Commuting to and from work can be a nightmare. Cars advance slowly in stop and go traffic, crawling from one traffic jam at stoplights to the next. At peak rush hour especially, there is no chance of sailing through a series of green lights. Now, thanks to artificial intelligence, German researchers have found a way to reduce time spent at the crossroads.
Called the KI4LSA project and funded by the Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, the innovation is being tested. Scientists first studied algorithms taken from a busy intersection to learn about traffic patterns and where improvements were most needed. Then, the technology, using high-resolution cameras and radar sensors, more precisely captured the actual traffic situation and detected the average speed of the cars and their waiting times. Finally, the AI uses deep enhanced learning algorithms to calculate the best switching behaviour for the traffic lights and determine the best phase sequence to shorten waiting times at the crossroads.
The results are encouraging when it is being tried out at a busy intersection in Lemgo, Germany. The intelligent lights are said to improve traffic flow by 10 to 15 percent, which results in money saved; the EU estimates that traffic jams create economic damage that adds up to 100 billion euros a year. Aside from reducing commuting time, these traffic lights will reduce noise and CO2 emissions from cars waiting at the crossroads.
Another exciting development in this research is the K14PED project, which studies pedestrians crossing the crossroads. Using AI as well as a 3D points cloud, researchers can identify how many people are waiting at a pedestrian crossing and whether some of the disabled or elder people will need extra time to cross the street. Such a needs-based system could reduce pedestrian waiting time by 30 percent, which could then decrease jaywalking (乱穿马路) by 25 percent.
Researchers are optimistic that it will be adopted by many countries after the tests in the German towns of Lemgo and Bielefeld. This technology is exciting news for pedestrians and drivers alike. It encourages safety, protects the environment, and may even give you more time to enjoy your morning coffee before heading off to work!
24．Why is AI used in the KI4LSA project
A．To study traffic algorithms to control CO2 emissions.
B．To detect road conditions to reduce jam or speeding.
C．To remind people to pass in sequence for a shorter wait.
D．To adjust traffic signals to ensure efficiency at the crossroads.
25．Which of the following is true according to the passage
A．The intelligent lights serve the mere purpose of reducing commuting time.
B．The better traffic flow is improved, the less economic damage is caused.
C．The more cars are waiting at the crossroads, the more noise is reduced.
D．The effect of traffic jams is heavier on environment than on economy.
26．What is the function of K14PED project
A．It monitors traffic conditions at intersections. B．It helps to estimate the number of jaywalkers.
C．It ensures flexible crossing time for pedestrians. D．It improves the speed of vehicles on busy roads.
27．What is the main idea of this passage
A．The intelligent lights offer a blessing to transportation.
B．The AI technology is bound to be a promising industry.
C．Attentive traffic service lends a helping hand to seniors.
D．Digital traffic systems mark the beginning of smart cities.

Mammals (哺乳动物) tend to get huge when they invade the ocean. Why Most of the explanations for this trend treat the ocean as a kind of release. The water partly frees mammals from gravity, allowing them to evolve heavy bodies. But to William Gearty from Stanford University, the ocean makes mammals so big not because it relieves them of limits, but because it sets new ones.
"To deal with the constant loss of heat as you get into the water, the easiest way is to get bigger." he explains, "As bodies balloon, volume increases faster than surface area does, so you produce more heat in your body but lose comparatively less of it from your skin."
But there is a limit because larger bodies also demand more fuel, and there's only so much food that an animal can reasonably get. Therefore, the need to stay warm sets a floor for the body size, while the need to eat sets a ceiling. And the gap between them, Gearty found, is surprisingly narrow. "The minimum size of oceanic mammals is thousands of times larger than the minimum for mammals on land, but the maximum size is only 25 times larger," says Gearty.
These trends suggest that the water places strict size limits. Oceanic mammals must be just the right size-big, yes, but not too big and not too small.
And as always in biology, there are exceptions. Whales go way beyond the size limit. Nick Pyenson from the Smithsonian Institution thinks he knows why. Around 3 million years ago, a combination of changes to glaciers (冰川), winds, and currents created a large increase of nutrients in coastal waters, which then fed lots of shrimps and small fish-potential prey (猎物) for whales.
But these bonanzas weren't evenly distributed. Instead, they were concentrated in particular places far apart from each other-all-you-can-eat buffets separated by food deserts. And that Pyenson says, is why the giant whales evolved. They are adapted to hunt down concentrated prey. Their huge size allows them to survive for a long distance without encountering any food. And they evolved a special technique of feeding. The existence of concentrated prey, and the evolution of a technique for capturing them, allowed whales to break the size ceiling. That's why they transformed from big animals into the biggest animals that ever existed.
28．William Gearty's explanation differ from traditional ones because he believes _________.
A．bigness helps mammals to survive in the water
B．the ocean puts size limits on oceanic mammals
C．oceanic mammals are larger than mammals on land
D．gravity prevents mammals from evolving heavy bodies
29．We can learn from the passage that _________.
A．the sea mammals have to get as big as they can to hunt for food
B．the need to stay warm decides the size ceiling of oceanic mammals
C．the maximum size of an oceanic mammal depends on its food supply
D．the smallest mammals in the ocean are 25 times as big as those on land
30．The underlined word "bonanzas" in the last paragraph probably refers to _________.
A．buffets and deserts B．shrimps and small fish
C．glaciers and currents D．nutrients and waters
31．What is the purpose of the passage
A．To emphasize the importance of big size for the whale.
B．To introduce how whales evolve to survive in the ocean.
C．To explain what influences the sizes of oceanic mammals.
D．To appeal for more scientific studies on oceanic mammals.

