Created in 2022, the cafe was a response to the need in the community for programs that would enable youth with special needs to develop social and professional skills in a safe environment.The cafe was the idea of Pennsylvania mom Maureen Stanko, a teacher, fitness instructor, and musician, who was concerned about her son Nick, who has autism (孤独症) and food allergies, and what he would be able to do after graduation. In Pennsylvania, students with disabilities can stay in school until age 22, but worrying about Nick’s future is what keeps Stanko up at night.Stanko was so worried that she spoke to Nick’s therapist, Tyler Kammerle, who had dreamed about opening a restaurant to employ people with disabilities. The two worked together to make this a reality. Two years later, the So Much To Give Inclusive Cafe was born. It employed 63 people and 80 percent of them have some form of disability.The cafe is more than just a space to work; it’s also a place for people with disabilities and their families to dine. “We’d never even taken Nick to a restaurant before because we wouldn’t spend all this money to eat out to be completely stressed out,” Stanko said. “This cafe has taught Nick how to sit in a restaurant. And now we have a place to go, where if he stands up and starts hopping or clapping, nobody cares.”The inclusive cafe has made a real difference in people’s lives. One of the staff, Lauren Oppelts, who is hearing impaired, said, “If you told me two years ago that I would be a server, I wouldn’t believe you. But now I have gained so much self-confidence. A lot of employees here have changed so much; it’s just mind-blowing.”4.Why did Stanko and Tyler Kammerle establish the cafe?A.To serve people with various abilities.B.To provide a place for family occasions.C.To instruct graduates in professional skills.D.To offer employment to youth with special needs.5.What was Stanko’s concern about taking Nick to a restaurant?A.The cost of dining out.B.The noisy customers in restaurants.C.The lack of an inclusive environment.D.The food allergies Nick is suffering from.6.How has working at the cafe affected Lauren Oppelts?A.She has taken to socializing.B.She has grown more positive.C.She has become experienced in cooking.D.She has recovered from her hearing disability.7.Which of the following best describes Stanko?A.Caring and responsible.B.Ambitious and devoted.C.Determined and sensitive.D.Tough and reliable.An artificial intelligence (AI) tool of street view could be used to predict the risk of coronary heart disease — a condition where the heart’s arteries (动脉) are blocked, limiting blood flow to the heart by analysing neighbourhood environments, according to research.A study, published in the European Heart Journal, monitored everyday surroundings, including the quality of roads, buildings, and green spaces, and the role they play in determining heart health. Researchers were able to track the link between these environmental elements, including the presence or absence of pollution, and the risk of coronary heart disease. They found that these neighbourhood characteristics could account for 63% of the differences in heart disease risk from one community to another.The discovery stems from analysing more than half a million AI street view images across US cities, using computer vision to identify and interpret details that might go unnoticed by the human eye. The data provides urban planners and public health officials with information to design healthier living spaces and neighbourhoods.“Undoubtedly, there is a vast amount of social, economic and environmental data set,” said one of the study's authors, Prof Sanjay Rajagopalan. “However, there still remain significant gap s in our knowledge regarding unique environmental aspects of data that are currently beyond human comprehension. This is where the use of computer vision approaches may enable uniqueunderstanding of the physical and built environment.”By employing AI, researchers have been able to examine the details of neighbourhoods’ environment. The study employed computer vision technology, including applications used in medical imaging and autonomous driving, to identify details and then interpret them to make predictions or decisions.“We are getting to a place in human civilization where traditional approaches that have been used are rather limited and the use of AI to enhance human understanding is going to be critically important at solving complex problems,” Prof Rajagopalan said.8.What is the finding of the study?A.How people can prevent heart diseases.B.How environments affect heart health.C.How AI can reduce heart disease risks.D.How the heart's arteries are blocked. 9.What can the finding of the study help to do?A.Promote computer technology.B.Reduce air and water pollution.C.Design green neighbourhoods.D.Advertise for an AI company.10.Why was computer vision used in the study?A.The researchers had no environmental data.B.It had solved some environmentalproblems.C.People ignored the environment they live in.D.It helped people understand theenvironment.11.