Kenya has been at the forefront(前沿)of the global war on plastic since the government banned single-use plastics in protected areas in June 2020. Unfortunately, the preventive measures have barely received attention. Hundreds of tons of industrial and consumer polymer waste continue to get dumped into landfills daily. However, if 29-year-old Nzambi Matee has her way the unsightly plastic heaps(堆)will soon be transformed into colorful bricks.
The materials engineer’s seeking to find a practical solution to control plastic pollution began in 2017. She quit her job and set up a small lab in her mother’s backyard. It took her nine months to produce the first brick and even longer to convince a partner to help build the machinery to make them. But the determined eco-entrepreneur was confident in her idea and did not give up.
She says, “I wanted to use my education to handle plastic waste pollution. But I was very clear that the solution had to be practical, sustainable, and affordable. The best way to do this was by channeling the waste into the construction space and finding the most efficient and affordable material to build homes.” Her company produces over 1,500 bricks a day. The pavers are made using a mix of plastic products that cannot be reprocessed or recycled.
The collected plastic is mixed with sand heated at very high temperatures, and compressed(压缩)into bricks that vary in color and thickness. The resulting product is stronger, lighter, and about 30 percent cheaper than concrete bricks. More importantly, it helps repurpose the lowest quality of plastic. “There is that waste they cannot process anymore; they cannot recycle. That is what we get.” Matee says.
Matee is not nearly done. Her dream is to reduce the mountain of trash to just a hill by increasing production and expanding her offerings. She says, “The more we recycle the plastic, the more we produce affordable housing, the more we created more employment for the youth.”
4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph imply?
A. Plastic waste hasn’t attracted enough attention. B. Matee’s idea has been widely accepted.
C. Colorful bricks are in huge demand. D. Matee’s method can be effective if adopted.
5. Which of the following can best describe Nzambi Matee?
A. Generous and ambitious. B. Confident and grateful
C. Creative and determined. D. Optimistic and modest.
6. What is Nzambi Matee’s final purpose in using a mix of plastic products?
A. To tackle plastic pollution. B. To support the government.
C. To create job opportunities. D. To build cheaper houses.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Kenya: Pioneer in Banning Plastic Single-use Plastics
B. Nzambi Matee: Innovator in Solving Plastic Waste
C. Mix of Plastic Products: A New Construction Material
D. Plastic Recycling: A Creative Solution to Pollution
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了肯尼亚的Nzambi Matee想通过自己的方法来解决塑料污染问题。她希望能将塑料垃圾制作成砖块。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据划线句子“However, if 29-year-old Nzambi Matee has her way the unsightly plastic heaps(堆)will soon be transformed into colorful bricks.(然而,如果29岁的Nzambi Matee按照她的想法去做的话,这些难看的塑料堆很快就会变成五颜六色的砖块。)”可判断,如果按照Nzambi Matee的想法去做的话,难看的塑料堆很快就会变成五颜六色的砖块,从而解决塑料垃圾的问题。由此推断,如果Nzambi Matee的方法被采纳的话,对于解决塑料垃圾问题是非常有效的。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The materials engineer’s seeking to find a practical solution to control plastic pollution began in 2017. She quit her job and set up a small lab in her mother’s backyard. It took her nine months to produce the first brick and even longer to convince a partner to help build the machinery to make them. But the determined eco-entrepreneur was confident in her idea and did not give up.(这位材料工程师从2017年开始寻找控制塑料污染的实用解决方案。她辞掉了工作,在她母亲的后院建立了一个小实验室。她花了9个月的时间制作第一块砖,甚至花了更长的时间说服合作伙伴帮助建造制造砖块的机器。但这位坚定的生态企业家对自己的想法充满信心,并没有放弃。)”可判断,她是一个有创造力的人,因此才能想出将塑料垃圾制作成砖块;而她不轻言放弃,所以她是一个有决心的人。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“She says, “I wanted to use my education to handle plastic waste pollution. But I was very clear that the solution had to be practical, sustainable, and affordable. The best way to do this was by channeling the waste into the construction space and finding the most efficient and affordable material to build homes.”(她说:“我想用我受到的教育来处理塑料垃圾污染。但我很清楚,解决方案必须是实用的、可持续的、负担得起的。做到这一点的最佳方法是将废物引入建筑空间,并找到最有效和最实惠的材料来建造房屋。”)”以及第四段““There is that waste they cannot process anymore; they cannot recycle. That is what we get.” Matee says.(“有些废物他们不能再处理了;他们不能回收。这就是我们得到的。”Matee说。)”可推断,她的最终目的就是帮助解决垃圾污染问题。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“However, if 29-year-old Nzambi Matee has her way the unsightly plastic heaps(堆)will soon be transformed into colorful bricks.(然而,如果29岁的Nzambi Matee按照她的想法去做的话,这些难看的塑料堆很快就会变成五颜六色的砖块。)”以及第二段“The materials engineer’s seeking to find a practical solution to control plastic pollution began in 2017. (这位材料工程师从2017年开始寻找控制塑料污染的实用解决方案。)”和最后一段“Matee is not nearly done. Her dream is to reduce the mountain of trash to just a hill by increasing production and expanding her offerings.(Matee还没有完成。她的梦想是通过增加产量和扩大供应,把垃圾山变成一座小山。)”可知,文章主要讲述了Matee的故事,她希望通过自己的努力解决塑料垃圾,提出将塑料垃圾制作成砖块的想法。所以“Nzambi Matee: Innovator in Solving Plastic Waste(Nzambi Matee:解决塑料垃圾的创新者)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。
C
The “little voice in your head” can be your worst critic and greatest supporter. It’s been known to help with directions, give advice, and even remind you to put potatoes on the grocery list.
