British Science Week is entering its third decade in 2025, taking place on 7 —— 16 March, and the theme to mark the start of this new era is “Change and adapt”!
Change and adaptation are all around us
Changing and adapting play a big part in science. You can find examples in every area of STEM(science, technology, engineering and maths). Cities, towns and other areas where people live change and adapt. Plants and animals change and adapt to their surroundings to survive.
Our behaviors change too —— we need to change how we consume the world's resources to make up for the worst effects of the climate crisis, and adapt our lifestyles to reduce our impact through recycling or reducing waste. But change and adaptation don't just happen here on Earth, and even the stars and other heavenly bodies change as they gain and lose mass. Perhaps there is life on other planets that adapts as the environment changes.
When exploring this theme, we can also consider how attitudes to STEM and the people who do it have changed and adapted. Concepts of scientists are changing and we need to keep adapting our thinking until we can no longer picture a stereotypical scientist—— anyone can be a scientist.
Get involved
“Change and adapt” offers a huge variety of topics to explore as part of your British Science Week2025 activities. Why not contribute your thoughts to our discussion using the hashtag (话题标签)#BSW25

This year, my two oldest sons asked me to sign them up for piano lessons. For certain reasons, I considered it a good time for me to take up the piano again, after 30 years.
As a child, I learned the piano and the cello, playing in two orchestras and singing in the school choir. No one forced me to do that, but it wasn't a free choice either. When you are the approval-addicted daughter of an over-invested mother, no one needs to apply force. My mom and I were well-matched partners of unspoken expectation and approval-seeking. I did her forcing for her.
For my mother, my musical industriousness wasn't so much about achievement as identity. She was American by birth, and after marrying my university professor father and moving to London, she spent a decade working to be accepted into the impatient, worrisome world of British intellectual society. Music made me into the person my mother needed me to be, so that she could get the role she needed. In this environment, a diligent daughter lugging a giant cello was a ticket to belonging.
And for my part, although I seldom believed that my mother's love was conditional, I did suspect that there was a bonus in there.
Somehow, the piano lessons turn me into both my childhood self, seeking my mother's approval, and my mother herself, putting the same high expectations on my own children. My mother was lucky since I was naturally suited to the role she assigned me. My sons are not. They are restless, not into lengthy sessions of sitting still.
Unconditional love may be at the heart of parenthood, but sometimes it can feel impossible to accommodate unconditional love to the worldly practices of day-to-day parenting. The whole job seems set up for conditionality: It would be dishonest to pretend we' re indifferent to our children's echoing our values.
I'm disappointed when my sons won't play their role in the script I have written for them, but deep down, I'm also a little thrilled. A secret part of me is delighted by their raging demands for full personhood.
24. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean
A. The author learned musical instruments out of pure love.
B. The author forced her mum to enroll her in piano lessons.
C. The author's mum threw her into music for her own sake.
D. The author offered to learn musical instruments for her mom's approval.
25. What does the author's mother regard the author's musical industriousness as
A. A result of her selfless cultivation.
B. A proof of her ability to be a qualified mother.
C. A way to fit into the British intellectual society.

C. Can We Really Love Our Children Unconditionally
D. Can Playing Instruments Help Us Fit into Intellectual Society
C
From an airplane, cars crawling down the highway look like ants. But actual ants—— unlike cars——can avoid the stop-and-go traffic. On a driveway with 15 vehicles per mile, one driver tapping their brakes can cause a persistent traffic jam. Researchers are now studying these insects’ cooperative strategies to learn how to program self-driving cars that don't jam up.
Previous research had shown that ants can maintain their flow even at high densities. So what's their secret In a recent study published in Transportation Research, researchers recorded ants on trails and used traffic-engineering models to analyze their movement. They found that the ants don't jam because they travel in groups of 3 to 20 that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another and they don't speed up to pass others.
Human drivers at rush hour hardly tend to follow such rules. “We’ re maximizing the interests of individuals. That is why, at a given point, you start to have a traffic jam,” says study co-author Nicola Pugno. In his vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would avoid traffic jams by prioritizing constant speeds and headways or by not passing others on the road.
