When I bought a house in Portland four years ago, I immediately began designing my dream garden, intending to remove the weeds and plant some vegetables or long-lasting flowers. I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery.
Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had.
The challenge before me was to revive the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns; prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers; integrating crops, trees and livestock; and sheltering soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work.
I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I made a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities.
In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white fungal mycelium (真菌菌丝).
Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard - it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die.
24. What was the soil problem in the author’s garden?
A. Wet and salty. B. Poor and stony.
C. Dry and sandy. D. Acidic and weedy.
25. What was the focus of the author’s gardening methods?
A. Limiting plant variety. B. Adopting a high-tech approach.
C. Giving more intervention. D. Creating a sustainable environment.
26 Why does the author mention the replanting in May?
A. To introduce different species. B. To prove the garden shelters insects.
C. To show the soil has come to life. D. To explain the transplanting process.
27. What is conveyed in the last paragraph?
A. Soil has a soul. B. Life is well defined.
C. Life has complexity. D. Soil is the source of life.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者改造花园土壤的过程,通过可持续方法恢复土壤生机,并领悟到土壤如同有生命的存在。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. (然而,我很快发现土壤贫瘠,粘土多,到处都是石头。)”可知,作者花园里的土壤问题是贫瘠且多石的。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. (现代农业的两个核心原则可以指导这一转变:尽量减少对土壤的干扰并强调生物多样性。)”以及后续描写作者尝试应用这些方法,包括让植物自然生长和分解,引入不同的植物和恢复其生态群落等,可推断出作者园艺方法的重点是创造一个可持续的环境。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white fungal mycelium (真菌菌丝). (五月份,我决定移栽一株开花的植物。当我把这株植物挖出来时,各种各样的生命出现了。蚯蚓从根部悬垂下来,一只长腿蜘蛛急忙寻找遮蔽处。在植物下方,我还注意到了细小的白色真菌菌丝。)”以及最后一段中“Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard - it completely changed the way I think about soil. (我用手指划过土壤,比以往任何时候都更清楚地意识到,我改变的不仅仅是我的院子——它完全改变了我对土壤的看法。)”可推知,作者提到五月的重新种植是为了展示土壤已经恢复了活力。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die. (它不仅仅是一种承载生命的介质,而是一个独立的生命体。尽管科学界对生命的定义尚未达成一致,但教科书强调了一些广泛用于区分生物与非生物的标准。土壤符合其中的许多标准:它具有高度有序的结构,具备积极自我保护的能力,能够生长,能够呼吸,并且也可能会死亡。)”可知,最后一段传达的是“土壤有灵魂”的意思。故选A。
C
According to an idea called the “inflationary (暴胀的) multiverse”, the universe has been constantly expanding, which would have created a countless number of other universes. Collectively, these universal islands form what scientists call a “multiverse”. However, other universes may lie beyond our scientific reach, physically and philosophically. Consequently, the methodologies by which physicists might validate (验证) the multiverse and whether such validation is even possible remain unresolved inquiries.
In science, hypotheses (假说) are used to propose explanations, but from hypotheses to theories, validation of predictions is essential to see whether initial assumptions are supported or disproved. Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli says, “It is hard to write theories that survive the proof of reality. Few survive thanks to a basic idea: Do not trust your fancies. Keep only the ideas that can be tested.” Rovelli adds, “Today many physicists are wasting time trying to guess and jumping to conclusions. This approach has never worked before, and it is not working now. The multiverse might be one of those wild guesses.”
Now, physicists are debating whether that problem moves the multiverse from physics to metaphysics (玄学), from the world of science to that of philosophy. Philosopher Richard Dawid believes scientists could support the multiverse hypotheses without actually finding physical support. “If we have a theory that seems to work, and have come up with nothing that works better, chances are our idea is right,” he says. Not everyone is so cheerful, though. Sabine Hossenfelder, another theoretical physicist, thinks “Without making contact with observation, a theory isn’t part of the natural sciences, and not physics.”
