Britain is a nation of animal lovers. We love to see wild rabbits and deer, but perhaps our favourite members of the animal kingdom are wild birds. Rather than hunting them or eating them, we just like to look at them. There are lots of varieties in all shapes and sizes. Some people provide nest boxes for them in their gardens. One of our favorite things is feeding the birds so much so that the production of wild bird food is now a huge industry in our country. A new research shows this enthusiasm has had a great effect on our country's bird population. A study in the nineteen seventies showed that only one or two types of birds were fed. Now, however, over thirty types are taking advantage of the free food. Numbers of wild birds have greatly increased, which has to be good news. However, caution is needed. Some worry that wild birds may grow to depend on human help and may not be able to look after themselves. Good evening. Britain is a nation of animal lovers.

An injection of knowledge, Leeds
The Thackray Museum of Medicine in Leeds is giving a huge makeover recently.

With over 100 interactive exhibits on five floors, it is completely kid-friendly with no “don’t touch” signs.

Adults: £16; children aged 5-15: £12; children under 5: free.
Go back in time, Chichester, West Sussex
Anybody who wants to see, touch and even smell what life was like in ancient times should head to the Weald and Downland Living Museum — a museum with rural buildings ranging from early medieval England to the Victorian Age, and a multisensory, living presentation. There are also farm animals to visit, a wood and playground to burn off energy, and traditional games in one big house if it rains.

