专题04 阅读理解（记叙文&新闻报道）（原卷版） （一） （23-24高二下·四川绵阳市·期末校考） Robert Kurtz finds himself right in the middle of a composting (堆肥) revolution. Kurtz is a manager at Rust Belt Riders, a composting company based in Cleveland, Ohio. Its goal is to meet the challenge of climate change by recycling as much food waste as possible. “If we’re going to meet the climate goals, we have to deal with food waste,” Kurtz said. “It’s a huge part of the problem.” Wasted food winds up in landfills. As it breaks down, it creates methane (甲烷), which traps heat in the atmosphere and fuels climate change. The average family in the U.S. spends $1,500 per year on food that doesn’t get eaten. Businesses waste food too. That’s where Kurtz’s job comes in. Every day, Kurtz contacts grocery stores, restaurants, and other food-service businesses to tell them about the harmful effects of food waste. Then, he offers to help them cope with their extra food. So far, Rust Belt Riders has persuaded 300 companies and 2,800 households to do differently with their food waste. The company’s seven trucks and 30 employees pick up their clients’ extra food. Then they compost it, turning it into soil. Compost soil is much more than just dirt. It’s made up of five ingredients that combine to help plants grow. That’s why Kurtz and his colleagues offer a second service: They sell the composted, nutrient-rich soil to people and businesses that need it. In addition to households and businesses. Rust Belt Riders has teamed up with local schools. At Dentzler Elementary, in Parma, Ohio, Rust Belt Riders helps the kitchen staff compost its food leftovers. The 500 students place their food waste into bins during lunch periods. The bins are then collected by Rust Belt Riders. “This program has created a space for all students to become environmental supervisors (监督人) in their own cafeteria when they might not otherwise have the opportunity,” says Emily Cass, a farm-to-school coordinator at Dentzler. 4. What is the aim of Rust Belt Riders? A. To make compost soil. B. To fight climate change. C. To advocate food saving. D. To clean up the landfills. 5. What does Rust Belt Riders mainly do? A. Buy the wasted food from its clients. B. Teach students to compost food waste. C. Make compost soil with the collected food. D. Cooperate with schools to sell the compost soil. 6. Which of the following may Emily Cass agree with? A. Students could benefit a lot from the program. B. Students can supervise the environment in class. C. I’s wrong to make profits by selling compost soil. D. The cafeteria is the best place to compost food waste. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A Method of Helping Plants to Grow B. Compost Soil — The Nutrient-rich Soil C. The Composting Revolution of Rust Belt Riders D. Robert Kurtz — An Environmental Conservationist （二） （23-24高二下·四川乐山市·期末统考） （1） Robot guide dogs may soon become available to the 17 million visually (视觉地) impaired people in China thanks to researchers from Northwestern Polytechnical University, who achieved a breakthrough using an artificial intelligence language model. The AI guide dog can provide assistance in life such as crossing streets, using elevators and guiding indoor spaces without having to be connected to the internet. It is a big step in exploring the application of involved intelligence —an intelligent machine with a physical form that can interact with the environment in real-time using sensors (传感器) to conduct instructions or make decisions. The research makes it possible to provide better guidance services for visually impaired people, especially for emotional companionship. “Though in recent years there have been some electronic navigation aids (导航助手) , such as electronic navigation helmets, navigation canes, and electronic guide dogs, they cannot engage in conversations with people or fully understand human instructions,” said Sun Zhe, an associate professor at the university’s School of Artificial Intelligence, Optics and Electronics, “They can only perform tasks according to pre-designed programs. They are just cold machines. That’s not enough. Visually impaired people face numerous challenges in daily life, including navigation difficulties and possible dangers, but smart guide dogs using the language model can offer them more convenient and safer guidance, effectively improving their life quality.” Sun said. The research team began developing the smart guide dog based on the AI model at the end of last month. Its findings have been published in the Communications of the Chinese Computer Society. “The current results prove the possibility of this approach, but there is still some way to go before it can be put into practical application,” Sun said. “We will put more effort into it and make it available for those in need as soon as possible.” 4. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “impaired” in paragraph 1? A. Disabled B. Advantaged C. Cheated D. Treated 5. What assistance can AI-guide dogs provide? A. Offer suggestions based on the internet. B. Replace you to make big decisions. C. Provide real-time guidance in daily life. D. Make emotional facial expressions. 6. What is the AI-guide dog’s advantage over other electronic navigation aids? A. It does not look like a cold machine. B. It works with a more complex navigation system. C. It is set with more pre-designed programs. D. It has a better understanding of human instructions. 7. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The team has developed AI-guide dogs for a long time. B. AI -guide dogs have not been put into production yet. C Many scientists doubt the team’s research achievements. D. There is a lack of funding for the project’s research. （2） SALT LAKE CITY, Utah —Drive west of this high desert city, and it’s like entering another world. Or maybe better put, another worldly landscape: the vast, and drying wetlands along the Great Salt Lake, the largest salt lake left in the western hemisphere (西半球), some fifty miles long and thirty wide. Carly Biedul is part of a team of scientists who have been tracking the lake’s decline amid the West’s record drought, which is made worse by climate change. They’ve been conducting weekly trips to various sampling and study sites for the last several years at the remote lake that only recently started making international headlines due to its sharp decline. Scientists warn the lake has already shrunk (缩减) nearly in half from its historical average. “For these birds that queue into these salty habitats, there are fewer places for them to go.” Says Heidi Hoven, a wetlands ecologist. Scientists say the West is believed to be as dry as it’s been in 1,200 years. The record drought has been contributing to the Great Salt Lake’s decline. But agriculture usually bears the major part of the blame. Upstream water diversions (导流) for expanding farms have meant less and less flows into the lake. Utah’s population is also growing fast, and the development is now running right up to the lake. But all this shock and alarm, the scientists say, may be good. Faced with such severe situation, the state is being pushed into action. Utah Governor Spencer Cox has promised the lake won’t dry up on his watch. The state’s law -making department has put upwards of a billion dollars lately into water conservation programs. Heidi Hoven sees the shorebirds as a key indicator species. “We have so much more to understand about what their needs are. In these changing times, it’s really highlighting the need to understand these things quickly. The last two winters may have bought Utah a little time, but no one in the West is depending on another good snow year next year.” She says. 8. What can we learn about the Great Salt Lake? A. It is the biggest salt lake in the world. B. It has been a worldwide focus for long. C. It is declining at an alarming rate. D. It attracts more and more birds. 9. What is the major cause of the lake’s drying up? A. Water diversion. B. Climate change. C. Increasing population. D. Housing development. 