Many species put on a display of oranges, browns, yellows, and reds every year. Here are four excellent species of maple for your landscape. Bigleaf maple Native Area: North America Height: 50 to 100 feet As the name suggests, the leaves are quite large on this tree. It has the biggest leaves of any maple; the classic palm-shape leaves can be over 12 inches wide. This large tree is an excellent shade tree for large landscapes and parks. Hedge maple Native Area: Europe and Asia Height: 25 to 35 feet The hedge maple is a great choice for the urban garden, as it does well in many severe environments: drought, salty soils, shady locations, and climates where there is ozone deficiency. It can also be used as a street tree if the power lines are high enough. Norway maple Native Area: Europe and Asia Height: usually 40 to 50 feet Known either as Norway maple or European maple, this popular species was brought to North America from Europe in the 18th century. It has since become one of the most common trees. In the right settings, this species may become invasive (侵入的), so before planting it, check to make sure it is not a problem in your region. Hornbeam maple Native Area: Japan Height: 15 to 30 feet Many species of plant within a genus have a similar appearance, but there can be surprises, as is the case with the hornbeam maple. Its leaves are nothing like what you expect from a maple. This can be a somewhat difficult plant to find for sale, but it can make a good small tree or a large shrub (灌木) in the landscape. 1. What might the name of the first maple be based on? A. Its height. B. Its native area. C. The size of its leaves. D. The function it performs. 2. Which can adapt to various challenging environments? A. The bigleaf maple. B. The hedge maple. C. The norway maple. D. The hornbeam maple. 3. What can we learn about the hornbeam maple? A. Its leaves look like hands. B. It is larger than other maples. C. It is easy to find for sale at the market. D. Its leaves differ from those of typical maples. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了四种枫树。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据Bigleaf maple部分中“As the name suggests, the leaves are quite large on this tree. It has the biggest leaves of any maple; the classic palm-shape leaves can be over 12 inches wide. (顾名思义，这棵树的叶子很大。它的叶子是所有枫树中最大的；经典的棕榈状叶子可以超过12英寸宽。)”可知，bigleaf maple的命名依据可能是它的树叶尺寸。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hedge maple部分中“The hedge maple is a great choice for the urban garden, as it does well in many severe environments: drought, salty soils, shady locations, and climates where there is ozone deficiency. (树篱枫是城市花园一个很好的选择，因为它在许多恶劣的环境中表现良好：干旱，咸土壤，阴凉的地方，以及臭氧缺乏的气候。)”可知，hedge maple 在许多恶劣的环境中表现良好。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hornbeam maple部分中“Many species of plant within a genus have a similar appearance, but there can be surprises, as is the case with the hornbeam maple. Its leaves are nothing like what you expect from a maple. (一个属内的许多植物种类都有相似的外观，但也会有令人惊讶的地方，就像角梁枫的情况一样。它的叶子一点也不像你想象中的枫树。)”可知，hornbeam maple的树叶与一般的枫树叶的外表完全不同。故选D。 B On June 6th Columbia University announced that it will no longer cooperate with US News World Report’s undergraduate rankings. It is the first top institution to do so. Might its departure be the start of a mass departure? Columbia’s decision follows a ranking scandal (丑闻) last year. In February 2022, one of Columbia’s own maths professors accused the college of having used “outdated and/or incorrect data” in several areas. In the 1980s, potential students started to expand their college search beyond their local area, and it was hard to learn about universities and compare them. Hence, US News began ranking America’s top universities in 1983, and has released its findings annually since 1988. Universities have put in significant effort to move up in the ratings. Richard Freeland, Northeastern University’s former president, capped class sizes to enhance student engagement and guarantee class quality. Consequently, it moved from 127th in 2003 to 44th this year. The ranking system used to seem unstoppable. Universities have tried to get rid of it before, only