第二部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分,满分50分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Eyesight, or vision, is the ability to see. Lifestyle factors such as eating a well-balanced diet, regular physical activity, taking screen breaks, and avoiding smoking can support eye and vision health. You can also practice eye exercises regularly to improve eyesight and maintain eye health. Eye exercises are physical exercises that can help to improve conditions such as eye strain (眼睛疲劳), strabismus (crossed eyes), and lazy eye.
Near-and-Far Focus
Try the near-and-far focus exercise to maintain clarity of vision when shifting focus between near and far objects. First, position your thumb about 10 inches away from your face. Stare at your thumb for 15 seconds, then break your focus. Next, look at an object about 10-20 feet in the distance for 15 seconds before returning your focus to your thumb. Repeat this sequence (顺序) five times.
Figure Eight
The figure eight is an eye exercise that helps reduce digital eye strain. Start this exercise by focusing your eyes on a spot or object in front of you that’s 10 feet away. Visually draw a figure eight around the spot and continue your eye movement by tracing the figure eight for 30 seconds. Switch the direction of the figure eight and repeat the sequence.
20-20-20 Rule
To avoid digital eye strain from screen time throughout the day, make an effort to take a break from your screen with the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, take a break from your screen to look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This eye exercise gives tired eyes some quick relief from digital devices and screens that cause eye strain.
Eye Rolling
Studies have found that eye-rolling exercises may help reduce stress and improve quality of life. Eye rolling exercises can also help relieve eye strain. To perform an eye-rolling exercise, sit in a comfortable position and stare straight ahead. Look upward and slowly move your eyes in a circular, clockwise direction. Close your eyes to keep them relaxed. Finally, open your eyes and repeat the sequence in a counter-clockwise direction.
36. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Eyesight is the ability to hear sounds.
B. Lifestyle factors like diet and exercise have no impact on vision.
C. Lifestyle factors and eye exercises can support eye and vision health.
D. Smoking improves eye health.
37. What is the purpose of the near-and-far focus exercise?
A. To see where the thumb is.
B. To constantly adjust the distance of the thumb position.
C. To keep vision clear when shifting focus from nearby to faraway objects.
D. To adjust the eyes to the movement of the thumb.
38. How does the figure eight exercise benefit the eyes?
A. It enhances the ability to see in low-light conditions.
B. It reduces digital eye strain by encouraging smooth eye movements.
C. It helps the eyes learn the figure of eight movement.
D. It improves the way your eyes work with the figure eight.
39. What is the 20-20-20 rule designed to do?
A. Increase screen time without breaks.
B. Improve posture by reminding users to sit upright every 20 minutes.
C. Reduce the risk of developing nearsightedness by focusing on distant objects.
D. Avoid digital eye strain by taking breaks from screens.
40 What additional benefit do eye-rolling exercises provide?
A. They improve night vision and reduce sensitivity to bright light.
B. They assist in lowering stress and promoting a better quality of life.
C. They help maintain the ability of the eyes to move in circles.
D. They enhance the ability to focus on moving objects.

Larry was a truck driver, but his lifelong dream was to fly. When he graduated from high school, he joined the Air Force in hopes of becoming a pilot. Unfortunately, poor eyesight disqualified him. So, when he finally left the service, he had to satisfy himself with watching others fly the fighter jets that criss-crossed (纵横交错) the skies over his backyard. As he sat there in his lawn chair, he dreamed about the magic of flying.
Then one day, Larry Walters got an idea. He went down to the local store and bought a tank of helium (氦气) and forty-five weather balloons. Back in his yard, Larry used straps to attach the balloons to his lawn chair, the kind you might have in your own back yard. He anchored the chair to the bumper of his jeep and inflated (充气) the balloons with helium. Then he packed some sandwiches and drinks and loaded a BB gun, figuring he could pop a few of those balloons when it was time to return to earth. His preparations complete, Larry Walters sat in his chair and cut the anchoring cord. His plan was to lazily float up a ways, and then lazily back down to ground.
