As I stepped out of the punishing Arizona heat and into the cool air-conditioned hall of the meeting center, I saw a sea of costumed attendees. Some wore complicated steampunk clothes; others were dressed up as their favorite Marvel or Star Wars characters. “How could I agree to this ” I thought as I made my way to the room where I’d give a talk about the science behind the classic Dune books by Frank Herbert. Then I saw the audience's excitement.
I had been struggling for years to find new ways to communicate science to a broad audience. When I went into my Ph. D. program, research soon began to consume most of my time. When I spoke about my research, it was mostly directed at people within my Ph. D. field: workmates, collaborators, thesis committee members. I struggled to explain how my research might apply in the real world.
Then I took a trip to Maine, where many fellows were great readers and excited to share stories about the latest books they’d consumed. I could vividly recall every detail of the papers piling up back in the lab, yet I couldn’t remember the last book I had read for pleasure. “Is my Ph. D. killing my love of science ” I thought. When I returned home, I determined to devote more of my time to doing things I love outside the lab, especially reading for pleasure. My eldest brother had recommended a science fiction book, so I started with that. It was refreshing to think about science in a new way.
I kept reading science fiction in the years after I finished my Ph. D. But I still hadn’t gotten back to communicating science to the public. Then, one night I found myself in a conversation with my new policy colleagues about science fiction concepts. One invited me to speak at the pop culture convention. When the day came to present, I felt worried until I was behind the platform and saw the bright-eyed, eager attendees. After I finished, I was flooded with questions and comments. It suddenly occurred to me that this was my path back to science communication.
24. What did the author have difficulty doing during his Ph. D. program
A. Balancing work and personal life.
B. Making his research accepted by co-workers.
C. Keeping up with the latest scientific papers.
D. Explaining the practical value of his research.
25. What caused the author to question his love of science
A. He lacked interest in reading science books.
B. He struggled to understand what the fellows shared.
C. He suffered great pressure from his Ph. D. program.
D. He failed to recall the last book he’d read for fun program.
26. Why did the author’s trip to Maine serve as a crucial turning point
A. Because it directly led to him securing the speaking opportunity at the pop culture convention.
B. Because it provided him with a new network of contacts in the science communication field.
C. Because it reignited his passion for reading and indirectly inspired a renewed interest in science communication.
D. Because it forced him to confront his academic shortcomings and seek professional development opportunities.
27. What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph
A．He should focus more on his academic career.
B．He enjoyed giving presentations more than doing research.
C．He has found a new way to communicate science to the public.
D．He has developed a great passion for pop culture.
C
Wild animals are equipped with a variety of techniques to avoid becoming lunch for a bigger animal, also known as a predator in nature. The most well-known methods include the classic fight and flight as well as freeze.
A team of researchers wondered whether closeness to people might impact those survival strategies. “We often see that animals are more tolerant around us in urban areas, but we don’t really know why.” says evolutionary biologist Dan Blumstein. “Is it individual plasticity, meaning individuals change their fear of us and that leads to tolerance Or can there be an evolutionary factor involved ”
To find out, Blumstein and his colleagues combined information from 173 studies of over 100 species, including mammals, birds, fish and even mollusks. It turns out that regardless of evolutionary ancestry, the animals react in a similar way to life among humans: they lose their anti-predator characteristics. That pattern is especially noticeable for plant-eating animals and for social species. This behavioral change is perhaps unsurprising when it’s intentional, the result of domestication or controlled breeding. But it turns out that urbanization alone results in a similar change, though around three times more slowly.
The main point is: we’re essentially domesticating animals by urbanization. We’re selecting for the same sorts of characteristics that we would if we were actually trying to domesticate them. If the urbanization process helps animals better co-exist with people, it could be to their benefit. But if it makes them more defenseless to their nonhuman predators, it could be a real problem. Either way, these results mean that city living has enough of an influence on wild animals that evolutionary processes kick in. Those reductions in anti-predator characteristics become encoded in their genes. We’re changing the population genetics one way or another.
What the researchers now wonder is whether the mere presence of tourists in less urbanized areas can cause similar changes in wild animals. If so, serious questions exist for the idea of ethical, welfare-oriented eco-tourism. If we wish to help animals keep their anti-predator defenses, the researchers say, we might have to intentionally expose animals to predators. It’s just yet one other way that we’re changing the world around us.
