（22-23高一下·河南商丘·期末）New research led by scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has revealed that the spiny pollen (带刺花粉) of plants in the sunflower family can reduce infection of a common bee parasite (寄生生物) by up to 94 percent. The sunflowers'spiny pollen can destroy a parasite called C． bombi (熊蜂短膜虫), which has been significantly reducing bumblebee populations.
To investigate how sunflowers help bumblebees resist C． bombi, the researchers separated the spiny outer shell of the pollen from the chemical metabolites (代谢物) in the pollen’s core. They then mixed the spiny pollen shells of sunflowers, with the chemistry removed, into the pollen fed to one group of bees.
Another group was fed wildflower pollen with sunflower metabolites and no sunflower shells. The researchers discovered that the bees that ate the spiny sunflower pollen shells had the same response as bees feeding on whole sunflower pollen. These bees had a markedly reduced risk of C． bombi infection compared to those fed sunflower metabolites.
Bumblebees, which are vital pollinators of crops and wildflowers, are experiencing a rapid decline in their populations worldwide. Habitat loss due to urbanization and agricultural intensification is the greatest threat to bumblebees. Climate change is also taking a toll on bumblebees. As temperatures rise, bumblebees are forced to move further north to cooler climates, which can affect their ability to find food and nesting sites. Pesticide use is another significant threat to bumblebees. These chemicals are harmful to them and can damage their navigation and immune systems, leading to reduced reproductive success. Bumblebees play a vital role in maintaining healthy and diverse ecosystems. Understanding how sunflowers protect bees from disease could help us identify other flowers that have similar protective properties. Through this, researchers can work towards developing new strategies to help conserve bumblebees.

（22-23高一下·河南商丘·期末）According to a new study described by researchers as a global breakthrough, plants are not as silent as we once thought they were. They do make sounds, particularly when injured or stressed—just not ones that we can hear with our ears. Researchers recorded and analyzed sounds produced by plants and discovered that they can give off clicking sounds at a volume similar to human speech, but too high for human ears to pick it up.
In order to seclude the plants to ensure that any sound picked up by recording equipment could only be coming from the plants and not the atmosphere around them, researchers at Tel Aviv University placed plants in an acoustic (声学的) box in an environment with no background noise. The plant types used in this study were mainly tomato and tobacco plants. Researchers used recording equipment capable of picking up frequencies between 20 and 250 kilohertz, reaching more than 15 times higher than the maximum frequency the average adult can hear.
In the greenhouse setting, they also recorded a group of tomato and tobacco plants as they grew increasingly dehydrated (脱水的), and found that their sound outpoint increased steadily for the following four to five days after being watered, and then decreased. Essentially, the thirstier the plants got, the louder they complained—until they reached a certain critical stage of dehydration, at which point their voices quieted as they dried up. The researchers also found that dehydrated tomato and tobacco plants produced an average of about 35 and 11 sounds per hour, respectively. Cut tomato and tobacco plants made 25 and 15 noises per hour. Healthy plants, on the other hand, produced far fewer sounds, at less than one per hour.
Recording these sounds could help inform farmers about which of their crops are most in need of water, allowing for more precise irrigation, which could be a step forward for agriculture. “When more and more areas are exposed to drought due to climate change, efficient water use becomes even more critical for food security. We believe that humans can use this information, given the right tools—such as sensors that tell growers when plants need watering,” said Lilach Hadany, a professor from the School of Plant Sciences and Food Security at the Wise Faculty of Life Sciences.

