(2024·遼寧·一模)“Few articles change wners mre frequently than clthes. They travel dwnwards frm grade t grade in the scial scale with remarkable regularity,” wrte the jurnalist Adlphe Smith in 1877 as he traced a cat’s jurney in the last century: cleaned, repaired and resld repeatedly; cut dwn int a smaller item; eventually recycled int new fabric. But with the imprvement in peple’s living standards, that mdel is mind-bggling in the era f fast fashin. The average British custmer buys fur items a mnth. And it is reprted that 350,000 tnnes f used but still wearable clthes g t landfills in the UK each year.
Yet the gradual revival f the secnd-hand trade has gathered pace in the past few years. At fashin website Ass, sales f vintage clthes (古董衫) have risen by 92%. Clthing was nce wrn ut f necessity, and nw it is simply a way f life. Busy families sell used items n eBay, teenagers trade n Depp and sme fashin peple ffer designer labels n Vestiaire Cllective. Strikingly, it has becme big enugh business that mainstream retailers (零售商) want a slice f the actin.
Fr sme buyers and sellers, the switch t the secnd-hand is brn f financial difficulties. Only a few have becme wrried abut the impact f their shpping habit n the planet. But the shift is nly a partial slutin. Sme peple wrry that sme mainstream brands may “greenwash” — using secnd-hand gds t imprve their image, rather than engaging mre seriusly with sustainability.
Hwever, the biggest cncern may be that peple keep buying because they knw they can resell gds, still chasing the pleasure f the next purchase but with an eased cnscience (愧疚). Bh, a pwerful fast fashin cmpany, has seen sales and prfits rise, despite cncerns abut envirnmental prblems in its supply chain that led t an investigatin last year.
A new Netflix series, Wrn Stries, dcuments the emtinal meanings that clthes can have: Each ld item is full f memries. Actually, a handbag frm a grandmther and a scarf passed n by a father are bth valuable fr us. A lve f style is nt a bad r an unimprtant thing. But a cmmitted relatinship is better than a quick flash. Can we learn t appreciate ur wn ld clthes as well as thers’?

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了與從前反復(fù)使用衣服的模式不同,現(xiàn)在大家往往追逐快時尚,造成了很大浪費(fèi),不過網(wǎng)上二手市場正在蓬勃發(fā)展,但只有少部分人是真的認(rèn)識到了自己的購物習(xí)慣對地球的影響,而且一些主流品牌有可能會借此機(jī)會來“洗綠”,很多人有可能會繼續(xù)購買。文章指出,雖然追求風(fēng)格無可厚非,但是學(xué)會欣賞舊衣服實際上是很有意義的。
1.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞的上文“as he traced a cat’s jurney in the last century: cleaned, repaired and resld repeatedly; cut dwn int a smaller item; eventually recycled int new fabric (他追溯了一件大衣在上個世紀(jì)的歷程:反復(fù)清洗、修理和轉(zhuǎn)售;縮為成更小件的;最終被回收制成新的織物)”可知,以前的衣服會被反復(fù)多次使用,再結(jié)合表示轉(zhuǎn)折意義的“But”和劃線詞的下文“The average British custmer buys fur items a mnth. And it is reprted that 350,000 tnnes f used but still wearable clthes g t landfills in the UK each year. (英國消費(fèi)者平均每月購買四件商品。據(jù)報道,英國每年有35萬噸用過但還能穿的衣服被送往垃圾填埋場)”可知,現(xiàn)在情況和以前不同,衣服更迭速度很快,很多衣服被浪費(fèi)了。由此可知,以前衣服循環(huán)使用的模式在現(xiàn)在快時尚的時代是令人難以置信的,劃線詞意思應(yīng)該與unbelievable“令人難以置信的”一致。故選A項。
