It was a warm winter’s day in South Africa and I planned to go surfing. The area of beach I went to is famous among surfers for its powerful waves and popularity with sharks.
After a while my brother and some of my friends got out of the water because they felt uneasy. There was the smell of fish in the air, which can attract sharks. A few of us stayed. Finally, I saw my first big wave, but as I was about to hit it, two great white sharks attacked me.
It happened so quickly. One shark hit me, throwing me into the air; a second later, it dragged me under the water. The shock stopped me from feeling pain. Under the water, another shark went for my head and shoulders but missed.
Perhaps surprised by the competition, the first shark lost its grip (控制) on me and the next thing I knew was that I was staring a shark straight in the face. It stared back at me for a few moments. Its mouth was wide open; I could see huge teeth and dark black eyes. After it passed, I swam to the surface as fast as I could.
When surfing, there is always the fear in the back of your mind of sharks. Now it was real. I was shaking, crying and panicking, realizing that I could die. I tried all my hardest to swim back to the shore. Eventually, I made it to dry land. I felt relief. Someone tied my arm to slow the bleeding and my brother rushed me to the hospital. The surgeon managed to save my fingers.
That day changed my life, but it hasn’t stopped me from surfing. I started a surfing school to teach the sport to others. I was more afraid of sharks before my attack. Now I know what it means to be alive.
24. Why do sharks like appearing at the surfing beach?
A. There are powerful waves in winter. B. The beach is their natural habitat.
C. The smell of fish attracts them. D. The beach is crowded with surfers.
25. How did the author narrowly escape to dry land?
A. By swimming as fast as possible. B. By surfing on his surfboard alone.
C. By frightening the sharks away. D. By fighting with the sharks at once.
26 What can be inferred about the author in the text?
A He is more afraid of sharks. B. He is appreciative of being alive.
C. He started a surfing school. D. He didn’t surf after the incident.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. An activity in South Africa. B. A safety problem for surfers.
C. A terrible lesson for surfers. D. An experience of a surfer.

