B A New York food bank took on a huge task this month when LocalCoho,an eco-friendly fish farm in Auburn,offered 40,000 pounds of live salmon()before closing forever.The gift-equal to 13,000 fish swimming in giant tanks-created both a chance to help and a race against time:Workers needed to turn the live fish into frozen meals quickly to avoid waste and feed hungry families. LocalCoho had developed special water-saving methods to raise fish for top-quality sushi shops but couldn't get enough money to grow.With the farm closing on January 31st,manager Adam Kramarsyck wanted to donate the fish instead of turning them into fuel."We're making something good from a bad situation,"he explained.Normally,the farm could only handle 600 fish per week by hand-nowhere near enough to clear tanks holding ten times more. The food bank gathered 42 helpers who stepped into waist-high water,using nets to catch the fish."The short time limit made everything more stressful,"said operations leader Brian McManus.Volunteer Christina Hudson Kohler,who usually sorts vegetables,traded her regular job for a new task.She put on rubber boots and heavy gloves to move struggling fish into cooling boxes.Farm workers stayed late to help,while a trucking company offered free refrigerated delivery to a nearby food factory. In just three weeks,the team created over 26,000 frozen fish meals for 238 food banks and shelters-a huge protein supply for families struggling to afford food."Meat is super important but hard to get for people in need,"McManus said,calling this the biggest fish donation they'd ever received.The project saved tons of food that might have been thrown away,such as 35%of America's uneaten groceries. Kramarsyck felt proud that the farm's earth-friendly ideas still helped people despite closing.Food buyer Andrew Katzer admired the farm's effort."Most failing businesses would give up,but the farm's workers worked overtime to save every fish,he said. 【高二第二次月考·英语试题第3页（共8页）】 26-T-331B As frozen salmon reaches community kitchens across New York,the far-reaching impact of different groups working together is truly remarkable.Though LocalCoho's business didn't survive,its last gift became a powerful lesson in teamwork and hope-one fish fillet(at a time. 24.What made LocalCoho decide to close its fish farm? A.Water shortage. B.Lack of funds. C.Low fish quality. D.Reduced food demand. 25.What can we infer from paragraph 3? A.Sorting vegetables was simple for volunteers. B.The food bank had many fish-loving volunteers. C.Handling the fish was pressing and challenging. D.The food bank often dealt with large fish donations. 26.What can we learn from Andrew Katzer's words? A.He spoke highly of LocalCoho's effort. B.He suggested LocalCoho should expand. C.He felt most businesses focused only on profit. D.He doubted the effectiveness of the donation. 27.What does the author want to stress in this story? A.The difficulty food banks face. B.The need to support fish farms. C.The importance of courage. D.The power of teamwork. C Politicians often use humor to win public support,but scientists traditionally avoid jokes, worried that a lighthearted tone might reduce their authority and,consequently,the trustworthiness of their findings.A new study challenges this idea,showing that well-chosen humor can actually make scientists more likable and their research more trustworthy. Led by Alexandra Lynn Frank from the University of Georgia,the research tested humor's role in science communication through social media.The team created posts from a fictional scientist,Dr.Jamie Devon,sharing cartoons about artificial intelligence(AI).These posts used three humor styles:playful comparisons(like giving robots human characteristics),mean jokes about technology,or a mix of both.Some posts had no humor as a comparison. Over 2,200.participants viewed these posts in an online experiment.They rated how funny the content was,how much they liked the scientist,and how credible the information seemed.Results revealed that light,positive humor-such as showing AI as a curious robot asking questions-made the scientist feel more approachable and the research more reliable. However,mean.or:unfriendly jokes reduced trust in the scientist. "Humor helps people connect with'scientists,"Frank explained."When we laugh,we're more open to listening."But she stressed that jokes must feel natural,adding,"If the audience doesn't find it funny,it could backfire."For example,playful cartoons worked better than making fun of tech failures. The study advises scientists to avoid tough jokes targeting individuals.Instead,gentle humor that simplifies complex ideas-like comparing climate change to the Earth having a "fever"-can build interest and fight misinformation.While focused on AI,these tips apply to fields like health or environmental science. In today's fast-paced digital world,humor could help scientists stand out on social media. Funny posts may attract more viewers,make tough topics easier to understand,and build public trust.The key is balancing fun with facts:lighthearted jokes don't weaken expertise but create friendly,memorable connections. Frank's team hopes their findings encourage scientists to experiment with humor.As one participant noted,"A scientist who jokes feels more human-like someone I'd trust. 【高二第二次月考·英语试题第4页（共8页）】 26-T-331B 28.Scientists avoid using jokes in their communication because they fear that jokes A.waste research time B.might confuse the public C.make their work seem unreliable D.distract from scientific facts 29.What does the underlined word "backfire"in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Science and Social Media B.Jokes in Various Social Contexts C.The Impact of Humor on Public Trust D.The Role of Humor in Science Communication D The bald eagle,America's national symbol of strength and freedom,has made an inspiring comeback from near extinction.Once endangered due to harmful pesticides and habitat loss, these great birds now fly across skies they nearly disappeared from decades ago.Their story is one of environmental recovery and cultural pride. In the mid-20th century,the widespread use of the insecticide DDT caused eagle populations to drop sharply.The chemical weakened eggshells,making it nearly impossible for chicks to survive.By the 1980s,states like New Jersey had only one nesting()pair left. But after DDT was prohibited in 1972,conservation (efforts began.Scientists transported eagles from stable populations in Canada and used creative methods,like replacing real eggs with fake ones,to protect chicks.These efforts paid off:New Jersey now has over 300 nesting pairs,and the species was removed from the US endangered list in 2007. "They're a conservation success story,says Maia Edwards of the American Bald Eagle Foundation.Eagles have proven adaptable,nesting even in busy areas like suburban neighborhoods. Kathy Clark,a wildlife expert in New Jersey,recalls young eagles surviving in a crowded town near New York."They're tough-like true Jersey birds,"she says with a sense of wonder. However,challenges remain.Crashes with cars,habitat loss and diseases like bird flu threaten their recovery.Zoos and rescue centers,such as New Jersey's Turtle Back Zoo,care for injured birds that can't return to the wild.Conservationists stress the need for clean waterways and protected spaces to ensure eagles grow well. Culturally,the bald eagle's comeback has won hearts.Recent laws officially declared it America's national bird,though many assumed it already was.Native American communities, who view eagles as spiritual symbols,supported the move.The birds also inspire sports fans-like the Philadelphia Eagles football team competing in this year's Super Bowl. For average Americans,spotting a bald eagle remains amazing.Birdwatcher Dan Day, who grew up rarely seeing them,now encounters eagles regularly."It brightens up your whole day,he says.Experts remind people to admire eagles from a distance,as troubling them harms their recovery. 32.What is the third paragraph mainly about? A.The history of the bald eagle. B.The success of conservation efforts. C.The current situation of bald eagles. D.The challenges faced by bald eagles. 33.How does Kathy Clark feel about bald eagles living in crowded New Jersey towns? A.She is surprised by their ability to adapt. B.She worries they will trouble human life 【高二第二次月考·英语试题第5页（共8页）】 26-T-331B C.She thinks they are a danger to local pets.