But, things didn’t quite work out that way. When Larry cut the cord, he didn’t float lazily up-he shot up as if fired from a cannon! Nor did he go up a couple hundred feet. He climbed and climbed, until he finally leveled off at eleven THOUSAND feet! At that height, he could hardly risk deflating any of the balloons, lest he unbalance the load and really experience flying! So, he stayed up there, sailing around for fourteen hours, totally at a loss as to how to get down. Eventually, Larry drifted into the approach corridor for Los Angeles International Airport. A Pan Am (泛美航空公司) pilot radioed the tower about passing a guy in a lawn chair at eleven thousand feet... with a gun in his lap!
At that point, the Navy sent a helicopter to rescue him. But, the rescue team had a hard time getting to him, because the draft from their propeller (螺旋桨) kept pushing his home-made machine farther and farther away. Eventually they were able to hover over him and drop a rescue line with which they gradually pulled him back to earth.
As soon as Larry hit the ground, he was arrested. But as he was being led away in handcuffs (手铐), a television reporter called out to ask, “Mr. Walters, why did you do it?” Larry stopped, eyed the man for a moment and replied casually, “A man can’t just sit around.”
41. What caused Larry to be kept away from his dream?
A. Strict Air Force rules.
B. His identity as a truck driver.
C. His lawn chair.
D. His poor eyesight.
42. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Larry’s successful attempt to fly a fighter jet using helium balloons.
B. Larry’s successful flying with helium balloons and a lawn chair.
C. Larry’s invention of a new type of weather balloon for scientific research.
D. Larry’s preparations and plan to float using helium balloons.
43. How did the Pan Am pilot feel when he saw Larry?
A. Regretful. B. Surprised. C. Grateful. D. Thrilled.
44. Why didn’t he deflate any of the balloons?
A. Because he wanted to stay in the air longer to enjoy the view.
B. Because he was worried about unbalancing the load and causing an accident.
C. Because he forgot to fire his BB gun.
D. Because he was afraid the balloons would explode at high altitude.
45. By saying “A man can’t just sit around” in the last paragraph, the author means ______.
A. Larry wanted to avoid physical activity and preferred sitting in his lawn chair
B. Larry believed in taking action and pursuing his dreams rather than doing nothing
C. Larry was tired of flying and decided to give up on his dream
D. Larry was criticizing others for not sitting around like him

DeepSeek is a Chinese artificial intelligence company based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Established in 2023, DeepSeek develops open-source large language models (LLMs). The company is owned and funded by Liang Wenfeng, a Chinese businessman who is DeepSeek’s CEO.
DeepSeek released its RI LLM (Large Language Model) on January 20, 2025, for a fraction (部分) of the investment that major Al players like OpenAI made for their own developments. The DeepSeek AI assistant, a mobile app that offers a chatbot interface for DeepSeek R1, surpassed OpenAI’s ChatGPT mobile software to become the top-ranked app in the Apple App Store chart within days of its debut (首秀). DeepSeek’s explosive growth in popularity and usage caused a stir in the tech industry, causing big AI firms’ stock prices to drop globally.
The best part of DeepSeek is that it is an Open Source product which means it is not only free to use but its code is publicly accessible for anyone to modify and distribute in the true decentralized (分散管理的), collaborative (协作的) spirit of open source. This also makes DeepSeek 20 to 50 times cheaper than OpenAI’s GPT-3 model. DeepSeek is also relatively easy to use and can be operated in a computer of basic configuration (配置).
DeepSeek can be effectively used by students to accomplish various academic tasks to find and organize information for their studies. For instance, DeepSeek can assist with writing tasks by suggesting well-organized content structures, grammar improvements, and citations. It can also help students locate and format relevant academic references for their papers. Personalized study guides can be offered by DeepSeek using certain course materials. In order to generate a guide that highlights important topics and arranges them for review, students can upload or link to notes or textbooks. DeepSeek can also assist with language translation, making it easier for students studying in non-native languages to understand academic content, or even to improve their own writing when composing papers in different languages. DeepSeek can help students find practice questions, exam papers, and study materials relevant to their courses. It can suggest important concepts and topics to focus on based on the syllabus (教学大纲) and previous exams.
Thus, we can conclude that DeepSeek’s varied features can help students streamline their academic workload, improve their research, writing, and study efficiency and obtain better academic performance and results.

Researchers have spent decades catching and measuring birds in a remote corner of Brazil’s Amazon rainforest. They started coming here to study diversity in old-growth forests. They wanted to compare species living there to those in areas where logging (伐木) or roads have broken up the habitat. But a team has discovered a more subtle change: Birds are shrinking.
