When an endangered seabird hits a power line, it makes a sound “very much like the laser sound from Star Wars," says conservation biologist Marc Travers. He should know, as his team from the Endangered Seabird Recovery Project 31_______ thousands of hours of audio to determine if power lines affected local seabirds. Travers was trying to help establish how frequently birds are killed by power lines on the island of Kauai in Hawaii in 2011.

His team recorded 600 hours of audio and sent the recordings to Conservation Metrics, a company that assists conservation efforts with AI 32_______. Conservation Metrics used a program to "listen” to the recordings and count the sounds that 33_______ bird electrocutions(电击). The result was 34_______, as the number of bird electrocutions was in the thousands. Armed with proof that power lines were killing a significant number of birds, the team worked with the local utility (公共事业) service to reduce bird deaths.

In science fiction stories such as The Matrix, Al-powered_ 35 take over the world and end life on the planet as we know it. But in reality, programs that use AI to sort through mountains of data might just save some species from disappearing 36_______.

By many measures, humans have been poor managers of the planet. Humans have 37_______ as much as 97 percent of land ecosystems. Key populations of monitored animals have declined as much as 68 percent since 1970. The decline in biodiversity around the world has created a hopeless situation. Conservation efforts lack key resources they need to be 38_______.

Fortunately, humans now have AI-based tools that can help. AI can quickly and 39_______ sort through large amounts of data created by observations in the field. Then other programs such as PAWS (Protection Assistant for Wildlife Security) can help analyze the data and suggest the most effective ways to focus conservation efforts.

In large national parks and wildlife reserves, illegal hunters are a danger for animals both big and small. Some animals are worth a lot of money on the black market. Park rangers are left with a(n) 40_______ task because there is too much land to cover. But the PAWS program allows rangers to focus their efforts. PAWS has even predicted the existence of trap lines in areas not yet checked by rangers!

We still face many challenges to change the loss of wildlife, but AI-powered programs promise to be a powerful conservation tool.

II. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Online art of all kinds can be accessed by as many people as the hosting server permits. But there is a(n)_ 41 that is allowing people to buy digital art.

Digital art that is sold online is known as an NFT, which 42_______ non-fungible token(非同质化代币). Non-fungible means that the item cannot be_ 43 by a similar item. For example, coins and bills are fungible because they have a set value and are easily exchanged. 44_______ trading cards are non-fungible because their worth varies depending on which card you have. An NFT can be 45_______ anything digital -songs, videos, images or even a social media post, one of which sold for almost USS3 million!

Others may be able to see this NFT, or art, but one person is listed as the owner on a blockchain-that is, a public 46_______. Blockchains are well equipped to keep track of the owner of NFT. In fact, they are used to record all kinds of online 47_______.

As with fine art collecting, some people see purchasing NFTs as a(n) 49_______, buying art that they plan to sell at a higher price later. Others want the esteem (成就感) that comes with owning an NFT made by a famous 50_______. But given that a copy of an NFT is identical to the 51_______, the wisdom of paying massive amounts of money for one may seem 52_______.

On the other hand, the popularity of NFTs is__ 53 good news for the artists who create them. Upon selling their works as NFTs, artists receive much more than the small amounts of money they get when someone streams their video, for example. Some NFTs are even set up so that every time a work changes hands, the creator receives a percentage of the price. Thus, the artist can be paid for a single NFT many times over.

54_______, every NFT is unique, though some creators produce multiple very similar NFTs sort of like how multiple copies of any given trading card exist). 55_______ will tell whether NFT art will pay off for collectors in the long run, but for now it's providing some people-including the artists with large sums of money.

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Jailbreaking commonly refers to unlocking iOS for iPhones and iPads. Seventeen-year-old George Hotz, or geohot as he liked to be called, was the first person to jailbreak an iPhone. He accomplished his feat in 2007, and many others followed his lead.

Jailbreaking an iPhone offers some distinct benefits. With a jailbroken iPhone, you have numerous ways to change any setting to suit your needs. You can also alter the look and feel of the phone so that it matches your personality. Another advantage of jailbreaking for iPhone users is the ability to install apps not offered in Apple's App Store. Cydia, an alternative app store for jailbroken ios devices, offers a variety of apps, some of which cost more than others.

Before jailbreaking your iPhone, you should consider the consequences. Jailbreaking immediately voids (使无效) your iPhone's warranty, which means that Apple is no longer required to fix your phone if something goes wrong. Jailbreaking also exposes you to the dangers associated with alternative apps. Poor quality apps from alternative app stores may cause your iPhone to crash more often or stop working altogether. After jailbreaking your iPhone, you must also be careful not to allow Apple to install new software on your phone.

Apple naturally discourages its customers from jailbreaking their iPhones. According to the company, jailbreaking doesn't just affect the security and stability of an iPhone. It can also shorten the phone's battery life. For many people, this is an important consideration.

