Last week in Hamburg, Germany, something magical appeared along a bridge over Alster Lake — many tiny snowmen lined up like a cheerful winter parade (阅兵). Made by locals and passers-by, the little snowy works soon became a lovely    1     . It made everyone who crossed the bridge stop to take photos.

Then someone tried to spoil (破坏) it. A man was caught on camera    2     the snowmen one by one. The    3     was posted online, leaving people disappointed — but not for long. Instead of anger, the community dealt with it    4     . One person suggested, “Let’s make snowmen together tomorrow at 12!” The message    5     many people. The next day, a crowd showed up.

As the sun set, laughter filled the bridge. Everyone felt     7     .

第一节 阅读理解（共 15 小题，每小题 1.5 分，满分 22.5 分）

阅读下列材料，从下面每题的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案。

A

Scientists tell how healthy rainforests are by listening to the sounds of their wildlife. A healthy forest is alive with animal calls and birdsong but an unhealthy forest is much quieter. However, that is a big job. Researchers can make thousands of hours of recordings but then someone has to listen to them all and pick out the different animal and bird calls.

What if that someone is an AI though? Scientists are using AI technology to help with the task. Through the new Forest Listeners web experiment, scientists want people around the world—including you—to help too.

The site gets you to move around a virtual (虚拟的) forest, listening for wildlife. When you find a new species, you listen to its song until you can remember it. The next step is to listen to real forest recordings (there are more than 1.2 million of them), and decide for each one whether you can tell that animal call or not, or if you’re not sure.

The answers people give are then used to train AI to tell what animals they are by their sounds. Scientists say that the project helps them process a huge number of recordings. Without AI, it would take many years to study them all. “Every sound tagged (加标记的) by a forest listener helps train our AI models,” the scientists said. “This group effort provides us with valuable information, allowing us to find out small changes in species’ presence and behavior. These are important signs for a healthy forest.”

(   ) 11. What is a healthy rainforest according to the text?

   A. A very quiet forest.

   B. A forest with many new species.

   C. A forest full of wildlife sounds.

   D. A forest with tall and green trees.

(   ) 12. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in Paragraph 1?

   C. Checking the health of forests by listening.

   D. Training AI to recognize different species.

(   ) 13. What is the right order of the experiment?

   a. Give information to train AI.

   b. Listen for wildlife in a virtual forest.

   c. Listen to real forests and tag each sound.

   A. a-b-c

   B. b-c-a

   C. c-a-b

   D. b-a-c

(   ) 14. How does AI help the scientists?

   A. By dealing with a large number of recordings quickly.

   B. By remembering new species’ sounds perfectly.

   C. By inviting more people to care for forests.

   D. By collecting sounds from the rainforest directly.

(   ) 15. What is the main idea of the text?

   A. Forests are in great danger now.

   B. Helping forests is helping humans.

   C. Humans and AI work together to protect forests.

   D. AI is better than humans at telling animal sounds.

B

It was Tuesday night. On the balcony of my tenth-floor apartment, I looked at the sky curiously, hoping to see a shooting star. “Shooting stars are lucky,” Grandma always said.

“Will I see a shooting star tonight, Grandma?” I asked.

“There are too many lights tonight, Judy,” Grandma said. “Time for bed and I hear dreams calling.” Then, she kissed my hair and put me to bed.

When I woke up the next morning, I smelt buttermilk biscuits. My favourite! “Your shooting stars came for breakfast,” Grandma smiled. In her hands was a plate of star-shaped biscuits, each with a lovely little tail. My eyes went wide, and then they filled with something shining.

When I got home from school that afternoon, Grandma was cooking in the kitchen. I told her something about school. “Sarah saw a rainbow on her way to school. Ben got the last cookie from the dining hall... Will I see a shooting star tonight?” I asked again, still full of hope.

“The night isn’t over yet. Go to the balcony and wait,” Grandma smiled softly.

After dinner, I couldn’t find Grandma anywhere. I went to the balcony alone, staring at the dark sky and still hoping to see a shooting star.

Suddenly, the sky was lit up. I nearly shouted out. A shooting star? But then—boom—gold sparks danced above me and fell slowly. It was fireworks! Before I could catch my breath, another followed, a shining blue, then a red, painting the quiet night with bright colours.

My heart jumped with joy and wonder. When I turned around, I saw Grandma standing in the doorway, with an empty firework box in her left hand. “Do you like the shooting stars tonight?” she smiled.

At that very moment, I realized that I may not be “lucky” in the traditional way, but I know I am truly lucky.

(   ) 17. Which of the following best describes the changes in Judy’s feelings throughout the story?

    A. Curious → Disappointed → Amazed → Grateful

    B. Hopeful → Upset → Excited → Proud

    C. Hopeful → Angry → Surprised → Satisfied

    D. Curious → Bored → Shocked → Lucky

(   ) 18. Why does the writer mention Grandma's "empty firework box" in Paragraph 9?

    A. To show that Grandma liked playing with fireworks in her free time.

    B. To explain where the loud noise in the dark sky came from.

    C. To tell the readers the real reason behind the "shooting stars".

D. To remind Judy that she should clean up the balcony after the show.

(   ) 19. Which is Judy’s understanding of “lucky” at the end of the story?

    A. She realizes that true luck comes from the magical power of nature.

    B. She believes that only people who can see real shooting stars are lucky.

    C. She understands that being loved and cared for by her family is true luck.
