About Us European Festivals Association is a community dedicated to the arts, the artists, and audiences. Today, EFA counts about 100 members — music, theatre, dance and interdisciplinary (跨学科的) festivals, as well as national festival associations and cultural networks in 40 countries and territories, which are not just about Europe. By supporting and enabling artistic creation, production and participation, EFA and its members ensure that this right is made a reality for all citizens. Its members take the joint responsibility that the arts are prioritized offering their platforms to bring the arts to the audiences. What We Do EFA’s mission is to unite and represent its member festivals across Europe and the world by contributing to the artistic life of Europe. Interaction between festivals, with public authorities and the other stakeholders (参与人) in the arts, are central to EFA’s work. EFA’s members are the core element that makes the association an open, influential, international place for any festival that wants to be part of a bigger festival community. EFA’s main role in the ever changing world of digitization and globalization is to connect festival makers to inform, inspire and enrich the festival landscape. It was established to bridge the distance between organisations and all kinds of stakeholders, and to create connections. 1. What can we learn from The Foundation? A. EFA consists of European festivals. B. Geneva witnessed how EFA came into being. C. There have been decreases in EFA’s members. D. EFA was developed by the force of one person. 2. What is the core purpose of EFA according to the last two paragraphs? A. To receive the public authorities’ recognition. B. To support the process of today’s digitization. C. To bring the world’s festivals to a better state. D. To improve cooperation between organisations. 3. In which section of a newspaper can the text appear? A. Culture & Tradition. B. Commerce & Trade. C. Fashion & Costume. D. Environment & Ecology. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要讲述的是欧洲节日协会（EFA）的成立背景、宗旨及其在全球化和数字化时代的角色与使命。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Foundation部分中的“Founded in Geneva in 1952 upon the joint initiative of the famous conductor Igor Markevitch and the great philosopher Denis de Rougemont with 15 festivals, it made up the core from the start.(成立于1952年，由著名指挥家伊戈尔·马尔科维奇和伟大哲学家德尼斯·德·鲁热蒙共同发起，在日内瓦创立。自成立之初，它就以15个节日为核心组成部分。)”可知，EFA于1952年在日内瓦创立，由此可知，日内瓦见证了EFA的诞生。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据What We Do部分中的“Interaction between festivals, with public authorities and the other stakeholders ( 参与人 ) in the arts, are central to EFA’s work.(艺术节与公共当局和艺术领域的其他利益相关者之间的互动是EFA工作的核心)”以及“EFA’s main role in the ever changing world of digitization and globalization is to connect festival makers to inform, inspire and enrich the festival landscape. It was established to bridge the distance between organisations and all kinds of stakeholders, and to create connections.(在数字化和全球化不断变化的世界中，EFA的主要角色是连接节日制作人，以信息共享、灵感激发和丰富节日景观.。它的建立是为了弥合组织与各种利益相关者之间的距离，并建立联系)”可知，EFA的核心目的是增强组织者的合作。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是What We Do部分中的“EFA’s mission is to unite and represent its member festivals across Europe and the world by contributing to the artistic life of Europe.(EFA的使命是通过贡献于欧洲的艺术生活，团结并代表其遍布欧洲和世界各地的成员节日。)”以及“EFA’s main role in the ever changing world of digitization and globalization is to connect festival makers to inform, inspire and enrich the festival landscape.(在数字化和全球化不断变化的世界中，EFA的主要角色是连接节日制作人，以信息共享、灵感激发和丰富节日景观。它的建立是为了弥合组织与各种利益相关者之间的距离，并建立联系)”可知，EFA的核心目的是通过促进艺术生活，连接节日创造者，因此，这篇文章最有可能出现在报纸的文化与传统部分。故选A项。 B Seventeen-year-old Abby Yoon is determined to help children lead healthier lives through proper nutrition and physical activity. In America,14% of children do not get more than one meal a day, and many urban families live in food deserts, where access to fresh food is limited. Yoon saw the need to address this issue and founded the Sustainable Hunger Initiative, focusing on providing healthy food and educating communities about nutrition. One of Yoon’s first projects was a community garden. This garden has produced over 3,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables, which have been donated to local family centers and soup kitchens. Yoon believes that growing their own food fosters a closer connection to what they eat, while ensuring access to essential nutrients. Additionally, her group has collaborated with local farmers and ranchers to donate more than 45,000 pounds of locally raised beef to those in need. To complement the food donations, Yoon also offers cooking and nutrition demonstrations, teaching people how to prepare healthy meals. Yoon’s vision