10. What is Utah’s reaction towards the drought? A. Its governor just made a false promise. B. It is determined to improve the situation. C. It asks scientists to keep watching. D. It spends lots of money to clear farms. 11 What is Heidi Hoven’s attitude towards the drying Great Salt Lake? A. Optimistic. B. Uncaring. C. Relieved. D. Worried. （三） （23-24高二下·四川泸州市·期末统考） A flat tyre happened to us when we moved in to the Mount Barnett Roadhouse on Western Australia. Luckily, three warm-hearted local guys changed our tyre, with serious warnings to get to the service station to fix it. My wife Jean and I had wanted to experience one of the English-speaking world’s most remote places that non-explorers could manage on their own — the Kimberley region, an area in the northwestern corner of Australia. Eventually,we got the chance. The only way to explore Kimberley is by the Gibbvery, a very tough path, or by air. We did the latter first,taking the lay of the land from the sky before we set off down the Gibbvery on four wheels.To do that, we went to the jumping-off point for helicopter tours in Kimberley. “You from Canada, mate?” asked James Bondfield, our young helicopter pilot. “Uh, yes, I am.” When we Canadians open our mouths in Australia, we’re almost always mistaken for Americans. “I worked in Canada,” said Bondfield, explaining that he had built up his flying hours in the oil sands in northern Alberta. He also flew in the forests of Papua New Guinea, Malaysia and Indonesia before returning home and rising to be at age 30. During the following two days, Bondfield, like any great guide, took us where we expected to go, then showed us his own secret places there. We first picnicked on top of King George Falls in the Balanggarra Indigenous Protected Area, a 1 million-hectare homeland of First Peoples in Australia, and their rock art, dating back to more than 40,000 years ago, is drawing global attention. Bondfield landed us near some caves covered in the images of ancient plants and animals. Their brightness was barely faded despite tens of thousands of years of bad weather. We crawled into rock cracks all afternoon, snapped photos and returned with shots of paintings that are among the oldest made by humans anywhere in the world. 4. What problem did the author and his wife face during the travel? A. They failed to find a service station. B. They had a traffic accident. C. Their car needed mending in some way. D. Their car lost its way in the wild. 5. What can we say about Bondfield? A. He was confident of the flight. B. He was strict with passengers. C. He was fond of flying secretly. D. He was unfamiliar with Canada. 6. What is the highlight of the Balanggarra Indigenous Protected Area? A. The creature resources. B. The ancient rock art. C. The changeable weather. D. The undeveloped scenery. 7. How does the author like this experience? A. Unclear. B. Tolerant. C. Content. D. Regretful. （四） （23-24高二下·四川达州市·期末校考） （1） Recently, I found myself back at the Tube station. It had been my home station when I first lived in London in my 20s. When I stepped off the train and onto the platform, a strange thing happened. For a moment, I felt time collapse, and my feet automatically (自动地) picked up the way they’d followed every day for seven years. At that time, I couldn’t have told you whether I was 24 or 42. The girl from the past and the woman here now were one and the same. I felt her enthusiasm and sense of self-belief, realizing them as real and as a memory at the same time. When I came out of the station, my body was made to go left — to follow the path home — until my mind corrected it, turned me right, and sent me off into the day. At that moment I was very clear about what I was thinking, but it made me wonder about what it’s like to go back. When I stood at the station, however, I saw the advantage in looking back. I asked myself if my 24-year-old self would be proud of me today. Perhaps there would be something that she’d be excited about — the people I’ve worked with and the friends I’ve kept. Maybe that’s what she’d cherish, while I tried to explain to her the concepts of ‘cost-of-living’ and mortgage (按揭贷款). Looking back also allowed me to remember how big she dreamed and how enthusiastically she believed in things. I remembered her love of fun and how much she enjoyed a party. For a few days after, I found myself turning to Apple Music lists belonging to my 24-year-old self and dancing to them, timelines merging once again. Looking back gives me the energy to move forwards. 4. What do we know about the author in her 20s? A. She walked to work every day. B. She worked in the Tube station. C. She lived alone in a train station. D. She lived in London for seven years. 5. What does the underlined part “sent me off into the day” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A Led me towards the light. B. Brought me back to reality. C. Made my dream a reality. D. Took me on the way home. 6. What would the author value if she could turn back to 24? A. Money. B. Workplace. C. Friendship. D. Education. 7 What can be a suitable title for the text? A. 24-year-old Self Is Always with Me B. My Old Days in London Benefit My Life C. Double Selves Are My Best Self D. Recalling the Past Gives Me Energy （2） A new report has showed that the number of birds illegally trapped and killed in Cyprus increased to more than 400,000 in the autumn of 2023. The report, published by BirdLife Cyprus and supported by RSPB and CABS, details how the number of birds killed has increased by an estimated 90,000 to 435,000. Cyprus is a important stop-off point every autumn. Vast numbers of birds will stop here during their annual migration from Europe to Africa. Many birds touching down are illegally trapped and killed by criminal gangs (团伙), before being old to restaurants where they are eaten as an expensive local dish. Autumn is the main trapping season in Cyprus, as migrating birds have built up their fat. People who illegally eat these bids consider them to be of better quality at this time of year, because of this higher fat content. After returning from Africa in the spring, the birds will reduce most of their fat and are judged to be of lower quality. Since 2014, Cypriot law enforcement authorities (执法机构) and the anti-poaching unit (反偷猎小队) have worked with BirdLife Cyprus, the CABS and the RSPB, which has led to a huge drop in the number of traps found and birds killed. Last autumn, however, the work of the anti-poaching unit decreased. This is thought to be a significant factor behind the 2023 increase in numbers. “Our international premiership has shown that we can deal with this criminal activity together. However, last autumn shows that more still needs to be done,” says Mark Thomas, head of RSPB investigations. “We cannot allow the progress we’ve made to be undone and bird killings to return to the previous annoying levels. By working together, we can make this a thing of the past.” 8. What has been detailed in the report? A. How the number of killed birds increased. B. How the migrating birds are trapped and killed. C. How the anti-poaching unit worked with media. D. How many migrating birds have been trapped so far. 9. What can be inferred from paragraphs 2-3? A. Illegally eating birds is very popular in Cyprus. B. Birds migrate from Europe to Africa all year around. C. Birds returning from Africa reduce greatly in number. D. In Cyprus more birds are trapped in autumn than in spring. 10. What do Mark Thomas’s words mean? A. It’s impossible to control bird killing. B. Teaming up can be more effective. C. The anti-poaching unit did its best. D. More measures should be adopted. 11. What do you think of the bird conservation in Cyprus according to the text? A. It remains challenging. B. It is a model of success. C. It has promoted local tourism. D. It is well-organized. （五） （23-24高二下·四川资阳市·期末统考） Meet Johanna Quaas, a remarkable 98-year-old gymnast from Germany who has been competing since she was 10 years old in 1935.