After Alexander Pushkin was shot in a duel (决斗) in 1837, crowds of mourners formed in Saint Petersburg. When the wagon carrying the much loved poet’s body reached Pskov province, where he was to be buried, admirers tried to pull the vehicle themselves.
Today’s celebrity funerals tend to involve the public largely digitally rather than in person. But people are passionate all the same. In the past few months, grief has coursed around the internet for Milan Kundera, and most recently, Michael Gambon. If you stop to think about it, such expressions of strong feelings for writers and actors are odd, even irrational.
Unlike other kinds of grief, this one is not rooted in personal intimacy (亲密关系). If you ever interacted with a cherished author, it was probably during a book tour when she signed your copy of her novel. Maybe you once locked eyes with a musician during a live concert and he smiled at you, but actually he did not even know you.
Objectively, sorrow makes sense when a star dies young or violently. Had she not died at 27, who knows what music Amy Winehouse would have added to her already impressive collections of work The death of a long-lived and fulfilled artist, however, is far from the saddest item in an average day’s headlines. And while most ordinary people sink into oblivion, these celebrities live on in their output. Why, then, are these losses felt so widely and keenly
One interpretation is that departed celebrities are merely the messengers. Part of your past —the years in which the musician was the soundtrack, the writer your ally (盟友) — can seem to fade away with them. The grief can be seen as a form of gratitude for the harmony and joy they supplied.
More importantly, the passing of an artist is an occasion for exchanges of ideas. In an atomized age, in which the default (默认) tone is critical, a beloved figure’s death is a chance to share positive feelings and memories with fellow admirers. These sad occasions are the parting gifts of these artists.
32．Why does the author mention Milan Kundera and Michael Gambon in paragraph 2
A．To prove that celebrities’ funerals tend to attract wider public attention.
B．To illustrate why people express their sadness at the loss of those celebrities.
C．To demonstrate that people’s mourning for celebrities seems strange and unreasonable.
D．To show that people’s grief over celebrities’ death is ridiculous and impractical.
33．The underlined phrase “sink into oblivion” in paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A．are upset B．are desperate C．are helpless D．are forgotten
34．What can we learn from the passage
A．People won’t mourn for celebrities unless they have intimate relationships with celebrities.
B．It’s natural that people mourn for celebrities dying young but not for those long-lived ones.
C．People feel sad for the passing of celebrities because of the mental nourishment received.
D．People attend celebrities’ funerals, either in person or on the Internet, to express their loyalty.
35．What’s the author’s attitude towards public mourning for the celebrities
A．Supportive. B．Disapproving. C．Skeptical. D．Concerned.

