21、Every summer, three billion birds migrate (迁徙) from southern Africa to Europe. In winter, they return to Africa’s warmer shores. Both large and small birds travel thousands of kilometers, often stopping at locations along the way to rest. The migration is long and difficult, and some of the animals die during each trip. However, it is not this twice-a-year journey that poses the greatest risk to these animals. The main threat to the birds’ survival comes from people. All over Mediterranean, millions of birds are killed for food, profit, and sport every year. Consequently, bird populations are dropping all over the region.

Countries over the Mediterranean are aware of this, and are taking action. In many European countries, hunting migratory birds is strictly banned. Across the Mediterranean, Nature Conservation Egypt is working to increase protection of its country’s wildlife, including migratory birds. As part of a current project, the group is trying to promote activities such as eco-tourism along the coasts. The hope is that, as more tourists come to visit protected natural areas, there will be an incentive for local people to care for the birds and their habitats.

Wildlife organizations around the Mediterranean are helping to bring about change. " Hunting bans are working,“ says Martin Jacoby, a bird expert. But there is still more to do. Environmentalists hope to stop hunting and restore bird habitats all over the Mediterranean. If this can be done, the birds’ number will increase. “There is a long way to go,” Jacoby says, “but just like after a long journey in the desert, there will be an oasis(绿洲).”

【1】What’s the biggest danger to migrating birds?

A．Long distance.

B．Human hunters.

C．Severe weather.

D．Lack of food.

【2】What does the underlined word “incentive” mean in Paragraph 2?

A．Opportunity.

B．Bargain.

C．Drive.

D．Condition.

【3】What’s Jacoby’s attitude towards the efforts made by wildlife organizations?

A．Approving.

B．Reserved.

C．Ambiguous.

D．Critical.

【4】How is the text mainly developed?

A．By giving examples.

B．By presenting problem and solution.

C．By making comparison.

D．By analyzing cause and effect.

22、Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been widely applied in a national park in Northwest China to track snow leopards inhabiting the region.

The AI-aided digital toolbox can automatically tell the species apart in the Qilian Mountains National Park, Gansu province, from other wildlife, using images captured by infrared cameras (红外相机). The technology, jointly developed by Chinese internet giant Tencent, the World Wild Fund and One Planet Foundation, can thus improve data processing efficiency.

Located at around 3, 500 meters above sea level, the Qilian Mountains with vast stretches of bare rocks reaching from the grass provide a favorable hideaway shelter for the snow leopards.

Though more than 200 cameras have been put in the region, sorting out relevant information had not been easy for researchers.

“For conducting further studies on the population, distribution and activities of the snow leopards, a flagship species in the region, the cameras would capture (捕捉) hundreds of thousands of video clips and photos every quarter,” said Ma Duifang with the administration bureau of the park’s Gansu section.

“Even a slight movement in the environment, such as a mild breeze blowing over the grass, can activate the cameras. Sometimes, curious wildlife bumps into the device triggering the shutter (触发快门), and the cameras take pictures of mere clouds,” Ma added.

Ma and his colleagues had to go through each video frame by frame (逐帧地). The information of species that appeared on the images also required human input, so it often took them several weeks to complete such tasks.

Tencent’s engineering team has independently developed a species recognition algorithm (算法) by means of transfer learning and automatic data enhancement. Thanks to AI technologies, researchers in the Qilian Mountains National Park no longer need to work like mad in search of leopards hiding out in the wild.

“The forest police can now locate a snow leopard from 1, 000 pictures in just about 20 minutes, much faster than before,” said Huang Xiangqi, one of the tech developers.

Snow leopards are under China’s highest national-level protection and are listed as vulnerable (脆弱的) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

In China, they can be spotted in cold areas in southwestern, northwestern, and northern regions including Tibet, Sichuan, Xinjiang, Gansu and Inner Mongolia.

“We hope we can combine monitoring data with field investigation to help researchers accurately identify the wild species so as to draw up a more specific plan for their protection,” said Ma Yao, director of the project, hoping the digital toolbox can be used in more countries.

【1】What could be inferred from Paragraph 2?

A．Infrared cameras can tell the species apart automatically.

B．AI technology can improve the quality of the infrared cameras.

C．AI technology has greatly improved the efficiency of identifying snow leopards.

D．Tencent helped develop infrared cameras for Qilian Mountain National Park.

【2】What is the purpose of placing so many cameras in Qilian Mountain National Park?

A．To prove the existence of snow leopards.

B．To sort out the local wildlife.

C．To capture as many curious wildlife as possible.

D．To learn more about snow leopards.

【3】What can be concluded from Paragraph 6?

A．The camera mostly takes pictures of clouds.

B．Many factors will affect the work of infrared cameras.

C．The cameras are only activated by curious wildlife.

D．The cameras are also used to monitor the weather

【4】What are the researchers’ attitudes towards the AI technology developed by Tencent?

A．Grateful.

B．Wait-and-see.

C．Optimistic.

D．Skeptical.

【5】What could be the best title of the passage?

A．AI-aided tech Developed for Snow Leopard Protection

B．AI Technology Used to Capture Snow Leopard

C．Infrared Cameras Placed to Track Snow Leopard

D．AI Technology Developed to Improve Data Processing Efficiency

23、   Nobody likes to think they are "that guy" at work. 【1】 So, what are some of the rudest things that people do at work - and why shouldn't you do them?

