Horses have always held a special place in the hearts of many famous artists. Let’s explore some of the most well-known paintings of horses by famous artists.
Chinese Horse at Lascaux Cave
This Chinese Horse painting was first discovered in 1940 at the prehistoric cave art sites, Lascaux, in France. The painting earned its name for looking like the style of a Sung Chinese painting of a horse. Early artists created their own paintbrushes from animal skin and hair and also employed a spray (喷洒) painting technique using a hollow (空心的) reed to blow pigment through.
Whistlejacket
Whistlejacket depicts a life-sized racehorse against a plain background. One of the most unique features of this painting is that it does not situate the horse in any particular location. Rather, it focuses only on the details and character of the horse in question. In a way, Stubbs captures the spirit of the horse that suggests freedom of spirit, not tied to any background or environment, which makes this horse painting quite special for its time.
Horse Frightened by Lightning
In Horse Frightened by Lightning, a white horse is frightened by the lightning, standing on its hind legs in a storm. The daring color choices and detailed brushwork captures the reaction of the animal with care, showing panic and terror. The unpleasant weather is highlighted by the strong contrast created between the horse and the dark black and gray clouds that cover the entire sky. The symbolism found in most Romantic horse paintings includes themes of passion, power, nobility, and intense emotion.
1. What do we know about Chinese Horse?
A. It employed colors daringly.
B. It was painted on animal skins.
C. It was a Sung Chinese painting.
D. It used a spray painting approach.
2. What theme is commonly found in Romantic horse paintings?

C. Connection with animals. D. Power of nature.
3. Where might the text be taken from?
A. An art magazine article. B. An art festival guide.
C. An art exhibition poster. D. An art history lecture.

