The following are several examples of artificial intelligence. 1. Olly An artificial intelligence assistant named Olly, is more advanced and developed than Siri and Alexa. It is integrated with deep learning and natural language processing features. This technology is said to be quite helpful for people living alone or going through sadness. It can copy the reactions of a friend or companion. 2. Pathai Pathai is a strong example of artificial intelligence that helps pathologists (病理学家) follow the test reports more conveniently. This can help save hundreds of lives by correctly diagnosing and determining the underlying diseases. This interference of AI in the healthcare department has proven to be fruitful for the patients and time-saving for the pathologists. 3. Drone You must have heard the word drone, but AI-based drones are one step advanced from your typical drones. These aerial devices are used for many different reasons. The use of drones has proven to be very beneficial in the military and surveillance sector (监管部门) but it has also started to benefit the average consumer, saving time and relieving traffic jams. 4. GPS GPS is a necessity nowadays. It not only helps to reach far places and areas but also assists in the way. Its artificial intelligence predicts the estimated time of reaching a destination by analyzing traffic situations in real-time. GPS also gathers data from thousands of cars and predicts the best route for every car. 1. Which of the following benefits people feeling depressed the most? A. Olly. B. Pathai. C. Drone. D. GPS. 2. What do Drone and GPS have in common? A. They are necessities in daily life. B. They contribute to smooth traffic. C. They rely on the responses of their owners. D. They are mainly employed by governments. 3. Which section of a newspaper is the passage possibly taken from? A. All About Health. B. Self-driving Adventures. C. The Theories Explained. D.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文。文章讲述了运用AI技术所创新出来的一些技术和产品，可以很大程度地改善人类的生活。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Olly的叙述中“This technology is said to be quite helpful for people living alone or going through sadness. It can copy the reactions of a friend or companion. (据说这项技术对独自生活或经历悲伤的人很有帮助。它可以模仿朋友或同伴的反应。)”可知，Olly对于感觉抑郁的人最有利。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Drone中“The use of drones has proven to be very beneficial in the military and surveillance sector (监管部门) but it has also started to benefit the average consumer, saving time and relieving traffic jams. (无人机的使用已被证明在军事和监视领域非常有益，但它也开始使普通消费者受益，节省时间并缓解交通拥堵。)”以及GPS中“. GPS also gathers data from thousands of cars and predicts the best route for every car. (GPS还从数千辆汽车中收集数据，并预测每辆汽车的最佳路线。)”可知，二者的共同之处为能够促进交通顺畅。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Artificial intelligence is a complex computer science concept. The following are several examples of artificial intelligence. (人工智能是一个复杂的计算机科学概念。以下是人工智能的几个例子。)”可知，本文举例讲述的是运用AI技术所创新出来的一些技术和产品，可以很大程度地改善人类的生活。所以，文章可能来自报纸有关的“创新”板块。故选D。 B In the old-fashioned town of Willowbrook, two friends named Emma and Liam shared an intimate bond. They were inseparable and spent every moment together, laughing, exploring, and creating unforgettable memories. One cold winter morning, as the first snowflakes gently fell from the sky, Emma woke up with a stuffy nose and a sore throat. She tried to brave it and get ready for school, but her body felt weak and achy. Unwillingly, she called Liam to let him know she couldn’t make it to school that day. Liam was concerned when he heard the tiredness in Emma’s voice. “Don’t worry, Em. I’ll take care of everything at school for you,” he assured her. Feeling grateful for Liam’s understanding, Emma forced a smile and replied, “Thank you, Liam. You’re the best friend anyone could ask for.” After school, Liam hurried to Emma’s house, carrying a meal he had prepared for her. He knocked on the door, and Emma’s mother welcomed him with a warm smile. “Oh, Liam, you’re such a thoughtful friend,” she said. “I brought some soup and tea for Emma. I hope it will make her feel better,” Liam replied, some concern in his eyes. Entering Emma’s room, Liam found her curled up under a blanket, looking pale but relieved to see him. “Hey, I brought some comfort food to cheer you up,” he said, setting the food on her bedside table. Emma’s eyes lit up, and she smiled weakly. “You didn’t have to, but thank you. This means the