Some supporters of the multiverse claim they have found physical evidence. Andrei Linde insists “Our universe seems fine-tuned to be favourable to life, with a four-dimensional space in which we can live. It is certain that in an endlessly inflating multiverse, one of the universes should turn out like ours. Each universe can have different physical laws and fundamentals. Given limitless changes, a universe on which humans can be born will be born. The multiverse actually explains why we’re here. And our existence, therefore, helps explain why the multiverse is plausible.”
Just as Einstein’s theory of general relativity could only be confirmed recently with a billion-dollar instrument called LIGO, scientists may eventually discover more direct evidence of the multiverse. So far, all of science has relied on testability, but those tests take time, and most theoreticians want to wait it out. They are not ready to shelve an idea like the multiverse — which could actually be the answer to life, the universe and everything — until and unless they can prove to themselves it doesn’t exist. And that day may never come.
28. What does Carlo Rovelli think of the multiverse?
A. It is a crazy idea. B. It can be tested.
C. It is widely accepted. D. It comes from reality.
29. What does the underlined word “plausible” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Fascinating. B. Complex. C. Essential. D. Credible.
30. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Testing the multiverse theory is a waste of time.
B. The multiverse theory will be confirmed one day.
C. Einstein’s theory of relativity is the answer to life.
D. The multiverse research has made a breakthrough.
31. What is the structure of this passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了多元宇宙理论的提出、争议及其可能的科学验证途径,强调其对科学与哲学的影响。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli says, ‘It is hard to write theories that survive the proof of reality. Few survive thanks to a basic idea: Do not trust your fancies. Keep only the ideas that can be tested.’ Rovelli adds, ‘Today many physicists are wasting time trying to guess and jumping to conclusions. This approach has never worked before, and it is not working now. The multiverse might be one of those wild guesses.’(理论物理学家Carlo Rovelli说:‘提出能够经受住现实验证的理论是非常困难的。很少有理论能够幸存下来,这得益于一个基本的理念:不要相信你的幻想。只保留可以被检验的想法。’Rovelli补充道:‘如今,许多物理学家都在浪费时间试图猜测并急于下结论。这种方法以前从未奏效,现在也行不通。多元宇宙可能是那些疯狂的猜测之一’)”可知,理论物理学家Carlo Rovelli认为“多元宇宙”是一个难以通过现实验证的理论,很多物理学家都在浪费时间猜测并急于下结论,而多元宇宙可能就是这些疯狂猜测中的一个。因此,他认为多元宇宙是一个疯狂的想法。故选A。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中Andrei Linde的观点“It is certain that in an endlessly inflating multiverse, one of the universes should turn out like ours. Each universe can have different physical laws and fundamentals. Given limitless changes, a universe on which humans can be born will be born. The multiverse actually explains why we’re here. And our existence, therefore, helps explain why the multiverse is plausible.(在一个无限膨胀的多元宇宙中,可以肯定的是,其中一个宇宙应该会与我们的宇宙相似。每个宇宙都可以拥有不同的物理定律和基本法则。在无限变化中,一个能够诞生人类的宇宙终将诞生。多元宇宙实际上解释了为什么我们会在这里。因此,我们的存在反过来也有助于解释为什么多元宇宙论是plausible)”可知,多元宇宙的支持者认为多元宇宙实际上解释了为什么我们在这里,而我们的存在也帮助解释了为什么多元宇宙是合理的,“plausible”应表示“可信的、合理的”,与D选项“credible(可信的)”意思相近。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Just as Einstein’s theory of general relativity could only be confirmed recently with a billion-dollar instrument called LIGO, scientists may eventually discover more direct evidence of the multiverse. So far, all of science has relied on testability, but those tests take time, and most theoreticians want to wait it out. They are not ready to shelve an idea like the multiverse — which could actually be the answer to life, the universe and everything — until and unless they can prove to themselves it doesn’t exist. And that day may never come.(正如爱因斯坦广义相对论直到最近才通过名为LIGO的耗资数十亿美元的仪器得到证实一样,科学家们最终也可能会发现多元宇宙更为直接的证据。迄今为止,所有科学都依赖于可验证性,但这些验证需要时间,而大多数理论家都愿意等待。他们不会轻易放弃像多元宇宙这样的想法——这实际上可能是生命、宇宙以及万物的答案——除非他们自己能够证明它不存在。而那一天可能永远不会到来)”可推知,作者认为多元宇宙理论总有一天会得到证实。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章第一段介绍了多元宇宙理论;第二段介绍了一些物理学家对多元宇宙理论的看法,认为它可能是一个疯狂的猜测;第三段介绍了哲学家和科学家对多元宇宙理论的不同看法;第四段介绍了一些多元宇宙理论的支持者及其观点;最后一段作者认为多元宇宙理论总有一天会得到证实。由此可知,文章是按照“提出观点——正反论证——得出结论”的结构来展开的,即“总—分—总”的结构。结合选项,D项符合文章结构。故选D。
D
As we researchers predicted, we found that picky eaters scored worst on our tests of food recognition: Food neophobia (食物新奇恐惧症) is negatively related to food recognition ability.
