A

What’s the very fast thing that comes to your mind when you see crows? Most people might immediately think of them as a sign of bad luck. However, these birds are amazingly smart.

Scientists have done a lot of research on the brainpower of crows and believe that they are about as smart as a 7-year-old child. Compared to their small size, their brains are very large, so they’ve got a lot going on up there!

Crows remember faces. They don’t just remember mean people and hold grudges（怨恨）. They also recognize（识别）people who have been kind to them. It was reported that a crow kept on bringing gifts to a little girl that kept on feeding it.

Crows don’t just take tools and use them; they can also make them. If they accidentally drop their tool, they’ll try to get it back. It seems that they value the effort they put into making the tool.

Crows are highly observant（善于观察的）birds. They throw nuts on the road so that cars would crush and open them. They also watch traffic lights to avoid getting hit.

Crows are excellent planners. Even more impressively, they can change their plans. For example, if they’re about to store seeds and see another bird watching, they’ll pretend to store the seeds, but they’re actually hiding those in their feathers. Then they’ll fly off to find another place.

Next time you see a crow outdoors, you’ll know that you’re looking at one of the smartest non-human creatures on earth.

11. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?

A. Crow brains help them fly high up in the sky.

B. Crow brains are not as simple as we think at all.

C. Crow brains are larger than those of other birds.

D. Crow brains need a lot of time to get well-developed.

12. Why do crows want their tool back if they drop it by accident?

A. Because the tool might cost much money.

B. Because they might enjoy collecting tools.

C. Because it might be difficult for them to make the tool.

D. Because they might be too lazy to look for another tool.

13. What will a crow do if it notices another bird seeing it storing food?

A. It will eat the food.      B. It will give up the food.

C. It will hide the food.      D. It will fight for the food.

14. What can we infer（推断）from the passage?

A. Crows might attack people who are unkind to them.

B. Crows are a common cause of road traffic accidents.

C. Crows never have a good relationship with humans.

D. Crows strictly stick to their future plans all the time.

15. What is the main purpose of the passage?

D. To introduce readers to crow intelligence.

B

When I was ten, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She would watch me coming down her street, and by the time I had biked up to her doorstep, there would be a drink waiting. I would sit and drink while she was talking.

Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, “Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning.” she would say. The first time she said that, juice went up me nose.

I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I should sit and listen and nod and smile, and maybe she would get it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. Later on, she left her husband over at the cemetery（墓地）.

I finally gave up delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we met again and she looked happy. Years before, she had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.

I live in the city now. My paperboy is a lady named Edna. Every time I feel down, she hears me out. Community isn’t so much a place as a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.

16. Why did Mrs. Stanley give the writer a drink?

A. Because she was thankful to the writer.

B. Because she knew what the writer liked.

C. Because she wanted to start a conversation.

D. Because she thought the writer was thirsty.

17. How might the writer feel when Mrs. Stanley first said she went shopping with Mr. Stanley?

A. Sad.    B. Shocked.   C. Embarrassed.  D. Annoyed.

18. What does the underlined phrase get it out of her system in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. get over her sadness      B. keep talking about her past

C. ask her old friends for help     D. move out of the neighborhood

19. What can we know about the writer from the passage?

A. He took his father’s advice because he enjoyed free drinks.

B. He gave up his part-time job because he was not well paid.

C. He considers his community as an ordinary place to live in.

D. He talks to his paperboy about his problems when he is upset.

20. What does the writer advise people in a community to do according to the passage?

A. Pay each other a visit.     B. Sharing everything with others.

C. Care about each other.     D. Express thankfulness to others.

C

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system called Ithaca to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. Ithaca is designed to help historians restore（复原）the writings and identify when and where they were written.

Many ancient populations used writings, also known as inscriptions, to record different parts of their lives. The inscriptions have been found on materials such as rock, ceramic and metal. They often contained valuable information about how ancient people lived and how they built their societies.

But oftentimes, the objects containing such inscriptions have been damaged over the centuries. This left major parts of the inscriptions missing and difficult to identify and understand. In addition, many of the inscribed objects were moved from areas where they were first created. This makes it difficult for scientists to discover when and where the writings were made.

Ithaca serves as a technological tool to help researchers repair missing inscriptions and judge the true origins（起源）of the records. The researchers, led by Alphabet’s AI company DeepMind, said it trained Ithaca on the largest collection of data containing Greek inscriptions. Feeding this data into the system is designed to help the tool use past writings to predict missing letters and words in damaged inscriptions.

“When historians work on their own, the success rate（率）for restoring damaged inscriptions is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca, the success rate jumped to 72 percent,” said Assael, a research scientist with DeepMind.

The team is now working on other versions of Ithaca trained on other ancient languages. DeepMind has launched a free tool based on the system for use by researchers, educators, museum workers and the public.

21. Why did many ancient populations use writings?

A. To record their lives.      B. To explain their origins.

C. To build their societies.     D. To test different materials.

22. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?

A. Where the inscribed objects were first created.

B. Where researchers discovered valuable information.

C. Why it is hard for scientists to work on ancient writings.

D. Why major parts of the inscriptions have been damaged.

23. How did DeepMind train Ithaca?

A. By competing with human brains.

B. By putting special data into the system.

C. By learning from other technological tools.

D. By challenging the system to difficult tasks.

24. What happened when humans and Ithaca worked together according to Assael?

A. It took a lot of time to repair missing inscriptions.

B. Restoring damaged inscriptions cost much money.

C. Repair work was much more likely to be successful.

D. All damaged writings could be restored successfully.

25. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Data Collected for Training a New AI-Based System.

B. A Free Tool Developed by DeepMind for Public Use.

C. Inscriptions Found to Solve the Century-Old Mystery.

D. AI Used to Fill in Missing Words in Ancient Writings