（22-23高一下·河南商丘·期末）Daniel, at age 17, is a student support captain at Armidale High School, a motivational speaker and a published author. He also has autism (自闭症), something he says doesn’t define him but inspires him.
At just six months old Daniel had a stroke (中风) that left him physically impaired (受损的), unable to bear weight in his legs or move the left side of his body. Unable to walk and in a wheelchair until he was six years old, Daniel turned to books and could read fluently at age four.
According to the Autism Association of Western Australia, it is estimated that one in 100 people in Australia have autism. In 2018, there were 205, 200 Australians with autism, a 25. 1 percent increase from 164, 000 in 2015.
The idea of writing a book had been in Daniel’s mind for as long as he could remember. “It’s been one of my long-term goals and I feel very passionate and happy about doing it,” he said. With Mum’s help, Cracked As A Crab was born, the story of Chip, a crab who has autism and uses humour to make friends. “The response to it has been very positive. People are happy and excited for me,” Jacob said.
Now a published author, Daniel has plans to write more books. Not content with sitting idle (无所事事) while most students are studying for their exams, Daniel is busy involving others in his role as student support captain. He saw a gap in student support leaders within his school and wanted students with autism to be included. He is determined to have a long and successful career, and wants to inspire other people living with autism to achieve their dreams.

（22-23高一下·云南迪庆·期末）A study has found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow down the aging process (衰老过程). Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick. Their research shows that the devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer, but also more healthily.
For their study, the researchers looked at two groups. The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists (骑行者) between the ages of 55 to 79.This group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women. This group was called the“ cyclists”
Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group. Within this group,75 people were aged from 57 to 80. The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36.The people in this group were also healthy, but they did not exercise regularly. This group was called the “non-exercisers”. Smokers, heavy drinkers of alcohol (酒精) and people with other health issues were not included in the study.
Then, researchers gave both groups a series of tests. They tested their muscle mass, muscular strength, percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune systems (免疫系统). Then the researchers compared the results of the two groups.
Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process. For example, they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength. Also, their body fat did not increase with age.
The researchers also found something they had not expected. The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.
The researchers advise us all to find the exercise that we like in our lives.
16．How did the researchers carry out the study
A．With imagination.
B．Through discussion.

（22-23高一下·云南迪庆·期末）A very dangerous situation happened in California last week. More than 12 wildfires broke out in the state. Most of them began on October 8, in Northern California. They grew rapidly. The fires were made bigger by winds of up to 50 miles per hour and dry air in the area.
At least 20 people have been killed, the state government said. About 200 have been injured. At least 3,500 homes and businesses have been destroyed. About 50,000 people have been required to escape. Many left in a hurry, without time to take their personal things.“All the good stuff(东西)—I’m never going to see it again,”Jeff Okrepkie said. He escaped from his Santa Rosa home. It was destroyed soon after he left.
The fires burned through parts of eight counties(郡，县). These include Sonoma and Napa. The areas are important to California’s economy(经济). They are home to many of the state’s vineyards(葡萄园)and wineries(酿酒厂). In 2016, California’s wineries made more than $57 billion.

（22-23高一下·云南迪庆·期末）“I like pop songs better before I actually got a chance to sing hua’er at the age of 19,” said Sa Lina,36, who has since become a famous singer, devoting herself to this traditional art form for almost two decades
Hua’er, which means flower in Chinese, is a Chinese folk song style. It is popular and shared by people of nine ethnic groups in Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia and Xinjiangfor hundreds of years. Also known as a type of “mountain songs”, it was inscribed by UNESCO on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产)in 2009.
After graduating in 2005, Sa returned to her hometown in Ningxia, and soon got a chance to sing with Ma Handong, a famous singer of hua’er. “I had never sung hua’er before, so I practiced a lot, To my surprise, I soon fell in love with its beautiful melodies,” said Sa.
Since then, Sa has devoted herself to mastering the folk art, and further bringing this traditional local folk art to the national stage. In 2010, she sang a hua’er song at a gala on Chinese New Year’s Eve, winning nationwide attention. At the age of 27, she was named an inheritor(传承者)of hua’er, becoming the youngest inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage at the time.
“Art should not only be inherited(传承), but also improved. I don’t only want to be a hua’er singer, but also a promoter of this folk music,” she said. In 2014 Sa set up an art school, which offers hua’er training courses free of charge. She also regularly gives singing lectures in public schools and communities, benefiting tens of thousands of people.

