A
Historical accounts often described the now extinct California grizzly bears as huge beasts ready to attack humans and livestock at any time. But according to a new paper, scientists say the truth might have been less dramatic. The bears ate a mostly vegetarian diet and were smaller than previously described. California grizzly bears once roamed in the Golden State. But European settlers often hunted, poisoned and trapped the creatures. Over time, because of these human activities, the California grizzly population declined. The last reliable sighting of a California grizzly bear occurred 100 years ago in 1924, and the animals disappeared completely sometime after that.
Researchers wanted to get a better understanding of the factors that accelerated the bears' extinction. They also hoped to gain more insight into the creatures' behavior, size and diet. To do so, they turned to documents and California grizzly specimens in natural history collections. They measured the animals' skulls and teeth and analyzed their bones and pelts. The researchers found that California grizzly bears were much smaller than the 2，000 pounds often reported at the time. Historical accounts might not necessarily have been wrong, but they might have only included the largest bears. In addition, analyses of the animals' bones and skins suggest the bears were primarily eating plants, which stands in contrast to their fearsome hypercarnivorous(超级食肉的) reputation. “The bears likely increased meat consumption due to landscape changes coupled with the arrival of livestock，” says study coauthor Alexis Mychajliw. However, researchers found the animals still ate a majority vegetarian diet and killed far less livestock than historical accounts suggested.
By digging beyond the bears' reputation, the researchers gained a more accurate understanding of the California grizzly's biology and natural history. And since scientists and land managers often rely on historical accounts when reintroducing animals to their former habitats, the study serves as a reminder that those old newspapers and journals do not tell the whole story.
(　　) 1. What does the underlined word “roamed” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Disappeared. B. Declined. C. Fought. D. Wandered.
(　　) 2. What did the researchers discover about California grizzly bears
A. They mainly fed on livestock.
B. Their diet consisted mostly of plants.
C. They ate a balanced diet of plants and meat.
D. The absence of livestock changed their dietary habit.
(　　) 3. What can we learn about historical accounts of animals from the last paragraph
A. They are unique.
B. They are one sided.
C. They are accurate.
D. They are comprehensive.
(　　) 4. What is the text mainly about
A. The natural habitats of California grizzly bears.
B. The extinction process of California grizzly bears.
C. The reveal of the truth of California grizzly bears.
D. The significance of the arrival of California grizzly bears.
B[2024浙江杭州九中模拟]
As a kid growing up in a suburb of London, I loved to look for the perfect park bench. Some Sunday mornings, my dad could be persuaded to drive to new parks. We'd have a kick around with a soccer ball, share a bag of Doritos and check out all the benches in the area, reading the words carved on them.
A good park bench leaves me in a state, somewhere between nostalgia(怀旧) and eager anticipation. Where once I was excited by the words carved on wood, I now find, as a 40 year old, that I'm more appreciative of each bench's quiet stoicism(坦然淡定), the way they are willing to wait out their turn in every weather, remaining available to all comers. Like a good book or piece of music, a park bench allows for a sense of solitude(独处) and community at the same time, which is crucial to life in a great city.
Part of my obsession with park benches is as spaces where history settles. By planting seeds of curiosity, and making space for reflection, park benches become doors to the past. Maybe that's the greatest power of the park bench: its capacity encourages the art of observation. A good bench catches us in our quietest, most vulnerable(脆弱的) moments, when we may be open to imagining new narratives and revisiting old ones. Our masks are taken off and hung from the bench's wrought iron. On other nearby benches, babies are being burped. Glances exchanged. Sandwiches eaten. Newspapers read.
Lately, I've found myself sitting on a lot of cramped metal benches of the kind that don't invite you to linger long, or harsh concrete ones that leave you cold. That's because public seating is becoming an endangered species. Our cities are becoming more like Disneyland, which has been quietly removing public seating and replacing it with more restaurant seating. If you want a moment's rest in 21st century America, you have to open your wallet.
One recent Sunday, I wandered through Central Park. To be in Central Park is to be reminded of the beauty of living in a city that still makes space for park benches in the modern cityscape.
