Many unique caves in the world are found on the shores of oceans and lakes. They are always there to attract visitors across the globe.
Sea Lion Caves
Found on the Oregon Coast, it’s well-known as the only mainland breeding ground (繁殖地) of the Steller sea lion, a near-threatened species. It’s also the longest sea cave in North America, measuring1,315 feet long. Most of the cave is at sea level and is flooded with water at high tide. One section of the cave, sitting 50 feet higher, serves as a platform to view the creatures’ habitat.
Apostle Islands Sea Caves
Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands Sea Caves are sandstone caves on the shores of Lake Superior. The caves are accessible by boat in summer, but seeing the caves during winter has become a popular, if weather-dependent, alternative. When Lake Superior freezes, the ice is sometimes thick enough to allow hikers to walk across the lake and explore the caves.
Great Blue Hole
Located off the coast of Belize, it’s a vertical cave that’s entirely underwater. It measures 984 feet in diameter and 410 feet deep. With its beautiful, clear water and a variety of wild marine life residing in its depths, the Great Blue Hole is most famous as a scuba-diving destination. Although the Great Blue Hole is one of the most spectacular, it’s not the world’s only blue hole.
Painted Cave
The Painted Cave, located on California’s Santa Cruz Island, is an expansive sea cave known for the colorful rocks, lichen and algae found on its walls. After the Sea Lion Caves, it’s the second-longest sea cave in North America, at 1,227 feet long. The cave is a popular kayaking (划艇) destination since the cave’s bottom is underwater for its entire length.

4.(2025·重庆市南开中学高三第五次质量检测)
Kenya is a microcosm of Africa. So, in case Kenya doesn’t already feature on your list of dream destinations, Jane Barsby, a travel writer, tells you why it should.
The Masai Mara
Home to the“greatest wildlife show on earth” - the annual migration of one-and-a-half million wildebeest and their accompanying animals - the Masai Mara remains Kenya’s most famous reserve thanks to the brilliance of its game viewing.
Walking is not allowed here, so if you’d like to hike across the Greater Mara, visit one of the many private conservancies that border the reserve.
The Karen District
Perhaps the greatest single influence on the country’s tourism was the Danish writer Karen Blixen, whose book Out of Africa begins with the words, “I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills”, and you can visit his house in the Karen district, where it has been turned into a museum.
While in Karen, why not stroke a giraffe at the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife Giraffe Centre or cuddle a baby elephant at the Wildlife Trust’s Elephant Shelter
Gedi
On the silver-blue Swahili coastline are the remains of the thirteenth-century town of Gedi, which was allegedly deserted by its occupants at the approach of cannibals (食人族). Now it is a picturesque ruin with wretched streets, market places, palaces and mosques, all buried in the dense coastal forest.
Near the entrance to Gedi is Kipepeo, a butterfly farm where you can witness the entire cycle of a butterfly’s life.
Western Kenya
For an entirely different take on Kenya, visit western Kenya - famous for its green quilt of tea bushes which once you’ve sipped, you’ ll never regard this delicious drink in quite the same light again.
For the ultimate experience spend a night or two at the Kericho Tea Hotel.
1.Which activity is available in the Karen district
A.Visiting a science museum.
B.Interacting with wild animals.
C.Watching butterflies’ life cycle.
D.Exploring the local cuisine.
2.Where can you enjoy ocean views
A.Gedi. B.The Karen District.
C.Western Kenya. D.The Masai Mara.
3.Where is the passage probably taken from
A.A science journal. B.A literary review.
C.A historical document. D.A tourism brochure.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章以旅游作家Jane Barsby的视角,向大家推荐了四个位于肯尼亚的四个著名旅游胜地。
1.细节理解题。根据第五段“While in Karen, why not stroke a giraffe at the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife Giraffe Centre or cuddle a baby elephant at the Wildlife Trust’s Elephant Shelter (在Karen,为什么不在非洲濒危野生动物基金会长颈鹿中心抚摸长颈鹿,或者在野生动物信托基金会的大象收容所拥抱小象呢?)”可知,在Karen地区,游客可以抚摸长颈鹿,拥抱小象来与野生动物进行互动。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据第六段“On the silver-blue Swahili coastline are the remains of the thirteenth-century town of Gedi, which was allegedly deserted by its occupants at the approach of cannibals (食人族). Now it is a picturesque ruin with wretched streets, market places, palaces and mosques, all buried in the dense coastal forest.(在银蓝色的斯瓦希里海岸线上,有13世纪格迪镇的遗迹,据说在食人族接近时,它的居民抛弃了它。现在,它是一个风景如画的废墟,破败的街道、市场、宫殿和清真寺都被淹没在茂密的沿海森林中。)”可知,Gedi位于海岸线上,现在这里风景如画,因此在Gedi可以欣赏到海景。故选A。
3.推理判断题。根据第一段“Kenya is a microcosm of Africa. So, in case Kenya doesn’t already feature on your list of dream destinations, Jane Barsby, a travel writer, tells you why it should.(肯尼亚是非洲的一个缩影。所以,如果肯尼亚还没有出现在你的梦想目的地名单上,旅游作家简·巴斯比告诉你为什么它应该出现在你的名单上。)”可知,旅游作家简·巴斯比向大家推荐了肯尼亚的四个旅游胜地。因此本文取自旅游手册。故选D。

