Gilbert White made extensive observations of the natural world in the 1770s. Rather than study dead specimens, as many “naturalists” before him, White observed plants and animals in their natural settings, making him one of the early ecologists in Britain.
Because of the time at which he lived, he was not fully aware of certain phenomena such as bird migration, although he suspected such things occurred. Through his writing, many biologists were given an insight into the perception of the natural world before technological advancements.
As a keen observer of birds, he distinguished between different species based on their songs, without using telescopes. White’s observations included seasonal data, such as bud-burst and flowering of common plants, which he recorded in The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne — a collection of letters to two great scientists of the time.
This book has had more than 200 editions and is reputed to be — after the Bible, the works of Shakespeare and Pilgrim’s Progress — the fourth most published book in the English Language. It was published in 1789 and since then has never been out of print. The book contains 110 letters spanning 20 years.
In a letter, dated May 20, 1777, White discussed earthworms, stating: “Earthworms, though in appearance a small and insignificant link in the chain of nature, yet if lost, would trigger major ecological imbalance.” He also highlighted their role as promoters of vegetation, noting their activities like making holes in the soil, creating pathways, and producing beneficial waste through wormcasts (蚯蚓粪).
It is quite remarkable that here, from writings of nearly 250 years ago, White refers to many activities of earthworms that we, as scientists and gardeners, now take for granted and continue to investigate in greater detail.
24. What made Gilbert White different from previous naturalists?
A. His approach to studying nature. B. His choice of observational tools.
C. His attitude to preserving species. D. His focus on controlled environments.
25. Why are the Bible and the works of Shakespeare mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To compare their historical significance.
B. To suggest their influence on White’s book.
C. To highlight the popularity of White’s book.
D. To illustrate the connections between classics.
26. What role do earthworms play in nature, according to Gilbert White?
A. They improve soil health. B. They control insect populations.
C. They’re too small to impact plants. D. They’re insignificant to ecosystems.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. White could have investigated in greater detail.
B. White’s work is great enough to be referenced.
C. White linked his observations to practical uses.
D. White’s insights are still new to scientists now.
C
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have worked together with meteorologists (气象学家) to analyze more than 50,000 weather satellite images to quickly identify storms. They found comma-shaped cloud formations that often lead to severe weather such as thunderstorms.
Computers were then taught using computer vision and machine learning to automatically detect these clouds from satellite images, with almost 100 percent accuracy, in less than a minute. By refocusing meteorologists’ attention on potential storm cloud formation the AI tool helped predict 64 percent of severe weather events and beat established detection systems.
Accuweather senior meteorologist Steve Wistar said it let forecasters find storm formations in a sea of cloud data. “The calling of our business is to save lives and protect property,” he said. “The more advance notice we give to people that would be affected by a storm, the better we’re providing that service.”
Expensive supercomputers are often used to process vast amounts of data needed for accurate weather prediction. But powerful AI methods can run on smaller computers. Climate risk and planning company ClimateAi uses a machine learning technique where two neural networks fight and train each other using global weather data until they get a result. This generates highly accurate and inexpensive local forecasts for hours or days ahead. And because it is not as costly, it allows poorer countries affected by climate change to use forecasts to change the way they farm, build roads, and adapt to extreme weather.
Data analytics and technology company DTN runs a high-resolution weather forecast service providing real-time information to New York City Emergency Management among others. It uses AI for both storm and wildfire prediction, combining historical weather information, weather models, and data on geography and topography. For energy companies, that includes data on vegetation and power failures, which they then use to plan for both wildfires and outages.
“Average costs associated with extreme weather events in the United States have increased steadily since 1980,” said DTN vice president of weather operations, Renny Vandewege. “These have costly impacts on cities’ basic services, housing, human livelihoods, and health. AI helps us to calculate that risk and can be used as a preventive measure.”
28. How do researchers at Pennsylvania State University use AI to enhance storm detection?
A. By collecting satellite data. B. By building weather models.
C. By identifying cloud formations. D. By examining established systems.
29. What is a major disadvantage of traditional weather forecasting compared to AI tools?
A. Overreliance on weather data. B. Limited access to real-time images.
C. Inaccuracy in predicting extreme weather. D. Slower detection of severe weather events.
30. What do ClimateAi and DTN have in common?
A. They use extensive data. B. They provide global forecasts.
C. They partner with governments. D. They assess weather-related costs.
31. What did Renny Vandewege highlight about AI?
A. Its accessibility for non-experts. B. Its role in reducing climate risks.
C. Its use in preventing extreme weather. D. Its ability to evaluate post-disaster losses.
D
My son just completed high school, and his departure for college marks a significant change for me. Among the things I’ll miss most are his lessons in teenage slang (俚语), which has offered me an accidental and useful portrait of how he and his generation see the world.
