I met my husband in our early 20s when we worked together. We were both very ambitious and loved our jobs. But just after we got married, I became pregnant (怀孕的). For six years, I was a stay-at-home mum.
I did enjoy it when the kids were little, but when they both started school, I began to feel bored and restless. So I got in touch with an old colleague and she offered me a job. However, my husband said that he earned enough salary so he couldn’t countenance that. He put lots of barriers (障碍) in my way. For example, he said that he wouldn’t be able to take any time off if the kids were off school.
It’s not just about the income for me. But it’s more the sense of achievement that comes with working. I miss the jokes and the sense of achievement after a good day. I know it won’t be easy but I want to give it a try.
So why is my husband so unsupportive My friend, Coleen, says, “Because he’s incredibly selfish. I know exactly how you feel. I also got increasingly bored in my kitchen every day when my kids were at school so I went out and got a little part-time job in a shop. My husband didn’t like it at first either, but he soon got used to it. So stick to your goals. If he really insists and refuses to help you, then prove to him that you don’t need his help anyway.”
24．Why did the author want to find a job
A．She felt bored and restless. B．She was fed up with the housework.
C．She wanted to make more money. D．She was tired of educating her kids.

C．Her husband offers her a job. D．She is too busy to look after her kids.
27．What is Coleen’s attitude towards women going out to work
A．Indifferent. B．Doubtful.
C．Supportive. D．Uncertain.
【答案】24．A 25．B 26．A 27．C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在孩子开始上学后感到无聊和不安，想要重新工作，却遭到丈夫反对，朋友科琳则鼓励她坚持自己的目标、支持她外出工作的故事。
24．细节理解题。根据第二段“but when they both started school, I began to feel bored and restless. So I got in touch with an old colleague and she offered me a job. (但当他们都开始上学后，我开始感到无聊和不安。于是我联系了一位老同事，她给了我一份工作)”可知，作者想要找工作是因为孩子上学后，她感到无聊且不安。故选A项。
25．词句猜测题。根据第二段“However, my husband said that he earned enough salary so he couldn’t countenance that. He put lots of barriers in my way. (然而，我丈夫说他挣的工资足够了，所以他不能countenance我这么做。他给我设置了很多障碍)”可知，丈夫不仅表示自己工资足够，还为作者找工作设置障碍，由此可推测“countenance”在此处表示“允许”，即丈夫不允许作者去工作。故选B项。
26．细节理解题。根据第二段“So I got in touch with an old colleague and she offered me a job. (于是我联系了一位老同事，她给了我一份工作)”以及第三段“It’s not just about the income for me. But it’s more the sense of achievement that comes with working. I miss the jokes and the sense of achievement after a good day. I know it won’t be easy but I want to give it a try. (对我来说，这不仅仅是为了收入。更重要的是工作本身带来的成就感。我怀念工作中的那些轻松玩笑，也怀念忙碌一天后收获的那份成就感。我知道这不会容易，但我还是想试一试)”可知，作者主动联系同事寻找工作，并且即便知道工作不易仍想尝试，说明她非常渴望工作。故选A项。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段科琳的话“So stick to your goals. If he really insists and refuses to help you, then prove to him that you don’t need his help anyway. (所以坚持你的目标。如果他真的坚持并且拒绝帮助你，那就向他证明你无论如何都不需要他的帮助)”可知，科琳鼓励作者坚持外出工作的目标，即使丈夫不支持也要努力争取，由此可判断科琳对女性外出工作持支持态度。故选C项。
C
Instant noodles are a favorite quick meal when people don’t want to cook. Picture eating them while watching TV on a stormy night — pure comfort! But many believe they’re just junk food that harms health. The truth is, whether they’re unhealthy depends entirely on how you prepare them.
The main issue isn’t the noodles themselves, but the common way people make them: pouring boiling water over dried noodles and adding all the salty seasoning packets. These flavor packets contain high levels of salt and artificial additives (人工添加剂), making this version unbalanced and unhealthy.