题型二 阅读理解之细节理解---间接信息题
1.(2025·河北省沧州市沧州市联考高三月考)
In Mexico City’s Polanco neighborhood, Catia Lattouf has turned her apartment into a clinic for sick, injured, or baby hummingbirds. Over the past decade, though lacking formal training, she has nursed hundreds of these tiny birds back to health.
Lattouf, a 73-year-old French literature enthusiast, has become a go-to resource for bird lovers across Mexico and Latin America. The shelter converted from apartment to clinic supports more formal institutions like the Iztacala campus of Mexico’s National Autonomous University, which sometimes refers cases to her due to limited resources.
Lattouf began caring for hummingbirds a year after surviving colon cancer in 2011. It started with one hummingbird that had an eye injury. A veterinarian (兽医) friend encouraged her to try to help it. She named it Gucci after the brand of the glasses case she kept it in. The bird became her inseparable companion and helped pull her out of the sadness and loneliness she experienced after her husband’s death followed by her own struggle with cancer. “It wrote me a new life,” she said.
Lattouf never turns away a bird. Together with her partner Cecilia Santos, they care for the birds in long days that stretch from 5 A.m. into the night. Most of the hummingbirds are in the bedroom where Lattouf sleeps until they are strong enough to fly and feed themselves. Then she moves them to a neighboring room to prepare them for release in a wooded area on the city’s south side.
Many of them do manage to return to the wild, but the ones who die under Lattouf’s care are buried near her building between small plants. Despite threats to hummingbirds from constant construction projects that replace flower gardens with concrete, Lattouf remains optimistic and hopes other bird lovers will plant more flowers to feed these great pollinators (传粉者).
4.What does the underlined word “converted” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Reduced. B.Transformed. C.Protected. D.Simplified.
5.Why did Lattouf start caring for hummingbirds
A.She wanted to honor her late husband. B.Raising birds was her childhood dream.
C.She needed a hobby after surviving cancer. D.A friend asked her to help with an injured bird.
6.What is one of the threats to hummingbirds according to the last paragraph
A.Increased use of chemicals in gardens.
B.Climate change leading to loss of habitat.
C.Building projects replacing flower gardens.
D.Pollution of water sources in their natural environment.
7.What can be inferred about Catia Lattouf based on the text
A.She is unfriendly and only works with birds.
B.She is wealthy as she keeps birds in her bedroom.
C.She is positive and has found a new purpose in life.
D.She is qualified as she has received formal training in bird care.
【答案】4.B 5.D 6.C 7.C
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Catia Lattouf在墨西哥城 Polanco区将她的公寓改造成一个鸟诊所,专门照顾受伤、生病和幼小的蜂鸟的故事。
4.词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In Mexico City’s Polanco neighborhood, Catia Lattouf has turned her apartment into a clinic for sick, injured, or baby hummingbirds.(在墨西哥城的Polanco社区,Catia Lattouf把她的公寓变成了一个诊所,为生病、受伤或蜂鸟宝宝提供服务)”及画线词后文“from apartment to clinic (从公寓到诊所)可知,Catia Lattouf将她的公寓改造成了一个鸟诊所,由此可猜测,划线单词宝石“转变”,与Transformed意思相近。故选B。
5.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Lattouf began caring for hummingbirds a year after surviving colon cancer in 2011. It started with one hummingbird that had an eye injury. A veterinarian (兽医) friend encouraged her to try to help it.(2011年,拉图夫从结肠癌中幸存下来,一年后开始照顾蜂鸟。事情始于一只眼睛受伤的蜂鸟。一位兽医朋友鼓励她试着去帮助它)”可知,Lattouf在2011年战胜结肠癌一年后开始照顾蜂鸟,起初是因为一只眼睛受伤的蜂鸟,她的兽医朋友鼓励她尝试帮助这只鸟,由此可知,她开始这一行为是因为朋友的请求。故选D。
6.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Despite threats to hummingbirds from constant construction projects that replace flower gardens with concrete, Lattouf remains optimistic and hopes other bird lovers will plant more flowers to feed these great pollinators (传粉者). (尽管不断的建设项目用混凝土取代花园对蜂鸟构成威胁,但拉图夫仍然保持乐观,并希望其他鸟类爱好者种植更多的花来喂养这些伟大的传粉者)”可知,持续的建设活动将花园替换成了混凝土,这对蜂鸟构成了威胁,这直接指出了城市建设项目取代花园是威胁蜂鸟生存的一个因素。故选C。
7.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Lattouf began caring for hummingbirds a year after surviving colon cancer in 2011. It started with one hummingbird that had an eye injury. A veterinarian (兽医) friend encouraged her to try to help it. She named it Gucci after the brand of the glasses case she kept it in. The bird became her inseparable companion and helped pull her out of the sadness and loneliness she experienced after her husband’s death followed by her own struggle with cancer. “It wrote me a new life,” she said. ( 2011年,拉图夫从结肠癌中幸存下来,一年后开始照顾蜂鸟。事情始于一只眼睛受伤的蜂鸟。一位兽医朋友鼓励她试着去帮助它。她把它命名为Gucci,这是她保存它的玻璃盒的牌子。这只鸟成了她形影不离的伴侣,帮助她走出了丈夫去世后经历的悲伤和孤独,以及她自己与癌症的斗争。“它给我带来了新的生活,”她说)”可知,Lattouf通过照顾蜂鸟克服悲伤和孤独,这表明她是一个乐观的人,并且在生命中找到了新的目标和意义,尽管经历了个人悲剧,她仍然保持积极态度并致力于保护这些小鸟。故选C。

Artificial intelligence can help accurately map and track penguin colonies (聚居地) in Antarctica by analysing tourist photos. “Right now, everyone has a camera in their pocket, and so the amount of data being collected around the world is incredible,” says Heather Lynch at Stony Brook University in New York.
Haoyu Wu at Stony Brook University and his colleagues, including Lynch, used an AI tool to highlight Adélie penguins in photographs taken by tourists or scientists on the ground. With guidance from a human expert, the AI tool was able to automatically identify and outline entire colonies in photos. This semi-automated method is much faster than doing everything manually (手动地) because the AI tool takes just 5 to 10 seconds per image, compared with a person taking 1 to 2 minutes. The team also created a 3D digital model of the Antarctic landscape using satellite imagery and data. By identifying landscape details in the tourist pictures, the researchers could place the photographer, then the penguin colony, accurately within the 3D model.
This transformation of ground photos into a bird’s-eye view allows researchers to track how penguin colonies change in location and population size over time, which could prove especially helpful in remote regions of the world. Such tracking is important because Adélie penguins are considered a sentinel species, meaning shifts in their population are an indicator of climate change. The AI-assisted technique can also employ historical imagery to track phenomena such as glacier changes that “occur very slowly and may only be evident by looking across decades of time”, says Lynch.
But researchers remain divided over the impacts of Antarctic tourism — the two large Adélie penguin groups evaluated by the researchers are often visited by tour ships. “Some are worried that, by encouraging tourists to do citizen science, we are justifying their trips, which will be used by the cruise (游轮) companies to sell more tickets,” says Fretwell.
12.Where did the research data come from
A.Expert data base. B.Maps marked by AI.
C.3D digital model. D.Images shot by tourists.
13.What role did AI play in highlighting Adélie penguins
A.It served as an assistant. B.It acted as a predictor.
C.It replaced the human experts. D.It conducted the entire research.
14.Why did the researchers track the changes of Adélie penguin colonies
A.To gather data on tourism. B.To monitor penguin behaviors.
C.To examine the effects of AI. D.To further study the climate change.
15.Which of the following best describes researchers’ attitudes towards Antarctic tourism
A.Unclear. B.Controversial. C.Indifferent. D.Supportive.
【答案】12.D 13.A 14.D 15.B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能通过分析游客照片,可以帮助准确绘制和跟踪南极企鹅聚居地。
12.细节理解题。由文章第一段“Artificial intelligence can help accurately map and track penguin colonies (聚居地) in Antarctica by analysing tourist photos.(人工智能可以通过分析游客照片,帮助准确绘制和跟踪南极企鹅聚居地。)”和第二段第一句“Haoyu Wu at Stony Brook University and his colleagues, including Lynch, used an AI tool to highlight Adélie penguins in photographs taken by tourists or scientists on the ground.(纽约石溪大学的吴浩宇和他的同事,包括林奇,使用了一种人工智能工具来突出游客或地面科学家拍摄的照片中的阿德利企鹅。)”可知,研究数据来自游客拍摄的照片。故选D项。
13.细节理解题。由文章第二段“Haoyu Wu at Stony Brook University and his colleagues, including Lynch, used an AI tool to highlight Adélie penguins in photographs taken by tourists or scientists on the ground. With guidance from a human expert, the AI tool was able to automatically identify and outline entire colonies in photos.(纽约石溪大学的吴浩宇和他的同事,包括林奇,使用了一种人工智能工具来突出游客或地面科学家拍摄的照片中的阿德利企鹅。在人工专家的指导下,人工智能工具能够自动识别并勾勒出照片中整个企鹅聚居地的轮廓。)”可知,人工智能在突出阿德利企鹅方面起到了助手的作用。故选A项。
14.推理判断题。由文章第三段“Such tracking is important because Adélie penguins are considered a sentinel species, meaning shifts in their population are an indicator of climate change.(这种跟踪很重要,因为阿德利企鹅被认为是一种指示物种,意味着它们种群的变化是气候变化的指标。)”可知,研究人员跟踪阿德利企鹅聚居地的变化是为了进一步研究气候变化。故选D项。
15.推理判断题。由文章最后一段“But researchers remain divided over the impacts of Antarctic tourism — the two large Adélie penguin groups evaluated by the researchers are often visited by tour ships. “Some are worried that, by encouraging tourists to do citizen science, we are justifying their trips, which will be used by the cruise (游轮) companies to sell more tickets,” says Fretwell.(但是,研究人员对南极洲旅游业的影响仍然存在分歧——研究人员评估的两个大型阿德利企鹅群经常受到游船的光顾。“一些人担心,通过鼓励游客进行公民科学活动,我们是在为他们的旅行找借口,这将被游轮公司用来出售更多的船票,”弗雷特威尔说。)”可知,研究人员对南极洲旅游业的态度是有争议的。故选B项。

