The Davy Notebooks Project

Sir Humphry Davy (1778‑1829) was a British chemist and inventor. He is bestremembered for discovering several chemical elements and inventing the Davylamp, which greatly improved safety for coal miners. His personal notes,laboratory journals, and letters are invaluable for researchers studying thehistory of science.

We would be grateful to any volunteers who can help us transcribe (转录) Davy’s handwritten notes so that people around the world can continue tolearn from them.

How does the transcription process work?

This project focuses on a selection of materials spanning the early 1800s.In total, approximately 1,500 pages are available for transcription.

To make the most of volunteers’ time, we first used HTRflow, an AI‑poweredhandwritten text recognition tool, to generate draft transcriptions of thehandwritten materials. Afterwards, we ask you to review and correct themachine‑generated output. This approach focuses your efforts where humanjudgement matters most.

Who was Davy corresponding with?

We have identified several famous individuals that he wrote to regularly:

— Michael Faraday: A scientist who began as Davy’s laboratory assistant.Their letters mainly discussed chemical experiments.

— Samuel Coleridge: A famous English poet. He and Davy were close friends,and their letters show a fascinating mix of science and literary beauty.

— Thomas Beddoes: A medical doctorwho worked with Davy in his early years, focusing on medical research.

Why do your contributions matter?

The transcriptions will make Davy’s collection searchable, allowing futureresearchers to search by keywords such as place names, people, and other topicsof interest. We are aiming to make these materials available through an onlinedigital exhibition for scholars, students, and curious people from around theworld.

21.What are volunteers mainly expected to do inthis project?

A. Revise the mistakes made by an AI tool.B.Select the raw materials for transcription.

C. Generate draft transcriptions of the notes.D. Write a biography for Sir Humphry Davy.

22.Which field did Davy’s letters to MichaelFaraday mainly focus on?

A. Chemistry.B.Medicine.C. Literature.D. Economy.

23.What is the significance of voluntary work?

A. Satisfying the curiosity of historians.B.Offering resources for future studies.

C. Listing keywords for curious people.D.Gathering materials for an exhibition.

About 10 years ago, I invited my dad to stay at my fancy flat. I proudlyshowed him the advanced audio system, the multi‑level lighting, and thetelevision operated by a single touchscreen remote. Having encouraged him torelax, I headed to work. Returning that night, however, I found the place indarkness. Switching on the light, I saw him sitting alone, an error messageflashing across the TV screen. “I tried,” he said, looking frustrated, “but gotnowhere with anything, so I just gave up.”

At that time, I was somehow annoyed with him, but to be honest, 10 years onI am still struggling with the stupid lights, TV and sound system myself. Myparents’ difficulties are becoming my own, and I am angry at everyone involvedin the design of anything. In the interest of greater functionality, everythingis being overengineered to the point—for many people— of non‑functionality.

It’s not just house appliances. Smartphones made the screens highlytouch‑sensitive: a light press does one thing, a hard press another. For olderpeople, a hard stab often brings up unexpected menus, deepening theirdesperation. Does the “smart” in smartphone refer to the brilliance required ofits users? And symbols for words are a problem everywhere. To access a startmenu, you no longer click “Start”; you click on a symbol of a window. Toforward an email, you click on three vertical dots. Why?

Yes, we are always going to be somewhat confused by the world as old agecomes around. But these endless, daily tests and trials set by the march oftechnology are real breakers of spirit and hidden barriers shutting them out.The biggest tragedy is that technology could be more helpful for older peopleif only they were able to use it easily. Honestly, those who design this stuffare plainly doing so for people close in age to themselves. However, it mightbe well worth remembering that, one day, their time will come.

24.What made the father feel frustrated?

A. Watching terrible news on TV.B.Sitting alone at the fancy flat.

C. Failing to operate smart devices.D.Breaking the touchscreen remote.

25.Why does the author mention the examples inparagraph3?

A. To complain devices require extreme brilliance.

B. To explain symbols cause operational confusion.

C. To show touch‑sensitive screens spoil older users.

D. To prove over‑engineering weakens basic usability.

26.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Smart devices will be targeted at the elderly.

