Here are some things that you can buy as gifts for your friends who are birdwatchers. A window-mounted bird feeder
One way to guarantee a close-up look at the birds in your garden is to bring them all the way to the house. This bird feeder is solidly built with strong suction (吸) cups that you can tie to your windows, giving you a good view of your winged visitors. A pair of binoculars
Binoculars are a birdwatcher’s best friend! They work like two small telescopes joined together, allowing you to use both eyes to see distant birds as if they were right in front of you. They’re perfect for spotting feathered friends in the wild, whether the birds are high up in the trees or soaring across the sky. When you peer through them, you get a view that makes every little detail of the birds—their colors, beaks, and even the texture of their
feathers. The Robin: A Biography by Stephen Moss
This beautifully illustrated book draws readers into the mysterious world of Britain’s favourite bird, the red robin—a familiar sight in all winter gardens, but as naturalist Stephen Moss demonstrates, one we hardly bining convincing storytelling with biological fact, Moss guides us through a year in the life of the robin, from the moment it hatches from its egg to its all too timely mortality (死亡) — the robin tends to live a mere 13 months, adding to its precious quality. A reusable thermal bottle
Every good birding expedition needs a bottle of steaming hot tea. A reusable bottle decorated with lifelike drawings of classic British birds combines a natural aesthetic (美感)with practicality. It can keep not only hot drinks but also cold drinks.
21．What do we know about binoculars
A．They can attract birds to your house. B．They show images in black and white.
C．They can provide detailed views of birdwatching. D．They’re too heavy to carry for birdwatchers.
22．What does The Robin: A Biography tell us about
A．The birth of a bird. B．The death of a bird.
C．The quantity of a bird. D．The lifetime of a bird.
23．Which gift may attract birds to one’s house

Lexi is just a little girl from Canada who found herself in a heart-stopping situation. It started off as a normal car trip. Angela Shymanski, Lexi’s mom, was at the wheel, navigating the tricky roads of the Rockies with her daughter Lexi and her baby Peter in the car. An unexpected animal ran into the road. Angela swerved (突然转向) to avoid the animal. Unfortunately, their car was off the road, falling down a steep embankment (路堤).
The crash was nothing short of terrifying. Angela ended up with a broken back. She was unconscious, and unable to help her babies. Meanwhile, baby Peter’s cries echoed in the chaos. But Lexi, only five years old, didn’t freeze. Instead, she showed courage that would leave many grown-ups in awe.
She quickly jumped into action. The little girl, without even shoes on her feet, wrestled free from her seatbelt and climbed the 40-foot embankment. Once she reached the top, Lexi did everything she could to flag down a passing car in order to get help for her mom and brother.
Lexi’s insistence finally paid off. A car stopped, and the people inside didn’t hesitate to help her call for emergency services. When the paramedics (护理人员) arrived, they found Angela in a severe state, and her heart had stopped. Thankfully, they managed to bring her back.
Lexi’s dad, reflecting on the incident, couldn’t help but be amazed by his daughter’s bravery. He stressed how important it is for kids to be prepared for emergencies, shocked at how Lexi remembered and acted on what she had been taught. It’s a powerful reminder of what kids can do when push comes to shove.
And Lexi’s heroism didn’t go unnoticed. She was awarded a Bronze Medal for Bravery by the police. But for the Shymanskis, the real prize was being back in each other’s arms, safe and sound.
24．What caused the accident
A．The tough road. B．The children’s noise.
C．A car that suddenly swerved. D．An animal appearing suddenly.
25．What was Lexi’s first move after the accident
A．Putting on her shoes. B．Managing to get out of the car.
C．Flagging down a passing car. D．Scaling the 40-foot embankment.
26．What can we learn about Lexi from paragraph 5
A．Her heroic action deserved recognition. B．Her dad knew her daughter well enough.
C．She had learned how to deal with emergencies. D．It was important for her to face some emergencies.
27．Which of the following can best describe Lexi
A．Brave and honest. B．Calm and courageous.
C．Thoughtful but stubborn. D．Caring but naughty.

