Zhao explains, “The work of forest police is different from the police officers in cities. For us, the abundant forest with various wild animals running around carefree is our mission, which is also the value of our job.” The Greater Hinggan Mountains, stretching from Heilongjiang province to Inner Mongolia, host the country’s largest forest. Zhao and Li’s branch oversees 357, 427 hectares, with forest covering 339, 520 hectares, which means a climate of unpredictable extremes throughout the year. The region experiences harsh winters and short, hot summers, with temperatures dropping to-50°C, making it one of the coldest areas in the country. After graduating from college in 1990, the then 21-year-old Zhao became a forest police officer and has dedicated himself to safeguarding this region against the challenges posed by extreme weather and wildlife. Li, who joined the branch in 2017, is a post-1990s generation police officer. She takes pride in her job, although it quite differs from the heroic images in crime-fighting movies that inspired her to pursue law enforcement. Daily patrols of Zhao and Li cover nearly 100 kilometers by car and over 30 kilometers on foot despite the harsh conditions. They have patrolled in extreme cold and protected forests after seven years’ cooperation. “I have spent years here in the company of these forests. I know where the flowers bloom, where the birds sing, and where the deer roam. I see the wildlife and plant life flourishing. It fills me with immense pride,” Li reflects. Over the years, forest police officers like Zhao and Li have made significant contributions in guaranteeing the region’s environmental conservation, ensuring the protection of its diverse ecosystems. Their devotion helps maintain the natural beauty and wildlife of this important region. 4. What is the mission of forest police? A. Enforcing the law in cities. B. Doing research on wildlife. C. Monitoring climate of forests. D. Protecting forests and wildlife. 5. What challenge do Zhao and Li face during the patrols? A. Rescuing injured animals. B. Fighting against constant crimes. C. Navigating extreme weather conditions. D. Working irregular hours without breaks. 6. How does Li feel about her job? A. Exhausted but long-awaited. B. Tough but fulfilled. C. Discouraged but highly-respected. D. Doubtful but excited. 7. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Guardians of the Forests. B. Explorers of Bio-diversity. C. Advocates of Natural beauty. D. Protectors of Persona Safety. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章通过报道两位森林警察工作的任务和历程，赞扬了森林守卫者为环境保护作作出的贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For us, the abundant forest with various wild animals running around carefree is our mission, which is also the value of our job.(对于我们来说，丰富的森林和各种野生动物无忧无虑地跑来跑去是我们的使命，也是我们工作的价值所在)”可知，与城市警察不同，森林警察的任务是保护森立和野生动植物。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Zhao and Li’s branch oversees 357, 427 hectares, with forest covering 339, 520 hectares, which means a climate of unpredictable extremes throughout the year. The region experiences harsh winters and short, hot summers, with temperatures dropping to-50°C, making it one of the coldest areas in the country.(赵和李的分公司管理着357427公顷的土地，其中森林面积为339520公顷，这意味着全年的极端气候不可预测。该地区经历了严酷的冬季和短暂炎热的夏季，气温降至50°C，使其成为该国最冷的地区之一)”可知，在森林警察日间巡逻的挑战是要应对极端天气。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Daily patrols of Zhao and Li cover nearly 100 kilometers by car and over 30 kilometers on foot despite the harsh conditions.(尽管条件恶劣，赵和李每天开车巡逻近100公里，步行30多公里)”和第四段“I have spent years here in the company of these forests. I know where the flowers bloom, where the birds sing, and where the deer roam. I see the wildlife and plant life flourishing. It fills me with immense pride(我在这里与这些森林为伴已经很多年了。我知道哪里有鲜花盛开，哪里有鸟儿歌唱，哪里有鹿出没。我看到野生动物和植物的生命蓬勃发展。这让我感到无比自豪)”可知，尽管森林警察这份职业与打击犯罪电影的英雄形象很不同，她仍然对于她的职业感到骄傲。即使每日的巡逻任务很辛苦，但能够看到花开，听到鸟鸣，她感到很满足。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Over the years, forest police officers like Zhao and Li have made significant contributions in guaranteeing the region’s environmental conservation, ensuring the protection of its diverse ecosystems. Their devotion helps maintain the natural beauty and wildlife of this important region.(多年来，像赵和李这样的森林警察为保障该地区的环境保护做出了重大贡献，确保了对其多样化生态系统的保护。他们的奉献有助于维护这个重要地区的自然美景和野生动物)”以及文章通过介绍两位森林警察的工作日常和职业过程，称赞他们对于保护森林和野生动植物的贡献，因此选项A “森林守卫”最能突出文章内容和立意。故选A。 