A
When you’re travelling to a new place, often one of the main things you’re looking for is a really brilliant museum or gallery. Here are some museums worth visiting.
Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum, Xi’an
Can you imagine how unbelievable it must have felt to uncover the terracotta warriors for the first time? No, of course you can’t, but we’re guessing it must have felt pretty good. The people who found it were farmers in Xi’an in 1974. Gathered around the tomb of China’s first emperor, the 8,000 warriors and their horses are a grand sight.
State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg
It is said that if you look at every object in the State Hermitage Museum for one minute each, it would take 11 years to see everything. That’s quite for sure. But it’s certainly that you just hang around its galleries for a day or two. Highlights include an over 200-year-old clock decorated with mechanical golden peacocks, but make sure to take plenty of pictures of the building’s outer wall too(It looks best on fresh winter mornings).
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
With its 40 Rembrandts(Dutch painter) and four Vermeers (Dutch painter), the Rijksmuseum is unmissable if you’re partial to a sullen (沉闷的) seventeenth-century scene. The museum in fact houses more than a million works of art, and by no means are these limited to just paintings. If you’re visiting with kids, hunt down the dollhouse collections and review Dutch life in miniature—right down to the tiny plates set for dinner.
Tate Modern, London
The Tate has four galleries in the UK: Tate Liverpool, Tate St Ives, Tate Britain, and Tate Modern. It’s the latter that’s really world-class, though. Housed in a former power station on London’s Bankside, the cavernous (像洞穴的) galleries house a vast lasting collection and amazing exhibitions that pull in the crowds.
1. What is special about the first museum?
A. It is the largest of the four.
B. It was built based on a tomb.
C. It offers an exploration experience.
D. It was found by non-professionals.
2. What does the writer mean by mentioning 11 years in paragraph 3?
A. The museum has a long history.
B. The museum covers a large area.
C. The museum has a large collection.
D. The museum has quantities of visitors.
3. Which of the following provides special attractions for kids?
A. Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum.
B. State Hermitage Museum.
C. Rijksmuseum.
D. Tate Modern.
B
The vast majority of Spain’s trains will be free until the end of the year in a new program. People visiting the West European country can now whizz (飞速行驶) across it in the relative luxury of one of its trains for zero cost. As well as being much better for the environment than air travel, sitting on a train and watching the countryside slip by is the perfect way to get to know a country.
Under Spain’s new program, all short and medium train rides are free — with the right ticket — providing the perfect opportunity to see Catalonia, Andalucia and the Basque Country. Tourists can take advantage of the discounts, which have been brought in to help the population deal with the cost of living crisis, if they buy multi-journey tickets. “I’d like the people of Spain to know that I’m fully aware of the daily difficulties that most people have,” a senior official said. “I know salaries cover less and less and that it’s difficult to get to the end of the month.” The country’s Ministry of Transport said the measure would help people get to work safely as fuel prices continue to rise sharply.
Spain joins Germany in cutting the price of public transport, with the latter country launching a ticket costing €9 which gives a full month of travel from June until the end of August. Austria has started offering a climate ticket, which allows people to complete journeys for just €3. When it was first launched last year, the popularity of the ticket almost caused its website to crash. The UK government has not announced any plans to encourage the use of trains, despite the seriousness of the climate crisis and the damage petrol and diesel cars cause. Instead, the government cut fuel duty by 5% in March for 12 months, encouraging more people to get behind the wheel.
4 What can be inferred about the program?
A. It is of benefit to the environment.
B. People still have doubt about it.
C. The trains in Spain are completely free now.
D. Spain is the only country in Europe to cut transport costs.
5. What is the main purpose of introducing the program?
A. To lower fuel prices. B. To relieve the stress of airline business.
C. To promote tourism and benefit people of Spain. D. To show the government’s concern for the public.
6. What does the author think of the UK government’s practice?
A Negative. B. Admiring. C. Inattentive. D. Praiseworthy.
7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The popularity of the climate ticket.
B. The economic benefits of the program.
C. The program’s great benefits to health.
D. The practices on public transport in some countries.
C
After age and genetics (传性), being a woman is the single most important risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s disease(阿尔茨海默病),experts say, “Two out of every three brains affected by Alzheimer’s disease are women's brains," said Dr, Richard Isaacson,director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic in the Center for Brain Health at Florida Atlantic
University’s Schmidt College of Medicine.Now, a new study has good news when it comes to giving women a chance to reduce their increased risk, Personalized lifestyle interventions (干预)-such as diet, exercise, stress reduction and sleep hygiene were able to reduce Alzheimer’s risk factors in both sexes, but they worked even better in women.
