dishes and treasured institutions to pioneering chefs and new directions. Here is what some of the
contributors want to say to you.
Patrick Hanlon
Although there is a lot of seaweed around Ireland’s coast, it wasn’t always liked. However, it’s now
becoming increasingly popular as a key part in traditional Irish food. The dish I enjoyed while looking out
over the Atlantic in Connemara perfectly showed how popular seaweed has become lately.
CONNEMARA, P8

women winemakers that really impressed me. They’re working hard to make real change in the industry,
and their love for the island, its produce and their community runs through everything they do. SANTORINI,

Americans have adopted dogs in record numbers in the pandemic (流行病), and we really don’t like
leaving our new family members home on their own. We worry that they’ll be lonely, or worse, chew the
furniture. So we ask: What would we want to do if we were at home with nothing to do? Watch TV, of
course.
DogTV, a channel for dogs, has been available in the United States since 2012. Last month it expanded
to reach dogs in England, Australia and New Zealand and is now available in 14 countries. Unsurprisingly,
more than 80 percent of the channel’s subscribers are Americans, who make up the largest pet market in the
world.
According to Ron Levi, the founder of DogTV, there is a significant amount of separation anxiety
among pet owners. DogTV was created to provide sensory and visual stimulation that can help reduce this
anxiety. Levi came up with the idea for the channel in 2006 when he realized that dogs are highly social
animals and often struggle when left alone at home. Thus, he decided to focus on their needs.
While some animal behaviorists advocate for the use of toys and puzzles instead of TV, others believe
that certain types of programming can be beneficial when there is nothing else going on. For pet owners like
Sage Randall, who got a new dog named Carrot Cake in 2020 to keep her company while working at home,
the guilt of leaving a pet alone can be great. She laughed when a friend advised her to get DogTV and
thought it was crazy to even imagine a dog actually sitting still to watch television. However, she tried it and
was shocked that Carrot Cake enjoyed watching the different landscapes and seeing other dogs playing.
Although DogTV may not be a perfect solution for every pet owner, it provides an interesting look at how
technology is being used to address the needs of dogs.
As for whether dogs actually enjoy television or if we are simply finding comfort in providing them
with this very human form of entertainment, that remains an open question.
24. Who is most likely to be the author of this article?
A. A dog owner. B. A mobile subscriber.
C. An animal behaviorist. D. An American marketer.
25. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Americans like dogs best. B. The pet market is growing.
C. Dogs cost their owners a lot. D. DogTV is gaining popularity.
26. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How dogs’ needs are met. B. Why DogTV was created.
C. What worries pet owners. D. Who founded the channel.
27. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Sage Randall?
A. To compare different ways of treating dogs.
B. To explain dogs’ fondness for watching TV.
C. To illustrate the attitude of some pet owners.
D. To show the effect of technology on animals.
C
Yes, having a big name in science will help get your paper published, a new study confirms.Involving
hundreds of researchers reviewing an economics paper, the study found that reviewers were more likely to
2
学科网（北京）股份有限公司recommend acceptance when the paper was associated with a famous author compared to a lesser-known
one.
The Matthew effect, a term coined in 1968 to describe this prejudice, has been a topic of concern
among scientists for years. However, previous efforts to document this prejudice had limitations such as
small sample sizes or lack of randomization. To address these issues, a team from the University of Innsbruck
conducted an extensive study.
The team sent emails to about 3,300 researchers, inviting them to review an economics paper for a real
journal. The paper had two authors: Vernon Smith, a Nobel Prize winner, and Sabiou Inoua, one of Smith’s
former Ph. D. students. The potential reviewers received one of three descriptions of the paper: one
mentioning only Smith, another mentioning only Inoua, and a third with no author mentioned. Of the
researchers who agreed to review the paper, Smith’s fame influenced their responses. When given only
Smith’s name, 38.5% accepted the invitation to review, while the figures were 30.7% for those given no
name and 28.5% for those given only Inoua’s name.
To further avoid prejudice, the team randomly assigned the 313 reviewers who initially received no
author’s name to review one of three papers: one credited to Smith alone, another to Inoua alone,and a third
with no authors listed. Reviewers rated the paper credited to Smith the highest, praising its inclusion of new
information and data-supported conclusions. The version with no authors received recommendations for
acceptance from 24% of reviewers, more than double the percentage for the version credited only to Inoua.
The team warned against evaluating identical work differently based on the author’s identity and
suggested that double-blind reviews may reduce the prejudice. However, this approach may not be effective
as reviewers can often identify authors through preprints or conference presentations.
28. What does the term “the Matthew effect” refer to according to this passage?
A. A topic of public concern.
B. A preference in publication.
C. A document describing coins.
D. A way to get papers accepted.
29. Why did the team from the University of Innsbruck carry out the extensive study?
A. To review an economics paper. B. To find fault with prior studies.
C. To further investigate an effect. D. To study how to release papers.
30. What are presented in paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Data reception and release. B. Paper description and scores.
C. Research methods and findings. D. Authors’ identities and responses.
31. What does the team suggest to reduce the prejudice?
A. Revising the review method. B. Reading the online preprint.
C. Assessing different works. D. Adding new information.
D
Cities, often seen as ecological wastelands, actually have the potential to produce exceptional
biologists. While traditional biologists typically come from rural backgrounds, urban residents possess
diverse skill sets that make them better ones.
Take myself as an example. Growing up in Philadelphia provided me with a unique angle to look at
urban ecology. The city’s distinct seasons, plentiful squirrels, row homes, and festivals served as my first
ecological classroom. It was there that I witnessed wild cats eating birds and rats, people driving bats from
3
学科网（北京）股份有限公司their homes, and snakes being killed by lawn mowers(割草机). This was ecology in action, as real as any
observation in fields and forests.
The unique environment of urban areas encourages wildlife there to develop distinct feature s and
behaviors that set them apart from their rural counterparts: they may be larger in size, be active at different
times of the day, move differently, and even display different personalities. Some biologists argue they are
even “smarter” because they balance more risks, such as exposure to roads, poisonous chemicals and
diseases from domestic animals—with rewards, of course, like inhabitable parks and human-provided food.
As human residents of cities, we too adapt to the risks and challenges of urban living. This adaptation
sharpens our intuition(直觉)—we learn which streets to avoid and lock our doors for safety. Our ability to
assess threats and our awareness regarding safety influence our behaviors and choices, much as they do for
urban wildlife. Shared experiences such as these enable us to better understand and appreciate urban
wildlife.
Most of the world’s population now accesses green and blue spaces, as well as wildlife, within urban
neighborhoods. Nature is no longer only untouched wilderness; it includes sounds of human laughter, trash
trucks and fire alarms. We urban residents are resourceful and imaginative. We need more capacity, more
participation, more energy and more innovation in science to create solutions to fight environmental
degradation and reduce biodiversity loss. Identifying this talent across cities presents a practical approach.
32. What did growing up in Philadelphia teach the author?
A. Philadelphia is uniquely rich in wildlife.
B. Studying biology at school helps greatly.
C. Urban wild creatures need protection too.
D. Cities are far from ecological wastelands.
33. What does the underlined word “counterparts” in paragraph 3 most likely mean?
A. Similar species. B. Potential enemies.
C. Natural resources. D. Qualified biologists.
34. What experiences help urban residents understand wildlife better?
A. Eco-friendly habits. B. Risk-aware behaviors.
C. Ill-informed choices. D. Fast-paced urban life.
35. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Cities Build Better Biologists B. What Makes Smarter Residents?
C. Urban Areas Encourage Wildlife D. Who Saves Ecological Wastelands?