Apps play tricks on you to turn an activity into a habit. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to encourage healthy behaviors such as exercising or playing word games. 36 . Here’s how to recognize when your tech habit might be an unwelcome obsession (着迷), and practical steps for you to take back control.
Do a cost-benefit analysis. 37 That’s why we need to try doubly hard to do self-assessments of how features such as streaks (打卡时间) or leaderboards are helping and hurting us. Think over whether the behavior they inspire in you contributes to or detracts from your welfare.
Build in “cheat days”. They are like days off from a strict diet. 38 It can also help to schedule days off from our habits—whether it’s running, reading the news or scrolling Instagram.
39 Especially for young people, it can be helpful to plan in advance activities that might be a distraction. If your teen knows he’s allowed one hour on YouTube at 7 p.m., then he can relax without thinking about when he’ll be able to hop on his favorite app.
40 Tech companies, schools, social institutions and governments all have a responsibility to help reset standards of technology use. For example, schools have experimented with locking up students’ phones so they can’t use them during the school day. And the government in some countries have restricted the time young people are allowed to spend playing video games or using social media apps.
A．Use digital timers.
B．Schedule a limited amount of time for your habit
C．It’s hard to be mindful of why we do what we do.
D．Limiting tech overuse can’t be only your responsibility.
E．But even a good habit can cross the line into unavoidable overuse.
F．Actually, doing your favorite activity without a goal can be relaxing.
G．However, don’t be so motivated by rewards that you ignore signs your body needs a rest.

On Nov.18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert.

This powerful 53 has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it. And who knows
Perhaps that is the 54 of life — not just for artists but for all of us, our task in this shaky, fast-changing, bewildering world 55 we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.

76．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Jordi! Wake up!” Father’s voice called from the hallway, and I sat up quickly. The day finally came! The day that I would be a castellar—a tower builder. Mama had breakfast ready. “Are you prepared for your moment of fame ” Papa asked in excitement. My throat was suddenly very dry, and the bread got stuck as I swallowed. Taking a big swig of juice, I put on a smile. “I'm ready” I would do well. I wanted to make him proud.
Here in the eastern part of Spain, casteller groups were very popular. My city hosted the competition this year. Before that, I’d watched my parents compete. But never before had I been part of the tower. It was so high. And it sometimes fell. I was hesitant to be up there. But for the past year, I had been practicing the climb. I was twelve, and I must not be a coward (胆小鬼). So for the first time in a competition, I would help build the tower!
In town, I saw that the center was packed with people and casteller teams from all over the country. Hands sweating, I was waiting for our turn to compete. Mom came and patted me on the shoulder. “Have focus. Have faith.” I nodded to show that I understood and would do my best to follow the suggestions.
Soon, too soon, it was our turn.
My father and three of the strongest men stood in a circle facing each other as they held tightly to each other’s arms. Four more strong men stepped behind, each wrapping his arms around the chest of a man and giving him a bear hug. Then fifty more men and women crowded behind and began pushing on their backs to keep them tightly together.
Our base was solid. Four smaller men climbed onto the backs of the base group and stood on their shoulders. They then grabbed onto each other’s arms and held firmly, creating a strong second tier (层). Another group of men would form the third tier. Then, a group of women, including Mom, started climbing and began to form the fourth tier. Our tower was growing taller and taller.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Then suddenly it was kids’ turn to make the last tier.

M: Nuts and greens are something we already eat plenty of. And although our type of rice—the white kind—isn’t on the list, brown rice is.
W: Then I think we will switch to that to keep the family healthy. Superfoods sound like a very tasty way to keep fit.
11．C 12．A 13．B
【原文】M: Can you tell me what happened this morning, Mrs Jones
W: Well, 2 hours ago, that was around 10:00 in the morning when I was doing the dishes. Then, soon after that, I was polishing the table. I thought I heard a noise, but I was really concentrating on the polishing, so I didn’t take much notice.
M: What happened next
W: I was cleaning the living room, around 10:15, when I heard someone upstairs. It sounded like they were looking for something in my cupboard. About two minutes later, someone ran down the stairs. I ran to the window. A man was getting into a car. Then he was driving away.
M: What time was this, Mrs Jones
W: 10:20. Then I called the police.
14．B 15．C 16．A 17．A
【原文】M: I can’t believe this. I have been on the phone with my bank all day and they still haven’t fixed my problem.

W: That’s terrible. Did they take a lot of money
M: Yes, and I am very upset because the bank is not helping me quickly. I have talked to many different managers already.
W: Doesn’t the bank’s owner need to make the decision to give you your money back
M: No. I just have to prove that these purchases were not made by me.
W: I hope you can fix this problem soon. Something similar happened to my husband’s mother recently. She was tricked into giving away some important information over the phone.
M: I think the person who stole my information got it from the Internet. I bought a collection of movies recently. I won’t be doing that again unless the website is sure to be safe. It’s honestly my fault for being careless.
W: You can never be too careful. Well, your problem is inspiring me to look into protecting my account better. I think I can pay my bank more to help me.

