A new way t reduce paching
Researchers are wrking n a pilt prgram backed by Russia’s Rsatm Crp t inject rhin hrns (犀牛角) with radiactive material, a strategy that culd discurage cnsumptin and make it easier t detect illegal trade.
Pachers (偷猎者) killed 394 rhins in Suth Africa fr their hrns last year, gvernment data shws, with public and private game ___11___ lacking the resurces needed t mnitr vast tracts f land and prtect the animals that live there. While the tll was a third lwer than in 2019 and the sixth ___12___ drp, illegal hunting remains the biggest threat t abut 20,000 f the animals in the cuntry — the wrld’s biggest ppulatin.
Thusands f ___13___ sensrs alng internatinal brders culd be used t detect a small quantity f radiactive material ___14___ int the hrns, accrding t James Larkin, a prfessr at the University f Witswatersrand in Jhannesburg, wh has a backgrund in radiatin prtectin and nuclear security. “A whle new ___15___ f peple culd be able t detect the illegal mvement f rhin hrn,” he said. Sme alternate methds f discuraging paching, including pisning, dyeing and remving the hrns, have raised a variety f pinins as t their virtue and efficacy.
Knwn as The Rhistpe Prject, the new anti-paching ___16___ started earlier this mnth with the injectin f an amin acid (氨基酸) int tw rhins’ hrns in rder t detect whether the cmpund will mve int the animals’ bdies.

“If we make it radiactive, these peple will be hesitant t buy it,” Larkin said. “We’re pushing n the whle supply chain.”
Besides Russia’s state-wned nuclear cmpany, the University f Witwatersrand, scientists and private rhin wners are invlved in the prject. If the methd is ___19___ feasible, it culd als be used t curb illegal trade in elephant ivry.
“Once we have develped the whle prject and gt t the pint where we cmpleted the prf f cncept, then we will be making this whle idea ____20____ t whever wants t use it,” Larkin said.
III. Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passages there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
City air is in a srry state. It is dirty and ht. Outdr pllutin kills 4.2m peple a year, accrding t the Wrld Health Organizatin. Cncrete and tarmac, meanwhile, absrb the sun’s rays rather than reflecting them back int space, and als ___21___ plants which wuld therwise cl things dwn by evaprative transpiratin (蒸腾作用). The never-ceasing ___22___ f buildings and rads thus turns urban areas int heat islands, discmfrting residents and wrsening dangerus heatwaves.
A pssible answer t the twin prblems f pllutin and heat is trees. Their leaves may destry at least sme chemical pllutants and they certainly ___23___ tiny particles flating in the air, which are then washed t the grund by rain. Besides transpiratin, they prvide ___24___.
T cl an area effectively, trees must be planted in quantity. Tw years ag, researchers at the University f Wiscnsin fund that American cities need 40% tree ___25___ t cut urban heat back meaningfully. Unfrtunately, nt all cities — and especially nt thse nw springing up in the wrld’s pr and middle-incme cuntries — are ___26___ with parks, private gardens r a sufficient number f street trees. And the prblem is likely t get wrse. At the mment, 55% f peple live in cities. By 2050 that share is expected t reach 68%.
One grup f btanists believe they have at least a partial ___27___ t this lack f urban vegetatin. It is t plant miniature simulacra (模拟物) f natural frests, eclgically engineered fr rapid grwth. Over the curse f a career that began in the 1950s, their leader, Miyawaki Akira, a plant eclgist at Ykhama Natinal University in Japan, has develped a way t d this starting with even the mst ___28___ deserted areas. And the Miyawaki methd is finding increasing ___29___ arund the wrld.
Dr Miyawaki’s insight was t decnstruct and rebuild the prcess f eclgical successin, by which ___30___ land develps naturally int mature frest. Usually, the first arrival is grass, fllwed by small trees and, finally, larger nes. The Miyawaki methd ___31___ sme f the early phases and jumps directly t planting the kinds f species fund in a mature wd.
