  解析

• 2．It's the near future.Animal populations have fallen sharply and 80% of species are extinct.The forests are so rare that you need to make a booking to visit one.Birds also face extinction.The Arctic terns，a species evolved to fly across the world on 4000km annual journeys，are on their last migration to Antarctica.
     The Last Migration by the Sydney-based writer Charlotte McConaghy is a different sort of climate novel，one in which the heroine's （女主人公） damaged soul is as much a story as the damaged environment.
     This is McConaghy's first work of literary fiction，after a history publishing in science fiction and a romantic fantasy series.
     "I wanted to try and engage with the climate crisis closely， "she said. "It's hard to nail down where the book came from.But I had Toni Morrison's words in my head： 'If there's a book you really want to read，but it hasn't been written yet，then you must write it. ' I love that.It really speaks to me. "
     "I wanted to write about the way the natural world is disappearing but I didn't know a way in. "
     The way in，she says，was to "go travelling.I went to Ireland and Iceland，and thought about these incredible journeys of the terns and these people who study these journeys. "
     The book became a story of a double journey：the migration of the birds，and a broken woman's travelling to the end of the earth.
     Much of the book is told in flashbacks，the action jumping between the south coast of New South Wales to the west coast of Ireland and to Greenland.
     "I've always been fascinated with Ireland：the landscape，the people and the poetry and music.I was fascinated with writing a character from there.It was a way to connect more with the place. "
     McConaghy says she also wanted to have a character who was "of two places" "I had lived in 21 houses by the time I was 21，and as a result I definitely know how it feels to feel as if you are not sure where you belong and feeling as if you are between two worlds. "
  
  （1）How is The Last Migration different from other climate novels？

  
  A．It forecasts environmental destruction.
  B．It features a bird's cross-continental migration.
  C．It combines science fiction well with romantic fantasy.
  D．It attaches equal importance to the heroine's broken soul.
  （2）What did McConaghy think of Toni Morrison's words？

  
  A．Casual.
  B．One-sided.
  C．Inspirational.
  D．Authoritative.
  （3）Why did McConaghy go travelling？

  
  A．To find ideas for her new book.
  B．To get away from her tiresome life.
  C．To follow the migration of the birds.
  D．To appreciate the landscape of Ireland.
  （4）How might a character of two places feel？

  
  A．Content and carefree.
  B．Lacking in a sense of belonging.
  C．More connected with nature.
  D．Knowledgeable about the world.

• 3．Babies who frequently communicate with their caregivers using eye contact and vocalizations （發(fā)聲） at the age of one are more likely to develop greater languages skills by the time they reach two，according to new research.
     In the study，researchers looked at 11 and 12-month-old babies' vocalizations，gestures and gaze behaviours，and at how their caregivers responded to them.To measure the interactions，the researchers videoed infants （嬰兒） and caregiver at home，and asked them to play as usual.They took those recordings back to the university.
     The scientists then used statistical models to find that the best predictor of vocabulary at 24 months was when infants were seen to use vocalizations while looking at their caregiver's face when they were about a year old.The benefits were even greater when these interactions were followed by responses from the caregiver.
     The statistics showed that at 19 months，children had an average of about 100 words.Those who exhibited the beneficial interactive behaviour earlier in life were seen to have an average of about 30 extra words.
     "The message of this paper is that it is the result of a joint effort，noticing what your child is attending to and talking to them about it will support their language development. " said McGillion，a co-author of the work.
     "The joy of this message is that that can happen in any context...across any part of your day.It's not something that requires special equipment or even lots of time.It can happen when you're doing the laundry，for example--when you're taking out the socks，you can talk about socks..in the park，in the car，at mealtimes，at bath times.This finding can be used in any context， "added McGillion.
     "This is a developmental snapshot in the first year of life，but children are constantly growing and changing and so are their behaviours.It would be interesting to look at these sorts of behaviours again as children progress through the second year of life to see what's happening there， " said Donnellan，the lead author on the study.
  
  （1）How did the researchers get the findings？

  
  A．By interacting with babies.
  B．By asking babies to vocalize.
  C．By analyzing relevant recordings.
  D．By referring to the previous statistics.
  （2）What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 5 mean？

  
  A．Infants' eye contact.
  B．The response from caregivers.
  C．Infants' larger vocabulary.
  D．The best predictor of vocabulary.
  （3）What did McGilion say about infants' interactive behaviour？

  
  A．It's difficult to copy.
  B．It's easy to perform.
  C．It's interesting to video.
  D．It's complex to understand.
  （4）What might further studies be on？

  
  A．Children's academic progress.
  B．Children's growing environment.
  C．Children's potential physical development.
  D．Children's behaviours across more age ranges.

