There is also a games room and a TV room.( 每间包含五间卧室、卫生间设施和带冰箱和橱柜的共用厨房。还有一间游戏室和一间电视室。)”以及该部分第三段提到“Each level has four apartments containing six bedrooms, toilet facilities, and a kitchen. Each level has a shared area with a TV, a study desk and easy chairs.( 每层有四间公寓，包括六间卧室、厕所设施和一个厨房。每一层都有一个带电视、书桌和安乐椅的共用区域。)”可知，学生村和怀卡托公寓两者均配备厨房（Kitchen）和电视（TV）。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Security and Safety”部分明确指出“If you see anything suspicious, please call Campus Security on 0800863800.( 如果您发现任何可疑情况，请拨打校园保安电话0800863800。)”可知，“破坏学校设施” 属于可疑情况，需联系校园安保（Campus Security）。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Termination of Residence and Checking Out”部分提到“If you fail to check out in this manner, the staff will hold an inspection in your absence and assess whether any payment is required.( 如果您没有这样退房，工作人员将在您不在的情况下进行检查，并评估是否需要付款。)”可知，未按要求退房时，工作人员仍会进行房间检查。故选C项。 B One by one, the toys that show the wear and tear of love are fixed for the holidays. From Barbie dolls to Kung Fu Pandas, the toys that have been left behind by children are made ready to be gifted once more. This is the work of the Hospital for Soft Toys, a project in Venezuela’s capital. It began with a mother’s question: What can be done with all the toys once children outgrow them? Mirady Acosta, a 63-year-old architect who represents the Hospital for Soft Toys, said the idea came from Lilian Gluck, a teacher who in 2017 considered what to do as some of her children left the country. Throw the toys out? Let them fall apart? Neither were good options. She decided to wash them, fix them up and donate them to pediatric (儿科的) patients of the University Hospital of Caracas. Months later, encouraged by the response, Lilian Gluck opened the Hospital for Soft Toys at her home as a nonprofit foundation that also collects and repairs other toys and educational game devices. About 60 volunteers now meet at least twice a week. The project estimates it has recycled about 70,000 toys in the past seven years. Repairing a soft toy for another round of love is also helpful for the volunteers. “By doing this, all of us who come here are in therapy (治疗), a therapy of support for one another. ”said Silvia Heiber, 72, who has volunteered for almost three years. Mirna Morales, a 76-year-old teacher and another volunteer, called it “one of the best experiences I’ve ever had”. “The toys are delivered to hospitals and schools in poor neighborhoods, but also to homes for older people — anyone who needs a little bit of love,” Heiber said. Each toy comes with a message. “Hello, I am your new friend,” it says. “I am a doll with experience because I played with another kid. Love me and take care of me and I will do the same with you. When you grow up, give me to another kid who will love me and play with me like you.” 4. Who came up with the idea of the Hospital for Soft Toys? A. Mirady Acosta. B. Lilian Gluck. C. Silvia Heiber. D. Mirna Morales. 5. For the volunteers referred to in paragraph 4, their work is ________. A. well-paid B. very tiring C. particularly risky D. highly rewarding 6. What is the purpose of the messages with the toys? A. To spread love to those in need. B. To show the work of volunteers. C. To teach kids about friendship. D. To make the toys look more special. 7. What is the text probably? A. A book review. B. A diary entry. C. A news report. D. An advertisement. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了委内瑞拉首都的“毛绒玩具医院”由Lilian Gluck发起，志愿者修复旧玩具并捐赠给需关爱人群，玩具附有爱意留言，志愿者也从中获得慰藉。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Mirady Acosta, a 63-year-old architect who represents the Hospital for Soft Toys, said the idea came from Lilian Gluck, a teacher who in 2017 considered what to do as some of her children left the country.(63岁的建筑师米拉迪·阿科斯塔（Mirady Acosta）是毛绒玩具医院的代表，她说这个想法来自莉莲·格拉克（Lilian Gluck），她是一名教师，2017年她的一些孩子离开了这个国家，她在考虑该怎么办。)”