Then, at 20, I was introduced to photographer David Liittschwager, who hired me to help him with a magazine assignment on marine life. David’s assignment was to document the amazing biodiversity found in the ocean. My role was to collect specimens for him to photograph. Every night, I would cast a floating lamp. Like moths drawn to a flame, mysterious creatures would emerge from the depths in search of this light. I’d then set up aquariums to house them as they waited for David to take their shot. Those evenings made me feel as if I were on another planet. I had never imagined such strange life-forms could exist in our oceans. But I didn’t grasp the true magic of what was in front of me until I saw the photographs David took. The biggest surprise was his image of a baby flounder. I caught this fish by accident. Only later did I notice its two tiny eyeballs staring back at me. But David’s photograph of this flounder revealed a universe of detail that even my eager eyes had missed. His macro lens magnified its ribs (肋骨). The lightning-fast exposure froze its motion. A precisely aimed light released the rainbow hidden in its skin. And the black background removed all distractions to focus our attention on the quiet beauty at hand. Years after that project, I was snorkeling (潜泳) on a shallow reef. Out of the darkness, another baby flounder emerged and settled on my mask. This time I knew what to look for. Before working for David, I had assumed the goal of photography was simply to reproduce an observation so that others could share the same experience. It had never occurred to me that photography could expand our visual perception and therefore teach us to look at the world from new perspectives. 4. What was the author’s role in the magazine assignment? A. Photographing the marine life. B. Documenting the amazing biodiversity. C. Building an aquarium for marine research. D. Attracting and gathering species of marine life. 5. What surprised the author about the image of a baby flounder? A. The advanced techniques of lighting. B. The strange appearance of the small fish. C. The accurate display of its comprehensive details. D. The unexpected effect of background processing. 6. What can we infer about the author from the text? A. He launched a local snorkeling project. B. He achieved his dream by taking up photography. C. The project motivated him to start ocean research. D. The experience changed his view of photography. 7. What is the true magic of photography? A. To record an observation result. B. To help people see the world anew. C. To share one’s specific experience. D. To reveal visible wonders of the world. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者在协助摄影师David Liittschwager拍摄海洋生物的过程中，改变了对摄影的看法，认识到摄影不仅是记录，还能拓展视觉感知。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“My role was to collect specimens for him to photograph. Every night, I would cast a floating lamp. Like moths drawn to a flame, mysterious creatures would emerge from the depths in search of this light. I’d then set up aquariums to house them as they waited for David to take their shot.(我的职责是收集标本供他拍照。每天晚上，我都会投一盏浮灯。就像飞蛾被火焰吸引一样，神秘的生物会从深处出现，寻找这种光。然后，我为它们搭建了水族馆，让它们在等待大卫拍摄时栖息)”可知，作者的任务是吸引和收集海洋生物的物种，供David的拍照。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“But David’s photograph of this flounder revealed a universe of detail that even my eager eyes had missed. His macro lens magnified its ribs (肋骨). The lightning-fast exposure froze its motion. A precisely aimed light released the rainbow hidden in its skin. And the black background removed all distractions to focus our attention on the quiet beauty at hand.(但大卫的这张比目鱼照片揭示了一个细节的宇宙，即使是我热切的眼睛也错过了。他的微距镜头放大了它的肋骨。闪电般的曝光冻结了它的运动。一束精确瞄准的光线释放出隐藏在它皮肤里的彩虹。黑色背景消除了所有干扰，使我们的注意力集中在眼前的宁静美景上)”可知，大卫的照片展示了比目鱼的许多细节，这些细节是作者之前没有注意到的。由此可知，作者对小比目鱼的照片感到惊讶是因为它展示了全面的细节。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Before working for David, I had assumed the goal of photography was simply to reproduce an observation so that others could share the same experience. It had never occurred to me that photography could expand our visual perception and therefore teach us to look at the world from new perspectives.(在为大卫工作之前，我曾认为摄影的目标只是再现观察结果，以便其他人可以分享同样的经历。我从未想过摄影可以扩展我们的视觉感知，从而教会我们从新的角度看待世界)”可知，在为大卫工作之前，作者认为摄影的目标仅仅是再现观察，以便其他人分享相同的体验。但这段经历让他意识到摄影可以扩展我们的视觉感知，教我们从新的视角看待世界。由此推可知，这次经历改变了作者对摄影的看法。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It had never occurred to me that photography could expand our visual perception and therefore teach us to look at the world from new perspectives.(我从未想过摄影可以扩展我们的视觉感知，从而教会我们从新的角度看待世界)”可推知，摄影的真正魔力在于帮助人们以新的视角看待世界。故选B。 