goes beyond providing food. She wants to empower communities to become self-sufficient. “The community garden can serve as a medium for nutrition education,” Yoon says. Her initiative encourages others to start their own gardens and learn about sustainable food practices. Recognizing that a healthy lifestyle also includes physical exercise, Yoon has incorporated a fitness program into her initiative. Many children in urban areas lack opportunities to play outside, so Yoon’s organization has donated over 600 bicycles and manages fitness programs for more than 7,500 children. Yoon’s efforts have inspired others to join her cause. So far, over 10,000 volunteers have contributed their time to the community garden. What started as a dream for one teenager has blossomed into a movement that is making a real difference in people’s lives, proving that one person truly can inspire change. 4. What motivated Yoon to start the Sustainable Hunger Initiative? A. The support from local farmers and ranchers. B. The desire to provide physical exercise for kids. C. The shortage of fresh food in many urban areas. D. The interest in teaching others to cook healthy meals. 5. What does Yoon think about growing food? A. It teaches children to lead independent lives. B. It helps people connect with the food they eat. C. It allows communities to have fun while exercising. D. It motivates people to donate more to soup kitchens. 6. What other support does Yoon’s initiative provide besides food? A. Building new fitness centers in urban areas. B. Providing financial assistance to local farmers. C. Organizing school meal programs for children. D. Offering cooking and nutrition demonstrations. 7. What can be inferred about the success of the Sustainable Hunger Initiative? A. It has expanded around the world. B. It has helped kids do better in school. C. It has motivated more people to help the community. D. It has offered jobs for over 10,000 people. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Abby Yoon通过创办可持续饥饿倡议，帮助儿童过上更健康的生活。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In America, 14% of children do not get more than one meal a day, and many urban families live in food deserts, where access to fresh food is limited. Yoon saw the need to address this issue and founded the Sustainable Hunger Initiative, focusing on providing healthy food and educating communities about nutrition.(在美国，14%的儿童每天吃不上一顿以上的饭，许多城市家庭生活在食物沙漠中，那里新鲜食物的获取非常有限。Yoon看到了解决这个问题的必要性，并创立了“可持续饥饿倡议”，专注于提供健康食品并教育社区关于营养的知识)”可知，许多城市地区新鲜食物的短缺促使Yoon发起了 “可持续饥饿倡议”。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Yoon believes that growing their own food fosters a closer connection to what they eat, while ensuring access to essential nutrients.(Yoon认为，种植自己的食物可以培养人们与他们所吃食物之间的更紧密联系，同时确保获得必需的营养)”可知，Yoon认为种植食物有助于人们与他们所吃的食物建立联系。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“To complement the food donations, Yoon also offers cooking and nutrition demonstrations, teaching people how to prepare healthy meals.(为了配合食物捐赠活动，Yoon还进行烹饪和营养示范，教人们如何准备健康的饭菜)”可知，所以除了食物之外，Yoon的倡议还提供烹饪和营养示范。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Yoon’s efforts have inspired others to join her cause. So far, over 10,000 volunteers have contributed their time to the community garden. What started as a dream for one teenager has blossomed into a movement that is making a real difference in people’s lives, proving that one person truly can inspire change.(Yoon的努力激励了其他人加入到她所从事的事业中来。到目前为止，已有一万多名志愿者为社区花园贡献了自己的时间。最初只是一个青少年的梦想，如今已发展成为一场运动，切实改变着人们的生活，这证明了一个人真的能够激发变革)”可推知，“可持续饥饿倡议”的成功激励了更多的人来帮助社区。故选C。 C Humpback whales are known, among other things, for their lengthy migrations. Much to the surprise of a group of researchers, though, one of these creatures seems to have broken a record. After being spotted in the Pacific Ocean off Colombia in 2017, a male whale popped up near Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean in 2022, making it one of the longest and most unusual whale migrations ever recorded for an individual whale. The two sightings were reported 8,106.4 miles apart. The distance is almost twice the typical migration for whales, who travel in a north-south pattern every year from their feeding grounds in cooler waters to their warmer breeding grounds. Instead, this particular male whale traveled in an east-west pattern from one breeding area to another. The researchers have two theories as to what may have caused the whale to go on this lengthy journey. The first has to do with climate change, as the abundance of the krill they feed on may have been damaged. The other has to do with mating. Conservation efforts in the Indian Ocean have led to new thriving communities of young whales. There may have been heightening