I had no greater power of concentration than the lifeless stare of a goldfish. As a writer, I was ashamed to admit that my love of books had been compromised by a brain that simply could not sit still. So, this year I committed myself to restoring books to the place that they held in my life before the Internet broke my brain. My goal was 52 books: It seemed like an impossible task. A 400-page book will take the average person around eight hours to read. Finding the time to read was a challenge but here's how I did it. Firstly, I decided to treat my mind like a misbehaving child who needs some rules laid down.Then I decided that I would read for an hour or two at a time without distraction each day. It was something I hadn't done in years and it was scary how difficult it was. In his book,The Distracted Mind, Larry Rosen says that the more we practice spending time away from our electronic devices, the calmer and more focused we become. And this is what I found. Again and again, I would gently bring myself back to the page, resisting the urge to reach for that screen. I took inspiration from Niki Gemmell, who describes in On Quiet, how investing in a safe to lock away her family's devices for long periods had opened up a space for deep reflection. For me, finding that quiet time meant finding time in my day just to read. It was like a date between me and my book. And it meant actively choosing to read at times when I normally would reach for my phone. I read on the tram, at the park, in bed at night and on lunch breaks. By reawakening my love with books I created a sacred space where I could press pause and found inspiration knowledge, reflection and escape. In our modern world, reading is a powerful and beneficial way for us to slow down and be ourselves. 24. What was the first thing the author did to achieve the goal? A. The author went to the bookstore to buy books. B. The author was determined to regulate himself. C. The author was buried in reading for an hour or two at once. D. The author decided to get involved in reading with people around. 25. What is the author’s attitude towards electronic devices? A. Favorable. B. Ambiguous. C. Doubtful. D. Critical. 26. What can we infer about the author? A. The author benefited a lot from reading books. B. The author got inspiration when he reached for the screen. C. The author would rather read books outdoors than indoors. D. The author was reminded to kill time with electronic devices. 27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Going back to the books B. Falling in love with reading C. Escaping from the noisy world D. Resisting the urge to reach for the screen 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者采取行动唤醒对书籍的热爱的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Firstly, I decided to treat my mind like a misbehaving child who needs some rules laid down.(首先，我决定像对待一个不听话的孩子一样对待我的思想，需要制定一些规则)”可知，为了达到目标，作者做的第一件事是决心为自己制定规则。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In his book,The Distracted Mind, Larry Rosen says that the more we practice spending time away from our electronic devices, the calmer and more focused we become. And this is what I found.(拉里·罗森在他的书《分心的心灵》中说，我们练习远离电子设备的时间越多，我们就会变得越平静，越专注。这就是我的发现)”可知，作者对电子设备的态度是批判的。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“By reawakening my love with books I created a sacred space where I could press pause and found inspiration knowledge, reflection and escape.(通过重新唤醒我对书籍的热爱，我创造了一个神圣的空间，在那里我可以按下暂停键，找到灵感、知识、反思和逃避)”可知，作者从读书中获益匪浅。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“So, this year I committed myself to restoring books to the place that they held in my life before the Internet broke my brain.(所以，今年我决心要把书恢复到互联网打破我的大脑之前它们在我生活中的地位)”和最后一段的“By reawakening my love with books I created a sacred space where I could press pause and found inspiration knowledge, reflection and escape.(通过重新唤醒我对书籍的热爱，我创造了一个神圣的空间，在那里我可以按下暂停键，找到灵感、知识、反思和逃避)”可知，本文主要讲的是作者采取行动唤醒对书籍的热爱的故事，因此本文最好的题目是A选项“Going back to the books(回到书本上来)”，故选A。 