(A) For a long time,people imagined trees as independent giants-silent witnesses of history, standing firmly through storms and seasons.Poets and philosophers often described them as symbols of endurance,wisdom,or even loneliness.But modern research invites us to see trees in a new light:not as isolated individuals,but as members of a networked,cooperative,and communicative community. Scientists have discovered that trees are deeply connected to one another,both above and below the ground.High in the forest canopy ()leaves send out chemical signals when attacked by insects,warning nearby trees to defend themselves.Underground,a vast web of fungi called mycorrhizal networks links tree roots together,allowing them to share water,nutrients,and information.ihrough these connections,healthy trees can support weaker ones,and even dying "Mother Trees"pass on resources to the next generation. This perspective breaks away from the old romantic image of the lone tree.Instead,forests appear more like societies,where survival depends on cooperation as much as competition.Just as humans rely on families,friends,and communities,trees also thrive through cooperation.They show us that strength in nature is not only about standing tall alone,but also about being part of a greater whole. The new vision of trees also leads us to philosophical questions.Can trees be considered intelligent if they react to their environment and communicate with one another?They have no brains,nerves,or senses like humans,yet they demonstrate strategies for survival that seem surprisingly sophisticated.Some scientists hesitate to use words like"intelligence"or "awareness," but it is clear that trees show forms of interaction we once believed only animals could achieve. Understanding trees as social beings challenges us to rethink our relationship with nature. Forests are not silent backgrounds to human life;they are living communities with lessons to offer. By observing how trees share,communicate,and adapt together,we may learn something valuable about cooperation,resilience,and the balance needed in our own societies. 56.What is the function of mycorrhizal networks underground? A.They prevent insects from damaging roots B.They protect trees from storms and winds. C.They help trees grow taller by supporting the trunks. D.They connect trees,allowing the sharing of resources. 57.What can be inferred about"Mother Trees"? A.They are symbolic rather than real. CS扫描全能王丨高清扫描·专业出品 B.They have special senses that detect danger. C.They give up resources for the survival of younger trees. D.They are the tallest trees among all the trees in the forest. 58.Which best summarizes the new vision of trees presented in the passage? A.Trees are intelligent life forms equal to humans. B.Trees survive by competing for light and water. C.Trees live as part of interconnected systems that share and cooperate. D.Trees should be admired mainly for their beauty,strength and loneliness. 59.What is the author's attitude toward the idea of trees as social beings? A.Strongly against it. B.Supportive and reflective. C.Neutral and uninterested. D.Doubtful but open-minded. (B) Today's youth are different from generations who came before in several important ways.For example,they are more diverse,educated,connected and socially engaged overall than previous generations.Here are some of the data. More Diverse More Educated In 2016,27 percent of teens and young As of 2018,97 percent of 15-year-olds were adults aged 15 to 34 identified themselves as a in school.Also,in 2016,only 9 percent of men member of a visible minority group,compared and 5 percent of women aged 25 to 34 did not with 13 percent in 1996,and almost 75 percent of complete high school, youth have friends from another compared to 22 percent and ethnic(种族的)group. 19 percent,respectively,in 1997.

