Gilbert White made extensive observations of the natural world in the 1770s.Rather
than study dead specimens, as many“naturalists” before him, White observed plants and
animals in their natural settings, making him one of the early ecologists in Britain.
Because of the time at which he lived, he was not fully aware of certain phenomena
such as bird migration, although he suspected such things occurred.Through his writing,
many biologists were given an insight into the perception of the natural world before
technological advancements.
As a keen observer of birds, he distinguished between different species based on their
songs,without using telescopes.White's observations included seasonal data, such as bud-
burst and flowering of common plants, which he recorded in The Natural History and
Antiquities of Selborne — a collection of letters to two great scientists of the time.
This book has had more than 200 editions and is reputed to be — after the Bible, the
works of Shakespeare and Pilgrim's Progress — the fourth most published book in the
English Language.It was published in 1789 and since then has never been out of print.The
book contains 110 letters spanning 20 years.
In a letter, dated May 20, 1777, White discussed earthworms, stating: “Earthworms,
though in appearance a small and insignificant link in the chain of nature, yet if lost, would
trigger major ecological imbalance.” He also highlighted their role as promoters of
vegetation,noting their activities like making holes in the soil, creating pathways, and
producing beneficial waste through wormcasts (蚯蚓粪).
It is quite remarkable that here, from writings of nearly 250 years ago, White refers to
many activities of earthworms that we, as scientists and gardeners, now take for granted
and continue to investigate in greater detail.
24.What made Gilbert White different from previous naturalists?
高二强基班英语 第 3 页 共 8 页A.His approach to studying nature. B.His choice of observational tools.
C.His attitude to preserving species. D.His focus on controlled environments.
25.Why are the Bible and the works of Shakespeare mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To compare their historical significance.
B.To suggest their influence on White's book.
C.To highlight the popularity of White's book.
D.To illustrate the connections between classics.
26.What role do earthworms play in nature, according to Gilbert White?
A.They improve soil health. B.They control insect populations.
C.They' re too small to impact plants. D.They' re insignificant to ecosystems.
27.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.White could have investigated in greater detail.
B.White's work is great enough to be referenced.
C.White linked his observations to practical uses.
D.White's insights are still new to scientists now.

The sequel（续编）to the block extraordinary Chinese animation film, Ne Zha, was
released on Chinese New Year’s day, that is, Jan 29.
Like many other Chinese movies, Ne Zha 2 is also based on a Chinese mythological
figure—protective deity（神）Ne Zha.The film’s script is based on a popular 17th century
Chinese novel, the Investiture of the Gods, which is one of the first major literary works to
feature “deities” and “demons” in Taoism and Buddhism.
How come films based on Chinese mythology have become massive hits at the box
office? Ne Zha 2symbolizes rebellion.The image of Ne Zha has been modified from the
traditional tragic hero “returning to his father” to a modern rebel who “changes his destiny
against God’s will”, which is in line with the spiritual aspirations of today’s youths and
their determination to fight against labeling and pursue their goals.This kind of
modification breaks the character’s “sacredness” myth, enabling it to resonate with the
audience.
The film is a fusion of cultural symbols.It combines punk style, modern colloquialism
(俗话), names and other elements such as the “Sichuan-style Mandarin” accent of Master
Taiyi who is the tutor of Ne Zha.This practice grafts traditional cultural symbols with
popular culture, making the film appealing to the audience.At the same time, it fosters a
unique cultural identity.
Ne Zha 2 is a great innovation in visual aesthetics（美感）.The movie drives Gen
Next Internet of things with 5G and smart technology, with fascinatingly innovative art
direction, especially the misty landscape, which enhances the experience of going to the
theater.That Ne Zha has been created with utmost care is evident from the fact that the
character on the screen maintains its oriental aesthetic mood.Indeed, Ne Zha could become
a new cultural brand of China.
