Desperate to help his 96-year-old mother to speak her mother tongue again Keith McDermott made an appeal on social media and was met with a flood of kind responses. The old lady, Ray, was moved to tears after talking on the phone with one of the enthusiastic respondents in Welsh.
Ray moved to America after meeting her husband when she was only 18, hence waving goodbye to her life in Wales. She continued to speak Welsh with her mum-keeping a little bit of home. But she lost her beloved mum four decades ago and hadn't spoken Welsh ever since.
Despite suffering from short-term memory loss and sometimes not remembering what she has done recently, Ray's childhood memories in Wales remain clear. “She wants to return but I know, given her age, such long-distance travel is out of the question.” said Keith, “Once she mentioned ‘I wish I could speak Welsh again but I suppose I never will.’ It was then that I thought I should make her wish happen.”
So Keith, 70, posted on social media in the New York Welsh area asking for any Welsh speakers that could speak Welsh with his mum. And he was touched, as well as a little shocked, to receive over 30 responses within half an hour. Keith thanked everyone and eventually asked Melisa to give his mum a phone call. “Speaking with Melisa, her (Ray's) Welsh was a little rusty. A few more Welsh conversations and I think she'd be fluent again,” added Keith.
“When you have a parent in their nineties, you will find you two have something in common: you're both old, so I am very sympathetic to my mother's feelings of loneliness and isolation (孤立). I'm feeling it myself.” Keith hopes to set up more Welsh phone conversations for his mum and Melisa has promised to send Ray some short stories in Welsh to remind her of her life in Wales.
4. Why did Keith post a message on social media
A. To gather American Welsh speakers.
B. To help his mum speak Welsh again.
C. To slow down his mum's memory loss.
D. To track down his family's Welsh origin.
5. How did Keith feel after seeing the responses
A. Surprised and moved. B. Concerned and thankful.
C. Sympathetic and excited. D. Astonished and isolated.
6. What is conveyed in the story
A. Social media contribute to closer family ties.
B. Mother tongue means more than a language.
C. Childhood experiences shape one's later life.
D. One will be more sensitive when getting older.
7. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A community noticeboard.
B. A health magazine.
C A language-learning website.
D. A local newspaper.
C
Throughout history, many species of animals have been threatened with extinction. When Europeans first arrived in North America, more than 60 million buffalo (水牛) lived on the continent. Yet hunting the buffalo was so popular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animal’s population had fallen to about 400 before the government stepped in to protect the species. In some countries today, the elephant faces a similar challenge, as illegal hunters kill the animals for the ivory in their tusks.
Yet not all animals with commercial value face this threat (威胁).The cow, for example, is a valuable source of food, but no one worries that the cow will soon be extinct. Why does the commercial value of ivory threaten the elephant. while the commercial value of beef protects the cow
The reason is that elephants are a common resource, while cows are private goods. Elephants wander freely without any owners. The hunter has a strong motivation to kill as many elephants as he can find. Because illegal hunters are numerous, each has only a slight motivation to preserve the elephant population. By contrast, cattle live on farms that are privately owned. Each farmer makes great effort to maintain the cattle population on his farm because he harvests the benefit of these efforts.
Governments have tried to solve the elephant’s problem in two ways. Some countries, such as Kenya and Uganda, have made it illegal to kill elephants and sell their ivory. Yet these laws have been hard to put into effect, and elephant populations have continued to dwindle. By contrast, other countries, such as Malawi and Namibia, have made elephants private goods and allowed people to kill elephants, but only those on their own property.
With private ownership and the profit motive now on its side, the African elephant might someday be as safe from extinction as the cow. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle pointed out the problem with common resources: “What is common to many is taken least care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than for what they possess in common with others.”
