BAM-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam. When the sound began a couple of weeks ago, our dog thought we
were under attack. He ran between the storm door and the window back and forth, looking for attackers and barkinghis head off.
What he’s hearing are acorns (橡子) dropping from the white oak tree (橡树). The acorns hit the roof, I race
outside, trying to beat the chipmunks (金花). It’s unusual for a grown woman to be racing chipmunks for chipmunk
food, but I’m collecting acorns for a good reason.
As Douglas W. Tallamy explains in his remarkable 2021 book, “The Nature of Oaks”, oaks are the central life
form upon which so many other species in the wild depend. Hundreds of insects feed on oak leaves, and those
insects in turn feed birds and even other insects. Oaks are commercially valuable, too, used in making everything
from furniture to flooring.
We understand the ecological benefits of oak trees. We understand how many commercial industries rely on
wood from oaks. But even though we know those things, “Older white oak trees are not being replaced by younger
white oak trees at a pace that will support long-term survival,” according to the White Oak Initiative. In my
neighborhood, some giant old trees are cut down to make room for ever-bigger houses. Still, others are removed out
of nothing more than fashion to “improve” the curb appeal of the house or to be replaced by a less “messy” tree,
among other foolish reasons.
With all the trees lost in my neighborhood, I have a plan for my acorns. It’s possible to buy young trees from a
nursery, of course, but oaks do better when planted from acorns, and now is the time to collect them. Last fall I
tried to plant some acorns from a friend’s chestnut oak, but the squirrels (松) dug them all up and carried them off.
This year I’ll plant my acorns in flowerpots and protect them with bricks and hardware cloth. Come spring, I’ll
hand the seedlings (幼苗) out like Easter eggs.
4. Why does the author race outside?
A. To drive the chipmunks away. B. To prove she’s a grown woman.
C. To find out the reason for the sound. D. To gather acorns ahead of the chipmunks.
5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The value of oaks. B. The spread of oaks.
C. The decrease of oaks. D. The symbolism of oaks.
6. What does the author think of replacing oak trees with other trees?
A. Necessary. B. Creative. C. Fashionable. D. Stupid.
7. What will the author do this year?
A. Plant acorns in flowerpots.
B. Buy oak seedlings from a nursery.
C. Give away oak seedlings at Easter.
D. Drive the squirrels out of the neighborhood.C
Insects cause billions of dollars of damage to crops every year, driving farmers to apply pesticides on an
industrial scale, at huge expense and often with unwelcome ecological side effects. They take this, carpet-bombing
approach because they lack information about where and when it is best to hit pests, and nobody wants to use too
little pesticide and thus risk losing crops. Technologists at FarmSense, a firm in Riverside, California, hope to
change that.
The established approach to detecting insect pests, moths in particular, is to employ pheromone-baited (以外
激索为诱饵的) sticky traps. Pheromones are chemicals which animals use to communicate — and especially to
attract members of the opposite sex. An appropriately baited sticky trap gives a fair idea of the number and type of
pests around, but not with sufficient detail for the accurate application of pest control measures. FarmSense’s
researchers believe they can do better.
The company’s device, FlightSensor, has been in full-scale tests on farms since 2020 and is about to be made
generally available. It does, not trap insects. Rather, it detects them with a laser as they fly by. The developers’
finding was that the shadows of passing wings produce the same signal as the sound of the wing beats recorded by
a microphone.
For the first group of targets the results are impressive. Navel orangeworm moths, in particular, are a common
pest of almond and pistachio trees both important to Californian agriculture. FlightSensor can identify them
accurately mare than 99% of the time. And the device is still improving its capability, and adding new species as it
gets more data. Sometimes it can distinguish insects which, to a human eye, look identical.
Farmsense’s approach work, better than microphones for recording, wing beats because the insects under
investigation are quiet and the sound they send out is thus easily lost in background noise. They are easily
detectable by laser, though. And while sticky traps are at least a solution for large moths, the FarmSense sensor
picks up extremely small moths. From farm to lab, then, identifying insects with FlightSensot may soon be all the
rage on farms.