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.The development of AI for hospitals B.The medical use of a street view toolC.The insight into healthy neighbourhoods D.The link between the heart and environmentForests have been embraced as a natural climate solution, due to their ability to soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow, locking it up in their trunks, branches, leaves, and roots. But a new study confirms widespread doubts about the potential for most forests in the Western US to help control climate change.Published in Earth’s Future, the paper analyzed trends in carbon storage across the American West from 2005 to 2019. Led by Jazlynn Hall, a forest and landscape ecologist at Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, the team found that throughout most of the region, climate changeand fires may be causing forests to store less carbon, not more.“There’s a growing trend to use forests as natural climate solutions,” said Hall. “Many climate mitigation (减轻) pathways rely in part on additional forest carbon storage to keep warming below 1.5℃ this century. We wanted to provide a baseline for how much carbon is currently stored in Western forests, how it’s changing, and how disturbances like fire and drought pose a threat to climate mitigation targets.”The authors warn that many Western forests could see a rapid acceleration of carbon loss in the coming years or decades. “These challenges have the potential to compromise carbon storage capacity and weaken our ability to mitigate climate change, Hah cautions.By providing a fire-new view of threats at landscape and regional levels, Hall and colleagues provide a framework (框架) that could help forest managers adapt site-specific strategies to strengthen forest resilience (复原力). They also identify the remaining areas with the lowest risk and highest potential to store carbon, such as the Pacific Northwest.“Our study develops new methods to carefully estimate forest-carbon storage at a regional level, track it over time, and find out the causes of changes over time,” said Hall. He expects the methods will be useful in monitoring carbon storage levels going forward, as well as assessing the carbon impacts of management efforts such as forest thinning and planned burning.12.What does the underlined phrase “soak up” in paragraph 1 mean?A.Put down.B.Take in.C.Bring up.D.Give out. 13.Why was the study conducted?A.To find the best forests for carbon storage.B.To promote forests’ carbon storage capacity.C.To assess the current situation of forests.D.To measure the carbon released into forests. 14.What can we say about the future trend of Western forests?A.Carbon loss will speed up.B.They will become more resilient.C.They will store more carbon.D.They will have no impact on climate. 15.What is the primary function of Hall’s framework for forest management?A.Predicting future forest growth rates.B.Identifying high- risk areas for protection.C.Mapping all the forests in the Western US.D.Helping managers adapt strategies to forests.I am often struck by the thought that there is this huge life enhancing potential available to everyone on the planet that maybe we don’t always take great advantage of. 16 Through it, we help ourselves and others by sharing the things we have learned.17 I have been teaching and preaching from the time when it occurred to me that I had some really great stuff to share. But, strangely, it took me a long time to really identify what it was that I was doing, at least enough to put it into words.So, I’d like to share with you my thoughts on why teaching and sharing your knowledge can be so important to you as well as to the people around you. 18 See whether it profoundly enhanced so many parts of your life, even in the areas you’re already super successful in.Here is what makes teaching so great for the person doing the teaching. Any goal, habit, human quality, or desire that you start preaching, teaching, or pontificating about will automatically, and almost without effort, push you to do more of it yourself. 19 It pushes you to do what you are encouraging and teaching others to do. I am totally convinced this will, and does, work that way for everyone.What knowledge do you have, or have you learned that you want to be reminded and pushed to improve in your life? If you want to do better at it, there will be plenty of others that will want to do better at it too. 20A.It’s our ability to teach other people.B.We just need to talk and teach others about it.C.Doing this has been changing and helping my life for years now.D.Please, think deeply about this and then put it into practice in any way you can.E.Be sure to write down your goals and objectives as well so you can stay on track.F.The knowledge you share, whether spoken or written, is like a truth drug for the mind. G.So, why not teach and share what you know and help yourself do better and better at these things?二、完形填空Five years ago, Anna Lee, a cultural worker from Washington, D.C., bought a vase for $3.99 at a thrifty shop.

