Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
Begus is a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley. He got the chance, last summer, to observe sperm whales in their wild Caribbean habitat. With him were marine (海洋的) biologists and roboticists. There were also cryptographers and experts in other fields. All have been working together to listen to sperm whales and figure out what they might be saying.
They call this Project CETI. Project CETI's team is not the only group turning to AI for help decoding animal talk. Researchers have trained AI models to sort through the sounds of prairie dogs, dolphins, naked mole rats and many other creatures.
Long before AI came into the picture, scientists and others have worked toward understanding animal communication. Some learned that vervet monkeys have different calls when warning of leopards, eagles or pythons. Others discovered that elephants communicate in rumbles too low for human ears to hear. Bats chatter in squeaks too high for our hearing. Still other groups have explored how bees communicate through dance.
“It took us a long time to measure all these things，” says researcher Karen Bakker. AI, she notes, has the potential to greatly speed up this type of research. Perhaps one day we'll be able to use AI to build a futuristic chat box that translates animal sounds into human language, or vice versa (反之亦然)．
“AI could eventually get us to the point where we understand animals，”says Bakker. What's interesting to her is what we can learn from how bats and other creatures talk among each other. We should listen to animals for better protection, she argues. For example, a system set up to record whales or elephants can also track their locations. This can help us avoid whales with our boats or prevent elephants from illegal hunters.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了一個叫CETI的項目。它旨在通過人工智能分析動物之間的對話，從而可以更好地保護動物。

3．What is NOT true according to Karen Bakker
A．Animal researches used to be time-consuming.
B．Animals may one day understand human language.
C．We can already well figure out animal talk with AI.
D．We apply AI to eventually assist us protect animals.
解析：推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段中“AI, she notes, has the potential to ... animal sounds into human language, or vice versa(反之亦然)．”可推知，在Karen Bakker的觀點中，我們已經可以用人工智能很好地理解動物的對話這項陳述是不正確的。故選C項。
√
4．What is the best title for the text
A．AI: A Potential Threat to Human Future
B．AI: A Technology Beneficial to the Earth
C．AI: A Tool to Understand and Protect Animals
D．AI: A Field of Fierce Major-country Competition
解析：標題歸納題。根據文章大意以及最后一段中“We should listen to animals for better protection, she argues ... This can help us avoid whales with our boats or prevent elephants from illegal hunters.”可知，文章主要講的是一個叫 CETI的項目。它旨在通過人工智能分析動物之間的對話，從而可以更好地保護動物。故文章最好的標題是“人工智能：一個了解和保護動物的工具”，故選C項。

While facial recognition technology continues to promote many aspects of human life, it's now being applied to aid the protection of giant pandas, Xinhua News Agency reported on 6 January.
A nature reserve has built an AI-enabled video monitoring system to better protect giant pandas. Installed with 300 infrared (紅外線) cameras, the monitoring system helps ensure the health and safety of 110 wild giant pandas there. It was put into operation two years ago, and has captured numerous photos and videos of pandas engaged in activities such as eating, resting and fighting for mates. It provides scientific data to help us grasp pandas' living conditions and establish conservation strategies. More importantly, it achieves real-time monitoring of the reserve so that we can discern the threats to the wildlife as early as possible.
A recent study found the facial recognition system can automatically recognize various wild animals caught in infrared cameras, allowing researchers to collect data on giant pandas while staying indoors. It's shown that by equipping the AI-aided system to retain the filed photos of giant pandas, we obtain a 98% success rate for species recognition. Its success rate of recognizing other wild animals can top 80%. In 2021 alone, this monitoring system captured 2,896 photos of giant pandas and other rare animals and filmed 3,218 seconds of footage, showcasing the reserve's sound ecological environment as well as a gradual rise in panda population there.
Head of the reserve's administration, Liu Xingming, said researchers used the system not only to observe the dynamics and health of the giant panda population but also to learn about changes in the natural surroundings of their habitat. “The monitoring system has enabled systematic, scientific, and intelligent conservation of wildlife，” he added. “However, it is expected to be further improved and optimized in the near future.”
語篇解讀：本文是一篇新聞報道。文章介紹了一種新的面部識別監控技術，這種技術可以應用于野生動物數據收集，幫助更好地保護野生動物。
5．What does the underlined word “discern” mean in paragraph 2
A．Solve.　　　　　　　　 B．Affect.
C．Detect. D．Attach.
√
解析：詞義猜測題。畫線詞前面“it achieves real-time monitoring of the reserve”提到實現了對保護區的實時監控，后面又說可以盡早 對野生動物的威脅。由此可推知，實時監控可以幫助盡早“發現”對野生動物的威脅，discern詞義與“發現”相近。
√
6．What can be inferred about the new technology from the study
A．It contributes to species data collection.
B．It makes panda population rise rapidly.
C．It precisely recognizes any species.
D．It understands pandas' facial appearance.
解析：推理判斷題。根據第二段中的“It was put into ... strategies.”可知，使用新技術拍攝了大量大熊貓進食、休息和爭奪配偶等活動的照片和視頻，這種技術為我們掌握大熊貓的生存狀況、制定保護策略提供了科學依據。由此可推知，新技術有助于物種數據的收集。
√
7．What is Liu Xingming's attitude to the facial recognition monitoring system
A．Critical. B．Ambiguous.
C．Objective. D．Conservative.
解析：推理判斷題。根據最后一段Liu說的話可知，Liu認為監測系統實現了對野生動物的系統、科學和智能保護，不過在不久的將來，監測系統有望得到進一步的改進和優化。由此可推知，Liu對監測系統的態度是比較客觀的。
√
8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Panda Facial Recognition Using Database

