I used to want to be a zookeeper, but after becoming a wildlife rescue worker, I found that this work is even more valuable than I thought. Not only can I help injured wild animals, but I can also facilitate their return to the wild. We make every effort to accomplish this goal: hiding food under rocks and fallen leaves to simulate (模拟) a natural environment, or doing our best to maintain some distance from the animals and prevent them from bonding with humans.
I am often asked whether I feel at all sad when it’s time to release the animals — to tell you the truth, I’m always pretty willing to let them go. All of my efforts have been toward allowing them to return to the wild, and the wild is where they belong, so there’s no reason for reluctance on my part. But it is true that sometimes there is no way for an animal to go back to the wild, or to keep it from bonding with humans.
Last year, I rescued a light-vented bulbul (白头鹎). The bird, initially lacking feathers, recovered under our care. It was scheduled for release during its adolescent period, during which it’s relatively easy to socialize. But an injury to its flight feathers delayed its return to the wild. The bird imprinted on humans during the following two months, which was a critical cognitive (认知的) development period, leading it to return to us after being released.
When we engage in wildlife rescue, we have to teach animals how to maintain a high degree of caution around humans. If they become too trusting of humans, it is very likely that way, our success depends not on the animals, or on our work here, but more so on the attitude humans would not be a bad thing, and our release attempt could then be successful.
4. What do we know about the author’s job?
A. It was his initial career choice.
B. It forbids close interaction with animals.
C. It mainly aims to cure the injured animals.
D. It involves both rescue and release efforts.
5. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling to release the rescued animals?
A. Ambitious. B. Cheerful. C. Sorrowful. D. Anxious.
6. Which is closest in meaning to “imprinted on” in paragraph 3?
A. Was attached to. B. Was aware of.
C. Was sensitive to. D. Was cautious of.
7. What is the key to the success of wildlife rescue work?
A. Animals’ faith in humans.
B. Human’s knowledge in the work.
C. Human’s attitude towards animals.
D. Animals’ ability to survive in the wild.
C
Nowadays, the world is slowly becoming a high-tech society and we are now surrounded by technology. Facebook and Twitter are innovative tools; text messaging is still a somewhat existing phenomenon and even e-mail is only a flashing spot on the screen when compared with our long history of snail mail. Now we adopt these tools to the point of essentialness, and only rarely consider how we are more fundamentally affected by them.
Social media, texting and e-mail all make it much easier to communicate, gather and pass information, but they also present some dangers. By removing any real human engagement, they enable us to develop our abnormal self-love without the risk of disapproval or criticism. To use a theatrical metaphor (隐喻), these new forms of communication provide a stage on which we can each create our own characters, hidden behind a fourth wall of tweets, status updates and texts. This unreal state of unconcern can become addictive as we separate ourselves a safe distance from the cruelty of our fleshly lives, where we are imperfect, powerless and insignificant. In essence, we have been provided not only the means to be more free, but also to become new, to create and project a more perfect self to the world. As we become more reliant on these tools, they become more a part of our daily routine, and so we become more restricted in this fantasy.
So it is that we live in a cold era, where names and faces represent two different levels of closeness, where working relationships occur only through the magic of email and where love can start or end by text message. An environment such as this reduces interpersonal relationships to mere digital exchanges.
Would a celebrity have been so daring to do something dishonorable if he had had to do it in person? Doubtful. It seems he might have been lost in a fantasy world that ultimately convinced himself into believing the digital self could obey different rules and regulations, as if he could continually push the limits of what’s acceptable without facing the consequences of “real life.”
8. What can we know about new communication tools?
A. Destroying our life totally. B. Posing more dangers than good.
C Helping us to hide our faults. D. Replacing traditional letters.
9. What is the potential threat caused by the novel communication tools?
A. Sheltering us from virtual life. B. Removing face-to-face interaction.
C. Leading to false mental perception. D. Making us rely more on hi-tech media.
10. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Technologies have changed our relationships.
B. The digital world is a recipe for pushing limits.
C. Love can be better conveyed by text message.
D. The digital self need not take responsibility.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Addiction to the Virtual World B. Cost of Falling into Digital Life
C. Interpersonal Skills on the Net D. The Future of Social Media
D
In a recent study of healthy volunteers, National Institutes of Health researchers discovered that our brains may replay memories of learning new skills when we rest. NIH researchers mapped out the brain activity when we learn a new skill, like playing the piano. They found that during short rest, volunteers’ brains rapidly and repeatedly replayed faster versions of the activity while practicing typing a code. The more a volunteer replayed, the better they performed in later practice.