A new study says that no matter how much the world cuts back on carbon emissions, a large and important part of Antarctica is expected to disappear.
The study focused on the melting of protective ice around Antarctica’s Amundsen Sea in western Antarctica. They said the “unavoidable” melting will take hundreds of years, resulting in a rise of nearly 1.8 meters in sea levels. This melting will have a profound impact on where and how people live in the future. The study, published in Nature Climate Change, warns that even if future warming was limited to just a few tenths of a degree more, it would have “limited power to prevent ocean warming that could lead to the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.”
The lead writer of the study, Kaitlin Naughten, explains that the research indicates that the Earth is on a path towards rapid ocean warming and ice shelf melting over the coming century. While past studies have talked about how serious the situation is, Naughten was the first to use computer modeling to study how warm water from below will melt the ice. The study looked at four different cases in how much carbon emissions the world produces. ln each case, ocean warming was just too much for this area of the ice to survive. It also looked at what would happen if future warming was limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius over mid-19th century levels: the international
goal. They found the runaway melting process in this case as well.
The study primarily focuses on the part of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet that is most at risk of melting near the Amundsen Sea, including the Thwaites ice shelf, often referred to as the “Doomsday Glacier”. According to Eric Rignot, an ice scientist at the University of California Irvine, this area is already “doomed” (注定的) due to the rapid melting that has occurred. Naughten does not like to use the word “doomed”, because she said 100 years from now, the world might not just stop but drive back carbon levels in the air and climate change. But she said what is happening now on the ground is a slow collapse that cannot be stopped, at least not in this century.
28．According to the study, what will be the consequence of the “unavoidable” melting of ice
A．A fast collapse of the West Antarctica.
B．A rise in sea levels to at least 1.8 meters.
C．A change of people’s living places and life.
D．A significant reduction in carbon emissions.
29．What is special about Naughten’s research
A．Explaining why the Earth is on a path towards rapid ocean warming.
B．Adopting computer modeling to study the possibility of ice survival.
C．Finding the runaway melting process in the fourth case of ocean warming.
D．Comparing four cases in how much carbon emissions the world produces.
30．What would Naughten most probably agree with
A．Ice shelf melting is unstoppable at least in the century.
B．The word “doomed” accurately describes the situation.
C．Carbon levels will never reach the international goal.
D．Past studied didn’t show how serious the situation is.
31．What is the purpose of the text
A．To explain the impact of carbon emissions on Antarctica.
B．To share the findings of a new study on Antarctic ice melting.
C．To analyze the potential consequences of rapid ocean warming.
D．To call for immediate action to prevent the Antarctic ice melting.
D
In 1945, two sculptures meant to represent the average man called Norman and woman called Norma in the United States went on exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History.
That same year, a contest was launched to find a living representation of Norma. Normal is often used to mean “typical”, “expected”, or even “correct”. By that logic, most people should fit the description of normal.
And yet, not one of almost 4,000 women who participated in the contest matched Norma, the supposedly “normal” woman.
This puzzle isn’t unique to Norma and Norman, either — time and time again, so-called normal descriptions of our bodies, minds, and perceptions have turned out to match almost no one. So what does normal actually mean — and should we be relying on it so much
In statistics, a normal distribution describes a set of values that fall along a bell curve (曲线). The average, or mean, of all the values is at the very center, and most other values fall within the hump (驼峰) of the bell. Normal doesn’t describe a single data point, but a pattern of diversity. Many human traits, like height, follow a normal distribution. Some people are very tall or very short, but most people fall close to the overall average. Outside of statistics, normal often refers to an average like the single number pulled from the fattest part of the bell curve that excludes all the nuances of the normal distribution. Norma and Norman’s proportions (比例) came from such averages.
Applied to individuals, whether someone is considered normal usually depends on how closely they get to this average. At best, such definitions of normal fail to capture variation. When limited or inaccurate definitions of normal are used to make decisions that impact people’s lives, they can do real harm. There were examples in history.
To this day, people are often targeted and discriminated against on the basis of disabilities, mental health issues, and other features considered “not normal”. But the reality is that the differences in our bodies, minds, perceptions, and ideas about the world around us — in short, diversity — is the true normal.
