Wild fig trees may prvide an inexpensive, effective way t mnitr mercury (汞) pllutin near small-scale gld mining sites thrughut the Glbal Suth, a recent study suggests.
Published in Frntiers in Envirnmental Science, the analysis lked at whether fig trees can be used as a bimnitring tl near small-scale gld mines. The mines, lcated largely in Suth America, Sutheast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, use liquid mercury t separate re (矿石) and gld, unleashing high levels f mercury pllutin. The plluted air generated by burning mercury-gld amalgams (合金) t get gld can endanger health in humans and animals. But the industry — largely unregulated — lacks reliable mnitring data, the researchers write.
The researchers intrduced a fast-grwing fig tree that thrives thrughut the trpics. The trees grw annual rings, which is uncmmn amng trpical trees. The researchers analyzed tree cres frm five study sites in Peru’s Madre de Dis regin t determine whether fig trees culd serve as natural indicatrs f mercury pllutin levels in the area. Three f the sites were near small mines, and tw were lcated far away.
Mercury levels in the trees’ rings were “strngly crrelated” with atmspheric mercury levels, the researchers fund, and trees nearest the mines had higher cncentratins (浓度) f mercury in their rings. Passive air sampling cnfirmed the mercury measurements.
The study examined tree rings frm 1941 t 1999 and 2000 t 2019. At tw sites near mdern mining twns where mercury-gld amalgams were burned, the team fund lwer mercury cncentratins in tree rings during the earlier perid, when mining in the area wasn’t well established, and higher levels after gld mining expanded.
Trees prvide “a much mre widely spread and cheaper netwrk f bimnitring” ver decades than typical mnitring f small-scale mines, which fcuses n shrt perids, the researchers write.
“This really ffers a methd that can be emplyed thrughut the Glbal Suth t understand changes in mercury ver time, as well as space indicatrs f mercury.” Jacqueline Gersn, a study authr and assistant prfessr f bilgical and envirnmental engineering in Crnell University’s Cllege f Agriculture and Life Sciences, said in a news annuncement.
8. What des the underlined wrd “unleashing” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Releasing.B. Detecting.C. Absrbing.D. Reducing.
9. Why are fig trees frm different sites analyzed?
A. T figure ut the effect f mercury pllutin.
B. T test if they can mnitr mercury pllutin.
C. T study the exact cause f mercury pllutin.
D. T see hw they help reduce mercury pllutin.
10. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Tree rings shw lwer mercury levels after mining expanded.
B. Typical mine mnitring cvers brader areas than tree rings.
C. Mercury-gld amalgams were burned nly frm 2000 t 2019.
D. Tree rings ffer a lng-term and cheap way t mnitr mercury.
11. What is Jacqueline Gersn’s attitude twards using fig trees t mnitr mercury pllutin?
A. Cncerned.B. Apprving.C. Objective.D. Uninterested.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究表明无花果树可作为监测汞污染的廉价有效工具。
【8题详解】词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线词前“The mines, lcated largely in Suth America, Sutheast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, use liquid mercury t separate re and gld, (这些矿场主要位于南美洲、东南亚和撒哈拉以南非洲，使用液态汞分离矿石和黄金)”及划线词后“high levels f mercury pllutin.The plluted air generated by burning mercury-gld amalgams (合金) t get gld can endanger health in humans and animals.(高水平的汞污染。通过燃烧汞金合金提取黄金时产生的受污染空气，会危害人类和动物的健康)”可知，液态汞被用来分离矿石和黄金，从而释放出高水平的汞污染，故划线词unleashing与A选项Releasing“释放”意义相近。故选A。
【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“The researchers analyzed tree cres frm five study sites in Peru’s Madre de Dis regin t determine whether fig trees culd serve as natural indicatrs f mercury pllutin levels in the area.(研究人员分析了秘鲁马德雷德迪奥斯地区五个研究地点的树芯，以确定无花果树是否可以作为该地区汞污染水平的自然指标)”可知，研究人员分析来自不同地点的无花果树是为了测试它们是否可以监测汞污染。故选B。
【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第六段中“Trees prvide “a much mre widely spread and cheaper netwrk f bimnitring” ver decades than typical mnitring f small-scale mines, which fcuses n shrt perids, the researchers write.(研究人员写道，与典型的小型矿山监测相比，树木在几十年间提供了一个“分布更广、更便宜的生物监测网络”，而典型的小型矿山监测则侧重于短期)”可知，树轮提供了一种长期且廉价的监测汞污染的方法。故选D。
【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This really ffers a methd that can be emplyed thrughut the Glbal Suth t understand changes in mercury ver time, as well as space indicatrs f mercury.(这确实提供了一种可以在全球南方各地采用的方法，以了解汞随时间的变化，以及汞的空间指标)”可知，Jacqueline Gersn认为这种方法可以在全球南方各地采用，以了解汞随时间的变化以及汞的空间指标。由此可推知，Jacqueline Gersn对使用无花果树监测汞污染持支持态度。故选B。

Over breakfast this mrning, after I enjyed a shrt chat with Mia, my new Spanish study buddy (伙伴), I felt that I had mastered mre than what I gained frm textbk exercises. Mia, hwever, is an AI that I created t take advantage f a phenmenn called the “prtege effect.” Accrding t several studies, we learn mre effectively when we teach smene else abut the tpic we’ve just explred — even if that persn desn’t really exist.