及第三段中“Months later, encouraged by the response, Lilian Gluck opened the Hospital for Soft Toys at her home as a nonprofit foundation that also collects and repairs other toys and educational game devices.(几个月后，在反响的鼓舞下，莉莲·格拉克（Lilian Gluck）在家中开设了一家名为“毛绒玩具医院”（Hospital for Soft Toys）的非营利性基金会，也收集和修理其他玩具和益智游戏设备。)”可知，“毛绒玩具医院”的想法由 Lilian Gluck 提出。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Repairing a soft toy for another round of love is also helpful for the volunteers. “By doing this, all of us who come here are in therapy (治疗), a therapy of support for one another. ”said Silvia Heiber,72, who has volunteered for almost three years. Mirna Morales, a 76-year-old teacher and another volunteer, called it “one of the best experiences I’ve ever had”.(为另一轮的爱修理一个柔软的玩具对志愿者也有帮助。“通过这样做，我们所有来这里的人都在接受治疗，一种相互支持的治疗，”72岁的西尔维娅·海伯（Silvia Heiber）说，她已经做了将近三年的志愿者。76岁的米尔娜·莫拉莱斯（Mirna Morales）是一名教师，也是一名志愿者，她称这是“我有过的最好的经历之一”。)”可知，第四段提到志愿者Silvia Heiber认为这份工作是“互相支持的治疗”，Mirna Morales称其为“人生中最好的经历之一”，可见对志愿者而言，这份工作能带来精神满足，具有高回报性（highly rewarding）。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““The toys are delivered to hospitals and schools in poor neighborhoods, but also to homes for older people — anyone who needs a little bit of love,” Heiber said. Each toy comes with a message. “Hello, I am your new friend, ”it says. “I am a doll with experience because I played with another kid. Love me and take care of me and I will do the same with you.(海伯说：“这些玩具被送到贫困社区的医院和学校，也送到老年人的家里——任何需要一点爱的人。”每个玩具都有一个信息。“你好，我是你的新朋友，”它说。“我是一个有经验的娃娃，因为我和另一个孩子一起玩。爱我，照顾我，我也会这样对待你。”)”可知，玩具附带的留言包含“我是你的新朋友”，“长大后把我交给另一个会爱我的孩子”等内容，结合前文提到玩具会送给“需要一点爱的人”（医院患儿、贫困社区学校、养老院老人），可知留言目的是向有需要的人传递爱。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第二段“Mirady Acosta, a 63-year-old architect who represents the Hospital for Soft Toys, said the idea came from Lilian Gluck, a teacher who in 2017 considered what to do as some of her children left the country. Throw the toys out ? Let them fall apart ? Neither were good options. She decided to wash them, fix them up and donate them to pediatric (儿科的) patients of the University Hospital of Caracas.( 63岁的建筑师米拉迪·阿科斯塔（Mirady Acosta）是毛绒玩具医院的代表，她说这个想法来自莉莲·格拉克（Lilian Gluck），她是一名教师，2017年她的一些孩子离开了这个国家，她在考虑该怎么办。把玩具扔出去？让它们散架？两者都不是好的选择。她决定把它们洗干净，修好，然后捐给加拉加斯大学医院的儿科病人。)”可知，文章客观介绍了委内瑞拉“毛绒玩具医院”的起源、运营模式、志愿者感受及玩具捐赠对象，属于对真实社会项目的报道，符合新闻报道（news report）的特征。故选C项。 C Animals and plants also live and thrive on public squares. This creates opportunities for greater biodiversity and well-being for the human population. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have studied at 103 locations in Munich how various factors affect flora and fauna (动植物). They advocate a close examination of local conditions and a more nature-focused approach to the design of public spaces. Together with his team, Wolfgang Weisser, Professor of Terrestrial Ecology at TUM, looked at such factors as size, the occurrence of lawn, plant and tree growth, artificial light sources and green in the surroundings of the 103 public squares in Munich. The squares varied from almost entirely sealed (封闭的) to park-like squares. Their results show, with Munich as an example, how greatly the different spaces can differ in the animals and other organisms that can live there. At the heavily sealed Marienplatz, the researchers counted only 20 species, with just one bird and moss species as well as insects and bat species. Meanwhile, at Pfrontener Platz, a space with lawns, bushes and trees, they found 156 taxa, including 21 different kinds of birds. At Johannisplatz, 118 species are present, as it has trees, hedges and some grassy areas despite being sealed to a relatively large extent. Unsurprisingly, more plants are beneficial to many animal species. This is a factor that urban planning models already