While we were publishing our findings, scientists were debating new findings about how the brain reacts to food and color. Different research groups had identified brain areas in the visual system that responded preferentially to images of food. For instance, looking at a bowl of noodles would activate these brain areas, but not looking at a pile of string. The scientific disagreement was about what it meant to identify a selectivity for food in brain areas already known for their responsiveness to color.
We repeated our initial study with gray-scale images of food. The result showed without color, people unsurprisingly made more errors, mistaking different dishes as the same, but the pattern of variation across people was otherwise unchanged. Those with a higher general visual ability did better with food. We also found one effect of removing color: Food neophobia was no longer related to food recognition ability. It was as if whatever advantage the adventurous eaters had gained over picky ones was all dependent on color.
We then made an entirely new prediction: Would people with color blindness be less food neophobic than those with normal color perception? Because the colorblind experience food in a restricted range of color, certain signals that raise flags about freshness, safety, or otherwise drive anxiety about novel food could be limited.
We invited participants online, based on how they answered one question about color blindness buried in a long screening questionnaire. The survey suggested colorblind people were indeed less food neophobic than the non-colorblind. Seeing the world with a narrow color range seems to ease an emotion-based resistance to novel foods.
Our findings pave the way for addressing extreme cases of food neophobia. As researchers learn more about the complicated relevance between color perception and food, we might develop targeted interventions to improve dietary habits.
32. Which can activate the specific brain areas more easily?
A. A piece of cake. B. A pair of shoes.
C. A series of books. D. A pile of string.
33. What happened when color was removed from food images?
A. Mistakes were on the rise. B. Food neophobia worsened.
C. Recognition accuracy improved. D. Adventurous eaters were at an advantage.
34 What did the survey conclude about colorblind people?
A. They are less familiar with food types.
B. They are more open to nutritious foods.
C. They are less likely to resist new foods.
D. They are more worried about food safety.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Supporting evidence for the research results.
B. Potential application of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要探讨了人们对食物识别能力的差异,以及这种差异与人们对新食物的态度(食物新奇恐惧症)的关系。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Different research groups had identified brain areas in the visual system that responded preferentially to images of food. For instance, looking at a bowl of noodles would activate these brain areas, but not looking at a pile of string.(不同的研究小组已经确定了视觉系统中对食物图像有优先反应的大脑区域。例如,看着一碗面条会激活这些大脑区域,但看着一堆绳子就不会)”可知,食物更容易激活大脑的特定区域,故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The result showed without color, people unsurprisingly made more errors, mistaking different dishes as the same(结果显示,在没有颜色的情况下,人们不出所料地犯了更多的错误,把不同的菜误认为是一样的)”可知,食物图片没有颜色时人们会犯更多的错误,故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The survey suggested colorblind people were indeed less food neophobic than the non-colorblind.(调查显示,色盲的人确实比非色盲的人更少害怕新食物)”可知,色盲的人对新食物没有那么抗拒,故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Our findings pave the way for addressing extreme cases of food neophobia. As researchers learn more about the complicated relevance between color perception and food, we might develop targeted interventions to improve dietary habits.(我们的发现为解决新食物恐惧症的极端案例铺平了道路。随着研究人员更多地了解颜色感知和食物之间的复杂关联,我们可能会开发出有针对性的干预措施来改善饮食习惯)”可知,本段主要是关于研究成果的潜在应用,故选B。

Online shopping often involves endless options and dizzying discounts. A single search for running shoes can produce hundreds of results. ____36____ What if there is a tool capable of hunting for the best prices and making sure your purchases arrive on time?
