I could get lost in the clouds for hours, dreaming of travelling to far away countries and enjoying different cultures there. My dream 37 : a bestselling author, changing people’s hearts with my words, or a reporter, serving the people and giving 38 to those who have not been heard for centuries. I spend most of my time dreaming. What’s the problem with spending so much time dancing among sunset-painted cotton candy clouds? Well, the problem is that my bare feet 39 kiss the earth, and by being lost in my dreams often, I become 40 from my own real life and out of touch with the people I love. “Stop dreaming. Be a doer not a dreamer,” the famous television producer Shonda Rhimes described in her 41 for the graduating class of Dartmouth. “You just have to keep doing something, catching the next chance, staying open to trying something new. It doesn’t have to satisfy your imagination of the perfect job or the perfect life. Perfect is boring and dreams are not 42 . Just...DO.” One of the hardest lessons a dreamer has to learn is that in order to cultivate (培养) the type of life we fictionalize (幻想) so often, we must match our dreams with 43 . Otherwise, as Shonda puts it, “Dreamers often end up living in the basement (地下室) of relatives.” Another hard truth that we dreamers must 44 is that by being lost in dreaming, we overlook (忽视) ourselves. We usually dream of becoming 45 else. We dream about the person who is not us, and this is a problem because it 46 we would rather be others instead of ourselves. So, this is me waving goodbye to my cotton candy clouds. I am 47 myself to meet my dreams with action. It won’t be 48 . Those light and soft clouds have been a great source of comfort through the endless thunder storms that have disrupted (打扰) my life. It’s comfortable. However, 49 my best friend often reminds me, good things don’t always bring comfort. The 50 thing for us is challenging. It is a lot more meaningful than those cotton candy. 36． A．traveller B．reporter C．seller D．dreamer 37． A．standard B．career C．achievement D．situation 38． A．voice B．ability C．surprise D．space 39． A．always B．seldom C．often D．usually 40． A．absent B．present C．free D．different 41． A．meeting B．speech C．novel D．diary 42． A．exciting B．important C．real D．lovely 43． A．action B．money C．time D．study 44． A．suggest B．know C．follow D．change 45． A．everyone B．someone C．anyone D．nobody 46． A．means B．considers C．explains D．promises 47． A．controlling B．satisfying C．discovering D．challenging 48． A．hard B．easy C．hurt D．special 49． A．for B．while C．as D．like 50． A．better B．worse C．best D．worst 四、阅读理解（本题共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） A) 阅读下面四篇短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳答案。 A Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you became the master of your own life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives around and around, never getting anywhere, just wasting time. Which driver do you want to be? Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set—and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to live your life. Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. Like making a serious promise to yourself, they are harder to forget. Also, when you write your goals in a way you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal. … 51． The writer ________ in Para. 2 to express his idea. A．tells stories B．lists numbers C．gives examples D．gives reasons 52． Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Only successful people can plan their future life well and set lots of goals. B．People who always win in life set goals without following all the way on them. C．No one can help you find out your goals or decide in what direction to live your life. D．You should make a promise with yourself so you can make your goal come true easily. 53． What will the writer write about in the following part? A．Ways to realize your goals. B．Ways to find out your goals. C．The importance of setting a goal. D．The difficulty on setting a goal. B “Twelve years ago, I was a professional (职业的) dancer and black belt in taekwondo (跆拳道) when a disease went undiagnosed and destroyed my muscular system. I finally ended up on life support in intensive care with organ (器官) failure,” Kaufman recalled. “I went from living this big life to not knowing how I was going to survive. Luckily, on my birthday in 2009, I received a new heart and was given a second chance at life!” After volunteering in Los Angeles hospitals, Kaufman started the non-profit organization—Ava’s Heart. She and her organization offered transplant patients services that were often not covered by insurance (保险) , including food, gas, co-pays on medicines, and housing. “What I found out was that if you didn’t have post-transplant housing, you couldn’t get listed and admitted (允许进入) into the hospital,” Kaufman said. She said that for the nearly 110,000 people in the USA waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, it was not just a matter of adding your name to the list. Patients must be financially secure (经济保障的) and be able to afford transportation. What’s more, they must find accommodations (住所) near their transplant hospital. Kaufman runs two housing locations, which allows the patients to remain close to their transplant hospital during the period of their aftercare, usually about three months at no cost. Her organization also helps donor (捐献者) families, which she thinks makes the whole circle complete. “The donor is the whole story. Without the donor, there are no transplant centers, no transplant surgeons, no me. In my eyes, the donors are the heroes.” Kaufman said. So far, Ava’s Heart has helped nearly 90 families with burial costs for their loved ones whose organs have saved countless lives. Kaufman also works closely with those who help build relationships with donor families and spread awareness about the importance of organ donation. 