“Our individually tailored interventions led to greater improvements in women compared to men across risk scales for Alzheimer's and cardiovascular(心血管的) disease,” said Isaacson, who coauthored the paper.
“Lifestyle changes such as increased exercise, improved sleep and diet, and reduced stress can impact brain health. This study clearly stresses the need for additional larger studies to be able to better predict the baseline cognitive trail in aging females versus males,” said Rudolph Tanzi, a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School,
“ As we aim to find ways to block out this disease in the early stage, we will need to know if prevention and treatment strategies will work equally on both men and women. This new study clearly brings us a big step closer to that goal, ” Tanzi added.
Finding that women were able to reduce their risk even more than men is welcome news,as it provides a promising area for future study and gives hope that women can tip the battle against Alzheimer's in their favor. “By treating people in an evidence based yet safe way,using various lifestyles and medical interventions, we've shown that you can really make an impact on brain health,” he said.
8. What can we know from paragraph 1?
A. Age and genetics have no impact on Alzheimer’s.
B. Alzheimer’s has nothing to do with sex difference.
C. Women are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s than men.
D. Being a woman decreases the chance of developing Alzheimer’s.
9. What is Isaacson’s attitude towards the new research?
A. Indifferent. B. Opposed. C. Ignorant. D. Positive.
10. What can affect brain health according to Tanzi?
A. Lifestyle changes. B. Higher education.
C. living environment D. Personal experience.
11. Where is the text likely from?
A. A novel. B. A magazine. C. A brochure. D. A travel guide.
D
A new study finds that bird species with extreme or uncommon combinations of traits (特征) face the highest risk of extinction, The study led by researchers at Imperial College London finds that the most unique birds on the planet are also the most threatened. Losing these species and the unique roles they play in the environment, such as seed spread, pollination and predation, could have negative impacts on the functioning of ecosystems.
The study analyzed the extinction risk and physical traits, such as beak shape and wing length, of 99% of all living bird species, making it the most general study of its kind to date.The researchers found that in simulated scenarios (模拟场景) in which all threatened and near-threatened bird species became extinct, there would be a significantly greater reduction in the physical diversity among birds than in scenarios where extinctions were random (随机的).
Jarome Ali, a PhD candidate at Princeton University who completed the research at Imperial College London, said, “Our study shows that extinctions will most likely prune a large percentage of unique species from the bird family tree. Losing these unique species will mean a loss of the specialized roles that they play in ecosystems. If we do not take action to protect threatened species and prevent extinctions, the functioning of ecosystems will be thrown into disorder.”
In the study, the authors used a dataset of measurements collected from living birds and museum specimens, totalling 9,943 bird species. Although the dataset used in the study was able to show that the most unique birds were also classified as threatened on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, it was unable to show what links uniqueness in birds to extinction risk.
Jarome Ali said, “One possibility is that highly specialized organisms are less able to adapt to a changing environment, in which case human impacts may directly threaten species with the most unusual ecological roles. More research is needed to dive deeper into the connection between unique traits and extinction risk.”
12. According to researchers, what may the loss of unique birds lead to?
A. The reduction of certain research.
B. The damage to ecosystem function,
C The development of ecological tourism.
D. The better living environment of human race.
13. What may the underlined word “prune” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Cut out. B. Pick up. C. Get in. D. Add to.
14. What do researchers need to explore in the future?
A. Human’s impacts on unique birds.
B The parts unique traits play in birds’ life.
