Every week, without fail, I would make a visit to this library to borrow three books. One of the most defining aspects of my life has been the challenge of living with a stammer(口吃). It’s a condition that can be incredibly burdensome and distressing, particularly if you happen to be a teenager. However, it turned out to be beneficial in shaping me into a female writer in my later life. Because of my stammer, the library became my favorite place. To me, it was more than just a building; it was a shelter where I could escape into the pages of countless stories and communicate with the world without the fear of being judged. Without distraction from the outside world, I eagerly absorbed knowledge about various subjects, from science fiction to history, from biographies to poetry. Each book was a stepping stone, leading me further into the vast ocean of knowledge and imagination. As I grew older, my love for reading evolved into a passion for writing. I began to pen my own stories. My stammer, which had once been a source of frustration, became a catalyst (催化剂) for creativity. It forced me to choose my words carefully, to think before I spoke, and to write with intention. The library, with its endless rows of books and the quiet hum of other readers, was my classroom. It taught me that stories have the power to change lives, to transport us to different worlds, and to help us understand ourselves and others. It was there, in that small town library, that I discovered the writer within me. And it was that discovery that shaped my future, leading me to a career where I could share my own stories and, hopefully, inspire others as I had been inspired. 24. How did stammer influence the author? A. It stopped her from making friends. B. It contributed to her writing career. C. It brought her joy of talking to writers. D. It had a bad effect on her school performance. 25. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 3? A. She read a wide range of books. B. She put up a shelter in the library. C. She feared to communicate with people. D. She once worked as a part-time librarian. 26. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The benefits of sharing stories. B. The procedure for becoming a writer. C. The reasons why the author loves books. D. The significance of the library to the author. 27. Which of the following words best describe the author? A. Curious and outgoing. B. Humorous and positive. C. Hardworking and persistent. D. Talented and warmhearted. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了作者有口吃，通过在图书馆阅读，努力吸收知识，从而开始写作，最终成为作家故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s a condition that can be incredibly burdensome and distressing, particularly if you happen to be a teenager. However, it turned out to be beneficial in shaping me into a female writer in my later life. (这是一种令人难以置信的负担和痛苦的情况，特别是如果你碰巧是一个青少年。然而，事实证明，这对我后来成为一名女作家是有益的。)”可知，作者口吃，对之后的写作事业产生了积极影响。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Without distraction from the outside world, I eagerly absorbed knowledge about various subjects, from science fiction to history, from biographies to poetry.

And it was that discovery that shaped my future, leading me to a career where I could share my own stories and, hopefully, inspire others as I had been inspired. (图书馆是我的教室，那里有无穷无尽的一排排书和其他读者安静的嗡嗡声。它教会了我，故事有改变生活的力量，把我们带到不同的世界，帮助我们了解自己和他人。就在那里，在那个小镇的图书馆里，我发现了我内心的作家。正是这个发现塑造了我的未来，引导我进入了一个可以分享自己故事的职业，并希望能像我被激励一样激励他人。)”可知，文章最后一段讲述了图书馆对于作者的深刻影响和意义。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Without distraction from the outside world, I eagerly absorbed knowledge about various subjects, from science fiction to history, from biographies to poetry. Each book was a stepping stone, leading me further into the vast ocean of knowledge and imagination. (没有外界的干扰，我热切地吸收各种学科的知识，从科幻小说到历史，从传记到诗歌。每本书都是一块垫脚石，带领我进一步进入知识和想象的浩瀚海洋。)”及第四段“It forced me to choose my words carefully, to think before I spoke, and to write with intention.

