So while I was taking pictures, Maia, wanting to prove her 18 as anassistant, began interviewing a couple in the same ship. Unable to spell words, she 19 their answers in crayon. Then when we sat together at lunch, my daughter 20 the kids’ meal and requested the salmon (三文鱼). She explained that kids’ meals might not always be 21 during travel, so her food 22 was “try everything.” That trip proved Maia as such an easy travel 23 .When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how 24 fearless she was when we dived along a reef(礁石). And I was 25 by how she cleverly worked out that she could order chocolate cake from room 26 alone. But it was on the 27 home, when my glued-to-my-arm kid said it was okay that the airline didn’t 28 us together, that I realized how much travel was 29 her. It helped her become more 30 .As Mai a grew older, travel continued to 31 her life. We explored the Amazon rainforest, where she learned the importance of 32 our planet. We visited famous 33 in China , where she developed a deep appreciation in its rich cultures and long history. And we 34 at an orphanage (孤儿院) in Africa, where she learned the meaning of love and care.Travel has also helped Maia develop important life 35 such as independence, problem-solving, and communication.

Here are some steps to follow when preparing for the perfect video interview.Step 1: Start with the basicsBefore your interview, find out what platform or application the school uses for video interviews, and make sure that you know how to operate it.You need to set up a clear and focused interview environment. You also need a strong internet connection.Step 2: Get prepped (做好准备)Once the interview begins, resist the urge to watch yourself, and make sure you are looking at the camera as much as possible. Try to anticipate the questions that they will ask you. Interview questions all boil down to three basic categories:Tell us about yourself.What do you bring to our program/why should we admit you?Do you have any questions about the school?Before the interview, prepare at least two to three minutes on each of these topics.Step 3: PracticePractice your answers with a friend or mentor. Get them to ask you questions and answerthem over video. If possible, work with a person who is fluent in the language of your interviewers, and get them to give you notes and comments about pronunciation or presentation.Step 4: Don’t just interview... converseInterviews are about getting to know you as a person and how well you can interact with others. Though you may have extensive notes, try to act natural - do not read directly from any prepared statements, and don’t memorize answers to repeat. Listening is just as critical as speaking in this situation, too. Make sure you understand the question that is posed to you and ask an interviewer to repeat it or expand upon it if you feel you are confused.36.In preparing for the perfect video interview, you need to ________.A.have quick access to the Internet B.know how to operate the interviewC.fill out an application on the platform D.find a suitable environment for the interview 37.Once the interview begins, what should you keep in mind?A.Keeping quiet unless asked to talk.B.Making eye contact as much as possible.C.Expecting the questions that are often asked.D.Preparing answers on some of thequestions.38.Which of the following is TRUE about Step 3?A.You should be fluent in the language of your interviewers.B.Practicing with your friend over the phone may be helpful.C.Practicing in advance may help improve your performance.D.Notes and comments from the interviewers are practical.39.When doing an interview, you ________.A.are supposed to memorize answers to repeat B.must ask the interviewers to explain the questionsC.can read prepared statements as naturally as you can D.should attach equalimportance to listening as speaking40.Who is probably the author of the passage?A.An expert in university admissions.B.A visitor to different universities abroad.C.An editor in charge of a travel magazine.D.A student applying for universities overseas.When Milla Bizzot to finished her first 24-hour obstacle race, she went shoulder to shoulderwith experienced competitors, ran 36 miles and completed hundreds of obstacles, all at the age of 9.“There are some double takes on the course, but she has been an inspiration to people who see her out there competing like that,” said Christian Bizzotto, Milla’s father and coach, who was proud of her. Milla is very fit for her age, and she proved it in completing the BattleFrog Xtreme 24-hour race in Miami.Milla also used the event to inspire other kids to be active, and show how competing in obstacle racing has helped her deal with being bullied at school. “We wanted to make her feel more empowered and make her feel that she wasn’t weak, and that changed her whole mindset,” her father said.In preparing for the 24-hour race, Milla trained 20 hours a week for 90 days, doing exercise in the gym for 4 hours every day after school.“The reactions are 90 percent good, but some are totally negative,” Christian said. “I’ve had people message me on Facebook saying I’m a child abuser, and that no 9-year-old should be doing a 24-hour race. But her own doctors were there supporting her and cheering her on. I want her to be a kid, and this is just something she really wants to do.”CrossFit and obstacle course racing have also helped Christian turn around his life. He got injured in a motorcycle accident. After he was finally able to get around without using a walker, he began his recovery by going for walks on the beach with Milla, and then began running every day.Next, he joined a CrossFit gym and enjoyed it so much that he opened his own gym to train others for events like CrossFit, BattleFrog and Spartan races. “I just wanted to create a hero that Milla could look up to,” he said.Next up for Milla is an invitation-only “Athletes Race”. Competitors also have to raise $5,000 for charity.41.Christian Bizzotto, Milla’s father and coach, ______.A.was very strict with MillaB.was satisfied with what Milla didC.lost his legs in a motorcycle accidentD.threw his walker with the help of CrossFit42.What can we learn about Milla?A.She was always bullied by her schoolmates.B.She began to run because she was physically weak.C.Her father wanted her to get benefit from the obstacle race.D.She became more confident after the 24-hour obstacle race.43.During her training for the 24-hour obstacle race, Milla most probably _________.A.had two days’ rest every weekB.was always running with her fatherC.spent over 4 hours every day of a weekD.took a hit because her father was injured44.The reactions Christian got on the Internet ______.A.told us that Milla had a hard childhoodB.showed that he was a real abuserC.encouraged Milla to challenge more difficult runsD.were mixed but what Milla did was supported by her doctors45.What Christian did after his injury was mainly to ______.A.make money to open a gymB.set a good example to MillaC.make money to raise his familyD.get recovered as soon as possibleSeveral new species of tropical birds have been found on remote islands in Indonesia. Researchers have discerned the Wakatobi sunbird, a new species that lives on the small Wakatobi Islands, located in central Indonesia. They also studied olive-backed (橄榄背的) sunbirds and black sunbirds and found that some of the birds they examined actually belonged to some previously unrecognized species.The new Wakatobi sunbird looks similar to the olive-backed sunbird, but has darker feathers, shorter wings, and a higher-toned song. Zoologists believe that because it has such short wings, it never spread beyond the tiny islands. The olive-backed sunbird, however, can fly long distances, so it was able to inhabit other locations.These discoveries were part of a long-time cooperation between scientists at Trinity College Dublin and Universitas Halu Oleo in Sulawesi, Indonesia.