Ways to Help the Troubled Monarch Butterflies
The monarch butterfly (帝王蝶) is considered an endangered species. Scientists say the dropping number of monarchs is due to climate change, loss of living places and the use of pesticides — chemicals that kill insects — and herbicides — chemicals that kill plants. 9
One of the quickest and best ways to help is to plant milkweed on your land. Milkweed is a kind of plant that has white juice. Monarch butterflies eat milkweed and lay their eggs there. 10 However, not all milkweed is the same. It is important to choose the right kind of milkweed. Planting tropical milkweed in the United States is a problem because it is not native to the country. It blooms or flowers for longer periods of time. This can make it harder for monarchs to know when it is time to migrate (遷徙)．
Other plants, especially those with flowers that have honey, can be helpful to adult monarchs. These plants can be good-quality food for the butterflies. 11 Invasive plants can do more harm than good to monarchs. It is a good idea to include plants that flower late in the growing season. These plants can help give monarchs the energy they need for their yearly migration in autumn.
12 Chemicals can harm insects, including monarchs. They can also harm birds. Natural or organic poisons may also be harmful. Use them after dark, when butterflies are not as active. When the morning arrives, the product will be dry and not as effective. The butterflies will be safe.
Another way to help monarchs is to create a butterfly water feeding area. Add water to sand in a sunny area. 13 Butterflies can rest on the stone, take in the sun and drink the water from the pool. And you can sit and enjoy the beautiful monarchs.
A．They need milkweed to survive.
B．Find an appropriate place for milkweed.
C．Set a flat rock in the middle of the area.
D．You can grow your own ones from seeds.
E．Be sure to choose plants that are native to your area.
F．Next，think about the chemicals you use in your own garden.
G．But there are things that people can do to help the beloved black-and-orange insects.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了導致帝王蝶數量減少的原因以及改進措施。
9．選G　根據上文內容“Scientists say ... plants. ”可知，帝王蝶數量正在減少。而下文則介紹了一些幫助帝王蝶的方法。選項G承上啟下，符合文意。
10．選A　根據上文內容“Monarch butterflies ... there. ”可知，帝王蝶依賴乳草屬植物而存活。選項A符合文意。
11．選E　根據空后內容“Invasive plants ...monarchs. ”可知，帝王蝶不能食用入侵植物。選項E與下文內容一致。
12．選F　空處為段首句，概述本段主要內容。根據下文“Chemicals can harm ...harmful. ”可知，本段主要講述的是化學物質對帝王蝶的危害。選項F與下文內容一致。
13．選C　根據下文內容“Butterflies can rest ...pool.”可知，作者建議在蝴蝶飲水的地方放一塊大石頭。選項C與下文內容一致。Section Ⅱ　“Reading and Thinking”的課文習讀環節

If the sixth mass extinction occurs， scientists who have studied the issue believe that up to
①
three quarters of all species on Earth could die out. Of course, as we humans depend on so many species for our survival, we would also be at risk of dying out. Our world and our lives depend on the balance in nature between animals and plants. clean water, we would be unable to survive.
Can the sixth mass extinction be avoided Experts say that it is not yet too late, if we take action now. This would mean we have to significantly change the way we live. For example, we need to take steps to save endangered species, including setting up special areas where plants and animals can be protected. We need to change how we work and travel by using cleaner, more natural sources of energy, such as wind and solar energy. We also need to improve our farming methods to reduce water，air and land pollution. planet that we live on and start to protect it.