C. Links of uniqueness in birds to extinction risk.
D. The approaches to preventing birds’ extinction.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Some birds with special physical traits
B. Key roles unique birds play in ecosystems
C. Measures to protect threatened unique birds
D. More unique birds at higher risk of extinction

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了西班牙推出的一项新政策,即年内大部分火车乘坐将免费,旨在为民众提供应对生活成本危机的帮助,同时也有助于环保和减少通勤成本。文章还提及了德国和奥地利在公共交通票价上的类似减免措施,并指出英国政府尚未推出鼓励使用火车的计划。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The vast majority of Spain’s trains will be free until the end of the year in a new program.(根据一项新计划,到今年年底,西班牙绝大多数火车都将免费)”和“As well as being much better for the environment than air travel, sitting on a train and watching the countryside slip by is the perfect way to get to know a country.(乘火车比乘飞机旅行对环境更有好处,坐在火车上,看着乡村的景色掠过,是了解一个国家的最佳方式)”可推知 ,这个计划对环境是有好处的。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Under Spain’s new program, all short and medium train rides are free — with the right ticket — providing the perfect opportunity to see Catalonia, Andalucia and the Basque Country. Tourists can take advantage of the discounts, which have been brought in to help the population deal with the cost of living crisis, if they buy multi-journey tickets.(根据西班牙的新计划,所有的中短途火车都是免费的——只要你买对了票——这为你提供了游览加泰罗尼亚、安达卢西亚和巴斯克地区的绝佳机会。如果购买多次旅行的车票,游客可以利用折扣,这些折扣是为了帮助人们应对生活成本危机而推出的)”可知,该计划可以促进旅游业发展;根据段中““I’d like the people of Spain to know that I’m fully aware of the daily difficulties that most people have,” a senior official said. “I know salaries cover less and less and that it’s difficult to get to the end of the month.” The country’s Ministry of Transport said the measure would help people get to work safely as fuel prices continue to rise sharply.(一位高级官员表示:“我希望西班牙人民知道,我完全了解大多数人每天面临的困难。我知道工资越来越少,而且很难撑到月底。”该国交通运输部表示,在燃油价格持续大幅上涨的情况下,这项措施将帮助人们安全上班)”可知,该计划还可以让西班牙普通民众受益。由此推知,这一计划的目的是促进旅游业发展,造福西班牙人民。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The UK government has not announced any plans to encourage the use of trains, despite the seriousness of the climate crisis and the damage petrol and diesel cars cause. Instead, the government cut fuel duty by 5% in March for 12 months, encouraging more people to get behind the wheel.(尽管气候危机的严重性以及汽油和柴油汽车造成的损害,但英国政府尚未宣布任何鼓励使用火车的计划。相反,政府在3月份将燃油税下调了5%,为期12个月,鼓励更多的人开车)”可知,作者认为英国政府未能像西班牙、德国和奥地利一样降低公共交通价格,而且英国政府鼓励更多的人开车也与应对气候危机背道而驰。由此推知,作者对英国政府的做法持否定态度。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。最后一段“Spain joins Germany in cutting the price of public transport, with the latter country launching a ticket costing €9 which gives a full month of travel from June until the end of August. Austria has started offering a climate ticket, which allows people to complete journeys for just €3. When it was first launched last year, the popularity of the ticket almost caused its website to crash. The UK government has not announced any plans to encourage the use of trains, despite the seriousness of the climate crisis and the damage petrol and diesel cars cause. Instead, the government cut fuel duty by 5% in March for 12 months, encouraging more people to get behind the wheel.(西班牙加入了德国的行列,开始降低公共交通价格,德国推出了一张9欧元的车票,从6月到8月底可以坐一个月的车。奥地利已经开始提供气候票,人们只需花3欧元就能完成旅程。去年该彩票首次推出时,其受欢迎程度几乎导致其网站崩溃。尽管气候危机严重,汽油和柴油汽车造成的破坏也很严重,但英国政府尚未宣布任何鼓励使用火车的计划。相反,政府在3月份将燃油税下调了5%,为期12个月,鼓励更多的人开车)”可知,本段主要介绍了其他国家在公共交通方面的做法,如德国降低了公共交通的价格,奥地利开始提供气候票,而英国政府却没有宣布任何鼓励使用火车的计划。由此可知,最后一段主要介绍了一些国家在公共交通方面的做法。故选D项。

After age and genetics (传性), being a woman is the single most important risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s disease(阿尔茨海默病),experts say, “Two out of every three brains affected by Alzheimer’s disease are women's brains," said Dr, Richard Isaacson,director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic in the Center for Brain Health at Florida Atlantic
University’s Schmidt College of Medicine.Now, a new study has good news when it comes to giving women a chance to reduce their increased risk, Personalized lifestyle interventions (干预)-such as diet, exercise, stress reduction and sleep hygiene were able to reduce Alzheimer’s risk factors in both sexes, but they worked even better in women.
“Our individually tailored interventions led to greater improvements in women compared to men across risk scales for Alzheimer's and cardiovascular(心血管的) disease,” said Isaacson, who coauthored the paper.
