阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D 中选出最佳选项。
A
Here are four student podcasts (播客) that offer a glimpse into the minds of students and what
they say about news concerning climate in their communities — and what they hope to do about it.
Behind the Scenes of the Mosquito Fire
In a 10-episode series, a sixth-grade class at the Georgetown School of Innovation in
Georgetown, Calif., shares stories from the damaging Mosquito Fire in 2022. This group of eight
students asks two firefighters from the Georgetown Fire Department what it’s like to fight fires and
protect loved ones in their hometown.
Fires: Set Ablaze
At Chautauqua Elementary, the Vashon fifth-graders talk about the far-reaching and lasting
impact of wildfires and wildfire smoke — and the direct effects on their lives, like waiting for the
school bus on a smoky day. The students also interview experts and share their research on wildfire
precautions (预防措施).
Flowing Through Time
In this podcast from Peak Academy, a group of eight middle schoolers reports on dealing with
water shortages in Bozeman, Montana. They trace the history of their growing hometown’s water
supply, which has been dependent on mountain snowmelt. As that source becomes less reliable in a
warming world, the students turn to the grown-ups to ask what they can do to conserve water.
Washed Away
The deadly flooding in eastern Kentucky last year forever changed the lives of high schoolers
Ryley Bowman, Carolina Johnson and Hunter Noble. The three classmates at Morgan County High
School in West Liberty, Ky., share firsthand accounts of their own and their family’s experiences
during the floods.
21. Who shows interest in firefighters’ stories?
A. Peak Academy students. B. Chautauqua Elementary students.
C. Morgan County High School students. D. Georgetown School of Innovation students.
22. Which podcast shows concern for water conservation?
A. Washed Away. B. Fires: Set Ablaze.
C. Flowing Through Time. D. Behind the Scenes of the Mosquito Fire.
23. What do Fires: Set Ablaze and Washed Away have in common?
A. They consult experts’ research results.
B. They explore the causes of climate change.
C. They share students’ personal experiences.
D. They discuss precautions for natural disasters.
B
Now my dad is one of those people who never seem to have much trouble figuring out how to
make money. Sure, Mom and Dad had some trouble keeping it for a little while during the bankruptcy
(破产) years, but bringing home a good income was never really a problem. That’s because my
parents have never been confused about where money comes from.
It’s something my dad has told me pretty much every day: Money comes from work. Our culture
has made many wonderful advances to ensure the safety and well-being of children. But we may
have taken this too far. Many parents today are so centered on what their children want that they have
lost perspective on what their children really need. Perspective — looking at life over time —
demands that you teach children to work. Teaching a child to work is not child abuse. We teach them
to work not for our benefit, but because it gives them both dignity in a job well done today and the
tools and character to win in the future as adults.
You should view teaching your children to work in the same way you view teaching them to
bathe and brush their teeth — as a necessary skill for life. If your child graduates from high school
and his only skill set consists of playing video games, complaining and eating junk food, then you
have set him up to fail.
Another huge benefit of teaching a child the wonder of work is that she will tend to stay away
from people who refuse to work. Why is this good? Because you want your daughter to marry Mr.
Right, not Mr. Lazy.
So train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not go away from it.
24. Which of the following can best describe the author’s dad?
A. Generous. B. Hardworking. C. Considerate. D. Confident.
25. According to paragraph 2, what are parents today supposed to do?
A. To instruct children to work. B. To focus on children’s needs.
C. To ensure children’s well-being. D. To maintain the dignity of children.
26. What’s the benefit children can get from work?
A. Getting rid of bad habits. B. Helping support the family.
C. Learning to use money wisely. D. Keeping away from lazy people.
27. Which column does the text possibly come from?
A. Career planning. B. Parental education.
C. Financial management. D. Parent-child relationship.
C
July was the hottest month on record globally. High temperatures and serious wildfires have
swept across the Northern Hemisphere. Oceanic heat waves are damaging the world’s third-largest
coral reef off Florida. And as the levels of greenhouse gases continue to increase, it means many
even hotter summers lie ahead.
Last week, the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres coined a new term. The time
of “global warming” has ended, he announced, and the time of “global boiling” has arrived.
But critics have strongly disagreed with the phrase. At one level, “global boiling” is clearly an
overstatement, but “global warming” is now far too weak a description. Many climate scientists have
pushed for the term “global heating” to be used in preference. Similarly, phrases such as “climate
crisis” haven’t received enough attention. That’s because many of us still feel we haven’t seen this
crisis with our own eyes.
But that is changing. In the past few years, extreme weather and relevant events have struck
many countries. Australia’s Black Summer brought wildfires that burned an area the size of the
United Kingdom. Germany suffered serious flooding in 2021. The 2022 flood in Pakistan flooded
large parts of the country. China has seen both droughts and floods. Terrible droughts have hit the
Horn of Africa for many years. India has stopped rice exports due to damage from heavy rain.
