That bonus question asked students to create a new proof for the Pythagorean theorem (勾股定理), a fundamental principle of geometry, using trigonometry (三角学), which had been believed to be impossible for nearly 2,000 years. In December 2022, Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, seniors at St. Mary’ s Academy, stepped up to the challenge. The $500 prize money was a motivating factor. After months of work, they submitted their proofs to their teachers. With the contest behind them, their teachers encouraged the students to present at a mathematics conference, and then to seek to publish their work. Amazingly, despite their impressive achievements, they insisted they were not math geniuses. When they set out to create a new Pythagorean theorem proof, they didn’t know that for thousands of years, one using trigonometry was thought to be impossible. Calcea and Ne’Kiya had studied geometry and some trigonometry when they started working on their proofs, but they said they didn’t feel math was easy. As the contest went on, they spent almost all their free time developing their ideas. “The garbage can was full of paper. If that didn’t work, she would throw it in the trash,” Cal Johnson, Calcea’s. dad, said. Neliska Jackson, Ne’ Kiya’s mother, said that most of the time, her daughter’s work was beyond her work. To document their work, math teachers at St. Mary’s Academy submitted their proofs to an American Mathematical Society conference in Atlanta. “Our teacher approached us and asked us to actually present this,” Ne’Kiya said. “I was like, ‘Are you joking?’ But she wasn’t. So we went, got up there and presented and it went well, and it blew up. Last year when Ne’Kiya and Calcea graduated, they entered universities. Now in the universities, they’ve been working on further proofs of the Pythagorean theorem and believe they have found five more proofs. However, neither one is pursuing a career in math. “People might expect too much out of me if I become a mathematician,” Ne’Kiya said. 4. Why did Ne’Kiya and Calcea take up the challenge? A. They were talented in math. B. They were attracted by the prize. C. They thought it wasn’t that hard. D. They were inspired by their parents. 5. What can we know about Ne’Kiya and Calcea? A. They did well in study in middle school. B. They were aiming to make history. C. They learnt much from their teachers. D. They had some academic foundation about math. 6. How was Ne’Kiya and Calcea’s presentation at the conference? A. Interesting. B. Complicated. C. Successful. D. Imperfect. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Two Students Solved A 2,000-year Math Puzzle B. Trigonometry Can Prove The Pythagorean Theorem C. Two Geniuses Have Proven The Pythagorean Theorem D. A Teacher Pushed Students To Create New Proofs 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述新奥尔良两名高中生成功用三角学证明勾股定理，解决近2000年数学难题。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The $500 prize money was a motivating factor.(500 美元的奖金是一个激励因素。)”可知，这表明Ne’Kiya和Calcea接受挑战是因为被奖金所吸引。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Calcea and Ne’Kiya had studied geometry and some trigonometry when they started working on their proofs, but they said they didn’t feel math was easy.(Calcea和Ne'Kiya在开始证明时学习了几何和一些三角学，但他们说他们觉得数学不容易。)”可知，Calcea和Ne’Kiya在开始进行证明时已经学习了几何和一些三角学知识，这说明他们有一定的数学学术基础。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“‘I was like, ‘Are you joking?’ But she wasn’t. So we went, got up there and presented and it went well, and it blew up.(我说：‘你在开玩笑吗？’但她不是。所以我们去了，站在那里，展示了它，它进展顺利，引起了轰动。)”可知，这表明他们在会议上展示是成功的。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段第二句“That bonus question asked students to create a new proof for the Pythagorean theorem (勾股定理), a fundamental principle of geometry, using trigonometry (三角学), which had been believed to be impossible for nearly 2,000 years.(这个奖金问题要求学生使用三角学为几何学的基本原理的勾股定理创建一个新的证明，近2000年来，人们一直认为这是不可能的。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了Calcea Johnson和Ne’Kiya Jackson两位学生成功地用三角学为勾股定理创造了新的证明，解决了近2000年来被认为不可能的数学难题。所以A选项Two Students Solved A 2,000-year Math Puzzle(两名学生解决了一个有 2000 年历史的数学难题)符合文章主旨。故选B项。 