Every day, Timmy would watch the family make tea and share stories. One sunny morning, a letter floated down from the sky, landing softly on the kitchen table. What could it be? Timmy carefully opened it and read. “Dear Timmy, you are invited to join the Time Travelers Club! Come to the old pine tree at noon. Adventure (冒险) awaits!” “Oh my!” Timmy shouted, “I’m going on an adventure!” At noon, Timmy rolled his way to the old pine tree. Down below the tree, he saw two friendly faces: a bright yellow clock named Hansel and a shiny silver compass named Carl. “Welcome, Timmy!” Hansel chimed, “We are so happy you are here!” “Are you ready to travel through time?” Carl asked. Timmy nodded eagerly. “Yes, yes! What are we going to do?” Hansel answered, “We are going to visit the past and the future!” They jumped into a time gateway that appeared under the pine tree. They spun and twirled, until they landed softly on the ground. “We are in ancient Egypt!” Hansel said, pointing to the tall pyramids in the distance. “Let’s go and meet the friendly people here!” They played and shared stories with the people by the Nile River, learning about their lives and how they built the pyramids. Timmy felt warm inside. He knew how important it was to share and listen. But soon, it was time to go. They waved goodbye to their new friends and jumped back into the time gateway. In no time, they landed in the future! Timmy looked in surprise at the flying cars and the friendly robots helping everyone. They met a kind robot named Rolo, who taught them how to plant trees and recycle. “It’s important to care for our Earth!” Rolo said with a smile. Timmy felt proud to learn all these wonderful things. After a fun day, it was time to return home As they landed under the old pine tree, Timmy felt happy and full of knowledge. “Thank you, friends! I learned so much today!” From that day on, whenever the family made tea, Timmy would tell them about his adventures... 26. What left a deep impression on Timmy in Egypt? A. The beauty of the Nile River. B. The height of the pyramids. C. How the people there lived and worked. D. How Timmy and his friends got to Egypt. 27. Why did Timmy feel proud after meeting Rolo? A.

Timmy felt warm inside.”可知，Timmy在埃及与人们互动，了解他们的生活和金字塔的建造方式，这给他留下了深刻印象。 【27题详解】 根据倒数第四段“They met a kind robot named Rolo, who taught them how to plant trees and recycle. ‘It’s important to care for our Earth!’ Rolo said with a smile. Timmy felt proud to learn all these wonderful things.”可知，Timmy感到自豪是因为他学到了如何保护地球（植树和回收）。 【28题详解】 根据故事发展顺序：首先a. Timmy收到信；然后d. Timmy在松树下遇到汉塞尔和卡尔；接着b. Timmy游览古埃及和未来；最后c. Timmy回家分享冒险经历。因此正确顺序为a-d-b-c。 【29题详解】 Timmy在古埃及学会了分享与倾听（历史与友谊），在未来学会了保护地球（植树、回收），因此他回家后会讲述历史、友谊和环保的重要性。 【30题详解】 本文采用拟人化角色（茶壶、时钟、指南针），情节充满想象力和教育意义，语言简洁生动，适合儿童阅读，因此最可能出自儿童故事书。 (B) How are animals communicating with each other? In the past, we could only study this by watching animals carefully or teaching them human language. But now with the help of AI and machine learning, we may be able to understand their languages! All around the animal world, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants, for example, talk with each other using infrasound—too low for humans to hear. Bats communicate with ultrasound—too high for humans to hear. However, by putting field recorders in trees, on mountaintops, and even on the backs of whales and birds, scientists can collect their sounds. After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meanings. For example, a team of Israeli scientists used AI to get the meanings of bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60% of calls were fights and disagreements about four things: food, sleep positions, personal space, and unwanted advances. This is surprising as bats are thought to be quiet animals! The new technology can not only understand animal talks, but also communicate back to them. For example, scientists in Germany studied how bees used sounds and dances to speak. Then they put the bee language system into a robot bee, and hid it in a bee hive where bees live. The robot gave orders to the other bees, like “quiet down” or “stop”, and they would follow. Why is it important to understand animals’ words? It is the first step to give other kinds of creatures on Earth a chance to express themselves. The natural world is full of conversations. But we are only able to understand one of them. By using AI, we are better able to listen to them, especially those in faraway places like deep seas and mountain tops. Though AI has proved itself to be useful, we have to think about the problems it may bring. What problems would there be if one day we could use animal robots to “talk” to real animals? Will humans use the technology to control or hurt the animals? What can we do to stop these? We’d better think about these problems before we act. 31. How can AI and machine learning help people understand animals? ①By teaching human language to animals. ②By picking up sounds humans cannot hear. ③By working out the meaning of animals’ sounds. ④By teaching animals to understand robots’ words. ⑤By learning animal languages to talk with them. A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③⑤ D. ③④⑤ 32. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 3? A. The group of Israeli scientists. B. The study on bats’ disagreements. C. The number of bats’ calls. D. The finding on bats’ calls. 33. Why is it meaningful to understand animals’ languages? A. It makes it possible for animals to be heard. B. It proves human’s ability to understand and control animals. C. It helps discover more animals in the faraway places. D. It allows humans to listen to animals more clearly. 34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Bats are very quiet animals and hardly have disagreements. B. Scientists can only collect animal sounds on trees and mountaintops. C. The robot bee could give orders and real-bees followed them. D. We have already solved all the problems that AI may bring to animals. 35. What does the writer think of the technology? A. He is surprised at it. B. He is afraid of it. C. He is careful about it. D. He is satisfied with it. 【答案】31. C 32. D 33. A 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍AI技术如何帮助人类理解动物的语言，同时探讨该技术的意义与潜在风险。 【31题详解】 根据第二段“scientists can collect their sounds”可知AI能帮助拾取人类听不见的声音（对应②）；根据第三段“AI can study their meanings”可知能弄清楚动物声音的含义（对应③）；根据第四段“communicate back to them”及第五段“listen to them”可知能与动物对话（对应⑤）。①是过去的做法，④并非主要帮助理解的方式。 【32题详解】 根据第三段“They found that more than 60% of calls were fights and disagreements…This is surprising…”可知，“This”指代前一句中科学家关于蝙蝠叫声内容的发现。 【33题详解】 根据第五段“It is the first step to give other kinds of creatures on Earth a chance to express themselves.”可知，理解动物语言的重要性在于给动物表达自我的机会，即让它们被听见。 【34题详解】 A项与第三段研究发现（蝙蝠常有争吵）矛盾；B项“only”与第二段“even on the backs of whales and birds”矛盾；D项与最后一段“we have to think about the problems”矛盾。C项与第四段“The robot gave orders…and they would follow.”描述一致。 【35题详解】 根据最后一段“Though AI has proved itself to be useful, we have to think about the problems it may bring…We’d better think about these problems before we act.”可知，作者认为在享受技术便利的同时要谨慎思考其带来的问题。 (C) The Palace Museum Turns 100 On October 10, 2025, the Palace Museum in Beijing celebrated its 100th birthday.