(　　) 5. How did the writer lead in the topic
A. By describing the scene of the park.
B. By revealing his passion for London.
C. By showing his father's affection for him.
D. By introducing his childhood experience.
(　　) 6. What can we learn about the writer after he grew up
A. He was suffering great frustration in his 40s.
B. He enjoyed the peace in the park very much.
C. He liked the feel park benches brought to him.
D. He was still crazy about the words on the benches.
(　　) 7. Which aspect of park benches does paragraph 3 focus on
A. Design.　 B. History.　 C. Location.　 D. Power.
(　　) 8. Why is public seating becoming an endangered species
A. It is out of date.　　 B. It is uncomfortable to sit there.
C. It is commercialized. D. It is usually made of metal.

B[2025福建泉州质量监测一]
I fell in love with rhinos when I worked in a zoo in the 80s, and spent much of the next 20 years as the keeper of the largest captive(被圈养的) group of rare black rhinos.
There's a popular misconception that rhinos are aggressive and stupid, but I found them sensitive and affectionate animals. Weighing over a ton, black rhinos are unexpectedly agile(敏捷的) and have an unpredictable nature, but, given reassurance, they tend to believe people. In the past few decades, their numbers have dropped dramatically. In recent years, I've helped look after rhinos being moved to the reserve so they can form new populations in countries that have few left. Last year, I helped on a project to fly five black rhinos from a private reserve in South Africa to the Serengeti National Park. Once there, the animals had to be kept captive for a few weeks to adapt to the new environment, in which time they lived in “bomas”—wooden enclosures with “bedrooms”， designed to create a calm space.
A couple of weeks before their planned release, the sky filled with smoke. Watching the flames rushing through the bush toward the bomas, I froze. Terrified that it would catch fire, my instinct was to release the rhinos, but they hadn't yet been fitted with transmitters(发射机). If I let them out into a bush fire and they were injured, we'd have great difficulty tracking them down. So I dashed back to the bomas and called the rhinos to the bedrooms. Sensing the fear in my voice, they moved without hesitation and remained astonishingly calm. It was crucial that the rhinos didn't panic—they can easily hurt each other if they do.
That we and the rhinos had escaped safe and sound was a miracle. The teamwork of everybody there played a large part, and the rhinos were very much a part of that team. The relationships we'd built with them had proved crucial—had they or we panicked, all our work would have been in vain.
(　　) 4. What does the author think of the rhinos
A. They are trusting animals.　　　　　B. They are highly organized.
C. Their habitats are under threat.　　　D. Their adaptability needs improving.
(　　) 5. Why were bomas set up
A. To assist rhinos to settle in.　　　　 B. To boost tourism in the reserve.
C. To avoid rhinos' aggressive behavior.　 D. To stop rhinos from fleeing.
(　　) 6. How did the author rescue the rhinos
A. By setting them free.　　　　　　 B. By tracking them down.
C. By driving them into bomas.　　　 D. By fitting them with the transmitters.
(　　) 7. What contributed most to the safety of the rhinos
A. The keepers' timely alarm.
B. The inborn nature of rhinos.
C. The faith in the keepers' heart.
D. The teamwork between the keepers and the rhinos.

From: Ohio First School Board〈info@ofsb.edu〉
To: Educational Staff
Re: School Choices 20232024
Date: April 20, 2024
Dear Staff，
We have finally completed our report, analyzing school choice data so that we can plan for the future. Surveys were sent to all the parents/guardians of students in our schools, from Kindergarten to Grade 12. We heard from a good percentage of families—89% of them responded. It is important to note that a result like this means that our families are really invested in education and want to improve the system.
I've included one chart from the report. The rest of it is available on our website. There is nothing further you need to do, other than to look at the charts if you want to.
A committee has already been formed to figure out what to do with the data we now have. This committee includes the board of trustees, the chair of the school board, and several staff from the head office, as well as principals and teachers from both elementary and secondary schools.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Sincerely，
Colleen So
Chair, Ohio First School Board

Lately, it's felt like technological change has entered an incredible panies like OpenAI and Google have unveiled new Artificial Intelligence systems with incredible capabilities, making what once seemed like science fiction an everyday reality. It's an era that is raising big, existential questions for us all, about everything from the future of human existence to the future of human work.
