阅读理解（15*2.5，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Each fall, millions of butterflies across the U.S. and Canada fly up to 4,000 km to central Mexico. Travelers can see the butterflies overwintering on the Western Monarch Trail, a 465-mile, road trip-friendly conservation initiative that links over a dozen stops along the route.
Helping the butterflies
Organizers of the initiative created educational courses in English and Spanish explaining the butterflies’ annual traveling and their trouble. The signs also outline ways travelers can help the butterflies recover, such as by supporting chemical-free farms and planting native nectar (花蜜) gardens.
Why butterflies fly to the California coast
Many stops in Pismo State Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove and Andrew Molera State Park, are overwintering sites where, from October to February, travelers can see thousands of butterflies gathering in forests in areas with mild temperatures.
Other sites, like the San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden and Avila Valley Barn, grow flowers that provide sugary, high-calorie food for the butterflies to eat. Butterflies settling here demonstrate how vital nectaring plants are to their survival.
How to explore the Western Monarch Trail
The butterflies’ behavior varies at different times of day and depending on the weather. In the mornings, while temperatures are still cool, step out of the cottage in the Fernwood Resort where you stay overnight, you’ll find many butterflies hanging together on the branches and trunks of trees at the overwintering sites. As the day starts to heat up -- typically by late morning or early afternoon -- you’ll be amazed at the phenomenon “sunburst” -- the butterflies start flying around in search of nearby nectar. Keep your eyes skyward. Don’t grab your camera. Just be in the moment.
31. What’s the Western Monarch Trail initiative aimed at
A. Providing a travel route. B. Encountering butterflies.
C. Promoting organic farming. D. Advocating species conservation.
32. What do we know about Andrew Molera State Park
A. It holds many nectar gardens. B. It’s pleasant throughout winter.
C. It has sufficient food for butterflies. D. It’s home to butterflies all year around.
33. What can travelers do along the Western Monarch Trail？
A. Take photos of nature as required. B. Enjoy comfortable weather all the year.
C. Witness butterflies’ different activities. D. Have accommodation with breakfast.
B
My interest in body language began with a professor of mine at university. He mentioned “Pinocchio” to me one cold morning after saying that I always rubbed my nose when giving excuses for being late to his courses. Actually, when someone tells a lie, the person’s blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy (发痒的). This little example of non-verbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert. Now, I earn my living by training people in non-verbal communication. Knowing when someone is lying and knowing how to persuade people are two of the most important skills you’ll ever learn.
I have spent a lot of time studying the ways the human body gives and they provide more reliable information than the words we speak. The words say one thing but the body may say something completely different. We know that crossed arms can be seen as either defensive or aggressive, but what about facial expressions, postures and gestures All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs.
Business companies always need my services and I try to improve their confidence by teaching them about body language. I give advice about handshakes, which should always be firm and steady, and I teach the importance of personal space. They may seem like small matters, but these codes of behaviour can be the key to making or breaking a business deal.
My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I feel that I’m providing a public service, but it is a service that has had its downside. Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living, they immediately put their guard up and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in the attempt to hide all the signals that they think I’m reading. It makes life difficult at times, but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much.
34. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning his professor
A. To describe his professor’s success.
B. To explain why he chose his career.
C. To show his professor’s study of the “Pinocchio” effect.
D. To introduce what impressed him most during his career.
35. What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A. The body language can tell the real story behind words.
B. It takes a plenty of time to study the body language.
C. Crossed arms can be regarded as an impolite way.
D. Facial expressions is important in the body language.
36. Why do people react in an unnatural way when knowing the author’s profession
A. They dislike his services. B. They think he is too proud.
C. They consider him unreliable. D. They believe he is studying them.
37. What can we learn about the author from the text
A. He thinks little of minor gestures. B. He travels the world giving advice.
C. He is rather happy with his work. D. He is good at pretending.
C
Eating a plant-based diet has been shown to be very good for your heart and your overall health. A study found that a young person could live an additional 13 years by eating more vegetables and legumes (豆类), as well as whole grains, fruit and nuts, which makes the findings of a new analysis of the diets of nearly 400,000 UK adults published Monday in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition rather shocking: eating veggies, especially cooked ones, in fact, doesn’t reduce your risk of heart disease over time.