(23-24高一下·湖南邵阳·期中)I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.
I wasn’t an excellent student, because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term, I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification (资格证书) if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted, because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.
24.What is the author’s present job?
A.Working part-time in a college. B.Taking care of children for a family.
C.Helping children with their schoolwork. D.Looking after children at a kindergarten.
25.Why did the author leave her first job?
A.She found a full-time job. B.She was fed up with children.
C.She decided to attend a part-time course. D.She needed a rest after working extra hours.
26.Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A.Megan helped the author find a part-time job.
B.The author used to take care of two girls in a family.
C.In the family with two girls, the author had to work extra hours very often.
D.The author met Megan in a park.
27.What has the author learned from her own experiences?
A.Less successful students can still have a career. B.Qualifications are necessary for a career.
C.Hard work makes an excellent student. D.One must choose the job he likes.
【答案】24.D 25.C 26.A 27.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了作者找到适合自己的工作的经历。
24.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job.(我真的很喜欢我的工作,因为我喜欢做儿童工作,喜欢工作带来的挑战和奖励。)”、第四段中的“I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.(我不得不辞去在那一家的工作,在幼儿园找了份帮忙的工作。)”和最后一段中的“Now I’ve got a full-time job there.(现在我在那里有一份全职工作。)”可知,现在作者在幼儿园有了一份全职工作,她和小孩子打交道,由此可推测,她现在在幼儿园照顾小孩子。故选D。
25.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.(我的经验很重要,我上了一门兼读课程。我不得不辞去在那一家的工作,在幼儿园找了份帮忙的工作。)”可知,由于作者要上兼读课程,所以辞去了第一份工作。故选C。
26.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls.(然后我找到了一份工作,照顾两个小女孩。)”和“We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out.(我们约定,如果我一周必须加班,她下一周会给我休假。但不幸的是,它并不经常奏效。)”可知,作者曾在一个家里照顾两个女孩子,这份工作经常让作者加班,所以B项和C项陈述正确;根据第四段中的“One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me.(一个星期天,我和孩子们在公园里,遇到了曾经和我一起上学的梅根。)”可知,作者和梅根是在公园见面的,所以D项陈述正确。根据第四段中的“I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.(我不得不辞去在那一家的工作,在幼儿园找了份帮忙的工作。)”可知,文章中提到作者在幼儿园找到了一份兼职的工作,但并没有指出是梅根帮助作者的,所以A项错误。故选A。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.(我希望我早点知道,即使你在学校不是班上的尖子生,你也可以有一份事业。)”并结合作者的经历可推测出,作者在学校并不是一个优秀的学生,但她最后依然找到了自己喜欢的工作,所以不那么成功的学生依然可以拥有一份事业。故选A。
C
(23-24高一下·江苏盐城·期中)Diet can influence a person’s height, but only during childhood-until the age of 2 years. From the age of 2 to 12 years, stunted growth (发育不良) can be modified in some children, but not all of them. There is no scientific data currently available to suggest that an adult’s height can be increased through diet.
Calorie intake (热量摄取) from birth to about 2 years of age will influence the height of children. An article in The Journal of Nutrition monitored diet and socio-economic factors in more than 2,000 children, aged 2 to 12 years of age. The researcher found that each additional 100 calories in the diet was associated with an increased height of 0.13 inches in boys and slightly less in girls. The study concluded that beyond 2years of age, socio-economic status could have an impact on the height of children.
Malnutrition (营养不良) in children younger than 2 years old will cause stunted growth in comparison with their parents and well-fed brothers and sisters, but malnourished (营养不良的) children can “catch up” with proper nutrition (营养). The researcher found that about 63 percent of the children were classified as “stunted” based on height-for-age measurements set by the World Health Organization. With increased calorie and vitamin intake, 30 percent were no longer stunted by the age of 8.5 years, and 32.5 percent were no longer stunted at 12 years old.
Drinking milk has the greatest impact on the cognitive (认知的) and physical development of babies in their first year. A study examined the effects of drinking milk on the height and weight of 6,669 babies from six countries and found that drinking milk contributed to an increase in height of children.
28.What does the underlined word “modified” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Measured. B.Experienced. C.Improved. D.Accepted.
29.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.Boys grow at a higher speed than girls on average.
B.Keeping a balanced diet is important to children’s health.
C.Economic conditions have decisive effects on a person’s height.
D.Ensuring children under 2 enough calories is important for their height.
30.How does the author make the statements more convincing?
A.By quoting data from studies. B.By analyzing possible causes.
C.By explaining scientific terms. D.By sharing his personal experiences.
31.What does the text mainly tell us?
A.Nutritious diets for children’s health y growth. B.Instructions on how to raise children properly.
C.The determining factors in a person’s height. D.The influence of diet on children’s height.
【答案】28.C 29.D 30.A 31.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了饮食对孩子身高的影响,特别是两岁以内热量摄入和营养对儿童生长发育的重要性。
28.词句猜测题。根据文章第一段划线词前句“Diet can influence a person’s height, but only during childhood-until the age of 2 years.(饮食会影响一个人的身高,但只能在儿童时期直到2岁)”及划线词后句“There is no scientific data currently available to suggest that an adult’s height can be increased through diet.(目前没有科学数据表明成年人的身高可以通过饮食来提高)”可推知,划线词所在句表达“在2岁到12岁之间,一些孩子的发育不良可以得到改善,但并不是所有的孩子都可以”,因此,划线词modified与C项“改善”意义相近。故选C项。
29.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The researcher found that each additional 100 calories in the diet was associated with an increased height of 0.13 inches in boys and slightly less in girls.(研究人员发现,饮食中每增加100卡路里,男孩的身高就会增加0.13英寸,女孩的身高会略低)”可知,确保2岁以下儿童摄入足够的热量对他们的身高很重要。故选D项。
30.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The researcher found that each additional 100 calories in the diet was associated with an increased height of 0.13 inches in boys and slightly less in girls.(研究人员发现,饮食中每增加100卡路里,男孩的身高就会增加0.13英寸,女孩的身高会略低)”及第三段“With increased calorie and vitamin intake, 30 percent were no longer stunted by the age of 8.5 years, and 32.5 percent were no longer stunted at 12 years old.(随着热量和维生素摄入量的增加,30%的孩子在8.5岁时不再发育迟缓,32.5%的孩子在12岁时不再发育迟缓)”可知,作者通过引用研究数据使这些说法更有说服力。故选A项。
31.主旨大意题。结合全文及文章第一段“Diet can influence a person’s height, but only during childhood-until the age of 2 years.(饮食会影响一个人的身高,但只能在儿童时期直到2岁)”可知,本文主要讲述了饮食对孩子身高的影响,故D项“饮食对儿童身高的影响”适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。

