How Bad Do You Want It by Matt Fitzgerald This book is a great look into the attitude it takes to truly push yourself to those ultimate limits.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。短文介绍了四本健身书籍的相关信息。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Gibala’s eight fundamental interval workouts and four micro-workouts can be used as an alternative to quickly increase strength and endurance in hardly any time! It’s considered to be one of the best fitness books for beginners! ”（吉巴拉的八种基本间歇训练和四种微训练可以作为一种替代方法，在几乎任何时候都可以快速增加力量和耐力！它被认为是初学者最好的健身书籍之一！）可知，这本书针对那些时间紧张但想要快速提高体力和耐力的人群，因此最适合那些工作日程紧凑的商人。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I’ve had many runners who recommend this book themselves when I ask for favorites.”（当我问他们最喜欢的书时，很多跑步者推荐这本书。）可知，文本中明确提到这本书受到许多跑者的推荐，因此这本书在跑者中非常受欢迎。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s a top resource for staving healthy and injury-free! ”（这是保持健康和不受伤的最佳资源！”）可知，Cordoza的书重点关注如何通过正确的锻炼方式保持健康并避免受伤，因此他最关心的是安全问题。故选D项。 B When Craig Miller moved to the Catskill mountains in New York after retirement, the journalist wanted to get away from traffic jam s and wildfires and enjoy a quieter pace of life. Yet, one year into his stay, he became his town’s newest volunteer firefighter. Driving around town and noticing recruitment (招聘) signs, he decided to dig further. “Speaking to fire chiefs, I realized they are in crisis since more than 60% of all firefighters in the US are volunteers, and rural areas can’t get young people to join,” he says. “The chief was trying to recruit me, saying that it didn’t matter about my age.” Miller realized that volunteering would be a good way to become a part of the community, so he signed up to train as a firefighter. “The training owned my life for three months, with night classes and Saturday sessions covering everything from operating a pump panel to throwing ladders (梯子),” he says. “We started every session with a ‘donning drill’, racing to put 18k of equipment on in under a minute. We sometimes had to do it four or five times and I was staggering (摇晃) by the end. It immediately improved my fitness.” Averaging 60 callouts a year, Miller has experienced his hair- raising moments. “I’ve been on car fires and wildfires, which are stubborn and difficult. Cars can also give off some gnarly fumes when they are melting,” he says. “The worst feeling is when you get paged, show up and you’re the only one at the station. That happened once when I was early into my training and it was terrifying thinking I would have to lead the callout.” The greatest impact has come from helping people during some of the worst moments of their lives. “It’s massively rewarding to put yourself out there for strangers and they are so grateful for us, too,” he says. Despite initially thinking he would stop volunteering at 70, Miller is now committed to carrying on. “One of the essential things in life is to feel that your efforts have meaning and that you are making a difference. I’ll keep going as long as I’m able. It gets in your blood.” he says. 24. Why did Miller volunteer as a firefighter? A. He desired a sense of belonging. B. He found his retirement life dull. C. He was an adventurous journalist. D. He needed materials for his reports. 25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. A fire rescue operation. B. The firefighting training. C. A recipe for building muscle. D. The challenges facing firefighters. 26. What made Miller feel worst? A. He got his car burnt in a fire. B. He had more callouts to cope with. C. He was unprepared for the emergency. D. He had to carry out the operation alone. 27. What motivates Miller to continue volunteering? A. He is full of energy. B. He can encounter strangers. C. He finds a purpose in his life. D. He desires gratitude from others. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本篇是记叙文，文章介绍了Craig Miller在退休之后从事消防志愿者的情况。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Miller realized that volunteering would be a good way to become a part of the community, so he signed up to train as a firefighter. (Miller意识到志愿服务是成为社区一员的好方法，所以他报名参加了消防员培训。)”可知，Craig Miller参加消防志愿者活动是因为他渴望一种归属感。故选A。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段““The training owned my life for three months, with night classes and Saturday sessions covering everything from operating a pump panel to throwing ladders (梯子),” he says. “We started every session with a ‘donning drill’, racing to put 18k of equipment on in under a minute. We sometimes had to do it four or five times and I was staggering (摇晃) by the end. It immediately improved my fitness.” (他说：“培训占据了我三个月的生活，包括夜间课程和周六课程，涵盖了从操作泵面板到投掷梯子的所有内容。”“我们每次训练都以‘穿戴训练’开始，在一分钟内完成18k的装备。有时我们要做四五次，到最后我都摇摇晃晃的。它立即改善了我的健康状况。”)”可知，第三段描述了Miller的消防培训经历。