Here are four must-visit destinations for bird enthusiasts to capture the beauty of migratory birds in their natural habitat. Haizhu Wetland, Guangzhou Located in the heart of Guangzhou, Haizhu Wetland serves as the city’s green lungs, with rich water networks and abundant birdlife. After years of ecological restoration, it has become a crucial stop for migratory birds. Over 200 bird species can be observed here, making it a must-visit for nature enthusiasts. Recently, a rare ruddy shelduck was recorded in the area. Shenzhen Bay Park Shenzhen Bay’s coastal wetlands are home to abundant fish and shrimp, making it an ideal feeding ground for migratory birds. From October to May, tens of thousands of migratory birds, including the black-faced spoonbill, tufted duck, and northern shoveler, stop here. This park is not only a birdwatcher’s paradise but also a scenic spot for visitors to enjoy seaside views. Xinghu National Wetland Park, Zhaoqing Xinghu National Wetland Park, with its numerous islands, vast water areas, and abundant fish and shrimp, provides an ideal feeding ground for migratory birds. From October to April, the area attracts flocks of migratory birds alongside resident species like the white egret. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of flocks of herons (鹭) in flight while cruising past the wild bird islands. Bird’s Paradise National Wetland Park, Jiangmen Famously described as the “Bird Paradise” by renowned author Ba Jin, Bird’s Paradise National Wetland Park is not only a natural birdwatching haven, but also the largest heron breeding ground in South China, with thousands hatched here annually. Its centerpiece—a 400-year-old water banyan tree—has grown into a 13,000 m² forest, home to tens of thousands of birds. During the breeding season in March and April, many visitors take boat tours along the river to witness Ba Jin’s poetic descriptions. 1. What unique feature does Haizhu wetland offer to birdwatchers? A. A 400-year-old water banyan tree. B. Boat tours during March and April. C. Coastal wetlands with abundant fish and shrimp. D. Over 200 bird species and a rare ruddy shelduck. 2. What do Shenzhen Bay Park and Xinghu National Wetland Park have in common? A. Their wetlands offer abundant food resources. B. They both have clean waters and green shores. C. They are both crucial stops with rich water networks. D. Ecological restoration has made them an ideal feeding ground. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A travel magazine. B.

Recently, a rare ruddy shelduck was recorded in the area.(在此可观测到200多种鸟类，是自然爱好者的必访之地。近日，该区域还记录到了一只罕见的赤麻鸭。)”可知，海珠国家湿地公园有超过200种鸟类和一种罕见的赤麻鸭。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Shenzhen Bay Park部分“Shenzhen Bay’s coastal wetlands are home to abundant fish and shrimp, making it an ideal feeding ground for migratory birds.(深圳湾的沿海湿地拥有丰富的鱼虾资源，是候鸟理想的觅食地。)”和Xinghu National Wetland Park, Zhaoqing部分“Xinghu National Wetland Park, with its numerous islands, vast water areas, and abundant fish and shrimp, provides an ideal feeding ground for migratory birds.(星湖国家湿地公园拥有众多岛屿、广阔的水域以及丰富的鱼虾资源，为候鸟提供了理想的觅食地。)”可知，这两者的共同点是它们的湿地提供了丰富的食物资源。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Here are four must-visit destinations for bird enthusiasts to capture the beauty of migratory birds in their natural habitat.(以下是鸟类爱好者在自然栖息地捕捉候鸟美景的四个必去目的地。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是广东四个绝佳的观鸟胜地，因此可能来自于旅游杂志。故选A。 B Kawasaki disease is every parent’s nightmare. This rare illness causes inflammation (炎症) in blood vessels and can damage the heart of babies and young children. Historically, it has been difficult to diagnose (诊断), until recently, when a young inventor developed an app that can detect it. When Ellen Xu, a San Diego native, was five, her parents rushed her kid sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate, developed a high fever, red eyes, and a rash (皮疹). At first the puzzled doctors guessed that she had a flu. But when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the Emergency Room, where Kate was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. Kate was then treated with antibodies that help boost immunity (免疫力). In time, she shook off the illness without suffering damage to her heart, making her one of the lucky ones. Years later, Ellen, needing a project for a high school science fair, recalled her sister’s illness. “It was a puzzle I wanted to solve,” she says. So, she set out to do just that. Using data, she created an AI-powered app to identify the physical symptoms of Kawasaki disease from a photo. The app works similarly to apps that identify plants or birds. It scans a photograph of the child and looks for signs of Kawasaki disease, such as rashes and a swollen tongue. It’s a brilliant innovation that likely wouldn’t have come about if it all weren’t so personal. Ellen’s innovation earned recognition and soon, her app will be available on the Kawasaki Disease Foundation’s website. What started as a science fair project could now help doctors diagnose the disease faster, preventing heart damage in young children. As for Kate? Ellen says the little girl with the mysterious disease is now a thriving high school junior with dreams of becoming an environmental engineer. And Ellen, now at Stanford, proves that even childhood struggles can inspire brilliant solutions. 