21、New technological tools are enabling a global community of biologists and amateur scientists to explore the natural world of sound in richer detail and at greater range than ever before. Just as microscopes helped humans observe things not visible to the naked eye, widely used microphones and machine learning models allow us to listen to sounds we cannot otherwise hear.
Billions of dollars are pouring into so-called generative artificial intelligence, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, with scores of new companies being launched to commercialize these foundation models. But in one sense, these models are mostly used to rearrange existing human knowledge in new combinations rather than to generate anything really new. What may have a bigger scientific impact is “additive AI”, using machine learning to explore specific, newly created data sets and extend the frontiers of human knowledge. When it comes to sonic (声音的) data, there is an incredible potential for cross-species communication through the use of machines that can translate and copy animal sounds exactly, effectively creating a “Google Translate for the zoo”.
This sonic revolution has been promoted by advances in both hardware and software. Cheap, durable, long-lasting microphones and sensors can be attached to trees in the Amazon, rocks in the Arctic or to dolphins’ backs, enabling real-time monitoring. That stream of sonic data is then processed by “additive AI”. However, this data only makes sense when combined with human observations about natural behaviors gained from painstaking fieldwork by biologists or crowdsourced analysis from amateurs.
Scientists have discovered fascinating information about the sonic universe, which has already led to practical and commercial outcomes. For example, cryptographers (密码专家) have been studying the buzzes, clicks, creaks and squeaks of whales to understand whether their “bionic Morse code” could be copied to encrypt (加密) communications. However, this is just the beginning of our exploration of sound, and there is no telling what other discoveries await us.
【1】Why does the author mention microscopes in paragraph 1?
A．To highlight the popularity of microscopes.
B．To illustrate the role of sound exploration tools.
C．To show the development of scientific instruments.
D．To stress the importance of observing beyond senses.
【2】How may “additive AI” assist in sound exploration?
A．It may make sense of natural behaviors independently.
B．It may guarantee the real-time monitoring of sonic data.
C．It may help create translation equipment for animal sounds.
D．It may help spread the existing human knowledge of sound.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards sound exploration?
A．Optimistic.
B．Reserved.
C．Critical.
D．Indifferent
【4】What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Sonic Revolution: Discovering New Sounds
B．Sonic Translation: Inter-species Communication
C．Additive AI: Extending the Frontiers of Knowledge
D．Sonic Exploration with AI: Listening to the Unheard
22、 As of October, President Donald Trump's administration announced that the gray wolf would be removed from the U.S. Endangered Species List.
Once abundant across most of North America, gray wolves went nearly extinct due to poisoning, hunting, and trapping, as human settlements expanded across the continent. At one point, hunters were awarded for killing gray wolves which were seen as threats to animals on rural ranches（牧场）and farms.
In the 1970s, as gray wolf populations continued to dwindle, the U.S. government took protective action, listing the animals as endangered. In 1995 and 1996, the government reintroduced gray wolves in Idaho and Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park. From these locations, gray wolf populations expanded to northern California, Oregon, Montana, and Washington State. As of today, according to data from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the total gray wolf population stands at 6000.
However, environmentalists have strongly criticized the gray wolfs removal from the Endangered Species list. They view the decision as premature and potentially hurtful to wolves, who have not yet gained a strong foothold in many ecosystems.
Colorado, a former reserve for gray wolves, has narrowly passed a vote to reintroduce gray wolves in the state's forests and mountain ranges. Wolf supporters and conservationists connect the animals' benefits with the environment. Gray wolves help maintain healthy elk and deer populations and help limit overgrazing, which can lead to soil erosion. Wolf opponents, on the other hand, fear increased livestock deaths and greater risk to farmers and rangers in rural areas because hunting and livestock raising arc among the biggest careers in western states.
【1】What can be learned from the text?
A.Human activities once caused a decrease in gray wolf populations.
B.Hunters who kill gray wolves will be awarded by the government.
C.In the 1990s most of the gray wolves in America lived in preserves.
D.Environmentalists think the government's new decision is sensible.
【2】What does the underlined word "dwindle" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Multiply. B.Disappear.
C.Decline. D.Expand.
【3】Which can best describe Coloradans' attitudes to bringing in gray wolves?
A.Indifferent. B.Contradictory.
C.Ridiculous. D.Unconcerned.
【4】What's the main idea of the text?
A.Gray wolf populations have grown steadily.
B.Gray wolves play a key role in a balanced ecosystem.
C.Gray wolves experienced rise and fall in American history.
D.Gray wolves will be removed from the Endangered Species List.

