He spent much of his childhood in france, where he spent many hours each day outdoors painting pictures. At the age of eighteen, he moved to the united states. Well, actually, john began his life in the U. S. As a business man. However, instead of taking care of his business, john was often off expLoring nature. At first, john spent his time hunting for fun. Then he found that the animals around were very beautiful, and he particularly enjoyed observing the birds he saw. He began studying them, trying to learn the differences between the birds and noticing their different behaviors. Therefore, he painted the birds he observed a lot. In eighty nineteen, john realized that he didn't have enough money to pay his bills. He was very upset that he couldn't earn enough money to support his family, so he spent time improving his painting skills and began to sell his paintings. He discovered that he could earn some money while doing something he really enjoyed. We are lucky now to have so many paintings of american birds by john audubon. Hello, everybody.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The greening of planes,trains and automobiles
Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions(排放).As the world races to decarbonize everything,it faces particular problems with transportation—which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.
The fuels for transport need to be not just green,cheap and powerful,but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around.Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs.Much is still to be settled,but here are some of the solutions to get us going green.
This energy transition(变革) is global,and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.It’s estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050.Fortunately,analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task.“We need to speed up the development of green energy,and it will all get used,” says Wipke.
21.What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018?
A.11.6%. B.45.1%. C.74.5%. D.86.1%.
22.Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily?
A.Planes. B.Trucks. C.Trains. D.Ships.
23.What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition?
A.Limiting fuel consumption.
B.Putting more effort into renewables.
C.Improving energy efficiency.
D.Making electricity more affordable.
B
Tu Youyou is a Chinese medical scientist,pharmaceutical (制药的) chemist,and educator best known for discovering artemisinin (also known as qinghaosu).The discovery of artemisinin and its treatment of malaria are regarded as a significant breakthrough of tropical medicine in the 20th century and health improvement for people of tropical developing countries in South Asia,Africa,and South America.
For her work,Tu received the 2011 Lasker Award in Clinical Medicine and the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology (生理学) or Medicine.The Nobel Committee puts Tu’s work well by writing:“Malaria infects close to 200 million individuals yearly.Artemisinin is used in all malaria-ridden parts of the world.When used in combination treatment,it is estimated to reduce the death rate from malaria by more than 20% overall and by more than 30% in children.For Africa alone,this means that more than 100,000 lives are saved each year.”
In China,Tu is known as a “sanwu scientist”.Tu has spent no time studying abroad,no membership with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and no doctoral degree.The Xinhua News Agency has commented on the significance of Tu’s achievement,“Not only is Tu the first Chinese Nobel laureate (获奖者) in natural science,but also the first Nobel laureate who received all scientific training in China.The award she won made Chinese scientists gain tremendous confidence.”
As part of the programme charged with finding a treatment for malaria,Tu was inspired by an ancient Chinese text which said qinghao was used to tackle intermittent fevers (间歇热) around 400 CE.In the herb Tu discovered a compound,now known as artemisinin,which proved an effective treatment for the infection.Tu herself volunteered to be the first human recipient.
An article Tu Youyou published in Nature in 2011 ended up with an insightful sentence.“It is my dream that Chinese medicine will help us conquer life-threatening diseases worldwide,and people across the globe will enjoy its benefits for health promotion,” Tu wrote.
24.According to the passage,what can we learn about Tu Youyou?
A.She is best known as an educator.
B.She received Lasker Award before Nobel Prize.
C.She received some scientific training abroad.
D.She was forced to be the first recipient of the medicine.
25.What’s the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The importance of the Nobel Prize.
B.The malaria’s effects on human health.
C.The achievements made by Tu Youyou.
D.The people’s suffering from infective diseases.
26.What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean?
A.End with. B.Fight with.
C.Mix with. D.Deal with.
27.What do the words Tu Youyou wrote in Nature show?
A.Her passion for Chinese medicine.
B.Her doubt about Chinese medicine.
C.Her dream of getting prizes from Nature.
D.Her hesitation in doing medical research.

