Drove Orchards (果园), Thornham, Norfolk Drove Orchards shines a bit brighter each autumn when it starts delivering fruit.

When I went to university, I chose to major in French and Spanish. I cannot say I studied particularly hard; though I did get to live in Paris and then Barcelona, where I had many opportunities to pursue my various interests and hobbies. I was frequently asked about what I planned to “do” with my language degree, and it wasn’t until after a decade of thinking that I finally had a satisfying response. I always take exception to the idea that language is just a “tool” — a means to ask for directions or defend yourself when you have trouble with the locals. It depresses me to hear people say that AI will make language learning pointless. To me, language is not just something to be used. It shapes the way we perceive and experience the world. This is not a novel insight. Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf were made famous by the film Arrival. They proposed that the structure of language informs the thinking style and world view of its speakers, and that language determines how we see the world. The 18th-century German Romantic philosopher Johann Georg Hamann also wrote that the features of a people’s language will correspond to the direction of their mentality. It’s a matter of debate as to whether speakers of Guugu Yimithirr, a native language in Australia, have a better sense of navigation (导航) because of their language. I think it does. Where we (English speakers) use left and right, forward and back, speakers of this language use north, south, east and west. To do this, they must know where north is at all times. They orient (确定方位) themselves more skillfully than we do. To learn another language is not just to get by a bit more easily when you go on holiday. It’s to learn to perceive the world differently, to think differently, and even to become someone different. And that, in turn, throws light on your native language, your culture and yourself. 41. What can we know about the author? A. He had a clear career plan. B. He is a language enthusiast. C. He dislikes living in different cities. D. He struggled to achieve his college degree. 42. What does the underlined phrase “take exception to” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Try out. B. Hit upon. C. Put forward. D. Disapprove of. 43. Why does the author mention two different historical figures in paragraph 3? A. To compare their views on language. B. To honor their contributions. C. To support his argument. D. To explain a new insight. 44. What does the author try to explain about language in paragraph 4? A. Its influence on our cognitive abilities. B. Its development throughout history. C. Its importance in social interaction. D. Its impact on our cultural identities. 45. What can be the best title for the text? A. Language Is Key to Learning B. Language Shapes Our Thinking C. Environments Affect Our World View D. Cultures Facilitate Emotional Expression 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. C 44. A 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要通过作者自身经历及相关语言学理论，阐明语言不仅是交流工具，更深刻塑造人们的思维方式与世界观，学习外语有助于以全新视角认识世界与自我。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I was one of those children who enjoyed counting to ten in different languages while I brushed my teeth. When I went to university, I chose to major in French and Spanish. (我是那种刷牙时喜欢用不同语言数到十的孩子。当我上大学时，我选择了法语和西班牙语专业)”可知，作者从小热爱语言，是一位语言爱好者。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“I always take exception to the idea that language is just a “tool” — a means to ask for directions or defend yourself when you have trouble with the locals. It depresses me to hear people say that AI will make language learning pointless. To me, language is not just something to be used. It shapes the way we perceive and experience the world. (我总是take exception to这样一种观点，即语言只是一种“工具”——当你与当地人相处有困难时，一种问路或自卫的手段。听到人们说人工智能将使语言学习变得毫无意义，我很沮丧。对我来说，语言不仅仅是一种可以使用的东西。它塑造了我们感知和体验世界的方式)”可知，对于语言只是工具的这一观点，作者持反对态度，take exception to意为“不赞成，反对”，与Disapprove of同义。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They proposed that the structure of language informs the thinking style and world view of its speakers, and that language determines how we see the world. The 18th-century German Romantic philosopher Johann Georg Hamann also wrote that the features of a people’s language will correspond to the direction of their mentality. (他们提出，语言结构影响说话者的思维方式和世界观，语言决定了我们如何看待世界。