People have always been scared of sharks, but Jaws made things ____23____ (bad). Some people were afraid of swimming in the sea, while others started fishing for sharks, ____24____ (kill) as many as they could. After 1975, the number of large sharks around America fell quickly. This was not only due ____25____ the fear of shark, but also finning. Finning is a type of fishing where sharks are caught and their fins cut off. Finning kills ____26____ (million) of sharks a year. In 1980, Peter Benchley was diving ____27____ he came across an awful sight. The sea floor was covered with dead sharks because of finning. He came to see people as a danger to sharks, rather than the other way round. From that day on, he fought ____28____ (protect) sharks. ____29____ (fortunate), some people began to protect sharks. Today, more people than ever want to protect them from ____30____ (extinct). 【答案】21. was attacked 22. a 23. worse 24. killing 25. to 26. millions 27. when 28. to protect 29. Fortunately 30. extinction 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述电影《大白鲨》加深了人们对大白鲨的恐惧，导致大量鲨鱼被捕杀、割鳍，原著作者目睹惨状后转变观念，投身鲨鱼保护，如今越来越多人努力避免鲨鱼走向灭绝。 【21题详解】 考查时态语态。句意：1975年的电影《大白鲨》描绘了这样一幕：一名女子在漆黑的海里游泳时遭到大白鲨袭击，最后被鲨鱼吞噬，这让人们认为大白鲨是一种危险的动物。attack在从句中作谓语，与was eaten并列，为一般过去时，主语a woman和attack是被动关系，主语为单数，用一般过去时被动语态，填was attacked。 【22题详解】 考查冠词。句意同上。animal是可数名词单数，dangerous以辅音音素开头，此处表泛指“一种危险动物”，用不定冠词a。 【23题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：人们一直害怕鲨鱼，但《大白鲨》让情况变得更糟。结合语境，电影让原本害怕鲨鱼的情况进一步恶化，暗含对比，用bad的比较级worse，作宾补。 【24题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：一些人害怕下海游泳，另一些人则开始捕捞鲨鱼，尽可能多地捕杀它们。前面主句动作started fishing for sharks带来“捕杀鲨鱼”这个自然而然的结果，用现在分词killing作结果状语。 【25题详解】 考查介词。句意：这不仅是因为人们惧怕鲨鱼，还因为割鱼鳍产业。固定搭配due to意为“由于，因为”符合句意。 【26题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：割鳍捕捞每年会杀死数百万条鲨鱼。固定短语millions of表示“数百万的”，million前无具体数字时，必须加s并搭配of。 【27题详解】 考查连词。句意：1980 年， Peter Benchley正在潜水，这时他看见了一幕惨不忍睹的景象。固定句型be doing sth. when... 意为“正在做某事，这时突然……”，所以填连词when。 【28题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：从那天起，他为保护鲨鱼而奔走抗争。fight后接不定式to do表行动的目的，fight to protect sharks表示“为保护鲨鱼而抗争”。 【29题详解】 考查副词。句意：幸运的是，一部分人开始主动保护鲨鱼。空格修饰整个句子，需把形容词fortunate变为副词fortunately，句首首字母大写。 【30题详解】 考查名词。句意：如今，比以往更多的人想要保护鲨鱼，避免它们走向灭绝。介词from后接名词作宾语，动词extinct对应的名词形式为extinction，protect... from extinction 意为“保护…… 免于灭绝”。 Ⅲ. 阅读理解 (共16小题，每小题2.5分；满分40分) 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 A In Mexico, the “Day of the Dead” (Día de los Muertos) is one of the most important holidays. Celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, it is a time for families to remember loved ones who have died. Unlike many other cultures, where death is a sad topic, Mexicans treat the Day of the Dead as a joyful celebration. They believe that during this time, the spirits of the dead return to the world of the living to be with their families. To prepare for the holiday, families build special tables called ofrendas. These are covered with colourful cloth and decorated with flowers, candles, and photographs of the dead. Families also put the favourite foods and drinks of their loved ones on the ofrendas. A special kind of bread called pan de muerto (bread of the dead) is baked, and sugar skulls (骷髅) with the names of the dead written on them are made. All of these are meant to welcome the spirits back home. Some traditions of the Day of the Dead go back more than 3,000 years, to the time of the Aztecs (阿兹特克人). The Aztecs believed that death was not the end, but a continuation of life in another form. When the Spanish arrived in Mexico in the 16th century, they brought their own traditions. Over time, the Aztec traditions mixed with Spanish Catholic customs to create the holiday we know today. Although the Day of the Dead is a Mexican tradition, it is now celebrated in many other countries too, including the United States, Spain, and the Philippines. In some places, it has become less about religious belief and more of a cultural celebration. However, for most Mexican families, it remains a deeply meaningful time to honour the memory of those who have passed away and to celebrate the cycle of life and death. 