32．What can we learn about Norman and Norma
A．No participant fitted the description of them in the contest.
B．They were on display as soon as they were completed in 1945.
C．They were both named by the American Museum of Natural History.
D．People viewed them as typical and correct representations of humans.
33．How does normal in statistics differ from normal outside of statistics
A．The former and the latter fall at totally different points of the bell curve.
B．The former and the latter account for different puzzles in our daily life.
C．The latter is a single number whereas the former shows a pattern of diversity.
D．The latter often indicates the distribution of a set of values but the former doesn’t.
34．What does the underlined word “nuances” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A．Possibilities. B．Examples. C．Meanings. D．Differences.
35．What is the best title of the passage
A．What Is Real Normal
B．When Are Humans Normal
C．How Does Normal Cause Harm
D．Why Shouldn’t We Rely on Normal

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。
It's common to communicate by way of text, and that works well for everything from setting plans with a friend to asking you to pick up a grocery item. 36 . Fighting over text, can cause problems and can even break up friendships or partnerships. Ahead, we'll examine why.
● There's no vocal tone involved
When we speak, the person we're talking to can tell how serious or light we are by our tone. 37 . Everything is flat in writing, so without vocal tone to clarify, it's easy to assume the worst in someone and their intentions.
● 38
We also communicate in person through nonverbal ways. How we act physically lets others know how we feel. And without that in text, an argument can be worsened to a terrible point without one person even becoming aware of how upset the other is.
● Different communication paces affect a lot
39 . And when arguing, it can get even faster. It happens not to read all of a person's reply before you respond again, and the more upset you get, the harder it may be to express yourself clearly or to understand the person you're fighting with.
● Emojis and gifs can be hurtful
In the same way that visual communication tools like emojis and gifs can add fun to conversations, they can also make things much worse in a text disagreement. It can be challenging to know when you've taken emojis or gifs to a hurtful place, especially if the other person holds in that information and doesn't tell you at the moment. 40 .
A．Body language is absent
B．Text, on the other hand, has no tone
C．Long-term healthy relationships collapse
D．Texting is generally a quick back-and-forth exchange
E．This happens if he is feeling unsafe in the discussion
F．However, we may have taken communication by text too far
G．Our tone tells us a conversation is heading in the wrong direction

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或所给单词的正确形式。Early risers are people who naturally wake up early in the morning. Their body clock causes them to get up 56 most of us are still in deep sleep. Researchers at the University of California said early risers could have some 57 (share) DNA from Neanderthals — our ancestors who lived over 40,000 years ago. Neanderthals lived in the 58 (north) parts of Europe and Asia. They woke up earlier to hunt for or gather food as the sun rose. Researcher Dr. Tony Capra said, “At higher latitudes (纬度) it is 59 (benefit) to have a body clock that is better able to anticipate and adapt to the 60 (change) seasonal light levels.” He added, “Having a ‘faster’ body clock makes individuals more likely to rise early.”
