Passenger pigeons (旅鸽) were the most common birds in all of North America in the 1800s. It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeons — groups that made a sound like a storm. But today, they are extinct because of human behavior. Now, some scientists want to bring passenger pigeons back to life by using new technology and scientific ideas. They call this process deextinction.
Deextinction has not happened yet. It is still just an idea. The process of deextinction is not easy. First, scientists must collect DNA from the bodies of extinct animals. Then they will put it in the eggs of similar animal species. When these animals become adults, they will have babies. And these baby animals will have the DNA of the extinct animals.
Scientists believe it is possible to bring back passenger pigeons and many other animals. However, not everyone thinks this is a good idea.
Stuart Primm is the world's leading expert on modern animal extinction. He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth. On one hand, these animals no longer have a safe place to live. On the other hand, they could cause other animals to die.
Many other scientists do not agree with Stuart Primm. Stuart Brand, a writer and scientist, is one of them. He believes deextinction is good for many reasons.
"The current generation (当代) of children will experience the return of some unusual animals in their lifetime. It may be part of what defines their generation and their attitude to the natural world. They will take their parents to zoos to see the growing populations of passenger pigeons, and maybe even dodo birds. This will provide a good deal of money for zoos busy with extinct species restoration (恢复). Humans killed off a lot of species over the last 10,000 years. So, it's right to bring some back to life," he said.
4. In the 19th century, passenger pigeons ________.
A. were common sightings
B. suffered a lot from storms
C. lived mainly in North America
D. were the largest in American history
5. What do we know about deextinction?
A. It will change the DNA of the extinct animals.
B. It was first used in passenger pigeons.
C. It is difficult to carry out.
D. It proved to be useful.
6. Why is Stuart Primm against bringing back extinct animals?
A. They will die very soon. B. They will create other problems.
C. They will do great harm to humans. D. They will replace the similar species.
7. How does Stuart Brand feel about deextinction?
A. Wrong. B. Difficult. C. Important. D. Wasteful.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文,讨论了灭绝物种复活这一新技术。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Passenger pigeons (旅鸽) were the most common birds in all of North America in the 1800s. It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeons — groups that made a sound like a storm. (旅鸽是19世纪北美最常见的鸟类。成群结队的旅鸽发出暴风雨般的声音是很常见的。)”可知,19世纪时的旅鸽数目众多。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The process of deextinction is not easy. (复活灭绝的过程并不容易。)”以及接下来具体介绍灭绝物种复活的复杂过程可知,复活灭绝物种绝非易事。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth... these animals no longer have a safe place to live(他相信使灭绝的动物复生对地球有害。这些动物不再有一个安全的地方生活).”和“they could cause other animals to die(它们会导致其他动物死亡)”可知,Stuart Primm反对灭绝物种复活是因为他认为这些复活的动物会造成一些其他的问题。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“He believes deextinction is good for many reasons. (他认为,从很多方面来看,复活灭绝物种是有益的。)”以及Stuart Brand在最后一段具体陈述灭绝物种复活的好处可知,他认为复活灭绝物种很重要。故选C。

How would you go without your smartphone? For many of us, our smartphone is the first and last thing we look at every day. We depend on it to perform a number of tasks and connect with our friends and family. But have we become addicted to our phones?
Certainly, the inventor of the first mobile phone, American engineer Martin Cooper, thinks we might be. In a BBC interview, he suggested people quit scrolling (刷屏) and “get a life”. But of course, once we start scrolling or watching videos, we just can’t kick the habit. Psychologist Jean Twenge says we feel regret for “checking our phone again and again if we’re waiting for a text or getting really into social media then kind of, looking up and realizing that an hour has passed.”
But does it matter if we make the most of this technology? Possibly, because like medicine, the problem appears when it is withdrawn. A study from King’s College London found young people couldn’t control the amount of time they spend on their phone. Such behaviour means that people become “anxious” or “upset” if they are not allowed to be on the phone continuously, which can cause anxiety and mental health problems.
Interestingly, another study by the London School of Economics Science suggests we don’t just look at our phones when we receive text or email messages. The people they studied felt an automatic (自动的) need to check their phone, just as a smoker would light a cigarette. One solution could be an app that rewards (奖励) students for time spent away from their phones. Another choice is changing your smartphone to a dumbphone that has none of the things that turn your attention away. But mainly, perhaps, we just need to look up more and reconnect with the real world!
8. What is Martin Cooper’s attitude to focusing on smartphones?
A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Disapproval.
