In Takma Park, Maryland, in suburban Washingtn, peple, adults r students, lined up at a pay phne utside a restaurant several times a week.
“Once I put the phne ut there, it just tk ff,” said David Schulman, a Takma Park vilinist wh created the Bird Calls Phne. Listeners push 1 t hear a yellw-crwned night hern (夜鹭), 7 t hear a pileated (红冠) wdpecker’s call and 9 fr the distinct scream f a red-tailed hawk. Instructins abut hw t use the phne are in three languages: English, Spanish and Amharic — a reflectin f Takma Park’s Ethipian cmmunity. In all, 10 birds native t the Takma Park area are featured.
In additin t being fun, listening t Bird sngs can reduce stress and anxiety, studies shw. Even hearing recrdings f birds can relieve negative emtins.
After nticing an abandned, nnwrking pay phne in twn, Schulman wndered if he culd turn it int smething appealing. He said, “I really like the ld technlgy f just picking up a receiver, pressing ne buttn and having smething happen.” Schulman thught bringing birds sunds t the abandned phne was a way t add a bit f nature t the neighbrhd.
Takma Park city fficials agreed, and they budgeted $5, 000 t cmplete the prject. Schulman reached ut t The McCaulay Library in Ithaca, New Yrk, which agreed t send him a few dzen recrdings f native birds. He then managed t gain the help f sftware engineer and artist Branden Hall t rewire the phne t play different bird calls. Schulman said he persuaded several f his friends t recrd shrt descriptins f each bird t g with the calls.
“One thing I like abut the Bird Calls Phne is that it’s the ppsite f a lud bradcast,” Schulman said. “Only ne persn can listen at a time, and each persn will take away their wn unique experience.”
24. What will listeners hear if they press buttns n the pay phne?
A. The calls f native birds.B. Sngs in different languages.
C. Descriptins f lcal creatures.D. Instructins n reducing stress.
25. Which f the fllwing best describes David Schulman?
A. Observant and nature-lving.B. Diligent and easy-ging.
C. Serius and public-spirited.D. Ambitius and kind-hearted.
26. What can be inferred abut the prject?
A. It encurages art appreciatin.
B. It presents the harmny amng birds.
C. It turns lud bradcasts int private phnes.
D. It receives brad supprt frm the cmmunity.
27. What can be a suitable title fr the text?

In 1835, William Talbt finally succeeded in prducing a phtgraph f his cuntry huse. He declared that his was the first huse ever knwn t have drawn its wn picture. The drawing was frmed “by the actin f light upn sensitive paper. ” Phtgraphy ffered nature a “pencil” t paint herself thrugh ptical (光学的) and chemical means alne.
By the mid-nineteenth century, peple n lnger needed t hire a draftsman t draw detailed images because the prcess culd be cmpleted instantly with a camera. Advcates fr the technlgy stated that nt nly was it mre precise than the human hand-it was faster and cheaper.
The remval f human fallibility in the creating prcess was ne f phtgraphy’s biggest selling pints, but this als started debates abut the new medium’s implicatins fr visual culture. Culd images made largely by a machine be cnsidered art? If s, where did human creativity fit in this prcess?
As the twenty-first century becmes increasingly autmated (自动化的), mre and mre peple attempt t identify where human agency exists in the technlgically driven wrld. Images generated with artificial intelligence by cmpanies like OpenAI are stimulating questins like thse that emerged with the cming f the phtgraph. By typing a sentence, users can generate “new” images cmpsed frm images cllected acrss the internet. The result has been a fld f AI-generated images in places that are previusly unique t human authrs. Painting cmpetitins, cmmercial graphic design and the fashin f prtraiture (肖像) have all since cllided with the technlgy in trubling ways.
The fine arts were thught t be a final hld-ut f human creativity, but the surprisingly high quality f AI-generated images is prducing deeper questins abut the nature f riginality. If the histry f phtgraphy tells us anything, it’s that the debate wn’t be settled quickly, straightfrwardly r by the institutins we typically assciate with cultural gatekeeping.
28. Why did Talbt declare that his huse had drawn its wn picture?
A. T dwnplay human factrs in the creatin.
B. T investigate a supernatural phenmenn.
C. T shw his advanced knwledge in science.
D. T demnstrate the beauty f his cuntry huse.
29. What des the wrd “it” underlined in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. The pht f Talbt’s huse.B. The image by a draftsman.
C. The technlgy f a camera.D. The paper sensitive t light.
30. What d OpenAI and cameras have in cmmn?
A. They imprve the taste f beauty.B. They advcate fashin designs.
C. They challenge human agency.D. They prduce riginal images.
31. What did the authr indicate by referring t the histry f phtgraphy?
A. Cultural gatekeepers will slve the issue as they did.
B. AI-generated images will g thrugh a similar debate.
C. The nature f riginality will be held in human hands.
D. The fine arts will include phtgraphy and AI images.