Returning to the gym for the first time after a pause can be an awkward experience, your shoulders quaking and muscles trembling. However, discontinuous workout may not ultimately end up with weakened muscles, thanks to a phenomenon known as muscle memory. You might associate the term with the idea that you can jump back on a bike after years of not riding one, or undertake other previously-learned activities that involve motor skills and almost instinctively (本能的) remember how.
This brain-muscle connection is undoubtedly part of the story, but many exercise scientists have realized muscle memory is more than neuromuscular (神经肌肉的) conditioning. Changes deep inside our thread-like muscle cells may also explain why previously trained muscles grow back more quickly after taking up exercise again.
Eeli Halonen, a competitive bodybuilder and doctoral student in exercise physiology at the University of Jyvaskyla in Finland, recalls the muscle mass he lost after a long break from training. What surprised him was the speed at which he regained his strength. To discover more about muscle recovery, Halonen conducted a controlled trial with his team. Half of over 40 untrained individuals were required to follow a 20-week workout program continuously for 20 weeks, while the other half split their training into two 10-week sessions with a 10-week break in between. During their break, participants experienced “significant” decreases in muscle size and, to a lesser extent, strength. However, it took only five weeks of retraining for them to return to their previous levels.
“It’s a positive finding for those who need to take time off for whatever reason; you can rest assured that your muscles will readapt quite readily. People tend to overestimate how much exercise is needed to maintain muscle mass. The good news is that ‘A little bit of exercise can go a pretty long way in maintaining function and size’,” says Halonen.
8.Which statement about “muscle memory” is correct
A.It prevents muscles growth.
B.It is the core of a new concept.
C.Its another function has been found.
D.Its connection with motor skills proves a mistake.
9.What motivated Halonen to carry out the controlled trail
A.His favorite sport. B.His own experience.
C.His desire to be stronger. D.His academic requirement.
10.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.It is important to take a rest to keep fit.
B.A little of exercise can hardly be beneficial.
C.Don’t worry too much about interrupted workout.
D.The longer time you rest, the more quickly muscle recovers.
11.Which is the best title of the passage
A.Less is more B.Restart, regain
C.Pausing is reducing D.Once start, never stop
【答案】8.C 9.B 10.C 11.B
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了不连续锻炼未必导致肌肉变弱,这得益于肌肉记忆,而肌肉记忆不仅涉及脑肌联系,肌肉细胞深处变化也有关。Eeli Halonen基于自身经历开展试验,证实中断锻炼者重新训练恢复快,不必过于担心锻炼中断。
8.细节理解题。根据第二段“This brain-muscle connection is undoubtedly part of the story, but many exercise scientists have realized muscle memory is more than neuromuscular (神经肌肉的) conditioning. Changes deep inside our thread-like muscle cells may also explain why previously trained muscles grow back more quickly after taking up exercise again. (这种脑肌联系无疑是其中的一部分,但许多运动科学家已经意识到肌肉记忆不仅仅是神经肌肉调节。我们线状肌肉细胞深处的变化也可以解释为什么以前训练过的肌肉在再次运动后会长得更快)”可知,肌肉记忆不仅仅是神经肌肉调节,它涉及到的线状肌肉细胞深处的变化也促成了肌肉的迅速恢复,也就说它的另一个功能被发现了。故选C项。
9.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Eeli Halonen, a competitive bodybuilder and doctoral student in exercise physiology at the University of Jyvaskyla in Finland, recalls the muscle mass he lost after a long break from training. What surprised him was the speed at which he regained his strength. To discover more about muscle recovery, Halonen conducted a controlled trial with his team. (Eeli Halonen是一名竞技健美运动员,也是芬兰Jyvaskyla大学运动生理学博士生,他回忆起自己在长时间停止训练后失去的肌肉量。使他吃惊的是他恢复力量的速度之快。为了发现更多关于肌肉恢复的信息,Halonen和他的团队进行了一项对照试验)”可知,Halonen是因为自己长时间停止训练后肌肉恢复的经历,进行这项对照试验的。故选B项。
10.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s a positive finding for those who need to take time off for whatever reason; you can rest assured that your muscles will readapt quite readily. People tend to overestimate how much exercise is needed to maintain muscle mass. The good news is that ‘A little bit of exercise can go a pretty long way in maintaining function and size’ (对于那些出于任何原因需要休假的人来说,这是一个积极的发现;你可以放心,你的肌肉会很快适应的。人们往往高估了维持肌肉质量所需的运动量。好消息是,“少量的锻炼对保持身体机能和体型大有帮助”)”可知,锻炼期间去休假不会太影响肌肉水平,少量的锻炼就能发挥很大作用。由此可知,不用太担心锻炼中断的问题。故选C项。
11.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“Returning to the gym for the first time after a pause can be an awkward experience, your shoulders quaking and muscles trembling. However, discontinuous workout may not ultimately end up with weakened muscles, thanks to a phenomenon known as muscle memory. (暂停一段时间后第一次回到健身房可能是一种尴尬的经历,你的肩膀在颤抖,肌肉在颤抖。然而,由于一种被称为肌肉记忆的现象,不连续的锻炼最终可能不会导致肌肉变弱)”可知,文章围绕中断锻炼后重新开始锻炼展开,指出肌肉记忆能让肌肉在重新开始锻炼后快速恢复到之前水平,并用Eeli Halonen的研究结果加以证实。因此,B项“重新开始,重新恢复”能很好地概括文章主旨,适合用作文章标题。故选B项。