8. What is the problem with the carpet bombing approach?
.
A It has very little effect. B. It takes too much time.
C. It’s weather dependent. D. It’s costly and damaging.
9. How does FlightSensor work?
A. It uses light for insect analysis.
B. It detects chemicals from insects.
C. It works by recording wing beats.
D. It traps insects by giving out sound.10. What can we say about navel orangeworm moths?
A. They are hardly under control at present.
B. They are a threat to Californian agriculture.
C. They are clever enough to avoid FlightSensor.
D. They are a new species discovered in California.
11. What does the underlined part “all the rage” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Well protected. B. Quickly removed.
C. Widely adopted. D. Closely checked.
D
For the first time, neuroscientists have established a connection between changes in our visual perception (视
觉感知) and the rhythm (节奏) of our steps while we’re walking.
Researchers studied 45 subjects walking in a virtual environment along a 10-meter path. During each 9-second
walk, subjects responded to visual inputs. Eye and head movements, as well as walking information, were tracked.
“The study shows that the brain processes vision in a rhythmic manner, rising and falling in response to rhythm
with our steps. When swinging from one step to the next, visual perception is good and reactions are fast. During
the footfall, however, our vision is not as sharp and reactions are slow.
Lead author Dr Davidson said, “We are consciously aware of a smooth stream of vision but this is deceptive.
Compare it with a duck swimming on a pond. Beneath the smooth motion on the surface there is a lot of cycling
activity.” For the mismatch, the current view is that the brain is a predictive machine that actively predicts what
ought to be there and fills in the missing details
It is unclear why our brain’s perceptual processes are so closely related to walking. Professor Alais said, “One
possible explanation is that vision becomes secondary to movement control while your foot is grounded and the
next step is planned. Once you are in the swing stage between footfalls, the brain switches back to prioritizing (优
先处理) the sensing of the world, creating an ongoing perceptual rhythm that harmonizes with your step rate.”
Dr Davidson said, “An obvious question is whether the connection is more evident in the elderly given
difficulty with balance as we age. The findings also raise the exciting possibility that we could develop cheap and
easy medical tests using VR headsets, or use this information to develop tests for the early stage of muscular
disorders or some mental illnesses, which can be shown in abnormal walking.” He said it could also be applied to
further research in sports science to better decision-making and reaction times in athletes.
12. What happens to a walking man according to the study?
A. The head moves with the steps.
B. The brain works best during the footfall.C. The level of vision experiences changes.
D. The eyes’ information processing is limited.
13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deceptive” in paragraph 3?
A. Effortless. B. Unreliable. C. Inspiring. D. Changeable.
14. What does Professor Alais’s explanation highlight?
A. The narrow range of human focus.
B. The cooperation among body parts.
C. The different tasks of the human senses.
D. The adaptive nature of brain processing.
15. Which findings will Dr Davidson agree with?
A. They help improve athletes’ recovery.
B. They need to be tested on a larger scale.
C. They may fail to apply to elderly people.
D. They may drive progress in various areas.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You might have heard that keeping a journal is a great way to record your thoughts and understand your
emotions. Typical journaling involves only writing. ____16____ And because there are so many ways to express
yourself in an art journal, it’s a wonderful creative outlet for both beginners and more experienced creatives.
The focus on self-expression is where an art journal differs from a sketchbook. A sketchbook can have
elements of art journaling, particularly when it comes to drawing or painting. ____17____
Art journaling is a way to practice self-care. It encourages you to take a little time for yourself — even if it’s
just for 15 minutes a day. When you look back at what you’ve written or drawn, you can gain valuable view into
the challenges in your life. The point of creating a visual journal is not to make every page a masterpiece.
___18___ Remember, it’s just for you!
Art journaling is completely customizable (可定的) depending on your skills and interests. Many people
choose to use mixed media and decorate their pages with drawing and painting materials. ____19____ The most
important thing when beginning your art journal, however, is selecting the right book.
