（2024高一下·金華期末）A new observation in Sumatra caught seasoned scientists by surprise. An orangutan (紅毛猩猩) known as Rakus treated a fresh wound with a medicinal plant, making this the first time an animal has been seen applying a biologically active substance (物質(zhì)) for its health benefits. This leaves scientists wondering: Did humans invent medicine, or does it pre-date our species
These animals are known to be among the most intelligent non-human primates (靈長類). They've been observed using tools, communicating vocally, and engaging in even more complex behaviors like calculated reciprocity, which involves aiding another orangutan with the expectation of being paid back. They can even use Skype with some help from humans.
Roughly 60,000-70,000 of these creatures remain in the wild, about 15,000 of which live on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. That's where the Suaq Project, part of the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior, observes orangutans in their natural habitat.
The researchers noted in June that Rakus had a small wound on his face following a fight with another mature male orangutan. Several days later, Rakus did something no one had ever seen a primate do before. He began carefully picking the leaves from a climbing vine (藤蔓) known as akar kuning. Local human populations have long used these leaves for pain relief and to treat conditions like malaria. Orangutans don't usually eat these plants; indeed, Rakus didn't eat them. He chewed (嚼碎) them and then applied the resulting paste to his facial wound.
This is the first time researchers have seen such behavior in 21 years at the Sumatran research station. Wild orangutans are rarely injured, so this may be a rare but widespread behavior. Or perhaps Rakus is the only one that knows this trick. The researchers assumed that early humans may have learned about certain treatment by observing animals engaging in similar behaviors. And here we are, thousands of generations later, still watching and wondering just how smart they are. Increasingly, it looks like orangutans are one cave painting away from civilization.
4．Why does the author mention Skype in paragraph 2
A．To support an idea. B．To draw a conclusion.
C．To explain a problem. D．To present a suggestion.
5．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．How Rakus got injured. B．How Rakus treated his wound.
C．What Rakus ate in the wild. D．What Rakus explored in the forest.
6．What can be inferred about the new observation
A．It proves the medical value of a plant leaf.
B．It shows a widespread behavior among orangutans.
C．It answers one of scientists' questions about medicine.
D．It adds evidence to show the intelligence of orangutans.
7．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Non-human Primates Seen Using Tools in the Wild
B．Orangutans Proved to Be the Most Intelligent Primate
C．A Project Observes Orangutans in Their Natural Habitat
D．An Orangutan Observed Applying Medicinal Plant to a Wound