B. Future technologies will leave seniors behind.

C. Designers should consider the needs of seniors.

D. Youngsters should teach older users practical skills.

27.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Less Tests, Brighter FutureB.More Functions, Greater Ease

C. Older Users, Better DesignersD.Smarter Devices, Tougher Lives

C

An interesting cultural phenomenon occurs every summer when Europeans andAmericans visit each other’s continents. Europeans complain that shops andrestaurants in America are so coldly air‑conditioned as to require a jacket.Americans holidaying in Europe grow impatient on finding that Europeanold‑world buildings cause them to sweat.

The divide is rooted in both climate andculture. Long before American companies began using cooling chemicals forair‑conditioning, southern Europe was built to handle heat. In traditionalhouses, white paint and shaded courtyards keep things cool. Windows are thrownopen and rooms aired in the mornings. Shutters keep out the midday sun.Northern Europe, meanwhile, is mostly spared the problem by its cold weatherthanks to geographical advantages.

These days, as global warming is putting Europe to test, some Europeans whocelebrate green lifestyles still feel pangs of carbon guilt about equippingtheir houses with air‑conditioning. Actually, they needn’t. The rapid expansionof renewable energy in Europe means that lowering the temperature will not domuch to melt the glaciers. In Spain, solar capacity has grown nearly ten timesin the past decade, so it causes fewer carbon emissions to generate power.Portugal and France do just as well, thanks to dozens of nuclear reactors.

Apart from climate morality, many Europeans also worry about the costs, butthere is good news on that front as well. Their homes are smaller than Americanones, which helps them save two thirds as much electricity on average.Moreover, the solar energy boom means that power is not just greener butcheaper than before. And some governments even offer funding to make old housesenergy‑efficient.

As the world warms, Europe is heating up faster than any other region.Those who prefer to tough out the summer are free to do so. However, as Dr.Elena Rossi, a climate researcher, points out, “Cooling should no longer be aluxury but a basic necessity. Therefore, the ultimate goal should be to makecheap, clean air‑conditioning for everyone.”

28.How does the author introduce the topic?

A. By criticizing energy waste.B.By describing a tourist trend.

C. By presenting a cultural conflict.D.By analyzing different personalities.

29.What contributes to the cooling of houses inSouthern Europe?

A. Adjusted lighting system.B.Modern cooling technology.

C. Unique geographical advantages.D.Traditional architectural wisdom.

30.Which of the following is an example of “climatemorality”?

A. Using renewable energy to lower electricity bills.

B. Refusing air‑conditioning to cut carbon emissions.

C. Upgrading old houses to gain government funding.

D. Expanding power capacity to promote cozy lifestyles.

31.What does Dr. Elena Rossi’s words mean?

A. Traditional cooling methods are outdated.

B. Affordable air‑conditioning should be accessible.

C. The public should avoid using air‑conditioners.

D. People can choose to live with the summer heat.

D

When it comes to memorizing a list of words or concepts, writing notes hasbeen the go‑to method for a long time. However, recentpsychological studies have brought attention to the “drawing effect”—the ideathat sketching out information can significantly boost memory.

To test this, a research group from the Universityof Waterloo presented student participants with a list of simple, easily drawnwords, such as “apple”. The students were given 40 seconds to either draw theword, or write it out repeatedly. Following a short break, the researchers thenasked students to freely recall as many words as possible from the initial listin just 60 seconds. The results were striking: the drawn words wereconsistently and significantly better recalled than the written ones.

To explain why drawing works so well, Jeffrey Wammes, the study’s leadauthor, noted that it forces the brain to process information using differentsenses. First, learners must think deeply about a word’s meaning to decide howto draw it. Then, their hands make physical movements to sketch the lines.Finally, they observe the visual image they have just created. “By bringingtogether word meanings, physical actions, and visual images, drawing builds amuch stronger memory than simply writing,” Jeffrey explained.

However, the drawing effect might not be a one‑size‑fits‑all solution.Another recent study recruited 91 participants, who were randomly assigned toone of three strategies: drawing, paraphrasing, or writing the definitions.Interestingly, this study found, when they were dealing with difficult tasks,they showed no significant difference in memory performance across the threeconditions. Researchers also noted that memory process actually tends to becomplex, as it involves an interplay of many factors such as a participant’sworking memory, drawing abilities, and prior familiarity with the terms.