Dr Miyawaki has ___32___ the planting f mre than 1,500 f these miniature frests, first in Japan, then in ther parts f the wrld. Wherever they are planting, thugh, gardeners are nt restricted t ___33___ nature’s recipe bk t the letter. Miyawaki frests can be custmized t lcal requirements. A ppular chice, ___34___, is t include mre fruit trees than a natural frest might supprt, thus creating an rchard that requires n maintenance.
If yur gal is t better yur ___35___ surrundings, rather than t save the planet frm glbal warming, then Dr Miyawaki might well be yur man.

Sectin B
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have read.
(A)
Frm Marie Tussaud’s Chamber f Hrrrs t Disneyland’s Haunted Mansin (鬼屋) t hrrr-themed escape rms, haunted huse attractins have terrified and delighted audiences arund the wrld fr mre than 200 years.
These attractins turn ut t be gd places t study fear. They help scientists understand the bdy’s respnse t fright and hw we perceive sme situatins as enjyably thrilling and thers as truly terrible. One surprising finding: having friends clse at hand in a haunted huse might make yu mre jumpy, nt less s.
Psychlgist and study c-authr Sarah Tashjian, wh is nw at the University f Melburne, and her team cnducted their research with 156 adults, wh each wre a wireless wrist sensr during their visit. The sensr measured skin respnses linked t the bdy’s reactins t stress and ther situatins. When the sensr picked up, fr example, greater skin cnductance — that is, the degree t which the skin can transmit an electric current — that was a sign that the bdy was mre arused and ready fr fight r flight. In additin t this measure, peple reprted their expected fear (n a scale f 1 t 10) befre entering the haunted huse and their experienced fear (n the same scale) after cmpleting the haunt.
The scientists fund that peple wh reprted greater fear als shwed heightened skin respnses. Being with friends, Tashjian and her clleagues further fund, increased physilgical arusal during the experience, which was linked t strnger feelings f fright. In fact, the fear respnse was actually weaker when peple went thrugh the huse in the presence f strangers.
Other investigatrs have used haunted huses t understand hw fear and enjyment can cexist. In a 2020 study led by Marc Malmdrf Andersen, a member f the Recreatinal Fear Lab at Aarhus University in Denmark, scientists jined frces with Dystpia Haunted Huse. The Danish attractin includes such terrifying experiences as being chased by “Mr. Piggy”, a large, chain-saw-wielding man wearing a bldy butcher’s aprn and pig mask. Peple between the ages f 12 and 57 were vide recrded at peak mments during the attractin, wre heart-rate mnitrs thrughut and reprted n their experience. Peple’s fright was tied t large-scale heart-rate fluctuatins; their enjyment was linked t small-scale nes. The results suggest that fear and enjyment can happen tgether when physilgical arusal is balanced “just right”.
36. Studying haunted huse attractins helps scientists t learn abut ________.
A. the psychlgical effects f fear n individuals
B. the histry f hrrr-themed entertainment
C. the bdy’s respnse t material rewards
D. the impact f technlgy n peple’s enjyment
37. Hw did Sarah Tashjian and her team cnduct their research n haunted huse experiences?
A. By surveying participants.B. By analyzing histrical recrds.
C. By emplying wireless wrist sensrs.D. By using virtual reality simulatins.
38. What did Tashjian and her clleagues discver in their study?
A. Being with friends elevated level f physilgical arusal.
B. The fear reactin was strnger in the cmpany f strangers.
C. Psychlgical effect was unrelated t intensified feelings f fright.
D. Thse reprting lightened fear shwed increased skin respnses.
39. It can be cncluded frm the 2020 study led by Marc Malmdrf Andersen that ________.
A fear and enjyment can nt happen at the same time
B. large-scale heart-rate fluctuatins were linked t enjyment
C. the age f the participants was nt related t the study’s findings
D. fear and enjyment can cexist under certain cnditins
(B)
Is an electric vehicle right fr yu?
