Task III Decide if tomatoes should be called a vegetable.
A
The big debate
Should tomatoes be called a vegetable?
When you hear the word “vegetable”, you might think of carrots, cabbages and cucumbers—not tomato juice or cherry tomato salad. But according to the US Supreme Court, tomatoes are a vegetable because they are usually cooked with main dishes. However, many plant scientists say tomatoes belong to the fruit group. What do you think? Should tomatoes be called a vegetable?
YES
NO
1. Tomatoes fit the common cooking definition of a vegetable and are widely used in savory dishes.
2. There are many healthy ways to cook tomatoes, such as boiling and making soup.
3. Even if they are technically fruits, they are more commonly used as vegetables in daily meals.
1. Tomatoes grow from the flower of a plant and have seeds inside, which fits the scientific definition of a fruit.
2. Tomatoes are high in natural sugar, unlike most vegetables that are low in sugar.
3. If tomatoes are considered vegetables, people may get confused about basic plant science.
What do you think?
Now that you’ve read a bit more about this issue, visit kids.sciencenews.com/polls so you can vote in our debate. Vote YES if you think tomatoes should be called a vegetable or NO if you don’t. We’ll publish the results next week.
26. Why does the “YES” side think tomatoes should be called a vegetable?
A. Tomatoes are high in natural sugar.
B. Tomatoes are widely used as vegetables in cooking.

Task IV Spread warmth through mailboxes.
Students at a primary school in Hangzhou, with the help of their Chinese teacher, created a set of “Smile Mailboxes” that students can drop letters into to get warm replies from older classmates during hard times. In just one month, the mailboxes received over 800 letters from students.
The mailboxes offer handwritten notes from students of different grades sharing warm messages. For example, if you drop a letter about feeling nervous about exams, you might get a reply saying, “You have tried your best! Take it easy, you will get good results!”
Lin Xiaoyu, who teaches Chinese at Star Road Primary School, thought her students just might have the warmest words needed to bring comfort to peers in difficult times. “To read the sincere words from fellow students is really comforting,” she says.
Ms. Lin, along with social worker Chen Yue, worked with students on a project they called “Warm Post”. The project had two parts—one was the mailboxes, and the other was creating encouraging hand-copied newspapers. The two adults worked with students from Grade 3 to Grade 6. They had the same basic question for all the students: “What could you say to help or encourage someone else?”
Students working on the mailboxes thought of what they would like to hear. When they were ready, Ms. Lin trained them to write replies. Later, she divided the students into different teams to check and send the replies.
Dropping a letter about “feeling upset with classmates” brings you suggestions on how to get along with others. Helpful suggestions include: “write a small card to say you are sorry” or “share your snack with them”.
Dropping a letter about “worries about study” results in “words of encouragement and study tips”. This includes messages like: “Make a small plan every day and you will make progress step by step.” And “Ask teachers for help when you have difficulties.”
Other students took part in making encouraging hand-copied newspapers, which were put up around the school. Many newspapers had small stickers that students passing by could take off and keep. For example, one newspaper said “If you are tired, take a break”, and had take-off stickers with the words “You are great”.
29. Why did the students create the Smile Mailboxes?
A. To make money for their school. B. To encourage and comfort their peers.
C. To practice their writing skills. D. To learn how to post letters.
30. What can we know about the project from the passage?
A. It included mailboxes and encouraging hand-copied newspapers.
B. It asked students to give advice on Chinese learning.
C. It was named “Warm Post” by social worker Chen Yue.
D. It brought comfort to teachers from different grades.
31. Which words best describe Ms. Lin and her students?
A. Creative and caring. B. Organized and curious.
C. Honest and hard-working. D. Humorous and generous.
Task V Experience warm friendship in class.
C
Li Ming was staring out of the window, watching the leaves fall outside. Some of the kids were drawing pictures, and others just chatting. Their teacher had gone to the office. And when she returned there was a girl with her. The girl was new. She looked so shy and her clothes were simple and faded. The teacher introduced her to the class; the girl’s name was “Xiao Man”. She went and sat at a nearby seat beside Li Ming.