9. What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Stopped. B. Increased. C. Offered. D. Saved.
10. What is the author’s key suggestion in the last paragraph?
A. Concentrate on studies. B. Get a reward for offline time.
C. Buy a new smartphone. D. Contact the real world.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Benefits from Smartphones B. Addiction to Smartphones
C. Development of Smartphones D. Disadvantages of Smartphones
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了智能手机已经成为人们生活中不可缺少的部分,很多人也都形成了手机依赖症并讲述了手机依赖症的特点及产生的问题,并希望人们能够多点时间放下手机,投入到现实世界中来。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“In a BBC interview, he suggested people quit scrolling (刷屏) and “get a life”.(在接受BBC采访时,他建议人们不要再刷手机了,要“享受生活”)”可推知,Martin Cooper不支持人们天天刷手机。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Such behaviour means that people become “anxious” or “upset” if they are not allowed to be on the phone continuously, which can cause anxiety and mental health problems.(这种行为意味着,如果不允许人们持续打电话,他们会变得“焦虑”或“不安”,这可能会导致焦虑和心理健康问题。)”可知,划线词所在句意为“有可能,因为就像药物一样,当它被停用时,问题就出现了”,也就是说手机就和药物一样,一直吃药会产生依赖,但一旦停药,身体就会出问题。由此推知,划线词withdrawn与A项“stopped停止”意思接近。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“But mainly, perhaps, we just need to look up more and reconnect with the real world!(但最主要的,也许我们只是需要抬头,重新连接到现实世界!)”可知,与现实世界的接触是作者在最后一段的关键建议。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But have we become addicted to our phones?(但是我们已经对手机上瘾了吗?)”提出了文章的主题,下文对这一主题展开了描述,提出了人们对手机上瘾的症状和产生的问题,最后对此提出了建议。由此可知,B项“Addiction to Smartphones(智能手机成瘾)”适合作本文标题,能概括文章内容。
D
With two minutes left on the clock, Hongtusi Han Dukai and her partner Gulhayat Mamit, from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, decided to stop swinging, and their final score was recorded at 61 bell touches. “I’ve never experienced this kind of result before,” Hongtusi said, “It’s super easy for us to reach 140 or even 150 during our training; really regrettable!”
The swing, known as “dangqiuqian” in Chinese, is popular in China, which boasts a long history. Becoming an official competition event in the National Ethnic Games (全国民族运动会) in 1986, the female-only swing competitions are divided by weight categories into below 55kg and above, and further divided into height competitions and the bell-touching competitions, with both singles and doubles events.
For the doubles bell-touching competition, two athletes stand face-to-face on a 40cm long and 10cm wide footboard of the swing, swinging to touch a bar with bells that usually stands 7.2 meters high and 8.5 meters away, hanging under another swing frame. Athletes who touch the bells the most times during the 10-minute competition win.
As the first pair to compete in the women’s doubles 55kg bell-touching competition of the swing event, Gulhayat admitted she was “very nervous” before stepping on the swing, but then calmed down as Hongtusi reminded her, “Don’t be nervous, keep up with my rhythm, and just listen to me.”
Both of them changed from middle-distance running to the swing, and they fell in love with swinging quickly. In 2022, both Hongtusi and Gulhayat participated in Xinjiang’s ethnic minorities sports games and then paired up for the Games this year. Despite only starting to train together three months ago, the new pair quickly developed a good cooperation, improving their performance.
“I think swinging is the hardest of all the events. There’s no break during the 10-minute competition. There’s no space to relax. You have to train for a long time to adapt to the ropes; insistence, strength and physical fitness are all required,” explained Hongtusi. At last they got the third place.
12. How did Hongtusi feel after the competition?
A. She had red eyes. B. She was in the pink.
C. She felt a bit blue. D. She was a green hand.
13. What is the purpose of paragraph 2 and 3?
A. To introduce the rules of the competition.
B. To indicate the popularity of the competition.
C. To add background information on the competition.
D. To show the importance of cooperation in the competition.
14. Which one is true about the swing competition?
A. It requires training from an early age. B. It is open to women only.
C. It allows the participants to rest halfway. D. It is the hardest of all the events.
15. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Two girls, shining in a swing competition.
