Scientists 22 the 15 members’ sleep patterns, social interactions and behavioral reactions through sensors to better understand how people 23 extreme changes in living conditions and environments. As expected, those in the cave 24 their sense of time. “40 days!

Shunghla was at a gathering with her 48 family in a river valley on Sunday when she became 49 from the group as they crossed a bridge over the river to eat lunch near a cathedral. When the family 50 Shunghla hadn’t crossed the bridge with them, about 20 adults in the group went back and started searching. There is no 51 service in the area and the family had been looking for Shunghla for about two hours when a passerby 52 to call police from a satellite phone at their nearby cabin around 2 p.m.. Policemen and volunteer ground search teams flocked (聚集) to the area. Drones and helicopters were also 53 to help find Shunghla. The office had the girl’s father record a message of 54 in their native language that was 55 over the search area. The message told Shunghla that there were people looking for her and trying to help. She was 56 around 3 p.m. Monday by two ground search volunteers about 1.5 miles south of where she was last seen.

The Nets arrived back in Brooklyn around 1:30 a. m. After a fierce game. Bridges had a long night, but be was 4 to teaching those kids.

I feel like I was probably one of the smartest math kids in my class,” he said, adding that when he was a kid, he’d love to 10 other students. The kids couldn’t 11 their temporary teacher, Mr. Bridges. And while meeting an NBA star is a kid’s dream, meeting these students 12 a dream for him.

For Jackie, this event was the climax of six years of hard work and her first time 16 against top fencers at a national level. Jackie’s fencing journey started at a summer camp before 8th grade. She didn’t 17 it at first. Wearing heavy gear and competing with more skilled fencers made her 18 . But the camp 19 her interest in fencing, leading her to pursue it throughout high school. There, she worked hard to 20 her skills with the foil (花剑). She found a supportive community of fencers and coaches, and her passion for the sport continued to 21 . In her senior year, 22 , Jackie got a serious ACL tear. It was a big 23 for her fencing. But after surgery and nine months of 24 physical therapy, she came back even stronger. The injury changed how she fenced. “I was always defensive, so my style didn’t change much,” she said. “But I have to 25 more about my back leg now.” She also learned that 26 thinking is important. “Negative thoughts can 27 your performance,” she said. Jackie’s family has always been 28 her. When she qualified for the Junior Olympics, she was 29 and told her family right away.

As an adult, I was determined to maintain a(n) 31 lifestyle, and in 2010 I 32 a stair-climbing challenge. Then in 2019, I attempted an even more challenging climbing event — the Vertical Mile Challenge — climbing over 28 floors fifteen times within three hours, but cramps (抽筋) slowed me down, and I finished just 33 the time limit. A year later, at 62, I returned to the challenge. Cramps 34 again, but this time, fellow climber, Jessica, offered me electrolyte salt (电解质盐) , which helped 35 the pain. Meanwhile, other climbers were shouting words of encouragement when they passed by me. When I made it to the 36 of the last lap, I felt 37 inside as I realized I was going to make it down in time. As I approached the first floor, I thought of last year’s disappointing ending and the heartache that soon 38 me. This time, my heart was dancing as I 39 the finishing line just thirty seconds before the time limit! I was met with cheers and high-fives, and a(n) 40 group hug from two climbers who witnessed my 41 last year. Thinking of the 42 shown by so many who had helped me reach my goal, my emotion overwhelmed me. My “me goal” had suddenly turned into a “me victory”, 43 my belief that there’s more inside us than we know, and we’re even 44 together. And that turned out to be the 45 trophy of all. 31．A．stressful B．comfortable C．active D．passive 32．A．applied for B．entered for C．made for D．allowed for 33．A．within B．against C．by D．beyond 34．A．struck B．eased C．restored D．withdrew 35．A．tolerate B．promote C．relieve D．increase 36．A．bottom B．top C．middle D．side 37．A．delighted B．nervous C．calm D．afraid 38．A．inspired B．motivated C．awakened D．consumed 39．A．blocked B．limited C．covered D．crossed 40．A．awkward B．ambitious C．lengthy D．brief 41．A．embarrassment B．growth C．success D．disappointment 42．A．sadness B．kindness C．pity D．respect 43．A．contradicting B．shaking C．challenging D．confirming 44．A．weaker B．rougher C．stronger D．luckier 45．A．biggest B．slightest C．least D．slimmest Passage 4 Dear Badminton, I do remember the days, before we met. I came back to an empty home with nothing to look forward to. There were many nights when I would lie in bed wondering if I would ever find something as 46 as you. After years of nothing happening, you moved next door in the form of a court and 47 your doors open for me to walk through. In my entire life, I never knew I would find such 48 in spending time getting to know you. When I started this journey with you, I was obviously 49 but you were patient and let me try again and again. That is one thing I like about you — no matter how big a 50 I might be in life, you give me a chance to be the best 51 of myself with you. I fail many times. I am out of breath. I run badly. But 52 I lose, you let me play again. When I’m too tired, you tell me that it’s time for me to take a rest while also assuring me that you’ll be open tomorrow for me to come back and pick up wherever I 53 . There were times when I’d think: Is this going to be another 54 hobby that I pursue only to give up after not making any 55 ? That has happened before. It happened with me playing the piano. It happened with me learning to make cheesecake. You make me want to be 56 . I wake up early to train. I put the right food into my body so that I stay healthy. I practice so that I’m always prepared for a 57 whenever it should happen. I’ll do my best to make you feel 58 . I’ll do my best to be there for you as 59 as the rock you’ve been for me. As a sport, you don’t believe words or read letters. You only see actions, which is why I’ll 60 the talk. When I’m in the court and I see old people coming in with their inhalers to play, I suddenly have the answer to that question I have been asked so many times — “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I want to be there with you till the end. Love you always, Paul 46．A．challenging B．expensive C．ordinary D．fulfilling 47．A．threw B．closed C．changed D．locked 48．A．frustration B．patience C．joy D．anxiety 49．A．excited B．nervous C．indifferent D．confident 50．A．success B．mistake C．winner D．disappointment 51．A．difference B．opponent C．version D．fan 52．A．in case B．as though C．even if D．now that 53．A．stick to B．give up C．leave off D．cut down 54．A．unique B．serious C．random D．rare 55．A．plans B．friends C．comments D．progress 56．A．happier B．smarter C．faster D．better 57．A．match B．day C．practice D．lesson 58．A．protected B．ignored C．criticized D．valued 59．A．rigid B．solid C．stubborn D．hard 60．A．walk B．have C．give D．deliver 话题3 人与动植物 Passage 1 At the beginning of the school year, each student would be given a special job for which they would be responsible for the whole term. Rita, a quiet and hard-working girl, 1 for an exciting task, like taking care of the class plants. 2 , she received a small box with sand and a small ant. Even though the teacher insisted that this task was very 3 , Rita could not help feeling disappointed. However, she 4 to do her best with her new responsibility. She began to study and 5 the ant, learning about its habitat (栖息地) and needs. She made the box a comfortable home for the ant, and it grew much bigger than 6 expected. Rita’s efforts caught the attention of her 7 teacher, Mr. Thompson. He turned her work into a class project, and Rita became the class expert on 8 . Her hard work helped the whole class learn about ant behaviour and habitats. In order to watch the ant 9 , they even built a small ant farm in the classroom. As the school year 10 , Rita’s classmates became more and more interested in the ant project. They started asking her questions and 11 the ant’s behaviour themselves. Rita felt 12 to share her knowledge and see her classmates so interested. She even organized a presentation where she shared her 13 with the whole school during the science fair (科学展).