Mars( 火星) appears to be flowing with small streams of salty water, at least in the summer, scientists reported Monday．"It suggests that．it would be possible for there to be life today on Mars," NASA's science mission chief, John Grunsfeld, said at a news conference on September 28, 2015．
The streams are about 12 to 15 feet wide and 300 feet or more long, scientists said．"What we're dealing with is wet soil．thin layers of wet soil, not standing water," said Aifred McEwen of the University of Arizona at Tueson ! the principal scientist for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's high-resolution imaging experiment．
Because liquid water is essential to life, the findings could have major implications for the possibility of Martian life．The researchers said further exploration is needed to determine whether microscopic life exists on the planet．
The presence of liquid water could also make life easier for astronauts visiting or
living on Mars．Water could be used for drinking and for creating oxygen and rocket
fuel．NASA's goal is to send humans there in the 2030s．
The evidence of flowing water consists largely of dark, narrow streaks(条痕) on
the surface that tend to appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and fade
the rest of the year．
Mars is extremely cold even in summer, and the streaks are in places where the
temperature is as low as minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit．But salt can lower the freezing point of water and melt ice．
The source of the water is a mystery．Scientists noted it could be melting
ice．It could be an underground aquifer, which is rock or sand that can hold water．It is possibly water vapor from the thin Martian atmosphere, Or it may be a combination Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Mars exploration program, said the only definitive way for now to determine whether there's life on Mars is to collect rocks and soil for analysis on Earth - something a U．S．lander set for lift-off in 2020 will do．
【1】What would be the best title for the text? '
A．Streams of Water Spotted on Mars
B．Astronauts will Land on Mars
C．NASA's Mars Exploration Program
D．A Breakthrough in the Exploration of Mars
【2】According to John Grunsfeld, there seems to be on Mars．
A．salty water
B．standing water
C．rocket fuel
D．human beings
【3】Scientists are uncertain about the of the water on Mars．
A．state
B．source
C．temperature
D．taste
【4】What matters to the existence of liquid water on Mars?
A．The distance from the sun．
B．The favorable climate．
C．The gravity of the earth
D．The salt in it．

25、 Psychologists like Stephen Reicher from the University of St. Andrews in the U.K. suspect that crowds have a positive impact on the health of the individuals within them. Actually, what their research shows is that crowds are _________ to society. They help form our sense of who we are, they help form our relations to others — they even help determine our _________ well-being.
Reicher and his colleagues came to the largest Hindu festival, the Kumbh, to test the idea that crowds are beneficial and to confirm the healthful effects of the festival on its participants. Before the start of festival, his researchers went out into the Indian countryside to question a group of _________ attenders about their mental and physical health. They also questioned people who didn’t plan to attend. The researchers _________ to question both groups a month after the festival had ended. Those who stayed in their villages reported no real change over the period of the study. Those who attended it, on the other hand, reported a 10 percent _________ in their health, including less pain, less anxiety and higher energy levels. What’s more, the good effects lasted long afterward.
Why should belonging to a crowd improve your health? The psychologists think _________ identity is the cause. “You think in terms of ‘we’ rather than ‘I’,” explains a colleague of Reicher’s. This way of thinking _________ human relationships. Members of the crowd support one another, competition becomes cooperation, and people are able to achieve their goals in a way they wouldn’t be able to _________.
Unfortunately, in spite of the mutual support so _________ elsewhere at the Kumbh, 36 people died in a stampede (踩踏) at the train station there after the festival. Somehow the crowd had lost its ____________. Reicher wrote that one possible cause was that the people no longer formed a psychological crowd. They no longer saw those around them as fellows, but rather as ____________ for seats on a train.
____________, before this tragedy, Reicher had interviewed a villager who was asked to describe the feeling in the crowd at the station. “People think they are more powerful than you, they can push you around,” she said. She was then asked to describe the feeling in the Kumbh: “People ____________ you. They treat you in a polite manner.” The stampede was an example of what can happen when the psychological cooperation of a crowd ____________.
Incidents such as the stampede are rare at the festival, and this one is unlikely to discourage people from attending the event in the future. The police will undoubtedly learn from this experience and make the station safer. But in crowds as large as those at the festival, individuals must put their ____________ in the power of psychological cooperation. In other words, “Love thy (your) neighbor.” One day, it could even save your life.

26、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。续写的词数应为 150 左右。
If you ask me whether you should say yes to walk your neighbor’s dog, my answer would be a definite “Yes”, as long you do one thing I didn’t do when I helped out with my neighbor’s dog. Here’s what I meant. You don’t need to ask your neighbor lots of questions about that particular dog, but just be patient to ask one very important question. Here is why.
Mrs. Gonzales and her adorable dog Rascal, live at the end of my street. My friend Ollie and I have played with Rascal since he was a puppy, so when Mrs. Gonzales asked if we’d like to take him to the park once in a while, we can’t wait to says, “When can we start?” “How about this Saturday at 3: 00?”she suggested.
When Saturday rolled around, Ollie and I were there to pick up Rascal at 3: 00 on time. “Rascal will be so happy to play in the park with you!” Mrs. Gonzales said. “If I’m still out grocery shopping when you return, just let yourselves in with this spare key. I’ll be home a little while later.”
“Also, why do you think I named him Rascal? If there’s trouble, such as puddles, this guy is guaranteed to find it. And also the commands that you should ” When we realized that Mrs. Gonzales had lots of “alsos”, we interrupted her and ran away in the blink of an eye.
Not long after we arrived at the park, Rascal found a giant puddle and jumped into it and rolled around until every square inch of his furry body was dripping with mud. “Ugh! silly puppy, you’re the muddiest dog in the universes!” I said. Ollie said we should take him back home so he can get washed up.
But when we got to Mrs. Gonzales’s house, she didn’t answer the doorbell. “ She must still be out grocery shopping,” I said. “How about we use the garden tube to clean him? ” Ollie suggested. “ Good idea!” I said, putting Mrs. Gonzales’s key into the lock. “I’ll go inside and get a towel to dry him off.”
Paragraph 1:
But the second I opened the door, Rascal raced inside the house.

Mrs. Gonzales came in with her groceries.
