In Old Delhi, when the sun sets, whistles and shouts rise from roofs as flocks of pigeons (鸽子) take to the sky. This scene, known as kabootarazi, dates back to ancient courts (宫廷) and reached its height under the Mughal rulers. More than a pastime, it is a living tradition that expresses identity and belonging. For centuries, it has been passed down from father to son, forming a strict system in which the most skilled are honored as masters. Yet, this male-dominated world has been reshaped by one remarkable woman, Shaheen Parveen.
Parveen is the only female pigeon keeper in Delhi. By day, she is a wife, a mother, and a grandmother. But in the evening, she climbs to her rooftop, tending to her pigeons with care. She checks their health, prepares a special grain mix, and trains them through calls and gestures. Her voice, sharp and confident, often rises above the chorus of men around her, drawing neighbors to watch. “They are like my children,” she says. “Without them, I feel unwell.”
Her journey has not been easy. Encouraged by her father but opposed by her brother and criticized by neighbors, she faced doubts about whether a woman should take part in kabootarazi. Still, she kept on, driven by passion. Her turning point came when her pigeons won a major race against seasoned trainers, earning her applause, gifts, and respect from the people in this area. “It felt like India had won the World Cup,” Parveen recalls with a smile.
Today, respected pigeon keepers support her with feed and medicine, while travelers and social media creators flood to witness the ancient sport. Through Parveen, the tradition lives on, enriched with new meaning. As night falls, she calls her birds, and they return swiftly. “They know my voice, and I know theirs,” she says. This lasting tie shows the heart of kabootarazi: a tradition of culture, strength, and love that continues to rise.
4. What can be inferred about kabootarazi?
A. It dates back to ancient grassroots.
B. It involves training and racing pigeons.
C. It is nothing but a job of selling pigeons.
D. It has been passed down among females.
5. Which best describes Parveen’s feeling towards pigeons?

6. What did pigeons’ win bring for Parveen?
A. Criticism from seasoned trainers.
B. Recognition from her community.
C. A desire to win more Indian races.
D. A chance to attend the World Cup.
7. What does the last paragraph stress about kabootarazi?
A. Its disappearance. B. Its operation rules.
C. The importance of preserving it. D. The lack of attention to it.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C

Artificial intelligence (AI) is known for solving problems and answering questions, but can it handle emotionally sensitive situations? A team of researchers from the University of Geneva and the University of Bern tested six advanced AI systems, including a popular chatbot, using emotional intelligence tests designed for humans. The results were surprising: These AIs performed better than the average human and even created new emotional intelligence tests in a short time. This discovery suggests that AI can be useful in areas like teaching, personal coaching, and resolving conflicts.
The study focused on how well AI could respond to emotionally charged scenarios. For example, one test presented a dilemma: What should Michael do after finding that a colleague had stolen his project idea and later received public praise for it? The options included arguing with the colleague, talking to a manager, silently feeling upset, or taking a similarly underhanded step in return. A proper answer was to talk to a manager. Researchers compared the AI’s answers to those of human participants. On average, the AI scored 82% correct answers, while humans achieved only 56%. This shows that AI not only understands emotions but also knows how to act with emotional intelligence.
In another part of the study, researchers asked the chatbot to create new emotional intelligence tests. These tests were given to over 400 people, who found them just as clear and realistic as traditional tests that took years to develop. Marcello Mortillaro, a senior scientist at the University of Geneva, explained that this ability proves AI has emotional knowledge and can think about feelings logically.
These findings suggest that AI could assist in areas once thought to require the human ability, such as education or conflict resolution. However, experts stress that AI should still be guided and monitored by humans. While AI may not feel emotions itself, its ability to understand and reason about them opens exciting possibilities for the future.
8. What is the researchers’ view on AI’s emotional intelligence?
A. It’s lower than the average human’s. B. It’s the first breakthrough in research.
C. It’s unreliable in real-world applications. D. It’s a tool for improving human skills.
9. What does the underlined word “underhanded” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Fast and correct. B. Public and direct.