While drawing is undoubtedly a powerful tool for memorizing simpleconcepts, it is clearly not a magic pill for all learning situations. Ratherthan blindly adopting a single method, learners should adjust their studystrategies based on the complexity of the task and their personal strengths.

32.What does the underlined word “go‑to” inparagraph one mean?

A. Random.B. Standard.C. Temporary.D. Complicated.

33.According to Jeffrey, how does drawing enhancememory?

A. By increasing visual effect.B.By relieving mental pressure.

C. By encouraging deep thinking.D.By engaging multiple channels.

34.The study in paragraph 4 found that the drawingeffect declined if ______.

A. learners relied on working memoryB.participants wrote down definitions

C. individuals tackled challenging tasksD.students improved drawing abilities

35.What is the author’s attitude toward the drawingeffect?

A. Objective.B.Unclear.C. Dismissive.D. Approving.

Do you ever feel like you’re always busy, yet you aren’t sure that you areactually getting things done? Or have you reached full capacity, but still feellike you should be doing more? You could be stuck in a productivity trap.36 Here are three signs you’restuck in a productivity trap and how to address them.

— You’re switching between tasks.

Multitasking may feel productive, but it splits your attention and slowsyou down. 37  These are the tasks youwill commit to focusing on first. This small reset restores direction and keepsyou from jumping between tasks.

38 

When your days are filled with constant output, your brain doesn’t have thespace it needs to generate new ideas. Without time for inspiration, motivationand creativity can quickly dry up. So schedule intentional time for activitiesthat leave you feeling energised. This could mean reading, going for a walk, orspending time on hobbies you love.

—You never feel “done”

Your to‑do list feels like it’s growing faster than you can tick thingsoff.39  Over time, this“never‑finished” feeling risks leading you closer to burnout. Instead offocusing on what’s left to do, keep a “done” list to track your progress. Itcan give you something to look back on when you are feeling overloaded.

Real productivity isn’t a race to get more and more tasks done.40 When you manage tobreak free from the productivity trap and start working with your brain insteadof against it, you can create the space to achieve more of what truly matters.

A. You’d better schedule time to rest.

B. You’re lacking motivation or creativity.

C. The more I do, the longer my to‑do list grows.

D. It’s about balancing focus, energy, and intention.

E. Take a moment to set a simple three‑item priority list.

F. And even when you do get things done, it doesn’t feel like enough.

G. It is the feeling of being endlessly busy, while real priorities remainuntouched.

“For your final project, you must work in pairs to cultivate a plant andmake a presentation,” announced Mr. Davis, the biology teacher.

Nora and Mia, two close friends with a shared passion for nature, naturallyteamed up. Aiming for a good grade, they began co‑tending to a rare “MoonlightOrchid” in the school greenhouse. It was a delicate flower that required stricttemperature control and precise watering.

They shared the duties perfectly. Nora would prune(修剪) the plant with scissors and check the soil moisture (湿度), while Mia would spray water over its petals and ensure the heatermaintained a constant warmth.

On a freezing Saturday night, Mia was supposed to check the greenhouseheater. Unfortunately, Mia’s younger brother suddenly developed a dangerouslyhigh fever and struggled to breathe. Panicked and busy helping her mother, Miacompletely forgot about the greenhouse and failed to message Nora. When Noraarrived on Sunday morning, she was greeted by a tragic sight. The heater hadstopped working, and the sharp drop in temperature had left the orchid’s leavescurled and its stems drooping.

Minutes later, Mia rushed in, her eyes red from a sleepless night in thehospital. Before Mia could explain, Nora exploded, “How could you be soirresponsible? You ruined everything we’ve worked for!” Stung by Nora’s harshwords, Mia cried, “My brother was in the emergency room! Not everything isabout this plant, Nora!” Mia turned and ran out of the greenhouse.

For the next few days, a heavy atmosphere hung between them. They avoidedeach other in the hallways. Nora spent every day alone in the greenhouse,struggling to revive the orchid, but the recovery process was simply too muchfor one pair of hands. The presentation was only a week away, and the weight ofthe work, coupled with the guilt of her outburst, made Nora feel entirelyoverwhelmed.

