Trees communicate. They migrate. They protect. They heal. This year for Arbor Day finds our favorite fiction, nonfiction books relating to trees.
The Overstory by Richard Powers 2018
The Overstory begins with the nine characters whose lives will come together as the fiction unfolds. Their stories set the stage for a tale about a few environmentalists who are determined to protect an old forest. Richard Powers pulls you into their lives and fills you with astonishing facts about trees.
Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard, 2021
Finding the Mother Tree describes Simard's research on cooperation and coexistence in the forest. “Trees in a forest are often linked to each other via an older tree called a ‘mother’ tree,” Simard said. “And the old trees would help the little seedlings survive at crucial times.”
Twelve Trees by Daniel Lewis, 2024
There are tens of thousands of tree species on Earth, but writer Daniel Lewis focused in on just a dozen in his book, Twelve Trees. Lewis believes trees and people have more in common than you might think. “These twelve trees reflect aspects of ourselves. We coexist with them, and thus have a responsibility to understand them better.”
The Tree Doctor by Marie Mutsuki Mockett, 2024
A woman helps tend her mother's garden, leading her to confirm what she already knows: Her life as a wife and mother has caused her to ignore herself, and she must prioritize saving herself even more urgently than caring for her mother's flowers.

Every year, Time magazine picks out what it calls “The 25 Best Inventions” of the year. Here, Teens has chosen some of the most interesting ones.
Ember Mug
It's hard to always keep coffee at the right temperature, especially in winter. It's too hot to drink at first, but before we know it, it gets too cold and loses all its taste. The perfect level of warmth for a cup of coffee only lasts for 37 seconds, which makes the Ember Mug a great invention. It keeps your coffee or tea at a certain temperature, anywhere between 45°C and 62℃,once you set it through a smartphone app.
Tasty One Top
TV cooking shows make cooking look so easy, but it's almost impossible to get the recipes to cook the same as how the professionals cook. However, the Tasty One Top DIY cooking companion is here to help. Developed by BuzzFeed, the cooker can be connected to a smartphone app, which has more than 1,700 recipes and videos. You choose a recipe and the app will let the cooker know what to do. For example, it'll tell you when to turn your steak or when to add certain ingredients.

Inside its “head”, there are various sensors and cameras, which allow it to recognize faces and speech.

Recently, more than 1,000 researchers and executives signed an open letter calling for a pause (暂停) in research on artificial intelligence. The letter warns that AI may threaten jobs, spread propaganda (宣传), and even lead to the “loss of control of our civilization”. Many of the signatories (签署者) are thoughtful and experienced AI practitioners. Their concerns should be taken seriously. On balance, though, their approach is likely to evolve into an opposition to progress.
Consider the broader worldview expressed in this document. It said, “Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and risks manageable.” This is a formula for complete stop, as no one can ever be so confident. The history of innovation is one of trial and error, risk and reward. One reason why the US leads the world in digital technology is that it did not constrain (约束) the industry with well-meaning but doubtful regulation. Slowing Al progress, moreover, carries risks all its own. Don't forget that this technology is likely to make the world richer, healthier, smarter and more productive for decades to come. By 2030, it might be contributing more than $15 trillion to the global economy. Advances in medicine, biology, climate science, education, manufacturing, transportation and much more are on the horizon. Any new rules must be balanced against the vast potential of these efforts.
Nor is AI research advancing into a void (空白领域). The industry already operates within legal parameters (范畴) in response to potential harms. Companies have ensured their products are safe. Trade associations are developing codes of conduct and ethical frameworks. Far from the“ out-of-control race”, the AI business is constrained by law and politics and consumer sentiment (情绪).
It's natural to worry about new technologies, but the wealth and abundance of American society is due in no small part to risks taken in the past, in a spirit of openness and optimism. The AI revolution deserves no less.
10. Why did the researchers and executives sign the open letter?
A. Because the research on AI had been paused.
B. Because AI had uncontrollably destroyed human civilization.
C. Because they were worried about the potential risks of AI.
D. Because they were more experienced than others in AI field.
11. Why is the US mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To support that innovation comes from taking risks.
B To stress that the US is very important in the digital field.
C. To draw attention to the benefits of well-meaning regulations.
D. To reveal those people's real purpose of signing the letter.
12. What can we infer from this passage?
A. Al technology consumes more money than it can earn.
B. Society will hugely benefit from AI technology in the future.
C. The AI industry is now developing without any restrictions.
D. The development of AI technology is just a solo effort.
13. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Regulations on AI are well-intended but doubtful.
B. The future of AI is filled with unmanageable risks.
C. AI safety concerns justify a temporary research pause.
D. A pause in AI would hold back progress in innovation.