C Possible discovery of the first planet outside our galaxy Signs of a planet transiting (经过) a star outside of the Milky Way galaxy may have been detected for the first time. This intriguing result, using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, opens up a new window to search for exoplanets at greater distances than ever before. The possible exoplanet candidate is located in the spiral galaxy Messier 51 (M51), also called the Whirlpool galaxy because of its distinctive profile. “We are trying to open up a whole new arena for finding other worlds by searching for planet candidates at X-ray wavelengths, a strategy that makes it possible to discover them in other galaxies,” said Rosanne Di Stefano of the Center for Astrophysics I Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA), who led the study, which was published Monday in Nature Astronomy. Because the region producing bright X-rays is small, a planet passing in front of it could block most or all of the X-rays, making the transit easier to spot because the X-rays can completely disappear. This could allow exoplanets to be detected at much greater distances than current optical light transit studies, which must be able to detect tiny decreases in light because the planet only blocks a tiny part of the star. The team used this method to detect the exoplanet candidate in a binary system (双星系统) called M51-ULS-1, located in M51. This binary system contains a black hole or neutron star or biting a companion star with a mass about 20 times that of the sun. The X-ray transit they found using Chandra data lasted about three hours, during which the X-ray emission decreased to zero. Based on this and other information, the researchers estimate the exoplanet candidate in M51-ULS-1 would be roughly the size of Saturn, and orbit the neutron star or black hole at about twice Saturn’s distance from the sun. While this is a tantalizing (引起好奇心的) study, more data would be needed to confirm the understanding as an extragalactic (银河系外的) exoplanet. One challenge is that the planet candidate’s large orbit means it would not cross in front of its binary partner again for about 70 years, thwarting (阻碍) any attempts for a confirming observation for decades. 28 What is the significance of the new finding for future study? A. It has distinctive result. B. It opens up exploration at longer distance. C. It uses NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. D. It detects a star outside of the Milky Way for the first time. 29. According to Rosanne Di, how did they try to find exoplanets? A. By using X-ray wavelengths to look for exoplanets. B. By discovering exoplanets in other galaxies. C. By opening up a whole new arena. D. By finding other worlds. 30. What does this refer to in paragraph 4? A. Chandra data. B. X-ray emission. C. The decrease of X-ray. D. The X-ray transit that lasted three hours. 31. What’s the team’s future focus? A. Thwart attempts. B. Tantalize the study. C. Confirm observation. D. Find more information. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一颗行星在银河系外凌日的迹象可能首次被发现。这一有趣的结果是由美国宇航局的钱德拉X射线天文台获得的，它为在比以往更远的地方寻找系外行星打开了一扇新的窗口。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This intriguing result, using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, opens up a new window to search for exoplanets at greater distances than ever before.(这一有趣的结果是由美国宇航局的钱德拉X射线天文台获得的，它为在比以往更远的地方寻找系外行星打开了一扇新的窗口)”可知，这一新发现开启了更远距离的探索。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“We are trying to open up a whole new arena for finding other worlds by searching for planet candidates at X-ray wavelengths, a strategy that makes it possible to discover them in other galaxies(我们正试图开辟一个全新的领域，通过在X射线波长上搜索候选行星来寻找其他世界，这一策略使在其他星系中发现它们成为可能)”可知，根据Rosanne Di的说法，他们通过使用X射线波长来寻找系外行星。故选A。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The X-ray transit they found using Chandra data lasted about three hours, during which the X-ray emission decreased to zero.(他们利用钱德拉的数据发现的X射线凌日持续了大约三个小时，在此期间，X射线的发射减少到零)”以及后文“and other information, the researchers estimate the exoplanet candidate in M51-ULS-1 would be roughly the size of Saturn, and orbit the neutron star or black hole at about twice Saturn’s distance from the sun(和其他信息，研究人员估计M51-ULS-1中的候选系外行星大约有土星那么大，围绕中子星或黑洞运行，距离太阳大约是土星的两倍)”可知，研究人员基于X射线的减少的信息，估计M51-ULS-1中的候选系外行星大约和土星一样大，围绕中子星或黑洞运行，距离大约是土星到太阳距离的两倍。