A
In September, something terrible happened on the west coast ofTasmania,Australia. As many as 380 pilot whales became stranded(搁浅) in shallow water there and later died. This might have beenAustralia’s largest stranding event on record, the BBC reported.
But this large amount of whale stranding is not uncommon. For centuries, it has happened all over the world and has puzzled scientists. Scientists say the cause is often unknown. But they have offered many different explanations.
Some say the whales chase small fish for food and end up in shallow water because they are not paying attention to where they are going.
Others think the stranding has something to do with Earth’s geomagnetic field (地磁场). They say that a geomagnetic compass in whales’ brains controls their position. Unusual changes in Earth’s magnetic field can affect the whales’ compasses and send them in the wrong direction.
Another explanation suggests that stranding is caused by the close relationships that whales have. Pilot whales travel in large groups. One lead whale might mistakenly lead the whole group to shallow water. “And if one gets into trouble, the others will not leave,” said Sheryl Gibney, a leading biologist fromNew Zealand. “Some will come in and try to help, they get trapped on the beach, then more will come.”
The whales are trapped by mistake or out of sympathy(同情). Once they get stranded, they will likely die. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of theUS, less than 10 percent of all stranded whales survive.
1. What do we know about the stranding inAustralia? A. It happened on theeast coast ofAustralia. B. It caused the death of over 300 pilot whales. C. It is commonly seen in September each year. D. It was the largest stranding event in the world.
2. According to Gibney, the pilot whales are the animals that________. A. are kind to each other
B. are easy to lose direction C. are too huge to float in the sea D.are silly to follow the leading whale 3. What is the story mainly about? A. How human activity has affected whales. B. What might cause whale strandings.
C. How whales find their direction while traveling. D. What scientists are doing to save stranded whales.
B
How much do consumers care about the carbon footprint of the products they buy? Would they care more if the goods were labeled with emissions（排放物）data?Does it matter at which stage in the lifecycle of a product the carbon is emitted? Research published in the International Journal of Environmental Policy and Decision Making offers a way to find out．
Study participants view a carbon footprint label as similar to labels that have appeared on some existing products．The label shows the carbon dioxide emissions connected with their production, transportation, usage and disposal（清理）, thus showing the buyer the likely effect on climate change of buying a particular product．
In the first group of studies, the research team proved that carbon emissions and a carbon emissions label would indeed play a role in consumer product decisions, although not as great a role as price．In a second set of studies, the team found that emissions connected with usage were most important to consumers followed by the transportation and disposal stages．The carbon footprint of the producing process was considered less important to consumers than the other stages in the product's lifecycle because it is outside the consumer's control．That is, the participants felt they were less responsible for carbon emitted during producing process．Consumers value recycling a product, but the researchers found that, overall, the consumers would preferproducers to offset（补偿）carbon emissions rather than having toaddressthe problem directly themselves．
Consumers are increasingly concerned with climate change problems, and already carbon labeling is appearing on some products．\"We find that participantsnot only take the carbon label into account when making product decisions, but they want detailed information on the label,\" the researchers explain．They suggest that companies should prepare for how carbon emissions labels might affect future consumer choice． 4. Which of the following most affects consumer's choice? A. Labels． B. Price．
C Packaging． D. Carbon footprint．
5. About the carbon dioxide emissions in the product's lifecycle, which stage do consumers care most? A. Usage stage． B. Transportation stage． C. Disposal stage． D. Producing stage．
6. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word \"address\"? A. Look into． B. Point out． C. Deal with． D. Run into． 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Companies should take carbonemissions more seriously． B. All products have been labeled with carbon emissions data． C. Producers will attach less importance to carbon emissions labels． D. Products labeled with carbon emissions data will have poor sales．

Jack was 11 months old in the spring of 2015 when his parents, Erika and Christopher, recognized his development was not progressing as it should. The feeling was familiar to the couple. Just a few months earlier, Jack’s brother Chase, who is 16 months older, had been diagnosed with autism(自闭症) after he did not reach motion and language standards as expected.
