A drpped bag f chips disturbed a cave ecsystem in Carlsbad Caverns Natinal Park, New Mexic. This cave is almst cut ff frm the utside wrld, s intrducing anything freign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny rganisms, causing unwanted grwth. Sn, small animals like crickets and spiders came t eat, spreading the pllutin. Rangers fund the bag within hurs. “But that can be all it takes,” says Ashley. “I’m sure sme crickets gt a bit f the snack.”
Over 500 millin peple visit American public lands each year, creating many chances t harm wild places. “When yu lk at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head f the Leave N Trace Center in Clrad, an rganizatin aimed at minimizing human impact n nature.
Fd waste takes a lng time t break dwn, especially in certain areas. “It takes much lnger fr an apple cre t rt in a desert than in a frest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University f Utah. Leaving waste intrduces animals t an unnatural diet and changes their behavir with smetimes disastrus results. Bears wh taste garbage and becme a threat t humans may have t be put dwn. “Bears can get used t unnatural fd in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyne lses in this case.”
Bilgical waste is als prblematic. Dg waste brings new bacteria int the ecsystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and tilet paper intrduces dangerus bacteria int water surces.
In natinal parks, trails (小路) are designed t avid sensitive areas. Stepping ff the trail, even fr a quick pht, can scare wildlife away. Impacts frm many visitrs result in lng-term damage t nature and wildlife. But peple dn’t think f that when they see the perfect pht pprtunity. “It’s just such a hard thing t resist,” says Blye. The risk t sensitive ecsystems isn’t bvius. “It’s easy t think, h, there’s wildflwers ver there. I shuldn’t step n that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecsystems full f micrscpic rganisms essential t desert life prvide many benefits, including reducing the risk f ersin (侵蚀) and helping absrb rainfall, and can take hundreds f years t return t its riginal state.
4. What des Ashley mean by “But that can be all it takes.”?
A. The rangers’ wrk is efficient.B. The damage has been dne.
C. The cleanup takes a lng time.D. The pllutin has spread widely.
5. What is a result f freign waste in public lands?
A. A shift in animal behavir.B. A shrtage f fd supplies.
C. A decline in bacterial species.D. An increase in reginal cnflicts.
6. Why des the writer mentin wildflwers in paragraph 5?
A. T praise their benefits t desert life.
B. T highlight ur damage t ecsystems.
C. T stress their significance fr phtgraphy.
D. T shw ur unawareness f nature’s sensitivity.
7. It is cnveyed in this passage that we shuld .
A. encurage wildlife prtectinB. leave n trace in the wild
C. prmte natinal park turismD. restre eclgical damage
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类活动，特别是游客在自然保护区的不当行为，对自然环境造成的负面影响。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章划线句子上文“A drpped bag f chips disturbed a cave ecsystem in Carlsbad Caverns Natinal Park, New Mexic. This cave is almst cut ff frm the utside wrld, s intrducing anything freign can be harmful.(在新墨西哥州的卡尔斯巴德洞穴国家公园，一袋掉落的薯片扰乱了洞穴的生态系统。这个洞穴几乎与外界隔绝，所以引入任何外来的东西都可能有害。)”以及“Sn, small animals like crickets and spiders came t eat, spreading the pllutin.(很快，像蟋蟀和蜘蛛这样的小动物就跑来觅食，从而扩散了污染。)”可知，一袋薯片掉落在洞穴里，虽然护林员在几小时内就发现了薯片，但是在此之前薯片已经吸引了微小生物，导致了不必要的生物生长，蟋蟀和蜘蛛等小动物也跑来觅食并扩散了污染。