【原文】Now we have a program for those who love acting. This program gives young actors the experience of developing complex characters and performing a full-length production while receiving top-level training. Each actor will receive a role and will be given time to shine on the stage at the end of the week. Children aged between 13 and 18 can take part in the program.
The play is written by Lisa Nanni-Messegee. Todd Messegee will be the director. On the first Monday we meet, actors act for some time to find a suitable role in the play. By the end of the day, they begin developing characters and learning about the play. This continues through mid-week, along with focus on specialty skills that may be needed in the production. On these days, they’ll receive some training on acting. By Thursday, the actors are running the show off-book and memorizing their material. By Friday, the whole group is performing on stage, in a recorded performance. A digital copy of the performance will be shared with actors after the program is complete. This is a very exciting challenge for any actor! It’ll begin on July 26th and end on 30th. Practicing time is from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm every day. Only ten will be admitted. If you’re interested, contact us early. Due to safety restrictions, space is extremely limited in each age group. Registering early is recommended. Register by June 5th for $10 off.

【分析】本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了三个出版社接受文章的标准，出版社网址以及一些特殊要求和提示。
21．推理判断题。通过文章第一段“To increase your chances of landing an assignment for a travel guidebook, you need to find out what the publishers are looking for．Here are links to their submission guidelines with a few special requirements and tips．（为了增加你得到编写旅行指南工作的机会，你需要明白出版商想要的是什么。以下是他们网站的链接，其中有一些特殊要求和提示。）”可以推知，本篇文章主要是通过介绍一些出版社，为作家提供机会。故选B项。
22．推理判断题。根据文章“Workman”部分的小贴士“If they don't accept your article, you might be lucky enough to get feedback about why．（如果他们不接受你的文章，你可能会很幸运地得到关于原因的反馈。）”可知 BWorkman．可以就如何改进文章提供建议。故选B项。
23．推理判断题。通过文章“Fonor's”部分“Do remember to attach a copy of one of your other works when contributing．（请记住在投稿时附上您的其他作品的副本。）”和“Workman”部分“A chapter of your other books is also required．（你的其他书籍的一章也是必需的。）”以及“Lonely Planet”部分“At that page you'll find a form asking for a resume（简历）and links to your other writing.( 在那一页，你会看到一张要求提供简历和你其他作品的链接的表格。)”可以推知，所有公司都要求作者有作品，即有写作经验。故选D项。
24．D 25．B 26．C 27．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了德国研究人员通过人工智能技术，对交通信号灯进行改进，以提高交通流量和减少等待时间。
24．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Now, thanks to artificial intelligence, German researchers have found a way to reduce time spent at the crossroads.(现在，多亏了人工智能，德国研究人员找到了一种减少在十字路口花费时间的方法。)”以及第二段“Called the KI4LSA project and funded by the Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, the innovation is being tested. Scientists first studied algorithms taken from a busy intersection to learn about traffic patterns and where improvements were most needed. Then, the technology, using high-resolution cameras and radar sensors, more precisely captured the actual traffic situation and detected the average speed of the cars and their waiting times. Finally, the AI uses deep enhanced learning algorithms to calculate the best switching behaviour for the traffic lights and determine the best phase sequence to shorten waiting times at the crossroads.(这一创新被称为KI4LSA项目，由交通和数字基础设施部资助，目前正在进行测试。科学家们首先研究了从一个繁忙的十字路口提取的算法，以了解交通模式以及最需要改进的地方。然后，该技术使用高分辨率摄像头和雷达传感器，更精确地捕捉到实际交通状况，并检测到汽车的平均速度和等待时间。