Over the years，as I dealt with the pressure of finishing my Ph.D.and starting my post-doctor，I had grown more competitive.I pushed myself to be the first to generate thrilling results and to publish in high-impact journals.Those who could have been collaborators(合作者) became rivals I hated.
But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for.When I encountered scientific problems，I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help.The pressure became overwhelming.I began to feel alone and lost.I became less and less productive.
I emailed my mentors(导师)，explaining that I had put myself second and the job first for too long.They told me that I wasn’t the first academic to feel that way，and that I wouldn’t be the last.They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take care of myself.So，with my mentors’ support and an uncertain future，I left.
Back home，I spent time with family and friends and opened up about my struggles.At first，I was ashamed.But the more I talked about my demons，the more other people told me about their own.I also started to receive emails from my workmates.After a few lines asking how I was，many expressed worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life.Vulnerable(脆弱的) researchers were poking their heads out of their shells.Our relationships deepened.I began to feel less alone.
Three months later，I was prepared to go back to the science that I loved，and I had a foundation to be more open with my colleagues.I understood that we all struggle sometimes，and that collaboration can be more powerful than competition.
With a bit of time，collaboration has replaced competition.Working with others and seeking help doesn’t weaken my value or contributions；it means we can all win.I no longer feel lonely and unhappy.
24．How did the author feel after adopting a competitive approach
A．Empowered and successful.
B．Ashamed and annoyed.
C．Motivated and productive.
D．Overwhelmed and isolated.
25．Why did the author take a break
A．He was always the last.
B．He needed some time to readjust.
C．He got serious homesickness.
D．He failed to care about himself.
26．What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 mean
A．Trying to be open with others.
B．Starting to walk out regularly.
C．Being more confident in research.
D．Tending to be happier than ever.
27．Which can be the most suitable title for the passage
A．From Competition to Cooperation
B．From Problems to Solutions
C．From Selfishness to Selflessness
D．From Uncertainty to Certainty
C
Can a machine predict the song of the summer？Can it remove forgettable flops(失败之作)？If so，such a technology could reduce music production costs and even make judges on television talent shows outdated—but after decades of “hit song science” research，predicting a successful song is still more of an art than a science.
Now researchers at Claremont Graduate University say they’ve found a way to use artificial intelligence to predict the next chart-topping song.The team tracked how participants responded as they listened to music.A machine-learning model trained on the data was then able to determine whether a song was a hit or a flop with 97 percent accuracy.
Traditionally，music industry experts looking to predict the next hit have relied on large databases to analyze the lyrical and acoustic(声音的) aspects of hit songs.But this method has performed only slightly better than a random coin toss(投掷)．For example，Hoda Khalil，a data scientist，and her workmates have analyzed data from more than 600,000 songs and found no significant connections between various acoustic features and a tune’s commercial popularity.
Rather than focusing on a song’s qualities，the Claremont team sought to explore how humans respond to music.“Songs are designed to create an emotional experience for people，and those emotions come from the brain，”says Paul Zak，senior author of the new study.
Previous attempts to use brain scans to predict hit songs had limited success.Instead of directly measuring the brain，Zak’s team equipped 33 participants with wearable sensors that monitor changes in their heart blood flow，similar to the way traditional smartwatches and fitness trackers detect heart rate.
Participants listened to 24 songs ranging from the hit “Dance Monkey” to the commercial flop “Dekario”．Their data were then fed through the commercial platform Immersion Neuroscience，co-founded by Zak.An AI model trained on these immersion signals predicted hit songs with high accuracy，the researchers reported.However，not everyone is convinced.“The study depends on the neurophysiological measure of immersion，but this measure needs further scientific study，” says Stefan Koelsch，a neuroscientist at the University of Bergen in Norway.
28．What is the possible result of the predicting technology
A．The dramatic decrease in hit songs.
B．The big rise in music production costs.
C．The declining popularity of talent shows.
D．The unemployment of TV program judges.
29．What can we say about the traditional predicting method
A．It involves little analysis.
B．It presents low accuracy.
C．It was inspired by coin tossing.
D．It was applied to composing songs.
30．How was the new study conducted
A．By inviting participants to finish questionnaires.
B．By equipping participants with smartwatches.
C．By tracing participants’ heart blood flow.
D．By scanning participants’ brain activities.
31．What is Stefan Koelsch’s attitude towards the research
A．Objective. B．Indifferent.
C．Favorable. D．Disapproving.
D
(2024·新课标Ⅰ，D)
In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct，researchers and citizen scientists have collected billions of records.Today，most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos，videos，and other digital records.Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area，a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.
“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observations of different species with the aid of a mobile application，” said Barnabas Daru，who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences.“These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens(标本)，and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change，I wanted to know：Are they usable？”
Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants，insects，birds，and animals，Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.
“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias(使有偏差) data，like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it，” said Daru.
Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage.Moreover，these data are biased and favor certain regions，time periods，and species.This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby.These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features.
What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity
“Quite a lot，” Daru explained.“Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places—and even species—that are not well-sampled.To improve the quality of observational data，biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”
32．What do we know about the records of species collected now
A．They are becoming outdated.
B．They are mostly in electronic form.
C．They are limited in number.
D．They are used for public exhibition.
33．What does Daru’s study focus on
A．Threatened species.
B．Physical specimens.
C．Observational data.
D．Mobile applications.
34．What has led to the biases according to the study
A．Mistakes in data analysis.
B．Poor quality of uploaded pictures.
C．Improper way of sampling.
D．Unreliable data collection devices.
35．What is Daru’s suggestion for biodiversity apps
A．Review data from certain areas.
B．Hire experts to check the records.
C．Confirm the identity of the users.
D．Give guidance to citizen scientists.

