It’s most people’s nightmare: surviving a plane crash only to be trapped in a jungle with no way of contacting the outside world. But this was reality for four Colombian children, and in an incredible story, they survived.
The children, aged 13, 9 and 4, as well as an 11-month-old baby, were flying with their mother from their village in the Amazon to visit their father in San José del Guaviare. The single-engine plane on which they were flying experienced engine problems and disappeared on May 1, 2023. Bad weather prevented the army from finding the crash site for two weeks. where they then found the dead bodies of three adults, including the children’s mother.
How did these children survive conditions that would be an unimaginable struggle for most adults? They are members of the Huitoto Indigenous group and were raised in the jungle. As such, they have a better understanding of the rainforest. They know which fruits are safe to eat and which plants should be avoided. Working with, rather than against, the Amazon. they survived off of juan soco (a fruit similar to passion fruit) and seeds, while feeding the baby water mixed with yucca flour that they found on the plane.
While the children got on with the business of surviving, the Colombian army worked with Indigenous volunteers to find them. After 40 days of searching, the children were found and taken to recover at a military hospital in Bogota.
While many around the world have taken this survival story of resilience to be a miracle, others point out that it is the result of an ancient knowledge of the rainforest that has been passed down through Indigenous communities over the generations. Indigenous tribes have a close relationship to the Amazon, marked by a deep respect for the forest that provides them with shelter and sustenance. It is their close connection to and understanding of the rainforest that undoubtedly helped the children to survive.

C.Evolution.
D.Creation.
7. What does the author suggest from the surviving story?

The concept of “forest bathing” has long been praised for its supposed health benefits. It can improve mental health and cognitive (认知) performance, reduce blood pressure and even treat depression and anxiety. Yet forests can be hard to reach or completely inaccessible in a world where as many as 5 billion people might live in urban environments by 2030. Some scientists believe that virtual reality could offer an alternative.
VR has already been used to help distract children undergoing medical procedures, and icy virtual landscapes have eased the pain of burn victims. Could virtual forests obtain the same physiological responses as real ones?
A group of scientists at the Czech University of Life Sciences — a psychologist with researchers in the forestry department — has tested the assumption by taking a group of 15 people into the Roztocky háj nature reserve for 30-minute bathing sessions. They then used laser scanners to develop a virtual twin of the same area of forest, enhanced with audio recordings. Twenty participants, including 10 who visited the real forest, spent 30 minutes in the virtual forest. Questionnaires assessing the participants emotional states revealed no significant difference between the two experiences, according to the results. As the forestry researcher leading the project explained, “I was aware that the forest was not real. However. the experience was vivid, and it was easy for me to forget that I was in an experimental room.”
There are limitations of course. Since computer processing power is finite (有限), virtual forests have physical boundaries. Some of the participants said they felt caged when they encountered the invisible forest wall. Power constraints (结束) also mean the computer is not perfect at small details like mushrooms or insects. Nor can virtual environments imitate every sensory experience of a real forest, like the smell of damp leaves. Making other sensations, like the feel of wind would prove more complicated.
Virtual environments can also cause cybersickness, which happens when your eyes perceive motion while your body does not. That is why some people felt dizzy after the bathing sessions. Psychologists and computer scientists hope that further research with larger groups of participants will help to overcome these limitations.
8. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.The origin of forest bathing.
B.The decrease of the real forest.
C.The necessity of virtual forest bathing.
D.The expansion of urban environment.
9. How did the participants react to virtual forests?
A.They felt almost the same as the real forests.
B.They longed for staying at the virtual forests.
C.They preferred surroundings with audio recordings.
D.They felt it difficult to adapt to experimental room.
10. What can improve the user experience in virtual forests?
A.Invisible forest walls.
B.Better small details.
C.Physical boundaries.
D.Sensory from real forest.
11. A user of virtual forests may be suffering cybersickness if ________.
A.he feels curious and excited about forest bathing
B.his body isn’t used to the motion it’s experiencing
C.his psychologist or doctor gives him an examination
D.he fails to overcome the limitations of environments
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. B

