A bunch of strangers showed up at the gym in the early morning of the last Sunday of April. A few athletes were already stretching (拉伸) their arms, but most of us could hardly focus. As I was burning off last night’s wrong decision — a big meal, I saw a poster about a gym’s 21-day workout challenge, and I immediately signed up. I always wanted to train for a marathon, so I considered this as my warm-up. Besides, I needed to stop being lazy and this was my chance to make a change.
It was easy to promise on paper, but three weeks of recommended exercise routines and diet restrictions (限制) wouldn’t be easy. I stuck to working out 30 minutes a day, and I didn’t disturb (干扰) my normal routine. Instead, I had to be faced with the tough work of being more creative in my spare time, thus breaking some bad habits.
Overcoming weaknesses with willpower was my goal for the next part of the journey. But the difficult part about making a challenge is realizing that “wanting” and “doing” are two very different things. Just like a career, you have to physically work for it rather than just wait for it to happen. But that’s hard. Throughout the 21 days, I often told myself that the challenge was meaningless and tried to sabotage myself from exercising. However, finally I got over that negative thought and kept working out.
At the end of the challenge, I learned something even more important: Feeling the results is better than seeing them. I had fewer headaches and more energy, and was simply happier. I even felt a little smarter as I researched which foods were better for my body, and learned how to make healthier meals. I felt a sense of achievement, too, because even though I wanted to give up dozens of times, I didn’t. I felt my waist got a little bit smaller and my arms got even stronger, and I no longer felt guilty after having a piece of cake or a drink.
4.What can be inferred about the author’s previous state before signing up for the challenge?
A.He was physically fit but lacked drive.
B.He was a regular gym-goer with a strict diet.
C.He had an unhealthy lifestyle and needed a change.
D.He was an athlete preparing for a major competition.
5.What was the most difficult part of the challenge for the author?
A.Overcoming negative thought and self-doubt.
B.Physical tiredness from the workouts.
C.Refusing the invitation of junk food.
D.Making a new workout plan.
6.What does the underlined word “sabotage” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Improve. B.Learn. C.Prevent. D.Support.
7.Which of the following words can best describe the author?
A.Active and casual. B.Adventurous and impatient.
C.Inspiring and changeable. D.Determined and strong-willed.
【答案】4.C 5.A 6.C 7.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者报名参加健身房21天健身挑战的经历,克服过程中的消极想法,最终收获身心改变与成就感的故事。
4.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“As I was burning off last night’s wrong decision — a big meal, I saw a poster about a gym’s 21-day workout challenge, and I immediately signed up.(当我还在为昨晚的错误决定——一顿大餐而消耗热量时,我看到了一张健身房21天健身挑战的海报,便立刻报了名。)”以及“Besides, I needed to stop being lazy and this was my chance to make a change.(此外,我必须改掉懒惰的毛病,这是我做出改变的机会。)”可知,作者此前有着不健康的生活方式,并且需要做出改变。故选C项。
5.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Throughout the 21 days, I often told myself that the challenge was meaningless and tried to sabotage myself from exercising. However, finally I got over that negative thought and kept working out.(在这21天里,我经常告诉自己这个挑战毫无意义,并试图阻止自己去锻炼。但最终我克服了这种消极想法,坚持了下来。)”可知,这次挑战中作者最难的部分是克服消极的想法和自我怀疑。故选A项。
6.词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Throughout the 21 days, I often told myself that the challenge was meaningless and tried to sabotage myself from exercising. However, finally I got over that negative thought and kept working out.(在这21天里,我经常告诉自己这个挑战毫无意义,并试图sabotage自己去锻炼。但最终我克服了这种消极想法,坚持了下来。)”可知,作者产生了消极想法,想要放弃锻炼,因此此处是试图阻止自己进行锻炼,sabotage意为“阻止、妨碍”,与prevent的意义相近。故选C项。
7.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Throughout the 21 days, I often told myself that the challenge was meaningless and tried to sabotage myself from exercising. However, finally I got over that negative thought and kept working out.(在这21天里,我经常告诉自己这个挑战毫无意义,并试图阻止自己去锻炼。但最终我克服了这种消极想法,坚持了下来。)”以及第四段中的“I felt a sense of achievement, too, because even though I wanted to give up dozens of times, I didn’t.(我也有一种成就感,因为尽管我无数次想要放弃,却还是坚持了下来。)”可知,作者尽管多次产生放弃的想法,但始终坚持完成挑战,是一个坚定且意志力强的人。故选D项。

You may be attracted by pictures of animals in the wild. You might have imagined yourself taking pictures of animals that are seldom seen in the city. If you do get that chance, you may want to consider the following tips or rules.
