From insects to plant bodies, young Earle was amazed by it all. She lived on a farm, and she had wildlife within walking distance from her house. Her parents never held her back and only encouraged her to learn more about these things. At an early age, Earle and her family moved to Clearwater, Florida. This allowed Earle to develop a unique understanding and appreciation for all kinds of nature. The educational journey of Earle went smoothly. She studied at Florida State University and supported herself by working at college laboratories. As a result of her excellent academic performance, Earle worked as a Harvard research member in 1967. Like many women in the work field, Earle had to carry out two work shifts (轮班) every day: one at her home and the other at her office. In 1964, she had to leave behind her children for a six-week expedition (考察) in the Indian Ocean. Then, in 1968, she had to travel a hundred feet below the waters of the Bahamas in the submersible (潜水器) Deep Diver while she was four months pregnant (怀孕). These amazing efforts of Earle for the field of oceanography set her apart from other scientists. In 1979, she became the first woman to walk the ocean floor 381 meters below the surface. In 1970, she headed an all-women expedition 50 feet underwater for two weeks. She led the team of oceanographers’ research aboard the Tektite underwater laboratory. After winning much fame from the expedition, Earle moved on to write for National Geographic. Under the National Geographic Society, she led the five-year program of Sustainable Seas Expeditions from 1998 to 2002. She even became a speaker to let the public know about environmental damage. All the work of Earle has proved to benefit to the world. Her dream is to help the ocean bodies remain strong. 31. The underlined word “unique” in Paragraph 1 means ________. A. uncertain B. unusual C. careful D. complete 32. We can learn when Earle was very young, she ________. A. lived a lonely life B. showed amazing creative abilities C. was fairly crazy about nature D. was strictly controlled by her parents 33. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that Earle’s work ________. A. was harmful to her health B. did her family lots of good C. was traditional but interesting D. required her all-out efforts 34. What may be people’s attitude to Earle’s expedition in 1970? A. Awful. B. Appreciative C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful. 35. The author writes the passage mainly to ________. A. honor a hero for the planet B. encourage women to study the sea C. introduce ocean exploration D. draw public’s attention to ocean protection 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Earle在海洋探险和保护海洋做出的巨大贡献。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Her parents never held her back and only encouraged her to learn more about these things.”以及“This allowed Earle to develop a unique understanding and appreciation for all kinds of nature.”可知，她父母从不拖后腿，鼓励她更多了解这些事情，这允许Earle对各种自然产生独特的理解和欣赏。故划线单词“unique”意为“独特的”，unusual与其意思相近。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Born in 193 in New Jersey, Dr Sylvia Earle would spend her days in the wild simply exploring the beautiful wonders of it.”可知，Earle从小对大自然非常着迷。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“in 1968, she had to travel a hundred feet below the waters of the Bahamas in the submersible (潜水器) Deep Diver while she was four months pregnant (怀孕) . These amazing efforts of Earle for the field of oceanography set her apart from other scientists.”可推知，Earle的工作非常辛苦，需要她付出全部努力。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“After winning much fame from the expedition, Earle moved on to write for National Geographic.”可知，她从探险中赢得了很多名声，故推测出公众对她的考察表示赞赏。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了Earle在海洋探险和保护海洋做出的巨大贡献，故作者写这篇文章主要是为了表彰这位保护地球的英雄。故选A。 C Name a famous elephant. Babar, perhaps? Or Dumbo? These names are easy for us to remember. However, they sound nothing like the names elephants give to each other. If you’re an elephant, your name is something more like a low rumbling (隆隆的) sound. Scientists have found that African savannah elephants (草原象) appear to have names for one another. ★ The receivers also react to these calls. This means elephants may be the first non-human animals to call each other by names. The new study was carried out by a group of researchers from Colorado State University. In the study, the team recorded 625 elephant calls in Kenya. Some of these were contact rumbles. This usually happens when the elephants can’t see each other. Others were greeting rumbles. They take place when the elephants see each other again after some time apart. The