Over the past 40 years, dozens of tropical bird species have gotten smaller. Many species have lost about 1 to 2 percent of their average body weight per decade. What’s more, some species have grown longer wings. During the same time period, the climate has gotten hotter and more variable. Leaner, more efficient bodies may help birds stay cool, the researchers say.
“Climate change isn’t something of the future. It’s happening now.” says Ben Winger. “And,” he adds, it “has effects we haven’t thought of.” Winger is an ornithologist — someone who studies birds. He wasn’t part of the new study. But he has witnessed a similar shrinkage in migratory birds (候鸟). Seeing the same patterns in many different types of birds, including ones now that don’t migrate, suggests it may be “a more universal phenomenon.” he says.
Many studies have linked body size and temperature. In colder climates, it pays to be big. A smaller surface area relative to one’s volume reduces heat loss through the skin. That keeps a body warmer. As the climate warms, “you’d expect shrinking body sizes to help organisms off-load heat better,” says Vitek Jirinec. He’s an ecologist at the Integral Ecology Research Center.
Jirinec and his team wanted to see if birds that stay put also have been shrinking. They studied tropical species that don’t migrate. They focused on birds in an undisturbed part of the Amazon. (That helps rule out local human effects, such as logging.) They analyzed data from 1979 to 2019. It came from more than 11,000 individual birds. They represented 77 species. Measurements included body mass and wing length. The researchers also examined climate data for the region. The study included birds with very different lifestyles. Some live high in the trees. Others lived lower, even on the ground. And all species got lighter over time, the researchers found. On average, species lost from about 0.1 percent to nearly 2 percent of their body weight each decade. Birds could be evolving to adapt to climate change. Or their bodies might grow differently in response to warmer temperatures. Either way, the emerging changes point to the potential harm of human activity, Jirinec says.
51. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ______.
A. introduce the main topic of the passage
B. argue against the idea that climate change affects wildlife
C. summarize the findings of previous research on bird body size
D. provide background information about the study on tropical birds
52. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Some tropical bird species have grown longer wings in response to climate change.
B. The climate in the Amazon rainforest has remained stable over the past few decades.
C. Researchers have observed no changes in the body size of tropical bird species.
D. The average body weight of tropical bird species has increased over the past 40 years.
53. What does Ben Winger suggest about the observed changes in bird sizes?
A. The changes are limited to migratory birds and do not apply to other species.
B The changes may be a universal phenomenon affecting many types of birds.
C. The changes are unrelated to climate change.
D. The changes are temporary and will reverse as temperatures stabilize.
54. What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 5?
A. To argue that the shrinking body size of tropical birds is not a significant concern.
B. To argue that human activities like logging have no impact on bird populations.
C. To compare the differences between migratory and non-migratory birds.
D. To present findings on bird size changes and their link to climate change.
55. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Migratory Birds in the Amazon Rainforest
B. The Decline in Body Size of Amazonian Bird Species
C. As the Tropics Warm, Some Birds Are Shrinking
D. The Impact of Logging on Tropical Bird Species

Steamed buns or xiaolongbao, receive global recognition for their paper-thin skin and light, flavorful fillings. They are steamed to perfection, highlighting a harmonious blend of their delicate textures with the distinctive fresh and delicious broth (肉汤).
The buns, generally thought to have originated in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province, were actually created by locals from Shengzhou (嵊州), a county-level city in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, around 120 kilometers southeast of Hangzhou.
Historical records show that the owner of the first xiaolongbao shop, believed that compared with Hangzhou, Shengzhou was less well-known to people. As a result, in order to attract customers, the owner decided to use Hangzhou on his signboard.
Natives of Shengzhou doing business across the country then followed suit, naming their shops Hangzhou xiaolongbao. Therefore, for a long time, Hangzhou xiaolongbao has been synonymous with Shengzhou xiaolongbao.
Local statistics show that there are about 50,000 Shengzhou natives who, relying on Shengzhou xiaolongbao, have opened more than 20,000 stores nationwide. Most of the shops that are scattered throughout the streets and alleys exist as mom-and-pop stores, with the handmade buns being of good quality.