First of all, a lot of professional photographers give respect (尊重) to these animals and the environment they are in. Just remember that you should respect the animals and the environment in case these animals bite or attack you.
Keep in mind that you are taking pictures of real, live, wild animals. A wild animal may bite to protect itself. You must be aware while taking their pictures and be gentle in all your movements. Do not feed the animals, or interact (互动) with animals that are sleeping or caring for their young.
Change the flash of your camera to natural light, so the animals will not be frightened or surprised when you start shooting. Animals do not react well when they are surprised. Be very patient. Make sure you are aware of the changes in behavior of the animal and its emotions. Be familiar with the animals’ natural habitat.
Now if those rules are clear, it is time for planning. Consider the weather; some animals do not go out when it is raining while some animals love the rain. Therefore, a little research on the weather will not hurt. You should consider taking pictures after sunrise and before sunset. Now if the animal is active at night, then you should prepare to fight against not only the wild but also the darkness.
An adventure in the wild will make you very excited. However, you should be well prepared, have experts to back you up, and also a permit (许可证) for doing the photo shoot. If you do not have any of these, then maybe you should consider visiting the zoo instead.
8.What should you do to show respect to the wildlife?
A.Tuning off the flash. B.Caring for their babies.
C.Feeding them whenever you want. D.Taking pictures when they are sleeping.
9.What should you consider before taking pictures with the wildlife?
A.Food and water. B.Weather and time.
C.Emotions and safety. D.Place and transportation.
10.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Most animals love being taken photos of. B.We have to go to the zoo to take photos.
C.Only experts have a permit to take photos. D.There is danger while taking photos with wild animals.
11.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To advertise a zoo. B.To do some research.
C.To give some advice. D.To introduce some wildlife.
【答案】8.A 9.B 10.D 11.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要是告诉大家在给野生动物拍照时应该注意的问题。
8.细节理解题。根据第二段“First of all, a lot of professional photographers give respect ( 尊重 ) to these animals and the environment they are in. Just remember that you should respect the animals and the environment in case these animals bite or attack you.”(首先,很多专业摄影师尊重这些动物和它们所处的环境。只要记住,你应该尊重动物和环境,以防这些动物咬或攻击你。)可知,对动物拍照时要尊重这些动物和它们所处的环境。你应该尊重动物和环境,以防这些动物咬或攻击你。第三段中“You must be aware while taking their pictures and be gentle in all your movements. Do not feed the animals, or interact (互动) with animals that are sleeping or caring for their young.”(在给他们拍照的时候,你必须保持警觉,动作要轻柔。不要给动物喂食,也不要与正在睡觉或照顾幼崽的动物接触。)可知,拍照的时候,你必须保持警觉,动作要轻柔。不要给动物喂食,也不要与正在睡觉或照顾幼崽的动物接触。据此可知,选项B、C和D错误;第四段中“Change the flash of your camera to natural light, so the animals will not be frightened or surprised when you start shooting. (把相机的闪光灯调到自然光,这样当你开始拍摄时,动物就不会被吓到或惊讶了。)”可推知,给动物拍照时,关掉闪光灯,这样当你开始拍摄时,动物就不会被吓到或惊讶了。故选A。
9.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Consider the weather; some animals do not go out when it is raining while some animals love the rain. Therefore, a little research on the weather will not hurt. You should consider taking pictures after sunrise and before sunset. Now if the animal is active at night, then you should prepare to fight against not only the wild but also the darkness.”(考虑一下天气;有些动物在下雨的时候不出去,而有些动物喜欢下雨。因此,对天气做一点研究不会有坏处。你应该考虑在日出之后和日落之前拍照。现在,如果动物在夜间活动,那么你不仅要准备好与野生动物作战,还要准备好与黑暗作战。)可知,要拍摄动物的照片,提前考虑天气和拍照时间是必要的。故选B。