54． Why did Kaufman talk about her memory in Paragraph 1? A．To suggest the importance of life. B．To remember her dull and boring days. C．To show the reason for paying back. D．To confirm her love for the profession. 55． For a transplant patient, admission into the hospital requires the following EXCEPT ________. A．health insurance B．nearby housing C．financial security D．affordable transportation 56． Which of the following best describes Kaufman? A．Brave and caring. B．Grateful and warm-hearted. C．Practical and hard-working. D．Loyal and easy-going. C Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism. Their critics (批评家) seem to hate them because they have so much money to throw around. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays. The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods is largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement. Lots of people pretend (假装) that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall while waiting for a train? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the incidents and disasters. We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmers is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price! Another thing we mustn’t forget is the “small ads.” What a useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch” column (栏目) but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony” column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is! 57． What is the main idea of this passage? A．Advertisements steal money from our pockets B．The critics get the wrong idea of advertisements. C．In some ways, advertisers perform various useful services. D．Advertisements are everywhere, and we all need them. 58． What is the attitude of the author toward advertisements? A．He appreciates the role of advertisements. B．He doubts the effect of advertisements. C．He believes what is said in advertisements. D．He complains too many advertisements in daily life. 59． If there is no advertisement on a newspaper, A．we will not buy newspapers. B．a newspaper will cost us less. C．a newspaper will cost us more. D．our life will be more colourful. 60． Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=paragraph 2, ③=paragraph 3, ④=paragraph 4, ⑤=paragraph 5) A．B． C． D． D A new AI system can be used to make predictions on crop yields (产量) up to six months before harvest (收获) . The tool counts flowers on fruit trees, which can help farmers improve crop yields and make better use of their resources such as water and labor, and to plan harvests. The system, developed by researchers at the National Robotarium in Edinburgh, can calculate the number of flowers on fruit trees from photos taken by a smart phone. It works by recognizing (识别) patterns and features, such as the edges and shapes of flowers. In Spain, studies on peach trees showed the system to be 90% correct in flower counts, which is much better than the 30% to 50% mistakes made by humans, according to researchers. “In countries all across the world, farmers often depend on traditional methods to predict their yields, which can lead to big mistakes,” said Fernando Auat Cheein, a professor at the National Robotarium. He also praised the simplicity and correctness of the flower-counting AI and its possibility to help farmers make wise decisions about crop management. “By focusing their efforts on areas of the farm that are expected to produce the most fruit, farmers can make the most of resources, reduce their environmental effect, and improve both the quantity and quality of their harvest,” said Mr. Cheein. “Our AI tool can be combined with traditional farming practices, making it easier for growers to get help with creative solutions without completely changing their present methods.” The researchers will next compare the AI’s predictions with the actual peach harvest in the autumn of 2024. If these turn out to be effective (有效的) , they believe the method could be used for crops such as apples, pears, and cherries, helping fruit growers in Britain, Europe, and other areas. 61． What is the purpose of new AI tool? A．To harvest crops. B．To water fruit trees. C．To predict crop yields. D．To speed up the crop growth. 62． How can the AI system calculate the number of the flowers from photos? A．It can take photos by a smart phone. B．It recognizes many types of flowers. C．It works by recognizing patterns and features. D．It can depend on traditional methods to calculate the number of flowers. 63． What words best describe the AI system according to Paragraph 3? A．Helpful and promising (有前景的) . B．Creative and expensive. C．Practical and interesting. D．Convenient and eco-friendly. 64． Why does the author mention Mr. Cheein’s words in Paragraph 4? A．To offer suggestions on using the AI system. B．To show the help farmers can get from AI system. C．To explain the need for improving the quality of crops. D．To compare traditional farming methods with the new AI system. 65． What is the researchers’ next step? A．Trying the AI system for more fruits. B．Putting the AI system into the market. C．Testing the AI system in different countries. D．Checking the effectiveness of the Al prediction. 五、词语运用（本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） A）根据句意和汉语提示，完成句子。 66． Chinese people’s old friend, President Putin, was among the (领导人) who were invited to attend the third Belt and Road Forum (论坛) in Beijing from October 17 to 18. 67． You will feel happier when you (创建) a balance between giving and receiving. 68． My cousin has been (缺席) from school for a week because of her illness. 69． In the library, we should read in (寂静) . 70． The epidemic this July could be under control in such a short time (仅仅, 简直) because of the rapid reaction by the government.

