With over 40 years of experience, he taps the overgrown ground with a wooden stick, warning wild animals for safety. He lives in Shixia village near the 8.6-kilometer part. Shixia villagers have a deep love for the wall. Mei remembers when he ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on the large building as a child. However in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian, patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter. In 1984, a Great Wall protection program started, with Mei’s effort encouraging many, and it was quickly picked up by villagers in Shixia. Realizing the importance of protection, more and more of them returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. His niece, Liu Hongyan, encouraged by him, also became a guardian in 2019. “When I was a child, my uncle always told me his patrol stories and the history of the Great Wall,” Liu says. “It is my duty and responsibility to protect the Great Wall.” Mei’s hard work has made a difference. From 2015 to 2023, 289 protection projects were allowed and thousands of guardians joined. Even though there is progress, the Shixiaguan part still remains closed to the public. “My biggest wish,” Mei says, “is to see the Great Wall well-protected and open for all to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting it.” 4. What made Mei Jingtian decide to protect the Great Wall? A. His dream of being a hero. B. Terrible damage caused by tourists. C. Poor condition of the Great Wall. D. Encouragement from other villagers. 5. What do the underlined words “picked up” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Recognised. B. Finished. C. Managed. D. Developed. 6.

What does Mei expect of the Shixiaguan part of the wall? A. The success of their projects can involve more people. B. Their protection projects will promote the local tourism. C. Their hard work can make a difference for historical research. D. The experience of their projects will benefit others a lot. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了梅景田保护长城的事迹与愿望。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian, patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter. (然而，1979年，当他在外面工作多年后回到石峡时，他被老城墙的可怕状况震惊了。梅说：“一些村民甚至用石头盖房子。”为了保护这一奇迹，梅自愿成为一名守护者，每天巡逻20公里，防止人们拿石头、在墙上写字或乱扔垃圾。)”可知，残破的长城使梅景田决定保护长城。故选C项。 5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Realizing the importance of protection, more and more of them returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. (意识到保护的重要性，越来越多的人归还了他们带走的石头，加入了梅的巡逻。)”可知，当地村民意识到要保护长城，开始着手进行保护计划。由此可知，梅景田的长城保护计划得到了这里的村民的认可，picked up意思是“认可”，与Recognised“认可，承认”一致。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Even at 80, Mei Jingtian still patrols (巡逻) the Shixiaguan part of the Great Wall. (即使在80岁的时候，梅景田仍然在石峡关长城巡逻。)”、第二段中“To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian, patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter. (为了保护这一奇迹，梅自愿成为一名守护者，每天巡逻20公里，防止人们拿石头、在墙上写字或乱扔垃圾。)”和第三段中“In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. (2006年，作为村长，梅成立了一个志愿者保护组织，100名村民中约有80人作为守护人加入。)”可知，梅景田志愿做长城的守护者，每天巡逻，防止长城被破坏，成立志愿者保护组织，80岁还在坚守这一使命。这些展现了他的责任感和坚强意志。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中““My biggest wish,” Mei says, “is to see the Great Wall well-protected and open for all to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting it.” (“我最大的愿望，” 梅说，“就是看到长城得到妥善保护，并且能向所有人开放参观，从而鼓励更多人加入我们保护长城的行列。”)”可知，梅景田对石峡关部分长城的期望是希望他们的项目成功可以吸引更多人参与。故选A。 C Have you ever bought anything useful for the useless product you bought earlier? This cycle just goes on and on, and you will end up with tons of useless things. This is an interesting phenomenon we call The Birdcage Effect. You don’t feel like having a pet animal. One day, your friend sends you a birdcage as your birthday present and you put it on the table. Then multiple people pass by asking you where the pet bird is. After you answer no, people suggest you get one for the birdcage. Finally, you buy one bird, then bird treats, toys, and even clothes. You keep adding more articles to the bird’s bill. Is there anything wrong? As the name suggests, The Birdcage Effect controls people’s