While West Africa’s Benin approaches its rainy season, occasional showers and sticky hot weather have done little to lessen the enthusiasm of local villagers who gathered to watch the first Benin Village Super League. Soccer teams from two villages in Parakou, a central city in Benin, competed on a soccer field near the base of the Chinese support mission for cotton production in Benin, in Belle Cite Village.
For the past decade, the China-assisted cotton technology project has been active in Parakou, a major cotton-producing region in Benin. The long-term technical assistance has built strong relationships with villagers. When the project team learned that the former soccer field had been expropriated (征用), they decided to build a new one using agricultural machinery and recycled materials.
Last summer, videos of some soccer matches in Rongjiang county, Southwest China’s Guizhou province, went popular and attracted worldwide tourists. Inspired by this, the Village Super League in Parakou includes cultural performances during halftime, featuring Chinese martial arts and Beninese dance. “Locals love soccer and I wanted to bring this model here and set up a similar league,” said Shou Xiaoyong, head of the Chinese technical team.
Named the Friendship Football Field, the new facility was opened in March last year. It quickly became the preferred place for soccer among villagers in Belle Cite and nearby areas, hosting regular matches, especially during agricultural downtimes.
As the tournament progressed, its popularity rose. Villagers from surrounding areas traveled on motorcycles with their children to watch the matches. Yves Koba, the head of Belle Cite Village, praised the Village Super League for promoting (促进) communication and friendship among villages. “The league has made us more united. I hope it continues and that our villagers achieve even better results next year.”
4. What has caused excitement among the villagers in Parakou?
A. The first village league. B. The China-assisted project.
C. The newly-built football field. D. The start of the harvest season.
5. For what reason was the Friendship Football Field built?
A. To attract worldwide tourists. B. To provide a place for soccer lovers.
C. To inspire locals’ love for soccer. D. To bring Chinese culture into focus.
6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How popular football is in Benin.
B. How the new football field was built.
C. What Benin Village Super League is like.
D. Why Chinese village league model was introduced.
7. What does Yves Koba think of the Village Super League in Benin?
A. It brings in huge money. B. It promotes cross-cultural exchanges.
C. It forms a new tradition. D. It strengthens friendship among villages.
C
Every year travelers head to South America to be amazed at the vast glaciers, huge open skies and high mountains. But at Omora Ethnobotanical Park on Tierra del Fuego, visitors are encouraged to think small.
Tierra del Fuego, a remote island at the tip of South America, might offer little in terms of animals and trees, but when it comes to bryophytes (苔藓植物), it is among the richest corners of the planet. In the area that covers less than 0.01% of the Earth’s land surface, more than 5% of the world’s bryophyte species is found.
On entering the park, you’re given a magnifying lens (放大镜). Guided by plant experts, you are invited to get down on your hands and knees to explore the little-known world of Tierra del Fuego’s “miniature forests” — the bryophytes that cover the rocks and trees. Focus is key: as you tiptoe through the park, it is easy to miss or even step on them.
I wondered how interesting mosses could be. But when I got up close, they started to come to life. Shapes and colours appeared that were not visible to the naked eye. One plant was bright yellow, while another was green with a bright red tip like a little hat.
One of the strangest plants is Old Man’s Beard, which looks like thin noodles and hangs off the trees in webs. According to my guide Lily Lewis, it plays an important role in the growth of the forest, capturing nutrients (营养) and salts blown in on the ocean wind.
Old Man’s Beard is extremely vulnerable to pollution, and has all but disappeared across much of the planet. But in Tierra del Fuego, where the air and rain are among the cleanest on the planet, it grows wildly.
“The hand lens is your entry point into the world of the miniature forests,” Lewis said. “Looking through a lens reminds you that there are other viewpoints from which we can see the world.”
8. Which title best describes Tierra del Fuego?
A. A wonderland for tiny plants. B. A unique place for rare species.
C. A top destination for hiking lovers. D. A remote land with different landscapes.
9. What quality is highly valued while exploring Omora Ethnobotanical Park?
A. Curiosity and creativity. B. Quickness and confidence.
C. Calmness and attentiveness. D. Determination and courage.
10. Which can best replace the underlined word “vulnerable”?
A. Sensitive. B. Adaptable. C. Beneficial. D. Resistant.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Eco-tourism in Tierra del Fuego B. An Encounter with Old Man’s Beard
C. A Tiny Forest on the Tip of the World D. Start Your Journey of Discovery, Now!
D
The time for action is now, at least when it comes to climate change. If we don’t take measures that limit global warming, it may be impossible to stop its progress, according to a study published in 2018.
The study claims that in 2035, we will cross a point of no return — after which it will be extremely unlikely that we can stop Earth’s temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius (2℃) and kicking off dangerous global disasters.
The 2℃ mark is very important for Earth’s well-being. Once the planet warms an additional 2℃, scientists predict a range of disastrous effects, from widespread flooding in coastal areas to burning heat waves and extreme storms.
One important area that could slow the movement toward a point of no return in 2035 is the changing from fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to renewable energy sources. But even this will require significant progress. Scientists have figured that the share of renewables worldwide must grow by at least 2 percent each year in order to slow the process toward climate change. Two percent a year may not sound like much, but in the 20 years leading up to 2017, the percentage of energy from renewables grew by a poor total of 3.6 percent.
There is hope, though. If the use of renewable energy were to go beyond the scientists’ model, say by 5 percent per each year, the climate change deadline (最后期限) could move back by at least a decade, the researchers note. Also, developing technology to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere could help slow climate change. These gases change Earth’s atmosphere and allow it to capture more heat from the sun and cause temperatures to rise.
“We hope that ‘having a deadline’ may stimulate the sense of urgency to act for policy makers,” Henk Dijkstra, one of the study authors, said. “Very little time is left.”
12. What might happen once the Earth warms an additional 2℃?
A. The climate system will be rebuilt.
B Global warming is uncontrollable.
C. Natural disasters become unavoidable.
D. Timely action will no longer be necessary.
13. What does the underlined “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The advances of scientific research.
B. The shift from fossil fuels to renewables.
C. The process of slowing down climate change.
D. The increase of public environmental awareness.
14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The limitation of scientists’ model.
B. Possible solutions to slowing climate change.
C. The value of the ‘point of no return’ concept.
D. Serious effects of greenhouse gases on Earth.
15. Why do the researchers set a deadline?
A. To stress the need of global cooperation.
B. To call on people to use renewable energy.
C. To urge policy makers to take immediate action.
D. To show their determination to stop global warming.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I would feel ashamed every time I receive a new package (包裹) on my doorstep. I know that buying new stuff is bad for the planet. But every time I buy something, I get some happiness that’s hard to give up.
Recently a new book has given me new insights: ____16____ It’s the way our brains have evolved (进化). And there may be a way to break the cycle.We are evolved from simple organisms that survived because their networks of nerve cells learned to repeat rewarding (有益的) decisions. Today, we have billions of action cells in the brain. They are always forming connections to strengthen rewarding behavior. ____17____ We seek out those releases in dopamine, and at the same time repeat the actions that lead to them.
____18____ Maybe you weren’t even thinking about buying watercolor paints. Then something reminded that you like painting, and you searched online and found they were less expensive than you expected. When they arrived on your doorstep, they were better than you thought. Your brain will be drawn to repeat the behavior that got you something unexpected and good.
The best way to break the overbuying habits is not to stop buying things completely.
____19____ Imagine you’ve formed a habit of eating chocolate before bed for comfort, even though you know you don’t need the calories. You can try having milk with cocoa powder as a healthier replacement, which provides similar comfort. Once you start losing weight, the reward of being able to fit into your old clothes will feel as good as the chocolate once does. ____20____ Buying used items satisfies our desire to acquire. It gives us the same good feeling of an unexpected reward without consuming more resources.
A. We need that same replacement for shopping.
B. Whether that approach would work is up for debate.
C. Our brains especially like it, and release more dopamine.
D. My desire to keep buying things isn’t necessarily a personal fault.
E. In this process, dopamine is released, helping us learn how to obtain a reward.
F. The good feeling connected to unexpected rewards is partly why we like shopping.
G. A better solution may be to replace the old, long-term harmful rewards with new ones.

