"A moth (飞蛾) to a flame" is often used to indicate an inescapable attraction, yet it is a strange example of animal behavior that continues to confuse people today. Scientists have raised a number of theories over the years to explain why. One holds that insects flying at night are following their nature to fly toward the brightest spot in their field of vision, which they mistake for the sky. Another suggests that insects are trying to warm themselves with the heat produced by the light. The most popular theory, though, is that insects are confusing lights with the moon or other celestial bodies (天体) that they normally use to navigate (导航).
To find out the real reason, the team carried out a first set of experiments in an insect flight area. The researchers used eight high-speed infrared (红外线) cameras equipped with motion-capture technologies to track 30 insects from three moth and two dragonfly species. They also flew lab-raised insects from six different insect orders that were too small for motion-capture technology, including fruit flies and honeybees, to make sure different insects all showed similar responses to light. Working with co-author Pablo Allen of the Council on International Educational Exchange in Monteverde, Costa Rica, the researchers put heavy cameras, lights and tripods in two field sites to gather behavioral data from insects in the wild.
The team was able to confirm that insects were not beelining to the light but rather circling it as they tilted (倾斜) in an attempt to turn their backs toward it. This behavior, known as a "dorsal light response", normally helps insects to remain in an unchanging path of flight that is properly lined to the horizon (地平线). Artificial light that arrives from a point source causes them to fly in unpredictable patterns as they try to turn their backs to what they are mistaking for the sky.
Now research might have finally solved the mystery mentioned first: artificial light confuses insects' ability to turn themselves to the horizon, confusing their sense of what is up and down and causing them to fly in circles.
(1)、Which theory about a moth to a flame is accepted by most people?A、They follow their nature to fly. B、They are blind to artificial light. C、They mistake artificial light for celestial bodies. D、They are attracted by the warmth of artificial light.(2)、What's the author's purpose in using the figures in paragraph 2?A、To show the study is comprehensive. B、To introduce the purpose of the study. C、To estimate the cost of the research. D、To stress the challenge faced by the researchers.(3)、What does the underlined word "beelining" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A、Flying slowly. B、Sticking. C、Responding. D、Going straight.(4)、What benefit can insects get from "dorsal light response"?A、They can fly beyond the horizon. B、They can follow a steady flight path. C、They can turn their backs toward lights. D、They can circle the light source upside down. -

12、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Climbing, I once thought, was a very manly activity, but as I found my way into this activity, I came to see that something quite different happens on the rock.
Like wild swimming, rock climbing involves you into the landscape. On the rock, I am fully focused. Eyes pay close attention, ears are alert, and hands move across the surface. Unlike walking, where I could happily wander about absent-mindedly, in climbing, attentive observation is essential.
As an arts student studying English literature, I discovered a new type of reading from outdoor climbing. Going out on to the crags (悬崖), I saw how you could learn to read the rocks and develop a vocabulary of physical movements. Good climbers knew how to adjust their bodies on to the stone. Watching them, I wanted to possess that skillful "language".
My progress happened when I worked for the Caingorms National Park Authority.Guiding my explorations into this strange new landscape was Nan Shepherd, a lady too. Unlike the goal-directed mindset of many mountaineers, she is not concerned with peaks or personal achievement. Shepherd sees the mountain as a total environment and she celebrates the Caingorms as a place alive with plants, rocks, animals and elements. Through her generous spirit and my own curiosity, I saw that rock climbing need not be a process of testing oneself against anything. Rather, the intensity of focus could develop a person into another way of being.
Spending so much time in high and st ony places has transformed my view on the world and our place in it. I have come into physical contact with processes that go way beyond the everyday. Working with gravity, geology (地质学), rhythms of weather and deep time, I gain an actual relationship with the earth. This bond lies at the heart of my passion for rock climbing. I return to the rocks, because this is where I feel in contact with our land.
(1)、What does the writer find important in climbing?A、Balance. B、Concentration. C、Determination. D、Perseverance.(2)、What does the writer learn from Nan Shepherd?A、Climbing goes together with nature. B、Every mountain top is within reach. C、The best climber is the one having fun. D、You can not achieve high unless you change.(3)、What does the underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refer to?A、Time. B、Transformation. C、The world. D、My view.(4)、Why does the author like rock climbing?A、It challenges her to compete with men. B、It allows her a unique attitude toward rock. C、It teaches her how to possess a new language. D、It makes her feel connected with the earth. -