In fact, the benefits of conducting animal testing are so great that it would be wrong not to do it. Animals aren’t like people. With the possible 16 of higher mammals (哺乳动物), animals aren’t self-aware, don’t 17 consciousness or experience feelings like people do. That’s why it’s 18 when lions eat zebras, mantises kill their mates or when scientists use mice to test medicines. 19 any unnecessary suffering should be avoided. That’s why laws like the Animal Welfare Act strictly govern the treatment of the 26 million animals used in testing every year in the U. S. Nearly every medical breakthrough in the last 100 years has involved animal testing. Nothing can 20 the research value of using a living test subject. Would it be ethical to keep back 21 life-saving medicine from billions of people because 22 it would require animal testing? Scientific facts save us from making poor decisions 23 on the beliefs that animals behave like humans. The benefits of strictly regulated animal testing, however, are undeniable. Future generations will be thankful for the advantages they’ll enjoy as a result of animal testing today.NO “Ethical animal experimentation” is a 24 in terms. And even if it weren’t, the unnecessary suffering caused by this 25 regulated industry would still be unacceptable. Humans are member of the animal kingdom. Non-human animals also feel emotions such as joy, sadness and fear, just like humans do. Behaving as if people are more important than other animals is speciesism and no 26 for cruelty or exploitation. In the U.S. alone, chemical, drug, food and cosmetics experiments kill over 100 million animals every year! The Animal Welfare Act, meant to protect animals, does not 27 rats, mice, fish and birds, which account for about 95 percent of research animals. This enables what could be considered the torture of millions of animals. The benefits of animal experimentation are often 28 . Very little hard evidence has been linked to its supposed benefits upon closer 29 . On rare occasions when it has, the knowledge gained could have been obtained without the use of animals. Scientists have other avenues to obtain necessary data, two of which are lab-grown tissue and computer modeling. When future generations look back on the unnecessary way people treated research animals and for so little benefit — they’ll be 30 . 16．A．evolution B．exception C．reaction D．stimulation 17．A．recover B．raise C．possess D．contain 18．A．acceptable B．approachable C．available D．agreeable 19．A．Contrarily B．Instead C．Accordingly D．Regardless 20．A．replace B．deserve C．analyse D．restrict 21．A．optimistically B．potentially C．apparently D．physically 22．A．developing B．submitting C．preserving D．reforming 23．A．acted B．concentrated C．reflected D．based 24．A．contradiction B．qualification C．discrimination D．confusion 25．A．strictly B．randomly C．poorly D．emotionally 26．A．demand B．excuse C．guarantee D．doubt 27．A．relate to B．prefer to C．attach to D．apply to 28．A．overstated B．underestimated C．undervalued D．overloaded 29．A．discussion B．cooperation C．competition D．inspection 30．A．grateful B．horrified C．generous D．flexible Passage 3 Apes and human beings share a lot in common when it comes to behavior. The evidence taken from the observation of the behavior of apes and children suggests that there are three causes for the outbreak of fighting and the exhibition of 31 by individuals. One of the most common causes of fighting among both children and apes was over the 32 of external objects. The argument over the ownership of any desired object — food, clothes, toys, females, and the affection of others — was sufficient reason to 33 force. In a case of monkeys’ disagreement over females, thirty females were killed. Two points are of particular interest to notice about these fights for possession. In the first place the fights are often carried to such an extreme that they end in the 34 destruction of the objects of common desire. Toys are torn to pieces and females are killed. In the second place it is observable, that 35 occurs when an object is desired by only one person or by someone else. There were many cases where toys and other objects which had been thrown away as useless were 36 defended by their owners when they became the object of some other child’s desire. Another cause of aggression is the tendency for children and apes greatly to 37 the invading of a stranger into their group. A new child in the class may be laughed at, isolated, and disliked. A new monkey may be bitten to death. It is interesting to note that anger occurs when a stranger comes from the 38 species. Monkeys do not mind being 39 by a goat or a rat. Children do not object when animals are introduced to the group. As a matter of fact, such newcomers are often 40 . But when monkeys meet a new monkey or children a strange child, aggression often occurs. This strongly suggests that the reason for the aggression is fundamentally possessiveness. The 41 of the newcomers is feared. The present members of the group feel that there will be more competitors for the food or the attention of the adults. Finally, another common source of fighting among children is a frustration or failure in their own 42 . A child will be stopped either by 43 causes such as bad weather or illness from doing something he wishes to do, for example, sail his boat or ride the bicycle. Sometimes the activity may be 44 because of the opposition of some adult. The child may also frustrate itself by 45 , through lack of skill or strength, to complete successfully some desired activity. Such a child will then in the ordinary sense become “naughty”. He will be in a bad or unfriendly temper. 31．A．fulfillment B．excitement C．isolation D．aggressiveness 32．A．usage B．possession C．value D．collection 33．A．turn to B．drive away C．come over D．make into 34．A．moderate B．subtle C．complete D．temporary 35．A．conflict B．negotiation C．agreement D．donation 36．A．reluctantly B．violently C．unwillingly D．peacefully 37．A．ignore B．accept C．prove D．hate 38．A．similar B．modest C．strong D．reliable 39．A．observed B．protected C．joined D．spoiled 40．A．offensive B．considerate C．generous D．welcome 41．A．strength B．attitude C．competition D．emotion 42．A．knowledge B．activity C．study D．personality 43．A．natural B．physical C．financial D．academic 44．A．enhanced B．operated C．extended D．prevented 45．A．learning B．failing C．imitating D．refusing Passage 4 It was midnight. Darren suddenly had a massive heart attack. The situation was 46 . But incredibly, Bear, the family dog, 47 the emergency and sprang into action to save him. That night, Darren’s wife, Janice, was asleep when Bear’s sudden barking 48 her. Bear usually slept downstairs, but now, he was upstairs, pushing at her door to 49 . Confused but 50 , she followed Bear downstairs to 51 if everything was OK, only to find Darren unconscious (无意识的) on the floor. “I screamed, ‘Oh my God!’” Janice later 52 . Janice called 911 without 53 . Help arrived within minutes, and Darren was 54 to the hospital. Upon arrival, doctors 55 he had suffered the most 56 type of heart attack. After hours of emergency surgery, Darren finally 57 . Doctors later said Darren’s 58 might not have been possible if Bear hadn’t stepped in. As Janice called 911, Bear repeatedly jumped on Darren’s chest — an untaught yet surprisingly 59 action that worked like CPR (心肺复苏术), compressing the heart and maintaining blood circulation. “When I regained consciousness, Bear was on my 60 ,” Darren said.