“Our large study did not find evidence for a protective effect of vegetable intake on the occurrence of CVD (cardiovascular disease),” said Qi Feng, an epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, in a statement.
While the study found eating raw veggies could protect against heart disease, cooked vegetables did not. Any benefit went away when researchers factored in lifestyle factors such as physical activity, educational level, smoking, drinking, fruit intake, red and processed meat consumption, and use of mineral and vitamin supplements.
“Instead, our analyses show that the seemingly protective effect of vegetable intake against CVD risk is very likely to be influenced by differences in socioeconomic situation and lifestyle,” Feng said.
Don’t start celebrating yet, veggie haters. Experts in the UK and United States quickly took exception to the study’s conclusion.
“Although this study found that eating more vegetables wasn’t associated with a lower risk of heart and circulatory diseases once other lifestyle and other factors were taken into account, that doesn’t mean we should stop eating vegetables,” said Victoria Taylor, a senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, in a statement.
“The results are not surprising. Picking out one single component and assuming just adding it to the diet, e.g., vegetables, is not likely to result in the desired effect,” Alice Lichtenstein, director and senior scientist at Tufts University’s Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory, told CNN in an email.
“One thing that has become clear over the past decade is that we should not be looking at single foods or nutrients, but rather the whole dietary pattern,” said Lichtenstein.
38. What can we learn from the new study led by Feng
A. It followed some young people in UK for 13 years.
B. Its findings came as no surprise to other people.
C. It overturned the conclusion of previous studies.
D. Its purpose was to find the right vegetables for people.
39. What did Feng imply about vegetables’ protective effect
A. It was totally made up by some researchers.
B. It still held true despite some different findings.
C. It could only be achieved by living a healthy lifestyle.
D. It was a misconception caused by differences in people.
40. Which of following is closest in meaning to underlined phrase“ take exception to”
A. Think highly of. B. Voice objections to.
C. Display ignorance of. D. Take notice of.
41. Lichtenstein believes that the study ___________________.
A. should consider diverse factors B. persuades people to eat vegetables
C. lacks scientific background D. is beyond people’s imagination
D
Today’s Olympic Games are a technological marvel. Slow-motion cameras capture the milliseconds-long difference between first and second place. Wearable sensors detect clean hits in fencing or tae kwon do.
Technology and sport are tightly linked, but controversy and debate arise when technology enhances athletic performance, sometimes called “technological doping (兴奋剂).” This refers to using functional clothing or equipment to gain an unfair advantage.
Unlike drug doping, monitored by an international agency, legal clothing and equipment are decided by each sport’s organizers. It’s up to these organizers to put in place technical requirements for equipment use in their sport and enforce these requirements. But there’s no standardized rules across sports to disqualify an item based on its degree of enhancement, cost or exclusivity (排他性). Consequently, decisions to ban an item from competition are often made retroactively.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, 94% of swimming gold medals were won by athletes wearing the Speedo LZR Racer swimsuit, engineered to reduce drag. It was worn by athletes who set 23 new world records. Many labeled it technological doping, so World Aquatics later banned full-body swimsuits from competitions.
Similarly, in running race, Nike’s tailored shoe for Eliud Kipchoge, helped him achieve a sub-two-hour marathon in 2019. Its commercial version, Nike Vaporfly, led to numerous long-distance world records. These super shoes feature energy-returning midsole foam, a curved rigid plate, and a shape that rolls a runner forward, improving running economy by 4% on average. Other brands have since released super shoes, but some research suggests they don’t match Nike Vaporflys in performance. Differences in access to the best equipment have long been a source of inequality in sport, worsened by technological doping, where brand exclusivity and high costs limit access.
