B Johnson was fascinated by nature as a child and would often go on long walks with her mother,who pointed out the names of wild flowers and trees.After beginning her writing career, she satisfied her love of animals by adopting cats and several dogs.Yet her introduction to the world of hedgehogs (came through her own role as a mother. In 2023.her only child,Alfie,was due to begin university in Cambridge and Johnson was faced with the prospect of an empty home."I had a friend whose son was leaving home and she was so frightened of it happening.I knew I needed to plan ahead and keep myself occupied to avoid feeling the same,"she says."A few members of my Women's Institute group had been volunteering with Hodmedods Hedgehog Support(HHS),and it seemed like a worthy cause.I decided to join them." 4 Johnson volunteered to be a hedgehog driver,ready to transport the animals in need to safety. On call throughout the week,Johnson soon found herself travelling across Norwich and hunting for hedgehogs.She picked the hedgehog up very carefully,placed it into the box and rushed it a local sanctuary(鸟普保护区).Her duty is to rescue injured hedgehogs,ones found on private property that need rehoming,and babies that have beer abandoned. A year on from her first rescue,Johnson estimates that she has completed close to 30 rescues. With birthing season around the comer,Johnson is preparing for her busiest time of the year, looking after hoglets and the new mums."They're not just cute but they're also amazing animals, native to our country,that need protecting,"she says."Housing developments put them at risk,as well as people cutting down hedges and putting up fences they can't travel through." Johnson's own garden has become a shelter for the creatures.The animals have also provided CS扫描全能王 】亿人在用的扫描A the inspiration for her writing.Her next novel,Prickly Company,tells the story of a woman who becomes passionate about creating a hedgehog highway through her neighbours'gardens and discovers their secrets in the process. 24.Why did Johnson join Hodmedods Hedgehog Support? ,食《厚小：心共许二 A.She had similar experiences.

C Some people prefer paperbacks because they're easy to borrow and share.Others will go for e-readers.But which is the more environmentally sustainable option? Whether it's better to read books in print or on a device is complicated,because of the complex interaction of the resources involved across the entire lifecycle of a published work:how books and devices are shipped,what energy they use to run,if they can be recycled. On the one side,traditional print publishing comes with a high carbon footprint.According to 2023 data,32 million trees are cut down each year to make paper for books.Then there's the energy-intensive processes of printing and shipping-to say nothing of the many books that are destroyed because they remain unsold.Although it's standard practice in the industry,publishers don't want to destroy books.So instead,many are donating unsold copies,switching to on- demand printing.Publishers are also rethinking book design,since certain fonts (can be more climate-friendly by using less ink and less paper. On the other hand,digital reading seems to have a considerable eco-advantage over print because it is paperless,so it saves trees and shipping.Moreover,tech companies that make e- 高二英语试卷第5页共11页 C扫描全能王 亿人幕在用的扫描 readers such as Amazon ofer recyeling programs for old devices.But digital devicesame with a substantial carbon footprint,especially at the manufacturing stage.Their cases are made with plastics and the minerals in their batteries require resource-heavy mining. Figuring out whether to take a digital device or a paperback to the beach ultimately depends on how much you read."If you buy an e-reader and you read loads and loads of books on it,then it's the lowest carbon thing to do,"said Mike Bemers-Lee,the author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything."But if I buy it,read a couple of books,and decide that I prefer paperback books,then it's the worst of all worlds." Yet Bemers-Lec said that reading is still,relatively speaking.a pretty sustainable activity- -regardless of whether you read using an e-reader,phone or old-fashioned paperback. 28.Why is it hard to tell if print or digital books are more eco-friendly? A.The whole processes for both involve many resources. B.The option depends on the reader's personal preferences. C.Recyeling programs are not equally effective for both types. D.The environmental impact of reading habits is often overlooked. 29.What are book publishers doing to reduce the environmental impact? A.Cutting down fewer trees. B.Destroying the unsold books. C.Employing eco-friendly practices. D.Focusing on the sales of digital books. 30.According to Berers-Lee,an e-reader is more sustainable than paperbacks when A.an e-reader is shared by many people B.you charge it using renewable energy C.an e-reader is recycled after being used D.you read a high volume of books digitally 31.Which is the most suitable title for the text? A.Print books vs.e-readers:which is your favorite? B.Paper books vs.e-readers:which is better for the climate? C.Choose digital reading,for it reduces more carbon footprint. D.Keep the balance of convenience and sustainability in reading. D We are all guilty of grabbing our phones and scrolling through social media when times get boring.Psychologists have noted in numerous studies over the past decade that individuals engage in social media and other digital media to escape boredom.However,the same studies reveal that 高二英语试卷第6页共11页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap时 consuming such media can actually increase boredom in individuals. That result may be a product of constantly"switching"between different content online.the endless pursuit of the next piece of media to alleviate present boredom. To investigate the role that fast-forwarding and switching videos has in boredom,Dr Katy Tam,the lead author of the research and researchers performed two experiments on about 1,200 people.In the first trial,the study participants had two viewing experiences.They both watched a 10-minute video without the option to switch or fast-forward and then had a 10-minute period where they could switch between seven 5-minute videos.In the second experiment,participants watched a 10-minute video in one round and in the other round were allowed to fast-forward or rewind through a 50-minute video. Participants predicted they would be less bored with the option to switch or fast-forward for both experiments but reported afterward that they found watching one video all the way through to be more engaging,satisfying and meaningful. Tam said boredom was closely linked to attention."We feel bored when there's a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be,"she said,"When people keep switching through videos,they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting.This can lead to increased feelings of boredom." Finally,said Tam,it could be worth taking your time before hitting the fast-forward or skip buttons."Our research shows that while people fast-forward or skip videos to avoid boredom,this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,"she said."Just as we pay for an immersive (experience in a movie theatre,enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping(滚屏)through them.” 32.What does the underlined word"alleviate"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Ease. B.Understand. C.Define. 1 D.Justify. 33.Tam's study found that participants reported higher levels of boredom when A.the length of a video was too long. B.the video content was played repeatedly. C.they switched between videos and within video. D.they watched the same video through to the end. 34.What did Tam present in paragraph 5? A.Ways of watching videos. B.The design of his experiment. C.Examples of divided attention. D.The cause of people's boredom. 35.What was Tam's suggestion in the last paragraph? A.Pay for a viewing experience. 高二英语试卷第7页共11而 C3扫描全能王 亿人幕在用的扫描 B.Refer to the ratings before watching videos. C.Go to a cinema for an immersive experience.
