Well your questions have taken me back to the past and inspired me to reflect on my current work.
I became interested in plants when I was about six years old. I grew up in Hubei Province in central China, which is well-known for medicinal plants. My grandfather was a local herbal doctor, and had much knowledge about plant diversity. He went to the mountains to pick plants, and I helped him. So I’ve always had that appreciation for green diversity.
But because I was his granddaughter, I was not allowed to inherit his medicinal knowledge — he was supposed to pass that knowledge on to his son or his grandson. But I was guided and attracted by the plant diversity I saw every day in the forests. In college, I was studying forestry, and a professor would take us on field trips. In the mountains near my college, there must be 300 species of trees. So I asked him, “How can these plants come together in this place so well?” He looked at me, saying, “That’s a good question. You can devote yourself to studying that question.” That was the moment when I knew I wanted to be a plant biologist.
So today I’m a plant biologist who’s focused on studying plant diversity. Now I work on describing new species — I’m working on describing a new ginseng (人参) species from Thailand and have also begun to describe a new grape species from Yunnan Province in southwest China.
I am a lucky scientist. Plants hybridize (杂交) like crazy in the wild. These kinds of processes, without proper tools, are impossible to figure out. Now we actually have various advanced tools to test our hypotheses (假设), to understand the patterns and the processes of plant evolution.
Some people may think my work is boring. But for me, it’s not. We’re trying to understand how humans can benefit from this vast plant diversity. Our science can teach us to conserve that plant diversity, so it can benefit not only us, but future generations. Also, our research encourages the new generation to carry on the torch.
24. What made the author decide to be a plant biologist?
A. Her early school life. B. Her grandfather’s guidance.
C. A teacher’s encouragement. D. A wonderful childhood adventure.
25. Why does the author consider herself a lucky scientist?
A. She is good at hybridizing various plants.
B. She has lots of opportunities to work in labs.
C. She is allowed to propose hypotheses in public.
D. She has many good tools to study plant evolution.
26. How does the author find her work?
A. Boring. B. Simple.
C. Impractical. D. Meaningful.
27. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A journal entry. B. An interview.
C. A biography. D. A science report.
C
In a study in Australia, a seven-week cooking class was found to significantly improve mental health and well-being, physical health markers, confidence and life satisfaction — as well as the ability to change eating habits.
The story of the decline in physical and mental health in the Western world is well-known. An emphasis on work and study leads to the consumption of less nutritious food, which has exploded in availability as the decades have advanced. 67% of all Australians are overweight or obese, a figure which is nearly applicable to the American population.
An international team of researchers aimed to investigate if a course of seven 90-minutecooking classes could improve health outcomes by restoring confidence in people’s ability to cook for themselves at home.
“The 90-minute hands-on cooking session used a new recipe each week to support learning of skills and knowledge about nutritious foods, to enable increased cooking confidence, skill development and food literacy knowledge. In addition, participants were taught knife-handling skills and were given tips and advice about healthy options for how to boost flavor and create dishes using fresh foods to replace pre-prepared ingredients. Food-budget planning, kitchen economy and reduction of food waste were also covered,” the study reads.
Six months after the classes, the participants, 32% of whom had scores for physical health, mental health, and subjective vitality lower than the national average, all reported significant improvements.
A limitation of the study, the researchers note, could be that as the class was a group activity, it was simply the result of doing something constructive together with other people that resulted in the benefits.
However, as the improvements in mental and physical well-being were observed months after the classes concluded, one can suppose it’s due more to cooking knowledge gained during the seven-week cooking session and perhaps more time with family and friends over cooked meals.
28. What does the author try to do in the second paragraph?
A. Lead in a new topic for discussion. B. Offer examples for a conclusion.
C. Add some background information. D. Give some useful advice to readers.
29. What were the participants required to do during the cooking sessions?
A. Interact actively with group members. B. Replace fresh foods with processed ones.
C. Gain the knowledge about nutritious foods. D. Grow fresh vegetables in their own gardens.
30. What happened to the participants after taking the cooking classes?
A. Their general health greatly improved. B. They grew apart from their family.
C. They saved a lot of money on cooking. D. Their subjective vitality became lower.
31. What is the author’s opinion on the seven-week cooking class?
A. It has little to do with people’s health. B. It is too short to bring pleasant results.
C. It influences the participants temporarily. D. It benefits the participants in some way.
D
Five years ago, French navy officer Jérôme Chardon was listening to a radio program about the journey of the bar-tailed godwit, a bird that migrates 14,000 kilometers between New Zealand and Alaska. Chardon understood how treacherous the journey would be, as heavy storms frequently hit Pacific island communities. Yet, somehow, bar-tailed godwits routinely pass through the area uninjured. Chardon wondered whether learning how birds traveled could help coastal communities avoid natural disasters.