The primary value of slang has been to create linguistic markers, a way to set you apart from other people. The terms change over time, but the meanings typically don’t — one generation’s “cool” becomes another’s “dope.”
Members of my son’s generation have a vastly superior approach to slang. They have invented a language that responds to the new and distinct reality they face, a society characterized by collapsing institutions, erosions (削弱) in trust and a loss of faith in a shared sense of meaning.
“Mid,” for example, in my son’s usage, describes things that are average or slightly below. You can’t really complain about them, but they produce no joy. Everything in Starbucks and airports falls into the category of “mid.”
“Glazed” has a similarly impressive precision, indicating the act of positively spinning a judgment on reality rather than complete lying. It is the perfect description of the way social media works, with everything taking on an artificially positive, unreal and not entirely trustworthy look. For example, beach photos on social media might make a destination look like paradise, yet they rarely show the crowded shores or bad weather that are part of the reality.
My favorite slang word is “based,” often used to express agreement when someone states a controversial opinion. “Canada should join the United States,” one might say, to which someone else might reply, “Based.” To my ear, “based” is a perfect word to describe the informational chaos we inhabit.
Slang has brought my son and me closer. It’s taught me that the current crop of teenagers created a language to describe the flawed reality we’ve abandoned them to, and in doing so they’ve proved themselves less misguided and more innovative than we were.
32. What does teenage slang reveal about young people?
A. Their need to fit in with peers. B. Their response to the flawed reality.
C. Their aim to challenge social norms. D. Their desire to outdo older generations.
33. Which comment on a crowded beach reflects the underlined word “glazed”?
A. “What a disaster!” B. “Not crowded at all.”
C. “A wonderful getaway!” D. “At least we found a spot.”
34. Which word best describes the tone of the text?
A. Appreciative. B. Analytical.
C. Instructive. D. Cautious.
35. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Teenagers’ Fondness of Nonsense Words
B. Modern Slang Tells Us about Youth Culture
C. The Impact of Teen Slang on Social Relations
D. Teens Have Invented a Language for the World
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。
Travelers often fill their suitcases with souvenirs like refrigerator magnets, keychains and postcards. ___36___ Now, those visiting the Italian lakeside town of Como have another, slightly less conventional item to bring home: a sealed can of Lake Como air.
ItalyComunica, a communications company, is selling 13.5-ounce cans of “pure air from the most beautiful lake in the world” for roughly $11 (€9.90) each. ___37___ They feature a dark blue label with an illustration of a boat cruising through the water. “Open it whenever you need a moment of escape, tranquility, or simply beauty,” instructs the website. “Only those who visit Lake Como can want to buy our souvenir; memories are not bought but lived.”
Sitting at the base of the Alps, Lake Como is a large body of water in Italy’s northern Lombardy region. ___38___ Many celebrities own second homes in the surrounding area, and numerous movies have been filmed there.
___39___ Clever businesspeople have been selling similar products for decades. In mountain towns and other high-elevation destinations, “oxygen in a can” is sometimes marketed as an antidote (缓解物) to altitude sickness, despite little scientific evidence to support that claim. Any benefits from canned air are likely due to the placebo (安慰剂) effect, experts say.
Alessandro Rapinese, the mayor of Como, says that he would rather vacationers bought silk scarves, which the region is known for, or other souvenirs. However, he adds: “___40___ Just make sure to take beautiful memories of this area as well.”
A. It’s the best souvenir option.
B. It has become a popular vacation destination.
C. Souvenirs have a long and fascinating history.
D. These little items serve as reminders of their vacation.
E. If someone wants to take some air home, that’s perfectly fine.
F. The cans are marketed as “luxurious” souvenirs on the product website.
G. This is not the first time canned air has been marketed to tourists, though.

However, this body of evidence was ___42___ for the Germanic peoples living outside the Roman Empire, and it is generally assumed that they made little ___43___ of drugs apart from alcohol.
Now, ___44___ by archaeologists offer a fresh viewpoint on these issues. Researchers identified 241 such ___45___ dating from the Roman period.

Stimulants may have been widely used to motivate soldiers to ___48___ their performance and also to reduce the stress and ___49___ caused by the war. The warriors could have used these objects to measure the right dose to ____50____ the desired effects.
