UC Davis Safety Services will establish a Campus Emergency Response Team (CERT) in 2025, and now is the time to volunteer.
WHAT WE DO
CERT will promote campus safety and efficient emergency response in case of a disaster. When first responders don’t have enough personnel to assess the state of scene during an emergency, volunteers can add emergency response by helping with the initial phase of safety assessments. CERT will focus on campus-wide responses, but its resource and training can still be useful in other situations, such as those that happen off campus.
TRAINING
Volunteers will receive education about disaster preparedness and training in basic disaster response skills such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization and disaster medical operations. Training will consist of an hour-long exercise each month. Additionally, there will be an annual training exercise assessment supported by emergency responders.
CERT volunteers will receive an equipment bag containing all required items at no cost, including personal protective equipment such as a hat and gloves.
HOW TO APPLY
CERT will recruit (招募) a total of 20-30 CERT volunteers. Those who are interested in CERT are encouraged to apply through the official website by Dec. 31. And if you have any questions, you can send an email to the designated mailbox. There will be a meeting and guidance for prospective members in the first half of 2025, with full training in the second half of 2025.
Most meaningfully, becoming a CERT volunteer can allow opportunities to connect with others who are focused on promoting safety, creating a positive social environment. Come and join us.
21. What is a primary role of CERT volunteers during an emergency?
A. To manage campus security. B. To teach disaster response skills.
C. To provide medical assistance. D. To assist with initial safety assessments.
22. How often will CERT volunteers receive training exercises?
A. Weekly. B. Monthly. C. Quarterly. D. Yearly.
23. How can you apply to be a CERT volunteer?
A. By visiting a website. B. By attending a meeting.
C. By sending an email. D. By taking part in training.

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.
24. 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.
25. 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.
26. 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.
27. 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.

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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. 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.
32. 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.
33. 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.
34. 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.
35. 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.

It was 1978. I was eight, and it was my birthday. I was told to make a list of three friends who’d enjoy the water park in nearby Tampa, Florida. Since we didn’t have any spare money, the trip would be a packed lunch and no extras. I didn’t care — I was getting a special treat!
The great day arrived and my mom, younger brother, three friends and I piled into our old car. We headed out of town on the 90-minute ride to the water park for a day of sun and fun.
About halfway to the water park, the car started running badly and the “check engine” light came on. My mom pulled the car over. We were stuck. An hour passed as we waited for someone to stop and help.
A police officer stopped to see if we were all right and called a tow truck to pick up the car. On the way to the service station, Mom told the officer that we had been heading to the water park for my birthday treat. The officer dropped us off and left after giving me a short ride in the police car as a birthday present.
At the service station, the mechanic explained the water pump needed to be replaced. The cost, plus the tow, would be $135. Mom started crying and pulled me aside. She explained we wouldn’t have enough money to go anywhere but home, and we’d have to save up to go somewhere else for my birthday later. I was disappointed but tried not to show it, knowing even at that age that we didn’t have much money.
We tried to make the best of the day, the six of us having a picnic at the service station with the cake Mom had baked. Eventually, the mechanic called Mom into the office, saying the repairs were completed but he had to make a phone call before we could leave. He asked us to have a seat and wait.

1.续写词数应为150个左右;

UC Davis Safety Services will establish a Campus Emergency Response Team (CERT) in 2025, and now is the time to volunteer.
WHAT WE DO
CERT will promote campus safety and efficient emergency response in case of a disaster. When first responders don’t have enough personnel to assess the state of scene during an emergency, volunteers can add emergency response by helping with the initial phase of safety assessments. CERT will focus on campus-wide responses, but its resource and training can still be useful in other situations, such as those that happen off campus.
TRAINING
Volunteers will receive education about disaster preparedness and training in basic disaster response skills such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization and disaster medical operations. Training will consist of an hour-long exercise each month. Additionally, there will be an annual training exercise assessment supported by emergency responders.
CERT volunteers will receive an equipment bag containing all required items at no cost, including personal protective equipment such as a hat and gloves.
HOW TO APPLY
CERT will recruit (招募) a total of 20-30 CERT volunteers. Those who are interested in CERT are encouraged to apply through the official website by Dec. 31. And if you have any questions, you can send an email to the designated mailbox. There will be a meeting and guidance for prospective members in the first half of 2025, with full training in the second half of 2025.
Most meaningfully, becoming a CERT volunteer can allow opportunities to connect with others who are focused on promoting safety, creating a positive social environment. Come and join us.
21. What is a primary role of CERT volunteers during an emergency?
A. To manage campus security. B. To teach disaster response skills.
C. To provide medical assistance. D. To assist with initial safety assessments.
22. How often will CERT volunteers receive training exercises?
A. Weekly. B. Monthly. C. Quarterly. D. Yearly.
23. How can you apply to be a CERT volunteer?
A. By visiting a website. B. By attending a meeting.
C. By sending an email. D. By taking part in training.