But she didn’t have to 1 her school, or even go outdoors to do it. Quigley is one of the students at Brownsville Middle School who 2 a high-tech farm inside a classroom. They decided what to grow, then planted seeds and 3 pounds of produce weekly. The crops are grown indoors, on floor-to-ceiling shelves, each 4 by nutrient-enriched water and lit by LED lamps. The students provide weekly produce for their cafeteria’s salads and other 5 . Quigley and her schoolmates also 6 some of their harvest to community members at a reasonable discount. It’s part of a new weekly “food box” 7 set up in the school’s yard. Three students 8 digital tablets to process orders, while other students 9 free salad featuring produce from the farm. Quigley’s 10 for farming arises from Teens for Food Justice, a 6-year-old nonprofit organization that has worked with community partners to 11 students at Brownsville and two other schools to become educated urban farmers and consumers. Quigley finds the farm experience 12 . She credits it with improving her community’s 13 . “We could have been stuck eating fried chicken every day.” she says. Now, thanks to the onsite farm, students have daily 14 to salad greens and other vegetables. Through 15 learning and direct action, these young farmers are proving that even in the heart of an urban environment, an agricultural project can make a difference. 1．A．miss B．start C．leave D．enter 2．A．built B．rented C．visited D．bought 3．A．shipped B．harvested C．imported D．packed 4．A．cooled B．cleaned C．poured D．fed 5．A．dishes B．communities C．events D．students 6．A．gave B．delivered C．sold D．exhibited 7．A．exam B．game C．lesson D．service 8．A．charged B．used C．produced D．stored 9．A．handed out B．took over C．exchanged for D．tried out 10．A．curiosity B．request C．duty D．love 11．A．assess B．observe C．train D．require 12．A．rewarding B．lucky C．tiring D．costly 13．A．unity B．health C．confidence D．safety 14．A．solutions B．limits C．reference D．access 15．A．hands-on B．theory-based C．lifelong D．independent Passage 2 Atomic (原子的) shapes are so simple that they can’t be broken down any further. Mathematicians are trying to 16 artificial intelligence (AI) to build a “periodic table” (周期表) of these shapes. Tom Coates at Imperial College London and his colleagues are working to classify (分类) atomic shapes 17 as Fano varieties, which are so simple that they can’t be broken down into smaller 18 . Just as chemists arranged elements in the periodic table by their atomic weight and group to 19 new insights, the researchers hope that organizing these atomic shapes by their various 20 will help in understanding them. The team has assigned each atomic shape a sequence of numbers 21 its features such as the number of holes it has or the 22 to which it twists around itself. This acts as a bar code (条形码) to 23 it. Coates and his colleagues have now created an AI that can predict certain properties of these shapes from their bar code numbers alone, with an 24 of 98 percent. The team member Alexander Kasprzyk, who works at the University of Nottingham, UK, says that the AI has let the team organize atomic shapes in a way that begins to 25 the periodic table, 26 when you read from left to right, or up and down, there seem to be organized patterns in the geometry (几何) of the shapes. The team hopes to 27 the model to the point where missing spaces in its periodic table could point to the existence of unknown shapes, which could 28 benefit further study. Graham Niblo at the University of Southampton, UK, stresses that humans will still need to understand the results provided by the AI and creates proofs of these ideas. “AI has 29 got unbelievable abilities. But in the same way that telescopes (望远镜) don’t put astronomers out of work, AI doesn’t put mathematicians out of work,” he says. “It just gives us new 30 that allows us to explore parts of the mathematical landscape that are out of reach.” 16．A．go about B．turn to C．break with D．throw in 17．A．rewarded B．encountered C．entitled D．diverged 18．A．components B．perspectives C．variations D．transformations 19．A．enhance B．estimate C．reveal D．guarantee 20．A．predictions B．properties C．arrangements D．allowances 21．A．trapped in B．compared to C．bent on D．based on 22．A．scale B．extent C．width D．dimension 23．A．identify B．grasp C．imply D．cast 24．A．concept B．impression C．essence D．accuracy 25．A．differ B．follow C．multiple D．claim 26．A．as though B．even if C．so that D．now that 27．A．display B．expose C．distinguish D．improve 28．A．in turn B．in contrast C．by turns D．in return 29．A．critically B．definitely C．strikingly D．comprehensively 30．A．setting B．booming C．backing D．calling Passage 3 Medha Gupta sometimes felt worried making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon, Virginia — especially during the colder months in winter. Her mother, Divya Gupta had a 31 : write an app. She was half-kidding, but Medha took the challenge 32 . So she went to work. The result was Safe Travel, an app 33 by Medha to help walkers feel more 34 when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can programme it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she 35 to arrive at a destination within a certain time. It was the first IOS app that Medha had created. While she didn’t think much would come from the project, her 36 caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia’s 10th District. The App Challenge is designed to encourage 37 to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and maths by 38 coding and computer science. Winning students are 39 to attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April and also received $ 250 in Amazon Web Service credits. Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design, 40 and test the app. As for her next app, Medha’s not certain. She 41 has her app-development tasks on hold because she’s 42 teaching herself AI to help deal with improper words on Facebook. Yes, she knows that there are teams of 43 probably doing the same thing. But she 44 it can’t hurt her own part, too. “If we see something 45 with the world, we should do something about it,” she said. “After all, the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves.” 31．A．suggestion B．clue C．perception D．secret 32．A．optionally B．seriously C．rudely D．unhesitatingly 33．A．recommended B．improved C．bought D．designed 34．A．secure B．encouraged C．comfortable D．mystical 35．A．attempts B．expects C．fails D．plans 36．A．trouble B．effort C．courage D．patience 37．A．employees B．competitors C．students D．judges 38．A．continuing with B．coping with C．contrasting with D．experimenting with 39．A．required B．invited C．forced D．tempted 40．A．programme B．upgrade C．change D．disprove 41．A．carelessly B．randomly C．aimlessly D．temporarily 42．A．devoted to B．worried about C．busy in D．fond of 43．A．entrepreneurs B．volunteers C．engineers D．physicians 44．A．concludes B．figures C．suspects D．prays 45．A．painful B．distressing C．ridiculous D．wrong Passage 4 I log onto a computer at the doctor’s office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room. There, a robotic nurse 46 me onto the scales and then takes my blood pressure. Some time later, in steps the doctor, who is also a robot. He notes down my 47 and gives me a prescription. I pay for my 48 using a credit card and return home without having met another human being. This is my nightmarish (噩梦般的) vision of the future, which hasn’t happened 49 yet.