Researchers then surveyed which stimulants could have been ____51____ to the Germanic communities, either plants gathered locally or ____52____ in dry form from further afield. They conclude that Germanic peoples would have had access to a wide range of substances used as stimulants. These could have been ____53____ either in liquid form or in powdered form.
Moreover, they note that to ____54____ the quantity and type of stimulants needed would have required considerable knowledge. They further believe that the stimulants were probably also used for ____55____ other than warfare, such as in medicine and rituals.

The Milky Way formed around 13.5 billion years ago, but it's not possible to travel back in time to see exactly how it ___56___ (happen). Studies of the Galaxy's ancient stars offer some clues, as do simulations (模拟), ___57___ the observable light from our home galaxy (星系) was emitted (发出) too recently ___58___ (enable) astronomers to examine its beginnings directly.

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。
My name is Shaquille O’Neal, but no, I am not the legendary basketball star everyone knows. My parents are big basketball fans, so they named me after him, sparking my love-hate relationship with the name. We share only our passion for basketball; he’s a tall, famous icon,while I'm a short boy who can barely dribble (运球) the ball without dropping it.
Every Saturday, the Central District’s Boys and Girls Club sponsors league-play for all age groups. My age group, 9 to 11, is the biggest. For years, I was always the last picked. “He’s too small!” Louis, a team captain, would say coldly while my teammates laughed. I’d sit on the hard bench the whole game, then lie to my dad about having fun, my heart aching to do my part for the team instead of just watching from the sidelines.
Last November, I got to play, thanks to Thanksgiving trips and flu season. I tried to make up for my poor skills by being really aggressive. I would always defend the biggest kid on the other team, and ended up with a bloody nose.
The Boys and Girls Club has a great nurse’s room. I know because I spent more time in there than on the court. The nurse was a Vietnamese lady, and because none of the kids could pronounce her name, they called her Skimmy. Skimmy didn’t know anything about basketball or any other American sports, but she was nice and had a pretty smile.
By my twelfth nosebleed, Skimmy was my friend. It was she who finally helped me become a better player. “Mr. Shaq,” she said one Saturday, “I watch you play. You always get hurt.Why do you play that way? Why don’t you take advantage of what you are? I watch you — you are fast. You are speedier than a meteor. Why don’t you get faster?”
注意:
1.写作词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
What Skimmy had said made a lot of sense:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next Saturday, I stepped onto the court with a different plan.

【原文】 When your doctor asks how often you exercise or what you’ve been eating lately, do you always give her an honest answer? According to a new study, three-fifths to four-fifths of the people surveyed have not been completely honest with their doctors about information that could be relevant to their health. What’s more, more than a third of them didn’t speak up when they disagreed with their doctor’s recommendation.
When those people explained why they weren’t straightforward, they said that they didn’t want to be lectured about how bad certain behaviors were.
The study included two populations: the first group consisted of 2,011 participants who averaged 24 years old, and the second group was made up of 2,499 participants who averaged 61 years old. Scientists from four American universities carried out the study, and their results have been published online. In the study, the first author expressed her concern. “It’s surprising. If patients are withholding information about what they’re eating, or whether they are taking their medication, it can have significant results for their health — especially if they have an illness,” she said.

Gilbert White made extensive observations of the natural world in the 1770s. Rather than study dead specimens, as many “naturalists” before him, White observed plants and animals in their natural settings, making him one of the early ecologists in Britain.
Because of the time at which he lived, he was not fully aware of certain phenomena such as bird migration, although he suspected such things occurred. Through his writing, many biologists were given an insight into the perception of the natural world before technological advancements.
As a keen observer of birds, he distinguished between different species based on their songs, without using telescopes. White’s observations included seasonal data, such as bud-burst and flowering of common plants, which he recorded in The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne — a collection of letters to two great scientists of the time.
This book has had more than 200 editions and is reputed to be — after the Bible, the works of Shakespeare and Pilgrim’s Progress — the fourth most published book in the English Language. It was published in 1789 and since then has never been out of print. The book contains 110 letters spanning 20 years.
In a letter, dated May 20, 1777, White discussed earthworms, stating: “Earthworms, though in appearance a small and insignificant link in the chain of nature, yet if lost, would trigger major ecological imbalance.” He also highlighted their role as promoters of vegetation, noting their activities like making holes in the soil, creating pathways, and producing beneficial waste through wormcasts (蚯蚓粪).
It is quite remarkable that here, from writings of nearly 250 years ago, White refers to many activities of earthworms that we, as scientists and gardeners, now take for granted and continue to investigate in greater detail.
