B Bruce, a kea (啄羊鹦鹉), misses his upper beak (鸟喙), giving the olive green parrot a look of surprise. But scientists are the astonished ones. The typical kea has a long, sharp beak, perfect for digging insects out of rotten logs or ripping roots from the ground in New Zealand’s forests. Bruce has been missing the upper part of his beak since at least 2012 when he was rescued and sent to live at the Willowbank Wildlife Reserve in Christchurch. The defect prevents Bruce from searching for food on his own. Keeping his feathers clean also becomes an impossible task. In 2021, when comparative psychologist Amalia Bastos arrived at the reserve with colleagues to study keas, the zookeepers reported something odd: Bruce had seemingly figured out how to use small stones to preen (用喙整理羽毛). “We were like, ‘Well, that’s weird,’” says Bastos. Over nine days, the team kept a close eye on Bruce, quickly taking videos if he started cleaning his feathers. It turned out that Bruce had indeed invented his own way to preen, the researchers reported in Scientific Reports. First, Bruce selects the proper tool, rolling pebbles (鹅卵石) around in his mouth with his tongue and spitting out candidates until he finds one he likes, usually something pointy. Next, he holds the pebble between his tongue and lower beak. Then, he picks through his feathers. “It’s crazy because the behavior was not there from the wild,” Bastos says. Bruce was too young to have learned how to preen when he arrived at Willowbank. No other bird in the reserve uses pebbles in this way. “It seems like he just innovated this tool use for himself. It demonstrates a really flexible intelligence because it means he’s been able to create his own solution to a problem unique to him,” Bastos says. 24. What do we know from the first two paragraphs? A. Bruce was born in a reserve. B. Bruce has a physical disability. C. Keas are an endangered species. D. New Zealand is the only habitat of keas. 25. What did the researchers initially think of Bruce’s behavior? A. It was normal. B. It was dangerous. C. It was very strange. D. It was totally unacceptable. 26. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. What led to Bruce’s special behavior. B. How Bruce uses tools to preen himself. C. Why Bruce needs to keep feathers clean. D. How zookeepers rescued Bruce from danger. 27. Which of the following can best describe Bruce according to Bastos? A. A creative player. B. An innovative partner. C. A smart problem-solver. D. An ambitious self-starter. C Researchers at the Université de Montreal have found that our favorite music, particularly the emotions brought on by listening to bittersweet music, might be an effective, drug-free way of lowering our perception of pain. Music has long been known to have a hypoalgesic effect, meaning that it causes a decreased sensitivity to painful stimuli (刺激物). But to test which kind of music was most effective for reducing pain, 63 participants received moderately painful heat stimuli to the inner forearm, resulting in a sensation similar to a hot teacup being held against the skin. The pain was paired with short pieces of music, each lasting around seven minutes. Listening to their favorite music strongly reduced pain intensity and unpleasantness in participants, compared to control tracks or silence. Unfamiliar relaxing tracks did not have the same effect. The researchers then interviewed participants about their favorite songs and conducted an analysis about four themes related to categories of emotional experience: energizing/activating, happy/cheerful, calming/relaxing, and moving/bittersweet. They wanted to see whether emotion themes could modulate the hypoalgesic effect of favorite music. “We found that reports of moving or bittersweet emotional experiences seem to result in lower ratings of pain unpleasantness, which was driven by more intense enjoyment of the music and more musical chills,” said Valevicius. While they don’t define “musical chills” in their paper, the researchers point to previous neurological studies that suggest a dopamine (多巴胺) pathway in the brain may be fundamental to both the enjoyment of music and music-induced chills. In some people, the researchers say, chills can appear as a tingling sensation, shivers, or goosebumps. 28 What is the common view about music? A. It has a pain-decreasing effect. B. It can enhance brain development. C. It is a universal language of mankind. D. It may reduce feelings of pressure and depression. 29. What does the underlined word “modulate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Ruin. B. Improve. C. Judge. D. Adjust. 30. What can be learned about musical chills? A. They will be further studied by researchers. B. They have been defined in previous studies. C. They may be related to dopamine in the brain. D. They contribute little to the enjoyment of music. 31. What’s the text mainly about? A. Listening to music can make us more focused. B. Music is a powerful tool for boosting our mood. C. Emotional pain has an impact on our physical health. D. Our favorite bittersweet music may help relieve pain. D In the Roman times and throughout the Middle Ages, salt was a valuable commodity (商品), and also served as “white gold”. Soldiers in the Roman army were sometimes paid with salt instead of money. Their monthly allowance was called “salarium” (“sal” being the Latin word for salt). This Latin root can be recognized in the French word “salaire” and it eventually made it into English as the word “salary”. Language is something we take for granted. However, as the example with the word “salary” shows, languages are not static. Like biological species, languages change over time, and sometimes develop to give rise to several descendant (后代) languages. For example, French, Italian, and Spanish are among the languages that have evolved from Latin. And like species, languages can go extinct, too. Given all these similarities, linguists (语言学家) who study the evolution of languages often use tools that are similar to those used by evolutionary biologists. One such tool is the reconstruction of a species tree. Such a tree shows the evolutionary history and relationships within