2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“At fashin website Ass, sales f vintage clthes (古董衫) have risen by 92%. Clthing was nce wrn ut f necessity, and nw it is simply a way f life. Busy families sell used items n eBay, teenagers trade n Depp and sme fashin peple ffer designer labels n Vestiaire Cllective. Strikingly, it has becme big enugh business that mainstream retailers (零售商) want a slice f the actin. (在時尚網(wǎng)站Ass,古著的銷量增長了92%。衣服曾經(jīng)是出于需要而穿,現(xiàn)在它只是一種生活方式。忙碌的家庭在eBay上出售二手物品,青少年在Depp上交易,一些時尚人士在Vestiaire Cllective上出售設(shè)計師品牌。引人注目的是,它已經(jīng)成為一個足夠大的業(yè)務(wù),主流零售商也想分一杯羹)”可知,網(wǎng)絡(luò)二手交易銷量增長,不同的人群在不同的平臺交易二手衣服,主流零售商甚至也想?yún)⑴c其中。由此推知,作者是想說明網(wǎng)上二手市場正在蓬勃發(fā)展。故選B項。
3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中“Hwever, the biggest cncern may be that peple keep buying because they knw they can resell gds, still chasing the pleasure f the next purchase but with an eased cnscience (愧疚). (然而,最大的擔(dān)憂可能是,人們繼續(xù)購買,因為他們知道他們可以轉(zhuǎn)售商品,仍然在追求下一次購買的樂趣,但良心上有所放松)”可知,二手交易業(yè)務(wù)讓人們有了處理已購商品的方法,解除了購買不必要衣服的愧疚感,可以繼續(xù)購買衣服,即讓人們可以自由地追求快時尚。故選A項。
4.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“A new Netflix series, Wrn Stries, dcuments the emtinal meanings that clthes can have: Each ld item is full f memries. Actually, a handbag frm a grandmther and a scarf passed n by a father are bth valuable fr us. (Netflix的一部新劇《舊衣往事》記錄了衣服的情感含義:每一件舊衣服都充滿了回憶。其實,祖母送的手提包和父親送的圍巾對我們來說都很有價值)”可知,這部劇表明舊衣服具有情感含義,充滿回憶,富有價值。由此推知,它主張的是“舊東西值得長期珍藏”。故選B項。
(2024·廣東汕頭·一模)The integratin f artificial intelligence (AI) in educatinal technlgy has brught cnvenience and efficiency t classrms wrldwide. Hwever, despite these advancements, it is crucial t recgnize the significant challenges it pses t the autnmy and prfessinal judgment f instructrs. One f the primary cncerns assciated with AI-driven tls in educatin is the depersnalizatin f instructin. These tls ften rely n pre-packaged digital cntent and standardized slutins, leaving little rm fr instructrs t tailr their teaching methds.
Each student pssesses unique characteristics, including distinct learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses. Instructrs, armed with their wealth f experience and expertise, are best psitined t custmize their appraches t meet these individual needs. They knw hw t adapt t their students’ varying learning styles. Hwever, AI-driven platfrms restrict their ability t d s effectively, resulting in a ne-size-fits-all apprach that fails t engage and inspire students t reach their maximum ptential.
The implicatins f this depersnalizatin are far-reaching. By diminishing(降低) the rle f instructrs as facilitatrs f meaningful educatinal interactins, we run the risk f preventing the grwth f critical thinking and prblem-slving skills amng students.
Educatin shuld nt merely fcus n knwledge acquisitin (習(xí)得), but shuld als develp the ability t analyze, evaluate, and apply that knwledge in real-wrld cntexts. It shuld help ne’s mind grw, nt simply pssess infrmatin. Thrugh dynamic classrm discussins, cperative prjects, and hands-n activities, instructrs play a vital rle in cultivating these essential skills. AI-driven platfrms, with their standardized slutins and autmated features, are ill-equipped t prvide the same level f engagement and intellectual stimulatin as human instructrs. While AI-driven platfrms undeniably have their advantages, we must nt lse sight f the imprtance f preserving instructrs’ autnmy and the educatinal experience they prvide.
5.Why d AI-driven tls fail t help instructrs adjust their teaching methds?
A.Their slutins will be challenged.B.They dn’t have prfessinal judgement.
C.Their digital cntent is set previusly.D.They think little f the students’ autnmy.

