I thought I was ready for the challenges of graduate school. However, when I left Nepal to pursue my PhD in a new country, I felt as if I had dropped into an enormous ocean. Instead of being the outgoing person I had been, I suddenly became a shy girl. What’s worse, my research wasn’t progressing, leading me to put in more fruitless hours.
Just then, a friend asked what I would do if I had an extra hour every day. Without hesitation, I said I would use it to help others. After that conversation, I began to search online for volunteer opportunities. Luckily, a local organization that drives old people to stores and appointments was looking for volunteers. I thought it might be just what I needed.
I was a bit anxious before my first ride because I hadn’t interacted much with people outside school. However, my nerves quickly calmed when I picked up an old woman on her way to the supermarket. She was bemused to see a young foreign driver and was full of questions about my background. She shared with me how thankful she was to go shopping and get some fresh air. Connections like these and the smiles on my passenger’ faces motivated me to continue driving.
Sharing stories with my passengers was rewarding. Seeing how eager they were to spend time out inspired me to think about how to spend my time. My previously challenging schedule began to feel manageable. As my confidence grew I began telling my fellow students about the ups and downs in my research and I was surprised to discover that we were in the same boat. As these connections grew, my personality began to reappear.
I’m now close to completing my degree but still facing challenges. My adviser moved to a different university. I’m working to publish my research while also applying for jobs. But these hurdles (难关) now seem easy. I’m really proud of who I have become, and I continue to reflect on how I’m using the most valuable thing in life: my time.
4. What happened to the author at first when studying in a new country
A. Her research was denied by her adviser.
B. She was once dropped into an ocean.
C. She was overcome by her shortcomings.
D. She failed to adapt to the new environment.
5. What did the author volunteer to do
A. Drive for the disabled. B. Fund a local organization.
C. Serve the old citizens. D. Go shopping with the old.
6. What does the underlined word “bemused” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Confused. B. Frightened. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed.
7. What effect did volunteering have on the author
A. Her eagerness to spend timeout was aroused.
B. She regained her confidence and personality.
C. She became more connected with her parents.
D. She became interested in sharing her stories.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是作者的志愿者经历对作者的影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, when I left Nepal to pursue my PhD in a new country, I felt as if I had dropped into an enormous ocean. Instead of being the outgoing person I had been, I suddenly became a shy girl. What’s worse, my research wasn’t progressing, leading me to put in more fruitless hours.(然而，当我离开尼泊尔到一个新的国家攻读博士学位时，我觉得自己好像掉进了一个巨大的海洋。我不再是以前那个外向的人了，我突然变成了一个害羞的女孩。更糟糕的是，我的研究没有进展，导致我投入了更多毫无结果的时间)”可知，作者来到一个新的国家读博士学位之后，原本外向的性格却变得内向，而且研究没有取得进展，浪费了很多时间。由此可知，作者一开始不是很适应新环境。故选D项。
【5题详解】

【6题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词后的“to see a young foreign driver and was full of questions about my background.(看到一个年轻的外国司机，对我的背景充满了疑问)”为不定式短语作原因状语。由此推知，这位老妇人之所以会对作者的背景提出了各种各样的问题，是因为她看见了一个年轻的外国司机而感到困惑不解。由此可知，划线词bemused的意思与confused“困惑的”意义相近。故选A项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“As my confidence grew, I began telling my fellow students about the ups and downs in my research and I was surprised to discover that we were in the same boat. As these connections grew, my personality began to reappear.(随着我信心的增长，我开始告诉同学们我研究中的起起落落，我惊讶地发现我们在同一条船上。随着这些联系的发展，我的个性开始重新显现)”可知，志愿者工作之后，作者的信心在增长，开始与同学进行交流沟通，而且随着沟通的进行，作者的个性也开始重新显现。由此可知，志愿者工作让作者重获自信和个性。故选B项。
C
China’s tea culture has undergone dramatic, changes in recent years. The appearance of new-style teas can be traced back to the cheap roadside milk tea stands of the 1990s. Most of these drinks were made from powdered mixes and contained neither fresh milk nor fresh tea. The base ingredients weren’t updated until the arrival of Taiwan-based brands like CoCo and A Little Tea in the 2000s, leading to innovations such as “cheese tea”. These businesses started the “Milk Tea 2.0” era, transforming the milk tea business from a mixture of small stands into a standardized and fast-moving industry.
