Chimps seldom care about others' interests.B. Chimps tend to provide food for their children.C. Chimps like to take in their neighbors' food.D. Chimps naturally share food with each other.39. Michael Tomasello's tests on young children indicate that they ______A. have the instinct to help others.B. know how to offer help to adults.C. know the world better than chimps.D. trust adults with their hands full40. The passage is mainly about ______A. the helping behaviors of young children.B. ways to train children's shared intentionality.C. cooperation as a distinctive human nature.D. the development of intelligence in children.CEl Nifio，a Spanish term for"the Christ child"，was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern，which happens every two to seven years，reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas．El Nifio sees warm water，collected over several years in the western Pacific，flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken，or sometimes the other way round．The weather effects both good and bad，are felt in many places．Rich countries gain more from powerful Nifio，on balance，than they lose．A study found that a strong Nifio in 1997 helped American's economy grow by 15 billion，partly because of better agricultural harvest，farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain．The total rise in agricultural in rich countries in growth than the fall in poor ones．But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames．A multi-year drought （干旱）in south-east Brazil is becoming worse．Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California，they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters．The most recent powerful Nino，in 1997-98，killed around 21，000 people and caused damage worth ＄36 billion around the globe．But such Ninos come with months of warning，and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare．According to the Overseas Development Institute （ODI），however，just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance，rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards．This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction．Simple improvements to infrastructure （基础设施）can reduce the spread of disease．Better sewers （下水道）make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach．Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left withoutfood and medicine after floods．According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors，civil conflict is related to El Nino's harmful effects-and the poorer the country，the stronger the link．Though the relationship may not be causal，helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people．Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino，reducing their losses needs to be the priority．41. What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1？ ______A. It is named after a South American fisherman.B. It takes place almost every year all over the world.C. It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.D. It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.42. What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected？ ______A. Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.B. Droughts become more harmful than floods.C. Rich countries' gains are greater than their losses.D. Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.43. The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that ______A. more investment should go to risk reductionB. governments of poor countries need more aidC. victims of El Nino deserve more compensationD. recovery and reconstruction should come first44. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？ ______A. To introduce El Nino and its origin.B. To explain the consequences of El Nino.C. To show ways of fighting against El Nino.D. To urge people to prepare for El Nino.DNot so long ago，most people didn't know who Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was going to become．She was just an average high school athlete．There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future．However，one person wants to change this．Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann asa track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness．Hertime were not exactly impressive，but even so，he seemed there was something trying to get out，something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed herand found her lacking．He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons．Their cooperation quickly produced results，and a few year later at Jamaica's Olympic games in early 2008，Shelly Ann，who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world，beat Jamaica's unchallenged queen of the sprint（短跑）．"Where did she come from？"asked an astonished sprinting world，before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time，only to disappear again without signs．But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder．At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold．She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Briton，becoming world champion with a time of 10.73---the fourth record ever．Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile．She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance．Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless．She grew up in one of Jamaica's toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse，where she lived in a one-room apartment，sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers．Waterhouse，one of the poorest communities in Jamaica，is a really violent and overpopulated place．Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings；one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived．Sometimes her family didn't have enough to eat．