While my brother chose the path of mastering musical instruments, I was attracted to the field of languages. Growing up in a multilingual household where Chinese, Cantonese, and English mixed, I felt it natural to continue exploring new linguistic possibilities. Languages fascinated me. I was attracted by the way words gracefully rolled off tongues and how each language seemed to unlock a door to an entirely new world, no matter how challenging they were to learn. Eager to try beyond Asian languages, it was my mother who suggested French as a suitable starting point. The elegance and poetic charm of the language quickly attracted me. The melodic flow and the way the words effortlessly danced off my tongue caused an exciting feeling, fueling my desire to explore deeper into its complexity. Interestingly, despite my passion and talent for it, French proved to be the language that took the longest to fully grasp. Nevertheless, I insisted and never gave up expanding my linguistic arsenal (宝库). After realizing that Spanish wasn’t the right fit for me, I found myself addicted to the fascinating world of German. Being enrolled (就读) in a German-speaking school speeded my progress, and two years later, my command of German surpassed my years of studying French. As time passed, I added Latin, Ancient Greek, and Japanese to my linguistic arsenal. It fact, speaking multiple languages is not a mere achievement; it is a joyous celebration of the richness of human expression. For me, it serves as a powerful tool to develop connections with people all over the world. 4. Why did the author’s mother teach her children the importance of acquiring life skills? A.

Creative. D. Determined. （七） （23-24高二下·四川宜宾市·期末统考） It’s not every day you cross paths with a wandering robot in the woods. Matthew McCormack wasn’t dreaming when he came across a delivery robot in the woods of Northampton in the United Kingdom. “I spotted the robot while cycling in Lings Wood,” he told NPR over email. “We have them all over town for grocery deliveries, but I was surprised to see it so far from the shops, so I took a picture of it.” Since McCormack, a history professor at the University of Northampton in England, shared that picture on Twitter, he has been enjoying some minor social media celebrity. He did take a bit of poetic license by tweeting, “On my bike ride this morning, I saw a delivery robot lost in the woods.” McCormack said, “It doubtless knew where it was going and got there eventually, but it did seem curious moving slowly and making a sound along in woodland.” His tweet, which he posted on May 15, has received more than 250,000 likes and well over 17,000 retweets. The company that makes these robots, Starship Technologies, has also been in touch with McCormack since his tweet. Apparently they “absolutely love” his message. But why has this image tickled people so much? McCormack believes it’s because this little lovely woodland robot buddy is a reminder of beloved robot characters such as R2-D2 and WALL-E, he said. “I think the image is resonating (共鸣) with people because it is funny but also amazing,” he said. “We often project personalities onto technology, and these little grocery robots are very cute.” McCormack reports that people have come across this wandering traveler out in the woods. This particular robot seems to favor the wilderness to life in Northampton. 4. Why did the robot in Lings Wood surprise McCormack initially? A. Because it actually lost its way. B. Because it was abandoned there. C. Because it rode a bicycle by itself. D. Because it seemed rare to appear there. 5. What can we learn about McCormack’s tweet? A. It is inspiring. B. It is really poetic. C. It is well received. D. It is delicately written. 6. What does the underlined word “tickled” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Amused B. Defeated C. Frightened D. Touched 7.

D. This robot enjoys the wildlife in Northampton. （八） （23-24高二下·四川凉山州·期末统考） （1） The email subject line grabbed my attention: “Still interested in the car?” I took a deep breath, my fingers shaking over the computer mouse. Mom’s car, a convertible (敞篷车), was a timeless beauty. Some of my favorite childhood memories were of us riding in it. Mom always wore her big sunglasses. I felt like I was riding with a super star. Now, more than 30 years later, whenever I see a classic car drive by, those memories would flood back, and they were all I had left of Mom. She died when I was only 15. And with all of the changes that came after, many of her things were given away or sold. The car had been bought by a collector in Michigan. I had connected with him when I was in my early twenties, asking if he might ever be interested in selling. But he politely refused. However, I couldn’t let go of the idea. Now here was this email. I opened it. “I have several people who have asked to purchase that classic car,” it read. “It’s time to sell, but I want to give you the first option to buy if you’re still interested.” “Absolutely! ”I typed, and then started working out the route of driving from Kentucky to Michigan to buy the car. Finally, I was in front of the car. It was sitting in the driveway, washed and waxed. I hurried over to greet the collector. He shook my hand, and then went into the house to grab the documents for the car. Later the collector returned carrying a small bag. I handed him the check. “I found this when I was cleaning the car a few days ago,” he said, passing me the bag. I opened the bag. “Mom’s sunglasses!” I cried. 24.

Mom, a Super Star in My Heart （2） For the last three years, the volunteer team of students from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) has been providing technological support for many desperate parents looking for their children by restoring photos. The team has reunited 11 missing children with their families. Its AI technology has increased the odds of finding missing children, reduced search time and brought hope to many families. The team was founded by Sheng Jianzhong three years ago, when he was a doctoral student at HUST’s School of Software Engineering. He first thought to restore photographs of missing children when he came across a missing child notice with an image of poor quality in 2020. As he was majoring in digital image processing, he decided to use his skills to help the parents restore their images. However, the development of an image restoration algorithm requires the construction of a large database, which cannot be completed by one person alone. Many like-minded students soon volunteered to join Sheng’s project. After six months of detailed technological research and development, they produced an image restoration AI algorithm that solved the issue of unclear faces in photographs. A restored image can be generated just minutes after an unclear portrait is put into the system, significantly improving the clarity of facial features. Parents are then able to print the high-quality images of their missing children onto T-shirts or large posters. The volunteers have also made tapes and postcards with the restored photos to expand the scale of searches. In the future, Sheng plans to build a more professional team. “It would use technology to help people who have lost their loved ones, and also cultivate more young scholars to work for good causes,” he said. 32. Which word can replace the underlined word “odds” in paragraph l? A. probability B. risk C. difficulty D. number 33. What is Sheng’s inspiration for image restoration? A. More and more children's missing. B. The development of AI technology. C. His major in digital image processing. D. A missing child notice with an unclear image. 