Every day, Timmy would watch the family make tea and share stories. One sunny morning, a letter floated down from the sky, landing softly on the kitchen table. What could it be? Timmy carefully opened it and read. “Dear Timmy, you are invited to join the Time Travelers Club! Come to the old pine tree at noon. Adventure (冒险) awaits!” “Oh my!” Timmy shouted, “I’m going on an adventure!” At noon, Timmy rolled his way to the old pine tree. Down below the tree, he saw two friendly faces: a bright yellow clock named Hansel and a shiny silver compass named Carl. “Welcome, Timmy!” Hansel chimed, “We are so happy you are here!” “Are you ready to travel through time?” Carl asked. Timmy nodded eagerly. “Yes, yes! What are we going to do?” Hansel answered, “We are going to visit the past and the future!” They jumped into a time gateway that appeared under the pine tree. They spun and twirled, until they landed softly on the ground. “We are in ancient Egypt!” Hansel said, pointing to the tall pyramids in the distance. “Let’s go and meet the friendly people here!” They played and shared stories with the people by the Nile River, learning about their lives and how they built the pyramids. Timmy felt warm inside. He knew how important it was to share and listen. But soon, it was time to go. They waved goodbye to their new friends and jumped back into the time gateway. In no time, they landed in the future! Timmy looked in surprise at the flying cars and the friendly robots helping everyone. They met a kind robot named Rolo, who taught them how to plant trees and recycle. “It’s important to care for our Earth!” Rolo said with a smile. Timmy felt proud to learn all these wonderful things. After a fun day, it was time to return home As they landed under the old pine tree, Timmy felt happy and full of knowledge. “Thank you, friends! I learned so much today!” From that day on, whenever the family made tea, Timmy would tell them about his adventures... 26. What left a deep impression on Timmy in Egypt? A. The beauty of the Nile River. B. The height of the pyramids. C. How the people there lived and worked. D. How Timmy and his friends got to Egypt. 27. Why did Timmy feel proud after meeting Rolo? A.

But now with the help of AI and machine learning, we may be able to understand their languages! All around the animal world, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants, for example, talk with each other using infrasound—too low for humans to hear. Bats communicate with ultrasound—too high for humans to hear. However, by putting field recorders in trees, on mountaintops, and even on the backs of whales and birds, scientists can collect their sounds. After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meanings. For example, a team of Israeli scientists used AI to get the meanings of bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60% of calls were fights and disagreements about four things: food, sleep positions, personal space, and unwanted advances. This is surprising as bats are thought to be quiet animals! The new technology can not only understand animal talks, but also communicate back to them. For example, scientists in Germany studied how bees used sounds and dances to speak. Then they put the bee language system into a robot bee, and hid it in a bee hive where bees live. The robot gave orders to the other bees, like “quiet down” or “stop”, and they would follow. Why is it important to understand animals’ words? It is the first step to give other kinds of creatures on Earth a chance to express themselves. The natural world is full of conversations. But we are only able to understand one of them. By using AI, we are better able to listen to them, especially those in faraway places like deep seas and mountain tops. Though AI has proved itself to be useful, we have to think about the problems it may bring. What problems would there be if one day we could use animal robots to “talk” to real animals? Will humans use the technology to control or hurt the animals? What can we do to stop these? We’d better think about these problems before we act. 31. How can AI and machine learning help people understand animals? ①By teaching human language to animals. ②By picking up sounds humans cannot hear. ③By working out the meaning of animals’ sounds. ④By teaching animals to understand robots’ words. ⑤By learning animal languages to talk with them.

In the painting, people can see a wonderful world of nature and life. There are rolling green mountains, clear winding rivers, small villages hidden in the green hills, and boats sailing on the water.
