Over the years, as I dealt with the pressure of finishing my Ph. D. and starting my
post-doctor, I had grown more competitive. I pushed myself to be the first to generate
thrilling results and to publish in high-impact journals. Those who could have been
collaborators（合作者）became rivals I hated.
But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had
hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself
instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming.I began to feel alone and
lost. I became less and less productive.
I emailed my mentors （导师），explaining that I had put myself second and the
高三英语 第 4 页 共 12 页
job first for too long. They told me that I wasn't the first academic to feel that way,and
that I wouldn't be the last. They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take
care of myself. So, with my mentors' support and an uncertain future,I left.
Back home, I spent time with family and friends and opened up about my
struggles. At first, I was ashamed. But the more I talked about my demons, the more
other people told me about their own. I also started to receive emails from my
workmates. After a few lines asking how I was, many expressed worries about how they
were managing the stress of academic life. Vulnerable（脆弱的）researchers were poking
their heads out of their shells. Our relationships deepened. I began to feel less alone.
Three months later, I was prepared to go back to the science that I loved,and I
now had a foundation to be more open with my colleagues. I understood that we all
struggle sometimes, and that collaboration can be more powerful than competition.
With a bit of time, collaboration has replaced competition. Working wvith others
and seeking help doesn't weaken my value or contributions; it means we can all win. I no
longer feel lonely and unhappy.
24.How did the author feel after adopting a competitive approach?
A.Empowered and successful. B.Overwhelmed and isolated.
C.Motivated and productive. D.Ashamed and annoyed.
25.Why did the writer take a break?
A.He was always the last. B.He needed some time to readjust.
C.He got seriously homesick. D.He failed to care about himself.
26.What does the underlined phrase mean?
A.Trying to be open with others. B. Starting to walk out regularly.
C.Being more confident in research. D.Tending to be happier than ever.
27.Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?
A.From competition to cooperation B. From selfishness to selflessness
C. From problems to solutions D.From uncertainty to certainty

The humble beaver（海狸） could hold the key to saving our water，according to a
new research that has found how their dam building skills protect the rivers threatened
by climate change.
The research, done on the rivers in Colorado, found the wooden banners built
高三英语 第 5 页共 12 页
by beavers raise water level upstream. As it builds up, the water flows into surrounding
soils and secondary waterways. These acts separate out extra nutrients and pollutants
before water reenters the main channel downstream.
Extreme weather events, such as severe storms, impact water quality in major river
systems. Droughts and floods are becoming more frequent, and the scientists have also
found they are contributing to an increase in the American beaver in the US, and
consequently an explosion of dam building.
The team chose to monitor a 40-kilometer stretch of the East River. They reviewed
data on water levels gathered hourly by sensors fixed in the river and the areas along the
river.
They also collected water samples, including from below the ground's surface to
monitor nutrient and pollutant levels. The researchers compared water quality along the
stretch during a historically dry year, to water quality the following year when water levels
were unusually high. They also compared these year-long datasets to water quality during
the nearly three-month period, starting in late July2018, when the beaver dam blocked the
river.
The study revealed the dams increased nitrate （ 硝 酸 盐 ） by nearly 50 by
increasing the pressure of the water flow upstream 10 times over,which pushed more
water out into the surrounding areas.The nitrates are absorbed and digested by tiny
organisms in the soil. This helped increase the oxygen content and quality in the rivers.
Beavers' hard work is responsible for the land they love.
28.What do the wooden barriers created by beavers act as?
A.Waterways. B.Samples.
C.Dams. D.Sensors.
29.What is the direct result of frequent droughts and floods in Colorado?
A. More dams emerge on the rivers.
B.More American beavers appear in the US.
C. More pollutants are removed from the rivers.
D. More oxygen is created in the rivers.
30.Why did the researchers collect water samples from below the ground's
surface?
A. To keep an eye on the water quality.
B. To improve the nutient of the stretch.
高三英语 第 6 页共 12 页
C.To remove pollutants from the river.
D. To decrease the effect caused by the flood.
31.What is the main idea of the text?
A. Dams do good to water quality.
B. Beavers contribute to climate change.
C. Extreme weather catches researchers' eyes.
D.Beavers help protect rivers against climate change.

