B One of the world's rarest birds,the greater adjutant stork ()known locally as the Hargila was once considered "disease carrier"and "ugly"by tha villagers in Assam who would destroy their nests.Dr Purnima Devi Barman,an Indian wildlife biologist,has been committed to protecting the endangered birds and changing the opinion of villagers. .Barman's love of animals started at age five while she lived with her grandparents by the Brahmaputra River, where she often encountered all sorts of birds coming to the fields and wetlands. Recalling one of the moments that changed her life,Barman said that while she was doing her PhD paper on the greater adjutant stork,she got a call telling her that a villager had cut the nest-tree of adjutant storks and nine 高二年级（英语）第4页共12页 chicks fell down.When she communicated with the villager and his neighbours,she was shouted at and laughed at. "The villnger was so angry at me for rescuing the birds.One of his neighbours said that we cannot keep it in our backyard.It makes our area very dirty and smelly',"Barman recalled.But with her tireless effort,she managed to change his views and the villager joined her in protecting the birds "After that,I experienced the power of the community and decided to make use of it for stork conservation," Barman added.She then started the Hargila Army of villagers,especially the network of thousands of families across villages who trawel door to door with-her in spreading awarencss and educating people about stork conservation "Initially women hesitated to come out and volunteer.But one day,I organized a cooking contest and scores of people participated and that's how all our gatherings revolved (around stork conservation and restoring their ecosystem.Slowly and gradually,we increased the network,and now we are saving many other endangered species,”Barman said. 24.What has led to the decrease of the storks in Assam?

C People's tendency to follow trends,especially on social media-even when they look silly or take risks doing so-is definitely a common phenomenon.What does psychology say about trend following-and is there a way to break free from the desire to follow the newest craze? According to Psychologist Pamela B.Rutledge,following trends isn't a sign of character weakness or mental instability.Rather,it is an entirely natural behavior embedded (in humanity's fundamental need to belong to 高二年级（英语)第5页共12页 a social group and establish connections with others. Historically,following trends was crucial for our survival.Archaeologists have uncovered evidence that early humans worked together to transport stone tools over long distances about two million years ago in what is now Kenya-cooperation that allowed them to survive in a severe environment.And though following a trend on social media isn't exactly as important as outrunning a saber-toothed tiger,human evolution (has programmed our brains to be receptive to social signals. Another contributing factor the social cognition()-the processes that determine what we notice and how we respond to others-largely takes place in the parts of the brain that oversee sight,patter recognition, decision-making,and similar functions."Thanks to our humans'complex cognitive systems,our brains are really good at identifying patters and stimulating bebavior that communicates our social status.As a result,you can use almost anything to signal your membership or association with a social group.Giving off the right social signals lets others know which group you belong to or want to engage with-and those signals are monitored and interpreted by others.Referred to as identity signaling,these behaviors can range from posting a comment online to selecting a brand of clothing,"said Rutledge. Almost everyone follows trends in social groups,without exception.However,teenagers,and young adults are especially likely to follow trends,including risky ones,due to their heightened desire for acceptance and belonging among peers.Therefore,it's of great significance to guide them during their joumey towards maturity. 28.What does Rutledge think of following trends? A.Changeable.B.Reasonable. C.Odd. D.Risky. 29.Why did early humans prefer to follow trends? A.To remove mental weakness. B.To show their social status. C.To live through difficulties. D.To expand their population. 30.What is the hidden meaning of identty'signaling. A.Good taste in fashion. B.Blind pursuit of novelty. C.Atrue reflection of personality. D.Akeen thirst for belonging. 31.What will the follow-up paragraph most probably talk about? A.Tips on helping kids embracing trends sensibly. B.Insights into forthcoming trends in the future. C.Parental guidance in kids'future jobs. D.Psychology behind trend adoption. 高二年级（英语）第6页共12页 D People today are much cleverer than in previous generations.A study of 72 countries found that average ids rose by 2.2 points per decade from 1948 to 2020,a phenomenon known as the"Flynn effect,"named after the scientist James Flymn who first identified it.Given that it took millions of years for the brain to evolve,how could it improve so rapidly? The answer lies in better nutrition and mental stimulation.Just as muscles need food and exercise,the brain require proper nutrients and activity for development.Today's children are less likely to be malnourished and more likely to attend schooL In wealthy countries,the Flymn effect has largely stabilized,while many children in poorer countries still lack enough nutrition to reach their cognitive()potential.Globally,22%of children under five -about 150 million-are malnourished,and half suffer firm mieronutrient short ages,which can lead to a loss of up to 15 id points. Several factors hinder proper nutrition,including war and disease,which prevent families from accessing food and lead to nutrient shortages.Poverty is a significant issue,but not the only cause;UNICEF data shows that many malnourished children come from non-poor families,highlighting the impact of poor eating habits and cultural practice.For instance,in patriarchal societies,pregnant women may face iron short ages due to unequal food distribution. Effective strategies include enriching basic foods with micronutrients like iron and zinc ()which is a cost-effective way to make a big difference.Another method is providing small cash sums to families with infants or pregnant mothers.Still,more research is needed to address these issues.For example,scientists in Bangladesh are exploring ways to promote beneficial gut bacteria among women in local poor areas.Researchers in Africa are working on treating anemia (without worsening malaria.Some argue that human intelligence will matter less as we rely more on AI,but as Harvard's Steven Pinker notes,human intelligence is a vital"tail wind"helping us adapt to w challengers.Investing in the next generation's nutrition is not just right;it is essential. 32.What does"Flynn effect"refer to? A.Intelligence can be passed down. B.Nutrition has an impact on id. C.Average ids change over time. D.Average ids go up per decade. 33.Which can replac the underlined word"hinder"in paragraph 3? A.Promote. B.Block C.Balance. D.Involve. 34.What does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph? A.More efforts are needed. B.AI affects human greatly. 高二年级（英语)第7页共12页 C.Nutrition is less important. D.Effective strategies are adopted. 35.Which would be the suitable title for the passage? A.AI as Human id B.IQ Changes Over Time C.Nutrition for Smarter Kids D.challenge for Kids'Growth 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Bveryone has experienced a range of emotions:both positive and negative.Unfortunately,people wish to control their emotions but end up being controlled by the same emotions.Someone might get upset,nervous and end up causing more self-destruction or harm.36 Ber mnstance,feeling angry is one that something wrong is happening.Below we'll explore how to control yuar emotions. Acknowledge your emotions.The first step in dealing with your emotions is to acknowledge your current feelings about the situation.3It's essential to understand if you're overreacting to a problem so that you can take steps to start the emotion management process.Acknowledging your feelings will help you understand what you're dealing with right now to get the best outcomes. 38 Sometimes,your emotions can come from factors like life hardships,stress,being alone,or even not getting enough deep sleep.All these factors have a direct link with human emotions.Therefore,it's essential to practice self-care ideas as a priority for your bverall well being.For instance,having right-brain activities like drawing,playing music,or other activities can also help silence negative thoughts. Give yourself space.Although being alone too often isn't a good idea for people trying to manage their emotions,it's helpful for others.Therefore,you should also give yourself some pce sometimes. Giving yourself space also means that you'll have enough time for conceptualizing your actual feeling ed start the process of trying to manage them slowly.
