Armed conflicts are known to impact humans significantly, but their effects on animals have often been underestimated. A recent study in Current Biology emphasized that the migration and reproduction of the endangered Greater Spotted Eagle may have been influenced by the Ukraine crisis.
The Greater Spotted Eagle is listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s red list. They migrate through Ukraine between wintering areas in southern Europe and East Africa and key breeding grounds in southern Belarus in spring. The research team studied 19 migrating GPS-tagged Greater Spotted Eagles in March and April of 2022. The flight altitude during this period was relatively low, about 350 meters, exposing them to regions of intense human conflicts.
Their data suggested that increased military activity like jets, tanks and other weapons could disturb the eagles. When exposed to such events, the eagles might change their flight path to escape. The researchers found that while migrating through Ukraine, the eagles deviated 10 percent more from the previous route compared to the past few years, which resulted in longer migration distances.
Also, the birds made about 60 percent fewer stops during the migration. Human conflicts can affect the eagle’s decisions about when to take breaks during their journey, leading them to choose to keep moving even when they might need to rest. More notably, the eagles, which breed relatively slowly, face disturbance that impacts chick care and breeding success. “Armed conflicts can have wide-ranging influence on the environment, including changes in animal behavior,” said Charlie Russell, a researcher from the University of East Anglia, UK, in a statement to the journal Cell.
Russel stated that animals have long been harmed by human armed conflicts and military activities. For example, during the Sudanese Civil War between 1983 and 2005 South Sudan’s elephant population fell from 100,000 to 5,000.
A large number of animal protection organizations have carried out disaster relief work to rescue, feed, treat and support animals during conflicts. However, very few have the resources to tackle the root problems. International humanitarian law lacks clear rules to relieve animal suffering in armed conflicts.
How did armed conflicts affect Greater Spotted Eagle
A. By changing their behaviors. B. By destroying their living environment.
C. By breaking their eating habits. D. By hurting their bodies with weapons.
25. What does the underlined word “deviated” in the third paragraph mean
A. Sought for. B. Set out. C. Sped up. D. Kept away.
26. What can people do to protect the animals in the future
A. Raise public awareness. B. Gain financial support.
C. Improve relevant laws. D. Use new technology.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Animals caught up in wars B. Cares provided to animals
C. Conflicts brought by animals D. Measures taken about animal crisis
C
The negative nature of peer pressure is often presented without question. The undesirable effect of peer pressure cannot be denied, but is it also possible that peer pressure might not entirely deserve its bad reputation Could peer pressure also have positive effects on the personal development and behavior of young people A look at the scientific literature reveals exactly that: peer pressure is not always a force for the dark side.
Many studies suggest that peer pressure and the desire to conform (顺从) are simply a part of being human. Humans, after all, are highly social beings. If humans are hard-wired to respond to peer pressure, then it makes sense to examine how it can be used to change behavior in a positive way. Imagine a situation: student X has always enjoyed playing the guitar but is lazy and unmotivated. Although initially unwilling, she is persuaded to join a school band. The group of students is preparing for a performance and the existing members are enthusiastic, focused and hardworking. Gradually, student X is caught up in the spirit of the band and before long she is willingly making the same commitment of time and effort so they can all achieve a common goal.
So how does it work Peer pressure — both positive and negative — follows a recognizable psychological process. If student X does not conform to the established culture of the band, she risks rejection. To dispel this tension, student X changes her habits and increases the amount of time and energy she devotes to practice. Some psychologists describe this rearrangement of personal goals or standards to achieve harmony as part of a group as an “identity shift”.
The key to understanding the concept of peer pressure and its power over humans is to closely examine the science of the process, rather than focus on its negative aspects. Providing a one-dimensional view of the concept encourages the bias(偏见) that peer pressure is a strictly undesirable feature of human society. Instead, we should be exploring ways to use its power for good.
28. Why does the author raise the two questions about peer pressure in paragraph 1
A. To present misinterpretations of it. B. To encourage reflection on it.
C. To doubt the investigations into it. D. To show general perceptions of it.
29. What should student X do to fit into the band
A. Enhance her leadership. B. Stick to her old routines.
C. Learn to play more instruments. D. Invest more energy in playing the guitar.
30. What does the underlined word “dispel” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Hide. B. Sense. C. Remove. D. Display.
31. How does the author look at peer pressure
A. It can be put to good use.
B. It is an unwanted feature of human society.
C. It goes far beyond scientific explanation.
D. It has more advantages than disadvantages.
D
Google’s recently introduced Willow quantum chip (量子芯片) is a significant breakthrough in the field of quantum computing. It has 105 physical quantum bits and can complete a complex benchmark (基准) calculation in less than five minutes, while the fastest common computer would take 1025 years for the same task. This chip represents a major technological breakthrough as it solves the long-standing problem of quantum error correction.
The working mechanism of Willow is centered around its advanced error correction processes. It uses quantum correction codes, where multiple physical quantum bits are networked to create a single logical quantum bit, allowing for the identification of errors without disturbing the original quantum state. The chip also incorporates a system of active supervision that continuously monitors qubit (quamtum bit) behavior, detects abnormalities in real time, and take measures immediately to correct errors.