【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了人工智能(AI)與教育技術(shù)的融合為世界各地的課堂帶來了便利和效率。然而,盡管取得了這些進(jìn)步,但認(rèn)識到這對教師的自主性和專業(yè)判斷構(gòu)成的重大挑戰(zhàn)是至關(guān)重要的。
5.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“These tls ften rely n pre-packaged digital cntent and standardized slutins, leaving little rm fr instructrs t tailr their teaching methds.(這些工具通常依賴于預(yù)先打包的數(shù)字內(nèi)容和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化解決方案,教師幾乎沒有空間來定制他們的教學(xué)方法。)”可知,人工智能驅(qū)動的工具無法幫助教師調(diào)整教學(xué)方法,因為其數(shù)字內(nèi)容是之前設(shè)置的。故選C。
6.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段“Each student pssesses unique characteristics, including distinct learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses. Instructrs, armed with their wealth f experience and expertise, are best psitined t custmize their appraches t meet these individual needs. They knw hw t adapt t their students’ varying learning styles.(每個學(xué)生都有獨(dú)特的特點(diǎn),包括不同的學(xué)習(xí)方式、優(yōu)點(diǎn)和缺點(diǎn)。教師擁有豐富的經(jīng)驗和專業(yè)知識,最適合定制他們的方法來滿足這些個人需求。他們知道如何適應(yīng)學(xué)生不同的學(xué)習(xí)方式。)”可知,與人工智能驅(qū)動的工具相比,教師的優(yōu)勢在于他們可以滿足個人需求。故選B。
7.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段“By diminishing(降低) the rle f instructrs as facilitatrs f meaningful educatinal interactins, we run the risk f preventing the grwth f critical thinking and prblem-slving skills amng students.(通過削弱教師作為有意義的教育互動促進(jìn)者的作用,我們冒著阻礙學(xué)生批判性思維和解決問題能力發(fā)展的風(fēng)險。)”可知,教育中去人格化對學(xué)生的影響主要表現(xiàn)在學(xué)生解決現(xiàn)實生活問題的能力上。故選B。
8.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“Educatin shuld nt merely fcus n knwledge acquisitin (習(xí)得), but shuld als develp the ability t analyze, evaluate, and apply that knwledge in real-wrld cntexts.(教育不應(yīng)該僅僅關(guān)注知識的獲取,還應(yīng)該培養(yǎng)分析、評價和在現(xiàn)實環(huán)境中應(yīng)用這些知識的能力。)”可知,教育除了注重知識的獲取外,還應(yīng)注重思維能力的培養(yǎng)。故選C。
(2024·山東濰坊·一模)Hiring prcesses can be thught f as a battle between integrity and dishnesty. Yu might imagine this is a simple fight between truth-seeking firms and self-prmting candidates, and t a certain extent it is. But cmpanies themselves are prne (有傾向的) t bend reality ut f shape in ways that are self-defeating.
Start with the bvius wrngders: jb applicants. When it cmes t writing the resume (簡歷), they tend t massage (美化) reality int the mst appealing shape pssible. Everyne beynd a certain level f experience is a transfrmatinal leader persnally respnsible fr generating millins incme; the wrld ecnmy wuld be abut 15 times bigger than it actually is if all such claims were true. The average British spends fur and a half hurs a day watching TV and nline vides. But each average jb candidate is an enthusiast fr public welfare, using their spare time nly fr wrthy purpses, like vlunteering in sup kitchens.
But the tendency t stretch the truth infects cmpanies as well as applicants. The typical firm will write a jb descriptin that invariably describes the wrk envirnment as fast-paced and innvative, and then lays ut a set f imprbable requirements fr the “ideal candidate”, smene wh almst by definitin des nt exist. Smetimes, the requirements include an ability t g back and change the curse f histry.
T few firms ffer an accurate accunt f what a psitin actually invlves in their jb previews, which are suppsed t give prspective emplyees a genuine sense f the negatives and psitives f the jb, as well as a clear idea f the cmpany’s crprate culture. One effective strategy is t lay ut in text r vide, what a typical day in the rle wuld lk like.
