimulating.
D.Confusing.
34．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？
A.Introduce the shortage of smell datasets.
B.Warn people of the junk information.
C.Illustrate the use of smell training model.
D.Predict the tendency for machine learning.
35．What is the author's attitude towards the machine smell？
A.Doubtful.
B.Optimistic.
C.Impossible.
D.Contradictory.

Ever found yourself reaching for your favorite old movie or TV show despite knowing every line and unexpected plot changes You' re not alone. ①
We rewatch shows for emotion, not plot. Rewatching is an intentional choice based on our prior knowledge. Knowing what's coming allows us to take charge of our feelings. Rewatching and repetition lower our loads of mental understanding too. ② We can freely make ourselves complethy involved in the experience, enjoy details we might have missed the first time, and deepen our connection to the characters and storylines.
③ Returning to something known when life feels chaotic can ground us. Familiar content removes the tension of uncertainty. We can fully focus on the positive moods.
Rewatching isn't just about the past; it's also about the present and the future. Anticipating a favorite scene plays a significant role. It's reported that the production of dopamine(多巴胺) will be activated by the mental“wanting” of the visualized rewards.④ We get a feel-good boost during the show as we review favorite moments.
Our media choices reflect our psychological needs. ⑤ So, the next time you queue up old favourites, remember that you' re doing more than indulging(沉溺) in nostalgia(怀旧)一 you' re actively supporting your mental health.
A. The familiarity also provides a sense of safety.
B. Our brains don't need to work hard to process the information.
C. That's why we simply cannot deal with anything else at the moment.
D. This mental anticipation motivates behaviors that will deliver the experience.
E. They can be a response to our desire to recreate meaningful emotional experiences.
F. Rewatching old favorites is a popular activity for many， especially during the holidays.
G. A new movie may seem more appealing if we are familiar with the actors， the director or the theme.

In the heart of a city， located between tall buildings and busy streets， was a small but lively animal shelter named"Paws Haven". It had been a place for countless stray（流浪的） and abandoned animals， providing them with food， shelter， and love.
That day， teenagers Mia and Leo passed the shelter and noticed a poster for a volunteer program.
Mia was instantly fascinated. "Leo， think about all those poor animals that need our help. Let's sign up to be volunteers." Leo， however， was hesitant. "I don't know， Mia. Volunteering might be a lot of work， and we already have school and other commitments."
Mia persisted. "Just imagine how rewarding it would be to make a difference in their e on！ Let's do it." Eventually， Leo agreed.
They went to the animal shelter and were immediately put to work. They cleaned cages， fed the animals， and played with them. As days passed， they grew attached to the furry（覆盖毛皮的） creatures and found a new sense of purpose.
One sunny Saturday， as they were preparing the afternoon meal for the animals， Mia happened to hear a conversation that filled her with fear. The shelter's director， Ms. Harper， was discussing with a staff member the terrible financial situation Paws Haven was facing. With donations decreasing and operational costs rising， the shelter was on the brink（边缘） of closure. "We can't go on like this much longer，" Ms. Harper sighed.
Mia immediately relayed the news to Leo， and they both felt a sense of urgency. "We can't let this happen，" Leo said， determination shining in his eyes. "We have to do something."
They came up with a plan: organize a community fundraiser event. They would call it"A Night for Paws"， a combination of a pet talent show， bake sale， and silent auction（拍卖）.
The following weeks were very busy. Mia managed to secure donations from several local stores， including pet supplies， baked goods， and art pieces for the auction. Meanwhile， Leo created an online page for the event， which quickly gained attention. He also designed flyers and posters， which they distributed around the neighborhood.