These traditional art forms try to show the important things in life, such as love, beauty and family. According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper.   Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do.

During the Spring Festival, paper cutting often seen on windows, doors and walls. Chinese clay (黏土) art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real.

The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat.

I could get lost in the clouds for hours, dreaming of travelling to far away countries and enjoying different cultures there. My dream 37 : a bestselling author, changing people’s hearts with my words, or a reporter, serving the people and giving 38 to those who have not been heard for centuries. I spend most of my time dreaming. What’s the problem with spending so much time dancing among sunset-painted cotton candy clouds? Well, the problem is that my bare feet 39 kiss the earth, and by being lost in my dreams often, I become 40 from my own real life and out of touch with the people I love. “Stop dreaming. Be a doer not a dreamer,” the famous television producer Shonda Rhimes described in her 41 for the graduating class of Dartmouth. “You just have to keep doing something, catching the next chance, staying open to trying something new. It doesn’t have to satisfy your imagination of the perfect job or the perfect life. Perfect is boring and dreams are not 42 . Just...DO.” One of the hardest lessons a dreamer has to learn is that in order to cultivate (培养) the type of life we fictionalize (幻想) so often, we must match our dreams with 43 . Otherwise, as Shonda puts it, “Dreamers often end up living in the basement (地下室) of relatives.” Another hard truth that we dreamers must 44 is that by being lost in dreaming, we overlook (忽视) ourselves. We usually dream of becoming 45 else. We dream about the person who is not us, and this is a problem because it 46 we would rather be others instead of ourselves. So, this is me waving goodbye to my cotton candy clouds. I am 47 myself to meet my dreams with action. It won’t be 48 . Those light and soft clouds have been a great source of comfort through the endless thunder storms that have disrupted (打扰) my life. It’s comfortable. However, 49 my best friend often reminds me, good things don’t always bring comfort. The 50 thing for us is challenging. It is a lot more meaningful than those cotton candy. 36． A．traveller B．reporter C．seller D．dreamer 37． A．standard B．career C．achievement D．situation 38． A．voice B．ability C．surprise D．space 39． A．always B．seldom C．often D．usually 40． A．absent B．present C．free D．different 41． A．meeting B．speech C．novel D．diary 42． A．exciting B．important C．real D．lovely 43． A．action B．money C．time D．study 44． A．suggest B．know C．follow D．change 45． A．everyone B．someone C．anyone D．nobody 46． A．means B．considers C．explains D．promises 47． A．controlling B．satisfying C．discovering D．challenging 48． A．hard B．easy C．hurt D．special 49． A．for B．while C．as D．like 50． A．better B．worse C．best D．worst 【答案】 36．D 37．B 38．A 39．B 40．A 41．B 42．C 43．A 44．B 45．B 46．A 47．D 48．B 49．C 50．C 【详解】本文讲述了做白日梦不现实，要脚踏实地，梦想要与行动相匹配。 36．句意：多年来，我一直是一个自豪的梦想家。 traveller旅行者；reporter记者；seller卖家；dreamer梦想家。根据“I could get lost in the clouds for hours, dreaming of travelling to far away countries and enjoying different cultures there”可知之前一直梦想着去遥远的国家旅行，享受那里的不同文化，所以是梦想家。故选D。 37．句意：我梦想的工作：一个畅销书作家，用我的话改变人们的心，或者一个记者，为人民服务，为那些几个世纪以来没有被听到的人发声。 standard标准；career职业；achievement成就；situation情况；根据“a bestselling author”可知，此处说的是梦想中的职业，故选B。 38．句意：我梦想的工作：一个畅销书作家，用我的话改变人们的心，或者一个记者，为人民服务，为那些几个世纪以来没有被听到的人发声。 voice嗓音；ability能力；surprise惊讶；space空间；根据“to those who have not been heard for centuries.”可知，能够听的应该是声音，故选A。 39．句意：问题是我很少脚踏实地。 always总是；seldom很少；often经常；usually通常。根据“and by being lost in my dreams often”可知是经常梦想，很少脚踏实地。故选B。 40．句意：我变得脱离了自己的现实生活，与我爱的人失去了联系。 absent缺席的；present现在的；free自由的；different不同的。根据“out of touch with the people I love”可知是脱离了自己的现实生活，absent符合语境。故选A。 41．句意：著名电视制片人Shonda Rhimes在达特茅斯大学毕业典礼上的演讲中描述道：“别做梦了。做一个实干家，而不是梦想家。”。 meeting会议；speech演讲；novel小说；diary日记。根据“for the graduating class of Dartmouth”可知，是在他的演讲中，故选B。 42．句意：完美是无聊的，梦想不是真实的。 exciting令人激动的；important重要的；real真的；lovely可爱的。根据“Perfect is boring and dreams are not...Just...DO”可知梦想是不真实的，要去做。故选C。 43．句意：我们必须将我们的梦想与行动相匹配。 action行动；money钱；time时间；study学习。根据“Just...