This past January, a team from France’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) began experiments designed to test Chardon’s idea. Researchers with a project led by Frédéric Jiguet from NMNH equipped 56 birds of five species with cutting-edge animal tracking technology. The team members were ferried to remote islands in French Polynesia, where they attached tags (标签) using tracking technology. These tags sent the birds’ locations to the International Space Station, which bounced the data back to scientists on Earth who could then follow the birds — waiting to see how the birds responded to natural disasters.
The project is focusing on birds’ ability to hear infrasound, the low-frequency sound humans cannot hear but that the researchers believe is the most likely signal birds would use to sense storms and tsunamis (海啸). In a 2014 study, scientists tracking a kind of golden-winged birds in the central and southeastern America found that the birds flew up to 1,500 kilometers to escape from an outbreak of tornadoes (龙卷风) that killed 35 people. The birds fled at least 24 hours before any extreme weather hit, leaving the scientists to believe that they had heard the storm system from more than 400 kilometers away.
The team plans on tagging hundreds more birds across the Pacific to prepare for a potential tsunami. “I think if there’s one wave that spreads across islands, we can get data from different species at different locations,” says Jiguet. “That will say it’s worth continuing to tag and to develop local systems to better analyze this. There are chances that we will develop a bird-based tsunami early warning system.”
32. Which of the following best explains the word “treacherous” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Strange. B. Amazing. C. Dangerous. D. Frequent.
33. What is the function of the tags?
A Tracking natural disasters. B. Distinguishing bird species.
C. Reporting the birds’ situations. D. Guiding researchers to islands.
34. Why is the 2014 study mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To prove an assumption. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To present a new topic. D. To make comparisons.
35. What might be the best title for the text?
A. How Can Birds Avoid Natural Disasters?
B. Can Birds Warn Us of Natural Disasters?
C. How Does a Warning System Function?
D. Can Birds Play a Role in Human Research?

I didn’t see the thin plastic tape running across the bread bag when I put the bread in my shopping cart or when I checked out. It wasn’t until I unpacked the bread at home that I realized that I’d broken the rules again.
That stupid plastic tape joined the long list of mistakes I made in just one week of trying to eat plastic-free. Last month, I challenged myself to purchase a week’s worth of food without bringing home any plastic. That meant no yogurt containers or plastic packages.
I chose a budget of $115 (roughly half-way between the average weekly grocery bill for a family of two in Massachusetts). On Saturday afternoon, I pulled into the parking lot of a well-known zero-waste shopping center.
I started in the produce section, where I typically got a plastic bag of organic baby carrots. This time, I could not go there because every vegetable in the organic section was packed in plastic containers. But I found some beautiful carrots among the non-organic produce. Then I saw the plastic price labels hanging off their rubber bands. I rolled my cart past the green beans and grapes, all inside the plastic. I weighed loose apples, onions and sweet potatoes. My anxiety kicked in — a feeling that I wouldn’t have enough. So, I bought a head of cabbage.
I tapped prices into the calculator on my phone. Leaving the produce section, I was in good shape, at $32. It was time to search for protein.
I headed to the meat counter. Again, everything was prepackaged in plastic. But the man behind the glass kindly agreed to put some chicken and meat, separately, in paper bags. Together they were $21.
Tofu, cheese, yogurt and pretty much everything in the dairy section were prepackaged in plastic. Even the bottled milk had a plastic cap. But there were lots of eggs in those paper bags.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At checkout, I still had $62 left but I could not find anything else without plastic.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the moment, I realized that perhaps I shouldn’t have had aimed too high.

Well, your questions have taken me back to the past and inspired me to reflect on my current work.
I became interested in plants when I was about six years old. I grew up in Hubei Province in central China, which is well-known for medicinal plants. My grandfather was a local herbal doctor, and had much knowledge about plant diversity. He went to the mountains to pick plants, and I helped him. So I’ve always had that appreciation for green diversity.
But because I was his granddaughter, I was not allowed to inherit his medicinal knowledge — he was supposed to pass that knowledge on to his son or his grandson. But I was guided and attracted by the plant diversity I saw every day in the forests. In college, I was studying forestry, and a professor would take us on field trips. In the mountains near my college, there must be 300 species of trees. So I asked him, “How can these plants come together in this place so well?” He looked at me, saying, “That’s a good question. You can devote yourself to studying that question.” That was the moment when I knew I wanted to be a plant biologist.