C The farms of the future may look very different from that of today. That’s because farms do not have to be outside anymore. They also won’t have to be above ground. In London, 100 feet below the streets there was a huge empty space. Richard Ballard and Steven Dring, founders of the company Growing Underground, thought it would be an ideal spot to build a hydroponic (水栽的) farm. After all, these types of farms are doing well in other indoor spaces. Founded in 2015 Growing Underground’s farm grows microgreens and salad leaves using hydroponic technology that grows plants in water but not soil. In fact, the company said that its hydroponic technology allows for the perfect pest-free growing environment. These methods use about 70 percent water less than traditional field agriculture and all the nutrients are kept within a closed circle system. They can grow the greens all year round because they are not affected by weather or growing seasons. But it is the LED lighting system that is the key to growing food underground. Ballard said, “Already, LEDs allow the growers to change the flavor of the greens, as their sugars and starches develop differently under different light spectrums (光谱).” Right now, the company only sells greens with a lot of leaves because they are the only crops that grow fast enough to be economically feasible but Ballard believes that will change. “As technologies improve, you’ll see soft fruits, cucumbers, peppers,” he said. The company’s goal is to keep food local. They say that all of the greens can be in your kitchen within four hours of being picked. They currently sell to local restaurants in London, but they hope to be entering the local groceries soon. 8. What makes the underground farm possible? A. The rich soil. B. The great demand for fruits. C. The hydroponic technology. D. The good weather condition. 9. What is the function of the LED lighting system? A. To get rid of pests. B. To increase the temperature of underground farm. C. To allow greens to grow rapidly. D. To provide various light spectrums. 10. What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Difficult. B. Challenged. C. Impossible. D. Achievable. 11. What does the company expect of the underground farm? A. It’ll benefit more customers. B. It’ll be environment-friendly. C. It’ll keep food fresher for longer. D. It’ll use the latest technology. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。Growing Underground公司使用水培技术在地下打造种植农场。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In fact, the company said that its hydroponic technology allows for the perfect pest-free growing environment.(事实上，该公司表示，其水培技术可以提供完美的无害虫的生长环境)”可知，在地下农场中使用水培技术可以打造无害虫的植物生长环境。由此推知，正是水培技术使得地下农场成为可能。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Already, LEDs allow the growers to change the flavor of the greens, as their sugars and starches develop differently under different light spectrums.(LED已经可以让种植者改变绿色蔬菜的味道，因为它们的糖和淀粉在不同的光谱下发育不同。)”可推知，LED照明系统为地下农场提供了多样化的光谱，让糖分和淀粉在不同的光谱下发生不同的变化，从而改变绿色蔬菜的味道。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“the company only sells greens with a lot of leaves because they are the only crops that grow fast enough...”可知，该公司目前仅销售多叶的绿色蔬菜，这是因为它们长得足够快，再结合常识和副词economically可推知，销售长得快的蔬菜是为了实现经济上的可行性。划线词feasible与achievable意思相近，指“可实现的，可行的”。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They currently sell to local restaurants in London, but they hope to be entering the local groceries soon.(他们目前在伦敦当地的餐馆销售，但他们希望很快进入当地的杂货店。)”可推知，公司希望地下农场生产处的蔬菜能够在更多的地方普及，从而能够惠及更多客户。故选A项。 D A theme at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Switzerland was the perceived need to “speed up breakthroughs in research and technology.” Some of this framing was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world’s problems, scientific research needs to move faster. The WEF mindset is similar to the Silicon Valley dictate — to move fast and break things. But what if the thing being broken is science? Or public trust? The WEF meeting took place just two weeks after Harvard University President Claudine Gay stepped down after complaints were made about her political science scholarship. In response, Gay requested corrections to several of her papers. Although it may be impossible to determine just how widespread such problems really are, it’s hard to imagine that the scene of high-profile scholars correcting and retracting papers has not had a negative impact on public trust in science and perhaps in experts broadly. In recent years we’ve seen important papers, written by outstanding scientists and published in celebrated journals, retracted because of questionable data or methods, hence a question: Are scholars at supercompetitive places such as Harvard and Stanford rushing to publish rather than taking the time to do their work right? It’s impossible to answer this question scientifically because there’s no scientific definition of what