28. The research led by Blumstein is aimed at ________.
A. determining how animals’ survival is impacted by individual plasticity
B. studying how living among humans affects animals’ survival strategies
C. comparing the effectiveness of different survival techniques
D. finding out which evolutionary factor impacts animals’ survival methods
29. Which of the following practices may contribute to animals losing anti-predator characteristics
A. Controlled breeding of animals. B. Banning the operation of eco-tourism.
C. Planned selection of favorable genes. D. Eliminating domestication.
30. Which of the following statements is Blumstein likely to agree with
A. Urbanization has made wild animals more alert.
B. Urbanization has brought concrete benefits to animals.
C. City living has led to animals’ genetic variations.
D. City living has helped to preserve animal species.
31. The animal rescue center spotted an injured fox a year ago and has since nursed it back to health. Before releasing it back to the wild, the center should probably ________.
A. expose the fox to the urban environment repeatedly
B. train the fox to co-exist with the less aggressive predators
C. intentionally get the fox accustomed to the presence of humans
D. purposefully adapt the fox to predator related environment
D
A group of 41 states and the District of Columbia began a legal case against Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger, insisting that the company knowingly used features on its platforms to cause children to overuse them. The accusations in the lawsuit raise a deeper question about behavior: Are young people becoming addicted to social media and the Internet Here’s what the research has found.
David Greenfield, a psychologist and founder of the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction in West Hartford, Conn, said the devices tempt users with some powerful approaches. One is “intermittent reinforcement,” which creates the idea that a user could get a reward at any time. But when the reward comes is unpredictable. Adults are easily influenced, he noted, but young people are particularly at risk, because the brain regions that are involved in resisting temptation and reward are not nearly as developed in children and teenagers as in adults. Moreover, the adolescent brain is especially accustomed to social connections, and social media is all a perfect opportunity to connect with other people.
For many years, the scientific community typically defined addiction in relation to substances, such as drugs, and not behaviors, such as gambling or Internet use. That has gradually changed. In 2013, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the official reference for mental health conditions, introduced the idea of Internet gaming addiction.
A subsequent study explored broadening the definition to “Internet addiction.” The author suggested further exploring diagnostic criteria and the language, for instance, noting that terms like “problematic use” and even the word “Internet” were open to broad interpretation, given the many forms the information and its delivery can take.
Dr. Michael Rich, the director of the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital, said he discouraged the use of the word “addiction” because the Internet, if used effectively and with limits, was not merely useful but also essential to everyday life.
Greenfield agreed that there clearly are valuable uses for the Internet and that the definition of how much is too much can vary. But he said there also were obvious cases where immoderate use disturbs school, sleep and other vital aspects of a healthy life. “Too many young consumers can’t put it down,” he said. “The Internet, including social media like Meta, are the drugs affecting the mind.”
32. What was Meta accused of
A. It added problematic features to its platform.
B. It started a discussion to mislead young people.
C. It tempted children to use social media too much.
D. It conducted illegal research on its parent company.
33. According to David Greenfield, users tend to be addicted to social media and the Internet due to __________ .
A. their under-developed brain
B. the random pattern of rewards
C. their desire to be socially connected
D. the possibility of escaping from reality
34. What can be concluded about the study introduced in Paragraph 4
A. Addiction is something about behaviors instead of substances.
B. The online language can be interpreted from a broad perspective.
C. Current diagnostic criteria of “Internet addiction” isn’t satisfactory.
D. There should be an agreement on the definition of the word “Internet”.
35. Dr. Michael Rich and David Greenfield both agree that__________ .
A. proper use of the Internet does good to children
B. the Internet is to blame for disturbing healthy life
C. there are cases against moderate use of the Internet
D. the word “addiction” is improperly used on the Internet

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。
The Secret of Flowers
Anna worked with her mother in their vegetable garden every day. This was how they made their living. Anna helped her mother tend the garden, so the vegetables would be healthy and ready for the market. Anna often pretended the plants she tended were beautiful roses, like Mrs. Brown’s prize flowers.
