It does hurt. But I'm used to it, ” said Harriet Reid, area ranger at the National Trust.This year, Reid is leading a particularly important puffin count on the Farne Islands. The pandemic meant full yearly surveys were impossible in 2020 and 2021. The rangers have an idea of how healthy the puffin population is but really need comprehensive data.In the UK, the puffin is a red-listed bird, meaning it is of the highest conservation concern. In 2018, 42, 474 breeding pairs of Atlantic puffins were counted on the Farne Islands. In 2019 it was 42, 378. Last year it was 36, 211—but that was in a reduced survey area.The biggest threat to puffin populations around the world is the climate crisis.Experts say they are struggling because of more frequent winter storms and greater stresses on food chains. The pandemic has also meant no rangers living on the islands and fewer visitors, which has meant gulls, one of the puffin's main predators(捕食者), have not been controlled as they usually would, worsening the situation than usual.Visitors come to the Farne Islands in their thousands each year to see the abundance of bird life. The stars are surely the puffins. “They are always quarreling. Two will start having a quarrel and all the other ones come along to have a look”, said Dr. Richard Bevan, a zoologist at Newcastle University who helps to confirm the count. “Even as a scientist you do go:‘Ahh, they are so lovely.’”24. Why are Reid and his team doing the count?A. The pandemic struck the puffins heavily.B. They want to know whether the puffins are fit.C. A thorough statistic is necessary to support their idea.D. The data will be used to determine the gulls to be killed.25. What contributes to the puffin population decline during the pandemic?A. No rangers care for birds.B. More conflicts between birds.C. The extreme climate on the island.D. The increase of its natural enemies.26. How does Dr. Richard Bevan find the puffins?A. Brave.B. Cruel.C. Adorable.D. Demanding.27. Which can serve as the best title of the text?A. Puffin population count starts againB. Healthy food chains get out-of-orderC. Climate change endangers the puffinsD. Courageous rangers explore the islandCFor many of us, online shopping has made the process of purchasing goods a far simpler and more convenient process. No longer do we have to head to the shops to go through various objects. These days, we find the item we want or need online, click on it, and check out its description and user reviews. If it fits the bill, we send it to our basket and pay. There seems to be a wealth of options at our fingertips. But how do we know the options that pop up in front of us really are the best deals, and how might algorithms(算法)help or hold us back?Algorithms, simply put, are mathematical instructions which tell a computer how to solve problems. When shopping is involved, what is the problem they solve? Well, they instruct a computer which advertisements to show and which products a user is most likely to buy. By analyzing the things we bought or looked at previously, algorithms can conjecture what goods we’re most likely to be attracted by.For some people, the idea of something like guessing your preferences could sound a bit worrying. But first, let's look at the positives. By telling a computer to show us what we are interested in, it can not only save us a lot of time but also help us find the best deals. However, there are some people who have concerns about the impact of algorithms on our shopping experience. It is possible that algorithms may only select options from a limited number of brands, or may favor products from certain companies. There are also concerns that we aren't always shown the cheapest or best deal, even though that's what we're searching for.So, the takeaway from this is that algorithms are here to stay, and it's wise to know they exist. Whenever you're shopping, be it online or off, make sure you shop around for the best items. The first thing you see might not always be the best for you.28. What is the function of paragraph 1?A. To show various shopping choices.B. To introduce the concerning topic.C. To teach people how to shop online.D. To attract readers to online shopping.29. What does the underlined word “conjecture” mean in paragraph 2?A. Forgive.B. Admit.C. Predict.D. Ignore.30. Why are people worried about the impact of algorithms?A. It may narrow their shopping choices.B. It could involve them in plenty of research.C. It could waste their time making decisions.D. It may never recommend items to their taste.31. What does the author think critical when purchasing?A. Convenience.B. Preference.C. Price.D. Quality.DSome students from Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands have completed a 1, 800-mile road trip in a van(客货车)powered only by the sun, saying their van Stella Vita is the world's first solar-powered mobile home.With its solar panel roof, and wings that fold out with additional panels when parked, Stella Vita can travel up to 730 km within 24 hours and reach a speed of 75miles per hour on a sunny day. The students have doubled the solar surface to 17.5square meters, which generates enough energy to live and drive on.With a roof that pops up when the van is not moving, you can do more things. There is a kitchen with a fridge, an eating area, a bed, a shower and a toilet. Stella Vita is actually a self-sustaining house on wheels. Through solar panels on the roof, it is independent of charging stations. But it does have an electric power charger in case of emergency.In one year, the students succeeded in designing and building the mobile home and last month completed their demonstration road trip from Eindhoven to the southern tip of Spain. The driver and passengers can also track the amount of the energy used, and how much is remaining. “On a cloudy day, the vehicle can still produce 60-70%of the energy, ” said the team coordinator Dr. Carlo van de Weijer .“And even if there is no sun at all, you still have an efficient, normal electric car that you can charge from a charging port.”This isn't the first solar vehicle made by the students. In their first year, they built a solar-powered family car called Stella. Since then there have been 3 more vehicles before this pop-up van. Stella and its successors Stella Lux, Stella Vie and the 5-seater Stella Era all raced in the World Solar Challenge in Australia and won in its Cruiser Class all four times when it was held in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019.32. What can we know about the students' van trip?A. It was environment-friendly.B. It covered as long as 1, 800 km.C. It promoted mobile home travel.D. It started from the southern tip of Spain.33. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The drivers’ desire for the van.B. The weather demand of the van.C. The heat preservation in the van.D. The power guarantee of the van.34. Why is the van equipped with a charger?A. To make use of charging ports on the way.B. To save the solar energy in the van.C. In case of a no-sun situation.D. In case of mountainous road.35. When might the 5-seater Stella Era win in its Cruiser Class?A. In 2013.B. In 2015.C. In 2017.D. In 2019.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
