Take a road trip from Chicago and check out these Mid-western tourist spots that look like they’re straight out of a European postcard． ★Niles, Illinois If you visit a square at 6300 W. Touhy Avenue, you’ll find a pleasantly European surprise — a half-sized copy of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Constructed in1934 to hide a water tower, the Leaning Tower of Niles stands 94 feet tall with a 7. 4-foot tilt which looks like the Italian one． ★Lindsborg, Kansas Originally settled by Swedish immigrants, Lindsborg’s Scandinavian culture remains clear through public art and Swedish specialty shops, so prepare to collect Scandinavia n clothes, cookies, and wine. Best of all are the town’s yearly Scandinavian celebrations, where you’ll find various Swedish traditions． ★Frankenmuth, Michigan Lovingly called “Little Bavaria”, this central Michigan town look like they’ve been transported straight out of a Franconian village. For the full Bavarian experience, you can stop by one of its restaurants for traditional German food. You can also learn a little more about the town’s Franconian origins． ★New Glarus, Wisconsin Many people in Chicago know New Glarus for its brewery. Take a walk there and you’ll soon realize why it’s called “Little Switzerland”. Named after the big city of Glarus in Switzerland, New Glarus’ wooden houses, Swiss restaurants and museums, and gently hilled landscapes make for an almost Alpine（阿尔卑斯山的）experience． 1. What is the best part of a trip to Lindsborg Kansas? A. The local natural scenery． B. The Scandinavian celebrations． C. The Scandinavian dressing culture． D. The traditional Scandinavia n foods． 2. Where can visitors enjoy traditional German food? A. Niles, Illinois． B. Lindsborg, Kansas． C. Frankenmuth, Michigan． D. New Glarus, Wisconsin． 3. Why is New Glarus called “Little Switzetland”? A. For its famous brewery． B. For its Alpine-style design． C. For its main Swiss population． D. For the same city name of Glarus． 【答案】1 B 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了美国中西部的四个看起来像是在欧洲的地方。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据★Lindsborg, Kansas标题下“Best of all are the town’s yearly Scandinavian celebrations, where you’ll find various Swedish traditions.”（最精彩的是镇上一年一度的斯堪的纳维亚式庆祝活动，在那里你会发现各种瑞典传统。）可知，堪萨斯州林兹堡之旅最棒的部分是斯堪的纳维亚的庆祝活动。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据★Frankenmuth, Michigan标题下“For the full Bavarian experience, you can stop by one of its restaurants for traditional German food.”（想要完整的巴伐利亚体验，你可以去那里的一家餐馆品尝传统的德国食物。）可知，游客在密歇根弗兰肯穆斯可以品尝到传统的德国食物。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据★New Glarus, Wisconsin标题下“Take a walk there and you’ll soon realize why it’s called “Little Switzerland”. Named after the big city of Glarus in Switzerland, New Glarus’ wooden houses, Swiss restaurants and museums, and gently hilled landscapes make for an almost Alpine（阿尔卑斯山的）experience.”（在那里散步，你很快就会明白为什么它被称为“小瑞士”。新格拉鲁斯以瑞士的大城市格拉鲁斯命名，木屋、瑞士餐馆和博物馆，以及平缓的丘陵景观，让你几乎可以体验到阿尔卑斯山的美景。）可知，新格拉鲁斯被称为“小瑞士”是因为它的阿尔卑斯风格设计。故选B项。 B Every day Juanita Mengel, a 67-year-old woman from the state of Ohio, wakes up and puts on her prosthetic (假体的) leg. Then, Mengel does the same for Lola-Pearl, her five-year-old cat. Lola-Pearl also missed her back left leg. Mengel has many cats. Most of them have disabilities. But Lola-Pearl is special. She is a therapy (治疗) cat. And, she and Mengel are partners of a kind. They are among 200 therapy cat teams registered in the United States by the non-profit group, Pet Partners. The group helps humans and pets alike by setting them up into teams to provide animal-assisted (帮助) therapy. The teams visit hospitals, nursing homes and schools and assist those in need. Besides dogs and cats, Pet Partners registers other species as therapy animals, including horses, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, birds and mini