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中““The worst feeling is when you get paged, show up and you’re the only one at the station. That happened once when I was early into my training and it was terrifying thinking I would have to lead the callout.” (“最糟糕的感觉是，当你被呼叫时，你是车站里唯一的一个人。我刚开始训练的时候就发生过一次这样的事，一想到我必须领导这个组织，我就觉得很可怕。”)”可知，他最糟糕的感觉是接到火警后一个人去执行任务。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““One of the essential things in life is to feel that your efforts have meaning and that you are making a difference. I’ll keep going as long as I’m able. It gets in your blood.” he says. (“生活中最重要的事情之一就是感觉到你的努力有意义，并且你在产生影响。只要我还能做，我就会继续下去。这已经成为我的一部分。”他说。)”可知，他继续消防志愿者工作是因为他找到了人生的目标，故选C。 C Hollywood may have warned about the risks of striking up relationships with artificial intelligence in Spike Jonze’s latest feature ‘Her’. Set in the not-too-distant future, it tells the story of Twombly who finds himself falling in love with an artificially intelligent virtual assistant personified through a female voice. But one computer scientist says we may be missing a trick if we do not accept the positives that human-machine relationships have to offer. Tony Prescott, professor of cognitive robotics at the University of Sheffield argues that AI has an important role to play in preventing human loneliness. Just as we develop meaningful bonds with pets, so should we be open to the value of AI to adults, he says. The degree of the loneliness problem has become clear in recent years. In the UK, more than 79%, or nearly four million people, are known to experience chronic loneliness, meaning they feel lonely often or always. According to a Harvard study from 2021, more than a third of Americans feel serious loneliness, and some of the worst- affected are young adults and mothers with small children. The knock-on effects on wellbeing are also better understood. Loneliness is linked to more heart disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety and premature death, with an impact on mortality (死亡率) equal to smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. Failure to address the problem, would see the world continuing to splinter until we can no longer stand as a community. Whether AI can, or should, be part of the solution is not a new debate. Murali Doraiswamy, professor of psychiatry and medicine at Duke University in North Carolina, said: “Right now, all the evidence points to having a close human friend as the best solution for loneliness. But until society prioritizes social connectedness, robots are a solution for the millions of people who have no friends.” “We need to be careful to build in rules to ensure they are moral and trustworthy, and that privacy is protected.” 28. What does Spike Jonze’s Her focus on? A. Pets well-beings. B. Effects of Loneliness. C. AI’s personalized service. D. Human-machine relationships. 29. Why does the author cite the numbers in paragraph 3? A. To direct people’s attention to loneliness. B. To stress the gravity or loneliness in the world. C. To compare loneliness cases in the UK and USA. D. To clarify people’s misconception about loneliness. 30. What does the underlined word “splinter” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Unite. B. Expand. C. Divide. D. Advance. 31. What does Doraiswamy think of turning to Al for company? A. It is highly debatable. B. It is not theoretically based. C. It takes longer time to see its effect. D. It is workable but needs more guidance. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能与人类关系的话题，通过引用电影《她》的情节引出话题，并介绍了专家对于人工智能在缓解人类孤独感方面所起作用的观点。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Hollywood may have warned about the risks of striking up relationships with artificial intelligence in Spike Jonze’s latest feature ‘Her’. Set in the not-too-distant future, it tells the story of Twombly who finds himself falling in love with an artificially intelligent virtual assistant personified through a female voice. (好莱坞可能已经在斯派克·琼斯的最新电影《她》中警告过与人工智能建立关系的风险。故事设定在不远的未来，讲述了Twombly发现自己爱上了一个通过女性声音拟人化的人工智能虚拟助手的故事)”可知，Spike Jonze的电影《她》关注的是人与机器之间的关系。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The degree of the loneliness problem has become clear in recent years. In the UK, more than 79%, or nearly four million people, are known to experience chronic loneliness, meaning they feel lonely often or always. According to a Harvard study from 2021, more than a third of Americans feel serious loneliness, and some of the worst-affected are young adults and mothers with small children. (近年来，孤独问题的程度已经变得清晰。在英国，已知有超过79%，即近400万人经历着长期的孤独，这意味着他们经常或总是感到孤独。根据哈佛大学2021年的一项研究，超过三分之一的美国人感到严重的孤独，其中受影响最严重的是年轻人和有小孩的母亲)”可知，作者在第三段中引用数字是为了强调世界上孤独问题的严重性。故选B项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Loneliness is linked to more heart disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety and premature death, with an impact on mortality (死亡率) equal to smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. (孤独与更多的心脏病、痴呆、中风、抑郁、焦虑和早逝有关，对死亡率的影响相当于每天吸多达15支烟)”可知，孤独会导致死亡。