In the spring, the western tanagers(唐納雀)prepared to migrate(遷徙)thousands of miles to the forests of the Mountain West, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards.
To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers feed on insects and berries. They must take advantage of the early-season boom in insects that started with springtime plant growth to produce healthy young. But as global climate change caused spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers were arriving at their destination after what was known as "green-up", when flowers began blooming and insects popped up. With the shift of the time when plants put out new leaves, western tanagers became more likely to reach their destinations when food is in shortage or after insect numbers have begun to drop.
Scott Loss, a professor at Oklahoma State University and his colleagues used satellite imagery to calculate the average start of spring green-up along the typical migration routes of 150 North American bird species, and then compared that timing with the current green-up. They found that spring was indeed beginning earlier along birds' migration routes. The trend continued this year.
The paper continued to build this picture of the inability of birds to track the changing seasons caused by climate change. Timing mismatches between birds and their food could affect whether birds survived the migration and how many chicks they had.
Morgan Tingley, an researcher at UCLA said that the migration research could indicate conservation efforts in the future. "Part of it suggested which species were vulnerable(易受傷害的)to various threats," Tingley said. "This added to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide range of bird species." And he hoped that the information would serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible: "It was really important, if we couldn't address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can."
8．During the migration, what will happen to the western tanagers after "green-up"
A．They will struggle to find enough insects and berries.
B．They will have difficulty finding suitable nesting sites.
C．They will hardly find blooming flowers for reproduction.
D．They will find it hard to survive harsher weather conditions.
9．What is the direct result of the timing mismatch between birds and their food
A．The loss of birds' habitats.
B．The decrease of birds' survival rate.
C．The contribution to the greenhouse effect.
D．The increase of difficulty in biodiversity conservation.
10．What is Morgan Tingley's attitude towards the research findings in the last paragraph
A．Uncertain. B．Critical. C．Concerned. D．Indifferent.
11． Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．The Diverse Patterns of Bird Migration
B．The Timing Mismatch of Western Tanagers
C．The Impact of Climate Change on Migratory Birds
D．The Vulnerability of Bird Species to Various Threats
（2024高一下·衢州期末）However good the rest of that joke might be, the one thing we know for sure is that the person hearing a joke is far more likely to laugh if they are in the company of others, compared to being alone. Studies have shown that people are 30 times easier to laugh in company than when on their own. Laughter is a social behavior. It is infectious(有感染力的) and is caused by other people's presence and their laughter. In fact, try listening to laughter, not the joke that produced it. It's more than likely that you will find yourself beginning to laugh along in response.
There appear to be two different sorts of laughter. There is the involuntary laugh, which is unlikely to be stopped. This sort of laughter is characterized by its length — it can continue for longer than you think you can bear, and the laugh contains major changes in pitch (音調(diào)) with a very high top note. And then there's social laughter, the sort of laugh people give when they want to accept something. This polite laughter is characterized by less obvious pitch changes. Psychologists have established that people are good at telling the difference between these two different sorts of laughter. However, the ability to distinguish them is something we learn. A child cannot tell what is voluntary and what is social laughter.
It is proved that the ability to understand laughter seems to be particularly relevant in happily married couples. Studies have shown that couples with lasting happy marriages use laughter as a way of dealing with the everyday stresses of married life. So the couple that laughs together, stays together.
Laughter has developed to create and maintain the social groups that are necessary for us to advance, and it helps us to feel better by providing a way out for many of the difficult emotions that are unavoidable when living with other people. In fact, it's a kind of glue that holds human societies together.
12．In what situation are people easier to laugh
A．Being alone.
B．Hearing a really funny joke.
C．Staying with their beloved pets.
D．Listening to others' infectious laughter.
13．Which of the following is a kind of involuntary laughter
A．Polite laughter. B．Social laughter.
C．High-pitched laughter. D．Controllable laughter.
14．What is the connection between laughter and marriage
A．No laughter, no marriage.
B．More laughter, happier marriage.
C．Laughter comes before marriage.
D．Laughter is easy, while marriage is difficult.
15．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning laughter
A．Laughter is a necessity for human survival.
B．Laughter is a good way to deal with negative emotions.
C．Laughter helps people make more contributions to the society.
D．Laughter was created by some social groups to avoid bad emotions.

When 89-year-old Li Jinrong heard someone calling her "mom" at an event in Wuhan, Hubei Province, she immediately rose from her seat. s A foreign woman ran toward her before hugging her tightly and saying, "Mom, mom. "
The woman, Bouammouch Kheira, is from Algeria. She underwent a total nasal reconstruction operation（全鼻再造手術(shù)）—the first of its kind in Africa—that was done by Li and other members of a Chinese medical team 40 years ago. In 1984, Li joined the 11th Chinese medical aid mission to Algeria. She helped a hospital in the North African country carry out oral（口腔的） and facial operations. In 1985, 12-year-old Kheira visited the hospital to seek treatment for a stomach infection. Doctor Li happened to notice Kheira's badly disfigured（容貌受損的） nose, the tip of which was bitten off by a donkey when she was just 2 years old.
"Had she not been disfigured, she would have grown up to be a great beauty," Li said. Then she devised a detailed treatment plan and decided to transplant the skin from one of Kheira's upper arms to reconstruct her nose, because it matched her facial skin tone and would not leave noticeable scars.
Though scared at first, Li's sincere attitude and caring words reminded her of her mother and gave her hope. The reconstruction of Kheira's nose required four operations over a period of two months. After its perfect completion, Kheira ran from ward（病房） to ward, telling everyone that she now had a nose, a gift from her "Chinese mother".
Kheira travelled 10,000 kilometers from Algeria to Wuhan. "This is my first visit to China, but I don't feel the journey was hard at all, because I am so excited to meet Professor Li, my Chinese mother," Kheira added, "Without my Chinese mother, my life would be darker than death,"

