*Rare beef is ppular, but yu shuld knw that cking it t nly 140℉m
fd pisning rganisms may surviv
Bacteria are the ne f the main fd prisners. S, t get fd n the table safely, yu need t knw and fllw the rules fr fd care.
KEEP FOOD HOT
High fd temperatures (165℉t 212℉) reached in biling, baking, frying, and rasting kill mst fd pisning bacteria. If yu want t delay serving cked fd, thugh, yu have t keep it at a hlding temperature — rughly 140℉t 165℉. Steam tables and chafing dishes are designed t maintain hlding temperatures. But they dn’t always keep fd ht enugh. S it’s nt wise t leave ht fd ut mre than 2 hurs.
When cked fd is left ut unheated, the pssibility f bacterial grwth is greater, since the fd quickly drps t rm temperature where fd pisners multiply.
T serve ht fds safely — particularly meat and pultry, which are highly affected by fd pisning — fllw these rules:
Ck thrughly — Ck meat and pultry t the “dneness” temperatures given in the abve chart. T make sure that meat and pultry are cked all the way thrugh, use a meat thermmeter (温度计). Insert the tip int the thickest part f the meat, aviding fat r bne.● Dn’t interrupt cking — Ck meat and pultry cmpletely at ne time. Partial cking may encurage bacterial grwth befre cking is cmplete.
Cking frzen fd — Allw frzen fd mre time t ck — generally 1.5 times the perid required fr fd that has been thawed (解冻).
At what temperature d bacteria grw the fastest?
0℃～60℃.B．60℉～125℉.C．40℃～140℃.D．125℉～140℉.
What is suggested tn keep fd safe?
ht fd shuld nt be left ut ver tw hurs
frzen fd shuld be thawed with a micrwave ven
raw ham shuld be cked t the “dneness” temperature at 71℉
steam tables and chafing dishes shuld be used t keep fd ht enugh
What can be learned accrding t the guideline?
The nly way t ensure fd safety is t keep it ht enugh. B．High fd temperatures abve 74℃destry mst pisning bacteria.
Cmpared with gse, grund beef shuld be cked t higher temperatures.
Insert the tip f a thermmeter int the thickest part f the fat t cntrl the temperature.

Imagine a custmer-service center that speaks yur language, n matter what it is. Alrica, a cmpany in Irvine, Califrnia, which runs custmer-service centers arund the wrld, has intrduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translatin tl that lets its wrkers talk with custmers wh speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. S an Alrica wrker wh speaks, say, nly Spanish can deal with a cmplaint abut an incrrect bank statement frm a Cantnese speaker in Hng Kng. And it wuldn’t need t hire an emplyee wh speaks Cantnese.
Hwever, Alrica isn’t cutting jbs. It will increasingly hire thse wh are cmfrtable with new technlgy.
Ptentially, the threat: Perhaps cmpanies wn’t need as many emplyees — and will cut sme jbs — if chatbts can handle the wrklad instead. Cnsider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman wh caused an uprar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% f his custmer supprt staff with a chatbt named Lina. The mve at Shah’s cmpany, Dukaan, which helps custmers set up e-cmmerce sites, reduced the respnse time t an inquiry frm 1 minute, 44 secnds t “instant”. It als cut the typical time needed t slve prblems frm mre than tw hurs t just ver three minutes.
Similarly, researchers at Harvard Business Schl fund in a study last year that jb pstings fr writers, cders and artists decreased greatly within eight mnths f the arrival f ChatGPT.
But being expsed t AI desn’t necessarily mean lsing yur jb t it. The Swedish furniture retailer IKEA, fr example, intrduced a custmer-service chatbt in 2021 t handle simple inquiries. Instead f cutting jbs, IKEA retrained 8,500 custmer-service wrkers t handle such tasks as advising custmers n interir design and fielding cmplex custmer calls.
