Centuries ago, the music of the Híłzaqv language echoed across a territory of rough islands, windswept beaches and thick forests. And then, the lands now in the western reaches of Canada fell quiet. Wars with neighbouring nations and disease brought the language to the edge of extinction. Today, only seventy fluent speakers remain. In some remote communities, where they don’t have high schools, students are moved hundreds of kilometres away to larger cities to complete their studies, away from their families and their land. And so the loss continues on there.
Mamakwa is a Híłzaqv, who was punished for speaking his mother tongue in school. Last year, he became the first provincial lawmaker to give a speech in Toronto legislature (议会). More than 1000 guests attended. “For community leaders who were there, it was very emotional for them. They had tears in their eyes — not because of what I said but because they were hearing their language in a place where it was never supposed to be spoken,” he said. Mamakwa is now focusing his attention on the remaining systems that reduce the ability to speak the first languages of the land.
Recently, there is a cheerful sense of hope. Community efforts have taken on a renewed intensity. New resources have been poured into preservation and education, including compiling (汇编) vast information from the current fluent speakers. Therefore, Híłzaqv culture is being normalized for kids in a much deeper way now than it ever was before.
“You never want to lose the body of knowledge and language that you had as a people. But our language is also growing. There are words emerging and concepts emerging that are being included in our language to reflect the new reality we live in, and the new way that we live and work and be together. That’s a good thing,” said Mamakwa.
4. What causes the collapsing Híłzaqv language in some communities today?
A. The poor educational quality. B. The enclosed geographic location.
C. The wars and natural disaster risks. D. The removal of children from their families.
5. What moved the community leaders in the Toronto legislature?
A. Mamakwa was well treated at school. B. They heard their language spoken there.
C. They were invited to the high-grade conference. D. Mamakwa became the first provincial lawmaker.
6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Efforts of current fluent speakers. B. Positive changes to the Híłzaqv culture.
C. Cultural influences on kids’ growth. D. Development of the Híłzaqv language.
7. Which of the following might Mamakwa agree with?
A. Language should be dynamic. B. Language must be standardized.
C. Language is vital to national identity. D. Language bridges the gap between people.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了加拿大Híłzaqv语言濒临灭绝的现状,以及人们为保护该语言所做的努力和语言的发展情况。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In some remote communities, where they don’t have high schools, students are moved hundreds of kilometres away to larger cities to complete their studies, away from their families and their land. And so the loss continues on there.(在一些偏远社区,那里没有高中,学生们被转移到数百公里外的大城市完成学业,远离他们的家人和土地。所以语言的消失在那里仍在继续)”可知,孩子们离开家人和土地去大城市上学,导致了一些社区中Híłzaqv语言的逐渐消失。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的““For community leaders who were there, it was very emotional for them. They had tears in their eyes — not because of what I said but because they were hearing their language in a place where it was never supposed to be spoken,” he said.(他说:“对于在场的社区领袖来说,这让他们非常感动。他们眼中含泪 —— 不是因为我说的话,而是因为他们在一个本不该说这种语言的地方听到了自己的语言。”)”可知,社区领袖们感动是因为在多伦多议会听到了他们自己的语言。故选B项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Recently, there is a cheerful sense of hope. Community efforts have taken on a renewed intensity. New resources have been poured into preservation and education, including compiling (汇编) vast information from the current fluent speakers. Therefore, Híłzaqv culture is being normalized for kids in a much deeper way now than it ever was before.(最近,出现了一种令人愉快的希望感。社区的努力有了新的力度。新的资源已经投入到保护和教育中,包括从目前的流利使用者那里汇编大量信息。因此,Híłzaqv 文化现在正以比以往任何时候都更深入的方式让孩子们正常接触)”可知,第三段主要讲了社区为保护Híłzaqv文化所做的努力以及Híłzaqv文化正在向好的方向变化。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““You never want to lose the body of knowledge and language that you had as a people. But our language is also growing. There are words emerging and concepts emerging that are being included in our language to reflect the new reality we live in, and the new way that we live and work and be together. That’s a good thing,” said Mamakwa.(Mamakwa说:“你永远不想失去作为一个民族所拥有的知识体系和语言。但我们的语言也在发展。有新的词汇和概念不断出现,并被纳入我们的语言中,以反映我们生活的新现实,以及我们生活、工作和相处的新方式。这是一件好事。”)”可推知,Mamakwa认为语言应该随着生活现实的变化而发展,是动态的。故选A项。

On the surface, it may not appear that Dr. Dolittle and artificial intelligence (AI) have much in common. One belongs in 1900s children’s literature, while the other is firmly rooted in the 21st century. One is a physician turned vet (兽医) who can talk to animals, and the other a computerized technology that cannot. But the dream of speaking with animals may not be so fantastical anymore.
