Elephants are the largest terrestrial (陆地的) animals. For a long time, they are very helpful. They carry big trees, take people from place to place and are even used in wars.
Some people think it’s not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. In fact, that’s wrong. Sometimes, a needle (针) can also be very dangerous for the elephant.
People say elephants are afraid of mice. This is wrong, too. In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight(视力), so they usually cannot see a mouse even if one comes very close to them. If a person has a good memory (记忆), people will say that he has an elephant memory. However, up to now, no study shows that elephants have a better memory than any other animal.
People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called “elephant graveyard”. Often, hunters by to find such places to get ivories (象牙) but few people really find places like that. In fact, when elephants are old or get sick, they will stay in deep and secret caves (洞穴) until they get better or die.

It was 8:10 and I was lying in the sun, listening to my favorite CD, on a weekend morning.
Then Mum came out. She wanted me to go out with her. She told me about this place called Give Kids the World. It’s a special (特别的) place for families to spend a vacation when a child had a life-threatening (致命的) illness. She did some jobs there, like gift giving and ice-cream serving. Mum said I would enjoy it, but I thought those were boring jobs.
Mum told me we were going to take a toy and an ice-cream to every child in the village. We got to the first house and I knocked on the door and shouted, “Gift Giving”, and a woman answered it. Sitting in the middle of the bedroom was a boy in a wheelchair. I gave him the gifts, and his face lighted up (露出喜色) with happiness. I walked out and thought, “That must be boring, unable to jump around.”
As I came into the second house with gifts, it seemed a little strange that the child didn’t see me. Her mum said something was much wrong with her eyes, so I needed to go and stand in front of her. When I did that, she became very excited and made a sign for “thanks”, though her legs couldn’t move at all.
When we went back home, Mum told me these kids might not live to see tomorrow. Suddenly, I understood I should be more thankful that I don’t have these illnesses. I no longer wanted to be at home listening to my CDs. I would rather (宁愿) be doing this, maybe making a difference (产生影响) in these kids’ lives.

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“She told me about this place called Give Kids the World. It’s a special place for families to spend a vacation when a child had a life-threatening (致命的) illness. (她告诉我一个叫“给孩子们世界”的地方。这是一个特殊的地方,当孩子患有危及生命的疾病时,家庭可以在这里度假。)”可知,Give Kids the World是一个当孩子有致命的疾病时,一家人会去那里度假的特殊的地方。故选B。

