Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了杨忠凯团队借助腾讯云人工智能技术保护古树的做法。
1.A 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Since villagers widely regarded the tree as having the power to make their wishes come true, they used to kneel down in front of the ‘lucky’ tree and burn offerings under it, which led to prolonged heat exposure at its roots,stunting its growth.”(由于村民们普遍认为这棵树具有实现他们的愿望的力量,所以他们过去常常跪在“幸运”树前,在树下焚烧祭品,这导致其根部长时间暴露在高温下,阻碍了其生长。)可知,村民过去常在大树下燃烧贡品,导致大树的根部长时间暴露在高温之下,从而阻碍了大树的生长,画线单词stunting意为“阻碍”,故选A。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中“We can now collect data on the trees’ growth, health and environment in real time, which helps us make informed decisions on how to better protect them.”(现在,我们可以实时收集有关树木生长、健康和环境的数据,这有助于我们做出有根据的决定,更好地保护它们。)可知,腾讯云是一种保护古树的有效工具,故选B。
3.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘In addition to applying cutting-edge technologies such as AI and large models to assist in the development of traditional industries, the company also makes great efforts to promote the development of charitable causes through technological and platform advantages,’ Wu Yunsheng said, vice-president of Tencent Cloud, adding that ‘the power of technology can change the world’.”(“除了应用人工智能、大模型等前沿技术助力传统产业发展外,公司还通过技术和平台优势大力推动慈善事业发展。”腾讯云副总裁吴运声表示,并补充说“科技的力量可以改变世界”。)可知,他对于科技使用的态度是支持的,故选C。
4.B 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章介绍了杨忠凯团队借助腾讯云人工智能技术保护古树的做法,以此展现人工智能对于古树保护的作用,故选B。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文中通过具体事例和建议,向读者介绍了减少家庭浪费的方法,鼓励创造性地减少塑料和其他废弃物。
1.B 由上文“My mum is one of the least wasteful people I know. She always brings her own metal containers to buy basic foods like rice and flour.”可知,本空要说与“不浪费”有关的话题,由后文“The key is to be creative about reducing plastic and other waste—just like my mum does at home.”可知,本句要表达“你也可以像她一样不浪费”有关的话题,故B选项(你也可以过低浪费的生活。)能承上启下,符合文意。故选B。
2.D 由上文“One effective way is to conduct a review of household rubbish. List the rubbish by room or by activity.”可知,本空要说与“如何进行垃圾分类”有关的话题,故D选项(你可以在“儿童房”下面写上“用过的湿巾和纸巾”。) 能承接上文,符合文意。故选D。
3.A 由下文“A lot of low-waste solutions might seem like they require buying special containers like silicone (硅胶) replacements for your ziplock (带封口的) bags. But you don’t need to spend money on those items. Instead, figure out a way to repurpose the waste. Use empty cans, boxes and other food containers to store leftovers.”可知,本段主要讲述重新利用容器的建议,故A选项(你可以试着重复使用你的容器。)可以作为本段的首句,直接点明主题,符合段落大意。故选A。
4.E 由上文“Maybe you can mend an old pair of jeans instead of buying a new pair. Or maybe you can cut up old T-shirts into rags, which is what my mum used to do with my dad’s old T-shirts.”可知,本空要进一步说明这种方法的有效性,故E选项(我现在也这样做了,这些抹布非常适合家庭清洁。)能承接上文,符合文意。故选E。
5.F 由上文“Remember: lowering the amount of waste you create doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing pursuit.”可知,末段总结全文,指出减少垃圾的产生不必一下子做到完美,故F选项(找到适合你的改变,你会更有可能坚持下去。)鼓励读者根据自身情况做出调整并持之以恒,可以作为总结句。故选F。
Ⅶ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的西北大学教授郭松涛领导的一个研究小组正在开发一个利用面部识别和其他技术来识别川金丝猴的系统。
1.to identify 考查非谓语动词。此处表示目的,应用不定式作目的状语,故填to identify。
2.which 考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词golden snub-nosed monkeys,指物,且从句中缺少主语,应用关系代词which来引导,故填which。
3.making 考查非谓语动词。句中有谓语,且前后无连词,此处应用非谓语动词作状语,逻辑主语是前面整个句子,和动词make之间是主动关系,应用现在分词作状语,故填making。
4.has been applied 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。此处在句中作谓语,由in the past few years可知,应用现在完成时,主语machine learning和动词apply之间是被动关系,应用现在完成时的被动语态,主语是不可数名词,助动词应用has,故填has been applied。
5.protection 考查名词。此处应用名词protection作宾语,意为“保护”时为不可数名词,故填protection。
6.Previously 考查副词。此处应用副词previously作状语,修饰整个句子,单词位于句首,首字母大写,故填Previously。
7.it 考查代词。此处应用代词it,代指上文提到的a particular animal,作宾语,故填it。
8.with 考查介词。 (be) faced with为固定搭配,意为“面对”,故填with。
9.adopted 考查非谓语动词。 “With the facial recognition technology…on animals…”是with复合结构,即“with+宾语+宾语补足语”,宾语the facial recognition technology和动词adopt之间是被动关系,应用过去分词作宾语补足语,故填adopted。
10.easier 考查形容词比较级。由than 10 years ago可知,此处表示比10年前更容易,是比较级,应用形容词easy的比较级easier作表语,故填easier。

