I enjoyed eating sweet bread and drinking coffee on my way to work. I loved to eat snacks during work. I went out for lunch every day and ate at night after work. Within two years, I gained about 34 kilograms. I was always unhappy because of my body and felt uncomfortable. In September 2012, I took part in a work event. The host asked us to write down the 10 happiest and 10 saddest things in our lives that year. I couldn’t think of anything happy, but I wrote down 15 sad things. Most of them had something to do with my weight or my unhealthy lifestyle. That day, I knew I had to make a change. The next day I started my weight-loss journey. I tried to change a small thing every day. For example, I added skim milk (脱脂牛奶) instead of sugar to my coffee. I started to make healthy lunches at home and bring them to work. Slowly, I got used to a diet of mostly lean meat (瘦肉) and vegetables. At the same time, I started exercising every day. For example, I would take the stairs instead of the lift (电梯). I also started working out at the gym and at home. After three years, I finally lost more than 30 kilograms of weight. What’s my biggest piece of advice? Start today and make a small change every day. Getting healthy is a lifelong journey and a lifestyle change! 3. Why did the writer decide to lose weight? A. The writer felt tired after work. B.

That day, I knew I had to make a change.”可知，作者意识到超重影响了他的生活。故选C。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I added skim milk (脱脂牛奶) instead of sugar to my coffee”；“I started to make healthy lunches at home and bring them to work.”；“At the same time, I started exercising every day.”并通读全文可知，文中未提到“吃大量水果和蔬菜”。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I couldn’t think of anything happy, but I wrote down 15 sad things.”可知，作者无法写下任何快乐的事。故选B。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“What’s my biggest piece of advice?

To protect them better, zoos now use AI technology in creative ways. At Chengdu Panda Base, scientists put up special cameras. These cameras record pandas all day—whether they are eating bamboo, climbing trees, or sleeping. The AI system studies videos to learn about pandas’ health and daily habits. In the past, keepers used notebooks to record pandas’ habits. This was slow and often inaccurate. Now. AI tools work very fast with few mistakes. For example, if a panda eats less bamboo than usual, the system will send messages to keepers. AI also helps to increase the number of baby pandas. By studying pandas’ sounds and actions, it knows the best time for pandas to become parents. Besides, AI cameras protect pandas from visitors who break the rules. If someone throws food or gets too close to them, AI sounds an alarm right away. This helps to keep both pandas and people safe. However, technologies like special cameras and drones (无人机) bring challenges too. Sometimes they make loud noises or fly close to pandas’ homes, making them scared. And bright lights from special cameras may affect pandas’ sleep patterns. Now scientists are trying to solve these problems and using AI equipment (设备) in a better way. They believe AI will play an important part in saving endangered animals in the future. 7. What is the main use of the special cameras at Chengdu Panda Base? A. To feed bamboo to pandas. B. To record and study pandas’ activities. C. To protect pandas from dangers. 8. What does the underlined word “inaccurate” mean in the second paragraph? A. 不精准的 B. 不正确的 C. 不正常的 9. What can you infer from the passage? A. AI helps pandas to be parents at the right time. B. AI can stop visitors from breaking rules. C. AI problems can’t be solved. 10. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To list the problems of using AI in the zoos. B. To show how AI works in panda protection. C. To ask people to protect pandas. 【答案】7. B 8. A 9. A 10. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了AI技术在保护大熊猫方面的应用及其带来的挑战。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据“These cameras record pandas all day—whether they are eating bamboo, climbing trees, or sleeping. The AI system studies videos to learn about pandas’ health and daily habits.”可知，特殊摄像头的主要用途是记录和研究熊猫的活动。故选B。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“In the past, keepers used notebooks to record pandas’ habits. This was slow and often inaccurate. Now. AI tools work very fast with few mistakes.”可知，此处为新旧两种方式的对比，现在人工智能工具工作速度很快，错误很少，以前速度慢且常常不准确，所以划线部分的含义是“不精准的”。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据“By studying pandas’ sounds and actions, it knows the best time for pandas to become parents.”可推知，AI能帮助熊猫在合适的时间繁育后代。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕AI如何辅助熊猫保护展开，包括监测健康、提高繁殖率、规范游客行为等，同时也提到技术带来的问题，因此主要目的是展示AI在熊猫保护中的作用。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。每个选项仅使用一次。 Many families have old things like clothes, books and toys.

B After college, I started working in an office and began to put on weight. I enjoyed eating sweet bread and drinking coffee on my way to work. I loved to eat snacks during work.

In September 2012, I took part in a work event. The host asked us to write down the 10 happiest and 10 saddest things in our lives that year.

The next day, I started my weight-loss journey. I tried to change a small thing every day. For example, I added skim milk (脱脂牛奶) instead of sugar to my coffee. I started to make healthy lunches at home and bring them to work. Slowly, I got used to a diet of mostly lean meat (瘦肉) and vegetables. At the same time, I started exercising every day. For example, I would take the stairs instead of the lift (电梯). I also started working out at the gym and at home. After three years, I finally lost more than 30 kilograms of weight.

To protect them better, zoos now use AI technology in creative ways. At Chengdu Panda Base, scientists put up special cameras. These cameras record pandas all day—whether they are eating bamboo, climbing trees, or sleeping. The AI system studies videos to learn about pandas’ health and daily habits. In the past, keepers used notebooks to record pandas’ habits. This was slow and often inaccurate. Now. AI tools work very fast with few mistakes. For example, if a panda eats less bamboo than usual, the system will send messages to keepers. AI also helps to increase the number of baby pandas. By studying pandas’ sounds and actions, it knows the best time for pandas to become parents. Besides, AI cameras protect pandas from visitors who break the rules. If someone throws food or gets too close to them, AI sounds an alarm right away. This helps to keep both pandas and people safe. However, technologies like special cameras and drones (无人机) bring challenges too. Sometimes they make loud noises or fly close to pandas’ homes, making them scared. And bright lights from special cameras may affect pandas’ sleep patterns. Now scientists are trying to solve these problems and using AI equipment (设备) in a better way. They believe AI will play an important part in saving endangered animals in the future. 7. What is the main use of the special cameras at Chengdu Panda Base? A. To feed bamboo to pandas. B. To record and study pandas’ activities. C. To protect pandas from dangers. 8. What does the underlined word “inaccurate” mean in the second paragraph? A. 不精准的 B. 不正确的 C. 不正常的 9. What can you infer from the passage? A. AI helps pandas to be parents at the right time. B. AI can stop visitors from breaking rules. C. AI problems can’t be solved. 10. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To list the problems of using AI in the zoos. B. To show how AI works in panda protection. C. To ask people to protect pandas. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。每个选项仅使用一次。 Many families have old things like clothes, books and toys. These things take up much room.
