Yu Zeling, an award-winning master of paper cutting, fills her studio with cutouts of animals, people, and scenes that are so vivid that they seem to leap from the walls. Her art covers village life in Ansai, a rural district in Shaanxi Province.
Ms. Yu came to paper cutting in the late 1970s as naturally as she breathed the earthy air.“We were very poor, and when it was time to celebrate the New Year, we all put paper-cuts on the windows to decorate our houses,” she says, recalling the holiday at her childhood home. Ms. Yu and others are working to keep the folk art alive, even as it evolves away from its roots as adornment for farmhouses.
The art originated in China in the centuries after paper was invented in A.D.105. Full of auspicious (吉利的) symbols from daily life, the decorations represented good weather, many offspring, long life, wealth, and happiness.
Using newspaper, Ms. Yu first practiced cutting the image of a Chinese national flag that she saw in a school textbook. She cut it 100 times before she was satisfied. Then her aunt took over, introducing her to increasingly complicated traditional themes.
Ms. Yu was later invited to train in the Ansai's Cultural Center. After years of training,Ms.Yu became a master in her own right, winning one award after another. Her works are on display in museums. But she's humble about her achievements. “I was, and still am, a farmer,” she says with a smile.
Hoping to carry on and grow the folk art, Ms. Yu volunteers to teach at free community training sessions. Paper cutting is also taught in Ansai’s public schools. Ms. Yu is aware of the need to go beyond protecting traditions and embrace new paper-cut experiments.
4. What does the underlined word “adornment” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Celebration. B. Symbol. C. Invention. D. Decoration.
5. What can be learned about paper cutting from the text
A. It has cultural value. B. It features animals.
C. It attracts the young. D. It remains in fashion.
6. Which word best describes Ms. Yu
A. Authoritative. B. Vain. C. Devoted. D. Competitive.
7. What is the text likely to be
A. A brief history of paper cutting.
B. A new approach to paper cutting.
C. An introduction to a paper cutting master.
D. The direction of a traditional paper cutting.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. C

A recent study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has discovered that river erosion (侵蚀) can lead to increased biodiversity in areas with minimal tectonic (地壳构造的) activity. The researchers focused their attention on the Tennessee River Basin and examined how the erosion of various rock types by the river had led to the separation and diversification of a type of fish called the greenfin darter. As time passed, these separate fish populations evolved into distinct families with genetic differences.
Scientist Thomas Near observed that the greenfin darter was exclusively found in the southern half of the Tennessee River Basin. The researchers analyzed the genes of each fish in Near’s data set and constructed an evolutionary tree. This tree helped them comprehend the evolution and differences of the greenfin darter species. They discovered that the fish within the same branch of the river were more closely related to each other than to the fish in other branches.
This study provides evidence that river erosion significantly impacts biodiversity in regions with low tectonic activity. It illustrates how changes in the landscape caused by river erosion can lead to the division and diversification of species over time, even in peaceful environments. These findings enhance our understanding of the mechanisms (机制) that drive biodiversity and evolution, even in areas that are not typically associated with intense tectonic activity.
Subsequently, the team discovered a strong correlation between the habitats of the greenfin darter and the type of rocks present. The southern half of the Tennessee River Basin consists of hard, tightly packed rocks, resulting in turbulent (湍急的) waves in the rivers that flow through it. This characteristic may be favored by the greenfin darter. As a result, the team assumed whether the distribution of greenfin darter habitats had been influenced by the changing rock types, as the rivers eroded the land over time. To test this assumption, the researchers developed a simulation model. Remarkably, the results confirmed their assumption.
8. What is new about the MIT study
A. It finds river erosion can enhance biodiversity.
B. It further proves the mechanisms of river erosion.
C. It proves the geographical features of biodiversity.
D. It classifies a type of fish called the greenfin darter.
9. What can we learn about the greenfin darter
A. Their appearances vary between families. B. Their genetic constitutions have diversified.
C. They prefer the deep and slow-flowing river. D. They go extinct in the changing landscape of rivers.
10. How did Near help the researchers reach their conclusion
A. By creating an evolutionary tree of the fish.
B. By offering the fish’s genetic data.
C. By reasoning out the time the fish evolve and separate.
D. By analyzing the genetic similarity between different fish.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. River Erosion Can Shape Fish Evolution B. Genetic Change in the Greenfin Darter
C. Evolutionary Tree Analysis of the Greenfin Darter D. The Impact of Climate Change on Fish Diversity
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】