After graduation, they have been working together on Chinese plays with Wang as a producer and Tian as a director. In 2020, after the coronavirus pandemic(疫情) hit, Tian considered creating a play. Since most of his works were based on classic works, Tian decided to write an original play. This turned out to be a three-hour-long play, titled Will, exploring the life story of Shakespeare. “When we researched Shakespeare’s own life story, we found that we shared lots of experiences and emotions with him.” says Wang when asked about the inspiration. Tian agrees: “We share the passion for theater. We face problems after we left school, such as looking for job opportunities to make ends meet, and struggling between reality and dreams. We see ourselves through this play, Will.” With four actors and actresses playing more than 30 roles, the play follows the man, Will, who, at the age of 5, entered the theater of Stratford City Hall by accident and became attached to it. Before adulthood, he went to London to seek his theater dream and launched his career, which brought him fortune and fame(名声). Then in his later years, he returned to Stratford, his hometown and stayed there until his death. Premiered(首映) on July 22, the play was staged in Beijing and Shenzhen and was warmly received by both audiences and critics. In 2022, it will start a new round of shows in Beijing in April and July and is expected to be watched by about 13,000. When asked about the feeling, Wang says, “Both Tian and I felt like returning to our school days when we fully devoted into creating plays and were not distracted. It felt great.” 28. What do we know about Tian? A. He knew little about Shakespeare. B. He adapted a play from classics. C. He has teamed up with Wang. D. He has served as a producer. 29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. What made them create Will. B. How they drafted Will. C. The necessity of watching Will. D. The introduction to Will. 30. How does the author develop the play? A. By making a comparison. B. By following the time order. C. By giving various examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 31. What’s the best title for the text? A. Bringing Shakespeare to life B. Shakespeare’s influence on China C. The popularity of Shakespeare D. Saying hello to Shakespeare 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了汪鹏飞和田晓威创作的戏剧《威廉与我》的背景、灵感、内容和反响等。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“After graduation, they have been working together on Chinese plays with Wang as a producer and Tian as a director.(毕业后，他们一直在中国戏剧上合作，王担任制片人，田担任导演。)”可知，田和王一直合作。故选C。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“says Wang when asked about the inspiration(当被问及灵感时，王说)”和“Tian agrees(田表示同意)”可知，本段主要讲述的是他们二人创作这部戏剧的灵感，即是什么让他们创作了这部戏剧。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“With four actors and actresses playing more than 30 roles, the play follows the man, Will, who, at the age of 5, entered the theater of Stratford City Hall by accident and became attached to it. Before adulthood, he went to London to seek his theater dream and launched his career, which brought him fortune and fame(名声). Then in his later years, he returned to Stratford, his hometown and stayed there until his death.(该剧由四位男女演员扮演30多个角色，讲述了一个名叫威廉的男人，他在5岁时偶然进入斯特拉特福市政厅剧院并与之结缘。成年前，他前往伦敦寻求戏剧梦想，并开始了他的职业生涯，这给他带来了财富和名声。然后在晚年，他回到家乡斯特拉特福，一直待在那里直到去世。)”中的at the age of 5，Before adulthood，Then，until his death可知，作者按照时间顺序讲述戏剧的内容。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“This turned out to be a three-hour-long play, titled Will, exploring the life story of Shakespeare.(这结果是一部三小时长的戏剧，名为《威廉与我》，探讨莎士比亚的生平故事。)”并结合全文内容可知，本文主要围绕汪鹏飞和田晓威创作的戏剧《威廉与我》展开，这部戏剧揭示了莎士比亚的生平故事，由此可推测出，A项“让莎士比亚真实再现”符合题意。故选A。 D For years, scientists have debated whether humans or the climate have caused the population of large mammals to decline dramatically over the past several thousand years. A new study from Aarhus University confirms that climate cannot be the explanation. About 100,000 years ago, the first modern humans migrated out of Africa in large numbers. They were very good at adapting to new habitats, and they settled in almost every kind of landscape — from deserts to jungles to the icy taiga in the far north. Part of the success was human’s ability to hunt large animals. With clever hunting techniques and specially built weapons, they perfected the art of killing even the most dangerous mammals. But unfortunately, the great success of our ancestors came at the expense of the other large mammals. It is well-known that numerous large species went extinct during the time of worldwide colonization by modern humans. Now, new research from