原汁原味外刊阅读及模拟强化训练We are learning more and more every dayabout just how smart some animals are: apes,octopuses, some species of birds, dogs, cats. Buthow about other animals? Snails? Mosquitos?They sure seem less smart. Still smarter than plantsthough. Because it would be difficult to argue thatplants are intelligent. Or would it?In a new study, it was shown that plants emitsounds when they are distressed. And these soundsare very different depending on whether they haverecently been cut or whether they don't haveenough water. The sounds are not audible to the human ear, as they are between 20 and 100 kilohertz, which is above the threshold of human hearing (which usually has the upper limit of 15-17 kilohertz).These are fascinating results. But we should be careful with what the study shows and what it doesn't. It is tempting to frame these results as "crying" and that is exactly what the popular science press has been doing. Plants don't suffer in silence: they are screaming with pain.This is a beautiful illustration of how easily we slip into anthropomorphizing not just animals, but also plants. Anthropomorphism is the attitude of attributing human-like features and mental states to animals (and plants). It has been widely discredited in biology as an unproductive method for finding out more about animal cognition (and also about how plants function). (A much more promising method would be the exact opposite of anthropomorphism, what could be called zoomorphism, when we attribute features and mental states that we know from the study of animals to humans.)Anthropomorphism makes it easier to relate to findings like the one about plants emitting sound —crying in distress is something that resonates with us more than the scientific language读后强化训练I. 单句语法填空1.

高考英语一轮总复习必修第一册提能训练：Unit 4 Natural DisastersⅠ.阅读理解A(2024·浙江1月高考题) On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letti ng the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail，” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weath er Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought，” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas，” Dr. Doswell says. “Doe s cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。

原汁原味外刊阅读及模拟强化训练The May Fourth YouthDay is an annual festivalfor young people from ages14 to 28 in China and isalso a special daycommemorating thepatriotic historic eventknown as the May FourthMovement that took place in 1919. As this year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Youth League of China (CYLC), despite the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic continuing to be severe in some major cities of the country, the relevant commemorations, celebrations and discussions still went viral on Wednesday.The topic "What is the spirit of the youth in this era?" received more than 17 million views on the Chinese Twitter-like social media platform Sina Weibo Wednesday, while another hashtag "Strivers in their prime" received 420 million views as of press time.Analysts said that in recent years, although there are some voices in social media platforms trying to give the youth of China labels like "the lying flat generation" -denoting a negative attitude toward challenges and difficulties, not believing in working hard and striving, and intending to give up and run away from competition -and "boomerang kids," the facts and research proved that the vast majority of Chinese youth continue to believe in working hard and striving for their own future, and now they are playing key roles in the tough fight against COVID-19 as well as in all fields and industries relevant to the country's development, and also they are a generation that the whole nation can count on.The young people in China, or Generation-Z born in the late 1990s and early 2000s, have grown up in a period of rapid development in the country and have witnessed multiple miracles the nation has created.

2009 高考英语广东卷-答案详解（有范文）完形填空详解：本文记叙了阿尔佛雷德·诺贝尔决定设立诺贝尔奖金的经过。

21. 【答案】C。

【解析】因mistake A for B （将A误以为B）是固定搭配。

22. 【答案】B。

【解析】由常识可知，报社应是“发布”消息，故用announce （give information about）。

23. 【答案】C。

【解析】由首句became a millionaire可知。

24. 【答案】A。

【解析】根据常识，看到自己被报道死了这样的消息，特别是说自己通过kill more people faster来发财的评论，应当是“不高兴，苦恼（unhappy or annoyed）”，不可能是“兴奋的（excited）”“高兴的（pleased）”“渴望的（anxious）”。

25. 【答案】A。

【解析】与destruction（毁灭）并列并且上文death原词复现故选出A。

26. 【答案】D。

【解析】由后文设立奖金可知，是为了改变自我形象，要设法“被别人充满爱与尊敬地铭记（be remember with love and respect）”。

27. 【答案】C。

【解析】由最后一句Nobel had to die before he realized…可知，是在“遗嘱（will）”中作的安排。

28. 【答案】A。

【解析】根据与名词the Nobel prizes的搭配，又结合常识，应当是“设立”诺贝尔奖金。

29. 【答案】D。

【解析】奖金应当是将给那些为世界和平、文学和科学等领域做出过巨大贡献的人。

make contributions to…（对……作出贡献）是固定搭配。

30. 【答案】B【解析】这个题最有争议了。

我认为这句话不可以直译为：诺贝尔在认识到他的人生的真正意义之前就不得不死去了。

这不仅不合情理，也很明显与作者所设置的写作背景不符。

语言是非常灵活的，我们不妨来意译：好在诺贝尔认识到了自己人生的真谛，否则他就是行尸走肉，灵魂早已死去。
