11、 made an appeal on social media and was met with a flood of kind responses. The old lady, Ray, was moved to tears after talking on the phone with one of the enthusiastic respondents in Welsh. Ray moved to America after meeting her husband when she was only 18, hence waving goodbye to her life in Wal
12、es. She continued to speak Welsh with her mumkeeping a little bit of home. But she lost her beloved mum four decades ago and hadnt spoken Welsh since. Despite suffering from short-term memory loss and sometimes not remembering what she has done recently, Rays childhood memories in Wales remain cryst
13、al clear. “She wants to return but I know, given her age, such long-distance travel is out of the question. ” said Keith, “Once she mentioned I wish I could speak Welsh again but I suppose I never will. It was then that I thought I should make her wish happen. ”So Keith, 70, posted on social media i
14、n the New York Welsh area asking for any Welsh speakers that could speak Welsh with his mum. And he was touched, as well as a little shocked, to receive over 30 responses within half an hour. Keith thanked everyone and eventually asked Melisa to give his mum a phone call. “Speaking with Melisa, her
15、(Rays) Welsh was a little rusty. A few more Welsh conversations and I think shed be fluent again, ” added Keith. “When you have a parent in their nineties, you will find you two have something in common: youre both old, so I am very sympathetic to my mothers feelings of loneliness and isolation（孤立）.
16、 Im feeling it myself. ” Keith hopes to set up more Welsh phone conversations for his mum and Melisa has promised to send Ray some short stories in Welsh to remind her of her life in Wales. 21. Why did Keith post a message on social media?A. To gather American Welsh speakers. B. To help his mum spea
17、k Welsh again. C. To slow down his mums memory loss. D. To track down his familys Welsh origin. 22. How did Keith feel after seeing the responses?A. Surprised and moved. B. Concerned and thankful. C. Sympathetic and excited. D. Astonished and isolated. 23. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A
18、community noticeboard. B. A health magazine. C. A language-learning website. D. A local newspaper. BThroughout history, many species of animals have been threatened with extinction. When Europeans first arrived in North America, more than 60 million buffalo（水牛）lived on the continent. Yet hunting the
19、 buffalo was so popular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animals population had fallen to about 400 before the government stepped in to protect the species. In some countries today, the elephant faces a similar challenge, as illegal hunters kill the animals for the ivory in their tusks. Yet
20、not all animals with commercial value face this threat. The cow, for example, is a valuable source of food, but no one worries that the cow will soon be extinct. Why does the commercial value of ivory threaten the elephant, while the commercial value of beef protects the cow?The reason is that eleph
21、ants are a common resource, while cows are private goods. Elephants wander freely without any owners. The hunter has a strong motivation to kill as many elephants as he can find. Because illegal hunters are numerous, each has only a slight motivation to preserve the elephant population. By contrast,
22、 cattle live on farms that are privately owned. Each farmer makes great effort to maintain the cattle population on his farm because he harvests the benefit of these efforts. Govenments have tried to solve the elephants problem in two ways. Some countries, such as Kenya and Uganda, have made it ille
23、gal to kill elephants and sell their ivory. Yet these laws have been hard to put into effect, and elephant populations have continued to dwindle. By contrast, other countries, such as Malawi and Namibia, have made elephants private goods and allowed people to kill elephants, but only those on their
24、own property. With private ownership and the profit motive now on its side, the African elephant might someday be as safe from extinction as the cow. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle pointed out the problem with common resources: “What is common to many is taken least care of, for all men hav
25、e greater regard for what is their own than for what they possess in common with others. ”24. Why do elephants face threats while cows are safe?A. They are under different law protection. B. They attract different groups of hunters. C. They contain different commercial value. D. They represent diffe
26、rent ownership types. 25. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Bans on killing elephants for ivory. B. Effective laws for elephant protection. C. Methods of making elephants private goods. D. Government policies on the elephants problem. 26. What can we learn from Aristotles words?A. People hold litt
27、le regard for others property. B. People want to profit from common resources. C. People care more about their own possession. D. People tend to take what they own for granted. CIf someone created a flying machine capable of tracking you down by listening for your voice, you might be terrified. But
28、what if you were trapped in ruins after a natural disaster and first responders couldnt locate you？ Maybe then a human-seeking drone （无人机）wouldnt be such a terrible idea. That concept is the focus for engineers at Germanys Fraunhofer FKIE Institute, whove built a drone to find people by detecting hu
29、man screams. “The human-seeking drone would be ideal for post-disaster situations, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and wildfires, ” said Macarena Varela, one of the lead engineers. “They could hover over an area that rescue crews have difficulty getting to and locate exactly where people may be trap
30、ped. ”Locating people by sound presents its share of challenges. An auditory （听觉的）system would need to distinguish human cries from sounds that often happen in nature, such as animal calls and wind. It might also need to recognize patterns associated with kicking, clapping or other ways people try t
31、o get the attention of rescue teams. Engineers took those situations into account when building out their concept drone. They recorded themselves screaming, tapping and creating other noises that might be a sign of people in trouble. Then, they analyzed each sound frequency to find common signatures
32、 and used those to train artificial intelligence software. They also worked to remove the noise created by the drone and other environmental sounds. Once the software part was complete, the team placed tiny digital microphones under the drone anc used signal processing techniques that enabled them t
33、o track where human noises are coming from. The microphones also enhanced the volume and clarity of the speech. So far, they have conducted successful open field experiments, finding that the drone can estimate a victims location within a few seconds of picking up sound. Next, they would like to add
34、 a higher frequency microphone to a drone to acquire more audio sound signals. The idea is to pick up noises from hundreds of meters away, Varela said. In the real world victims location data might one day be sent wirelessly to emergency crews carrying a tablet. 27. What is the advantage of the huma
35、n-seeking drone?A. Its high speed of flying. B. Its long working hours. C. Its quick response to noises. D. Its easy access to disaster scene. 28. What can the auditory system do?A. Recognize human cries. B. Pick up sounds from far away. C. Send victims location data to a tablet. D. Improve the qual
36、ity of human screams. 29. What does the underlined word “signatures” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Effects. B. Symbols. C. Features. D. Situations. 30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Al Enables Drones to Give Better Performance. B. Human-seeking Drones Replace Rescue Crews
37、. C. Engineers Teach Drones to Hunt Human Screams. D. Rescuers Use Drones to Locate Disaster Survivors. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 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。From the ancient Chinese stories, to the stories in the west, it is clear that there is strong pleasure and meaning to gain from sto
38、ries told through images or pictures. People are lucky enough to have had books with both pictures and words when they were children. 31 After the world wars, the cheap books without pictures were everywhere and it made reading books with pictures for adults a luxury. Somehow, pictures had also come
39、 to seem childish or strange. 32 . Just as the ever-increasing popularity of the graphic novel（连环画小说） suggests，works with both words and pictures are regarded as classics. 33 . In fact the former develops from the latter. Early writing systems such as those in Egypt and China: things in the world we
40、re expressed in written form by drawing special pictures. 34 In some languages, the sound associated with an image are separated from its original meaning. What is the use of a book without pictures? Very little, it turns out, particularly if we consider that pictures are buried within the very symb