constitutes “rushing.” But there’s little doubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under tremendous pressure to produce results — and a lot of them — quickly. The problem is not unique to the U. S. In Europe, formal research assessments — which are used to allocate (分配) future funding — have for years judged academic departments largely on the quantity of their output. A recent reform urging an emphasis on quality over quantity allowed that the existing system had created “counterincentives.” Good science takes time. More than 50 years elapsed between the 1543 publication of Copernicus’s On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept geophysicist Alfred Wegener’s idea of continental drift. There’s plenty of circumstantial evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. Consider the sheer volume of academic papers being published these days. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Some of this growth is driven by more scientists and more co-authorship of papers, but the numbers also suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down if we are to produce knowledge worthy of trust. 12. WEF meeting in Switzerland advocated that ________. A. researchers need to achieve breakthroughs more rapidly B. public trust in science is not supposed to be easily broken C. WEF and Silicon Valley reach an agreement to move fast D. climate emergency and AI push scientific research hard 13. Which of the following examples fails to prove that good science takes time? A. Gay’s correction and retraction of papers. B. Publication of Copernicus’s theory. C. High-profile scholars’ tremendous output. D. Acceptance of the idea of continental drift. 14. The underlined word “counterincentives” in para. 5 probably means ________. A. measures to increase quantities of output B. discouragements of high quality papers C. rewards for leading universities’ research D. contradictory motives for future funding 15. Which of the following is best title of the passage? A. WEF Coincides with Silicon Valley B. Collapse of Public Trust C. Dilemma between Quantity and Quality D. Trouble in the Fast Lane 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学研究被期望快速进展的困境，并指出这种快节奏的研究可能会带来的问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A theme at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Switzerland was the perceived need to “speed up breakthroughs in research and technology.” Some of this framing was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world’s problems, scientific research needs to move faster.”（今年在瑞士举行的世界经济论坛(WEF)会议的一个主题是人们认为有必要“加快研究和技术的突破”。其中一些框架是由气候紧急情况推动的，另一些是由可生成人工智能带来的机遇和挑战推动的。然而，在各种对话中，人们似乎理所当然地认为，要解决世界上的问题，科学研究需要加快步伐。）可知，在瑞士召开的世界经济论坛会议主张，研究人员需要更快地取得突破。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“It’s impossible to answer this question scientifically because there’s no scientific definition of what constitutes “rushing. ”But there’s little doubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under tremendous pressure to produce results — and a lot of them — quickly.”（科学地回答这个问题是不可能的，因为对于什么是“匆忙”并没有科学的定义。但毫无疑问的是，我们生活在这样一种文化中：一流大学的学者们承受着巨大的压力，必须迅速做出成果——而且是大量成果）可知，C选项“知名学者的巨大成果。”只能解释成果巨大，并不能解释良好的科学需要时间。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“The problem is not unique to the U. S. In Europe, formal research assessments — which are used to allocate (分配) future funding — have for years judged academic departments largely on the quantity of their output. A recent reform urging an emphasis on quality over quantity allowed that the existing system had created “counterincentives.””（这个问题并不是美国独有的。在欧洲，正式的研究评估——用于分配未来的资金——多年来主要是根据学术部门的产出数量来评判他们。最近的一项改革敦促强调质量而不是数量，承认现有系统产生了“counterincentives”。）可知，“counterincentives”指的现有强调数量的系统会对强调高质量的论文产生抑制作用，因此划线词指的是“对高质量论文的抑制”的意思。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“There’s plenty of circumstantial evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. Consider the sheer volume of academic papers being published these days. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Some of this growth is driven by more scientists and more co-authorship of papers, but the numbers also suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down if we are to produce knowledge worthy of trust.”（有大量的间接证据表明，科学家和其他学者推出结果的速度比过去快得多。想想最近发表的学术论文的数量吧。最近的一项研究显示，这一数字每年超过700万，而就在1980年，这一数字还不到100万。这一增长部分是由更多的科学家和更多的论文合著者推动的，但这些数字也表明，研究界更看重数量而不是质量。如果我们要产生值得信任的知识，研究人员可能需要放慢速度。）可知，文章主要介绍了科学研究被期望快速进展的困境，并指出这种快节奏的研究可能会带来的问题。所以短文的标题为“快车道上的问题”。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Virtual internships (实习) are now a common occurrence as we adjust to the “new normal” when it comes to working. ____16____ Still, there are many positives that can come from virtual internships that you should consider.