The experience at Alrica and IKEA suggests that AI may nt prve t be the jb killer that many peple fear. Instead, the technlgy might turn ut t be mre like breakthrughs f the past—the steam engine, electricity and the Internet, which get rid f sme jbs while creating thers and prbably make wrkers mre prductive in general t the eventual benefit f wrkers themselves, their emplyers and the ecnmy.
What des the authr want t tell us by the example in paragraph 1?
The pwer f AI.B．The threat frm humans. C．The custmer requirements.D．The tips n language learning.
What advantage des Lina have ver ther staff?
A．Winning the trust f custmers.B．Respnding t custmers faster. C．Selling mre prducts t custmers. D．Having a great relatinship with Shah.
What were IKEA’s custmer-service wrkers asked t d in 2021?
Take n ther duties.B．Leave their cmpany.
C．Mve t HngKng.D．Develp latest chatbts.
What is the best title fr the text?
Hw Will AI Change Our Lives?B．Hw Shuld We Use AI Effectively?
C．Will AI Take Away Many Human Jbs?D．What Is the Future f Traditinal Cmpanies?

Our md brightens as nature wakes up frm winter, with blming trees clring the scenery in sft, pretty clrs. Near my huse is Kairaku Park, ne f the biggest gardens in Japan, famus fr its vast cllectin f almst 10,000 plum trees. I find myself in the enviable psitin f having them all utside my backyard, taking advantage f the walking paths daily.
The trees and swans are like ld friends t me nw, a familiar sight with each visit. Hwever, n ne particular day, the rutine was brken by a charming nvelty. At the water’s edge f the small lake, I was greeted by the sight f newly hatched black swans. Their delicate beauty was heartwarming as they stayed clse t their mther. While capturing the glden f the sunset n camera, I was drawn away by an unusual, persistent sund. Turning arund, I discvered ne little swan was stuck by tw stnes, struggling t free itself. The mther swan’s effrts t liberate her were in vain.
Appraching with the intentin t help, I fund the mther’s prtective instincts in full frce. She was fiercely guarding her yung, preventing any apprach. I sught assistance frm an elderly gentleman sitting n a nearby bench, “Excuse me, the swan baby seems trapped and unable t mve. I wish t lend a hand, but the mther is quite territrial.
Wuld yu be s kind as t assist me?”
The man’s face brke int a warm smile befre he agreed t help me. With cnsiderable effrt, he managed t distract the mther, braving her aggressive behavir multiple times. Thanks t his curageus attempts, I was able t edge clser and successfully push the little swan ut f the gap. I held my breath, hping that it was nt injured, but relief washed ver me as I saw it swim away, alive.
In spring, my bdy seems t cme alive with renewed energy. It’s nature, nt material pssessins, that shapes us. I am psitive that each f us has a slice f nature nestled in ur wn neighbrhds. There, we are reminded f why natural life is s imprtant-it supprts us as we grw alngside it. Persnally, I take simple jy in the sight f baby birds, which brings a smile t my face! I strive fr a minimalist lifestyle, seeking fulfillment in the basic harmny f living in tune with Nature.
What is special abut the Kairakuen Park?
It has many trees and swansB．It is the largest park in Japan.
C．It is lcated very clse t the authr’s huse.D．It is famus fr its large number f plum trees.
Why culdn’t the authr get clse t the stuck swan at first?
Because the mther swan was angry and prtective.
Because the stuck swan was t far away frm the authr.
Because the authr was afraid f hurting the mther swan.
Because the ld man sitting n the bench stpped the authr.
Hw did the authr feel after rescuing the stuck swan?
A．Excited and prud.B．Relieved and hpeful.
C．Frustrated and helpless.D．Angry and disappinted.
It can be inferred frm the text that the authr .
is really a nature lverB．is shrt f sme life skill
C．asks peple t help the weakD．calls n mre peple t prtect the envirnment

Insects cause billins f dllars f damage t crps every year, driving farmers t apply pesticides n an industrial scale, at huge expense and ften with unwelcme eclgical side effects. They take this, carpet-bmbing apprach because they lack infrmatin abut where and when it is best t hit pests, and nbdy wants t use t little pesticide and thus risk lsing crps. Technlgists at FarmSense, a firm in Riverside, Califrnia, hpe t change that.
