Hidden Gems: Underrated National Parks Worth Exploring
Many travelers flock to popular national parks like Yellowstone for their family vacations or adventurous getaways. However, there are some lesser-known gems that often go unnoticed despite their remarkable beauty and attractions.
Isle Royale National Park
Nestled in the heart of Lake Superior, Isle Royale requires a bit of effort to reach, but the journey is rewarded with breathtaking scenery. Accessible only by daily ferries, this park sees far fewer visitors compared to larger destinations like Yellowstone. Hikers are treated to sightings of wildlife such as wolves along the park's picturesque trails.
Dry Tortugas National Park
Situated 68 miles southwest of the Florida Keys, the Dry Tortugas is a secluded(偏僻的) island park accessible only by boat or plane. Despite its small size, it boasts rich history, abundant marine life, and stunning coral reefs. At its center stands Fort Jefferson, the largest masonry structure in the Western Hemisphere.
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
Covering over 13.2 million acres, Wrangell-St Elias National Park is the largest in the entire U.S. park system. Remote and largely undeveloped, this park challenges visitors with limited access—only two roads lead into it. However, those who venture here are rewarded with a profound connection to nature unparalleled elsewhere.
Big Bend National Park
For travelers seeking a truly rugged (崎岖的) experience, Big Bend National Park is a must-visit destination. Renowned for its whitewater rafting, camping, and hiking opportunities, this park can be excessively hot during the summer months, deterring many tourists.
These hidden gems offer unique experiences and breathtaking landscapes, making them worthy contenders for any adventurer's bucket list.
21. Why does Isle Royale National Park receive fewer visitors
A. It is located in a remote area and is difficult to reach.
B. It lacks wildlife and natural landscapes.
C. It has no historical or cultural significance.
D. Its climate is extremely hot.
22. What is Dry Tortugas National Park renowned for
A. Its white sand beaches. B. Its ancient ruins.
C. Its abundant marine life and coral reefs. D. Its mountainous landscapes.
23. Which national park is particularly notable for its vast size and profound connection to nature

I started a “question of the day” section in a family text group. We’d talk about everything from movies to politics. But despite several warnings from loved ones that some of my responses were judgmental and that I was too quick to attack an opinion, I all but killed that group text. It had a good 12 people in it. We’d shared laughs, encouragement, and funny memes (表情包). It took only one conversation — which I was in the middle of — to end it.
I realized that I had a problem. The medium for my problem is the smartphone. Before smartphones enabled instant communication, people talked on the telephone. In person, you could cut in a “What do you mean by that ” to correct a misunderstanding before it got out of hand. Don’t get me wrong: I love a good group text. It makes me feel connected to people in a way that I just can’t seem to anymore, now that I have a wife and kids.
I’m learning, but I had a relapse (复发) recently. I joined a new text group. I introduced my “question of the day” feature. I fooled myself into thinking that I was encouraging a healthy debate on current events. No. Others in the group saw it as me trying to prove that my way was the right way. Then I made the mistake of sharing some personal information that one friend had told me during a phone conversation. I thought everyone knew. Then this friend started referring to me as a snitch — not terms of kind word. So I asked him about it — in person. That’s when he told me I’d shared sensitive information he hadn’t told anyone else. I apologized plentifully and came away from the conversation more determined to slow down my texts.
My new resolve seems to be working. You should be pleased to know that I have avoided making a few points that I was tempted (鼓动) to make in individual and group texts. In some cases, I didn’t even respond. I haven’t lost any more connections by doing this.
24．How does the author introduce the topic
A．By making judgments on politics. B．By responding to some text messages.
C．By presenting a personal experience. D．By starting a funny conversation.
25．What problem does the author have in digital communication
A．Ignoring the need to listen to others. B．Making quick and sharp responses.
C．Failing to express himself timely. D．Focusing on the issues of his own.
26．Why was the author attacked by his friend in the text group
A．He gave away the privacy of his friend.
B．He always made mistakes on current events.
C．He made a fool of himself in chatting.
D．He liked enquiring personal information.
27．What does the author learn from his experience
A．Hurry makes waste. B．Understanding each other is vital.
C．Sometimes fast is just too fast. D．Trust is the bridge of communication.
C
We learn about the world through the knowledge accumulated over thousands of years. standing on the shoulders of great men, we don’t have to experience endless trial and error, just as the wheels do not have to be reinvented each time to run a car. But where does our ability to learn from others come from
A study led by Markus Paulus, professor at Loyola Marymount University, shows that the ability has its roots in earliest childhood. “It’s generally assumed that children’s ability to imitate (模仿) is inborn, but according to our observation, children imitate because they themselves are imitated by caregivers. This interaction enables a cultural transfer of knowledge, which, through generations’ efforts, consequently leads to the development of human beings,” says Markus Paulus.
