At an altitude over 4,500 meters in Burang County,Ngari Prefecture,Southwest China's
Xizang Autonomous Region,lies Mapam Yumco Lake.For over a decade,42-year-old Dradul
has devoted himself to protecting the wetland around this precious lake as an ecosystem
guardian.
Before becoming a guardian,he struggled with temporary jobs and hoped for a steady
salary.Now,he earns a stable monthly income of 2,000 yuan and comes to feel a deep sense of
purpose."Protecting this lake makes me proud.It's not just work-it's about preserving it for
future generations,he said.
Dradul's workday begins early.He patrols (a fixed 10-kilometer route by motorcycle,
with duties including observing the reserve,recording data,and addressing ecological threats.Last
February,he and his team rescued a wing-broken eagle,sending it to a rescue center until it
recovered.This July,they spent 20 minutes pulling a trapped wild yak out of a mudflat with ropes.
Educating visitors is another core task.Dradul reminds tourists not to litter,drive on delicate
grasslands,or leave waste."In the past,the wetland was full of garbage and had fewer wild
animals,"Dradul recalled.Today,the wetland is home to 411 plant species and 157 wildlife species
-a remarkable level of biodiversity for such a.high-altitude area.
Yet,the work is far from easy.Climate change is a major threat:Melting ice and changing
rainfall patterns cause shoreline changes and grassland degradation.Human activities also
continue-some visitors still litter,bathe,or wash cars in the lake.With nearly 99,000
hectares (of wetland and only 90 guardians,remote areas can't be patrolled daily.
Despite these difficulties,Dradul remains hopeful.He dreams of Mapam Yumco Lake
staying pure forever."This responsibility,though built on small daily efforts,must be passed
down.With sincerity and commitment,even the simplest actions can protect the lake's beauty
for generations,"he emphasized.

The intersection of art and technology has always fascinated humanity.Nowhere is this
more evident than in the world of poetry,where artificial intelligence (AI)is starting to make
significant steps.AI poets are computer programs designed to generate poems,modeled after the
style,rhythm,and even some emotional aspects of human works.
AI has the ability to analyze vast databases of existing poems,identifying patterns in
language,rhyme structures.Using machine-learning patterns,some AI poets can generate new
lines of poetry.
However,a fundamental question remains:Can AI-generated poetry truly replace the
creative wisdom of human-made poetry?Human poets draw on a lifetime of experiences,
emotions,and cultural contexts to create their works.They use language not just as a means of
communication but as a way to express the indescribable.In contrast,AI operates based on data
and pattern.While it can produce technically perfect poems,it lacks the lived experiences and
subjective feelings that give human poetry its quality of being true.
Poetry critics often point out that the best poems are those that resonate (with
readers,challenging their perspectives and bringing strong feelings.Al-generated poems,
despite their technical complexity,often fail to achieve this emotional reflection.For instance,
a human poem about love may capture the pain and joy of romantic relationships while an Al-
generated poem on the same topic may seem lacking individual personality and imagination.
Supporters of AI poets claim that it can popularize the art form,making poetry creation
accessible to anyone with a computer.AI could inspire a new generation of poets.Additionally,
AI can introduce novel combinations of words and ideas,expanding the boundaries of what is
considered poetry.
As the debate continues,the Al in poetry forces us to re-evaluate our understanding of creativity,
art,and the human experience and challenges us to consider what makes a poem truly great.
28.What is the primary function of AI poets according to the text?
A.To boost human poets'creativity.
B.To teach people how to write poetry.
C.To analyze problems of existing poems.
D.To create poems based on human poetry.
29.What is a major limitation of AI-generated poetry compared to human poetry?
A.It cannot identify patters in language.
B.It cannot reach the real emotional depth.
C.It cannot produce technically perfect poems.
D.It cannot generate poems with correct rhymes.