pigs. Taylor Griffin is national director at Pet Partners. She said, “Therapy animals are animals who’ve been gauged whether they are suitable for assisting some people, and are based on their ability to meet new people and enjoy the process.” Mengel said Lola-Pearl showed signs that she would make a good therapy cat soon after the animal joined her family. “I just knew she would be a good therapy because she was so good with people. People really were attracted to her, too,” Mengel said. Mengel was a traveling nurse when she was in a car accident that almost killed her. One of her legs could not be saved. Later, she connected with a friend in the state of Missouri who had a severely injured kitten. The cat’s legs were twisted together. An animal medical specialist worked to repair the damage, but in the end, they had to remove one of the baby cat’s legs. That kitten was Lola-Pearl. Mengel took Lola-Pearl as her cat after talking with her friend. Despite the difficulties Mengel has faced, she is grateful to Lola-Pearl and their work in Pet Partners. “It’s a really rewarding experience,” she said. “I get just as much out of it as the people that I visit.” 4. What can we know about Pet Partners? A. It mainly provides animal-assisted therapy. B. It is a non-profit group founded by Taylor Griffin. C. It only offers help to patients in hospitals. D. It doesn’t register birds as therapy animals. 5. What does the underlined word “gauged” mean in paragraph 4? A. Guessed. B. Designed. C. Explained. D. Measured. 6. How did Juanita Mengel get to know Lola-Pearl? A. By working in Pet Partners. B. Through one of her friends. C. By repairing Lola-Pearl’s leg. D. Through moving to Missouri. 7. Which of the following can best describe Juanita Mengel? A. Optimistic and helpful. B. Proud and humorous. C. Talkative and thoughtful. D. Honest and talented. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了非营利组织Pet Partners通过将人类和宠物组成团队提供动物援助，来自俄亥俄州的Juanita Mengel与治疗猫Lola Pearl成为伙伴，从中受益。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The group helps humans and pets alike by setting them up into teams to provide animal-assisted (帮助) therapy.(该组织通过组建团队提供动物辅助治疗来帮助人类和宠物)”可知，Pet Partners这一组织主要提供动物辅助治疗。故选A。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“She said, “Therapy animals are animals who’ve been gauged whether they are suitable for assisting some people, and are based on their ability to meet new people and enjoy the process.”(她说：“治疗动物是经过gauged它们是否是适合帮助一些人的动物，这是基于它们结识新朋友和享受这个过程的能力。”)”可知，基于它们结识新朋友和享受这个过程的能力，治疗动物需要被衡量它们是否适合帮助人，推测划线单词表示“衡量”，与measured同义。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Mengel was a traveling nurse when she was in a car accident that almost killed her. One of her legs could not be saved. Later, she connected with a friend in the state of Missouri who had a severely injured kitten. The cat’s legs were twisted together. An animal medical specialist worked to repair the damage, but in the end, they had to remove one of the baby cat’s legs. That kitten was Lola-Pearl.(Mengel是一名旅行护士，她遭遇了一场差点丧命的车祸。她的一条腿无法挽救。后来，她与密苏里州的一位朋友取得了联系，这位朋友养了一只严重受伤的小猫。猫的腿扭在一起了。一位动物医学专家努力修复损伤，但最终，他们不得不切除这只小猫的一条腿。那只小猫叫Lola-Pearl)”可知，Juanita Mengel是通过密苏里州的一位朋友认识Lola-Pearl的。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The teams visit hospitals, nursing homes and schools and assist those in need.(这些团队访问医院、疗养院和学校，并帮助那些需要帮助的人)”以及第七段“Despite the difficulties Mengel has faced, she is grateful to Lola-Pearl and their work in Pet Partners.(尽管Mengel遇到了困难，但她还是感谢Lola Pearl和它们在Pet Partners中的工作)”可知，Juanita Mengel与自己的治疗动物团队去帮助那些需要帮助的人，在自己遇到困难时仍然感激治疗猫和他人所做的工作，可推测Juanita Mengel是乐观且乐于助人的。故选A。 