A friend recently treated me to a preview of her planned trip to Italy. After making tea for me, she laid out the itinerary (行程) in military order — the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, Pompeii, Venice, the Appian Way, etc. By the time she was done I was worn out, and I hadn’t even set foot outside the house.
I do wish her an enjoyable journey. It’s just that my method of travel is very different. The extent of my planning is generally to identify a destination and then go there, casting fortune to the wind. This may not be for everybody, but jumping into the unknown, for me, has proven its fair share of benefits.
The examples are legion. There was Greenland, where I wound up in a small settlement without a place to stay. The locals took me in, and I had the pleasure of eating supper with three generations of an Inuit family while they entertained me with fantastic stories one would not find in any guidebook.
A few years back, driving through Iceland on a windswept day, I noticed an older woman sitting by herself at a picnic table by a waterfall. I stopped, approached her, and asked if I could sit with her. She turned out to be a fountain of knowledge about the area, which we had all to ourselves, without a tourist in sight. And there are more stories like that.
For me, travel reflects the way I perceive my own environment here in Maine, the US. Once winter comes to an end and the ice clears from the waterways, I seek out a pond, lake, or river previously unknown to me. That’s where I set my boat, and I begin to paddle (划船) with my eyes and ears open, anticipating the hidden surprises. I’m able to relate to something British explorer Richard Burton once said: “The gladdest moment in human life, methinks, is a departure into unknown lands.”
4. What made the author worn out
A. A military order.
B. His recent trip to Italy.
C. His friend’s highly detailed plan.
D. The complicated way of making tea.
5. What does the underlined word “legion“ in paragraph 3 mean
A. Numerous.
B. Appropriate.
C. Shocking.
D. Welcome.
6. How did the author probably feel sitting with the older woman
A. Anxious and helpless
B. Proud and ambitious.
C. Scared and confused.
D. Curious and grateful.
7. What is stressed in the last paragraph
A. The influence of Richard Burton.
B. The environment in Maine, the US.
C. The author’s appreciation of lands.
D. The author’s desire for the unknown.
C
It’s rare that researchers question theories that make up the backbone of whole fields. But in Evolution Evolving, Kevin Lala and four other evolutionary biologists do just that.
Their philosophically informed discussion challenges the textbook version of evolutionary theory, the natural selection of DNA mutations (突变), which arise at random. Lala and colleagues argue that how an organism develops also plays a central part in evolution. They have been advocating this extended evolutionary theory for more than a decade, adding depth to evolutionary theorizing.
The authors explain how development — influenced by the conditions in which organisms live — drives how an organism looks, behaves and evolves. To demonstrate this, they give the example of the Mexican tetra fish Astyanax mexicanus.
Some populations of A. mexicanus are blind cave fish living in darkness. Other, genetically distinct, consist of sighted, surface dwellers (栖身者). If the surface-dwelling fish are kept in total darkness for two years, they develop traits similar to those of the blind cave fish, including a better ability to store fat — beneficial in a dark environment, where the next meal is hard to come by. The stress of darkness seems to activate sets of genes that change the fishes’ development.
New traits do not arise at random. Some are more likely than others. Understanding such “developmental biases” can enable researchers to better understand how traits originate and what directions future evolution might take. As the authors put it, “evolution must proceed where development leads.”
Another aspect of evolution often ignored or downplayed by traditional evolutionists is the passing down of traits through generations in ways that do not involve variations in DNA structure. Furthermore, some organisms construct environments to benefit the development of following generations. Dung beetles, for instance, make balls of cow waste, into which they add their own waste as food, and lay a single egg. The nutrients and microbes in these balls influence how the young develop, and in turn the sizes and shapes of the beetles and how they evolve.
In my opinion, this is a fundamental shift in thinking. Rather than just studying which traits are selected, evolutionary researchers also need to establish the developmental construction and inheritance (遗传) of these traits.
8. Why is the Mexican tetra fish talked about
A. To criticize the limitations of evolution theory.
B. To compare blind cave fish and surface-dwelling fish.
C. To explain how DNA mutations occur randomly.
D. To provide evidence for developmental choices.
9. How do Dung Beetles evolve
A. By constructing nutrient-rich environments.
B. By passing down mutated genes in cow waste.
C. By varying their DNA through added microbes.
D. By selecting specific traits via natural selection.
10. What should future evolutionary research focus on
A. Identifying more random DNA mutations.
B. Providing traditional theories experiments.
C Studying what traits are selected in evolution.
