When most kids go to the beach, they’re too focused on making sandcastles and splashing around to notice litter, but several years ago, for 7-year-old Cash Daniels, noticing a plastic straw sparked a lifelong passion for saving the planet.
Cash, who is now known as the “conservation kid”, has always loved nature．He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn’t sit back.
He started with cleanups along the river, something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors．In 2019, Cash, together with a Canadian conservationist, Ella Galaski-Rossen, started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids．Despite living in different countries, they managed to create educational videos on their YouTube channel．“We hope to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the U．S．and Canada,” Cash said．“We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean,” Cash said.
Cash was selected as one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards．He also earned the title of National Honoree, where he received a$5,000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his choice, and he became the first person to win the Youth Conservationist Award two years in a row from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation.
“I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean．Because if you are connected to the ocean-if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it,” he said．“This is my fun, and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.”
24．Which can replace the underlined words “sit back” in paragraph 2
A．Fall asleep． B．Lose heart． C．Turn a blind eye. D．Lend a hand.
25．What is the purpose of starting the Cleanup Kids
A．To recycle waste plastics.
B．To make instructive videos.
C．To spread marine knowledge.
D．To appeal for ocean protection.
26．Which of the following best describes Cash Daniels
A．Sympathetic and devoted．
B．Initiative and talented.
C．Ambitious and humorous．
D．Determined and modest.
27．What does Cash Daniels story imply
A．Passion fuels dreams.
B．Great minds think alike.
C．Helping others is of great fun.
D．Actions speak louder than words.
C
“Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere,” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature．In less than a minute, an image is returned tome showing what I’ve described.
Welcome to the world of AI image generation, where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts (提示)．But closer examination shows oddities．The face of the woman in my image has very odd features, and appears to be holding multiple books．And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s no creative satisfaction.
AI image generation could impact everything from film to graphic novels and more．Children’s illustrators were quick to raise concerns about the technology．They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be．Fundamentally, art is all about translating something that you feel internally into something that exists externally．Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece．And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process.
Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues．To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text．This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate the style of other artists, without their agreement．There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work, However, a human artist is also adding emotion and nuance (细微差别) into the mix．AI doesn’t do the same—it can only copy．
The increasing use of AI will also lead to a devaluing of the work of artists．There’s already a negative prejudice towards the creative industry．People will begin to think that their “work” is as valid as that created by someone who has spent a career making art．It’s nonsense, of course．You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but you are no match for professionals.
28．What does the writer think of his image creation
A．Exciting. B．Appealing C．Unsatisfying. D．Shocking.
29．What do children’s illustrators value most about art
A．The creating process. B．The final work.
C．Personal feelings. D．External forms.
30．What is Paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A．The styles of human artworks and AI ones.
B．Human artists’ influence on AI generators.
C．Different means used in human and AI art creation.
D．The drawbacks of drawing from existing art and text.
31．Which of the following best summarizes the last paragraph
A．Art is the mirror of life.
B．Rome is not built in a day.
C．No man can do two things at once.
D．Jack of all trades, master of none.
D
According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed (安装) has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals．But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them．
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them．Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds．The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil．
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment (InSPIRE)project．“They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land．One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫)．
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S．agricultural economy．Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use．Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms．
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction．“These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.
32．What do solar developers often ignore
A．The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B．The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C．The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D．The most recent advances in solar technology.
33．What does InSPIRE aim to do
A．Improve the productivity of local farms.
B．Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C．Make solar projects environmentally friendly.
D．Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
34．What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4
A．To conserve pollinators.
B．To restrict solar development.
C．To diversify the economy.
D．To ensure the supply of energy.
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay
B．Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C．InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture
D．Solar Farms: A New Development

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Experts often tell students to center their efforts on a narrow field to get a job after school． 36
One of the winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry was Danish scientist Morten Meldal, who is 68 years old and works at the University of Copenhagen．When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.”
37 They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful．But a study from professors at Michigan State University shows that is not always the case．The researchers looked into past Nobel Prize winners and their students． 38 some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests．They are, in a way, learning how to be creative．
Nobel winners are nine times more likely to have experience in working with wood, metal or in the arts than most scientists．The researchers also found that the Nobel winners have an open mind about their life experiences．Unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up their outside interests, 39
The researchers say that, even among people who do not win big prizes, those with many interests are often successful．They pointed to a 2022 report about students who study two major fields in college． 40 Double majors are often more creative and more interested in starting their own businesses than those who centered on only one study area.
