The 37-year-old researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Zoology was not able to talk until he was 4 years old because of the way his brain processes sensory (感官) information. This made him “strange” in some people’s minds. So, he didn’t have friends who were around his age, which led him to turn his attention to nonhuman things around him. He became enraptured by the world of insects. “The happiest time of my childhood was in the farm fields,” says Chen. “I squatted there, observing the actions of insects. I had so many questions about their activities and was full of curiosity about this world.” These experiences planted a seed in his heart. Many years later, he’s an expert in life-science research. He has visited the Amazon rainforest several times, and has found around 100 new species (物种), many of which are named after him. “I was a child who was ‘cured (治愈)’ by nature,” he says. “I wanted to grow up to share the power of nature with more young people and to popularize understanding of animals, including insects. I wanted to start classes to bring children to learn in the open air and experience the gifts nature gives.” These led him to recently publish the popular science book, Du Chong Ji (Reading About Insects). “Insects were the earliest creatures that could fly and feed themselves by farming. They have survived three mass extinctions (大规模灭绝). No other living things have won such victories.” He hopes that people will learn and draw inspiration from the “superpowers” of insects and use it to improve their own lives. 31. Chen Rui was considered a “strange” kid because ________. A. he was a late talker B. he preferred to stay alone C. he enjoyed reading books D. he was so curious about nature 32. The underlined word “enraptured” in paragraph 2 means ________. A. confused B. fascinated C. moved D. troubled 33. What are the main achievements of Chen Rui according to the passage? ①Producing a book ②Teaching in a university ③Discovering new species ④Exploring nature with children A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ③④ 34. What’s the genre (体裁) of this passage? A. A tale exploring fictional events. B. A report showing experimental results. C. An essay discussing the nature of knowledge. D. A profile describing a person’s experiences and success. 35. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Making It to the Top B. Going Back to Nature C. Chen Rui’s Journey with Insects D. Insects Discovered by Chen Rui 【答案】31. A 32. B 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了中国科学院动物研究所的研究员陈睿，他因为大脑处理感官信息的方式而晚说话，这使他与众不同，但也因此对昆虫产生了浓厚的兴趣，最终成为了一位生命科学研究领域的专家。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Nature was Chen Rui’s ‘childhood home’. The 37-year-old researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Zoology was not able to talk until he was 4 years old because of the way his brain processes sensory (感官) information.”可知，陈睿因为大脑处理感官信息的方式而晚说话，这使他在一些人眼中显得“奇怪”。故选A。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“He became enraptured by the world of insects.”并结合上下文可知，他对昆虫的世界着迷。由此可推知，画线词“enraptured”应意为 “着迷的”, 与“fascinated”意思相近。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He has visited the Amazon rainforest several times, and has found around 100 new species (物种), many of which are named after him.”以及“These led him to recently publish the popular science book, Du Chong Ji (Reading About Insects)”可知，陈睿的主要成就包括发现新物种和出版书籍。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要描述了陈睿的经历和成就，是一篇描述一个人的经历和成功的人物简介。故选D。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文内容，尤其是陈睿与昆虫的联系以及他的旅程，可知最适合本文的标题是“Chen Rui’s Journey with Insects”。故选C。 AI could make it less necessary to learn a foreign language. That’s good news for travelers, but bad news for soulful connection. Travel has long been one of the reasons for study unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good enough service. Some are worried that apps are turning language learning into a weakening need. Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a not so fluent (流畅的) speech in Chinese, which required a lot of work but offered a great sense of achievement in the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest? ★ They don’t take the weakening as a big deal. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of continual contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the effort to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of developing themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer or pizza. As AI translation becomes a more popular labor-saving tool, people will divide into two groups, just as the above. There will be those who want to challenge their minds, put themselves in other cultures or force their thinking into new ways. This group will take on language learning, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might say with extreme sports (极限运动): “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.” However, a focus on the learner alone misses the basically social nature of language. It is a bit like discussing the advantages of close relationship to heart health but turning a blind eye to the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in simple German, you are making direct communication with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put stress on an argument, that connection is till deeper. 36. Paragraph 2 and 3 hold the view that ________. A. communication through AI tools is direct B. AI tools provide a one-way communicative process C. AI tools weaken the needs of language learning D. using AI tools is becoming more and more popular 37. According to paragraph 2, Douglas’ attitude towards AI tools is ________. A. negative B. unworried C. unclear D. supportive 38. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. We should make great efforts to learn. B. It’s necessary to learn by technology C. Most people depend less on it. D. Others are less worried. 39. Which of the following might the “Others” in paragraph 4 agree with? A. People should develop their minds. B. AI translation tools offer a good service C. Extreme sports are worth trying D. Language learning can not be replaced. 40. According to the last paragraph, the true meaning of language learning is ________. A. to improve cultural exchanges B. to develop communication skills C. to strengthen connections with others D. to add fun to storytelling experience 【答案】36. C 37. A 38. D 39. B 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了人工智能可能使学习外语的必要性降低这一现象，有人对此表示担忧，也有人不太在意，同时指出语言学习具有社交本质，其真正意义在于加强与他人的联系。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Some are worried that apps are turning language learning into a weakening need.”和第三段中的“They don’t take the weakening as a big deal.”可知,，作者认为 AI工具弱化了学习语言的需求。故选 C。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He describes giving a not so fluent ( 流畅的 ) speech in Chinese, which required a lot of work but offered a great sense of achievement in the end.”可知，Douglas Hofstadter 对于通过机器进行交流持负面态度，他认为这种交流方式失去了某种重要的东西。故选 A。 【38题详解】 主旨大意题。空处是本段的主题句。根据第三段内容尤其是空处后的“They don’t take the weakening as a big deal.”可知，一些人并不将语言学习需求的减弱看作是大事。因此 D 项 “ 其他人则不那么担心。”概括了本段的大意，适合作本段的小标题。故选D。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion...”可知，他们对学习新语言持有一种混合着钦佩和困惑的态度。他们认为学习新语言是件好事，但可能并不适合自己，或者他们觉得没有必要为了旅行等目的而学习一门新语言。由此可推知，他们可能会认为 AI 翻译工具提供了足够好的服务。故选B。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in simple German, you are making direct communication with someone.”可知，语言学习的真正意义在于加强与他人的联系。故选C。 四、词与短语填空 (共1小题, 每小题10分, 满分10分) height / carried /weight / strong / build / covered / thanks to Have you ever seen a capybara (水豚)?