However, compared to the modern production processes of many food outlets, the development of Shengzhou xiaolongbao faced limitations. Since 2016, the government of Shengzhou has rolled out an initiative to establish distinctive brands for both Shengzhou xiaolongbao and other local snacks, with an annual investment of 30 million yuan ($4 million) to fuel its growth.
Entrepreneurs (企业家) in Shengzhou have also blazed new trails by pioneering a production line for quick-frozen xiaolongbao. So far, there are more than 70 quick-frozen xiaolongbao companies in Shengzhou.

第二部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分,满分50分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Eyesight, or vision, is the ability to see. Lifestyle factors such as eating a well-balanced diet, regular physical activity, taking screen breaks, and avoiding smoking can support eye and vision health. You can also practice eye exercises regularly to improve eyesight and maintain eye health. Eye exercises are physical exercises that can help to improve conditions such as eye strain (眼睛疲劳), strabismus (crossed eyes), and lazy eye.
Near-and-Far Focus
Try the near-and-far focus exercise to maintain clarity of vision when shifting focus between near and far objects. First, position your thumb about 10 inches away from your face. Stare at your thumb for 15 seconds, then break your focus. Next, look at an object about 10-20 feet in the distance for 15 seconds before returning your focus to your thumb. Repeat this sequence (顺序) five times.
Figure Eight
The figure eight is an eye exercise that helps reduce digital eye strain. Start this exercise by focusing your eyes on a spot or object in front of you that’s 10 feet away. Visually draw a figure eight around the spot and continue your eye movement by tracing the figure eight for 30 seconds. Switch the direction of the figure eight and repeat the sequence.
20-20-20 Rule
To avoid digital eye strain from screen time throughout the day, make an effort to take a break from your screen with the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, take a break from your screen to look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This eye exercise gives tired eyes some quick relief from digital devices and screens that cause eye strain.
Eye Rolling
Studies have found that eye-rolling exercises may help reduce stress and improve quality of life. Eye rolling exercises can also help relieve eye strain. To perform an eye-rolling exercise sit in a comfortable position and stare straight ahead. Look upward and slowly move your eyes in a circular, clockwise direction. Close your eyes to keep them relaxed. Finally, open your eyes and repeat the sequence in a counter-clockwise direction.
36. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Eyesight is the ability to hear sounds.
B. Lifestyle factors like diet and exercise have no impact on vision.
C. Lifestyle factors and eye exercises can support eye and vision health.
D. Smoking improves eye health.

A. To see where the thumb is.
B. To constantly adjust the distance of the thumb position.
C. To keep vision clear when shifting focus from nearby to faraway objects.
D. To adjust the eyes to the movement of the thumb.
38. How does the figure eight exercise benefit the eyes?
A. It enhances the ability to see in low-light conditions.
B. It reduces digital eye strain by encouraging smooth eye movements.
C. It helps the eyes learn the figure of eight movement.
D. It improves the way your eyes work with the figure eight.
39. What is the 20-20-20 rule designed to do?
A. Increase screen time without breaks.
B. Improve posture by reminding users to sit upright every 20 minutes.
C. Reduce the risk of developing nearsightedness by focusing on distant objects.
D. Avoid digital eye strain by taking breaks from screens.
40. What additional benefit do eye-rolling exercises provide?

Larry was a truck driver, but his lifelong dream was to fly. When he graduated from high school, he joined the Air Force in hopes of becoming a pilot. Unfortunately, poor eyesight disqualified him. So, when he finally left the service, he had to satisfy himself with watching others fly the fighter jets that criss-crossed (纵横交错) the skies over his backyard. As he sat there in his lawn chair, he dreamed about the magic of flying.
Then one day, Larry Walters got an idea. He went down to the local store and bought a tank of helium (氦气) and forty-five weather balloons. Back in his yard, Larry used straps to attach the balloons to his lawn chair, the kind you might have in your own back yard. He anchored the chair to the bumper of his jeep and inflated (充气) the balloons with helium. Then he packed some sandwiches and drinks and loaded a BB gun, figuring he could pop a few of those balloons when it was time to return to earth. His preparations complete, Larry Walters sat in his chair and cut the anchoring cord. His plan was to lazily float up a ways, and then lazily back down to ground.
