Without a doubt, high temperatures will have deep influences on the development of the area. That shows the growing risk to humans caused by extreme (极端的) weather. With more and more extreme weather events, we must find better techniques to make predictions (预测) about them.   AI is a powerful tool. It can deal with information and provide advice to help us better understand and make predictions about the weather. Traditional weather models use information from satellites (卫星). But these models have their disadvantages: they are not very exact. They also fail to discover complex conditions of the air around the earth.         AI can overcome (克服) these disadvantages by using the technology of deep learning. It can learn from historical and real-time information and produce trustworthy predictions. AI can also deal with information from different places, such as satellite photos or online posts, to provide clearer pictures of the weather situation. A paper on the Pangu-Weather AI model has drawn a lot of attention. Pangu-Weather is the first AI prediction model that is more exact than traditional weather prediction methods. This model can increase the prediction speed by 10,000 times, making global weather prediction time drop to seconds. In May 2023, Typhoon Mawar appeared in the Pacific Ocean. According to the China Meteorological Administration, Pangu-Weather made exact predictions about the direction of Mawar five days before it changed its way in the eastern waters of the islands of Taiwan. 34．Which of the following is TRUE? A．High temperatures will have few influences on the area. B．The Middle East is warming faster than the rest of the world. C．Traditional weather models can discover complex conditions of the air around the earth. D．Traditional weather models use information from satellites and are very exact. 35．How can AI overcome the disadvantages of traditional weather models? A．By using information from satellites. B．By only learning from real-time information. C．By using the technology of deep learning. D．By dealing with information from the same places. 36．Why is Typhoon Mawar mentioned? A．To show how exact Pangu-Weather’s predictions are. B．To tell us about the risks of extreme weather. C．To talk about how useless traditional weather models are. D．To express that the problems of extreme weather have been solved completely. 37．What might be the best title of the text? A．The Risks of Extreme Weather B．The Pangu-Weather AI Model C．The Climate Change in the Middle East D．AI-The Powerful Tool of Weather Prediction 【答案】34．B 35．C 36．A 37．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了AI在天气预测方面的应用，以及其相较于传统天气预测模型的优势。 34．细节理解题。根据“the Middle East is warming almost twice as fast as the rest of the world.”可知，中东地区的升温速度比世界其它地区快。故选B。 35．细节理解题。根据“AI can overcome (克服) these disadvantages by using the technology of deep learning.”可知，AI通过深度学习技术来克服传统天气预测模型的缺点。故选C。 36．推理判断题。根据“According to the China Meteorological Administration, Pangu-Weather made exact predictions about the direction of Mawar five days before it changed its way in the eastern waters of the islands of Taiwan.”可知，台风Mawar的提及是为了展示Pangu-Weather的预测准确性。故选A。 37．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了AI在天气预测方面的应用，以及其相较于传统天气预测模型的优势，故“人工智能——天气预报的强大工具”符合本文标题。故选D。 