结合画线词所在句中“Failure to address the problem (未能解决这个问题)”和“until we can no longer stand as a community.(直到我们无法再作为一个社区而存在)”可推知，如不解决孤独问题，死亡问题将导致世界继续分裂，直到我们无法再作为一个社区存在。故画线词意思是“分裂”，与divide意思相近。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Doraiswamy的话“Right now, all the evidence points to having a close human friend as the best solution for loneliness. But until society prioritizes social connectedness, robots are a solution for the millions of people who have no friends.(目前，所有的证据都表明，有一个亲密的人类朋友是解决孤独问题的最好办法。但在社会把社交联系放在首位之前，机器人是数百万没有朋友的人的解决方案)”和“We need to be careful to build in rules to ensure they are moral and trustworthy, and that privacy is protected.(我们需要小心制定规则，确保它们是道德的、值得信赖的，并且隐私得到保护)”可知，Doraiswamy认为转向人工智能作为陪伴是可行的，但需要更多的指导来确保其道德、可信赖以及隐私保护。故选D项。 D A recent study from the University of Guelph in Canada has revealed a surprising discovery about common eastern bumblebees (大黄蜂): These insects can survive underwater for up to a week. This finding, published in the journal Biology Letters, came about due to an experimental error when researchers placed hibernating (冬眠的) queen bumblebees in water and found them alive days later. The discovery has impressed scientists. particularly because bumblebees are land-based creatures not typically associated with water environments. Nigel Raine, a professor in the school of environmental sciences at the university and the study’s lead author, expressed his astonishment at the results. To further explore this phenomenon, Raine and his team conducted an experiment involving 143 hibernating queen bumblebees. They discovered that those placed underwater for up to seven days had similar survival rates to those not, indicating that the bees’ ability to survive such conditions may be more common than previously thought. The research underlines the strength of bumblebees during their hibernation period. a critical phase in their life cycle that has remained largely unexplored. Queen bumblebees typically hibernate alone in small holes during the cold months, which are believed to protect them from flooding. However, this study reveals that these bees possess an unexpected adaptation, allowing them to survive even in flooded conditions. Given these findings, one possible explanation for their survival is diapause, a state of suspended growth and reproduction characterized by reduced oxygen intake. During this state. bumblebees may close their spiracles (气孔) to prevent water from entering their bodies, and they might also breathe through their skin. This energy-saving mode is likely a key factor in their ability to survive beneath the water. Raine emphasized the importance of understanding these mechanisms, as it could have significant implications for the study of wild insects that help with plant reproduction, which are crucial for food security and ecosystem health, His team’s research will aim to determine whether hibernating queens can survive even longer periods underwater and if similar strength exists in other bee species. 32. What do we know about the finding? A. It matched prior beliefs. B. It concerned sea insects. C. It was fully anticipated. D. It was made by accident. 33. What can be inferred about bumblebees from paragraph 3? A. They hibernate in groups for protection. B. They are always protected from flooding. C. They have a hidden adaptation mechanism. D. They reproduce better in flooded conditions. 34. What may Nigel Raine do in the future? A. Secure research patents. B. Prioritize dietary security. C. Conduct further research. D. Raise ecological awareness. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Bumblebee Reproductive Habits B. Bumblebee Hibernation Patterns C. Scientists’ Experimental Methods D. Bumblebee Survival Underwater 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。一项研究发现，东部大黄蜂可以在水下生存长达一周，这种适应能力在以往未被发现。研究表明。大黄蜂在冬眠期间可能通过关闭气孔和减缓新陈代谢来实现这一生存技巧，这一发现对研究野生昆虫的生存机制具有重要意义。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This finding, published in the journal Biology Letters, came about due to an experimental error when researchers placed hibernating (冬眠的) queen bumblebees in water and found them alive days later. The discovery has impressed scientists. particularly because bumblebees are land-based creatures not typically associated with water environments.(这一发现发表在《生物学快报》杂志上，是由于一个实验错误造成的，当时研究人员将冬眠的大黄蜂皇后放在水中，几天后发现它们还活着。这一发现给科学家们留下了深刻印象。特别是因为大黄蜂是陆生生物，通常与水环境无关)”可知，研究人员在一次实验错误中发现冬眠中的大黄蜂能够在水下生存数天。这说明这个发现是偶然的，而非预先计划的。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, this study reveals that these bees possess an unexpected adaptation, allowing them to survive even in flooded conditions.(然而，这项研究揭示了这些蜜蜂具有意想不到的适应性，使它们即使在洪水条件下也能生存)”可知，研究发现大黄蜂在水下能够生存，这表明它们其备一种未被发现的适应机制，这一机制帮助它们在洪水等极端条件下生存。