“Lifestyle changes such as increased exercise, improved sleep and diet, and reduced stress can impact brain health. This study clearly stresses the need for additional larger studies to be able to better predict the baseline cognitive trail in aging females versus males,” said Rudolph Tanzi, a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School,
“ As we aim to find ways to block out this disease in the early stage, we will need to know if prevention and treatment strategies will work equally on both men and women. This new study clearly brings us a big step closer to that goal, ” Tanzi added.
Finding that women were able to reduce their risk even more than men is welcome news,as it provides a promising area for future study and gives hope that women can tip the battle against Alzheimer's in their favor. “By treating people in an evidence based yet safe way,using various lifestyles and medical interventions, we've shown that you can really make an impact on brain health,” he said.
8. What can we know from paragraph 1?
A. Age and genetics have no impact on Alzheimer’s.
B. Alzheimer’s has nothing to do with sex difference.
C. Women are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s than men.
D Being a woman decreases the chance of developing Alzheimer’s.
9. What is Isaacson’s attitude towards the new research?
A. Indifferent. B. Opposed. C. Ignorant. D. Positive.
10. What can affect brain health according to Tanzi?

A new study finds that bird species with extreme or uncommon combinations of traits (特征) face the highest risk of extinction, The study led by researchers at Imperial College London finds that the most unique birds on the planet are also the most threatened. Losing these species and the unique roles they play in the environment, such as seed spread, pollination and predation, could have negative impacts on the functioning of ecosystems.
The study analyzed the extinction risk and physical traits, such as beak shape and wing length, of 99% of all living bird species, making it the most general study of its kind to date.The researchers found that in simulated scenarios (模拟场景) in which all threatened and near-threatened bird species became extinct, there would be a significantly greater reduction in the physical diversity among birds than in scenarios where extinctions were random (随机的).
Jarome Ali, a PhD candidate at Princeton University who completed the research at Imperial College London, said, “Our study shows that extinctions will most likely prune a large percentage of unique species from the bird family tree. Losing these unique species will mean a loss of the specialized roles that they play in ecosystems. If we do not take action to protect threatened species and prevent extinctions, the functioning of ecosystems will be thrown into disorder.”
In the study, the authors used a dataset of measurements collected from living birds and museum specimens, totalling 9,943 bird species. Although the dataset used in the study was able to show that the most unique birds were also classified as threatened on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, it was unable to show what links uniqueness in birds to extinction risk.
Jarome Ali said, “One possibility is that highly specialized organisms are less able to adapt to a changing environment, in which case human impacts may directly threaten species with the most unusual ecological roles. More research is needed to dive deeper into the connection between unique traits and extinction risk.”
12. According to researchers, what may the loss of unique birds lead to?
A. The reduction of certain research.
B. The damage to ecosystem function,
C. The development of ecological tourism.
D. The better living environment of human race.
13. What may the underlined word “prune” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Cut out. B. Pick up. C. Get in. D. Add to.
