The Yellw River is knwn as the mther river f the Chinese peple. Hwever, fld cntrl and disaster frecasts (灾害预报) f the river have always been challenging fr peple. Nw, scientists can better wrk n these prblems by giving the river a digital twin.
The digital twin f the Yellw River uses different kinds f technlgies, including big data, artificial intelligence and the internet f things. Devices(设备)are set up alng the river t cllect and transmit (传送) infrmatin t the center. Based n the infrmatin, a 3D mdel f the river is shwed n the cmputer screen. It’s like the Yellw River has a twin that describes its real cnditins.
One big thing in the digital gvernance (治理) is “smart stnes”. A smart stne is a detectr (探测器) with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter. They are put in imprtant dikes (堤坝) t recrd and reprt the mvement f dike stnes. If it feels any mvement f the dikes stnes, it will send an alarm t the center fr quick respnse.
In the sky, there are flying drnes (无人机). They are designed t lk at the river, its dikes and fld preventin prjects. The drnes prvide researchers with phts and infrmatin. The researchers use this infrmatin t update a 3D mdel t watch the changes f water t avid disasters.
Under the water and up in the sky, intelligent systems are helping t prtect the Yellw River. Accrding t the Ministry f Water Resurces, in the future, we can expect t see an even mre cmplete digital system fr the river.
5．What des the digital twin f the Yellw River d?
A．T warn peple t prtect Yellw River.
B．T imprve fld cntrl and disaster preventin.
C．T d research with the histry f the Yellw River.
D．T cllect and transmit infrmatin t turist center.
6．What are “smart stnes” in this system used t d?
A．T repair the dikes alng the river.
B．T prevent the dike stnes mving int the river.
C．T mnitr and reprt the mvement f dike stnes.
D．T send pictures f the stnes alng the dikes t the center.
7．Hw d flying drnes wrk abve the Yellw River?
A．They update 3D mdel t avid disasters.
B．They tell weather changes alng the river.
C．They send phts and infrmatin t researchers.
D．They watch the dikes but fld preventin prjects.
8．What is the main idea f this passage?
A．The Yellw River is the rigin f Chinese culture.
B．The digital twin is helping prtect the Yellw River better.
C．The Yellw River will avid disasters with the digital twin.
D．The Yellw River is facing fld and disasters all the time.

