home，collecting small animals like insects in glass jars.Stewart recalls making holes in the jars,holding each up to his ear to hear the delicate sounds.Stewart soon borrowed a microphone and began recording what he heard.Now in his 60s，Stewart has made a collection of more than 30,000 hours of material.His recordings have been used in more than 150 films and numerous podcasts(博客)and nature documentaries.“We have a visual culture and have,until very recently,studied the wild nature primarily through what we see，”says Bernie Krause，a soundscape ecologist and friend of Stewarts.“But a much fuller understanding can be gained from what we hear.”Krause credits the rise in popularity of nature sounds，meditations(冥想)and science recordings in part to the pioneering work of audio recordists like Stewart.To build his library of sounds，Stewart has been to more than 40 countries.While recording，he limits his senses to a single input like sound.This reveals environments in new ways，says Stewart.To get a few minutes of the sounds can take hours of work.Sometimes，the noise from cars,airplanes and other machinery is so subtle and common that he often arrives home only to find the noise makes the files useless.Now,some species he has recorded in their natural environment can no longer be heard in that setting.At least four of the species are now extinct in the wild.Stewart，who was diagnosed with bone cancer last year,recently released a free collection of his most prized recordings to the public.By doing this，he is optimistic that those listening will feel closer to foreign species and environments，and feel motivated to act.“I think if we let people listen to these beautiful sound recordings，maybe we can start protecting what weve got left,”says Stewart.24.What did Martyn Stewart do when he was young?A.He recalled making holes in the jars.B.He built his library of sounds.C.He gathered insects in glass jars.D.He used his microphone to record what he heard.25.What can be inferred about Stewart from paragraph 2？A.He made a great contribution.B.He valued quantity over quality.C.He explored the untouched wild nature.D.He considered audio content the mainstream.英语试卷 第 6 页(共 12 页)学科网（北京）股份有限公司26.What challenge can Stewart face at work？A.The limitation of his senses.B.The interruption from noise.C.The difficulty in tracking animals.D.The tough journey across countries.27.Why did Stewart release the collection of his recordings？A.To get recognition from the public.B.To inspire people to protect nature.C.To encourage people to study nature.D.To spread knowledge of extinct species.CTo study coral reefs and the creatures that live there，scientists sometimes use underwater drones(无人机).But drones arent perfect.Their propellers(螺旋桨)can harm reefs and other living things.Drones also can be noisy，scaring animals away.So,Erik Engelberg,a mechanical engineer at Florida Atlantic University,and his team developed a new toolrobojellyfish.The device has eight tentacles（触角）and a case on top.The case holds the electronics that control the jellyfish and store data.One component in the case allows wireless communication with the robo-jellyfish.Real jellyfish move slowly and gently.So does the robo-jellyfish.Thats why the researchers think it wont frighten animals underwater.Whats more，Engelberg says,“The soft body of our robo jellyfish helps it to monitor ecosystems without damaging them.”For example，the robot could carry a sensor to record ocean temperatures.The data it gathered could help scientists map where and when the ocean is warming because of climate change.“Jellyfish have been moving around our oceans for millions of years，so they are excellent swimmers,”says David Gruber，a marine biologist at Baruch College in New York City.“Im always impressed when scientists get ideas from nature,”Gruber says.“Especially something as simple as the jellyfish.”Fighting climate change motivates Engelberg and his team.“I have a deep desire to help endangered reefs around the world,”he says.He hopes his robojellyfish will help researchers study hidden impacts of climate change at sea.The robo jellyfish is work in progress.“We are making a new version right now,”Engelberg says.It swims deeper and can carry more sensors than the older model.This should make it an even better spy on the conditions affecting coral reefs worldwide.英语试卷 第 7 页(共 12 页)学科网（北京）股份有限公司28.Why did Engelberg and his team create the robojellyfish？A.The drones cant swim deep enough.B.The robojellyfish can carry more

strength-in fact,selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything.But looking through memory data for recent years,researchers found that the neurobiology of forgetting can be just as important to our decision-making as what our minds choose to remember.Making intelligent decisions doesnt mean you need to have all the information at hand.It just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information.And that means clearing up space in your memory palace for the most up-to-date information on clients and situations.Our brains do this by creating new neurons(神经元)in our hippocampus,which have the power to replace existing memories that are influencing our decision-making.If you want to increase the number of new neurons in our brains learning region,try exercising.Moderate aerobic exercise like jogging,power walking,and swimming has been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.英语试卷 第 8 页(共 12 页)学科网（北京）股份有限公司When we forget the names of certain clients and details about old jobs,our brain is making a choice that these details dont matter.Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern,the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system.The researchers found that our brains facilitate decision-making by stopping us from focusing too much on unimportant past details.Instead,the brain helps us remember the most important part of a conversation.We can get blamed for being absent-minded when we forget past events in perfect detail.These findings show us that total recall cant be as important as some people think.Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories,not every story.32.How can we help our brains produce more neurons?A.By running marathons frequently.B.By practicing swimming regularly.C.By doing mental labor repeatedly.D.By learning new skills constantly.33.What does the underlined word“facilitate”probably mean in paragraph 5?A.Make something easier.B.Make something harder.C.Make something more interesting.D.Make something more important.34.What conclusion can be drawn from the text?A.Memory loss is well worth noticing.B.Decisions cant be made without memories.C.We shouldnt stress the importance of total recall.D.Forgetting is even more important than remembering.35.Which of the following can be the suitable title for the text?A.Caution:do remember to forgetB.Why and how people choose to forgetC.Total recall is importantD.Being forgetful makes you smarter英语试卷 第 9 页(共 12 页)学科网（北京）股份有限公司第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 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。Household chores like cooking,cleaning,washing the dishes,and making the bed are never done;they just get repeated like a broken record.Boring!36 But there are science-based reasons for changing your attitude towards chores.It turns out that doing chores is great for your health.37 As researchers state in a report,doing undemanding tasks allows the mind to wander.Your mind gets a break，which allows you to consider old problems with new eyes.In fact，undemanding tasks stimulate more creative ideas than demanding tasks or just resting.Chores are linked to a lower dementia(痴呆）risk.To discover what activities might be linked to a lower rate of dementia，researchers analyzed massive amounts of healthcare data from the UK Biobank.They found that those most engaged in household chores had a 21 percent lower risk of dementia compared to those least engaged in chores.38 Finishing your chores can increase motivation.BJ Fogg,author of Tiny Habits:The Small Changes That Change Everything,states that the most important skill is recognizing and celebrating successes.Completing even a small task,like making your bed,can give you a sense of satisfaction.39 Similarly,author Admiral William H.McRaven argues that if you want to change the world,start off by making your bed.Chores are good for childrens mental health.Children develop a sense of ownership when they have jobs to do around the house and it makes them feel like they are an important member of the household.40 In my own case,I bond with my daughter by gossiping and singing while we do chores together.A.Chores are an opportunity for“me time”.B.Chores can lead to creative problem-solving.C.Thus,you feel motivated to deal with tasks one after another.D.In this way,they can be taught to be independent