(23-24高二下·四川绵阳·阶段练习)To adapt to climate change, some flowers are darkening their color to protect themselves from the sun’s radiation, new research shows.
The study suggests that over the past 75 years, the ultraviolet (UV) pigments (紫外线色素) in flowers have increased in response to rising temperatures and the thinning ozone layer (臭氧层). The flowers won’t look any different to humans, but insects consider the higher levels of UV pigments as a darker color, which could be confusing when they try to find out colorful flowers to land on.
The UV-absorbing pigments in flowers work like sunscreen and protect sensitive cells from harmful radiation, Matthew Koski, a plant ecologist at Clemson University, says. He and his team hoped to determine if changes in pigments were a result of environmental change and if so, what are the plants responding to? The team collected dried, pressed plants across North America, Australia and Europe. In total, they studied 1, 238 samples from 42 different species dating back to 1941. Then, using a UV-sensitive camera, they photographed flower petals from each species. Next, they paired the photographs with the historic local temperature and ozone level data from the time the plant was picked to see how the pigment level changed over time.
The researchers found that the changes in pigments differ between species, a result of the flowers’ structure. Flowers with open, exposed pollen had more UV-absorbing pigments when ozone levels were low and radiation was high. But flowers with pollen surrounded by the petal responded to temperatures, not ozone levels.
As climate change continues to intensify, these changes in flowers’ color can affect plant-insect interactions. When the whole flowers get darker, insects might miss the flowers entirely. “This has a negative influence on plant reproduction,” Koski says.
32.What is the cause of flowers’ color changing according to the research?
A.The impact of the climate crisis. B.The loss of natural habitats.
C.The harm of nuclear radiation. D.The thickening of the ozone layer.
33.How did Koski’s team get their findings?
A.By collecting photographs of flowers from different species.
B.By analyzing how levels of UV pigments change over time.
C.By collecting abundant samples from various species.
D.By analyzing historic local temperature and ozone level data.
34.What can we learn about the change in pigments?
A.It exists in flowers with exposed pollen only. B.It responds to temperatures and sea levels.
C.It remains the same regardless of species. D.It varies depending on the flowers’ structure.
35.What is Koski’s attitude toward the change in flowers’ color?
A.Concerned. B.Indifferent. C.Unclear. D.Optimistic.
【答案】32.A 33.B 34.D 35.A
【导语】本文为说明文,最新研究表明,为了适应气候变化,一些花的颜色正在变深。
32.细节理解题。根据第二段“The study suggests that over the past 75 years, the ultraviolet (UV) pigments (紫外线色素) in flowers have increased in response to rising temperatures and the thinning ozone layer (臭氧层).(研究表明,在过去的75年里,由于气温上升和臭氧层变薄,花朵中的紫外线色素增加了)”可知,花朵中的紫外线(UV)色素随着温度升高和臭氧层变薄而增加,这是花朵应对气候变化的策略,故选A。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段“Next, they paired the photographs with the historic local temperature and ozone level data from the time the plant was picked to see how the pigment level changed over time.(接下来,他们将这些照片与采摘植物时当地的历史温度和臭氧水平数据配对,看看色素水平是如何随时间变化的)”可知,科斯基的团队通过分析紫外线色素水平随时间的变化得到他们的发现。故选B。
34.细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers found that the changes in pigments differ between species, a result of the flowers’ structure.(研究人员发现,由于花的结构不同,不同物种的色素变化也不同)”可知,色素沉着的变化因花的结构而异,故选D。
35.推理判断题。根据最后一段“When the whole flowers get darker, insects might miss the flowers entirely. “This has a negative influence on plant reproduction,” Koski says.(当整个花朵变暗时,昆虫可能会完全错过花朵。“这对植物繁殖有负面影响,”科斯基说)”可知,当整朵花变暗时,昆虫可能会完全错过花朵,这对植物的繁衍有消极的影响,说明Koski对此现象是担忧的,故选A。

