Worryingly, they say as many as one million animals and plant species could die out in the next 30 years. Here are five of the world’s most endangered animals. The Amur leopards (远东豹) They belong to one of the world’s most unusual big cats, there only around 100 of them left in the wild. They are found in China and Russia, but the loss of their homes and lack of food have cut their numbers. Forest elephants They live in West and Central Africa. According to the survey, their population has fallen by 86% over the past 30 years due to illegal hunting (非法狩猎) and changes to their land. Sumatran orangutans (苏门答腊猩猩) The Sumatran orangutan is one of the three species of orangutans. They can be found only in the north of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. They are known for their red fur, but there are only 800 of those left in the wild. This is partly down to mining in the rainforests. Hawksbill turtles (玳瑁) They are found in the warmer waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean. Over the past 30 years, numbers have fallen by at least 80% because they’re being accidentally caught in fishing nets, and their shells are being traded illegally. Mountain gorillas As their name tells, mountain gorillas live in forests high in the mountains. They have thicker fur, and more of it, compared to other great apes. Unrest in the Democratic Republic of Congo has forced them away from their natural homes. There are just 1,000 of them left. 11. What do Forest elephants and Hawksbill turtles have in common? A.

B Dorothy Jean Tillman Ⅱ of Chicago, Illinois took her first college class at age 10. In December, 2023, she became the youngest person to earn a doctorate in integrated behavioural health (综合行为健康) at Arizona State University. When she completed her study programme, she was 17. Her friends and family, though, call Tillman by another name, “Dorothy Jeanius”. A “genius” is a very smart person. When most students her age were still in primary school, Tillman took classes through the College of Lake County in northern Illinois. She studied psychology and completed her associate’s (副的) degree in 2016. She earned a bachelor’s in humanities from New York’s Excelsior College in 2018. About two years later, she finished her master of science degree from Unity College in Maine. In 2021, she started work on her doctoral degree at Arizona State. Most of her work has been done online while living at home. Tillman said she credits her mother and grandmother for her educational success. But she did not get to do all the normal things for young people. “I didn’t have the everyday school things like school dances or spirit weeks or just school pictures and things like that ...” she said. She did find time for a dance programme and started an organization called the Dorothyjeanius STEAM Leadership Institute. STEAM stands for “science, technology, engineering, arts and maths”. The programme helps young people interested in those subjects during school breaks. Now that she has finished her studies, Tillman plans to work on raising money to expand her organization. She hopes to bring it to other places beyond Chicago. Her mother Jimalita Tillman said she is proud of her daughter’s ability to deal with success while making good choices between taking part in social activities and her studies. 14. Which university did she start studying college courses from? A. Unity College in Maine. B. Arizona State University. C. The College of Lake County. D. New York’s Excelsior College. 15. What is the reason for Tillman’s educational success? A Her family’s help. B. Her personal efforts. C. The power of the Internet. D. Encouragement from her classmates. 16. What is the purpose of creating STEAM? A. To enrich daily life. B. To raise some money. C. To improve dance skills. D. To help others with certain subjects. 17. Which of the following can best describe Tillman? A. Honest and humorous. B. Proud and hard-working. C. Smart and caring. D. Traditional and outgoing. C About 20 years ago, Cary Fowler and Geoffrey Hawtin wanted to stop hunger and protect the world’s food supply. Fowler and Hawtin’s goal was to keep a supply of seeds (种子) safe if existing seed banks were put at risk by war, climate change, or other dangers. They decided to build their storage building into the side of a mountain north of the Arctic Circle. Their idea became the Svalbard Global Seed Vault on the Norwegian island of Svalbard. The vault opened in 2008 and now holds 1.25 million seed samples from nearly every country in the world. The structure was built into the side of a mountain. It protects the seeds of over 6,000 kinds of agriculturally (农业上) important plants. Fowler and Hawtin were named the 2024 World Food Prize winners for their work. For many years, countries have created seed banks to store seeds for future use. But Fowler said he was concerned that climate change would cause disorder in agriculture. This would make the seed supply even more important. Hawtin said there were a lot of threats to crops in the past, such as insects, disease, and political unrest. He said that climate change has made these problems worse. So, he and Fowler saw a need for additional safe seed storage. Hawtin explained that climate change is changing insects and diseases. He added, “Climate change is putting a whole lot of extra problems on what has always been important ones.” Fowler and Hawtin said they hope to win the World Food Prize. It will help them raise more money for seed banks around the world. Managing them is not too exorbitant. However, the financial (财政的) support needs to continue forever. Norman Borlaug set up the World Food Prize. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for his part in what is called the “Green Revolution”. That was a big effort to make crops more productive so the world’s growing population would not go hungry. 18. What is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault? A. A farm. B. A garden. C. A storehouse. D. A seed bank. 19. What can we know about Cary Fowler and Geoffrey Hawtin? A. They both come from Norway. B. They are concerned about future climate change. C. They will be recommended for the Nobel Peace Prize. D. They may fail to win the World Food Prize. 20. What does the underlined “exorbitant” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. Costly. B. Worried. C. Satisfying. D. Simple. 21. Why does the author mention Norman Borlaug in the last paragraph? A. To stress the importance of agriculture. B. To introduce a Nobel Prize winner. C. To provide more background. D. To discuss the population problem. D The current US traffic signal (信号) system has been in place for more than 100 years. But experts are now studying ways to connect technology-equipped vehicles (交通工具) with signal systems in order to improve safety and traffic flows. Most US traffic signals currently include three lights to direct drivers at crossroads: red, yellow and green. But it might make sense to add a fourth colour, possibly white. This colour could inform motorists when there is a large collection of self-driving vehicles in a particular area. When many self-driving vehicles are present, the additional light would signal other drivers to follow the lead of those vehicles. The North Carolina State team thought that such changes are likely years away. One reason for this is because this kind of system would require between 40 to 50 percent of all vehicles on the road to be self-driving. Waymo is a self-driving vehicle company owned by Google’s parent, Alphabet. Waymo had already started ride-sharing services that use full self-driving vehicles in Los Angeles, California and Austin, Texas. Those services do not use a fourth traffic light. However, officials and companies should think very carefully before deciding on, and moving forward with, major infrastructure (基础设施) changes. Researchers at the University of Michigan are also testing different methods. They have carried out a test programme in an area outside the city of Detroit. Their research collects data on the speed and location of General Motors (GM) vehicles in the area. The data has been used to change the timing of city traffic lights in an effort to improve traffic flows. The area near Detroit where the testing is taking place has 34 traffic signals. It was chosen because lights in the area are set to change at the same times each day. This is the case for more than half of traffic signals nationwide. These signals are not connected to cameras or sensors to watch traffic flows in real time. Danielle Deneau is the director of traffic safety in Michigan. She said results of the University of Michigan research changed the timing of green lights only by a few seconds. However, Deneau added, even that was enough to improve traffic flows. 22. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. The white signal mainly directs dangerous traffic. B. Self-driving vehicles are not yet popular in the US. C. The white signal will change the basic traffic rules. D. The signal system in the US now has four colours. 23. What’s the author’s attitude towards major infrastructure changes? A. Supportive. B. Concerned. C. Unclear. D. Careful. 24. What is the method being tried by the University of Michigan? A. To add more signal colours. B. To change the green signal time. C. To get more traffic information. D. To connect more cameras or sensors. 25. What is the best title for the text? A. The Past and Future of Traffic Signal in the US B. Reasons for Changes in Self-driving Vehicles C. Researchers: Smarter Vehicles Could Greatly Change Traffic Signals D. American Traffic Signal: One of the Most Effective Management Strategies 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。 If you have a big test coming up or just want to do well in class, studying is one of the best things you can do to improve your grade.

In December, 2023, she became the youngest person to earn a doctorate in integrated behavioural health (综合行为健康) at Arizona State University. When she completed her study programme, she was 17. Her friends and family, though, call Tillman by another name, “Dorothy Jeanius”. A “genius” is a very smart person. When most students her age were still in primary school, Tillman took classes through the College of Lake County in northern Illinois. She studied psychology and completed her associate’s (副的) degree in 2016. She earned a bachelor’s in humanities from New York’s Excelsior College in 2018. About two years later, she finished her master of science degree from Unity College in Maine. In 2021, she started work on her doctoral degree at Arizona State. Most of her work has been done online while living at home. Tillman said she credits her mother and grandmother for her educational success. But she did not get to do all the normal things for young people. “I didn’t have the everyday school things like school dances or spirit weeks or just school pictures and things like that ...” she said. She did find time for a dance programme and started an organization called the Dorothyjeanius STEAM Leadership Institute. STEAM stands for “science, technology, engineering, arts and maths”. The programme helps young people interested in those subjects during school breaks. Now that she has finished her studies, Tillman plans to work on raising money to expand her organization. She hopes to bring it to other places beyond Chicago.

