A．Students. B．Parents. C．Teachers. D．Doctors. B Dolphins are smart animals. They make different sounds to talk to each other. This makes some scientists very interested. They want to use computers to understand dolphin sounds better. These computers use artificial intelligence（AI）. The scientists now hope to “talk” with dolphins in the sea. One group called the Wild Dolphin Project has studied dolphins for many years. They have watched dolphins and listened to their sounds under the water. They learned that some sounds happen during certain actions. For example, dolphins may make a loud “squawk” when they are fighting. They may make a fast “buzz” when they like another dolphin. Now, Google engineers are using the dolphin sound information. They made a smart computer program called Dolphin Gemma. It listens to the dolphin sounds and finds patterns（模式）. The goal is to guess what sounds a dolphin might make next, just like how some phones guess what word you want to type. The team also made a new system called CHAT. It uses special speakers in the ocean. These speakers play new whistle sounds that sound like dolphins’. The scientists try to teach dolphins that each sound means a kind of toy. If a dolphin makes the same sound back, it can get the toy. Dolphin Gemma helps the scientists know when the dolphin is asking for a toy. Google wants to share Dolphin Gemma so other people can use it. Maybe they can study other animals too. This is just the beginning of learning how animals talk. 50．What did scientists of the Wild Dolphin Project find? A．All dolphin sounds mean the same thing. B．Dolphins can learn human speech patterns fast. C．Dolphins only make sounds when they eat. D．Different dolphin sounds happen during different activities. 51．What is the main goal of the CHAT system? A．To help dolphins find food more easily. B．To make dolphins know human words. C．To let it help humans catch dolphins. D．To test whether dolphins can connect sounds with things. 52．What can we infer（推断）from the last paragraph? A．Google wants computers to do all the studies instead of people. B．Google won’t let others use Dolphin-Gemma to do their studies. C．There is still long way to go before scientists can know how animals talk exactly. D．It’s more important for scientists to study other animals than dolphins. 53．What’s the best title of the text? A．The future of studying how animals talk. B．How AI helps people understand dolphin language. C．New computer tools for recording ocean sounds. D．How to teach dolphins to play with underwater speakers. C Do you often feel tired or unable to focus in class? It might have something to do with how you spend your free time after school. Many students choose to play video games or watch short videos for hours, but these activities don’t really help our bodies or minds relax. Instead, trying some simple, active things can make a big difference. First, taking a 20-minute walk outside is a great idea. Fresh air and sunlight can help you clear your mind after a day of studying. You might even notice small things you never saw before, like a new flower in the park or a bird building a nest. This small break can make you feel more energetic for homework later. If you have a pet, bringing it along for the walk makes the time even more fun—you can play fetch with your dog or let your cat explore the grass nearby. Second, doing a little creative work is helpful too. You don’t have to be good at it—drawing a quick picture, writing a short poem, or even arranging stones in your garden can work. Creative activities let your brain switch from “study mode” to “relax mode,” which helps reduce stress. For example, I once drew a picture of my favorite cartoon character after a hard math test, and I felt much calmer afterward. Lastly, talking to your family for 10 minutes can make you feel better. Share a funny thing that happened in class, or ask your parents about their day. This not only helps you relax but also makes your family closer. Sometimes, they might even give you a small piece of advice that solves a problem you’ve been worrying about. Remember, how you relax after school affects how you feel the next day. Choosing active, meaningful ways to spend your free time can make you healthier and more ready to learn. 54．What problem does the writer talk about first? A．Students having too much homework. B．Students feeling tired or unfocused in class. C．Students not liking going to school. D．Students forgetting what they learned. 55．What does the writer suggest doing for 20 minutes outside? A．Playing video games. B．Watching short videos. C．Taking a walk. D．Doing homework. 56．How long does the writer suggest talking to family? A．5 minutes B．10 minutes C．15 minutes D．20 minutes 57．Why does the writer suggest talking to family? A．To get help with homework. B．To learn about family history. C．To relax and get closer to family. D．To practice speaking skills. 任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Every year, there’s a talent show in our school. And the theme（主题）of this year’s talent show is dreams. I took part in two competitions this year: cosplay（角色扮演）and dancing. The cosplay competition was the most popular part of the talent show. Students could get dressed up as any characters they liked. Although it was our first time to take part in such a competition, we decided to try our best. When we walked on the stage（舞台）, we were very nervous. Later, we made a mistake during the competition so we didn’t win. But we will work harder for the next competition. There are six boys in my team and we’re good at street dance. When the music played, we all felt excited. We danced so well that all of the students and teachers cheered（喝彩）for us. Our team did a good job and won first prize. We felt happy and we learned how to work as a team. This is the most important thing we learned from the competition. Everyone should have a dream. So if you want to do something you like, just go for it! 58．What is the theme of this year’s talent show?（不超过5个单词） ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 59．Why didn’t they win the cosplay competition?（不超过10个单词） ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 60．What did the writer learn from the dancing competition?（不超过10个单词） ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 六、词汇运用（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） （A）根据首字母或中文提示填空 61．My English teacher is very p______.
