3．（2024春 天河区期末） By 2040，nearly one in four Swedes will be 65 years or older.In a country where life expectancy is very high and most care for the elderly is government funded，that means a strain on spending and resources is approaching.One concern is the supply of affordable yet comfortable accommodations.
Furniture giant IKEA has one idea.The company is launching a new style of home for dementia（痴呆） patients through BoKlok，a joint enterprise with a construction company that makes sustainable and affordable housing.
"We see a growing concern that people are ending up in institutions where they do not want to end up，" noted Jonas Spangenberg，BoKlok CEO. "If we can crack the code where you can continue to live at a home that is more suitable for you，even with various syndromes（症状），we believe we could do a good thing for society."
For the past three decades，the group has built more than 11，000 modular（组合式的） homes throughout Sweden，Finland and Norway using the IKEA model：cut down costs by producing large quantities of parts off﹣site.Lower income customers only pay what they can afford after taxes and living expenses.
Now，the company thinks it can help people who struggle with memory loss to live at home —saving the government money it would otherwise spend on care.It's just built a small pilot with six apartments，the first tailored homes，just outside Stockholm.Design adjustments include taking mirrors and dark﹣colored floor out of bathrooms and fitting kitchen appliances with old﹣fashioned knobs，rather than digital controls.
The developments also highlight spending time outdoors，and will include "therapeutic" gardens and clubhouses for socializing.That could make it more appealing for a partner to move there，too. "To take care of elderly people，that cost is exploding，" Jonas Spangenberg told CNN Business. "It's much cheaper for society and the public to give them service back home."
（1）What problem do senior people in Sweden face？ 　 　
A.A high aging rate.
B.No access to suitable housing.
C.Separation from their family.
D.Hug e expenses on health care.
（2）Which words can best describe the six pilot apartments？ 　 　
A.Dark﹣colored and natural.
B.Well﹣equipped and stylish.
C.User﹣friendly and comfortable.
D.Visually﹣appealing and safe.
（3）What does Spangenberg think of the project？ 　 　
A.It was launched too late to be effective.
B.It can reduce population with memory loss.
C.It remains to be seen whether it's a wise decision.
D.It enables the government to better spend its money.
（4）What could be a suitable title for the text？ 　 　
A.Aging population：a challenge for Sweden.
B.The IKEA model：a sustainable construction plan.
C.BoKlok project is better housing dementia elderly.
D.House companies are helping fight memory loss.
4．（2024春 广州期末）In 2020，OpenAI，a research lab in San Francisco，revealed a system called GPT﹣3.It is what artificial intelligence researchers call a neural（神经系统的） network，after the web of neurons in the human brain.A neural network is really a mathematical system that learns skills by locating patterns in vast amounts of digital data.By analyzing thousands of cat photos，for instance，it can learn to recognize a cat. "We call it 'artificial intelligence，' but a better name might be 'finding statistical patterns from large data sets，'" said Dr.Gopnik，the Berkeley professor.
More recently，researchers at places like Google and OpenAI began building neural networks that learned from enormous amounts of prose，including digital books and Wikipedia articles by the thousands.GPT﹣3 is an example.As it analyzed all that digital text，it built what you might call a mathematical map of human language — more than 175 billion data points that describe how we piece words together.Using this map，it can perform many different tasks，like penning speeches，writing computer programs and having a conversation.
But there are limitations.If you ask GPT﹣3 for 10 speeches in the voice of Mark Twain，it might give you five that sound remarkably like the famous writer — and five others that come nowhere puter programmers use the technology to create small snippets（一小段） of code they can slip into larger programs，but more often than not they have to edit and adjust whatever it gives them.
Still，Dr.Gopnik described this kind of system as intelligent. "It is not intelligent in the way humans are.It is like an unfamiliar form of intelligence，" he said. "But it still counts."
Dr.Gopnik and many others in the field are confident that they are on a path to building a machine that can do anything the human brain can do.This confidence shines through when they discuss current technologies.He admits that some A.I.researchers "struggle to differentiate between reality and science fiction." But he believes these researchers still serve a valuable role. "They help us dream of the full range of the possible，" he said.