18世纪德国浪漫主义哲学家约翰·格奥尔格·哈曼也写道，一个民族的语言特征与他们的思维取向相对应)”可知，本段提及两位学者均是为了论证语言与思维的关系，作者提到这两位历史人物是为了用权威观点来支撑自己的论点。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Where we (English speakers) use left and right, forward and back, speakers of this language use north, south, east and west. To do this, they must know where north is at all times. They orient (确定方位) themselves more skillfully than we do. (我们（讲英语的人）用左右、前后，而说这种语言的人使用北、南、东和西。要做到这一点，他们必须随时知道北方在哪里。他们比我们更熟练地为自己确定方位)”可知，作者通过该语言使用者的实际表现，解释了语言结构对人们空间认知能力和思维方式的深刻影响。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“To learn another language is not just to get by a bit more easily when you go on holiday. It’s to learn to perceive the world differently, to think differently, and even to become someone different. (学习另一门语言不仅仅是为了度假时能稍微顺利一点。它是学会以不同的方式感知世界、以不同的方式思考，甚至成为另一个不同的人)”以及文章内容可知，本文阐明语言不仅是交流工具，更深刻塑造人们的思维方式与世界观，学习外语有助于以全新视角认识世界与自我，所以“语言塑造我们的思维”适合作为文章标题。 C For US employers, offering parental leave (育儿假) — when one or both parents are allowed to take extended time off to tend a newborn child — can be a tricky issue. But it’s not the case in the UK, Germany, France and many other countries around the world, where parents can take significant time off after a child is born, with part of their compensation (补偿金) being covered by the government. The US has no such benefit. Will US employers step up to provide this important benefit? The Society for Human Resource Management has done a study recently. It surveyed about 3,000 employers and found that the share of employers offering paid maternity leave (带薪产假) beyond what is required by law dropped to 35% this past year, which was 53% in 2020. The share of employers giving paid paternity time off fell to 27% in 2022, from 44% in 2020. For business owners, parental leave is costly. Some companies — like HPE, Etsy, Dropbox and Netflix — offer six months or more of paid leave for both primary and secondary caregivers. But these are large companies. It’s more difficult for many small businesses to lose a key employee for an extended period of time. If a small business has fewer than 50 employees, it doesn’t need to obey the Family and Medical Leave Aet. But, thanks to the Section 45S employer credit — a relatively little-known tax rule that was extended through 2025,if a business allows an employee to take the time off and continues to pay at least half of their wages, the company can receive a tax credit for up to 25% of the wages paid. So that could help with the cost. Paid time off should be given to a new parent, regardless of the company’s size. It’s not only the right thing to do, but also a necessary benefit to offer in this time of tight labor markets. Being a small employer, you can be flexible. You can figure out an arrangement that works best for both you and your workers. 46. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By listing statistics. B. By explaining reasons C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 47. What can we know from the figures mentioned in paragraph 2? A. More employees in the US are losing paid parental leave. B. Paid maternity leave has greatly benefited female workers. C. Some US companies are suffering great financial difficulties. D. Paid parental leave has caused a range of social problems in the US. 48. Why do some US employers refuse to offer paid parental leave? A. They believe it is too complex to carry out. B. They think it is the government’s responsibility. C. They think it may bring them extra cost pressure. D. They believe it may lead to unfairness to other employees. 49. What can be inferred about the Section 45S tax rule? A. It will come into effect in 2025. B. It aims to promote employees’ basic salaries. C. It conflicts with the Family and Medical Leave Act. D. It encourages some businesses to offer paid parental leave. 50. What is the author’s attitude towards companies’ offering paid parental leave to employees? A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Critical. 【答案】46. C 47. A 48. C 49. D 50. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕美国育儿假问题展开，指出与有政府补贴育儿假的国家不同，美国无此福利。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“For US employers, offering parental leave (育儿假) — when one or both parents are allowed to take extended time off to tend a newborn child — can be a tricky issue. But it’s not the case in the UK, Germany, France and many other countries around the world, where parents can take significant time off after a child is born, with part of their compensation(补偿金) being covered by the government.