C. Secret and dishonest. D. Complex and misunderstood.
10. Why does the author mention the tests created by the chatbot?
A. To underscore humans’ logical thinking.
B. To prove traditional testing’s drawbacks.
C. To argue for AI’s overall advantage in studies.
D. To provide evidence for a scientific conclusion.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A New Study Questions the Usefulness of AI
B. AI Advances into Human Emotional Intelligence
C. The Emotional Conflict Between AI and Humans
D. The Challenges of Teaching AI About Human Feelings
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了两所大学研究者测试AI情商,发现其表现优于普通人且能设计相关测试,AI可助力多领域,不过其应用仍需人类的指导与监督。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“This discovery suggests that AI can be useful in areas like teaching, personal coaching, and resolving conflicts. (这一发现表明,人工智能在教学、个人辅导和解决冲突等领域都能发挥作用)”及最后一段“These findings suggest that AI could assist in areas once thought to require the human ability, (这些发现表明,人工智能可以在那些曾被认为需要人类能力的领域提供帮助)”可知,研究者认为AI的情商能成为提升人类技能的工具。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“For example, one test presented a dilemma: What should Michael do after finding that a colleague had stolen his project idea and later received public praise for it? The options included arguing with the colleague, talking to a manager, silently feeling upset, or taking a similarly underhanded step in return. (例如,一项测试提出了一个两难境地:迈克尔发现一位同事窃取了他的项目想法,后来又因此获得了公众的赞誉,他该怎么办?这些选择包括与同事争论、与经理交谈、默默地感到沮丧,或者采取类似的underhanded手段作为回报)”可知,同事的行为是不诚实的,similarly表明该词与“窃取想法”的不诚信属性相关,意为“秘密且不诚实的”。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Marcello Mortillaro, a senior scientist at the University of Geneva, explained that this ability proves AI has emotional knowledge and can think about feelings logically. (日内瓦大学的高级科学家Marcello Mortillaro解释说,这种能力证明了人工智能具有情感知识,并且能对情感进行逻辑思考)”可知,作者提及聊天机器人设计的测试,是为了给这一科学结论提供实际证据。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。全文围绕日内瓦和伯尔尼大学的研究者对AI情商的测试展开,核心发现是AI的情商表现优于普通人,还能设计情商测试,在人类情商相关领域具备应用潜力,“人工智能进军人类情感智力领域”概括了文章主旨,适合作为标题。故选B项。
D
Spanish scientist Pilar Bosch has found a way to use bacteria to repair 18th-century paintings. Bosch, a microbiologist, says that she got the idea for the method while considering possibilities for a paper toward her doctoral degree. During this process, she discovered someone else’s paper that suggested bacteria could be used to restore artworks.
At around the same time, Bosch learned that her mother was struggling to find a good method for restoring 18th-century paintings. The paintings, by Spanish artist Antonio Palomino, sat in Santos Juanes, one of the oldest churches in the city of Valencia. Bosch said her mother noted how difficult the restoration process at the church was. One reason was the glue (胶水) on the wall paintings in the 1960s. The substance was nearly impossible to remove completely.
“My mother had a very difficult problem to solve, and I found a paper about bacteria used to clean wall paintings in Italy,” Bosch said. She decided to write her doctoral paper on the same subject. That was more than ten years ago.
Today, Bosch gets to work with her mother on the church restoration. They are using the bacteria method to remove glue from artworks. The $4.46 million project is being financed by local organizations.
The process involves feeding small amounts of the glue — made from animal protein — to the bacteria. After a time, the bacteria begin to naturally produce matters to break down the glue. The mother-daughter team then mixes the bacteria with a natural substance based on algae (海藻), called a gel (凝胶), and places it onto the paintings. They say that after about three hours, the gel mixture is removed, leaving the paintings glue-free.
Bosch’s mother observed that in the past, restorers of artworks had to use traditional cleaning methods that took hours and damaged the painting. She pointed out that several other relatives in the family also work in art restoration. Bosch agreed, saying the work certainly runs in the family.
12. What difficulty did Bosch’s mother have in restoring the paintings?
A. Cleaning their surface.
B. Determining their ages.
C. Removing the bacteria from them.
D. Finding the methods for storing them.
13. Which proverb matches Bosch’s doctoral decision?
A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Knowledge starts with practice.
C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Actions speak louder than words.