24．答案： C
解析： 细节理解题。根据前三段内容可知，Emily Bick是研究如何更好地检测农业害虫的科学家，因此她来到玉米地是为了利用"Insect Eavesdropper"收集关于农业害虫的信息。
25．答案： B
解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，本段主要介绍了玉米根虫的危害性，由此可知，解决农业害虫的问题迫在眉睫。
26．答案： A
解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段以及第六段可知，Bick的"Insect Eavesdropper"是通过记录来自植物的声音运动来工作的。
27．答案： C
解析： 推理判断题。根据第五段"Bick's solution to the problem of insect detection is sound"可知，Bick的设备是实用的。
28．答案： C
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段Experiments show that inexperienced male birds will watch familiar males choosing nest-building materials and then use that information to adjust their own choices.以及第四段it seems probable that family members are just copying each other可知，Tello-Ramos通过实验说明没有经验的雄性雀会观察并模仿其他同类选择筑巢材料，进而强调织雀在筑巢时可能也相互模仿。
29．答案： D
解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，研究人员测量了鸟巢的各种数据并考虑了多种因素，但仍找不到鸟儿建造不同结构鸟巢的原因。文中提到这些鸟高度社会化，并且家庭成员之间似乎在相互模仿筑巢，形成了一种代代相传的筑巢文化。由此可推知不同家庭在筑巢方面有各自的特点，即有不同的筑巢偏好。
30．答案： C
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中可知，新加入的织雀不会将旧群体的文化传播到新群体中。这一发现与Sheard原来的预期相反。因此，她原来的预期应该是新加入的鸟类会带来它们原来群体的文化传统。
31．答案： C

32．答案： D
解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，作者提到Alexander Graham Bell是因为他在100多年前呼吁建立一门关于气味的新科学，因此是提供气味科学的背景信息。
33．答案： B
解析： 词义猜测题。根据画线词前可知，机器嗅觉要知道某个分子或一组分子对人类来说闻起来像什么，要实现这样的功能并且进一步了解对人类来说的气味感受是非常困难的任务，因此"formidable"在这里的意思与"demanding"相近。
34．答案： A
解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中可知，大多数人无法像描述景象和声音那样轻松、可辨别地用言语描述气味。因此，研究人员无法训练出真正强大的机器学习模型，这是它的缺点。
35．答案： B
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中"The future of machine smell looks bright.It also promises to smellgood."可推知，作者对机器嗅觉持乐观态度。

二、阅读理解
For travelers planning a culture-focused adventure， cities are the best place to start. Some cities function as living galleries in themselves through city-wide street art or award- winning architecture. Others offer artistic ways to explore history and culture， from immersive（沉浸式的） exhibitions to forward-thinking initiatives.
Budapest
Art takes to the streets in the Hungarian capital. Here， city walls act as a canvas for many homegrown and international artists to make their mark， whether through political messages， murals（壁画） or admiration for beloved figures and concepts. Though the art form has now spread well across the city， the Rubik's cube and Refugee Girl in the Jewish Quarter remain representative works to get you started.
Milan
Milan's fashion heritage dates back to its days as an important trading centre， when rich traders would bring luxurious fabrics to the city and develop and improve their business skills in its streets. It's easy to plan an handcrafted tour taking in contemporary fashion houses， modern art galleries， historic churches and architecture as you go.
Copenhagen
Design is integrated into the outline of the Danish capital. Copenhagen's architecture has been awarded many honours over the years， including UNESCO World Capital of Architecture2023. Danish symbol， Arne Jacobsen， was a pioneer of modernist architecture in the city. The spiral（螺旋形的） staircases， Egg and Swan chairs and representative Room 606 at the Radisson Collection Royal Hotel， Copenhagen， were designed by him.
Riyadh
Saudi Arabia's largest city has actively positioned itself as a global destination for creative travellers and to this end， it has established the Riyadh Art initiative. The first public art project of its kind in the country， Riyadh Art， aims to transform the city into a gallery without walls through public art festivals and workshops.
Visit the capital of Saudi Arabian， Riyadh， in winter and you' ll see the city shine brightly under the lights of Noor Riyadh， the world's largest light art festival.

