When I was a child, our family had one of the first telephones in the neighborhood. It was attached to the wall in the hallway and had a polished oak case. The shiny receiver hung beside the box, and I remembered our phone number — 105. I was too small to reach the phone, but I loved listening to my mother talking on it. Once, she even lifted me up to speak to my father, who was away on a business trip. It felt like magic.
Soon, I discovered that there was a magical voice inside the phone — called “Information Please”. She seemed to know everything. If my mother needed a phone number or the time, she would simply ask the operator. She was always there to provide helpful answers. I was fascinated by her knowledge and kindness.
One day, when my mother was visiting a neighbor, I hurt my finger while playing in the basement. I was alone and couldn’t find anyone to help. In pain and with no one to comfort me, I ran upstairs to the phone and, standing on a bench, picked up the receiver. “Information Please,” I said. The familiar voice responded kindly, asking if I was hurt badly. She advised me to put some ice on my finger to stop the pain. I felt comforted, knowing there was someone I could turn to for help.
Years passed, and I moved to a different city. The magical “Information Please” disappeared with time. But when I was older, on a trip back to my hometown, I dialed the number to hear that voice again. However, it wasn’t the same. The service had been replaced by an automated (自动化的) system. I realized, as I hung up, that the voice I had once depended on was gone, but I had grown to be independent in ways I hadn’t expected.
4. What was the author’s first experience with the telephone?
A. He called his father with Mum’s help. B. He used it to find information.
C. He dialed his father’s number. D. He hung it in person.
5. How did “Information Please” help the author when he hurt his finger?
A. She sent someone to look after him. B. She told him to seek medical help.
C. She immediately contacted his mother. D. She suggested a method on pain relief.
6. Why did the author feel comforted by “Information Please”?
A. Because she treated his wound at once.
B. Because her voice sounded warmer than Mom’s.
C. Because she made a timely response to his need.
D. Because her behavior reminded him of his mother.
7. What does the author convey in the last paragraph?
A. The unchanging nature of human relationships over time.
B. The unavoidable change coming along with new technology.
C. The loss of childhood wonder and a simple view of the world.
D. The importance of having a support system during difficult times.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者儿时对电话及“Information Please”的依赖与喜爱,多年后其被自动化系统取代,体现技术带来的改变。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句“Once, she even lifted me up to speak to my father, who was away on a business trip. It felt like magic.(有一次,她甚至把我抱起来,让我和正在出差的父亲通话。那感觉就像魔法一样。)”可知,作者第一次使用电话的经历是在妈妈的帮助下给爸爸打电话。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句“She advised me to put some ice on my finger to stop the pain.(她建议我在手指上敷些冰来止痛。)”可知,当作者弄伤手指时,“Information Please”建议他用敷冰的方法来缓解疼痛。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第三、四句“The familiar voice responded kindly, asking if I was hurt badly. She advised me to put some ice on my finger to stop the pain. I felt comforted, knowing there was someone I could turn to for help.(那个熟悉的声音亲切地回应着,问我伤得重不重。她建议我在手指上敷些冰来止痛。知道有可以求助的人,我感到很安慰。)”可知,“Information Please”对作者的需求做出了及时回应,所以作者感到安慰。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The magical ‘Information Please’ disappeared with time. But when I was older, on a trip back to my hometown, I dialed the number to hear that voice again. However, it wasn’t the same. The service had been replaced by an automated (自动化的) system. I realized, as I hung up, that the voice I had once depended on was gone, but I had grown to be independent in ways I hadn’t expected.(神奇的‘Information Please’随着时间的推移消失了。但当我长大后,在一次回到家乡的旅行中,我拨打了那个号码,想再次听到那个声音。然而,情况已经不同了。这项服务已经被一个自动化系统取代了。当我挂断电话时,我意识到,我曾经依赖的那个声音已经消失了,但我却以一种意想不到的方式变得独立了。)”可知,曾经的“Information Please”服务被自动化系统取代了,这表明随着新技术的到来,不可避免地会发生变化。故选B项。
C
Beethoven is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicians. He completed 722 musical works. Unfortunately, the master died while still working on his Tenth Symphony (交响曲). Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to complete the artist’s final composition.
