The study. (22)_________ has yet to be published in a scientific Journal, adds another dimension to scientists(23)________ (grow)understanding of how plants detect and interact with their surroundings.In recent years, it has become very clear that plants are more sensitive than researchers (24)_________ (think). They respond when touched by insects and turn toward sources of light. “Plants are not just robotic stimulus-response devices,” said Frantisek Baluska of the University of Bonn in Germany. “They’re living organisms which have their own problems.”Actually making their suffering hearable, however, is another matter entirely.(25)________(test) that possibility, a team led by Itzhak Khait, a plant scientist at Tel Aviv University in Israel, placed microphones capable of detecting ultrasonic frequencies(超声波频率) four inches from tomato and tobacco plants. The researcher then either stopped watering them or cut their stems.Measuring in the range of 20 to 150 kilohertz (千赫) the researchers found that even happy healthy plants madethe occasional noise. But when cut, tobacco plants emitted (26)_________average of 15 sounds within an hour of being cut, (27)_________tomato plants produced 25 sounds.(28)_______researchers aren’t yet sure how plants produce these sounds, Khait and his colleagues proposed one possibility in their paper (29)____________as water travels through the plants' tubes, air bubbles will form and explode, producing small vibrations.All this “screaming” caused by stress wasn’t in a range detectable by human ears. But organisms that can hear ultrasonic frequencies like mice, bats or perhaps other plants (30)________possibly hear the plants cries from as far away as 15 feet.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Italians find “Moments of Joy in this Moment of Anxiety”It started with the national anthem. Then came the piano chords, trumpet blasts, violin serenades(小夜曲) and even the clanging of pots and pans--all of it (31)_________from people’s homes, out of windows and from balconies, and resounding across rooftops.Finally, on Saturday afternoon, a nationwide (32)__________of applause broke out for the doctors on the medical front lines fighting the spread of Europe’s worst coronavirus outbreak.Italians remain (33)_________under house arrest as the nation, the European front in the global fight against the coronavirus, has ordered extraordinary restrictions on their movement to prevent infection.But the music and noise erupting over the streets, from people (34)_________in their homes, reflects the spirit, resilience and humor of a nation facing its worst national emergency since the Second World War.To the extent that this is a virus that tries people' s souls, it has also demonstrated the (35)__________of those national characters.In China, patriotic truck drivers risked infection to bring(36)_________needed food to the people of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak. In Iran, videos show doctors in full combat dress and masks dancing to keep (37)_______up. And in Italy, the gestures of gratitude and music ring out above the country’s empty streets, while social media feeds fill with (38)___________, sentimental and humorous web videos.Images of nurses collapsed from exhaustion or their faces bruised(使受瘀伤) from tightly(39)________maskshave also spread across the web in recent days. Parents posted pictures of unicorns and rainbows drawn by young children with the title “It will all be OK.”“We’re Italians, and loving singing is part of our culture,” said Giorgio Albertini, 51, an archaeology professor who clapped from his apartment balcony in the university district of Milan, calling it a way “to feel a community, and to have the (40)_________grief.”Ⅲ Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Making choices is hard. That would be why researcher Moran Cerf has (41)_________it from his life. As a rule, he always chooses the second menu item at a restaurant.This is (42)___________by his research in neuroeconomics(神经经济学)( a somewhat new, divisive field) at Northwestern University. As Business Insider describes, Cerf has extended his ideas which draw on some controversial ideas in psychology, including ego depletion out into a piece of advice that, to (43)_________happiness, people should "build a life that requires (44)________decisions by surrounding themselves with people who possess traits they prefer.On an instinctive level, Cerf’s idea (45)_____________: Many choices people make are the product of social pressures and the inputs of (46)___________people around them. One example Cerf furnishes is that, (47)________consistently ordering the second menu item. he never picks where to eat. Rather, he (48)________his decision to his dining partner which friend he plans to eat with, probably one he trusts and always lets them pick.While it's (49)__________what, if any, scientific principles underlie those pieces of advice, there is no shortage of research showing that choices can sometimes feel more(50)_______than liberating. An example from Quanta poits (假设): If you have a clear love of Snickers(士力架), choosing that over an Almond Joy(杏仁巧克力) or a Milky Way(牛奶巧克力) should be a(51)________. And, as an experiment conducted by neuroscientist Paul Glimcher at NYU shows, most of the time it is, (52)_________you introduce more choices. When the participants were offered three candy bars (Snickers, Milky Way, and Almond Joy) they had no problem picking their favorite, but when they were given the option of one among 20, including Snickers, they would sometimes drift away from their (53)_____. When the choices were taken away in later trials. the participants would wonder what caused them to make such a bad decision.As Quanta details, according to a model called" 'divisive normalization(分裂归一化), which has gained some popularity, the way the brain encodes choices has a lot to do with how it values all its options. So, if you have twothings that are clearly (54)___________, brain areas involved in decision-making fire in a pattern that makes the decision clear. When the choices are comparable. the brain does its best to focus on the distinctions between the two, but more choices (55)_________ that ability out.41. A. relieved B. released C. eliminated D. liberated42. A. influenced B. inherited C. implemented D. informed43. A. maximize B. balance C. cherish D. seek44. A safer B. fewer C. better D. sounder45.