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“虚拟森林浴”，介绍了参与者对虚拟森林的感受以及仍然存在的一些问题。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The concept of “forest bathing” has long been praised for its supposed health benefits. It can improve mental health and cognitive (认知) performance, reduce blood pressure and even treat depression and anxiety. Yet forests can be hard to reach or completely inaccessible in a world where as many as 5 billion people might live in urban environments by 2030. Some scientists believe that virtual reality could offer an alternative.(长期以来，“森林浴”的概念一直因其所谓的健康益处而受到称赞。它可以改善心理健康和认知能力，降低血压，甚至治疗抑郁和焦虑。然而，到2030年，世界上可能有多达50亿人生活在城市环境中，森林可能难以进入或完全无法进入。一些科学家认为，虚拟现实可以提供另一种选择)”可知，第一段的主要内容是虚拟森林浴的必要性。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I was aware that the forest was not real. However. the experience was vivid, and it was easy for me to forget that I was in an experimental room.(我意识到森林不是真的。然而。这次经历很生动，我很容易忘记自己是在一个实验室内)”可知，参与者认为虚拟森林给人的感觉和真正的森林几乎一样。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Power constraints (结束) also mean the computer is not perfect at small details like mushrooms or insects. Nor can virtual environments imitate every sensory experience
of a real forest, like the smell of damp leaves. Making other sensations, like the feel of wind would prove more complicated.(功率限制也意味着计算机在处理蘑菇或昆虫等小细节方面并不完美。虚拟环境也不能模仿真实森林的所有感官体验，比如潮湿树叶的气味。制造其他感觉，比如风的感觉，将会更加复杂)”可知，更好的小细节可以改善虚拟森林中的用户体验。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Virtual environments can also cause cybersickness, which happens when your eyes perceive motion while your body does not.(虚拟环境也会导致晕屏，当你的眼睛感知到运动而你的身体却感知不到时，就会发生晕屏)”可知，如果身体不习惯它所经历的运动，虚拟森林的用户可能会晕机。故选B。
Many scholars agree that a meaningful existence comes down to three factors: the coherence (连贯) of one’s life, the possession of clear long-term goals and the belief that one’s life matters. But we believe there is another element to consider.
Imagine the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or the scenery atop a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation, an ability to detect and admire life’s inner beauty as events happen.
To better understand this appreciation, we conducted a series of studies involving over 3,000 participants. Initially, we had participants rate their coping strategies to relieve their stress. Those managing stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. In the follow-ups, we asked them to rate the extent to which they agreed with various statements, such as “I have a great appreciation for the beauty of life” and other statements related to coherence, purpose, existential mattering. Our results showed that the more people indicated that they were “appreciating life”, the more they felt their existence valuable. In the subsequent experiment, we further explored the phenomenon by asking participants to watch an awe-inspiring video, they also reported having a greater sense of experiential appreciation and meaning in life in these moments, compared with those watching more neutral videos.
The final results confirmed our original theory: appreciating small things can make life feel more meaningful. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fastpaced, project-oriented lifestyles fill the day with targets. We are on the go, attempting to maximize our output. This makes it easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday. After all, we live in a wonderful world. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
12. Why does the author mention the admiration of butterfly?
A.To express people’s desire to enhance their life.
B.To display people’s imagination to whatever happens.
C.To indicate the openness of people to the life coherence.
D.To introduce the concept of experimental appreciation.
13. What is mainly explained in the third paragraph?
A.The participants’ life involved in the study.
B.The contribution of a long-term goal in life.
C.The theory in experiential appreciation.
D.The analysis of the belief that matters most.
14. What is challenging us to appreciate the present in our life?
A.Our modern fast-paced lifestyle.
B.The lack of opportunities.
C.Our focus on individual feelings.
D.The ignorance of future outcomes.
15. What can be the best title of the passage?
A.Enjoying a valuable coherence.
B.Finding the inner beauty of ourselves.
C.Living an active and meaningful existence.
D.Exploring the end of a significant life.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C

推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Imagine the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or the scenery atop a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential
appreciation, an ability to detect and admire life’s inner beauty as events happen.(想象一下，在漫长的冬天过后，你停下来欣赏的第一只蝴蝶，或者在一次新鲜的徒步旅行后，你在山顶上欣赏的风景。有时候，生活带给我们美好的瞬间。当人们乐于欣赏这样的经历时，这些时刻可能会增强他们对生活的看法。我们称这种元素为体验性欣赏，一种在事件发生时发现和欣赏生活内在美的能力。)”可知，作者在提到停下来欣赏蝴蝶后，就引出概念“体验性欣赏”。故选D。
【13题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fastpaced, project-oriented lifestyles fill the day with targets. We are on the go, attempting to maximize our output. This makes it easy to miss what is happening right now.(但运用这种洞察力可能很困难。我们现代、快节奏、以项目为导向的生活方式让每一天都充满了目标。我们忙得不可开交，试图使我们的产出最大化。这使得我们很容易忽略正在发生的事情。)”可知，我们现代快节奏的生活方式使我们不能去欣赏生活中的当下。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Many scholars agree that a meaningful existence comes

