Every year, over 7.72 trillion kilograms of plastic is washed into the oceans. There are five huge areas in the world’s oceans that are a “soup” of floating rubbish. One of these areas, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), is three times as large as France.
Over a year ago, a group called Ocean Cleanup began using a huge floating screen to try to clean up plastic pollution in the ocean. After several failures, the group is now collecting plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. But the plastic is spreading out over a large area, so it's impossible to collect it piece by piece. So, the Ocean Cleanup had a plan. They got a long floating U-shaped tube with a screen hanging below it. As the tube and screen are pushed by the water and the winds, the U is meant to collect plastic rubbish, making it easy for a ship to collect and remove the plastic. The system uses the power of the wind and ocean, so it doesn’t need fuel.
The group began testing the first version, called “System 001”, last September. But it soon became clear that the screen was just moving with the plastic, not collecting it. Sometimes plastic would wash over the top of the tube. Even worse, System 001 got broken by surging seas and had to be towed to Hawaii for repairs.
But Mr. Slat, who got the idea for the Ocean Cleanup system, sees the project as an experiment, which means a failure is a chance to learn. The team collected and studied lots of information about what worked well and what didn’t. Then they changed the design. In June, an improved version, called “System001/B” was towed back to the GPGP.
The new version has a parachute (降落伞) attached to it. This makes the system move slightly slower than the plastic, allowing the plastic to be collected inside, as planned. But this success is still just the beginning of the work of the Ocean Cleanup. They want a better and larger system.
24．What does the author want to show in Paragraph 1
A．Humans should try to prevent plastic waste.
B．The GPGP is facing different kinds of pollution.
C．Plastic pollution in the oceans has become a serious problem.
D．A series of problems has been caused by plastic pollution.
25．What was the group’s plan
A．To make use of the water and the winds.
B．To create a ship to collect waste in the oceans.
C．To collect the floating plastic waste piece by piece.
D．To gather up the floating plastic waste in the oceans.
26．What can we know about the “System001”
A．It was a failure. B．It was a great success.
C．It worked with a parachute. D．It needed to be fueled regularly.
27．What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 3
A．vast B．rough
C．calm D．peaceful

While facial recognition technology continues to promote many aspects of human life, it’s now being applied to aid the protection of giant pandas, Xinhua News Agency reported on 6 January 2022.
A nature reserve has built an AI-enabled video monitoring system to better protect giant pandas. Installed with 300 infrared (红外线) cameras, the monitoring system helps ensure the health and safety of 110 wild giant pandas there. It was put into operation two years ago, and has captured numerous photos and videos of pandas engaged in activities such as eating, resting and fighting for mates. It provides scientific data to help us grasp pandas’ living conditions and establish conservation strategies. More importantly, it achieves real-time monitoring of the reserve so that we can discern the threats to the wildlife as early as possible.
A recent study found the facial recognition system can automatically recognize various wild animals caught in infrared cameras, allowing researchers to collect data on giant pandas while staying indoors. It’s shown that by equipping the AI-aided system to retain the filed photos of giant pandas, we obtain a 98% success rate for species recognition. Its success rate of recognizing other wild animals can top 80%. In 2021 alone, this monitoring system captured 2, 896 photos of giant pandas and other rare animals and filmed 3,218 seconds of footage, showcasing the reserve’s sound ecological environment as well as a gradual rise in panda population there.
Head of the reserve’s administration, Liu Xingming, said researchers used the system not only to observe the dynamics and health of the giant panda population but also to learn about changes in the natural surroundings of their habitat. “The monitoring system has enabled systematic, scientific, and intelligent conservation of wildlife,” he added. “However, it is expected to be further improved and optimized in the near future.”
28．What does the underlined word “discern” mean in paragraph 2
A．Solve. B．Affect.
C．Detect. D．Attach.
29．What can be inferred about the new technology from the study
A．It contributes to species data collection. B．It makes panda population rise rapidly.
C．It precisely recognizes any species. D．It understands pandas’ facial appearance.
30．What is Liu Xingming’s attitude to the facial recognition monitoring system
A．Critical. B．Ambiguous.