C The dry land in Gir National Park and Wildlife Preserve located near India western tip, is the proud — and only — home of the Asiatic lion. By the early 1900s, however, their populations had decreased for homo loss and hunting, leaving fewer than 50 known individuals alive. Though their numbers have risen over the past several decades — climbing to around 670 in 2020, a successful story — the lions are still considered endangered. One of the biggest challenges to keep the lions’ future is to track them, a hard work. Some animals, like tigers and zebras, have special coat patterns (图案) that provide useful marks to the researchers. But for the Asiatic lions, researchers must look elsewhere. In 2019, Banerjee, who worked for Indias National Tiger Conservation Authority, developed an AI system to recognize the lions with high accuracy (精准). The AI program, SIMBA, has been applied in practice. “It will be a fantastic tool for long-term lion monitoring,” says Banerjee. He adds, “It could help forest officials arrive at a more accurate estimate (评估) of Gir’s lion population. In a few years, the group will have a rich collection of information — how many lions are male, female, how many will bear babies and how many are dead.” Despite the advantages, Baneijee also adds his worries. He suggests certain rules be made to prevent main information from being stolen. “Where tools like SIMBA really shine”, he says, “is in helping researchers develop monitoring plans that are keys to the protection of at-risk animals,” he says, “otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain.” 8. What is the greatest difficulty in protecting Asiatic lions? A. Stopping them from being killed. B. Keeping track of them. C. Protecting their living environment. D. Increasing their population. 9. How does SIMBA help researchers? A. By locating lions’ homes. B. By tracking other animals. C. By monitoring the animal stealers. D. By providing accurate information. 10. What’s Baneijee’s opinion about the AI program? A. It needs to be widely used. B. It has saved the at-risk animals. C. Its possible risks should be aware of. D. Its disadvantages should be ignored. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Application of AI on Protecting Animals. B. The AI Program for the Endangered Asiatic Lions. C. The Measures of Protecting Asiatic Lions. D. The Biggest Challenge of the AI system. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能在保护濒危的亚洲狮方面的作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One of the biggest challenges to keep the lions’ future is to track them, a hard work.”（要想保住狮子的未来，最大的挑战之一就是追踪它们，这是一项艰巨的工作。）可知，保护亚洲狮最大的困难是跟踪他们。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He adds, “It could help forest officials arrive at a more accurate estimate (评估) of Gir’s lion population. In a few years, the group will have a rich collection of information — how many lions are male, female, how many will bear babies and how many are dead.””（他补充说:“这可以帮助森林官员更准确地估计吉尔的狮子数量。几年后，该组织将收集到丰富的信息——有多少狮子是雄性的，有多少是雌性的，有多少会生育，有多少会死亡。”）可知，SIMBA通过提供准确的信息帮助研究人员。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Despite the advantages, Baneijee also adds his worries. He suggests certain rules be made to prevent main information from being stolen.”（尽管有这些优势，Baneijee也增加了他的担忧。他建议制定一些规则来防止主要信息被盗。）可知，Baneijee对人工智能项目的看法是应该意识到它可能存在的风险。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In 2019, Banerjee, who worked for Indias National Tiger Conservation Authority, developed an AI system to recognize the lions with high accuracy (精准). The AI program, SIMBA, has been applied in practice.”（2019年，在印度国家老虎保护局工作的班纳吉开发了一种人工智能系统，可以高精度地识别狮子。人工智能程序SIMBA已经在实践中得到了应用。）可知，本文是介绍了濒危亚洲狮人工智能项目。故选B项。 