31. How do Mexicans feel about the Day of the Dead? A. They treat it as a sad day for crying. B. They treat it as a joyful celebration. C. They feel frightened of the spirits. D. They ignore it like any other day. 32. What is an ofrenda? A. A special table built to welcome the spirits. B. A type of bread served during the holiday. C. A song sung at festivals. D. A costume worn during the Day of the Dead. 33. Where do the oldest traditions of the Day of the Dead come from? A. The Spanish. B. The United States. C. The Philippines. D. The Aztecs. 34. What would be the best title for the passage? A. The Foods of the Day of the Dead B. How the Aztecs Built Their Temples C. The Day of the Dead: A Joyful Celebration of Life and Death D. Why Mexico Stopped Celebrating Traditional Holidays 【答案】31. B 32. A 33. D 34. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了墨西哥亡灵节的基本信息、庆祝方式、历史背景和现状。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Unlike many other cultures, where death is a sad topic, Mexicans treat the Day of the Dead as a joyful celebration.(与许多将死亡视为悲伤话题的其他文化不同，墨西哥人把亡灵节看作是一个欢乐的庆典。)”可知，墨西哥人认为亡灵节是一个欢乐的节日。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To prepare for the holiday, families build special tables called ofrendas.(为了准备这个节日，每个家庭都会制作一张名为祭坛的特殊桌子。)”和“All of these are meant to welcome the spirits back home.(所有这些都是为了欢迎亡灵回家。)”可知，祭坛是为了迎接亡灵回家而搭建的特殊桌子。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段中的“Some traditions of the Day of the Dead go back more than 3,000 years, to the time of the Aztecs.(亡灵节的一些传统可以追溯到3000多年前的阿兹特克人时代。)”可知，亡灵节最古老的传统来源于阿兹特克人。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段引出墨西哥的亡灵节是一个欢乐的庆典；第二段介绍了节日的庆祝方式；第三段追溯了节日的历史起源；第四段总结了该节日的现状。第一段中“Mexicans treat the Day of the Dead as a joyful celebration(墨西哥人将亡灵节视为一个欢乐的庆祝活动)”和第四段中“for most Mexican families, it remains a deeply meaningful time to honour the memory of those who have passed away and to celebrate the cycle of life and death(对于大多数墨西哥家庭来说，这仍然是一个纪念已故者和庆祝生与死循环的非常有意义的时刻)”收尾结合，强调了墨西哥亡灵节庆祝生死循环的欢乐性质，由此可推测，选项C“亡灵节：对生与死的欢乐庆典”最能全面准确地概括文章主旨。 B Offer a seagull (海鸥) fresh fish and chips, and they’ll take the fish every time. UK researchers have discovered that, given a choice, seagulls prefer seafood to human-made options. In fact, finds the study, even seagulls raised on bread and cat food will choose fish. “Our results suggest that, even when raised on an ‘urban’ diet of foods found only around people, these chicks might be unlikely to seek out urban foods as adults,” says lead author Emma Inzani, a PhD researcher at the Centre for Ecology and Conservation in the University of Exeter, UK. “Human- associated foods are often both reliably present and easy to obtain — but when fish is available they clearly prefer it.” The team of seagull researchers has previously found that seagulls are more likely to want food that has been handled by people rather than left alone, but they’re less likely to steal from people who stare them down. In this latest study,27 herring gulls (银鸥) were raised in captivity (圈养). The birds had all been rescued after falling off roofs in Cornwall, and were later freed. Half of the chicks had access to food that was 80% bread and cat food, and 20% fish and mussels (贻贝) . The other half of the chicks got the opposite spread. At regular intervals every few days, the researchers presented the baby gulls with bowls of all four foods. and tracked what they chose. All of the birds consistently ate the fish, and very few of them ever tried the bread. “Animals can live and explore urban areas for human food waste,” says senior author Dr. Neeltje Boogert. “However, this does not necessarily mean they’re thriving or that they prefer this food, rather than making the best of a bad situation,” adding, “More research is needed to investigate how the food young animals receive affects their later life, including their food choices, health and breeding.” 35. What do seagulls like best according to-UK researchers? A. Cat foods. B. Plant seeds. C. Potato chips. D. Ocean creatures. 