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。
(23-24高一下·北京大兴·期中)Art is a wonderful thing that can enrich our spiritual life. It comes in two main types: realistic and abstract (抽象的). Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects exactly as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs. 36 It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.
Realistic art is easy to understand. 37 Take the Mona Lisa, for example—it’s a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile. Artworks like this tell stories about history and everyday life, helping us to learn about the past.
Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. 38 They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people enjoy trying to figure out what the artwork expresses.
39 Realistic art needs drawing or sculpting exactly to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to show their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity.
As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world various and engaging. 40
A.Both types of art take skills to make.
B.Viewers can easily recognize what is pictured.
C.Mastering abstract art needs more artistic training.
D.Photographs show imaginary life of people from long ago.
E.Both ways of creating art have their own value and beauty.
F.In contrast, abstract art focuses less on realistic appearances.
G.Artists have the freedom to go beyond real-life representations.

(23-24高一下·浙江杭州·期中)What’s Good About Social Network
Do you remember when social media felt good? When friends got reunited years after graduation? But then came all the fake news, targeted advertising, and fear of leaking personal information. You began questioning yourself why you 56 (spend) all the time on it. This was 57 happened to many, including me. Though social media was always something I needed, the life when it was needed for sheer entertainment has gone.
But occasionally, I 58 (remind) how powerful a tool it always is. It remains unparalleled (无与伦比) in its original, uncommercialized mission 59 (serve) as a connector of people and a facilitator of friendship. I haven’t seen my friend Rob since I was 16. We fell out of touch because he lived in Scotland while I lived in London. But last month I ran across something when I was browsing through Facebook. It was a photo of a little girl, 60 I didn’t know, winning first prize in a school talent show. A photo unusually, 61 (post) by Rob, which was his first post on Facebook, was tagged with the name of the school his daughter attended, which was not in Scotland, but just five miles from my house.
Were it not for social media, I 62 (know) that Rob had moved to my neck of the woods. Both of us were amazed at how incredible it was that we’d spent years living so near without ever bumping into each other. Truth is, although we had, I’m not sure I would have recognized him without his profile picture. So 63 all the considerations and criticisms about how social media disturbs our lives, it is nice to know that, it’s still worth 64 (press) Like. Anyway, social media is 65 (replaceable) to us.

57.考查表语从句。句意:这是发生在许多人身上的事情,包括我。设空处引导表语从句,引导词在从句中作主语,意为“发生的什么”用what。故填what。
58.考查动词时态和语态。句意:但偶尔,我也会想起它是一个多么强大的工具。设空处使用动词作谓语,根据occasionally以及句意,句子应该使用一般现在时。同时I和remind之间是被动关系,故使用一般现在时被动语态。故填am reminded。
59.考查非谓语动词。句意:它在其原始的、非商业化的使命中仍然是无与伦比的,即作为人与人之间的纽带和友谊的促进者。句中remains为谓语动词,设空处使用非谓语动词,此处mission to do意为“去做某事的使命”,使用不定式作后置定语,故填to serve。
60.考查定语从句。句意:那是一张我不认识的小女孩的照片,她在学校的才艺表演中获得了一等奖。设空处引导的是非限制性定语从句,引导词在从句中作宾语,指代a little girl为人。用who或者whom。故填who/whom。
61.考查非谓语动词。句意:罗布在Facebook上发布了一张不同寻常的照片,上面标着他女儿就读的学校的名字,那所学校不在苏格兰,但离我家只有五英里。句中was tagged为谓语动词,设空处使用非谓语动词,photo与post之间是被动关系,故使用过去分词作后置定语。故填posted。
62.考查虚拟语气。句意:如果不是因为社交媒体,我不会知道罗布搬到了我家。根据前文的were it not可知,设空处构成对过去事实的虚拟,故使用would have done,根据句意,此处表示否定意义即“我不会知道罗布搬到了我家”。故填wouldn’t have known。
63.考查介词。句意:所以,尽管有关于社交媒体如何扰乱我们生活的所有考虑和批评,但很高兴知道,它仍然值得点赞。设空处使用介词与后文构成介词短语,根据句意,表示“尽管”用despite。故填despite。
64.考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。句中be worth doing为固定短语,意为“值得做某事”。故填pressing。
65.考查形容词。句意:无论如何,社交媒体对我们来说是不可替代的。设空处使用形容词作表语,根据句意,此处表示“不可替代的”用irreplaceable。故填irreplaceable。

