Gilbert White made extensive observations of the natural world in the 1770s. Rather than study dead specimens, as many “naturalists” before him, White observed plants and animals in their natural settings, making him one of the early ecologists in Britain.
Because of the time at which he lived, he was not fully aware of certain phenomena such as bird migration, although he suspected such things occurred. Through his writing, many biologists were given an insight into the perception of the natural world before technological advancements.
As a keen observer of birds, he distinguished between different species based on their songs, without using telescopes. White’s observations included seasonal data, such as bud-burst and flowering of common plants, which he recorded in The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne — a collection of letters to two great scientists of the time.
This book has had more than 200 editions and is reputed to be — after the Bible, the works of Shakespeare and Pilgrim’s Progress — the fourth most published book in the English Language. It was published in 1789 and since then has never been out of print. The book contains 110 letters spanning 20 years.
In a letter, dated May 20, 1777, White discussed earthworms, stating: “Earthworms, though in appearance a small and insignificant link in the chain of nature, yet if lost, would trigger major ecological imbalance.” He also highlighted their role as promoters of vegetation, noting their activities like making holes in the soil, creating pathways, and producing beneficial waste through wormcasts (蚯蚓粪).
It is quite remarkable that here, from writings of nearly 250 years ago, White refers to many activities of earthworms that we, as scientists and gardeners, now take for granted and continue to investigate in greater detail.
24. What made Gilbert White different from previous naturalists
A. His approach to studying nature. B. His choice of observational tools.
C. His attitude to preserving species. D. His focus on controlled environments.
25. Why are the Bible and the works of Shakespeare mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To compare their historical significance.
B. To suggest their influence on White’s book.
C. To highlight the popularity of White’s book.
D. To illustrate the connections between classics.
26. What role do earthworms play in nature, according to Gilbert White
A. They improve soil health. B. They control insect populations.
C. They’re too small to impact plants. D. They’re insignificant to ecosystems.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. White could have investigated in greater detail.
B. White’s work is great enough to be referenced.
C. White linked his observations to practical uses.
D. White’s insights are still new to scientists now.
C
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have worked together with meteorologists (气象学家) to analyze more than 50,000 weather satellite images to quickly identify storms. They found comma-shaped cloud formations that often lead to severe weather such as thunderstorms.
Computers were then taught using computer vision and machine learning to automatically detect these clouds from satellite images, with almost 100 percent accuracy, in less than a minute. By refocusing meteorologists’ attention on potential storm cloud formation the AI tool helped predict 64 percent of severe weather events and beat established detection systems.
Accuweather senior meteorologist Steve Wistar said it let forecasters find storm formations in a sea of cloud data. “The calling of our business is to save lives and protect property,” he said. “The more advance notice we give to people that would be affected by a storm, the better we’re providing that service.”
Expensive supercomputers are often used to process vast amounts of data needed for accurate weather prediction. But powerful AI methods can run on smaller computers. Climate risk and planning company ClimateAi uses a machine learning technique where two neural networks fight and train each other using global weather data until they get a result. This generates highly accurate and inexpensive local forecasts for hours or days ahead. And because it is not as costly, it allows poorer countries affected by climate change to use forecasts to change the way they farm, build roads, and adapt to extreme weather.
Data analytics and technology company DTN runs a high-resolution weather forecast service providing real-time information to New York City Emergency Management among others. It uses AI for both storm and wildfire prediction, combining historical weather information, weather models, and data on geography and topography. For energy companies, that includes data on vegetation and power failures, which they then use to plan for both wildfires and outages.
“Average costs associated with extreme weather events in the United States have increased steadily since 1980,” said DTN vice president of weather operations, Renny Vandewege. “These have costly impacts on cities’ basic services, housing, human livelihoods, and health. AI helps us to calculate that risk and can be used as a preventive measure.”
28. How do researchers at Pennsylvania State University use AI to enhance storm detection
A. By collecting satellite data. B. By building weather models.
C. By identifying cloud formations. D. By examining established systems.
29. What is a major disadvantage of traditional weather forecasting compared to AI tools
A. Overreliance on weather data. B. Limited access to real-time images.
C. Inaccuracy in predicting extreme weather. D. Slower detection of severe weather events.
30. What do ClimateAi and DTN have in common
A. They use extensive data. B. They provide global forecasts.
C. They partner with governments. D. They assess weather-related costs.
31. What did Renny Vandewege highlight about AI
A. Its accessibility for non-experts. B. Its role in reducing climate risks.
C. Its use in preventing extreme weather. D. Its ability to evaluate post-disaster losses.
D
My son just completed high school, and his departure for college marks a significant change for me. Among the things I’ll miss most are his lessons in teenage slang (俚语), which has offered me an accidental and useful portrait of how he and his generation see the world.
The primary value of slang has been to create linguistic markers, a way to set you apart from other people. The terms change over time, but the meanings typically don’t — one generation’s “cool” becomes another’s “dope.”
Members of my son’s generation have a vastly superior approach to slang. They have invented a language that responds to the new and distinct reality they face, a society characterized by collapsing institutions, erosions (削弱) in trust and a loss of faith in a shared sense of meaning.
“Mid,” for example, in my son’s usage, describes things that are average or slightly below. You can’t really complain about them, but they produce no joy. Everything in Starbucks and airports falls into the category of “mid.”
“Glazed” has a similarly impressive precision, indicating the act of positively spinning a judgment on reality rather than complete lying. It is the perfect description of the way social media works, with everything taking on an artificially positive, unreal and not entirely trustworthy look. For example, beach photos on social media might make a destination look like paradise, yet they rarely show the crowded shores or bad weather that are part of the reality.
My favorite slang word is “based,” often used to express agreement when someone states a controversial opinion. “Canada should join the United States,” one might say, to which someone else might reply, “Based.” To my ear, “based” is a perfect word to describe the informational chaos we inhabit.
Slang has brought my son and me closer. It’s taught me that the current crop of teenagers created a language to describe the flawed reality we’ve abandoned them to, and in doing so they’ve proved themselves less misguided and more innovative than we were.
32. What does teenage slang reveal about young people
A. Their need to fit in with peers. B. Their response to the flawed reality.
C. Their aim to challenge social norms. D. Their desire to outdo older generations.
33. Which comment on a crowded beach reflects the underlined word “glazed”
A. “What a disaster!” B. “Not crowded at all.”
C. “A wonderful getaway!” D. “At least we found a spot.”
34. Which word best describes the tone of the text
A. Appreciative. B. Analytical.
C. Instructive. D. Cautious.
35. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Teenagers’ Fondness of Nonsense Words
B. Modern Slang Tells Us about Youth Culture
C. The Impact of Teen Slang on Social Relations
D. Teens Have Invented a Language for the World

