D.Engaging in engineering activities B There is a famous story about how Walt Disney was inspired to build Disneyland.The story goes that during an afteroon visit to Griffith Park located near the Burbank Studios,Walt took a seat while his two young daughters rode the merry-go-round.Walt thought there should be a place where both children and their parents could enjoy spending some time together in an environment that would be both entertaining and pleasing to the eye,so with this thought came the idea for Disneyland. Walt's original plan was to build an eight-acre park located near the Burbank Studios that would be a place for his employees and their families.Those plans were put on hold()because of the start of World War II.By 1952,Walt had created a special department to build the park. Finally in 1953,the first steps in building the park happened when Walt hired the Stanford Research Institute to make a survey to determine the best possible location for the future park. Considering population growth and the future freeway construction,they finally found a location in Anaheim and 160 acres of land were bought for the site of the new park. The building of the park was very expensive and to create funding for the project Walt developed the idea of the "Walt Disney's Disneyland"television show.It turned out to be a marvelous idea-not only gaining the money to build the park but also presenting the park to the American public. Construction officially began on July21,1954,and it was an ambitious(野心勃勃的) building schedule of less than one year to complete the new park for the projected opening day. Walt watched over the park's construction and progress continued with just a few minor hold-ups. Finally,the park was ready for the Opening Day on July 17,1955. 24.What inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland? A.The special design of Griffith Park. B.A trip to a park with his daughters. C.Requests from his family and employees. D.The idea to build a park for his daughters. 25.What is mainly considered in choosing the location of Disneyland? A.Walt Disney's personal preference. B.The natural environment. C.The advice of the public. D.Local traffic. 26.What does the underlined word "marvelous"in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Funny. B.Wild. C.Wonderful. D.Imaginative. 27.What can we learn about the construction process? A.It was smooth generally. B.It was affected by World WarⅡ， C.It was completed later than expected. D.It was influenced by a shortage of money. @ Readers may be familiar with the humorous idea that humans are only the third-cleverest species on Earth after mice and dolphins.But perhaps Douglas Adams should have included dolphins'cetacean ()cousins.In a paper just published in Open Mind,CETI researchers describe a strikingly human-like feature in whale communication.Sperm whales() communicate using a series of clicks researchers call "codas",which look a lot like vowels ( in human languages. For linguists(语言学家)，vowels are characterized by the free flow of air through a vibrating vocal tract(声道).In contrast,consonants(辅音)involve disruptions of the airflow.A vowel's basic pitch(technically called F0)is determined by the speaker's sex and body size.But by moving tongue and lips we shape the sound into higher-pitched "formants"(F1,F2,F3,etc.) Whether we hear an"ah"or an "ee"depends on the relationship between these formants. To humans,spem-whale codas(尾音)do not sound like pitches(音调)at all;the clicks are much too infrequent and irregular.The clicks become a continuous tone only when they occur 20 to 40 times per second.But when the whales'silences were removed in software,the researchers could consider them as pitches nevertheless,and look more closely at their other qualities. The next step was taken with the help of artificial intelligence(AI).The researchers used an Al system trained to learn human language to examine the codas.Gasper Begus,a linguist at the University of California and the study's lead author,says that the AI led them to study the pitch patterns of the clicks-ones that work like human vowel sounds. Sure enough,the whale codas contained two sound patterns resembling those in the F1 and F2 formants of human vowels,but at a much lower pitch.Based on this resemblance,the researchers called them the a-coda and i-coda vowels.They even found that whales could produce diphthongs(双元音)一two vowels gliding quickly from one to another,.like the ah--ee sound in English words like "ride"and "time".The whales do all this often in what researchers call“conversations'”. Exactly what the whales may be saying to each other remains unknown -although working that out is CETI's eventual goal.That will require a large body of vocalizations to study, as well as an equally big number of observations of how the animals behave and interact with each other. 28.Why does the author refer to Douglas Adams's joke about mice,dolphins and humans? A.To illustrate a point B.To give an example C.To make a comparison D.To introduce a topic 29.What does the word "disruptions"underlined in paragraph 2 mean? A.complete stops B.breaks in flow C.increases in speed D.extra energy 30.What do we know about sperm whales from the passage? A.They communicate in quite a similar way to humans. B.They produce continuous clicks that sound like pitches C.They create click patterns resembling human vowels. D.They could produce diphthongs likeride"and"time". 31.What can we infer about the CETI researchers from the last paragraph? A.They have paid more attention to the whales'vocalizations than to their behaviors. B.They have uncovered the nature of the whales'social behaviors and interactions. C.They will decode the whales'calls by observing their behaviors and interactions. D.They will carry out more research to better understand the whales'conversations. D As the world's appetite for electronic devices grows ever bigger,e-waste is raising alarms. According to a UN report,62 million tons of e-waste was generated in 2022,enough to fill 1.5 million trucks.Most of it ended up in landfills or was burnt.There is also a shocking economic loss,as an estimated 62 billion US dollars'worth of reusable resources-including rare earth elements-are lost in the process.Currently,just 1%of the world's demand for these elements is met by e-waste recycling. With e-waste rising five times faster than recycling rates,new solutions to the problem are urgent.Aquafade could be one-a new type of plastic that could be used to cover electronics( 子设备)such as keyboards and dissolves(溶解)completely in water in about six hours when the device is no longer needed,making it easier to recycle the most valuable components. The inspiration for Aquafade came from dishwasher pods ()To explore further, Wangsaputra and co-inventor Joon Sang Lee teamed up with two material scientists at Imperial College London.They identified a food-safe,biodegradable material-PVOH.But PVOH alone was not sufficient to solve the problem.The main challenge was to make a material that can dissolve in water but is also waterproof ()After a series of attempts,they made a special biodegradable coating applied to the PVOH outer shell.This new material-PVOH with the special waterproof coating-is exactly Aquafade.Its dissolving process is simple;once you take off just one screw from the product,that creates a leak,and when you put it in water,it will dissolve after five to six hours,leaving behind milky water and the most valuable electronic parts of the product. For now,Aquafade is double the cost of regular plastic.But Wangsaputra said that mass production will make it cheaper.Peter Edwards,professor at the University of Oxford,who's not involved with Aquafade,called it "an interesting development,"but wondered whether the dissolved plastic will persist in the environment and ultimately end up as microplastic. 32.What do we know about e-waste from paragraph 1? A.It has been effectively recycled worldwide B.Its annual production has reduced sharply. C.Most of rare earth elements in it are recycled. D.The way to deal with it causes great economic loss. 33.What is an advantage of Aquafade? A.It dissolves in water to help recycling B.It makes devices work more efficiently. C.It helps produce cheaper electronic products. D.It prevents plastic from entering the environment. 34.What is mainly presented in paragraph 3? A.The limitations of PVOH. B.The creation of Aquafade. C.The benefits of the waterproof coating. D.The comparison of two materials. 35.What can be inferred about the future application of Aquafade? A.It will soon take the place of regular plastic. B.Its production cost will stay high in the future. C.It has potential but still faces uncertainties. D.It has gained wide recognition from experts. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 How to Feel Better About the Way You Look If you feel insecure about the way you look,you aren't alone.36They can easily contribute to feelings of insecurity.If you would like to become more confident about your body and looks,there are steps you can take to change how you think about your body.