“Things are changing so fast，” says Erik Brynjolfsson, a leading, technology focused economist based at Stanford University. As he notes, this new wave of technological change looks like it could be pretty different. Unlike before, experienced and skilled workers benefited mostly from AI technology. In this new wave, it's the less experienced and less skilled workers who benefit the most. “And that might be helpful in terms of closing some of the inequality that previous technologies actually promoted，” Erik says. So one benefit of intelligence machines is maybe they will improve the_know how_and_smarts of low performers, thereby reducing inequality.
But it's also possible that AI could lower the profit of the experienced, smart, or knowledgeable ones. AI could reduce inequality by bringing the bottom up, and it could also reduce inequality by bringing the top and middle down.
Of course, as Erik put it, it's also possible that AI could end up increasing inequality even more. For one, it could make the big AI companies, which own these powerful new systems, wildly rich. It could also empower business owners to replace more and more workers with intelligent machines. And it could kill jobs for all but the best of the best in various industries, who keep their jobs because maybe they're superstars or because maybe they have seniority.
The effects of AI, of course, are still very much being studied and these systems are evolving fast, so this is just an assumption. This machine intelligence could upend much of the previous thinking on which kinds of jobs will be affected by automation.
(　　) 4. What do the underlined words “the know how and smarts” mean in paragraph 2
A. Experience and intelligence.　　　 B. Skills and potential.
C. Capacity and experience.　　　　 D. Outlook and talents.
(　　) 5. Who will gain more in this new AI era
A. The senior with high rank.　 B. The inexperienced with low competence.
C. The learned with great credit.　 D. The poor with practical skills.
(　　) 6. Which statement will Erik probably agree with
A. The fast development of AI will promote the division of inequality.
B. AI giants will be the dominator in the future world of new AI systems.
C. The best of all walks of life will survive the competition against AI systems.
D. Lower ranking workers with little knowledge are bound to be abandoned by employers.
(　　) 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Fast Growth of the Artificial Intelligence
B. The Influence of the AI Inequality
C. The Impact of the Artificial Intelligence
D. The Future of the AI Generation

With the development of computers, an increasing number of students type with a greater than ever reliance on them to take notes and write papers. __1__ Some parents of younger students are dismayed that their children are not just encouraged but required to take laptops to class. Additionally, university professors complain of rampant(泛滥的) distraction in classrooms, with students reading and messaging instead of listening to lectures.
A line of research shows the benefits of an “innovation” that predates computers: handwriting. __2__ It includes helping students recall a random series of words and grasp complicated concepts better. For rote(死记硬背) learning, from the shapes of letters to the irregularity of English spelling, the benefits of handwriting lie in how the motor and sensory memory of putting words on paper reinforces that material.
One of the best demonstrated advantages of handwriting seems to be in superior note taking. In a study from 2014 by Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer, students typing wrote down almost twice as many words and more passages word for word from lectures. __3__ Instead, handwriting, which takes longer for nearly all university level students, forces note takers to transform ideas into their own words. __4__
Many studies have confirmed handwriting's benefits, and policymakers have taken note. __5__ In Sweden there is a push for more handwriting books and fewer electronic devices.
Although nearly all will eventually need typing skills, in an age of typing, handwriting still matters.
A. Studies have found that handwriting can improve everything.
B. This aids conceptual understanding at the moment of writing.
C. But today a different debate is raging about the dangers of typing.
D. It suggested they didn't understand the material so much as parroting it.
E. However, several schools in America have gone so far to ban most laptops.
F. Especially, studies have found that writing on paper can better students' performance.
G. For instance, about half the states in America have commanded more teaching of handwriting instruction.

A[2025河北沧州联考]
Researchers have discovered over 300 new ancient drawings in the Nazca Desert in Peru using artificial intelligence(AI) and drones(无人机). The pictures were made by the Nazca people who lived in the area over 2，000 years ago.
