（2025·广东清远·二模）It’s back-to-school time again, and among the ranks of new university students are working professionals.
Two new adult learners at Xi’ an Jiaotong-Liverpool University(XJTLU) in Suzhou say despite the challenges of returning to school after years away, they believe it’ll be worth it. Both plan to strengthen their professional skills with master’s degrees from XJTLU’s International Business School Suzhou.
While Hamed Azimidizaj has become an experienced engineer and manager over nearly 15years in the car industry, he wants to broaden his knowledge. Originally from Iran, he’s lived in China for five years. “Now I see that experience alone is not enough. You need to bring knowledge to the industry in order to make improvements, and I’m seeking to learn more so that I can make a change,” he says.
Qin Qian, Marketing Manager at the Taicang branch of a German environmental testing equipment company, is responsible for driving new business development strategies. She hopes to build a system to expand the company’s business with new markets in China.
“In today’s competitive business world, just keeping up with rapid technological advances is not enough,” she says. “How can my team make the company more competitive How can we successfully break into new markets I’ve been thinking about these questions for two years, and eventually I came to believe the best way is to further my studies in this field.”
For students considering further study, Azimidizaj says Suzhou provides a comfortable environment, with its mix of modern facilities and ancient culture. Qian advises others thinking about going back to school to make careful decisions and then pursue goals wholeheartedly. “Sometimes, choice is more important than effort. Making good decisions matters because mistakes are expensive,” says Qian. “But once you’ve decided, you should go after it with everything you’ve got. Life is too short to wait.”

（2025·广东云浮·一模）At first, Jason M. Allen was almost too nervous to enter his first art competition. Now, his award-winning picture is getting more and more people thinking whether art can be produced by a computer, and what, exactly, it means to be an artist.
In August 2022, Allen, a game designer, won first place in the “new artists” division’s “digital arts” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. His winning picture, titled “Thé tre D’opéra Spatial” (French for “Space Opera Theater”), was made with Midjourney—an artificial intelligence system that can generate detailed images (图像) when fed with some written keywords.
The definition for the category in which Allen competed states that digital art refers to works that use “digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process.” Allen said that Midjourney was used to create his image when he entered the contest.
Midjourney is just one of a growing number of such AI image generators. The newness of these tools and how they’re used to produce images have led to debates about whether they can truly make art or assist humans in making art.
“Is there someone to tell Allen why we don’t let robots participate in the Olympics ” one Twitter user commented.
While Allen didn’t even use a paintbrush to create his winning piece, there was plenty of complicated work involved, he said. “It’s not like you’re just smashing words together and winning competitions.” To get the final work of art he entered in the competition, he said, took more than 80 hours. “Rather than hating the technology or the people behind it, we need to recognize that it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forward.”
Cal Duran, an artist who was one of the judges for the competition, said that he didn’t realize that it was generated by AI when judging it. Still, he sticks to his decision to award it first place in its category, calling it a “beautiful piece”.
Allen won’t yet say what the text prompt (提示词) was behind his winning image—he’s planning to keep it a secret until he publishes a larger related work that he hopes will be finished later this year.
5．What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A．To emphasize the importance of applying technology to art.
B．To show the social influence of AI-generated art winning a prize.
C．To describe the threat from AI image generators to human artists.
D．To suggest a way to increase creativity for artists in modern times.
6．What should a user provide for Midjourney to create an image
A．Text instructions. B．Creative thoughts.
C．Images for reference. D．Knowledge about art.
7．What is the Twitter user’s attitude towards Allen’s work produced by AI
A．Positive. B．Negative.
C．Objective. D．Ambiguous.
8．Which of the following is true about “Thé tre D’opéra Spatial”
A．It took Allen less than 3 days to finally get the image.
B．It has made the application of AI in art widely accepted.
C．Cal Duran once doubted whether it was produced by AI.
D．More of its information may be revealed in the near future.
（2025·广东湛江·一模）A New Zealand man playing his first-ever competitive Scrabble game (拼字游戏) in Spanish has won the board game’s Spanish-language world title — despite not being able to speak the Spanish language. Nigel Richards, a professional player who holds five English-language world titles, won the Spanish World Scrabble championships in Granada, Spain, in November, losing one game out of 24.
“Richards started memorizing the language’s Scrabble word list a year ago,” his friend Liz Fagerlund — a New Zealand Scrabble official — told The Associated Press.