AI has already given us the ability to bark instructions at robots—could its potential be extended to the animal kingdom? Could it help us understand the natural world and maybe one day allow us to “talk” to animals?
The first difficulty in “translating” animal communication is understanding what that communication looks like. Human language is made up of verbal (口头的) and non-verbal cues, and animal communication is no different. Dogs wag their tails, for example, to convey a range of emotions. However, there is some debate as to whether this can be considered a “language”. According to Dr. Herzing, Research Director, Wild Dolphin Project, AI could help put it to bed.
“We currently don’t know if animals have a language,” Herzing said. “But AI can help us look for language-like structures which might suggest animals have parts of a language.”
Scientists have been collecting sounds, calls and various animal vocalizations (发声) for decades. Research has shown that animal vocalizations carry many types of information from their identity to external objects. The hope is that AI models being developed can work like what ChatGPT does for human input, and turn those vocalizations into something more recognizable to humans.
With a better understanding of the animals around us, can we still justify practices that slaughter (屠宰) them? This could have far-reaching influences, including for the treatment of animals in entertainment, research and agriculture. From a human perspective, there is also a lot we could learn, not just about ourselves but about animals and, maybe, other life forms.
8. Why does the author mention Dr. Dolittle in paragraph 1?
A. To present a classic figure. B. To highlight literary-real gap.
C. To inspire animal talk fantasy. D. To indicate tech realizes fairytale.
9. What does “put it to bed” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Solve the problem. B. Suspend the research.
C. Continue the discussion. D. Reconsider the definition.
10. What are AI models expected to do?
A. Interpret human language patterns.
B. Assess the general state of animals.
C. Make animal voices understandable.
D. Record major events in the natural world.
11. What will a better understanding of the animals lead to?
A. A new life form exploration. B. The better animal welfare.
C. A deeper reflection on humans. D. The advanced slaughter technology.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了人工智能(AI)在与动物 “交流” 方面的可能性及相关研究,探讨了 AI 在理解动物语言和行为上的作用以及对动物保护的潜在影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“One is a physician turned vet (兽医) who can talk to animals, and the other a computerized technology that cannot. But the dream of speaking with animals may not be so fantastical anymore.(一个是能和动物交谈的从医生转行的兽医,另一个是不能和动物交谈的计算机技术。但与动物交谈的梦想可能不再那么荒诞了)” 和上文内容可推知,作者提到Dolittle医生是为了表明科技可以实现童话中的幻想。故选D。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段““We currently don’t know if animals have a language,” Herzing said. “But AI can help us look for language-like structures which might suggest animals have parts of a language.(“我们目前不知道动物是否有语言,” Herzing说。“但人工智能可以帮助我们寻找类似语言的结构,这可能表明动物有部分语言能力”)” 可知,人工智能可以帮助解决动物是否有语言这一问题。所以put it to bed在此处的意思是解决问题。与A 选项 Solve the problem.(解决问题。) 同义,故选 A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The hope is that AI models being developed can work like what ChatGPT does for human input, and turn those vocalizations into something more recognizable to humans.(希望正在开发的人工智能模型能像 ChatGPT 对人类输入的处理那样,将动物的发声转化为人类更容易识别的东西)” 可知,人工智能模型有望使动物的声音能被人类理解。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段 “With a better understanding of the animals around us, can we still justify practices that slaughter (屠宰) them? This could have far-reaching influences, including for the treatment of animals in entertainment, research and agriculture.(随着对周围动物有了更好的了解,我们还能为屠宰它们的行为辩护吗?这可能会产生深远的影响,包括对娱乐、研究和农业中动物的待遇)” 可推知,对动物更好的理解会带来更好的动物福利。故选B。
D
Regenerative (再生的) design is not a new idea, but it has remained a less common approach compared to the wide spread of sustainable development. Found in many cultures, the modern concept of regenerative design is gaining attention. It offers a way to move from net-zero to net-positive urban growth, where cities actively restore and enhance the environment.