B. Swing, a newly-added event to the Games.
C. Two girls, bringing the swing to the world.
D. Swing, a traditional sport in ethnic minorities.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了两位女孩在荡秋千比赛中的表现、赛况及开始这项比赛的渊源等内容。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中““I’ve never experienced this kind of result before,” Hongtusi said, “It’s super easy for us to reach 140 or even 150 during our training; really regrettable!”(“我以前从未经历过这样的结果,”洪图西(音译)说,“我们在训练中很容易达到140甚至150,真的很遗憾!”)”可知,洪图西对比赛结果感到遗憾,有点悲伤(blue)。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“The swing, known as “dangqiuqian” in Chinese, is popular in China, which boasts a long history. Becoming an official competition event in the National Ethnic Games (全国民族运动会) in 1986, the female-only swing competitions are divided by weight categories into below 55kg and above, and further divided into height competitions and the bell-touching competitions, with both singles and doubles events. (这种秋千在中国很受欢迎,有着悠久的历史。1986年成为全国少数民族运动会的正式比赛项目,仅限女性参加的秋千比赛按重量类别分为55公斤以下及以上,并进一步分为高度和触铃比赛,包括单人和双人)”和第三段“For the doubles bell-touching competition, two athletes stand face-to-face on a 40cm long and 10cm wide footboard of the swing, swinging to touch a bar with bells that usually stands 7.2 meters high and 8.5 meters away, hanging under another swing frame. Athletes who touch the bells the most times during the 10-minute competition win. (在双人触铃比赛中,两名运动员面对面站在一个40厘米长、10厘米宽的秋千踏板上,挥舞着触铃,触铃杆通常高7.2米,距离8.5米,悬挂在另一个秋千架下。在10分钟比赛中触钟次数最多的运动员获胜)”可知,这两段介绍了“荡秋千”比赛的历史、比赛规则及项目分组等背景信息,所以二三段是为了补充有关比赛的背景资料。故选C项。

(1986年成为全国少数民族运动会的正式比赛项目,仅限女性参加的秋千比赛按重量类别分为55公斤以下及以上,并进一步分为高度和触铃比赛,包括单人和双人)”可知,荡秋千比赛仅对女性开放,B项正确。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由全文可知,本文讲述了两位女孩在荡秋千比赛中的表现、赛况及开始这项比赛的渊源等内容,A项“两个女孩,在秋千比赛中大放异彩”是最合适的标题。故选A项。

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for the family when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking towards the woods. I could only see his back. He wasn’t walking in his usual way. He was obviously walking with a great effort, trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, towards the house.
Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow and purposeful step towards the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he carried. Branches and thorns slapped(拍打) his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leant against a tree to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer laying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap(舔着喝) the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hand.
When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
And later I knew what was going on.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. My curiosity once again drove me to follow him back. After he reached the kitchen, he turned on the tap. As he was trying hard to cup both hands to receive the water, it was still running away through his fingers. And he also had great difficulty turning off the tap with hands occupied. He seemed to be so sorry for his wasting of water. Wearing a note of upset on his face, he carried it carefully towards the woods.
And later I knew what was going on. It began to make sense to me why he wasn’t walking in his usual way. I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart working so hard to save a life. As my tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops. . . and more drops. It was as if the nature itself was moved by the great effort made by my son and began to rain.

Passenger pigeons (旅鸽) were the most common birds in all of North America in the 1800s. It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeons — groups that made a sound like a storm. But today, they are extinct because of human behavior. Now, some scientists want to bring passenger pigeons back to life by using new technology and scientific ideas. They call this process deextinction.
Deextinction has not happened yet. It is still just an idea. The process of deextinction is not easy. First, scientists must collect DNA from the bodies of extinct animals. Then they will put it in the eggs of similar animal species. When these animals become adults, they will have babies. And these baby animals will have the DNA of the extinct animals.
Scientists believe it is possible to bring back passenger pigeons and many other animals. However, not everyone thinks this is a good idea.
Stuart Primm is the world's leading expert on modern animal extinction. He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth. On one hand, these animals no longer have a safe place to live. On the other hand, they could cause other animals to die.
Many other scientists do not agree with Stuart Primm. Stuart Brand, a writer and scientist, is one of them. He believes deextinction is good for many reasons.
"The current generation (当代) of children will experience the return of some unusual animals in their lifetime. It may be part of what defines their generation and their attitude to the natural world. They will take their parents to zoos to see the growing populations of passenger pigeons, and maybe even dodo birds. This will provide a good deal of money for zoos busy with extinct species restoration (恢复). Humans killed off a lot of species over the last 10,000 years. So, it's right to bring some back to life," he said.
4. In the 19th century, passenger pigeons ________.
A. were common sightings
B. suffered a lot from storms
C. lived mainly in North America
D. were the largest in American history
5. What do we know about deextinction?
A. It will change the DNA of the extinct animals.
B. It was first used in passenger pigeons.
C. It is difficult to carry out.
D. It proved to be useful.
6. Why is Stuart Primm against bringing back extinct animals?
A. They will die very soon. B. They will create other problems.
C. They will do great harm to humans. D. They will replace the similar species.
7. How does Stuart Brand feel about deextinction?
A. Wrong. B. Difficult. C. Important. D. Wasteful.
C
How would you go without your smartphone? For many of us, our smartphone is the first and last thing we look at every day. We depend on it to perform a number of tasks and connect with our friends and family. But have we become addicted to our phones?