10.推理判断题。根据最后一段“An adventure in the wild will make you very excited. However, you should be well prepared, have experts to back you up, and also a permit (许可证) for doing the photo shoot. If you do not have any of these, then maybe you should consider visiting the zoo instead.”(野外探险会让你非常兴奋。然而,你应该做好充分的准备,有专家为你做后盾,还要有拍照的许可证。如果你没有这些,那么也许你应该考虑去动物园。)可知,野外探险会让你非常兴奋。然而,你应该做好充分的准备。可推知,野外探险会有危险的,故选D。
11.推理判断题。根据第一段“You may be attracted by pictures of animals in the wild. You might have imagined yourself taking pictures of animals that are seldom seen in the city. If you do get that chance, you may want to consider the following tips or rules.”(你可能会被野生动物的照片所吸引。你可能会想象自己在拍城市里很少见到的动物。如果你有这样的机会,你可能会考虑以下建议或规则。)可知,本段作为文章的主题段落,主要是告诉大家在给野生动物拍照时应该注意的问题。因而,本文的写作目的是给大家一些建议。故选C。
D
Whale communication has long been a puzzle for scientists, with their underwater sound — “click… click… click” — remaining largely unexplained. However, thanks to the surprising abilities of artificial intelligence (AI), researchers from a program can interpret the sounds of these amazing sea animals.
The program is called the Whale Translation Project (WTP), whose meaning is to know what whales are saying. Its goal is clear but very difficult to achieve. Understanding the communication of whales and other animals could inspire conservation (保护) efforts. For example, the discovery that humpback whales sing to each other in the 1960s led to successful conservation activities and laws.
The WTP started when Gruber, a biologist at Harvard University, turned to a computer scientist for help about dealing with a large amount of data on whale sounds. They thought of applying machine learning, used for improving human language translations, to whales. The sound of click, similar to a binary code (二进制), is easy for AI to analyze.
Scientists once presented the sounds of a whale using a series of lines to show the number of clicks per second. Now, with the help of AI, Gruber can quickly turn the thousands of whale sounds from hours of recordings into a new kind of pictures that look like musical notes. This method helps to find tiny differences in the sounds. Gruber can use AI to analyze the differences and the specific context, like the behavior of moving to the surface and hunting for food, and thus understand the meaning of the whale sound easily. He can also discover how whales interact, getting 99% right in predicting (预测) the next click.
This kind of work isn’t limited to whales. Suresh Neethirajan, a computer science and agriculture professor, studies how farmers can use real-time observation to explain animal behaviors. He collects data, such as body temperature, paired with recorded sounds and videos, to understand whether animals are comfortable or not. With AI, he can recognise sick animals quickly, improving their well-being.
12.What is the purpose of mentioning the discovery in the 1960s?
A.To stress the value of studying animal communication.
B.To explain the difficulty of saving humpback whales.
C.To show the success of protecting the environment.
D.To introduce the challenge of understanding whale language.
13.How can AI help according to paragraph 4?
A.It records whale sound quickly. B.It processes sound data effectively.
C.It reads musical notes correctly. D.It promotes whale interactions directly.
14.What can we learn about AI according to the last paragraph?
A.It cures diseases of animals. B.It improves farmers’ well-being.
C.It aims to change animal behavior. D.It helps to understand animals’ needs.
15.Which is the best title of the passage?
