This week I visited Cambodia, and it could not have come at a “hotter” time, in the most literal sense of the word, because the temperatures in Siem Reap were almost 7°C above average. The night before, it rained in a few areas, and I could see the excitement around me with many calling their families to say, “It rained in my village!” But this sadly seemed to be an exception. In most areas of the country, farmers have been unable to plant the second rice crop, leading to economic hardship.
As I made my way, in the sweltering heat, to visit a secondary school in the rural area in Siem Reap. As I walked from classroom to classroom, I wondered how learning outcomes must be impacted by the heat waves, and what would happen to the ability of children to learn, to play and to progress in school.
But what made me excited was learning about the after-school programme on handling environmental challenges. As temperatures are rising, so are children rising to the occasion. Through the life skills training programme, students in Grade 9, learn to analyse problems, learn to work together, learn to find solutions. The programme also helps them to understand the environmental challenges of today’s world and how as young people they can be part of the solution.
In the afternoon, I went to see the impact of their work in the field. We had lunch with the community leaders and youth volunteers as well as a 12-year-old student from the school. They showed me what they had done in terms of waste management. The village was clean and green. And the community leader said to me, “I am grateful for this programme.”
During the chat I thought young people can be and must be part of the solution. They may not be rainmakers, but they certainly are change makers!
4. What does the author mean by saying the underlined words?
A. Lack of rain is bad for planting crop.
B. Raining less upsets some Cambodians.
C. Cambodia is suffering from drought.
D. Some of Cambodians dislike heave rain.
5. What did the author feel when seeing Cambodian students?
A Concerned. B. Full of admiration. C. Annoyed. D. Filled with stress.
6. What is the purpose of setting up the programme?
A. To improve the students’ life skills.
B. To demonstrate environmental protection.
C. To introduce a new method to deal with waste.
D. To improve students’ awareness of protecting their environment.
7. What is the main topic of paragraph 5?
A. The process of waste management in the village.
B. The author’s lunch experience with different people.
C. The introduction of the after-school programme in detail.
D. The impact of students’ work on the village environment.
C
The patient was a goat. It was being treated for its bladder stone(膀胱结石). It was also contributing to new research that aims to accurately measure pain not only in goats, but other animals as well and even, one day, in people.
“If we solve the problem with animals, we can also solve the problem for children and other patients who can’t speak," said Ludovica Chiavaccini, a clinical associate professor in the University of Florida’s College of Veterinary Medicine.
Chiavaccini and her colleagues filmed the faces of goats that were in pain and those that were comfortable. Then they fed the data into an artificial intelligence-based model which learnt to distinguish goats in pain by their faces alone.
According to the test, the accuracy of the system, trained and tested on 40 goats so far,was 62% to 80% at identifying pained faces. With data on more goats and other animal species, these kinds of AI models may help doctors treat pain effectively in patients they can’t speak with.
"It’s not just an animal-welfare issue,” Chiavaccini said. "We also know animals that are in pain don’t gain weight. Farmers are becoming more and more aware of the need to control pain in animals. ” Pain assessment in animals has historically been both difficult and subjective (主观的). Traditionally, veterinarians(兽医)had to rely on decades of experience to make correct judgment.
Researchers have developed standardized pain scales for different species in recent yearsto reduce subjectivity, but the quality of those measures varies wildly. When Chiavaccini and her team started the study-inspired by a graduate student’s love of goats-there wasn’t any pain scale available for goats at all. "Today, a single pain score for goats exists. But it is only suitable for male goats that are in pain, showing that a more general system is needed,"Chiavaccini said.
8. How does the author bring in the topic of the text?
A. By raising a question. B. By describing a scene.
C. By doing an experiment. D. By analyzing a case.
9. Why do the farmers intend to control the animals’ pain?
A. To increase animal’s weight. B. To improve their farming skills.
C. To reduce their treatment costs. D. To improve animals’ happiness.
10. What does the underlined word "standardized" in the last paragraph mean?
A. Expensive. B. Temporary. C. One-formed. D. Complicated.
11. What’s the best title of this text?
A. Pain: Patients’ Source of Suffering B. AI: Bringing Hope to the Future
C. Goats: the Target of Medical Experts D. AI Models: Detecting Faces in Pain

