18、way.I got the call at work,and I headed home quickly.Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that theyhave owned since I was seven.I hated going there every weekend.There was nothing for a young girl to dobut watch the one station on the old TV set.The place was shabby,with no indoor pipes or heat.We had

19、abig wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse,but it always seemed cold andtoo quiet for me.My mom,on the other hand,loved the peace and quiet of the land and loved to work in the gardenamong her flowers and vegetables.In the evening,my mom and I would sit for hours s

20、inging in the littlekitchen.I sang the melody and mom harmonized.Her favourite song was“Moon River”and we sang itover and over.Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl,I could sing before I could talk.She loved to tell me over and over again that my playpens(婴儿床）was then placed in the

21、kitchen next tothe radio and there was one song I particularly loved called“Ivory Tower”.As time passed,I had my own children and being a mother myself just allowed me to visit themevery week or two.The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad.Me,well,I still hate thesilence of the farm

22、.While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowersand retell all the old stories,I missed the hustle and bustle of my life at home.But I sat there listeningquietly as she recalled.Now,I sat back in the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over

23、 to turn on anold radio.Music always comforted me.My heart skipped a beat.“Moon River”was playing on the radio.I sat there stunned,with a tearrunning down my cheek,as I listened to every familiar note.Then the radio announcer came on.“Heres one we havent heard in a while,”and an unfamiliarsong began

27、My happy ChildhoodCNASAs James Webb Space Telescope has taken its first image of a planet outside of our solarsystem.The telescope recorded four different views of HIP 65426 b,a large planet about 6 to 12 times themass of the planet Jupiter.“This is a historic moment,not only for Webb but also for a

28、stronomy generally,”said SashaHinkley,associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Exeter.Astronomers discoveredHIP 65426 b in 2017 using the European Southern Observatorys Very Large Telescope in Chile.It is ayoung exoplanet(系外行星)around 15 to 20 million years old Earth is 4.5 b

29、illion years old.According to NASA,taking direct images of exoplanets presents a challenge because stars are muchbrighter than their surrounding planets HIP 65426 b is more than 10,000 times duller than its host star inthe near-infrared(近红外光),and a few thousand times duller in the mid-infrared.Webb

30、has a near-infrared camera and mid-infrared instrument,which are both equipped withcoronagraphs(日冕仪).“It was really impressive how well the Webb coronagraphs worked to suppressthe light of the host star,”Prof.Hinkley said.Since the planet is around 100 times further away from itshost star than Earth

31、 is from the Sun,the telescope can easily separate it from the star in the image.Although this is not the first direct image of an exoplanet taken from space,as the Hubble SpaceTelescope has taken direct exoplanet images previously,the image points the way to future observationsthat will disclose mo

32、re information about exoplanets.“I think whats most exciting is that weve only justbegun,”said Aarynn Carter,a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California.“There are manymore images of exoplanets to come that will shape our overall understanding of their physics,chemistry,and formation.W

33、e may even discover previously unknown planets,too.”28What can be inferred about HIP 65426 b?AIt was first observed in Chile.BIt is a planet of the solar system.CIt is about the size of Jupiter.DIt has a longer history than Earth.29Why is it hard to take direct images of HIP 65426 b?AIts very close

34、to its host star.BInfrared cameras cant spot it.CIts surrounded by other planets.DThe light of its host star is too strong.30What does the underlined word“suppress”in paragraph 4 mean?AStrengthen.BBlock.CIdentify.DAdjust.31What does Aarynn Carter say about the image of HIP 65426 b?AIt is the only im

35、age of exoplanets.BIt is useful in exploring other exoplanets.CIt provides details of the exoplanet.DIt helps understand the solar system better.DOn March 7,1907,the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated whathas come to be known as the“wisdom of crowds”effect.The ex

36、periment of estimation he conductedshowed that in some cases,the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quiteaccurate.This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors,those errors arent always thesame.Some people will tend to overestimate,and some to underestimat

37、e.When enough of these errors areaveraged together,they cancel each other out,resulting in a more accurate estimate.If people are similarand tend to make the same errors,then their errors wont cancel each other out.In more technical terms,the wisdom of crowds requires that peoples estimates be indep

38、endent.If for whatever reasons,peopleserrors become correlated or dependent,the accuracy of the estimate will go down.But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist(转 折)on this classicphenomenon.The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller

39、groupsthat were allowed to have a discussion,the averages from these groups were more accurate than thosefrom an equal number of independent individuals.For instance,the average obtained from the estimates offour discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained fro

40、m 20independent individuals.In a follow-up study with 100 university students,the researchers tried to get a better sense of whatthe group members actually did in their discussion.Did they tend to go with those most confident abouttheir estimates?Did they follow those least willing to change their m

41、inds?This happened some of the time,but it wasnt the dominant response.Most frequently,the groups reported that they“shared arguments andreasoned together.”Somehow,these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error.Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many ques

42、tions remain the potentialimplications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.32.What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?A.The methods of estimation.B.The underlying logic of the effect.C.The causes of peoples errors.D.The design of Galtons experiment.33.Navajas study found that

43、the average accuracy could increase even if _.A.the crowds were relatively small B.there were occasional underestimatesC.individuals did not communicate D.estimates were not fully independent34.What did the follow-up study focus on?A.The size of the groups.B.The dominant members.C.The discussion pro

44、cess.D.The individual estimates.35.What is the authors attitude toward Navajas studies?A.Unclear.B.Dismissive.C.Doubtful.D.Approving.第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5 分）分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两个选项为多余选项。阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两个选项为多余选项。It is often a complex and tiring

46、ems-standing classrooms.Over the last few years,a number of studies have shown that the benefits of the increased range ofmovements students experience when using standing desks are surprisingly broad.38_ Besides,standing desks encourage higher levels of teamwork and participation among students.Sta

47、nding desks also helpto reduce the risk of some diseases.They can help to prevent fatness,heart disease and low spirits.Sedentary(久坐的）lifestyles are a major reason why teenagers suffer from poor mental health,while higher activity levelsreduce the chances of a child experiencing such an illness.The

48、benefits of bringing standing desks into classrooms are obvious.39_Otherwise theywill likely hurt their muscles when standing for a long time.Standing desks usually offer a full range ofmotion,which includes the option to sit or lean(倾斜身体）without losing eye-level of the rest of theclass,and that ful

49、l range of motion is important.Sitting isnt horrible.It isnt a thing we should never do.The problem is that we do it too much,andso do our children,which makes children less likely to succeed and keep healthy.40_A.It is time for us to stand up to stay healthy.B.But it is important for children to us

50、e them gradually.C.Children spend most of their school day sitting at desks.D.Thus its necessary to break up the sitting with standing desks.E.Something as cheap as a desk could be making a major difference.F.Right now there is something we can do easily to keep our children healthy.G.For example,th
