It’s also backed by a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. (它由一个快速而经济的四缸发动机提供动力。它还拥有10年/10万英里的动力系统保修)”可知，如果注重SUV的动力传动系统保修，2025 Hyundai Tucson(2025款现代途胜)是个不错的选择。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中对三款车的介绍，“SEATING: 5 DRIVETRAIN: FWD, AWD (座位：5个 动力传动系统：前轮驱动，全轮驱动)”在三款车的特征中都有提及，即“The three SUVs share the same seating and drivetrain.(这三款SUV有相同的座位数和传动系统)”。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you are looking for more interior and cargo space than sedans offer, compact SUVs can be a great choice. We highlight the best compact SUVs below to help get you started.(如果你想要比轿车更多的内部和货物空间，紧凑型SUV是一个不错的选择。我们在下面突出介绍了最好的紧凑型SUV，以帮助您入门)”可知，文章主要是为了向读者推荐最好的紧凑型SUV。故选B项。 B The Greek philosopher Aristotle once said, “For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them. ” This method of “learning by doing” has allowed Barefoot College to successfully train and educate millions of underprivileged people. As the founder of the college, Sanjit “Bunker” Roy did some volunteer work in a poor region of India shortly after his graduation from Deli University. The experience changed his life, and in 1972 he set up the college with the aim to help rural communities overcome their difficulties and become more independent. Barefoot College is unlike any other college. All of its students around the world are from poor rural communities. They don't have to be able to read or write—indeed, many can't. People of any age can attend —the school has a wide range of students, from children to grandmothers. The college is owned and managed by everyone who works and learns here. These “Barefoot Professionals” are trained to perform all sorts of duties in the school, from providing dental care services to cooking meals for staff and students. No degrees or certificates are given out. But graduates return to their villages with their new skills and work to make their communities self-sufficient by training other villagers. Being able to use their skills to serve their communities is proof of success. The solar engineering program at Barefoot College has a significant role. Every year, the college recruits middle-aged women from rural villages that don't have electricity. For six months, the women learn how to build, install, use, and maintain solar lamps. The lack of a common language isn't a problem; they communicate through sign language and work with color-coded equipment. Through hands-on training, the women transform into solar engineers by the end of the program. The self-confidence they gain allows them to go on and inspire positive change in their villages. Since 2008, the women have managed to provide electricity to over 1, 000 villages, bringing light to more than 40, 000 households. Barefoot College has demonstrated how education can empower rural people and help them live better lives. After its success in India, Barefoot College decided to expand its programs overseas. Today, it has a number of regional training centers in countries such as Ethiopia, Afghanistan, and Senegal. Through their hard work and dedication, thousands of Barefoot College graduates and teachers have transformed their communities into better places to live. 4. What does the underlined word “underprivileged” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Physically disabled. B. Poverty-stricken. C. Poorly-informed. D. Better off. 5. What can we learn about Barefoot College according to paragraph 2? A. It provides regular university courses. B. It offers diplomas and certificates to its graduates. C. It is run by professional educators. D. It features a diverse range of students. 6. What is the impact of Barefoot College's solar engineering program? A. It has established solar power plants in major Indian cities. B. It has dramatically reduced India's carbon emissions in rural areas. C. It has provided electricity to thousands of households in remote villages. D. It has empowered women to communicate with sign language. 7. What is the main message of the text? A. The significance of volunteer work in rural communities. B. The challenges faced by poor people in rural areas. C. The power of education to relieve poverty and promote well-being. D. The success of solar engineering programs in rural India. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了文章以亚里士多德“做中学”理念引出，介绍了赤脚学院通过该理念成功培训和教育众多弱势群体。学院创始人桑吉特・“邦克”・罗伊受印度贫困地区志愿经历影响，于 1972 年创办此学院，旨在助力农村社区克服困难、实现独立。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“As the founder of the college, Sanjit “Bunker” Roy did some volunteer work in a poor region of India shortly after his graduation from Deli University. The experience changed his life, and in 1972 he set up the college with the aim to help rural communities overcome their difficulties and become more independent.(作为学院的创始人，桑吉特·“邦克”·罗伊从德里大学毕业后不久就在印度的一个贫困地区做了一些志愿者工作。这段经历改变了他的一生。1972年，他创办了这所学院，旨在帮助农村社区克服困难，变得更加独立。)”由此可知，此处为这种“边做边学”的方法使赤脚学院成功地培训和教育了数百万贫困人口。故可猜测划线单词underprivileged为“贫困的”意思，和B选项Poverty-stricken“贫困的”意思一致。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Barefoot College is unlike any other college. All of its students around the world are from poor rural communities. They don't have to be able to read or write—indeed, many can't. People of any age can attend —the school has a wide range of students, from children to grandmothers.( 赤脚学院不同于其他任何学院。它在世界各地的所有学生都来自贫困的农村社区。他们不需要会读或写——事实上，很多人不会。任何年龄的人都可以入学——这所学校的学生范围很广，从儿童到老奶奶都有。)”可知，根据第2段，我们可以了解到赤脚学院它的特点是各种各样的学生。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Through hands-on training, the women transform into solar engineers by the end of the program. The self-confidence they gain allows them to go on and inspire positive change in their villages. Since 2008, the women have managed to provide electricity to over 1, 000 villages, bringing light to more than 40, 000 households.( 通过实践培训，这些女性在项目结束时变成了太阳能工程师。他们获得的自信使他们能够继续前进，并在他们的村庄激发积极的变化。自2008年以来，这些女性已经成功地为1000多个村庄提供了电力，为4万多户家庭带来了光明。)”可知，赤脚学院太阳能工程项目的影响是它为偏远村庄的数千户家庭提供了电力。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“Barefoot College has demonstrated how education can empower rural people and help them live better lives. After its success in India, Barefoot College decided to expand its programs overseas. Today, it has a number of regional training centers in countries such as Ethiopia, Afghanistan, and Senegal. Through their hard work and dedication, thousands of Barefoot College graduates and teachers have transformed their communities into better places to live.( 赤脚学院展示了教育如何赋予农村人民权力，帮助他们过上更好的生活。在印度取得成功后，赤脚学院决定将其项目扩展到海外。如今，该组织在埃塞俄比亚、阿富汗和塞内加尔等国设有多个区域培训中心。通过他们的辛勤工作和奉献，数千名赤脚大学毕业生和教师将他们的社区变成了更好的居住场所。)”可知，这篇文章主要信息是教育在减轻贫困和促进福祉方面的力量。故选C项。 C Dogs may appear to have selective hearing when it comes to orders but research suggests they are paying attention to human chitchat. Researchers, who arranged for headphone-wearing dogs to listen to excerpts (节录) from the novel The Little Prince, revealed their brains can tell the differences between speech and non-speech when listening to human voices, and show different responses to speech in an unfamiliar language. The research involved 18 dogs of various ages and breeds (品种) that were trained to lie in an MRI scanner with headphones on. They were then played recordings either of humans reading excerpts from The Little Prince or those same recordings cut up into small pieces and put back together in a different order so it sounded unnatural. The results, published in the journal Neuro Image, revealed the dogs’ brains showed a different activity pattern in the primary auditory cortex (听觉皮层) for speech compared with non-speech, with the findings similar regardless of whether the language used—Hungarian or Spanish—was familiar. Curiously, the longer the dogs’ heads were, the better their brains could distinguish speech from non-speech. The team also found the activity pattern was stronger for non-speech. In humans, we typically see stronger response to speech. The research also revealed familiar and unfamiliar languages gave rise to different responses in the secondary auditory cortex—but only for speech. That was important, said Andics, senior author of the study at Loránd University in Hungary, as it suggested the ability to distinguish between languages was not simply down to the speakers being different. Instead, the team said, the differences seen between languages for speech are probably down to exposure to the familiar language and a sensitivity to language-specific regularities. “This is also supported by the observation that older dogs show the stronger discrimination between the two languages,” said Andics. 