researchers carefully studied these using a machine learning model The model predicted which elephant the call was directed towards. The results suggested that certain calls were made to separate (区分) receivers. Scientists then played back some of these calls to 17 wild elephants. It turned out that they moved more quickly toward the sound of their own “name”. What’s more, different elephants often used the same sort of rumbles to communicate with the same receiver. And the calls were not just for broad social roles such as “mother”. Of all the rumbles recorded, only about a fifth were separate names. This is quite similar to how humans use names as well. Oftentimes, names aren’t necessary in a situation. “Rather than a whole stand-alone call, elephant calls may include several other messages,” the researchers explain. “We’re not skilled enough to figure out what they’re saying.” However, the findings suggest AI really can help us better understand animal communication. Maybe one day, researchers can even use this knowledge to call elephants by their actual names. 36. The first paragraph is mainly written to ______. A. attract the readers’ interest in the passage B give a scientific report about elephants C. present the writer’s opinion D. stress the importance of elephants 37. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. The names are different from those of human beings. B. Scientists are trying their best to study the names. C. They keep in touch by calling out each other’s “names.” D. Names play an important part in their daily life. 38. The underlined word “these” refers to ______. A. 625 elephant calls B. contact rumbles C. greeting rumbles D. elephants’ names 39. What can we learn from the passage? A. Elephants are the first animals to call each other by names. B. Contact rumbles happen when the elephants see each other again. C. Scientists are able to fully understand animal communication. D. The machine learning model plays an important part in the research. 40. What can be the best title for the passage? A. How do elephants contact each other B. Why do elephants make their voice C. Do elephants name one another D. Do elephants like to be called 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. A 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家发现非洲草原象似乎会互相给对方取名字，通过研究大象的叫声，利用机器学习模型分析，发现某些叫声是用于区分接收者的，且大象会对自己的“名字”叫声有反应，还提到这一发现表明人工智能可以帮助我们更好地理解动物交流。 【36题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Scientists have found that African savannah elephants (草原象) appear to have names for one another.”以及后文围绕大象互相叫“名字”展开的描述可知，第一段通过列举我们能记住的大象名字，引出大象互相给对方取名字这一话题，主要是为了吸引读者对文章的兴趣。故选A。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The receivers also react to these calls. This means elephants may be the first non - human animals to call each other by names.”可知，接收者会对这些叫声做出反应，意味着大象可能是第一个用名字互相称呼的非人类动物，所以空格处应是与大象用“名字”交流相关的内容，C选项“它们通过叫对方的‘名字’来保持联系”符合语境。故选C。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Scientists then played back some of these calls to 17 wild elephants.”以及前文“In the study, the team recorded 625 elephant calls in Kenya.”可知，科学家播放的是之前记录的大象的叫声，所以“these”指代的是“625 elephant calls”。故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The researchers carefully studied these using a machine learning model. The model predicted which elephant the call was directed towards. The results suggested that certain calls were made to separate (区分) receivers.”可知，研究人员使用机器学习模型仔细研究这些叫声，模型预测叫声是针对哪头大象的，结果表明某些叫声是为了区分接收者，所以机器学习模型在研究中起着重要作用。故选D。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。文章主要围绕科学家发现非洲草原象似乎会互相给对方取名字展开，介绍了研究过程和发现等，所以最佳标题是“Do elephants name one another”（大象会互相给对方取名字吗）。故选C。 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题共40分) 五、词与短语填空 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，用方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、句义和逻辑上正确。(提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。) mysteries/national/compared with/learn/valuable/completed/shared with Recently, our scientists have begun digging a really deep hole down to the center of the earth in Xinjiang, hoping to ___41___ what is happening inside the planet.

In fact, these girls can also show their own beauty through Hanfu and introduce traditional Chinese culture. A 200-pound girl wearing Hanfu on Guofeng Grand Ceremony became an online hit on social media, winning praises from netizens. Fair skinned or sun kissed A new form of sun protection is sweeping Asia—wearing a full-face mask to protect against the sun. This is because Asians generally believe that fair skin makes them look cleaner and healthier. However, foreign netizens. think that sun-kissed skin is the symbol of health and beauty.