A．That study plan is called a “double major”.
B．What we believe is of great benefits to them.
C．Meldal’s experience may come as a surprise to students.
D．They discovered that if they helped each other afterwards,
E．Nobel winners believe their hobbies are important to creativity.
F．They found that when the students of winners went on to win Nobel Prizes,
G．But recent research into Nobel Prize winners suggests that wider interests are important.

It took me a while to be 51 of what I’d achieved, because I had failed to reach my 52 goal, but I’ve learned it’s 53 to move the goalposts．I don’t agree with the idea of conquering (征服) somewhere．You treat places with 54 and hope they’ll allow you 55 passage.

When most kids go to the beach, they’re too focused on making sandcastles and splashing around to notice litter, but several years ago, for 7-year-old Cash Daniels, noticing a plastic straw sparked a lifelong passion for saving the planet.
Cash, who is now known as the “conservation kid”, has always loved nature．He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn’t sit back.
He started with cleanups along the river, something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors．In 2019, Cash, together with a Canadian conservationist, Ella Galaski-Rossen, started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids．Despite living in different countries, they managed to create educational videos on their YouTube channel．“We hope to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the U．S．and Canada,” Cash said．“We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean,” Cash said.
Cash was selected as one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards．He also earned the title of National Honoree, where he received a$5,000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his choice, and he became the first person to win the Youth Conservationist Award two years in a row from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation.
“I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean．Because if you are connected to the ocean-if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it,” he said．“This is my fun, and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.”
24．Which can replace the underlined words “sit back” in paragraph 2
A．Fall asleep． B．Lose heart． C．Turn a blind eye. D．Lend a hand.
25．What is the purpose of starting the Cleanup Kids
A．To recycle waste plastics.
B．To make instructive videos.
C．To spread marine knowledge.
D．To appeal for ocean protection.
26．Which of the following best describes Cash Daniels
A．Sympathetic and devoted．
B．Initiative and talented.
C．Ambitious and humorous．
D．Determined and modest.
27．What does Cash Daniels story imply
A．Passion fuels dreams.
B．Great minds think alike.
C．Helping others is of great fun.
D．Actions speak louder than words.
【答案】24．C25．D26．A 27．A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲的是Cash Daniels热爱大自然，他从7岁开始就对保护地球充满了热情，他先从清理河流沿岸开始，并将此发展成一项人们可以广泛参与的活动。他被评选为2021年美国十大青年志愿者之一。
24.词句猜测题。根据文章第二段划线词之前 (毕竟，他是在Chattanooga河边钓鱼长大的！但当他了解到80%来自陆地和河流的垃圾最终都进入了海洋后，他就不能再这么做了)”以及第三段开头 (他从清理河流开始，这件事很快就从家庭事务变成了志愿者和邻居的社区努力。)”可知当Cash Daniels看到了解到80%来自陆地和河流的垃圾最终都进入了海洋以后，他开始对河流岸边的垃圾进行了清理，最终这件事成为了人们可以广泛参与的活动，由此可以推测Cash Daniels对于最终都进入了海洋的垃圾没有置之不理，而是采取了积极的行动，所以划线词的意思与C项Turn a blind eye(视而不见)意思相近，故选C项。
25.细节理解题。根据文章第三段 (卡什说：“我们想让内陆各州的孩子和成年人了解他们的行为与水和海洋的关系。”)”可知the Cleanup Kids的目的是让内陆各州的孩子和成年人了解他们的行为与水和海洋的关系，即呼吁人们保护海洋。故选D项。
26.推理判断题。根据文章第一段 ( Cash现在被称为“环保孩子”，他一直热爱大自然。毕竟，他是在Chattanooga河边钓鱼长大的！但当他了解到80%来自陆地和河流的垃圾最终进入海洋时，他不能坐视不管。)”可知Cash热爱大自然，关心环境，所以他是富有同情心的，根据文章最后一段 (“我想环游世界，教别人，帮助他们感受到与海洋的联系。因为如果你和海洋有联系——如果你爱它和它的生物——你就会想要保护它，”他说。“这是我的乐趣，随着每一个新发现，它变得更加有趣。”)”可知Cash想要环游世界，教育别人，帮助他们感受到与海洋的联系，所以他是有奉献精神的，故选A项。
27.推理判断题。根据文章第一段 (当大多数孩子去海滩时，他们太专注于堆沙堡和溅水，而没有注意到垃圾，但几年前，对7岁的Cash来说，注意到一根塑料吸管激发了他毕生拯救地球的热情。)”以及文章最后一段 (“我想环游世界，教别人，帮助他们感受到与海洋的联系。因为如果你和海洋有联系——如果你爱它和它的生物——你就会想要保护它，”他说。“这是我的乐趣，随着每一个新发现，它变得更加有趣。”)”以及其他段落的内容可知一根塑料吸管激发了Cash拯救地球的热情而这种热情进而转化成了他的梦想，所以Cash 的故事暗示了激情可以点燃梦想。故选A项。
C
“Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere,” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature．In less than a minute, an image is returned tome showing what I’ve described.