take into account. However, the study also shows that lawns, trees and bushes vary widely in terms of the diversity and numbers of the species they attract. So far, public spaces are designed with humans in mind, with little consideration to animals and other species. The researchers concluded that the chances for greater biodiversity are increased if, instead of applying the same patterns to every location, planners take into account the local conditions and the needs of different species. To encourage more bee species, for example, they should not only plant nectar-bearing flowers, but also provide open space as habitat for bees and a source of nest-building material. 8. What does the study at TUM focus on? A. The best locations for flora and fauna. B. Factors to be considered in square design. C. The impact of local conditions on biodiversity. D. The best way for humans and flora and fauna to get along. 9. What can we know from paragraph 3? A. Animals expand in sealed parks. B. Open parks support more biodiversity. C. Open parks are not fit for birds to stay. D. Closed parks are as good as open ones. 10. What does the study say about urban greenery? A. It varies in attracting species. B. It will replace artificial lights. C. It has nothing to do with species. D. It is well planned in urban buildings. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Enhancing Urban Development: Considering Local Species’ Needs B. Human-animal Coexistence: Integrating Nature into City Designing C. Urban Ecosystems: Challenges for Plants and Animals in Urban Spaces D. Biodiversity in the City: Designing Urban Spaces for Humans and Animals 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了慕尼黑工业大学(TUM)的研究，探讨了城市公共空间设计中考虑当地条件和不同物种需求的重要性，以促进生物多样性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have studied at 103 locations in Munich how various factors affect flora and fauna (动植物). They advocate a close examination of local conditions and a more nature-focused approach to the design of public spaces. (慕尼黑工业大学(TUM)的研究人员在慕尼黑的103个地点研究了各种因素如何影响动植物。他们提倡仔细研究当地条件，并在公共空间的设计中采用更注重自然的方法)”可知，TUM的研究集中在当地条件对生物多样性的影响。故选C项。 9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“At the heavily sealed Marienplatz, the researchers counted only 20 species, with just one bird and moss species as well as insects and bat species. Meanwhile, at Pfrontener Platz, a space with lawns, bushes and trees, they found 156 taxa, including 21 different kinds of birds. (在高度封闭的玛丽恩广场，研究人员仅计算出20个物种，包括仅有一种鸟类、苔藓物种以及昆虫和蝙蝠物种。与此同时，在拥有草坪、灌木和树木的普弗龙纳广场，他们发现了156个分类单元，包括21种不同的鸟类)”可推知，开放的公园支持更多的生物多样性。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, the study also shows that lawns, trees and bushes vary widely in terms of the diversity and numbers of the species they attract. (然而，研究还表明，草坪、树木和灌木在吸引物种的多样性和数量方面存在很大差异)”可知，城市绿化在吸引物种方面存在差异。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The researchers concluded that the chances for greater biodiversity are increased if, instead of applying the same patterns to every location, planners take into account the local conditions and the needs of different species. (研究人员得出结论，如果规划者不仅仅在每个地点应用相同的模式，而是考虑到当地条件和不同物种的需求，那么增加更大生物多样性的机会就会增加)”及全文可知，整篇文章主要讨论了城市空间设计中考虑当地条件和不同物种需求的重要性，以促进人类和动物的共存。故选D项。 D British mobile phone company O2 has made public a new creation, Daisy, a chat and cat-loving artificial intelligence(AI)“granny” who talks to scammers(骗子)to keep them away from real people. “Hello, scammers. I’m your worst nightmare,” Daisy says by way of introduction to would-be wrongdoers. In the video which features Amy Hart, a former contestant on Love Island and a victim of a fraud case, the scammers on the other end of the phone experience the same frustration they've inflicted on victims. This happens when Daisy is talking enthusiastically about her pet cat Fluffy, and says she can't follow the scammers' instructions. “I think your profession is bothering people, right?” one defeated scammer tells Daisy after being given the runaround. “It’s nearly been an hour !” another shouts. But for Daisy, time couldn’t be less of a concern.