world to me,” she whispered. Sitting by her side, Liam kept her company, chatting softly and making her laugh despite her illness. The warmth of their friendship enveloped the room, bringing a feeling of comfort to Emma’s tired soul. As Emma regained her strength, she realized just how lucky she was to have a friend like Liam. His unwavering presence and kindness had made her recovery easier and brighter. Their friendship grew stronger with each passing day, and from that moment on, they knew they would be there for each other through thick and thin. 4. What does the underlined word “intimate” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Satisfactory. B. Informal. C. Close. D. Temporary. 5. Why didn’t Emma go to school that morning? A. It was too cold to go outside. B. Liam failed to pick her up. C. She was in a bad condition. D. School was closed for the heavy snow. 6. Which of the following can best describe Liam? A. Considerate and caring. B. Brave but lazy. C. Selfless and active. D. Independent but stubborn. 7. What’s the text mainly about? A. Emma’s illness. B. A precious friendship. C. Liam’s company. D. How to help a friend. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了两个好朋友之间的友谊的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段画线词后文“They were inseparable and spent every moment together, laughing, exploring, and creating unforgettable memories.(他们形影不离，每时每刻都在一起，一起欢笑，一起探索，一起创造难忘的回忆。)”可知，两人的关系是很亲密的，划线词intimate的意思是“亲密的”，和close意思相近。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One cold winter morning, as the first snowflakes gently fell from the sky, Emma woke up with a stuffy nose and a sore throat. She tried to brave it and get ready for school, but her body felt weak and achy.(一个寒冷的冬天早晨，当第一片雪花轻轻地从天空落下时，艾玛醒来时鼻子不通气，喉咙痛。她试着鼓起勇气准备去上学，但她的身体感到虚弱和疼痛。)”可知，Emma生病了，身体状况很差，所以没有去上学。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“After school, Liam hurried to Emma’s house, carrying a meal he had prepared for her.(放学后，利亚姆匆匆赶到艾玛家，拿着他为她准备的饭菜。)”和“Oh, Liam, you’re such a thoughtful friend(利亚姆，你真是个体贴的朋友)”可知，Liam是体贴的，考虑周到的，即considerate；根据第六段“Sitting by her side, Liam kept her company, chatting softly and making her laugh despite her illness.(利亚姆坐在她身边，陪伴着她，尽管她生病了，他还是轻声聊天，逗她笑。)”可知，Liam很会关心人，即caring。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“In the old-fashioned town of Willowbrook, two friends named Emma and Liam shared an intimate bond. They were inseparable and spent every moment together, laughing, exploring, and creating unforgettable memories.(在古老的Willowbrook镇，两个名叫艾玛和利亚姆的朋友有着亲密的关系。他们形影不离，每时每刻都在一起，一起欢笑，一起探索，一起创造难忘的回忆。)”可知，文章主要讲的是两个好朋友之间的友谊的故事，因此主旨是B选项“A precious friendship.(宝贵的友谊)”。故选B。 C On Christmas Eve, a team of reindeer (驯鹿) will help Santa Claus deliver gifts to children all around the world. The reindeer, led by their fearless leader Rudolph, won’t be the only ones doing something special. Back in the highest Arctic, their cousins have a remarkable ability changing their eye color. During the summer months, when the days are long and the sun is bright, reindeer’s tapetum lucidum (荧光膜), a mirror-like layer at the back of their eye, appears golden, which helps bounce the majority of light off the eyes, effectively acting like a pair of natural sunglasses. As winter comes, and the days become shorter and darker, the tapetum lucidum turns blue to absorb more light, allowing reindeer to improve their night vision and see clear in low light conditions. With these adaptations, reindeer can adapt and thrive in one of the harshest environments on Earth. Unlike humans, reindeer can see well into the shorter Ultra Violet (UV) range. This UV vision enables them to spot food and predators more effectively in the snowy landscape. Lichens, a key part of their winter diet, absorb UV, so they show up dark against UV-reflecting white snow. Wolf and polar bear fur also absorb UV, so instead of disappearing against snow they pop out in high contrast, allowing reindeer to spot potential threats from a distance. Reindeer change their eyes by adjusting their tapetum lucidum, which is made of collagen fibers. In winter, the collagen fibers become packed tighter, causing the tapetum lucidum to mainly reflect blue light. This change happens when reindeer dilate their pupils (瞳孔). In summer, the reindeer’s pupils return to a smaller size, which helps reindeer reduce the amount of light entering the eye. But their unique adaptation may hurt them. Today, the increasing use of artificial lighting, especially during the winter months, poses a potential threat to their sensitive eyes. It can make reindeer lose their way, affecting their ability to survive in their challenging environment. So it is crucial for us to be mindful of our use of electricity and make efforts to minimize light pollution to ensure the well-being and survival of these magnificent creatures. 