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Raine emphasized the importance of understanding these mechanisms, as it could have significant implications for the study of wild insects that help with plant reproduction, which are crucial for food security and ecosystem health, His team’s research will aim to determine whether hibernating queens can survive even longer periods underwater and if similar strength exists in other bee species.(Raine强调了理解这些机制的重要性，因为它可能对帮助植物繁殖的野生昆虫的研究具有重要意义，这对粮食安全和生态系统健康至关重要。他的团队的研究将旨在确定冬眠的蜂王是否可以在水下存活更长的时间，以及其他蜜蜂物种是否存在类似的力量)”可知，Nigel Raine强调了理解蜜蜂在水下存活机制的重要性，所以他将继续进行研究。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A recent study from the University of Guelph in Canada has revealed a surprising discovery about common eastern bumblebees (大黄蜂): These insects can survive underwater for up to a week. This finding, published in the journal Biology Letters, came about due to an experimental error when researchers placed hibernating (冬眠的) queen bumblebees in water and found them alive days later. The discovery has impressed scientists. particularly because bumblebees are land-based creatures not typically associated with water environments.(加拿大圭尔夫大学最近的一项研究揭示了一个关于普通东部大黄蜂的惊人发现:这些昆虫可以在水下存活长达一周。这一发现发表在《生物学快报》杂志上，是由于一个实验错误造成的，当时研究人员将冬眠的大黄蜂皇后放在水中，几天后发现它们还活着。这一发现给科学家们留下了深刻印象。特别是因为大黄蜂是陆生生物，通常与水环境无关)”以及通读全文可知，文章的主要内容集中在大黄蜂在水下生存的发现及其意义，因此D项“Bumblebee Survival Underwater(大黄蜂在水下生存)”是最合适的标题。故选D项。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever woken up at midnight with upsetting thoughts?

After the last class of the day, I walked across the campus with my close classmate, Tom. As we neared a quiet corner beside the old library, a series of faint meowing sounds (猫叫声) pierced the stillness. Our curiosity piqued, we exchanged a glance and immediately traced the source of the noise. Behind a messy stack of old boxes, we discovered a minuscule, emaciated cat. Its once-soft fur was now caked with dirt, and its small body trembled ever so slightly, a clear indication that it had suffered from days of hunger and cold. A profound sense of pity welled up within us. Tom bent down slowly, his hand extended gently, his voice soft as he tried to lead the frightened animal out. At first, the cat was frightened, its wide-eyed gaze fixed on us in fear. But gradually, after a few moments of cautious sniffing (嗅), it timidly stepped out from its hiding spot. We knew we couldn’t abandon this helpless creature. Tom proposed taking it to the school infirmary (医务室), believing the school doctor might be able to assess its condition. I nodded in instant agreement, yet a tinge of worry crept in as we pondered how the school authorities would respond to us bringing a cat into the infirmary. Just at that moment, Lily, a classmate with a kind heart and a skill of animal care, happened to pass by. The moment she laid eyes on the pitiful cat in our arms, her expression softened. She informed us that she had experience in dealing with stray (走失的) animals and eagerly offered her assistance. With Lily on board, our determination to save the cat grew tenfold. We held the cat gently and made our way towards the infirmary, filled with hope and a touch of nervousness. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 On reaching the infirmary, the school doctor greeted us with a surprised look. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next few days, we took turns to take care of the cat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: On reaching the infirmary, the school doctor greeted us with a surprised look. However, after listening to our earnest plea and the cat’s tragic situation, her expression softened. She quickly got to work, conducting a thorough examination. She told us the cat was severely malnourished and had a respiratory infection. While treating the cat, she patiently explained to us the care it needed. We listened intently, absorbing every word, grateful for her expertise. With the doctor’s professional treatment, the cat’s breathing gradually became more stable, and we felt a glimmer of hope. Paragraph 2: Over the next few days, we took turns to take care of the cat. We divided the tasks among us. I was in charge of bringing fresh food and water every morning, Tom cleaned the cat’s temporary shelter, and Lily monitored its health closely. As the days passed, the cat’s condition improved remarkably. Its fur became smoother, and its eyes sparkled with newfound vitality. It even started to play with a small ball we brought for it. This experience not only saved a life but also strengthened the bond between us classmates. We realized that with unity and compassion, we could make a difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和同学们如何发现并救助一只流浪小猫的过程，以及这一经历给他们带来的感悟和成长。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“到达医务室后，校医用惊讶的眼神迎接了我们。”以及第二段首句内容“在接下来的几天里，我们轮流照顾这只小猫。”可知，第一段可描写了解了情况后，校医救治了小猫。 ②由第二段首句内容“在接下来的几天里，我们轮流照顾这只小猫。”