(对于美国雇主来说，提供育儿假——父母中的一方或双方被允许延长休假时间照顾新生儿——可能是一个棘手的问题。但在英国、德国、法国和世界上许多其他国家，情况并非如此。在这些国家，父母可以在孩子出生后休一段很长的假，政府会支付他们的部分补偿金。)”可知，文章开篇将美国雇主提供育儿假的棘手情况与英国、德国、法国等国家对比，指出美国没有政府补贴育儿假的福利，从而引出话题。故选C项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Society for Human Resource Management has done a study recently. It surveyed about 3,000 employers and found that the share of employers offering paid maternity leave (带薪产假) beyond what is required by law dropped to 35% this past year, which was 53% in 2020. The share of employers giving paid paternity time off fell to 27% in 2022, from 44% in 2020.( 人力资源管理协会最近做了一项研究。该机构对约3000家雇主进行了调查，发现去年提供法律规定以外带薪产假的雇主比例降至35%，而到2020年这一比例为53%。提供带薪陪产假的雇主比例从2020年的44%降至2022年的27%。)”可知，第二段提到提供超出法律要求的带薪产假的雇主比例从2020年的53%降至去年的35%，提供带薪陪产假的雇主比例从2020年的44%降至2022年的27%，说明美国有更多员工正在失去带薪育儿假。故选A项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段 “For business owners, parental leave is costly. Some companies — like HPE, Etsy, Dropbox and Netflix — offer six months or more of paid leave for both primary and secondary caregivers. But these are large companies. It’s more difficult for many small businesses to lose a key employee for an extended period of time.( 对企业主来说，产假成本高昂。一些公司，如惠普、Etsy、Dropbox和netflix，为主要和次要护理人员提供六个月或更长时间的带薪休假。但这些都是大公司。对于许多小企业来说，长期失去一名关键员工更加困难。)” 以及后文提到小企业难以承受关键员工长时间休假可知，一些美国雇主拒绝提供带薪育儿假是因为他们认为这可能会给他们带来额外的成本压力。故选C项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“But, thanks to the Section 45S employer credit — a relatively little-known tax rule that was extended through 2025,if a business allows an employee to take the time off and continues to pay at least half of their wages, the company can receive a tax credit for up to 25% of the wages paid. So that could help with the cost.( 但是，由于第45条节雇主抵免 ——一个相对鲜为人知的税收规则，延长到2025年，如果企业允许员工休假并继续支付至少一半的工资，公司可以获得高达25%的工资抵免。这样可以降低成本。)”可知，第四段提到如果企业允许员工休假并继续支付至少一半工资，公司可获得高达所支付工资 25% 的税收抵免，这有助于降低成本，由此可推断45条税收规则鼓励一些企业提供带薪育儿假。故选D项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Paid time off should be given to a new parent, regardless of the company’s size. It’s not only the right thing to do, but also a necessary benefit to offer in this time of tight labor markets.( 无论公司规模大小，新晋父母都应享有带薪休假。这不仅是一件正确的事情，而且在当前劳动力市场紧张的情况下，这也是一种必要的好处。)”可知，作者认为无论公司规模大小，都应该给新父母提供带薪休假，这不仅是正确的做法，也是必要的福利，所以作者对公司为员工提供带薪育儿假持支持态度。故选B项。 D Increasingly extreme temperatures are a rising threat, but humans aren’t the only ones affected. A new study shows heat waves may also impact the physiology (生理) of bumblebees. Bumblebees evolved to live at high altitudes and in cold areas and have adapted to cold regions. They use their eyesight to locate areas of flowers and their antennas (触角) to smell. Receptors in bees’ antennas pick up small smells from flowers and then send an electrical signal to their brains so they can judge which flower to visit. To investigate whether heat affected bumblebees’ smelling ability, insect ecologist Sabreena Nahoon conducted a study with her team. The researchers tested 190 insects from two species common in Europe: wild bees and bumble bees, and reproduced a heat wave by making a bumblebee in a 50ml tube for almost 3 hours. After exposing bees to heat, they increased temperature to 40°C and placed them into a thin glass tube attached to a device to measure their electrical responses. (The antennas remain electrically active for some time.) They exposed the antennas to smells of three pleasant-smelling chemicals commonly found in flowers. The researchers found heat exposure reduced the antenna response significantly to all three smells, sometimes by up to 80%. Heat-exposed bee antennas failed to recover their small smell response, even if the researchers tested them after the bees rested at cooler temperatures for 24 hours. “It was a clever way to uncover this pollinator (传粉者) — flower puzzle,” said ecologist Sandra Rehan who wasn’t involved in the study. “It’s an important first step to see really what is driving, potentially, these bee declines. The experiments reflect the current climate conditions. 40℃ is within the range of what’s occurring currently,” she says. Future studies will test for similar heat damage in other bee species. Some bee species might be at higher risk than bumblebees, who can adjust their temperature and live in groups that store food. Others, such as the carpenter bee, often live alone, so going several days without food — either because they can’t easily smell flowers or are simply looking for food less to avoid the heat — could be harmful. 