（2023·四川成都·成都七中校考模拟预测）Like a tired marriage, the relatinship between libraries and publishers has lng been dull. E-bks, hwever, are causing heartache. Libraries knw they need digital wares if they are t remain relevant, but many publishers are t cautius abut piracy (盗版) and lst sales t cperate. Amng the big six, nly Randm Huse and Harper Cllins license e-bks with mst libraries.
Publishers are wise t be nervus. Owners f e-readers are exactly the custmers they need: bk- lvers with mney. If these peple switch t brrwing e-bks instead f buying them, what then? Electrnic brrwing is awfully cnvenient. Unlike printed bks, e-bk files can be dwnladed at hme frm digital libraries anytime. The files disappear frm the device when they are due autmatically. Awkwardly fr publishers, buying an e-bk csts mre than renting ne but ffers little extra value.
E-lending is nt simple, hwever. There are lts f different and ften incmpatible (不兼容的) e-bk frmats, devices and licenses. Mst libraries use a cmpany called OverDrive, which secures rights frm publishers and prvides e-bks and audi files in every frmat. Yet publishers and libraries are wrried by OverDrive’s glbal market dminance, as the cmpany can cntrl fees and cnditins. Publishers were annyed when OverDrive teamed up with Amazn, the wrld’s biggest nline bkseller, last year. Owners f Amazn’s Kindle e-reader wh want t brrw e-bks frm libraries are nw redirected t Amazn’s website, where Amazn fllws up library frequenters directly, letting them knw they can “Buy this bk” when the lan falls due.
Accrding t Pew, an pinin researcher, library users are a perfect market fr Amazn. Late last year Amazn intrduced its Kindle Owners’ Lending Library, which lets its best custmers brrw free ne f thusands f ppular bks each mnth.
Library supprters argue that bk brrwers are als bk buyers and that libraries are vital spaces fr readers t discver new wrks. Many were cheered by a recent Pew survey which fund that mre than half f Americans with library cards say they prefer t buy their e-bks. S, publishers keep adjusting their lending arrangements in search f the right balance. Randm Huse raised its licensing prices earlier this year, and Harper Cllins limits libraries t lending its titles 26 times.
5．What can be inferred frm Paragraph 1?
A．Many publishers are hesitant t license e-bks.
B．The library-publisher relatinship has been unstable.
C．Libraries and publishers hld the same view twards e-bks.
D．Randm Huse and Harper Cllins are the tp tw publishers.
6．Why are publishers wrried abut electrnic brrwing?
A．There may be a nticeable drp in prfit.
B．Rights fr publishers can’t be secured any lnger.
C．E-bks can be dwnladed again when they are due.
D．E-bks and their audi files are prvided in every frmat.
7．What can we learn frm the text?
A．Amazn is adpting measures t win mre custmers.
B．E-bks can be lent at libraries as many times as yu like.
C．OverDrive distributes e-bks and audi files t publishers.
D．Over half f Americans are brrwing e-bks frm libraries.
8．What is the best title fr the text?
A．Reading Online r OfflineB．A Marriage-like Relatinship
C．A Bright Future fr PublishersD．A Tense Stry Raised by E-bks
（2023·四川成都·成都七中校考模拟预测）Dreams, accrding t Carl Jung, reveal a certain amunt f reality hidden during waking cnsciusness. In Jungian philsphy, the cnflict and chas experienced in dreams finally bring rder t ur lives. While Jung’s mystical theries are debatable, he was nt mistaken abut the imprtance f dreaming. A grwing number f reprts shw that a cntinuus lack f dreaming is damaging ur waking hurs in many ways.
This trend is causing damage t ur immune and metablic (新陈代谢的) systems, let alne the electrnic prducts that keep us up late at night are ruining ur sleep patterns, which has lng-term cnsequences n ur memry system. One study shwed that nt allwing mice t have adequate amunts f REM (Rapid Eye Mvement) sleep, the stage in which we dream, the mice culdn’t strengthen memries.
Yu might think this is just a sleep prblem, but dreaming is inseparable frm ur night-time rest. We sleep in cycles, each lasting abut 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle, we g thrugh nn-REM sleep befre hitting REM. As the night prgresses, REM sleep perids increase in length while deep sleep (ne f the stages f nn-REM sleep) decreases. The lnger we sleep, the mre time we spend in REM, which is why we are ften dreaming when waking up in the mrning. If we sleep less than seven hurs, hwever, it becmes harder t achieve this level f REM.