Actually, plain instant noodles aren’t terrible. They’re fried during production (which adds some oil and calories), but they fill you up well and provide quick energy when you’re hungry. To make them healthier, cook them properly: boil the noodles first, drain excess starchy (含有淀粉的) water, then use fresh water or broth (肉汤). Crucially, use only half the seasoning packet to reduce salt. Add vegetables like spinach or carrots and protein like an egg or tofu while cooking. This boosts vitamins and protein while cutting sodium (钠). This transforms them into a balanced meal!
So, are instant noodles junk food If prepared lazily with all the seasoning and no extras, yes. But when cooked with less seasoning plus veggies and protein, they become a decent occasional meal. Remember: the secret is variety. Enjoy them once or twice a week as part of a diverse diet, and they won’t harm your health. They’re far less scary than people think — just upgrade your cooking method!
28．What determines if instant noodles are unhealthy
A．Their quick cooking time. B．The time of eating.
C．The preparation method. D．The junk food label.
29．What is the major cause of unhealthy instant noodles
A．The dried noodles. B．The flavor packets.
C．Using boiling water. D．People avoiding cooking.
30．What is the main purpose of the third paragraph
A．Warn about health dangers. B．Give cooking instructions.
C．Argue noodles are harmless. D．List harmful additives.
31．What is the suitable title for the passage
A．Instant Noodles: Not All Waste. B．Instant Noodles: How to Cook
C．Instant Noodles: Eat Sometimes. D．Instant Noodles: What we know
【答案】28．C 29．B 30．B 31．A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了方便面是否属于不健康食品的争议，指出其健康性取决于烹饪方式。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The truth is, whether they’re unhealthy depends entirely on how you prepare them.(事实上，它们是否不健康完全取决于你如何制备它们。)”可知，方便面是否不健康取决于制备方式。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段“The main issue isn’t the noodles themselves, but the common way people make them: pouring boiling water over dried noodles and adding all the salty seasoning packets. These flavor packets contain high levels of salt and artificial additives (人工添加剂), making this version unbalanced and unhealthy.(主要问题不在于面条本身，而在于人们制作面条的常见方式：将沸水倒在干面条上，并加入所有咸味调料包。这些调味包含有高含量的盐和人工添加剂，使这种版本不平衡和不健康。)”可知，方便面健康风险的核心诱因在于调味包中过量的钠盐与人工合成添加剂。故选B。
30． 推理判断题。根据第三段“To make them healthier, cook them properly: boil the noodles first, drain excess starchy (含有淀粉的) water, then use fresh water or broth (肉汤). Crucially, use only half the seasoning packet to reduce salt. Add vegetables like spinach or carrots and protein like an egg or tofu while cooking. This boosts vitamins and protein while cutting sodium (钠). This transforms them into a balanced meal!为了使它们更健康，请正确烹饪：先煮面条，沥干多余的淀粉水，然后用淡水或肉汤。至关重要的是，只使用一半的调味料包来减少盐的摄入。烹饪时加入菠菜或胡萝卜等蔬菜和鸡蛋或豆腐等蛋白质。这可以增加维生素和蛋白质，同时减少钠的摄入。这使它们变成了一顿均衡的饭菜！)”可知，作者通过分步说明详细解释了如何通过调整烹饪方式使其更均衡，所以本段目的是给出正确的烹饪指导。故选B。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据文章第一段“Instant noodles are a favorite quick meal when people don’t want to cook. Picture eating them while watching TV on a stormy night — pure comfort! But many believe they’re just junk food that harms health. The truth is, whether they’re unhealthy depends entirely on how you prepare them.(方便面是人们不想做饭时最喜欢的快餐。想象一下在暴风雨的夜晚边看电视边吃它们的情景——纯粹的安慰！但许多人认为它们只是危害健康的垃圾食品。事实上，它们是否不健康完全取决于你如何制备它们。)”等内容可知。文章主要讨论了方便面是否属于不健康食品的争议，指出其健康性取决于烹饪方式。所以选项A. Instant Noodles: Not All Waste.(方便面：并非全无是处)最能概括文意，适合用作标题。故选A。
D
Sometimes, what my seven-year-old tabby cat Ophelia wants is obvious. Crying in front of her empty food bowl at dinner time clearly indicates she’s at risk of starvation. Other times, though, her meows are a complete and total mystery.