8. Why does the author mention buffalo in paragraph 1
A. To introduce a similar threat to elephants.
B. To provide an example of species extinction.
C. To offer an explanation for government policies.
D. To present the statistics of the buffalo in America.
9. Why do elephants face threats while cows are safe
A. They are under different law protection
B. They attract different groups of hunters
C. They contain different commercial value
D. They represent different ownership types
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Bans on killing elephants for ivory
B. Effective laws for elephant protection.
C. Methods of making elephants private goods
D. Government policies on the elephant’s problem
11. What can we learn from Aristotle’s words
A. People hold little regard for others’ property
B. People want to profit from common resources
C. People care more about their own possession
D. People tend to take what they own for granted
D
If someone created a flying machine capable of tracking you down by listening for your voice, you might be terrified. But what if you were trapped in ruins after a natural disaster and first responders couldn’t locate you Maybe then a human-seeking drone(无人机) wouldn’t be such a terrible idea. That concept is the focus for engineers at Germany’s Fraunhofer FKIE Institute, who’ve built a drone to find people by detecting(探测) human screams.
“The human-seeking drone would be ideal for post-disaster situations, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and wildfires,” said Macarena Varela, one of the lead engineers. “They could hover over an area that rescue crews have difficulty getting to and locate exactly where people may be trapped.”
Locating people by sound presents its share of challenges. An auditory(听觉的) system would need to distinguish human cries from sounds that often happen in nature, such as animal calls and wind. It might also need to recognize patterns associated with kicking, clapping or other ways people try to get the attention of rescue teams.
Engineers took those situations into account when building out their concept drone. They recorded themselves screaming, tapping and creating other noises that might be a sign of people in trouble. Then, they analyzed each sound frequency to find common signatures and used those to train artificial intelligence software. They also worked to remove the noise created by the drone and other environmental sounds.
Once the software part was complete, the team placed tiny digital microphones under the drone and used signal processing techniques that enabled them to track where human noises are coming from. The microphones also enhanced the volume and clarity of the speech. So far, they have conducted successful open field experiments, finding that the drone can estimate a victim’s location within a few seconds of picking up sound.
Next, they would like to add a higher frequency microphone to a drone to acquire more audio sound signals. The idea is to pick up noises from hundreds of meters away, Varela said. In the real world, victim’s location data might one day be sent wirelessly to emergency crews carrying a tablet.
12. What is the advantage of the human-seeking drone
A. Its high speed of flying. B. Its long working hours.
C. Its quick response to screams. D. Its easy access to disaster scene.
13. What can the auditory system do
A. Recognize human cries.
B. Pick up sounds from far away.
C. Send victim’s location data to a tablet.
D. Improve the quality of human screams.
14. What does the underlined word “signatures” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Effects. B. Features. C. Symbols. D. Situations.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. AI Enables Drones to Give Better Performance.
B. Human-seeking Drones Replace Rescue Crews.
C. Rescuers Use Drones to Locate Disaster Survivors.
D. Engineers Teach Drones to Hunt Human Screams.

C
Throughout history, many species of animals have been threatened with extinction. When Europeans first arrived in North America, more than 60 million buffalo (水牛) lived on the continent. Yet hunting the buffalo was so popular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animal’s population had fallen to about 400 before the government stepped in to protect the species. In some countries today, the elephant faces a similar challenge, as illegal hunters kill the animals for the ivory in their tusks.
Yet not all animals with commercial value face this threat (威胁).The cow, for example, is a valuable source of food, but no one worries that the cow will soon be extinct. Why does the commercial value of ivory threaten the elephant. while the commercial value of beef protects the cow
The reason is that elephants are a common resource, while cows are private goods. Elephants wander freely without any owners. The hunter has a strong motivation to kill as many elephants as he can find. Because illegal hunters are numerous, each has only a slight motivation to preserve the elephant population. By contrast, cattle live on farms that are privately owned. Each farmer makes great effort to maintain the cattle population on his farm because he harvests the benefit of these efforts.
Governments have tried to solve the elephant’s problem in two ways. Some countries, such as Kenya and Uganda, have made it illegal to kill elephants and sell their ivory. Yet these laws have been hard to put into effect, and elephant populations have continued to dwindle. By contrast, other countries, such as Malawi and Namibia, have made elephants private goods and allowed people to kill elephants, but only those on their own property.