to find that doing so can backfire badly. US News still ranks non-participating universities, using publicly available information, and the data often do not go in their favour. Columbia did not submit data for this year’s analysis, and its ranking fell from second in 2021-22 to 18th in 2022-23. Recently the mood has begun to change, however, especially among graduate schools. In 2022, of the 15 highest-ranked law schools, only the University of Chicago submitted data. In May US News announced changes to its ranking methodology. It is moving away from metrics (度量标准) that rely on reputation and towards student outcomes. One way or another, the rankings-and universities more broadly-are in a state of constant change. 4. What is true about the US News undergraduate rankings? A. It faked the information for the ratings. B. It filled an information gap in the past. C. It promoted the quality of higher education. D. It’s been released every year for 40 years. 5. What does the underlined word “capped” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Limited. B. Maintained. C. Increased. D. Doubled. 6. What will happen to a university if it does not cooperate with US News? A. Its information will be removed. B. It will be excluded from the list forever. C. Its ranking will probably suffer consequently. D. It will certainly be charged with using incorrect data. 7. US News undergraduate rankings may focus more on ______________________in the future. A. the changing mood of universities B. the instant fame of universities C. achievements of university graduates D. scores given by former students 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍主要内容是：哥伦比亚大学退出美国大学排名，更多的学校会效仿吗？文章对此现象进行说明和阐述。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In the 1980s, potential students started to expand their college search beyond their local area, and it was hard to learn about universities and compare them. Hence, US News began ranking America’s top universities in 1983, and has released its findings annually since 1988.(在20世纪80年代，潜在的学生开始将他们的大学搜索范围扩大到当地以外，很难了解大学并进行比较。因此，《美国新闻与世界报道》从1983年开始对美国顶尖大学进行排名，并从1988年开始每年发布一次排名结果)”可知，在20世纪80年代，《美国新闻与世界报道》开始提供美国大学排名，让毕业生了解到他们居住地以外的大学的情况，填补了过去的信息空白。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“Universities have put in significant effort to move up in the ratings.(大学为提高排名付出了巨大的努力)”以及划线词后面的内容“…class sizes to enhance student engagement and guarantee class quality.(……班级规模，提高学生参与度，保证课堂质量)”以及后文“Consequently, it moved from 127th in 2003 to 44th this year.( 因此，从2003年的127位上升到今年的44位)”可知，为了提升大学排名，Richard Freeland前东北大学校长作出了限制班级规模的应对措施，因此东北大学从2003年的127位上升到今年的44位。故划线词与A选项“Limited(限制)”为同义词。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Universities have tried to get rid of it before, only to find that doing so can backfire badly. US News still ranks non-participating universities, using publicly available information, and the data often do not go in their favour. Columbia did not submit data for this year’s analysis, and its ranking fell from second in 2021-22 to 18th in 2022-23.(大学以前也曾试图摆脱它，结果发现这样做可能会适得其反。《美国新闻与世界报道》仍然使用公开信息对未参与排名的大学进行排名，而数据往往不利于这些大学。哥伦比亚大学没有提交今年分析的数据，其排名从2021-22年度的第二名降至2022-23年度的第18名)”可知，大学不与美国新闻与世界报道》合作，《美国新闻与世界报道》仍然使用公开信息对未参与排名的大学进行排名，而数据往往不利于这些大学。由此推知，如果一所大学不与《美国新闻与世界报道》合作，它的排名可能会因此受到影响。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It is moving away from metrics (度量标准) that rely on reputation and towards student outcomes. (它正在从依赖声誉的指标转向学生的成绩)”可知，未来，《美国新闻与世界报道》的本科排名可能会更多地关注大学毕业生的成就。故选C。 C Researchers have developed a material made of collagen protein (胶原蛋白) from pig’s skin, which resembles the human cornea (眼角膜) and restored vision to 20 people. The promising result of the trial brings hope to people suffering from corneal blindness. An estimated 12.7 million people around the world are blind due to their corneas being damaged or diseased. Their only way of regaining vision is to receive a transplanted cornea from a human donor. But just one in 70 patients receives a cornea transplant. Furthermore, most of them live in low and middle-income countries in which access to treatments is very limited. To avoid the above disadvantages of traditional cornea