（2024高一下·湖州期末）After hours of working, many people experience significant drops in energy and find themselves in desperate need of a recharge. But instead of grabbing a coffee, it may be more worthwhile to take a short sleep break known as a power nap.
A power nap can "provide the refreshment you need if you're struggling to stay alert or haven't had a good night's sleep," explains Rebecca Robbins, a sleep scientist. A power nap "gives people the chance to rest for a short period of time to boost workplace productivity (生產(chǎn)率),"she says, but they are only beneficial when they are done correctly.
How long should a power nap be Sleep experts say that an effective power nap should only last 20-30 minutes to increase alertness throughout the day. According to James Maas, a former professor and chair of psychology at Cornell University who invented the term "power nap" more than 50 years ago, "It's an opportunity to shut your eyes, breathe slowly and recharge."
For most people, 15 minutes should be enough to power through the rest of the work day. However, Maas warns that lengthier naps are counterproductive and even harmful. "Never nap for 60 minutes. If you power nap any time longer than 40 minutes, you're going to wake up feeling very weak and tired for another hour or so."
Shelby Harris, a clinical psychologist, adds that the best time to take your power nap is between 1 p. m. and 3 p. m. , because napping any later in the day "can interfere with your sleep at night."
In contrast to coffee, which is likely to "damage your sleep at night and only offer short term energy for about 30 minutes," Robbins says a power nap is a healthier alternative to improve workplace performance, strengthen memory and boost creativity.
Harris adds naps have long-term health benefits too, such as improving your mood and aiding in stress management. "Power naps can reduce accidents and mistakes while also improving attention, alertness, concentration and performance. They can even be used effectively to fight sleepy driving when a short nap is taken just before getting behind the wheel," she says.
23．What did James Maas suggest about a power nap
A．The best time to nap is from 1 p. m. to 3 p. m.
B．The longer you nap, the more refreshed you'll be.
C．It's better to be kept within 15 minutes.
D．Napping too long does more harm than good.
24．Good power naps have the following benefits except __________.
A．contributing to our refreshment. B．improving our memory and mood.
C．disturbing your sleep at night. D．helping effectively manage stress.
25．How does the author develop the passage
A．By giving definitions. B．By making comparisons.
C．By showing examples. D．By quoting from others.
26．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Tips on Taking Power Naps B．Ways to Get You Refreshed
C．The Benefits of a Power Nap D．Steps to Improve Your Sleep

People greet each other in various ways, such as saying "hello" in different languages or through physical actions like shaking hands, giving hugs, or exchanging kisses. Similarly, elephants have various greetings, as revealed by a recent study conducted on African elephants in Zimbabwe's Jafuta Reserve. "Female elephants of different family groups might have strong social bonds（紐帶）with each other, forming what we call bond groups," said Vesta Eleuteri of the University of Vienna, the lead writer of the study. "Earlier studies in the wild have reported that when these groups meet, the elephants perform special greetings to announce and strengthen their social bonds. "
The study identified around 20 specific movements related with elephant greetings, often accompanied by different sounds as well. Smell also plays a crucial role in greetings, with elephants exhibiting behaviors like emitting（排放）body waste. Besides, elephants make gestures（動作）meant to be seen, such as spreading their ears or displaying their behinds, and employ touching gestures involving touching other elephants. They actually show an understanding of what other elephants can see, using visual gestures when their partner is looking and touching gestures when they are not.
Similar greeting behavior has been observed in various animals, which helps manage social situations by reducing tension or confirming social bonds. The study observed both female and male elephants in the reserve, with female greetings closely matching those of wild elephants, while male greetings appeared different. Wild male elephants often don't form close connections with others but use their noses to touch the heads of other elephants, giving off a chemical called temporin containing important information.
Elephant greetings play an important part in communication and social bonding among these intelligent creatures. Through their gestures, sounds, and smells, elephants deliver important. information about their identity, physical state, and emotional well-being.
27．What do we know about elephant greetings from paragraph 1
A．They are performed mainly by male elephants.
B．They are used to show power within the group.
C．They include physical actions similar to humans'.