The new innovation in artificial intelligence is AI agents. They are capable of autonomous reasoning and multistep problem-solving. ____37____ Imagine this: You remind AI to find a winter coat under $200 that’s highly rated and will arrive by Sunday. In seconds, it scans websites, compares prices, checks reviews, confirms availability and places the order, all while you go about your day.
Unlike traditional recommendation engines, AI agents learn your preferences and handle tasks autonomously. The agents are built with machine learning and natural language processing. They can learn from their interactions with users and become smarter. Looking ahead, AI agents are likely to not only master personal shopping needs but also negotiate directly with corporate AI systems. ____38____
Consumers today are focused on value, looking for deals and comparing prices across platforms. ____39____ But can AI truly learn your preferences? A recent study using the GPT-4.0 model achieved 85% accuracy in copying the thoughts and behaviors of over 1,000 people after they interacted with the AI for just two hours, which is really a breakthrough.
____40____ AI systems require extensive access to personal data, shopping history and financial information. This level of access increases the risk of misuse and unauthorized sharing.
A. They can make purchases without being instructed.
B. However, there’s also a risk of being addicted to AI agents.
C. The process results in tired eyes and decision-making challenges.
D. They not only suggest what you might like, but also act on your behalf.
E. Having an assistant perform these tasks could be a remarkable time saver.
F. While offering significant benefits, AI agents also raise critical privacy concerns.
G. They will be able to book tailored experiences and handle payments across platforms.
【答案】36. C 37. D 38. G 39. E 40. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了人工智能代理在购物领域的应用。他们能够自主学习用户偏好并完成诸如搜索商品、比较价格、下单等复杂任务,为用户节省时间和精力。
【36题详解】
上文“Online shopping often involves endless options and dizzying discounts. A single search for running shoes can produce hundreds of results.(网上购物通常涉及无穷无尽的选择和令人眼花缭乱的折扣。对跑鞋的一次搜索可能会产生数百个结果)”提到网购时搜索商品会面临大量结果,下文“What if there is a tool capable of hunting for the best prices and making sure your purchases arrive on time?(如果有一种工具能帮你找到最优惠的价格,并确保你买的东西准时到达会怎么样?)”提到解决问题的工具,故本空应进一步说明网购问题导致的后果,为下文提到的工具做铺垫。C项“这个过程会导致眼睛疲劳和决策困难”符合语境。故选C。
【37题详解】
上文“They are capable of autonomous reasoning and multistep problem-solving.(他们有自主推理和多步骤解决问题的能力)”是描述人工智能代理的优点,D项“他们不仅建议你可能喜欢什么,而且还代表你采取行动”也是描述其优点,且呼应下文“In seconds, it scans websites, compares prices, checks reviews, confirms availability and places the order, all while you go about your day.(在几秒钟内,它就可以扫描网站,比较价格,检查评论,确认可用性并下订单,而你可以继续你的一天)”,故选D。
【38题详解】
上文“Looking ahead, AI agents are likely to not only master personal shopping needs but also negotiate directly with corporate AI systems.(展望未来,人工智能代理不仅可能掌握个人购物需求,还可能直接与企业人工智能系统进行谈判)”是展望人工智能代理未来会具备的能力,G项“他们将能够预订量身定制的体验,并处理跨平台支付”继续上文话题并进一步阐述,故选G。
【39题详解】
上文“Consumers today are focused on value, looking for deals and comparing prices across platforms.(如今的消费者关注的是价值,他们会在各个平台上寻找交易和比较价格)”是描述消费者的行为,下文“But can AI truly learn your preferences? A recent study using the GPT-4.0 model achieved 85% accuracy in copying the thoughts and behaviors of over 1,000 people after they interacted with the AI for just two hours, which is really a breakthrough.(但人工智能真的能了解你的喜好吗?最近的一项研究使用GPT-4.0模型,在1000多人与人工智能互动两个小时后,复制他们的思想和行为的准确率达到了85%,这确实是一个突破)”提到人工智能是否能真正解消费者的喜好,复制其思想和行为,故空处应提及人工智能代替消费者进行寻找、比价等行为,E项“让一个助手来完成这些任务可以节省大量的时间”符合语境,故选E。
【40题详解】
根据下文“AI systems require extensive access to personal data, shopping history and financial information. This level of access increases the risk of misuse and unauthorized sharing.(人工智能系统需要广泛访问个人数据、购物历史和财务信息。这种级别的访问增加了滥用和未经授权共享的风险)”可知,本段是关于人工智能引发的泄露个人信息的风险,F项“在提供重大好处的同时,人工智能代理也引发了关键的隐私问题”符合语境,故选F。

【答案】Dear Jim,
I’m thrilled to hear that you’re going to enter the Spring Festival Image Exhibition. I would like to give some advice.