Me and My Brain
We all knw that meaningful changes happen in ur bdies during adlescence (青春期), but have yu ever stpped t wnder what’s actually ging n inside ur brains during this time?
T paint a clear picture, we shuld first knw abut urselves with the different parts f the brain. Did yu knw, fr example, that ur brains are made up f arund 100 billin nerve cells (神经细胞) called neurns (神经元)? And cming frm these neurns are several branch-like structures fr sending and receiving electrical signals? Every time we d r think anything, a signal is sent. The signal travels dwn a lng structure called the axn (轴突) and, at the end, it passes acrss small gaps called synapses (神经元的突触) t the dendrites (树突) f anther neurn, which receive the signal. In this way, messages are sent acrss ur neural netwrk.
Our brain structure changes greatly as we grw up. Newbrn babies have almst all their neurns but few cnnectins between them, which is why they can’t d very much. After a few mnths hwever, the number f cnnectins increases quickly, which in turn helps small kids master new skills such as walking and talking. Mst brain develpment is cmpleted in the first few years, but we nw knw that ur brains cntinue t develp thrughut ur lives and perhaps the mst surprising time f change and develpment is during adlescence.
During this perid f rerganizatin, the brain ntices a sudden increase in neurns nt dissimilar t a plant grwing uncntrllably in spring. Just as we cut back a plant t make it strnger and healthier, we cut back ur brains. The cnnectins that are used becme strnger, whereas thse which aren’t used dry and die. S, the mre ften an actin r thught is activated, the strnger the cnnectins becme between the neurns, which in turn makes the part f the brain being used strnger. This explains why the mre yu d smething, the better yu becme at it, reinfrcing the ld saying “practice makes perfect”. In fact, the teenage brain prvides cnditins fr perfecting skills such as playing a musical instrument, speaking anther language, r learning a difficult cmputer game. It culd be argued that teenagers decide the develpment f their wn grey matter thrugh the activities they take part in and their experiences.
It may als be unsurprising t many t learn that the last part f the adlescent brain t develp is the frntal crtex (额皮质), respnsible fr self-cntrl, prblem slving and decisin making. S, lng befre teens are gd at abstract thinking (抽象思维) and lgical decisin making, they depend n the emtinal center f the brain t make chices and think. S perhaps unpredictable, uncertain, risk taking teenage behavirs, ften put dwn t hrmnes (荷尔蒙), may actually have mre t d with what’s ging n inside ur brain.
12．What d we learn abut the structure f the brain?
A．All neurns are activated when we think.
B．The structure f a brain cell is cmpared t a tree.
C．Neurns allw a message t travel arund the brain.
D．The structure f a brain changes when a message is sent.
13．What des Paragraph 3 tell us?
A．A decisin helps babies learn hw t speak.
B．Mst changes in brain happen after adulthd.
C．The prcess f brain develpment is cntinuus.
D．Babies are brn with the ability t d anything.
14．The wrd “reinfrcing” in Paragraph 4 prbably means “_________”.
A．judgingB．challengingC．supprtingD．limiting
15．The writer agrees that teenagers ________.
A．are cleverer than they used t be when they study their brains
B．are misunderstd and they can play difficult cmputer games
C．want t learn mre abut the changes in their brains and bdies
D．can benefit frm understanding the changes that happen in their brains
On Feb. 15, a new vide mdel called Sra prmises t create a vide up t a minute lng frm a shrt text descriptin. Just tell Sra yur idea, and watch it make a vide right befre yur eyes. Sra is described as “eye-ppping”, “wrld-changing”, and “breathtaking, yet scaring.”
The vides frm OpenAI’s Sra are full f details. One vide f a Tky street scene shws that Sra has learned hw bjects fit tgether in 3-D: the camera ges int the scene t fllw a cuple as they walk past a rw f shps. Sra knws hw things shuld lk in real life.
Sra lks at many vides and learns frm them by breaking them int very small bits. It uses these bits t make a new vide. The new vide is grey at first and very messy. Then, Sra fixes the vide until it lks gd and smth. Sra als gets help frm ChatGPT, which turns the user’s shrt sentences int clear instructins. This helps Sra make the vide just as yu asked.
Sra may find “busy” pictures hard t understand. Fr example, when a persn mves, things arund them change. In ne vide created by Sra, a grandma blws the candle n a birthday cake, but the flame (火焰) desn’t mve. Sra may nt be able t tell “left” frm “right”.
OpenAI als says that Sra deals with cclusin well. But ne prblem is that they fail t fllw bjects when they are ut f sight. Fr example, if a truck passes in frnt f a street sign, the sign might nt reappear afterward.
In a vide f a papercraft underwater scene, Sra has added what lks like cuts between different pieces f ftage (镜头), and the mdel has kept the same style between them. But it’s nt perfect. In the Tky vide, cars t the left lk smaller than the peple walking beside them. They als pp (突然出现) in and ut between the trees. “There’s sme wrk t be dne,” says Brks. “Fr example, if smene ges ut f view fr a lng time, they wn’t cme back.”
“Sra seems like a very imprtant leap frward,” says Sam Gregry, a human rights rganizatin that specializes in the use and misuse f vide technlgy. “But there are tw sides f the cin,” he says. “The meaningful abilities help many mre peple t be strytellers using vide. And there are als pssibilities fr misuse.”
OpenAI has als realized the risks that cme with a vide mdel. The OpenAI team plans t draw n the safety testing. “We’ll need t get mre feedback (反馈) and learn mre abut the types f risks that need t be slved with vide befre it wuld make sense fr us t put Sra int use,” says Ramesh.
16．Which f the fllwing wrds has the clsest meaning t “cclusin”?
A．being seenB．being fllwedC．being cveredD．being drpped
17．The fllwing sentence wuld best be placed at the end f _________.
Perhaps it will be an imaginatin tl r a misinfrmatin machine.
A．Paragraph 4B．Paragraph 3C．Paragraph 2D．Paragraph 1
18．The next part f the passage may be abut _________.
A．the safety testingB．the misuse f Sra
C．tw sides f SraD．anther vide mdel
19．What can mst pssibly be the writer’s real purpse?
A．T encurage us t use Sra t make shrt vides.
B．T explain t us hw t use Sra t create shrt vides.
C．T remind us t care abut the prblems and risks Sra has.
D．T intrduce what advantages Sra will bring t ur daily life.
Hilary Smith belnged t a gd family. But by the age f twenty, he had spent all the mney the gd ld family had. He then had sme truble with the bank and was put in prisn. He escaped frm the prisn and ran t Australia at nce.
Hilary did nt like Australia, and Australia did nt like Hilary. What he culd d seemed t be ne f tw things: die r wrk. Then he remembered that he was nt alne in the wrld. He had an aunt.
She was his father’s nly sister, but his father used t say she brught n glry (荣耀) t the family. Hilary, f curse, tried t discver what she had dne. It seemed that she had failed t marry a nbleman.

On the next day he went t the public library and examined a bk f law. It tld him what he already believed. When a wman is married, an earlier will lses its value. A new will must be made. If n new will is made, the mney ges t the nearest relatin. Hilary knew that he was his aunt’s nly relatin. His future was bright.
After a few mnths had passed, Hilary’s prblems became serius. He badly needed mney. He had expensive tastes, and wed a lt f mney t shpkeepers. They believed in him because his aunt was rich, but the debt was terrible.
Unluckily his aunt did nt want t discuss mney matters at all. In the end they had a quarrel abut the small amunt f ten punds. Hilary was nt very angry. He began t wnder abut a new prblem. Was it kind t want his aunt t live any lnger? Was it nt better fr her t die nw? While he was cnsidering what t d, his aunt tld him that she was ging t send fr her lawyer. S she was ging t make a new will, Hilary thught. She might leave all her mney t smene else. Sn he reached a clear decisin. He must d a great kindness t the pr ld wman.
One night when the ld servant wh had been nursing his aunt went ff, he dubled the amunt f sme medicine. The ttal amunt was t great and it culd just put her t sleep frever.
“Thank yu, ”his aunt tk the glass frm his hand with a grateful lk. “I want, mre than anything, t sleep, and never t wake up again. Is that what yu wish, Hilary? Dn’t blame (责怪) me if I have sme dubts abut what yu intended t d. Sick peple get these ideas, yu knw. One thing I ught t explain t yu. Mr. Parks never married me. He already had a wife and culdn’t marry again. That made yur flish father very angry with me…Well, if I am alive tmrrw I shall make anther will in yur favr (赞成). If I die tnight, yu’ll get nthing…. N, Hilary, dn’t try t take the glass away. If yu d that, I shall knw, and I dn’t want t knw. Gdnight, Hilary. ”