But even as the Taiwan-centric “Milk Tea 2.0” revolution was sweeping the world, the seeds of its next evolution were already sprouting (发芽) on the Chinese mainland. In 2012, a 21-year-oldman named Nie Yunchen opened a milk tea store in the small southern city of Jiangmen, where he sold milk tea. By 2020, Nie’s HeyTea had 695 stores worldwide; was worth an estimated, 16 billion yuan, and had attracted a large number of imitators.
The new brands made their mark, by offering a more diverse range of tea bases, often with extras like seasonal fruit sparkling water, cream cheese or nuts.
The viability (可行性) of this business model owes much to China’s widespread embrace of high-end consumerism. Jason Yu, general manager of the market research firm Kantar World panel China, told me that “mothers with refined tastes”, urban white-collar workers, and those born after 1990 are the main drivers of Chinas new-style tea market—and, more broadly, the consumer market as a whole. These groups tend to be defined by busywork and home lives, and they see upscale drinks like tea and coffee not only as a way to quench their thirst (解渴), but also as a source of comfort. In this sense, new-style teas are filling a psychological, rather than a physical need. Many tea brands are aware of this and they have sought to associate themselves with healthy and relaxed lifestyle through their marketing campaigns.
Another driver of new-style tea consumption, according to Yu, is the desire among young people to combine consumption with social activity. “The goal of consumption for this generation of consumers is socializing,” Yu, said “You rarely see a person drinking Hey Tea by himself.”
8. How were new-style teas influenced by Taiwan-based brands
A. These brands gave them a new name.
B. These brands changed their ingredients.
C. These brands in proved-their marketing.
D. These brands made them a healthier drink.
9. What can We learn about Nie’s HeyTea
A. It can compete with “Milk Tea 2.0”. B. It is targeted at high-income groups.
C. It has a good market at home and abroad. D. It gradually develops the domestic market.
10. How do many tea brands advertise their products
A. By improving the brand image. B. By stressing their relaxing effect.
C. By showing their nutritious value. D. By comparing them with other products.
11. What makes new-style teas popular with young people according to Yu
A. The low price. B. Their rich variety.
C. The chance to socialize. D. Their desire To show off.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是21世纪的新茶饮文化。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“The base ingredients weren’t updated until the arrival of Taiwan-based brands like CoCo and A Little Tea in the 2000s, leading to innovations such as “cheese tea”.(直到21世纪初，CoCo和A Little Tea等台湾品牌的到来，基础成分才得以更新，从而产生了“奶酪茶”等创新。)”可知，台湾一些品牌的到来之前，基础的奶茶配料没有被改变，由此可知，一些台湾奶茶品牌的到来改变了之前奶茶的基本配料。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“By 2020, Nie’s HeyTea had 695 stores worldwide; was worth an estimated, 16 billion yuan, and had attracted a large number of imitators.(到2020年，聂的喜茶在全球拥有695家门店；估计价值160亿元，并吸引了大量的模仿者。)”可知，到 2020年，喜茶在全球有 695家门店，并且吸引了大量的模仿者，由此推知，它在国内外都有很好的市场。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Many tea brands are aware of this and they have sought to associate themselves with healthy and relaxed lifestyle through their marketing campaigns.(许多茶叶品牌都意识到了这一点，他们试图通过营销活动将自己与健康和轻松的生活方式联系起来。)”可知，很多茶饮品牌将自己与健康轻松的生活方式联系在一起，即通过强调茶饮的放松效果来做广告推广。故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的““The goal of consumption for this generation of consumers is socializing,” Yu, said “You rarely see a person drinking Hey Tea by himself.”(“这一代消费者的消费目标是社交，” Yu说，“你很少看到一个人独自喝喜茶。”)”可知，Yu认为这一代消费者的消费目标是社交，由此可知，年轻人之所以消费这类茶饮，是为了社交。故选C。
D
With a relatively small population, pandas are not out of the woods or the bamboo forest just yet. The biggest threat to the wild panda population is habitat loss. And while around 34%0f its wild habitat is protected, these areas are still vulnerable to natural disasters, such as wildfires. To protect panda habitat, the Digital Panda System, developed by the Sichuan Forest and Grassland Administration and Chinese technology giant Huawei, was used effectively across forest and grasslands in Sichuan Province
The instant reporting system helps to detect wildfires in hard-to-reach areas, alerting fire departments so they can react quickly, as well as monitoring wildlife. Meanwhile, another smart technology-facial recognition could help identify individual pandas more accurately. Each panda has a unique facial structure and hair pattern. To the human eye, their fur-covered faces all look the same, but computer programs are able to distinguish the differences.
