该项涂黑。
A
There are many scientific breakthroughs made by women in the Antarctic. Here are four landmarks in
Antarctica and the female pioneers they’re named after.
Jones Terrace
The ice-free terrace in eastern Antarctica’s Victoria Land bears Jones’ name. In 1969, geochemist Lois M.
Jones led the first all-female research team from the U. S. to work in Antarctica. Jones and her team studied
chemical weathering in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, an ice-free area of Antarctica. Through chemical analyses ofrocks they had collected, Jones and her team discovered many geochemical characteristics of the valley’s ice-
covered lakes.
Mount Fiennes
8,202-foot-high Mount Fiennes, located on Antarctica’s largest island—Alexander Island—is named after
Ginny Fiennes. She established and maintained 80-foot-tall radio towers in the Antarctic with her colleagues. In
1985, Fiennes became the first female invited to join the Antarctic Club, a British supper club open to individuals
who have spent extended time in the Antarctic region.
Francis Peak
The 3,727-foot-tall peak on Antarctica’s Adelaide Island is named after Dame Jane Francis, who is the first
female director of the British Antarctic Survey, the national polar research institute of the UK. Her collection of
fossils on Seymour Island helped conclude in a 2021 paper that Antarctica’s abundant plant fossils indicate the
continent once had a much warmer climate than it currently does.
Peden Cliffs
Peden Cliffs near Antarctica’s Marie Byrd Land are proof of the labor of Irene Peden. She was the first
American female scientist to both live and work in the Antarctic, where she used radio waves to study ice sheets.
Peden and her team determined how very low frequency radio wave spread over long polar distances by
measuring pathways in the
ice. They also used varying radio wave frequencies to measure the thickness of Antarctica’s ice sheets.
16. What do the first two pioneers have in common?
A. They analyzed different chemicals of rocks in Antarctica.
B. They both worked with their own team in Antarctica.
C. They conducted the research in the ice-free areas in Antarctica.
D. They joined the Antarctic Club for their stay in Antarctica.
17. Who proved the previous higher temperatures of the Antarctic?
A. Lois M. Jones. B. Ginny Fiennes.
C. Dame Jane Francis. D. Irene Peden.
18. What is the scientific breakthrough of Irene Peden?
A. She was the first American scientist to explore the Antarctic.
B. She measured the spreading frequencies of radio waves.
C. She found out the thickness of Antarctica’s ice sheets.
D. She discovered a lot of ice-covered lakes in the Antarctic.
B
Canadian author Alice Munro, a master of the contemporary short story, passed away on May 13, 2024, at 92.
Munro’s texts featured depictions of everyday but decisive events, pulling vast themes out of ordinary
settings. Her characters often mirrored her own rural Ontario lifestyle. In an interview after winning the Nobel
Prize, she said that living in a small town gave her the freedom to write. “I don’t think I could have been so brave
if I had been living in a city, competing with people on what can be called a generally higher cultural level,” she
said. “As far as I knew, at least for a while, I was the only person I knew who wrote stories.”
Munro’s first short story was published when she was 37, a college dropout squeezing in writing time around
her children’s naps. By the time she was in her 60s, she had become one of the most celebrated short-story writersin the world. Throughout her long career, she hardly ever failed to wow readers and critics with her quietly
powerful language. In reviewing her last collection, Dear Life, NPR critic Alan Cheuse wrote “A Munro story
gives us so much life within the bounds of a single tale that it nourishes (滋养) us almost as much as a novel
does.”
In a literary culture that tends to celebrate novels over shorter fiction, Munro has been a constant advocate for
the power of the short story. In the interview, Munro emphasized the significance of her win not for herself, but
for her art form: “I really hope this would make people see the short story as an important art, not just something
you play around with until you get a novel written.”
When asked “Do you want young women to be inspired by your books and feel inspired to write?” Munro
replied, “I don’t care about that. I want people to find not so much inspiration as great joy. I want them to think of
my books as related to their own lives in ways.”
19. Why did Munro feel free to write while living in rural areas?
A. She was inspired by rural landscape and lifestyles.
B. She was free from stress of a more cultured setting.
C. She had more courage to compete with urban writers.
D. She had access to ordinary people and decisive events.
20. What did Alan Cheuse say about Munro’s stories in Dear Life?
A. They promote readers’ mental well-being.
B. They have broken the length limit of short stories.
C. They impress readers with quietly powerful language.
D. They offer richness and depth in shorter format.
21. How did Munro view the short story in literary culture?
A. It is more powerful than novels. B. It is a way of entertainment for young writers.
C. It is as important an art form as novels. D. It is an inspiration for young writers.
22. What did Munro want readers to get by reading her books?
A. Inspiration to become writers themselves.
B. Enjoyment and connection to their own lives.
C. Pleasure and motivation to change their lives.
D. Information about art forms and literary culture.
C
Handwriting notes in class might seem old-fashioned as digital technology affects nearly every aspect of
learning. But a recent study in Frontiers in Psychology suggests that taking notes with pen and paper is still the
best way to learn, especially for young children.
The new research builds on a 2014 study that suggested people may type notes quickly, without thinking
much about what they’re writing-but writing by hand is slower and makes them actively pay attention to and
process the incoming information. This conscious action of building on existing knowledge can make it easier for
students to stay engaged and grasp new concepts.
To understand specific brain-activity differences during the two note-taking approaches, the authors of the
new study sewed 256 electrodes (电极) into a hairnet. These sensors let the scientists record 36 students’ brain
activity as they wrote or typed words displayed on a screen. When students wrote by hand, the sensors picked upwidespread
brain connectivity throughout visual regions that receive and process sensory information, and the motor cortex
(运动皮层) that helps the brain use environmental inputs to inform a person’s next action. Typing, however,
resulted in minimal activity in these brain regions.