36. What can we infer about the herring gulls? A. They were caught in the wild. B. They preferred mussels to fish. C. They were released in the end. D. They stole food from people. 37. What will Dr. Neeltje Boogert probably agree with? A. Animals in urban areas mainly feed on food waste. B. Seagulls rely on food waste to go through difficulty. C. It is clear how animals’ experience affects their life. D. More proof is needed to show seagulls’ food choice. 38. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Seagulls’ Preference for Food B. New Living Habits of Seagulls C. Seagulls’ Choices of Habitats D. Secrets of Seagulls’ Daily Diet 【答案】35. D 36. C 37. D 38. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国研究人员关于海鸥食物偏好的研究结果，探讨了海鸥在面对不同食物选择时的行为，并强调了这一发现对于理解海鸥食性及其对后期生活影响的重要性。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Offer a seagull (海鸥) fresh fish and chips, and they’ll take the fish every time. UK researchers have discovered that, given a choice, seagulls prefer seafood to human-made options. (给海鸥新鲜的鱼和薯条，它们每次都会吃鱼。英国研究人员发现，如果可以选择，海鸥更喜欢海鲜而不是人类制造的食物)”可知，海鸥最喜欢的是海洋生物。故选D。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“The birds had all been rescued after falling off roofs in Cornwall, and were later freed. (这些鸟都是从康沃尔的屋顶上掉下来后获救的，后来都被释放了)”可知，这些银鸥最终被释放了。故选C。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“More research is needed to investigate how the food young animals receive affects their later life, including their food choices, health and breeding. (需要更多的研究来调查幼年动物接受的食物如何影响它们的晚年生活，包括它们的食物选择、健康和繁殖)”可知，Dr. Neeltje Boogert认为需要更多的证据来展示海鸥的食物选择。故选D。 【38题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段“Offer a seagull fresh fish and chips, and they’ll take the fish every time. UK researchers have discovered that, given a choice, seagulls prefer seafood to human - made options. (给海鸥新鲜的鱼和薯条，它们每次都会吃鱼。英国研究人员发现，如果可以选择，海鸥更喜欢海鲜而不是人类制造的食物)”可知，文章主要讨论了海鸥对食物的偏好，所以“海鸥对食物的偏好”适合作为文章标题。故选A。 C I grew up hearing, “Figure it out, but don’t look it up.” I use this advice when I’m tempted (诱惑) to turn to a search engine for answers. Should all of us limit our use of technology? Nicholas Carr, the author of The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, says that we should take some time away from screens. “Deep thinking happens only when our minds are calm and attentive.” It is difficult to focus while we are using the Internet. People tend to look up a question and end up skimming (浏览) through unrelated information. Some people might not even notice when they start mindlessly clicking. In “Cognitive Offloading: How the Internet Is Changing the Human Brain”, Philip Perry describes a test that compared two groups. One group couldn’t use any sort of device to answer questions. The other group was allowed to use Google. The group that had access to their smartphones immediately looked up answers on the Internet. The group without smartphones were quicker at answering questions because they didn’t reach for their smartphones. While it’s true that the Internet gives us answers quickly and reliably, we may forget that we can get the answers so easily. David Price, a guest blogger on a website, says that teaching may be getting easier with Google because parents can now use the Internet to help with their kids’ homework. This led me to think about our schooldays. When my class had a math test, most of us used calculators (计算器) at every opportunity even though everyone in that room was able to solve each problem. The Internet is like that because we know the answers to many questions we search for. We have to at least attempt to use our minds for problem-solving so we don’t forget how to do so. If we always turn to technology for answers, we’ll never learn anything on our own. I understand that the problems with technology are only when it is used in a certain way, but it’s not the solution to every problem. The positives of technology don’t remove the negatives. It’s time to take a step back from technology and take a break from our devices. 