a given group of biological species. Using a reconstructed species tree, evolutionary biologists can often infer specific characteristics of ancestral species. Or they can match up common ancestors in the tree with actual fossils that have been found by paleontologists (古生物学家). This allows them to put real dates at various branching points in the tree. Thus, species tree reconstruction is an essential tool in studying biological evolution. A similar technique can be used to study language evolution because languages also evolve and consist of words that can be easily compared. Indeed, linguists have reconstructed entire language trees. And as with species trees, characteristics of ancient ancestral languages can be derived (衍生) from them. Of course, there also are some differences between species evolution and language evolution, each requiring unique additional methods to study them in detail. But, overall, it is fascinating to see how the basic ideas and research tools of language evolution are similar to those of biological evolution. 32. Why does the author mention the word “salary” in paragraph 1? A. To illustrate the evolution of language. B. To present the effect of Latin on languages. C. To stress the value of salt in ancient times. D. To show developments in linguistic theory. 33. What can we infer from paragraph 2? A. Cultural diversity and biodiversity are linked. B. Species and languages have a lot in common. C. Human-caused mass extinction is accelerating. D. Languages influence and learn from each other. 34. What can we know about the reconstructed species tree? A. It is currently in the design stage. B. It facilitates the research of linguists. C. It can be used in a variety of ways. D. It is the first choice for biologists. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Language System Evolved Over Time B. The Twin Extinctions of Species and Languages C Salt Played a Crucial Role in Early Human History D. From Salt to Salary: Linguists Take a Page from Biology 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。 As you prepare to enter the workforce, here are four tips that may help set yourself up for authentic career confidence.

Are you coming?” a voice called from downstairs. “Yes,” Helen replied, quickly putting on her slightly tight dress. “Where are we going, Dad?” she asked, surprised by this rare opportunity to spend time with her father. He had been working tirelessly to support the family. “We’re off to collect the rent,” he responded. “Oh,” she understood. The rent was their lifeline during the Great Depression (经济大萧条), and going without it was unthinkable. Their first stop was at the home of Mrs. Miller, who quickly handed them the rent in dollar bills. But the second tenant (租客) Mr. Schmidt was still searching his home for coins when they arrived. Apologizing, he gave them a bag full of coins. The third tenants, the Katzes, worried Helen and her father. Their financial struggles had worsened, even though Helen’s father had reduced their rent. He said it was important to be especially considerate to this family because Mr. Katz had served in the army and deserved their gratitude. Mrs. Katz greeted them at the door, her eyes red from crying. Despite their financial difficulties, the inside of the apartment was always immaculately clean (一尘不染). Mr. Katz and the two children were sitting at the table, waiting for them. The family all had such gaunt (枯瘦的) faces. Helen was embarrassed, suddenly, by her own good health. It felt like a mark of her guilt when she saw the little girl’s narrow, sad face and the boy’s large eyes. Mr. Katz gave Helen’s father the money he was holding, and her father thanked him. Just as they were about to leave, Mrs. Katz’s trembling voice stopped them. She said, “Mr. Resnick, we haven’t eaten in two days.” Helen couldn’t imagine such a thing. Her stomach ached just to think of it. They returned to the table, and Helen’s father silently placed the Katzes’ rent money back on it and counted out two dollars in coins. “Helen,” he said, “I want you to go to the grocer’s with this money, buy food, and bring it back here.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Helen nodded, took the money, and rushed off to the grocer’s. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Everyone’s eyes turned to Helen as she entered Mr. Katz’s house. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 英语试题 (考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分) 注意事项： 1. 答题前，务必在答题卡和答题卷规定的地方填写自己的姓名、准考证号和座位号后两位。 2. 答题时，每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 3. 答题时，必须使用0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔在答题卷上书写，要求字体工整、笔迹清晰。作图题可先用铅笔在答题卷规定的位置绘出，确认后再用0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔描清楚。必须在题号所指示的答题区域作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上答题无效。 4. 考试结束，务必将答题卡和答题卷一并上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 【1题答案】 【答案】B 【2题答案】 【答案】C 【3题答案】 【答案】C 【4题答案】 【答案】B 【5题答案】 【答案】A 第二节(共15小题;每小题1.5分，满分22.5分) 听下面5段对话或独白。每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟;听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍。 【6~7题答案】 【答案】6.

The cold air nipped at her cheeks as she made her way. Reflecting on the contrast between her family’s situation and that of Mr. Katz, she acknowledged her modest privilege, even though her family was far from rich, and resolved to do something meaningful. At the store, Helen carefully chose food that was both filling and nutritious. With her arms heavy with bags, she raced back, hoping to bring the family some comfort in these hard times. Everyone’s eyes turned to Helen as she entered Mr. Katz’s house. The children’s faces lit up at the sight of the food, and even Mrs. Katz’s weary expression softened into a hopeful smile as Helen unpacked the groceries. Mr. Katz murmured his thanks, his voice thick with emotion. On the way home, her father said softly to Helen, “Sometimes, sharing what we have is the truest form of wealth.” She nodded, realizing the power of compassion: it not only brought warmth to the givers, but lightened the burdens of others, even if just for a little while. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