Do you know there are sounds produced by plants? Have you ever wondered what animals are talking about? With the development of AI we may be able to understand their languages!
In Professor Karen Bakker’s new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants, she talks about how AI and other technologies are helping us to translate (翻译) and understand animals’ and plants’ words.
All around the animal world, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up (接收到) and decipher (破译). Elephants, for example, talk with each other using infra-sound (次声), which cannot be heard by human ears. Coral (珊瑚) in the ocean also sends sound waves to lead (带领) baby coral to safer areas to grow. Baby coral “listens” for the sounds and finds its way to the right place. This is surprising as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed (放置) machines into these environments to pick up the sounds humans cannot hear.
After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meaning. For example, Isracli researchers used AI to translate bats’ (蝙蝠) 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about such things: food, ways of sleeping, getting into personal space, and unwanted courtship (求偶).
Technologies can not only understand the animals but communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate. So a research team in Germany put the bee language AI system into a robot bee. They asked the robot to create a set of dance moves to tell the bees where they can find their food.
Researchers said the technology could someday help disabled people to communicate. It might also help scientists understand how animals see the world.
12. How does the writer lead into the topic?
A. By listing facts. B. By offering ideas.
C. By asking questions. D. By giving examples.
13. What can we learn from Karen Bakker’s new book?
A. What role AI plays in protecting animals.
B. What makes it hard for us to take care of plants.
C. How animals and plants communicate with the help of AI.
D. How technologies help us understand the voices of nature.
14. What does the underlined word “this” refer to (指的是)?
A. Baby coral “listens” for the sounds.
B. Coral doesn't have any ears
C. Machines can be used to pick up sounds
D. Coral can find safer areas to grow by itself.
15. What is the researchers’ attitude (态度) towards the future of the AI technology?
A. Unclear. B. Hopeless.
C. Doubtful (怀疑的). D. Supportive.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了使用AI能够理解动物的语言。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Do you know there are sounds produced by plants? Have you ever wondered what animals are talking about? (你知道植物会发出声音吗?你有没有想过动物在说什么?)”可知,文章开头是通过提出问题的方式切入文章主题。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In Professor Karen Bakker’s new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants, she talks about how AI and other technologies are helping us to translate and understand animals’ and plants’ words. (在卡伦·巴克教授的新书《生命之声:数字技术如何让我们更接近动植物世界》中,她谈到了人工智能和其他技术如何帮助我们翻译和理解动植物的语言。)”可知,从凯伦·巴克的新书中我们可以知道科技如何帮助我们理解自然的声音。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Coral (珊瑚) in the ocean also sends sound waves to lead(带领) baby coral to safer areas to grow. Baby coral “listens” for the sounds and finds its way to the right place. This is surprising as coral doesn’t have any ears! (海洋中的珊瑚也会发出声波,将小珊瑚带到更安全的地方生长。小珊瑚会“倾听”声音,并找到合适的地方。这令人惊讶,因为珊瑚没有耳朵!)”可知,这里This指代上文提到的小珊瑚会“倾听”声音这件事。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Researchers said the technology could someday help disabled people to communicate. It might also help scientists understand how animals see the world. (研究人员表示,这项技术有朝一日可以帮助残疾人进行交流。这也可能有助于科学家了解动物如何看待世界。)”可知,作者对人工智能技术是支持的,因为它有利于人类。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了未来生活的样子,在3000年,医疗技术、服装、住房以及出行等方面,“智能科技”将无处不在。
36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:让我们看一看。have a look为固定短语,表示“看一看”,所以空处应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:在3000年,医疗技术将比以往任何时候都要更好。根据句中than可知,句子表示医疗技术与以往任何时候相比都要更好,空处应用形容词的比较级形式better,表示“更好的”。故填better。

考查名词。句意:许多和你同龄的人可以活到120岁,而你的父母只需要进行抗衰老治疗。分析句子结构,anti-aging是形容词,作定语修饰名词,结合不定冠词an,所以空处应用单数名词treatment作动词have的宾语,表示“治疗”。故填treatment。
【39题详解】

“Yes, it is going to be celebrated on June 19 this year. Yesterday my friend and I were talking about it.” Mano replied.
“Do you have any idea how we should celebrate this day and make it memorable for Dad?” Ali asked.
“Hmm... I was thinking about it too and have some ideas.” Mano answered excitedly. “What are you kids talking about?” their mum asked, entering their room.
“Mum, we were wondering about how to celebrate Father’s Day.” Mano said.
“Oh, I am surprised you kids remembered! Well, I am thinking of cooking some favorite dishes for your father. You both should think of ways to decorate the house beautifully.”Mum said.
“That would be great!”said Mano and Ali together. Both of them got up smiling, thinking of hundreds of ways to celebrate Father’s Day. Mum went to the kitchen, and Mano and Ali started doing their homework. But soon Ali noticed Mano deep in thought so he asked what the matter was. “Ali, I was thinking that our parents do everything for us and in return they want nothing. Isn’t it bad that we never think about them and are always concerned about our needs?” Mano replied. “Sometimes we are so busy with our lives that we don’t pay proper attention to our parents. We should listen to whatever they say properly and answer them. We must also study hard to get good grades.” Ali nodded.
The next day, all three of them, Mano, Ali and their mum, got busy preparing their surprise celebration for Father’s Day. Mano drew a family picture with her crayons, Ali bought balloons and candles and began writing a poem which he planned to sing that day. In short, a lot of things were being planned and prepared.

Ali quickly cleaned the living room and continued with the decoration, putting up the colorful balloons and presenting the birthday cake. At the same time, Mano took out the family picture. They were about to practice singing the poem when the delicious smell came from the kitchen. Surely it was Mom that prepared the big meal. French toast and chicken porridge, both of which were father’s favorite dishes, were ready. Eventually, everything was settled. Ali and Mano stood beside the door, waiting for their father eagerly. Then Dad came in.
Ali and Mano cried out together, “Happy Father’s Day!” Hearing the words, so glad was Dad that his face lit up. “We have a surprise for you!” added Ali, pointing at the decorations. When he saw the dinner, his eyes widened and twinkled with excitement. He couldn’t help tasting a bit of chick soup, explaining that it was the best dish he had ever had. Mom smiled heartily and exchanged a gentle glance with Ali and Mano. What a beautiful and sweet surprise! The room was filled with happiness.

