If you want to know more about them, please click here or visit http://www.buddhanet.net/festival.htm Songkran—Thailand Dates: 13 th-15th, April In Thailand, people celebrate a festival called Songkran, when people head out to the streets with water guns to spray (喷洒) everyone who walks past. It’s a very important traditional celebration in the country. Naghol—Vanuatu Dates: Every Saturday from April to May Every year, villagers come together to celebrate the harvest of yams (甘薯), an important part in the people’s diet in Vanuatu. The festival is most famous for its “land diving (潜水) ceremony”. During the ceremony men and boys dive to the ground from high wooden towers with only two thin vines (藤) tied to their feet. Cherry Blossom Viewing—Japan Dates: The cherry blossom season is different from year to year depending on the weather. The festival is well-known. The Japanese celebrate the days when the flowers finally blossom. Only a few days later, the petals (花瓣) fall to the ground, like pink snowflakes. That means the traditional festival only lasts for several days. In Japan, almost everyone has picnics in the parks to view the flowers. Sinhalese New Year—Sri Lanka Dates: 13th or 14th, April Just like in many other countries in South East Asia, this is the time when people celebrate the traditional New Year, an ancient celebration which marks the end of the harvest season and is one of two times of the year when the sun is straight above Sri Lanka. There are a lot of delicious foods during the celebration. 1. What will most likely happen to a tourist walking in the street during SongKran in Thailand? A. He will get wet. B. He will hurt his feet. C. He will be treated to delicious foods. D. He will see some petal falling. 2. How is Cherry Blossom Viewing different from the other festivals? A. It is a traditional festival. B. It is a very famous festival. C. Its date is different every year. D. It provides visitors with delicious foods. 3. Where are you most likely to find the text? A. On TV. B. In a report. C. On the Internet. D. In the newspaper. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界各地在春天举行的一些精彩节日。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Songkran—Thailand部分“In Thailand, people celebrate a festival called Songkran, when people head out to the streets with water guns to spray (喷洒) everyone who walks past. (在泰国，人们会庆祝一个叫做宋干节的节日，人们会拿着水枪走上街头，向所有经过的人喷水)”可知，在泰国的宋干节期间，走在街上的游客最有可能会淋湿。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cherry Blossom Viewing—Japan部分“Dates: The cherry blossom season is different from year to year depending on the weather. (日期：每年的樱花季节都不同，这取决于天气。)”可知，樱花节与其他节日的不同之处是每年的日期都不一样。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段中的“If you want to know more about them, please click here or visit http://www.buddhanet.net/festival.htm (以下是世界各地在春天举行的一些精彩节日。如果你想了解更多，请点击这里或访问 http://www.buddhanet.net/festival.Htm)”可推知，这篇文章可能在互联网上看到。故选C项。 B When wealthy people pass away, they usually leave instructions for what to do with the money or property that they leave behind. Often, the money and property go to their heirs (继承人). However, in some cases, rich pet owners leave their wealth to their pets after they die. For example, there is a poodle named Toby. When this poodle’s owner passed away, she left Toby 15 million pounds (about $25 million). Then there is Flossie, a yellow Lab mutt, who is not only rich, but is also famous. In 2001, Flossie made the headlines after she rescued her owner, the actress Drew Barrymore and Drew’s husband, from a house fire. To thank Flossie, Drew gave her house to Flossie. Of course, Drew repaired the fire damage first. Now, Flossie is the owner of a beautiful $3 million home. It may seem strange for a dog to own such an expensive home, but Flossie is not the only dog like that. Gunther IV, a German Shepherd, bought his home from Madonna and paid over $7 million for the house. However, this was no big deal for him because Gunther IV has about $200 million! This makes him the richest dog in the world. He inherited the money from his father, who was the heir to the fortune of a German countess. 