阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Here is a selection of the world's most unusual buildings that define a place through inventive ways of adapting to local environments.
The floating（流动的）homes of Lake Titicaca
More than 500 years ago, the growing Inca Empire began to occupy the Uros' mainland villages. To resist this threat, the Ums began to build the floating islands with the water-resistant plant called totora, which grows in the lake and is the lifeblood of the Uros community.
The perfect desert town: Ghadames
Ghadames is an impressive example of environmental planning. Thick walls delay the sun's eat entering a building during the day, and radiate that heat back to the sky al night. By morning, the walls have cooled again. Skillful use of available building materials achieves the maximum comfort with minimal means.
Spain's fairy-tale houses
Known as pallozas, the round houses are built from just a handful of materials: stone, wood and dry grass. Thick stone walls depending on what was available in the area block the old and conserve internal heat. Inside, the palloza's fireplaces are essential for maintaining a constant temperature, making it energy-efficient.
The Himalayas' ancient design
The structures in Himachal Pradesh were built by an ancient technique known as kath Kuni. Wood and stones create a fantastic balance. The wooden frames（框架）lessen the stress in the openings during an earthquake. Thick stones hold the whole building firmly in place .Above all, pieces of wood interlock together, which makes the structures remarkably flexible, allowing walls to move in case of an earthquake.
1. Which structure was built for defending residents against the attackers
A. The kath kuni structure. B. The floating structure.
C. The Chadames structure. D. The palloza's structure.
2. What do the houses in Ghadames and pallozas have in common
A. They are sustainable. B. They maximize internal heat.
C. They are built for luxury living. D. They're made of special materials.
3.What makes Kath kuni structures earthquake-resistant
A. The stone frames. B. The narrow openings.
C. The flexible wood. D. An interlocking system.

To Karanth, everyone in every part of the world is born with a fundamental connection to nature. Growing up in Karnataka, she began accompanying her father into the wild at just two years old. But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective on wildlife. Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people' were badly injured or killed. Karanth discovered kids wouldn't appreciate the fact that it's the best place to witness extraordinary animals.
In 2017, a conversation with her friend Gabby shifted her mindset towards education. Within half a year, Karanth and Gabby had the first version of "Wild Shaale" on their hands. A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning.
While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it's delivered effectively and consistently. "You have to visualize what these schools look like. They may not have electricity-forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything."
Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions and hopefully, behaviors." It comes down to the same things: we need food; we need water; we need space. Then they start to understand why situations of conflict arise," Karanth says. "But then how do you convince them not to gel angry, not to aet.in a way that leads to harm That's something we're trying to work on, It's not easy."
24. What problem might Karanth's hometown have faced
A. Human-wildlife conflict. B. Loss of wildlife habitats.
C. Overpopulation of elephants. Disregard for wildlife balance.
25.Why did Karanth launch the program Wild Shaale
A. To help students identify animals. B. To fill a gap in local education.
C. To change how students perceive wildlife. D. To publicize wildlife diversity.
26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The support to the plan. B. The barrier to the program.
C. The curriculum arrangement. D. The schools' conditions.
27.What is Karanth trying to achieve in the program
A.A shift in humans' attitudes and behavior.
B.A breakthrough in environmental studies.
C. Appropriate ways to end local conflicts.
D. Approaches to changing animal behavior.
C
Olympic athletes pour everything into training for the Games, routinely pushing their physical and mental bounds to the limit-and beyond-for a shot at a gold medal. Yet they are often accompanied by an emotional comedown.
Emotions are heightened by the nature of the event itself. The Olympias is a massive cultural event-a combination of global public attention, financial investment and media coverage. New international celebrities are created, and some competitors' reputations are ruined during various accusations. Athletes are under the pressure of representing their country and winning medals in front of worldwide audience. "But then all of that publicity and intensity around being an Olympian falls off very quickly," says Cogan, a lead sport psychologist. It's more about making a map of how to get to a destination. Once you get there, it's like, "Now what ”
A 2023 paper explained the identity crises athletes face as a result of overfocus on performance, leaving their non-sporting personalities underdeveloped. In a 2018 paper, Howells wrote that athletes with a greater "myopia” focus are mare at risk of the "blues". "It is common for top competitors to have this very high athletic identity," says Howells. "They've sacrificed（牺牲）every other aspects of their identity for the purpose of being an Olympian. They seem unable to realize that their actions might have negative consequences in the future."
Efforts to minimize this mindset have helped some athletes to open up more about their mental health. Experts advise Olympians to start conversations about mental health support well before the Games begin. Olympians should also discuss mental health monitoring strategies before, during and after the Games. Athletes and experts say the sporting industry has, in the last decade, been promoting better work-life balance outside of the game. Briana, a soccer goalkeeper, says that her team and coaches actively encourage spending quality time with families and significant others, as well as finding hobbies that feel joyful and rewarding.
28.What is the main cause for Olympic athletes' mental breakdown
A. A sense of loss. B. The pressure of competition.
C. The media coverage. D. The audience's attention.
29.What does the underlined word "myopic" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Ridiculous. B. Short-sighted. C. All-around. D. Unexpected.
30.What might be a fundamental solution to the athletes' identity crisis
A. Having higher athletic identity.
B. Discussing their problems publicly
C. Developing a sense of identity outside the sport.
D. Making greater achievements in sporting industry.
31.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. From Bad to Worse: Athletes' Well-being
B. Olympic Athletes Suffering from Stress
C. Athletes Adapting to Post-Olympie Period
D. From Hero to Zero: the Post-Olympic Blues
D
You have probably heard of the Fermi Paradox（费米悖论）.Given the high probability that alien（外星人）life exists out there in the universe， why has nobody got in touch yet？
Answers to the paradox range from the optimistic to the downright frightening. It could be that we simply haven't sent out our own traceable signatures for aliens to find us yet. Or it could be that no aliens will ever make it to the point where they are able to make contact with other species.
In Three Body Problem, Cixin Liu's science fiction, he describes the universe as a dark forest, where each alien society is like a fearful, armed hunter cautiously moving forth. If that hunter finds other life, he is left with the safest course of action: to wipe out any other lifeforms before they can do the same to him.
Being fearful contributes to humans' development. Our caution may save our lives when facing a genuine theat. "Take the initiative in the competition, and you may sleep more securely while getting extra resources," says Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer.
Thankfully, the Dark Forest has lots of issues that are difficult to resolve-the most obvious being that it's extremely difficult to hide a technologically advanced world. "We've never given the slightest thought to turning off all the radars（雷达）and going completely silent because it might be dangerous," says Shostak.
The forest theory also falls apart when you consider the true nature of the universe. "The distances between planets are likely to he so vast that the idea that they would feel the need to attack one another seems odd. Even if they fear each other, the expanse means that they wouldn't likely need to compete for the near-limitless resources," says Shostak.
That doesn't necessarily mean that the Dark Forest theory is a nonstarter. Addressing the holes in the theory requires adding up the terror factor. Suppose that a technological civilization is going from star to star destroying any sign of life whenever planets with life or technology are found. We don't see them because they're not there. That's the really scary thing.
32. What do we know about the Fermi Paradox
A. It denies aliens' existence. B. It is studied thoroughly.
C. Its answers vary considerably. D. Its answers are similar.
33.What can be inferred from Shostak's words in Paragraph 4
A. Fear is deadly. B. Attacks are risky.
C. Fear dominates humans' development. D. Attacks has survival value.
34. Which factor challenges the Dark Forest theory according to Shostak
A. Aliens may not understand human culture.
B. The vastness of space makes conflicts less likely.
C. Advanced civilizations tend to compete for survival.
D. Competition for resources could become more serious.
35. Why does the author make the assumption in the last paragraph
A. To prove aliens are scary. B. To find holes in the theory.
C. To add to horrible atmosphere. D. To warn us of the potential threat.