Andy Miah, a professor at the University of Salford, believes this technological race is natural in sport. “Resisting technology in athletics may be fruitless, as athletes’ performances are a combination of biological capability and technological training.” Miah says, “In fact, being a genius athlete is a very unnatural way of life -- but that doesn’t make it bad.”
42. What does the underlined word “retroactively” in the third paragraph most likely mean
A. Afterwards. B. Ineffectively.
C. Ahead. D. Temporarily.
43. What can we learn about the Speedo LZR Racer swimsuit in the passage
A. It was allowed in all swimming competitions after 2008.
B. It was designed to reduce drag force and improve performance.
C. It was banned before any Olympic records were broken.
D. Its fabric played the most significant role in the drag reduction.
44. How does Andy Miah seem to feel about the integration of technology in sports
A. Skeptical. B. Supportive.
C. Indifferent. D. Concerned.
45. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. A New Way to Make Money or Create Fairness
B. Doping: Helping or Harming Our Athletes
C. High Tech in Sports: Promoting or Cheating
D. AI Technology: Preventing or Promoting Fairness

The Art of Slow Reading
If you are reading this article in print, chances are that you will only get through half of what I have written. And if you are reading this online, you may not even finish a fifth. 46 They suggest that many of us no longer have the concentration to read articles through to their conclusion.
So are we getting stupider Actually, our online habits are damaging the mental power we need to process and understand textual information. Round-the-clock news makes us read from one article to the next without necessarily engaging fully with any of the content. Our reading is frequently interrupted by the noise of the latest email and we are now absorbing short bursts of words on Twitter and Facebook more regularly than longer texts. 47 But we are gradually forgetting how to sit back, think carefully, and relate all the facts to each other.
48 A desperate group of experts want us to take our time while reading, and re-reading. They ask us to switch off our computers every so often and rediscover both the joy of personal engagement with printed texts, and the ability to process them fully.
What’s to be done then Most slow readers realize that total rejection of the web is extremely unrealistic. They feel that getaway from technology for a while is the answer. 49 Personally, however, I’m not sure whether I could ever go offline for long. Even while writing this article, I am switching constantly between sites, skimming too often, absorbing too little. Internet reading has become too rooted in my daily life for me to change. I read essays and articles not in hard copy but as PDFs. I suspect that many readers are in a similar position.
50 You can download a computer application called Freedom, which allows you to read in peace by cutting off your Internet connection. Or if you want to avoid being disturbed by the Internet, you could always download offline reader Instapaper for your iPhone. If you’re still reading my article, that is slow reading.
A. The Internet is probably part of the problem.
B. Now some campaigns are advocating slow reading.
C. These are the two findings from the recent research projects.
D. But if you just occasionally want to read more slowly, help is at hand.
E. Some of them have suggested turning their computers off for one day a week.
F. Slow reading can help connect a reader to neighborhood and become popular.
G. Because of the Internet, we have become very good at collecting information.

We started our day at the local community farm. It was clear that this was not going to be a day of leisure, but a day of learning and physical labor.
Our first task was to help with the planting. We were shown how to prepare the soil, dig the holes, and place the seedlings carefully into their new homes. The process required great patience, something I’ve always struggled with. But as I watched the seedlings stand proudly in their new spots, I felt a sense of accomplishment that was hard-earned and deeply satisfying. After a quick lunch, we moved on to the next task, weeding. This was a lesson in determination and focus. The weeds were tenacious, but so were we. As we pulled and dug, I learned about the different types of weeds and how they compete with the crops for nutrients. It was fascinating to see how much care and attention goes into ensuring the health of the plants.
Today was more than just a day of physical work. It was an immersion into the world of agriculture. I learned about the dedication and hardship it takes to be a farmer. I left the farm with a newfound respect for those who work the land and provide us with the food we often take for granted.