The established apprach t detecting insect pests, mths in particular, is t emply phermne-baited (以外外激素为诱饵的) sticky traps. Phermnes are chemicals which animals use t cmmunicate — and especially t attract members f the ppsite sex. An apprpriately baited sticky trap gives a fair idea f the number and type f pests arund, but nt with sufficient detail fr the accurate applicatin f pest cntrl measures. FarmSense’s researchers believe they can d better.
The cmpany’s device, FlightSensr, has been in full-scale tests n farms since 2020 and is abut t be made generally available. It des, nt trap insects. Rather, it detects them with a laser as they fly by. The develpers’ finding was that the shadws f passing wings prduce the same signal as the sund f the wing beats recrded by a micrphne.
Fr the first grup f targets the results are impressive. Navel rangewrm mths, in particular, are a cmmn pest f almnd and pistachi trees bth imprtant t Califrnian agriculture. FlightSensr can identify them accurately mre than 99% f the time. And the device is still imprving its capability, and adding new species as it gets mre data. Smetimes it can distinguish insects which, t a human eye, lk identical.
Farmsense’s apprach wrks, better than micrphnes fr recrding, wing beats because the insects under investigatin are quiet and the sund they send ut is thus easily lst in backgrund nise. They are easily detectable by laser, thugh. And while sticky traps are at least a slutin fr large mths, the FarmSense sensr picks up extremely small mths. Frm farm t lab, then, identifying insects with FlightSenst may sn be all the rage n farms.
What is the prblem with the carpet bmbing apprach?
It has very little effect.B．It takes t much time.
C．It’s weather dependent.D．It’s cstly and damaging.
Hw des FlightSensr wrk?
It uses light fr insect analysis.B．It detects chemicals frm insects. C．It wrks by recrding wing beats.D．It traps insects by giving ut sund.
What can we say abut navel rangewrm mths?
They are hardly under cntrl at present.B．They are a threat t Califrnian agriculture. C．They are clever enugh t avid FlightSensr.D．They are a new species discvered in Califrnia.
What des the underlined part “all the rage” in the last paragraph mean?
Well prtected.B．Quickly remved.
C．Widely adpted.D．Clsely checked.

In tday’s rapidly evlving wrld, the imprtance f critical thinking cannt be verstated. 36 It nt nly helps students analyze infrmatin and slve prblems but als prepares them fr the cmplexities f the future wrkplace. This essay will discuss the necessity f critical thinking in mdern educatin and its varius benefits.
Critical thinking fsters (促进) intellectual curisity and a lve fr learning. When students are encuraged t questin and analyze, they develp a deeper understanding f the subjects they study. 37 This leads t a mre engaged and mtivated learning experience.
Critical thinking skills are essential fr making infrmed decisins. In an age where infrmatin is readily
available but ften unreliable, the ability t evaluate surces and discern (辨别) facts frm fictin is crucial. Students must learn t evaluate infrmatin critically and make infrmed decisins based n that evaluatin. 38
When students are nt afraid t challenge cnventinal wisdm and think utside the bx, they cme up with nvel slutins t cmplex prblems. This ability t think critically and independently is what sets humans apart frm ther animals and machines. This fsters an envirnment f creativity and innvatin, which is vital fr prgress and develpment in any field.
In cnclusin, the inclusin f critical thinking in mdern educatin is nt just a nice additin but a necessity.
It prepares students fr the challenges f the future and equips them with the skills they need t succeed in an increasingly cmplex wrld.
Critical thinking prmtes creativity and innvatin.
Peple hld different views n almst everything because f this.
As a result, students will be better equipped t navigate the cmplexities f life. D．Withut these skills, students may fall prey t misinfrmatin and make pr chices. E．Therefre, integrating critical thinking int educatinal curricula is extremely imprtant.
F．This encurages them t explre new ideas and cncepts, expanding their knwledge base.
