C 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了四处适合一家人出行的度假胜地。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Westgate Town Center Resort, Kissimmee, Florida”部分中“Located in Kissimmee, Westgate Town Center Resort’s best quality is that it is an affordable choice that is within close reach of Disney World.(Westgate Town Center Resort位于基西米，其最佳品质是价格实惠，且距离迪士尼世界仅几步之遥)”以及“The Grove Resort & Water Park, Orlando, Florida”部分中“The resort is also very close to Disney World.(度假村离迪斯尼乐园也很近)”可知，Westgate Town Center Resort和The Grove Resort & Water Park的共同之处在于都离迪斯尼乐园很近。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Planet Hollywood Beach Resort, Cancun, Mexico”部分中“There are swimming pools, a lazy river, mini-golf course, and Jurassic Splash Park.(这里有游泳池，一条缓慢流动的小河，迷你高尔夫球场和侏罗纪飞溅公园)”可知，如果你想去Jurassic Splash Park，可以选择Planet Hollywood Beach Resort。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Traveling with kids is no picnic, especially when you have to worry about keeping them entertained while at the hotel. Here are some of the best all-inclusive kid-friendly resorts (度假胜地) you can visit.(和孩子们一起旅行并不是一件轻松的事，尤其是当你不得不担心在酒店里让他们娱乐的时候。这里有一些你可以参观的最好的全包式儿童友好度假村)”结合文章主要介绍了四处适合一家人出行的度假胜地，可知，文章可能出自旅游指南。故选C。 B Roads with variable (可变的) speed limits, also known as smart motorways, are common in countries including the US, UK and Germany. Usually, rule-based systems monitor the number of vehicles on one of these roads and change speeds accordingly. One such road is a 27-kilometre section of the I-24 freeway near Nashville, Tennessee, which was experiencing a problem: when there are too many vehicles, traffic jams appear when drivers brake, slowing vehicles to move slowly and risking crashes as fast-moving vehicles come up behind. To address this, Daniel Work at Vanderbilt University in Nashville and his colleagues trained an AI on historical traffic data to monitor cameras and make decisions on speed limits, deploying (部署) it in the I-24 control room in February. Originally, the AI was tested with the existing software — not having control over limits, but telling operators what it would have decided — and faced problems that happened at the early stage. After some adjustments, the team started a new system in March that has been able to operate independently ever since. The AI works 98 percent of the time, but if it sometimes calls for a change in speed limit that is larger than 10 miles per hour, it would go against federal law. It isn’t clear how drivers have responded to the new system or whether it has improved traffic. Work says that data on the project won’t be open until later this year, as it is still being analyzed, but he is positive about the results. “I think that we’re just scratching the surface of a whole new way to run freeways,” says Work. “It’s a complete change how these systems operate, which means there are more things remaining to be done. Anything that we can do to reduce the number of crashes and deaths happening on that roadway is worth doing. The area needs attention so much, which drove the whole project in the first place: terrible traffic jams, a lot of growth, and a corridor (走廊) that sees a lot of crashes. Sitting by and doing nothing is not good for anybody.” 4. What is the problem with the 27-kilometre section of the I-24 freeway? A. So many vehicles. B. Traffic crashes. C. Variable speed limits. D. Vehicle breakdowns. 5. What was AI’s role during the early testing stage? A. A replacement of the previous software. B. A helper providing advice for operators. C. A supporter to maintain the related laws. D. A decision maker on the existing problems. 6. What does the underlined phrase “scratching the surface of” in the last paragraph mean? A. Touching on partly. B. Smoothing out definitely. C. Thinking through clearly. D. Putting the finishing touches to. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. AI is applied to setting variable speed limits on US freeway. B. Drivers are forced to change their driving habit owing to AI. C. Traffic jams will disappear because of speed limits set by AI. D. The current traffic condition on US freeway needs improving. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。 文章介绍了一些国家将人工智能用于高速公路上以便能够变速来进行限制，减少交通堵塞和交通事故。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“One such road is a 27-kilometre section of the I-24 freeway near Nashville, Tennessee, which was experiencing a problem: when there are too many vehicles, traffic jams appear when drivers brake, slowing vehicles to move slowly and risking crashes as fast-moving vehicles come up behind. (其中一条是田纳西州纳什维尔附近的I-24高速公路上一段27公里长的路段，它遇到了一个问题：当车辆太多时，司机刹车会导致交通堵塞，使车辆减速，并有可能因后面快速行驶的车辆而发生撞车事故)”可知这段公路上车辆太多，经常发生撞车事故，故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Originally, the AI was tested with the existing software — not having control over limits, but telling operators what it would have decided — and faced problems that happened at the early stage. (最初，AI是用现有的软件进行测试的——不控制限速，但告诉操作员它会做出什么决定——并面临早期阶段发生的问。)”可知在早期测试阶段，AI不控制限速，但告诉操作员它会做出什么决定，也就是为操作员提供建议，故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“It’s a complete change how these systems operate, which means there are more things remaining to be done. (这完全改变了这些系统的运作方式，这意味着还有更多的事情要做)” 说明这只是全新运行高速公路方式的开始，还有很多事要做，也就是只是触及了表面部分，所以划线短语和A选项“Touching on partly. (只是触及部分)”意思一致，故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Roads with variable (可变的) speed limits, also known as smart motorways, are common in countries including the US, UK and Germany. Usually, rule-based systems monitor the number of vehicles on one of these roads and change speeds accordingly. (可变限速公路，也被称为智能高速公路，在美国、英国和德国等国家很常见。通常，基于规则的系统会监控其中一条道路上的车辆数量，并相应地改变速度)”可知文章介绍了一些国家将人工智能用于高速公路上以便能够变速来进行限制，减少交通堵塞和交通事故。所以A选项“人工智能应用于美国高速公路的变速限制设置”符合文章大意，故选A。 C Cristina Mittermeier, a pioneering (开创性的) photographer, cares about nature and wants to protect it. Her lens (镜头) inspires action and offers hope. Mittermeier’s love for nature began early. This love led her to study marine (海洋的) biology, a field she focused on with the dream of studying whales at first. But soon she saw the damaging effects of industrial fishing, which caused a change in her career (职业). “What I wanted to do was try my best to call on the whole world to understand how easily the oceans can be destroyed.” she explained. Science, while necessary, felt not enough to influence a larger population. Photography became her chosen tool. She has invented her work a form of “visual medicine”, balancing the seriousness of environmental problems with a call to action. Her ideas for helping nature are practical and include listening to what local people know and how they live with the environment. Mittermeier’s latest book Hope shows her efforts in environmental protection. By working with people from all over the world to create the book she turned it into a group effort instead of just her own. The book’s 130 photographs, covering twenty years, are displayed (展示) not by geography or species, but by themes that tell the story of life on our planet. Through her work, Mittermeier continually attaches importance to the role of youth in reshaping the planet’s future, Visual storytelling, she argues, is likely to encourage young people to take action quickly — not through fear but by directing attention to finding means of solving problems and celebrating victories (胜利), however small. Cristina Mittermeier’s life shows the great power of art with a purpose. Her lens catches not just what is but what could be, urging us all to act toward a future where people and nature can live peacefully. 8. What caused a change in Mittermeier’s career? A. Her interest in nature. B. Her love for photography. C. The power of science. D. The alarming scene of industrial fishing. 9. Which of the following can best describe Mittermeier? A. Creative and inspiring B. Curious and independent. C. Hardworking and calm. D. Energetic and humorous. 