When Mary was five mnths ld，she was diagnsed （诊断） with hydrcephalus （脑积水）— a cnditin that resulted in brain surgery five times.Then，at just five years ld，Mary was further diagnsed with MPPH syndrme-a develpmental brain disrder.She experienced great pain and was in and ut f hspital every six weeks，with her family frequently ging back and frth between their hme and the hspital.

"Shhh!" This is the demand that Sueur，an ec-acustics （生态声学） researcher，makes n humanity.The racket f technlgy — cming frm ships，planes，machinery，and mre — reaches even the remtest crners f the planet.Sueur explres the impact f the ever-present unpleasant sund n the animal wrld in Natural Histry f Silence.He ffers rich descriptins f the snic lives f several species，like the crackling and ppping sunds prduced in cral reefs （珊瑚礁）.Sueur argues that when human-made nise drwns ut nature's symphny，ecsystems becme disrupted.Fr instance，experiments arund Mrea Island，French Plynesia，shw that mtrbat nise upsets free-swimming yung crals，which rely n reef sunds t find a suitable place t settle.In quieter，prtected areas，the attractin f crals t reefs is much higher.
Anyne new t the science f sund will be able t learn its fundatins in this bk.Sueur explains hw animals create，use，and perceive sund and hw researchers have used this knwledge t understand wildlife behavir.Between travelgue-style chapters and wandering philsphical reflectins，there is an intrductin t key terms and theries，which states that each species has a unique acustic space t enhance cmmunicatin with its peers and limit sund cmpetitin frm ther species.The bk als includes an evlutinary histry f hw animals develped the ability t send and receive vibratins.
Accrding t Sueur's thesis，silence is a crucial resurce，like fd r water，which species cmpete fr t survive. "Making sund is an essential part f being alive，" he writes.But humans need t make sure we are nt mre alive than thers.
Sueur ffers practical suggestins n hw t d that.A student f writings by naturalist Jhn Muir and pet Walt Whitman，he encurages readers t seek quietness in a remte lcatin t grasp the great value f reducing nise.Be silent and tune in，he writes，fr a naturalist's meditatin （冥想），and fcuses n the external rather than internal wrld.The bk starts with ne such trip — a winter walk in the Chartreuse Muntains in France — where，Sueur writes， "Fr the very first time，I experienced silence in a natural wrld teeming with life."
8.What des the underlined wrd "racket" in the first paragraph prbably mean？______
A. HistryB. NiseC. AttractinD. Explratin
9.What can we learn abut Natural Histry f Silence frm paragraph 2？______
A. It presents the basics and different writing styles.
B. It fcuses n human sund's effect n wild animals.
C. It is written fr experienced sund researchers.
D. It highlights species' need fr limiting vibratins.
10.Which f the fllwing is Sueur's advice？______
A. Respecting animals as well as humans.
B. Writing mre abut prtecting wildlife.
C. Keeping species cmpeting fr survival.
D. Appraching the quiet but lively nature.
11.What is the text？______
A. A travel jurnal.B. A science nvel.
C. A bk review.D. A technlgy intrductin.