“He can’t understand why other people can’t just do the same thing,” Liz Fagerlund said. “He can look at a block of words together, and once they go into his brain as a picture he can just recall that very easily.”
Nothing like the New Zealander’s achievement had ever happened in Spanish Scrable according to Alejandro Terenzani, a contest organizer, who said, “It was impossible to react negatively; you can only be amazed.”
Richards has done this before. In 2015, he became the French-language Scrabble world champion, despite not speaking French. He took the French title again in 2018.
Richards is recognized in international Scrabble as the greatest player of all time. In 2008 he became the first player ever to hold the world US and British titles at the same time, despite having to “forget” 40,000 English words that do not appear in the American Scrabble word list to win in the US.
Scrabble does not require players to know the definitions of words, only what combinations of letters are allowed, but native speakers do have an advantage. Richards’ mother once told a New Zealand newspaper that he was not excellent at English in school, never attended university, and took a mathematical approach to the game rather than a linguistic (语言学的) one.
9．What is a must to play a Scrabble game
A．Memorizing a word list. B．Building picture blocks.
C．Being fluent in multiple languages. D．Winning titles in spelling competitions.
10．What did Alejandro Terenzani think of Richards’ achievement
A．Integrated. B．Inspiring. C．Unsustainable. D．Unmatched.
11．How is the American Scrabble game different from the English one
A．They involve different skill sets. B．They award winners in different ways.
C．They have different word coverage. D．They require different registration processes.
12．What did Richards’ mother say about him
A．He learned five languages. B．He performed excellently at university.
C．He owed his success to a special approach. D．He took advantage of being a native Spanish speaker.
（2025·广东佛山·二模）Denmark, known for its inventive restaurants and elegant design studios, is about to become known for something more basic: the world’s first belch (打嗝) and manure (粪便) tax.
That’s because there are five times as many pigs and cows in Denmark as there are people. Nearly two-thirds of its land is taken up by farming. And agriculture is becoming its largest share of climate pollution, putting lawmakers under intense public pressure to reduce it. So now, Denmark’s government, has agreed to tax the methane emissions (甲烷排放) released by farm animals. The measure was passed this month, making it the only such climate tax on farm animals in the world.
“I think it’s good,” said Rasmus, a 31-year-old citizen who was shopping for dinner in Copenhagen. “It’s a gentle push to encourage plant-based diets, perhaps fewer pork choices.”
The tax is part of a larger package designed to clean up the country’s agricultural pollution and eventually restore some farmland to its natural form, like peat lands (泥炭地), which are exceptionally good at trapping planet-heating gases underground but were emptied decades ago.
Denmark’s effort is also a wake-up call for many agricultural nations, including the United States, as they face the same calls to reduce pollution from farms.
Globally, the food system accounts for a fourth of greenhouse gases, and reducing those emissions requires making tough choices on diets, jobs and industries. That makes food a particularly challenging climate problem to address. No wonder that efforts to reduce agriculture’s climate emissions have faced strong resistance, from Brussels to Delhi to Wellington, where the New Zealand government proposed a burp tax in 2022 only to have a later government overturn it. Even Denmark’s measure faced heated political debates and has been under negotiation for years. The measure was finally passed in November. Starting in 2030, it will charge farmers 300 Danish kroner (around $43) for every ton of carbon dioxide. By 2035, the tax will more than double to 750 kroner (S106).
A bigger, more difficult dilemma still looms: Will Denmark continue to tum over so much of its land to cows and pigs
13．Why did Denmark introduce a “belch and manure” tax
A．To boost its tourism through new taxes.
B．To improve animal welfare on farms.
C．To reduce climate pollution from animals.
D．To take a lead role in environmental protection.
14．What can be inferred about the new tax
A．It is opposed by most citizens in Denmark.
B．It aims to ultimately restore natural landscapes.
C．It will quickly address the agricultural pollution.
D．It has drawn inspiration from the United States.
15．What is the main idea of paragraph 6
A．Praising Denmark’s successful tax measure.
B．Comparing the food policies of different countries.
C．Discussing the benefits of reducing farm emissions.
D．Explaining the challenges in cutting farm emissions.
16．What does the text mainly talk about
A．Denmark’s groundbreaking emission tax.
B．How Denmark reshapes global farming.
C．The future of Denmark’s agricultural industry.