competition for mates in the whale’s old neighborhood, inspiring it to look for a mating partner in another area. Ekaterina Kalashnikova, co-author of the study, said the journey was “truly impressive and unusual even for this highly migratory species”. The researcher also shared that humpback whales navigate with remarkable precision. And since this one is a full-grown whale, it’s unlikely he could have simply gotten lost. The finding was made possible by Happy Whale, an observation platform where researchers and amateur whale watchers submit thousands of photographs of the creatures they spot, helping scientists keep track of them. Using a technology similar to facial recognition, researchers can identify the whales by the patterns on their tails — an identifier so unique that has long been compared to human fingerprints. Ultimately, beyond the shock caused by the whale, these resources will help scientists better understand whale behavior, especially in the face of challenging conditions due to global warming. 8. What does the underlined phrase “popped up” mean in paragraph 1? A. Made a return. B. Became hard to notice. C. Came to a sudden stop. D. Made an unexpected appearance. 9. Why is the male whale’s migration considered unusual? A. It traveled in an east-west pattern. B. It failed to navigate its way around. C. It discovered an unfamiliar feeding ground. D. It moved from cooler waters to warmer waters. 10. What is one potential impact of climate change on humpback whales? A More breeding grounds are getting lost. B. The competition for mates is increasing. C. Their migration distances are becoming longer. D. The food sources fall short of their needs. 11. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The importance of joint conservation efforts. B. The unique tail patterns of humpback whales. C. Happy Whale’s role in tracking and studying humpback whales. D. New technology’s application to identifying humpback whales. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一只雄性座头鲸打破了迁徙记录，从太平洋迁徙到印度洋，其迁徙模式与典型的南北迁徙不同，可能是由于气候变化或繁殖竞争的影响。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线部分的上文“Much to the surprise of a group of researchers, though, one of these creatures seems to have broken a record. (然而，令一组研究人员大为惊讶的是，其中一只座头鲸似乎打破了一项记录)”和下文“making it one of the longest and most unusual whale migrations ever recorded for an individual whale (使得它成为有记录以来最长且最不寻常的座头鲸个体迁徙之一)”可知，这只座头鲸创造了新的迁徙记录，其路线最长且最不寻常。由此推知，它最终到达的地方是研究人员未曾预料到的，此处指“2022年突然出现在印度洋的桑给巴尔附近”，画线部分意思应该是“突然出现”，D项“made an unexpected appearance”意思与之最为接近。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The distance is almost twice the typical migration for whales, who travel in a north-south pattern every year from their feeding grounds in cooler waters to their warmer breeding grounds. Instead, this particular male whale traveled in an east-west pattern from one breeding area to another. (这段距离几乎是鲸鱼典型迁徙路线的两倍，它们通常每年以南北向的路线从较冷水域的觅食区迁徙到较暖水域的繁殖区。然而，这只特殊的雄性鲸鱼却以东西向的路线从一个繁殖区迁徙到了另一个繁殖区)”可知，这只雄性鲸鱼从东向西迁徙，与典型的迁徙路线不同，因此被认为不寻常。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The first has to do with climate change, as the abundance of the krill they feed on may have been damaged. (第一个原因与气候变化有关，因为它们赖以生存的磷虾数量可能已经减少)”可知，气候变化对座头鲸的潜在影响之一是食物来源不能满足其需要。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“The finding was made possible by Happy Whale, an observation platform where researchers and amateur whale watchers submit thousands of photographs of the creatures they spot, helping scientists keep track of them. Using a technology similar to facial recognition, researchers can identify the whales by the patterns on their tails — an identifier so unique that has long been compared to human fingerprints. (这一发现得益于Happy Whale这一观察平台，研究人员和业余鲸鱼观察者在这里提交了数千张他们拍摄到的鲸鱼照片，帮助科学家追踪它们。通过使用一种类似于面部识别的技术，研究人员可以通过鲸鱼尾部的图案来识别它们——这种标识如此独特，长期以来一直被比作人类的指纹)”可知，本段主要介绍了Happy Whale这一观察平台，它通过收集照片，帮助科学家追踪和研究座头鲸。因此，段落的核心内容是Happy Whale在追踪和研究座头鲸中的作用。故选C项。 D A new study uses artificial intelligence (AI) to determine the timing of a pediatric (儿科的) language milestone: Children are able to say something novel that they have not heard before by using a language rule. “A difficult problem in describing language acquisition (习得) is knowing when children go beyond their input to produce novel, structured utterances (话语) — that is to say, to achieve linguistic productivity, the hallmark of human language,” wrote one of the study’s researchers. When do children go beyond imitating what they have heard and start producing their own original structured utterances? In other words at what moment do children attain linguistic productivity? This question is a challenging one to answer scientifically as it requires knowing every utterance a child has encountered. To