The school year was coming to a close, and the air was filled with anticipation for the upcoming annual school fair. Our class had eagerly decided to host a bake sale, with each student ready to contribute their favorite recipes.
Spirits were high. Every spare moment was devoted to perfecting the art of baking, from experimenting with different flavors to mastering the art of cake decorations. Our classroom became a hub of activity, filled with the sweet scent of freshly baked goods and the sound of laughter and chatter.
The day of the fair finally arrived, and our table was beautifully decorated with a mouthwatering baked goods. There were freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, warm and crispy, alongside homemade fruit pies. The attractive scent was irresistible, and it wasn't long before a long line of students and parents formed, their eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
However, as the morning wore on, we couldn't help but notice that the neighboring class's booth(摊位) was appealing to a significantly larger crowd. There was a buzz of excitement surrounding their table, and it was clear that they were onto something special.
Among our class, a sense of healthy competition began to emerge. Sarah, our natural leader, suggested we step up our game. "We need to find out what they're doing differently and improve our booth, " she said with determination. Out of curiosity, we sent our most inquisitive member, Mark, to investigate.
Soon, Mark returned with good news. "They've got a ‘Taste of the World' theme going on over there, " Mark reported. "They're serving up a variety of international desserts, and it's quite the hit!"
We were intrigued by the idea and asked Mark for more details. He went on to explain that the students had gone the extra mile by dressing up in traditional costumes from the countries they were representing. "It's like a cultural feast for the senses, " he added with enthusiasm.

China launched its complex and ambitious Chang'e-6 mission Friday to collect the first ever samples from the far side of the moon. Eastern (0930 UTC) May 3, carried the (rough) 8, 200-kilogram Chang'e-6 into orbit.
A first second stage burn was completed 12 minutes launch, with a trans-lunar injection(跨月轨道) burn set for around 14 minutes later. Spacecraft (separate) is scheduled for around 37 minutes into flight. If successful, samples (deliver) by the 53-day-long mission could change our understanding of the Earthand the history of the early solar system.
Chang'e-6 is a four-module spacecraft. Its orbiter(人造卫星) will put the mission in lunar orbit, after a lander will detach to land in the Apollo crater on the moon's far side. As the far side of the moon is never visible to Earth, due to our planet slowing the moon's rotation leaving it tidally locked-in a way that relates to the the rise and fall of the sea, a relay satellite is needed for communication between Earth and the moon's hidden side. For this, China (launch) Queqiao-2 in March into a specialized lunar orbit.
After landing, the spacecraft will use a drill and scoop to gather 2, 000 grams of lunar material, reaching down two meters. These samples will (load) into an ascent vehicle that will return to lunar orbit and perform complex, delicate docking(对接) with the orbiter. From here, the samples are sent to a reentry capsule. The orbiter will prepare for the return to Earth. The reentry capsule will be released just prior reaching Earth and will first skip off the planet's atmosphere. This will help it slow it down before landing in Inner Mongolia.

Do you ever find yourself randomly thinking back to the times we wandered, collecting wildflowers and smiling beneath the sky? That feeling is often referred to as nostalgia(怀旧).
Psychologists have defined nostalgia as a self-conscious, social emotion, bittersweet but dominantly positive. It comes from our happy memories and our desire to go back to the past and reconnect with the people we cared about. Often, nostalgia involves sensory stimuli. On some occasions, the smell of autumn leaves might generate a fierce longing for your childhood home. Almost everyone can experience nostalgia, although its object tends to vary throughout life. One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more nostalgia for pets, toys, and holidays than did older people, who felt it more strongly for music.
In contrast to its links to negative emotions, nostalgia doesn't make us sadder. Rather, nostalgia is a defensive response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Research from 2006 shows that nostalgia can actually strengthen social ties, improve self-esteem, and uplift our mood. Other studies suggest that it can also enhance our view of life's meaning, reduce fear of death, boost spirituality, and increase optimism.
Scholars remain uncertain about the precise mechanism behind the effectiveness of nostalgia; however, some suggest that reflecting on joyful memories strengthens our sense of self-worth and belonging, particularly during times of loneliness or self-doubt. Its power lets the happiness of the past overcome the current unpleasantness, offering a bit of escape from tough times. To form stronger connections, we can establish traditions around shared past experiences in families, friend groups, and workplaces. Observing special occasions like childhood sports or post-college meetups can give us something to look forward to.
Perhaps because it is so powerful and complex, nostalgia has received magical treatment from poets and writers. "The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm(领域), beyond the reach of intellect, " Marcel Proust wrote.
(1)、Why does the author mention "autumn leaves" in the second paragraph?A、To illustrate the complexity of nostalgia. B、To emphasize the joyful nature of nostalgia. C、To clarify nostalgia's connection to our senses. D、To stress individual variety of experiencing nostalgia.(2)、What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A、The mismatch betweentwo findings. B、The potential benefits of nostalgia. C、Theimpact of nostalgia on personal mood. D、Themechanisms behind nostalgia's effects.(3)、What does the author suggest us do in paragraph 4?A、Create shared traditions for bonding and joy. B、Record the social gatherings regularly. C、Recognize the unnecessary social gatherings. D、Say no to the concept of escapism.(4)、Which of the following is the best title for the text?A、Nostalgia: Why We Should Avoid Reflecting on the Past B、Nostalgia: A Shelter Against the Unhappiness of Our Life C、A Nostalgia Warning: Our Mental Health Being Attacked D、Power of Nostalgia: Struggling for an Irreplaceable Present
