B
Just about 50 years ago, needing money to support my family—my novels weren’t
best-sellers—I had the idea of taking the longest train trip imaginable and writing a travel book
about it. The trip was improvisational. I didn’t have a credit card. I had no idea where I’d be
staying nor how long this trip would take. And I’d never written a travel book before. I hoped
my trip wouldn’t suffer a lot, though it was obviously a leap in the dark.
I set off with one small bag containing clothes, a map of Asia, a travel guidebook and some
travelers’ cheques, I was often inconvenienced, sometimes threatened, now and then disturbed for
bribes(贿赂), occasionally laid up with food poisoning — all this vivid detail for my narrative.
What I repeated in the more than four-month trip was the pleasure of the sleeping car. Writing
on board the Khyber Mail to Lahore in Pakistan, “The romance associated with the sleeping car
comes from the fact that it is extremely private, combining the best features of a cupboard with
forward movement. Whatever drama is being shown in this moving bedroom is heightened by the
landscape passing the window…” A train is a carrier that allows residence.
高一英语 第4页 共12页I wrote The Great Railway Bazaar on my return in 1974, and it appeared to good reviews and
quick sales.
That’s the past. Nothing is the same. All travel is time-related. All such trips are singular and
unrepeatable. It’s not just that the steam trains of Asia are gone, but much of the peace and order is
gone. Who’d risk an Iranian train now or take a bus through Afghanistan?
But I’ve been surprised by some of the more recent developments in travel. I rode on Chinese
trains for a year and wrote Riding the Iron Rooster, but now China has much cleaner and swifter
trains and modernized destinations. A traveler today could take the same trip I took in1986-87 and
produce a completely different book.
All travel books are dated. That’s their fault that they’re outdated, and it’s their virtue that
they preserve something of the past that would otherwise be lost.
27.What happened at the beginning of the author’s trip to Asia?
A. He made full preparations for the trip.
B. He had expected the journey to be rough.
C. He organized the trip with his family’s support.
D. He started the trip out of his passion for traveling.
28.Why did the author repeatedly recall the sleeping car?
A. For its long distance. B. For its full equipment.
C. For its reassuring privacy. D. For its romantic scenery.
29.What did the author try to convey by saying “Nothing is the same”?
A. The landscape in Asia was gone. B. Train trip was no longer popular.
C. He couldn’t write another bestseller. D. Transportation and travel had changed a lot.
30.Which of the following statements would the author most likely agree with?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Sharp tools make good work.
C. Travel broadens the mind. D. The journey, not the arrival matters.
C
Behind the enthusiastic song of an all male choir lies a force that is better known for shaping
the lives of hopeful frogs and crickets, research suggests. Recordings of a top boys’ choir, once
directed by Johann Sebastian Bach in Germany, reveal that the more mature boys in the group
boosted their voices when girls were appreciating their performances. The effect, seen only among
the older singers, aged 16 to 19, is thought to be similar behaviour more often observed in frogs
and crickets, which enhance their individual calls to stand out from the crowd during
mate-attracting choruses.
“The boys’ singing sounds more brilliant and has a more attractive quality when girls are in
the audience, but it is subtle,” said Keller, a professor who led the work at the centre for music in
the brain at a university in Denmark. Keller and his colleagues learned up with a well-known choir
in Germany after a student and former member of the choir mentioned that the boys boosted their
高一英语 第5页 共12页voices in a barely noticeable manner when female audience members were present.
Sound analysis of the boys singing a song composed by Bach found that, in the presence of
girls aged 15 to 16, the boy’s improved their vocal brilliance and carried power by putting more
energy. But it was unclear whether people, as opposed to sensitive sound devices, could detect the
shift in voices, and if they could, whether the resulting sound was more or less appealing because
of the enhanced singer’s performance.
To find out, the researchers ran two online studies in which 2, 247 male and female
volunteers listened to recordings of the boys singing with and without girls in the audience. While
both male and female participants showed a difference between the two performances, only
female volunteers preferred the boosted singing. “It’s really hard to tell,” Keller said. Details are
published in a journal.
For the recordings, the boys performed once before an all-male audience and a second time
when a group of teenage girls joined the front row on the pretence of being on a school trip. In
interviews after the concert, the boys felt they sang better in front of the girls but none admitted
trying to attract their attention.
According to the scientists, the findings suggest choir singing is a special form of social
communication where cooperation and competitiveness, the latter potentially motivated by the
opposite sex, can exist alongside one another. “You have a group of people working together, said
Keller, “but at the same time individually having this parallel channel of communication, sending
out the competitive signal saying: pick me!”
