(經(jīng)過(guò)清洗和取暖，這只小貓頭鷹活了下來(lái))”可知，被拯救的小貓頭鷹是被人遺棄的，狀況很糟糕并且很小。D選項(xiàng)“Itwastinyandinpoorcondition.(它很小，而且狀況很差)”與原文信息相符。故選D?！?5題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Winterwasintheair,makingeasyfoodmuchlessavailable,andshehadneverlearnedtohunt.Iwouldnotrisklettingherlooseandhavingherstarve.(冬天來(lái)臨了，容易得到的食物越來(lái)越少，而她從來(lái)沒(méi)有學(xué)會(huì)打獵。我不會(huì)冒險(xiǎn)放了她，讓她餓死。)”可知，冬天來(lái)了，Alfie能夠得到的食物越來(lái)越少，因此作者想等Alfie準(zhǔn)備好了再放她即他們想等Alfie準(zhǔn)備好了就放了她。故選B。【26題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Sheandhermateraisedthreebabybirdsthatfirstyear,buildingnewlinksinthegreatchainthathasgoneunbrokenformillionsofowlgenerations.(第一年，她和她的伴侶養(yǎng)育了三只幼鳥(niǎo)，在這個(gè)已經(jīng)延續(xù)了數(shù)百萬(wàn)代的巨大鏈條上建立了新的紐帶)”可知，Alfie和她的伴侶養(yǎng)育了三只幼鳥(niǎo)，在這個(gè)已經(jīng)延續(xù)了數(shù)百萬(wàn)代的巨大鏈條上建立了新的紐帶即Alfie促成了貓頭鷹世代的延續(xù)。故選A。【27題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Alfielivesinrelationship,andoursurprisingcapacitytorelatetooneanotherexpandedmyperspectiveonherlifeandmine.(Alfie生活在一種親密關(guān)系中，我們令人驚訝的相互關(guān)聯(lián)能力擴(kuò)展了我對(duì)她的生活和我的生活的視野。)”以及最后一段中“Peopleforthousandsofyearslivedinrelationshipwithnatureandwiththeirmunities.IfthereisonelessonfromAlfie,itisthattoliveinrelationshipishowwemightheal.(幾千年來(lái)，人們一直生活在與自然和社區(qū)的關(guān)系中。如果我們能從Alfie身上學(xué)到什么，那就是生活在一段關(guān)系中，我們才能痊愈。)”可知，作者認(rèn)為與貓頭鷹Alfie的相處是一種親密的關(guān)系，拓展了作者對(duì)于動(dòng)物的生活以及自身人類(lèi)生活的視野，作者從Alfie身上明白的是人與自然以及社群之間關(guān)系的重要性，并呼吁要嘗試修復(fù)這些關(guān)系即作者寫(xiě)這篇文章的目的是提醒讀者重新思考我們與野生動(dòng)物和環(huán)境的關(guān)系。故選C。CThefirstpersontoreceiveabrainmonitoringdevicefrom

(神經(jīng)技術(shù)公司Neuralink的創(chuàng)始人埃隆·馬斯克本周透露，第一個(gè)接受該公司大腦監(jiān)測(cè)設(shè)備的人可以用意念控制電腦光標(biāo)。)”和第二段“Muskannouncedon29JanuarythatNeuralinkhadimplantedabrain–puterinterface(BCI)intoahumanforthefirsttime.

(1月29日，馬斯克宣布Neuralink首次將腦機(jī)接口(BCI)植入人體。)”可知，馬斯克宣布Neuralink首次將腦機(jī)接口(BCI)植入人體即Neuralink成功地將BCI植入了人腦中。故選D?！?9題詳解】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)前文“Thepanyhasalsoproducedasurgicalrobotforinsertingitsdevice.

Butithasnotconfirmedwhetherthatsystemwasusedforthefirsthumanimplant.(該公司還生產(chǎn)了一款用于植入該設(shè)備的手術(shù)機(jī)器人。但尚未證實(shí)該系統(tǒng)是否用于首次人體植入。)”以及“Detailsaboutthefirstrecipientarealso…(關(guān)于第一個(gè)接收者的詳細(xì)信息也是……)”可知，Neuralink是否在第一例實(shí)驗(yàn)中用機(jī)器人植入設(shè)備并未得到證實(shí)，劃線(xiàn)詞所在的句子與前文構(gòu)成并列關(guān)系，強(qiáng)調(diào)使用該款手術(shù)機(jī)器人的不足之處，因此推斷關(guān)于第一個(gè)接收者的詳細(xì)信息也是缺乏的。故劃線(xiàn)詞與B選項(xiàng)“inadequate(不充分的)”為同義詞。故選B。【30題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“ButitisafarcryfromMusk’sambitionsfortheNeuralinkdevice.“ImagineifStephenHawkingcouldmunicatefasterthanaspeedtypistorauctioneer,”MuskwrotelastmonthonX.

