Imagine that you take a walk around your yard or nearby park and immediately, the sounds
of an insect band surround you. Produced by the muscular movements of insects called treehopper
(角蝉), this imagined soundscape comes from vibrations (共鸣) that flow across the surface of
plants. But it is not at all like the familiar vocalizations of crickets(蟋蟀); instead, it’s something
richer, more varied. Some sounds are song-like, others are similar to the noises of machines or
musical instruments. The noise made from even a single plant may be “as noisy as a busy street”.
In An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us, Pulitzer
prize-winning science journalist Ed Yong explains that, on a real walk instead of this one we’ve
imagined, humans would not be able to hear the treehoppers’ music without special equipment. In
the company of scientists with a laser vibrometer (振动计) a device that changes the treehopper
vibrations into sounds audible to human ears, Yong gets to hear them in the wild and in the
laboratory. He is shocked by the attractive sounds.
In this book that follows on from 2018’ s I Contain Multitudes, Yong writes in a perfect
balance of scientific severity and personal awe as he invites readers to grasp something of how
other animals experience the world. Communicating through surface vibrations is a rather cool
example that extends beyond treehoppers to elephants and spiders, and to this fact about frogs.
Attuned to vibrations entering the eggs, frog hatches quickly if a snake shows up with a hard bite,
but ignore rain, wind, footsteps and even an earthquake.
My admiration for the book is, well, immense. Like many thousands of other people, I have
高三英语 第2页（共10页）relied throughout the course of COVID-19 on Yong’s reporting at The Atlantic as he cracked open
the fast-changing world of pandemic science. Now, with An Immense World, Yong brings into
beautiful focus a host of other animal sensory worlds that co-exist with ours, and how we may
protect them.
4. How does the soundscape come about according to paragraph 1?
A. It comes from humans’ muscles.
B. It arises from the vocalizations of crickets.
C. It comes from an imaginable world.
D. It arises from vibrations flowing across the surface of plants.
5. Why can Yong hear the treehopper’s music?
A. Because of a laser device.
B. Because of the surface of plants.
C. Because of the nature of the insects.
D. Because of the special imaginable environment.
6. What can we learn about An Immense World?
A. It appeals to all kinds of peoples.
B. It is aimed at protecting the animals.
C. It is scheduled to be published next year.
D. It describes a virtual world full of animals.
7. What is the text?
A. A news report. B. A historical novel.
C. A book review. D. A personal biography.
C
Stanford University researchers have developed a device called a nature-inspired aerial grasper，
or SNAG, which can be attached to a quadcopter drone(四轴无人机)to give it feet and legs like
those of an eagle. When equipped with the device, the drone is able to fly around catching and
carrying objects and perching (栖息) on various surfaces, according to a Stanford news release
dated Dec.1, 2021, describing the work.
But copying the flexibility of birds wasn’t easy to do. The researchers shot videos of small
parrots flying back and forth between special perches that contained sensors to measure the
高三英语 第3页（共10页）physical forces of landing, perching and takeoff.
“What surprised us was that they did the same aerial military exercise, no matter what surfaces
they were landing on,” one of the researchers, William Roderick, explained in the news release.
“They let the feet handle the variability and complexity of the surface texture itself,” he said.
Giving a drone similar abilities required technological feat (技艺). SNAG has a 3D-printed
structure that imitates an eagle’s lightweight bones, and each of its legs is equipped with a motor
for moving back and forth and a second one for grasping.
Mechanisms in the robot’s legs are designed to absorb impact energy and passively change it
into grasping force, the way that a bird’s muscles would. As a result, a drone equipped with the
device can grasp something strongly in just 20 milliseconds. Once the robot’s feet are wrapped
around a perch, its ankles lock and an accelerometer—a device that measures vibration-detects the
landing and activates a balancing algorithm (算法)to stabilize it on the perch.
Elsewhere, researchers at other institutions also have been working for years on giving drones
the ability to land and hang onto something. As this 2019 Smithsonian article explains, being able
to land in various places helps drones to conserve energy that would expend by having to remain
in the air. That’s important, because the flight time of robotic aircrafts is limited by their battery
power.
8. What inspired the SNAG’s development?
A. The way parrots perch. B. The military exercise.
C. The 3D-printed technology D. The eagle’s lightweight bones.
9. What makes the drones’ grabbing something strongly so quickly possible?
A. The powerful battery.
B. Their ability to imitate parrots’ taking off.
C. The application of advanced flying techniques.
D. The mechanical devices modeling a bird’s muscles.
10.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Flight time is not vital to the drones.
B. After 2019, researchers quit efforts to improve flight time.
C. Flight time has been a problem before this study.
D. Researching the ability to land and hang onto something is meaningless.
高三英语 第4页（共10页）11. What’s the most suitable title for the text?
A. Drones, an application to the military.
B. Robotic drones, really like birds.
C. Robotic drones, a comparison of birds.
D. Quadcopter drones, advanced technology.
D
Since the beginning of the summer in 2022, China has been sweltering under the worst
heatwave in decades. A number of people in Zhejiang, Henan, Jiangsu and Sichuan provinces
were diagnosed with thermoplegia (热射病), the most severe form of heatstroke, and some even
died of this disease.
In a warming world, the hazards of heatwaves are increasing. According to a study, the number
of deaths caused by heatwaves in China has increased rapidly since 1979, from 3,679 persons per
year in the 1980s to15,500 persons per year in the 2010s.
“Over the past four decades, the main drivers of the large increase in heatwave-related deaths
in China are the rapid increase in the frequency of heatwaves, followed by population growth，
population aging, and rising baseline mortality(基线死亡率),”said Prof. Huang Cunrui, a
researcher from Tsinghua University.
High temperatures would accelerate the loss in soil moisture (水分) and hurt the growth of
corn, cotton, trees and fruits. What’s more, each additional degree of warming will increase crop
losses to insects by 10-25 percent, threatening food security for billions of people. China has
witnessed a range of extreme weather events, including heavy rainfall, flooding, tornadoes and
record heatwaves this year. Meteorological officials said the country had an average temperature
of 21.3 degrees Celsius in June, 0.9 degrees Celsius higher than the same period on average, and
the highest record for the same period since 1961.
Experts say that while extreme summer heat is not entirely new, these sorts of occurrences
could be something that becomes a standard part of life, requiring people to start learning how to
cope with heatwaves that may continue for the rest of summer and well into the future.
Remember that even healthy, young athletes can be harmed by extreme heat, so every activity,
indoors or outdoors, should be evaluated when extreme heat hits. There are some ways to stay safe
during extreme heat events, such as drinking plenty of water, looking for shade or remaining in
高三英语 第5页（共10页）shade when outside, and avoiding cooking large meals that can add heat to your indoor
environment.
12.What does the underlined word “hazards” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Discussions. B. Studies. C. Causes. D. Dangers.
13.What is the main reason for the growing heatwave-related deaths in China?
A. The aging of the population.
B. The larger amount of outdoor workers.4
C. The increasing frequency of heatwaves.
D. The rise in the number of the total population.
14.What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. Rural areas suffer more from heatwaves than cities.
B. China has witnessed the worst climate ever in 2022.
C. High temperatures have negative effects on agriculture.
D. Climate change contributes to the decline in insect species.
15.What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Ways to deal with extreme heat.
B. The trend of heatwaves in the future.
C. The importance of keeping healthy in summer.
D. Influences of global warming on the environment.