A.A New Method to Record Whales’ Living Behaviors
B.The Development of Whale Protection Laws
C.How Scientists Study Different Sea Animals
D.The Amazing Use of AI in Understanding Animal Sounds
【答案】12.A 13.B 14.D 15.D
【导语】本文主要介绍了鲸鱼的神秘性以及科学家如何利用人工智能技术来解读鲸鱼的声音。
【详解】12.推理判断题。根据第二段“For example, the discovery that humpback whales sing to each other in the 1960s led to successful conservation activities and laws.(例如,20世纪60年代座头鲸互相唱歌的发现导致了成功的保护活动和法律)”可知,提到20世纪60年代的发现的目的是为了强调研究动物交流的价值。
13.推理判断题。根据第四段“Now, with the help of AI, Gruber can quickly turn the thousands of whale sounds from hours of recordings into a new kind of pictures that look like musical notes. This method helps to find tiny differences in the sounds.(如今,借助人工智能,格鲁伯能够将数小时录音中成千上万的鲸鱼声音快速转化为类似音符的新形态图像。这种方法有助于发现声音中的细微差异)”可知,人工智能可以有效地处理声音数据。
14.细节理解题。根据最后一段“He collects data, such as body temperature, paired with recorded sounds and videos, to understand whether animals are comfortable or not. With AI, he can recognise sick animals quickly, improving their well-being.(他收集体温等数据,并将其与录制的声音和视频相结合,以了解动物是否感到舒适。有了人工智能,他可以快速识别生病的动物,改善它们的健康状况)”可知,根据最后一段,关于人工智能我们可以了解到的是它有助于理解动物的需求。
15.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Whale communication has long been a puzzle for scientists, with their underwater sound — “click… click… click” — remaining largely unexplained. However, thanks to the surprising abilities of artificial intelligence (AI), researchers from a program can interpret the sounds of these amazing sea animals.(鲸鱼的交流长期以来一直是科学家们的一大谜题,它们发出的水下声音——“咔嗒……咔嗒……咔嗒”——至今仍难以解释。然而,得益于人工智能(AI)令人惊讶的能力,来自一个研究项目的科学家们能够解读这些神奇海洋生物发出的声音)”可知,本文核心围绕利用人工智能技术解读鲸鱼声音展开,同时延伸介绍了AI在其他动物声音研究中的应用,能够精准概括全文核心内容的标题是“人工智能在理解动物声音方面的惊人应用”。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1. 5分, 满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Indeed, beginning your freshman year of high school is a big and exciting step. It’s totally normal 36 (feel) a bit nervous. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what to expect during your freshman year.
Classes are harder and learning expectations rise, which often means more homework, more 37 (challenge) tests, and a greater need for independent study. 38 (fortunate), your middle school years have likely helped you build 39 solid foundation — skills such as organization, time management, and effective studying will help you rise to the challenges 40 succeed in your new study environment.
You’ll take more responsibility for your own learning. Your teachers, unlike middle school, won’t always guide you step by step. You’ll need to be more self-motivated(自我激励的) and manage your schedules 41 your own. Classes may be larger, and lessons may move faster. If you feel 42 (frighten), speak up anyway and your teachers are there to help. If talking to teachers 43 (give) you butterflies in your stomach, try starting with a message instead.
With more classmates than in middle school, many of 44 are new faces, it can feel difficult at first. However, try seeing each person as a potential new friend. By 45 (join) extra-curricular activities, you’ll naturally meet like-minded people and build meaningful connections.