She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn't afford shoes．Her mother Maxime，one of a family of fourteen，had been an athlete herself as a young girl but，like so many other girls in Waterhouse，had to stop after she had her first baby．Maxime's early entry in to the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty．One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track，and she was ready to sacrifice everything．It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse．On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008，all those long，hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit．The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty，surrounded by criminals and violence，had written a new chapter in the history of sports．But Shelly-Ann's victory was far greater than that．The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing，the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped．The dark cloud above one of the world's toughest criminalneighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days Shelly said．She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse．She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons．She intends to fight to make it a woman's as well as a man's world．As Muhammad Al i puts it，"Champions aren't made in gyms．Champions are made from something they have deep inside them．A desire，a dream，a vision．"One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth．45. Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann？ ______A. He had a strong desire to free her family from trouble.B. He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses.C. She had big problems maintaining her performance.D. She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets.46. What did the sprinting world think of Shelly-Ann before the 2008 Olympic Games？______A. She would become a promising star.B. She badly needed to set higher goals.C. Her sprinting career would not last long.D. Her talent for sprinting was known to all.47. What made Maxime decide to train her daughter on the track？ ______A. Her success and lessons in her career.B. Her interest in Shelly-Ann's quick profit.C. Her wish to get Shelly-Ann out of poverty.D. Her early entrance into the sprinting world.48. What can we infer from Shelly-Ann's statement underlined in Paragraph 5？ ______A. She was highly rewarded for her efforts.B. She was eager to do more for her country.C. She became an athletic star in her country.D. She was the envy of the whole community.49. By mentioning Muhammad Ali's words，the author intends to tell us that. ______A. players should be highly inspired by coachesB. great athletes need to concentrate on patienceC. hard work is necessary in one's achievementsD. motivation allows great athletes to be on the top50. What is the best title for the passage？ ______A. The Making of a Great AthleteB. The Dream for ChampionshipC. The Key to High PerformanceD. The Power of Full Responsibility.51. An Extension of the Human BrainOther people can help us compensate for our mental and emotional deficiencies （欠缺），much as a wooden leg can compensate for a physical deficiency.To be exact,other people can extend our intelligence and help us understand and adjust our emotions.When another person helps us in such ways,he or she is participating in what I've called a"social prosthetic （义肢的）system."Such systems do not need to operateface-to-face,and it's clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems.It's already a big bank of many minds.Even in its current state,the Internet has extended my memory and judgment.Regarding memory：Once I look up something on the Internet,I don't need to keep all the details for future use-I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do so.More generally,the Internet functions as if it were my memory.This function of the Internet is particularly striking when I'm writing； I'm no longer comfortable writing if I'm not connected to the Internet.It's become natural to check facts as I write,taking a minute or two to dip into PubMed,Wikipedia,or other websites. Regarding judgment：The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large.For example,when I'm writing a textbook,it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term,which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning.But more than that,I now regularly compare my views with those of many others.If I have a"new idea,"I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it,or something similar-and I then compare what I think with what others have thought.This certainly makes my own views clearer.Moreover,I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet.These effects of the Internet have become even more striking since I've begun using a smartphone.I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact,watch a video,read weibo.Such activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time （such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a lunch meeting）．But that's the upside （好处）．The downside is that in those dead periods I often would let my thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight oridea.Those opportunities are now fewer and farther between.(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)52. In recent years,internet voting has become increasing popular in China.People not only can use part-time votes themselves,but also urge others to vote for competition like the"most beautiful reaches"and the"Cutest Baby"．Li Ping,a high school student,is invited to vote in the"Best Police Officer"competition,organized by the local government to let the public have a better understanding of police officers'hardly work,Li Ping visits the website and reads all the stories.He is deeply moved by their glorious deeds.He is already thinking of becoming a policeman himself in the future.Su Hua is invited by his uncle to vote for his cousin in the"Future Singer"competition.He has already received three similar invitations this week.His uncle tells him that if his cousin wins the competition,the family will win an overseas tour for free.Su Hua likes his cousin very much,but he finds other singers perform even better.To vote,or not to vote？This is a question that troubles him very much. （写作内容）1．用约30个单词写出上文概要；2．用约120个单词阐述你对网络投票的看法，并用2-3个理由或论据支撑你的理由．（写作要求）1．写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；3．不必写标题．答案和解析1.【答案】D【解析】句意：通常情况下，对于坚持希望的人来说，任何事情都是可能的。