It’s a good idea to take pictures of dragon and lion dances in Chinatown. These dances, performed to drive away evil spirits and welcome in prosperous times, offer a glimpse into the festive atmosphere of Spring Festival. Alternatively, you can consider capturing a scene of family members making jiaozi together. Nothing is better at displaying the essence of Spring Festival — family reunions. I’m confident that these pictures will showcase how well Chinese culture has been embraced and spread overseas.
Hope you can get some inspiration! Feel free to ask me if you need further help.
Yours,
Li Hua

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a lively city, there was a small bookstore hidden between two tall buildings. It wasn’t the most attractive place, but it had an undeniable charm. The owner, David, had inherited (继承) the store from his grandfather. Every day, he opened its creaky (吱嘎的) doors and greeted his customers with a smile, even though his heart was heavy.
David had been struggling with his business for months. Online stores had taken over the market, and fewer people walked into his store. He had always believed in the magic of physical books, but with bills piling up and his savings running low, he was beginning to lose hope.
One rainy afternoon, as David sat behind the counter, staring at the closed sign on the door, a young woman entered. Her name was Sophie, and she was new to the city. She had heard about the bookstore from a friend and decided to check it out.
Sophie wandered through the passages, running her fingers along the spines of the books. There was something warm and comforting about the place — despite its worn-out shelves and faded sign outside. After a while, she picked up a book on gardening — a topic she had recently become passionate about — and brought it to the counter. David greeted her, still burdened by his worries.
“You seem like you’re really into gardening,” he said softly.
Sophie smiled. “Yes, it’s been such a peaceful escape for me lately.”
David rang up the book and said, “I hope it helps you grow your garden. Plants are like people. They need care, but they can really bloom if you give them the right environment.”
Before leaving with the book, Sophie turned to him. “There’s something special about this place. I hope you keep it open for a long time.”
David watched as she stepped out into the rain, her smile lingering (萦绕) in his mind. That night, for the first time in weeks, he didn’t feel the heavy weight of worry. Instead, he thought about Sophie’s words. Maybe it wasn’t about making the store bigger or more popular. Maybe it was about creating an environment where people felt welcomed — and that was enough to keep going.
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。
The next day, David decided to make a change.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next day, David decided to make a change. He started hosting weekly book clubs, inviting people to share their love for books and stories. He added a cozy corner for people to relax, drink tea, and talk. Slowly, more people began to come, and the bookstore regained some of its old charm. But more importantly, David rediscovered the joy of simply sharing what he loved with others. He found himself looking forward to each new interaction, eager to connect with people who shared his passions. It wasn’t just about selling books anymore — it was about creating a space where people could escape, share, and feel seen.