April Fools’ Day
Nat woke early and jumped out of bed. Today was the best day of the year for him. Nat loved to play tricks, and today was April Fools’ Day.
Some of Nat’s tricks were big hits. Last year, he short-sheeted his sister’s bed. She couldn’t understand what was going on and started to think that her legs must have grown much longer during the day. When she realized what had happened, she laughed her head off.
Some of Nat’s tricks were not so successful. Mom didn’t think finding a furry toy mouse in the fridge was humorous at all. After she calmed down a bit, she said, “That’s it! There’s a ban (禁止) on Nat tricks for two weeks.”
Nat was also the class clown. He was always making jokes in class. He liked it when he made the other kids laugh. Since it was April Fools’ Day, he felt like he had to come up with something really good to provide his classmates with some really good entertainment.
For that, Nat thought long and hard before he came up with his brilliant idea. He bought two toy frogs which were made out of green plastic and looked very realistic. Nat knew just the trick he would play on his classmates.
Nat arrived at school early. To succeed in his plan, he needed to get into the classroom before anyone else. Nat’s class had a rainforest terrarium (饲养皿). It had plants, insects, and three frogs in it. Nat’s idea was to pretend that the frogs had escaped. He knew that Ms. Lopez, his teacher, wasn’t afraid of frogs but several of his classmates, including himself, were.
Nat slipped into the classroom. Good! There was nobody here. He put one of the toy frogs on the floor, near the terrarium and the other on his friend Stacey’s desk. Nat knew that Stacey really didn’t like frogs. Also, she played a great trick on him last April Fools’ Day. To make his trick more convincing, Nat pushed the lid of the terrarium open. Then he rushed off to morning gathering.
When the students got back to class, no one noticed the toy frogs at first. Then Stacey, who finally noticed the frog, screamed and pointed at her desk. The whole class exploded. A couple of other kids shrieked while the rest were laughing and banging their desks. Nat was feeling very pleased with himself. His trick was definitely a success. He pretended that he was working and reached out for a piece of paper.
Paragraph 1: It was then that something cold and wet moved past his fingers. It was a frog—a real one!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
It was then that something cold and wet moved past his fingers. It was a frog—a real one! Nat realized that he had opened the terrarium. Suddenly, there came a loud croak from under his chair. Nat almost jumped out of his skin with fright. Now he became the laughingstock of the class. What scared him even more was the only person who remained serious —— Ms. Lopez. She calmly walked down the aisle, scooped up the frog and put it back into the terrarium. Then she came to Nat’s side, seemingly waiting for his confession. Nat felt his face burning and apologized to Ms. Lopez. He also promised to be considerate from then on.

(23-24高一下·湖南邵阳·期中)I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.
I wasn’t an excellent student, because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term, I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification (资格证书) if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted, because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.

