At-Bristol,this harbourside science museum relaunched in 2017 as We The Curious to better reflect its mission to get kids to ask questions and engage in science,technology,engineering,and mathematics(Stem subjects)in creative ways.Best things about itMy kids dont shy away from telling me if they think a museum is boring but here they were too busy rushing from one hands-on exhibit to the next to have any such complaint.They dressed up as bees to catch pollen(花粉)made cheese,watched ice form,weighed human brains and stretched out strips of DNA to compare the genetic sequence(基因序列)of a monkey and an armadillo.Value for money?Given that the science museums in London,Manchester and Newcastle are free,it does jar(不一致)having to pay 14.50 for adults and 9.50 for kids(aged 3-15)to get in.Kids under 3 are free.I did have to push them out the door at the end of the day.Weeks on,they still refer back to things they learnt there.Getting thereWe The Curious is near the National Cycle Network(routes 3,4,and 33).The museum has lots of bicycle parking.Alternatively,its a 10-minute walk from Bristol Temple Meads railway station or a five-minute taxi ride or 17-minute ferry ride.If driving,follow the We The Curious brown signs and park 常德市一中2024届高三第六次月水平检测 学科网（北京）股份有限公司第 2 页 共 4 页at the Millennium Square car park for free.Opening hoursMonday to Friday 10a.m.-5p.m.,10a.m.-6p.m.at

narrow streets of the city hunting for discarded items.“I pick up all sorts of things,chairs,wine boxes,bowls and cups.its like treasure hunting for me,”she says.The 27-year-old digital marketer is among the first adopters of“stooping”in China,a practice that refers to picking up discarded furniture and other goods on the streets for re-use.She says the concept“stooping”was inspired by New Yorkers who often leave unwanted things on the“stoops”or doorstepsleading up to the entrances of buildings.“The core concept of stooping for me is to make the best use of things,”Ms.Chen says.“It can help you to save money,but its not just about lowering consumption.”“Its wasteful to throw away something thats still usable;its better to share it with others who need it.”Ms.Chen says she was among the first to use the hashtag(话题标签)stooping on Xiaohongshu.“I initially started with posting items that people no longer used and wanted to throw away or exchange.gradually Im receiving hundreds of messages each day,”she says.Since then,the trend has become increasingly popular.Ms.Chen says she is“very surprised”the concept has become a hit on social media,as older generations often stigmatize picking up things from the street or using second-hand goods.“People like my mum consider stooping as rubbish picking and scavenging(拾荒),”she says.“She thinks that people will look down on you for doing this.”For Nan Zheng,an environmentalist and advocate,stooping is more than the physical act of picking up things from the streets.He created an app called“Grecycle”where people can give away or take unwanted items for free.“I think we can let more people know about the concept of stooping as an interesting and fun thing to do,”Mr.Nan says.“But then,gradually we can let people know this can also be about charity and helping others.”24.What can we learn about Mikiko Chen from paragraph 2 and 3?A.She is hunting for costly treasures.B.She just wants to reduce consumption.C.She got inspiration from herself.D.She intends to make the most of throwaway items.25.Why did Mikiko Chen use the hashtag stooping on Xiaohongshu?A.To collect varieties of messages.B.To go viral on social media.C.To share something still usable with others.D.To throw away unwanted things on the“stoops”.26.What does the underlined part in paragraph 5 probably mean?A.The older are ashamed of stooping.B.The older are skilled at stooping.C.The older are exposed to stooping.D.The older are addicted to stooping27.What is Nan Zhengs true intention of creating the app“Grecycle”?A.Recycling discarded things from the streets.B.Getting unwanted items for free on“Grecycle”.C.Exchanging items through“Grecycle”.D.Enhancing peoples awareness of charity.C Within the beautiful landscape of Wisconsins Lake Chippewa lies a natural wonder that poses a unique challenge for the local community.This hidden wonder is none other than a giant floating island.The island,composed of plants and trees,occasionally floats around the lake,causing a significant inconvenience by blocking a vital bridge.Later,the local people proposed a solution to this problem.Every year,local boat owners work together and push the island away from the bridge.Lake Chippewa was born in 1923 when a vast bog（沼泽）was transformed through flooding.Soon after that,many of the peat bogs started rising to the surface and became perfect growing spots for plants,with seeds carried by wind and wild birds to this floating place.Over the years,these bogs have grown plants and trees and turned into full islands.As time goes by,plants take root,and the oldest islands even have trees that act as sails when the wind blows,moving the entire floating mass around the lake.Although the decades-old floating island does not relocate constantly,when it does,it causes trouble for the community by blocking the vital bridge that serves as the sole passage between the lakes East and West sides.The only solution is to gather a fleet of boats,and not just one or two,but dozens of boats working together to push the island away.It takes a communitys effort,and you must have the winds at your back to push them in,said a resident.Moving the island also requires precision（精确）,as merely relocating（重新迁移）it a short distance may result in its return within days.Some people have suggested blowing up the floating islands to get rid of the problem.However,the big bog in Lake Chippewa has been around for decades,and in that time a wealth of animal and plant species have made it their home.Therefore,local authorities prefer they be dealt with in a way that wont negatively impact wildlife,highlighting the delicate balance between human convenience and environmental conservation.The annual tradition of relocating Lake Chippewas floating island is evidence to the coexistence of humanity and nature,a heartwarming display of community unity,and a reminder of the importance of preserving the unique habitats that enrich our world.28.What does the underlined word solution in paragraph 1 refer to?A.Building a new bridge.B.Transforming the vast bog.C.Moving the floating island away.D.Reconstructing the local community.29.