There’s an old African proverb that states, “When you leave your shoes at the doorstep, you leave your troubles behind.” A group of environmental chemists who study what kinds of contaminants people are exposed to in their own homes claim: wearing your outside shoes inside won’t just mess up your carpet; it is, in fact, scientifically wrong.
Shoes worn outside can be media for all kinds of dirt and microbes. According to the experts, about one-third of the matter building up inside your home comes from outside, much of it being tracked in on the soles of our shoes. But not all dirt is bad dirt. Some household germs can actually be useful in helping build up a child’s immune system, for example. But the real issue is that some of the disease-causing organisms found on our shoes and floors are drug-resistant, causing illnesses that are difficult to treat. “Cancer-causing toxins can be found on these shoes,” scientists say, “so it is best to leave your filth outside the door.”
Every day we carry much dirt with us on the soles of our shoes-mud. For many households, the pandemic has greatly reduced the number of places we go to. But even at that, all it takes is one walk down the street or a few minutes at the park to make you bring something nasty back home.
It’s important to note that not wearing shoes inside is more than just a hygiene thing. In many cultures around the world, leaving your shoes at the door is a sign of respect, a nod to superstition and it may even be in service of good health. Reflexologists (反射治疗师) say that walking around barefoot can help boost your circulation, improve your sleep quality and stimulate the reflexes on the soles of your feet, reducing inflammation, pain and tension.
4. What can we learn about dirt?
A. All the dirt in the house comes from dirty shoes.
B. The dirt can help build up a child’s immune system.
C. The dirt brought back by shoes is very harmful to adults.
D. About a third of the dirt produced in the home comes from the outside.
5. What’s the author’s attitude towards leaving shoes at the doorstep?
A. Supportive B. Critical C. Indifferent D. Neutral
6. There are many benefits of not wearing shoes indoors except ________.
A. showing respect B. stimulating reflection
C. avoiding messing up carpet D. reducing the amount of dirt
7. What’s the best title of the text?
A. Walking barefoot or not
B. Getting rid of your home dirt
C. Learning from African proverbs
D. Leaving shoes at the doorstep for health reasons

Sperm whales (抹香鲸) have the biggest brains of any animal on the planet at up to twenty pounds, as much as six times the size of an average human brain. They live in groups of about ten and sometimes meet up with hundreds or thousands of other whales. Sperm whales can grow up to eighteen meters long and dive to nearly 1, 000 meters to hunt for food. They sleep upright and in groups.
Like many whales and dolphins, sperm whales are highly social animals and communicate underwater by strings of rapid clicks, which are also used to help them locate and track their food.
In a study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers analyzed more than 8. 700 pieces of sperm whale clicks that they believe make up a “phonetic alphabet (音标)”, which the whales can use to build the very rough equivalent (对应的事物) of what people think of as words and phrases. They say they have found four basic components that they think make up this phonetic alphabet. Pratyusha Sharma, the paper’s lead researcher, says this alphabet could then be used by the whales in an unlimited number of combinations.
To get enough records of the sperm whale clicks in Dominica, where there is a residential population of about 200 sperm whales, scientists created a huge underwater recording studio with microphones at different depths. Devices on the whales recorded what position they were in when clicking-for example, diving, sleeping, breathing at the surface-and if there were any other whales nearby they might be communicating with.
Jeremy Goldbogen, an associate professor of oceans at Stanford University, who was not involved in the study, said that if we were one day able to understand what sperm whales were saying, that knowledge should be used for conservation purposes, like minimizing their risk of being hit by ships or reducing ocean noise levels
David Gruber, founder and president of the Cetacean Translation Initiative, says millions and possibly billions of whale clicks would be needed to collect enough data to try to work out what the whales are saying, but he expects AI to help speed the analysis.