ability to think from the outside of a birdcage. You buy a pet bird — which you never thought about having — because of a birdcage. This effect is mainly caused by you voluntarily assuming that the birdcage is part of your table; it acts as one of the conditions instead of a variable — which it is supposed to be. Therefore, you will end up spending the necessary money on something unnecessary. For example, buy 1 get 1 free—the discount cages you so that you are getting something else that is unneeded. Now, it comes to how to avoid The Birdcage Effect. First, we need to be result-driven: when dealing with a birdcage, telling yourself to consider the result before stepping on the path is a wise approach. Moreover, it’s important to remember that less is typically better than more. When you are given a “birdcage”, throwing away the birdcage may seem ignorant and wasteful; however, it will stop you from getting a bird. The Birdcage Effect is difficult to get rid of. However, it can be prevented if we properly control our unreasonable needs. Do not let an object direct your action, but let your logical mind guide your decision. 8. Which is The Birdcage Effect according to the passage? A. Buying pretty clothes for your lovely cat. B. Buying books for an unwanted shelf. C. Getting a birdcage for your pet bird. D. Behaving better on others’ advice. 9. How does The Birdcage Effect influence us? A. It helps us save money by buying discounted goods. B. It encourages us to consider the birdcage as a condition. C. It limits our ability to understand outside the box. D. It leads us to buy something necessary. 10. What can we do to avoid The Birdcage Effect? A. Allow an object to help make our choices. B. Avoid receiving gifts to prevent waste. C. Buy things both cheap and practical. D. Free ourselves from ill-suited goods. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Are You Trapped in a Birdcage? B. The Birdcage Effect: a Way to Keep Pet Birds. C. The Birdcage Effect: a New Trend in Shopping. D. Are You Having Trouble Choosing Gifts for Friends? 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了“鸟笼效应”这一现象，解释了其产生的原因，并提供了避免这一效应的建议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“You don’t feel like having a pet animal. One day, your friend sends you a birdcage as your birthday present and you put it on the table. Then multiple people pass by asking you where the pet bird is. After you answer no, people suggest you get one for the birdcage. Finally, you buy one bird, then bird treats, toys, and even clothes.(你不想养宠物。有一天，你的朋友送你一个鸟笼作为生日礼物，你把它放在桌子上。然后很多人路过，问你宠物鸟在哪里。当你回答没有后，人们建议你为鸟笼买一只鸟。最后，你买了一只鸟，然后是鸟食、玩具，甚至衣服。)”可知，鸟笼效应指的是一个人原本不想要某个东西，但因为收到了与之相关的礼物或物品，而逐渐产生购买相关物品的行为。选项B“为不想要的架子买书”与此类似，即原本不想要书架，但因为有了书架，所以开始买书，这是“鸟笼效应”的一个例子。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As the name suggests, The Birdcage Effect controls people’s ability to think from the outside of a birdcage.(顾名思义，鸟笼效应控制了人们从鸟笼外部思考的能力。)”可知，“鸟笼效应”限制了我们跳出常规思维的能力。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Now, it comes to how to avoid The Birdcage Effect. First, we need to be result-driven: when dealing with a birdcage, telling yourself to consider the result before stepping on the path is a wise approach. Moreover, it’s important to remember that less is typically better than more. When you are given a “birdcage”, throwing away the birdcage may seem ignorant and wasteful; however, it will stop you from getting a bird.(现在，我们来看看如何避免鸟笼效应。首先，我们需要以结果为导向：在处理鸟笼时，告诉自己在踏上这条路之前要考虑结果是明智的做法。此外，重要的是要记住，少通常比多好。当你得到一个“鸟笼”时，扔掉鸟笼可能看起来是无知和浪费的；然而，这会阻止你得到一只鸟。)”可知，避免“鸟笼效应”需要控制不合理需求，不被不合适的物品引导行动。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段提到“This is an interesting phenomenon we call The Birdcage Effect.(这是一个有趣的现象，我们称之为鸟笼效应。)”，然后短文介绍了什么是“鸟笼效应”，如何避免“鸟笼效应”，由此可知，短文主要介绍的是“鸟笼效应”这一现象，因此短文的标题应该与“鸟笼效应”有关；根据第三段“The Birdcage Effect controls people’s ability to think from the outside of a birdcage.(鸟笼效应控制了人们从鸟笼外部思考的能力。)”可知，“鸟笼效应”会限制人们的思考，使人们做出一些不理智的购物行为，由此可知，选项A“你被困在鸟笼里了吗”可概括短文的主旨大意，适合作为短文的标题。故选A。 