C Data abtained from China's Zhurong rover(深刹器》indicale thal the ocean-known as Deutemnilus-would have existed moughly 3.5 to 4 hillion years agn,a time when Mars had a thicker atmosphere und wurmer climute.Accurding to scientists,bidden updemeath the red plunet is evidence that there were once sandy beaches and a sizeable ocean on it. The rover,which operated from May 202I to May 2022,travelled about 1.9 km on the planet. and detected materiala with properties similar to sand around 10 m-35 m below the surface.The sand-like material all slpesd()in the saupe direction and at an angle,siilar to leaches on Fnrth,and spanned ahant 1.5 km,rexenre:hrrs snid.These Earth-like features led resrarchers to investigate whether they were truly formed by ancient wares. The study,published in the joumal P'roccedings of the Vational Academy of Scicnces on Monday,said thesc beaches would have been the resull of long-tcm impacts of waves and tides. similar to how such forces shaped Earth's landscapes.The discovery could be crucial in finding out if Mars's surlace supported living organisms."Shurelines an great locstions lo look for evidence of past life,"co-author of the study,Michael Manga of the Universily of California,Rerkeley,said. "It's thought that the carlicst life on Earth hegan nt locations like this,ncar the interface of air and shallow watcr. To eonfirm this hypothesis,the teum systematically ruled out altemalive explanatios.Accorling to Benjamin Canlenas,fellow en-author and Penn Slate geoscienlist,researchers were ahle to rule oul that the structures detectod by the rover were ancient rivers or sand dunes()."Beaches simply fit the obeervations best."he said."Duncs tend to come in goups.and thesc groups producc characteristic patterns not present in these depoeits()...We also considered ancient rivers, but we rejected that theory for similar reasons based on the pattems we saw in the depoeits. 英活试题第4页（共8页） 28.What did the Zhurong rover's data reveal about Mars? A.Its surface was once covered with sand. B.It witnessed ups and downs in life forms. C.It had a large occan billions of years ago. D.Its atmosphere experienced significant changes. 29.What can be inferred about Martian beaches? A.They sloped at varied angles. B.They were found on the surface of Mars. C.They must have held rich organisms at a certain period. D.They might have experienced similar processes to those on Earth. 30.What does the underlined word "hypothesis"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Discovery.B.Assumption. C.Approach. D.Principle. 31.What's the rescarchers'altitude towards the "ancicnt rivers"cxplanation? A.Negative. B.Supportive. C.Tolerant. D.Mixed. D Have emojis worsened or improved language?Or are they useful?Accurding to Evans.an expert on digital communication."In the spoken medium,body language,such as gestures and facial expressions,provides a means of qualifying and adjusting the message delivered by the words we speak."That's to say,a silly smile,rolled eyes,or folded arms can enrich what is said,and supply more information for interpretation. According to an cstimate,30%一35%of derived(衍生的)meanings fcom daily social interactions come from language,while nearly 70%come from nonverbal signals,especially visual ones. Coincidentally.in another study.it was found that 70%of emoji usage directly relates to emotional expressions. Emojis provide missing details for digital communication where chatting has character limits, and facial expressions and body movements are often hidden behind screens.The digital text alone is on occasion emotionally dull.And considering its similarity to punctuation(),the emoji is definitely the world's first truly universal form of communication today. While emojis are mainly used to add personal touches in dull,digital chats,they still have problems.Growing slowly,emojis are a set number of characters.In a new study by Adobe,which surveyed thousands of emoji users around the world,only 20%feel their identities are completely reflected in current cmoji options,and the majority aren't pleased with them,declaring that cmojis should continue to fight for more inclusive representation of users. This thought is unsurprisingly driven by the younger generation,who rely upon emojis to express what's in their mind.If emojis are used to share our nonverbal emotions,then they should represent the "speaker",reflecting who is communicating.Customization is one solution-an approach we have already seen progress.In 2015,the Unicode Consortium showed skin-tone modlifiers()However,very quickly,those options were determined to be still too limited. Hairstyles and hair color modifiers were introduced in 2019.There's room to grow there too. 32.What role do nonverbal signals play in face-to-face communication? A.They are primarily used to avoid being impolite. B.They contribute more to understanding than spoken words C.They account for less than half of the meanings expressed. D.They are less important than in digital communication. 33.Why are most users dissatisfied with the present emojis? A.They are mechanical. B.They are too complex. C.They lack inclusiveness. D.They reveal identities. 英语试题第5页（共8页） 34.How can the problems with emojis be addressed? A.By tailoring the designs B.By clarifying new meanings. C.By restricting the usage. D.By counting on young users. 35.Which can be the mosl suitable title for the text? A.Emojis:The Perfect Solution to Emotional Expression B.The Way Younger Generations Redefine Digital Interaction C.Emojis:The Witness to the Rise and Fall of Traditional Language D.The Impact and Development of Emojis in Moder Communication 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选顶，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Imagine your body as a complex machine tuned to a specific rhythm()This rhythm is known as your biological clock.36 Understanding your biological clock,along with the principles of Chinese biological clocks,can efficiently change how you organize your day,helping you become more productive and energetic. Research shows that people fall into different categories based on their biological clocks.For instance,"carly birds"prefer waking up carly and peak in activity during the morning.37 In contrast,"night owls"are more active in the evening and nighttime;their productivity kicks in after lunch and extends into the late hours. 38 In traditional Chinese medicine,there's the concept of Chinese biological clocks. which assigns spccific bodily functions to cach hour.For cxample.the liver meridian()is active from I am to 3 am,making this time crucial for deep sleep and recovery;the stomach mcridian is active from 9 am to 11 am,making this the best time for a hcarty breakfast and kicking off important tasks. Recognizing your biological clock can help you identify the ideal windows for physical aclivity. meals,and mental work.39 For instance,if you're a "night owl",try scheduling important tasks for the aftemoon,when your brain is most active.Conversely,if you're an "early bird", plan key mectings and intensc workouts in the morning. Ultimately,understanding and applying this knowledge can not only boost your productivity but also improve your overall well-being,helping you adjust your intemal clock to extemal demands.40 A.They can be highly productive from 6 am to noon. B.They always know what to prioritize in their schedule. C.Ilowever,the biological clock is just onc part of the problem. D.It determines the time of day you feel most focused and productive. E.Then,your day will become more structured and your life more balanced F.Life and work demands might not always perfectly fit your body's natural rhythm. G.Experiment with different mutines to discover what matches your natural rhythms best. 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5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个迭项中，选出可以筑人空白处的最 佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I met Tom in a joh training program for potential dropouts.41.I was somewhat careful around him for his tough appcarancc.He joined,bul his 42 in group activities len him doing nothing all day.To keep him 43,I suggested he type his stories in any way he liked,hoping it would keep him busy.