（22-23高一下·江苏南京·期末）Today’s amazing newspaper headline!
First family of four to walk to the South Pole wearing Mickey Mouse ears and clown’s shoes.
No, not really. It isn’t true. I invented it. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see it one day soon. It seems that every week someone becomes ”the first” or “the youngest” or “the oldest” or even “the first married couple” to do something that doesn’t seem to be very useful to the rest of humanity.
This year I’ve seen headlines saying “The youngest person to sail the Atlantic alone”, “The youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest”, and “The first people to fly around the world in a hot air balloon”. Why do they do it Don’t they have better things to do with their time and money And why should I be interested anyway
Human beings have already climbed the highest mountains, sailed across the oceans and flown around the world. People have already reached the most remote parts of our planet. Many of these things were done a long, long time ago. There just isn’t anything left to explore nowadays. I suppose there’s still a lot of the universe left, and the bottom of the oceans is still a bit of a mystery, but you need a lot of technology to explore areas like that. So, those people who feel the need for adventure can only do things that have been done before. So they have to try and do it in a new way, or be “the fastest” or “the youngest” or “the oldest” to do something that isn’t really new at all.
What is so great about climbing Mount Everest these days anyway It’s become a popular tourist trip. People pay thousands of dollars to be taken up the mountain by the local Sherpas, who lead the way and carry the bags. At any one time there are about a thousand people either climbing up or on their way back down. As a result, Everest is covered with rubbish and the Sherpas have to make special trips up the mountain to pick it up. The climbers are often inexperienced and when they get into trouble other people have to risk their lives to bring them down to safety. Helicopter crews have been killed trying to reach people who were stuck on the mountain.
In January 2003 a helicopter carrying two British men crashed into the sea near Antarctica. I’m not quite sure what they were trying to be “the first” or “the youngest” to do. The Chilean navy picked them up after a nine-hour rescue mission that cost tens of thousands of pounds, all paid for by the Chilean and British taxpayers.
Talking of taxpayers, many Australians are getting a bit fed up with record breakers. A lot of people trying to break sailing or rowing records get into trouble in the seas around Australia, so the Australian navy has to send ships to save them. There have been a lot of difficult, time-consuming rescue missions in recent years costing the Australian government millions of dollars. I suppose we can’t just leave them to drown, but personally, I think we should give the bill to the people who are rescued. Perhaps they would think twice about doing it if they had to pay for expensive insurance premiums (保费). Then I wouldn’t have to read about them in the newspapers either.
28．The writer invents the newspaper headline in paragraphs 1 & 2 to ________.
A．persuade readers of a new trend B．entertain readers with his humor
C．get readers interested in the topic D．remind readers of an important event
29．By saying “It’s become a popular tourist trip”, the writer means ________.
A．Mount Everest is now covered with a lot of rubbish
B．climbing Mount Everest has already lost its true meaning
C．it’s impossible to climb up Mountain Everest without help
D．people without experience may get in trouble or even danger
30．Which is the reason why many Australians dislike the record breakers
A．They have to pay for the costs of rescuing the record breakers.
B．The Australian navy was not something intended for rescue work.
C．The record breakers should pay for their insurance premiums themselves.
D．A great number of people try to break records in the seas around Australia.
31．Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A．It’s All Been Done Before B．Never Do Something New
C．You Are the Next Record Breaker D．Be Responsible for Your Adventures
（22-23高一下·江苏南京·期末）A report from the UN warns that countries’ current commitments would reduce carbon by only about 7.5% by 2030, far less than the 45% cut, which scientists say is needed to limit global temperature rises to 1.5°C, the aim of the COP26 summit.
António Guterres, the UN secretary-general, described the findings as a “thundering wake-up call” to world leaders, while experts called for action against fossil fuel companies.
Although more than 100 countries have promised to reach net zero emissions around mid-century, this would not be enough to avoid climate disasters, according to the UN emissions report, which examines the shortfall (差额) between countries intentions and actions needed on the climate. Many of the net zero commitments were found to be unclear, and unless accompanied by strict cuts in emissions this decade would allow global heating of a potentially disastrous extent.
Guterres said: “The heat is on, and as the contents of the report show, the leadership we need is off. Far off. Countries are wasting a massive opportunity to invest Covid-19 finance and recovery resources in sustainable, cost-saving, planet-saving ways. As world leaders prepare for COP26, that is another thundering wake-up call. How many do we need ”
