Damin and Lily share their thoughts on bird fishing. Is it a good idea to keep this traditional practice alive? Bird fishing is a great tradition, says Damin Bird fishing should be left in the past, says Lily I believe that bird fishing is a tradition worth keeping. It’s a part of our history and a special way of life. There are several reasons why we should continue this practice. First, bird fishing is a(n) ____32____ sight. The cormorants are amazing creatures, and watching them work feels like seeing a dance with nature. It’s a beautiful thing to witness. Second, it’s an effective way of fishing. We don’t use nets or rods; we let the birds do the work. By tying a piece of grass around their necks, we make sure the fish are caught without harming the birds or the environment. Plus bird fishing teaches us about ____33____. The connection between the fisherman and the cormorants is special. It’s a partnership that has been passed down through generations, and it’s something we shouldn’t lose. Bird fishing is a skill that has been around for over a thousand years. It’s a part of our ____34____, and keeping it alive is important for future generations to understand where we come from. In my view, bird fishing is an old tradition that might not be suitable for today’s world. Firstly, it’s a dying art. Not many young people are interested in learning it, and it’s hard work. It ____35____ a lot of patience and skill, and not everyone is willing to put in the effort. Secondly, there are better ways to fish nowadays. Modern fishing methods can catch more fish in less time, and they don’t ____36____ animals to do the work. What’s more, keeping cormorants for fishing might not be the best for the birds. They might prefer to live in the wild and catch their own food rather than being used by humans. ____37____ continuing this practice, we should focus on protecting wildlife and exploring better fishing methods. Although bird fishing is an interesting tradition, we must consider its future and the challenges it faces. 32. A. common B. amusing C. familiar D. exciting 33 A. teamwork B. respect for animals C. responsibility D. animal training 34. A. ambition B. culture C. economy D. knowledge 35. A. expects B. offers C. requires D. limits 36. A. pay for B. take care of C. make jokes about D. depend on 37. A. Except for B. Instead of C. In addition to D. As a result of C.

The idea of using smart machines is not n____38____. In ancient Greece, people created robots called “automatic servants.” These machines could pour wine and mix it with water. AI began to develop more in the 1950s. Before this time, computers were not very p____39____. They could only follow simple instructions and do basic calculations. These early machines could not learn or change, and they couldn’t remember information. Computers were also very expensive, costing a lot of money. Only big companies and universities could afford to use them. During World War II, the need for smart machines became very important. The Allied armies needed to understand secret messages from German s____40____. These messages were sent using a machine called the Enigma. In 1940, a group of codebreakers in England, led by Alan Turing, built a machine called the Bombe. This machine helped break the German code, which saved many lives. After the war, Turing worked on designing computers that could store programs. In 1950, he created the Turing test. The test can c____41____ if a machine thinks like a human. Today, we still use a similar test called CAPTCHA to tell humans and machines apart. In 1956, John McCarthy introduced the term “artificial intelligence” at a conference in the United States. This marked the s____42____ of serious research into AI. Over the years, AI has grown a lot. Machines can now learn from data, making them smarter over time. For example, streaming services use AI to recommend shows based on what you like. As AI becomes more w____43____ used, researchers are working to create even smarter machines for the future. This ongoing effort aims to make technology easier to use and improve its functions in different areas. D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（7分） The moon was low in the sky as Mia finished loading her pickup truck. She led her two-year-old dog, Buddy, to his cage in the back of the truck. It was two in the morning. Three days earlier, 12-year-old Jake had gone missing from his Boy Scout camp in the Blue Mountains. Many people searched for him, but they found very few clues. So, they phoned the Search and Rescue Dog Association. Mia and Buddy were part of it. They had trained for a year to help find lost people. Mia remembered what her husband, Dave, had said before she left that morning. “Don’t get your hopes up,” he had warned. But Mia was determined. “Jake has been out there for three days. Buddy can help!” she replied. When Mia arrived at the meeting point, the rescuers explained that the ground was very rough. They had to move on their hands and knees at times, and none of their dogs had found a smell. Mia let out a breath; it would be a tough job. At 6 a.m, Mia and the other searchers learned more about Jake. She studied his photo, wanting to remember his face. “Jake is alive,” she told Buddy. “We’re going to find him.” Mia took out a piece of Jake’s clothing for Buddy to smell. With his nose up, Buddy started down the path. Suddenly, Mia saw Buddy’s head lift. He ran ahead, and Mia quickly followed. Then she saw Jake in a red jacket, looking weak. “Jake, is that you?” Mia yelled. He nodded slowly. Mia climbed up to him and sat him next to Buddy. “Do you like dogs?” she asked. He nodded again. While Mia called the base camp, Jake ate some peanut butter crackers. Buddy eagerly ate the leftovers. Back at the base camp, Mia called Dave. “You won’t believe what Buddy did! He found Jake!” “Really?” Dave said, surprised. Mia smiled, happy that Buddy had proven him wrong. 44. Mia and Buddy were leaving for the Blue Mountains at about 2 a.m, weren’t they? _________________________________ 45.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（7分） The moon was low in the sky as Mia finished loading her pickup truck. She led her two-year-old dog, Buddy, to his cage in the back of the truck. It was two in the morning. Three days earlier, 12-year-old Jake had gone missing from his Boy Scout camp in the Blue Mountains. Many people searched for him, but they found very few clues. So, they phoned the Search and Rescue Dog Association. Mia and Buddy were part of it. They had trained for a year to help find lost people. Mia remembered what her husband, Dave, had said before she left that morning. “Don’t get your hopes up,” he had warned. But Mia was determined. “Jake has been out there for three days. Buddy can help!” she replied. When Mia arrived at the meeting point, the rescuers explained that the ground was very rough. They had to move on their hands and knees at times, and none of their dogs had found a smell. Mia let out a breath; it would be a tough job. At 6 a.m Mia and the other searchers learned more about Jake. She studied his photo, wanting to remember his face. “Jake is alive,” she told Buddy. “We’re going to find him.” Mia took out a piece of Jake’s clothing for Buddy to smell. With his nose up, Buddy started down the path. Suddenly, Mia saw Buddy’s head lift. He ran ahead, and Mia quickly followed. Then she saw Jake in a red jacket, looking weak. “Jake, is that you?” Mia yelled. He nodded slowly. Mia climbed up to him and sat him next to Buddy. “Do you like dogs?” she asked. He nodded again. While Mia called the base camp, Jake ate some peanut butter crackers. Buddy eagerly ate the leftovers. Back at the base camp, Mia called Dave. “You won’t believe what Buddy did! He found Jake!” “Really?” Dave said, surprised. Mia smiled, happy that Buddy had proven him wrong. 44.

So, they phoned the Search and Rescue Dog Association. Mia and Buddy were part of it.”可知，人们发现的线索很少，所以就打电话给搜救犬协会，而Mia和Buddy在这个组织工作。故填Because people found few clues and they phoned the Search and Rescue Dog Association where Mia and Buddy worked. 【46题详解】 根据第三段“the rescuers explained that the ground was very rough.
