In the following weeks,the Latin class didn't become the exciting learning environment I had hoped for,but Mr.Keady did try harder to interest us in his classes.

The researchers put a bowl behind a door.Inside the bowl,sometimes,there was something chickens love to eat,such as rice or insects.Sometimes,there was nothing.When the chickens saw food behind the door,they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls.When there wasn't food,the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment ()The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves(波动). Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises.Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food.The recordings were played to 194 volunteers.Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not,and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens.Hopefully,this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry (in many countries.Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can tell chickens'feelings.This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. l3.Which of the following can be put in“▲ "in the first paragraph?

Ni Xialian,who was born in 1963,was the oldest table tennis player at the Paris Olympics in 2024.This time,as the former Chinese world champion(冠军)，she 英语试卷第7页（共8页） did her best to play against her much younger opponent ()23-year-old Sun Yingsha. They both did not hide their skills and tried their best. Though failed at last,Ni had no regrets and deeply thanked the crowd.At the after-match interview,she said that her dream had come true to play against and compete with the world's top player at the Olympics.Before facing Sun at the opposite side of the table,"Aunt Ni"was invited to serve as a training partner(陪练)to China's eventual mixed doubles(混合双打) champions Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin because of her professional technique(专业技术). Throughout Sun and Ni's match,the CCTV reporter kept referring to Ni as"Master Ni" instead of using her full name to show respect for what she did for China's table tennis.Ni has made great efforts in spreading the sport in Europe and around the world. I truly admire the shared slogan (of the Paris Olympics and Paralympics"Games Wide Open".To me,it means "wide open"not only for any competitor who presents the Olympic spirit but also for any performance or choice made by an Olympian. Not representing (China though,Ni is still winning her home country's hearts.I believe she will always be respected by China. 41.How old was Ni Xialian when she took part in Paris Olympics? 42.What was Ni Xialian's dream? 43.Why did the CCTV reporter call Ni as"Master Ni"instead of using her full name? 44.What do you think of Ni Xialian?What do you learn from her?(Write 30 words or more.) 五.书面表达（满分20分） 45.作为新时代的少年，我们有义务和能力用英语讲好中国故事。假设你是李辉，请你 给国外的笔友Eric写一封英文邮件，向他介绍一个你最喜欢的中国传统节日，以及丰富 多彩的节日活动。 注意： (1)词数80-100，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数： (2)邮件中不得出现真实姓名及学校名称。 Dear Eric, How is everything going?