Such hnesty can be its wn reward. Research has lng suggested that realistic jb previews lead t lwer turnver and higher emplyee satisfactin. A paper in 2011 by David Eamest f Twsn University and his c-authrs cncluded that favurable perceptins f the rganisatin’s hnesty are the best explanatin fr why.

9.推理判斷題。第二段中“When it cmes t writing the resume (簡歷), they tend t massage (美化) reality int the mst appealing shape pssible.(在寫簡歷的時候,他們傾向于把現(xiàn)實情況美化成最吸引人的樣子)”提到求職者寫簡歷時會美化現(xiàn)實,下文“Everyne beynd a certain level f experience is a transfrmatinal leader persnally respnsible fr generating millins incme(每個經(jīng)驗稍長的人都是變革型領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者,個人負(fù)責(zé)創(chuàng)造數(shù)百萬的收入)”和“But each average jb candidate is an enthusiast fr public welfare, using their spare time nly fr wrthy purpses, like vlunteering in sup kitchens.(但平均每位求職者都熱衷于公益事業(yè),他們只把業(yè)余時間用于有價值的目的,比如在施粥處做志愿)”都是舉例具體說明上述現(xiàn)象,故選D。
10.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞下文“as well as applicants(和申請者一樣)”以及“The typical firm will write a jb descriptin that invariably describes the wrk envirnment as fast-paced and innvative, and then lays ut a set f imprbable requirements fr the ‘ideal candidate’, smene wh almst by definitin des nt exist.(典型的公司會撰寫一份工作描述,總是將工作環(huán)境描述為快節(jié)奏和創(chuàng)新的,并提出一套對‘理想候選人’的不太可能的要求,幾乎按定義來說,這樣的人并不存在)”可知,公司和申請者一樣,也有夸大事實的傾向,stretch意為“夸大”,故選A。
11.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“T few firms ffer an accurate accunt f what a psitin actually invlves in their jb previews, which are suppsed t give prspective emplyees a genuine sense f the negatives and psitives f the jb, as well as a clear idea f the cmpany’s crprate culture.

12.主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容,結(jié)合最后一段中“Such hnesty can be its wn reward.(這種誠實本身就是一種回報)”可知,文章介紹了招聘過程中求職者和公司都傾向于夸大事實,很少有公司提供真實的職位預(yù)覽,但研究表明誠實是一種回報,真實的職位預(yù)覽會降低離職率,提高員工滿意度,B項“如何消除招聘中的謊言”能夠總結(jié)文章大意,故選B。

(2024·江蘇泰州·一模)A satellite is an bject in space that rbits arund anther. It has tw kinds — natural satellites and artificial satellites. The mn is a natural satellite that mves arund the earth while artificial satellites are thse made by man.
Despite their widespread impact n daily life, artificial satellites mainly depend n different cmplicated makeups. On the utside, they may lk like a wheel, equipped with slar panels r sails. Inside, the satellites cntain missin-specific scientific instruments, which include whatever tls the satellites need t perfrm their wrk. Amng them, high-reslutin cameras and cmmunicatin electrnics are typical nes. Besides, the part that carries the lad and hlds all the parts tgether is called the bus.
Artificial satellites perate in a systematic way just like humans. Cmputers functin as the satellite’s brain, which receive infrmatin, interpret it, and send messages back t the earth. Advanced digital cameras serve as the satellite’s eyes. Sensrs are ther imprtant parts that nt nly recgnize light, heat, and gases, but als recrd changes in what is being bserved. Radis n the satellite send infrmatin back t the earth. Slar panels prvide electrical pwer fr the cmputers and ther equipment, as well as the pwer t mve the satellite frward.
Artificial satellites use gravity t stay in their rbits. Earth’s gravity pulls everything tward the center f the planet. T stay in the earth’s rbit, the speed f a satellite must adjust t the tiniest changes in the pull f gravity. The satellite’s speed wrks against earth’s gravity just enugh s that it desn’t g speeding int space r falling back t the earth.