G．Critical thinking is the ability t analyze and reasn abut infrmatin in a lgical and bjective manner.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。细菌是主要的食物毒素之一，为了让食物安全上桌，我们需要知道并遵守食
物处置的一些规则。
细节理解题。根据文章第一幅图中“DANGER—Rapid grwth f bacteria: sme will prduce txin.(危险
——细菌快速生长：有些细菌会产生毒素)”所对应的温度为 60ºF~125ºF，所以在 60ºF~125ºF 之间细菌生长得最快。故选 B 项。
细节理解题。根据文章 KEEP FOOD HOT 下第一段的“S it’s nt wise t leave ht fd ut mre than 2
hurs. (所以把热的食物放在外面超过 2 小时是不明智的)”可知，为了保证食物安全，建议热的食物不要放在
外面超过两个小时。故选 A 项。
23．细节理解题。根据文章 KEEP FOOD HOT 下第一段的“High fd temperatures (165℉t 212℉) reached in biling, baking, frying, and rasting kill mst fd pisning bacteria. (高食物温度(165°F 到 212°F)达到沸腾，烘烤，煎炸和烘烤会杀死大多数食物中有毒细菌)”可知，摄氏度=(华氏度-32)÷1.8，即 73.8ºC 约等于 165.2°F，食物温度高于 74℃会破坏大多数有毒细菌。故选 B 项。
B
Imagine a custmer-service center that speaks yur language, n matter what it is. Alrica, a cmpany in Irvine, Califrnia, which runs custmer-service centers arund the wrld, has intrduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translatin tl that lets its wrkers talk with custmers wh speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. S an Alrica wrker wh speaks, say, nly Spanish can deal with a cmplaint abut an incrrect bank statement frm a Cantnese speaker in Hng Kng. And it wuldn’t need t hire an emplyee wh speaks Cantnese.
Hwever, Alrica isn’t cutting jbs. It will increasingly hire thse wh are cmfrtable with new technlgy. Ptentially, the threat: Perhaps cmpanies wn’t need as many emplyees — and will cut sme jbs — if chatbts can handle the wrklad instead. Cnsider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman wh caused an uprar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% f his custmer supprt staff with a chatbt named Lina. The mve at Shah’s cmpany, Dukaan, which helps custmers set up e-cmmerce sites, reduced the respnse time t an inquiry frm 1 minute, 44 secnds t “instant”. It als cut the typical time needed t slve prblems frm mre than tw
hurs t just ver three minutes.
Similarly, researchers at Harvard Business Schl fund in a study last year that jb pstings fr writers, cders and artists decreased greatly within eight mnths f the arrival f ChatGPT.
But being expsed t AI desn’t necessarily mean lsing yur jb t it. The Swedish furniture retailer IKEA, fr example, intrduced a custmer-service chatbt in 2021 t handle simple inquiries. Instead f cutting jbs, IKEA retrained 8,500 custmer-service wrkers t handle such tasks as advising custmers n interir design and fielding cmplex custmer calls.
The experience at Alrica and IKEA suggests that AI may nt prve t be the jb killer that many peple fear. Instead, the technlgy might turn ut t be mre like breakthrughs f the past—the steam engine, electricity and the Internet, which get rid f sme jbs while creating thers and prbably make wrkers mre prductive in general t the eventual benefit f wrkers themselves, their emplyers and the ecnmy.
What des the authr want t tell us by the example in paragraph 1?
The pwer f AI.B．The threat frm humans.
C．The custmer requirements.D．The tips n language learning.
What advantage des Lina have ver ther staff?
A．Winning the trust f custmers. B．Respnding t custmers faster. C．Selling mre prducts t custmers.D．Having a great relatinship with Shah.
What were IKEA’s custmer-service wrkers asked t d in 2021?
Take n ther duties.B．Leave their cmpany.
C．Mve t HngKng.D．Develp latest chatbts.
What is the best title fr the text?
Hw Will AI Change Our Lives?B．Hw Shuld We Use AI Effectively? C．Will AI Take Away Many Human Jbs? D．What Is the Future f Traditinal Cmpanies?
