Hiking is tricky when you're carrying a threatened species. Ally Whitbread carefully walked through the wilds while carrying a cooler full of small, rare snails(蜗牛)—the Chittenango ovate amber snails.
\"I feel like I've got 500 babies to take care of—just like a very ray mother hen,\" she said. Whitbread is part of a team transporting a lab-grown population to a new, remote home. The snails are facing extinction—only dozens are estimated to remain at one waterfall in upstate New York. \"Such a recovery process can take years to decades. There are several things remaining to be unlocked during the process—what the action is going to bring, what role that species might play, and whether they might live well. We are just racing to better understand our planet's biodiversity before the species die out.\"
It took the scientists years to raise this population in the lab. The hike to a hidden waterfall is a chance to examine what makes them grow well in the wild, or what doesn't. The snails don't have any known unique features critical to humans, and it's been a long journey just to attempt to save them. These efforts could figure out their hidden benefits.
Specialist Cody Gilbertson said the drive to save them can go deeper, not just the love for science. The creatures are no bigger than a fingertip and look up at their caregivers. \"You know their big eyes are staring at you, like—there's no way that you're not going to kind of fall in love,\" Gilbertson said.
Dropping them off at their new waterfall home wasn't even the end—it'll be another 5 years before the team knows whether the snails can survive there. They'll go for a hike twice a month to track their progress.
4．How does Whitbread feel about the snails' future? A. Hopeful.
B. Disappointed.
C. Excited.
D. Uncertain.
5．Why do the scientists bring the lab-raised snails to the new habitat? A. To unlock their hidden benefits. C. To preserve the planet's biodiversity.
B. To identify factors in their survival. D. To observe their reproducing process.
6．What motivated Gilbertson to save the snails? A. Their potential role. C. Their lovable appearance.
B. Their endangered state. D. Their growing conditions.
7．Which can be the best title for the text? A. Lengthy Rescue to Resettle a Tiny Snail B. Innovative Try at Studying Threatened Species C. Special Experience of Hiking with Snails D. Major Breakthrough in Protecting Rare Species
Do you find yourself checking social media sites as soon as you wake up? Do you answer emails on your phone while surfing the Web? Actually, we’ve lived a life in which we’re all connected, all the time. Whether or not this is a good thing is the subject of Hamlet’s BlackBerry, a non-fiction book by William Powers based on an essay he penned.
Early in the work, Powers questions the way we use devices, but certainly he doesn’t criticize it. He does, however, recognize the downside of constantly being overstimulated — or what he calls the “problem of connectedness”. Among the things disturbed by the problem, Powers says, are the ways in which people are connected and deal with each other. “Constantly switching among people on social media platforms, texts and all the new ways of connecting all day, we never have a sustained connection.” His intention of writing Hamlet’s BlackBerry is to help teach people how to connect more wisely. Powers looked to the past, where he found several precedents (先例) for both the current information age and the anxiety that has come with it.
One major figure Powers examines actually developed his own strategies for dealing with overstimulation. In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Hamlet is informed his father is murdered by his uncle and too shocked by the news to think calmly, he pulls out his “tables” from the pocket, an object Powers describes as a sort of original electronic planner. In the Elizabethan age, tables were a kind of new device designed to help people bring order to their lives despite massive news. You could write notes during the day and wipe (擦掉) them away at night.
But how do we deal with the same problem? Powers has one suggestion that’s child’s play: just disconnect. His family, for example, takes an “Internet Rest Day” every weekend.
“We don’t have smartphones. Therefore we can’t check our inboxes and do Web surfing that day. We really enter another zone and it’s wonderful. Even when we’re connected to the Internet again, we feel benefits of having been disconnected days before,” he says. “It’s just about that simple word — balance.”
8．What can be influenced by overstimulation according to Powers? A. Thoughts.
B. Health.
C. Productivity.
D. Relationships.
9．What can we infer about the people in the Elizabethan age? A. They advocated an orderly life. B. They could handle information overload. C. They regarded tables as a necessity. D. They improved technology to make plans.
10．What does Powers think of the “Internet Rest Day”? A. It is a symbol of balance. C. It has a lasting influence.
B. It lightens the family atmosphere. D. It is seemingly difficult to follow.
11．Where is the text most likely taken from? A. An introduction to a book. C. A report on digitization.
B. An article about the Web’s impacts. D. A review of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
As the planet gets hotter, the need for cool living environments is becoming more urgent. But air conditioning is not always recommended for use since units produce massive greenhouse gases and use lots of energy. Now, researchers have found in a new study an inexpensive, sustainable choice to replace mechanical cooling with refrigerants (制冷剂) in hot and dry climates, and a way to mitigate the dangers of heat waves during electricity blackouts.
The researchers set out to answer how to achieve a new benchmark (基准) for passive cooling inside naturally conditioned buildings in hot climates such as Southern California. They examined the use of roof materials that radiate (辐射) heat into the cold universe, even under direct sunlight, and how to connect them with temperature-driven air exchanges (that is, air can enter buildings and circulate freely). These cool radiator materials and coatings are often used to stop roofs overheating. Researchers have also used them to improve heat rejection from coolers. But there is untapped potential for mixing them with architectural design more fully, so they can not only reject indoor heat in a passive way, but also drive regular and healthy air changes.