Wrapped in a shiny metal suit, Katia Krafft’s small frame appeared insignificant next to the red curtain of boiling rock that burst from the ground before her. The dramatic moment was captured in a photo taken atop Iceland’s Krafla volcano in 1984. “Once you see an eruption, you can’t live without it because it’s so magnificent, so strong,” says Krafft, a fearless pioneer in volcanology, studying the explosive peaks at a time when there were few women in the field.
The moment a volcano exploded, she and her husband, Maurice Krafft, also a volcancoogist, dropped everything to analyze and capture the beauty and mystery of each event. These stunning pictures allowed researchers to dissect (剖析) the complex details of each eruption like never before.
The Kraffts initially focused their work on so-called effusive (溢流式的) eruptions, which, though still dangerous, are usually less deadly than their explosive relatives. But two disasters led the Kraffts to turn their eyes on the destructive impacts of the latter. In 1980 the eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington killed 57 people, and in 1985, the eruption of Colombia’s Nevado del Ruiz killed more than 20,000 people.
The couple used their recordings of explosive eruptions to explain the complex risks and uncertainties of these disasters. Their videos are credited as one of the main reasons that officials in the Philippines took the warning signs of Mount Pinatubo’s eruption in 1991 seriously. Yet the Kraffts didn’t live to see it. They died less than two weeks earlier in Japan during a terrible eruption.
Katia’s impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has inspired many young women to study our restless planet. At age 16, Marie-Claude Williamson, now a research scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada, met Katia during an evening lecture where the Kraffts were narrating one of their films. “It was largely the vision of the extraordinary woman I briefly encountered when I was 16 that kept me going.” she says.
1.What did the Kraffts do when a volcano erupted
A.They sent once warnings. B.They shot the process.
C.They wrote down the details. D.They analyzed the causes.
2.What can be learned about the two eruptions in the 1980s
A.They were effusive eruptions.
B.They took place in the US.
C.They were recorded by the Kraffts.
D.They changed the Kraffts’ career focus.
3.What’s the purpose of filming explosive eruptions
A.To show the beauty of volcanoes.
B.To predict future volcanic activities.
C.To share knowledge of volcanic risks.
D.To guide government policy-making.
4.Which of the following words can best describe Katia
A.Enthusiastic and modest. B.Humorous and professional.
C.Ambitious and generous. D.Courageous and influential.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.C 4.D
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了火山学家克拉夫特夫妇的工作以及他们对火山学的贡献。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The moment a volcano exploded, she and her husband, Maurice Krafft, also a volcanologist, dropped everything to analyze and capture the beauty and mystery of each event. These stunning pictures allowed researchers to dissect the complex details of each eruption like never before.(火山爆发的那一刻,她和同为火山学家的丈夫莫里斯·克拉夫特放下一切,分析并捕捉每一个事件的美丽和神秘。这些令人惊叹的照片使研究人员能够以前所未有的方式剖析每次火山喷发的复杂细节。)”可知,火山爆发时,克拉夫特夫妇要拍摄了这个过程。故选B项。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“The Kraffts initially focused their work on so-called effusive (溢流式的) eruptions, which, though still dangerous, are usually less deadly than their explosive relatives. But two disasters led the Kraffts to turn their eyes on the destructive impacts of the latter. In 1980 the eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington killed 57 people, and in 1985, the eruption of Colombia’s Nevada del Ruiz killed more than 20,000 people.(克拉夫特夫妇最初把他们的研究重点放在所谓的溢流式喷发上,这种喷发虽然仍然很危险,但通常比爆炸性喷发的致命性要小。但两场灾难让卡夫夫妇把目光转向了后者的破坏性影响。1980年,华盛顿圣海伦斯火山喷发造成57人死亡,1985年,哥伦比亚内华达德尔鲁伊斯火山喷发造成2万多人死亡。)”可知,20世纪80年代的两次火山爆发改变了克拉夫特夫妇的职业重心。故选D项。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The couple used their recordings of explosive eruptions to explain the complex risks and uncertainties of these disasters.(这对夫妇用他们对火山爆发的记录来解释这些灾难的复杂风险和不确定性。)”可知,拍摄火山爆发的目的是分享火山风险的知识。故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据第一段中的““Once you see an eruption, you can’t live without it because it’s so magnificent, so strong,” says Krafft, a fearless pioneer in volcanology, studying the explosive peaks at a time when there were few women in the field.(“一旦你看到火山喷发,你就不能没有它,因为它是如此壮观,如此强大,”克拉夫特说,她是一位无畏的火山学先驱,在研究火山喷发高峰的时候,这个领域几乎没有女性。)”和最后一段的句子“Katia’s impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has inspired many young women to study our restless planet.(远远在她去世后很久,卡蒂亚对火山学的影响还在,并激励了许多年轻女性研究我们这个不安分的星球。)”可知,卡蒂亚是一位勇敢且有很大影响力的女性。故选D项。