Months later, David received a letter from Sophie. In the letter, Sophie thanked him for the impact the bookstore had on her life. She wrote, “Your bookstore isn’t just a place to buy books. It’s a place where people find comfort and connection. Thank you for keeping it open.” David smiled as he read the letter, He had never imagined that something as simple as a smile and a small conversation could change the course of his life. Sophie’s message reminded him of something important: the power of a smile, a kind word, and a place where people felt they belonged.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了一个小型书店老板David在经营困境中,因一位新顾客Sophie的到访而重拾希望的故事。David的书店因网络书店的冲击而生意惨淡,他面临着经济压力和对实体书籍未来的担忧。然而,Sophie的出现,她对书店的喜爱以及对园艺的热情,让David意识到书店的魅力不仅在于书籍本身,更在于为顾客提供一个温暖、受欢迎的环境。这次邂逅让David重新审视了书店的意义,也让他重新燃起了对经营书店的希望。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“第二天,David决定做出改变。”可知,第一段可描写具体的改变有哪些以及改变带来的积极影响。

When I bought a house in Portland four years ago I immediately began designing my dream garden, intending to remove the weeds and plant some vegetables or long-lasting flowers. I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery.
Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had.
The challenge before me was to revive the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns; prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers; integrating crops, trees and livestock; and sheltering soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work.
I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I made a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities.
In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white fungal mycelium (真菌菌丝).
Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard - it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die.
24. What was the soil problem in the author’s garden?
A. Wet and salty. B. Poor and stony.
C. Dry and sandy. D. Acidic and weedy.
25. What was the focus of the author’s gardening methods?
A. Limiting plant variety. B. Adopting a high-tech approach.
C. Giving more intervention. D. Creating a sustainable environment.
26. Why does the author mention the replanting in May?
A. To introduce different species. B. To prove the garden shelters insects.
C. To show the soil has come to life. D. To explain the transplanting process.
27. What is conveyed in the last paragraph?
A. Soil has a soul. B. Life is well defined.
C. Life has complexity. D. Soil is the source of life.
C
According to an idea called the “inflationary (暴胀的) multiverse”, the universe has been constantly expanding, which would have created a countless number of other universes. Collectively, these universal islands form what scientists call a “multiverse”. However, other universes may lie beyond our scientific reach, physically and philosophically. Consequently, the methodologies by which physicists might validate (验证) the multiverse and whether such validation is even possible remain unresolved inquiries.
In science, hypotheses (假说) are used to propose explanations, but from hypotheses to theories, validation of predictions is essential to see whether initial assumptions are supported or disproved. Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli says, “It is hard to write theories that survive the proof of reality. Few survive thanks to a basic idea: Do not trust your fancies. Keep only the ideas that can be tested.” Rovelli adds, “Today many physicists are wasting time trying to guess and jumping to conclusions. This approach has never worked before, and it is not working now. The multiverse might be one of those wild guesses.”
Now, physicists are debating whether that problem moves the multiverse from physics to metaphysics (玄学), from the world of science to that of philosophy. Philosopher Richard Dawid believes scientists could support the multiverse hypotheses without actually finding physical support. “If we have a theory that seems to work, and have come up with nothing that works better, chances are our idea is right,” he says. Not everyone is so cheerful, though. Sabine Hossenfelder, another theoretical physicist, thinks “Without making contact with observation, a theory isn’t part of the natural sciences, and not physics.”
Some supporters of the multiverse claim they have found physical evidence. Andrei Linde insists “Our universe seems fine-tuned to be favourable to life, with a four-dimensional space in which we can live. It is certain that in an endlessly inflating multiverse, one of the universes should turn out like ours. Each universe can have different physical laws and fundamentals. Given limitless changes, a universe on which humans can be born will be born. The multiverse actually explains why we’re here. And our existence, therefore, helps explain why the multiverse is plausible.”
Just as Einstein’s theory of general relativity could only be confirmed recently with a billion-dollar instrument called LIGO, scientists may eventually discover more direct evidence of the multiverse. So far, all of science has relied on testability, but those tests take time, and most theoreticians want to wait it out. They are not ready to shelve an idea like the multiverse — which could actually be the answer to life, the universe and everything — until and unless they can prove to themselves it doesn’t exist. And that day may never come.
28. What does Carlo Rovelli think of the multiverse?
A. It is a crazy idea. B. It can be tested.
C. It is widely accepted. D. It comes from reality.
29. What does the underlined word “plausible” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Fascinating. B. Complex. C. Essential. D. Credible.
30. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Testing the multiverse theory is a waste of time.
B. The multiverse theory will be confirmed one day.
C. Einstein’s theory of relativity is the answer to life.
D. The multiverse research has made a breakthrough.
31. What is the structure of this passage?
A. B. C. D.
D
As we researchers predicted, we found that picky eaters scored worst on our tests of food recognition: Food neophobia (食物新奇恐惧症) is negatively related to food recognition ability.
While we were publishing our findings, scientists were debating new findings about how the brain reacts to food and color. Different research groups had identified brain areas in the visual system that responded preferentially to images of food. For instance, looking at a bowl of noodles would activate these brain areas, but not looking at a pile of string. The scientific disagreement was about what it meant to identify a selectivity for food in brain areas already known for their responsiveness to color.
We repeated our initial study with gray-scale images of food. The result showed without color, people unsurprisingly made more errors, mistaking different dishes as the same, but the pattern of variation across people was otherwise unchanged. Those with a higher general visual ability did better with food. We also found one effect of removing color: Food neophobia was no longer related to food recognition ability. It was as if whatever advantage the adventurous eaters had gained over picky ones was all dependent on color.
We then made an entirely new prediction: Would people with color blindness be less food neophobic than those with normal color perception? Because the colorblind experience food in a restricted range of color, certain signals that raise flags about freshness, safety, or otherwise drive anxiety about novel food could be limited.
We invited participants online, based on how they answered one question about color blindness buried in a long screening questionnaire. The survey suggested colorblind people were indeed less food neophobic than the non-colorblind. Seeing the world with a narrow color range seems to ease an emotion-based resistance to novel foods.
Our findings pave the way for addressing extreme cases of food neophobia. As researchers learn more about the complicated relevance between color perception and food, we might develop targeted interventions to improve dietary habits.
32. Which can activate the specific brain areas more easily?
A. A piece of cake. B. A pair of shoes.
C. A series of books. D. A pile of string.
33. What happened when color was removed from food images?
A. Mistakes were on the rise. B. Food neophobia worsened.
C. Recognition accuracy improved. D. Adventurous eaters were at an advantage.
34. What did the survey conclude about colorblind people?
A. They are less familiar with food types.
B. They are more open to nutritious foods.
C. They are less likely to resist new foods.
D. They are more worried about food safety.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Supporting evidence for the research results.
B. Potential application of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.

In a lively city, there was a small bookstore hidden between two tall buildings. It wasn’t the most attractive place, but it had an undeniable charm. The owner, David, had inherited (继承) the store from his grandfather. Every day, he opened its creaky (吱嘎的) doors and greeted his customers with a smile, even though his heart was heavy.
David had been struggling with his business for months. Online stores had taken over the market, and fewer people walked into his store. He had always believed in the magic of physical books, but with bills piling up and his savings running low, he was beginning to lose hope.
One rainy afternoon, as David sat behind the counter, staring at the closed sign on the door, a young woman entered. Her name was Sophie, and she was new to the city. She had heard about the bookstore from a friend and decided to check it out.
Sophie wandered through the passages, running her fingers along the spines of the books. There was something warm and comforting about the place — despite its worn-out shelves and faded sign outside. After a while, she picked up a book on gardening — a topic she had recently become passionate about — and brought it to the counter. David greeted her, still burdened by his worries.
“You seem like you’re really into gardening” he said softly.
Sophie smiled. “Yes, it’s been such a peaceful escape for me lately.”
David rang up the book and said, “I hope it helps you grow your garden. Plants are like people. They need care, but they can really bloom if you give them the right environment.”
Before leaving with the book, Sophie turned to him. “There’s something special about this place. I hope you keep it open for a long time.”
David watched as she stepped out into the rain, her smile lingering (萦绕) in his mind. That night, for the first time in weeks, he didn’t feel the heavy weight of worry. Instead, he thought about Sophie’s words. Maybe it wasn’t about making the store bigger or more popular. Maybe it was about creating an environment where people felt welcomed — and that was enough to keep going.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

The next day, David decided to make a change.