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The formation of the floating island.B.The history of flooding in Lake Chippewa.C.The abundance of species in Lake Chippewa.D.The impact of the wind on the floating island.30.What do we know about the relocation work from paragraph 3?A.It is usually finished within days.B.It is demanding in cooperation and precision.C.It can only be carried out during windless days.D.It greatly disturbs the community residents lives.常德市一中2024届高三第六次月水平检测 学科网（北京）股份有限公司第 3 页 共 4 页31.Why have the local authorities refused to blow up the island?A.To save costs for local people.B.To ensure the safety of residents.C.To increase the bond between communities.D.To protect the wildlife species on the island.D“Many people consider cats to be a largely nonsocial species,”Daniel Mills,a veterinary behaviorist at the University of Lincoln,tells Science.“There is clearly a lot going on that we are not aware of.”To collect data on these furry subjects,researcher Lauren Scott of the University of Kansas Medical Center frequented a cat caf located in Los Angeles for about a year and recorded videos of interactions between 53 cats.In total,Scott gathered 194 minutes of feline(猫科的)films that contained 186 interactions.With the help of her co-author,evolutionary psychologist Brittany N.Florkiewicz,she analyzed the cats facial signals.The pair discovered 276 expressions made up of a combination of 26 facial movements,including shifts in ear position,blinks,nose licks and whisker(胡须)and mouth movements.Of all expressions,about 45 percent or 126 were categorized as friendly,37 percent were aggressive and 18 percent were ambiguous.“These findings show it is good to look at a cats ears,eyes and whiskers to understand if they are feeling friendly,”Florkiewicz tells.“Their mouth provides a lot of information about whether a cat fight is likely.People may think that cats facial expressions are all about warning other cats and people off,but this shows just how social and tolerant pet cats can actually be.”The team also identified a“common play face”among cats,which was characterized by a dropped jaw and drawn back corners of the mouth.Still,the scientists detected some patterns:Cats tended to move their ears and whiskers toward one another during friendly interactions and away during unfriendly ones.When the animals are aggressive,they often shrink their pupils(瞳孔)and flatten their ears.Cats display negative emotions with flattened ears and curled-back whiskers.The new study could be used to help humans adopting cats find one thats more likely to get along with existing pets,or it could help pet owners understand their feline companions better,Florkiewicz tells Science.32.What did Lauren Scott do to collect data about cats facial expressions?A.She shot videos of cats interaction at a cat caf.B.She observed cats in their natural habitat.C.She conducted experiments in a laboratory setting.D.She interviewed cat owners about their pets behaviour.33.If cats plan to make an attack,they will _.A.move its ears and whiskers forward B.narrow its pupils and flatten its earsC.close its ears and twist its whiskers D.lower its jaw and draw back the corners of the mouth34.What can we learn from the passage?A.Cats nonsocial nature is well confirmed.B.Cats facial expressions are usually offensive.C.Cats expression study will assist pet adopters.D.Cats expressions wont signal their negative emotions.35.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.Friendliness and Aggression of Cats B.The Social Nature of CatsC.The Common Behaviour of Cats D.Facial Signals and Interactions of Cats 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。It is common for people to believe that by reading something over and over again they will learn it.However,repetition alone does not ensure learning.36 According to some reports,this is the most popular way students attempt to learn.However,mere exposure does not necessarily lead to better memory.What matters most is the approach taken when trying to learn the material.Here are some tips for effective learning.Develop focused attention.37 Focused attention requires you to keep in mind what is important to your current goal.Attention is a skill;it can be learned.Research indicates various forms of mindfulness,meditation,and other strategies can lead to improved attention.38 All learning and memory formation is heavily dependent on brain health.Various types of exercise are beneficial for brain health.The foundations of brain health include exercise,nutrition,and cultivating positive social interactions.39 Nutrition recommendations include eating a balanced diet.Social interactions are good for brain health,but only when they are positive interactions.Space your learning sessions.Memory is best when you spread your studying or training across multiple sessions.One of the key reasons that spaced learning increases memory is that each time you study,you may perceive the material from a different perspective.40 A.Focus on brain health.B.Practice challenging activities.C.This may come as a surprise to many.D.The exercise can vary f
