For example, if you wanted to teach a computer to know different types of fruits, you would give it a lot of pictures of fruits and tell it which ones are apples, bananas, and so on. The computer would then use this information to find out what new fruits are. This process is called “machine learning”. What can AI be used for? AI is already being used in many different areas. For example, AI can be used to:● diagnose and treat diseases; ● drive self-driving cars; ● recommend movies and TV shows according to your viewing history; ● help teachers give marks to papers. The Future of AI In the future, AI may completely change many parts of our lives and help us solve some of the world’s biggest problems. However, it’s also important to remember that AI is just a tool, and it’s up to us to decide how we use it.

Known as the “Golden Section of the Silk Road,” it once connected ancient China to Central Asia. However, over the past 50 years, rapid desertification (沙漠化) has threatened this region. Nearly 30% of the land has turned into desert, forcing many villages to relocate (搬迁) . To solve this problem, scientists and locals have worked together. Step 1: Fixing the sand. They lay straw checkerboards (草方格) across the desert. These grids, made of wheat straw, can reduce wind speed by 50% and trap moving sand. Step 2: Planting trees. Drought-resistant plants like saxaul (梭梭树) are grown in the grids. Their roots can reach 10 meters deep to find water. Step 3: Saving water. Farmers now use drip irrigation systems, which save 60% more water than traditional methods. The government has also taken action. Since 2020, over 20,000 hectares (公顷) of desert have been turned into green land. Drones and AI are used to monitor plant growth. In Minqin County, once called “the place swallowed by desert,” 70% of the desert is now under control. Local people even develop eco-tourism (生态旅游) —visitors plant trees and ride camels through restored grasslands. Future challenges: Climate change and limited water resources remain problems. But as Mr. Wang, a farmer, said: “My grandchildren will see a greener corridor! ” 52. What is the main cause of the Hexi Corridor’s problem? A. Floods. B. Desertification. C. Air pollution. D.

Pencils weren’t popular, and people continued to write with pens. They used bird feathers as pens. Then, in 1795, someone started making pencils from graphite (石墨), and they became very popular. One pencil can write 50,000 English words or make a line 55 kilometers long. People wrote with feather pens and then used pens with metal points. They had to dip (蘸) the point into ink after every few letters. Next, someone invented a fountain pen that could hold ink inside it. A fountain pen can write several pages before you have to fill it again. Two Hungarian brothers, Ladislao and Georg Biro, invented the ballpoint pen. English pilots liked the pens. They couldn’t write with fountain pens in airplanes because the ink leaked out. Later, a French company called Bic bought the Biros’ company.

Nearly 30% of the land has turned into desert, forcing many villages to relocate (搬迁) . To solve this problem, scientists and locals have worked together. Step 1: Fixing the sand. They lay straw checkerboards (草方格) across the desert. These grids, made of wheat straw, can reduce wind speed by 50% and trap moving sand. Step 2: Planting trees. Drought-resistant plants like saxaul (梭梭树) are grown in the grids. Their roots can reach 10 meters deep to find water. Step 3: Saving water. Farmers now use drip irrigation systems, which save 60% more water than traditional methods. The government has also taken action. Since 2020, over 20,000 hectares (公顷) of desert have been turned into green land. Drones and AI are used to monitor plant growth. In Minqin County, once called “the place swallowed by desert,” 70% of the desert is now under control. Local people even develop eco-tourism (生态旅游) —visitors plant trees and ride camels through restored grasslands. Future challenges: Climate change and limited water resources remain problems. But as Mr. Wang, a farmer, said: “My grandchildren will see a greener corridor! ” 52. What is the main cause of the Hexi Corridor’s problem? A. Floods. B. Desertification. C. Air pollution. D. Overpopulation. 53. How do straw checkerboards help? A. By cleaning rivers. B. By stopping sand movement. C. By growing crops. D. By building roads. 54. Why are saxaul trees special? A. Their roots grow very deep. B. They produce delicious fruit. C. They need lots of rainwater. D. They attract tourists. 55. What technology is used to watch plant growth? A. Robots. B. Drones and AI. C. Satellites. D. Underwater cameras. 56. What does Mr. Wang’s words show? A. Anger. B. Hope. C. Disappointment. D. Boredom. 【答案】52. B 53. B 54. A 55. B 56.

