B (2024·湖南高三六校联考)Deepak Chopra is an American author who was born in India in 1946.He is a well­known and respected advocate of alternative approaches to medicine.He has written some 80 books and produced several videos that promote his philosophy of life. After a career in conventional medicine，he became influenced by Mahesh Yogi and adopted an approach to medicine based on spirituality and consciousness.Essentially，he views the human body as a whole unit，and by treating the whole，a person can achieve “perfect health”.He describes this state as being free from pain，disease，and the aging process. For Chopra，the mental state of a person affects every other part of his body，including his spirit.From this，all aspects of a person's life are influenced，including his social life，working life，relationships，and even the environment around him. Part of the treatments that Chopra encourages is meditation，which aims to calm the mental state of the patient.He also believes that the power of the mind can be used to correct imbalances in the body.He suggests that serious illnesses can be cured or positively affected by the power of the mind. Chopra's philosophy of life goes beyond just medical matters.Many of his sayings can be applied to everyday life and the pursuit (追求) of happiness.He believes that to achieve happiness—which for him is the ultimate measure of success—requires positive choices to be made，and that only when we are in the right mental state can we do that. For him，part of the journey towards ultimate happiness is the ability to reflect and meditate.In other words，we all should adopt a philosophical approach to life and thus free our imaginations，creativity，and the ability to act with free will. The promotion of self­awareness is also an aspect of Chopra's philosophy.Self­awareness comes from the ability to make choices，and there are choices to be made throughout one's life，and those choices often require both dynamic action and meditative relaxation.Through self­awareness，we can know that we can make those choices from an informed position. 4.What's Chopra's concept of “perfect health”？ A.A body that can stand daily activities. B.A perfect function of a person's mind. C.A good condition of a part of the body. D.Well­being for the whole body and mind. 5.What can we know about Chopra's view about the power of the mind？ A.It is of little help to our physical health. B.It has the same effect as daily exercise. C.It greatly influences the cure of illnesses. D.It might lead to imbalances in the body. 6.Which of the following can best suit Chopra's view about happiness？ A.It is the base of one's success in his field. B.Only in proper mental state can we get it. C.It can be gained through our efforts in wealth. D.It is the ability to forget the past and give up. 7.Which of the following can best describe the author's attitude to Chopra's theory？ A.Objective.　 B.Supportive. C.Subjective. D.Oppositive. C ( 2024·连云港市高中毕业班质量检测)More than 5，000 species of birds manage annual round­trip migrations(迁徙).These journeys can be thousands of miles，with many birds often returning to the exact same nesting and wintering place from year to year. Migration is very important in the life cycle of birds，and without this annual journey many birds would not be able to raise their young.Birds migrate to find the richest and most abundant food that will provide adequate energy to raise young birds.If no birds migrated，competition for adequate food during breeding(繁殖)seasons would be fierce and many birds would starve. Of course，not all birds migrate.Some birds can take advantage of different food sources(来源)as seasons change，allowing them to stay in one place all year round.Other birds are better adapted to cold climates with thicker fat reserves and better feathers，and they can survive long cold seasons while they forage for winter food.For more than half the world's birds，however，migration is necessary to stay alive. When the timing is right for their migrating needs，birds will begin their journey.Food，weather，temperature and illness or injury are several minor aspects that may affect migration by a day or two，but most bird species follow precise migration “schedule”.While migration is at its finest during spring and fall，birds migrate all throughout the year.Migration is actually an ongoing process and there are always birds at some stage of their journeys.The distance the birds must fly，the length of time it takes to mate and the amount of young birds all affect when any one species is migrating. Migratory birds have several changes before the journey.Among them is hyperphagia，the process of migration­related weight gain.As daylight changes and migration times near，a bird's hormone levels will change and they will build a greater fat supply.Besides，old，ragged feathers create more wind drag and air resistance，which requires a bird to use more energy in flight，so many birds replace old feathers with new ones. 8.Without migration，many birds would________. A.stop reproducing during breeding seasons B.abandon young birds for lack of food C.be unable to find places for nesting D.be in danger of starvation 9.What does the underlined phrase “forage for” mean in Paragraph 3？ A.Run out of. B.Cut down on. C.Search for. D.Wait for. 10.What can we learn about birds' migration？ A.Most birds begin their journey at the arrival of spring. B.Warm temperature usually advances it by a day or two. C.There is almost little migration of birds in winter. D.Birds' migration is affected by various aspects. 11.How will migratory birds benefit from the process of hyperphagia？ A.They will tend to use less energy in flight. B.They will store enough energy for travelling. C.They will replace old feathers with new ones. D.They will better sense the changes of daylight. D (2024·辽宁省东北育才学校模拟)Recordings (录音) of angry bees are enough to send big，tough African elephants running away，a new study says.Beehives (蜂箱) either recorded or real may even prevent elephants from damaging farmers' crops. Years ago，scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them.Today，Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might stop elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmers to set up beehives on their farms，she needed to find out if the bees would frighten elephants away. Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder.Then she threw a stone into the beehive，which burst into life.Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees calmed down.Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family. From a distance，Lucy turned on the pre­recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera.Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds.Out of a total of 17 groups，only one group didn't react to the sound of the angry bees.Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them.When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families，the animals were undisturbed.Even after four minutes，most of the groups stayed in one place. Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times.She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know and she has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away. 12.Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive？ A.To record the sound of angry bees. B.To make a video of elephants. C.To see if elephants would run away.