C 篇
Scientists have discovered the world’s largest known field of sea grass. They did it using videos shot by some sea animals. The work should help protect the sea grass, and also shows off a creative way to explore the ocean.
Sea grasses are flowering plants that normally grow in shallow waters near coasts. They grow in thick fields, known as meadows. Sea grass meadows help clean the ocean water, and provide food and home for many sea creatures. Importantly, sea grass meadows also help in the fight against the climate problems. That’s because they store a great deal of carbon — the harmful pollution that’s making global warming worse. Damaging (破坏) these sea grass meadows can release this pollution again, so it’s important to protect them.
However, the ocean is too huge for humans to study all by diving (潜水). A team of scientists decided to have tiger sharks help with the research because tiger sharks live underwater, swim fast and spend a lot of time in sea grass meadows.
The researchers attached cameras and other trackers to seven tiger sharks. After catching the sharks, the scientists worked quickly to attach the equipment, then let them go again. The cameras were designed to fall off after a few hours and float (漂浮) to the surface. Tracking signals helped the scientists find the floating cameras and collect the videos the sharks had taken over the sea floor. Putting all the data together, the scientists learned that the waters around the Bahamas are home to the largest sea grass meadow ever discovered.
The project is important for several reasons. Since sea grass is so valuable in fighting global warming, it’s important to know where it is. Oliver Shipley, a leading scientist, says, “If we don’t know where it is, we can’t protect it.” The program also shows how useful large sea animals can be in helping to learn more about life under the sea. Shipley says animals like tiger sharks “… are going to take us to new places that we didn’t know.”
28. What helped the scientists discover the largest ever field of sea grass?
A. Ships working underwater. B. Videos taken by tiger sharks.
C. Images shot from passing planes. D. Exploration of professional divers.
29. What does the underlined word “release” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Let out. B. Cut down. C. Clear away. D. Wind up.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The ways of following large sea animals.
B. The steps of fixing cameras to the tiger sharks.
C. The unique functions of the signal-tracking equipment.
D. The process of finding the world’s largest known sea grass meadow.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Sea grass is of high value in research and business.
B. Humans have benefited from pollution-free oceans.
C. Scientists have solved the climate problems effectively.
D. Ocean animals can help uncover more secrets of nature.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了虎鲨拍摄的视频帮助科学家们发现了有史以来最大的海草地,文章解释了海草地的作用以及重要性。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Putting all the data together, the scientists learned that the waters around the Bahamas are home to the largest sea grass meadow ever discovered. (把所有的数据放在一起,科学家们了解到巴哈马群岛周围的水域是迄今为止发现的最大的海草草地的所在地)”可知,虎鲨拍摄的视频帮助科学家们发现了有史以来最大的海草地。故选B。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Importantly, sea grass meadows also help in the fight against the climate problems. That’s because they store a great deal of carbon — the harmful pollution that’s making global warming worse. (重要的是,海草草场也有助于对抗气候问题。这是因为它们储存了大量的碳——这种有害的污染正在加剧全球变暖)”以及划线词后文“this pollution again, so it’s important to protect them”可知,破坏这些海草草场会再次释放这种污染,所以保护它们很重要。故划线词意思是“释放”。故选A。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The researchers attached cameras and other trackers to seven tiger sharks. After catching the sharks, the scientists worked quickly to attach the equipment, then let them go again. The cameras were designed to fall off after a few hours and float (漂浮) to the surface. Tracking signals helped the scientists find the floating cameras and collect the videos the sharks had taken over the sea floor. Putting all the data together, the scientists learned that the waters around the Bahamas are home to the largest sea grass meadow ever discovered. (研究人员在七只虎鲨身上安装了摄像头和其他追踪器。捕捉到鲨鱼后,科学家们迅速安装了设备,然后又放了它们。这些相机被设计成在几个小时后脱落,漂浮到水面上。跟踪信号帮助科学家找到了漂浮的摄像机,并收集了鲨鱼占领海底的视频。把所有的数据放在一起,科学家们了解到巴哈马群岛周围的水域是迄今为止发现的最大的海草草地的所在地)”可知,第4段主要讲了寻找世界上已知的最大的海草草场的过程。故选D。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The program also shows how useful large sea animals can be in helping to learn more about life under the sea. Shipley says animals like tiger sharks “… are going to take us to new places that we didn’t know.” (该节目还展示了大型海洋动物在帮助更多地了解海底生物方面是多么有用。希普利说,像虎鲨这样的动物“将把我们带到我们不知道的新地方。”)”可知,海洋动物可以帮助我们揭开更多的自然秘密。故选D。
D 篇
China is recognized as a world leader in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and facial recognition systems. A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing masks. Engineers at the Beijing-based company say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks.
The company told a news agency that a team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces, the company said.
The company is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs “single channel” recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a “multi-channel” recognition system that uses groups of surveillance (监视) cameras. It can identify individuals in a crowd of up to 30 people within a second.
“When people are wearing a mask that covers the mouth and the nose, the recognition rate can reach about 95%, which can ensure that most people can be identified,” said Huang, vice president of the company. He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5%.
However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is tough,” Huang said.
People react to the new technology differently. While some citizens have been against using such tools, the majority have accepted the technology as an effective way to reduce crime and catch criminals.
32. What did the company do to build the system?
A. It gathered many face images.
B. It used the latest technology.
C. It added a collection of masks.
D. It employed hundreds of people.
33. What can we know about the new system?
A. Its success rate is affected by cameras.
B. It recognizes groups of people in seconds.
C. Its performance changes with the location.
D. It does better in identifying unmasked faces.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards the new system? (改编)
A Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Supportive.
35. What can be the best title for the text?(自创)
A. An Effective Way to Reduce Crime
B. Benefits of a New Facial Recognition System
C. The Development of AI
D. A New Facial Recognition System
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的面部识别系统,即使人们戴着口罩也能识别他们。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces, the company said.(该系统基于过去10年开发的现有技术。该公司表示,这个过程包括添加大约600万张未戴面具的脸和一个小得多的戴面具的脸)”可知,公司是收集了许多人脸图像来建立这个系统的。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“When people are wearing a mask that covers the mouth and the nose, the recognition rate can reach about 95%, which can ensure that most people can be identified,(当人们戴着遮住口鼻的口罩时,识别率可以达到95%左右,可以保证大多数人都能被识别出来)”和“He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5%.(他补充说,该系统对不戴口罩的人的成功率约为99.5%)”可知,该系统在识别未戴面具的面孔方面做得更好。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。文章第四段主要介绍了该系统的优势,第五段有介绍了该系统的不足之处,再根据文章最后一段“People react to the new technology differently. While some citizens have been against using such tools, the majority have accepted the technology as an effective way to reduce crime and catch criminals.(人们对新技术的反应不同。虽然一些公民反对使用这些工具,但大多数人都认为这项技术是减少犯罪和抓捕罪犯的有效方法)”可推知,作者只是客观介绍了一种新的面部识别系统,和人们对这一系统的不同观点,所以作者的态度应该是客观的。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing masks. Engineers at the Beijing-based company say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks.(一家中国公司表示,他们已经开发出一种新的面部识别系统,即使人们戴着口罩也能识别出来。这家总部位于北京的公司的工程师表示,他们的系统是第一个能够有效识别戴口罩的人的系统)”及下文可知,文章主要介绍了一种新的面部识别系统,即使人们戴着口罩也能识别他们。由此可知,D选项“一种新的面部识别系统”能概括全文内容,适合用作文章标题。故选D项。