solve this, the researchers used massive real-world behavioral data gained over an extended period of time and a complicated AI model to make sense of the data. The behavioral data used contains audio scripts of over a million autonomous utterances of 90-minute interactions between 64 English-learning children and their parents at home gained every four months during the ages of 14 months to 58 months. From this massive database of utterances, the team aimed to use AI models to determine the onset and development pathways of when the children started using determiner-noun combinations in English, such as “a book”, “the book” and more. “Our behavioral data gave us a rich picture of when children begin to productively combine determiners ‘a’ and ‘the’ with the same noun. On average, children begin to make productive determiner-noun combinations at 30 months old, which is approximately nine months after saying their first determiner,” wrote the researchers. The researchers proved that they could computationally model the onset and pathways of linguistic productivity with AI. As for next steps, the researchers say that they can use the same model to understand the possible contributing factors that lead to the different timing and rate of language productivity in the future. 12. What’s the main goal of the new study? A. To track the language acquisition. B. To know when children get linguistic productivity. C. To introduce the language milestone. D. To analyze how AI plays a role in pediatric language. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The styles and quality of audio scripts. B. The ways and theories of language acquisition. C. The sources and functions of behavioral data. D. The effects and consequences of linguistic productivity. 14. When do children probably start speaking their first determiner? A. At about 30 months old. B. At about 21 months old. C. At about 39 months old. D. At about 42 months old. 15. What can we infer about the AI model from the last paragraph? A. It can meet potential research needs. B. It can predict language decline. C. It can forecast economic trends. D. It can improve linguistic productivity. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一项利用人工智能（AI）来确定儿童语言发展里程碑的研究。研究旨在确定儿童何时开始超越模仿，产生自己的原创结构化话语，即达到语言生产力的时刻。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A difficult problem in describing language acquisition is knowing when children go beyond their input to produce novel, structured utterances — that is to say, to achieve linguistic productivity, the hallmark of human language,” wrote one of the study’s researchers.(“描述语言习得一个难题是知道儿童何时超越他们的输入，产生新颖的结构化话语——也就是说，达到语言生产力，这是人类语言的标志，”研究的一位作者写道)”可知，研究的主要目标是确定儿童何时获得语言生产力。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The behavioral data used contains audio scripts of over a million autonomous utterances of 90-minute interactions between 64 English-learning children and their parents at home gained every four months during the ages of 14 months to 58 months. From this massive database of utterances, the team aimed to use AI models to determine the onset and development pathways of when the children started using determiner-noun combinations in English, such as ‘a book’, ‘the book’ and more.(使用的行为数据包含64名学习英语的儿童与父母在家中每四个月进行90分钟互动的超过一百万条自主话语的音频脚本，年龄从14个月到58个月不等。从这个庞大的话语数据库中，研究团队旨在使用AI模型来确定儿童何时开始使用英语中的限定词-名词组合，如“a book”、“the book”等)”可推知，第三段主要讲述了行为数据的来源和功能。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“On average, children begin to make productive determiner-noun combinations at 30 months old, which is approximately nine months after saying their first determiner,” wrote the researchers.(“平均而言，儿童在30个月大时开始进行有生产力的限定词-名词组合，这大约是在他们说出第一个限定词之后的九个月，”研究人员写道)”可知，儿童大约在21（30-9=21）个月大时说出第一个限定词。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As for next steps, the researchers say that they can use the same model to understand the possible contributing factors that lead to the different timing and rate of language productivity in the future.(至于下一步，研究人员表示，他们可以使用相同的模型来理解导致未来语言生产力不同时间和速度的可能因素)”可推知，AI模型可以满足潜在的研究需求。故选A。 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。 Prosopagnosia, also called face blindness, is a condition where people have trouble recognizing faces. It can be something they’re born with or happen later in life due to brain issues. People with this condition usually have a hard time knowing who someone is just by looking at their faces. ___16___ Most of us occasionally have trouble remembering faces. However, prosopagnosia is much worse than that. Prosopagnosics often have problems recognizing faces they have met many times. ___17___ It’s important to note that prosopagnosia is defined by problems of recognizing faces, not recalling names.