C Think back to the last time you take down a quick note or made a grocery list. Chances are, it wasn’t with pen and paper. Over the past decade, keyboards and screens have quietly replaced handwriting in our daily routines, from classrooms to office meetings. Yet, research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive (认知的) benefits that digital tools can’t copy. Brain networks in children are like faint and winding paths in a forest, says Audrey Meer, a professor of neuropsychology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. With practice and experience, these paths can become motorways that connect different parts of the brain to transport information fast and efficiently. In a study published last January, Audrey Meer and her co-author Ruud Weel looked at brain scans of 36 children who performed writing tasks. The students were asked to write words using a digital pen on a touchscreen device or typing them on a keyboard. The participants’ brain activity during each task was captured through electroencephalogram (EEG) techniques. “The most surprising thing was that the whole brain was active when they were writing by hand, while much smaller areas were active when they were typewriting,” Audrey Meer says. “This suggests that when you are writing by hand you are using most of your brain to get the job done.” Moreover, the study reported that the different parts of the brain activated by handwriting communicated with each other through brain waves associated with learning. Audrey Meer says, “We found those variations were active during handwriting but not during typewriting.” As a result, researchers are encouraging the perseveration of handwriting skills. In Norway, many schools stopped teaching handwriting, instead opting for pupils to write and read on an iPad, a trend Audrey Meer hopes to change through her research. “I think we should have at least a minimum of handwriting in primary school curricula simply because it is so good for the developing brain,” she says. 8. What message do the underlined words in paragraph 2 seem to convey? A. The Brain networks in children are weak and indirect. B. The Brain networks in children are positive and stable. C. The Brain networks in children are associated and simple. D. The Brain networks in children are efficient and developed. 9. How was the study carried out? A. By testing EEG techniques. B. By assigning writing tasks. C. By studying published findings. D. By questioning the participants. 10. Why does the handwriting outweigh type writing according to Audrey Meer? A. It engages more areas of the brain. B. It ensures higher efficiency in note-taking. C. It represents a person’s thoughts more accurately. D. It improves children’s spelling and grammar skills. 11. What is the experts’ suggestion for the schools? A. Focusing on teaching typing skills. B. Encouraging the use of electronic devices. C. Offering a certain amount of handwriting lessons. D. Holding various activities for students’ communication. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出在日常生活中键盘和屏幕逐渐取代手写，但研究表明手写有数字工具无法比拟的认知益处，专家建议学校保留一定的手写课程。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词所在句“Brain networks in children are like faint and winding paths in a forest (儿童的大脑神经网络就像森林中模糊蜿蜒的小径)”把儿童的大脑比喻成“模糊蜿蜒的小径”。下文“With practice and experience, these paths can become motorways that connect different parts of the brain to transport information fast and efficiently.(通过练习和积累经验，这些路径可以变成高速公路，将大脑的不同部分连接起来，快速有效地传递信息)”说明只有通过练习和积累经验，这此小径才可以快速有效地传递信息，由此推知，它们之前是“脆弱且间接的”，与“The Brain networks in children are weak and indirect.(儿童的大脑网络是脆弱和间接的)”同义。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In a study published last January, Audrey Meer and her co author Ruud Weel looked at brain scans of 36 children who performed writing tasks. The students were asked to write words using a digital pen on a touchscreen device or typing them on a keyboard (在去年一月发表的一项研究中，奥黛丽·米尔和她的合著者鲁德·韦尔观察了36名完成书写任务的儿童的脑部扫描图。学生们被要求用数字笔在触摸屏设备上写字或在键盘上打字)”可知，该研究是通过给学生布置书写任务来进行的。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中Audrey Meer的话“The most surprising thing was that the whole brain was active when they were writing by hand, while much smaller areas were active when they were typewriting (最令人惊讶的是，当他们手写时，整个大脑都处于活跃状态，而当他们打字时，只有小得多的区域处于活跃状态)”可知，手写能让大脑更多区域参与活动。故选A项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I think we should have at least a minimum of handwriting in primary school curricula simply because it is so good for the developing brain (我认为小学课程中至少应该有一定量的手写课程，仅仅是因为它对大脑发育非常有益)”可知，专家建议学校提供一定数量的手写课程。故选C项。 