The system collects data from over 600 cameras, drones (无人机) and satellites, which it stores in the cloud. Researchers use this data to monitor, track and study wildlife as well as detect wildfire hotspots. Because the cameras are used in remote areas where there is little or no electricity, the system is solar-powered and uses microwave transmission (传送), which doesn’t require cables (电缆).
The system assists 140,000 forest rangers, grassland managers, conservationists and researchers in Sichuan. In its first five months of operations, it detected 651 wildfire hotspots, reducing forest fires by 71.6% compared to the same period the previous year.
Despite its name, the Digital Panda System offers protection to more than just pandas. The system covers the Sichuan section of the newly established Giant Panda National Park. The park is home to most of China’s 1800 wild pandas along with a further 8,000 animal and plant species. In the future, the digital panda system could be extended across the sections of the national park that lie in Shanxi and Gansu provinces, creating more success stories for other endangered species.
12. Why was the Digital Panda System built
A. To record wildlife population.
B. To protect wild pandas from losing habitat.
C. To increase forest and grassland coverage.
D. To provide pandas with more bamboos as food.
13. What do we know about the system
A. Computer programs identify pandas by size.
B. The data collected is mainly stored in cameras.
C. Smart technology plays an important role in its operation.
D. The system fails to collect data in areas without access to electricity.
14. What is the purpose of listing figures in paragraph 4
A. To prove the effectiveness of the system.
B. To show the various functions of system.
C. To illustrate the data collection process of the program.
D. To compare the advantages and disadvantages of the system.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The system aims at saving pandas only.
B. The system has already gone into service nationwide.
C. The system is likely to benefit other animals facing extinction.
D. The system offers protection to all the species in Sichuan Province.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章旨在介绍数字熊猫系统的运用对濒危物种的保护作用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“To protect panda habitat, the Digital Panda System, co- developed by the Sichuan government and Chinese technology giant Huawei, was used effectively across forest and grasslands in Sichuan Province.(为了保护熊猫栖息地，四川省森林和草原管理局和中国科技巨头华为共同开发的数字熊猫系统在四川省的森林和草原上得到了有效的使用)”可知，数字熊猫系统是为了保护野生大熊猫栖息地免于丧失。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“The instant reporting system helps to detect wildfires in hard-to-reach areas, alerting fire departments so they can react quickly, as well as monitoring wildlife. Meanwhile, another smart technology-facial recognition could help identify individual pandas more accurately. Each panda has a unique facial structure and hair pattern. To the human eye, their fur-covered faces all look the same, but computer programs are able to distinguish the differences.( 即时报告系统有助于在难以到达的地区发现野火，向消防部门发出警报，以便他们迅速作出反应，并监测野生动物。与此同时，另一项智能技术——面部识别可以帮助更准确地识别大熊猫个体。每只熊猫都有独特的面部结构和毛发图案。在人眼看来，它们覆盖着皮毛的脸看起来都是一样的，但计算机程序能够区分这些差异。)”可推断，智能技术在其运行中发挥着重要作用。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The system assists 140,000 forest rangers, grassland managers, conservationists and researchers in Sichuan. In its first five months of operations, it detected 651 wildfire hotspots, reducing forest fires by 71.6% compared to the same period the previous year. (该系统为四川14万名护林员、草原管理者、自然资源保护人士和研究人员提供了帮助。在最初的五个月里，它发现了651个野火地点，与上年同期相比使森林火灾减少了71. 6%)”可推知，通过这些数字可以证明这个系统是非常有效的。故选A项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In the future, the digital panda system could be extended across the sections of the national park that lie in Shanxi and Gansu provinces, creating more success stories for other endangered species. (未来，数字熊猫系统可能会扩展到位于山西和甘肃省的国家公园，为其他濒危物种创造更多成功的故事。)”可知，该系统可能有利于其他濒临灭绝的动物。故选D项。

Signs That You Are Growing
Growing is a lifelong process. Here are the signs that show that you are actually growing and not getting stuck in the process.

Often, we see how badly people look when they get overly upset due to unimportant things. So the first sign of maturity (成熟) is letting the small things go and not getting angry over a tiny detail that didn’t go as you planned.
You start forgiving and understanding other people
When we are young, we are often unforgiving. As we mature, we are better able to understand the world beyond black and white. ____17____. It enables us to look beyond the obvious and let go of simple judgments. We begin to understand better that others have complex (复杂的) lives and personalities, and so we become more willing to forgive their mistakes.