【答案】24．A25．B26．A27．C
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要通过实例介绍了人工智能可能不会抢走人类的很多工作。 24．推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Alrica, a cmpany in Irvine, Califrnia, which runs custmer-service centers arund the wrld, has intrduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translatin tl that lets its wrkers talk with custmers wh speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. (Alrica 是一家位于加利福尼亚州尔湾的公司，在世界各地设有客户服务中心，该公司推出了一种人工智能（AI）翻译工具，可以让员工与说 200 种不同语言和 75 种方言的客户交谈)”可知，这种人工智能翻译工具有强大的力量，可以让员工与说 200 种不同语言
和 75 种方言的客户交谈，并列举了下文与香港客户交谈的例子。由此推知，作者想通过第一段中的例子告
诉我们人工智能的力量。故选 A 项。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Cnsider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman wh caused an uprar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% f his custmer supprt staff with a chatbt named Lina. The mve at Shah’s cmpany, Dukaan, which helps custmers set up e-cmmerce sites, reduced the respnse time t an inquiry frm 1 minute, 44 secnds t “instant”. (以印度商人苏米特·沙阿为例，他去年表示，他已经用一个名为 Lina的聊天机器人取代了 90%的客户支持人员，这引起了轩然大波。沙阿的公司 Dukaan 帮助客户建立电子商务网站，此举将查询的响应时间从 1 分 44 秒缩短到“即时”)”可知，名为 Lina 的聊天机器人将查询的响应时间从 1 分 44 秒缩短到“即时”。由此可知，Lina 比其他员工有的优势是能够更快地回应客户。故选 B 项。 26．细节理解题。根据第五段关键句“Instead f cutting jbs, IKEA retrained 8,500 custmer-service wrkers t handle such tasks as advising custmers n interir design and fielding cmplex custmer calls. (宜家没有裁员，而是对 8500 名客户服务人员进行了再培训，以处理室内设计咨询和接听复杂客户电话等任务)”可知，宜家要
求原来的客户服务人员处理室内设计咨询和接听复杂客户电话等任务。由此可知，2021 年，宜家的客服人员被要求承担其他职责。故选 A 项。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段关键句“The experience at Alrica and IKEA suggests that AI may nt prve t be the jb killer that many peple fear. (Alrica 和宜家的经验表明，人工智能可能不会成为许多人担心的就业杀手)”可知，文章通过不同公司的例子告诉我们，人工智能不会成为人类的就业杀手。由此可知，
“Will AI Take Away Many Human Jbs?(人工智能会夺走许多人类工作吗？)”能够概括文章主题。故选 C 项。
C
Our md brightens as nature wakes up frm winter, with blming trees clring the scenery in sft, pretty clrs. Near my huse is Kairaku Park, ne f the biggest gardens in Japan, famus fr its vast cllectin f almst 10,000 plum trees. I find myself in the enviable psitin f having them all utside my backyard, taking advantage f the walking paths daily.
The trees and swans are like ld friends t me nw, a familiar sight with each visit. Hwever, n ne particular day, the rutine was brken by a charming nvelty. At the water’s edge f the small lake, I was greeted by the sight f newly hatched black swans. Their delicate beauty was heartwarming as they stayed clse t their mther. While capturing the glden f the sunset n camera, I was drawn away by an unusual, persistent sund. Turning arund, I discvered ne little swan was stuck by tw stnes, struggling t free itself. The mther swan’s effrts t liberate her were in vain.
Appraching with the intentin t help, I fund the mther’s prtective instincts in full frce. She was fiercely guarding her yung, preventing any apprach. I sught assistance frm an elderly gentleman sitting n a nearby bench, “Excuse me, the swan baby seems trapped and unable t mve. I wish t lend a hand, but the mther is quite territrial. Wuld yu be s kind as t assist me?”
The man’s face brke int a warm smile befre he agreed t help me. With cnsiderable effrt, he managed t distract the mther, braving her aggressive behavir multiple times. Thanks t his curageus attempts, I was able t edge clser and successfully push the little swan ut f the gap. I held my breath, hping that it was nt injured, but relief washed ver me as I saw it swim away, alive.