8. What do we know from paragraph 2? A. The shape of reindeer’s eyes varies with seasons. B. It is difficult for reindeer to live in low light conditions. C. The tapetum lucidum helps reindeer adapt to seasonal changes. D. Reindeer’s eyes appear golden in winter while blue in summer. 9. What is the use of UV vision for reindeer? A. To help them see clear in dark nights. B. To distinguish food of different colors quickly. C. To protect their eyes from harsh sunlight in summer. D. To better locate food and enemies during snowy days. 10. What does the underlined word “dilate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Relax. B. Expand. C. Narrow. D. Hide. 11. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To call on people to protect reindeer from light pollution. B. To show the reasons for the decline in reindeer population. C. To present humans’ great efforts to reduce artificial lighting. D. To prove reindeer’s strong adaptability to harsh environments. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了北极驯鹿的眼睛会随着季节变化而改变颜色，从而适应环境中的光线量，而且它们拥有紫外线视觉，能够在雪地中更好地发现食物和天敌，但是人工照明的使用对驯鹿敏感的眼睛构成了潜在的威胁，我们应当保护驯鹿免受光污染。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“During the summer months, when the days are long and the sun is bright, reindeer’s tapetum lucidum (荧光膜), a mirror-like layer at the back of their eye, appears golden, which helps bounce the majority of light off the eyes, effectively acting like a pair of natural sunglasses. As winter comes, and the days become shorter and darker, the tapetum lucidum turns blue to absorb more light, allowing reindeer to improve their night vision and see clear in low light conditions. (在夏季的几个月里，白天变长，阳光充足，驯鹿眼睛后部的镜面状的荧光膜呈现出金色，有助于反射眼睛上的大部分光线，有效地起到一副天然太阳镜的作用。随着冬天的到来，白天变短变暗，荧光膜变成蓝色以吸收更多的光线，这使得驯鹿能够提高他们的夜视能力，在弱光条件下也能看得更清楚)”可知，夏季阳光充足时驯鹿眼睛中的荧光膜呈金色，反射大部分光线，冬季阳光减少时荧光膜呈蓝色，吸收更多的光线。由此可知，荧光膜帮助驯鹿适应季节变化。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This UV vision enables them to spot food and predators more effectively in the snowy landscape. (这种紫外线视觉使它们能够在雪地里更有效地发现食物和捕食者)”可知，紫外线视觉让驯鹿在雪天更好地定位食物和天敌。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词的上文“In winter, the collagen fibers become packed tighter, causing the tapetum lucidum to mainly reflect blue light. (在冬天，胶原纤维变得更紧，导致荧光膜主要反射蓝光)”和下文“In summer, the reindeer’s pupils return to a smaller size, which helps reindeer reduce the amount of light entering the eye. (在夏天，驯鹿的瞳孔会变小，这有助于驯鹿减少进入眼睛的光线量)”可知，此处描述驯鹿眼睛中荧光膜在冬季和夏季的工作机制，夏季时瞳孔会变小，减少进入眼睛的光线量。由此推知，冬天瞳孔会变大，增加进入眼睛的光线量，dilate意思应该是“扩大”，与expand意思相近。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Today, the increasing use of artificial lighting, especially during the winter months, poses a potential threat to their sensitive eyes. It can make reindeer lose their way, affecting their ability to survive in their challenging environment. So it is crucial for us to be mindful of our use of electricity and make efforts to minimize light pollution to ensure the well-being and survival of these magnificent creatures. (如今，人工照明的使用越来越多，尤其是在冬季，这对它们敏感的眼睛构成了潜在的威胁。它会使驯鹿迷失方向，影响它们在恶劣环境中的生存能力。因此，对我们来说至关重要的是要注意我们的用电，努力减少光污染，以确保这些出色生物的健康和生存)”可推知，本段主要说明人工照明的使用对驯鹿敏感的眼睛构成了潜在的威胁，呼吁我们保护驯鹿免受光污染。故选A项。 D While many of us might long to just sleep through this entire winter, humans, unlike a lot of other mammals - don’t have the capacity to hibernate (冬眠). But researchers think they have found some tell-tale marks on the fossils, which suggests that early humans may have survived the harsh winter by hibernating. Bears have specialized metabolic (新陈代谢的) processes to protect them from this extended sleep, but sometimes this process doesn’t quite go to plan. For example, hibernators can end up with a host of diseases after hibernation if they don’t get enough food reserves before they go down for the winter. The researchers believe this may have been the circumstance of some human ancestors whose remains with deep cracks in bones were discovered in a Spanish cave called Sima de los Huesos. This deep hole is home to an incredible number of fossils, with archaeologists