Aarhus University reveals that those large mammals that survived also experienced a dramatic decline. By studying the DNA of 139 living species of large mammals, scientists have been able to show that the abundances of almost all species fell dramatically about 50,000 years ago. This is according to Jens-Christian Svenning, a professor and head of the Danish National Research Foundation’s Center for Ecological Dynamics in a Novel Biosphere (ECONOVO) at Aarhus University and the initiator of the study. “We’ve studied the evolution of large mammalian populations over the past 750,000 years. For the first 700,000 years, the populations were fairly stable. But 50,000 years ago, the populations fell dramatically and never recovered,” he says, and continues: “For the past 800,000 years, the globe has fluctuated (波动) between ice ages and interglacial periods about every 100,000 years. If the climate was the cause, we should see greater fluctuations when the climate changed 50,000 years earlier.But we don’t. Humans are, therefore, the most likely explanation.” 32. What do the underlined words “the success” mean in Paragraph 3? A. The evolution of large mammals. B. The prosperity of various habitats. C. The achievement of human migration. D. The progress in hunting techniques. 33. According to Svenning, what happened 50,000 years ago? A. Populations of large mammals significantly dropped. B. Living conditions of large mammals remained stable. C. Global climate dramatically changed. D. A large number of glaciers suddenly melt. 34. What’s used as a clue of the research according to the last two paragraphs? A. Species. B. Place. C. Time. D. Climate. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Climate Impact on Animals B. Changes of Prehistoric Environment C. Evolution of Large Mammal Populations D. Human Influence on Giant Mammals 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要谈论了，科学家多年来一直在辩论是人类还是气候导致了过去几千年大型哺乳动物数量急剧下降的问题。但Aarhus大学的一项新研究证实了气候不可能是解释的原因。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“About 100,000 years ago, the first modern humans migrated out of Africa in large numbers.They were very good at adapting to new habitats, and they settled in almost every kind of landscape—from deserts to jungles to the icy taiga in the far north.(大约10万年前，第一批现代人类大量迁徙出非洲。它们非常善于适应新的栖息地，几乎定居在从沙漠到丛林再到遥远北方冰冷的针叶林的每一种景观中。)”以及第三段“With clever hunting techniques and specially built weapons, they perfected the art of killing even the most dangerous mammals. (成功的一部分是人类狩猎大型动物的能力。凭借巧妙的狩猎技术和特制的武器，他们甚至完善了杀死最危险哺乳动物的艺术。)”可知，此处划线词the success指的是上文提到的人们迁徙的成就。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“By studying the DNA of 139 living species of large mammals, scientists have been able to show that the abundances of almost all species fell dramatically about 50,000 years ago.This is according to Jens-Christian Svenning, a professor and head of the Danish National Research Foundation’s Center for Ecological Dynamics in a Novel Biosphere(ECONOVO)at Aarhus University and the initiator of the study.(通过研究139种现存大型哺乳动物的DNA，科学家们已经能够证明，大约5万年前，几乎所有物种的丰度都急剧下降。这是奥胡斯大学丹麦国家研究基金会新生物圈生态动力学中心（ECONOVO）教授兼负责人、该研究的发起人Jens Christian Svenning的说法。)”可知，大约5万年前，大型哺乳动物的数量显著减少。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“By studying the DNA of 139 living species of large mammals, scientists have been able to show that the abundances of almost all species fell dramatically about 50,000 years ago.This is according to Jens-Christian Svenning, a professor and head of the Danish National Research Foundation’s Center for Ecological Dynamics in a Novel Biosphere(ECONOVO)at Aarhus University and the initiator of the study.(通过研究139种现存大型哺乳动物的DNA，科学家们已经能够证明，大约5万年前，几乎所有物种的丰度都急剧下降。这是奥胡斯大学丹麦国家研究基金会新生物圈生态动力学中心（ECONOVO）教授兼负责人、该研究的发起人Jens Christian Svenning的说法。)”以及最后一段““We’ve studied the evolution of large mammalian populations over the past 750,000 years.For the first 700,000 years, the populations were fairly stable.But 50,000 years ago, the populations fell dramatically and never recovered,” he says, and continues: “For the past 800,000 years, the globe has fluctuated(波动)between ice ages and interglacial periods about every 100,000 years.If the climate was the cause, we should see greater fluctuations when the climate changed 50,000 years earlier. But we don’t. Humans are, therefore, the most likely explanation.”(“我们研究了过去75万年中大型哺乳动物种群的进化。在最初的70万年里，种群数量相当稳定。但在5万年前，种群数量急剧下降，再也没有恢复，”他说，并继续说道“在过去的80万年里，全球大约每10万年就在冰河时期和间冰期之间波动一次。如果气候是原因，我们应该会在5万年前气候变化时看到更大的波动。但我们没有。因此，人类是最有可能的解释。”)”可知，研究的线索为时间。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“For years, scientists have debated whether humans or the climate have caused the population of large mammals to decline dramatically over the past several thousand years. A new study from Aarhus University confirms that climate cannot be the explanation.(科学家多年来一直在辩论是人类还是气候导致了过去几千年大型哺乳动物数量急剧下降的问题。但Aarhus大学的一项新研究证实了气候不可能是解释的原因。)”以及对文章的理解可知，本文说明了科学家多年来一直在辩论是人类还是气候导致了过去几千年大型哺乳动物数量急剧下降的问题。但Aarhus大学的一项新研究证实了气候不可能是解释的原因。故D项“人类对巨型哺乳动物的影响”符合文章标题。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） As technology becomes an inseparable part of our daily lives, it is crucial for educators to teach children safe tech habits from a young age. ____36____.