4. What do wealthy people often leave behind when they pass away? A. Instructions for their pets. B. Instructions for their money or property. C. Instructions for their friends. D. Instructions for their employees. 5. How much money did the poodle Toby inherit from his owner? A. $15 million. B. $25 million. C. $7 million. D. $200 million. 6. How is Flossie’s home now? A. It was burnt down. B. It has been badly damaged. C. It is a newly-built house. D. It has been repaired. 7. Why was buying a $7 million house “no big deal” for Gunther IV? A. He earned the money himself. B. Madonna gave him the house for free. C. His owner paid for it. D. He was the richest dog in the world. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一些富有的宠物主人去世后将财富留给宠物的事例。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When wealthy people pass away, they usually leave instructions for what to do with the money or property that they leave behind.(当富人去世时，他们通常会留下关于如何处理他们留下的金钱或财产的指示)”可知，富人去世时通常会留下关于金钱或财产的处理指示。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For example, there is a poodle named Toby. When this poodle’s owner passed away, she left Toby 15 million pounds (about $25 million).(例如，有一只名叫Toby的贵宾犬。当这只贵宾犬的主人去世时，她留给Toby 1500万英镑（约合2500万美元）)”可知，贵宾犬Toby从主人那里继承了2500万美元。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To thank Flossie, Drew gave her house to Flossie. Of course, Drew repaired the fire damage first.(为了感谢Flossie，Drew把她的房子给了Flossie。当然，Drew首先修复了火灾造成的损坏)”可知，Flossie的家已经被修复了。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, this was no big deal for him because Gunther IV has about $200 million! This makes him the richest dog in the world.(然而，这对他来说没什么大不了的，因为Gunther IV拥有大约2亿美元！这使他成为世界上最富有的狗)”可知，购买700万美元的房子对Gunther IV来说“没什么大不了的”，因为他是世界上最富有的狗。故选D项。 C Have you ever wondered what animals are talking about? With the development of AI, we may be able to understand their languages! In Professor Karen Bakker’s new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants, she talks about how AI is helping us to make an animal version of Google Translate. All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants for example talk with each other using infrasound(次声波)—far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also sends sound waves to attract baby coral to safer areas to grow. This is surprising as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening equipment into these environments to pick up the sounds humans cannot hear. After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meaning, according to the news website Vox. For example, Israeli researchers used AI to translate bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about four things: food, sleep positions, invasion of personal space, and unwanted advances. This technology can not only understand the animals but communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate. A research team in Germany, therefore, put the bee language AI system into a robot bee. They asked the robot to create a dance routine to tell the bees where the flowers were, Vox reported. 8. What can AI do for people in Karen Bakker’s opinion? A. AI helps people better understand animals. B. AI helps animals receive human’s sound. C. AI helps people do translations better. D. AI can help people develop Google Translate. 