C Wake up early enough and you may hear a pleasant chorus of birds singing their tiny hearts out. This is a natural thing for birds, but why? According to the Woodland Trust, this early singing can start as early as 4 a.m. and last for several hours. Birds do it to attract mates and ask other birds to stay away from their area. One idea about why they choose the early morning to send these important messages is because the low visibility (能见度) makes it hard to do other bird activities, like hunting food. Since there’s nothing to do, they choose to sing instead. Another idea is that birds use the morning songs to show a picture of strong body. By singing, they’re letting other birds know they’ve survived (存活) the night and would make for an excellent mate. Like a good recording studio, the early morning hours also let birds send clear sounds thanks to the cooler, drier air. As birds have different voices, that helps other birds nearby identify them more easily. There used to be a popular idea that birds sang so much in the mornings because the sounds could travel to farther places with less air turbulence (气流). But researchers at the University of Western Ontario proved (证明) it wrong in 2003. They played recordings of sparrows at dawn (early morning) and midday. The songs didn’t travel farther, but they were more consistent (连贯的). Because birds only have so much energy to sing out, singing when it can be heard makes sense. For a bird, the early morning singing is like having the wonderful sound environment for their performance. 38．Why do birds sing at dawn instead of during the day according to Paragraph 2? A．They can send clear sounds. B．They want to show they are strong. C．They need to hunt for more food. D．They can possibly do nothing but sing. 39．What does the underlined word “identify” most probably mean? A．Hunt other animals or birds. B．Create something new. C．Find somebody or something. D．Prevent something bad. 40．What does the writer think of birds’ early singing? A．Birds’ early singing is pleasant and it’s natural for birds. B．Less air turbulence makes birds’ early singing travel farther. C．The early singing can start at dawn and last for several hours. D．The early singing shows they’re strong enough to be an excellent mate. 41．What is this passage mainly about? A．Showing how to better watch the birds. B．Discussing why birds sing at dawn. C．Introducing all kinds of birds’ songs. D．Asking humans to care about birds. 【答案】38．D 39．C 40．A 41．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了鸟儿们为什么在早晨唱歌的相关观点。 38．细节理解题。根据“One idea about why they choose the early morning to send these important messages is because the low visibility makes it hard to do other bird activities, like hunting food. Since there’s nothing to do, they choose to sing instead.” 可知因为早上能见度低，没什么事能做所以唱歌，故选D。 39．词义猜测题。根据“As birds have different voices, that helps other birds nearby identify them more easily.” 可知不同声音能让其他鸟更容易识别它们，所以identify更贴近“辨认、识别”之意，故选C。 40．细节理解题。根据“Wake up early enough and you may hear a pleasant chorus of birds singing their tiny hearts out. This is a natural thing for birds” 可知作者认为鸟儿清晨歌唱是愉快且自然的，故选A。 41．主旨大意题。根据“Wake up early enough and you may hear a pleasant chorus of birds singing their tiny hearts out. This is a natural thing for birds, but why?”及全文可知文章主要讨论了鸟儿为什么在黎明唱歌，故选B。 D Mary began to like her life here. Every morning, she went outside after breakfast and spent most of the day in the grounds.

The wind roared around the house, and the doors and windows banged. Mary listened, and through the noise she thought that she heard a child crying. “Can you hear someone crying?” she asked Martha. Martha seemed pretty nervous. “No,” she answered. “It’s only the wind or the servant who works in the kitchen. She’s got a toothache. Perhaps she’s crying. I’m going to check if she needs any help.” After the words. Martha left the room quickly. When Martha left her alone. Mary decided to explore the house. She went quietly along corridors and up and down stairs. In the silence of the house she heard again the sound of a child crying. She stopped to listen at a door, but then another door opened and Mrs. Medlock came out, “What are you doing here?” she said, and she took Mary by the arm and pulled her away. “Get back to your room at once.” —Adapted from The Secret Garden 42．From Paragraph One, we know _________.