• Behaving in an unacceptable way

The most common form of this is eating smelly foods at lunchtime. Other things alike include body smell and its opposite, the wearing of strong perfume, messy desks, or bad breath. 【2】

• Checking email on your phone when you're talking to other people

A recent survey shows that 49 percent of people said their bosses checked their phones while talking with them. 【3】 If you've ever wondered why your team members are unmotivated, this may be why. In fact, when you're talking to someone at work, you should reject any non-important calls.

• 【4】

Do you like the sound of your own voice? Great. Perhaps it's time you learned to like the sound of other people's voices too. If you interrupt others when they speak, they'll dislike you and discount whatever you're saying. However, if you listen to what others say and show interest by asking intelligent questions, they'll love you and be likely to give you their support when you speak,

• Boasting about how much you earn

【5】 If you show off your income to someone and then discover you get less than them, you'll look like a fool. If you earn more, they'll feel tired of you. So keep them guessing and hide your earning power in quiet ways 一 like always paying for the team coffees.

A.Talking all the time

B.Being a good listener

C.Team-working can never be ignored.

D.All these things will become part of your personal brand.

E.It's better to be modest when you talk about your incomes.

F.Bad behavior at work is common --and often we do it without thinking.

G.An interesting email seems more valuable than the person you are actually talking to.

24、   Most economists were against the idea of Britain leaving the European Union, but perhaps few felt so strongly about it. However, in a poll conducted prior to the vote by Times Higher Education, a trade paper, nine in ten university staff said they would vote to Remain. At University College London (UCL), where one in ten students comes from the EU, the mood after the result was one of “deep shock, grief and then concern,” says Michael Arthur, the university’s president.

British universities are home to students from all corners: Europeans make up 6% of the total; another 14% come from the rest of the world. As a result of EU rules, the former are treated like home students, meaning that in England their fees are capped at £9,000 a year and they have access to state-provided loans. By contrast, there are no limits on fees for students from the rest of the world. A geography degree at Oxford costs non-EU students £22,430 a year.

But life will soon get trickier for universities. The big issue is whether EU students will continue to have access to loans, says Mr. Mian. Withdrawing the loans from EU students, however, would risk a big drop in their number, which could cause a 50-75% fall in the number of EU students at UCL.

Others point out that under such a situation universities probably would be free to charge higher fees to EU students, as they currently do for non-Europeans. That may help, says Richard Shaw, head of education at Grant Thornton, an accounting firm, but it seems unlikely that any increase in fees would be sufficient to make up for the fall in student numbers. Those numbers could drop further if foreign students are put off by the referendum (公民投票) result, which some have interpreted as a sign of hostility towards migrants in general.

Brexit (脱欧) comes at an awkward time for universities. Many have borrowed money to fund expansion, following the government’s decision in 2013 to lift the cap on the number of students that English universities were able to accept. Some might now find their new lecture halls less full than they had hoped.

Most countries do all they can to lure students from around the world, including seeking to attract the best lecturers. That is sensible: some students stick around, boosting the economy; others return home with fond memories of the country where they spent their early adulthood. All of them pay for the privilege. Immigration restrictions on non-EU students have already done considerable harm to higher education. It is likely that British universities will suffer once again.

【1】What does the underlined word “capped” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Restricted. B.Imposed.

C.Covered. D.Overlooked.

【2】Which of the following is NOT the influence Brexit will have on British universities?

A.The fall in the number of EU students.

B.The negative emotions from foreign students.

C.The waste of the expansion of the universities.

D.The inevitably rising fees the universities will charge.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A.Owing to the EU rules, non-EU students are charged more than EU students.

B.Studying abroad makes no difference to the students who return home at last.

C.Compared with the loss of students, British universities will suffer more from the decline in fees.

D.Britain’s foreign policy didn’t take the long-term development of its universities into consideration.

【4】What does this passage mainly talk about?

A.Universities’ tricks in drawing foreign students.

B.Brexit, the worst decision made by the government.

C.Academics’ fear of a drying up of students and money.

D.The urgent measures to balance education and politics.

26、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。

In late December, the cow path near our house in Tennessee was still covered with leaves, but I knew snow would be falling soon enough. My younger brother, Buddy Earl, and I were on an important mission: Go to Uncle Tommie’s place and get a goose(鹅). The hiking over Little Mountain and getting there would be worth it. Uncle Tommie raised the best geese around, and he’d offered to give us one for Christmas dinner.

Uncle Tommie met us at the door. “I’m not rushing you boys,” he said, “but as light snow started, you’d better get the goose and head home.” It didn’t take me long to pick up a goose from his yard. Buddy and I said a quick thank you and goodbye. The snow came down harder, wind blowing every way.

“I’m as cold as ice. How about you?” asked Buddy.

I tapped the goose’s head. “I wish we had feathers to keep us warm like you,” I said. “Or heavier coats.”

“Doug, I’m freezing,” Buddy said. I could hardly hear him over the wind and my own chattering teeth. “I think we should go back.” The idea was attractive, but we were closer to home than to Uncle Tommie’s house. We had to push on.

I held the goose closer to my chest. The bird was the only warm thing about me. I stepped in front of my brother. “Buddy, open your coat!” “Are you crazy?” He asked. “I’ll lose the little warmth I have.” When he saw I was serious, he slowly unzipped (拉开……的拉链) his coat and opened it. I placed the warm goose inside his coat and zipped it back up. “Make sure you keep the goose’s head out so it can breathe.” Buddy sighed happily. My plan was working.

注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

“Doug, it is time for you to open your coat. ”