10. What can we learn about Hope? A. It focuses on present-day photos. B. It talks about the same species. C. It is created through shared efforts. D. It is a story book for children. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Cristina Mittermeier: Photography Inspires Action B. Cristina Mittermeier: Dreams Come True C. Environmental Protection: Ocean Has Artistic Beauty D. Environmental Protection: Measures Come First 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了摄影师克里斯蒂娜·米特梅耶对自然的热爱以及她通过镜头记录自然、呼吁人们保护环境的努力和贡献。她不仅关注环境问题，还通过发明“视觉疗法”、出版书籍以及重视青年人在重塑地球未来中的作用等方式，激励人们采取行动，共同创造一个人与自然和谐共存的未来。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“But soon she saw the damaging effects of industrial fishing, which caused a change in her career.(但很快她就看到了工业化捕鱼的破坏性影响，这导致了她职业生涯的改变)”可知，是工业捕鱼的破坏性影响导致了Mittermeier职业的改变。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Her lens (镜头) inspires action and offers hope.(她的镜头激发了行动，带来了希望。)”可知，Mittermeier的镜头能激发行动并带来希望，这表明她的作品具有启发性和鼓舞人心的特点。以及第三段中“She has invented her work a form of “visual medicine”, balancing the seriousness of environmental problems with a callto action. Her ideas for helping nature are practical and include listening to what local people know and how they live with the environment.(她发明了一种“视觉医学”形式的作品，在环境问题的严重性与呼吁行动之间取得平衡。她帮助自然的想法是实用的，包括倾听当地人的知识以及他们如何与环境共存。)”可知，此处描述了她发明了一种“视觉医学”的工作形式，通过这种形式的作品在环境问题的严重性与呼吁行动之间取得平衡，由此体现了她的创造性。因此，选项A“Creative and inspiring(有创造力和鼓舞人心的)”最能描述Mittermeier。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“By working with people from all over the world to create the book, she turned it into a group effort instead of just her own. (通过与来自世界各地的人合作创作这本书，她把它变成了一个团队的努力，而不仅仅是她自己。)”可知，Mittermeier通过与来自世界各地的人们合作创作《Hope》这本书，将它变成了一项集体努力的结果。因此，我们可以了解到《Hope》是通过共同努力创造出来的。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了摄影师Cristina Mittermeier如何通过她的镜头关注自然、记录环境现状，并通过她的作品激发人们对环境保护的行动和希望。因此，A选项“Cristina Mittermeier: Photography Inspires Action (Cristina Mittermeier：摄影激发行动)”最能概括文章的主旨大意。故选A。 D Each of us individually is the accumulated product of thousands of generations that have come before us in an unbroken line. Our culture and technology today are also the result of thousands of years of accumulated, and remixed cultural knowledge. Cumulative culture allowed human populations to build on and recombine the solutions of prior generations and to develop new complex solutions to problems very quickly, thus helping humans to adapt to a diversity of environments and challenges. However, it is unclear when cumulative culture first developed during ancient human evolution. In order to explore the origin of cumulative culture, Perreault analyzed changes in the complexity of stone tool manufacturing techniques across the past 3.3 million years of the archaeological record. As a baseline for the complexity of stone tool technologies achievable without cumulative culture, Perreault first analyzed technologies used by nonhuman primates, such as chimpanzees (大猩猩). He then analyzed stone tool manufacturing experiments involving inexperienced human flintknapping (燧石加工技术) and randomized flaking (石片打制技术). Perreault assessed the complexity of the stone tool technologies by counting the number of steps (procedural units, or PUs) involved in each tool-making sequence. The results suggested that from around 3.3 to 1.8 million years ago, stone tool-making sequences remained within the baseline range(1 to 6 PUs). From around 1.8 million to 600,000 years ago, making sequences began to overlap with and even slightly exceed the baseline complexity (4 to 7 PUs). However, after around 600,000 years ago, the complexity of making sequences increased rapidly (5 to 18PUs). “From around-600,009 years ago. ancient human populations started relying on unusually complex technologies, and we only see rapid increases in complexity after that time as well,” said Perreault. Tool-assisted food-hunting may have been the motive for the earliest beginning of the evolution of cumulative culture. Early ancient humans,3.4 to 2 million years ago, likely relied on strategies that require tools — like accessing meat, marrow and organs — leading to changes in brain size, lifespan and biology that set the stage for cumulative culture. 