　　(2024沈陽東北育才學校高三上學期二模， B)

　　Winter begins in the north on December 22nd.People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the cold months.Squirrels, for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees.Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.

　　They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana.The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut trees.The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels.The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.

　　Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico.The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels.Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way.Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places.But they seldom remember where they buried every nut.So some nuts remain in the ground.Conditions are right for them to develop and grow in the following spring.Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground.Professor Swihart calls “death_traps_for_seeds”．

　　Gray squirrels are native to Indiana.But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture.Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century.

　　The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees.They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana.Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.

　　()1.The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to ________.

　　A．find out the living conditions for squirrels

　　B．do something to get rid of squirrels

　　C．learn squirrels' influence on black walnut trees

　　D．save the forests in the American state of Indiana

　　()2.The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels mainly lies in ________.

　　A．the way they gather the walnuts

　　B．the place they store the walnuts

　　C．the number of the nuts they can collect

　　D．the fact that the gray squirrels have a bad memory

　　()3.When Professor Swihart says “death traps for seeds”， he actually means that ________.

　　A．nuts above the ground will not develop into plants

　　B．red squirrels eat more nuts than gray squirrels

　　C．gray squirrels and red squirrels will have severe fights

　　D．seeds can be traps for other animals in the forest

　　1．【答案】C

　　【解析】細節理解題。由第二段的“The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut trees.”可知答案。

　　2．【答案】B

　　【解析】細節理解題。從第三段的“Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way.”可以得知答案。

　　3．【答案】A

　　【解析】細節理解題。從第三段倒數第二句可知：紅松鼠把種子藏在高于地面的地方。如果紅松鼠忘了吃，種子永遠不會發芽，不會長成樹苗。

　　Four Habits to Help You Succeed

　　We all want to succeed，whether it's in losing weight or learning the guitar.For those who have tried and failed，success seems difficult to understand.Why does one person succeed while another person fails？__1__

　　1．Identify your core values.

　　Finding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation.__2__ Pick a handful of things and actually write them down.Remind yourself of your values every day，and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.

　　2．Pick a goal and focus on it.

　　Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of accomplishment，while adjusting well to your core values.Focus is key here.__3__ If you perform many tasks at a time，you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.

　　3．Set a deadline for success.

　　Set a date for success.Identify when you hope to achieve your goal.__4__ By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real.

　　4．__5__

　　Failure can't be avoided when you take risks.By its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure.Many people tend to give up far too early.Don't fall into this trap! Remember your mindset earlier.Know it will happen.A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn't.Use failure.Treat it as a good thing, and march on!

　　A．Stick to your goal.

　　B．Make the right decision.

　　C．Sit and reflect on what you value most.

　　D．Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time.

　　E．I've made a list of four habits to help you set goals and achieve them.

　　F．The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.

　　G．Push yourself to be courageous, and take that next step.

　　【主旨大意】文章講述印第安納州普渡大學和新墨西哥大學的研究者發現：灰松鼠常常把黑胡桃樹種子埋在地里，但有的會忘記地點，這樣種子就會長成樹苗。而紅松鼠把種子藏在高于地面的地方，種子永遠不會發芽，從而看到了兩種松鼠對黑胡桃樹林的影響。

　　1．【答案】E

　　【解析】根據下文出現的四個小標題，抓住核心詞“a list of four habits。”

　　2．【答案】C

　　【解析】根據小標題中的“core value(核心價值)”，抓住C項中的“what you value most(你最重視什么)”。

　　3．【答案】F

　　【解析】根據前文的“Focus is key here(訣竅就是集中精力)”，抓住F項中的“focused”。

　　4．【答案】D

　　【解析】根據上下文，該部分談論為自己的工作設定期限，抓住D項中的“time”。

　　5．【答案】A

　　【解析】根據第四部分主要談論遇到困難，不要過早放棄，應該繼續前行，所以選A(堅持自己的目標)。