可知，第二段可描写作者和同学们轮流照顾小猫，并深有感触。 2.续写线索：校医非常惊讶地看着小猫——了解了情况后， 校医立刻开始检查猫的健康状况——校医发现小猫营养不良，并告知了作者如何照顾小猫——于是，作者和同学们开始轮流照顾小猫——他们分工明确，密切关注小猫的情况——随着时间的推移，小猫的情况越来越好，而作者和同学们之间的情谊也日益密切 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/make an explanation ②负责：be in charge of/take charge of ③提高：improve/enhance 情绪类 ①专心地：intently/closely/attentively ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】She told us the cat was severely malnourished and had a respiratory infection.（运用了省略that的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】As the days passed, the cat’s condition improved remarkably.（运用了as引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二年级英语学科试题 考生须知： 1. 本卷共 8 页满分 150 分，考试时间 120 分钟。 2. 答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场号、座位号及准考证号并填涂相应数字。 3. 所有答案必须写在答题纸上，写在试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后，只需上交答题纸。 选择题部分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分） 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How will Alex go to meet the woman?

B When Craig Miller moved to the Catskill mountains in New York after retirement, the journalist wanted to get away from traffic jam s and wildfires and enjoy a quieter pace of life. Yet, one year into his stay, he became his town’s newest volunteer firefighter. Driving around town and noticing recruitment (招聘) signs, he decided to dig further. “Speaking to fire chiefs, I realized they are in crisis since more than 60% of all firefighters in the US are volunteers, and rural areas can’t get young people to join,” he says. “The chief was trying to recruit me, saying that it didn’t matter about my age.” Miller realized that volunteering would be a good way to become a part of the community, so he signed up to train as a firefighter. “The training owned my life for three months, with night classes and Saturday sessions covering everything from operating a pump panel to throwing ladders (梯子),” he says. “We started every session with a ‘donning drill’, racing to put 18k of equipment on in under a minute. We sometimes had to do it four or five times and I was staggering (摇晃) by the end. It immediately improved my fitness.” Averaging 60 callouts a year, Miller has experienced his hair- raising moments. “I’ve been on car fires and wildfires, which are stubborn and difficult. Cars can also give off some gnarly fumes when they are melting,” he says. “The worst feeling is when you get paged, show up and you’re the only one at the station. That happened once when I was early into my training and it was terrifying thinking I would have to lead the callout.” The greatest impact has come from helping people during some of the worst moments of their lives. “It’s massively rewarding to put yourself out there for strangers and they are so grateful for us, too,” he says. Despite initially thinking he would stop volunteering at 70, Miller is now committed to carrying on. “One of the essential things in life is to feel that your efforts have meaning and that you are making a difference. I’ll keep going as long as I’m able. It gets in your blood.” he says. 24. Why did Miller volunteer as a firefighter? A. He desired a sense of belonging. B. He found his retirement life dull. C. He was an adventurous journalist. D. He needed materials for his reports. 25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. A fire rescue operation. B. The firefighting training. C. A recipe for building muscle. D. The challenges facing firefighters. 26. What made Miller feel worst? A. He got his car burnt in a fire. B. He had more callouts to cope with. C. He was unprepared for the emergency. D. He had to carry out the operation alone. 27. What motivates Miller to continue volunteering? A. He is full of energy. B. He can encounter strangers. C. He finds a purpose in his life. D. He desires gratitude from others. C Hollywood may have warned about the risks of striking up relationships with artificial intelligence in Spike Jonze’s latest feature ‘Her’. Set in the not-too-distant future, it tells the story of Twombly who finds himself falling in love with an artificially intelligent virtual assistant personified through a female voice. But one computer scientist says we may be missing a trick if we do not accept the positives that human-machine relationships have to offer. Tony Prescott, professor of cognitive robotics at the University of Sheffield argues that AI has an important role to play in preventing human loneliness. Just as we develop meaningful bonds with pets, so should we be open to the value of AI to adults, he says. The degree of the loneliness problem has become clear in recent years. In the UK, more than 79%, or nearly four million people, are known to experience chronic loneliness, meaning they feel lonely often or always. According to a Harvard study from 2021, more than a third of Americans feel