This expedition-style small-ship cruise changed my mind. When our expedition leader 1 we would make a Zodiac (卓迪船) 2 at Jan Mayen, a tiny island in the Arctic Ocean, I stepped out onto my balcony aboard our ship, 3 to find clear skies and calm seas. 4 , I was met with a gust of wet wind and a view of mist-covered mountains in the distance. Jan Mayen wasn’t on our schedule, and due to its 5 location and often unpredictable weather, very few people ever 6 the island. I knew the 7 weren’t ideal, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me. In fact, the possibility of 8 adventures was one of the reasons I chose this small-ship cruise. So I 9 joined my shipmates in the waiting room, where we put on waterproof clothes and life jackets before hopping in the Zodiacs for a bumpy 10 to a black-sand beach. Even the fierce wind and rain couldn’t 11 our excitement as we 12 our way to the beach and hiked to a viewpoint, pausing to photograph little purple flowers 13 the volcanic rocks. Our visit there wasn’t about what we could do or see. It was an opportunity to just be — to exist in a brief 14 on a tiny, often inaccessible, volcanic rock in the Arctic. And that’s something I never thought I’d 15 in my lifetime. 1．A．knew B．announced C．remembered D．replied 2．A．living B．return C．landing D．mark 3．A．failing B．choosing C．struggling D．hoping 4．A．Instead B．Finally C．Thus D．Otherwise 5．A．strategic B．remote C．favorable D．central 6．A．set foot on B．fell victim to C．kept track of D．gained control of 7．A．constructions B．conditions C．descriptions D．distributions 8．A．unwanted B．unsecured C．unplanned D．unauthorized 9．A．mistakenly B．nervously C．routinely D．happily 10．A．walk B．flight C．ride D．path 11．A．weaken B．share C．convey D．fuel 12．A．changed B．lost C．fought D．made 13．A．in response to B．in view of C．in contrast to D．in defense of 14．A．moment B．experiment C．glance D．ceremony 15．A．value B．need C．miss D．experience Passage 2 I took my first trip to the Republic of Georgia last year. Every traveler I met spoke about a hike in the Greater Caucasus mountains that I absolutely couldn’t 16 . The hike from Kazbegi town to Gergeti Trinity Church is a short one, but based on the church’s location atop a mountain, I knew it was going to be a 17 climb — especially after six weeks of traveling around and 18 khachapuri, the country’s famous “cheese pie”. I arrived in Kazbegi on a cold, foggy afternoon and reluctantly (不情愿地) 19 early the next day with the idea to hike to the church that morning. Luckily, a chance encounter over the breakfast table at my guesthouse 20 me. I got chatting with a couple who had done the hike the 21 day and had a crucial tip for me, “Don’t follow the main trail. 22 , take the path on the left side of the mountain.” As it turned out, the main route — the trail everyone else was taking — was impossibly rough, but the lesser-walked path was a 23 trail along a mountain stream. Had I tried to take the main path, I would never have 24 the walk; however, following this gentler route, I experienced something totally 25 : A hike I actually enjoyed! I felt so accomplished by the time I reached the 26 . I’ve since moved to Georgia and have 27 myself to many other hikes in the Greater Caucasus. But if it weren’t for that first introduction to hiking in Georgia, I don’t think I would have had the 28 to attempt any other trails. “ 29 ” means something different to everyone, but I think there’s a bold traveler inside all of us.