D People around the globe have suffered the anxiety of waiting months to find out if their homes have been damaged by wildfires. Now, once the smoke has cleared for aerial photography, researchers have found a way to identify building damage within minutes. Through a system called DamageMap, a team at Stanford University has brought an AI approach to building assessment: Instead of comparing before-and-after photos, they’ve trained a program using machine learning to rely only on post-fire images. The current method of assessing damage involves people going door-to-door to check every building. While DamageMap is not intended to replace in-person damage assessment, it could be used as a supplementary tool by offering immediate results and providing the exact locations of the affected buildings. The researchers tested it using a variety of satellite and aerial photography with at least 92 percent accuracy. Most computational systems now cannot efficiently classify building damage because the AI compares post-disaster photos with pre-disaster images that must use the same satellite, camera angle and lighting conditions, which can be expensive to obtain or unavailable. Therefore, DamageMap first uses pre-fire photos to map the area and confirm building locations. Then, the program analyzes post-wildfire images to identify damage through features like blackened surfaces, collapsed roofs or the absence of structures. Structural damage from wildfires in California is typically divided into four categories: almost no damage, minor damage, major damage or destroyed. Because DamageMap is based on aerial images, the researchers quickly realized the system could not make such detailed assessments and trained the machine to simply determine if there was a fire damage or not. Because the team used a deep learning technique, their model can continue to be improved by feeding it more data. The researchers said the tool can be applied to any area suffering from wildfires and hope it could also be trained to classify damages from other disasters, such as floods or hurricanes. “So far our results suggest that this can be generalized, and we can keep improving it,” said lead study author Marios Galanis, a graduate student at Stanford’s School of Engineering. 12. What is the advantage of using DamageMap? A. It helps improve the evaluation efficiency. B. It operates automatically after self-learning. C. It analyzes large numbers of disaster photos. D. It takes the place of the traditional measures. 13. How does DamageMap work? A. It identifies damage with pre-fire photos. B. It confirms locations with post-fire photos. C. It assesses damage through the features of buildings. D. It maps the fire-affected area through comparing photos. 14. What would the future study focus on according to Marios Galanis? A. Accuracy improvement. B. A wider range of application. C. Techniques development. D. A higher speed of machine learning. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The impact of wildfires on local residents. B. Main challenges to classify structural damage. C. Possible solutions to identify natural disasters. D. An AI system for rapid fire damage evaluation. 【答案】12 A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一个新AI系统DamageMap，可作为一个人工检测的辅助工具快速识别因野火而损坏的建筑。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Now, once the smoke has cleared for aerial photography, researchers have found a way to identify building damage within minutes.(现在，一旦烟雾散去可以进行航空摄影，研究人员已经找到了一种在几分钟内识别建筑损坏的方法)”可知，使用DamageMap可以提高评估效率。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Then, the program analyzes post-wildfire images to identify damage through features like blackened surfaces, collapsed roofs or the absence of structures.(然后，该程序分析野火后的图像，通过诸如变黑的表面、倒塌的屋顶或缺乏结构等特征来识别损坏)”可知，DamageMap通过分析建筑的特点以识别损毁程度来工作。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The researchers said the tool can be applied to any area suffering from wildfires and hope it could also be trained to classify damages from other disasters, such as floods or hurricanes.(研究人员表示，这个工具可以应用于任何受到野火影响的区域并希望它也可以被训练来分类其他灾害如洪水或飓风的损坏)”以及Marios Galanis 所说的话“So far our results suggest that this can be generalized, and we can keep improving it(到目前为止，我们的结果表明这可以被推广，并且我们可以继续改进它)”可知，未来的研究方向是该AI系统更广泛的应用。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Through a system called DamageMap, a team at Stanford University has brought an AI approach to building assessment: Instead of comparing before-and-after photos, they’ve trained a program using machine learning to rely only on post-fire images.(通过一个名为DamageMap的系统，斯坦福大学的一个团队将人工智能方法应用于建筑评估：他们没有比较灾前和灾后的照片，而是训练了一个程序，仅依赖火灾后的图像，使用机器学习来进行评估)”以及文章主要介绍了一个新AI系统DamageMap，可作为一个人工检测的辅助工具快速识别因野火而损坏的建筑。可知本文主要介绍了一个快速评估受灾建筑的人工智能系统DamageMap。故选D。 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。 The Benefits of Attentive Listening Attentive and active listening means absorbing and being able to accurately recall what the other person has said, to reach a mutual understanding.