Because goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you became the master of your own life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives around and around, never getting anywhere, just wasting time. Which driver do you want to be? Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set—and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to live your life. Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. Like making a serious promise to yourself, they are harder to forget. Also, when you write your goals in a way you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal. … 51． The writer ________ in Para. 2 to express his idea. A．tells stories B．lists numbers C．gives examples D．gives reasons 52． Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Only successful people can plan their future life well and set lots of goals. B．People who always win in life set goals without following all the way on them. C．No one can help you find out your goals or decide in what direction to live your life. D．You should make a promise with yourself so you can make your goal come true easily. 53． What will the writer write about in the following part? A．Ways to realize your goals. B．Ways to find out your goals. C．The importance of setting a goal. D．The difficulty on setting a goal. 【答案】51．C 52．C 53．A 【详解】本文通过两个司机的对比，说明设定目标的重要性，指出生活中的成功者会设定目标并坚持到底，建议我们写下目标，这样更有可能实现。 51．细节理解题。根据第二段“Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which can be found on a map...The other driver has no destination or map...”可知，作者在第二段列举了两个司机的例子，所以作者是通过举例来表达他的想法的。故选C。 52．推理判断题。根据第三段“You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to live your life.”可知，你是那个必须决定要实现什么和朝什么方向生活的人。由此推知，没有人能帮你找到你的目标或决定你的生活方向。故选C。 53．推理判断题。根据第四段“Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it.”可知，研究告诉我们，当我们写下一个目标时，我们更有可能实现它。即写下你的目标是实现目标的方法之一。由此推知，作者将在接下来的部分写一些实现你目标的方法。故选A。 B “Twelve years ago, I was a professional (职业的) dancer and black belt in taekwondo (跆拳道) when a disease went undiagnosed and destroyed my muscular system. I finally ended up on life support in intensive care with organ (器官) failure,” Kaufman recalled. “I went from living this big life to not knowing how I was going to survive. Luckily, on my birthday in 2009, I received a new heart and was given a second chance at life!” After volunteering in Los Angeles hospitals, Kaufman started the non-profit organization—Ava’s Heart. She and her organization offered transplant patients services that were often not covered by insurance (保险) , including food, gas, co-pays on medicines, and housing. “What I found out was that if you didn’t have post-transplant housing, you couldn’t get listed and admitted (允许进入) into the hospital,” Kaufman said. She said that for the nearly 110,000 people in the USA waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, it was not just a matter of adding your name to the list. Patients must be financially secure (经济保障的) and be able to afford transportation. What’s more, they must find accommodations (住所) near their transplant hospital. Kaufman runs two housing locations, which allows the patients to remain close to their transplant hospital during the period of their aftercare, usually about three months at no cost. Her organization also helps donor (捐献者) families, which she thinks makes the whole circle complete. “The donor is the whole story. Without the donor, there are no transplant centers, no transplant surgeons, no me. In my eyes, the donors are the heroes.” Kaufman said. So far, Ava’s Heart has helped nearly 90 families with burial costs for their loved ones whose organs have saved countless lives. Kaufman also works closely with those who help build relationships with donor families and spread awareness about the importance of organ donation. 54． Why did Kaufman talk about her memory in Paragraph 1? A．To suggest the importance of life. B．To remember her dull and boring days. C．To show the reason for paying back. D．To confirm her love for the profession. 55． For a transplant patient, admission into the hospital requires the following EXCEPT ________. A．health insurance B．nearby housing C．financial security D．affordable transportation 56． Which of the following best describes Kaufman? A．Brave and caring. B．Grateful and warm-hearted. C．Practical and hard-working. D．Loyal and easy-going. 【答案】54．C 55．A 56．B 【详解】本文讲述了Kaufman在经历重病和心脏移植后创办非营利组织Ava’s Heart，帮助器官移植患者及捐献者家庭的故事。 54．推理判断题。根据下文“After volunteering in Los Angeles hospitals, Kaufman started the non-profit organization—Ava’s Heart. ... including food, gas, co-pays on medicines, and housing.”