Many peple will ask themselves that questin fr the first time this year. Prices are falling, battery range is rising and mainstream brands are adding new EVs at a breakneck pace.
Here are three things anybdy seriusly cnsidering buying an EV shuld knw:
1. The price t install a 240v charger
Anybdy wh wns an electric vehicle needs a 240-vlt charger at hme. With ne, yu can recharge vernight, s yu start every day with the equivalent f a full tank.
Just a few years ag, hme 240v EV chargers cst $2,500-$3,000, including installatin, but prices have declined as cmpetitin grws with the number f EVs n the rad.
2. The time it takes t charge
Abut 80% f miles driven in EVs are pwered by electricity charged at hme, but yu’ll need t charge elsewhere ccasinally. That’s when charging time becmes a big deal, but hw lng it takes depends n a cuple f factrs.
First, vltage frm the charger. Getting 250 miles f range in seven hurs frm a 240v charger is fine when yu’re charging vernight at hme, but it’s a deal breaker if yu’re ging 300 miles fr a weekend getaway. In that case, yu’ll want t lk fr a 400v DC fast charger. They’re nt as cmmn as 240v public chargers yet, but they’re becming mre widespread.
There’s anther factr: the n-bard charger. It regulates hw fast the battery can accept electricity. A vehicle with a higher-capacity n-bard charger accepts electricity faster.
3. Where t charge
Gd rute-planning apps will help yu find chargers n a rad trip.
“Mst peple have n idea hw many public charging statins are within, say, a 10-r 15-mile radius(半径) because they’re small, peple dn’t lk fr them r even dn’t knw what t lk fr, and they’re rarely signpsted,” said jurnalist Jhn Velcker, wh has studied EVs and charging exhaustively.
4. On the hrizn
If an EV desn’t meet yur needs nw, watch this space. They’re cming clser, but large numbers f gasline vehicles will remain in prductin fr years. Beynd that, cmpanies will keep making spare parts fr il-burners fr decades.
40. Which f the fllwing statements is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A. The price f installing a hme EV charger has remained stable in the past few years.
B. It’s quite easy t identify the public charging statins with the help f striking signpsts.
C. Ppular brands are intrducing new EVs at an incredibly fast rate.
D. An electric vehicle can’t prvide the same amunt f energy as a cmpletely filled fuel tank.
41. The underlined phrase “watch this space” in the last paragraph prbably means “________”.
A. give up the plan t purchase an EV
B. make space fr an EV
C. find an alternative t EV
D. keep an eye ut fr future develpments
42. This passage is mainly intended t ________.
A. illustrate the factrs charging time depends n
B. ffer advice n purchasing an electric vehicle
C. lk frward t the future f electric vehicles
D. explain the reasn fr the falling prices f electric vehicles
(C)
Flinging brightly clured bjects arund a screen at high speed is nt what cmputers’ central prcessing units were designed fr. S manufacturers f arcade machines invented the graphics-prcessing unit (GPU), a set f circuits t handle vide games’ visuals in parallel t the wrk dne by the central prcessr. The GPU’s ability t speed up cmplex tasks has since fund wider uses: vide editing, cryptcurrency mining and mst recently, the training f artificial intelligence.
AI is nw disrupting the industry that helped bring it int being. Every part f entertainment stands t be affected by generative AI, which digests inputs f text, image, audi r vide t create new utputs f the same. But the games business will change the mst, argues Andreessen Hrwitz, a venture-capital (VC) firm. Games interactivity requires them t be stuffed with labriusly designed cntent: cnsider the 30 square miles f landscape r 60 hurs f music in “Red Dead Redemptin 2”, a recent cwby adventure. Enlisting AI assistants t churn it ut culd drastically shrink timescales and budgets.
AI represents an “explsin f pprtunity” and culd drastically change the landscape f game develpment. Making a game is already easier than it was: nearly 13,000 titles were published last year n Steam, a games platfrm, almst duble the number in 2017. Gaming may sn resemble the music and vide industries in which mst new cntent n Sptify r YuTube is user-generated. One games executive predicts that small firms will be the quickest t wrk ut what new genres are made pssible by AI. Last mnth Raja Kduri, an executive at Intel, left the chip maker t fund an AI-gaming startup.