having discovered thousands of early humans’ skeletal remains that are around 430,000 years old and probably the ancestors of the Sima people or others. In a paper published in L’Anthropologie, two experts argue that the fossils found in Sima de los Huesos show seasonal variations that suggest that bone growth got interrupted for several months of each year. They suggest these early humans found themselves being in metabolic states that helped them to survive for long periods of time in extremely cold conditions with limited stores of body fat. The researchers admit the idea “may sound like science fiction”, but they point out that many mammals including primates (灵长类动物) do this. “This suggests that the genetic basis and physiology for such slow metabolism could be preserved in many mammalian species including humans," state Arsuaga and Bartsiokas. However, Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum in London pointed out that large mammals such as bears do not actually hibernate, because their large bodies cannot lower their core temperature enough. Instead, they enter a less deep sleep known as torpor. In such a condition, the energy demands of the human-sized brains of the Sima people would have remained very large, creating an additional survival problem for them during torpor. 12. Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 2? A. To explain the special ability of bears. B. To provide the background to the research. C. To show the basis of researchers’ evaluation. D. To discuss a new cause of hibernating disease. 13. What can we know about the bones found in the Spanish cave? A. They were badly preserved with deep cracks. B. Their growth discontinued temporarily for some reason. C. Their appearances varied from individual to individual. D. They showed signs of people living in comfort in the past. 14. What is Arsuaga and Bartsiokas’ attitude towards humans’ hibernation? A. It’s quite possible. B. It merely appears in science fiction. C. It’s an exception to human genetics. D. It solved the mystery of humans’ evolution in Europe. 15. What might the hibernation of the Sima people result in according to Chris? A. They might have developed smaller brains. B. Their daily sleep quality might become poor. C. Their body temperature might increase rapidly. D. They might suffer from life-threatening starvation. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科学报道。文章主要探讨了早期人类是否可能通过类似冬眠的状态来度过严冬的假设，并基于化石研究和专家论文提出了这一观点。文章还涉及了哺乳动物冬眠的生理机制，以及早期人类可能如何适应严酷环境等科学内容。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Bears have specialized metabolic (新陈代谢的) processes to protect them from this extended sleep, but sometimes this process doesn’t quite go to plan. For example, hibernators can end up with a host of diseases after hibernation if they don’t get enough food reserves before they go down for the winter. The researchers believe this may have been the circumstance of some human ancestors whose remains with deep cracks in bones were discovered in a Spanish cave called Sima de los Huesos.(熊有专门的代谢过程来保护它们免受长时间睡眠的影响，但有时这个过程并不完全按计划进行。例如，如果冬眠动物在冬眠前没有得到足够的食物储备，它们可能会在冬眠后患上一系列疾病。研究人员认为，这可能是一些人类祖先的情况，他们的骨头上有很深的裂缝，他们的遗骸是在一个名为Sima de los Huesos的西班牙洞穴中发现的。)”可推测，作者在第二段中提到冬眠的熊如果在进入冬眠前没有储存足够的食物，可能会在冬眠结束后患上许多疾病。这个例子的目的是为后文关于在西班牙洞穴Sima de los Huesos中发现的带有深裂纹的人类骨骼化石的研究展示研究者做出这一推断的依据。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In a paper published in L’Anthropologie, two experts argue that the fossils found in Sima de los Huesos show seasonal variations that suggest that bone growth got interrupted for several months of each year.(在《人类学》杂志上发表的一篇论文中，两位专家认为，在Sima de los Huesos发现的化石显示出季节变化，这表明骨骼生长每年会中断几个月。)”可知，这些在西班牙洞穴中发现的骨头的生长由于某种原因暂时中断。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In a paper published in L’Anthropologie, two experts argue that the fossils found in Sima de los Huesos show seasonal variations that suggest that bone growth got interrupted for several months of each year. They suggest these early humans found themselves being in metabolic states that helped them to survive for long periods of time in extremely cold conditions with limited stores of body fat.(在《人类学》杂志上发表的一篇论文中，两位专家认为，在Sima de los Huesos发现的化石显示出季节变化，这表明骨骼生长每年会中断几个月。他们认为，这些早期人类发现自己处于新陈代谢状态，这有助于他们在极冷的条件下长时间生存，体内脂肪储存有限。)”可知，Arsuaga和Bartsiokas在《人类学》杂志上发表的论文中认为，在Sima de los Huesos发现的化石显示了季节性变化，这表明每年有几个月的骨骼生长被中断。这种生长的中断与冬眠动物在冬眠期间的骨骼生长模式相似。因此，他们推测早期人类可能通过类似冬眠的方式度过严冬。这一观点表明他们认为人类冬眠是相当有可能的。