Good morning, everyone! The topic of my speech is transportation in the future.
In the future, the flying car will appear and be widely used in our daily life. Not only is it user-friendly, but also it can help save time. However, every coin has two sides.

解析：
21. A 22. B 23. D
【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了LBEL这一应用软件的功能和作用。
21. 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“It is committed to helping increase your English listening skills, thus helping you master the English language in a systematic manner.(它致力于帮助提高你的英语听力能力，从而帮助你系统地掌握英语语言)”可知，这个应用软件是为那些听力能力薄弱的人准备的。故选A。
22. 推理判断题。根据第三段前两句“All the articles that come with the app are categorized. It means that you can practice along with at your own level and pace.(该应用程序附带的所有文章都进行了分类。这意味着你可以在你自己的水平和节奏上一起练习)”可知，此款软件可以让你按照自己的水平进行练习，所以是通过难度级别划分文章的，故选B。
23. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Simply download the app on your device right away, and start increasing your listening skills from anywhere, anytime you want.(只需立即在你的设备上下载该应用程序，并开始在你想要的任何地方提高你的听力技能)”可知，这是一个应用程序的广告。故选D。
24. C 25. D 26. A 27. B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了罗马尼亚最鼓舞人心的传统之一“熊舞”的相关情况。
24. 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“This folk tradition dates back to thousands of years ago.(这个民间传统可以追溯到几千年前。)”可知，熊舞是一个有着悠久历史的传统，故选C。
25. 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Traditionally, the arrival of the “bears” is announced by a small group of “irozi”, who blow whistles (口哨) to a rhythm set by the head bear tamer (训兽师). (传统上，“熊”的到来是由一小群“伊罗兹”宣布的，他们根据驯兽师设定的节奏吹口哨。)”可知，熊舞是以一群人按照驯兽师设定的节奏吹口哨开始。故选D。
26. 细节理解题。由文章第五段中“The Bear Dance sees men of all ages, and increasingly more women, who are dressed in real bear skins and dance to the rhythm of pan flutes and drums to drive off evil spirits and ring in the new year. (参加“熊舞”的有各个年龄层的男人，也有越来越多的女人，他们穿着真正的熊皮，随着笛子和鼓的节奏跳舞，以驱除邪恶的灵魂，迎接新的一年。)”可知，当地人每年都要举行熊舞，迎接新的一年。故选A。
27. 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Of the many colorful Romanian traditions that are brought to life every year, the Bear Dance is one of the most inspiring. This folk tradition dates back to thousands of years ago.(在每年丰富多彩的罗马尼亚传统中，熊舞是最鼓舞人心的传统之一。这个民间传统可以追溯到几千年前。)”可知，文本可能取自杂志的文化部分。故选B。
28. B 29. C 30. B 31. D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家对鸟类为何频繁歌唱的新解释，即通过锻炼发声肌肉来保持歌唱的最佳表现。
28. 词句猜测题。根据前文“Previous research suggests that constant singing uses a lot of energy and exposes birds to others(先前的研究表明，不断的歌唱会消耗大量的能量，并将鸟类暴露在其他动物面前)”可知，鸟类不断的歌唱会将鸟类暴露在其他动物面前，这让鸟类成为容易攻击的目标，所以推知vulnerable意为“容易成为目标的”，和B项意思相近。故选B项。
29. 推理判断题。根据第三段“These findings may also be relevant to human voices. Adam points out that if we apply these bird results to humans, any period of not speaking might lead to a loss in vocal performance. This insight suggests that songbirds could one day help us improve how we train and restore our own voices.(这些发现也可能与人类的声音有关。亚当指出，如果我们将这些鸟类的结果应用于人类，任何不说话的时期都可能导致发声能力的下降。这一见解表明，有一天鸣鸟会帮助我们改进自己的声音训练和恢复方法)”可知，如果将鸟类的研究结果应用于人类，任何不说话的时期都可能导致发声性能的丧失。这说明研究鸟鸣对人类有重要意义，因此人类声音在文本中被提及是为了展示研究鸟鸣的重要性。故选C项。