39. What may happen when we’re using the Internet? A. We will be in a good mood. B. We will become less efficient. C. We will find it hard to think deeply. D. We will respond quickly to information. 40. What does the test in Paragraph 3 show? A. People are easily tempted by the information on the Internet. B. People don’t have to rely on the Internet all the time. C. A limit to the spread of the Internet is necessary. D. Webs can offer answers more reliably. 41. Why does the author mention his school math test? A. To show different learning methods at different times. B. To stress the importance of learning by ourselves. C. To express his agreement to Price’s opinion. D. To praise the development of technology. 42. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Is teaching becoming easier with parents’ help? B. Is the Internet teaching people not to think? C. How to use the Internet more wisely? D. What does technology bring us? 【答案】39. C 40. B 41. B 42. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，讨论了过度依赖互联网搜索对我们思考能力的影响。文章引用了几位专家的观点，通过实验和个人经历来说明，过度依赖技术会削弱我们的深度思考能力和解决问题的能力。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Deep thinking happens only when our minds are calm and attentive.” It is difficult to focus while we are using the Internet.(“只有当我们的头脑保持冷静和专注时，才会进行深度思考。”我们上网时很难集中注意力。)”可知，我们在使用互联网时很难集中注意力进行深度思考，故选C。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“One group couldn’t use any sort of device to answer questions. The other group was allowed to use Google. The group that had access to their smartphones immediately looked up answers on the Internet. The group without smartphones were quicker at answering questions because they didn’t reach for their smartphones.(一组不能使用任何设备回答问题。另一组被允许使用谷歌。能够访问智能手机的小组立即在互联网上查找答案。没有智能手机的那组人回答问题的速度更快，因为他们没有拿起智能手机。)”可知，这个实验显示人们不必一直依赖互联网，故选B。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“When my class had a math test, most of us used calculators (计算器) at every opportunity even though everyone in that room was able to solve each problem. The Internet is like that because we know the answers to many questions we search for. We have to at least attempt to use our minds for problem-solving so we don’t forget how to do so. (当我的班级进行数学考试时，我们大多数人一有机会就使用计算器，尽管教室里的每个人都能解出每道题。互联网就是这样，因为我们知道我们搜索的许多问题的答案。我们至少要尝试用我们的大脑来解决问题，这样我们才不会忘记如何去做。)”可知，作者提到他的数学考试是为了强调我们自己学习的重要性，故选B。 【42题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第四段中“If we always turn to technology for answers, we’ll never learn anything on our own.(如果我们总是向技术寻求答案，我们永远不会自己学到任何东西。)”可知，文章主要讨论的是互联网使人们不去思考的问题，所以适合的标题为：互联网正在教人们不去思考吗?故选B。 D Sad music has been found highly effective in pain relief. A study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research discovered that listening to favorite songs can reduce people’s feeling of pain, especially those sad songs that tell bittersweet emotional experiences. This small-scale study invited 63 young adults, each of whom selected two favorite songs: one they had loved for a long time and another they would take with them to a desert island. Participants (参与者) were also asked to choose one song from a set of songs that researchers believed could relax people but were unfamiliar to them. During the experiment, Participants were required to listen to music for 7 minutes while looking at a monitoring screen, while another group had a quiet rest. The results showed that compared to those who listened to unfamiliar comforting songs or did not listen to any songs, people who listened to their favorite songs reported less pain. In addition to its effects on pain relief, sad music also has positive influences on the mind. Studies have shown that sad songs can bring emotional resonance (共鸣), providing a sense of psychological (心理的) comfort. Sad music often touches upon deep emotions within people, causing strong resonance during listening. This resonance not only helps reduce emotional pressure but also provides psychological support and comfort. This psychological effect may be related to the need for people to seek emotional support through music when facing difficulties and challenges in life. Through music, people can escape the