“We found we could keep air temperatures several degrees below the ordinary
temperature, and several degrees more below the reference ‘gold standard’ for passive cooling,” said Remy Fortin, lead author and PhD candidate at the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture. “We did this without abandoning a healthy airing.” This was never a piece of cake, considering air exchanges are a source of heat when the aim is to keep a room cooler than the outside.
The researchers hope the findings will be used to positively impact communities suffering from dangerous climate heating and heat. “We hope that materials scientists, architects, and engineers will be interested in these results, and that our work will inspire more thorough thinking about how to connect breakthroughs in radiative cooling materials with simple but effective architectural solutions,” said Salmaan Craig, main investigator for the project and assistant professor at the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture. 12．What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Monitor.
B. Relieve.
C. Control.
D. Predict.
13．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The effects of airing. C. The process of the research.
B. The findings of the study. D. The function of cool radiators.
14．What challenge did the researchers face according to Remy Fortin? A. Guaranteeing the room a good airing. B. Reaching the reference gold standard. C. Keeping the house cool without power. D. Combining passive cooling with air exchange.
15．What do the researchers desire to do with their findings? A. Raise public awareness of cooling materials. B. Appeal for stricter limits on greenhouse gases. C. Improve humans’ living environments worldwide. D. Strengthen materials science’s use in architecture.
二、七选五
16． Cultural intelligence, or cultural quotient (CQ) is the ability to manage cultural diversity. ①_____It also involves understanding and appreciating cultural differences and being able to adapt to those differences.
②_____ For one thing, it can help you avoid misunderstandings and communication breakdowns with people from other cultures. For another, it enables you to build strong relationships with them. Want to improve your CQ? Try the following tips.
If you're unfamiliar with the culture, chances are you're not going to adapt well to it. So the first practical aspect of CQ you need to improve is your CQ drive. ③_____ This drive is the first step towards higher CQ that may help you be open to new possibilities. All you have to do is explore the new situation you find yourself in.
After you've motivated yourself to get a bit more familiar with the culture, it's time to go one step further. ④_____ Of course, this doesn't mean you need to become an expert in the said culture. Simply, you should try to get to know the ways in which that culture forms and influences its people's values and behavior.
Lastly, you need to use what you have learned and come up with a strategy that will help you improve your CQ. You can expose yourself to various media. This is a useful and easily accessible way to learn about how culture affects behavior. Again, it helps if you learn the language of the culture. This may open a whole new world for you. ⑤_____ A. You should broaden your CQ knowledge. B. There are many benefits of having high CQ. C. To be culturally intelligent is no easy matter.
D. This means your motivation to learn about a different culture. E. Seek out opportunities to interact with people from other cultures. F. This ability is not limited to your cultural sensitivity and awareness. G. It can help you better understand people from other cultures as well.

44．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Grandma Rosie was the heart of our family. Her little two-bedroom home was truly where all her children and grandchildren gathered. She was also an amazing cook and her specialty was fried pork steak. Most of my nephews and nieces were fans of her specialty. She lived alone after my grandpa passed away but was cared by many relatives and friends. When she was in her late 60s, we began to witness a significant memory impairment (受损) in her. Everyone started checking up on her. A frequent question that people would ask her, “What did you have for dinner?”, almost always brought the same answer — fried pork steak. Every day she would report making fried pork steak. One day a group of us went to her house secretly, and found she was making fried pork steak!
After some lengthy consideration, our family were concerned for her condition and ultimately decided to place Rosie in a group home in Brookfield. A year later, Rosie caught heart disease and her condition required her to be moved to a nursing home in Oconomowoc. Her memory also declined sharply and she no longer remembered our names. It was heartbreaking for our family to know that.
By that time, I was in high school and thinking about plans for college. My first visit to the nursing home left me a great impression. Seeing the cold, sterile (呆板的) long hallways and unfriendly surroundings in the nursing home, I was determined to become a professional architect concentrating on senior care and health care design. I wanted to design living space where seniors can not only live but benefit from lovely environments.

Knowing the column “Campus Life” will be removed from our school English newspaper, I can’t agree with the idea.
As a regular reader, I think the column “Campus Life” is one of the best columns of our school English newspaper. As you know, we high school students are burdened with too much homework, feeling tired and dull. The interesting stories of the column can relieve our stress and lift our spirits. Moreover, the column can not only broaden our horizons but help us build closer ties among students.
I hope you will take my advice into account. Wish our school English newspaper more and more popular.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
44．答案： Paragraph 1:
Bearing this goal in mind, I worked extremely hard. My efforts paid off and I was admitted into Columbia University. I dedicated myself to understanding the needs and challenges of senior care and health care design. I conducted extensive research and visited various senior living facilities. After graduation, I got the opportunity to work for a famed firm specializing in senior living communities. It was a dream come true. I have poured my heart and soul into designing spaces that would promote a sense of comfort, dignity, and well-being for seniors since then.
Paragraph 2:
Finally, Grandma Rosie moved into a senior living community I designed. Visiting her there was an emotional experience. The atmosphere looked inviting and homelike, which was a striking contrast with the cold and sterile environment I witnessed years ago. Grandma Rosie seemed happier and more at ease after living there. She even engaged in art classes, enjoying the company of her newfound friends. Seeing the positive change in Grandma Rosie’s life fueled my passion even more and strengthened my commitment to creating spaces that value the well-being and happiness of the elderly population.