That’s where Sergei Dreizin and Mark Boyes, computer scientists at Akvelon, a software engineering company based in Bellevue, Washington, say they can help. They are the brains behind the MeowTalk app, which aims to “give cat owners the best tools available” for interpreting their pet’s needs.
When Boyes and Dreizin were looking for data to inform their new app, they came across 2019 research that revealed cat meows contain certain shared characteristics. The study authors then built a computer program to analyze audio recordings of 21 adult cats meowing.
The MeowTalk founders used these audio recordings of tens of thousands of meows to develop their computer models, which is fueled by artificial intelligence. And it worked. 2021 study found MeowTalk can classify nine feline (猫科的) phrases with 90 percent accuracy.
The free app records your feline’s meows and translates them into a small range of phrases, such as “I’m annoyed.” and “Feed me!” Users can rate the accuracy of MeowTalk’s translations, which further improves the computer model. Launched in November 2020, the app has been downloaded over 20 million times, and Dreizin estimates that the program has analyzed over a billion meows to date. “We’re the largest depositors of meows in this galaxy,” he quips.
The app is part of an expanding suite of technologies designed to help us communicate with our furry friends. Another is FluentPet, which trains your pet to press buttons to communicate a need; for instance, a cat can learn to press a button that says the word “play”.
Cat behaviorist and communication expert Charlotte de Mouzon isn’t convinced of these products’ accuracy, but strengthening your relationship with your cat is always a wise goal. “If people play with the app, maybe they will become more attentive to their cats,” says de Mouzon, of Paris Nanterre University.
32．How can computer scientists at Akvelon help cat owners
A．By making cats’ needs fulfilled.
B．By getting cats rid of starvation.
C．By filling the empty food bowls.
D．By solving the mysteries of cats’ meows.
33．What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A．Users think the app very helpful.
B．Users can help to promote the app.
C．Dreizin thinks the app is the most accurate.
D．The program has analyzed billions of meows.
34．What’s Charlotte’s attitude to this kind of apps
A．Doubtful. B．Conservative. C．Positive. D．Negative.
35．What is the purpose of the text
A．To comment on two apps.
B．To compare two similar apps.
C．To introduce the new technology.
D．To recommend an app to cats’ owners.
【答案】32．D 33．B 34．A 35．C
【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种可以解读猫的语言，了解猫的需求，帮助猫的主人与其交流的新的应用程序，并提到了另一个相似技术的训练宠物与人类交流的程序，旨在让人们了解这种新的技术。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段“They are the brains behind the MeowTalk app, which aims to “give cat owners the best tools available” for interpreting their pet’s needs.(他们是MeowTalk应用程序的幕后推手，该应用程序旨在“为猫主人提供最好的工具”，帮助他们理解宠物的需求。)”可知，Akvelon的计算机科学家们是通过帮助猫主人了解猫的需求，解开猫叫的奥秘来帮助猫主人的。故选D。
33．推理判断题。根据第五段“Users can rate the accuracy of MeowTalk’s translations, which further improves the computer model.(用户可以评价MeowTalk翻译的准确性，这进一步改进了计算机模型。)”可知，用户的反馈可以帮助改进和提升这款应用程序。故选B。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Cat behaviorist and communication expert Charlotte de Mouzon isn’t convinced of these products’ accuracy, but strengthening your relationship with your cat is always a wise goal.(猫的行为学家和交流专家Charlotte de Mouzon不相信这些产品的准确性，但加强你和你的猫的关系总是一个明智的目标。)”可知，Charlotte虽然认为应该加强猫主人和猫之间的关系，但他不相信这种应用程序，对此持怀疑态度。故选A。
35．推理判断题。根据第六段“The app is part of an expanding suite of technologies designed to help us communicate with our furry friends. Another is FluentPet, which trains your pet to press buttons to communicate a need;(这款应用是一套不断扩展的技术的一部分，旨在帮助我们与毛茸茸的朋友交流。另一个是FluentPet，它训练你的宠物按下按钮来表达需求；)”和文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了一款能够帮助人类了解宠物需要的应用程序，以及另一个相似技术的应用程序，旨在让人们了解这种新的技术。故选C。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Benefits of Owning a Dog
There’s a reason why dogs are called man’s best friends. A good friend is faithful, will be there to pick you up when you’re down, will keep you on track to reach your goals, and will just be there for you as company. 36 The mental, physical and social benefits of caring for a dog — or any other pet, for that matter — are in large numbers. Here are all the reasons your life will improve with a dog:
Owning a dog keeps you active.