In this research, Paulus recorded the interaction between mother and child over several months. The babies came into the lab for the first time at the age of6 months , while their final visit was when they were18 months old. As they engaged in various play situations , the interactions and imitations of mother and child were analyzed. The long-term study showed that the more sensitive a mother was in her interactions with her six- month-old child and the more often she imitated the baby, the greater the child’s overall ability was at the age of18 months.
Paulus’ research shows that mutual imitation is the keystone of knowledge transfer , through which children successfully learn various skills, such as how to use objects , waving and acquisition of language. “This interaction is the nucleus of learning and, finally, gives rise to evolutionary success of human,” says Paulus.
“Cultural learning is an essential part of human evolution, and it is rooted in the imitation of others, particularly our caregivers during our earliest childhood,” says Paulus. “Through this, we learn from each other and pass on knowledge to the next generation, so certain actions or techniques do not have to be constantly invented again. ”
28．Why does the author mention the example of wheels
A．To praise the invention of car wheels. B．To describe the process of trial and error.
C．To emphasize the necessity of new tools. D．To show the importance of prior knowledge.
29．What can we learn about Paulus’ research
A．Children’s imitation was recorded by mothers.
B．Sensitive mothers encouraged children’s imitation.
C．Children’s ability was analyzed through interaction.
D．Effective interaction promoted children’s development.
30．What does the underlined word “nucleus” mean in paragraph 4
A．Core. B．Result. C．Aim. D．Content.
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Why does Evolution Matter B．How to Interact with Children
C．Imitation: The Engine of Evolution D．Cultural Learning: The Root of Imitation
D
A new study reveals that pigeons can tackle some problems just like artificial intelligence, enabling them to solve difficult tasks that might challenge humans. Previous research has theorized that pigeons employ a problem-solving strategy, involving a trial-and- error approach, which is similar to the approach used in AI models but differs from humans’ reliance on selective attention and rule use. To examine it, Brandon Turner, a psychology professor at the Ohio State University, and his colleagues conducted the new study.
In the study, the pigeons were presented with various visual images, including lines of different widths and angles, and different types of rings. The pigeons had to peck (啄) a button on the right or left to indicate the category to which the image belonged. If they got it correct, they received food; if they were wrong, they received nothing. Results showed that, through trial and error, the pigeons improved their accuracy in categorization tasks, increasing their correct choices from about 55% to 95%.
Researchers believed pigeons used associative learning, which is linking two phenomena with each other. For example, it is easy to understand the link. between “water” and “wet”. “Associative learning is frequently assumed to be far too primitive to. explain complex visual categorization like what we saw the pigeons do,” Turner said. But that’s exactly what the researchers found.
The researchers’ AI model tackled the same tasks using just the two simple mechanisms that pigeons were assumed to use: associative learning and error correction. And, like the pigeons, the AI model learned to make the right predictions to significantly increase the number of correct answers. For humans, the challenge when given tasks like those given to pigeons is that they would try to come up with rules that could make the task easier. But in this case, there were no rules, which upsets humans.
What’s interesting, though, is that pigeons use this method of learning that is very similar to AI designed by humans, Turner said. “We celebrate how smart we are that we designed artificial intelligence: at the same time, we regard pigeons as not clever animals,” he said.
32．What is the purpose of the new study
A．To test a theory. B．To evaluate a model.
C．To employ a strategy. D．To involve an approach.
33．What were the pigeons expected to do in the experiment
A．Draw circles. B．Correct errors. C．Copy gestures. D．Identify images.
34．What do pigeons and AI have in common according to the study
A．They are of equal intelligence. B．They are good at making rules.
C．They respond rapidly to orders from humans. D．They employ simple ways to get things done.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Pigeons’ trial-and-error method is revealed B．Pigeons outperform humans in tough tasks
C．“Not smart” pigeons may be as smart as AI D．AI models after pigeons’ learning approach

Children are naturally curious beings, but getting them to study something they aren’t interested in can be a difficult task. Teachers often find themselves trying to reward in the 41 of stars or threat of punishment. But what if rewards and threats aren’t the 42
Natural curiosity is sometimes referred to as “internal motivation”. Studies have found that children who see learning as 43 and important are better at it. And it’s easy to understand why — it’s difficult to study something we aren’t 44 .
External motivation, things like rewards and punishment, does have its 45 too. Motives for achieving good grades or fear of being punished have been 46 to benefit older students. However, it seems that at an early age, it doesn’t have as much effect. So for this group, how can we stimulate that 47
According to some experts, the key is to 48 some degree of freedom. Let the child see their learning as their 49 will. If you want to teach a child to read, let them choose which book they use. Whether it’s a comic book or classic literature — the aim of stimulating their desire for reading is still 50 . Likewise, 51 a relationship with them as learners — listen to their negative feelings. Explain why an activity is valuable, even if it isn’t 52 fun.