（2024高一下·衢州期末）There's comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool.
In the open air, the noises all demanded your attention: the lifeguard's whistle, the slapping of feet across the ground, the voices asking for different things. It reminded me of the school cafeteria, packed with kids: too loud to read a book in. But beneath the surface, things were quiet. The sounds that used to annoy me lost all their power. Instead, they mixed with the splashing of the water and the gentle blub-blub of air bubbles escaping my nose. All the noises worked together to create a symphony. Harmony.
Perhaps the best thing about the bottom of a swimming pool, though, was that at the bottom of a swimming pool, I was alone. I didn't have to worry about anyone splashing or kicking or making fun of me. They were all far, far away up on the surface. It was only me. Just me.
I used to wish I could live underwater. Mermaids (美人魚) didn't have to go to school. Mermaids didn't call other mermaids nerds (怪胎).
But once, when I came up for air, I spotted a girl my age at the other side of the pool. We locked eyes before I went back under, just for a second. I didn't think anything of it — girls like her usually didn't want to be seen around me — until I felt a soft tug on my ankle, and I spied her next to me. She actually wanted to talk to me. She wanted to be friends.
So we talked. And I found out that she liked Pokémon and Warrior Cats just like I did. And we competed to see who could make the biggest splash, and when it got dark and the lights came on, we explored the depths of the pool together.
I didn't spend so much time at the bottom of a swimming pool after that. How could I when there was so much waiting for me on the surface

（2024高一下·平陽期末）Different cultures have their unique celebrations of the calendar New Year's traditions. Now let's learn some of famous New Year's traditions around the world.
The Netherlands
Amsterdam hosts one of the world's largest street parties on New Year's Eve. If you attend, buy some oliebollen to eat at mid-night. It is usually believed that eating these deep fried oily balls wI'll drive away evil spirits in the New Year. Dam Square (the craziest), Nieuwmarkt, and Leidseplein host unofficial street parties with music, fireworks and beer tents. Amsterdam's celebration is not for the casual partier: Some attendants have compared it to a war zone!
Scotland
Celebrating Hogmanay, which stands for the last day of the year, is a big deal in Scotland. It is so grand that it often overshadows Christmas. Christmas was outlawed by the Church of Scotland for nearly four centuries, and it didn't make a comeback until 1958. Though the holiday has regained its popularity, the New Year Festival of Hogmanay still holds a sacred place in Scottish hearts.

One thing that many Americans can agree on, even in an era of deep political polarization(兩極分化), is that our country is in a moral free fall. In survey after survey, US adults of all ages, education levels, political or religious backgrounds say that people are less kind, honest, generous, and respectful than they used to be. So is our nation's moral foundation falling apart
Not necessarily. In fact, two psychologists, Columbia's Adam Mastroianni and Harvard's Daniel Gilbert, say that the widespread belief in moral decline(下降)is a misconception. They recently conducted a meta-analysis of all the major surveys that asked Americans about the state of moral values in this country and they found that US residents have been complaining about one another's declining morality for as long as researchers have been seeking their opinions on the matter. And yet when individual respondents are asked multiple times, over the span of a decade or more, to describe the level of politeness and kindness they observe in their fellow citizens, their descriptions of other people's attitudes and behaviors do not actually worsen at all.
Mastroianni and Gilbert, whose paper appears in the journal Nature, say the results of similar surveys conducted in dozens of other countries over the decades suggest that people all over the world are easy to be influenced by the misconception that their peers are less moral than they once were. They say that this misconception is likely explained by two well-established psychological phenomena acting together: that we tend to pay closer attention to negative rather than positive information about people's actions in the present day; and that we tend to selectively forget such negative impressions as the years roll on, leaving us with good memories for the past.
Mastroianni and Gilbert also say that their discovery has important social and political implications, especially given that, as one 2015 survey found, three-quarters of all Americans believe that addressing the moral breakdown of the country should be a high priority(優(yōu)先項)for the government. "The United States faces many well-documented problems, from climate change and terrorism to racial injustice and economic inequality — and yet, nowadays it is believed that the government should devote fewer resources to reversing an imaginary trend."
41．What is the function of the first paragraph
A．To provide a historical review of American society.
B．To present contrasting viewpoints on moral decline.
C．To introduce the topic of moral decline in American society.
D．To discuss the method of psychological research on moral decline.
42． What is the main argument presented by Mastroianni and Gilbert in their research
A．The morality of American society seems to be on a rapid rise.
B．American citizens' belief in declining morality is a false idea.
C．The moral breakdown has already been a long-term issue in America.
D．American society has realized its own misconception of moral decline.
43．According to the passage, what is the reason for the widespread belief in moral decline
A．Selective memory about previous impressions.
B．The mixed influence of psychological phenomena.
C．Negative descriptions of morality from peers.
D．Lack of government involvement in moral issues.
44．What does Mastroianni and Gilbert's research imply on social and political views
A．Americans should attach more importance to global issues.
B．Americans should help the government reverse the moral decline.
C．Government resources should be focused on addressing the moral decline.
D．Addressing the imaginary moral breakdown should not be a top choice.