D Everywhere I look, there are new buildings under construction. The neighborhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. There is good reason for this. Residents want all the conveniences of modern living. However, how can our children understand and maintain their cultural identity if we erase so much of the physical evidence of it? The arguments for preserving historic buildings are not simply about an emotional attachment to the past. There are also good economic arguments in favour of preservation. The renovation (修缮) and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic Al Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world. It also attracts local residents, eager to learn about their city's past. Some have argued that historic preservation is too expensive, but many recent projects have demonstrated that this is not necessarily the case. In fact, renovation of an existing structure for adaptive reuse can cost about £40 per square metre less than even the most basic new construction, while preserving the beauty of the original building. And, although it is often claimed that old buildings have a more significant environmental footprint than new construction because they aren’t very energy efficient, architects and environmental experts maintain that the greenest building is the one that is already built. New construction almost always has a more serious environmental impact (影响) because it requires the use of all-new materials that must be transported, often over long distances, instead of recycled materials that are already on site. We recycle so many other things. We can and should recycle buildings, too. Historic preservation is an option that opens many possibilities; demolition (拆毁), in contrast, is irreversible. Once these treasures are lost, they are lost forever, an important link in our heritage that can never be recovered. 12. What drives people to replace old buildings with new ones? A. Their dislike of old buildings. B. Their pride in cultural identity. C. Their concern about young generations. D. Their desire for modern comforts. 13. What does the example of Al Bastikiya show? A. Historic renovation costs much money. B. Local governments support small businesses. C. Historic preservation brings economic benefits. D. International tourism promises economic recovery. 14. What can be inferred about renovating old buildings from paragraph 3? A. It uses green materials. B. It damages architectural beauty. C. It reduces enviromental impact. D. It worries environmental experts. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards historic preservation? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Objective. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了人们对保护遗产的看法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The neighborhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. There is good reason for this. Residents want all the conveniences of modern living.(我小时候所熟悉的社区，到处都是美丽的老建筑，现在大部分都消失了，取而代之的是现代化的高层建筑。这是有充分理由的。居民们想要现代生活的一切便利)”可知，是人们对现代舒适的渴望驱使人们用新建筑取代旧建筑。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The renovation (修缮)and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic Al Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world.(对历史街区的改造和保护可以成为一个经济引擎，吸引游客和小企业来到该地区。例如，在迪拜，历史悠久的Al bastikiya区每年吸引成千上万来自世界各地的游客)”可知，举Al bastikiya的例子表明：文物保护带来经济效益。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“And, although it is often claimed that old buildings have a more significant environmental footprint than new construction because they aren't very energy efficient, architects and environmental experts maintain that the greenest building is the one that is already built.(而且，尽管人们经常声称老建筑的环境足迹比新建筑更大，因为它们不是很节能，但建筑师和环境专家坚持认为，最环保的建筑是已经建成的建筑)”可推知，翻新旧建筑减少了对环境的影响。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Historic preservation is an option that opens many possibilities; demolition (拆毁), in contrast, is irreversible. Once these treasures are lost, they are lost forever, an important link in our heritage that can never be recovered.(历史保护是一种提供多种可能性的选择；相反，拆迁是不可逆转的。一旦这些宝藏失去，它们就永远失去了，这是我们遗产中一个永远无法恢复的重要环节)”可推知，作者对历史保护的态度是积极的和支持的。故选A项。 第三节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 One great way to spend time outdoors is to garden.

