“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine—combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.
Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.”
24. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him?
A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude
25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?
A. He was trained in it at university.
B. He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C. He benefited from it as a patient.
D. He wanted to save money for pet owners.
26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment.
B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work.
C. Examples of rare animal diseases.
D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine.
27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?
A. To prove Farber’s point.
B. To emphasize its importance.
C. To praise veterinarians.
D. To advocate animal protection.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了William Farber博士在兽医界使用针灸和其他非传统治疗方法治疗动物的经历。文章通过他的个人经历、对针灸的看法以及治疗效果的实例,展示了整体医学(holistic medicine)在兽医领域的潜力和应用。
24. A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.”可知,Farber的一些同事认为他的方法不同寻常,可能认为他有些古怪,unusual与odd为同义替换。故选A。
25. C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain...Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients.”可推知,Farber博士用针灸治好了自己很严重的腰痛,自己从针灸中受了益,因此他决定在宠物身上尝试。故选C。
26. D 段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知,本段提到了两个案例,分别是Leigh Tindale的狗Charlie在针灸治疗后病情缓解,以及Priscilla Dewing的马Nappy在按摩治疗后行动更自如,这些说明了整体医学(holistic medicine)的有效性。故选D。
27. A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right可知,本段开头介绍Farber博士的论点:整体医学将会越来越受欢迎。结合后文中的“Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700.”可推知,后文用列举数据来证明Farber博士的观点。故选A。
C

https://theconversation.com/why-we-remember-more-by-reading-especially-print-than-from-audio-or-video-159522
Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper? And are listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same material? The answers to both questions are often “no.” The reasons relate to a variety of factors, including reduced concentration, an entertainment mindset (心态) and a tendency to multitask while consuming digital content.
When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it’s on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding. The benefits of print reading particularly shine through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks—like identifying the main idea in a reading passage—to ones that require mental abstraction—such as drawing inferences from a text.
The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper’s physical properties. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.
But equally important is the mental aspect. Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis (假说).” According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print.
Audio (音频) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies—say, assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person. However, psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories, they remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces.
Digital texts, audio and video all have educational roles, especially when providing resources not available in print. However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn’t assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words.
28. What does the underlined phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Seem unlikely to last. B. Seem hard to explain.
C. Become ready to use. D. Become easy to notice.
29. What does the shallowing hypothesis assume?
A. Readers treat digital texts lightly.
B. Digital texts are simpler to understand.
C. People select digital texts randomly.
D. Digital texts are suitable for social media.
30. Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers?
A. They can hold students’ attention.
B. They are more convenient to prepare.
C. They help develop advanced skills.
D. They are more informative than text.
31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Students should apply multiple learning techniques.
B. Teachers should produce their own teaching material.
C. Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education.
D. Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了在阅读方面,纸质书相比电子书、音频、视频,在信息的吸收、专注度、参与度方面都要胜出不少。为了支撑这个论点,作者用了很多理论和实证来证明自己的观点。
28. D 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it’s on paper than on screen.”可知,前面的核心论点是当阅读字数较多时,纸质书相比电子屏幕在习得感方面更胜一筹。即当实验者把任务从易到难推进的时候,我们会发现纸质书的优势更加明显,因此画线词意为“(纸质书的优势)更容易被人注意到”。选D。
29. A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print.”可知,人们在对待电子文本时,他们的态度类似于对待社交媒体,不太严肃,且脑力投入相比阅读纸质材料要更少,因此他们没有严肃对待电子文本。take sth lightly不严肃对待某物。故选A。
30. A 细节理解题。根据第五段中的Audio(音频) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies可知,音频和视频相比文本来说更加让人投入,所以大学老师抓准了音频和视频的这点优势,在课堂上越来越青睐它们。engaging 让人投入的;吸引人的。选A。
31. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn’t assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words.”可推知,作者认为媒介带来的教育效果并不一样,而且,本文的中心是说纸质书在学习效果方面相比视频和音频更加明显,所以纸质文本不能完全在教育中被电子媒介所代替。故选C。