What age des duku nianhua refer t?
In ne f his pems, Tang Dynasty pet Du Mu nce cmpared girls arund the age f 13 t cardamm (豆蔻) flwers in the bud (含苞待放). Since then, duku nianhua has been used t describe teen girls f this age.
Ancient Chinese peple liked t describe smene’s age using titles (称谓), rather than the exact number. Fr example, chuitia, meaning “straight hair”, meant a hairstyle that was ppular fr very yung children in ancient China. It was used fr children frm 3 t 8 years ld.
Zngjia, meaning “twisted hrn”, was used t describe children frm 9 t 14 years ld. Back then, children wuld divide their hair int tw halves and twist each half int a knt (结) n the tp f their head, just like tw hrns.
Shufa, meaning t tie ne’s hair up, was used fr bys wh had reached the age f 15. Bys wuld let dwn their “twisted hrns” and tie up their hair in a bunch (一束) when they turned 15.
Ruguan, r “junir cap”, was used fr yung men in their twenties. These men wuld g t a hat-wearing ceremny when they turned 20 t shw that they had becme adults.
The “year f independence” was when a man turned 30.
At the age f 40, ne “will nt becme puzzled”.
When a man turned 50, he had reached the “year f understanding the mandate (命令) f heaven”, meaning t becme aware f ne’s fate and n lnger make any useless effrts.
Finally, if yu were lucky t live past ne hundred years, really a lng life, yu wuld be titled qiyi (期颐).
24．At what age d children reach the stage described by chuitia?

C．These titles are fr children.D．These titles stand fr lng life.
27．What d the underlined wrd “independence” in the passage mean in Chinese?
A．不惑。B．而立。C．知天命。D．期颐。
28．What’s the best title f the passage?
A．Interesting ancient peple.

Wuld yu BET n the future f this man? He is 53 years ld. Mst f his adult life has been a lsing struggle against debt and misfrtune (不幸). A war injury has made his left hand stp functining, and he has ften been in prisn. Driven by heaven-knws-what mtives, he determines t write a bk.
The bk turns ut t be ne that has appealed t the wrld fr mre than 350 years. That frmer prisner was Cervantes, and the bk was Dn Quixte (《堂吉诃德》). And the stry brings an interesting questin: why d sme peple find new energy and creativity t the end f their days, but thers find them lng befre?
We’ve all knwn peple wh run ut f steam befre they reach life’s halfway mark. I’m nt talking abut thse wh fail t get t the tp. We can’t all get there. I’m talking abut peple wh have stpped learning n grwing because they have taken in the fixed attitudes and pinins that all t ften cme with passing years.
Mst f us, in fact, prgressively narrw the variety f ur lives. We succeed in ur field f specializatin and then becme trapped in it. Nthing surprises us. We lse ur sense f wnder. But, if we are willing t learn, the pprtunities are everywhere.
The things we learn in maturity (成熟) seldm invlve infrmatin and skills. We learn t bear (容忍) with the things we can’t change. We learn t avid self-pity. We learn that hwever much we try t please, sme peple are never ging t lve us — an idea that trubles at first but is eventually relaxing.
With high mtivatin and enthusiasm (动机和热情), we can keep n learning. Then we will knw hw imprtant it is t have meaning in ur life. Hwever, we can achieve meaning nly if we have made a prmise t smething larger than ur wn little egs (自我), whether t lved nes, t fellw humans, t wrk, r t sme mral cncept.
Many f us regard “prmise” with such “caring” jbs as teaching and nursing. But ding any rdinary jb as well as ne can is in itself an admirable prmise. Peple wh wrk tward such excellence — whether they are driving a truck, r running a stre — make the wrld better just by being the kind f peple they are. They’ve learned life’s mst valuable lessn.
29．The passage starts with the stry f Cervantes t shw that ________.
A．lss f freedm stimulates ne’s creativity
B．age isn’t a blck (障碍) t achieving ne’s gal
C．disability cannt stp a man fighting fr success
D．misfrtune prevents a man fighting against his fate

A．End ne’s fight fr freedm.
B．Waste ne’s energy taking risks.
C．Miss the pprtunity t succeed.
D．Lse the interest t cntinue learning.
31．What des the authr want t tell us in Paragraph 5?
A．A wise man can live withut self-pity.
B．A strng-willed man can bear suffering.
C．A man is suppsed t satisfy peple arund him.