A. after B. before C. when D. until53. A. preference B. struggle C. status D. directionA. impressiveB. insignificantC. uniqueD. distinct55.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One spring day, once the flowers have begun to open, a bee will hover (盘旋)and zip through your yard and dive-bomb your picnic table. While you're thinking about avoiding an attack, that bee is focused on something else entirely: me.A honeybee has about six weeks to live. Today, like most days, her task is to fly as many as three miles from home. stick her long. straw like tongue into a hundred or so flowers. When the bee has had her fill. she’ll fly home. There the bee will deposit what she has got into the mouth of one of her co-workers, who will relay it to another, and so on for about 20 minutes, until the mixture is ready to be placed into the comb. Then she and her 50.000 or so mates will hover in the dark all night every night, flapping their wings to create hot, breezy conditions to remove the waterfrom the mixture. Several sunrises later, they will seal me off in a golden cell of beeswax. In her lifetime, our bee may visit 4,000 flowers, and yet will produce only one-twelfth a tea spoon of me.The average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of me every year, in tea, on toast, and beyond. If I do say so myself, I am a timeless treasure. Literally I never go bad.Unfortunately, my good health is not guaranteed. The problem lies in the growth of industrial agriculture and the use of pest control chemicals, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit. I’d appreciate your letting your own garden grow just a little wild. My future depends on all of us fostering spring and summers wild flowers, thus helping the bees, who give so much to you, to me without ever asking for anything in return.56. What does “me” refer to in the passage?A. The flower.B. The bee.C. Water. D Honey.57. What is the 2nd paragraph mainly about?A. Bees’ special talent.B. Bees’ hard work.C. Bees’ living environment.D. Bees’ social behavior.58. Which one of the following is true according to the passage?A. A bee will always prioritize attacking picnic lovers.B. Before “me” is sealed off in beeswax, the drying process can take a few nights.C. The lifework of a bee satisfies the average demand of an American consumer annually.D. Bees are more likely to visit those deliberately pest-controlled gardens59. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To appeal for help for honeybees.B. To talk about the history of a treasure.C. To put forward techniques for gardeners.D. To argue against the control of chemicals.(B)Get Your Unlimited Card at Cineworld CinemasEnjoy Unlimited FilmsWatch all the films you want at any Cineworld for just one monthly price.Being an Unlimited card holder gives you access to all the 2D films you canhandle for one monthly price.