During Yang Zhongkai’s early years, a 500-year-old majestic ginkgo (银杏) tree that did not sprout leaves for two to three years at a stretch used to be a daily sight for him on his way to and from high school. Since villagers widely regarded the tree as having the power to make their wishes come true, they used to kneel down in front of the “lucky” tree and burn offerings under it, which led to prolonged heat exposure at its roots, stunting its growth.
“Millions of such old trees are in urgent need of protection, given their importance as vital biological resources and symbols of ecological civilization,” said Yang, who started the team—Zhiyue—dedicated to protecting ancient trees. “But the recording and management of ancient and famous trees nationwide commonly rely on Excel spreadsheets (电子表格), which present issues such as information silos, lack of real-time updates and incomplete content,” he said.
However, things have changed of late. Yang and his team now use the artificial intelligence technology developed by Tencent Cloud to identify and register trees accurately based on individual traits and GPS tracking. “With the acceleration of a new generation of technological revolution and industrial transformation, new technologies bring more excitement to the protection of ancient trees,” Yang said. “We can now collect data on the trees’ growth, health and environment in real time, which helps us make informed decisions on how to better protect them.”
“In addition to applying cutting-edge technologies such as AI and large models to assist in the development of traditional industries, the company also makes great efforts to promote the development of charitable causes through technological and platform advantages,” Wu Yunsheng said, vice-president of Tencent Cloud, adding that “the power of technology can change the world”.

A.Preventing. B.Boosting.

( )2.What can we infer about Tencent Cloud’s new technology?
A.It will replace Excel spreadsheets in the future.
B.It is an effective tool to protect ancient trees.
C.It will be widely used in modern industries.
D.It has remarkable advantages over other AI.

●Ⅵ 阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
My mum is one of the least wasteful people I know. She always brings her own metal containers to buy basic foods like rice and flour. 1. The key is to be creative about reducing plastic and other waste—just like my mum does at home.
One effective way is to conduct a review of household rubbish. List the rubbish by room or by activity. 2. This examination will help you assess your waste output and identify the ways to reduce it. For example, use reusable bags if you find a lot of plastic bags piling up under your sink.
3. A lot of low-waste solutions might seem like they require buying special containers like silicone (硅胶) replacements for your ziplock (带封口的) bags. But you don’t need to spend money on those items. Instead, figure out a way to repurpose the waste. Use empty cans, boxes and other food containers to store leftovers.
Beyond repurposing food containers, explore ways to save household items before throwing them away. Maybe you can mend an old pair of jeans instead of buying a new pair. Or maybe you can cut up old T-shirts into rags, which is what my mum used to do with my dad’s old T-shirts. 4. I don’t feel bad about getting grease (油脂) on them.
Remember: lowering the amount of waste you create doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing pursuit. 5.
A.You can try reusing your containers.
B.You can live a low-waste lifestyle too.
C.She used to bring reusable bags to the market.
