A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了爱尔兰作家中心2024年的小说书展活动，包括活动目的、奖品、参与方式等信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Described by The Irish Times as “A Dragons’ Cave for writers”, each year the Fair aims to introduce up-and-coming writers to top publishers and literary agents. (被《爱尔兰时报》描述为“作家的龙洞”，每年的书展旨在向顶级出版商和文学代理商介绍崭露头角的作家)”可知，书展的目的在于为作家提供平台，让他们被出版商和文学代理商认识。故选C项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据The Prize中“To get fully prepared for the meeting with publishers and agents, the winners will receive a place in a workshop on “How to Promote Your Novel”, two weeks in advance. (为了充分准备与出版商和代理商的会面，获奖者将提前两周获得参加“如何推广你的小说”研讨会的机会)”可知，研讨会将会教获奖者推广他们的小说。由此推知，这会帮助他们把小说精彩地呈现出来。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据How to Enter中“Applicants are required to send a summary within 300 words and up to five chapters of their novel (申请人必须提交一篇300字以内的摘要，以及小说五个章节以内的内容)”可知，一篇200字的摘要符合书展的要求。故选A项。 B UPS driver RYAN ARENS was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman, Montana, when he heard an unearthly sound. “Like a cry for help,” he told thedodo.com, a website for animal lovers. It was December 2018, and about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that cry — a half-submerged brown-and-white wirehaired hound, struggling to cling to a thin layer of ice. How she got there no one knows, but an elderly man was already on the scene, determined to save her. He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was hacking away at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog. It was slow going, and Arens, 44, thought he stood a better chance. “Animals are my weakness,” he told the Great Falls Tribune, explaining why he stripped down to his boxers and socks, even though the temperature was in the 30s, and commandeered the rowboat. His heart thumping, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man’s rock to smash away at the ice. He gave one strong heave too many and slipped off the boat, crashing into 16 feet of freezing water. He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under. Using nervous energy to keep warm, he swam about five feet toward her, grabbed hold of her collar, and pulled her to the ice. He then boosted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner, a retired veterinarian. Once in the house himself, Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both defrosted. A few more minutes in the pond, the vet told Arens, and she would have likely suffered cardiac arrest. The next day, Arens was back working the same neighborhood when the dog’s owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie. “Would you like to meet her?” he asked. He opened the door to his pickup, and Sadie bolted out. She made a beeline for Arens, leaping on him and bathing him in wet kisses. That special delivery, says Arens, “was the highlight of my UPS career.” 4. How did the elderly man try to save the dog at first? A. He swam to the dog directly. B. He called Ryan Arens for help. C. He used a stick to reach the dog. D. He hacked at the ice with a rock. 5. What does the underlined word “commandeered” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. borrowed B. took control of C. repaired D. sold 6. What can we infer from the passage? A. The dog’s owner lived far away from the pond. B. Ryan Arens often saved animals in his daily life. C. Sadie recognized and was grateful to Ryan Arens. D. The temperature in Bozeman, Montana was very high then. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. A retired veterinarian helped take care of a rescued dog. B. A dog owner thanked a UPS driver for returning his lost dog. C. An elderly man tried to save a dog in a frozen pond but failed. D. A UPS driver risked his life to save a drowning dog in a frozen pond. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章详细描述了UPS司机Ryan Arens在听到狗的求救声后，不顾寒冷，跳入冰冷的水中，历经困难最终成功救起半淹没在冰水中的狗。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was hacking away at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog.(他乘划艇进入池塘，用一块石头凿开冰面，为狗开辟一条路)”可知，老人是划着一艘小船进入池塘，并用一块石头凿冰，试图开辟一条通向狗的路。A选项“他直接游向狗”，文章未提及；B选项“他打电话给Ryan Arens求助”，原文是Arens看到老人在施救，不是老人打电话求助；C选项“他用一根棍子去够狗”，文章也未提及；所以D选项“He hacked at the ice with a rock.(他用一块石头凿冰)”正确。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“‘Animals are my weakness,’ he told the Great Falls Tribune, explaining why he stripped down to his boxers and socks, even though the temperature was in the 30s(‘动物是我的软肋，’他告诉Great Falls Tribune，并解释了为什么即使气温只有30多华氏度，他也要脱得只剩四角裤和袜子)”以及后文的“the rowboat”可知，Arens因为动物是他的软肋，尽管温度很低，他还是只穿着短裤和袜子，然后对小船做了某个动作去救狗。