Sheep and his friends join young cooks on the journey to learning key cooking skills and delicious recipes (食谱). As you’d expect, there are various kinds of masterclass cakes and bread making. Useful advice on how to use important equipment in the kitchen and how to get started is included, along with simple step-by-step instructions, easy for young readers to follow.
Welcome to our Table by Laura Mucha and Ed Smith
This book explores what is on the menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner across the world, with information about how main foods such as rice, bread, and noodles appear in different forms. Interesting facts-what’s in a lunch box around the world and different types of ice-cream-are details children can enjoy.
That’s Mathematics by Chris Smith
Written by Scottish Teacher of the Year and musician Chris Smith, this book is based on words of Tom Lehrer song. This is fun and practical maths, with questions, lots of everyday examples, and exercises for young readers to try to deepen knowledge and understanding. There is a useful parents’ notes section at the back.
Call the Puffins! By Cath Howe
On the island of Egg，a group of young birds are in training for a search and rescue team. There’s Muffin, following in her father’s footsteps and anxious not to let him down. Young Tiny has eyesight problems but is determined not to let that stop him, while Forti seems over-confident but is really trying hard to impress.

A new study on 26 chimpanzees（黑猩猩）from zoos around the world found that chimpanzees can recognize family members and long lost friends even after decades of separation.
The participating chimpanzees were given juice while staring at a screen flashing side by side photos of other chimps. One animal from each pair of photos had lived with the group for at least a year, while the other was a stranger. An eye-tracking camera recorded where the participants were looking and for how long. Data showed their eyes rested longer on familiar groupmates, suggesting “rich recognition of each other.”
There is also evidence that they became more intent when shown a picture of a chimpanzee with whom they’d had more positive interactions, compared with conflicting relationships.
In the most impressive case, a 46-year-old chimpanzee named Louise repeatedly demonstrated “intense” attention upon seeing photographs of her sister Loretta and nephew Erin, whom she hadn’t seen in more than 26 years. The team said Louise’s results represent the longest-lasting social memory documented in any non-human animal to date.
“We tend to see ourselves as unique special creatures with incredible intellectual（智力的）capacities that are very different from other animals on earth,” said Laura Simone Lewis, a postdoctoral fellow in Berkeley’s psychology department and lead author of the study.”This study is showing us how similar we are to chimpanzees.”She noted that the findings support the theory that long-term social memory in humans and modern day chimps has come from “our last common ancestor that lived somewhere between 5 to 7 million years ago” who also likely had long-term social memory.
Now that they have definitive evidence that these endangered species possess long-term social memories, researchers have more questions, including whether chimpanzees miss the individuals they’re no longer with, especially their friends and family. “Our study doesn’t determine they are doing this, but it raises questions about the possibility that they may have the ability to do so,” Lewis said.
24．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The nature of chimps. B．The analysis of the recorded data.
C．The method of the study. D．The layout of experimental equipment.
25．What does the underlined word “intent” in paragraph 3 mean
A． Doubtful. B．Attentive. C．Hesitant. D．Emotional.
26．Why is the example of Louise in paragraph 4 mentioned
A．To further prove the existence of chimps’ social memory.
B．To explain where chimps’ social memory comes from.
C．To better demonstrate the chimps’ memory length.
D．To stress chimps are as intelligent as human beings.
27．What will the research team most probably continue to explore
A．Why chimps possess the amazing social memories.
B．How to strengthen chimps’ long-term social memories.
C．How chimps recognized their close contacts after long separation.
D．Whether chimps feel strong emotions to their long lost friends.
C
As AI becomes popular, researchers have noticed its influence on the environment. Training an AI system requires huge computing power and electricity, and the resulting CO2 emissions (排放) are one way AI affects the environment. But its environmental effect is more than its carbon (碳)footprint.
Jesse Dodge, a scientist at the Allen Institute, says, "The influence of Al systems is going to be from their applications, not the cost of training them." David Rolnick, a computer scientist at McGill University, compares AI to a hammer (锤子) “The main effect of a hammer is what is being hammered,” he says, "not what is in the hammer." Just like a hammer which can either destroy things or build a house, Al can hurt or help the environment.
In 2019, ExxonMobil, an oil company, said it would use Microsoft’s app Azure. With the Al technology, it would increase its production and create billions of dollars. This means Microsoft's AI is directly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. This is not the only AI application that could be environmentally harmful. AI behind the ads that jump out on Instagram or Facebook pages pushes customers to spend more on products like clothes. This in turn causes more emissions through more production and delivery.
But on the other side of the coin, there are AI applications that can help deal with environmental problems, such as the destruction caused by hurricanes. One such application is xView2, a program started by a U. S. organization. It can recognize buildings damaged and people trapped in natural disasters, reducing danger and saving time for rescuers.
AI could be a valuable tool in the fight against climate change—if the Al industry can reduce its harmful climate effects. "Both AI and climate rules have roles to play." Rolnick says. When creating Al rules, he suggests considering its applications, emissions, and other production costs. Further, Dodge adds that those AI professionals should help set up some value systems to limit the technology's use.
28. Where does the effect of AI systems on the environment come from according to Dodge
A. The popularity of AI. B. The emissions of CO2.
C. The cost of AI training. D. The way of applying AI.
29. How does the writer develop Paragraph 4
A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers.
C. By comparing facts. D. By explaining details.
30. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Production costs will be lower. B. Al's advance should be limited.
C. Rules for AI can be helpful. D. AI plays a role in making rules.
31. What is the main idea of the passage
A. AI applications are environmentally harmful.
B. AI's environmental effect goes beyond its emissions.
C. AI is effective in solving environmental problems.
D. AI affects the environment by CO2 emissions.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For some people, the warmest memories from childhood come from being read a great story. ___32 It develops children’s language skills and increases their ability to succeed in school and later work.
A new report by the American Academy of Pediatrics says reading aloud is so important that parents should start as soon as their children are born and continue to read aloud even after their children can read by themselves. They say parents should also point to and talk about pictures in books for infants (婴幼儿). 33
The company Scholastic is a major U. S. publisher of children’s books. Every two years, Scholastic publishes a report on American reading attitudes and habits. The 2015 report says only 31 percent of children in the U.S. read a book for fun almost every day.
34 One is simply to have books in the home. Elizabeth Lyttleton, the mother of three, is lucky. Her mother once wrote and illustrated（加插图于） children’s books, so the family always have plenty to read. She says all her children learn from books but in different ways. 35__ Researchers from the Scholastic company find that 80% of children surveyed—of all ages—say they love being read to. And children ages 6 to 11 whose parents do not read to them anymore say they miss it.
36 Of all the six- to 17-year-olds in the Scholastic study, more than 90% say their favorite books are the ones they choose for themselves.
A. Do children still read for fun
B. A book does not have to be serious to be good for kids.
C. But reading to children does more than create warm memories.
D. For young children, parents should ask questions about the book.
E. Another way to develop a reading habit in children is to read to them.
F. Scholastic also identifies some ways to develop a love of reading in a child.
G. The Scholastic report also suggests permitting children to choose their own books.

