It has been four years since Grandma Joy told her grandson that she had never seen the most beautiful views of America. Since then, they had gone on many cross-country trips.
Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet (兽医) school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits.
As he was telling his grandma stories of his travels, however, he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains. Ryan then asked his grandmother if she would like to go hiking with him. Needless to say, she was more than happy to agree.
They have since visited 29 different national parks across America — from the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado to the Acadia National Park in Maine. Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly improved his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and is thankful to be alive, has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.”
“I love my grandma so much, and the time being with my grandma just really gave me a lot of peace when she passed away. I can go back to these places, feel her spirit, and feel connected to her,” he added.
Ryan has posted all of their trips on a website. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.
4. Why did Brad Ryan visit his grandma in 2015?
A. To cheer himself up. B. To please his grandma.
C. To take his grandma to travel. D. To share his travelling experiences.
5. How did Brad Ryan feel when he heard his grandma had never seen the ocean or mountains?
A. Shocked. B. Sad. C. Doubtful. D. Excited.
6. What influence did Brad Ryan’s grandma have on him?
A. She made him live a better life.
B. She helped him find his life goal.
C. She told him to pay more attention to study.
D. She gave him a lot of encouragement.
7. What is Brad Ryan’s purpose of posting their trips online?
A. To advise young people to take a trip.
B. To share his joy of travelling with his friends.
C. To encourage the young to spend time with their elders.
D. To show young people what they can learn in vet schools.
C
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.
8. What is the purpose of mentioning the discovery in the 1960s?
A. To show the success of protecting the environment.
B. To explain the difficulty of saving humpback whales.
C. To stress the value of studying animal communication.
D. To introduce the challenge of understanding whale language.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Scientists develop machine learning. B. Scientists discover a new whale sound.
C. AI creates a unique type of musical note. D. AI unlocks the secrets of animal language.
D
There are billions of people on this planet, and many of us love to eat meat. In 2024 alone, the average American ate more than 100kg of red meat, according to a report from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). At the same time, the environmental influence caused by meat consumption (消耗) — waste, animal treatment, health issues and even the greenhouse gas effects — has resulted in a number of startups (新兴企业) looking for ways to fill our growing need for meat. But can the need be filled in an eco-friendly and affordable way?
A lot of companies are not only optimistic but are working to make this happen sooner. All of these companies harvest cells from animals and grow them in a lab. For example, San Francisco-based Memphis Meats is developing cell-based meat in its laboratories by making fat and muscle cells without requiring any animals. And don’t worry if you’re not a meat lover. Startups such as Jet Eat, are producing meats that are plant-based, using natural elements while still keeping taste.
As you can imagine, there are plenty of problems in the industry. Educating the public is a big one. Another heated argument is the labeling of the products. Meat industry trade groups have been pressing the USDA to label these meats as “imitation products”.
Many of us have concerns about the challenges facing future generations as our global population increases and the earth’s natural resources decrease. The good news is that there are plenty of companies around the world — like those producing lab-grown meats — who are working to solve some of these problems and make a few bucks in the process.
12. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A. Protecting the meat industry. B. Encouraging a healthy lifestyle.
C. Reducing meat consumption gradually. D. Meeting human’s new need for meat in an eco-friendly way.
13. What kind of meat does Jet Eat produce?
A. It looks like plants completely. B. It is harvested directly from animals.
C. It tastes like real meat. D. It contains fat and muscle cells.
14. According to the passage, how can people tell the lab-grown meat?
A. By checking the label. B. By receiving public education.
C. By observing it closely. D. By calling the USDA.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Strange jobs done by new startups. B. Lab-grown meat ready to feed the world.
C. Effective ways used when shopping. D. The existing trouble faced by humans.

【解析】
【导语】文章是一则模型火箭促销广告,介绍了四款不同型号火箭的价格、飞行高度及特点,旨在吸引爱好者购买,激发其对航天探索的兴趣。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Estes NASA SLS中“this 1:200 scale model will reach a height of 350 feet and it comes pre-finished with a parachute(这个1:200比例的模型飞行高度可达350英尺,为成品且配有降落伞)”可知,Estes NASA SLS飞行高达350英尺,以及Estes Long Ranger中“Estes Long Ranger can soar up to 1,100 feet with the right power system fitted(Estes Long Ranger在配备合适的动力系统后,可飞行高达1,100英尺。)”可知,Estes Long Ranger可高达1,100 英尺;以及Estes Mini Arcas中“Estes Mini Arcas is capable of hitting 550 feet,( Estes Mini射程可达550英尺,)”可知,Estes Mini射程可达到550英尺,以及Estes Blue Origin New Shepard中“It comes with its own parachute and will reach a height of 700 feet.(它自带降落伞,可飞行至700英尺的高度。)” Estes Blue Origin New Shepard可飞行至700 英尺。由此比较可知,Estes Long Ranger飞得最高。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Estes Mini Arcas部分中的价格信息“US30 now US12”可知,该火箭原价为30美元,现价为12美元。因此现在购买可以节省30 - 12 = 18美元。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段末尾的“So, to help you get ahead, we are offering you the best model rocket deals.(因此,为了让各位爱好者快人一步体验模型火箭的乐趣,我们为您提供了最优惠的模型火箭促销活动。)”以及下文对四款火箭价格、性能的具体介绍可知,这是一篇促销广告,主要目的是推销模型火箭产品。

Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly improved his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and is thankful to be alive, has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.”
“I love my grandma so much, and the time being with my grandma just really gave me a lot of peace when she passed away. I can go back to these places, feel her spirit, and feel connected to her,” he added.
Ryan has posted all of their trips on a website. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.