Begus is a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley. He got the chance, last summer, to observe sperm whales in their wild Caribbean habitat. With him were marine (海洋的) biologists and roboticists. There were also cryptographers and experts in other fields. All have been working together to listen to sperm whales and figure out what they might be saying. They call this Project CETI. Project CETI's team is not the only group turning to AI for help decoding animal talk. Researchers have trained AI models to sort through the sounds of prairie dogs, dolphins, naked mole rats and many other creatures.
Long before AI came into the picture, scientists and others have worked toward understanding animal communication. Some learned that vervet monkeys have different calls when warning of leopards, eagles or pythons. Others discovered that elephants communicate in rumbles too low for human ears to hear. Bats chatter in squeaks too high for our hearing. Still other groups have explored how bees communicate through dance.
“It took us a long time to measure all these things，” says researcher Karen Bakker. AI, she notes, has the potential to greatly speed up this type of research. Perhaps one day we'll be able to use AI to build a futuristic chat box that translates animal sounds into human language, or vice versa (反之亦然)．
“AI could eventually get us to the point where we understand animals，”says Bakker. What's interesting to her is what we can learn from how bats and other creatures talk among each other. We should listen to animals for better protection, she argues. For example, a system set up to record whales or elephants can also track their locations. This can help us avoid whales with our boats or prevent elephants from illegal hunters.

B．Animals may one day understand human language.
C．We can already well figure out animal talk with AI.
D．We apply AI to eventually assist us protect animals.
4．What is the best title for the text
A．AI: A Potential Threat to Human Future

While facial recognition technology continues to promote many aspects of human life, it's now being applied to aid the protection of giant pandas, Xinhua News Agency reported on 6 January.
A nature reserve has built an AI enabled video monitoring system to better protect giant pandas. Installed with 300 infrared (紅外線) cameras, the monitoring system helps ensure the health and safety of 110 wild giant pandas there. It was put into operation two years ago, and has captured numerous photos and videos of pandas engaged in activities such as eating, resting and fighting for mates. It provides scientific data to help us grasp pandas' living conditions and establish conservation strategies. More importantly, it achieves real time monitoring of the reserve so that we can discern the threats to the wildlife as early as possible.
A recent study found the facial recognition system can automatically recognize various wild animals caught in infrared cameras, allowing researchers to collect data on giant pandas while staying indoors. It's shown that by equipping the AI aided system to retain the filed photos of giant pandas, we obtain a 98% success rate for species recognition. Its success rate of recognizing other wild animals can top 80%. In 2021 alone, this monitoring system captured 2,896 photos of giant pandas and other rare animals and filmed 3,218 seconds of footage, showcasing the reserve's sound ecological environment as well as a gradual rise in panda population there.
Head of the reserve's administration, Liu Xingming, said researchers used the system not only to observe the dynamics and health of the giant panda population but also to learn about changes in the natural surroundings of their habitat. “The monitoring system has enabled systematic, scientific, and intelligent conservation of wildlife，” he added. “However, it is expected to be further improved and optimized in the near future.”
5．What does the underlined word “discern” mean in paragraph 2
A．Solve.　　　　　　　　 B．Affect.
C．Detect. D．Attach.
6．What can be inferred about the new technology from the study
A．It contributes to species data collection.
B．It makes panda population rise rapidly.
C．It precisely recognizes any species.
D．It understands pandas' facial appearance.
7．What is Liu Xingming's attitude to the facial recognition monitoring system
A．Critical. B．Ambiguous.
C．Objective. D．Conservative.
8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Panda Facial Recognition Using Database
B．AI Technology for Better Panda Protection
C．Functions of Facial Recognition Technology
D．A Breakthrough in Video Monitoring System

Ways to Help the Troubled Monarch Butterflies
The monarch butterfly (帝王蝶) is considered an endangered species. Scientists say the dropping number of monarchs is due to climate change, loss of living places and the use of pesticides — chemicals that kill insects — and herbicides — chemicals that kill plants. __9__
One of the quickest and best ways to help is to plant milkweed on your land. Milkweed is a kind of plant that has white juice. Monarch butterflies eat milkweed and lay their eggs there. __10__ However, not all milkweed is the same. It is important to choose the right kind of milkweed. Planting tropical milkweed in the United States is a problem because it is not native to the country. It blooms or flowers for longer periods of time. This can make it harder for monarchs to know when it is time to migrate (遷徙)．
Other plants, especially those with flowers that have honey, can be helpful to adult monarchs. These plants can be good quality food for the butterflies. __11__ Invasive plants can do more harm than good to monarchs. It is a good idea to include plants that flower late in the growing season. These plants can help give monarchs the energy they need for their yearly migration in autumn.
__12__ Chemicals can harm insects, including monarchs. They can also harm birds. Natural or organic poisons may also be harmful. Use them after dark, when butterflies are not as active. When the morning arrives, the product will be dry and not as effective. The butterflies will be safe.
Another way to help monarchs is to create a butterfly water feeding area. Add water to sand in a sunny area. __13__ Butterflies can rest on the stone, take in the sun and drink the water from the pool. And you can sit and enjoy the beautiful monarchs.
A．They need milkweed to survive.
B．Find an appropriate place for milkweed.
C．Set a flat rock in the middle of the area.
D．You can grow your own ones from seeds.
E．Be sure to choose plants that are native to your area.
F．Next, think about the chemicals you use in your own garden.
G．But there are things that people can do to help the beloved black and orange insects.
