When you check the predicted temperature,you may sometimes be greeted with two values: the air temperature and the"feels like"temperature.The main temperature value represents how hot or cold the air is,but the second temperature takes the strength of the wind into account.Called wind chill,this value indicates how the air temperature will feel on your skin when you step outside When there is more wind,heat escapes from you more quickly,lowering the wind chill temperature. Displaying this value on forecasts means that people can make a more informed decision on what to wear and even whether to go outside.When wind chill reduces the temperature far into negative values,skin temperature will decrease rapidly,followed by your internal body temperature.This increases the chances of developing hypothermia(体温过低)and frostbite. Wind chill not only impacts humans,but other animals and plants as well.In plants,wind chill stresses don't come from heat loss.Rather,wind chill increases the moisture()loss from leaves and dries out the plant.Whether it's in the form of drying or freezing,wind chill calculations show the great influence of the wind on the temperature of your environment. Check this chart to see how the wind alters the temperature your body feels.

C.In a daily weather forecast. D.In a popular science magazine. B Mr.Johnson,a high school history teacher,had long noticed a worrying trend in his classroom. While his students could carefully remember dates,names and events for exams,they always failed to understand the human side of history.To them,the past seemed a fixed set of facts,without emotion,struggle or personal meaning.Wanting to fix this gap,Mr.Johnson decided to completely change his teaching way in the middle of the semester,trading a traditional research report for a story-writing task. He asked his students to pick a historical figure and write a story from his or her perspective. The task was confusing at first,but soon the classroom was full of active questions and discussion. One student learned deeply about the life of a young soldier in World War I,writing a sad and moving story of the mud,fear and fragile friendship in the trench lines.Another told the story of a female scholar from the Renaissance,making up a tale of her love for learning being held back by social rules.The thorough research and creative care for how the figure felt that the students showed was amazing. Mr.Johnson was surprised by the big change in his students.The essays he got were not just correct;they were full of real feelings and a clear understanding of people's thoughts.The students had stopped just repeating facts and truly connected with history,seeing historical figures as people with many different sides instead of just names from a long time ago.In later class talks,their questions changed from"What happened?"to"Why did they feel that way?"and "What would I have done?".This story-writing method didn't just help them remember facts better;it built up their ability to think deeply and their real care for how others felt. Inspired by this success,Mr.Johnson has now made story-telling a regular part of his lessons. He believes that when students learn to experience history through story-telling,they do more than just remember it-they start to understand its long-lasting effects on their own lives and what it means to be human in general.In his classroom,history is no longer just a subject about the past;it has become a talk with the past. 34.What was Mr.Johnson's initial problem with his students? A.They preferred science over history. B.They were not interested in history at all. C.They could not memorize historical facts. D.They lacked emotional connection to history. 英语试题第5页共11页 35.How did Mr.Johnson change his teaching method? A.He gave students more fact-based research papers. B.He guided students to write in past figures'voice. C.He showed more historical documentaries with facts. D.He invited historians to give lectures in his classroom. 36.What did the students'essays demonstrate after the new assignment? A.They contained more dates and facts than before. B.They showed better memorization of historical events. C.They were shorter but more accurate than previous work. D.They reflected emotional understanding and personal insight. 37.What is the main message of the text? A.History should value facts over emotions. B.History should be taught through storywriting. C.History is more than facts-it's human stories D.Students should ask questions when learning history. C From an airplane,cars moving slowly on the highway closely are like a line of ants.Unlike these human-driven vehicles,however,ants are able to avoid the disappointing stop-and-go traffic that troubles daily commutes )Researchers have therefore turned their attention to studying the ants'teamwork-based behaviors,hoping to apply these ideas to programming self-driving cars that can prevent traffic jams. As the number of cars on highways keeps growing,the traffic flow gradually slows down. Studies show that when the density(度)reaches 15 vehicles per mile per lane(车道)，a single driver's sudden stop can give rise to long-lasting and widespread traffic jams.Scientist Katsuhiro Nishinari,a mathematical physicist studying traffic transitions,compares this phenomenon to a phase transition,such as water turning into ice.Even small individual actions in such situations can quickly develop into major traffic issues. Katsuhiro Nishinari's previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can keep smooth movement even when their population density is very high.A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals,moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to overtake.Their behavior depends on their teamwork rather than individual preferences. This collective intelligence offers a lesson for human drivers today.One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating.Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves caused by sudden braking in dense traffic-a simple practice that considers the smooth flow ofthe whole first instead of individual hurry.Of course,ants have the natural advantage of creating flexible paths,while cars are bound to fixed lanes.But the principle of keeping proper spacing remains important for safety and efficiency on our roads. Looking ahead,the real change may come from technology.As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, "Unlike human drivers who often act independently,future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system."Inspired by ants,these vehicles can 英语试题第6页共1】页 upgrade traffic flow as a cooperative system,potentially requiring updates to existing rules to fully realize their benefits. 