“Specifically, we became interested in the Wakatobi sunbird because of the work of Ernst Hartert, a German bird expert active at the beginning of the 20th century,” Fionn O Marcaigh, first author on the paper, says. “He described the Wakatobi sunbird as a population with distinctive dark feathers, but he and the rest of the scientific community eventually decided that it was only a subspecies of the widespread olive-backed sunbird. We were eager to use modern methods to put this to the test.”For their research, scientists used DNA, recordings of songs and body measurement analysis to compare the sunbirds they studied, “We used a system called integrative taxonomy, which combines data on a number of aspects of the birds, including their songs, feathers, and body structures,” O Marcaigh says. “We recorded their songs using digital recorders, measured live birds caught and released by licensed netters, and used computational statistics to analyze the differences.” The scientists also obtained genetic samples which they analyzed in the lab and they found that the patterns they found were also reflected in the birds’ DNA.“I’m excited that we’ve added to the list of known species from this wonderful part of the world,” O Marcaigh says.46.What does the underlined word “discerned” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Overestimated.B.Imagined.C.Overlooked.D.Identified. 47.How does the Wakatobi sunbird differ from the olive-backed sunbird?A.It has colorful wings.B.It flies shorter distances.C.It lives throughout Indonesia.D.It sings more beautiful songs.48.What can we know about Ernst Hartert?A.He is a scientist from Universitas Halu Oleo.B.He still takes an active part in bird research.C.He is the first scientist to use DNA to study birds.D.He inspired the researchers’ interest in the Wakatobi sunbird.49.Why did O Marcaigh study the Wakatobi sunbird?A.To determine its category.B.To investigate its habitat and behavior.C.To analyze its genetic makeup.D.To continue the study of Ernst Hartert. 50.Which aspect of the research does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A.Its methods.B.Its theories.C.Its impact.D.Its background.To put it simply, stress can be the father of growth, while a crisis can be the mother of innovation. The notion that great good can emerge from great adversity (逆境) is as old as the legend of the great phoenix (凤凰), who not only arises but soars to new heights from its own ashes.In 1598, William Shakespeare penned the play As You Like It. One of the most famous lines from that play is spoken in Act 2 Scene 1 by Duke Senior, “Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad (癞蛤蟆), ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.” Even 500 years ago, the potential value of adversity was recognized, not by a great healer, but by a great playwright. Can this really be the case?Fast-forward to the great silent film star Mary Pickford. She was called the most popular actress in the world in the 1910s and 1920s. Failing to continue acting with the advent of the “talkies”(movies with recorded sound), she co-founded the film company United Artists. Shifting her talents to producing and directing, she became the most powerful woman in the entertainment industry. She once noted, “You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.”Rather than fear and try to avoid adversity, perhaps we should accept the inevitability (必然) of adversity and prepare for it. Indeed, positive things can emerge from adversity.Adversity reveals true opportunities for those preparing to take advantage. Dr. John Krumboltz’s happenstance theory states that career and life development is best fostered by preparing for opportunities that you may not know even exist in the current moment. Numerous unpredictable factors are potentially shaping the future. These include the crises adversity brings.In Friedrich Nietzsche’s book, Behold the Man, the German philosopher writes that a person who has “turned out well” could be recognized by the ability to take advantage of and prosper from adversity, just as he wrote before, “What does not kill him makes him stronger.”So, the next time adversity enters your life, will you run from it, or will you embrace it and use it as a step ping stone to greater happiness and success?51.Why does the author quote the line from Shakespeare’s play?A.To emphasize the great wisdom of Shakespeare.B.To highlight the beauty of Shakespeare’s language.C.To challenge the conventional belief regarding adversity.D.To show the long-standing recognition of adversity’s value.52.What is conveyed through Mary Pickford’s story?A.Fame can block one’s achievements.B.Strong determination overcomes adversity.C.Accepting adversity results in positive outcomes.D.Courage in the face of challenges leads to success.53.What is the idea behind Krumboltz’s happenstance theory?A.Embracing uncertainty.B.Managing life’s challenges.C.Seizing hidden opportunities.D.Focusing on personal growth.54.What is the author’s attitude towards adversity?A.Cautious.B.Favorable.C.Neutral.D.Doubtful. 55.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Finding value and opportunity in facing adversity.B.Stress as the primary cause of growth and innovation.C.How to avoid adversity and negative experiences in life.D.Historical figures who failed to overcome adversity effectively.阅读下面短文,并根据题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