Tips for making conversation
Some people seem to be born to know how to start a conversation with anyone in any place. ___12___ Here are some easy ways to talk to a new person.
Talk about the things around or the event.
If you’re at a party, you can say something nice about the place, the food or the music. Like “I love this song a lot.” “The food is really good. Have you tried the chicken?” ___13___ For example, “I like your bag, where did you buy it?” or “You seem to know what to do. Can you tell me where to sign in?” These are the best topics for people present to talk about what both know.
____14____
A good question requires more than just a yes or no answer. Follow the journalist’s way and ask a question starting with one of the 5 W’s (or 1 H): who, where,when,what,why,or how. For example,“Who do you know here?” “Where do you usually go on a Friday?” “When did you move here?” “What keeps you busy?”___15___“How is the wine?” Most people like to talk about themselves, so asking a question is a good way to start a conversation.
Listen carefully.
Listening isn’t the same as just waiting to talk. You can’t pay attention to what others are saying if you’re thinking about what you’ll say next. Good communication needs you to fix your attention completely on the speaker and show your interest in their words. Nod once in a while, smile at them, and make sure your body position is friendly and welcoming. ____16____
As a matter of fact, what truly matters is still your willingness and courage After so, no one will start a conservation with someone who keeps silent all the time.
A. Giving a praise is OK too.
B. Ask an open-ended question.
C. Ask question as much as you can.
D. Sometimes, lies of goodness will also help.
E. “Why did you decide to become a vegetarian(素食主义者)?”
F. Encourage the speaker to continue using simple responses like “yes” or “uh huh”.
G. If you’re not one of those lucky types who can make friends easily, don’t worry.

This week I visited Cambodia, and it could not have come at a “hotter” time, in the most literal sense of the word, because the temperatures in Siem Reap were almost 7°C above average. The night before, it rained in a few areas, and I could see the excitement around me with many calling their families to say, “It rained in my village!” But this sadly seemed to be an exception. In most areas of the country, farmers have been unable to plant the second rice crop, leading to economic hardship.
As I made my way, in the sweltering heat, to visit a secondary school in the rural area in Siem Reap. As I walked from classroom to classroom, I wondered how learning outcomes must be impacted by the heat waves, and what would happen to the ability of children to learn, to play and to progress in school.
But what made me excited was learning about the after-school programme on handling environmental challenges. As temperatures are rising, so are children rising to the occasion. Through the life skills training programme, students in Grade 9, learn to analyse problems, learn to work together, learn to find solutions. The programme also helps them to understand the environmental challenges of today’s world and how as young people they can be part of the solution.
In the afternoon, I went to see the impact of their work in the field. We had lunch with the community leaders and youth volunteers as well as a 12-year-old student from the school. They showed me what they had done in terms of waste management. The village was clean and green. And the community leader said to me, “I am grateful for this programme.”
During the chat I thought young people can be and must be part of the solution. They may not be rainmakers, but they certainly are change makers!
4. What does the author mean by saying the underlined words?
A. Lack of rain is bad for planting crop.
B. Raining less upsets some Cambodians.
C. Cambodia is suffering from drought.
D. Some of Cambodians dislike heave rain.
5. What did the author feel when seeing Cambodian students?
A. Concerned. B. Full of admiration. C. Annoyed. D. Filled with stress.
6. What is the purpose of setting up the programme?
A. To improve the students’ life skills.
B. To demonstrate environmental protection.
C. To introduce a new method to deal with waste.
D. To improve students’ awareness of protecting their environment.
7. What is the main topic of paragraph 5?
A. The process of waste management in the village.
B. The author’s lunch experience with different people.
C. The introduction of the after-school programme in detail.
D. The impact of students’ work on the village environment.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. D