“While they’re busy talking to me, they can’t be scamming you. And let’s face it, dear, I’ve got all the time in the world,” she says. O2, the company behind the granny, said the AI technology can keep scammers on the phone for 40 minutes at a time. Daisy was trained with the help of software engineer Jim Browning, who has made an online career exposing scammers to his community of 4.4 million subscribers. In order to have scammers make time-wasting calls, the company employed the practice of “number seeding”, which put the AI granny’s number on lists used by scammers to find their victims. The granny’s goal is two-fold: to keep scammers away from real people and to raise awareness about the dangers of risky phone scams. “We’re committed to playing our part in stopping the scammers in order to keep our customers safe” Murray Mackenzie, the company’s director, said in a statement. “But crucially, Daisy is also a reminder that no matter how persuasive someone on the other end of the phone may be, they aren’t always who you think they are.” 12. What do we know about the scammers when talking to Daisy? A. They become very patient. B. They feel extremely angry. C. They gain more confidence. D. They are eager to learn from it. 13. Why does the author mention Jim Browning? A. To show Daisy’s popularity. B. To prove the importance of AI. C. To tell Daisy’s training source. D. To introduce a famous cat-lover. 14. Why does O2 put Daisy’s number on scammers’ lists? A. To waste scammers’ time. B. To find scammers’ locations. C. To study scammers’ behaviors. D. To make friends with scammers. 15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Daisy: The Scammers’ New Target B. O2’s New Invention: A Fun Phone Tool C. Daisy: AI Granny Fights Phone Scams D. O2’s Creation: A Cat-Loving Film 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了英国手机公司O2开发的人工智能“奶奶”Daisy，通过聊天拖延骗子时间，保护真实用户免受诈骗。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In the video which features Amy Hart, a former contestant on Love Island and a victim of a fraud case, the scammers on the other end of the phone experience the same frustration they've inflicted on victims. (在这段以《爱情岛》前参赛者、诈骗案受害者艾米·哈特为主角的视频中，电话那头的诈骗者也体会到了他们曾让受害者遭受的那种挫败感。)”以及“It’s nearly been an hour!” another shouts. (“都快一个小时了！”另一个骗子喊道。)可推知，骗子在与Daisy通话时感到极度愤怒。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Daisy was trained with the help of software engineer Jim Browning, who has made an online career exposing scammers to his community of 4.4 million subscribers. ( Daisy是在软件工程师吉姆·布朗宁的帮助下接受训练的，吉姆·布朗宁在网上以揭露诈骗者为业，在他的 440 万订阅者社区中颇有名气。)”可推知，作者提到Jim Browning是为了说明Daisy的训练来源。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In order to have scammers make time-wasting calls, the company employed the practice of “number seeding”, which put the AI granny’s number on lists used by scammers to find their victims. (为了能让诈骗分子拨打浪费时间的电话，该公司采用了“号码播种”的做法，将人工智能老奶奶的号码列入诈骗分子寻找受害者的名单中。)”可推知，O2将Daisy的号码放在骗子名单上是为了浪费骗子的时间。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段内容“British mobile phone company O2 has made public a new creation, Daisy, a chat and cat-loving artificial intelligence(AI)“granny” who talks to scammers(骗子)to keep them away from real people. (英国移动电话公司 O2 公布了一项新发明——Daisy，这是一款既会聊天又喜爱猫咪的智能机器人“奶奶”，它会与诈骗者对话，以阻止他们接近真实的人们。)”以及下文内容可知，全文围绕Daisy作为AI“奶奶”如何通过聊天拖延骗子、保护用户展开。选项C“Daisy: AI Granny Fights Phone Scams (Daisy：AI奶奶打击电话诈骗)”最全面概括了文章主旨，适合作标题。故选C。 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If sports are something that interests you, it stands to reason that you would want to be good at them.