34. Which of the following statement about Sheng Jianzhong is right? A. He solved the issue of unclear faces in photos alone. B. After he got his doctor's degree, he founded the team. C. His team hasn't reunited children with their families so far. D. He plans to call on more professionals to participate in the cause. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Family reunion matters most. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. AI helps missing children return home. D. Good causes deserve people's participation. 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题04 阅读理解（记叙文&新闻报道）（解析版） （一） （23-24高二下·四川绵阳市·期末校考） Robert Kurtz finds himself right in the middle of a composting (堆肥) revolution. Kurtz is a manager at Rust Belt Riders, a composting company based in Cleveland, Ohio. Its goal is to meet the challenge of climate change by recycling as much food waste as possible. “If we’re going to meet the climate goals, we have to deal with food waste,” Kurtz said. “It’s a huge part of the problem.” Wasted food winds up in landfills. As it breaks down, it creates methane (甲烷), which traps heat in the atmosphere and fuels climate change. The average family in the U.S. spends $1,500 per year on food that doesn’t get eaten. Businesses waste food too. That’s where Kurtz’s job comes in. Every day, Kurtz contacts grocery stores, restaurants, and other food-service businesses to tell them about the harmful effects of food waste. Then, he offers to help them cope with their extra food. So far, Rust Belt Riders has persuaded 300 companies and 2,800 households to do differently with their food waste. The company’s seven trucks and 30 employees pick up their clients’ extra food. Then they compost it, turning it into soil. Compost soil is much more than just dirt. It’s made up of five ingredients that combine to help plants grow. That’s why Kurtz and his colleagues offer a second service: They sell the composted, nutrient-rich soil to people and businesses that need it. In addition to households and businesses. Rust Belt Riders has teamed up with local schools. At Dentzler Elementary, in Parma, Ohio, Rust Belt Riders helps the kitchen staff compost its food leftovers. The 500 students place their food waste into bins during lunch periods. The bins are then collected by Rust Belt Riders. “This program has created a space for all students to become environmental supervisors (监督人) in their own cafeteria when they might not otherwise have the opportunity,” says Emily Cass, a farm-to-school coordinator at Dentzler. 4. What is the aim of Rust Belt Riders? A. To make compost soil. B. To fight climate change. C. To advocate food saving. D. To clean up the landfills. 5. What does Rust Belt Riders mainly do? A. Buy the wasted food from its clients. B. Teach students to compost food waste. C. Make compost soil with the collected food. D. Cooperate with schools to sell the compost soil. 6. Which of the following may Emily Cass agree with? A. Students could benefit a lot from the program. B. Students can supervise the environment in class. C. I’s wrong to make profits by selling compost soil. D. The cafeteria is the best place to compost food waste. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A Method of Helping Plants to Grow B. Compost Soil — The Nutrient-rich Soil C. The Composting Revolution of Rust Belt Riders D. Robert Kurtz — An Environmental Conservationist 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Robert Kurtz成立Rust Belt Riders公司，进行堆肥革命，目标是通过回收尽可能多的食物垃圾来应对气候变化的挑战。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Kurtz is a manager at Rust Belt Riders, a composting company based in Cleveland, Ohio. Its goal is to meet the challenge of climate change by recycling as much food waste as possible.(Kurtz是位于俄亥俄州克利夫兰的堆肥公司Rust Belt Riders的经理。它的目标是通过回收尽可能多的食物垃圾来应对气候变化的挑战。)”可知，Rust Belt Riders的目的是应对气候变化。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The company’s seven trucks and 30 employees pick up their clients’ extra food. Then they compost it, turning it into soil.(该公司有7辆卡车和30名员工为客户运送额外的食物。然后将其堆肥，变成土壤。)”可知，Rust Belt Riders主要用收集的食物制作堆肥土壤。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Emily Cass所说“This program has created a space for all students to become environmental supervisors (监督人) in their own cafeteria when they might not otherwise have the opportunity (这个项目为所有学生创造了一个空间，让他们在自己的食堂里成为环境监督员，否则他们可能没有机会。)”可知，Emily Cass认为学生可以从这个项目中受益很多。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Robert Kurtz finds himself right in the middle of a composting (堆肥) revolution.

(Robert Kurtz发现自己正处于堆肥革命的中心。Kurtz是位于俄亥俄州克利夫兰的堆肥公司Rust Belt Riders的经理。它的目标是通过回收尽可能多的食物垃圾来应对气候变化的挑战。)”可知，本文主要讲述了Robert Kurtz成立Rust Belt Riders公司，进行堆肥革命，目标是通过回收尽可能多的食物垃圾来应对气候变化的挑战。C“Rust Belt Riders的堆肥革命”符合主题，故选C项。 （二） （23-24高二下·四川乐山市·期末统考） （1） Robot guide dogs may soon become available to the 17 million visually (视觉地) impaired people in China thanks to researchers from Northwestern Polytechnical University, who achieved a breakthrough using an artificial intelligence language model. The AI guide dog can provide assistance in life such as crossing streets, using elevators and guiding indoor spaces without having to be connected to the internet. It is a big step in exploring the application of involved intelligence —an intelligent machine with a physical form that can interact with the environment in real-time using sensors (传感器) to conduct instructions or make decisions. The research makes it possible to provide better guidance services for visually impaired people, especially for emotional companionship. “Though in recent years there have been some electronic navigation aids (导航助手) , such as electronic navigation helmets, navigation canes, and electronic guide dogs, they cannot engage in conversations with people or fully understand human instructions,” said Sun Zhe, an associate professor at the university’s School of Artificial Intelligence, Optics and Electronics, “They can only perform tasks according to pre-designed programs. They are just cold machines. That’s not enough. Visually impaired people face numerous challenges in daily life, including navigation difficulties and possible dangers, but smart guide dogs using the language model can offer them more convenient and safer guidance, effectively improving their life quality.” Sun said. The research team began developing the smart guide dog based on the AI model at the end of last month. Its findings have been published in the Communications of the Chinese Computer Society. “The current results prove the possibility of this approach, but there is still some way to go before it can be put into practical application,” Sun said. “We will put more effort into it and make it available for those in need as soon as possible.” 4. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “impaired” in paragraph 1? A. Disabled B. Advantaged C. Cheated D. Treated 5. What assistance can AI-guide dogs provide? A. Offer suggestions based on the internet. B. Replace you to make big decisions. C. Provide real-time guidance in daily life. D. Make emotional facial expressions. 6. What is the AI-guide dog’s advantage over other electronic navigation aids? A. It does not look like a cold machine. B. It works with a more complex navigation system. C. It is set with more pre-designed programs. D. It has a better understanding of human instructions. 7. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The team has developed AI-guide dogs for a long time. B. AI -guide dogs have not been put into production yet. C Many scientists doubt the team’s research achievements. D. There is a lack of funding for the project’s research. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍是西北工业大学的研究人员在使用人工智能语言模型方面取得了突破，使得视障人士可能很快就可以使用机器人导盲犬了。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的“Robot guide dogs may soon become available to the 17 million visually (机器人导盲犬可能很快就会为1700万视觉上……的人使用了)” 以及常识可知，使用导盲犬机器人的人应该是视觉受损的人，由此可知，划线单词的意思应与“受损”意义相近。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The AI guide dog can provide assistance in life such as crossing streets, using elevators and guiding indoor spaces without having to be connected to the internet. (人工智能导盲犬可以在不连接互联网的情况下，在过马路、使用电梯、引导室内空间等生活中提供帮助)”可知，人工智能导盲犬可以在过马路、使用电梯、引导室内空间等生活中提供帮助，由此可知，人工导盲犬可以在日常生活中提供实时指导。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Though in recent years there have been some electronic navigation aids (导航助手) , such as electronic navigation helmets, navigation canes, and electronic guide dogs, they cannot engage in conversations with people or fully understand human instructions (尽管近年来出现了一些电子导航辅助设备，比如电子导航头盔、导航杖和电子导盲犬，但它们不能与人对话，也不能完全理解人类的指令)”可知，以前的电子导航设备不能与人对话，也不能完全理解人类的指令，结合下文中的“Visually impaired people face numerous challenges in daily life, including navigation difficulties and possible dangers, but smart guide dogs using the language model can offer them more convenient and safer guidance, effectively improving their life quality. (视障人士在日常生活中面临着许多挑战，包括导航困难和可能的危险，但使用语言模型的智能导盲犬可以为他们提供更方便、更安全的指导，有效提高他们的生活质量)”可知，使用语言模型的智能导盲犬可以给视障人士提供更多安全指导，有效提高他们的生活质量，综合以上信息可知，人工智能导盲犬比其它电子导航设备能更好地理解人类的指令，提高视障人士的生活质量。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据尾段中的““The current results prove the possibility of this approach, but there is still some way to go before it can be put into practical application,” Sun said. “We will put more effort into it and make it available for those in need as soon as possible.” (“目前的结果证明了这种方法的可能性，但在投入实际应用之前还有一段路要走，”孙说。“我们将付出更多努力，尽快为有需要的人提供帮助。”)”可知，人工智能导盲犬在投入使用前还有一段路要走，由此可知，人工智能导盲犬还没有投入生产。故选B项。 （2） SALT LAKE CITY, Utah —Drive west of this high desert city, and it’s like entering another world. Or maybe better put, another worldly landscape: the vast, and drying wetlands along the Great Salt Lake, the largest salt lake left in the western hemisphere (西半球), some fifty miles long and thirty wide. Carly Biedul is part of a team of scientists who have been tracking the lake’s decline amid the West’s record drought, which is made worse by climate change. They’ve been conducting weekly trips to various sampling and study sites for the last several years at the remote lake that only recently started making international headlines due to its sharp decline. Scientists warn the lake has already shrunk (缩减) nearly in half from its historical average. “For these birds that queue into these salty habitats, there are fewer places for them to go.” Says Heidi Hoven, a wetlands ecologist. Scientists say the West is believed to be as dry as it’s been in 1,200 years. The record drought has been contributing to the Great Salt Lake’s decline. But agriculture usually bears the major part of the blame. Upstream water diversions (导流) for expanding farms have meant less and less flows into the lake. Utah’s population is also growing fast, and the development is now running right up to the lake. But all this shock and alarm, the scientists say, may be good. Faced with such severe situation, the state is being pushed into action. Utah Governor Spencer Cox has promised the lake won’t dry up on his watch. The state’s law -making department has put upwards of a billion dollars lately into water conservation programs. Heidi Hoven sees the shorebirds as a key indicator species. “We have so much more to understand about what their needs are. In these changing times, it’s really highlighting the need to understand these things quickly. The last two winters may have bought Utah a little time, but no one in the West is depending on another good snow year next year.” She says. 8. What can we learn about the Great Salt Lake? A. It is the biggest salt lake in the world. B. It has been a worldwide focus for long. C. It is declining at an alarming rate. D. It attracts more and more birds. 9. What is the major cause of the lake’s drying up? A. Water diversion. B. Climate change. C. Increasing population. D. Housing development. 10. What is Utah’s reaction towards the drought? A. Its governor just made a false promise. B. It is determined to improve the situation. C. It asks scientists to keep watching. D. It spends lots of money to clear farms. 11 What is Heidi Hoven’s attitude towards the drying Great Salt Lake? A. Optimistic. B. Uncaring. C. Relieved. D. Worried. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是犹他州盐湖干涸的相关情况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They’ve been conducting weekly trips to various sampling and study sites for the last several years at the remote lake that only recently started making international headlines due to its sharp decline. Scientists warn the lake has already shrunk (缩减) nearly in half from its historical average.(在过去的几年里，他们每周都去这个偏远的湖泊进行各种采样和研究，直到最近，这个湖泊才开始成为国际头条新闻，因为它的数量急剧下降。科学家警告说，该湖已经缩小了，比历史平均水平缩小了近一半。)”可知，这个湖泊的数量急剧下降，现在已经比历史水平缩小了近一半，由此可知，这个湖泊争议惊人的速度减少。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The record drought has been contributing to the Great Salt Lake’s decline. But agriculture usually bears the major part of the blame. Upstream water diversions (导流) for expanding farms have meant less and less flows into the lake.(创纪录的干旱导致了大盐湖的水量下降。但农业通常要承担主要责任。为扩大农场而进行的上游导流意味着流入湖中的水量越来越少。)”可知，农业对盐湖水量减少承担蛀牙责任，为了扩大农场，而进行的上游导流使得进入盐湖的水越来越少，由此可知，导流是造成盐湖干涸的主要原因。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据尾段中的 “Faced with such severe situation, the state is being pushed into action. Utah Governor Spencer Cox has promised the lake won’t dry up on his watch. The state’s law-making department has put upwards of a billion dollars lately into water conservation programs.(面对如此严峻的形势，该州正被迫采取行动。犹他州州长斯宾塞·考克斯承诺，在他任内，盐湖不会干涸。该州的法律制定部门最近在水资源保护项目上投入了超过10亿美元。)”可知，面对严峻形势，国家被迫采取行动，最近在水资源保护项目上投入了超过10亿美元，由此可知，面对干旱，犹他州决定改善当前的状况。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的““We have so much more to understand about what their needs are. In these changing times, it’s really highlighting the need to understand these things quickly. The last two winters may have bought Utah a little time, but no one in the West is depending on another good snow year next year.” She says.(“我们对他们的需求还有很多需要了解。在这个瞬息万变的时代，它确实强调了快速理解这些事情的必要性。