2024届江苏省盐城市高考英语信息卷二一、阅读理解Travel Wifi (formerly TEP Wireless) is a global company with a simple mission: to keep you connected to the Internet while traveling. They do this by providing wifi hotspot devices (for rent or purchase) that can be used on 6 different continents.About the wifi devicesThe Pocket Travel Wi devices are the size and shape of a small smartphone. The standard Hotspot Rental and The Sapphire 2 (for purchase) share a similar design with one but on and one mini-USB charging port. However, it’s important to note that these devices are not waterproof. When fully charged, they should last around 12 hours with fairly regular wifi use. Additionally, the Sapphire 2 model features indicator lights displaying signal strength and battery life.Renting vs. Buying the travel wifi deviceThe cost of purchasing a travel wifi device is $89-$109, and then you pay on top of that for data packages ($29.9 for 20 GB in a month). Most frequent travelers buy their own device for convenienceThe rental price is based on the total number of days that you’ll keep the device and how much data you want to use each day. Daily rents range from $6.9 for 1GB, $129 for 2GB to $16.9 for 3GB．Week pass ($45.9) with no data limit is also a good choice for short-term travelers. 1．What is an advantage of the travel wifi device?A．It is convenient to carry.B．It is quick to charge.C．It is resistant to water.D．It is excellent in signal2．For a 7-day UK trip, what’s the minimum rent for a Wi-Fi device?A．$6.9B．$29.9C．$45.9D．$48.33．Which group may be excluded from the intended audience?A．Regular travelers.B．People on business globally.C．Passionate surfers.D．Tourists accessing wifi abroad.Born in 1973 in Wenzhou, Jiang Shengnan is the youngest daughter in the family and hername, Shengnan, translates as “better than men”. She was a bookworm as a primary school student and often spent what she calls “a colorful day” at the school library, reading one or two books a day, absorbed in her own world.Jiang began reading ding Qing Dynasty (1644 — 1911) author Cao Xueqin’s Dream of the Red Chamber in the second l grade, when she did not even fully understand all the characters. She also loved reading history and the first historical books she read were the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms, stories that are more than 2,280 years old.In 1996, she wrote her first martial arts novel Modao Fengyun to entertain herself. In 1997, she bought a computer and typed in the manuscript (手稿), but with nowhere to publish, only family and friends read the book.Jiang focused on women, who were usually overshadowed and presented as simplified characters in Chinese literature, particularly important historical women. She realized that Chinese historical novels tended to focus on emperors, kings, and generals, and women often featured as vehicles, such as virtuous wives and good mothers.Among the 2, 000 ratings on Douban, a major review aggregator (聚合器) in China, nearly 70 percent of readers gave Jiang’s most famous novel four stars or more out of five. One reader, nicknamed Yinrendeponiang, who gave the novel four stars, commented that, “The book describes the life of China’s first empress dowager (女皇) , through a mix of fiction and history. It details her journey from birth to rule, and how the changes in her life influenced her, shaping her into a kind yet tricky yet tricky individual. She resists others’ control over her...This book not only informs us about her path to growth, but also shows how a woman can achieve success through her own efforts.”4．What can we learn about Jiang from the first two paragraphs?A．She had an extremely romantic view of life.B．Her reading choices were family-influenced.C．Her hobby was comparable to men’s early on.D．She tackled complex literature at a young age.5．Why did Jiang’s family and friends be the readers of her early works?A．To persuade her out of writing.B．To kill their time for entertainment.C．To encourage her writing enthusiasm.D．To help her find mistakes in her work.6．What is the author’s purpose of mentioning Yinrendeponiang?A．To call on women to achieve success.B．To show his dissatisfaction with the novel.C．To make comments on China’s first empress dowager.D．To demonstrate Jiang’s work is well-received on Douban.7．Which proverb can best describe Jiang’s work?A．Knowledge is power B．Women holdup half the sky.C．One good turn deserves another.D．