Everything I see on TV is that it’s usually an older man as a scientist,” she said. “My goal has really shifted from ____28____ my own devices to solve problems to inspiring others to do the same as well. Because, from personal experience, it’s not ____29____ when you don’t see anyone else like you. So I really want to put out that ____30____: “If I can do it, you can do it, and anyone can do it.”

A new study has found that traffic noise pollution holds back growth in baby birds, even while inside the egg. Unhatched (未孵化的) birds and newborn chicks that are exposed (暴露) to noise from city traffic suffer from long-term negative effects on their health, growth and reproduction (繁殖).
“Sound has a much stronger and more direct impact on bird development than we knew before,” said Dr Mylene Mariette, a bird communication expert and a co-author of the study. “It would be wise to work more to reduce noise pollution.”
Previous research has suggested that noise pollution causes stress to birds and makes communication harder for them. However, it is still unclear whether birds are stressed by noise at a young age or even before hatched.
Mariette’s team exposed bird eggs for five days to either silence, calming recordings of bird songs, or recordings of city traffic noises such as loud motors and cars driving past. They did the same with newborn chicks for about four hours a night for up to 13 nights.
They noticed that the bird eggs were almost 20% less likely to hatch if exposed to traffic noise. The chicks that did hatch were more than 10% smaller and almost 15% lighter than the others.
When the team examined their red blood cells and their telomeres — a piece of DNA that shortens with stress and age — they were more weakened and shorter than birds that were not exposed to noise.
The effects continued even after the chicks were no longer exposed to noise pollution, and carried over into their reproductive age four years later. The birds disturbed by noise during the early stages of their lives produced fewer than half as many offspring (后代) as those that were not exposed to noise.

【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了马在许多著名艺术家的心中一直占有特殊的地位,文章重点介绍了一些著名艺术家最著名的马画。
【1题详解】

While West Africa’s Benin approaches its rainy season, occasional showers and sticky hot weather have done little to lessen the enthusiasm of local villagers who gathered to watch the first Benin Village Super League. Soccer teams from two villages in Parakou, a central city in Benin, competed on a soccer field near the base of the Chinese support mission for cotton production in Benin, in Belle Cite Village.
For the past decade, the China-assisted cotton technology project has been active in Parakou, a major cotton-producing region in Benin. The long-term technical assistance has built strong relationships with villagers. When the project team learned that the former soccer field had been expropriated (征用), they decided to build a new one using agricultural machinery and recycled materials.
Last summer, videos of some soccer matches in Rongjiang county, Southwest China’s Guizhou province, went popular and attracted worldwide tourists. Inspired by this, the Village Super League in Parakou includes cultural performances during halftime, featuring Chinese martial arts and Beninese dance. “Locals love soccer and I wanted to bring this model here and set up a similar league,” said Shou Xiaoyong, head of the Chinese technical team.
Named the Friendship Football Field, the new facility was opened in March last year. It quickly became the preferred place for soccer among villagers in Belle Cite and nearby areas, hosting regular matches, especially during agricultural downtimes.
As the tournament progressed, its popularity rose. Villagers from surrounding areas traveled on motorcycles with their children to watch the matches. Yves Koba, the head of Belle Cite Village, praised the Village Super League for promoting (促进) communication and friendship among villages. “The league has made us more united. I hope it continues and that our villagers achieve even better results next year.”

