一、阅读理解
If yu think abut Wrld Heritage Sites, yu prbably think f places assciated with ancient art and culture and histrical buildings. And f curse, many f these are n the Wrld Heritage List (WHL). These include remains f ancient cultures like Cuzc in Peru r the rck city f Petra in Jrdan as well as ld city centers such as Rme in Italy. Als cmmn are places f artistic r cultural significance, like the Stnehenge stne circle in England. But the WHL cntains a lt f sites that are nt s bvius. Let’s lk at a few f the mre unusual sites n the WHL and why it is imprtant t preserve them.
Citadel f Haiti
These mnuments were built at the end f the 19th century when Haiti became independent and the many thusands f black slaves in Haiti were free fr the first time. These ex-slaves built the mnuments, which the WHL describes as “a universal symbl f liberty”.
Brders f France and Spain
This is an area f great natural beauty and the muntains have many interesting gelgical frmatins.
But it is als an area f small farms. The WHL has listed the site because it shws us abut past Eurpean sciety thrugh its landscape f villages, farms, fields, up land pastures and muntain rads.
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway
This railway in India was pened in 1881 and is still perating tday. It crsses a difficult area f muntain landscape and it is a great example f railway engineering. The WHL says that it is “the first, and still the mst utstanding, example f a hill passenger railway.”
The city f Brasilia
Brasilia is a capital city that was created frm nthing in 1956. The WHL calls it “a land mark in the histry f twn planning”. The different areas f the city and the buildings themselves were all designed at the same time s that they wuld harmnize with each ther.
1．What’s the functin f the examples f Wrld Heritage Sites in paragraph 1?
A.T highlight the imprtance f WHL.
B.T exemplify sites f artistic and cultural value.
C.T cmpare the differences between varius sites.

At the end f 2019,I learned that Here After AI, whse gal is t let the living cmmunicate with the dead, was lking fr applicants f its new AI prject. Interested in what it was prmising, I applied t experiment the sftware n my very-much-alive parents.
At first, I thught it wuld be just a fun prject t see what was technlgically pssible. Then their health cnditin added sme urgency t the experiment. I was frightened that my parents might die since my father had been diagnsed with cancer and my mther was recently develping symptms f early Alzheimer’s disease, and that with the distance between us, I might never have the chance t say gdbye.
The first step was an interview. My parents were asked questins by a techician fr hurs-abut everything frm their earliest memries t what they believe will happen after they die. Whether thrugh illness-generated cncerns r a willingness t humr their daughter, my parents put up zer resistance. The cmpany then tk their respnses and started t create the vice assistants. A few mnths later, my virtual parents arrived via email attachment.
When I cmmunicated with them thrugh the app n my phne, my hands were shaking. I hadn’t seen my actual, real parents fr six mnths. They tld me persnal stries I’d never heard. They gave me life advice and tld me things abut their childhds, as well as my wn. It was mesmerizing.
Persnally, I have mixed feelings abut my experiment. I’m glad t have my virtual parents. They’ve enabled me t learn new things abut my parents, and it’s cmfrting t think that thse sftwares will be there even when my parents aren’t. On the ther hand, I can’t help but find it sad that it tk a stranger interviewing my parents fr me t prperly appreciate the cmplex peple they are. But I feel lucky t have had the chance t grasp that-and t still have the precius pprtunity t spend mre time with them and learn mre abut them, face t face, n technlgy invlved.
4．Why did the authr initially jin the AI prject?
A.T test ut the new technlgy.
B.T preserve her parents’ vice.
C.T learn mre abut her parents’ life.
D.T remve the wrry abut her parents’ health.
5．What can we learn abut the authr’s parents?
A.They liked talking a lt.
B.They died frm the illnesses.
C.They ppsed jining the prject at first.
D.They prvided data fr the prject.
6．What des the underlined wrd “mesmerizing" mean in paragraph 4?
A.Alarming.B.Fascinating.C.Inspiring.D.Disgusting.
7．What des the authr realize at last?
A.AI means never saying gdbye t ur parents.
B.The advances in AI technlgy have prs and cns.
C.The real cnnectin with ur parents matters mst.

Is there any such thing as a salt tth? We are familiar with a sweet tth, alng with the negative effects f sugar. We are bradly aware f the disadvantages f t much salt, including high bld pressure, which puts pressure n the bld vessels (血管), the heart and the kidneys. It can als lead t water retentin (水肿). But we dn’t tend t plice hw much salt we eat — at least, nt as rigrusly as with sugar — r questin whether we are just paying attentin t ur bdies, which require sme salt fr muscles t wrk prperly, r we are being cntrlled by a strng urge.