9. What do we know about the sounds made by animals? A. They can help animals get used to their environments. B. Corals have ears that can hear all animal sounds. C. Some of the sounds cannot be heard by humans. D. All communications among elephants are infrasound. 10. How did scientists tell bees where the flowers were? A. By making a robot bee tell the bees about the route by dancing. B. By creating a certain sound with the AI system. C. By asking a robot bee to teach them a new language. D. By training other bees to lead them there. 11 Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Making an animal version of Google Translate B. Recording sounds with AI C. Receiving infrasound with AI D. Talking to animals with AI 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了人工智能技术可以帮助理解动物的语言。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In Professor Karen Bakker’s new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants, she talks about how AI is helping us to make an animal version of Google Translate.(在Karen Bakker教授的新书《生命之声：数字技术如何让我们更接近动植物世界》中，她谈到人工智能如何帮助我们制作动物版的Google翻译。)”可知，Karen Bakker教授认为人工智能可以制作动物版的Google翻译，让人类更接近动植物世界，由此可推知，人工智能可以帮助人们更好地了解动物。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants for example talk with each other using infrasound(次声波)—far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also sends sound waves to attract baby coral to safer areas to grow.(在动物王国的每一个角落，都有一些我们很难听到和理解的声音。例如，大象之间用次声波交谈——远低于人类的听力范围。海洋中的珊瑚也会发出声波，吸引小珊瑚到更安全的地方生长。)”可知，人类听不到动物的一些声音。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“A research team in Germany, therefore, put the bee language AI system into a robot bee. They asked the robot to create a dance routine to tell the bees where the flowers were, Vox reported.(因此，德国的一个研究小组将蜜蜂语言AI系统植入了一只蜜蜂机器人。据Vox报道，他们让机器人创建一套舞蹈动作，告诉蜜蜂花在哪里。)”可知，科学家让机器人创建一套舞蹈动作，通过跳舞来告诉蜜蜂花的位置。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段中的“With the development of AI, we may be able to understand their languages!(随着人工智能的发展，我们也许能听懂他们的语言！)”可知，本文主要介绍了能听懂动物语言的人工智能技术。故D项“用人工智能和动物交流”适合作为文章标题。故选D。 D There is an ancient Chinese story about a giant man named Kua Fu who chases the sun. He drains the Yellow and Wei rivers during his race and finally dies of delydration（脱水）. His failure has reminded people of the unstoppable power of the sun for centuries. And yet, scientists throughout history have tried to better understand the most important star in our sky. On Aug 12, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe（探测器）, marking the start of its trip to the sun. The probe itself is almost as big as a car and needed the help of a powerful rocket to escape Earth’s orbit, change direction and reach the sun. In order to reach the sun, the probe must complete seven flybys of Venus, using the power of the planet’s gravity to change its path, sending it toward the sun. But that’s not the only difficult part of the journey. As the probe approaches the sun’s corona（日冕）, it will have to bear temperatures reaching 1,400℃, as well as deal with serious radiation. So how will the probe survive? According to NASA, a special shield has been used, which is a special 11.5 cm-thick carbon-composite shield that will be positioned between the probe and the sun’s corona. It’s advanced technology like this that will make the probe’s trip to the sun much smoother. If everything goes as planned the probe will reach a speed of 692,018 kilometers per hour as it moves around the sun, setting a new record for the fastest man-made object in history, NBC noted. It will fly close to the sun 24 times between 2018 and 2025. NBC added. 12. What is the aim of mentioning Kua Fu in the first paragraph? A. To tell the origin of Parker Solar Probe. B. To lead to the topic of researching the sun. C. To show the achievement of ancient China. D. To show the difficulties of studying the sun. 13. How many challenges will the probe meet to reach the sun? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 14. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. The probe will reach the sun in 2025. B. The probe has been protected very well. C. The probe is the fastest man-made object. D. The probe has been prepared well for its aim. 15. What may be the best title of the passage? A. Taking a Closer Look at the Sun B. Discovering the Unknown Puzzles C. The Story of Kuafu Chasing the Sun D. The Scientific Value of Searching the Sun 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【分析】本文为说明文。古有“夸父逐日”的故事，从古至今人们对于太阳的探索也从未止步。近日，美国国家航空航天局发射了帕克太阳探测器，开始了长达7年的探日之旅，人类“逐日”梦想终于要实现了。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。文章一开始提出夸父追日失败。接着下文叙述他的失败，警示人们太阳势不可挡的力量。然而，从古至今人们对于太阳的探索也从未止步。8月12日，美国美国国家航空航天局发射了帕克太阳探测器，开启了探日之旅。由此可知，第一段提出夸父追日的目的就是引出研究太阳的话题。分析选项可知B项符合题意，故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In order to reach the sun, the probe must complete seven flybys of Venus, using the power of the planet’s gravity to change its path, sending it toward the sun. But that’s not the only difficult part of the journey. As the probe approaches the sun’s corona, it will have to bear temperatures reaching 1,400℃, as well as deal with serious radiation”可知，为了接近太阳，帕克探测器需要7次飞掠金星，借助金星引力改变飞行轨道，不断靠近太阳。随着探测器不断靠近日冕，它还将面临1400摄氏度的高温和巨大的辐射。由此可知有三个难题。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。第三段内容“保护罩由厚度为11.5厘米的特殊碳复合材料制成，将探测器和太阳日冕隔开。这项先进技术将会令探测器的探日之旅更为顺利。按照计划，探测器将以每小时692018千米的速度进入太阳轨道，届时将成为迄今为止速度最快的人造物体。在2018-2025年期间，帕克将靠近太阳24次”由此可知，本段主要观点是“为了接近太阳，探测器已准备就绪”，D项符合题意，是正确的。根据内容可知“在2018-2025年期间，帕克将靠近太阳24次”，故A项中的探测器将于2025年到达太阳，故A错误。根据“进入太阳轨道，届时将成为（但现在不是）迄今为止速度最快的人造物体。”而C项“探测器现在是最快的人造物体”故C项错误。本段只是说保护罩的厚度及作用，保护的如何没有提及，故B项（探测器保护得很好）也是错误的。综合分析可知D正确。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段是主旨段，叙述了从古至今人们对于太阳的探索从未止步。近日，美国美国国家航空航天局发射了帕克太阳探测器，开始了长达7年的探日之旅。第二段和第三段主要叙述了在接近太阳时面临的问题，以及解决的方法。文章中的“the start of its trip to the sun.”、“reach the sun”、“approaches the sun’s corona”、“fly close to the sun”等的意思均为“到达、接近太阳”，这与A项“近距离观察太阳（Taking a Closer Look at the Sun）”意义一致，故选A。 【点睛】确定最佳标题的方法。在阅读文章时，要注意文章中反复出现的或强调的信息，寻找与文章大多数内容相关的信息。找出覆盖全文的核心词汇，看选项内容是否切中文章的中心论题。也就是要看选项内容与作者的写作目的是否一致。如第4小题，文章中的“the start of its trip to the sun.”、“reach the sun”、“approaches the sun’s corona”、“fly close to the sun”等的意思均为“到达、接近太阳”，这与A项“近距离观察太阳（Taking a Closer Look at the Sun）”相照应。 寻找文章的主题句。文章主要论题的关键是找到文章的主题句。主题句通常在文章的首段，也可能在文章的末段，在文章的某一段落，或分散在文章的各个段落中。如果每个段落都有主题句，那么把各段落的主题句的中心集中起来，即为全文的主题句。本题在通读全文可知，第一段是主旨段，叙述了从古至今人们对于太阳的探索从未止步。近日，美国美国国家航空航天局发射了帕克太阳探测器，开始了长达7年的探日之旅。第二段和第三段主要叙述了在接近太阳时面临的问题，以及解决的方法。文章中的“the start of its trip to the sun.”、“reach the sun”、“approaches the sun’s corona”、“fly close to the sun”等的意思均为“到达、接近太阳”，这与A项“近距离观察太阳（Taking a Closer Look at the Sun）”意义一致，故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 School days mean homework, studying, exams, and social interactions — not to mention getting up early every morning.

B 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章提供了一些技巧和建议，帮助学生在上学的日子里感到更快乐，强调通过积极的心态和行动可以改善校园生活体验。 【16题详解】 根据空前句子“It’s understandable if you don’t always feel your happiest going to school during the week. (如果你在一周的上学时间里并不总是感到最快乐，这是可以理解的。)”以及空后句子“The following tips can help you feel happier on school days. (以下建议可以帮助你在上学的日子里感到更快乐。)”可知，此处需要一个过渡句，承接前文提到的上学时可能不开心的情况，并引出后文的改善方法，C选项“But it’s also something you can totally improve! (但这也是你完全可以改善的事情！)”体现了这种转折和衔接，符合语境。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据本段小标题“Focus on the good things about school. (关注学校里好的方面。)”可知，本段强调要从积极的角度看待学校，E选项“A little positive thinking can go a long way towards improving your mood.