Recent lava （熔岩） flws sptted n Venus （金星） suggest the planet culd be much mre gelgically active than initially thught，pssibly as active as Earth.The gelgical prcesses prducing these flws，first discvered in the 1990s by the Magellan spacecraft，are likely still active and will be imprtant t bserve in upcming missins t Venus.
Venus was nce thught t be a "dead" planet，with pssible gelgical activity lng having ceased.But recent reanalysis f Magellan data has fund evidence that the activity is nging，such as a crater （火山口） that changed in shape ver eight mnths.Hwever，it has been unclear hw widespread this activity might be.
Davide Sulcanese，an Italian scientist，and his clleagues have reanalyzed Magellan radar data，lking at tw different areas n Venus's surface：the nrthern vlcan Sif Mns and a plain in the east knwn as Nibe Planitia.They fund variatins in brightness frm the reflected radar signal ver time，suggesting areas f material that have expanded，mst likely frm mving lava flws.
T cnfirm this explanatin，they ruled ut thers such as atmspheric interference r the spacecraft accidentally changing its bservatin angle，as Magellan nly captured the same area nce every eight mnths.Once the flws' vlcanic nature was cnfirmed，they wrked ut their prperties，such as hw quickly lava was prduced.The team s lwer estimates f 3.78 and 5.67 cubic kilmeters per year fr Sif Mns and Nibe Planitia respectively are rughly the same as thse f the average vlcan n Earth.They als used these figures t estimate the ttal vlcanic activity n Venus.
"Accrding t this estimate，Venus culd be far mre vlcanically active than expected，with the rate reaching the same rder f magnitude as Earth's ttal vlcanic activity，" says Sulcanese.These areas will be imprtant fr planned American and Eurpean missins t Venus，aiming t launch in the early 2030s. "It's prbable that these areas will still be active in the early 2030s，" adds Sulcanese. "Gelgically speaking，30 years is just like a few secnds fr vlcanic activity."
12.What d the lava flws shw abut Venus？______
A. It may match Earth's gelgical activity.
B. It was bserved by the latest spacecraft.
C. It has n active gelgical prcesses nw.
D. It will be ignred in future space research.
13.What can prve Venus is gelgically active？______
A. The changing vlcanic crater.
B. The remved "dead" planet image.
C. The change in the shape f the planet.
D. The cnfirmed extent f the vlcanic spread.
14.Hw did researchers cnfirm the brightness changes were caused by lava flws？______
A. By measuring lava prductin speed.
B. By bserving the same area mnthly.
C. By excluding ther pssible influences.
D. By changing the radar bservatin angle.
15.What can be inferred abut vlcanic activity frm Sulcanese's wrds？______
A. Its rate n Earth is underestimated and unclear.
B. Thirty years is brief fr it in gelgical terms.
C. New missins will verlk the mentined areas.
D. It will cme t an end n Venus befre the 2030s.

Frm lng drives t delayed flights and crwded cmmutes，mre Americans are nw reaching fr headphnes ver hardcvers.Since 2016，the percentage f Americans wh listen t audibks daily has risen frm 3% t 8%— a 167% increase.（1）______
Traditinalists insist that reading requires eyes n a page.Mre than 40% f peple believe listening t an audibk desn't truly cunt as reading.（2）______ Surely reading is abut enjying the art f strytelling，and audi bks allw that.Sme experts agree，while thers argue that the distinctin is nt s simple.
The brain area experts call the "letter bx"，which prcesses print，is nt as engaged when yu listen.But when sme peple listen t wrds，they visualize them，s the "letter bx" gets activated.Listening can activate the brain's main language cmprehensin systems.（3）______ Yet experts cautin that calling the tw experiences identical wuld be an versimplificatin.
（4）______ Audibks，n the ther hand，rely n hearing prcessing systems.Unfrtunately，that nuance （细微差别） is ften lst in debates.Reading print allws a persn t cntrl pace，reread passages and even remember where infrmatin appeared n a page.Audibks cnnect us t ur past traditins f hearing a vice tell a stry.Experts agree that the debate shuld therefre shift away frm whether audibks "cunt" as reading and tward what listeners want t gain frm the experience.
A mther like Kate paced her huse at 2 am and tried t get her baby t sleep.Audibks helped her keep her sanity （头脑清醒）.（5）______ And it is ne she is nt embarrassed abut. "I'm prud f my audibk listens，" she said.
A.Similarly，reading als des this.
B.Reading print engages visual netwrks.
C.Audibks still require attentin and fcus.
D.S pressing play remains the practical chice.
E.Yet listening lacks the deep engagement f reading.
F.S there's a debate ver whether audibks cunt as reading.
G.Others，hwever，argue that audibks "dn't cunt" feels imprper.

38.【答案】 Just then，her mm's vice came frm the drway."Oh，my dear，what happened here？" Mm hurried ver and gently tk Kate's wrist. "It's nthing，" Kate whispered，but her eyes were wet.Mm smiled and turned the heat t medium. "High heat is the enemy f eggs，" she said. "Watch me." She cracked tw eggs cleanly and pured them int the warm il.The eggs spread glden and smth. "Nw yu try，" Mm said.Kate tk a deep breath and cpied her mther.This time，the eggs didn't burn — they were a little dry，but much better. "Gd，" Mm smiled. "Yu're learning.Keep practicing."
The cmpetitin day arrived，and her parents als came t watch.Kate's heart punded as she set her statin.Just as she pured the il，the stve's heat fluctuated — a burner prblem.Had she nt practiced with her mm，she wuld have panicked.Instead，she lwered the pan and waited.The il shimmered at the right mment.She added tmates，then eggs，stirring gently.The red and yellw swirled perfectly.Her mther's wrds eched： "Cking is like life — adjust as yu g." When the judge tasted her dish，Kate didn't lk at the scre.She saw her parents' prud smiles.That，she knew，was the real prize.
