Many scientific fields deal with the strangest of the animal kingdom - like creatures with a handful of eyes and bodies so different from our own. Art can help us experience these hard-to-imagine parts of the natural world and shed light on new scientific discoveries.Alia Payne, an interactive arts professor came to the National Museum of Natural History to work with the live jellyfish collections. She always got the same question from visitors, "How do jellyfish stings work?” She had the scientific answer fbr them but found it difficult to explain without a clear visual. Thafs when a lightbulb went off in Payne's mind. She built a 3D model of one of the stinging cells that visitors could touch and interact with. "I've always loved art fbr education/9 said Payne. "We learn more easily when we have something to play and interact with?9While art helps society experience, it also helps scientists understand the natural world. Dr. Karen Osborn, a zoologist at the museum, specializes in the striking creatures of the ocean's largest habitatthe midwater. Midwater creatures are equipped with all sorts of unique features to get them through life in their extreme habitat, and Osborn's research helps us understand how these animals came to be. "So I started learning photography,“ Osborn explained. “It was really important because these animals don't look so great when they're preserved in ajar in the museum's collections.Artistic creativity provides an opportunity to show off the bright colors, attractive body plans and cool adaptations of these creatures to the museum's scientists, visitors and the world. In turn, art connects scientists to their own creativity and aids in their scientific process and the communication of their discoveries. By weaving together science with imagination and storytelling, art helps highlight the beauty of the ocean's creatures even those fit for horror movies and connects people to their innate curiosity for the strangeness of the animal kingdom.28. What can we know about art according to Paragraph 1?A. It is a powerful tool with a scientific story.B. It can help us get close to the natural world.C. It can provide a new view for exploring science.D. It has different eyes and bodies to experience nature.29. What is Payne's purpose of building a 3D model?A. To show off.B. To get a job.C To persuade visitors to buy jellyfish.D. To explain science in a simple way.30. Why does Osborn start learning photography?A. Because he is full of imagination.B. Because he wants to improve his work.C. Because he is attracted by the natural world.D. Because he wants to help scientists understand nature. 31. How does art affect scientists?A. It promotes their creativity.B. It focuses on the scientific process.C. It helps scientists experience society.D. It provides an opportunity for the scientists.【答案】28.C29. D 30. B 31. A【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述艺术是讲述科学故事的有力工具。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中 “Art can help us experience these hard-to-imagine parts of the natural world and shed light on new scientific discoveries.(艺术可以帮助我们体验自然界中这些难以想象的部分,并揭示新的科 学发现)”可知,艺术可以为探索科学提供一个新的视角。故选C。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中 “She had the scientific answer for them but found it difficult to explain without a clear visual.(她对这些问题有科学的答案,但发现如果没有清晰的图像,很难解释清楚)"及"We learn more easily when we have something to play and interact with.(当我们有东西玩和互动时,我们更容易学习)”可 知,Payne建立一个3D模型是为了用一种简单的方式解释科学。故选D。【30题详解】推理判 断题。根据第三段中 Mid water creatures are equipped with all sorts of unique features to get them through life in their extreme habitat, and Osborn's research helps us understand how these animals came to be.(中 水生物具有各种独特的特征,以使它们在极端的栖息地中生存,Osborn的研究帮助我们了解这些动物是如 何形成的)” 以及 “It was really important because these animals don't look so great when they're preserved in a jar in the museum's collections.(这真的很重要,因为这些动物被保存在博物馆收藏的罐子里时,看起来不太 好)”可知,Osborn专门研究具有各种独特的特征的中水生物,但这些生物被保存在博物馆收藏的罐子里 时,看起来不太好,所以他开始学习摄影,这对他的工作有重要意义,由此可推知他学习摄影师为了提高自己的工作。故选B。【31题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中 “In turn, art connects scientists to their own creativity and aids in their scientific process and the communication of their discoveries.(反过来,艺术将科学家与他们自己的创造力联系起来,并 有助于他们的科学过程和他们的发现的交流)”可知,艺术提高科学家的创造力。故选A。