C As the weather starts heating up, people prefer to go outside — but with the outdoors comes the possibility of getting bitten by mosquitoes. “Some individuals are bitten way more than others. Mosquitoes are remarkably good at trying to locate a person to drink their blood as their eyes, their vision, their nose — everything about them is geared towards (适合) finding us and biting us,” Jeffrey Riffell, a biology professor at the University of Washington said in a video. Riffell and his team discovered that male mosquitoes drink nectar (花蜜) from flowers to get sugar while female mosquitoes find humans “by following a trail of scent cues”. Mosquitoes are also drawn to certain colors — they love red and black, but tend to dislike white and green, Riffell added. “Unfortunately, they can learn. If you are very attractive and they bite you and drink your blood, they will then go back to you because they learned this kind of positive association,” Riffell said. “The good news is that they can learn to avoid you, so if you’re trying to swat (打) them, they’ll learn that and they’ll avoid you a little bit.” Mosquitoes can detect three different types of sugar sources, according to the video. One of those sources is fruits, and researchers are trying to create the scent that mosquitoes are drawn to. If the mosquitoes are attracted to that scent, then researchers can lace it with a toxin that can kill the insects. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has called the mosquito “the world’s deadliest animal” because the insects can spread diseases to humans. Research has found that climate change has led to an increased risk of diseases spread by mosquitoes. Last week, Southern Nevada Health District warned residents that the area was experiencing the highest level of mosquito activity in known history, with more than 3,000 mosquitoes testing positive for West Nile virus. “The information that we find in the laboratory has real-world implications and can really help, I think, many people in many different parts of the world,” Riffell said in the video. 8. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. It’s easy for mosquitoes to find their previous victims. B. Mosquitoes’ biological traits help them target humans. C. Mosquitoes prefer to bite a specific group of individuals. D. Environment plays a minor role in mosquitoes’ biting behavior. 9. Which of the following least affects your chance of getting mosquito bites? A. The scent you give off. B. The color of your clothes. C. Your daily consumption of sugar. D. Your past experience with mosquitoes. 10. What does the underlined word “lace” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Mix. B. Detect. C. Replace. D. Compare. 11. What does Jeffrey Riffell think of the research? A. It faces big challenges. B. It’s practically significant. C. It’s still in the early stages. D. It inspires other researches. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了蚊子偏爱叮咬某些人的原因，阐述了研究人员探索利用气味防治蚊子的思路，点明蚊子传播疾病的危害以及气候变化对其传播疾病风险的影响，强调了该研究的现实意义。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段““Some individuals are bitten way more than others. Mosquitoes are remarkably good at trying to locate a person to drink their blood as their eyes, their vision, their nose — everything about them is geared towards (适合) finding us and biting us,” Jeffrey Riffell, a biology professor at the University of Washington said in a video.(华盛顿大学的生物学教授Jeffrey Riffell在一段视频中说：‘有些人比其他人被咬得更多。蚊子非常擅长找到一个人来喝他们的血，因为它们的眼睛、视力、鼻子——它们的一切都是为了找到我们并咬我们。’)”可知，第二段主要阐述蚊子的生物学特性有助于它们锁定人类目标。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Riffell and his team discovered that male mosquitoes drink nectar (花蜜) from flowers to get sugar while female mosquitoes find humans “by following a trail of scent cues”. Mosquitoes are also drawn to certain colors---they love red and black, but tend to dislike white and green, Riffell added.( Riffell和他的团队发现，雄性蚊子喝花蜜来获取糖分，而雌性蚊子‘通过气味线索’找到人类。蚊子也会被某些颜色所吸引——它们喜欢红色和黑色，但往往不喜欢白色和绿色，Riffell补充说。)”和第四段““Unfortunately, they can learn. If you are very attractive and they bite you and drink your blood, they will then go back to you because they learned this kind of positive association,” Riffell said. “The good news is that they can learn to avoid you, so if you’re trying to swat (打) them, they’ll learn that and they’ll avoid you a little bit.”(‘不幸的是，它们可以学习。如果你非常有吸引力，它们会咬你，喝你的血，然后它们会回到你身边，因为它们学会了这种积极的联系。’Riffell说：‘好消息是，它们可以学会避开你，所以如果你想打它们，它们会学会避开你。’)”可知，气味和颜色会影响被蚊子叮咬的几率，过去与蚊子打交道的经历也会影响蚊子是否再次叮咬你；由此可知，C选项“你每天的糖摄入量”对蚊子叮咬的影响最小。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句中“If the mosquitoes are attracted to that scent(如果蚊子被这种气味吸引)”以及划线词后“with a toxin that can kill the insects.(和一种能杀死昆虫的毒素)”可知，如果蚊子被那种气味吸引，然后研究人员就能够将这种气味与具有灭蚊功效的毒素“混合”，来杀死蚊子。划线词lace表示“混合”，与mix含义相近。