14. What does paragraph 5 mainly show about the paintings?
A. The process of removing glue from them.
B. The process of algae’s formation on them.
C. The process of funding the restoration of them.
D. The process of animal protein’s break-down on them.
15. What can we learn about Bosch’s engagement in art restoration?
A. It takes many hours.
B. It uses a traditional method.
C. It is easy to damage paintings.
D. It is a family tradition.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了科学家用细菌修复18世纪画作及家族传承的故事。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Bosch said her mother noted how difficult the restoration process at the church was. One reason was the glue (胶水) on the wall paintings in the 1960s. The substance was nearly impossible to remove completely.(Bosch说,母亲曾跟她提起,教堂内的画作修复工作推进得十分艰难,原因之一是20世纪60年代给壁画涂刷的一层胶水,这种物质几乎无法被彻底清除。)”可知,Bosch的母亲在修复这些画作时遇到的困难是去除壁画表面的胶水。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中““My mother had a very difficult problem to solve, and I found a paper about bacteria used to clean wall paintings in Italy,” Bosch said. She decided to write her doctoral paper on the same subject.(“我母亲有一个非常难解决的问题,而我找到了一篇关于用细菌清洁意大利壁画的论文,”Bosch说。她决定以这个主题写她的博士论文。)”可知,Bosch既解决了母亲修复画作中去除胶水的难题,又找到了自己博士论文的主题,可谓一举两得。C选项“Kill two birds with one stone.(一石二鸟)”符合语境。故选C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段中“The process involves feeding small amounts of the glue — made from animal protein — to the bacteria. After a time, the bacteria begin to naturally produce matters to break down the glue. The mother-daughter team then mixes the bacteria with a natural substance based on algae (海藻), called a gel (凝胶), and places it onto the paintings. They say that after about three hours, the gel mixture is removed, leaving the paintings glue-free.(这个过程包括向细菌喂食少量的由动物蛋白制成的胶水。一段时间后,细菌开始自然产生分解胶水的物质。然后,这对母女将细菌与一种基于海藻的天然物质(称为凝胶)混合,并将其涂抹在画作上。她们说,大约三个小时后,凝胶混合物被移除,画作上就没有胶水了。)”可知,本段主要介绍了从画作上去除胶水的过程。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Bosch agreed, saying the work certainly runs in the family.(Bosch同意这一点,并说这项工作肯定是家族传统。)”可知,Bosch从事艺术修复工作是家族传统。故选D。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For me, English was once a silent monster living in my textbook. I could handle grammar exercises and written tests, but speaking was a whole different story. The moment I opened my mouth, my mind would go blank (空白的). My classmate Ben, who spoke with easy confidence, made my quietness feel even heavier. Ms Clark, our energetic English teacher, noticed my struggle. Our weekly “English Corner” was a personal challenge I always tried to avoid.
The real test came when our school announced a big English play for the yearly show. To my surprise, Ms Clark gave me a main role. “Jake, you have a quiet strength perfect for this character,” she said. My heart sank. Ben, playing my cheerful friend in the play, tried to help me practice during breaks. But my lines were always soft and stiff (生硬的). I feared I would forget everything on stage.
Rehearsals (排练) were pure pain. I would freeze under the stage lights, forgetting lines I had known perfectly. A girl named Sarah from the drama club, who had a small nonspeaking part as a village girl, would sometimes watch from the back. Once, after I completely blanked, I saw her quickly look down at her script, a look of worry on her face. I felt I was dragging the whole class down. Success seemed impossible; I just wanted to disappear.
The week before the show, Ms Clark announced a change. “To make it more real,” she said, “a real exchange student from England will join our play as a traveler!” My heart sank further. Then, I would embarrass myself in front of a native speaker too. We were told that this exchange student was already helping the drama club with the arrangements. I never saw her, but the thought of her perfect English became a heavy weight on my shoulders during every rehearsal. The moment of my greatest panic backstage, however, came with a complete surprise. Ms Clark walked over not with a stranger, but with Sarah.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Jake, come here,” Ms Clark said gently.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the lights came on, I saw Sarah smiling at me from her position.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
“Jake, come here,” Ms Clark said gently. I walked over nervously, my hands sweating. Sarah smiled warmly and said in soft but fluent English, “I’m the exchange student from England. I’ve watched all your rehearsals and know you’re trying your best.” Ms Clark patted my shoulder, adding, “We planned this to give you a push — your lines are great, just speak out bravely.” Sarah then helped me go over the key lines, guiding me to slow down and express the emotions. Her patience calmed my racing heart, and I finally felt a little confident.
When the lights came on, I saw Sarah smiling at me from her position. That smile was like a warm light, chasing away my fear. I took a deep breath and opened my mouth. To my surprise, the lines flowed out smoothly, no longer stiff or soft. I even put in small emotional gestures as Sarah had told me. When the play ended, the audience burst into applause. Ben cheered loudly, and Ms Clark nodded with pride. Afterward, I thanked Sarah sincerely. That night, I realized the “silent monster” of English speaking was never unbeatable — courage was the key to defeating it.