Fowler and Hawtin’s goal was to keep a supply of seeds (种子) safe if existing seed banks were put at risk by war, climate change, or other dangers. They decided to build their storage building into the side of a mountain north of the Arctic Circle. Their idea became the Svalbard Global Seed Vault on the Norwegian island of Svalbard. The vault opened in 2008 and now holds 1.25 million seed samples from nearly every country in the world. The structure was built into the side of a mountain. It protects the seeds of over 6,000 kinds of agriculturally (农业上) important plants. Fowler and Hawtin were named the 2024 World Food Prize winners for their work. For many years, countries have created seed banks to store seeds for future use. But Fowler said he was concerned that climate change would cause disorder in agriculture. This would make the seed supply even more important. Hawtin said there were a lot of threats to crops in the past, such as insects, disease, and political unrest. He said that climate change has made these problems worse. So, he and Fowler saw a need for additional safe seed storage. Hawtin explained that climate change is changing insects and diseases. He added, “Climate change is putting a whole lot of extra problems on what has always been important ones.” Fowler and Hawtin said they hope to win the World Food Prize. It will help them raise more money for seed banks around the world. Managing them is not too exorbitant. However, the financial (财政的) support needs to continue forever. Norman Borlaug set up the World Food Prize. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for his part in what is called the “Green Revolution”. That was a big effort to make crops more productive so the world’s growing population would not go hungry. 18. What is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault? A. A farm. B. A garden. C. A storehouse. D. A seed bank. 19. What can we know about Cary Fowler and Geoffrey Hawtin? A. They both come from Norway. B. They are concerned about future climate change. C. They will be recommended for the Nobel Peace Prize. D. They may fail to win the World Food Prize. 20. What does the underlined “exorbitant” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. Costly. B. Worried. C. Satisfying. D. Simple. 21. Why does the author mention Norman Borlaug in the last paragraph? A. To stress the importance of agriculture. B. To introduce a Nobel Prize winner. C. To provide more background. D. To discuss the population problem. 【答案】18. D 19. B 20. A 21.

This would make the seed supply even more important.(多年来，各国建立了种子银行来储存种子以备将来使用。但福勒表示，他担心气候变化会导致农业混乱。这将使种子供应变得更加重要)”和第五段“Hawtin said there were a lot of threats to crops in the past, such as insects, disease, and political unrest. He said that climate change has made these problems worse. So, he and Fowler saw a need for additional safe seed storage. Hawtin explained that climate change is changing insects and diseases. He added, “Climate change is putting a whole lot of extra problems on what has always been important ones.”(霍廷说，过去农作物面临很多威胁，比如昆虫、疾病和政治动荡。他说，气候变化使这些问题变得更糟。因此，他和福勒认为需要额外的安全种子储存。霍廷解释说，气候变化正在改变昆虫和疾病。他补充说，“气候变化给一直很重要的问题带来了一大堆额外的问题。”)”可知，他们二人都很关注气候变化。故选B。 【20题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Fowler and Hawtin said they hope to win the World Food Prize. It will help them raise more money for seed banks around the world.(福勒和霍廷说，他们希望赢得世界粮食奖。这将帮助他们为世界各地的种子银行筹集更多资金)”以及下文“However, the financial (财政的) support needs to continue forever.(然而，财政支持需要永远持续下去)”可知，虽然管理这个种子库费用不高昂，但难的是这个财政支持必须一直持续下去。However表示前后形成转折关系。故划线词意思是“昂贵的”。故选A。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Norman Borlaug set up the World Food Prize. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for his part in what is called the “Green Revolution”. That was a big effort to make crops more productive so the world’s growing population would not go hungry.(诺曼·博洛格设立了世界粮食奖。1970年，他因参与所谓的“绿色革命”而获得诺贝尔和平奖。这是一项巨大的努力，目的是提高农作物的产量，这样世界上不断增长的人口就不会挨饿)”可知，提到No man Borlaug主要为了介绍他设立的世界粮食奖，从而为读者提供更多的背景材料。故选C。 