12. What does cumulative culture refer to according to the text? A. Emphasizing individual development. B Paying attention to reforming social structure. C. Adapting to a changing living condition step by step. D. Building up technological improvements over generations. 13. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How Perreault conducted the research. B. What the baseline of cumulative culture was. C. How important stone tool technologies were. D. Why Perreault chose chimpanzees for the study. 14. Which of the following is true about what happened around 600,000 years ago? A. The population of the earth increased sharply. B. Tool-making sequences remained unchanged. C. The ancestors began to make stone tools. D. The technology reached a turning point. 15. Why are strategies that require tools mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To indicate the significance of common culture. B. To show the result of human brains’ changes. C. To illustrate the motive of cumulative culture. D. To stress the eating habits of human ancestors. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在人类进化过程中累积文化是何时开始发展起来的研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“Cumulative culture allowed human populations to build on and recombine the solutions of prior generations and to develop new complex solutions to problems very quickly, thus helping humans to adapt to a diversity of environments and challenges.(累积文化允许人类群体在前代的解决方案基础上进行构建和重组，并能够非常快速地发展出解决新问题的复杂方案，因此帮助人类适应各种环境和挑战。)”可知，累积文化指的在前代的解决方案基础上进行构建和重组，是技术改进的世代积累。故选D项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“In order to explore the origin of cumulative culture, Perreault analyzed changes in the complexity of stone tool manufacturing techniques across the past 3.3 million years of the archaeological record. As a baseline for the complexity of stone tool technologies achievable without cumulative culture, Perreault first analyzed technologies used by nonhuman primates, such as chimpanzees(大猩猩). He then analyzed stone tool manufacturing experiments involving inexperienced human flintknapping (燧石加工技术) and randomized flaking(石片打制技术). Perreault assessed the complexity of the stone tool technologies by counting the number of steps (procedural units, or PUs) involved in each tool-making sequence.(为了探索累积文化的起源，Perreault分析了过去330万年考古记录中石器制作技术复杂性的变化。作为无需累积培养即可实现的石器技术复杂性的基线，Perreault首先分析了黑猩猩等非人灵长类动物使用的技术。然后，他分析了涉及缺乏经验的人类燧石加工技术和石片打制技术。通过计算每个工具制造序列中涉及的步骤的数量来评估石器技术的复杂性。)”可知，本段主要介绍了Perreault开展研究的具体方法与策略。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The results suggested that from around 3.3 to 1.8 million years ago, stone tool-making sequences remained within the baseline range(1 to 6 PUs). From around 1.8 million to 600,000 years ago, making sequences began to overlap with and even slightly exceed the baseline complexity (4 to 7 PUs). However, after around 600,000 years ago, the complexity of making sequences increased rapidly (5 to 18PUs).(结果表明，从大约30万到180万年前，石器制造序列保持在极限范围内（1个到6个PUs）。从大约180万年前到60万年前，制作序列开始于基线复杂性重叠（4到7个PUs），甚至略高于基线复杂性。然而，在大约60万年前之后，制作序列的复杂性迅速增加（5到8个PUs）。)”可知，在60万年前这个时间节点后，早期人类工具制作的复杂性开始显著提升，即这是一个转折点。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Tool-assisted food-hunting may have been the motive for the earliest beginning of the evolution of cumulative culture. Early ancient humans,3.4 to 2 million years ago, likely relied on strategies that require tools — like accessing meat, marrow and organs — leading to changes in brain size, lifespan and biology that set the stage for cumulative culture. (工具辅助的觅食狩猎可能是累积文化进化最初开始的动机。340万至200万年前的早期古代人类可能依赖于需要获取肉类、骨髓和器官等工具的策略，从而导致大脑大小、寿命和生物学的变化，为累积培养奠定了基础。)”可知，在最后一段提到工具策略是为了说明累积文化诞生的动机。故选C项。 E Strategic tips on how to get anything you want in life Whether you’re struggling to work or study, being ambitious will work only when you’re fired up, enthusiastic, and ready to take on the world.