The Nazca Lines are a famous group of huge ancient drawings in the desert in southern Peru. These geoglyphs(地画) include many different kinds of designs, from simple shapes to pictures of animals and plants, usually drawn with a single long, winding line. Many of these lines are extremely long and can only be fully seen from the air.
Since their discovery in 1927, scientists have found around 430 geoglyphs. Now, using AI and drones, researchers have found 303 new geoglyphs in just six months. Most of the new geoglyphs are smaller than the previously discovered ones and are roughly 30 feet(9 meters) in length. Many of the new geoglyphs seem to show humans as well as animals, including some unusual scenes.
To find these new geoglyphs, scientists trained a special AI program to analyze satellite images for likely geoglyphs. After spending over 2，600 hours looking at places suggested by the AI, they took lots of pictures with drones and also worked on the ground in Peru to confirm the locations. Despite the many mistakes made by AI, the new method significantly sped up the discovery process compared to traditional methods.
Johny Isla, who is in charge of studying the Nazca Lines for Peru, noted that what used to take three or four years can now be done in two or three days. Researchers are still trying to figure out what the geoglyphs mean. Masato Sakai, who led the research, says the new discoveries are helping scientists learn more.
One significant finding is a system of paths in the Nazca Desert not far from groups of the smaller geoglyphs. The researchers believe these paths were made by the Nazca people walking through the desert, suggesting that the smaller geoglyphs were meant to be seen by travelers. The way these smaller geoglyphs are grouped together may be key to understanding them.
(　　) 1. What can we know about the Nazca Lines according to the first two paragraphs
A. They include a variety of designs.
B. They can be fully seen on the ground.
C. They were created by modern artists.
D. They were found over 2，000 years ago.
(　　) 2. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 4
A. The process of finding new geoglyphs.
B. The cultural practices of the Nazca people.
C. The historical significance of the Nazca Lines.
D. The accuracy of AI in analyzing satellite images.
(　　) 3. What does Johny Isla think of the new method using AI and drones
A. Unnecessary.　 B. Efficient.　 C. Wasteful.　 D. Flexible.
(　　) 4. What could be a suitable title for this text
A. The Mystery of the Nazca Desert
B. Ancient Art Connects the Past and Present
C. Modern Tools Help Find Ancient Nazca Lines
D. Technological Advancements in Art Creation
B[2025江苏无锡澄宜六校联考]
Science is always seen as hard core and hard to understand. But could you imagine hundreds of people being attracted by the cover of a science magazine
The achievement was completed after Wang Yixi and his team made the cover of an October issue of Structure, a US based Cell Press journal. The cover shows a Chinese ink painting that vividly shows the process in which a special enzyme(酶) involved in the biosynthesis(生物合成) of an important organic compound is activated—the latest breakthrough by a Chinese scientific research team. Another one of his popular works that carries distinctive Chinese elements is a composite image, describing a scientist as the folk goddess Nyuwa, carrying her newly discovered compound to fill a crack in the sky.
While studying chemistry at university, Wang Yixi often came across an experimental preparation process that he had to explain, but the amount of text was too large and abstract. As he had been interested in drawing, and related software like Photoshop, he decided to turn his graphics into a fine art. He went on to study 3D graphics software in order to better display the microscopic structures in his field and improve the presentation of his papers.
It didn't take long before his classmates and professors noticed his talents and asked him to help them with their papers. By word of mouth, more people beat a path to Wang's door and were willing to pay for his service. Over the past four years, Wang and his team have come up with more than 10，000 visual works for academic papers across a variety of fields, many of which have made their way to the world's top academic journals, including Nature, Science and Cell.
“Every scientific paper is innovative, and graphics are an essential part of scientific papers，” Wang says, adding that what he tries to achieve is an explanation of models or methods, to showcase experimental results, visually process data or compare differences among experiments.