treatment, the researchers used collagen protein from pig’s skin. “It is possible to develop a biomaterial that meets all the criteria for being used as human implants (移植物), which can be mass-produced and reach more people with vision problems,” said Professor Neil Lagali. While donated corneas must be used within two weeks, the bioengineered corneas can be stored for up to two years before use. The pig skin used is a byproduct of the food industry, making it easy to access. The researchers have also developed a new surgical method for treating the disease. No stitches (缝针) are needed with this new method. In a pilot study, 14 of the 20 participants were blind before the operation. After two years, all of the patients regained their sight. Three of the Indian participants who had been blind had perfect vision after the operation. The researchers also want to study whether the technology can be used to treat more eye diseases, and whether the implant can be adapted to the individual for even greater effectiveness. 8. What is the disadvantage of traditional cornea treatment? A. Serious side effects. B. Low availability rate. C. Poor medical equipment. D. Complicated surgical process. 9. What do we know about the biomaterial? A. It has higher production costs. B. It can be stored for much longer. C. It is able to be used for several times. D. It can help people prevent vision problems. 10. Which of the following best describes the new surgical method? A. Successful. B. Ineffective. C. Convenient. D. Controversial. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To spread knowledge about cornea donation. B. To show the difficulties of treating blindness. C. To call on people to protect their eyes properly. D. To present a new breakthrough in the medical field. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是研究人员开发出一种由猪皮肤胶原蛋白制成的材料，这种材料类似于人类角膜，并使20人恢复了视力，这项试验的可喜结果给角膜失明患者带来了希望。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But just one in 70 patients receives a cornea transplant. Furthermore, most of them live in low and middle-income countries in which access to treatments is very limited.(但70名患者中只有1人接受了角膜移植。此外，他们大多数生活在低收入和中等收入国家，这些国家获得治疗的机会非常有限)”可知，只有七十分之一的患者能有机会接受眼角膜移植，而且大多数人还生活在低收入和中等收入国家。由此可知，在这些国家，获得治疗的途径非常有限。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“While donated corneas must be used within two weeks, the bioengineered corneas can be stored for up to two years before use.(虽然捐献的角膜必须在两周内使用，但生物工程角膜在使用前可以储存长达两年)”可知，生物材料可以储存更长的时间。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“No stitches (缝针) are needed with this new method. In a pilot study, 14 of the 20 participants were blind before the operation. After two years, all of the patients regained their sight. Three of the Indian participants who had been blind had perfect vision after the operation.(这种新方法不需要缝针。在一项初步研究中，20名参与者中有14人在手术前是盲人。两年后，所有的病人都恢复了视力。三名印度盲人在手术后恢复了完美的视力)”可推知，这项新的手术方法是成功的。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Researchers have developed a material made of collagen protein (胶原蛋白) from pig’s skin, which resembles the human cornea (眼角膜) and restored vision to 20 people.(研究人员开发出一种由猪皮肤胶原蛋白制成的材料，这种材料类似于人类角膜，并使20人恢复了视力)”和倒数第二段的“The researchers have also developed a new surgical method for treating the disease.(研究人员还开发了一种新的手术方法来治疗这种疾病)”可知，文章主要介绍了科研人员提取猪皮中的胶原蛋白，制成了人类角膜的替代品，并且还开发了一种新的治疗方法。由此推知，文章的目的是展示医学领域的新突破。故选D。 D With the help from an artificial language (AL) model, MIT neuroscientists have discovered what kind of sentences are most likely to fire up the brain’s key language processing centers. The new study reveals that sentences that are more complex, because of either unusual grammar or unexpected meaning, generate stronger responses in these language processing centers. Sentences that are very straightforward barely engage these regions, and meaningless orders of words don’t do much for them either. In this study, the researchers focused on language-processing regions found in the left hemisphere (半球) of the brain. By collecting a set of 1,000 sentences from various sources, the researchers measured the brain activity of participants using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while they