Several years ago, I decided to go there for a visit. A local person offered to be my guide, which was a great 31 for me. One day, my guide turned off the 32 road and took me across a rough hillside instead. We picked our way carefully when, 33 , a Rafflesia (大王花) popped into my view among those stones. Oh, dear! More than pleased, I bent down and put my 34 inside the flower’s core to smell it. Nevertheless, to my surprise, it was only one of the 35 during the trip. As I 36 the end of my trip, there was still something I had yet to see. We planned to hunt for the most 37 creature there, the saltwater crocodile, which can 38 to a length of 6 meters or more. When we shone a flashlight towards the muddy shore, little sounds 39 in the darkness as if something unseen underwater had broken the surface. Taking a second look, we 40 two greedy eyes just above the water line. As we drew near, it 41 and we saw clearly it was a crocodile. With great caution, we neared it and finally could 42 its true dimension. It was a baby crocodile — no more than 0.6 meters long. Aha, whatever, I could now report to the 43 back home, who had never been to Borneo, that I had 44 a hungry crocodile in the wild and lived to tell the tale. The world out there is so fascinating.

I’ve had the 46 travel to some amazing places for work and pleasure throughout my life, but I had yet to 47 Antarctica. Several months ago, I was ready to book the trip. To get 48 , though, I needed a plan. For me one of the 49 things I wanted to see was the Antarctic 50 , which survives in the worst environment on Earth. So I 51 my trip to Antarctica based on the best time to see baby penguins (企鹅). I am a self-described bookworm (书虫), and this was the perfect trip to relax and 52 new knowledge I was able to 53 a variety of seals, birds, whales and penguins. A highlight during my 54 was when I got wthin a couple of feet of a 55 penguin, something that I will never forget. While I didn’t 56 it, this inquisitive creature decided to come to check me out. 57 took over me. It was 58 amazing to see Antarctic wildlife up close and personal.