Perhaps they do.But for the rest of us，these dreams can get in the way of the issues that deserve our attention.
（1）Which of the following statements correctly describes GPT﹣3？　 　
A．It is meant to monitor human's neuron webs.
B．It stores limitless data in its mathematical system.
C．It can identify images and employ human language.
D．It studies pictures and digital books to invent patterns.
（2）In paragraph 3，the example of computer programmers is used to 　 　 .
A．illustrate GPT﹣3 is far from perfect.
B．warn programmers against technology.
C．show the process of slipping code into program.
D．explain why GPT﹣3 fails to find Mark Twain's speeches.
（3）What does Dr.Gopnik think of the mathematical system of GPT﹣3？　 　
A．He finds it valuable because it maximizes the current technologies.
B．He doubts its worth though it is remarkably similar to a human brain.
C．He thinks highly of it because it plays a valuable role in A.I.research.
D．He believes it will interrupt our thinking though it differs from science fiction.
（4）What's the author's attitude towards A.I.？　 　
A．Enthusiastic.
B．Opposed.
C．Supportive.
D．Unconcerned.
5．（2024春 黄埔区校级期末） The concept of intellect is a multifaceted and complex one；to grasp its essence，one must consider the intricate nature of cognition rather than merely the physical dimensions of the cerebral organ.Should we assume that the magnitude of the brain is the sole determinant of intelligence，then the sperm whale，with its cerebral mass weighing approximately 20 pounds，would arguably be deemed the most intellectually endowed species on our planet.However，it is more plausible to assert that the structural connectivity and the neural pathways within the brain are the true indicators of intellectual prowess.When assessed from this perspective，intelligence can be perceived as the attribute that equips a living entity with the most advantageous set of capabilities to thrive and persist within its ecological setting.Furthermore，the faculty of language，which encompasses the ability to communicate complex ideas and emotions，may very well serve as an exemplary manifestation of such intellectual acuity.
"Language allowing humans to be a more advanced species is a hypothesis that somebody came up with one day without really trying to prove it，" says Erich Jarvis，a professor who studies the neuro﹣biology of vocal learning. "The idea stuck around，but so have other common beliefs that are not really supported with evidence，" he points out.
In an endeavor to deepen their understanding of the intricacies of vocal acquisition and cognitive processes，the researchers delved into the realm of avian vocalization，specifically focusing on the melodious songbirds.A comprehensive set of seven cognitive experiments were conducted on a sample of 214 songbirds，representing a diverse array of 23 distinct species.Among these，the majority，encompassing 21 species，were captured from their natural habitats，while the remaining two species were of domesticated origin.
The behavioral assessments aimed to scrutinize the birds' capacity for problem﹣solving，exemplified by their ability to devise strategies to overcome obstacles in order to attain a food reward.Additionally，the study probed into two other cognitive faculties frequently correlated with intelligence：associative learning，which involves the acquisition of knowledge through the connection of stimuli，and reversal learning，a process where an animal modifies its behavior in response to changes in reward contingencies.
Subsequently，the researchers investigated the potential influence of vocal learning on the development of these three cognitive skills，juxtaposing the capabilities of the 21 bird species that are adept at vocal learning against the two species that lack this ability.
Jarvis's recent study has yielded some of the initial insights suggesting a correlation between vocal learning—a fundamental element for the development of spoken language—and problem﹣solving capabilities.It was observed that species of birds that are capable of vocal learning exhibited a propensity for creativity，as evidenced by their innovative approaches to acquiring seeds or extracting a worm trapped beneath a cup by employing tactics such as removing the obstruction or manipulating the environment.
According to Jarvis，all three of these competencies—problem﹣solving，associative learning，and reversal learning—are generally regarded as integral components of intelligence.
However，an unresolved query persists regarding the underlying reasons for the robust connection between problem﹣solving proficiencies and vocal learning.Michael Goldstein，a psychology professor at Cornell University who is engaged in the study of vocal learning in both songbirds and humans，albeit not a participant in the aforementioned research，posits that the neural regions responsible for vocal learning do not coincide with those that are activated during the process of troubleshooting.