Like ants on a trail, which use scent to control behavior while interacting with one another, the autonomous vehicle network would help cars keep constant speeds while collecting and sharing information. “There is no leader,” but this organization emerges anyway, says Noa Pinter-Wollman. And in both ant and vehicle traffic, this type of distributed system can be very strong and changeable.
Still, ants can do a lot of things that cars can't, the researcher points out. Ants can make trails as wide as they like, unlike drivers stuck on highways. Plus, unlike cars, ants don't crash; they can literally walk over one another. Today's drivers can learn at least one thing from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam: by leaving room between their car and the one ahead of them, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in dense traffic conditions that would otherwise give rise to a traffic jam with no obvious cause.
28. Which does not contribute to ants' stable traffic at high densities
A. Steady speed. B. Sufficient space. C. Patient queuing. D. Constant movement.
29. Which of the following is in line with Nicola Pugno's opinion
A. Human drivers usually break the traffic rules at rush hour.
B. Prioritizing interests can definitely lead to inefficient traffic flow.
C. Human drivers will drive more slowly than autonomous vehicles.
D. Autonomous vehicles may be programmed to improve traffic situation.
30. What can we learn about autonomous vehicle network
A. It can keep vehicle speed under control.
B. It can form a solid and flexible traffic system.
C. It can provide drivers with changeable routes.
D. It can use scent to communicate with vehicles.
31. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. What ants will do when they face traffic jams.
B. What we can benefit from autonomous vehicles.
C. How ants may save you from future traffic jams.
D. Why we should keep good distances while driving.
D
“Adults and even babies can easily make reliable inferences about what drives other people’ s actions,” said Dr. Moira Dillon, a researcher at New York University. “Current AI finds these inferences challenging to make.”
The novel idea of putting babies and AI head-to-head on the same tasks is allowing researchers to better describe babies’ natural knowledge about other people and suggest ways of integrating that knowledge into AI.
“If AI aims to build flexible, commonsense thinkers like human adults, then machines should draw upon the same core abilities babies possess in detecting goals and preferences,” Dr. Dillon said.
To develop a foundational understanding of the differences between humans’ and AI’ s abilities; Dr. Dillon's team conducted a series of experiments with 11-month-old babies and compared their responses to those produced by state-of-the-art learning-driven AI models. Specifically, babies on Zoom watched a series of videos of simple animated shapes moving around the screen —— similar to a video game. The shapes’ actions simulated human behavior and decision-making through the retrieval(检索) of objects on the screen and other movements. Similarly, the scientists built and trained learning-driven AI models and tested the models' responses to the exact same videos.
Their results showed that babies recognized human-like motivations even in the simplified actions of animated shapes. Babies predicted that these actions were driven by hidden but consistent goals——for example, the on-screen retrieval of the same object no matter what location it was in and the movement of that shape efficiently even when the surrounding environment changed.
Babies demonstrated such predictions by looking longer at events that went against their predictions——a common and decades-old measurement for evaluating the nature of babies' knowledge. The AI models showed no such evidence of understanding the motivations underlying such actions, revealing that they are missing key foundational principles of commonsense psychology that babies possess.
“A human baby's foundational knowledge is limited, abstract, and reflects our evolutionary inheritance(进化遗传), yet it can accommodate any context or culture in which that baby might live and learn,” Dr. Dillon said.
32. What do the researchers expect of this study
A. It will contribute to building smarter AI.
B. It will discover more about baby language.
C. It will improve computer science education.
D. It will reveal human behavior's underlying motivations.
33. How did the researchers compare babies and AI in their study
A. By judging their video gaming skills.
B. By measuring their ability to recognize patterns.
C. By assessing their responses to the same stimuli.
D. By testing their understanding of real human actions.
34. What did the babies do when they saw unexpected shape actions
A. They just ignored them. B. They reacted to them later.
C. They spent more time observing them. D. They compared them with earlier predictions.
35. What does the last paragraph imply about human intelligence
A. It varies culturally. B. It is highly adaptable.
C. It is determined at birth. D. It is at peak in early adulthood.
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Imagine walking through someone's house. The rooms are barren. There are no knickknacks(小摆设) lying around—— just the essentials. You open the closet to find you can count the number of clothing items inside on one hand. The space seems more like a jail cell than a home. 36
It turns out that the house's owner is not poor. Instead, he is an extreme minimalist who chooses to limit his number of belongings. 37 Minimalists follow this philosophy to varying degrees, but they generally claim that cutting down on excess stuff leads to a more fulfilling life. With fewer possessions, they don't have to spend much time cleaning, thinking about what they are missing, or trying to keep up with the latest trends. 38 They can then dive into hobbies that ignite their passion like exercising, traveling, and being with loved ones.