Possible version:

Many teenagers pay little attention to current affairs. Some may find themdistant and irrelevant, while others are simply buried in academic workloads,leaving no time for the outside world.

However, this indifference is truly short‑sighted. If we neglect real‑worldevents, we risk being isolated from society. Besides, it also limits ourcritical thinking and reduces us to mindless test‑taking machines blind todynamic social changes.

To reverse this trend, small changes are simpler than we think. Start withyouth‑related features or education stories, which naturally spark ourinterest. Meanwhile, try to integrate news reading into our daily routine. Tenminutes per day for social updates is enough to help us stay connected with theworld.

Let’s step out of our textbooks and keep up with current affairs!

Possible version:

As Nora was sitting helplessly in the greenhouse, the door was pulled open.Mia, clutching her familiar spray bottle, stepped in hesitantly. Catching sightof her red swollen eyes, Nora felt a wave of guilt sting her throat. Breakingthe heavy silence, Nora managed a soft smile, “I’ve been waiting for the trueexpert.” A shaky breath escaped Mia’s lips, quietly dissolving the invisiblewall between them. Without another word, they seamlessly slipped back intotheir old rhythm. Nora carefully trimmed the frost‑bitten leaves with scissorsand checked the soil moisture, while Mia gently sprayed water over the curledpetals. Over the next few days, nourished by their joint devotion, the orchidmiraculously revived, its drooping stems straightening and fresh green shootsgradually emerging.

On presentation day, they carefully carried their orchid to the front ofthe class. Though it hadn’t fully regained its perfect shape, several vibrantgreen shoots stood proudly under the lights. Facing the class shoulder toshoulder, they took turns detailing their cultivation journey. Nora calmlyexplained their daily routines, while Mia openly shared the freezing accidentand their joint rescue efforts. “It was our shared responsibility that broughtthese new shoots to life,” Mia concluded, exchanging a warm glance with Nora.While their orchid did not rank at the top, their honest presentation earned awarm, lingering applause. Looking at the thriving plant, they realizedcooperation/ true friendship, much like the delicate orchid, couldwithstand the harshest frost and bloom beautifully when nourished with mutualunderstanding.

21.A 根据文章第四段，“we ask you to review and correct the machine‑generated output”，志愿者需要检查并纠正机器生成的转录文本，A 项 “修正人工智能工具产生的错误” 与此相符。B 项 “选择待转录的原始材料” 并非志愿者的主要任务；C 项 “生成初步转录文本” 是人工智能工具 HTRflow 完成的；D 项 “为戴维撰写传记” 文中未提及。

22.A 根据文章 “Who was Davy corresponding with?” 部分，戴维与迈克尔•法拉第的通信 “mainly discussed chemical experiments”，即主要讨论化学实验，因此选 A。B 项 “医学” 对应托马斯•贝多斯的研究领域；C 项 “文学” 与诗人塞缪尔•柯勒律治有关；D 项 “经济” 未在本文中提及。

23.B 根据文章最后一段，转录工作将使戴维的资料变得可以检索，方便未来研究人员查找相关信息，因此志愿工作的意义在于 “为未来的研究提供资源”，故选 B。A 项 “满足历史学家好奇心” 缩小了受益群体；C 项 “为好奇的人列出关键词” 与原文不符，关键词是研究人员检索资料的方式，而不是志愿者需要列出的内容；D 项 “为展览收集材料” 与原文不符。

B.本文是一篇议论文。作者从父亲无法操作智能家居设备的经历写起，指出许多现代科技产品为了追求更多功能而被过度设计，反而降低了基本的易用性，尤其给老年人造成了困扰。文章呼吁科技产品的设计者关注老年用户的实际需求，使技术真正服务于人。

24.C 根据第一段，“I tried...but got nowhere with anything, so I just gave up.” 说明他因无法操作公寓里的智能设备而感到沮丧，故选 C。A 项 “观看糟糕的电视新闻” 文中未提及；B 项 “独自坐在公寓里” 只是父亲当时的状态，并非其沮丧的原因；D 项 “弄坏触屏遥控器” 未在本文中提及。