D．Global struggle to reduce agricultural pollution.
（2025·广东江门·一模）In 2023 the Falcon 9 launched over a thousand tonnes of payload into orbit. The first stages of the Falcon 9 have been successfully reused after returning from space and landing themselves more than 300 times.
“Reentry” by Eric Berger, the senior space editor at Ars Technica, describes how this was achieved. The ingredients which produced the Falcon 9 were excellent engineers, a new form of government support for spaceflight, a hard-driving culture and an extraordinarily demanding boss.
The book starts with a story in 2008. SpaceX’s first rocket, the Falcon 1, was small, troublesome and uncommercial. By the time it finally reached orbit — on the fourth attempt — SpaceX had burned through almost all the money that Elon Musk, the company’s founder, had available. For the company to have a future, it needed some big government contracts, and that required a much larger launcher: the Falcon 9, which required nine of the Merlin engines that powered the Falcon 1 to be joined together.
That challenge fell to Tom Mueller, SpaceX’s first employee, who had developed the Merlin engine in the first place. His team’s efforts led to the arguably company-saving first test firing of the Falcon 9’s first stage in November 2008. “We were out there beating history, but Elon was still pissed at us,” Mr Mueller said. “Like everything else we’ve ever done, it was way slower than Elon wanted.”
Mr Berger’s book is full of stories of impressive achievements being met in such ways. It also shows clearly why people put up with such things. Mr Musk’s employees knew that he really cared about making better rockets, and that he was taking big financial risks. But they came to value his insistence on the overall goal of making a rocket that was largely reusable.
17．What is “Reentry” about
A．The process of reusing the Falcon 9. B．Achievements made by the government.
C．The personal life of the demanding boss. D．Elements leading to the Falcon 9’s success.
18．What can we learn from paragraph 3
A．The Falcon l was a total failure. B．The Falcon 9 was upgraded greatly.
C．The Falcon 9 cost all the company’s money. D．SpaceX has a future without government’s support.
19．What does the underlined phrase “pissed at” in paragraph 4 mean
A．mad at B．content with C．sad about D．moved by
20．Which of the following best describes Mr Musk from the text
A．Rude and insistent. B．Demanding and gentle.
C．Tough and persistent. D．Impatient and determined.
（2025·广东广州·模拟预测）Camel caravans(商队) crossing desert dunes, merchants trading silks and spices at markets—these are the images that come to mind when we think of the Silk Road. But the reality goes far beyond this.
Rather than a single trade route from East to West, the Silk Road was made up of overlapping (重叠的) networks linking communities across Asia, Africa and Europe, from East Asia to Britain, and from Scandinavia to Madagascar. This major exhibition unveils how the journeys of people, objects and ideas that formed the Silk Road shaped cultures and histories.
The Silk Road was in use for thousands of years, but this visually stunning show focuses on a defining period in its history, from about AD 500 to 1000. This time witnessed significant leaps in connectivity and the rise of universal religions that linked communities across continents.
Working with 29 national and international partners to present objects from many regions and cultures alongside those from the British Museum collection, the exhibition offers a unique chance to see objects from the length and width of the Silk Road. From Tang Chinese ceramics exported to the Middle East to Indian garnets found in Suffolk, they reveal the astonishing reach of these networks.
Highlight objects from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan that have never been seen in the UK before also emphasize the importance of these regions to this continent-spanning story.
You’ll meet figures whose stories are interwoven(交织) with the Silk Road, including Willibald, an ingenious spice smuggler from England, and a legendary Chinese princess who shared the secrets of silk farming with her new kingdom. Crossing deserts, mountains, rivers and seas, the Silk Road tell a story of connection between cultures and continents, centuries before the formation of the globalized world we know today.

（2024·广东佛山·一模）Some police departments in the United States are experimenting with artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help them produce incident reports. Police officers who have tried the AI chatbots praise the technology as a time-saver. Yet some government lawyers, legal experts, and others have expressed concern about the AI-produced reports.