（1）Which can probably define intelligence according to Paragraph 1？ 　 　
A.Language.
B.Brain size.
C.Brain structure.
D.Environment.
（2）What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean？ 　 　
A.Guarantee.
B.Assumption.
C.Category.
D.Distribution.
（3）What are Paragraphs 3&4 mainly about？ 　 　
A.Habits of songbirds.
B.Methods of domesticating songbirds.
C.Outline of the study.
D.Three phases of displaying intelligence.
（4）What may the text talk about next？ 　 　
A.The mechanism that bridges all the brain regions.
B.The functions of the brain areas that can troubleshoot issues.
C.The reasons why songbirds' intelligence can not develop further.
D.The reasons why vocal learning influence problem﹣solving abilities.

8．（2024春 海珠区校级期末）Shoes are made for walking.
But Aamir，a homeless Indian boy，doubted it.Wandering the noisy railway platform，he found one of his flip﹣flops （人字拖鞋） broken again.He hurried to a corner，sat down and tried to fix it，his bare foot pressing awkwardly against the ground.However，it was beyond repair.
He gave up and looked around aimlessly，staring at people's shoes.Suddenly，his eyes were drawn to two boyish legs wearing flawlessly white socks and equally perfect black leather shoes，which were glittering in the mid﹣day sun.It was a boy of his age.He couldn't treasure his possession too much，obviously，because every ten seconds，he stopped，bent down and carefully wiped a dust or two from his shoes.His father was constantly glancing over and urging him， "Hurry up!The train is coming!"
Aamir's eyes followed the father and son，but mostly the leather shoes，as if enchanted （被施魔法的）.Imagining himself wearing them，the comfort from the good leather，jaw﹣dropping look on his friends' faces，he couldn't help cracking a big smile.
The bell of the train drew him back；the fancy﹣shoe boy and his father were about to get aboard.They tried to crowd into the doorway.However，the instant the boy entered the compartment （车厢），one of his shoes fell off and before he could pick it up，the train began to pull away.
The shoe was now lying alone on the platform.Aamir's eyes lit up with excitement.Like an arrow，he shot for the shoe and then picked it up，holding it with both hands as if holding the Queen's crown.After a few seconds of hesitating and looking from the shoe to the train and back，he began racing﹣﹣with only one good shoe，his flip﹣flop.
He held the leather shoe up，trying to pass it to the boy through the window，who was desperately reaching out his hand as well.However，it was never close enough.
Para 1：That left Aamir no choice but to throw the shoe onto the train.
______
Para 2：But when he raised his head，Aamir saw the other shoe thrown out of the window.
______

3．（2024春 天河区期末） By 2040，nearly one in four Swedes will be 65 years or older.In a country where life expectancy is very high and most care for the elderly is government funded，that means a strain on spending and resources is approaching.One concern is the supply of affordable yet comfortable accommodations.
Furniture giant IKEA has one idea.The company is launching a new style of home for dementia（痴呆） patients through BoKlok，a joint enterprise with a construction company that makes sustainable and affordable housing.
"We see a growing concern that people are ending up in institutions where they do not want to end up，" noted Jonas Spangenberg，BoKlok CEO. "If we can crack the code where you can continue to live at a home that is more suitable for you，even with various syndromes（症状），we believe we could do a good thing for society."
For the past three decades，the group has built more than 11，000 modular（组合式的） homes throughout Sweden，Finland and Norway using the IKEA model：cut down costs by producing large quantities of parts off﹣site.Lower income customers only pay what they can afford after taxes and living expenses.
Now，the company thinks it can help people who struggle with memory loss to live at home —saving the government money it would otherwise spend on care.It's just built a small pilot with six apartments，the first tailored homes，just outside Stockholm.Design adjustments include taking mirrors and dark﹣colored floor out of bathrooms and fitting kitchen appliances with old﹣fashioned knobs，rather than digital controls.