Learning thrugh teaching was relatively slw t gain ppularity until a grup f scientists in the United States began t test its effectiveness. In ne f the first experiments, Catherine Chase and clleagues tested n 62 eighth-graders wh were tasked with using a cmputer prgram t study the bilgical (生物学的) changes that ccur when we get a fever.
Over tw lessns, they had t read a text and then create a mind-map explaining the different prcesses and the relatinships between them. Fr half the teens, the mind-map presented the result f self-study. The thers were tld that their mind-map wuld help t teach a virtual character.
It was nt a big difference, but the students in the rle f teacher scred significantly better. This increased participatin had a big influence: bth the amunt they gt and the depth f their understanding. At the end f the tw classes, participants wh had played the rle f teacher had kept much mre f the material, with much strnger perfrmance n test questins.
Chase’s team named this the “prtege effect” and it has since been studied many times. These later studies suggest that learning by teaching is mre pwerful than ther mnemnic (助记符号) techniques like self-testing. If we knw that thers are ging t learn frm us, we feel a sense f respnsibility t prvide the right infrmatin, s we make a greater effrt t fill in the gaps in ur understanding and crrect any mistaken thughts. Sharing ur knwledge then helps t strengthen what we have learned. Why nt try t apply the prtege effect int practice?
12. Why des the authr mentin Mia in paragraph 1?
A. T stress the imprtance f AI.
B. T share a stry f a study buddy.
C. T intrduce a phenmenn abut study.
D. T shw hw t finish textbk exercises.
13. What was different abut the tw grups in the experiment?
A. They differ in learning time.B. They differ in learning tls.
C. They differ in learning materials.D. They differ in learning strategies.
14. Why des the “prtege effect” help learning?
A. Because AI teachers explain things clearly.
B. Because mind-maps make memrizing easier.
C. Because teaching inspires deeper understanding.
D. Because testing yurself is the best way t learn.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the passage?
A. Learning by Teaching HelpsB. Textbk Exercises Benefit Mre
C. Mind-mapping Imprves MemryD. AI Prmtes Language Learning
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种名为“门徒效应”的学习现象，即通过教学他人来提升自身学习效果，用科学实验论证了其合理性，表明教学行为能激发更深的理解。
【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中“Over breakfast this mrning, after I enjyed a shrt chat with Mia, my new Spanish study buddy (伙伴), I felt that I had mastered mre than what I gained frm textbk exercises. Mia, hwever, is an AI that I created t take advantage f a phenmenn called the “prtege effect.” (今天早晨吃早餐时，我和新结识的西班牙语学习伙伴Mia简短交谈后，感觉自己掌握的知识已经超越了课本练习所得。不过，Mia其实是我为了利用“门徒效应”这个现象而创造的人工智能)”可知，作者先提到自己虚构的人工智能学习伙伴Mia，后面自然过渡到对“门徒效应”的讨论。由此可知，作者提到Mia是为了引出关于学习的一个现象。故选C项。