So it seems that the most 53 way of motivating children, especially the young ones, might 54 stimulating that internal motivation. Maybe it’s time to release them from the reigns of threats and rewards, and give them a bit more 55 of how they learn.

One of the most endangered animals in the world is the Siberian tiger, 56 (know) as the Northeast Tiger in China. There are less than 500 of these beautiful animals still living in the wild. The Siberian tiger is the largest of all tigers. 57 adult male can grow up to 3.3 meters in 58 (long) and weigh as much as 300 kilograms.
Long ago, Siberian tigers were all over Northeast Asia and Russian Far East. 59 , today they are found mainly along the Chinese-Russian border and 60 (possible) in North Korea. The main reason for their decrease in numbers is the disappearance of their natural habitat. Fortunately, steps 61 (take) to save this magnificent creature in recent years and as a consequence numbers are 62 the rise.
There is also a fairly large population of Siberian tigers in zoos, some of 63 are expected to be reintroduced to the wild. Of course, they would need to learn how to hunt and take care of 64 (they), and this is easier said than done. Another big issue is the problem of space.

For many, an act of kindness is its own reward. But Eva Hachey found her selflessness answered in ways she could never have imagined.
For weeks, Eva Hachey had imagined adopting a golden Chihuahua with a white spot on its forehead. And there he was, at her local SPCA in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The dog had been abused by his previous owners and was timid. “He’d come to me, then back away and growl, then come back to me,” Hachey said. “After 15 minutes, the attendant picked him up and put him in my lap. He started giving me kisses. He stole my heart in that moment.” She adopted the ten-month-old puppy on the spot and named him Bruno.
Bruno lived happily with Hachey and her 35-year-old daughter, Angel Hutchinson, for five months. Then, on the evening of September 26, 2016, Hachey, 52 at the time, returned home as usual at 8 p. m. from her job as a chiropractic assistant and office manager. And as usual, she ate supper in front of the TV in the living room. Around 10: 30, a friend called, just as Bruno went into Hutchinson’s room to go to sleep for the night. Hachey and her friend chatted a bit, and as Hachey hung up, she noticed the time was 11: 08.
“The next thing I remember was a male voice saying, ‘Eva, Eva, wake up.’ It was an emergency doctor,” said Hachey. “I looked around, and the room was just full of people. And I said, ‘What are you doing in my house ’”
What they were doing was saving her life. By the time Hachey had hung up with her friend, Hutchinson was fast asleep in her bedroom and Bruno was in his usual spot next to her under the blankets. Hachey believed Bruno heard something odd then and possibly went to the living room to investigate.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Unexpectedly, Bruno ran back to the bedroom and tried every means to awaken Hutchinson.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A year later, Hachey finally fully recovered.

B．To visit children’s skateboard camps.
C．To take part in a skateboard advertisement.
【答案】14．B 15．C 16．A 17．B
【原文】W: Blaine, when did you start skateboarding
M: I got my first skateboard at eight, I wanted to join the skateboard club at my local park, but you had to be at least twelve. My cousin was good at doing jumps, but he was not interested in teaching kids like me. So I watched a lot of skateboarding videos and practised all the moves.
W: Where is the best place for skateboarding
M: Well, for freestyle boarding, which doesn’t need a skate park. Any smooth, flat ground like a basketball court or a square will do. The place I most often go to is the park that goes along the beach.
W: Then what do you like to do to stay fit
M: I used to cycle or jog twice a week. That wasn’t keeping me fit enough though. Now I’ve joined the gym to spend time swimming.
W: Do you have any plans for the future
M: I’ll miss a big competition as I’m recovering from an ankle injury. I’ve been asked to advertise a new skateboard, but that’ll have to wait until I get back from the USA. First, I’m going there to see skateboard camp for children.

【答案】18．B 19．C 20．B
【原文】M: Today I want to talk about the importance of being prepared. There is a famous saying that goes: “If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail.” It’s famous because it is so true. Let me share with you a story that happened to me recently that proves this. Over the summer, I had to get the main bedroom of my house rebuilt. Last week, I organized for a building examination for 11 o’clock on Monday. Well, at 10:55, I was still in the shower. I had forgotten all about it! When the examiner knocked on the door, I rushed out of the shower. However, I hadn’t taken the time to upgrade all the paperwork. I was totally unprepared — not to mention completely embarrassed! By 11:05, the examiner had left. He couldn’t wait around for me to get ready as he was scheduled for another job somewhere else. I made him angry by wasting his time. Unfortunately, I had to book another appointment — and I had to pay twice! The point I am trying to make is, please, whatever you do in life, always be prepared!

Hidden Gems: Underrated National Parks Worth Exploring
Many travelers flock to popular national parks like Yellowstone for their family vacations or adventurous getaways. However, there are some lesser-known gems that often go unnoticed despite their remarkable beauty and attractions.