In November 2020,a sudden huge wave lifted a lonely buoy 17.6 meters high off the coast
of British Columbia.This four-story-tall wave has been confirmed as the most extreme rogue
wave ever recorded.Such a rare event is believed to happen only once every 1,300 years.If the
buoy hadn't captured this moment,we might never have known it occurred at all.
For hundreds of years,people thought rogue waves were just sea stories.That changed in
1995,when the myth tured into a fact.On New Year's Day,a nearly 26-meter-high wave hit
an oil-drilling platform about 160 kilometers off Norway's coast.This wave,called the Draupner
wave,broke all the scientific models scientists had made before.Since then,scientists have
recorded many more rogue waves (even some in lakes).Though the Ucluelet wave near
Vancouver Island wasn't the tallest,its size compared to the waves around it was totally new.
Scientists say a rogue wave is any wave that's more than twice the height of the nearby
waves.The Draupner wave was 25.6 meters tall,while the waves around it were only 12
meters.The Ucluelet wave was nearly three times as tall as the waves next to it.Johannes
Gemmrich,a physicist from the University of Victoria,says,"In terms of size ratio,the
Ucluelet wave is probably the most extreme rogue wave we've ever found.We've only seen a few
such waves in rough seas,and none this big."
Thankfully,neither the Ucluelet nor the Draupner wave caused serious damage or deaths.
But other rogue waves have.For example,some ships that disappeared in the 1970s are now
thought to have been sunk by these sudden,huge waves.The floating remains left behind look
like they were destroyed by a giant wave crest.
32.When did people start to accept the existence of rogue waves?
A.In1970s.
B.In2020.
C.In1995.
D.Hundreds of years ago.
33.What can we infer from the text?
A.The Ucluelet wave was found in a lake near Vancouver Island.
B.Early scientific research failed to predict rogue waves accurately.
C.Rogue waves occur more frequently in the 21st century than before
D.The remains of sunken ships can all prove the existence of rogue waves.
34.How high were the waves around the Draupner wave?
A.12 meters.
B.17.6 meters.
C.25.6 meters.
D.26 meters.
35.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.The Discovery of Rogue Waves in History
B.The Most Extreme Rogue Wave Ever Recorded
C.The Difference Between Ucluelet and Draupner Wave
D.The Harm Caused by Sudden and Huge Rogue Waves

What comes to your mind when you hear the words "science fiction"?Most people might
picture aliens,robots,or trips to distant planets.36 Actually,science fiction,commonly
known as sci-fi,is far more than just fun adventures in imaginary worlds;it is a special lens
(that helps us look at our present world more clearly.

One feature of science fiction is its link to science.37 It is unlike fantasy stories,
which rely on magic and supernatural rules.For instance,stories about AI are often based on
the real development of computer science which we see today.Even when writers create
completely new planets,they usually set logical rules for the environment and the creatures
living there,just as real-world science works.
Another key character of science fiction is its focus on human issues.38 Take the
classic sci-fi story Fahrenheit 451 for example:It describes a future where books are burnt by
the government,but its real theme is to warn people about the danger of ignoring independent
thinking in the present.Many stories about space exploration also talk about teamwork,
courage,and the significance of protecting our home planet,themes that are just as relevant to
our daily lives.
39 Early sci-fi works written in the 19th century,such as Jules Veme's 20,000
Leagues Under the Sea,imagined submarines(s潜水艇)and space travel long before these
inventions appeared.Today,writers are still exploring issues raised by new technologies:How
will AI change our jobs?Can we stop climate change with future tech?These questions let us
think about our choices right now.
Science fiction connects the past,present and future,so it never goes out of style.It is
more than a prediction of what the world will be like.40
A.It also plays a significant part in inspiring invention.
B.There are many different kinds of science fiction stories
C.While that idea is not wrong,it only touches the surface.
D.It is a reminder that we have the power to shape our future
E.It uses future settings to talk about problems we face today.
F.A great many people love sci-fi because it brings them excitement.
G.It is rooted in real scientific knowledge or reasonable guesses about future tech.

第二节(满分20分)
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。
The summer break was approaching.Leo and his brother Max burst with joy and kept
talking about the trip at the thought of visiting their grandparents again.
The long-awaited day at last came.With the whole family all packed and ready,they
headed eagerly immediately to their grandparents'small house.On the way,the brothers chatted
excitedly about the fun times they'd shared with their grandparents before.
At last a cozy small blue house with a high white chimney came into sight gradually.
Behind it lay the quiet forest holding their sweet good memories with Grandpa.They pulled up at
the driveway where Grandma stood at the end waiting happily with a big smile.Leo and Max each
hugged Grandma tightly,then rushed quickly into the living room,yelling"Grandpa,we're home!"
Seeing them walk in,Grandpa was over the moon.He tried to stand with all his strength
from his chair but failed,a helpless look flashing across his face.Grandma sighed softly-she
had thought more than once lately that a cane (would help him,though she hadn't
mentioned it yet,knowing how stubbomn he was.Grandma explained his health had worsened
fast lately and he might never stand up alone again.But Grandpa insisted,"I can!"Still in his
boyish way.Mum and the grandparents were delighted to reunite after such a long time,sitting
together and chatting about what had happened recently.
Bored with the adults'slow conversation,the brothers wandered into the green forest.Tall
trees stretched high skyward,thick branches crossing overhead while young ones standing
straight like brave guards.Grandpa was once a great explorer full of wisdom.He could tell
birds'origins easily by their calls.Trees,birds,lizards,small bugs ..How many happy
moments they'd shared with him here before
Worried Grandpa couldn't stand up,Leo said,"We need to find a way to cheer him up."
"Grandpa loves birds-let's catch one for him?"Max suggested softly."But he hates birds
being caged!"Leo shook his head firmly.
注意

Then a clever thought struck Leo suddenly.
Filled with joy,the brothers presented it to Grandpa.