Most weeks, I’d greet Kevin as he set up gloves, mats, and other equipment. So I was shocked when I arrived one day to find him standing in front of the room telling a story, with tears streaming down his cheeks. I was worried something had gone terribly wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talk, I heard him use words like “amazing”and “accomplishment.”I realized his tears weren’t out of sorrow, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED (General Equivalency Diploma), at the age of 52.Having dyslexia (阅读障碍), Kevin left school at a young age and then managed to support himself by taking odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally landed an opportunity for a job with some promise: working for a sheriff’s department (治安部门). Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his education, they said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED.He agreed, optimistic about this new career potential, and kind of excited about giving school another chance.Kevin studied with a tutor (家庭教师), and he did it for more than a decade, learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, every free moment he had, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to“climbing a mountain.”In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results. He posted them on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress.“I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak,”he said.Finally, he made it.“I can’t really describe what it’s like to finally achieve this,”he said.“I can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.”This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin, it’s a new beginning. He’s on a roll, and his next step is college. “Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,”he said.4.Why did Kevin cry in the classroom?A.He was worried about his future.B.He had reached one of his goals.C.He was moved by a touching story.D.He had experienced something terrible.5.What was the response of the sheriff’s department when they learned of Kevin’s education?A.They recommended a part-time job to him.B.They assessed his suitability for the job.C.They refused him directly.D.They gave him hope.6.How did Kevin encourage himself to keep going to get his GED?A.By taking time to do things that interest him.B.By reporting his test results to his tutor.C.By writing himself encouraging words.D.By reminding himself of his progress.7.What can we learn from Kevin’s story?A.Where there’s a will, there’s a way.B.The early bird catches the worm.C.Practice makes perfect.D.Grasp all, lose all.Women usually live longer than men, but they also get sick more often. New research from the University of Georgia shows that eating a good diet with lots of colorful fruits and vegetables can help women stay healthier. These foods have something called carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), which are good for our eyes and brains.The study looked at many past studies and found that women get more health problems than men. These problems include diseases where the body fights itself and memory loss. Women are more likely to get these diseases because of their biology. “Women have more body fat than men, which is good for having babies, but it also means they need to eat more healthy things to stay well,” said Hammond, a researcher.Why are women more vulnerable (脆弱的) to health problems? One reason is how they store vitamins (维生素) and minerals. Women’s bodies keep more fat, and fat can hold these important nutrients (营养物). This is helpful when they are having babies, but it also means there might not be enough for their eyes and brains.Eating foods with carotenoids is important because they help protect our bodies from damage. Some carotenoids are found in parts of our eyes and brains and can help with problems in the nervous system. “Both men and women eat these foods, but women need more because their bodies use them up faster,” said Hammond.The food we eat can affect our brains and how we feel. It can even change our feelings and how likely we are to get angry. Now, scientists are learning that the food we eat also affects the bacteria (细菌) in our stomachs, which are important to our health too.8.What does the study suggest about carotenoids?A.They are only beneficial to men.B.They are not necessary for a healthy diet.C.They are good for women’s eyes and brains.D.They have no effect on the central nervous system.9.What is one of the reasons women may need a better diet?A.Women need less food than men.B.Women’s diets are short of carbohydrates.C.Women need more vitamins to support their body fat.D.Women have a higher risk of developing health problems.10.What is the connection between diet and the bacteria in our stomachs?A.Certain bacteria can only be found in women’s stomachs.B.The bacteria in our stomachs have nothing to do with our health.C.The bacteria in our stomachs determine our food preferences.D.The food we eat affects the bacteria in our stomachs.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Why do women live longer than men?B.Why do women lose more memory?C.Women may have a higher risk of mental illnessD.Diets with more carotenoids can help women stay healthierDeepfake technology, which uses AI and machine learning and can change videos and photographs in a way that appears realistic, has frequently been covered in a negative light. Thetechnology can be used to violate (侵犯) privacy and create fake videos. While these potential abuses of the technology are real and concerning, it doesn’t mean we should turn a blind eye to the technology’s potential.Jaime Donally, a math teacher and technologist, has written about how a type of deepfake technology called Deep Nostalgia that went viral in 2021 can allow students to form a stronger connection with the past. She never met her grandfather in her real life. Using deepfake technology she was able to make one of the few photos that exist of her grandfather come to life, which was moving for her. “It just gave this deeper connection,” she says.Teachers have used the deepfake technology to bring historical figures such as Albert Einstein to life. One teacher Donally has “communicated” with Frederick Douglass to help students connect with Douglass’ famous 1852 speech about the meaning of the Fourth of July to Black enslaved Americans. Another teacher has plans to use the technology to have students interview a historical figure and create dialogue for them. “It makes them want to learn more,” Donally says of using deepfake technology.” It drives them into kind of the history and understanding a bit more, and I think it also helps them identify who they are in that process.”As much potential as deep fake technology has, there are still important privacy concerns educators need to weigh and evaluate. It’s important to check the legality (合法性) of data collection of facial structure, features, and expressions, and how that information is stored or shared. Teachers should help their students learn to navigate this new technology that will likely be a part of society going forward.12.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.Deepfake has aroused much interest in public.B.Deepfake can produce more realistic photos.C.The benefits of deepfake shouldn’t be ignored.D.More and more fake videos created by deepfake.13.What does “went viral” underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to ?A.Became unpopular.B.Spread fast.C.Was ignored.D.Remained fresh.14.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.Reasons for popularity of deepfake technology.B.Application of deepfake technology in education.C.Expectation for deepfake technology in society.D.The wide use of deepfake technology in classrooms.15.What is the authors’ attitude towards the uses of deepfake?A.Objective.B.Disapproving.C.Unclear.D.Favourable.How To Fight Back-To-School AnxietyAugust is the time to prepare for a new school year. 16 These simple tips can help you or someone you love deal with the year ahead.17 Like any new activity, a new school year is always easier when you’re prepared for it.