James Frank, an officer in Oklahoma City, describes Axion's chatbot, which uses the same technology as ChatGPT, as a “game changer”. Recently, after searching for suspects, Frank used AI to produce a report in just eight seconds, compared to the usual 30 to 45 minutes. The tool considered all the sounds and radio talks recorded by his body camera microphone, producing a report that Frank thought was better than he could have ever written, and 100 percent accurate. “It flowed better. It even documented an event I forgot: another officer identifying the color of the suspects’car,” he said
Axion's founder, Mark Brown, acknowledges the tool's positive reaction but also points out potential legal and moral problems. Government lawyers want to ensure that officers remain responsible for their reports, especially when they might declare in court. “They never want to get an officer on the stand who says that the AI wrote that, not him,” Brown explained.
AI technology isn't new for police agencies; many already use such tools for license plate recognition, suspect identification, and crime prediction. Some departments, like in Indiana, permit the use of Draft One, which is also an AI tool, for all incident reports, while in Oklahoma City, police limit its use to minor reports that don't lead to arrests.
Experts and police officials expect AI-generated reports to become more common in the future. However, Andrew Johnson, a law professor at American University, expresses concern that the ease of use of these technologies might lead to less careful documentation by police officers. Johnson emphasizes the importance of police reports in determining whether an officer's suspicion (怀疑) justifies someone's loss of liberty, noting that these reports are often the only testimony (证据) a judge sees in court cases, particularly for minor crimes. While acknowledging that human-created police reports also have their own issues, Johnson wonders which type of report writer, the police or AI, is more reliable.
27．What does the underlined phrase “game changer” in Paragraph 2 imply
A．It helps search for suspects.
B．It brings changes to the law.
C．It saves time in writing police reports.
D．It reminds officers of forgotten information.
28．What is the purpose of Paragraph 4
A．To introduce a new AI technology.
B．To explain the process of using AI.
C．To list AI applications in police departments.
D．To argue against AI reports in police agencies.
29．Which of the following may Andrew Johnson agree with
A．Police reports are no longer significant in court.
B．Easy AI use might encourage careless police reports.
C．AI-generated police reports are increasingly popular.
D．Police reports written by humans are more trustworthy.
30．The passage is most likely a(n) ________ .
A．news report B．advertisement
C．police document D．scientific research paper
（2024·广东清远·一模）Airplane turbulence (颠簸) is often the “criminal” when someone's suitcase falls out of an overhead bin. Now, though, it’s being blamed for causing an airline to remove a popular snack from its inflight offerings. Korean Air has announced that it will no longer serve ramyeon instant noodles (辛拉面) to passengers traveling in economy class on long flights.
“In the case of ramyeon service, burn accidents occur frequently due to hot water,” the airline said in a press release. “In economy class, flight attendants must move several cups of noodles filled with hot water at once, and passengers are crowded together, so the risk of burns has been high.”
The airline explained that the change to its inflight snack service on long-distance routes is in response to the increasing trend of turbulence. According to the airline, the number of turbulence occurrences more than doubled in 2024 compared to 2019.
“To enhance passenger satisfaction, a self-service snack bar is also available on long flights. We are committed to ensuring passenger safety and will select snacks on each route based on different customer preterences,” the release added. Those snacks include sandwiches, corn dogs, pizza, hot pockets, cookies, chocolate, fruits and so on.
Korean Air, which was ranked the 11th best airline in the world for 2024, is one of the many airline companies thinking about the long-term risks of turbulence, which experts say is increasing because of climate change.
In 2022, Paul Williams, a professor of atmospheric science at the University of Reading in the UK said that Industry models predicted a double-or three-fold increase in turbulence in the coming years. “Typically, on a transatlantic flight, you might expect 10 minutes of turbulence. I think that in a few decades this may increase to 20 minutes or to half an hour.” he said.
31．Why does Korean Aur make the announcement
A．To satisfy passengers special needs. B．To prevent burn accidents occurring.
C．To avoid frequent airplane turbulence. D．To reduce flight attendants’ workload.
32．What do we know about Korean Airs self-service snack bar
A．It serves on selective routes. B．It is set up by some passengers.
C．It will close down temporarily. D．It's full of diverse snack choices.
33．What does Paul Williams mainly want to say
A．Airplane turbulence will become severer.
B．Airline companies should prevent turbulence.
C．Transatlantic flights prove unsafer than before.
D．Climate change is a major crisis facing humans.
34．What is the text type
A．A research paper. B．A travel guideline.
C．A news report. D．A formal notice.
（2024·广东广州·二模）“It’s not unusual for guests to feel emotional when they discover the story behind our food,” says Patrick Navis. “Not to mention when they taste it. One even cried with happiness.” The setting for these tearful scenes Navis’s restaurant in a Dutch city. Here, the owner and his team create experimental food using herbs, roots, flowers and nuts— some common, others less so.