Nostalgia (怀旧), or the experience of lovingly recalling and longing for your past, is seemingly fitting into our culture right now, with movie and TV screens especially expanded. On its surface, it seems simple: picturing fond feelings from our past just makes us feel good. But there’s a lot more going on.
In the recent research, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences asked study participants to rate their level of pain from heat stimulation (刺激) while looking at pictures that were nostalgic-showing images of old cartoons, childhood games or candy-compared with another group of people who were given with modern pictures.
During the tasks, a machine examined the 34 participants. After obtaining brain scans, researchers found that observing pictures that activated childhood memories was linked to participants reporting weaker feelings of pain. By managing their discomfort, rather than reducing the unpleasant stimuli, people can use nostalgia to rebuild their painful experiences.
But Swets, another nostalgia expert, warned that using nostalgia for pain relief might not be a blanket solution for everyone. He highlights that nostalgia is a personal emotional experience that varies in terms of frequency and intensity. “What nostalgia is the feeling of connectedness with other people,” Swets said, noting that the clues in many studies are designed to make people think of good times with family and friends. “So, people who are a little more avoidant of intimate (亲密的) relationship with other people, or more likely to prefer distance don’t get the same results of nostalgia.” As with other positive psychology interventions, the impacts can depend on the person.
The researchers involved in the studies also have plans to use different age groups in future research to look into the impacts of more personal nostalgic clues rather than common nostalgia ones such as old music and movies.
9.In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design
A.Heat resistance. B.Anxiety level.
C.Childhood experience. D.Picture cues.
10.What does the research find about nostalgia
A.It reduces bad stimuli. B.It makes brain active.
C.It relieves one’s pain. D.It reshapes one’s past memory.
11.What does Swets say about nostalgia
A.It’s a good way to recall fine times. B.It’s a universal solution to pain relief.
C.Its effect is influenced by relationships. D.Its form is similar to other interventions.
12.What will the follow-up study focus on
A.Nostalgic experience types. B.Personal nostalgia effects.
C.The impact of nostalgia on all age groups. D.The reason for the popularity of nostalgia.
【答案】9.D 10.C 11.C 12.B
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于怀旧心理的研究,包括其研究过程、研究结果、研究评价以及后续研究方向。
9.细节理解题。根据第二段“In the recent research, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences asked study participants to rate their level of pain from heat stimulation (刺激) while looking at pictures that were nostalgic-showing images of old cartoons, childhood games or candy-compared with another group of people who were given with modern pictures.(在最近的研究中,中国科学院的研究人员要求研究参与者在观看怀旧图片(展示旧漫画、童年游戏或糖果的图片)时对热刺激的疼痛程度进行评分,而另一组人则观看现代图片)”可知,两组研究参与者在研究设计中所给的图片信息不同。故选D。
10.细节理解题。根据第三段“After obtaining brain scans, researchers found that observing pictures that activated childhood memories was linked to participants reporting weaker feelings of pain. By managing their discomfort, rather than reducing the unpleasant stimuli, people can use nostalgia to rebuild their painful experiences.(在获得脑部扫描后,研究人员发现,观察激活童年记忆的图片与参与者报告的较弱的疼痛感有关。通过控制他们的不适,而不是减少不愉快的刺激,人们可以利用怀旧来重建他们的痛苦经历)”可知,怀旧心理能减轻人们的痛苦。故选C。
11.细节理解题。根据第四段““What nostalgia is the feeling of connectedness with other people,” Swets said, noting that the clues in many studies are designed to make people think of good times with family and friends. “So, people who are a little more avoidant of intimate (亲密的) relationship with other people, or more likely to prefer distance don’t get the same results of nostalgia.”(“怀旧是一种与他人联系在一起的感觉,”Swets说,他指出,许多研究中的线索都是为了让人们想起与家人和朋友的美好时光。“所以,那些更回避与他人建立亲密关系的人,或者更倾向于保持距离的人,不会得到同样的怀旧结果。”)”可知,Swets表明怀旧是一种与他人联系的感觉,而拒绝亲密关系的人不会得到同样的怀旧心理。故怀旧心理的效果是受人际关系影响的。故选C。
12.推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers involved in the studies also have plans to use different age groups in future research to look into the impacts of more personal nostalgic clues rather than common nostalgia ones such as old music and movies.(参与研究的研究人员还计划在未来的研究中使用不同的年龄组来研究更多个人怀旧线索的影响,而不是像老音乐和电影这样的常见怀旧线索)”可知,研究人员计划在未来的研究中接触不同年龄组的受试者来研究更多个人怀旧线索的影响。由此可推知,后续研究的重点应为个人怀旧效应。故选B。

London Cycle Hire Scheme
Renting a bike is not only one of the most pleasant ways to travel around the back streets of London; it’s also one of the cheapest. Approximately 12,000 bikes are available to rent 24 hours a day, all year round. You can hire a bike from any of the 800 docking stations and return it anywhere on the network. The three-speed bikes are pretty strong. They come with a bell, a front basket and a chain guard. The front and back lights come on when you start pedaling and the seat height is easily adjustable.
How much does It cost
Unfortunately, the free under-30-minute-ride deal was canceled in September 2022.
* 1.65 per 30-minutes
How to hire a bike
There are two ways to hire a bike—at a docking station terminal or via an app (the easier way)
At a docking station
*Touch the screen and insert a credit or debit card. The machine will print a receipt with a release code.
*Enter the release code. Wait until the green light lashes and pull out your bike and go.
Via the Santander cycle hire app
Smartphone users can now use an ios or android app to hire and pay for a bike. However, using the app does not reserve a bike. You still only have 10 minutes to use the release code, so make sure you’re near the docking station when you use it.
Please note: You have to be 18 or over to pay for a bike. You also need a credit or debit card-cash is not accepted.
21.How much does it cost to rent a bike for 3 hours
A. 9.9. B. 1.65. C. 3.3 D. 6.6
22.What should you pay attention to when renting a bike via an app
A.Making an advance booking. B.Carrying enough money.
C.Keeping the time limit in mind. D.Offering your personal details.
23.What is the main topic of the text
A.A bike docking station. B.Service for renting bikes.
C.Having a trip in London. D.An app used for hiring bikes.
【答案】21.A 22.C 23.B
【解析】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了伦敦自行车租赁服务的相关信息。
21.细节理解题。由文章How much does It cost 部分中的“ 1.65 per 30-minutes (每30分钟1.65英镑)”可知,每30分钟的租金是1.65英镑。因此,3小时的租金是:6*1.65 = 9.9 (英镑)。故选A。
22.细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段中的“However, using the app does not reserve a bike. You still only have 10 minutes to use the release code, so make sure you’re near the docking station when you use it. (但是,使用该应用程序并不能预订自行车。您仍然只有10分钟的时间来使用释放码,因此请确保在使用释放码时您已靠近停靠站。)”可知,应该注意的是记住时间限制。故选C。
23.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段“Renting a bike is not only one of the most pleasant ways to travel around the back streets of London; it’s also one of the cheapest. Approximately 12,000 bikes are available to rent 24 hours a day, all year round. You can hire a bike from any of the 800 docking stations and return it anywhere on the network. The three-speed bikes are pretty strong. They come with a bell, a front basket and a chain guard. The front and back lights come on when you start pedaling and the seat height is easily adjustable. (租一辆自行车不仅是游览伦敦后街最愉快的方式之一;它也是最便宜的。大约有12000辆自行车全年24小时可供租用。你可以从800个停靠站中的任何一个租用一辆自行车,然后在网络上的任何地方还车。三速自行车很结实。他们有一个铃铛,一个前篮和一个链护。当你开始踩踏板时,前面和后面的灯就会亮起来,座位的高度很容易调节。)”可知,文章主要介绍了伦敦自行车租赁服务的相关信息,包括如何租车、租金价格以及注意事项等。因此,文章的主要话题是租赁自行车的服务,选项B“Service for renting bikes (租赁自行车的服务)”符合题意。故选B。

Let’s get the bad news out of the way first: Dried fruit is a concentrated source of calories and sugars. The keys to getting the most out of it are to keep portions (份额) small and avoid those with added sugars. And choose the fruits that offer the biggest benefits, like the three here.
1. Apricots
PORTION SIZE 5 apricots CALORIES 95
These orange orbs supply vitamin E, which helps to protect cells against the kind of damage that can trigger cancer and other chronic diseases. You also get 3 grams of fiber and 10 percent of the Daily Value.
2. Figs
PORTION SIZE 5 figs CALORIES 105
Figs have more fiber than many other dried fruits, and they supply a decent amount of calcium. They may sometimes look like they’ re sprinkled with sugar, but they’ re not. The natural fruit sugar in the figs can crystallize and leave a white coating.
3. Prunes
PORTION SIZE 4 prunes CALORIES 92
Research suggests the mix of antioxidants and other nutrients in prunes may help build up bones, helping to prevent osteoporosis. One serving of prunes has about 20 percent of the Daily Value for vitamin
K. The low intakes have been linked to painful blood vessel (血管) problems.
21.How many calories will you get if you have a portion of apricots and figs
A.116. B.118. C.124. D.200.
22.What is a benefit of prunes
A.Relieve pain. B.Improve bone strength.
C.Prevent cancer. D.Promote calcium absorption.
23.What advice is offered on dried fruit
A.Take small servings. B.Add some sugar.
C.Mix with other nutrients. D.Stay away from it.

