About Our Community Science Programs The Parks Conservancy's community science programs combine landscape-scale science with community engagement.Community members participate in large-scale studies to list and monitor species and ecosystems in the parks,helping to fill gaps in our knowledge about our local environment. These programs are also an opportunity for volunteers to learn new skills and to connect to local public lands through participation in science. Programs include: *Golden Gate Raptor Observatory-a program of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy in cooperation with the National Park Service to inspire the preservation of California raptor populations. *Marin Wildlife Watch-a mountain-wide study using motion-activated cameras to monitor mammal populations. *Tamalpais Bee Lab-an inventory of wild bees on public lands throughout Marin County. *California Giant Salamander Inventory-documenting this mysterious species'population through crowd-sourced data. All the work is done in partnership with our agency partners,academic institutions,and nonprofit conservation organizations.When you participate in one of our programs,you get to learn new skills and contribute to these important bodies of knowledge about the world. How to participate Contact Us You can learn more about our approach to community science and submit application on https://www.onetam.org. 21.What is the aim of Community Science?

D.By attending an interview with agents. B We sat at a riverside restaurant on the Willamette River,enjoying spaghetti and watching Christmas boats pass."Isn't this the best evening ever?"I said,grasping my husband's hand.We seldom ate out,and the sight of the festive boats added a touch of magic. Smiling and chatting,we stretched the dinner out to nearly two hours,ending it with shared chocolate cake.I almost danced to get my coat-a black wool one given to me by my daughter. I reached for the only black coat on the rack (and put it on.Wait,what?It reached below my ankle,not my knee.And I guessed it to be a size 16,not my 8.Blinking back tears,I left my number with the hostess,sure the mix-up would soon be corrected.But no call came that night, nor the next day.Heartsick,I hung the too-big coat in the closet,still waiting. Months later,another freezing night,my husband and I were getting ready to go to friends for dinner.I pulled the coat off its hanger,pursing my lips about my lost coat. "Wow!"Penny,an old friend,exclaimed as soon as we walked in."Very classic,"said Missy,the hostess.I arched an eyebrow."You're kidding.It's four sizes too big."I nearly launched into the whole story,but their words stopped me.For the first time I looked at the coat more carefully and noticed the fine label.I frowned.Did I need an attitude adjustment?What if I was positive instead of negative about my unplanned acquisition? Instead of complaining,I asked myself what I needed to do with this coat in order to enjoy it.I had it altered by a woman from church free of charge.The following week,the temperature dropped sharply.As I gathered this altered coat to step into the car,I recalled the coat my daughter gave me, but this one was nearly as warm-and,as Missy said,a classic.Now I wear it with pleasure. 24.What can be inferred about the author from the first two paragraphs? A.She valued the family time. B.She led a luxurious lifestyle C.She performed a dance that day.

D.Confused but unconcerned. 26.What mainly led to her decision to have the coat adjusted? A.The advice from her friends. B.The reflection deep in her heart. C.The free service from a woman. D.The dramatic drop of temperature. 27.What does she intend to convey through the story? A.Don't cry over spilt milk. B.Never judge a book by its cover. C.God helps those who help themselves. D.When life gives you lemons,make lemonade. C Buildings and construction contribute to over 37%of global carbon emissions ()which include both operational emissions (from heating,cooling,and lighting)and embodied carbon (from building materials and construction activities).Retrofitting existing buildings -especially deep retrofits-can significantly cut these emissions while also improving health,comfort,and reducing long-term energy costs for residents. Environmental scientist Diana Urge-Vorsatz emphasizes that deep retrofits reduce heating and cooling energy use by 80-90%.Unlike minor upgrades,such as replacing windows or doors,deep retrofits involve a complete redesign of insulation,windows,air sealing,and ventilation systems.This "whole-building"approach treats the structure as an integrated system.Research shows that,in addition to saving energy,deep retrofits lead to cleaner indoor air,fewer allergens,and lower rates of respiratory illness. To meet international climate targets,the European Union aims to cut building-related emissions sharply by 2050.Urge-Vorsatz argues that strong funding is essential since the costs are too high for most individuals.She recommends using funds from fossil fuels to support energy-efficient upgrades. Reducing unnecessary new construction-especially of luxury homes -and reusing existing buildings are also crucial strategies. Another key focus'is using biobased insulation materials,made from fast-growing plants such as hemp,straw,or even seaweed like Posidonia,which not only reduce dependence on fossil fuels but also have the potential to store carbon and release fewer toxins ()However,their supply is limited,and haryesting them sustainably causes challenges. 英语试卷（共12页)第6页 To better understand the environmental impacts of building materials,Urge-Vorsatz and her team use life cycle assessments,which evaluate the total impact of materials from production to end-of-life. Though complex,these tools help builders and policymakers make informed choices.Urge-Vorsatz concludes that deep retrofits combined with sustainable materials are never optional."Will we manage it?That's not the question,"she says."We have to.The future is always in our hands." 