25.D 第三段列举了智能手机触屏操作、图标设计和邮件转发方式等例子，说明设备为了追求更多功能和新颖的操作方式，反而使最基本的使用过程变得复杂。这些例子是对上文 “everything is being overengineered...to the point ofnon‑functionality” 的具体说明，因此选 D。A 为了抱怨设备需要高超的智慧，B 为了解释符号会导致操作混乱，C 为了说明触摸屏会惯坏老年用户，以上都不对。

26.C 最后一段指出，技术本可以更好地帮助老年人，前提是设备容易使用；作者还提醒设计者，他们有一天也会变老。由此可推知，产品设计者应更多考虑老年人的实际需求，故选 C。A 项 “智能设备将专门面向老年人” 文中没有依据；B 项认为未来科技会抛下老年人，表述过于绝对；D 项 “年轻人应教老年人实用的技能” 并非作者提出的解决办法。

27.D 文章指出许多现代科技产品因功能过多、设计复杂，反而带来使用困难。D 项 “设备越智能，生活越艰难” 概括了文章关于智能设备增加生活负担的核心观点，最适合作为标题。A 项 “更少的考验，更光明的未来” 与 “科技产品” 这一主题无关；B 项 “功能越多，使用越方便” 与文章观点相反；C 项侧重老年用户与设计者，未能概括全文对过度设计的批评。

C.本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了欧美国家在面对夏季高温和使用空调方面的文化差异，分析了南欧传统的避暑智慧以及欧洲可再生能源发展对民众环保顾虑的缓解，强调了在全球变暖的背景下，清洁且廉价的制冷设备不再是奢侈品，而应成为全人类的基本必需品。

28.C 文章第一段主要讲述了一个有趣的文化现象：欧洲人和美国人互相去对方大洲旅游时，都会抱怨对方的温度控制方式（美国太冷，欧洲太热）。结合上下文可知，作者是通过展示这种不同文化背景下的日常冲突（cultural phenomenon/complain/grow impatient），来自然引出关于空调与应对高温方式的讨论话题。因此，C 项 “通过呈现一种文化冲突” 正确。A 项 “批评能源浪费”、B 项 “描述旅游趋势” 和 D 项 “分析不同性格” 均偏离了该段落用来引出话题的核心内容。

29.D 文章第二段提到，南欧的房屋传统上就是为了应对炎热而建造的（built to handle heat），并具体列举了 “traditional houses, white paint and shadedcourtyards...Shutters keep out the midday sun” 等细节。这些利用白漆、庭院和百叶窗来保持凉爽的方法，都属于传统的建筑设计与智慧，故选 D。A 项 “调整照明系统” 未提及；B 项 “现代制冷技术” 与 traditional houses 矛盾；C 项 “独特的地理优势” 在原文中是北欧（Northern Europe）保持凉爽的原因，属于张冠李戴的干扰项。

30.B 根据文章第三段首句 “some Europeans who celebrate green lifestyles still feel pangs ofcarbon gu30.ilt about equipping their houses with air‑conditioning”，即一些推崇绿色生活方式的欧洲人在安装空调时会感到 “碳排放的内疚”。由此推断，“climate morality（气候道德）” 指的是为了减少碳排放而宁愿忍受酷暑，因道德负罪感而拒绝使用空调的行为，故选 B。A 项 “降低电费”、C 项 “获取政府资金” 均属于经济利益驱动，与 “道德” 无关；D 项 “推广舒适生活” 与牺牲舒适以保护环境的初衷完全相反。

31.B 文章最后一段引用 Elena Rossi 博士的话指出，“Cooling should no longer be a luxury but a basicnecessity.”（制冷不应再是奢侈品，而是基本必需品），并强调最终目标是 “make cheap, clean air‑conditioning for everyone”（为所有人提供便宜、清洁的空调）。这说明她认为负担得起的空调应当普及，成为大众都能轻易获取的基础设施，故选 B。A 项 “传统方法已过时” 未提及；C 项 “公众应避免使用空调” 与她的观点相悖；D 项 “人们可以选择忍受酷暑” 是引语前作者的客观看法，而非博士本人的主张。