最后，人工智能使用深度增强学习算法来计算交通灯的最佳切换行为，并确定最佳相位序列，以缩短十字路口的等待时间。)”可推断，德国研究人员在KI4LSA项目中使用AI是为了使用深度增强学习算法来计算交通灯的最佳切换行为，并确定最佳相位序列，以缩短十字路口的等待时间，从而确保十字路口的交通效率。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The results are encouraging when it is being tried out at a busy intersection in Lemgo, Germany. The intelligent lights are said to improve traffic flow by 10 to 15 percent, which results in money saved; the EU estimates that traffic jams create economic damage that adds up to 100 billion euros a year.(当它在德国莱姆戈一个繁忙的十字路口试用时，结果令人鼓舞。据说，智能交通灯可以使交通流量改善10%到15%，从而节省资金；欧盟估计，交通堵塞每年造成的经济损失总计达1000亿欧元。)”可知，交通流量改善得越好，造成的经济损失越少。
26．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Another exciting development in this research is the K14PED project, which studies pedestrians crossing the crossroads. Using AI as well as a 3D points cloud, researchers can identify how many people are waiting at a pedestrian crossing and whether some of the disabled or elder people will need extra time to cross the street. Such a needs-based system could reduce pedestrian waiting time by 30 percent, which could then decrease jaywalking(乱穿马路)by 25 percent.(这项研究的另一个令人兴奋的进展是K14PED项目，该项目研究过十字路口的行人。利用人工智能和3D点云，研究人员可以确定有多少人在人行横道上等待，以及是否有一些残疾人或老年人需要额外的时间过马路。这种基于需求的系统可以将行人等待时间减少30%，从而减少25%的乱穿马路现象。)”可知，K14PED项目可以将行人等待时间减少30%，从而减少25%的乱穿马路现象。由此可知，该项目可以调整行人等待的时间，从而保证行人通过的效率。
27．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Commuting to and from work can be a nightmare. Cars advance slowly in stop and go traffic, crawling from one traffic jam at stoplights to the next. At peak rush hour especially, there is no chance of sailing through a series of green lights. Now, thanks to artificial intelligence, German researchers have found a way to reduce time spent at the crossroads.(上下班通勤可能是一场噩梦。汽车在走走停停的交通中缓慢前进，从一个交通堵塞的红绿灯爬到下一个。特别是在高峰时间，没有机会通过一连串的绿灯。现在，多亏了人工智能，德国研究人员找到了一种减少在十字路口花费时间的方法。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了德国研究人员通过人工智能技术，对交通信号灯进行改进，以提高交通流量和减少等待时间，也就是智能交通灯给交通带来了福音。
28．B 29．C 30．B 31．C
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了温度、食物等影响海洋哺乳动物体型大小的因素。
28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But to William Gearty from Stanford University, the ocean makes mammals so big not because it relieves them of limits, but because it sets new ones.(但对于斯坦福大学的William Gearty来说，海洋让哺乳动物变得如此庞大，不是因为它解除了它们的限制，而是因为它设定了新的限制)”可知，Gearty认为海洋限制了海洋哺乳动物的体型。
29．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Therefore, the need to stay warm sets a floor for the body size, while the need to eat sets a ceiling.(因此，保暖的需要为身体大小设定了一个下限，而食物则为身体大小设定了一个上限)”可知，海洋动物体型最大能有多少，取决于食物供给。
30．词句猜测题。根据文章第五段最后一句“Around 3 million years ago, a combination of changes to glaciers (冰川), winds, and currents created a large increase of nutrients in coastal waters, which then fed lots of shrimps and small fish-potential prey (猎物) for whales.(大约300万年前，冰川、风和洋流的综合变化使沿海水域的营养物质大量增加，从而喂养了大量的虾和小鱼——鲸鱼可能的猎物)”可知，鲸鱼体型巨大的原因是很多条件共同作用下的食物充裕，提到了“large increase of nutrients(营养物质大量增加)”，而本段在讲这些营养物质分布不均匀。所以bonanzas指代是上文中的“虾和小鱼”。
31．推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了温度、食物等影响海洋哺乳动物体型大小的因素。所以本文的目的是来解释是什么影响了海洋哺乳动物的体型。
32．C 33．D 34．C 35．A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了人们哀悼离世艺术界名流这一现象并分析其背后的原因。
32．推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the past few months, grief has coursed around the internet for Milan Kundera, and most recently, Michael Gambon. If you stop to think about it, such expressions of strong feelings for writers and actors are odd, even irrational.(在过去的几个月里，米兰·昆德拉(Milan Kundera)和迈克尔·甘本(Michael Gambon)的悲痛传遍了互联网。如果你停下来想一想，这种对作家和演员的强烈感情的表达是奇怪的，甚至是非理性的)”可推知，作者在第2段提到了米兰·昆德拉和迈克尔·甘本是为了引出“人们对名人的哀悼似乎是奇怪和非理性的”这一观点。故选C项。
