第一节 阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上
将该项涂黑。
A
In the 40 years after Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay first reached the top of Mount Everest (珠穆朗玛) in
1953, an average of 12 people a year followed in their footsteps. In 2023, more than 1,200 people attempted the
climb.
High-tech equipment and better understanding of the physical impact of high altitudes (海拔) have brought new
hopefuls to Everest. But Will Cockrell, in his new book Everest. Inc, argues that the primary reason is the establishment
of a professional guiding industry.
The guiding industry exists mainly because of Dick Bass. Bass, who made a fortune in oil, bought his way onto
three different Everest expeditions (探险) and, in 1985, aged 55, he became both the oldest and least experienced
climber to reach the top. The sight of an ordinary person on top of the world generated the establishment of companies
to meet the new demand for tours.
The early years of guided expeditions in the 1990s were successful. In 1992-95, around 150 people paid to be
led up the mountain, and a third succeeded. During a 1995 expedition, a storm struck. The guides, eager for their
clients to reach the top, delayed turning them around. Three guides and two climbers died. One of the climbers, Jon
Krakauer, criticized the judgment of the guides and the selfishness of inexperienced climbers in his book Into Thin
Air. Many businesses assumed that the book would destroy them. However, interest in Everest skyrocketed.
In 2014, 16 guides were buried by falling ice while transporting clients’ equipment. Then, in 2015, an
avalanche (雪崩) killed ten guides and nine clients. As a result, many Western companies lost their enthusiasm for
Everest.
第2页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Everest. Inc ends on a confusing note. More people are reaching the top, but more are dying on the way, too:
18 people died in 2023, the highest-ever number. “Experts know more than ever about how to guide clients to climb
safely. But that does not make it a safe place,” said Cockrell.
1. What contributes to the rising popularity of Everest climbing according to Cockrell?
A. The appearance of group tourism.
B. The understanding of the mountain.
C. The study on human physical abilities.
D. The development of the guiding industry.
2. What do we know about Dick Bass’s success in reaching the top of Everest?
A. It enabled him to make a fortune.
B. It boosted demand for guided tours.
C. It proved the limits of the human body.
D. It marked the start of nature expeditions.
3. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning guided expeditions?
A. The initial success. B. The public criticism.
C. The climbing accidents. D. The physical challenges.
4. What is the best title for the text?
,
A. Everest Inc: A Guide to Everest Expedition
B. Reaching the Top: Opportunities and Challenges
C. Ups and Downs: The Story of Expedition Pioneers
D. Climbing Everest: Increasing Popularity and Deaths

Feeling burned out and looking for reasons to work less? A new study shows that working nights and volatile
(不稳定的) schedules in young adulthood can leave you to suffer from depression and poor health in middle age.
The research examined the work schedules and sleep patterns of more than 7,000 Americans over three decades,
from the ages of 22 through 50. To the surprise of the study’s author, New York University professor Wen-Jui Han,
only one-quarter of the participants worked traditional daytime hours. The remainder worked variable hours. Those
with volatile work schedules reported a greater likelihood of poor health and depression at age 50 than those with
more stable schedules.
“Our work now is making us sick and poor,” Han said in an interview. “Work is supposed to allow us to acquire
resources. But, for a lot of people, their work doesn’t allow them to do so. They actually become more and more
miserable (悲惨的) over time.”
第3页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Dr. Alyson Myers, a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, appreciated the new study’s focus on
the connection between work schedules, sleep and poor health. The study findings confirmed what she sees in many
of her diabetes (糖尿病) patients, who often get no more than five hours of sleep after they work night shifts.
Many of the participants in Han’s study who had volatile work schedules tended to have part-time jobs, in some
cases multiple part-time jobs. “Unfortunately,” Myers said, “the trend for a lot of these people is that they have to
work more than one job to survive.”
Han would like her research to promote conversations about ways of providing resources to help people live a
happy and healthy life when they’re dog-tired both physically and emotionally because of their work.
5. What does Han’s study mainly tell us?
A. The significance of a healthy lifestyle.
B. The rising trend of working variable hours.
.
C The long-term effects of unstable work schedules.
D. Some practical approaches to dealing with depression.
6. What is Myers’s attitude to people with volatile work schedules?
A. Understanding. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
7. What is Han’s expectation of her research?
A. To provide resources for the poor.
B. To help improve people’s well-being.
C. To raise awareness of healthy lifestyles.
D. To initiate dialogues between employees.
C
Animal-like robots are popular. And yet, says Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist, the field of robotics is far
less interested in exploring the other major category of living things — plants. She puts the unwillingness down to a
misconception (误解) about the usefulness of plant behavior: that they are capable of neither motion nor perception
(感知). “It’s not true at all,” she says.
Dr. Mazzolai and her team recently created FiloBot, a robot based on climbing plants. Like the real thing. FiloBot
is capable of growing, attaching to and wrapping itself around supports, and adapting itself to an environment in
response to external stimuli.
FiloBot imitates the behaviors of a climbing tree using sensors in its head which is also equipped with a layer
of plastic and a heating element. By softening and extruding (挤压出) the plastic in a circular patter, it can 3D-print
its own body at a rate of two to seven millimeters per minute. Depending on brightness and direction, it changes the
heat that the plastic is exposed to — lower temperatures result in a lighter body that increases in size more quickly,
第4页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司while higher temperatures make it thicker and stronger and grow more slowly.
The researchers found that these simple functionalities were enough to let FiloBot move through a complex and
unseen environment, cross gaps and find things to attach to. The lack of heavy on-board computing hardware, they
say, means that it moves easily and requires minimal monitoring, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb
things around it. They suppose that this makes it suitable for potential applications including environmental monitoring
in hard-to-reach locations, or monitoring disaster sites where existing facilities is unstable.
Dr. Mazzolai hopes that such projects will motivate other roboticists to draw inspiration from plants. The plant
kingdom is a world, she says, with a completely different approach to the animal one. “And we can develop new
technologies and artificial solutions, because it is so different.”
8. What leads to limited exploration of plant-like robots?
A. The slow growth rate of plants.
B. The lack of plant research capability.
C. The misunderstanding of plant behavior.
D. The difficulty of applying plant-like robots.
9. How does FiloBot grow?
A. By pressing a motion sensor. B. By exposing itself to sunlight.
C. By pushing out softened plastic. D. By controlling outside temperature.
10. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To point out the value of robotics. B. To present a newly invented robot.
C. To call for more research into robots. D. To correct a misconception about plants.
第二节 语句排序（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
11. 将下列语句（A、B、C、D和E）按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。
A. These songs reflected themes from the people’s daily lives, such as hunting animals or planting crops.
B. As these stories were often quite long, they often had rhyme and rhythm (韵律) to help people remember them
more easily.
C. Since nothing was written down, over the years different versions of these songs developed, and each area would
have its own respective rhythm. In addition to this, people would recite stories of past heroes.
D. Poetry probably had its origins in traditional folk music tens of thousands of years ago. In that era, there were no
TVs or films, and writing had not been invented, so people would sit around the fire at night and sing songs to
entertain themselves.
E. In the beginning, such songs and stories had a very simple format, and over time they became more complicated
and polished. These were no longer the works of amateurs sitting around a fire but works of poets who cared about