After class, Li Ming and his friends were talking together. They heard the new girl saying that she came from a small village and she was really looking forward to studying hard and catching up with others. This caught the attention of Li Ming and his friends. So one of them said quietly “hey new girl, your clothes look so old”. Another whispered “didn’t have enough money to buy new clothes? Do you have enough money to buy stationery at least?”, “poor little thing!”. Li Ming and his friends laughed in a low voice.
Xiao Man felt embarrassed and she lowered her head. The next day, similar things happened, they were still making fun of her.
One afternoon after school, Li Ming was walking home through the alley. He saw Xiao Man was sharing her bread with a stray cat, which was lying in front of an old house. The cat had a hurt leg and could not walk well. Xiao Man tried to wrap the cat’s leg with her scarf, but as she was doing it, an angry man came out from the house. He grabbed her by the arm and shouted at her for coming to his doorway. Xiao Man was begging him to let her go and that she wouldn’t come again, but the man wouldn’t let go.
Then suddenly the man was pulled backward and Xiao Man was let go. She saw that Li Ming had pulled the man’s sleeve. Li Ming pulled Xiao Man up and took the cat away from the doorway. The cat was so scared that it limped away quickly. The man got even angrier and was ready to hit Li Ming with a broom. But both Li Ming and Xiao Man ran as fast as they could and got away safely.
32. How did Li Ming and his friends treat Xiao Man at first?
A. They introduced her to their head teacher. B. They laughed at her clothes and poor family.

34. What did Li Ming and Xiao Man have in common?

35. What might happen next?
A. Li Ming would go on laughing at Xiao Man. B. The angry man would catch them again.
C. Li Ming and Xiao Man would become friends. D. Xiao Man would leave the school at once.
Task VI Explore birds' plastic nests.
D
Plastic is everywhere. According to the United Nations, over 8 million tons of plastic waste enters the world’s oceans every year. There’s plastic litter on the highest mountains and in the deepest parts of the sea.
Now plastic has been found in another unexpected place: in the nests of wild birds. According to a study published in the journal Environmental Pollution, many bird species are using small pieces of plastic litter as building materials for their nests.
Marta García is a biologist at the University of Barcelona, in Spain. She’s the study’s lead author. “For me, a bird nest made of plastic could be a symbol of our times,” she said. “They can’t find enough natural materials, so they use rubbish.”
García says the age we’re in now is the period in which human activity has had a huge influence on the natural environment. Birds using plastic waste in their nests is one clear example of that influence.
New nest materials
Wild birds build nests to protect their eggs and baby birds. Normally, they use natural materials like grass, twigs, leaves and feathers to build soft and strong nests.
But according to García’s study, of the 80 common bird species studied across Europe, 45 have been seen using plastic rubbish in their nests. Nearly three out of every four of those nests contained plastic waste, such as plastic bags, bottle caps, and plastic ropes. The others contained paper or cloth waste, such as old candy wrappers or cloth strips.
García said that she and her team first learned about birds using plastic in nests when they noticed photos shared by bird watchers online. They decided to learn more by doing a wider study. For their research, the scientists collected photos of bird nests from research papers, nature websites, and bird lover communities. They found examples from 23 countries across Europe. Some had been taken by scientists. Some had been taken by nature photographers. Many had been taken by common bird watchers who were just interested.
What does it mean?
Scientists aren’t sure why birds are choosing litter instead of natural materials. But they have theories. Some areas are losing natural plant materials as cities expand. Birds could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough grass or twigs. It’s also possible that birds are selecting plastic because it’s light and easy to carry. Or they’re attracted by its bright colors.
Scientists agree that plastic pollution harms wildlife in many ways. But it isn’t clear that the plastic in nests is directly hurting the birds. “It’s really a surprising example of the power of adaptation,” García said. “What are the long-term consequences of these adaptations? We don’t know yet.”