C．Objective. D．Conservative.
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Panda Facial Recognition Using Database
B．AI Technology for Better Panda Protection
C．Functions of Facial Recognition Technology
D．A Breakthrough in Video Monitoring System

Princess Louisa Inlet, a fjord lying 60 miles from Vancouver, Canada, is a stretch of wilderness. Accessible only by boat or plane, the 6-kilometer-long area is popular with outdoor enthusiasts. Its dense forests are home to a variety of wildlife, including mountain goats, eagles, etc. Now, thanks to a crowdfunding campaign, the land will be preserved forever for future generations to enjoy.
The chain of events began in June 2019, when three neighboring privately-owned land parcels came up for sale. With several logging companies expressing interest, BC Parks Foundation knew it had to do something to save the land. Although it had “zero funds”, the nonprofit foundation agreed to acquire the land for CAN $ 3 million(US$ 2.3 million). Fortunately, the owners gave the nonprofit three months to collect the money.
After much consideration, the nonprofit decided to reach out to the general public through a crowdfunding campaign. To its surprise, money started rolling in from people worldwide. Among the donors was a class of fifth-grade students from Cambridge Elementary School in Surrey, British Columbia, who raised an impressive CAN $1,109 for the cause.
But in spite of the outpouring of support, on August 28, 2019——the day of the sale deadline, the nonprofit was still short of CAN $ 100,000. Just as the officials thought there was no chance of success, a businessman from Vancouver stepped in with the funds. He wrote, “These protected areas are our crown jewels, and I think it’s madness to consider letting them go for short-term economic gain when they always provide much more.”
“It’s just an amazing thing people have done. They together have saved the fjord,” said BC Parks Foundation CEO Andrew Day. “Hopefully we do see more of this kind of thing, in the right places at the right time.”
32．What can we say about Princess Louisa Inlet according to paragraph 1
A．It is a wild place and not approachable. B．It is impressive but not easily accessible.
C．It is likely to be at risk of being in ruins. D．It is especially loved by indoor enthusiasts.
33．What is beyond the expectation of BC Parks Foundation
A．People’s sincere pray for the Inlet. B．The sacrifice of logging companies.
C．People’s support for the campaign. D．The permission to purchase the land.
34．How did the officials feel at first on the day of the sale deadline
A．Hopeless. B．Cautious.
C．Annoyed. D．Serious.
35．Why are Andrew Day’s words mentioned
A．To introduce the beauty of the wilderness. B．To stress the significance of the campaign.
C．To show the benefits of exploring the fjord. D．To evaluate the value of Princess Louisa Inlet.

67．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
How much do you know about bear Do bears attack people The answer is certainly positive. So people in a small city in Colorado were concerned. Why Last week, a large black bear attacked a family's coop and ate the chickens. It was reported by a local TV station. At the end of the news report, a policeman asked local residents to keep waste, pet food and even birdseed inside, and to report any bear sightings until the animal was found. The policeman also told people to always stay away from the bear when they saw it.
Sam is a 12-year-old boy. Earlier this week, he came to that small city to visit his uncle's family with his mother. His uncle's son, David, was very excited about the bear that had appeared in his neighbor's backyard.
“Sam, there is a bear in our city,” soon after Sam arrived, David told him.
Sam was curious about bears and he had always dreamed of watching one.
“Really ” he asked excitedly.
“Yes. It went into Mrs Brown's backyard last week. It ate all her chickens. But it had run away and I didn't even see it,” said David.
Sam listened with his eyes wide open. “Would it return ” he asked.
“Very probably,” said David, “it would return for food.” At last, he asked Sam.
“Do you want to see the bear ”
Sam immediately nodded. Then he asked, “But how ”
“We can put some food in the backyard. When the bear sees it, he will come in and eat it. But we should be careful. The bear may attack us if he sees us. So we should never make any noise.”
Sam nodded again, still in excitement.
Later that day, the adults all went out, leaving the two boys alone at home. Soon they started to take action.
They put some leftovers from lunch in the backyard. Then they waited behind the window of the kitchen and waited curiously. But an hour passed and they didn’t see a bear. Finally, they got bored.
