Over the years, as I dealt with the pressure of finishing my Ph. D. and
starting my post-doctor, I had grown more competitive. I pushed myself to be
the first to generate thrilling results and to publish in high-impact journals. Those
who could have been collaborators(合作者)became rivals I hated.
But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of
what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had
to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became
overwhelming.I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive.
I emailed my mentors (导师),explaining that I had put myself second and the
高三英语 第4页 共12页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司job first for too long. They told me that I wasn't the first academic to feel
that way,and that I wouldn't be the last. They agreed that I should take the
time I needed to take care of myself. So, with my mentors' support and an
uncertain future,I left.
Back home, I spent time with family and friends and opened up about
my struggles. At first, I was ashamed. But the more I talked about my demons,
the more other people told me about their own. I also started to receive
emails from my workmates. After a few lines asking how I was, many expressed
worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life. Vulnerable
( 脆 弱 的 ) researchers were poking their heads out of their shells . Our
relationships deepened. I began to feel less alone.
Three months later, I was prepared to go back to the science that I
loved,and I now had a foundation to be more open with my colleagues. I
understood that we all struggle sometimes, and that collaboration can be more
powerful than competition.
With a bit of time, collaboration has replaced competition. Working wvith
others and seeking help doesn't weaken my value or contributions; it means we
can all win. I no longer feel lonely and unhappy.
24.How did the author feel after adopting a competitive approach?
A.Empowered and successful. B.Overwhelmed and isolated.
C.Motivated and productive. D.Ashamed and annoyed.
25.Why did the writer take a break?
A.He was always the last. B.He needed some time to readjust.
C.He got seriously homesick. D.He failed to care about himself.
26.What does the underlined phrase mean?
A.Trying to be open with others. B. Starting to walk out regularly.
C.Being more confident in research. D.Tending to be happier than ever.
27.Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?
A.From competition to cooperation B. From selfishness to selflessness
C. From problems to solutions D.From uncertainty to certainty
C
The humble beaver(海狸) could hold the key to saving our water,
according to a new research that has found how their dam building skills protect
the rivers threatened by climate change.
The research, done on the rivers in Colorado, found the wooden banners built
高三英语 第5页共12页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司by beavers raise water level upstream. As it builds up, the water flows into
surrounding soils and secondary waterways. These acts separate out extra
nutrients and pollutants before water reenters the main channel downstream.
Extreme weather events, such as severe storms, impact water quality in
major river systems. Droughts and floods are becoming more frequent, and the
scientists have also found they are contributing to an increase in the American
beaver in the US, and consequently an explosion of dam building.
The team chose to monitor a 40-kilometer stretch of the East River. They
reviewed data on water levels gathered hourly by sensors fixed in the river and
the areas along the river.
They also collected water samples, including from below the ground's surface
to monitor nutrient and pollutant levels. The researchers compared water quality
along the stretch during a historically dry year, to water quality the following year
when water levels were unusually high. They also compared these year-long
datasets to water quality during the nearly three-month period, starting in late
July2018, when the beaver dam blocked the river.
The study revealed the dams increased nitrate(硝酸盐)by nearly 50% by
increasing the pressure of the water flow upstream 10 times over,which pushed
more water out into the surrounding areas.The nitrates are absorbed and digested
by tiny organisms in the soil. This helped increase the oxygen content and quality
in the rivers.
Beavers' hard work is responsible for the land they love.
28.What do the wooden barriers created by beavers act as?
A.Waterways. B.Samples.
C.Dams. D.Sensors.
29.What is the direct result of frequent droughts and floods in Colorado?
A. More dams emerge on the rivers.
B.More American beavers appear in the US.
C. More pollutants are removed from the rivers.
D. More oxygen is created in the rivers.
30.Why did the researchers collect water samples from below the ground's
surface?
A. To keep an eye on the water quality.
B. To improve the nutient of the stretch.
高三英语 第6页共12页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司C.To remove pollutants from the river.
D. To decrease the effect caused by the flood.
31.What is the main idea of the text?
A. Dams do good to water quality.
B. Beavers contribute to climate change.
C. Extreme weather catches researchers' eyes.
D.Beavers help protect rivers against climate change.