The developments also highlight spending time outdoors，and will include "therapeutic" gardens and clubhouses for socializing.That could make it more appealing for a partner to move there，too. "To take care of elderly people，that cost is exploding，" Jonas Spangenberg told CNN Business. "It's much cheaper for society and the public to give them service back home."
（1）What problem do senior people in Sweden face？ 　B　
A.A high aging rate.
B.No access to suitable housing.
C.Separation from their family.
D.Hug e expenses on health care.
（2）Which words can best describe the six pilot apartments？ 　C　
A.Dark﹣colored and natural.
B.Well﹣equipped and stylish.
C.User﹣friendly and comfortable.
D.Visually﹣appealing and safe.
（3）What does Spangenberg think of the project？ 　D　
A.It was launched too late to be effective.
B.It can reduce population with memory loss.
C.It remains to be seen whether it's a wise decision.
D.It enables the government to better spend its money.
（4）What could be a suitable title for the text？ 　C　
A.Aging population：a challenge for Sweden.
B.The IKEA model：a sustainable construction plan.
C.BoKlok project is better housing dementia elderly.
D.House companies are helping fight memory loss.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了家具巨头IKEA通过其与建筑公司的合资企业BoKlok，为瑞典的老年人，特别是患有痴呆症的老年人，提供了一种新型的、适宜的、可负担的住房方案。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据文章第一段By 2040，nearly one in four Swedes will be 65 years or older.In a country where life expectancy is very high and most care for the elderly is government funded，that means a strain on spending and resources is approaching.One concern is the supply of affordable yet comfortable accommodations.（到2040年，近四分之一的瑞典人将年满65岁。在一个寿命非常长且大部分老年人护理由政府资助的国家，这意味着支出和资源的压力正在逼近。一个令人担忧的问题是提供既经济又舒适的住宿。）可知，瑞典的老年人面临的问题是没有适宜的住房，故选B。
（2）推理判断题。根据文章第五段It's just built a small pilot with six apartments，the first tailored homes，just outside Stockholm.Design adjustments include taking mirrors and dark﹣colored floor out of bathrooms and fitting kitchen appliances with old﹣fashioned knobs，rather than digital controls.（它刚刚在斯德哥尔摩郊外建了一个有六套公寓的小试点，这是第一个定制的住宅。设计调整包括取消浴室的镜子和深色地板，给厨房电器安装老式旋钮，而不是数字控制。）和最后一段The developments also highlight spending time outdoors，and will include "therapeutic" gardens and clubhouses for socializing（开发项目还强调户外活动，包括"治疗"花园和社交会所）可知，这些公寓是以用户为中心的，舒适的，故选C。
（3）推理判断题。根据文章第三段If we can crack the code where you can continue to live at a home that is more suitable for you，even with various syndromes（症状），we believe we could do a good thing for society.（如果我们能找到一种方法，让你即使有各种症状，也能继续住在更适合你的家中，我们相信我们可以为社会做一些好事。）和最后一段To take care of elderly people，that cost is exploding（照顾老年人的成本正在爆炸式增长）和It's much cheaper for society and the public to give them service back home.（让他们在家接受服务对社会和公众来说要便宜得多。）可知，该项目在为社会做好事，为政府和社会减轻养老负担，Spangenberg认为这个项目可以让政府更好地花费其资金，故选D。
（4）标题归纳题。根据全文内容，特别是第二段Furniture giant IKEA has one idea.The company is launching a new style of home for dementia（痴呆） patients through BoKlok，a joint enterprise with a construction company that makes sustainable and affordable housing.（家具巨头宜家有一个主意。该公司正在通过与建设公司共同开发可持续住宅的"BoKlok"，为痴呆症患者推出一种新型住宅。）可知，主要讲述了家具巨头IKEA通过其与建筑公司的合资企业BoKlok，为瑞典的老年人，特别是患有痴呆症的老年人，提供了一种新型的、适宜的、可负担的住房方案。所以文章最好的标题为"BoKlok项目正在更好的安置痴呆老人"。故选C。
【点评】一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
4．（2024春 广州期末）In 2020，OpenAI，a research lab in San Francisco，revealed a system called GPT﹣3.It is what artificial intelligence researchers call a neural（神经系统的） network，after the web of neurons in the human brain.A neural network is really a mathematical system that learns skills by locating patterns in vast amounts of digital data.By analyzing thousands of cat photos，for instance，it can learn to recognize a cat. "We call it 'artificial intelligence，' but a better name might be 'finding statistical patterns from large data sets，'" said Dr.Gopnik，the Berkeley professor.