【答案】
36.to feel 37.challenging 38.Fortunately 39.a 40.and 41.on 42.frightened 43.gives 44.whom 45.joining
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章为即将进入高中一年级的学生提供关于高一生活的指导。
【详解】36.考查非谓语动词。句意:感到有点紧张是完全正常的。It’s + adj. + to do sth.是固定句型,意为“做某事是……的”,此处it为形式主语,用动词不定式作真正的主语。故填to feel。
37.考查形容词。句意:课程更难了,学习要求也提高了,这通常意味着更多的作业、更具挑战性的考试,以及对自主学习的更大需求。此处需用形容词修饰名词tests,形容词challenging表示“具有挑战性的”,修饰物。故填challenging。
38.考查副词。句意:幸运的是,你的初中时光可能已经帮助你打下了坚实的基础——像规划能力、时间管理能力和高效学习这样的技能会帮助你迎接挑战,并在新的学习环境中取得成功。此处需用副词来修饰整个句子,fortunate的副词形式为fortunately,表示“幸运地是”,且句首单词首字母需大写。故填Fortunately。
39.考查冠词。句意:幸运的是,你的初中时光可能已经帮助你打下了坚实的基础——像规划能力、时间管理能力和高效学习这样的技能会帮助你迎接挑战,并在新的学习环境中取得成功。build a solid foundation是固定短语,意为“打下坚实的基础”,solid是以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
40.考查连词。句意:幸运的是,你的初中时光可能已经帮助你打下了坚实的基础——像规划能力、时间管理能力和高效学习这样的技能会帮助你迎接挑战,并在新的学习环境中取得成功。rise to the challenges和succeed in your new study environment是并列关系,所以用并列连词and连接。故填and。
41.考查介词。句意:你会需要更有自我驱动力,并且自主管理你的日程安排。on one’s own是固定短语,意为“独自;独立地”。故填on。
42.考查形容词。句意:如果你感到害怕,无论如何都要大胆说出来,你的老师会帮忙的。此处需用形容词作表语,frighten的形容词形式frightened表示“感到害怕的”,形容人的感受。故填frightened。
43.考查谓语动词。句意:如果和老师交谈让你心里发慌,那就试着先从发信息开始。描述客观情况用一般现在时,主语talking to teachers是动名词短语,作主语时,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填gives。
44.考查连词。句意:同学比初中多,其中很多都是新面孔,一开始可能会觉得很难。此处考查“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词是classmates,指人,所以用关系代词whom作介词of的宾语。故填whom。
45.考查非谓语动词。句意:通过参加课外活动,你会很自然地遇到志同道合的人,并建立有意义的联系。by是介词,后面接动名词形式。故填joining。

47. 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。
Everything changed when I entered high school. With 790 students in my freshman class, I felt completely lost, recognizing no one from middle school. Loneliness followed me home. My elder brother was busy with his future plans, and my popular sister was always surrounded by friends. They both seemed to fit in perfectly. “Why can’t I?” I wondered, entering the house after another difficult day.
Mom was there waiting for me. “Karole, your bedroom’s a disaster. Why can’t you keep it clean?”
The last thing I needed was criticism(批评) from my mother. Where was the mother who used to sit with me on the couch, reading stories and loving me unconditionally? I didn’t try to explain my feelings. It was easier to hide in my room with my bad mood, as I did every afternoon.
Clearing a space on my desk, I opened my math book—yet another thing I wasn’t good at anymore. My grades had been falling along with my confidence. I started working on the first problem but immediately made a mistake. “Wrong again! You can’t do anything right!” I tore the paper from my notebook, crumpled it, and threw it toward the wastebasket. It missed and landed on the floor, echoing my mother’s words in my mind.
By the time I finished my homework, the floor was littered with crumpled(起皱的) paper. Strangely, seeing this mess gave me a kind of satisfaction—it seemed to prove all my failures. I lifted the bedcover and kicked the papers under the bed. This became my secret habit. Each crumpled ball reminded me I was a failure, yet I hid my unhappiness as carefully as I hid those papers. Behind my mask of indifference, nobody knew my true feelings. Who would want to listen?
One day, I came home to an empty house. It was a relief not to be met with Mom’s latest complaint. Nothing I do is right in her eyes, I thought. Or anyone else’s, including mine.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When I opened the door of my bedroom, I froze.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I recognized Mom’s perfect handwriting on the note at once.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
When I opened the door of my bedroom, I froze. The messy floor that I’d hidden papers under every day was spotless— no crumpled balls, no scattered notebooks. My desk was neatly organized too, with my math book placed gently in the center. On the bed lay a folded stack of my favorite snacks and a small white envelope, which stood out against the clean sheets. My throat tightened suddenly; I’d never expected anyone to notice the mess I’d been hiding, let alone tidy it up so quietly.
I recognized Mom’s perfect handwriting on the note at once. “Karole, I saw every paper you hid. Each one didn’t mean you’re a failure, just that you’re trying. High school is hard, and it’s okay to feel lost. I’m sorry I didn’t ask how you felt earlier. Whenever you’re ready to talk, I’ll be on the couch.” Tears rolled down my cheeks. I walked to the living room, and Mom looked up with a soft smile. I sat beside her, finally letting go of the mask I’d worn for so long. That day, I realized I wasn’t alone after all.