A salt tth is quite unlike a sweet tth. It desn’t create an appetite fr itself at the hrmne level. But salt des make ur taste buds (味蕾) get used t it, s that the mre yu eat, the mre yu need t get the same salty hit. This is why chefs can get heavy-handed with it.
As Sam Blm, a nutritinal therapist, explains, “What is generally mre cncerning is the fat that is used tgether with salt, like salty crisps, fries and fast fd. Ready meals are ften the wrst fr hidden salts. Anything that adds flavr that isn’t a spice r herb will prbably have salt added t it and can make yu want t eat mre because it tastes gd. The salt and fat cmbinatin in these fds is what causes prblems with chlesterl (胆固醇). The salt that peple add t a meal is much less cncerning.”
Nutritinists’ suggestin is cnvincing: When the desire fr salt hits, avid ging straight fr salty snack fds such as crisps and instead ensure yu are well hydrated. Seek ut whle fds, such as lives and leafy greens. These fds will help yu alleviate the desire fr salt, which may ften be due t a desire fr nutrient-rich fd.
8．What des the underlined wrd “rigrusly” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Generally.B.Strictly.C.Largely.D.Pleasantly.
9．Why is salt different frm sugar accrding t paragraph 2?
A.Salt attracts chefs.
B.Salt gets peple adapted.
C.Salt can change hrmne level.
D.Salt generates a special appetite.
10．What is Sam Blm’s attitude twards ready meals?
A.Objective.B.Apprving.C.Negative.D.Ambiguus.
11．What des the last paragraph mainly talk abut?
A.Ways f seeking ut whle fd.
B.Reasns fr getting the desire fr salt.
C.Attitudes twards seeking fr nutrient fd.
D.Appraches t relieving the eagerness fr salt.
Odrs (气味) are cmplex and ften have changeable structures, and can shw meaningful infrmatin abut an animal’s surrundings, like the lcatin f fd surces. But it has previusly been assumed that mammalian (哺乳动物的) brains can`t fully prcess these tempral changes in smell because they happen s rapidly, much faster than an animal can smell.
Using behaviral experiments, researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL(University Cllege Lndn)fund that mice can, in fact, detect very rapid variatins within drs, at rates previusly nt thught pssible. They als shwed that mice can use this infrmatin t distinguish whether drs are cming frm the same r different surces, even if they are very clse t each ther.
This suggests that the mammalian lfactry (嗅觉的) system is als key in prcessing the awareness f physical space and surrundings, guiding decisins imprtant t survival.
Andreas Schaefer, grup leader f the Sensry Circuits and Neurtechnlgy Labratry at UCL says: “Frm an evlutinary (进化的) pint f view ur findings make sense as they help t explain why there is a lt f cmputatinal pwer within the lfactry bulb, the part f the brain where the nse sends signals t. It’s nt nly prcessing chemicals frm drs but als calculating infrmatin abut physical distance and surces. It wuld have been strange fr evlutin t create such prcessing pwer in this part f the brain if it were nt being used t help the species survive.”
In ne key experiment, the scientists trained mice t detect whether tw drs were cming frm the same surce r separate surces. The mice were able t crrectly distinguish this difference.
As part f the study, the scientists designed new technlgies including a high-speed dr delivery device and equipment that can measure several drs with extremely high precisin. These innvatins will enable mre cmplicated wrk n the lfactry bulb, increasing ur knwledge f hw this brain regin prcesses infrmatin abut the envirnment and influences behavir.
12．What has been previusly assumed impssible fr mammalian brains?
A.Sensing fast and small changes in drs.
B.Respnding t different behavirs prperly.
C.Sptting relatinships amng different drs.
D.Remembering the exact lcatin f fd surces.
13．What d Schaefer’s wrds imply abut the lfactry bulb?
A.It sends signals t the nse.B.It changes an animal’s evlutin.
C.It detects an animal’s surrundings.D.It recgnizes different parts f the brain.
14．Why did the scientists create new technlgies?
A.T investigate the structures f several drs.
B.T learn mre abut hw the lfactry bulb wrks.
C.T develp mre treatments fr the lfactry bulb.
D.T explre the impact f the envirnment n the brain.
15．What des the text mainly tell us?
A.Mice might have a unique lfactry system.
B.Mammalian brains wn cmputatinal pwer.