Louise’s husband’s friend, Richards, learned about a railroad disaster when he was in the newspaper office and saw Louise’s husband, Brently, on the list of those killed. Louise begins sobbing when Josephine, her sister, tells her of Brently’s death and goes upstai rs to be alone in her room.Louise sits down and looks out of an open window. She sees trees, smells approaching rain, and hears a peddler yelling out what he’s selling. She hears someone singing as well as the sounds of sparrows, and there are white clouds in the sky. She is young, with lines around her eyes. Still crying, she gazes into the distance. She feels sad and tries to hold down the building emotions within her, but can’t. She begins repeating the word“Free” to herself over and over again. Her heart beats quickly, and she feels very warm.Louise knows she’ll cry again when she sees Brently’s body. His hands were tender, and he always looked at her lovingly. But then she imagines the years ahead, which belong only to her now, and spreads her arms out joyfully with anticipation. She will be free, on her own without anyone to oppress her. She thinks that all women and men oppress one another even if they do it out of kindness. Louise knows that she often felt love for Brently but tells herself that none of that matters anymore. She feels thrilled with her newfound sense of independence.Josephine comes to her door, begging Louise to come out, warning her that she’ll get sickif she doesn’t. Louise tells her to go away. She imagines all the days and yea rs ahead and hopes that she lives a long life. Then she opens the door, and she and Josephine start walking down the stairs, where Richards is waiting.The front door unexpectedly opens, and Brently comes in. He hadn’t been in the train accident or even aware that one had happened. Josephine screams, and Richards tries unsuccessfully to block Louise from seeing him. Doctors arrive and announce that Louise died of a heart attack brought on by happiness.1. How did Louise learn about Brently’s death?A. She saw it in the news.B. Richards informed her.C. She found out through Josephine.D. The railroad company notified her.2. Which words can describe Louise after she heard the news?A. Excited and happy.B. Sad but relieved.C. Desperate and lonely.D. Joyful but terrified.3. What does the underlined word “oppressed” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Fight.B. Suspect.C. Control.D. Fool.4. What can we learn from the passage?A. Brently played a trick on Louise on purpose.B. The train accident caused Louise’s heart attack.C. Josephine’s scream resulted in Louise’s sudden death.D. Brently’s survival was the last thing Louise had expected.4.(10分)An international team of astronomers have announced the first organized search for alien technology in our own solar system. The Galileo Project, led by Professor Avi Loeb from Harvard University in the US, will look for signs of robotic spacecraft from other planets.The project might sound like science fiction but it’s rooted in science fact. Many astronomers believe that if life and intelligence have evolved elsewhere in our galaxy, then at least a few alien civilizations are likely to have launched probes to explore other solar systems and perhaps watch over habitable planets like Earth.One of the project’s main ai ms is to carry out a scientific study of UFOs (unidentifiedflying objects). Since at least the 1940s, many people have reported seeing strange objects or lights in the sky that fly in seemingly impossible ways. Some have even been caught on film. Although UFOs are unlikely to have alien pilots, Loeb suggests that they could be intelligent machines investigating the Earth to gather data. Since they are hard to explain from rare chance sightings, the project aims to set up automatic networks of telescopes to scan the skies. If a UFO is spotted, a variety of very precise instruments can then be used to track and measure it.Further afield, the team want to look for possible alien machines flying through our solar system. In 2017, scientists were excited when Oumuamua, a 400-metre-long object from outside our solar system, flew past the Sun at high speed. Most scientists think it was a natural comet that escaped from its orbit around another star, but because it was discovered by chance, there was little time to study it in detail. Loeb plans to search the skies for similar visitors, so that astronomers can learn more about them and investigate whether they might be artificial rather than natural.1 What does the underlined phrase “caught on film” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Shot down.B. Photographed.C. Trapped.D. Looked into.2. What can we know about UFOs from the passage?A. Alien pilots have been spotted in them.B. They are strange objects or lights in the sky.C. They must be spacecrafts searching our planet for statistics.D. Many accurate tools have been applied to track and measure them.3 The last paragraph develops mainly by___________.A. making a summaryB. drawing comparisonsC. explaining a conceptD. providing an example4. What is this passage mainly about?A. A science fiction which is rooted in science fact.B. A project to look for habitable planets like Earth.C.