Dr. Matthias first came up with the idea to complete the composition in 2019. He thought it was an appropriate way to celebrate Beethoven’s 250th birthday in December 2020. He began by enlisting an international team of music experts to help him with the giant task. They included the music composer Walter and Dr. Ahmed, the creator of an innovative AI technology for the art market.
Ahmed and his colleagues started the process by familiarizing the AI software initially with a broad range of classical music, and then, narrowed it down to just Beethoven’s work. Meanwhile, Walter and his group tried to interpret the rough drafts and the handful of notes that detailed Beethoven’s plans for the Tenth Symphony.
The team then began the slow and careful task of feeding the AI software musical notes from the unfinished composition. To stay true to Beethoven’s original composition, Ahmed’s team sent Walter hundreds of AI-generated musical note variations every evening. Walter would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was closest to what the artist would have written. The AI team would add the music and rerun the software to generate the next suggestions. And piece by piece, the team was able to complete Beethoven’s Tenth Symphony!
The composition was first released on October 9, 2021. Not surprisingly, it caused some controversy (争议). Critics believe technology should not be used to replicate the human creative process. Ahmed and his team agree with their opinions and say their AI software is not out to replace humans — it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways.
8. What is the purpose of the writer in writing paragraph 1?
A. To voice his greatest respect for Beethoven.
B. To compare traditional music and AI music.
C. To present the team’s hard work.
D. To introduce an innovative method to create music.
9. Which can be used to best describe the team’s work?
A. Inspiring B. Steady C. Challenging D. Boring
10. What does the underlined word “replicate” in the last paragraph mean?
A. question B. copy C. direct D. speed
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Beethoven’s Tenth Symphony Is Eventually Staged
B. AI Helps Complete Beethoven’s Unfinished Symphony
C. A Team of Experts Completed an Impossible Mission
D. A Controversial Way Successfully Interprets Beethoven’s Music
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了贝多芬的第十交响曲。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Beethoven is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicians. He completed 722 musical works. Unfortunately, the master died while still working on his Tenth Symphony (交响曲). Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to complete the artist’s final composition.(贝多芬无疑是最伟大的音乐家之一。他完成了722部音乐作品。不幸的是,这位大师在创作他的第十交响曲时去世了。现在,一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了这位艺术家的最终作品)”和文章第二段“Dr. Matthias first came up with the idea to complete the composition in 2019.(马蒂亚斯博士在2019年首次提出了完成这一合成的想法)”可推知,第一段的主要目的是为了介绍一种创新的音乐创作方法。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“He began by enlisting an international team of music experts to help him with the giant task.(他首先召集了一个国际音乐专家团队来帮助他完成这项艰巨的任务)”和第三段“Ahmed and his colleagues started the process by familiarizing the AI software initially with a broad range of classical music, and then, narrowed it down to just Beethoven’s work. Meanwhile, Walter and his group tried to interpret the rough drafts and the handful of notes that detailed Beethoven’s plans for the Tenth Symphony.(艾哈迈德和他的同事们首先让人工智能软件熟悉大量的古典音乐,然后把范围缩小到贝多芬的作品。与此同时,沃尔特和他的团队试图解读这些草稿和一些详细说明贝多芬第十交响曲计划的音符)”及文章第四段“The team then began the slow and careful task of feeding the AI software musical notes from the unfinished composition. To stay true to Beethoven’s original composition, Ahmed’s team sent Walter hundreds of AI-generated musical note variations every evening. Walter would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was closest to what the artist would have written. The AI team would add the music and rerun the software to generate the next suggestions. And piece by piece, the team was able to complete Beethoven’s Tenth Symphony!(随后,团队开始了一项缓慢而细致的工作,将那首未完成作品中的音符输入人工智能软件。为了忠实于贝多芬的原作,艾哈迈德的团队每天晚上都会给沃尔特发送数百种由人工智能生成的音符变奏。沃尔特会聆听这些变奏,然后挑选出他认为最接近这位艺术家原本可能会创作的那个音符。人工智能团队会添加这个音符,然后再次运行软件,以生成下一批建议。就这样,团队一点一点地完成了贝多芬的《第十交响曲》!)”可推知,这个团队的工作是充满挑战性的。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Ahmed and his team agree with their opinions and say their AI software is not out to replace humans — it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways.(艾哈迈德和他的团队同意他们的观点,并表示他们的人工智能软件并不是要取代人类——它只是一个帮助艺术家以新的方式表达自己的工具)”可知,划线词所在的句子意为“批评者认为,技术不应该被用来复制人类的创造过程。”由此可知,划线词replicate意为“复制”。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中“Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to complete the artist’s final composition.(现在,一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了这位艺术家的最终作品)”结合全文内容可知,文章主要说明了科学家和音乐家们使用人工智能完成了贝多芬未完成的第十交响曲,介绍了这一创作过程以及引起的争议。故B选项“AI Helps Complete Beethoven’s Unfinished Symphony(人工智能帮助完成了贝多芬未完成的交响曲)”符合文章主题,是文章的最佳标题。故选B。
D
Ecotourism has got great attention in recent years as a form of travel that focuses on the protection of natural environments and the health and happiness of local communities. It is a responsible way of exploring natural areas and helpful to both the environment and the economy. It’s like going on a trip that’s good for both the plants and animals and the local economy.