Sports bring us together
Sports are more than competitions.
I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. Although I did well in all the academic subjects, I was afraid of physical education. Even kids in the neighborhood would laugh at me. “Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!” Their words embarrassed me. At school, whenever the teacher organized some competitive games, no one in the class would choose me as their partner or team member. As a result, I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games.
Things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high school. By mistake, my name was put on the list of those who would compete in the women’s 1500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late to change.
My deskmate, Mary, was a natural athlete. She said to me, “I couldn’t run that race in your place, because I have signed up for three items already.” I nearly broke down. 1500 meters! Running against the best runners in front of the whole school! It would be the worst nightmare I’d ever have!
“You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet,” Mary patted me on the shoulder, “That is cool! You will run for our class! And we will do training together.” Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class. But still, 1500 meters to me was like Mount Everest (珠穆朗玛峰) to a beginning climber. I had no idea even how to start my preparation.
Mary invited me to join in their training. Every afternoon after class, several of us ran together. When the fear of being laughed at flooded over me, I saw others running right beside or stand by the tracks cheering for us. They gave me strengths.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

参考答案
What makes a person excellent For this question, answers may vary from person to person. ①I hold the belief that it's the willingness to serve the country and the people that makes an excellent person.
In my opinion, Yuan Longping is such an excellent person. As a top scientist in the world, Mr. Yuan lived a very simple life, but his contributions were invaluable to the field of science and agriculture. ②Without him and his team, there would still be millions of people having to face the threat of hunger. He devoted his whole life to his country and people, and even to the world.
So we should learn from Mr. Yuan. Love our country and serve our people.

【答案】参考例文
Before I could realize how fast one month went by, I was standing behind the start line of the sports meet. Seeing my classmates waving their hands as if about to run beside me, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. With the shot of the starting gun, I dashed out and ran as fast as I could, as if it were a 200-meter race. Soon I was out of breath and slowed down. My legs were getting heavier and heavier, and I might fall down at any moment. However, I suddenly heard Mary calling my name. My deskmate even ran along the track beside me and cheered for me at the same time, just like the month- long training we did together. Gritting my teeth, I pushed myself on step by step.
As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line. When I was wondering how to apologize for my poor performance, my classmates came around to hold my arms, helping me walk on my feet and not to sit down. I was surrounded, with all kinds of drinks handed to me. The kind of warmth that I felt at the very moment stayed fresh on my mind. Sports are not about winning or losing competitions, but bringing me close to my classmates and helping us grow together.