So today I’m a plant biologist who’s focused on studying plant diversity. Now I work on describing new species — I’m working on describing a new ginseng (人参) species from Thailand and have also begun to describe a new grape species from Yunnan Province in southwest China.
I am a lucky scientist. Plants hybridize (杂交) like crazy in the wild. These kinds of processes, without proper tools, are impossible to figure out. Now we actually have various advanced tools to test our hypotheses (假设), to understand the patterns and the processes of plant evolution.
Some people may think my work is boring. But for me, it’s not. We’re trying to understand how humans can benefit from this vast plant diversity. Our science can teach us to conserve that plant diversity, so it can benefit not only us, but future generations. Also, our research encourages the new generation to carry on the torch.
24. What made the author decide to be a plant biologist?
A. Her early school life. B. Her grandfather’s guidance.
C. A teacher’s encouragement. D. A wonderful childhood adventure.
25. Why does the author consider herself a lucky scientist?
A. She is good at hybridizing various plants.
B. She has lots of opportunities to work in labs.
C. She is allowed to propose hypotheses in public.
D. She has many good tools to study plant evolution.
26. How does the author find her work?
A. Boring. B. Simple.
C. Impractical. D. Meaningful.
27. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A journal entry. B. An interview.
C. A biography. D. A science report.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. B

In a study in Australia, a seven-week cooking class was found to significantly improve mental health and well-being, physical health markers, confidence and life satisfaction — as well as the ability to change eating habits.
The story of the decline in physical and mental health in the Western world is well-known. An emphasis on work and study leads to the consumption of less nutritious food, which has exploded in availability as the decades have advanced. 67% of all Australians are overweight or obese, a figure which is nearly applicable to the American population.
An international team of researchers aimed to investigate if a course of seven 90-minutecooking classes could improve health outcomes by restoring confidence in people’s ability to cook for themselves at home.
“The 90-minute hands-on cooking session used a new recipe each week to support learning of skills and knowledge about nutritious foods, to enable increased cooking confidence, skill development and food literacy knowledge. In addition, participants were taught knife-handling skills and were given tips and advice about healthy options for how to boost flavor and create dishes using fresh foods to replace pre-prepared ingredients. Food-budget planning, kitchen economy and reduction of food waste were also covered,” the study reads.
Six months after the classes, the participants, 32% of whom had scores for physical health, mental health, and subjective vitality lower than the national average, all reported significant improvements.
A limitation of the study, the researchers note, could be that as the class was a group activity, it was simply the result of doing something constructive together with other people that resulted in the benefits.
However, as the improvements in mental and physical well-being were observed months after the classes concluded, one can suppose it’s due more to cooking knowledge gained during the seven-week cooking session and perhaps more time with family and friends over cooked meals.
28. What does the author try to do in the second paragraph?
A. Lead in a new topic for discussion. B. Offer examples for a conclusion.
C. Add some background information. D. Give some useful advice to readers.
29. What were the participants required to do during the cooking sessions?
A. Interact actively with group members. B. Replace fresh foods with processed ones.
C. Gain the knowledge about nutritious foods. D. Grow fresh vegetables in their own gardens.
30. What happened to the participants after taking the cooking classes?
A. Their general health greatly improved. B. They grew apart from their family.
C. They saved a lot of money on cooking. D. Their subjective vitality became lower.
31. What is the author’s opinion on the seven-week cooking class?
A. It has little to do with people’s health. B. It is too short to bring pleasant results.
C. It influences the participants temporarily. D. It benefits the participants in some way.
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】

Five years ago, French navy officer Jérôme Chardon was listening to a radio program about the journey of the bar-tailed godwit, a bird that migrates 14,000 kilometers between New Zealand and Alaska. Chardon understood how treacherous the journey would be, as heavy storms frequently hit Pacific island communities. Yet, somehow, bar-tailed godwits routinely pass through the area uninjured. Chardon wondered whether learning how birds traveled could help coastal communities avoid natural disasters.
This past January, a team from France’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) began experiments designed to test Chardon’s idea. Researchers with a project led by Frédéric Jiguet from NMNH equipped 56 birds of five species with cutting-edge animal tracking technology. The team members were ferried to remote islands in French Polynesia, where they attached tags (标签) using tracking technology. These tags sent the birds’ locations to the International Space Station, which bounced the data back to scientists on Earth who could then follow the birds — waiting to see how the birds responded to natural disasters.