Let’s think about African elephants. People used to take their ivory (象牙) for money, but it’s much better to keep them alive. Elephants can make a lot more money if people come to see them in their natural home. One elephant can be worth about $ 1.3 million during its life. Ecotourism is a better way to develop economy and do less harm to nature.
Places like nature reserves (保护区) and national parks stop people from cutting down trees and making pollution. They also keep the homes of animals safe. The money from ecotourism can take the place of money made by mining (采矿) or destroying forests. It also makes sure the area has a positive development for a long time. Guides teach us why clean nature is important and how to protect it, making us better travelers.
When ecotourism is done right, it can help local people make money in new ways. In countries with lots of wildlife, like Rwanda, people who used to hunt animals can now work as guides. This uses their knowledge of the animals and their homes. When local people are part of managing tourism, they get more money to improve community projects in education, transportation, and health care. Ecotourism also lets local people stay on their land, keep it clean, and keep their traditions.
Being an ecotourist means you care about the places you visit. But it also gives you amazing experiences, helping you connect with nature, animals, and the people you meet on your trip. Once you’ve had this kind of travel, you might not want to travel in the old way again.
12. Why does the writer mention African elephants?
A. To give an example of ecotourism.
B. To show where to experience ecotourism.
C. To draw readers’ attention to natural beauty.
D. To compare their value with other animals.
13. What do nature reserves and national parks do for ecotourism?
A. They attract more tourists.
B. They change the role of guides.
C. They allow the locals to visit for free.
D. They stop bad behaviors and protect animals.
14. How does ecotourism help former hunters in Rwanda?
A. By keeping their hunting tradition.
B. By educating them about ecotourism.
C. By providing them with jobs in ecotourism.
D. By improving their survival skills in the wild.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Ecotourism is about saving animals.
B. Ecotourism is a better way to travel.
C. Ecotourism is the only solution to nature.
D. Ecotourism is a new source of economic growth.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了生态旅游的定义以及它的益处:保护环境,促进当地发展,提供替代生计,增进旅行者与自然的联系等。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。第一段中“It is a responsible way of exploring natural areas and helpful to both the environment and the economy. It’s like going on a trip that’s good for both the plants and animals and the local economy.(这是一种负责任的探索自然区域的方式,对环境和经济都有帮助。这就像一场对动植物和当地经济都有好处的旅行)”提到生态旅游是一种负责任的探索自然区域的方式,这种方式对环境额经济都有帮助,第二段“Let’s think about African elephants. People used to take their ivory (象牙) for money, but it’s much better to keep them alive. Elephants can make a lot more money if people come to see them in their natural home. One elephant can be worth about $ 1.3 million during its life. Ecotourism is a better way to develop economy and do less harm to nature.(让我们想想非洲象。过去人们把象牙拿去换钱,但让它们活下去更好。如果人们到它们的自然家园去看大象,它们可以赚更多的钱。一头大象一生的价值约为130万美元。生态旅游是一种更好的发展经济和减少对自然危害的方式)”以非洲象举例说明。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Places like nature reserves (保护区) and national parks stop people from cutting down trees and making pollution. They also keep the homes of animals safe.(像自然保护区和国家公园这样的地方阻止人们砍伐树木和制造污染。他们还保护动物家园的安全)”可推知,自然保护区和国家公园在生态旅游中的作用是防止有害行为和保护动物家园。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“In countries with lots of wildlife, like Rwanda, people who used to hunt animals can now work as guides.(在像卢旺达这样有很多野生动物的国家,过去打猎的人现在可以做向导了)”可知,生态旅游通过为先前的捕猎者提供工作来使他们受益。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“It is a responsible way of exploring natural areas and helpful to both the environment and the economy.(这是一种负责任的探索自然区域的方式,对环境和经济都有帮助)”可知,文章主要讲述了生态旅游如何对自然和当地社区产生积极影响,它是一种更好的旅游方式。故选B。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How To Befriend Like-Minded People
One of the best ways to improve your social life is to find like-minded people. But the process of finding them becomes useless if you can’t befriend them at all. ____16____.