结合语境，他应该是“控制、掌管”了小船去救狗。A选项“borrowed(借)”，文章未体现借的意思；C选项“repaired(修理)”，文中没说修理船；D选项“sold(卖)”，更不符合语境，所以B选项“took control of(控制、掌管)”正确。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题 。根据最后一段“He opened the door to his pickup, and Sadie bolted out. She made a beeline for Arens, leaping on him and bathing him in wet kisses.(他打开皮卡的门，Sadie冲了出去。她径直向Arens走去，跳到他身上，用湿吻给他洗澡。Arens说，那次特殊递送“是我UPS事业中的亮点”。)”可以看出狗直接冲向Arens并亲吻他，能推断出狗认出并感激他。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章详细描述了UPS司机Ryan Arens在听到狗的求救声后，不顾寒冷，跳入冰冷的水中，历经困难最终成功救起半淹没在冰水中的狗，选项D“一名UPS司机冒着生命危险去救一只在冰冻池塘里快要淹死的狗”准确概括了文章的主要内容。选项A：退休兽医只是在狗被救上岸后帮忙照顾，这不是文章的核心内容，文章重点在于救狗的过程，所以A选项错误。选项B：狗主人感谢司机救狗只是故事后续的一个情节，不是文章主旨，文章主要围绕救狗事件展开，所以B选项错误。选项C：文章中提到老人尝试救狗，但进展缓慢，并非失败，且重点是UPS司机Ryan Arens成功救狗，所以C选项错误。故选D。 C When planning my wedding, I was determined not to get caught up in the “perfect day”, but to have a relaxed, informal celebration. My husband and I ended up having a lovely time. “Pursuit of perfection is a prison,” says Moya Sarner, an NHS psychotherapist. Many of us are driven by the unconscious (下意识的) wish that if we could just have the perfect body, the perfect job and the perfect family, then we would be happy. For that reason, it can be one of the most significant barriers to happiness in life. The psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott wrote about the importance of the “good enough mother” who meets her baby’s needs timely, but is not perfect. He said perfect is harmful. To meet every desire immediately, to pass the toy straight away whenever it is demanded slows down a baby’s growth, robbing them of the opportunity to feel frustrated (沮丧的) and learn to crawl to get the toy for themselves. Winnicott believed that while perfection is not a virtue, tolerance of imperfection is. If we cannot develop the capacity to tolerate imperfection in ourselves and in those around us, we can have no self-confidence, no sustainable relationships and no fulfilling career. If we’re always trying to build something called a perfect life, we aren’t really living the one we’re in. How do I know all this? I am a perfectionist in recovery. I’ve started to recognize my intolerance of imperfection — my need for certain things to be exactly as I would like them to be, from the way my husband chops his onions to my terror of being late — and it has made a huge difference to my relationship and my parenting. How can you be a good partner if you expect everyone else to fit your own narrow expectations? How can your child grow if they sense that they always need to color precisely inside the lines you’ve drawn out for them? We need to go further than tolerating imperfections. We need to learn to appreciate their humanity and beauty. Imperfections are why people will pay a calligrapher to handwrite invitations when a computer can produce a flawless (完美的) version of the same script for less money and in less time. So for a more delicious life, and ultimately a better one, I choose imperfectionism. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By presenting a successful ceremony. B. By showing her firm determination. C. By describing her personal experience. D. By introducing her perfect marriage. 9. What can we learn from the example of the “good enough mother”? A. Raising a child brings a mother much joy. B. Pursuing perfection is the duty of mothers. C. Meeting babies’ demands is very challenging. D. Responding instantly impacts babies’ growth. 10. What is the function of the two questions at the end of Paragraph 5? A. To shift topics. B. To make assumptions. C. To arouse interest. D. To encourage thinking. 11. Which of the following might the author approve of? A. A miss is as good as a mile. B. Haste makes waste. C. Close enough is good enough. D. Practice makes perfect. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了追求完美可能成为生活中幸福的重大阻碍，强调接受不完美的重要性，鼓励人们学会欣赏不完美之处，拥抱一种不完美主义的生活态度。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When planning my wedding, I was determined not to get caught up in the “perfect day”, but to have a relaxed, informal celebration. My husband and I ended up having a lovely time.(在计划我的婚礼时，我决定不要陷入“完美的一天”，而是要有一个轻松，非正式的庆祝活动。我丈夫和我度过了一段美好的时光。)”可知，作者通过讲述自己筹备婚礼时摒弃追求完美、选择轻松庆祝的个人经历来引出文章关于追求完美的话题，所以作者是通过描述个人经历来引入话题的。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“He said perfect is harmful. To meet every desire immediately, to pass the toy straight away whenever it is demanded slows down a baby’s growth, robbing them of the opportunity to feel frustrated (沮丧的) and learn to crawl to get the toy for themselves.