A planet that suffers 475 C beneath a thick acid atmosphere may be the last place you'd expect alien (外星的) life in our solar system. But one NASA scientist claims that extraterrestrials (天外来客) are most likely hiding on Venus amid conditions that are unbearable for humans. The new theory was put forward by the research scientist Dr Michelle Thaller. She says that possible signs of life have already been seen within the carbon-dioxide filled atmosphere, adding that she was absolutely certain that life exists somewhere.
Venus is often described as Earth's twin due to its similar size and structure. But their conditions couldn't be further apart, as astronomers believe it would be impossible for humans to exist on Venus. Positioned 67 million miles from the Sun, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system, suffering temperatures that can even melt lead. Its atmosphere also adds to the uninhabitable situation.
Despite this, scientists have long debated whether Venus' clouds may host microbial (微生物的) life forms that can survive. Many scientists think that photosynthesis (光合作用) is possible on the planet's surface as Venus receives enough solar energy to pass through its thick clouds.
However, Professor Dominic Papineau, a biologist at the University College of London, believes Dr Thaller's views are “difficult to realistically assume”. He explained, “For life-related chemical reactions to take place, liquid water is necessary. Hence, to find extraterrestrial life, we need to find liquid water, and to find extraterrestrial fossils requires looking for special rocks that were associated with liquid water in the past.”
This makes life on Venus today difficult to realistically assume, because its surface is too hot, although Venus might have had liquid water in its past. Even still, both Professor Papineau and Dr Thaller agree that the icy moons of our solar system could also be sites of potential microbial life. NASA suggests there are 290 “traditional moons” in our solar system-excluding 462 smaller minor planets.
12. What can we know about Venus
A. Its atmosphere is thin acidic.
B. It is much bigger than Earth.
C. It is 77 million miles from the Sun.
D. Venus and Earth are considered as twins.
13. Which statement would Papineau agree with
A. Photosynthesis can happen on Venus's surface.
B. Thick clouds make photosynthesis in Venus hard.
C. Liquid water is important for the extraterrestrials.
D. Some rocks can prove life exists on Venus.
14. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. The surface temperature of Venus is high.
B. It's very easy to confirm life on Venus.
C. Venus might have liquid water now.
D. Many icy moons go around Venus.
15. In which section of a newspaper can you find this text
A. Education. B. Science. C. Culture. D. Sports.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了关于金星可能存在外星生命的理论，以及科学家对此的不同观点。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Venus is often described as Earth's twin due to its similar size and structure.”（由于大小和结构相似，金星常被描述为地球的孪生星。）可知，金星和地球被认为是孪生星，故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“For life-related chemical reactions to take place, liquid water is necessary.”（对于生命相关的化学反应来说，液态水是必要的）可知，Papineau认为液态水对于外星生命是重要的，故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“This makes life on Venus today difficult to realistically assume, because its surface is too hot”（这使得今天在金星上的生命难以真实地假设，因为其表面太热。）可知，金星的表面温度很高，故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A planet that suffers 475 C beneath a thick acid atmosphere may be the last place you'd expect alien（外星的）life in our solar system. But one NASA scientist claims that extraterrestrials（天外来客）are most likely hiding on Venus amid conditions that are unbearable for humans. The new theory was put forward by the research scientist Dr Michelle Thaller.”（一颗温度高达475摄氏度的行星，在厚厚的酸性大气下，可能是我们太阳系中最不可能出现外星生命的地方。但美国宇航局的一位科学家声称，外星人很可能隐藏在人类无法忍受的条件下的金星上。这项新理论是由研究科学家米歇尔·塞勒博士提出的。）这篇文章更适合在报纸的科学版块中找到。故选B。