The “do no ham” approach is no longer enough and hasn’t been for some time. What’s more, the ongoing decline of the environment is compounded by multiple crises: widening inequality, social isolation, community displacements, to name a few. We are in the midst of a multi-crisis that requires a powerful systems approach to locally driven regenerative urbanism.
A typical example of regenerative urbanism in action can be seen in Calgary, the largest city in Alberta, Canada. Our work there focused on the University District, a former thinly populated area located on the edge of the University of Calgary campus. Through a comprehensive master planning process, this area was transformed into a diverse and walking-friendly community — the first plan of its scale to achieve LEED-ND Platinum certification in Canada, an influential award for sustainable urban design. Notably, the University District development stopped decades of spread of suburban, creating a new “heart” in the city’s northwest area. It also gathered enough people to support public transport, cultural facilities, and local economic growth.
The multi-crises we face in the 21st century are strikingly similar to the challenges that historical figures once tackled. For instance, during the cholera outbreaks in London between 1846 and 1860, British physician John Snow mapped out the city’s infrastructure (基础设施) and studied its impact on public health. His groundbreaking work led to the establishment of a new model in urban planning.
Learning from history, it’s evident that comprehensive approaches are crucial for addressing rapid urbanization, ecological issues, and social inequality. Regenerative urbanism focuses on the long-term health of ecosystems and communities, promoting resilient (有复原力的) and sustainable cities for future generations.
12. How does regenerative design differ from the sustainable development?
A. It strictly follows traditional cultural concepts.
B. It relies on simple solutions to complex crises.
C. It aims at net-positive urban environmental growth.
D. It focuses mainly on long-term ecological balance.
13. What is the significance of the University District project in Calgary?
A. It marks a failure in sustainable urban design.
B It shows the limitation of regenerative urbanism.
C. It indicates the necessity of suburban expansion.
D. It proves the practical value of regenerative design.
14. What can we learn from John Snow’s case in London?
A. His research had much influence on social equality.
B. Modern multi-crises are simpler than past problems.
C. Historical crises may result in urban planning innovations.
D. Cholera outbreaks had been controlled in the 19th century.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The Essence of “Do No Harm” Approach.
B. The Advantages of Sustainable Development.
C. The Historical Roots of Regenerative Urbanism.
D. The Solution of Regenerative Urbanism to Crises.

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A typical example of regenerative urbanism in action can be seen in Calgary, the largest city in Alberta, Canada. Our work there focused on the University District, a former thinly populated area located on the edge of the University of Calgary campus.

A Life-Saving Hero
My wife’s job took her out of town a lot and I needed some company. So one day, I went to the local animal-rescue center. The little cocker spaniel (可卡猎犬) trembling in a cage caught my eye right away. She had scared eyes and I could tell she longed to be picked up and hugged. I gently petted her soft fur, and to my surprise, she stopped shaking. That was that. I filled out the paperwork and took my new dog — Honey home.
I’d had her only a couple of weeks, but Honey and I quickly became close friends. She followed me like a shadow from the very first day. She loved sitting on my lap. We often went to the backyard, where I picked up a ball and threw it. I sat down to watch Honey race after the ball. We had great fun together.
That October morning last year I decided to take Honey with me while I ran some errands (差事). She jumped in and settled down on the passenger seat. I got behind the wheel and started the car. We lived in a remote area up in the hills outside San Rafael, surrounded by tall redwoods. We had to drive up the mountain at a low speed to get to our driveway, which was barely wide enough for one car and ended at a steep cliff.
I turned around and backed up slowly. Just then, a flash of sunlight blinded me. I put my hand up to protect my eyes. Suddenly, the car slipped in the soft soil and rolled down the valley. I heard a horrible crash. A giant branch plunged (扎进) through the roof and hit my leg. We landed upside down. I was stuck. I looked over to find Honey. She was still in the passenger seat. She seemed scared but was not hurt.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

I knew I had to do something to save us.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I watched Honey fade out of my view, my thoughts started to wander off.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I knew I had to do something to save us. Blood was running down my leg from the branch that had pierced the roof. Pain shot through my body, but I couldn’t give up. I tried to move, but my leg was trapped. Honey barked loudly, her eyes full of fear and concern. She jumped out of the seat and started licking my face, as if trying to keep me awake. Then, she ran out through a broken window and disappeared into the woods. I didn’t know where she was going, but I prayed she would find help.