14. What do researchers need to explore in the future?
A. Human’s impacts on unique birds.
B. The parts unique traits play in birds’ life.
C. Links of uniqueness in birds to extinction risk.
D. The approaches to preventing birds’ extinction.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Some birds with special physical traits
B. Key roles unique birds play in ecosystems
C. Measures to protect threatened unique birds
D. More unique birds at higher risk of extinction
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。研究发现,拥有独特特征的鸟类面临更高的灭绝风险,其消失可能对生态系统功能造成严重影响,保护这些濒危物种至关重要,以维持生态平衡。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Losing these species and the unique roles they play in the environment, such as seed spread, pollination and predation, could have negative impacts on the functioning of ecosystems. (失去这些物种及其在环境中发挥的独特作用,如种子传播、授粉和捕食,可能会对生态系统的功能产生负面影响。)”可知,根据研究人员的说法,独特鸟类的消失可能会导致对生态系统功能的破坏。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段的“Jarome Ali, a PhD candidate at Princeton University who completed the research at Imperial College London, said, “Our study shows that extinctions will most likely prune a large percentage of unique species from the bird family tree. Losing these unique species will mean a loss of the specialized roles that they play in ecosystems. If we do not take action to protect threatened species and prevent extinctions, the functioning of ecosystems will be thrown into disorder.” (普林斯顿大学的博士候选人Jarome Ali在伦敦帝国理工学院完成了这项研究,他说:“我们的研究表明,灭绝很可能会从鸟类家谱中……很大比例的独特物种。失去这些独特的物种将意味着失去它们在生态系统中发挥的特殊作用。如果我们不采取行动保护濒危物种,防止物种灭绝,生态系统的功能将陷入混乱。”) ”可知,划线词与“Losing these unique species”同义,则意为“ 切掉,删掉,删除”,“cut out”可以解释划线词,即灭绝很可能会从鸟类家谱中去除很大比例的独特物种。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Jarome Ali said, “One possibility is that highly specialized organisms are less able to adapt to a changing environment, in which case human impacts may directly threaten species with the most unusual ecological roles. More research is needed to dive deeper into the connection between unique traits and extinction risk, ” (Jarome Ali说:“一种可能性是高度特化的生物适应不断变化的环境的能力较差,在这种情况下,人类的影响可能直接威胁到具有最不寻常生态作用的物种。需要更多的研究来深入研究独特特征和灭绝风险之间的联系。”)”可知,未来研究人员需要探索鸟类的独特性与灭绝风险的联系。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段的“A new study finds that bird species with extreme or uncommon combinations of traits face the highest risk of extinction, The study led by researchers at Imperial College London finds that the most unique birds on the planet are also the most threatened. Losing these species and the unique roles they play in the environment, such as seed spread, pollination and predation, could have negative impacts on the functioning of ecosystems. (一项新的研究发现,具有极端或罕见特征组合的鸟类面临着最高的灭绝风险。由伦敦帝国理工学院的研究人员领导的这项研究发现,地球上最独特的鸟类也是最受威胁的。失去这些物种及其在环境中发挥的独特作用,如种子传播、授粉和捕食,可能会对生态系统的功能产生负面影响。)”可知,研究发现,拥有独特特征的鸟类面临更高的灭绝风险,其消失可能对生态系统功能造成严重影响,保护这些濒危物种至关重要,以维持生态平衡,因此D项(更多独特的鸟类面临更高的灭绝风险)适合作为标题,故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文比较了中国的煎饼(jianbing)和法国的薄饼(crêpe),介绍了它们各自的特点、起源以及食用方式,突出了两者之间的一些共同之处,比如它们都具有薄而柔韧的质地,可以添加各种馅料,并且作为快速餐食很受欢迎。
【36题详解】
考查让步状语从句。句意:尽管它们来自截然不同的烹饪传统,中国的煎饼(jianbing)和法国的薄饼(crêpe)在它们薄且柔韧的质地、多种填充物以及作为快速餐食的受欢迎程度方面有许多相似之处。前后句意存在让步转折关系,应用although/though“虽然”引导让步状语从句,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Although/Though。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。本空填不可数名词popularity“受欢迎,流行”,与their thin and flexible texture和various fillings并列,作in terms of的宾语。故填popularity。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:通常被折叠或卷起来食用,这两种小吃可以在任何时候享用。本句谓语为examined,此处为非谓语动词,且both snacks与serve“提供”为被动关系,用过去分词,作状语。故填served。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。本空用介词at,at any time“在任何时候”为固定搭配。故填at。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:煎饼起源于中国北方,是一种流行的街头早餐小吃。本句系动词为is,此处为非谓语动词,且jianbing与originate“起源于”为主动关系,用现在分词,作状语,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Originating。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意:自它被创造以来,煎饼一直是许多人喜爱的小吃。根据句意和句中Since it was created可知,be这一动作开始于过去,持续到现在,句子应用现在完成时,又因主语jianbing是第三人称单数,所以助动词用has。故填has been。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它由一层薄薄的面饼组成,面饼是由小麦粉和绿豆粉制成的面糊制成,通常上面会加上辣酱和炸面团条,顶部还会放上一个新鲜打散的鸡蛋。本空引导限制性定语从句,先行词是a thin pancake,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which或that引导。故填which或that。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。此处泛指“一个新鲜打散的鸡蛋”,且freshly以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:它们通常是用小麦面粉、牛奶、鸡蛋和黄油制成的薄面糊做成的,口感细腻柔软。本空用副词typically“通常”,修饰动词made,作状语。故填typically。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:薄饼可以搭配各种各样的配料,如巧克力、奶酪、新鲜水果或鲜奶油。本空用形容词来various或varied“各种各样的”,修饰名词toppings,作前置定语。故填various或varied。