difficulties of real life to a certain degree and find inner peace. Despite the many positive effects of sad music, depending too much on it may bring some risks. For example, some people may feel empty or uncomfortable after listening to music. This feeling may be caused by their over-dependence on music. To avoid this situation, it is recommended that people keep a balance when using music for emotional management and seek other healthy ways to deal with stress and challenges in life. 43. What type of music was found most effective in pain relief? A. Unfamiliar comforting songs. B. Favorite sad songs. C. Any type of music. D. Famous rock music. 44. How did the researchers get the effects of sad music on pain relief? A. By measuring the participants’ heart rates. B. By requiring participants to listen to sad songs. C. By observing the participants’ facial expressions. D. By asking participants to report their pain levels. 45. How does sad music help people emotionally? A. It makes them feel sad. B. It makes them feel energetic. C. It helps them reduce stress. D. It helps them forget everything. 46. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. We should not seek other ways to reduce stress. B. We had better avoid sad music completely. C. We are supposed to listen to familiar music. D. We should not depend on music too much. 【答案】43. B 44. D 45. C 46. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现听自己喜欢的悲伤音乐可以缓解痛苦。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The results showed that compared to those who listened to unfamiliar comforting songs or did not listen to any songs, people who listened to their favorite songs reported less pain.(结果显示，与那些听不熟悉的安慰歌曲或不听任何歌曲的人相比，听自己喜欢的歌曲的人报告的痛苦更少)”以及第三段“In addition to its effects on pain relief, sad music also has positive influences on the mind.(悲伤的音乐除了有缓解痛苦的作用外，对心灵也有积极的影响)”可知，最喜欢的悲伤歌曲对缓解痛苦最有效。故选B。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The results showed that compared to those who listened to unfamiliar comforting songs or did not listen to any songs, people who listened to their favorite songs reported less pain.(结果显示，与那些听不熟悉的安慰歌曲或不听任何歌曲的人相比，听自己喜欢的歌曲的人报告的痛苦更少)”可知，研究人员要求参与者报告他们的痛苦程度得到悲伤音乐对缓解痛苦的影响。故选D。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This resonance not only helps reduce emotional pressure but also provides psychological support and comfort.(这种共鸣不仅有助于减轻情绪压力，而且提供心理支持和安慰)”可知，悲伤的音乐帮助人们减轻压力。故选C。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite the many positive effects of sad music, depending too much on it may bring some risks. For example, some people may feel empty or uncomfortable after listening to music. This feeling may be caused by their over-dependence on music. To avoid this situation, it is recommended that people keep a balance when using music for emotional management and seek other healthy ways to deal with stress and challenges in life.(尽管悲伤的音乐有很多积极的影响，但过度依赖它可能会带来一些风险。例如，有些人在听完音乐后可能会感到空虚或不舒服。这种感觉可能是他们对音乐的过度依赖造成的。为了避免这种情况，建议人们在使用音乐进行情绪管理时保持平衡，并寻求其他健康的方式来应对生活中的压力和挑战)”可知，我们不应该太依赖音乐。故选D。 IV. 用所给单词的正确形式或根据搭配、中文提示填空 (共25小题，每小题1分；满分25分) 注意：答题卡上需写出完整单词 47. ________ (absorb) in reviewing my lessons, I totally lost track of time. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】Absorbed 【解析】 【详解】句意：我全神贯注复习功课，完全忘记了时间。be absorbed in是固定短语，意为“全神贯注于……”。 本句逗号后是结构完整的句子，逗号前需要用非谓语形式作状语，所以省略be动词后，直接用过去分词absorbed作状语；位于句首，首字母需要大写。 48.

The boxer Cassius Clay came to public attention in the 1960 Rome Olympics, when he won the light heavyweight gold medal for the USA, ________ (demonstrate) great talent and personality in the process. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】demonstrating 【解析】 【详解】句意：拳击手Cassius Clay在1960年罗马奥运会上进入公众视野，当时他为美国拿下了轻重量级拳击金牌，并且在这一过程中展现出了出众的天赋与个人魅力。本句主句已有谓语动词came，when引导的定语从句也已有谓语动词won，空格处没有并列连词连接新的谓语动作，因此空格需要用非谓语动词形式。 Cassius Clay和demonstrate是主动关系，因此用现在分词demonstrating作伴随状语，描述夺冠过程中同时发生的动作。 51.

She g________ (问好) her new neighbors politely on the first day. (根据中英文提示拼写单词) 【答案】greeted ##reeted 【解析】 【详解】句意：第一天她礼貌地向新邻居问好。表示“问好”用动词greet；依据状语on the first day能够判断事情发生在过去，时态采用一般过去时，greet的过去式为greeted。 56.