过去的两个冬天可能给犹他州赢得了一点时间，但西部没有人指望明年会有一个好雪年。”她说。)”可知，Heidi Hoven认为，过去两个冬天给犹他州赢得了一点时间，但西部没有人指望明年会有一个好雪年，由此可推断，Heidi Hoven对盐湖的干涸持担忧态度。故选D项。 （三） （23-24高二下·四川泸州市·期末统考） A flat tyre happened to us when we moved in to the Mount Barnett Roadhouse on Western Australia. Luckily, three warm-hearted local guys changed our tyre, with serious warnings to get to the service station to fix it. My wife Jean and I had wanted to experience one of the English-speaking world’s most remote places that non-explorers could manage on their own — the Kimberley region, an area in the northwestern corner of Australia. Eventually,we got the chance. The only way to explore Kimberley is by the Gibbvery, a very tough path, or by air. We did the latter first,taking the lay of the land from the sky before we set off down the Gibbvery on four wheels.To do that, we went to the jumping-off point for helicopter tours in Kimberley. “You from Canada, mate?” asked James Bondfield, our young helicopter pilot. “Uh, yes, I am.” When we Canadians open our mouths in Australia, we’re almost always mistaken for Americans. “I worked in Canada,” said Bondfield, explaining that he had built up his flying hours in the oil sands in northern Alberta. He also flew in the forests of Papua New Guinea, Malaysia and Indonesia before returning home and rising to be at age 30. During the following two days, Bondfield, like any great guide, took us where we expected to go, then showed us his own secret places there. We first picnicked on top of King George Falls in the Balanggarra Indigenous Protected Area, a 1 million-hectare homeland of First Peoples in Australia, and their rock art, dating back to more than 40,000 years ago, is drawing global attention. Bondfield landed us near some caves covered in the images of ancient plants and animals. Their brightness was barely faded despite tens of thousands of years of bad weather. We crawled into rock cracks all afternoon, snapped photos and returned with shots of paintings that are among the oldest made by humans anywhere in the world. 4. What problem did the author and his wife face during the travel? A. They failed to find a service station. B. They had a traffic accident. C. Their car needed mending in some way. D. Their car lost its way in the wild. 5. What can we say about Bondfield? A. He was confident of the flight. B. He was strict with passengers. C. He was fond of flying secretly. D. He was unfamiliar with Canada. 6. What is the highlight of the Balanggarra Indigenous Protected Area? A. The creature resources. B. The ancient rock art. C. The changeable weather. D. The undeveloped scenery. 7. How does the author like this experience? A. Unclear. B. Tolerant. C. Content. D. Regretful. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者夫妇在澳大利亚西北部的金伯利地区自驾游时遭遇爆胎，幸得当地人帮助，后乘坐直升机俯瞰这片原始旷野，探访古老岩画，体验了一段难忘的探险旅程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“A flat tyre happened to us when we moved in to the Mount Barnett Roadhouse on Western Australia.(当我们搬到西澳大利亚的巴内特山客栈时，一个轮胎漏气了。)”可知，作者和他的妻子在旅行中遇到了轮胎爆裂的问题，即他们的汽车需要修理一下。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。从文章第四段““I worked in Canada,” said Bondfield, explaining that he had built up his flying hours in the oil sands in northern Alberta. He also flew in the forests of Papua New Guinea, Malaysia and Indonesia before returning home and rising to be at age 30.(“我在加拿大工作。”他解释说，他的飞行时间是在阿尔伯塔省北部的油砂上积累起来的。在回国之前，他还在巴布亚新几内亚、马来西亚和印度尼西亚的森林中飞行，并在30岁时晋升为飞行员。)”可以看出Bondfield有丰富的飞行经验，且他在30岁时已经成为了飞行员，这表明他对自己飞行技术很有信心。但文章并未提及他对乘客严格或是喜欢秘密飞行，也没有提到他不熟悉加拿大，相反，他曾在加拿大工作过。因此，A选项最符合文章描述。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段中“We first picnicked on top of King George Falls in the Balanggarra Indigenous Protected Area, a 1 million-hectare homeland of First Peoples in Australia, and their rock art, dating back to more than 40,000 years ago, is drawing global attention.(我们第一次野餐是在巴兰加拉土著保护区的乔治国王瀑布顶上，这是澳大利亚第一民族的100万公顷的家园，他们的岩石艺术可以追溯到4万多年前，引起了全球的关注。)”可知，Balanggarra Indigenous Protected Area的最大亮点是古老的岩石艺术。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。结合第二段“My wife Jean and I had wanted to experience one of the English-speaking world’s most remote places that non-explorers could manage on their own — the Kimberley region, an area in the northwestern corner of Australia. Eventually,we got the chance.(我和我的妻子珍想体验一下英语世界中最偏远的地方之一——金伯利地区，这是澳大利亚西北角的一个地区，非探险家也可以自己去。最终，我们得到了这个机会。)”和最后一段“We crawled into rock cracks all afternoon, snapped photos and returned with shots of paintings that are among the oldest made by humans anywhere in the world.(我们整个下午都爬进岩石裂缝里，抓拍照片，回来时拍下了世界上最古老的人类画作。)”可知通过文章整体描述，作者分享了他们在Kimberley地区的探险经历，以及与Bondfield一起探索该地区的过程，包括参观King George Falls和古老的岩画。文章没有表达出作者对此经历感到不清楚、容忍或后悔的情绪，反而充满了对所见所闻的惊叹和对古老文化的尊重，因此可以推断出作者对这次体验感到满意。故选C。 （四） （23-24高二下·四川达州市·期末校考） （1） Recently, I found myself back at the Tube station. It had been my home station when I first lived in London in my 20s. When I stepped off the train and onto the platform, a strange thing happened. For a moment, I felt time collapse, and my feet automatically (自动地) picked up the way they’d followed every day for seven years. At that time, I couldn’t have told you whether I was 24 or 42. The girl from the past and the woman here now were one and the same. I felt her enthusiasm and sense of self-belief, realizing them as real and as a memory at the same time. When I came out of the station, my body was made to go left — to follow the path home — until my mind corrected it, turned me right, and sent me off into the day. At that moment I was very clear about what I was thinking, but it made me wonder about what it’s like to go back. When I stood at the station, however, I saw the advantage in looking back. I asked myself if my 24-year-old self would be proud of me today. Perhaps there would be something that she’d be excited about — the people I’ve worked with and the friends I’ve kept. Maybe that’s what she’d cherish, while I tried to explain to her the concepts of ‘cost-of-living’ and mortgage (按揭贷款). Looking back also allowed me to remember how big she dreamed and how enthusiastically she believed in things. I remembered her love of fun and how much she enjoyed a party. For a few days after, I found myself turning to Apple Music lists belonging to my 24-year-old self and dancing to them, timelines merging once again. Looking back gives me the energy to move forwards. 4. What do we know about the author in her 20s? A. She walked to work every day. B. She worked in the Tube station. C. She lived alone in a train station. D. She lived in London for seven years. 5. What does the underlined part “sent me off into the day” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A Led me towards the light. B. Brought me back to reality. C. Made my dream a reality. D. Took me on the way home. 6. What would the author value if she could turn back to 24? A. Money. B. Workplace. C. Friendship. D. Education. 7 What can be a suitable title for the text? A. 24-year-old Self Is Always with Me B. My Old Days in London Benefit My Life C. Double Selves Are My Best Self D. Recalling the Past Gives Me Energy 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者回到年轻时常坐的伦敦地铁站，瞬间被带回过去的生活轨迹。她感受到年轻时的激情与自信，思考着回到过去的意义。同时，她也反思现在的自己是否能让年轻时的自己感到骄傲，并发现回忆过去给了她前进的动力。