In Katmai National. Park, a mother bear and her cub walk toward us, then sit down and nap, completely at ease with us being around. And the feeling is shared. My husband, nervous about being near such large predators (捕食者) an hour ago, now relaxes so much that he falls asleep in the grass too.
The Katmai coast can only be reached by air or sea. Its faraway location helps keep bear viewing safe. Our guide, Bachrach, tells us that the common view of bears as violent predators killing for meat actually only shows part of the picture. The Katmai spring sees bears feast on plants and dig for shellfish during low tide. From late June to September, they move to salmon-filled rivers for the salmon, but they also keep eating grass and berries.
Each time we spot a bear, Bachrach reminds us to read its behavior. If the bear appears relaxed, we can watch for a while from a safe distance. As responsible visitors, we must never let it get too close, and never let even a bit of our food fall to the ground. Bachrach learned this the hard way after a bear entered a cabin and stayed near the door for days, expecting more after finding fruit. Besides, we must also avoid disturbing the bears while they feed. As they drink along the river, we carefully move around them.
“What do you think people get out of seeing bears?” I ask Bachrach.
“I’ve watched visitors go from hesitant to amazed, then comfortable, and then observant and thoughtful. Hopefully they learn to share space with wild animals. Those who don’t learn to share don’t grow alongside each other. And those who share, do,” he says.
24. Why does the husband fall asleep?
A. He is uninterested in bears. B. He doesn’t want to disturb the bears.
C. He enjoys the author’s company. D. He feels safe in the environment.
25. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Bears’ attacking behavior. B. Katmai’s faraway location.
C. Bears’ different diets. D. Katmai’s changing seasons.
26. What should a responsible bear visitor do?
A. Follow bears closely. B. Share food with bears.
C. Talk to bears. D. Watch bears only.
27. What does Bachrach hope people learn from bear viewing?
A. To live in peace with wildlife. B. To survive in the wild.
C. To increase space for wildlife. D. To look after bears thoughtfully.