(如果在学校有人对你不友好，那可能不是你的错。)”与上下文内容衔接紧密，符合语境。故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据空前句子“No one can change your future other than you. (除了你自己，没有人能改变你的未来。)”可知，此处是在强调自己要为未来努力，G选项“Do the best of what you have and try your hardest, also try to have some fun along the way.

However, I had neither after I grew up. Having left my hometown where my family and friends were, I was in a constant up-hill struggle to earn money from temporary jobs as I fought for my acting career in New York and failed again and again. Trapped in self-doubt, I felt lonely and abandoned. “Could my dream ever come true?” I asked myself while I was wandering in a park near where I lived. Suddenly, I heard something familiar. I followed the sound to a small lake and saw some musicians playing their instruments. I sat down to admire the music quietly. After the practice came to an end, I approached a boy who had been directing the band and said, “It is the most beautiful music I have heard!” “Thank you!” he said, laughing. “This is just a community orchestra. If you like, you’re welcome to join. All you need is an instrument. We usually get together on weekends.” “I’ll keep that in mind,” I thanked him and walked back home. On the way, I passed a store and noticed a sign outside the shop: Schumacher Violin Maker. I stepped inside and saw stringed instruments hanging from the ceiling. At the corner of the store lay an old violin. It reminded me of my grandfather’s. “It’s funny that I have never noticed this shop before,” I said to the shop owner and pointed to the old violin. “Do you happen to rent it? I’m afraid I could not afford to buy a new one.” The shop owner shook his head, but asked me to wait for a second after I told him my story. Then he disappeared into a room in the shop. 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。 I stood there, wondering what the elderly man would do. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon came the weekend and I joined the musicians by the lake. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I stood there, wondering what the elderly man would do. A few minutes later, he returned with a case and then put the violin inside. “Take it,” he said. “Go and make your music.” I stood there, surprised, as he handed it to me. Holding the violin, I felt like I’d just woken up from a dream. But it was real—as real as the strings I was touching. Having said thanks again and again, I headed home, with my heart pounding with expectations for the incoming weekend. Soon came the weekend and I joined the musicians by the lake. As we played together, I immediately felt at home. When we were performing in the park, the bystanders cheered and burst into thunderous applause. It was really wonderful to be surrounded by my new friends and I was reminded of what my grandfather had said, “As long as you’ve got music, you’ve got good company.” At the moment, I was full of gratitude to the owner of the violin store. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者小时候与爷爷一起拉小提琴，爷爷的话让作者明白音乐能带来美好陪伴。长大后作者离开家乡去纽约追求演艺事业，却历经挫折，陷入自我怀疑和孤独境地。一次在公园听到熟悉的音乐后，作者结识了社区管弦乐队，并获邀加入。之后作者在一家小提琴店，向店主讲述了自己的故事，店主的行为让作者感到意外和惊喜。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我站在那里，不知道老人会怎么做。”可知，第一段可描写店主回来后对作者的具体行为，以及作者 面对店主行为时的反应和心情。 ②由第二段首句内容“周末很快就到了，我加入了湖边的乐手们。”可知，第二段可描写作者加入乐队后的演奏情况，与乐队成员之间的互动，现场的氛围，以及作者在这个过程中的内心感受和收获。 2.续写线索：作者向店主讲述经历→店主离开又返回并做出决定→作者带着琴回家并期待周末→周末作者加入乐队进行演奏→演奏时的状态与感受→演奏后的感悟与情感变化。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①递给：hand/pass ②突然：burst into/burst out ③前往：head /leave for 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1] Holding the violin, I felt like I’d just woken up from a dream.