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It had been my home station when I first lived in London in my 20s.(当我最初20多岁住在伦敦时，这是我回家的站台)”和“For a moment, I felt time collapse, and my feet automatically (自动地) picked up the way they’d followed every day for seven years.(有那么一瞬间，我感到时间崩塌了，我的双脚自动走上了七年来每天走的路)” 可知，作者在20多岁时在伦敦住了七年。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线句上文“At that time, I couldn’t have told you whether I was 24 or 42. The girl from the past and the woman here now were one and the same.(当时，我无法告诉你我是24岁还是42岁。过去的那个女孩和现在的这个女人实际上是同一个人)”可知，作者回到年轻时常坐的伦敦地铁站，瞬间被带回过去的生活轨迹，已经分不清自己是过去24岁的那个女孩，还是现在42岁的这个女人。结合划线部分所在句“When I came out of the station, my body was made to go left — to follow the path home — until my mind corrected it, turned me right, and sent me off into the day.(当我走出车站时，我的身体不由自主地往左走——沿着回家的路——直到我的理智纠正了它，让我往右走，sent me off into the day)”中“my body was made to go left”和“my mind corrected it, turned me right”可推知，身体本能地想要向左走，因为那是过去七年里每天回家的路，但作者的意识纠正了这个方向，使她向右拐，回到现实。因此，划线部分“sent me off into the day”指的是让作者回到现实中。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I asked myself if my 24-year-old self would be proud of me today. Perhaps there would be something that she’d be excited about — the people I’ve worked with and the friends I’ve kept. Maybe that’s what she’d cherish(我问自己，24岁的我是否会为今天的自己感到骄傲。也许有些事情会让她感到兴奋——我共事过的人和保持联系的朋友。也许那会是她所珍惜的)” 可知，如果作者能回到24岁，她会珍视的是与同事和朋友的关系，即友谊。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其结合最后一段中“Looking back also allowed me to remember how big she dreamed and how enthusiastically she believed in things. I remembered her love of fun and how much she enjoyed a party. For a few days after, I found myself turning to Apple Music lists belonging to my 24-year-old self and dancing to them, timelines merging once again. Looking back gives me the energy to move forwards.(回首往事，也让我想起她有多么大的梦想，多么热情地相信事情。我记得她对乐趣的热爱，她是多么喜欢聚会。在那之后的几天里，我发现自己打开了属于24岁自己的Apple Music列表，跟着它们跳舞，时间线再次重合。回首往事给了我前进的动力)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者回忆过去在伦敦生活的经历，并从中汲取能量，激励自己向前看。因此，“Recalling the Past Gives Me Energy(回忆过去给了我能量)”最符合文章主旨，是最合适的标题。故选D项。 （2） A new report has showed that the number of birds illegally trapped and killed in Cyprus increased to more than 400,000 in the autumn of 2023. The report, published by BirdLife Cyprus and supported by RSPB and CABS, details how the number of birds killed has increased by an estimated 90,000 to 435,000. Cyprus is a important stop-off point every autumn. Vast numbers of birds will stop here during their annual migration from Europe to Africa. Many birds touching down are illegally trapped and killed by criminal gangs (团伙), before being old to restaurants where they are eaten as an expensive local dish. Autumn is the main trapping season in Cyprus, as migrating birds have built up their fat. People who illegally eat these bids consider them to be of better quality at this time of year, because of this higher fat content. After returning from Africa in the spring, the birds will reduce most of their fat and are judged to be of lower quality. Since 2014, Cypriot law enforcement authorities (执法机构) and the anti-poaching unit (反偷猎小队) have worked with BirdLife Cyprus, the CABS and the RSPB, which has led to a huge drop in the number of traps found and birds killed. Last autumn, however, the work of the anti-poaching unit decreased. This is thought to be a significant factor behind the 2023 increase in numbers. “Our international premiership has shown that we can deal with this criminal activity together. However, last autumn shows that more still needs to be done,” says Mark Thomas, head of RSPB investigations. “We cannot allow the progress we’ve made to be undone and bird killings to return to the previous annoying levels. By working together, we can make this a thing of the past.” 8. What has been detailed in the report? A. How the number of killed birds increased. B. How the migrating birds are trapped and killed. C. How the anti-poaching unit worked with media. D. How many migrating birds have been trapped so far. 9. What can be inferred from paragraphs 2-3? A. Illegally eating birds is very popular in Cyprus. B. Birds migrate from Europe to Africa all year around. C. Birds returning from Africa reduce greatly in number. D. In Cyprus more birds are trapped in autumn than in spring. 10. What do Mark Thomas’s words mean? A. It’s impossible to control bird killing. B. Teaming up can be more effective. C. The anti-poaching unit did its best. D. More measures should be adopted. 11. What do you think of the bird conservation in Cyprus according to the text? A. It remains challenging. B. It is a model of success. C. It has promoted local tourism. D. It is well-organized. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道2023年秋季塞浦路斯非法捕杀鸟类数量激增至40多万只，主要是候鸟迁徙途中被犯罪团伙捕获后作为高价菜肴出售。尽管近年来执法力度加大，但去年秋季反偷猎工作减弱，导致捕猎数量回升。保护组织呼吁加强合作，阻止这一趋势。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The report, published by BirdLife Cyprus and supported by RSPB and CABS, details how the number of birds killed has increased by an estimated 90,000 to 435,000.(这份报告由塞浦路斯国际鸟盟发布，并得到了RSPB和CABS的支持。报告详细描述了被捕杀的鸟类数量是如何从9万只增加到43.5万只的)”可知，这份报告详细介绍了被杀鸟类的数量是如何增加的。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Cyprus is a important stop-off point every autumn. Vast numbers of birds will stop here during their annual migration from Europe to Africa. (每年秋天，塞浦路斯都是一个重要的中途停留点。大量的鸟类每年从欧洲迁徙到非洲时都会在这里停留)”和第三段“Autumn is the main trapping season in Cyprus, as migrating birds have built up their fat. People who illegally eat these bids consider them to be of better quality at this time of year, because of this higher fat content. After returning from Africa in the spring, the birds will reduce most of their fat and are judged to be of lower quality.(秋天是塞浦路斯主要的捕鸟季节，因为候鸟已经积累了脂肪。非法食用这些鸟的人认为在一年中的这个时候它们的质量更好，因为它们的脂肪含量更高。春天从非洲回来后，这些鸟会减少大部分脂肪，被认为是质量较低的)”可知，秋天，大量迁徙的鸟类都会在塞浦路斯停留，秋天成了塞浦路斯主要的捕鸟季节。同时食鸟的人认为秋天之鸟质量远胜于春天之鸟。由此推知，在塞浦路斯，秋天被诱捕的鸟比春天多。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Mark Thomas的话“Our international partnership has shown that we can deal with this criminal activity together. However, last autumn shows that more still needs to be done(我们的国际伙伴关系表明，我们可以共同对付这一犯罪活动。然而，去年秋天的情况表明，仍有更多工作要做)”和“We cannot allow the progress we’ve made to be undone and bird killings to return to the previous annoying levels. By working together, we can make this a thing of the past. (我们不能让我们所取得的进展付之一篑，不能让杀鸟行为回到之前恼人的水平。通过共同努力，我们可以让这件事成为过去)”可知，Mark Thomas认为通过国际合作可以共同应对这种犯罪活动，但还需要做更多的工作。由此推知，Mark Thomas的意思是应该采取更多措施来加强合作，更有效地打击非法捕鸟行为。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Last autumn, however, the work of the anti-poaching unit decreased. This is thought to be a significant factor behind the 2023 increase in numbers.(然而，去年秋天，反偷猎部门的工作减少了。这被认为是2023年数量增加背后的一个重要因素)”和“Our international premiership has shown that we can deal with this criminal activity together. However, last autumn shows that more still needs to be done(我们的国际伙伴关系表明，我们可以共同对付这一犯罪活动。然而，去年秋天的情况表明，仍有更多工作要做)”的描述可知，虽然执法机构和反偷猎小队已经取得了很大的进展，但是反偷猎小队的工作量在减少，去年鸟类被捕杀的数量在增加，还需要做更多的工作来保护鸟类。所以，我们可以认为塞浦路斯的鸟类保护工作仍然充满挑战。故选A项。 （五） （23-24高二下·四川资阳市·期末统考） Meet Johanna Quaas, a remarkable 98-year-old gymnast from Germany who has been competing since she was 10 years old in 1935.