"What we did at first was train them in recycling (回收) old clothes into mats (墊子) . The throwing away of old clothes is a significant issue, causing environmental harm. At our hand-me-down centre, we recycle these clothes into mats, providing a long-lasting solution to this problem. In doing so, they not only earn a living but also contribute to addressing the environmental challenges related to non-biodegradable waste," he says.
However, with changing times, Prashant realized that this training might not be a very smart job with good pay after a few years.
"In 2010, we started giving massage (按摩) training to blind people. Massage is an excellent job opportunity for sight challenged individuals because they have sharp sensory abilities. The training methods are simple yet effective, allowing both less- educated and well-educated individuals to learn massage scientifically. Through our course, students learn various massage techniques practically. As a result, they become experts in the field. Once they are trained, they can return to their native village or stay at the centre and earn at least Rs 500 per massage."
In 2021, the NGO came up with another branch of training. "We teach them various digital skills such as graphic design, video editing, and social media management. These skills are particularly suitable for those with locomotor disabilities. They use the labs at the NGO to practise their skill, do their work without having to move a lot and focus their energy more on creative thinking," he adds.
While Prashant and Harishchandra along with many volunteers have helped hundreds of people, Prashant now wishes to expand the model throughout Maharashtra. "The blind in our country are treated as second-class citizens. With Swadhaar, we are aiming to reduce this gap by presenting them with the right opportunities. We want to
help them become independent, and live the life they should have," says Prashant.
45．Compared to the recycling project, the massage training program is ____.
A．more challenging B．more rewarding
C．less scientific D．less practical

These days, the skies don't seem so inviting: Airfares are climbing. Passengers are puter systems, and entire airlines, are melting down. Any of those might be reason enough for some to stay off a plane. But for a small, yet growing, number of travelers, the problem with air travel goes way further. They are giving up
flying because of its effect on the climate.
"I choose to stay grounded because it aligns (一致) with what is true," said Dan Castrigano, 36, a former teacher who in 2020 signed a promise not to travel by air. "The climate is breaking down."
One Boeing 747 carrying 416 passengers from Heathrow Airport in London to Edinburgh produces the same carbon dioxide as 336 cars traveling the same distance, according to BBC Science Focus, a peer-reviewed magazine. That huge carbon footprint is leading many activists and scientists to issue cries to fly less, or not at all.
There is perhaps no country with more anti-flight activists than Sweden, where by 2020, 15, 000 people had signed a nationwide promise to travel without flying for at least one year. The nonprofit behind that movement, We Stay on the Ground, is now raising funds and hopes to get 100, 000 signatories in the next few years.
Swedes have coined a word, flygskam, to describe the shame associated with flying. We Stay on the Ground inspired the Flight Free movements in Britain and Australia, as well as Flight Free USA. There are other grass-roots movements, too: Stay Grounded, a global network of over 150 organizations promoting other means to travel, was founded in 2016 and has its headquarters in Austria; Byway, a British travel planning company founded during the Covid-19 lockdown, allows customers to plan flight-free routes across Europe.
Airlines are taking efforts to make flying greener, with promises to achieve "net zero" carbon emissions (排放) in the next three decades. Activists say that progress isn't coming fast enough and are pushing for frequent fliers to at least consider small changes, which they say could add up to big differences.
49．Who is the target audience of the passage
A．Airline workers. B．Government employees.
C．Frequent fliers. D．Tour guides.
50．Why does the writer mention Dan Castrigano in paragraph 2
A．To give an example. B．To share a story.
C．To present an issue. D．To express an opinion.
51．What can be implied from the passage
A．Flight shame goes global.
B．Swedes are proud to travel by plane.
C．People are trading wheels for wings.
D．British are leading in action to fly less.
52．What is the author's attitude towards the idea of giving up flying
A．Dissatisfied. B．Supportive. C．Worried. D．Confident.

Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse(逆向的)culture shock when returning ing back has been a tougher transition than expected. It's not just about transitioning back to home life; it's also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I'm the same person I was before I studied abroad.
This situation is especially strange with people who have known me for a long time, like my parents, who witnessed all my major life changes before this one. I didn't realize how much I'd changed until I interacted with them and close friends. Despite only being away for three and a half months, I quickly noticed the differences between who I was before and who I am now. Over the past few weeks at home, I've been wondering how to maintain the positive changes and qualities gained from my semester abroad.
I've realized that surroundings and situations greatly influence mindset, and keeping a certain mindset while losing its corresponding(相對應(yīng)的)environment is challenging. For instance, being in Madrid taught me to be more relaxed and stress-free. However, returning to Penn State with its demanding course load makes maintaining that mentality(心態(tài))difficult. I've come to realize the problem that perpetual stress about school isn't healthy, especially after experiencing a semester of travel, fun, and academic success. Therefore, I've decided to work hard and study as usual but occasionally give myself a break, and do what I can to avoid getting over-stressed about tests and assignments. This means I will put in effort when necessary in order to make sure I am always caught up or ahead of class material.
Coming home has been more challenging than expected, but I'm confident I'll get through it in the next few weeks. Nevertheless, I'm determined to maintain the important lessons I learned about myself and others in Madrid.
53．What was the author's biggest concern when returning home
A．Going back to his original self.
B．Adapting to new surroundings.
C．Experiencing culture shock.
D．Missing old acquaintances.
54．What did the author realize after returning home
A．He should make his family familiar with his positive changes.
B．He should change his mentality to care less about his study.
C．He should adapt his mindset to fit into the old learning environment.
D．He should apply himself to his study to stay ahead of class.
55．What does the underlined word "perpetual" in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Current. B．Improper. C．Unnecessary. D．Continuous.
56．What is the passage mainly about
A．The sufferings of reverse culture shock.
B．The reflections on personal growth.
C．The adaptations to new environments.
D．The success in academic performance.

Have you ever wondered about the universal layout （布局） of supermarkets Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle and fill your shopping cart without even realizing it.
Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly, who studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained there is a specific reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, "You'll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hopefully feel less guilty about buying junk food later on. " Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases.
There's also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. Shockingly, they move things around. Reeves explained, "They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they'll regularly move the products to different aisles to con fuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is employed across various retail chains. "
"Their little tricks always work on me," one regular shopper admits, "I walk in to get three things and end up spending $300; that's why I hate grocery shopping," he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. "That's why I always keep a shopping list on me," another shopper shared. "I've started having my groceries delivered. If I have to go to the store, I never grab a trolley. If I can't carry it, I'm not buying it," he added.
60．What is the purpose of the supermarket layout
A．To show the designer's wisdom.
B．To save consumers' shopping time.
C．To increase non-essential purchases.
D．To provide multiple goods for choice.
61．What would the store owner probably do to make more profits
A．Put the healthy food together.
B．Distribute junk food in different areas.
C．Place essential items before junk food.
D．Rearrange products in supermarkets regularly.
62．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Most shoppers are trapped in marketing tricks.
B．Shopping baskets are better than heavy trolleys.
C．Making lists can be a smart act for impulse buying.
D．Grocery delivery can help improve supermarket sales.
63．Where is this text most likely from
A．A business magazine. B．A psychology report.
C．A research paper. D．A shopping guide.

Lichens(地衣) cover as much as 8% of the planet's surface, an area larger than that covered by tropical rain-forests. They can be found growing on bark, rocks or walls; in woodlands, deserts or tundra.
Some lichens are familiar to the herbalists who find uses through the "Doctrine of Signatures"(形象學(xué)說). For example, species of Lobaria are used to treat lung diseases because of their lung-like appearance. Lichens have also been used for their chemical components. Lichens provide natural dye(染色) stuff in many traditional cultures around the world, including the famous Harris tweed woolens of Scotland. Lichens are also used in the production of perfumes. For example, "oak moss" was used as a component of several high quality French perfumes in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Lichens also provide many important ecosystem services. Lichens contribute to biodiversity—they are found in all biomes. Some lichens are pioneers, so they are often the first to occupy newly exposed surfaces. Lichens also contribute to nutrient cycling. In some old-growth forests, lichens contribute up to 50% of the nitrogen. Many animals use lichens. Up to 90% of reindeer's winter food consists of lichens, and other animals use lichens for nesting material or hiding places. Lichens can also inform us about the condition of our environment. Many lichens require very specific environmental conditions. For example, presence of certain lichens can be an indicator of climate change. Some lichens are sensitive to air pollution and will disappear when air quality is poor.
Lichens are important also because they are beautiful to look at. How colorful would the rocks and cliffs be in the Rocky Mountains without the reds, yellows and greens of the crust lichens Without these living creatures, our natural areas would look pretty boring and a little more lifeless.
67．How does the author introduce lichens in paragraph 1
A．By explaining the standard definition.
B．By describing the growing process.
C．By stating the wide range of coverage.
D．By showing the diverse species.
68．Which of the following functions are lichens least likely to perform
A．To treat lung disorders. B．To dye natural stuff.
C．To make perfumes. D．To remove chemicals.
69．Why are lichens important for assessing environmental conditions
A．They are sensitive to air quality.
B．They can survive in extreme weather.
C．They provide nesting material for birds.
D．They indicate old-growth conditions.
70．What's the structure of the passage
A． B．
C． D．