Dn’t cunt the big studis ut, thugh. If they can release half a dzen high-quality titles a year instead f a cuple, it might chip away at the hit-driven nature f their business, says Jsh Chapman f Knvy, a gaming fcused VC firm. A wrld f mre chices als favrs thse with big marketing budgets. And the giants may have better answers t the munting questins arund AI. If generative mdels have t be trained n data t which the develper has the rights, thse with big back-catalgues will be better placed than startups. Trent Kaniuga, an artist wh has wrked n games like “Frtnite”, said last mnth that several clients had updated their cntracts t ban AI-generated art.
If the lawyers dn’t intervene, unins might. Studis diplmatically refer t AI assistants as “c-pilts”, nt replacements fr humans.
43. The riginal purpse behind the inventin f the graphics-prcessing unit (GPU) was t ________.
A. speed up cmplex tasks in vide editing and cryptcurrency mining
B. assist in the develping and training f artificial intelligence
C. disrupt the industry and create new utputs using generative AI
D. fflad game visual tasks frm the central prcessr
44. Hw might the rise f AI-gaming startups affect the develpment f the gaming industry?
A. It cntributes t the grwth f user-generated cntent.
B. It facilitates blckbuster dependency n big studis.
C. It decreases cllabratin between different stakehlders in the industry.
D. It may help t cnslidate the gaming market under majr crpratins.
45. What can be inferred abut the rle f artificial intelligence in gaming?
A. AI favrs the businesses with small marketing budgets.
B. AI is expected t simplify game develpment prcesses.
C. AI allws startups t gain an edge ver big firms with authrized data.
D. AI assistants may serve as human substitutes fr studis.
46. What is this passage mainly abut?
A. The evlutin f graphics-prcessing units (GPUs).

Time t end Santa’s “naughty list”?
Many f us have magical memries f Santa secretly bringing gifts and jy t ur childhd hmes — but is there a darker side t the belved Christmas traditin?
I was — and I’m happy t admit it — a lyal believer f Santa. I abslutely lved the magic f Christmas, especially Santa Claus, and my parents went abve and beynd t encurage it. Hwever, as I begin t cnstruct my wn Santa Claus myth fr my daughter, I can’t help but feel guilty. Culd it undermine her trust in me?
___47___ Back in 1978, a study published in the American Jurnal f Orthpsychiatry (矫正精神医学) fund that 85% f fur-year-lds said they believed in Santa. In 2011, research published in the Jurnal f Cgnitin and Develpment fund that 83% f 5-year-lds claimed t be true believers.
I guess it’s nt all that surprising. ___48___ He features in every Christmas TV shw and mvie. Each year the Nrth American Aerspace Defence Cmmand (NORAD) allws yu t track Santa’s jurney n Christmas Eve. T reassure children during the pandemic in 2020, the Wrld Health Organizatin issued a statement declaring that Santa was “immune” frm Cvid 19. And it’s precisely this effrt n behalf f parents, and sciety in general, t create such seemingly verwhelming evidence fr the existence f Santa Claus that David Kyle Jhnsn, a prfessr f philsphy at King’s Cllege in Pennsylvania, describes as ‘The Santa Lie’ in his bk The Myths That Stle Christmas. He highlights hw we dn’t simply ask children t imagine Santa, but rather t actually believe in him. ___49___
The “Santa lie” can reduce trust between a parent and a child. ___50___ It is the creatin f false evidence and cnvincing kids that bad evidence is in fact gd evidence that discurages the kind f critical thinking we shuld be encuraging in children in this era. “The ‘Santa lie’ is part f a parenting practice that encurages peple t believe what they want t believe, simply because f the psychlgical reward,” says Jhnsn. “That’s really bad fr sciety in general.”