She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons (资助人). So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people, who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have a hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Youn g’s head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a photo-taking playland”. Yet a lot of people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $28 ticket to be more reasonable than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says. “We would risk becoming unimportant.”4、What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1?A. To get her phone.B. To escape the crowd.C. To take a photo.D. To push ahead.5、How did the de Young respond to the dilemma?A. By compromising with the government.B. By making the exhibition free of charge.C. By setting periods without photo-taking.D. By extending the free exhibition hours.6、What may the use of social media in museums bring about?A. Museum-owner’s lower profits.B. Exhibits’ damage to appearance.C. Professionals’ lack of tolerance.D. Visitors’ distraction of real focus.7、Which of the following may Linda Butler support?A. Catering to visitors.B. Reducing admission prices.C. Reserving judgement in public.D. Banning social media and photography.Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel (柴油) cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2024.drivers’ concerns about running out of electricity on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed greatly over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade picky consumers.As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes.Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions (排放). If the US could replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 percent. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.8、What does the underlined word “hurdle” in Paragraph 2 probably means?A. Aim.B. Problem.C. Result.D. Step.9、Why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars in the past?A. They were dependable.B. They were not widely promoted.C. They were expensive.D. They couldn’t travel at a high speed.10、What is the function of Paragraph 4?A. To introduce the history of electric travel.B. To explain why the world needs more electric cars.C. To show why more people have interest in electric cars.D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.11、Which is the best title for this passage?A. Driving into a Cleaner FutureB. History of Electric CarsC. Problems with Petrol and Diesel CarsD. Best Means of TransportationIn recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image.I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit —I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.12、What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.B. The author agrees to overspend money on material things.C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends.13、Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that ______.A. people dislike those who love luxuriesB. traveling changes a person’s identity greatlyC. luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happinessD. experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries14、What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself?A. Be selective about designer labels.B. Create your own personal unique style.C. Choose simple and fashionable styles.D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.15、The main purpose of the article is to ______.A. prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant lifeB. tell how to express yourself through appearancesC. report on a series of studies about luxuries and happinessD. persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries二、七选五16、Here a few famous people may give you some helpful tips on how to choose the right books to read.● Read books from past eras.①_________Otherwise, you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” just as Albert Einstein put it. “Somebody who reads only newspapers and books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who dislikes eyeglasses,” he said.●②_________Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep you from forming a lasting impression. Seneca the Younger suggested that “you must linger (逗留) among a limited number of master thinkers, and digest their works rather than in larger quantities.”● Shop at secondhand bookstores.Virginia Woolf believed the works in secondhand bookstores have an attraction. Browsing through these books gives you the chance to run into something that traditionallibraries can’t bring to you. ③_________● Check out authors’ reading lists.American philosopher Mortimer J. Adler talked about how to choose books. He attached importance to those that other authors consider worth reading. ④_________ “Trust their tastes.” said Mortimer.● Make the final decision by yourself.⑤_________It’s you yourself who should choose what, how an d when to read. Theodore Roosevelt recommended choosing books on subjects that interest you and letting your mood guide you to your next great read.A. Interest is the best teacher.B. Great authors are great readers.C. Leave some room for older works.D. Learn more about those great authors.E. Don’t jump too quickly from book to book.F. There’s no “best books” list that everyone should follow.G. Usually they are much more selective in organizing their collections.三、完形填空(20空)In 1945, Sergeant (中士) John Gonsalves was sent back to Germany soon after thefamily as soon as possible.Gonsalves and their five sons.them well and letting them know he was looking forward to returning home.

