24、“Track!” said my master.
Like any good tracker-dog who has received the command(命令) he most loves, I gave a bark of excitement, put my nose down to the ground and sniffed. The ground was rich with smells. Even in the high-class housing area where we were working, the stones held traces of many sole and confusing scents (smells). As I searched for the scent that would give me a clue to the tail of the guilty man, my tail wagged slowly, thoughtfully, delightedly. Work was like play to me; I enjoyed it.
A small group of people gathered behind us. Among these onlookers was the old caretaker of the building next door to ours. He spoke in a scornful voice, “You actually think your dog might catch a thief three days after the event?” My master said nothing, but I'm sure he must have smiled. I did not turn to look. I knew he would not speak unless it was to give me a new command.
I needed to concentrate. My task was difficult. I had to pick out one scent among the many that lay about and then tracked it to its source.
“You're wasting your time,” said the caretaker. I looked at him without raising my head. He was running his hand over his fat stomach. His rough palm and smooth shirt combined to make a slight noise. It was part of my training to be aware—often it is only a little whisper of a noise that alerts(提醒)you to be drawing of a weapon. But of course the aging caretaker was going to do no such thing. There was no smell of fear or nervousness about him. He was merely being clever and talkative.
“I've seen many tracker-dogs in my time,” said the caretaker to the onlookers. I served with the police years ago. We would never have thought of using a tracker-dog to find a car thief. Impossible. Everyone knows that dogs are useless in such matters.
In a sense he was right. I'm sure there's no need to tell you that, just as a dog's hearing is much better than a human being's, so his sense of smell tells one thing from another far better than a great detective. If Sherlock Holmes could work out that a man had had an egg for breakfast by seeing the yellow stain on his mouth, a trained dog could tell you whether the hen that laid the egg was healthy or not.
I know it sounds funny and I mean it to be. But I'm not exaggerating. A dog can tell you—if you understand a dog’s way of communicating—all this and more without even setting eyes on the man he is investigating.
【1】Who do you think the dog was tracking?
A.The thief. B.The caretaker.
C.The master. D.The onlookers.
【2】How did the dog react to the command to track?
A.It thought for a while and did what was asked.
B.It was happy, even though it wasn't trained for the task.
C.It was angry because there were so many smells.
D.It was excited because it took pleasure in tracking.
【3】In the dog's opinion, its sense of smell ________.
A.can give us fewer details about what a human has already discovered
B.can achieve more than what a human's only if the smell is not hidden
C.is particularly trained to pick out one scent among hundreds
D.is better than its sense of hearing when it does tracking
【4】According to the passage, the dog is ________.
A.honest and hopeful B.smart and helpful
C.kind and careful D.popular and thoughtful

26、People often use their phones to take pictures of their meals—especially fancy(华丽的)ones—to share online. But Clear Plate, a WeChat mini-program, encourages you to take pictures of your empty plates after a meal. The program’s AI(智能)“sees” that your plates are empty and gives you points. You can use these points to buy yourself gifts or give away the points to buy meals for children in poor areas.
The program was developed by Liu Jichen, 23, a student at Tsinghua University. Liu came up with the idea in 2017. “Technology is a good way to cut down food waste,” said Liu. He put together a 20-member team to work on the program. To teach the program’s Al how to recognize(辨别)empty plates, the team spent half a year collecting100,000 photos from restaurants in 10 cities.
The team also started a campaign called Clear Your Plate in Chinese universities in 2018. Students compete against each other to see who can get those most points in Clear Plate. Now in its third year, the one-month campaign has reached 1, 017 schools. In 2020, almost 16 million people took part in it, cutting down food waste by 862 tons and carbon emissions(排放)by 3, 337 tons.
Thanks to his work, Liu was chosen as one of the United Nations’ 2020 Class of Young Leaders for the Sustainable Development Goals(可持续发展目标). “We hope our efforts can encourage young people to cherish(珍惜)the food and save the food,” Liu said.

27、The year of the Dragon will begin on February 10, 2024. The Dragon is the fifth sign of the Chinese Zodiac (生肖). Dragons are not real animals. Chinese dragons can fly in the sky or swim in the sea. In stories, dragons rule over water, rainfall, wind and flood.
The Chinese dragon is a symbol of strength and good luck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of yellow dragons. The dragon is very important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people are proud to call ourselves “the descendants (传人) of the dragon”. A number of Chinese sayings refer to dragons. For example, “Hoping one’s child will become a dragon”, which means hoping he or she will be successful.
Unlike in China, dragons are seen differently in Western countries. Western dragons often look like dinosaurs. They breathe fire and catch people. It is a common fairy tale about a man who becomes a hero after killing a dragon and saving a princess. In the English movie How to Train Your Dragon (《 驯龙记》), a little boy becomes much braver by killing some bad dragons. In one of the Harry Potter stories, Harry Potter has to fight against a scary dragon and get back the golden egg from its nest.
Because of this, some Chinese experts have suggested changing the English word “Dragon” into its pinyin “Long”. They believe the name “Dragon” makes Western people think badly about China. But some don’t agree. They think Chinese people can look after their own culture. Many Western people already know the differences between Chinese dragons and Western ones.
【1】Which power of dragons is NOT mentioned in Chinese stories?
A.They can fly in the sky.
B.They can swim in the sea.
C.They can rule water and wind.
D.They can catch and eat people.
【2】What does the sentence “Hoping one’s child will become a dragon” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?
A.龙马精神
B.龙飞凤舞
C.望子成龙
D.龙腾虎跃
【3】Who can be called as “a hero” in Western fairy tales?
A.A man who can train a dog.
B.A man who can get an egg.
C.A man who can breathe fire.
D.A man who can kill a dragon.
【4】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.There are many Chinese sayings about dragons.
B.The Dragon is the first sign of the Chinese Zodiac.
C.Harry Potter becomes much braver by killing some bad dragons.
D.Emperors in China liked wearing clothes with red dragon pictures.
【5】Why do Chinese experts suggest changing “Dragon” into Chinese pinyin “Long”?
A.Because Chinese are proud of their own pinyin.
B.Because dragon makes Western people think highly of China.
C.Because Western people know nothing about Chinese culture.
D.Because “Dragon” in Western countries doesn’t carry the same cultural meanings as in China.