Isle Royale National Park
Nestled in the heart of Lake Superior, Isle Royale requires a bit of effort to reach, but the journey is rewarded with breathtaking scenery. Accessible only by daily ferries, this park sees far fewer visitors compared to larger destinations like Yellowstone. Hikers are treated to sightings of wildlife such as wolves along the park's picturesque trails.
Dry Tortugas National Park
Situated 68 miles southwest of the Florida Keys, the Dry Tortugas is a secluded(偏僻的) island park accessible only by boat or plane. Despite its small size, it boasts rich history, abundant marine life, and stunning coral reefs. At its center stands Fort Jefferson, the largest masonry structure in the Western Hemisphere.
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
Covering over 13.2 million acres, Wrangell-St Elias National Park is the largest in the entire U.S. park system. Remote and largely undeveloped, this park challenges visitors with limited access—only two roads lead into it. However, those who venture here are rewarded with a profound connection to nature unparalleled elsewhere.
Big Bend National Park
For travelers seeking a truly rugged (崎岖的) experience, Big Bend National Park is a must-visit destination. Renowned for its whitewater rafting, camping, and hiking opportunities, this park can be excessively hot during the summer months, deterring many tourists.
These hidden gems offer unique experiences and breathtaking landscapes, making them worthy contenders for any adventurer's bucket list.
21. Why does Isle Royale National Park receive fewer visitors
A. It is located in a remote area and is difficult to reach.
B. It lacks wildlife and natural landscapes.
C. It has no historical or cultural significance.
D. Its climate is extremely hot.
22. What is Dry Tortugas National Park renowned for
A. Its white sand beaches. B. Its ancient ruins.
C. Its abundant marine life and coral reefs. D. Its mountainous landscapes.
23. Which national park is particularly notable for its vast size and profound connection to nature
A. Isle Royale National Park B. Dry Tortugas National Park
C. Big Bend National Park D. Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
【答案】21．A 22．C 23．D
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。这篇文章主要介绍了美国几个著名国家公园的特点。作者首先提到了Isle Royale National Park，指出它位于苏必利尔湖中，需要乘坐渡轮才能到达，因此游客相对较少。接着介绍了Dry Tortugas National Park，强调了它丰富的海洋生物和壮丽的珊瑚礁。最后，提及了Wrangell-St Elias National Park，强调了其作为美国公园系统中最大的公园，以及其偏远、未开发的特点，给游客提供了与自然深刻连接的机会。
【211解析】 推断判断题。根据文章中的描述：“Isle Royale National Park, nestled in Lake Superior, can only be accessed by daily ferries, deterring many tourists compared to larger parks.” 可推断出，该公园位于苏必利尔湖中，只能通过每日渡轮才能进入，这相比较于更大的公园，使得许多游客望而却步。因此，答案选项A正确。
【22解析】 细节理解题。文章直接提到：“Dry Tortugas National Park is renowned for its rich marine life and stunning coral reefs, making it a notable attraction despite its small size.” 这清楚地说明了该公园以其丰富的海洋生物和令人惊叹的珊瑚礁而闻名，支持答案选项C为正确答案。
【23解析】 推断判断题。文章指出：“Wrangell-St Elias National Park is the largest in the entire U.S. park system, covering over 13.2 million acres. It is described as remote and largely undeveloped, offering visitors a profound connection to nature.” 这表明了其庞大的规模和偏远、未开发的特点为游客提供了与自然深刻连接的机会。因此，答案选项D正确。
B
I started a “question of the day” section in a family text group. We’d talk about everything from movies to politics. But despite several warnings from loved ones that some of my responses were judgmental and that I was too quick to attack an opinion, I all but killed that group text. It had a good 12 people in it. We’d shared laughs, encouragement, and funny memes (表情包). It took only one conversation — which I was in the middle of — to end it.
I realized that I had a problem. The medium for my problem is the smartphone. Before smartphones enabled instant communication, people talked on the telephone. In person, you could cut in a “What do you mean by that ” to correct a misunderstanding before it got out of hand. Don’t get me wrong: I love a good group text. It makes me feel connected to people in a way that I just can’t seem to anymore, now that I have a wife and kids.
I’m learning, but I had a relapse (复发) recently. I joined a new text group. I introduced my “question of the day” feature. I fooled myself into thinking that I was encouraging a healthy debate on current events. No. Others in the group saw it as me trying to prove that my way was the right way. Then I made the mistake of sharing some personal information that one friend had told me during a phone conversation. I thought everyone knew. Then this friend started referring to me as a snitch — not terms of kind word. So I asked him about it — in person. That’s when he told me I’d shared sensitive information he hadn’t told anyone else. I apologized plentifully and came away from the conversation more determined to slow down my texts.