A scientific study of our solar system carried out by Harvard University.5.(10分)China on Monday issued strict new measures aimed at addressing what authorities describe as youth videogame addiction, which they blame for a variety of societalills, including distracting young people from school and family responsibilities.The new regulation, announced by the National Press and Publication Administration, will ban minors from playing videogames entirely between Monday and Thursday. On the other three days of the week, and on public holidays, they will be only permitted to play between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m.The announcement didn’t offer a specific age for minors, but previous regulations targeting younger videogamers have drawn the line at 18 years old. Enforcement measures weren’t detailed, but in response to previous moves by the government to limit videogame playing by young people, Tencent Holdings Ltd., the world’s largest videogame company, has used a combination of technologies, automatically kicking off players after a certain period of time and using real-name registration and facial-recognition technology to limit game play for minors.In restricting videogame play for younger people, the government is seeking to “effectively protect the physical and mental health of minors,” China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency said Monday.Monday’s new rule is likely to be felt through China’s online gaming industry, one of the world’s largest. The measure comes as the Chinese government seeks to restrict China’s technology industry, a campaign that has caused a trillion-dollar selloff in Chinese stock market and hit a range of businesses, including for-profit education providers, ride-hailing(打车)services and e-commerce platforms.Videogames have become a particular object of anger as Beijing seeks to reshape an industry it has described as motivated by profit at the expense of public morals. A state-media remarks this month triggered a selloff in shares of Tencent after it published an article that described online games as “opium(鸦片)for the mind.”After the regulations were published on Monday, following the close of stock-market trading, Tencent said it had introduced a variety of new functions to better protect minors. It promised to continue to do so as it “strictly follows and actively implements the latest requirement s from Chinese authorities.”1. According to the new regulation, how long can a minor play videogames during a weekend?A. One hour.B. Two hours.C. Three hours.D. Unlimited hours.2. What measure does Tencent take to carry out the regulation?A. Parental guidance.B. Automatic registration.C. Compulsory offline.D. Fingerprint identification.3. Which negative influence of videogames is implied in this passage?A. They harm teenagers’ mental health.B. They make people easy to get angry.C. They make people entirely irresponsible.D. They bring in lots of profits for the government.4. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. No More GamesB. Protection of the YouthC. The End of Technology IndustryD. Further Restriction on Youth Gaming三、阅读七选五(本题共计1小题,总分12.5分)6.(12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Their mothers,watch them closely for fear that the children will fall off their bikes. The children are ready to learn how to ride.Rachel Varn still remembers how she felt riding a bicycle for the first time. Now her job is helping children experience that moment. Rachel Varn left her job of selling bicycles to become a trainer for bicycle riding last year.She founded Pedal Power Kids to teach bicycle education.Before starting a ride, she teaches the children how to make sure the bicycles are in good condition for safe use. She calls it “the ABC quick check. ” As is for air,she explains.“We have to check our tires before we ride.” We want to make sure our brakes work before we find ourselves on the top of a hill about to go down.And C is for chain.She says the chain must be clean.The rest of the training is more fun. The children learn riding skills,from balance and pedaling to turning,starting and stopping.And they learn to keep their eyes up and look ahead while riding. Varn says many children struggle to do this, They look down at the pedals (踏板)instead. She adds, “Obviously that doesn't allow them to see wha's going on around them,and it also doesn't allow them to turn properly.”Yarn says watching where you are going helps you turn easier.Learning to ride a bicycle can open a whole new world to children. It gives them asense of success and freedom. They become more sensitive to their surroundings and better able to make safe,smart decisions going from one place to another.Varn’s goal is to get more children on two wheels. Since starting Pedal Power Kids last year,Varn has helped around 250 new riders.24. How do the mothers feel when the children are ready to learn riding?A. Confident.B.Nervous.C. Excited.D.Relaxed.25.