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；

One of these areas, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), is three times as large as France.可知每年有超过7.72万亿公斤的塑料被冲进海洋。世界上有五个巨大的海洋区域是漂浮垃圾的“汤”。其中的大太平洋垃圾带（GPGP）的面积是法国的三倍。由此可推知，在第一段中，作者通过列数字的方式是想表达海洋中的塑料污染已经成为一个严重的问题。故选C。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段中Over a year ago, a group called Ocean Cleanup began using a huge floating screen to try to clean up plastic pollution in the ocean. After several failures, the group is now collecting plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.可知一年多前，一个名为海洋清理的组织开始使用一个巨大的浮动筛来清理海洋中的塑料污染。经过几次失败后，该组织现在正在大太平洋垃圾带收集塑料。由此可知，这个团体的计划是收集海洋中漂浮的塑料垃圾。故选D。
26．细节理解题。根据第三段中But it soon became clear that the screen was just moving with the plastic, not collecting it. Sometimes plastic would wash over the top of the tube. Even worse, System 001 got broken by surging seas and had to be towed to Hawaii for repairs.但很快就发现，这块筛只是随着塑料的移动而移动，而不能收集垃圾。有时塑料会从管子的顶部冲洗出来。更糟糕的是，System 001被汹涌的海浪打破，不得不被拖到夏威夷进行维修。以及第四段第一句But Mr. Slat, who got the idea for the Ocean Cleanup system, sees the project as an experiment, which means a failure is a chance to learn.可知但产生海洋清理系统想法的Slat认为，这个项目是一个实验，也就是说，失败是一个学习的机会。由此可知，System001失败了。故选A。
27．词义猜测题。根据上文Even worse, System 001 got broken可知有更糟糕的是，系统001被汹涌的海浪打破，不得不被拖到夏威夷进行维修。由此可知，划线单词意思为“汹涌的，猛烈的”。故选B。
28．C 29．A 30．C 31．B
28．词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“More importantly, it achieves real-time monitoring of the reserve so that we can discern the threats to the wildlife as early as possible.(更重要的是，它实现了对保护区的实时监控，使我们能够尽早发现对野生动物的威胁。)”可知，前面it achieves real-time monitoring of the reserve提到实现了对保护区的实时监控，后面又说可以尽早discern对野生动物的威胁。由此可推知，实时监控可以帮助尽早“发现”对野生动物的威胁，discern词义与“发现”相近。A. Solve解决；B. Affect影响；C. Detect监测、察觉；D. Attach连接、系上。四个选项中，只有C项与discern(看出、察觉出)含义相近。故选C项。
29．推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“It was put into operation two years ago, and has captured numerous photos and videos of pandas engaged in activities such as eating, resting and fighting for mates. It provides scientific data to help us grasp pandas’ living conditions and establish conservation strategies.(它于两年前投入使用，并拍摄了大量大熊猫进食、休息和争夺配偶等活动的照片和视频。它为帮助我们掌握大熊猫的生存状况、制定保护策略提供了科学依据)”可知，新技术拍摄了大量大熊猫进食、休息和争夺配偶等活动的照片和视频，这种技术为我们掌握大熊猫的生存状况、制定保护策略提供了科学依据。由此可推知，新技术有助于物种数据的收集。故选A项。
30．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““The monitoring system has enabled systematic, scientific, and intelligent conservation of wildlife,” he added. “However, it is expected to be further improved and optimized in the near future.”(他补充说：“监测系统实现了对野生动物的系统、科学和智能保护。不过，在不久的将来，它有望得到进一步的改进和优化。”)”可知，Liu Xingming认为监测系统实现了对野生动物的系统、科学和智能保护，不过在不久的将来，监测系统有望得到进一步的改进和优化。由此可推知，Liu Xingming对监测系统的态度是比较客观的。故选C项。
31．主旨大意题。阅读文章可知，文章开篇就提出了面部识别技术应用于大熊猫保护，第二、三段介绍了监测系统和面部识别技术的相关工作原理和作用；最后一段提到了使用该技术的目的以及未来发展。由此可知，本文主要介绍了用于保护大熊猫的人工智能技术，这种技术能更好地保护大熊猫。B项“AI Technology for Better Panda Protection(能更好地保护熊猫的人工智能技术)”最能概括本文内容。故选B项。
32．B 33．C 34．A 35．B