4. The underlined phrase “shook off” in paragraph 2 most likely means ________. A. dealt with B. recovered from C. became aware of D. put up with 5. What inspired Ellen Xu to develop her AI app for Kawasaki disease detection? A. Her interest in AI programming. B. Her need for her school science fair. C. Her own battle with Kawasaki disease. D. Her sister’s childhood illness experience. 6. How does Ellen’s app work to detect Kawasaki disease? A. By monitoring the rashes and swollen tongue. B By analyzing photographs of visible symptoms. C. By tracking antibodies that help boost immunity. D. By comparing symptoms with historical patient data. 7. What may be the best title for the passage? A. How AI Is Revolutionizing Rare Disease Detection B. Kawasaki Disease: Overcoming Diagnosis Challenges C. A Sister’s Fight against Disease Sparks an AI Lifesaver D. From Science Fair to Medical Fame: Ellen Xu’s Journey 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Ellen Xu因妹妹患川崎病的经历，开发出能通过照片检测该病的AI应用的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“the illness without suffering damage to her heart, making her one of the lucky ones(这场病并未对她的心脏造成损害，使她成为了幸运儿之一)”可知，她从疾病中恢复过来，故划线词意思是“恢复”。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Years later, Ellen, needing a project for a high school science fair, recalled her sister’s illness.(多年以后，Ellen为了参加高中科学展而需要准备一个项目，于是她想起了妹妹的病)”可知，Ellen Xu开发这款用于检测川崎病的人工智能应用程序的灵感来自她妹妹儿时患病的经历。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The app works similarly to apps that identify plants or birds. It scans a photograph of the child and looks for signs of Kawasaki disease, such as rashes and a swollen tongue. It’s a brilliant innovation that likely wouldn’t have come about if it all weren’t so personal.(这款应用程序的运作方式与那些用于识别植物或鸟类的应用程序类似。它会扫描孩子的照片，寻找川崎病的迹象，比如皮疹和肿胀的舌头。这是一个非常出色的创新成果，如果不是因为其高度个性化的特点，可能就不会出现这样的产品)”可知，这款应用程序通过分析可见症状的照片检测川崎病。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Kawasaki disease is every parent’s nightmare. This rare illness causes inflammation in blood vessels and can damage the heart of babies and young children. Historically, it has been difficult to diagnose, until recently, when a young inventor developed an app that can detect it.(川崎病是每个家长的噩梦。这种罕见的疾病会导致血管发炎，并可能损害婴儿和幼儿的心脏。过去，由于诊断困难，这种情况一直未得到重视。直到最近，一位年轻的发明家开发出了一款应用程序，能够检测出这种疾病)”结合文章主要说明了Ellen Xu因妹妹患川崎病的经历，开发出能通过照片检测该病的AI应用的故事可知，C选项“妹妹与疾病的抗争催生了人工智能救生设备”最符合文章标题。故选C。 C Most of us have some “gut feelings” that we can’t explain. For example, when we hunt for a new house, we might suddenly like it a lot or dislike it right away. Or when we meet new people, we make instant judgements on them without careful thought. Research done by Leeds University shows that these feelings, or intuitions, are real and we should take them seriously. According to the research, intuition is the result of the way our brains store, process and obtain information on a subconscious (潜意识的) level, and so is a real psychological phenomenon that needs further study to help us unlock its potential. There are many cases where intuition prevented major disasters, and cases of remarkable recoveries when doctors followed their gut feelings. Yet, science has historically questioned the concept of intuition, labelling it as “anti-scientific”. Through analysis of a wide range of research papers examining the phenomenon, researchers have concluded that intuition is the brain drawing on past experiences and external cues to decide — but one that happens so fast that the reaction is on a non-conscious level. All we’re aware of is a general feeling that something is right or wrong. Researchers believe that people usually experience true intuition when they are under severe time pressure or in a situation of information overload or acute danger, where conscious analysis of the situation may be difficult or impossible. They cite a Formula One driver, who once braked suddenly before a sharp U-turn without knowing why. This automatic reaction saved him from crashing into a pile of cars ahead, likely preventing a fatal accident. Though he couldn’t explain his urge to stop, it overrode his competitive drive to win. After psychologists showed the driver a video replay, he realized at that very moment the crowd wasn’t cheering as usual — they stood frozen, staring in the opposite direction as he approached the U-turn. That was the cue. He didn’t consciously process this, but he knew something was wrong and stopped in time. Researchers believe that all intuitive experiences are based on the automatic evaluation of such internal and external cues. They say that we clearly need both conscious and non - conscious thought processes, but neither is superior to the other. 