read the sentences. The same sentences were also fed into a large language model, similar to ChatGPT, to measure the model’s activation patterns. Once the researchers had all of those data, they trained the model to predict how the human language network would respond to any new sentence based on how the artificial language network responded to these 1,000 sentences. The researchers then used the model to determine 500 new sentences that would drive highest brain activity and sentences that would make the brain less active, and their findings were confirmed in subsequent human participants. To understand why certain sentences generate stronger brain responses, the model examined the sentences based on 11 different language characteristics. The analysis revealed that sentences that were more surprising resulted in greater brain activity. Another linguistic (语言的) aspect that correlated with the brain’s language network responses was the complexity of the sentences, which was determined by how well they followed English grammar rules and bow logically they linked with each other. The researchers now plan to see if they can extend these findings in speakers of languages other than English. They also hope to explore what type of stimuli may activate language processing regions in the brain’s right hemisphere. 12. What sentences make our brain work harder? A. Lengthy. B. Logical. C. Straightforward. D. Complicated. 13. What is the function of the AL model in the research? A. To examine language network. B. To reduce language complexity. C. To locate language processing area. D. To identify language characteristics. 14. How did the researchers carry out their study? A. By conducting interviews. B. By collecting questionnaires. C. By analyzing experiment data. D. By reviewing previous studies. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. AL Model Stimulates Brain Activities B. AL Model Speeds Up Language Learning C. AL Model Reveals the Secrets of Brain Activation D. AL Model Enhances Brain Processing Capacity 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇新闻报道。这篇文章详细描述了MIT神经科学家利用人工语言模型进行的一项新研究，揭示了哪种类型的句子最有可能激发大脑关键的语言处理中心。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“With the help from an artificial language (AL) model, MIT neuroscientists have discovered what kind of sentences are most likely to fire up the brain’s key language processing centers. The new study reveals that sentences that are more complex, because of either unusual grammar or unexpected meaning, generate stronger responses in these language processing centers.(在人工语言(AL)模型的帮助下，麻省理工学院的神经科学家们发现了哪种句子最有可能激活大脑的关键语言处理中心。这项新研究表明，由于语法不同寻常或含义出乎意料，更复杂的句子会在这些语言处理中心产生更强烈的反应)”可知，复杂的句子会让我们的大脑更努力工作。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The same sentences were also fed into a large language model, similar to ChatGPT, to measure the model’s activation patterns. Once the researchers had all of those data, they trained the model to predict how the human language network would respond to any new sentence based on how the artificial language network responded to these 1,000 sentences.(同样的句子也被输入到一个类似于ChatGPT的大型语言模型中，以测量模型的激活模式。一旦研究人员获得了所有这些数据，他们就会训练模型，根据人工语言网络对这1000个句子的反应，来预测人类语言网络对任何新句子的反应)”以及第三段“The researchers then used the model to determine 500 new sentences that would drive highest brain activity and sentences that would make the brain less active, and their findings were confirmed in subsequent human participants. To understand why certain sentences generate stronger brain responses, the model examined the sentences based on 11 different language characteristics.(然后，研究人员用这个模型确定了500个能激发大脑最高活动的新句子和能让大脑不那么活跃的句子，他们的发现在随后的人类参与者中得到了证实。为了理解为什么某些句子会产生更强烈的大脑反应，该模型根据11种不同的语言特征检查了这些句子)”可知，人工智能模型在本研究中的作用是识别语言特征。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The researchers then used the model to determine 500 new sentences that would drive highest brain activity and sentences that would make the brain less active, and their findings were confirmed in subsequent human participants. To understand why certain sentences generate stronger brain responses, the model examined the sentences based on 11 different language characteristics.