Humans have sailed the ceans’ surfaces fr millennia (千年), but their depths remain effectively uncharted. Only abut a quarter f the seaflr has been mapped at high reslutin. Maps f mst regins display nly apprximate depths and ften miss entire underwater muntains r canyns (峡谷).
S a grup f researchers has recruited sme deep-diving experts: Elephant Seals and Weddell Seals. Scientists have been placing trackers n these blubbery marine mammals arund Antarctica fr years, gathering data n cean temperature and salinity. Fr a new study, the researchers cmpared these dives’ lcatin and depth data with sme f the less detailed seaflr maps. They sptted places where the seals dve deeper than shuld have been pssible accrding t the maps-meaning the existing depth estimates were inaccurate.
In eastern Antarctica’s Vincennes Bay, the diving seals helped the scientists find a large, hidden underwater canyn. An Australian research ship called the RSV Nuyina later measured the canyn’s exact depth using snar, and the researchers have prpsed naming their find the Mirunga-Nuyina Canyn — hnring bth the ship and the invlved Elephant Seals, genus (动植物的属) Mirunga.
But seals can’t map the entire cean flr. The trackers used in the study culd pinpint a seal’s gegraphical lcatin nly within abut 1.5miles. Plus, because the seals dn’t always dive t the bttm f the cean, they can reveal nly where the bttm is deeper than in existing maps — nt shallwer. McMahn ntes that scientists culd imprve n these data by using mre precise GPS trackers and analyzing the seals’ diving patterns t determine whether they have reached the seaflr r simply stpped descending.
The current seal-dive data can still be valuable fr an imprtant task says Anna Wåhlin, an ceangrapher. The deep cean arund Antarctica is warmer than the frigid waters at the surface, and seaflr canyns can allw that warmer water t flw t the ice alng the cntinent’s cast, Wåhlin explains. T predict hw Antarctica’s ice will melt, scientists will need t knw where thse canyns are and hw deep they g.
32. What prblem is mentined at the beginning f the text?
A. Lack f the map.B. Nt enugh tls.
C. Ineffective charts.D. Inaccurate measurement.
33. Hw did the researchers cnduct the study?
A. By bserving the seals.B. By cmparing different data.
C. By using advanced equipment.D. By analyzing the existing maps.
34. What des the underlined wrds “their find” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. The canyn.B. The ship.C. The seals.D. The genus.
35. What can be inferred frm the text?
A. The present data is f little use.
B. Seal’s swimming pattern influences the data.
C. The cean’s surface arund Antarctica is warmer.
D. The seal can’t reach deep cean because f temperature.

One year ag, when we were in the fifth grade, a new classmate named Jack jined us.

Later, during a class meeting, ur teacher, Ms. Zhang, tld us abut his stry f using garbage t make inventins.

Accrding t Ms. Zhang, mst f his inventins were picked up frm garbage dumps (堆). During that class meeting, Jack shwed us his inventin f a“dmestic wastewater separatin system”.
Afterwards, sme f us became deeply interested in these small inventins and started t admire Jack’s way f “picking up trash”. We even jined him in picking up trash n weekends and during hlidays. Frm then n, we n lnger called him the “trash king”. Instead, we frmed a grup f five bys and actively searched fr usable materials in varius garbage dumps arund the city. Under Jack’s guidance, we learned that there are many uses fr seemingly useless trash. Once, we stayed at schl t prcess the cllected materials. Jack mentined that he was facing a prblem with his latest inventin—a small cart fr buying vegetables that needed t be lightweight. All ther materials were slved except fr the wheels. Hw culd we find a suitable material fr the wheels? We racked ur brains (绞尽脑汁) and came up with different ideas, such as using sda cans r taking ff the wheels frm suitcases. Hwever, Jack reminded us that ur grup shuld fcus n making inventins frm waste rather than causing damage t create them. We were all deep in thught.