The study was conducted at the NIH Clinical Center. Dr. Cohen’s team used a sensitive scanning technique to record the brain waves of 33 healthy, right-handed volunteers as they learned to type a five-digit code with their left hands. The subjects sat in a chair under a scanner’s cap. An experiment started when a subject saw the code “41234” on a screen and typed it for 10 seconds, then took a 10-second break. They repeated this practice and rest cycle 35 times.
During the first few trials, the speed of correctly typing improved greatly-and then leveled off around the 11th cycle. In a previous study, Dr. Cohen’s team showed that most gains happened during short rests, not when typing. Moreover, the gains were greater than after a night’s sleep and related to a decrease in beta rhythms. In this new report, the researchers looked for something different in the brain waves.
“We wanted to explore the mechanisms (机制) behind memory strengthening during wakeful rest. Several forms of memory rely on neural (神经的) activity replaying, so we tested this idea for procedural skill learning,” said Ethan R. Buch. Ph. D. , a scientist on Dr. Cohen’s team and the study leader. Dr. Buch developed a computer program to understand the brain wave activity related to typing each number in the code.
Interestingly, they found that more replay led to better performance. “We were a bit surprised by these results. Our results support the idea that replay activity during waking rest may help individuals learn new skills faster and possibly help stroke recovery. ” said Dr. Cohen.
12. What have NIH researchers recently found?
A The brain activity slowly flows when we learn a new skill.
B. The value of short practice sessions can’t be overestimated.
C. Short rest makes no difference to the neural re play of the activity.
D. The frequency of brain replay contributes to practice performances.
13. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. The process of the research.
B. The facilities of the research.
C. The application of the research.
D. The preparations of the research.
14. Why did Dr. Buch develop a computer program?
A. To distinguish the first 11 cycles from the later ones.
B. To confirm the role of neural replay in skill learning.
C. To explore the potential effects of procedural learning.
D. To find out the reasons for the changes in brain waves
15. What can be inferred from the passage about the potential benefits of the research findings?
A. Beta rhythms can directly cure stroke patients.
B. The findings can boost office workers’ typing speed.
C. People are likely to improve their new-language learning efficiency.
D. The scanning technique will be extensively used to diagnose neurological disorders.
第二节 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Fruits and vegetables bring some pretty attractive benefits to our human bodies. Evidence shows that, when consumed daily, they can help reduce the risk of diseases, including heart disease and some cancers. There’s also some research to suggest they may protect against type-2 diabetes. ____16____
While most fruits come ready to eat, vegetables usually get some sort of cooking before they reach your plate. ____17____ So, if you’re going to cook the vegetable, what’s the most nutritious way to do it?
One Chinese study compared the effects of five cooking methods on the nutrient levels in broccoli. The researchers found that, except for steaming, all cooking methods led to significant losses of vitamin C.
____18____ Spanish researchers tested the effects of different cooking methods on 20 types of vegetables. While there were variations according to the type of vegetables, overall, results showed that putting the vegetables in water led to the greatest nutrient losses. That is to say, boiling isn’t the best bet if you want to preserve those precious nutrients.
As ever, there are a few exceptions. ____19____ One study found that cooking tomatoes for 30 minutes increased lycopene levels by 35%.
A 2017 study also found that frozen vegetables preserved more nutrients than fresh ones that had been kept in the fridge for five days. ____20____ If you’re not eating them within a couple of days, adding frozen products to your shopping list could serve you well.
A. So, how you store vegetables counts, too.
B. This matters because cooking affects nutrient levels.
C. According to this, we should find out the best cooking method.
D. Some nutrients tend to be more available when boiled for a longer period.
E. However, the way you prepare your vegetables actually affects the benefits.
F. Other studies have investigated the impact of cooking on a broader range of vegetables.
G. However, evidence showed that some fresh vegetables can be preserved for a longer time.

Andy couldn’t sleep. His roommates were snoring (打鼾) loudly, and the unfamiliar sounds of the dormitory kept him awake. He missed his family, his cozy bed, and the quiet nights at home. Every night, he tossed and turned, feeling more and more tired and homesick.
One night, after another frustrating attempt to sleep, Andy decided to call home. He dialed his mom’s number, and soon he heard her comforting voice. “Hi, honey! How are you?” she asked. “I can’t sleep, Mom. My roommates snore so loudly, and I miss home,” Andy complained, his voice trembling a little. His mom listened patiently and then said, “I understand it’s tough, Andy. But remember, this is a new chapter in your life. Try to make friends and get involved in activities. It might help you feel more at home.”
Andy wasn’t sure how making friends would help him sleep, but he trusted his mom’s advice. The next day, he decided to give it a try.
During lunch, he noticed a group of kids talking about soccer. Andy loved soccer, so he gathered his courage and walked over. “Hi, I’m Andy. Can I join you guys?” he asked. “Sure! ” one of the boys said. “We’re just talking about the soccer team. Do you play?” “I do! I used to play at my old school,” Andy replied, feeling a bit more hopeful. “Great! We have practice after school-today. You should come,” another boy suggested.
