1、Native Tribes Celebrate Montana Land Ownership and Bison Range (野牛牧场) Restoration Moiese,Mont. — A narrow road takes visitors zig-zagging up a mountain,and,if they're lucky,they'll see bison walking about freely.The bison range sits on more than 18,000 acres of undeveloped land in northwest Montana — land ①______(take) by the U.S. Government without the approval of Salish and Kootenai Tribes.In 2020,Congress passed a law ②______ management of the land is transferred from the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service back to Salish and Kootenai Tribes.
U.S.Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, ③______ signed off on the law last year,said with the loss of tribal homelands in the early 1900s and decrease of bison herds,tribes lost traditional connections with the mammal. "But ④______ that tragedy and loss,we are still here.You are still here.And that's ⑤______ to celebrate," She said the people then relied on bison for food and livelihood,believing future generations would do the same.
"We all know history took a cruel and tragic turn after that," Haaland said,and the tribes didn't believe that the history ⑥______( represent) accurately at the bison range's visitor center.Whisper Camel-Means,the tribes division manager for the wildlife refuge,said under the Fish and Wildlife Service supervision,the exhibits there previously used a different tribes' word for bison,which they ⑦______ not accept.
The Salish and Kootenai Tribes have corrected inaccuracies at the visitor center located on the Flathead reservation near the museum.The visitor center is now open, ⑧______( feature) new exhibits that better reflect the tribes' involvement in bison conservation.Stephanie Gillin,education program manager for the tribes' natural resources program,said she worked with cultural committees to get the correct history for the new exhibits. "We listen to our elders about some stuff we have to protect ⑨______ if we don't put it out there,we lose what it gives to us — you know,we lost that power it gives us," she said.
The generational emotional wound,Gillin said,is still felt today within tribal communities and correcting the information at the visitor center is about respecting and preserving the tribes' history.
The tribes are working to build a ⑩______(big) museum that will be closer to U.S.Highway 93.It's a push to share their history with more people.

Plant-based Milk There are nutritional differences between types of milk,from oat to soy to cow's.Plant-based milks have been growing in ①______ for years,but the nutritional content of different milks and milk alternatives vary,with disagreements between brands too.The global dairy alternatives market is ②______ to grow from ﹩22.25 billion in 2021 to ﹩53.97 billion in 2028,according to a report by Fortune Business Insights.In February 2022,the world's first potato milk launched in the UK,which bills itself as "the most ③______ plant-based dairy alternative on the market."
While some people choose dairy alternatives,cow's milk is an excellent ④______ of calcium,protein,and vitamin D.It's also working better than water when people feel thirsty,according to a small study by St Andrews University in Scotland.However,some people stay away from dairy because of intolerance of the mouthfeel or environmental concerns,and for some,the ⑤______ factor is health.Nutritional reports of milks vary,with some offering more fiber,fat,protein,carbs,sugar,and calories than others.
Dietitians recommend choosing fortified plant-based milks.Plant-based milks are not ⑥______ "healthier" than dairy,and when following a plant-based diet,dietitians recommend ensuring your dairy-free milk alternatives are fortified with essential vitamins and minerals. "Fortified means that they are added by the manufacturer and so will be on the ingredients list,or advertised on the front," dietitian Nichola Ludlam-Raine ⑦______ told .
"Choose milk alternatives that are fortified with vitamins such as vitamin B12 and vitamin D,in addition to the minerals calcium and iodine," she said.The ⑧______content of milk varies in terms of protein,carbs,and fiber.Cow's milk,for example,contains lots of calcium and vitamin D,as well as protein.Soy milk is often fortified with calcium,and is also high in protein.For the purpose of this ⑨______,Insider selected popular brands of each milk,selecting ⑩______ options wherever possible,per cup.Here's some nutritional information on our website to bear in mind when choosing which milk to have in your coffee,on your cereal,or alongside a cookie.
三、完形填空(15空)
It was thought that Microbes(细菌)in sediments — solid material that settles at the bottom of a liquid beneath the seafloor died above 80°C,but scientists have found some that can survive up to 120°C and possibly higher temperatures.The discovery shows that life in seafloor sediments can survive higher temperatures than previously thought.
"I would think that wherever there's energy that can be exploited by microorganisms, 1 find(s) a way." says Tina Treude at the University of California,Los Angeles.It is possible that there is life at even higher temperatures. "The only way to find out is to go back and 2 deeper," she says,though in lab experiments so far,no microbes have been found to grow above 122°C.
The researchers were also able to 3 out and count cells using a special device.Together,the findings show that relatively few cells survive at these temperatures,but those that do have very high metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates. "It was astonishingly high," says Treude.
This surprised the team because it is the 4 of what has been found in shallower sediments,where it is much colder.Microbes are 5 there,but their metabolisms are extremely slow and individual microbes might live for millions of years.At 120°C,the heat is doing a lot of damage to cells,so microbes may need high metabolisms to generate enough energy to repair this damage.It is a(n) 6 to stay alive,says Treude.
It isn't clear what these heat-loving,or thermophilic,microbes are,as the team was unable to 7 their DNA.Nor is it clear how they came to be in the sediments,given that this would have been a very cold environment for a long time after the sediments that the samples came from were first 8 .
However,a few thermophilic microbes would have been present when the sediments were deposited,and they may have somehow 9 until temperatures began to rise due to being 10 under more material,says team member Felix Beulig at Aarhus University in Denmark.
As the temperatures rose,all the microbes that weren't 11 of heat would gradually have died off,says team member Florian Schubert at the German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam. "The microbes that cannot 12 ,they just die," he says.
Patrick Forterre at the Pasteur Institute in Paris says that while there are 13 results showing microbe growth at 106°C,nobody has been able to exactly copy the two lab studies claiming growth at 122°C. "It's very difficult to 14 the upper temperature limit," he says.
He is therefore 15 of the idea of microbes living normally at 120°C,but he does think it is possible that they could somehow survive and became active again at lower temperatures.