Introduce yourself properly. Practice introducing yourself before you go out to meet new people. That first impression matters in this case. ____17____. Simply tell them it’s nice to meet them while you shake their hands, and a smile as you do these things can help, too.
Set proper expectations. Just because you and someone else share an interest, opinion, or belief, that doesn’t mean you two will hit it off. ____18____. If things don’t go your way, simply shake it off, and move on. There are a lot of other people out there who will be more than willing to be friends with you.
____19____. When you finally meet a like-minded person, take advantage of the thing you already know you have in common. Start talking about your common interest and the like. Learn from each other. Grow and be more knowledgeable together. This foundation creates a really strong bond later on.
Exchange numbers. Once you’ve had a pleasant exchange with a like-minded person, don’t let the opportunity of a friendship go to waste. ____20____. Then, contact them afterward saying how great of a time you had interacting with them. This lets them know that you enjoyed their company and it opens up future interactions.
A. Begin exchanging knowledge
B. Here are some tips on how to do it
C. Be open-minded when it comes to learning
D. Your introduction can be very short and brief
E. It can take even longer to become friends with them
F. Be sure to exchange numbers or any other contact information
G. Don’t expect to be friends with every like-minded person you meet
【答案】16. B 17. D 18. G 19. A 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了与志同道合的人建立友谊的几种方法。
【16题详解】
根据空前“But the process of finding them becomes useless if you can’t befriend them at all.(但是,如果你不能成为他们的朋友,那么寻找他们的过程就会变得毫无意义。)”可知,文章讲述了如何与志同道合的人建立友谊,因此接下来的内容应该是对这一过程具体方法的介绍。所以选择项B“Here are some tips on how to do it(这里有一些如何做到这一点的建议)”符合上下文语境。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据空前“That first impression matters in this case.(在这种情况下,第一印象很重要。)”以及空后“Simply tell them it’s nice to meet them while you shake their hands, and a smile as you do these things can help, too.(当你和他们握手时,简单地告诉他们很高兴见到他们,当你做这些事情时微笑也会有所帮助。)”可知,作者强调初次印象的重要性,接下来的内容应该说明如何简单有效地进行自我介绍。所以选择项D“Your introduction can be very short and brief(你的介绍可以非常简短)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据空前“Set proper expectations. Just because you and someone else share an interest, opinion, or belief, that doesn’t mean you two will hit it off.(设定适当的期望。仅仅因为你和别人有共同的兴趣、观点或信仰,并不意味着你们俩会合得来。)”可推知,作者强调了期望的重要性,以及空后“If things don’t go your way, simply shake it off, and move on.(如果事情不如你所愿,那就把它去掉,继续前进。)”可知,即使有共同兴趣,也不代表每个人都会成为朋友,需要设定合理的期望。所以选择项G“Don’t expect to be friends with every like-minded person you meet(不要指望你遇到的每个志同道合的人都能成为朋友)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据空后“When you finally meet a like-minded person, take advantage of the thing you already know you have in common.(当你最终遇到一个志趣相投的人时,利用你们已经知道的共同点。)”可知,文章鼓励读者与志同道合的人分享共同兴趣并建立联系,而选项A是鼓励通过交流共同的知识来增强友谊。所以选择项A“Begin exchanging knowledge(开始交流知识)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据空前“Once you’ve had a pleasant exchange with a like-minded person, don’t let the opportunity of a friendship go to waste.(一旦你和一个志同道合的人有过愉快的交流,不要让友谊的机会白白浪费掉。)”可知,接下来应该是关于如何进一步维持联系,选项F旨在提示读者在互动后交换联系方式,以便后续保持联系。所以选择项F“Be sure to exchange numbers or any other contact information(一定要交换电话号码或其他联系方式)”符合上下文语境。故选F。