故this指的是“X射线的减少”。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“While this is a tantalizing (引起好奇心的) study, more data would be needed to confirm the understanding as an extragalactic (银河系外的) exoplanet.(虽然这是一项诱人的研究，但还需要更多的数据来证实这是一颗河外系外行星)”可知，团队未来的重点是找到更多信息。故选D。 D Figuring out biodiversity patterns and detecting rare or just-good-at-hiding species has long posed challenges for ecosystem monitoring and conservation efforts. Traditional survey methods are labor intensive and cover limited areas. Now, emerging environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques open new possibilities. Scientists collect water or soil samples from an environment and extract any DNA traces left behind by organisms. This is the environmental DNA (eDNA). They then use one of the two analysis methods-quantitative PCR (qPCR)or DNA sequencing. Similar to COVID tests, qPCR is used to detect if a specific species’ DNA is in the sample. For example, researchers tested river water eDNA to see if endangered fish X was present. When it was detected, they confirmed that the fish lived in that river without directly seeing it. DNA sequencing analyzes all DNA in the sample at once. Scientists can then match the DNA barcodes to databases to identify which species were in the sampled environment. Although eDNA sampling cannot identify new species or those only known from photos and videos if they are not already listed in the reference databases, the real power of it lies in its ability to capture a wide range of organisms. With just one sample, scientists can detect all kinds of living things, from bacteria to whales, in almost any environment where life exists, including the deep sea and underground caves. One of the most significant advantages of eDNA sampling is that it allows scientists to detect species that are difficult to see or capture. This is particularly useful when studying rare or very small species, or when working in environments like dark water where visibility is limited. This is just the start. Imagine a future where eDNA data could be collected from the most remote oceans by autonomous vehicles, analyzed by the drone (无人机) or on board a research vessel, and integrated with other monitoring data so marine managers and the public can see near-real-time data about the condition of the ocean. Science fiction? Not any more. 32. What can we infer from paragraph 1? A. Finding out species diversity is difficult for related scientists. B. The previous research methods are completely depend on labor. C. eDNA techniques could make up for some limitations posed by the traditional one. D. eDNA techniques have already substituted traditional survey methods. 33. What’s the advantage of eDNA sampling? A. It can detect species from photos and videos. B. It can help scientists capture endangered species. C. It improves adaptability to different researching environments. D It can identify any living creature with a sample of it. 34. What could eDNA data be applied to in the future? A. Studying microbial communities. B. Analyzing diversity changes over time. C. Collecting species in new environments. D. Offering statistics for ocean supervision. 35. What’s the main idea of the text? A. New biodiversity monitoring techniques are around the corner. B. Traditional survey methods are abandoned for their shortcomings. C. Rare species have been discovered with two analysis methods. D Scientists have made a breakthrough in undersea research. 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。新的生物多样性监测技术——环境DNA (eDNA)技术即将问世，文章对其进行了介绍。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Traditional survey methods are labor intensive and cover limited areas. Now, emerging environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques open new possibilities. (传统的调查方法是劳动密集型的，覆盖范围有限。现在，新兴的环境DNA（eDNA）技术开辟了新的可能性。)”可知，第一段明确提到传统调查方法存在局限性（劳动强度大和覆盖区域有限），而新兴的环境DNA（eDNA）技术开辟了新的可能性。这表明DNA技术可以弥补传统技术带来的一些限制，因此选项C是合理的推断。