51. What plays the key role in bumblebees’ picking out their favorite food? A. Excellent sight. B. Sensitive antennas. C. Enough visual clues. D. Rich food-searching experiences. 52. What did the researchers do to study the effect of heat on bumblebees? A. They observed bees’ behavior change in the wild. B. They listed factors affecting bees’ heat sensitivity. C. They tested bees’ physiological responses to heat smells. D. They compared different bee species’ temperature tolerances. 53. What did the study find about bumblebees exposed to heat? A. It could have a far-reaching impact on them. B. It caused permanent harm to their five senses. C. It took little time for them to become adaptable. D. It directly led to the decline of the bee population. 54. What aspect of the study did Sandra Rehan think highly of? A. The completeness of the experiments. B. The variety of the experiment subjects. C. The reference to historical climate data. D. The creativity of the experiment design. 55. Why might carpenter bees be at a higher risk during heat waves? A. They have to compete for food resources. B. They are less sensitive to temperatures. C. They have no shared food reserves. D. They have worse smell responses. 【答案】51. B 52. C 53. A 54. D 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要通过一项实验介绍热浪会损害大黄蜂触角的嗅觉受体，削弱其闻味辨花的能力，进而影响授粉及生存，并指出独居蜂等在极端高温下面临更大风险。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Receptors in bees’ antennas pick up small smells from flowers and then send an electrical signal to their brains so they can judge which flower to visit. (蜜蜂触角中的感受器接收来自花朵的微小气味，然后向大脑发送电信号，以便它们判断该去哪朵花)”可知，大黄蜂主要依靠敏感的触角来辨别气味并挑选食物。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“After exposing bees to heat, they increased temperature to 40°C and placed them into a thin glass tube attached to a device to measure their electrical responses. (The antennas remain electrically active for some time.) They exposed the antennas to smells of three pleasant-smelling chemicals commonly found in flowers. (将蜜蜂暴露于高温后，他们将温度升高到40°C，并把它们放入连有测量装置的细长玻璃管中以测量其电生理反应（触角在一段时间内仍保持电活性）。他们让触角接触花朵中常见的三种气味宜人的化学物质的味道)”以及第四段“The researchers found heat exposure reduced the antenna response significantly to all three smells, sometimes by up to 80%. (研究人员发现，暴露于高温下使得触角对所有三种气味的反应都显著减弱，有时降幅高达80%)”可知，研究者是通过测试高温后蜜蜂触角对气味电信号的生理反应来进行研究的。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Heat-exposed bee antennas failed to recover their small smell response, even if the researchers tested them after the bees rested at cooler temperatures for 24 hours. (即使研究人员在蜜蜂于较凉温度下休息24小时后再进行测试，受热影响的蜜蜂触角也未能恢复其微弱的气味反应)”可知，高温对大黄蜂嗅觉造成了持续性的损伤，这对其觅食及种群繁衍会产生深远影响。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““It was a clever way to uncover this pollinator (传粉者)-flower puzzle,” ecologist Sandra Rehan who wasn’t involved in the study. (未参与该研究的生态学家Sandra Rehan说：“这是一种揭开传粉者与花朵之谜的巧妙方法。”)”可知，Sandra Rehan高度评价了该实验设计的巧妙与创新性。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Some bee species might be at higher risk than bumblebees, who can adjust their temperature and live in groups that store food. Others, such as the carpenter bee, often live alone, so going several days without food — either because they can’t easily smell flowers or are simply looking for food less to avoid the heat — could be harmful. (有些蜂种可能比大黄蜂面临更高风险，大黄蜂能调节体温且群居并储存食物。其他蜂如木匠蜂，通常独居，因此几天没有食物——无论是由于闻不到花还是仅为躲避高温而减少觅食——都可能有害)”可知，木匠蜂风险更高是因为它们独居、没有群体共享的食物储备来度过困难期。 第II卷（共两部分；满分35分） 第一节 阅读表达（阅读短文，回答以下五个问题，每小题2分，满分10分） It was a Friday afternoon. I was riding a bus home from school. At the bus stop before my destination, a few boys got off the bus. “Bye, Big Nose!” one of them said, waving to me. He and his friends laughed and got off the bus. My cheeks flushed (满脸通红) with embarrassment. I knew I didn’t have a tiny and delicate nose, but I had never thought of my nose as a particularly big one. I immediately covered my nose with my hands. I went home immediately when I got off the bus. I came to the bathroom and looked at myself in profile (从侧面) in the mirror. Oh, no! I did have a big nose! Even worse, there was a slight bump (肿块) in my nose at the bridge. I experimented, putting the sunglasses on. They helped hide the bump. If only I could wear sunglasses all the time! Then I tried pressing