What benefit can riding a bicycle bring according to the passage?A. It opens a new world to the mothers.B. It gives children a sense of achievement.C. It helps children stay away from video games.D. It makes children familiar with the surrounding.3.(8分)CHuman demands for natural resources have doubled in less than 50 years and are now beyond what the earth can provide, a report warned. If humans carry on like this, we will need two earths by 2030. The population of wildlife has fallen by 60% in thirty years.The report said British people are consuming (消耗) far more than the earth can deal with. If everyone lived such a lifestyle, humans would need 2.75 planets to survive. People are now living lifestyles which would require 1.5 planets, though there are great differences between rich and poor nations.Researchers studied the global change in land use and water consumption. The UK comes 31st in a list of countries based one “ecological footprint (生态足迹)” that measures howmuch land and sea each person needs to produce the resources they consume and to absorb (吸收) the wastes. The UK has fallen down from 15th place in the last report two years ago to 3lst place, but the WWF believes it is an increas e in other countries’ efforts rather than a reduction in the UK’s use of resources.Ireland has the 10th highest ecological footprint, while the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Denmark, Belgium and the US are the five worst countries for over-consumption of resources. The study suggests if the expected global population of 9.2 billion in 2050 were to eat a Malaysian diet, 1.3 planets would be needed but if everyone were to eat an Italian diet, humans would need almost two planets. Those countries that can provide the highest quality of life using the lowest amount of resources will not only serve the global interest, but will be the leaders in a resource-limited world.28.We will probably need __________earths if we follow the British lifestyle.A. 1.3B. 2.75C. 2D. 1.529.What do we know about “ecological footprint ”?A. It has something to do with human demands for resources and their wastes.B. It is used to produce the resources and absorb the wastes.C. We can know the total amount of resources on the earth through it.D. It is about changes in land use and water consumption across the globe.30.The WWF believes that_________.A. the earth won’t be able to meet human needs after 50 years.B. the UK has possibly not reduced the use of resources over the past two years.C. Ireland has a lower ecological footprint than the UK.D. there are no big differences in lifestyle between rich and poor nations.31.It can be learned from the text that Malaysia_________A. has a larger population than Italy.B. consumes fewer resources than Italy.C. would need almost two planets.D. has the highest quality of life.4.(8分)DAstronauts traveling in space meet forms of radiation (辐射) that are uncommon on Earth. Some of the radiation has been shown to be harmful to human health, which is linked to cancers and heart problems. Yet a new American study had a different finding.Researchers studied nearly 60 years of health records and other data (数据)about astronauts from the United States. They then compared the data to the information about a group of athletes, who receive good health care and are in good health.The result shows that neither group has higher rates of dying at a young age. In fact, both groups generally live longer than the other Americans.Astronauts are usually well-educated, earn more money and are in better physical condition. Some earlier research linked these to astronauts’ lower risk of early death.However, they might ignore the physical requirements of this job. In fact, there has not been much research on whether astronauts show what is known as the “healthy worker effect”. This effect leads people with the work of space travelling to have fewer medical problems than those who are not working in this field, said Robert Reynolds, a member of the study team.Reynolds said, “The problem has always been to understand if astronauts are as healthy as they would be if they had never gone to space. This means we have to find a group that is comparable on several important factors(因素).” Considering the similar physical requirements, a group of athletes are selected.As the result suggests, being exposed (暴露) to radiation doesn't lead to an early death for astronauts.“Diet and physical exercise also set astronauts and athletes apa rt from the rest of the population,” said Reynolds. “A job requiring physical fitness can add to the healthy worker effect. Even for the other people, remaining or becoming physically active and keeping a well-balanced diet greatly improve overall health and well-being, thus making successfully becoming older possible.”32.What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?A. Some forms of radiation are common on Earth.B. Some radiation is not harmful to human health.C. Astronauts may have other health problems.D. Astronauts’ health won’t be affected by radiation.33.Why do astronauts have a lower risk of early death according to the study?A. They are well protected from radiation.B. They have better knowledge about health.C. They are richer to afford better medical care.D. They need to stay healthy because of their job.34.Why are athletes chosen as a comparative group in the study?A. They work in different fields.B. They both need to be healthy enough.C. They receive the same diets and exercise.D. They suffer from the same health problems.35.What’s the main idea of the text?A. Astronauts are as healthy as athletes.B. One’s health is determined by his job type.C. Radiation actually doesn’t shorten astronauts’ lives.D. Exercise and balanced diets are secrets to a longer life.二、阅读七选五(本题共计1小题,总分10分)5.(10分)As spring comes to half the world,many people can enjoy the new growth that comes with warmer weather.