Phil Cleaver, a British designer, wn a prize in the 2024 Glbal Zdiac Design Cmpetitin fr his wrk well including ancient representatins f the Chinese dragn.
T display his understanding f this year’s Chinese zdiac animal, the Chinese dragn, als knwn as “lng” accrding t its prnunciatin in Chinese, Cleaver cmbined different symblic bjects in his wrk: an antique Chinese dragn-shaped pipe placed acrss an pen bk, with the bk resting against a backbard.
“The lng itself is an antique pipe, beautiful in its detail, and it sits n a bk that is a stry f a dragn. The bk is a very ld symbl f knwledge ... the bk reflects the knwledge and wisdm f the lng,” Phil Cleaver tld Xinhua in a written interview.
This is his secnd time taking part in this cntest. Last year, fr the cntest marking the Year f the Rabbit, he presented a print entitled Rabbit Mn, which he said was inspired by an ancient Chinese fairy tale.
Referring t a cmparisn between the Western and Chinese dragns, Cleaver said the tw types f dragns share sme similarities in hw they are shwn in paintings, but Chinese culture cntributes much better qualities t the dragns than the cncept f a hrrible animal well accepted in Western culture.

In Takma Park, Maryland, in suburban Washingtn, peple, adults r students, lined up at a pay phne utside a restaurant several times a week.
“Once I put the phne ut there, it just tk ff,” said David Schulman, a Takma Park vilinist wh created the Bird Calls Phne. Listeners push 1 t hear a yellw-crwned night hern (夜鹭), 7 t hear a pileated (红冠) wdpecker’s call and 9 fr the distinct scream f a red-tailed hawk. Instructins abut hw t use the phne are in three languages: English, Spanish and Amharic — a reflectin f Takma Park’s Ethipian cmmunity. In all, 10 birds native t the Takma Park area are featured.

After nticing an abandned, nnwrking pay phne in twn, Schulman wndered if he culd turn it int smething appealing. He said, “I really like the ld technlgy f just picking up a receiver, pressing ne buttn and having smething happen.” Schulman thught bringing birds sunds t the abandned phne was a way t add a bit f nature t the neighbrhd.
Takma Park city fficials agreed, and they budgeted $5, 000 t cmplete the prject. Schulman reached ut t The McCaulay Library in Ithaca, New Yrk, which agreed t send him a few dzen recrdings f native birds. He then managed t gain the help f sftware engineer and artist Branden Hall t rewire the phne t play different bird calls. Schulman said he persuaded several f his friends t recrd shrt descriptins f each bird t g with the calls.
“One thing I like abut the Bird Calls Phne is that it’s the ppsite f a lud bradcast,” Schulman said. “Only ne persn can listen at a time, and each persn will take away their wn unique experience.”
24. What will listeners hear if they press buttns n the pay phne?