Critics of climate action often complain about what they see as the overuse of “crisis talk”. If
everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis.
When Guterres uses deeply impactful phrases, he’s not inviting us to imagine a Hollywood-
style disaster. What he’s hoping is to make people listen and act — now we can see what climate
change looks like.
Are there better phrases to describe this? Possibly. Take the challenge yourself: can you think
up a brief, correct phrase to cover worsening local-and-regional-scale droughts, fires, typhoons and
floods; damage to crops and food safety; water shortages; existential threats to coral reefs and low-
lying communities? You can see how hard it is.
28. What does the underlined word “coined” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Explained. B. Invented. C. Valued. D. Accepted.
29. What do critics think of the term “global boiling”?
A. It is overused. B. It is exaggerated.
C. It is lacking in enough attention. D. It is too weak to describe the problem.
30. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. Climate crises are worsening. B. Several crises will be solved.
C. People will face food shortages. D. People are taking effective measures.
31. What is Guterres’s hope in using deeply impactful phrases?
A. To scare people into taking immediate action.
B. To entertain readers with Hollywood-style stories.
C. To provide a more accurate description of global warming.
D. To make people aware of the severity of the climate crisis.
D
Living in a city, you may face fewer parking spaces, more pollution, less personal space, and
more traffic and noise, all of which contribute to higher stress levels, often translating to aggression
(攻击行为). And now, researchers have found evidence that this behavior applies to song sparrows
(歌雀) too. But it comes with a surprising benefit to the youngest generation of city sparrows.
There are fewer city-living song sparrows than in the countryside. However, the increased
aggression observed in the males can be connected to a more pressing need to defend territories in
urban settings. But that increased aggression doesn’t mean the males fail in their duties as fathers. In
fact, the researchers were surprised to find that the opposite may be true.
“Male songbirds are thought to reduce parental care when they are more aggressive. Yet this
study showed that urban male song sparrows provided more care for their young,” says Dr Samuel
Lane, lead author of the study. “Against our expectations, we found that they visited nests more often
and were more successful parents than the males in the countryside.”
The researchers carried out their studies at six sites across southwest Virginia, USA, across four
breeding (繁殖) seasons. They found that the high survival rate of their chicks was subject to many
factors. Not only did male sparrows visit their nests more often, but they also began feeding chicks
earlier in the day. Despite the challenges of being a city bird, hatching success was observed to be
higher in urban habitats. And even though brood parasitism, one species laying eggs in the nest of
another, is typically higher in urban areas, the researchers observed that rates of nest predation, the
act of other animals eating eggs or young birds, were lower, further contributing to the overall nesting
success of these sparrows.
Lane said, “Our study adds to growing evidence that certain species of songbirds even benefit
from living in urban environments when there is enough green space for them to find food and nest
locations.”
The team hope ongoing research in this area will contribute to the establishment of urban
environments aimed at offering improved support for wildlife.
32. What causes the increased aggression of male city sparrows?
A. The stress of protecting their territories. B. The worsening of urban noise pollution.
C. The challenges of building their nests. D. The growing needs of younger generations.
33. What had the researchers expected of urban males compared to those in the countryside?
A. They lived shorter lives. B. They had a higher population.
C. They had lower nest attendance. D. They woke up earlier in the morning.
34. Which of the following can be found in urban areas according to the study?
A. Higher nest locations. B. Reduced brood parasitism.
C. Limited breeding seasons. D. Lower nest predation rates.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. City Male Birds Do It All B. Aggressive Birds Surprise Scientists
C. Big City Life Makes Birds Better Dads D. The Future of City Birds Lies in Our Hands

选项。
At first glance, it seems to be Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s masterpiece Girl with a Pearl
Earring. 36 Wearing two glowing earrings, there’s a slightly inhuman shade of red on the
girl’s face.
Look strange? 37 Chosen from 3,482 submitted images based on the Vermeer
masterpiece, the AI-generated work was displayed at the Mauritshuis Museum in the Netherlands in
March. The designer looked on the experience of literally replacing the famous painting by one of
his AI images crazy and completely surreal.
38 Though Mauritshuis press officer Boris de Munnick insisted that it was a nice picture
and a creative process, many people questioned whether it could be called art and if it was qualified
to be shown in the museum gallery. 39 It was regarded as a disrespect for the masterpiece of
Vermeer and also for any working artist.
In fact, this is not the first time that people have debated AI’s role in creativity. 40 But
the technology has now become widely available for regular everyday use and the practice of using
AI image generators to make art has become more common.
A. Coming from a museum, it’s really embarrassing.
B. However, the AI image raised a fierce argument.
C. But look more closely and you may find something different about it.
D. One common concern is whether AI-generated works break copyright laws.
E. Dutch artist Iris Compiet described the image on display as almost Frankenstein-ish.
F. It’s actually an image made by Berlin-based designer Julian van Dieken using artificial
intelligence.
G. The emergence of such AI works is believed by many to weaken the enthusiasm of artists
with creative skills.