Certainly, the inventor of the first mobile phone, American engineer Martin Cooper, thinks we might be. In a BBC interview, he suggested people quit scrolling (刷屏) and “get a life”. But of course, once we start scrolling or watching videos, we just can’t kick the habit. Psychologist Jean Twenge says we feel regret for “checking our phone again and again if we’re waiting for a text or getting really into social media then kind of, looking up and realizing that an hour has passed.”
But does it matter if we make the most of this technology? Possibly, because like medicine, the problem appears when it is withdrawn. A study from King’s College London found young people couldn’t control the amount of time they spend on their phone. Such behaviour means that people become “anxious” or “upset” if they are not allowed to be on the phone continuously, which can cause anxiety and mental health problems.
Interestingly, another study by the London School of Economics Science suggests we don’t just look at our phones when we receive text or email messages. The people they studied felt an automatic (自动的) need to check their phone, just as a smoker would light a cigarette. One solution could be an app that rewards (奖励) students for time spent away from their phones. Another choice is changing your smartphone to a dumbphone that has none of the things that turn your attention away. But mainly, perhaps, we just need to look up more and reconnect with the real world!
8. What is Martin Cooper’s attitude to focusing on smartphones?
A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Disapproval.
9. What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Stopped. B. Increased. C. Offered. D. Saved.
10. What is the author’s key suggestion in the last paragraph?
A. Concentrate on studies. B. Get a reward for offline time.
C. Buy a new smartphone. D. Contact the real world.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Benefits from Smartphones B. Addiction to Smartphones
C. Development of Smartphones D. Disadvantages of Smartphones
D
With two minutes left on the clock, Hongtusi Han Dukai and her partner Gulhayat Mamit, from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, decided to stop swinging, and their final score was recorded at 61 bell touches. “I’ve never experienced this kind of result before,” Hongtusi said, “It’s super easy for us to reach 140 or even 150 during our training; really regrettable!”
The swing, known as “dangqiuqian” in Chinese, is popular in China, which boasts a long history. Becoming an official competition event in the National Ethnic Games (全国民族运动会) in 1986, the female-only swing competitions are divided by weight categories into below 55kg and above, and further divided into height competitions and the bell-touching competitions, with both singles and doubles events.
For the doubles bell-touching competition, two athletes stand face-to-face on a 40cm long and 10cm wide footboard of the swing, swinging to touch a bar with bells that usually stands 7.2 meters high and 8.5 meters away, hanging under another swing frame. Athletes who touch the bells the most times during the 10-minute competition win.
As the first pair to compete in the women’s doubles 55kg bell-touching competition of the swing event, Gulhayat admitted she was “very nervous” before stepping on the swing, but then calmed down as Hongtusi reminded her, “Don’t be nervous, keep up with my rhythm, and just listen to me.”
Both of them changed from middle-distance running to the swing, and they fell in love with swinging quickly. In 2022, both Hongtusi and Gulhayat participated in Xinjiang’s ethnic minorities sports games and then paired up for the Games this year. Despite only starting to train together three months ago, the new pair quickly developed a good cooperation, improving their performance.
“I think swinging is the hardest of all the events. There’s no break during the 10-minute competition. There’s no space to relax. You have to train for a long time to adapt to the ropes; insistence, strength and physical fitness are all required,” explained Hongtusi. At last they got the third place.
12. How did Hongtusi feel after the competition?
A. She had red eyes. B. She was in the pink.
C. She felt a bit blue. D. She was a green hand.
13. What is the purpose of paragraph 2 and 3?
A. To introduce the rules of the competition.
B. To indicate the popularity of the competition.
C. To add background information on the competition.
D. To show the importance of cooperation in the competition.
14. Which one is true about the swing competition?
A. It requires training from an early age. B. It is open to women only.
C. It allows the participants to rest halfway. D. It is the hardest of all the events.
15. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Two girls, shining in a swing competition.
B. Swing, a newly-added event to the Games.
C. Two girls, bringing the swing to the world.
D. Swing, a traditional sport in ethnic minorities.

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for the family when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking towards the woods. I could only see his back. He wasn’t walking in his usual way. He was obviously walking with a great effort, trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, towards the house.
Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow and purposeful step towards the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he carried. Branches and thorns slapped(拍打) his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leant against a tree to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer laying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap(舔着喝) the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hand.
When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house.