36. What does García mean by saying “a bird nest made of plastic could be a symbol of our times”?
A. Birds prefer light and bright plastic materials for nests.
B. All birds are now forced to build nests with plastic waste.
C. Plastic nests help birds protect their eggs better from enemies.
D. Human activities have caused great changes to the natural environment.
37. How did García and her team do their research on birds’ plastic nests?
A. By collecting and studying photos of nests from different sources.
B. By taking lots of photos of birds in controlled environments.
C. By watching birds build nests closely in their natural habitats.
D. By interviewing local bird watchers about their findings.
38. What does the underlined word “expand” most probably mean?
A. Shrinking. B. Growing larger. C. Disappearing. D. Moving.
39. What can we learn from García’s words in the last paragraph?
A. She plans to stop birds from using plastic to build nests.
B. She thinks birds should not change their nest-building habits.
C. She is sure that plastic pollution is good for wild birds.
D. She believes adaptation is amazing but its long-term results are unknown.
40. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Plastic Waste Is Harming All Wild Animals
B. Wild Birds Are in Great Danger Now
C. Wild Birds Are Using Trash to Build Their Nests
D. Scientists Photograph Birds Living with Plastic Waste

X Let's explore the amazing survival tricks in the natural world!
A)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在短文后表格中小题的空格里填入最恰当的单词,并回答小题。注意:第1-8小题每个空格只填1个单词,第9小题不少于20个词。
Have you ever watched a documentary about wild animals? A lion runs after a deer! A snake bites a frog! Is all nature like that? All about hunting and fighting? Or is that just what keeps our eyes glued to the TV screen? Let’s look at some animals that protect themselves in smart ways instead of fighting back.
The first and most common trick is camouflage. Camouflage is when an animal changes its color or shape to match the environment around it, so enemies cannot find it easily. For example, chameleons can change their skin color to match the leaves or tree trunks. This helps them hide from both enemies and prey.
The second trick is mimicry. Sometimes an animal will look just like another dangerous or bad-tasting animal to scare enemies away. This is called mimicry. For example, some non-poisonous butterflies have the same bright color patterns as poisonous ones. Enemies see the bright colors and stay away, thinking they are dangerous.
The third trick is group living. Some animals live in large groups to protect themselves. When there are many of them, they can watch for enemies together and help each other escape. For example, zebras live in groups. When a lion comes, the whole group runs together, and the stripes make it hard for the lion to pick out one single zebra.
We use the word “anti-predator strategies” for all of these kinds of ways. Sometimes an animal hides by itself. Sometimes it scares enemies away by looking like something dangerous. Sometimes it works together with others. So, it is nice to know that there are so many smart ways for animals to stay safe in the wild. We could pay more attention to the animals that do not always fight on TV.
Nature’s Amazing Survival Tricks
What are anti-predator strategies?
·All animals in nature need to ____56____ themselves from enemies.
·Different smart ways that animals use to stay safe are called anti-predator strategies.
Camouflage: Hide by Blending In
·An animal changes its color or shape to match the ____57____ around it.
·It hides itself so enemies can ____58____ find it easily.
Example: Chameleons
Mimicry: Scare by Looking Dangerous
·An animal ____59____ a dangerous or bad-tasting animal to scare enemies.
·Enemies ____60____ the animal as dangerous and stay away from it.
Group Living: Stay Safe Together
·Animals live in groups to watch for enemies and ____61____ each other escape.
·Large groups make it hard for enemies to ____62____ out a single animal.
Example: Zebras
Why do these strategies matter?
These smart survival tricks help keep ecosystems in ____63____ .
Share one example from your own life experience based on these survival tricks in at least 20 words.

