19、 web knowledge.BA couple carved out a life on a small rock island among the seabirds. The Bass Rock is a small volcanic island just off the east coast of Scotland. Remarkable in the Scottish imagination for its landform and location in the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh, the island has had a thin and

20、 intermittent(断断续续)human population across the centuries. Its most notable and sustained inhabitants are the northern gannets that have lived on the island throughout recorded history. With a population of roughly 150,000 birds, their home is the largest in the world. The English naturalist June Nel

21、son is one of the few people who have lived on the Bass Rock. For three years in the early 1960s. she and her late husband, the ornithologist Bryan Nelson. who was researching gannets at the University of Oxford, made the island their temporary home. Living and working out of a small church, they de

22、voted themselves to observing and recording the behaviors and ecology of the birds. The then-newly-married had little contact with the outside world, but led a happy life together. In the short documentary Life on the Rocks, Nelson revisits her full and focused years on the Bass Rock. Combining cine

23、matic black-and-white shots of the island with music. the UK director George Pretty creates a vivid account of Nelsons unforgettable time there, as well as her emotional return. Mining Nelsons memories and old photographs, the film explores how the husband-and-wife team found happiness on this uniqu

24、e patch of Earth, and among its many birds. But, more than just a fondness for the past, Nelson communicates an urgency to protect the plummeting(暴跌)global sea-bird population, which has declined by 70% in her lifetime, asking “What right have we to deprive(剥夺)future generations of this wonderful pl

25、ace?”4. What do we know about the Bass Rock from Paragraph 1?A. It is owned by a couple.B. It is heavily populated.C. It is gannets largest habitat.D. It is famous for its scenery.5. Why did June Nelson live on the island?A. To research birds.B. To make their home.C. To live a happy life.D. To stay

26、away from the outside.6. What does Life on the Rocks intend to tell us?A. Nelsons research about the birds.B. The couples fondness for the past.C. Nelsons description of the island.D. Nelsons concerns about the birds situation.7. Which best describes the couples life on the island?A. Tough but worth

27、while.B. Dangerous but admirable.C. Smooth and fruitful.D. Inspiring and lucky.CIf you ask most people whether they like having more choices, the answer will be yes. But when it comes to sales, a large selection can actually hurt the sellers income. Although people like choice, they become overwhelm

28、ed (不知所措) by it. Hicks Law perfectly proves this. It states that there is a measurable increase in how long it takes somebody to make a decision as the number of options that are available goes up. That delay in decision-making can prove damaging on an online shopping site because it tends to result

29、 in users giving up. They are paralyzed by the decision, and so, they decide to go away and think about it. That will significantly reduce the number of people who eventually make a purchase. I know it can be hard to convince sellers to limit the variety of products or complex options they offer on

30、their sites, but there is some strong evidence to support your cause. Researchers in California ran an experiment in a local grocery store. They set up a stall (货摊) in the store selling jam. Some days the stall would sell six flavors of jams, while on other days it offered 24 varieties. The results

31、were significant. On days when they sold 24 varieties, they saw a mere four percent sales rate. However, when they offered only six choices, that figure rose to a surprising 31 percent. Limiting choice works. That experiment perfectly shows both the problem and the solution. Despite the evidence, yo

32、u will not always be able to persuade sellers to reduce choice. The next best option is to hide some of those choices. Unlike a stall in a grocery store, we have more flexibility online regarding how products are displayed. We can highlight some options and hide others. For example, you could displa

33、y the best-selling categories of products, while hiding other groupings under something like a “more” option. If you are unable to remove options, you can at least focus clients on the most popular choices.8. What does Hicks Law mainly tell us about more choices?A. They increase product sales.B. The

34、y lead to better decisions.C. They can better satisfy customers.D. They make decision-making harder.9. What does the underlined word “paralyzed” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Attracted.B. Prevented.C. Controlled.D. Encourage10. What do we learn from the experiment in the grocery store?A. More varieties pro

35、duce more profits.B. Fewer varieties attract more customers.C. More varieties reduce running costs.D. Fewer varieties create higher sales rate.11. What does the author advise in the last paragraph?A. Improving product quality.B. Increasing product varieties.C. Avoiding displaying all options.D. Hidi

36、ng the best-selling products.DAs travelers eagerly return to the sky after years of staying closer to home during COVID-19, theyre facing flight delays, cancellations and long lines at airports around the world, mainly because of staff shortages. Now, one American airline is hoping technology will h

37、elp deal with the mess. Alaska Airlines will begin allowing customers to attach electronic tags to their suitcases in hopes of speeding up the airport check-in process and freeing up workers time for other tasks. With the new tags, travelers wont have to wait in line to print baggage tags at the air

38、port. Instead, theyll be able to attach the tag to their baggage at home, and then activate it up to 24 hours before going away through the airlines mobile app. They need to touch the phone to the tag. Once activated, the tag uses e-paper technology to display the guests flight information and a bar

39、 code on its small screen. The bags owner will then be able to leave it at a marked self-drop location at the airport. The equipment does not contain batteries and gets a small amount of energy from the phone used to activate it. Alaska Airlines expects the electronic tags to cut the time travelers

40、spend dropping off their checked bags by 40 percent. “With the new device, the entire check-in process should only take a few minutes. The electronic tags should also help shorten lines at the airport,” Charu Jain, an Alaska Airlines manager, says. Alaska Airlines will firstly provide free tags for

41、about 2,500 frequent fliers, and then the company will make the tags available to all of its loyalty program members in early 2023. The airline does not share the price of the tags; however, theyre listed as starting at around $72 on Bag tags website. Alaska Airlines workers have put the tags to the

42、 test. They stood up well to wear and tear, and airline officials say they could last a lifetime.12. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The situation of American airlines.B. The check-in process at American airports.C. The influence of COVID-19 on Alaska airlines.D. New tags to help solve problems

43、at Alaska airlines.13. How does Charu Jain feel about the electronic tags?A. They can keep suitcases safer.B. They can save time and effort.C. They can reduce flight delays.D. They can give detailed information.14. Who can first get the electronic tags for free?A. Alaska Airlines frequent fliers.B.

44、Loyal program members.C. The workers of Alaska Airlines.D. Alaska Airlines mobile app users.15. Where does this text probably come from?A. A science fiction.B. A tourist book.C. An advertisement.D. A science magazine.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。You might see lon

45、eliness as someone old sits alone, staring into the distance or out of a window. However, such images are misleading. _16_ They are typically surrounded by other people, at school or at work.

46、ifficult experience, it can help us to reconnect and to rethink our relationships so that we can seek out the ones that mean the most to us. _18_ In youth, our friendships are increasingly important in providing us with emotional support. Research indicates that young people have higher demands of t

47、heir friendships than adults do; they show a preference for larger friend groups, more companionship and higher frequency of contact with friends. _19_ That often means changes to values or beliefs. It can be challenging when your friends are going through the same process, but might not follow the

48、same path as you. Young people often report feeling lonely at school, while home is a comfortable space. But there are difficulties sometimes at home such as arguments or tension with family members and the departure of supportive family members. _20_ Even if you find yourself feeling lonely and it

49、seems like nothing is helping, do not give up hope. Start with what you can do on your own and move on to ways to connect with others.A. These can make the feeling of loneliness worse.B. There are certain features of youth that tend to cause loneliness.C. Loneliness serves the function of keeping us

50、 safe in our social world.D Another reason is our developing sense of self-discovering who we are.E. This means we might feel lonely in the company of others if we dont fit in.F. It is most likely that you have not actually found the strategy that works for you.G. Researchers have found those experi