8. What do we know about sperm whales?
A. They often travel alone.
B. They can sleep on their backs.
C. They can be up to 18 meters long.
D. They have smaller brains than humans.
9. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Language learning takes a lot of practice
B. Sperm whales give off clicks to track each other
C. The experimental results are inconsistent with the expectation
D. Sperm whales and humans may communicate in a similar way.
10. Which statement will Jeremy Goldbogen probably agree with?
A. The study is very meaningful. B. The ocean noise level is rather low.
C. It is risky to hunt sperm whales. D. It is easy to protect sperm whales
11. What does David Gruber suggest?
A. Limiting the use of AI. B. Recording the number of whales.
C. Collecting more whale clicks. D. Recovering the whale populations
D
In the Roman times and throughout the Middle Ages, salt was a valuable commodity (商品), and also served as “white gold”. Soldiers in the Roman army were sometimes paid with salt instead of money. Their monthly allowance was called “salarium” (“sal” being the Latin word for salt). This Latin root can be recognized in the French word “salaire” and it eventually made it into English as the word “salary”.
Language is something we take for granted. However, as the example with the word “salary” shows, languages are not static. Like biological species, languages change over time, and sometimes develop to give rise to several descendant (后代) languages. For example, French, Italian, and Spanish are among the languages that have evolved from Latin. And like species, languages can go extinct, too.
Given all these similarities, linguists (语言学家) who study the evolution of languages often use tools that are similar to those used by evolutionary biologists. One such tool is the reconstruction of a species tree. Such a tree shows the evolutionary history and relationships within a given group of biological species.
Using a reconstructed species tree, evolutionary biologists can often infer specific characteristics of ancestral species. Or they can match up common ancestors in the tree with actual fossils that have been found by paleontologists (古生物学家). This allows them to put real dates at various branching points in the tree. Thus, species tree reconstruction is an essential tool in studying biological evolution.
A similar technique can be used to study language evolution because languages also evolve and consist of words that can be easily compared. Indeed, linguists have reconstructed entire language trees. And as with species trees, characteristics of ancient ancestral languages can be derived (衍生) from them.
Of course, there also are some differences between species evolution and language evolution, each requiring unique additional methods to study them in detail. But, overall, it is fascinating to see how the basic ideas and research tools of language evolution are similar to those of biological evolution.
12. Why does the author mention the word “salary” in paragraph 1?
A. To illustrate the evolution of language.
B. To present the effect of Latin on languages.
C. To stress the value of salt in ancient times.
D. To show developments in linguistic theory.
13. What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. Cultural diversity and biodiversity are linked.
B. Species and languages have a lot in common.
C. Human-caused mass extinction is accelerating.
D. Languages influence and learn from each other.
14. What can we know about the reconstructed species tree?
A. It is currently in the design stage. B. It facilitates the research of linguists.
C. It can be used in a variety of ways. D. It is the first choice for biologists.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Language System Evolved Over Time
B. The Twin Extinctions of Species and Languages
C. Salt Played a Crucial Role in Early Human History
D. From Salt to Salary: Linguists Take a Page from Biology

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。
This is a story about an act of kindness that I did, which in turn changed my life in a way.
I used to teach in a university with a master’s degree. In my country, it was better to have a PhD for career advancement, and my qualifications needed to be improved. So I telephoned Professor Smith for help. I had heard that he was a good doctoral supervisor in the university, but I hadn’t met him. I tried to call him once, but to my disappointment, he said he was a little busy at that time and that he would contact me later.
One day, I was driving home from the university when I saw an accident at the side of the road. The two cars collided (碰撞), but fortunately the drivers were not injured. They argued with each other about the accident and became annoyed. Then I stopped my car to see if they might need my help.
“Calm down, gentlemen. What’s the matter?” I approached them and said.
“It’s just a minor scratch (划痕). There were some disagreements when we tried to work things out privately. I think he is asking for a little too much,” one driver said to me. I learned that he didn’t have enough money on hand to pay for the damage. Understanding the situation, I offered to help. I paid the amount needed to settle the matter.
A troublesome matter turned into a peaceful resolution with my involvement. When the driver offered to exchange our business cards, I agreed. “It was so kind of you to reach out. I’ll repay your money tomorrow,” he said. “Forget it. It’s just a small thing,” I responded. Finally, we said goodbye to each other. However, I didn’t expect my kind behavior would really bring me good luck.