8. What’s the function of Paragraph 1? A. To make a comparison. B. To introduce the subject. C. To provide the background. D. To propose a definition. 9. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The process of the research. B. The purpose of the research. C. The subject of the research. D. The outcome of the research. 10. On what basis did the researchers get their findings? A. How old and what breeds the dogs are. B. How many times the dogs read the book. C. How dogs’ brains react to different speeches. D. How dogs get familiar with the languages used. 11. Why could older dogs have stronger discrimination? A. They have met more different speakers. B. They have been exposed to stricter training. C. They possess a better sense of commitment. D. They share the speakers’ environment longer. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究发现狗狗可以识别出人的闲谈，介绍了研究对象、方法、过程和结果。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Dogs may appear to have selective hearing when it comes to orders but research suggests they are paying attention to human chitchat. (狗在听到命令时似乎有选择性听力，但研究表明它们一直在关注人类的闲聊)”结合下文对这一现象的研究推知，该段用来引出狗狗可以识别人的闲谈这一主题。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The research involved 18 dogs of various ages and breeds (品种) that were trained to lie in an MRI scanner with headphones on. They were then played recordings either of humans reading excerpts from The Little Prince or those same recordings cut up into small pieces and put back together in a different order so it sounded unnatural. (该研究涉及18只不同年龄和品种的狗，这些狗被训练成戴着耳机躺在MRI扫描仪中，然后播放录音。要么是人们阅读《小王子》的节选，要么是那些相同的录音被分成几部分，然后以不同的顺序重新组合在一起，因此听起来不自然)”可知，本段介绍了实验的对象，实验如何分组和实施。故该段讲的是实验的过程。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The results, published in the journal Neuro Image, revealed the dogs’ brains showed a different activity pattern in the primary auditory cortex (听觉皮层) for speech compared with non-speech, with the findings similar regardless of whether the language used—Hungarian or Spanish—was familiar. Curiously, the longer the dogs’ heads were, the better their brains could distinguish speech from non-speech. (发表在《神经图像》杂志上的研究结果显示，与非语音相比，狗的大脑在主要的听觉皮层中表现出不同的语言活动模式，无论使用的语言是匈牙利语还是西班牙语，都是相似的。奇怪的是，狗的头越长，它们的大脑就越能区分言语和非言语)”可知，本研究是通过分析狗狗大脑对不同语言的反应而得出结论的。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“Instead, the team said, the differences seen between languages for speech are probably down to exposure to the familiar language and a sensitivity to language-specific regularities. (相反，研究小组说，语言之间的语音差异可能归结为熟悉的语言和对特定语言规律的敏感性)”及最后一段““This is also supported by the observation that older dogs show the stronger discrimination between the two languages,” said Andics. (Andics说：“这也得到了观察的支持，即老年狗在两种语言之间表现出更强的辨别力。”)”可知，狗能区分语言之间的不同是由于狗接触熟悉的语言以及对特定语言常规模式的敏感。这是因为年纪大的狗狗对某种语言更加熟悉敏感。由此推知，和说话者共处同一环境的时间更长让年纪大的狗狗有更强的分辨能力。故选D。 D For the perfect cup of tea, does one add milk to boiling water, or the opposite? Neither, if new research in the journal Current Biology is to be believed. What must be prepared first, instead, are the microbes (微生物) . Scientists are increasingly aware that the fungi and bacteria living around a plant's roots can significantly affect its growth by enhancing the absorption of critical nutrients like iron and nitrogen. This possibility of enhanced nitrogen absorption was particularly fascinating to tea experts Xin Wei and Tang Wenxin at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University in China because tea plants rely upon nitrogen-rich soil around their roots to produce theanine, an amino acid that generates their unique pleasant flavors. Dr. Xin and Dr. Tang found that theanine production varied widely, even among similar teas. Some highly valued oolong teas such as Rougui, produced a lot of the chemical, whereas others, such as Maoxie, produced less. This difference was particularly obvious in the autumn, when the roots were accumulating theanine. This brought about a natural question. If the microbe community found around Rougui were transplanted to other tea plants, might this increase their theanine production and, in turn, improve their flavor? To explore this, the researchers created a community of microbes made up of 21 