Do you remember the elephant “tour group” in Yunnan? Where are they now? They are back at their home!
In March, 2020, a family of 15 wild Asian elephants left their living place in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. They kept going north, through mountains, forests, rivers and even city streets. Along their journey, they ran into villages and ate farmers’ corn. But no one blamed (怪) them. “It is OK. They are just hungry,” a farmer said.
Scientists guessed that the elephants were losing their habitat, so they might go north to look for a new home with more food. Or the group might lose its way because its leader had no experience!
To help the elephants get home and protect them, the government used 76 police cars and trucks, as well as nine drones (无人机). Police and scientists closely watched them. They watched the group’s movement and sent warnings (警示) to people on the road not to get close to the elephants. They also helped them with food and drink. Finally, the elephants ended their trip safely and happily after 17 months and a 500-kilometer journey.
The Asian elephant is the largest land animal in Asia. Yunnan is the only habitat for wild Asian elephants in China. The province has built 11 nature reserves. However, there are only 300 Asian elephants left in China. The WWF is working hard to save them.
54. What does the underlined word “habitat” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Food. B. Friends. C. Way. D. Home.
55. What did the government do to help the elephants?
A. Gave them food and drink. B. Built a new home for them.
C. Used 76 trucks and drones. D. Sent warnings to all the people.
56. Which is the right order (顺序) according to the passage?
①The hungry elephants ran into villages and ate farmers’ corn.
②The government did something to protect wild Asian elephants.
③A family of wild Asian elephants started their journey to the north.
④These elephants came back home safely and happily.
A. ①②③④ B. ①②④③ C. ③①②④ D. ④②①③

A. Welcome Back Home! B. Elephants are on the Way!
C. Elephants are Our Friends! D. Find a New Home!

According to a recent study, the Middle East is warming almost twice as fast as the rest of the world. Without a doubt, high temperatures will have deep influences on the development of the area.
That shows the growing risk to humans caused by extreme (极端的) weather. With more and more extreme weather events, we must find better techniques to make predictions (预测) about them.
AI is a powerful tool. It can deal with information and provide advice to help us better understand and make predictions about the weather. Traditional weather models use information from satellites (卫星). But these models have their disadvantages: they are not very exact. They also fail to discover complex conditions of the air around the earth.
AI can overcome (克服) these disadvantages by using the technology of deep learning. It can learn from historical and real-time information and produce trustworthy predictions. AI can also deal with information from different places, such as satellite photos or online posts, to provide clearer pictures of the weather situation. A paper on the Pangu-Weather AI model has drawn a lot of attention. Pangu-Weather is the first AI prediction model that is more exact than traditional weather prediction methods. This model can increase the prediction speed by 10,000 times, making global weather prediction time drop to seconds.
In May 2023, Typhoon Mawar appeared in the Pacific Ocean. According to the China Meteorological Administration, Pangu-Weather made exact predictions about the direction of Mawar five days before it changed its way in the eastern waters of the islands of Taiwan.
58. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. High temperatures will have few influences on the area.
B. The Middle East is warming faster than the rest of the world.
C. Traditional weather models can discover complex conditions of the air around the earth.
D. Traditional weather models use information from satellites and are very exact.
59. How can AI overcome the disadvantages of traditional weather models?
A. By using information from satellites.
B. By only learning from real-time information.
C. By using the technology of deep learning.
D. By dealing with information from the same places.
60. Why is Typhoon Mawar mentioned?
A To show how exact Pangu-Weather’s predictions are.
B. To tell us about the risks of extreme weather.
C. To talk about how useless traditional weather models are.
D. To express that the problems of extreme weather have been solved completely.
61. What might be the best title of the text?
A. The Risks of Extreme Weather
B. The Pangu-Weather AI Model
C. The Climate Change in the Middle East
D. AI-The Powerful Tool of Weather Prediction

I (Robinson) showed him a pallet and a blanket and he fell quickly asleep. When waking up in the morning, he greeted me, down on his knees, with hands on his head. At first, we communicated primarily by body languages. Soon my new servant showed him much better at learning my language than I was learning at his. I studied him, and soon he could say his name, “Master”, “Yes” and “No”, and the names for various items. How good it was to hear a man’s voice again!
It took Friday time to grow used to the idea of hunting with a gun. I had to shoot several animals and birds before he stopped running away. For the next three years, I taught Friday how to use all my tools. Friday was quick to help with the farming and feeding. He worked hard and was obedient (服从).
One day, I took Friday to the highest point of the island where all the nearby islands could be seen. Suddenly, Friday began to jump up and down. He seemed quite excited with the sight of his own country. I began to think again about escape. Perhaps together we could leave for his country. But what then? Would Friday still be my friend, or would his people kill me and eat me? I took Friday to the other side of the island and showed him my big canoe, though it was quite old. “Could you imagine sailing to your country on it, Friday? Can it be a success?” I asked him. “Oh, yes,” he answered. “It can carry a lot of food and drink.”
But a moment later, Friday looked very upset. “Are you angry with me?” he asked. “What have I done? Why do you want to send me away?”
“But I thought you wanted to go home,” I said.
“Yes. But you must come with me. Kill me if you want, but don’t send me away from you!” He insisted that he would not leave me.