One sunny Saturday morning, Emma went to the shelter as usual. She was planning to spend the whole day taking care of the animals there. When she arrived, she found that a new litter of puppies had just been brought in. They were so cute and tiny, but they seemed a bit scared in the new environment. Emma’s heart went out to them immediately. She started by cleaning their cages and giving them fresh food and water. Then she sat down on the floor and gently picked up one of the puppies. The puppy was shaking a little, but as Emma stroked (抚摸) its soft fur and spoke softly to it, it gradually calmed down. While Emma was playing with the puppies, an old man with sad eyes walked into the shelter. He was in rags (衣衫褴褛). He looked around and his eyes stopped on the puppies. Emma noticed him and asked if he was interested in adopting a pet. The old man said he lost his dog a few months ago and had been feeling very lonely ever since. He thought maybe a puppy could bring some joy back into his life. Emma was very excited to hear that. She showed the old man all the puppies. The old man seemed to like a little brown puppy the most. He said this brown puppy looked so much like the dog he had lost several months ago. He kept stroking the puppy, with his eyes full of affection. But when he asked about the adoption (收养) process, he found out that he needed to pay an adoption fee and also provide some proof (证明) of his living conditions. The old man’s face fell. He said he lived a hard life and didn’t have all the necessary papers with him. Emma clearly felt the old man’s disappointment and she was eager to help him. 注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Emma made a call to the manager of the shelter immediately. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few weeks later, Emma received a letter and some pictures of the dog from the old man. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Emma made a call to the manager of the shelter immediately. She explained the situation to him and asked if there was any way they could help the old man adopt the puppy without all the usual requirements. The manager listened carefully and then said he understood how much the old man needed a companion. After a brief discussion, they decided to make an exception for this special case. Emma was thrilled and quickly went to tell the old man the good news. His face lit up with joy and gratitude as he thanked Emma repeatedly. With a spring in his step, he left the shelter, the little brown puppy nestled securely in his arms. A few weeks later, Emma received a letter and some pictures of the dog from the old man. In the letter, he expressed his heartfelt thanks to Emma and the shelter for giving him a new chance at happiness. The pictures showed the old man and the puppy together, enjoying walks in the park, playing in the yard, and snuggling on the couch. The puppy looked healthy and happy, and the old man’s eyes sparkled with joy and contentment. Emma smiled as she read the letter and looked at the pictures, knowing that she had made a real difference in someone’s life. She felt a sense of fulfillment and happiness, knowing that love and compassion could truly make a world of difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了Emma在动物收容所遇到一位失去爱犬、生活困苦却渴望陪伴的老人，Emma积极为老人争取收养小狗的机会，最终使老人重拾快乐的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Emma立刻给收容所的经理打了个电话。”可知，第一段可描写Emma向收容所经理说明情况并成功为老人争取到收养小狗的机会的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“几周后，Emma收到了老人寄来的一封信和几张狗的照片。”可知，第二段可描写Emma收到老人的感谢信和照片，看到老人与小狗幸福生活的场景。 2. 续写线索：说明情况——争取机会——成功收养——感谢信——幸福照片——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①说明情况：explain the situation/clarify the circumstances/state the case ②收养：adopt/take in/foster ③感谢：express gratitude/show appreciation/thank 情绪类 ①激动：thrilled/excited ②幸福：joy and contentment/happiness and satisfaction 【点睛】【高分句型1】She explained the situation to him and asked if there was any way they could help the old man adopt the puppy without all the usual requirements.