The cool night filled us with eager anticipation as we began climbing Mount Tai. Along the way,we
met fellow travelers, all pursuing 56 same goal: the sunrise. In the moonlight, their faces seemed
unfamiliar, 57 our shared purpose united us. “Keep going; we are almost there!” someone
cheered, giving us the motivation to continue as we paused for a break. “You can do it!” added another
voice. These words of 58 (encourage) were like a warm wind, refreshing our tired bodies and
minds. After about four hours, we finally reached the peak, where the temperature was 59
(noticeable) lower. Wrapping 60 (we) tightly in rented coats, we found a 61 (suit) spot and
settled down to await the sunrise.
The sky gradually transformed, shifting 62 deep blue to rosy colors. Suddenly a red sun
jumped out from behind the clouds, and thousands of rays of light 63 (shine) on the peak. With golden
clouds delicately suspended in the air, Mount Tai appeared like a fairyland, 64 (create) a
breathtakingly beautiful scene. Bathed in the brilliant sunlight, the entire mountain seemed to come alive
with birds singing and trees swaying, as if nature itself was joining in the celebration of the new day.

After a busy week, Emily and her parents decided to go on a mountain picnic. They longed to fully
experience nature’s beauty and enjoy quality family time. Little did they know, this outing would be filled
with unexpected twists and turns(波折).
6
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Arriving at the mountain’s base, they discovered a house, in front of which Mike and his father had just
finished loading a boat onto Mike’s truck. Emily approached them and asked for the best picnic spot in the
area. Knowing the mountain well, Mike suggested a location about two hours’ walk away. “It’s worth the
effort,” he assured them.
Parking their car next to Mike’s truck and carrying their picnic supplies, Emily and her parents set off
on the winding road. Tall green trees on one side, a flowing stream on the other, the road eventually led them
to a breathtaking clearing dotted with colorful wildflowers. They enjoyed their delicious sandwiches, fruits,
and snacks, engaging in pleasant conversations.
Just as they finished their meal and settled down to relax, dark clouds unexpectedly rolled in. It looked
like rain. Panicked, they hurriedly set up the tent they had brought. No sooner had they entered than raindrops
began pouring on the roof. Heavy rain enveloped the surroundings, making it impossible to see anything.
They had no choice but to patiently wait it out.
After what felt like a century, the rain ceased. Emily and her parents wasted no time packing up their
belongings, ready to get downhill. However, their excitement turned to worry when they discovered that the
small stream they had previously crossed had turned into a wide and impassable river. With no cellphone
signal, they were trapped without a means of seeking help. To make matters worse, darkness was
approaching.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of a vehicle from across the river.