32．推理判断题。根据第一段“Princess Louisa Inlet, a fjord（峡湾）lying 60 miles from Vancouver, Canada, is a stretch of wilderness. Accessible only by boat or plane, the 6-kilometer-long area is popular with outdoor enthusiasts. Its dense forests are home to a variety of wildlife, including mountain goats, eagles, etc.(路易莎公主湾，一个距离加拿大温哥华60英里的峡湾，是一片荒野。只有乘船或乘飞机才能到达这个6公里长的区域，深受户外运动爱好者的欢迎。它茂密的森林是包括山羊、老鹰等在内的各种野生动物的家园)”可推断，路易莎公主湾令人印象深刻，但是却不容易进入。故选B。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“To its surprise, money started rolling in from people worldwide. Among the donors was a class of fifth-grade students from Cambridge Elementary School in Surrey, British Columbia, who raised an impressive CAN $1109 for the cause.(令它吃惊的是，资金开始从世界各地的人们那里滚滚而来。捐款者中有一个来自英属哥伦比亚萨里郡剑桥小学五年级的班级，他们为这项事业筹集了令人印象深刻的1109澳元)”可知，人们对这个众筹活动的支持超出了BC公园基金会的预期。故选C。
34．推理判断题。根据第四段中“But in spite of the outpouring of support, on August 28, 2019——the day of the sale deadline, the nonprofit was still short of CAN $ 100,000. Just as the officials thought there was no chance of success, a businessman from Vancouver stepped in with the funds.(但是，尽管得到了大量的支持，在2019年8月28日，也就是销售截止日期那天，这家非营利组织仍然缺少10万加元的资金。正当官员们认为不可能成功的时候，一位来自温哥华的商人带着资金介入了)”可推知，在售卖截止日的那天，官员们因为资金不够，刚一开始感觉很绝望。故选A。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘It’s just an amazing thing people have done. They together have saved the fjord,’ said BC Parks Foundation CEO Andrew Day. ‘Hopefully we do see more of this kind of thing, in the right places at the right time.’(“这是人们做的一件了不起的事情。他们一起拯救了峡湾，”BC公园基金会首席执行官Andrew Day说，“希望我们能在正确的时间、正确的地点看到更多这样的事情。”)”可推断，提到Andrew Day的话其目的是为了强调众筹活动的意义。故选B。

Just then, they saw something big at the gate of the backyard. Upon seeing the bear coming in, the two boys’ eyes twinkled with excitement. He looked into the backyard. Obviously, he saw the leftover. He pushed open the door and came in. He then started enjoying the food. So curious was Sam that he unconsciously stepped out of the house in order to watch the bear closely. It seemed as if the bear were safe enough to be close to.
When the bear looked up, he saw Sam. At the sight of the fierce bear, Sam felt so scared that his throat tightened and his knees felt weak. So was David, who froze with terror, too scared to move an inch. Just at the moment, their parents, together with the police, rushed in, shooting the bear. So ashamed were they that they could feel the blood rush to their face. They apologized to their parents, who forgave them finally, reminding them to be always aware of such dangerous animals as the bear.

Every year, over 7.72 trillion kilograms of plastic is washed into the oceans. There are five huge areas in the world’s oceans that are a “soup” of floating rubbish. One of these areas, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), is three times as large as France.
Over a year ago, a group called Ocean Cleanup began using a huge floating screen to try to clean up plastic pollution in the ocean. After several failures, the group is now collecting plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. But the plastic is spreading out over a large area, so it's impossible to collect it piece by piece. So, the Ocean Cleanup had a plan. They got a long floating U-shaped tube with a screen hanging below it. As the tube and screen are pushed by the water and the winds, the U is meant to collect plastic rubbish, making it easy for a ship to collect and remove the plastic. The system uses the power of the wind and ocean, so it doesn’t need fuel.