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““The information that we find in the laboratory has real-world implications and can really help, I think, many people in many different parts of the world,” Riffell said in the video.( Riffell在视频中说：‘我们在实验室中发现的信息具有现实意义，我认为可以真正帮助世界上许多不同地区的许多人。’)”可知，Jeffrey Riffell 提到这些在实验室的发现能够对现实世界产生影响，确实能够帮助世界上许多不同地区的很多人。由此可推知，Jeffrey Riffell认为该研究具有重要的现实意义。故选B。 D Have you ever wondered what chickens are talking about? Chickens are quite the communicators — their clucks, squawks and purrs are not just random sounds but a complex language system. These sounds are their way of interacting with the world and expressing joy, fear, and social connection to one another. Like humans, the “language” of chickens varies with age, environment, and surprisingly, domestication (驯化), giving us insights into their social structures and behaviours. Understanding these sounds can transform our approach to poultry (家禽) farming, enhancing chicken welfare and quality of life. Our research at Dalhousie University applies artificial intelligence (AI) to decode the language of chickens. It’s a project that is set to revolutionize our understanding of these feathered creatures and their communication methods, offering a window into their world that was previously closed to us. The use of AI and machine learning is like having a universal translator for chicken speech. AI can analyze vast amounts of audio data. Our algorithms (算法) are learning to recognize patterns and tiny differences in chicken sounds. This isn’t a simple task — chickens have a range of sounds that vary in pitch, tone, and context. But by using advanced data analysis techniques, we’re beginning to crack their code. This breakthrough in animal communication is not just a scientific achievement; it’s a step towards more humane and empathetic treatment of farm animals. One of the most exciting aspects of this research is understanding the emotional content behind these sounds. Are they stressed? Are they content? By understanding their emotional state, we can make more informed decisions about their care and environment. This project isn’t just about academic curiosity; it has real-world implications. We’re not only unlocking the secrets of avian (鸟类的) communication but also setting new standards for animal welfare. 12. What can be learned about chickens? A. They lack emotions. B. They behave randomly. C. They are communicative. D. They talk oddly. 13. What benefit will chickens get from the project? A. Better care. B. Faster growth rates. C. Better food quality. D. Enhanced social skills. 14. What is a highlight of the research? A. Revealing chickens’ behaviours. B. Understanding chickens’ emotions. C. Analyzing chickens’ living environment. D. Discovering advanced feeding methods. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Enhancing animal welfare by AI. B. The secret of chickens’ life. C. Unlocking chickens’ language by AI. D. The future of poultry farming. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了达尔豪西大学的研究人员利用人工智能解码鸡的语言，这一突破不仅是一项科学成就，更是朝着更人道、更有同理心地对待农场动物迈出的一步。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Chickens are quite the communicators — their clucks, squawks and purrs are not just random sounds but a complex language system.(鸡是非常善于交流的动物——它们的咯咯声、尖叫声和咕噜声不仅仅是随机的声音，而是一个复杂的语言系统。)”可知，鸡是非常善于交流的。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Understanding these sounds can transform our approach to poultry (家禽) farming, enhancing chicken welfare and quality of life.(理解这些声音能够改变我们的家禽饲养方式，从而提升鸡的福利和生活质量。)”和第三段“This breakthrough in animal communication is not just a scientific achievement; it’s a step towards more humane and empathetic treatment of farm animals.(这一在动物交流方面的突破不仅仅是一项科学成就；它是朝着更人道、更有同理心地对待农场动物迈出的一步。)”可推知，鸡从这个项目中能得到更好的照顾。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One of the most exciting aspects of this research is understanding the emotional content behind these sounds.(这项研究最令人兴奋的方面之一是理解这些声音背后的情感内容。)”可知，这项研究的亮点是理解鸡的情感。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段提到“Our research at Dalhousie University applies artificial intelligence (AI) to decode the language of chickens. It’s a project that is set to revolutionize our understanding of these feathered creatures and their communication methods, offering a window into their world that was previously closed to us.(我们在达尔豪西大学的研究利用人工智能解码鸡的语言。这个项目将彻底改变我们对这些有羽毛的生物及其交流方式的理解，为我们打开了一扇通往它们世界的窗户，而这扇窗户以前对我们来说是关闭的。)”可知，本文主要讲的是达尔豪西大学的研究人员利用人工智能解码鸡的语言。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Procrastination (拖延) is a common issue when it comes to homework.