A. But the biggest danger is the anti-critical thinking lessns that he is teaching.
B. It’s this emphasis n belief ver imaginatin that he sees as harmful.
C. Interestingly, belief in Santa Claus has actually prmted children’s critical thinking.
D. There are plenty f cultural evidences we create fr the existence f Santa.
E. He begins t prbe and questin the things he has seen and heard.
F. Fascinatingly, belief in Santa Claus has remained remarkably cnsistent.

Explring the Appeal f Vintage
Tday, the term “vintage” applies t almst everything. Vintage is mre recent than an antique (古董) which is defined as 100 years ld r mre. It basically means reviving smething ld-fashined r filled with memries. Fr an bject t be cnsidered vintage, it must be unique and genuine enugh t retain at least sme f its riginal charm.
We buy vintage because it creates a sense f persnal cnnectin fr us: it speaks t ur childhd memries and that feels gd. We als buy vintage because we’re rebels. Vintage is a prtest against mdern mainstream culture. In an age f technlgy, buying vintage is a refuge frm ur fast-paced, high-tech wrld. We want ur children t make the mst f their creativity and knw hw t entertain themselves withut electrnic gadgets. Irnically, early vide games are nw cnsidered vintage.
Of all the vintage bjects, vintage tys are frever attractive fr bth adults and children. Althugh sme tys have emtinal value, thers have high market value and are expensive t cllect. Vintage tys that were made in small quantities ften bring a higher value than thse that were mass prduced. That means, if yu wn ne f the 2,000 “Peanuts” ryal blue beanie baby elephants that were manufactured with a darker blue cat than riginally intended, yu might have smething valuable n yur hands. In fact, due t a manufacturer errr, this is the mst cllectible beanie baby arund — and wrth abut £3,000.
If yu’re mtivated and feeling lucky, yu can find deals n vintage tys by brwsing charity shps, secndhand stres, cmmunity centers, flea markets and garage sales. Yu never knw what kind f treasures are hiding at the bttm f a mixed bx in smene’s basement, garage r attic.

Sectin B
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have read.
(A)
Frm Marie Tussaud’s Chamber f Hrrrs t Disneyland’s Haunted Mansin (鬼屋) t hrrr-themed escape rms, haunted huse attractins have terrified and delighted audiences arund the wrld fr mre than 200 years.
These attractins turn ut t be gd places t study fear. They help scientists understand the bdy’s respnse t fright and hw we perceive sme situatins as enjyably thrilling and thers as truly terrible. One surprising finding: having friends clse at hand in a haunted huse might make yu mre jumpy, nt less s.
Psychlgist and study c-authr Sarah Tashjian, wh is nw at the University f Melburne, and her team cnducted their research with 156 adults, wh each wre a wireless wrist sensr during their visit. The sensr measured skin respnses linked t the bdy’s reactins t stress and ther situatins. When the sensr picked up, fr example, greater skin cnductance — that is, the degree t which the skin can transmit an electric current — that was a sign that the bdy was mre arused and ready fr fight r flight. In additin t this measure, peple reprted their expected fear (n a scale f 1 t 10) befre entering the haunted huse and their experienced fear (n the same scale) after cmpleting the haunt.
The scientists fund that peple wh reprted greater fear als shwed heightened skin respnses. Being with friends, Tashjian and her clleagues further fund, increased physilgical arusal during the experience, which was linked t strnger feelings f fright. In fact, the fear respnse was actually weaker when peple went thrugh the huse in the presence f strangers.
Other investigatrs have used haunted huses t understand hw fear and enjyment can cexist. In a 2020 study led by Marc Malmdrf Andersen, a member f the Recreatinal Fear Lab at Aarhus University in Denmark, scientists jined frces with Dystpia Haunted Huse. The Danish attractin includes such terrifying experiences as being chased by “Mr. Piggy”, a large, chain-saw-wielding man wearing a bldy butcher’s aprn and pig mask. Peple between the ages f 12 and 57 were vide recrded at peak mments during the attractin, wre heart-rate mnitrs thrughut and reprted n their experience. Peple’s fright was tied t large-scale heart-rate fluctuatins; their enjyment was linked t small-scale nes. The results suggest that fear and enjyment can happen tgether when physilgical arusal is balanced “just right”.