Andy agreed, and after school, he headed to the soccer field. He was nervous at first, but soon he was running, kicking and laughing with his now teammates. For the first time since he arrived at the dorm, he felt like he belonged.
As the weeks went by, Andy got more involved in sports and other activities. He joined the soccer team, started playing basketball, and even tried out for the school play. He made new friends and began to appreciate the sense of community in the dorm.

Nowadays, the world is slowly becoming a high-tech society and we are now surrounded by technology. Facebook and Twitter are innovative tools; text messaging is still a somewhat existing phenomenon and even e-mail is only a flashing spot on the screen when compared with our long history of snail mail. Now we adopt these tools to the point of essentialness, and only rarely consider how we are more fundamentally affected by them.
Social media, texting and e-mail all make it much easier to communicate, gather and pass information, but they also present some dangers. By removing any real human engagement, they enable us to develop our abnormal self-love without the risk of disapproval or criticism. To use a theatrical metaphor (隐喻), these new forms of communication provide a stage on which we can each create our own characters, hidden behind a fourth wall of tweets, status updates and texts. This unreal state of unconcern can become addictive as we separate ourselves a safe distance from the cruelty of our fleshly lives, where we are imperfect, powerless and insignificant. In essence, we have been provided not only the means to be more free, but also to become new, to create and project a more perfect self to the world. As we become more reliant on these tools, they become more a part of our daily routine, and so we become more restricted in this fantasy.
So it is that we live in a cold era, where names and faces represent two different levels of closeness, where working relationships occur only through the magic of email and where love can start or end by text message. An environment such as this reduces interpersonal relationships to mere digital exchanges.
Would a celebrity have been so daring to do something dishonorable if he had had to do it in person? Doubtful. It seems he might have been lost in a fantasy world that ultimately convinced himself into believing the digital self could obey different rules and regulations, as if he could continually push the limits of what’s acceptable without facing the consequences of “real life.”
8. What can we know about new communication tools?
A. Destroying our life totally. B. Posing more dangers than good.
C. Helping us to hide our faults. D. Replacing traditional letters.
9. What is the potential threat caused by the novel communication tools?
A. Sheltering us from virtual life. B. Removing face-to-face interaction.
C. Leading to false mental perception. D. Making us rely more on hi-tech media.
10. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Technologies have changed our relationships.
B. The digital world is a recipe for pushing limits.
C. Love can be better conveyed by text message.
D The digital self need not take responsibility.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Addiction to the Virtual World B. Cost of Falling into Digital Life
C. Interpersonal Skills on the Net D. The Future of Social Media
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. B

In a recent study of healthy volunteers, National Institutes of Health researchers discovered that our brains may replay memories of learning new skills when we rest. NIH researchers mapped out the brain activity when we learn a new skill, like playing the piano. They found that during short rest, volunteers’ brains rapidly and repeatedly replayed faster versions of the activity while practicing typing a code. The more a volunteer replayed, the better they performed in later practice.
The study was conducted at the NIH Clinical Center. Dr. Cohen’s team used a sensitive scanning technique to record the brain waves of 33 healthy, right-handed volunteers as they learned to type a five-digit code with their left hands. The subjects sat in a chair under a scanner’s cap. An experiment started when a subject saw the code “41234” on a screen and typed it for 10 seconds, then took a 10-second break. They repeated this practice and rest cycle 35 times.
During the first few trials, the speed of correctly typing improved greatly-and then leveled off around the 11th cycle. In a previous study, Dr. Cohen’s team showed that most gains happened during short rests, not when typing. Moreover, the gains were greater than after a night’s sleep and related to a decrease in beta rhythms. In this new report, the researchers looked for something different in the brain waves.
“We wanted to explore the mechanisms (机制) behind memory strengthening during wakeful rest. Several forms of memory rely on neural (神经的) activity replaying, so we tested this idea for procedural skill learning,” said Ethan R. Buch. Ph. D. , a scientist on Dr. Cohen’s team and the study leader. Dr. Buch developed a computer program to understand the brain wave activity related to typing each number in the code.
Interestingly, they found that more replay led to better performance. “We were a bit surprised by these results. Our results support the idea that replay activity during waking rest may help individuals learn new skills faster and possibly help stroke recovery. ” said Dr. Cohen.