Therefore he will be confident to explain his feeling and viewpoint in detail 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. B 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕专注倾听（Attentive Listening）展开，阐述了其对于沟通的诸多益处，强调专注倾听在促进相互理解方面的重要作用。 【16题详解】 前文“Actively listening to what the other person is saying reduces the chance of misunderstandings. It involves reflecting and confirming that each person can comprehend what is being said, so that the facts and concerns are accurately heard.(积极倾听对方所说的话可以减少误解的机会。它包括反思和确认每个人都能理解所说的话，以便准确地听到事实和担忧)”提到积极倾听能减少误解，涉及到要准确理解对方所说内容，其目的就是为了促进更好的相互理解，D项“通过这样做，可以促进更好的相互了解”符合语境，D项中的“By doing so” 指代前面积极倾听减少误解这一行为，逻辑上承接前文，引出其能促进相互理解这一结果，又能与段落小标题呼应。故选D。 【17题详解】 前面“Attentive listening shows respect for the other person's feelings and point of view, which encourages the individual to open up more and express further concerns. Someone who feels valued through active listening is less likely to feel judged.(认真倾听表明尊重对方的感受和观点，这会鼓励对方更多地敞开心扉，表达更多的担忧。通过积极倾听而感到被重视的人不太可能感到被评判)”提到专注倾听体现对他人感受和观点的尊重，会让对方更愿意表达，那相应地这个人就会因为感受到尊重，而更有信心详细地去解释自己的感受和观点，G项“因此，他将有信心详细地解释他的感受和观点”符合语境，he指代前一句的someone，且与前一句存在因果逻辑关系。故选G。 【18题详解】 本段的段落主旨“Identifies Agreements and Disagreements(识别共识与分歧)”, 空前“Attentive listening provides the opportunity to identify both areas of agreement and disagreement between both negotiators, as well as any mistakes.(用心倾听能够提供机会以识别谈判双方之间意见一致和不一致的地方，以及存在的任何错误)”空后提到“they can easily put disagreements into perspective and decrease their significance, making more positive and effective communication. (他们可以很容易地看待分歧，减少其重要性，使沟通更加积极有效)，故空上衔接句应该指向共识被识别出来后，才能更好地去处理分歧，因此推断B项“当协议被认可时”符合此处的逻辑要求。故选B。 【19题详解】 后文“When a person knows her opinion is being heard and acknowledged, it is likely that she will be more willing to think about an alterative point of view or soften her own argument.(当一个人的意见被听到和认可时，她会更愿意去考虑另一种观点或者缓和自己的论调) ”体现的是专注倾听能让人去考虑不同观点，该空作为这一段落的小标题，应概括这一核心内容，因此推断C项“考虑不同的观点”为最佳标题。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据前文“When a person knows her opinion is being heard and acknowledged, it is likely that she will be more willing to think about an alternative point of view or soften her own argument. (当一个人知道自己的观点被听到和认可时，她很可能会更愿意考虑另一种观点，或者软化自己的观点)”可知，一个人的观点被认可时，她更可能会去考虑另一种观点，这里进一步强化段落主旨，强调当个人观点通过专注倾听被尊重和重视时，就更容易去考虑他人的立场，因此推断F项“当个人的观点通过细心倾听被尊重和重视时”符合语境。故选F。 第二部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题 1分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Andrew is nonspeaking autistic (自闭的).