8. What does the research from Leeds University indicate? A. Gut feelings are not reliable in daily life. B. People ought to trust their intuitive feelings. C. Intuition is just a random psychological response. D. Intuitive responses often lead to wrong decisions. 9. According to Paragraph 3, what can we infer about intuition? A. Intuition is a random guess with no logical basis. B. Intuition only works in life - threatening situations. C. Intuition relies on conscious analysis of visible dangers. D. Intuition involves subconscious processing of external cues. 10. Which of the following real-life situations best illustrates the application of intuition? A. A shopper picks a product simply because its package looks attractive. B. A firefighter suddenly reroutes a rescue mission after sensing some hidden risks. C. A student solves math problems by strictly following formulas and logical reasoning. D. A student quickly guesses random answers without consideration during a timed quiz. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article? A. To describe how brains process external cues. B. To criticize the overuse of intuition in daily life. C. To compare conscious and subconscious thinking. D. To explain the scientific basis and value of intuition. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了利兹大学研究表明直觉真实存在且应被重视，其源于大脑潜意识处理信息，在紧急情况起作用，与有意识思考同等重要。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Research done by Leeds University shows that these feelings, or intuitions, are real and we should take them seriously. (利兹大学的研究表明，这些感受或直觉是真实存在的，我们应当认真对待它们。)”可知，利兹大学的研究结果表明人们应当相信自己的直觉感受。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Through analysis of a wide range of research papers examining the phenomenon, researchers have concluded that intuition is the brain drawing on past experiences and external cues to decide — but one that happens so fast that the reaction is on a non-conscious level. (通过对大量研究论文的分析（这些论文探讨了这一现象），研究人员得出结论：直觉是大脑依据过往经验和外部线索来做出判断的——但这种判断过程极其迅速，以至于反应是在无意识的层面上发生的。)”可知，感性认识涉及对外部信息的潜意识处理。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Researchers believe that people usually experience true intuition when they are under severe time pressure or in a situation of information overload or acute danger, where conscious analysis of the situation may be difficult or impossible. They cite a Formula One driver, who once braked suddenly before a sharp U-turn without knowing why. This automatic reaction saved him from crashing into a pile of cars ahead, likely preventing a fatal accident. (研究人员认为，人们在面临巨大时间压力、信息过载或极度危险的状况时，往往会产生真正的直觉。在这种情况下，对具体情况的理性分析可能变得困难或根本无法进行。他们举了一个一级方程式赛车手的例子，该车手曾在一次急转弯前突然刹车，但当时他并不知道原因。这种本能反应使他避免了撞上前方一堆汽车的危险，很可能避免了一场致命事故。)”可知，直觉是潜意识基于过往经验和外部线索快速反应，常出现在时间紧迫或危险情境中。而一名消防员在察觉到一些潜在危险后，突然改变了救援计划最能体现直觉的应用。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Most of us have some “gut feelings” that we can’t explain. For example, when we hunt for a new house, we might suddenly like it a lot or dislike it right away. Or when we meet new people, we make instant judgements on them without careful thought. Research done by Leeds University shows that these feelings, or intuitions, are real and we should take them seriously. (我们大多数人都有一些难以解释的“直觉感受”。比如，在寻找新房子时，我们可能会突然非常喜欢它或者立刻就讨厌它。又或者在遇到新朋友时，我们会未经深思就对对方立刻做出评价。利兹大学的研究表明，这些感受或直觉是真实存在的，我们应当认真对待它们。)”结合文章主要说明了利兹大学研究表明直觉真实存在且应被重视，其源于大脑潜意识处理信息，在紧急情况起作用，与有意识思考同等重要。可知，作者撰写这篇文章的主要目的是阐释直觉的科学依据及其价值。故选D。 D The Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence recently announced that Tianjin University’s joint research project on “Key Technologies and Applications of Low-Altitude Intelligent Perception (低空智能感知)” has won the 2024 Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology Progress Award. This breakthrough addresses three major challenges in drone perception — poor visibility in bad weather, imaging inaccuracy during high — speed flight, and limited observation angles — marking significant progress in China’s low-altitude economy development. Despite drones’ growing roles in disaster relief and border patrols, their practical applications have been restricted by environmental factors. Professor Hu Qinghua explained that rain, snow, and fog could reduce image recognition accuracy by up to 60%, while single drones often miss critical spatial (空间的) information. The research team tackled these