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Although eDNA sampling cannot identify new species or those only known from photos and videos if they are not already listed in the reference databases, the real power of it lies in its ability to capture a wide range of organisms. With just one sample, scientists can detect all kinds of living things, from bacteria to whales, in almost any environment where life exists, including the deep sea and underground caves. One of the most significant advantages of eDNA sampling is that it allows scientists to detect species that are difficult to see or capture. This is particularly useful when studying rare or very small species, or when working in environments like dark water where visibility is limited. (虽然eDNA采样不能识别新物种，或者那些只从照片和视频中知道的物种，如果它们没有被列入参考数据库，但它的真正力量在于它能够捕获范围广泛的生物。只需一个样本，科学家就可以在几乎任何有生命存在的环境中探测到各种生物，从细菌到鲸鱼，包括深海和地下洞穴。eDNA采样的一个最显著的优势是，它允许科学家探测到难以看到或捕获的物种。这在研究稀有或非常小的物种时特别有用，或者在像黑暗水域这样的可见度有限的环境中工作时特别有用。)”可知，eDNA采样的优势在于它能提高对不同研究环境的适应性，这与选项C的描述相符，eDNA采样能够在各种环境中检测生物。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Imagine a future where eDNA data could be collected from the most remote oceans by autonomous vehicles, analyzed by the drone (无人机) or on board a research vessel, and integrated with other monitoring data so marine managers and the public can see near-real-time data about the condition of the ocean. (想象一下，未来eDNA数据可以由自动驾驶车辆从最偏远的海洋收集，由无人机或研究船上进行分析，并与其他监测数据相结合，这样海洋管理者和公众就可以看到有关海洋状况的近实时数据。)”可知，eDNA数据在未来可以应用于为海洋监管提供统计数据。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段提到“Figuring out biodiversity patterns and detecting rare or just-good-at-hiding species has long posed challenges for ecosystem monitoring and conservation efforts. Traditional survey methods are labor intensive and cover limited areas. Now, emerging environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques open new possibilities.( 长期以来，弄清楚生物多样性的模式，探测稀有或善于隐藏的物种，一直是生态系统监测和保护工作的挑战。传统的调查方法是劳动密集型的，覆盖范围有限。现在，新兴的环境DNA (eDNA)技术开启了新的可能性。)”，随后文章详细介绍了eDNA技术在生物多样性监测中的优势和应用。选项A. New biodiversity monitoring techniques are around the corner. (新的生物多样性监测技术即将到来。) 这与文章的主旨相符，文章主要介绍了eDNA这一新的生物多样性监测技术。可知，文章主要是讲新的生物多样性监测技术即将问世。故选A项。 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。 Shein exemplifies a new style of Chinese multinational Xu Yangtian founded Shein in 2008.

F 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章通过介绍Shein的创始人许仰天及其公司的成功，展现了Shein作为新兴中国跨国公司的特点。 【36题详解】 空格前的句子提到“Xu Yangtian founded Shein in 2008. The creator of the fashion world's latest hit is a specialist in search-engine optimisation (最优化). This year Shein's gross merchandise value (GMV) is forecast to surpass $20 billion. By 2022 analysts expect Shein's (GMV) to overtake Zara's revenues. (许仰天于2008年创立Shein。时尚界最新热门产品的创造者是搜索引擎优化专家。今年Shein的商品总价值预计将超过200亿美元。分析师预计，到2022年，Shein的GMV收入将超过Zara。)”，这部分内容主要介绍了Shein的创始人许仰天以及公司的成功预测。因此，我们需要找到一个能总结Shein成功原因的句子。观察选项，B选项“Shein's success has three threads.”(Shein的成功有三个要点。)恰好可以承接上文，引出下文关于Shein成功原因的详细解释。故选B。 【37题详解】 根据空格前的“Shein tests the new designs simultaneously (同时地) on its app. If a new design is popular, the company quickly orders more. (Shein在其应用程序上同时测试新设计。如果一种新设计很受欢迎，公司会很快订购更多。)”可知，公司在其应用程序上同时测试新设计。如果一种新的设计很受欢迎，公司很快就会订购更多。部分内容主要描述了Shein如何通过在线测试来确定哪些设计受欢迎，并据此快速调整生产。因此，我们需要找到一个与在线测试或市场反应相关的句子。观察选项，E选项“If consumers shrug (耸肩) at the new style, no more orders are placed.” (如果消费者对新款式不感兴趣，那么就不会再下订单。) 与上文内容相关，并暗示了市场反应对Shein决策的重要性。故选E。 【38题详解】 根据空格后的句子“Besides handing out products free of charge to influencers, it has recruited local designers in America and several other countries. As well as dreaming up new clothes, they market its products and backstories on social media. (除了向有影响力的人免费发放产品外，它还在美国和其他几个国家招募了当地设计师。除了设计新衣服，他们还在社交媒体上营销其产品和背景故事。)”可知，这部分内容主要描述了Shein在销售和营销方面的策略，包括与影响者合作和招募本地设计师。因此，我们需要找到一个与销售和营销相关的句子。观察选项，G选项“Shein has used digital understanding also in sales and marketing — the second thread of its success.”(Shein在销售和营销方面也运用了数字理解——其成功的第二个要点。) 与下文内容紧密相连，符合语境。故选G。 【39题详解】 根据空格前面的“The third ingredient is brilliant avoidance of geopolitical controversy. Shein wears its Chineseness lightly. Unlike other Chinese brands such as Huawei, it sells next to nothing domestically. (第三个要素是巧妙地避免地缘政治争议。Shein把它的中国风穿得很淡。与华为等其他中国品牌不同，它在国内几乎没有销售。)”可知，这句话主要描述了Shein如何巧妙地避免政治争议，以及它在国内市场的销售情况。在给出的选项中，D选项“That weakens its association with China in Western eyes.” (这削弱了它在西方眼中的与中国的关联。)