Constant dripping wears away the stone.The male western tanager (唐纳雀) looks like a little flame, while females are less showy, a dusty yellow. In the spring, they prepare to move thousands of miles to the Mountain West of Central America, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards.To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁移动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds’ survival. “In discussing climate change, we often focus on warming,” says Scott Loss, a co-author of the study. “But the length and timing of seasons—like when winter ends and spring begins—are some of the most dramatic effects of climate change.”Loss and his colleagues used satellite imagery from 2002 to 2021 to calculate the average start of spring green-up along the typical migration routes of 150 North American bird species, then compared that timing with the current green-up. They found that spring is indeed beginning earlier along birds’ migration routes. “By contrary, previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America,” says Morgan Tingley, an ornithologist at UCLA, “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable (脆弱的).”“Part of it is knowing which species are vulnerable to various threats,” Loss says. “This adds to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide range of bird species.” And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible. “It’s really important, if we can’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.”8．What may pose a direct threat to western tanagers’ survival?A．Global warming.B．The duration of changing seasons.C．Loss of habitats due to human activities.D．Decreased access to foods during migration. 9．What is unique about the new study on birds like western tanagers?A．It covers a wider geographic range.B．It reveals the decline in bird populations.C．It centers on the adaptation of bird species.D．It ensures the existence of a timing mismatch.10．What does Loss suggest we do to safeguard migratory birds?A．Lessen the effects of climate change.B．Preserve ecosystems for bird species.C．Address emissions and habitat loss.D．Expand researches on threats to birds. 11．Where is the text most likely from?A．A scientific journal.B．A bird-watching guidebook.C．A website about climate change.D．A magazine about wildlife conservation.Computer scientist Pascale Fung can imagine a bright future in which AI helpers like ChatGPT bridge language barriers. In that world, Indonesian store owners fluent only in local dialects might reach new shoppers by listing their products online in English.“It can open opportunities,” Fung says—then pauses. She’s spotted the bias (偏好) in her vision of a more interconnected future: The AI-aided shopping would be one-sided, because few Americans would bother to use AI translation to help research products advertised in Indonesian. Fung, director of the Center for AI Research at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, who herself speaks seven languages, sees this bias in her own field. Fung would like to see Al change that, not further strengthen the primary position of English.Fung is part of a global community of AI researchers testing the language skills of ChatGPT and sounding the alarm about evidence that they are significantly less capable inlanguages other than English. “One of my biggest concerns is that we’re going to exacerbate the bias for English and English speakers,” says Thien Huu Nguyen, a University of Oregon computer scientist. “People are going to follow the norm (标准) and not think about their own identities or culture. It kills innovation.”The AI systems are good at translating other languages into English, but they struggle with rewriting English into other languages. Nguyen’s study reports that tests on ChatGPT in March showed it performed substantially (基本上) worse at answering factual questions or summarizing complex text in non-English languages and was more likely to fabricate (捏造) information. “This is an English sentence, so there is no way to translate it to Vietnamese,” the robot responded inaccurately to one question.At a US conference, Senator Alex Padilla of California asked Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT’s creator, OpenAI, which is based in the state, what his company is doing to close the language gap. About 44 percent of Californians speak language other than English.

Everyone gets angry. 16 The following strategies will help you manage it in more positive ways.Angry people tend to swear to reflect their inner thoughts. 17 For instance, instead of telling yourself,“oh, it’s awful, it’s terrible, everything’s ruined,” tell yourself, “it’s understandable that I’m upset about it, but it’s not the end of the world and getting angry is not going to fix it anyhow.”Don’t say the first thing that comes into your head, but slowdown and think carefully about what you want to say. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying and take your time before answering. At the same time, it’s natural to get defensive when you’re criticized, but don’t fight back. 18Give yourself a break. 19 One example is the working mother who has a standing rule that when she comes home from work, for the first 15 minutes “nobody talks to Mom unless the house is on fire.” After this brief quiet time, she feels better prepared to handle demands from her kids without blowing up at them.Not all anger is inappropriate, and often it’s a healthy, natural response. 20 And it disappoints us to find out that this isn’t always the case. The best attitude to bring to such a situation, then, is not to focus on finding the solution, but rather on how you handle and face the problem.A．But letting it get out of control is harmful.B．We should have a positive attitude towards anger.C．Try replacing emotional thoughts with more reasonable ones.D．There is also a cultural belief that every problem has a solution.E．That means letting go of the busy schedule and focus on the moment.F．Make sure you have some “personal time” scheduled for stressful days.G．Keeping your head can keep the situation from becoming a disastrous one.二、完形填空Kanye West is a pop star with record sales of over 140 million and 21 Grammy awards.