Extreme minimalism isn't for everyone, but a mild form of it has grown in popularity recently, thanks to Marie Kondo’ s best-selling book The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up. Her philosophy of keeping only items that “spark joy” has resonated with millions, encouraging people to declutter their homes and minds. This shift toward intentional living reflects a broader desire to simplify daily life, moving away from excess and toward greater focus on what truly matters. 39 They discover that fewer possessions often mean less stress and more clarity.
Kondo stresses that minimalism is not merely about throwing things away or holding onto what you want to keep. 40 Even if you are not ready to become a minimalist, you may want to consider reducing the number of things you own, for it seems that letting go of things can truly make room for happiness.
A. Instead, it's about striking a balance between personal joy and possessions.
B. This frees up their time for things that they find meaningful.
C. No warmth, no life traces— just a cold, empty structure, not a home.
D. So you wonder whether the resident is too poor to buy more things to fill the house.
E. Even those who don't embrace full minimalism find value in scaling down.
F. Such a balance helps people avoid the trap of mindless consumption.
G. Minimalism goes against consumerism by dramatically scaling down possessions.

I knew exercise is good for health— who doesn’t But 41 were easier. Running bored me, biking sounded risky, and the gym seemed too much to handle. Each offered me a reason to 42 it, so I did.
When I worked in Kenya, I came to realize that people there don't“ 43 ” the way I had thought. Instead, they move —— with a clear 44 in mind. They move to reach a destination. They move to hunt and to tend crops. There is no such thing as a 45 , but they are working out 24-7.Maybe I could take 46 from these people and add meaning to my exercising. So, I launched my 47 program:“chicken-cising,” with 15 baby chicks and a book on 48 backyard chickens.
It turned out that caring for the flightless birds was quite 49 —— a full-body workout involving bending, squatting (深蹲), weightlifting and running around. One weekend, my e-watch 50 as many as 145 squats and 10,506 steps!
I ended up in better shape than expected and found extra 51 that no gym workout can provide. First, quitting is not a(n) 52 : You can't put on your “chicken-cise” clothes, sit for a while, and then simply decide not to 53 , especially when your feathered friends depend on you to survive. Second, you have unbeatable workout partners, who 54 respond to your appearance with encouragement. Bah-Baaaahk! What's more Fresh-from-the-hen eggs!
Turning every breakfast into a celebration of my new lifestyle with the best eggs, “chicken-cising” taught me that movement doesn't need a gym—— it needs 55 .

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。
My brother and I left our hometown in the Midwest years ago, each pursuing careers and building lives an hour's drive from our parents' house. While we treasured weekly calls and weekend visits, the distance seemed like a silent worry—— especially as our dad's health declined with cancer and our mom managed her heart disease alone. Little did we know that fate had placed guardian angels next door. My parents have lived in the Midwest for over 30 years. For years, it was just them, us kids coming and going, and the quiet rhythm of small-town life. But when the Smiths moved in next door five years ago, that rhythm gained a new, beautiful beat.
Tom Smith, a construction worker, and his wife Ellen, a tired nurse, would come with their kids—— Lily, then 15, and Jake, 20—— and a dog named Bear. At first, the interactions were simple: waves across the fence, shared stories over morning coffee and Lily asking to pet the dog. But as my dad's health declined and my mom's disease demanded more attention, those small exchanges grew into something strong.
Tom took to checking on my dad daily, often chatting with him. “Your dad is a storyteller,” he’ d say. “Best part of my day listening to his tales.” Ellen, noticing my mom’ s struggle to manage her blood sugar, started dropping off notes on the fridge with words: “Roast chicken-no sugar, extra love!” And the kids became regulars too, helping to water the garden for my parents.