But, things didn’t quite work out that way. When Larry cut the cord, he didn’t float lazily up-he shot up as if fired from a cannon! Nor did he go up a couple hundred feet. He climbed and climbed, until he finally leveled off at eleven THOUSAND feet! At that height, he could hardly risk deflating any of the balloons, lest he unbalance the load and really experience flying! So, he stayed up there, sailing around for fourteen hours, totally at a loss as to how to get down. Eventually, Larry drifted into the approach corridor for Los Angeles International Airport. A Pan Am (泛美航空公司) pilot radioed the tower about passing a guy in a lawn chair at eleven thousand feet... with a gun in his lap!
At that point, the Navy sent a helicopter to rescue him. But, the rescue team had a hard time getting to him, because the draft from their propeller (螺旋桨) kept pushing his home-made machine farther and farther away. Eventually they were able to hover over him and drop a rescue line with which they gradually pulled him back to earth.
As soon as Larry hit the ground, he was arrested. But as he was being led away in handcuffs (手铐), a television reporter called out to ask, “Mr. Walters, why did you do it?” Larry stopped, eyed the man for a moment and replied casually, “A man can’t just sit around.”
41. What caused Larry to be kept away from his dream?
A. Strict Air Force rules.
B. His identity as a truck driver.
C. His lawn chair.
D. His poor eyesight.
42. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Larry’s successful attempt to fly a fighter jet using helium balloons.
B. Larry’s successful flying with helium balloons and a lawn chair.
C. Larry’s invention of a new type of weather balloon for scientific research.
D. Larry’s preparations and plan to float using helium balloons.
43. How did the Pan Am pilot feel when he saw Larry?
A. Regretful. B. Surprised. C. Grateful. D. Thrilled.
44. Why didn’t he deflate any of the balloons?
A. Because he wanted to stay in the air longer to enjoy the view.
B. Because he was worried about unbalancing the load and causing an accident.
C. Because he forgot to fire his BB gun.
D. Because he was afraid the balloons would explode at high altitude.
45. By saying “A man can’t just sit around” in the last paragraph, the author means ______.
A. Larry wanted to avoid physical activity and preferred sitting in his lawn chair
B. Larry believed in taking action and pursuing his dreams rather than doing nothing
C. Larry was tired of flying and decided to give up on his dream
D. Larry was criticizing others for not sitting around like him
【答案】41. D 42. D 43. B 44. B 45. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Larry Walters试图用氦气球和草坪椅实现飞行梦想的故事。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When he graduated from high school, he joined the Air Force in hopes of becoming a pilot. Unfortunately, poor eyesight disqualified him.(当他高中毕业时,他加入了空军,希望能成为一名飞行员。不幸的是,糟糕的视力使他失去了资格)”可知,Larry无法成为飞行员的原因是糟糕的视力。故选D。
【42题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Then one day, Larry Walters got an idea.(然后有一天,Larry Walters有了一个想法)”和“His preparations complete, Larry Walters sat in his chair and cut the anchoring cord. His plan was to lazily float up a ways, and then lazily back down to ground.(准备工作完成后,拉里·沃尔特斯坐在椅子上,割断了锚索。他的计划是懒洋洋地浮上一段路,然后懒洋洋地回到地面)”可知,本段主要讲述了Larry为了实现用氦气球漂浮的计划而做的准备。故选D。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A Pan Am (泛美航空公司) pilot radioed the tower about passing a guy in a lawn chair at eleven thousand feet…with a gun in his lap.(一名泛美航空公司的飞行员用无线电通知塔台,说在11000英尺的高空看到一个人坐在草坪椅上……腿上还放着一把枪)”可知,泛美航空的飞行员看到Larry时,一定是非常惊讶的。故选B。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At that height, he could hardly risk deflating any of the balloons, lest he unbalance the load and really experience flying.(在那个高度,他几乎不敢冒放气任何一个气球的风险,以免失去平衡,真正体验到飞行的感觉)”可知,Larry没有放掉任何一个气球是因为他担心会失去平衡并导致事故。故选B。
【45题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“As soon as Larry hit the ground, he was arrested.(Larry一落地就被逮捕了)”可知,虽然Larry的行动导致了他被逮捕,但他仍然坚持自己的信念,即要采取行动并追求梦想,而不是无所事事。由此可知,“A man can’t just sit around”这句话的意思是“一个人不能只是闲着”,它表达了Larry相信要采取行动并追求梦想的观点。故选B。
C
DeepSeek is a Chinese artificial intelligence company based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Established in 2023, DeepSeek develops open-source large language models (LLMs). The company is owned and funded by Liang Wenfeng, a Chinese businessman who is DeepSeek’s CEO.