Catherine was the coolest kid in her class. Wherever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.
Her desk mate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids' group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti(意大利面)”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her!
Catherine didn't really like it when the kids chanted“ Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular.
One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!
“What's the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking(啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”
“Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped(捧起) the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body.
Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Hey, guys, that's enough!” Catherine's voice was firm and loud.

推理判断题。根据第一段“Every year, Time magazine picks out what it calls “The 25 Best Inventions” of the year. Here, Teens has chosen some of the most interesting ones.(每年,《时代》杂志都会选出年度“25项最佳发明”。在这里,《青少年》选择了一些最有趣的)”结合文章主要介绍了三项发明。可推知,这篇文章的目的是介绍一些新发明。故选B。
Recently, more than 1,000 researchers and executives signed an open letter calling for a pause (暂停) in research on artificial intelligence. The letter warns that AI may threaten jobs, spread propaganda (宣传), and even lead to the “loss of control of our civilization”. Many of the signatories (签署者) are thoughtful and experienced AI practitioners. Their concerns should be taken seriously. On balance, though, their approach is likely to evolve into an opposition to progress.
Consider the broader worldview expressed in this document. It said, “Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and risks manageable.” This is a formula for complete stop, as no one can ever be so confident. The history of innovation is one of trial and error, risk and reward. One reason why the US leads the world in digital technology is that it did not constrain (约束) the industry with well-meaning but doubtful regulation. Slowing Al progress, moreover, carries risks all its own. Don't forget that this technology is likely to make the world richer, healthier, smarter and more productive for decades to come. By 2030, it might be contributing more than $15 trillion to the global economy. Advances in medicine, biology, climate science, education, manufacturing, transportation and much more are on the horizon. Any new rules must be balanced against the vast potential of these efforts.
Nor is AI research advancing into a void (空白领域). The industry already operates within legal parameters (范畴) in response to potential harms. Companies have ensured their products are safe. Trade associations are developing codes of conduct and ethical frameworks. Far from the“ out-of-control race”, the AI business is constrained by law and politics and consumer sentiment (情绪).
It's natural to worry about new technologies, but the wealth and abundance of American society is due in no small part to risks taken in the past, in a spirit of openness and optimism. The AI revolution deserves no less.
10. Why did the researchers and executives sign the open letter?
A. Because the research on AI had been paused.
B. Because AI had uncontrollably destroyed human civilization.
C. Because they were worried about the potential risks of AI.
D. Because they were more experienced than others in AI field.
11. Why is the US mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To support that innovation comes from taking risks.
B. To stress that the US is very important in the digital field.
C. To draw attention to the benefits of well-meaning regulations.
D. To reveal those people's real purpose of signing the letter.
12. What can we infer from this passage?
A. Al technology consumes more money than it can earn.
B. Society will hugely benefit from AI technology in the future.
C. The AI industry is now developing without any restrictions.
D. The development of AI technology is just a solo effort.
13. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Regulations on AI are well-intended but doubtful.
B The future of AI is filled with unmanageable risks.
C. AI safety concerns justify a temporary research pause.
D. A pause in AI would hold back progress in innovation.
【答案】10. C 11. A 12. B 13. D

The AI revolution deserves no less.”(担心新技术是很自然的,但美国社会的财富和丰富多彩在很大程度上要归功于过去冒险的精神,这种精神是开放和乐观的。人工智能革命也应该得到同样的待遇)可推知,未来社会将从AI技术中获得巨大的利益。故选B。

主旨大意题。根据第一段“Recently, more than 1,000 researchers and executives signed an open letter calling for a pause (暂停) in research on artificial intelligence.