You always complete things that matter
Immature people don’t know when to commit (承诺) themselves and their energy or resources are always not well employed. ____18____. In this way, they can often keep their promises and honor their commitments.
You accept the possibility of being wrong
____19____. They are always able to accept the possibility that they are wrong, that they don’t know something, because there is always more to learn.
Being mature is knowing that you are always growing up. You are never done learning and developing. This means that you don’t set yourself up as the highest authority. ____20____.
A. You follow the crowd
B. You let the small things go
C. Instead, mature people focus on completing things that matter
D. Immature and mature people can both have plans for their lives

【16题详解】
根据本段内容“Often, we see how badly people look when they get overly upset due to unimportant things. So the first sign of maturity (成熟) is letting the small things go and not getting angry over a tiny detail that didn’t go as you planned.(通常，我们看到人们因为不重要的事情而过度沮丧时的样子是多么糟糕。所以成熟的第一个标志就是让小事过去，不要因为没有按计划进行的小细节而生气)”可知，本段提到“让小事过去，不要因为没有按计划进行的小细节而生气”，即建议不计较小事情。故B项“你不计较小事”适合作本节的小标题。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据标题“You start forgiving and understanding other people(你开始原谅和理解别人)”；空前“As we mature, we are better able to understand the world beyond black and white.(随着我们的成熟，我们能够更好地理解非黑即白的世界)”及空后“It enables us to look beyond the obvious and let go of simple judgments.(它使我们能够超越显而易见的事物，放弃简单的判断)”可知，本段的主旨是理解他人，更好地理解非黑即白的世界，F选项中understanding对应标题中understanding。故F项“变得更加善解人意是一种力量，而不是软弱”符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据空前“Immature people don’t know when to commit (承诺) themselves and their energy or resources are always not well employed.(不成熟的人不知道什么时候该承诺自己，他们的精力和资源总是没有得到很好的利用)”及空后“In this way, they can often keep their promises and honor their commitments.(通过这种方式，他们通常可以遵守他们的承诺和履行他们的承诺)”可知，上文提到了不成熟的人的做法，可知本句是在说明成熟的人会怎么做。C选项中mature people与上文Immature people相对应。故C项“相反，成熟的人专注于完成重要的事情”符合语境。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据本节的小标题“You accept the possibility of being wrong(你接受错误的可能性)”及空后“They are always able to accept the possibility that they are wrong, that they don’t know something, because there is always more to learn.(他们总是能够接受自己错了的可能性，接受自己不知道的可能性，因为总有更多的东西需要学习)”可知，后文提到了某种人能够接受自己错了的可能性，认识到有更多的东西需要学习，G选项中Mature people对应后文They。故G项“成熟的人看起来更自信，然而，他们并不是过度自信”符合语境。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据空前“You are never done learning and developing. This means that you don’t set yourself up as the highest authority.(你永远不会停止学习和发展。这意味着你没有把自己设定为最高权威)”可知，上文提到了“没有把自己设定为最高权威”，故本句与上文构成转折，指出这种特性会导致的结果：你会敞开心扉接受其他的想法和新的可能性。故E项“相反，你会敞开心扉接受其他的想法和新的可能性”符合语境。故选E。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One sunny Saturday morning, I got ready for a hike with my classmates. I was so excited about it since it was my first time to go hiking. I ate a light breakfast just a few slices of bread and an egg. After that I grabbed my backpack and hurriedly ran out of my house and then met my classmates at the school gate. At that time I didn’t think that there would be a terrible disaster ahead.
The jungle (丛林) that we are going to was far from our area. Its name was Salymbia Jungle. The drive was 3 hours long but it was not a dull ride as we were all eager about the hike and we bad each other’s company. We appointed a guide and his name was Thomas. He said that he had hiked in the Salymbia Jungle lots of times, and he was familiar with the pathways. When we arrived, Thomas allowed us to begin. There were a wide variety of plants which I had never seen before. The smell of the jungle was so earthy. All of us were amazed by the beauty of the scenery and the sound of the creatures.
After a while we were walking and then I looked at my wrist (手腕) to check the time but then I realized my watch had fallen off. Then I walked back without telling anyone. I did not worry about getting lost since there were other persons behind and I thought I would have been able to catch up with my classmates. I went back searching the pathway and I lost track of time and lost sight of my classmates. I immediately realized that I was alone.
After I realized I was lost, the first thing I did was to check my phone to see how far away I was from my companions. However, I was having no luck because there was no network in my phone, which made my phone practically useless.