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum in London pointed out that large mammals such as bears do not actually hibernate, because their large bodies cannot lower their core temperature enough. Instead, they enter a less deep sleep known as torpor. In such a condition, the energy demands of the human-sized brains of the Sima people would have remained very large, creating an additional survival problem for them during torpor.(然而，伦敦自然历史博物馆的Chris Stringer指出，像熊这样的大型哺乳动物实际上并不冬眠，因为它们庞大的身体不能足够降低它们的核心温度。相反，他们会进入一种不那么深度的睡眠，被称为“麻木”。在这种情况下，Sima人人类大小的大脑对能量的需求仍然非常大，这给他们在麻木状态下的生存带来了额外的问题。)”可知，Chris Stringer作为被采访的专家之一，提到了冬眠可能带来的风险。他特别指出，如果早期人类像熊一样冬眠，他们可能会因为无法找到足够的食物而饿死，因为冬眠期间身体活动几乎停止，能量消耗极大降低，但如果食物储备不足，这将导致生命危险。故选D。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Feeling like what you do is worthwhile is arguably a significant key to a happy life.

David sat at the starting line, his gloved hands holding his wheelchair. With his heart beating, the boy wondered if he would be able to complete the race. His classmates were all there to support him. From a distance, he could see them holding up big banners (横幅) which screamed: WE ARE WITH YOU! ALL THE WAY, DAVID! Heartened, he smiled and waved back. He was not going to let them down. Born with a severe condition that left him paralysed (瘫痪) from the waist down. At six, he underwent several surgeries to improve his condition. As a result, he was able to attend school and even took up sports to help strengthen his bones and muscles. Then, he fell in love with wheelchair racing. Unfortunately, he did not have a lot of coordination (协调) or strength but he had a will to keep going. Once, without warning, his condition took a turn for the worse and it almost destroyed his pursuit of his passion. One day, David’s teachers encouraged him to compete alongside his non-wheelchair schoolmates. Unsure and yet grateful for the opportunity, he thought he should give it a shot. By the time the race was about to begin, the sun had risen. David was glad that he was well prepared. Adjusting the cap on his head and his gloves, David was all ready to protect himself from the heat and the strong strokes to his wheelchair. David’s eyes followed the starter who was waving a red flag. As soon as the gun was fired, David was off. The entire stadium erupted into thunderous cheers. David pushed forward with all his strength, his hands holding the wheels the whole time for the long-distance race. His wheelchair rolled steadily out of the stadium, passing the shop houses. Despite doing everything he could to keep up with the other competitors, David fell behind. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Overhead, the sun continued to burn in the cloudless sky. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He was determined to overcome every single challenge. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version Overhead, the sun continued to burn in the cloudless sky. Gradually, David felt tired and thirsty. His head felt as if it were on fire as the sun was burning through his cap, which was consuming his energy. He was beginning to feel weak. David pushed on, and the heated metal of his wheels burned into his hands. With each passing minute, he was breathing harder. Every single push also made his arms and shoulders ache badly. Despite this, he never thought of stopping. He was determined to overcome every single challenge. Removing his cap and throwing it away, he gathered up all his strength and pushed hard forward. Just at that time, the crowd shouted again, “Go, David, go!” Then, he felt as if he were flying at an unstoppable speed. Ten minutes later, the tape was finally coming into view. Delighted and grateful, he went past the ribbon. The entire stadium was filled with victorious screams because David’s persistence paid off. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了出生就患有严重疾病的David通过参加体育运动来帮助增强骨骼和肌肉，他爱上了轮椅比赛，虽然过程有些坎坷，但最终在老师和同学的鼓励下，在一个星期六的早上，要与不做轮椅的同学一起比赛，同学们都来给David加油助威，在比赛过程中，他用尽全力去追赶其他竞争者的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“头顶上，太阳继续在万里无云的天空中燃烧。”可知，第一段可描写David在比赛过程中有哪些挑战和困难。 ②由第二段首句内容“他决心克服每一个挑战。”可知，第二段可描写David是如何克服他遇到的挑战的以及最终比赛的结果如何。 2.续写线索：太阳灼烧——困难重重——积极应对挑战——同学加油助威——冲过终点——同学们欢呼 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①继续前进：push on/move on ②大喊：shouted/cry out ③聚集：gathered up/collect 情绪类 ①高兴的：delighted/glad/joyful/happy ②感激：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1].