E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了虚拟实习的一些好处。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Virtual internships (实习) are now a common occurrence as we adjust to the “new normal” when it comes to working.(随着我们适应工作的“新常态”，虚拟实习现在已经很常见了)”以及后文“Still, there are many positives that can come from virtual internships that you should consider.(不过，虚拟实习也有很多好处值得你考虑)”可知，后文提到了虚拟实习的好处，空处和后文是转折关系，可知本句是在说明虚拟实习的缺点。故A选项“话虽如此，它很容易被视为负面影响”符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据后文“It showcases your ability to manage your time effectively and handle tasks on your own. Besides, securing glowing recommendations from a remote employer highlights skills you gained through remote work.(它展示了你有效管理时间和独立处理任务的能力。此外，从远程雇主那里获得热情洋溢的推荐信可以突出你通过远程工作获得的技能)”可知，本段主要说明了远程工作可以增加工作经验，故G选项“至于建立专业形象，远程工作确实可以推销你的经验”符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Having a job can cost quite a bit when you take the commute (通勤) into consideration. With remote work, the costs are significantly lower, if they exist at all.(如果把通勤时间考虑在内，有一份工作可能要花很多钱。有了远程工作，成本就大大降低了，如果有的话)”可知，本句承接上文，说明在家工作不需要通勤的好处。故B选项“你可以在舒适的家里上班，不需要通勤”符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Additionally, without that commute, you gain some extra time to get things done that you otherwise wouldn’t have been able to. This includes many things, such as watching your favorite shows and cooking homemade meals on a nightly basis.(此外，没有通勤，你获得了一些额外的时间来完成你本来无法完成的事情。这包括很多事情，比如看你最喜欢的节目，晚上做自己做的饭菜)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，推测是在说明有时间做自己喜欢做的事情所产生的影响。故E选项“这看起来不多，但额外的时间可以真正改变游戏规则”符合语境，故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Lastly, keep in mind that a virtual internship is still an internship. Experience is experience, no matter how you obtain it.(最后，请记住，虚拟实习仍然是实习。经验就是经验，不管你如何获得它)”以及后文“For that reason, understand that a virtual internship is still experience, and that it’s still a feasible option to include on your resume.(因此，你要明白，虚拟实习仍然是一种经历，它仍然是你简历上一个可行的选择)”可知，后文提到了虚拟实习所带来的好处，可知本句是在强调不应该错过虚拟实习的机会。故F选项“虽然你很容易忽略一次虚拟实习，但你却错过了一次机会”符合语境，故选F。 第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When the couple had to close their business they ____21____ almost everything.

A group of teenagers, the members of the Springdale Youth Committee, gathered at a table. They looked determined and worried. Among them was Emily, a smart but often unnoticed girl who loves helping others. For weeks, they had been organizing a fundraising event for the local homeless shelter, as the shelter struggled to assist the increasing number of individuals seeking help. The big day was one week away, and everything was set — until they discovered another group had a similar charity event on the same day. This could divide the people who might come and the donations they hoped to get. “We can’t change the date now,” said Tom, a senior member, his voice filled with frustration. “We’ve already sent out invitations, and the place is booked.” Emily listened quietly to the discussion. She knew changing the date wasn’t possible, but she also realized competing with another worthy cause could hurt both sides. After the meeting ended without a solution, Emily decided to take action. She spent the next day looking into ways to work with the other group, hoping to find a way that would help both the homeless shelter and the other cause. The next day, she came to the committee with a suggestion. “What if we join our events?” she asked. “We could share resources, work together on promoting, and most importantly, make sure both causes are supported by the community.” The members looked at each other, some doubtful, others interested. “That’s a great idea, Emily, but how will we get them to agree?” Laura, another member, asked. Emily had already thought this through. “I’ll talk to their organizer and show them the benefits of a joint event.” She knew the path ahead would be challenging, but she was determined to make it happen for Springdale and its people. 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。 Para 1 The committee agreed to let Emily lead this effort. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2 After days of negotiation, Emily finally got a positive reply. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 The committee agreed to let Emily lead this effort. As expected, the idea of partnering with the rival organization met with opposition. The other group, protective of their previous hard work, was initially reluctant to accept Emily’s proposal. They worried that their unique voice would be lost in the mix, insisting that their event should stand alone. Emily, unshaken, continued to highlight the benefits of partnership, emphasizing the potential for more donations and increased community involvement. It was a tough sell, but Emily’s determination and the sound reasoning of her plan gradually broke through their initial reluctance. After days of negotiation, Emily finally got a positive reply. They had come to realize the value in Emily’s proposal and agreed to collaborate. The two teams began working together, pooling their resources and expertise to create a single, unified event. The result was an overwhelming success, attracting a larger crowd and fostering a sense of unity among the participants. The substantial funds collected profoundly benefited both the homeless shelter and the other cause, showing that when organizations put aside their differences and worked together towards a common goal, the power of collaboration could make a real difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了女孩艾米丽喜欢帮助别人，几个星期以来，他们一直在为当地的无家可归者收容所组织筹款活动，因为收容所正在努力帮助越来越多的寻求帮助的人。某次活动中，他们发现另一个团体在同一天举行了类似的慈善活动。这可能会把可能来的人和他们希望得到的捐款区分开来。最终在艾米丽的努力下，活动成功举行。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“委员会同意让艾米丽领导这项工作”可知，第一段可描写艾米丽为活动的成功举行所付出的努力。 ②由第二段首句内容“经过几天的谈判，艾米丽终于得到了肯定的答复”可知，第二段可描写活动成功举行，筹集到了善款。 2.续写线索：同意让艾米丽领导——艾米丽坚持合作——得到肯定答复——一起合作——活动成功——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①接受：accept/embrace ②担心：worry/concern ③强调：emphasize/stress 情绪类 ①不愿意的：reluctant/unwilling ②艰难：tough/difficult 【点睛】[高分句型1] They worried that their unique voice would be lost in the mix, insisting that their event should stand alone.

