2．George Turner，48，owner of Penuel Bicycles in Inglewood，Caliornia，talks with respect about his childhood BMX dirt bike."I was mad keen on cycling."he says."I did whatever it took to get on that bike，as long as I was home before dark."Home meant housework，homework and annoying brothers.But a bike meant escapes.
In 2010，George transformed his childhood love into a livelihood，and opened his bicycle shop，Penuel Bicycles.The shop fulfilled a lifelong dream.Before that，he had worked for years delivering boxes for FedEx while selling bike accessories online.
"Bicycles kept me out of trouble，"George remembers."They were part of my life."He figured that was still true for kids when he opened Penuel Bicycles.George expected parents to crowd inside，eager to buy shiny new bikes for their kids.He looked forward to helping boys and girls discover the joy of riding-and stay out of trouble-just as he had.
None of that happened，however.
George found that kids these days lead a different life.Usually，they don't want a bike for their birthday.And most of them ever don't know how to ride a bike.Instead of getting out and riding，they prefer spending their time on their phones indoors.As kids don't ride，it is impossible that parents crowd in his shop to buy new bikes.Nine years after opening his Penuel Bicycles，George feared that he had to close the shop.
Then in 2020，the coronavirus pandemic swept the nation.Surprisingly，the pandemic saved George's business.During the pandemic，many American people found that cycling was a good way to exercise and also a safe way to get around.The demand for new bikes kept growing and people in George's neighborhood pulled out their old bikes and wheeled them to Penuel Bicycles to get repaired.Now he is trying his best to meet his customers' needs and hopes that his customers can really discover the joy of riding-

3．SnotBot is on a mission.The toaster-sized drone（無人機(jī)）flies over the open ocean，directly above an unusual whale.On a boat nearby，Andy Rogan smiles with joy.Rogan has been studying whales in his entire career but had never seen this species.
Back in 2011，Lian Pin Koh and Serge Wich，conservation experts，wondered if there might be an easier way to get data of animals in the wild.Wildlife researchers often walk through forests.They may look closely at whales from boats or stay in helicopters to view animals from above.Such trips are usually dangerous.Plus，their noise may scare animals.And helicopters can't fly very far over the ocean because there's nowhere to land or refuel.
"We thought，'What if you fly over them with a flying camera？''says Wich.So they put together a drone from a remote-control model airplane and camera equipment.And it did the trick.On a test flight，the drone caught an image of an orangutan（猩猩）at the top of a very tall tree.The pair realized this was just the beginning of a whole new way of doing conservation work.
Now Wich and his colleagues are building AI that automatically locates and recognizes animals.They call their project Conservation Al.When someone uploads an image or video，the model analyzes the data.Then the model recognizes anything it can.In the future，an AI model could keep watch，instead of forest guards.It could send warnings when seeing doubtful activities..
The team tested this idea in a study in East Africa.Volunteers in Tanzania pretended to be poachers（偷獵者）.The researchers made drones fly over the actors at different times of the day.Overall，people looking at the drone images did a better job than the Al model at finding pretend poachers.The model picked out many things that weren't people at all.But the model found poachers that most people missed.With a little more work，Wich thinks that systems like this will make it easier for conservationists to better protect endangered animals.
（1）What can we say about the researchers' traditional way of studying animals？
A．It's risky and ineffective.
B．It's demanding and cheap.
C．It can cause great harm to wildlife.
D．It usually focuses on land animals.
（2）What can we infer about Conservation AI from the passage？
A．It can replace conservationists' work.
B．It works by studying data first.
C．It can punish the poachers.
D．It is fully automated.
（3）What is Wich's attitude to the future of the AI model？
A．Critical.
B．Hopeful
C．Worried.
D．Prejudiced.
（4）Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？
A．Achievements in Wildlife Conservation
B．Major Discoveries of Biological Species
C．AI Study Has Achieved a Breakthrough
D．Flying Robots Protect Endangered Wildlife組卷：1引用：2難度：0.3

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Today was Community Service Day at school.Maya's class was going to make cards for the seniors living in a nursing home.It was also the first day Maya would be wearing her leg brace （腿支架） to school，which was designed to help her walk more steadily and smoothly.
It was a cold autumn morning，Maya looked down，feeling embarrassed.To make it lovelier，she had delicately decorated the brace with pretty butterfly patterns.Still，she was unsure about others' reaction.All morning at school，kids kept glancing at her brace.To her relief，they didn't say anything.
In the classroom，Maya was drawing little green buds （芽） and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her.She felt his eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking， "What's that for？" Not knowing what to say，Maya pretended she didn't hear him.After a few seconds of awkwardness，she glanced back at him，and found that he looked a little sad.
After lunch，the class set off.The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path.Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up.
Maya and Samir were paired up with a lady who was 83 years old.There at the end of the hall in a wheelchair，with a big smile on her face，sat the lady，wearing a pink coat，with red lipstick and beautiful earrings.She looked bright and full of life.Moving flexibly and fast towards Maya and Samir，she greeted first. "I'm Joan， " she said cheerfully， "Glad to meet you. "
Maya and Samir handed her the cards they made.Joan looked at Samir's card carefully and spoke with admiration， "You've written a poem!That's so artistic!" Samir's face reddened with shyness.Then Joan turned to Maya's picture. "The first flowers of spring!" she cried in delight. "You really have a gift for using colour!" she said.Clearly，Joan's praise added great power into Maya.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
（2）請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