DAs climate change becomes severe summer after summer, millions of people are finding themselves covered in wildfire smoke, including those in North America just this past month. It is bad for our health. It is also really disturbing, but we don't talk about that as much.We often use the terms "atmosphere" or climate to refer to the mood of a situation. We use metaphors (比喻) to describe affective states, such as "feeling under the weather" or "on cloud nine”. Such language suggests that we understand that human emotions are intimately related to the atmospheric phenomena. Yet rarely do we pay attention to the ways we feel climate change.But wildfire smoke shows how affective climate change can be. For example, wildfire smoke is often referred to using emotional phrases such as “air of dread”. Through living with the smoke and the panic it generates, we can think more carefully about the ways we experience climate change, and crucially, why and how we need to respond to it.We often think of climate change impacts as far away, separate from our bodies, because science typically uses global representations and statistical information. But wildfire smoke spreads and pollutes our bodies, and indeed, crosses many other boundaries; it drifts from rural areas into big cities; and it crosses state and national borders with ease. Of course, some borders are more permeable (渗透的),and some bodies more sensitive to the smoke.Through its ability to pass through and become part of our very being, wildfire smoke is closer in nature to the air pollution we normally think of as one of the causes of climate change. Wildfire smoke is both an impact and a cause of climate change. It explains the nature of climate change impacts and the self-reinforcing (自我强化) feedback circles that can, and may, lead to the planet warming itself independent of human actions.32. What can we learn about people's reaction to climate change?A. They are curious about it.B. They take it very seriously.C. They feel powerless about it.D. They pay little attention to it.33. What does the underlined word “intimately" in paragraph 2 mean?B. Naturally.D. Unexpectedly.A. Closely.C. Certainly.34. What does the author think of wildfire smoke?A. It allows people to sense climate change.B. It does great harm to people's health.C. It influences people's mood.D. It attracts scientists9 deep concerns worldwide.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Why Smoke from Wildfires Harms UsB How We Can Observe Climate ChangeC. What Smoke from Wildfires Can Teach UsWhat We Can Do to Avoid Smoke from Wildfires【答案】32. D 33. A 34. A 35. C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了气候变化导致野火不断,其产生的烟雾加强了人们对气候变化的 认识。【详解】1.推理判断题。根据第一段的 It is bad for our health. It is also really disturbing, but we don,t talk about that as much.(它对我们的健康有害。这也很令人不安,但我们很少谈论这个)”和第二段最后一句“Yet rarely do we pay attention to the ways we feel climate change.(然而,我们很少会关注我们对气候变化的 感受)”可知,虽然气候变化会造成野火,且其产生的烟雾会对人们的健康造成损害,但人们很少谈论它, 也很少关注对于气候变化的感受。故选D。2 .词句猜测题。根据第二段的“We often use the terms 'atmosphere9 or 'climate9 to refer to the mood of a situation. We use metaphors (比口俞)to describe affective states, such as "feeling under the weather9 or 'on cloud nine(我们经常使用术语“气氛”或“气候”来指一种情况的气氛。我们用隐喻来描述情感状态,诸如“感觉不舒服”或“飘飘然”)”可知,人们经常使用“空气”或“气候”之类的词汇来指代某种情况下的 情绪;经常用比喻来描述情感状态,如feeling under the weather (感觉不舒服)和on cloud nine (在九霄云 上; 狂喜)。再结合划线词所在句 “Such language suggests that we understand that human emotions are intimately related to the atmospheric phenomena.(这种语言表明,我们可以理解,人类的情感与大气现象intimately相关)”可知,这些语言表明我们人类的情绪与大气现象有着非常密切的关系。由此可知,划线词intimately与closely “密切的”意思相近。故选A。3 .推理判断题。根据第四段的"We often think of climate change impacts as far away, separate from our bodies, because science typically uses global representations and statistical information. But wildfire smoke spreads and pollutes our bodies, and indeed, crosses many other boundaries(我们经常认为气候变化的影响是遥远的,与我 们的身体无关,因为科学通常使用全球描述和统计信息。但是野火的烟雾会扩散并污染我们的身体,事实 上,还跨越了许多其他边界)”可推知,作者认为野火烟雾让人们确切地感受到了气候变化带来的影响。故 选Ao.主旨大意题。根据第段内容“As climate change becomes severe summer after summer, millions of people are finding themselves covered in wildfire smoke, including those in North America just this past month. It is bad for our health. It is also really disturbing, but we don't talk about that as much.(随着气候变化在一个又一个夏天 变得越来越严重,数百万人发现自己被野火烟雾覆盖,包括上个月在北美的那些人。它对我们的健康有 害。这也很令人不安,但我们很少谈论这个)”以及下文可知,文章主要介绍了气候变化导致野火不断,其 产生的烟雾加强了人们对气候变化的认识。由此可知,C项“野火产生的烟雾能教会我们什么"最适合作 为文章的标题。故选C。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。It can be hard to be enthusiastic about your job after you've been at it for a while.