任务型阅读
War broke out in our house in late July with less than a month to go before my first day of college. It was a battle of wills, my mom’s and my own, over which school I was to attend. She wanted me to attend the well-known nursing school to which I was originally accepted, but I wanted to go to a small, private writing college with a student body of fewer than 300 students. Every night for two weeks, we argued, yelled and gave silent treatments until both parties went to bed with regrets and frustrations.
It was mostly my fault. Since my junior year of high school, I had aimed at being a nurse. I took all the required courses, applied for nursing scholarships, and even worked as a volunteer in my town’s local hospital. My goal, or so I told everyone, was to treat the sick and heal the hurt.
Yet, as graduation and college neared, I gradually found it was not what I was meant to do for the rest of my life. I could picture myself in providing wound care, making rounds and taking temperatures, but I couldn’t picture myself happy. It wasn’t the future I wanted.
Then, it dawned on me. I had been creating and writing stories for as long as I could remember. Even at four years old, I had my dad write as I told him the stories I had created. I had written for my high school’s newspaper and attended a writing camp over the previous summer. I loved it, and writing was what I had always pictured myself doing as a hobby. Now, it had become much more than a hobby. It was going to be my career even if the future was uncertain. It had to be.

Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Editor,
Recently our class had a heated discussion about whether it is worthwhile for mankind to explore space. The opinions were divided, with 40% of the students opposing the idea and 60% supporting it.
Those who are against space exploration argue that it is a waste of money, which could be used to solve pressing issues like poverty and hunger on Earth. They also worry about the potential pollution that may occur in space, which could further harm our environment.
On the other hand, the majority of students support space exploration. They believe that it provides us with a better means to cope with natural disasters. Moreover, conducting scientific experiments in space could lead to groundbreaking discoveries, as some experiments can only be conducted in a zero-gravity environment.
Personally, I find myself leaning towards supporting space exploration. While I acknowledge the concerns about the cost and potential pollution, I believe that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
Yours,
Li Hua

It was a warm winter’s day in South Africa and I planned to go surfing. The area of beach I went to is famous among surfers for its powerful waves and popularity with sharks.
After a while my brother and some of my friends got out of the water because they felt uneasy. There was the smell of fish in the air, which can attract sharks. A few of us stayed. Finally, I saw my first big wave, but as I was about to hit it, two great white sharks attacked me.
It happened so quickly. One shark hit me, throwing me into the air; a second later, it dragged me under the water. The shock stopped me from feeling pain. Under the water, another shark went for my head and shoulders but missed.
Perhaps surprised by the competition, the first shark lost its grip (控制) on me and the next thing I knew was that I was staring a shark straight in the face. It stared back at me for a few moments. Its mouth was wide open; I could see huge teeth and dark black eyes. After it passed, I swam to the surface as fast as I could.
When surfing, there is always the fear in the back of your mind of sharks. Now it was real. I was shaking, crying and panicking, realizing that I could die. I tried all my hardest to swim back to the shore. Eventually, I made it to dry land. I felt relief. Someone tied my arm to slow the bleeding and my brother rushed me to the hospital. The surgeon managed to save my fingers.
That day changed my life, but it hasn’t stopped me from surfing. I started a surfing school to teach the sport to others. I was more afraid of sharks before my attack. Now I know what it means to be alive.
24. Why do sharks like appearing at the surfing beach?
A. There are powerful waves in winter. B. The beach is their natural habitat.
C. The smell of fish attracts them. D. The beach is crowded with surfers.
25. How did the author narrowly escape to dry land?
A. By swimming as fast as possible. B. By surfing on his surfboard alone.
C. By frightening the sharks away. D. By fighting with the sharks at once.
26. What can be inferred about the author in the text?
A. He is more afraid of sharks. B. He is appreciative of being alive.
C. He started a surfing school. D. He didn’t surf after the incident.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. An activity in South Africa. B. A safety problem for surfers.
C. A terrible lesson for surfers. D. An experience of a surfer.