On a wet June morning， Emily Bick winds through a field of knee-high corn， just north of Madison， Wisconsin. It feels like that quiet， anticipation-filled moment before a concert: Tech people are setting up microphones， laying wires.
She's here for a show. The star of this particular show is the microphone itself. Research assistants are attaching it to the corn plants， an innovation that Bick named the Insect Eavesdropper（偷听者）.
Bick， a scientist， researches ways to better detect the agricultural insects that lead to serious economic losses worldwide. She says improving the harvest could be done by using chemicals to kill them more strategically— less often， at just the right time.
In the Corn Belt， that's corn rootworm， also known as the"billion dollar insect". The insect feeds on corn roots， limiting the plant's nutrient supply and making plants easy to falling over. Climate change is bringing new challenges. insects are on the up and up in warmer temperatures and expanding their ranges. "We lose 20% of our crop to the insect， so we should probably be doing something if we want to conserve more land for non-agricultural use，" Bick says.
Bick's solution to the problem of insect detection is sound: Identify the insect by eavesdropping on the unique skaking that it makes when chewing on a plant. The Insect Eavesdropper uses a contact microphone， an affordable device that musician s often use on instruments. A little metal device sits on a solid object—— like corn—— and captures the shaking moving through it， registering each one with an electrical signal.
"When corn rootworm feeds on the roots， the shaking translate from the root system to the top of the plant，" Bick says. "That's where we' re picking it up. We' re using the plant as the musical instrument， as essentially the outside of a guitar."
The Insect Eavesdropper has opened Bick's ears to a whole world of insect sounds， including her new favorite: Aphids， which eat up the sugars flowing through phloem （韧皮部） with a straw-like mouth part. "It kind of sounds like you stuck a straw to the bottom of a milkshake（奶昔），" she says.
24．Why does Bick come to the corn field？
A.To experience the quietness in the wild.
B.To enjoy a field music performance.
C.To collect information on agricultural insects.
D.To anticipate a bright corn harvesting.
25．What can be inferred from Bick's words in Paragraph 4？
A.The limited supply of corn nutrient.
B.The urgency to solve the insect attack.
C.The effect of global warming on agriculture.
D.The economic loss of the agriculture industry.
26．How does Bick's Insect Eavesdropper work？
A.By recording the sound movement from plants.
B.By broadcasting famous music to corn plants.
C.By numbering the insects on the plants.
D.By sending sweet musical signals.
27．What can we know about Bick's Insect Eavesdropper？
A.It has high cost.
B.It has a huge size.
C.It is reliable.
D.It is faulty.
Researchers studied nearly 450 grassy structures built over two years by white-browed sparrow weavers（肯尼亚织雀） living in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa.
"Experiments show that inexperienced male birds will watch familiar males choosing nest- building materials and then use that information to adjust their own choices. For example， they preferred a pink tape before， rather than an orange one， but they will prefer the orange one if they see others using it，" says Maria Cristina Tello-Ramos， a researcher.
This bird species builds grass structures that serve two purposes: They can be turned into a safe spot to hatch eggs， but they' re also shelters where birds can safely rest inside at night. Birds shape grass into a tube， which ends up being shaped basically like an upside- down letter"U".
To learn more， Maria and her coworkers measured every single structure built by 43 family groups over two seasons. They analyzed everything from the length of the tubes to the tubes' width to the angle between the U-shaped tubes'"arms". They intended to see what might account for the observed differences， carefully considering factors like temperatures， wind speed， and the number of birds in each family. They couldn't find any explanation for why the birds were building such different structures. "And since it's known that these birds are highly social，" says Tello-Ramos， "it seems probable that family members are just copying each other， creating a culture of nest-building that gets passed down again and again and again."
Sometimes a family will take an outsider under their wing and let it join the group. "WhatI found most fascinating was the fact that when a new sparrow weaver joins the group， it doesn't bring the cultural transmission（传送） of its old group，" says Catherine Sheard， a biologist. "That wouldn't have been what I predicted."
28．What does Tello stress in her words in the second paragraph？
A.Birds employ genetics to build nests.
B.Birds construct nests to attract females.
C.Birds tend to follow suit in nest-building.
D.Birds build their nests with colorful materials.
29．Why do birds build different shapes of nests according to Tello-Ramos？
A.Because they adapt their sizes to family members.
B.Because they adjust the nests to match wind speed.
C.Because they take temperature changes into account.
D.Because they have various family nesting preferences.
30．What did Sheard originally expect in her study？
A.New-comers would build nests according to genetic data.
B.New birds wouldn't adapt new cultures of nest-building.
C.New joiners would keep their own cultural traditions.
D.New members would adopt the new nest-building ways.
31．What is the best title for the text？
A.Colorful Nests Are a Fashion for Birds
B.Tradition Lies in nest-building Materials
C.Birds Build Their Culture into Their Nests
D.Nest-Building Reflects Birds' Gender
Over 100 years ago， Alexander Graham Bell asked the readers to do something brave and fresh—"to found a new science". He pointed out that sciences based on the measurement of sound and light already existed. But there was no science of odor（气味）. Bell asked his readers to"measure a smell".
Today， smart phones provide impressive built-in capabilities based on the sciences of sound and light: voice assistants， facial recognition and photo improvement. The science of odor does not offer anything comparable. But that situation is changing， as advances in machine smell， also called"digitized smell"， are finally answering Bell's call to action.
Whereas human vision mainly relies on cells in the retina(视网膜), smell is experienced through about 400 types of cells in the nose. Machine smell starts with sensors that detect and identify molecules(分子) in the air. These sensors serve the same purpose as the cells in your nose, But to be useful to people, machine smell needs to go a step further. The system needs to know what a certain molecule or a set of molecules smells like to a human. So the challenge is formidable. For that, machine smell needs machine learning.
Machine learning studies the words humans tend to use to describe what they experience when they encounter specific odor-causing things. However， the web has an unimaginably huge amount of audio， image and video content that can be used to train artificial intelligence systems that recognize sounds and pictures. Most people cannot describe smells in word as effortlessly and recognizably as they can describe sights and sounds. So researchers weren't able to train really powerful machine learning models.
However， things started to change in 2015 when researchers launched the DREAM Smell Prediction Challenge. The competition released data collected by Andreas Keller and Leslie Vosshall， and invited teams from around the world to submit their machine learning models. By 2019， the largest datasets had grown from less than 500 molecules in the DREAM challenge to about 5，000 molecules. Such progress in unlocking the code of smell is not only exciting but also has highly promising applications， including personalized odor， early detection of disease， and more realistic augmented reality（增强现实技术） experiences. The future of machine smell looks bright. It also promises to smell good.
32．Why does the author mention Alexander Graham Bell？
A.To prove the current progress in machine smell.
B.To illustrate Bell's research into sound and light.
C.To stress the application of digitalized smell.
D.To offer some background information of the science of smell.
33．What does the underlined word"formidable" in Paragraph 3 mean？
A.Rewarding.
B.Demanding.
C.Stimulating.
D.Confusing.
34．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？
A.Introduce the shortage of smell datasets.
B.Warn people of the junk information.
C.Illustrate the use of smell training model.
D.Predict the tendency for machine learning.
35．What is the author's attitude towards the machine smell？
A.Doubtful.
B.Optimistic.
C.Impossible.
D.Contradictory.