If it extends further south overpopulated areas, such as southern Greenland, people would be at increased risk of sunburn. However, on current trends the hole is expected to disappear altogether in a few weeks.Low temperatures in the northern polar regions led to an unusual stable polar vortex(极地漩涡) and the presence of ozone-destroying chemicals such as chlorine(氯)in the atmosphere-from human activities caused the hole to form.“The hole is principally a geophysical curiosity.” said Vincent-Henri Peuch, director of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service. “We monitored unusual dynamic(动态的)conditions, which drive the process of chemical depletion of ozone. Those dynamics allowed for lower temperatures and a more stable vortex than usual over the Arctic, which then triggered the formation of polar stratospheric(平流层的)clouds and the catalytic(催化的) destruction of ozone.”The hole is not related to the Covid-19 shutdowns that have dramatically cut air pollution and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. It is also too early to say whether the unusually stable Arctic polar vortex conditions are linked with the climate crisis, or part of normal stratospheric weather variability.Peuch said there were no direct implications for the climate crisis. Temperatures in the region are already increasing, slowing the depletion of ozone, and the hole will start to recover as polar air mixes with ozone rich air from lower latitudes. The last time similar conditions were observed was in spring 2011.While a hole over the Arctic is a rare event, the much larger hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic has been a major cause for concern for more than four decades. The production of ozone depleting chemicals has been dramatically reduced, under the1987 Montreal Protocol(蒙特利尔协议), but some sources appear still to be functioning in 2018unauthorized emissions were detected from some areas.New sources of ozone depleting chemicals were not a factor in the hole observed in the Arctic, said Peuch. “However, this is a reminder that one should not take the Montreal Protocol measures for granted and that observations from the ground and from satellites are central to avoid a situation where the ozone destroying chemical level in the stratosphere could increase again.”63. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “depletion”?A. replacement.B. consumption.C. increase.D. production.64. According to the passage, scientists are concerned about the hole because____________.A. it is expected to be a threat to the mankind.B. the new hole is caused by air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.C. it may encourage further scientific research and environmental awareness.D. it wars us of an oncoming climate crisis.65. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?A. The hole over the Arctic shares the same causes as the one over the Antarctic.B. Human activities are highly responsible for producing ozone-destroying chemicals.C. The Montreal Protocol has successfully prevented new emissions.D. Some new illegal emissions are to blame for the hole over the Arctic.66. The best title for the passage is probably_________.A. Record-size Hole Opens in Ozone Layer above the Arctic.B Actions Urgently Needed for a New Hole in Ozone Layer.C Environmental Disaster and International Cooperation.D. How a Hole in Ozone Affects our Life on Earth.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.People like to post their selfies(自拍照)on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behaviors connected to narcissism, the researchers said. (67)_________Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University. said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.(68)_________Some people feel “peer pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience. it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. (69)_______Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. (70)__________On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos even if they click “like”.TV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage, Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.It's natural to feel the need to control something when everything around you feels out of control, and you feel helpless. When a friend of mine first heard about the coronavirus outbreak. she got down on her hand. and knees and cleaned her kitchen floor. She told me, “My floor wasn’t even dirty, but doing something constructive made me feel in control and that I was holding on to my power, despite the desperate circumstances.”Your most powerful weapon against uncertainty is your perspective because nobody and no situation can take that from you unless you give it away. Your perspective can victimize or empower you. When you look for the upside in a downside situation and figure out what you can control and what you can't, it's easier to accept whatever is beyond your control.高三英语调研测试(试卷参考答案)I Listening ComprehensionSection A1-5 BDBCB6-10 CBCCDSection B11-13 AAC14-16 BAD17-20 ACDCII.

Summary WritingFor reference:Strengthening or retrieving a sense of control is a natural demand. First, good perspective is of the greatest help, for evaluating the situation properly brings a clearer picture. Second, kind behaviors during tough times can secure you a sense of control as well. Third, actions and thoughts of positivity also help as they may create hope and optimism.It's essential to feel you can control something in a crisis or emergency. Positive perspective is the most important, since it will ensure you confidence and power to pull through the difficult situation. Then doing small good deeds can free you from worry temporarily by helping others. Lastly. take some positive action to arouse the hope within you.V. Translation72. Never before have we been so eager/keen to go to school as we are now.73. Why not do something you love but don’t have time to do since you can only stay at home?74.