Rckets carry satellites t different types and heights f rbits, based n the tasks they need t perfrm. Satellites clser t the earth are in lw-earth rbit, which can be 200-500 miles high. The clser t the earth, the strnger the gravity is. Therefre, these satellites must travel at abut 17,000 miles per hur t keep frm falling back t the earth, while higher-rbiting satellites can travel mre slwly.
21.What is Paragraph 2 f the text mainly abut?
A.The appearance f artificial satellites.B.The cmpnents f artificial satellites.
C.The basic functin f artificial satellites.D.The specific missin f artificial satellites.
22.What is the rle f cmputers in artificial satellites?
A.Prviding electrical pwer.B.Recrding changes bserved.
C.Mnitring space envirnment.D.Prcessing infrmatin received.
23.Hw d artificial satellites stay in their rbits?
A.By relying n pwerful rckets t get ut f gravity.
B.By rbiting at a fixed speed regardless f gravity’s pull.
C.By changing speed cnstantly based n the pull f gravity.
D.By resisting the pull f gravity with advanced technlgies.
24.Why d satellites in higher-earth rbit travel mre slwly?
A.They are mre affected by earth’s gravity.
B.They take advantage f rckets mre effectively.
C.They have weaker pull f gravity in higher rbits.

At that rate, sme scientists predict the wrld’s frests culd disappear in 100 t 200 years. T handle it, nw researchers at Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy (MIT) have pineered a technique t generate wd-like plant materials in a lab. This makes it pssible t “grw” a wden prduct withut cutting dwn trees.
In the lab, the researchers first take cells frm the leaves f a yung plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium fr tw days, then mved t anther medium which cntains nutrients and tw different hrmnes. By adjusting the hrmne levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities f the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer t shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grw in the dark fr three mnths. Finally, the researchers dehydrate the material, and then evaluate its qualities.
They fund that lwer hrmne levels lead t plant materials with mre runded, pen cells f lwer density, while higher hrmne levels cntribute t the grwth f plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lwer r higher density f cell structures makes the plant materials sfter r mre rigid, helping the materials grw with different wd-like characteristics. What’s mre, it’s t be nted that the research prcess is abut 100 times faster than the time it takes fr a tree t grw t maturity!
Research f this kind is grund-breaking. “This wrk demnstrates the great pwer f a technlgy,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. “The real pprtunity here is t be at its best with what yu use and hw yu use it.

When King taught his class nce a week, he fund that the students returned fr the next class having lst mst f the infrmatin they had learned the prir week. King discvered the “better practice” was t schedule the same cntent n three separate ccasins, such as Mnday, Wednesday, and Friday. King said that despite bjectins, when he taught the class n three ccasins his students scred better and exhibited a better memry f the cmplex material.

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要訪談了德克薩斯基督教大學(xué)的保羅·金教授,討論了他的研究“聽力表現(xiàn)中的狀態(tài)焦慮”。文章揭示了聽眾在聽力過程中也會感受到焦慮,這種焦慮隨著演講時間的增長和信息量的增加而增加。文章還提到,金教授將這一研究結(jié)果應(yīng)用于自己的研究生課程,通過將課程內(nèi)容分三次授課,而不是一次三小時的集中授課,發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)效果更好。
37.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Put simply, the lnger the task r the mre infrmatin that is delivered, the greater the cgnitive lad.(簡單來說,任務(wù)越長或者傳遞的信息越多,認(rèn)知負(fù)荷就越大)”可知,認(rèn)知負(fù)荷隨著任務(wù)的長度發(fā)生變化,故選C項。