讲的是它削弱与中国在西方眼中的联系，与这个空格的内容最为匹配。故选D。 【40题详解】 根据空格后面的“The company relies on collecting lots of data from American shoppers. Shein's Western competitors may use national security as a reason to fight against its relentless (不留情面的) rise. That would be a compliment — after a fashion. (该公司依靠从美国消费者那里收集大量数据。Shein的西方竞争对手可能会以国家安全为理由来对抗其无情的崛起。那将是一种赞美——在某种程度上)”内容，这句话主要描述了Shein依赖收集大量美国购物者的数据，以及它的西方竞争对手可能会使用国家安全作为理由来对抗其不留情面的崛起。在给出的选项中，F选项“For all its stupendous (惊人的) success, Mr Xu's formula is not without risks.”(尽管许先生的公式取得了惊人的成功，但也不是没有风险的。) 讲的是虽然Shein取得了成功，但也存在一些风险，与这个空格的内容最为匹配。故选F。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 My mother has always been one of those rare people that sees the good in everyone and does good things.

He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too. He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said. The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone. During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him. Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言). 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 recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. Not wanting him to feel left out, I walked over and sat down beside him. “Hey Germy,” he said. “My name is Jamie.” I replied. I wanted to apologize for starting that rumor about him, but I was too ashamed to say it out loudly. “Del, do you want to play kickball with us?” I asked instead. He looked surprised but happy at the same time. After a moment of silence, he nodded his head. Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I stood up and shouted to the other kids, “Guys, come here! Let’s play kickball together! ” Some of them hesitated, but they eventually joined us. Del was smiling again and so were we. As we played, I realized that Del wasn’t as bad as I thought he was. He was just a normal kid who wanted to have fun and be accepted by others. From then on, whenever someone tried to start a rumor about him, I would stand up for him and tell them the truth about Del. We became good friends, and I learned an important lesson about judging people based on rumors. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者不喜欢一个名叫Del的同学，因为那同学总是称呼作者外号，并且是有名的捣蛋鬼。一次校长把Del叫去办公室，作者透过窗户看到另一个小男孩在哭泣，Del也不高兴，作者认为Del打了人，要被学校开除了，就把自己想象的结果传播给同学，同学们信以为真。Del回到学校后，大家都不和他玩，他很孤独。后来作者知道了真相，校长把Del叫去办公室，是因为他妈妈病了，那个哭泣的小孩是Del的弟弟。作者知道自己传播了谣言，感觉对不起Del，作者主动和Del打招呼，带动其他同学和Del一起玩。他们最终成为好朋友的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天课间休息时，我看见Del独自坐着看踢球比赛。”可知，第一段可描写作者想要主动和Del打招呼，和Del一起玩。 ②由第二段首句内容“既然Del已经原谅了我，我决定在课间休息结束前做更多的事情。”可知，第二段可描写作者带动其他同学和Del一起玩，通过交流他们成为好朋友。 2.续写线索：走过去——打招呼——道歉——请求一起玩——带动其他同学一起玩——成为好朋友——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 1.说：say/put it 2.道歉：apologize/say sorry 3.接受：accept/recognize 4.加入：join/take part 情绪类 1. 惊讶的：surprised/astonished 2. 快乐的：happy/pleased/delighted 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

B My head was so full of digital noise that it felt like my brain was about to blow a fuse (导火线). I had no greater power of concentration than the lifeless stare of a goldfish. As a writer, I was ashamed to admit that my love of books had been compromised by a brain that simply could not sit still. So, this year I committed myself to restoring books to the place that they held in my life before the Internet broke my brain. My goal was 52 books: It seemed like an impossible task. A 400-page book will take the average person around eight hours to read. Finding the time to read was a challenge but here's how I did it. Firstly, I decided to treat my mind like a misbehaving child who needs some rules laid down.Then I decided that I would read for an hour or two at a time without distraction each day. It was something I hadn't done in years and it was scary how difficult it was. In his book,The Distracted Mind, Larry Rosen says that the more we practice spending time away from our electronic devices, the calmer and more focused we become. And this is what I found. Again and again, I would gently bring myself back to the page, resisting the urge to reach for that screen. I took inspiration from Niki Gemmell, who