Open an app, place yur rder, and wait fr yur fd t be delivered. This is hw many yung peple eat in China these days. Accrding t the latest data (数据), abut 421 millin Chinese peple use nline fd delivery services. That’s just half f the ttal number f Internet users in China.
Which grup f peple is rdering fd nline the mst? It’s mainly yung peple. A recent reprt by Meituan shwed that 86.3% f the service’s users are between 20 and 34 years ld. They are the main frce driving the develpment f the fd delivery industry.
Small families depend largely n fd delivery services, Chinese families have changed in size ver the past ten years. In 2002, nly 7.7% f families have nly ne persn. But this number increased t 15.6% in 2017. Tw-persn families rse frm 18.4% in 2002 t 27.2% in 2017. Fr small families, cking always takes lts f time and energy, s rdering fd nline has becme mre ppular.
The imprvement f China’s fd delivery services has made mre custmers interested. Accrding t Meituan’s reprt, the average (平均) time it takes t make a fd delivery drpped frm 38 minutes in 2016 t 29 minutes in 2020. Many delivery apps are ffering mre services, delivering prducts such as fruit, vegetables, medicine and even flwers. As their services cntinue t imprve, the fd delivery industry will keep grwing in the future.
33．Hw many internet users are there in China?
A．842 millin.B．631.5 millin.C．421 millin.D．210.5 millin.
34．Why has rdering fd nline becme mre ppular?
A．Peple are lazier than befre.B．Families are becming smaller.
C．Families prefer different fd.D．Peple aren’t gd at cking.
35．What des the writer think f the fd delivery industry?
A．It will be grwing well.B．Its service badly needs imprving.
C．It shuldn’t ffer ther services.D．Its develpment will slw dwn.
36．The writer intrduces the tpic by _________.
A．telling a stryB．answering a questin

Can yu imagine peple will enjy a muth-watering, delicius ribeye steak (肉眼牛排) withut harming a single animal? Aleph Farms, a fd-tech cmpany, just created the wrld’s first 3D-printed ribeye steak. The thick and juicy slab (厚片) smelt and tasted just like a steak. But unlike any steak fund n a menu r stre shelf tday, this ne didn’t cme frm a slaughtered animal.
Scientists printed it with a machine which is much like a standard 3D-printer. The difference is that this printer used cells (细胞) as a frm f living ink. The technlgy includes the printing f real living cells that are grwn in a lab. They are given nutrients (养分) and kept at a temperature that lets them keep grwing.
Interest in this kind f new meat has grw n in recent years, partly because the technlgy shws it is pssible. Supprters say that if meat can be printed, then n animal wuld need t lse its life t becme peple’s fd. S, there are plenty f reasns t be excited abut the 3D-printed steak.
Hwever, we can’t get this new meat n the stre shelf yet. Making meat this way is much harder and csts mre than raising and killing an animal. One f the mst expensive parts is the cell-grwth medium (培养基). This mix f nutrients keeps the cells alive and dividing. If scientists can find lwer-cst methds, we’ll be in with a chance f getting beef withut killing.
37．What des the underlined wrd “slaughtered” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Wild.B．Magic.C．Wunded.D．Killed.
38．Hw was the 3D-printed steak created by the fd-tech cmpany?
A．It was grwn frm living cells in the lab.B．It was given nutrients by killing an animal.
C．It was prduced by a standard 3D-printer.D．It was kept at a lw temperature t grw.

China’s flying cars take wing n wrld stage
BY TOM GREEN|WORLDDAILY|Updated:2024-01-1708:31
With innvative (革新的) technlgical experience, Chinese high-tech prducts, frm new rbts, electric cars, t smart phnes and s n, have shwn a strng ability n the internatinal stage and becme the new favurites f CES participants.
At the CES 2024 in Las Vegas, which is the mst pwerful tech event in the wrld, China’s flying cars attracted media and peple frm all ver the wrld.
Accrding t the vice-president f a Hi-tech cmpany, their flying car is fr bth rad, driving and flying and has cmpleted its first flight.“Drivers can easily switch between flying and driving mdes,” he said. “When yu’re driving n the rad, it perates as an intelligent car. It’s abut the size f a regular car. In flight mde, it can take ff and fly ver traffic jams and rivers.”
During the research and develpment prcess f flying cars, Chinese super-car cmpanies have faced varius challenges and difficulties. These challenges culd be either gd r bad, but they are nrmal. Challenge is a natural part f perating in any cuntry. “Facing the challenges,” the manager f a super-car cmpany said, “Our first methd is t stick t ur gal: Develping prducts t slve prblems fr human beings and cnsumers and building a new mde f transprtatin fr the future—giving cars wings. Secnd, in key technlgies, we insist n cmplete self-develpment. In this way, we nt nly can better cntrl ur csts and quality, but als imprve ur cmpetitive strength.”
The influence f flying cars n human life culd be great, affecting everything frm daily rutines t glbal transprtatin netwrks. Hwever, achieving smarter travel will require further effrts.
45．Which f the fllwing shws China’s prgress in the field f high-tech?
A．Chinese Hi-tech prducts have received much attentin frm CES.
B．Hi-tech cmpanies have made a lt f mney frm selling their prducts.
C．Chinese tech cmpanies have invented a lt f intelligent rbts.
D．Buyers arund the wrld are satisfied with the price f Chinese prducts.
46．What is the advantage f the flying car in flight mde?
A．It can run at a high speed n land.
B．It can help drivers save much time.
C．It can switch int an intelligent car.
D．It is mre cnvenient than a plane.
47．Hw d the super-car cmpanies deal with the prblems they meet?
A．They reduce the price f the prducts s that they can sell mre.
B．They ask ther super-car cmpanies frm abrad fr sme help.
C．They try t avid the difficulties when develping their prducts.
D．They stay fcused n their gals and insist n self-develpment.
48．What is the purpse f the passage?