(C) There will eventually come a day when the New York TImes ceases to publish stories on newsprint.Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate."Sometime in the future,"the paper's publisher said back in 2010. Nostalgla (for ink on paper,there are plenty of reasons to abandon print.The Infrastructure(基a础设施)required to make a physical newspaper-printing presses,delivery trucks-isn't just expensive;it's excessive at a time when online-only competitors don't have the same set of financial restrictions.Readers are migrating away from print anyway.And though print ad sales still overshadow their online and mobile counterparts,revenue (from print is still declining. Cost may be high and circulation lower,but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a 第8页共I川页 CS扫描全能王|高清扫描·专业出品 mistake,says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti. Peretti says the Times shouldn't waste time getting out of the print business,but only if they go about doing it the right way."Figuring out a way to accelerate that transition would make sense for them,"he said,"but if you discontinue it,you're going to have your most loyal customers really upset with you." Sometimes that's worth making a change anyway.Peretti gives the example of Netflix discontinuing its DVD-mailing service to focus on streaming(流媒体).“It was seen as a mistake,” he said.The move turned out to be foresighted."If I were in charge at the Times,I wouldn't pick a year to end print,"Peretti said"I would raise prices and make it into more of a legacy product." The most loyal customers would still get the product they favor,the idea goes,and they'd feel like that they were helping maintain the quality of something they believe in."So if you're overpaying for print,you could feel like that you were helping,"Peretti said."Then increase it at a higher rate each year and essentially try to generate additional revenue."In other words,if you're going to print product,make it for the pcople who are already obsessed with it,which may be what the Times is doing already.Getting the print edition seven days a week costs nearly S500 a year--more than twice as much as a digital-only subscription. "It's a really hard thing to do and it's a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesn't have a legacy business,"Peretti remarked."But we're going to have questions like that where we have things we're doing that don't make sense when the market changes and the world changes.In those situations,it's better to be more aggressive than less aggressive. 63.The New York Times is considering ending its print edition partly due to A.the high cost of operation B.the pressure from its investors C.the complaints from its readers D.the increasing online ad sales 64.Peretti suggests that in face of the present situation the Times should A.seek new sources of readership B.end the print edition for good C.aim for efficient management D.strategic adjustments 65.It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 and Paragraph 6 that a"legacy product" A.helps restore the glory of former times. B.is meant for the most loyal customers. C.will have the cost of printing reduced. D.expands the popularity of the paper. 66.Peretti believes that in a changing world_ A.legacy businesses are becoming outdated B.cautiousness helps problem-solving C.traditional luxuries can stay unaffected D.aggressiveness better meets challenge 第9页共11页 CS扫描全能王|高清扫描·专业出品 Section C Directlons:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given m the box. Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. B.Space allows us to expand and succeed:for the sake of everyone on the earth,now and in the future,space exploration is essential. C. The mysterious space objects varying in size have been fascinated scientists and scholars for years. D.It appears that we are driven to ensure the success and continuation of not just our own genes, but of the species as a whole. E. Therefore it still poses a problem for us human beings whether to explore the space at the cost of our own homelands F.While space may hold many.wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works,it also holds dangers. Why should mankind explore space?Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings.What prompted our distant ancestors to move from the trees into the plains,and on into all possible areas and environments?67.The wider the distribution of a species,the better its chance of survival. Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be located.Additional resources are always beneficial when used wisely,and can increase our chances of survival. Knowledge or techniques acquired through exploration,or preparing to explore,filter from the developers into society at large.68.Also,we have already benefited from other by-products,including improvements in earthquake prediction-which has saved many lives-in satellites used for weather forecasting and in communications systems.Even non-stick saucepans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products of technological developments in the space industryl 69 ..The chances of a large comer (hitting the Earth are small,but it could happen in time.Such strikes in the past may account for the extinction of dinosaurs and other species.Human technology is reaching the point where it might be able to detect the possibility of this happening,and enable us to minimize the damage,or prevent it completely, allowing us as a species to avoid extinction. In certain circumstances,life on Earth may become impossible:over-population or wide spread diseases,for instance,might eventually force us to find other places to live.While the earth is the only planet known to sustain life,surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to inhabit other planets and moons.It is true that the lifestyle would be different,but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future. 70 第10页共11页 CS扫描全能王|高清扫描·专业出品 IV.Translation:10% Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words and phrases given in brackets.3%+3%4%) 71.该基金会现在致力于保护那些处于弱势的家庭免受严寒与饥饿之苦。(shelter) 72.从约翰的表情判断，他没有心情和你聊那篇文章，因为他的研究项目没有被审核通过。(mood:approve)) 73.尽管他的多次尝试均以失败告终，但他仍然不遗余力地去实现那个被许多人认为不可能实现的梦想，而不是轻言放弃。(fo,ed) CS扫描全能王|高清扫描·专业出品