24. What made Gilbert White different from previous naturalists?
A. His approach to studying nature. B. His choice of observational tools.
C. His attitude to preserving species. D. His focus on controlled environments.
25. Why are the Bible and the works of Shakespeare mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To compare their historical significance.
B. To suggest their influence on White’s book.
C. To highlight the popularity of White’s book.
D. To illustrate the connections between classics.
26. What role do earthworms play in nature, according to Gilbert White?
A. They improve soil health. B. They control insect populations.
C. They’re too small to impact plants. D. They’re insignificant to ecosystems.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. White could have investigated in greater detail.
B. White’s work is great enough to be referenced.
C. White linked his observations to practical uses.
D. White’s insights are still new to scientists now.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. A 27. B

Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have worked together with meteorologists (气象学家) to analyze more than 50,000 weather satellite images to quickly identify storms. They found comma-shaped cloud formations that often lead to severe weather such as thunderstorms.
Computers were then taught using computer vision and machine learning to automatically detect these clouds from satellite images, with almost 100 percent accuracy, in less than a minute. By refocusing meteorologists’ attention on potential storm cloud formation the AI tool helped predict 64 percent of severe weather events and beat established detection systems.
Accuweather senior meteorologist Steve Wistar said it let forecasters find storm formations in a sea of cloud data. “The calling of our business is to save lives and protect property,” he said. “The more advance notice we give to people that would be affected by a storm, the better we’re providing that service.”
Expensive supercomputers are often used to process vast amounts of data needed for accurate weather prediction. But powerful AI methods can run on smaller computers. Climate risk and planning company ClimateAi uses a machine learning technique where two neural networks fight and train each other using global weather data until they get a result. This generates highly accurate and inexpensive local forecasts for hours or days ahead. And because it is not as costly, it allows poorer countries affected by climate change to use forecasts to change the way they farm, build roads, and adapt to extreme weather.
Data analytics and technology company DTN runs a high-resolution weather forecast service providing real-time information to New York City Emergency Management among others. It uses AI for both storm and wildfire prediction, combining historical weather information, weather models, and data on geography and topography. For energy companies, that includes data on vegetation and power failures, which they then use to plan for both wildfires and outages.
“Average costs associated with extreme weather events in the United States have increased steadily since 1980,” said DTN vice president of weather operations, Renny Vandewege. “These have costly impacts on cities’ basic services, housing, human livelihoods, and health. AI helps us to calculate that risk and can be used as a preventive measure.”
28. How do researchers at Pennsylvania State University use AI to enhance storm detection?
A. By collecting satellite data. B. By building weather models.
C. By identifying cloud formations. D. By examining established systems.
29. What is a major disadvantage of traditional weather forecasting compared to AI tools?
A. Overreliance on weather data. B. Limited access to real-time images.
C. Inaccuracy in predicting extreme weather. D. Slower detection of severe weather events.
30. What do ClimateAi and DTN have in common?
A. They use extensive data. B. They provide global forecasts.
C. They partner with governments. D. They assess weather-related costs.
31. What did Renny Vandewege highlight about AI?
A. Its accessibility for non-experts. B. Its role in reducing climate risks.
C. Its use in preventing extreme weather. D. Its ability to evaluate post-disaster losses.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B

My son just completed high school, and his departure for college marks a significant change for me. Among the things I’ll miss most are his lessons in teenage slang (俚语), which has offered me an accidental and useful portrait of how he and his generation see the world.
The primary value of slang has been to create linguistic markers, a way to set you apart from other people. The terms change over time, but the meanings typically don’t — one generation’s “cool” becomes another’s “dope.”
Members of my son’s generation have a vastly superior approach to slang. They have invented a language that responds to the new and distinct reality they face, a society characterized by collapsing institutions, erosions (削弱) in trust and a loss of faith in a shared sense of meaning.
“Mid,” for example, in my son’s usage, describes things that are average or slightly below. You can’t really complain about them, but they produce no joy. Everything in Starbucks and airports falls into the category of “mid.”
“Glazed” has a similarly impressive precision, indicating the act of positively spinning a judgment on reality rather than complete lying. It is the perfect description of the way social media works, with everything taking on an artificially positive, unreal and not entirely trustworthy look. For example, beach photos on social media might make a destination look like paradise, yet they rarely show the crowded shores or bad weather that are part of the reality.