I was a little girl again, rushing about, trying to get ready for school. “Hurry, you’ll be late for school,” my mother called to me. “I am hurrying, Mom. What did I do with my books?” Deep inside I knew where the dream came from. It was about some unfinished business in my life. As a kid, I loved everything about school. I loved books, teachers, tests and homework. Most of all, I longed to someday march down the aisle (走廊) to receive my diploma (毕业文凭). That seemed more appealing even than getting married. But at 15, I had to drop out because my parents couldn’t afford tuition. My hope of getting a diploma was dead, or so I thought. Years later, I married and had three children, and I thought, “There goes my diploma.” Even so, I wanted my children to be educated. But Linda, our youngest child, had juvenile arthritis (幼年型关节炎) in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom. I felt really sorry for her and I didn’t want her to live her life with regret. I didn’t give up hope of her going back to school in some way. One day, I saw an ad. in the newspaper for evening courses. “That’s the answer,” I said to myself. Linda always feels better in the evening, so I’ll just sign her up for night school. Linda was busy filling out enrollment (登记) forms when the secretary said, “Mrs. Schantz, why don’t you come back to school?” I laughed, “There’s no way. I’m 55.” But he persisted, and before I knew what I had done, I was enrolled for classes in English and art. “This is only an experiment,” I warned the secretary, but he just smiled. So, I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it would work. Anyway, my dream was still there in my heart. 续写要求： 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。 It was exciting to go to school again but it was no picnic (不轻松). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Linda and I helped each other through this difficult time. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: It was exciting to go to school again but it was no picnic (不轻松). At first, I felt really embarrassed to be sitting in a classroom with all the kids staring at me, even though I knew they were only doing it out of curiosity. However, the first few months of going back to studying were undoubtedly challenging, for I had totally forgotten what I had learned in my younger days. Fortunately, the attitude of the teachers calmed my nerves. They didn’t say much but they behaved with great understanding. Also, as a mother of three children, I had to balance loads of housework and my kids’ needs while doing my courses. Linda and I helped each other through this difficult time. Linda would share the housework when I was up to my eyebrows with my schoolwork. And when she was down, I would stay by her side, offering comfort and encouragement. I have to say, it was a hard time for both of us but we didn’t give up. Finally, I completed all the credits needed for graduation. I glowed with pride as I was presented with my diploma. Waving my hands at Linda, I could hardly contain my excitement. At last, the unfinished business in my dreams had been finished. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者15岁时因为父母付不起学费，不得不退学，后来结了婚生了三个孩子。作者在为最小的孩子Linda报夜校的时候，作者心中的梦想还在，自己也打算尝试一个学期的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“再次去学校是令人兴奋的，但这并不是一件轻松的事。”可知，第一段可描写作者去上学时的感受和学业进步情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“琳达和我互相帮助度过了这段困难时期。”可知，第二段可描写作者和琳达是如何互相鼓励的，以及作者最后如何取得了毕业证书的。 2.续写线索： 感到兴奋——学校中的困难——老师帮助——和Linda互相鼓励——取得毕业证书——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①盯着：stare at /gaze at ②回去：go back /return ③完成：finish /complete 情绪类 ①尴尬的：awkward /embarrassed ②激动：thrill /excitement 【点睛】[高分句型1] At first, I felt really embarrassed to be sitting in a classroom with all the kids staring at me, even though I knew they were only doing it out of curiosity.