Inger Andersen, the director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said: “Climate change is no longer a future problem. It is a now problem. To stand a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5℃, we have 8 years to almost halve greenhouse gas emissions: 8 years to make the plans, put in place the policies, carry them out and deliver the cuts. The clock is ticking loudly.”
Emissions fell by about 5. 4% last year during Covid lockdowns, the report found, but only about one-fifth of the economic recovery spending goes towards reducing carbon emissions. This failure to “build back better”, despite promises by governments around the world, cast doubt on the world’s willingness to make the economic shift necessary to settle the climate crisis, the UN said.
In the run-up to COP26, countries were supposed to submit (递交) national plans to cut emissions—called nationally determined contributions (NDCs) —for the next decade, a requirement under the 2015 Paris climate agreement. But the UNEP report found only half of countries had submitted new NDCs, and some governments had presented weak plans.
32．Why were the findings described as a “thundering wake-up call” in Para. 2
A．Because the world has failed to live up to its current commitments.
B．Because the opportunities presented by covid-19 have been wasted.
C．Because the world is falling behind in slowing down temperature rises.
D．Because the serious problems were brought about by global fossil fuels.
33．The potential harm of global warming can be reduced if ________.
A．current commitments of many countries remain unchanged
B．huge gaps are bridged between previous and present proposals
C．global sustainable environmental resources develops significantly
D．strict measures are taken to reduce emissions in the coming ten years
34．What is the writer’s purpose of quoting “How many do we need ” in Para. 4
A．To show the number of alarm clocks required.
B．To explain the reason for the world’s wasting chances.
C．To ask for the number of the countries attending the meeting.
D．To stress the need to make the most of resources and reduce emissions.
35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Few countries have submitted plans to reduce the emissions.
B．Many countries’ plans to cut emissions are far from satisfactory.
C．Most of the countries work under the Paris Climate Agreement.
D．Much progress in reducing emissions has been made these years.
（22-23高一下·江苏南京·期末）Officials from Brazil’s Indigenous (原住民) protection agency approached the hut in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. They were witnessing the first recorded dying out of an uncontacted tribe in the country’s history.
The man lying there, the last member of his tribe, had died and with him an entire culture and answers to a thousand questions.
Even his name was a mystery. He was known only as “the Man of the Hole” because of the dozens of holes he had dug over the years in his territory. His age, too, could only be guessed at. He appeared to be about 60, officials said.
It was a sad milestone for a country that in recent years has seen protections for Indigenous groups undermined by an administration that has prioritized (优先) development of the Amazon over conservation.
In Rondonia, the only resident of the 8,000-hectare area lived in complete isolation for at least 26 years after the rest of his group was killed by ranchers (农场主) advancing the agricultural frontier.
Brazil’s Indigenous protection agency, Funai, made direct contact with the last surviving man only in 1996. Marcelo dos Santos, an Indigenous expert, said he was found hiding in his hut. “We tried to establish a conversation and offered corn and arrows, but he was terrified and very aggressive (具有攻击性). From this moment on, we had to respect his isolation.”
Even with protections in place, the territory suffered widespread deforestation up until about 13 years ago. Attacks on the last surviving man continued, as well, including one by armed gunmen in 2009, according to local news reports.
“For me, he was somehow incredible: to be able to survive on his own, not speak to anybody and avoid all contact maybe out of grief or determination,” said Fionad Watson, a research director at Survival International, a London-based rights organization.
36．What did the death of “the Man of the Hole” suggest
A．An uncontacted tribe went extinct. B．An entire culture would be recorded.
C．The secrets around him would be unearthed. D．The protection agency was unwilling to rescue him.
37．The underlined word “undermined” in para. 4 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A．strengthened B．monitored C．sought D．weakened
38．What happened to “the Man of the Hole” in 1996
A．He made the protection agency’s approach a failure.
B．He witnessed the most severe deforestation in history.
C．He escaped being shot by a group of aggressive gunmen.
D．He learned more survival skills with arrows offered by Funai.
39．What did Fiona Watson regard “the Man of the Hole” as
A．A mystery B．An evolution C．A wonder D．A fortune
（22-23高一下·宁夏银川·期末）I climbed Kilimanjaro with Lava Expeditions(探险队) during the rainy season.I flew to Nairobi in Kenya and spent several days there. At my hotel in Nairobi I met the rest of the group with whom I would spend the next week. We all travelled on the bus together fora 6-hour journey into Tanzania and then Arusha, a quiet town.