Everything seemed peaceful. Then one spring night, a storm hit suddenly. Thunder was loud and rain beat hard against the windows. My parents' old maple tree, weak from years of storms, struggled in the wind and fell onto the driveway, blocking it completely. When my parents phoned me about their situation, I was trapped on highways filled with fallen branches. Unfortunately, my brother was away on a business trip in another city. We worried deeply about our dad and our mom, being alone in the storm.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At that instant, some familiar figures came into my parent’ s view.
After the storm, my brother and I knocked on the Smiths’ door.

写作一 参考范文
Good morning, my fellow students. As we stand at the threshold of senior year, a question lingers in my mind: what drives us through these challenging senior three days For me, it’s the dream of becoming an environmental engineer, one who designs sustainable solutions for cities drowning in pollution. Never will I forget the day when I witnessed a river, once clear, turned filthy by industrial waste—a scene that planted this dream in my heart.
To make it come true, I’ve mapped out concrete steps. First, mastering core subjects like chemistry and geography is a must, with every textbook note sorted by topic to deepen understanding. What’s more, I spend weekends reading environmental journals and recording insights from scientific articles, which not only broadens my horizons but also keeps me updated on cutting-edge technologies.
Dreams without action are just fantasies. Let’s charge forward, for youth never waits. Many thanks for your attention!
写作二 参考范文
Paragraph 1:
At that instant, some familiar figures came into my parent’s view. Through the rain-lashed window, Tom and Jake emerged with flashlights, Bear barking at their heels. Tom shouted, "Stay inside!" as he grabbed his chainsaw from the garage. Ellen and Lily rushed through our door, blankets in hand. "We saw the tree go down," Ellen said, already checking Mom’s pulse. Lightning flashed as Tom’s chainsaw roared to life, teeth biting into the trunk. Jake heaved branches aside, muscles straining. Within minutes, they carved a narrow path through the wreckage – wet, exhausted, but triumphant.
Paragraph 2:
After the storm, my brother and I knocked on the Smiths’ door. Tom answered, wiping grease from his hands. Inside, Ellen handed us lemonade while Lily showed photos on her phone: Jake helping Dad weed last summer; Mom laughing as Bear licked her hand; Tom fixing their porch light. "We owe you everything," I choked out. Tom clasped my shoulder. "You folks welcomed us when we were strangers." Ellen added softly, "This is what neighbors do." The next morning, we found a young maple sapling where the old tree fell – Tom and Jake planting hope back into the earth. True angels, we realized, wear work boots and carry chainsaws.