We may keep thinking about something constantly and too long. ____16____ How can we stop ourselves from over-thinking? Doing something to distract yourself is a good idea. You can find working with your hands is especially good. ____17____ Your brain simply doesn’t have the resources to split itself into a third activity for example over-thinking. ____18____ Studies have shown that when someone views something in excitement and anxiety, the brain is forced to become stuck in the present because all of your senses are completely engaged. You do not have time to focus on something different, which can cause over-thinking. Constant wishing, hoping and praying do not give you any relief. They just keep you stuck in one place. But taking the smallest step off the crisis really matters. It will set things in motion, making you like a snowball. ____19____ The traps are things that cause your natural ability to react without you realizing that there is a connection between the two. Thus, avoiding relevant traps is also a good idea. ____20____ For example, if one of your colleagues is so negative that she always drags you down, stop hanging out with her by having lunch alone at a nearby restaurant. A. This mindset tends to ruin our day. B. Put simply, out of sight, out of mind. C. Just as a saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. D. You are really getting your brain working for you. E. Other activities are the ones that arouse your curiosity. F. It engages your movement skills and thinking process. G. Thus, you will gradually move yourself out of the feeling. 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. E 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本篇主要讲了一些阻止我们过度思考的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“We may keep thinking about something constantly and too long.(我们可能一直在想某件事，而且想得太久了)”和下文“How can we stop ourselves from over-thinking?(我们怎样才能阻止自己过度思考呢？)”可知空格前后都是关乎over-thinking 这种心态，所以选项说明过度思考的不良影响，故A选项“这种心态往往会毁了我们的一天”符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据前文“You can find working with your hands is especially good.(你会发现用手干活特别好)”和后文“Your brain simply doesn’t have the resources to split itself into a third activity, for example over-thinking.(你的大脑没有足够的资源把自己分成第三个活动，比如过度思考)”可以推断这里填的是动手的两方面，故F选项“它涉及你的运动技能和思维过程”符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Studies have shown that when someone views something in excitement and anxiety, the brain is forced to become stuck in the present because all of your senses are completely engaged. You do not have time to focus on something different, which can cause over-thinking.(研究表明，当一个人在兴奋和焦虑中看到某事时，大脑被迫陷入当下，因为你所有的感官都完全参与其中。你没有时间去关注不同的事情，这会导致过度思考)”可知，第三段整段，用兴奋、焦虑的态度看事情会抑制过度思考，兴奋对应E选项中的curiosity。且第二段doing something和E选项中的other对应上，故E选项“其他的活动会引起你的好奇心”符合语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Constant wishing, hoping and praying do not give you any relief. They just keep you stuck in one place. But taking the smallest step off the crisis really matters. It will set things in motion, making you like a snowball.(不断的希望、希望和祈祷并没有给你任何解脱。他们只会把你困在一个地方。但在危机中迈出最小的一步真的很重要。它会让事情动起来，让你像个雪球)”可以推断把事情拆成小步骤， 然后一点点滚雪球式完成， 故G选项“因此，你会逐渐摆脱这种感觉”突出一个 gradually逐渐，符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据前文“The traps are things that cause your natural ability to react without you realizing that there is a connection between the two. Thus, avoiding relevant traps is also a good idea.(陷阱是在你没有意识到这两者之间有联系的情况下，引起你的自然反应能力的事情。因此，避免相关的陷阱也是一个好主意)”和后文的例子远离负面情绪朋友，故B选项“眼不见心不烦”符合语境。故选B。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Sargassum is the smelly seaweed piling up on beaches across the Caribbean.