bacterial varieties that resembled the community found around Rougui roots and applied them to the roots of Maoxie plants. They report this week that this nearly tripled the theanine accumulation in Maoxie leaves. While the time-consuming process of transforming leaves into drinkable tea has yet to be completed, the researchers have little doubt that there will be big differences. Flavors aside, the Rougui microbe sample that Dr. Xin and Dr. Tang worked with has the potential to make a wider environmental impact. Most farmers, not just tea growers, add some form of nitrogen to their soil to enhance growth. While some of this is absorbed by plants, most runs off during heavy rains and ends up polluting natural water bodies. When the researchers applied their microbial cocktail to soil around the roots of cress (水芹) plants, which is the lab rat of the botanical world, they found that, just as with Maoxie, the newcomers enhanced nitrogen uptake. This suggests that these microbes have the potential to create new flavors while also reducing agricultural pollution. That should be everyone's cup of tea. 12. Which of the following directly determines the flavor of tea? A. Microbes. B. Theanine. C. Nitrogen. D. Fungi. 13. What was the primary goal of the experiment mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To determine the effect of microbes on tea leaf color. B. To increase the caffeine content in tea leaves. C. To enhance theanine production in Maoxie tea plants. D. To identify new varieties of tea-producing bacteria. 14. What can we infer about the future of tea production with the use of microbes? A. It is very likely to lead to a significant increase in tea production costs. B. It has the potential to reduce water pollution caused by farming. C. It will replace traditional methods of growing tea entirely. D. Its benefits are limited to certain types of tea plants. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. Tea Science: Microbes Functioning B. Microbes’ Role: Enhancing Tea Production C. Discovering New Microbe Varieties in Tea Plants D. Rethinking the impact of Microbes on Environment 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了《当代生物学》的新研究指出，要泡出完美的茶，首要准备的并非水与牛奶的添加顺序，而是微生物。科学家发现植物根部周围的真菌和细菌能通过增强铁、氮等关键营养物质的吸收，显著影响植物生长。中国福建农林大学的茶专家辛伟和唐文鑫关注到，茶树依赖根部富氮土壤产生茶氨酸，以形成独特风味，但不同茶树茶氨酸产量差异大，秋季尤为明显，如肉桂乌龙产量高，毛蟹产量低。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This possibility of enhanced nitrogen absorption was particularly fascinating to tea experts Xin Wei and Tang Wenxin at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University in China because tea plants rely upon nitrogen-rich soil around their roots to produce theanine, an amino acid that generates their unique pleasant flavors. Dr. Xin and Dr. Tang found that theanine production varied widely, even among similar teas. (中国福建农林大学的茶叶专家辛伟和唐文鑫对这种增强氮吸收的可能性特别感兴趣，因为茶树依靠根部周围富含氮的土壤来产生茶氨酸，这种氨基酸能产生独特的宜人味道。辛博士和唐博士发现，即使在类似的茶中，茶氨酸的含量也存在很大差异。)”可知，茶氨酸直接决定了茶的味道。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“If the microbe community found around Rougui were transplanted to other tea plants, might this increase their theanine production and, in turn, improve their flavor? To explore this, the researchers created a community of microbes made up of 21 bacterial varieties that resembled the community found around Rougui roots and applied them to the roots of Maoxie plants. They report this week that this nearly tripled the theanine accumulation in Maoxie leaves. (如果将肉桂周围发现的微生物群落移植到其他茶树中，是否会增加它们的茶氨酸产量，进而改善它们的风味？为了探索这一点，研究人员创建了一个由21个细菌品种组成的微生物群落，这些细菌品种与肉桂根周围的细菌群落相似，并将它们应用于毛蟹植物的根部。他们本周报告说，这几乎使毛蟹叶中的茶氨酸积累增加了两倍。)”可推知，第三段提到的实验的主要目的是提高毛蟹茶树茶氨酸的产量。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While some of this is absorbed by plants, most runs off during heavy rains and ends up polluting natural water bodies. When the researchers applied their microbial cocktail to soil around the roots of cress (水芹) plants, which is the lab rat of the botanical world, they found that, just as with Maoxie, the newcomers enhanced nitrogen uptake. This suggests that these microbes have the potential to create new flavors while also reducing agricultural pollution. (虽然其中一些被植物吸收，但大部分在大雨中流失，最终污染了自然水体。当研究人员将他们的微生物混合物应用于植物界的小白鼠——袍草根部周围的土壤时，他们发现，与毛蟹叶一样，新来者提高了氮的吸收。