down my nose. But when I took my finger away, it regained its shape. After two hours in the bathroom, I came out, feeling hopeless. Days later, my family came over to my grandfather’s house for dinner. When we reached, climbed upstairs and found Grandpa in his bedroom, staring at a photograph. “Dally!” he smiled. But his eyes looked sad. My grandma passed away when I was in kindergarten. “Is that Grandma?” I asked. It was a black-and-white photo of a young woman with short blond hair and wide, pretty eyes. She was smiling at the camera as if she knew a wonderful secret. “Yeah,” Grandpa replied. I said, “She’s so beautiful.” Grandpa added, “Inside and out. Next to you, of course.” “Thanks, Grandpa.” But I knew he was just being nice. And I knew I had a big nose, “You’re almost a carbon copy of your grandma,” Grandpa said. “Just look at your nose. You got your profile from your grandma. And there was also a tiny bump at the bridge of her nose,” he added. That was the day I began to love my nose. I think my grandma Auden in some way is kept alive through my own nose with its beautiful bump. 56.

What’s your attitude towards your appearance after reading the story? (no more than 20 words) ___________________________________________ 【答案】56. That some boys laughed at her because of her nose. 57. By putting the sunglasses on and pressing down her nose. 58. She was young and beautiful. 59. You look very much like your grandma. 60. We shouldn’t hate our own appearance because everyone is special and beautiful. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在公交车上被一个男孩嘲笑鼻子大，因此感到自卑和尴尬，直到某天去爷爷家吃饭，爷爷说作者长得像奶奶，于是作者不再为自己的鼻子感到自卑了。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段““Bye, Big Nose!” one of them said, waving to me. He and his friends laughed and got off the bus. My cheeks flushed (满脸通红) with embarrassment.(“再见，大鼻子！”其中一个向我挥手说。他和他的朋友们笑着下了车。我尴尬得双颊通红)”可知，作者感到尴尬是因为一些男孩因为她的鼻子而嘲笑她。故答案为That some boys laughed at her because of her nose。 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“If only I could wear sunglasses all the time! Then I tried pressing down my nose. But when I took my finger away, it regained its shape. After two hours in the bathroom, I came out, feeling hopeless.(要是我能一直戴墨镜就好了！然后我试着按下我的鼻子。但当我把手指拿开时，它又恢复了原来的形状。在浴室里呆了两个小时后，我出来了，感到绝望)”可知，作者通过戴上墨镜，压住她的鼻子来让鼻子看起来更小。故答案为By putting the sunglasses on and pressing down her nose。 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“It was a black-and-white photo of a young woman with short blond hair and wide, pretty eyes. She was smiling at the camera as if she knew a wonderful secret. “Yeah,” Grandpa replied. I said, “She’s so beautiful.”(那是一张黑白照片，照片上是一位年轻女子，金色短发，一双漂亮的大眼睛。她对着镜头微笑，仿佛知道了一个奇妙的秘密。“是的，”爷爷回答。我说：“她太美了。”)”可知，照片上的奶奶年轻美丽。故答案为She was young and beautiful。 【59题详解】 考查句意猜测。根据倒数第二段““Just look at your nose. You got your profile from your grandma. And there was also a tiny bump at the bridge of her nose,” he added.(“看看你的鼻子。你的侧脸是你奶奶给你的。她的鼻梁上也有一个小肿块，”他补充道)”可知，爷爷说作者的鼻子和奶奶一样，意思是作者长得像奶奶。划线句意思是“你长得很像你奶奶”。故答案为You look very much like your grandma。 【60题详解】 考查开放题。根据“看完这个故事，你对自己的外表有什么看法？”可回答“我们不应该讨厌自己的外表，因为每个人都是特别的和美丽的”故答案为We shouldn’t hate our own appearance because everyone is special and beautiful。 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假定你是李津，天津某中学学生会主席。学校正在开展“Technology Empowering Campus Life”主题教育活动，请你代表学生会向全体同学发出一封倡议书，内容要点如下： 1．简述科技给校园生活带来的便利与变化； 2．说明中学生应如何理性使用科技，助力学习与成长； 3．倡议同学们在拥抱科技的同时，传承优良传统，做到科技与传统并重。 要求： 1．词数不少于100词；2．可适当增加细节，使行文连贯； 3．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Dear fellow students, I’m Li Jin, president of the Students’ Union.

Here are some of the best places across the UK for your whole family to enjoy quality time together in nature. Drove Orchards (果园), Thornham, Norfolk Drove Orchards shines a bit brighter each autumn when it starts delivering fruit. Many of the fresh apples and pears here are ready-picked as well as PYO (short for pick-your-own). Especially, juice made from the special varieties of apples here is strongly recommended. You can have a taste on the spot. Opening time: 10 am ~ 4 pm daily until the end of October (booking not necessary but checking what’s fruiting before visiting at droveorchards.com) Blooming Green, Linton, Kent Blooming Green is a “no-dig” flower business, selling flowers directly to customers and opening for PYO activities from summer to the end of October. In November and December, there are wreath-making (花环制作) workshops, where participants