serious loneliness, and some of the worst- affected are young adults and mothers with small children. The knock-on effects on wellbeing are also better understood. Loneliness is linked to more heart disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety and premature death, with an impact on mortality (死亡率) equal to smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. Failure to address the problem, would see the world continuing to splinter until we can no longer stand as a community. Whether AI can, or should, be part of the solution is not a new debate. Murali Doraiswamy, professor of psychiatry and medicine at Duke University in North Carolina, said: “Right now, all the evidence points to having a close human friend as the best solution for loneliness. But until society prioritizes social connectedness, robots are a solution for the millions of people who have no friends.” “We need to be careful to build in rules to ensure they are moral and trustworthy, and that privacy is protected.” 28. What does Spike Jonze’s Her focus on? A. Pets well-beings. B. Effects of Loneliness. C. AI’s personalized service. D. Human-machine relationships. 29. Why does the author cite the numbers in paragraph 3? A To direct people’s attention to loneliness. B. To stress the gravity or loneliness in the world. C. To compare loneliness cases in the UK and USA. D. To clarify people’s misconception about loneliness. 30. What does the underlined word “splinter” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Unite. B. Expand. C. Divide. D. Advance. 31. What does Doraiswamy think of turning to Al for company? A. It is highly debatable. B. It is not theoretically based. C. It takes longer time to see its effect. D. It is workable but needs more guidance. D A recent study from the University of Guelph in Canada has revealed a surprising discovery about common eastern bumblebees (大黄蜂): These insects can survive underwater for up to a week. This finding, published in the journal Biology Letters, came about due to an experimental error when researchers placed hibernating (冬眠的) queen bumblebees in water and found them alive days later. The discovery has impressed scientists. particularly because bumblebees are land-based creatures not typically associated with water environments. Nigel Raine, a professor in the school of environmental sciences at the university and the study’s lead author, expressed his astonishment at the results. To further explore this phenomenon, Raine and his team conducted an experiment involving 143 hibernating queen bumblebees. They discovered that those placed underwater for up to seven days had similar survival rates to those not, indicating that the bees’ ability to survive such conditions may be more common than previously thought. The research underlines the strength of bumblebees during their hibernation period. a critical phase in their life cycle that has remained largely unexplored. Queen bumblebees typically hibernate alone in small holes during the cold months, which are believed to protect them from flooding. However, this study reveals that these bees possess an unexpected adaptation, allowing them to survive even in flooded conditions. Given these findings, one possible explanation for their survival is diapause, a state of suspended growth and reproduction characterized by reduced oxygen intake. During this state. bumblebees may close their spiracles (气孔) to prevent water from entering their bodies, and they might also breathe through their skin. This energy-saving mode is likely a key factor in their ability to survive beneath the water. Raine emphasized the importance of understanding these mechanisms, as it could have significant implications for the study of wild insects that help with plant reproduction, which are crucial for food security and ecosystem health, His team’s research will aim to determine whether hibernating queens can survive even longer periods underwater and if similar strength exists in other bee species. 32. What do we know about the finding? A. It matched prior beliefs. B. It concerned sea insects. C. It was fully anticipated. D. It was made by accident. 33. What can be inferred about bumblebees from paragraph 3? A. They hibernate in groups for protection. B. They are always protected from flooding. C. They have a hidden adaptation mechanism. D. They reproduce better in flooded conditions. 34. What may Nigel Raine do in the future? A. Secure research patents. B. Prioritize dietary security. C. Conduct further research. D. Raise ecological awareness. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Bumblebee Reproductive Habits B. Bumblebee Hibernation Patterns C. Scientists’ Experimental Methods D. Bumblebee Survival Underwater 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever woken up at midnight with upsetting thoughts?