37 As a result, dog owners are often inspired toward an active lifestyle to satisfy their dog’s needs. Research conducted by the American Heart Association showed that dog owners were 54 percent more likely to get the recommended amount of exercise than non-dog owners.
38
Owning a dog has many heart-healthy benefits, such as a decrease in blood pressure, decreasing the risk of heart disease. One study showed that non-dog owners who had survived a heart attack were more likely to die within a year than dog owners.
You will feel calmer if you own a dog.
Dogs provide a calming and familiar presence. 39 One study showed that Alzheimer’s patients who owned dogs had fewer anxiety-induced exacerbations (加重) than Alzheimer’s patients without dogs.
Dog owners can promote their communication with others.
Dogs provide a natural connection with other people and are great conversation mon questions and comments from dog lovers and owners include: “What breed (品种) are they ”, “How long have you had them ” and “They’re so cute!” 40
A．Keeping a dog makes you live longer.
B．That decreases stress and anxiety levels.
C．Owning a dog provides safety and peace of mind.
D．And that’s exactly what a dog can do for its owner.
E．Dogs are naturally energetic and love to play and exercise.
F．These conversation starters lead to an immediate social connection.
G．This is because a dog fully relies on its owner for attention, meals and cleanliness.
【答案】36．D 37．E 38．A 39．B 40．F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章阐述养狗的诸多益处，包括让人更活跃、有益心脏健康、使人平静及促进社交等，说明养狗能改善生活。
36．根据上文“There’s a reason why dogs are called man’s best friends. A good friend is faithful, will be there to pick you up when you’re down, will keep you on track to reach your goals, and will just be there for you as company. (狗被称为人类最好的朋友是有原因的。好朋友是忠诚的，会在你情绪低落时鼓励你，会帮助你坚持实现目标，并且会一直陪伴在你身边。)” 以及下文“The mental, physical and social benefits of caring for a dog — or any other pet, for that matter — are in large numbers. (照顾一只狗——或者任何其他宠物——所带来的心理、生理和社会益处是众多的。)” 可知，上文作者将狗比作人类最好的朋友，并列举了好朋友的特质。本空位于该比喻之后，应承接这一比喻，说明狗正是能提供这些支持的朋友。D选项“And that’s exactly what a dog can do for its owner.