The election for fifth-grade class president was only about two weeks away, and Ahmad knew it was time to begin seriously campaigning. “I think you need a catchy slogan, ” said his friend，twirling(旋转)a pencil as he thought. “How about Authentic and Approachable: Always Ahmad? ”Ahmad beamed. “It’s got a nice ring to it.” “You need something that people will remember. They won’t forget that Olivia was the fourth-grade president last year and they’ll like the fact that she has experience, “his friend added. Ahmad nodded, grinning. “I know, but I think I can bring some fresh ideas. Do you know Olivia’s plans for the campaign?” Olivia, meanwhile, sat at her kitchen table with her twin sister. They were eating cupcakes while discussing what to put on the signs they planned to make. At the center of the table were posterboard in bright colors, markers, pens, colored pencils, and crayons. “Where should we start?” asked her sister ,brushing the cream from her hands. “What do you want people to know about you?” Olivia raised her head and thought for a moment. “I want them to know I’m a hard worker,“ she said, eyes bright and alert. “I have experience as class president. I also have a lot of ideas of making this a great school year.” “Experience is truly important,” commented her sister. “Dad once told me he would vote for someone who had proven to be the kind of leader he was looking for in his company.” An enormous grin spread across Olivia’s face. “What about Olivia for President-All Original, All Experience,” suggested her sister. “Oh, or Olivia for President, Opportunity for All?“ “I like both of those, ”exclaimed Olivia.“ The first one reminds the voters of my experience. The second one lets them know I will listen to their ideas and work for and with them. ”Her words fell as she took out a fat red marker and began the first poster. 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。 Paragraph 1:Two weeks later on the election, Ms. Pond announced, “Now, we have two candidates with same votes.” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2:Ahmad went to the front of the room to begin his speech after Olivia. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Two weeks later on the election, Ms. Pond announced, “Now, we have two candidates with same votes.”Now that the two candidates are tied on the ballot, let’s have a further campaign. Olivia went on stage first to give a speech, but surprisingly he was in a wheelchair. “Because of my injury, I have decided to withdraw from the campaign,” he said. “Why is this happening?” Ms. Pond asked. The classmate who pushed the wheelchair beside him said, “He is trying to save a classmate, so he can’t walk because of his foot injury. He needs to rest for a period of time to recover.” All the people present applauded for the former helpful fourth-grade president, including Ahmed. Ahmad went to the front of the room to begin his speech after Olivia.“Olivia is a great class president ,” Ahmed said tearfully. “His behavior deeply touched our hearts. Each of us should learn from his noble spirit of sacrificing oneself to save others.” I want to learn from the best. I suggest that Olivia stay on as fifth-grade president when she gets well again. I’d be happy to be his assistant, if he doesn’t mind. It was a thunderous ovation, and both men deserved it. The two men embraced and smiled in a warm round of applause. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了艾哈迈德和奥利维亚都精心准备竞选学生干部，在俩人选票相同的情况下如何决定最终结果的故事 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容：选举两周后，庞德宣布，“现在，我们有了两个得票率相同的候选人。”可知，第一段可描写选票相同以后的后续情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“在奥利维亚之后，艾哈迈德走到房间前面开始演讲。”可知，第二段可描写奥利维亚的演讲内容和故事最后的结果。 2.续写线索：票数相同——继续竞选——主动退出——了解原因——深受感动——发表感悟 3词汇激活 行为类 ①做演讲：give a speech/make a speech/give a lecture ②退出： withdraw/give up ③继续保持：stay on/keep on/continue to maintain 情绪类 ①令人惊讶地：surprisingly/amazingly/astonishingly ②感动：touch/move ③高兴的：happy/glad/cheerful 【点睛】【高分句型1】The classmate who pushed the wheelchair beside him said, “He is trying to save a classmate, so he can’t walk because of his foot injury.