Paragraph 1: The sky started to become darker.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: As I was falling asleep, I heard a human voice.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The sky started to become darker. I didn’t know what to do, so I called out to my classmates but there was no reply. I looked for a way but none of the scenes seemed familiar. I walked for a few more minutes, hoping to meet other people behind, but once again it didn’t worked. I was scared hungry and helpless. Still, I know it is no use being anxious. I needed to keep calm. I decided to stay where I was, saving my energy until the rescue team arrived.
As I was falling asleep, I heard a human voice. I doubted my ears but then I heard someone else. I screamed, “Help!” There was a note of excitement in my voice. They were rescuers who had come searching for me because my classmates reported my loss. They took me back to the bus. The moment I saw my classmates, I couldn’t control my tears in my eyes. They kept asking if I was hurt and what had happened. When they learned I was safe, they were relieved. What an unforgettable experience!

I thought I was ready for the challenges of graduate school. However, when I left Nepal to pursue my PhD in a new country, I felt as if I had dropped into an enormous ocean. Instead of being the outgoing person I had been, I suddenly became a shy girl. What’s worse, my research wasn’t progressing, leading me to put in more fruitless hours.
Just then, a friend asked what I would do if I had an extra hour every day. Without hesitation, I said I would use it to help others. After that conversation, I began to search online for volunteer opportunities. Luckily, a local organization that drives old people to stores and appointments was looking for volunteers. I thought it might be just what I needed.
I was a bit anxious before my first ride because I hadn’t interacted much with people outside school. However, my nerves quickly calmed when I picked up an old woman on her way to the supermarket. She was bemused to see a young foreign driver and was full of questions about my background. She shared with me how thankful she was to go shopping and get some fresh air. Connections like these and the smiles on my passenger’ faces motivated me to continue driving.
Sharing stories with my passengers was rewarding. Seeing how eager they were to spend time out inspired me to think about how to spend my time. My previously challenging schedule began to feel manageable. As my confidence grew, I began telling my fellow students about the ups and downs in my research and I was surprised to discover that we were in the same boat. As these connections grew, my personality began to reappear.
I’m now close to completing my degree but still facing challenges. My adviser moved to a different university. I’m working to publish my research while also applying for jobs. But these hurdles (难关) now seem easy. I’m really proud of who I have become, and I continue to reflect on how I’m using the most valuable thing in life: my time.
4. What happened to the author at first when studying in a new country
A. Her research was denied by her adviser.
B. She was once dropped into an ocean.
C. She was overcome by her shortcomings.
D. She failed to adapt to the new environment.
5. What did the author volunteer to do
A. Drive for the disabled. B. Fund a local organization.
C. Serve the old citizens. D. Go shopping with the old.
6. What does the underlined word “bemused” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Confused. B. Frightened. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed.
7. What effect did volunteering have on the author
A. Her eagerness to spend timeout was aroused.
B. She regained her confidence and personality.
C. She became more connected with her parents.
D. She became interested in sharing her stories.

China’s tea culture has undergone dramatic, changes in recent years. The appearance of new-style teas can be traced back to the cheap roadside milk tea stands of the 1990s. Most of these drinks were made from powdered mixes and contained neither fresh milk nor fresh tea. The base ingredients weren’t updated until the arrival of Taiwan-based brands like CoCo and A Little Tea in the 2000s, leading to innovations such as “cheese tea”. These businesses started the “Milk Tea 2.0” era, transforming the milk tea business from a mixture of small stands into a standardized and fast-moving industry.
But even as the Taiwan-centric “Milk Tea 2.0” revolution was sweeping the world, the seeds of its next evolution were already sprouting (发芽) on the Chinese mainland. In 2012, a 21-year-oldman named Nie Yunchen opened a milk tea store in the small southern city of Jiangmen, where he sold milk tea. By 2020, Nie’s HeyTea had 695 stores worldwide; was worth an estimated, 16 billion yuan, and had attracted a large number of imitators.
The new brands made their mark, by offering a more diverse range of tea bases, often with extras like seasonal fruit sparkling water, cream cheese or nuts.
The viability (可行性) of this business model owes much to China’s widespread embrace of high-end consumerism. Jason Yu, general manager of the market research firm Kantar World panel China, told me that “mothers with refined tastes”, urban white-collar workers, and those born after 1990 are the main drivers of Chinas new-style tea market—and, more broadly, the consumer market as a whole. These groups tend to be defined by busywork and home lives, and they see upscale drinks like tea and coffee not only as a way to quench their thirst (解渴), but also as a source of comfort. In this sense, new-style teas are filling a psychological, rather than a physical need. Many tea brands are aware of this and they have sought to associate themselves with healthy and relaxed lifestyle through their marketing campaigns.