Most of these ingredients come from the Ketelbroek Food Forest nearby. To the untrained eye, it’s like an ordinary wood. But there’s one key difference: everything in it is edible (可食用的). It was set up in 2009 by Dutch botanist and environmentalist Noah Eck as an experiment in slow farming, to see what would happen if the right combination of food plants were left to grow together like a natural forest, without chemicals.
“It’s the first ‘food forest’ of its kind in Europe and we’re one of the few restaurants around the world cooperating in this way,” says Navis. “We have over 400 different species of edible plants we plan our menus around, including some we previously knew little about.” He harvests the ingredients and, with his fellow chefs, works them into beautifully presented tasting menus, served in a dining room hidden in the backstreets of the city,
“To us, fine dining is not about the fame of a restaurant, its location, expensive decoration, fancy cooking and wine list,” says Navis. “It’s about adding value through creativity and using ingredients nobody knows of, which are grown with great attention.” However, he adds, luxury cooking can be about enhancing everyday ingredients, too.
“When looking at cooking in this way, who can argue that caviar (鱼子酱), for example, is more valuable than a carrot grown with specialist knowledge ”
Experimentation is extremely important to Navis. In the next five years, he hopes to open an outdoor restaurant. But for now, the most important thing is to continue focusing on how plants are being grown and the perennial system used in the Food Forest, reducing the need for replanting each season.
35．What can we learn about Navis’s restaurant
A．It is known for its rare food sources. B．It serves food with moving stories.
C．It offers experimental food for free. D．It is well received by its guests.
36．How is Ketelbrock Food Forest different from ordinary woods
A．It is a natural forest. B．Diverse plants coexist in it.
C．It provides safe food ingredients. D．Plants there take longer to grow.
37．What is the key element of fine dining according to Navis
A．Convenient locations. B．Expensive ingredients.
C．Innovative menus. D．Fancy cooking techniques.
38．What does “the perennial system” in the last paragraph probably refer to
A．Farming with proper use of chemicals. B．The sustainable farming practice.
C．Natural farming without human intervention. D．An experimental farm for an outdoor restaurant.
（2024·广东·一模）China successfully launched the Chang’e-6 spacecraft on Friday. A Long March-5rocket lifted it off from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan. This was a huge success and a remarkable achievement for China’s space exploration program. The launch not only shows China’s advanced technological abilities but also makes scientists and space lovers around the world excited.
Collecting samples from the far side of the moon is a new thing for humanity. We have very little knowledge about this mysterious side. If the Chang’e-6 mission is successful, it will give scientists important and direct facts to know more about the far side’s environment, geological features, and material make-up. This will be an important step forward in our exploration of the moon and the universe as a whole.
The Chang’e-6 spacecraft has an orbiter, a lander, an ascender (上升器), and a returner. When it reaches the moon, it will land carefully on the far side. Within 48 hours after landing, a robot arm will carefully collect rocks and soil from the lunar surface. Also, a drill will go into the ground to take samples from deeper layers. At the same time, a series of complex scientific tests and analyses will be done to get valuable data.
The far side of the moon is very different from the side we can see. The Apollo basin in the South PoleAitken Basin is chosen as the landing and sampling place for the Chang’e-6 mission. This area is thought to have precious clues about the moon’s formation and development, giving possible ideas about the early history of our celestial (天体) neighbor.
This mission has many technical difficulties and needs the latest technologies. It also gets help from international cooperation, showing the spirit of working together in the global search for space exploration. The exploration of the far side of the moon may provide valuable scientific data and open up new possibilities for future space activities, such as setting up long- term lunar bases and using lunar resources.
The success of the Chang’e-6 mission has the possibility to make more international cooperation in space exploration. It shows China’s strong wish to add to the growth of global knowledge about the universe and encourages other countries to work together to find out the secrets of the universe.
39．What is the main purpose of the Chang’e-6 mission
A．To build a base on the far side of the moon.
B．To study how the moon moves around.

（2024·广东梅州·模拟预测）Even in the most speculative reaches of science fiction, there is no escaping humanity’s dependence on liquid water. The residents of the desert world Arrakis, accessible to anyone with a copy of Frank Herbert’s novel “Dune”, use windtraps to steal precious liquid from the air.