Ben grinned. “It was. Now I call it Creepy Claw (令人毛骨悚然的爪子) , an important part of my monster costume. Trick-or-Treat is tonight. Want to help me decorate our car and give out candy? ” Trick-or-Treat is a yearly event in the town. In this event, parents gather their trucks at the town’s central park and give out candy while children dress up to win the best costume contest. Their parents were also judges this year. Kyla shook her head. “Ana and I are going to the Halloween (万圣节) party. Sorry.” Ben let out a deep sigh. Ever since Kyla and her best friend Ana turned 13, they had been acting all grown up. That evening, Kyla ate her dinner quickly, washed her plate hurriedly and headed toward the stairs happily. But Mom reminded her that she still needed to wrap the costume-contest prizes. Knowing that Ana’s mom would pick her up in half an hour, Kyla complained that she had to get ready. “Sorry, honey,” Mom said apologetically. “You have to finish it before you leave. It’s your duty.” Seeing that Kyla was about to cry, Ben volunteered to wrap the prizes for his sister. Kyla thanked Ben, and then danced up the stairs. After wrapping the prizes in paper, Ben set them on the kitchen table next to the Creepy Claw. After a 20-minute drive, Ben and his parents arrived at the park. Ben began decorating their trunk, hanging white lights on the door. With all the decorations done, there was only ten minutes left before the costume contest started. Ben pulled on his monster costume while his mom made up his monster face. “Honey, where is your Creepy Claw?” Mom asked. Ben’s monster face sagged (下垂) . 注意：1. 续写词数应为150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After thinking hard, Ben told his mom that he had left it home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Ben turned around, he saw Kyla with the Creepy Claw in her hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After thinking hard, Ben told his mom that he had left it home. Mom’s eyes widened in surprise. Ben begged her to go back home and fetch it. But mom refused since the contest would begin soon and she had to get prepared as a judge. Patting him on the back, mom comforted, “You’re still a very scary monster.” Ben forced out a smile, trying to hide his disappointment, but deep down he believed that without the Creepy Claw, he would just be an ordinary monster. When he almost couldn’t hold back his tears, he heard a familiar voice from behind calling his name. As Ben turned around, he saw Kyla with the Creepy Claw in her hand. She walked up to Ben, waving the claw delightedly. Seeing that, Ben’s eyes lit up. Kyla handed the claw to him, explaining that mom called her about it and she begged Ana’s mom to drive her back home. “But you’re missing the party,” Ben exclaimed, with a worried look coming over his face. “It’s OK. I’ll head back now. ” Kyla beamed. “After all, a monster without the Creepy Claw isn’t really creepy.” Hearing what she said, Ben gave her a grateful hug. She was definitely the best sister in the world! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ben和Kyla这对兄妹在万圣节前夕准备和参与活动的故事，特别是Kyla为了帮助Ben找回他视为重要道具的“令人毛骨悚然的爪子”而放弃参加万圣节派对的情节，体现了兄妹间的深厚情谊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Ben仔细想了想，告诉妈妈他把爪子落在家里了。”以及第二段首句内容“Ben转过身，看到Kyla手里拿着“恐怖爪子”站在那里。”可知，第一段可描写Ben非常失望，希望妈妈回家帮自己拿，但妈妈拒绝了，这时他听到有人叫他的名字。 ②由第二段首句内容“Ben转过身，看到Kyla手里拿着“恐怖爪子”站在那里。”可知，第二段可描写Kyla为Ben送来了爪子，Ben非常感动。 2.续写线索：Ben告诉妈妈自己把爪子落在了家中——妈妈非常惊讶，但是，妈妈因为要做评委，没办法为Ben取爪子——Ben非常难过，觉得很失落——这时，他听到了一个熟悉的声音在叫自己——转过身后，Ben看到了Kyla——Kyla手中拿着爪子——原来Kyla接到妈妈的电话，得知了情况，这才赶来送爪子——Ben非常感动 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①尝试：try/attempt ②做准备：get prepared/make preparations ③开始：begin/start 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②高兴地：delightedly/happily 【点睛】【高分句型1】But mom refused since the contest would begin soon and she had to get prepared as a judge.（运用了since引导的原因状语从句） 【高分句型2】Ben forced out a smile, trying to hide his disappointment, but deep down he believed that without the Creepy Claw, he would just be an ordinary monster.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 惠州市2025届高三第三次调研考试 英语 本试卷共8页 考试时间：120分钟 满分：120分 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定的位置上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需要改动，先用橡皮擦干净后，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，写在试卷上无效。 第一部分 阅读 (共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题 2. 5分，满分 37. 5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A New Winter Study Abroad Programs for January 2025 Explore the brand-new and exciting winter study abroad programs and pick your favorite for your next winter break!

