At Sh Farm in nrthern Vermnt, farmers Melissa Hffman and Shawn Smith wrk hand in hand with the land and its inhabitants, and amng them are hundreds f ducks. The ducks at Sh Farm are nt being raised t be killed fr fd. Rather, they are naturally invlved in farming peratins, helping t manage pests and add fertilizer (肥料) t the sil.
In the beginning, Hffman, wh has a backgrund in rganic farming and eclgy actin, wrked with eclgists and bilgists t survey the plants and wildlife all arund the area. This was “t understand wh was living here, s that everything we did was in relatinship t the life already here,” he says.
S, at Sh Farm, fcus is placed n living harmniusly alngside ther life and wrking with traditinal eclgical knwledge. Fd is seen nt as a cmmdity (商品) but as a relatinship with land and life.
The methds f fd prductin at Sh Farm, as well as the farmers’ philsphy f wrking with rather than against nature, are in sharp cntrast t mst mdern agricultural systems. And that’s the pint. “We’ve been talking a lt abut the brken fd system and the cnsequences f it t the envirnment, t wildlife, t the animals in animal agriculture and t human health,” says Hffman, adding that it’s nt just the fd system that’s brken. “It’s the relatinship between humans, nn-human animals, land and nature.”
The ducks play a vital, integrated rle n the farm, explains Hffman, by naturally prviding pest cntrl, fertilizer and (fuel-free) land maintenance (维护), just as by-prducts f their existence. “We nticed where we summered grups f ducks and parts f the fd system that were nt ding very well. The fllwing year, the fd system was efficiently imprved,” he says.
It’s a symbitic relatinship that wrks well. “Animals dn’t have t be part f a farm in a cmmdity sense. They can be part f the farm as a partner,” Hffman says. “They are wnderful partners.”
8. Why did Hffman d a survey in the beginning?
A. T get familiar with the surrundings.
B. T have a gd relatinship with ther peple.
C. T live in harmny with ther life n the farm.
D. T have a gd understanding f rganic farming.
9. What des the authr intend t explain in paragraph 4?
A. The causes f the brken fd system.
B. The reasns fr Hffman’s farming methds.
C. The changes in mdern agricultural systems.
D. The prcess f fd prductin at Sh Farm.
10. What des “a symbitic relatinship” in the last paragraph imply?
A. Animals are treated well at Sh Farm.
B. Animals are nt t be sld fr mney.
C. Peple and animals play the same rle in rganic farming.
D. Peple and animals wrk tgether and benefit each ther.
11. Which f the fllwing best describes the farming at Sh Farm?
A. Efficient.B. Mdern.C. Natural.D. Ecnmical.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是在佛蒙特州北部的Sh Farm的一种农业经营方式，该农场里的鸭子自然地参与农业经营之中。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This was “t understand wh was living here, s that everything we did was in relatinship t the life already here,” he says.(他说，这是为了“了解谁住在这里，这样我们所做的一切都与已经在这里的生命有关。”)”可知，一开始Hffman做调查的目的是了解谁住在这里，他们所做的一切与这里的生命相关，也就是说他们是为了与农场上的其他生命和谐相处。故选C项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段的“The methds f fd prductin at Sh Farm, as well as the farmers’ philsphy f wrking with rather than against nature, are in sharp cntrast t mst mdern agricultural systems. And that’s the pint. “We’ve been talking a lt abut the brken fd system and the cnsequences f it t the envirnment, t wildlife, t the animals in animal agriculture and t human health,” says Hffman, adding that it’s nt just the fd system that’s brken. “It’s the relatinship between humans, nn-human animals, land and nature.”