Thomas Taylor's original watercolor illustration for the first edition of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" published by Bloomsbury in 1997 is scheduled to be auctioned (拍賣)for June 26 in New York. The artwork is expected to bring in between $400,000 to $600,000, setting a record for any Harry Potter-related material ever offered at auction.
Illustrator Thomas Taylor was a 23-year-old recent art school graduate when he was hired by Bloomsbury to make a cover illustration for a fantasy children's book by then-unknown author J. K. Rowling. It was Taylor's first professional task, and he recalled being directed by Bloomsbury's editor to depict the scene — Harry approaching the Hogwarts Express at King's Cross Station. Despite having limited freedom for artistic expression, Taylor faithfully followed the instructions.
Taylor had the unique opportunity to read Rowling's early manuscript (手稿) on a train, making him one of the very first individuals to do so. The manuscript, only printed on one side, was missing Chapter 11, as the author was still making changes. Despite its incomplete state, Taylor found it to be a fascinating glimpse into the world of Harry Potter. Taylor revealed that he used the blank underside of each manuscript page for sketching. "And then I think I put the rest of it in the recycling bin," he said. "Of course now I really regret that."
But Taylor said at the beginning he had mixed feelings about this early, giant success. "Normally when you start out as an illustrator, you kind of hope that your first work will be a bit forgotten and then you'll develop and get better and better," Taylor told The Rowling Library. However, he said he's finally made peace with it ——in part because of how prized his Harry Potter book cover painting has become at auction.
71．What does the underlined word "depict" in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Discover. B．Illustrate. C．Set. D．Imagine.
72．What can we learn about Thomas Taylor
A．He found the manuscript absorbing.
B．He was famous when given the task.
C．He used the book pages for sketching.
D．He had complete freedom of creation.
73．How did Taylor originally feel about his early success
A．Joyful but uncertain. B．Cheerful and excited.
C．Anxious but grateful. D．Satisfied and confident.
74．What might be the best title for the passage
A．Thomas Taylor's Magic Illustrations
B．An Auction of Harry Potter Illustrations
C．The Fascinating Manuscript of Harry Potter
D．Thomas Taylor: Harry Potter's First Illustrator

If we are to believe some of the upsetting headlines about Al, barely anyone's job is safe. 32% of UK employees think AI could make their roles unnecessary, according to a research in 2023. Yet the same research found that 28% of workers believe AI could make their jobs easier. Meanwhile, many technologists claim that GenAI tools such as ChatGPT are more likely to help workers than replace them.
And so different industries are exploring it. International law firm Cleary Gottliebfor, for instance, uses GenAI to scan its databases and create a summary of its lawyers' relevant experience before meetings with a new client（客戶）. However, the firm says that the document produced by the AI won't be ready to send immediately.
However, without carefully assessing（評估）its possible side effects beforehand, companies that adopt（采用）a new AI tool risk distancing employees or even making their lives more difficult. Firms should therefore identify whether the tech they're interested in is likely to be a net benefit or not, according to Peter, assistant professor of AI at Leiden University. Actually, there are several other disadvantages that firms seeking to adopt it must avoid. In a banking conference, for instance, 15CIOs had all been keen to realize the huge productivity gains promised by GenAI. Three months later, these IT chiefs "hit a wall" when trust issues concerning data privacy and security arose. They were worried that the data they had been putting into the tools would make its way into their competitors' banks.
Dylan Morley, lead principal engineer at Asos, reports that measuring the impact of such tools is a topic of "great discussion" across the industry. But he adds that this is a more complex matter than simply adopting a tool and waiting for, say, a 10% efficiency gain. She argues that firms could be focusing on areas such as managing time spent in meetings, other than adopting AI tools if improving efficiency is indeed their main goal.
78．Why does the author list numbers in paragraph 1
A．To explain the upsetting fact about AI.
B．To introduce technologists' views on AI.
C．To prove the value of the research on AI.
D．To show different people's ideas about AI.
79．What can we learn from the example of Cleary Gottliebfor
A．The law firm lacks confidence in AI.
B．The Al can't summarize lawyers' experience.
C．The document produced by AI is of poor quality.
D．Further steps are needed before the document is used.
80．What does paragraph 3 focus on
A．The potential risks of AI.
B．The way to assess Al's effects.
C．The ongoing application of AI.
D．The difficulties employees face.
81．What can we infer from Dylan Morley's opinion
A．Firms should not use AI tools.
B．AI is not the only way to gain efficiency.
C．AI is a more complex tool than we think.
D．It's necessary to measure the impact of AI.