B In the heart of the thick forests of the Greater Hinggan Mountains, forestry police officer Zhao Xiaohui and his colleague Li Hui begin their day’s patrol in the mountainous area of Alongshan town, Inner Mongolia, as morning sunlight pierces through the trees. Zhao explains, “The work of forest police is different from the police officers in cities. For us, the abundant forest with various wild animals running around carefree is our mission, which is also the value of our job.” The Greater Hinggan Mountains, stretching from Heilongjiang province to Inner Mongolia, host the country’s largest forest. Zhao and Li’s branch oversees 357, 427 hectares, with forest covering 339, 520 hectares, which means a climate of unpredictable extremes throughout the year. The region experiences harsh winters and short, hot summers, with temperatures dropping to-50°C, making it one of the coldest areas in the country. After graduating from college in 1990, the then 21-year-old Zhao became a forest police officer and has dedicated himself to safeguarding this region against the challenges posed by extreme weather and wildlife. Li, who joined the branch in 2017, is a post-1990s generation police officer. She takes pride in her job, although it quite differs from the heroic images in crime-fighting movies that inspired her to pursue law enforcement. Daily patrols of Zhao and Li cover nearly 100 kilometers by car and over 30 kilometers on foot despite the harsh conditions. They have patrolled in extreme cold and protected forests after seven years’ cooperation. “I have spent years here in the company of these forests. I know where the flowers bloom, where the birds sing, and where the deer roam. I see the wildlife and plant life flourishing. It fills me with immense pride,” Li reflects. Over the years, forest police officers like Zhao and Li have made significant contributions in guaranteeing the region’s environmental conservation, ensuring the protection of its diverse ecosystems. Their devotion helps maintain the natural beauty and wildlife of this important region. 4. What is the mission of forest police? A. Enforcing the law in cities. B. Doing research on wildlife. C. Monitoring climate of forests. D. Protecting forests and wildlife. 5. What challenge do Zhao and Li face during the patrols? A Rescuing injured animals. B. Fighting against constant crimes. C.