issues through three innovative solutions: all-weather sensing technology, self-improving algorithms (算法), and multi-drone cooperation systems. The team established a “two-way coupling between degradation and restoration” theoretical framework, enabling clearer image recovery in complex conditions. By creating multi-sensor engines and dynamic closed-loop systems, which use feedback to automatically adjust their actions and maintain desired conditions, they improved target tracking precision by 6.3% during sandstorms and enhanced low-light detection capability by 13.2%. Their self-evolving perception model, trained using China’s largest low-altitude visual database VisDrone and supported by Tianjin’s Ascend computing center, addresses data blurring caused by rapid movement through real-time quality enhancement. Practical applications have shown remarkable results. Drone fleets can now locate fire sources through thick smoke during forest fires, while agricultural plant protection drones achieve centimeter-level pesticide spraying accuracy. During flood rescue operations, 30 coordinated drones successfully tracked three speeding vehicles at the same time in heavy rain, achieving 85.6% tracking success rates. These technologies are sold as smart systems for single drones and systems for drone teams working together, earning over 2.8 billion yuan by selling 340,000 devices. Experts predict wider applications in smart city management and ecological protection as 5G networks expand. This innovation is expected to reshape airspace resource application patterns, potentially creating a trillion-yuan market in China’s emerging low-altitude economy. 12. What major limitations did drones face before this technological breakthrough? A. Battery drain during complex data processing. B. Sensor degradation in high-altitude environments. C. Image recognition failures under different weather conditions. D. Limited wireless communication capabilities in mountainous regions. 13. Which method improved drones’ work in sandstorms? A. Using special camera filters. B. Making camera lenses lighter. C. Creating systems that self-adjust. D. Programming AI to remove dust. 14. How has the innovation enhanced agricultural applications of drones? A. By enabling precise chemical spraying. B. By improving image recognition accuracy. C. By enabling centimeter-level detection accuracy. D. By using a self-evolving algorithm for pesticide spraying. 15. What can be inferred about the future development of drone technology? A. It will be widely applied due to its high profitability. B. It will be sold as smart systems in ecological conservation. C. It will soon replace manned aircraft in disaster rescue operations. D. It will contribute to the reform of airspace resource application patterns. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是天津大学牵头开展的“低空智能感知关键技术及应用”联合研究项目取得的重大突破。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Professor Hu Qinghua explained that rain, snow, and fog could reduce image recognition accuracy by up to 60%, while single drones often miss critical spatial (空间) information. The research team tackled these issues through three innovative solutions: all-weather sensing technology, self-improving algorithms (算法), and multi-drone cooperation systems. (胡清华教授解释称，雨、雪、雾等天气会使图像识别准确率降低多达60%，而单一无人机往往难以捕捉关键空间信息。研究团队通过三大创新方案攻克了这些难题：全天候传感技术、自优化算法及多无人机协同系统。)”可知，在这项技术突破之前，无人机面临的主要局限性是不同天气条件下的图像识别失败。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“By creating multi-sensor engines and dynamic closed-loop systems, which use feedback to automatically adjust their actions and maintain desired conditions, they improved target tracking precision by 6.3% during sandstorms and enhanced low-light detection capability by 13.2%.

Normally, this was followed by feelings of worry about the day ahead. But today was different. Today he couldn’t wait to go to school. He rushed to his desk and picked up the old jam jar which contained a colourful butterfly. It had taken him hours to catch and now it was going to be part of his biology presentation for school. While most of his classmates would be showing drawings of insects or animals taken from textbooks, Mike planned to present something different — a live creature. This was sure to get him the highest grade in the class. Mike sat at his desk admiring the insect’s beautiful red and yellow wings. He had made air holes in the jar’s lid, and added leaves for the butterfly to eat. It might be in a glass prison but at least it was being well cared for, Mike thought as he left for school. Mike entered the classroom early, and put the jar in his desk. Biology was the first lesson after lunch and he wanted his presentation to be a surprise. After taking the jar from his bag, he noticed the butterfly was very still. Its