Before cotton was introduced to the Yangtze and Yellow River basins, silk was one of the main 1 materials for clothing and quilts in ancient China, and 2 weaving was an important product for economic 3 in agricultural and rural areas. ★The Chinese legend says that the technology of 4 silkworms was invented and 5 by Leizu, the wife of Yellow Emperor, in the 27th century BC, which    6 the long history of Chinese sericulture. In recent years, archaeologists have 7 uncarbonized, yellowish-brown silk pieces and 8 well-preserved carbonized silk ribbons and threads that date back to about 4,700 years ago, at the Qianshanyang site in Wuxing, Zhejiang Province, along with silk fragments 9 the bronze ware at the Yin tomb in Anyang, Henan Province. In addition, there are 10 of mulberry, silkworm, and silk in the Yin Dynasty, which demonstrates that China is the birthplace of the silk industry. The 11 silkworms and sericulture techniques then 12 to many countries throughout the world from China. Sericulture is one of the great 13 of the ancient Chinese. For the past thousands of years, Chinese sericulturists have 14 and bred many excellent farming varieties of worms, 15 a set of feeding methods, and created a variety of sericulture tools, which have all had a positive influence on the world of sericulture and silk industry. 1．A．artificial B．ripe C．adequate D．raw 2．A．cotton B．wool C．silk D．cloth 3．A．conditions B．resources C．policies D．exchanges 4．A．raising B．cooking C．observing D．protecting 5．A．assessed B．claimed C．introduced D．registered 6．A．advocates B．indicates C．assumes D．admits 7．A．secured B．discovered C．exposed D．distributed 8．A．secretly B．randomly C．remarkably D．casually 9．A．adhering to B．filling up C．mixing with D．reacting to 10．A．relics B．products C．tools D．symbols 11．A．beautiful B．original C．peaceful D．allergic 12．A．spread B．adapted C．delivered D．withdrew 13．A．contents B．inventions C．incidents D．bonuses 14．A．selected B．switched C．reserved D．donated 15．A．passed down B．applied to C．depended on D．worked out Passage 2 Thangka, a religious painting, is often described as an illustrated encyclopedia of Tibetan culture. Goinqogyai, a master of Thangka art, has 16 the art for three decades and has discovered the differences between different forms of art when practicing it. He 17 realized that he could find inspiration in all art forms for 18 Thangka works. When studying traditional Chinese painting in Beijing, he attempted to 19 the realistic techniques of traditional landscape and bird paintings to Thangka art. Then he was shocked by an 20 he had never seen before. “It is 21 to present snow-covered mountains, lakes and forests in a 22 way,” he recalled. After his 23 in Beijing, Goinqogyai began to establish an art 24 of his own, which integrates elements of traditional Chinese painting with techniques of the Mansar School from the 17th and 18th centuries. To 25 nature up close, he often takes trips into the wild to photograph mountains, rivers and lakes, and then later 26 them with ink and brush. Goinqogyai is not the first Thangka artist to conduct such 27 . Manla Dondrub, a Thangka master from the 13th century, 28 ideas from Chinese landscape painting for his creations.

When she transferred to a high school in Paris, her lunch became a daily 31 . One Monday, one boy Pierre pointed at her lunch and whispered, “That looks 32 !” Li Mei flushed, quietly avoiding the cafeteria. Everything 33 when her history teacher, Mr. Dupont, 34 a project “Food & Culture Week”. Each student was to 35 a traditional dish and present its cultural significance. Li Mei 36 — would anyone care about Chinese food here? Eventually, she decided on jianbing, a flavor from hometown. On presentation day, she 37 the materials with trembling hands. To her surprise, Pierre volunteered to help cook. As they spread the batter (面糊), he 38 . “I made fun of your food at first, but now I see it’s part of your 39 .” When the crispy jianbing was served, classmates crowded around, asking questions about Chinese New Year traditions. The event made everyone 40 . Students who once 41 her now greeted her warmly. A girl named Sophie even proposed 42 a French-Chinese cookbook together for the school fair and suggested including family dishes passed down through generations. On the final day, 43 filled a book titled Bites Beyond Borders. Holding it, Li Mei realized that cultural gaps weren’t about walls but doors — waiting to be unlocked. A simple 44 had taught her more about belonging than any textbook. “Food is the 45 foreign policy,” Mr. Dupont said, biting into a red bean croissant. 31．A．adventure B．struggle C．routine D．necessity 32．A．messy B．ordinary C．strange D．special 33．A．mattered B．worked C．rested D．changed 34．A．praised B．postponed C．concluded D．launched 35．A．purchase B．review C．prepare D．receive 36．A．joked B．hesitated C．insisted D．protested 37．A．laid out B．held back C．heated up D．gave away 38．A．argued B．denied C．admitted D．added 39．A．identity B．interest C．personality D．quality 40．A．freed B．relaxed C．amused D．connected 41．A．betrayed B．overlooked C．envied D．misled 42．A．borrowing B．authoring C．promoting D．sponsoring 43．A．stories B．photos C．recipes D．quotes 44．A．game B．question C．gift D．lunch 45．A．tastiest B．heaviest C．oldest D．fastest Passage 4 Vivid Terracotta Warriors in different poses, and intricately (错综复杂地) designed stone armor...A total of 230 artifacts were on display at an exhibition that 46 on September 8, 2024, in Xi’an, Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 47 of the Terracotta Warriors and the 45th anniversary of the establishment of the Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum. The rare and precious exhibits 48 a bronze waterfowl, the first of its kind from the Qin era, and a bronze bell 49 the historical name of the Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum as the “Lishan Garden”. In 1974, a few farmers in Xiyang Village, Lintong County in Shaanxi Province, 50 unearthed some clay fragments (碎片) while 51 a well. Yuan Zhongyi, a famous Chinese archaeologist who is referred to as “the father of the Terracotta Warriors”, told media that he never 52 that the fragments would lead to any 53 discoveries. “We never imagined the pit would be so huge. The No.1 pit alone turned out to 54 an area of more than 14,000 square meters, ”Yuan was quoted by media as saying. The mausoleum of Emperor Qinshihuang took about 38 years and around 720,000 55 to build, standing as the grandest tomb with the richest burial 56 among all the imperial tombs throughout Chinese history.