My favorite slang word is “based,” often used to express agreement when someone states a controversial opinion. “Canada should join the United States,” one might say, to which someone else might reply, “Based.” To my ear, “based” is a perfect word to describe the informational chaos we inhabit.
Slang has brought my son and me closer. It’s taught me that the current crop of teenagers created a language to describe the flawed reality we’ve abandoned them to, and in doing so they’ve proved themselves less misguided and more innovative than we were.
32. What does teenage slang reveal about young people?
A. Their need to fit in with peers. B. Their response to the flawed reality.
C. Their aim to challenge social norms. D. Their desire to outdo older generations.
33. Which comment on a crowded beach reflects the underlined word “glazed”?
A. “What a disaster!” B. “Not crowded at all.”
C. “A wonderful getaway!” D. “At least we found a spot.”
34. Which word best describes the tone of the text?
A. Appreciative. B. Analytical.
C. Instructive. D. Cautious.
35. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Teenagers’ Fondness of Nonsense Words
B. Modern Slang Tells Us about Youth Culture
C. The Impact of Teen Slang on Social Relations
D. Teens Have Invented a Language for the World
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过回顾自己和儿子之间的交流,尤其是通过青少年俚语理解了他们所面临的现实和他们的文化。深入探讨了青少年俚语的内涵及其背后反映的社会现实,表达了对青少年一代的赞赏和理解。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Members of my son’s generation have a vastly superior approach to slang. They have invented a language that responds to the new and distinct reality they face, a society characterized by collapsing institutions, erosions (削弱) in trust and a loss of faith in a shared sense of meaning. (我儿子这一代人对俚语的运用方式要高明得多。他们发明了一种语言,以应对他们所面临的全新且独特的现实——一个以机构崩塌、信任瓦解以及对共同意义丧失信心为特征的社会)”可知,作者儿子这一代年轻人用俚语来应对他们所面临的一个不完美的世界。故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中““Glazed” has a similarly impressive precision, indicating the act of positively spinning a judgment on reality rather than complete lying. It is the perfect description of the way social media works, with everything taking on an artificially positive, unreal and not entirely trustworthy look. (“Glazed”一词同样具有令人印象深刻的精确性,它表示对现实进行积极的美化,而非完全撒谎。这是对社交媒体运作方式的完美描述——一切都呈现出一种人为的积极、不真实且不完全可信的外观)”可知,“Glazed”一词表示对现实进行积极美化而非完全撒谎的行为,不真实且不可信。对于一个拥挤的海滩,“A wonderful getaway! (非常棒的度假胜地)”这句话掩盖了海滩拥挤的现实,呈现出一种理想化的美好画面,反映了该词的含义。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中“It’s taught me that the current crop of teenagers created a language to describe the flawed reality we’ve abandoned them to, and in doing so they’ve proved themselves less misguided and more innovative than we were. (它让我明白,这一代青少年创造了一种语言,用来描述我们遗留给他们的这个有缺陷的现实世界。在这个过程中,他们证明了自己比我们更少误入歧途,更具创新精神)”可知,作者通过介绍青少年俚语的含义和背后的社会现实,表达了对青少年一代的理解和赞赏,认为他们通过创造独特的语言来描述他们所面临的不完美现实,展现出了创新精神。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“Among the things I’ll miss most are his lessons in teenage slang (俚语), which has offered me an accidental and useful portrait of how he and his generation see the world. (我最怀念的事情之一是他教我的青少年俚语,这些俚语意外地为我提供了一幅有用的画像,让我了解了他和他这一代人如何看待这个世界)”可知,文章主要探讨了青少年俚语的含义以及这些俚语所反映的社会现实,通过分析几个具体的俚语词汇,作者揭示了青少年一代如何面对现实创造他们这一代独特的语言。因此,D项“青少年为世界发明了一种语言”最契合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了天文学家通过研究其他星系来了解银河系的形成过程,以及观测遥远星系时涉及的光传播原理和宇宙膨胀现象。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:银河系形成于约135亿年前,但我们无法回到过去确切观察它是如何形成的。句中“formed around 13.5 billion years ago”明确表示过去发生的动作,需用一般过去时,动词happen的过去式为happened。故填happened。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意:对银河系古老恒星的研究和模拟提供了一些线索,但我们所在星系的可观测光发出得太近,天文学家无法直接研究它的起源。前文“offer some clues”与后文“the observable light...was emitted too recently”存在转折关系,故填并列连词but。故填but。
【58题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:同上。“too ... to do sth.”是固定结构,意为“太……而不能做某事”,因此此处填enable的不定式形式to enable。故填to enable。
【59题详解】
考查冠词。句意:莫拉利用詹姆斯・韦伯太空望远镜(JWST)的观测数据,研究了一个质量与银河系在宇宙早期形成后不久预期质量相符的遥远星系。“investigate”后接具体的研究对象,distant galaxy是单数可数名词,且表泛指,需用不定冠词a。故填a。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意:同上。此处修饰动词短语“after its formation”,需用short的副词形式shortly,“shortly after”表示“在……之后不久”。故填shortly。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:当天文学家观测遥远星系时,他们看到的是数十亿年前发出的光,因为光需要花费时间穿越浩瀚太空到达望远镜。“it takes time for sth. to do sth.”是固定句型,意为“某物花费时间做某事”,因此此处填介词for。故填for。
