My grandmother passed away almost 18 years ago but I still miss her every day. She was

such a

n

6 part of my life. My mom, dad, brothers and I lived in her old house for

most of my 7 . When I close my eyes and open my heart, that is how I remember her. I

can still see her in her flower print, cotton dress. I can hear her high-pitched

(高声的)

“HELLO” as I opened the door after school, while her 8 opened to give me a big hug

and kiss. When she hugged me I could feel the love and 9 coming from her heart into

mine.

I thought I knew everything about my “Nana” but 10 , I am still learning more

about her even today. Just yesterday an old family friend stopped to talk to me at the post

office. She told me of what happened once while she visited my Nana when I was still a little

boy. They were sitting around the dining room table and talking. Our friend 11 the

lovely earrings my Nana was wearing. She told Nana how much she liked them and asked if

she could wear them for a couple of days. Without a second thought, my sweet Nana 12

the earrings and gave them to her on the spot

(当场)

. How excited and 13 the friend

was when she got such wonderful gifts.

I decided then that I want to take Nana as my role model. Be nice and care more about

people and less about things.

The passage is probably taken from ________.

A

a newspaper

Have you ever wondered what animals are talking about? With the development of AI,

we may be able to understand their languages!

In Professor Karen Bakker’s new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is

Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants, she talks about how AI is helping us

to make an animal version

(版本)

.

All around the animal kingdom

(王国)

, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and

decipher

(破译)

. For example, elephants talk with each other using infrasound

(次声波)

far below our human hearing range. Coral

(珊瑚)

in the ocean also sends sound waves to

attract baby coral to safer areas to grow. This is surprising as coral doesn’t have any ears!

Scientists have placed listening equipment into these environments to pick up the sounds

humans cannot hear.

After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meaning. For example, Israeli

researchers used AI to translate bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60 percent were

arguments about four things: food, sleep positions

(姿势)

, invasion

(侵犯)

, and unwanted

advances

(求爱)

.

This technology can not only understand the animals but communicate back to them. For

example, bees use dances to communicate. A research team in Germany, therefore, put the

bee language AI system into a robot bee. They asked the robot to create a dance routine

(路线)

to tell the bees where the nectar

(花蜜)

was, Vox reported.

19

What does Karen Bakker’s new book mainly talk about?

A

Why humans should protect animals.

B

How AI helps humans to understand animals.

C

When humans can get closer to animals.

20

How did elephants talk with each other?

试卷第4页,共11页

B

a travel guide C

a shopping website

A

By using infrasound. B

By sending sound waves. C

By waving their big ears.

21

What does the underlined word “equipment” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?

A

.耳机

B

.设备

C

.障碍

22

What can we infer

(推断)

from Paragraph 4?

A

Scientists have got to know how bats argue with each other.

B

Israeli researchers are the first to use AI to translate animals’ languages.

C

Scientists have been able to translate some animals’ languages with AI technology.

23

How did scientists tell bees where the nectar was?

A

They trained other bees to lead them there.

B

They asked a robot bee to teach them a new language.

C

They made a robot bee to tell the bees about the route by dancing.

四、阅读还原6选5

请阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,从文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有一项为多余选项。

Who is the most famous artist in the world? If not Leonardo da Vinci, it might be Pablo

Picasso. Picasso was one of the most famous artists of the 20th century.

Born in Spain, Picasso showed his talent at an early age. 24 The neighbors all

exclaimed that he was a genius (

天才

). However, this “genius” was not an excellent student

when he listened to the class.

As a bad student, Picasso’s detention (

关禁闭

) in school has become very common.

There are only benches and empty walls in the detention room, but he is happy.

25 He

first learned painting from his father, who was an art teacher. 26 He also liked to try

out new ideas. With his father’s support, Picasso was immersed in the world of imagination

every day.

27 One of his most famous periods was his Cubist period (

立体派时期

). Cubism

is when an artist paints things, like a bottle, from at different angles (

角度

) all in the same

picture. So you see the front, the back and the sides of the bottle all at the same time. 28

This new way of painting surprised the art world in the 20th century. Picasso has become

an idol (

偶像

) to many artists nowadays. He has helped us see the world in new ways.

A

Because he can take a piece of paper and paint freely there.

试卷第5页,共11页

B

In a way, it’s a bit like having X-ray (

透视

) eyes.

C

He can make lifelike paper-cut and create many amazing paintings.

D

People put his life and art into different periods.

E

By the time he was 13, he could draw and paint just about anything, and in any style.

F

Picasso’s influence was far-reaching for most of his life.

五、阅读补全短文

Last week, we went on a school trip to the Singapore Botanic Gardens.

(新加坡植物园)

We went there by bus. We talked happily while enjoying the beautiful sceneries along the

way.

It took us three hours to get there. As soon as I got off the bus, I was surprised to find the

beauty of the vegetation

(植物)

. There was beyond our wildest dreams! As we stepped into

the “Amazon Forest”

(微风)

blowing toward us.

After a long walk, we went into the Orchid Garden

(兰花园)

. The moment I laid my

eyes on the flowers there, I let out an excited cry. From blue orchids to yellow orchids, red

orchids to orange orchids, I saw a spectacular site! I feasted my eyes on

(壮观景象)(饱览)

the beautiful flowers.

Just then, it started to rain. Luckily, we were near the Sembcorp Cool House.

(胜科冷室)

We ran as fast as our tired legs could carry us to the cool house. The moment we entered,

we

felt the nice welcoming air-conditioning

(空调)

. There we saw plants that can only grow in

cooler temperatures. There were over 1,000 orchid types to see!

In Singapore, if famous people visit, we will name an orchid after them, to remember

their visit. Our national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim

(胡姬花)

, is also an orchid. This

shows that orchids are important flowers in our country!

I had a wonderful day at the Singapore Botanic Gardens. It has become my favorite

place. Whenever you think you need your mood

(心情)

lifted, the Singapore Botanic

Gardens is the place for you!

As seen from the world map, Singapore is just a little red dot

(点)

. However, there are

amazing wonders that live on the land. Welcome to Sigapore to find more!

Last week, we went on a school trip to the Singapore Botanic Gardens. After three hours’