31. What drives the mature boys to sing better?
A. Their directors. B. Their audience. C. The frogs. D. The crickets.
32. What does the underlined word “subtle” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Brilliant. B. Competitive. C. Unforgettable. D. Unnoticeable.
33. How did Keller’s team carry out the research?
A. By observing the singers. B. By studying online documents.
C. By doing field research. D. By conducting studies online.
34. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Cooperation or competition B. Force behind boy’s choir
C. Research into the choir D. The audience effect

Every time AI drafts an e-mail or an image, the planet pays for it. Making two images can
consume as much energy as charging a smartphone. By 2027, the global AI industry could annually
consume as much electricity as the Netherlands. And a new study identifies another concern:
generative AI applications alone could add 1.2 million to five million tons of this harmful trash to
the planet by 2030.
Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products the globe
abandons annually. Cell phones, computers and other digital products often contain mercury (汞),
高一英语 第6页 共12页lead or other poisons. When improperly disposed of, they can pollute air, water and soil. In 2022,
about 78% of the world’s e-waste end up in landfills or at unofficial recycling sites, where laborers
risk their health to clean up rare metals.
The AI boom rapidly consumes data storage devices and high-performance components, which
are usually replaced when new versions are available. To calculate the e-waste contribution,
researchers examined hardware use, lifespan, and the industry’s growth rate. Their prediction is an
estimate that could change based on various factors.
This study’s biggest value comes from its attention to AI’s broad environmental impacts, says
Shaolei Ren, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside. “We might want AI companies
to slow down a bit,” he says.
Few countries mandate (强制) the proper disposal of e-waste, and those that do often fail to
carry out their existing laws on it. Twenty-five U. S. states have e-waste management policies, but
there is no federal law that requires electronics recycling.
Thankfully, some companies claim to be taking independent action. Microsoft and Google
have committed to reaching net zero waste and net zero emissions respectively by 2030. They have
many options to limit e-waste. It’s possible to squeeze more life out of servers, for instance, through
regular maintenance and updates or by shifting worn-out devices to less-intensive applications.
These strategies are vital to reduce e-waste and benefit society, the study authors estimate.
35. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?
A. The Netherlands consumes too much electricity.
B. The disadvantages of AI outweigh the advantages.
C. The environmental footprint of AI is alarmingly extensive.
D. AI’s energy-related issues largely result from image-making.
36. What is Shaolei Ren’s attitude toward the growth of AI companies?
A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Cautious. D. Ambiguous.
37. What is the key to reducing e-waste?
A. Adjusting AI application frequency.
B. Prioritizing smartphone recycling.
C. Banning the overuse of AI completely.
D. Adopting device-lifespan-extending measures.
38. What is the best title for the text?
A. AI May Worsen the E-waste Crisis B. E-waste Calls for Proper Use of AI
C. E-waste Problems Mostly Blame on AI D. AI and E-waste Always Go Hand in Hand

Aesthetic (审美) education aims to enhance aesthetic perception, experience aesthetic
qualities, stimulate aesthetic creativity, and promote aesthetic judgement.
In order for kids to be able to appreciate natural wonders, shapes and pictures, they must be
able to first notice them. This is why the development of the ability to notice the beautiful is the
primary task of aesthetic education. 39 Kids are incapable of noticing particular
shapes if their ability to notice objects and forms is undeveloped. The aesthetic relationship begins
with the noticing of aesthetic qualities.
40 This means that they generate emotional responses like excitement and
joy, enriching individuals’ emotional lives and inspiring artistic expression. The ability to
experience aesthetically must also be developed. The cognitive (认知的) elements of the processes
that we experience during noticing must also include emotional tones with which we form
impressions. 41 The aim of this task is, with the aid of aesthetic qualities, to enrich
the emotional life of children and young people and the development of a sense for aesthetic
values.
It is essential to allow children to participate in activities that will develop their creative
abilities. 42 Instead, it is about creativity in the creation of aesthetic values in
everyday life. We are not simply born with creative abilities which have to be developed.
Judging or evaluating aesthetic qualities demands formed evaluation criteria. In order for
beauty to reveal its true value, we must be familiar with its particularities. Throughout the process
of aesthetic education, various types of knowledge, abilities and evaluation criteria must be
applied. 43
A. Aesthetic qualities have to be felt.
B. Beauty can be found all around us.
C. The beautiful will be likely to be created.
D. And it is these that the aesthetic experience is built upon.
E. In some way, this is the ability to perceive aesthetic qualities.
F. This way, the child will develop the foundations for assessing the beautiful.
G. This is not so much about creating aesthetic abilities in the sense of training artists.