If you want to know more about them, please click here or visit http://www.buddhanet.net/festival.htm Songkran—Thailand Dates: 13 th-15th, April In Thailand, people celebrate a festival called Songkran, when people head out to the streets with water guns to spray (喷洒) everyone who walks past. It’s a very important traditional celebration in the country. Naghol—Vanuatu Dates: Every Saturday from April to May Every year, villagers come together to celebrate the harvest of yams (甘薯), an important part in the people’s diet in Vanuatu. The festival is most famous for its “land diving (潜水) ceremony”. During the ceremony men and boys dive to the ground from high wooden towers with only two thin vines (藤) tied to their feet. Cherry Blossom Viewing—Japan Dates: The cherry blossom season is different from year to year depending on the weather. The festival is well-known. The Japanese celebrate the days when the flowers finally blossom. Only a few days later, the petals (花瓣) fall to the ground, like pink snowflakes. That means the traditional festival only lasts for several days. In Japan, almost everyone has picnics in the parks to view the flowers. Sinhalese New Year—Sri Lanka Dates: 13th or 14th, April Just like in many other countries in South East Asia, this is the time when people celebrate the traditional New Year, an ancient celebration which marks the end of the harvest season and is one of two times of the year when the sun is straight above Sri Lanka. There are a lot of delicious foods during the celebration. 1 What will most likely happen to a tourist walking in the street during SongKran in Thailand? A. He will get wet. B. He will hurt his feet. C. He will be treated to delicious foods. D. He will see some petal falling. 2. How is Cherry Blossom Viewing different from the other festivals? A. It is a traditional festival. B. It is a very famous festival. C. Its date is different every year. D. It provides visitors with delicious foods. 3. Where are you most likely to find the text? A. On TV. B. In a report. C. On the Internet. D. In the newspaper. B When wealthy people pass away, they usually leave instructions for what to do with the money or property that they leave behind. Often, the money and property go to their heirs (继承人). However, in some cases, rich pet owners leave their wealth to their pets after they die. For example there is a poodle named Toby. When this poodle’s owner passed away, she left Toby 15 million pounds (about $25 million). Then there is Flossie, a yellow Lab mutt, who is not only rich, but is also famous. In 2001, Flossie made the headlines after she rescued her owner, the actress Drew Barrymore and Drew’s husband, from a house fire. To thank Flossie, Drew gave her house to Flossie. Of course, Drew repaired the fire damage first. Now, Flossie is the owner of a beautiful $3 million home. It may seem strange for a dog to own such an expensive home, but Flossie is not the only dog like that. Gunther IV, a German Shepherd, bought his home from Madonna and paid over $7 million for the house. However, this was no big deal for him because Gunther IV has about $200 million! This makes him the richest dog in the world. He inherited the money from his father, who was the heir to the fortune of a German countess. 4. What do wealthy people often leave behind when they pass away? A. Instructions for their pets. B. Instructions for their money or property. C. Instructions for their friends. D. Instructions for their employees. 5. How much money did the poodle Toby inherit from his owner? A. $15 million. B. $25 million. C. $7 million. D. $200 million. 6. How is Flossie’s home now? A. It was burnt down. B. It has been badly damaged. C. It is a newly-built house. D. It has been repaired. 7. Why was buying a $7 million house “no big deal” for Gunther IV? A. He earned the money himself. B. Madonna gave him the house for free. C. His owner paid for it. D. He was the richest dog in the world. C Have you ever wondered what animals are talking about? With the development of AI, we may be able to understand their languages! In Professor Karen Bakker’s new book The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants, she talks about how AI is helping us to make an animal version of Google Translate. All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants for example talk with each other using infrasound(次声波)—far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also sends sound waves to attract baby coral to safer areas to grow. This is surprising as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening equipment into these environments to pick up the sounds humans cannot hear. After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meaning, according to the news website Vox. For example, Israeli researchers used AI to translate bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about four things: food, sleep positions, invasion of personal space, and unwanted advances. This technology can not only understand the animals but communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate. A research team in Germany, therefore, put the bee language AI system into a robot bee. They asked the robot to create a dance routine to tell the bees where the flowers were, Vox reported. 