Do you remember the elephant “tour group” in Yunnan? Where are they now? They are back at their home!
In March, 2020, a family of 15 wild Asian elephants left their living place in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. They kept going north, through mountains, forests, rivers and even city streets. Along their journey, they ran into villages and ate farmers’ corn. But no one blamed (怪) them. “It is OK. They are just hungry,” a farmer said.
Scientists guessed that the elephants were losing their habitat, so they might go north to look for a new home with more food. Or the group might lose its way because its leader had no experience!
To help the elephants get home and protect them, the government used 76 police cars and trucks, as well as nine drones (无人机). Police and scientists closely watched them. They watched the group’s movement and sent warnings (警示) to people on the road not to get close to the elephants. They also helped them with food and drink. Finally, the elephants ended their trip safely and happily after 17 months and a 500-kilometer journey.
The Asian elephant is the largest land animal in Asia. Yunnan is the only habitat for wild Asian elephants in China. The province has built 11 nature reserves. However, there are only 300 Asian elephants left in China. The WWF is working hard to save them.
54. What does the underlined word “habitat” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Food. B. Friends. C. Way. D. Home.
55. What did the government do to help the elephants?
A. Gave them food and drink. B. Built a new home for them.
C. Used 76 trucks and drones. D. Sent warnings to all the people.

①The hungry elephants ran into villages and ate farmers’ corn.
②The government did something to protect wild Asian elephants.
③A family of wild Asian elephants started their journey to the north.
④These elephants came back home safely and happily.

C. Elephants are Our Friends! D. Find a New Home!
【答案】54. D 55. A 56. C 57. A

According to a recent study, the Middle East is warming almost twice as fast as the rest of the world. Without a doubt, high temperatures will have deep influences on the development of the area.
That shows the growing risk to humans caused by extreme (极端的) weather. With more and more extreme weather events, we must find better techniques to make predictions (预测) about them.
AI is a powerful tool. It can deal with information and provide advice to help us better understand and make predictions about the weather. Traditional weather models use information from satellites (卫星). But these models have their disadvantages: they are not very exact. They also fail to discover complex conditions of the air around the earth.
AI can overcome (克服) these disadvantages by using the technology of deep learning. It can learn from historical and real-time information and produce trustworthy predictions. AI can also deal with information from different places, such as satellite photos or online posts, to provide clearer pictures of the weather situation. A paper on the Pangu-Weather AI model has drawn a lot of attention. Pangu-Weather is the first AI prediction model that is more exact than traditional weather prediction methods. This model can increase the prediction speed by 10,000 times, making global weather prediction time drop to seconds.
In May 2023, Typhoon Mawar appeared in the Pacific Ocean. According to the China Meteorological Administration, Pangu-Weather made exact predictions about the direction of Mawar five days before it changed its way in the eastern waters of the islands of Taiwan.
58. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. High temperatures will have few influences on the area.
B. The Middle East is warming faster than the rest of the world.
C. Traditional weather models can discover complex conditions of the air around the earth.
D. Traditional weather models use information from satellites and are very exact.
59. How can AI overcome the disadvantages of traditional weather models?
A. By using information from satellites.
B. By only learning from real-time information.
C. By using the technology of deep learning.
D. By dealing with information from the same places.
60. Why is Typhoon Mawar mentioned?
A. To show how exact Pangu-Weather’s predictions are.
B. To tell us about the risks of extreme weather.
C. To talk about how useless traditional weather models are.
D. To express that the problems of extreme weather have been solved completely.
61 What might be the best title of the text?
A. The Risks of Extreme Weather
B. The Pangu-Weather AI Model
C. The Climate Change in the Middle East
D. AI-The Powerful Tool of Weather Prediction

Mary began to like her life here. Every morning, she went outside after breakfast and spent most of the day in the grounds. The cold wind brought pink to her face. And she finished all of her food each evening. She was much healthier. After dinner, she liked sitting near the fire and talking to Martha.
“Why does Mr. Craven hate the locked garden?” Mary asked once.
“It was Mrs. Craven’s garden and she loved it. She looked after the flowers together with Mr. Craven. No gardeners were allowed in.”
“But what happened?” Mary asked,
“There was an old tree in the garden with a branch (树枝) like a seat, Mrs. Craven often sat there, reading and talking. One day, the branch broke and she fell down. She was badly hurt and died soon. Mr. Craven locked the garden and never talked about it.”
Mary seldom felt sorry for anyone, but now she understood how sad her uncle must be.

I (Robinson) showed him a pallet and a blanket and he fell quickly asleep. When waking up in the morning, he greeted me, down on his knees, with hands on his head. At first, we communicated primarily by body languages. Soon my new servant showed him much better at learning my language than I was learning at his. I studied him, and soon he could say his name, “Master”, “Yes” and “No”, and the names for various items. How good it was to hear a man’s voice again!
It took Friday time to grow used to the idea of hunting with a gun. I had to shoot several animals and birds before he stopped running away. For the next three years, I taught Friday how to use all my tools. Friday was quick to help with the farming and feeding. He worked hard and was obedient (服从).
One day, I took Friday to the highest point of the island where all the nearby islands could be seen. Suddenly, Friday began to jump up and down. He seemed quite excited with the sight of his own country. I began to think again about escape. Perhaps together we could leave for his country. But what then? Would Friday still be my friend, or would his people kill me and eat me? I took Friday to the other side of the island and showed him my big canoe, though it was quite old. “Could you imagine sailing to your country on it, Friday? Can it be a success?” I asked him. “Oh, yes,” he answered. “It can carry a lot of food and drink.”
But a moment later Friday looked very upset. “Are you angry with me?” he asked. “What have I done? Why do you want to send me away?”
“But I thought you wanted to go home,” I said.
