“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.
C
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.
D
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.

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.

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。
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.”
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右。
（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news.
Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised.

21. C 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Help restore and protect Marin’s natural areas from the Marin Headlands to Bolinas Ridge. We’ll explore beautiful park sites ...”可知，生物栖息地修复工作队的目标是帮助恢复并保护从马林角地（Marin Headlands）到博利纳斯岭（Bolinas Ridge）的马林县（Marin）自然区域。故选C。
22. B 细节理解题。根据AGE, SKILLS, WHAT TO BRING部分中的“Volunteers aged 10 and over are welcome.”可知，参与生物栖息地修复工作队的最低年龄要求为10岁。故选B。
23. B 细节理解题。根据AGE, SKILLS, WHAT TO BRING部分中的“We’ll be working rain or shine.”可知，志愿者们的工作无畏风雨，始终坚守。故选B。
B
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一名外国兽医借鉴中医技术，通过针灸帮助动物治疗的故事。
24. A 观点态度题。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的同事嘲笑他用这种异乎寻常的方法。由此推知，在Farber的同事看来，Farber是古怪的。odd“奇怪的；怪异的；反常的”。故选A。
25. C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的内容尤其是“What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients.”可知，Farber基于自己背疼在接受针灸治疗后显著缓解的亲身经历，深信这一方法对他的病人（动物）也同样有效。因此，他打算通过针灸帮助动物治疗。故选C。
26. D 段落大意题。根据第三段中的“Leigh Tindale’s dog”以及“And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy”的治疗经历可知，第三段通过举例说明了这种中西医相结合的整体疗法的功效。故选D。
27. A 目的意图题。根据最后一段中的“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”可知，作者通过引用美国整体兽医协会日益增长的会员人数作为实证，有力地支持了Farber的观点，即整体方法在未来将愈发受到青睐和欢迎。故选A。
C
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了纸质阅读与数字阅读在学习效果上的差异。尽管数字内容在教育领域扮演着重要角色，但纸质阅读在需要深度理解和精神集中的学习活动中仍然占据优势。
28. D 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“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.”可知，本段的核心论点是在阅读好几百字材料的时候，我们发现纸质书相比电子屏幕，在习得感方面纸质书更胜一筹，有很多研究证实了这一点。再根据“The benefits of print reading particularly shine through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks ... to ones that require mental abstraction”（当实验者从布置简单的任务转向需要心智抽象的任务时，纸质阅读的优点特别明显。）可知，“shine through”在这里的意思是“变得容易注意到”。故选D。
29. A 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“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，浅化假设认为读者对待数字文本的态度较为轻率，不如阅读纸质文本时投入的心理努力多。即他们没有严肃对待电子文本，不严肃对待是“take sth lightly”。故选A。
30. A 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Audio (音频) and video can feel more engaging than text”可知，音频和视频比文本更吸引人。下文提到大学教师越来越多地使用这些技术，在课堂上越来越青睐它们。这表明教师使用音频和视频是因为它们能吸引学生的注意力。故选A。
31. C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“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.”可知，在需要精神集中和反思以最大化学习的地方，教育工作者不应该认为所有的媒体都是一样的，即使它们包含相同的文字。这表明在教育领域中，纸质文本不能被完全替代。故选C。
D
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了斯坦福大学的专家发现上传生物样本数据的方式（电子媒介或拍照）有局限，这些观测数据存在偏差，并提出了改善建议。
32. B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records.”可知，现在收集的大部分生物多样性记录都是照片、视频和其他数字记录的形式，即主要是电子版的形式。故选B。
33. C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“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?”（这些观测数据现在超过了来自物理标本的主要数据，并且我们越来越多地使用观测数据来研究物种如何对全球变化作出反应。我想知道：这些数据是否可用？）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。所以Daru的研究聚焦点是观察性数据。故选C。
34. C 推理判断题。根据文章第四段可知，Daru特别感兴趣的是采样中可能导致数据偏差的方面，比如网民们会因为花比草更加显眼而拍花，而不是拍草；以及第五段最后一句话“These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features.”（这些数据也偏向于具有吸引力或引人注目的特征的某些物种。）可知，导致偏差的原因是采样方式不当。故选C。
35. D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”可知，采样的用户可以征求专家的意见，以来核实他们上传图片的真实身份，也就是说专家可以给网民科学家一些指导。故选D。
第二节
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲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 空前说“如果你想让自己的作品发表，提交一份完美的、专业的手稿是至关重要的。”空后说“没有哪个编辑会容忍一个不愿花心思拼写正确单词的作家。”根据上下文语境可推知，F项“That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.”符合语境，该句中的That指代上文提到的“submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿)”这件事，进一步指出完美无瑕的原稿意味着语法正确且没有拼写错误。同时，该句中的“no spelling mistakes”呼应下文中的“spell words correctly”。故选F。
37. B 空前说“我不信任自己电脑中的拼写检测器”。根据上文语境可推知，空处应是解释作者不信任自己电脑中的拼写检测器的原因。B项“It takes no account of the context.（它不会考虑上下文。）”符合语境，It指代上文提到的“my laptop’s spellchecker”。故选B。
38. E 空后说“它应该给出每个单词的精确定义，从而将其与其他含义相近但不同的单词区分开来。它通常还会展示单词的发音。”根据空后句意可推知，空处应和下文构成并列且递进的关系。E项“Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.”符合语境，这句话既是对上文提到的字典功能的一个补充，说明字典不仅仅是用来检查拼写的，还和下文介绍字典功能的内容构成并列递进关系。故选E。
39. A 空后说“但是，如果我需要检查一个单词的起源或查找其用法示例，没有什么比这更好的了”，也就是说，作者有必要的时候，还是要用到这个字典的。另外，根据空后的However可推知，空处和下文是转折关系。因此A项“I don’t often use this dictionary.（我并不经常使用这个字典。）”符合语境。故选A。
40. D 通读最后一段可知，空前提到Samuel Johnson吐槽编写字典是最无聊的经历；空后说“花几分钟的时间浏览一两页可能是一种有益的体验。”根据上下文语境可推知，空处应和上文构成对比关系，说明尽管编写字典是一项乏味的工作，但阅读字典却可以是一种享受，因此D项“But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.”符合语境。该选项中的“a pleasure”和上文的“dull work”形成对比，同时呼应下文的“a rewarding experience”。故选D。