In spring, my bdy seems t cme alive with renewed energy. It’s nature, nt material pssessins, that shapes us. I am psitive that each f us has a slice f nature nestled in ur wn neighbrhds. There, we are reminded f why natural life is s imprtant-it supprts us as we grw alngside it. Persnally, I take simple jy in
the sight f baby birds, which brings a smile t my face! I strive fr a minimalist lifestyle, seeking fulfillment in the basic harmny f living in tune with Nature.
What is special abut the Kairakuen Park?
It has many trees and swansB．It is the largest park in Japan.
C．It is lcated very clse t the authr’s huse. D．It is famus fr its large number f plum trees.

Because the mther swan was angry and prtective.
Because the stuck swan was t far away frm the authr.
Because the authr was afraid f hurting the mther swan.
Because the ld man sitting n the bench stpped the authr.
Hw did the authr feel after rescuing the stuck swan?
A．Excited and prud.B．Relieved and hpeful.
C．Frustrated and helpless.D．Angry and disappinted.
It can be inferred frm the text that the authr .

C．asks peple t help the weakD．calls n mre peple t prtect the envirnment
【答案】28．D29．A30．B31．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在公园散步时解救被困黑天鹅宝宝的故事。 28．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Near my huse is Kairaku Park, ne f the biggest gardens in Japan, famus fr its vast cllectin f almst 10,000 plum trees. (我家附近是开乐公园，这是日本最大的花园之一，以拥有近一万棵梅树而闻名。)”可知，Kairaku Park 的特别之处在于它拥有大量的梅树。故选 D。
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Appraching with the intentin t help, I fund the mther’s prtective instincts in full frce. She was fiercely guarding her yung, preventing any apprach. (我带着帮助的意图走近，却发现母亲的保护本能在充分发挥作用。它凶狠地守护着幼崽，不让任何人靠近。)”可知，作者一开始无法接近被困的天鹅是因为母天鹅很生气并且具有保护性。故选 A。
细节理解题。由文章第四段中“I held my breath, hping that it was nt injured, but relief washed ver me as I saw it swim away, alive. (我屏住呼吸，希望它没有受伤，但当我看到它活着游走时，我如释重负。)”可知，作者在救出被困的天鹅后感到宽慰和充满希望。故选 B。

Insects cause billins f dllars f damage t crps every year, driving farmers t apply pesticides n an industrial scale, at huge expense and ften with unwelcme eclgical side effects. They take this, carpet-bmbing apprach because they lack infrmatin abut where and when it is best t hit pests, and nbdy wants t use t little pesticide and thus risk lsing crps. Technlgists at FarmSense, a firm in Riverside, Califrnia, hpe t change that.
The established apprach t detecting insect pests, mths in particular, is t emply phermne-baited (以外外激素为诱饵的) sticky traps. Phermnes are chemicals which animals use t cmmunicate — and especially t attract members f the ppsite sex. An apprpriately baited sticky trap gives a fair idea f the number and type f
pests arund, but nt with sufficient detail fr the accurate applicatin f pest cntrl measures. FarmSense’s researchers believe they can d better.
The cmpany’s device, FlightSensr, has been in full-scale tests n farms since 2020 and is abut t be made generally available. It des, nt trap insects. Rather, it detects them with a laser as they fly by. The develpers’ finding was that the shadws f passing wings prduce the same signal as the sund f the wing beats recrded by a micrphne.
Fr the first grup f targets the results are impressive. Navel rangewrm mths, in particular, are a cmmn pest f almnd and pistachi trees bth imprtant t Califrnian agriculture. FlightSensr can identify them accurately mre than 99% f the time. And the device is still imprving its capability, and adding new species as it gets mre data. Smetimes it can distinguish insects which, t a human eye, lk identical.