can pick their favorite flowers. Opening time: 10 am ~ 4 pm on Saturdays only (with pre-booking of one-hour periods, bloominggreenflowers.co.uk) Towerbrook Farm, Banwell, Somerset Like many other farms, Towerbrook Farm offers pick-your-own and cut-your-own service. But it’s the first place that offers dig-your-own Christmas trees, meaning you can take your tree back after the holiday and replant it there, which allows you to avoid sending your tree to the recycling centre. Opening time: 8 am ~ 4 pm daily between 20 November and 30 December (pre-booking not necessary) Shute Fruit, Bishopsteignton, South Devon As well as selling preserves made from kinds of berries (浆果), Shute Fruit also manages an extensive pick-your-own operation. There you can pick your own sloe berries. If you are a fan of sloe gin, a kind of alcoholic drink, whose alcohol content is between 15% and 30%, ask the farm for recipes to make your own sloe gin at home. Opening time: 11 am ~ 5 pm daily except rainy days and Mondays, until the end of October (booking not necessary, shutefruit.co.uk) 36. What is worth a try in Drove Orchards? A. Planting an apple tree. B. Working as a fruit delivery man. C. Drinking freshly squeezed apple juice. D. Identifying different varieties of apples. 37. Where will you most probably go if you want to buy some roses? A. Thornham. B. Linton. C. Banwell. D. Bishopsteignton 38. What is the highlight of Towerbrook Farm? A. Teaching people how to pick Christmas trees. B. Encouraging cooperation with recycling centres. C. Allowing the replanting of used Christmas trees. D. Offering a wide range of choices for shipping your trees. 39. Who would favour Shute Fruit? A. Wildlife preservers. B. Farm managers. C. Wine lovers. D. Sports fans. 40. What do the four farms have in common? A. They open daily. B. They provide various fruits. C. They require pre-booking. D. They support PYO operations. B I was one of those children who enjoyed counting to ten in different languages while I brushed my teeth. When I went to university, I chose to major in French and Spanish. I cannot say I studied particularly hard; though I did get to live in Paris and then Barcelona, where I had many opportunities to pursue my various interests and hobbies. I was frequently asked about what I planned to “do” with my language degree, and it wasn’t until after a decade of thinking that I finally had a satisfying response. I always take exception to the idea that language is just a “tool” — a means to ask for directions or defend yourself when you have trouble with the locals. It depresses me to hear people say that AI will make language learning pointless. To me, language is not just something to be used. It shapes the way we perceive and experience the world. This is not a novel insight. Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf were made famous by the film Arrival. They proposed that the structure of language informs the thinking style and world view of its speakers, and that language determines how we see the world. The 18th-century German Romantic philosopher Johann Georg Hamann also wrote that the features of a people’s language will correspond to the direction of their mentality. It’s a matter of debate as to whether speakers of Guugu Yimithirr, a native language in Australia, have a better sense of navigation (导航) because of their language. I think it does. Where we (English speakers) use left and right, forward and back, speakers of this language use north, south, east and west. To do this, they must know where north is at all times. They orient (确定方位) themselves more skillfully than we do. To learn another language is not just to get by a bit more easily when you go on holiday. It’s to learn to perceive the world differently, to think differently, and even to become someone different. And that, in turn, throws light on your native language, your culture and yourself. 41. What can we know about the author? A. He had a clear career plan. B. He is a language enthusiast. C. He dislikes living in different cities. D. He struggled to achieve his college degree. 42. What does the underlined phrase “take exception to” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Try out. B. Hit upon. C. Put forward. D. Disapprove of. 43. Why does the author mention two different historical figures in paragraph 3? A. To compare their views on language. B. To honor their contributions. C. To support his argument. D. To explain a new insight. 