When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation, an ability to detect and admire life’s inner beauty as events happen.(有时候，生活带给我们美好的瞬间。当人们乐于欣赏这样的经历时，这些时刻可能会增强他们对生活的看法。我们称这种元素为体验性欣赏，一种在事件发生时发现和欣赏生活内在美的能力。)”再结合全文内容可知，文章主要讲述的是我们我们应该慢下来，让生活给我们惊喜，拥抱每一天的意义，从而活得积极而有意义。故选C。

Disconnect. While you can find plenty of uses for your phone while traveling, there are also good reasons to disconnect.

2023-2024学年山东省名校联盟高三上学期期中英语试题 With its grand castle and famous festival, Edinburgh is a tourist attraction. But Scotland’s capital isn’t just a collection of big-ticket sights. Set on a series of extinct volcanoes and blessed with charming antique alleys and grand squares, Edinburgh distinguishes itself with long history and unique tradition. Edinburgh isn’t just worth visiting. It’s worth throwing yourself into. Here’s what you need to know before you dive in. Arriving in Edinburgh Edinburgh’s airport is 13 km away from the city center. Buses (cheaper), trams (quicker when the roads are busy) and taxis (good for door-to-door drop-offs) connect the final station with the city center. If you’re arriving from outside Britain and you’re not a UK citizen, you’ll need to fill out a passenger-location form. Booking in advance can be worth it The earlier you book your accommodation, the better, especially during the festivals. The biggest shows, including the Tattoo, should be booked well in advance too. The world’s biggest arts festival Fringe takes over the city every August. If you’re going, book your accommodation months in advance and be ready to book the biggest shows early too. If you’re n ot, avoid August. Things also get pretty busy around Hogmanay (the run-up to New Year), but the madness is shorter-lived. Autumn, when the days are long and bright and the winds are generally mild, will suit most visitors best. But if you don’t mind a spot of wet weather, come in the colder months, when walking along atmospheric streets with museums and bars. What kind of currency do you need? Scotland has its own banknotes, but English notes are accepted everywhere in Scotland. Card payments are now more c ommon than cash, and they’re the easiest way to pay on public transport too—if you use cash on a bus, you’ll need exact change, or a pass is a good alternative. 1. What does Edinburgh feature as a tour city? A．A variety of unique architecture. B．A series of unnoticed fancy castles. C．A collection of big-ticket attractions. D．A combination of sights and cultures. 2. Which is the best season to experience Fringe? A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Autumn. D．Winter. 3. What kind of payment is preferred on Edinburgh’s public transport? A．Apple pay. B．Card. C．Cheque. D．Cash.

山东省嘉祥县第一中学2023-2024学年高三上学期期中考试 英语试题 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解 Here are some of the best places to visit in Europe. Ephesus, Türkiye The ancient city Ephesus, located near Selcuk in modern-day Türkiye, is the most complete classical city in Europe. The 2nd-century Library of Celsus is the most famous of the ancient metropolis’ sights, closely followed by the main thoroughfare of the Curetes Street and the vast Great Theater. Plovdiv, Bulgaria Bulgaria’s second largest city, Plovdiv shared European Capital of Culture duties with Matera in Italy in 2019. The city is one of the oldest settlements in Europe. The well-preserved 2nd-century Roman theater is one of the finest archaeological sites in eastern Europe. There’s also a rich archaeological museum. Pompeii, Italy Typically pulling in more than 2.5 million visitors a year, there’s rarely a quiet time to visit Pompeii. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth making as much time for it as possible when in southern Italy. The perfectly preserved ancient city, buried under ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, is unlike anything else in Europe. Salzburg, Austria With the Alps looming over the 11th-century Hohensalzburg Fortress and series of beautiful palaces and churches, Salzburg is arguably the most picturesque city in central Europe. Protected by UNESCO, the modern world feels pleasing elsewhere. The city’s most famous son, Mozart, draws tourists’ attention with The Sound of Music which was filmed and set here. 1．What do Ephesus and Plovdiv have in common? A．They both have a 2nd-century building.B．Their ancient theatres are still being run. C．Their old libraries are well-preserved.D．They share Capital of Culture duties together. 2．What happened in Pompeii in AD 79?