Scientists have spent a long time looking at 61 some people are early birds, while others are night owls. They looked at 62 medical database with genetic information of hundreds of thousands of people. Their research found more examples of Neanderthal DNA existed in the early risers. However, 63 is likely that the Neanderthal gene is not so strong in many people. The effect of the Neanderthal DNA may 64 (weaken) over the past centuries. Our modern lifestyles mean many of us prefer sleeping in 65 leaving the comfort of our bed. Nevertheless, it may still be true that the early bird catches the worm.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个新的研究发现，无论人们怎么减少碳排放，南极洲的一大片重要区域预计都会消失。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They said the “unavoidable” melting will take hundreds of
years, resulting in a rise of nearly 1.8 meters in sea levels. This melting will have a profound impact on where and how people live in the future.(他们说，“不可避免的”融化将需要数百年的时间，导致海平面上升近1.8米。这种融化将对人们未来的生活地点和方式产生深远的影响)”可知，根据这项研究，“不可避免”的冰融化的后果将是人们生活场所和生活的改变。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“While past studies have talked about how serious the situation is, Naughten was the first to use computer modeling to study how warm water from below will melt the ice.(虽然过去的研究已经讨论了情况有多严重，但诺顿是第一个使用计算机建模来研究来自地下的温水将如何融化冰的人)”可知，诺顿的研究特别之处在于采用计算机建模来研究冰存活的可能性。故选B。
30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But she said what is happening now on the ground is a slow collapse that cannot be stopped, at least not in this century.(但是她说，目前正在发生的情况是一种缓慢的崩溃，无法阻止，至少在本世纪无法阻止)”可推知，诺顿很可能会同意冰架融化至少在本世纪内是不可阻挡的。故选A。
31．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“A new study says that no matter how much the world cuts back on carbon emissions, a large and important part of Antarctica is expected to disappear.(一项新的研究表明，无论世界减少多少碳排放，南极洲的一大片重要地区预计都会消失)”及下文介绍可知，文章主要介绍了一个新的研究发现，无论人们怎么减少碳排放，南极洲的一大片重要区域预计都会消失。由此推知，这篇文章的目的是分享一项关于南极冰融化的新研究的发现。故选B。
32．D 33．C 34．D 35．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章告诉人们实际上我们周遭世界的 “diversity（多样性）”才是真正的“normal（常态）”。
32．推理判断题。根据第一段“In 1945, two sculptures meant to represent the average man called Norman and woman called Norma in the United States went on exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History. (1945年，美国自然历史博物馆展出了两件雕塑，分别代表美国一个叫诺曼的普通男人和一个叫诺玛的女人。)”和第二段“Normal is often used to mean “typical”, “expected”, or even “correct”. (Normal通常用来表示“典型的”、“预期的”，甚至是“正确的”。)”及“And yet, not one of almost 4,000 women who participated in the contest matched
Norma, the supposedly “normal” woman.(然而，在参加比赛的近4000名女性中，没有一人能与诺玛（Norma）匹敌，诺玛被认为是“正常”的女性)”可知，人们认为Norman和Norma是人类典型的，正确的代表/化身。故选D。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段“In statistics, a normal distribution describes a set of values that fall along a bell curve (曲线). The average, or mean, of all the values is at the very center, and most other values fall within the hump (驼峰) of the bell. Normal doesn’t describe a single data point, but a pattern of diversity...Outside of statistics, normal often refers to an average like the single number pulled from the fattest part of the bell curve(在统计学中，正态分布描述了沿钟形曲线下降的一组值。所有值的平均值或平均值位于正中心，大多数其他值落在钟形的驼峰内。正常并不是指单个数据点，而是一种多样性模式……在统计学之外，正态通常是指一个平均值，就像从钟形曲线最胖的部分提取的单个数字)”可知，统计学里面的normal表示正态分布，呈现的是一组数据的多元模式，而统计学以外的normal一般指的是平均值，如从钟形曲线最宽厚部分抽出的单一数字一样。故选C。
34．词句猜测题。根据第四段“Outside of statistics, normal often refers to an average like the single number pulled from the fattest part of the bell curve that excludes all the nuances of the normal distribution.(在统计学之外，正态通常指的是一个平均值，比如从钟形曲线最胖的部分提取的单个数字，它排除了正态分布的所有的nuances)”和第五段“Applied to individuals, whether someone is considered normal usually depends on how closely they get to this average. At best, such definitions of normal fail to capture variation. (对于个人来说，一个人是否被认为是正常的，通常取决于他们与这个平均值的接近程度。充其量，这种对正常的定义未能捕捉到变化。)”可知，统计学以外对normal的定义无法捕捉变量，只取平均值，即排除了正态分布中的所有细微差别。所以nuances为“差别”之意。故选D。
35．主旨大意题。全文围绕第三段的问题 “So what does normal actually mean — and should we be relying on it so much (那么，“正常”到底是什么意思？我们应该如此依赖它吗？)”进行展开，揭密normal的本质，帮助人们全面理解什么才是真正的normal。所以“What Is Real Normal (什么是真正的normal )”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。