wings moved very slowly and its colour seemed to have faded too. Probably just a little tired from the trip in the bag, Mike hoped. Throughout the morning, Mike secretly checked on the insect. Each time it seemed a little stiller, its colour a little duller. Something was wrong. When the lunch-bell rang, he waited for his classmates to leave before opening the jar. The butterfly was still alive, but only just. He took the jar to the bathroom and sprinkled a few drops of water on the butterfly’s head. The cooling effect was instant. The butterfly came to life again and Mike barely managed to replace the lid before the butterfly flew out. But rather than pleasure, the sight of the revived butterfly crashing against the jar, desperate for freedom, made Mike feel guilty. He was being cruel for a mark. As he walked back to class, feeling ashamed, the bell went again. It was time for Biology. He walked over to the window, opened the jar and set the butterfly free. A moment later the biology teacher entered. “Mike, your presentation’s first today.” “Sorry sir,” the boy replied, “I forgot all about it.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The teacher noticed an empty jam jar in Mike’s hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After hearing what the teacher said, Mike could hardly believe his ears. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible Version 1: The teacher noticed an empty jam jar in Mike’s hand. “What happened to your presentation, Mike?” Mr. Thompson asked, raising an eyebrow. Mike hesitated, then confessed. “I... I set the butterfly free. It wasn’t right to keep it trapped.” To his surprise, the teacher nodded. “Sometimes the best lessons aren’t about grades,” he said, “but about understanding life.” After hearing what the teacher said, Mike could hardly believe his ears. Instead of scolding him, Mr. Thompson invited Mike to share his experience with the class. With shaky hands, Mike stood up. “I thought catching a butterfly would make my project special,” he admitted, “but watching it struggle made me realize that we shouldn’t hurt living things just to impress others.” The classroom fell silent, then burst into applause. Later, Mike wrote a new report titled “Respect Over Grades”. Possible Version 2: The teacher noticed the empty jar in Mike’s hand. Mike froze, his sweaty hands almost dropping it. He expected a scolding for his failed project, but the teacher smiled gently. “You set the butterfly fre e, didn’t you?” Mike nodded, his face turning red. Instead of getting angry, the teacher patted his shoulder. “This shows you understand something more important than grades,” he said. Mike’s heart pounded —this wasn’t how he imagined the conversation would go. After hearing what the teacher said, Mike could hardly believe his ears. The teacher’s words gave Mike unexpected courage. Standing before the class, he shared his story simply: “I couldn’t hurt the butterfly for a grade.” To his surprise, classmates nodded thoughtfully. One even said, “That was brave!” Though Mike received no grade that day, he learned a real lesson about respecting life — a truth that would stay with him long after school. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了迈克为生物课抓来蝴蝶做展示，想以此得高分。但他发现蝴蝶在罐中愈发萎靡，复苏后挣扎着渴望自由，这让他心生愧疚，于是将其放生。老师不仅没责备他，还肯定了他的做法。迈克向全班分享感悟，明白不应为成绩伤害生命，随后写了新报告《尊重高于分数》。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“老师看到迈克手里拿着一个空的果酱罐。”可知，第一段可描写迈克坦白自己放飞了蝴蝶。 ②由第二段首句内容“听了老师的话，迈克简直不敢相信自己的耳朵。”可知，第二段可描写老师不仅没责备他，还肯定了他的做法。迈克向全班分享感悟，明白不应为成绩伤害生命，随后写了新报告《尊重高于分数》。 2.续写线索：老师询问迈克——迈克坦白——老师肯定做法——迈克感动——迈克分享——全班鼓掌——迈克写新报告 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①责备：scold/blame ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③承认：admit/acknowledge 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②沉默：silent/speechless 【点睛】[高分句型1] “I thought catching a butterfly would make my project special,” he admitted, “but watching it struggle made me realize that we shouldn’t hurt living things just to impress others.”(运用了that引导宾语从句) [高分句型2] Later, Mike wrote a new report titled “Respect Over Grades”.(运用了过去分词作定语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024学年第二学期越秀区学业水平调研测试 高二英语 满分120分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、试室号、座位号填写在答题卡上，并用 2B 铅笔填涂答题卡上的相应位置。因不考听力，试卷从第二部分的 “阅读理解” 开始，试题序号从 “21” 开始。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 3. 回答非选择题时，必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡指定区域的相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新答案；不准使用铅笔、圆珠笔或涂改液。