Welcome to the world of AI image generation, where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts (提示)．But closer examination shows oddities．The face of the woman in my image has very odd features, and appears to be holding multiple books．And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s no creative satisfaction.
AI image generation could impact everything from film to graphic novels and more．Children’s illustrators were quick to raise concerns about the technology．They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be．Fundamentally, art is all about translating something that you feel internally into something that exists externally．Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece．And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process.
Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues．To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text．This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate the style of other artists, without their agreement．There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work, However, a human artist is also adding emotion and nuance (细微差别) into the mix．AI doesn’t do the same—it can only copy．
The increasing use of AI will also lead to a devaluing of the work of artists．There’s already a negative prejudice towards the creative industry．People will begin to think that their “work” is as valid as that created by someone who has spent a career making art．It’s nonsense, of course．You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but you are no match for professionals.
28．What does the writer think of his image creation
A．Exciting. B．Appealing C．Unsatisfying. D．Shocking.
29．What do children’s illustrators value most about art
A．The creating process. B．The final work.
C．Personal feelings. D．External forms.
30．What is Paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A．The styles of human artworks and AI ones.
B．Human artists’ influence on AI generators.
C．Different means used in human and AI art creation.
D．The drawbacks of drawing from existing art and text.
31．Which of the following best summarizes the last paragraph
A．Art is the mirror of life.
B．Rome is not built in a day.
C．No man can do two things at once.
D．Jack of all trades, master of none.
【答案】28．C 29．A 30．C 31．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了儿童插画家的观点：人工智能创造的艺术不是真正的艺术。
28.推理判断题。根据第二段中“But closer examination shows oddities, The face of the woman in my image has very odd features, and appears to be holding multiple books．And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s no creative satisfaction．(但仔细观察会发现一些奇怪的地方，我脑海中那个女人的脸有非常奇怪的特征，似乎拿着多本书。而且，虽然看到图像出现时最初会感到兴奋，但没有创造性的满足感。)”可知，作者对他的图像创作不满意，故选C项。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Fundamentally, art is all about translating something that you feel internally into something that exists externally．Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the finAIpiece．And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process．(从根本上说，艺术就是将你内在感受到的东西转化为外在存在的东西。无论采取何种形式，真正的艺术都关乎创作过程，而不是最终作品。简单地按下按钮来生成图像并不是一个创造性的过程。)”可知，儿童插画家最看重艺术创作过程，因为艺术的核心是将内在感受转化为外在存在，真正的艺术更多地关注创作过程而不是最终作品，故选A项。
30.主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues．To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text．This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate the style of other artists, without their agreement．There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work, However, a human artist is also adding emotion and nuance (细微差别) into the mix．AI doesn’t do the same—it can only copy．(除了创造力之外，还有更深层次的问题。为了从提示创建图像，AI生成器依赖于现有艺术和文本的数据库。这可能导致在未经其他艺术家同意的情况下故意模仿其他艺术家风格的图像。有一种观点认为，在受到他人作品的影响时，人工智能发电机的工作方式与人类没有什么不同，但是，人类艺术家也在混合中添加了情感和细微差别。人工智能不会做同样的事情——它只能复制。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了人类和人工智能艺术创作中使用的不同手段，故选C项。
31.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The increasing use of AI will also lead to a devaluing of the work of artists．There’s already a negative prejudice towards the creative industry．People will begin to think that their “work” is as valid as that created by someone who has spent a career making art．It’s nonsense, of course．You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but you are no match for professionals．(人工智能的使用越来越多也会导致艺术家作品贬值。对创意产业已经存在负面偏见。人们会开始认为他们的“作品”与那些以艺术创作为职业的人所创作的作品一样有效。当然，这是无稽之谈。你可以用手机给你的女儿拍一张漂亮的照片，但你不是专业人士的对手。)”可知人工智能的使用会使艺术家的作品贬值。人们会认为他们用 AI 创作的作品和以艺术创作为职业的人的作品有同样的价值。作者认为这是错误的，在最后一句中，作者认为尽管普通人可以创作出漂亮的作品，也比不上专业人士。作者暗示艺术创作需要经过长期的训练。A．Art is the mirror of life．(艺术是生活的镜子) B．Rome is not built in a day．(罗马不是一日建成的。意指任何伟大的事物都需要时间和耐心来建立。) C．No man can do two things at once．(一心不可二用。) D．Jack of all trades, master of none．(百事皆通，一样不精。)，故选B项。