【解析】
【导语】本文属于说明文,介绍中国长城是世界上最伟大的人造奇迹之一,讲述了古代工匠修建长城的艰苦环境,以及修建长城的主要目的是抵御外敌、保护家园。
【1题详解】
句意:在地球上最长的建筑上,你可以步行数千英里,欣赏连绵起伏的山峦与山谷。
根据“walk for thousands of miles”和常识,长城是地球上最长的建筑,longest“最长的”符合语境;long“长的”、longer“更长的”、the highest“最高的”均不符合。
【2题详解】
句意:他们必须先在恶劣天气和陡峭山峦中存活下来。
此处指代前文“the bravest ancient workers”,在句中作主语,用主格They“他们”;Their“他们的”、Themselves“他们自己”、Them“他们(宾格)”均不符合语法。
【3题详解】
句意:在北部地区,冬季气温会降至零下20度以下。
情态动词can后接动词原形,drop“下降”符合语法与语境;dropped(过去式)、fallen(过去分词)、dropping(现在分词)均不符合情态动词用法。
【4题详解】
句意:修建长城极其艰难。一些工匠成功完成了他们的部分,但许多人在工作中失去了生命。
此处修饰动词finished,用副词successfully“成功地”;succeed(动词)、success(名词)、successful(形容词)均不符合语法。
【5题详解】
句意:这是因为他们需要保护家园和人民免受外敌攻击。
此处引导表语从句解释原因,用because“因为”;because of后接名词/代词,instead“反而”、instead of“而不是”均不符合逻辑。

【13题详解】
句意:如果你走进洞穴深处,你会看到各种形状和大小的石头。
根据前后逻辑,走进洞穴深处是看到石头的条件,应用if引导条件状语从句。So“所以”,Though“虽然”,Before“在……之前”,均不符合。
【14题详解】
句意:在这里,你可以花时间观看被暖光照亮的彩色石头。
固定搭配“spend time (in) doing sth.”意为“花费时间做某事”,因此应用动名词looking。
【15题详解】
句意:如果你走得更深,你甚至可能看到罕见的蝙蝠和古代石刻。
前文已经提到walk deep into the cave,此处表示“走得更深”,需要用比较级;deep作副词时指具体的空间深度,deeply指抽象的情感深度,这里指洞穴空间的更深,副词deep的比较级是deeper。

Task III Decide if tomatoes should be called a vegetable.
A
The big debate
Should tomatoes be called a vegetable?
When you hear the word “vegetable”, you might think of carrots, cabbages and cucumbers—not tomato juice or cherry tomato salad. But according to the US Supreme Court, tomatoes are a vegetable because they are usually cooked with main dishes. However, many plant scientists say tomatoes belong to the fruit group. What do you think? Should tomatoes be called a vegetable?
YES
NO
1. Tomatoes fit the common cooking definition of a vegetable and are widely used in savory dishes.
2. There are many healthy ways to cook tomatoes, such as boiling and making soup.
3. Even if they are technically fruits, they are more commonly used as vegetables in daily meals.
1. Tomatoes grow from the flower of a plant and have seeds inside, which fits the scientific definition of a fruit.
2. Tomatoes are high in natural sugar, unlike most vegetables that are low in sugar.
3. If tomatoes are considered vegetables, people may get confused about basic plant science.

Task IV Spread warmth through mailboxes.
Students at a primary school in Hangzhou, with the help of their Chinese teacher, created a set of “Smile Mailboxes” that students can drop letters into to get warm replies from older classmates during hard times. In just one month, the mailboxes received over 800 letters from students.
The mailboxes offer handwritten notes from students of different grades sharing warm messages. For example, if you drop a letter about feeling nervous about exams, you might get a reply saying, “You have tried your best! Take it easy, you will get good results!”
Lin Xiaoyu, who teaches Chinese at Star Road Primary School, thought her students just might have the warmest words needed to bring comfort to peers in difficult times. “To read the sincere words from fellow students is really comforting,” she says.
Ms. Lin, along with social worker Chen Yue, worked with students on a project they called “Warm Post”. The project had two parts—one was the mailboxes, and the other was creating encouraging hand-copied newspapers. The two adults worked with students from Grade 3 to Grade 6. They had the same basic question for all the students: “What could you say to help or encourage someone else?”
Students working on the mailboxes thought of what they would like to hear. When they were ready, Ms. Lin trained them to write replies. Later, she divided the students into different teams to check and send the replies.
Dropping a letter about “feeling upset with classmates” brings you suggestions on how to get along with others. Helpful suggestions include: “write a small card to say you are sorry” or “share your snack with them”.