【解析】
【导语】本篇是说明文。文章讲述了音乐的力量以及它如何影响人们的生活。音乐能够激发情感、激励人们追随梦想,并在困难时给予安慰。它能够缓解压力、提高学习效率,并帮助人们表达自己。音乐是全球通用的语言,通过演唱会或分享歌曲,它将人们联系在一起,改变着我们的生活。
【36题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:无论是让我们想跳舞的快节奏还是帮助我们放松的慢歌,音乐都将我们与情感和彼此联系在一起。句子是描述一个事实,使用一般现在时,关系代词that指代前面先行词song,为可数名词单数。因此,谓语动词应用第三人称单数,故填helps。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在音乐的鼓舞下,人们在生活中找到新的力量和动力。此处inspire与逻辑主语people之间为被动关系,应用过去分词作状语,首字母大写。故填Inspired。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意:另一些人喜欢古典音乐,它平静而美丽。根据前句中some people可知,此处用来表示其他喜好不同的人,且位于句首首字母大写。故填Others。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它可以激励人们追随自己的梦想,或者帮助他们度过困难时期。短语inspire sb. to do sth.表示“激励某人去做某事”,故填to follow。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:一首最喜欢的歌可以让我们想起快乐的回忆,或者让我们感到被理解。短语remind sb. of sth.表示“使某人想起某事”,故填of。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:对其他人来说,音乐是动力的源泉。此处source为泛指,且是发音以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:研究表明,音乐可以减轻压力,甚至有助于学习。此处reduce stress和help with studying为并列关系,用连词and。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:它使困难的任务变得容易,帮助我们更好地集中注意力。根据空后and helps us focus better中的better是比较级,可知此空形容词也应该用比较级,故填easier。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:许多艺术家写歌是为了分享他们的想法,听众们会感到与音乐中的信息深深地联系在一起。修饰动词connected应用副词deeply,表示抽象意义“深深地”,故填deeply。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:无论是在音乐会还是通过共享歌曲,音乐都是一种通用语言,将我们所有人联系在一起,改变着我们的生活。此处change与music构成主动关系,用现在分词作状语,故填changing。

Fred and Belle were brother and sister. They were talking about the coming Father’s Day. “Belle, do you know when Father’s Day is celebrated?” Fred asked his sister Belle. “Yes, it is going to be celebrated on June 16 this year. Yesterday my friend and I were talking about it,” Belle replied. “Do you have any idea about how we should celebrate this day and make it memorable for Dad?” Fred asked. “Hmm... I was thinking about it too and have some ideas,” Belle answered excitedly.
“What are you kids talking about?” their Mom asked, entering their room. “Mom, we are wondering about how to celebrate Father’s Day,” Belle said. “Oh, I am surprised you kids can remember the day! Well, I am thinking of cooking some favorite dishes for your father. You both should think of ways to decorate the house beautifully,” Mom said.
“That would be great!” said Belle and Fred together. Both of them got up smiling, thinking of hundreds of ways to celebrate Father’s Day. Mom went to the kitchen, and Belle and Fred started doing their homework. But soon Fred noticed Belle deep in thought so he asked what the matter was. “Fred, I am thinking that our parents do everything for us but they demand nothing from us. Isn’t it bad that we never think about them and are always concerned about our needs?” Belle replied. “Sometimes we are so busy with our lives that we don’t pay proper attention to our parents. We should listen to whatever they say properly and answer them. We must also study hard to get good grades,” Fred said.