(根据中英文提示拼写单词) 【答案】accident ##ccident 【解析】 【详解】句意：哥伦布偶然发现了美洲大陆。固定搭配by accident意为“偶然地”。 61. D______ (投身于) himself to the research of H-bomb, Yu Min disregarded (不顾) his personal safety yet safeguarded our national security.

We must o________ (克服) our fears to move forward. (根据中英文提示拼写单词) 【答案】overcome##vercome 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们必须克服恐惧才能前进。根据汉语提示“克服”和首字母o可知用动词overcome，must为情态动词，后接动词原形。 63.

(根据汉语提示完成句子) 【答案】 ①. because ②. of 【解析】 【详解】句意：因为突如其来的猛烈暴风雨，船长被建议返航。空格后是名词短语a sudden heavy storm，并非完整句子，因此适配介词短语because of，表示“由于”，后面接名词性成分。 71.

Celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, it is a time for families to remember loved ones who have died. Unlike many other cultures, where death is a sad topic, Mexicans treat the Day of the Dead as a joyful celebration. They believe that during this time, the spirits of the dead return to the world of the living to be with their families. To prepare for the holiday, families build special tables called ofrendas. These are covered with colourful cloth and decorated with flowers, candles, and photographs of the dead. Families also put the favourite foods and drinks of their loved ones on the ofrendas. A special kind of bread called pan de muerto (bread of the dead) is baked, and sugar skulls (骷髅) with the names of the dead written on them are made. All of these are meant to welcome the spirits back home. Some traditions of the Day of the Dead go back more than 3,000 years, to the time of the Aztecs (阿兹特克人). The Aztecs believed that death was not the end, but a continuation of life in another form. When the Spanish arrived in Mexico in the 16th century, they brought their own traditions. Over time, the Aztec traditions mixed with Spanish Catholic customs to create the holiday we know today. Although the Day of the Dead is a Mexican tradition, it is now celebrated in many other countries too, including the United States, Spain, and the Philippines. In some places, it has become less about religious belief and more of a cultural celebration. However, for most Mexican families, it remains a deeply meaningful time to honour the memory of those who have passed away and to celebrate the cycle of life and death. 31. How do Mexicans feel about the Day of the Dead? A. They treat it as a sad day for crying. B. They treat it as a joyful celebration. C. They feel frightened of the spirits. D. They ignore it like any other day. 32. What is an ofrenda? A. A special table built to welcome the spirits. B. A type of bread served during the holiday. C. A song sung at festivals. D.

Why Mexico Stopped Celebrating Traditional Holidays B Offer a seagull (海鸥) fresh fish and chips, and they’ll take the fish every time. UK researchers have discovered that, given a choice, seagulls prefer seafood to human-made options. In fact, finds the study, even seagulls raised on bread and cat food will choose fish. “Our results suggest that, even when raised on an ‘urban’ diet of foods found only around people, these chicks might be unlikely to seek out urban foods as adults,” says lead author Emma Inzani, a PhD researcher at the Centre for Ecology and Conservation in the University of Exeter, UK. “Human- associated foods are often both reliably present and easy to obtain — but when fish is available they clearly prefer it.” The team of seagull researchers has previously found that seagulls are more likely to want food that has been handled by people rather than left alone, but they’re less likely to steal from people who stare them down. In this latest study,27 herring gulls (银鸥) were raised in captivity (圈养). The birds had all been rescued after falling off roofs in Cornwall, and were later freed. Half of the chicks had access to food that was 80% bread and cat food, and 20% fish and mussels (贻贝) . The other half of the chicks got the opposite spread. At regular intervals every few days, the researchers presented the baby gulls with bowls of all four foods. and tracked what they chose. All of the birds consistently ate the fish, and very few of them ever tried the bread. “Animals can live and explore urban areas for human food waste,” says senior author Dr. Neeltje Boogert. “However, this does not necessarily mean they’re thriving or that they prefer this food, rather than making the best of a bad situation,” adding, “More research is needed to investigate how the food young animals receive affects their later life, including their food choices, health and breeding.” 35.