Farmsense’s apprach wrks, better than micrphnes fr recrding, wing beats because the insects under investigatin are quiet and the sund they send ut is thus easily lst in backgrund nise. They are easily detectable by laser, thugh. And while sticky traps are at least a slutin fr large mths, the FarmSense sensr picks up extremely small mths. Frm farm t lab, then, identifying insects with FlightSenst may sn be all the
rage n farms.
What is the prblem with the carpet bmbing apprach?
It has very little effect.B．It takes t much time.
C．It’s weather dependent.D．It’s cstly and damaging.
Hw des FlightSensr wrk?
It uses light fr insect analysis.
It detects chemicals frm insects.
It wrks by recrding wing beats.
It traps insects by giving ut sund.
What can we say abut navel rangewrm mths?
They are hardly under cntrl at present.
They are a threat t Califrnian agriculture.
They are clever enugh t avid FlightSensr.
They are a new species discvered in Califrnia.
What des the underlined part “all the rage” in the last paragraph mean?
Well prtected.B．Quickly remved.
C．Widely adpted.D．Clsely checked.
【答案】32．D33．A34．B35．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了昆虫每年给农作物造成数十亿美元的损失，迫使农民以工业规模使用杀虫剂，但杀虫剂会带来严重的副作用。FarmSense 公司的研究人员开发了一种设备，可以精确地控制杀虫剂的使用量，从而减少对环境的破坏。
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Insects cause billins f dllars f damage t crps every year, driving farmers t apply pesticides n an industrial scale, at huge expense and ften with unwelcme eclgical side effects.( 昆虫每年给农作物造成数十亿美元的损失，迫使农民以工业规模使用杀虫剂，代价巨大，而且往往带来不受欢迎的生态副作用。)”可知，地毯炸弹法成本高，破坏性高。故选 D 项。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The cmpany’s device, FlightSensr, has been in full-scale tests n farms since 2020 and is abut t be made generally available. It des, nt trap insects. Rather, it detects them with a laser as
they fly by.( 该公司的设备 FlightSensr 自 2020 年以来一直在农场进行全面测试，即将全面上市。它不会诱捕昆虫。相反，当它们飞过时，它会用激光探测它们。)”可知，FlightSensr 通过使用光来分析昆虫。故选 A 项。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Navel rangewrm mths, in particular, are a cmmn pest f almnd and pistachi trees bth imprtant t Califrnian agriculture.( 特别是脐橙毛虫蛾，是杏仁树和开心果树的常见害虫，
这两种树对加州的农业都很重要。)”可知，脐橙毛虫蛾对加州的农业构成威胁。故选 B 项。 35．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“And while sticky traps are at least a slutin fr large mths, the FarmSense sensr picks up extremely small mths.( 虽然粘捕器至少可以解决大型飞蛾的问题，但 FarmSense 传感器可以捕捉到非常小的飞蛾。)”以及划线短语句中“Frm farm t lab, then, identifying insects with FlightSenst may sn be all the rage n farms.(因此，从农场到实验室，用 FlightSenst 识别昆虫可能很快在农场 all the rage)”可知，此处为很快就会在农场流行起来。由此可知，和 C 选项 Widely adpted“广泛采用”意思相近。故选 C
项。

In tday’s rapidly evlving wrld, the imprtance f critical thinking cannt be verstated. 36 It nt nly helps students analyze infrmatin and slve prblems but als prepares them fr the cmplexities f the future wrkplace. This essay will discuss the necessity f critical thinking in mdern educatin and its varius benefits.
Critical thinking fsters (促进) intellectual curisity and a lve fr learning. When students are encuraged t questin and analyze, they develp a deeper understanding f the subjects they study. 37 This leads t a mre engaged and mtivated learning experience.
Critical thinking skills are essential fr making infrmed decisins. In an age where infrmatin is readily available but ften unreliable, the ability t evaluate surces and discern (辨别) facts frm fictin is crucial. Students must learn t evaluate infrmatin critically and make infrmed decisins based n that evaluatin. 38
39 When students are nt afraid t challenge cnventinal wisdm and think utside the bx, they cme up with nvel slutins t cmplex prblems.