DeepSeek released its RI LLM (Large Language Model) on January 20, 2025, for a fraction (部分) of the investment that major Al players like OpenAI made for their own developments. The DeepSeek AI assistant, a mobile app that offers a chatbot interface for DeepSeek R1, surpassed OpenAI’s ChatGPT mobile software to become the top-ranked app in the Apple App Store chart within days of its debut (首秀). DeepSeek’s explosive growth in popularity and usage caused a stir in the tech industry, causing big AI firms’ stock prices to drop globally.
The best part of DeepSeek is that it is an Open Source product which means it is not only free to use but its code is publicly accessible for anyone to modify and distribute in the true decentralized (分散管理的), collaborative (协作的) spirit of open source. This also makes DeepSeek 20 to 50 times cheaper than OpenAI’s GPT-3 model. DeepSeek is also relatively easy to use and can be operated in a computer of basic configuration (配置).
DeepSeek can be effectively used by students to accomplish various academic tasks to find and organize information for their studies. For instance, DeepSeek can assist with writing tasks by suggesting well-organized content structures, grammar improvements, and citations. It can also help students locate and format relevant academic references for their papers. Personalized study guides can be offered by DeepSeek using certain course materials. In order to generate a guide that highlights important topics and arranges them for review, students can upload or link to notes or textbooks. DeepSeek can also assist with language translation, making it easier for students studying in non-native languages to understand academic content, or even to improve their own writing when composing papers in different languages. DeepSeek can help students find practice questions, exam papers, and study materials relevant to their courses. It can suggest important concepts and topics to focus on based on the syllabus (教学大纲) and previous exams.
Thus, we can conclude that DeepSeek’s varied features can help students streamline their academic workload, improve their research, writing, and study efficiency and obtain better academic performance and results.
46. What do we know about DeepSeek?
A. It is a hardware company specializing in high-end computers for AI research.

Researchers have spent decades catching and measuring birds in a remote corner of Brazil’s Amazon rainforest. They started coming here to study diversity in old-growth forests. They wanted to compare species living there to those in areas where logging (伐木) or roads have broken up the habitat. But a team has discovered a more subtle change: Birds are shrinking.
Over the past 40 years, dozens of tropical bird species have gotten smaller. Many species have lost about 1 to 2 percent of their average body weight per decade. What’s more, some species have grown longer wings. During the same time period, the climate has gotten hotter and more variable. Leaner, more efficient bodies may help birds stay cool, the researchers say.
“Climate change isn’t something of the future. It’s happening now.” says Ben Winger. “And,” he adds, it “has effects we haven’t thought of.” Winger is an ornithologist — someone who studies birds. He wasn’t part of the new study. But he has witnessed a similar shrinkage in migratory birds (候鸟). Seeing the same patterns in many different types of birds, including ones now that don’t migrate, suggests it may be “a more universal phenomenon.” he says.
Many studies have linked body size and temperature. In colder climates, it pays to be big. A smaller surface area relative to one’s volume reduces heat loss through the skin. That keeps a body warmer. As the climate warms, “you’d expect shrinking body sizes to help organisms off-load heat better,” says Vitek Jirinec. He’s an ecologist at the Integral Ecology Research Center.
Jirinec and his team wanted to see if birds that stay put also have been shrinking. They studied tropical species that don’t migrate. They focused on birds in an undisturbed part of the Amazon. (That helps rule out local human effects, such as logging.) They analyzed data from 1979 to 2019. It came from more than 11,000 individual birds. They represented 77 species. Measurements included body mass and wing length. The researchers also examined climate data for the region. The study included birds with very different lifestyles. Some live high in the trees. Others lived lower, even on the ground. And all species got lighter over time, the researchers found. On average, species lost from about 0.1 percent to nearly 2 percent of their body weight each decade. Birds could be evolving to adapt to climate change. Or their bodies might grow differently in response to warmer temperatures. Either way, the emerging changes point to the potential harm of human activity, Jirinec says.
51. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ______.