33．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“And while most ordinary people sink into oblivion, these celebrities live on in their output.(尽管大多数普通人sink into oblivion，这些名人却在他们的作品中活了下来)”中连词“while”可知，句中上下文是转折关系，与下文中“live on in their output”相对应，名人“在他们的作品中活了下来”，普通人“逐渐被人们遗忘”。故选D项。
34．细节理解题。根据第五段中“Part of your past — the years in which the musician was the soundtrack, the writer your ally (盟友) — can seem to fade away with them. The grief can be seen as a form of gratitude for the harmony and joy they supplie.(你过去的一部分——在那些年，音乐家是你的配乐，作家是你的盟友——似乎会随着他们一起消逝。悲伤可以被看作是对他们所提供的平静与快乐的一种感激)”可知，人们对名人的去世感到悲伤，因为他们曾经从名人的作品中得到了精神上的滋养。故选C项。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“More importantly, the passing of an artist is an occasion for exchanges of ideas. In an atomized age, in which the default (默认) tone is critical, a beloved figure’s death is a chance to share positive feelings and memories with fellow admirers.(更重要的是，一个艺术家的去世是一个交流思想的机会。在一个原子化的，默认的语气是批判的时代，一个深受爱戴的人的死亡是一个与其他崇拜者分享积极的感受和回忆的机会)”可知，作者认为名人的离世和公众悼念提供了交流思想的机会和分享积极的感受和回忆的机会，所以作者对悼念名人持支持的态度。故选A项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。自先秦以来，成都一直是中国重要的文化名城。但真正使这座城市在文化上与众不同的是它的川剧。本文主要介绍了川剧的一个重要方面——变脸。
56．考查动词的时态。句意：自先秦以来，成都一直是中国重要的文化名城。分析句子可知，空格处应填入谓语动词。根据句中时间状语Since the pre-Qin period可知，此处应用现在完成时态。故填has been
57．考查主语从句。句意：但真正使这座城市在文化上与众不同的是它的歌剧。分析句子可知，空格处应填入主语从句的引导词。分析句子结构，该引导词在主语从句中作主语，指物，故用连接代词what引导。故填what。
58．考查冠词。句意：川剧的一个重要方面是“变脸”的魔力，色彩鲜艳的面具在眨眼之间就变了。根据空后of “face changing”可知，此处特指“变脸的魔力”，故用定冠词the。故填the。
59．考查现在分词。句意：在镇上的戏院和茶馆里，想要一窥当地文化的观众喜欢一边喝茶，一边听川剧，看着变脸。分析句子可知，空格处应填入非谓语动词作定语。被修饰名词audiences与want是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词。故填wanting。
60．考查名词。句意：早期人类需要生存策略来躲避凶猛的动物和外来入侵者。根据空格前的 fierce animals可知，此处应填名词与 fierce animals并列作宾语，根据句意，此处指“侵略者”，应用 invade的名词形式invader，且用复数形式。故填invaders。
61．考查动词不定式。句意：据说川剧将这种情绪带到了舞台上。“sb./sth.be said +动词不定式”是固定结构，意为“据说……”，此处既可用动词不定式的一般式陈述事实，也可以用不定式的完成式强调动作发生在谓语动词is said之前。故填to have brought/to bring。

76．Then suddenly it was kids’ turn to make the last tier. Tightly gripping the clothing of those we were climbing over, we passed the first two tiers without difficulty. By the time I reached the fourth tier, nerves made my hands sweat and my knees tremble, for I was very high off the ground. As I climbed onto my mother’s shoulders, my foot slipped off and I slid down. Instinctively, I clutched Mom’s arm with all my might. Feeling the tower below swaying a bit, my heart began a crazy dance in my chest. “Stay focus!” Exclaimed a kid beside me. Sweat trickling down my face, I took a deep breath to calm myself. I could not be responsible for ruining our tower. I could not disgrace my parents or myself. I could not let my team down.
“Jordi. Easy!” My mother whispered the words. I calmed my heart and again placed my foot on Mom’s lap. This time, I grasped her shirt and firmly pushed myself to a stand, balancing on one foot. With the other foot, I stepped up and onto her shoulders, and then brought the other foot up. Reaching deep inside to feel my balance, with focus and trust, I rose slowly out of my crouch and straightened my knees. I worked hard to hold myself straight and still until our tower was complete. Whether or not we won this competition, I knew we had done what we had set out to do. With faith in each other and with focus on the task, we built our tower. Eventually, I became a casteller!