Ever found yourself reaching for your favorite old movie or TV show despite knowing every line and unexpected plot changes You' re not alone. ①
We rewatch shows for emotion, not plot. Rewatching is an intentional choice based on our prior knowledge. Knowing what's coming allows us to take charge of our feelings. Rewatching and repetition lower our loads of mental understanding too. ② We can freely make ourselves complethy involved in the experience, enjoy details we might have missed the first time, and deepen our connection to the characters and storylines.
③ Returning to something known when life feels chaotic can ground us. Familiar content removes the tension of uncertainty. We can fully focus on the positive moods.
Rewatching isn't just about the past; it's also about the present and the future. Anticipating a favorite scene plays a significant role. It's reported that the production of dopamine(多巴胺) will be activated by the mental“wanting” of the visualized rewards.④ We get a feel-good boost during the show as we review favorite moments.
Our media choices reflect our psychological needs. ⑤ So, the next time you queue up old favourites, remember that you' re doing more than indulging(沉溺) in nostalgia(怀旧)一 you' re actively supporting your mental health.
A. The familiarity also provides a sense of safety.
B. Our brains don't need to work hard to process the information.
C. That's why we simply cannot deal with anything else at the moment.
D. This mental anticipation motivates behaviors that will deliver the experience.
E. They can be a response to our desire to recreate meaningful emotional experiences.
F. Rewatching old favorites is a popular activity for many， especially during the holidays.
G. A new movie may seem more appealing if we are familiar with the actors， the director or the theme.