A bat and a ball cst $1.10 in ttal, The bat csts $1.00 mre than the ball. Hw much des the ball cst? If yu answered 10 cents, yu’re nt alne—mst peple give the same answer (the crrect answer is 5 cents). It’s an example f hw we ften rely n intuitive (直觉的) respnses—answers we feel are true. Peple give answers that “pp int their mind,” says scientist Steven Slman. We dn’t spend much time thinking and checking whether the answer is right r wrng.
The bat and ball questin helps explain why we ften believe in fake news. “It is part f human nature t believe”, says Slman. “But the trick with fake news is t knw t verify”—in ther wrds, t stp and questin what yu knw.
In ne experiment, Slman invented a discvery called helium rain. They tld a grup f vlunteers abut it, but admitted they culd nt fully explain what it was. They then asked the vlunteers t rate (划分等级) their wn understanding f helium rain. Mst vlunteers rated themselves l ut f 7, meaning they did nt understand it.
The researchers then tld anther grup f vlunteers abut the discvery. This time, they said that scientists culd fully explain hw it wrks. When asked t rate their understanding, the vlunteers gave an average answer f 2. The scientists’ cnfidence gave the vlunteers an increased sense f their wn understanding, Slman says.
Anther explanatin fr the spread f fake news is “mtivated reasning,” writes Adam Waytz, a prfessr at the Kellgg Schl. We are naturally mre likely t believe things that cnfirm ur existing pinins. If yu already have a negative (负面的) pinin abut smene, yu’re mre likely t trust damaging stries abut them. Over time, Waytz argues, “mtivated reasning can lead t a false scial cnsensus (共识).”
S, in a wrld where misleading infrmatin is cmmn, is there a way t prtect urselves? “I dn’t think it’s pssible t train individuals t verify everything that they face,” Slman admits. “It is just t human t believe what yu’re tld.”
Hwever, training peple t care abut fact-checking is imprtant, he argues, especially in nline cmmunities. Think f the headlines and stries that are shared n yur scial media feed every day. Prbably these fit in with yur wn wrldview—but perhaps nt all f them are true.
“Develp a standard in yur cmmunity that says, ‘We shuld check things and nt just take them at face value,’ Slman says. “Verify befre yu believe.”
49．What des the underlined wrd “verify” mean in this passage?
A．take a clse lk at smething
B．think abut smething fr a lng time
C．make sure smething is true
D．express an pinin abut smething
50．Which f the fllwing is an example f “mtivated reasning”?
A．Yu pst a message nline that gives yur pinin abut a news stry.
B．Yu understand why yur classmate is late every day because he has many excuses.
C．Yu dn’t believe the negative news abut a player because he plays fr yur favurite team.
D．Yu’re nt sure if a stry n scial media is true, s yu search nline fr mre infrmatin.
51．The fllwing paragraph can best g after.
Accrding t Slman, studies shw that knwledge spreads like a disease. “If everyne arund yu is saying they understand why a well-knwn persn is lying, then yu’re ging t start thinking that yu understand, t.” Slman says.
A．Paragraph 4B．Paragraph 5C．Paragraph 6D．Paragraph 7

A．Supprtive.B．Against.C．Wrried.D．Unknwn.
McCrmick Place in Chicag is the largest cnventin center in Nrth America. It’s cvered in glass, which is enjyable fr humans but deadly fr birds. On Oct 5, nearly 1000 birds were fund dead after having cllided (碰撞) with the building’s glass walls. Mst f them died n the spt because f brken bnes in their heads.
One key reasn is the glass. The birds get fled by it. During the day, the birds fly tward it as it reflects (反射) a perfect image f the sky and nearby trees. As night falls, the bright light frm glass buildings attracts (吸引) the birds, wh are usually guided by the light f the mn and stars. The recent cllisin ccurred between the night f Oct 4 and early next mrning, when the lights in the building were n fr an event.
Every year, nearly ne billin birds cllide with glass in the US, accrding t the US Fish and Wildlife Service. In China, bird cllisins are als cmmn. In the autumn f 2022 and the spring f 2023, the Natinal Anti-bird Cllisins Actin Alliance reprted a ttal f 190 cases f bird cllisin, which included several types f birds listed as secnd-class prtected wildlife.
These sad stries culd have been avided if actin had been taken. Many cuntries and regins have put frward building design ideas t help keep birds safe. These include using less glass in building walls and adding bird-friendly materials and stickers (贴纸) nt the buildings’ walls. Turning ff lights at night als helps avid bird cllisins.
Apart frm regulatins (规定) fr bird-friendly building design, we can als d ur part t save birds by putting stickers n the glass windws in ur hmes and clsing the curtains (窗帘) at night.