28.What does "deep retrofit"mainly involve? A.Construction of new homes. B.Addition of decorative materials C.Window and door replacement. D.Energy saving and system upgrade. 29.What probably makes for the realization of"deep retrofits"? A.Bringing in investment. B.Constructing luxury houses. C.Avoiding existing buildings. D.Using fossil fuels efficiently. 30.What is the main difficulty of using biobased materials? A.Heavy toxicity. B.Fast growth. C.Unstable sourcing. D.Carbon storage. 31.What does Urge-Vorsatz imply in the last paragraph? A.Life cycle assessments are simple tools. B.Deep retrofits should be put into practice. C.Life cycle assessments require wise choices. D.Deep retrofits will encounter many difficulties. 0 As human species,our big brains and flexible hands have always made us feel special.However,in a study published in the journal Comminications Biology,researchers investigated nearly 100 primate species including monkeys,apes and humans and revealed that the creatures with longer thumbs() usually had larger brains. The researchers assumed that our ancestors first evolved (hand flexibility,which then promoted the development of a larger brain.For instance,as primates'control of objects improved,their brains would have had to become bigger to use these abilities,Joanna Baker,lead author of the study said."Ultimately,though,the two needed to go hand in hand,"she adds. While Baker and her colleagues predicted that longer thumbs would be tied to growth of the 英语试卷（共12页)第7页 cerebellum-the part of the brain that influences movement and coordination ()the team was surprised to find that they are actually associated with the neocortex,a large region involved in cognition and sensory information.This suggests that longer thumbs are "linked to thinking,not movement."Later,they tested the idea that the evolution of longer thumbs is associated with tool use, but they didn't find any correlation. Ultimately,"we've always known that our big brains and sharp fingers set us apart,but now we can see they didn't evolve separately,"Baker says.The study suggests our species is not quite as unique as we once thought,and it also represents the first direct evidence that brain evolution and hand flexibility are associated throughout the primate family tree. Fotios Alexandros Karakostis,a biological anthropologist who was not involved in the study, comments that the research indicates that adaptations to the brain and hand likely evolved together. However,he notes that the brain size and thumb length cannot take only credit for the brain evolution or high level of hand coordination. 32.What was the assumption of the researchers according to paragraph 2? A.Brain evolution determined hand size. B.Bigger brains made humans intelligent. C.Object control was easy for ancestors. D.Hand flexibility drove brain development. 33.Why does the author mention"tool use"in paragraph 3? A.To make a prediction. B.To clarify a concept. C.To present a different view. D.To offer supporting evidence. 34.What is Karakostis'attitude towards the research? A.Favourable. B.Objective. C.Doubtful. D.Indifferent. 35.What is the main idea of the text? A.The bigger the brain,the longer the thumb. B.Big brains and sharp fingers set humans apart. C.Primate brains and thumbs evolve together. D.Evolution mainly depends on brains and hands. 英语试卷（共12页)第8页 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。 It is true that some folks are naturally more patient than others.But patience is not necessarily a born quality.36 Here are some tips on how to be more patient in your everyday life. Redefine what patience actually means. If your idea of patience looks like being endlessly agreeable,never getting annoyed,and staying calm through any inconvenience,no wonder you feel it is impossible to be patient.37 Let it happen without destroying your mood. 38 A big reason why we get so upset when life does not go our way is that we are holding onto a bunch of unspoken"shoulds".At its core,impatience often comes from"main character energy,"-you stay focused on living your life.39 They may be dealing with their own delays,changes,and priorities too.So practice acceptance,and then build empathy ()Before losing your temper,try pausing to consider what else might be going on first. Slow down your life with your physical movements. When everything is seemingly urgent or overwhelming,slowing down seems like the last thing you would want to do.But rushing around only makes you more annoyed,restless,and anxious.On the contrary,when you physically slow down,your brain tends to follow.Even just taking more time to take a few deep breaths can do wonders in gradually building patience.40 A.Put yourself in someone else's shoes. B.Change your own attitude towards others. C.In fact,it is something that you can work on. D.It makes sense to control yourself and be patient. E.Plus,when you are stuck in frustration,it is hard to consider others. F.Patience is about learning to let go of the need to control everything. G.That is how you begin to think more clearly and handle whatever is testing your patience. 英语试卷（共12页)第9页 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。 There's an autumn day that I recall every time I find myself caught up in the busy life.I was a teenager then stuck in the 41 of upcoming college applications.It was my 42,Mr. Jensen,who brought me back to earth. He was a quiet man in his seventies who lived next door.We had a shared love for 43 One afternoon,feeling stressed and 44,I headed outside to my backyard garden where I began to violently weed ()Mr.Jensen was there as usual,45 his rosebushes.Seeing my sadness,he 46 and quietly started weeding alongside me.After a few minutes of shared 47,he finally spoke up. “You know,”he began,“weeding a garden is a lot like_48life.” Curious,I stopped and looked at him.He continued,"Sometimes,we are so absorbed in the weeds that we forget to enjoy the 49."
