Camp fires are allowed within 100 feet off the beach, but must be away from the dry grass. (沙滩上不允许露营车和帐篷。营火允许在离海滩100英尺的范围内生火，但必须远离干燥的草地)”和Swimming and other activities中的“The speed limit is 25 mph. Building sand castles, digging sand to find something, riding bicycles and flying kites are also popular activities in the area. (车速限制为每小时25英里。建沙堡、挖沙找东西、骑自行车和放风筝也是该地区受欢迎的活动)”可知，在长滩可以挖沙子找东西。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Here, visitors can relax and enjoy the good of a total rest.(游客们可以在这里放松和享受良好的休息)”及文章内容可知，本文都是关于一些旅游活动的介绍。由此推知，文章应该出自一本旅游指南。故选B。 B Mark Brown, 57, had been making films for 30 years, but he found himself feeling tired of it. “I thought, things can only go downhill.” Brown knew he needed to do something else — but what? A few years earlier, he had bought his childhood house and moved in. While Brown wondered about a second care er in gardening, he heard a different internal voice. “That child who used to love drawing whispered to me down the years,” he said. Some unacknowledged longing in him was brought out. There was a great oak tree near his home. It had stood out to his young self as a “fantastical giant — a treasure home to birds, insects and animals. There was a cave inside. We used to squeeze in through this hole.” He decided to lock himself away for two months to draw it in all its glorious detail. “While I was drawing,” he said, “there came moments when it was as though the tree was drawing itself. I had spent so much time playing in it. I could feel it. It was deep inside me.” His finished oak held “a real power”, he said. “As you walk towards it, it just grows.” Brown became a tree portraitist. Over the next few years, he travelled across Britain and spent days with the trees selected with the help of the Ancient Tree Forum, the Tree Council and the Woodland Trust. Brown has started work on a 20-drawing series of Britain’s most important ash trees. “These beautiful old ash trees are going to be lost to us,” he says. “They are 350 years old and they are dying because of a disease that we’ve spread.” Drawing is not only an act of care and a demand for preservation, but it “gives me that interface between my passion for the natural world and my creativity,” Brown says. It has also given him a different perspective on the passage of time. “I’m an old man yet I’m only 71, and some of the trees I’ve drawn are 1,000 years old. When I’m with them and when I draw them, I think about the end of my life and the brief nature of human life that passes momentarily beneath them.” 4. At the age of 57, Brown ______. A. moved into his old house B. awakened a childhood interest C. reached the peak of his life D. developed a passion for gardening 5. What can we learn about the oak tree and Brown? A. It helped him start a new career. B. It linked him with the world. C. He built a tree house in it. D. He studied creatures in it. 6. What is Brown working on? A. Setting up tree organizations. B. Looking for cures for tree diseases. C. Drawing to call for protection for trees. D. Travelling to select important trees in Britain. 7. When Brown is with trees, he feels that ______. A. time is endless B. human life is temporary C. nature is dynamic D. life-long learning is crucial 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了57岁的马克·布朗唤醒了儿时的兴趣，成为了一名树木肖像画家。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段““That child who used to love drawing whispered to me down the years,” he said. Some unacknowledged longing in him was brought out.(“那个喜欢画画的孩子多年来一直对我耳语，”他说。他心中某种未被承认的渴望被激发出来了)”可知，57岁时，布朗唤醒了儿时的兴趣。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“His finished oak held “a real power”, he said. “As you walk towards it, it just grows.” Brown became a tree portraitist.(他说，他的成品橡木拥有“真正的力量”。“当你走向它的时候，它就会越来越大。”布朗成为了一名树木肖像画家)”可知，橡树让布朗开始了新的职业生涯。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““These beautiful old ash trees are going to be lost to us,” he says. “They are 350 years old and they are dying because of a disease that we’ve spread.”(“这些美丽的老白蜡树对我们来说将会失去，”他说。“它们已经350岁了，由于我们传播的疾病，它们正在死去。”)”可知，布朗呼吁保护树木。