Vanderbilt University educational neuroscientist Sophia Vinci-Booher says the recent study highlights the
clear tie between physical actions and concept understanding, “As you’re writing a word, you’re taking this
continuous understanding of something and using motor system to create it.” That creation then affects the visual
system, where it’s processed again-strengthening the connection between an action and the words associated with
it.
Vinci-Booher notes that the new findings don’t mean technology is always a disadvantage in the classroom.
Digital devices can be more efficient for writing essays and offer more equal access to educational resources.
However, there’s a growing trend of relying on digital devices to perform cognitive (认知的) tasks, such as taking
photos instead of memorizing information. Yadurshana Sivashankar, an researcher at the University of Waterloo
says, “If we’re not actively using these areas, then they are going to become worse over time, whether it’s memory
or motor skills.”
23. Why does the author mention the 2014 study?
A. To present different research findings. B. To make the new research more convincing
C. To compare two note taking approaches. D. To show the advantage of writing slowly
24. What can be learned from the experiment in Paragraph 3?
A. Sensors were used to process visual information.
B. Electrodes were connected to students’ hair directly.
C. Writing by hand activated more brain activity than typing.
D. Typing stimulated the motor cortex to inform following action.
25. What would Sophia Vinci-Booher probably advise students to do?
A. Make better use of motor system. B. Take advantage of digital devices.
C. Adopt a new approach to taking notes. D. Memorize words by writing essays.
26 What is the main idea of the text?
A. Technology is not a disadvantage in classroom.
B. Writing by hand comes with learning benefits.
C. Taking notes enhances students’ brain activity.
D. Two note-taking approaches have clear differences.
D
The more scientists investigate the microbes (微生物) living inside us, the more they learn about the
surprising impact of the tiny organisms on how we look, act, think, and feel. Are our health and well-being really
driven by the bacteria, viruses and fungi that live in our intestines (肠), in our lungs, on our skin, on our eyeballs?
What a weird concept — that the bugs we carry around appear to be essential to establishing the basic nature of
who we are.
The effects of the microbiome, the microorganisms that exist in human body, can be profound and can start
incredibly early. In a study, scientists showed that something supposedly as natural as a child’s character might be
related to the bacteria in an infant’s digestive system; the more Bifidobacterium (双歧杆菌) there are, the sunnierthe baby is. This observation, from the University of Turku in Finland, is based on an analysis of samples from
301 babies. Those with the highest proportion of Bifidobacterium organisms at two months old were more likely
to exhibit a trait the researchers called “positive emotionality” at six months old.
Microbiome science is still relatively young. Most studies so far have been initial and small-scale, involving
only a dozen or so mice or humans. Scientists have found associations between the microbiome and disease but
can’t yet draw clear cause-and-effect conclusions about our extensive collection of microorganisms and their
effects on us as hosts. Still, the collection itself is mind-boggling — it’s now thought to be around 38 trillion
microbes for a typical young adult male, slightly more than the number of actual human cells. And the prospects
for putting that collection to use are more than promising.
In the not-too-distant future, according to the most enthusiastic researchers, it might be a routine for us to
take a dose of healthy microbes in various forms. Hopefully, with the help of new medical advances, we will be
able to achieve our full potential by functioning at peak levels internally and externally.
27 What can we learn about microbiome?
A. The development of microbiome is quite mature nowadays.
B. The more Bifidobacterium an adult has, the healthier one is.
C. More microbes than human cells are present in young men.
D. Microbes have little influence on shaping our identity
28. What does the underlined word “mind-boggling” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Weakening. B. Astonishing. C. Disturbing. D. Misleading.
29. What can be inferred from the text?
A. It’s necessary to remove certain fungi from our body.
B. 2-month-old babies are often more positive than 6-month-old ones.
C. New supplements related to microbiome are likely being developed
D. The relationship between microorganisms and disease remains unclear.
30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. How microbes benefit our health.
B. How microbes shape our lives.
C. What affects early childhood.
D. What Turku University reveals about microbes.

The Secret of Flowers
Anna worked with her mother in their vegetable garden every day. This was how they made their living.
Anna helped her mother tend the garden, so the vegetables would be healthy and ready for the market. Anna often
pretended the plants she tended were beautiful roses, like Mrs. Brown’s prize flowers.
The only person in the village who made money selling flowers was Mrs. Brown. She grew roses and sold
them to flower shops in the city. Every year she joined the City Rose Festival. People thought that Mrs. Brown
used magic to grow her roses. How else could she win first prize twenty years in a row?
Anna loved to tend flowers. Moreover, she often dreamed about growing her own roses and winning first
prize in the festival. With the prize money, she would also be able to lighten the burden at home. However, roses
were too expensive for her to start.
One day, Anna visited Mrs. Brown to see her flowers. Mrs. Brown was whispering to her roses when she
arrived. “Spying on me again!” Mrs. Brown frowned.
“I only came to see your flowers, Mrs. Brown.” Anna took a deep breath. “I wish I could grow beautiful roses
and win a prize at the festival like you.”
“I have experience passed down from generations.” Mrs. Brown laughed. “Stick to vegetables, child. Leave
flowers to those who know the secret of flowers.”
Mrs. Brown returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Anna’s face. Then she pulled up a dried-up
rose, and threw it over the fence. “A plant in bad condition. Unworthy of my time,” Mrs. Brown mumbled.
Anna smiled, as she had an idea. She bowed farewell to Mrs. Brown and went out the garden gate. Mrs.
Brown was busy minding her prize roses. Anna quickly bent over and grabbed the abandoned rose before rushing
home. She remembered a quiet spot behind the cottage. It was the perfect place for her little rose to grow. Now,
she had a chance for the festival.
Anna planted the rose in her garden and tended it carefully.