But does everyone have an inner monologue(独白)? For a long time, it was assumed that an inner voice was simply part of being human. But it turns out, that’s not the case—not everyone processes life in words and sentences.
“By inner monologue, we mean that we can have private speech that’s addressed to ourselves and that is carried out without any sound,” said Helene Loevenbruck, a senior neurolinguistics researcher at CNRS.
With true inner speech, you almost “hear” your inner voice, she told Live Science. You’re aware of its tone and intonation (语调). For example, the voice can “sound” angry or worried.
This long-held assumption was first challenged in the late 1990s by Russell Hurlburt, a psychologist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Hurlburt studied participants’ inner speech by asking them to wear a beeper(传呼机). Whenever the device beeped, they had to write down what they were thinking or experiencing in their mind just before the sound.
Perhaps the participant wrote down, “I need to buy some bread.” He would then ask if that’s what they actually thought. “Or did you think ‘bread’? Or were you hungry?” Loevenbruck explained. After several meetings, participants got better at articulating (流利连贯地表达)their true thoughts, she said. Eventually, this method revealed that some people had inner speech every time the device beeped. But others had less inner speech than usual, and some didn’t have inner speech at all. They experienced images, sensations and emotions, but not a voice or words.
The lack of an inner monologue has been linked to a condition called aphantasia (心盲症)sometimes called “blindness of the mind’s eye.” People who experience aphantasia can’t mentally picture their bedroom or their mother’s face. Many times, those who don’t experience visualizations don’t experience clear inner speech, either, Loevenbruck noted.