河南省普通高中2024届高三下学期3月高考适应性测试英语试卷(含答案)

河南省普通高中2024届高三下学期3月高考适应性测试英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解As any gardener knows, nature doesn’t need much space to grow strong and healthy—give her an inch, and she’ll take a mile! Here are four impressive examples of nature reclaiming (开发利用) our world for itself with amazing results.Houtouwan, ChinaIt lies on the island of Shengshan Town on the furthermost edge of a group of islands. The only way to get there is by private boat, or by bus, and then by ship. Its isolation (隔绝) was one of the prime factors leading to the abandonment of the village in the 1990s. Now, its walls and streets become green with overgrowth.Spreepark, GermanySpreepark was closed in 2001 and the local plant life soon got to work. Structures in use since the park originally opened in 1969 were quickly covered by leaves. Now, an initiative aims to bring the site back to life.Vallone dei Mulini, ItalyIts high humidity (湿度) encouraged a microclimate perfect for plant growth. As the abandoned buildings fell apart, the ruins and their surroundings became completely overgrown. Photographs taken of the site in 2006 went widespread online.Beng Mealea, CambodiaThough constructed around 900 years ago, this grand temple is far less frequented than its more famous neighbour, Angkor Wat. In 2020, it was submitted for consideration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Natural decline, among other factors, has caused serious damage to the site, allowing the surrounding jungle to overrun and combine with it. 1.What mainly caused Houtouwan’s abandonment?A. Its wet climate.B. The overgrowth of plants.C. Its separate location.D. The aging of walls and streets.2.Which place once became popular online?A. Houtouwan.B. Spreepark.C. Vallone dei Mulini.D. Beng Mealea.3.What feature do the four places share?A. They are World Heritage Sites.B. They are being taken back by nature.C. They are nearly 1,000 years old.D. They are regaining their original state.While climbing the Great Wall is a once-in-a-lifetime dream for many, Jim Spear has taken it a step further, spending the last 18 years as a village r residing beneath this ancient wonder.“Never did I dream I would have the chance to visit the Great Wall, let alone live under it,” said 68-year-old Spear, a self-taught architect from the United States.Spear’s interest in China began during his college days. It deepened when he met Tang, a Chinese girl, in 1980, and they got married two years later. In 1986, he decided to drop out of his doctoral studies in Chinese politics at the University of California and moved to China “to get to the heart of things”. “I realized that if I became a scho lar of China, based overseas, I wouldn’t be able to experience what was happening in China,” Spear said.In 1995, the couple secured a long-term rent of a traditional village farmhouse in Mutianyu and decided to make it their full-time home ten years later. Shortly after possessing full-time village life, he rented an abandoned schoolhouse and transformed it into a restaurant and art glass factory for a sustainable tourism business. He also turned a former factory into a hotel and helped renovate (翻新) over 20 households into restaurants. Besides, he explored other ways to support those residents in rural areas. “I want to do something for them,” Spear said.Spear’s designs reflect his natural talent for fusing (融合) traditional and modern elements, adopting the Great Wall style. However, Spear emphasized his approach involves creating designs and views “that echo (呼应) the Great Wall, not copy it”. In 2014, Spear received the Great Wall Friendship Award from the Beijing government.Talking about the future, Spear sees abundant possibilities in China, driven by significant domestic demand and a growing emphasis on preserving historic structures. 4.What do we know about Spear from the first two paragraphs?A. He likes to climb the Great Wall.B. He came to China when he was 18.C. He once dreamed of becoming a villager.D. He has lived beneath the Great Wall for years.5.What’s Spear’s purpose of moving to China when he was in college?A. To see a real China.B. To marry a Chinese girl.C. To work as an architect.D. To study Chinese politics.6.What is special about Spear’s designs?A. They are inspired by rural residents.B. They copy the style of the Great Wall.C. They have received a world-wide prize.D. They connect the past with the present.7.What will Spear possibly plan to do in the future?A. Continue to engage in cultural exchange.B. Work for another award in structure preserving.C. Find more ways to support the rural residents.D. Conduct further study in Chinese historic structures.Why do we find ugly animals so appealing? And what makes odd-looking creatures so cute?Evolution (进化) plays a role. According to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz, human attraction to childish features, such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies, is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for their young, guaranteeing the survival of their species. Odd-looking animals such as blobfish, pugs, and bulldogs all share these childish qualities that initiate an affectionate response among humans. And these childish characteristics increase a person’s “protective behavior, attention and willingness to care” for the individual and reduce the “likelihood of attacks towards a child”, says Marta Borgi, a researcher.Ugly animals often have other value—some, like the blobfish or the naked mole rat, live in extreme environments that they have adapted to in remarkable ways. Scientists are keen to study these animals to understand whether their biology might provide fresh insights that could lead to treatments for human health conditions such as cancer, heart disease and other deadly diseases.Our fascination with ugly-cute animals can also be traced back to culturally-based causes. “The ugly-cute thing is very fashionab le,” says Rowena Packer, a lecture r of animal behavior. “This is partly driven by social media, with many influential people showing off pet pugs and French bulldogs on the Internet,” she says.But there are some serious welfare concerns around this trend. Vets are urging people not to choose a flat-faced dog, because they suffer from serious health problems. Pugs and French bulldogs which have been selectively produced experience breathing difficulties, repeated skin infections and eye diseases.We may want to rethink our love for “ugly-cute” animals because of their silly featureslike protruding (鼓出的) eyes and wrinkly faces.8.Why do people like ugly animals according to Konrad Lorenz?A. People appriciate their efforts to survive.B. People appriciate their super adaptability.C. People are attracted by their childish looks.D. People are fond of their fast response speed.9.