The film also illustrates changing family ethics.By transforming NeZha’s parents, Mr
and Mrs Li Jing, from traditional, strict parents to loving father and mother who “go
against God’s will to protect their son”, the filmmaker reconstructs Chinese family
relationships, echoing the younger generation’s pursuit of “family roots” and building a
cross-generational emotional connection.
The film demonstrates the technological heroism of Chinese animators, reflecting
Chinese film makers’ cultural confidence.Furthermore, the production team has increased
the character count threefold from the prequel（前篇）, an accomplishment that seems to
have impressed audiences.The number of special effects shots in Ne Zha 2 alone surpasses
the total number of shots in Ne Zha 1, giving audiences a visually spectacular
高二强基班英语 第 4 页 共 8 页experience.This reflects a commitment to create a more immersive and awe-inspiring
cinematic journey.
28.What is the main theme of the movie “Ne Zha 2 Demon Child Conquers the Sea”?
A.A courageous tragic hero returning to his father.
B.A contemporary rebel who does not submit to his given fate.
C.A story about a deity who follows traditional values.
D.A tale of a hero who adheres to societal norms.
29.What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A.The film adopts classical Chinese literature exclusively.
B.Modern cultural references are neglected in the film.
C.Traditional mythological elements are solely focused on.
D.The film gives full play to different elements like present-day dialects.
30.What technological advancement is employed in “Ne Zha 2”?
A.The use of 2D animation techniques.
B.The reliance on traditional hand-drawn animation.
C.The blend of 5G and smart technology.
D.The adoption of Chinese martial arts.
31.How does the film illustrate the concept of family relationships?
A.By portraying Ne Zha’s parents as strict and traditional figures.
B.By ignoring the role of family in Ne Zha’s lifetime.
C.By representing Ne Zha’s parents as affectionate and protective characters.
D.By unfolding Ne Zha as an orphan with no family ties.

“There are between 10 and 50 billion potentially habitable worlds in our galaxy”, says
Bill Diamond.He is the chief executive of the US based research organization Seti
（Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence）.“Seti is looking for science and technology
beyond the solar system as the evidence of life and intelligence, and that’s by and large a
needle in a haystack problem,” Mr Diamond says.“We’re looking for something that is
likely exceedingly rare and may be very difficult to find and extract from the background
phenomena that you’re observing at the same time.”
But the ability of AI to both handle massive datasets and to spot anomalies（异常现
象）is transforming the hunt for alien intelligence.Mr Diamond points to AI enabling the
search for new types of radio signals from aliens.Traditionally, Seti has looked for
narrowband（窄频的）signals like those used by humans.“But there was always the
question, ‘What if there’s an alien advanced technology that is using wideband radio?’ And
if that’s the case, our traditional methods wouldn’t work; it would look like a bunch of
noise on the screen.” However, Mr Diamond says that the ability of AI to handle massive
amounts of data means it’s possible to take millions of “snapshots” of the snowy audio
picture over time, and to start to look for patterns.
Researcher Peter Ma developed an AI system to examine telescope data and
distinguish between possible alien signals and interference.His team simulated both types
of noise and trained the AI to identify them.Mr Ma says that an alien signal can, for
example, only appear when we point our telescopes at it and disappear when we point
away.The project has already identified eight potential alien signals that went undetected
by traditional analysis.However, Mr Ma believes that as the observations haven’t yet been
repeated, they are probably false positives.
It’s early days, and any promising results generated by AI need to be confirmed by
other observations, or by physics-based models, before they can be shouted from the
rooftops .But as more and more data are collected and analyzed, the chances of detecting
alien life—if it exits—are increasing all the time.
高二强基班英语 第 5 页 共 8 页32.What does Mr Diamond stress in Paragraph 1?
A.The ambition to explore the solar system. B.The challenge of spotting aliens.
C.The existence of alien intelligence. D.The capability of artificial intelligence.
33.What does Mr Diamond want to prove by mentioning “wideband radio” in Paragraph 2?
A.The high IQ of aliens.
B.The deafening narrowband signal sources.