【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Fr half the teens, the mind-map presented the result f self-study. The thers were tld that their mind-map wuld help t teach a virtual character. (半数学生的思维导图作为自主学习成果呈现，而其余学生则被告知其制作的思维导图将用于指导虚拟角色学习)”可知，两组的差异在于学习策略不同。故选D项。
【14题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If we knw that thers are ging t learn frm us, we feel a sense f respnsibility t prvide the right infrmatin, s we make a greater effrt t fill in the gaps in ur understanding and crrect any mistaken thughts. (当我们意识到他人将受教于己时，会产生确保信息准确的责任感，从而更主动地填补认知空白并修正错误观点)”可知，“门徒效应”有助于学习。是因为教学行为激发了更深层次的理解。故选C项。
【15题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Accrding t several studies, we learn mre effectively when we teach smene else abut the tpic we’ve just explred — even if that persn desn’t really exist. (多项研究表明，当我们向他人讲解刚学过的知识时——即便对方并非真实存在——学习效果会显著提升)”可知，文章围绕“通过教学促进学习”，即“门徒效应”展开，用科学实验论证了其合理性，表明教学行为能激发更深的理解。因此，A项“以教促学”概括了这一现象，最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章通过邻居除蒲公英与作者对蒲公英的喜爱，展现其艺术、食用价值，呼吁欣赏自然之美。
【16题详解】由上文“Every year, the spring rains cause weeds t appear everywhere, especially in the lawn.(每年春雨都会导致杂草丛生，尤其是草坪上。)”可知，此处需衔接邻居处理杂草的具体行为。D项He then starts t mix up all his different pisns in his garage.(然后他开始在车库里混合各种不同的除草剂。)中then承接春雨导致杂草生长的前提，“mix up all his different pisns”对应后文“ne weed fr...”的分类除草剂，具体描述邻居对杂草的“极端处理”，与“hates t see even ne weed”的性格形成呼应。故选D项。
【17题详解】由上文“Knwing he meant well, I thanked him.(我知道他好意，便谢了他。)”及下文“I happen t like dandelins.(我偏偏喜欢蒲公英。)”可知，此处需转折表达内心真实感受。A项Hwever, deep inside, I felt saddened.(然而，内心深处我感到难过。) 中Hwever表转折，“saddened”与“thanked him”形成表面感谢与内心矛盾的对比，“deep inside”引出后文对蒲公英的喜爱，衔接“外在回应→内在情感”的逻辑。故选A项。
【18题详解】由下文“They certainly d grw where nthing else des, like alng the side f my huse. The flwers are a pretty bright yellw. They frm their wn picture f glden clr arund my washing line, smething like a crazy artwrk.(它们确实在其他地方生长，比如我家旁边。这些花是很亮的黄色。他们在我的晾衣绳周围形成了自己的金色图案，就像一件疯狂的艺术品。)”可知，此处需总述蒲公英的特点。C项Dandelins can be used fr many different purpses.(蒲公英有许多不同用途。)符合语境。故选C项。
【19题详解】由上文“The flwers als add fine flavr and clr when drpped in ice water.(花朵放入冰水中也能增添风味和色泽。)”及下文“They als add vitamins.(它们还富含维生素。)”可知，此处需具体说明蒲公英在饮食中的应用。E项D yu knw that the leaves can be used in a salad t make it tastier?(你知道叶子能用于沙拉使其更美味吗？)中“leaves can be used in a salad”呼应“flwers add flavr”，通过“叶子 — 花朵”的不同部位举例，延续“食用价值”的论述，tastier与flavr形成语义衔接，且设问句式增强互动性。故选E项。
【20题详解】由上文“S in the dandelin are bth art and petry.(因此蒲公英兼具艺术与诗意。)”可知，此处需升华主题，呼应自然之美。G项Let nature’s art and beauty never stp t fill yu with jy and amazement.(让自然的艺术与美丽永远带给你喜悦与惊叹。)中“nature’s art and beauty”指代蒲公英的“art and petry”，“fill yu with jy”呼吁珍视自然之美，与前文“wrks f art by nature’s hand”形成首尾呼应，将蒲公英的个体特质升华为对自然的欣赏。故选G项。