With private ownership and the profit motive now on its side, the African elephant might someday be as safe from extinction as the cow. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle pointed out the problem with common resources: “What is common to many is taken least care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than for what they possess in common with others.”
8. Why does the author mention buffalo in paragraph 1
A. To introduce a similar threat to elephants.
B. To provide an example of species extinction.
C. To offer an explanation for government policies.
D. To present the statistics of the buffalo in America.
9. Why do elephants face threats while cows are safe
A. They are under different law protection
B. They attract different groups of hunters
C. They contain different commercial value
D. They represent different ownership types
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Bans on killing elephants for ivory
B. Effective laws for elephant protection.
C. Methods of making elephants private goods
D. Government policies on the elephant’s problem
11. What can we learn from Aristotle’s words
A. People hold little regard for others’ property
B. People want to profit from common resources
C. People care more about their own possession
D. People tend to take what they own for granted
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过谈论作为公共资源的大象濒临灭绝，而作为私有财产的饲养牛却能安全生存，说明了人们对私有财产比公共资源更加关心的现象。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Yet hunting the buffalo was so popular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animal’s population had fallen to about 400 before the government stepped in to protect the species. In some countries today, the elephant faces a similar challenge, as illegal hunters kill the animals for the ivory in their tusks. (然而，狩猎水牛在19世纪是如此流行，以至于到了1900年，野牛的数量已经下降到大约400只，直到政府介入保护这个物种。今天在一些国家，大象也面临着类似的挑战，因为非法捕猎者为了获取象牙而捕杀这种动物。)”可知，作者之所以提到水牛，是为了介绍大象所面临的类似威胁。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The reason is that elephants are a common resource, while cows are private goods. (原因是大象是一种公共资源，而牛是私人物品。)”和“Elephants wander freely without any owners. The hunter has a strong motivation to kill as many elephants as he can find. (大象在没有主人的情况下自由走动。猎人有强烈的动机去杀死尽可能多的大象。)” 及“By contrast, cattle live on farms that are privately owned. Each farmer makes great effort to maintain the cattle population on his farm because he harvests the benefit of these efforts. (相比之下，牛生活在私人拥有的农场上。每个农场主都在努力维持农场的牲畜数量，因为他们收获了这些努力的成果。)”可知，之所以大象面临威胁，而奶牛是安全的，是因为它们各自代表着不同的所有权类型。故选D项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Governments have tried to solve the elephant’s problem in two ways. Some countries, such as Kenya and Uganda, have made it illegal to kill elephants and sell their ivory. (各国政府试图通过两种方式来解决大象的问题。一些国家，如肯尼亚和乌干达，已经将猎杀大象和出售象牙定为非法行为。)”以及“By contrast, other countries, such as Malawi and Namibia, have made elephants private goods and allowed people to kill elephants, but only those on their own property. (相比之下，其他国家，如马拉维和纳米比亚，则把大象当作私人物品，允许人们猎杀大象，但仅限于在他们自己的领地上。)”可知，第四段通过举例说明各国政府对大象的政策。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Aristotle所说“What is common to many is taken least care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than for what they possess in common with others. (对大多数人来说共同的东西最不被重视，因为所有人都更关心自己的东西，而不是他们与他人共同拥有的东西。)”可以推知，人们更关心自己的财产。故选C项。
D
If someone created a flying machine capable of tracking you down by listening for your voice, you might be terrified. But what if you were trapped in ruins after a natural disaster and first responders couldn’t locate you Maybe then a human-seeking drone(无人机) wouldn’t be such a terrible idea. That concept is the focus for engineers at Germany’s Fraunhofer FKIE Institute, who’ve built a drone to find people by detecting(探测) human screams.
“The human-seeking drone would be ideal for post-disaster situations, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and wildfires,” said Macarena Varela, one of the lead engineers. “They could hover over an area that rescue crews have difficulty getting to and locate exactly where people may be trapped.”
Locating people by sound presents its share of challenges. An auditory(听觉的) system would need to distinguish human cries from sounds that often happen in nature, such as animal calls and wind. It might also need to recognize patterns associated with kicking, clapping or other ways people try to get the attention of rescue teams.