30. 细节理解题。根据第四段“Adam assumed the muscles that produce birdsong required daily exercise, so she designed an experiment on zebra finches — small Australian songbirds. Light is what attracts the birds to sing, so she prevented them from singing for a week by keeping them in the dark almost around the clock. The only exceptions were a few half-hour periods each day when the lights were turned on so the birds could eat and drink.(亚当假设产生鸟鸣的肌肉需要日常锻炼，于是她对斑胸草雀——一种小型澳大利亚鸣鸟——进行了一项实验。光吸引鸟类歌唱，所以她几乎全天候地让它们处于黑暗中，以防止它们歌唱，持续了一周。唯一的例外是每天有几个半小时的时间会开灯，这样鸟儿可以吃喝)”可知，Adam设计的实验是基于光照是吸引鸟类唱歌的因素，因此她几乎全天候地把鸟放在黑暗中，以防止它们唱歌。因此，Adam的实验基础是光照是鸟类唱歌的一个促成因素。故选B项。
31. 主旨大意题。根据第一段““Why birds sing is relatively well-understood,” says Ins Adam, a behavioral scientist at the University of Southern Denmark. The big question for her was: Why do birds sing so frequently (“为什么鸟类会唱歌这一点人们已经相对了解了，”南丹麦大学的行为科学家英斯·亚当（Ins Adam）说。对她来说，最大的问题是：为什么鸟儿如此频繁地歌唱？)”以及最后一段““This study highlights that achieving mastery in any skill requires a lot of practice,” says Ana Amador, a scientist at the University of Buenos Aires who was not involved in the research.(“这项研究强调了，要想在任何技能上达到精通，都需要大量的练习，”布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的科学家安娜·阿玛多尔（Ana Amador）说，她没有参与这项研究)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了鸟类每天歌唱对其发声肌肉健康的重要性，所以D项“Daily Singing: Essential for Birds’ Vocal Muscle Fitness(每日歌唱：鸟类声带肌肉健康的必要条件)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。
32. G 33. E 34. A 35. C 36. F
【导语】这是一篇说明文，本文介绍了旅行前学习一门新语言的小贴士。
32. 根据空后一句“But speaking the local language shows you care and it will help you mix with the locals easily.(但是说当地语言表明你很在乎，这将帮助你轻松地与当地人相处)”可知，空格处应与这一句应形成转折关系。G选项“你可能不知道这些单词如何正确发音。”与下文形成转折关系，符合语境。故选G。
33. 根据后文“The amount of time you’ll need depends on the language you’re learning, how often you practice and your learning style.(你需要的时间长短取决于你学习的语言、练习的频率和你的学习风格)”可知，学习语言的时间长短受到很多因素的影响，E选项“学习一门语言不是一蹴而就的。”说明学习语言不会一蹴而就，引出下文内容，符合语境。故选E。
34. 本空是本段的小标题。根据文中“And who is better to speak a language with than a native speaker who can train you better and correct your mistakes (还有谁能比一个可以更好地训练你并纠正你的错误的母语人士说一门语言更好呢？)”可知，本段主要建议和母语人士交谈。A选项“与母语人士交谈。”引出段落内容，适合作为段落主题句。故选A。
35. 根据空前一句“There are some free language exchange websites where you can find native speakers to practise with.(有一些免费的语言交流网站，你可以在那里找到母语为英语的人进行练习)”可知，此处介绍与母语人士交谈的途径。C选项“你也可以找一个私人课程来参加。”继续给出与母语人士交流的途径，符合语境。故选C。
36. 根据空前一句“Apps like Google Translate, Duolingo, Bilingual or Hi Native can help you to learn languages quickly.(像谷歌翻译，Duolingo，Bilingual或 Hi Native这样的应用程序可以帮助你快速学习语言)”可知，一些应用程序可以提供帮助，F选项“这些应用程序可以帮助你有效地学习语言。”介绍了这些应用程序的好处，承接上文，符合语境。故选F。

【原文】W: I think working in Austria is quite different from working in the U. K. Um, I've done both. When I started off working in an office in Austria, I found the office where I worked was exactly like the one in my hometown in Germany. The journey to work was just five minutes' walk down the road. Now I work in London and I spend an hour cycling or forty-five minutes on the underground. That actually takes two hours off your day. However, what I really like about working in the U.K.is that everything starts late. We're starting to work at nine, but in Austria you've got to be there by eight o'clock. So you need to get up at seven. If you want to do some sports before work, you're getting up at six. That's why I found myself being terribly tired when I was in Austria.漳州艺术实验学校

Of the many colorful Romanian traditions that are brought to life every year, the Bear Dance is one of the most inspiring. This folk tradition dates back to thousands of years ago.