At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs. Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing. Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary. That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks. After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, however, Mary came with good news. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of her class. Jane’s eyes sparkled but responded doubtfully, “Can I...?” Mary and I immediately assured her that she could make it. In the following month, with the help of Mary, Jane kept on practicing singing. Beautiful songs echoed in our house again and smiles began to appear on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself. When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. Jane was greeted with warm applause. As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose with thunderous cheers. When wheeled off stage, Jane received praise and bunches of flowers from her teachers and classmates. Jane was moved to tears. The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的女儿简梦想成为歌手，在她的音乐老师玛丽的帮助下，简为了她的梦想努力取得进步。突然有一天，简遭遇了车祸，以后都不能自己站起来了，必须坐轮椅四处走动，简再也没有提过唱歌的话题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，有一天，玛丽带来了好消息。”可知，第一段可描写玛丽告诉简希望她代表班级唱歌，简在玛丽的帮助下继续练习，终于可以展示自己了。 ②由第二段首句内容“当主持人宣布轮到简时，她被推上了舞台。”可知，第二段可描写简的歌声得到了老师和同学们的赞扬，简重新找回了最初追求梦想的信心。 2.续写线索：好消息——简怀疑自己——练习唱歌——开始表演——得到赞扬——找到信心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①希望：expect/hope/wish ②回答：respond/reply/answer ③保证：assure/guarantee/ensure 情绪类 ①眼睛闪闪发光：eyes sparkle/eyes glitter ②感动：move/touch 【点睛】[高分句型1]As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice.（由连接词as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly.（由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度第二学期高一年级第一次质量检测 英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Take a road trip from Chicago and check out these Mid-western tourist spots that look like they’re straight out of a European postcard． ★Niles, Illinois If you visit a square at 6300 W. Touhy Avenue, you’ll find a pleasantly European surprise — a half-sized copy of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Constructed in1934 to hide a water tower, the Leaning Tower of Niles stands 94 feet tall with a 7. 4-foot tilt which looks like the Italian one． ★Lindsborg, Kansas Originally settled by Swedish immigrants, Lindsborg’s Scandinavian culture remains clear through public art and Swedish specialty shops, so prepare to collect Scandinavia n clothes, cookies, and wine. Best of all are the town’s yearly Scandinavian celebrations, where you’ll find various Swedish traditions． ★Frankenmuth, Michigan Lovingly called “Little Bavaria”, this central Michigan town look like they’ve been transported straight out of a Franconian village. For the full Bavarian experience, you can stop by one of its restaurants for traditional German food. You can also learn a little more about the town’s Franconian origins． ★New Glarus, Wisconsin Many people in Chicago know New Glarus for its brewery. Take a walk there and you’ll soon realize why it’s called “Little Switzerland”. Named after the big city of Glarus in Switzerland, New Glarus’ wooden houses, Swiss restaurants and museums, and gently hilled landscapes make for an almost Alpine（阿尔卑斯山的）experience． 1.

Then, Mengel does the same for Lola-Pearl, her five-year-old cat. Lola-Pearl also missed her back left leg. Mengel has many cats. Most of them have disabilities. But Lola-Pearl is special. She is a therapy (治疗) cat. And, she and Mengel are partners of a kind. They are among 200 therapy cat teams registered in the United States by the non-profit group, Pet Partners. The group helps humans and pets alike by setting them up into teams to provide animal-assisted (帮助) therapy. The teams visit hospitals, nursing homes and schools and assist those in need. Besides dogs and cats, Pet Partners registers other species as therapy animals, including horses, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, birds and mini pigs. Taylor Griffin is national director at Pet Partners. She said, “Therapy animals are animals who’ve been gauged whether they are suitable for assisting some people, and are based on their ability to meet new people and enjoy the process.” Mengel said Lola-Pearl showed signs that she would make a good therapy cat soon after the animal joined her family. “I just knew she would be a good therapy because she was so good with people. People really were attracted to her, too,” Mengel said. Mengel was a traveling nurse when she was in a car accident that almost killed her. One of her legs could not be saved. Later, she connected with a friend in the state of Missouri who had a severely injured kitten. The cat’s legs were twisted together. An animal medical specialist worked to repair the damage, but in the end, they had to remove one of the baby cat’s legs. That kitten was Lola-Pearl. Mengel took Lola-Pearl as her cat after talking with her friend. Despite the difficulties Mengel has faced, she is grateful to Lola-Pearl and their work in Pet Partners. “It’s a really rewarding experience,” she said. “I get just as much out of it as the people that I visit.” 