44. What does the author try to explain about language in paragraph 4? A. Its influence on our cognitive abilities. B. Its development throughout history. C. Its importance in social interaction. D. Its impact on our cultural identities. 45. What can be the best title for the text? A. Language Is Key to Learning B. Language Shapes Our Thinking C. Environments Affect Our World View D. Cultures Facilitate Emotional Expression C For US employers, offering parental leave (育儿假) — when one or both parents are allowed to take extended time off to tend a newborn child — can be a tricky issue. But it’s not the case in the UK, Germany, France and many other countries around the world, where parents can take significant time off after a child is born, with part of their compensation (补偿金) being covered by the government. The US has no such benefit. Will US employers step up to provide this important benefit? The Society for Human Resource Management has done a study recently. It surveyed about 3,000 employers and found that the share of employers offering paid maternity leave (带薪产假) beyond what is required by law dropped to 35% this past year, which was 53% in 2020. The share of employers giving paid paternity time off fell to 27% in 2022, from 44% in 2020. For business owners, parental leave is costly. Some companies — like HPE, Etsy, Dropbox and Netflix — offer six months or more of paid leave for both primary and secondary caregivers. But these are large companies. It’s more difficult for many small businesses to lose a key employee for an extended period of time. If a small business has fewer than 50 employees, it doesn’t need to obey the Family and Medical Leave Aet. But, thanks to the Section 45S employer credit — a relatively little-known tax rule that was extended through 2025,if a business allows an employee to take the time off and continues to pay at least half of their wages, the company can receive a tax credit for up to 25% of the wages paid. So that could help with the cost. Paid time off should be given to a new parent, regardless of the company’s size. It’s not only the right thing to do, but also a necessary benefit to offer in this time of tight labor markets. Being a small employer, you can be flexible. You can figure out an arrangement that works best for both you and your workers. 46. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By listing statistics. B. By explaining reasons C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 47. What can we know from the figures mentioned in paragraph 2? A. More employees in the US are losing paid parental leave. B. Paid maternity leave has greatly benefited female workers. C. Some US companies are suffering great financial difficulties. D. Paid parental leave has caused a range of social problems in the US. 48. Why do some US employers refuse to offer paid parental leave? A. They believe it is too complex to carry out. B. They think it is the government’s responsibility. C. They think it may bring them extra cost pressure. D. They believe it may lead to unfairness to other employees. 49. What can be inferred about the Section 45S tax rule? A. It will come into effect in 2025. B. It aims to promote employees’ basic salaries. C. It conflicts with the Family and Medical Leave Act. D. It encourages some businesses to offer paid parental leave. 50. What is the author’s attitude towards companies’ offering paid parental leave to employees? A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Critical. D Increasingly extreme temperatures are a rising threat, but humans aren’t the only ones affected. A new study shows heat waves may also impact the physiology (生理) of bumblebees. Bumblebees evolved to live at high altitudes and in cold areas and have adapted to cold regions. They use their eyesight to locate areas of flowers and their antennas (触角) to smell. Receptors in bees’ antennas pick up small smells from flowers and then send an electrical signal to their brains so they can judge which flower to visit. To investigate whether heat affected bumblebees’ smelling ability, insect ecologist Sabreena Nahoon conducted a study with her team. The researchers tested 190 insects from two species common in Europe: wild bees and bumble bees, and reproduced a heat wave by making a bumblebee in a 50ml tube for almost 3 hours. After exposing bees to heat, they increased temperature to 40°C and placed them