My new resolve seems to be working. You should be pleased to know that I have avoided making a few points that I was tempted (鼓动) to make in individual and group texts. In some cases, I didn’t even respond. I haven’t lost any more connections by doing this.
24．How does the author introduce the topic
A．By making judgments on politics. B．By responding to some text messages.
C．By presenting a personal experience. D．By starting a funny conversation.
25．What problem does the author have in digital communication
A．Ignoring the need to listen to others. B．Making quick and sharp responses.
C．Failing to express himself timely. D．Focusing on the issues of his own.
26．Why was the author attacked by his friend in the text group
A．He gave away the privacy of his friend.
B．He always made mistakes on current events.
C．He made a fool of himself in chatting.
D．He liked enquiring personal information.
27．What does the author learn from his experience
A．Hurry makes waste. B．Understanding each other is vital.
C．Sometimes fast is just too fast. D．Trust is the bridge of communication.
【答案】24．C 25．B 26．A 27．C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过个人经历反思了智能手机和即时通讯带来的沟通问题，特别是在群聊中容易引发误解和冲突，了解到自己的不当行为对他人造成的影响，进而决定改变自己在短信交流中的方式，更加谨慎地对待信息分享和回应速度，以维护人际关系和促进有效的沟通。
24．推理判断题。根据第一段的“I started a “question of the day” section in a family text group. We’d talk about everything from movies to politics. But despite several warnings from loved ones that some of my responses were judgmental and that I was too quick to attack an opinion, I all but killed that group text.(我在一个家庭短信群里开了一个“每日问题”版块。我们无所不谈，从电影到政治。但是，尽管我的亲人多次警告我，说我的一些回复带有评判性，而且我太急于攻击别人的观点，我还是差点取消了那条群发短信。)”和第二段“I realized that I had a problem. The medium for my problem is the smartphone.(我意识到我有问题了。我的问题的媒介是智能手机。)”可知，作者通过个人经历引入了本文的主题。故选C。
25．细节理解题。根据第一段的“I was too quick to attack an opinion(我太急于反驳一个观点了)”和倒数第二段的“I apologized plentifully and came away from the conversation more determined to slow down my texts.(我再三道歉，然后离开了谈话，下定决心放慢我发短信的速度。)”可知，作者的问题是在群组讨论中，急于反驳他人的观点，对于分享信息不谨慎等，故选B。
26．推理判断题。结合第三段的“Then I made the mistake of sharing some personal information that one friend had told me during a phone conversation. I thought everyone knew. Then this friend started referring to me as a snitch — not terms of kind word.(然后我犯了一个错误，分享了一个朋友在电话中告诉我的一些个人信息。我以为每个人都知道。然后这个朋友开始说我是告密者——这可不是什么好话。)”可知，作者的一位朋友在群组中攻击作者，是因为作者在群里说出了他和朋友之间私下交流的内容，故选A。
27．推理判断题。根据第一段的“I was too quick to attack an opinion(我太急于反驳一个观点了)”和倒数第二段的“I apologized plentifully and came away from the conversation more determined to slow down my texts.(我再三道歉，然后离开了谈话，下定决心放慢我发短信的速度。)”可知，作者通过在一次家庭群聊中的经历意识到自己的问题在于急于反驳他人的观点，因此作者从他的经历中学到的是有时候就是太快了，故选C。
C
We learn about the world through the knowledge accumulated over thousands of years. standing on the shoulders of great men, we don’t have to experience endless trial and error, just as the wheels do not have to be reinvented each time to run a car. But where does our ability to learn from others come from
A study led by Markus Paulus, professor at Loyola Marymount University, shows that the ability has its roots in earliest childhood. “It’s generally assumed that children’s ability to imitate (模仿) is inborn, but according to our observation, children imitate because they themselves are imitated by caregivers. This interaction enables a cultural transfer of knowledge, which, through generations’ efforts, consequently leads to the development of human beings,” says Markus Paulus.
In this research, Paulus recorded the interaction between mother and child over several months. The babies came into the lab for the first time at the age of6 months , while their final visit was when they were18 months old. As they engaged in various play situations , the interactions and imitations of mother and child were analyzed. The long-term study showed that the more sensitive a mother was in her interactions with her six- month-old child and the more often she imitated the baby, the greater the child’s overall ability was at the age of18 months.
Paulus’ research shows that mutual imitation is the keystone of knowledge transfer , through which children successfully learn various skills, such as how to use objects , waving and acquisition of language. “This interaction is the nucleus of learning and, finally, gives rise to evolutionary success of human,” says Paulus.
“Cultural learning is an essential part of human evolution, and it is rooted in the imitation of others, particularly our caregivers during our earliest childhood,” says Paulus. “Through this, we learn from each other and pass on knowledge to the next generation, so certain actions or techniques do not have to be constantly invented again. ”
28．Why does the author mention the example of wheels
A．To praise the invention of car wheels. B．To describe the process of trial and error.