I immediately hid it under my seat, hoping no one would take notice. Mom had really outdone herself with masala — our family’s all-time favorite dish back in India. But today, it wasn’t just about me and my lunch. A warm smile on his face, Ricky invited me, a new transfer student from India to New York city, for lunch. “Ava, come sit here!” Ricky called out, gesturing towards a vacant seat. As I made my way over, memories of those awkward lunchtimes when I studied in Kansas, one of the most conservative states, flooded back. I could still recall how everyone would wrinkle their noses and stare curiously when I unpacked my Indian food. It always made me feel like an outsider, like I didn’t belong. Therefore, before my first day in this school, I had demanded my mom pack “normal” western-style food for me. I still remembered the look on her face upon hearing it, as she signed in disappointment and confusion, “Isn’t there a moment when you feel proud of your origin?” That was hurting, but not more hurting than others’ giggles and whispers. Honestly, long queues were common in Indian restaurants in New York city, a cultural melting pot, but I wouldn’t take that risk. Unfortunately, this morning, Mom had forgotten to make sandwich or any “normal” food, so I had to bring leftovers from our dinner. At the thought of the possible oh-no-second (社死), I felt like being thrown into darkness. However, before I came back to reality, Ricky noticed my sneaking (躲躲藏藏). “What do you have for lunch?” he asked, his eyes twinkling with interest. I tried to brush it off (搪塞), claiming I wasn’t hungry. But Ricky wouldn’t let it go, and before I could protest, he had the lid of my lunchbox open and I prepared myself for such familiar responses as “Ew” or “What is that?” 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。 However, I did not get what I was expecting. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After school, I found Mom preparing sandwich for tomorrow’s lunch. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】However, I did not get what I was expecting. Ricky took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and savored the aroma of the masala. Instead of the usual stares and whispers, there was only interest on Ricky’s face. His face lit up with a broad smile, asking, “You mum made masala for your lunch?” Before I could make a response, he added: “I could be dying of envy! You know what, last Sunday, my parents and I queued up for three hours in harsh cold in fifth Avenue for the new India restaurant.” He enjoyed every bite, nodding his head in approval. It was a welcome change from the stares and whispers I had grown accustomed to. After school, I found Mom preparing sandwich for tomorrow’s lunch. I came over and asked if I could have palak paneer in my lunchbox, which made her a bit confused. Finally, I told her about my experience with Ricky and how he had enjoyed my food. Mom’s face lit up with joy. “I’m glad he liked it,” she said. “And I’m even happier that you’re starting to feel proud of your roots again.” She paused and looked at me seriously. “Your culture, your traditions, and your food are all a part of who you are.” I nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. Mom’s words had given me the courage to embrace my identity and share my culture with others. 【解析】 【导语】本文以午餐为线索展开，讲述了作者从印度转学到纽约，作为午餐，妈妈准备了他们家在印度一直以来最喜欢的菜——玛莎拉，但和其他同学的西餐不一样，其他同学感到很奇怪，作者感到自己被孤立了，所以要求妈妈为自己做西餐。结果一天妈妈忘记了做西餐，又做了玛莎拉，作者怕被其他同学看到，把午餐藏了起来。然而被同学Ricky发现了，Ricky打开了作者午餐盒的盖子，作者原想Ricky可能又是一番讨厌，结果这饭菜却是Ricky感兴趣，爱吃的，作者很高兴自己的饮食文化被同学认同，不再为自己的饭菜而尴尬了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，我没有得到我所预料的。”可知，第一段可描写Ricky的表现和作者的预料完全不同，他对玛莎拉很感兴趣。 ②由第二段首句内容“放学后，我发现妈妈正在为明天的午餐准备三明治。”可知，第二段可描写作者告诉妈妈自己的饭菜得到同学的认同，妈妈非常高兴。 2.续写线索：感兴趣——询问——喜欢吃——告知妈妈——高兴——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①. 询问：ask/question ②. 告知：tell/inform 情绪类 ①. 兴趣：interest/taste ②. 高兴：happy/pleased/delighted 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

Many species put on a display of oranges, browns, yellows, and reds every year. Here are four excellent species of maple for your landscape. Bigleaf maple Native Area: North America Height: 50 to 100 feet As the name suggests, the leaves are quite large on this tree. It has the biggest leaves of any maple; the classic palm-shape leaves can be over 12 inches wide. This large tree is an excellent shade tree for large landscapes and parks. Hedge maple Native Area: Europe and Asia Height: 25 to 35 feet The hedge maple is a great choice for the urban garden, as it does well in many severe environments: drought, salty soils, shady locations, and climates where there is ozone deficiency. It can also be used as a street tree if the power lines are high enough. Norway maple Native Area: Europe and Asia Height: usually 40 to 50 feet Known either as Norway maple or European maple, this popular species was brought to North America from Europe in the 18th century. It has since become one of the most common trees. In the right settings, this species may become invasive (侵入的), so before planting it, check to make sure it is not a problem in your region. Hornbeam maple Native Area: Japan Height: 15 to 30 feet Many species of plant within a genus have a similar appearance, but there can be surprises, as is the case with the hornbeam maple. Its leaves are nothing like what you expect from a maple. This can be a somewhat difficult plant to find for sale, but it can make a good small tree or a large shrub (灌木) in the landscape. 