The only person in the village who made money selling flowers was Mrs. Brown. She grew roses and sold them to flower shops in the city. Every year she joined the City Rose Festival. People thought that Mrs. Brown used magic to grow her roses. How else could she win first prize twenty years in a row
Anna loved to tend flowers. Moreover, she often dreamed about growing her own roses and winning first prize in the festival. With the prize money, she would also be able to lighten the burden at home. However, roses were too expensive for her to start.
One day, Anna visited Mrs. Brown to see her flowers. Mrs. Brown was whispering to her roses when she arrived. “Spying on me again!” Mrs. Brown frowned.
“I only came to see your flowers, Mrs. Brown.” Anna took a deep breath. “I wish I could grow beautiful roses and win a prize at the festival like you.”
“I have experience passed down from generations.” Mrs. Brown laughed. “Stick to vegetables, child. Leave flowers to those who know the secret of flowers.”
Mrs. Brown returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Anna’s face. Then she pulled up a dried-up rose, and threw it over the fence. “A plant in bad condition. Unworthy of my time,” Mrs. Brown mumbled.
Anna smiled, as she had an idea. She bowed farewell to Mrs. Brown and went out the garden gate. Mrs. Brown was busy minding her prize roses. Anna quickly bent over and grabbed the abandoned rose before rushing home. She remembered a quiet spot behind the cottage. It was the perfect place for her little rose to grow. Now, she had a chance for the festival.
Anna planted the rose in her garden and tended it carefully. ______________________

读后续写
Anna planted the rose in her garden and tended it carefully. She nurtured it every day, watering it just right and making sure that it received plenty of sunlight. She talked to it softly, much like Mrs. Brown did with her roses, hoping her words would encourage it to bloom beautifully. Weeks passed, and Anna’s rose began to show signs of improvement. Its leaves grew greener, and a few buds formed at the ends of its stems.
On festival morning, Mrs. Brown passed by and saw the beautiful rose. Mrs. Brown couldn’t hide her shock. Anna carried it to the festival, where it stood out among the rows of roses. As the prizes were announced, Anna’s flower won the hearts of all. Mrs. Brown’s mouth dropped open at the result and came to ask what her secret of planting flowers was. Anna mentioned it was being able to do something she enjoyed and trying her best. Shocked and proud, her mother said excitedly in a whisper “Proud of you and your dream.”

As I stepped out of the punishing Arizona heat and into the cool air-conditioned hall of the meeting center, I saw a sea of costumed attendees. Some wore complicated steampunk clothes; others were dressed up as their favorite Marvel or Star Wars characters. “How could I agree to this ” I thought as I made my way to the room where I’d give a talk about the science behind the classic Dune books by Frank Herbert. Then I saw the audience's excitement.
I had been struggling for years to find new ways to communicate science to a broad audience. When I went into my Ph. D. program, research soon began to consume most of my time. When I spoke about my research, it was mostly directed at people within my Ph. D. field: workmates, collaborators, thesis committee members. I struggled to explain how my research might apply in the real world.
Then I took a trip to Maine, where many fellows were great readers and excited to share stories about the latest books they’d consumed. I could vividly recall every detail of the papers piling up back in the lab, yet I couldn’t remember the last book I had read for pleasure. “Is my Ph. D. killing my love of science ” I thought. When I returned home, I determined to devote more of my time to doing things I love outside the lab, especially reading for pleasure. My eldest brother had recommended a science fiction book, so I started with that. It was refreshing to think about science in a new way.
I kept reading science fiction in the years after I finished my Ph. D. But I still hadn’t gotten back to communicating science to the public. Then, one night I found myself in a conversation with my new policy colleagues about science fiction concepts. One invited me to speak at the pop culture convention. When the day came to present, I felt worried until I was behind the platform and saw the bright-eyed, eager attendees. After I finished, I was flooded with questions and comments. It suddenly occurred to me that this was my path back to science communication.
24. What did the author have difficulty doing during his Ph. D. program
A. Balancing work and personal life.
B. Making his research accepted by co-workers.
C. Keeping up with the latest scientific papers.
D. Explaining the practical value of his research.
25. What caused the author to question his love of science
A. He lacked interest in reading science books.
B. He struggled to understand what the fellows shared.
C. He suffered great pressure from his Ph. D. program.
D. He failed to recall the last book he’d read for fun program.
26. Why did the author’s trip to Maine serve as a crucial turning point
A. Because it directly led to him securing the speaking opportunity at the pop culture convention.
B. Because it provided him with a new network of contacts in the science communication field.
C. Because it reignited his passion for reading and indirectly inspired a renewed interest in science communication.
D. Because it forced him to confront his academic shortcomings and seek professional development opportunities.
27. What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph
A．He should focus more on his academic career.