D. Clarifying the development of non-genetic traits.
11. What is the article mainly about
A. Traditional evolutionary theory should be replaced.
B. The Mexican tetra fish is the result of natural selection
C. Non-DNA inheritance plays a significant role in evolution.
D Random DNA mutations remain the sole driver of evolution.
D
After 20 years of efforts, a 26-foot-tall statue of Atlas is once again standing guard at the ancient Temple of Zeus in the city of Agrigento in Sicily. The statue, created in the fifth century B.C.E., was one of 38 similar Atlas monuments built into the temple. They stood in a line between columns with their arms raised, appearing to hold the structure upright.
In Greek mythology (神话), Atlas ignored orders from Zeus, the ruler of the universe, in a war. So, he was forced to hold up the sky on his shoulders. Unlike the mythological Atlas, however, the stone likenesses were unable to hold up Zeus’ temple forever. Ultimately, earthquakes and other events caused the structure to collapse.
For many years, pieces of the statues were spread out around the site amongst other ancient ruins. In 1812, Charles Robert Cockerell, a British architect, first identified one of these sandstone heads during a visit to Agrigento. A century later, in 1920, archaeologist Pirro Marconi became the first person to attempt to reconstruct one of the Atlases, which is now housed in the Archaeological Museum of Agrigento. The seeds of the current project began in 2004, when the Valley of the Temples Park conducted a research campaign at the site.
But restoring Atlas in a standing position was particularly challenging, as researchers couldn’t simply pile the pieces of the statue on top of one another. Instead, they attached them to metal shelves, which are supported by a larger metal structure.
The restoration has faced scrutiny (审查) ever since officials first announced it several years ago. “No archaeologist would agree on the use of ancient sculpture even if the purpose is to highlight the site’s antiquity,” said C. Brian Rose, an archaeologist at the University of Pennsylvania. But offcials like Renato Schifani, the Sicilian governor, think that the statue’s restoration is a substantial and impressive achievement.
“This statue of ancient Agrigento, which after many years of studies and research we can observe in its natural position, is the heart of an important museum project of the entire area of the Temple of Zeus,” Schifani said.
12. Why did Atlas stand with his arms upright
A. It was a tradition in Greek mythology.
B. It was a sign of celebration in a war.
C It was a punishment from Zeus.
D. It was a symbol of strength.
13. What can be inferred about Marconi
A. He was a famous architect and archaeologist.
B. He made a new discovery at the Temple of Zeus.
C. He once worked with Cockerell for over a decade.
D. He was committed to restoring historical treasures.
14. Which of the following best describes Rose’s tone
A. Optimistic.
B. Disapproving.
C. Tolerant.
D. Uncaring.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. A towering statue of Atlas rises again.
B. Sicily is known for its ancient temples.
C. The existence of Atlas in history proves true.
D. The Archaeological Museum of Agrigento reopens.

47. 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。
My brother, Mat, is a skateboarder through and through. He always has been and always will be, and along with that comes determination. Anytime he falls, he gets right back up and tries again. Even when he gets hurt, he just ignores the pain and keeps skating. He has always been such an inspiration to me because of his strong determination.
One particular day, we were out in front of my grandparents’ house. Mat was determined to leap over a chair that he had placed in the street. I watched him try over and over again. Deep down, I was thinking, if he really wants to jump over that chair so badly, why doesn’t he just put down that board with wheels on it, and do it If you knew my brother, you would know that he wouldn’t stop until he successfully jumped on his skateboard over that chair many times.
I could see him sweating. As usual, it was a hot Texas day. I was worried that he would get heatstroke (中暑). Even though I was only about five, I had heard adults talk about people dying from heatstroke, and I kind of understood what it meant. I really didn’t want my living, yet hardheaded, brother to get it.
So there I was, my face cupped in my hands, sitting on the porch (走廊) of my grandparents’ house, worrying about my Mat and thinking of ways to keep him cool.