所以 Ashley说“But that can be all it takes.”意思是损害已经造成了。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Leaving waste intrduces animals t an unnatural diet and changes their behavir with smetimes disastrus results. Bears wh taste garbage and becme a threat t humans may have t be put dwn. “Bears can get used t unnatural fd in three weeks,” “says Watts. “Everyne lses in this case.”(留下垃圾会让动物接触到非自然的食物，并改变它们的行为，有时甚至会带来灾难性的后果。尝到过垃圾味道并对人类构成威胁的熊可能不得不被安乐死。“熊能在三周内习惯非自然的食物，”Watts.说，“在这种情况下，大家都输了。”)”可知，在公共土地上留下的外来垃圾会让动物接触到非自然的食物，进而改变它们的行为，有时还会带来灾难性的后果，比如尝到垃圾味道的熊会对人类构成威胁。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““It’s just such a hard thing t resist, “says Blye. The risk t sensitive ecsystems isn’t bvius. “It’s easy t think, h, there’s wildflwers ver there. I shuldn’t step n that, “says Blye, but these tiny ecsystems full f micrscpic rganisms essential t desert life prvide many benefits, including reducing the risk f ersin(侵蚀)and helping absrb rainfall, and can take hundreds f years t return t its riginal state.(“这真的很难抗拒，”Blye说。对敏感生态系统造成的风险并不明显。“很容易想到，哦，那边有野花。我不应该踩到它们，”Blye说，但这些充满了对沙漠生命至关重要的微生物的微小生态系统有很多益处，包括降低侵蚀风险和帮助吸收降雨，而且可能需要数百年才能恢复到原来的状态。)”可知，Blye说人们看到拍照机会很难抗拒，对敏感生态系统的风险并不明显。人们很容易想到那边有野花不应该踩到，但这些对沙漠生命至关重要的微小生态系统有很多益处，而且需要数百年才能恢复到原来的状态。所以作者在第五段提到野花是为了表明我们对大自然敏感性的无意识。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇以一袋薯片扰乱洞穴生态系统为例，接着讲述了食物垃圾、生物垃圾等人类在公共土地上留下的废弃物对生态系统的危害，如改变动物行为、引入有害细菌等，还提到游客踏出小径拍照等行为对自然和野生动物造成长期损害，强调了人类活动对自然环境的不良影响。所以文章传达的是我们应该在野外不留下痕迹。故选B。
C
In the risky wrld f nuclear arms cntrl, Princetn student Lepwsky is explring hw rbts can make inspectins mre accurate and acceptable t hst natins wrried abut invasive (侵入的) traditinal methds. His latest research has led t a rbt perfrming inspectins withut saving sensitive infrmatin.
“The hst natin likely wn’t want a human inspectr pking their nse arund,” said Lepwsky. “But even a rbt has memry and sensrs acquiring data.” The gal is t have high-cnfidence inspectins withut the rbt saving infrmatin. Fr example, the rbt wuld nt save radiatin measurements r create flr plans f sensitive areas.
The new prttype (样机) is built n an iRbt Create 3 platfrm, an educatinal rbt. Rbts ffer advantages ver human inspectrs: they can tlerate higher radiatin levels, are mre cnsistent, and can be cheaper. They als can be prgrammed t generate trust, such as nt using cameras t avid seeing unwanted details. The idea fr the rbt started with Lepwsky’s adviser, Glaser, wh was curius abut creating a “frgetful rbt” that culd perfrm highly accurate nuclear arms inspectins but frget everything afterward. This led t an even mre interesting idea: “Rather than frgetting, we’re nt even remembering in the first place,” Lepwsky said. He believes this feature can reassure hsts cncerned abut privacy.
Lepwsky likes the interdisciplinary nature f his wrk — drawing n bth his rbtics and plicy expertise — and he likes that it requires a breadth f knwledge, nt just depth. He values that his research is grunded in real-life applicatins fr glbal security and nuclear nnprliferatin (防扩散).
Predicting when the rbt might be used in the field is difficult. “It’s easy t say, tday, it’s nt very realistic, but yu have t be ready fr if and when it becmes pssible,” said Lepwsky. Research int this prblem is very active. Because arms cntrl is changing, the specific bjectives f future agreements are hard t predict. “But we can hpe they will be psitive, and we need t be ready, technically. “