Scientists have discovered the world’s largest known field of sea grass. They did it using videos shot by some sea animals. The work should help protect the sea grass, and also shows off a creative way to explore the ocean.
Sea grasses are flowering plants that normally grow in shallow waters near coasts. They grow in thick fields, known as meadows. Sea grass meadows help clean the ocean water, and provide food and home for many sea creatures. Importantly, sea grass meadows also help in the fight against the climate problems. That’s because they store a great deal of carbon — the harmful pollution that’s making global warming worse. Damaging (破坏) these sea grass meadows can release this pollution again, so it’s important to protect them.
However, the ocean is too huge for humans to study all by diving (潜水). A team of scientists decided to have tiger sharks help with the research because tiger sharks live underwater, swim fast and spend a lot of time in sea grass meadows.
The researchers attached cameras and other trackers to seven tiger sharks. After catching the sharks, the scientists worked quickly to attach the equipment, then let them go again. The cameras were designed to fall off after a few hours and float (漂浮) to the surface. Tracking signals helped the scientists find the floating cameras and collect the videos the sharks had taken over the sea floor. Putting all the data together, the scientists learned that the waters around the Bahamas are home to the largest sea grass meadow ever discovered.
The project is important for several reasons. Since sea grass is so valuable in fighting global warming, it’s important to know where it is. Oliver Shipley, a leading scientist, says, “If we don’t know where it is, we can’t protect it.” The program also shows how useful large sea animals can be in helping to learn more about life under the sea. Shipley says animals like tiger sharks “… are going to take us to new places that we didn’t know.”
28. What helped the scientists discover the largest ever field of sea grass?
A. Ships working underwater. B. Videos taken by tiger sharks.
C. Images shot from passing planes. D. Exploration of professional divers.
29. What does the underlined word “release” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Let out. B. Cut down. C. Clear away. D. Wind up.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The ways of following large sea animals.
B. The steps of fixing cameras to the tiger sharks.
C. The unique functions of the signal-tracking equipment.
D. The process of finding the world’s largest known sea grass meadow.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Sea grass is of high value in research and business.
B. Humans have benefited from pollution-free oceans.
C. Scientists have solved the climate problems effectively.
D Ocean animals can help uncover more secrets of nature.

China is recognized as a world leader in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and facial recognition systems. A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing masks. Engineers at the Beijing-based company say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks.
The company told a news agency that a team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces, the company said.
The company is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs “single channel” recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a “multi-channel” recognition system that uses groups of surveillance (监视) cameras. It can identify individuals in a crowd of up to 30 people within a second.
“When people are wearing a mask that covers the mouth and the nose, the recognition rate can reach about 95%, which can ensure that most people can be identified,” said Huang, vice president of the company. He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5%.
However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is tough,” Huang said.
People react to the new technology differently. While some citizens have been against using such tools, the majority have accepted the technology as an effective way to reduce crime and catch criminals.
32. What did the company do to build the system?
A. It gathered many face images.
B. It used the latest technology.
C. It added a collection of masks.
D. It employed hundreds of people.
33. What can we know about the new system?
A. Its success rate is affected by cameras.
B. It recognizes groups of people in seconds.
C. Its performance changes with the location.
D. It does better in identifying unmasked faces.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards the new system? (改编)
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Supportive.
35. What can be the best title for the text?(自创)
A. An Effective Way to Reduce Crime
B. Benefits of a New Facial Recognition System
C. The Development of AI
D. A New Facial Recognition System

War broke out in our house in late July with less than a month to go before my first day of college. It was a battle of wills, my mom’s and my own, over which school I was to attend. She wanted me to attend the well-known nursing school to which I was originally accepted, but I wanted to go to a small, private writing college with a student body of fewer than 300 students. Every night for two weeks, we argued, yelled and gave silent treatments until both parties went to bed with regrets and frustrations.
It was mostly my fault. Since my junior year of high school, I had aimed at being a nurse. I took all the required courses, applied for nursing scholarships, and even worked as a volunteer in my town’s local hospital. My goal, or so I told everyone, was to treat the sick and heal the hurt.
Yet, as graduation and college neared, I gradually found it was not what I was meant to do for the rest of my life. I could picture myself in providing wound care, making rounds and taking temperatures, but I couldn’t picture myself happy. It wasn’t the future I wanted.
Then, it dawned on me. I had been creating and writing stories for as long as I could remember. Even at four years old, I had my dad write as I told him the stories I had created. I had written for my high school’s newspaper and attended a writing camp over the previous summer. I loved it, and writing was what I had always pictured myself doing as a hobby. Now, it had become much more than a hobby. It was going to be my career even if the future was uncertain. It had to be.