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.
24. 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.
25. 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.
26. 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.
27. 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】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. 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。
【24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%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。
【25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。
【26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。
【27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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. 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】28. D 29. A 30. D 31. 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。
【28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。
【29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。
【30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。
【31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.
32. 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.
33. 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.
34. 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.
35. 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】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. 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。
【32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.(“描述语言习得的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。
【33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。
【34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。
【35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。

【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了苏州刺绣的历史。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:从10世纪开始,它一直是一个重要的经济、文化和商业中心。center为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,结合句意,此处表示“一个……中心”,所以,应用不定冠词表泛指,且important的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:苏州刺绣博物馆解释说:“最初,它是用来装饰衣服和家居用品的。”空处为谓语动词,动词use与句子主语it之间是被动关系,且由时间状语Initially可知动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was used。

【60题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意:到了宋代,家家户户都在养蚕、刺绣,这些都反映了中国传统的绘画风格,“针线画”一词由此而来。由句意可知,此处的family是可数名词,应用其复数形式families,作宾语,表泛指意义。故填families。
【61题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意:1644年以后,它的地位在清朝进一步提高,苏州被宣布为“绣都”。根据句意可知, 此处应用far的比较级形式further,意为“进一步”,作状语,修饰raised。故填further。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:1644年以后,它的地位在清朝进一步提高,苏州被宣布为“绣都”。此处为with复合结构,Suzhou与declare之间为被动关系,应用过去分词表示被动。故填declared。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:对于来苏州的游客来说,体验苏绣艺术可以让他们对这座城市的文化结构有一个独特的了解。an insight into sth意为“对某事物本质的了解”。故填into。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:整个城市的博物馆、工作室和学校都提供课程和示范,让游客直接接触这种古老的工艺。allow sb to do sth意为“允许某人做某事”,不定式作宾语补足语。故填to engage。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was 1978. I was eight, and it was my birthday. I was told to make a list of three friends who’d enjoy the water park in nearby Tampa, Florida. Since we didn’t have any spare money, the trip would be a packed lunch and no extras. I didn’t care — I was getting a special treat!
The great day arrived, and my mom, younger brother, three friends and I piled into our old car. We headed out of town on the 90-minute ride to the water park for a day of sun and fun.
About halfway to the water park, the car started running badly and the “check engine” light came on. My mom pulled the car over. We were stuck. An hour passed as we waited for someone to stop and help.
A police officer stopped to see if we were all right and called a tow truck to pick up the car. On the way to the service station, Mom told the officer that we had been heading to the water park for my birthday treat. The officer dropped us off and left after giving me a short ride in the police car as a birthday present.
At the service station, the mechanic explained the water pump needed to be replaced. The cost, plus the tow, would be $135. Mom started crying and pulled me aside. She explained we wouldn’t have enough money to go anywhere but home, and we’d have to save up to go somewhere else for my birthday later. I was disappointed but tried not to show it, knowing even at that age that we didn’t have much money.
We tried to make the best of the day, the six of us having a picnic at the service station with the cake Mom had baked. Eventually, the mechanic called Mom into the office, saying the repairs were completed but he had to make a phone call before we could leave. He asked us to have a seat and wait.
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。
The next thing I knew, the police officer came in the door of the service station.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The police officer saved my birthday trip.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next thing I knew, the police officer came in the door of the service station. He walked up to me with a wrapped present, handed it to me, and wished me a happy birthday. Then he paid the mechanic for the repairs. The officer told Mom in his growing up, his family was poor and didn’t have much for any important occasions even for children’s birthdays. But as a child, how he wished to have a birthday present. Now considering our condition, he knew we didn’t, either.
The police officer saved my birthday trip. He said my birthday trip shouldn’t be ruined because of something we had no control over. Opening the present, I jumped with great joy. It was a small toy cat, but it made my day. With the act of kindness, this officer changed my life. I’m a single father raising two children of my own now. I am not rich, but I remember that day and try to help others when I get a chance. A kind act can change a person forever, and I try to instill this concept into my children’s lives.