A. introduce the main topic of the passage
B. argue against the idea that climate change affects wildlife
C. summarize the findings of previous research on bird body size
D. provide background information about the study on tropical birds
52. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Some tropical bird species have grown longer wings in response to climate change.
B. The climate in the Amazon rainforest has remained stable over the past few decades.
C. Researchers have observed no changes in the body size of tropical bird species.
D. The average body weight of tropical bird species has increased over the past 40 years.
53 What does Ben Winger suggest about the observed changes in bird sizes?
A. The changes are limited to migratory birds and do not apply to other species.
B. The changes may be a universal phenomenon affecting many types of birds.
C. The changes are unrelated to climate change.
D. The changes are temporary and will reverse as temperatures stabilize.
54. What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 5?
A. To argue that the shrinking body size of tropical birds is not a significant concern.
B. To argue that human activities like logging have no impact on bird populations.
C. To compare the differences between migratory and non-migratory birds.
D. To present findings on bird size changes and their link to climate change.
55. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Migratory Birds in the Amazon Rainforest
B. The Decline in Body Size of Amazonian Bird Species
C. As the Tropics Warm, Some Birds Are Shrinking
D. The Impact of Logging on Tropical Bird Species
【答案】51. A 52. A 53. B 54. D 55. C

细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Over the past 40 years, dozens of tropical bird species have gotten smaller. Many species have lost about 1 to 2 percent of their average body weight per decade. What’s more, some species have grown longer wings. (在过去的40年里,几十种热带鸟类体型变小,许多物种每十年平均体重减少约1%到2%,而且有些物种的翅膀变得更长。)”可知,为了应对气候变化,几十种热带鸟类体型变小,有些翅膀变得更长。故选A。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Seeing the same patterns in many different types of birds, including ones now that don’t migrate, suggests it may be “a more universal phenomenon.” he says. (他说道,在许多不同类型的鸟类(包括现在不再迁徙的鸟类)身上都发现了同样的模式,这表明这可能是一种“更为普遍的现象”。)”可知,Ben Winger认为鸟类体型的变化可能是一个影响许多类型鸟类的普遍现象。故选B。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第五段中“Jirinec and his team wanted to see if birds that stay put also have been shrinking. They studied tropical species that don’t migrate. They focused on birds in an undisturbed part of the Amazon. (That helps rule out local human effects, such as logging.) They analyzed data from 1979 to 2019. It came from more than 11,000 individual birds. They represented 77 species. Measurements included body mass and wing length. The researchers also examined climate data for the region. The study included birds with very different lifestyles. Some live high in the trees. Others lived lower, even on the ground. And all species got lighter over time, the researchers found. (Jirinec和他的团队想弄清楚那些留在原地不迁徙的鸟类是否也在变小。他们研究了不迁徙的热带鸟类物种。他们把重点放在了亚马孙河一片未受干扰地区的鸟类上。(这有助于排除当地人类活动的影响,比如伐木。)他们分析了1979年至2019年的数据。这些数据来自11000多只单独的鸟,代表了77个物种。测量内容包括体重和翼展长度。研究人员还研究了该地区的气候数据。这项研究涵盖了生活方式截然不同的鸟类。有些鸟类生活在高高的树上,另一些则生活在较低的地方,甚至在地面上。研究人员发现,所有的物种随着时间的推移体重都变轻了。)”可知,作者写第五段的目的是展示关于鸟类体型变化及其与气候变化联系的研究结果。故选D。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第二段中“Over the past 40 years, dozens of tropical bird species have gotten smaller. (在过去的40年里,数十种热带鸟类的体型已经变小。)”可知,文章主要讲述了随着热带地区气候变暖,一些鸟类的体型在缩小。因此,C选项“As the Tropics Warm, Some Birds Are Shrinking (随着热带地区变暖,一些鸟类在缩小)”最适合作为本文标题。故选C。

阅读下面短文,按照要求用英语回答问题。
Steamed buns, or xiaolongbao, receive global recognition for their paper-thin skin and light, flavorful fillings. They are steamed to perfection, highlighting a harmonious blend of their delicate textures with the distinctive fresh and delicious broth (肉汤).
The buns, generally thought to have originated in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province, were actually created by locals from Shengzhou (嵊州), a county-level city in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, around 120 kilometers southeast of Hangzhou.
