household,the watermelon has gained popularity rapidly over the years,and an online grocer reported that the fruits sales on the platform had increased sixfold from 2020 to 2022,resulting in increasingly high demand for watermelon quality testers.Lee,32,is extremely busy in the summer months.Just by holding the watermelon near his ear and knocking on the surface with his fingers,Lee says,he can tell by the sound if the fruit is ripe enough to be eaten or not.He works for a rural cooperative set up by a group of watermelon farmers,and puts thousands of watermelons through the knock test daily,before they are shipped to downtown warehouses where the platform sources its supplies.The practice of knocking on watermelons to determine their ripeness can be found across cultures.In China,it is considered a national habit.Smart buyers tap on the fruit before purchase to ensure their money is well-spent.Some buyers knock on the fruit despite not knowing what the hollow sound means just to negotiate a better deal from the seller.As fruit sales have moved to online platforms in a big way,those who make a living by checking the quality of the fruits with their fingers are much in demand.Lee is one among the growing group.Their task is to conduct knock tests on behalf of e-buyers and ensure that the fruits selected to be sold online are uniform in size and quality.Lee,who was once an award-winning soccer player,now describes himself as a goalkeeper for watermelons.He quit soccer about four years ago and learned about melon-knocking as an emerging profession and decided to become an apprentice（学徒）to an experienced farmer.After a years trial and error,Lee worked independently as a quality checker.It is a highly demanding task.During the apprenticeship,I often cracked open melons to confirm my judgment.There are just no shortcuts,he said.24.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To introduce an emerging profession.B.To describe Lees career transformation.C.To discuss the importance of fruit quality testers.D.To explain the cultural role of watermelon-knocking.25.What has led to the high demand for watermelon quality testers?A.The popularity of watermelons.B.The big harvest of watermelons.C.An increase in watermelon prices.D.A rapid rise in online watermelon sales.学科网（北京）股份有限公司学科网（北京）股份有限公司26.Why does Lee describe himself as a goalkeeper for watermelons?A.He was once an award-winning soccer player.B.He dreams of being a professional melon-knocker.C.He was taught by an experienced watermelon farmer.D.He ensures that customers enjoy watermelons of quality.27.What can we learn from Lees words in the last paragraph?A.Seeing is believing.B.Every man has his value.C.Great efforts and practice matter.D.Excellence can be found in any profession.CA moment occurs in the exchange between professor and student when each of us adopts a look.My look says,What,you dont understand?Theirs says,We dont.And we think youre making it up.We are having a problem.Basically,weve all read the same story,but we havent used the same analytical approaches.It may seem at times as if the professor is inventing interpretations out of thin air.Actually,the truth is that as the slightly more experienced reader,the professor has acquired over the years the use of a certain language reading.Besides,he has grasped three professional tools-memory,symbol and pattern.These items separate the professional readers from the ordinary ones.English professors are cursed with memory.When reading a new book,I constantly seek out connections and inferences,recalling faces and themes from past readings.I cant not do it,although there are plenty of times when that ability is not something I want to exercise.This does not necessarily improve the experience of popular entertainment.Professors also read and think symbolically.Everything is a symbol of something,it seems,until proven otherwise.We ask:What does the thing over there represent?The kind of mind that works its way through undergraduate and then graduate classes in literature and criticism tends to see things as existing in themselves while also representing something else.This tendency to understand the world in symbolic terms is enhanced by years of training and rewards the symbolic imagination.A related phenomenon in professorial reading is pattern recognition.Most professional students of literature learn to take in the specific detail while seeing the patterns that the detail reveals.学科网（北京）股份有限公司学科网（北京）股份有限公司Experience has proved to them that life and books fall into similar patterns.Literature is full of patterns,and your reading experience will be much more rewarding when you can step back from the work,even while you are reading it,and look for those patterns.28.How does the author introduce the topic?A.By describing a real-life scene.B.By using popular quotes.C.By presenting conflicting ideas.D.By raising an interesting question.29.Why do the students think the professor is making up interpretations?A.They have limited life experience.B.They lack chances for sufficient reading.C.They are unable to analyze the text thoroughly.D.They do not trust the professors teaching abilities.30.What does paragraph 3 say about English professors?A.They have a strong desire to not have their good memory.B.Their reading habit doesnt always guarantee desirable effects.C.Their memory adds to their reading pleasure of popular works.D.They keep making connections with their own life while reading.31.Which is the authors suggestion on reading literature?A.Identify the hidden text modes.B.Perceive many things at the same time.C.Look for details and language patterns.D.Memorize patterns of symbolic meanings.DResearch is making surprising discoveries about insects:Honeybees have emotional ups and downs.Cockroaches have personalities and team up to make decisions.Fruit flies experience something very like fear.Were pretty sure other humans have feelings because they can tell us.But we dont know whether the bee is buzzing in anger or in fear.Human babies are silent on the matter,too.It was only in the 1980s that doctors came to believe human babies felt pain.In recent years,humans have gradually offered membership in the sentience club not only to their own young,but to some other animals.In the last decade,many countries have begun to ban 学科网（北京）股份有限公司学科网（北京）股份有限公司experimentation on all great apes.And some ocean creatures were recently recognized as sentient.But with insects,the question remains open.Andrew Barron and Colin Klein are behind much of the foundational work on bee brains.In 2016,they published a paper arguing that insects brains have the capacity for subjective experience.Their argument follows on the research of Swedish scientist BjrnMerker,whose work suggests that the more basic forms of consciousness（意识）are located not in the cortex（大脑皮层）,which insects do not have,but in subcortical structures of the brain,which insects do have.These subcortical structures are quite big and have a huge amount of processing power,says Barron.They also argue that these structures may have been the earlier forms of our consciousness during evolutionary development.Other researchers are digging into the question,too.Jessica Ware notes that shes unsure what the similarities in these subcortical structures mean for insect consciousness.We dont really have enough information to distinguish between what could be consciousness or awareness of the surroundings and what could be us humans interpreting that as consciousness,she says.Still,Ware loves the idea of expanding the discussion of consciousness.The doors are just opening up for further exploration,she says.This means we might have stopped looking at what it means to be conscious from a human-centered view.32.Why is it challenging to determine the emotional states of insects?A.Insects tend to hide their emotions.B.Insects are not capable of communication.C.Insects rarely experience human-like emotions.D.Insects cannot convey their emotions to humans.33.What does the underlined phrase sentience club refer to in paragraph 3?A.Animals selected for scientific research.B.Social clubs founded to protect animals.C.Creatures recognised as having consciousness.D.Organizations committed to emotion management.34.What do Barron and Klein argue about insect brains?A.They have developed in similar ways as human brains.B.They have the competence for emotions and consciousness.学科网（北京）股份有限公司学科网（北京）股份有限公司C.They have the same processing power as human beings do.D.They produce some basic forms of consciousness in the cortex.35.What is Wares concern about Barron and Kleins argument?A.The lack of theoretical foundation.B.The possibility of misinterpretation.C.The underestimation of brain function.D.The use of inappropriate research method.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5