37．根据上文“Owning a dog keeps you active. (养狗能让你保持活力。)”可知，本段讨论养狗能促进主人保持活跃。本空位于该主题句之后，应解释其原因。E选项“Dogs are naturally energetic and love to play and exercise. (狗天生精力充沛，喜欢玩耍和运动。)”解释了为什么养狗能让人活跃——因为狗自身需要运动，从而促使主人也动起来。并且该选项与下文“dog owners are often inspired toward an active lifestyle to satisfy their dog’s needs”逻辑一致。故选E。

(养狗对心脏健康有很多益处，比如降低血压，减少患心脏病的风险。)”可知，本段讨论养狗对心脏健康的益处。空处需作为本段总起句，概括养狗与心脏健康的关系，A选项“Keeping a dog makes you live longer. (养狗能让你活得更久。)”是对本段内容的概括，因为降低心脏病风险、降低血压等益处最终可能延长寿命，且A选项中“makes you live longer”与下文“One study showed that non-dog owners who had survived a heart attack were more likely to die within a year than dog owners.”相呼应，符合逻辑。故选A。
39．本段主题为“养狗让人更平静”，根据上文“Dogs provide a calming and familiar presence. (狗狗的存在让人感到平静和亲切。)”可知，狗能提供平静和熟悉的陪伴，空处需解释狗为何能带来平静感，B选项“That decreases stress and anxiety levels. (这会降低压力和焦虑水平。)”直接说明了狗的陪伴如何让人平静，且B选项中的“that”指代上文的“a calming and familiar presence”，逻辑衔接紧密，B选项中的“decreases stress and anxiety”与后文阿尔茨海默病患者焦虑减轻的研究结果相呼应。故选B。
40．本段主题是“养狗能促进与他人的交流”，根据上文“Dogs provide a natural connection with other people and are great conversation starters. (狗狗能与其他人建立天然的联系，是开启对话的绝佳话题。)”可知，提到狗是聊天的开端，并列举了常见话题。空白处需说明这些话题的作用，F选项“These conversation starters lead to an immediate social connection. (这些开场白能迅速建立起社交联系。)”中的“these conversation starters”指代上文提到的关于狗的常见问题和评论，呼应了“促进交流”的主题，并解释了狗如何帮助主人与他人产生互动。故选F。

Unlike so many poorly-educated people in my childhood neighborhood, I, 50 by Paul, went to college. After many years, I started my own 51 .

I feel 52 that through my difficult childhood, I developed my foundation — extreme patience and determination, and a strong 53 to always do good.
I have come a long way from my hard beginnings. Paul would tell you that he is just a(n) 54 guy, who just showed up. But not me, when I look at Paul, I see my hero. When life was stacked (处于劣势) against me, he was there, moving me closer and closer to a better life. And it made a 55 .

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了煎饼这种中国街头小吃的制作过程、历史渊源及其受欢迎程度。

57．考查副词。句意：这几乎和真正吃一个煎饼一样好。空处需用副词作状语修饰动名词eating，actual的副词为actually“实际上，真正地”。故填actually。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
David and Jeff had been close friends since their first day of junior school. They often shared lunchboxes and read David’s favourite book—the Star Map Book. “Look, the Big Dipper (北斗七星)!” Jeff would say excitedly, pointing at the seven stars on the page. At night, they would meet in David’s backyard, taking turns to watch stars through a small telescope (望远镜). They were so crazy about the stars that they always lost track of time. This lasted until eighth grade when Jeff had to move to another school because his father changed his job. As they said their goodbyes, David handed the book to Jeff. “Keep this,” he said, “We will watch the stars together at City High School. Promise ”
One year later, David stood at the gate of City High School with his new class schedule, his eyes widened as he spotted a familiar face in the hallway. It was Jeff who was sitting in a wheelchair. A teacher nearby whispered, “Terrible car crash last winter. His leg bones broke in many places. The doctors said he would never walk again.” Watching the boy who had once climbed trees like a monkey now moved slowly, David was heartbroken.
Determined to talk to Jeff, David made his way to the classroom during the break, only to find that he was out. To his surprise, David found the Star Map Book on Jeff’s desk, with its pages open to the Big Dipper. Beside the book were the torn pieces of the Space Club poster, which read, “Night Sky Adventure” David realized Jeff didn’t give up on the dreams they had shared and decided to do something.
注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右;
2．请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
During lunchtime, David gently walked towards Jeff.

At the Space Club, David lowered the telescope to wheelchair height.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
During lunchtime, David gently walked towards Jeff. Seeing his old friend’s hesitant expression, Jeff quickly closed the Star Map Book. “I know what happened,” David said softly, placing a hand on Jeff’s shoulder. “But remember our promise We’ll watch the stars together — no matter what.” Jeff’s eyes welled up as he whispered, “But the Space Club… they said I couldn’t join.” David smiled, “Then we’ll start our own club. Tonight, my backyard, just like before.” He picked up the torn poster pieces and carefully taped them back together. “Adventure isn’t about climbing trees,” he added, “It’s about discovering the sky — together.”