While my brother chose the path of mastering musical instruments, I was attracted to the field of languages. Growing up in a multilingual household where Chinese, Cantonese, and English mixed, I felt it natural to continue exploring new linguistic possibilities. Languages fascinated me. I was attracted by the way words gracefully rolled off tongues and how each language seemed to unlock a door to an entirely new world, no matter how challenging they were to learn. Eager to try beyond Asian languages, it was my mother who suggested French as a suitable starting point. The elegance and poetic charm of the language quickly attracted me. The melodic flow and the way the words effortlessly danced off my tongue caused an exciting feeling, fueling my desire to explore deeper into its complexity. Interestingly, despite my passion and talent for it, French proved to be the language that took the longest to fully grasp. Nevertheless, I insisted and never gave up expanding my linguistic arsenal (宝库). After realizing that Spanish wasn’t the right fit for me, I found myself addicted to the fascinating world of German. Being enrolled (就读) in a German-speaking school speeded my progress, and two years later, my command of German surpassed my years of studying French. As time passed, I added Latin, Ancient Greek, and Japanese to my linguistic arsenal. It fact, speaking multiple languages is not a mere achievement; it is a joyous celebration of the richness of human expression. For me, it serves as a powerful tool to develop connections with people all over the world. 4. Why did the author’s mother teach her children the importance of acquiring life skills? A.

Matthew McCormack wasn’t dreaming when he came across a delivery robot in the woods of Northampton in the United Kingdom. “I spotted the robot while cycling in Lings Wood,” he told NPR over email. “We have them all over town for grocery deliveries, but I was surprised to see it so far from the shops, so I took a picture of it.” Since McCormack, a history professor at the University of Northampton in England, shared that picture on Twitter, he has been enjoying some minor social media celebrity. He did take a bit of poetic license by tweeting, “On my bike ride this morning, I saw a delivery robot lost in the woods.” McCormack said, “It doubtless knew where it was going and got there eventually, but it did seem curious moving slowly and making a sound along in woodland.” His tweet, which he posted on May 15, has received more than 250,000 likes and well over 17,000 retweets. The company that makes these robots, Starship Technologies, has also been in touch with McCormack since his tweet. Apparently they “absolutely love” his message. But why has this image tickled people so much? McCormack believes it’s because this little lovely woodland robot buddy is a reminder of beloved robot characters such as R2-D2 and WALL-E, he said. “I think the image is resonating (共鸣) with people because it is funny but also amazing,” he said. “We often project personalities onto technology, and these little grocery robots are very cute.” McCormack reports that people have come across this wandering traveler out in the woods. This particular robot seems to favor the wilderness to life in Northampton. 4. Why did the robot in Lings Wood surprise McCormack initially? A. Because it actually lost its way. B. Because it was abandoned there. C. Because it rode a bicycle by itself. D. Because it seemed rare to appear there. 5. What can we learn about McCormack’s tweet? A. It is inspiring. B. It is really poetic. C. It is well received. D. It is delicately written. 6. What does the underlined word “tickled” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Amused B. Defeated C. Frightened D. Touched 7. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. The robot is frequently wandering in the wild. B. McCormack has a special affection for robots. C. Personalized robots own human-like emotions.

(但是为什么这张照片让人们如此……呢？McCormack认为这是因为这个可爱的森林小机器人伙伴让人想起了像R2-D2和WALL-E这样的深受喜爱的机器人角色，他说。)”可知，McCormack认为这张照片之所以让人们很开心是因为这个可爱的森林小机器人伙伴让人想起了像R2-D2和WALL-E这样的深受喜爱的机器人角色，由此可推知，划线单词tickled的意思为“娱乐的”，故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段McCormack reports that people have come across this wandering traveler out in the woods.

He shook my hand, and then went into the house to grab the documents for the car. Later the collector returned carrying a small bag.

The team has reunited 11 missing children with their families. Its AI technology has increased the odds of finding missing children, reduced search time and brought hope to many families. The team was founded by Sheng Jianzhong three years ago, when he was a doctoral student at HUST’s School of Software Engineering. He first thought to restore photographs of missing children when he came across a missing child notice with an image of poor quality in 2020. As he was majoring in digital image processing, he decided to use his skills to help the parents restore their images. However, the development of an image restoration algorithm requires the construction of a large database, which cannot be completed by one person alone. Many like-minded students soon volunteered to join Sheng’s project. After six months of detailed technological research and development, they produced an image restoration AI algorithm that solved the issue of unclear faces in photographs. A restored image can be generated just minutes after an unclear portrait is put into the system, significantly improving the clarity of facial features. Parents are then able to print the high-quality images of their missing children onto T-shirts or large posters. The volunteers have also made tapes and postcards with the restored photos to expand the scale of searches. In the future, Sheng plans to build a more professional team. “It would use technology to help people who have lost their loved ones, and also cultivate more young scholars to work for good causes,” he said. 32. Which word can replace the underlined word “odds” in paragraph l? A. probability B. risk C. difficulty D. number 33. What is Sheng’s inspiration for image restoration? A. More and more children's missing. B. The development of AI technology. C. His major in digital image processing. D. A missing child notice with an unclear image. 34. Which of the following statement about Sheng Jianzhong is right? A. He solved the issue of unclear faces in photos alone. B. After he got his doctor's degree, he founded the team. C. His team hasn't reunited children with their families so far. D. He plans to call on more professionals to participate in the cause. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Family reunion matters most. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. AI helps missing children return home. D. Good causes deserve people's participation. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. D 35.