38.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Accrding t King, listening t a five-minute presentatin prduces a relatively small amunt f cgnitive backlg; an 18-minute presentatin prduces a little mre, while a 60-minute presentatin prduces s much backlg that yu risk seriusly upsetting yur audience unless yu create a very engaging presentatin with “sft breaks”— stries, vides, demnstratins, r ther speakers.( 根據(jù)金博士的說法,聽一個五分鐘的演講會產(chǎn)生相對較少的認(rèn)知積壓;18分鐘的演講會產(chǎn)生更多一些,而60分鐘的演講會產(chǎn)生如此多的認(rèn)知積壓,除非你制作了一個非常吸引人的演講,并有“輕松休息”——故事、視頻、演示或其他演講者,否則你冒著嚴(yán)重激怒你的聽眾的風(fēng)險)”可知,“輕松休息”的功能是減輕聽眾的焦慮情緒,故選A項。
39.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“King applies the results t his graduate class n research methds.(金博士將結(jié)果應(yīng)用到他的研究生課程研究方法上)”以及“King discvered the “better practice” was t schedule the same cntent n three separate ccasins, such as Mnday, Wednesday, and Friday. (金博士發(fā)現(xiàn),更好的做法是將相同的內(nèi)容安排在三個不同的時間,例如周一、周三和周五)”可知,金博士的新做法是將整個任務(wù)分解為幾個部分,故選C項。
40.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“King said that despite bjectins, when he taught the class n three ccasins his students scred better and exhibited a better memry f the cmplex material(金博士說,盡管有反對意見,當(dāng)他在三個不同時間教授課程時,他的學(xué)生得分更好,并且對復(fù)雜材料的記憶力更好)”可知,保羅·金博士的新課程安排,結(jié)果證明是成功的,故選B項。
(2024·湖南長沙·一模)Crws (烏鴉) are undeniably intelligent. Frm making tls t hlding hatred, crws have been surprising the scientific cmmunity with their skillset. In fact, a study nce published in the jurnal Current Bilgy fund “the crw brain is the same relative size as the chimpanzee (大猩猩) brain”.
Nw, a study published in Science Advances finds crws understand what is knwn as recursin (遞歸). Prir t this study, recursin was believed t be unique t humans.
“We were interested in the ability t represent recursive structures—defined here as having elements be put within ther similar elements,” Diana Lia said, wh is the study’s first authr. Lia says it was surprising t discver crws “were able t knw the underlying recursive structure f the rders” upn first expsure. This makes the birds similar t humans, wh are able t extract patterns with little experience. “Recursin is thught t be a key feature f human symblic systems such as language r mathematics—and since these are thught t be unique t humans—there’s been interest in whether nn-human animals can grasp and generate recursive structures,” says Lia.
What exactly is recursin? Lia explains: “A classic example sentence is ‘the muse the cat caught ran’ where the clause the cat caught’ is within the clause’ the muse wh ran’. These cmplex structures are fund in human languages but nt in animal cmmunicatin systems which suggest that recursin might be what separates them.”
The findings f this study are significant since they shw recursive ability in animals that are nt clsely related t chimpanzees. “This suggests that this ability is either very evlutinarily (進(jìn)化) ancient r that is a prduct f cnvergent evlutin,” says Lia. “Als, it wuld prpse that certain brain structures are nt necessary t supprt this ability since birds have a dramatically different neural architecture.”
Lia says scientists knw crws are smart but the extent f their intelligence is really unexpected. “Everyne has the impressin that crws are super smart but I simply didn’t knw just hw intelligent they are.”
41.What is the finding f the new study?
A.Crws can make tls.
B.Crws understand recursin.
C.Crws can create special patterns.
D.Crws and chimpanzees are f a brain size.
42.Which structure can shw Crws’ special ability?
A.I bught a bkB.My bk was missing.
C.The bk I bught was missing.D.My bk was missing and I bught ne.
43.What impressed Diana Lia?
A.Crws’ intelligence level.B.Crws’ bdy structure.
C.The reasn fr Crws’s martness.D.peple’s impressin f crws.
44.What can be the best title fr the text?