12. What have NIH researchers recently found?
A. The brain activity slowly flows when we learn a new skill.
B. The value of short practice sessions can’t be overestimated.
C. Short rest makes no difference to the neural re play of the activity.
D. The frequency of brain replay contributes to practice performances.
13 What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. The process of the research.
B. The facilities of the research.
C. The application of the research.
D. The preparations of the research.
14. Why did Dr. Buch develop a computer program?
A. To distinguish the first 11 cycles from the later ones.
B. To confirm the role of neural replay in skill learning.
C. To explore the potential effects of procedural learning.
D. To find out the reasons for the changes in brain waves
15. What can be inferred from the passage about the potential benefits of the research findings?
A. Beta rhythms can directly cure stroke patients.
B. The findings can boost office workers’ typing speed.
C. People are likely to improve their new-language learning efficiency.
D. The scanning technique will be extensively used to diagnose neurological disorders.

Fruits and vegetables bring some pretty attractive benefits to our human bodies. Evidence shows that, when consumed daily, they can help reduce the risk of diseases, including heart disease and some cancers. There’s also some research to suggest they may protect against type-2 diabetes. ____16____
While most fruits come ready to eat, vegetables usually get some sort of cooking before they reach your plate. ____17____ So, if you’re going to cook the vegetable, what’s the most nutritious way to do it?
One Chinese study compared the effects of five cooking methods on the nutrient levels in broccoli. The researchers found that, except for steaming, all cooking methods led to significant losses of vitamin C.
____18____ Spanish researchers tested the effects of different cooking methods on 20 types of vegetables. While there were variations according to the type of vegetables, overall, results showed that putting the vegetables in water led to the greatest nutrient losses. That is to say, boiling isn’t the best bet if you want to preserve those precious nutrients.
As ever, there are a few exceptions. ____19____ One study found that cooking tomatoes for 30 minutes increased lycopene levels by 35%.
A 2017 study also found that frozen vegetables preserved more nutrients than fresh ones that had been kept in the fridge for five days. ____20____ If you’re not eating them within a couple of days, adding frozen products to your shopping list could serve you well.
A. So, how you store vegetables counts, too.
B. This matters, because cooking affects nutrient levels.
C. According to this, we should find out the best cooking method.
D. Some nutrients tend to be more available when boiled for a longer period.
E. However, the way you prepare your vegetables actually affects the benefits.
F. Other studies have investigated the impact of cooking on a broader range of vegetables.
G. However, evidence showed that some fresh vegetables can be preserved for a longer time.

Andy couldn’t sleep. His roommates were snoring (打鼾) loudly, and the unfamiliar sounds of the dormitory kept him awake. He missed his family, his cozy bed, and the quiet nights at home. Every night, he tossed and turned, feeling more and more tired and homesick.
One night, after another frustrating attempt to sleep, Andy decided to call home. He dialed his mom’s number, and soon he heard her comforting voice. “Hi, honey! How are you?” she asked. “I can’t sleep, Mom. My roommates snore so loudly, and I miss home,” Andy complained, his voice trembling a little. His mom listened patiently and then said, “I understand it’s tough, Andy. But remember, this is a new chapter in your life. Try to make friends and get involved in activities. It might help you feel more at home.”
Andy wasn’t sure how making friends would help him sleep, but he trusted his mom’s advice. The next day, he decided to give it a try.
During lunch, he noticed a group of kids talking about soccer. Andy loved soccer, so he gathered his courage and walked over. “Hi, I’m Andy. Can I join you guys?” he asked. “Sure! ” one of the boys said. “We’re just talking about the soccer team. Do you play?” “I do! I used to play at my old school,” Andy replied, feeling a bit more hopeful. “Great! We have practice after school-today. You should come,” another boy suggested.
Andy agreed, and after school, he headed to the soccer field. He was nervous at first, but soon he was running, kicking and laughing with his now teammates. For the first time since he arrived at the dorm, he felt like he belonged.
As the weeks went by, Andy got more involved in sports and other activities. He joined the soccer team, started playing basketball, and even tried out for the school play. He made new friends and began to appreciate the sense of community in the dorm.

One weekend, Andy’s parents came to visit and watch his soccer game. As he stepped onto the field, his heart raced with excitement. Spotting his parents cheering in the crowd, Andy felt a surge of confidence. During the game, he dribbled past two defenders and scored a crucial goal. The crowd erupted in cheers, and his teammates rushed to hug him. After the match, his mom hugged him tightly, tears in her eyes. “We’re so proud of you!” she said. His dad patted his shoulder, adding, “You’ve grown so much here.” Andy realized how much he had changed since that lonely first night.
That night, Andy returned to his room feeling exhausted but happy. His roommates were still snoring, but something felt different. One roommate mumbled sleepily, “Great game today,” before rolling over. Andy smiled, realizing their loud breaths now felt familiar — almost comforting. As he lay in bed, memories of the day’s laughter with friends and his parents’ proud faces filled his mind. For the first time, the dorm noises blended into a soothing rhythm. Before drifting off, he texted his mom: “Guess what? The snoring doesn’t bother me anymore.” His heart felt light, knowing he’d truly found his place.