Dropping a letter about “worries about study” results in “words of encouragement and study tips”. This includes messages like: “Make a small plan every day and you will make progress step by step.” And “Ask teachers for help when you have difficulties.”
Other students took part in making encouraging hand-copied newspapers, which were put up around the school. Many newspapers had small stickers that students passing by could take off and keep. For example, one newspaper said “If you are tired, take a break”, and had take-off stickers with the words “You are great”.
29. Why did the students create the Smile Mailboxes?
A. To make money for their school. B. To encourage and comfort their peers.
C. To practice their writing skills. D. To learn how to post letters.
30. What can we know about the project from the passage?
A. It included mailboxes and encouraging hand-copied newspapers.
B. It asked students to give advice on Chinese learning.
C. It was named “Warm Post” by social worker Chen Yue.
D. It brought comfort to teachers from different grades.
31. Which words best describe Ms. Lin and her students?
A. Creative and caring. B. Organized and curious.
C. Honest and hard-working. D. Humorous and generous.
【答案】29. B 30. A 31. A
【解析】

Task V Experience warm friendship in class.
C
Li Ming was staring out of the window, watching the leaves fall outside. Some of the kids were drawing pictures, and others just chatting. Their teacher had gone to the office. And when she returned there was a girl with her. The girl was new. She looked so shy and her clothes were simple and faded. The teacher introduced her to the class; the girl’s name was “Xiao Man”. She went and sat at a nearby seat beside Li Ming.
After class, Li Ming and his friends were talking together. They heard the new girl saying that she came from a small village and she was really looking forward to studying hard and catching up with others. This caught the attention of Li Ming and his friends. So one of them said quietly “hey new girl, your clothes look so old”. Another whispered “didn’t have enough money to buy new clothes? Do you have enough money to buy stationery at least?”, “poor little thing!”. Li Ming and his friends laughed in a low voice.
Xiao Man felt embarrassed and she lowered her head. The next day, similar things happened, they were still making fun of her.
One afternoon after school, Li Ming was walking home through the alley. He saw Xiao Man was sharing her bread with a stray cat, which was lying in front of an old house. The cat had a hurt leg and could not walk well. Xiao Man tried to wrap the cat’s leg with her scarf, but as she was doing it, an angry man came out from the house. He grabbed her by the arm and shouted at her for coming to his doorway. Xiao Man was begging him to let her go and that she wouldn’t come again, but the man wouldn’t let go.
Then suddenly the man was pulled backward and Xiao Man was let go. She saw that Li Ming had pulled the man’s sleeve. Li Ming pulled Xiao Man up and took the cat away from the doorway. The cat was so scared that it limped away quickly. The man got even angrier and was ready to hit Li Ming with a broom. But both Li Ming and Xiao Man ran as fast as they could and got away safely.

【导语】本文主要讲述了李明和同学们起初嘲笑新同学小曼,后来李明看到小曼帮助受伤的流浪猫并勇敢地从愤怒的男子手中救下她,故事暗示两人关系可能因此改变。
【32题详解】
根据第二段“So one of them said quietly ‘hey new girl, your clothes look so old’. Another whispered ‘didn't have enough money to buy new clothes?...’ Li Ming and his friends laughed in a low voice.”可知,李明和他的朋友们一开始嘲笑小曼的衣服和贫穷。
【33题详解】
根据第一段开头“Li Ming was staring out of the window” →b(李明看窗外)。随后“The teacher introduced her to the class” →a(小曼被介绍入班)。倒数第二段“He saw Xiao Man was sharing her bread with a stray cat... a hurt leg” →d(李明看到小曼帮助受伤的猫)。最后一段“Both Li Ming and Xiao Man ran as fast as they could and got away safely” →c(两人从愤怒男子那里逃跑)。正确顺序为 b→a→d→c。
【34题详解】
小曼用自己的围巾试图包扎猫的腿(倒数第二段“tried to wrap the cat’s leg with her scarf”),李明则把猫从门廊处带走(“took the cat away from the doorway”),两人都对猫表现出善意。
【35题详解】
李明之前嘲笑小曼,但后来勇敢地救了她,两人一起逃跑,这种经历很可能使他们成为朋友。选项 C 符合逻辑发展。
Task VI Explore birds' plastic nests.