From animated (动画的) comedies to workplace satire. Check out some of the funniest shows you can’t miss out on. Night Court Melissa Rauch, John Larroquette and their Night Court co-stars are making a comeback to the screen. Fans got a taste of what’s to come in a special holiday episode, which aired days before the season 2 premiere (首映) on Feb.7. The festive episode saw Rauch’s Judge Abby Stone and Larroquette’s Dan Fielding — whom he also played in the original series — dressing up as Santa Claus and an elf to avoid spoiling one little girl’s Christmas.

Jon Hamm voices the sitcom’s central character Marvin Flute, who is the leading detective in the fictional town of Grimsburg. Hamm talked about his new role on The Tonight Show, explaining that while Marvin Flute isn’t necessarily “living his best life”, he is “very good at solving crimes”. Young Sheldon The Big Bang Theory’s hit prequel (前传) is back for the last season, which is set to premiere on Feb. 15.

B Back in my childhood days, I lived in a small town that had a Carnegie library. Every week, without fail, I would make a visit to this library to borrow three books. One of the most defining aspects of my life has been the challenge of living with a stammer(口吃). It’s a condition that can be incredibly burdensome and distressing, particularly if you happen to be a teenager. However, it turned out to be beneficial in shaping me into a female writer in my later life. Because of my stammer, the library became my favorite place. To me, it was more than just a building; it was a shelter where I could escape into the pages of countless stories and communicate with the world without the fear of being judged. Without distraction from the outside world, I eagerly absorbed knowledge about various subjects, from science fiction to history, from biographies to poetry. Each book was a stepping stone, leading me further into the vast ocean of knowledge and imagination. As I grew older, my love for reading evolved into a passion for writing. I began to pen my own stories. My stammer, which had once been a source of frustration, became a catalyst (催化剂) for creativity. It forced me to choose my words carefully, to think before I spoke, and to write with intention. The library, with its endless rows of books and the quiet hum of other readers, was my classroom. It taught me that stories have the power to change lives, to transport us to different worlds, and to help us understand ourselves and others. It was there, in that small town library, that I discovered the writer within me. And it was that discovery that shaped my future, leading me to a career where I could share my own stories and, hopefully, inspire others as I had been inspired. 24. How did stammer influence the author? A. It stopped her from making friends. B. It contributed to her writing career. C. It brought her joy of talking to writers. D. It had a bad effect on her school performance. 25. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 3? A. She read a wide range of books. B. She put up a shelter in the library. C. She feared to communicate with people. D. She once worked as a part-time librarian. 26. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The benefits of sharing stories. B. The procedure for becoming a writer. C. The reasons why the author loves books. D. The significance of the library to the author. 27. Which of the following words best describe the author? A. Curious and outgoing. B. Humorous and positive. C. Hardworking and persistent. D. Talented and warmhearted. C For Wang Pengfei and Tian Xiaowei, Central Academy of Drama graduates, William Shakespeare’s works were a must-read during their college days. After graduation, they have been working together on Chinese plays with Wang as a producer and Tian as a director. In 2020, after the coronavirus pandemic(疫情) hit, Tian considered creating a play. Since most of his works were based on classic works, Tian decided to write an original play. This turned out to be a three-hour-long play, titled Will, exploring the life story of Shakespeare. “When we researched Shakespeare’s own life story, we found that we shared lots of experiences and emotions with him.” says Wang when asked about the inspiration. Tian agrees: “We share the passion for theater. We face problems after we left school, such as looking for job opportunities to make ends meet, and struggling between reality and dreams. We see ourselves through this play, Will.” With four actors and actresses