A
(2024·全国甲)
Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways.For instance,almost all animals have distinct vocals(声音) that they rely on to either ask for help,scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter.But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills.They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you’re able to interpret it.If a pet cat is hungry,it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food.However,when a cat is looking for affection,they tend to produce stretched and soft meows.Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother’s attention and be fed.
Cats have many heightened senses,but their sense of smell is quite impressive.They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger.They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax.However,another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells.Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future.That’s why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats,which they don’t usually like.
Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit,but cats take this behavior up a notch.Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners.This is a very old habit that’s been present in all kinds of predators(食肉动物).Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you.These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it’s been in their nature since the beginning of time.So just go along with it!
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了猫通过叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物来表达需求、评估环境和展示爱意。
1.What can be learned about cats’ meowing from the first paragraph?
A.It’s a survival skill. B.It’s taught by mother cats.
C.It’s hard to interpret. D.It’s getting louder with age.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段倒数第二、三句可知,宠物猫通过叫声吸引注意力、获取食物和寻求关爱;最后一句指出猫从一出生就用叫声吸引猫妈妈的注意,并得到食物。综上可知,猫叫声是一种生存技能。故选A。
2.How does a pet cat assess different situations?
A.By listening for sounds. B.By touching familiar objects.
C.By checking on smells. D.By communicating with other cats.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger.”可知,宠物猫通过检查气味来评估不同情况。故选C。
3.Which best explains the phrase “take...up notch” in paragraph 3?
A.Perform appropriately. B.Move faster.
C.Act strangely. D.Do better.
答案 D
解析 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit...”可知,狗经常从外面带回来物品,画线部分所在句的下文提到猫会给它们的主人带回礼物来表达它们对主人的爱,这是它们与生俱来的本能,由此可知,在从外面带回物品这方面,猫将这一行为提到了一个更高的层次。do better与画线部分意思最接近。故选D。
4.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Tips on Finding a Smart Cat B.Understanding Your Cat’s Behavior
C.Have Fun with Your Cat D.How to Keep Your Cat Healthy

Shawn Triplett knew there was a desperate need to help the children of Mayfield,Kentucky,after a deadly storm struck the town.
Mayfield was one of the towns hardest hit after a line of storms crossed the central US on Friday night and Saturday morning.Triplett—a Mayfield resident and a former soldier—was in Chicago that Friday night.Alarmed by the weather reports,his wife and two young children went to stay in a hotel of the nearby town,Paducah,without suffering the storms and ultimately out of the path of the tornadoes.
Able to return home the next morning,Triplett was shocked by how the town was destroyed and wanted to help however he could.He arrived at the volunteer center,where he was asked to guide a photo-journalist through streets filled with remains.That night,the two returned to shelters where they saw many suffered families including one woman comforting her son over their lost Christmas.
“It was very heartbreaking,too much for me to handle,” he said.Therefore,he decided that more needed to be done for the children affected by the storm.Noticing that supplies available were essentials such as generators(发电机) and bottled water,he turned to his friends on social media for donations so that he could go to the store and purchase toys and gifts for the kids.Around $2,000 were raised,and the store gave Triplett a discount upon learning of his efforts.As word spread on websites,more donations poured in.He was able to return the following day and another $6,000 was spent on toys and board games,he said.Forty pairs of shoes were also picked up at a local Shoe Sensation.Triplett and other volunteers wrapped and distributed the toys for any child or family in need.He credited the kindness of everyone who tried to help and get families back on their feet right before the holidays.

Ⅳ.七选五(每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
How to Ease AI Anxiety
Rapid advances in generative artificial intelligence(AI) have brought big challenges and it’s logical for humans to feel anxious about it. 1 The following can prove it and ease your anxiety.
Remember context is key.
Keeping in mind that the present moment is far from the first time people have feared the rise of an unfamiliar technology.“Computer anxiety” and “technostress” date back decades.Before that,there was uncontrollable worry over industrial automation. 2 But many of the worst sci-fi predictions did not come true.
Address the problem together.
Rather than sticking your head in the sand,gain new skills to prepare for a career change or learn about ongoing efforts to regulate AI.Meanwhile,confronting anxiety over AI might begin with coming up with collective solutions and finding community. 3
Switch your attention.
Another way to feel better about AI is to avoid too much attention to it. 4 Taking breaks from technology to reconnect with nature or loved ones in the physical world is critical for mental health.Stepping away from tech can also provide a reminder of all the ways that humans are distinct from AI.
5
The current technology is not truly producing new things but rather imitating or following what people can do.AI may be able to answer questions and solve problems,but it lacks the power to convey emotions,empathy and create original content.Therefore,unbiased judgment and certainty about your own skills can help with uneasiness.
A.Focus on what you can control.
B.Remind yourself of its limitations.
C.More attention should be attached to AI.
D.Getting involved in it is crucial to seeking security.
E.There is more to life than just programs and screens.
F.But humans aren’t yet headed for a complete replacement.
G.Past advances did lead to big social and economic changes.