B．He enjoyed giving presentations more than doing research.
C．He has found a new way to communicate science to the public.

C
Wild animals are equipped with a variety of techniques to avoid becoming lunch for a bigger animal, also known as a predator in nature. The most well-known methods include the classic fight and flight as well as freeze.
A team of researchers wondered whether closeness to people might impact those survival strategies. “We often see that animals are more tolerant around us in urban areas, but we don’t really know why.” says evolutionary biologist Dan Blumstein. “Is it individual plasticity, meaning individuals change their fear of us and that leads to tolerance Or can there be an evolutionary factor involved ”
To find out, Blumstein and his colleagues combined information from 173 studies of over 100 species, including mammals, birds, fish and even mollusks. It turns out that regardless of evolutionary ancestry, the animals react in a similar way to life among humans: they lose their anti-predator characteristics. That pattern is especially noticeable for plant-eating animals and for social species. This behavioral change is perhaps unsurprising when it’s intentional, the result of domestication or controlled breeding. But it turns out that urbanization alone results in a similar change, though around three times more slowly.
The main point is: we’re essentially domesticating animals by urbanization. We’re selecting for the same sorts of characteristics that we would if we were actually trying to domesticate them. If the urbanization process helps animals better co-exist with people, it could be to their benefit. But if it makes them more defenseless to their nonhuman predators, it could be a real problem. Either way, these results mean that city living has enough of an influence on wild animals that evolutionary processes kick in. Those reductions in anti-predator characteristics become encoded in their genes. We’re changing the population genetics one way or another.
What the researchers now wonder is whether the mere presence of tourists in less urbanized areas can cause similar changes in wild animals. If so, serious questions exist for the idea of ethical, welfare-oriented eco-tourism. If we wish to help animals keep their anti-predator defenses, the researchers say, we might have to intentionally expose animals to predators. It’s just yet one other way that we’re changing the world around us.
28. The research led by Blumstein is aimed at ________.
A. determining how animals’ survival is impacted by individual plasticity
B. studying how living among humans affects animals’ survival strategies
C. comparing the effectiveness of different survival techniques
D. finding out which evolutionary factor impacts animals’ survival methods
29. Which of the following practices may contribute to animals losing anti-predator characteristics
A. Controlled breeding of animals. B. Banning the operation of eco-tourism.
C. Planned selection of favorable genes. D. Eliminating domestication.
30. Which of the following statements is Blumstein likely to agree with
A. Urbanization has made wild animals more alert.
B. Urbanization has brought concrete benefits to animals.
C. City living has led to animals’ genetic variations.
D. City living has helped to preserve animal species.
31. The animal rescue center spotted an injured fox a year ago and has since nursed it back to health. Before releasing it back to the wild, the center should probably ________.
A. expose the fox to the urban environment repeatedly
B. train the fox to co-exist with the less aggressive predators
C. intentionally get the fox accustomed to the presence of humans
D. purposefully adapt the fox to predator related environment
D
A group of 41 states and the District of Columbia began a legal case against Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger, insisting that the company knowingly used features on its platforms to cause children to overuse them. The accusations in the lawsuit raise a deeper question about behavior: Are young people becoming addicted to social media and the Internet Here’s what the research has found.
David Greenfield, a psychologist and founder of the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction in West Hartford, Conn, said the devices tempt users with some powerful approaches. One is “intermittent reinforcement,” which creates the idea that a user could get a reward at any time. But when the reward comes is unpredictable. Adults are easily influenced, he noted, but young people are particularly at risk, because the brain regions that are involved in resisting temptation and reward are not nearly as developed in children and teenagers as in adults. Moreover, the adolescent brain is especially accustomed to social connections, and social media is all a perfect opportunity to connect with other people.
For many years, the scientific community typically defined addiction in relation to substances, such as drugs, and not behaviors, such as gambling or Internet use. That has gradually changed. In 2013, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the official reference for mental health conditions, introduced the idea of Internet gaming addiction.