It is the perfect time to start planning summer experiences at outdoor theatres now. There are plenty of outdoor theatres to choose from, and we’ve put together a list of the best ones to visit across the UK.
Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre, Chester
Every summer, Storyhouse builds an entire amphitheatre in Grosvenor Park. This year’s programme features wonderful plays, like The Wizard of Oz and The Importance of Being Earnest. The former is a stage production told through songs and dancing, and the latter is a classic comedy.

Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, London
No matter what the weather is like, when Regent’s Park starts its theatre season, summer has truly begun.

In Old Delhi, when the sun sets, whistles and shouts rise from roofs as flocks of pigeons (鸽子) take to the sky. This scene, known as kabootarazi, dates back to ancient courts (宫廷) and reached its height under the Mughal rulers. More than a pastime, it is a living tradition that expresses identity and belonging. For centuries, it has been passed down from father to son, forming a strict system in which the most skilled are honored as masters. Yet, this male-dominated world has been reshaped by one remarkable woman, Shaheen Parveen.
Parveen is the only female pigeon keeper in Delhi. By day, she is a wife, a mother, and a grandmother. But in the evening, she climbs to her rooftop, tending to her pigeons with care. She checks their health, prepares a special grain mix, and trains them through calls and gestures. Her voice, sharp and confident, often rises above the chorus of men around her, drawing neighbors to watch. “They are like my children,” she says. “Without them, I feel unwell.”
Her journey has not been easy. Encouraged by her father but opposed by her brother and criticized by neighbors, she faced doubts about whether a woman should take part in kabootarazi. Still, she kept on, driven by passion. Her turning point came when her pigeons won a major race against seasoned trainers, earning her applause, gifts, and respect from the people in this area. “It felt like India had won the World Cup,” Parveen recalls with a smile.
Today, respected pigeon keepers support her with feed and medicine, while travelers and social media creators flood to witness the ancient sport. Through Parveen, the tradition lives on, enriched with new meaning. As night falls, she calls her birds, and they return swiftly. “They know my voice, and I know theirs,” she says. This lasting tie shows the heart of kabootarazi: a tradition of culture, strength, and love that continues to rise.
4. What can be inferred about kabootarazi?
A. It dates back to ancient grassroots.
B. It involves training and racing pigeons.
C. It is nothing but a job of selling pigeons.
D. It has been passed down among females.
5. Which best describes Parveen’s feeling towards pigeons?
A Attached. B. Annoyed. C. Curious. D. Uneasy.
6. What did pigeons’ win bring for Parveen?
A. Criticism from seasoned trainers.
B. Recognition from her community.
C. A desire to win more Indian races.
D. A chance to attend the World Cup.
7. What does the last paragraph stress about kabootarazi?
A. Its disappearance. B. Its operation rules.
C. The importance of preserving it. D. The lack of attention to it.
C
Artificial intelligence (AI) is known for solving problems and answering questions, but can it handle emotionally sensitive situations? A team of researchers from the University of Geneva and the University of Bern tested six advanced AI systems, including a popular chatbot, using emotional intelligence tests designed for humans. The results were surprising: These AIs performed better than the average human and even created new emotional intelligence tests in a short time. This discovery suggests that AI can be useful in areas like teaching, personal coaching, and resolving conflicts.
The study focused on how well AI could respond to emotionally charged scenarios. For example, one test presented a dilemma: What should Michael do after finding that a colleague had stolen his project idea and later received public praise for it? The options included arguing with the colleague, talking to a manager, silently feeling upset, or taking a similarly underhanded step in return. A proper answer was to talk to a manager. Researchers compared the AI’s answers to those of human participants. On average, the AI scored 82% correct answers, while humans achieved only 56%. This shows that AI not only understands emotions but also knows how to act with emotional intelligence.
In another part of the study, researchers asked the chatbot to create new emotional intelligence tests. These tests were given to over 400 people, who found them just as clear and realistic as traditional tests that took years to develop. Marcello Mortillaro, a senior scientist at the University of Geneva, explained that this ability proves AI has emotional knowledge and can think about feelings logically.
These findings suggest that AI could assist in areas once thought to require the human ability, such as education or conflict resolution. However, experts stress that AI should still be guided and monitored by humans. While AI may not feel emotions itself, its ability to understand and reason about them opens exciting possibilities for the future.
8. What is the researchers’ view on AI’s emotional intelligence?
A. It’s lower than the average human’s. B. It’s the first breakthrough in research.
C It’s unreliable in real-world applications. D. It’s a tool for improving human skills.
9. What does the underlined word “underhanded” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Fast and correct. B. Public and direct.
