一、阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
A
An Australian professor is developing a robot to monitor the health of grazing cattle, a development that could bring big changes to a profession that's relied largely on a lowtech approach for decades but is facing a labor shortage.
Salah Sukkarieh, a professor at the University of Sydney, sees robots as necessary given how cattlemen are aging. He is building a fourwheeled robot that will run on solar and electric power. It will use cameras and sensors to monitor the animals. A computer system will analyze the video to determine whether a cow is sick. Radio tags (标签) on the animals will measure temperature changes. The quality of grassland will be tracked by monitoring the shape, color and texture (质地) of grass. That way, cattlemen will know whether they need to move their cattle to another field for nutrition purposes.
Machines have largely taken over planting, watering and harvesting crops such as corn and wheat, but the monitoring of cattle has gone through fewer changes.
For Texas cattleman Pete Bonds, it's increasingly difficult to find workers interested in watching cattle. But Bonds doesn't believe a robot is right for the job. Years of experience in the industry — and failed attempts to use technology — have convinced him that the best way to check cattle is with a man on a horse. Bonds, who bought his first cattle almost 50 years ago, still has each of his cowboys inspect 300 or 400 cattle daily and look for signs that an animal is getting sick.
Other cattlemen see more promise in robots. Michael Kelsey Paris, vice president of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association, said a robot could be extremely useful given rising concerns about cattle theft. Cattle tend to be kept in remote places and their value has risen, making them appealing targets.
1. What is a problem with the cattleraising industry
A．Soil pollution.
B．Lack of workers.
C．Aging machines.
D．Low profitability.
2. What will Sukkarieh's robot be able to do
A．Monitor the quality of grass.
B．Cure the diseased cattle.
C．Move cattle to another field.
D．Predict weather changes.
3. Why does Pete Bonds still hire cowboys to watch cattle
A．He wants to help them earn a living.
B．He thinks men can do the job better.
C．He is inexperienced in using robots.
D．He enjoys the traditional way of life.
4. How may robots help with cattle watching according to Michael Kelsey
A．Increase the value of cattle.
B．Bring down the cost of labor.
C．Make the job more appealing.
D．Keep cattle from being stolen.
B
Since the growth of online streaming services like Netflix, subtitling (加字幕) has become something of an art.
Subtitles started out as an accessibility feature for deaf audiences, and to translate foreign language films into your own. Of course, it’s not just deaf audiences that subtitles help. The translated subtitles of foreign films are great for learning languages, letting you read and hear how it’s pronounced at the same time. Movie subtitles are written ahead of time, but subtitling for live TV has to be done in the moment as the person is speaking, so mistakes are likely to happen. But because subtitles can be everything, from monster squelches (扑哧声) to bombs exploding, it’s a great way to learn many things, such as new adjectives.
Subtitler Karli Witkowska explained how her choice of adjective creates emotion for the audience. Karli belongs to a team of subtitlers who try to make their descriptions as close as possible to the sounds they hear. Karli bases her descriptions on the film’s type. The sound effects needed for a thriller like Strange Thingscreaking (吱嘎) stairs and sudden screamsare very different from the sounds used in historical period dramas. This influences the adjective Karli chooses to describe a sound. For example, lighthearted and cheerful music might be described as jauntyfull of energy and confidence.
Another time, her team found exactly the right expression “gobsmacked silence”. In this scene, the characters were about to gasptake in a short, sudden, and quick breath of air without speech or sound in the scene, you are able to tell people that atmosphere. “So when my colleague came up with that one, I definitely gave him a big thumbup”, she said.
In fact, the phrase “gobsmacked silence” is so good that it goes viral (走红) and is being used in all kinds of situations.
5. What does the writer want to convey about subtitling in Paragraph 2
A．It helps solve learning problems.
B．It helps people to stay concentrated.
C．It can be important and challenging.
D．It improves ability of understanding.
6. Which emotion does “gobsmacked silence” possibly express
A．Sad.
B．Hopeful.
C．Disappointed.
D．Surprised.
7. What does Karli think of her teammate’s work
A．It needs improving.
B．It’s well done.
C．It makes her speechless.
D．It’s very popular.
8. Which of the following statement will Karli possibly agree with
A．Subtitling is difficult but fashionable.
B．Subtitlers are often some strange persons.
C．Subtitlers are those who create new words.
D．Subtitling involves translating sounds accurately.
C
Keeping a language alive can strengthen people’s sense of identity and most importantly lead to the preservation of a whole culture. This is probably why a group of Cherokee music artists decided to create a music album (唱片) exclusively in the Cherokee language, a highly endangered Native American language. Currently, there are fewer than 2,000 fluent speakers of the language remaining in the world, and the number is declining every year.
The album, tilted DOAP oaV and pronounced ‘Ah’ ‘Nuh’ ‘Duh’ ‘Nah’ ‘Lees’ ‘Gi’, means “Performers” in English. It is comprised of a range of contemporary styles, including Pop, Reggae, Country, Heavy Metal, Hip Hop, and Folk. With a planned release date of Labor Day weekend, the record company is using the platform of the National Cherokee Holiday to give this album as much exposure as possible.
Jeremy Charles, a key figure in getting this album off the ground, has said that the “music will shine a spotlight on Cherokee artists and speakers, and increase exposure to our culture and language worldwide”. He aims for the album to be an inspiration to the next generation of Cherokee language learners. Featuring 12 Cherokee artists ranging from ages 14 to 50, you can see how this album is going to do a lot for the promotion of Cherokee music and can inspire people of any age to make music that connects with their heritage (遗产).
The youngest contributor on the album, Lillian Charles, is only in 8th grade but had a major contribution to the Gothpop song “Circus”—a song she wrote at the age of 12. It originally written in English, she worked with translators Bobbie Smith and Kathy Sierra to be able to fully express herself in Cherokee.
Projects like the DOOAP oaV album bring a modern approach to revitalizing language and culture and encourage a younger audience, to get involved and start learning the Cherokee language. On average, a native language is lost forever every two weeks, and these people want to make sure that the Cherokee language isn’t one of them.
9. What can we learn about the album from paragraph 2
A．It has various musical styles.
B．It is titled Performers in English.
C．It sings high praise of Labor Day.
D．It was exposed to the public by chance.
10. What’s Jeremy Charles’s expectation of the album
A．It will make a huge profit for the record company.
B．It can help the 12 artists rise to fame overnight.
C．It will satisfy the fans’ demand for pop music.
D．It can fuel the youth’s interest in Cherokee language.
11. Which can best replace the underlined word “revitalizing” in the last paragraph
A．Translating.
B．Reviewing.
C．Restoring.
D．Creating.
12. What’s the best title of the text
A．Alarming! The Cherokee Language is Dying
B．Amazing! An 8th Grader is Releasing an Album
C．Bringing Music to Life with Modern Technology
D．Preserving a Language Through the Power of Music
D
When Martin Roth started as a forest ranger in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest to ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest serve as testing ground for hightech solutions, earning him the nickname “digital forest ranger.”
After a severe storm, the clock starts ticking: Damaged trees should be removed before the arrival of bark beetles, which grow in dead trees and can destroy entire forests. While it once took Roth about 2.5 hours to cover an acre on foot, drones (无人机) now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in several days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, inform owners of affected plots, and send updates to workers.
Roth’s exploration goes beyond drones. His recent project is combining body camera with AI. “Usually you mark the trees, they’re cut down, and you have no idea how much wood you’ll get, what quality, and which species,” he explains. AI now “sees” through his body cam, recognizes tree species, estimates wood production, and sends realtime information to his phone.
Since up to half of European tree species are unsuited to rising temperatures and extended dry periods, Roth has also begun experimenting with new species, planting them in small groups and keeping track of them in his system. As forest areas expand, interventions are needed, but there aren’t enough employees to keep it all straight. “Either I know it, or the computer knows it, or no one knows it and it’s lost,” he says.
Roth’s expertise in tackling the challenges of modern forestry with technology is increasingly sought after—colleagues reach out for advice, and he lectures on the topic at universities. But he warns that technology can never replace a wander through the forest: “I should never believe that the digital twin is reality. I always have to do a reality check.”
13. What was Roth’s job when he started his career
A．Sustaining forest health.
B．Predicting the forest’s future.
C．Managing disasters.
D．Seeking hightech solutions.
14. What does Roth use drones to do
A．Identify dead tree species.
B．Remove harmful insects.
C．Collect data of forest damage.
D．Inform owners of their loss.
15. What point is Roth trying to make with his words in paragraph 4
A．Forests are a cure for climate change.
B．Experienced workers are in great need.
C．Forest expansion is successfully controlled.
D．Technology is key to tracking forest information.
16. Why does Roth warn about the use of technology in forestry
A．It may replace human workers.
B．It may need too much checking.
C．It may provide false information.
D．It may deny chances of forest walks.