D
Plastic is everywhere. According to the United Nations, over 8 million tons of plastic waste enters the world’s oceans every year. There’s plastic litter on the highest mountains and in the deepest parts of the sea.
Now plastic has been found in another unexpected place: in the nests of wild birds. According to a study published in the journal Environmental Pollution, many bird species are using small pieces of plastic litter as building materials for their nests.
Marta García is a biologist at the University of Barcelona, in Spain. She’s the study’s lead author. “For me, a bird nest made of plastic could be a symbol of our times,” she said. “They can’t find enough natural materials, so they use rubbish.”
García says the age we’re in now is the period in which human activity has had a huge influence on the natural environment. Birds using plastic waste in their nests is one clear example of that influence.
New nest materials
Wild birds build nests to protect their eggs and baby birds. Normally, they use natural materials like grass, twigs, leaves and feathers to build soft and strong nests.
But according to García’s study, of the 80 common bird species studied across Europe, 45 have been seen using plastic rubbish in their nests. Nearly three out of every four of those nests contained plastic waste, such as plastic bags, bottle caps, and plastic ropes. The others contained paper or cloth waste, such as old candy wrappers or cloth strips.
García said that she and her team first learned about birds using plastic in nests when they noticed photos shared by bird watchers online. They decided to learn more by doing a wider study. For their research, the scientists collected photos of bird nests from research papers, nature websites, and bird lover communities. They found examples from 23 countries across Europe. Some had been taken by scientists. Some had been taken by nature photographers. Many had been taken by common bird watchers who were just interested.
What does it mean?
Scientists aren’t sure why birds are choosing litter instead of natural materials. But they have theories. Some areas are losing natural plant materials as cities expand. Birds could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough grass or twigs. It’s also possible that birds are selecting plastic because it’s light and easy to carry. Or they’re attracted by its bright colors.
Scientists agree that plastic pollution harms wildlife in many ways. But it isn’t clear that the plastic in nests is directly hurting the birds. “It’s really a surprising example of the power of adaptation,” García said. “What are the long-term consequences of these adaptations? We don’t know yet.”