In 1835, William Talbt finally succeeded in prducing a phtgraph f his cuntry huse. He declared that his was the first huse ever knwn t have drawn its wn picture. The drawing was frmed “by the actin f light upn sensitive paper. ” Phtgraphy ffered nature a “pencil” t paint herself thrugh ptical (光学的) and chemical means alne.
By the mid-nineteenth century, peple n lnger needed t hire a draftsman t draw detailed images because the prcess culd be cmpleted instantly with a camera. Advcates fr the technlgy stated that nt nly was it mre precise than the human hand-it was faster and cheaper.
The remval f human fallibility in the creating prcess was ne f phtgraphy’s biggest selling pints, but this als started debates abut the new medium’s implicatins fr visual culture. Culd images made largely by a machine be cnsidered art? If s, where did human creativity fit in this prcess?
As the twenty-first century becmes increasingly autmated (自动化的), mre and mre peple attempt t identify where human agency exists in the technlgically driven wrld. Images generated with artificial intelligence by cmpanies like OpenAI are stimulating questins like thse that emerged with the cming f the phtgraph. By typing a sentence, users can generate “new” images cmpsed frm images cllected acrss the internet. The result has been a fld f AI-generated images in places that are previusly unique t human authrs. Painting cmpetitins, cmmercial graphic design and the fashin f prtraiture (肖像) have all since cllided with the technlgy in trubling ways.
The fine arts were thught t be a final hld-ut f human creativity, but the surprisingly high quality f AI-generated images is prducing deeper questins abut the nature f riginality. If the histry f phtgraphy tells us anything, it’s that the debate wn’t be settled quickly, straightfrwardly r by the institutins we typically assciate with cultural gatekeeping.
28. Why did Talbt declare that his huse had drawn its wn picture?
A. T dwnplay human factrs in the creatin.
B. T investigate a supernatural phenmenn.
C. T shw his advanced knwledge in science.
D. T demnstrate the beauty f his cuntry huse.
29. What des the wrd “it” underlined in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. The pht f Talbt’s huse.B. The image by a draftsman.
C. The technlgy f a camera.D. The paper sensitive t light.
30. What d OpenAI and cameras have in cmmn?
A. They imprve the taste f beauty.B. They advcate fashin designs.
C. They challenge human agency.D. They prduce riginal images.
31. What did the authr indicate by referring t the histry f phtgraphy?
A. Cultural gatekeepers will slve the issue as they did.
B. AI-generated images will g thrugh a similar debate.
C. The nature f riginality will be held in human hands.
D. The fine arts will include phtgraphy and AI images.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能可以代替人类进行作画，其出现引起了人们的讨论类似于当初摄影的出现。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“He declared that his was the first huse ever knwn t have drawn its wn picture. The drawing was frmed “by the actin f light upn sensitive paper. ” Phtgraphy ffered nature a “pencil” t paint herself thrugh ptical (光学的) and chemical means alne.(他宣称他的房子是已知的第一个自己画房子的房子。这幅画是“光在感光纸上的作用”形成的。摄影为大自然提供了一支“铅笔”，仅通过光学和化学手段为自己作画)”可知，塔尔博特宣称他的房子画了自己的画是为了淡化创作中的人为因素。故选A。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“By the mid-nineteenth century, peple n lnger needed t hire a draftsman t draw detailed images because the prcess culd be cmpleted instantly with a camera.(到19世纪中期，人们不再需要聘请绘图员来绘制详细的图像，因为这个过程可以用相机立即完成)”以及划线词后文“mre precise than the human hand-it was faster and cheaper”可知，照相机的技术不仅比人手更精确，而且更快、更便宜。故划线词指的是“照相机的技术”，故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“As the twenty-first century becmes increasingly autmated (自动化的), mre and mre peple attempt t identify where human agency exists in the technlgically driven wrld. Images generated with artificial intelligence by cmpanies like OpenAI are stimulating questins like thse that emerged with the cming f the phtgraph.(随着二十一世纪变得越来越自动化，越来越多的人试图确定人类在技术驱动的世界中的作用。OpenAI等公司用人工智能生成的图像引发了一些问题，就像照片出现时出现的那些问题一样)”可知，OpenAI和相机的共同之处在于都挑战了人类的作用。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If the histry f phtgraphy tells us anything, it’s that the debate wn’t be settled quickly, straightfrwardly r by the institutins we typically assciate with cultural gatekeeping.(如果说摄影的历史告诉了我们什么，那就是这场争论不会很快、直截了当地得到解决，也不会由我们通常与文化把关联系在一起的机构来解决)”可推知，作者提到摄影的历史是想说明人工智能生成的图像将经历类似的辩论。故选B。

