questins. Bill Brysn takes the reader n an impressive jurney thrugh the greatest scientific discveries in histry. It explains scientific tpics in a vivid

As a by, I wanted t g t the Suth Ple. As a teenager, I decided I'd like t g t the Nrth Ple t. And yet, I haven't dne either. It had taken
me 31 years t just make it t the Arctic.
I was traveling with a film crew frm Nrthern Ireland, fllwing the ftsteps f Lrd Dufferin wh, in the 1850s, sailed frm Sctland t the Arctic.
As an early adventure turist, he was driven by the desire t see what lay at the ends f the wrld.
As we sailed nrth, icebergs f the size f buses flated past ur small bat. Finally, we reached ur destinatin—English Bay, where Dufferin landed-
and stepped ff nt the hrseshe-shaped beach.
This was what I'd dreamt f: standing smewhere s pure and primitive. Hwever, fr many early plar explrers, the results were far less pleasant.
The suth, in particular, was surce f extreme danger.
My childhd interest in the Suth Ple was fueled by the unsuccessful yet heric adventures f Emest Shackletn. He died in 1922 while preparing
fr his furth adventure. The stries f Rbert Falcn Sctt are als well-knwn: he and fur cmpanins died n their way back frm the Suth Ple.
S why d explrers put themselves at such risk?
Much f it seems t lie in the purity f the challenge. Sctt talked f the appeal f a place that had been “unreached and unseen by humans.”
“With a view ver shining lands cvered by ice-sheets f incnceivable extent, yu have the feeling f living ver the cntrl f death,” said Fridtjf
Nansen, a Nrwegian explrer.

On the hmeward jurney the weather turned and we were left fr a few days at the mercy f a strm. We experienced a small taste f helplessness
when faced with the raw pwer f nature. We shuld be grateful fr the great explrers’ spirit and stries. I knw I am.
【小题1】Why did the authr begin his adventure tur?
A．T assist a film crew
B．T realize a childhd dream
D．T challenge a wrld recrd
C．T memrize Lrd Dufferin
【小题2】Which f the fllwing best explains "incnceivable" underlined in paragraph 7?
A．Hard t cntrl
B．T far t reach
C．Hard t imagine
D．T bright t view
【小题3】What happened during the writer's jurney?
A．They were trapped in icebergs
B．They were kept ff the destinatin
D．They were rescued by explrers
C．They were attacked by a strm
【小题4】Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A．The Appeal f the Ends f the Wrld
C．The Victry ver the Cntrl f Death
B．The Dream f Traveling t the Arctic
D．The Gratitude t Great Explrers Spirit
Research int whether the human vice helps plants isn’t cnclusive. Even s, there are cnvincing reasns that chatting with yur huseplants is
gd fr them—and yu.
In a 2022 survey by trees.cm, 50 percent f the 1250 respndents reprted talking t their plants. When asked why, 65 percent said they believe it
helps them grw. The research, hwever, isn’t definitive abut this pint. While studies have fund that vibratins (震动) caused by sund d affect
plants, the jury is still ut n whether the human vice ffers any specific benefit.
Fr many plant wners, thugh, the science is beside the pint. Marquis Matsn, c-funder f the blg the Indr Nursery, says she talks t her
plants every day because “it feels nice and I think plants get a sense f cmmunity frm my talking t them and that keeps them ging”. On the plant
side, a study in a 2003 issue f the jurnal Ultrasnics investigated the effects f the classical music and the sunds f birds, insects and water n the
grwth f Chinese cabbage and cucumber. Bth frms f sund expsure increased the vegetables’ grwth. In a 2015 study, researchers expsed
marigld (金盏花) and chickpea (鹰嘴豆) plants t light Indian music as well as t traffic nise. They fund that bth types f plants grew and develped
better after being expsed t the music fr fur hurs per day, but nt t the traffic sunds. “Plants definitely respnd t vibratins in their
envirnment—which can cause plants t grw differently and becme mre resistant t falling ver,” says Heidi Appel, leader f the study. She pints
ut, “While sund abslutely matters t plants, we dn’t knw if talking t them makes them grw differently.”
Despite the lack f studies and evidence abut the benefits f talking t yur plants, there is at least ne theretical bnus, “If we identify with a
living rganism that we’re taking care f, we’re ging t take better care f it and help them thrive,” Appel says.
【小题1】What d the underlined wrds “the jury is still ut” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．There is uncertainty.
B．The jury has decided.
C．The jury is playing utside.
D．Peple have different ideas.
【小题2】What d Marquis Matsn’s wrds suggest?
A．Vibratins caused by sund affect plants.
B．Chatting with the plants benefits bth sides.
C．Scientific research in this area makes n sense.
【小题3】What can be inferred frm Paragraph 3?
A．Traffic sunds prbably have a negative influence n plant grwth.
B．Talking t plants can make them mre sensitive t the envirnment.
C．Plants d nt fall ver because f the vibratins in their envirnment.
D．Classical music is beneficial t plant grwth as sunds f nature d.
【小题4】What is Appel’s attitude twards the study?
D．A sense f cmmunity is a must fr plants’ grwth.
A．Apprving.
B．Neutral.
C．Unfavrable.
D．Unclear.
Mst f us dn’t have any memries frm the first three t fur year f ur lives. And when we d try t think back t ur earliest memries, it is
ften unclear whether they are the real thing r just recllectins based n phts r stries tld t us. The phenmenn, knwn as “childhd

amnesia,” bas been puzzling psychlgists fr mre than a century.
It may seem that the reasn we dn’t remember being babies is that babies dn’t have a fully develped memry. But babies as yung as six
mnths can frm bth shrt-term and lng-term memries. In ne study, six- mnth-lds wh learned hw t press a lever t perate a ty.
Of curse, memry capabilities at these ages are nt adult-like — they cntinue t develp until adlescence. In fact, develpmental changes in
basic memry prcesses have been put frward as an explanatin fr childhd amnesia, and it’s ne f the best theries we’ve gt s far. These
basic prcesses invlve several brain regins and include frming, maintaining and later bringing back the memry.
But this des nt seem t be the whle stry. Anther factr that we knw plays a rle is language. Frm the ages f ne t six, children prgress
frm the ne wrd stage f speaking t becming fluent in their native language(s), s there are majr changes in their language cmpetence that
verlap with the childhd amnesia perid. It is true t sme extent that a child’s ability t describe an event predicts hw well they remember it
mnths r years later.
While there are still things we dn’t understand abut childhd amnesia, it’s imprtant t remember that, even if we can’t clearly remember
specific events frm when we were very yung, they still influence ur behavir. The first few years f life are frgettable and yet pwerful in shaping the
adults that we becme.
【小题1】What des the study mentined in paragraph 2 shw?
A．Babies dn’t have a fully develped memry.
C．Babies can remember things fr weeks.
B．Babies dn’t suffer frm childhd amnesia.
D．Babies can benefit frm hands - n learning.
【小题2】Which f the fllwing is ne f the best theries cncerning childhd amnesia?
A．Babies’ brains are nt mature enugh.
B．Babies’ language skills need develping.
C．Babies cannt g thrugh basic memry prcesses.
D．Babies rarely experience events that had a big impact.
【小题3】What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A．Specific events frm early childhd shuld be tld t children.
B．The first few years f life shuld be taken seriusly.
C．We can vercme childhd amnesia smeday.
D．Childhd amnesia is fairly cmmn.
【小题4】What can be the best title fr the text?
A．Hw ur early childhd memries frm
B．Hw childhd amnesia influences ur lives
D．Why we can’t remember ur early childhd
C．Why sme memries disappear and thers dn’t