36. What does García mean by saying “a bird nest made of plastic could be a symbol of our times”?
A. Birds prefer light and bright plastic materials for nests.
B. All birds are now forced to build nests with plastic waste.
C. Plastic nests help birds protect their eggs better from enemies.
D. Human activities have caused great changes to the natural environment.
37. How did García and her team do their research on birds’ plastic nests?
A. By collecting and studying photos of nests from different sources.
B. By taking lots of photos of birds in controlled environments.
C. By watching birds build nests closely in their natural habitats.
D. By interviewing local bird watchers about their findings.
38. What does the underlined word “expand” most probably mean?
A. Shrinking. B. Growing larger. C. Disappearing. D. Moving.
39. What can we learn from García’s words in the last paragraph?
A. She plans to stop birds from using plastic to build nests.
B. She thinks birds should not change their nest-building habits.
C. She is sure that plastic pollution is good for wild birds.
D. She believes adaptation is amazing but its long-term results are unknown.
40. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Plastic Waste Is Harming All Wild Animals
B. Wild Birds Are in Great Danger Now
C. Wild Birds Are Using Trash to Build Their Nests
D. Scientists Photograph Birds Living with Plastic Waste
【答案】36. D 37. A 38. B 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了生物学家玛尔塔·加西亚关于野生鸟类使用塑料垃圾筑巢的一项研究。文章阐述了人类活动对自然环境造成的深远影响、科研团队的研究方法、鸟类选择塑料筑巢的原因,并引导人们反思这种非自然适应行为可能带来的长期未知后果。
【36题详解】
根据第三、四段中“…a bird nest made of plastic could be a symbol of our times…”以及“García says the age we're in now is the period in which human activity has had a huge influence on the natural environment.”可知,加西亚认为塑料鸟巢之所以能成为时代的象征,是因为人类活动已经对自然环境产生了巨大影响,鸟类使用塑料垃圾筑巢正是这种影响的典型体现。
【37题详解】
根据第七段第三句“For their research, the scientists collected photos of bird nests from research papers, nature websites, and bird lover communities.”可知,加西亚和她的团队是通过收集和研究来自科学论文、自然网站以及观鸟爱好者社区等不同渠道的鸟巢照片来进行调查的。
【38题详解】
根据第八段中“Some areas are losing natural plant materials as cities expand. Birds could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough grass or twigs.”的上下文线索可知,随着城市的“expand”,一些地区正在失去天然植物材料,鸟类因为找不到足够的草或树枝而开始使用垃圾。由此可推断出,城市的“expand”会导致自然绿地缩减,即表示城市正在“扩大/扩张”,其含义与B选项中的“Growing larger”最为接近。
【39题详解】
根据最后一段中的“‘It’s really a surprising example of the power of adaptation,’ García said. ‘What are the long-term consequences of these adaptations? We don’t know yet.’”可知,加西亚认为鸟类利用塑料筑巢展现了令人惊叹的适应能力,但这种适应改变会带来什么长期后果,目前人们还不得而知。
【40题详解】
纵观全文,文章首段即指出在野生鸟类巢穴中发现了塑料垃圾,后续段落围绕这一现象的具体科学调查结果、鸟类使用塑料筑巢的原因(由于城市扩张、缺乏天然材料、塑料较轻等)以及这种适应性行为的深远影响展开论述。整篇文章主要介绍野生鸟类正在使用垃圾筑巢的社会环境现象,高度概括了文章的中心思想,因此“Wild Birds Are Using Trash to Build Their Nests”最适合作为文章的标题。

句意:在杭州举办的第19届亚运会吸引了来自全世界的极大关注,各式各样的智能机器人为运动员和参观者提供服务。汉语提示是“注意”,对应的英文单词是attention。固定搭配:draw attention from...表示“吸引来自……的关注”,huge attention表示“极大的关注”,符合句子语境。
【42题详解】
句意:超过500台服务机器人参与了亚运会的相关工作。汉语提示是“进入,参加”,对应的英文单词是enter。句子时态为一般过去时(后文用了were divided/could guide等过去式),所以enter要变为过去式entered,表示“参与了亚运会的工作”。
【43题详解】
句意:一些机器人可以凭借它们自己的定位系统独立引导参观者,而另一些则被用来配送食物和物品。汉语提示是“自己的”,对应的英文单词是own。固定搭配:one’s own+名词 表示“某人自己的……”,这里their own positioning system表示“它们自己的定位系统”,符合语法和语义。
【44题详解】
句意:一台名为“小易”的机器人完成配送任务的速度比人工服务记录还要快。汉语提示是“记录”,对应的英文单词是record。句子表达的是“机器人完成任务比人工服务记录更快”,human service record表示“人工服务的记录”,符合语境。
【45题详解】
句意:一些机器人出现了故障并短暂失去控制,但它们很快自我修正并继续工作。汉语提示是“控制”,对应的英文单词是control。固定搭配:out of control表示“失去控制”,是英语中的常用短语,符合“机器人短暂失控”的语境。

