Four years ago, Alastair Driver was made director of Rewilding Britain, a charity with a mission to shake up conservation (保护) in the UK. Rewilding, in theory, is to restore land and let nature take back control. Once he got started, he fell in love with conservation all over again. Alastair’s goal is to bring the concept into widespread acceptance. “So far, he’s moving in the right direction.” The British government is including rewilding in future farming policy, he says.
If anyone knows what’s good for Britain’s wild spaces, it’s Alastair. His father was a country naturalist, so the natural world played a big role in his life from an early age. After studying ecology at university, he went on to become a conservation officer for the Thames Water Authority, where he spent 34 years preserving rivers and wetlands. Then, in 2002, Alastair took charge of the Environment Agency, shaping national policy and strategy until 2016.
Now, he believes rewilding is the next step for nature restoration in the UK and it needs to happen on a much larger scale. As such, Alastair spends most of his time travelling around the UK, meeting with landowners, advising them about the advantages of rewilding their land, and offering practical tips for getting started. In just four years, he’s seen a massive uptake in interest. In the early days, Alastair would literally ring around his contact list to get people involved; now, he can hardly cope with emails and calls coming his way. Part of this change is a reflection of the bigger environmental challenges facing mankind. “People are more aware of climate change and the biodiversity crisis,” he says.
Towards the end of 2020, with Alastair’s continuous efforts, the Rewilding Network was launched, a platform where farmers and landowners can connect, share ideas, and seek expert advice. Currently, just over 200,000 acres of land are being rewilded through the network. For Alastair, it’s a huge step in the right direction.
24. What is Alastair’s goal in rewilding
A. To regain his interest in conservation.
B. To force the government to make policies.
C. To get the idea recognized by most people.
D. To advertise the charity for more donations.
25. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. What Alastair studied in the past.
B. When Alastair started conservation.
C. How Alastair’s father influences him.
D. Why Alastair knows much about nature.
26. Why does people’s attitude towards rewilding change
A. Alastair puts efforts to promote rewilding.
B. Alastair has faith in the value of rewilding.
C. People face more severe environmental challenges.
D. People are taught measures to rewild the land.
27. What can we learn from Alastair’s story
A. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
B. Birds of a feather flock together.
C. A devoted soul can achieve his goal.
D. A man becomes learned by asking questions.
C
Like many people over the past years, I have found myself switching to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature. After days of looking at my laptop, I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my eyes are resting. My consumption of new books has doubled as a result — but a recent paper makes me wonder if this will come at the price of my comprehension. When we listen to text, it seems, we may engage in less thinking and rely more on instinct (直觉) to evaluate its content.
The study comes from Boaz Keysar and Janet Geipel, both then at the University of Chicago, and it draws from a mental process model popularized in Daniel Kahneman’s best selling book Thinking, Fast and Slow. According to this view of the mind, we have two ways of assessing information. System I is instinctive, relying on instinct and feeling. It is quick, but at the risk of misinformation and thinking mistake. System II is analytical: When it is engaged, we think our way through the materials step by step. It is more effortful but also more sensible.
Geipel and Keysar investigated whether the sensory style — seeing or hearing — of the information would make a difference. They found that it did: When answering simple but misleading questions, participants were significantly more likely to make errors when the sentences were spoken out loud rather than written. The researchers repeated the experiment with a greater range of tasks, in more diverse populations. The results were the same: when listening rather than reading, people were more likely to depend on system I.
A greater reliance on instinct could be a problem if we are consuming information that needs logical examination. If I am tackling a book about science I want to be sure I am fully engaged, not just nodding along the vague arguments. For this reason, I will return to reading non fiction with my eyes rather than my ears. But I won’t stop listening to novels. If I’m enjoying a story, I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind takes a break.
28. Why does the author prefer audiobooks
A. They provide better comprehension.
B. They allow the eyes to have a break.
C. They are cheaper than physical books.
D. They are more popular among friends.
29. What does the study conducted by Geipel and Keysar aim to investigate
A. The popularity of audiobooks.
B. The effects of visual processing.
C. The roles of sensory styles in comprehension.
D. The impact of reading on cognitive development.
30. What causes the author to return to reading non fiction with eyes
A. The need for logical analysis.
B. An interest in critical thinking.
C. A preference for visual learning.
D. The intention to improve efficiency.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards audiobooks
A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
D
Imagine you’re out for an evening walk in a foreign city, looking to find a restaurant for dinner. How to pick the best place for a much needed meal If you’re like most people, you will look for the busiest restaurant with the most diners because its popularity is bound to reflect the quality of food and service. But is this true
In tourist areas, which lack regular, local customers, the number of diners is unlikely to hold information about the quality of the meal. Instead, bigger crowds could have come about at random, and here’s why: Early diners with no meaningful cues as to which restaurant to choose may have picked their evening restaurant randomly, for example, selecting the place with the nicest name, the smiliest waiter, or the prettiest flowers on the tables. Subsequent passers by may have misinterpreted their restaurant choice as a well informed decision and blindly followed their example.
This could have resulted in a snow ball effect, whereby ever increasing numbers of customers were attracted to the restaurant in question, creating a false impression of endorsement. In this case, following the example of others could have led to a less satisfactory dinner choice in an overcrowded restaurant. This is typical of herd behavior.
Herding can appear to make a lot of sense. The so called “wisdom of crowds” suggests that average judgments of large groups of people often outperform individual choices. Furthermore, following the crowd appears to offer protection and comfort — after all, there’s “safety in numbers” — while helping to maintain a favorable reputation. Finally, following the herd reduces the effort needed to make a personal or unique decision; it is therefore an easy option.
However, herd behavior, while common and easy to explain, hold significant dangers. Contrary to the “wisdom of crowds”, which happens when the judgments of individual group members are independently collected to produce an average opinion, herd behavior typically rely on “information cascades (literally waterfalls)”, where people take on others’ beliefs or copy their choices without critically considering the reasons behind. This frequently leads to the imitation of unreasonable or simply stupid behavior.
32. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph
A. To compare local and tourist dining habits.
B. To introduce a common belief and pose a question.
C. To criticize tourists for making poor dinner choices.
D. To describe a typical evening scene in a foreign city.
33. What does the underlined word “endorsement” in paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Approval. B. Efficiency. C. Knowledge. D. Sincerity.
34. Which of the following can contribute to a better informed choice
A. Safety in numbers. B. Herd behavior.
C. Wisdom of crowds. D. Information cascades.
35. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Trusting the Majority: A Smart Strategy.
B. Following the Crowd: A Seemingly Quick Fix.
C. Eating Out in a Foreign City: A Practical Guide.
D. Imitating the Herd: An Easy and Natural Choice.