As I watched Honey fade out of my view, my thoughts started to wander off. I felt weaker and colder by the minute. I thought about how she had come into my life when I needed a friend most. Now she was risking her life for mine. Hours passed, or maybe it was only minutes — I couldn’t tell. Then, in the distance, I heard voices and footsteps rushing toward me. It was Honey, leading rescuers through the thick forest. I smiled weakly, knowing my brave girl had saved me.

Centuries ago, the music of the Híłzaqv language echoed across a territory of rough islands, windswept beaches and thick forests. And then, the lands now in the western reaches of Canada fell quiet. Wars with neighbouring nations and disease brought the language to the edge of extinction. Today, only seventy fluent speakers remain. In some remote communities, where they don’t have high schools, students are moved hundreds of kilometres away to larger cities to complete their studies, away from their families and their land. And so the loss continues on there.
Mamakwa is a Híłzaqv, who was punished for speaking his mother tongue in school. Last year, he became the first provincial lawmaker to give a speech in Toronto legislature (议会). More than 1000 guests attended. “For community leaders who were there, it was very emotional for them. They had tears in their eyes — not because of what I said but because they were hearing their language in a place where it was never supposed to be spoken,” he said. Mamakwa is now focusing his attention on the remaining systems that reduce the ability to speak the first languages of the land.
Recently, there is a cheerful sense of hope. Community efforts have taken on a renewed intensity. New resources have been poured into preservation and education, including compiling (汇编) vast information from the current fluent speakers. Therefore, Híłzaqv culture is being normalized for kids in a much deeper way now than it ever was before.
“You never want to lose the body of knowledge and language that you had as a people. But our language is also growing. There are words emerging and concepts emerging that are being included in our language to reflect the new reality we live in, and the new way that we live and work and be together. That’s a good thing,” said Mamakwa.
4. What causes the collapsing Híłzaqv language in some communities today?
A. The poor educational quality. B. The enclosed geographic location.
C. The wars and natural disaster risks. D. The removal of children from their families.
5. What moved the community leaders in the Toronto legislature?
A. Mamakwa was well treated at school. B. They heard their language spoken there.
C. They were invited to the high-grade conference. D. Mamakwa became the first provincial lawmaker.
6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Efforts of current fluent speakers. B. Positive changes to the Híłzaqv culture.
C. Cultural influences on kids’ growth. D. Development of the Híłzaqv language.
7. Which of the following might Mamakwa agree with?
A. Language should be dynamic. B. Language must be standardized.
C. Language is vital to national identity. D. Language bridges the gap between people.
C
On the surface it may not appear that Dr. Dolittle and artificial intelligence (AI) have much in common. One belongs in 1900s children’s literature, while the other is firmly rooted in the 21st century. One is a physician turned vet (兽医) who can talk to animals, and the other a computerized technology that cannot. But the dream of speaking with animals may not be so fantastical anymore.
AI has already given us the ability to bark instructions at robots—could its potential be extended to the animal kingdom? Could it help us understand the natural world and maybe one day allow us to “talk” to animals?
The first difficulty in “translating” animal communication is understanding what that communication looks like. Human language is made up of verbal (口头的) and non-verbal cues, and animal communication is no different. Dogs wag their tails, for example, to convey a range of emotions. However, there is some debate as to whether this can be considered a “language”. According to Dr. Herzing, Research Director, Wild Dolphin Project, AI could help put it to bed.
“We currently don’t know if animals have a language,” Herzing said. “But AI can help us look for language-like structures which might suggest animals have parts of a language.”
Scientists have been collecting sounds, calls and various animal vocalizations (发声) for decades. Research has shown that animal vocalizations carry many types of information from their identity to external objects. The hope is that AI models being developed can work like what ChatGPT does for human input, and turn those vocalizations into something more recognizable to humans.
With a better understanding of the animals around us, can we still justify practices that slaughter (屠宰) them? This could have far-reaching influences, including for the treatment of animals in entertainment, research and agriculture. From a human perspective, there is also a lot we could learn, not just about ourselves but about animals and, maybe, other life forms.