The latest beauty products C. Common health problems D. Fascinating traditional culture B Born in 193 in New Jersey, Dr Sylvia Earle would spend her days in the wild simply exploring the beautiful wonders of it. From insects to plant bodies, young Earle was amazed by it all. She lived on a farm, and she had wildlife within walking distance from her house. Her parents never held her back and only encouraged her to learn more about these things. At an early age, Earle and her family moved to Clearwater, Florida. This allowed Earle to develop a unique understanding and appreciation for all kinds of nature. The educational journey of Earle went smoothly. She studied at Florida State University and supported herself by working at college laboratories. As a result of her excellent academic performance, Earle worked as a Harvard research member in 1967. Like many women in the work field Earle had to carry out two work shifts (轮班) every day: one at her home and the other at her office. In 1964, she had to leave behind her children for a six-week expedition (考察) in the Indian Ocean. Then, in 1968, she had to travel a hundred feet below the waters of the Bahamas in the submersible (潜水器) Deep Diver while she was four months pregnant (怀孕). These amazing efforts of Earle for the field of oceanography set her apart from other scientists. In 1979, she became the first woman to walk the ocean floor 381 meters below the surface. In 1970, she headed an all-women expedition 50 feet underwater for two weeks. She led the team of oceanographers’ research aboard the Tektite underwater laboratory. After winning much fame from the expedition, Earle moved on to write for National Geographic. Under the National Geographic Society, she led the five-year program of Sustainable Seas Expeditions from 1998 to 2002. She even became a speaker to let the public know about environmental damage. All the work of Earle has proved to benefit to the world. Her dream is to help the ocean bodies remain strong. 31. The underlined word “unique” in Paragraph 1 means ________. A. uncertain B. unusual C. careful D. complete 32. We can learn when Earle was very young, she ________. A. lived a lonely life B. showed amazing creative abilities C. was fairly crazy about nature D. was strictly controlled by her parents 33. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that Earle’s work ________. A was harmful to her health B. did her family lots of good C. was traditional but interesting D. required her all-out efforts 34. What may be people’s attitude to Earle’s expedition in 1970? A. Awful. B. Appreciative C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful. 35. The author writes the passage mainly to ________. A. honor a hero for the planet B. encourage women to study the sea C. introduce ocean exploration D. draw public’s attention to ocean protection C Name a famous elephant. Babar, perhaps? Or Dumbo? These names are easy for us to remember. However, they sound nothing like the names elephants give to each other. If you’re an elephant, your name is something more like a low rumbling (隆隆的) sound. Scientists have found that African savannah elephants (草原象) appear to have names for one another. ★ The receivers also react to these calls. This means elephants may be the first non-human animals to call each other by names. The new study was carried out by a group of researchers from Colorado State University. In the study, the team recorded 625 elephant calls in Kenya. Some of these were contact rumbles. This usually happens when the elephants can’t see each other. Others were greeting rumbles. They take place when the elephants see each other again after some time apart. The researchers carefully studied these using a machine learning model. The model predicted which elephant the call was directed towards. The results suggested that certain calls were made to separate (区分) receivers. Scientists then played back some of these calls to 17 wild elephants. It turned out that they moved more quickly toward the sound of their own “name”. What’s more, different elephants often used the same sort of rumbles to communicate with the same receiver. And the calls were not just for broad social roles such as “mother”. Of all the rumbles recorded, only about a fifth were separate names. This is quite similar to how humans use names as well. Oftentimes, names aren’t necessary in a situation. “Rather than a whole stand-alone call, elephant calls may include several other messages,” the researchers explain. “We’re not skilled enough to figure out what they’re saying.” However, the findings suggest AI really can help us better understand animal communication. Maybe one day, researchers can even use this knowledge to call elephants by their actual names. 36. The first paragraph is mainly written to ______. A. attract the readers’ interest in the passage B. give a scientific report about elephants C. present the writer’s opinion D. stress the importance of elephants 37. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. The names are different from those of human beings. B. Scientists are trying their best to study the names. C. They keep in touch by calling out each other’s “names.” D. Names play an important part in their daily life. 38. The underlined word “these” refers to ______. A. 625 elephant calls B. contact rumbles C. greeting rumbles D. elephants’ names 39. What can we learn from the passage? A. Elephants are the first animals to call each other by names. B. Contact rumbles happen when the elephants see each other again. C. Scientists are able to fully understand animal communication. D. The machine learning model plays an important part in the research. 40. What can be the best title for the passage? A. How do elephants contact each other B. Why do elephants make their voice C. Do elephants name one another D. Do elephants like to be called 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题共40分) 五、词与短语填空 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，用方框中所给单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、句义和逻辑上正确。(提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。) mysteries/national/compared with/learn/valuable/completed/shared with Recently, our scientists have begun digging a really deep hole down to the center of the earth in Xinjiang, hoping to ___41___ what is happening inside the planet.