8. What was previously assumed about the inner monologue?
A. It rarely existed in humans. B. It could help solve all kinds of problems.
C. It was something everyone was born with. D. It was mainly displayed in the form of writing.
9. What does Loevenbruck say about an inner monologue?
A. It lacks tone and intonation. B. It is delivered in public.
C. It can be heard by others. D. It can convey emotions.
10. What did Hurlburt do in his study?
A. He used a beeper to note down participants’ inner speech.
B. He required participants to describe their grocery lists.
C. He checked participants’ notes and asked about their true thoughts.
D. He placed something in participants’ heads to record their inner speech.
11. Why do some people never experience an inner monologue?
A. They suffer serious brain damage. B. They cannot distinguish what they see.
C. They misunderstand their true thoughts. D. They fail to mentally picture what they see.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。针对内心独白这一现象的认知进行了历史溯源,并通过实验证明这一现象并非所有人都会拥有这一事实。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“For a long time, it was assumed that an inner voice was simply part of being human. But it turns out, that’s not the case—not everyone processes life in words and sentences.(很长一段时间以来,人们认为内心的声音只是人类的一部分。但事实并非如此,不是每个人都用文字和句子来处理生活。)”可知,人们以前认为内心独白是人类天生具有的一部分,每个人都拥有。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“By inner monologue, we mean that we can have private speech that’s addressed to ourselves and that is carried out without any sound.(说到内心独白,我们的意思是我们可以对自己说私人的话,而且是没有声音的)”以及第四段中“You’re aware of its tone and intonation(语调). For example, the voice can “sound” angry or worried.( 你知道它的语气和语调。例如,声音可以“听起来”生气或担心。)”可知,内心独白并不会发出声音,是对自己说的私人的话。但它有语气语调,你能意识到它们的存在,感受到其中带有的或愤怒或焦急的情绪。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Hurlburt studied participants’ inner speech by asking them to wear a beeper(传呼机). Whenever the device beeped, they had to write down what they were thinking or experiencing in their mind just before the sound.( Hurlburt通过让参与者佩戴寻呼机来研究他们内心的话语。每当设备发出哔哔声时,他们必须写下在声音发出之前他们在脑海中所想或经历的事情。)”可知,Hurlbert用传呼机控制被试者,让其写下自己内心的想法,对其进行详细的询问,并加以判断分析。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The lack of an inner monologue has been linked to a condition called aphantasia(心盲症)sometimes called “blindness of the mind’s eye.” (缺乏内心独白与一种叫做心盲症的疾病有关,有时也被称为“心灵之眼失明”。)”以及“People who experience aphantasia can’t mentally picture their bedroom or their mother’s face. Many times, those who don’t experience visualizations don’t experience clear inner speech, either.(经历心盲的人无法在脑海中描绘自己的卧室或母亲的脸。很多时候,那些没有经历过视觉化的人也没有经历过清晰的内心语言,)”可知,之所以有人不能体验内心独白是与心盲症有关系,即他们无法在脑海中描绘出他们所看到的。故选D。
D
Using the power of artificial intelligence (AI), scientists have revealed new insights into the creation and destruction of mass extinction. Contrary to conventional knowledge, their study suggests that larger extinctions are not always a form of “creative destruction” that allows new organisms (生物体) to radiate and evolve. Instead, it suggests that mass extinction is rarely associated with new species of radiation.
Dr. Hoyal Cuthill, the lead study author from the University of Essex in the UK and the Tokyo Institute of Technology, said in a statement, “Some of the most challenging things to understand the history of life are the vast timelines involved and the number of species. New machine learning applications can help us understand this information in human-readable form. This means that we can, so to speak, hold the evolution of half a billion years in the palm of our hand and gain new insights from what we see.”
They concluded that mass extinction and later radiation were not connected as previously thought. Within 5 percent of the most significant periods of disruption (中断), AI detected “big five” mass extinctions, seven more mass extinctions, two mass extinction-radiation events, and 15 mass radiations. Most importantly, it discovers that massive radiation and extinction rarely occurred with each other, changing the view that greater extinction leads to a kind of deep cycle-like species radiation of nature. It appears that larger extinctions are certainly not the engine of evolutionary radiation. Take the Cambrian eruption for example and it was about 41 million years ago when a large group of animals first appeared on the record of the first fossil record and the dawn of a high mobile animal equipped with modern physical features.
This new study found that a handful of other notable explosions of biodiversity, including the Cambrian eruption, usually occurred at a time when they were largely isolated (隔离) from extinction. Dr. Nicholas Guttenberg, a study co-author from the Tokyo Institute of Technology explained, “Ecosystems are dynamic and you don't need anything to exist to allow something new to appear.”
12. What does the first paragraph serve as?
A. An explanation of artificial intelligence. B. A background of researchers’ study.
C. The reasons for creative destruction. D. The result of researchers’ new study.
13. What can we infer from Dr. Hoyal Cuthill’s words?
A. AI contributes a lot to the study of evolution.
B. Understanding the history of life is very difficult.
C. New AI machines learn applications better.
D. The result of researchers’ new study.
14. What is the researchers’ discovery?
A. Mass extinction is unlikely to cause evolutionary radiation.
B. The first animal with modern features occurred during eruption.
C. The volcanic eruption led to a mass extinction and radiation.
D. The idea of deep cycle-like species radiation has turned out true.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. New processes of biological evolution.