Engineers took those situations into account when building out their concept drone. They recorded themselves screaming, tapping and creating other noises that might be a sign of people in trouble. Then, they analyzed each sound frequency to find common signatures and used those to train artificial intelligence software. They also worked to remove the noise created by the drone and other environmental sounds.
Once the software part was complete, the team placed tiny digital microphones under the drone and used signal processing techniques that enabled them to track where human noises are coming from. The microphones also enhanced the volume and clarity of the speech. So far, they have conducted successful open field experiments, finding that the drone can estimate a victim’s location within a few seconds of picking up sound.
Next, they would like to add a higher frequency microphone to a drone to acquire more audio sound signals. The idea is to pick up noises from hundreds of meters away, Varela said. In the real world, victim’s location data might one day be sent wirelessly to emergency crews carrying a tablet.
12. What is the advantage of the human-seeking drone
A. Its high speed of flying. B. Its long working hours.
C. Its quick response to screams. D. Its easy access to disaster scene.
13. What can the auditory system do
A. Recognize human cries.
B. Pick up sounds from far away.
C. Send victim’s location data to a tablet.
D. Improve the quality of human screams.
14. What does the underlined word “signatures” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Effects. B. Features. C. Symbols. D. Situations.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. AI Enables Drones to Give Better Performance.
B. Human-seeking Drones Replace Rescue Crews.
C. Rescuers Use Drones to Locate Disaster Survivors.
D. Engineers Teach Drones to Hunt Human Screams.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一种通过探测人类的尖叫声来追踪目标的飞行器，以及这项技术在救援过程中是如何发挥作用的。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“So far, they have conducted successful open field experiments, finding that the drone can estimate a victim’s location within a few seconds of picking up sound. (到目前为止，他们进行了成功的野外实验，发现无人机在捕捉到声音后几秒钟内就能估计出受害者的位置)”可知，无人机捕捉到声音后，几秒内就能估计出声音的位置，说明反应速度很快。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“An auditory(听觉的) system would need to distinguish human cries from sounds that often happen in nature, such as animal calls and wind.(听觉系统需要能区分人类呼救声和自然界里也能听到的声音，如动物叫声和风声。)”可知，这套听觉系统的功能是探测人类的尖叫声。故选A。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“Then, they analyzed each sound frequency(然后，他们分析每个声音的频率)”以及“and used those to train artificial intelligence software.(并用这些来训练人工智能软件)”可知，研究人员通过分析声音的频率特点，然后与人类声音进行比对，最后使用机器对搜寻到的声音进行分析，最终帮助找到失踪人员。由此可知，划线单词是指“声音与声音的共同点”，即共同的特点。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“That concept is the focus for engineers at German’s Fraunhofer FIE Institute, who’ve built a drone to find people by detecting (探测) human screams. (这一概念是德国弗劳恩霍夫五研究所中工程师们所关注的，他们建立了无人机，这种无人机可以通过探测人类的尖叫声而找到他们)”及下文对这种无人机的介绍可知，文章主要讲述了一种通过探测人类的尖叫声来追踪目标的飞行器。由此可知，Engineers Teach Drones to Hunt Human Screams(工程师教无人机捕捉人类的尖叫声)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了日本花样滑冰运动员羽生结弦。