The next day, all three of them, Belle, Fred and their Mom, got busy preparing their surprise celebration for Father’s Day. Belle drew a family picture with her crayons (蜡笔). Fred bought balloons and candles and began writing a poem which he planned to sing that day. In short, a lot of things were being planned and prepared.

French toast and chicken porridge, both of which were father’s favorite foods, were ready. Eventually, everything was settled. Fred and Belle stood beside the door, waiting for their father eagerly. Soon Dad came in.
Fred and Belle were very excited to see their father. They cried out together, “Happy Father’s Day!” and then sang the poem loudly. Hearing the words and the poem, so glad was Dad that his face lit up. “We have a surprise for you!” added Fred, pointing at the decorations. “I love them very much!” Dad said excitelly and gave Fred, Belle and Mom a big hug. When he saw the dinner, his eyes widened and twinkled with excitement. He couldn’t help tasting a bit of the chicken soup, explaining that it was the best dish he had ever had. Mom smiled heartily and exchanged a gentle glance with Fred and Belle. What a beautiful and sweet surprise! The room was filled with happiness.

When I was a child, our family had one of the first telephones in the neighborhood. It was attached to the wall in the hallway and had a polished oak case. The shiny receiver hung beside the box, and I remembered our phone number — 105. I was too small to reach the phone, but I loved listening to my mother talking on it. Once, she even lifted me up to speak to my father, who was away on a business trip. It felt like magic.
Soon, I discovered that there was a magical voice inside the phone — called “Information Please”. She seemed to know everything. If my mother needed a phone number or the time, she would simply ask the operator. She was always there to provide helpful answers. I was fascinated by her knowledge and kindness.
One day, when my mother was visiting a neighbor, I hurt my finger while playing in the basement. I was alone and couldn’t find anyone to help. In pain and with no one to comfort me, I ran upstairs to the phone and, standing on a bench, picked up the receiver. “Information Please,” I said. The familiar voice responded kindly, asking if I was hurt badly. She advised me to put some ice on my finger to stop the pain. I felt comforted, knowing there was someone I could turn to for help.
Years passed, and I moved to a different city. The magical “Information Please” disappeared with time. But when I was older, on a trip back to my hometown, I dialed the number to hear that voice again. However, it wasn’t the same. The service had been replaced by an automated (自动化的) system. I realized, as I hung up, that the voice I had once depended on was gone, but I had grown to be independent in ways I hadn’t expected.
4. What was the author’s first experience with the telephone?
A. He called his father with Mum’s help. B. He used it to find information.
C. He dialed his father’s number. D. He hung it in person.
5. How did “Information Please” help the author when he hurt his finger?
A. She sent someone to look after him. B. She told him to seek medical help.
C. She immediately contacted his mother. D. She suggested a method on pain relief.
6. Why did the author feel comforted by “Information Please”?
A. Because she treated his wound at once.
B. Because her voice sounded warmer than Mom’s.
C. Because she made a timely response to his need.
D. Because her behavior reminded him of his mother.
7. What does the author convey in the last paragraph?
A. The unchanging nature of human relationships over time.
B. The unavoidable change coming along with new technology.
C. The loss of childhood wonder and a simple view of the world.
D. The importance of having a support system during difficult times.
C
Beethoven is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicians. He completed 722 musical works. Unfortunately, the master died while still working on his Tenth Symphony (交响曲). Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to complete the artist’s final composition.
Dr. Matthias first came up with the idea to complete the composition in 2019. He thought it was an appropriate way to celebrate Beethoven’s 250th birthday in December 2020. He began by enlisting an international team of music experts to help him with the giant task. They included the music composer Walter and Dr. Ahmed, the creator of an innovative AI technology for the art market.
Ahmed and his colleagues started the process by familiarizing the AI software initially with a broad range of classical music, and then, narrowed it down to just Beethoven’s work. Meanwhile, Walter and his group tried to interpret the rough drafts and the handful of notes that detailed Beethoven’s plans for the Tenth Symphony.
The team then began the slow and careful task of feeding the AI software musical notes from the unfinished composition. To stay true to Beethoven’s original composition, Ahmed’s team sent Walter hundreds of AI-generated musical note variations every evening. Walter would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was closest to what the artist would have written. The AI team would add the music and rerun the software to generate the next suggestions. And piece by piece, the team was able to complete Beethoven’s Tenth Symphony!