这表明这些微生物有潜力创造新的风味，同时还能减少农业污染。)”可知，通过使用微生物，我们可以推断出茶叶生产的未来有可能减少农业造成的水污染。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“For the perfect cup of tea, does one add milk to boiling water, or the opposite? Neither, if new research in the journal Current Biology is to be believed. What must be prepared first, instead, are the microbes (微生物). ( 一杯完美的茶，是往开水里加牛奶，还是相反？如果《当代生物学》杂志上的一项新研究可信的话，这两者都不是。相反，首先必须准备的是微生物。)”可知，文章主要讲的是《当代生物学》的新研究指出，要泡出完美的茶，首要准备的并非水与牛奶的添加顺序，而是微生物。科学家发现植物根部周围的真菌和细菌能通过增强铁、氮等关键营养物质的吸收，显著影响植物生长。中国福建农林大学的茶专家辛伟和唐文鑫关注到，茶树依赖根部富氮土壤产生茶氨酸，以形成独特风味，但不同茶树茶氨酸产量差异大，秋季尤为明显，如肉桂乌龙产量高，毛蟹产量低。故这篇文章最好的标题是“茶科学：微生物的功能”。故选A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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Emojis are small symbols representing ideas, emotions, or feelings.

Inside was a 2-by-4-foot scrapbook (剪贴簿) filled with candy wrappers (包装纸) that were over 70 years old. It was sent by Jeffrey S. Green, a former president of a famous candy company. After the company closed down, the scrapbook traveled 2,950 miles to La Verne, California, to the farm my family and I call home. I’m the founder of the online website Roadside Attraction: Candy Wrapper Museum, where I share the little pieces of paper I’ve collected over the decades. Why? Because these small objects serve as a time machine, opening an emotional door to the past. I was 15 years old when I started collecting candy wrappers, inspired by friends who had cool collections like beer bottles from around the world. I wanted to start one of my own, but of what? I usually spent my few coins on candy at the 7-Eleven. The candy shelves were a wonderland of tasty treats with colorful wrappers in different themes, all shouting, “Pick me!” Then inspiration struck me. Instead of throwing away those wrappers, I would save them. I would create the Candy Wrapper Museum and I hoped that the wrappers would one day be enjoyed as art. It was 1977, and I had a plan: I would collect these wrappers throughout my lifetime, and then open-up the museum as a roadside attraction in my old age. I chose my first pieces: Nice Mice and Cinnamon Teddy Bears, and so began this journey. My family members were the first to leave the candy wrappers to me. Then the relatives. My friends caught the spirit of fun and donated pieces. Collecting became an affordable and novel way to explore the world around me, one that could even turn a boring shopping trip into a treasure hunt. In 2019, inspiration struck me again. Why wait until retirement? Why not open the museum right now on the Internet, the ultimate “superhighway”? 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式作答。 P1：Building the online museum was a huge six-month project. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ P2：When the museum was launched, I doubted whether anyone would be interested. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Building the online museum was a huge six-month project. First, I selected roughly 650 of my favorite wrappers and sorted them into several themes such as Celebrities, Tourist Attractions, Holidays, Animals and Buildings. I photographed them and wrote lighthearted comments to provide each visitor with my personal tour. Then, I bought a book on how to build a website and with the help of my family and friends, finally, I built the site, setting up the Candy Wrapper Museum. When the museum was launched, I doubted whether anyone would be interested. To my surprise, without any promotion, the site went viral. Many people, especially those of my age, commented on my website, saying these candy wrappers reminded them of the happy times in their childhood. The sudden burst of popularity even attracted the attention of Jeffrey S. Green, who was looking for a “forever home” for the wrappers after his company closed down. I was glad I helped people uncover connections to valuable memories from their past. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者创建糖果包装纸博物馆的经历为线索展开，主要讲述了作者从15岁开始收集糖果包装纸，后来将其从计划中的退休后路边博物馆变为线上博物馆，并意外获得关注，还收到了杰弗里・S・格林寄来的古老包装纸的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“建立在线博物馆是一个为期六个月的庞大项目。”可知，第一段可描写作者为建立在线博物馆所做的准备工作，包括选择、分类、拍照、撰写评论以及建立网站等。 ②由第二段首句内容“当博物馆开放时，我怀疑是否会有人感兴趣。”可知，第二段可描写博物馆开放后的情况，包括受到的欢迎、人们的反馈以及由此带来的意外收获，如吸引了Jeffrey S.

