B It's often said that people who are born blind or lose their sight,especially when young, can touch,taste,smell,and hear better than those who can see.Donna Posont,who is blind, helps others use their enhanced hearing to detect thousands of bird songs. Posont is a graduate of the University of Michigan-Dearborn.She leads a monthly program she founded at the college.It's called Birding by Ear and Beyond.It's held on Saturday each month.During the program,Posont leads visually-impaired people through 120 acres of campus forest.They listen for the sounds of many birds.These include crows,geese, chickadees,woodpeckers,robins,and red-winged blackbirds. Participants learn to tell the sometimes subtle differences between bird species.They also learn how each bird fits into their habitat."The world is designed for sighted people,but nature is a special place where it's okay to be blind,"Posont told The Washington Post."You can use your other senses to learn why birds and nature are important and how it all works (as one).To me,that's the beauty of it. Posont is 67 years old.She has been blind since second grade.She was born with retinitis pigmentosa.It's a worsening condition that affects the back wall of the eye.She graduated in environmental studies from the college.She's also a certified interpretive guide and part-time naturalist at Michigan-Dearborn. Jerusalem Crawley first met Posont at a summer camp for the visually impaired.He's been attending her classes for 15 years.As a child,Crawley said he had no idea there were thousands of bird species."I used to think all birds were alike,"Crawley told Audubon Magazine..This“opened my eyes,”he said.. Through her program,Posont not only helps visually impaired individuals connect with 【英语第3页（共8页）】 nature but also inspires them to challenge their perceptions and embrace the world through a different lens.The ability to identify birds by ear becomes a gateway to understanding the relationships within ecosystems and the value of nature. 24.What does Posont's program focus on? A.Training blind people to be nature guides. B.Providing blind people a safe outdoor space. C.Helping blind people identify birds by sound. D.Leading blind people to protect campus forest. 25.Why does Posont think nature is a special place for blind people? A.Nature helps people learn about birds'habitat. B.Nature benefits blind people's physical health. C.Blind people can study the behavior of wildlife. D.Blind people can experience nature with other senses. 26.What can you infer from the last paragraph? A.The process of Posont's program. B.The challenge of Posont's program. C.The development of Posont's program. D.The significance of Posont's program. 27.Which would be the best title for the text? A.Birding by Ear:A Program for the Blind B.Beauty of Nature:A Journey of Discovery C.Natural Sound:A Journey to the Unknown D.Donna Posont:A Volunteer for Bird Protection C Where were the dull sounds of flying insects hitting against the light bulb?Even the absent singing of cicadas or crickets,whichever they were,had quieted its instruments. Where have all the insects gone? Our own existence depends on a diverse insect world.Studies show that where more insect species are present,pollination (is more reliable.As Dave Goulson,professor of biology,points out in his book Silent Earth:Averting the Insect Apocalypse,about three- quarters of all crops grown by humans require pollination by animals,the vast majority by insects."We could not feed the global human population without pollinators,he writes.It's not just about bees and butterflies,the beautiful insects.Other,less visually appealing pollinators such as flies,moths,and earwigs are also showing declines.Several of these species don't just pollinate.They also eat the pest (insects that ruin crops. It turns out that ecologists and entomologists around the world have been warning about declining insect numbers for years.The culprits are climate change,habitat loss,light pollution,intensive farming,pesticide and fertilizer use. But it's a struggle to get people to act.After all,we humans have a complicated relationship with our six-legged fellow companions.Who can forget the horror of Kafka's Metamor phosis(《变形记》)，where a travelling salesman wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into an insect?Even insects like butterflies and bees can seem strange when you look at them closely.Maybe we've been ignoring them because they seem different from us. Some steps may be as simple as turning off artificial light.A recent study in China found that trees in Beijing,lit by street lights at night,seem to have tougher leaves.In other words,insects are probably being starved in the area. We should change our attitudes to insects.Those annoying flies hovering around your food are simply doing what they were born for.They're recycling.Without them we might be wondering what to do about rotting (waste.Besides,they're food for birds,and UK bird populations have greatly decreased in recent years. 【英语第4页（共8页）】 28.What can we learn about insects in the first two paragraphs? A.Less appealing insects are on the increase. B.Beautiful insects can help kill the pests. C.Insect pollination affects the crop types. D.Insect decline threatens global food supply. 