（22-23高一下·宁夏银川·期末）A young man once went into town and bought himself a pair of trousers. When he got home, he went upstairs to his living room and put them on. He found that they were about two inches too long.
He went downstairs, where his mother and his two sisters were washing up the tea things in the kitchen, “These new trousers are too long,” he said. “They need to be cut short by about two inches. Would one of you mind doing this for me, please ” His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything.
But as soon as his mother finished washing up, she went upstairs to her son’s room and cut the trousers short by two inches. She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters.

（22-23高一下·河南三门峡·期末）The National Parks Service has confirmed the discovery of an ancient crab (螃蟹) fossil (化石) found along the shores of Assateague Island National Seashore.
Sharon Conn, a visitor to the area, found the fossil in early October on the shore of Assateague Island. “It is very uncommon to find fossils of this nature. We have a very small number in our museum collection. That is what makes this discovery very exciting,” Liz Davis chief of Assateague Island National Seashore said.
The parks service identified the rare blue crab fossil with the help of the Department of Paleobiology. Matthew Mille, museum specialist at the National Museum of Natural History, tested the fossil to find out how it is. He concluded it was likely from the Pleistocene age, about 2 million years ago. “The extra rock around it is such a well tough ground that it can’t be easily eroded (腐蚀),” he said. “The claw did erode a bit though — which is why it isn’t immediately recognized as a claw. Gone are the tips and parts of the infilled area where the original flesh would have been through, making the whole fossil looks a bit strange.”
The fossil was found on public land and is protected by law. Davis told the Daily Times it was currently at the National Parks Service Toms Cove Visitor Center in Virginia. “We hope to have a small collection of fossils on display at the NPS Assateague Island Vistior Center in Maryland later in 2022,” said Davis.

The first electronic buoy(浮标) was recently placed in the sea in the Gulf of Corcovado. The device is designed to listen to the sounds whales make when they communicate with each other. The animals use sounds to map their movements and to hunt. The sounds are processed by artificial intelligence (AI )-powered computer systems in an effort to identify where the animals are. This information is then sent to shipping operators to help them avoid crashing in to whales
A non-profit organization put the buoy in place. The group seeks to develop technology tools to provide a warning system for shipping companies. In addition to helping protect whales the "smart" buoy also collects data on the health of the ocean and the effects of climate change. The Gulf of Corcovado is rich in sea life, including a large number of blue whales, as well as Southern right whales, which are endangered now. The population of the area's whales is the largest during the summer season in the Southern Hemisphere
"This is the beginning of a longer road," said Sonia Espanol, director of organization. She noted that her team planned to cover the gulf with at least six buoys. The buoy works by using software called Listening to the Deep Ocean Environment. The device continuously monitors ocean sounds. It uses AI to identify the kind of whales and where they are in real time. It then sends messages to nearby ships, so they can alleviate noise levels and try to avoid crashes.
The buoys also contain sensors to measure water temperatures, oxygen levels and more to predict ocean health and the effects of climate change. That information is expected to be used to help guide public environmental policies
52．What does paragraph 2 intend to tell us
A．The necessity of protecting whales
B．The important role of whales' sounds
C．The unique ways of whales' communication
D．The working process of the electronic buoy
53．What information can the buoys collect
A．The health of whales B．The change of sea life
C．The condition of the ocean D．The cause of climate change
54．What does the underlined word "alleviate" in paragraph 4 mean
A．Rid B．Collect C．Reduce D．Recognize
55．What is the purpose of the information collected by the buoys
A．To guide public environmental policies
B．To improve the ocean's oxygen levels
C．To solve the problem of climate change
D．To instruct passing ships to go smoothly
（22-23高一下·河南三门峡·期末）When I was a boy growing up, I couldn’t once ever remember either my mom or my grandma wasting food. Anything we didn’t eat at one meal was saved, stored and served as leftovers later on. I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of brown beans with a large cake of cornbread. We would all eat until we were stuffed, but there was always about half of the beans left over. A few days later, my grandma would take those beans out of the refrigerator, boil spaghetti (意大利面), add vegetables and mix them all together into her delicious spaghetti. I also remember when I watched my mom fry bacon for us in the morning, she would always take the oil and carefully pour it into a container. Then she later would use it to flavor so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that green beans didn’t actually taste like bacon.
I learned their lessons well and tried to never waste food myself after I grew up. I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list, so nothing went to waste. Every meal went into the stomach and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself, my boys or my dogs. To me, throwing food in the trash was just wrong. All the work it took to grow it, harvest it and prepare it needed to be honored, not wasted.
However, I have learned something else over the years. When it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Each moment that you don’t live is lost forever. Life can’t be saved. Life can’t be stored. Life has to be lived, TODAY.
Live each moment of your life to the fullest then. Make every day a feast of love with no leftovers, Leo Buscaglia once said, “Each day is a fresh beginning, a little life to itself,” Don’t let any of these little lives go to waste. They are gifts. Cherish them. Care for them. Chow down on them. Live your life with a full belly and a full heart.
56．What did the author’s grandma do with the leftover beans
A．She used them to feed pets.
B．She threw them in the garbage.