Abanazar flew to the palace and plotted his dirty plans. For the next week Abanazar watched Aladdin’s palace until Aladdin and his friends left the palace to go hunting in the hills one day.
Abanazar passed off himself as an old man, selling lamps in the street. “But not for money.” a slavegirl reported to the princess, “the old man said, ‘New lamps for old. Give me an old lamp and you can have a new one’. So every body’s getting a new lamp.”
“Yes, my husband’s old lamp! Go and give it to the old man”, the princess knew nothing about the lamp and its magic, “ Aladdin will be happy to have a nice new lamp!”

Family Education Shapes Me
Dear teachers and friends,
I’m glad to deliver my speech here. Family education plays an important role in my growth.
My parents always treat me patiently. Instead of forcing me to do things, they guide me to think independently and respect others. Whenever I meet difficulties, they encourage me rather than blame me.
From them, I learn to be brave, honest and responsible. Good family education shapes who I am. Thank you!

Para 1. Abanazar just couldn’t wait to rub the lamp. Hardly had he rubbed it when the jinnee appeared. “I am the slave of the lamp. What is your wish, master ” Abanazar ordered the jinnee to send him and the whole palace to Morocco right away. In no time, the palace disappeared, leaving nothing on the spot. When Aladdin returned from hunting, he was shocked to find his palace gone. He noticed the seven magic stones left by Abanazar. Without hesitation, he picked them up and made a wish to go to where his palace was.
Para 2. It was many,many miles from Arabia to Morocco,but Aladdin was there in a second. He sneaked into the palace quietly and found the princess. The princess told him the whole story. Aladdin made a clever plan. He tricked Abanazar and got the magic lamp back. He rubbed the lamp and ordered the jinnee to send them back home. Finally, Abanazar got punished. Aladdin and the princess lived happily once again.
