In the port of Le Havre,the dawn light embraces the water;small boats move through the
mist;tall factory chimneys (mix their smoke with the fog-an image of beauty and
harmony painted by Claude Monet in Impression,Sunrise,invinng you o step into the world of
Impressionism.
高三英语·第4页(共12页)
Pamted at dawn on November 13,1872,this oil painting pietures a harbor scene
enveloped in morning mist,and reveals the beautiful view of daybreak through the interplay of
light and motion.In this painting,Monet abandoned the mainstream academic art style of his
time-distinct boundaries and colors.Instead,he focused on color relationships and the effects
of outdoor light,capturing the delicate changes of colors through reflections on the water surface,
breaking through the limits of the art world at the time.
This artistic treasure not only showcases Monet's unique insignt into the interp ay of light
and color in nature but also mirrors his pioneering approach to artistic creation.Meanwhile,it
describes a warm and peaceful life,representing peeple's expectations for economic recovery and
social stability.The industrial elements in the painting,such as the smoking chimneys,imply
the development of society and economic boom at the time,suggesting the social changes and
the mentality of people in late 19th century Europe.
For a thorough appreciation of this artwork and its signifieance in art history,one should
examine the primary corors featured in the painting,such as light purple,soft red,blue-gray,
and orange-yellow,and figure out how they interact to bring up the atmosphere of a sunrise.It's
also important to figure out how Monet skillfully seized the instant through the contrast of light
and shadow,along with his deliberate arrangement of the sun,boats,and chimneys.More
importantly,the symbolic significance of the sunrise,or what it mignt symbdlize in terms of
hope,rebirth,or societal transformation,is a theme that viewers should consider repeatedly.

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute in Germany have developed a four-legged robot named
Morti that can autonomously learn to walk without struggling.Standing at half a meter tall,
Morti can learn to walk within one hour,in roughly the same amount of time as a newborn
horse,which is a remarkable achievement in.the field of robotics.
Designed by Felix Ruppert,Morti operates on an AI algorithm (that copies the
neural(神经系统的)networks found in the spinal cords(脊髓)of animals,which are
responsible for controlling the rhythmic contraction of muscles during walking.Morti can follow
the way a baby animal learns to move,as it also finds the most efficient way to use their muscles
by trying and initially tripping."Just by learning to use legs properly,you basically get energy
efficiency for free,"says Ruppert.This is a big step forward in the world of robatics,where
energy efficiency is a kev factor in the practical application of such technology.
A common chalienge for Al systems is their ability to adapt when the environment changes.
Morti's design,which relies on the continuous adjustment of its movements,could offer a solution
to this challenge,potentially making it perform better in dynamic and changing environments.
Hillel Chiel at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio says,"The brains of animals contain
structures and knowledge that aid their learning.Some AIs can imitate animal-like learning,but
their artficial nervous systems are generally not yet as complex".
MortI's energy-efficient learning process and its capacity to adjust to its environment are
indicative of the future possibilities in AI and robotics.This technology could pave the way for
the development of more advanced and adaptable machines,revolutionizing the way we think
about and interact with robotics.Morti is not just a robot,but a glance into a future where
machines can learn and adapt with a level of efficiency and responsiveness that was once thought
to be just for living things.
28.Why does the author mention"a newborn horse"in Paragraph 1?
A.To show the speed at which Morti learns to walk.
B.To illustrate the complexity of Morti's AI algorithm.
C.To compare the size of Morti to that of a newborn horse.
D.To highlight the less efficiency of Morti's learning process.
高三英语·第6页(共12页)
29.What can we learm about Morti's AI algorithm from Paragraph 2?
A.It integrates multiple AI techniques.
R.It imizates the neural pathways in animal brains.
C.It echoes the learning strategies of young animals.
D It clones the neural networks in the spinal cords of animals.
30.How does Movti cope with the challenge of environmental changes?
A By learning to use its legs.
B.By adjusting its movements.
By copying human's behaviour.
D.By predicting environmental changes.
31.What is the text mainly about?
A The challenges AI faces.
B.The development of a new algorithm.
C.The similarities between Morti and living things.
D.The creation and learning process of the robot Morti.