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.
8. What is the purpose of mentioning the discovery in the 1960s?
A. To show the success of protecting the environment.
B. To explain the difficulty of saving humpback whales.
C. To stress the value of studying animal communication.
D. To introduce the challenge of understanding whale language.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Scientists develop machine learning. B. Scientists discover a new whale sound.
C. AI creates a unique type of musical note. D. AI unlocks the secrets of animal language.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D

There are billions of people on this planet, and many of us love to eat meat. In 2024 alone, the average American ate more than 100kg of red meat, according to a report from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). At the same time, the environmental influence caused by meat consumption (消耗) — waste, animal treatment, health issues and even the greenhouse gas effects — has resulted in a number of startups (新兴企业) looking for ways to fill our growing need for meat. But can the need be filled in an eco-friendly and affordable way?
A lot of companies are not only optimistic but are working to make this happen sooner. All of these companies harvest cells from animals and grow them in a lab. For example, San Francisco-based Memphis Meats is developing cell-based meat in its laboratories by making fat and muscle cells without requiring any animals. And don’t worry if you’re not a meat lover. Startups such as Jet Eat, are producing meats that are plant-based, using natural elements while still keeping taste.
As you can imagine, there are plenty of problems in the industry. Educating the public is a big one. Another heated argument is the labeling of the products. Meat industry trade groups have been pressing the USDA to label these meats as “imitation products”.
Many of us have concerns about the challenges facing future generations as our global population increases and the earth’s natural resources decrease. The good news is that there are plenty of companies around the world — like those producing lab-grown meats — who are working to solve some of these problems and make a few bucks in the process.
12. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A. Protecting the meat industry. B. Encouraging a healthy lifestyle.
C. Reducing meat consumption gradually. D. Meeting human’s new need for meat in an eco-friendly way.
13. What kind of meat does Jet Eat produce?
A. It looks like plants completely. B. It is harvested directly from animals.
C. It tastes like real meat. D. It contains fat and muscle cells.
14. According to the passage, how can people tell the lab-grown meat?
A. By checking the label. B. By receiving public education.
C. By observing it closely. D. By calling the USDA.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Strange jobs done by new startups. B. Lab-grown meat ready to feed the world.
C. Effective ways used when shopping. D. The existing trouble faced by humans.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新兴企业探索环保实惠的肉类供应方式。

词句猜测题。根据第一段的“But can the need be filled in an eco-friendly and affordable way?(但这种需求能否以环保且经济实惠的方式得到满足呢?)”以及第二段“A lot of companies are not only optimistic but are working to make this happen sooner. All of these companies harvest cells from animals and grow them in a lab.(许多公司不仅态度积极,而且还正在努力加快这一进程。这些公司都从动物身上提取细胞,并在实验室中进行培养)”可知,this指代前文提到的“以环保且经济的方式满足人类对肉类日益增长的需求”这一目标,即“满足人类对肉类的新需求”。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“And don’t worry if you’re not a meat lover. Startups such as Jet Eat, are producing meats that are plant-based, using natural elements while still keeping taste.(而且,即便你不是肉类爱好者也没关系。像“Jet Eat”这样的初创企业正在生产以植物为原料的肉类,它们利用天然成分来保证口感的同时还能保持肉类的风味)”可知,Jet Eat生产的肉是植物性的,但仍然保持了味道,即它尝起来像真正的肉。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Another heated argument is the labeling of the products. Meat industry trade groups have been pressing the USDA to label these meats as “imitation products”.(另一场激烈的争论在于产品的标注问题。肉类行业组织一直在向美国农业部施压,要求将这些肉类标注为“仿制品”)”可知,人们可以通过查看标签来辨别实验室培育的肉。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“There are billions of people on this planet, and many of us love to eat meat. In 2024 alone, the average American ate more than 100kg of red meat, according to a report from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). At the same time, the environmental influence caused by meat consumption— waste, animal treatment, health issues and even the greenhouse gas effects — has resulted in a number of startups looking for ways to fill our growing need for meat.(这个星球上生活着数十亿人口,其中许多人都爱吃肉。据美国农业部的一份报告显示,仅2024年一年,美国人平均每人食用的红肉就超过了100千克。与此同时,肉类消费所引发的环境影响 —— 包括废弃物污染、动物饲养方式、健康隐患乃至温室气体排放效应等问题 —— 促使许多新兴企业开始探寻能够满足人类日益增长的肉类需求的新途径)”以及文章主要介绍了由于人们对肉类的需求不断增长,一些新兴企业正在寻找满足这种需求的方法,其中一些公司正在实验室里培育肉类,文章还讨论了这种实验室培育的肉类面临的问题和挑战。因此,文章的主要内容是实验室培育的肉类准备满足世界的需求。故选B。
