The new finding is based on a theory about insect orientation ()Due to their small and lightweight bodies,insects experience less air resistance, allowing them to achieve higher accelerations(加速度)，which in turn makes it challenging for them to sense up and down during flight.So,they typically rely on stable light sources like the moon and stars to orient themselves at night, keeping the sky at their backs to stay upright. However,the introduction of artificial lights confuses their natural sense of direction.The insects you see circling street lights,in other words,are probably lost.To reach these conclusions,scientists used high-resolution cameras to film insects flying around artificial lights in Costa Rica.They also attached tiny sensors to insects and filmed motion-capture videos of them in flight. In this way,researchers can slow down the insects'pace and study their movements in greater detail.The videos showed insects turning their backs toward sources of artificial light-even at the price of flipping over or crashing. This can be dangerous for insects,as circling around artificial lights can put them at risk from enemies,exhaustion,and starvation,causing many to die before momning. Night artificial light is a major cause of insect population loss,which could severely impact crop pollination and food supplies for larger animals,including humans."Insects have been flying around for 370 million years,and it's just in the last 150 years that it's really gone wrong for them,"says entomologist Samuel Fabian."If we don't want to influence large amounts of insect populations,we should not have lights shining up into the sky." 21.Why do insects circle street lights according to scientists? A.They are attracted by street lights. B.They can sense up and down more easily. C.They experience less air resistance around street lights. D.They can't find their way due to the disturbance of street lights. 22.How did the scientists conduct the experiment? A.By detecting the living environment of insects. B.By making videos to study insects'movements. C.By monitoring the insects'brain activity during flight. D.By building models to analyze insects'motion patterns. 23.Why does the author mention Fabian's words in the last paragraph? A.To stress the long history of insect flight. 3 B.To appeal to people to reduce light pollution. C.To show the importance of insects to food supplies. D.To remind people of the influence human activities have on insects. 24.Which is the most suitable title for the text? A.How Artificial Lights Impact the Ecosystem B.How Insects Locate Themselves in the Flight C.What Leads to the Loss of Insect Populations D.What's the Truth Behind Moths Flying to Flames B What is the likelihood of you having someone who looks just like you? Would it be a good thing?And if you did have one,would you want to meet them? Consider how often your facial features are used to identify you.Your passport,ID card and driving licence all bare your face.To enter your workplace, you likely need to be recognizable.You may need your face to unlock your smartphone and possibly need it to exclude you from being present at a crime scene. The word "doppelganger"refers to a person who looks the same as you, essentially sharing your features,those that you thought were unique to you and your identity.Not an identical twin,as a doppelganger has no relation to you. The idea originated in German folklore.A doppelganger was said to be a spirit-double that could replicate every human and animal on the earth. So,let's get real.What are the chances of you having one in the first place? There is said to be one in 135 chance of an absolute dead ringet for you existing somewhere in the world,so the chances are pretty low,despite folk wisdom promising you otherwise.And the chances of meeting?The mathematical certainty of finding this particular person is supposedly less than one in a trillion! That said,these statistics may be a good thing.Historically,having a double hasn't always been a positive.Back in 1999,an innocent American man, indistinguishable from the real criminal,was sent to prison for robbery,where he stayed for 19 years.In the end,it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity.In a different case,a woman in New York was accused of trying to poison her doppelganger with deadly cheesecake so that she could steal her identity. 25.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A.Overuse of identity information. B.Leakage of identity information. C.Misuse of personal information. D.Wide application of facial features. 26:What does the underlined word"replicate"in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Copy. B.Identify. C.Motivate. D.Recognize. 27.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4? A.Contradicting a belief. B.Proving a theory C.Raising a question D.Listing statistics. 28.How does the author clarify the negative influence of"doppelganger"? A.By interpreting data. B.By citing criminals. C.By studying possibility. D.By giving examples. C The sun's"sneeze"arrived as predicted!China's National Center for Space Weather (NCSW)forecast geomagnetic activities(地磁活动)to occur from March 24 to 26.According to geomagnetic monitoring data,Earth experienced a geomagnetic storm that continued for 12 hours on March 25.Geomagnetic storms happen due to coronal mass ejections(CMEs,日冕物质抛射)during which some material from the sun's outer layer makes its way to Earth.They can shoot out a huge amount of material and carry a strong magnetic field,which causes major changes in Earth's magnetic environment. "Geomagnetic storms can disrupt radio waves and cause problems for ground communication and satellite signals,"Professor Cai Zheng from Tsinghua University told Xinhua.This can influence the accuracy of navigation (systems and the quality of signals for phones and satellite TV.Strong geomagnetic storms can also impact power transmission systems,even resulting in power failure.To reduce the effects of geomagnetic storms,it's recommended to power off unnecessary electronic devices,especially high-powered ones,to prevent damage or fire.Critical equipment and infrastructure(基a础设施)also require special protective measures,including regular checks and data backups, noted Guangming Daily. Intense geomagnetic activity can also affect the migration and navigation abilities of animals.For instance,homing pigeons rely on Earth's magnetic field for navigation during flight.Geomagnetic storms can affect their ability to find their way,making it difficult for them to return home. Despite these disruptions,what about the impact of such storms on humans? Shortly after the recent geomagnetic storm,the topic of"geomagnetic storms and sleep"trended on Sina Weibo with some internet users claiming that they had trouble sleeping.However,it was just a convenient excuse."Geomagnetic storms don't influence human health,"Zong Weiguo at China Meteorological Administration told Science and Technology Daily. 