解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“They found that the ants don’t jam because they travel in groups of 3 to 20 that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another and they don’t speed up to pass others.(他们发现蚂蚁不会堵塞，因为它们以3到20只为一组，以几乎恒定的速度移动，同时彼此之间保持适当的距离，而且它们不会加速超过其他蚂蚁)”可知，蚂蚁在高密度下交通稳定的原因是它们保持了稳定的速度和足够的空间，能够耐心地排队并不会加速超过其他蚂蚁，而非持续不断的移动。故选D项。
29. 答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“In his vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would avoid traffic jams by prioritizing constant speeds and headways or by not passing others on the road.(在他对未来的设想中，自动驾驶汽车将通过优先考虑恒定速度和车距，或者不在路上超车来避免交通堵塞)”可知，Nicola Pugno认为自动驾驶汽车可以通过编程来改善交通状况，即自动驾驶汽车可能被编程以改善交通状况。故选D项。
30. 答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“Like ants on a trail, which use scent (气味) to control behavior while interacting with one another, the autonomous vehicle network would help cars keep constant speeds while collecting and sharing information. “There is no leader,” but this organization emerges anyway, says Noa Pinter-Wollman, a behavioral scientist at the University of California. And in both ant and vehicle traffic, this type of distributed system can be very strong and changeable.(就像小路上的蚂蚁，它们在相互交流时使用气味来控制行为，自动驾驶汽车网络将帮助汽车保持恒定速度，同时收集和共享信息。加州大学的行为科学家Noa Pinter-Wollman说：“没有领导者，”但这种组织无论如何都会出现。在蚂蚁和车辆交通中，这种分布式系统都非常强大且可变)”可知，自动驾驶汽车网络将帮助汽车保持恒定速度，同时收集和共享信息，这种分布式系统都非常强大且可变，可推理出自动驾驶汽车网络可以形成一个坚固而灵活的交通系统。故选B项。
31. 答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“From an airplane, cars crawling down the highway look like ants. But actual ants — unlike cars — can avoid the stop-and-go traffic. On a driveway with 15 vehicles per mile, one driver tapping their brakes can cause a persistent traffic jam. Researchers are now studying these insects’ cooperative strategies to learn how to program self-driving cars that don’t jam up (从飞机上看，在高速公路上爬行的汽车看起来像蚂蚁。但实际的蚂蚁——与汽车不同——可以避免走走停停的交通。在一条每英里有15辆车的车道上，一个司机踩刹车就能造成持续的交通堵塞。研究人员正在研究这些昆虫的合作策略，以学习如何编程自动驾驶汽车，使其不会堵塞)”和最后一段“Today’s drivers can learn at least one thing from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam: by leaving room between their car and the one ahead of them, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in dense traffic conditions that would otherwise give rise to a traffic jam with no obvious cause(如今的司机至少可以从蚂蚁身上学到一样东西来避免造成交通堵塞：通过在自己车和前车之间留出空间，司机可以在密集的交通状况下吸收一波刹车潮，否则这股刹车潮会在没有明显原因的情况下引发交通堵塞)”可知，文章围绕蚂蚁的交通策略展开，说明其对解决人类交通拥堵的启发，尤其是对自动驾驶汽车的借鉴意义，因此，蚂蚁如何帮你摆脱未来交通拥堵可以概括本文的主题。故选C项。
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“The novel idea of putting babies and AI head-to-head on the same tasks is allowing researchers to better describe babies’ natural knowledge about other people and suggest ways of integrating that knowledge into AI.(将婴儿与人工智能置于相同任务中直接对比的新想法，使研究人员能够更好地描述婴儿关于他人的自然知识，并提出将这些知识整合到人工智能中的方法。)”可知，研究人员期待这项研究将有助于建立更智能的人工智能。故选A项。