写在本试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） A Guangdong is home to many excellent birdwatching destinations, from coastal flats to quiet wetlands. Here are four must-visit destinations for bird enthusiasts to capture the beauty of migratory birds in their natural habitat. Haizhu Wetland, Guangzhou Located in the heart of Guangzhou, Haizhu Wetland serves as the city’s green lungs, with rich water networks and abundant birdlife. After years of ecological restoration, it has become a crucial stop for migratory birds. Over 200 bird species can be observed here, making it a must-visit for nature enthusiasts. Recently, a rare ruddy shelduck was recorded in the area. Shenzhen Bay Park Shenzhen Bay’s coastal wetlands are home to abundant fish and shrimp, making it an ideal feeding ground for migratory birds. From October to May, tens of thousands of migratory birds, including the black-faced spoonbill, tufted duck, and northern shoveler, stop here. This park is not only a birdwatcher’s paradise but also a scenic spot for visitors to enjoy seaside views. Xinghu National Wetland Park, Zhaoqing Xinghu National Wetland Park, with its numerous islands, vast water areas, and abundant fish and shrimp, provides an ideal feeding ground for migratory birds. From October to April, the area attracts flocks of migratory birds alongside resident species like the white egret. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of flocks of herons (鹭) in flight while cruising past the wild bird islands. Bird’s Paradise National Wetland Park, Jiangmen Famously described as the “Bird Paradise” by renowned author Ba Jin, Bird’s Paradise National Wetland Park is not only a natural birdwatching haven, but also the largest heron breeding ground in South China, with thousands hatched here annually. Its centerpiece—a 400-year-old water banyan tree—has grown into a 13,000 m² forest, home to tens of thousands of birds. During the breeding season in March and April, many visitors take boat tours along the river to witness Ba Jin’s poetic descriptions. 1. What unique feature does Haizhu wetland offer to birdwatchers? A. A 400-year-old water banyan tree. B. Boat tours during March and April. C. Coastal wetlands with abundant fish and shrimp. D. Over 200 bird species and a rare ruddy shelduck. 2. What do Shenzhen Bay Park and Xinghu National Wetland Park have in common? A. Their wetlands offer abundant food resources. B. They both have clean waters and green shores. C. They are both crucial stops with rich water networks. D. Ecological restoration has made them an ideal feeding ground. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A travel magazine. B. An ecological report. C. An academic journal. D. A geography textbook. B Kawasaki disease is every parent’s nightmare. This rare illness causes inflammation (炎症) in blood vessels and can damage the heart of babies and young children. Historically, it has been difficult to diagnose (诊断), until recently, when a young inventor developed an app that can detect it. When Ellen Xu, a San Diego native, was five, her parents rushed her kid sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate, developed a high fever, red eyes, and a rash (皮疹). At first the puzzled doctors guessed that she had a flu. But when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the Emergency Room, where Kate was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. Kate was then treated with antibodies that help boost immunity (免疫力). In time, she shook off the illness without suffering damage to her heart, making her one of the lucky ones. Years later, Ellen, needing a project for a high school science fair, recalled her sister’s illness. “It was a puzzle I wanted to solve,” she says. So, she set out to do just that. Using data, she created an AI-powered app to identify the physical symptoms of Kawasaki disease from a photo. The app works similarly to apps that identify plants or birds. It scans a photograph of the child and looks for signs of Kawasaki disease, such as rashes and a swollen tongue. It’s a brilliant innovation that likely wouldn’t have come about if it all weren’t so personal. Ellen’s innovation earned recognition, and soon, her app will be available on the Kawasaki Disease Foundation’s website. What started as a science fair project could now help doctors diagnose the disease faster, preventing heart damage in young children. As for Kate? Ellen says the little girl with the mysterious disease is now a thriving high school junior with dreams of becoming an environmental engineer. And Ellen, now at Stanford, proves that even childhood struggles can inspire brilliant solutions. 4. The underlined phrase “shook off” in paragraph 2 most likely means ________. A. dealt with B. recovered from C. became aware of D. put up with 5. What inspired Ellen Xu to develop her AI app for Kawasaki disease detection? A. Her interest in AI programming. B. Her need for her school science fair. C. Her own battle with Kawasaki disease. D. Her sister’s childhood illness experience. 