Carl Wilhelm Scheele ranks as one of the greatest scientists of all time, but he paid a big price for this honor.
Born in 1742 in present-day Germany, Scheele learned about chemicals from his parents starting at a young age. When he was 14, he was sent away to Gothenburg （哥德堡） to become the apprentice （学徒） of a family friend. There he spent eight years studying chemistry and conducting experiments late into the night. Next, Scheele moved around the Holy Roman Empire, working for different chemists and becoming more learned in his trade. In 1767, he moved to Stockholm, where he discovered tartaric acid （酒石酸）.
After three years in Stockholm, he became the director of the Locke Laboratory. It was there, while he was analyzing a strange reaction, that Scheele became the first person to identify oxygen.
He called the element" fire air" because he believed, based on the theories of his time, that a substance that made up fire was released from items when they burned. Scheele believed oxygen to be this substance, not understanding that oxygen is merely an element that facilitates （促进） the chemical reaction that is fire.
As historic as this discovery was, Scheele seldom got credit for it, largely because English scientist Joseph Priestley published findings on oxygen before Scheele, even though it is now generally accepted that Scheele made the actual discovery first.
Through his work, he thus exposed himself to many harmful materials. These chemicals had a deadly effect on Scheele, and he eventually died of kidney failure in 1786.
Sadly, in spite of his many achievements and the fact that he gave his life to chemistry, Car I Wilhelm Scheele is often forgotten in the history of science. Though he discovered many elements before other better-known scientists did, his unwillingness to both attend meetings of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and to publish his work allowed other scientists to take credit for discoveries that he had made.
24. Who first taught Chemistry to Scheele ________
A. His parents. B. Joseph Priestley.
C. His family friend. D. The Holy Roman Empire.
25. When did Scheele probably discover oxygen
A. In 1745. B. In 1767.
C. In 1770. D. In 1789.
26. What do the underlined words “the element” refer to ________
A. Oxygen. B. Tartaric acid.
C. The strange reaction. D. The chemical experiment.
27. What can we learn about Scheele from the text ________
A. He has been world-famous since the 1700s.
B. He actually died due to his dangerous work.
C. He discovered oxygen later than Joseph Priestley.
D. He thought his findings were not valuable at all.
C
A new study on baby birds shows that traffic noise can affect their growth and lead to lifelong harm. The finding raises new concerns about the effect of noise pollution on wildlife — and humans as well.
Researchers already knew too much noise is likely to disturb birds, making it more difficult for the parents to communicate with and care for their baby birds. But it wasn’t clear whether the noise itself could directly harm young birds.
Mylene Mariette, a be havioral ecologist at Deakin University, and her team set out to answer that question with birds held on campus in Melbourne. Australia. For 5 nights in a row, they played eggs either road noise or bird songs for several hours. The sounds were kept at a volume of 65 decibels （分贝） — about the same loudness as a conversation in a bar or city traffic. Other eggs were left in silence. After the eggs hatched, the baby birds received one of two treatments — road noise or bird songs—for another 9 nights. The baby birds heard the sounds in a separate room, and then were returned to their nests.
Eggs exposed to traffic sounds were 19% less likely to hatch compared with those exposed to the sound of songs. It shows a clear effect of traffic noise, Mariette says. As the baby birds developed, they also showed worrying development signs. Those exposed to noise grew slower. Moreover, when those birds grew up, they had about half as many offspring （后代） as the birds exposed to songs as youngsters.
Hans Slabbekoom, an ecologist and animal behavior expert at Leiden University, notes that these concerns apply to humans as well. " The findings suggest that the acoustic （听觉的）environment of birds in cities and along highways should be better managed, “he writes,” and that the acoustic comfort in hospital environments for pregnant mothers and babies requires special attention.” Eventually, the research might help reveal how much and in what ways noise pollution should be reduced.
28. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on about the study ________
A. Its process. B. Its result.
C. Its difficulty. D. Its purpose.
29. How are the findings explained in paragraph 4 ________
A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing reasons.
C. By making comparisons. D. By making predictions.
30. What do the findings indicate ________
A. Move the birds from cities to protected areas.
B. Make laws to close highways and other noisy places.
C. Educate people on the bad effects of noise pollution.
D. Pay special attention to the hospital environment for babies.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text ________
A. Traffic noise helps birds communicate
B. Scientists have found ways to reduce noise
C. Hospital environments are greatly affected
D. Traffic noise causes lifelong harm to baby birds
D
A bot is a software program that often works by itself on the internet to perform the same kinds of actions as humans do. The report, produced by California-based internet security company Imperva, found that 49.6 percent of worldwide internet traffic （互联网流量） came from bots in 2023, while from human users fell to 50.4 percent. Imperva’s study also found that web traffic linked to “bad bots” grew to 32 percent in 2023, a rise of 30.2 percent from 2022. Nanhi Singh, a security advisor at Imperva, said that bots are currently one of growing threats facing almost every industry.
Bots are generally designed to visit websites and independently search for many kinds of online information. They are able to operate at much greater speeds than humans and can process repeated searches and process large amounts of data. Online search advisor Yoast notes that some bots are considered good because they can be useful to individuals through tools such as OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT. Some others are considered malicious, because they are trained to hack, or break into network computer systems. These kinds of bots pretend themselves as humans and collect private data or financial information that can be used to commit crimes. And some bots are even designed to spread misinformation and false news.
The study also suggested that some countries have a much bigger problem with bad bots than others. Web traffic linked to bad bots in 2023 accounted for 71 percent in Ireland while Germany was next, with 67.5 percent. The percentage of Mexico and the USA was reported to be 42.8 percent and 35.4 percent respectively. Imperva even reported that bad bot activity would lead to account takeovers, which increased 10 percent in 2023 over 2022. The highest number of account takeovers — 36.8 percent— happened in the financial services industry. Next was the travel industry, with 11.5 percent, followed by business services at eight percent.
Nanhi Singh said the problem is likely to worsen in coming years to the point where such bots would exist everywhere. She urged organizations to introduce bot management and security tools in an effort to limit automated traffic and prevent dangerous account takeovers.
32. What did Imperva’s study find ________
A. Bad bots caused 49.6% of web traffic in 2023.
B. Traffic from human users fell to the second in 2023.
C. Web traffic linked to “bad bots” rose sharply in 2023.
D. Nearly half of the world’s web traffic was caused by bad bots in 2023.
33. What does the underlined word “malicious” in Paragraph 2 mean ________
A. Useful. B. Dependable.
C. Harmful. D. Irresponsible.
34. What is Nandi Singh’s attitude towards current situation of web traffic ________
A. Optimistic. B. Satisfied.
C. Concerned. D. Conservative.
35. What can be learned about bots from the passage ________
A. Every industry is currently threatened by bots.
B. Bots can be both helpful and troublesome.
C. Bots can search for online information by themselves.
D. Web traffic linked to bad bots was the most serious problem in Ireland in 2023.