(但這與馬斯克對(duì)Neuralink設(shè)備的雄心相去甚遠(yuǎn)。“想象一下，如果斯蒂芬·霍金的交流速度比打字員或拍賣(mài)師還快，”馬斯克上個(gè)月在X上寫(xiě)道。)”可知，馬斯克期望Neuralink設(shè)備速度要更快，因此推斷他是一位在神經(jīng)科技方面特別有抱負(fù)的人。故選C?！?1題詳解】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“Butresearcherssaythatthisisnotamajorfeat—andtheyareconcernedaboutthesecrecyaroundthedevice’ssafetyandperformance.(但研究人員表示，這并不是一項(xiàng)重大成就，他們擔(dān)心該設(shè)備的安全性和性能的保密性。)”和最后一段“However,evenmoreimportantatthisstage,researcherssay,issafety—ofboththedeviceandthesurgery.Shethsaysheandotherresearchersareinthedarkaboutthesystem’sfirstapplicationintheclinic.(然而，研究人員說(shuō)，在這個(gè)階段更重要的是設(shè)備和手術(shù)的安全性。Sheth說(shuō)，他和其他研究人員對(duì)該系統(tǒng)在臨床中的首次應(yīng)用一無(wú)所知。)”可知，Neuralink公司創(chuàng)始人埃隆·馬斯克透露，該公司首位接受腦監(jiān)測(cè)設(shè)備植入的人可以用思維控制計(jì)算機(jī)光標(biāo)。然而，研究人員表示，這并不是一項(xiàng)重大成就，并對(duì)該設(shè)備的安全性和性能保密表示擔(dān)憂(yōu)。研究人員對(duì)神經(jīng)技術(shù)公司Neuralink的腦監(jiān)測(cè)設(shè)備的安全性和性能存在擔(dān)憂(yōu)，稱(chēng)其控制電腦光標(biāo)只是小成就，并表示對(duì)該設(shè)備的安全性和手術(shù)所知甚少。D選項(xiàng)“Neuralinkbrainchip:advancesparkssafetyandsecrecyconcerns(Neuralink腦芯片：進(jìn)展引發(fā)安全性和保密性擔(dān)憂(yōu))”概括文章主要內(nèi)容，符合標(biāo)題。故選D。DBredtobesweeter,today’scherries,bananasandapplestastedifferentthantheyusedtobutnotnecessarilybetter.Amongfruitfarmers,theword“quality”isnowroutinelyusedasastandardfor“highinsugar”,thoughfirmness,colorandsizearealsoconsiderations.Inarecentstudyaboutwaystoenhancethesweetnessoffruitusing“molecular(分子的)approaches”,agroupofplantscientistswrotethat,ingeneral,thesugarcontentofmanyfruitsarenowhigherthanbeforeowingtocontinuousselectionandbreeding.Modernapplevarieties,thescientistsstressed,wereonaveragesweeterthanolderones.Thesweetnessoffruitdependsnotjustonhowitisbredbutalsoongrowingconditions,yieldandharvest.Theleadresearcher,Sugiura,said,“Ifyoucouldtasteanappleharvested30yearsago,youwouldfeelthedifference.”Hebelievedthatmodernapplesarepickedsoearlythateveniftheyarebredforsweetness,theyoftendon’tdeveloptheirfullcharacter.Thefragranceneverdevelopsinfruitthatisharvestedtooearly.JimCooper,anapplefarmerinEngland,isregretfultoadmitthefactthatmanypeoplewillnevertastethe“strawberryhint”inareallyripePearmain,atypeofheritageapple.Inaway,theriseofconsistentlysweeterfruitinourlifetimeshasbeenavictoryofplantbreeding.Afterall,it’sararepersonwhowouldseekoutbittergrapesiftheycouldhavesweetonesinstead.Butthesweetnessofmodernfruitisnotwithoutitsproblems,especiallyforpeoplewithdiabetes(糖尿病),whohavetoreducetheirintakeofhighersugarfruits.Fruitthatisbredsweeteralsotendstobelowerinthechemicalsthatmakeithealthy.Consideringhealth,maybetherealproblemwithmodernfruitisthatithasbeeyetanothersweetthinginaworldwithsugar.Evengrapefruits,whichusedtobequitebitter,aresometimesnowassweetasoranges.Ifyou’venevertastedasourcherry,howcanyoufullyappreciateasweetone?32.Inwhataspectismanyfruitsdifferentfrombefore?A.Brightcolor.

(JimCooper是英國(guó)的一名蘋(píng)果農(nóng)，他很遺憾地承認(rèn)，許多人永遠(yuǎn)嘗不到真正成熟的一種傳統(tǒng)蘋(píng)果Pearmain的“草莓味”。在某種程度上，在我們的生活中不斷出現(xiàn)的更甜的水果還是植物育種的勝利。)”可知，Cooper認(rèn)為現(xiàn)代水果的培育讓很多人永遠(yuǎn)嘗不到真正的傳統(tǒng)蘋(píng)果的味道，因此其對(duì)現(xiàn)代水果育種的態(tài)度是否定的。A選項(xiàng)“Critical.(批評(píng)的)”與其態(tài)度相符。故選A項(xiàng)?！?5題詳解】主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Butthesweetnessofmodernfruitisnotwithoutitsproblems,especiallyforpeoplewithdiabetes(糖尿病),whohavetoreducetheirintakeofhighersugarfruits.(但現(xiàn)代水果的甜味也不是沒(méi)有問(wèn)題，尤其是對(duì)糖尿病患者來(lái)說(shuō)，他們必須減少高糖水果的攝入量。)”可知，現(xiàn)代水果的甜味對(duì)于一些糖尿病患者來(lái)說(shuō)會(huì)導(dǎo)致他們的健康問(wèn)題，故本段以此為例說(shuō)明了水果的甜味會(huì)導(dǎo)致健康問(wèn)題。A選項(xiàng)“Thesweetnessoffruitswillcausehealthissues.(水果的甜味會(huì)引起健康問(wèn)題。)”符合本段主旨。故選A項(xiàng)。第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2.5分，滿(mǎn)分12.5分)閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。HowtoStopLaughingatInappropriateTimesAlthoughlaughingatinappropriatetimescanbeembarrassing,it’sactuallyanaturalreactionforsomepeoplewhenthey’refacingahighlystressfulsituation.Itcanhelpyou