German physicist Albert Einstein is ne f the mst famus scientists f all time, the persnificatin f genius and the subject f a whle industry f schlarship. In The Einsteinian Revlutin, tw experts n Einstein’s life and his thery f relativity — Israeli physicist Hanch Gutfreund and German histrian f science Jürgen Renn — ffer an riginal and penetrating (犀利的) analysis f Einstein’s revlutinary cntributins t physics and ur view f the physical wrld.
Fr the first time ever, by setting Einstein’s wrk in the lng curse f the evlutin f scientific knwledge, Gutfreund and Renn discver the ppular miscnceptin f Einstein as an uncnventinal scientific genius wh single-handedly created mdern physics — and by pure thught alne.
As a large part f the bk explains, Einstein typically argued that science prgresses thrugh steady evlutin, nt thrugh revlutinary breaks with the past. He saw his thery f relativity nt as smething frm scratch, but a natural extensin f the classical physics develped by pineers such as Italian astrnmer Galile Galilei and English physicist Isaac Newtn in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, as well as nineteenth-century physicists.
The authrs highlight hw classical physics cannt be separated cleanly frm mdern Einsteinian physics. The bk als includes substantial sectins n Plish astrnmer Niclaus Cpernicus and Galile whse methds inspired Einstein. When Einstein cnsidered himself as standing n their shulders, he meant that, withut their cntributins, he wuld nt have frmulated (阐述) the thery f relativity.
The Einsteinian Revlutin is an imprtant and thught-prvking cntributin t the schlarly literature n Einstein and his surprising scientific creativity between 1905 and 1925. Gutfreund and Renn might nt have given the final answer as t why Einstein, f all peple, revlutinized physics in the way that he did. But they argue in fascinating detail that, t understand his genius, ne must take int accunt nt just the earlier histry f physics but als the histry f knwledge mre bradly. Althugh nt always an easy read, the bk will interest physicists and histrians alike.
63．What’s the attitude f Gutfreund and Renn t the ppular viewpint n Einstein?
A．Oppsing.B．Favrable.C．Ambiguus.D．Indifferent.
64．What des the underlined phrase “frm scratch” prbably mean?
A．Frm nthing.B．Up t a certain standard.
C．By learning frm thers.D．With previus knwledge.
65．What des the authr mean t say by mentining the famus physicists?
A．Their ideas were rejected by Einstein.
B．Their devtin t physics impressed Einstein.
C．Their research cntributed t Einstein’s success.
D．Their hard wrk deserved the wrldwide respect.
66．Where is the text mst prbably taken frm?
A．A guidebk t a curse.B．An intrductin t a bk.
C．An essay n Albert Einstein.D．A review f physics develpment.
Making Electrnics Think
There is ne thing in the wrld that’s smaller than yur fingernail. But withut it, almst all f ur electrnic prducts might nt wrk. It’s the micrchip (芯片)! It is ne f the mst imprtant inventins in human histry. Hw much d yu knw abut micrchips? Here are sme basics fr yu t learn it.
What are micrchips?
Micrchips aren’t ptat chips! They are very tiny electrnic devices (设备) that peple use t stre and manage infrmatin. There are mainly tw types f micrchips: lgic chips and memry chips. Lgic chips are like the “brain” f electrnic devices-they deal with infrmatin t finish a task. Memry chips stre infrmatin.
Hw are micrchips used?
Micrchips are in everything electrical frm cmputers t cellphnes, TVs, cameras, cars, airplanes, appliances and medical equipment. Micrchips are als used in GPS tracking devices and identificatin cards and are used t keep track f activities and infrmatin.
Micrchips take and prcess digital infrmatin and make it usable straightaway. Fr example, a Central Prcessing Unit (CPU), r prcessr, is the main chip in a cmputer. It’s respnsible fr carrying ut all the cmputer’s tasks.
Hw small can micrchips be?
One micrchip is smaller than a buttn n yur shirt but it has billins f transistrs (晶体管). S it’s easy t understand just hw small the features n a chip need t be. Chip features are measured in nanmeters (纳米). A nanmeter is ne billinth f a meter. The smaller the features in the patterns created, the mre transistrs can fit n a chip, and the mre the chip can d.