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。
Hannah and I have been best friends since primary school and we spend almost every day with each other, sharing everything happening in our daily life and discussing problems in our school work. Sometimes, other children say we are no fun because we are both very academic and like to study, but we like it that way. We are both very hard-working and always get good grades at school.
Last Monday, we had a surprise math quiz. Thinking it was quite easy, I was not worried about the results at all. I must have sounded very proud of myself after the quiz, saying how easy it was and how I was sure to get a good grade. Unexpectedly, the next day after class, my math teacher told me that I had the lowest grade in the class! My heart sank and a great sense of shame washed over me. I must be really stupid to fail a simple math quiz!
Afterwards, I pretended to be cheerful, as if nothing had happened, but Hannah sensed something was wrong. When we went to wash our hands in the girls’ washroom before lunch, Hannah tried to figure out what was the matter. Struggling to hold back my tears, I admitted I had failed the math quiz. “But you are a born math genius and you have put all your efforts in it. There must be some mistakes!” Hannah couldn’t believe her ears. “I shouldn’t have been so confident. Would you please keep it a secret for me ” I begged. Hannah nodded, promising not to tell anyone else about the secret.
However, that afternoon I noticed that my classmates were staring at me as I came into math class and, when I went to sit down, I was shocked to find a piece of paper on my desk that said,. “Stupid Sarah got a D!” I was so upset that I felt like crying. I thought that Hannah must have told my classmates about my grade after promising not to. Everyone must have been laughing behind my back!

（1）续写词数应为150个左右；

I was so angry that I went straight to Hannah. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