A.Crws Are Humans’ clse Relatives
B.Crws Are Fund the cleverest Bird
C.Crws Have the Ability t Learn t speak
D.Crws Have a Human-like Grammar skill

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一項科學(xué)研究,研究表明烏鴉能夠理解一種被稱之為遞歸的認(rèn)知原理,而遞歸被認(rèn)為是人類語言或數(shù)學(xué)符號系統(tǒng)的關(guān)鍵特征。
41.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Nw, a study published in Science Advances finds crws understand what is knwn as recursin (遞歸). Prir t this study, recursin was believed t be unique t humans.(現(xiàn)在,一項發(fā)表在《科學(xué)進(jìn)展》上的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),烏鴉理解一種被稱為遞歸的概念。在這項研究之前,人們認(rèn)為遞歸是人類獨(dú)有的)”可知,烏鴉被發(fā)現(xiàn)能夠理解遞歸結(jié)構(gòu)。故選B。
42.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Nw, a study published in Science Advances finds crws understand what is knwn as recursin (遞歸). Prir t this study, recursin was believed t be unique t humans.(現(xiàn)在,一項發(fā)表在《科學(xué)進(jìn)展》上的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),烏鴉理解一種被稱為遞歸的概念。在這項研究之前,人們認(rèn)為遞歸是人類獨(dú)有的)以及第四段“A classic example sentence is ‘the muse the cat caught ran’ where the clause the cat caught’ is within the clause’ the muse wh ran’. These cmplex structures are fund in human languages but nt in animal cmmunicatin systems which suggest that recursin might be what separates them.(一個經(jīng)典的例句是‘貓抓的老鼠跑了’,其中‘貓抓的’是‘老鼠跑了’這個從句中的一部分。這些復(fù)雜的結(jié)構(gòu)在人類語言中發(fā)現(xiàn),但在動物交流系統(tǒng)中卻沒有,這表明遞歸可能是將它們區(qū)分開來的關(guān)鍵)”可推知,烏鴉可以分析出句子中的從句結(jié)構(gòu)。故選C。
43.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“Lia says scientists knw crws are smart but the extent f their intelligence is really unexpected.(廖說,科學(xué)家們知道烏鴉很聰明,但他們的聰明程度真的出乎意料)”可知,Lia雖然知道烏鴉很聰明,但是對烏鴉的聰明程度感到驚訝。故選A。
44.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“Crws (烏鴉) are undeniably intelligent. Frm making tls t hlding hatred, crws have been surprising the scientific cmmunity with their skillset. In fact, a study nce published in the jurnal Current Bilgy fund “the crw brain is the same relative size as the chimpanzee (大猩猩) brain”.(烏鴉無疑是非常聰明的。從制作工具到保持仇恨,烏鴉的技能讓科學(xué)界感到驚訝。事實上,一項曾發(fā)表在《當(dāng)代生物學(xué)》雜志上的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),“烏鴉的大腦與大猩猩的大腦在相對大小上是相同的”)”以及縱觀全文可知,本文介紹了烏鴉大腦中存在特殊結(jié)構(gòu),這種復(fù)雜的結(jié)構(gòu)被認(rèn)為是人類語言或數(shù)學(xué)符號系統(tǒng)的關(guān)鍵特征,D項“Crws Have a Human-like Grammar skill(烏鴉有類似人類的語法技能)”最適合作為文章標(biāo)題。故選D。
(2024·廣東湛江·一模)Fr the histry f life n Earth, rganisms have relied n the light f the sun, mn, and stars t find their way and schedule their lives. While the beginning f electric lighting in the late 19th century may have benefited humans, it has caused prblems in the natural wrld. Amng the impacts f artificial light at night(ALAN), light pllutin lures migrating birds t cities with shcking cnsequences, cntributes t the alarming decline in insect ppulatins, and cnvinces sea turtle babies t amble(緩行)away frm the water instead f twards it.
Nw, a new study frm the University f Plymuth adds anther disappinting finding abut hw ALAN is affecting the creatures with whm we share the planet: Light pllutin frm castal cities can trick crals(珊瑚)int reprducing utside f the ptimum times when they wuld nrmally reprduce.
Using a cmbinatin f light pllutin data and spawning(產(chǎn)卵)bservatins, researchers were able t shw fr the first time that crals expsed t ALAN are spawning ne t three days earlier and clser t the full mn cmpared t thse n unlit crals. “That shift may reduce the survival and fertilizatin success f gametes(配子)and genetic cnnectivity between nearby lit and unlit cral systems,” they explain.
“Crals are amng the mst bidiverse, ecnmically imprtant, and threatened ecsystems n the planet,” write the authrs f the study.