When I went back home, I happened to see the driver’s business card. I was surprised to find that the driver I had helped was Professor Smith who I wanted to turn to for help. I confidently decided to call him again the next day to make an appointment.
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。
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, my phone rang.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That afternoon, I met Professor Smith in his office.

Some household germs can actually be useful in helping build up a child’s immune system, for example. But the real issue is that some of the disease-causing organisms found on our shoes and floors are drug-resistant, causing illnesses that are difficult to treat. “Cancer-causing toxins can be found on these shoes,” scientists say, “so it is best to leave your filth outside the door.”
Every day we carry much dirt with us on the soles of our shoes-mud. For many households, the pandemic has greatly reduced the number of places we go to. But even at that, all it takes is one walk down the street or a few minutes at the park to make you bring something nasty back home.
It’s important to note that not wearing shoes inside is more than just a hygiene thing. In many cultures around the world, leaving your shoes at the door is a sign of respect, a nod to superstition and it may even be in service of good health. Reflexologists (反射治疗师) say that walking around barefoot can help boost your circulation, improve your sleep quality and stimulate the reflexes on the soles of your feet, reducing inflammation, pain and tension.
4. What can we learn about dirt?
A. All the dirt in the house comes from dirty shoes.

C. The dirt brought back by shoes is very harmful to adults.
D. About a third of the dirt produced in the home comes from the outside.
5. What’s the author’s attitude towards leaving shoes at the doorstep?
A. Supportive B. Critical C. Indifferent D. Neutral
6. There are many benefits of not wearing shoes indoors except ________.
A. showing respect B. stimulating reflection
C. avoiding messing up carpet D. reducing the amount of dirt
7. What’s the best title of the text?

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了在室内不穿室外鞋的重要性以及带来的一些健康好处。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“According to the experts, about one-third of the matter building up inside your home comes from outside, much of it being tracked in on the soles of our shoes.(根据专家的说法,大约三分之一在你家里堆积的物质来自外部,其中大部分是通过我们的鞋底追踪到的。)”可知,大约三分之一的家里产生的污垢来自外部。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“According to the experts, about one-third of the matter building up inside your home comes from outside, much of it being tracked in on the soles of our shoes.(根据专家的说法,大约三分之一在你家里堆积的物质来自外部,其中大部分是通过我们的鞋底追踪到的。)”以及本段中“But the real issue is that some of the disease-causing organisms found on our shoes and floors are drug-resistant, causing illnesses that are difficult to treat.(但真正的问题是,在我们的鞋子和地板上发现的一些致病微生物是耐药的,会导致难以治疗的疾病。)”可知,作者认为家里堆积的物质来自外部,其中大部分是通过我们的鞋底追踪到的;并且这些鞋底发现的一些微生物是致病的。因此是反对在室内穿鞋的,因此作者对于在门廊留下鞋子持支持态度。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It’s important to note that not wearing shoes inside is more than just a hygiene thing. In many cultures around the world, leaving your shoes at the door is a sign of respect, a nod to superstition and it may even be in service of good health.(重要的是要注意,在室内不穿鞋不仅仅是卫生问题。在世界各地的许多文化中,把鞋子放在门口是一种尊重的表现,是对迷信的认可,甚至可能有助于身体健康。)”可知,室内不穿鞋不仅仅是卫生问题即避免弄脏地毯,以及减少灰尘之外,在许多文化中,把鞋子放在门口也是一种尊重的表现。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章主要讨论了在室内不穿室外鞋的重要性。专家表示,室外鞋底携带大量的污染物和微生物,大约有三分之一的家内灰尘来自于鞋子。虽然不是所有的灰尘都是有害的,但一些鞋子及地板上的病原体对药物具有抗性,可能导致难以治疗的疾病。此外,科学家警告说,这些鞋子上可能存在致癌的微生物,因此最好将污物留在门外。不穿鞋进入室内不仅仅是为了卫生,在很多文化中,脱鞋进屋是一种尊重、迷信的表现,也可能有益于健康。足部反射治疗师认为,光脚行走可以促进血液循环,提高睡眠质量,减少炎症、疼痛和紧张。因此D选项“Leaving shoes at the doorstep for health reasons(出于健康考虑把鞋子放在门口)”概括文章主要内容,符合标题。故选D。