But 52 I lose, you let me play again. When I’m too tired, you tell me that it’s time for me to take a rest while also assuring me that you’ll be open tomorrow for me to come back and pick up wherever I 53 . There were times when I’d think: Is this going to be another 54 hobby that I pursue only to give up after not making any 55 ? That has happened before. It happened with me playing the piano. It happened with me learning to make cheesecake. You make me want to be 56 . I wake up early to train. I put the right food into my body so that I stay healthy. I practice so that I’m always prepared for a 57 whenever it should happen. I’ll do my best to make you feel 58 . I’ll do my best to be there for you as 59 as the rock you’ve been for me. As a sport, you don’t believe words or read letters. You only see actions, which is why I’ll 60 the talk. When I’m in the court and I see old people coming in with their inhalers to play, I suddenly have the answer to that question I have been asked so many times — “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I want to be there with you till the end.

With the possible 16 of higher mammals (哺乳动物), animals aren’t self-aware, don’t 17 consciousness or experience feelings like people do. That’s why it’s 18 when lions eat zebras, mantises kill their mates or when scientists use mice to test medicines. 19 any unnecessary suffering should be avoided. That’s why laws like the Animal Welfare Act strictly govern the treatment of the 26 million animals used in testing every year in the U. S. Nearly every medical breakthrough in the last 100 years has involved animal testing. Nothing can 20 the research value of using a living test subject. Would it be ethical to keep back 21 life-saving medicine from billions of people because 22 it would require animal testing? Scientific facts save us from making poor decisions 23 on the beliefs that animals behave like humans. The benefits of strictly regulated animal testing, however, are undeniable. Future generations will be thankful for the advantages they’ll enjoy as a result of animal testing today.NO “Ethical animal experimentation” is a 24 in terms. And even if it weren’t, the unnecessary suffering caused by this 25 regulated industry would still be unacceptable. Humans are member of the animal kingdom. Non-human animals also feel emotions such as joy, sadness and fear, just like humans do. Behaving as if people are more important than other animals is speciesism and no 26 for cruelty or exploitation. In the U.S. alone, chemical, drug, food and cosmetics experiments kill over 100 million animals every year! The Animal Welfare Act, meant to protect animals, does not 27 rats, mice, fish and birds, which account for about 95 percent of research animals. This enables what could be considered the torture of millions of animals. The benefits of animal experimentation are often 28 . Very little hard evidence has been linked to its supposed benefits upon closer 29 . On rare occasions when it has, the knowledge gained could have been obtained without the use of animals. Scientists have other avenues to obtain necessary data, two of which are lab-grown tissue and computer modeling.