(Sh Farm的食品生产方法，以及农民们顺应自然而非违背自然的理念，与大多数现代农业体系形成鲜明对比。这就是问题的关键。霍夫曼说:“我们一直在谈论破碎的食物系统，以及它对环境、野生动物、畜牧业动物和人类健康的影响。”他补充说，不仅仅是食物系统出了问题。“这是人类、非人类动物、土地和自然之间的关系。”)”可知，Sh Farm的食品生产方法与现代的农业体系形成对比，这就是问题的关键，结合下文中所讲述的现代的农业体系中存在的问题可知，本段主要是分析了霍夫曼耕作方法的原因。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的““Animals dn’t have t be part f a farm in a cmmdity sense. They can be part f the farm as a partner,” Hffman says. “They are wnderful partners.”(“从商品的角度来看，动物不一定是农场的一部分。他们可以作为合作伙伴成为农场的一部分，”霍夫曼说。“他们是很好的合作伙伴。”)” 霍夫曼认为，动物可以作为合作伙伴成为农场的一部分，也就是说人类可以与动物一起合作，互惠互利，这就是共生的意义。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“The ducks at Sh Farm are nt being raised t be killed fr fd. Rather, they are naturally invlved in farming peratins, helping t manage pests and add fertilizer (肥料) t the sil.( Sh Farm的鸭子并不是为了宰杀而饲养的。相反，它们自然地参与农业经营，帮助管理害虫和向土壤施肥。)”可知，鸭子参与到农业经营中，帮助管理害虫和向土壤施肥，结合倒数第二段中的“The ducks play a vital, integrated rle n the farm, explains Hffman, by naturally prviding pest cntrl, fertilizer and (fuel-free) land maintenance (维护), just as by-prducts f their existence.(霍夫曼解释说，鸭子在农场中发挥着至关重要的综合作用，它们自然地提供了害虫防治、肥料和(无燃料)土地维护，就像它们存在的副产品一样。)”可知，鸭子在Sh Farm上起着至关重要的作用，他们自然地提供了害虫防治、废料和土地维护，由此可知，“自然的”可以描述在Sh Farm上的农业经营。故选C项。
D
Scial scientists have lng understd that when peple are smart and skilled, they’re likely t gain trust. T appear mre capable — and therefre mre trustwrthy — many peple tend t bast (吹嘘), accrding t anther lngstanding thery that researchers call impressin management. But a new paper suggests that the cmmn methd peple use t gain trust culd have the ppsite effect.
“If yu cnsider yurself a highly capable individual, have a gd educatin, are successful in life, then dn’t talk t prudly abut it when presenting yurself t thers r managing impressins abut what yu can d,” said Martin Reimann, the paper’s lead authr. “It can backfire, and peple might becme distrusting.”
“Since impressin management is s widespread, we wndered hw it impacts the well-knwn effect f ability n trust,” Reimann said.
T answer the questin, the researchers designed seven nline experiments cncerning participants’ trust. In ne experiment, fr example, participants shpped fr a TV in an nline marketplace, similar t Amazn, with third-party vendrs (销售商). Custmer reviews with star ratings tld participants hw capable r cmpetent vendrs were, and each vendr’s ad either did r did nt include a bastful statement f self-prmtin.
Designing seven studies, Reimann said, allwed the researchers t reach mre peple and explre a range f variables that might affect smene’s willingness t trust. There were mre than 106,000 participants acrss all seven studies.
The experiments shwed that participants were mre likely, unsurprisingly, t trust peple r cmpanies that appeared mre capable. But every study als shwed that highly capable peple r cmpanies were viewed as less trustwrthy if they als bastfully prmted themselves.
“We see trust as a central cncept that hlds tgether sciety,” Reimann added. “If we dn’t trust each ther, then a lt f prcesses culd cme t a standstill. It’s imprtant t understand what it is in the first place that leads peple t trust each ther, and hw we can encurage that at different levels f sciety. That’s what we want t further uncver.”