They were inseparable and spent every moment together, laughing, exploring, and creating unforgettable memories. One cold winter morning, as the first snowflakes gently fell from the sky, Emma woke up with a stuffy nose and a sore throat. She tried to brave it and get ready for school, but her body felt weak and achy. Unwillingly, she called Liam to let him know she couldn’t make it to school that day. Liam was concerned when he heard the tiredness in Emma’s voice. “Don’t worry, Em. I’ll take care of everything at school for you,” he assured her. Feeling grateful for Liam’s understanding, Emma forced a smile and replied, “Thank you, Liam. You’re the best friend anyone could ask for.” After school, Liam hurried to Emma’s house, carrying a meal he had prepared for her. He knocked on the door, and Emma’s mother welcomed him with a warm smile. “Oh, Liam, you’re such a thoughtful friend,” she said. “I brought some soup and tea for Emma. I hope it will make her feel better,” Liam replied, some concern in his eyes. Entering Emma’s room, Liam found her curled up under a blanket, looking pale but relieved to see him. “Hey, I brought some comfort food to cheer you up,” he said, setting the food on her bedside table. Emma’s eyes lit up, and she smiled weakly. “You didn’t have to, but thank you. This means the world to me,” she whispered. Sitting by her side, Liam kept her company, chatting softly and making her laugh despite her illness. The warmth of their friendship enveloped the room, bringing a feeling of comfort to Emma’s tired soul. As Emma regained her strength, she realized just how lucky she was to have a friend like Liam. His unwavering presence and kindness had made her recovery easier and brighter.

The reindeer, led by their fearless leader Rudolph, won’t be the only ones doing something special. Back in the highest Arctic, their cousins have a remarkable ability changing their eye color. During the summer months, when the days are long and the sun is bright, reindeer’s tapetum lucidum (荧光膜), a mirror-like layer at the back of their eye, appears golden, which helps bounce the majority of light off the eyes, effectively acting like a pair of natural sunglasses. As winter comes, and the days become shorter and darker, the tapetum lucidum turns blue to absorb more light, allowing reindeer to improve their night vision and see clear in low light conditions. With these adaptations, reindeer can adapt and thrive in one of the harshest environments on Earth. Unlike humans, reindeer can see well into the shorter Ultra Violet (UV) range. This UV vision enables them to spot food and predators more effectively in the snowy landscape. Lichens, a key part of their winter diet, absorb UV, so they show up dark against UV-reflecting white snow. Wolf and polar bear fur also absorb UV, so instead of disappearing against snow they pop out in high contrast, allowing reindeer to spot potential threats from a distance. Reindeer change their eyes by adjusting their tapetum lucidum, which is made of collagen fibers. In winter, the collagen fibers become packed tighter, causing the tapetum lucidum to mainly reflect blue light. This change happens when reindeer dilate their pupils (瞳孔). In summer, the reindeer’s pupils return to a smaller size, which helps reindeer reduce the amount of light entering the eye. But their unique adaptation may hurt them. Today, the increasing use of artificial lighting, especially during the winter months, poses a potential threat to their sensitive eyes. It can make reindeer lose their way, affecting their ability to survive in their challenging environment. So it is crucial for us to be mindful of our use of electricity and make efforts to minimize light pollution to ensure the well-being and survival of these magnificent creatures. 8. What do we know from paragraph 2? A. The shape of reindeer’s eyes varies with seasons. B. It is difficult for reindeer to live in low light conditions. C. The tapetum lucidum helps reindeer adapt to seasonal changes. D. Reindeer’s eyes appear golden in winter while blue in summer. 9 What is the use of UV vision for reindeer? A. To help them see clear in dark nights. B. To distinguish food of different colors quickly. C. To protect their eyes from harsh sunlight in summer. D. To better locate food and enemies during snowy days. 10. What does the underlined word “dilate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Relax. B. Expand. C. Narrow. D. Hide. 11. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To call on people to protect reindeer from light pollution. B. To show the reasons for the decline in reindeer population. C. To present humans’ great efforts to reduce artificial lighting. D. To prove reindeer’s strong adaptability to harsh environments. D While many of us might long to just sleep through this entire winter, humans, unlike a lot of other mammals - don’t have the capacity to hibernate (冬眠). But researchers think they have found some tell-tale marks on the fossils, which suggests that early humans may have survived the harsh winter by hibernating. Bears have specialized metabolic (新陈代谢的) processes to protect them from this extended sleep, but sometimes this process doesn’t quite go to plan. For example, hibernators can end up with a host of diseases after hibernation if they don’t get enough food reserves before they go down for the winter. The researchers believe this may have been the circumstance of some human ancestors whose remains with deep cracks in bones were discovered in a Spanish cave called Sima de los Huesos. This deep hole is home to an incredible number of fossils, with archaeologists having discovered thousands of early humans’ skeletal remains that are around 430,000 years old and probably the ancestors of the Sima people or others. In a paper published in L’Anthropologie, two experts argue that the fossils found in Sima de los Huesos show seasonal variations that suggest that bone growth got interrupted for several months of each year. They suggest these early humans found themselves being in metabolic states that helped them to survive for long periods of time in extremely cold conditions with limited stores of body fat. The researchers admit the idea “may sound like science fiction”, but they point out that many mammals including primates (灵长类动物) do this. “This suggests that the genetic basis and physiology for such slow metabolism could be preserved in many mammalian species including humans," state Arsuaga and Bartsiokas. However, Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum in London pointed out that large mammals such as bears do not actually hibernate, because their large bodies cannot lower their core temperature enough. Instead, they enter a less deep sleep known as torpor. In such a condition, the energy demands of the human-sized brains of the Sima people would have remained very large, creating an additional survival problem for them during torpor. 12. Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 2? A. To explain the special ability of bears. B. To provide the background to the research. C. To show the basis of researchers’ evaluation. D. To discuss a new cause of hibernating disease. 13. What can we know about the bones found in the Spanish cave? A. They were badly preserved with deep cracks. B. Their growth discontinued temporarily for some reason. C. Their appearances varied from individual to individual. D. They showed signs of people living in comfort in the past. 14. What is Arsuaga and Bartsiokas’ attitude towards humans’ hibernation? A. It’s quite possible. B. It merely appears in science fiction. C. It’s an exception to human genetics. D. It solved the mystery of humans’ evolution in Europe. 15. What might the hibernation of the Sima people result in according to Chris? A. They might have developed smaller brains. B. Their daily sleep quality might become poor. C. Their body temperature might increase rapidly. D. They might suffer from life-threatening starvation. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Feeling like what you do is worthwhile is arguably a significant key to a happy life.

David sat at the starting line, his gloved hands holding his wheelchair. With his heart beating, the boy wondered if he would be able to complete the race. His classmates were all there to support him. From a distance, he could see them holding up big banners (横幅) which screamed: WE ARE WITH YOU! ALL THE WAY, DAVID! Heartened, he smiled and waved back. He was not going to let them down. Born with a severe condition that left him paralysed (瘫痪) from the waist down. At six, he underwent several surgeries to improve his condition. As a result, he was able to attend school and even took up sports to help strengthen his bones and muscles. Then, he fell in love with wheelchair racing. Unfortunately, he did not have a lot of coordination (协调) or strength but he had a will to keep going. Once, without warning, his condition took a turn for the worse and it almost destroyed his pursuit of his passion. One day, David’s teachers encouraged him to compete alongside his non-wheelchair schoolmates. Unsure and yet grateful for the opportunity, he thought he should give it a shot. By the time the race was about to begin, the sun had risen. David was glad that he was well prepared. Adjusting the cap on his head and his gloves, David was all ready to protect himself from the heat and the strong strokes to his wheelchair. David’s eyes followed the starter who was waving a red flag. As soon as the gun was fired, David was off. The entire stadium erupted into thunderous cheers. David pushed forward with all his strength, his hands holding the wheels the whole time for the long-distance race. His wheelchair rolled steadily out of the stadium, passing the shop houses. Despite doing everything he could to keep up with the other competitors, David fell behind. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Overhead, the sun continued to burn in the cloudless sky. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He was determined to overcome every single challenge. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