(他说完美是有害的。立刻满足每一个需求，在孩子一要玩具的时候就马上把玩具递过去，这会减缓婴儿的成长，剥夺了他们感到沮丧以及学会自己爬过去拿玩具的机会)”可知，从“足够好的母亲”的例子中可以推断出，母亲立刻回应婴儿的需求（即追求完美回应）会影响婴儿的成长，让他们失去自我探索和成长的机会。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。文章第五段结尾的两个问题“How can you be a good partner if you expect everyone else to fit your own narrow expectations? How can your child grow if they sense that they always need to color precisely inside the lines you’ve drawn out for them?(如果你期望每个人都能满足你狭隘的期望，你怎么能成为一个好的伴侣呢？如果你的孩子觉得他们总是需要在你为他们画的线条内精确地涂上颜色，他们怎么能成长呢？)”是在前面讲述了自己作为完美主义者认识到自己对不完美的不容忍以及这种态度对人际关系和育儿的影响之后提出的。这两个问题是为了让读者思考，如果总是期望别人符合自己狭隘的期望，就无法成为好伴侣，孩子也无法真正成长，鼓励读者进行思考。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We need to go further than tolerating imperfections. We need to learn to appreciate their humanity and beauty. Imperfections are why people will pay a calligrapher to handwrite invitations when a computer can produce a flawless (完美的) version of the same script for less money and in less time. So for a more delicious life, and ultimately a better one, I choose imperfectionism.(我们需要做的不仅仅是容忍不完美。我们需要学会欣赏他们的人性和美。不完美是人们愿意花钱请书法家手写邀请函的原因，而电脑可以用更少的钱和更短的时间制作出同样的脚本的完美版本。因此，为了更美好的生活，最终更好的生活，我选择了不完美主义)”可推知，作者会同意的是“差不多就行（了）”，认为达到一定程度、接近预期标准就可以接受，不完美也行。故选C。 D Environmental DNA (eDNA) has become a crucial tool in ecological research over recent years. By analyzing water, soil, or other environmental materials for DNA pieces, researchers can tell that thousands of different species have been in an area without having to observe the actual species passing through. To date, this eDNA process has mostly been employed to detect marine (海洋的) creatures, insects, and other wildlife. However, according to a paper published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, this technique could just as easily be applied to spot humans. An international team of researchers based at the University of Florida, USA, demonstrated that human genomic (基因组的) information can be easily detected in eDNA samples collected from water, sand, and even the air. While this capability could have practical applications, such as aiding in the search for missing persons or monitoring public health, the researchers highlight significant moral concerns. These concerns include the lack of agreement from individuals for their DNA to be collected, potential breaches (侵犯) of privacy, and the risk of genetic information being used for commercial purposes. This issue is particularly challenging for the field of eDNA, which relies on open and easily accessible data. “It is standard practice in science to make these data publicly available. However, this also means that if human information is not screened out, anyone could access this information,” says senior author Professor David Duffy, a wildlife disease genomics researcher at the University of Florida. “This raises issues around permission. Do we need to ask permission to collect these samples? Should we bring in some controls to remove human genetic data?” “Whenever we make a technological advancement, there are both beneficial and concerning potential uses. This situation is no different,” Duffy explains. “We are raising these issues early so that policymakers and society have adequate time to develop suitable guidelines.” 12. What is the primary use of eDNA in ecological research? A. Identifying species present in an area. B. Monitoring species evolution processes. C. Improving living conditions for wildlife. D. Sampling insects directly in their habitats. 13. Why is the accessibility of eDNA data a potential problem? A. It ignores practical applications of eDNA data. B. It may lead to unchecked genetic engineering. C. It could result in misuse of human genetic data. D. It raises concerns about wildlife disease research. 14. What does Duffy suggest people concerned do? A. To develop potential applications. B. To sample genetic information. C. To highlight advanced technology. D. To establish appropriate regulations. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. eDNA: A New Frontier in Ecological Monitoring B. eDNA: Human Detection Meets Privacy Challenges C. eDNA: A Breakthrough in Marine Research Techniques D. eDNA: Transforming Our Comprehension of Biodiversity 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了环境DNA(eDNA)在生态研究中应用，特别是其在检测人类方面的潜力，同时提出了相关的道德和隐私问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Environmental DNA (eDNA) has become a crucial tool in ecological research over recent years. By analyzing water, soil, or other environmental materials for DNA pieces, researchers can tell that thousands of different species have been in an area without having to observe the actual species passing through. (近年来，环境DNA (eDNA) 已成为生态学研究的重要工具。