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Travelers often fill their suitcases with souvenirs like refrigerator magnets, keychains and postcards. ___36___ Now, those visiting the Italian lakeside town of Como have another, slightly less conventional item to bring home: a sealed can of Lake Como air.
ItalyComunica, a communications company, is selling 13.5-ounce cans of “pure air from the most beautiful lake in the world” for roughly $11 (?9.90) each. ___37___ They feature a dark blue label with an illustration of a boat cruising through the water. “Open it whenever you need a moment of escape, tranquility, or simply beauty,” instructs the website. “Only those who visit Lake Como can want to buy our souvenir; memories are not bought but lived.”
Sitting at the base of the Alps, Lake Como is a large body of water in Italy’s northern Lombardy region. ___38___ Many celebrities own second homes in the surrounding area, and numerous movies have been filmed there.
___39___ Clever businesspeople have been selling similar products for decades. In mountain towns and other high-elevation destinations, “oxygen in a can” is sometimes marketed as an antidote (缓解物) to altitude sickness, despite little scientific evidence to support that claim. Any benefits from canned air are likely due to the placebo (安慰剂) effect, experts say.
Alessandro Rapinese, the mayor of Como, says that he would rather vacationers bought silk scarves, which the region is known for, or other souvenirs. However, he adds: “___40___ Just make sure to take beautiful memories of this area as well.”
A. It’s the best souvenir option.
B. It has become a popular vacation destination.
C. Souvenirs have a long and fascinating history.
D. These little items serve as reminders of their vacation.
E. If someone wants to take some air home, that’s perfectly fine.
F. The cans are marketed as “luxurious” souvenirs on the product website.
G. This is not the first time canned air has been marketed to tourists, though.