8. In which aspect is Lepwsky’s rbt different frm human inspectrs?
A. Data security.
B. Memry capacity.
C. Scial acceptance.
D. User friendliness.
9. What is said abut the rbt in paragraph 3?
A. Its accurate system.B. Its privacy risks.
C. Its design mechanism.D. Its peratinal prblems.
10. What des Lepwsky like abut his wrk?
A. Scientific research data.B. Real-time technical cperatin.
C. In-depth theretical studies.D. Integrated knwledge acrss fields.
11. Which wuld be the best title fr this passage?
A. Princetn’s “Frgetful” Rbts in Glbal Security
B. N-Memry Rbts: The Future f Nuclear Checks?
C. Nuclear Arms Cntrl: Rbts r Human Inspectrs?
D. Lepwsky’s “Curius” Rbts fr Radiatin Detectin
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了普林斯顿大学的学生Lepwsky在核军备控制领域的研究，特别是他关于如何利用机器人进行更准确且为主办国所接受的核查工作的探索。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段““The hst natin likely wn’t want a human inspectr pking their nse arund,” said Lepwsky. “But even a rbt has memry and sensrs acquiring data.” The gal is t have high-cnfidence inspectins withut the rbt saving infrmatin. Fr example, the rbt wuld nt save radiatin measurements r create flr plans f sensitive areas.( Lepwsky说：“东道国很可能不希望人类核查员到处窥探。但即便是机器人也有会采集数据的内存和传感器。” 其目标是在机器人不保存信息的情况下进行高可信度的核查。例如，机器人不会保存辐射测量数据，也不会绘制敏感区域的平面图。)”可知，东道国不希望人类核查员到处窥探，而Lepwsky的机器人的目标是在不保存信息，如不保存辐射测量数据、不绘制敏感区域平面图的情况下进行核查。所以Lepwsky的机器人与人类核查员在数据安全方面不同。故选A。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。在文章第三段中，首先提到“The new prttype (样机) is built n an iRbt Create 3 platfrm, an educatinal rbt.(这款新的样机是基于教育机器人iRbt Create 3平台制造的。)”说明了机器人的样机是基于一个教育机器人平台搭建的。接着阐述“Rbts ffer advantages ver human inspectrs: they can tlerate higher radiatin levels, are mre cnsistent, and can be cheaper. They als can be prgrammed t generate trust, such as nt using cameras t avid seeing unwanted details.(与人类核查员相比，机器人具有一些优势：它们能够承受更高的辐射水平，工作更加稳定一致，而且成本可能更低。它们还可以通过编程来赢得信任，比如不使用摄像头以避免拍摄到不必要的细节。)”介绍了机器人相较于人类核查员的优势，以及为了赢得信任所采用的编程方式，比如不使用摄像头。还提到“The idea fr the rbt started with Lepwsky’s adviser, Glaser, wh was curius abut creating a “frgetful rbt” that culd perfrm highly accurate nuclear arms inspectins but frget everything afterward. This led t an even mre interesting idea: “Rather than frgetting, we’re nt even remembering in the first place,” Lepwsky said. He believes this feature can reassure hsts cncerned abut privacy.(关于这款机器人的想法最初来自Lepwsky的导师Glaser，他对制造一个能够进行高度精确的核武器核查、但事后会忘掉一切的“健忘机器人”很感兴趣。这引出了一个更有意思的想法：“我们不是让它事后忘掉，而是从一开始就不记录任何信息。” Lepwsky说。他认为这一特点可以让那些担心隐私问题的东道国放心。)” 讲述了机器人设计理念的起源以及最终确定的“从一开始就不记录信息”这一特色，这些都围绕着机器人的设计机制展开。所以关于第三段中提到的机器人，主要说的是它的设计机制。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Lepwsky likes the interdisciplinary nature f his wrk — drawing n bth his rbtics and plicy expertise — and he likes that it requires a breadth f knwledge, nt just depth. He values that his research is grunded in real-life applicatins fr glbal security and nuclear nnprliferatin(防扩散).( Lepwsky喜欢自己工作的跨学科性质——既利用了他在机器人技术方面的专业知识，也运用了他在政策方面的专长——而且他喜欢这份工作需要广泛的知识，而不仅仅是深度的专业知识。他很看重自己的研究是基于全球安全和核不扩散的现实应用。)”可知，Lepwsky喜欢他工作的跨学科性质，即他的工作需要同时运用到机器人技术和政策方面的专业知识，并且他喜欢这份工作需要广泛的知识，而不仅仅是深度的专业知识。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要围绕莱波夫斯基研发的不会保存敏感信息（即没有记忆）的机器人展开，介绍了该机器人在核武器核查领域的研发背景、优势、设计机制等。文中提到这种机器人能够在不保存信息的情况下进行高可信度的核查，解决了东道国对隐私的担忧，并且探讨了虽然目前难以预测其在实际领域的应用时间，但针对该问题的研究很活跃，未来可能在核核查中发挥作用。选项B “N-Memry Rbts: The Future f Nuclear Checks?(无记忆机器人：核核查的未来？)”既突出了机器人“无记忆”的特点，又点明了其与核核查的关系，并且以疑问的形式引发读者思考，符合文章主旨。故选B。

【16题详解】