C
The patient was a goat. It was being treated for its bladder stone(膀胱结石). It was also contributing to new research that aims to accurately measure pain not only in goats, but other animals as well and even, one day, in people.
“If we solve the problem with animals, we can also solve the problem for children and other patients who can’t speak," said Ludovica Chiavaccini, a clinical associate professor in the University of Florida’s College of Veterinary Medicine.
Chiavaccini and her colleagues filmed the faces of goats that were in pain and those that were comfortable. Then they fed the data into an artificial intelligence-based model which learnt to distinguish goats in pain by their faces alone.
According to the test, the accuracy of the system, trained and tested on 40 goats so far,was 62% to 80% at identifying pained faces. With data on more goats and other animal species, these kinds of AI models may help doctors treat pain effectively in patients they can’t speak with.
"It’s not just an animal-welfare issue,” Chiavaccini said. "We also know animals that are in pain don’t gain weight. Farmers are becoming more and more aware of the need to control pain in animals. ” Pain assessment in animals has historically been both difficult and subjective (主观的). Traditionally, veterinarians(兽医)had to rely on decades of experience to make correct judgment.
Researchers have developed standardized pain scales for different species in recent yearsto reduce subjectivity, but the quality of those measures varies wildly. When Chiavaccini and her team started the study-inspired by a graduate student’s love of goats-there wasn’t any pain scale available for goats at all. "Today, a single pain score for goats exists. But it is only suitable for male goats that are in pain, showing that a more general system is needed,"Chiavaccini said.
8. How does the author bring in the topic of the text?
A. By raising a question. B. By describing a scene.
C. By doing an experiment. D. By analyzing a case.
9. Why do the farmers intend to control the animals’ pain?
A. To increase animal’s weight. B. To improve their farming skills.
C. To reduce their treatment costs. D. To improve animals’ happiness.
10. What does the underlined word "standardized" in the last paragraph mean?
A. Expensive. B. Temporary. C. One-formed. D. Complicated.
11. What’s the best title of this text?
A. Pain: Patients’ Source of Suffering B. AI: Bringing Hope to the Future
C. Goats: the Target of Medical Experts D. AI Models: Detecting Faces in Pain
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能模型可以准确识别山羊的疼痛,为动物和不会说话的病人提供更好的治疗机会。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The patient was a goat. It was being treated for its bladder stone(膀胱结石). It was also contributing to new research that aims to accurately measure pain not only in goats, but other animals as well and even, one day, in people.(病人是一只山羊。它正在接受膀胱结石的治疗。它还在为一项新的研究做出贡献,这项研究旨在准确测量不仅山羊,还有其他动物,甚至有一天还包括人类的疼痛程度。)”可知,作者通过描述一个山羊治疗膀胱结石并参与疼痛评估研究的场景,引出文章的主题,即利用AI模型检测疼痛。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Chiavaccini said. "We also know animals that are in pain don’t gain weight. Farmers are becoming more and more aware of the need to control pain in animals.(基亚瓦奇尼说:‘我们还知道,处于疼痛中的动物不会增加体重。农民越来越意识到控制动物疼痛的必要性。’)”可知,农民想要控制动物的疼痛是为了增加动物的体重。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“Researchers have developed standardized pain scales for different species in recent yearsto reduce subjectivity, but the quality of those measures varies wildly.(近年来,研究人员为不同物种开发了_____的疼痛量表,以减少主观性,但这些测量的质量差异很大。)”可知,“standardized pain scales”应该是和减少主观性和测量的质量差异,让评估更规范统一相关的意思,指通用的系统。而C选项One-formed“统一的;一致的”,符合让疼痛评估有统一标准的意思。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“It was also contributing to new research that aims to accurately measure pain not only in goats, but other animals as well and even, one day, in people.(它还在为一项新的研究做出贡献,这项研究旨在准确测量不仅山羊,还有其他动物,甚至有一天还包括人类的疼痛程度。)”和第三段“Then they fed the data into an artificial intelligence-based model which learnt to distinguish goats in pain by their faces alone.(然后,他们将数据输入一个基于人工智能的模型,该模型学会了仅通过山羊的面部表情来区分它们是否疼痛。)”以及第四段“With data on more goats and other animal species, these kinds of AI models may help doctors treat pain effectively in patients they can’t speak with.(随着更多关于山羊和其他动物物种的数据,这些AI模型可能有助于医生有效地治疗无法交流的患者的疼痛。)”可知,文章主要介绍了佛罗里达大学的研究人员利用人工智能技术,通过山羊面部表情识别其疼痛程度的研究,以及该研究未来可能的应用。故D项“AI Models: Detecting Faces in Pain(AI模型:检测疼痛中的面孔)”最符合文章主旨。故选D项。

Tips for making conversation
Some people seem to be born to know how to start a conversation with anyone in any place. ___12___ Here are some easy ways to talk to a new person.
Talk about the things around or the event.
If you’re at a party, you can say something nice about the place, the food or the music. Like “I love this song a lot.” “The food is really good. Have you tried the chicken?” ___13___ For example, “I like your bag, where did you buy it?” or “You seem to know what to do. Can you tell me where to sign in?” These are the best topics for people present to talk about what both know.
____14____
A good question requires more than just a yes or no answer. Follow the journalist’s way and ask a question starting with one of the 5 W’s (or 1 H): who, where,when,what,why,or how. For example,“Who do you know here?” “Where do you usually go on a Friday?” “When did you move here?” “What keeps you busy?”___15___“How is the wine?” Most people like to talk about themselves, so asking a question is a good way to start a conversation.
Listen carefully.
Listening isn’t the same as just waiting to talk. You can’t pay attention to what others are saying if you’re thinking about what you’ll say next. Good communication needs you to fix your attention completely on the speaker and show your interest in their words. Nod once in a while, smile at them, and make sure your body position is friendly and welcoming. ____16____
As a matter of fact, what truly matters is still your willingness and courage After so, no one will start a conservation with someone who keeps silent all the time.
A. Giving a praise is OK too.
B. Ask an open-ended question.
C. Ask question as much as you can.
D. Sometimes, lies of goodness will also help.
E. “Why did you decide to become a vegetarian(素食主义者)?”
F. Encourage the speaker to continue using simple responses like “yes” or “uh huh”.
G. If you’re not one of those lucky types who can make friends easily, don’t worry.
【答案】12. G 13. A 14. B 15. E 16. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些有助于人们与陌生人开启对话的实用技巧,旨在帮助那些不太擅长主动开启交流的人更好地融入社交情境,展开良好互动。