A subsequent study explored broadening the definition to “Internet addiction.” The author suggested further exploring diagnostic criteria and the language, for instance, noting that terms like “problematic use” and even the word “Internet” were open to broad interpretation, given the many forms the information and its delivery can take.
Dr. Michael Rich, the director of the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital, said he discouraged the use of the word “addiction” because the Internet, if used effectively and with limits, was not merely useful but also essential to everyday life.
Greenfield agreed that there clearly are valuable uses for the Internet and that the definition of how much is too much can vary. But he said there also were obvious cases where immoderate use disturbs school, sleep and other vital aspects of a healthy life. “Too many young consumers can’t put it down,” he said. “The Internet, including social media like Meta, are the drugs affecting the mind.”
32. What was Meta accused of
A. It added problematic features to its platform.
B. It started a discussion to mislead young people.
C. It tempted children to use social media too much.
D. It conducted illegal research on its parent company.
33. According to David Greenfield, users tend to be addicted to social media and the Internet due to __________ .
A. their under-developed brain
B. the random pattern of rewards
C. their desire to be socially connected
D. the possibility of escaping from reality
34. What can be concluded about the study introduced in Paragraph 4
A. Addiction is something about behaviors instead of substances.
B. The online language can be interpreted from a broad perspective.
C. Current diagnostic criteria of “Internet addiction” isn’t satisfactory.
D. There should be an agreement on the definition of the word “Internet”.
35. Dr. Michael Rich and David Greenfield both agree that__________ .
A. proper use of the Internet does good to children
B. the Internet is to blame for disturbing healthy life
C. there are cases against moderate use of the Internet
D. the word “addiction” is improperly used on the Internet

The Secret of Flowers
Anna worked with her mother in their vegetable garden every day. This was how they made their living. Anna helped her mother tend the garden, so the vegetables would be healthy and ready for the market. Anna often pretended the plants she tended were beautiful roses, like Mrs. Brown’s prize flowers.
The only person in the village who made money selling flowers was Mrs. Brown. She grew roses and sold them to flower shops in the city. Every year she joined the City Rose Festival. People thought that Mrs. Brown used magic to grow her roses. How else could she win first prize twenty years in a row
Anna loved to tend flowers. Moreover, she often dreamed about growing her own roses and winning first prize in the festival. With the prize money, she would also be able to lighten the burden at home. However, roses were too expensive for her to start.
One day, Anna visited Mrs. Brown to see her flowers. Mrs. Brown was whispering to her roses when she arrived. “Spying on me again!” Mrs. Brown frowned.
“I only came to see your flowers, Mrs. Brown.” Anna took a deep breath. “I wish I could grow beautiful roses and win a prize at the festival like you.”
“I have experience passed down from generations.” Mrs. Brown laughed. “Stick to vegetables, child. Leave flowers to those who know the secret of flowers.”
Mrs. Brown returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Anna’s face. Then she pulled up a dried-up rose, and threw it over the fence. “A plant in bad condition. Unworthy of my time,” Mrs. Brown mumbled.
Anna smiled, as she had an idea. She bowed farewell to Mrs. Brown and went out the garden gate. Mrs. Brown was busy minding her prize roses. Anna quickly bent over and grabbed the abandoned rose before rushing home. She remembered a quiet spot behind the cottage. It was the perfect place for her little rose to grow. Now, she had a chance for the festival.
Anna planted the rose in her garden and tended it carefully. ______________________

Anna planted the rose in her garden and tended it carefully. She nurtured it every day, watering it just right and making sure that it received plenty of sunlight. She talked to it softly, much like Mrs. Brown did with her roses, hoping her words would encourage it to bloom beautifully. Weeks passed, and Anna’s rose began to show signs of improvement. Its leaves grew greener, and a few buds formed at the ends of its stems.
On festival morning, Mrs. Brown passed by and saw the beautiful rose. Mrs. Brown couldn’t hide her shock. Anna carried it to the festival, where it stood out among the rows of roses. As the prizes were announced, Anna’s flower won the hearts of all. Mrs. Brown’s mouth dropped open at the result and came to ask what her secret of planting flowers was. Anna mentioned it was being able to do something she enjoyed and trying her best. Shocked and proud, her mother said excitedly in a whisper “Proud of you and your dream.”