C. Secret and dishonest. D. Complex and misunderstood.
10. Why does the author mention the tests created by the chatbot?
A. To underscore humans’ logical thinking.
B. To prove traditional testing’s drawbacks.
C. To argue for AI’s overall advantage in studies.
D. To provide evidence for a scientific conclusion.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A New Study Questions the Usefulness of AI
B. AI Advances into Human Emotional Intelligence
C. The Emotional Conflict Between AI and Humans
D The Challenges of Teaching AI About Human Feelings
D
Spanish scientist Pilar Bosch has found a way to use bacteria to repair 18th-century paintings. Bosch, a microbiologist, says that she got the idea for the method while considering possibilities for a paper toward her doctoral degree. During this process, she discovered someone else’s paper that suggested bacteria could be used to restore artworks.
At around the same time, Bosch learned that her mother was struggling to find a good method for restoring 18th-century paintings. The paintings, by Spanish artist Antonio Palomino, sat in Santos Juanes, one of the oldest churches in the city of Valencia. Bosch said her mother noted how difficult the restoration process at the church was. One reason was the glue (胶水) on the wall paintings in the 1960s. The substance was nearly impossible to remove completely.
“My mother had a very difficult problem to solve, and I found a paper about bacteria used to clean wall paintings in Italy,” Bosch said. She decided to write her doctoral paper on the same subject. That was more than ten years ago.
Today, Bosch gets to work with her mother on the church restoration. They are using the bacteria method to remove glue from artworks. The $4.46 million project is being financed by local organizations.
The process involves feeding small amounts of the glue — made from animal protein — to the bacteria. After a time, the bacteria begin to naturally produce matters to break down the glue. The mother-daughter team then mixes the bacteria with a natural substance based on algae (海藻), called a gel (凝胶), and places it onto the paintings. They say that after about three hours, the gel mixture is removed, leaving the paintings glue-free.
Bosch’s mother observed that in the past, restorers of artworks had to use traditional cleaning methods that took hours and damaged the painting. She pointed out that several other relatives in the family also work in art restoration. Bosch agreed, saying the work certainly runs in the family.
12. What difficulty did Bosch’s mother have in restoring the paintings?
A. Cleaning their surface.
B. Determining their ages.
C. Removing the bacteria from them.
D. Finding the methods for storing them.
13. Which proverb matches Bosch’s doctoral decision?
A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Knowledge starts with practice.
C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Actions speak louder than words.
14. What does paragraph 5 mainly show about the paintings?
A. The process of removing glue from them.
B. The process of algae’s formation on them.
C. The process of funding the restoration of them.
D. The process of animal protein’s break-down on them.
15. What can we learn about Bosch’s engagement in art restoration?
A. It takes many hours.
B. It uses a traditional method.
C. It is easy to damage paintings.
D. It is a family tradition.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For me, English was once a silent monster living in my textbook. I could handle grammar exercises and written tests, but speaking was a whole different story. The moment I opened my mouth, my mind would go blank (空白的). My classmate Ben, who spoke with easy confidence, made my quietness feel even heavier. Ms Clark, our energetic English teacher, noticed my struggle. Our weekly “English Corner” was a personal challenge I always tried to avoid.
The real test came when our school announced a big English play for the yearly show. To my surprise, Ms Clark gave me a main role. “Jake, you have a quiet strength perfect for this character,” she said. My heart sank. Ben, playing my cheerful friend in the play, tried to help me practice during breaks. But my lines were always soft and stiff (生硬的). I feared I would forget everything on stage.
Rehearsals (排练) were pure pain. I would freeze under the stage lights, forgetting lines I had known perfectly. A girl named Sarah from the drama club, who had a small nonspeaking part as a village girl, would sometimes watch from the back. Once, after I completely blanked, I saw her quickly look down at her script, a look of worry on her face. I felt I was dragging the whole class down. Success seemed impossible; I just wanted to disappear.
The week before the show, Ms Clark announced a change. “To make it more real,” she said, “a real exchange student from England will join our play as a traveler!” My heart sank further. Then, I would embarrass myself in front of a native speaker too. We were told that this exchange student was already helping the drama club with the arrangements. I never saw her, but the thought of her perfect English became a heavy weight on my shoulders during every rehearsal. The moment of my greatest panic backstage, however, came with a complete surprise. Ms Clark walked over not with a stranger, but with Sarah.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Jake, come here,” Ms Clark said gently.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the lights came on, I saw Sarah smiling at me from her position.