Then, at 20, I was introduced to photographer David Liittschwager, who hired me to help him with a magazine assignment on marine life. David’s assignment was to document the amazing biodiversity found in the ocean. My role was to collect specimens for him to photograph. Every night, I would cast a floating lamp. Like moths drawn to a flame, mysterious creatures would emerge from the depths in search of this light. I’d then set up aquariums to house them as they waited for David to take their shot. Those evenings made me feel as if I were on another planet. I had never imagined such strange life-forms could exist in our oceans. But I didn’t grasp the true magic of what was in front of me until I saw the photographs David took. The biggest surprise was his image of a baby flounder. I caught this fish by accident. Only later did I notice its two tiny eyeballs staring back at me. But David’s photograph of this flounder revealed a universe of detail that even my eager eyes had missed. His macro lens magnified its ribs (肋骨). The lightning-fast exposure froze its motion. A precisely aimed light released the rainbow hidden in its skin. And the black background removed all distractions to focus our attention on the quiet beauty at hand. Years after that project, I was snorkeling (潜泳) on a shallow reef. Out of the darkness, another baby flounder emerged and settled on my mask. This time I knew what to look for. Before working for David, I had assumed the goal of photography was simply to reproduce an observation so that others could share the same experience. It had never occurred to me that photography could expand our visual perception and therefore teach us to look at the world from new perspectives. 4. What was the author’s role in the magazine assignment? A Photographing the marine life. B. Documenting the amazing biodiversity. C. Building an aquarium for marine research. D. Attracting and gathering species of marine life. 5. What surprised the author about the image of a baby flounder? A. The advanced techniques of lighting. B. The strange appearance of the small fish.

A. To record an observation result. B. To help people see the world anew. C. To share one’s specific experience. D. To reveal visible wonders of the world. C The farms of the future may look very different from that of today. That’s because farms do not have to be outside anymore. They also won’t have to be above ground. In London, 100 feet below the streets there was a huge empty space. Richard Ballard and Steven Dring, founders of the company Growing Underground, thought it would be an ideal spot to build a hydroponic (水栽的) farm. After all, these types of farms are doing well in other indoor spaces. Founded in 2015, Growing Underground’s farm grows microgreens and salad leaves using hydroponic technology that grows plants in water but not soil. In fact, the company said that its hydroponic technology allows for the perfect pest-free growing environment. These methods use about 70 percent water less than traditional field agriculture and all the nutrients are kept within a closed circle system. They can grow the greens all year round because they are not affected by weather or growing seasons. But it is the LED lighting system that is the key to growing food underground. Ballard said, “Already, LEDs allow the growers to change the flavor of the greens, as their sugars and starches develop differently under different light spectrums (光谱).” Right now, the company only sells greens with a lot of leaves because they are the only crops that grow fast enough to be economically feasible but Ballard believes that will change. “As technologies improve, you’ll see soft fruits, cucumbers, peppers,” he said. The company’s goal is to keep food local. They say that all of the greens can be in your kitchen within four hours of being picked. They currently sell to local restaurants in London, but they hope to be entering the local groceries soon. 8. What makes the underground farm possible? A. The rich soil. B. The great demand for fruits. C. The hydroponic technology. D. The good weather condition. 9. What is the function of the LED lighting system? A. To get rid of pests. B. To increase the temperature of underground farm. C To allow greens to grow rapidly. D. To provide various light spectrums. 10. What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Difficult. B. Challenged. C. Impossible. D. Achievable. 