B. New view of radiation from natural species.
C. New understanding of mass extinction.
D. New outbreaks of biological populations.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了利用人工智能对大规模物种灭绝进行的研究情况及产生的新见解。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段后两句“Contrary to conventional knowledge, their study suggests that larger extinctions are not always a form of “creative destruction” that allows new organisms (生物体) to radiate and evolve. Instead, it suggests that mass extinction is rarely associated with new species of radiation.(与传统知识相反,他们的研究表明,更大规模的灭绝并不总是一种使得新生物辐射和进化的“创造性破坏”。相反,它表明,大灭绝很少与新的辐射物种有关)”可知,本段主要讲了这项研究的发现(结果)。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段后两句“New machine learning applications can help us understand this information in human-readable form. This means that we can, so to speak, hold the evolution of half a billion years in the palm of our hand and gain new insights from what we see.(新的机器学习应用程序可以帮助我们以人类可读的形式理解这些信息。这意味着,可以说,我们可以将5亿年的进化掌握在手中,并从我们所看到的东西中获得新的见解)”可知,科学家可以借助“New machine learning applications”即AI人工智能来掌握5亿年的进化情况,由此可推知,人工智能技术对进化的研究贡献很大。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Instead, it suggests that mass extinction is rarely associated with new species of radiation.(相反,它表明,大灭绝很少与新的辐射物种有关)”和倒数第二段中的“It appears that larger extinctions are certainly not the engine of evolutionary radiation. (看来,大规模的物种灭绝肯定不是进化辐射的导火索)”可知,大规模灭绝不可能引起进化辐射。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“Using the power of artificial intelligence (AI), scientists have revealed new insights into the creation and destruction of mass extinction.(利用人工智能的力量,科学家们对大规模灭绝的产生和破坏有了新的见解)”及后文的讲述可知,文章主要介绍了利用人工智能对大规模物种灭绝进行的研究情况及产生的新认识,C项“对大灭绝的新认识”符合文意。故选C。

参考范文2:
Dear Alex,
I’m writing to share with you an unforgettable “Art Comes to Campus” activity I took part in last week.
Organized by the Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, the event featured a live concert given by several professional musicians in our school auditorium. We were treated to a wide range of music, from classical pieces to traditional Chinese melodies. What made the concert especially engaging was the interactive session, where the musicians introduced various instruments, shared the stories behind the music, and even invited students to have a try on stage.
The experience was both enjoyable and inspiring. Not only did it bring music closer to us, but it also gave me a deeper appreciation of its unique charm. I sincerely hope such enriching activities will become a regular part of school life.
Yours,
Li Hua.

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。
Benjamin Belinski considered himself completely talentless while his friends were quite gifted: Kate could make anything using her folding techniques; Tommy created breath-taking beats on overturned plastic buckets (水桶); Olivia trained her small dog to do tricks. There were also four dancers, a gymnast, two bakers, six singers, and five artists in his grade. Every day his teacher Miss White asked if he had decided what to do for the upcoming talent show, and every day he reminded her that he had no talents.
“Nonsense, Benjamin,” Miss White insisted that he think of something. Benjamin, however, planned to be sick on the day of the show to avoid performing. He even asked his friends to cough on him if they got a cold.
Kate shook her head, gathering the group around him. “You must have a talent. Let’s make a list. What are you good at?” Benjamin joked that he was only good at eating and watching TV. Kate rolled her eyes, urging the others to come up with Benjamin’s talents.
Olivia immediately mentioned Benjamin’s remarkable bond with animals, as her dog loved him. Tommy praised his humour and suggested a comedy routine, while Kate reminded him of his excellent birthday parties and game nights. Olivia agreed, adding that he always brought everyone together to do fun things, and noted how boring the week was when he caught a cold. “Yeah, he’s like the glue that holds us together,” Tommy added. “Oh, great. Benjamin Belinski, Human Glue Gun,” Benjamin joked.
But their comments got him thinking. Lying in bed that night, Benjamin came up with a plan so exciting that it took him two hours to fall asleep. In the morning, he couldn’t wait to tell his teacher he wanted to be an organiser for the talent show. He rushed into the office and shared his vision. Miss White smiled warmly, recognising his idea as resourceful and original and true to who he was. It seemed Benjamin had found his unique talent.
注意:

(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。

Paragraph 1: With passion, Benjamin began to organize the show. He made a detailed performance schedule and designed colourful posters together with Kate. He helped Tommy test the sound of plastic buckets and checked every performer’s equipment carefully. When some kids felt nervous backstage, Benjamin cheered them up with funny jokes. He also prepared small prizes and arranged seats for the audience. Whenever minor disagreements popped up among performers, he smoothed things out patiently. Everyone was amazed at how well everything was going.
Paragraph 2: Finally the big day came. The hall was packed with teachers and students. One after another, performers put on fantastic shows. When all performances ended, Miss White stepped onto the stage and told the audience Benjamin’s special talent. The whole crowd burst into loud cheers. Benjamin stood there grinning. He came to understand that his ability to gather and connect people was a real and precious talent.