At the Space Club, David lowered the telescope to wheelchair height. “Look,” he said, adjusting the lens for Jeff. “The Big Dipper is brighter tonight.” Jeff’s face lit up as he peered through the eyepiece. Around them, other students gathered, curious about the unusual setup. David announced, “This is Jeff, my co-captain for the Night Sky Team.” A teacher approached, impressed, “We’ll redesign the observatory camp next week.” As Jeff traced constellations with his finger, David knew their shared dream wasn’t lost — it had just needed a new way to shine.
【导语】本文以深厚的友情和对梦想的坚持为线索展开，讲述了David和Jeff这对从小一起长大的好朋友，因为对星空的热爱而结下深厚的情谊。然而，Jeff因一场车祸失去了行走能力，这让David感到非常难过。但David没有放弃，他决定帮助Jeff重新找回对星空的热爱，并一起实现他们的梦想。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“午餐时间，David轻轻地走向Jeff。”可知，第一段可描写David与Jeff的对话，以及David如何鼓励Jeff重新找回对星空的热爱。
②由第二段首句内容“在太空俱乐部，David把望远镜降到了轮椅的高度。”可知，第二段可描写David如何帮助Jeff重新参与到观星活动中，并且得到了周围人的支持。
2. 续写线索：午餐时的鼓励——回忆承诺——重新开始——观星活动——得到支持
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①放：place/put
②调整：adjust/modify/regulate
③走近：approach/come nearby

I met my husband in our early 20s when we worked together. We were both very ambitious and loved our jobs. But just after we got married, I became pregnant (怀孕的). For six years, I was a stay-at-home mum.
I did enjoy it when the kids were little, but when they both started school, I began to feel bored and restless. So I got in touch with an old colleague and she offered me a job. However, my husband said that he earned enough salary so he couldn’t countenance that. He put lots of barriers (障碍) in my way. For example, he said that he wouldn’t be able to take any time off if the kids were off school.
It’s not just about the income for me. But it’s more the sense of achievement that comes with working. I miss the jokes and the sense of achievement after a good day. I know it won’t be easy but I want to give it a try.
So why is my husband so unsupportive My friend, Coleen, says, “Because he’s incredibly selfish. I know exactly how you feel. I also got increasingly bored in my kitchen every day when my kids were at school so I went out and got a little part-time job in a shop. My husband didn’t like it at first either, but he soon got used to it. So stick to your goals. If he really insists and refuses to help you, then prove to him that you don’t need his help anyway.”

Instant noodles are a favorite quick meal when people don’t want to cook. Picture eating them while watching TV on a stormy night — pure comfort! But many believe they’re just junk food that harms health. The truth is, whether they’re unhealthy depends entirely on how you prepare them.
The main issue isn’t the noodles themselves, but the common way people make them: pouring boiling water over dried noodles and adding all the salty seasoning packets. These flavor packets contain high levels of salt and artificial additives (人工添加剂), making this version unbalanced and unhealthy.
Actually, plain instant noodles aren’t terrible. They’re fried during production (which adds some oil and calories), but they fill you up well and provide quick energy when you’re hungry. To make them healthier, cook them properly: boil the noodles first, drain excess starchy (含有淀粉的) water, then use fresh water or broth (肉汤). Crucially, use only half the seasoning packet to reduce salt. Add vegetables like spinach or carrots and protein like an egg or tofu while cooking. This boosts vitamins and protein while cutting sodium (钠). This transforms them into a balanced meal!
So, are instant noodles junk food If prepared lazily with all the seasoning and no extras, yes. But when cooked with less seasoning plus veggies and protein, they become a decent occasional meal. Remember: the secret is variety. Enjoy them once or twice a week as part of a diverse diet, and they won’t harm your health. They’re far less scary than people think — just upgrade your cooking method!
28．What determines if instant noodles are unhealthy
A．Their quick cooking time. B．The time of eating.
C．The preparation method. D．The junk food label.
29．What is the major cause of unhealthy instant noodles
A．The dried noodles. B．The flavor packets.
C．Using boiling water. D．People avoiding cooking.