Traditionally, the arrival of the “bears” starts by a small group of “irozi”, who blow whistles(口哨) to a rhythm set by the head bear tamer(训兽师). Chosen for his leadership skills, the head tamer is the one who decides when each of the acts is played and gives the cues.
The “bears” dance to the beat set by the pan flutes and the drums. Wearing the special costumes requires strength and must be handled with confidence, to look fierce, with the heaviest of costumes weighing up to 50 kilos.
When the person wearing the costume is standing up straight, the “bear” looks up. During the dance, the wearer must bend forward and shake his or her body to the left and to the right while taking small steps either to the front or to the side.
The Bear Dance symbolizes the death and rebirth of time. The Bear Dance sees men of all ages, and increasingly more women, who are dressed in real bear skins and dance to the rhythm of pan flutes and drums to drive off evil spirits and ring in the new year. Performed between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, this ancient ritual brings together the whole community, who gather to watch the performance.

“Why birds sing is relatively well-understood,” says Ins Adam, a behavioral scientist at the University of Southern Denmark. The big question for her was: Why do birds sing so frequently
Previous research suggests that constant singing uses a lot of energy and exposes birds to others, making them vulnerable by revealing their location and territory, which is highly dangerous. However, in a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Adam and her colleagues offer a new explanation for this risky behavior. They suggest that songbirds may need to exercise their vocal(发声的) muscles to maintain top performance in their songs.
These findings may also be relevant to human voices. Adam points out that if we apply these bird results to humans, any period of not speaking might lead to a loss in vocal performance. This insight suggests that songbirds could one day help us improve how we train and restore our own voices.
Adam assumed the muscles that produce birdsong required daily exercise, so she designed an experiment on zebra finches — small Australian songbirds. Light is what attracts the birds to sing, so she prevented them from singing for a week by keeping them in the dark almost around the clock. The only exceptions were a few half-hour periods each day when the lights were turned on so the birds could eat and drink.
After a week, the birds’ singing muscles lost half their strength. Adam then tested whether this muscle loss affected the quality of the birds’ songs. Although she couldn’t hear any difference when comparing a male’s song before and after the period of darkness, a group of female birds showed a clear preference: six out of nine preferred the song from a male who had been exercising his singing muscles daily.
“This study highlights that achieving mastery in any skill requires a lot of practice,” says Ana Amador, a scientist at the University of Buenos Aires who was not involved in the research.
28. Which of the following best explains “vulnerable” underlined in paragraph 2
A. Rarely found. B. Easily targeted. C. Directly poisoned. D. Actively defended.
29. Why are human voices mentioned in the text
A. To illustrate Adam’s idea by comparison.
B. To assess Adam’s previous work accurately.
C. To show the significance of studying birdsong.
D. To stress the distinction between human voices and birdsong.
30. What is the basis for Adam’s experiment
A. Birds need little practice for better singing.
B. Light is a contributory factor in birds’ singing.
C. Weakening muscles result in less attractive songs.
D. Male birds produce songs to attract female birds.
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. Singing Invites Trouble to Birds
B. Songbirds Help Restore Human Voices
C. Vocal Muscles: the Secret of Birds’ Singing
D. Daily Singing: Essential for Birds’ Vocal Muscle Fitness