A．She threw away any leftovers.
B．She bought what was necessary as scheduled.
C．She bought more food materials than necessary.
D．She had all the leftovers eaten by her dogs.
58．Why did the author think throwing food in the trash was wrong
A．There wasn’t enough food for her.
B．She thought food was expensive.
C．She thought it was bad behavior.
D．It took much work to produce food.

Zoog, an Israeli startup, founded in 2021, users can make books come alive and actively join in telling stories by using AR masks and various other visual effects.
One user, Sumit Suman, used Zoog when he traveled for business. He changed himself into a carto on frog in order to hold his five-year-old daughter’s attention on phone calls. He said that his daughter would not speak to him on the phone so he used Zoog to change himself into a cartoon frog — and now they read stories every night.
According to the company’s website, the Zoog app asks you to choose one of the many stories or nursery rhymes available to read and then it offers signals and automatically adds AR effects to make the story more interesting. Once you’ve recorded yourself reading the story, you can send it as a message to your family members.
With impressive tech, Zoog is a delight to use and any grandparent can get the hang of it easily and quickly. “We want to enable grandparents who know nothing about technology to produce cool AR content,” said Yoav Oren, but their grandkids think this content is cool and are engaged with it,” Oren added. “By allowing our audience to experience and share even more advanced AR quality without complex process, therefore sharing even more frequent interactions with their loved ones.”

（22-23高一下·甘肃临夏·期末）In today’s digital age when you can get information in a blink of an eye, there is a concern about children developing an appreciation for reading printed books. That’s why communities in Australia have come up with a way to spread a love of books in the younger generations.
Communities have dealt with this problem by bringing libraries to where the kids are, in the streets. The little libraries are made of weatherproof boxes that are set up outside of houses or public spaces and are filled with books. People can take books they haven’t read and donate ones they have to the libraries.
Street Library Australia, nonprofit, was started by Nick Lowe after he saw a Little Free Library in a trip to the US. In 2015 it planned to build 30 libraries, the idea mushroomed and now there are 4, 500 registered street libraries in Australia. “It just grew and grew,” Lowe said.
The libraries come in all shapes and sizes from reformed doll houses to old kitchen cupboards. They are completely voluntary and anyone can start one. Pamela Zielke who runs a library called Pam’s Pantry gives out toys and craft supplies along with books. As an early childhood educator, she started her library with the goal of stopping books from ending up becoming waste.
But the libraries are doing much more than just providing books and other donated items to people. The street libraries are also building community. “It’s a little stopping place outside your house,” Lowe said. “It’s a great way to meet people in your neighborhood who are also booklovers, recycle books and find new books. But even more importantly, the libraries are bringing communities closer together.”

