discovered 10 species of ancient mammalspreviously unknown to science with the help of an enormous number of helpers at their dig site:ants.The study of ancient mammals sheds new light on the diversity of mammals that existed in North Americaaround 33 million to 35 million years ago,when the climate was changing drastically.It also pays attentionto the harvester ants,with which researchers have long had a love-hate relationship.The ants are notfantastic when they re biting you,“said Samantha Hopkins,a professor of Earth Sciences at theUniversity of Oregon.But T ve got to appreciate them because they make my job a whole lot easier.vMost species of harvester ants live in subterranean caves that sit beneath a small hill of dirt.Theystrengthen the dirt by covering it with bits of rock and other tough materials.The ants have been known totravel over a hundred feet from their caves and to dig six feet deep in pursuit of materials that help securetheir caves.The materials include fossils.Harvester ants can carry materials 10 times to 50 times theweight of their body,although they do not weigh very much,so the heaviest fossil they can collect weighsless than the average pill.Given the size,harvester ant hills are hot spots for what scientists call microvertebrate（微型脊椎动物）fossils,which are animal fossils too small to see without a microscope.For over a century,scientists likeDr.Hopkins have found sediment（沉积物）off the sides of harvester ant hills in search of these fossils,making it easier to find large numbers of fossilized mammal teeth without spending hours in the fieldsifting through sand and dirt.【小题 1 What is the purpose of the passage?A.To compare two diflFerent species.B To provide evidence for discoveries.C To introduce a kind of ant as a helper.D.To promote awareness of mammal protecticm.小题 2】Which aspect may influence the diversity of mammals in the past?A.Climate change.B.Ant numbers.C.Cave materials.D.Dirt locations.【小题 3】What does the underlined word“subterranean mean in paragraph 3?A.Coastal.B Suburban.C.Mountainous.D.UndergroimdL 小题 4 What can we learn about the harvester ants from the last two paragraphs?A.Their caves are miles deep.C.Hiey can carry pills around.B.Materials with fossils are their food.D.Fosfiils may be found around their hills.5、【来源】2023年高三高考模拟（预测六）第 5 题In a recent survey in the United Kingdom,elderly adults who joined weekly read-aloud groups reportedbetter concentration and an improved ability to socialize.The survey s authors owed these improvements in large part to the“rich,varied diet of seriousliteraturethat group members consumed,with fiction encouraging relaxation and calm,poetrydeveloping focused concentration,and narratives of all sorts giving rise to thoughts,feelings,andmemories.The second-century Greek doctor Antyllus even prescribed daily recitation to his patients,recommendingit as a kind health-giving nutrient and declaring“Epic verse is the best for one s health.Reading anepic poem might be a tall order,but in truth,almost any kind of reading to another person can be beneficial.That seems to be especially true for patients suffering from Alzheimer*s disease,according to a 2017University of Liverpool study of 800,000 patients.u Reading a literary text together explores the power ofreading as a cognitive（认 矢 口 的）process,allowing readers a sense of subjective and shared experiences atthe same time,“the study s authors wrote.We are not the only species to benefit from this kind of oral medicine.Dogs do,too,which is why,since2014,volunteers have read to the animals under the group s care.I noticed that the dogs that were veryfearful would slowly move forward to the front.They would appear to be listening,and they wouldbecome very relaxed.On the day I stopped by,a retired opera singer was reading the sci-fi thrillerLogan s Run to half a dozen dogs.”Readers get rewards too.For Neil Bush,the late-life hospitalization of his famous parents,George H.W.Bush and Barbara Bush,became opportunities to repay a debt of gratitude.When I was a kid,my motherwould read to us,“he told a reporter in the spring of 2018.“And to read the story of their amazing lifetogether has been a remarkable blessing to me,personally,as their son.”【小题 1 Which aspect has been changed by reading to others?A.The calmness given by poems.B.The way of having a healthy lifestyle.C.The cammunication between old people.D.The ability to understand literature.【小题 2 Why were poems prescribed to patients?A.An epic poem might be a tall order.B.Ancient doctors preferred the way.C.Patients could be completely cured by reading.D.The effects of treatment could be positive.【小题 3 What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A.Dogs served a lot in the study.B.Dogs are fearful while listening.C.The opera singer volunteered to help the dogs.D.Reading to dogs is also beneficial.【小题 4 What did Neil Bush say about reading?A.Patients in the hospital must read to recover.B.Reading bronit the warmth back to his family.C.Reading can pay off debts.D Thankfulness should be expressed by reading.三、七选五6、【来源】2023年高三高考模拟（预测六）第 6 题The workforce is tired.So,if you feel like you re burning out,what works when it comes to recoveringfrom stress?Understanding stress recoveryRecovery is the process of restoring your state back to pre-stress levels.【小题1 .The skill of recovery is well known in fields that require performance under extremepressure,where errors can be costly or even deadly.Consider a pilot on a critical mission or an athlete whoworks a