(23-24高一下·江苏盐城·期中)Diet can influence a person’s height, but only during childhood-until the age of 2 years. From the age of 2 to 12 years, stunted growth (发育不良) can be modified in some children, but not all of them. There is no scientific data currently available to suggest that an adult’s height can be increased through diet.
Calorie intake (热量摄取) from birth to about 2 years of age will influence the height of children. An article in The Journal of Nutrition monitored diet and socio-economic factors in more than 2,000 children, aged 2 to 12 years of age. The researcher found that each additional 100 calories in the diet was associated with an increased height of 0.13 inches in boys and slightly less in girls. The study concluded that beyond 2years of age, socio-economic status could have an impact on the height of children.
Malnutrition (营养不良) in children younger than 2 years old will cause stunted growth in comparison with their parents and well-fed brothers and sisters, but malnourished (营养不良的) children can “catch up” with proper nutrition (营养). The researcher found that about 63 percent of the children were classified as “stunted” based on height-for-age measurements set by the World Health Organization. With increased calorie and vitamin intake, 30 percent were no longer stunted by the age of 8.5 years, and 32.5 percent were no longer stunted at 12 years old.
Drinking milk has the greatest impact on the cognitive (认知的) and physical development of babies in their first year. A study examined the effects of drinking milk on the height and weight of 6,669 babies from six countries and found that drinking milk contributed to an increase in height of children.
28.What does the underlined word “modified” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Measured. B.Experienced. C.Improved. D.Accepted.
29.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.Boys grow at a higher speed than girls on average.
B.Keeping a balanced diet is important to children’s health.
C.Economic conditions have decisive effects on a person’s height.
D.Ensuring children under 2 enough calories is important for their height.
30.How does the author make the statements more convincing?
A.By quoting data from studies. B.By analyzing possible causes.
C.By explaining scientific terms. D.By sharing his personal experiences.
31.What does the text mainly tell us?
A.Nutritious diets for children’s health y growth. B.Instructions on how to raise children properly.
C.The determining factors in a person’s height. D.The influence of diet on children’s height.

(23-24高二下·四川绵阳·阶段练习)To adapt to climate change, some flowers are darkening their color to protect themselves from the sun’s radiation, new research shows.
The study suggests that over the past 75 years, the ultraviolet (UV) pigments (紫外线色素) in flowers have increased in response to rising temperatures and the thinning ozone layer (臭氧层). The flowers won’t look any different to humans, but insects consider the higher levels of UV pigments as a darker color, which could be confusing when they try to find out colorful flowers to land on.
The UV-absorbing pigments in flowers work like sunscreen and protect sensitive cells from harmful radiation, Matthew Koski, a plant ecologist at Clemson University, says. He and his team hoped to determine if changes in pigments were a result of environmental change and if so, what are the plants responding to? The team collected dried, pressed plants across North America, Australia and Europe. In total, they studied 1, 238 samples from 42 different species dating back to 1941. Then, using a UV-sensitive camera, they photographed flower petals from each species. Next, they paired the photographs with the historic local temperature and ozone level data from the time the plant was picked to see how the pigment level changed over time.
The researchers found that the changes in pigments differ between species, a result of the flowers’ structure. Flowers with open, exposed pollen had more UV-absorbing pigments when ozone levels were low and radiation was high. But flowers with pollen surrounded by the petal responded to temperatures, not ozone levels.
As climate change continues to intensify, these changes in flowers’ color can affect plant-insect interactions. When the whole flowers get darker, insects might miss the flowers entirely. “This has a negative influence on plant reproduction,” Koski says.
32.What is the cause of flowers’ color changing according to the research?
A.The impact of the climate crisis. B.The loss of natural habitats.
C.The harm of nuclear radiation. D.The thickening of the ozone layer.
33.How did Koski’s team get their findings?
A.By collecting photographs of flowers from different species.
B.By analyzing how levels of UV pigments change over time.
C.By collecting abundant samples from various species.
D.By analyzing historic local temperature and ozone level data.
34.What can we learn about the change in pigments?
A.It exists in flowers with exposed pollen only. B.It responds to temperatures and sea levels.
C.It remains the same regardless of species. D.It varies depending on the flowers’ structure.
35.What is Koski’s attitude toward the change in flowers’ color?
A.Concerned. B.Indifferent. C.Unclear. D.Optimistic.