• 4．Light pollution is a significant but overlooked driver of the rapid decline of insect populations，according to the most comprehensive review of the scientific evidence to date.Artificial light at night can affect every aspect of insects' lives，the researchers said. "We strongly believe artificial light at night – in combination with habitat loss，chemical pollution，invasive （入侵的） species，and climate change – is driving insect declines，" the scientists concluded after assessing more than 150 studies.
     Insect population collapses have been reported around the world，and the first global scientific review published in February，said widespread declines threatened to cause a "catastrophic collapse of nature's ecosystems".
     There are thought to be millions of insect species，most still unknown to science，and about half are active at night.Those active in the day may also be disturbed by light at night when they are at rest.
     The most familiar impact of light pollution is moths （飛蛾） flapping around a bulb，mistaking it for the moon.Some insects use the polarisation of light to find the water they need to breed，as light waves line up after reflecting from a smooth surface.But artificial light can scupper （使泡湯） this.Insects are important prey（獵物） for many species，but light pollution can tip the balance in favour of the predator if it traps insects around lights.Such increases in predation risk were likely to cause the rapid extinction of affected species，the researchers said.
     The researchers said most human-caused threats to insects have analogues in nature，such as climate change and invasive species.But light pollution is particularly hard for insects to deal with.
     However，unlike other drivers of decline，light pollution is relatively easy to prevent.Simply turning off lights that are not needed is the most obvious action，he said，while making lights motion-activated also cuts light pollution.Shading lights so only the area needed is lit up – is important.It is the same with avoiding blue-white lights，which interfere with daily rhythms.LED lights also offer hope as they can be easily tuned to avoid harmful colours and flicker rates.
  
  （1）What is discussed in the passage？

  
  A．Causes of declining insect populations.
  B．Consequences of insect population collapses.
  C．Light pollution：the key bringer of insect declines.
  D．Insect declines：the driver of the collapsed ecosystem.
  （2）What is the 5th paragraph mainly about？

  
  A．How light travels in space.
  B．How light pollution affects insects.
  C．How light helps insects find food.
  D．How the food chain is interrelated.
  （3）What does the underlined word analogues in Paragraph 5 probably mean？

  
  A．Similar things.
  B．Variations.
  C．Selective things.
  D．Limitations.
  （4）What is the purpose of the last paragraph？

  
  A．To give examples.
  B．To offer solutions.
  C．To make comparisons.
  D．To present arguments.

• 5．In today's increasingly competitive society，people are loaded with a growing amount of jye.ai.Stress can affect how you feel，think，and behave. （1）

  It's worth taking the time to learn different strategies for managing your stress.
     ●Identify the cause.If you are having problems with tense muscles，overtiredness headaches，it is quite possibly stress-related.Is it your job，relationship or something else？Problems can be divided into three categories：those with a practical solution，those that will get better with time and those outside your control. （2）

  
     ●Move your body.Exercise won't cure your stress，but it can help to clean your head.Try something new：yoga may be calming，but there's nothing more thrilling than hitting a punchbag.Don't worsen the stress by drinking and smoking. （3）

  They will only make you feel physically and mentally worse.
     ●（4）

  If you are the kind of person who is open to advice，complain to a friend about your stress.Friends can work as a support group，and they may provide you with solutions.Sometimes，you can't see the easy way out of situation when you are standing right in the middle of it.
     ●Make a list.Having too much to do may cause you to rush around because，if you are moving faster，it feels as if you are getting more done （5）

  Make a to-do list.Do the big important things last，after you have achieved several of the small things.That way，you will approach the big things already feeling good.
  
  A.Talk it through.
  B.Be a good listener.
  C.These aren't solutions.
  D.It pays to try new things.
  E.But this is a false impression.
  F.Focus on the first kind and ignore the others.
  G.It can also impact how your body functions.

• 19．During this past year，I've had three instances of car trouble.Each time these things happened，I was sick of the way most people hadn't bothered to help.One of those times，I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep.I put signs in the windows，big signs that said NEED A JACK （千斤頂），and offered money.Nothing.Right as I was about to give up，a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over，and the father bounded out.
      He sized up the situation and called for his daughter，who spoke English.He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep，so we would need something to support it.Then he got a saw（鋸子）from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road.We rolled it over and put his jack on top，and we were in business.
      I started taking the wheel off，and then，if you can believe it，I broke his tire iron.No worries：He handed it to his wife，and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron.She was back in 15 minutes.We finished the job，and I was a very happy man.
      The two of us were dirty and sweaty.His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands.I tried to put a ﹩20 bill in the man's hand，but he wouldn't take it，so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could.I asked the little girl where they lived.Mexico，she said.They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks.Then they would go home.