They can evendistinguish their mother’s voice from that of afemale stranger.But when it comes toembryonic learning (胎教),birds could rulethe roost.As recently reported in The Auk:Ornithological Advances,some mother birds may teach their young to sing even before they hatch (孵化). New-born chicks can then imitate their mom’s call within a few days of entering the world.This educational method was first observed in 2012by Sonia Kleindorfer,a biologist at Flinders University in South Australia,and her colleagues.Female Australian superb fairy wrens were found to repeat one sound over and over again while hatching their eggs.When the eggs were hatched,the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers —a sound that served as their regular “feed me!” call.To find out if the special quality was more widespread in birds, the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren, another species of Australian songbird. First they Red-backed fdirywetfis ｛包抛whl ch he in northerri and色鼻乳乌切lay three or four 且昌官自丽目time.collected sound data from67nests in four sites in Queensland before and after hatching.Then they identified begging calls by analyzing the order and number of notes. A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers and chicks, ranking them by similarity.It turns out that baby red-backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their moms.And the more frequently mothers had called to their eggs,the more similar were the babi es’ begging calls. In addition, the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the baby birds that most closely imitated their mom’s voice were rewarded with the most food.This observation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological (神经系统的) strengths of children to parents. An evolutionary inference can then be drawn. “As a parent, do you invest in quality children, or do you invest in children that are in need?” Kleindorfer asks. “Our results suggest that they might be goi ng for quality.”58．The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 means""．A．be the worst B．be the bestC．be the as bad D．be just as good59．What are Kleindorfer's findings based on？A．Similarities between the calls moms and chicks．B．The observation of fairy wrens across Australia．C．The data collected from Queensland's locals．D．Controlled experiments on wrens and other birds．60．Embryonic learning helps mother birds to identify the baby birds which．A．can receive quality signalsB．are in need of trainingC．fit the environment betterD．make the loudest call．61．（8分）CA new commodity brings about a highly profitable, fast-growing industry,urging antitrust（反垄断）regulators to step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago, the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns ares being raised by the giants（巨头）that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable.Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up.But size alone is not a crime.The giants’ success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery. Far from charging consumers high prices, many of these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data. And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves,too.But there is cause for concern. The internet has made data abundant, all-present and far more valuable, changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better.But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services:translation and visual recogni tion, to be sold to other companies. Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power.So they have a“God’s eye view”of activities in their own markets and beyond.This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves:in time, one of them would become great again. A rethink is required— and as a new approach starts to become apparent, two ideas stand out.The first is that antitrust authorities need to move form the industrial age into the 21st century. When considering a merger(兼并), for example, they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in. They now need to take into account the extent of firms’data assets(资产)when assessing the impact of deals.The purchase price could also be a signal that an established company is buying a new-born threat. When this takes place, especially when a new-born company has no revenue to speak of, the regulators should raise red flags.The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on-line services have over data and give more to those who supply them. Companies could be forced to consumers what information they hold and how many money they make form it. Governments could o rder the sharing of certain kinds of data, with users’ consent.Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy But if governments don’t wants a data economy by a few giants, they must act soon.61．Why is there a call to break up giants？A．They have controlled the data market．B．They collect enormous private data．C．They no longer provide free services．D．They dismissed some new﹣born giants．62．What does the technological innovation in Paragraph 3 indicate？A．Data giants' technology is very expensive．B．Google's idea is popular among data firms．C．Data can strengthen giants' controlling position．D．Data can be turned into new services or products．63．By paying attention to firms' data assets，antitrust regulators could．A．kill a new threatB．avoid the size trapC．favour bigger firmsD．charge higher prices64．What is the purpose of loosening the giants' control of data？A．Big companies could relieve data security pressure．B．Governments could relieve their financial pressure．C．Consumers could better protect their privacy．D．Small companies could get more opportunities．65．（12分）DOld Problem, New ApproachesWhile clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life,global warning willcontinue for some decades after CO2 emissions（排放）peak. So even if emissionswere to begin to decrease today,we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change.Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process.We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard,but to a constantly shifting set of conditions.This is why,in part at least,the US National Climate Assessment says that:“There is no‘one-size fits all’adaptation.”Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost.Around the world,people are adapting in surprising ways,especially in some poor countries. Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster.His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health clinics,and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity（连体）to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds prevent starvation during the wet season.Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken.Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphel’s inspiration c ame from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze,and was stored until the spring.His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200, 000m3of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norp hel’s i ce reserves will not last forever.Warming will overtake them.But he isproviding a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.Increasing Earth’s reflectiveness can cool the planet.In southe rn Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses(which reflect light back to space) has changed the warming trend locally,and actually cooled the region.While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This example should act as an inspiration for all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice. The outcome is still far from clear. But the World Bank has included the project on its of "100 ideas to save the planet”.More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere. A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria. Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping.But during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops.Farmers in many countries are also adapting like this—either by growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently. This is common sense.But some suggestions for adapting are not.When the polluting industries argue that we’ve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, it’s a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways.But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in that way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others.65．The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies．A．adaptation is an ever﹣changing processB．the cost of adaptation varies with timeC．global warming affects adaptation formsD．adaptation to climate change is challenging66．What is special with regard to Rezwan's project？A．The project receives government support．B．Different organizations work with each other．C．His organization makes the best of a bad situation．D．The project connects flooded roads and highways．67．What did the Ice Man do to reduce the effect of global warming？A．Storing ice for future use．B．Protecting the glaciers from melting．C．Changing the irrigation time．D．Postponing the melting of the glaciers．68．What do we learn from the Peru example？A．White paint is usually safe for buildings．B．The global warming tread cannot be stopped．C．This country is heating up too quickly．D．Sunlight reflection may relieve global warming．69．According to the author，polluting industries should．A．adapt to carbon pollutionB．plant highly profitable cropsC．leave carbon emission aloneD．fight against carbon pollution70．What's the author's preferred solution to global warming？A．Setting up a new standard．B．Reducing carbon emission．C．Adapting to climate change．D．Monitoring polluting

think．The reason for the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits，but that people have stopped dropping dead like flies．In 1900，people died at the average age of 30．By 2000 the average age was 65．But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century，declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st．Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from4.9in the early1960s to2.5nowadays．Furthermore，around50%of the world's population live in regions where the figure is now below the replacement level （i．e.2.1 births per woman）and almost all developed nations are experiencing sub ﹣replacement birth rate．You might think that developing nations would make up the loss（especially since 80% of the world's people now live in such nations），but you'd be wrong，Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions too，which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades．A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China，for instance．What does it imply？First，China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population decline hits the country．Second，if other factors such as technology remain constant，economic growth and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could invite trouble．Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise．Since 1992 the number of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by a massive 50%，Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961．Why is this occurring？Nobody is quite sure，but poor diet an above all long ﹣time alcoholism have much to do with it．If current trends don't bend．Russia's population will be about the size of Yemen's by the year 2050．In the north of India，the population is booming due to high birth rates，but in the south，where most economic development is taking place，birth rate is falling rapidly．In a further twist，birth rate is highest in poorly educated rural areas an lowest in highly educated urban areas．In total，25% of India's working﹣age population has no education．In 2030，a sixth of the country's potential work force could be totally uneducated．One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration．As for the USA，it is almost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20% from 2010﹣2030，Moreover，the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants．As a result it's likely to see a rise in the size of itsworking﹣age population and to witness strong economic growth over the longer term．Population ChangeDecline of the birth The birth

Passage 1It is predicted that by the year 2095, half the world’s languages will no longer exist. In fact, some Americans are actually welcoming the day when English will no longer be spoken in the United States.The reasons why these people wish to see the demise (消亡) of English are many and varied. In requirements, policy or law, which restrict the rights and privileges of any non-English speaker, are unfair and degrading. Its existence forces, cultures older than America itself to be thrown aside.Many countries use a second language; they are able to train all children to have a solid grounding in that second language. In America, there is no effort to teach a second language except in a few school systems(系统) where Spanish is offered. A second language for as many children as possible should be required.The fanatical(狂热的)English purists(纯粹主义者),those who are quick to point an accusing finger at those who don’t speak what they consider “correct” English, are unbearable. The poor grammar of those with a native tongue different from English is obvious. However, the fanatical English purists can often be understood no better than someone who speaks a language only from a textbook.1. According to the passage, some Americans welcome the day when English will no longer be spoken because _______.