【62题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意:从这些遥远星系到地球的距离是已知的,因此它们发出的光的时间长度可以被测量,这要归功于宇宙的持续膨胀。此处表示“地球的距离”,需用名词所有格形式Earth’s修饰名词distance,置于句首时,首字母要大写。故填Earth’s。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。空格前为形容词constant,且“the constant + 名词”构成名词短语,故需填expand的名词形式expansion,表抽象“膨胀”,不可数。故填expansion。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当光穿越浩瀚太空时,其波长会随着太空的膨胀而拉伸,使其发出时的颜色看起来更红。is stretched作主句谓语,make应用非谓语形式作结果状语,逻辑主语为前面整个句子,与make为主动关系,需用现在分词形式making。故填making。
【65题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:而波长的变化取决于光传播的距离以及光发出时宇宙的年龄。主语“the change in the wavelength”与动词determine之间是被动关系,且描述客观事实,需用一般现在时的被动语态,determine的过去分词形式为determined,主语为单数,因此此处填is determined。故填is determined。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
My name is Shaquille O’Neal, but no, I am not the legendary basketball star everyone knows. My parents are big basketball fans, so they named me after him, sparking my love-hate relationship with the name. We share only our passion for basketball; he’s a tall, famous icon,while I'm a short boy who can barely dribble (运球) the ball without dropping it.
Every Saturday, the Central District’s Boys and Girls Club sponsors league-play for all age groups. My age group, 9 to 11, is the biggest. For years, I was always the last picked. “He’s too small!” Louis, a team captain, would say coldly while my teammates laughed. I’d sit on the hard bench the whole game, then lie to my dad about having fun, my heart aching to do my part for the team instead of just watching from the sidelines.
Last November, I got to play, thanks to Thanksgiving trips and flu season. I tried to make up for my poor skills by being really aggressive. I would always defend the biggest kid on the other team, and ended up with a bloody nose.
The Boys and Girls Club has a great nurse’s room. I know because I spent more time in there than on the court. The nurse was a Vietnamese lady, and because none of the kids could pronounce her name, they called her Skimmy. Skimmy didn’t know anything about basketball or any other American sports, but she was nice and had a pretty smile.
By my twelfth nosebleed, Skimmy was my friend. It was she who finally helped me become a better player. “Mr. Shaq,” she said one Saturday, “I watch you play. You always get hurt.Why do you play that way? Why don’t you take advantage of what you are? I watch you — you are fast. You are speedier than a meteor. Why don’t you get faster?”
注意:
1.写作词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
What Skimmy had said made a lot of sense:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next Saturday, I stepped onto the court with a different plan.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
What Skimmy had said made a lot of sense: I had been so busy trying to act tough and guard the tallest players that I completely ignored my own strength — speed. For the first time, I stopped focusing on my height and poor dribbling. Instead, I started practicing running every day after school, racing along the street and practicing quick turns. I no longer tried to fight with big guys but learned to use my speed to move freely on the court. Skimmy’s words lit up a path for me, and I was determined to show my value in my own way.
The next Saturday, I stepped onto the court with a different plan. When the game began, I ran quickly across the court, stealing the ball from opponents before they could react. My speed surprised everyone, including Louis. I passed the ball accurately to teammates and helped score several times. I didn’t get hurt or sit on the bench anymore. At the end of the game, my teammates cheered for me. For the first time, I truly felt like a useful part of the team, and my heart was full of pride and joy.

The first group consisted of two thousand and eleven participants who average twenty four years old, and the second group was made up of two thousand four hundred and ninety nine participants who average sixty one years old. Scientists from four american universities Carried out the study, and the results have been published online. In the study, the first author expressed her concern is surprising if patients are withholding information about what they're eating or whether they are taking their medication.