Every year, travelers head to South America to be amazed at the vast glaciers, huge open skies and high mountains. But at Omora Ethnobotanical Park on Tierra del Fuego, visitors are encouraged to think small.
Tierra del Fuego, a remote island at the tip of South America, might offer little in terms of animals and trees, but when it comes to bryophytes (苔藓植物), it is among the richest corners of the planet. In the area that covers less than 0.01% of the Earth’s land surface, more than 5% of the world’s bryophyte species is found.
On entering the park, you’re given a magnifying lens (放大镜). Guided by plant experts, you are invited to get down on your hands and knees to explore the little-known world of Tierra del Fuego’s “miniature forests” — the bryophytes that cover the rocks and trees. Focus is key: as you tiptoe through the park, it is easy to miss or even step on them.
I wondered how interesting mosses could be. But when I got up close, they started to come to life. Shapes and colours appeared that were not visible to the naked eye. One plant was bright yellow, while another was green with a bright red tip like a little hat.
One of the strangest plants is Old Man’s Beard, which looks like thin noodles and hangs off the trees in webs. According to my guide Lily Lewis, it plays an important role in the growth of the forest, capturing nutrients (营养) and salts blown in on the ocean wind.
Old Man’s Beard is extremely vulnerable to pollution, and has all but disappeared across much of the planet. But in Tierra del Fuego, where the air and rain are among the cleanest on the planet, it grows wildly.
“The hand lens is your entry point into the world of the miniature forests,” Lewis said. “Looking through a lens reminds you that there are other viewpoints from which we can see the world.”
8. Which title best describes Tierra del Fuego?
A. A wonderland for tiny plants. B. A unique place for rare species.
C. A top destination for hiking lovers. D. A remote land with different landscapes.
9. What quality is highly valued while exploring Omora Ethnobotanical Park?
A. Curiosity and creativity. B. Quickness and confidence.
C. Calmness and attentiveness. D. Determination and courage.
10. Which can best replace the underlined word “vulnerable”?