Nature was Chen Rui’s “childhood home” The 37-year-old researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Zoology was not able to talk until he was 4 years old because of the way his brain processes sensory (感官) information. This made him “strange” in some people’s minds. So, he didn’t have friends who were around his age, which led him to turn his attention to nonhuman things around him. He became enraptured by the world of insects. “The happiest time of my childhood was in the farm fields,” says Chen. “I squatted there, observing the actions of insects. I had so many questions about their activities and was full of curiosity about this world.” These experiences planted a seed in his heart. Many years later, he’s an expert in life-science research. He has visited the Amazon rainforest several times, and has found around 100 new species (物种), many of which are named after him. “I was a child who was ‘cured (治愈)’ by nature,” he says. “I wanted to grow up to share the power of nature with more young people and to popularize understanding of animals, including insects. I wanted to start classes to bring children to learn in the open air and experience the gifts nature gives.” These led him to recently publish the popular science book, Du Chong Ji (Reading About Insects). “Insects were the earliest creatures that could fly and feed themselves by farming. They have survived three mass extinctions (大规模灭绝). No other living things have won such victories.” He hopes that people will learn and draw inspiration from the “superpowers” of insects and use it to improve their own lives. 31. Chen Rui was considered a “strange” kid because ________. A. he was a late talker B. he preferred to stay alone C. he enjoyed reading books D. he was so curious about nature 32. The underlined word “enraptured” in paragraph 2 means ________. A. confused B. fascinated C. moved D. troubled 33. What are the main achievements of Chen Rui according to the passage? ①Producing a book ②Teaching in a university ③Discovering new species ④Exploring nature with children A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ③④ 34. What’s the genre (体裁) of this passage? A. A tale exploring fictional events. B. A report showing experimental results. C. An essay discussing the nature of knowledge. D. A profile describing a person’s experiences and success. 35. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Making It to the Top B. Going Back to Nature C. Chen Rui’s Journey with Insects D. Insects Discovered by Chen Rui AI could make it less necessary to learn a foreign language. That’s good news for travelers, but bad news for soulful connection. Travel has long been one of the reasons for study unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good enough service. Some are worried that apps are turning language learning into a weakening need. Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a not so fluent (流畅的) speech in Chinese, which required a lot of work but offered a great sense of achievement in the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest? ★ They don’t take the weakening as a big deal. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of continual contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the effort to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of developing themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer or pizza. As AI translation becomes a more popular labor-saving tool, people will divide into two groups, just as the above. There will be those who want to challenge their minds, put themselves in other cultures or force their thinking into new ways. This group will take on language learning, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might say with extreme sports (极限运动): “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.” However, a focus on the learner alone misses the basically social nature of language. It is a bit like discussing the advantages of close relationship to heart health but turning a blind eye to the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in simple German, you are making direct communication with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put stress on an argument, that connection is till deeper. 36. Paragraph 2 and 3 hold the view that ________. A. communication through AI tools is direct B. AI tools provide a one-way communicative process C. AI tools weaken the needs of language learning D. using AI tools is becoming more and more popular 37. According to paragraph 2, Douglas’ attitude towards AI tools is ________. A. negative B. unworried C. unclear D. supportive 38. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. We should make great efforts to learn. B. It’s necessary to learn by technology C. Most people depend less on it. D. Others are less worried. 39. Which of the following might the “Others” in paragraph 4 agree with? A. People should develop their minds. B. AI translation tools offer a good service C Extreme sports are worth trying D. Language learning can not be replaced. 40. According to the last paragraph, the true meaning of language learning is ________. A. to improve cultural exchanges B. to develop communication skills C. to strengthen connections with others D. to add fun to storytelling experience 四、词与短语填空 (共1小题, 每小题10分, 满分10分) height / carried /weight / strong / build / covered / thanks to Have you ever seen a capybara (水豚)?