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。
Guess what — today’s computer keyboard comes from a keyboard that did have letters placed alphabetically(按字母顺序)!
In the late 1860s, an American inventor named Christopher Sholes developed the first typewriter, which had keys in alphabetical order. __36__. According to one theory, pressing the typewriter keys caused Sholes’s machine to jam. So he moved the keys around to keep the machinery from getting stuck. It’s possible that some keys were moved for this reason, but it’s not the whole story.
Here is another story: Some of the first people to try out Sholes’s typewriters were telegraph operators. Here is how an early American telegraph worked: __37__. Morse code uses a series of long and short clicks to represent each letter of the alphabet. The code would travel as an electrical pulse over wires to another telegraph. The operator on that end would then decode and write out the message by hand. This person had to work very fast.
When the typewriter came along, operators could type out a message as they decoded it. __38__ One reason was that certain letters in Morse code are similar to one another. The operators wanted those letters close together on the keyboard so they could quickly find the right key to press. Sholes likely moved at least some keys based on what worked for the operators.
__39__ The order of keys on another machine called the Hughes Printing Telegraph may have influenced Sholes’s keyboard even more.
Eventually, the keyboard transformed into what’s called “QWERTY”. __40__ Once QWERTY came about, people got used to it… and it just stuck around. It became the standard computer keyboard in the United States, and we still use it today!
A. But that’s not all!
B. People debate whether this really happened.
C. Why does the letter on today’s keyboard look so random
D. The telegraph was once commonly used for sending messages.
E. But they weren’t fans of the typewriter’s alphabetical keyboard.
F. It is named after the first six letters at the top left of the keyboard.
G. One person would use its lever like key to tap out a message in Morse code.

She taught us the true meaning of unconditional __52__ and opened our eyes to the joy of __53__ life’s surprises.

第二节（满分25分）
The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why ” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money my neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake Was he still upset with me “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer puters are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent (有能力的) computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.

Dear Editor,
Regarding the school’s plan to grade English compositions with AI assistance, I’m strongly against it.
AI can only check basic grammar and spelling mistakes, unable to judge creative ideas or emotional expression in our articles. Besides, relying on AI will reduce our communication with teachers.
Therefore, teachers should keep grading our compositions and give us face to face guidance.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节续写范文
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. I pulled myself together and started checking all network parts carefully. After repeated attempts and adjustments, I successfully set up their internet connection. Then I helped them create an online shop page, uploading photos of fresh roses and writing warm descriptions. Mr. Jackson and Grandma watched every move excitedly, full of expectation.
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. People from nearby towns placed orders continuously. Seeing piles of roses being packed for delivery, a strong sense of pride rose inside me. Mr. Jackson praised me warmly, saying my skills saved his rose business. At that moment, I realized true competence lies in facing my mistakes bravely and using my strengths to help others, getting rid of my past shame completely.
