Once upon a time, there were four seeds(种子). They were good friends. They travelled by wind and came to a forest. They hid themselves in the ground, and hoped that they would be able to grow into big trees.
But when the first seed began to grow, they realized it wouldn't be such an easy thing. There lived a group of monkeys, and the smallest monkeys loved to throw bananas at any plant that started to grow. They threw so many bananas at the first seed that she was almost cut into two. When she told the other seeds what happened, they thought that it would be better to wait until the monkeys went away.
They all agreed with that, except the first seed. She thought she should try it again. When she tried, she was hurt by bananas. The other seeds asked her to stop trying, but she had made up her mind to become a tree. She tried again and again. Every time she was hit by bananas, she would try harder. The scars(疤痕) left by the bananas helped her grow stronger than the other seeds. Later, she could withstand(经受住) the hit of bananas. She had already grown so well that monkeys couldn't hurt her badly.
At last, she grew into the biggest tree in the forest. The other seeds still hid themselves in the ground, hoping the monkeys would go away soon.

Animals are people's good friends. Many people hope to talk with their pets in everyday life. This may sound too good to be true, but scientists are now using AI to help make this dream come true.
Karen Bakker, a teacher at the University of British Columbia in Canada, believes that AI will bring humans(人类) closer to the world of animals and plants in the future. "AI helps humans talk with bats and bees," Bakker said. How does it work
When bats talk with each other, scientists first record their sounds and input(输入) them into a computer. Then, they use AI to find out what the bats say and try to speak back to them. Humans cannot hear these sounds with their own ears, but AI makes it possible for us to understand and "speak" back to the bats by training a computer to "speak" like a bat.
Scientists also found an interesting fact: When baby bats start to learn to "speak", mother bats often lower(降低) their voices. However, human mothers often raise their voices during this time.
As for bees, scientists use a computer to both listen to and watch them in order to study their language. Scientists now know how bees send messages like "stop". They even made a robot bee that can talk with other bees.
　（B）26. What does the underlined word "This" refer to
　　　　A. Keeping pets.　　B. Talking with pets.
　　　　C. Using AI to help animals.　　D. Making friends with animals.
　（C）27. 新考向·概括段落大意　What's the third paragraph mainly about
　　　　A. How bats talk to each other.
　　　　B. Why people hope to talk with bats.
　　　　C. How people use AI to talk with bats.
　　　　D. Why humans can't hear the bats' sounds with their own ears.
　（D）28. What do we know about mother bats
　　　　A. They never talk with their babies.
　　　　B. They are good at looking after babies.
　　　　C. They act the same way as human mothers do.
　　　　D. They often talk to their babies in a lower voice.
　（A）29. 新考向·篇章结构　Which is the right structure of the passage (①=Paragraph 1　②=Paragraph 2, …)
　（D）30. 新考向·写作目的　Why does the writer write the passage
　　　　A. To advise us to use AI to talk with bees and bats.
　　　　B. To tell us an interesting talk between bees and bats.
　　　　C. To show us the scientists' care for the bees and bats.
　　　　D. To show us how scientists use AI to talk with bees and bats.
第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文，从方框内所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。（选项中有一项多余）
　　A. In fact, the name "killer whales" is a little unfair.
　　B. The animal you see is black and white, like a cow.
　　C. And it is very uncommon to see one swimming alone.
　　D. Maybe we can't believe they will appear in aquariums.
　　E. He never joined a pod and spent the last few years of his life alone.
　　F. Many people disagree with keeping them in these conditions and believe it's wrong.
Imagine sitting in a boat in the ocean. The sky is blue, the sun is hot, and the water is clear. Suddenly, you notice something moving in the water, so you stand up to get a closer look. 31. B And it's a fast swimmer. It jumps out of the water and then it's gone. You've just seen an orca(虎鲸)!
Orcas, also called killer whales, live in every ocean on the earth. 32. A Firstly, orcas are not really whales. They're in fact the largest member of the dolphin family. Secondly, they are usually harmless(无害的) to humans.
Orcas are quite playful. They live in groups called "pods", with between 5 and 30 orcas, for their whole lives. 33. C The orcas' friendly nature is very useful for finding food. Orcas hunt in their pods and then work together to kill.
There are about 40 orcas in aquariums(水族馆) all over the world. 34. F The most famous orca, Keiko, who appeared in the film Free Willy, was in an aquarium. Later scientists tried to help him go back to the wild. They were successful. Keiko became much healthier when he came back to the sea. However, Keiko liked humans more than other orcas. 35. E This is orcas' life. Maybe we should do something to care and protect them.
三、短文填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
阅读短文，从方框中选出恰当的单词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意义完整。每空仅填一词，每词仅用一次。
　　clear　　want　　feeling　　if　　how　　friend　　usually　　understand　　similar　　it
Humans are just like any other kind of animals. Animals show their 36. feelings with their faces and bodies. 37. If they show their teeth and raise their backs, they're angry. Humans do many of these things, too. You can 38. usually tell whether someone is happy, angry or worried when you look at them. We do not always need words because body language is often 39. clear.
We can look at our pets to see 40. how close animal and human body languages are. When a cat is feeling confident(自信的), it will stand very tall and put 41. its nose into the air. Humans do the same thing when they're feeling proud(骄傲的).
Monkeys are very 42. similar to humans. For example, children often put their hands together when they 43. want something. Monkeys use the same gesture(姿势) as a way to ask for food from other members of their group. As a greeting, monkeys touch their 44. friends' hands. It's similar to the way we shake hands.
So you see, we can learn a lot about us by 45. understanding animal gestures.