In the past few years, cars have becme smarter and smarter, In mre than nine cities, there are driverless taxis in China. Acrss the wrld, many “smart rads” have been in practice, and mre are being built. Sme new technlgies are being put t use.
● Rads that recharge (给……充电)
Glbal warming has frced us t search fr new energy surces. Why nt lk t the rads? With the right technlgies, cars arund the wrld culd be prducing energy as they g.
Piezelectric (压电的) rads mix traditinal asphalt (柏油) with new materials. They use vibratins (震动) frm passing cars t prduce electricity.
Piezelectricity, in fact, is nthing new. It was invented in 1880.
Hwever, it has never been widely used befre nw. Lancaster University is ging t change that. It has been imprving the technlgy, including develping radside batteries that can stre the electricity.
● Built-in brain
Rads f the future may be able t knw hw many peple are n them. They culd send peple updates n weather and traffic situatins, and recharge electric cars as they drive.
This seems t be a dream, but a cmpany has almst made it cme true. By sensing the weight f a vehicle, the cmpany’s smart rads can recrd the speed f each wheel. After having cllected traffic data (数据), the rads will send it t the drivers.
● Rads that never freeze
It can be dangerus t drive in snwy weather. A tech cmpany has develped the snwless rads. When they feel snw r ice n their surfaces, the rads will heat themselves up, melting (使融化) the snw r ice away. The prject has been successfully tested n a few rads and in sme car parks.
72．What d Piezelectric rads use t prduce electricity?
A．Traditinal asphalt.B．Batteries in the radside.

Wang Xinyi, a cllege student frm Shandng, is shpping nline. His shpping cart is full f dmestic prducts. Wang is amng many yung Chinese wh wuld like t use dmestic prducts in their daily lives. Accrding t a reprt, nearly 70% f the pst-90s generatin (一代人) and arund 80% f the pst-00s generatin like t buy dmestic prducts. A similar reprt shwed that Chinese peple’s interest in dmestic prducts rse by 528% cmpared with 10 years ag.
Yu may wnder why dmestic prducts are getting mre and mre ppular, especially clthing, smartphnes and csmetics. That’s because they are high in quality (质量) and they als try t meet custmers’ needs. Mu Mu, a student frm Beijing Freign Studies University, fell in lve with a lcal cffee brand. “After saving a certain number f cffee bxes, yu can change them fr sme ther prducts. It’s really encuraging fr peple wh care abut the envirnment,” she said.
Anther reasn is that dmestic brands have their creative use f traditinal Chinese culture. Fr example, the Palace Museum has launched a cllectin f prducts inspired by traditinal Chinese styles f buildings.
The rise f dmestic brands shws nt nly Chinese peple’s strnger cnfidence and sense f natinal identity but als ur cuntry’s grwing strength in culture, technlgy and ecnmy.

Yu may nt realize it, but yu d it all the time. That is, begin with the end in mind. Yu draw up a plan befre yu build a huse. Yu read instructins befre yu make a cake. Yu create an utline befre yu write a paper. It’s part f life.
Let’s have a begin-with-the-end-in-mind experience by using yur imaginatin. Find a place where yu can be alne. First, clear yur mind. Dn’t think abut anything else. Then breathe deeply, and pen yur brain wide. Nw, let’s cme t the key part f the experience. In yur mind, picture smene walking tward yu abut half a blck away. At first yu can’t see wh it is. As this persn gets clser and clser, yu suddenly realize, believe it r nt, it’s yu. But it’s nt yu tday, it’s yu as yu’d like t be ne year frm nw. Nw think deeply. Ask yurself the fllwing questins:
What have yu dne with yur life ver the past year? Hw d yu feel inside? What d yu lk like? Has yur persnality grwn? Remember, this is yu as yu wuld like t be ne year frm nw.
Yu can g back t reality (现实) nw. If yu actually tried this, yu prbably gt in tuch with yur deeper self. Yu gt a feel fr what’s imprtant t yu and what gals (目标) yu’d like t achieve next year.
________ First, yu’re at imprtant crssrads in life, and the paths yu chse nw can influence yu frever. Secnd, if yu dn’t decide yur wn future, smene else will d it fr yu.
As Li Ping, a middle schl student in Shanghai, discvered beginning with the end in mind is a pwerful way t help turn yur dreams int realities:
When I feel stressed, I’ve fund it really helps me. I g smeplace where I can be alne, and try t see the whle picture f my dream life—and then I begin t think abut what I need t get there. This methd started when I was a ninth grader, and tday I’m making sme f thse pictures in mind becme a reality.

As peple all ver the wrld struggled with higher levels f stress, depressin and anxiety this past year, many turned t their favrite cmfrt fds: ice cream, pizza, hamburgers. But studies in recent years suggest that the high-sugar and high-fat fds when we are stressed r depressed, as cmfrting as they may seem, are the least likely t be gd fr ur mental (精神上的) health. Instead, whle fds such as vegetables, fruit, fish, eggs, nuts may be a better bet.
Histrically, nutritin research has paid much attentin t hw the fds we eat influence ur physical (身体上的) health, rather than ur mental health, thugh. Over the years, large ppulatin studies have fund that peple wh are asked t fllw a Mediterranean diet fr three mnths had greater reductins in symptms f depressin after three mnths cmpared t a cntrl grup. Public health prfessrs arund the wrld have started encuraging peple t take and use lifestyle behavirs like exercise, sund sleep, a heart-healthy diet and aviding smking that may reduce inflammatin (发炎) and have advantages fr the brain. Individual clinicians (临床医师) are already including nutritin int their wrk with patients. Dr. Drew Ramsey, a clinical prfessr at the Clumbia University, begins his meetings with new patients by explring their diet. He asks what they eat, learns their favrite fds, and finds ut if fds that he cnsiders imprtant fr the cnnectin are missing frm their diets, such as plants, seafd.
Dr. Ramsey said he didn’t want peple t think that the nly factr invlved in brain health is fd. “Lts f peple get their fd exactly right, live very active lives, and still have many trubles with their mental health,” he said. But he als teaches peple that fd can be empwering. “We can’t cntrl ur genes,” he said. “But we can cntrl hw we eat, and that gives peple actinable things that they can d t take care f their brain health n a daily basis.”
91．What d previus (以前的) nutritin studies mainly pay attentin t?
A．Hw ur diets influence ur mental health.B．Hw ur diets influence ur physical health.
C．Hw ur mental health influences ur diets.D．Hw ur physical health influences ur diets.
92．Why are individual clinicians including nutritin int their wrk with patients?
A．They try t satisfy their patients’ needs.
B．They are questining public health prfessrs.
C．They want t prve the value f healthy diets.
D．They have accepted the findings f large ppulatin studies.
93．Which f the fllwing might Dr. Ramsey agree with?
A．Sme cnnectin lives between ur diets and mental health.
B．Peple can cntrl their genes as well as hw they eat.