The group began testing the first version, called “System 001”, last September. But it soon became clear that the screen was just moving with the plastic, not collecting it. Sometimes plastic would wash over the top of the tube. Even worse, System 001 got broken by surging seas and had to be towed to Hawaii for repairs.
But Mr. Slat, who got the idea for the Ocean Cleanup system, sees the project as an experiment, which means a failure is a chance to learn. The team collected and studied lots of information about what worked well and what didn’t. Then they changed the design. In June, an improved version, called “System001/B” was towed back to the GPGP.
The new version has a parachute (降落伞) attached to it. This makes the system move slightly slower than the plastic, allowing the plastic to be collected inside, as planned. But this success is still just the beginning of the work of the Ocean Cleanup. They want a better and larger system.
24．What does the author want to show in Paragraph 1
A．Humans should try to prevent plastic waste.
B．The GPGP is facing different kinds of pollution.
C．Plastic pollution in the oceans has become a serious problem.
D．A series of problems has been caused by plastic pollution.
25．What was the group’s plan
A．To make use of the water and the winds.
B．To create a ship to collect waste in the oceans.
C．To collect the floating plastic waste piece by piece.
D．To gather up the floating plastic waste in the oceans.
26．What can we know about the “System001”
A．It was a failure. B．It was a great success.
C．It worked with a parachute. D．It needed to be fueled regularly.
27．What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 3
A．vast B．rough
C．calm D．peaceful

While facial recognition technology continues to promote many aspects of human life, it’s now being applied to aid the protection of giant pandas, Xinhua News Agency reported on 6 January 2022.
A nature reserve has built an AI-enabled video monitoring system to better protect giant pandas. Installed with 300 infrared (红外线) cameras, the monitoring system helps ensure the health and safety of 110 wild giant pandas there. It was put into operation two years ago, and has captured numerous photos and videos of pandas engaged in activities such as eating, resting and fighting for mates. It provides scientific data to help us grasp pandas’ living conditions and establish conservation strategies. More importantly, it achieves real-time monitoring of the reserve so that we can discern the threats to the wildlife as early as possible.
A recent study found the facial recognition system can automatically recognize various wild animals caught in infrared cameras, allowing researchers to collect data on giant pandas while staying indoors. It’s shown that by equipping the AI-aided system to retain the filed photos of giant pandas, we obtain a 98% success rate for species recognition. Its success rate of recognizing other wild animals can top 80%. In 2021 alone, this monitoring system captured 2, 896 photos of giant pandas and other rare animals and filmed 3,218 seconds of footage, showcasing the reserve’s sound ecological environment as well as a gradual rise in panda population there.
Head of the reserve’s administration, Liu Xingming, said researchers used the system not only to observe the dynamics and health of the giant panda population but also to learn about changes in the natural surroundings of their habitat. “The monitoring system has enabled systematic, scientific, and intelligent conservation of wildlife,” he added. “However, it is expected to be further improved and optimized in the near future.”
28．What does the underlined word “discern” mean in paragraph 2
A．Solve. B．Affect.
C．Detect. D．Attach.
29．What can be inferred about the new technology from the study
A．It contributes to species data collection. B．It makes panda population rise rapidly.
C．It precisely recognizes any species. D．It understands pandas’ facial appearance.
30．What is Liu Xingming’s attitude to the facial recognition monitoring system
A．Critical. B．Ambiguous.
C．Objective. D．Conservative.
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Panda Facial Recognition Using Database
B．AI Technology for Better Panda Protection
C．Functions of Facial Recognition Technology
D．A Breakthrough in Video Monitoring System

Princess Louisa Inlet, a fjord lying 60 miles from Vancouver, Canada, is a stretch of wilderness. Accessible only by boat or plane, the 6-kilometer-long area is popular with outdoor enthusiasts. Its dense forests are home to a variety of wildlife, including mountain goats, eagles, etc. Now, thanks to a crowdfunding campaign, the land will be preserved forever for future generations to enjoy.