Many unique caves in the world are found on the shores of oceans and lakes. They are always there to attract visitors across the globe.
Sea Lion Caves
Found on the Oregon Coast, it’s well-known as the only mainland breeding ground (繁殖地) of the Steller sea lion, a near-threatened species. It’s also the longest sea cave in North America, measuring1,315 feet long. Most of the cave is at sea level and is flooded with water at high tide. One section of the cave, sitting 50 feet higher, serves as a platform to view the creatures’ habitat.
Apostle Islands Sea Caves
Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands Sea Caves are sandstone caves on the shores of Lake Superior. The caves are accessible by boat in summer, but seeing the caves during winter has become a popular, if weather-dependent, alternative. When Lake Superior freezes, the ice is sometimes thick enough to allow hikers to walk across the lake and explore the caves.
Great Blue Hole
Located off the coast of Belize, it’s a vertical cave that’s entirely underwater. It measures 984 feet in diameter and 410 feet deep. With its beautiful, clear water and a variety of wild marine life residing in its depths, the Great Blue Hole is most famous as a scuba-diving destination. Although the Great Blue Hole is one of the most spectacular, it’s not the world’s only blue hole.
Painted Cave
The Painted Cave, located on California’s Santa Cruz Island, is an expansive sea cave known for the colorful rocks, lichen and algae found on its walls.

Kenya is a microcosm of Africa. So, in case Kenya doesn’t already feature on your list of dream destinations, Jane Barsby, a travel writer, tells you why it should.
The Masai Mara
Home to the“greatest wildlife show on earth” - the annual migration of one-and-a-half million wildebeest and their accompanying animals - the Masai Mara remains Kenya’s most famous reserve thanks to the brilliance of its game viewing.
Walking is not allowed here, so if you’d like to hike across the Greater Mara, visit one of the many private conservancies that border the reserve.
The Karen District
Perhaps the greatest single influence on the country’s tourism was the Danish writer Karen Blixen, whose book Out of Africa begins with the words, “I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills”, and you can visit his house in the Karen district, where it has been turned into a museum.
While in Karen, why not stroke a giraffe at the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife Giraffe Centre or cuddle a baby elephant at the Wildlife Trust’s Elephant Shelter
Gedi
On the silver-blue Swahili coastline are the remains of the thirteenth-century town of Gedi, which was allegedly deserted by its occupants at the approach of cannibals (食人族). Now it is a picturesque ruin with wretched streets, market places, palaces and mosques, all buried in the dense coastal forest.
Near the entrance to Gedi is Kipepeo, a butterfly farm where you can witness the entire cycle of a butterfly’s life.
Western Kenya
For an entirely different take on Kenya, visit western Kenya - famous for its green quilt of tea bushes which once you’ve sipped, you’ ll never regard this delicious drink in quite the same light again.
For the ultimate experience spend a night or two at the Kericho Tea Hotel.
1.Which activity is available in the Karen district
A.Visiting a science museum.
B.Interacting with wild animals.
C.Watching butterflies’ life cycle.
D.Exploring the local cuisine.
2.Where can you enjoy ocean views
A.Gedi. B.The Karen District.
C.Western Kenya. D.The Masai Mara.
3.Where is the passage probably taken from
A.A science journal. B.A literary review.

In Mexico City’s Polanco neighborhood, Catia Lattouf has turned her apartment into a clinic for sick, injured, or baby hummingbirds. Over the past decade, though lacking formal training, she has nursed hundreds of these tiny birds back to health.
Lattouf, a 73-year-old French literature enthusiast, has become a go-to resource for bird lovers across Mexico and Latin America. The shelter converted from apartment to clinic supports more formal institutions like the Iztacala campus of Mexico’s National Autonomous University, which sometimes refers cases to her due to limited resources.
Lattouf began caring for hummingbirds a year after surviving colon cancer in 2011. It started with one hummingbird that had an eye injury. A veterinarian (兽医) friend encouraged her to try to help it. She named it Gucci after the brand of the glasses case she kept it in. The bird became her inseparable companion and helped pull her out of the sadness and loneliness she experienced after her husband’s death followed by her own struggle with cancer. “It wrote me a new life,” she said.
Lattouf never turns away a bird. Together with her partner Cecilia Santos, they care for the birds in long days that stretch from 5 A.m. into the night. Most of the hummingbirds are in the bedroom where Lattouf sleeps until they are strong enough to fly and feed themselves. Then she moves them to a neighboring room to prepare them for release in a wooded area on the city’s south side.
Many of them do manage to return to the wild, but the ones who die under Lattouf’s care are buried near her building between small plants. Despite threats to hummingbirds from constant construction projects that replace flower gardens with concrete, Lattouf remains optimistic and hopes other bird lovers will plant more flowers to feed these great pollinators (传粉者).
4.What does the underlined word “converted” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Reduced. B.Transformed. C.Protected. D.Simplified.
5.Why did Lattouf start caring for hummingbirds
A.She wanted to honor her late husband. B.Raising birds was her childhood dream.
C.She needed a hobby after surviving cancer. D.A friend asked her to help with an injured bird.
6.What is one of the threats to hummingbirds according to the last paragraph
A.Increased use of chemicals in gardens.
B.Climate change leading to loss of habitat.
C.Building projects replacing flower gardens.
D.Pollution of water sources in their natural environment.
7.What can be inferred about Catia Lattouf based on the text
A.She is unfriendly and only works with birds.
B.She is wealthy as she keeps birds in her bedroom.
C.She is positive and has found a new purpose in life.
D.She is qualified as she has received formal training in bird care.