1. What might the name of the first maple be based on? A. Its height. B. Its native area. C. The size of its leaves. D. The function it performs. 2. Which can adapt to various challenging environments? A. The bigleaf maple. B. The hedge maple. C. The norway maple. D. The hornbeam maple. 3. What can we learn about the hornbeam maple? A. Its leaves look like hands. B. It is larger than other maples. C. It is easy to find for sale at the market. D. Its leaves differ from those of typical maples. B On June 6th Columbia University announced that it will no longer cooperate with US News World Report’s undergraduate rankings. It is the first top institution to do so. Might its departure be the start of a mass departure? Columbia’s decision follows a ranking scandal (丑闻) last year. In February 2022, one of Columbia’s own maths professors accused the college of having used “outdated and/or incorrect data” in several areas. In the 1980s, potential students started to expand their college search beyond their local area, and it was hard to learn about universities and compare them. Hence, US News began ranking America’s top universities in 1983, and has released its findings annually since 1988. Universities have put in significant effort to move up in the ratings. Richard Freeland, Northeastern University’s former president, capped class sizes to enhance student engagement and guarantee class quality. Consequently, it moved from 127th in 2003 to 44th this year. The ranking system used to seem unstoppable. Universities have tried to get rid of it before, only to find that doing so can backfire badly. US News still ranks non-participating universities, using publicly available information, and the data often do not go in their favour. Columbia did not submit data for this year’s analysis, and its ranking fell from second in 2021-22 to 18th in 2022-23. Recently the mood has begun to change, however, especially among graduate schools. In 2022, of the 15 highest-ranked law schools, only the University of Chicago submitted data. In May US News announced changes to its ranking methodology. It is moving away from metrics (度量标准) that rely on reputation and towards student outcomes. One way or another, the rankings-and universities more broadly-are in a state of constant change. 4. What is true about the US News undergraduate rankings? A. It faked the information for the ratings. B. It filled an information gap in the past. C. It promoted the quality of higher education. D. It’s been released every year for 40 years. 5. What does the underlined word “capped” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Limited. B. Maintained. C. Increased. D. Doubled. 6. What will happen to a university if it does not cooperate with US News? A. Its information will be removed. B. It will be excluded from the list forever. C. Its ranking will probably suffer consequently. D. It will certainly be charged with using incorrect data. 7. US News undergraduate rankings may focus more on ______________________in the future. A. the changing mood of universities B. the instant fame of universities C. achievements of university graduates D. scores given by former students C Researchers have developed a material made of collagen protein (胶原蛋白) from pig’s skin, which resembles the human cornea (眼角膜) and restored vision to 20 people. The promising result of the trial brings hope to people suffering from corneal blindness. An estimated 12.7 million people around the world are blind due to their corneas being damaged or diseased. Their only way of regaining vision is to receive a transplanted cornea from a human donor. But just one in 70 patients receives a cornea transplant. Furthermore, most of them live in low and middle-income countries in which access to treatments is very limited. To avoid the above disadvantages of traditional cornea treatment, the researchers used collagen protein from pig’s skin. “It is possible to develop a biomaterial that meets all the criteria for being used as human implants (移植物), which can be mass-produced and reach more people with vision problems,” said Professor Neil Lagali. While donated corneas must be used within two weeks, the bioengineered corneas can be stored for up to two years before use. The pig skin used is a byproduct of the food industry, making it easy to access. The researchers have also developed a new surgical method for treating the disease. No stitches (缝针) are needed with this new method. In a pilot study, 14 of the 20 participants were blind before the operation. After two years, all of the patients regained their sight. Three of the Indian participants who had been blind had perfect vision after the operation. The researchers also want to study whether the technology can be used to treat more eye diseases, and whether the implant can be adapted to the individual for even greater effectiveness. 8. What is the disadvantage of traditional cornea treatment? A. Serious side effects. B. Low availability rate. C. Poor medical equipment. D. Complicated surgical process. 9. What do we know about the biomaterial? A. It has higher production costs. B. It can be stored for much longer. C. It is able to be used for several times. D.