How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career
When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.
___16___. If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a
bad way to go, of course, but you can’t always make money doing things you like (like video
games or drinking beer). And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or side passion.
Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn’t sound so bad. Maybe a doctor,
engineer or lawyer? Or maybe that’s out of your educational reach, so you choose office or retail
高三英语 第6页（共10页）worker. ___17___ but often they are not something you’re really passionate about. It’s kind of like
just doing something because it’s there—not very inspired.
However, there’s another way that is perhaps better: ___18___. For example, taking care of
children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life, or blossom into who
they want to be or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the
community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure
for a terrible disease. ___19___ and if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in
that work feeling a sense of purpose each day.
There are endless ways to do that. The point isn’t how you serve the world, but just serving
the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose. ___20___
A. These are all great choices
B. Think about what you like to do
C. You can identify your purpose and work out how to get there
D. Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose
E. Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better
F. The sooner you complete the training requirements, the sooner you will make a living
G. If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you’re always further along than most people

Great things happen the minute we step outside of our comfort zone. For me, one of the most
important things we should always remember is that growth and __21__ can’t coexist.
Personal development expert Napoleon Hill once said, “Whatever the mind can believe, it
can achieve __22__ how many times you may have __23__ in the past or how great your aims
and wishes may be.” This statement is __24__ because it reminds us that we’re the only ones who
can be __25__ for how far we’ll go. To reach any __26__, we’re usually required to __27__ the
way we do things.

__28__ real changes. But perseverance and continuing to move forward are __29__ important, as
it’s extremely easy to slide back into old __30__ without realizing it.
For long, I wanted to live in Argentina, so halfway through my bachelor’s degree, I bought a
高三英语 第7页（共10页）one-way ticket there. While I was there, I was able to __31__ the last two years of my degree
online before flying home for graduation. I still live in Argentina now, and I can proudly say that
taking the __32__ steps to make it a __33__ was one of the most important things I ever did.
Certainly, I’m not suggesting we should all buy one-way tickets to foreign countries and just see
what __34__. But it’s important for us to __35__ what we want and try to bring our __36__ to life.
Living in a comfort zone can trick us into __37__ we have enough time, when years can fly
by without having accomplished what we really wanted to. We won’t __38__ have tomorrow to
do what we could have done today. So, accept the discomfort and allow it to __39__ you to try
new things. You never know what you could be missing out on by remaining __40__.

高三英语 第9页（共10页）My brother has been fond at building things since he was a kid. After earning a degree in
computer science, he has developed software for different businesses. With his childhood dream
in mind, he eventual quit the job and began to build 3-D printers. Having never taken some classes
in electrical engineering or robotics, he found everything he was supposed know on the Internet.
He often starts with some parts finding from online stores. The rest is trial and error. He comes up
with a design idea, test it and observes the result. If it doesn’t work, he analyzes why or starts over.
That’s not so different from what a scientist does an experiment. I admire him for his applying
original idea to real-world problems. I hope he will succeed.
