B Growing up in a small village Begur.Divakar recalls,"Our village lost its existence with a rapid expansion of Bangalore city.Because of this,families like ours,who depended on farming,lost their source of income.My father was forced to buy land around 100 km away from the city to continue farming.He never let us help on the land as he wanted us to focus on our studies and leave his farming roots behind." Divakar grew up to become a project scientist at the India Space Research Organization.He remained completely disconnected from his farming roots until 2009 when his father suffered a serious illness that left him unable to move.That was when Divakar chose to return to his father and started his farming life. Initially,Divakar grew crops like local farmers but had much smaller earnings compared to his previous work despite hard work.In order to stand out in the farming crowd,Divakar intended to grow a different crop.After thorough research,he turned to dates ()-a crop grown in the hot desert of countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Divakar bought 150 costly young trees and put in considerable effort to enhance the conditions for their growth.Yet,he did not get any return in the first several years."My mother reminded me why my father did not want me to pursue a farming career.I felt 高二英语第6页，共12页 like I was at a crossroads in life but I trusted my heart,"he says.It was only after four and a half years that Divakar saw the first flowering;his joy was beyond description. Today,he can get a generous harvest,and planting dates has earned him significant recognition. Referring to today's generation,Divakar says,"People these days think it exciting to quit current jobs and take up farming.Many come to me and inquire about investment and profit.Farming comes with its own set of challenges and without any guaranteed success regardless of the best practices one adopts.Farming is not a real-estate business that you will get double the investment in a brief period.They need to measure what they truly value.For me,inner peace is more important than money." 56.How did a rapid expansion of Bangalore city affect Divakar's family? A.They started a new business. B.They suffered financial losses. C.They moved to a bigger village. D.They became wealthy in the city. 57.What drove Divakar to reconnect with his farming roots? A.A desire for a simpler life B.Encouragement from his family. C.His father's poor health condition. D.The envy of other farmers'success. 58.Which of the following shows Divakar's initial farming experience? A.Enjoyable. B.Rewarding. C.Unchallenging. D.Struggling. 59.What does Divakar convey to today's generation wanting to pursue a farming career? A.Think twice before you act. B.Every cloud has a silver lining. C.What goes around comes around. D.A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. 60.What can be the best title for the text? A.A Quick Profit from Farming B.The state of producing a profit of Date Farming C.The Challenges of Modern Farming D.A Journey Back to the Farming Roots C Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you went there,or been about to speak but suddenly realized you had no idea what you were going to say?The human brain normally balances countless inputs,thoughts and actions,but sometimes,it seems to short-circuit().So what really happens? Understanding why we forget first requires us to tear down the myth about memory. 高二英第7女，共12页 "It is generally believed that memory is just one thing,"said Susanne Jaeggi.a professor of psychology."Indeed,there are very different components of memory,and they're also related to different cognitive(认知的)processes.” There are two different types of memory:long-term and working memory.The former is a broad category of memories that involve experience and skills stored in the brain for extended periods.On the other hand,thoughts in working memory are only present for a brief period. “Working memory is like the sketchpad(速写本)of conscious thought,.”said Earl K.Miller.a professor of neuroscience at MIT "Every piece of new information.inner dialogue and sensory input is routed through working memory and certain characteristics of working memory explain hy we forget those thoughts." First,psychologists estimate that people ean hold only about four to seven"chunks" (of information -such as letters,digits,words or phrases-in their working memory at a time.Rather than being aware of all of these"chunks"all at once,the brain bounces around from one idea to another,making it more likely to forget one. Second,the brain quickly eradicates unimportant things from working memory to make room for new information.So unless those short-term memories are transferred into long-term memories,they'll soon disappear. But for those who regularly struggle with thoughts slipping their mind,Jaeggi and Miller have some words to say.In the first place,Miller says multitasking makes forgetting more likely.Jaeggi mentions if you walk into a room and forget why you went in there,go back into the room you were before.The context clues might give the brain the extra boost it needs to reach back a few seconds in working memory and bring back the thought that's already gone. 61.