Small, spoon-shaped objects found on the end of warriors’ belts at archaeological sites across northern Europe could have been used to dispense stimulants (分配兴奋剂) before battle, a study suggests.
The widespread use of drugs in ancient Greece and Rome was ___41___ in ancient sources and supported by archaeological finds. However, this body of evidence was ___42___ for the Germanic peoples living outside the Roman Empire, and it is generally assumed that they made little ___43___ of drugs apart from alcohol.
Now, ___44___ by archaeologists offer a fresh viewpoint on these issues. Researchers identified 241 such ___45___ dating from the Roman period.

Stimulants may have been widely used to motivate soldiers to ___48___ their performance and also to reduce the stress and ___49___ caused by the war. The warriors could have used these objects to measure the right dose to ____50____ the desired effects.
Researchers then surveyed which stimulants could have been ____51____ to the Germanic communities, either plants gathered locally or ____52____ in dry form from further afield. They conclude that Germanic peoples would have had access to a wide range of substances used as stimulants. These could have been ____53____ either in liquid form or in powdered form.
Moreover, they note that to ____54____ the quantity and type of stimulants needed would have required considerable knowledge. They further believe that the stimulants were probably also used for ____55____ other than warfare, such as in medicine and rituals.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The Milky Way formed around 13.5 billion years ago, but it's not possible to travel back in time to see exactly how it ___56___ (happen). Studies of the Galaxy's ancient stars offer some clues, as do simulations (模拟), ___57___ the observable light from our home galaxy (星系) was emitted (发出) too recently ___58___ (enable) astronomers to examine its beginnings directly. One way around this problem is to study other galaxies that resemble the Milky Way. Mowla used observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to investigate ___59___ distant galaxy with a mass that matches the expected mass of the Milky Way ___60___ (short) after its formation in the early universe.
When astronomers observe distant galaxies, they see light that was emitted billions of years ago, because it takes time ___61___light to travel across space to their telescopes. ___62___ (earth) distance from such far away galaxies, and thus how long ago their light was emitted, can be measured, thanks to the constant ___63___ (expand) of the universe. As light journeys across the vastness of space, its wavelength is stretched along with the expanding fabric of space, ___64___ (make) it seem redder than it was when it was emitted. And the change in the wavelength ___65___ (determine) by the distance the light travels and the age of the universe at the time of emission.

67. 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 name is Shaquille O’Neal, but no, I am not the legendary basketball star everyone knows. My parents are big basketball fans, so they named me after him, sparking my love-hate relationship with the name. We share only our passion for basketball; he’s a tall, famous icon,while I'm a short boy who can barely dribble (运球) the ball without dropping it.
Every Saturday, the Central District’s Boys and Girls Club sponsors league-play for all age groups. My age group, 9 to 11, is the biggest. For years, I was always the last picked. “He’s too small!” Louis, a team captain, would say coldly while my teammates laughed. I’d sit on the hard bench the whole game, then lie to my dad about having fun, my heart aching to do my part for the team instead of just watching from the sidelines.
Last November, I got to play, thanks to Thanksgiving trips and flu season. I tried to make up for my poor skills by being really aggressive. I would always defend the biggest kid on the other team, and ended up with a bloody nose.
The Boys and Girls Club has a great nurse’s room. I know because I spent more time in there than on the court. The nurse was a Vietnamese lady, and because none of the kids could pronounce her name, they called her Skimmy. Skimmy didn’t know anything about basketball or any other American sports, but she was nice and had a pretty smile.
By my twelfth nosebleed, Skimmy was my friend. It was she who finally helped me become a better player. “Mr. Shaq,” she said one Saturday, “I watch you play. You always get hurt.Why do you play that way Why don’t you take advantage of what you are I watch you — you are fast. You are speedier than a meteor. Why don’t you get faster ”

【答案】
What Skimmy had said made a lot of sense: I had been so busy trying to act tough and guard the tallest players that I completely ignored my own strength — speed. For the first time, I stopped focusing on my height and poor dribbling. Instead, I started practicing running every day after school, racing along the street and practicing quick turns. I no longer tried to fight with big guys but learned to use my speed to move freely on the court. Skimmy’s words lit up a path for me, and I was determined to show my value in my own way.
The next Saturday, I stepped onto the court with a different plan. When the game began, I ran quickly across the court, stealing the ball from opponents before they could react. My speed surprised everyone, including Louis. I passed the ball accurately to teammates and helped score several times. I didn’t get hurt or sit on the bench anymore. At the end of the game, my teammates cheered for me. For the first time, I truly felt like a useful part of the team, and my heart was full of pride and joy.