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中“Specifically, babies on Zoom watched a series of videos of simple animated shapes moving around the screen — similar to a video game. The shapes’ actions simulated human behavior and decision-making through the retrieval (检索) of objects on the screen and other movements. Similarly, the scientists built and trained learning-driven AI models and tested the models’ responses to the exact same videos.(具体来说，婴儿通过Zoom观看了一系列简单动画形状在屏幕上移动的视频（类似电子游戏）。这些形状的动作通过检索屏幕上的物体及其他移动来模拟人类的行为和决策。同样，科学家构建并训练了学习驱动型人工智能模型，并测试了这些模型对完全相同视频的反应。)”可知，研究人员在研究中通过测量他们对相同刺激的反应来比较婴儿和人工智能。故选C项。
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第六段中“Babies demonstrated such predictions by looking longer at events that went against their predictions — a common and decades-old measurement for evaluating the nature of babies’ knowledge. (婴儿通过对违背其预测的事件注视更长时间来展示此类预测——这是一种用于评估婴儿知识本质的、已有数十年历史的常见测量方法。)”可知，当婴儿看到意想不到的形状动作时，他们会花更多的时间去观察他们。故选C项。
35. 答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A human baby’s foundational knowledge is limited, abstract, and reflects our evolutionary inheritance (进化遗传), yet it can accommodate any context or culture in which that baby might live and learn,” Dr. Dillon said.(Dillon博士表示：“人类婴儿的基础知识有限且抽象，反映了我们的进化遗传，但它能够适应婴儿可能生活和学习的任何环境或文化。”)可知，最后一段暗示了人工智能具有很强的适应性。故选B项。
七选五
36. 答案：D
解析：前文描述了一个极其空旷、几乎没有物品的房子，甚至像 “监狱牢房” 而非家。这种场景会自然引发读者的疑问：为什么房子如此简陋？空后的句子明确指出 “房主并不贫穷”，是极端极简主义者。因此，空格处需要填入一个承上启下的疑问，衔接 “房子空旷” 的现象与 “房主不贫穷” 的解释。选项 D（“于是你会疑惑，住户是不是太穷了，买不起更多东西来填满房子”）恰好符合这一逻辑，既呼应了前文对房子 “贫瘠” 的描述，又为后文 “房主不贫穷” 的转折做了铺垫。
37. 答案：G
解析：前文提到房主是 “极端极简主义者”，选择限制个人物品数量。空格后则解释了极简主义者的普遍理念：减少多余物品能带来更充实的生活。因此，空格需要衔接 “极端极简主义者的行为” 与 “极简主义的核心理念”。选项 G（“极简主义通过大幅缩减物品数量，与消费主义背道而驰”）中，“缩减物品数量” 呼应了前文的 “限制个人物品”，“与消费主义背道而驰” 则引出了极简主义的核心哲学，为后文 “减少多余物品” 的理念做了铺垫，逻辑连贯。
38. 答案：B
解析：前文指出，极简主义者因物品少，无需花太多时间打扫、纠结缺失的东西或追赶潮流。空格后则说明他们可以投身于热爱的爱好（如锻炼、旅行、陪伴亲人）。因此，空格需要体现 “节省时间” 与 “投入有意义的事” 之间的因果关系。选项 B（“这为他们腾出了时间，去做那些他们认为有意义的事”）中，“这” 指代前文 “无需花太多时间在琐事上”，“腾出时间做有意义的事” 直接衔接后文的 “投身爱好”，形成逻辑闭环。
39. 答案：E
解析：前文提到 “轻度极简主义越来越流行”，并指出这种 “有意识的生活” 反映了人们简化生活、关注真正重要事物的渴望。空格后则说明 “减少物品通常意味着更少压力和更清晰的思路”。因此，空格需要扩展 “轻度极简主义” 的影响范围，涵盖那些未完全践行极简主义的人。选项 E（“即使是那些不接受完全极简主义的人，也能从减少物品中发现价值”）中，“不接受完全极简主义的人” 呼应了前文的 “轻度极简主义”，“发现价值” 则衔接后文 “更少压力、更清晰” 的好处，符合语境。
40. 答案：A
解析：前文指出近藤典子强调 “极简主义不仅仅是扔掉东西或保留想要的东西”。空格需要通过 “Instead”（相反）引出她对极简主义的真正定义，形成转折。选项 A（“相反，它是关于在个人快乐和物品之间找到平衡”）中，“Instead” 直接呼应前文的 “not merely”，“找到平衡” 明确了极简主义的核心，与近藤典子 “只保留能‘激发快乐’的物品” 的理念一致，同时为后文 “即使不成为极简主义者，减少物品也能带来幸福” 做了铺垫。
完形填空
41. C. excuses
解析：前文提到 “I knew exercise is good for health”，但转折词 “but” 表明后文应体现与 “锻炼有益” 相反的态度。空格后列举了 “Running bored me, biking sounded risky, and the gym seemed too much to handle”，这些都是不锻炼的理由。“excuses”（借口）符合语境，指找借口不锻炼比实际锻炼更容易。
42. A. avoid
解析：空格前提到每种锻炼方式都给了 “我” 一个理由，结合前文对锻炼的负面态度，此处应表示 “逃避” 锻炼。“avoid”（避免）与语境一致，句意为 “每种方式都让我有理由逃避，而我确实这么做了”。
43. B. exercise
解析：后文转折 “Instead, they move” 表明，肯尼亚人并非以 “我” 之前认为的方式 “锻炼”。“exercise”（锻炼）与 “move” 形成对比，符合语境，指作者发现当地人的 “运动” 并非传统意义上的 “锻炼”。
44. D. purpose