B The Greek philosopher Aristotle once said, “For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them. ” This method of “learning by doing” has allowed Barefoot College to successfully train and educate millions of underprivileged people. As the founder of the college, Sanjit “Bunker” Roy did some volunteer work in a poor region of India shortly after his graduation from Deli University. The experience changed his life, and in 1972 he set up the college with the aim to help rural communities overcome their difficulties and become more independent. Barefoot College is unlike any other college. All of its students around the world are from poor rural communities. They don't have to be able to read or write—indeed, many can't. People of any age can attend —the school has a wide range of students, from children to grandmothers. The college is owned and managed by everyone who works and learns here. These “Barefoot Professionals” are trained to perform all sorts of duties in the school, from providing dental care services to cooking meals for staff and students. No degrees or certificates are given out. But graduates return to their villages with their new skills and work to make their communities self-sufficient by training other villagers. Being able to use their skills to serve their communities is proof of success. The solar engineering program at Barefoot College has a significant role. Every year, the college recruits middle-aged women from rural villages that don't have electricity. For six months, the women learn how to build, install, use, and maintain solar lamps. The lack of a common language isn't a problem; they communicate through sign language and work with color-coded equipment. Through hands-on training, the women transform into solar engineers by the end of the program. The self-confidence they gain allows them to go on and inspire positive change in their villages. Since 2008, the women have managed to provide electricity to over 1, 000 villages, bringing light to more than 40, 000 households. Barefoot College has demonstrated how education can empower rural people and help them live better lives. After its success in India, Barefoot College decided to expand its programs overseas. Today, it has a number of regional training centers in countries such as Ethiopia, Afghanistan, and Senegal.

Researchers, who arranged for headphone-wearing dogs to listen to excerpts (节录) from the novel The Little Prince, revealed their brains can tell the differences between speech and non-speech when listening to human voices, and show different responses to speech in an unfamiliar language. The research involved 18 dogs of various ages and breeds (品种) that were trained to lie in an MRI scanner with headphones on. They were then played recordings either of humans reading excerpts from The Little Prince or those same recordings cut up into small pieces and put back together in a different order so it sounded unnatural. The results, published in the journal Neuro Image, revealed the dogs’ brains showed a different activity pattern in the primary auditory cortex (听觉皮层) for speech compared with non-speech, with the findings similar regardless of whether the language used—Hungarian or Spanish—was familiar. Curiously, the longer the dogs’ heads were, the better their brains could distinguish speech from non-speech. The team also found the activity pattern was stronger for non-speech. In humans, we typically see stronger response to speech. The research also revealed familiar and unfamiliar languages gave rise to different responses in the secondary auditory cortex—but only for speech. That was important, said Andics, senior author of the study at Loránd University in Hungary, as it suggested the ability to distinguish between languages was not simply down to the speakers being different. Instead, the team said, the differences seen between languages for speech are probably down to exposure to the familiar language and a sensitivity to language-specific regularities. “This is also supported by the observation that older dogs show the stronger discrimination between the two languages,” said Andics. 8. What’s the function of Paragraph 1? A. To make a comparison. B. To introduce the subject. C. To provide the background. D. To propose a definition. 9. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A.