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When I’m with them and when I draw them, I think about the end of my life and the brief nature of human life that passes momentarily beneath them.(当我和他们在一起，当我画他们的时候，我想到了我生命的终结，以及人类生命的短暂本质，在他们下面转瞬即逝)”可知，当布朗和树在一起时，他觉得人的生命是短暂的。故选B。 C Technology seems to discourage slow, immersive reading. Reading on a screen tires your eyes and makes it harder to keep your place. So online writing tends to be more skimmable and list-like than printed text. However, we shouldn’t overplay this danger. All readers skim, a skill learned in childhood as we become better readers. Nor is there anything new in these fears about declining attention spans (持续时间). So far, the concerns have turned out to be false alarms and necessary. “Quite a few critics have been worried about attention span lately and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline,” the American author Selvin Brown wrote. “Poems are short, but they don’t harm attention spans. ” And yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read. First, it means that there is more to read, because more people than ever are writing. Digital writing is designed for rapid release and immediate response. Online articles quickly attract comments within minutes of publication. This can make writing and reading more interactive and fun, but people often respond too quickly without thinking much about others’ ideas. The result is a noisy space where everyone talks over everyone else, all desperate to be heard. To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by engaging with the words and slowly following the line of thought. The human need for this kind of deep reading is too tenacious for any new technology to destroy. We often assume that technological change is unstoppable and one-directional, so that older media like printed books are kicked out by newer digital forms. In practice, however, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle(an e-book reader) and the iPad have not killed off the printed book any more than the car killed off the bicycle. We still want to enjoy carefully-formed ideas and precisely-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading. 8. What is the author’s attitude towards Selvin Brown’s opinion? A. Favorable. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Objective. 9. What can be inferred about digital reading from Paragraph 3? A. It requires readers to stay fully immersed. B. It encourages readers to think more deeply. C. It leads readers to value responding more than reflection. D. It reduces the amount of information people are exposed to. 10. What does the underlined word“tenacious” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Straight-forward. B. Old-fashioned. C. Deep-rooted. D. Well-balanced. 11. Why are Kindle and iPad talked about in the last paragraph? A. To show technological change is unstoppable and one-directional. B. To tell us Kindle and iPad are more influential than cars. C. To show older technologies can be in coexistence with new ones D. To show we spend more time for slow reading. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了科技对阅读方式的影响，并强调慢阅读仍有其存在的价值。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Nor is there anything new in these fears about declining attention spans ( 持续时间 ). So far, the concerns have turned out to be false alarms and necessary. ‘Quite a few critics have been worried about attention span lately and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline,’ the American author Selvin Brown wrote. ‘Poems are short, but they don’t harm attention spans. ’ (对注意力持续时间下降的担忧也并非新鲜事物。到目前为止，这些担忧已被证明是虚惊一场，而且是有必要的。‘最近有不少评论家担心注意力持续时间的问题，并将非常短的故事视为文化衰退的迹象，’美国作家塞尔文·布朗写道，‘诗歌很短，但它们不会损害注意力持续时间。’)”可知，作者引用塞尔文·布朗的话，是为了说明虽然有人担心注意力持续时间的问题，但诗歌的存在证明这种担心是没有必要的，由此可推断出作者对塞尔文·布朗的观点是持支持态度的。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Digital writing is designed for rapid release and immediate response. Online articles quickly attract comments within minutes of publication. This can make writing and reading more interactive and fun, but people often respond too quickly without thinking much about others’ ideas.  (数字写作旨在快速发布和即时回应。在线文章在发布几分钟内就能迅速吸引评论。这可以使写作和阅读更具互动性和趣味性，但人们常常反应过快，而不太思考他人的观点。)”可知，数字阅读鼓励读者快速回应，而往往没有对别人的想法进行太多思考，即数字阅读导致读者更重视回应而非反思。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“The human need for this kind of deep reading is too tenacious for any new technology to destroy. (人类对这种深度阅读的需求是如此的tenacious，以至于任何新技术都无法摧毁它。)”可知，任何新技术都无法摧毁它，说明人类对深度阅读的需求是强烈，由此可推测出tenacious意为“根深蒂固的，强烈的”。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In practice, however, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle (an e-book reader) and the iPad have not killed off the printed book any more than the car killed off the bicycle. (然而，在实践中，旧技术可以与新技术共存。Kindle（一种电子阅读器）和iPad并没有消灭纸质书，就像汽车没有消灭自行车一样。)”可知，作者提及Kindle和iPad是为了说明新技术可以与旧技术共存。 D A Queensland University of Technology (QUT) research team has taken inspiration from the brains of insects and animals for more energy-efficient robotic navigation. The research, led by Dr Hussaini, along with Professor Milford and Dr Fischer from the QUT Centre for Robotics, was published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics. They came up with a novel place recognition algorithm (算法) using Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs). “SNNs are artificial neural networks that imitate how biological brains process information using brief, separate signals, much like how neurons (神经元) in animal brains communicate,” Dr Hussaini said. “These networks are particularly well-suited for neuromorphic hardware — specialized computer hardware that copies biological neural system — enabling faster processing and significantly reduced energy consumption.” Modern robots still struggle to navigate and operate in complex, unknown environments. They also often rely on AI-based navigation systems that need a lot of computing power and energy for training. Dr Fischer said, “Animals are really good at getting around in large, dynamic environments. They do it efficiently and reliably.” He thinks this research is a step closer to making navigation systems inspired by biology. These systems might one day be better than today’s conventional approaches. The system developed by the QUT team uses small neural network parts to recognize specific places from images. These parts were put together to make a group of spiking networks to create a navigation system that can learn to move around in large environments. “Using a series of images instead of single pictures enabled an improvement of 41 percent in place recognition accuracy, allowing the system to adapt to appearance changes over time and across different seasons and weather conditions,” Professor Milford said. “This research can help make more efficient and reliable navigation systems for autonomous robots in energy-limited environments. It’s especially good for things like space exploration and disaster recovery, where using energy well and being quick to respond are critical,” Dr Hussaini said. 12. What does the QUT research focus on? A. Testing artificial intelligence systems. B. Imitating AI-based navigation systems. C. Managing existing robotic navigation systems. D. Creating bio-inspired robotic navigation systems. 13. What is a key advantage of SNNs? A. Requiring low energy. B. Conducting object detection. C. Producing suitable hardware. D. Processing separate information. 14. What can be inferred about neural network parts? A. They analyze environmental sounds. B. They assess conventional approaches. C. They enable accurate place recognition. D. They measure different weather conditions. 15. What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A. The significance of the research. B. The advantage of the system. C. The efficiency of the navigation. D. The performance of the application. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了昆士兰科技大学（QUT）研究团队受昆虫和动物大脑启发，开发了一种新型的脉冲神经网络（SNNs）算法，用于更节能的机器人导航系统。