Lip-Lip attacked him whenever he could. He was bigger and stronger than White Fang and always won their fights. White Fang knew that he could not win a fight against Lip-Lip. He thought that he had to do something else to teach the dog a lesson. One day, he was playing at a river bank when he saw Lip-Lip come. He suddenly got a good idea. He pretended (假装) to be hurt and unable to run fast. When Lip-Lip ran after him, he led Lip-Lip to the place where his mother stayed. When Lip-Lip got close to her, she turned Lip-Lip over and bit him until she let him go, but White Fang had a bigger problem. Lip-Lip was the leader of the other dogs. They followed him and obeyed him. None of them would become friends with White Fang. Whenever he came near them, they attacked him. White Fang was always alone. He was never allowed to play with the other dogs. This made him unhappy and angry. He often forgot how to behave well. Several days later, White Fang saw a man take his mother in a small boat. He tried to follow them. He jumped into the river and swam after the boat. Another man came after White Fang in his boat. He lifted White Fang out of the water. White Fang tried to get away from the man, but the man hit him and threw him into the boat. White Fang was now very angry because he wanted to be with his mother. He forgot how powerful men were, and he bit the man. The man was so angry that he beat White Fang again and again. The man hurt him badly. White Fang finally learned that he couldn’t bite a man because if he did, he would be beaten badly. —Taken from White Fang 56．Why did White Fang always lose the fights with Lip-Lip? 57．What did White Fang do when he could not win a fight against Lip-Lip? 58．How did White Fang feel when the other dogs wouldn’t be friends with him? 59．Why did White Fang follow the boat with his mother in it? 60．What may White Fang do according to the last paragraph? 【答案】56． Because he was smaller and weaker than Lip-Lip./Because Lip-Lip was bigger and stronger than White Fang. 57． He taught Lip-Lip a lesson./He had an idea to teach Lip-Lip a lesson./He decided to teach Lip-Lip a lesson./He pretended to be hurt and unable to run fast. 58．He felt unhappy and angry./Unhappy and angry. 59．Because he wanted to be with his mother. 60． He may keep away from people./He may be afraid of people./He may not bite people any more./He may obey the man.（本题为开放性试题，言之成理即可。） 【导语】本文是一篇一篇记叙文。节选自《白芳传奇》，介绍了名为“White Fang”的小狼经常被Lip-Lip攻击，被孤立没有朋友，并被人打伤的故事。 56．根据“He was bigger and stronger than White Fang and always won their fights.”可知，White Fang打不过Lip-Lip是因为他很很弱小。故填Because he was smaller and weaker than Lip-Lip./Because Lip-Lip was bigger and stronger than White Fang. 57．根据“He thought that he had to do something else to teach the dog a lesson.”可知，打架输了后，White Fang想要给Lip-Lip一个教训。故填He taught Lip-Lip a lesson./He had an idea to teach Lip-Lip a lesson./He decided to teach Lip-Lip a lesson./He pretended to be hurt and unable to run fast. 58．根据“This made him unhappy and angry.”可知，别的狗不和White Fang玩，这令他又生气不高兴。故填He felt unhappy and angry./Unhappy and angry. 59．根据“White Fang was now very angry because he wanted to be with his mother.”可知，White Fang跟上了船是因为他想和母亲在一起。故填Because he wanted to be with his mother. 60．根据“White Fang finally learned that he couldn’t bite a man because if he did, he would be beaten badly.”可知，White Fang以后可能会离人类远远的。故填He may keep away from people./He may be afraid of people./He may not bite people any more./He may obey the man.（本题为开放性试题，言之成理即可。） 六、缺词填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整，完整地写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词） What is your impression of Denmark (丹麦)?

B According to a recent study, the Middle East is warming almost twice as fast as the rest of the world. Without a doubt, high temperatures will have deep influences on the development of the area. That shows the growing risk to humans caused by extreme (极端的) weather. With more and more extreme weather events, we must find better techniques to make predictions (预测) about them.   AI is a powerful tool. It can deal with information and provide advice to help us better understand and make predictions about the weather. Traditional weather models use information from satellites (卫星). But these models have their disadvantages: they are not very exact. They also fail to discover complex conditions of the air around the earth.         AI can overcome (克服) these disadvantages by using the technology of deep learning. It can learn from historical and real-time information and produce trustworthy predictions. AI can also deal with information from different places, such as satellite photos or online posts, to provide clearer pictures of the weather situation. A paper on the Pangu-Weather AI model has drawn a lot of attention. Pangu-Weather is the first AI prediction model that is more exact than traditional weather prediction methods. This model can increase the prediction speed by 10,000 times, making global weather prediction time drop to seconds. In May 2023, Typhoon Mawar appeared in the Pacific Ocean. According to the China Meteorological Administration, Pangu-Weather made exact predictions about the direction of Mawar five days before it changed its way in the eastern waters of the islands of Taiwan. 