Historical records show that the owner of the first xiaolongbao shop, believed that compared with Hangzhou, Shengzhou was less well-known to people. As a result, in order to attract customers, the owner decided to use Hangzhou on his signboard.
Natives of Shengzhou doing business across the country then followed suit, naming their shops Hangzhou xiaolongbao. Therefore, for a long time, Hangzhou xiaolongbao has been synonymous with Shengzhou xiaolongbao.
Local statistics show that there are about 50,000 Shengzhou natives who, relying on Shengzhou xiaolongbao, have opened more than 20,000 stores nationwide. Most of the shops that are scattered throughout the streets and alleys exist as mom-and-pop stores, with the handmade buns being of good quality.
However, compared to the modern production processes of many food outlets, the development of Shengzhou xiaolongbao faced limitations. Since 2016, the government of Shengzhou has rolled out an initiative to establish distinctive brands for both Shengzhou xiaolongbao and other local snacks, with an annual investment of 30 million yuan ($4 million) to fuel its growth.
Entrepreneurs (企业家) in Shengzhou have also blazed new trails by pioneering a production line for quick-frozen xiaolongbao. So far, there are more than 70 quick-frozen xiaolongbao companies in Shengzhou.
56. Where is the true origin of xiaolongbao? (no more than 8 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
57. Why did the first xiaolongbao shop owner choose Hangzhou on his signboard? (no more than 5 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
58. What does the underlined phrase mean in Paragraph 4? (no more than 3 word)
_______________________________________________________________________________
59. What challenges did the development of xiaolongbao face? (no more than 12 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
60. How do you think the introduction of quick-frozen xiaolongbao production lines might change the way people consume and view this traditional food? (no more than 20 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. Shengzhou, a county-level city in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. / Shengzhou.
57. To attract more customers./ Because Hangzhou is more famous.
58. Associated with./ Closely connected with.
59. The development of Shengzhou xiaolongbao faced limitations compared to modern production processes.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了嵊州小笼包的起源、发展及面临的挑战。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“The buns, generally thought to have originated in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province, were actually created by locals from Shengzhou (嵊州), a county-level city in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, around 120 kilometers southeast of Hangzhou. (人们普遍认为包子起源于浙江省省会杭州,但实际上它是由浙江省绍兴市的一个县级市嵊州的当地人发明的,嵊州位于杭州东南约120公里处)”可知,小笼包真正的起源地是浙江嵊州。故答案为Shengzhou, a county-level city in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. / Shengzhou.
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Historical records show that the owner of the first xiaolongbao shop, believed that compared with Hangzhou, Shengzhou was less well-known to people. As a result, in order to attract customers, the owner decided to use Hangzhou on his signboard. (历史记录显示,第一家小笼包店的老板认为,与杭州相比,嵊州不那么为人们所熟知。因此,为了吸引顾客,老板决定在他的招牌上使用“杭州”这个词)”可知,第一家小笼包店老板选择在招牌上用杭州是因为杭州更有名,为了吸引顾客。故答案为To attract more customers./ Because Hangzhou is more famous.
【58题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据划线词组上文“Natives of Shengzhou doing business across the country then followed suit, naming their shops Hangzhou xiaolongbao. (随后,在全国各地做生意的嵊州当地人也纷纷效仿,把他们的店铺命名为“杭州小笼包”)”可知,杭州小笼包与嵊州小笼包是紧密联系的,所以“synonymous with”意味着associated with/ closely connected with“与……有关联”。故答案为Associated with./ Closely connected with.
【59题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第六段中“However, compared to the modern production processes of many food outlets, the development of Shengzhou xiaolongbao faced limitations. (然而,与许多食品店的现代生产工艺相比,嵊州小笼包的发展面临着一些限制)” 可知,小笼包发展面临的挑战是现代生产工艺方面的限制。故答案为The development of Shengzhou xiaolongbao faced limitations compared to modern production processes.
【60题详解】
开放性试题。要言之有理,注意词数限制。因为速冻小笼包生产线的引入,人们可以更方便地获取小笼包,不再局限于现做现吃,所以可能会使消费更方便,从而可能提高其受欢迎程度和可获得性,也会改变人们对这种传统食物的看法。故答案为It may make it more convenient for people to enjoy anytime, anywhere, possibly increasing its popularity and accessibility.