30．What is the main purpose of the third paragraph
A．Warn about health dangers. B．Give cooking instructions.
C．Argue noodles are harmless. D．List harmful additives.
31．What is the suitable title for the passage
A．Instant Noodles: Not All Waste. B．Instant Noodles: How to Cook
C．Instant Noodles: Eat Sometimes. D．Instant Noodles: What we know
D
Sometimes, what my seven-year-old tabby cat Ophelia wants is obvious. Crying in front of her empty food bowl at dinner time clearly indicates she’s at risk of starvation. Other times, though, her meows are a complete and total mystery.
That’s where Sergei Dreizin and Mark Boyes, computer scientists at Akvelon, a software engineering company based in Bellevue, Washington, say they can help. They are the brains behind the MeowTalk app, which aims to “give cat owners the best tools available” for interpreting their pet’s needs.
When Boyes and Dreizin were looking for data to inform their new app, they came across 2019 research that revealed cat meows contain certain shared characteristics. The study authors then built a computer program to analyze audio recordings of 21 adult cats meowing.
The MeowTalk founders used these audio recordings of tens of thousands of meows to develop their computer models, which is fueled by artificial intelligence. And it worked. 2021 study found MeowTalk can classify nine feline (猫科的) phrases with 90 percent accuracy.
The free app records your feline’s meows and translates them into a small range of phrases, such as “I’m annoyed.” and “Feed me!” Users can rate the accuracy of MeowTalk’s translations, which further improves the computer model. Launched in November 2020, the app has been downloaded over 20 million times, and Dreizin estimates that the program has analyzed over a billion meows to date. “We’re the largest depositors of meows in this galaxy,” he quips.
The app is part of an expanding suite of technologies designed to help us communicate with our furry friends. Another is FluentPet, which trains your pet to press buttons to communicate a need; for instance, a cat can learn to press a button that says the word “play”.
Cat behaviorist and communication expert Charlotte de Mouzon isn’t convinced of these products’ accuracy, but strengthening your relationship with your cat is always a wise goal. “If people play with the app, maybe they will become more attentive to their cats,” says de Mouzon, of Paris Nanterre University.
32．How can computer scientists at Akvelon help cat owners
A．By making cats’ needs fulfilled.
B．By getting cats rid of starvation.
C．By filling the empty food bowls.
D．By solving the mysteries of cats’ meows.
33．What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A．Users think the app very helpful.
B．Users can help to promote the app.
C．Dreizin thinks the app is the most accurate.
D．The program has analyzed billions of meows.
34．What’s Charlotte’s attitude to this kind of apps
A．Doubtful. B．Conservative. C．Positive. D．Negative.
35．What is the purpose of the text
A．To comment on two apps.
B．To compare two similar apps.
C．To introduce the new technology.
D．To recommend an app to cats’ owners.

David and Jeff had been close friends since their first day of junior school. They often shared lunchboxes and read David’s favourite book—the Star Map Book. “Look, the Big Dipper (北斗七星)!” Jeff would say excitedly, pointing at the seven stars on the page. At night, they would meet in David’s backyard, taking turns to watch stars through a small telescope (望远镜). They were so crazy about the stars that they always lost track of time. This lasted until eighth grade when Jeff had to move to another school because his father changed his job. As they said their goodbyes, David handed the book to Jeff. “Keep this,” he said, “We will watch the stars together at City High School. Promise ”
One year later, David stood at the gate of City High School with his new class schedule, his eyes widened as he spotted a familiar face in the hallway. It was Jeff who was sitting in a wheelchair. A teacher nearby whispered, “Terrible car crash last winter. His leg bones broke in many places. The doctors said he would never walk again.” Watching the boy who had once climbed trees like a monkey now moved slowly, David was heartbroken.
Determined to talk to Jeff, David made his way to the classroom during the break, only to find that he was out. To his surprise, David found the Star Map Book on Jeff’s desk, with its pages open to the Big Dipper. Beside the book were the torn pieces of the Space Club poster, which read, “Night Sky Adventure” David realized Jeff didn’t give up on the dreams they had shared and decided to do something.