Artificial intelligence can help accurately map and track penguin colonies (聚居地) in Antarctica by analysing tourist photos. “Right now, everyone has a camera in their pocket, and so the amount of data being collected around the world is incredible,” says Heather Lynch at Stony Brook University in New York.
Haoyu Wu at Stony Brook University and his colleagues, including Lynch, used an AI tool to highlight Adélie penguins in photographs taken by tourists or scientists on the ground. With guidance from a human expert, the AI tool was able to automatically identify and outline entire colonies in photos. This semi-automated method is much faster than doing everything manually (手动地) because the AI tool takes just 5 to 10 seconds per image, compared with a person taking 1 to 2 minutes. The team also created a 3D digital model of the Antarctic landscape using satellite imagery and data. By identifying landscape details in the tourist pictures, the researchers could place the photographer, then the penguin colony, accurately within the 3D model.
This transformation of ground photos into a bird’s-eye view allows researchers to track how penguin colonies change in location and population size over time, which could prove especially helpful in remote regions of the world. Such tracking is important because Adélie penguins are considered a sentinel species, meaning shifts in their population are an indicator of climate change. The AI-assisted technique can also employ historical imagery to track phenomena such as glacier changes that “occur very slowly and may only be evident by looking across decades of time”, says Lynch.
But researchers remain divided over the impacts of Antarctic tourism — the two large Adélie penguin groups evaluated by the researchers are often visited by tour ships. “Some are worried that, by encouraging tourists to do citizen science, we are justifying their trips, which will be used by the cruise (游轮) companies to sell more tickets,” says Fretwell.
12.Where did the research data come from
A.Expert data base. B.Maps marked by AI.
C.3D digital model. D.Images shot by tourists.
13.What role did AI play in highlighting Adélie penguins
A.It served as an assistant. B.It acted as a predictor.
C.It replaced the human experts. D.It conducted the entire research.
14.Why did the researchers track the changes of Adélie penguin colonies
A.To gather data on tourism. B.To monitor penguin behaviors.
C.To examine the effects of AI. D.To further study the climate change.
15.Which of the following best describes researchers’ attitudes towards Antarctic tourism
A.Unclear. B.Controversial. C.Indifferent. D.Supportive.

Returning to the gym for the first time after a pause can be an awkward experience, your shoulders quaking and muscles trembling. However, discontinuous workout may not ultimately end up with weakened muscles, thanks to a phenomenon known as muscle memory. You might associate the term with the idea that you can jump back on a bike after years of not riding one, or undertake other previously-learned activities that involve motor skills and almost instinctively (本能的) remember how.
This brain-muscle connection is undoubtedly part of the story, but many exercise scientists have realized muscle memory is more than neuromuscular (神经肌肉的) conditioning. Changes deep inside our thread-like muscle cells may also explain why previously trained muscles grow back more quickly after taking up exercise again.
Eeli Halonen, a competitive bodybuilder and doctoral student in exercise physiology at the University of Jyvaskyla in Finland, recalls the muscle mass he lost after a long break from training. What surprised him was the speed at which he regained his strength. To discover more about muscle recovery, Halonen conducted a controlled trial with his team. Half of over 40 untrained individuals were required to follow a 20-week workout program continuously for 20 weeks, while the other half split their training into two 10-week sessions with a 10-week break in between. During their break, participants experienced “significant” decreases in muscle size and, to a lesser extent, strength. However, it took only five weeks of retraining for them to return to their previous levels.
“It’s a positive finding for those who need to take time off for whatever reason; you can rest assured that your muscles will readapt quite readily. People tend to overestimate how much exercise is needed to maintain muscle mass. The good news is that ‘A little bit of exercise can go a pretty long way in maintaining function and size’,” says Halonen.
8.Which statement about “muscle memory” is correct
A.It prevents muscles growth.
B.It is the core of a new concept.
C.Its another function has been found.
D.Its connection with motor skills proves a mistake.
9.What motivated Halonen to carry out the controlled trail
A.His favorite sport. B.His own experience.
C.His desire to be stronger. D.His academic requirement.
10.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.It is important to take a rest to keep fit.
B.A little of exercise can hardly be beneficial.
C.Don’t worry too much about interrupted workout.
D.The longer time you rest, the more quickly muscle recovers.
11.Which is the best title of the passage
A.Less is more B.Restart, regain
C.Pausing is reducing D.Once start, never stop

Wrapped in a shiny metal suit, Katia Krafft’s small frame appeared insignificant next to the red curtain of boiling rock that burst from the ground before her. The dramatic moment was captured in a photo taken atop Iceland’s Krafla volcano in 1984. “Once you see an eruption, you can’t live without it because it’s so magnificent, so strong,” says Krafft, a fearless pioneer in volcanology, studying the explosive peaks at a time when there were few women in the field.
The moment a volcano exploded, she and her husband, Maurice Krafft, also a volcancoogist, dropped everything to analyze and capture the beauty and mystery of each event. These stunning pictures allowed researchers to dissect (剖析) the complex details of each eruption like never before.
The Kraffts initially focused their work on so-called effusive (溢流式的) eruptions, which, though still dangerous, are usually less deadly than their explosive relatives. But two disasters led the Kraffts to turn their eyes on the destructive impacts of the latter. In 1980 the eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington killed 57 people, and in 1985, the eruption of Colombia’s Nevado del Ruiz killed more than 20,000 people.
The couple used their recordings of explosive eruptions to explain the complex risks and uncertainties of these disasters. Their videos are credited as one of the main reasons that officials in the Philippines took the warning signs of Mount Pinatubo’s eruption in 1991 seriously. Yet the Kraffts didn’t live to see it. They died less than two weeks earlier in Japan during a terrible eruption.
Katia’s impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has inspired many young women to study our restless planet. At age 16, Marie-Claude Williamson, now a research scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada, met Katia during an evening lecture where the Kraffts were narrating one of their films. “It was largely the vision of the extraordinary woman I briefly encountered when I was 16 that kept me going.” she says.
1.What did the Kraffts do when a volcano erupted
A.They sent once warnings. B.They shot the process.
C.They wrote down the details. D.They analyzed the causes.
2.What can be learned about the two eruptions in the 1980s
A.They were effusive eruptions.
B.They took place in the US.
C.They were recorded by the Kraffts.
D.They changed the Kraffts’ career focus.
3.What’s the purpose of filming explosive eruptions
A.To show the beauty of volcanoes.
B.To predict future volcanic activities.
C.To share knowledge of volcanic risks.
D.To guide government policy-making.
4.Which of the following words can best describe Katia
A.Enthusiastic and modest. B.Humorous and professional.
C.Ambitious and generous. D.Courageous and influential.

Nostalgia (怀旧), or the experience of lovingly recalling and longing for your past, is seemingly fitting into our culture right now, with movie and TV screens especially expanded. On its surface, it seems simple: picturing fond feelings from our past just makes us feel good. But there’s a lot more going on.
In the recent research, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences asked study participants to rate their level of pain from heat stimulation (刺激) while looking at pictures that were nostalgic-showing images of old cartoons, childhood games or candy-compared with another group of people who were given with modern pictures.
During the tasks, a machine examined the 34 participants. After obtaining brain scans, researchers found that observing pictures that activated childhood memories was linked to participants reporting weaker feelings of pain. By managing their discomfort, rather than reducing the unpleasant stimuli, people can use nostalgia to rebuild their painful experiences.
But Swets, another nostalgia expert, warned that using nostalgia for pain relief might not be a blanket solution for everyone. He highlights that nostalgia is a personal emotional experience that varies in terms of frequency and intensity. “What nostalgia is the feeling of connectedness with other people,” Swets said, noting that the clues in many studies are designed to make people think of good times with family and friends. “So, people who are a little more avoidant of intimate (亲密的) relationship with other people, or more likely to prefer distance don’t get the same results of nostalgia.” As with other positive psychology interventions, the impacts can depend on the person.
The researchers involved in the studies also have plans to use different age groups in future research to look into the impacts of more personal nostalgic clues rather than common nostalgia ones such as old music and movies.
9.In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design
A.Heat resistance. B.Anxiety level.
C.Childhood experience. D.Picture cues.