解析：空格后解释 “They move to reach a destination. They move to hunt and to tend crops”，说明当地人的移动是有明确目标的。“purpose”（目的）对应后文的具体目的，符合语境。
45. C. gym
解析：前文提到作者对 “gym” 的负面看法，而肯尼亚人 “are working out 24-7” 却没有类似场所。“gym”（健身房）在此处与当地人的自然运动形成对比，指他们不需要健身房也能保持运动。
46. A. inspiration
解析：空格后提到 “add meaning to my exercising”，说明作者从肯尼亚人的运动方式中获得了启发。“inspiration”（灵感）符合语境，指作者想从中汲取灵感。
47. B. fitness
解析：后文的 “chicken-cising” 是作者设计的一种锻炼方式，属于健身计划。“fitness”（健身）与 “program” 搭配，指 “健身计划”，符合语境。
48. D. raising
解析：空格后提到 “caring for the flightless birds”，说明作者的计划涉及照顾小鸡。“raising”（饲养）与 “backyard chickens” 搭配，指 “饲养 backyard 小鸡”，符合语境。
49. C. demanding
解析：后文解释 “a full-body workout involving bending, squatting, weightlifting and running around”，说明照顾小鸡需要大量体力活动，是 “费力的”。“demanding”（要求高的）符合语境，指这项活动对体力要求高。
50. B. read
解析：“e-watch”（电子手表）的功能是记录运动数据，“read” 在此处表示 “显示（数据）”，句意为 “我的电子手表显示多达 145 次深蹲和 10,506 步”，符合语境。
51. A. bonuses
解析：后文列举了 “quitting is not an option”“unbeatable workout partners”“Fresh-from-the-hen eggs”，这些都是除了健身之外的额外收获。“bonuses”（额外好处）符合语境，指作者获得了健身房锻炼无法提供的额外益处。
52. D. option
解析：空格后解释 “You can’t... simply decide not to...”，说明照顾小鸡时 “放弃” 不是可以选择的。“option”（选择）符合语境，指放弃不是一个选项。
53. B. turn up
解析：前文提到 “put on your ‘chicken-cise’ clothes”，结合语境，此处指不能穿上衣服后却决定不 “出现”（即不进行照顾小鸡的活动）。“turn up”（出现）符合语境，与 “quit” 呼应。
54. C. cheerfully
解析：空格后“respond to your appearance with encouragement. Bah-Baaaahk!”描述小鸡用叫声“鼓励” 作者，这种回应是积极欢快的。“cheerfully”（欢快地）符合语境，体现小鸡的积极反应。
55. A. meaning
解析：前文提到作者从肯尼亚人的运动中领悟到“add meaning to my exercising”，最终总结运动不需要健身房，而需要 “意义”。“meaning”（意义）呼应全文主旨，即运动的意义比场所更重要。
语法填空：
when
详解：此处需要一个关系副词引导定语从句，修饰先行词“the fifth day of the fifth lunar month”，表示“在……的时候”。从句“summer heat and humidity reached their peak intensity”是一个完整的主谓宾结构，缺少时间状语，因此用“when”引导。
to protect
详解：固定搭配“apply sth. to do sth.”表示“应用某物去做某事”。此处“to protect”是不定式作目的状语，说明“应用一切可能的手段”的目的。
tying
详解：介词“after”后接动名词形式，“tie”的动名词是“tying”，表示“在捆绑它们之后”。
dried
详解：此处需要形容词修饰名词“mugwort”。“dry”的形容词是“dried”，表示“干燥的”，与后文“burned in clay pots”呼应。
with
解析：空格前 “People boiled mugwort too”（人们也会煮艾草）是完整句子，空格后 “the cooled herbal water used for...”（冷却的药草水被用于……）是名词短语，需要介词连接，体现 “煮艾草”与“用冷却的水洗澡” 的伴随关系。“with” 在此表示 “用；以”，构成 “with +宾语+ 过去分词”的复合结构，说明“煮艾草”后“用冷却的水”做某事，符合语境。
symbolic
详解：此处需要形容词修饰名词“ritual acts”。“symbol”的形容词是“symbolic”，表示“象征性的”。
and
详解：此处是三个并列的动名词短语“drinking…, painting…, and saying…”，最后一个并列成分前用“and”连接。
has explained
详解：根据时间状语“Today”和语境，现代科学的解释对现在有影响，用现在完成时“has explained”表示“已经解释”。
an
详解：名词“reminder”是可数单数，且“enduring”以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词“an”。
truly
详解：此处需要副词修饰形容词“essential”。“true”的副词是“truly”，表示“真正地”。

英语试题听力原文
M: These traffic signals aren’t working properly. Yesterday they showed “stop” in both directions. The day before it was “go’ in both directions. It should be “stop” in one way and “go” in the other.
W: Look at them now. They’re back to how they were yesterday.
M: I didn’t see you last night at the office. Are you OK
W: I was so busy. First I was late to meet my sister at the airport, and then we went to the hotel and it was full!
