In the summer of 2020, a devastating wildfire, ignited by a lightning strike, swept across 43,000 acres of Cima Dome within the Mojave National Preserve in California. This area is renowned for being home to the planet's most extensive Joshua tree forest. The inferno led to the destruction of 1.3 million Joshua trees, which equates to roughly a quarter of the forest's population. The task of rehabilitating this ecosystem was a formidable one. However, an unconventional approach was implemented to aid in the revival of these distinctive desert flora: employing camels to assist in the restoration efforts.
During the ice age, the now-extinct giant sloths played a pivotal role in the dispersal of Joshua tree seeds through their feeding habits. In their absence, smaller mammals have assumed this function, but with significantly less effectiveness. "Joshua tree seeds are not dispersed rapidly," remarked Debra Hughson, a worker at the Mojave National Preserve. "Their movement is slow and limited when relying solely on the presence of small mammals."
The strategy focused initially on reviving the Cima Dome region due to its higher altitude, which offers the trees a better chance of withstanding the impacts of climate change. Hughson, along with her team of professional volunteers, commenced the planting of seedlings in the scorched landscape. However, the theoretically sound plan did not translate well into practice. The location's remote wilderness status means that even reaching it requires a multi-hour hike.
This is where Herbie, Sully, and Chico, three camels, stepped in as unlikely heroes.
The innovative idea to utilize these camels originated from Nance Fite, a 70-year-old volunteer at the reserve. Upon learning about the restoration initiative, she dedicated herself to persuading the Park Service to enlist the camels' assistance. She also managed to convince her friend Jennifer Lagusker, the camels' owner, to bring them to the preserve. Since 2021, these three camels have been instrumental in the restoration process, with approximately 3,500 young Joshua trees planted to date. They have been instrumental in transporting water and seedlings during the lengthy treks across the desert reserve.
Upon completion of this phase of work, the Park Service intends to concentrate on another area ravaged by the wildfire. The camels will stand ready to provide their services wherever they are required in the ongoing efforts to restore the Mojave National Preserve.
4.What happened to the Mojave National Preserve in 2020? ______
A. Joshua trees in this area went extinct.
B. Lightning caused damage to its camels.
C. A wildfire swept across the whole reserve.
D. Its desert trees encountered a natural disaster.
5.What do the underlined words "the role" in paragraph 2 refer to? ______
A. Spreading the seeds. B. Restoring the trees.
C. Helping giant sloths. D. Working for a reserve.
6.Why did the volunteer team's first attempt turn out ineffective? ______
A. Hiking was legally forbidden in the wilderness.
B. They had trouble traveling to the Cima Dome area.
C. Few people in the team were willing to plant seedlings.
D. The trees couldn't survive the effects of climate change.
7.What can we learn from the text? ______
A. The idea of using camels was initially adopted easily.
B. The Park Service is satisfied with the camels' work.
C. Nance Fite is responsible for raising the three camels.
D. The restoration project has been followed in many areas.
C
Researchers have unearthed a novel role for a prevalent brain protein, RPT6, a breakthrough that casts fresh light on the enigmas of cognition and presents potential avenues for addressing memory impairment and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Traditionally, RPT6 has been acknowledged for its role in the brain's hippocampus, part of a larger protein assembly known as the proteasome, tasked with the degradation of other proteins to maintain cellular health.
However, a recent observation by scholars in the School of Animal Sciences at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has unveiled an additional, unanticipated capability of this protein. "We have discovered that RPT6 can perform an entirely distinct function, wherein it can bind with DNA and amplify the expression of other genes or proteins during the process of memory formation," stated Tim Jarome, an associate professor of neurobiology. This insight suggests that RPT6 has a dual role in the formation of memories, functioning both within and outside the proteasome complex.
The regulation of gene expression is a pivotal factor in the formation of memories, aiding in the development of the neural networks essential for the creation and consolidation of memories. The findings, detailed in the Journal of Neuroscience, pave the way for new investigative paths into the role of RPT6 within the brain and the potential modulation of its activity to enhance memory function and mitigate the impact of memory-related disorders such as PTSD.
While researchers are yet to fully comprehend the reason behind RPT6's dual functionality or the mechanisms by which it modulates the cells involved in memory formation, they postulate that additional factors must collaborate with RPT6 to govern gene expression. "There must be other elements cooperating with it to regulate gene expression," Jarome remarked, adding that the team is currently striving to elucidate the underlying processes.
The discovery is anticipated to contribute significantly to the ongoing research within Jarome's laboratory, which is dedicated to the comprehension and treatment of memory disorders. "The unveiling of RPT6's novel functionality propels us towards uncharted territories in understanding the brain's intricacies and the mechanisms of learning and memory storage," commented research scientist Kayla Farrell. "We are optimistic that this will shed new light on how gene expression is regulated during memory formation, and over time, could facilitate the development of therapeutic interventions aimed at memory control and enhancement."