Randall Munroe, who used to work on robots at NASA, explains science in a fun and easy- to-understand way in his book What If? Once you get used to his unique writing style, you can go on many amazing trips with him and learn while laughing.
And you will certainly learn. There is a sort of joy in getting real answers to the strange questions Munroe is sent every day. However unusual the topics are, Randall takes them seriously. For example, if you set a meat-eating dinosaur (恐龙) free in New York City, how many humans would it have to eat to meet its need each day? Munroe thinks New York could support about 350 dinosaurs. That’s good to know, but we hope we don’t need to use this information.
The book’s cover is a full-size picture of what the Earth would look like if the oceans were removed. The back has some interesting facts you might want to know before buying it (eating the book would give you about 2,300 calories (卡路里) if you could take in paper). Thanks, Randall!
Although Munroe knows a lot and can perfectly explain the science behind the questions, What If? is not a textbook. When asked what would happen when you threw a baseball at light-speed, he says there would be a shockwave expanding (膨胀) outwards, and quickly moves on. He is answering the question after all, but if you are looking for detailed classroom- style descriptions of what Munroe is talking about, you’re out of luck.
But that’s what makes it great. What If? is light enough to attract you, but deep enough to make you curious about science one chapter at a time. If you’re willing to go along with Munroe’s ideas and guesses, you’re in for an exciting journey of the mind.
28. What can be found in the book What If?
A. Stories of fun journeys. B. Pictures of the oceans.
C. Latest scientific experiments. D. Discussions of unreal situations.
29. How does Munroe deal with the questions in his book?
A. He offers direct answers. B. He pays no attention.
C. He recommends textbooks. D. He digs into many possibilities.
30. What is Munroe’s writing style like?
A. Formal and detailed. B. Light but confusing.
C. Humorous and educational. D. Imaginative but unclear.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. What If?: A Collection of Funny Science Jokes
B. What If?: A Scientific Adventure with Munroe
C. What If?: A Guidebook on Healthy Eating Habits
D. What If?: A Question-based Book about Life
D
The “hedgehog (刺猬) dilemma” is a famous metaphor from German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In his 1851 book, he described how humans struggle with relationships through a story about hedgehogs. His advice was simple: keep your distance.
This sad story became widely discussed. Sigmund Freud and modern scientists studied this idea. In 2015, an award-winning short film called Henry retold this story.
How does this apply to real life? Most people remember being hurt by close relationships – broken friendships, family conflicts, or romantic betrayals. Since these connections matter deeply, their damage hurts more. Should we stop trusting others? Schopenhauer said yes, but science would say otherwise.
A study in PLOS Medicine reviewing 148 studies with over 300,000 people found those with strong social connections live 50% longer. The National Institute on Aging warns that loneliness harms health as much as smoking 15 cigarettes daily — making Schopenhauer’s advice concerning.
When hurt repeatedly, people often fall into defense mode. Relationship expert Hilary Sanders explains common defense behaviors: going silent during arguments, seeing normal comments as criticism, or overreacting to small issues. These reactions often start in childhood. If parents often criticized or classmates bullied someone, they might develop habits like pretending not to care or getting angry easily. While these helped survive childhood pain, they cause problems in adult relationships when used unconsciously.
The good news is people can change. Through therapy, many learn to recognize their defense patterns and understand their origins. Couples can improve relationships by learning each other’s emotional signs and responding thoughtfully instead of arguing. However, Sanders warns that defenses shouldn’t be removed suddenly — it’s like taking down a wall brick by brick.
Although Schopenhauer focused on the pain of closeness, the hedgehog story actually shows our deep need for connection. Unlike real hedgehogs, humans aren’t born with physical spines. By carefully lowering our defenses around trustworthy people, we might truly enjoy both warmth and safety in relationships.
32. Why does the author mention the hedgehog dilemma in paragraph 1?
A. To emphasize its importance.
B. To support Schopenhauer’s advice.
C. To recommend Schopenhauer’s book.
D. To introduce the theme of relationship.
33. What is Schopenhauer’s core solution to the “hedgehog dilemma”?
A. Avoid closeness. B. Seek therapy.
C. Ignore pain. D. Build walls.
34. What major evidence goes against Schopenhauer’s advice?
A. Defense behavior of people. B. Freud’s studies.
C. A longer life from social ties. D. Henry’s short film.
35. What does Sanders say about close connection?
A. Couples should learn to defend it thoughtfully.
B. Humans can benefit from it unconsciously.
C. It can help children relieve childhood pain.
D. People should make gradual progress in it.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 37 We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.
A. This time there was no tent.
B. Things are going to be improved.
C. The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.

Dear Frank,
For the purpose of encouraging us to put fragmented exercise into practice in our daily routines, our school is launching the initiative “Small moves, Great Health”. I’m writing to share with you how transformative these small moves have been.
My approach to keep small movements is simple yet rewarding. During morning reading, I prefer standing to sitting all the time while reciting texts aloud. What’s more, I do easy stretches between classes, such as stretching my arms, rolling my shoulders, twisting my waist and wandering along the way. Besides, on my way to and from school, I walk 20 minutes instead of taking the bus, making full use of the road time to work out. Small as these activities are, they not only boost my energy and concentration in class, but also relieve my intense academic pressure.
Serving as my secret weapon against stress and a pick-me-up in study, ‘Small Moves, Great Health” is more than just a school initiative to me—it has become a positive life attitude that I will stick to forever.

M: Yes. Recently the business has been losing money, so they’ve decided to close it down.
W: What are you going to do? Are you going to try and get another job in the music business?
M: Well, I thought I might start a recording studio. There are lots of youngsters who can’t afford the high prices. I thought I could offer a cut-price recording service.
W: Great. Then, as you get more famous, you could increase your charges.
M: No, I’d rather encourage young musicians to come and make their first recordings with me and then I thought maybe I could branch out and become an agent.
W: Well, if you need someone to help you, let me know.
M: OK.
(Text 10) W: Well, I live on my own now. I decided after my fourth husband died that I didn’t want to marry again, and I like being independent. I still enjoy going to parties and meeting people — it’s quite funny when I meet someone for the first time and they recognise me, but they can’t remember the names of any of my films. They get embarrassed, but I don’t mind. The last one was quite a few years ago after all. I’ve lived here in Los Angeles for nearly forty years now, and I love the weather, and the people, but I feel I need a change. So maybe next year I’ll do something exciting, like travelling around the world. I’ve always wanted to go to Australia you know — so I should go, really, before it’s too late.