[A] they consider it unfair for non-English speakers to learn it[B] they feel policy and law should respect the rights of all languages[C] it will mean the end of American culture[D] they think the existence of English causes conflicts(冲突)2. What can we learn from the passage about other countries?[A] They require children to learn a second language.[B] They have more languages than America does.[C] They have different policies on language learning.[D] They make efforts to preserve their own languages.3. Those criticizers of others’ English ability _______.[A] speak only textbook English[B] are too strict with themselves[C] have different native tongues[D] are less tolerant than they thinkPassage 2Bilingual education programs for non-English speakers have existed in the United States since the 19th century. The high influx of immigrants fromworldwide during the 1900s further increased the demand for programs to teach children English in American schools.The most common bilingual education program is ESL (English as a Second Language), which serves the needs of non-native English speakers in public schools. The other type, developmental bilingual education, involves the use of students’ native language to teach content subjects in addition to language skills.In the 1960s and 1970s, with the nation’s enthusiasms for total bilingualism(双语能力) and multiculturalism, the concept of equal access to education for language minority students was emphasized. Federal regulations required that students be placed into a program that was appropriate to their needs.However, in the 1980s, political attitudes towards bilingual education began to change. There was a strong belief among Americans that bilingual education programs were promoting the overuse of native languages while preventing the necessary use of English. As a result, English-only policies were adopted in many states.In 2018, bilingual education programs were revived in California and Arizona. California voters overturned an old law requiring English-only instruction. Arizona voters included a provision(规定)allowing state money to pay for students learning English and other languages. These developments indicate a more inclusive attitude towards bilingual education.4. Which is the most common type of bilingual education in US public schools?[A] ESL.[B] English language study.[C] Multicultural programs.[D] Developmental bilingual programs.5. What does the underlined phrase “this provision” refer to?[A] The concept of total bilingualism.[B] The 2018 bilingual education development.[C] The attitude towards total bilingualism.[D] The use of native languages in bilingual education.6. What can we infer from the passage about bilingual education?[A] Native languages will be used less in bilingual programs.[B] The development of multiculturalism affects it greatly.[C] There has been a controversial history behind it.[D] It will be the main focus of future education reform.Passage 3The Navajo Nation is a Native American region in the southwest part of the United States. Spanning parts of three states, including Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico, it is the largest Native American reservation in the country.The Navajo language, also known as Diné Bizaad, is spoken by about 150,000 people worldwide, most of whom reside(居住)on the Navajo Nation.As the native language of the Diné people, it holds an important place in the preservation of their rich cultural heritage.In recent years, the Navajo language has faced the challenge of a gradual decline. Many young Navajos are growing up speaking English as their first language and therefore have limited exposure to Navajo. The decline in the number of fluent speakers is a concern for the Navajo Nation as it strives to keep its language from fading away.In 2009, the Navajo Nation Council announced the Navajo Language Renaissance(复兴)Act. The act aims to revitalize the Navajo language and promote its use through various programs. The Diné Bizaad Advisory Committee, for example, offers community language training and supports the development of curriculum materials.Thanks to these efforts, the Navajo language is gradually making a comeback. More Navajo children are beginning to learn it and attend bilingual schools where Navajo is the main language of instruction. The Navajo Language Renaissance Act has helped lay the foundation for the preservation of the Navajo language and culture.7. Why is the Navajo language important to the Diné people?[A] It connects them to their ancestors.[B] It represents their multicultural background.[C] It has official language status in the US.[D] It helps them communicate with other tribes.8. What has caused the Navajo language to decline in recent years?[A] A lack of resources for language education.[B] Loss of interest in the Navajo culture.[C] Limited exposure to the language.[D] The dominance of English in education.9. What do we learn about the Navajo Language Renaissance Act?[A] It aims to teach Navajo language in schools.[B] It has confronted strong opposition.[C] It was announced by the US government.[D] It has had a positive impact on the language.Passage 4The endangered language crisis is by no means limited to the United States. Around the world, there are numerous languages that are facing extinction due to various reasons. In response to this, efforts are being made to document and preserve these languages before it is too late.The Endangered Languages Project is one such effort. Launched in 2012, the project is a collaboration between Google and various linguistic organizations. Its aim is to create a database of endangered languages from around the world, offering resources and tools for researchers, students, and communities.Through the Endangered Languages Project, people can access audio recordings, texts, and other materials in endangered languages, providing a valuable resource for language preservation. Additionally, the projectencourages people to contribute their own recordings and knowledge, further enriching the database.Another initiative is the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Language Preservation(LELP). Founded in 2005, the LELP is dedicated to the documentation and revitalization of endangered languages. It works closely with native speakers, conducting fieldwork to record, describe, and analyze these languages.In New Zealand, the Māori Language Commission, Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, has made si gnificant efforts in language revitalization. Various programs and campaigns have been launched to encourage the use of theMāori language in daily life, including in education, media, and government.10. What is the purpose of the Endangered Languages Project?