The cmbinatin f sleeping and dreaming acts as an emtinal stabiliser. We recver frm emtinal hurt faster when we sleep and dream prperly. Hwever, we’re nt getting enugh sleep t cycle thrugh the stages t take advantage f this natural circadian anti-depressant (抗抑郁剂) — dreams. Instead, we get depressed and turn t alchl r medicines t get t sleep, which nly makes things wrse because even ne drink leads t late REM while anti-depressants prmte deep sleep at the expense f REM.
We’re paying fr this lack f dreaming in many ways. Fr example, a 2021 study stated that cmpared with quiet rest and nn-REM sleep, REM prmted the frmatin f assciative netwrks and the integratin (整合) f unassciated infrmatin. Vlunteers that experienced mre REM sleep were better equipped fr slving prblems requiring creative slutins.
Rwan Hper, the managing editr at New Scientist, writes that dreams that include an “emtinal cre” appear t be a main functin f REM sleep and that we shuld lk at sleep patterns as seriusly as we d diet and exercise habits.
9．What’s Carl Jung’s view abut dreams?
A．They cause chas.B．They mirrr reality.
C．They reveal secrets.D．They damage immunity.
10．What des “this trend” in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A．Insufficient sleep.B．A cnstant state f dreamlessness.
C．Addictin t electrnic prducts.D．Mre research n sleep and dreams.
11．What can we learn abut REM?
A．REM helps peple fight depressin.
B．REM can be imprved by anti-depressants.
C．REM sleep ccurs befre nn-REM sleep.
D．The brain receives new infrmatin during REM sleep.
12．What’s the main idea f the passage?
A．The imprtance f sleep lies in dreams.
B．The absence f dreams is harmful t human beings.
C．Dreaming patterns are mre imprtant than we realise.

（2023·江西南昌·统考二模）Just as digital transfrmatin imprved many businesses and emerging technlgy, artificial intelligence (A．I.), and machine learning als have the ptential t greatly imprve peratins in health care settings. Bringing in these changes is becming increasingly ppular fr health care prviders.
One cmpany leading the autmatin revlutin in health care is AKASA, a San Francisc-based develper f A．I. fr health care peratins. “American medicine may be the best in, the wrld, but the health care system is still far behind because it has a cmplicated back-end, system,” says AKASA’s chief executive fficer and c-funder Malinka Walaliyadde. “We are simplifying and autmating that system t make it a better experience fr health care prviders.”
Fr AKASA, the result has been an immediate imprvement in bth patient satisfactin and Omaha, fr example, began their rganizatin’s revenues(收入). Methdist Health System in Omaha, fr example, began wrking with AKASA t autmate the nn-value-added aspects within its revenue cycle. “Nw, prcesses that used t take mre than seven minutes t determine are dwn t just ne minute,” says Jeff Francis, Methdist Health System’s chief financial fficer and vice president f finance. “There has been a sharp increase in revenue, which is up by at least 1% t $3 billin.”
Walaliyadde credits AKASA’s impressive prduct ffering and its amazing results t the devtin and unmatched expertise f its wrkfrce. “We hire the best and the brightest in bth the health care and technlgy wrlds frm arund the cuntry and give emplyees the resurces t slve ld prblems in new ways. The mre unique backgrunds we can bring t a prject, the better equipped we’ ll be t handle challenges with new and creative slutins,” Walaliyadde says. Even as AKASA strengthens its place in the health care technlgy field, Walaliyadde knws there are many mre innvatins t cme. “We have made a large amunt f prgress already,” he says, “but there is s much mre t d.”

（2023·广东汕头·汕头金山中学南区学校校考二模）SntBt is n a missin. The taster-sized drne(无人机)flies ver the pen cean,directly abve an unusual whale. On a bat nearby,Andy Rgan smiles with jy. Rgan has been studying whales in his entire career but had never seen this species.
Back in 2011,Lian Pin Kh and Serge Wich,cnservatin experts,wndered if there might be an easier way t get data f animals in the wild. Wildlife researchers ften walk thrugh frests. They may lk clsely at whales frm bats r stay in helicpters t view animals frm abve. Such trips are usually dangerus. Plus,their nise may scare animals. And helicpters can’t fly very far ver the cean because there’s nwhere t land r refuel.
“We thught,’What if yu fly ver them with a flying camera?’’says Wich. S they put tgether a drne frm a remte-cntrl mdel airplane and camera equipment. And it did the trick. On a test flight,the drne caught an image f an rangutan(猩猩)at the tp f a very tall tree. The pair realized this was just the beginning f a whle new way f ding cnservatin wrk.
Nw Wich and his clleagues are building AI that autmatically lcates and recgnizes animals. They call their prject Cnservatin Al. When smene uplads an image r vide,the mdel analyzes the data. Then the mdel recgnizes anything it can. In the future,an AI mdel culd keep watch,instead f frest guards. It culd send warnings when seeing dubtful activities..