They say scuba diving opens up a world of possibilities, from learning new skills in exploring places beyond your imagination. A few years ago. I was lacky enough to experience all these on a reef dive at the Gili Islands in Indonesia.
After my first dive, I realized that it has far more in common with yoga than it does with extreme sports. On land, switching off your brain can be a struggle. Breathing is something that just happens without thinking. 36 When you're diving, it's a totally different ball game. You're suddenly aware of how your movements connect with each intake of breath.
It’s hard to feel distracted（分神的）when diving. Nature is putting on such a show-stopping performance that your attention is fully absorbed. You're right there on the stage, in the moment. 37
Something I hadn't really considered before my first scuba dive was just how human-centric our lives are on land. Everything seems to go around the human experience. But when you dive, it's a different story entirely. 38 A guest in someone else's home.
39 Almost everything in front of you is alive and part of a delicate ecosystem of life. Here, clownfish weave among the anemones（海葵）and parrotfish feed on their favorite coral（珊瑚）. 40 Nothing is ours to take or touch. Suddenly, your own world feel rather tiny and you realize you're just part of the world.
A. All of a sudden, you're the outsider.
B. Everything here has its place and purpose.
C. This is what living in the present feels like.
D. Rarely do you take the time to stop and just "be".
E. Exploring the undersea world is a humbling experience.
E. Your breathing becomes slow, purposeful and rhythmic.
G. Your heart races, your breath quickens and logical thinking goes out.