A bunch of strangers showed up at the gym in the early morning of the last Sunday of April. A few athletes were already stretching (拉伸) their arms, but most of us could hardly focus. As I was burning off last night’s wrong decision — a big meal, I saw a poster about a gym’s 21-day workout challenge, and I immediately signed up. I always wanted to train for a marathon, so I considered this as my warm-up. Besides, I needed to stop being lazy and this was my chance to make a change.
It was easy to promise on paper, but three weeks of recommended exercise routines and diet restrictions (限制) wouldn’t be easy. I stuck to working out 30 minutes a day, and I didn’t disturb (干扰) my normal routine. Instead, I had to be faced with the tough work of being more creative in my spare time, thus breaking some bad habits.
Overcoming weaknesses with willpower was my goal for the next part of the journey. But the difficult part about making a challenge is realizing that “wanting” and “doing” are two very different things. Just like a career, you have to physically work for it rather than just wait for it to happen. But that’s hard. Throughout the 21 days, I often told myself that the challenge was meaningless and tried to sabotage myself from exercising. However, finally I got over that negative thought and kept working out.
At the end of the challenge, I learned something even more important: Feeling the results is better than seeing them. I had fewer headaches and more energy, and was simply happier. I even felt a little smarter as I researched which foods were better for my body, and learned how to make healthier meals. I felt a sense of achievement, too, because even though I wanted to give up dozens of times, I didn’t. I felt my waist got a little bit smaller and my arms got even stronger, and I no longer felt guilty after having a piece of cake or a drink.
4.What can be inferred about the author’s previous state before signing up for the challenge?
A.He was physically fit but lacked drive.
B.He was a regular gym-goer with a strict diet.
C.He had an unhealthy lifestyle and needed a change.
D.He was an athlete preparing for a major competition.
5.What was the most difficult part of the challenge for the author?
A.Overcoming negative thought and self-doubt.
B.Physical tiredness from the workouts.
C.Refusing the invitation of junk food.
D.Making a new workout plan.
6.What does the underlined word “sabotage” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Improve. B.Learn. C.Prevent. D.Support.
7.Which of the following words can best describe the author?
A.Active and casual. B.Adventurous and impatient.
C.Inspiring and changeable. D.Determined and strong-willed.
C
You may be attracted by pictures of animals in the wild. You might have imagined yourself taking pictures of animals that are seldom seen in the city. If you do get that chance, you may want to consider the following tips or rules.
First of all, a lot of professional photographers give respect (尊重) to these animals and the environment they are in. Just remember that you should respect the animals and the environment in case these animals bite or attack you.
Keep in mind that you are taking pictures of real, live, wild animals. A wild animal may bite to protect itself. You must be aware while taking their pictures and be gentle in all your movements. Do not feed the animals, or interact (互动) with animals that are sleeping or caring for their young.
Change the flash of your camera to natural light, so the animals will not be frightened or surprised when you start shooting. Animals do not react well when they are surprised. Be very patient. Make sure you are aware of the changes in behavior of the animal and its emotions. Be familiar with the animals’ natural habitat.
Now if those rules are clear, it is time for planning. Consider the weather; some animals do not go out when it is raining while some animals love the rain. Therefore, a little research on the weather will not hurt. You should consider taking pictures after sunrise and before sunset. Now if the animal is active at night, then you should prepare to fight against not only the wild but also the darkness.
An adventure in the wild will make you very excited. However, you should be well prepared, have experts to back you up, and also a permit (许可证) for doing the photo shoot. If you do not have any of these, then maybe you should consider visiting the zoo instead.
8.What should you do to show respect to the wildlife?
A.Tuning off the flash. B.Caring for their babies.
C.Feeding them whenever you want. D.Taking pictures when they are sleeping.
9.What should you consider before taking pictures with the wildlife?
A.Food and water. B.Weather and time.
C.Emotions and safety. D.Place and transportation.
10.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Most animals love being taken photos of. B.We have to go to the zoo to take photos.
C.Only experts have a permit to take photos. D.There is danger while taking photos with wild animals.
11.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To advertise a zoo. B.To do some research.