Collecting water from the air is nothing new. The Inca, who are widely thought to have invented the technique,placed buckets under trees to collect the condensation from heavy fog drifting in off the sea. People dwelling in the arid mountains of Oman have long built cisterns under trees for the same reason.
Instead of using leaves as condensation traps, however, which drip over an impractically large area, modern traps instead consist of sheets of very fine polymer mesh. As fog flows through the sheets, tiny droplets of water stick to the polymer fibres. These droplets grow until gravity pulls them into a compact trough and, thence, a reservoir. While collectors vary in size, a 40-metres-square collector in a reasonably foggy area yields around 200 litres a day, enough to supply 60 people with drinking water.
A team led by Dr Stachewicz found that the sheet could be made even more productive by changing the way in which its polymer threads were manufactured. Dr Stachewicz theorized that careful manufacture via a process known as electrospinning could lend the sheet a slight electrical charge that would prove attractive to water droplets in fog. In experiments conducted in 2021 she and a team of colleagues found that such sheets yielded 50%more water.
This past August, Dr Stachewicz reported further improvements by adding TiO to the mesh. Previous work had shown that TiO could be intensely attractive to water upon exposure to ultraviolet light-a hindrance under extremely foggy conditions, as water would stick to the mesh rather than trickle into the cistern. When fog was light, however, Dr Stachewicz and Mr Parisi found that a TiO -enhanced mesh became 30% more effective. Her fog collectors are now being used at sites on three continents.
This technology suggests a brighter future is possible. Areas so dry as to have gone without rainfall since modern records began may one day yield enough water to sustain settlement. And not just on a fictional planet.

44．Which is the first step that the traps today use to gather water
A．Water from leaves drips over a large area.
B．Gravity pulls the droplets into a container.
C．Fog streams through sheets of polymer mesh and adhere to it.

45．What effect does TiO have on the polymer mesh when exposed to ultraviolet light
A．It purifies water droplets.
B．It appeals to water droplets.
C．It fights against water droplets.
D．It blocks the fog from flowing.
46．What is the main idea of the passage

（2024·广东·三模）The birth of a male white-tailed eagle signals the success of the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation (RDWF) and Forestry England project to return these iconic birds to their original widespread locations along the southern coast of England. The last time a white-tailed eagle chick grew in England, Mozart was working on his opera Idomeneo in Germany
For two centuries these amazing birds were missing from most of the UK, having been wiped out by human persecution by the early 20th century.
In 2020, the parents of the landmark bird were translocated from the Outer Hebrides and north-west Sutherland in Scotland to the Isle of Wight. This is an area with plentiful food to sustain them. It is also a location from which the birds could spread out to cliffs, lakes and forests.
Female G405 and male G471 were two of 25 eagles (16 are still alive) released by the RDWF and Forestry England as part of the ongoing project. And they are one of three pairs to have now established breeding territories in the south of England.
The chick hatched earlier this summer at a nest on private land, the exact location of which is being kept a secret to ensure the welfare of the young bird.
“This is a very special moment for everyone who has worked on, supported and followed this ground-breaking project,” Roy Dennis says, founder of the RDWF. “Restoring a breeding population in southern England, where the species was once widespread, has been our ultimate goal. Seeing the first pair reach this stage is truly incredible.”
The young white-tailed eagle has now been ringed and fitted with a satellite tag (标签) so that its progress can be tracked. A further release of young white-tailed eagles is planned for late summer from the project team’s base on the Isle of Wight.
47．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Mozart in paragraph 1
A．To admire the musician’s great works.
B．To celebrate the birth of the white-tailed eagle.
C．To compare the situations of England and Germany.
D．To emphasize white-tailed eagles’ centuries-long absence.
48．Which word can replace the underlined word “persecution” in paragraph 2
A．Hunt. B．Exploration. C．Disturbance. D．Training.
49．Why is the accurate position of the chick kept secret
A．For privacy. B．For safety. C．For territory. D．For support.
50．Which may be a suitable title for the text
A．A Splendid Bird B．A Successful Wildlife Project
C．Milestone for White-tailed Eagles D．Restoring a Breeding Population
（2024·广东佛山·二模）We’re often told to follow our dreams, and one person in Canada has done just that after building a wonderland for animals. In his own backyard, the eight water features which Robert Perkins dug into the ground are now a shelter for birds, frogs, beavers (河狸) and other animals in the middle of suburban development. But for Perkins, creating habitat for wildlife is not only about doing his part to help the environment. It’s a labor of love for a woman he met when he was 16 years old.