It was about eighty centimeters wide and ten centimeters tall. Not only was it a visual obstacle (障碍), but it was a nightmare for anyone who set foot in the vegetable garden. Those inattentive passers-by often kicked it and ended up either tripping or hurting their knees. Even the owner’s family suffered greatly. One day, the owner’s son, Andrew, who was hurt by the rock, asked his father a question. He said, “Dad, why don’t we move that troublesome rock?” Andrew’s voice was filled with frustration and despair. The father sighed and replied, “That rock? It has been there since your grandfather’s time. Its size is huge and no one knows how long it will take to dig it out. Instead of pointlessly digging for the rock, we should pay attention to our feet and improve our reflexes (本能反应).” The father’s words were practical, but there was also a sense of helplessness, because he had long ago accepted the rock as an unshakeable part of his life. Years passed, and the rock remained, a silent guard in the garden. Andrew grew up, married, and became a father himself. The garden, once a place of his childhood adventures, now held the childhood of his own children. One day, Andrew’s wife, Victoria, visibly upset, said, “Darling, our son tripped over the rock this morning. The huge rock in the garden is really getting on my nerves. Let’s hire someone to move it away.” Her voice was firm, and she was determined to solve the problem. However, Andrew shook his head, “It’s too heavy. If it could have been moved, it would have been done when I was a child. It has been there for ages.” His eyes held a faraway look, as if he were looking back into the past, seeing his own father standing in the same spot, offering the same words of caution. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, Victoria was not one to be easily discouraged. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To Victoria’s surprise, the rock began to loosen in a few minutes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 However, Victoria was not one to be easily discouraged. The rock had caused her to fall more times than she could count. Each fall was a reminder that the rock decided her life. One morning, she decided to take action. She brought the tools for digging and a bucket of water. She went to the rock and poured water around the rock, allowing it to seep into the earth and soften the rock. After a few minutes, she started to use the tools to loosen the dirt around the rock. Each time she used the tools, it seemed like she was saying that she wanted to beat the rock. To Victoria’s surprise, the rock began to loosen in a few minutes. A few more pulls and it came loose from the ground. When she saw the rock, she realized it wasn’t as huge as it looked. The true size of the rock was masked by generations of fears and assumptions. She told Andrew about it. They moved the rock away with their neighbours. How delighted they were! Andrew has learned from Victoria that if we always see the negative, we will never achieve our goals. The rock used to be a symbol of impossible challenges, but now it teaches us that seeing things differently and being brave can help us overcome problems. 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕一块位于菜园中的巨石展开，这块巨石由菜园主人的祖先留下，成为了菜园中的一个巨大障碍。它不仅影响美观，更是给进入菜园的人带来了诸多不便。多年来，尽管菜园主人的家族深受其害，却无人敢轻易尝试移除它。然而，这一切在菜园主人的儿媳维多利亚身上发生了改变。她决定不再忍受这块巨石带来的困扰，勇敢地采取了行动。接下来，本文将详细叙述维多利亚如何克服重重困难，最终成功移除巨石的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“然而，维多利亚并不是一个容易气馁的人。”可知，第一段可描写Victoria没有被轻易劝阻，而是决定采取行动，用水和工具开始松动岩石周围的泥土。 ②由第二段首句内容“令维多利亚惊讶的是，几分钟后岩石开始松动。”可知，第二段可描写岩石很快松动并被移走，Andrew意识到岩石没有看起来那么大，他们和邻居一起移走了岩石，Andrew从Victoria身上学到了要积极看待问题。 2.续写线索：Victoria不被劝阻——Victoria采取行动——Victoria松动泥土——岩石松动——移走岩石——Andrew意识到问题——Andrew感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：decide/determine ②打败：beat/defeat ③移走：move away/remove 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/dread ②高兴的：delighted/joyful 【点睛】[高分句型1] She went to the rock and poured water around the rock, allowing it to seep into the earth and soften the rock.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] The rock used to be a symbol of impossible challenges, but now it teaches us that seeing things differently and being brave can help us overcome problems.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 1—5 CCBBA 6—10 ACBCA 11—15 CCABB 16—20 ACBBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025届定西市普通高中高三年级教学质量统一检测试题(卷) 英语 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