D. Protectors of Persona Safety. C Think back to the last time you take down a quick note or made a grocery list. Chances are, it wasn’t with pen and paper. Over the past decade, keyboards and screens have quietly replaced handwriting in our daily routines, from classrooms to office meetings. Yet, research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive (认知的) benefits that digital tools can’t copy. Brain networks in children are like faint and winding paths in a forest, says Audrey Meer, a professor of neuropsychology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. With practice and experience, these paths can become motorways that connect different parts of the brain to transport information fast and efficiently. In a study published last January, Audrey Meer and her co-author Ruud Weel looked at brain scans of 36 children who performed writing tasks. The students were asked to write words using a digital pen on a touchscreen device or typing them on a keyboard. The participants’ brain activity during each task was captured through electroencephalogram (EEG) techniques. “The most surprising thing was that the whole brain was active when they were writing by hand, while much smaller areas were active when they were typewriting,” Audrey Meer says. “This suggests that when you are writing by hand you are using most of your brain to get the job done.” Moreover, the study reported that the different parts of the brain activated by handwriting communicated with each other through brain waves associated with learning. Audrey Meer says, “We found those variations were active during handwriting but not during typewriting.” As a result, researchers are encouraging the perseveration of handwriting skills. In Norway, many schools stopped teaching handwriting, instead opting for pupils to write and read on an iPad, a trend Audrey Meer hopes to change through her research. “I think we should have at least a minimum of handwriting in primary school curricula simply because it is so good for the developing brain,” she says. 8. What message do the underlined words in paragraph 2 seem to convey? A. The Brain networks in children are weak and indirect. B. The Brain networks in children are positive and stable. C. The Brain networks in children are associated and simple. D. The Brain networks in children are efficient and developed. 9. How was the study carried out? A. By testing EEG techniques. B. By assigning writing tasks. C. By studying published findings. D. By questioning the participants. 10. Why does the handwriting outweigh type writing according to Audrey Meer? A. It engages more areas of the brain. B. It ensures higher efficiency in note-taking. C. It represents a person’s thoughts more accurately. D. It improves children’s spelling and grammar skills. 11. What is the experts’ suggestion for the schools? A. Focusing on teaching typing skills. B. Encouraging the use of electronic devices. C. Offering a certain amount of handwriting lessons. D. Holding various activities for students’ communication. D People around the globe have suffered the anxiety of waiting months to find out if their homes have been damaged by wildfires. Now, once the smoke has cleared for aerial photography, researchers have found a way to identify building damage within minutes. Through a system called DamageMap, a team at Stanford University has brought an AI approach to building assessment: Instead of comparing before-and-after photos, they’ve trained a program using machine learning to rely only on post-fire images. The current method of assessing damage involves people going door-to-door to check every building. While DamageMap is not intended to replace in-person damage assessment, it could be used as a supplementary tool by offering immediate results and providing the exact locations of the affected buildings. The researchers tested it using a variety of satellite and aerial photography with at least 92 percent accuracy. Most computational systems now cannot efficiently classify building damage because the AI compares post-disaster photos with pre-disaster images that must use the same satellite, camera angle and lighting conditions, which can be expensive to obtain or unavailable. Therefore, DamageMap first uses pre-fire photos to map the area and confirm building locations. Then, the program analyzes post-wildfire images to identify damage through features like blackened surfaces, collapsed roofs or the absence of structures. Structural damage from wildfires in California is typically divided into four categories: almost no damage, minor damage, major damage or destroyed. Because DamageMap is based on aerial images, the researchers quickly realized the system could not make such detailed assessments and trained the machine to simply determine if there was a fire damage or not. Because the team used a deep learning technique, their model can continue to be improved by feeding it more data. The researchers said the tool can be applied to any area suffering from wildfires and hope it could also be trained to classify damages from other disasters, such as floods or hurricanes. “So far our results suggest that this can be generalized, and we can keep improving it,” said lead study author Marios Galanis, a graduate student at Stanford’s School of Engineering. 12. What is the advantage of using DamageMap? A. It helps improve the evaluation efficiency. B. It operates automatically after self-learning. C It analyzes large numbers of disaster photos. D. It takes the place of the traditional measures. 13. How does DamageMap work? A. It identifies damage with pre-fire photos. B. It confirms locations with post-fire photos. C. It assesses damage through the features of buildings. D. It maps the fire-affected area through comparing photos. 14. What would the future study focus on according to Marios Galanis? A. Accuracy improvement. B. A wider range of application. C. Techniques development. D. A higher speed of machine learning. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A The impact of wildfires on local residents. B. Main challenges to classify structural damage. C. Possible solutions to identify natural disasters. D. An AI system for rapid fire damage evaluation. 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。 The Benefits of Attentive Listening Attentive and active listening means absorbing and being able to accurately recall what the other person has said, to reach a mutual understanding.