Why could older dogs have stronger discrimination? A. They have met more different speakers. B. They have been exposed to stricter training. C. They possess a better sense of commitment. D They share the speakers’ environment longer. D For the perfect cup of tea, does one add milk to boiling water, or the opposite? Neither, if new research in the journal Current Biology is to be believed. What must be prepared first, instead, are the microbes (微生物) . Scientists are increasingly aware that the fungi and bacteria living around a plant's roots can significantly affect its growth by enhancing the absorption of critical nutrients like iron and nitrogen. This possibility of enhanced nitrogen absorption was particularly fascinating to tea experts Xin Wei and Tang Wenxin at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University in China because tea plants rely upon nitrogen-rich soil around their roots to produce theanine, an amino acid that generates their unique pleasant flavors. Dr. Xin and Dr. Tang found that theanine production varied widely, even among similar teas. Some highly valued oolong teas such as Rougui, produced a lot of the chemical, whereas others, such as Maoxie, produced less. This difference was particularly obvious in the autumn, when the roots were accumulating theanine. This brought about a natural question. If the microbe community found around Rougui were transplanted to other tea plants, might this increase their theanine production and, in turn, improve their flavor? To explore this, the researchers created a community of microbes made up of 21 bacterial varieties that resembled the community found around Rougui roots and applied them to the roots of Maoxie plants. They report this week that this nearly tripled the theanine accumulation in Maoxie leaves. While the time-consuming process of transforming leaves into drinkable tea has yet to be completed, the researchers have little doubt that there will be big differences. Flavors aside, the Rougui microbe sample that Dr. Xin and Dr. Tang worked with has the potential to make a wider environmental impact. Most farmers, not just tea growers, add some form of nitrogen to their soil to enhance growth. While some of this is absorbed by plants, most runs off during heavy rains and ends up polluting natural water bodies. When the researchers applied their microbial cocktail to soil around the roots of cress (水芹) plants, which is the lab rat of the botanical world, they found that, just as with Maoxie, the newcomers enhanced nitrogen uptake. This suggests that these microbes have the potential to create new flavors while also reducing agricultural pollution. That should be everyone's cup of tea. 12. Which of the following directly determines the flavor of tea? A. Microbes. B. Theanine. C. Nitrogen. D. Fungi. 13. What was the primary goal of the experiment mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To determine the effect of microbes on tea leaf color. B. To increase the caffeine content in tea leaves. C. To enhance theanine production in Maoxie tea plants. D. To identify new varieties of tea-producing bacteria. 14. What can we infer about the future of tea production with the use of microbes? A. It is very likely to lead to a significant increase in tea production costs. B. It has the potential to reduce water pollution caused by farming. C. It will replace traditional methods of growing tea entirely. D. Its benefits are limited to certain types of tea plants. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. Tea Science: Microbes Functioning B. Microbes’ Role: Enhancing Tea Production C. Discovering New Microbe Varieties in Tea Plants D.

Inside was a 2-by-4-foot scrapbook (剪贴簿) filled with candy wrappers (包装纸) that were over 70 years old. It was sent by Jeffrey S. Green, a former president of a famous candy company. After the company closed down, the scrapbook traveled 2,950 miles to La Verne, California, to the farm my family and I call home. I’m the founder of the online website Roadside Attraction: Candy Wrapper Museum, where I share the little pieces of paper I’ve collected over the decades. Why? Because these small objects serve as a time machine, opening an emotional door to the past. I was 15 years old when I started collecting candy wrappers, inspired by friends who had cool collections like beer bottles from around the world. I wanted to start one of my own, but of what? I usually spent my few coins on candy at the 7-Eleven. The candy shelves were a wonderland of tasty treats with colorful wrappers in different themes, all shouting, “Pick me!” Then inspiration struck me. Instead of throwing away those wrappers, I would save them. I would create the Candy Wrapper Museum and I hoped that the wrappers would one day be enjoyed as art. It was 1977, and I had a plan: I would collect these wrappers throughout my lifetime, and then open-up the museum as a roadside attraction in my old age. I chose my first pieces: Nice Mice and Cinnamon Teddy Bears, and so began this journey. My family members were the first to leave the candy wrappers to me. Then the relatives. My friends caught the spirit of fun and donated pieces. Collecting became an affordable and novel way to explore the world around me, one that could even turn a boring shopping trip into a treasure hunt. In 2019, inspiration struck me again. Why wait until retirement? Why not open the museum right now on the Internet, the ultimate “superhighway”? 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式作答。 P1：Building the online museum was a huge six-month project. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ P2：When the museum was launched, I doubted whether anyone would be interested. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