D.本文是一篇科普类说明文。文章主要探讨了“画图效应” 对提升记忆力的积极作用，通过心理学实验解释了画图综合调动多种感官以加深记忆的原理，同时也指出了该方法在处理复杂任务时的局限性，强调了学习者不应盲目采用单一方法，而应根据任务难度和自身优势灵活调整学习策略。

32.B 根据文章第一段，写笔记是人们长期以来常用的方法，与后文提到新的 “绘画效应” 能显著提升记忆形成一定对比，暗示写笔记是传统常规的做法，此处 go‑to 意为 “标准的、首选的”(standard)，而非随机、临时或复杂的，故选 B。A 意为 “随机的”，C 意为 “临时的”，不符合原文。D 意为 “复杂的”，文中未提及。

33.D 文章第三段中 Jeffrey 解释了画图法有效的原因：“it forces the brain to process information usingdifferent senses.”(它迫使大脑使用不同的感官来处理信息)，随后具体列举了 “word meanings (语义分析), physical actions (物理动作), andvisual images (视觉图像)” 的有机结合。由此可知，画图法是通过综合调动多种感官来增强记忆的，故选 D。A 项和 C 项均只是整个记忆过程中的一个单一环节 (视觉 / 深度思考)，不够全面；B 项 “缓解精神压力” 属于无中生有。

34.C 根据文章第四段，“when they were dealing with difficult tasks, they showed no significantdifference in memory performance across the three conditions.” 当参与者处理困难任务 (difficult tasks，对应选项中的 challenging tasks) 时，三种策略 (包括画图) 的记忆表现没有显著差异，这说明此时 “画图效应” 减弱甚至消失了，故选 C。A 项和 D 项在原文中属于影响记忆过程的 “参与者个体因素”，而非导致画图效应下降的直接实验任务条件；B 项是实验中的对照组策略之一，与题干因果关系不符。

35.A 文章前三段肯定了画图法在记忆简单词汇时的强大作用，但在第四、五段通过转折词 (However) 引出另一项研究，指出它在处理复杂任务时并非放之四海而皆准 (nota one‑size‑fits‑all solution /not a magic pill)。作者在文末总结道 “Ratherthan blindly adopting a single method, learners should adjust their studystrategies...”(学习者不应盲目采用单一方法，而应根据任务复杂度和自身优势调整策略)。作者既肯定了画图法的优势，也清晰指出了其局限性，论证过程严密，态度是客观的 (Objective)，故选 A。B 项态度不清晰、C 项轻视、D 项一味赞同均不符合语篇的宏观逻辑。

第二节七选五 (共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)

本文是一篇说明建议类文章。文章介绍了陷入“生产力陷阱” 的三个表现：频繁切换任务、缺乏动力或创造力以及始终感觉事情没有做完，并针对这些问题提出相应建议。

36.G 考查上下文逻辑衔接。前文通过两个问题描述了一种状态：人总是很忙，却不确定自己是否真正完成了重要的事情；即使已经达到承受极限，仍觉得应该做得更多。G 项 “这是一种无休止地忙碌，而真正重要的事情却仍未完成的感觉” 正是对 “productivity trap” 的具体解释，因此选 G。

37.E 考查上下文逻辑衔接。前文指出，同时处理多项任务会分散注意力、降低效率。空后 “These are the tasks you will commit to focusing on first” 中的 “These” 需要指代前面提到的具体任务。E 项 “花一点时间列出一个简单的三项优先事项清单” 提供了明确的三个任务，与 “These are the tasks” 形成指代关系，也与后文 “恢复方向感，避免在任务间来回切换” 相呼应，因此选 E。

38.B 考查段落主旨句。本空是本段的小标题。下文提到，持续不断地工作会使大脑没有空间产生新想法，缺少灵感时，动力和创造力也会迅速枯竭。B 项 “你缺乏动力或创造力” 准确概括了本段内容，因此选 B。

39.F 考查上下文逻辑衔接。前文说待办事项清单增长的速度似乎比完成任务的速度还快，空后则指出，这种 “永远做不完” 的感觉会使人逐渐接近精疲力竭。F 项 “即使你确实完成了一些事情，你仍然觉得远远不够” 进一步描述了这种无法获得完成感的状态，与前后文衔接自然，因此选 F。

