He is one of the best basketball players of the 20th century. And this October, the star is coming back to TV as a basketball commentator (解说员) with NBC (美国全国广播公司). Born in 1963 in New York, Jordan was an amazing player. He led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships and won two Olympic gold medals with Team USA. In 2003, he stopped playing and worked with Nike to build the shoe brand—Air Jordan. This is a nickname he got from his fans, as he could make amazing jumps when scoring slam dunks (灌篮), almost as if flying through the air. In May, NBC Sports said Jordan would join them as a special contributor (嘉宾). Jordan was excited about this: “I am so happy to see the NBA back on NBC…and I’m excited to be a special contributor to the project,” he said in a video message. For Jordan, this will be his first media role in his career, according to Yahoo Sports. Fans are looking forward to hearing what Jordan has to say about the games, too. One thing is clear: Jordan never really left the game, and he’s ready to share his love for basketball with all of us. 11. What is Michael Jordan mainly known for? A. Being a famous NASCAR driver. B. Being an outstanding basketball player. C. Hosting TV shows about food. D. Designing shoes for Nike. 12. How many NBA championships did Jordan help the Chicago Bulls win? A. Two. B. Four. C. Six. D. Eight. 13. Why did Jordan get the nickname “Air Jordan”? A. Because he used to fly planes with his friends in his free time. B. Because he could jump amazingly high when doing slam dunks. C. Because he often traveled around the world by air for games. D. Because he founded the shoe brand which was named “Air”. 14. What do we know about Jordan’s new role with NBC? A. It is his first role as a special contributor for NBC. B. He will talk about NASCAR races. C. He started the job in May 2025. D. He is not excited about this role. 15.

I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn’t notice three hours pass by. Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mum ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realized that although I didn’t make the pie successfully, I really enjoyed the process. The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us form good relationships with others. If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success. But in this busy world, we see that a lot of successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process? Well, the question has the answer in itself. Don’t always compare yourself with others. First of all, we are all different. And success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power. Ride your own ride. Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient. Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop. Reward yourself. Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them. Rewarding yourself for small wins can go a long way. For example, if you are in the process of losing weight, enjoy your favourite cake once in a while. 16. How does the writer start the article? A. By giving an example B. By comparing facts. C. By using old sayings. D. By listing numbers. 17. According to paragraph 2, what can new experiences during the process help us do? A. Get the biggest and best final result easily. B. Develop good relationships with others. C. Focus more on the result instead of the process. D. Avoid feeling disappointed when we fail. 18. What does the underlined sentence “Ride your own ride” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Try to become as successful as other people around you. B. Focus on your own path and goals instead of following others. C. Learn from others’ experiences to achieve your success faster. D. Change your goals often to keep up with different people’s ideas. 19. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. 20. Which could be the best title for the text? A. Never give up B. The meaning of success C. Enjoy the process D. How to get good results C In the 1970s, a gorilla known as Koko became world-famous when researchers taught her to use human sign language to communicate with people. There were numerous attempts (尝试) in the mid-1900s to teach human language to non-humans, such as Koko. But what we should have been thinking about was their abilities to engage in complex communication on their own terms instead of trying to teach an animal to talk to us in human language. Today, researchers are trying to figure out how living things already share information using their particular methods. This new field of study is known as digital bioacoustics (数字生物声学) and it involves using tools to understand the production of sounds and their effects on living things. Researchers in this field are using sensors, which are devices that pick up and record information on physical or chemical conditions. Some are also using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, an approach that uses algorithms (算法). The same algorithms that we use in tools such as Google Translate to translate documents can also be used to find patterns in nonhuman communication. Jeremy of Tel Aviv University studied nearly two dozen Egyptian fruit bats (埃及果蝠) for two and a half months and recorded their vocalizations (叫声). His team adapted (改造) a voice-recognition program to study 15,000 of the sounds. The algorithm matched specific sounds with specific things the bats were doing. Using this program, the researchers were able to classify most of the bats’ sounds. Jeremy and other researchers have found that bats have a much more complex language than we previously understood. Bats argue over food; they distinguish (区分) between genders when they communicate with one another, and they have individual names, or “signature calls”. That’s a great example of how AI is able to find these patterns from information gathered by sensors and microphones. AI reveals (显示) things that we cannot hear with our human ears alone because most bat communication happens above our hearing range and because bats speak much faster than we do. We have to slow it down to listen to it. That’s why we cannot listen like a bat, but our computers can. And our computers can also speak back to the bat by producing specific patterns. Digital bioacoustics is like an amazing hearing aid. It lets us listen to animals with both our digitally enhanced ears and our imagination. This is slowly opening our minds not only to the wonderful sounds that nonhumans make, but to a fundamental set of questions about the so-called divide between humans and nonhumans as well as our connection to other species. It’s also opening up new ways to think about protecting living things and our relationship with the planet. It’s pretty meaningful. 21. Regarding researchers’ efforts to teach animal human language, the author feels ________. A. negative B. unconcerned C. uncertain D. supportive 22. Researchers in digital bioacoustics are trying to study ________. A. how animals are using tools to produce their sounds B. how animals use different tools to share information C. how animals are taught to talk in human sign language D. how animals communicate with one another using sounds 23. What can we learn about AI applied in digital bioacoustics? A. It pairs certain animals’ sounds with their behaviors. B. It slows down animals’ sounds within humans’ hearing range. C. It adapts voice-recognition programs to record animals’ sounds. D. It translates specific nonhuman sound patterns into human language. 24. What does the word “signature” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Ordinary and common. B. Unique and specific. C. Loud and clear. D. Food-related and gender-linked. 25. According to the passage, the author may agree that ________. A. animals can be grouped according to their sound patterns B. scientists need to keep studying how animals produce sounds C. digital bioacoustics may inspire humans to rethink their relationship with animals D. the focus of digital bioacoustics should be the divide between humans and nonhumans 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分） 阅读下面短文，并从方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。 No matter who you are or where you live, the most important thing is what kind of person you are. ____26____ Among them, the following four ways are the most helpful ones.

Entertainment and communication take up 32% and 24%, respectively. In my opinion, the Internet is a double-edged sword. It helps us with our studies and life, but too much online time is bad for our health. Personally, I will use it mainly for study. I suggest we should control our online time and make good use of the Internet. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