12. Accrding t the text, what d many peple d by impressin management?
A. Make themselves seem mre imprtant.B. Remind thers that basting will lse trust.
C. Shw what their impressin f smene is.D. Prve that they have becme mre capable.
13. Which f the fllwing in the experiment was cnnected with basting?
A. A TV.B. Participants.C. Vendrs.D. Custmer reviews.
14. What will the researchers’ future study fcus n?
A. The bad effects f basting.B. Peple’s views n basting.
C. Prmtin f trust amng peple.D. Different levels f trust in sciety.
15. What is the main idea f the text?
A. Peple need t be able t trust each ther.B. Basting culd make peple trust yu less.
C. Peple’s trust depends n hw hnest yu are.D. Being gd at yur jb helps yu t gain trust.
【答案】12 A 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项研究发现，人们用来获得信任的常用方法可能会产生相反的效果。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中的“T appear mre capable — and therefre mre trustwrthy — many peple tend t bast (吹嘘), accrding t anther lngstanding thery that researchers call impressin management.(根据另一个研究人员称之为印象管理的长期理论，为了显得更有能力——从而更值得信赖——许多人倾向于自夸。)”可知，通过印象管理，人们是为了让自己显得更有能力，从而更值得信赖，由此可知，人们通过印象管理是使自己看起来更重要。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Custmer reviews with star ratings tld participants hw capable r cmpetent vendrs were, and each vendr’s ad either did r did nt include a bastful statement f self-prmtin.(带有星级的顾客评论告诉参与者销售商的能力或能力如何，每个销售商的广告要么包含或不包含自我推销的吹嘘声明。)”可知，在实验中，每个销售商的广告中有的包含自我推销的吹嘘声明，有的不包含自我推销的吹嘘声明，所以，与吹嘘有关系的应该是销售商。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“If we dn’t trust each ther, then a lt f prcesses culd cme t a standstill. It’s imprtant t understand what it is in the first place that leads peple t trust each ther, and hw we can encurage that at different levels f sciety. That’s what we want t further uncver.(如果我们不相互信任，那么很多进程可能会停滞不前。重要的是首先要了解是什么导致人们相互信任，以及我们如何在社会的不同层面鼓励这一点。这就是我们想要进一步揭示的。)”可知，Reimann认为，要想人们之间相互信任就要了解什么导致人们之间的相互信任，以及我们如何在不同层面鼓励人们之间的相互信任，这是他们要进一步揭示的内容，所以，接下来研究者们要研究的重点是增进人与人之间的相互信任。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“T appear mre capable — and therefre mre trustwrthy — many peple tend t bast (吹嘘), accrding t anther lngstanding thery that researchers call impressin management. But a new paper suggests that the cmmn methd peple use t gain trust culd have the ppsite effect.(根据另一个研究人员称之为印象管理的长期理论，为了显得更有能力——从而更值得信赖——许多人倾向于自夸。但一篇新的论文表明，人们用来获得信任的常用方法可能会产生相反的效果。)”可知，研究发现有能力的人更值得信任，但是新的研究发现，通过自夸的方式去获得信任反而产生相反的效果，结合下文中对该研究的进一步介绍和分析可知，本文主要讲述的是自夸可能会使得人们对你的信任减少。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款免费的鸟类识别程序，介绍了其功能以及听鸟鸣的好处。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：最近我给手机安装的最有用、最能带来快乐的应用程序可能是Merlin，这是康奈尔大学鸟类学实验室开发的一款免费的鸟类识别程序。分析句子结构可知create与逻辑主语a free bird identificatin prgram构成被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故填created。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这款应用提供了许多功能，我最喜欢的是鸟鸣收听功能，你可以打开手机的麦克风，听到各种鸟鸣的录音。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词the birdsng listening feature，在从句中作地点状语，故用where。故填where。

【39题详解】

【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：我也喜欢听到不同的叫声出现在同一物种中，这是鸟类相互交流的证据。表示“同一”短语为the same。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：当我听到鸟鸣时，我所感受到的平静、幸福和快乐的感觉是有研究支持的。主语与谓语构成被动关系，且陈述客观事实用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为The sense f calm, well-being and pleasure，谓语用单数。故填is supprted。
【42题详解】
考查比较级。句意：一项研究调查了26个欧洲国家的2.6万人，发现住在各种鸟类栖息地附近的人生活满意度明显更高。此处将住在各种鸟类栖息地附近的人和没有住在各种鸟类栖息地附近的人相比较，high应用比较级形式。故填higher。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：一个有趣的发现是，看到多于10%的鸟类种类产生的满足感与收入的可比增长相似。作从句的主语，see应用动名词形式。故填seeing。
【44题详解】
考查动词。句意：所以，当你在户外散步或徒步旅行时，听听与你共享空间的鸟类的叫声。此处主句为肯定祈使句，句首动词用原形。故填listen。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：也许你会受到这句中国谚语的启发：“心中有绿树，或有飞鸟鸣。”结合前后文语境可知为并列关系，应用连词and。故填and。

At Sh Farm in nrthern Vermnt, farmers Melissa Hffman and Shawn Smith wrk hand in hand with the land and its inhabitants, and amng them are hundreds f ducks. The ducks at Sh Farm are nt being raised t be killed fr fd. Rather, they are naturally invlved in farming peratins, helping t manage pests and add fertilizer (肥料) t the sil.