Kenya has been at the forefront(前沿)of the global war on plastic since the government banned single-use plastics in protected areas in June 2020. Unfortunately, the preventive measures have barely received attention. Hundreds of tons of industrial and consumer polymer waste continue to get dumped into landfills daily. However, if 29-year-old Nzambi Matee has her way the unsightly plastic heaps(堆)will soon be transformed into colorful bricks.
The materials engineer’s seeking to find a practical solution to control plastic pollution began in 2017. She quit her job and set up a small lab in her mother’s backyard. It took her nine months to produce the first brick and even longer to convince a partner to help build the machinery to make them. But the determined eco-entrepreneur was confident in her idea and did not give up.
She says, “I wanted to use my education to handle plastic waste pollution. But I was very clear that the solution had to be practical, sustainable, and affordable. The best way to do this was by channeling the waste into the construction space and finding the most efficient and affordable material to build homes.” Her company produces over 1,500 bricks a day. The pavers are made using a mix of plastic products that cannot be reprocessed or recycled.
The collected plastic is mixed with sand heated at very high temperatures, and compressed(压缩)into bricks that vary in color and thickness. The resulting product is stronger, lighter, and about 30 percent cheaper than concrete bricks. More importantly, it helps repurpose the lowest quality of plastic. “There is that waste they cannot process anymore; they cannot recycle. That is what we get.” Matee says.
Matee is not nearly done. Her dream is to reduce the mountain of trash to just a hill by increasing production and expanding her offerings. She says, “The more we recycle the plastic, the more we produce affordable housing, the more we created more employment for the youth.”
4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph imply?
A. Plastic waste hasn’t attracted enough attention. B. Matee’s idea has been widely accepted.
C. Colorful bricks are in huge demand. D. Matee’s method can be effective if adopted.
5. Which of the following can best describe Nzambi Matee?
A. Generous and ambitious. B. Confident and grateful
C. Creative and determined. D. Optimistic and modest.
6. What is Nzambi Matee’s final purpose in using a mix of plastic products?
A. To tackle plastic pollution. B. To support the government.
C. To create job opportunities. D. To build cheaper houses.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Kenya: Pioneer in Banning Plastic Single-use Plastics
B. Nzambi Matee: Innovator in Solving Plastic Waste
C. Mix of Plastic Products: A New Construction Material
D. Plastic Recycling: A Creative Solution to Pollution

The “little voice in your head” can be your worst critic and greatest supporter. It’s been known to help with directions, give advice, and even remind you to put potatoes on the grocery list.
But does everyone have an inner monologue(独白)? For a long time, it was assumed that an inner voice was simply part of being human. But it turns out, that’s not the case—not everyone processes life in words and sentences.
“By inner monologue, we mean that we can have private speech that’s addressed to ourselves and that is carried out without any sound,” said Helene Loevenbruck, a senior neurolinguistics researcher at CNRS.
With true inner speech, you almost “hear” your inner voice, she told Live Science. You’re aware of its tone and intonation (语调). For example, the voice can “sound” angry or worried.
This long-held assumption was first challenged in the late 1990s by Russell Hurlburt, a psychologist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Hurlburt studied participants’ inner speech by asking them to wear a beeper(传呼机). Whenever the device beeped, they had to write down what they were thinking or experiencing in their mind just before the sound.
Perhaps the participant wrote down, “I need to buy some bread.” He would then ask if that’s what they actually thought. “Or did you think ‘bread’? Or were you hungry?” Loevenbruck explained. After several meetings, participants got better at articulating (流利连贯地表达)their true thoughts, she said. Eventually, this method revealed that some people had inner speech every time the device beeped. But others had less inner speech than usual, and some didn’t have inner speech at all. They experienced images, sensations and emotions, but not a voice or words.
The lack of an inner monologue has been linked to a condition called aphantasia (心盲症)sometimes called “blindness of the mind’s eye.” People who experience aphantasia can’t mentally picture their bedroom or their mother’s face. Many times, those who don’t experience visualizations don’t experience clear inner speech, either, Loevenbruck noted.