More recently，researchers at places like Google and OpenAI began building neural networks that learned from enormous amounts of prose，including digital books and Wikipedia articles by the thousands.GPT﹣3 is an example.As it analyzed all that digital text，it built what you might call a mathematical map of human language — more than 175 billion data points that describe how we piece words together.Using this map，it can perform many different tasks，like penning speeches，writing computer programs and having a conversation.
But there are limitations.If you ask GPT﹣3 for 10 speeches in the voice of Mark Twain，it might give you five that sound remarkably like the famous writer — and five others that come nowhere puter programmers use the technology to create small snippets（一小段） of code they can slip into larger programs，but more often than not they have to edit and adjust whatever it gives them.
Still，Dr.Gopnik described this kind of system as intelligent. "It is not intelligent in the way humans are.It is like an unfamiliar form of intelligence，" he said. "But it still counts."
Dr.Gopnik and many others in the field are confident that they are on a path to building a machine that can do anything the human brain can do.This confidence shines through when they discuss current technologies.He admits that some A.I.researchers "struggle to differentiate between reality and science fiction." But he believes these researchers still serve a valuable role. "They help us dream of the full range of the possible，" he said.
Perhaps they do.But for the rest of us，these dreams can get in the way of the issues that deserve our attention.
（1）Which of the following statements correctly describes GPT﹣3？　C　
A．It is meant to monitor human's neuron webs.
B．It stores limitless data in its mathematical system.
C．It can identify images and employ human language.
D．It studies pictures and digital books to invent patterns.
（2）In paragraph 3，the example of computer programmers is used to 　A　 .
A．illustrate GPT﹣3 is far from perfect.
B．warn programmers against technology.
C．show the process of slipping code into program.
D．explain why GPT﹣3 fails to find Mark Twain's speeches.
（3）What does Dr.Gopnik think of the mathematical system of GPT﹣3？　C

5．（2024春 黄埔区校级期末） The concept of intellect is a multifaceted and complex one；to grasp its essence，one must consider the intricate nature of cognition rather than merely the physical dimensions of the cerebral organ.Should we assume that the magnitude of the brain is the sole determinant of intelligence，then the sperm whale，with its cerebral mass weighing approximately 20 pounds，would arguably be deemed the most intellectually endowed species on our planet.However，it is more plausible to assert that the structural connectivity and the neural pathways within the brain are the true indicators of intellectual prowess.When assessed from this perspective，intelligence can be perceived as the attribute that equips a living entity with the most advantageous set of capabilities to thrive and persist within its ecological setting.Furthermore，the faculty of language，which encompasses the ability to communicate complex ideas and emotions，may very well serve as an exemplary manifestation of such intellectual acuity.
"Language allowing humans to be a more advanced species is a hypothesis that somebody came up with one day without really trying to prove it，" says Erich Jarvis，a professor who studies the neuro﹣biology of vocal learning. "The idea stuck around，but so have other common beliefs that are not really supported with evidence，" he points out.
In an endeavor to deepen their understanding of the intricacies of vocal acquisition and cognitive processes，the researchers delved into the realm of avian vocalization，specifically focusing on the melodious songbirds.A comprehensive set of seven cognitive experiments were conducted on a sample of 214 songbirds，representing a diverse array of 23 distinct species.Among these，the majority，encompassing 21 species，were captured from their natural habitats，while the remaining two species were of domesticated origin.