Humans have been growing food for about 12,000 years, but 50 years ago a civil engineer named Mel Bartholomew figured out a new way to do it that could eliminate a lot of tiring weeding（除草）and watering that went with it. He called it the Square Foot Garden（SFG）, and the book he wrote about it sold over
2.5million copies, becoming the best-selling gardening book of all time.
Upon his retirement in 1975, Bartholomew became interested in gardening, but the more he got into it, the more inefficient he found it to be. Gardening had long been practiced in rows, which Bartholemew found to he wasteful, and difficult to work. Using his engineering know-how, Bartholomew came up with a method of gardening that could be practiced in a tiny backyard or rooftop, and which required only 10 percent of the water of a row garden.
Bartholemew's view was that traditional gardening with its long rows in between wasted space, water, fertilizer（化肥）and work. In fact, his conclusion was that row gardens took up about 80 percent more space than needed. In order to maximize space, he began using raised beds, divided into a number of 12×12 inch squares, each square marked off with string or wood dividers. Each square was used for a specific vegetable and the plants were closely packed to make less space for weeds, which also accounted for its water and resource efficiency（效率）.
The SFG system is popular and reliable, but it has limitations. For instance, it can be expensive to set up, although using recyclable materials to build beds can help. In addition, it doesn't work well in dry climates because raised beds dry out more quickly. But whatever its limitations, SFG has gotten millions of people growing their own food who might otherwise have never known the joy of gardening.
82．What does the underlined word "eliminate" in paragraph 1 mean
A．Remove. B．Cause. C．Replace. D．Control.
83．What kind of person was Mel Bartholomew
A．Careful and patient. B．Friendly and outgoing.
C．Creative and resourceful. D．Responsible and helpful.
84．Which of the following best describes the advantage of SFG
A．It helps save space.
B．It uses less energy.
C．It benefits the environment.
D．It works in different climates.
85．What is the text mainly about
A．A bestselling book on gardening.
B．The history of traditional gardening.
C．A gardening method invented by an engineer.
D．The great joy brought by the Square Foot Garden.

（2024高一下·金華期末）Do you ever get that feeling that there aren't enough hours in the day That time is somehow racing away from you, and it is impossible to fit everything in. But then, you step outside into the countryside and suddenly everything seems slower, more relaxed, like time has somehow changed.
It's not just you — recent research showed nature can regulate our sense of time. For many of us, the combined demands of work, home and family mean that we are always feeling like we don't have enough time. Time poverty has also been exacerbated by digital technologies. Permanent (長久的，永久的) online connectivity lengthens working hours and can make it harder to switch off from the demands of friends· and family.
Recent researches suggest that the cure for our lack of time may lie in the natural world which may change how we experience time. These studies consistently showed that people report a sense of expanded time when they were in nature compared to when they were in an urban environment. For example, people are more likely to perceive (感知) a walk in the countryside as longer than a walk of the same length in the city. Nature seems to slow and expand our sense of time.
It's not just our sense of time in the moment which appears to be changed but also our sense of the future. Spending time in nature helps to shift our focus from the immediate moment towards our future needs. So rather than focusing on the stress of the demands on our time, nature helps us to see the bigger picture. This can help us prioritise (優(yōu)先處理) our actions to meet our long-term goals rather than living in a state of "just about keeping our