C

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In a study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers analyzed more than 8. 700 pieces of sperm whale clicks that they believe make up a ‘honetic alphabet(音标)’, which the whales can use to build the very rough equivalent(对应的事物)of what people think of as words and phrases.(在《Nature Communications》杂志上发表的一项研究中,研究人员分析了8700多条抹香鲸发出咔嗒声,他们认为这些声音构成了一个‘音标’,抹香鲸可以用它来构建人们认为的单词和短语的大致等价物。)”可推断,抹香鲸和人类的交流方式可能相似。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Jeremy Goldbogen, an associate professor of oceans at Stanford University, who was not involved in the study, said that if we were one day able to understand what sperm whales were saying, that knowledge should be used for conservation purposes, like minimizing their risk of being hit by ships or reducing ocean noise levels(斯坦福大学海洋学副教授Jeremy Goldbogen没有参与这项研究,他说,如果有一天我们能够理解抹香鲸在说什么,这些知识应该用于保护目的,比如最大限度地降低它们被船只撞击的风险或降低海洋噪音水平。)”可推断, Jeremy Goldbogen认为,对于抹香鲸所发出的声音的研究非常有意义。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“David Gruber, founder and president of the Cetacean Translation Initiative, says millions and possibly billions of whale clicks would be needed to collect enough data to try to work out what the whales are saying, but he expects AI to help speed the analysis.( Cetacean Translation Initiative的创始人兼总裁David Gruber表示,需要数百万甚至数十亿次的鲸鱼发出的声音来收集足够的数据,试图弄清楚鲸鱼在说什么,但他希望人工智能能帮助加快分析速度。)”可知,David Gruber建议多收集一些抹香鲸的声音数据。故选C项。
D
In the Roman times and throughout the Middle Ages, salt was a valuable commodity (商品), and also served as “white gold”. Soldiers in the Roman army were sometimes paid with salt instead of money. Their monthly allowance was called “salarium” (“sal” being the Latin word for salt). This Latin root can be recognized in the French word “salaire” and it eventually made it into English as the word “salary”.
Language is something we take for granted. However, as the example with the word “salary” shows, languages are not static. Like biological species, languages change over time, and sometimes develop to give rise to several descendant (后代) languages. For example, French, Italian, and Spanish are among the languages that have evolved from Latin. And like species, languages can go extinct, too.
Given all these similarities, linguists (语言学家) who study the evolution of languages often use tools that are similar to those used by evolutionary biologists. One such tool is the reconstruction of a species tree. Such a tree shows the evolutionary history and relationships within a given group of biological species.
Using a reconstructed species tree, evolutionary biologists can often infer specific characteristics of ancestral species. Or they can match up common ancestors in the tree with actual fossils that have been found by paleontologists (古生物学家). This allows them to put real dates at various branching points in the tree. Thus, species tree reconstruction is an essential tool in studying biological evolution.
A similar technique can be used to study language evolution because languages also evolve and consist of words that can be easily compared. Indeed, linguists have reconstructed entire language trees. And as with species trees, characteristics of ancient ancestral languages can be derived (衍生) from them.
Of course, there also are some differences between species evolution and language evolution, each requiring unique additional methods to study them in detail. But, overall, it is fascinating to see how the basic ideas and research tools of language evolution are similar to those of biological evolution.
