Studies show in addition to being fun，listening to birdsong can reduce stress and anxiety.Even hearing recordings of birds can relieve negative emotions.After noticing an abandoned，nonworking pay phone in town，Schulman wondered if he could turn it into something appealing.He said，“I really like the old technology of just picking up a receiver，pressing one button and having something happen.” Schulman thought bringing bird sounds to the abandoned phone was a way to add a bit of nature to the neighborhood. Takoma Park city officials agreed，and they budgeted $5，000 to complete the project.Schulman reached out to the Macaulay Library in Ithaca，New York，which agreed to send him a few dozen recordings of native birds.He then managed to gain the help of Branden Hall，a software engineer and artist，to rewire the phone to play different bird calls.Schulman said he persuaded several of his friends to record short descriptions of each bird to go with the calls. “One thing I like about the Bird Calls Phone is that it's the opposite of a loud broadcast，” Schulman said.“Only one person can listen at a time，and each person will take away their own unique experience.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。塔科马帕克小提琴家David Schulman发明了鸟叫电话，人们能够通过按电话按钮就能听到不同的鸟叫，从而起到缓解压力的作用。 1．What will listeners hear if they press buttons on the pay phone? A．The calls of native birds. B．Songs in different languages. C．Descriptions of local creatures. D．Instructions on reducing stress. 解析　A　细节理解题。 根据第二段中的“Listeners push 1 to hear a yellow­crowned night heron (夜鹭)，7 to hear a pileated(有羽冠的) woodpecker's call and 9 for the distinct scream of a red­tailed hawk”可知，听众按1，可听到黄冠夜鹭的叫声；按7，可听到啄木鸟的叫声；按9，可听到红尾鹰的独特尖叫声。由此可知，听众会听到本地鸟类的叫声，故选A。 2．Which of the following best describes David Schulman? A．Observant and nature­loving. B．Diligent and easy­going. C．Serious and public­spirited. D．Ambitious and kind­hearted. 解析　A　推理判断题。本文第四段中的“After noticing an abandoned...into something appealing”可知，David Schulman通过观察发明了Bird Calls Phone，这说明David Schulman是一个善于观察的人。同时第三段最后一句“Schulman thought bringing bird sounds to the abandoned phone was a way to add a bit of nature to the neighborhood”谈到Schulman认为，将鸟儿的声音带到废弃的电话中是为社区增添一点自然气息的一种方式，由此可推知，他是一个热爱大自然的人。故选A。 3．What can be inferred about the project? A．It encourages art appreciation. B．It presents the harmony among birds. C．It turns loud broadcasts into private phones. D．It receives broad support from the community. 解析　D　推理判断题。 根据倒数第二段的描述可知，Schulman联系了纽约伊萨卡的麦考利图书馆，该图书馆同意给Schulman发送几十个本地鸟类的录音。然后，Schulman设法获得了软件工程师和艺术家Branden Hall的帮助，重新连接了电话以播放不同的鸟叫声。由此可知，这个项目得到了社会各界的广泛支持，故选D。 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．A Violinist Specializes in Ecology B．Pick up the Phone，Hear Birdsong C．Close to Nature，Far From Depression D．Turn Trash into Treasure in Washington 解析　B　标题归纳题。 通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了David Schulman发明了一个电话，人们按下不同的按钮就会听到不同的鸟叫，故B项“拿起电话，听到鸟鸣”最适合作本文的标题。 B (2024·济南一模)A new study reveals that pigeons (鸽子) can tackle some problems just like artificial intelligence，enabling them to solve difficult tasks that might challenge humans.Previous research has theorized that pigeons employ a problem­solving strategy，involving a trial­and­error approach，which is similar to the approach used in AI models but differs from humans' reliance on selective attention and rule use.To examine it，Brandon Turner，a psychology professor at The Ohio State University，and his colleagues conducted the new study. In the study，the pigeons were presented with various visual images，including lines of different widths and angles，and different types of rings.The pigeons had to peck (啄) a button on the right or left to indicate the category to which the image belonged.If they got it correct，they received food; if they were wrong，they received nothing.Results showed that，through trial and error，the pigeons improved their accuracy in categorization tasks，increasing their correct choices from about 55% to 95%. Researchers believed pigeons used associative learning，which is linking two phenomena with each other.For example，it is easy to understand the link between “water” and “wet”．“Associative learning is frequently assumed to be far too primitive to explain complex visual categorization like what we saw the pigeons do，” Tumer said.But that's exactly what the researchers found. The researchers' AI model tackled the same tasks using just the two simple mechanisms that pigeons were assumed to use: associative learning and error correction.And，like the pigeons，the AI model learned to make the right predictions to significantly increase the number of correct answers.For humans，the challenge when given tasks like those given to pigeons is that they would try to come up with rules that could make the tasks easier.But in this case，there were no rules，which upsets humans. “What's interesting，though，is that pigeons use this method of learning that is very similar to AI designed by humans，” Turner said.“We celebrate how smart we are that we designed artificial intelligence; at the same time，we regard pigeons as not clever animals，” he said. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。科学家发现鸽子可以像人工智能一样解决一些复杂的问题。本文主要讲到了研究的过程和相关科学家对研究的评论。 5．What is the purpose of the new study? A．To test a theory. B．To evaluate a model. C．To employ a strategy. D．To involve an approach. 解析　A　写作意图题。根据第一段中的“Previous research has theorized that pigeons employ a problem­solving strategy...To examine it，Brandon Turner...and his colleagues conducted the new study”可知，Brandon Turner和他的同事之所以展开新的研究，是为了验证之前研究提出的理论。故A项正确。 6．What were the pigeons expected to do in the experiment? A．Draw circles. B．Correct errors. C．Copy gestures. D．Identify images. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The pigeons had to peck (啄) a button on the right or left to indicate the category to which the image belonged”可知，科学家们希望鸽子可以按动左右按钮来确认图像所属的类别，也就是说，科学家希望鸽子能够识别图像。故D项正确。 7．What do pigeons and AI have in common according to the study? A．They are of equal intelligence. B．They are good at making rules. C．They respond rapidly to orders from humans. D．They employ simple ways to get things done. 解析　D　细节理解题。 根据第四段中的“The researchers' AI model tackled the same tasks using just the two simple mechanisms that pigeons were assumed to use”可知，研究人员的人工智能模型也使用了鸽子使用的简单的方法来处理相同的任务，这是二者的共同之处。故D项正确。 8．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Pigeons' Trial­and­Error Method is Revealed B．Pigeons Outperform Humans in Tough Tasks C．“Not smart” Pigeons may Be as Smart as AI D．AI Models After Pigeons' Learning Approach 解析　C　标题归纳题。根据本文第一段中的“A new study reveals that pigeons (鸽子) can tackle some problems just like artificial intelligence”和最后一段中的“We celebrate how smart we are...we regard pigeons as not clever animals”可知，本文首尾呼应，都讲到了我们认为不怎么聪明的鸽子可以像人工智能一样去解决问题，故C项“‘不怎么聪明的’鸽子或许和人工智能一样聪明”适合作本文的标题。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2024·重庆质量调研) I was never a fan of football，or any sports for that matter.At primary school，my classmates spent their lunch break 1 on the playground，while I was in the library getting pleasure from 2 ．In games lessons，to fit in，I 3 to be interested.

Harvey was 14 ，and we've since returned to Meadow Park five times，each time feeling a 15 connection with the team's supporter community.