Anime(二次元)culture has become a very common culture in our
daily life.As people's mninds become more and more open, most people
gradually begin to accept anime culture. Although increasingly more young
people like anime culture than before, many still don't know why there
are so many people like anime culture in reality. What is its attractive
charm?
First and foremost, anime is not immature and cynical(玩物丧志
的).Many people don't understand people who like anime, just because
they don't try to understand anime. They only evaluate it through other
people's words and their own knowledge. Of course, the comments are
not very pleasant. After all, the older generation don't agree with anime.
Moreover, the reason why today's young people like anime so much
is not because they are killing time, nor because they are addicted to
animation, but because of pressure. Today's society is completely different
from that of the 1980s.Back then, having a motorcycle or a big TV at
home was already impressive. But now, cars, houses, and savings are
everywhere, and young people are easily suffocated(扼制).
When we see anime protagonists(主人公)unconquerable in the
drama,willing to sacrifice everything to defeat enemies for their dreams
and friends, it's like seeing us unwilling to be outdone in reality. Aren't
those bosses in anime just like the things that bring us pressure in
reality? When we see anime protagonists hitting them one after another,
it's like we're putting all the pressure on ourselves,and we feel exhilarated
(畅快淋漓).
In recent years, the rapidly rise popularity of anime games such as
Genshin Impact(原神)and Love of Light and Night(光与夜之恋)has
certainly brought a rich side to the life of the current young generation.
Luo Xiang once said: "Paper
高三英语 第7页共12页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司people are virtual, and after a long time in the virtual story, they are
unwilling to enter the real story." It is normal to embrace anime culture,
but we still need to have expectations for the future and believe in our
youth and dreams.
32. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To enhance people's awareness of anime culture.
B. To persuade people stop contacting anime culture.
C. To lead the deeper description of the anime trend.
D. To arise reader's love to anime culture.
33.What is the seniors'view of anime?
A.Unbearable. B.Negative. C.awful. D.wonderful.
34.What are the reasons why young people like anime drama?
A.Young people cannot bear the enormous pressure of house loans.
B. Young people are often oppressed by their parents and elders.
C. Young people have lost confidence and hope in the current reality of life.
D.Young people have found their dream selves through the characters.
35.What can we infer from what Luo Xiang put in the article?
A. We cannot treat the virtual world as an Eden to escape real-life problems.
B. The current world is too false and not worth our time to pay attentionto.
C.In order to let people return to reality, all anime games should be banned.
D.The anime world is as important as the real world.

For many of us, the closest we get to wild animals is at a zoo.
These places let us see amazing animals from big cats to tiny lizards, and
what they are like. It's an enjoyable and educational experience for us,
but is it the best environment for these animals?
36 Later on, live animals were captured by explorers, brought
home and put on show to the public in menageries(野生动物园).
37 Modern zoos, however, have transformed the living environments
for animals, making bigger enclosures, removing bars, and to some extent,
copying their natural habitats.
Some people have questioned thecruelty of keeping animals captive(圈养的)
高三英语 第8页 共12页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司for entertainment,but zoos are keen to show that they help wildlife by
educating us about conservation. In the UK, the introductionof the Zoo
Licensing Act of 1981required zoos to educate the public. 38
Probably the biggest claim from zoos today is that they help protect
species in the wild that are under threat due to climate change. Robert
Young, Chair in Wildlife Conservation at Salford University said, "There are
quite a lot of different species around the planet which we wouldn't
have today if it wasn't for zoos."
39 Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently praised Cheser Zoo in the UK
for its conservation work. It brought "a rare fish species back from the
dead" after breeding and releasing a school of golden skiffia fish back
into their native river.
40 For instance, a virtual reality zoo enables the public to see
rare animals and have amazing interactions. Jon Coe, a zoo designer, told
the BBC,“Taking a walk through a her d of elephants in Serengeti National
Park in Africa, I think, is going to be possible pretty soon."
A. Animal welfare was not a priority.
B. Animal protection is becoming a global issue.
C. What we should do next is not to disturb wildlife.
D. New opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored.
E. Some zoos have programs to preserve the future of endangered species.
F. Long ago, people could only see wild animals as dead exhibits in a museum.
G. Since then, more zoos have been involved in raising people's
awareness of wildlife conservation.

学科网(北京)股份有限公司One afternoon in August, an old woman named Marie Boyer,who lived
alone,fell at the foot of the stairs in her home. She was just lying
unconscious(昏迷的)on the floor.
The next afternoon, her regular mail carrier, Lisa Sweeney, passed by
and noticed something unusual. Though she and Marie hadn't had much
conversation over the years, Lisa knew her habits. She was surprised not to
see Marie working in her garden, because she usually spent most
afternoons there when the weather was fine.
I just had a feeling in my heart that Marie was inside. "Lisa recalls.
She went straight round to the back of the house, thinking that the old
woman might be in the kitchen, but she didn't find anybody there. Puzzled,
Lisa returned to the front of the house and knocked hard on the door.
There was no answer. She thought that this was very strange, so she
knocked on a neighbor's door, but he'd been away on vacation1 and arrived
home just a short time before so he didn't know anything. Just then Lisa
noted that Mane's bottle of milk, which was delivered early in the morning,
was still on the doorstep. It was a clear warning sign.