https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2023/05/study-examines-biases-coverage-gaps-biodiversity-data
In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct, researchers and citizen scientists have collected billions of records. Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area, a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.
“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observations of different species with the aid of a mobile application,” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens (标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable?”
Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.
“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,” said Daru.
Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage. Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features.
What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity?
“Quite a lot,” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places—and even species—that are not well-sampled. To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”
32. What do we know about the records of species collected now?
A. They are becoming outdated.
B. They are mostly in electronic form.
C. They are limited in number.
D. They are used for public exhibition.
33. What does Daru’s study focus on?
A. Threatened species.
B. Physical specimens.
C. Observational data.
D. Mobile applications.
34. What has led to the biases according to the study?
A. Mistakes in data analysis.
B. Poor quality of uploaded pictures.
C. Improper way of sampling.
D. Unreliable data collection devices.
35. What is Daru’s suggestion for biodiversity apps?
A. Review data from certain areas.
B. Hire experts to check the records.
C. Confirm the identity of the users.
D. Give guidance to citizen scientists.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在记录生态多样性方面,大部分记录都是以照片、视频、或者其他电子媒介的方式记录,他们相比实体标本来说真的靠谱吗?答案是否定的。本文仔细剖析了这些电子记录不靠谱的原因和弥补方案。
32. B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos and other digital records.”可知,目前标本收集记录主要以电子版的形式为主。故选B。
33. C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens(标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable?”及第三段中的Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns可知,Daru的研究主要聚焦于这些观察性数据是不是可以代表实际的全球生物多样性背后的规律,因此,其研究聚焦点是观察性数据。故选C。
34. C 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知,本段主要介绍Daru的研究团队在探索公民科学家们(参与数据收集等的普通民众)在取样方面的偏差。结合第五段中的“These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features.”可推知,公民科学家们采集的数据会更加偏向引人注目的特征,而忽略了不怎么引人注目的特征,所以公民科学家们的采样方式可能会有问题。故选C。
35. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”可推知,采样的用户可以征求专家的意见,来核实他们上传图片的真实身份,即专家可以给公民科学家们一些指导。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it’s vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿), 36 No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus (同义词词典). I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker. 37 Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I’m old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.
38 It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.
In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it’s not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. 39 However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there’s nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. “To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work,” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of “dull”. 40 A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.
A. I don’t often use this dictionary.
B. It takes no account of the context.
C. But I still don’t want to replace them.
D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G. Dictionaries don’t always give you enough information.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了纸质字典不仅仅在检查拼写方面权威,同时在检查词源、区分同义词、发音方面会给出很多详细的信息。同时,作者觉得闲暇时间阅读几页字典是非常值得的体验。
36. F 考查解释关系。根据设空处前文中的“Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it’s vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript(原稿)”可知,前文主要介绍作者提交一份拼写正确,完美且专业呈现的原稿对于出版的重要性。结合后文中的“No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.”可知,后文进一步强调稿件无拼写错误的重要性。因此,设空处应承上启下,继续介绍相关内容。F项“That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.(那意味着语法和拼写均无错误。)”与前文构成解释关系。选项中的that指代前文中的to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript这件事。故选F。
37. B 考查因果关系。根据设空处前文中的“I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus(同义词词典). I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker.”可知,作者对于自己电脑中的拼写检测器不信任,宁愿用纸质词典。B项“It takes no account of the context.(它不考虑上下文。)”与前文构成因果关系,解释作者为什么不用拼写检测器的原因。故选B。
38. E 考查递进关系。根据前文内容可知,词典可以帮助我们校对拼写错误。结合本段后文“It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.”可知,后文主要介绍词典的其他作用:给出单词的精确定义和展示单词的发音。因此,设空处应承上启下,引出后文。E项“Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.(当然,词典不仅仅可以帮助校对拼写。)”与前文构成递进关系,符合文意。故选E。
39. A 考查转折关系。根据设空处后文中的“However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there’s nothing better.”可知,没有什么东西比这个纸质字典更好的了,可以推断出however后面是好的含义,那么however前面是坏的逻辑,或者是一个贬义的句子。A项“I don’t often use this dictionary.(我不经常使用这本词典。)”,承接前文内容,这本词典页数很多,收录的词也很多,显得有点笨重,所以“我”不经常使用。但如果“我”要查一个单词的词源或者查它的用法方面的例句,没有什么比这个字典更好的了。A选项在褒贬和转折逻辑方面与原文完美契合。故选A。
40. D 考查转折关系。根据设空处前文中的“‘To make dictionaries is dull(乏味) work.’ wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of ‘dull’.”可知,Samuel Johnson在编写字典时,吐槽编写字典是最无聊的经历。结合后文“A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.”可知,后文主要介绍从褒义的角度肯定浏览词典上的内容是有意义的体验。因此,空格处应该填写一个褒义的句子,与前文中的dull这个贬义词形成对比。D项“But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.(但词典读起来是一种享受。)”与前文构成转折关系,符合语境。故选D。

题源:https://budgettraveller.org/meet-gunter-the-best-taxi-driver-in-vienna-austria/
I met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn’t heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. “We made it,” he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: “Out of order. Sorry.”