根据上文“The less yu spend, the mre yu save. It sunds simple in thery, but in practice, it’s much mre cmplicated. Spending is built int ur daily habits, which smetimes can get us addicted t buying stuff.(你花的越少，存的就越多。理论上听起来很简单，但实际上要复杂得多。花钱是我们的日常习惯，有时会让我们沉迷于购买东西)”以及下文“It’s kind f like a crash diet, but in a gd way! (这有点像速成减肥法，不过是以一种好的方式！)”可知，上文提到了存钱实际上复杂得多，因为花钱是习惯，推测本句主要说明了省钱的另一种方式，故F选项“有时候最好的办法是冻结开支”符合语境，故选F。
【17题详解】
根据本段内容“Despite the name, a n-spend challenge desn’t mean yu sit n yur hands and spend n mney whatsever. After all, yu dn’t want t fall behind n yur bills, and there are sme necessities yu simply can’t d withut. The basic premise (前提) f a n-spend challenge is t cut ut nn-essential spending fr a certain amunt f time. It culd be fr a week, a mnth r even an entire year.(尽管名字叫“不花钱挑战”，但这并不意味着你坐在那里不花钱。毕竟，你不想在账单上落后，而且有些必需品是你不能没有的。不花钱挑战的基本前提是在一定时间内减少不必要的支出。可能是一个星期，一个月，甚至一整年)”可知，本段主要解释了什么是“不花钱挑战”，即“不花钱挑战”的定义。故B选项“什么是不花钱的挑战？”符合语境，故选B。
【18题详解】
根据上文“If yu need t purchase smething during yur n-spend challenge, it shuld be smething that’s necessary and yu abslutely can’t d withut. S grceries, yes. Candy bar in the checkut line, n. Als, n new iPhne, even if yu’ve been dreaming abut an upgrade. N new shes, even if they’re n a huge sale. This is nt the time t make excuses t buy stuff yu dn’t really need.(如果你在“零消费挑战”中需要购买某些东西，那就必须是你必须购买的东西。所以食品杂货，是的。在收银台排队时候买糖果，不行。而且，没有新iPhne，即使你一直梦想着升级。不买新鞋，即使它们在大减价。这不是找借口买你不需要的东西的时候)”以及下文“The gal f this challenge isn’t t make life harder n yurself by cutting ut spending n essential expenses.(这个挑战的目标不是通过削减基本开支来让自己的生活变得更艰难)”可知，上文主要说明了基本的开支是可以接受的，但是额外的开支不可以，故A选项“决定可接受的采购”符合语境，故选A。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Yu can use the extra mney yu nrmally wuld have spent t build up yur emergency fund.(你可以用平时会花的额外的钱来建立应急基金)”可知，下文提到了节约下来的钱可以建立应急基金，推测不花钱挑战带来的经济状况的改善。故G选项“不花钱的挑战可以促进你的财务状况。”符合语境，故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“While n-spend challenges are designed t be temprary, yu can always extend yur challenge.( 虽然不花钱的挑战是暂时的，但你可以扩展挑战)”可知，上文说明了不花钱挑战的好处，本句为本段最后一句，推测是建议采取这种生活方式，来进行省钱。故E选项“为什么不把它看作是生活方式的改变呢？”符合语境，故选E。

Shuld Cmmunity Service be a Requirement fr Graduatin?
As a high schl student, I firmly believe that cmmunity service shuld be included as a graduatin requirement.

By vlunteering, students develp empathy and scial respnsibility, which are crucial fr persnal develpment. Additinally, they gain invaluable skills like teamwrk and prblem-slving.

When I had t carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked ut, it dawned n me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thught f Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man fr the jb. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked fr a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly ding the math in my head, I figured ut even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enugh cash fr the game. S I gave in t Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and nw we had the best pumpkin ever.
Then the unexpected happened: We came in secnd. Unfrtunately, secnd prize was nly $50, and I needed every penny f that t buy the game. The day f the awards ceremny, the principal handed ver the mney t me because Brian was hme, sick with cld.
If he really wanted t win, he wuld have been here tday, I thught t myself, justifying stealing the cash frm under pr Brian’s runny nse. With hardly a thught, I ran t the stre and bught my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had wn, I denied, afraid t lk int his eyes.
