六、阅读理解
(2025高二下·河南商丘·期末)Whales enjoy throwing seaweed on their heads and holding it in their mouths as temporary toothbrushes, new research from Australia suggests.
Scientists examined the behavior, called kelping, by analyzing aerial footage (航拍镜头) and social media posts of more than 160 whale interactions. They found kelping may also be used as a welcomed body scrub (擦洗) and a way of strengthening social bonds.
Dr Olaf Meynecke, research fellow at Griffith University in Queensland, examined kelping in whales off the coasts of Alaska, mainland USA, Canada, Australia and French Polynesia. While the marine mammals enjoyed rolling around in the seaweed, there was one spot in particular that the whales targeted. “We have evidence of four different species and it seems all prefer to place it on their heads,” explains Dr Meynecke.
The observed species are classified as baleen whales, which have a large sharp whale bone at the front of their mouth to filter(过滤) food, instead of teeth. Dr Meynecke says the whales enjoy throwing bits of seaweed up in the air and “using their heads to swim through it”.
Dr Meynecke was surprised to see the whales diving downwards with seaweed held in their mouths. “One good reason for this could be that it’s actually like a toothbrush, because that part of their mouths is extremely difficult to clean.”
However, Dr Meynecke says it could be a lot simpler. “Kelping can actually happen as a social activity. The team observed three whales sharing seaweed with each other before another two whales came by to check out the scene. It was clear that this kind of interaction with the seaweed was a positive one that was shared with others.”
It has been a solid fact that seaweed has a rich nutritional value for various kinds of fish. However, the team noted the issue of large areas of seaweed dying in the areas where the whales wander, and how highlighting the positive impact of seaweed on the whales’ well-being can help with conservation efforts.
1.How did scientists research the kelping of whales?
A.By studying previous data. B.By interacting with them on the spot.
C.By conducting underwater experiments. D.By observing their behavior personally.
2.What is one finding about the kelping of whales?
A.It helps them filter food better.
B.It functions as a way to attract mates.
C.It sharpens the front bone in their mouth.
D.It allows them to socialize more.
3.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A.Criticize human activities destroying seaweed.
B.Stress the significance of seaweed conservation.
C.Show the damage caused to whale-wandering areas.
D.Explain the nutritional value of seaweed for whales.
4.What is the most suitable title for the text?
A.Why Whales Feed on Seaweed
B.How Whales Improve Their Well-Being
C.How Whales Clean Their Teeth and Bodies
D.Why Whales Throw Seaweed on Their Heads
七、七选五
(2025高二下·河南新乡·阶段练习)In today’s rapidly advancing technological landscape, the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has caused widespread debate and concern. 1 However, a closer look reveals a more delicate perspective. Just as previous technological advancements have coexisted with human capabilities, AI is not a threat to fundamental skills but rather a transformative tool.
2 Just as calculators did not end math skills and typing did not eliminate (消除) handwriting, AI does not signal the end of reading and writing or of education in general. Elementary school teacher Shannon Morris says AI tools like ChatGPT answer questions, and provide personalized content for students based on their interests. 3 Moreover, AI simplifies teachers’ tasks like grading and creating vocabulary lists.
Similarly, AI enhances efficiency for professionals. 4 AI can handle tasks like scheduling meetings, sorting emails, prioritizing daily tasks, and managing social media content. This frees up time for more meaningful and rewarding work. The technology can also help with brainstorming, understanding difficult concepts, finding errors in code, and learning languages via conversation, making complex tasks more manageable.
As Carri Spector of the Stanford Graduate School of Education puts it, “I think AI knowledge is similar to driver’s education: We’ve got a powerful tool that can be a great benefit, but it can also be dangerous. We want students to learn how to use it responsibly.” In reality, understanding and practicing the responsible application of AI isn’t merely an option; it’s an essential requirement. 5
A.They also help with studying and research.
B.When it comes to students, AI aids learning.
C.AI is a powerful tool only when used responsibly.
D.AI is not the final target, but a brand-new starting point.
E.Instead of replacing human employees, it takes over time-consuming tasks.
F.There’s a risk of something very dangerous happening in the next five years.
G.Many fear AI will make traditional skills old-fashioned and affect many parts of life.