C.Different structures f drs attract different mice.
D.Rapid changing smells can teach mice abut space.

Seek ut whle fds, such as lives and leafy greens. These fds will help yu alleviate the desire fr salt, which may ften be due t a desire fr nutrient-rich fd.(营养学家的建议很有说服力：当你想吃盐的时候，不要直接吃含盐的零食，比如薯片，而是要保证你的水分充足。选择天然食物，比如橄榄和绿叶蔬菜。这些食物将帮助你减轻对盐的渴望，这可能通常是由于对营养丰富的食物的渴望)”可知，最后一段主要是讲缓解对盐的渴望的方法。故选D。
12．答案： A
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Odrs (气味) are cmplex and ften have changeable structures, and can shw meaningful infrmatin abut an animal’s surrundings, like the lcatin f fd surces. But it has previusly been assumed that mammalian (哺乳动物的) brains can`t fully prcess these tempral changes in smell because they happen s rapidly, much faster than an animal can smell.”（气味很复杂，通常具有可变的结构，可以显示有关动物周围环境的有意义的信息，例如食物来源的位置。但之前人们认为哺乳动物的大脑无法完全处理这些嗅觉的瞬时变化，因为它们发生得非常快，比动物的嗅觉快得多。）可知，气味是复杂的，通常具有可变的结构，可以显示动物周围环境的有意义的信息，比如食物来源的位置。但此前人们认为，哺乳动物的大脑无法完全处理这些嗅觉的时间变化，因为它们发生得太快了。第二段中“Using behaviral experiments, researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL(University Cllege Lndn)fund that mice can, in fact, detect very rapid variatins within drs, at rates previusly nt thught pssible.”（弗朗西斯克里克研究所和伦敦大学学院的研究人员通过行为实验发现，老鼠实际上可以检测到气味的快速变化，其变化速度是以前认为不可能的。）可知，研究人员发现，事实上，老鼠可以以以前认为不可能的速度检测到气味的快速变化，还能辨别气味是否来自相同或不同的来源。由此可知，此前人们认为哺乳动物的大脑不可能感知气味快速而细微的变化。故选A。
13．答案： C
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“It’s nt nly prcessing chemicals frm drs but als calculating infrmatin abut physical distance and surces. It wuld have been dd fr evlutin t create such prcessing pwer in this part f the brain if it were nt being used t help the species survive.”（它不仅处理气味中的化学物质，还计算有关物理距离和来源的信息。如果不是为了帮助物种生存，大脑的这一部分会进化出如此强大的处理能力，这真是太奇怪了）可知，嗅球不仅从气味中处理化学物质，而且还计算物理距离和来源的信息，并且这些是可以用来帮助物种生存的，由此可推知，谢弗的话暗示了嗅球可以探测动物的周围环境。故选C。
14．答案： B
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段“As part f the study, the scientists designed new technlgies including a high-speed dr delivery device and equipment that can measure several drs with extremely high precisin. These innvatins will enable mre cmplicated wrk n the lfactry bulb, increasing ur knwledge f hw this brain regin prcesses infrmatin abut the envirnment and influences behavir.”（作为研究的一部分，科学家们设计了新技术，包括高速气味传送装置和可以以极高精度测量多种气味的设备。这些创新将使嗅球研究更加复杂，让我们更了解这个大脑区域如何处理环境信息并影响行为。）可知，科学家们创造新技术是为了进一步了解嗅球的工作原理。故选B。
15．答案： D
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Using behaviral experiments, researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL(University Cllege Lndn)fund that mice can, in fact, detect very rapid variatins within drs, at rates previusly nt thught pssible. They als shwed that mice can use this infrmatin t distinguish whether drs are cming frm the same r different surces, even if they are very clse t each ther.”（弗朗西斯克里克研究所和伦敦大学学院的研究人员通过行为实验发现，小鼠实际上能够以以前认为不可能的速度检测到气味的快速变化。他们还表明，即使气味彼此非常接近，小鼠也可以利用这些信息区分气味是来自相同来源还是不同来源。）和第三段“This suggests that the mammalian lfactry (嗅觉的) system is als key in prcessing the awareness f physical space and surrundings, guiding decisins imprtant t survival.”（这表明，哺乳动物的嗅觉系统在处理物理空间和周围环境意识方面也发挥着关键作用，可以指导对生存至关重要的决策。）可知，文章主要讲述了研究表明，快速变化的气味可以让老鼠了解空间知识。故选D。