四、阅读理解
I used to procrastinate (keep leaving things that should be done until later).Years ago,a neighbor kid kicked a football and shattered a small basement window of our house.We were a family of six living on a small salary at the time,so I boarded it up,thinking I'd get to it someday.However,the frame was rusted shut.I couldn't fix it.
Over the years,I'd sometimes get estimates from window companies.The plan was to upgrade to energy-efficient windows for the whole house. ﹩15,000.It was simply out of reach.One contractor explained that whoever replaced it would need to cut and shape by hand,a labor-intensive and expensive process.
Honestly,the thought of that window ate at me for years.Every time I went down there,every time I went to the hardware store,it kept troubling me.I knew I needed to address it,but I had built up the process (and the price) so much in my mind that I was unable to act.
Then my wife had a job change,and we needed to move.A potential buyer couldn't get a loan on the property if there was a broken window.So I pulled off the boards to face this thing head-on.It had been at least 5 years.
I grabbed some rust remover,sprayed all around the rusted frame,and gave it a strong pull.To my astonishment,it moved for the first time.I pulled the window out and took it downtown.It was a ﹩12 fix.
I could have fixed the problem for ﹩12 the same day it happened.But I let it haunt me for years,shutting out light and letting in bugs.It didn't need to be the most efficient.It just needed to be a window.
OK,this isn't really about my window.I mean the story is true,but it's also a decent fable.Many of us,especially those with anxiety,tend to live with broken windows of one type or another for years.
After I posted my story online,many shared their stories with me.One commented, "This reminded me of a statement,'We suffer more in imagination than in reality.'" Another responded, "This is why my business partner tells me, ‘Perfect is the enemy of done.'"
Step forward,and you'll find a solution.

When Carolyn Kurle first visited Alaska's Hawadax Island,then known as Rat Island,she immediately noticed the silence. "When you're on an island that's never had rats,it's just like birds everywhere — it's really loud," she says. "So when you get to an island that does have rats,you really notice because it's versus quiet."
Nowadays Hawadax is once again a noisy place.Roughly a decade after a successful effort to rid the island of its predatory rodents (捕食性啮齿动物),a mass of seabirds has returned.And the benefits have extended across the island's entire seashore ecosystem,which is again full of diverse life.These findings,published in Scientific Reports,show that certain ecosystems can recover with surprising speed if given the chance.
"This study is an example of something positive that can happen when we humans take action to clean up after ourselves," says Kurle,who is lead author of the study and a conservation ecologist at the University of California,San Diego. "It also highlights how everything is interlinked,especially in coastal systems."
The greedy rodents colonized Hawadax after a Japanese shipwreck in the 1780s,and they quickly wiped out seabird communities.Kurle's first findings,published in 2008,showed that the rats affected not just birds but the entire food chain – all the way down to algae (藻类).Without birds to eat seashore invertebrates (无脊椎动物),populations of snails and other species feeding on plants exploded and consumed much of the marine kelp (巨藻),which provides crucial habitat for other organisms. "Certain invasive species can have impacts beyond those that are most obvious," Kurle says.
Those early findings inspired the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service,in partnership with The Nature Conservancy and Island Conservation,to wipe out the rats by dropping poison on Hawadax.Kurle and her colleagues secured funding to survey the island 5 and 11 years after taking the action.They found that its ecosystem had steadily recovered and now resembles that of other Aleutian Islands that were never invaded by rats,with significantly fewer marine invertebrates and much more kelp cover.
"Very few rat-eradication projects have focused on the impact on marine ecosystems,so the Hawadax Island case is really noteworthy," says University of Tennessee,Knoxville,ecologist Daniel Simberloff,who was not involved in the study. "This is a very cool,elegant result from an academic ecology standpoint and,of course,is important in terms of conservation."
25、What does "cacophony" in paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. Silent night. B. Messy beach.
C. Limited space. D. Disagreeable sounds.
26、According to paragraph 4,which of the following can be important for small animals or plants?