The project is focusing on birds’ ability to hear infrasound, the low-frequency sound humans cannot hear but that the researchers believe is the most likely signal birds would use to sense storms and tsunamis (海啸). In a 2014 study, scientists tracking a kind of golden-winged birds in the central and southeastern America found that the birds flew up to 1,500 kilometers to escape from an outbreak of tornadoes (龙卷风) that killed 35 people. The birds fled at least 24 hours before any extreme weather hit, leaving the scientists to believe that they had heard the storm system from more than 400 kilometers away.
The team plans on tagging hundreds more birds across the Pacific to prepare for a potential tsunami. “I think if there’s one wave that spreads across islands, we can get data from different species at different locations,” says Jiguet. “That will say it’s worth continuing to tag and to develop local systems to better analyze this. There are chances that we will develop a bird-based tsunami early warning system.”
32. Which of the following best explains the word “treacherous” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Strange. B. Amazing. C. Dangerous. D. Frequent.
33. What is the function of the tags?
A. Tracking natural disasters. B. Distinguishing bird species.
C. Reporting the birds’ situations. D. Guiding researchers to islands.
34. Why is the 2014 study mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To prove an assumption. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To present a new topic. D. To make comparisons.
35. What might be the best title for the text?
A How Can Birds Avoid Natural Disasters?
B. Can Birds Warn Us of Natural Disasters?
C. How Does a Warning System Function?
D. Can Birds Play a Role in Human Research?
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。鸟类能提前感应到即将来临的自然灾害吗?针对此问题,法国国家自然历史博物馆的一个团队正在开展一项研究,这个研究有望利用鸟类开发自然灾害预警系统。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后的“as heavy storms frequently hit Pacific island communities(因为强风暴经常袭击太平洋岛屿社区)”和下文中的“Yet, somehow, bar-tailed godwits routinely pass through the area uninjured.(然而,不知何故,斑尾塍鹬经常毫发无损地穿过这片区域。)”可知,强风暴袭击是非常危险的情况,但是斑尾塍鹬却能不受伤害地穿过,由此可推测出,鸟的这段旅程非常危险,treacherous意为“危险的”,意思与dangerous 的意思最为接近。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These tags sent the birds’ locations to the International Space Station, which bounced the data back to scientists on Earth who could then follow the birds — waiting to see how the birds responded to natural disasters.(这些标签将这些鸟的位置发送给国际空间站,国际空间站将数据反馈给地球上的科学家,然后他们可以跟踪这些鸟,等待观察这些鸟对自然灾害的反应。)”可知,研究人员使用的标签会报告被追踪的鸟的位置。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“The project is focusing on birds’ ability to hear infrasound, the low-frequency sound humans cannot hear but that the researchers believe is the most likely signal birds would use to sense storms and tsunamis (海啸).(该项目的重点是鸟类听到次声的能力,这是人类听不到的低频声音,但研究人员认为这是鸟类最有可能用来感知风暴和海啸的信号。)”可知,第三段首先提出研究人员认为鸟类可能会利用次声来感知风暴和海啸的信号,然后“In a 2014 study, scientists tracking a kind of golden-winged birds in the central and southeastern America found that the birds flew up to 1,500 kilometers to escape from an outbreak of tornadoes (龙卷风) that killed 35 people. The birds fled at least 24 hours before any extreme weather hit, leaving the scientists to believe that they had heard the storm system from more than 400 kilometers away.(在2014年的一项研究中,科学家追踪了美国中部和东南部的一种金翼鸟,发现这些鸟飞了1500公里,逃离了导致35人死亡的龙卷风。这些鸟在任何极端天气袭击前至少24小时逃离,这让科学家们相信他们在400多公里外听到了风暴系统的声音。)”讲述了2014年的研究发现,由此可推测出,文中提到2014年的一个研究是为了证明研究人员的猜想。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是文章第一段中的“Chardon wondered whether learning how birds traveled could help coastal communities avoid natural disasters.(Chardon想知道了解鸟类如何迁徙是否可以帮助沿海社区避免自然灾害。)”可知,本文主要在探究鸟类是否能在自然灾害来临之前给予我们一些警示。B项“鸟类能警告我们自然灾害吗?”适合作本文标题。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了位于山西省谢州的关羽庙,这是全国众多关羽庙中最大的一座,正在得到保护和研究。