4. What can we know about Pet Partners? A. It mainly provides animal-assisted therapy. B. It is a non-profit group founded by Taylor Griffin. C. It only offers help to patients in hospitals. D. It doesn’t register birds as therapy animals. 5 What does the underlined word “gauged” mean in paragraph 4? A. Guessed. B. Designed. C. Explained. D. Measured. 6. How did Juanita Mengel get to know Lola-Pearl? A. By working in Pet Partners. B. Through one of her friends. C. By repairing Lola-Pearl’s leg. D. Through moving to Missouri. 7. Which of the following can best describe Juanita Mengel? A. Optimistic and helpful. B. Proud and humorous. C. Talkative and thoughtful. D. Honest and talented. C The dry land in Gir National Park and Wildlife Preserve, located near India western tip, is the proud — and only — home of the Asiatic lion. By the early 1900s, however, their populations had decreased for homo loss and hunting, leaving fewer than 50 known individuals alive. Though their numbers have risen over the past several decades — climbing to around 670 in 2020, a successful story — the lions are still considered endangered. One of the biggest challenges to keep the lions’ future is to track them, a hard work. Some animals, like tigers and zebras, have special coat patterns (图案) that provide useful marks to the researchers. But for the Asiatic lions, researchers must look elsewhere. In 2019, Banerjee, who worked for Indias National Tiger Conservation Authority, developed an AI system to recognize the lions with high accuracy (精准). The AI program, SIMBA, has been applied in practice. “It will be a fantastic tool for long-term lion monitoring,” says Banerjee. He adds, “It could help forest officials arrive at a more accurate estimate (评估) of Gir’s lion population. In a few years, the group will have a rich collection of information — how many lions are male, female, how many will bear babies and how many are dead.” Despite the advantages, Baneijee also adds his worries. He suggests certain rules be made to prevent main information from being stolen. “Where tools like SIMBA really shine”, he says, “is in helping researchers develop monitoring plans that are keys to the protection of at-risk animals,” he says, “otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain.” 8. What is the greatest difficulty in protecting Asiatic lions? A. Stopping them from being killed. B. Keeping track of them. C. Protecting their living environment. D. Increasing their population. 9. How does SIMBA help researchers? A. By locating lions’ homes. B. By tracking other animals. C. By monitoring the animal stealers. D. By providing accurate information. 10. What’s Baneijee’s opinion about the AI program? A It needs to be widely used. B. It has saved the at-risk animals. C. Its possible risks should be aware of. D. Its disadvantages should be ignored. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Application of AI on Protecting Animals. B. The AI Program for the Endangered Asiatic Lions. C. The Measures of Protecting Asiatic Lions. D. The Biggest Challenge of the AI system. D Everywhere I look, there are new buildings under construction. The neighborhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. There is good reason for this. Residents want all the conveniences of modern living. However, how can our children understand and maintain their cultural identity if we erase so much of the physical evidence of it? The arguments for preserving historic buildings are not simply about an emotional attachment to the past. There are also good economic arguments in favour of preservation. The renovation (修缮) and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic Al Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world. It also attracts local residents, eager to learn about their city's past. Some have argued that historic preservation is too expensive, but many recent projects have demonstrated that this is not necessarily the case. In fact, renovation of an existing structure for adaptive reuse can cost about £40 per square metre less than even the most basic new construction, while preserving the beauty of the original building. And, although it is often claimed that old buildings have a more significant environmental footprint than new construction because they aren’t very energy efficient, architects and environmental experts maintain that the greenest building is the one that is already built. New construction almost always has a more serious environmental impact (影响) because it requires the use of all-new materials that must be transported, often over long distances, instead of recycled materials that are already on site.

At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs. Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing. Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary. That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks. After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, however, Mary came with good news. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