My heart was flipping with anticipation, each beat echoing the thrill and pleasure of attending a famous art studio in the heart of the city and trading my paintings. I imagined the busy streets of the city, the towering skyscrapers, and the creative energy that pulsed through every corner. This studio was more than just an opportunity; it was a dream that would come true, and a milestone I had been eagerly waiting for. As I climbed into the taxi to the airport, the driver, a friendly man with a warm smile, greeted me with a cheerful “Good morning”. I responded with a nod, my mind already racing ahead to the studio in that city. “First-time travel?” he asked, catching my gaze in the rear-view mirror (后视镜). “Yes, a big-deal trip in New York,” I replied, my voice tinged with excitement. The driver smiled with a knowing look and said, “Ah, New York! Enjoy your flight. Just watch out for the traffic!” As we chatted, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. The driver showed good manners and the sound of the engine was comforting. And I allowed myself to relax into the moment. The view of Canmore slowly gave way to the open road, and I watched as the landscape transformed, each mile bringing me closer to my destination. But my excitement quickly turned to upset as I stood in the security line at Calgary International Airport. My hands were shockingly empty, no familiar weight of my painting supplies. They were all gone, likely forgotten in the back of the taxi in my rush to catch the flight. A wave of helplessness washed over me when I realized it’s my carelessness that caused this to happen. I stood frozen, my mind racing through the implications of arriving in New York without my painting supplies. 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, just as I was about to resign (使听任) myself to this unfortunate event, my phone rang. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With an hour to spare before my flight’s departure, I saw the taxi driver outside the terminal (航站楼). _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 However, just as I was about to resign myself to this unfortunate event, my phone rang. It was the taxi driver. “Sir,” he said in a kind voice. “I found your painting supplies in the back of my cab. I know how important they might be for your trip to New York. I’ll do my best to get them back to you.” Hearing his words, a rush of relief flooded through me. I quickly told him where I was at the airport and thanked him repeatedly. With an hour to spare before my flight’s departure, I saw the taxi driver outside the terminal. He was holding my precious painting supplies in his hands. I rushed towards him and gave him a big hug gratefully. “Thank you so much,” I said, my voice filled with gratitude. He smiled and replied, “It’s nothing. I just couldn’t let your dream trip be ruined.” Then he wished me a great time in New York. I boarded the plane with a heart full of warmth and excitement, ready to embrace the adventure in the city. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者在一个清爽的秋日早晨，怀着激动的心情从坎莫尔前往纽约市，准备参加著名艺术工作室活动并交易画作。乘坐出租车去机场时与司机愉快交谈，心情放松。然而，在机场安检处，作者发现自己匆忙中把绘画用品忘在了出租车后座，陷入了无助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，就在我准备接受这一不幸事件时，我的电话响了。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：出租车司机来电告知找到物品并会归还，作者如释重负致谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“离航班起飞还有一个小时的时候，我看到出租车司机在航站楼外。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：司机归还绘画用品，作者感激，暖心登机开启纽约之旅。 2.续写线索： 出租车司机来电——作者如释重负——归还绘画用品——作者感激——暖心登机 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.说：say/utter ②.发现：find /discover 情绪类 ①.感激地：gratefully/thankfully ②.兴奋：excitement/exhilaration 【点睛】[高分句型1].