In the beginning, Hffman, wh has a backgrund in rganic farming and eclgy actin, wrked with eclgists and bilgists t survey the plants and wildlife all arund the area. This was “t understand wh was living here, s that everything we did was in relatinship t the life already here,” he says.
S, at Sh Farm, fcus is placed n living harmniusly alngside ther life and wrking with traditinal eclgical knwledge. Fd is seen nt as a cmmdity (商品) but as a relatinship with land and life.
The methds f fd prductin at Sh Farm, as well as the farmers’ philsphy f wrking with rather than against nature, are in sharp cntrast t mst mdern agricultural systems. And that’s the pint. “We’ve been talking a lt abut the brken fd system and the cnsequences f it t the envirnment, t wildlife, t the animals in animal agriculture and t human health,” says Hffman, adding that it’s nt just the fd system that’s brken. “It’s the relatinship between humans, nn-human animals, land and nature.”
The ducks play a vital, integrated rle n the farm, explains Hffman, by naturally prviding pest cntrl, fertilizer and (fuel-free) land maintenance (维护), just as by-prducts f their existence. “We nticed where we summered grups f ducks and parts f the fd system that were nt ding very well. The fllwing year, the fd system was efficiently imprved,” he says.
It’s a symbitic relatinship that wrks well. “Animals dn’t have t be part f a farm in a cmmdity sense. They can be part f the farm as a partner,” Hffman says. “They are wnderful partners.”