____20____ Size is one, if you enjoy making large drawings, for instance, then a bigger book might be best.
Art journals look great when you fill the page, so whatever size you choose, make sure it combines well with the
way you like to work. Another factor to think about is the type of pages in the book. Since it’s a good chance you’ll
be using mixed media, select a book whose paper can handle both drawing and painting.A. Also, you become aware of your style.
B. This way, you’ll save not only your money, but also your nerves.
C. But it doesn’t have to include imagery that relates to your inner thoughts.
D. Others prefer sticking with a single medium that they’re comfortable with.
E. There are many considerations when it comes to picking your journal book.
F. But for those who are more visually-minded, an art journal is a great alternative.
G. You simply need to enjoy the act of creating something without worrying about if it looks good.

When I first saw The Book Shop in Wigtown, I was eighteen years old, back in my hometown and about to
leave for university. I ____21____ remember walking past it with a friend and ____22____ that I was quite
certain that it would be closed within the year. Twelve years later, while visiting my parents, I called in to see if
they had a ____23____ of Three Fevers by Leo Walmsley, and while I was talking to the ____24____, admitted
that I was struggling to find a(n) ____25____ I enjoyed. He suggested that I buy his shop since he was eager to
retire. Less than a ____26____ later, a month after my thirty-first birthday, the place became mine.
Before I ____27____, I ought perhaps to have read George Orwell’s essay “Bookshop Memories” published
in 1936. It rings as true today as it did then, and sounds a ____28____ to anyone as naïve (缺乏经验的) as I was
that the world of ____29____ second-hand books is far from the ____30____ image of siting in an armchair
while a stream of customers absorbs you in intelligent conversation. In fact, the truth could hardly be more
different.
Everyone who has ____31____ in the shop has commented that customer interactions ____32____ more
than enough ____33____ to write a book — Jen Campbell’s Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops is
____34____ enough of this — so I began to write things down as they happened in the shop. These notes
____35____ turned into my own book, The Diary of a Bookseller.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every autumn, the small town of Maplewood hosts a Scarecrow Festival (稻草人节), where families gather to
create or display their homemade scarecrows, all competing for the title of “Best Scarecrow”. This year, Emma was
determined to participate with her little brother, Oliver. They had spent weeks gathering old clothes, straw, and
paint to carefully plan their masterpiece.
On the morning of the festival, Emma and Oliver were busy creating their scarecrow in their front yard. The
air was clear with the scent of fallen leaves, and children’s laughter filled the yard as other families prepared. Just
as they were adding the final touches — a brightly painted pumpkin head and a jaunty hat — Mrs. Parker, their
elderly neighbor, walked by with her cane. She had always been a comforting presence in the neighborhood.
“Good morning, Mrs. Parker!” Emma greeted her with a cheerful wave, her hands covered with paint.
“Good morning, dears,” Mrs. Parker replied warmly. “That scarecrow looks wonderful. You two have really
outdone yourselves.”
“Thank you!” Oliver smiled, “We’re hoping it wins the contest.”
A gust of wind blew, swirling leaves around their feet, and Mrs. Parker fell, nearly losing her balance. Emma
quickly steadied her, heart pounding with concern. “Are you okay, Mrs Parker?” she asked worriedly.
Mrs. Parker smiled weakly, “I’m fine, just a little unsteady these days. This old cane isn’t quite what it used to
be.”
Emma and Oliver exchanged worried glances. Seeing Mrs Parker’s frailty (虚弱) was an obvious reminder of
her age. After she continued on her way, taking slow, cautious steps, Emma turned to Oliver. “We should keep an
eye on Mrs. Parker. She’s been so kind to us, and she might need help.” she said firmly.Their parents often reminded them to look out for their neighbors, especially those older or living alone.
Emma recalled the many times Mrs. Parker had brought over cookies or helped with school projects, her gentle
presence a comforting constant. She also remembered Mrs. Parker stories about winning the Scarecrow Festival in
her younger days with her beautifully crafted scarecrows, which were always the highlight of the event. Her
expertise in scarecrow making was well-known in the neighborhood.
Realizing that true kindness and community spirit meant being there for others in times of need, Emma and
Oliver knew it was time to repay Mrs. Parker’s kindness.