It was Mr. Morgan’s first day as a new history teacher. He was giving the students a lecture on the Great Depression and World War II, when the door suddenly opened. A boy walked in with his eyes fixed on the floor and took his seat without speaking a word or looking up at the teacher. “Good morning, young man,” said Mr. Morgan, his voice was strict. “It’s 9:15, and you’re 20 minutes late for class. Do you have a good reason ” But the boy just sat without responding. “Could you please stand up and introduce yourself ” Mr. Morgan added. “I’m Archie,” replied the boy as he rose and looked up, rubbing his tired eyes. Archie looked very untidy and dizzy (头晕目眩的), as though he hadn’t slept at all the previous nights. “Nice to meet you, Archie. I’m your new history teacher. You’re late for class. Do you mind telling me why You just walked in without excusing yourself, and I won’t entertain such behavior.” Archie hesitated for a while. “I’m sorry, sir. I overslept. I didn’t mean to come in late. I was just tired, sir,” he finished, unable to control his yawn, and the whole class laughed. “Silence!” Mr. Morgan demanded. “Archie, you cannot be late for class like this. Can I see your homework I heard your previous history teacher gave you assignments every weekend. Show it to me, will you ” Archie handed over his notebook, and Mr. Morgan’s expression turned uneasy. “Umm, looks like you didn’t do your homework at all.” “I didn’t do it, sir,” the boy said sheepishly as the teacher looked through the rest of the pages. “Archie, what is this You haven’t done any of your homework this whole term,” Mr. Morgan scolded. “I want to meet your parents tomorrow, alright Or I’m taking you straightto the principal’s office. Is that clear ” “Yes, sir,” Archie murmured and sat on his seat.

Yu Zeling, an award-winning master of paper cutting, fills her studio with cutouts of animals, people, and scenes that are so vivid that they seem to leap from the walls. Her art covers village life in Ansai, a rural district in Shaanxi Province.
Ms. Yu came to paper cutting in the late 1970s as naturally as she breathed the earthy air.“We were very poor, and when it was time to celebrate the New Year, we all put paper-cuts on the windows to decorate our houses,” she says, recalling the holiday at her childhood home. Ms. Yu and others are working to keep the folk art alive, even as it evolves away from its roots as adornment for farmhouses.
The art originated in China in the centuries after paper was invented in A.D.105. Full of auspicious (吉利的) symbols from daily life, the decorations represented good weather, many offspring, long life, wealth, and happiness.
Using newspaper, Ms. Yu first practiced cutting the image of a Chinese national flag that she saw in a school textbook. She cut it 100 times before she was satisfied. Then her aunt took over, introducing her to increasingly complicated traditional themes.
Ms. Yu was later invited to train in the Ansai's Cultural Center. After years of training,Ms.Yu became a master in her own right, winning one award after another. Her works are on display in museums. But she's humble about her achievements. “I was, and still am, a farmer,” she says with a smile.
Hoping to carry on and grow the folk art, Ms. Yu volunteers to teach at free community training sessions. Paper cutting is also taught in Ansai’s public schools. Ms. Yu is aware of the need to go beyond protecting traditions and embrace new paper-cut experiments.
4. What does the underlined word “adornment” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Celebration. B. Symbol. C. Invention. D. Decoration.
5. What can be learned about paper cutting from the text
A. It has cultural value. B. It features animals.
C. It attracts the young. D. It remains in fashion.
6. Which word best describes Ms. Yu
A. Authoritative. B. Vain. C. Devoted. D. Competitive.
7. What is the text likely to be
A. A brief history of paper cutting.
B A new approach to paper cutting.
C. An introduction to a paper cutting master.
D. The direction of a traditional paper cutting.
C
A recent study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has discovered that river erosion (侵蚀) can lead to increased biodiversity in areas with minimal tectonic (地壳构造的) activity. The researchers focused their attention on the Tennessee River Basin and examined how the erosion of various rock types by the river had led to the separation and diversification of a type of fish called the greenfin darter. As time passed, these separate fish populations evolved into distinct families with genetic differences.
Scientist Thomas Near observed that the greenfin darter was exclusively found in the southern half of the Tennessee River Basin. The researchers analyzed the genes of each fish in Near’s data set and constructed an evolutionary tree. This tree helped them comprehend the evolution and differences of the greenfin darter species. They discovered that the fish within the same branch of the river were more closely related to each other than to the fish in other branches.
This study provides evidence that river erosion significantly impacts biodiversity in regions with low tectonic activity. It illustrates how changes in the landscape caused by river erosion can lead to the division and diversification of species over time, even in peaceful environments. These findings enhance our understanding of the mechanisms (机制) that drive biodiversity and evolution, even in areas that are not typically associated with intense tectonic activity.
Subsequently, the team discovered a strong correlation between the habitats of the greenfin darter and the type of rocks present. The southern half of the Tennessee River Basin consists of hard, tightly packed rocks, resulting in turbulent (湍急的) waves in the rivers that flow through it. This characteristic may be favored by the greenfin darter. As a result, the team assumed whether the distribution of greenfin darter habitats had been influenced by the changing rock types, as the rivers eroded the land over time. To test this assumption, the researchers developed a simulation model. Remarkably, the results confirmed their assumption.
8. What is new about the MIT study
A. It finds river erosion can enhance biodiversity.
B. It further proves the mechanisms of river erosion.
C. It proves the geographical features of biodiversity.
D. It classifies a type of fish called the greenfin darter.
9. What can we learn about the greenfin darter
A. Their appearances vary between families. B. Their genetic constitutions have diversified.
C. They prefer the deep and slow-flowing river. D. They go extinct in the changing landscape of rivers.
10. How did Near help the researchers reach their conclusion
A. By creating an evolutionary tree of the fish.
B. By offering the fish’s genetic data.
C. By reasoning out the time the fish evolve and separate.
D. By analyzing the genetic similarity between different fish.
11 What is the best title for the text
A. River Erosion Can Shape Fish Evolution B. Genetic Change in the Greenfin Darter
C. Evolutionary Tree Analysis of the Greenfin Darter D. The Impact of Climate Change on Fish Diversity