一、应用文
Dear Chris,
I’m writing to share with you an art class I had in a park last Friday. You cannot imagine how meaningful and interesting it was!
We were tasked to draw something that impressed us most. Inspired by the fantastic scenery, I decided to create a watercolor painting of the small bridge over the park’s pond, surrounded by blooming flowers.
Being surrounded by nature not only inspired my creativity, but also offered a much-needed break from the usual busy school life. I felt a deep sense of peace as I painted. It was a moment of connection with nature that I truly cherished.
Yours,
Li Hua
二、读后续写
Para 1
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. “Sorry, I can’t take cash out.” I said embarrassedly, with my face burning. Hearing my words, Gunter replied with the familiar smile on his face, “That’s OK, just go ahead, you can pay me at your convenience.” So surprised and moved was I that I couldn’t say a word out. I took out my notebook, asked Gunter’s number and wrote it down hurriedly, promising I would call him back. Then I made a mad run for the bus and left.
Para 2
Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. The moment Gunter picked up the phone, he seemed to know I was going to call. “I know it’s you.” he said softly. As we met the following day at the departure place, I expressed my great gratitude to him. I paid him back and offered an extra $10 tip, however, he refused the tip, saying “It is not a big deal.” Suddenly, a warm current washed over me. It was at that time that I felt blessed to have met such a warm-hearted man like Gunter who has a heart of gold.

M: Yeah, how beautiful! It’s been popular for almost two decades.
Text 3
W: David, forget about Mark. His aunt is in town. So he can’t go with us today.
M: Ah, what a pity! It’s the last day of the art show.
Text 4
W: How may I help you?
M: I bought a desk and asked for it to be delivered to my house this Friday.
W: Yes. What’s the problem?
M: I need to have it delivered this Saturday.
Text 5
W: Next please.
M: Oh, hi. I missed my 9:00 train to Bedford. Do I have to buy another ticket?

M: Thank you.

W: ⑥Honey, have you checked today’s weather forecast?
M: ⑥Yes, it’s cold and wet. There’s a warning for strong winds up to 100 kilometers per hour.
W: What are we going to do then?
M: Nothing much. Just stay indoors. There is a risk of falling trees and power lines.
W: Right.
M: ⑥And the low temperatures could bring snow to the forest area.
W: I hope it’s over quickly.
M: Well, it won’t get better until late Wednesday. ⑦Anyway, I have to move the car away from the trees.

M: Yeah, I understand. ⑨How are Jeff and the children?
W: ⑨Jeff is doing well with his new job. Tom has made many new friends here and has a lot to do. Fiona is fine, though she misses her grandma. ⑩By the way, thank you for looking in on my mother from time to time. I call her every week, but it isn’t the same as seeing her.

W: ⑪Jack, how did you get to school when you were in primary school?
M: ⑪I lived close to my school, so I walked every day. Why?
W: Well, I remember that when we were kids, we often walked, rode a bike or caught the bus to school. Few of us were dropped off at the school gate by our parents.
M: I see what you mean. ⑫These days, you can see traffic jams around schools at drop-off and pick-up times, but it’s hard to blame the parents. They have good reasons for driving their kids to school, mostly to do with safety and convenience.
W: You have a point there, but it could also mean children are missing out on much-needed exercise and other life skills. ⑬Some parents are just being overprotective with their children learning nothing but living in fear of everything. Studies have found that children who spend more time outside tend to be healthier, better adjusted and better at dealing with stress.

M: I know you grow lots of fruit on your land. ⑮Which would you recommend to beginners as the best to grow?
W: ⑮Strawberries would be a good choice. They produce a lot of fruit in their first season.

W: Next season, I will be adding some pear trees to the fruit area. I will be adding more herbs, which I can use in the kitchen. ⑯And after a couple of years of failure, I will try growing carrots again.
M: ⑰What advice would you offer someone thinking of doing kitchen gardening?
W: ⑰Have a plan of what you want your kitchen garden to look like. Don’t be too discouraged if things don’t go according to plan. Learn from your mistakes and move on. There is always next season.