C.To give some advice. D.To introduce some wildlife.
D
Whale communication has long been a puzzle for scientists, with their underwater sound — “click… click… click” — remaining largely unexplained. However, thanks to the surprising abilities of artificial intelligence (AI), researchers from a program can interpret the sounds of these amazing sea animals.
The program is called the Whale Translation Project (WTP), whose meaning is to know what whales are saying. Its goal is clear but very difficult to achieve. Understanding the communication of whales and other animals could inspire conservation (保护) efforts. For example, the discovery that humpback whales sing to each other in the 1960s led to successful conservation activities and laws.
The WTP started when Gruber, a biologist at Harvard University, turned to a computer scientist for help about dealing with a large amount of data on whale sounds. They thought of applying machine learning, used for improving human language translations, to whales. The sound of click, similar to a binary code (二进制), is easy for AI to analyze.
Scientists once presented the sounds of a whale using a series of lines to show the number of clicks per second. Now, with the help of AI, Gruber can quickly turn the thousands of whale sounds from hours of recordings into a new kind of pictures that look like musical notes. This method helps to find tiny differences in the sounds. Gruber can use AI to analyze the differences and the specific context, like the behavior of moving to the surface and hunting for food, and thus understand the meaning of the whale sound easily. He can also discover how whales interact, getting 99% right in predicting (预测) the next click.
This kind of work isn’t limited to whales. Suresh Neethirajan, a computer science and agriculture professor, studies how farmers can use real-time observation to explain animal behaviors. He collects data, such as body temperature, paired with recorded sounds and videos, to understand whether animals are comfortable or not. With AI, he can recognise sick animals quickly, improving their well-being.
12.What is the purpose of mentioning the discovery in the 1960s?
A.To stress the value of studying animal communication.
B.To explain the difficulty of saving humpback whales.
C.To show the success of protecting the environment.
D.To introduce the challenge of understanding whale language.
13.How can AI help according to paragraph 4?
A.It records whale sound quickly. B.It processes sound data effectively.
C.It reads musical notes correctly. D.It promotes whale interactions directly.
14.What can we learn about AI according to the last paragraph?
A.It cures diseases of animals. B.It improves farmers’ well-being.
C.It aims to change animal behavior. D.It helps to understand animals’ needs.
15.Which is the best title of the passage?
A.A New Method to Record Whales’ Living Behaviors
B.The Development of Whale Protection Laws
C.How Scientists Study Different Sea Animals
D.The Amazing Use of AI in Understanding Animal Sounds

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
Everything changed when I entered high school. With 790 students in my freshman class, I felt completely lost, recognizing no one from middle school. Loneliness followed me home. My elder brother was busy with his future plans, and my popular sister was always surrounded by friends. They both seemed to fit in perfectly. “Why can’t I?” I wondered, entering the house after another difficult day.
Mom was there waiting for me. “Karole, your bedroom’s a disaster. Why can’t you keep it clean?”
The last thing I needed was criticism(批评) from my mother. Where was the mother who used to sit with me on the couch, reading stories and loving me unconditionally? I didn’t try to explain my feelings. It was easier to hide in my room with my bad mood, as I did every afternoon.
Clearing a space on my desk, I opened my math book—yet another thing I wasn’t good at anymore. My grades had been falling along with my confidence. I started working on the first problem but immediately made a mistake. “Wrong again! You can’t do anything right!” I tore the paper from my notebook, crumpled it, and threw it toward the wastebasket. It missed and landed on the floor, echoing my mother’s words in my mind.
By the time I finished my homework, the floor was littered with crumpled(起皱的) paper. Strangely, seeing this mess gave me a kind of satisfaction—it seemed to prove all my failures. I lifted the bedcover and kicked the papers under the bed. This became my secret habit. Each crumpled ball reminded me I was a failure, yet I hid my unhappiness as carefully as I hid those papers. Behind my mask of indifference, nobody knew my true feelings. Who would want to listen?
One day, I came home to an empty house. It was a relief not to be met with Mom’s latest complaint. Nothing I do is right in her eyes, I thought. Or anyone else’s, including mine.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;

When I opened the door of my bedroom, I froze.