D Artificial intelligence (AI) could help stop one of the biggest dangers to the Great Barrier Reef, amazingly saving huge areas of coral from a harmful starfish. Google has teamed with scientists from the CSIRO to create AI software that could pick out the dangerous starfish, which is one of the natural wonder’s three biggest killers. The new way, using footage from an underwater camera to recognize starfish outbreaks on the Queensland reef, takes the place of an old method and early results show as well as cutting down man’s work, the new software has the advantage of correctly picking out more of the dangerous life on coral, stopping damaging outbreaks before they occur. Professor Russ Babcock, an expert with CSIRO, said Google’s AI technology, developed over 18 months, could be trained to find out starfish more easily than the old method developed in the 1970s. “We used to send out divers to count the starfish one by one. Now we just look at the images collected and the program can find 20 at a time,” he said. Google CEO Sundar Pichai said he was excited about the company’s effort put into the reef project. “We have put a lot of effort into the engineering in Australia and we will continue to do more work around AI there,” he said. “There are other good ideas about the technology and you will see us build on it. Our goal with our AI research teams is to strike partnerships with other groups, like universities and governments, to give its full play.” Professor Babcock said the AI software, which would be put into use on other reefs worldwide, was not the only solution to the starfish affecting the Great Barrier Reef, but one that could have an wide application. 12. What is the function of Google developing the AI software? A. To pick out a kind of starfish. B. To kill dangerous fishes. C. To protect the environment. D. To test a new camera. 13. What advantage does the AI technology have over the old method? A. It is less likely to break down. B. It can be started more quickly. C. It costs less for its development. D. It can do the work more easily. 14. What’s Sundar Pichai’s attitude towards the reef project? A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving. 15. It can be inferred form the passage that ________? A. The AI software is the best way to stop starfish outbreak. B. The AI software can be applied widely. C. The research teams won’t continue to do more work around the engineering in Australia. D. The old method used to look at the images collected by an underground camera. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了谷歌利用人工智能软件可以快速定位有害的海星，帮助拯救珊瑚礁。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“Google has teamed with scientists from the CSIRO to create AI software that could pick out the dangerous starfish, which is one of the natural wonder’s three biggest killers.(谷歌与CSIRO的科学家合作开发了一种人工智能软件，可以识别危险的海星，海星是自然奇观的三大杀手之一)”可知，人工智能软件可以挑选出有危险的海星。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句“Professor Russ Babcock, an expert with CSIRO, said Google’s AI technology, developed over 18 months, could be trained to find out starfish more easily than the old method developed in the 1970s.(CSIRO专家拉斯·巴布科克教授表示，谷歌的人工智能技术经过18个月的开发，经过训练，可以比上世纪70年代开发的旧方法更容易找到海星)”可知，比起先前的方法，人工智能软件能容易地找到目标。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Google CEO Sundar Pichai said he was excited about the company’s effort put into the reef project. (谷歌执行总裁Sundar Pichai表示，对于公司把精力放在礁石项目上他感到非常激动)”可知，Sundar Pichai是支持礁石项目的发展的。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Professor Babcock said the AI software, which would be put into use on other reefs worldwide, was not the only solution to the starfish affecting the Great Barrier Reef, but one that could have an wide application.(巴布科克教授表示，该人工智能软件将在全球其他珊瑚礁上投入使用，并不是解决海星影响大堡礁的唯一解决方案，但它可能会有广泛的应用)”可知，人工智能软件具有广泛的应用前景。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Scrapbooking (剪贴簿制作) is a hobby that has been growing in popularity. ____16____ For the wonderful moments, the scrap booker starts with a book and a set of photos, cards, and other small mementos (纪念品) that he or she wants to preserve for the future. ____17____ Although family history is a common subject of scrapbooks, there are several other themes (主题) to choose from.