Sometimes a person who thinks in an unusual way can look at the world from a different point of view.Such was Richard Phillips Feynman,a role model change maker.Born in 1918,he began showing some unusual qualities.
The first sign of Feynman’s unique qualities was that he hadn’t yet spoken by age three.But young Feynman showed a talent for math and engineering.He enjoyed repairing household objects,and built a simple laboratory in his room.By the time he was in high school,he was experimenting things which were only taught to college students.
After Richard Feynman graduated from high school in 1939,he studied at the MIT.Despite the fact that his grades in science and math were “the best that we’ve seen,” according to Princeton,he was almost rejected due to his very poor grades in writing and his Jewish religion.Finally,he was accepted and continued to study physics at Princeton where he got his PhD.His lectures attracted many great scientists of the time,including Albert Einstein.
At Princeton,Feynman began his most famous work:his work on nuclear weapons.He moved to a lab and not all of his work there has been released to the public,but we know he performed experiments related to uranium.After the war,Feynman taught at Cornell University,where he continued his studies.He was also awarded the Nobel Prize for his work in particle physics.
Then,in 1978,Feynman developed cancer and died a year later.Though Feynman and his work are honored by physicists across the world,his personal qualities and skills are what really makes him unique.Faced with all the challenges,he never gave up,doing work that he loved until the day he died.
28.What do we know about Richard Phillips Feynman from the text?
A.Young Feynman showed his talent in every field.
B.Feynman won the Nobel Prize after the war ended.
C.Young Feynman enjoyed managing household a lot.
D.Feynman was diagnosed with cancer and died at the age of 60.
29.Why was Feynman admitted by Princeton?
A.Because he was a Jewish.
B.Because he graduated from the MIT.
C.Because he was very gifted in math and science.
D.Because his lecture attracted many great scientists.
30.Which of the following words can best describe Richard Feynman?
A.Selfless and friendly.
B.Talented and stubborn.
C.Intelligent and devoted.
D.Strong-willed and humorous.
31.What may be the best title of the text?
A.Richard Feynman’s Unusual Qualities
B.Richard Feynman — A Respected Scientist
C.A Touching Story About Richard Feynman
D.The Influence of Richard Feynman

Common house cats possess the ability to associate human words with images without instructions,a new research conducted by animal scientists at Azabu University in Japan has revealed.This discovery,published in the journal Scientific Reports,throws new light on cats’ cognitive abilities and their potential for understanding human language.
The team designed an experiment to test cats’ ability to form picture-word associations.The study involved 31 adult house cats and applied a methodology similar to those used in baby language development research.In the experiment,cats were shown short videos paired with nonsensical words (“keraru” and “parumo”).These videos were played repeatedly until the cats looked away.After a break,the same videos were shown,but with the spoken words disordered.
The results were striking:cats demonstrated longer viewing duration and pupil (瞳孔) expansion when the word-image pairings were switched,indicating puzzlement and a search for explanation.This behavior suggests that the cats had formed associations between the spoken words and the images they saw,even without any training.
“It is noteworthy that cats made the picture-word relation after only brief exposure,” the researchers said.“Most cats habituated to the stimulus (刺激物) pairing after four trials,which means they received only nine-second exposures in two trials for each picture-word pair.” By comparison,trials involving human babies used at least four 20-second trials for a picture-word pair.
It’s not clear why cats are able to form these associations so quickly and more work is needed to examine the question from both biological and developmental perspectives.The impacts of domestication on cats need to be investigated too,the researchers said.This is particularly crucial,as the research also indicated that cats might find it easier to form associations between objects and human speech rather than electronic sounds.
32.What is the new discovery about house cats?
A.They can be trained to please humans.
B.They can read humans’ facial expressions.
C.They can link words to images without tips.
D.They can understand complex human language.
33.What was cats’ reaction to the disordered words?
A.Confused. B.Fascinated.
C.Calm. D.Indifferent.
34.How does the cats’ learning process compare to that of human babies?
A.The processes are similar in speed.
B.Cats learn faster than human babies.
C.Cats take longer to form associations.
D.Human babies learn with shorter exposure.
35.What could be the key focus for the future study?
A.The biological development of cats.
B.The effects of domestication on cats.
C.The cat’s talent for identifying objects.
D.The cats’ preference for electronic sounds.