The behavioral assessments aimed to scrutinize the birds' capacity for problem﹣solving，exemplified by their ability to devise strategies to overcome obstacles in order to attain a food reward.Additionally，the study probed into two other cognitive faculties frequently correlated with intelligence：associative learning，which involves the acquisition of knowledge through the connection of stimuli，and reversal learning，a process where an animal modifies its behavior in response to changes in reward contingencies.
Subsequently，the researchers investigated the potential influence of vocal learning on the development of these three cognitive skills，juxtaposing the capabilities of the 21 bird species that are adept at vocal learning against the two species that lack this ability.
Jarvis's recent study has yielded some of the initial insights suggesting a correlation between vocal learning—a fundamental element for the development of spoken language—and problem﹣solving capabilities.It was observed that species of birds that are capable of vocal learning exhibited a propensity for creativity，as evidenced by their innovative approaches to acquiring seeds or extracting a worm trapped beneath a cup by employing tactics such as removing the obstruction or manipulating the environment.
According to Jarvis，all three of these competencies—problem﹣solving，associative learning，and reversal learning—are generally regarded as integral components of intelligence.
However，an unresolved query persists regarding the underlying reasons for the robust connection between problem﹣solving proficiencies and vocal learning.Michael Goldstein，a psychology professor at Cornell University who is engaged in the study of vocal learning in both songbirds and humans，albeit not a participant in the aforementioned research，posits that the neural regions responsible for vocal learning do not coincide with those that are activated during the process of troubleshooting.
（1）Which can probably define intelligence according to Paragraph 1？ 　C　
A.Language.
B.Brain size.
C.Brain structure.
D.Environment.
（2）What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean？ 　B　
A.Guarantee.
B.Assumption.
C.Category.
D.Distribution.
（3）What are Paragraphs 3&4 mainly about？ 　C　
A.Habits of songbirds.
B.Methods of domesticating songbirds.
C.Outline of the study.
D.Three phases of displaying intelligence.
（4）What may the text talk about next？ 　D　
A.The mechanism that bridges all the brain regions.
B.The functions of the brain areas that can troubleshoot issues.
C.The reasons why songbirds' intelligence can not develop further.
D.The reasons why vocal learning influence problem﹣solving abilities.
【答案】CBCD
【分析】这是一篇议论文。主要探讨了智力的复杂性，指出大脑的大小并非决定智力的唯一因素，而是大脑内部的结构连接和神经通路才是智力的真正指标。通过研究鸟类的歌声学习，发现能够进行声音学习的鸟类在解决问题、关联学习和逆向学习方面表现出更高的能力，这些能力通常被认为是智力的重要组成部分。然而，声音学习和问题解决能力之间的强关联原因仍然是一个未解之谜。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段中However，it is more plausible to assert that the structural connectivity and the neural pathways within the brain are the true indicators of intellectual prowess.（然而，更可信的说法是，大脑内部的结构连接和神经通路才是智力的真正指标。）可知，根据第一段，大脑结构可以定义智力。故选C项。
（2）词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中without really trying to prove it（但并没有真正去证明它。）以及第二段"The idea stuck around，but so have other common beliefs that are not really supported with evidence，" he points out.（他指出："这个观点流传了下来，但其他没有证据支持的普遍信念也流传了下来。"）由此可知，此处为这是某个人在某一天提出的一个假设。故可猜测划线单词hypothesis为"假设"的意思，结合选项B项Assumption"假设"意思一致。A.Guarantee保证；B.Assumption假设；C.Category分类；D.Distribution分配。故选B项。
