26、Bertie knew there was something in the wind. His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie’s feet, when Father cleared his throat and began, “You’ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We’ve found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England.”

His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. “But the lion,” he cried, “What about the lion?”

“I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you,” his father said. Looking across at Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.

“No! You can’t send him to a circus!” said Bertie. “He’ll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will come to see him and laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal would!” But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.

Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he crept downstairs in his pyjamas, took down his father’s rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion’s neck. The time had come. “Be wild now,” he whispered. “You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life I’ll think of you, I promise I will.” He buried his head in the lion’s neck. Then, Bertie clambered down off the hill and walked away.

When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.

There was only one thing left to do. Tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion’s head.

27、   Artificial intelligence (AI) （人工智能）is the ability of a computer program or a machine to think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers "smart". John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with the name "artificial intelligence" in 1955. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as we do.

An unusual goal of AI research is to create computer programs that can learn, solve problems, and think logically（逻辑地）. At present we use the term Al for successfully understanding human speech, recognizing（识别）human faces, operating self-driving cars and competing in some game systems like Chess and AlphGo（阿尔法狗）. Some people also consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. Professor Stephen Hawking, a well-known British scientist, was not for this kind of technology.

Math is the basic language of AI. If we raise the standard in the learning of math, our students will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the future. We not only want bright students, but also need to attract average students and give them the math skills which are needed to change them into AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.

Scientists hope to create creative and emotional AI which can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this fascinating field.

【1】From Paragraph 1, we know that_________.

A．all problems can be solved by AI

B．machines with AI can think and learn

C．AI has been around for only 60 years.

D．AI works in the same way as humans

【2】The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to（指的是）_________.

A．Chess

B．AlphaGo

C．the danger

D．AI

【3】According to the writer and the following school report, which student will most probably become a successful AI designer?

School Report

A．Mike.

B．Peter.

C．Amy.

D．Cathy.

【4】Paragraph 4 mainly tells us the scientists’ ________ about AI.

A．wishes

B．worries

C．feelings

D．discoveries

28、   As long as Rishi Sharma can remember, his heroes have been the U. S. veterans (老兵) who fought for peace during the Second World War (WW Ⅱ). Even the youngest of them are now in their 90s. They are dying each day. The Southern California teenager wants to record their memories as soon as possible.

Since childhood，Sharma has been attracted by what veterans did during WW Ⅱ. He read every book he could find. But it wasn’t until his junior year at high school that he decided to meet them.

He came across the name Lyle Bouck, one of the heroes, as he read the historian Stephen Ambrose's book Citizen Soldiers. He looked up the hero’s phone number and called him. They talked very long on the phone. That was when the teen had an epiphany (顿悟) and he began to search for other veterans and went to visit them.

He spent an afternoon in the living room of William R. Hahn of Los Angeles, where Sharma talked with the 93-year-old veteran for hours. He used his camera to record the veteran’s memories. He listened very carefully as Hahn told how he received the Silver Star for bravery by charging (冲锋) through gunfire on Easter Sunday in 1945. “I want people to realize that we have such a limited time with these men who fought for the world peace，” Sharma said. “Let’s try to learn as much as we can from them and make them feel like what they have done is worth it.”

Soon Sharma rode his bike to every nursing home nearby. After interviewing every soldier there, he turned to veterans halls, and then the Internet. Borrowing his parents’ car, he travelled to Oregon, and then back down the California coast, interviewing still more people. He had plans to travel to Arizona and other states. He made a DVD of every interview and gave it to the veterans. Some have passed on copies to the WW Ⅱ museum.

【1】What does Sharma think of his task in paragraph 1?

A.It takes much time. B.It's easy to achieve.

C.It's in an emergency. D.It needs enough energy.

【2】What first encouraged Sharma to find and interview more WW Ⅱ veterans?

A.Visiting Lyle Bouck. B.Reading the historian’s book.

C.Listening to Stephen Ambrose. D.Chatting with Lyle Bouck on the phone.

【3】Why did Sharma want to visit the WW U veterans?

A.To record their memories of the war. B.To prepare for his new book.

C.To help them live better. D.To earn money.

【4】Which is the best title for the text?

A.Stories about WW Ⅱ Veterans

B.WW Ⅱ Veterans Live a Poor Life

C.A Teen Makes Efforts to Find WW Ⅱ Veterans

D.A Teen Loves Reading Stories of WW Ⅱ Veterans

29、As Covid-19 spread through the United States in the spring of 2020, previously busy cities fell silent. A new study shows that the dip in noise in the early months of the pandemic (大流行病) led to an increased abundance of birds in cities.

The flock to cities ranged “from birds like hawks and eagles all the way down to small songbirds and even hummingbirds” says Michael Schrimpf, study co-author and postdoctoral flow at the University of Manitoba's Natural Resources Institute

To see if and how birds were using now-quiet cities differently, the team of researchers analyzed more than 4.3 million bird observations of more than 80 bird species recorded on the community science app eBird. They looked at more than three years of observations taken by experienced birders before and through the first few months of the pandemic.

Scientists found significant changes in birds' migration patterns and use of urban habitats (栖息地)，like bravely getting closer to usually-noisy areas like roads and airports. It was also revealed that white-crowned sparrows adapted their tune when San Francisco streets fell quiet. Bird abundance increased in cities overall, especially during spring and fall migration.

North America has lost almost a third of its birds in recent decades due to a combination of factors, including climate change, predation (捕食) by stray cats, and habitat loss, so any information scientists can obtain about how to make urban environments more bird-friendly is significant. The study's authors note that one of the most remarkable findings is that many different birds benefited from a reduction in noise, which doesn't have to be limited to pandemic lockdowns.

“There is an opportunity to adjust how we live, to slow down,” says Schrimpf. “We hope that it might be a lesson for us that we can take away in a post-pandemic world.”

【1】What does the underlined word “dip” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．Decrease.

B．Increase.

C．Effect.

D．Change.

【2】How did the researchers conduct the research?

A．By observing varieties of birds in nature.

B．By doing an experiment on different kinds of birds.

C．By analyzing bird observations recorded by birders.

D．By studying past researches on bird behavior.

【3】What do the findings of the study indicate?

A．All birds benefited from the reduction in noise.

B．Some birds sang differently in a quieter environment.

C．Birds would often go to noisy areas like roads and airport.

D．The overall bird population increased worldwide during the pandemic

【4】What message does the author want to convey in his article?

A．People should slow down 1o appreciate birds in nature.

B．People should be banned from any activities harmful to nature

C．People should adjust her lifestyle to stay safe during the pandemic.

D．People should reduce noise to create a better environment for birds.

31、在空格处填入一个恰当的单词，答案必须和课文原文一样。

Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Tibet, Xinjiang and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being 【1】, illegally, for their valuable fur.

My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Na- ture Reserve. The 【2】 is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred and protecting the wildlife is a way of life, “We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we’re trying to 【3】 ourselves.”

The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The 【4】 dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make 【5】. Their habitats were becoming 【6】 as new roads and railways were built.

In order to save this species from extinction, the Chinese government placed it under national protection.