M: I hope everything's OK!
M: I apologize. I need to return this chicken sandwich. It’s totally undercooked. You can see the meat is not done.
W: I’m so sorry. I will have our kitchen make a new one.
M: It’s not necessary. I just want to return it and go.
W: Here, take a look at that one. It’s in the tree across from us. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen it before.
M: Oh, it's beautiful! According to my book, it's very special because it has a blue tail. They don't normally live around here.
W: Good morning, sir. What can I do for you
M: Well, I’d like to ask something about the package tour you advertised in the local newspaper.
W: Okay. What exactly do you want to know
M: Hmm... Will the guide take us to some shopping malls, for example
W: ⑥⑦I’m going to Toronto with my family this Saturday.
M: ⑥Wow, that’s the day after tomorrow! But why so suddenly
W: Well, I had no idea about that. Yesterday, my father came back home from his business trip. He told us that he had bought the plane tickets to Toronto. ⑦He said he just wanted to let us wind down.
M: Your dad is so considerate! ⑦Toronto is a good place to relax. I used to go there to visit my friend.
W: I really look forward to this trip.
M: Wendy, there are dark circles under your eyes. ⑧Did you stay up late working last night
W: No, ⑧I just lost sleep. I thought about too many things before bedtime.
M: ⑧You were just stressed out, because you have to give a presentation next week.
W: ⑧You’re right. Do you think I need to see a doctor and take sleeping pills
M: There’s no need to do so for the time being. ⑨You can do yoga before going to bed or go for a walk after supper. And remember not to drink strong tea or coffee before bedtime.
W: I’ll have a try. Thanks a million.
M: You’re welcome. ⑩You also gave me much assistance when we signed the contract with the clients last time.
W: Cookies (11)
M: Sure! Thanks. Did you make them (11)
W: No! Dad’s the one who loves cooking. (11)I’m more into 3D printing. Look, I bought this last Christmas. (12) It wasn’t cheap! I had to put all my birthday money towards it. But it was worth it.
M: Wow! Is this a 3D printer (12) How does it work, exactly
W: Yes. (12) Basically, you create or download a design onto your computer. Then, the printer builds up a 3D model based on the instructions.
M: What kinds of things do you make (13)
W: Mostly stuff for the house. My first project was a pencil holder for my sister. (13) Then, I moved onto plant containers. Mom’s an indoor gardener! Currently, I’m designing some Halloween decorations.
M: Cool! Can I have a look
W: Sure! Come on up!
W: I’m heading to London next month. (15)
M: My home city… How exciting!
W: I was hoping for some advice! I’ve already booked tickets for the Tower of London and the London Eye. I’m also considering a boat trip down the Thames. (14)
M: Do it! It can be so interesting, particularly if you get a good tour guide. (14)
W: Okay! I mustn’t overspend, though. My air ticket costs enough! (15) Any cheap or free activities you’d recommend
M: Plenty! I suggest Buckingham Palace, where you can watch the changing of the guard. Plus, Borough Market is the place to go if you’re hungry. If you want a taste of London’s street culture, then go to the Southbank Skatepark. It’s near the Thames, so you can visit it right off the boat.
W: Good tip! (16)
M: Many of the big museums are free to visit. Personally, I love the National Portrait Gallery. (17)
W: Why
M: Each piece there carries specific historical backgrounds, character stories, and cultural meanings. It provides an important window and rich resources for people to understand British history and culture. (17)
W: Welcome to the Nightly News at Nine on Channel 29.I'm Dana Spry, filling in for Robert Smith.The top story of the day is an unusual one for Miami. Do you remember the modern art piece that everyone has been talking about Yes, it's the banana taped to the wall at the Art Basel Gallery.Well, David, an artist from New York walked into the gallery yesterday, took the banana from the wall, and ate it. He said his performance was called “Hungry Artist". The artwork was originally sold for 120 thousand dollars. The strangest thing about this story is that no legal action will be taken against David. Another banana will simply be taped to the wall. The art gallery director said that the price of the artwork was for the idea, and the banana was meant to be replaced. It makes sense, because pretty soon that banana is going to go bad, right, folks Stay tuned for traffic, weather and politics coming at you in that order right after this commercial break.