[A] To draw attention to the crisis facing endangered languages.[B] To provide linguistic training to researchers and students.[C] To create a database of endangered languages and resources.[D] To develop new technologies for language preservation.11. How can people contribute to the Endangered Languages Project?[A] By sharing their own knowledge and recordings.[B] By donating money to the project funding.[C] By conducting fieldwork to collect language materials.[D] By organizing campaigns for language preservation.12. What has the Māori Language Commission done for language revitalization?[A] It has conducted fieldwork to document the language.[B] It has launched programs to promote language use.[C] It has collaborated with Google on language preservation.[D] It has worked with linguistic organizations worldwide.Passage 5The decline of a language not only results in the loss of cultural traditions, but also has an impact on biodiversity(生物多样性)conservation, according to a study published in the journal PLOS ONE. Researchers have found that areas with high biodiversity are often home to diverse linguistic communities, and the loss of a language is closely related to habitat loss and decreased population sizes of local species.The study shows that languages play a vital role in the transfer of traditional knowledge about nature, including local species, habitats, and conservation practices. When a language disappears, so does the knowledge associated with it, leading to a gap in valuable ecological information.The loss of traditional knowledge can have serious consequences for biodiversity conservation efforts. Many indigenous communities have developed sustainable practices over centuries and have a deep understanding of their local ecosystems. By safeguarding indigenous languages, we can better protect and manage biodiversity.To address the issue, efforts are being made to integrate language preservation and conservation initiatives. For example, NGOs are collaborating with indigenous communities to document their languages and promote their use among younger generations. In doing so, these initiatives not only contribute to language revitalization, but also support biodiversity conservation.13. What does the study in PLOS ONE suggest about language decline?[A] It leads to a loss of cultural traditions.[B] It affects global linguistic diversity.[C] It results in habitat and species loss.[D] It is closely related to local populations.14. Why is traditional knowledge about nature important for biodiversity conservation?[A] It helps increase cultural diversity.[B] It provides ecological information.[C] It supports indigenous languages.[D] It influences conservation practices.15. How are language preservation and conservation initiatives being integrated?[A] By organizing joint conferences on the two issues.[B] By developing sustainable practices with local communities.[C] By promoting the use of indigenous languages in schools.[D] By documenting languages and supporting biodiversity conservation.第二部分：阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

"I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for thepast four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage."A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot." Mr Titterton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. "I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand," Mr Titterton said, "Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back."Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage."My husband is the worst page turner," she laughed. "He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!' Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."4. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner? ______A. Read music.B. Play the piano.C. Sing songs.D. Fix the instruments.5. Which of the following best describes Titterton's job on stage? ______A. Boring.B. Well-paid.C. Demanding.D. Dangerous.6. What does Titterton need to practise? ______A. Counting the pages.B.

He ignores the audience.C. He has no interest in music.D. He forgets to do his job.CWhen the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America,the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately,it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimatea large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl（水禽）were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations,greatly reducing waterfowl habitat （栖息地）.In 1934，with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act （Act），an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory （迁徙的）waterfowl and the wetlands so vitalto their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. "Ding" Darling,a political cartoonist from Des Moines,Iowa,who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System- a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934，better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.8. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America？A. Loss of wetlands.B. Popularity of water sports.C. Pollution of rivers.D. Arrival of other wild animals.9. What does the underlined word "decimate" mean in the first paragraph？A. Acquire.B. Export.C. Destroy.D. Distribute.10. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934？A. The stamp price has gone down.B. The migratory birds have flown away.C. The hunters have stopped hunting.D. The government has collected money.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？A. The Federal Duck Stamp StoryB. The National Wildlife Refuge SystemC. The Benefits of Saving WaterfowlD. The History of Migratory Bird HuntingDPopularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and "people skills". Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionallyintelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.12. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A. It can be measured by an IQ test.B. It helps to exercise a person's mind.C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a person's positive qualities.13. Why does the author mention "doctor" and "cheater" in Paragraph 2?A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.14. What is the author's attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A. Its appeal to the public.B. Expectations for future studies.C. Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives.My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.