London Cycle Hire Scheme
Renting a bike is not only one of the most pleasant ways to travel around the back streets of London; it’s also one of the cheapest. Approximately 12,000 bikes are available to rent 24 hours a day, all year round. You can hire a bike from any of the 800 docking stations and return it anywhere on the network. The three-speed bikes are pretty strong. They come with a bell, a front basket and a chain guard. The front and back lights come on when you start pedaling and the seat height is easily adjustable.
How much does It cost
Unfortunately, the free under-30-minute-ride deal was canceled in September 2022.
* 1.65 per 30-minutes
How to hire a bike
There are two ways to hire a bike—at a docking station terminal or via an app (the easier way)
At a docking station
*Touch the screen and insert a credit or debit card. The machine will print a receipt with a release code.
*Enter the release code. Wait until the green light lashes and pull out your bike and go.
Via the Santander cycle hire app

Let’s get the bad news out of the way first: Dried fruit is a concentrated source of calories and sugars. The keys to getting the most out of it are to keep portions (份额) small and avoid those with added sugars. And choose the fruits that offer the biggest benefits, like the three here.
1. Apricots
PORTION SIZE 5 apricots CALORIES 95
These orange orbs supply vitamin E, which helps to protect cells against the kind of damage that can trigger cancer and other chronic diseases. You also get 3 grams of fiber and 10 percent of the Daily Value.
2. Figs
PORTION SIZE 5 figs CALORIES 105
Figs have more fiber than many other dried fruits, and they supply a decent amount of calcium. They may sometimes look like they’ re sprinkled with sugar, but they’ re not. The natural fruit sugar in the figs can crystallize and leave a white coating.
3. Prunes
PORTION SIZE 4 prunes CALORIES 92
Research suggests the mix of antioxidants and other nutrients in prunes may help build up bones, helping to prevent osteoporosis. One serving of prunes has about 20 percent of the Daily Value for vitamin
K. The low intakes have been linked to painful blood vessel (血管) problems.

Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.
Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.
“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”
It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit
Trost thinks so.
“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.
And you’ll never be without something to read.
24. Why did BART start the kiosk program
A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use.
C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs.
25. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk
A. By popularity. B. By length.
C. By theme. D. By language.
26. What has Trost been doing recently
A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers.
C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists.
27. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future
A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline.
C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase.

The Saint Lukas train doesn’t accept passengers—it accepts only the sick. The Saint Lukas is one of five government-sponsored medical trains that travel to remote towns in central and eastern Russia. Each stop lasts an average of two days, and during that time the doctors and nurses on board provide rural(乡村)populations with basic medical care, X-ray scans and prescriptions.
“People started queuing to make an appointment early in the morning,” says Emile Ducke, a German photographer who traveled with the staff of the Saint Lukas for a two-week trip in November through the vast regions(区域)of Krasnoyarsk and Khakassia.
Russia’s public health care service has been in serious need of modernization. The government has struggled to come up with measures to address the problem, particularly in the poorer, rural areas east of the Volga River, including arranging doctor’s appointments by video chat and expanding financial aid programs to motivate doctors to practice medicine in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk.
The annual arrival of the Saint Lukas is another attempt to improve the situation. For 10 months every year, the train stops at about eight stations over two weeks, before returning to the regional capital to refuel and restock(补给). Then it starts all over again the next month. Most stations wait about a year between visits.
Doctors see up to 150 patients every day. The train’s equipment allows for basic checkups. “I was very impressed by the doctors and their assistants working and living in such little space but still staying focused and very concerned,” says Ducke. “They were the best chance for many rural people to get the treatment they want. ”
28. How is the Saint Lukas different from other trains
A. It runs across countries. B. It reserves seats for the seniors.
C. It functions as a hospital. D. It travels along a river.
29. What can we infer from paragraph 3 about Krasnoyarsk
A. It is heavily populated. B. It offers training for doctors.
C. It is a modern city. D. It needs medical aid.
30. How long can the Saint Lukas work with one supply
A. About a year. B. About ten months.
C. About two months. D. About two weeks.
31. What is Ducke’s attitude toward the Saint Lukas’ services
A. Appreciative. B. Doubtful
C. Ambiguous. D. Cautious.

Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden programme at four low-income schools. The programme aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighbourhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Programme evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes.“We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the programme’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”

As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you’re lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.
The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding (编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant’s experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach” and “listening to waves”.
Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a“nature language” began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
“We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study.

( )33.Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories

D.To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries.

When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌) Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”

I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy (哲学).
That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you — and then try to explain them.
Eric weiner’s The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy.
Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher’s work in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about undestanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.
He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding (解读) their messages and adding his own interpretation.
The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It’s worth your time, even if time is something we don’t have a lot of.

Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche-we revere (敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and their answer is often the same: a grizzly bear.
“Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range,” says bear biologist Chris Servheen. As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven’t been seen in a century or more, they’re increasingly being sighted by humans.
The western half of the U.S. was full of grizzlies when Europeans came, with a rough number of 50,000 or more living alongside Native Americans. By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S. Their recovery has been so successful that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to delist grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed.
Obviously, if precautions (预防) aren’t taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away. “Our hope is to have a clean, attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits,“ says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.
32. How do Americans look at grizzlies
A. They cause mixed feelings in people.
B. They should be kept in national parks.
C. They are of high scientific value.
D. They are a symbol of American culture.
33. What has helped the increase of the grizzly population
A. The European settlers’ behavior.
B. The expansion of bears’ range.
C. The protection by law since 1975.
D. The support of Native Americans.
34. What has stopped the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service from delisting grizzlies
A. The opposition of conservation groups.
B. The successful comeback of grizzlies.
C. The voice of the biologists.
D. The local farmers’ advocates.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Food should be provided for grizzlies.
B. People can live in harmony with grizzlies.
C. A special path should be built for grizzlies.
D. Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.

We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.
There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
5.Why did the kid poke the storybook
A.He took it for a tablet computer. B.He disliked the colorful pictures.
C.He was angry with his grandpa. D.He wanted to read it by himself.

A.Socially ambitious. B.Physically attractive.
C.Financially independent. D.Digitally competent.
7.What can we learn about the author as a journalist