A Swiss described a pencil in a book in 1565. He said it was a piece of wood with lead inside it. (Lead is a very heavy, soft, dark gray metal.) Pencils weren’t popular, and people continued to write with pens. They used bird feathers as pens. Then, in 1795, someone started making pencils from graphite (石墨), and they became very popular. One pencil can write 50,000 English words or make a line 55 kilometers long. People wrote with feather pens and then used pens with metal points. They had to dip (蘸) the point into ink after every few letters. Next, someone invented a fountain pen that could hold ink inside it. A fountain pen can write several pages before you have to fill it again. Two Hungarian brothers, Ladislao and Georg Biro, invented the ballpoint pen. English pilots liked the pens. They couldn’t write with fountain pens in airplanes because the ink leaked out. Later, a French company called Bic bought the Biros’ company. Some people call ballpoint pens “Bics.” Australians call them “Biros.” Whatever we call them, we use them every day. 阅读以上材料，根据其内容回答其后各个小题。 41. A ________ described a pencil in 1565. A. Canadian B.

It seems that wind energy is a good choice. Do you know anything about wind energy? The first advantage of wind energy is that it truly is a renewable resource. No matter how much wind we use to produce electricity, we will never reduce the supply(供应) of wind. This is its greatest advantage compared with non-renewable resources like coal or oil. Second, wind energy is a clean source of energy, which means it produces environment-friendly electricity. What’s more, the large towers, which provide the base for the wind turbines(涡轮机), don’t take up lots of space. They can share land with farms. However, each coin has two sides. That is to say wind energy does have some disadvantages. Wind does not provide supply of energy without stopping. Even the windiest places on earth have periods of calm. If there isn’t a strong wind, wind turbines are not able to produce electricity. The large blades of wind turbines can be very dangerous for birds and bats. The turbines cause noise pollution. It can also be bad to people living around. Although wind energy has disadvantages, its advantages shouldn’t be forgotten. 21. People search for ________ to meet their needs according to the passage. A. electricity B. coal and oil C. non-renewable energy D. clean and renewable energy 22. How many advantages of wind energy are talked about in the passage? A. One B. Two. C. Three D. Four 23.

Wind energy also has some disadvantages B. Wind can't provide energy without stopping C. The blades of wind turbines can be very dangerous D. The turbines cause noise pollution while working 25. According to the passage, we know that ________. A. wind energy is a non-renewable resource B. the greatest advantage of wind energy is renewable C. the windiest areas never have periods of clam D. wind turbines can't be dangerous for birds and bats 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. A 24. A 25. B 【解析】本文主要介绍风能发电的优势和劣势。 21.细节理解题。根据“There is a great need to search for clean and renewable(可再生的) energy to meet our needs.”可知，人们在搜索干净的和可再生的能源来满足他们的需求。故选D。 22.细节理解题。根据“The first advantage of wind energy is that it truly is a renewable resource.”；“Second, wind energy is a clean source of energy, which means it produces environment-friendly electricity. ”；“What’s more, the large towers,which provide the base for the wind turbines(涡轮机), don’t take up lots of space.”可知一共是3个优势，故选C。 23.词义猜测题。根据“What’s more, the large towers,which provide the base for the wind turbines(涡轮机), don’t take up lots of space. They can share land with farms.”可知本句说的话题是“large towers”，它们不占空间，可以和农业共用陆地。故“They”指的是“large towers”。故选A。 24.段落大意题。根据“However, each coin has two sides. That is to say wind energy does have some disadvantages.”可知本段主要讲风能也有劣势。故选A。 25.细节理解题。根据“This is its greatest advantage compared with non-renewable resources like coal or oil.”可知可再生是风能相比其他不可再生能源最大的优势。故选B。 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
