If you look at a photograph of leopards, would you be able to tell which two were related based on their spots? Unless you’re a leopard expert, the answer is most likely not, says Tanya Berger-Wolf, director of the Translational Data Analytics Institute. But, she says, computers can.

Berger-Wolf and her team are pioneering a new field of study called imageomics (成像组学) which uses machine learning to obtain biological data from photos and videos of living organisms. They have recently begun working together with researchers studying leopards to compare spot patterns of moms and children using efficient algorithms (算法).

Berger-Wolf says the computer uses algorithms to count how many animals are in the image, as well as where and when it was taken, which could contribute to population counts. Not only can AI do this at a much lower cost than hiring people but also at a faster rate. In August 2021, AI analyzed 17 million images instantly.

As Berger-Wolf points out, population size is the most basic indicator of a species’ wellness. AI scanned 11,000 images of whale sharks to create hot spots and help researchers identify individual whale sharks and track their movement, which led to updated information about their population size. This new data made the conservation status of the whale shark changed from “unsafe” to “endangered” in 2016.

AI is still a fast-growing field when it comes to wildlife conservation, but Berger-Wolf is hopeful. For now, the team is cleaning the data of the leopard hot spots to ensure the results are true biologically meaningful information. If meaningful, the data could teach researchers how species are responding to changing habitats and climates and show us where humans can step into help.

4. What can we know about imageomics?

A. It takes photos for animals.

B. It helps in population counts.

C. It’s started by leopard experts.

D. It collects data from computers.

5. Why are whale sharks mentioned in paragraph 4?

A. To introduce their new conservation status.

B. To stress the importance of population size.

C. To discuss factors for the species’ wellness.

D. To show the value of AI in animal protection.

6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Imageomics will further support researchers’ work.

B. These data on leopards are not reliable as expected.

C. Researchers fear AI would change animal behaviors.

D. AI could really replace human effort in animal protection.

C

以下A(易)、B(难)两种题型任选一种，做A题型的不做B，做B题型的不做A。

For a period of time in the early 80s, I watched I Dream of Jeannie reruns every afternoon in the empty time between school and supper. But I always felt a little deflated when the closing theme came on, since it meant that I had to wait an entire day for the next episode.

Decades later, thanks to the modern technology, on-demand viewing and an endless supply of content now allow us to find exactly the entertainment we want, when we want it. My own kids happily binge-watch (刷剧) Fresh Off the Boat, just as I dreamed of doing with Jeannie.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about a disadvantage of our just-for-you world. My kids miss out on all the things that are not just for them. Looking back, some of my more memorable discoveries as a child came about only because I didn’t have access to entertainment that I would have preferred.

When we would visit our aunts, my sisters and brothers and I didn’t have tablets to keep ourselves occupied while the adults chatted. So we would read whatever we could find. I looked forward to Sunday afternoons at Aunt Rose’s so that I could catch up on aliens (外星人) and Hollywood stars in Weekly World News. These things — none of which were aimed at my tastes — were all that was on offer. However, they brought me so much enjoyment.

Electronic searching now takes us directly to what we seek. We are less likely to come across things that have nothing to do with what we are looking for. But finding something by accident is powerful in its purposelessness. It’s nature throwing things up against a wall to see what sticks. It’s the force that drives evolution.

Getting exactly what you want all the time sounds great. But as anyone who is familiar with fantasy stories knows, there’s always a catch.

(以下是A种题型)

7. What does the underlined word “deflated” in paragraph 1 mean?

A. Depressed. B. Thrilled. C. Convinced. D. Ashamed.

8. What brought happiness to the author at Aunt Rose’s?

A. Latest tablets. B. Brothers and sisters.

C. Various reading materials. D. Pleasant conversations.

9. What is the author’s attitude to electronic searching?

A. It contributes to the evolution.

B. It’s absolutely beneficial to adults.

C. It’s a blessing of this modern world.

D. It takes unexpected joy away from people.

10. Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A. What was on offer in the early 80s

B. What our kids miss out in a just-for-you world

C. How adults had fun with inaccessible entertainment

D. How anxious-to-please Internet changed the future of kids

(以下是B种题型)

11. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?

_________________________________________________________

12. Where did the author get memorable discoveries as a child?

_________________________________________________________

13. What is the advantage of finding something by accident according to paragraph 5?

_________________________________________________________

14 What does the author think of fantasy stories?

_________________________________________________________

Elaine is one of Megan’s best friends and they are together all the time.

Elaine’s family won a five-day stay in a mountain cabin (小屋) with only two chairs and Elaine’s Mom and Dad said Megan could come along.

When Megan told her parents about the wonderful invitation, her Mom said, “That sounds fun, but keep in mind that five days is a long time to spend with a friend. Space is important”. Megan shook her hand and said. “We are happily sticking together.”

A few weeks later, Elaine with her parents and Megan arrived at a lovable cabin. Unfortunately, it rained a lot for three days, which meant outdoor activities were impossible. Elaine and Megan found a couple of board games and a pack of cards and sat down. At first, it was fun. But they ended up playing those games for about so many hours. On the third day, Megan thought they could read by themselves for a while. But Elaine suggested they sing together and Elaine started singing loudly.

“Could you please leave me alone? I want some quiet time.” Megan asked rudely.

“Fine with me. How about we both leave each other alone forever?” Elaine asked angrily.

“Fine with me, too!” Megan said.

【50题答案】

【答案】Dear Roy,

How is it going? I’m writing to invite you to attend a photography exhibition held in our school, whose theme is “Impressive changes around me”. Here is some detailed information.

The exhibition will last for about three hours in the school hall on Feb. 15th. In addition, the exhibition will feature about fifty students’ works centering on the ways people live and work in this fast-developing city. You will surely be amazed by the brilliant pictures and thus more familiar with the city.

I would be very joyful if you could come. I’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Students’ Union

第二节(满分15分)

【51题答案】

【答案】One possible version:

Obviously, the cabin was quite tiny, so it was impossible to leave each other alone. Megan sat in one chair, trying to read and Elaine sat in another, singing song after song. When Elaine’s Dad noticed the strange atmosphere, he chose to figure out what had happened. He thought of the expression “too much of a good thing”, and explained that one piece of cake tastes delicious, but 10 is too much.

Thanks to the expression “too much of a good thing” from Elaine’ s Dad, things got better. Elaine and Megan are still great friends. They realize that even best friends need to give each other some space when they need it. What’s more, good friends need to show respect and patience. In this way, it will be easier to understand each other and maintain their friendship.