In the little village of Meadowbrook，surrounded with rolling hills，lived two curious and adventurous twins，Sarah and Sam.At the age of twelve，the inseparable twins were always seeking new adventures.
One morning，Miss Harper，their favorite community service teacher，was introducing community volunteer work.Sam suddenly caught sight of the hill behind the schoolyard and was instantly inspired with the idea of climbing to the top.
“Sarah，”whispered Sam.“Wouldn’t it be splendid if we climbed to the top of that hill today？It’s said to hold breathtaking views of our beloved village.”
Hearing that，Sarah’s face lit up with excitement，her heart filled with eagerness.“Oh，Sam，that sounds great！But we promise Papa and Mama we will save our pocket money and not spend a single penny unnecessarily.”With determination in their hearts，the twins worked out a plan.They decided to bring homemade snacks and refreshing drinks from their own kitchen，ensuring they wouldn’t spend a penny.
The twins set off on their journey，their backpacks filled with sandwiches，cookies，and bottles filled with cool，clear water from the village well.As they walked along the path，they noticed colorful trash scattered(散落) about，which ruined the natural beauty surrounding them.
A brilliant idea flashed into Sarah’s mind.“Why don’t we pick up the litter along the way？We could clean up our beloved countryside and maybe even earn a few coins by recycling the materials.”
Excited by the idea，the twins eagerly collected the scattered items.As they reached the foot of the hill，their bags heavy with the collected waste，they came across a recycling center.With excitement，they exchanged their findings for shiny coins.With new-found treasures in their pockets，they climbed up the hill.
When they reached the top，they were greeted by a breathtaking view of their village.“It’s so beautiful！”Sam burst out.“We must share our adventure with Miss Harper and our classmates！”

Nowadays，more and more people are experiencing pressure. For us students, most of us worry about our studies.For our parents，they are concerned about their salary to support the family.People of all ages are facing pressure because of the growing competition.Pressure does cause a lot of trouble in our daily life.We are supposed to make some plans to reduce it.From my point of view，first，we should have the right attitude towards failure and learn to face our disadvantages and mistakes correctly.No one is perfect after all.Only if we draw lessons from failure can we improve ourselves.Then，we should take enough exercise to build ourselves up. Keeping fit is the most important thing for standing up to pressure. What’s more，we can spend our holiday exploring and enjoying various attractions.Nature could help us forget all the troubles and relax. Then once we get back to our studies，we can put all our energy into it.It’s really important to reduce pressure and live a more relaxed life.