Armed with gloves and trash bags, we spent hours collecting discarded bottles, cans, and plastic waste. It was a laborious task, but the sense of purpose was inspiring. As we cleaned, we also educated visitors about the importance of environmental conservation.The experience was not only about physical labor but also a lesson about community spirit and personal responsibility. I felt a deep sense of accomplishment, knowing that my efforts, however small, contributed to a cleaner and healthier environment.读后续写Possible versionOllie approached me, seemingly to say something. As Mrs. Smith continued to gaze longingly at the poster, he whispered, “Why don’t we give her the extra ticket?” Touched by his thoughtfulness and generosity, I nodded. When we presented her with the ticket, she was overjoyed and lost for words. My dad winked at Ollie, silently expressing gratitude for his kindness. The fair was great, filled with laughter, music, and the freshly baked pies. But the very best part was seeing Mrs. Smith’s broad smile.After the fair, I came up with a plan to make up for Ollie ‘s absence. My family decided to throw a surprise “Family Harvest Fair” in his honor. Besides party decoration, we prepared simple but fun games. We also invited neighbors around. Ollie’s face lit up with surprise and gratitude. During the fair, we baked an “award-winning” pie and gifted him with a classic album bearing Eagles’ autographs. Even though it wasn’t quite the same as the real fair, the genuine laughter and happiness shared among us were equally fulfilling. It was Ollie’s act of kindness that sparked a ripple of lasting joy for us all.试题解析阅读理解阅读A篇1. A2. B3. D【来源】2024年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试抢分卷(三)英语试题【导语】本文是一篇应用文。

His breathing was faint, and he lost consciousness after falling.Yang Xiaoping, from Suzhou’s emergency command center, received the emergency call and quickly determined that the patient required immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Yang was joined by Zhou Jie, an ICU physician from Suzhou Hospital, who provided precise guidance on executing CPR and other pre-hospital medical procedures via an online first aid platform, supported by nearby bystanders. They also instructed on the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).Once the ambulance arrived, the patient was connected to an electronic CPR device to maintain uninterrupted chest compressions during transport. Paramedics transmitted his vital signs and other critical data to the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University.Upon arrival at the hospital, the emergency team continued CPR for seven more minutes until they successfully recovered a heartbeat and pulse. After completing CT scans and other tests, the patient was diagnosed with a stroke triggered by brain inflammation and was transferred to the intensive care unit.Over the following week, the young man’s condition steadily improved, and he is now stable.Doctors emphasized that the successful rescue underscored the importance of a well-integrated emergency response system. “He’s recovering very well.” said Lu Fan of the emergency team. “For critical cases like cardiac arrest, each step — from on-scene CPR to ambulance care to hospital resuscitation — must operate flawlessly. That’s what allowed this ideal outcome despite the language barrier.”“We are building a systematic public emergency model based on cooperation between AEDs, volunteers, and the emergency rescue dispatch system to initiate a response the moment the emergency call comes in, and the patient is now able to eat and get out of bed.” said Zhang Zhifang, deputy director of the Suzhou Health Commission.The young man’s parents, who flew to Suzhou on Aug 15, expressed their gratitude: “We`re so grateful to everyone — the university staff, ambulance team. Doctor Lu, and all who saved his life,” said the father “We hope to bring our son home alive and well, which would have been impossible without everything everyone has done.”The hospital noted that the online first aid platform, supported by Tencent and launched in July, played a crucial role in the rescue. The platform has already facilitated nine cardiac arrest rescues in its first month of operation.“Previously, we relied only on voice instructions over the phone, which was quite limiting,” said Wang Liang, deputy director of Suzhou’s emergency command center. “Video allows our dispatchers (调度员) to see the actual scene in real time for more precise guidance.”So far, over 28,000 volunteers in Suzhou have completed CPR training, with 22,000 certified as emergency responders. Public AEDs have been installed at major landmarks such as metro stations, with more planned for malls, parks, campuses, and other high-traffic areas, including the university where this incident occurred.4.What mainly contributed to the recovery of the young man in Suzhou?A.Self-saving and timely surgery.B.Quick response and cooperation of all.C.International medical instruction and help.D.Advanced medical equipment.5.How did the doctors treat him when he arrived at the hospital.A.They stopped CPR.B.They immediately sent him to the intensive care unit.C.They monitored his heartbeat and pulse.D.They started a surgery.6.What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word in Para. 7?A.Stressed.B.Attached.C.Improved.D.Limited. 7.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.There was no language barrier when saving this young man.B.The young man is still in a dangerous condition.C.The online first aid platform played a significant role in-the rescue.D.We’re still relying only on limited voice instructions over the phone.An endangered fish species that disappeared four decades ago from the Dianchi Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Yunnan province, has been “reborn” in the Dianchi Lake basin, thanks to scientists’ efforts and the improvement of the basin’s ecological environment.The golden-line barbel(Sinocyclocheilus graham), an endangered fish species that disappeared four decades ago from the Dianchi Lake in Yunnan province, has rebuilt a stable population in the Dianchi Lake basin.The golden-line barbel(Sinocyclocheilus Grahami), a type of rare cave fish originally lives in Dianchi Lake, has been absent from the lake since the 1980s due to factors such as water pollution, reclamation of land from lakes, and invasion of exotic species.In 2007, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Kunming Institute of Zoology achieved a breakthrough in the fish’s artificial breeding technology, making it the third Chinese nationally protected fish species to be successfully bred artificially, following the Chinese sturgeon and the red-bellied fish.Wang Xaoai, a senior engincer at the Kunming Institute of Zoology, said since 2009, theinstitute has released over 3 million artificially bred golden-line barbel fingerlings (鱼) in the Dianchi Lake basin amid the improvement of the lake’s ecological environment and water quality.“According to our monitoring, these fingerlings have formed a stable population of 400 to 500 for a decade in the Panlong River, one of the major rivers that flow into Dianchi Lake,” she said, noting that her research team has also been cultivating the native aquatic plants such as Ottelia acuminata, as well as snails and mussels to restore the local ecosystem.