(　　) 5. What plays a special role in Wang's works
A. Fairy tales. B. Chinese elements.
C. Rich colors.　 D. Complex structures.
(　　) 6. What can we learn about Wang Yixi from paragraph 3
A. He preferred painting to chemistry.
B. He developed useful mapping software.
C. He had an active mind to solve problems.
D. He had trouble conducting his experiment.
(　　) 7. How does Wang make abstract papers easily understood
A. By visualizing them vividly.　 B. By showing them accurately.
C. By explaining them in detail.　 D. By constructing them uniquely.
(　　) 8. Which is the best title for the text
A. The Power of Art　　　　 B. Dilemmas of Science
C. Mysteries of Chemistry　　 D. Inspiration from Science

【语篇导读】本文是说明文，主要介绍了关于加州灰熊的新研究发现，揭示了与历史记载不同的真相，包括它们的体型(比之前描述的小)、饮食习惯(主要为素食)等，并指出历史记载可能存在片面性，不能完全反映真实情况。
1. 词义猜测题。根据画线词下句“But European settlers often hunted … the California grizzly population declined.”可知，但欧洲殖民者经常猎杀、毒死和诱捕这些生物。随着时间的推移，由于这些人类活动，加州灰熊的数量下降了。由此可以推知，加州灰熊曾经数量很多，随处游荡。由此猜测roamed意为“游荡”，与D项Wandered同义。
2. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“analyses of the animals' bones and skins suggest the bears were primarily eating plants”可知，研究发现灰熊主要以植物为食。
3. 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中“the study serves as a reminder … the whole story”可推知，对动物的历史记录有可能是片面的，不能完全反映真实情况。
4. 文章大意题。文章开头对比了历史记载(将加州灰熊描述为巨大、随时攻击人类和牲畜的野兽)与新研究发现(灰熊主要吃素食，体型比之前描述的小)，随后详细介绍了研究过程及发现，最后指出历史记载的片面性。整体围绕“揭示加州灰熊的真实情况”展开，因此C项“加州灰熊真相的揭示”符合题意。

6. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Like a good book … is crucial to life in a great city.”可知，作者长大后喜欢公园长椅带给他的那种坦然淡定、独处与社区感并存的感觉，其中的sense是提示词。
7. 段落大意题。根据第三段中“By planting seeds of curiosity, and making space … be open to imagining new narratives and revisiting old ones.”中的关键词greatest power可知，本段主要讲的是长椅的力量。
8. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Our cities are becoming more like Disneyland, which … have to open your wallet.”可知，公共座位正成为一种“濒危物种”，是因为它已经被商业化了。

【语篇导读】本文是说明文，主要介绍了保护视力和利于眼睛健康的措施。
1. 上文谈到我们注意盐和脂肪的摄入量以保护心脏，通过锻炼和补充钙来保护骨骼，即上文列举了人们对身体的保护措施。同时根据下文“但我们能做些什么来保护我们的眼睛呢？”可知，本空应该继续列举人们对身体某个部位的保护措施，故E项“我们涂抹防晒霜来保护皮肤”符合语境。
2. 下文In fact后的内容说到“如果眼镜只是深色的，但不防紫外线，那对你的眼睛来说会更糟。一定要买可以挡住99%到100%紫外线的太阳镜”。由此可知，不防紫外线的深色墨镜不具有保护作用，G项“墨镜不一定最具有保护作用”符合语境。
3. 上文谈到其中一个原因是人们在使用屏幕期间眨眼的次数较少。由此可知此处会说明使用屏幕期间眨眼次数更少对眼睛的危害，B项“这会导致眼睛干涩”符合题意。
4. 本空是标题句。根据上文标题的结构可知，应从A、C项中选择；根据下文“吸烟是可怕的，它不仅对你的肺部有害，而且也会伤害眼睛”可知，此处主要建议要改掉抽烟这样的坏习惯；接下来，文中又指出了第二个坏习惯——揉眼睛，故C项“改掉那些坏习惯”符合语境。
5. 下文“The more you rub, the more uncomfortable your eyes will get. It can lead to infections.”指出了第二个坏习惯——揉眼睛。故D项“另外，尽量不要揉你的眼睛”符合语境。D项中的rub为原词重现。