C．To emphasize the necessity of new tools. D．To show the importance of prior knowledge.
29．What can we learn about Paulus’ research
A．Children’s imitation was recorded by mothers.
B．Sensitive mothers encouraged children’s imitation.
C．Children’s ability was analyzed through interaction.
D．Effective interaction promoted children’s development.
30．What does the underlined word “nucleus” mean in paragraph 4
A．Core. B．Result. C．Aim. D．Content.
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Why does Evolution Matter B．How to Interact with Children
C．Imitation: The Engine of Evolution D．Cultural Learning: The Root of Imitation
【答案】28．D 29．D 30．A 31．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了模仿对于人际互动，学习和人类文明演进的重要性。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段“We learn about the world through the knowledge accumulated over thousands of years. standing on the shoulders of great men, we don’t have to experience endless trial and error, just as the wheels do not have to be reinvented each time to run a car. But where does our ability to learn from others come from (我们通过几千年积累的知识来了解世界。站在伟人的肩膀上，我们不必经历无尽的尝试和错误，就像汽车的轮子不必每次都重新发明一样。但是我们向别人学习的能力从何而来呢？)”和第二段“It’s generally assumed that children’s ability to imitate (模仿) is inborn, but according to our observation, children imitate because they themselves are imitated by caregivers. This interaction enables a cultural transfer of knowledge, which, through generations’ efforts, consequently leads to the development of human beings(人们通常认为孩子的模仿能力是天生的，但根据我们的观察，孩子模仿是因为他们自己被照顾者模仿。这种相互作用使知识的文化转移成为可能，通过几代人的努力，知识的文化转移最终导致了人类的发展)”可推知，作者提到轮子的例子是为了强调先前知识的重要性。正是站在巨人的肩膀上，我们不必再重新进行研究和试验。故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段“The long-term study showed that the more sensitive a mother was in her interactions with her six- month-old child and the more often she imitated the baby, the greater the child’s overall ability was at the age of18 months.(这项长期研究表明，母亲在与6个月大的孩子互动时越敏感，她模仿孩子的次数越多，孩子在18个月大时的整体能力就越强)”可知，Paulus的研究表明，妈妈越频繁地模仿孩子，孩子的发育水平越好。因此可知，有效的互动促进了孩子们的发展。故选D。
30．词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“of learning and, finally, gives rise to evolutionary success of human”可知，这种相互作用最终导致了人类进化的成功，说明是学习的核心，故划线词意思是“核心”。故选A。
31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段““Cultural learning is an essential part of human evolution, and it is rooted in the imitation of others, particularly our caregivers during our earliest childhood,” says Paulus. “Through this, we learn from each other and pass on knowledge to the next generation, so certain actions or techniques do not have to be constantly invented again.”(“文化学习是人类进化的重要组成部分，它植根于对他人的模仿，尤其是我们童年早期的照顾者，”保卢斯说。“通过这种方式，我们相互学习，并将知识传授给下一代，因此某些动作或技术不必不断地重新发明。”)”结合文章主要讲述了模仿在人类进化中的重要性，强调了模仿对于人类进化的推动作用。因此，最佳标题应该是“模仿：进化的引擎”。故选C。
D
A new study reveals that pigeons can tackle some problems just like artificial intelligence, enabling them to solve difficult tasks that might challenge humans. Previous research has theorized that pigeons employ a problem-solving strategy, involving a trial-and- error approach, which is similar to the approach used in AI models but differs from humans’ reliance on selective attention and rule use. To examine it, Brandon Turner, a psychology professor at the Ohio State University, and his colleagues conducted the new study.
In the study, the pigeons were presented with various visual images, including lines of different widths and angles, and different types of rings. The pigeons had to peck (啄) a button on the right or left to indicate the category to which the image belonged. If they got it correct, they received food; if they were wrong, they received nothing. Results showed that, through trial and error, the pigeons improved their accuracy in categorization tasks, increasing their correct choices from about 55% to 95%.
Researchers believed pigeons used associative learning, which is linking two phenomena with each other. For example, it is easy to understand the link. between “water” and “wet”. “Associative learning is frequently assumed to be far too primitive to. explain complex visual categorization like what we saw the pigeons do,” Turner said. But that’s exactly what the researchers found.
The researchers’ AI model tackled the same tasks using just the two simple mechanisms that pigeons were assumed to use: associative learning and error correction. And, like the pigeons, the AI model learned to make the right predictions to significantly increase the number of correct answers. For humans, the challenge when given tasks like those given to pigeons is that they would try to come up with rules that could make the task easier. But in this case, there were no rules, which upsets humans.
What’s interesting, though, is that pigeons use this method of learning that is very similar to AI designed by humans, Turner said. “We celebrate how smart we are that we designed artificial intelligence: at the same time, we regard pigeons as not clever animals,” he said.