（3）段落大意题。根据第三段 In an endeavor to deepen their understanding of the intricacies of vocal acquisition and cognitive processes，the researchers delved into the realm of avian vocalization，specifically focusing on the melodious songbirds.（为了加深他们对声音习得和认知过程的复杂性的理解，研究人员深入研究了鸟类发声的领域，特别关注了旋律优美的鸣禽。）以及第四段中The behavioral assessments aimed to scrutinize the birds' capacity for problem﹣solving，exemplified by their ability to devise strategies to overcome obstacles in order to attain a food reward.（行为评估旨在仔细检查鸟类解决问题的能力，例如它们为获得食物奖励而制定克服障碍的策略的能力。）可知，第3和4段主要讲的是研究的背景、方法和初步发现，由此可知，说明了研究的大纲。故选C项。
（4）主旨大意题。根据最后一段However，an unresolved query persists regarding the underlying solving proficiencies and vocal learning.（然而，关于问题解决能力与声乐学习之间紧密联系的潜在原因一个未解决的问题仍然存在。）可推知，这篇文章接下来会讨论声乐学习影响解决问题能力的原因。故选D项。
【点评】做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。

（7）考查冠词。句意：来自北京的31岁的张晨说："这就像一个与世隔绝的地方。我无法想象每天早上醒来看到如此美丽的景色会有多高兴。我和丈夫计划今年夏天去新疆旅行，阿勒泰无疑将被纳入我们的行程。"根据句意可知，此处表示"一个31岁的北京人"，应用不定冠词，表示泛指，且31﹣year﹣old的发音以辅音音素开头，所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。
（8）考查连词。句意：旅游相关财经新闻网站的创始人魏长仁表示，阿勒泰并非一夜成名，而是一直以来都是一个以自然美景而闻名的旅游目的地。分析可知，空处需要一个连词连接两个分句，结合句意可知，上下文之间为转折关系，所以应用转折连词but连接。故填but。
（9）考查形容词。句意：虽然阿勒泰目前接待大量游客的能力仍然有限，但魏认为其旅游业的发展前景广阔。分析可知，空处为be动词is的表语，且根据句意可知，此处表示"阿勒泰目前没有接待大量游客的能力"，故形容词incapable"无能力的"符合语境。故填incapable。
（10）考查介词。句意："在我看来，阿勒泰当局可以把这部热播的电视剧当作一个机会，继续开发好的旅游和文化资源来吸引游客，"他补充说。根据句意可知，此处表示"把……当作一个机会"，应用介词as表示"作为"。故填as。
【点评】语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用，做题时要首先明确短文大意，从词汇和语法等方面综合考虑，结合上下文语境填写正确答案。
五．书面表达（共2小题）
8．（2024春 海珠区校级期末）Shoes are made for walking.
But Aamir，a homeless Indian boy，doubted it.Wandering the noisy railway platform，he found one of his flip﹣flops （人字拖鞋） broken again.He hurried to a corner，sat down and tried to fix it，his bare foot pressing awkwardly against the ground.However，it was beyond repair.
He gave up and looked around aimlessly，staring at people's shoes.Suddenly，his eyes were drawn to two boyish legs wearing flawlessly white socks and equally perfect black leather shoes，which were glittering in the mid﹣day sun.It was a boy of his age.He couldn't treasure his possession too much，obviously，because every ten seconds，he stopped，bent down and carefully wiped a dust or two from his shoes.His father was constantly glancing over and urging him， "Hurry up!The train is coming!"
Aamir's eyes followed the father and son，but mostly the leather shoes，as if enchanted （被施魔法的）.Imagining himself wearing them，the comfort from the good leather，jaw﹣dropping look on his friends' faces，he couldn't help cracking a big smile.
The bell of the train drew him back；the fancy﹣shoe boy and his father were about to get aboard.They tried to crowd into the doorway.However，the instant the boy entered the compartment （车厢），one of his shoes fell off and before he could pick it up，the train began to pull away.
The shoe was now lying alone on the platform.Aamir's eyes lit up with excitement.Like an arrow，he shot for the shoe and then picked it up，holding it with both hands as if holding the Queen's crown.After a few seconds of hesitating and looking from the shoe to the train and back，he began racing﹣﹣with only one good shoe，his flip﹣flop.
He held the leather shoe up，trying to pass it to the boy through the window，who was desperately reaching out his hand as well.However，it was never close enough.
Para 1：That left Aamir no choice but to throw the shoe onto the train.
______
Para 2：But when he raised his head，Aamir saw the other shoe thrown out of the window.
______