8. Why did Hffman d a survey in the beginning?
A. T get familiar with the surrundings.
B. T have a gd relatinship with ther peple.
C. T live in harmny with ther life n the farm.
D. T have a gd understanding f rganic farming.
9. What des the authr intend t explain in paragraph 4?
A. The causes f the brken fd system.
B. The reasns fr Hffman’s farming methds.
C. The changes in mdern agricultural systems.
D. The prcess f fd prductin at Sh Farm.
10. What des “a symbitic relatinship” in the last paragraph imply?
A. Animals are treated well at Sh Farm.
B. Animals are nt t be sld fr mney.
C. Peple and animals play the same rle in rganic farming.
D. Peple and animals wrk tgether and benefit each ther.
11. Which f the fllwing best describes the farming at Sh Farm?
A. Efficient.B. Mdern.C. Natural.D. Ecnmical.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是在佛蒙特州北部的Sh Farm的一种农业经营方式，该农场里的鸭子自然地参与农业经营之中。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This was “t understand wh was living here, s that everything we did was in relatinship t the life already here,” he says.(他说，这是为了“了解谁住在这里，这样我们所做的一切都与已经在这里的生命有关。”)”可知，一开始Hffman做调查的目的是了解谁住在这里，他们所做的一切与这里的生命相关，也就是说他们是为了与农场上的其他生命和谐相处。故选C项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段的“The methds f fd prductin at Sh Farm, as well as the farmers’ philsphy f wrking with rather than against nature, are in sharp cntrast t mst mdern agricultural systems. And that’s the pint. “We’ve been talking a lt abut the brken fd system and the cnsequences f it t the envirnment, t wildlife, t the animals in animal agriculture and t human health,” says Hffman, adding that it’s nt just the fd system that’s brken. “It’s the relatinship between humans, nn-human animals, land and nature.”(Sh Farm的食品生产方法，以及农民们顺应自然而非违背自然的理念，与大多数现代农业体系形成鲜明对比。这就是问题的关键。霍夫曼说:“我们一直在谈论破碎的食物系统，以及它对环境、野生动物、畜牧业动物和人类健康的影响。”他补充说，不仅仅是食物系统出了问题。“这是人类、非人类动物、土地和自然之间的关系。”)”可知，Sh Farm的食品生产方法与现代的农业体系形成对比，这就是问题的关键，结合下文中所讲述的现代的农业体系中存在的问题可知，本段主要是分析了霍夫曼耕作方法的原因。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的““Animals dn’t have t be part f a farm in a cmmdity sense. They can be part f the farm as a partner,” Hffman says. “They are wnderful partners.”(“从商品的角度来看，动物不一定是农场的一部分。他们可以作为合作伙伴成为农场的一部分，”霍夫曼说。“他们是很好的合作伙伴。”)” 霍夫曼认为，动物可以作为合作伙伴成为农场的一部分，也就是说人类可以与动物一起合作，互惠互利，这就是共生的意义。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“The ducks at Sh Farm are nt being raised t be killed fr fd. Rather, they are naturally invlved in farming peratins, helping t manage pests and add fertilizer (肥料) t the sil.( Sh Farm的鸭子并不是为了宰杀而饲养的。相反，它们自然地参与农业经营，帮助管理害虫和向土壤施肥。)”可知，鸭子参与到农业经营中，帮助管理害虫和向土壤施肥，结合倒数第二段中的“The ducks play a vital, integrated rle n the farm, explains Hffman, by naturally prviding pest cntrl, fertilizer and (fuel-free) land maintenance (维护), just as by-prducts f their existence.(霍夫曼解释说，鸭子在农场中发挥着至关重要的综合作用，它们自然地提供了害虫防治、肥料和(无燃料)土地维护，就像它们存在的副产品一样。)”可知，鸭子在Sh Farm上起着至关重要的作用，他们自然地提供了害虫防治、废料和土地维护，由此可知，“自然的”可以描述在Sh Farm上的农业经营。故选C项。

Scial scientists have lng understd that when peple are smart and skilled, they’re likely t gain trust. T appear mre capable — and therefre mre trustwrthy — many peple tend t bast (吹嘘), accrding t anther lngstanding thery that researchers call impressin management. But a new paper suggests that the cmmn methd peple use t gain trust culd have the ppsite effect.
“If yu cnsider yurself a highly capable individual, have a gd educatin, are successful in life, then dn’t talk t prudly abut it when presenting yurself t thers r managing impressins abut what yu can d,” said Martin Reimann, the paper’s lead authr. “It can backfire, and peple might becme distrusting.”
“Since impressin management is s widespread, we wndered hw it impacts the well-knwn effect f ability n trust,” Reimann said.
T answer the questin, the researchers designed seven nline experiments cncerning participants’ trust. In ne experiment, fr example, participants shpped fr a TV in an nline marketplace, similar t Amazn, with third-party vendrs (销售商). Custmer reviews with star ratings tld participants hw capable r cmpetent vendrs were, and each vendr’s ad either did r did nt include a bastful statement f self-prmtin.
Designing seven studies, Reimann said, allwed the researchers t reach mre peple and explre a range f variables that might affect smene’s willingness t trust. There were mre than 106,000 participants acrss all seven studies.
The experiments shwed that participants were mre likely, unsurprisingly, t trust peple r cmpanies that appeared mre capable. But every study als shwed that highly capable peple r cmpanies were viewed as less trustwrthy if they als bastfully prmted themselves.