40.D 考查上下文逻辑衔接。前文指出，真正的生产力并不是一场完成越来越多任务的竞赛。D 项 “它关乎专注力、精力和行动意图之间的平衡” 从正面说明了真正生产力的含义。空后进一步指出，摆脱生产力陷阱、按照适合自己的节奏工作，才能为真正重要的事情创造空间。因此，D 项承上启下，符合语境。

第三部分语言运用 (共两节，满分 30 分)

第一节完形填空 (共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分)

本文是一篇记叙说明类文章。作者介绍了国际鹤类基金会人工养育幼鹤的特殊方法。为了避免幼鹤把人类当作父母，工作人员穿上仿鹤服装，并使用鹤形木偶喂养和训练幼鹤，帮助它们学习鹤的行为并掌握飞行技能。基金会希望最终建立一个能够由成年鹤自然繁育后代的稳定种群。

41.A 考查副词辨析与上下文逻辑。通常情况下，幼鹤应当由亲生父母抚养，因此此处表示 “理想情况下”(Ideally)，符合语境。Officially 意为 “正式地”；Suddenly 意为 “突然地”；Surprisingly 意为 “令人惊讶地”。

42.B 考查动词短语辨析。前文说，当幼鹤无法由亲生父母抚养时，基金会工作人员就会介入，教它们如何像鹤一样行动。step in 意为 “介入；出面干预”，符合语境。walk away 意为 “离开”；stand back 意为 “退后”；come along 意为 “一起来；出现”。

43.C 考查名词辨析与常识推断。幼鸟会把自己看到的第一个大型移动 “物体” 当作父母。object 意为 “物体”，能够概括人、动物或其他移动事物，符合语境。shape 强调 “形状”； target 意为 “目标”；shadow 意为 “影子”。

44.D 考查动词辨析与上下文语境。工作人员不让幼鹤看见人类，是为了让它们在以后被 “放归” 野外时懂得远离人类。release... into the wild 意为 “把…… 放归野外”。push 意为 “推动”；draw 意为 “吸引；拉”；admit 意为 “承认；准许进入”。

45.D 考查动词辨析。工作人员穿的裤子颜色与鹤腿的颜色相同。match 意为 “与…… 相配；和…… 一致”，符合语境。change 意为 “改变”；mix 意为 “混合”；reflect 意为 “反射”。

46.B 考查动词辨析与上下文语境。工作人员用床单遮住自己并模仿鹤的外形后，幼鹤像跟随成年鹤一样 “跟着” 他。follow 意为 “跟随”，符合语境。find 意为 “发现”；attack 意为 “攻击”；recognize 意为 “认出”。

47.B 考查名词辨析。受到同事做法的启发，工作人员进一步改进了这种装扮的 “设计”，制作了细致的鹤形木偶。design 意为 “设计”，与后文木偶的具体结构相呼应。quality 意为 “质量”；process 意为 “过程”；condition 意为 “状况”。

48.D 考查名词辨析与前文呼应。前文提到工作人员穿着与鹤外形相似的裤子，并操作鹤形木偶，因此他们是在穿着 “服装” 照顾幼鹤。costume 意为 “戏服；特殊服装”，且与后文 “get rid of the costumes” 直接呼应。 shorts 意为 “短裤”；masks 意为 “面具”；uniform 意为 “制服”。

49.C 考查动词辨析。工作人员最重要的任务是训练幼鹤飞行。coach 意为 “训练；指导”，后文介绍的奔跑、挥动手臂和拉伸木偶头部都是具体训练方式。force 意为 “强迫”；allow 意为 “允许”；command 意为 “命令”。

50.C 考查非谓语动词与动作搭配。工作人员一边奔跑，一边 “挥动” 手臂，模仿鸟类飞翔。wave one’s arms 意为 “挥动手臂”，符合语境。crossing 意为 “交叉”；hiding 意为 “隐藏”；raising 只表示 “举起”，不能准确表现反复挥动的动作。

51.A 考查形容词辨析。作者说，工作人员奔跑、挥动手臂的录像看起来有些滑稽。funny 意为 “滑稽的；好笑的”，符合语境。angry 意为 “生气的”；happy 意为 “高兴的”；scary 意为 “吓人的”。