D
According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed (安装) has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals．But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them．
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them．Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds．The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil．
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment (InSPIRE)project．“They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land．One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫)．
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S．agricultural economy．Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use．Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms．
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction．“These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.
32．What do solar developers often ignore
A．The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B．The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C．The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D．The most recent advances in solar technology.
33．What does InSPIRE aim to do
A．Improve the productivity of local farms.
B．Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C．Make solar projects environmentally friendly.
D．Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
34．What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4
A．To conserve pollinators.
B．To restrict solar development.
C．To diversify the economy.
D．To ensure the supply of energy.
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay
B．Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C．InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture
D．Solar Farms: A New Development
【答案】32．B33．C34．A35．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是用一种更加友好的方式建立一种新型的太阳能农场，这种新型的农场更有利于保护各种传粉昆虫，从而促进农业的发展。
32.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds．The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.(通常，他们最终会用小石头填满该地区，并使用化学物质来控制杂草。结果是，许多社区，特别是在农业地区，将太阳能农场视为土壤的破坏者。)”可知，太阳能开发者采用不环保的方式处理太阳能板安装后产生的问题，导致人们把太阳能农场看作是土壤的破坏者，由此可以推断，开发者在安装太阳能板后忽略了其带来的负面影响。故选B项。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.(InSPIRE正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的实用方法，其重点是以对土地更友好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场。)”可知，InSPIRE采用有好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场，也就是使得太阳能农场更加环保。故选C项。
34.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.(超过28个州通过了与传粉媒介栖息地保护和农药使用有关的法律。)”可知，这些法律都是与保护传粉者栖息地和农药使用相关，所以这些法律的目的是保护授粉者。故选A项。
35.主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.(在过去的几年里，许多太阳能农场开发商将太阳能电池板下的空间改造成各种传粉媒介的庇护所，从而改善了土壤并减少了碳排放。)”可知，现在的太阳能农场在过去的几年里已经得到了很大的发展，更重要的是太阳能农场也变得更加的环保，这将是未来发展农业的新趋势，再结合全文对太阳农场的发展过程的介绍可以判断，本文主题是介绍太阳能农场。故选D项。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Experts often tell students to center their efforts on a narrow field to get a job after school． 36
One of the winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry was Danish scientist Morten Meldal, who is 68 years old and works at the University of Copenhagen．When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.”
37 They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful．But a study from professors at Michigan State University shows that is not always the case．The researchers looked into past Nobel Prize winners and their students． 38 some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests．They are, in a way, learning how to be creative．
Nobel winners are nine times more likely to have experience in working with wood, metal or in the arts than most scientists．The researchers also found that the Nobel winners have an open mind about their life experiences．Unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up their outside interests, 39
The researchers say that, even among people who do not win big prizes, those with many interests are often successful．They pointed to a 2022 report about students who study two major fields in college． 40 Double majors are often more creative and more interested in starting their own businesses than those who centered on only one study area.
A．That study plan is called a “double major”.
B．What we believe is of great benefits to them.
C．Meldal’s experience may come as a surprise to students.
D．They discovered that if they helped each other afterwards,
E．Nobel winners believe their hobbies are important to creativity.
