There was a great oak tree near his home.It had stood out to his young self as a "fantastical giant--a treasure home to birds,insects and animals.There was a cave inside.We used to squeeze in through this hole."He decided to lock himself away for two months to draw it in all its glorious detail. "While I was drawing,"he said,"there came moments when it was as though the tree was drawing itself.I had spent so much time playing in it.I could feel it.It was deep inside me."His finished oak held"a real power",he said."As you walk towards it,it just grows."Brown became a tree portraitist. Over the next few years,he travelled across Britain and spent days with the trees selected with the help of the Ancient Tree Forum,the Tree Council and the Woodland Trust.Brown has started work on a 20-drawing series of Britain's most important ash trees."These beautiful old ash trees are going to be lost to us,"he says."They are 350 years old and they are dying because of a disease that we've spread." Drawing is not only an act of care and a demand for preservation,but it"gives me that interface between my passion for the natural world and my creativity,"Brown says. It has also given him a different perspective on the passage of time."I'm an old man yet I'm only 71,and some of the trees I've drawn are 1,000 years old.When I'm with them and when I draw them,I think about the end of my life and the brief nature of human life that passes momentarily beneath them." 14.At the age of 57,Mark Brown A.moved into his old house B.awakened a childhood interest C teached the peak of his life D.developed a passion for gardening .W hat can we learn about the oak tree and Brown?

In the study.the pigeons were presented with various visual images,including lines of different widths and angles,and different types of rings.The plgeons had to peck() a button on the right or left to indicate the category to which the image belonged.If they got it correct,they received food;if they were wrong,they received nothing. Results showed that,through trial and error,the pigeons improved their accuracy in categorization tasks,increasing their correct choices from about 55%to 95%. Researchers believed pigeons used associative learning,which is linking two phenomena with each other.For example,it is easy to understand the link between "water"and"wet"."Associative learning is frequently assumed to be far too primitive to explain complex visual categorization like what we saw the pigeons do,"Turner said. But that's exactly what the researchers found. The researchers'AI model tackled the same tasks using just the two simple meahanisms that pigeons were assumed to use:associative learning and error correction. And,like the pigeons,the AI model learned to make the right predictions to significantly increase the number of correct answers.For humans,the challenge when given tasks like those given to pigeons is that they would try to come up with rules that could make the task easier.But in this case,there were no rules,which upsets humans. What's interesting,though,is that pigeons use this method of learning that is very similar to AI designed by humans,Turner said."We celebrate how smart we are that we designed artificial intelligence:at the same time,we regard pigeons as not clever animals,"he said. 28 What is the purpose of the new studv? A.To test a theory. B.To evaluate a model. C.To apply a strategy. D.To involve an approach. 29.What were the pigeons expected to do in the experiment? A.Draw circles.B.Correct errors.C.Copy gestures. D.Identify images. 30.What do pigeons and AI have in common according to the study? A'They are of equal intelligence. They create rules to make tasks easier. C.They respond rapidly to orders from humans. D.They employ simple ways to get things done. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Pigeons'trial-and-error method is revealed B.Pigeons outperform humans in tough tasks C."Not smart pigeons may be as smart as Al D.AI models after pigeons'learning approach 第4页共9页 C扫描全能王 3亿人酿在用朝扫猫Ap时 D Today,poetry and science are often considered to be mutually exclusive career paths.But that wasn't always the case.The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets.The poet John Keats was a licensed surgeon.Combining the two practices fell out of favor in the 1800s.But translating research into lyrics,haiku,and other poetic forms is resurging among scientists as they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings. "Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,"says Sam Illingworth,a poet and a geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia.Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal,called Consilience,Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientifie field. Stephany Mazon,a scientist from the University of Helsinki in Finland,joined one o:Illingworth's workshops.In the workshop,she was grouped with other scientists and tasked with writing a haiku,a 17-syllable-long poem,which spotlighted water,a fluid that featured in all of the group members'research projects."It was a lot of fun,and surprisingly easy to write the poem,"Mazon says.She plans to continue writing."We do a disservice (to ourselves to think that scientists can't be artistic and that art can't be used to communicate scientific ideas,"Mazon says. That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth,who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides."Actually,when science communication involves writing and sharing poems,it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,"he says.Scientist-poet Manjula Silva,an educator at Imperial College London,agrees.Poetry provides a way to translate complex scientific concepts into a language that everyone can understand, Silva says. Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others.The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think.We're all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share. 32.What does the underlined word"exclusive"probably mean? A.Alternative.B.Rare. C.Interactive. D.Separate. 33.What are Illingworth's workshops aimed at? A.Popularizing a new science-poetry journal. B.Inspiring outsiders to pursue their careers in science. C.Encouraging science communication through poems. D.Getting scientists to exchange ideas about the latest research 34 Which of the following ideas may Silva agree with? A.It is easier and more interesting to write poems. B.Poetry helps simplify complicated scientific ideas C.Science shouldn't be taught in public lectures with PPT slides. D.Poems are used to create dialogues between scientists and poets. 第5页共9页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人静在用豹扫猫APp 35.What is the purpose of the article? A.To promote an idea. B.To offer suggestions. C.To prove an assumption.

In the introduction to her book,Cain shares a question she was asked all the time as a child:"Why are you so quiet?"It was usually asked out of concern,she noted. People took her silence as a sign of uneasiness or anger.In fact,she was just listening and observing her surroundings.Cain says introverts make for the best listeners.As keen listeners,introverts can pick up on information that some extroverts might overlook.Unlike extroverts,introverts are not known for jumping to conclusions, and as a result,they tend to receive more attention and appreciation from audiences when they do speak 39However,introverts tend to contribute their best work and ideas on their own."Introverts have an impressive ability to be independent,"Cain wrote."We find strength in solitude and are able-to use our precious alone time to focus and concentrate,”_( A.Listening is one of the necessary skills in life. B.It starts with recognizing their hidden strengths". C.Extroverts are known to perform well in group settings. D.In some way,observing is more important than listening. E.However,leaders need such kinds of abilities to make decisions. F.But leadership doesn't need to be quite social or attention-seeking. G.This is why pushing introverted kids to do group projects ends up backfiring.

I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night by one point."Sports stories are fun,"she said,"but not good enough 笛0币壮0而 C③扫描全能王 3亿人的在用明扫猫App for the frontpage.We need something ta really get people's attention." After our meeting,we left the newsroom together and heard someone screaming, "Perry is missing!"Perry was a big red parrot and had been our school mascot )for ten years.He played an important role in students'lives,both in and out of class. He had also been a constant presence at school events,inspiring a sense of unity among students. Everyone gathered around Perry's empty cage,heartbroken.Suddenly,a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo."You're a reporter for the school paper,right?I happened to take this yesterday,"he said.In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something large hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot. "He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!"Ashley cried. We hurried back to the newsroom,agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline“Deerfield Stole Perry.”“This is just the story we need.Everyone will read it,” Ashley said confidently. After she lett,I took a closer look at the photo.The clock in the background read 4:15 pm,but our game against Deerfield hadn't started until 4:30 pm.Why would the boy have taken Perry before we even played?An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone. I went to Perry's usual caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing."He's not missing.He's retired.He's ready for some quieter days,"he said.Learning the truth,I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry. 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。 To my surprise,Ashley insisted on reporting the "Deerfield Stole Perry"story On Thursday,the paper came out with the headline "Bye-Bye,Perry"on the front page.