Jack’s behaviors were similarly delayed, and his parents moved quickly to seek help. Today, Jack is 5 — he celebrated his birthday on May 13 — and he can speak in full sentences and read. After two years at a preschool that specializes in services for children with developmental disabilities, he will start kindergarten in theSmithtownschool district in September. “Our family’s experience is a good example of the power and effectiveness of early intervention. The services our boys have received made all the difference,” the parents said.
According to scientists, autism can be detected at 18 months or younger, and by age 2 a diagnosis can be considered “very reliable.” The parents said they were happy with Chase’s success at the learning center, but still had concerns for Jack because he was not speaking. Developing social and communication skills can be among the greatest challenge for individuals with autism, even if they are able to say a few words early on. “We didn’t know if he was ever going to talk,” Erika said. “That was my biggest fear. We just didn’t know.”
Looking ahead, the parents are cautiously optimistic about Jack’s next educational move. He doesn’t handle change well, they said, and he likes to know his routine. Still, they expressed confidence that his time at the learning center has given him the skills he needs to be successful.
8. How did Jack’s parents know he suffered from autism?
A. They found the baby clever. B. They judged by their experience. C. They found he didn’t develop. D. They checked on him in the hospital. 9. What did the parents think of the early intervention?
A. It made no difference to the babies. B. It benefitted the babies greatly. C. It got their babies more disabled. D. It helped their babies speak fluently. 10. What can we learn from the third paragraph? A. Autism can be confirmed at 18 months old. B. Jack’s parents were confident about his motor skills. C. Chase’s parents were doubtful about his development D. Jack’s parents worried about his language skills most. 11. What is the text mainly talking about? A. Autism can be curedif parents take actions early. B. Parents should be confident about their children’s future. C. Early intervention in autism could improve children’s life. D. Communication skills should be developed as early as possible.
D
A company called Neuralink has shared a video which appears to show a monkey playing a video game, but what makes the video even stranger is that themonkey is playing the video game with just its mind.
Neuralink is a company owned by Elon Musk, which is working to develop devices that could allow people to control things using just their brains. The monkey in the video is called Pager, having special \"Link\" devices inside his brain. These devices are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager's brain that control movements of the arms and hands.
Scientists taught Pager to play a video game using a banana juice as a reward when he playedthe game correctly. Soon Pager was eager to play well in order to get more smoothie. At first, Pager controlled the video game using a joystick (操纵杆). But as Pager played, his Link devices wirelessly sent out information about the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands. Neuralink's scientists recorded all of these signals.
Then they used computers to match up the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing. This was challenging work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence (AI) to help them decode (解码) Pager's brain signals.
The next step was to have a computer make moves in the video game as if Pager had actually moved the joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an \"up\"signal to the video game. Thus Pager was able to play the video game using just his brain.
When people are paralyzed (瘫痪的), it's often because the brain has lost the ability to send signals to nerves and muscles in certain parts of the body. Neuralink hopes that one day, its system will be ableto send this information in a different way, allowing paralyzed people to use their arms or legs again. 12. What does Neuralink aim to do? A. To make monkeys much smarter. B. To solve complex problems with monkeys. C. To create a device linking monkeys and people. D. To make people control things with their brains.
13. How does the author introduce the process of the research? A. In order of time. B. By making a comparison. C. By giving examples. D. In order of space. 14. What played an important role in the success of the research? A. The joystick. B. Artificial intelligence. C. The video game. D. The banana smoothie. 15. Which is the most suitable title of the test? A. Neuralink Posts an Unusual Video B. Disabled People Have a Bright Future C. Monkey Plays Video Games with His Mind D. Neuralink, a Creative and Competitive Company 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
A water bearer had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the
end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years, this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water in his master's house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect to the end for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. \"I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you\". The bearer asked, \"Why? What are you ashamed of? \" The pot replied, \"For these past two years I am able to deliver only half of my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master's house. Because of my flaws, you don't get full value for your efforts\".
The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion, he said, \"As we return to the master's house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path.\" As they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it somewhat. But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again it apologized to the bearer for its failure. Paragraph 1:
“Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot's side? ” The bearer said to the pot.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2:
We're all cracked pots and each of us has our own unique flaws.