“Next, we hope to find some fish eggs or fingerlings in the lake, which would demonstrate that the species is capable of reproducing and sustaining itself in the current aquatic ecosystem,” Wang said.To date, the institute has made breakthroughs in artificial breeding techniques for 48 indigenous fish species in Y unnan, and has successfully restored wild populations of nine local fish species, she added.8.Why did the golden-line barbel disappear 40 years ago?A.Scientists’ efforts.B.Good ecological environment.C.Stable population.D.Water pollution.9.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The number of the fish was improved naturally.B.The fish was the first Chinese nationally protected fish species.C.Over 3 million artificially bred golden-line barbel was released to Dianchi Lake basin.D.They cleaned the lake and drove away the exotic species.10.What can be inferred from Wang’s words?A.These fingerlings have formed a stable population of 400 to 500 in the Dianchi Lake.B.The native aquatic plants, snails and mussels help to restore the local ecosystem.C.We have found some fish eggs or fingerlings in the lake.D.The species is capable of reproducing and sustaining itself.11.Which column can this article most possibly belong to?A.Travel.B.Technology.C.Ecology.D.PoliticsHealth chiefs are to use artificial intelligence to screen and treat people at risk of hepatitis C (丙型肝炎) under plans to wipe out the life-threatening disease by 2030.The NHS scheme, due to start within weeks in England, aims to identify thousands of patients unaware that they have the virus (病毒) so that treatment can be given before it is too late. Staff will use AI to comb through patient health records and look for significant risk factors, such as historical blood transfusions or an HIV diagnosis.Anyone identified by the AI software will be invited for a consultation by their GP and, if necessary, will undergo further screening for hepatitis C.Patients who test positive for the virus — which can be caught from contact with the blood of an infected person, such as by sharing a needle — will be offered antiviral medicines. Professor Graham Foster, chairman for NHS England’s hepatitis C elimination programs, described the scheme as “a significant step forward” in the fight to root out the virus.“Hepatitis C can be a deadly disease which affects tens of thousands across the country but with unlimited access to NHS treatments, innovative patient finding initiatives such as this one…we will continue to boost the life chances of thousands of patients by catching the virus even earlier,” Foster said in an interview. Hepatitis C deaths fell by 35 percent in the five years to 2020, from 482 to 314, according to the latest data from the UK Health Security Agency. New cases also fell from 129,000 in 2015 to 81,000 in 2020. The fall in deaths was largely thanks to earlier detection of the virus and improved access to treatments.Rachel Halford, chief executive of the Hepatitis C Trust, said: “There has been brilliant work to expand testing in a wide range of settings in recent years but we have not yet seen the advances we need to see in primary care. The rollout of this screening programme is therefore another vital step towards achieving elimination (根除).”12.What is the purpose of the NHS scheme?A.To test the virus and cure patients with hepatitis C.B.To effectively wipe out the life-threatening disease.C.To boost the life chances of patients by eliminating the virus.D.To detect patients with hepatitis C for early treatment.13.Who is most likely to be infected with hepatitis C?A.A man who shakes hands with an infected stranger.B.A boy who has breakfast with his infected friends.C.A woman who works with hepatitis C patients every day.D.A girl who happens to transfuse blood donated by infected patients.14.What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The danger of hepatitis B.The advancement of NHS treatments.C.The effects of the programme.D.The urgency of curing the disease. 15.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Hepatitis C is a life-threatening disease.B.NHS scheme helps to kill the hepatitis C virus.C.Hepatitis C deaths in the UK have declined.D.AI is a new weapon against deadly hepatitis C.Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: “Should I jump?” This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of same coin. 16 Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.17 More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. 18 So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰) of thoughts can help you move forward.Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. 19 They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. 20 You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.A.This can affect your work.B.So how should you motivate yourself?C.However, this should not discourage you.D.So why should we try to set specific goals?E.They can change according to circumstances.F.Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.G.Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.二、完形填空At 33, I did something brave, or some would say stupid.

I remember a time when I was feeling down, but a simple smile from a friend brightened up my day. It made me realize that even in the toughest moments, a smile can bring a glimmer of hope.Smiling is like a universal language that connects us with others. It shows kindness, empathy, and positive energy. It has the ability to uplift spirits, foster connections, and create a more pleasant and harmonious world.So, let’s embrace the power of smile. Let it be a constant reminder to see the good in life and share it with those around us. A smile is a small act that can have a big impact.【解析】本篇书面表达属于应用文写作中的稿件。

One of them told her about the Smith family who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was grieving deeply. Could Ferrell offer some support?That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Ferrell was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd, the long-time social service professional had put out a call on her blog. She wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Smith family, she sent a wind chime (风铃) with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near” written on it. It now hangs in the four-year old’s bedroom, where his older brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants.This is not the first time that Ferrell has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, in 2016, she founded Love in Action, an organization committed to doing something good near her home and beyond Its aim is simple: Do Your Best, Show Your Love!Over the years, the organization has reached out and touched well over 100 strangers, some found via Ferrell’s blog, others with help from her grandkids. The organization also shares inexpensive and creative gift ideas for others to help people in need.Ferrell pays for everything herself: gift cards, pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, and care packages. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious warning against spending it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. “I got a couple of gift cards form birthday this year and was like YESSS!” It’s Ferrell’s party, and she’ll give if she wants to.24.What were the unusual messages Ferrell got on her 53rd birthday?A.Help requests.B.Donation offers.C.Gift ideas.D.Birthday wishes.25.What can we learn about Ferrell from her gift to the Smith family?A.She is caring and brave.B.She is loving and helpful.C.She is patient and romantic.D.She is creative and determined.26.Which of the following best describes Love in Action?A.It involves people in acts of kindness.B.It holds the belief that kindness pays off.C.It offers aid within Ferrell’s neighborhood.D.It mainly aims to educate kids to help out.27.Why does Ferrell’s family give her warnings?A.She thinks little of her family’s concern.B.She treats strangers better than her family.C.She is financially dependent on her family.D.She is too ready to give away her birthday gifts.In many families today, both the mother and the father have jobs outside the home. This can make it difficult to take care of the children. To help, some companies are changing the work rules. These companies are trying to be more family-friendly.What are companies doing to become family-friendly? Many companies are allowing their employees (雇员) to work flexible (灵活的) hours. With flexible hours, people can work full time, but they don’t have to work to a nine-to-five schedule. Some employees choose to come early and leave early. Some employees choose to work ten hours one day and six hours the next. Most companies say that flexible hours increase productivity. In the United States, about one-third of full-time employees have flexible work schedules.Family-friendly companies also allow two employees to share one job. Each employee does half the job and gets half the salary. In the United States, 27% of the companies offer some kind of job sharing.Many family-friendly companies also give paid leave to both parents when a baby is born. In many countries, employers have to give female workers time off before and after the birth of a child. In the United States, for example, female employees get 12 weeks of unpaid time off. New mothers can stay at home, but they don t get their salary. In some countries, employers have to give all workers paid leave for the birth of their child. In Finland, for example, both male and female employees get paid leave. Women get 105 days of paid leave and men get 42.The way people work is changing. For many people, that is a good thing.28.Some companies make some changes in their work rules toA.allow parents to work at home B.give parents more time to relaxC.provide parents with more job opportunities.D.enable parents to take care of theirchildrenA.can arrange their work time themselves B.can work with their babies aroundC.must work from nine to five D.must share jobs with othersA.they have physical problems B.they have a new babyC.they do a good job D.they do extra workA.some companies’ family-friendly rules B.ways of job sharing in some companies C.job opportunities for female employees D.companies’ work rules about getting leaveLike any doctor, Jacques Fellay wants to give his patients the best care. Hidden inside our bodies are genetic (基因的) markers that can tell him which patients could probably have diseases such as AIDS and provide early treatments. However, there are worries for Fellay: they contain sensitive details that could lead to embarrassment, discrimination or even worse.A new kind of encryption, fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) (全同态加密), is making it possible for data users to run multiple operations on genetic data without seeing the contents. This can help end big data’s privacy problem, and Fellay’s patients can be some of the first to benefit.In 1978, the concept of homomorphic encryption (HE) was firstly proposed. According to it, one could encrypt and share data with others, who could analyze and perform calculations on the data with no idea what it means. After getting the data back, the data user could simply arrive at the result using the secret key and it will make total sense.In 2009, Craig Gentry firstly provided a workable FHE program. Like HE, it rests on a mathematical idea called a homomorphism, which mostly relies on using algebra (代数) to map data from one form to another without changing its underlying structure. However, it supports multiple operations on encrypted data, rather than only one calculation in HE.Later, Gentry went on to work at IBM, which now has complicated FHE tools to run encrypted data. In the medical field, for example, it detected signs of COVID-19 infection by applying FHE to analyze the encrypted CT scans of more than 1, 500 people’s lungs. In a paper published in October 2021, the team used FHE to collect data from multiple sourcesand predicted the effect of cancer treatments or the process of HIV infection, as in Fellay’s case.Workable, but still slow: calculations on the FHE-encrypted data could take millions of times longer than those on raw data. But, as Goldwasser says, “If you believe that security is not a plus, but it’s a must,” she says, “then in some sense there is no overhead.”32.What is Fellay concerned about?A.Serious diseases.B.Sensitive patients.C.The safety of personal data.D.The lack of genetic information.33.In what way is FHE different from HE?A.It speeds up the analyses.B.It allows more calculations.C.It prevents direct access to data.D.It depends on the use of algebra.34.What is Goldwasser’s attitude towards FHE?A.Contradictory.B.Unclear.C.Favorable.D.Intolerant. 35.What is the main idea of the text?A.FHE protects privacy in the big data era.B.FHE opens a new world for medical workers.C.Gentry proposed a new encryption technology.D.Homomorphic encryption developed over time.三、七选五Often when we have an uncomfortable feeling,such as sadness,fear or shame,our first reaction is to reject that feeling. We may tell ourselves that it is a bad feeling we don’t want to have. 36 For example,some people try to push it away or use alcohol to feel better.Certainly no one wants to feel emotional pain all the time,but when we reject our emotions,we may actually make things worse. Often emotions arise as they give us useful information about the,world. 37An alternative to pushing away our emotions is to accept them. Accepting means that wemust practice allowing our emotions to be what they are without judging them. 38 When we’re happy,we have to accept not only that happiness is a short-term condition,but also that we won’t always be happy. This goes for every type of emotions.Emotions help us decide what we should stay away from and what we should approach.39 Therefore,accepting emotions is helpful,because when we listen to our emotions,we can actually learn important information.40 After all, it’s our instincts (本能) to avoid them. With practice, though, we can learn to accept our emotions. Meditation (冥想) and mindful breathing exercises can be helpful.A.We have emotions for a reason.B.Actually,it is vital to handle our emotions.C.It isn’t easy to learn how to accept emotions.D.It also means accepting that emotions will change.E.Then we may do something to get rid of that feeling.F.Therefore,pushing away emotions isn’t the best idea.G.Without emotions,we would make terrible decisions all the time.四、完形填空One day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a businesssaid.“Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in 51 there is a new art show.”“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can’t see. ““Can’t see! You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you and I do,” the clerk said. “His wife 52 each painting so he can see it in his head.”I learned something about patience, 53 and love that day.