The time for action is now, at least when it comes to climate change. If we don’t take measures that limit global warming, it may be impossible to stop its progress, according to a study published in 2018.
The study claims that in 2035, we will cross a point of no return — after which it will be extremely unlikely that we can stop Earth’s temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius (2℃) and kicking off dangerous global disasters.
The 2℃ mark is very important for Earth’s well-being. Once the planet warms an additional 2℃, scientists predict a range of disastrous effects, from widespread flooding in coastal areas to burning heat waves and extreme storms.
One important area that could slow the movement toward a point of no return in 2035 is the changing from fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to renewable energy sources. But even this will require significant progress. Scientists have figured that the share of renewables worldwide must grow by at least 2 percent each year in order to slow the process toward climate change. Two percent a year may not sound like much, but in the 20 years leading up to 2017, the percentage of energy from renewables grew by a poor total of 3.6 percent.
There is hope, though. If the use of renewable energy were to go beyond the scientists’ model, say by 5 percent per each year, the climate change deadline (最后期限) could move back by at least a decade, the researchers note. Also, developing technology to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere could help slow climate change. These gases change Earth’s atmosphere and allow it to capture more heat from the sun and cause temperatures to rise.
“We hope that ‘having a deadline’ may stimulate the sense of urgency to act for policy makers,” Henk Dijkstra, one of the study authors, said. “Very little time is left.”
12. What might happen once the Earth warms an additional 2℃?
A. The climate system will be rebuilt.
B. Global warming is uncontrollable.
C. Natural disasters become unavoidable.
D. Timely action will no longer be necessary.
13. What does the underlined “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The advances of scientific research.
B. The shift from fossil fuels to renewables.
C. The process of slowing down climate change.
D The increase of public environmental awareness.
14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The limitation of scientists’ model.
B. Possible solutions to slowing climate change.
C. The value of the ‘point of no return’ concept.
D. Serious effects of greenhouse gases on Earth.
15. Why do the researchers set a deadline?
A. To stress the need of global cooperation.
B. To call on people to use renewable energy.
C. To urge policy makers to take immediate action.
D. To show their determination to stop global warming.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要描述了全球变暖的发展趋势和即将产生的危害,并敦促决策者要立即采取行动加以应对。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Once the planet warms an additional 2℃, scientists predict a range of disastrous effects, from widespread flooding in coastal areas to burning heat waves and extreme storms.”(科学家们预测,一旦地球温度再升高2摄氏度,就会产生一系列灾难性的影响,从沿海地区的大范围洪水到燃烧的热浪和极端风暴。)可知,一旦地球温度再升高2℃,就很可能无法避免地发生自然灾害。故选C。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“One important area that could slow the movement toward a point of no return in 2035 is the changing from fossil fuels(矿物燃料) to renewable energy sources.”(一个可能会减缓2035年走向不可逆转的临界点的重要领域,是从化石燃料到可再生能源的转变。)和划线词所在句“But even this will require significant progress.”(但甚至这样也需要取得重大进展。)可知,“this”指的是上句所提到的“the changing from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources(从化石燃料到可再生能源的转变)”,即the shift from fossil fuels to renewables(从化石燃料到可再生能源的转变)。故选B。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“If the use of renewable energy were to go beyond the scientists’ model, say by 5 percent per each year, the climate change deadline (最后期限) could move back by at least a decade, the researchers note. Also, developing technology to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere could help slow climate change.”(研究人员指出,如果可再生能源的使用超过科学家的范例,比如每年增加5%,那么气候变化的最后期限可能会推迟至少十年。此外,开发从大气中去除温室气体的技术也有助于减缓气候变化。)可知,该段主要讲述了可能减缓气候变化的解决方案。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段研究者Henk Dijkstra的话“We hope that ‘having a deadline’ may stimulate the sense of urgency to act for policy makers,”(我们希望“设定最后期限”可能会激发决策者采取行动的紧迫感)可知,研究者们设定最后期限是为了敦促决策者立即采取行动。故选C。

I would feel ashamed every time I receive a new package (包裹) on my doorstep. I know that buying new stuff is bad for the planet. But every time I buy something, I get some happiness that’s hard to give up.
Recently a new book has given me new insights: ____16____ It’s the way our brains have evolved (进化). And there may be a way to break the cycle.We are evolved from simple organisms that survived because their networks of nerve cells learned to repeat rewarding (有益的) decisions. Today, we have billions of action cells in the brain. They are always forming connections to strengthen rewarding behavior. ____17____ We seek out those releases in dopamine, and at the same time repeat the actions that lead to them.
____18____ Maybe you weren’t even thinking about buying watercolor paints. Then something reminded that you like painting, and you searched online and found they were less expensive than you expected. When they arrived on your doorstep, they were better than you thought. Your brain will be drawn to repeat the behavior that got you something unexpected and good.
The best way to break the overbuying habits is not to stop buying things completely.
____19____ Imagine you’ve formed a habit of eating chocolate before bed for comfort, even though you know you don’t need the calories. You can try having milk with cocoa powder as a healthier replacement, which provides similar comfort. Once you start losing weight, the reward of being able to fit into your old clothes will feel as good as the chocolate once does. ____20____ Buying used items satisfies our desire to acquire. It gives us the same good feeling of an unexpected reward without consuming more resources.
A. We need that same replacement for shopping.
B. Whether that approach would work is up for debate.
C. Our brains especially like it, and release more dopamine.
D. My desire to keep buying things isn’t necessarily a personal fault.
E. In this process, dopamine is released, helping us learn how to obtain a reward.