It is healthy to live around trees. Trees work as doctors and they keep us healthy.
Living near trees is good for our health in many ways. Acting as natural doctors, trees not only produce fresh oxygen and take in harmful gases, but also lower our stress. They are our true health protectors.
Many scientists have studied how trees clean the air. For people in large cities, trees can be very important for their health. These days, cities are planting trees not just in parks. They are also planting trees along streets in order to help clean the air.
Some scientists also believe trees help more than just the air. Trees keep our bodies healthy as well. People in hospitals seem to do better when they can see trees from their rooms. People with trees near their homes usually take more exercise.
Scientists have also studied the healthy effects(影响) of trees on our minds. One effect of trees seems to be that they make people feel relaxed. Scientists did some research on city people in an area with few trees. After trees were planted on the street, people walked slower when going home. They said the area was much nicer.

Dear Henry,
How is everything going I like wild animals very much. I want to invite you to study my favourite animal with me.
My favourite wild animal is tigers. Some of them live in Northeast China. I like tigers because they are big and strong. They like to live alone. They can run fast, but only for a short while. They can swim and climb.
We can take some water when visiting them, because it takes hours to watch them. Don't forget to take a pair of binoculars to help us see them clearly.
Sadly, tigers are in danger. We can make some posters to let others know the importance of protecting them.
I will be very happy if you can join me. Look forward to seeing you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

It is healthy to live around trees. Trees work as doctors and they keep us healthy.
Living near trees is good for our health in many ways. Acting as natural doctors, trees not only produce fresh oxygen and take in harmful gases, but also lower our stress. They are our true health protectors.
Many scientists have studied how trees clean the air. For people in large cities, trees can be very important for their health. These days, cities are planting trees not just in parks. They are also planting trees along streets in order to help clean the air.
Some scientists also believe trees help more than just the air. Trees keep our bodies healthy as well. People in hospitals seem to do better when they can see trees from their rooms. People with trees near their homes usually take more exercise.
Scientists have also studied the healthy effects(影响) of trees on our minds. One effect of trees seems to be that they make people feel relaxed. Scientists did some research on city people in an area with few trees. After trees were planted on the street, people walked slower when going home. They said the area was much nicer.

Dear Henry,
How is everything going I like wild animals very much. I want to invite you to study my favourite animal with me.
My favourite wild animal is tigers. Some of them live in Northeast China. I like tigers because they are big and strong. They like to live alone. They can run fast, but only for a short while. They can swim and climb.
We can take some water when visiting them, because it takes hours to watch them. Don't forget to take a pair of binoculars to help us see them clearly.
Sadly, tigers are in danger. We can make some posters to let others know the importance of protecting them.
I will be very happy if you can join me. Look forward to seeing you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