河北省衡水市2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次调研考试(9月月考)英语试题

河北省衡水市2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次调研考试(9月月考)英语试题

河北省衡水市2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次调研考试(9月月考)英语试题一、阅读理解Below are some strategies that can be employed in class to engage students in learning activities.Think — Pair — ShareThis technique is popular in the lower elementary grades to encourage speaking and listening skills. First, ask students to think about their response to a question, and then ask them to pair up with another person, usually someone nearby. The pair discuss their response, and then they share that response with a larger group.FishbowlA fishbowl is organized with two four student groups who sit facing each other in the center of the room. All the other students sit in a circle around them. Those students seated in the center discuss the question. Students on the outside circle take notes. In a variation, students on the outside may provide quick notes known as “fish food” by passing them to students on the inside for use in their discussion.Concentric CirclesOrganize students into two circles, one outside circle and one inside circle so that each student on the inside is paired with a student on the outside. The teacher poses a question to the whole group. Each pair discuss how to respond. After this brief discussion, the students on the outside circle move one space to the right. This will mean each student will be part of a new pair. The teacher can have them share the results of that discussion or pose a new question.PyramidStudents begin this strategy in pairs and respond to a discussion question with a single partner. At a signal from the teacher, the first pair join another pair which creates a group of four. These groups of four share their ideas. Next, the groups of four move to form groups of eight in order to share their best ideas. This grouping can continue until the whole class is joined up in one large discussion.1.Which strategy can a teacher adopt if he doesn’t want all the students to speak?A.Think — Pair — Share.B.Fishbowl.C.Concentric Circles.D.Pyramid.2.What’s a unique aspect of Concentric Circles?A.Students change partners.B.Students respond to a question.C.Students pass notes to each other.D.Students take turns to present their ideas. 3.How does Pyramid work?A.Best ideas are collected for a presentation.B.One group combines with another with each step.C.The whole class work together to carry out a project.D.Groups of four move around the classroom to share ideas.Malonga was born in Brazzaville, Congo, where his grandmother owned a restaurant. His love for food and cooking started there. He spent his teenage years in Germany and he started his career working in top European restaurants.In 2015, he competed in the French Top Chef TV show as the first Black chef to do so. When it came time to open his own restaurant, he took a two - year tour of the African continent, seeking inspiration.He opened Meza Malonga in 2020. Dinners at Meza Malonga have no menu — the meal changes based on seasonally available ingredients(食材)and what’s exciting Malonga at the moment. Giant windows open onto the hills of Kigali. The chefs present each course. There’s nobody yelling(大喊), “Yes chef!” and Malonga pointedly refers to “our restaurant… our menu… our project.” His longest employee is Frank Buhigiro, who says “The way we work is like we are family. You know, we don’t have pressure because we get time to think and create.”The restaurant is only open for eight months out of the year. For the other four months, Malonga and his team travel the continent. They experience different African cuisines first - hand, and source unique ingredients. But it’s more driven, more intense, than just sourcing. Malonga has visited 48 African countries, eating his way across the continent. Upon returning to Kigali, he brings back new flavors as souvenirs(纪念品). He describes new tastes like a shiny new toy. “Right now, I’m eating cassava leaves — I love it!”Malonga wants to carve out a space for African food in the global fine dining scene. Something he thinks is increasingly possible based on how people travel. Now, he says, people book trips not based on where they sleep, but where they eat.4.What gave Malonga his early inspiration for his career?A.A European cooking show.B.A famous chef in Germany.C.His book about African cuisine.D.His grandmother’s restaurant.5.In what way is Meza Malonga unique?A.It combines dining with traveling.B.It has a fixed menu that never changes.C.Diners can choose their own ingredients.D.The chefs present each course to the diners.6.What’s the working atmosphere like in Meza Malonga?A.Easy and simple.B.Warm and relaxing.C.Formal but exciting.D.Positive but tense.7.What is the main purpose of Malonga and his team’s travels across Africa?A.To enhance their team spirit.B.To search for designs for toy souvenirs.C.To experience cuisines and source ingredients.D.To seek suitable locations for opening new restaurants.Ernesto Gomez’s journey into ornithology (鸟类学) began with a childhood encounter with scarlet macaws as they flew past him in the green rainforest of Chiapas, Mexico. This experience fired a lifelong passion for birds and conservation, leading him to specialize in ornithology and join Pronatura Península deY ucatán (PPY), an environmental conservation group in Mexico.Gomez’s work is supported by Fish and Wildlife Service grant programs that improves wetland habitats for migratory birds and promotes environmental education and research. One of Gomez’s key projects involves restoring and managing wetland habitats in the Yucatan Peninsula, which has led to the return of several species. These efforts not only support bird populations butalso reduce