（22-23高一下·云南红河·期末）Do you chat with your dog and tell your cat secrets Some of you doubt that it might be meaningless, while others hope that your pet understands. But what, and how much, do animals understand For example, you know that animals are capable of experiencing pleasure, but do they experience humor Do dogs or cats or any animal laugh in the same way that we laugh
The reasons why human beings develop laughter are mysterious. Every human on the planet, despite the language they speak, does it. It’s something we develop before we can speak. So, while we don’t know why we do it, we do know we do it. But do animals laugh
Monkeys vocalize enjoyment during chasing games or when they are being tickled (挠痒). Interestingly the apes that are more closely related to us, display delighted sounds most similar to human laughter. The fact suggests that laughter exists before any sort of speech. It’s reported that Koko, the famous gorilla (黑猩猩) that used sign language, once tied her keeper’s shoelaces together and then signed “chase me” showing her ability to make jokes.
But what about birds Some clever birds have been seen to copy laughter and even make fun of other animals. It’s reported that one bird whistled and confused the family dog for joy. Crows (乌鸦) can use tools to locate food and pull the tails of predators (捕食性动物) to trick them while stealing food. But when there’s no food, it suggests the bird does it just for fun. So it’s possible that some birds have a sense of humor, and may even laugh, but we haven’t been able to identify it yet.
So how about the pets in our homes Are they capable of laughing at us There is evidence suggesting that dogs have developed a kind of laugh when they are enjoying themselves. Cats, on the other hand, were thought to show no emotions at all. You can be comforted that your cat isn’t laughing at you.

A．Animals are unable to laugh.
B．It’s developed before we can speak.
C．Why people develop laughter is clear.
D．Animals can understand why people laugh.

It is that those records are being broken by such large margins (幅度). In Portland, Oregon, temperature reached 46.6℃(116°F) — making it one of several cities in the region where former records have been beaten by a full 5℃(9°F). At the same time, heatwaves are also hitting central Europe and even Siberia.
Heatwaves may become headlines, but less attention is paid to them. In 2018 about 300,000 people over the age of 65 died as a result of extreme heat, mainly in India, a 54% increase since 2000, according to a report in the Lancet, a medical journal. The report also shows that, unlike storms and floods, heat does not lead to dramatic before-and-after pictures or widespread damage to belongings. It is a silent killer. As many as 70,000 people died due to a heatwave in Europe in 2003.
Heat also kills by worsening health conditions such as heart problems, so not all the deaths it causes may be directly attributed (归因) to it. Climate change will make heatwaves more common and more extreme. Even if greenhouse-gas emissions (排放) are cut to zero by the middle of this century, temperatures will go on rising for decades. So other measures are needed to protect people against extreme heat.
Governments can set up early warning systems to alarm health workers, shut down schools and stop outdoor activities. They can provide the public with forecasts of coming heatwaves, explanations of the dangers and detailed advice on what to do. Improved facilities can also help. This includes providing shaded areas, water parks and “misting stations” to help people cool down, and get to airconditioned “cooling centers” where they can find shelter and sleep if necessary.
The world is, undoubtedly, facing a big health challenge right now. There is no excuse for ignoring heatwaves and their effects.

I have lived in China for six years, I felt like I hadn’t really seen much of the country, though. So I decided to go on a 3-month journey to discover more. I had never biked for more than two hours in one day before. It was a huge physical challenge but I got stronger every day, and eventually, I could easily bike for eight hours each day.
One of the best parts of the whole experience was people. One time I met a crowd of Chinese men who were traveling by motorcycle. They invited me to stay with them in the mountains in Yunnan. We cooked fish that we caught in the lake over a fire, which made me feel true freedom from the busy life. What impressed me most was when I met a group of cyclists. They were in their 60s and 70s and still cycling better than I was. It really inspired me to push myself and go farther every day.
Mostly each day, I was alone with nature, enjoying some of the most amazing scenery in the world. It simply took my breath away. With thick forests, clear streams, and peaceful lakes, there is so much to see in China. Food was another highlight. I got to taste local food in every place I went to. My favorite was the cuisine of Sichuan. No matter how much I ate, I never got sick of having different Chinese foods.
Traveling by bicycle was actually much less expensive than I thought. I only spent 10,000 yuan ($1,400) on food, accommodation and experiences totally. Additionally, I raised money to help support a local charity, the United Foundation for China’s Health.
By the end of my journey, I wanted to keep going. It was truly an experience I will never forget. I would highly recommend going by bicycle!