The evidence taken from the observation of the behavior of apes and children suggests that there are three causes for the outbreak of fighting and the exhibition of 31 by individuals. One of the most common causes of fighting among both children and apes was over the 32 of external objects. The argument over the ownership of any desired object — food, clothes, toys, females, and the affection of others — was sufficient reason to 33 force. In a case of monkeys’ disagreement over females, thirty females were killed. Two points are of particular interest to notice about these fights for possession. In the first place the fights are often carried to such an extreme that they end in the 34 destruction of the objects of common desire. Toys are torn to pieces and females are killed. In the second place it is observable, that 35 occurs when an object is desired by only one person or by someone else. There were many cases where toys and other objects which had been thrown away as useless were 36 defended by their owners when they became the object of some other child’s desire. Another cause of aggression is the tendency for children and apes greatly to 37 the invading of a stranger into their group. A new child in the class may be laughed at, isolated, and disliked. A new monkey may be bitten to death. It is interesting to note that anger occurs when a stranger comes from the 38 species. Monkeys do not mind being 39 by a goat or a rat. Children do not object when animals are introduced to the group. As a matter of fact, such newcomers are often 40 . But when monkeys meet a new monkey or children a strange child, aggression often occurs. This strongly suggests that the reason for the aggression is fundamentally possessiveness. The 41 of the newcomers is feared. The present members of the group feel that there will be more competitors for the food or the attention of the adults. Finally, another common source of fighting among children is a frustration or failure in their own 42 . A child will be stopped either by 43 causes such as bad weather or illness from doing something he wishes to do, for example, sail his boat or ride the bicycle. Sometimes the activity may be 44 because of the opposition of some adult. The child may also frustrate itself by 45 , through lack of skill or strength, to complete successfully some desired activity. Such a child will then in the ordinary sense become “naughty”. He will be in a bad or unfriendly temper. 31．A．fulfillment B．excitement C．isolation D．aggressiveness 32．A．usage B．possession C．value D．collection 33．A．turn to B．drive away C．come over D．make into 34．A．moderate B．subtle C．complete D．temporary 35．A．conflict B．negotiation C．agreement D．donation 36．A．reluctantly B．violently C．unwillingly D．peacefully 37．A．ignore B．accept C．prove D．hate 38．A．similar B．modest C．strong D．reliable 39．A．observed B．protected C．joined D．spoiled 40．A．offensive B．considerate C．generous D．welcome 41．A．strength B．attitude C．competition D．emotion 42．A．knowledge B．activity C．study D．personality 43．A．natural B．physical C．financial D．academic 44．A．enhanced B．operated C．extended D．prevented 45．A．learning B．failing C．imitating D．refusing 【答案】 31．D 32．B 33．A 34．C 35．A 36．B 37．D 38．A 39．C 40．D 41．C 42．B 43．A 44．D 45．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过观察猿类和儿童的行为，指出个体间爆发争斗和表现出攻击性的三个原因：对外部物体的占有、对陌生者入侵的憎恨以及自身活动受挫或失败。 31．考查名词词义辨析。句意：通过对类人猿和儿童行为的观察所获得的证据表明，个体发生争斗和表现出攻击性有三个原因。A. fulfillment履行；B. excitement兴奋；C. isolation隔离；D. aggressiveness攻击性。根据后文“One of the most common causes of fighting among both children and apes was over the 　　2　　 of external objects.”可知，文章主要讨论的是攻击性行为的原因。故选D项。 32．考查名词词义辨析。句意：儿童和猿类之间最常见的打架原因之一是对争夺外部物体的占有。A. usage使用；B. possession占有；C. value价值；D. collection收集。根据后文“The argument over the ownership of any desired object — food, clothes, toys, females, and the affection of others — was sufficient reason to 　　3　　 force.”可知，此处讨论的是对物品的占有权。故选B项。 33．考查动词短语辨析。句意：对任何想要的物品——食物、衣服、玩具、雌性动物和他人的感情——的所有权的争论足以诉诸武力。A. turn to转向，求助于；B. drive away赶走；C. come over过来；D. make into制成。根据前文“The argument over the ownership of any desired object”可知，争论会引发武力解决。故选A项。 34．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：首先，争斗常常进行到如此极端，以至于最终完全摧毁了共同渴望的物品。A. moderate适度的；B. subtle微妙的；C. complete完全的；D. temporary暂时的。根据后文“Toys are torn to pieces and females are killed.”可知，争斗导致物品被彻底摧毁。故选C项。 35．考查名词词义辨析。句意：其次，可以观察到，当只有一个人或其他人想要一个物品时，就会发生冲突。A. conflict冲突；B. negotiation谈判；C. agreement协议；D. donation捐赠。根据前文“there are three causes for the outbreak of fighting and the exhibition of 　　1　　 by individuals.”和后文“desired by only one person or by someone else”可知，此处讨论的是冲突的发生。故选A项。 36．考查副词词义辨析。句意：有许多案例中，被当作无用之物丢弃的玩具和其他物品，当它们成为其他孩子渴望的对象时，会被拥有者暴力捍卫。A. reluctantly不情愿地；B. violently暴力地；C. unwillingly不愿意地；D. peacefully和平地。根据前文“there are three causes for the outbreak of fighting and the exhibition of 　　1　　 by individuals.”和后文“defended by their owners when they became the object of some other child’s desire.”可知，这里指暴力捍卫。故选B项。 37．考查动词词义辨析。句意：另一个攻击性的原因是儿童和猿类非常憎恨陌生者入侵他们的群体。A. ignore忽视；B. accept接受；C. prove证明；D. hate憎恨。根据后文“A new child in the class may be laughed at, isolated, and disliked.

Mathematicians are trying to 16 artificial intelligence (AI) to build a “periodic table” (周期表) of these shapes. Tom Coates at Imperial College London and his colleagues are working to classify (分类) atomic shapes 17 as Fano varieties, which are so simple that they can’t be broken down into smaller 18 . Just as chemists arranged elements in the periodic table by their atomic weight and group to 19 new insights, the researchers hope that organizing these atomic shapes by their various 20 will help in understanding them. The team has assigned each atomic shape a sequence of numbers 21 its features such as the number of holes it has or the 22 to which it twists around itself. This acts as a bar code (条形码) to 23 it. Coates and his colleagues have now created an AI that can predict certain properties of these shapes from their bar code numbers alone, with an 24 of 98 percent. The team member Alexander Kasprzyk, who works at the University of Nottingham, UK, says that the AI has let the team organize atomic shapes in a way that begins to 25 the periodic table, 26 when you read from left to right, or up and down, there seem to be organized patterns in the geometry (几何) of the shapes. The team hopes to 27 the model to the point where missing spaces in its periodic table could point to the existence of unknown shapes, which could 28 benefit further study. Graham Niblo at the University of Southampton, UK, stresses that humans will still need to understand the results provided by the AI and creates proofs of these ideas. “AI has 29 got unbelievable abilities. But in the same way that telescopes (望远镜) don’t put astronomers out of work, AI doesn’t put mathematicians out of work,” he says. “It just gives us new 30 that allows us to explore parts of the mathematical landscape that are out of reach.” 16．A．go about B．turn to C．break with D．throw in 17．A．rewarded B．encountered C．entitled D．diverged 18．A．components B．perspectives C．variations

Her mother, Divya Gupta had a 31 : write an app. She was half-kidding, but Medha took the challenge 32 . So she went to work. The result was Safe Travel, an app 33 by Medha to help walkers feel more 34 when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can programme it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she 35 to arrive at a destination within a certain time. It was the first IOS app that Medha had created. While she didn’t think much would come from the project, her 36 caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia’s 10th District.
