B
To Karanth, everyone in every part of the world is born with a fundamental connection to
nature. Growing up in Karnataka, she began accompanying her father into the wild at just two
years old. But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective on wildlife.
Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed. Karanth
discovered kids wouldn’t appreciate the fact that it’s the best place to witness extraordinary
animals.
第一节(共 15 小题; 每小题 2.5 分, 满分 37.5 分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在
答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Missing Pieces Project: Add Your Pieces to the Big Picture
All over England are places with stories to tell: from buildings to battlefields, some on
your doorstep, others just a day trip away. Their stories are still being written, and they won’t
be complete until you share your side.
In 2017, a conversation with her friend Gabby shifted her mindset towards education.
Within half a year, Karanth and Gabby had the first version of ―Wild Shaale‖ on their hands. A
program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims
to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife
tolerance to concepts of conservation and environmental issues. The conservation education
program fills a gap in environmental learning.
The Missing Pieces Project invites you to share your pictures and stories of the unique,
significant and memorable places on the National Heritage List for England. The List is a
register of all nationally protected historic buildings and sites across England. Your view of a
place is as unique as you are, so every snapshot and story you add is an important piece of the
picture. And the more pieces of the picture we have, the better we can work together to protect
what makes these places special. Whether you have a connection to a place already or you’re
discovering it for the first time, your views add important new pieces to the picture.
Images: from phone snaps to scans of old photos and architects’ drawings, from wide
angles to close-ups
While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local
government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether
it’s delivered effectively and consistently. ―You have to visualize what these schools look like.
They may not have electricity-forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything.‖
Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the
first step to changing perceptions and hopefully, behaviors.‖ It comes down to the same things:
we need food; we need water; we need space. Then they start to understand why situations of
conflict arise,‖ Karanth says. ―But then how do you convince them not to get angry, not to act
in a way that leads to harm? That’s something we’re trying to work on. It’s not easy.‖
Stories: from memories of holidays, school trips and family events to information about
grand openings and transformations
Photos must be ones you took yourself, from public land or rights of way, or with
permission from the landowner. To add an historic image, you must have the rights to it. See
the Missing Pieces Project terms and conditions for more information.
Sign in and make a difference.

30. Why is the mineral davemaoite significant?
A. Because it has a cooling effect.
An ancient diamond found in Botswana contains a never-before-seen mineral that came
from deep inside Earth. The mineral — named davemaoite — provides a unique window into
deep-Earth chemistry.
B. Because its internal structure is special.
C. Because it contains heat- producing elements.
D. Because its formation background is extreme.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
Originally dug up in a mine in Orapa, Botswana, the diamond is about 4 millimetres wide
and weighs 81 milligrams. A dealer sold it in 1987 to a scientist, but neither the dealer nor the
scientist had any idea how special it was. The diamond was more recently analysed by Oliver
Tschauner at the University of Nevada.
A. To explain the uses of a substance.
B. To introduce the discovery of a mineral.
C. To stress the role of deep-Earth chemistry.
D. To advocate the protection of radioactive elements.
D
Most diamonds form 120 to 250 kilometres underground. Tschauner and his colleagues
realised that the Botswanan diamond was from the lower mantle (地幔), which begins 660
kilometres below the surface. After examining it using X-rays, they discovered tiny crystals of
another mineral trapped inside. The crystals turned out to be a form of calcium silicate that was
theorised to exist in the lower mantle but had never actually been observed before. They
named the new calcium silicate mineral davemaoite in honour of deep-Earth scientist
Ho-Kwang ―Dave‖ Mao.
Consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has increased over the past 20 years. UPFs
contain few or no whole foods, are industrially produced, are ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat, and
include additives (添加剂). The ultra-processing of food reduces its nutritional value. It has
been known that higher UPF consumption is associated with overweight and heart disease.
Now, research has been extended to examine its potential consequences for mental health.
In a new stud y, over 72,000 participants who were at least 55 years old and didn’t have
dementia (痴呆) at the start of the study were followed for an average of 10 years, during
Normally, davemaoite’s crystal structure would break apart if it was brought up to Earth’s
surface because of the massive drop in pressure. But because it was trapped inside a diamond,
it was preserved on its long journey up to the Orapa mine. ―When we broke open the diamond,
the davemaoite stayed intact for about a second, and then we saw it expand under the
microscope and basically turn into glass,‖ says Tschauner.
which they filled out questionnaires regarding their diet. At the end of the study, 518 people
were diagnosed with dementia. After adjusting for other factors that could affect risk of
dementia such as age, gender, and heart disease, researchers found every 10 percent increase in
daily intake of UPFs was associated with a 25 percent higher risk of dementia. They also found
replacing 10 percent of UPFs with unprocessed or minimally processed foods was associated
with a 19 percent lower risk of dementia.
The molecules within it take on a particular cubic arrangement known as a perovskite
structure. This structure shows it could only have formed under the extreme conditions
experienced in the lower mantle, where the pressure is more than 200,000 times that found at
Earth’s surface. Davemaoite is thought to make up about 5 per cent of Earth’s lower mantle,
and is important because it can also host radioactive elements like uranium, thorium and
potassium-40 that heat Earth as they deca y. Without these radioactive elements, the Earth
would have cooled by now.
In another stud y, researchers found individuals who consumed the most UPFs had
significant increases in the symptoms of mild depression, ―mentally unhealthy days‖, and
―anxious days‖. Eric Hecht, Founder and Executive Director of the Institute of Etiological

8. What do we know about the mineral davemaoite?
A. It was named in memory of a great politician.
Research, said, ―More than 70 percent of packaged foods in the US are classified as UPFs and
represent about 60 percent of all calories consumed by Americans. Considering the degree of
exposure to and effects of UPF consumption, this study has great significance in clinical
practice and public health. It might help improve future development of dietary guidelines.‖
Facing such alarming data, maybe it’s time for Americans to reconsider their food choices.
Researchers recommend taxes on UPFs and carrying out policies to reduce the consumption.
B. It was discovered as soon as the diamond was found.
C. It had never actually been found before the discovery.
D. It had been stuck in a diamond 200 kilometres underground.
9. What does the underlined word ―intact‖ in Paragraph 4 mean?

They also support programs and policies to increase the availability and affordability of whole
foods, especially among disadvantaged populations.
Researchers refer to this as the ―broaden and build‖ theory because positive
emotions broaden your sense of possibilities and open your mind, which in turn allows you
to build new skills and resources that can provide value in other areas of your life.

positive thinking is so useful for developing valuable skills and appreciating the Big Picture of
life.