（22-23高一下·四川凉山·期末）Earthquakes are common natural disasters. No matter where you are, knowing how to protect yourself and your family during an earthquake is necessary.
Some experts believe that when you feel the ground is shaking, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. Most earthquake injuries are the result of being hit by something falling on you. You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you are outdoors, don’t stay near buildings, trees or power lines. Many people think that in case of an earthquake, they should “get under something” like a doorway or desk, in order to avoid being hurt by falling objects. Rescue experts now say this is the wrong thing to do. For example, in the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, they found hundreds of children in schools, crushed by their desks. However, they could have survived by lying in the aisle (通道，走道) next to their desks.
So find a nice piece of furniture, a chair, a sofa, and lie down, or curl up next to it. A falling roof may compact (压实) the furniture, but will still leave a space for you to survive next to it. This also holds true if you are in a hotel room, especially at night. Get off the bed, and lie down next to it.
In San Francisco’s 1989 earthquake, the upper freeway fell on the lower one. People who drove along were crushed in their cars. But they had time to get out and lie down next to their cars. Yes, their cars were crushed, but there was space from top to bottom next to the vehicles for people to survive and wait a rescue.
Doorways and stairways are very unsafe. Stay away from those.
What can we do to keep ourselves safe Staying calm is the first and most important rule when facing accidents.
93．Which word can replace the underlined word “crushed” in Paragraph 2
A．hidden B．protected C．caught D．killed

2.推理判断题。第三段中“The researchers discovered that the bees that ate the spiny sunflower pollen shells had the same response as bees feeding on whole sunflower pollen. These bees had a markedly reduced risk of C. bombi infection compared to those fed sunflower metabolites.”（研究人员发现，食用带刺向日葵花粉外壳的蜜蜂与食用整个向日葵花粉的蜜蜂有相同的反应。与喂食向日葵代谢物的蜜蜂相比，这些蜜蜂感染家蚕的风险明显降低。）可推知，研究人员通过对比试验，来探究向日葵花粉壳的作用。故选B项。
3.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Habitat loss due to urbanization and agricultural intensification is the greatest threat to bumblebees”（城市化和农业集约化造成的栖息地丧失是对大黄蜂的最大威胁）可知，城市化和农业集约化导致的栖息地丧失是对大黄蜂的最大威胁。故选A项。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Through this, researchers can work towards developing new strategies to help conserve bumblebees.”（通过这种方法，研究人员可以开发新的策略来帮助保护大黄蜂。）可知，这项新研究的意义在于其为保护大黄蜂提供了新思路。故选C项。
5．B 6．C 7．A 8．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项被研究人员称为有全球性突破的新研究表明，植物并不像我们曾经认为的那样沉默。植物也会“说话”。
5．推理判断题。根据第一段“According to a new study described by researchers as a global breakthrough, plants are not as silent as we once thought they were. They do make sounds, particularly when injured or stressed—just not ones that we can hear with our ears. Researchers recorded and analyzed sounds produced by plants and discovered that they can give off clicking sounds at a volume similar to human speech, but too high for human ears to pick it up.(根据一项被研究人员称为全球突破的新研究，植物并不像我们曾经认为的那样沉默。它们确实会发出声音，尤其是在受伤或受到压力的时候——只是这些声音不是我们用耳朵能听到的。研究人员记录并分析了植物发出的声音，发现它们发出的咔哒声的音量与人类说话的音量相似，但对人类的耳朵来说太高了。