The team tested this idea in a study in East Africa. Vlunteers in Tanzania pretended t be pachers(偷猎者). The researchers made drnes fly ver the actrs at different times f the day. Overall,peple lking at the drne images did a better jb than the Al mdel at finding pretend pachers. The mdel picked ut many things that weren’t peple at all. But the mdel fund pachers that mst peple missed. With a little mre wrk, Wich thinks that systems like this will make it easier fr cnservatinists t better prtect endangered animals.
17．What can we say abut the researchers’ traditinal way f studying animals?
A．It’s risky and ineffective.B．It’s demanding and cheap.
C．It can cause great harm t wildlife.D．It usually fcuses n land animals.
18．What can we infer abut Cnservatin AI frm the passage?
A．It can replace cnservatinists’ wrk.B．It wrks by studying data first.
C．It can punish the pachers.D．It is fully autmated.
19．What is Wich’s attitude t the future f the AI mdel?
A．Critical.B．HpefulC．Wrried.D．Prejudiced.
20．Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A．Achievements in Wildlife Cnservatin
B．Majr Discveries f Bilgical Species
C．AI Study Has Achieved a Breakthrugh
D．Flying Rbts Prtect Endangered Wildlife
（2023·安徽合肥·合肥一中统考二模）In a new finding that ges against current cnservatin patterns, re-intrducing wlves and ther predatrs (捕食者) t ur landscapes des nt amazingly reduce deer ppulatins, restre wrsening ecsystems r significantly threaten livestck (家禽), accrding t a new study.
“The hpes and fears that we have n bth sides f the debate—neither are realized,” said cnservatin bilgist Bernd Blssey, prfessr f natural resurces and the envirnment at Crnell University. On the ne hand, there is little evidence fr claims that re-intrducing large predatrs such as wlves, bears and muntain lins is a majr threat t livestck and wild animals such as white-tailed deer and mule deer. When the wlf was taken ff the endangered species list, hunters and livestck prducers, and sme state gvernments, called fr actin t safeguard the wildlife they wanted t hunt and the livestck that was their livelihd. But it is nearly impssible t independently evaluate thse claims, Blssey said. Other factrs als kill livestck, frm lightning strikes t extreme weather and diseases.
On the ther hand, the claim that wlves and ther predatrs can cntrl deer ppulatins and restre wrsening ecsystems lacks evidence as well. “Meaningfully reducing deer ppulatins in Wiscnsin alne wuld require tens f thusands f wlves, which is eclgically and scially impssible,” said Blssey. And wlves alne can’t repair the eclgical damage humans have dne, he said. A ppular vide “Hw wlves change rivers,” which has been viewed mre than 43 millin times, suggests that the re-intrductin f wlves in Yellwstne Natinal Park benefited the entire ecsystem. “I was as fled like everybdy else by the lvely stries that came ut f Yellwstne saying, yu bring wlves back, and yu restre the rivers, and everything’s satisfactry,” said Blssey.
We shuld see large predatrs like wlves as a valuable part eclgical cmmunities in their wn right, Blssey said, and nt just fr their functin. “As lng as peple learn t live with and tlerate the new (ld) neighbrs, a careful but nt fully cnflict-free existence appears pssible,” said Blssey.
21．Which f the fllwing des Blssey prbably agree with?
A．The lss f livestck may nt necessarily be due t wlves.
B．Peple shuld nt take wlves ff the endangered species list
C．Peple shuld take actin t prtect livestck and wild animals.
D．The threat t predatrs cmes frm climate change and diseases.
22．Which wrd best describes Blssey’s attitude t the vide “Hw wlves change rivers”?
A．Tlerant.B．Unclear.
C．Dubtful.D．Favrable.
23．What des Bernd Blssey say abut large predatrs in the last paragraph?
A．They upset the balance f the ecsystem.
B．They shuld rightfully stay in their habitats.
C．They are key t restring the envirnment.
D．They change peple’s view abut rewilding.
24．What is the text mainly abut?
A．The value f humans’ living tgether with animals
B．The imprtance f restring wrsening ecsystems.
C．A debate ver the threat t livestck and wild animals.
D．A clarificatin f the effects f bringing back the wlves.
（2023·安徽合肥·合肥一中统考二模）I am thinking tday abut my new favrite thing. It’s an app that my husband tld me a few years ag that helps me bypass all the bstacles (障碍) in my way: pthles, heavy traffic, and even speed cameras.