In America,14% of children do not get more than one meal a day, and many urban families live in food deserts, where access to fresh food is limited. Yoon saw the need to address this issue and founded the Sustainable Hunger Initiative, focusing on providing healthy food and educating communities about nutrition. One of Yoon’s first projects was a community garden. This garden has produced over 3,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables, which have been donated to local family centers and soup kitchens. Yoon believes that growing their own food fosters a closer connection to what they eat, while ensuring access to essential nutrients. Additionally, her group has collaborated with local farmers and ranchers to donate more than 45,000 pounds of locally raised beef to those in need. To complement the food donations, Yoon also offers cooking and nutrition demonstrations, teaching people how to prepare healthy meals. Yoon’s vision goes beyond providing food. She wants to empower communities to become self-sufficient. “The community garden can serve as a medium for nutrition education,” Yoon says. Her initiative encourages others to start their own gardens and learn about sustainable food practices. Recognizing that a healthy lifestyle also includes physical exercise, Yoon has incorporated a fitness program into her initiative. Many children in urban areas lack opportunities to play outside, so Yoon’s organization has donated over 600 bicycles and manages fitness programs for more than 7,500 children. Yoon’s efforts have inspired others to join her cause. So far, over 10,000 volunteers have contributed their time to the community garden. What started as a dream for one teenager has blossomed into a movement that is making a real difference in people’s lives, proving that one person truly can inspire change. 4. What motivated Yoon to start the Sustainable Hunger Initiative? A. The support from local farmers and ranchers. B The desire to provide physical exercise for kids. C. The shortage of fresh food in many urban areas. D The interest in teaching others to cook healthy meals. 5. What does Yoon think about growing food? A. It teaches children to lead independent lives. B. It helps people connect with the food they eat. C. It allows communities to have fun while exercising. D. It motivates people to donate more to soup kitchens. 6. What other support does Yoon’s initiative provide besides food? A. Building new fitness centers in urban areas. B. Providing financial assistance to local farmers. C. Organizing school meal programs for children. D. Offering cooking and nutrition demonstrations. 7. What can be inferred about the success of the Sustainable Hunger Initiative? A. It has expanded around the world. B. It has helped kids do better in school. C. It has motivated more people to help the community. D. It has offered jobs for over 10,000 people. C Humpback whales are known, among other things, for their lengthy migrations. Much to the surprise of a group of researchers, though, one of these creatures seems to have broken a record. After being spotted in the Pacific Ocean off Colombia in 2017, a male whale popped up near Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean in 2022, making it one of the longest and most unusual whale migrations ever recorded for an individual whale. The two sightings were reported 8,106.4 miles apart. The distance is almost twice the typical migration for whales, who travel in a north-south pattern every year from their feeding grounds in cooler waters to their warmer breeding grounds. Instead, this particular male whale traveled in an east-west pattern from one breeding area to another. The researchers have two theories as to what may have caused the whale to go on this lengthy journey. The first has to do with climate change, as the abundance of the krill they feed on may have been damaged. The other has to do with mating. Conservation efforts in the Indian Ocean have led to new thriving communities of young whales. There may have been heightening competition for mates in the whale’s old neighborhood, inspiring it to look for a mating partner in another area. Ekaterina Kalashnikova, co-author of the study, said the journey was “truly impressive and unusual even for this highly migratory species”. The researcher also shared that humpback whales navigate with remarkable precision. And since this one is a full-grown whale, it’s unlikely he could have simply gotten lost. The finding was made possible by Happy Whale, an observation platform where researchers and amateur whale watchers submit thousands of photographs of the creatures they spot, helping scientists keep track of them. Using a technology similar to facial recognition, researchers can identify the whales by the patterns on their tails — an identifier so unique that has long been compared to human fingerprints. Ultimately, beyond the shock caused by the whale, these resources will help scientists better understand whale behavior, especially in the face of challenging conditions due to global warming. 8. What does the underlined phrase “popped up” mean in paragraph 1? A. Made a return. B. Became hard to notice. C. Came to a sudden stop. D. Made an unexpected appearance. 9. Why is the male whale’s migration considered unusual? A. It traveled in an east-west pattern. B. It failed to navigate its way around. C. It discovered an unfamiliar feeding ground. D. It moved from cooler waters to warmer waters. 10. What is one potential impact of climate change on humpback whales? A. More breeding grounds are getting lost. B. The competition for mates is increasing. C. Their migration distances are becoming longer. D. The food sources fall short of their needs. 11. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The importance of joint conservation efforts. B. The unique tail patterns of humpback whales. C. Happy Whale’s role in tracking and studying humpback whales. D. New technology’s application to identifying humpback whales. D A new study uses artificial intelligence (AI) to determine the timing of a pediatric (儿科的) language milestone: Children are able to say something novel that they have not heard before by using a language rule. “A difficult problem in describing language acquisition (习得) is knowing when children go beyond their input to produce novel, structured utterances (话语) — that is to say, to achieve linguistic productivity, the hallmark of human language,” wrote one of the study’s researchers. When do children go beyond imitating what they have heard and start producing their own original structured utterances? In other words, at what moment do children attain linguistic productivity? This question is a challenging one to answer scientifically as it requires knowing every utterance a child has encountered. To solve this, the researchers used massive real-world behavioral data gained over an extended period of time and a complicated AI model to make sense of the data. The behavioral data used contains audio scripts of over a million autonomous utterances of 90-minute interactions between 64 English-learning children and their parents at home gained every four months during the ages of 14 months to 58 months. From this massive database of utterances, the team aimed to use AI models to determine the onset and development pathways of when the children started using determiner-noun combinations in English, such as “a book”, “the book” and more. “Our behavioral data gave us a rich picture of when children begin to productively combine determiners ‘a’ and ‘the’ with the same noun. On average, children begin to make productive determiner-noun combinations at 30 months old, which is approximately nine months after saying their first determiner,” wrote the researchers. The researchers proved that they could computationally model the onset and pathways of linguistic productivity with AI. As for next steps, the researchers say that they can use the same model to understand the possible contributing factors that lead to the different timing and rate of language productivity in the future. 12. What’s the main goal of the new study? A. To track the language acquisition. B. To know when children get linguistic productivity. C. To introduce the language milestone. D. To analyze how AI plays a role in pediatric language. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The styles and quality of audio scripts. B. The ways and theories of language acquisition. C. The sources and functions of behavioral data. D. The effects and consequences of linguistic productivity. 14. When do children probably start speaking their first determiner? A. At about 30 months old. B. At about 21 months old. C. At about 39 months old. D. At about 42 months old. 15. What can we infer about the AI model from the last paragraph? A. It can meet potential research needs. B. It can predict language decline. C. It can forecast economic trends. D. It can improve linguistic productivity. 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。 Prosopagnosia, also called face blindness, is a condition where people have trouble recognizing faces.

My heart was flipping with anticipation, each beat echoing the thrill and pleasure of attending a famous art studio in the heart of the city and trading my paintings. I imagined the busy streets of the city, the towering skyscrapers, and the creative energy that pulsed through every corner. This studio was more than just an opportunity; it was a dream that would come true, and a milestone I had been eagerly waiting for. As I climbed into the taxi to the airport, the driver, a friendly man with a warm smile, greeted me with a cheerful “Good morning”. I responded with a nod, my mind already racing ahead to the studio in that city. “First-time travel?” he asked, catching my gaze in the rear-view mirror (后视镜). “Yes, a big-deal trip in New York,” I replied, my voice tinged with excitement. The driver smiled with a knowing look and said, “Ah, New York! Enjoy your flight. Just watch out for the traffic!” As we chatted, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. The driver showed good manners and the sound of the engine was comforting. And I allowed myself to relax into the moment. The view of Canmore slowly gave way to the open road, and I watched as the landscape transformed, each mile bringing me closer to my destination. But my excitement quickly turned to upset as I stood in the security line at Calgary International Airport. My hands were shockingly empty, no familiar weight of my painting supplies. They were all gone, likely forgotten in the back of the taxi in my rush to catch the flight. A wave of helplessness washed over me when I realized it’s my carelessness that caused this to happen. I stood frozen, my mind racing through the implications of arriving in New York without my painting supplies. 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, just as I was about to resign (使听任) myself to this unfortunate event, my phone rang. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With an hour to spare before my flight’s departure, I saw the taxi driver outside the terminal (航站楼). _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