29.What can we learn from the first paragraph? A.Geomagnetic storms are caused by CMEs. B.Geomagnetic storms change the Earth's environment. C.The Geomagnetic storm predicted by NCSW lasted 3 days. D.Some substances from the sun's inner layer focus magnetic fields. 30.What effects may geomagnetic storms nave? A.They make it difficult for people to sleep. 5 B.They bring inconvenience to human life. C.They force electronic devices power-off. D.They sharpen animals'sense of direction. 31.What measures are advised to minimize the imnpacts of geomagnetic storms? A.Deleting unnecessary data frequently. B.Avoiding driving out during that period. C.Checking important equipment regularly. D.Turning off the badly-needed electronics. 32.What is the best title for the text? A.Geomagnetic storms:Valuable natural-activities B.Geomagnetic storms:Uninvited guests from the sun. C.Geomagnetic storms:An unpredictable phenomenon. D.Geomagnetic storms:Convenient excuses for humans. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） People mean well when they encourage us to be strong when we face the challenging moments of our lives,but that effort is an artificial construct. 33 Your desire to be strong is a dam you build to control the flow of complex teelings.On the outside,everything is fine.People see you pushing forward and they admire this"strength".However,unless you keep building that dam higher,it will eventually overflow.It usually happens when we least expect it. Instead of resisting weak moments,I have learned to embrace them.When I embrace weakness,I feel peace.I sense love.There is freedom in that decision that isn't present when my focus is on staying strong.34 An effort to "stay strong"denies you the feelings your heart longs to experience under those challenging circumstances. The strongest bonds I see between two people are the ones that get developed when both are willing to embrace their weaknesses with each other. Those moments offer honesty,and chances to demonstrate loyalty and love. 35 We think we're stopping a series of difficult emotions,but actually we're blocking love from reaching us from the other direction. Could I be hurt by allowing myself to show and share my weakest moments? Of course,hurt people sometimes hurt others.30 And I believe that if someone has embraced their weaknesses and feers free,they can one day inspire others through their journey. It is tempting to be strong,but building a dam will not offer a long-term solution.37 A.But freed peopre will help to free others. B.Imagine that your emotions represent a river. C.That's why I encourage people to do the same. D.You can reach-this by taking some simple steps. 6 E.Dealing with your weakness cannot be overstated, F. Without weakness,there is never a ohanoe for a relationship to expand. G.Allowing love to flow while embracing weakness is the only way to grow. 第三部分语言运用（共三节，满分37.5分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分。满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项。 The cave entrance opened like a stone mouth,breathing out damp air.Maya tightened her headlamp,its beam cutting through 38 darkness."Stay close," warned Ben,their guide.As their team of five walked deeper,the walls narrowed, revealing39 patterns carved by ancient water.This mapping mission into Crystal Cave's uncharted passages integrated science with raw40 For hours,they crawled through tunnels shining with calcite veins )Maya was amazed at nature's 41 beauty until a sudden rockfall thundered behind them,sealing their exit.Dust choked the air.Horror surged when Eva's GPS failed."We're trapped!"she cried.Ben's voice42 the fear:"Save batteries.Follow the 43"He meant the underground river's fiow-their only compass.

Hours seemed to turn into an exhausting march.Just as despair set in,Maya spotted a sliver of light glowing faintly..“Look!Moss(青苔)growing一we're near an exit!"she cried.The team climbed with difficulty toward the light. Emerging at dusk,they collapsed on grass,trembling not from cold,but overwhelming 48.

She was asking for the moment in which "you felt the best,like you had the world in the palm of your hand."Some described grand awards;others described winning a tournament.But I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at the age of seven. Actually,when I was born,my brother was a junior student at school,so there seemed to be a generation gap between us.In his eyes,maybe I was too little to understand him or too young to share his sadness or happiness. However,I hero-worshipped him.I was so curious about his world that I couldn't wait to inquire about his school life the moment he came back home."I am so occupied with my assignment.Can't you wait...?"he often responded like that.Many times,I even wanted to literally follow my brother,sobbing every time I was prevented from hanging around with him.'I was an annoyance to him."I murmured sadly. Later,I stopped trying to impress him and learned to be totally indifferent. Perhaps the silent treatment would get more attention.I was wrong.We soon fell into a sad pattern-I avoided him,he ignored me,and deep inside,it hurt. Indifferent or hostile,he was only a brother in name.I believed we would forever be apart,two housemates without conversation,two strangers without warmth.I gradually assumed that my big brother didn't show any concern for me at all.My little heart got broken. But the tide was turning last year.I got a bright-red bike as a birthday gift, but mom was too busy with endless work and had no time to teach me.Of course, even though I was eager to learn,I was reluctant to beg my big brother to teaeh me,so I decided to-teach myself to ride,a little bit each day,but in vain.On that fateful day,it was no different.I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture,and I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry. 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。 Paral:I guess that was what caused my brother to come outside.