【41题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：有一个被称为“四周半跳”或“4A”，被广泛认为是花样滑冰中最难的跳跃。动词call和代词one之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作后置定语，故填called。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。修饰动词considered应用副词形式，故填widely。
【43题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：这是一种“边跳”，意思是花滑运动员在从冰上起跳落地后必须单脚滑行。动词mean和名词短语edge jump之间是主谓关系，应用现在分词作状语，故填meaning。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：虽然到目前为止还没有人在任何比赛中征服过这一动作，但世界顶级日本滑冰运动员羽生结弦在2022年北京冬奥会期间进行了一次最接近的尝试。根据“so far”可知，句子用现在完成时，主语skater是名词单数，助动词用has，故填has conquered。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：但羽生非常强壮，能够完美地在冰上完成其他人只能尝试的跳跃和移动。jump是可数名词，此处应和名词moves保持一致，用复数形式表示泛指。故填jumps。
46题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：他指出，在这样一个充满爱和欢迎的氛围中比赛是非常好的。atmosphere用作可数名词，此处表示泛指，应用不定冠词，且atmosphere是以元音音素开头，故填an。
【47题详解】
考查介词。句意：他有时看起来更像一个芭蕾舞演员而不是花样滑冰运动员。more...than连接平行结构，意思是“与其说……倒不如说……”，故填than。
【48题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：观众欣赏羽生表演时，能清楚看出他是多么地享受其中，而观众也报以同等的热爱。宾语和主语是同一指代对象，故此处用反身代词作宾语，enjoy oneself过得快活，感到愉快，故填himself。
【49题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这个从家附近的滑冰场走出的小男孩，如今正备受全球各地民众的喜爱。分析句子可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词boy指人，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who引导，故填who。
【50题详解】
考查过去分词。句意同上。主语boy和love之间是被动关系，故主句是一般现在时的被动语态，空处用过去分词。故填loved。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者梦想成为一名宇航员，探索外天空，在父亲的鼓励下，他决定为了梦想而努力，相信梦想一定会实现。
【详解】1.考查固定短语。句意：当我还是个孩子的时候，我对宇宙的一切都很感兴趣。句中涉及固定短语“be interested in…”，意为“对……感兴趣”，句中指“我对宇宙的一切都很感兴趣”。故将interesting改为interested。
2.考查时态。句意：一天，我发现一张Armstrong的照片，他是第一个登上月球的宇航员。根据句中“One day”可知，句子描述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，动词要用过去式，spot意为“发现”，动词词性，过去式为spotted。故将spot改为spotted。
3.考查定语从句。句意：一天，我发现一张Armstrong的照片，他是第一个登上月球的宇航员。根据句意和句子结构可知，本句为非限制性定语从句，先行词为Armstrong，为人，在从句中作主语，故应用关系代词who引导从句。故将which改为who。
4.考查代词。句意：受他的故事的激励，我下定决心要成为一名宇航员，并梦想进入外太空。句中涉及固定短语“make up one’s mind to do sth.”，意为“下决心去做某事”，句子主语为I，故one’s应用my，指“我”下定决心。故将his改为my。
5.考查连词。句意：受他的故事的激励，我下定决心要成为一名宇航员，并梦想进入外太空。句中“made up his mind to become an astronaut”和“dreamed of going into outer space”为并列关系，即下定决心要成为一名宇航员，“并”梦想进入外太空，故应用连词and连接。故将but改为and。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意：在知道我的梦想后，我父亲一直鼓励我要做自己想做的事。句中After为介词，意为“在……之后”，后接动词ing形式，know意为“知道”，动词词性，动词ing形式为knowing。故将know改为knowing。
7.考查固定短语。句意：在知道我的梦想后，我父亲一直鼓励我要做自己想做的事。句中涉及固定短语“follow one’s heart”，意为“做自己想做的事”，符合句意，句中by多余。故将by删除。
8.考查固定短语。句意：此外，他建议我每天锻炼60到90分钟来保持健康。句中涉及固定短语“advise sb. to do sth.”，意为“建议某人做某事”，to后接动词原形，take exercise意为“锻炼，做运动”，为动词短语。故在take前加to。
9.考查名词。句意：此外，他建议我每天锻炼60到90分钟来保持健康。句中minute意为“分钟”，为可数名词，前面有60 to 90修饰，故应用minute的复数形式minutes。故将minute改为minutes。
10.考查形容词。句意：在父亲的鼓励和支持下，我相信我的梦想会实现。句中was为系动词，后应接形容词，修饰主语，confidence意为“信心”，名词词性，对应的形容词为confident，意为“自信的”，句中表示我对“我的梦想会实现”是自信的。故将confidence改为confident。