D The current US traffic signal (信号) system has been in place for more than 100 years. But experts are now studying ways to connect technology-equipped vehicles (交通工具) with signal systems in order to improve safety and traffic flows. Most US traffic signals currently include three lights to direct drivers at crossroads: red, yellow and green. But it might make sense to add a fourth colour, possibly white. This colour could inform motorists when there is a large collection of self-driving vehicles in a particular area. When many self-driving vehicles are present, the additional light would signal other drivers to follow the lead of those vehicles. The North Carolina State team thought that such changes are likely years away. One reason for this is because this kind of system would require between 40 to 50 percent of all vehicles on the road to be self-driving. Waymo is a self-driving vehicle company owned by Google’s parent, Alphabet. Waymo had already started ride-sharing services that use full self-driving vehicles in Los Angeles, California and Austin, Texas. Those services do not use a fourth traffic light. However, officials and companies should think very carefully before deciding on, and moving forward with, major infrastructure (基础设施) changes. Researchers at the University of Michigan are also testing different methods. They have carried out a test programme in an area outside the city of Detroit. Their research collects data on the speed and location of General Motors (GM) vehicles in the area. The data has been used to change the timing of city traffic lights in an effort to improve traffic flows. The area near Detroit where the testing is taking place has 34 traffic signals. It was chosen because lights in the area are set to change at the same times each day. This is the case for more than half of traffic signals nationwide. These signals are not connected to cameras or sensors to watch traffic flows in real time. Danielle Deneau is the director of traffic safety in Michigan. She said results of the University of Michigan research changed the timing of green lights only by a few seconds. However, Deneau added, even that was enough to improve traffic flows. 22. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. The white signal mainly directs dangerous traffic. B. Self-driving vehicles are not yet popular in the US. C. The white signal will change the basic traffic rules. D. The signal system in the US now has four colours. 23. What’s the author’s attitude towards major infrastructure changes? A. Supportive. B. Concerned. C. Unclear. D. Careful. 24. What is the method being tried by the University of Michigan? A. To add more signal colours. B. To change the green signal time. C. To get more traffic information. D. To connect more cameras or sensors. 25. What is the best title for the text? A. The Past and Future of Traffic Signal in the US B. Reasons for Changes in Self-driving Vehicles C. Researchers: Smarter Vehicles Could Greatly Change Traffic Signals D. American Traffic Signal: One of the Most Effective Management Strategies 【答案】22. B 23. D 24. B 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要讲述了尽管美国交通信号系统已经存在了100多年，但是专家们现在正在研究如何将配备科技的车辆与信号系统连接起来，以提高安全性和交通流量。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When many self-driving vehicles are present, the additional light would signal other drivers to follow the lead of those vehicles. The North Carolina State team thought that such changes are likely years away. One reason for this is because this kind of system would require between 40 to 50 percent of all vehicles on the road to be self-driving.(当有很多自动驾驶汽车出现时，额外信号灯会向其他司机发出信号，让他们跟着这些汽车走。北卡罗来纳州立大学的研究小组认为，这种变化可能还需要几年的时间。其中一个原因是，这种系统需要道路上所有车辆的40%到50%是自动驾驶的)”可知，额外的信号灯这种变化还需要几年，因为需要道路上有40%到50%的车辆是自动驾驶。由此推知，目前自动驾驶汽车在美国还没有普及。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, officials and companies should think very carefully before deciding on, and moving forward with, major infrastructure (基础设施) changes.(然而，在决定和推进重大基础设施改革之前，官员和企业应该仔细考虑)”可知，作者对于重大基础设施改革持有仔细、谨慎的态度。故选D。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The data has been used to change the timing of city traffic lights in an effort to improve traffic flows.(这些数据已被用于改变城市交通灯的时间，以改善交通流量)”和“She said results of the University of Michigan research changed the timing of green lights only by a few seconds.(她说，密歇根大学的研究结果只改变了绿灯的时间几秒钟)”可知，改变绿信号灯的时间是密歇根大学正在尝试的方法。故选B。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“But experts are now studying ways to connect technology-equipped vehicles (交通工具) with signal systems in order to improve safety and traffic flows.(但是专家们现在正在研究如何将配备科技的车辆与信号系统连接起来，以改善安全性和交通流量)”和全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了研究者们正在研究将配备科技的智能车辆与交通信号系统连接起来，从而改变交通信号，提升其安全性和交通流量。故C项“研究人员：更智能的车辆可以极大地改变交通信号”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选C 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。 If you have a big test coming up or just want to do well in class, studying is one of the best things you can do to improve your grade.