52.D 考查名词辨析与比喻意义。看到自己照顾和训练的幼鹤终于起飞，作者感觉自己像一位自豪的 “父母”。parent 与前文幼鹤把成年鹤视为父母的内容相呼应。boss 意为 “老板”；friend 意为 “朋友”；guard 意为 “守卫”。

53.A 考查名词辨析与固定搭配。后文 “to help create...” 说明的是基金会希望实现的目标。aim 意为 “目标”，构成 “one’s aim is to do sth.”，意为 “某人的目标是做某事”。rule 意为 “规则”；habit 意为 “习惯”；choice 意为 “选择”。

54.C 考查动词辨析。基金会希望将来所有幼鹤都能由成年鹤自然抚养，到那时工作人员就可以不再使用这些仿鹤服装。remove 意为 “摆脱；脱掉”，符合语境。purchase 意为 “购买”；burn 意为 “烧毁”；show 意为 “展示”。

55.B 考查名词辨析。虽然工作人员不再需要穿仿鹤服装会使工作轻松很多，但作者会怀念自己与幼鹤之间亲密的 “互动”。interaction with... 意为 “与…… 的互动”，符合全文工作人员喂养、陪伴和训练幼鹤的内容。 cooperation 强调 “合作”；discussion 意为 “讨论”；comparison 意为 “比较”。

第二节语法填空 (共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分)

56.reunion 考查词性转换。介词 for 后面需接名词形式，reunite 的名词形式为 reunion，此处表示团扇代表着 “团聚”，故填 reunion。

57.a 考查冠词。可数名词单数前需加冠词，此处泛指一位第四代团扇匠人，fourth‑generation (第四代的) 是复合形容词，只修饰后面的 craftsman，故填 a。

58.which/that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处为限制性定语从句修饰先行词 fans，且从句中缺主语，故填关系代词 which 或者 that。

59.preserving 考查状语从句的省略。此处为 while 引导的时间状语从句的省略结构，完整还原：while we are preserving the original essence。当从句主语和主句主语 (we) 一致，且从句含 be 动词时，可省略 “主语 +be”，只保留现在分词 doing。

60.has obtained 考查动词时态。句尾有标志性时间状语 “up to now”，主句谓语动词需要用现在完成时，故填 has obtained。

61.Similarly 考查词性转换。放在句首修饰整个句子，需要副词作评注性状语。similar 的副词为 similarly，句首单词首字母大写，故填 Similarly。

62.given 考查固定搭配。given that 为连词短语，意为 “考虑到；鉴于”，引导原因状语。given 是分词转化而来的介词，given + 名词短语 /given that + 完整句子，故填 given。

63.with 考查动词短语。此处需要完整的动词短语 “come up with”，表示 “想出，提出，找到”，故填 with。

64.To advance 考查非谓语动词。句首不定式作目的状语，表示 “为了……”，此处 advance 为动词，表示 “推进，促进”，故填 To advance。

65.and 考查连词。此处为三组现在分词短语的并列结构，即: mixing..., protecting...and promoting...，故填 and。

M: I’ve been practicing nonstop, and I’m improving. But some others stilloutperform me. It’s annoying. (6)

M: I’m a collector by passion and profession. I’ve spent years trackingdown rare objects. It started as a hobby and eventually became my career.

W: Yes, I saw the email from the manager. (14) Nomore manned checkouts.

W: Yes.

M: I hope customers won’t get upset. Some peopledon't like using machines.

M: Usually, new things bring a sense of excitement to people, but when Ifirst moved to this school four years ago, I felt like a complete outsider.(17) My grades were poor, and I lacked direction and interest. My poor mom feltupset because she didn’t know what to do with me!

But over time, with guidance from teachers and classmates, things startedchanging. Coach Lu saw my soccer potential. Roy, the guy who’s since become mybest friend, helped improve my grades. (18) Eventually, I even became schoolcouncil president. But what makes me feel proudest is creating the schoolmatesupport program. (19) Community is important, so my duty is to form positiverelationships between junior and senior students. I wouldn’t be graduatingtoday without others helping me to believe in myself. They showed me everyonehas the power to rewrite their stories. It’s never too late to change yourlife, your interests, or your path. The key lies in accepting assistance whenyou need it. I’m proof that it can completely change your life. (20)