6. How does Ellen’s app work to detect Kawasaki disease? A. By monitoring the rashes and swollen tongue. B By analyzing photographs of visible symptoms. C. By tracking antibodies that help boost immunity. D. By comparing symptoms with historical patient data. 7. What may be the best title for the passage? A. How AI Is Revolutionizing Rare Disease Detection B. Kawasaki Disease: Overcoming Diagnosis Challenges C. A Sister’s Fight against Disease Sparks an AI Lifesaver D. From Science Fair to Medical Fame: Ellen Xu’s Journey C Most of us have some “gut feelings” that we can’t explain. For example, when we hunt for a new house, we might suddenly like it a lot or dislike it right away. Or when we meet new people, we make instant judgements on them without careful thought. Research done by Leeds University shows that these feelings, or intuitions, are real and we should take them seriously. According to the research, intuition is the result of the way our brains store, process and obtain information on a subconscious (潜意识的) level, and so is a real psychological phenomenon that needs further study to help us unlock its potential. There are many cases where intuition prevented major disasters, and cases of remarkable recoveries when doctors followed their gut feelings. Yet, science has historically questioned the concept of intuition, labelling it as “anti-scientific”. Through analysis of a wide range of research papers examining the phenomenon, researchers have concluded that intuition is the brain drawing on past experiences and external cues to decide — but one that happens so fast that the reaction is on a non-conscious level. All we’re aware of is a general feeling that something is right or wrong. Researchers believe that people usually experience true intuition when they are under severe time pressure or in a situation of information overload or acute danger, where conscious analysis of the situation may be difficult or impossible. They cite a Formula One driver, who once braked suddenly before a sharp U-turn without knowing why. This automatic reaction saved him from crashing into a pile of cars ahead, likely preventing a fatal accident. Though he couldn’t explain his urge to stop, it overrode his competitive drive to win. After psychologists showed the driver a video replay, he realized at that very moment the crowd wasn’t cheering as usual — they stood frozen, staring in the opposite direction as he approached the U-turn. That was the cue. He didn’t consciously process this, but he knew something was wrong and stopped in time. Researchers believe that all intuitive experiences are based on the automatic evaluation of such internal and external cues. They say that we clearly need both conscious and non - conscious thought processes, but neither is superior to the other. 8. What does the research from Leeds University indicate? A. Gut feelings are not reliable in daily life. B. People ought to trust their intuitive feelings. C. Intuition is just a random psychological response. D. Intuitive responses often lead to wrong decisions. 9. According to Paragraph 3, what can we infer about intuition? A. Intuition is a random guess with no logical basis. B. Intuition only works in life - threatening situations. C. Intuition relies on conscious analysis of visible dangers. D. Intuition involves subconscious processing of external cues. 10. Which of the following real-life situations best illustrates the application of intuition? A. A shopper picks a product simply because its package looks attractive. B. A firefighter suddenly reroutes a rescue mission after sensing some hidden risks. C. A student solves math problems by strictly following formulas and logical reasoning. D. A student quickly guesses random answers without consideration during a timed quiz. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article? A. To describe how brains process external cues. B. To criticize the overuse of intuition in daily life. C. To compare conscious and subconscious thinking. D. To explain the scientific basis and value of intuition. D The Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence recently announced that Tianjin University’s joint research project on “Key Technologies and Applications of Low-Altitude Intelligent Perception (低空智能感知)” has won the 2024 Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology Progress Award. This breakthrough addresses three major challenges in drone perception — poor visibility in bad weather, imaging inaccuracy during high — speed flight, and limited observation angles — marking significant progress in China’s low-altitude economy development. Despite drones’ growing roles in disaster relief and border patrols, their practical applications have been restricted by environmental factors. Professor Hu Qinghua