A. setting traps and catching rats
B. raising money for follow-up study
C. joining hands with conservation groups
D. comparing Hawadax with other rat-free islands
28、What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Birds and rats cannot co-exist.
B. Rats are invasive species that must be rooted out.
C. Ecosystem is too delicate to restore itself once disturbed.
D. Removing invaders on land can benefit marine populations.

29、How Minecraft is Helping Children with Autism (自闭症)
Like many constructions,it started small.But now thousands of children with autism are making friends and learning social skills by playing a version of online building game Minecraft.
Stuart Duncan got the idea through a popular blog he ran about his own experiences with autism as well as bringing up a son with autism.Other parents with autistic children started telling him that their kids were crazy about a game that let them explore a randomly generated wilderness. ①_______
So,in 2013,Duncan,a web developer in Timmins,Canada,set up a server to run a version of Minecraft exclusively for children with autism and their families.
②_______ The community boasts nearly 7000 members,along with a team of admins to help manage its many activities. "Parents see such a benefit for themselves and their children," says Duncan. "Minecraft strips away the pressures and distractions of the real world."
The server caught the eye of Kate Ringland at the University of California,Irvine. ③_______ "Autcraft" should be looked upon as not just another online community,but as a tool.
④_______ They may struggle to pick up on social cues or understand another person's perspective.Duncan thinks Minecraft removes the pressures typical of the real world where people are actually living in.No noise,no unfamiliar environment,no pressure to track others' facial expressions or worry about eye contact. "With Minecraft,you can really just be yourself," he says. "The social interactions,the relationships,the communication — everything just boils down to you and your keyboard."
A.Now,almost three years later,running "Autcraft" is his full-time job.
B.This is a great way for them to play a game they love,but also have a social experience.
C.Everyday social situations can be challenging for autistic children.
D.She has spent 60 hours inside this virtual world,watching how the kids play and chat to one another.
E. "Autcraft" builds from the interests and passions of people with autism rather than trying to redirect or surprise them.
F.However,despite loving the game,many of the children were being bullied by other players.
六、书面表达
30、Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible.
Plan for Domino Effects on Sustainability Goals Climate change is causing ever-more-extreme events,from storms and droughts to floods and violent windstorms,and these risks interact across many environmental and social systems.A heatwave can spark forest fires,which lead to air pollution.Drought-wrecked harvests can result in food-price unpredictability.
Yet these domino effects are barely considered in most countries' strategies for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.Many countries that are working hard to reach these goals insufficiently consider the impact of extreme weather.Take Germany as an example.Its 2018 strategy on sustainable development runs to 60 pages yet the word ‘disaster' appears only once.There is no analysis of the consequences of an increase in such events.
Although many people are now aware that climate change is making fires,floods,heatwaves and storms more frequent,more severe or both,this knowledge isn't changing policy or research enough.Part of the problem is perception.Future disasters feel unreal to decision-makers,as we've experienced with so many governments' lack of pandemic preparedness,despite years of warning that something similar to COVID-19 was a case of when,not if.Other obstacles are inadequate national and international governance,and communication challenges.The research community has not yet provided effective guidance.
As a consequence,many efforts to achieve the SDGs will,like a house of cards,fall at the first shaking.Our global efforts need to be much more vigorous to the changing and interconnected nature of risk in a warming world.
What now?Researchers must create models that are more understandable and useful to policymakers.When possible,SDG targets and indicators should be redesigned to capture weakness to heatwaves, fires, droughts, floods, hurricanes, mudslides and more. And politicians need to be convinced to invest in precautionary measures and adaptation.