That bonus question asked students to create a new proof for the Pythagorean theorem (勾股定理), a fundamental principle of geometry, using trigonometry (三角学), which had been believed to be impossible for nearly 2,000 years. In December 2022, Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, seniors at St. Mary’ s Academy, stepped up to the challenge. The $500 prize money was a motivating factor. After months of work, they submitted their proofs to their teachers. With the contest behind them, their teachers encouraged the students to present at a mathematics conference, and then to seek to publish their work. Amazingly, despite their impressive achievements, they insisted they were not math geniuses. When they set out to create a new Pythagorean theorem proof, they didn’t know that for thousands of years, one using trigonometry was thought to be impossible. Calcea and Ne’Kiya had studied geometry and some trigonometry when they started working on their proofs, but they said they didn’t feel math was easy. As the contest went on, they spent almost all their free time developing their ideas. “The garbage can was full of paper. If that didn’t work, she would throw it in the trash,” Cal Johnson, Calcea’s. dad, said. Neliska Jackson, Ne’ Kiya’s mother, said that most of the time, her daughter’s work was beyond her work. To document their work, math teachers at St. Mary’s Academy submitted their proofs to an American Mathematical Society conference in Atlanta. “Our teacher approached us and asked us to actually present this,” Ne’Kiya said. “I was like, ‘Are you joking?’ But she wasn’t. So we went, got up there and presented and it went well, and it blew up. Last year when Ne’Kiya and Calcea graduated, they entered universities. Now in the universities, they’ve been working on further proofs of the Pythagorean theorem and believe they have found five more proofs. However, neither one is pursuing a career in math. “People might expect too much out of me if I become a mathematician,” Ne’Kiya said. 4. Why did Ne’Kiya and Calcea take up the challenge? A. They were talented in math. B. They were attracted by the prize. C. They thought it wasn’t that hard. D. They were inspired by their parents. 5. What can we know about Ne’Kiya and Calcea? A. They did well in study in middle school. B. They were aiming to make history. C. They learnt much from their teachers. D. They had some academic foundation about math. 6. How was Ne’Kiya and Calcea’s presentation at the conference? A. Interesting. B. Complicated. C. Successful. D. Imperfect. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Two Students Solved A 2,000-year Math Puzzle B. Trigonometry Can Prove The Pythagorean Theorem C. Two Geniuses Have Proven The Pythagorean Theorem D. A Teacher Pushed Students To Create New Proofs C As the weather starts heating up, people prefer to go outside — but with the outdoors comes the possibility of getting bitten by mosquitoes. “Some individuals are bitten way more than others. Mosquitoes are remarkably good at trying to locate a person to drink their blood as their eyes, their vision, their nose — everything about them is geared towards (适合) finding us and biting us,” Jeffrey Riffell, a biology professor at the University of Washington said in a video. Riffell and his team discovered that male mosquitoes drink nectar (花蜜) from flowers to get sugar while female mosquitoes find humans “by following a trail of scent cues”. Mosquitoes are also drawn to certain colors — they love red and black, but tend to dislike white and green, Riffell added. “Unfortunately, they can learn. If you are very attractive and they bite you and drink your blood, they will then go back to you because they learned this kind of positive association,” Riffell said. “The good news is that they can learn to avoid you, so if you’re trying to swat (打) them, they’ll learn that and they’ll avoid you a little bit.” Mosquitoes can detect three different types of sugar sources, according to the video. One of those sources is fruits, and researchers are trying to create the scent that mosquitoes are drawn to. If the mosquitoes are attracted to that scent, then researchers can lace it with a toxin that can kill the insects. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has called the mosquito “the world’s deadliest animal” because the insects can spread diseases to humans. Research has found that climate change has led to an increased risk of diseases spread by mosquitoes. Last week, Southern Nevada Health District warned residents that the area was experiencing the highest level of mosquito activity in known history, with more than 3,000 mosquitoes testing positive for West Nile virus. “The information that we find in the laboratory has real-world implications and can really help, I think, many people in many different parts of the world,” Riffell said in the video. 8. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. It’s easy for mosquitoes to find their previous victims. B. Mosquitoes’ biological traits help them target humans. C. Mosquitoes prefer to bite a specific group of individuals. D. Environment plays a minor role in mosquitoes’ biting behavior. 9. Which of the following least affects your chance of getting mosquito bites? A. The scent you give off. B. The color of your clothes. C. Your daily consumption of sugar. D. Your past experience with mosquitoes. 10. What does the underlined word “lace” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Mix. B. Detect. C. Replace. D. Compare. 