“Hey Brit, could you get me my tea ”
I replied to his request with a nod and stood up to fetch the iced tea. Even through my plastic pink slippers, I could feel the extreme heat of the concrete steps. It was burning my feet, so I quickly went inside the house.
I headed through the hallway toward Grandma’s kitchen, on a mission. As I was walking toward my grandma, hoping to surprise her, she turned around. At that moment, I heard the most frightening sound I had ever heard in my young life.
“What was that ” Grandma asked. “Did Mat scream ”
“I don’t know. I’ll go see.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式相应位置作答。
As I ran toward the front door, I had one thing on my mind — heatstroke.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After about a month in the hospital, Mat came home.

A friend recently treated me to a preview of her planned trip to Italy. After making tea for me, she laid out the itinerary (行程) in military order — the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, Pompeii, Venice, the Appian Way, etc. By the time she was done I was worn out, and I hadn’t even set foot outside the house.
I do wish her an enjoyable journey. It’s just that my method of travel is very different. The extent of my planning is generally to identify a destination and then go there, casting fortune to the wind. This may not be for everybody, but jumping into the unknown, for me, has proven its fair share of benefits.
The examples are legion. There was Greenland, where I wound up in a small settlement without a place to stay. The locals took me in, and I had the pleasure of eating supper with three generations of an Inuit family while they entertained me with fantastic stories one would not find in any guidebook.
A few years back, driving through Iceland on a windswept day, I noticed an older woman sitting by herself at a picnic table by a waterfall. I stopped, approached her, and asked if I could sit with her. She turned out to be a fountain of knowledge about the area, which we had all to ourselves, without a tourist in sight. And there are more stories like that.
For me, travel reflects the way I perceive my own environment here in Maine, the US. Once winter comes to an end and the ice clears from the waterways, I seek out a pond, lake, or river previously unknown to me. That’s where I set my boat, and I begin to paddle (划船) with my eyes and ears open, anticipating the hidden surprises. I’m able to relate to something British explorer Richard Burton once said: “The gladdest moment in human life, methinks, is a departure into unknown lands.”
4. What made the author worn out
A. A military order.
B. His recent trip to Italy.
C. His friend’s highly detailed plan.
D. The complicated way of making tea.
5 What does the underlined word “legion“ in paragraph 3 mean

C. Shocking.
D. Welcome.
6. How did the author probably feel sitting with the older woman
A. Anxious and helpless

D. Curious and grateful.
7. What is stressed in the last paragraph
A. The influence of Richard Burton.

It’s rare that researchers question theories that make up the backbone of whole fields. But in Evolution Evolving, Kevin Lala and four other evolutionary biologists do just that.
Their philosophically informed discussion challenges the textbook version of evolutionary theory, the natural selection of DNA mutations (突变), which arise at random. Lala and colleagues argue that how an organism develops also plays a central part in evolution. They have been advocating this extended evolutionary theory for more than a decade, adding depth to evolutionary theorizing.
The authors explain how development — influenced by the conditions in which organisms live — drives how an organism looks, behaves and evolves. To demonstrate this, they give the example of the Mexican tetra fish Astyanax mexicanus.
Some populations of A. mexicanus are blind cave fish living in darkness. Other, genetically distinct, consist of sighted, surface dwellers (栖身者). If the surface-dwelling fish are kept in total darkness for two years, they develop traits similar to those of the blind cave fish, including a better ability to store fat — beneficial in a dark environment, where the next meal is hard to come by. The stress of darkness seems to activate sets of genes that change the fishes’ development.
New traits do not arise at random. Some are more likely than others. Understanding such “developmental biases” can enable researchers to better understand how traits originate and what directions future evolution might take. As the authors put it, “evolution must proceed where development leads.”
Another aspect of evolution often ignored or downplayed by traditional evolutionists is the passing down of traits through generations in ways that do not involve variations in DNA structure. Furthermore, some organisms construct environments to benefit the development of following generations. Dung beetles, for instance, make balls of cow waste, into which they add their own waste as food, and lay a single egg. The nutrients and microbes in these balls influence how the young develop, and in turn the sizes and shapes of the beetles and how they evolve.
In my opinion, this is a fundamental shift in thinking. Rather than just studying which traits are selected, evolutionary researchers also need to establish the developmental construction and inheritance (遗传) of these traits.