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者在朋友的邀请下听了《黄河大合唱》后深受触动,进而了解了人民音乐家冼星海的生平与创作,点明他的音乐饱含爱国情怀,至今仍打动人心。
【46题详解】
句意:上个月,我的一个朋友带我去听了一场中国革命音乐会。此处用了双重所有格结构“a friend of mine”,表示“我的一个朋友”,需将形容词性物主代词my变为名词性物主代词mine,表示所属关系。
【47题详解】
句意:由大型管弦乐队演奏的《黄河大合唱》几乎让我哭了出来。固定搭配make somebody do something(让某人做某事),make后接不带to的动词原形作宾语补足语,因此填cry。
【48题详解】
句意:冼星海是中国著名的民间音乐家。根据语境,此处需要表示“音乐家”的名词,music意为“音乐”,对应的职业名词为musician,符合“著名的民间音乐家”的语义。
【49题详解】
句意:遗憾的是,冼星海年仅40岁就因病去世了。此处需要副词修饰整个句子,表示“遗憾地、令人难过地”,因此将形容词sad变为副词sadly,句首首字母需大写。
【50题详解】
句意:他创作了许多优美的作品,其中最著名的是《黄河大合唱》。此处表示“众多作品中最著名的”,需用形容词的最高级形式,famous的最高级为most famous,前面加定冠词“the”修饰。

【导语】本文是一篇对话,是苏华和李江之间的交流。两人围绕Netflix电视剧《三体》展开讨论,赞扬了该剧对原著的尊重、在海外获得的良好反响,并交流了中国优秀文化作品走向世界的积极意义。
【51题详解】
句意:它的故事不只是精彩的情节 —— 更是一扇了解中国思想与价值观的窗口。此处需要一个副词短语,在句中作状语。因为空后有“just wonderful plots”,且破折号后用“they’re a window into Chinese thinking and values”进行补充说明,表示其内涵“不仅仅”是精彩的情节,还是了解中国思维的窗口,所以选择more than表示“不仅仅/不只是”。
【52题详解】
句意:里面每个科学术语我其实并不能完全看懂,但我相信制作团队真心尊重原著。此处需要一个动词原形,在句中作谓语。因为空前有否定助动词“don’t really”,且空后宾语为“every scientific term in it”,结合常识表示我并不能完全“理解”里面的科学术语,所以选择understand表示“理解/明白”。
【53题详解】
句意:这是我第一次看到由国际制作团队来讲述中国科幻故事。此处需要一个形容词/序数词,在句中作定语。因为空后“time to see a Chinese sci-fi story…”,固定搭配“It’s my first time to do sth.”(这是我第一次做某事),表示首次看到由国际团队制作的中国科幻故事,所以选择first表示“第一/首次”。
【54题详解】
句意:事实上,讲述我们国家的作品在国内和海外都有很多。此处需要一个副词,在句中作状语。因为空前是固定搭配“both at home and abroad”(在国内外/海内外),表示关于我国的作品在“国内外”都非常丰富,所以选择abroad表示“在国外/海外”。
【55题详解】
句意:故事能够搭建起不同文化、不同时代之间的桥梁,这实在太令人惊叹了。此处需要一个形容词,在句中作表语。固定句型“It’s+adj.+how/that引导的从句”(令人……的是),空后陈述故事能够跨越文化和时代架起桥梁这一事实,结合语境表示这十分“令人惊叹”,所以选择amazing表示“令人惊叹的/奇妙的”。

X Let's explore the amazing survival tricks in the natural world!
A)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在短文后表格中小题的空格里填入最恰当的单词,并回答小题。注意:第1-8小题每个空格只填1个单词,第9小题不少于20个词。
Have you ever watched a documentary about wild animals? A lion runs after a deer! A snake bites a frog! Is all nature like that? All about hunting and fighting? Or is that just what keeps our eyes glued to the TV screen? Let’s look at some animals that protect themselves in smart ways instead of fighting back.
The first and most common trick is camouflage. Camouflage is when an animal changes its color or shape to match the environment around it, so enemies cannot find it easily. For example, chameleons can change their skin color to match the leaves or tree trunks. This helps them hide from both enemies and prey.
The second trick is mimicry. Sometimes an animal will look just like another dangerous or bad-tasting animal to scare enemies away. This is called mimicry. For example, some non-poisonous butterflies have the same bright color patterns as poisonous ones. Enemies see the bright colors and stay away, thinking they are dangerous.
The third trick is group living. Some animals live in large groups to protect themselves. When there are many of them, they can watch for enemies together and help each other escape. For example, zebras live in groups. When a lion comes, the whole group runs together, and the stripes make it hard for the lion to pick out one single zebra.
We use the word “anti-predator strategies” for all of these kinds of ways. Sometimes an animal hides by itself. Sometimes it scares enemies away by looking like something dangerous. Sometimes it works together with others. So, it is nice to know that there are so many smart ways for animals to stay safe in the wild. We could pay more attention to the animals that do not always fight on TV.