This combination of real-time error correction and constant monitoring, along with an optimized architecture for handling qubits, enables Willow to reduce errors exponentially (呈指数增长) as the number of qubits increases. This is a major achievement, solving a problem that has plagued the field for nearly 30 years and paving the way for more powerful and practical quantum computing systems in the future.
The potential applications of Willow are vast, including quickening drug discovery, improving electric vehicle battery design, and advancing fusion energy and new energy alternatives. In conclusion, Google’s Willow quantum chip holds great promise for the future of computing and various industries.
However, it should be noted that Willow is still in the laboratory stage and requires further testing and improvement before practical application. It currently has 105 qubits, still too small to handle truly useful and complex real-world tasks. Experts suggest that millions of qubits should be needed to solve important industry problems. Moreover, the chip needs to operate in extremely low-temperature and highly controlled laboratory environments, which limits its immediate practical use. Therefore, while Willow shows great promise for the future of quantum computing, it is not yet ready for practical applications at present.
32．What should be left undisturbed when solving the problem of quantum error correction
A．Quantum correction codes. B．The network of quantum errors.
C．The original state of quantum. D．The system of active supervision.
33．What does the underlined word “plagued” in paragraph 3 most probably mean
A．Caused trouble to. B．Made use of. C．Had difficulty in. D．Set standards for.
34．Which of the following limits Willow’s practical use
A．Narrow application market. B．Small qubit number.
C．High testing cost. D．Possible environment pollution.
35．Which of the following would be the Best Title for this article
A．Willow: A Quantum Chip Setting New Benchmark
B．Google’s Willow: The End of Computing Problems
C．Willow Quantum Chip: Ready for Practical Application
D．Google’s Willow: Innovations and Limitations

Drinking coffee has been linked to a reduced risk of developing type II diabetes, neurological conditions such as dementia, and even death. 36
How decaf compares to regular coffee
The good news is that many of coffee’s health benefits are still found in decaffeinated (脱咖啡因) coffee. The reason for this is thought to be due to the levels of antioxidants (抗氧化剂) in coffee beans, many of which remain even after the caffeine has been removed. Reduced though, the overall levels of antioxidants are still high. 37
The pros and cons of caffeine
Researchers found a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and death in all coffee drinkers, which included people who drank decaf. Also, caffeine can help alleviate migraines (偏头痛).
38 In the short-term, consuming too much caffeine can cause jitteriness, sleep disruptions, headaches, or a racing heart. Long-term, consuming too much caffeine can lead to withdrawal symptoms, such as headaches, if a person tries to stop.
39
One of the reasons that the health benefits of coffee have been debated for so long is due to the fact that its consumption can often go hand in hand with other habits. Researchers found coffee drinking was associated with a higher rate of smoking cigarettes — and that the health risks they faced such as lung cancer were due to smoking rather than coffee. Another study found, regular coffee consumption is associated with a reduced amount of weight gain over time. 40 This held true whether people were drinking regular or decaf coffee. “Having unsweetened coffee seems to be the way to go,” Ball says.
A．Context matters.
B．The hidden cause and effect.
C．The effects of caffeine can vary, however.
D．That can translate to real benefits for decaf drinkers.
E．Physicians should stop telling patients to stop drinking coffee.
F．But only if drinkers had their coffee black or with cream, but no sugar.
G．But as people increasingly turn to decaf, are they still getting those same benefits

Callie was a high school student, because of her parents’ business, her family moved from London to Los Angeles where she grew up. Living in a quiet and warm community with her parents, Callie was very interested in various volunteer activities in the community, and almost no one in the community didn’t know her.
On a sunny afternoon, Callie was reading a poem when she heard a soft knock. She stood up at once and opened the door. Her favorite neighbor, Mrs. Baker, stood outside the door.
“I need your help, Callie,” Mrs. Baker said, “and do you know the empty lot down the street ” Callie nodded, smiling. “The place is a mess, covered with trash. The city is letting us use the lot as a community garden,” she explained. “We need help to clean up the lot on Saturday.” “Sure, Mrs. Baker!” Callie said cheerfully. “Just have nothing to do this Saturday. I will be happy to help you!” Mrs. Baker looked pleased and said, “Thanks, Callie. We want to get the garden planted before summer. By then, adults and children in our community will have had a good place to go.”
At school the next morning, Callie’s close friend Tamara was waiting for her by their classroom, who had a surprise for her. Tamara said, “My mom bought tickets to Fun World this Saturday. She has an extra one for you!” The girls had been waiting for months for the amusement park to reopen.
Callie sighed and worried over how to choose for the rest of the day. Her mother noticed her mood when she arrived home. “Did something go wrong at school ” her mother asked. Callie explained her problem. “What should I do, Mom ” Callie asked. “I know you want to go with Tamara and also want to help Mrs. Baker. Think carefully about your choice, and you need to make your own decision. But I know you will do what is best.” her mother answered.
