18、or pleasure. A sense of curiosity directed me and I started to see dictionaries as field guides to the life of language. Looking up words felt less like a failing than an admission that there are lots of things I dont know and an opportunity to discover just how many. I prize my 1954 copy of Webster

19、s New International Dictionary, Second Edition. I often consult it, during evening games of Scrabble or midday magazine reading. When I come across unfamiliar words while reading novels, I look them up. When I start encountering these words elsewhere, the linguistic (语言的) universe seems to shrink to

20、 the size of a small town. Dictionaries heighten my senses: They direct my attention into a conversation with language. They make me wonder what other things Im blind to because I havent taught myself to notice them yet. Recently spotted examples include orrery, “a mechanical model, usually clockwor

21、k, devised to represent the motions of the moon and Earth (and sometimes also other planets) around the sun.” The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) also tells me that the word comes from the fourth Earl of Orrery, for whom a copy of the first machine was made, around 1700. Useful? Obviously not. Satis

22、fying? Deeply. Wikipedia and Google answer questions with more questions, opening up pages you never asked for. But a dictionary builds on common knowledge, using simple words to explain complex ones. Using one feels as if Im prying open an oyster(蚝) rather than falling down a rabbit hole. Why leave

23、 solvable mysteries up to guesswork? For me, dictionaries are a door into that kind of uncalculated knowledge-seeking. They remind me that following your curiosity instead of brushing it aside is one of the best ways I know to feel connected to more than whats right in front of you.24. What can we k

24、now about the author?A. He merely read for fun before graduation. B. He longed to learn about all knowledge. C. He considered dictionaries chances of enrichment. D. He admitted being a failure when learning languages. 25. Why does the author mention the example of orrery in paragraph 3?A. To introdu

25、ce a word. B. To indicate a finding. C. To clarify a concept.D. To support a statement.26. What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Encountering new problems.B. Entering a different world. C. Acquiring essential common sense. D. Simplifying tough questions.27. According to the passag

26、e, which of the following can best describe dictionaries?A. Jaw-dropping. B. Eye-opening. C. Mind-numbing. D. Labour-saving. CIn 1986, King Charles suggested talking to plants, a thought initially mocked but now supported by evidence that plants can detect, react to, and potentially produce sound. S

27、ince plants have been evolving alongside the insects for hundreds of millions of years, Heidi Appel, a botanist and Reginald Cocroft, an entomologist wondered if plants might be sensitive to the sounds made by insects. The researchers recorded the vibrations(声音震动) from caterpillars(毛虫) as they chewe

28、d on leaves. Then the plants were exposed to the recorded vibrations while no caterpillars were actually present. The results were striking. Leaves that had been exposed had significantly higher levels of defensive chemicals, making them much harder for the caterpillars to eat. The research may have

29、 practical consequences, such as using drones armed with speakers to warn crops of pest threats, offering an eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides.Further studies by ecologist Monica Gagliano reveal that plants, like pea plants, can “hear” water through sound, with roots responding to wate

30、r-related vibrations even when the water is inaccessible. This finding could have implications for preventing damage to sewer (下水道) systems caused by plant roots. The assumption had been that it was leaks that attracted the roots. The solution, she says, might be to invest in pipes that are silent a

31、s water runs through them. Additionally, the study by the team at Tel Aviv University revealed that plants under stress, due to factors like insufficient water or physical damage, make high-frequency sounds, which can be detected even in noisy environments. This opens possibilities for using microph

32、ones to monitor plant health in agriculture, potentially aiding farmers in identifying and addressing crop issues.Despite some questions remaining to be solved, these fascinating discoveries cast new light on plants ability to perceive and respond to sounds in their environment. Plants live in a wor

33、ld full of sounds due to human civilization, and it is worth investigating this interesting aspect. Perhaps researchers might even seek funding from King Charles.28. What was the original reaction to King Charless suggestion?A. Ambiguous. B. Favourable. C. Indifferent. D. Opposed.29. What practical

34、result may the research by Heidi and Reginald lead to?A. Introducing drones with speakers to farmers.B. Applying chemicals to enhance plant growth.C. Stimulating plants to release anti-pest chemicals.D. Developing new types of protective pesticides.30. Why is employing silent pipes suggested?A. To r

35、educe noise pollution.B. To protect sewer systems.C. To improve water transportation.D. To attract plant roots to accessible water.31. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D.P: paragraphDThe news is everywhere. We cant stop constantly checking it on our computer screen

36、s, but what is this doing to our minds? The news is committed to laying before us whatever is supposed to be most unusual and important in the world: a snowfall in the tropics; a love child for the president; a set of conjoined(连体的) twins. The news knows how to operate its own mechanics almost invis

37、ible and therefore hard to question. It speaks to us in a natural unaccented voice, without reference to its own perspective. It fails to disclose that it does not merely report on the world, but is instead constantly at work crafting a new planet in our minds in line with its own often highly disti

38、nctive priorities. Why do we, the audience, keep checking the news? Fear has a lot to do with it. After even a short period of being cut off from news, our anxiety has a habit of building up. We know how much is likely to go wrong and how fast: an A380 may have its fuel line cracked and crash into t

39、he bay in flames, a virus from an African bat may leap the species barrier and enter a crowded Japanese commuter train, investors may pose a run on the currency and yet another seemingly ordinary father may call a violent end to the lives of his two beautiful young children. The hum and rush of the

40、news have flowed into our deepest selves. What an achievement a moment of calm now is, what a miracle the ability to fall asleep or to talk undistracted with a friend and what demanding discipline would be required to make us turn away from the messy news and listen for a day to nothing but the rain

41、 and our own thoughts. We may need some help with what the news is doing to us: with the envy and the terror, with the excitement and the frustration; with all that weve been told and yet occasionally suspect we may be better off never having learned.32. What does news offer us according to the pass

42、age?A. Its operating system.B. Its preferred world.C. Normal happenings worldwide.D. Objective points of view.33. People keep checking news because they are_.A. worried about losing contact with updates.B. anxious about building up a habit.C. curious about an African virus in Japan.D. interested in

43、strangers extraordinary lives.34. Which of the following statements will the writer approve of?A. Talking with a friend is remarkable.B. Listening to natural songs is absolutely impossible.C. Preventing envy and terror is realistic.D. Staying clear of the media is beneficial.35. Whats the main idea

44、of the passage?A. News is transforming our lifestyle secretly.B. News is becoming a users manual.C. News is filling us with growing fear.D. News is enriching our life dramatically.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tai Chi, a gentle martial art originating from China a

45、nd involving slow movements with a focus on breathing and on what your body is doing in that moment, provides numerous benefits for both physical and mental well-being. Here are five convincing reasons to bring Tai Chi into your routine. Its easy on the body. Tai Chi offers gentle exercise suitable

46、for individuals of all ages and fitness levels. 36 , as muscles remain relaxed without any stretching or straining. Its an exercise that can be easily adapted for less able people, including those in wheelchairs. It could prevent falls. A review of studies conducted in 2019 indicated that Tai Chi co

47、uld lower the risk of falls among older people.
