I never fully understood that stereotype until two months ago, when I left Canada for a 4-month period in a lab in France. On my first day, Pi

17、erre, a Ph. D. student, tapped me on my shoulder and asked: “Coffee?” I nodded and followed him to the common room, where other grad students were filling in. I sat there, cautiously sipping the bitter liquid and trying hard not to reveal my uncultured tastes, while lab chatter filled the air.Coffee

18、 breaks are a ceremonial part of lab culture here. The chatter sometimes turns to serious scientific topics. But mostly, the meet-ups offer a chance to wind down, to share stories about life inside and outside the lab and to sympathize with people who understand what youre going through.The lighthea

19、rted atmosphere and sense of community is a welcome contrast to my life in Canada, where I spent most of my workdays in isolation. I went into the lab each morning with set goals for my day. At lunch, Id keep my eyes glued to my computer while I fed forkfuls of salad into my mouth, trying to power t

20、hrough my to-do list. For 9 months, I struggled to figure out why I couldnt exactly copy the results of another study. I didnt want to trouble my advisor too much.

But I think sharing ideas with my peers would have helped solve my research dil

22、emma. My time in France has taught me that its important to create space for organic conversations about lab life. A scientists life can feel isolating, but its not necessarily so when youre connected to a supportive community.4. How did the author feel when he drank coffee for the first time in Fra

25、ance of a supportive circle.CA BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period of time. A BioBlitz is also known as a biological inventory (清单) or biological census (统计). The primary goal of a BioBlitz is to get an overa

26、ll count of the plants, animals, and other organisms that live in a place.A BioBlitz differs from a scientific inventory in a number of ways. Scientific inventories are usually limited to biologists, geographers, and other scientists. A BioBlitz brings together volunteer scientists, as well as famil

27、ies, students, teachers, and other members of the community. While a scientific survey often focuses on unique or isolated areas, BioBlitzes focus on areas that are connected to residential, urban, and industrial areas. Finally, scientific surveys may take a long period of time to conduct. A BioBlit

28、z lasts a short period of time, traditionally 24 hours.These differences make a BioBlitz a unique biological survey that encourages a relationship between the natural and human communities of a given area. Citizens work alongside scientists to learn about the biological diversity of local natural sp

29、aces. In the process, they gain skills and knowledge and develop a stronger connection to their home environment. A BioBlitz promotes and improves local natural spaces by empowering citizens to better understand and protect biodiversity.Hundreds of BioBlitzes have been conducted all over the world,

30、primarily in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe. The first BioBlitz was sponsored by the National Park Service and the National Biological Service in Washington D.C.s Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens in 1996. Surrounded by heavy residential and industrial development, Kenilworth Par

31、k was thought to have very little biological diversity. Scientists, however, tallied more than 900 species that first year and added even more species to their list at continuous Kenilworth BioBlitzes.8. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 2?A. A BioBlitz either needs much time or sh

32、ort time.B. A BioBlitz centers on unique or isolated areas.C. A BioBlitz needs much fewer people involved.D. A BioBlitz is different from scientific inventories.9. What is the significance of a BioBlitz?A. To get a better understanding of wildlife around the world.B. To give some assistance to the e

33、ndangered animals and plants.C. To increase citizens awareness of protecting the local biodiversity.D. To raise money for the living conditions of the wild animals around.10. What does the underlined word “tallied” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Expected.B. Missed.C. Helped.D. Listed.11. What is

34、the best title for the text?A. Challenges BioBlitzes Will FaceB. BioBlitz, a Unique Biological SurveyC. BioBlitzes and Scientific InventoriesD. The Way a BioBlitz Protects the EnvironmentDAs we enter a period of profound economic uncertainty, shown by recent well-known layoffs and a culture of “quie

35、t quitting”, thinking about the future of work might well seem a scary prospect.Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. For instance, with each exciting new techno

36、logy comes a growing concern about whether we have a digitally skilled workforce ready to take advantage of it. After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business prod

37、uctivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth.Likewise, at the World Economic Forums annual meeting in Davos, the cybersecurity skills gap was named as one particular area of concern. Theres good reason for this focus: if businesses cant protect themselves against externa

38、l threats, they risk going backwards. And thats before they even start thinking about achieving growth. This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently.Well, we should change in order to help attract and keep a more diverse pool of talent, giving businesses a far better chance of find

39、ing the up-to-date digital skills they need. And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to enhance their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers.To make this all happen, leaders and

40、employers must demonstrate a commitment to teaching their workforces digital skills by setting clear expectations and providing all the resources required. One approach, for example, would be to focus on the potential in the existing talent pool by identifying those already skilled in digital capabi

41、lities and supporting them to upskill their colleagues. Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can be an impressive motivator in the workplace.Of course, its all well and good saying that digital skills are paramount, but a workforce with purely hard skills will not fut

42、ure-proof a business. Theres a need for soft skills that support the broader goal, so as not to ignore the other competencies required in a digital transformation: communication, critical thinking, creative design skills, and leadership. To exploit the technology to its full potential, such qualitie

43、s are equally important.Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be vital if businesses are to succeed. As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills not only those experts in math, eng

44、ineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities.12. What is the writers main concern in the digital transformation process?A. The threats from technology.B. The challenge of upskilling workforces.C. The culture of “quiet quitting”.D. The shortage of experienced wor

45、kers.13. What can be learned from Paragraph 4 and 5?A. Replacing current workforces with digital talents is the key.B. High requirements of recruitment ensure a sound workforce.C. Employers should develop a learning culture inside their workforces.D. Business leaders should focus on the training of

46、the existing talent pool.14. What does the underlined word “paramount” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Important.B. Beneficial.C. Challenging.D. Inspiring.15. What might be the purpose of the passage?A. To advocate the necessity of improving digital skills.B. To warn humans of the potential problems

47、 with technology.C. To stress the importance of combining hard skills with soft skills.D. To draw peoples attention to the ever-increasing digital skills gap.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。A Wonder PlantEvery rainy season, the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) of Central Africa

48、 migrate to the foothills and lower parts of the Virunga Mountains to feed on bamboo.

53、tatthey arent strong enough or there arent enough of them, perhaps. But bamboo can take care of itself-it is strong enough to survive if left alone._20_” When forest goes, it is transformed into something else: there isnt anywhere for forest plants such as bamboo to grow if you create a cattle grass

54、 land.A. Sadly, this isnt a single story.B. It is the physical disturbance that is the threat to bamboo.C. Until now, bamboo has been viewed as a second-class plant.D. Without it, their chances of survival would be reduced significantly.E. Besides, bamboos most immediate significance lies in its eco

55、nomic value.F. More than a billion people rely on bamboo for either their shelter or income.G. Despite bamboos value in economy and ecology, its situation is all the more worrying.第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。One summer afternoon,