D With the help from an artificial language (AL) model, MIT neuroscientists have discovered what kind of sentences are most likely to fire up the brain’s key language processing centers. The new study reveals that sentences that are more complex, because of either unusual grammar or unexpected meaning, generate stronger responses in these language processing centers. Sentences that are very straightforward barely engage these regions, and meaningless orders of words don’t do much for them either. In this study, the researchers focused on language-processing regions found in the left hemisphere (半球) of the brain. By collecting a set of 1,000 sentences from various sources, the researchers measured the brain activity of participants using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while they read the sentences. The same sentences were also fed into a large language model, similar to ChatGPT, to measure the model’s activation patterns. Once the researchers had all of those data, they trained the model to predict how the human language network would respond to any new sentence based on how the artificial language network responded to these 1,000 sentences. The researchers then used the model to determine 500 new sentences that would drive highest brain activity and sentences that would make the brain less active, and their findings were confirmed in subsequent human participants. To understand why certain sentences generate stronger brain responses, the model examined the sentences based on 11 different language characteristics. The analysis revealed that sentences that were more surprising resulted in greater brain activity. Another linguistic (语言) aspect that correlated with the brain’s language network responses was the complexity of the sentences, which was determined by how well they followed English grammar rules and bow logically they linked with each other. The researchers now plan to see if they can extend these findings in speakers of languages other than English. They also hope to explore what type of stimuli may activate language processing regions in the brain’s right hemisphere. 12. What sentences make our brain work harder? A. Lengthy. B. Logical. C. Straightforward. D. Complicated. 13. What is the function of the AL model in the research? A. To examine language network. B. To reduce language complexity. C. To locate language processing area. D. To identify language characteristics. 14. How did the researchers carry out their study? A. By conducting interviews. B. By collecting questionnaires. C. By analyzing experiment data. D. By reviewing previous studies. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. AL Model Stimulates Brain Activities B. AL Model Speeds Up Language Learning C. AL Model Reveals the Secrets of Brain Activation D. AL Model Enhances Brain Processing Capacity 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When we are faced with a crisis, or if we have an important decision to make, many of us fall into the trap of over-thinking.

I immediately hid it under my seat, hoping no one would take notice. Mom had really outdone herself with masala — our family’s all-time favorite dish back in India. But today, it wasn’t just about me and my lunch. A warm smile on his face, Ricky invited me, a new transfer student from India to New York city, for lunch. “Ava, come sit here!” Ricky called out, gesturing towards a vacant seat. As I made my way over, memories of those awkward lunchtimes when I studied in Kansas, one of the most conservative states, flooded back. I could still recall how everyone would wrinkle their noses and stare curiously when I unpacked my Indian food. It always made me feel like an outsider, like I didn’t belong. Therefore, before my first day in this school, I had demanded my mom pack “normal” western-style food for me. I still remembered the look on her face upon hearing it, as she signed in disappointment and confusion, “Isn’t there a moment when you feel proud of your origin?” That was hurting, but not more hurting than others’ giggles and whispers. Honestly, long queues were common in Indian restaurants in New York city, a cultural melting pot, but I wouldn’t take that risk. Unfortunately, this morning, Mom had forgotten to make sandwich or any “normal” food, so I had to bring leftovers from our dinner. At the thought of the possible oh-no-second (社死), I felt like being thrown into darkness. However, before I came back to reality, Ricky noticed my sneaking (躲躲藏藏). “What do you have for lunch?” he asked, his eyes twinkling with interest. I tried to brush it off (搪塞), claiming I wasn’t hungry. But Ricky wouldn’t let it go, and before I could protest, he had the lid of my lunchbox open and I prepared myself for such familiar responses as “Ew” or “What is that?” 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。 However, I did not get what I was expecting. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After school, I found Mom preparing sandwich for tomorrow’s lunch. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