该研究通过模仿生物神经系统的信息处理方式，提升了导航系统的效率和适应性，尤其在复杂或能源受限环境中具有应用潜力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A Queensland University of Technology (QUT) research team has taken inspiration from the brains of insects and animals for more energy-efficient robotic navigation(昆士兰科技大学研究团队从昆虫和动物大脑中获取灵感，开发更节能的机器人导航系统)”以及第五段“He thinks this research is a step closer to making navigation systems inspired by biology.(他认为这项研究使受生物学启发的导航系统更近了一步)”可知，QUT研究的核心是开发受生物启发的导航系统。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“These networks are particularly well-suited for neuromorphic hardware — specialized computer hardware that copies biological neural system — enabling faster processing and significantly reduced energy consumption(这些网络特别适合神经形态硬件——一种模拟生物神经系统的专用计算机硬件，能够实现更快的处理速度并显著降低能耗)”可知，SNNs的关键优势是低能耗。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“The system developed by the QUT team uses small neural network parts to recognize specific places from images. These parts were put together to make a group of spiking networks to create a navigation system that can learn to move around in large environments(昆士兰科技大学（QUT）团队开发的系统利用小型神经网络部件从图像中识别特定地点。这些部件组合起来形成了一组脉冲神经网络，从而创建出一个能够在大型环境中学习移动的导航系统)”和倒数第二段“Using a series of images instead of single pictures enabled an improvement of 41 percent in place recognition accuracy, allowing the system to adapt to appearance changes over time and across different seasons and weather conditions(使用一系列图像而非单张图片使位置识别准确率提高了41%，使系统能够适应随时间、不同季节和天气条件而产生的外观变化)”可知，神经网络组件从图像中识别特定地点，使位置识别准确率提高了41%，使系统能够适应随时间、不同季节和天气条件而产生的外观变化，可推理出神经网络组件的作用是实现准确的地点识别。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This research can help make more efficient and reliable navigation systems for autonomous robots in energy-limited environments. It’s especially good for things like space exploration and disaster recovery, where using energy well and being quick to respond are critical(这项研究有助于为在能源有限的环境中使用的自主机器人开发出更高效、可靠的导航系统。它特别适合于太空探索和灾难救援等领域，在这些领域中，有效利用能源和快速响应至关重要)”可知，研究有助于开发出更高效、可靠的导航系统，特别适合于太空探索和灾难救援等领域；因此，最后一段主要讲的是研究成果的实际应用价值，即研究的意义。故选A。 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2. 5 分，满分 12. 5 分) 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。 Luck can really feel random, and it can be tough to know how to get good luck.

He has always been a gentle animal lover and often feeds stray (流浪的) animals near his community after school. On June 29th, he took his usual shortcut through a secluded old alley (巷子) to head home. As he walked slowly along the wall, faint, timid whimpers (呜咽) drifted into his ears. Curious and confused, he followed the soft sound and walked deeper into the alley. Soon, a disturbing scene came into his sight. Four local teenage boys were surrounding a helpless stray dog family. A tender mother dog stayed tightly in the corner, trying her best to curl up (蜷缩) her body to shield (保护) several tiny, trembling pups beside her. The frightened little puppies huddled (依偎) closely against their mother, trembling nonstop and daring not to make any noise. The four boys blocked their way, hitting the timid dog family with sticks for fun, showing no mercy at all. Seeing the poor and helpless creatures, Fleming’s heart was filled with extreme discomfort and sympathy. He immediately walked forward seriously to stop the boys’ cruel behavior. He tried to reason with them patiently, hoping they could show kindness to little animals. However, the four boys showed no sign of guilt or regret. They shrugged casually and insisted that dogs were just ordinary animals without feelings. In their childish and wrong opinion, humans were far more important than animals, and playing tricks on or even hitting stray dogs was no big deal. It would never be regarded as a cruel or wrong thing to do. Fleming knelt down gently and tried to calm the scared dog family, containing his anger and trying to figure out a solution. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 Fleming decided to teach them a good lesson. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The boys realized their fault and even offered to help the dog family. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： A (Soft Version) Fleming decided to teach them a good lesson. He did not argue or blame them. Instead, he softly asked the boys to look straight into the mother dog’s eyes. Curious, the boys stepped forward and fixed their eyes on her. They saw nothing but pure terror and helplessness in her watery eyes, as she struggled to shield her fragile pups. The sight struck them suddenly. Their previous arrogance faded little by little, and they gradually softened, truly touched by the poor mother dog’s love and fear. The boys realized their fault and even offered to help the dog family. Feeling deep regret, they threw away their sticks and made a sincere apology. They hurried to buy food and fresh water for the starving dog family. Together with Fleming, they set up a simple shelter in the quiet corner of the alley. Afterwards, they often came to care for the strays, finally learning that every precious life deserves mercy and kindness. B (Tough Version) Fleming decided to teach them a good lesson. Unable to contain his anger any longer, he stepped forward abruptly and blocked the boys with his body. When one boy tried to swing the stick at the dogs again, Fleming firmly grabbed the stick and snatched it away violently. Faced with Fleming’s cold, firm glare, the four boys were stunned and stepped back nervously. Fleming then forced them to look into the mother dog’s frightened eyes. The desperate, trembling look in her eyes silently condemned their cruelty, slowly melting their naughtiness and arrogance. The boys realized their fault and even offered to help the dog family. Frightened and ashamed, they bowed their heads and apologized honestly. To make up for their bad behavior, they rushed to purchase food and water for the poor dogs. They also helped Fleming tidy up the corner and build a warm shelter for the stray family. It was this tough but kind lesson that made them realize all lives were equal and should never be hurt for fun. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述高中生弗莱明热心爱护小动物，偶然发现四名少年恶意欺负流浪狗母子。他上前劝阻却遭到无视，少年们认为捉弄动物无关紧要，弗莱明冷静下来，打算用合适的方式教育他们、引导他们善待生命。 【详解】1. 段落续写：（参考A） ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写弗莱明没有指责，引导少年直视母狗的恐惧与护崽的模样，让少年内心触动、态度软化。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写少年们认识错误、诚恳道歉，主动投喂、搭建庇护所，学会善待每一个生命。 2. 续写线索：温柔引导——直面场景——内心触动——态度软化——认错道歉——主动帮扶——守护流浪狗——领悟善意 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①注视：fix one’s eyes on/stare at ②丢弃：throw away/abandon/desert 情绪类 ①傲慢：arrogance/pride ②愧疚：regret/guilt 【点睛】[高分句型 1] They saw nothing but pure terror and helplessness in her watery eyes, as she struggled to shield her fragile pups.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型 2] Their previous arrogance faded little by little, and they gradually softened, truly touched by the poor mother dog’s love and fear.（运用了过去分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 平凉一中高三上学期月考英语试卷 (试卷满分 150 分，考试时间 120 分钟)命题人 何岩 第一部分听力(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节(共 5 小题;每小题 1. 5 分，满分 7. 5 分) 1.

Communities there take you back to old days of a simple life. Here, visitors can relax and enjoy the good of a total rest. Bird watching There are different kinds of birds on Long Beach. It’s best if you watch them from a distance and don’t try to frighten them. The Southwest Loop Route Map can be got through the Long Beach Peninsula Visitors Office by calling l-800-451-2542. Horses A popular activity on Long Beach is horseback riding. Two businesses in the city of Long Beach offer guided horseback tours along the beach: Black Country Wilderness Outfitters and Skipper’s Equestrian Center. You may also bring your own horse. Among the adventures offered with horses is a wagon ride along the beach, a carriage ride through Sea view or Long Beach, a back country pack trip, or a sunset ride by horseback on the beach. Camping RV and tent camping aren’t allowed on the beach. Camp fires are allowed within 100 feet off the beach, but must be away from the dry grass. Swimming and other activities Swimming is allowed, but you must be careful. The waters are very cold and dangerous. Surfing is advised only for experienced surfers. Beach driving is allowed at certain areas on the beach. The speed limit is 25 mph.