T be hnest, when my husband first tld me abut it, I didn’t pay much attentin. I was nly ging t places I already knew hw t get t. Plus, I learned t drive frm my father—wh never turned t a map. I think I mistakenly absrbed the message that real drivers didn’t need a map; yu smehw just magically knew where t g. It was nly later that I realized that just getting a driver’s license didn’t mean yu knew hw t get t places—that was lessn ne. Lessn tw came when my kids started playing n tw different travel teams. The drivers in ur husehld suddenly had the need t head in different directins n the same day.
Suddenly my app became very meaningful t me. Hw did I ever manage t get t strange playing fields hidden smewhere withut it? But the crazy thing I have als nticed is hw ften I just dn’t listen t it. Why might that be? D I just prefer the ld rutes, even if they are actually wrse? I see an analgy (类比) t the present mment. There is evidence that sme ld ideas and sme lng familiar ideas will send us int a bring unchanging lifestyle. But fr sme reasn we like them better than an unfamiliar new rute that might take us int areas we’ve never heard f, let alne visited.
It can be hard t admit we dn’t knw everything. As a persn wh still drives an 8-year-ld stick shift and wh has never std in line fr anything new, I certainly understand that. But I als try t remember the times I let g f my eg (自负), r my fear, and learned that life culd be better. Nt perfect—but better. I am glad I finally listened t my husband abut that app. He was right.
25．What did the authr think f the app at the very beginning?
A．It was magical.B．It was practically valueless.
C．It was pwerful.D．It was nt as gd as a map.
26．What wuld prbably make the authr ignre the app’s instructins?
A．Her desire t explre alne.B．Her dubt abut the new device.
C．Her preference fr the new rutes.D．Her refusal t experience changes.
27．What can be inferred abut the authr frm the last paragraph?
A．She is willing t challenge herself.B．She cares little abut thers’ cmments.
C．She recgnizes her prblems easily.D．She is t inflexible t make any change.
28．Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A．Real Drivers Knw Their WayB．It Pays t Take a New Rute

（2023·安徽合肥·合肥一中统考二模）Researchers set up an experiment in which 5-year-lds were tested with their fellws under different circumstances f transparency (透明) and different audiences. They set up a sticker machine that in sme settings was transparent, and ther settings in which nly the giver f stickers knew hw many stickers he culd give. They had children give ut stickers in bth settings. The results were striking: children were cnsistently generus nly when the receiver and audience f the stickers were fully aware f the dnatin ptins. Children were ntably ungenerus when the receiver f stickers culdn’t see the ptins.
The researchers said, “Children nly shwed cnsistently pr-scial behavir in ur study in the cnditin when they culd see the receiver and their allcatins (分配物) were fully visible; in all ther cnditins, children were statistically ungenerus, giving the receiver the smaller amunt f stickers.”
They made the cnclusins that at a very early age, children are learning hw t psitin themselves scially. Well befre they apprehend the scilgy f their netwrks and what scial reputatin really means, they think strategically abut giving as a functin f hw they can gain a reputatin with a peer as a generus citizen r pr-scial agent when the receiver bserves them.
Children change their behavir in respnse t having an audience. Help children give t thers in full view, delivering meals t families, and in private, drpping ff treats r surprises fr thse wh need supprt withut signing their names. Als, children shuld be reminded that thank-yu ntes are lvely but unnecessary t receive. When we give gifts r lend help t thers, try t help children remember why—t prvide smething fr anther. It really desn’t have t be recgnized. When a thank-yu card desn’t cme, it desn’t make a gift any less valuable r meaningful fr thse wh were lucky enugh t receive.
29．What did the researchers discver?
A．The givers’ behavir greatly inspired the receivers t help in return.
B．The children gave ut an equal number f stickers in bth settings.
C．The presence f an audience affected children’s decisins t give.
D．Dnating helped children t becme mre generus in the future.
30．Which is pr-scial behavir accrding t the researchers?
A．Observing the givers.B．Dnating mre stickers.
C．Gaining a reputatin.D．Receiving mre allcatins.

31．词义猜测题。根据第三自然段“They made the cnclusins that at a very early age, children are learning hw t psitin themselves scially. (他们得出的结论是，在很小的时候，孩子们就在学习如何在社会上定位自己。)”可知，孩子们在很小的时候就在学习如何在社会上定位自己。根据划线词前“Well befre (在……之前)”以及其后“the scilgy f their netwrks and what scial reputatin really means (网络的社会学以及社会声誉的真正含义)”可知，孩子们早在他们理解网络的社会学以及社会声誉的真正含义之前就在学习如何在社会上定位自己。故apprehend意为“理解”。A. Share.分享；B. Predict.预测；C. Cnfirm.证实；D. Understand. 理解。故选D。
32．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Help children give t thers in full view, delivering meals t families, and in private, drpping ff treats r surprises fr thse wh need supprt withut signing their names.