32．What is the purpose of the new study
A．To test a theory. B．To evaluate a model.
C．To employ a strategy. D．To involve an approach.
33．What were the pigeons expected to do in the experiment
A．Draw circles. B．Correct errors. C．Copy gestures. D．Identify images.
34．What do pigeons and AI have in common according to the study
A．They are of equal intelligence.
B．They are good at making rules.
C．They respond rapidly to orders from humans.
D．They employ simple ways to get things done.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Pigeons’ trial-and-error method is revealed
B．Pigeons outperform humans in tough tasks
C．“Not smart” pigeons may be as smart as AI
D．AI models after pigeons’ learning approach
【答案】32．A 33．D 34．D 35．C
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究，该研究揭示了鸽子在某些问题解决上的能力与人工智能相似，并通过实验验证了这一观点。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study reveals that pigeons (鸽子) can tackle some problems just like artificial intelligence, enabling them to solve difficult tasks that might challenge humans. Previous research has theorized that pigeons employ a problem-solving strategy, involving a trial-and- error approach, which is similar to the approach used in AI models but differs from humans’ reliance on selective attention and rule use.

阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Children are naturally curious beings, but getting them to study something they aren’t interested in can be a difficult task. Teachers often find themselves trying to reward in the 41 of stars or threat of punishment. But what if rewards and threats aren’t the 42
Natural curiosity is sometimes referred to as “internal motivation”. Studies have found that children who see learning as 43 and important are better at it. And it’s easy to understand why — it’s difficult to study something we aren’t 44 .
External motivation, things like rewards and punishment, does have its 45 too. Motives for achieving good grades or fear of being punished have been 46 to benefit older students. However, it seems that at an early age, it doesn’t have as much effect. So for this group, how can we stimulate that 47
According to some experts, the key is to 48 some degree of freedom. Let the child see their learning as their 49 will. If you want to teach a child to read, let them choose which book they use. Whether it’s a comic book or classic literature — the aim of stimulating their desire for reading is still 50 . Likewise, 51 a relationship with them as learners — listen to their negative feelings. Explain why an activity is valuable, even if it isn’t 52 fun.
So it seems that the most 53 way of motivating children, especially the young ones, might 54 stimulating that internal motivation. Maybe it’s time to release them from the reigns of threats and rewards, and give them a bit more 55 of how they learn.
41．A．form B．name C．order D．right

The Siberian tiger is the largest of all tigers. 57 adult male can grow up to 3.3 meters in 58 (long) and weigh as much as 300 kilograms.
Long ago, Siberian tigers were all over Northeast Asia and Russian Far East. 59 , today they are found mainly along the Chinese-Russian border and 60 (possible) in North Korea. The main reason for their decrease in numbers is the disappearance of their natural habitat. Fortunately, steps 61 (take) to save this magnificent creature in recent years and as a consequence numbers are 62 the rise.
There is also a fairly large population of Siberian tigers in zoos, some of 63 are expected to be reintroduced to the wild. Of course, they would need to learn how to hunt and take care of 64 (they), and this is easier said than done. Another big issue is the problem of space. At present, there just is not enough 65 (spoil) forest available to support reintroducing many Siberian tigers into the wild.
【答案】
56．known 57．An 58．length 59．However 60．possibly 61．have been taken 62．on 63．which 64．themselves 65．unspoiled/unspoilt
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了西伯利亚虎以及人们采取措施拯救这种神奇的生物。
56．考查非谓语动词。句意：西伯利亚虎是世界上最濒危的动物之一，在中国被称为东北虎。本句系动词为is，此处为非谓语动词，且Siberian tiger与know“知道”为被动关系，应用过去分词。known as“被称为，以……而闻名”，为固定短语。故答案为known。
57．考查冠词。句意：一只成年雄性可以长到3.3米长，体重可达300公斤。此处泛指“一只成年雄性”，且adult以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an，位于句首，首字母大写。故答案为An。
58．考查名词。句意：一只成年雄性可以长到3.3米长，体重可达300公斤。in length“长度”，为固定短语。故答案为length。
59．考查副词。句意：然而，今天它们主要分布在中俄边境，也可能在朝鲜。前后句是转折关系，应用however“然而”，位于句首，首字母大写。故答案为However。
60．考查副词。句意：然而，今天它们主要分布在中俄边境，也可能在朝鲜。本空用副词possibly“可能”，修饰动词found，作状语。故答案为possibly。
61．考查动词语态、主谓一致。句意：幸运的是，近年来人们采取了一些措施来拯救这种宏伟的生物，因此它们的数量正在上升。take steps“采取措施”。in recent years“近年来”，为现在完成时的标志词，且step和take之间是被动关系，用现在完成时的被动语态，主语为复数，助动词用have。故答案为have been taken。
62．考查介词。句意：幸运的是，近年来人们采取了一些措施来拯救这种宏伟的生物，因此它们的数量正在上升。on the rise“在增长”为固定短语。故答案为on。
63．考查定语从句。句意：动物园里也有相当多的西伯利亚虎，其中一些有望被重新引入野外。分析句子结构可知，本空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Siberian tigers，指物，关系词代替先行词在从句中作宾语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
64．考查代词。句意：当然，它们需要学习如何捕猎和照顾它们自己，这说起来容易做起来难。结合句意和主语为they可知，本空表示“它们自己”，用反身代词themselves，作宾语。故答案为themselves。
65．考查形容词。句意：目前，没有足够的未受破坏的森林来支持将许多西伯利亚虎重新引入野外。本空用形容词unspoiled/unspoilt“未受破坏的”，作定语，修饰forest。故答案为unspoiled或unspoilt。

I hope this email finds you well. I’ve been thinking about our upcoming survey on cultural heritage protection in my hometown and wanted to share my plan with you.