38.What can cause widespread highway traffic jams directly? A.A total of 15 cars per mile. B.The speed-up of the cars. C.Ant behaviors affecting driving. D.A sudden stop at a certain density. 39.What is the purpose of mentioning the recent follow-up study in paragraph 3? A.To compare ants with human drivers. B.To point a finger at present traffic rules. C.To explain the math behind traffic jams D.To detail how ants achieve smooth movement. 40.What does the underlined word"tailgating"probably mean in paragraph 4? A.Driving too close to the front. B.Keeping a proper distance. C.Trying to overtake cars in front. D.Changing lanes too frequently. 41.What is Katsuhiro Nishinari's suggestion for ant-inspired self-driving cars? A.Redesigning rules for all self-driving vehicles. B.Acting as one unit to manage traffic flows well. C.Gathering data to analyze road conditions fully. D.Upgrading roads to ensure overall driving safety. D The potato:Mash it,bake it,fry it...No matter how you deal with it,the potato is the very example of all that is ordinary.And yet it has long harbored a mystery.Scientists find that certain genes (suggested that potatoes were more closely related to tomatoes,while other genes gave the impression that potatoes and Etuberosum(茄科植物)had the closer relationship.Which one was it? A new study in Cell offers the answer.Researchers led by botanist Sandy Knapp discovered that the potato genes originated in the Americas where an ancient hybridizing event between the ancestors of tomatoes and Etuberosum took place around 9 million years ago.This is when the Andes Mountains were forming.This rare hybridization created a new plant with a unique ability that neither of its parent plants has:forming underground tubers (the part we eat)."They're a way for a plant to store starch(淚粉)，”Knapp says,“and,in a way,survive seasons which are not good for growing.” Understanding the potato's origins,specifically the key genes received from each parent group that control tuber formation,opens new possibilities."We can use the tomato or Etuberosum to perhaps do some genetic engineering to improve the potato,"Knapp says.One such improvement would enable farmers to grow potatoes resistant to pests,a changing climate, and other environmental challenges.Simply put,"The tomato can be the future of the potato," says Zhiyang Zhang,a plant genetics Ph.D.student and a lead researcher on the study. The origin of potatoes offers much food for thought.You had two things and something completely different emerged.Through hybridization.you can generate many new combinations in a short time.And you can generate more species to adapt to changeable environments. 英语试题第7页共1】页 "Hybridization is a real force in evolution that allows for the release of variation,"Knapp explains."Of course,not all hybridizing events have produced results as wildly successful as the potato.But we're quite lucky in this case that this one worked." 42.What remained uncertain about potatoes at first? A.Their genetic origin. B.Their plain look. C.Their various relatives. D.Their serving methods. 43.What can underground tubers function as? A.The plant holder. B.A new parent plant. C.A nutrition provider. D.The season indicator. 44.What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A.Potatoes would be in greater need. B.Potatoes would be more adaptable. C.The farming approach goes greener. D.The genetic engineering is improving. 45.What does Knapp think of hybridization? A.It helps create diverse species. B.Its success relies on luck. C.Its operation is easy to learn. D.It is worth applying worldwide. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Books often struggle to engage modern readers,and this can be especially true for nonfiction. For many people,it's less exciting and less emotional than fiction.However,the problem may not be with nonfiction,but how they read it. Some people start a nonfiction book but quit after reading a few chapters.They read probably because someone gives them the book or everyone is reading it.That's not helpful to stay in a committed relationship with nonfiction.46 No matter what yours is,write it down before starting to read.It'll prepare your mind on what to look for in that book. If you're already a fiction reader,start with narrative nonfiction,which carries a strong storytelling element.This kind of writing is so engaging that you may almost forget the story being told is factual.47However,if you still feel burdened by an entire book,an anthology (might be a perfect solution.As collections of shorter pieces,anthologies aim to bring together the best writing on a particular subject.48 Once you're drawn in,you'll find more to read. _49 For those who prefer highlighting and taking notes,a physical book may be a nice choice.In contrast,e-books are ideal if portability (or the ability to adjust the text are your priorities.However,if you're already a listener to nonfiction recorded programs,audio books might be the perfect fit for you. Reading nonfiction can be challenging,but remember there's always a book on the topic that interests you.It may be about historical events that shape our lives or stories where truth outshines fiction.50 英语试题第8页共1页 A.So it requires a personal insight into the book. B.Some of the pieces are sure to grab your interest. C.It's a natural bridge between fiction and nonfiction. D.Instead,you should have a clear objective of reading E.Reading habits affect our selections of nonfiction topics. F.Choosing suitable forms is also key to enjoying nonfiction. G.Whichever it is,the time spent on nonfiction can be rewarding 第四部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分) 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 As a talkative tour guide,I always seem to have something to say,enjoying sharing my own experiences.I take notes no matter where I go-museums,lectures,tours-collecting all the facts to 51 later.So when I cruised to Greenland,I arrived with my usual 52 for collecting stories,completely unprepared for the lesson I would receive on 53 In Nuuk,I met Tina,an Inuit culturalist.She spoke with purpose and compassion,intentionally, but not 54.Through Tina,I learned that Inuit people don't simply 55 silence- they embrace it.She recalled her large family sitting together for hours,wordlessly enjoying each other's 56,or summers spent absorbing the sounds of birds and creeks without feeling the need to 57.