通过分析水、土壤或其他环境材料的DNA片段，研究人员无需观察实际经过的物种，就能判断出某个地区曾经有数千种不同的物种)”可知，eDNA在生态研究中的主要用途是识别某一地区存在的物种。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“These concerns include the lack of agreement from individuals for their DNA to be collected, potential breaches (侵犯) of privacy, and the risk of genetic information being used for commercial purposes.(这些担忧包括没有得到个人对其DNA收集的同意，隐私可能遭到侵犯，以及遗传信息被用于商业目的的风险)”和第四段中“However, this also means that if human information is not screened out, anyone could access this information, (然而，这也意味着，如果人类信息没有被筛选出来，任何人都可以访问这些信息)”以及“This raises issues around permission. Do we need to ask permission to collect these samples? Should we bring in some controls to remove human genetic data? (这引发了关于许可的问题。我们是否需要征得许可才能收集这些样本?我们是否应该引入一些控制措施来删除人类遗传数据?)”可知，eDNA数据的可访问性是一个潜在问题，因为它可能导致人类遗传数据的滥用。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Duffy的话“We are raising these issues early so that policymakers and society have adequate time to develop suitable guidelines. (我们提前提出这些问题，以便政策制定者和社会有足够的时间来制定合适的指南)”可知，Duffy建议相关人士制定适当的法规。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“However, according to a paper published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, this technique could just as easily be applied to spot humans. (然而，根据发表在《自然·生态与进化》杂志上的一篇论文，这项技术同样可以很容易地应用于检测人类)”和第三段中“These concerns include the lack of agreement from individuals for their DNA to be collected, potential breaches (侵犯) of privacy, and the risk of genetic information being used for commercial purposes.(这些担忧包括没有得到个人对其DNA收集的同意，隐私可能遭到侵犯，以及遗传信息被用于商业目的的风险)”可知，文章主要介绍了eDNA在检测人类方面的应用及其引发的隐私和道德问题，故B项“eDNA: Human Detection Meets Privacy Challenges(eDNA：人类检测遭遇隐私挑战)”最能概括文章内容，适合做文章标题。故选B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。 Understanding Your Feelings Helps You Name And Tame (驯服) Them We all experience various feelings all the time.

Then Mom said that Kapil, a high-school student from India, would be staying in their house and living in Lil’s room, for they were the host family. The piece of news made Devon’s stomach feel worse, as he missed his sister so much. “What if I can’t understand him?” Devon asked. “He speaks English well,” Mom said. On Kapil’s first day, he exchanged some small talk with Devon before disappearing into his new room. Lil’s room, Devon reminded himself. As days went on, Kapil started spending more time in the rest of the house. He was in the kitchen a lot, whose cooking always filled the air with steam and spice that made Devon’s eyes water. “Smells wonderful!” Mom exclaimed. When Lil called a few days later, Devon told her about Kapil’s cooking. “Lucky! I love Indian food!” Lil said. “But it seems too spicy forme,” replied Devon. One day, Mom had to work late. “Kapil will stay with you until I get home,” she explained. Devon’s stomach twisted. Lil had always stayed with him when Mom had to work late. When Devon got home from school, Kapil greeted him at the door. “Would you like a snack?” Kapil asked. Devon shrugged. Lil and he used to cook together after school, which they called “making messes.” Kapil opened the refrigerator. “How about a yogurt?” “I had one at breakfast,” responded Devon in a cold voice. Kapil opened a cupboard and smiled. “Wait here.” He returned with a package. “I’ll cook an Indian snack,” he announced. Kapil pulled out around, thin cracker the size of a small Frisbee, poured oil into a pan and fried the cracker. Then the kitchen was filled with spicy smells. After a while, Kapil handed Devon a plate with the sizzling pancake on it. “Papadum (印度薄饼),” he said. “Made from bean flour.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Devon’s stomach twisted again. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking at the empty plate, Devon said to Kapil, “Let’s make messes!” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Devon’s stomach twisted again. He stared at the papadum, not sure if he could handle the spiciness. But Kapil’s expectant look made him take a small bite. To his surprise, the flavors burst in his mouth in a pleasant way. It was spicy but also had a unique taste that he never experienced before. Devon took another bite and then another. Before he knew it, he had finished the whole papadum. Looking at the empty plate, Devon said to Kapil, “Let’s make messes!” Kapil’s face instantly lit up with a wide, beaming smile that reached his eyes. Their laughter filled the kitchen as they embarked on a culinary adventure together. They spent the remainder of the evening in a flurry of activity, sharing stories and tips, and creating a medley of new and exciting snacks.

