B 1n 2019,after retiring from her career as a social worker,Ane Freed-Kernis decided to build a home workshop and devote all of her free time to stone carving()."I might be covered head to toe in dust but I'm happy-it was something I needed more of in my life when I hit 60."she says. This appeal has its origins in Freed-Kernis'childhood.Growing up on her father's farm in Denmark,she used to wander through the fields with her eyes fixed on the ground,looking for stones to add to her collection."I've always been drawn to the shapes and textures(质t地)of stones..”she says.. After moving to England in 1977 and training as a social worker,Freed-Kernis soon became occupied with her busy career and the demands of raising her son.Stones were the last thing on her mind,until her father died in 2005."He took a stone carving course in his retirement,and I always thought stone seemed so fun but never had the time to look into it myself,"she says."After he died,I became determined to learn in his honour." Signing up for a week-long stone carving course at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.Freed-Kernis began to learn how to turn a block of rock into well-designed shapes."It was really scary at the start because you would spend hours just hammering(锤打).” Now 65,Freed-Kernis has a thriving small business built largely through word of mouth.She creates 12 to 15 pieces a year that can take anywhere from a few days to three weeks to complete,while the prices range from E200 to C3,000. "I'm making smaller ones."she says."I don't have to depend on the money much,so I want to keep prices in the range that people can afford,mainly just covering costs and labour." 第35页，共40页 24.Freed-Kernis was first attracted by stones when A.she was 60.

C In San Francisco,a large group of sea lions move themselves out of the bay waters and hang out on PIER 39,which is a popular tourist destination.According to dock (officials,this is the most sea lions seen in the region in 15 years. "Over 1,000 sea lions have been counted this week."PIER 39 harbormaster Sheila Chandor told many different media"The surge in sea lions is usually a good sign of their strong population and healthy living environment."said Adam Ratner,,Director of Conservation Engagement at the Marine Mammal(海洋哺乳动物)Center in Sausalito,.California. "California sea lions are sentinels()of the ocean,"Ratner said.Their population to some extent reflects the health of the ocean.Therefore,seeing a large number of California sea lions is clearly a good thing. = For nearly 35 years,the slippery()residents have been a star attraction for tourists.That autumn in 1989,PIER 39 had just been repaired,but the ships had not yet been moved back.At that moment,the sea lions'unexpected arrival not only attracted fans but also created enemies.According to a website,some dock residents and workers were scared away by the strong and very unpleasant smell and noise of their new neighbors,while others saw these animals as a bright spot after thedestructive Loma Prieta earthquake. The officials sought help from the Marine Mammal Center to find a way to deal with sea lions.Ratner said that the final decision is to let the sea lions stay and coexist with humans."The fact proves that this is really a good thing."he said."This is just a proof of how we can truly work together and think about how we can share our coasts with marine mammals and other wildlife in a way that benefits all the parties involved." 28.How does the author start the text?

D With mounting evidence that nanoplastic particles(纳米塑料微粒)are in our bodies,there is growing concern over their potential health impacts.Now a new study finds a relation between nanoplastics in the brain and a higher risk for Parkinson's disease. Namoplastics appear when the plastic packaging breaks down into small pieces.These particles can enter the blood and cross the blood brain barrier,with European researchers reporting earlier this year that in animal experiments,it can take two hours or less for certain nanoplastics to reach the brain after being eaten. In humans,it's long been thought that environmental factors play a role in Parkinson's disease but specific causes are still unclear.The new study from the Duke University School of Medicine details how nanoplastics cause chemical changes in the brain that can,in turn,make Parkinson's and related types of diseases more likely. That's because the nanoplastics attract a protein()called alpha-synuclein,known to play a role in Parkinson's and related disorders.In lab and animal studies,the plastic's interaction with it leads to increases in the affected neurons in the brain.This interaction appears related to favorable conditions in which Parkinson's can develop. The study authors note that Parkinson's disease existed long before nanoplastics appeared in the environment,but they think that this"nanoplastics pollution in the human brain"may prove a new poison. Further,the Duke team led by Dr.Andrew West notes that Parkinson's disease is among the fastest growing nervous diseases in the world,even as the amazing amount of plastic pollution builds across the planet.This is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. "The technology to monitor nanoplastices is still at the earliest possible stages and not ready yet to answer all the questions we have,"West said."But hopefully efforts in this area will increase rapidly,as we see what these particles can do in our experiments." 32.Where is the text most probably taken from? A.A science journal. B.A product advertisement. C.An art magazine. D.A travel brochure 33.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The conditions leading to Parkinson's B.The cause of alpha-synuclein's appearance. C.The principle of nanoplastics'impact on Parkinson's. D.The difference between Parkinson's and related disorders 第37页，共40页 34.What can he inferred from West's words in the last paragraph? A.Plastic pollution will by no means be avoided. B.Nanoplastics are impossible to deal with at present C.Fewer people will suffer from Parkinson's in the future. D.More efforts in the study of nanoplastics will be put in. 35.What is a suitable title for the text? A.Nanoplastics may promote Parkinson's disease B.Nanoplastics can enter the brain through blood C.Alpha synuclein plays a role in Parkinson's disease. D.Nanoplastics will do serious harm to human health 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Roommates can provide support,creating a shared space where memories are made and challenges are faced together. 36 -but it takes some efforts to make it work.Here are some tips for living peacefully with roommates.