34．Which of the following is TRUE? A．High temperatures will have few influences on the area. B．The Middle East is warming faster than the rest of the world. C．Traditional weather models can discover complex conditions of the air around the earth. D．Traditional weather models use information from satellites and are very exact. 35．How can AI overcome the disadvantages of traditional weather models? A．By using information from satellites. B．By only learning from real-time information. C．By using the technology of deep learning. D．By dealing with information from the same places. 36．Why is Typhoon Mawar mentioned? A．To show how exact Pangu-Weather’s predictions are. B．To tell us about the risks of extreme weather. C．To talk about how useless traditional weather models are. D．To express that the problems of extreme weather have been solved completely. 37．What might be the best title of the text? A．The Risks of Extreme Weather B．The Pangu-Weather AI Model C．The Climate Change in the Middle East D．AI-The Powerful Tool of Weather Prediction C Wake up early enough and you may hear a pleasant chorus of birds singing their tiny hearts out. This is a natural thing for birds, but why? According to the Woodland Trust, this early singing can start as early as 4 a.m. and last for several hours. Birds do it to attract mates and ask other birds to stay away from their area. One idea about why they choose the early morning to send these important messages is because the low visibility (能见度) makes it hard to do other bird activities, like hunting food. Since there’s nothing to do, they choose to sing instead. Another idea is that birds use the morning songs to show a picture of strong body. By singing, they’re letting other birds know they’ve survived (存活) the night and would make for an excellent mate. Like a good recording studio, the early morning hours also let birds send clear sounds thanks to the cooler, drier air. As birds have different voices, that helps other birds nearby identify them more easily. There used to be a popular idea that birds sang so much in the mornings because the sounds could travel to farther places with less air turbulence (气流). But researchers at the University of Western Ontario proved (证明) it wrong in 2003. They played recordings of sparrows at dawn (early morning) and midday. The songs didn’t travel farther, but they were more consistent (连贯的). Because birds only have so much energy to sing out, singing when it can be heard makes sense. For a bird, the early morning singing is like having the wonderful sound environment for their performance. 38．Why do birds sing at dawn instead of during the day according to Paragraph 2? A．They can send clear sounds. B．They want to show they are strong. C．They need to hunt for more food. D．They can possibly do nothing but sing. 39．What does the underlined word “identify” most probably mean? A．Hunt other animals or birds. B．Create something new. C．Find somebody or something. D．Prevent something bad. 40．What does the writer think of birds’ early singing? A．Birds’ early singing is pleasant and it’s natural for birds. B．Less air turbulence makes birds’ early singing travel farther. C．The early singing can start at dawn and last for several hours. D．The early singing shows they’re strong enough to be an excellent mate. 41．What is this passage mainly about? A．Showing how to better watch the birds. B．Discussing why birds sing at dawn. C．Introducing all kinds of birds’ songs. D．Asking humans to care about birds. D Mary began to like her life here. Every morning, she went outside after breakfast and spent most of the day in the grounds. The cold wind brought pink to her face. And she finished all of her food each evening. She was much healthier. After dinner, she liked sitting near the fire and talking to Martha. “Why does Mr. Craven hate the locked garden?” Mary asked once. “It was Mrs. Craven’s garden and she loved it. She looked after the flowers together with Mr. Craven. No gardeners were allowed in.” “But what happened?” Mary asked, “There was an old tree in the garden with a branch (树枝) like a seat, Mrs. Craven often sat there, reading and talking. One day, the branch broke and she fell down. She was badly hurt and died soon. Mr. Craven locked the garden and never talked about it.” Mary seldom felt sorry for anyone, but now she understood how sad her uncle must be. The wind roared around the house, and the doors and windows banged. Mary listened, and through the noise she thought that she heard a child crying. “Can you hear someone crying?” she asked Martha. Martha seemed pretty nervous. “No,” she answered. “It’s only the wind or the servant who works in the kitchen. She’s got a toothache. Perhaps she’s crying.