B UPS driver RYAN ARENS was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman, Montana, when he heard an unearthly sound. “Like a cry for help,” he told thedodo.com, a website for animal lovers. It was December 2018, and about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that cry — a half-submerged brown-and-white wirehaired hound, struggling to cling to a thin layer of ice. How she got there no one knows, but an elderly man was already on the scene, determined to save her. He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was hacking away at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog. It was slow going, and Arens, 44, thought he stood a better chance. “Animals are my weakness” he told the Great Falls Tribune, explaining why he stripped down to his boxers and socks, even though the temperature was in the 30s, and commandeered the rowboat. His heart thumping, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man’s rock to smash away at the ice. He gave one strong heave too many and slipped off the boat, crashing into 16 feet of freezing water. He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under. Using nervous energy to keep warm, he swam about five feet toward her, grabbed hold of her collar, and pulled her to the ice. He then boosted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner, a retired veterinarian. Once in the house himself, Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both defrosted. A few more minutes in the pond, the vet told Arens, and she would have likely suffered cardiac arrest. The next day, Arens was back working the same neighborhood when the dog’s owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie. “Would you like to meet her?” he asked. He opened the door to his pickup, and Sadie bolted out. She made a beeline for Arens, leaping on him and bathing him in wet kisses. That special delivery, says Arens, “was the highlight of my UPS career.” 4. How did the elderly man try to save the dog at first? A. He swam to the dog directly. B He called Ryan Arens for help. C. He used a stick to reach the dog. D. He hacked at the ice with a rock. 5. What does the underlined word “commandeered” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. borrowed B. took control of C. repaired D. sold 6. What can we infer from the passage? A. The dog’s owner lived far away from the pond. B. Ryan Arens often saved animals in his daily life. C. Sadie recognized and was grateful to Ryan Arens. D. The temperature in Bozeman, Montana was very high then. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. A retired veterinarian helped take care of a rescued dog. B. A dog owner thanked a UPS driver for returning his lost dog. C. An elderly man tried to save a dog in a frozen pond but failed. D. A UPS driver risked his life to save a drowning dog in a frozen pond. C When planning my wedding, I was determined not to get caught up in the “perfect day”, but to have a relaxed, informal celebration. My husband and I ended up having a lovely time. “Pursuit of perfection is a prison,” says Moya Sarner, an NHS psychotherapist. Many of us are driven by the unconscious (下意识的) wish that if we could just have the perfect body, the perfect job and the perfect family, then we would be happy. For that reason, it can be one of the most significant barriers to happiness in life. The psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott wrote about the importance of the “good enough mother” who meets her baby’s needs timely, but is not perfect. He said perfect is harmful. To meet every desire immediately, to pass the toy straight away whenever it is demanded slows down a baby’s growth, robbing them of the opportunity to feel frustrated (沮丧的) and learn to crawl to get the toy for themselves. Winnicott believed that while perfection is not a virtue, tolerance of imperfection is. If we cannot develop the capacity to tolerate imperfection in ourselves and in those around us, we can have no self-confidence, no sustainable relationships and no fulfilling career. If we’re always trying to build something called a perfect life, we aren’t really living the one we’re in. How do I know all this? I am a perfectionist in recovery. I’ve started to recognize my intolerance of imperfection — my need for certain things to be exactly as I would like them to be, from the way my husband chops his onions to my terror of being late — and it has made a huge difference to my relationship and my parenting. How can you be a good partner if you expect everyone else to fit your own narrow expectations? How can your child grow if they sense that they always need to color precisely inside the lines you’ve drawn out for them? We need to go further than tolerating imperfections. We need to learn to appreciate their humanity and beauty. Imperfections are why people will pay a calligrapher to handwrite invitations when a computer can produce a flawless (完美的) version of the same script for less money and in less time. So for a more delicious life, and ultimately a better one, I choose imperfectionism. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By presenting a successful ceremony. B. By showing her firm determination. C. By describing her personal experience. D. By introducing her perfect marriage. 9. What can we learn from the example of the “good enough mother”? A. Raising a child brings a mother much joy. B. Pursuing perfection is the duty of mothers. C. Meeting babies’ demands is very challenging. D. Responding instantly impacts babies’ growth. 10. What is the function of the two questions at the end of Paragraph 5? A. To shift topics. B. To make assumptions. C. To arouse interest. D. To encourage thinking. 11. Which of the following might the author approve of? A. A miss is as good as a mile. B. Haste makes waste. C. Close enough is good enough. D. Practice makes perfect. D Environmental DNA (eDNA) has become a crucial tool in ecological research over recent years. By analyzing water, soil, or other environmental materials for DNA pieces, researchers can tell that thousands of different species have been in an area without having to observe the actual species passing through. To date, this eDNA process has mostly been employed to detect marine (海洋的) creatures, insects, and other wildlife. However, according to a paper published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, this technique could just as easily be applied to spot humans. An international team of researchers based at the University of Florida, USA, demonstrated that human genomic (基因组的) information can be easily detected in eDNA samples collected from water, sand, and even the air. While this capability could have practical applications, such as aiding in the search for missing persons or monitoring public health, the researchers highlight significant moral concerns. These concerns include the lack of agreement from individuals for their DNA to be collected, potential breaches (侵犯) of privacy, and the risk of genetic information being used for commercial purposes. This issue is particularly challenging for the field of eDNA, which relies on open and easily accessible data. “It is standard practice in science to make these data publicly available. However, this also means that if human information is not screened out, anyone could access this information,” says senior author Professor David Duffy, a wildlife disease genomics researcher at the University of Florida. “This raises issues around permission. Do we need to ask permission to collect these samples? Should we bring in some controls to remove human genetic data?” “Whenever we make a technological advancement, there are both beneficial and concerning potential uses. This situation is no different,” Duffy explains. “We are raising these issues early so that policymakers and society have adequate time to develop suitable guidelines.” 12. What is the primary use of eDNA in ecological research? A. Identifying species present in an area. B. Monitoring species evolution processes. C. Improving living conditions for wildlife. D. Sampling insects directly in their habitats. 13. Why is the accessibility of eDNA data a potential problem? A. It ignores practical applications of eDNA data. B. It may lead to unchecked genetic engineering. C. It could result in misuse of human genetic data. D. It raises concerns about wildlife disease research. 14. What does Duffy suggest people concerned do? A. To develop potential applications. B. To sample genetic information. C. To highlight advanced technology. D. To establish appropriate regulations. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. eDNA: A New Frontier in Ecological Monitoring B. eDNA: Human Detection Meets Privacy Challenges C. eDNA: A Breakthrough in Marine Research Techniques D. eDNA: Transforming Our Comprehension of Biodiversity 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。 Understanding Your Feelings Helps You Name And Tame (驯服) Them We all experience various feelings all the time.