C.The potential for the application of AI.
D.The occurrence of new patterns.
34.What will Mr Ma depend on to judge his discovery?
A.The repetitive signals. B.The identified data.
C.The simulated noise. D.The conventional analysis.
35.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A.Before they can be imitated by physiclsts.
B.Before they can be talked about privately.
C.Before they can be confirmed under observation.
D.Before they can be made public.

Sometimes, determining which projects you should devote your time and energy to
first takes energy you don’t have to spare. 36 , you still need to figure out how to
prioritize them.Try the 3-3-3 method.
This technique comes from Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time
Management for Mortals. 37 .First, devote three hours to deep work on your most
important project.Next, complete three other urgent tasks that don’t require three hours of
focus.Finally, do three “maintenance” tasks, like cleaning, answering emails, or scheduling other
work.
38 .Jumping into it first means you’ll be fresh, focused, and more likely to be able
to focus on a task without getting distracted.Keep those three hours free of emails, texts,
chit-chat, or other smaller duties, to the best of your ability.
Deep work produces major productivity, so you’ll get a lot accomplished if you
commit to it, but you can’t stay in that mindset forever.You’ll wear yourself out after about
three hours. 39 .
Finally, your maintenance tasks give you a chance to get things done while giving your
brain a rest.This technique is similar to “eating the frog”, or doing your hardest task first
thing. 40 , or you can use it to put finishing touches on whatever you were working
on during those three hours of intense focus.
You can use this technique to manage seven different tasks of varying urgency
levels.Just be sure to stick with the process, starting with the big lift and finishing off with
the little jobs that keep it all flowing.
A.So go to three other smaller tasks to stay productive
B.But even when you know what tasks need to be done
C.He advocates planning each workday around a 3-3-3 model
D.Even if you pay attention to how many resources you will need
E.He’ll feel the same sense of relief when moving onto lesser tasks
F.Use your maintenance time to prepare for the following day’s work
G.What distinguishes this method from others is the first three hours’deep work

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。
Jocelyn and Eileen lived only a block apart, and their lives seemed to move perfectly
together.Where Jocelyn went, Eileen followed, and where Eileen dreamed, Jocelyn built.
But as the years passed, the closeness began to change.It started slowly: Jocelyn chose
a college in a distant city, while Eileen stayed close to home.Phone calls and text messages
became the way they communicated with each other.At first, they made it work.But soon,
the calls grew shorter, and the messages came with increasing delays.
A year turned into two.Jocelyn came home for Christmas during her second winter
break.They planned to meet at their favorite café.But when Eileen arrived, the warmth she
expected wasn’t there.Jocelyn looked different, as if the city had reshaped her.Her words
were rushed, her laughter slightly guarded.
They talked, but it wasn’t like before.Jocelyn’s stories of her fast- paced life in the city
felt foreign to Eileen.Eileen spoke about her job at the local bookstore and her recent
painting classes, but Jocelyn’s absent-minded nods hurt.There was a gap between them
now, wide and growing.
A week later, during a rare evening walk together, the tension finally surfaced.
“You never ask about me anymore,” Eileen said, her voice trembling (颤抖).“It’s like
you’re here, but you’re not really here.” Jocelyn stopped, surprised.“That’s not fair.I’m
trying, Eileen.But everything’s different now.Life is different.”
“You’re different,” Eileen shot back.“We used to share everything.Now I feel like I’m
just some small piece of your past.”
Jocelyn hesitated, searching for words.“I didn’t mean for this to happen,”she said
quietly.“But maybe we’re just growing in different directions.”
The silence between them was heavier than the winter air.They both knew the truth in
Jocelyn’s words, but neither wanted to admit how much it hurt.
Later their meetings grew less frequent.Their conversations became just the
occasional holiday greeting.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150 个左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
One spring morning, Eileen received a large express package from Jocelyn.________
Eileen felt a rush of emotions as she read Jocelyn’s heartfelt words._______________
