C.The CEO’s unreasonable demand. D.The coworker’s sudden interruption. 2.How did Rina help the author during the Q & A session？（　　） A.By simplifying his slides. B.By correcting his grammar. C.By modeling proper postures. D.By translating the questions. 3.Why does the author mention different countries’ customs？（　　） A.To share his learning process. B.To prepare for his next journey. C.To appreciate uniqueness of culture. D.To show diversity of body language. 4.What lesson has the author learned in Tokyo？（　　） A.Good business is built on good language. B.Wisdom counts more than spoken language. C.A country’s language is as important as its culture. D.Body language is vital in cross-cultural communication. B 　　（2025·豫北名校高二下联考）Scientists in Australia have successfully used AI to locate the endangered Plains-wanderer.Once common in eastern Australia， the Plains-wanderer now faces a critical situation， with only 250 to 1，000 individuals remaining in the wild， as grasslands have been turned into farms and cities.There has been a striking 85% drop in their numbers over recent decades. 　　The Plains-wanderer is a small， ground-dwelling bird， standing only about six inches （15 centimeters） tall.Unlike many other birds， it is not good at flying and spends most of its time on the ground. When threatened， it crouches to hide and prefers to run rather than fly.The bird is highly selective about its habitat — there can’t be too much grass or too little.This specific requirement has earned it the nickname “Goldilocks of animals”. 　　Given the Plains-wanderer’s odd nature and the challenges of visually spotting it， Zoos Victoria worked with scientists from Queensland University of Technology to develop a unique approach to locate the birds.Instead of relying on traditional methods， the team decided to “listen” for the birds.Female Plains-wanderers produce a distinctive “Ooom” call， which became the key to their detection.Researchers placed 35 specialised recording devices， known as song meters， across nine potential grassland habitats. These devices collected tens of thousands of hours of audio （音频的） recordings， far more than humans could analyse. 　　To manage the vast amount of data， the team turned to an AI system trained to identify the calls of Plains-wanderers.The system successfully detected the bird’s calls at two sites， a discovery later confirmed by scientists.Chris Hartnett of Zoos Victoria described the find was like “finding gold”， marking the first time in over 30 years that the Plains-wanderer had been detected west of Melbourne.He emphasised that the discovery is “huge” for conservation efforts. 　　This breakthrough provides critical information for protecting the Plains-wanderer and its habitat.The research team plans to cooperate with landowners to ensure the preservation of the grasslands essential for the bird’s survival.Meanwhile， the use of song meters and AI continues， as scientists aim to locate more of these birds and secure their future in the wild. 5.What is the primary reason for the decline in the Plains-wanderer population？（　　） A.Climate change. B.Low birth rate. C.Human disturbance. D.Inter-species competition. 6.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3？（　　） A.The appearance and living habits of Plains-wanderers. B.The new method developed to spot Plains-wanderers. C.The necessity of cooperation between zoos and universities. D.The reasons why traditional methods failed to locate Plains-wanderers. 7.What is Chris Hartnett’s attitude towards the discovery of Plains-wanderers？（　　） A.Positive. B.Doubtful. C.Uncaring. D.Worried. 8.What might be a result of the AI’s success in detecting the bird’s calls？（　　） A.Scientists will invest more in AI’s development. B.Some farmland will be transformed into the bird’s habitat. C.Landowners will make profits from the trade of grasslands. D.AI will be more widely applied in wildlife protection.