36. Studying haunted huse attractins helps scientists t learn abut ________.
A. the psychlgical effects f fear n individuals
B. the histry f hrrr-themed entertainment
C. the bdy’s respnse t material rewards
D. the impact f technlgy n peple’s enjyment
37. Hw did Sarah Tashjian and her team cnduct their research n haunted huse experiences?
A. By surveying participants.B. By analyzing histrical recrds.
C. By emplying wireless wrist sensrs.D. By using virtual reality simulatins.
38. What did Tashjian and her clleagues discver in their study?
A. Being with friends elevated level f physilgical arusal.
B. The fear reactin was strnger in the cmpany f strangers.
C. Psychlgical effect was unrelated t intensified feelings f fright.
D. Thse reprting lightened fear shwed increased skin respnses.
39. It can be cncluded frm the 2020 study led by Marc Malmdrf Andersen that ________.
A. fear and enjyment can nt happen at the same time
B. large-scale heart-rate fluctuatins were linked t enjyment
C. the age f the participants was nt related t the study’s findings
D. fear and enjyment can cexist under certain cnditins

Is an electric vehicle right fr yu?
Many peple will ask themselves that questin fr the first time this year. Prices are falling, battery range is rising and mainstream brands are adding new EVs at a breakneck pace.
Here are three things anybdy seriusly cnsidering buying an EV shuld knw:
1. The price t install a 240v charger
Anybdy wh wns an electric vehicle needs a 240-vlt charger at hme. With ne, yu can recharge vernight, s yu start every day with the equivalent f a full tank.
Just a few years ag, hme 240v EV chargers cst $2,500-$3,000, including installatin, but prices have declined as cmpetitin grws with the number f EVs n the rad.
2. The time it takes t charge
Abut 80% f miles driven in EVs are pwered by electricity charged at hme, but yu’ll need t charge elsewhere ccasinally. That’s when charging time becmes a big deal, but hw lng it takes depends n a cuple f factrs.
First, vltage frm the charger. Getting 250 miles f range in seven hurs frm a 240v charger is fine when yu’re charging vernight at hme, but it’s a deal breaker if yu’re ging 300 miles fr a weekend getaway. In that case, yu’ll want t lk fr a 400v DC fast charger. They’re nt as cmmn as 240v public chargers yet, but they’re becming mre widespread.
There’s anther factr: the n-bard charger. It regulates hw fast the battery can accept electricity. A vehicle with a higher-capacity n-bard charger accepts electricity faster.
3. Where t charge
Gd rute-planning apps will help yu find chargers n a rad trip.
“Mst peple have n idea hw many public charging statins are within, say, a 10-r 15-mile radius(半径) because they’re small, peple dn’t lk fr them r even dn’t knw what t lk fr, and they’re rarely signpsted,” said jurnalist Jhn Velcker, wh has studied EVs and charging exhaustively.
4. On the hrizn
If an EV desn’t meet yur needs nw, watch this space. They’re cming clser, but large numbers f gasline vehicles will remain in prductin fr years. Beynd that, cmpanies will keep making spare parts fr il-burners fr decades.
40. Which f the fllwing statements is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A. The price f installing a hme EV charger has remained stable in the past few years.
B. It’s quite easy t identify the public charging statins with the help f striking signpsts.
C. Ppular brands are intrducing new EVs at an incredibly fast rate.
D. An electric vehicle can’t prvide the same amunt f energy as a cmpletely filled fuel tank.
41. The underlined phrase “watch this space” in the last paragraph prbably means “________”.
A. give up the plan t purchase an EV
B. make space fr an EV
C. find an alternative t EV
D. keep an eye ut fr future develpments
42. This passage is mainly intended t ________.
A. illustrate the factrs charging time depends n
