21、Technology usually distracts us from nature. But now technology is “offering us an opportunity to listen to nonhumans in powerful ways, reviving our connection to the natural world,” wrote professor Karen Bakker in her new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants.

All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and decipher. Elephants, for example, communicate with each other using infrasound (次声波), a sound frequency far below our human hearing range. Moreover, they even have their own ways to distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans. Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves, with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow. This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect. After the sounds are recorded, AI is then able to determine their meaning, according to the news website Vox. There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances.

This technology can not only understand the animals, but also communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate to their peers where to go in search of nectar (花蜜). A research team in Germany, therefore, put the bee language AI database system into a robot bee, allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move, Vox reported. Whereas in the past language creation had been limited to mainly apes (类人猿), with there being many examples of chimpanzees(黑猩猩) having been taught sign language to communicate with humans, this new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom.

【1】How does the fact strike us that animals can communicate in their own way?

A．It’s amazing and unbelievable

B．It’s strange and ridiculous

C．It’s attractive and reasonable

D．It’s terrible and shocking

【2】Which of the following statements is true according to paragraph 2?

A．Humans find it rather easy to interpret the sounds of animals.

B．Listening devices are placed so as to serve as ears for animals

C．Elephants are able to tell which humans are friendly to them.

D．Corals direct their babies to find food through sound waves.

【3】What do we know from the last paragraph?

A．Bees use dances to search for their peers.

B．The robot bee is created to direct real bees.

C．Apes can communicate with humans naturally.

D．Language creation may be less limited in future.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．AI changes our life in different ways

B．AI lends us a chance to talk to animals

C．AI enables us to change nature greatly

D．AI technology is a double-edged sword

22、Jae-Yeol Tae recalls the time he broke into a cold sweat after noticing a long line behind him as he struggled to order a hamburger on a local fast-food restaurant’s self-order kiosk (自助服务终端). “I kept reading the instructions on the kiosk, but they were difficult to follow,” Tae, 78, said.

The South Korean senior is not the only one who has felt powerless and at the mercy of such self-serve digital kiosk machines. Adults aged 65 and older have taken part in the senior digital education program at Seoul-based Seocho Joongang Senior Welfare Center to learn how to use the devices in this modem digital age.

Seocho District’s senior community center has been providing digital education classes and resources for willing seniors over the past two years. Since September 2019, more than 1500 senior citizens have learned how to use digital machines and devices like self-serve kiosks through the program.

After two years of suffering from the pandemic (流行病), a large number of restaurants and stores have adopted self-service electronic kiosks as alternatives to keep personnel costs down while continuing to keep their businesses running. The size of the domestic kiosk market is expected to grow 5.7% annually by 2023, according to the report from Shinhan Investment Corporation.

Digital education for senior citizens has become a necessity as South Korea continues to speed up its digitization according to the nation’s pandemic regulations. At the start of 2022, Seoul introduced the “cash-free bus” plan asking 418 buses to only accept transportation cards or mobile tickets. The project offers passengers instant mobile tickets by scanning QR codes (二维码) at bus stations, but it makes public transportation more complicated for less tech-savvy senior citizens who typically carry around cash only.

Seocho District’s senior community center is not the only one promoting digital education for older adults. The Seoul Metropolitan Government also recently announced that it will invest over $1.68 million to further expand education resources necessary for senior support.

【1】What does the author intend to do in the first paragraph?

A．Offer background information.

B．Introduce a topic for discussion.

C．Present a common natural phenomenon.

D．Make a prediction about future trends.

【2】Why are kiosks adopted as alternatives in some businesses recently?

A．To cut down costs.

B．To attract customers.

C．To avoid physical touch.

D．To speed up digitalization.

【3】What can we infer about “tech-savvy citizens”?

A．They often carry around cash only.

B．They adapt to the digital world easily.

C．They think digital education unnecessary.

D．They will find public transport inaccessible.