12. Why does the author mention the word “salary” in paragraph 1?
A. To illustrate the evolution of language.
B. To present the effect of Latin on languages.
C. To stress the value of salt in ancient times.
D. To show developments in linguistic theory.
13. What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. Cultural diversity and biodiversity are linked.
B. Species and languages have a lot in common.
C. Human-caused mass extinction is accelerating.
D. Languages influence and learn from each other.
14. What can we know about the reconstructed species tree?
A. It is currently in the design stage. B. It facilitates the research of linguists.
C. It can be used in a variety of ways. D. It is the first choice for biologists.
15 What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Language System Evolved Over Time
B. The Twin Extinctions of Species and Languages
C. Salt Played a Crucial Role in Early Human History
D. From Salt to Salary: Linguists Take a Page from Biology
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了语言进化与生物进化有众多相似之处,语言学家从研究自然物种演变的“物种树”中获取灵感,创建了“语言树”。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。第一段介绍了英语中的“salary”一词的由来。下文介绍了语言进化同物种进化之间的相似性,这种相似性启发语言学家创建类似于物种树的语言树,帮助推进语言研究。由此可推断,作者在第一段提及“salary”是为了说明语言在不断演变。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Like biological species, languages change over time, and sometimes develop to give rise to several descendant (后代) languages. For example, French, Italian, and Spanish are among the languages that have evolved from Latin. And like species, languages can go extinct, too.(就像生物物种一样,语言随着时间的推移而改变,有时会发展出几种后代语言。例如,法语、意大利语和西班牙语就是从拉丁语演变而来的语言之一。而且和物种一样,语言也可能灭绝)”可知,就像生物物种一样,语言会随着时间的推移而变化,有时会“物种化”,产生几种后代语言。就像物种一样,语言也会灭绝。由此可推断,物种和语言有很多相似之处。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三、四、五段内容可知,语言进化与生物进化有很多相似之处,因此,一些语言学家经常使用与进化生物学家使用的工具相似的工具。物种树是帮助进化生物学家研究生物进化的重要工具,同时也为语言学家提供了灵感,促进了语言学家的研究。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。作者在第一段以英语中的“salary”一词的例子说明了语言也在进化,进而在下文介绍物种和语言有很多相似之处,物种树启示语言学家创建语言树来推动语言的研究。D项能概括本文大意。故选D项。

This is a story about an act of kindness that I did, which in turn changed my life in a way.
I used to teach in a university with a master’s degree. In my country, it was better to have a PhD for career advancement, and my qualifications needed to be improved. So I telephoned Professor Smith for help. I had heard that he was a good doctoral supervisor in the university, but I hadn’t met him. I tried to call him once, but to my disappointment, he said he was a little busy at that time and that he would contact me later.
One day, I was driving home from the university when I saw an accident at the side of the road. The two cars collided (碰撞), but fortunately the drivers were not injured. They argued with each other about the accident and became annoyed. Then I stopped my car to see if they might need my help.
“Calm down, gentlemen. What’s the matter?” I approached them and said.
“It’s just a minor scratch (划痕). There were some disagreements when we tried to work things out privately. I think he is asking for a little too much” one driver said to me. I learned that he didn’t have enough money on hand to pay for the damage. Understanding the situation, I offered to help. I paid the amount needed to settle the matter.
A troublesome matter turned into a peaceful resolution with my involvement. When the driver offered to exchange our business cards, I agreed. “It was so kind of you to reach out. I’ll repay your money tomorrow,” he said. “Forget it. It’s just a small thing,” I responded. Finally, we said goodbye to each other. However, I didn’t expect my kind behavior would really bring me good luck.
When I went back home, I happened to see the driver’s business card. I was surprised to find that the driver I had helped was Professor Smith who I wanted to turn to for help. I confidently decided to call him again the next day to make an appointment.

【答案】
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, my phone rang. It was Professor Smith’s voice. “Good morning, I just found out it was you that one called me for help. I believe we met yesterday in a rather unusual circumstance,” he began to say. I was astonished. He continued, “I’m calling to thank you for your assistance and to see if you’re free to discuss your doctoral aspirations this afternoon.” His voice was filled with sincerity, and I could hardly contain my excitement. “Of course, Professor Smith,” I responded, feeling a surge of hope.
That afternoon, I met Professor Smith in his office. He insisted on giving me my money back, although I refused several times. Then he discussed with me about my academic goals and invited me to join his doctoral program. His unexpected call paved the way for a new chapter in my academic journey. As we communicated, I realized that sometimes, the most significant opportunities could arise from the simplest acts of kindness. It was a lesson that I would carry with me throughout my career.