8. Why does the author mention Dr. Dolittle in paragraph 1?
A. To present a classic figure. B. To highlight literary-real gap.
C. To inspire animal talk fantasy. D. To indicate tech realizes fairytale.
9. What does “put it to bed” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Solve the problem. B. Suspend the research.
C. Continue the discussion. D. Reconsider the definition.
10. What are AI models expected to do?
A. Interpret human language patterns.
B. Assess the general state of animals.
C. Make animal voices understandable.
D. Record major events in the natural world.
11. What will a better understanding of the animals lead to?
A. A new life form exploration. B. The better animal welfare.
C. A deeper reflection on humans. D. The advanced slaughter technology.
D
Regenerative (再生的) design is not a new idea, but it has remained a less common approach compared to the wide spread of sustainable development. Found in many cultures, the modern concept of regenerative design is gaining attention. It offers a way to move from net-zero to net-positive urban growth, where cities actively restore and enhance the environment.
The “do no ham” approach is no longer enough and hasn’t been for some time. What’s more, the ongoing decline of the environment is compounded by multiple crises: widening inequality, social isolation, community displacements, to name a few. We are in the midst of a multi-crisis that requires a powerful systems approach to locally driven regenerative urbanism.
A typical example of regenerative urbanism in action can be seen in Calgary, the largest city in Alberta, Canada. Our work there focused on the University District, a former thinly populated area located on the edge of the University of Calgary campus. Through a comprehensive master planning process, this area was transformed into a diverse and walking-friendly community — the first plan of its scale to achieve LEED-ND Platinum certification in Canada, an influential award for sustainable urban design. Notably, the University District development stopped decades of spread of suburban, creating a new “heart” in the city’s northwest area. It also gathered enough people to support public transport, cultural facilities, and local economic growth.
The multi-crises we face in the 21st century are strikingly similar to the challenges that historical figures once tackled. For instance, during the cholera outbreaks in London between 1846 and 1860, British physician John Snow mapped out the city’s infrastructure (基础设施) and studied its impact on public health. His groundbreaking work led to the establishment of a new model in urban planning.
Learning from history, it’s evident that comprehensive approaches are crucial for addressing rapid urbanization, ecological issues, and social inequality. Regenerative urbanism focuses on the long-term health of ecosystems and communities, promoting resilient (有复原力的) and sustainable cities for future generations.
12. How does regenerative design differ from the sustainable development?
A. It strictly follows traditional cultural concepts.
B. It relies on simple solutions to complex crises.
C It aims at net-positive urban environmental growth.

14. What can we learn from John Snow’s case in London?
A. His research had much influence on social equality.
B. Modern multi-crises are simpler than past problems.
C. Historical crises may result in urban planning innovations.
D. Cholera outbreaks had been controlled in the 19th century.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The Essence of “Do No Harm” Approach.
B. The Advantages of Sustainable Development.
C. The Historical Roots of Regenerative Urbanism.

A Life-Saving Hero
My wife’s job took her out of town a lot and I needed some company. So one day, I went to the local animal-rescue center. The little cocker spaniel (可卡猎犬) trembling in a cage caught my eye right away. She had scared eyes and I could tell she longed to be picked up and hugged. I gently petted her soft fur, and to my surprise, she stopped shaking. That was that. I filled out the paperwork and took my new dog — Honey home.
I’d had her only a couple of weeks, but Honey and I quickly became close friends. She followed me like a shadow from the very first day. She loved sitting on my lap. We often went to the backyard, where I picked up a ball and threw it. I sat down to watch Honey race after the ball. We had great fun together.
That October morning last year I decided to take Honey with me while I ran some errands (差事). She jumped in and settled down on the passenger seat. I got behind the wheel and started the car. We lived in a remote area up in the hills outside San Rafael, surrounded by tall redwoods. We had to drive up the mountain at a low speed to get to our driveway, which was barely wide enough for one car and ended at a steep cliff.
I turned around and backed up slowly. Just then, a flash of sunlight blinded me. I put my hand up to protect my eyes. Suddenly, the car slipped in the soft soil and rolled down the valley. I heard a horrible crash. A giant branch plunged (扎进) through the roof and hit my leg. We landed upside down. I was stuck. I looked over to find Honey. She was still in the passenger seat. She seemed scared but was not hurt.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

I knew I had to do something to save us.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I watched Honey fade out of my view, my thoughts started to wander off.