Secrets of Seagulls’ Daily Diet C I grew up hearing, “Figure it out, but don’t look it up.” I use this advice when I’m tempted (诱惑) to turn to a search engine for answers. Should all of us limit our use of technology? Nicholas Carr, the author of The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, says that we should take some time away from screens. “Deep thinking happens only when our minds are calm and attentive.” It is difficult to focus while we are using the Internet. People tend to look up a question and end up skimming (浏览) through unrelated information. Some people might not even notice when they start mindlessly clicking. In “Cognitive Offloading: How the Internet Is Changing the Human Brain”, Philip Perry describes a test that compared two groups. One group couldn’t use any sort of device to answer questions. The other group was allowed to use Google. The group that had access to their smartphones immediately looked up answers on the Internet. The group without smartphones were quicker at answering questions because they didn’t reach for their smartphones. While it’s true that the Internet gives us answers quickly and reliably, we may forget that we can get the answers so easily. David Price, a guest blogger on a website, says that teaching may be getting easier with Google because parents can now use the Internet to help with their kids’ homework. This led me to think about our schooldays. When my class had a math test, most of us used calculators (计算器) at every opportunity even though everyone in that room was able to solve each problem. The Internet is like that because we know the answers to many questions we search for. We have to at least attempt to use our minds for problem-solving so we don’t forget how to do so. If we always turn to technology for answers, we’ll never learn anything on our own. I understand that the problems with technology are only when it is used in a certain way, but it’s not the solution to every problem. The positives of technology don’t remove the negatives. It’s time to take a step back from technology and take a break from our devices. 39. What may happen when we’re using the Internet? A. We will be in a good mood. B. We will become less efficient. C. We will find it hard to think deeply. D. We will respond quickly to information. 40. What does the test in Paragraph 3 show? A. People are easily tempted by the information on the Internet. B. People don’t have to rely on the Internet all the time. C. A limit to the spread of the Internet is necessary. D. Webs can offer answers more reliably. 41. Why does the author mention his school math test? A. To show different learning methods at different times. B. To stress the importance of learning by ourselves. C. To express his agreement to Price’s opinion. D. To praise the development of technology. 42. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Is teaching becoming easier with parents’ help? B. Is the Internet teaching people not to think? C. How to use the Internet more wisely? D. What does technology bring us? D Sad music has been found highly effective in pain relief. A study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research discovered that listening to favorite songs can reduce people’s feeling of pain, especially those sad songs that tell bittersweet emotional experiences. This small-scale study invited 63 young adults, each of whom selected two favorite songs: one they had loved for a long time and another they would take with them to a desert island. Participants (参与者) were also asked to choose one song from a set of songs that researchers believed could relax people but were unfamiliar to them. During the experiment, Participants were required to listen to music for 7 minutes while looking at a monitoring screen, while another group had a quiet rest. The results showed that compared to those who listened to unfamiliar comforting songs or did not listen to any songs, people who listened to their favorite songs reported less pain. In addition to its effects on pain relief, sad music also has positive influences on the mind. Studies have shown that sad songs can bring emotional resonance (共鸣), providing a sense of psychological (心理的) comfort. Sad music often touches upon deep emotions within people, causing strong resonance during listening. This resonance not only helps reduce emotional pressure but also provides psychological support and comfort. This psychological effect may be related to the need for people to seek emotional support through music when facing difficulties and challenges in life. Through music, people can escape the difficulties of real life to a certain degree and find inner peace. Despite the many positive effects of sad music, depending too much on it may bring some risks. For example, some people may feel empty or uncomfortable after listening to music. This feeling may be caused by their over-dependence on music. To avoid this situation, it is recommended that people keep a balance when using music for emotional management and seek other healthy ways to deal with stress and challenges in life. 43. What type of music was found most effective in pain relief? A. Unfamiliar comforting songs. B. Favorite sad songs. C. Any type of music. D. Famous rock music. 44. How did the researchers get the effects of sad music on pain relief? A. By measuring the participants’ heart rates. B. By requiring participants to listen to sad songs. C. By observing the participants’ facial expressions. D. By asking participants to report their pain levels. 45. How does sad music help people emotionally? A. It makes them feel sad. B. It makes them feel energetic. C. It helps them reduce stress. D. It helps them forget everything. 46. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. We should not seek other ways to reduce stress. B. We had better avoid sad music completely. C. We are supposed to listen to familiar music. D. We should not depend on music too much.