What makes a good scientist?
My name is Clara.I am a climate scientist studying tiny particles in the atmosphere which is a layer of gases that surrounds our planet.I have wondered about what makes a good scientist. 36 .
Patience
37 .They have patience for others,patience for themselves and patience when things go wrong.A few years ago,when I worked on a NASA mission,we sent a spacecraft to bring back a sample of an asteroid,which are rocky objects that travel around the sun.The spacecraft reached the asteroid in 2018 and returned with a piece of the asteroid in 2021.Then scientists studied it.
Scientific discoveries do not take place overnight.Many are small and go slowly.Missions often take years to complete. 38 .
Being Open To Others
A good scientist has an open mind.It can be easy to ignore people you do not agree with.But we should be open to new ideas and ask people what they think. 39 .Moreover,we should learn from our mistakes.Success almost never comes quickly or easily.Chances are you’ll stumble many times first,but that’s OK because making mistakes is part of learning.
Curiosity
Good scientists are curious,but we should also be curious in our daily lives.When we are curious about other people,we can care about them.We can become more understanding.
After all,it is easy to be kind.You can do it anywhere,and a kind action can make someone’s day.You don’t know what people are going through unless you find out.So,ask questions about everything.Ask your friends how they’re doing.Ask yourself what makes you feel alive.Above all,make sure to pay attention to the world and the people around you.
40 .It is our superpower,and also what makes us humans.
A.A good scientist has patience
B.Don’t be ashamed of being curious
C.Sometimes being open can be very harmful
D.That is why having patience is so important
E.Ask your workmates to have lunch with you
F.To me,it is the same as what makes a good person
G.We should do this even when we do not agree with them

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。
One year ago,when we were in the fifth grade,a new classmate named Jack joined us.He was often late for class and had a strange smell on him,which made the girls not want to be “neighbours” with him,let alone sit next to him.It is said that once,a naughty boy curiously opened his backpack and many crushed soda cans and empty drink bottles that we usually throw into the trash fell out.Therefore,the boys in our class mocked (嘲笑) him as the “trash king”.
Later,during a class meeting,our teacher,Ms.Zhang,told us about his story of using garbage to make inventions.It turns out that Jack is not an ordinary elementary school student,but a “garbage-inspired inventor” who has won the city invention award.According to Ms.Zhang,most of his inventions were picked up from garbage dumps (堆).During that class meeting,Jack showed us his invention of a“domestic wastewater separation system”.
Afterwards,some of us became deeply interested in these small inventions and started to admire Jack’s way of “picking up trash”.We even joined him in picking up trash on weekends and during holidays.From then on,we no longer called him the “trash king”.Instead,we formed a group of five boys and actively searched for usable materials in various garbage dumps around the city.Under Jack’s guidance,we learned that there are many uses for seemingly useless trash.Once,we stayed at school to process the collected materials.Jack mentioned that he was facing a problem with his latest invention—a small cart for buying vegetables that needed to be lightweight.All other materials were solved except for the wheels.How could we find a suitable material for the wheels?We racked our brains (绞尽脑汁) and came up with different ideas,such as using soda cans or taking off the wheels from suitcases.However,Jack reminded us that our group should focus on making inventions from waste rather than causing damage to create them.We were all deep in thought.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
When I got home and drank a bottle of water,I suddenly had an idea.
Jack indeed adopted my suggestion and fixed a row of bottle caps as wheels on his vegetable cart.

M:Hello,everybody.Today I’d like to share with you something about John Audubon.John was born on April 26th,1785.He spent much of his childhood in France,where he spent many hours each day outdoors painting pictures.At the age of 18,he moved to the United States.Well,actually,John began his life in the US as a businessman.However,instead of taking care of his business,John was often off exploring nature.At first,John spent his time hunting for fun.Then he found that the animals around were very beautiful,and he particularly enjoyed observing the birds he saw.He began studying them,trying to learn the differences between the birds and noticing their different behaviours.Therefore he painted the birds he observed a lot.In 1819,John realized that he didn’t have enough money to pay his bills.He was very upset that he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family,so he spent time improving his painting skills and began to sell his paintings.He discovered that he could earn some money while doing something he really enjoyed.We are lucky now to have so many paintings of American birds by John Audubon.

第二节
When I got home and drank a bottle of water,I suddenly had an idea.What if we could use bottle caps as wheels for Jack’s vegetable cart?It seemed like a simple solution,but it could work if we found enough bottle caps.Excited,I shared my idea with the group the next day.Jack’s eyes lit up with enthusiasm as he realized the potential of this suggestion.We immediately set out to collect as many bottle caps as we could find,scouring not only the garbage dumps but also asking friends and family to save them for us.
Jack indeed adopted my suggestion and fixed a row of bottle caps as wheels on his vegetable cart.It was a moment of triumph for all of us,seeing our collective efforts and creativity come to fruition.The cart rolled smoothly,and we celebrated our success with high-fives and laughter.This experience taught us the power of collaboration,innovation,and looking beyond the surface of things.Inspired by Jack’s ingenuity,our group continued to explore ways to repurpose waste,knowing that small actions could lead to big changes in our community and beyond.