A. They are quite expensive. B. They are near Disney World. C. They offer a mini-golf course. D. They have a movie theater. 2. Which of the following would you choose if you want to go to Jurassic Splash Park? A. Lakeway Resort & Spa. B. Westgate Town Center Resort. C. The Grove Resort & Water Park. D. Planet Hollywood Beach Resort. 3. Where can the passage be taken from? A. A geography textbook. B. A science magazine. C. A travel guide. D. A news report. B Roads with variable (可变的) speed limits, also known as smart motorways, are common in countries including the US, UK and Germany. Usually, rule-based systems monitor the number of vehicles on one of these roads and change speeds accordingly. One such road is a 27-kilometre section of the I-24 freeway near Nashville, Tennessee, which was experiencing a problem: when there are too many vehicles, traffic jams appear when drivers brake, slowing vehicles to move slowly and risking crashes as fast-moving vehicles come up behind. To address this, Daniel Work at Vanderbilt University in Nashville and his colleagues trained an AI on historical traffic data to monitor cameras and make decisions on speed limits, deploying (部署) it in the I-24 control room in February. Originally, the AI was tested with the existing software — not having control over limits, but telling operators what it would have decided — and faced problems that happened at the early stage. After some adjustments, the team started a new system in March that has been able to operate independently ever since. The AI works 98 percent of the time, but if it sometimes calls for a change in speed limit that is larger than 10 miles per hour, it would go against federal law. It isn’t clear how drivers have responded to the new system or whether it has improved traffic. Work says that data on the project won’t be open until later this year, as it is still being analyzed, but he is positive about the results. “I think that we’re just scratching the surface of a whole new way to run freeways,” says Work. “It’s a complete change how these systems operate, which means there are more things remaining to be done. Anything that we can do to reduce the number of crashes and deaths happening on that roadway is worth doing. The area needs attention so much, which drove the whole project in the first place: terrible traffic jams, a lot of growth, and a corridor (走廊) that sees a lot of crashes. Sitting by and doing nothing is not good for anybody.” 4. What is the problem with the 27-kilometre section of the I-24 freeway? A. So many vehicles. B. Traffic crashes. C. Variable speed limits. D. Vehicle breakdowns. 5. What was AI’s role during the early testing stage? A. A replacement of the previous software. B. A helper providing advice for operators. C. A supporter to maintain the related laws. D. A decision maker on the existing problems. 6. What does the underlined phrase “scratching the surface of” in the last paragraph mean? A. Touching on partly. B. Smoothing out definitely. C. Thinking through clearly. D. Putting the finishing touches to. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. AI is applied to setting variable speed limits on US freeway. B. Drivers are forced to change their driving habit owing to AI. C. Traffic jams will disappear because of speed limits set by AI. D. The current traffic condition on US freeway needs improving. C Cristina Mittermeier, a pioneering (开创性的) photographer, cares about nature and wants to protect it. Her lens (镜头) inspires action and offers hope. Mittermeier’s love for nature began early. This love led her to study marine (海洋的) biology, a field she focused on with the dream of studying whales at first. But soon she saw the damaging effects of industrial fishing, which caused a change in her career (职业). “What I wanted to do was try my best to call on the whole world to understand how easily the oceans can be destroyed.” she explained. Science, while necessary, felt not enough to influence a larger population. Photography became her chosen tool. She has invented her work a form of “visual medicine”, balancing the seriousness of environmental problems with a call to action. Her ideas for helping nature are practical and include listening to what local people know and how they live with the environment. Mittermeier’s latest book Hope shows her efforts in environmental protection. By working with people from all over the world to create the book, she turned it into a group effort instead of just her own. The book’s 130 photographs, covering twenty years, are displayed (展示) not by geography or species, but by themes that tell the story of life on our planet. Through her work, Mittermeier continually attaches importance to the role of youth in reshaping the planet’s future, Visual storytelling, she argues, is likely to encourage young people to take action quickly — not through fear but by directing attention to finding means of solving problems and celebrating victories (胜利), however small. Cristina Mittermeier’s life shows the great power of art with a purpose. Her lens catches not just what is but what could be, urging us all to act toward a future where people and nature can live peacefully. 