A planet that suffers 475 C beneath a thick acid atmosphere may be the last place you'd expect alien (外星的) life in our solar system. But one NASA scientist claims that extraterrestrials (天外来客) are most likely hiding on Venus amid conditions that are unbearable for humans. The new theory was put forward by the research scientist Dr Michelle Thaller. She says that possible signs of life have already been seen within the carbon-dioxide filled atmosphere, adding that she was absolutely certain that life exists somewhere.
Venus is often described as Earth's twin due to its similar size and structure. But their conditions couldn't be further apart, as astronomers believe it would be impossible for humans to exist on Venus. Positioned 67 million miles from the Sun, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system, suffering temperatures that can even melt lead. Its atmosphere also adds to the uninhabitable situation.
Despite this, scientists have long debated whether Venus' clouds may host microbial (微生物的) life forms that can survive. Many scientists think that photosynthesis (光合作用) is possible on the planet's surface as Venus receives enough solar energy to pass through its thick clouds.
However, Professor Dominic Papineau, a biologist at the University College of London, believes Dr Thaller's views are “difficult to realistically assume”. He explained, “For life-related chemical reactions to take place, liquid water is necessary. Hence, to find extraterrestrial life, we need to find liquid water, and to find extraterrestrial fossils requires looking for special rocks that were associated with liquid water in the past.”
This makes life on Venus today difficult to realistically assume, because its surface is too hot, although Venus might have had liquid water in its past. Even still, both Professor Papineau and Dr Thaller agree that the icy moons of our solar system could also be sites of potential microbial life. NASA suggests there are 290 “traditional moons” in our solar system-excluding 462 smaller minor planets.

It was Mr. Morgan’s first day as a new history teacher. He was giving the students a lecture on the Great Depression and World War II, when the door suddenly opened. A boy walked in with his eyes fixed on the floor and took his seat without speaking a word or looking up at the teacher. “Good morning, young man,” said Mr. Morgan, his voice was strict. “It’s 9:15, and you’re 20 minutes late for class. Do you have a good reason ” But the boy just sat without responding. “Could you please stand up and introduce yourself ” Mr. Morgan added. “I’m Archie,” replied the boy as he rose and looked up, rubbing his tired eyes. Archie looked very untidy and dizzy (头晕目眩的), as though he hadn’t slept at all the previous nights. “Nice to meet you, Archie. I’m your new history teacher. You’re late for class. Do you mind telling me why You just walked in without excusing yourself, and I won’t entertain such behavior.” Archie hesitated for a while. “I’m sorry, sir. I overslept. I didn’t mean to come in late. I was just tired, sir,” he finished, unable to control his yawn, and the whole class laughed. “Silence!” Mr. Morgan demanded. “Archie, you cannot be late for class like this. Can I see your homework I heard your previous history teacher gave you assignments every weekend.

Is that clear ” “Yes, sir,” Archie murmured and sat on his seat.