8. Why is the Mexican tetra fish talked about
A. To criticize the limitations of evolution theory.
B. To compare blind cave fish and surface-dwelling fish.
C. To explain how DNA mutations occur randomly.
D. To provide evidence for developmental choices.
9. How do Dung Beetles evolve
A. By constructing nutrient-rich environments.
B. By passing down mutated genes in cow waste.
C. By varying their DNA through added microbes.
D. By selecting specific traits via natural selection.
10. What should future evolutionary research focus on
A. Identifying more random DNA mutations.
B. Providing traditional theories experiments.
C Studying what traits are selected in evolution.
D. Clarifying the development of non-genetic traits.
11. What is the article mainly about
A. Traditional evolutionary theory should be replaced.
B. The Mexican tetra fish is the result of natural selection
C. Non-DNA inheritance plays a significant role in evolution.
D. Random DNA mutations remain the sole driver of evolution.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了进化理论，挑战了传统的基于DNA随机突变的自然选择理论，强调了生物体发展和非DNA遗传在进化中的重要作用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The authors explain how development — influenced by the conditions in which organisms live — drives how an organism looks, behaves and evolves. To demonstrate this, they give the example of the Mexican tetra fish Astyanax mexicanus.(作者们阐述了环境如何影响生物的发育过程，进而塑造其形态、行为和进化路径。为说明这一点，他们以墨西哥盲鱼为例进行了分析)”可知，提到墨西哥盲鱼是为了为发展选择提供证据。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Furthermore, some organisms construct environments to benefit the development of following generations. Dung beetles, for instance, make balls of cow waste, into which they add their own waste as food, and lay a single egg. The nutrients and microbes in these balls influence how the young develop, and in turn the sizes and shapes of the beetles and how they evolve.(此外，一些生物会构建有利于后代发育的环境。例如，蜣螂会制作牛粪球，它们会在里面添加自己的粪便作为食物，然后产一枚卵。这些粪球中的营养物质和微生物会影响幼虫的发育，进而影响甲虫的大小、形状以及它们的进化方式)”可知，蜣螂通过构建营养丰富的环境来影响幼虫的发育，达到进化的目的。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The authors explain how development — influenced by the conditions in which organisms live — drives how an organism looks, behaves and evolves.(作者阐述了生物所处环境如何影响其发展过程，进而决定了该生物的外形特征、行为模式及进化方向)”和第六段中“Another aspect of evolution often ignored or downplayed by traditional evolutionists is the passing down of traits through generations in ways that do not involve variations in DNA structure. Furthermore, some organisms construct environments to benefit the development of following generations.(传统进化论学者常常忽视或弱化进化的另一个面向——某些特征的代际传递并不依赖DNA结构变异。更甚者，部分生物会主动构建有利于后代发育的环境)”可知，文章强调了生物所处环境和生物主动构建在生物体发展中的重要作用。结合最后一段中“In my opinion, this is a fundamental shift in thinking. Rather than just studying which traits are selected, evolutionary researchers also need to establish the developmental construction and inheritance (遗传) of these traits.(在我看来，这是思维的根本转变。进化研究人员不仅要研究哪些特征被选择，还需要确定这些特征的发展构建和遗传)”可推知，因为思维的转变，所以未来的进化研究应专注于阐明非遗传特征的发展。故选D项。

After 20 years of efforts, a 26-foot-tall statue of Atlas is once again standing guard at the ancient Temple of Zeus in the city of Agrigento in Sicily. The statue, created in the fifth century B.C.E., was one of 38 similar Atlas monuments built into the temple. They stood in a line between columns with their arms raised, appearing to hold the structure upright.
In Greek mythology (神话), Atlas ignored orders from Zeus, the ruler of the universe, in a war. So, he was forced to hold up the sky on his shoulders. Unlike the mythological Atlas, however, the stone likenesses were unable to hold up Zeus’ temple forever. Ultimately, earthquakes and other events caused the structure to collapse.