What can we learn about Long Beach from the passage? A. Its people live a simple life. B. It is a world-famous tourist attraction. C. It lies in southeastern Washington. D. It is 28 kilometers long. 2. Which of the following is allowed on Long Beach? A. Tent camping. B. Driving at the speed of 30 mph along the beach. C. Digging sand to find something. D. Setting camp fires far away from the beach. 3. The passage is most probably taken from________. A. a research paper B. a travel guide C. a news report D. an instruction(说明书) B Mark Brown, 57, had been making films for 30 years, but he found himself feeling tired of it. “I thought, things can only go downhill.” Brown knew he needed to do something else — but what? A few years earlier, he had bought his childhood house and moved in. While Brown wondered about a second care er in gardening, he heard a different internal voice. “That child who used to love drawing whispered to me down the years,” he said. Some unacknowledged longing in him was brought out. There was a great oak tree near his home. It had stood out to his young self as a “fantastical giant — a treasure home to birds, insects and animals. There was a cave inside. We used to squeeze in through this hole.” He decided to lock himself away for two months to draw it in all its glorious detail. “While I was drawing,” he said, “there came moments when it was as though the tree was drawing itself. I had spent so much time playing in it. I could feel it. It was deep inside me.” His finished oak held “a real power”, he said. “As you walk towards it, it just grows.” Brown became a tree portraitist. Over the next few years, he travelled across Britain and spent days with the trees selected with the help of the Ancient Tree Forum, the Tree Council and the Woodland Trust. Brown has started work on a 20-drawing series of Britain’s most important ash trees. “These beautiful old ash trees are going to be lost to us,” he says. “They are 350 years old and they are dying because of a disease that we’ve spread.” Drawing is not only an act of care and a demand for preservation, but it “gives me that interface between my passion for the natural world and my creativity,” Brown says. It has also given him a different perspective on the passage of time. “I’m an old man yet I’m only 71, and some of the trees I’ve drawn are 1,000 years old. When I’m with them and when I draw them, I think about the end of my life and the brief nature of human life that passes momentarily beneath them.” 4. At the age of 57, Brown ______. A. moved into his old house B. awakened a childhood interest C. reached the peak of his life D. developed a passion for gardening 5. What can we learn about the oak tree and Brown? A. It helped him start a new career. B. It linked him with the world. C. He built a tree house in it. D. He studied creatures in it. 6. What is Brown working on? A. Setting up tree organizations. B. Looking for cures for tree diseases. C. Drawing to call for protection for trees. D. Travelling to select important trees in Britain. 7. When Brown is with trees, he feels that ______. A. time is endless B. human life is temporary C. nature is dynamic D. life-long learning is crucial C Technology seems to discourage slow, immersive reading. Reading on a screen tires your eyes and makes it harder to keep your place. So online writing tends to be more skimmable and list-like than printed text. However, we shouldn’t overplay this danger. All readers skim, a skill learned in childhood as we become better readers. Nor is there anything new in these fears about declining attention spans (持续时间). So far, the concerns have turned out to be false alarms and necessary. “Quite a few critics have been worried about attention span lately and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline,” the American author Selvin Brown wrote. “Poems are short, but they don’t harm attention spans. ” And yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read. First, it means that there is more to read, because more people than ever are writing. Digital writing is designed for rapid release and immediate response. Online articles quickly attract comments within minutes of publication. This can make writing and reading more interactive and fun, but people often respond too quickly without thinking much about others’ ideas. The result is a noisy space where everyone talks over everyone else, all desperate to be heard. To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by engaging with the words and slowly following the line of thought. The human need for this kind of deep reading is too tenacious for any new technology to destroy. We often assume that technological change is unstoppable and one-directional, so that older media like printed books are kicked out by newer digital forms. In practice, however, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle(an e-book reader) and the iPad have not killed off the printed book any more than the car killed off the bicycle. We still want to enjoy carefully-formed ideas and precisely-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading. 8. What is the author’s attitude towards Selvin Brown’s opinion? A. Favorable. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Objective. 