Anime（二次元）culture has become a very common culture in our daily
life.As people's mninds become more and more open, most people gradually
begin to accept anime culture. Although increasingly more young people like
anime culture than before, many still don't know why there are so many people
like anime culture in reality. What is its attractive charm?
First and foremost ， anime is not immature and cynical （ 玩 物 丧 志
的）.Many people don't understand people who like anime, just because they
don't try to understand anime. They only evaluate it through other people's
words and their own knowledge. Of course, the comments are not very pleasant.
After all, the older generation don't agree with anime.
Moreover, the reason why today's young people like anime so much is not
because they are killing time, nor because they are addicted to animation, but
because of pressure. Today's society is completely different from that of the
1980s.Back then, having a motorcycle or a big TV at home was already impressive.
But now, cars, houses, and savings are everywhere, and young people are easily
suffocated（扼制）.
When we see anime protagonists（主人公）unconquerable in the drama，
willing to sacrifice everything to defeat enemies for their dreams and friends, it's
like seeing us unwilling to be outdone in reality. Aren't those bosses in anime just
like the things that bring us pressure in reality? When we see anime protagonists
hitting them one after another, it's like we're putting all the pressure on
ourselves,and we feel exhilarated（畅快淋漓）.
In recent years, the rapidly rise popularity of anime games such as Genshin
Impact（原神）and Love of Light and Night（光与夜之恋）has certainly brought
a rich side to the life of the current young generation. Luo Xiang once said: Paper
高三英语 第 7 页共 12 页
people are virtual, and after a long time in the virtual story, they are unwilling to
enter the real story. It is normal to embrace anime culture, but we still need to
have expectations for the future and believe in our youth and dreams.
32. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To enhance people's awareness of anime culture.
B. To persuade people stop contacting anime culture.
C. To lead the deeper description of the anime trend.
D. To arise reader's love to anime culture.
33.What is the seniors'view of anime?
A.Unbearable. B.Negative. C.awful. D.wonderful.
34.What are the reasons why young people like anime drama?
A.Young people cannot bear the enormous pressure of house loans.
B. Young people are often oppressed by their parents and elders.
C. Young people have lost confidence and hope in the current reality of life.
D.Young people have found their dream selves through the characters.
35.What can we infer from what Luo Xiang put in the article?
A. We cannot treat the virtual world as an Eden to escape real-life problems.
B. The current world is too false and not worth our time to pay attentionto.
C.In order to let people return to reality, all anime games should be banned.
D.The anime world is as important as the real world.

For many of us, the closest we get to wild animals is at a zoo. These places
let us see amazing animals from big cats to tiny lizards, and what they are like. It's
an enjoyable and educational experience for us, but is it the best environment for
these animals?
36 Later on, live animals were captured by explorers, brought home and
put on show to the public in menageries（野生动物园）. 37 Modern
zoos, however, have transformed the living environments for animals, making
bigger enclosures, removing bars, and to some extent, copying their natural
habitats.
Some people have questioned thecruelty of keeping animals captive（圈养的）
高三英语 第 8 页 共 12 页
for entertainment,but zoos are keen to show that they help wildlife by educating
us about conservation. In the UK, the introductionof the Zoo Licensing Act of
1981required zoos to educate the public. 38
Probably the biggest claim from zoos today is that they help protect
species in the wild that are under threat due to climate change. Robert Young,
Chair in Wildlife Conservation at Salford University said, There are quite a lot of
different species around the planet which we wouldn't have today if it wasn't for
zoos.
39 Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently praised Cheser Zoo in the UK for its
conservation work. It brought a rare fish species back from the dead after
breeding and releasing a school of golden skiffia fish back into their native river.
40 For instance, a virtual reality zoo enables the public to see rare
animals and have amazing interactions. Jon Coe, a zoo designer, told the BBC,
“Taking a walk through a her d of elephants in Serengeti National Park in Africa, I
think, is going to be possible pretty soon.
A. Animal welfare was not a priority.
B. Animal protection is becoming a global issue.
C. What we should do next is not to disturb wildlife.
D. New opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored.
E. Some zoos have programs to preserve the future of endangered species.
F. Long ago, people could only see wild animals as dead exhibits in a museum.
G. Since then, more zoos have been involved in raising people's awareness
of wildlife conservation.