The chain of events began in June 2019, when three neighboring privately-owned land parcels came up for sale. With several logging companies expressing interest, BC Parks Foundation knew it had to do something to save the land. Although it had “zero funds”, the nonprofit foundation agreed to acquire the land for CAN $ 3 million(US$ 2.3 million). Fortunately, the owners gave the nonprofit three months to collect the money.
After much consideration, the nonprofit decided to reach out to the general public through a crowdfunding campaign. To its surprise, money started rolling in from people worldwide. Among the donors was a class of fifth-grade students from Cambridge Elementary School in Surrey, British Columbia, who raised an impressive CAN $1,109 for the cause.
But in spite of the outpouring of support, on August 28, 2019——the day of the sale deadline, the nonprofit was still short of CAN $ 100,000. Just as the officials thought there was no chance of success, a businessman from Vancouver stepped in with the funds. He wrote, “These protected areas are our crown jewels, and I think it’s madness to consider letting them go for short-term economic gain when they always provide much more.”
“It’s just an amazing thing people have done. They together have saved the fjord,” said BC Parks Foundation CEO Andrew Day. “Hopefully we do see more of this kind of thing, in the right places at the right time.”

67．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
How much do you know about bear Do bears attack people The answer is certainly positive. So people in a small city in Colorado were concerned. Why Last week, a large black bear attacked a family's coop and ate the chickens. It was reported by a local TV station. At the end of the news report, a policeman asked local residents to keep waste, pet food and even birdseed inside, and to report any bear sightings until the animal was found. The policeman also told people to always stay away from the bear when they saw it.
Sam is a 12-year-old boy. Earlier this week, he came to that small city to visit his uncle's family with his mother. His uncle's son, David, was very excited about the bear that had appeared in his neighbor's backyard.
“Sam, there is a bear in our city,” soon after Sam arrived, David told him.
Sam was curious about bears and he had always dreamed of watching one.
“Really ” he asked excitedly.
“Yes. It went into Mrs Brown's backyard last week. It ate all her chickens. But it had run away and I didn't even see it,” said David.
Sam listened with his eyes wide open. “Would it return ” he asked.
“Very probably,” said David, “it would return for food.” At last, he asked Sam.
“Do you want to see the bear ”
Sam immediately nodded. Then he asked, “But how ”
“We can put some food in the backyard. When the bear sees it, he will come in and eat it. But we should be careful. The bear may attack us if he sees us. So we should never make any noise.”
Sam nodded again, still in excitement.
Later that day, the adults all went out, leaving the two boys alone at home. Soon they started to take action.
They put some leftovers from lunch in the backyard. Then they waited behind the window of the kitchen and waited curiously. But an hour passed and they didn’t see a bear. Finally, they got bored.

21．细节理解题。根据About the Contest部分最后一句“We welcome participation of both US and international students.(我们欢迎美国学生和国际学生的参与。)”可知，该比赛欢迎所有美国和国际学生。由此可推知，Young Writers Awards接受世界各地的参赛者。故选C项。