(23-24高一下·北京大兴·期中)Art is a wonderful thing that can enrich our spiritual life. It comes in two main types: realistic and abstract (抽象的). Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects exactly as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs. 36 It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.
Realistic art is easy to understand. 37 Take the Mona Lisa, for example—it’s a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile. Artworks like this tell stories about history and everyday life, helping us to learn about the past.
Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. 38 They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people enjoy trying to figure out what the artwork expresses.
39 Realistic art needs drawing or sculpting exactly to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to show their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity.
As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world various and engaging. 40
A.Both types of art take skills to make.
B.Viewers can easily recognize what is pictured.
C.Mastering abstract art needs more artistic training.
D.Photographs show imaginary life of people from long ago.
E.Both ways of creating art have their own value and beauty.
F.In contrast, abstract art focuses less on realistic appearances.
G.Artists have the freedom to go beyond real-life representations.

(23-24高一下·浙江杭州·期中)What’s Good About Social Network
Do you remember when social media felt good? When friends got reunited years after graduation? But then came all the fake news, targeted advertising, and fear of leaking personal information. You began questioning yourself why you 56 (spend) all the time on it. This was 57 happened to many, including me. Though social media was always something I needed, the life when it was needed for sheer entertainment has gone.
But occasionally, I 58 (remind) how powerful a tool it always is. It remains unparalleled (无与伦比) in its original, uncommercialized mission 59 (serve) as a connector of people and a facilitator of friendship. I haven’t seen my friend Rob since I was 16. We fell out of touch because he lived in Scotland while I lived in London. But last month I ran across something when I was browsing through Facebook. It was a photo of a little girl, 60 I didn’t know, winning first prize in a school talent show. A photo unusually, 61 (post) by Rob, which was his first post on Facebook, was tagged with the name of the school his daughter attended, which was not in Scotland, but just five miles from my house.
Were it not for social media, I 62 (know) that Rob had moved to my neck of the woods. Both of us were amazed at how incredible it was that we’d spent years living so near without ever bumping into each other. Truth is, although we had, I’m not sure I would have recognized him without his profile picture. So 63 all the considerations and criticisms about how social media disturbs our lives, it is nice to know that, it’s still worth 64 (press) Like. Anyway, social media is 65 (replaceable) to us.

(23-24高一下·浙江杭州·期中)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写一段话,字数为100字左右,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
April Fools’ Day
Nat woke early and jumped out of bed. Today was the best day of the year for him. Nat loved to play tricks, and today was April Fools’ Day.
Some of Nat’s tricks were big hits. Last year, he short-sheeted his sister’s bed. She couldn’t understand what was going on and started to think that her legs must have grown much longer during the day. When she realized what had happened, she laughed her head off.
Some of Nat’s tricks were not so successful. Mom didn’t think finding a furry toy mouse in the fridge was humorous at all. After she calmed down a bit, she said, “That’s it! There’s a ban (禁止) on Nat tricks for two weeks.”
Nat was also the class clown. He was always making jokes in class. He liked it when he made the other kids laugh. Since it was April Fools’ Day, he felt like he had to come up with something really good to provide his classmates with some really good entertainment.
For that, Nat thought long and hard before he came up with his brilliant idea. He bought two toy frogs which were made out of green plastic and looked very realistic. Nat knew just the trick he would play on his classmates.
Nat arrived at school early. To succeed in his plan, he needed to get into the classroom before anyone else. Nat’s class had a rainforest terrarium (饲养皿). It had plants, insects, and three frogs in it. Nat’s idea was to pretend that the frogs had escaped. He knew that Ms. Lopez, his teacher, wasn’t afraid of frogs but several of his classmates, including himself, were.
Nat slipped into the classroom. Good! There was nobody here. He put one of the toy frogs on the floor, near the terrarium and the other on his friend Stacey’s desk. Nat knew that Stacey really didn’t like frogs. Also, she played a great trick on him last April Fools’ Day. To make his trick more convincing, Nat pushed the lid of the terrarium open. Then he rushed off to morning gathering.
When the students got back to class, no one noticed the toy frogs at first. Then Stacey, who finally noticed the frog, screamed and pointed at her desk. The whole class exploded. A couple of other kids shrieked while the rest were laughing and banging their desks. Nat was feeling very pleased with himself. His trick was definitely a success. He pretended that he was working and reached out for a piece of paper.
Paragraph 1: It was then that something cold and wet moved past his fingers. It was a frog—a real one!