Perkins met Rhonda in 1974 and the two of them hit it off. They both loved animals, and she always wished to have a place where they could live in harmony with the land. Rhonda, whom Perkins stayed with all his life, passed away in 2006. Perkins resolved to build a wonderland where her spirit could stay in peace.
Ignoring planning departments and neighbors alike, Perkins began digging large holes for water to flow. Over the course of nine years his property went from being a neighborly headache to a perfect home for wildlife.
Perkins says he won’t take all the credit for the wetland he built. When Perkins started creating the wildlife habitat in the early 2000s, a family of beavers got wind of it soon and claimed the land. “When we built our subdivisions, we cleared all the trees, dried the hills, drove all the water down to the lakes... In turn, the beavers helped dam (筑坝) and purify the water.”
Wetland habitats not only attract wildlife, but probably offer the most complete package of ecosystem services, including preventing pollution, enriching the soil, and promoting the well-being of wildlife species.
Perkins says he doesn’t need to wonder what Rhonda might think of the place; he feels her presence whenever he walks alone among the trees, the grass, and the ponds, looking at birds or beavers, and listening to the songbirds and frogs. Perkins hopes his project will one day become an educational place that local people can visit to learn about the importance of wetlands.
51．Why did Perkins build the water features
A．To fulfill his childhood dream. B．To show his love for his wife.
C．To preserve endangered wildlife. D．To adapt to suburban development.
52．Which best describes Perkins’ wetland building process
A．Effortless but creative. B．Discouraging but efficient.
C．Painful but influential. D．Demanding but rewarding.
53．What can we infer about building the wetland from Perkins’ words
A．Perkins had a strategic plan for it. B．Human’s role in it was overvalued.
C．Nature itself also played a part in it. D．Beavers were invited to help with it.
54．What is Perkins’s expectation of the wetland
A．To help spread his story. B．To be a recreational spot.
C．To bring economic value. D．To serve as an inspiration.
（2024·广东·模拟预测）Hardit Singh is a high school student from Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute in Waterloo, Ontario. His science project, called Speculor, won second place in the 32nd European Union Contest for Young Scientists.
Hardit said he thought about people who struggle to get eye care after his friend couldn’t get it for a long time. “If this can happen in a richer and more developed area like Waterloo, what could the conditions be like in other poorer areas ”
In Canada, most people have to pay for their own eye care, although some provinces cover some of the costs. That means either paying a monthly fee for an insurance (保险) plan or taking money out of your own bank account whenever you need something like an eye appointment and a pair of glasses. “Our primary healthcare system doesn’t incorporate eye care right now, so it becomes expensive,” said Hardit. “This is a problem that should be solved.”
Hardit’s project is an imager named Speculor, which is an electronic device (设备) that eye experts use to record and examine images of eyes. Speculor uses artificial intelligence (AI) — through a smartphone — to determine which patients require further screening. It’s portable (便携的), which means a doctor can take the device to the patient so the patient doesn’t have to travel. It costs about $300, which is far less than other medical devices, which can cost up to $5,000.
A lot of exploration went into developing the project, said Hardit, so he used the Latin word “speculor”, which is a verb that means to watch, examine and explore, when naming the device. He said Speculor summed up the point of his project, not to mention the entire spirit of science. Hardit won ? 5,000 in prize money from the competition. He said he planned to save some of it for university. “I have become a lot more interested in physics, so I think that’s what my next goal is for the future,” Hardit said.
55．Why did Hardit Singh have the idea of inventing such a device
A．His friend’s experience inspired him.
B．He was influenced by an important contest.
C．His struggle to get eye care caused him much trouble.
D．He felt worried about children’s conditions in poor areas.
56．What does the underlined word “incorporate” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Improve. B．Analyze. C．Research. D．Include.
57．What can we learn about Hardit Singh from the text
A．He is rich but mean. B．He is creative and caring.
C．He is strict and responsible. D．He is talented but unfortunate.
58．What would be the best title for this text
A．A high school student invents an eye care device
B．The device Speculor attracts more and more attention
C．The medical conditions in Canada have improved greatly
D．A new project provides surprising results