With hunters wiping out most fruit-eating birds in the forest of Lambir Hills National Park on
western Bomeo by the 1990s,the sky grew duller,and in a few years,so did the forest.Without
buirds to spread their seeds,the diversity of fruit-proaucing plants declined,highlighting the
critical importance of seed dispersal for ecosystem health.Just as Jordi Bascompte,an ecologist at
the University of Zurich,calls it"the glue that keeps ecological communities together".
Recently,a study in Science reveals that at least one-third of European plant species are
endangered.This includes not just biras but also mammals,reptiles,and ants.Pedro Jordano,
another ecologist,illustrated the study "brilliant and captivating"but also"alarming",warning
that the loss of seed dispersers could prevent plants expanding their ranges to adapt to climate
change or recover from wildfires,especially in Europe's highly disjointed landscape.Ruben
Heleno,a community ecologist,said,"We should not be afraid of using the word crisis,"
given the situation that plant species are-facing.
Sara Mendes,a Ph.D.student at the University of Coimbra,searehed through thousands
of studies in 26 languages,focusing on terms like seed dispersal and the more than 900
European animals likely to consume seeds."The project requires a certain amount of craziness
to be accomplished,"she said,adding that in all major biogeographical areas in Europe,more
than one-third of seed-dispersing animal species are either threatened or decreasing.
高三英语·第7页(共12页)
Furthermore,the study discloses that over 60%of plants have five or tewer seed
dispersers,making them particularly suscepupie to the decline or disappearance of any of these
critical species.Nearly 80 "very high concern"interactions where both the plant and its
disperser are threatened or declining,such as the European fan palm relying on the endangered
rabbit,have been identified.
Despite the extensive data,significant gaps remain.International Union for Conservation of
Nature assessments are incomplete for 67%of the plant species,and the roles of various
dispersers,especially for rare plants,are still unclear.Ecologists warn that similar crises may
be unfolding on other cortiaents,uding North America.
32.What's the promary cause ot the dechne in fruit-producing plant diversity in Lambir Hills
National Park?
A.The disiointedness of the European landscape.
B.The absence of birds to spread plant seeds.
C.The impact of climate change on plant species.
D.The removal of fruit-eating animals by hunters.
33.What is Ruben Heleno's attitude towards the situation described in the passage?
A.Concerned.
B Optimistic.
C.Neutral.
A.Indifferent.
34.What does the underinned word "susceptible"in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A..Stable.
B.Sensitive
C.Adaptable.
D.Resistant.
35.How is the information organized in the article?
A.Time order.
8 Problem-solution format.
C.Cause and effect structure.
8.Comparison among different species.

In Rwanda,a young man named Mushimiyimana Leonidas once found himself caught in a
dilemma.His mother,41 in agricuture,struggled to provide for the family,leaving
Leonidas with the 42 tasks of paying for his university education while also supporting his
sisters.
Agricultural development in the area was limited,so farming 43 met the family's basic
needs.Despite these 44,Leonidas never gave up and completed his university studies.

However,the lack of suitable job opportunities made his dream of 45 his family's living
standards seem increasingly distant.
46,a ray of hope emerged in the form of Juncao,a hybrid grass developed by a
Chinese agricultural expert,professor Lin Zhanxi.In 2011,Professor Lin led a team to Rwanda
to 47 the urgent problems that the local farmers had faced with.They 48 some
projects,which were aimed at 49 water and soil doss/to preserve farmland.They also
introduced the technique of cultivating mushrooms using Juncao,a method that had previously
50 many Chinese farmers out of poverty.The method offered promise to Leonidas.
Leonidas seized this opportunity.He determined to learn more about this 51 and soon
started a business producing mushrooms.After ten years of continuous work,it had
52
Leonidas'life completely.He was now not only able to fully support his family but also extend a
helping hand to others.
Leonidas'story is not 53.Many farmers in Rwanda,like him,have also benefited from
the grass and started new,fulfilling lives.The hybrid grass has had a significant influence on
their lives,freeing them from 54 and providing them with new opportunities for growth and
wealth.
The future looks 55 for many farmers in Rwanda,who now have the chance to build
better lives for themselves and their families.The magic grass has become a symbol of hope for
the Rwandan farmers.