describes in On Quiet, how investing in a safe to lock away her family's devices for long periods had opened up a space for deep reflection. For me, finding that quiet time meant finding time in my day just to read. It was like a date between me and my book. And it meant actively choosing to read at times when I normally would reach for my phone. I read on the tram, at the park, in bed at night and on lunch breaks. By reawakening my love with books I created a sacred space where I could press pause and found inspiration knowledge, reflection and escape. In our modern world, reading is a powerful and beneficial way for us to slow down and be ourselves. 24. What was the first thing the author did to achieve the goal? A. The author went to the bookstore to buy books. B The author was determined to regulate himself. C. The author was buried in reading for an hour or two at once. D. The author decided to get involved in reading with people around. 25. What is the author’s attitude towards electronic devices? A. Favorable. B. Ambiguous. C. Doubtful. D. Critical. 26. What can we infer about the author? A The author benefited a lot from reading books. B. The author got inspiration when he reached for the screen. C. The author would rather read books outdoors than indoors. D. The author was reminded to kill time with electronic devices. 27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Going back to the books B. Falling in love with reading C. Escaping from the noisy world D. Resisting the urge to reach for the screen C Possible discovery of the first planet outside our galaxy Signs of a planet transiting (经过) a star outside of the Milky Way galaxy may have been detected for the first time. This intriguing result, using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, opens up a new window to search for exoplanets at greater distances than ever before. The possible exoplanet candidate is located in the spiral galaxy Messier 51 (M51), also called the Whirlpool galaxy because of its distinctive profile. “We are trying to open up a whole new arena for finding other worlds by searching for planet candidates at X-ray wavelengths, a strategy that makes it possible to discover them in other galaxies,” said Rosanne Di Stefano of the Center for Astrophysics I Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA), who led the study, which was published Monday in Nature Astronomy. Because the region producing bright X-rays is small, a planet passing in front of it could block most or all of the X-rays, making the transit easier to spot because the X-rays can completely disappear. This could allow exoplanets to be detected at much greater distances than current optical light transit studies, which must be able to detect tiny decreases in light because the planet only blocks a tiny part of the star. The team used this method to detect the exoplanet candidate in a binary system (双星系统) called M51-ULS-1, located in M51. This binary system contains a black hole or neutron star or biting a companion star with a mass about 20 times that of the sun. The X-ray transit they found using Chandra data lasted about three hours, during which the X-ray emission decreased to zero. Based on this and other information, the researchers estimate the exoplanet candidate in M51-ULS-1 would be roughly the size of Saturn, and orbit the neutron star or black hole at about twice Saturn’s distance from the sun. While this is a tantalizing (引起好奇心的) study, more data would be needed to confirm the understanding as an extragalactic (银河系外的) exoplanet. One challenge is that the planet candidate’s large orbit means it would not cross in front of its binary partner again for about 70 years, thwarting (阻碍) any attempts for a confirming observation for decades. 28. What is the significance of the new finding for future study? A. It has distinctive result. B. It opens up exploration at longer distance. C. It uses NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. D. It detects a star outside of the Milky Way for the first time. 29. According to Rosanne Di, how did they try to find exoplanets? A. By using X-ray wavelengths to look for exoplanets. B. By discovering exoplanets in other galaxies. C. By opening up a whole new arena. D. By finding other worlds. 