A research team frm China’s Nrthwest University is develping facial recgnitin (面部识别) technlgy t identify (识别) thusands f Sichuan glden mnkeys that live in Qinling Muntains in Shaanxi Prvince.
Similar t human facial recgnitin, the technlgy that is used t identify mnkeys uses their facial features t create a database (数据库) that includes every mnkey.
“When the system is fully develped, we can cnnect it with cameras set up in the muntains. The system will autmatically (自动地) recgnize the mnkeys, name them and analyze (分析) their behavir,” said Zhang He, a member f the research team.
“Fr each mnkey, we have 700 t 800 image samples, and the rate f successful recgnitin is 94 percent,” Zhang added.
Cmpared with facial recgnitin technlgy fr humans, facial recgnitin technlgy fr mnkeys is mre cmplicated because mnkeys have hairier faces. The clr f their hair causes them t get mixed up in their envirnment. These make it harder fr cmputers t d the jb.
“The wild envirnment is cmplicated, and glden mnkeys d nt cperate with the prcess in the same way humans d. It is difficult t take high-quality pictures and vides f them, which are needed t imprve the system,” said Li Bagu, leader f the research team.
Currently, there are abut 4,000 glden mnkeys living in Qinling Muntains. They are typical animals that live in the frest at an altitude f 1,500 meters t 3,300 meters all the year rund. The team’s gal is t successfully identify every mnkey that lives there.
98．Which f the fllwing is TRUE abut facial recgnitin technlgy fr mnkeys?
A．It is bught by China’s Nrthwest University.
B．It wrks better than human facial recgnitin.
C．It needs t be cnnected t cameras t wrk.
D．It nly requires analyzing 700 t 800 pictures f every mnkey.

Mre and mre custmers have becme wrried abut the envirnment, s many cmpanies have begun wrking t develp paper bttles. Paper bttles have many advantages. Perhaps the mst imprtant is that they can be easily recycled. Paper bttles als weigh less than glass r plastic nes and they’ll require less energy t prduce and t mve arund. Since paper is sft and easy t be shaped, cmpanies can design their bttles t take almst any shape they chse.
A cmpany called Pabc has been wrking with many large cmpanies t develp paper bttles. The cmpanies are creating their wn bttle designs, but they’re sharing what they learn t speed up the develpment f paper bttle technlgy.
Clearly, ne f the biggest challenges is keeping a paper bttle frm leaking (漏). Many cmpanies are lining (做内衬) their bttles with a thin sheet f plastic. Thugh bttle makers may say they can be remved, many recycling prgrams dn’t have the right machines t prduce them.
A cmpany named Diage has just annunced the first paper bttle that is cmpletely plastic - free. Instead f a plastic liner, a nn - plastic (无塑料) cating will be used n the inside f the bttles. This shuld make the bttle fully recyclable. But even withut the plastic, paper bttles aren’t perfect, which means mre trees need t be cut dwn t make the bttles.
There’re still lts f tests t be dne befre paper bttles can be used widely. But with s many cmpanies wrking twards the same gal, it’s likely that we can expect t see paper bttles n stre shelves in the near future.
103．What is the greatest advantage f paper bttles accrding t the passage?

A．By lining bttles with a thin sheet f plastic.
B．By using a nn-plastic cating inside the bttle.
C．By designing new recyclable plastic bttle.
D．By cutting dwn mre trees t make the bttles.
106．What des the last paragraph mainly tell abut?
A．Many cmpanies have prduced the paper bttles widely.

总结：用细节定位法来做细节理解题。
细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于中考所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。
事实和细节题的命题特点是：把某词语、某个句子或某具体事实用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表达，即同义改写。解答这类题的窍门是：A)注意掌握英语的多种表达法；B）正确分析词语在句中的作用；C）熟练运用英语的句型转换；D）读懂题干所提出的问题，并准确地找到文中涉及该问题的句子。
做细节题具体方法与步骤如下：
 略读材料,大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。
 按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词，如fr example，first，secnd…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。
 将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上，快速通篇跳读，眼睛自左至右，自上而下呈Z形扫视，直到找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。