With over 40 years of experience, he taps the overgrown ground with a wooden stick, warning wild animals for safety. He lives in Shixia village near the 8.6-kilometer part. Shixia villagers have a deep love for the wall. Mei remembers when he ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on the large building as a child. However in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian, patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter. In 1984, a Great Wall protection program started, with Mei’s effort encouraging many, and it was quickly picked up by villagers in Shixia. Realizing the importance of protection, more and more of them returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. His niece, Liu Hongyan, encouraged by him, also became a guardian in 2019. “When I was a child, my uncle always told me his patrol stories and the history of the Great Wall,” Liu says. “It is my duty and responsibility to protect the Great Wall.” Mei’s hard work has made a difference. From 2015 to 2023, 289 protection projects were allowed and thousands of guardians joined. Even though there is progress, the Shixiaguan part still remains closed to the public. “My biggest wish,” Mei says, “is to see the Great Wall well-protected and open for all to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting it.” 4 What made Mei Jingtian decide to protect the Great Wall? A. His dream of being a hero. B. Terrible damage caused by tourists. C. Poor condition of the Great Wall. D. Encouragement from other villagers. 5. What do the underlined words “picked up” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Recognised. B. Finished. C. Managed. D. Developed. 6. Which of the following best describes Mei Jingtian? A. Careful and confident. B. Kind-hearted and humorous. C. Creative and curious. D. Responsible and strong-willed. 7. What does Mei expect of the Shixiaguan part of the wall? A. The success of their projects can involve more people. B. Their protection projects will promote the local tourism. C. Their hard work can make a difference for historical research. D. The experience of their projects will benefit others a lot. C Have you ever bought anything useful for the useless product you bought earlier? This cycle just goes on and on, and you will end up with tons of useless things. This is an interesting phenomenon we call The Birdcage Effect. You don’t feel like having a pet animal. One day, your friend sends you a birdcage as your birthday present and you put it on the table. Then multiple people pass by asking you where the pet bird is. After you answer no, people suggest you get one for the birdcage. Finally, you buy one bird, then bird treats, toys, and even clothes. You keep adding more articles to the bird’s bill. Is there anything wrong? As the name suggests, The Birdcage Effect controls people’s ability to think from the outside of a birdcage. You buy a pet bird — which you never thought about having — because of a birdcage. This effect is mainly caused by you voluntarily assuming that the birdcage is part of your table; it acts as one of the conditions instead of a variable — which it is supposed to be. Therefore, you will end up spending the necessary money on something unnecessary. For example, buy 1 get 1 free—the discount cages you so that you are getting something else that is unneeded. Now, it comes to how to avoid The Birdcage Effect. First, we need to be result-driven: when dealing with a birdcage, telling yourself to consider the result before stepping on the path is a wise approach. Moreover, it’s important to remember that less is typically better than more. When you are given a “birdcage”, throwing away the birdcage may seem ignorant and wasteful; however, it will stop you from getting a bird. The Birdcage Effect is difficult to get rid of. However, it can be prevented if we properly control our unreasonable needs. Do not let an object direct your action, but let your logical mind guide your decision. 8. Which is The Birdcage Effect according to the passage? A. Buying pretty clothes for your lovely cat. B. Buying books for an unwanted shelf. C. Getting a birdcage for your pet bird. D. Behaving better on others’ advice. 9. How does The Birdcage Effect influence us? A. It helps us save money by buying discounted goods. B. It encourages us to consider the birdcage as a condition. C.

D Artificial intelligence (AI) could help stop one of the biggest dangers to the Great Barrier Reef, amazingly saving huge areas of coral from a harmful starfish. Google has teamed with scientists from the CSIRO to create AI software that could pick out the dangerous starfish, which is one of the natural wonder’s three biggest killers. The new way, using footage from an underwater camera to recognize starfish outbreaks on the Queensland reef, takes the place of an old method and early results show as well as cutting down man’s work, the new software has the advantage of correctly picking out more of the dangerous life on coral, stopping damaging outbreaks before they occur. Professor Russ Babcock, an expert with CSIRO, said Google’s AI technology, developed over 18 months, could be trained to find out starfish more easily than the old method developed in the 1970s. “We used to send out divers to count the starfish one by one. Now we just look at the images collected and the program can find 20 at a time,” he said. Google CEO Sundar Pichai said he was excited about the company’s effort put into the reef project. “We have put a lot of effort into the engineering in Australia and we will continue to do more work around AI there,” he said. “There are other good ideas about the technology and you will see us build on it. Our goal with our AI research teams is to strike partnerships with other groups, like universities and governments, to give its full play.” Professor Babcock said the AI software, which would be put into use on other reefs worldwide, was not the only solution to the starfish affecting the Great Barrier Reef, but one that could have an wide application. 12. What is the function of Google developing the AI software? A. To pick out a kind of starfish. B. To kill dangerous fishes. C. To protect the environment. D. To test a new camera. 13. What advantage does the AI technology have over the old method? A. It is less likely to break down. B. It can be started more quickly. C. It costs less for its development. D. It can do the work more easily. 14. What’s Sundar Pichai’s attitude towards the reef project? A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving. 15. It can be inferred form the passage that ________? A. The AI software is the best way to stop starfish outbreak. B. The AI software can be applied widely. C. The research teams won’t continue to do more work around the engineering in Australia. D. The old method used to look at the images collected by an underground camera. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Scrapbooking (剪贴簿制作) is a hobby that has been growing in popularity. ____16____ For the wonderful moments, the scrap booker starts with a book and a set of photos, cards, and other small mementos (纪念品) that he or she wants to preserve for the future. ____17____ Although family history is a common subject of scrapbooks, there are several other themes (主题) to choose from.