“We see trust as a central cncept that hlds tgether sciety,” Reimann added. “If we dn’t trust each ther, then a lt f prcesses culd cme t a standstill. It’s imprtant t understand what it is in the first place that leads peple t trust each ther, and hw we can encurage that at different levels f sciety. That’s what we want t further uncver.”
12. Accrding t the text, what d many peple d by impressin management?
A. Make themselves seem mre imprtant.B. Remind thers that basting will lse trust.
C. Shw what their impressin f smene is.D. Prve that they have becme mre capable.
13. Which f the fllwing in the experiment was cnnected with basting?
A. A TV.B. Participants.C. Vendrs.D. Custmer reviews.
14. What will the researchers’ future study fcus n?
A. The bad effects f basting.B. Peple’s views n basting.
C. Prmtin f trust amng peple.D. Different levels f trust in sciety.
15. What is the main idea f the text?
A. Peple need t be able t trust each ther.B. Basting culd make peple trust yu less.
C. Peple’s trust depends n hw hnest yu are.D. Being gd at yur jb helps yu t gain trust.
【答案】12 A 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项研究发现，人们用来获得信任的常用方法可能会产生相反的效果。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中的“T appear mre capable — and therefre mre trustwrthy — many peple tend t bast (吹嘘), accrding t anther lngstanding thery that researchers call impressin management.(根据另一个研究人员称之为印象管理的长期理论，为了显得更有能力——从而更值得信赖——许多人倾向于自夸。)”可知，通过印象管理，人们是为了让自己显得更有能力，从而更值得信赖，由此可知，人们通过印象管理是使自己看起来更重要。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Custmer reviews with star ratings tld participants hw capable r cmpetent vendrs were, and each vendr’s ad either did r did nt include a bastful statement f self-prmtin.(带有星级的顾客评论告诉参与者销售商的能力或能力如何，每个销售商的广告要么包含或不包含自我推销的吹嘘声明。)”可知，在实验中，每个销售商的广告中有的包含自我推销的吹嘘声明，有的不包含自我推销的吹嘘声明，所以，与吹嘘有关系的应该是销售商。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“If we dn’t trust each ther, then a lt f prcesses culd cme t a standstill. It’s imprtant t understand what it is in the first place that leads peple t trust each ther, and hw we can encurage that at different levels f sciety. That’s what we want t further uncver.(如果我们不相互信任，那么很多进程可能会停滞不前。重要的是首先要了解是什么导致人们相互信任，以及我们如何在社会的不同层面鼓励这一点。这就是我们想要进一步揭示的。)”可知，Reimann认为，要想人们之间相互信任就要了解什么导致人们之间的相互信任，以及我们如何在不同层面鼓励人们之间的相互信任，这是他们要进一步揭示的内容，所以，接下来研究者们要研究的重点是增进人与人之间的相互信任。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“T appear mre capable — and therefre mre trustwrthy — many peple tend t bast (吹嘘), accrding t anther lngstanding thery that researchers call impressin management. But a new paper suggests that the cmmn methd peple use t gain trust culd have the ppsite effect.(根据另一个研究人员称之为印象管理的长期理论，为了显得更有能力——从而更值得信赖——许多人倾向于自夸。但一篇新的论文表明，人们用来获得信任的常用方法可能会产生相反的效果。)”可知，研究发现有能力的人更值得信任，但是新的研究发现，通过自夸的方式去获得信任反而产生相反的效果，结合下文中对该研究的进一步介绍和分析可知，本文主要讲述的是自夸可能会使得人们对你的信任减少。故选B项。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：最近我给手机安装的最有用、最能带来快乐的应用程序可能是Merlin，这是康奈尔大学鸟类学实验室开发的一款免费的鸟类识别程序。分析句子结构可知create与逻辑主语a free bird identificatin prgram构成被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故填created。

【42题详解】
考查比较级。句意：一项研究调查了26个欧洲国家的2.6万人，发现住在各种鸟类栖息地附近的人生活满意度明显更高。此处将住在各种鸟类栖息地附近的人和没有住在各种鸟类栖息地附近的人相比较，high应用比较级形式。故填higher。