9. What can be inferred about digital reading from Paragraph 3? A. It requires readers to stay fully immersed. B. It encourages readers to think more deeply. C. It leads readers to value responding more than reflection. D. It reduces the amount of information people are exposed to. 10. What does the underlined word“tenacious” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Straight-forward. B. Old-fashioned. C. Deep-rooted. D. Well-balanced. 11. Why are Kindle and iPad talked about in the last paragraph? A. To show technological change is unstoppable and one-directional. B. To tell us Kindle and iPad are more influential than cars. C. To show older technologies can be in coexistence with new ones D. To show we spend more time for slow reading. D A Queensland University of Technology (QUT) research team has taken inspiration from the brains of insects and animals for more energy-efficient robotic navigation. The research, led by Dr Hussaini, along with Professor Milford and Dr Fischer from the QUT Centre for Robotics, was published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics. They came up with a novel place recognition algorithm (算法) using Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs). “SNNs are artificial neural networks that imitate how biological brains process information using brief, separate signals, much like how neurons (神经元) in animal brains communicate,” Dr Hussaini said. “These networks are particularly well-suited for neuromorphic hardware — specialized computer hardware that copies biological neural system — enabling faster processing and significantly reduced energy consumption.” Modern robots still struggle to navigate and operate in complex, unknown environments. They also often rely on AI-based navigation systems that need a lot of computing power and energy for training. Dr Fischer said, “Animals are really good at getting around in large, dynamic environments. They do it efficiently and reliably.” He thinks this research is a step closer to making navigation systems inspired by biology. These systems might one day be better than today’s conventional approaches. The system developed by the QUT team uses small neural network parts to recognize specific places from images. These parts were put together to make a group of spiking networks to create a navigation system that can learn to move around in large environments. “Using a series of images instead of single pictures enabled an improvement of 41 percent in place recognition accuracy, allowing the system to adapt to appearance changes over time and across different seasons and weather conditions,” Professor Milford said. “This research can help make more efficient and reliable navigation systems for autonomous robots in energy-limited environments. It’s especially good for things like space exploration and disaster recovery, where using energy well and being quick to respond are critical,” Dr Hussaini said. 12. What does the QUT research focus on? A. Testing artificial intelligence systems. B. Imitating AI-based navigation systems. C. Managing existing robotic navigation systems. D. Creating bio-inspired robotic navigation systems. 13. What is a key advantage of SNNs? A. Requiring low energy. B. Conducting object detection. C. Producing suitable hardware. D. Processing separate information. 14. What can be inferred about neural network parts? A. They analyze environmental sounds. B. They assess conventional approaches. C. They enable accurate place recognition. D. They measure different weather conditions. 15. What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A. The significance of the research. B. The advantage of the system. C. The efficiency of the navigation. D.

He has always been a gentle animal lover and often feeds stray (流浪的) animals near his community after school. On June 29th, he took his usual shortcut through a secluded old alley (巷子) to head home. As he walked slowly along the wall, faint, timid whimpers (呜咽) drifted into his ears. Curious and confused, he followed the soft sound and walked deeper into the alley. Soon, a disturbing scene came into his sight. Four local teenage boys were surrounding a helpless stray dog family. A tender mother dog stayed tightly in the corner, trying her best to curl up (蜷缩) her body to shield (保护) several tiny, trembling pups beside her. The frightened little puppies huddled (依偎) closely against their mother, trembling nonstop and daring not to make any noise. The four boys blocked their way, hitting the timid dog family with sticks for fun, showing no mercy at all. Seeing the poor and helpless creatures, Fleming’s heart was filled with extreme discomfort and sympathy. He immediately walked forward seriously to stop the boys’ cruel behavior. He tried to reason with them patiently, hoping they could show kindness to little animals. However, the four boys showed no sign of guilt or regret. They shrugged casually and insisted that dogs were just ordinary animals without feelings. In their childish and wrong opinion, humans were far more important than animals, and playing tricks on or even hitting stray dogs was no big deal. It would never be regarded as a cruel or wrong thing to do. Fleming knelt down gently and tried to calm the scared dog family, containing his anger and trying to figure out a solution. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 Fleming decided to teach them a good lesson. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The boys realized their fault and even offered to help the dog family. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