In the heart of a city， located between tall buildings and busy streets， was a small but lively animal shelter named"Paws Haven". It had been a place for countless stray（流浪的） and abandoned animals， providing them with food， shelter， and love.
That day， teenagers Mia and Leo passed the shelter and noticed a poster for a volunteer program.
Mia was instantly fascinated. "Leo， think about all those poor animals that need our help. Let's sign up to be volunteers." Leo， however， was hesitant. "I don't know， Mia. Volunteering might be a lot of work， and we already have school and other commitments."
Mia persisted. "Just imagine how rewarding it would be to make a difference in their e on！ Let's do it." Eventually， Leo agreed.
They went to the animal shelter and were immediately put to work. They cleaned cages， fed the animals， and played with them. As days passed， they grew attached to the furry（覆盖毛皮的） creatures and found a new sense of purpose.
One sunny Saturday， as they were preparing the afternoon meal for the animals， Mia happened to hear a conversation that filled her with fear. The shelter's director， Ms. Harper， was discussing with a staff member the terrible financial situation Paws Haven was facing. With donations decreasing and operational costs rising， the shelter was on the brink（边缘） of closure. "We can't go on like this much longer，" Ms. Harper sighed.
Mia immediately relayed the news to Leo， and they both felt a sense of urgency. "We can't let this happen，" Leo said， determination shining in his eyes. "We have to do something."
They came up with a plan: organize a community fundraiser event. They would call it"A Night for Paws"， a combination of a pet talent show， bake sale， and silent auction（拍卖）.
The following weeks were very busy. Mia managed to secure donations from several local stores， including pet supplies， baked goods， and art pieces for the auction. Meanwhile， Leo created an online page for the event， which quickly gained attention. He also designed flyers and posters， which they distributed around the neighborhood.

25．答案： B
解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，本段主要介绍了玉米根虫的危害性，由此可知，解决农业害虫的问题迫在眉睫。
26．答案： A
解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段以及第六段可知，Bick的"Insect Eavesdropper"是通过记录来自植物的声音运动来工作的。
27．答案： C
解析： 推理判断题。根据第五段"Bick's solution to the problem of insect detection is sound"可知，Bick的设备是实用的。
28．答案： C
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段Experiments show that inexperienced male birds will watch familiar males choosing nest-building materials and then use that information to adjust their own choices.以及第四段it seems probable that family members are just copying each other可知，Tello-Ramos通过实验说明没有经验的雄性雀会观察并模仿其他同类选择筑巢材料，进而强调织雀在筑巢时可能也相互模仿。
29．答案： D
解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，研究人员测量了鸟巢的各种数据并考虑了多种因素，但仍找不到鸟儿建造不同结构鸟巢的原因。文中提到这些鸟高度社会化，并且家庭成员之间似乎在相互模仿筑巢，形成了一种代代相传的筑巢文化。由此可推知不同家庭在筑巢方面有各自的特点，即有不同的筑巢偏好。
30．答案： C
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中可知，新加入的织雀不会将旧群体的文化传播到新群体中。这一发现与Sheard原来的预期相反。因此，她原来的预期应该是新加入的鸟类会带来它们原来群体的文化传统。
31．答案： C

33．答案： B
解析： 词义猜测题。根据画线词前可知，机器嗅觉要知道某个分子或一组分子对人类来说闻起来像什么，要实现这样的功能并且进一步了解对人类来说的气味感受是非常困难的任务，因此"formidable"在这里的意思与"demanding"相近。
34．答案： A
解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中可知，大多数人无法像描述景象和声音那样轻松、可辨别地用言语描述气味。因此，研究人员无法训练出真正强大的机器学习模型，这是它的缺点。
35．答案： B
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中"The future of machine smell looks bright.It also promises to smellgood."可推知，作者对机器嗅觉持乐观态度。