Over the years，as I dealt with the pressure of finishing my Ph.D.and starting my post-doctor，I had grown more competitive.I pushed myself to be the first to generate thrilling results and to publish in high-impact journals.Those who could have been collaborators(合作者) became rivals I hated.
But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for.When I encountered scientific problems，I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help.The pressure became overwhelming.I began to feel alone and lost.I became less and less productive.
I emailed my mentors(导师)，explaining that I had put myself second and the job first for too long.They told me that I wasn’t the first academic to feel that way，and that I wouldn’t be the last.They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take care of myself.So，with my mentors’ support and an uncertain future，I left.
Back home，I spent time with family and friends and opened up about my struggles.At first，I was ashamed.But the more I talked about my demons，the more other people told me about their own.I also started to receive emails from my workmates.After a few lines asking how I was，many expressed worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life.Vulnerable(脆弱的) researchers were poking their heads out of their shells.Our relationships deepened.I began to feel less alone.
Three months later，I was prepared to go back to the science that I loved，and I had a foundation to be more open with my colleagues.I understood that we all struggle sometimes，and that collaboration can be more powerful than competition.
With a bit of time，collaboration has replaced competition.Working with others and seeking help doesn’t weaken my value or contributions；it means we can all win.I no longer feel lonely and unhappy.

Can a machine predict the song of the summer？Can it remove forgettable flops(失败之作)？If so，such a technology could reduce music production costs and even make judges on television talent shows outdated—but after decades of “hit song science” research，predicting a successful song is still more of an art than a science.
Now researchers at Claremont Graduate University say they’ve found a way to use artificial intelligence to predict the next chart-topping song.The team tracked how participants responded as they listened to music.A machine-learning model trained on the data was then able to determine whether a song was a hit or a flop with 97 percent accuracy.
Traditionally，music industry experts looking to predict the next hit have relied on large databases to analyze the lyrical and acoustic(声音的) aspects of hit songs.But this method has performed only slightly better than a random coin toss(投掷)．For example，Hoda Khalil，a data scientist，and her workmates have analyzed data from more than 600,000 songs and found no significant connections between various acoustic features and a tune’s commercial popularity.
Rather than focusing on a song’s qualities，the Claremont team sought to explore how humans respond to music.“Songs are designed to create an emotional experience for people，and those emotions come from the brain，”says Paul Zak，senior author of the new study.
Previous attempts to use brain scans to predict hit songs had limited success.Instead of directly measuring the brain，Zak’s team equipped 33 participants with wearable sensors that monitor changes in their heart blood flow，similar to the way traditional smartwatches and fitness trackers detect heart rate.
Participants listened to 24 songs ranging from the hit “Dance Monkey” to the commercial flop “Dekario”．Their data were then fed through the commercial platform Immersion Neuroscience，co-founded by Zak.An AI model trained on these immersion signals predicted hit songs with high accuracy，the researchers reported.However，not everyone is convinced.“The study depends on the neurophysiological measure of immersion，but this measure needs further scientific study，” says Stefan Koelsch，a neuroscientist at the University of Bergen in Norway.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项可以预测歌曲是否成功的技术，解释了其研究过程以及人们对此技术的看法。
28．What is the possible result of the predicting technology
A．The dramatic decrease in hit songs.
B．The big rise in music production costs.
C．The declining popularity of talent shows.
D．The unemployment of TV program judges.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“If so，such a technology could reduce music production costs and even make judges on television talent shows outdated”可知，这项预测技术如果成功，其结果可能是电视节目评委的失业。故选D。
29．What can we say about the traditional predicting method
A．It involves little analysis.
B．It presents low accuracy.
C．It was inspired by coin tossing.
D．It was applied to composing songs.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Traditionally，music industry experts looking to predict the next hit...has performed only slightly better than a random coin toss(投掷)．”可知，传统的预测方法仅比掷硬币的结果好一点，可推知其准确率低。故选B。
30．How was the new study conducted
A．By inviting participants to finish questionnaires.
B．By equipping participants with smartwatches.
C．By tracing participants’ heart blood flow.
D．By scanning participants’ brain activities.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Instead of directly measuring the brain，Zak’s team equipped 33 participants with wearable sensors that monitor changes in their heart blood flow，similar to the way traditional smartwatches and fitness trackers detect heart rate.”可知，这项新研究通过追踪参与者的心脏血流进行。故选C。
31．What is Stefan Koelsch’s attitude towards the research
A．Objective. B．Indifferent.
C．Favorable. D．Disapproving.
答案　A