可知，第二段及下文都在介绍Kaufman和她的非营利组织帮助其他的病人故事，而她所做的这些都是源于第一段提到的她被别人救了，即第一段提及她的经历是为了阐明她去帮助别人的原因。故选C。 55．细节理解题。根据“Patients must be financially secure (经济保障的) and be able to afford transportation. What’s more, they must find accommodations (住所) near their transplant hospital.”可知，病人必须在医院附近有住处、有经济保障、并且能负担得起交通才能进医院治疗，没有提到医保。故选A。 56．推理判断题。根据“After volunteering in Los Angeles hospitals, Kaufman started the non-profit organization—Ava’s Heart.”可知，Kaufman做志愿者并且创办非营利组织帮助病人，可见她是一个热心且感恩的人。故选B。 C Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism. Their critics (批评家) seem to hate them because they have so much money to throw around. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays. The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods is largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement. Lots of people pretend (假装) that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall while waiting for a train? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the incidents and disasters. We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmers is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price! Another thing we mustn’t forget is the “small ads.” What a useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch” column (栏目) but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony” column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature.

The tool counts flowers on fruit trees, which can help farmers improve crop yields and make better use of their resources such as water and labor, and to plan harvests. The system, developed by researchers at the National Robotarium in Edinburgh, can calculate the number of flowers on fruit trees from photos taken by a smart phone. It works by recognizing (识别) patterns and features, such as the edges and shapes of flowers. In Spain, studies on peach trees showed the system to be 90% correct in flower counts, which is much better than the 30% to 50% mistakes made by humans, according to researchers. “In countries all across the world, farmers often depend on traditional methods to predict their yields, which can lead to big mistakes,” said Fernando Auat Cheein, a professor at the National Robotarium. He also praised the simplicity and correctness of the flower-counting AI and its possibility to help farmers make wise decisions about crop management. “By focusing their efforts on areas of the farm that are expected to produce the most fruit, farmers can make the most of resources, reduce their environmental effect, and improve both the quantity and quality of their harvest,” said Mr. Cheein. “Our AI tool can be combined with traditional farming practices, making it easier for growers to get help with creative solutions without completely changing their present methods.” The researchers will next compare the AI’s predictions with the actual peach harvest in the autumn of 2024. If these turn out to be effective (有效的) , they believe the method could be used for crops such as apples, pears, and cherries, helping fruit growers in Britain, Europe, and other areas. 61． What is the purpose of new AI tool? A．To harvest crops. B．To water fruit trees. C．To predict crop yields. D．To speed up the crop growth. 62． How can the AI system calculate the number of the flowers from photos? A．It can take photos by a smart phone. B．It recognizes many types of flowers. C．It works by recognizing patterns and features. D．It can depend on traditional methods to calculate the number of flowers. 63． What words best describe the AI system according to Paragraph 3? A．Helpful and promising (有前景的) . B．Creative and expensive. C．Practical and interesting. D．Convenient and eco-friendly. 64． Why does the author mention Mr. Cheein’s words in Paragraph 4? A．To offer suggestions on using the AI system. B．To show the help farmers can get from AI system. C．To explain the need for improving the quality of crops. D．To compare traditional farming methods with the new AI system. 65． What is the researchers’ next step? A．Trying the AI system for more fruits. B．Putting the AI system into the market. C．Testing the AI system in different countries. D．Checking the effectiveness of the Al prediction. 【答案】61．C 62．C 63．A 64．B 65．D 【详解】本文主要介绍了一种新的AI技术，它可以帮助农民预测农作物的产量。 61．细节理解题。根据“A new AI system can be used to make predictions on crop yields (产量) up to six months before harvest (收获) .”可知，新AI工具的目的是预测农作物产量。故选C。 62．细节理解题。根据“The system, developed by researchers at the National Robotarium in Edinburgh, can calculate the number of flowers on fruit trees from photos taken by a smart phone.