AGrandparents who help out occasionally with childcare or provide support for others in their community tend to live longer than seniors who do not care for other people, according to a study from Berlin, Germany.‘Having no contact with grandchildren at all can negatively impact grandparents’ health. This link could be deeply rooted in our evolutionary past when help with childcare was important for the survival of the human species,” said Sonja Hilbrand, one of the researchers. However, having full-time custody of grandchildren may harm their health.The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70 in the Berlin aging Study. The participants completed interviews and medical 1ests every two years. Overall after considering grandparents age and general state of health, the risk of dying was one-third lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren, compared with grandparents who didn’t provide any childcare.Half of the grandparents who cared for grandchildren were still alive ten years after the initial interview. The same was true for participants who did not have grandchildren but supported their adult children in some way, such as helping with housework. In contrast about half of the participants who did not help others died within five years after the start of the study.“Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active, said Professor Arpino, adding that previous studies suggest that caregiving may improve cognitive functioning, mental and physical health.Arpino noted, however, that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health, andtoo many caring responsibilities can take away benefits from other activities like working, being in social clubs, or volunteering.“Children should take into account their parents' needs, willingness, and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare," Arpino suggested.1.What is the caregiving study based on?A. Data on elderly people.B. Medical tests on children.C. Human evolutionary history.D. Interviews on local community.2.What does the underline word“ participants”in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.ResearchersB.AttendantsC. Care-giversD. Specialists3. Which statement about childcare may Arpino agree with?A. Childcare is bound to be beneficial to grandparents.B. Grandparenting is meant to become a growing trend.C. Proper amounts of childcare make grandparents live longer.D. More childcare can provide grandparents with more health.BOn a clear night in 1994,an earthquake hit Los Angeles and caused a city-wide power cut just before dawn. Awake in surprise, some residents who had escaped outside called various emergency centers to report a mysterious cloud overhead.That unusual object turned out to be the band of the Milky Way, which had long been unclear from view by the city's lights.Arguably, the light bulb (电灯泡} is the most transformative invention humans have introduced to this planet. By pressing a switch or pushing a button, we can lift the veil (面纱)that would naturally cover our lives each, night. Now, we work long after the sun sinks below the horizon. We play games outside far into the night. We more safely wander around city streets after dark.But if light bulbs have a dark side, it's that they have stolen the night. The extra light brightening our environments is endangering ecosystems by harming animals whose life cycles depend on the dark. We're endangering ourselves by changing the biochemical rhythms (节律) that normally go out and flow with natural light levels. And in a basic sense, we're lost our connection to nighttime skies, on the basis of which our ancestors made up their star-related stories, timed the planting and harvesting of crops, and inferred the physical laws governing theuniverse.“The disappearance of the night sky is tied up with our ever more fast-paced world, says Amanda Gormley of the Tucson-based International Dark-Sky Association.“ We lose something vital; we lose a part of ourselves when we lose access to the night sky. We lose that sense of stillness that should be right over our heads every night.Now, as the consequences of light pollution arise out of the shadows and into the spotlight, cities, regulatory agencies, and conservation groups are seeking solutions. And in some areas, lots of improvements are already in place, powered by a new wave of cheaper, more energy-seving light.4.Why is the earthquake hitting Los Angeles mentioned?A. To witness its serious damage.B. To lead in the topic of the text.C. To state its influence on the city.D. To tell backgrounds of the text.5. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. Dark nights.B. Endangered ecosystems.C. Light pollution.D. Brightened environments.6. How does the author sound in the last paragraph?A. Hopeful.B. Concerned.C. Doubtful.D. Academic.CIf you’ve ever been on a fishing boat, you’ve probably seen crowds of birds following it, hoping to catch a snack. Now scientists use those birds' behavior to track illegal fishing boats.Researchers attached data loggers (记录器) to the backs of 169 albatrosses (信天翁) in Indian oceans. Weighing only 42 grams, the devices included a GPS, which enabled them to detect the presence and intensity of radar signals emitted (发射)by boats. That information was then sent by satellite, so the researchers could track the location of the birds--and thus the radar-emitting boats-- in real time.The scientists then cross checked that data against the known locations of boats, collected from a system boats use to declare themselves, called the Automatic Identification System (AIS). And noticeable differences appeared frequently.More than a third of the times the bird "loggers" detected radar signals, and therefore a boat, but no such boat appeared in the official log - meaning that the :vehicles had likely switched off their AIS - something that probably happens in illegal fishing operations.The work suggests birds could be an effective boat-monitoring tool as long as illegal fishingoperations don' t target the birds.Fortunately, such a task would be difficult. Around fishing boats, you can find. hundreds of birds at any one time that are flying around. And the birds with loggers are not marked in any way. So it' s not really possible for fishermen to pick out a specific bird.But what concerns researchers is that albatrosses often get caught by some fishing boats. Though regulations have been established to protect against that happening - with success-illegal boats don' t necessarily obey. So scientists might be underestimating the risk posed to albatross populations.7. What characteristic of albatrosses do scientists take advantage of in their research?A.Their feeding patterns.B.Their sense of direction.C.Their greedy behaviors.D.Their habit of following fishing boats.8.For what purpose does a boat shut off its AIS?A.To seek more fishes.B.To have it mistaken for another.C.To avoid being detected.D.To save the trouble of declaring itself.9.What does “such a task” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A.Identifying birds with loggers.B.Monitoring illegal boats.C.Tracking radar signals automatically.D.Fishing illegally.10.What could be the best title for the text?A.AIS: an Effective System to Locate BoatsB.Humans Are Good at Discovering Birds' NatureC.Data Loggers Help Fishermen Get a Good HarvestD.Scientists Use Birds to Track Illegal Fishing Operations第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