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Senior Citizens Go Digital in Korea

B．Korea Moves Toward Touch-free Culture

C．Senior Citizens Face Greater Challenges Now

D．Pandemic Speeds up Digital Education in Korea

24、   Now come some money-saving ideas from a web forum (论坛), which may help you save a penny in the UK.

Nancy: Many people nowadays seem to buy clothes, wear then a couple of times and then give them to charity shops so that's where I do my shopping. You can pet some cheap but really good stuff and you know you’re your money is helping other people so it's a win-win situation in my opinion.

Ailsa: I'm a student and I have a part time job during term time and then work full-time during the holidays. You really can find some good bargains at the end of the day when a lot of food is reduced because it has reached its sell-by date (保质期). It's amazing how much you can save that way.

Gary: I must admit I don't think much about how or where I shop but I try to save money on electricity and gas in the house. Instead of turning up the temperature I put on another sweater and I close the doors. I encourage roommates to turn off the lights when they leave and we don't leave the TV or computer on standby (待机) as that uses up unnecessary energy.

Matthew: I've just moved to the UK. Someone told me about the "freecycle" scheme and I've managed to get almost everything without spending any money. Basically, you advertise what you don't need on its website for someone to collect it. No one makes any money so it really is a good exchange.

【1】What's the saving idea shared by Nancy and Ailsa?

A.Using the student card for discounts. B.Buying things at lower prices.

C.Getting food from the charity. D.Saving money by earning

25、Until a few years ago, I was a calm person. If you were going to offend me or verbally ______ me, I almost never lost temper ______; of course I felt hurt, but I didn’t show it.

Then, one day, I met my husband and I fell in love with him, a proud ______ who loudly discusses things even with himself when he’s not happy. Things, however, got worse for me when we started ______ on things. He seemed really angry while I seemed polite. Truth is that I was ______ too, but I was used to not showing it on the outside.

I felt this had to change and the conversation went ______ like this:

Me: “Either you change your ______ when we fight or I will start avoiding any discussion, otherwise this will ______ our relationship.”

Him: “Did you ______ the Mpemba Effect? If you put two ______ containers filled with the same amount of the same water into the freezer except that one has boiling water in it while the other one has water at ambient (周围的) ______, the boiling water will ______ faster than the ambient water. Baby, you got to boil first, to cool down faster. That’s why the Italians live longer than Canadians.”

The connection he suggested is to be ______, but I have learned a fact I didn’t know, one that has inspired me to understand that if I’m angry about something or someone, for that anger to disappear, it has to be towards the outside or otherwise it is like hiding ______ under the carpet: your house might look clean, but it is not.

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。

We spent the whole weekend watching the ospreys as they flew around gracefully and fished in the pools, and we were very glad a week later when the Easter holidays started.

We spent every day there, cycling out while it was still dark, making notes, doing drawings. taking photographs, recording the birds' activities, and soon we realized that they were starting to make a nest.

We decided that it would be better to keep the whole thing a secret because we knew there were lots of egg collectors who would like to have an osprey's egg in their collection, even though it was illegal. So we said nothing to the few people we met there-the occasional fisherman or walker.

But one evening when we got back from a day watching our ospreys, my parents asked lots of questions about what we were doing.

“Shall we tell them, Mike?” I asked.

“Well, we'll need them to promise not to tell anyone,” he answered, only half joking.

So we told them all about it and they were very impressed.

The holidays ended. By then the ospreys had finished building their nest at the top of one pine tree on the island in the middle of Big Pool. Of course we still went to watch them every weekend, and a couple of nights after school.

One Saturday we were surprised to find a white van parked on the roadside near the track, and a middle-aged man looking at us. As we approached he said, “Aha, and here come our two bird experts!”

Mike and I exchanged glances that were both puzzled and worried. “Don and Mike, I guess. I'm Mr Roberts. Well, whichever of you is Don...,” here I nodded, “I have to thank your father for telling me about your splendid find. I'll just wander around and see what I can see. Pleased to meet you.” Then he turned and started to walk around the lake.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右。

The rest of the day was very tense.