My idea is to start by interviewing historians to understand the historical significance of cultural heritage. Additionally, we could refer to relevant documents and photographs. This data would provide valuable insights into the current situation. I also think it would be beneficial to gather opinions from tourist, as they offer different perspectives.

第二节（满分25分）
67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For many, an act of kindness is its own reward. But Eva Hachey found her selflessness answered in ways she could never have imagined.
For weeks, Eva Hachey had imagined adopting a golden Chihuahua with a white spot on its forehead. And there he was, at her local SPCA in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The dog had been abused by his previous owners and was timid. “He’d come to me, then back away and growl, then come back to me,” Hachey said. “After 15 minutes, the attendant picked him up and put him in my lap. He started giving me kisses. He stole my heart in that moment.” She adopted the ten-month-old puppy on the spot and named him Bruno.
Bruno lived happily with Hachey and her 35-year-old daughter, Angel Hutchinson, for five months. Then, on the evening of September 26, 2016, Hachey, 52 at the time, returned home as usual at 8 p. m. from her job as a chiropractic assistant and office manager. And as usual, she ate supper in front of the TV in the living room. Around 10: 30, a friend called, just as Bruno went into Hutchinson’s room to go to sleep for the night. Hachey and her friend chatted a bit, and as Hachey hung up, she noticed the time was 11: 08.
“The next thing I remember was a male voice saying, ‘Eva, Eva, wake up.’ It was an emergency doctor,” said Hachey. “I looked around, and the room was just full of people. And I said, ‘What are you doing in my house ’”
What they were doing was saving her life. By the time Hachey had hung up with her friend, Hutchinson was fast asleep in her bedroom and Bruno was in his usual spot next to her under the blankets. Hachey believed Bruno heard something odd then and possibly went to the living room to investigate.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Unexpectedly, Bruno ran back to the bedroom and tried every means to awaken Hutchinson.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A year later, Hachey finally fully recovered.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Unexpectedly, Bruno ran back to the bedroom and tried every means to awaken Hutchinson. He barked and jumped on and off the bed. When that didn’t work, he attacked Hutchinson’s fleshy skin between her fingers. Finally, Hutchinson woke up and was immediately led into the living room, only to discover Hatchey passed out in the chair. She had almost stopped breathing and was apparently in danger. Without hesitation, Hutchson lifted her head up so her mother could breathe, and dialed 911 on her cell. The ambulance finally arrived and Hatchey was rushed to the hospital. It turned out that she suffered a stroke and would have died without the quick response.
A year later, Hachey finally fully recovered. Recalling the experience, she was convinced that being found so quickly after the attack was the key factor in helping her survive. She owed it to Bruno, saying that it was he that saved her life. “I never imagined he would save my life when I adopted him. I do believe the animal will pick us and I am lucky he chose me. ” Hatchey gazed at Bruno and stroked his fur gently, smiling contentedly. Any act of kindness is its own reward, no matter how small it seems.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文讲述了Eva Hachey通过采取一只庇护所狗狗布鲁诺做出的善良行为，而最终获得了她意想不到的回报。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“出乎意料的是，布鲁诺跑回卧室，并尽一切办法唤醒Hutchinson”可知，第一段可描写第一段可描写布鲁诺叫醒Hutchinson，以及如何救Hachey的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“一年后，Hachey终于完全康复了”可知，第二段可描写Hachey恢复之后，得知自己被布鲁诺拯救的过程，很感动和感悟。
2.续写线索：
Hachey领养Bruno——Hachey的女儿以及Bruno关系非常亲密——一天，Hachey突发中风——Bruno唤醒Hachey的女儿，及时拨打911——Hachey病情恢复——Hachey得知真相非常感动
3.词汇激活

①到达：arrive/reach/get to
②拯救：save/rescue
③看着：gaze at/stare at

①毫不犹豫：without hesitation/unhesitatingly
②满意地：contentedly/satisfactorily