Elephants are the largest terrestrial (陆地的) animals. For a long time, they are very helpful. They carry big trees, take people from place to place and are even used in wars.
Some people think it’s not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. In fact, that’s wrong. Sometimes, a needle (针) can also be very dangerous for the elephant.
People say elephants are afraid of mice. This is wrong, too. In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight(视力), so they usually cannot see a mouse even if one comes very close to them. If a person has a good memory (记忆), people will say that he has an elephant memory. However, up to now, no study shows that elephants have a better memory than any other animal.
People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called “elephant graveyard”. Often, hunters by to find such places to get ivories (象牙) but few people really find places like that. In fact, when elephants are old or get sick, they will stay in deep and secret caves (洞穴) until they get better or die.

It was 8:10 and I was lying in the sun listening to my favorite CD, on a weekend morning.
Then Mum came out. She wanted me to go out with her. She told me about this place called Give Kids the World. It’s a special (特别的) place for families to spend a vacation when a child had a life-threatening (致命的) illness. She did some jobs there, like gift giving and ice-cream serving. Mum said I would enjoy it, but I thought those were boring jobs.
Mum told me we were going to take a toy and an ice-cream to every child in the village. We got to the first house and I knocked on the door and shouted, “Gift Giving”, and a woman answered it. Sitting in the middle of the bedroom was a boy in a wheelchair. I gave him the gifts, and his face lighted up (露出喜色) with happiness. I walked out and thought, “That must be boring, unable to jump around.”
As I came into the second house with gifts, it seemed a little strange that the child didn’t see me. Her mum said something was much wrong with her eyes, so I needed to go and stand in front of her. When I did that, she became very excited and made a sign for “thanks”, though her legs couldn’t move at all.
When we went back home, Mum told me these kids might not live to see tomorrow. Suddenly, I understood I should be more thankful that I don’t have these illnesses. I no longer wanted to be at home listening to my CDs. I would rather (宁愿) be doing this, maybe making a difference (产生影响) in these kids’ lives.

Do you know there are sounds produced by plants? Have you ever wondered what animals are talking about? With the development of AI, we may be able to understand their languages!
In Professor Karen Bakker’s new book The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants, she talks about how AI and other technologies are helping us to translate (翻译) and understand animals’ and plants’ words.
All around the animal world, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up (接收到) and decipher (破译). Elephants, for example, talk with each other using infra-sound (次声), which cannot be heard by human ears. Coral (珊瑚) in the ocean also sends sound waves to lead (带领) baby coral to safer areas to grow. Baby coral “listens” for the sounds and finds its way to the right place. This is surprising as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed (放置) machines into these environments to pick up the sounds humans cannot hear.
After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meaning. For example, Isracli researchers used AI to translate bats’ (蝙蝠) 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about such things: food, ways of sleeping, getting into personal space, and unwanted courtship (求偶).
Technologies can not only understand the animals but communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate. So a research team in Germany put the bee language AI system into a robot bee. They asked the robot to create a set of dance moves to tell the bees where they can find their food.
Researchers said the technology could someday help disabled people to communicate. It might also help scientists understand how animals see the world.
12. How does the writer lead into the topic?
A. By listing facts. B. By offering ideas.
C. By asking questions. D. By giving examples.
13. What can we learn from Karen Bakker’s new book?
A. What role AI plays in protecting animals.
B. What makes it hard for us to take care of plants.
C. How animals and plants communicate with the help of AI.
D. How technologies help us understand the voices of nature.
14. What does the underlined word “this” refer to (指是)?
A. Baby coral “listens” for the sounds.
B Coral doesn't have any ears
C. Machines can be used to pick up sounds
D. Coral can find safer areas to grow by itself.
15. What is the researchers’ attitude (态度) towards the future of the AI technology?
A. Unclear. B. Hopeless.
C. Doubtful (怀疑的). D. Supportive.