【13题详解】
根据下文“For example, “I like your bag, where did you buy it?” or “You seem to know what to do.(例如,“我喜欢你的包,你在哪里买的?”或者“你似乎知道该怎么做)”可知,后文是对是上文给出赞扬的具体说明。A选项“给予赞扬也是可以的”切题,引起下文。故选A项。
【14题详解】
根据下文“A good question requires more than just a yes or no answer. Follow the journalist’s way and ask a question starting with one of the 5 W’s (or 1 H): who, where,when,what,why,or how.(一个好问题需要的不仅仅是“是”或“不是”的答案。按照记者的方式,用5个W(或1个H)中的一个开头提问:谁、在哪里、何时、什么、为什么、如何)”可知,本段主要讲问一个开放式的问题。故B选项“问一个开放式的问题”切题,为本段的标题。故选B项。
【15题详解】
根据上文“For example,“Who do you know here?” “Where do you usually go on a Friday?” “When did you move here?” “What keeps you busy?”(例如,“你在这里认识谁?”“你星期五通常去哪里?”“你什么时候搬到这儿来的?”“你为什么这么忙?”)”可知,前面已经列举了“Who”“Where”“When”“What”“How”相关的例子,这里补充一个“Why”开头的例子“Why did you decide to become a vegetarian(素食主义者)?”,使例子更加完整全面。故选E。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Nod once in a while, smile at them, and make sure your body position is friendly and welcoming.( 时不时点头,对他们微笑,确保你的身势语是友好和受欢迎的)”可知,选项承接上文,这里鼓励说话者继续表达。F项“鼓励说话者继续使用简单的回答,如‘是’或‘嗯哼’”切题。故选F。

【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和时态。句意:被老师表扬的那个男孩比班上任何一个人都用功,这使他的父亲大为震惊。句子的谓语为worked,所以第一个空为非谓语动词praise与boy为被动关系,用过去分词作定语。第二个空为为定语从句的谓语,陈述过去的动作,用一般过去时。故选D项。
46. She finally managed ________ her brother ________ playing computer games all day long.
A. to persuade; give up B. persuade; giving up
C. to persuade; to give up D. persuade; given up
【答案】C

A. what B. whom C. which D. who
【答案】D

【详解】考查主语从句。句意:谁来参加这个重要会议还没有决定。分析句子结构可知,这里it是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的从句,在从句“______ will attend the important meeting”中,缺少主语,且表示“谁”会参加这个重要会议,所以应该用连接代词who来引导。故选D项。
48. Smoking________ in the public places since the ban came into effect in Shanghai.
A. prohibited B. was prohibited
C. has prohibited D. has been prohibited
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态。句意:自上海禁烟令生效以来,公共场所一直禁止吸烟。分析句子可知,这里考查谓语动词,主语Smoking,为不可数名词,与prohibit为被动关系,再由since the ban came into effect in Shanghai可知,这里时态应用现在完成时。故选D。
49. When he knew his answer was correct, his ________face showed that he was successful and his effort was ________.

【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查形式宾语和同位语从句。句意:我们发现他被北京大学录取的消息不是真的,这很有趣。分析句子可知,第一空应用it作形式宾语,而that the news ________ he had been admitted to Beijing University was not true为宾语从句,是真正的宾语,第二空考查同位语从句,he had been admitted to Beijing University是对the news的解释说明,从句中不缺少成分,且意思完整,所以用that引导。故选C项。
51. ________ with our house, his house ________ windows face south is more comfortable.
A. Comparing; whose B. Comparing; which
C. Compared; whose D. Compared; which
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词和定语从句。句意:和我们的房子相比,他那间窗户朝南的房子更舒适。根据第一空格后的with可知,此处用过去分词短语compared with表示“与……相比”作状语;第二空格处是限制性定语从句,先行词his house,关系词替代先行词在从句中作名词windows的定语,所以用关系代词whose。故选C项。