F．They found that when the students of winners went on to win Nobel Prizes,
G．But recent research into Nobel Prize winners suggests that wider interests are important.
【答案】36．G37．C38．F39．E40．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项针对诺贝尔奖获得者的研究发现，这些获奖者通常有多个领域的知识，广博的知识使他们在工作中能用不同的角度和方法思考问题。
36.根据上文“Experts often tell students to center their efforts on a narrow field to get a job after school.(专家们经常告诉学生们，毕业后要把精力集中在一个狭窄的领域找工作)”及下文“When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.”(在描述自己的职业生涯时，梅尔达尔说，他最初是一名工程师，但后来改行做化学，因为他“想了解这个世界”)”可知，专家们经常告诉学生们要把精力集中在一个狭窄的领域找工作，但是一些诺贝尔获奖者却做过不同的工作。由此可知，G．But recent research into Nobel Prize winners suggests that wider interests are important.(但最近对诺贝尔奖得主的研究表明，更广泛的兴趣很重要)能够承上启下，符合语境。故选G。
37.根据上文“When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.”(在描述自己的职业生涯时，梅尔达尔说，他最初是一名工程师，但后来改行做化学，因为他“想了解这个世界”)”可知，上文讲述了梅尔达尔的经历。下文“They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful.(他们可能认为他们必须把他们的工作和学校生活集中在一个领域才能成功)”说明梅尔达尔的经历和他们认为的成功经验是不一样的。由此可知，C．Meldal’s experience may come as a surprise to students.(梅尔达尔的经历可能会让学生们感到惊讶)能够承上启下，符合语境。故选C。
38.根据上文“The researchers looked into past Nobel Prize winners and their students.(研究人员调查了过去的诺贝尔奖得主和他们的学生)”及下文“some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests.(他们从老师那里学到的一些东西是如何过一种有多种兴趣的生活)”可知，此处在讲述过去的诺贝尔奖得主对他们的学生的影响。由此可知，F．They found that when the students of winners went on to win Nobel Prizes,(他们发现，当获奖者的学生后来获得诺贝尔奖时)能够承上启下，符合语境。其中students是关键词。故选F。
39.根据上文“Nobel winners are nine times more likely to have experience in working with wood, metal or in the arts than most scientists．The researchers also found that the Nobel winners have an open mind about their life experiences．Unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up their outside interests,(诺贝尔奖得主在与木材、金属或艺术打交道方面的经验是大多数科学家的九倍。研究人员还发现，诺贝尔奖获得者对自己的生活经历持开放态度。不像许多人花很长时间在工作上，放弃他们的业余爱好)”可知，诺贝尔奖获得者兴趣广泛，而且不会放弃他们的业余爱好。由此可知，E．Nobel winners believe their hobbies are important to creativity.(诺贝尔奖得主认为他们的爱好对创造力很重要)能够衔接上文，符合语境。其中hobbies对应上文中的outside interests。故选E。
40.根据上文“They pointed to a 2022 report about students who study two major fields in college.(他们指出，2022年的一份报告是关于在大学里学习两个专业的学生的)”及下文“Double majors are often more creative and more interested in starting their own businesses than those who centered on only one study area.(双学位的学生往往比那些只专注于一个研究领域的学生更有创造力，对创业更感兴趣)”可知，此处在讲述双学位的问题。由此可知，A．That study plan is called a “double major”.(那个学习计划叫做“双学位”)能够承上启下，符合语境。其中double major是关键词。故选A。

I only took 44 ．I didn’t even take a hairbrush．The first few days were 45 ．The winds were about 60 mph, and my sled weighed 120 kg．Even if the visibility is good, you can’t 46 much — it’s a white horizon．I was on the move for 13 to 15 hours a day.
Then, I found the conditions to be much worse．There was more sastrugi (雪脊) and it felt colder．The last 40 hours were really hard．I 47 about 14 times every two hours．As a result, I fell behind 48 ．In the end, I 49 922 miles and fell more than 100 miles short of my goal．Towards the end of my trip, a helicopter flew to pick me up．The 50 I felt when I saw the dot in the distance was unbelievable.
It took me a while to be 51 of what I’d achieved, because I had failed to reach my 52 goal, but I’ve learned it’s 53 to move the goalposts．I don’t agree with the idea of conquering (征服) somewhere．You treat places with 54 and hope they’ll allow you 55 passage.