For many years, pieces of the statues were spread out around the site amongst other ancient ruins. In 1812, Charles Robert Cockerell, a British architect, first identified one of these sandstone heads during a visit to Agrigento. A century later, in 1920, archaeologist Pirro Marconi became the first person to attempt to reconstruct one of the Atlases, which is now housed in the Archaeological Museum of Agrigento. The seeds of the current project began in 2004, when the Valley of the Temples Park conducted a research campaign at the site.
But restoring Atlas in a standing position was particularly challenging, as researchers couldn’t simply pile the pieces of the statue on top of one another. Instead, they attached them to metal shelves, which are supported by a larger metal structure.
The restoration has faced scrutiny (审查) ever since officials first announced it several years ago. “No archaeologist would agree on the use of ancient sculpture even if the purpose is to highlight the site’s antiquity,” said C. Brian Rose, an archaeologist at the University of Pennsylvania. But offcials like Renato Schifani, the Sicilian governor, think that the statue’s restoration is a substantial and impressive achievement.
“This statue of ancient Agrigento, which after many years of studies and research we can observe in its natural position, is the heart of an important museum project of the entire area of the Temple of Zeus,” Schifani said.
12. Why did Atlas stand with his arms upright
A. It was a tradition in Greek mythology.
B. It was a sign of celebration in a war.
C. It was a punishment from Zeus.
D. It was a symbol of strength.
13 What can be inferred about Marconi
A. He was a famous architect and archaeologist.
B. He made a new discovery at the Temple of Zeus.
C. He once worked with Cockerell for over a decade.
D. He was committed to restoring historical treasures.
14. Which of the following best describes Rose’s tone
A. Optimistic.
B. Disapproving.
C. Tolerant.
D. Uncaring.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. A towering statue of Atlas rises again.
B. Sicily is known for its ancient temples.
C. The existence of Atlas in history proves true.
D. The Archaeological Museum of Agrigento reopens.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
My brother, Mat, is a skateboarder through and through. He always has been and always will be, and along with that comes determination. Anytime he falls, he gets right back up and tries again. Even when he gets hurt, he just ignores the pain and keeps skating. He has always been such an inspiration to me because of his strong determination.
One particular day, we were out in front of my grandparents’ house. Mat was determined to leap over a chair that he had placed in the street. I watched him try over and over again. Deep down, I was thinking, if he really wants to jump over that chair so badly, why doesn’t he just put down that board with wheels on it, and do it If you knew my brother, you would know that he wouldn’t stop until he successfully jumped on his skateboard over that chair many times.
I could see him sweating. As usual, it was a hot Texas day. I was worried that he would get heatstroke (中暑). Even though I was only about five, I had heard adults talk about people dying from heatstroke, and I kind of understood what it meant. I really didn’t want my living, yet hardheaded, brother to get it.
So there I was, my face cupped in my hands, sitting on the porch (走廊) of my grandparents’ house, worrying about my Mat and thinking of ways to keep him cool.
“Hey Brit, could you get me my tea ”
I replied to his request with a nod and stood up to fetch the iced tea. Even through my plastic pink slippers, I could feel the extreme heat of the concrete steps. It was burning my feet, so I quickly went inside the house.
I headed through the hallway toward Grandma’s kitchen, on a mission. As I was walking toward my grandma, hoping to surprise her, she turned around. At that moment, I heard the most frightening sound I had ever heard in my young life.
“What was that ” Grandma asked. “Did Mat scream ”
“I don’t know. I’ll go see.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
As I ran toward the front door, I had one thing on my mind — heatstroke.

After about a month in the hospital, Mat came home.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As I ran toward the front door, I had one thing on my mind — heatstroke. Then I saw something that will forever be burned into my mind. My big brother lay motionless on the ground. I rushed to him to see what was wrong. Grandma was far ahead of me, running as fast as she could. When she got there, she told me to wait inside. Neighbors began coming out of their houses to see what had happened. An ambulance was called immediately, and when the medical team arrived, they hurriedly took Mat to hospital.
After about a month in the hospital, Mat came home. The doctors had said he might never walk again, let alone skate. But Mat beat the odds. Driven by his determination to get better, he transformed his life. He eventually became one of the best skateboarders in our city. Mat’s experience changed my perspective on life. I now see every challenge as an opportunity for growth. I’m always looking on the bright side. And that’s the most important lesson I’ve learned from my brother — the steely determination of a skater.