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. What media are changing people.B. How public practices influence people.C. Whether social media is worth believing.D. Why celebrities show off their pet animals.10.What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s love for ugly animals?A. Opposed.B. Supportive.C. Indifferent.D. Cautious.11.How does the author mainly answer the questions raised in Paragraph 1?A. By quoting different researchers’ findings.B. By showing some examples of keeping pets.C. By observing people’s behavior towards animals.D. By referring to authoritative evolutionary theory.An innovative creation will help transform treating diseases. Scientists at Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute developed tiny biological robots “Anthrobots” from human cells. These Anthrobots possess the astonishing ability to move across surfaces and have exhibited a remarkable healing (治愈) effect by stimulating neuron (神经元) growth in damaged lab dish regions. This discovery serves as a crucial stepping stone toward the researchers’ vision of employing biological robots as innovative too ls for healing, and disease treatment.This breakthrough originates from earlier research conducted by Michael Levin, Professor of Biology at Tufts University School of Arts & Sciences, and Josh Bongard at the University of Vermont. They once created biological robots called Xenobots from frog cells, capable of various functions including self-copying, for a limited number of cycles. However, it was unclear if biological robots could be formed using cells from other species.In their latest study, Levin and Tufts PhD student Gizem Gumuskaya discovered thatthose observed in Xenobots.Anthrobots showed the ability to move across a surface covered in human neurons grown in a lab dish, facilitating new growth to fill gaps caused by cell layer damage.“It is extremely interesting and completely unexpected that normal patients’ cells, without changing their DNA, can move on their own and encourage neuron growth across a re gion of damage. We’re now looking at how the healing mechanism works, and asking what else these constructs can do,” says Levin.One of the main advantages of using human cells lies in constructing biological robots from a patient’s cells to perform heali ng tasks without leading to immune (免疫的) responses. These Anthrobots naturally break down after a few weeks and can be easily absorbed into the body once their function is complete.Anthrobots can only survive under specific laboratory conditions, posing no risk of exposure or unintended spread outside the controlled environment. They do not reproduce, have no genetic changes, and therefore carry no risk of developing beyond safety measures. 12.What do Anthrobots do in healing patients?A. Replace human cells.B. Facilitate neuron growth.C. Create new human cells.D. Move across tissue surfaces.13.What does the underlined word “crafted” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Made.B. Divided.C. Copied.D. Designed.14.What is one of the main advantages of Anthrobots?A. They can be easily created from patients’ cells.B. They can be used in many controlled environments.C. They can avoid causing immune responses.D. They can have genetic changes when necessary.15.Which magazine is the text most probably taken from?A. Advanced Science.B. Sportsnet Magazine.C. Art in America.D. National Geographic.二、七选五16.Although it’s an age of typing, handwriting still matters. Today the danger of the technology which computers and the typing people are using on writing is becoming extremely enormous. ① .As primary school pupils and college students return for a new school year in the North America, many will place a greater-than-ever reliance on computers to take notes and write papers. Children are not just encouraged but required to bring laptops to class, with whichsome parents are disappointed. ②, and their professors complain of this serious distraction (分心) in classrooms.③, from recalling a random series of words to better grasping the concept of complicated ideas. In a study from 2014, students typing wrote down almost twice as many words and more passages verbatim (一字不差地) from lectures, suggesting they were not understanding so much as rapidly copying the material. Handwriting, which takes longer for nearly all university-level students, forces note-takers to integrate ideas into their own words.④ . Those taking notes by hand also perform better on tests when they are later able to study from their notes.Many studies have co nfirmed handwriting’s benefits, and many countries have taken action. About half American states have mandated (强制执行) more teaching of handwriting since 2010. In Sweden there is a similar campaign. ⑤. England’s national subjects already include teaching basic knowledge of handwriting by age seven. However, several school systems in America have gone so far as to ban most laptops. This is too extreme.A. And a heated debate is going about itB. They would no longer need to complainC. Writing on paper can improve everythingD. But so many are fond of typing in their jobsE. College students message instead of listening to lecturesF. This aids conceptual understanding at the moment of writingG. The government pushes for more handwriting and fewer devices三、完形填空(15空)Last year, cardiologist (心脏病专家) Steve Lome came to truly understand what it means to be at the right place at the right time.