8. What was previously assumed about the inner monologue?
A. It rarely existed in humans. B. It could help solve all kinds of problems.
C. It was something everyone was born with. D. It was mainly displayed in the form of writing.
9. What does Loevenbruck say about an inner monologue?
A. It lacks tone and intonation. B. It is delivered in public.
C. It can be heard by others. D. It can convey emotions.
10. What did Hurlburt do in his study?
A. He used a beeper to note down participants’ inner speech.
B. He required participants to describe their grocery lists.
C. He checked participants’ notes and asked about their true thoughts.
D. He placed something in participants’ heads to record their inner speech.
11. Why do some people never experience an inner monologue?
A. They suffer serious brain damage. B. They cannot distinguish what they see.
C. They misunderstand their true thoughts. D. They fail to mentally picture what they see.
D
Using the power of artificial intelligence (AI), scientists have revealed new insights into the creation and destruction of mass extinction. Contrary to conventional knowledge, their study suggests that larger extinctions are not always a form of “creative destruction” that allows new organisms (生物体) to radiate and evolve. Instead, it suggests that mass extinction is rarely associated with new species of radiation.
Dr. Hoyal Cuthill, the lead study author from the University of Essex in the UK and the Tokyo Institute of Technology, said in a statement, “Some of the most challenging things to understand the history of life are the vast timelines involved and the number of species. New machine learning applications can help us understand this information in human-readable form. This means that we can, so to speak, hold the evolution of half a billion years in the palm of our hand and gain new insights from what we see.”
They concluded that mass extinction and later radiation were not connected as previously thought. Within 5 percent of the most significant periods of disruption (中断), AI detected “big five” mass extinctions, seven more mass extinctions, two mass extinction-radiation events, and 15 mass radiations. Most importantly, it discovers that massive radiation and extinction rarely occurred with each other, changing the view that greater extinction leads to a kind of deep cycle-like species radiation of nature. It appears that larger extinctions are certainly not the engine of evolutionary radiation. Take the Cambrian eruption for example and it was about 41 million years ago when a large group of animals first appeared on the record of the first fossil record and the dawn of a high mobile animal equipped with modern physical features.
This new study found that a handful of other notable explosions of biodiversity, including the Cambrian eruption, usually occurred at a time when they were largely isolated (隔离) from extinction. Dr. Nicholas Guttenberg, a study co-author from the Tokyo Institute of Technology explained, “Ecosystems are dynamic and you don't need anything to exist to allow something new to appear.”
12. What does the first paragraph serve as?
A. An explanation of artificial intelligence. B. A background of researchers’ study.
C. The reasons for creative destruction. D. The result of researchers’ new study.
13. What can we infer from Dr. Hoyal Cuthill’s words?
A. AI contributes a lot to the study of evolution.
B. Understanding the history of life is very difficult.
C. New AI machines learn applications better.
D. The result of researchers’ new study.
14. What is the researchers’ discovery?
A. Mass extinction is unlikely to cause evolutionary radiation.
B. The first animal with modern features occurred during eruption.
C. The volcanic eruption led to a mass extinction and radiation.
D. The idea of deep cycle-like species radiation has turned out true.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. New processes of biological evolution.
B. New view of radiation from natural species.
C. New understanding of mass extinction.
D. New outbreaks of biological populations.

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。
Benjamin Belinski considered himself completely talentless while his friends were quite gifted: Kate could make anything using her folding techniques; Tommy created breath-taking beats on overturned plastic buckets (水桶); Olivia trained her small dog to do tricks. There were also four dancers, a gymnast, two bakers, six singers, and five artists in his grade. Every day his teacher Miss White asked if he had decided what to do for the upcoming talent show, and every day he reminded her that he had no talents.
“Nonsense, Benjamin,” Miss White insisted that he think of something. Benjamin, however, planned to be sick on the day of the show to avoid performing. He even asked his friends to cough on him if they got a cold.
Kate shook her head, gathering the group around him. “You must have a talent. Let’s make a list. What are you good at?” Benjamin joked that he was only good at eating and watching TV. Kate rolled her eyes, urging the others to come up with Benjamin’s talents.
Olivia immediately mentioned Benjamin’s remarkable bond with animals, as her dog loved him. Tommy praised his humour and suggested a comedy routine, while Kate reminded him of his excellent birthday parties and game nights. Olivia agreed, adding that he always brought everyone together to do fun things, and noted how boring the week was when he caught a cold. “Yeah, he’s like the glue that holds us together,” Tommy added. “Oh, great. Benjamin Belinski, Human Glue Gun,” Benjamin joked.
But their comments got him thinking. Lying in bed that night, Benjamin came up with a plan so exciting that it took him two hours to fall asleep. In the morning, he couldn’t wait to tell his teacher he wanted to be an organiser for the talent show. He rushed into the office and shared his vision. Miss White smiled warmly, recognising his idea as resourceful and original and true to who he was. It seemed Benjamin had found his unique talent.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: With passion, Benjamin began to organize the show.