22．细节理解题。根据Awards & Rules部分的“All entries must be original work reviewed, approved and guided by a teacher.(所有参赛作品必须是由老师审阅、批准和指导的原创作品。)”和“please contact one to assist in your writing even if you have experience in such competitions(即使你有参加这类比赛的经验，也请联系一个协助你写作的人)”可知，参赛者需要找到一位老师指导自己的参赛作品。故选D项。
23．细节理解题。根据Awards & Rules部分的“second-place winners receive $500(第二名将获得500美元)”和“Young Writers Awards winners reaching the standard will receive $15,000 every year, for a total of $60,000(达到标准的青年作家奖获奖者每年将获得1.5万美元，总共6万美元)”可知，二等奖获得者会得到500美元的奖励，在申请并被本宁顿学院录取后会获得60000美元的奖学金，故一共会获得60500美元。故选D项。
24．C 25．D 26．A 27．B
24．推理判断题。根据第一段Every year, over 7.72 trillion kilograms of plastic is washed into the oceans. There are five huge areas in the world’s oceans that are a “soup” of floating rubbish. One of these areas, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), is three times as large as France.可知每年有超过7.72万亿公斤的塑料被冲进海洋。世界上有五个巨大的海洋区域是漂浮垃圾的“汤”。其中的大太平洋垃圾带（GPGP）的面积是法国的三倍。由此可推知，在第一段中，作者通过列数字的方式是想表达海洋中的塑料污染已经成为一个严重的问题。故选C。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段中Over a year ago, a group called Ocean Cleanup began using a huge floating screen to try to clean up plastic pollution in the ocean. After several failures, the group is now collecting plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.可知一年多前，一个名为海洋清理的组织开始使用一个巨大的浮动筛来清理海洋中的塑料污染。经过几次失败后，该组织现在正在大太平洋垃圾带收集塑料。由此可知，这个团体的计划是收集海洋中漂浮的塑料垃圾。故选D。
26．细节理解题。根据第三段中But it soon became clear that the screen was just moving with the plastic, not collecting it. Sometimes plastic would wash over the top of the tube. Even worse, System 001 got broken by surging seas and had to be towed to Hawaii for repairs.但很快就发现，这块筛只是随着塑料的移动而移动，而不能收集垃圾。有时塑料会从管子的顶部冲洗出来。更糟糕的是，System 001被汹涌的海浪打破，不得不被拖到夏威夷进行维修。以及第四段第一句But Mr. Slat, who got the idea for the Ocean Cleanup system, sees the project as an experiment, which means a failure is a chance to learn.可知但产生海洋清理系统想法的Slat认为，这个项目是一个实验，也就是说，失败是一个学习的机会。由此可知，System001失败了。故选A。
27．词义猜测题。根据上文Even worse, System 001 got broken可知有更糟糕的是，系统001被汹涌的海浪打破，不得不被拖到夏威夷进行维修。由此可知，划线单词意思为“汹涌的，猛烈的”。故选B。

Solve解决；B. Affect影响；C. Detect监测、察觉；D. Attach连接、系上。四个选项中，只有C项与discern(看出、察觉出)含义相近。故选C项。
29．推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“It was put into operation two years ago, and has captured numerous photos and videos of pandas engaged in activities such as eating, resting and fighting for mates. It provides scientific data to help us grasp pandas’ living conditions and establish conservation strategies.(它于两年前投入使用，并拍摄了大量大熊猫进食、休息和争夺配偶等活动的照片和视频。它为帮助我们掌握大熊猫的生存状况、制定保护策略提供了科学依据)”可知，新技术拍摄了大量大熊猫进食、休息和争夺配偶等活动的照片和视频，这种技术为我们掌握大熊猫的生存状况、制定保护策略提供了科学依据。由此可推知，新技术有助于物种数据的收集。故选A项。
30．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““The monitoring system has enabled systematic, scientific, and intelligent conservation of wildlife,” he added. “However, it is expected to be further improved and optimized in the near future.”(他补充说：“监测系统实现了对野生动物的系统、科学和智能保护。不过，在不久的将来，它有望得到进一步的改进和优化。”)”可知，Liu Xingming认为监测系统实现了对野生动物的系统、科学和智能保护，不过在不久的将来，监测系统有望得到进一步的改进和优化。由此可推知，Liu Xingming对监测系统的态度是比较客观的。故选C项。
31．主旨大意题。阅读文章可知，文章开篇就提出了面部识别技术应用于大熊猫保护，第二、三段介绍了监测系统和面部识别技术的相关工作原理和作用；最后一段提到了使用该技术的目的以及未来发展。由此可知，本文主要介绍了用于保护大熊猫的人工智能技术，这种技术能更好地保护大熊猫。B项“AI Technology for Better Panda Protection(能更好地保护熊猫的人工智能技术)”最能概括本文内容。故选B项。
32．B 33．C 34．A 35．B