playing more than 30 roles the play follows the man, Will, who, at the age of 5, entered the theater of Stratford City Hall by accident and became attached to it. Before adulthood, he went to London to seek his theater dream and launched his career, which brought him fortune and fame(名声). Then in his later years, he returned to Stratford, his hometown and stayed there until his death. Premiered(首映) on July 22, the play was staged in Beijing and Shenzhen and was warmly received by both audiences and critics. In 2022, it will start a new round of shows in Beijing in April and July and is expected to be watched by about 13,000. When asked about the feeling, Wang says, “Both Tian and I felt like returning to our school days when we fully devoted into creating plays and were not distracted. It felt great.” 28. What do we know about Tian? A. He knew little about Shakespeare. B. He adapted a play from classics. C. He has teamed up with Wang. D. He has served as a producer. 29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. What made them create Will. B. How they drafted Will. C. The necessity of watching Will. D. The introduction to Will. 30. How does the author develop the play? A. By making a comparison. B. By following the time order. C. By giving various examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 31. What’s the best title for the text? A. Bringing Shakespeare to life B. Shakespeare’s influence on China C. The popularity of Shakespeare D. Saying hello to Shakespeare D For years, scientists have debated whether humans or the climate have caused the population of large mammals to decline dramatically over the past several thousand years. A new study from Aarhus University confirms that climate cannot be the explanation. About 100,000 years ago, the first modern humans migrated out of Africa in large numbers. They were very good at adapting to new habitats, and they settled in almost every kind of landscape — from deserts to jungles to the icy taiga in the far north. Part of the success was human’s ability to hunt large animals. With clever hunting techniques and specially built weapons, they perfected the art of killing even the most dangerous mammals. But unfortunately, the great success of our ancestors came at the expense of the other large mammals. It is well-known that numerous large species went extinct during the time of worldwide colonization by modern humans. Now, new research from Aarhus University reveals that those large mammals that survived also experienced a dramatic decline. By studying the DNA of 139 living species of large mammals, scientists have been able to show that the abundances of almost all species fell dramatically about 50,000 years ago. This is according to Jens-Christian Svenning, a professor and head of the Danish National Research Foundation’s Center for Ecological Dynamics in a Novel Biosphere (ECONOVO) at Aarhus University and the initiator of the study. “We’ve studied the evolution of large mammalian populations over the past 750,000 years. For the first 700,000 years, the populations were fairly stable. But 50,000 years ago, the populations fell dramatically and never recovered,” he says, and continues: “For the past 800,000 years, the globe has fluctuated (波动) between ice ages and interglacial periods about every 100,000 years. If the climate was the cause, we should see greater fluctuations when the climate changed 50,000 years earlier.But we don’t. Humans are, therefore, the most likely explanation.” 32. What do the underlined words “the success” mean in Paragraph 3? A. The evolution of large mammals. B. The prosperity of various habitats. C. The achievement of human migration. D. The progress in hunting techniques. 33. According to Svenning, what happened 50,000 years ago? A. Populations of large mammals significantly dropped. B. Living conditions of large mammals remained stable. C. Global climate dramatically changed. D. A large number of glaciers suddenly melt. 34. What’s used as a clue of the research according to the last two paragraphs? A. Species. B. Place. C. Time. D. Climate. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Climate Impact on Animals B. Changes of Prehistoric Environment C. Evolution of Large Mammal Populations D. Human Influence on Giant Mammals 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） As technology becomes an inseparable part of our daily lives, it is crucial for educators to teach children safe tech habits from a young age. ____36____.