【34题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:中国古城与文化研究所所长林鹏指出,我国有2800多个已开发或正在开发的古镇,这绝对是全球最多的。根据“pointed”和“that there are more than 2,800 developed or developing ancient towns in our country”可知,此处用固定短语point out,意为“指出”。故填out。
【35题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:中国古城与文化研究所所长林鹏指出,我国有2800多个已开发或正在开发的古镇,这绝对是全球最多的。空处引导非限制性定语从句,对先行词2,800作补充说明,先行词指物,在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which作引导词。故填which。

考查名词复数。句意:来到古镇的游客希望看到当地人民的生活状况,感受城镇生活的活力,品尝受地理和民俗影响的特色小吃,了解悠久的历史如何塑造了当地的文化。空处作see的宾语,空前没有表示单数概念的修饰语,可数名词condition应用复数形式。故填conditions。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:来到古镇的游客希望看到当地人民的生活状况,感受城镇生活的活力,品尝受地理和民俗影响的特色小吃,了解悠久的历史如何塑造了当地的文化。句子已有谓语,空处是非谓语动词,influence“影响”和snacks逻辑上是被动关系,应用influence的过去分词形式,作snacks的后置定语。故填influenced。

【41题详解】

【43题详解】
考查状语从句中的省略。句意:让每一个古镇都成为独特的历史印记,让游客在古镇中徜徉,找到属于自己的“诗与远方”。此处用了while引导时间状语从句,且从句的主语和主句的主语一致,从句中含有be动词,因此对主语和be动词同时进行了省略,wander“漫游,徜徉”和被省略的主语tourists之间是主动关系,应用wander的现在分词形式。故填wandering。

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Catherine was the coolest kid in her class. Wherever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.
Her desk mate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids' group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti(意大利面)”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her!
Catherine didn't really like it when the kids chanted“ Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular.
One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!
“What's the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking(啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”
“Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped(捧起) the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body.

【答案】Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. The image of the small, scared chicken in her arms overlapped with the image of Landy's face turning red with embarrassment every time the kids teased her. Catherine realized that Landy was just like this poor chicken, being pecked at for being different. Catherine decided she needed to do something about it. Back at school on Monday, when she heard the familiar chant of“ Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti,” she didn't stay silent. Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward and faced the chanting crowd.
“Hey, guys, that's enough!” Catherine's voice was firm and loud. “It's not funny to make fun of someone just because they're different. It hurts, and it's not fair.” The kids looked at each other, a bit embarrassed and unsure of what to do next. Catherine walked to ward Landy and invited her to lunch. Landy looked up, surprise and relief flooding her face. As they walked to lunch together, Catherine knew she had done the right thing. Slowly but surely, the other kids began to follow her example, realizing that being kind and inclusive was much cooler than being popular at the expense of others.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Catherine是班上最酷的孩子,无论她去哪里,她都是聚光灯下的人物,一群孩子跟着她,做她做的每一件事;而她的同桌——Landy作为班里最高的孩子,经常被同学们取笑。Catherine不太喜欢同学们嘲笑Landy,但她也从来没有叫他们停下来,也从来没有和她说话。直到有一天,Catherine在爷爷的农场看到一只被欺负的小鸡才对Landy有了愧疚之情,于是决定返校后Landy友好相处。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“突然,她想起了Landy,那个被同学“啄”的女孩。”可知,第一段可描写Catherine意识到自己之前对待Landy的态度不好,要用实际行动改变。
②由第二段首句内容““嘿,伙计们,够了!” Catherine的声音坚定而响亮。”可知,第二段可描写Catherine制止了其他人的不良行为并邀请Landy吃午饭,其它孩子也以Catherine榜样意识到善良和包容比牺牲他人来受欢迎要酷得多。
2.续写线索:想到被欺负的Landy——再次看到Landy被欺负——决定帮助Landy——其它孩子也以Catherine为榜样不在嘲笑Landy