【56题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:关羽庙位于中国北部山西省谢州,是全国无数供奉这位将帅的寺庙中最大的一座,也是国家级重要的历史文化保护遗址。根据one among countless temples以及空前定冠词the可推知,此处表示“最大的”一座,应用形容词最高级largest。故填largest。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:2020年,谢州成立了一个研究民间关羽信仰背后文化的研究所,并聘请了8名研究生。分析句子可知,空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a research institute,先行词指物,在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which或that作引导词。故填which/that。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意:今年夏天,该研究所的研究人员正在为寺庙编年史,并研究寺庙中包含的传统文化精华。根据上文提到的a research institute可知,此处特指上文的这个“研究所”,应用the定冠词修饰。故填the。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在全国范围内,保护和研究历史文化遗产的目的是发现和学习中华传统文化,这是国家建设现代中华文明的努力之一。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词中的动词不定式to do作后置定语修饰efforts,the efforts to do“做出……的努力”为惯用表达。故填to build。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:全国重点文物保护单位共计达5058处。分析句子可知,此处为固定短语in total,意为“共计,总共”,且空处位于句首,in的首字母需大写。故填In。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些历史文化遗址见证了中华民族过去多年的悠久历史和灿烂文化,在建设现代中华文明的过程中,为我们提供了丰富的“精神养分”。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作伴随状语,witness和逻辑主语the historical and cultural sites为主动关系,所以用现在分词形式,且空处位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Witnessing。
【62题详解】
考查代词。句意:这些历史文化遗址见证了中华民族过去多年的悠久历史和灿烂文化,在建设现代中华文明的过程中,为我们提供了丰富的“精神养分”。由空前offer为谓语动词可知,此处应用代词宾格形式,构成动词短语offer sb sth“提供某物给某人”。故填us。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在山西,由于人手不足,当地的保护工作遇到了麻烦,2022年启动了一个项目,共招收600名学生,为期五年,专门为全省117个需要保护专业人员的地方招收。分析句子可知,此处为with的复合结构,动词trouble应为非谓语形式,trouble与protection work逻辑上是被动关系,所以用trouble的过去分词形式。故填troubled。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意:在山西,由于人手不足,当地的保护工作遇到了麻烦,2022年启动了一个项目,共招收600名学生,为期五年,专门为全省117个需要保护专业人员的地方招收。分析句子可知,此处为副词specifically作状语,修饰后面介词短语。故填specifically。
【65题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:这些学生将在大学期间接受文物保护方面的通识教育。分析句子可知,空处为谓语动词,offer和主语students之间是被动关系,所以应用被动语态,结合空前will可知,空处应为be done形式。故填be offered。

67. 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。
I didn’t see the thin plastic tape running across the bread bag when I put the bread in my shopping cart or when I checked out. It wasn’t until I unpacked the bread at home that I realized that I’d broken the rules again.
That stupid plastic tape joined the long list of mistakes I made in just one week of trying to eat plastic-free. Last month, I challenged myself to purchase a week’s worth of food without bringing home any plastic. That meant no yogurt containers or plastic packages.
I chose a budget of $115 (roughly half-way between the average weekly grocery bill for a family of two in Massachusetts). On Saturday afternoon, I pulled into the parking lot of a well-known zero-waste shopping center.
I started in the produce section, where I typically got a plastic bag of organic baby carrots. This time, I could not go there because every vegetable in the organic section was packed in plastic containers. But I found some beautiful carrots among the non-organic produce. Then I saw the plastic price labels hanging off their rubber bands. I rolled my cart past the green beans and grapes, all inside the plastic. I weighed loose apples, onions and sweet potatoes. My anxiety kicked in — a feeling that I wouldn’t have enough. So, I bought a head of cabbage.
I tapped prices into the calculator on my phone. Leaving the produce section, I was in good shape, at $32. It was time to search for protein.
I headed to the meat counter. Again, everything was prepackaged in plastic. But the man behind the glass kindly agreed to put some chicken and meat, separately, in paper bags. Together they were $21.
Tofu, cheese, yogurt and pretty much everything in the dairy section were prepackaged in plastic. Even the bottled milk had a plastic cap. But there were lots of eggs in those paper bags.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At checkout, I still had $62 left but I could not find anything else without plastic.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the moment, I realized that perhaps I shouldn’t have had aimed too high.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 At checkout, I still had $62 left but I could not find anything else without plastic. So I became a little bit angry and complained to the manager that there were too many things I couldn’t buy plastic-free. There was no dairy or juice. He said he’s interested in using more recyclable containers, but they were much more expensive. He also told me that it’s hard to add that cost to the price of food, and that paper bags for nuts, beans or snacks weren’t as attractive on shelves as plastic bags.
At the moment, I realized that perhaps I shouldn’t have had aimed too high. After all, most customers had to shop with their eyes on their wallets. The major plastic producers could not be closed down immediately. Thus, I decided to just reduce the plastic that I used once and threw away. Anyway, I was happy that I avoided using 27 plastic containers in the week. Maybe I could do better.