8. What can AI do for people in Karen Bakker’s opinion? A. AI helps people better understand animals. B. AI helps animals receive human’s sound. C. AI helps people do translations better. D. AI can help people develop Google Translate. 9. What do we know about the sounds made by animals? A. They can help animals get used to their environments. B. Corals have ears that can hear all animal sounds. C. Some of the sounds cannot be heard by humans. D. All communications among elephants are infrasound. 10. How did scientists tell bees where the flowers were? A. By making a robot bee tell the bees about the route by dancing. B. By creating a certain sound with the AI system. C. By asking a robot bee to teach them a new language. D. By training other bees to lead them there. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Making an animal version of Google Translate B. Recording sounds with AI C. Receiving infrasound with AI D. Talking to animals with AI D There is an ancient Chinese story about a giant man named Kua Fu who chases the sun. He drains the Yellow and Wei rivers during his race and finally dies of delydration（脱水）. His failure has reminded people of the unstoppable power of the sun for centuries. And yet, scientists throughout history have tried to better understand the most important star in our sky. On Aug 12, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe（探测器）, marking the start of its trip to the sun. The probe itself is almost as big as a car and needed the help of a powerful rocket to escape Earth’s orbit, change direction and reach the sun. In order to reach the sun, the probe must complete seven flybys of Venus, using the power of the planet’s gravity to change its path, sending it toward the sun. But that’s not the only difficult part of the journey. As the probe approaches the sun’s corona（日冕）, it will have to bear temperatures reaching 1,400℃, as well as deal with serious radiation. So how will the probe survive? According to NASA, a special shield has been used, which is a special 11.5 cm-thick carbon-composite shield that will be positioned between the probe and the sun’s corona. It’s advanced technology like this that will make the probe’s trip to the sun much smoother. If everything goes as planned the probe will reach a speed of 692,018 kilometers per hour as it moves around the sun, setting a new record for the fastest man-made object in history, NBC noted. It will fly close to the sun 24 times between 2018 and 2025. NBC added. 12. What is the aim of mentioning Kua Fu in the first paragraph? A. To tell the origin of Parker Solar Probe. B. To lead to the topic of researching the sun. C. To show the achievement of ancient China. D. To show the difficulties of studying the sun. 13. How many challenges will the probe meet to reach the sun? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 14. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. The probe will reach the sun in 2025. B. The probe has been protected very well. C. The probe is the fastest man-made object. D. The probe has been prepared well for its aim. 15. What may be the best title of the passage? A. Taking a Closer Look at the Sun B. Discovering the Unknown Puzzles C. The Story of Kuafu Chasing the Sun D. The Scientific Value of Searching the Sun 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 School days mean homework, studying, exams, and social interactions — not to mention getting up early every morning.

However, I had neither after I grew up. Having left my hometown where my family and friends were, I was in a constant up-hill struggle to earn money from temporary jobs as I fought for my acting career in New York and failed again and again. Trapped in self-doubt, I felt lonely and abandoned. “Could my dream ever come true?” I asked myself while I was wandering in a park near where I lived. Suddenly, I heard something familiar. I followed the sound to a small lake and saw some musicians playing their instruments. I sat down to admire the music quietly. After the practice came to an end, I approached a boy who had been directing the band and said, “It is the most beautiful music I have heard!” “Thank you!” he said, laughing. “This is just a community orchestra. If you like, you’re welcome to join. All you need is an instrument. We usually get together on weekends.” “I’ll keep that in mind,” I thanked him and walked back home. On the way, I passed a store and noticed a sign outside the shop: Schumacher Violin Maker. I stepped inside and saw stringed instruments hanging from the ceiling. At the corner of the store lay an old violin. It reminded me of my grandfather’s. “It’s funny that I have never noticed this shop before,” I said to the shop owner and pointed to the old violin. “Do you happen to rent it? I’m afraid I could not afford to buy a new one.” The shop owner shook his head, but asked me to wait for a second after I told him my story. Then he disappeared into a room in the shop. 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。 I stood there, wondering what the elderly man would do. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon came the weekend and I joined the musicians by the lake. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