30. What does this refer to in paragraph 4? A. Chandra data. B. X-ray emission. C. The decrease of X-ray. D. The X-ray transit that lasted three hours. 31. What’s the team’s future focus? A. Thwart attempts. B. Tantalize the study. C. Confirm observation. D. Find more information. D Figuring out biodiversity patterns and detecting rare or just-good-at-hiding species has long posed challenges for ecosystem monitoring and conservation efforts. Traditional survey methods are labor intensive and cover limited areas. Now, emerging environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques open new possibilities. Scientists collect water or soil samples from an environment and extract any DNA traces left behind by organisms. This is the environmental DNA (eDNA). They then use one of the two analysis methods-quantitative PCR (qPCR)or DNA sequencing. Similar to COVID tests, qPCR is used to detect if a specific species’ DNA is in the sample. For example, researchers tested river water eDNA to see if endangered fish X was present. When it was detected, they confirmed that the fish lived in that river without directly seeing it. DNA sequencing analyzes all DNA in the sample at once. Scientists can then match the DNA barcodes to databases to identify which species were in the sampled environment. Although eDNA sampling cannot identify new species or those only known from photos and videos if they are not already listed in the reference databases, the real power of it lies in its ability to capture a wide range of organisms. With just one sample, scientists can detect all kinds of living things, from bacteria to whales, in almost any environment where life exists, including the deep sea and underground caves. One of the most significant advantages of eDNA sampling is that it allows scientists to detect species that are difficult to see or capture. This is particularly useful when studying rare or very small species, or when working in environments like dark water where visibility is limited. This is just the start. Imagine a future where eDNA data could be collected from the most remote oceans by autonomous vehicles, analyzed by the drone (无人机) or on board a research vessel, and integrated with other monitoring data so marine managers and the public can see near-real-time data about the condition of the ocean. Science fiction? Not any more. 32. What can we infer from paragraph 1? A. Finding out species diversity is difficult for related scientists. B. The previous research methods are completely depend on labor. C. eDNA techniques could make up for some limitations posed by the traditional one. D. eDNA techniques have already substituted traditional survey methods. 33. What’s the advantage of eDNA sampling? A. It can detect species from photos and videos. B. It can help scientists capture endangered species. C. It improves adaptability to different researching environments. D. It can identify any living creature with a sample of it. 34. What could eDNA data be applied to in the future? A. Studying microbial communities. B. Analyzing diversity changes over time. C. Collecting species in new environments. D. Offering statistics for ocean supervision. 35. What’s the main idea of the text? A. New biodiversity monitoring techniques are around the corner. B. Traditional survey methods are abandoned for their shortcomings. C. Rare species have been discovered with two analysis methods. D. Scientists have made a breakthrough in undersea research. 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。 Shein exemplifies a new style of Chinese multinational Xu Yangtian founded Shein in 2008.

He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too. He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said. The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone. During recess(课间休息) Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him. Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言). 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 recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