From Barbie dolls to Kung Fu Pandas, the toys that have been left behind by children are made ready to be gifted once more. This is the work of the Hospital for Soft Toys, a project in Venezuela’s capital. It began with a mother’s question: What can be done with all the toys once children outgrow them? Mirady Acosta, a 63-year-old architect who represents the Hospital for Soft Toys, said the idea came from Lilian Gluck, a teacher who in 2017 considered what to do as some of her children left the country. Throw the toys out? Let them fall apart? Neither were good options. She decided to wash them, fix them up and donate them to pediatric (儿科的) patients of the University Hospital of Caracas. Months later, encouraged by the response, Lilian Gluck opened the Hospital for Soft Toys at her home as a nonprofit foundation that also collects and repairs other toys and educational game devices. About 60 volunteers now meet at least twice a week. The project estimates it has recycled about 70,000 toys in the past seven years. Repairing a soft toy for another round of love is also helpful for the volunteers. “By doing this, all of us who come here are in therapy (治疗), a therapy of support for one another. ”said Silvia Heiber, 72, who has volunteered for almost three years. Mirna Morales, a 76-year-old teacher and another volunteer, called it “one of the best experiences I’ve ever had”. “The toys are delivered to hospitals and schools in poor neighborhoods but also to homes for older people — anyone who needs a little bit of love,” Heiber said. Each toy comes with a message. “Hello, I am your new friend,” it says. “I am a doll with experience because I played with another kid. Love me and take care of me and I will do the same with you. When you grow up, give me to another kid who will love me and play with me like you.” 4. Who came up with the idea of the Hospital for Soft Toys? A. Mirady Acosta. B. Lilian Gluck. C. Silvia Heiber. D. Mirna Morales. 5. For the volunteers referred to in paragraph 4, their work is ________. A. well-paid B. very tiring C. particularly risky D. highly rewarding 6. What is the purpose of the messages with the toys? A. To spread love to those in need. B. To show the work of volunteers. C. To teach kids about friendship. D. To make the toys look more special. 7. What is the text probably? A. A book review. B. A diary entry. C. A news report. D. An advertisement. C Animals and plants also live and thrive on public squares. This creates opportunities for greater biodiversity and well-being for the human population. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have studied at 103 locations in Munich how various factors affect flora and fauna (动植物). They advocate a close examination of local conditions and a more nature-focused approach to the design of public spaces. Together with his team, Wolfgang Weisser, Professor of Terrestrial Ecology at TUM, looked at such factors as size, the occurrence of lawn, plant and tree growth, artificial light sources and green in the surroundings of the 103 public squares in Munich. The squares varied from almost entirely sealed (封闭的) to park-like squares. Their results show, with Munich as an example, how greatly the different spaces can differ in the animals and other organisms that can live there. At the heavily sealed Marienplatz, the researchers counted only 20 species, with just one bird and moss species as well as insects and bat species. Meanwhile, at Pfrontener Platz, a space with lawns, bushes and trees, they found 156 taxa, including 21 different kinds of birds. At Johannisplatz, 118 species are present, as it has trees, hedges and some grassy areas despite being sealed to a relatively large extent. Unsurprisingly, more plants are beneficial to many animal species. This is a factor that urban planning models already take into account. However, the study also shows that lawns, trees and bushes vary widely in terms of the diversity and numbers of the species they attract. So far, public spaces are designed with humans in mind, with little consideration to animals and other species. The researchers concluded that the chances for greater biodiversity are increased if, instead of applying the same patterns to every location, planners take into account the local conditions and the needs of different species. To encourage more bee species, for example, they should not only plant nectar-bearing flowers, but also provide open space as habitat for bees and a source of nest-building material. 8. What does the study at TUM focus on? A. The best locations for flora and fauna. B. Factors to be considered in square design. C. The impact of local conditions on biodiversity. D. The best way for humans and flora and fauna to get along. 9. What can we know from paragraph 3? A. Animals expand in sealed parks. B. Open parks support more biodiversity. C. Open parks are not fit for birds to stay. D. Closed parks are as good as open ones. 10. What does the study say about urban greenery? A. It varies in attracting species. B. It will replace artificial lights. C. It has nothing to do with species. D. It is well planned in urban buildings. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Enhancing Urban Development: Considering Local Species’ Needs B. Human-animal Coexistence: Integrating Nature into City Designing C. Urban Ecosystems: Challenges for Plants and Animals in Urban Spaces D. Biodiversity in the City: Designing Urban Spaces for Humans and Animals D British mobile phone company O2 has made public a new creation, Daisy, a chat and cat-loving artificial intelligence(AI)“granny” who talks to scammers(骗子)to keep them away from real people. “Hello, scammers. I’m your worst nightmare,” Daisy says by way of introduction to would-be wrongdoers. In the video which features Amy Hart, a former contestant on Love Island and a victim of a fraud case, the scammers on the other end of the phone experience the same frustration they've inflicted on victims. This happens when Daisy is talking enthusiastically about her pet cat Fluffy, and says she can't follow the scammers' instructions. “I think your profession is bothering people, right?” one defeated scammer tells Daisy after being given the runaround. “It’s nearly been an hour !” another shouts. But for Daisy, time couldn’t be less of a concern.“While they’re busy talking to me, they can’t be scamming you. And let’s face it, dear, I’ve got all the time in the world,” she says. O2, the company behind the granny, said the AI technology can keep scammers on the phone for 40 minutes at a time. Daisy was trained with the help of software engineer Jim Browning, who has made an online career exposing scammers to his community of 4.4 million subscribers. In order to have scammers make time-wasting calls, the company employed the practice of “number seeding”, which put the AI granny’s number on lists used by scammers to find their victims. The granny’s goal is two-fold: to keep scammers away from real people and to raise awareness about the dangers of risky phone scams. “We’re committed to playing our part in stopping the scammers in order to keep our customers safe,” Murray Mackenzie, the company’s director, said in a statement. “But crucially, Daisy is also a reminder that no matter how persuasive someone on the other end of the phone may be, they aren’t always who you think they are.” 12. What do we know about the scammers when talking to Daisy? A They become very patient. B. They feel extremely angry. C. They gain more confidence. D. They are eager to learn from it. 13. Why does the author mention Jim Browning? A To show Daisy’s popularity. B. To prove the importance of AI. C. To tell Daisy’s training source. D. To introduce a famous cat-lover. 14. Why does O2 put Daisy’s number on scammers’ lists? A To waste scammers’ time. B. To find scammers’ locations. C. To study scammers’ behaviors. D. To make friends with scammers. 15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Daisy: The Scammers’ New Target B. O2’s New Invention: A Fun Phone Tool C. Daisy: AI Granny Fights Phone Scams D. O2’s Creation: A Cat-Loving Film 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If sports are something that interests you, it stands to reason that you would want to be good at them.

If you’re new to a sport, take as much time as you need to get the basic movements down properly. ____17____. Get enough sleep. This one should come as obvious. This is especially true during times of intense practice or training, where things get so busy that it becomes hard to push everything into a regular day. However, your body needs its full rest. ____18____. If you’re an adult, get 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Set ambitious but realistic goals for yourself. Setting ambitious goals does not mean being unrealistic, or saying you’re going to go professional within a year. ____19____, and figure out where you think you would like to be. Give yourself a suitable amount of time to achieve that goal, and break it down into smaller parts if the goal is especially big. Stay focused on the game.

I was a little girl again, rushing about, trying to get ready for school. “Hurry, you’ll be late for school,” my mother called to me. “I am hurrying, Mom. What did I do with my books?” Deep inside I knew where the dream came from. It was about some unfinished business in my life. As a kid, I loved everything about school. I loved books, teachers, tests and homework. Most of all, I longed to someday march down the aisle (走廊) to receive my diploma (毕业文凭). That seemed more appealing even than getting married. But at 15, I had to drop out because my parents couldn’t afford tuition. My hope of getting a diploma was dead, or so I thought. Years later, I married and had three children, and I thought, “There goes my diploma.” Even so, I wanted my children to be educated. But Linda, our youngest child, had juvenile arthritis (幼年型关节炎) in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom. I felt really sorry for her and I didn’t want her to live her life with regret. I didn’t give up hope of her going back to school in some way. One day, I saw an ad. in the newspaper for evening courses. “That’s the answer,” I said to myself. Linda always feels better in the evening, so I’ll just sign her up for night school. Linda was busy filling out enrollment (登记) forms when the secretary said, “Mrs. Schantz, why don’t you come back to school?” I laughed, “There’s no way. I’m 55.” But he persisted, and before I knew what I had done, I was enrolled for classes in English and art. “This is only an experiment,” I warned the secretary, but he just smiled. So, I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it would work. Anyway, my dream was still there in my heart. 续写要求： 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。 It was exciting to go to school again but it was no picnic (不轻松). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Linda and I helped each other through this difficult time. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