【19题详解】
根据后文“Imagine you’ve formed a habit of eating chocolate before bed for comfort, even though you know you don’t need the calories. You can try having milk with cocoa powder as a healthier replacement, which provides similar comfort. Once you start losing weight, the reward of being able to fit into your old clothes will feel as good as the chocolate once does.(想象一下,你已经养成了睡前吃巧克力的习惯,即使你知道你不需要卡路里。你可以尝试用可可粉代替牛奶,这更健康,也能提供同样的舒适感。一旦你开始减肥,能够穿上旧衣服的奖励就像巧克力曾经给你的感觉一样好)”可知,本段给出的建议是通过新的奖励来代替旧的不好的奖励。故G选项“一个更好的解决办法可能是用新的奖励取代旧的、长期有害的奖励”符合语境,故选G。

考查定语从句。句意:大多数皮影戏木偶是用皮革制成的,这些皮革必须经过精心挑选,并在雕刻木偶之前反复打磨和加工。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是leathers,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【36题详解】
考查代词。句意:在表演过程中,表演者用连接在他们最重要关节上的棍子拿着木偶,这样木偶就可以在屏幕上作为“移动的图像”显示出来。空处应用形容词性物主代词their,修饰most important joints。故填their。

【39题详解】
考查时态。句意:然而,中国各地的当地艺术家正在探索帮助它生存的方法。explore“探索”这一动作开始于过去,持续到现在,并将继续持续下去,句子时态应用现在完成进行时have/has been doing,又因主语artists是复数,所以助动词用have。故填have been exploring。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2011年,中国皮影戏被列入联合国教科文组织的非物质文化遗产名录,从而为这一古老的艺术形式注入了新的活力。breathe new life into“给……注入新的活力”。本句谓语为was added to,此处为非谓语动词,空处应用breathe的现在分词,作结果状语。故填breathing。

51. 阅读下面短文,根据内容写一篇80词左右的内容概要。
A new study has found that traffic noise pollution holds back growth in baby birds, even while inside the egg. Unhatched (未孵化的) birds and newborn chicks that are exposed (暴露) to noise from city traffic suffer from long-term negative effects on their health, growth and reproduction (繁殖).
“Sound has a much stronger and more direct impact on bird development than we knew before,” said Dr Mylene Mariette, a bird communication expert and a co-author of the study. “It would be wise to work more to reduce noise pollution.”
Previous research has suggested that noise pollution causes stress to birds and makes communication harder for them. However, it is still unclear whether birds are stressed by noise at a young age or even before hatched.
Mariette’s team exposed bird eggs for five days to either silence, calming recordings of bird songs, or recordings of city traffic noises such as loud motors and cars driving past. They did the same with newborn chicks for about four hours a night for up to 13 nights.
They noticed that the bird eggs were almost 20% less likely to hatch if exposed to traffic noise. The chicks that did hatch were more than 10% smaller and almost 15% lighter than the others.
When the team examined their red blood cells and their telomeres — a piece of DNA that shortens with stress and age — they were more weakened and shorter than birds that were not exposed to noise.
The effects continued even after the chicks were no longer exposed to noise pollution, and carried over into their reproductive age four years later. The birds disturbed by noise during the early stages of their lives produced fewer than half as many offspring (后代) as those that were not exposed to noise.

【答案】Possible version:
A recent study proves that traffic noise exposure in baby birds directly interferes with their development, which causes severe and long-lasting harm to those chicks. To figure out whether birds are stressed by noise at a young age or even before hatching, researchers exposed bird eggs and hatchlings to silence, bird songs, or traffic noises, and found that exposure to traffic noise reduced hatching success by 20%, and the chicks were smaller, lighter and weaker. Additionally, these negative effects extended to the birds’ reproductive success later in life.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说,最近的一项研究证明,雏鸟接触交通噪音会直接干扰它们的发育,对雏鸟造成严重而持久的伤害。为了弄清楚鸟类在幼年甚至在孵化前是否会受到噪音的压力,研究人员将鸟蛋和雏鸟暴露在寂静、鸟鸣或交通噪音中,发现交通噪音使孵化成功率降低了20%,雏鸟更小、更轻、更弱。此外,这些负面影响延伸到鸟类以后的繁殖成功。

【答案】范文
Last week, we set up a volunteer group, aimed at helping autistic children with their daily activities and social skills through arts, music therapy, and simple games.
One major challenge we faced was recruiting members who were both devoted and available. Many students were interested, but they had conflicting schedules. To resolve this, we held online meetings and reached out to more members. Another challenge was learning how to interact effectively with autistic children. Luckily, we received some special training from local experts.
This journey taught me patience, empathy, and the value of community service. It also deepened my understanding of teamwork and leadership, which involve listening, supporting, and sometimes stepping back to let others take the lead.
In short, it has been a rewarding experience filled with challenges and growth.