Humans have sailed the ceans’ surfaces fr millennia (千年), but their depths remain effectively uncharted. Only abut a quarter f the seaflr has been mapped at high reslutin. Maps f mst regins display nly apprximate depths and ften miss entire underwater muntains r canyns (峡谷).
S a grup f researchers has recruited sme deep-diving experts: Elephant Seals and Weddell Seals. Scientists have been placing trackers n these blubbery marine mammals arund Antarctica fr years, gathering data n cean temperature and salinity. Fr a new study, the researchers cmpared these dives’ lcatin and depth data with sme f the less detailed seaflr maps. They sptted places where the seals dve deeper than shuld have been pssible accrding t the maps-meaning the existing depth estimates were inaccurate.
In eastern Antarctica’s Vincennes Bay, the diving seals helped the scientists find a large, hidden underwater canyn. An Australian research ship called the RSV Nuyina later measured the canyn’s exact depth using snar, and the researchers have prpsed naming their find the Mirunga-Nuyina Canyn — hnring bth the ship and the invlved Elephant Seals, genus (动植物的属) Mirunga.
But seals can’t map the entire cean flr. The trackers used in the study culd pinpint a seal’s gegraphical lcatin nly within abut 1.5miles. Plus, because the seals dn’t always dive t the bttm f the cean, they can reveal nly where the bttm is deeper than in existing maps — nt shallwer. McMahn ntes that scientists culd imprve n these data by using mre precise GPS trackers and analyzing the seals’ diving patterns t determine whether they have reached the seaflr r simply stpped descending.
The current seal-dive data can still be valuable fr an imprtant task says Anna Wåhlin, an ceangrapher. The deep cean arund Antarctica is warmer than the frigid waters at the surface, and seaflr canyns can allw that warmer water t flw t the ice alng the cntinent’s cast, Wåhlin explains. T predict hw Antarctica’s ice will melt, scientists will need t knw where thse canyns are and hw deep they g.
32. What prblem is mentined at the beginning f the text?
A. Lack f the map.B. Nt enugh tls.
C. Ineffective charts.D. Inaccurate measurement.
33. Hw did the researchers cnduct the study?
A. By bserving the seals.B. By cmparing different data.
C. By using advanced equipment.D. By analyzing the existing maps.
34. What des the underlined wrds “their find” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. The canyn.B. The ship.C. The seals.D. The genus.
35. What can be inferred frm the text?
A. The present data is f little use.
B. Seal’s swimming pattern influences the data.
C. The cean’s surface arund Antarctica is warmer.
D. The seal can’t reach deep cean because f temperature.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家利用带有追踪器的海豹的潜水数据来进行海洋探测，了解海底山脉或峡谷的位置和深度，帮助绘制海底地图。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Humans have sailed the ceans’ surfaces fr millennia (千年), but their depths remain effectively uncharted. Only abut a quarter f the seaflr has been mapped at high reslutin. Maps f mst regins display nly apprximate depths and ften miss entire underwater muntains r canyns (峡谷).(人类已经在海洋表面航行了几千年，但海洋的深度仍然是未知的。只有大约四分之一的海底被绘制成高分辨率地图。大多数地区的地图只显示大概的深度，经常遗漏整个水下山脉或峡谷。)”可知，大约四分之一的海底被绘制成高分辨率地图，大多数地区的地图只显示大概的深度，经常遗漏整个水下山脉或峡谷；由此可知，文章一开始提到的问题是目前海底地图测量的不准确性。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Fr a new study, the researchers cmpared these dives’ lcatin and depth data with sme f the less detailed seaflr maps. They sptted places where the seals dve deeper than shuld have been pssible accrding t the maps-meaning the existing depth estimates were inaccurate.(在一项新的研究中，研究人员将这些潜水的位置和深度数据与一些不太详细的海底地图进行了比较。他们发现了海豹潜得比地图上可能更深的地方——这意味着现有的深度估计是不准确的。)”可知，研究人员将海豹潜水的位置和深度数据与一些不太详细的海底地图进行了比较，发现现有的深度估计是不准确的；由此可知，研究人员通过比较不同的数据来进行研究。故选B。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中划线部分上文“In eastern Antarctica’s Vincennes Bay, the diving seals helped the scientists find a large, hidden underwater canyn.(在南极洲东部的文森斯湾，潜水的海豹帮助科学家们找到了一个巨大的水下峡谷。)”可知，潜水的海豹帮助科学家们在南极洲东部的文森斯湾找到了一个巨大的水下峡谷；结合划线部分所在句“An Australian research ship called the RSV Nuyina later measured the canyn’s exact depth using snar, and the researchers have prpsed naming their find the Mirunga-Nuyina Canyn — hnring bth the ship and the invlved Elephant Seals, genus (动植物的属) Mirunga.(一艘名为RSV Nuyina的澳大利亚研究船后来使用声呐测量了峡谷的确切深度，研究人员提议将他们的发现命名为米隆加-努伊纳峡谷，以纪念这艘船和所涉及的象海豹属Mirunga。)”可知，研究人员把所发现的这个峡谷命名为RSV Nuyina，来纪念使用声呐测量了峡谷确切深度的研究船RSV Nuyina以及帮助找到这个水下峡谷的象海豹属Mirunga；由此可知，划线部分their find指代上文提到的由海豹帮助科学家所发现的那个“巨大的水下峡谷(a large, hidden underwater canyn)”，故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Plus, because the seals dn’t always dive t the bttm f the cean, they can reveal nly where the bttm is deeper than in existing maps — nt shallwer. McMahn ntes that scientists culd imprve n these data by using mre precise GPS trackers and analyzing the seals’ diving patterns t determine whether they have reached the seaflr r simply stpped descending.(另外，由于海豹并不总是潜入海底，它们只能显示海底比现有地图上更深的地方，而不是更浅的地方。麦克马洪指出，科学家可以通过使用更精确的GPS追踪器和分析海豹的潜水模式来改进这些数据，以确定它们是已经到达海底还是只是停止下降。)”可知，由于海豹并不总是潜入海底，它们只能显示海底比现有地图上更深的地方，而不是更浅的地方，科学家需要使用GPS追踪器和分析海豹的潜水模式来改进这些数据，以确定它们是已经到达海底还是只是停止下降；由此可知，海豹的潜水模式会影响数据。故选B。