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A.Human brains can be easily overloaded. B.Human brains experience occasional memory slips. C.Human brains are sensitive to a short circuit condition. D.Human brains frequently switch between different tasks. 62.What common misunderstanding about memory does Jaeggi aim to correct? A.It can be extended via techniques. B.It relies much on external factors. C.It is always accurate and reliable. D.It is a single and simple process. 63.What role does working memory serve as according to Earl K.Miller? A.A strategy for making multitasking brains. 高二英语第8贞，共12页 B.A place for recording experience and skills. C.A temporary space for processing information. D.A tool for increasing the amount of sensory input. 64.What does the underlined word"eradicates"in paragraph 6 mean? A.gets rid of. B.Focuses on. C.Gets hold of. D.Keeps pace with. 65.What is Jaeggi's suggestion for recovering a lost thought? A.Setting a reminder ahead of time. B.Returning to the previous context C.Centering on the new task at hand. D.Visualizing the thought in your mind D Over the past 300 years,1.5 billion hectares (of forest have been lost, resulting in biodiversity loss,desertification,and increased flooding risks. In the book Treewilding,ecologist Jake Robinson explains while the solution to forest clearing might appear straightforward-simply plant millions of trees-the reality is far more confusing.Random tree planting can threaten ecosystems and the livelihoods of local communities. This charming book mainly reveals how a well-developed approach is required- one that integrates (the latest scientific advancements,for instance.Treewilding asks us to reflect on our intesconnectedness(相互联系)with the woods,.a realization that is perhaps the biggest"secret"to restoring nature. Tree-planting initiatives have exploded since the turn of the century.Globally,the area of planted forests rose from 170 million hectares in 1990 to 293 million hectares in 2024.However,unless thoroughly researched and well organized,tree planting can backfire. Often,only one type of tree is planted across pieces of land.This reduces biodiversity, in terms of plant species and the wildlife and micro-organisms associated with them. Because trees of the same species can all fall victim to the same diseases,a whole forest can be wiped out at once.Moreover,non-native trees can beat local species,disturbing the local balanced ecosystems. To solve environmental crises,Robinson advocates a more informed strategy.He speaks to Forrest Fleischman,a specialist in forest and environmental policy,who highlights how local people depend on forests for highly self-sufficient agricultural activities.Fleischman also proposes that locals know well what species are best suited to the environment and how these species are interconnected with the local wildlife and ecosystem. 高二英语第9页，共12页 The author also describes the concept of ecoacoustics(生态声学).The approach uses the sounds made by organisms including birds and bats to explore the composition of and changes in ecosystems.Working with ecoacoustics specialist Carlos Abrahams,Robinson concludes that as forests are recovered,the number of animals hidden in the soil increases,producing an"underground soundscape-a hidden symphony of life". Robinson ultimately emphasizes natural regeneration-just as a phoenix(a mythical bird)is reborn from its own ashes ()a damaged forest can regenerate itself. 66.What is the main focus of Jake Robinson's Treewilding? A.The importance of technology in modern agriculture. B.The changes of global forests over the past 300 years. C.Major benefits of maintaining healthy ecosystems. D.Effective methods in solving the loss of forests. 67.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "backfire"in paragraph 4? A.Lead to negative outcomes. B.Produce predictable results. C.Facilitate relevant initiatives. D.Encourage sustainable growth. 68.What might Fleischman expect tree-planting organizers to do? A.Increase the number of non-native species planted. B.Standardize planting practices across different regions C.Take natives'knowledge in planting processes into consideration. D.Encourage locals to adopt advanced agricultural methods at once. 69.What insight can researchers gain through the ecoacoustics approach? A.The economic benefits of forest recovery. B.The health and biodiversity of ecosystems C.A better understanding of local soil composition. D.A potential change of forest temperature over time. 70.What can be the best title for the text? A.Forest clearing poses a serious threat to us B.Repairing forests is more than just planting trees C.Natural regeneration is the key to ecosystem restoration D.The underground soundscape allows us to know nature better 高二英语第10页，共12页