the vulnerability of coastal communities by improving their capacity to adapt to environmental risks.Community engagement is central to PPY’s success, with the annual Toh Festival being a key example. This festival, named after a bird of cultural significance, hosts a variety of bird-related activities from March to November, including birding marathons, photo expeditions (探险), contests, tours, and workshops. These events inspire community members to appreciate and protect the region’s rich biodiversity.As a nature photographer, Gomez approaches his work with respect for the wildlife, aiming to remain careful to avoid disturbing the birds. His photography serves a higher purpose, creating media communications that support PPY’s environmental education and community outreach initiatives. His images not only record the beauty of birds but also provide a window into their world, inspiring people to learn more about the challenges they face and the habitats they depend on.Ernesto Gomez proved to us the power of photography to inspire and educate. His work ensures that the beauty of Yucatan’s birds and habitats continues to inspire, reminding us of the vital link between people and nature.8.Where did Ernesto Gomez’s interest in ornithology come from?A.An encounter with scarlet macaws.B.A documentary on wetland conservation.C.A photography exhibition about Mexican forests.D.An educational program onenvironmental science.9.What does the underlined word “vulnerability” mean in paragraph 2?A.The stability of regional biodiversity.B.The quality of being weak and easily hurt.C.The capability of managing wetland habitats.D.The probability of being adaptive to environmental risks.10.What is a primary purpose of the Toh Festival?A.To raise funds for conservation projects.B.To engage people in bird-related activities.C.To promote bird - watching as a tourism activity.D.To recognize the work of nature photographers.11.How do Gomez’s photos contribute to PPY’s mission?A.By providing visual documentation for scientific research.B.By attracting birding marathoners to the Yucatan Peninsula.C.By creating media communications for environmental education.D.By encouraging people to face the challenges of environmental conservation.Albino redwoods, with their slightly shining white appearance, are a rare sight in California’s coastal forests. Despite lacking chlorophyll, which is used to photosynthesize(光合作用), these trees have managed to survive, puzzling researchers for over a century. However, a recent study by biologist Zane Moore from the University of California in Davis may have uncovered the secret to their existence.Redwoods rank among the tallest organism on earth and claim an existence of some 3,500 years. They are known for their complex root systems that allow them to communicate and share nutrients during tough times. Researchers have seen this firsthand by introducing dye to trees on one side of an area of redwoods and tracing it all the way to the further reaches. In summer, they become more independent, and those unable to sustain themselves are cut off from the shared system in the autumn needle drop.So, if albino red woods can’t photosynthesize, why are they able to stick around? Moore’s research suggests that albino redwoods survive by tapping into the communal root system and absorbing sugars from healthier neighbors. Contrary to the belief that they are parasites(寄生植物), Moore’s findings indicate a symbiotic(共生) relationship.Albino redwoods tend to grow in less healthy conditions and have been found to contain high levels of poisonous heavy metals in their leaves. Moore theorizes that these trees are not only surviving but also serving a purpose by acting as a “reservoir(水库) for poison”, thus protecting their healthier counterparts.

Historically, Halloween pranks(恶作剧)were performed on October 31st. 16 However, by the 1920s and 1930s, these pranks changed into more serious acts of destruction, possibly due to the social tensions of the Great Depression.In an effort to deal with this destructive behavior, parents and community leaders encouraged the tradition of trick-or-treat. 17 This shift effectively moved the mischief from October 31st to October30th.The custom of Mischief Night is particularly popular in areas with a history of Irish and Scottish immigration, such as the northeastern United States and English-speaking communities inCanada. 18According to a Cambridge Online Survey of World Englishes, 74% of Americans surveyed do not have a specific name for this night. 19 East Michigan referred to it as Devil’s Night, parts of New Jersey and New York as Mischief Night, and Washington State as Devil’s Eye. A similar study conducted by Harvard University a decade ago revealed other names like Gate Night, which involved opening farmers’ gates to let livestock roam free.20 The term Cabbage Night, for instance, originates from an old Scottish tradition where young women would use cabbages in fortune- telling rituals on All Hallows’ Eve, leading to a tradition of throwing cabbages at neighbors’ homes. Despite the decline in the use of specific names, Mischief Night continues to be a part of local traditions.A.Yet, regional names do exist.B.They offered candy to children in costumes as an alternative.C.The origins of these names have long been a topic of discussion.D.They involved light - hearted tricks such as throwing eggs at houses.E.Children had great fun but parents were concerned about the serious destruction.F.The data suggest that the specific names for this night are gradually fading away. G.However, it is less common in the South, West, and French-speaking regions of Canada.二、完形填空My friend Julie and I had completed an incredibly complicated set of instructions which led us to our comfortable room in Tokyo.
