Bathing in the River Cam makes Cambridge unique. C. Jesus Green is a private park charging entry fees. D. The Polar Museum holds dinosaur exhibitions. 2. Which place is attractive to Harry Potter fans? A. Edinburgh Castle. B. Arthur’s Seat. C. The Camera Obscura. D. The Potter Trail. 3. What do Crawley and Reading have in common? A They are home to ten native species. B. They hold year-round sports activities. C. They offer opportunities to learn about animals. D. They are known for high temperatures in summer. B Everyday activities often ignore the needs of people with disabilities, which led to Nicola Swann mugs (马克杯) becoming a symbol of kindness. One day, Nicola Swann, a British potter, was asked by her friend to do something exceptional. This friend’s husband had problems using regular mugs because of a condition that affected his arms and hands. This is where Swann discovered a widespread issue — disabled individuals feeling uncomfortable using cups. Due to a desire to help, Swann came up with an answer. She made the first type of her disability-friendly mugs for her friend’s husband. The mug, with two handles (把手), is balanced and also stylish in its design. That was the start of what is now called “Digni-TEA” mugs from her Made with Mud business. Without fail, Swann was determined to make mugs that looked like everyday drinking cups. She recognized that accessibility should not come at the cost of style. Everyone’s experience with a disability is unique. So she made many different styles for everyone to use, from double handles to weighted bottoms. Swann’s decision to call her products “Digni-TEA” is more than just a choice of name. Her goal is to give people back their dignity (尊严) so they can drink from a regular mug without worrying about medical help. Swann’s mugs, shared on social media, gained widespread attention with millions of views. People appreciated their simplicity and usefulness, which they felt matched everyday dignity. A comment says, “As a professional doctor, I love this! They are important to my patients. Great work!” “I have terrible rheumatoid arthritis (类风湿性关节炎), and these seem so useful. The double handles are wonderful,” says another comment. 4. What inspired Swann to make disability-friendly mugs? A. Her childhood hobby. B. Her poor living condition. C. Her desire for being famous. D. Her friend’s call for assistance. 5. Why did Swann create a range of designs of mugs? A. To make her mugs unique. B. To meet diverse needs. C. To show her special skills. D. To increase product sales. 6. Which of the following best describes Swann? A. Caring and creative. B. Serious and impolite. C. Brave and energetic. D. Honest and responsible. C It’s easy not to think much about the intelligence of insects. Small creatures with even smaller brains — how smart can they be? But as researchers begin to rethink how animals think, even insects are being seen in a new light. Now a new study from the University or Bristol finds that Heliconius butterflies (蝴蝶) have the ability to learn about space. To test the butterflies’ spatial learning abilities, the researchers set up experiments across three different spatial levels, each reflecting behaviors significant to their natural environment. First, they checked if the butterflies could find food among 16 flowers in a small area. Next, they enlarged the space, seeing if the butterflies could choose the correct side of a larger maze (迷宫) for food. Finally, they used a big outdoor cage to see if the butterflies could find their way through a wide T-maze for food. The butterflies succeeded in all tests. The study’s senior author, Dr. Stephen Montgomery, notes that these findings show the difficult behaviors that even familiar animals like butterflies exhibit as part of their natural ecology (生态). These species are processing diverse information from their environment and utilizing it to perform difficult tasks — all with brains just a few millimeters wide. The researchers plan to further investigate Heliconius butterflies’ spatial learning abilities by comparing them to closely related species that do not feed on pollen (花粉). This will help show how an animal's environment can affect the development of its thinking skills. Co-lead author Dr. Priscila Moura stresses the significance of these findings, saying that they provide actual evidence of the butterflies’ fascinating spatial learning abilities, a subject that has been discussed for nearly a century. With the new understanding, the researchers can continue to explore insect intelligence and behavior. 7. What did the University of Bristol’s study find about Hehicomius butterflies? A. They are capable of spatial learning. B. They require assistance in finding food. C. They can fly long distances without rest. D. They have a social circle like other insects. 8 What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A. The research benefits. B. The research process. C. The research papers. D. The research team. 9. What does the underlined word “utilizing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Checking. B. Seeking. C. Judging. D. Using. 10. What is Dr. Priscila Moura’s attitude toward the findings? A. Doubtful. B. Puzzled. C. Supportive. D. Unclear. 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。 City gardens are unique spots in busy cities.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一项关于蝴蝶空间学习能力的研究。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Now a new study from the University or Bristol finds that Heliconius butterflies (蝴蝶) have the ability to learn about space.(现在，布里斯托尔大学的一项新研究发现，Heliconius蝴蝶具有学习空间的能力。)”可知，研究发现蝴蝶具有空间学习能力。故选A项。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第二段中“First, they checked if the butterflies could find food among16 flowers in a small area. Next, they enlarged the space, seeing if the butterflies could choose the correct side of a larger maze (迷宫) for food. Finally, they used a big outdoor cage to see if the butterflies could find their way through a wide T-maze for food. The butterflies succeeded in all tests.(首先，他们检查蝴蝶是否能在小区域内的16朵花中找到食物。接下来，他们扩大了空间，看看蝴蝶是否能在更大的迷宫中选择正确的一侧作为食物。最后，他们用一个大的户外笼子，看看蝴蝶是否能穿过一个宽阔的T形迷宫寻找食物。蝴蝶在所有测试中都成功了。)”以及本段上文可知，文章第二段主要介绍了研究人员如何设置实验来测试蝴蝶的空间学习能力，故本段主要聚焦研究过程。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中“These species are processing diverse information from their environment and utilizing it to perform difficult tasks—all with brains just a few millimeters wide.(这些物种正在处理来自环境的各种信息，并 这些信息执行艰巨的任务——所有这些任务只用只有几毫米宽大脑完成。)”可知，这些物种处理来自环境的多样化信息，接下来应该是“利用”多样化信息来执行困难的任务。所以猜测utilizing表“利用”的意思。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Co-lead author Dr. Priscila Moura stresses the significance of these findings, saying that they provide actual evidence of the butterflies’ fascinating spatial learning abilities, a subject that has been discussed for nearly a century. With the new understanding, the researchers can continue to explore insect intelligence and behavior.(共同主要作者Priscila Moura博士强调了这些发现的重要性，称它们为蝴蝶迷人的空间学习能力提供了实际证据，这一主题已经讨论了近一个世纪。有了新的认识，研究人员可以继续探索昆虫的智力和行为。)”可知，Dr.PriscilaMoura强调了这些发现的重要性，这表明Dr.PriscilaMoura对这些发现持支持态度。故选C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。 City gardens are unique spots in busy cities.