第四部分 写作
第一节
参考范文：
Dear Chris,
I’m writing to share with you an art class I had in a park last Friday. I chose to paint a landscape featuring a calm lake surrounded by vibrant flowers and solemn trees. The sunlight and the gentle breeze made the whole scene come to life. It was incredibly inspiring to be surrounded by nature. I felt a sense of peace and relaxation while painting outdoors, which was a completely different experience from our traditional classroom setting. Overall, the exciting experience gave me a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it and hope we can have more classes like this in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
参考范文：
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. He looked at me in disbelief, asking me what to do. Giving him another apologetic smile, I asked him for a delay in payment and promised to call him and pay him back the money I owed him. To my surprise, Gunter wrote down his phone number without hesitation and gave it to me. “Just keep your promise, Sir.” A feeling of gratitude washed over me. I gave him a firm handshake, jumped out of the car and made a mad dash for the bus and jumped onto it just before it left.
Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. We met at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before. As soon as I saw him, I gave him a big hug. I told him that thanks to his kindness and timely help, everything had gone smoothly. I paid him for the ride, along with a generous tip, which he declined. I felt blessed to have met such a warm-hearted man. After that, we became good friends and kept in touch with each other regularly.

M: Thanks for the wonderful weekend, Kate.
W: That’s okay. Bob and I are glad you came to see us.
M: Oh, I have to go in. My flight will take off soon. Do contact me when you’re in Sydney.
W: Sure, we will.
Text 2
W: Paul, listen to the radio. It’s You’ve Stolen My Heart — one of the songs played at our wedding.
M: Yeah, how beautiful! It has 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: Aw ..., 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 o’clock train to Bedford. Do I have to buy another ticket?
W: No. The next train leaves at a quarter to ten at Platform 11.
M: Thank you.
Text 6
W: Honey, have you checked today’s weather forecast?
M: Yes, it’s cold and wet. There is 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: And 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. Anyway, I have to move the car away from the trees.
W: Yeah, you cannot be too careful.
Text 7
W: Hello, Dave. This is Kathy from Sunny California.
M: Hi, Kathy. You finally called. How was the move? All settled in?
W: Sorry, I hadn’t called sooner, but it’s been a busy month. We’re slowly getting things set up in our new home.
M: Yeah, I understand. How are Jeff and the children?
W: Jeff 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. By 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.
M: No problem. Betty and I are friends now. How is the weather there?
W: It’s nice and warm. And we are able to spend some time every week on the beach with the children.
M: That’s great.
Text 8
W: Jack, how did you get to school when you were in primary school?
M: I 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. These 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. Some 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.
Text 9
M: So, Marie, your kitchen garden looks excellent. What made you turn to social media to record your vegetable growing?
W: Initially, I used the online platform as a diary, something to look back on, giving me a sense of achievement and keeping me motivated and moving forward. As time went by, other gardeners and like-minded people began to follow my progress, too.
M: I know you grow lots of fruit on your land. Which would you recommend to beginners as the best to grow?
W: Strawberries would be a good choice. They produce a lot of fruit in their first season.
M: That’s cool. Well, do you have plans to try new or any particular crops next year?
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. And, after a couple of years of failure, I will try growing carrots again.
M: What advice would you offer someone thinking of doing kitchen gardening?
W: Have 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’s always next season.