(2024·新课标Ⅰ，D)
In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct，researchers and citizen scientists have collected billions of records.Today，most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos，videos，and other digital records.Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area，a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.
“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observations of different species with the aid of a mobile application，” said Barnabas Daru，who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences.“These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens(标本)，and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change，I wanted to know：Are they usable？”
Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants，insects，birds，and animals，Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.
“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias(使有偏差) data，like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it，” said Daru.
Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage.Moreover，these data are biased and favor certain regions，time periods，and species.This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby.These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features.
What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity
“Quite a lot，” Daru explained.“Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places—and even species—that are not well-sampled.To improve the quality of observational data，biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了斯坦福大学的一项研究发现：当前生物多样性记录存在偏差，分析了造成这些偏差的原因，并在最后说明如何完善生物采样数据的科学性。
32．What do we know about the records of species collected now
A．They are becoming outdated.
B．They are mostly in electronic form.
C．They are limited in number.
D．They are used for public exhibition.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Today，most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos，videos，and other digital records.”可知，现在收集的物种记录大多是以电子形式存在的。故选B。
33．What does Daru’s study focus on
A．Threatened species.
B．Physical specimens.
C．Observational data.
D．Mobile applications.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。第二段中“These observations... I wanted to know：Are they usable？”以及第三段中“Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns”表明了Daru想要知道观测数据是否可用，并测试这些数据如何代表全球生物多样性模式。故选C。
34．What has led to the biases according to the study
A．Mistakes in data analysis.
B．Poor quality of uploaded pictures.
C．Improper way of sampling.
D．Unreliable data collection devices.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“...like the greater likelihood...right next to it”和第五段中的“Moreover，these data are biased and favor certain regions，time periods, and species.”可知，收集生物采样数据的人对于采样区域、采样时段以及采样物种的选择有一定主观性，这些不当的采样方式会导致收集到的数据产生偏差。故选C。
35．What is Daru’s suggestion for biodiversity apps
A．Review data from certain areas.
B．Hire experts to check the records.
C．Confirm the identity of the users.
D．Give guidance to citizen scientists.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。最后一段中Daru解释说生物多样性应用可以利用他们的研究结果告知用户被过度采样的区域，并引导他们前往未被充分采样的地区和物种；另外，应用也可以鼓励用户让专家确认他们上传图片的物种名称。因此，Daru建议biodiversity apps提供给采样人员一些指导意见。故选D。

63.考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处引导一个非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词clothing，并在从句中作package和offer的宾语，故填which。
64.考查名词所有格。根据句意可知，lives与people之间是所属关系，所以应用名词所有格，故填people’s。
65.考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知，mean在此处意为“意味着”，mean doing sth意为“意味着做某事”，是固定用法，故填returning。

In the little village of Meadowbrook，surrounded with rolling hills，lived two curious and adventurous twins，Sarah and Sam.At the age of twelve，the inseparable twins were always seeking new adventures.
One morning，Miss Harper，their favorite community service teacher，was introducing community volunteer work.Sam suddenly caught sight of the hill behind the schoolyard and was instantly inspired with the idea of climbing to the top.
“Sarah，”whispered Sam.“Wouldn’t it be splendid if we climbed to the top of that hill today？It’s said to hold breathtaking views of our beloved village.”
Hearing that，Sarah’s face lit up with excitement，her heart filled with eagerness.“Oh，Sam，that sounds great！But we promise Papa and Mama we will save our pocket money and not spend a single penny unnecessarily.”With determination in their hearts，the twins worked out a plan.They decided to bring homemade snacks and refreshing drinks from their own kitchen，ensuring they wouldn’t spend a penny.
The twins set off on their journey，their backpacks filled with sandwiches，cookies，and bottles filled with cool，clear water from the village well.As they walked along the path，they noticed colorful trash scattered(散落) about，which ruined the natural beauty surrounding them.
A brilliant idea flashed into Sarah’s mind.“Why don’t we pick up the litter along the way？We could clean up our beloved countryside and maybe even earn a few coins by recycling the materials.”
Excited by the idea，the twins eagerly collected the scattered items.As they reached the foot of the hill，their bags heavy with the collected waste，they came across a recycling center.With excitement，they exchanged their findings for shiny coins.With new-found treasures in their pockets，they climbed up the hill.
When they reached the top，they were greeted by a breathtaking view of their village.“It’s so beautiful！”Sam burst out.“We must share our adventure with Miss Harper and our classmates！”