32．推理判断题。根据第一段“Princess Louisa Inlet, a fjord（峡湾）lying 60 miles from Vancouver, Canada, is a stretch of wilderness. Accessible only by boat or plane, the 6-kilometer-long area is popular with outdoor enthusiasts. Its dense forests are home to a variety of wildlife, including mountain goats, eagles, etc.(路易莎公主湾，一个距离加拿大温哥华60英里的峡湾，是一片荒野。只有乘船或乘飞机才能到达这个6公里长的区域，深受户外运动爱好者的欢迎。它茂密的森林是包括山羊、老鹰等在内的各种野生动物的家园)”可推断，路易莎公主湾令人印象深刻，但是却不容易进入。故选B。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“To its surprise, money started rolling in from people worldwide. Among the donors was a class of fifth-grade students from Cambridge Elementary School in Surrey, British Columbia, who raised an impressive CAN $1109 for the cause.(令它吃惊的是，资金开始从世界各地的人们那里滚滚而来。捐款者中有一个来自英属哥伦比亚萨里郡剑桥小学五年级的班级，他们为这项事业筹集了令人印象深刻的1109澳元)”可知，人们对这个众筹活动的支持超出了BC公园基金会的预期。故选C。
34．推理判断题。根据第四段中“But in spite of the outpouring of support, on August 28, 2019——the day of the sale deadline, the nonprofit was still short of CAN $ 100,000. Just as the officials thought there was no chance of success, a businessman from Vancouver stepped in with the funds.(但是，尽管得到了大量的支持，在2019年8月28日，也就是销售截止日期那天，这家非营利组织仍然缺少10万加元的资金。正当官员们认为不可能成功的时候，一位来自温哥华的商人带着资金介入了)”可推知，在售卖截止日的那天，官员们因为资金不够，刚一开始感觉很绝望。故选A。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘It’s just an amazing thing people have done. They together have saved the fjord,’ said BC Parks Foundation CEO Andrew Day. ‘Hopefully we do see more of this kind of thing, in the right places at the right time.’(“这是人们做的一件了不起的事情。他们一起拯救了峡湾，”BC公园基金会首席执行官Andrew Day说，“希望我们能在正确的时间、正确的地点看到更多这样的事情。”)”可推断，提到Andrew Day的话其目的是为了强调众筹活动的意义。故选B。

37．根据后文“Weeding for 15 to 20 minutes at a time and then taking a break to do another activity will help to avoid pain”（每次除草15到20分钟，然后休息一下，做另一项活动有助于避免疼痛）可知，介绍每项运动时都需要说明锻炼多长时间，所以选项F（你应该至少花5到10分钟来做这件事。）切合文意。故选F。
38．根据后文“If you have a variety of tasks to do in the garden, set a specific amount of time you will do each and then rotate (轮流) between them. ”（如果你在花园里有各种各样的任务要做，设定一个具体的时间来完成每一个任务，然后在它们之间轮换。）可知，此处是指运动要多样，所以选项A（使你的运动多样化。）切合文意。故选A。
39．根据前文“Getting 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day can lower your blood pressure.”（每天进行30分钟的适度锻炼可以降低血压。）可知，此处是指在花园里规律锻炼对身体的好处，所以选项C（它还有助于预防心脏病。）切合文意。故选C。
40．根据前文“In order for gardening to count as exercise, you need to raise your heart rate and put out some physical effort while doing it.”（为了让园艺算作一种锻炼，你需要提高你的心率并在做的时候投入一些体力。）可知，园艺锻炼需要提高心率投入足够体力，所以选项G（这意味着只是在周围站立浇水并不是锻炼。）切合文意。故选G。

Just then, they saw something big at the gate of the backyard. Upon seeing the bear coming in, the two boys’ eyes twinkled with excitement. He looked into the backyard. Obviously, he saw the leftover. He pushed open the door and came in. He then started enjoying the food. So curious was Sam that he unconsciously stepped out of the house in order to watch the bear closely. It seemed as if the bear were safe enough to be close to.
When the bear looked up, he saw Sam. At the sight of the fierce bear, Sam felt so scared that his throat tightened and his knees felt weak. So was David, who froze with terror, too scared to move an inch. Just at the moment, their parents, together with the police, rushed in, shooting the bear. So ashamed were they that they could feel the blood rush to their face. They apologized to their parents, who forgave them finally, reminding them to be always aware of such dangerous animals as the bear.