56. Which aspects of jailbreaking does the article discuss?

A. The ways in which jailbreaking can save people time

B. The positives and negatives associated with jailbreaking

C. The clients who got into legal trouble for jailbreaking

D. The best and worst techniques for jailbreaking phones

57. What does the article imply about the first person to jailbreak an iPhone?

A. He apologized for his actions.

B. He produced hardware designs.

C. He gave himself a nickname.

D. He was turned down for a job.

58. From this article, what can readers learn about the products offered by Cydia?

A. Their prices vary somewhat.

B. Their inventors are quite young.

C. They're still manufactured abroad.

D. They take only a few moments to install.

59. According to Apple, what might happen after a person jailbreaks his or her iPhone?

A. It might need a new camera stand.

B. It might become harder to sell.

C. It might be easily damaged by water.

D. It might use up its battery faster.

(C)

When disaster strikes a community, it is often critical that assistance be provided right away. The best first responders are the people who call that area home. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program teaches civilians how to prepare themselves for dangers that might affect their communities. Teams of volunteers are trained in basic skills such as fire safety and prevention, search and rescue, and first aid. After training, these volunteers can begin to provide immediate assistance in the consequence of disasters before professional rescuers arrive. A CERT team can make a huge difference to a community. During the early stages of a disastrous event, citizens will likely face extreme challenges on their own. Emergency services are usually overwhelmed (压倒), and communities may be isolated because of blocked roads. A CERT team can size up the situation in their neighborhood and provide help right away. In 1986, untrained volunteers saved more than 800 lives in the Mexico City earthquake. Unfortunately, at least 100 volunteers also died in the process. To ensure their community was better prepared in events like this, Los Angeles piloted the first CERT program in 1986, and many cities followed their lead.

People of all ages can participate in a CERT program-there is even a teen program for adolescents. Local CERT trainers hold an annual training class and provide subsequent (后续的) classes throughout the year to consolidate skills.

CERT programs are useful on many different levels. Volunteers are trained to act as eyes and ears, locating trapped victims for uniformed emergency responders who arrive later. They learn to put out small fires, shut off equipment, rescue survivors and provide basic medical treatment. Volunteers also create disaster plans to evacuate (疏散) families as well as collect and store disaster supplies such as water, food and first- aid kits. Working with professionals, a CERT team can help reduce injuries, loss of life and property damage.

There are now CERT programs throughout the United States, and more than 600,000 people have trained as volunteers. Brazil, New Zealand and Turkey have similar programs. Citizens participate because they believe that everyone in a community has a role in disaster preparedness. By working competently as a team, CERT volunteers protect not only themselves but also the people around them when disasters occur.

63. According to the passage, when do CERT members usually provide assistance?

A. Before those professional rescuers arrive.

B. When uniformed emergency responders arrive.

C. During the early stages of a disastrous event.

D. Throughout the process of rescue in a disaster.

64. The word “pilot" in the second paragraph most probably means

A. conduct

B. imitate

C. pass

D. discuss

65. According to the passage, residents in the community in some countries are willing to be

CERT volunteers because _______.

A. they think each in the community is important in preventing and fighting against disaster

B. they believe everyone in the community has the responsibility in a sudden natural disaster

C. they think volunteers in the community can protect themselves and others in a disaster

D. they believe they can help victims earlier and more effectively than professional ones

66. What would be the proper title for the passage?

A. CERT and professional rescue teams are important

B. CERT is a folk but helpful organization in America

C. Ordinary people can save lives in a natural disaster

D. Volunteers can effectively prevent a natural disaster

Section C

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.

Many people drink protein shakes (高蛋白饮品) regularly to lose weight, build muscle or

both. Others, however, question the belief that protein shakes are better than normal, high-protein foods. So what is the truth?

What is in a protein shake?

Protein shakes are dietary supplements (膳食补充品) designed to help people consume more protein than they otherwise would. 67______ Or people can mix their own shakes using protein powder and other ingredients. Protein powder can be made from plants or animals. Plant-based protein shakes can include soy, pea or rice protein. Animal-based protein powders are usually made from cow's milk. Those who want to stay away from milk can also get protein powder made from egg whites.

Advantages of protein shakes

Studies indicate that consuming protein shakes is helpful if you want to build your muscle. They can also help to improve your performance while exercising and help you to recover from exercise. 68______

Consuming protein shakes can also help you lose weight. Eating a high-protein diet helps you feel full, so it's easier to resist eating too much. High- protein diets can also increase how quickly your body burns energy. When you use more energy than you take in through food, you lose weight. 69______

Disadvantages of protein shakes

However, you don't have to drink protein shakes to have a high-protein diet. Many wholefoods are rich in protein. As a matter of fact, the people in many high-protein diet studies didn't drink protein shakes The studies proved the benefits of eating protein-rich foods. 70______ In contrast, many protein shakes contain sugar or artificial sweeteners, which are not healthy.

To sum up

So yes, protein shakes are convenient, and they work. However, they are not your only choice for eating a high protein diet.

IV. Summary Writing

71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

When you're having fun with your friends, you take selfies. When you visit famous places, you take selfies. When you are in beautiful spots, you take selfies. But sometimes you don't look very attractive in the photos. And, of course, if you're going to post them, you want to look your best. What can you do?

Instead of posting a photo you don't like, you can turn to photo retouching. When you retouch an image, you improve its appearance. Many apps offer you the ability to do that. Their easy-to-use tools help you smooth your skin, make your teeth straighter and whiter, and more. Within the apps, you can also change your facial features. You can make your eyes rounder and brighter. You can change the shape of your face or your nose. You can also change the direction of the light source or add highlights. All in all, you can make yourself look like you wish you looked.

Now you've uploaded your retouched photos to social media. People leave positive comments, and you get a lot of likes. That's great, right? Maybe not. With so many people sharing personal images of their lives, it's almost like a contest.

Who looks the best, takes perfect selfies and lives up to social media's standard of beauty? You need to be part of that crowd so that you don't feel left out. Worse yet, you feel if you're not part of that crowd, you may be criticized for your looks. Maybe you think that if you don't look like the influencers you follow, you're not good enough. People generally retouch themselves to have larger eyes, thinner chins and brighter skin. Does everyone now look the same? It seems like a lot of people are trying to match up to unrealistic beauty ideals. That isn't good for anyone's self-image.

Perhaps it's time to post the real you and only lightly retouched, if at all.