8. What caused a change in Mittermeier’s career? A. Her interest in nature. B. Her love for photography. C. The power of science. D. The alarming scene of industrial fishing. 9. Which of the following can best describe Mittermeier? A. Creative and inspiring B. Curious and independent. C. Hardworking and calm. D. Energetic and humorous. 10. What can we learn about Hope? A. It focuses on present-day photos. B. It talks about the same species. C. It is created through shared efforts. D. It is a story book for children. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Cristina Mittermeier: Photography Inspires Action B Cristina Mittermeier: Dreams Come True C. Environmental Protection: Ocean Has Artistic Beauty D. Environmental Protection: Measures Come First D Each of us individually is the accumulated product of thousands of generations that have come before us in an unbroken line. Our culture and technology today are also the result of thousands of years of accumulated, and remixed cultural knowledge. Cumulative culture allowed human populations to build on and recombine the solutions of prior generations and to develop new complex solutions to problems very quickly, thus helping humans to adapt to a diversity of environments and challenges. However, it is unclear when cumulative culture first developed during ancient human evolution. In order to explore the origin of cumulative culture, Perreault analyzed changes in the complexity of stone tool manufacturing techniques across the past 3.3 million years of the archaeological record. As a baseline for the complexity of stone tool technologies achievable without cumulative culture, Perreault first analyzed technologies used by nonhuman primates, such as chimpanzees (大猩猩). He then analyzed stone tool manufacturing experiments involving inexperienced human flintknapping (燧石加工技术) and randomized flaking (石片打制技术). Perreault assessed the complexity of the stone tool technologies by counting the number of steps (procedural units, or PUs) involved in each tool-making sequence. The results suggested that from around 3.3 to 1.8 million years ago, stone tool-making sequences remained within the baseline range(1 to 6 PUs). From around 1.8 million to 600,000 years ago, making sequences began to overlap with and even slightly exceed the baseline complexity (4 to 7 PUs). However, after around 600,000 years ago, the complexity of making sequences increased rapidly (5 to 18PUs). “From around-600,009 years ago. ancient human populations started relying on unusually complex technologies, and we only see rapid increases in complexity after that time as well,” said Perreault. Tool-assisted food-hunting may have been the motive for the earliest beginning of the evolution of cumulative culture. Early ancient humans,3.4 to 2 million years ago, likely relied on strategies that require tools — like accessing meat, marrow and organs — leading to changes in brain size, lifespan and biology that set the stage for cumulative culture. 12.

One sunny Saturday morning, Emma went to the shelter as usual. She was planning to spend the whole day taking care of the animals there. When she arrived, she found that a new litter of puppies had just been brought in. They were so cute and tiny, but they seemed a bit scared in the new environment. Emma’s heart went out to them immediately. She started by cleaning their cages and giving them fresh food and water. Then she sat down on the floor and gently picked up one of the puppies. The puppy was shaking a little, but as Emma stroked (抚摸) its soft fur and spoke softly to it, it gradually calmed down. While Emma was playing with the puppies, an old man with sad eyes walked into the shelter. He was in rags (衣衫褴褛). He looked around and his eyes stopped on the puppies. Emma noticed him and asked if he was interested in adopting a pet. The old man said he lost his dog a few months ago and had been feeling very lonely ever since. He thought maybe a puppy could bring some joy back into his life. Emma was very excited to hear that. She showed the old man all the puppies. The old man seemed to like a little brown puppy the most. He said this brown puppy looked so much like the dog he had lost several months ago. He kept stroking the puppy, with his eyes full of affection. But when he asked about the adoption (收养) process, he found out that he needed to pay an adoption fee and also provide some proof (证明) of his living conditions. The old man’s face fell. He said he lived a hard life and didn’t have all the necessary papers with him. Emma clearly felt the old man’s disappointment and she was eager to help him. 注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Emma made a call to the manager of the shelter immediately. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few weeks later, Emma received a letter and some pictures of the dog from the old man. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