29.What does the underlined word "culprits"mean in paragraph 3? A.Solutions. B.Causes. C.Effects. D.Consequences. 30.What does the author want to say by mentioning Kafka's Metamorphosis? A.The book of insects is interesting. B.Unattractive insects are ignored. C.Insects are everywhere in our lives. D.People have complex feelings to insects. 31.What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A.To explore the diversity of the insects. B.To compare the different features of insects. C.To warn about the insect decline and its effects. D.To review the history of human-insect relationship. D How important are the first three episodes (to a show?The first three episodes of a drama are crucial for keeping viewers engaged.Tencent Video data suggests that almost 40% of viewers abandon a show within the first three episodes,with 35%of those abandoning it within the first seven minutes of the first episode. But now,the old rules of judging a show by its first few episodes are fading.The audience has developed from the double-speed watching at the beginning to the commentary- style(弹幕式)watching,and then to the fragmented(碎片化)watching that is appearing now.The audience's speed of watching shows has been speeding up. When the audience is more and more casual in watching shows,we can't help but ask,is it because shows nowadays are bad?Or is it because the audience is impatient?For young people who are active on social media,they have many choices.When a new show comes out, they will not watch the first three episodes,but go to Weibo,Douban and other social media platforms to watch short video clips.When a show can't get popular in the first week,it basically fails. The poet Coleridge said"Water,water everywhere,but not a drop to drink."This explains the value of short videos:in the crowded field of information,you can't get any useful knowledge.Watching shows by short videos is different from watching movies or reading novels.While we are surrounded by short videos,finding real knowledge is a struggle.Short videos offer instant satisfaction but lack depth,finally destroying the artistic value of film and television.This constant stream of fragmented information can make us lazy thinkers. Nowadays,people don't have the patience to watch a movie,a famous book,or an in- depth article.Neil Postman's warning that we're becoming "amused to death"is proving true. 32.What does the data from Tencent Video suggest? A.Viewers'expectation for shows. B.Viewers'impatience with shows. C.Viewers'opinions on making shows. D.Viewers'reasons for abandoning shows. 33.Why have the audience changed their habits of watching shows? A.The shows have become longer today. B.The quality of shows has decreased greatly. C.Audience may not like watching shows as before. D.Social media provides many choices of short videos. 【英语第5页（共8页）】 34.What is the influence of watching shows by short videos? A.It will reduce viewers'confusion. B.It will narrow viewers'horizon. C.It will weaken viewers'thinking abilities. D.It will provide viewers useful knowledge. 35.How does the author feel about the change in watching shows? A.Worried. B.Surprised. C.Uncertain. D.Satisfied. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Simple Yet Amazing Ways to Get Wisdom Wisdom is not just a good quality to have but it is also very necessary.As we accumulate wisdom in life,we might become competent in handling all the difficulties.36 Try experiencing new opportunities.

Still,I went into the 7-mile course with no training,accompanied by my old friend Abel. This guy bikes and runs countless miles,often in the same day.And he has done dozens of Spartan Races(斯巴达勇士赛)，which are courses that require you to crawl through mud,flip tires and throw spears. We've been taken part in the race almost every year since we were in senior high.I peaked about 15 years ago but my athletic performance has been steadily declining ever since. That wasn't enough of a challenge for Abel.When I messaged him chat to let him know what time I'd pick him up Saturday morning,he said he didn't need a ride.He was going to ride his pedals there. He set out in the dark at 4 a.m.to meet us at 10 a.m.We arrived at almost exactly the same time.After biking for hours,he stretched a bit,then beat me by nine minutes in a 7-mile run.He's probably not even sore today. As for me,I did better than I thought I would.Between miles 4 and 5,I felt so good that I wondered why I only do this once a year.Then I hit mile 6,and my body reminded me:the going got tough. Usually,my breathing gives out first.I just can't get enough air to keep my clumsy body moving.This time,it was my legs.I pushed hard,but with a mile left,my body just couldn't take it anymore.Abel,on the other hand,seemed to be maintaining a steady pace.He passed me effortlessly.Still,I can honestly say I gave everything I had.I slowly made my way to the finish line,feeling dizzy and on the verge of collapse. 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。 I felt dizzy and saw other runners passing by. Hearing his words,I felt a surge of strength. 【英语第8页（共8页）】