into a thin glass tube attached to a device to measure their electrical responses. (The antennas remain electrically active for some time.) They exposed the antennas to smells of three pleasant-smelling chemicals commonly found in flowers. The researchers found heat exposure reduced the antenna response significantly to all three smells, sometimes by up to 80%. Heat-exposed bee antennas failed to recover their small smell response, even if the researchers tested them after the bees rested at cooler temperatures for 24 hours. “It was a clever way to uncover this pollinator (传粉者) — flower puzzle,” said ecologist Sandra Rehan who wasn’t involved in the study. “It’s an important first step to see really what is driving, potentially, these bee declines. The experiments reflect the current climate conditions. 40℃ is within the range of what’s occurring currently,” she says. Future studies will test for similar heat damage in other bee species. Some bee species might be at higher risk than bumblebees, who can adjust their temperature and live in groups that store food. Others, such as the carpenter bee, often live alone, so going several days without food — either because they can’t easily smell flowers or are simply looking for food less to avoid the heat — could be harmful. 51. What plays the key role in bumblebees’ picking out their favorite food? A. Excellent sight. B. Sensitive antennas. C. Enough visual clues. D. Rich food-searching experiences. 52. What did the researchers do to study the effect of heat on bumblebees? A. They observed bees’ behavior change in the wild. B. They listed factors affecting bees’ heat sensitivity. C. They tested bees’ physiological responses to heat smells. D. They compared different bee species’ temperature tolerances. 53. What did the study find about bumblebees exposed to heat? A. It could have a far-reaching impact on them. B. It caused permanent harm to their five senses. C. It took little time for them to become adaptable. D. It directly led to the decline of the bee population. 54. What aspect of the study did Sandra Rehan think highly of? A. The completeness of the experiments. B. The variety of the experiment subjects. C. The reference to historical climate data. D. The creativity of the experiment design. 55. Why might carpenter bees be at a higher risk during heat waves? A. They have to compete for food resources. B. They are less sensitive to temperatures. C. They have no shared food reserves. D. They have worse smell responses. 第II卷（共两部分；满分35分） 第一节 阅读表达（阅读短文，回答以下五个问题，每小题2分，满分10分） It was a Friday afternoon. I was riding a bus home from school. At the bus stop before my destination, a few boys got off the bus. “Bye, Big Nose!” one of them said, waving to me. He and his friends laughed and got off the bus. My cheeks flushed (满脸通红) with embarrassment. I knew I didn’t have a tiny and delicate nose, but I had never thought of my nose as a particularly big one. I immediately covered my nose with my hands. I went home immediately when I got off the bus. I came to the bathroom and looked at myself in profile (从侧面) in the mirror. Oh, no! I did have a big nose! Even worse, there was a slight bump (肿块) in my nose at the bridge. I experimented, putting the sunglasses on. They helped hide the bump. If only I could wear sunglasses all the time! Then I tried pressing down my nose. But when I took my finger away, it regained its shape. After two hours in the bathroom, I came out, feeling hopeless. Days later, my family came over to my grandfather’s house for dinner. When we reached, climbed upstairs and found Grandpa in his bedroom, staring at a photograph. “Dally!” he smiled. But his eyes looked sad. My grandma passed away when I was in kindergarten. “Is that Grandma?” I asked. It was a black-and-white photo of a young woman with short blond hair and wide, pretty eyes. She was smiling at the camera as if she knew a wonderful secret. “Yeah,” Grandpa replied. I said, “She’s so beautiful.” Grandpa added, “Inside and out. Next to you, of course.” “Thanks, Grandpa.” But I knew he was just being nice. And I knew I had a big nose, “You’re almost a carbon copy of your grandma,” Grandpa said. “Just look at your nose. You got your profile from your grandma. And there was also a tiny bump at the bridge of her nose,” he added. That was the day I began to love my nose. I think my grandma Auden in some way is kept alive through my own nose with its beautiful bump. 56.