11. What does the company expect of the underground farm? A. It’ll benefit more customers. B. It’ll be environment-friendly. C. It’ll keep food fresher for longer. D. It’ll use the latest technology. D A theme at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Switzerland was the perceived need to “speed up breakthroughs in research and technology.” Some of this framing was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world’s problems, scientific research needs to move faster. The WEF mindset is similar to the Silicon Valley dictate — to move fast and break things. But what if the thing being broken is science? Or public trust? The WEF meeting took place just two weeks after Harvard University President Claudine Gay stepped down after complaints were made about her political science scholarship. In response, Gay requested corrections to several of her papers. Although it may be impossible to determine just how widespread such problems really are, it’s hard to imagine that the scene of high-profile scholars correcting and retracting papers has not had a negative impact on public trust in science and perhaps in experts broadly. In recent years we’ve seen important papers, written by outstanding scientists and published in celebrated journals, retracted because of questionable data or methods, hence a question: Are scholars at supercompetitive places such as Harvard and Stanford rushing to publish rather than taking the time to do their work right? It’s impossible to answer this question scientifically because there’s no scientific definition of what constitutes “rushing.” But there’s little doubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under tremendous pressure to produce results — and a lot of them — quickly. The problem is not unique to the U. S. In Europe, formal research assessments — which are used to allocate (分配) future funding — have for years judged academic departments largely on the quantity of their output. A recent reform urging an emphasis on quality over quantity allowed that the existing system had created “counterincentives.” Good science takes time. More than 50 years elapsed between the 1543 publication of Copernicus’s On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept geophysicist Alfred Wegener’s idea of continental drift. There’s plenty of circumstantial evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. Consider the sheer volume of academic papers being published these days. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Some of this growth is driven by more scientists and more co-authorship of papers, but the numbers also suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down if we are to produce knowledge worthy of trust. 12. WEF meeting in Switzerland advocated that ________. A. researchers need to achieve breakthroughs more rapidly B. public trust in science is not supposed to be easily broken C. WEF and Silicon Valley reach an agreement to move fast D. climate emergency and AI push scientific research hard 13. Which of the following examples fails to prove that good science takes time? A. Gay’s correction and retraction of papers. B. Publication of Copernicus’s theory. C. High-profile scholars’ tremendous output. D. Acceptance of the idea of continental drift. 14. The underlined word “counterincentives” in para. 5 probably means ________. A. measures to increase quantities of output B. discouragements of high quality papers C. rewards for leading universities’ research D. contradictory motives for future funding 15. Which of the following is best title of the passage? A. WEF Coincides with Silicon Valley B. Collapse of Public Trust C. Dilemma between Quantity and Quality D.

A group of teenagers, the members of the Springdale Youth Committee, gathered at a table. They looked determined and worried. Among them was Emily, a smart but often unnoticed girl who loves helping others. For weeks, they had been organizing a fundraising event for the local homeless shelter, as the shelter struggled to assist the increasing number of individuals seeking help. The big day was one week away, and everything was set — until they discovered another group had a similar charity event on the same day. This could divide the people who might come and the donations they hoped to get. “We can’t change the date now,” said Tom, a senior member, his voice filled with frustration. “We’ve already sent out invitations, and the place is booked.” Emily listened quietly to the discussion. She knew changing the date wasn’t possible, but she also realized competing with another worthy cause could hurt both sides. After the meeting ended without a solution, Emily decided to take action. She spent the next day looking into ways to work with the other group, hoping to find a way that would help both the homeless shelter and the other cause. The next day, she came to the committee with a suggestion. “What if we join our events?” she asked. “We could share resources, work together on promoting, and most importantly, make sure both causes are supported by the community.” The members looked at each other, some doubtful, others interested. “That’s a great idea, Emily, but how will we get them to agree?” Laura, another member, asked. Emily had already thought this through. “I’ll talk to their organizer and show them the benefits of a joint event.” She knew the path ahead would be challenging, but she was determined to make it happen for Springdale and its people. 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。 Para 1 The committee agreed to let Emily lead this effort. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2 After days of negotiation, Emily finally got a positive reply. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