My parents live in the foothills of Santa Barbara, California. They'd been talking about wanting to set up some 41 traps, just to see what sorts of animals were wandering nearby.
Last year. I received an e-mail from my dad, under a subject line: "Secret creature " There was no body text, but attached was a(n) 42 ,just 10 seconds, shot in the night vision. It showed a tiny creature, 43 down a driveway. The animal stops midway, turns slightly and then disappears into the 44 . Watching it again, I still couldn't 45 it but noticed that the driveway looked oddly 46. It was my childhood home. I guess my parents' camera was finally 47 in our backyard.
Soon, more e-mails with more videos came in. By the end of this February, my father had 48 a pair of rabbits, plus more foxes. He had also 49 the case of the secret creature in last year’s video. It was a raccoon（浣熊）that became 50 because it lost its tail. "Can you believe it " my father laughed 51 on the telephone-he was just overjoyed about his great 52
For me, the pleasure in watching these videos was that they've turned our familiar backyard into a place full of 53 .In some sense, it serves as a 54 :even in the places we think we know best, there's always more to explore and 55 about.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式
The vocabulary of tea tasting can seem abstract to the point of poetry. When 56 (experience) tea lovers comment on a cup of tea, they might comment on its qi and yun.
In a 2021 paper, Zhang Jinghong notes that in Chinese culture, food and drink are not judged only by taste or smell. When 57 (cite) the ancient saying. "Medicine and food have the same origin", she says that the impact of food and drink on the body 58 (remain) an important factor in how Chinese perceive taste and quality. Just to name one example, common food descriptors like "hot" and "cold" do not describe specific temperatures, 59 how a dish is perceived to affect a person's inner temperature.
Keeping that 60 mind, what exactly do tea lovers mean when they talk about qi and Yun Deng Shihai, an early expert on Pu'er tea, praised its "flavorless flavor" as the highest level Pu'er can attain. If that sounds needlessly contradictory, you're not alone, but to Deng, it was a way to distinguish beginners at tea, 61 focus on taste, from experts who see tea more 62 (whole).
Qi and yun are thought to be more advanced than any simple description of taste, in part because they imply an indescribable sense of connection between people and things, and even to the 63 (broad) natural world. As Zhang notes," Qi and yun 64 (consider) to more accurately and thoroughly express what people feel when they are touched by things, and to better reflect the 65 (unit) of people and things, and people and nature."

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。
It was a sunny Friday afternoon. My assignment was to record the 400-meter race in the sports meet. All the students in our class were sitting anxiously except one, a tall handsome boy named Tommy who was considered the one most likely to win the race. Even, unlike other competitors, he was quite relaxed, standing beside the track and stretching himself.
"Tommy! I bet you'll win." I yelled at him. "Just wait and see!" A big smile spread across his face.
"May I have your attention, please All the athletes are requested to proceed to the registration office." A gentle voice caught our attention.
“Tommy, your show time!" I shouted and gave him a thumb-up.
Then, I saw all the athletes went to register, preparing for the game. Soon they were all on the starting line. Taking the best recording location, I raised my smartphone, ready to shoot.
With the loud sound of the starting gun, all the competitors threw themselves forwards from the starting line like arrows. Tommy quickly took the lead with his excellent explosive power from long-term training. But there was one problem for me-I had to spare every effort to control my excitement in order to keep my shooting picture stable.
"Come on, Tommy!" Still, I could hear the cheers of our classmates higher and higher. It seemed that Tommy had heard the powerful shouts and became full of strength. He kept adjusting his breath, maintaining a steady rhythm, and approaching the finish line step by step.
Finally, with the cheers of the audience, Tommy crossed the finish line almost at the same time with the second-place finisher. How I wish I could rush to him and give him a big bear hug! But I could not. I had to finish recording the whole race, so I waited until the last competitor crossed the finish line. Suddenly, I noticed there was an unusual noise from the crowd.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右：
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

第一节：
Good morning everyone!May I have your attention please
Last week,I conducted a survey on the difficulty degree of memorizing vocabulary.The
result reveals some striking statistics.As you can see,about 45%of students consider it is difficult
to memorize word formation.Chunks dominates the result,with an astonishing 70%of students
opting for it,while single words are the least favored,chosen by only 15%of the participants.
The data offers precious insights.In conclusion,it is essential that we should enhance our
vocabulary study and strengthen the resolve to overcome the barriers.I suggest everyone work out
specific plans and keep practicing.
第二节：
Tommy was ranked second on the scoreboard.Feeling puzzled,Tommy immediately found
the judge and pointed out this mistake politely.However,the second-place finisher insisted he was
the winner.No one could tell exactly what had happened.Tommy was at a loss what to do,feeling
frustrated.Then it suddenly occurred to me that I had recorded the whole process.Rushing to the
judge,I showed him the video,which clarified the fact that it was Tommy who first arrived
The judge admitted the error and announced Tommy was the real champion.After learning
the truth,the audience broke into thunderous applause.Tommy shouldered his way through the
crowd,gathering me in his arms with a proud smile on his face.We both knew this was not just a
victory of a race,but also a victory of sticking to the truth and daring to fight for it in the face of
injustice.