8.What does Tim Jarome say about RPT6 in paragraph 3? ______
A. It is a new kind of protein. B. It has little to do with DNA.
C. It can feed most of the cells. D. It affects memory formation.
9.What is still unclear to researchers? ______
A. What contributes to RPT6's dual function.
B. The role of gene expression in memory formation.
C. The discovery of RPT6's dual function in the brain.
D. Whether RPT6 can increase the expression of other genes.
10.What message does Kayla Farrell mainly want to convey? ______
A. The brain is not complex to explore.
B. The finding is of great significance.
C. The new treatment of memory loss works.
D. The problem of storing memory is serious.
11.Where does the text most probably appear? ______
A. In a lab report. B. In a chemistry textbook.
C. In a health magazine. D. In a first aid brochure.
D
BookTok, an online community that thrives on the passion of readers who recommend, review, and theorize about literature, has become a significant force in the book world. When Rebecca Yarros' "Fourth Wing" was released, it was embraced by BookTok with enthusiasm, generating a buzz that blended romance with fantasy elements. The novel's publication in May was quickly followed by its sequel just six months later, sparking discussions about the pace of publishing and its potential impact on literary quality.
The sequel's release was not without its controversies. Yarros and her publisher, Red Tower Books, faced considerable backlash over grammatical errors in the text. Critics contended that these issues could have been prevented with proper proofreading, leading to questions about the rush to publish and the possible compromise of quality control.
BookTok's influence played a role in the rapid success of "Fourth Wing," helping it soar to the top of the New York Times Best Sellers list within its first week, despite the criticisms. The community's growing readership has encouraged both publishers and authors to capitalize on the momentum of hype, sometimes at the expense of the writing process. This dynamic likely contributed to the expansion of Yarros' series from three to five books.
The situation invites a comparison to the concept of "fast fashion," a term used to describe the quick turnaround in clothing manufacturing from design to retail, aimed at capturing current trends. Fast fashion items are often characterized by affordability and lower quality, intended for swift sale. Applying a similar model to book publishing, especially with the influence of platforms like BookTok, could result in a decline in book quality if the writing and editing processes are not given adequate time to reach their full potential.
It's important to note that the critique is not aimed at books like "Fourth Wing" simply because they are popular. Rather, the concern lies with the publishing practices that may sacrifice the depth and quality of the work for the sake of meeting market demand. The worry is not for independent authors who meticulously manage their writing, editing, and publishing processes, but for those who might neglect the intricacies and importance of the writing journey.
In essence, the conversation reflects a broader debate about the balance between commercial viability and artistic integrity in the publishing industry, and the role of social media in shaping literary trends and reader expectations.
12.Why does the author raise questions in the text? ______
A. To doubt readers' judgment. B. To keep the text developing.
C. To highlight BookTok's advantages. D. To provide background information.
13.What was the situation of Fourth Wing after its release? ______
A. It enjoyed popularity. B. It faced little criticism.
C. It was publicly rejected. D. It didn't sell well in stores.
14.Which of the following shows the author's opinion? ______
A. Book quality is vital in the publishing industry.
B. Books like Fourth Wing are not good ones.
C. Authors should avoid doing too many duties.
D. BookTok shouldn't be to blame for fast fashion.
15.What is the best title for the text? ______
A. BookTok Is Misleading Consumers in Reading.
B. Are Those Books Posted Online Worth Reading?
C. Fast Fashion Emerges in the Publishing Industry.
D. Can the Publishing Industry Adapt to Challenges?

47.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。
It sounds like you're working on a story or a personal anecdote about preparing for a holiday card photo. The situation you've described is quite common and relatable, especially during the holiday season when many people try to make everything perfect for their cards. Here's a possible continuation of your story, filling in some details and bringing it to a conclusion:
The clock was ticking, and the pressure was mounting. My husband, with his calm demeanor and steady hands, took over the situation. He had a knack for these things, and I had to admit, I was out of options.
As I sipped my tea downstairs, I could hear the soft sounds of reassuring words and the gentle snips of the scissors. My older son, always the helpful one, was by his side, ready to assist in any way he could.
When they finally called me upstairs, I was met with a sight that made my heart swell. My younger son's hair was no longer a disaster; it was now neatly trimmed, and he looked absolutely adorable. My husband had worked his magic, and my older son had managed to keep our little one entertained and calm throughout the process.
The next morning, the photographer arrived, and the whole family was ready. We were all in our new white polo shirts, and my younger son's hair looked better than ever. The photographer captured our smiles and laughter, and for a moment, we were all just happy to be together.
The holiday cards turned out better than I could have imagined. The picture was perfect—not because of the matching shirts or the professional haircut, but because it truly captured our family's spirit. We sent them out, a little later than I had initially planned, but they were filled with love and the joy of our real, imperfectly perfect family.
In the end, I learned a valuable lesson: sometimes, letting go of the need for perfection and embracing the help of loved ones can lead to the most beautiful results. Our holiday cards were a testament to that, and they were cherished by our friends and family.
Remember, this is just a creative continuation based on the details you've provided. If you have a specific direction you'd like the story to go or if you need help with a particular part of the narrative, feel free to let me know!
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。

When I saw the three of them were happy with the same buzz cut (寸头) made by my husband,my tears were replaced with smiles and I made a decision.________