11. What does Jeffrey Riffell think of the research? A. It faces big challenges. B. It’s practically significant. C. It’s still in the early stages. D. It inspires other researches. D Have you ever wondered what chickens are talking about? Chickens are quite the communicators — their clucks squawks and purrs are not just random sounds but a complex language system. These sounds are their way of interacting with the world and expressing joy, fear, and social connection to one another. Like humans, the “language” of chickens varies with age, environment, and surprisingly, domestication (驯化), giving us insights into their social structures and behaviours. Understanding these sounds can transform our approach to poultry (家禽) farming, enhancing chicken welfare and quality of life. Our research at Dalhousie University applies artificial intelligence (AI) to decode the language of chickens. It’s a project that is set to revolutionize our understanding of these feathered creatures and their communication methods, offering a window into their world that was previously closed to us. The use of AI and machine learning is like having a universal translator for chicken speech. AI can analyze vast amounts of audio data. Our algorithms (算法) are learning to recognize patterns and tiny differences in chicken sounds. This isn’t a simple task — chickens have a range of sounds that vary in pitch, tone, and context. But by using advanced data analysis techniques, we’re beginning to crack their code. This breakthrough in animal communication is not just a scientific achievement; it’s a step towards more humane and empathetic treatment of farm animals. One of the most exciting aspects of this research is understanding the emotional content behind these sounds. Are they stressed? Are they content? By understanding their emotional state, we can make more informed decisions about their care and environment. This project isn’t just about academic curiosity; it has real-world implications. We’re not only unlocking the secrets of avian (鸟类的) communication but also setting new standards for animal welfare. 12. What can be learned about chickens? A. They lack emotions. B. They behave randomly. C. They are communicative. D. They talk oddly. 13. What benefit will chickens get from the project? A. Better care. B. Faster growth rates. C. Better food quality. D. Enhanced social skills. 14. What is a highlight of the research? A. Revealing chickens’ behaviours. B. Understanding chickens’ emotions. C. Analyzing chickens’ living environment. D. Discovering advanced feeding methods. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Enhancing animal welfare by AI. B. The secret of chickens’ life. C Unlocking chickens’ language by AI. D. The future of poultry farming. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Procrastination (拖延) is a common issue when it comes to homework.

It was about eighty centimeters wide and ten centimeters tall. Not only was it a visual obstacle (障碍), but it was a nightmare for anyone who set foot in the vegetable garden. Those inattentive passers-by often kicked it and ended up either tripping or hurting their knees. Even the owner’s family suffered greatly. One day, the owner’s son, Andrew, who was hurt by the rock, asked his father a question. He said, “Dad, why don’t we move that troublesome rock?” Andrew’s voice was filled with frustration and despair. The father sighed and replied, “That rock? It has been there since your grandfather’s time. Its size is huge and no one knows how long it will take to dig it out. Instead of pointlessly digging for the rock, we should pay attention to our feet and improve our reflexes (本能反应).” The father’s words were practical, but there was also a sense of helplessness, because he had long ago accepted the rock as an unshakeable part of his life. Years passed, and the rock remained, a silent guard in the garden. Andrew grew up, married, and became a father himself. The garden, once a place of his childhood adventures, now held the childhood of his own children. One day, Andrew’s wife, Victoria, visibly upset, said, “Darling, our son tripped over the rock this morning. The huge rock in the garden is really getting on my nerves. Let’s hire someone to move it away.” Her voice was firm, and she was determined to solve the problem. However, Andrew shook his head, “It’s too heavy. If it could have been moved, it would have been done when I was a child. It has been there for ages.” His eyes held a faraway look, as if he were looking back into the past, seeing his own father standing in the same spot, offering the same words of caution. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 However, Victoria was not one to be easily discouraged. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To Victoria’s surprise, the rock began to loosen in a few minutes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 CCBBA 6—10 ACBCA 11—15 CCABB 16—20 ACBBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