The composition was first released on October 9, 2021. Not surprisingly, it caused some controversy (争议). Critics believe technology should not be used to replicate the human creative process. Ahmed and his team agree with their opinions and say their AI software is not out to replace humans — it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways.
8. What is the purpose of the writer in writing paragraph 1?

Ecotourism has got great attention in recent years as a form of travel that focuses on the protection of natural environments and the health and happiness of local communities. It is a responsible way of exploring natural areas and helpful to both the environment and the economy. It’s like going on a trip that’s good for both the plants and animals and the local economy.
Let’s think about African elephants. People used to take their ivory (象牙) for money, but it’s much better to keep them alive. Elephants can make a lot more money if people come to see them in their natural home. One elephant can be worth about $ 1.3 million during its life. Ecotourism is a better way to develop economy and do less harm to nature.
Places like nature reserves (保护区) and national parks stop people from cutting down trees and making pollution. They also keep the homes of animals safe. The money from ecotourism can take the place of money made by mining (采矿) or destroying forests. It also makes sure the area has a positive development for a long time. Guides teach us why clean nature is important and how to protect it, making us better travelers.
When ecotourism is done right, it can help local people make money in new ways. In countries with lots of wildlife, like Rwanda, people who used to hunt animals can now work as guides. This uses their knowledge of the animals and their homes. When local people are part of managing tourism, they get more money to improve community projects in education, transportation, and health care. Ecotourism also lets local people stay on their land, keep it clean, and keep their traditions.
Being an ecotourist means you care about the places you visit. But it also gives you amazing experiences, helping you connect with nature, animals, and the people you meet on your trip. Once you’ve had this kind of travel, you might not want to travel in the old way again.
12. Why does the writer mention African elephants?
A. To give an example of ecotourism.
B. To show where to experience ecotourism.
C. To draw readers’ attention to natural beauty.
D. To compare their value with other animals.
13. What do nature reserves and national parks do for ecotourism?
A. They attract more tourists.
B. They change the role of guides.
C. They allow the locals to visit for free.
D. They stop bad behaviors and protect animals.
14. How does ecotourism help former hunters in Rwanda?
A. By keeping their hunting tradition.
B. By educating them about ecotourism.
C. By providing them with jobs in ecotourism.
D. By improving their survival skills in the wild.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Ecotourism is about saving animals.
B. Ecotourism is a better way to travel.
C. Ecotourism is the only solution to nature.
D. Ecotourism is a new source of economic growth.

Fred and Belle were brother and sister. They were talking about the coming Father’s Day. “Belle, do you know when Father’s Day is celebrated?” Fred asked his sister Belle. “Yes, it is going to be celebrated on June 16 this year. Yesterday my friend and I were talking about it,” Belle replied. “Do you have any idea about how we should celebrate this day and make it memorable for Dad?” Fred asked. “Hmm... I was thinking about it too and have some ideas,” Belle answered excitedly.
“What are you kids talking about?” their Mom asked, entering their room. “Mom, we are wondering about how to celebrate Father’s Day,” Belle said. “Oh, I am surprised you kids can remember the day! Well, I am thinking of cooking some favorite dishes for your father. You both should think of ways to decorate the house beautifully,” Mom said.
“That would be great!” said Belle and Fred together. Both of them got up smiling, thinking of hundreds of ways to celebrate Father’s Day. Mom went to the kitchen, and Belle and Fred started doing their homework. But soon Fred noticed Belle deep in thought so he asked what the matter was. “Fred, I am thinking that our parents do everything for us but they demand nothing from us. Isn’t it bad that we never think about them and are always concerned about our needs?” Belle replied. “Sometimes we are so busy with our lives that we don’t pay proper attention to our parents. We should listen to whatever they say properly and answer them. We must also study hard to get good grades,” Fred said.
The next day, all three of them, Belle, Fred and their Mom, got busy preparing their surprise celebration for Father’s Day. Belle drew a family picture with her crayons (蜡笔). Fred bought balloons and candles and began writing a poem which he planned to sing that day. In short, a lot of things were being planned and prepared.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