Before modern medicine came to life, stone tools ① (use) to relieve pain. Over time, this natural practice developed into a comprehensive medical system and shaped the root of acupuncture.Acupuncture is a treatment that is aimed ②(promote) the body’s self-regulating functions.

Practitioners use needles to ⑥(effective) unblock theflow of energy and restore yin and yang balance.Looking beyond China, acupuncture has become a global treatment. Over the years, acupuncture ⑦ (see) many advancements in scientific research and modern medicine. According to a 2019 WHO report, acupuncture is used in 113 of its 120 member countries, ⑧(illustrate) its widespread recognition and application.Acupuncture, as ⑨ ancient Chinese treatment, is a reflect of a rich history and ⑩(significance) Chinese culture.五、书面表达33.假如你是李华。

AUnsolved Mysteries About Planet Earth♦Mystery 1 : Where did all the water come from?Water covers 70 percent of Eart h’s surface and earns it the nickname “the blue planet”. And where did it come from? The most popular scientific theory states that the H2() arrived in the form of several violent asteroids (小打星〉filled with ice. Another suggests that the water actually has been around since Earth's formatioa However it happened, though, it ^certainly worked out well for Earth’s life forms.♦Mystery 2 : What about all the oxygen?Another thing is the planet s oxygen. Tiny creatures released oxygen as a waste product, filling the atmosphere with it After that, the level of oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere went wildly up and down until it finally calmed down around 540 million years ago. Since then, it's remained at about the breathable level we experience today. But what caused it to be suddenly steady?♦Mystery 3: What caused the Cambrian (寒武纪)Explosion?The Cambrian Explosion refers to the explosion of complex life that occurred on the Earth about 540 million years ago. Before then,life had consisted mostly of bacteria. But at the be-ginning of the Cambrian period, complex creatures began developing at a rate never before seen* Suddenly» life forms had brains» eyes, and bones. Most creatures alive today can trace their blood back to the Cambrian period♦Mystery 4: Will we ever be able to predict earthquakes?We still haven't been able to come up with a way to accurately predict earthquakes. We can certainly try, but our current technology cannot predict them exactly. We know that earthquakesstart when rocks crack underground and send earthquake waves toward the sur- face,but we haven’t figured out why that happens,or how to predict it.21. What was created later by creatures on the Earth?A.Water.B.Oxygen.C. Bacteria.D. Ice.22. Which of the following tal ks about the Earth’s advanced species?A. Mystery 1.B. Mystery 2.C. Mystery 3.D. Mystery 4.23. What do we know about Mystery 4?A. It is the oldest mystery of the four.B. It will be solved in the near future.C. It is the most difficult to solve of the four.D. It is a matter that has extremely practical significance.BIn many films,when the owner is in trouble, his or her beloved dog would run home to seek help without fail. Yet, while this image has become an unforgettable part of our pop cul- ture,few people knew that the same sort of response applied to service dogs.Once a blind man fell flat on his face, which was awful but finally harmless. His service dog,however, was trained to get an adult if the owner had a seizure (癒痫),and it was sure this was a seizure. However, while the dog did what it was taught, the woman it found was merely annoyed but not alarmed. Thankfully* the dog’s owner was not in the situation of a medical emergency. However, the experience inspired him to share this information on social media,“If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help,” the owner explained “Don’t get scared, don't get annoyed, follow the dog! If the first person doesn’t cooperate, it moves on. ”Referring to the accident, a TV presenter asked a dog trainer, Olivia, some basic questions about service dog etiquette (规矩),including how humans should react if an unaccompanied service dog should approach them.“What the/re going to do is take their nose and gently push your leg,” the trainer ex plained, specifically noting that service dogs are not usually trained to jump or bark, “If you see adog in vest without a person attached to it, follow it. ” When asked if one should say something to ind icate theyVe prepared to follow the dog, Olivia said there’s no clear command. “The spoken language is not going to be a secret password,” she said. “You can say, ‘What?’ or ‘Where?’ or just start walking wherever the dog leads. ”Olivia concluded the TV show by adding that those who rely on service dogs CAn train their companion to move along to someone else,should the first person they come upon react negatively to the dog’s request. Doing so could finally save the owner’s life.24. What do we know about service dogs?A. They can’t understand others' spoken language.B. They are seldom known by most people.C. They often make people annoyedD.They only exist in the pop culture.25. In the owner’s emergency, a service dog will generall .A. ask the nearby person for helpB. run home for help from familiesC. jump or bark to draw humans' noticeD. stay beside the owner until he or she recovers26. How should people react to a separate service dog?A.Take it to the nearest police station.B. Communicate with it through commands.C. Keep it home until finding its owner.D. Follow it to anywhere it leads.27.What is the author s purpose of sharing the story?A. To encourage everyone to help disabled people.B. To introduce a talk show about service dogs.C. To spread knowledge of dealing with service dogs.D.To teach how to train service dogs well.CA child s early years of language development are important for the basics of school readi- growth. In a recent study, Perry and a team of fellowness, such as literacy (读写)skills and social and emotional University of Miami Assistant Professor of Psychology Lynn researchers who examined child speech communications over the course of a year found that children benefit from conversations with their peers (同龄人)and their teachers. The study examined how language use and development in 2-and 3-yearold children was influenced by what they heard from their teachers and their peers.“Previous research on language development looked mostly at the role of parent-child communication within a home setting or a lab environment, which means we’re missing a big part of a child’s everyday lif e-the classroom,” said Perry. “We know that parent language is important for children’s development and their academic achievement, but we don’t have much research on what happens in the kindergarten or preschool setting. ”Using a device (设备) called a language Environment Analysis (LENA) recorder, Perry collected hundreds of hours of audio recordings. Children wore the LENA recorder once a week. LENA then assessed whether the recorded audio was speech or not, andwhether the speech came from the child wearing the recorder or from an adult or another child talking to them.After studying the audio data, Perry found that the speech children heard from other chil-dren was positively related to their own language use, meaning children who heard the most from their peers learn more new words and vocalize more during the course of the year. Addi- tionally,there was a positive association between a teacher talking and children's language use and development—but only when that teacher talked to the child in a back-and-forth conversation, rather ,han iust talking to the child with no opportunity for the child to respond.“One importan t aspect of the study that stands out to me is how important it was to see those conversational turns with teachers, and that back-and-forth conversation with the child is very beneficial. We talked to the teachers about the results, and they are very excited about this finding and currently brainstorming additional opportunities to have conversations with children," adds Perry.28.What does the new study focus on?A.The basics of school readiness for preschool children.B.The parent-child communication at home or in the lab.C. The influence of talking in the kindergarten on children.D. The ways to improve preschool childrens healthy growth.29.How did the researchers perform their new study?A. By observing the children in class.B. By recording the child ren’s speech in class,C. By communicating with the children.D. By conducting a survey of teachers.30. What does the underlined word “vocalize” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Listen.B. Write.C. Read.D. Speak.31. What should teachers do to develop children’s speech ability according to the text?A. Repeatedly inspire children to speak more.B. Encourage children to listen to their own speech.C. Teach children to write more new words.D. Teach children to read more books.DLife beneath the sea surface can be lovely and lively. But many orgdnisms there produce poisonous chemicals to hunt Divers are now collecting such poisons as drugs for human medicine.Sharks aren’t the scariest things in the ocean for scientists who dive to work. Powerful currents, creating where the ocean floor drops away, can be just as deadly. But the scientists who work underwater train to deal with these dangers. The rewards of research and underwa-ter adventure are greater than the risks.The sea may seem like a strange place to look for new drugs. But organisms in the ocean have had to adapt to a tough environment. The chemicals they make for survival might help people* too. More than 50 years ago,scientists discovered a new anti-cancer drug in a sea sponge. Since then, researchers have been hunting the seas for more of such useful natural products.With the help of underwater robots and small submarines, scientists are searching the seas—from shallow reefs to the oceans' great depths.Bacteria living in the Arctic's cold waters break down their food using more different ways than organisms on land do. This process of turning food into energy for growth, activities and reproduction is called metabolism (新陈代谢).These pathways also produce chemicals called “secondary metabolites”. One day they also might help people.During a four-year project called Pharma Seas, scientists made thousands of extracts (提取物)from those seafloor samples.