explained that rain, snow, and fog could reduce image recognition accuracy by up to 60%, while single drones often miss critical spatial (空间的) information. The research team tackled these issues through three innovative solutions: all-weather sensing technology, self-improving algorithms (算法), and multi-drone cooperation systems. The team established a “two-way coupling between degradation and restoration” theoretical framework, enabling clearer image recovery in complex conditions. By creating multi-sensor engines and dynamic closed-loop systems, which use feedback to automatically adjust their actions and maintain desired conditions, they improved target tracking precision by 6.3% during sandstorms and enhanced low-light detection capability by 13.2%. Their self-evolving perception model, trained using China’s largest low-altitude visual database VisDrone and supported by Tianjin’s Ascend computing center, addresses data blurring caused by rapid movement through real-time quality enhancement. Practical applications have shown remarkable results. Drone fleets can now locate fire sources through thick smoke during forest fires, while agricultural plant protection drones achieve centimeter-level pesticide spraying accuracy. During flood rescue operations, 30 coordinated drones successfully tracked three speeding vehicles at the same time in heavy rain, achieving 85.6% tracking success rates. These technologies are sold as smart systems for single drones and systems for drone teams working together, earning over 2.8 billion yuan by selling 340,000 devices. Experts predict wider applications in smart city management and ecological protection as 5G networks expand. This innovation is expected to reshape airspace resource application patterns, potentially creating a trillion-yuan market in China’s emerging low-altitude economy. 12. What major limitations did drones face before this technological breakthrough? A Battery drain during complex data processing. B. Sensor degradation in high-altitude environments. C. Image recognition failures under different weather conditions. D. Limited wireless communication capabilities in mountainous regions. 13. Which method improved drones’ work in sandstorms? A. Using special camera filters. B. Making camera lenses lighter. C. Creating systems that self-adjust. D. Programming AI to remove dust. 14.

Normally, this was followed by feelings of worry about the day ahead. But today was different. Today he couldn’t wait to go to school. He rushed to his desk and picked up the old jam jar which contained a colourful butterfly. It had taken him hours to catch and now it was going to be part of his biology presentation for school. While most of his classmates would be showing drawings of insects or animals taken from textbooks, Mike planned to present something different — a live creature. This was sure to get him the highest grade in the class. Mike sat at his desk admiring the insect’s beautiful red and yellow wings. He had made air holes in the jar’s lid, and added leaves for the butterfly to eat. It might be in a glass prison but at least it was being well cared for, Mike thought as he left for school. Mike entered the classroom early, and put the jar in his desk. Biology was the first lesson after lunch and he wanted his presentation to be a surprise. After taking the jar from his bag, he noticed the butterfly was very still. Its wings moved very slowly and its colour seemed to have faded too. Probably just a little tired from the trip in the bag, Mike hoped. Throughout the morning, Mike secretly checked on the insect. Each time it seemed a little stiller, its colour a little duller. Something was wrong. When the lunch-bell rang, he waited for his classmates to leave before opening the jar. The butterfly was still alive, but only just. He took the jar to the bathroom and sprinkled a few drops of water on the butterfly’s head. The cooling effect was instant. The butterfly came to life again and Mike barely managed to replace the lid before the butterfly flew out. But rather than pleasure, the sight of the revived butterfly crashing against the jar, desperate for freedom, made Mike feel guilty. He was being cruel for a mark. As he walked back to class, feeling ashamed, the bell went again. It was time for Biology. He walked over to the window, opened the jar and set the butterfly free. A moment later the biology teacher entered. “Mike, your presentation’s first today.” “Sorry sir,” the boy replied, “I forgot all about it.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The teacher noticed an empty jam jar in Mike’s hand ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After hearing what the teacher said, Mike could hardly believe his ears. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