“Climate change has led t mass bleaching(褪色)events. Habitat destructin, fisheries, and pllutin have reduced crals substantially since the 1950s,” they write, adding, “The cmplete lss f crals is anticipated ver the next 100 years.”
If we want t reduce the harm ALAN is causing, we culd perhaps lk t delay the switching-n f night-time lighting in castal regins t ensure the natural dark perid between sunset and mnrise when cral reprductin remains undisturbed.
45.Why is the first paragraph written?
A.T present the tpic f the text.B.T advcate energy cnservatin.

【導(dǎo)語】本文是說明文。文章主要介紹了海濱城市的照明對珊瑚的影響。這些照明產(chǎn)生的光會使珊瑚比不受光污染的珊瑚產(chǎn)卵早,從而對其產(chǎn)生不利影響。
45.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容“Fr the histry f life n Earth, rganisms have relied n the light f the sun, mn, and stars t find their way and schedule their lives. While the beginning f electric lighting in the late 19th century may have benefited humans, it has caused prblems in the natural wrld. Amng the impacts f artificial light at night(ALAN), light pllutin lures migrating birds t cities with shcking cnsequences, cntributes t the alarming decline in insect ppulatins, and cnvinces sea turtle babies t amble(緩行)away frm the water instead f twards it.(在地球上生命的歷史中,生物一直依靠太陽、月亮和星星的光來找到自己的路,安排自己的生活。雖然19世紀(jì)末開始的電燈可能給人類帶來了好處,但它也給自然界帶來了問題。在夜間人造光(ALAN)的影響中,光污染將候鳥吸引到城市,帶來令人震驚的后果,導(dǎo)致昆蟲數(shù)量驚人的下降,并使海龜寶寶遠(yuǎn)離水而不是靠近水。)”可知,文章第一段介紹了始于 19 世末的人造光源對自然產(chǎn)生的不好的影響,結(jié)合第二段“Nw, a new study frm the University f Plymuth adds anther disappinting finding abut hw ALAN is affecting the creatures with whm we share the planet: Light pllutin frm castal cities can trick crals(珊瑚)int reprducing utside f the ptimum times when they wuld nrmally reprduce.(現(xiàn)在,普利茅斯大學(xué)的一項新研究增加了另一個令人失望的發(fā)現(xiàn),即ALAN如何影響與我們共享地球的生物:沿海城市的光污染會誘使珊瑚在正常繁殖的最佳時間之外繁殖。)”講述文章主題是闡述人造光對于珊瑚的危害可推斷,第一段的目的是提出提供了背景信息。故選D。
46.詞句猜測題。分析句子可知,后面的定語從句“when they wuld nrmally reprduce(當(dāng)它們正常繁殖的時候)”修飾the ptimum time可知“the ptimum times”指的是“珊瑚正常的繁殖時間”,所以畫線詞與apprpriate“合適的,恰當(dāng)?shù)摹?。故選B。
47.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段中“The cmplete lss f crals is anticipated ver the next 100 years.( 預(yù)計珊瑚將在未來100年內(nèi)完全消失。)”可知,研究人員最大的擔(dān)心是珊瑚的滅絕。故選A。
48.主旨大意題。通讀全文特別是第二段“Nw, a new study frm the University f Plymuth adds anther disappinting finding abut hw ALAN is affecting the creatures with whm we share the planet: Light pllutin frm castal cities can trick crals(珊瑚)int reprducing utside f the ptimum times when they wuld nrmally reprduce.(現(xiàn)在,普利茅斯大學(xué)的一項新研究增加了另一個令人失望的發(fā)現(xiàn),即ALAN如何影響與我們共享地球的生物:沿海城市的光污染會誘使珊瑚在正常繁殖的最佳時間之外繁殖。)”可知,本文主要介紹了海濱城市的照明對珊瑚的影響。這些照明產(chǎn)生的光會使珊瑚比不受光污染的珊瑚產(chǎn)卵早,從而對其產(chǎn)生不利影響,因此 C 項“海岸燈光誘使珊瑚提早產(chǎn)卵”為合適的標(biāo)題。故選C。