Another driver of new-style tea consumption, according to Yu, is the desire among young people to combine consumption with social activity. “The goal of consumption for this generation of consumers is socializing,” Yu, said “You rarely see a person drinking Hey Tea by himself.”
8. How were new-style teas influenced by Taiwan-based brands
A. These brands gave them a new name.
B These brands changed their ingredients.
C These brands in proved-their marketing.
D. These brands made them a healthier drink.
9. What can We learn about Nie’s HeyTea
A. It can compete with “Milk Tea 2.0”. B. It is targeted at high-income groups.
C. It has a good market at home and abroad. D. It gradually develops the domestic market.
10. How do many tea brands advertise their products
A. By improving the brand image. B. By stressing their relaxing effect.
C. By showing their nutritious value. D. By comparing them with other products.
11. What makes new-style teas popular with young people according to Yu
A. The low price. B. Their rich variety.
C. The chance to socialize. D. Their desire To show off.
D
With a relatively small population, pandas are not out of the woods or the bamboo forest just yet. The biggest threat to the wild panda population is habitat loss.

To protect panda habitat, the Digital Panda System, developed by the Sichuan Forest and Grassland Administration and Chinese technology giant Huawei, was used effectively across forest and grasslands in Sichuan Province
The instant reporting system helps to detect wildfires in hard-to-reach areas, alerting fire departments so they can react quickly, as well as monitoring wildlife. Meanwhile, another smart technology-facial recognition could help identify individual pandas more accurately. Each panda has a unique facial structure and hair pattern. To the human eye, their fur-covered faces all look the same, but computer programs are able to distinguish the differences.
The system collects data from over 600 cameras, drones (无人机) and satellites, which it stores in the cloud. Researchers use this data to monitor, track and study wildlife as well as detect wildfire hotspots. Because the cameras are used in remote areas where there is little or no electricity, the system is solar-powered and uses microwave transmission (传送), which doesn’t require cables (电缆).
The system assists 140,000 forest rangers, grassland managers, conservationists and researchers in Sichuan. In its first five months of operations, it detected 651 wildfire hotspots, reducing forest fires by 71.6% compared to the same period the previous year.
Despite its name, the Digital Panda System offers protection to more than just pandas. The system covers the Sichuan section of the newly established Giant Panda National Park. The park is home to most of China’s 1800 wild pandas along with a further 8,000 animal and plant species. In the future, the digital panda system could be extended across the sections of the national park that lie in Shanxi and Gansu provinces, creating more success stories for other endangered species.
12. Why was the Digital Panda System built
A. To record wildlife population.

A. To prove the effectiveness of the system.
B. To show the various functions of system.
C. To illustrate the data collection process of the program.
D. To compare the advantages and disadvantages of the system.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The system aims at saving pandas only.
B. The system has already gone into service nationwide.
C. The system is likely to benefit other animals facing extinction.
D. The system offers protection to all the species in Sichuan Province.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One sunny Saturday morning, I got ready for a hike with my classmates. I was so excited about it since it was my first time to go hiking. I ate a light breakfast just a few slices of bread and an egg. After that I grabbed my backpack and hurriedly ran out of my house and then met my classmates at the school gate. At that time I didn’t think that there would be a terrible disaster ahead.
The jungle (丛林) that we are going to was far from our area. Its name was Salymbia Jungle. The drive was 3 hours long but it was not a dull ride as we were all eager about the hike and we bad each other’s company. We appointed a guide and his name was Thomas. He said that he had hiked in the Salymbia Jungle lots of times, and he was familiar with the pathways. When we arrived, Thomas allowed us to begin. There were a wide variety of plants which I had never seen before. The smell of the jungle was so earthy. All of us were amazed by the beauty of the scenery and the sound of the creatures.
After a while we were walking and then I looked at my wrist (手腕) to check the time but then I realized my watch had fallen off. Then I walked back without telling anyone. I did not worry about getting lost since there were other persons behind and I thought I would have been able to catch up with my classmates. I went back searching the pathway and I lost track of time and lost sight of my classmates. I immediately realized that I was alone.
After I realized I was lost, the first thing I did was to check my phone to see how far away I was from my companions. However, I was having no luck because there was no network in my phone, which made my phone practically useless.
Paragraph 1: The sky started to become darker.
