Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives (蜂窝)—either recorded or real—may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer’s crops.
In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.
Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.
From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.
Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn’t tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.
24. We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of .
A.angry bees B. some crops
C. video cameras D. loud noises
25. As mentioned in the passage, Lucy .
A. works by herself in Africa
B. has stopped elephants eating crops
C.needs to test more elephant groups
D. has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms

A. To record the sound of bees.
B. To make a video of elephants.
C. To see if elephants would run away.
D. To find out more about the behavior of bees.
27. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Young elephants ignore African honeybees.
B. Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.
C. Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.
D. Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.

Coaches have always taken into account the condition of players when scheduling training sessions. Now with the help of artificial intelligence, they can calculate more precisely the probability that individual athletes will get injured during the next match, the next week or the next month.
“We follow a team for an entire season, recording GPS data during training and matches, "Rossi explains. He then uses machine learning to try to detect patterns. “This gives us the probability that a player will get injured in the next days or next weeks. ”
These data reveal an athlete's workload-how often they train and how intensely. Just enough training can pave the way to medals, out too much puts pressure on the body and can lead to injuries.
Sport is gradually entering a new era, in which artificial intelligence might act as an assistant coach. Algorithms （算法）could enable a teenager to train smarter and avoid a career-ending injury. or help a professional athlete to compete for a few years longer. But the technology's success depends, in part, on the ability of data scientists to convince coaches to include data in their decision-process.
The teams that McHugh has worked with have seen a reduction in injuries of between 5% and 40%. Yet not every coach is happy to join forces with AI. “Coaches sometimes don't feel good, because it seems like trying to substitute the human element, " Rossi says. But in reality, data is only a tool. “The interpretation of the results, the change of the training load, is done by coaches, " he says.
McHugh agrees that people have to make the final call. “Once the injury probability for an athlete on a given day is output from an injury model. the athlete or coach must then decide whether the predicted risk is acceptable or not, usually depending on the context,” he says. There might be a big game that day, and the player might be especially important to the team. “Even though the predicted injury probability may be as high as 70%, the coach may be willing to take that chance,” he says.
28. What can be learned about GPS data?
A. GPS data provide useful information for training athletes.
B. GPS data are collected during the final match.
C. GPS data use machine learning to detect patterns.
D. GPS data decide athletes' workload.
29. What makes the technology's success possible according to the text?
A. Athletes' training time.
B. Data accuracy.
C. Scientists' judgment.
D. Coaches' acceptance.
30. What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?
A. It is up to people to make the final decision.
B. The coach tends to ignore the risk.
C. AI in sports has a bright future.
D. It is always wise to follow the advice of AI.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Replacing coaches with AI
B. Embracing technology readily
C. Training athletes intensely
D. Predicting Injuries with an algorithm
D
Have you ever been in mid-conversation with someone, when you look over and find them standing in the same position as you or holding the same facial expression? It may seem like they have consciously (有意识地) copied you, but it is much more likely that it is the chameleon(变色龙) effect at play.
The chameleon effect is the unconscious imitation (模仿) of another person's gestures or behaviour Just as a chameleon attempts to match any environment's colours, people acquire the behaviour of others to bring them closer together and help make their interactions smooth.
The chameleon effect was confirmed in an experiment by psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand in 1999. The first part of their experiment included 78 people, who each spoke with an experimenter. During the test, Bargh and Chartrand studied whether participants would copy the actions of someone they hadn't met before, like moving the foot and touching the face. The second part measured the impact that copying someone has on the person being imitated.
In the first stage, participants increased their face touching by 20% and their foot movement by 50% while in conversation about a photograph with the experimenter. The individuals weren’t aware of what they were being studied for, and the photograph was used to catch their attention to ensure unconscious acts. The second stage involved half of the participants being copied, and then rating the likeability of the experimenter. The results showed that those who were imitated scored the experimenter higher. It has shown that when someone copies our behaviour, we develop more positive feelings about them. These interactions could be a person unconsciously willing to be liked, and forming a moment of connection.
The main reasons behind humans’ imitation are positive. However, when people carry this chameleon effect to the extreme, they can lose their sense of self. Those who change their entire personalities in different groups often go undetected. But more common signs of the chameleon effect are easier to notice. Next time you are in a social gathering, take a look around and you might just see some chameleons for yourself.
32.Why do people acquire others' behavior?
A. To match the environment's colour. B. To attract others' attention.
C. To establish a connection with others. D. To adapt to the surroundings
33.How did the experimenter guarantee participants’ unconscious behaviors?
A. By keeping an eye on their actions.
B. By directing their attention to a photo.
C. By telling them the purpose of the study
D. By evaluating the impacts of imitation.
34.What conclusion can be drawn from the experiment?
A. The copied movements help people to feel relaxed.
B. Too much of the chameleon effect can be beneficial.
C. People imitating others are not easy to be detected.
D. People tend to like those who imitate their behavior.
35. Which of the following shows the chameleon effect according to the passage?
A. Students adopt teachers’ accents for fun after class.
B. People change their habits to please others on purpose.
C.A husband and his wife share similar behaviors over time.
D.A comedian copies a celebrity vividly on stage.

I have been in the teaching profession for more than thirty years, and one of the best teachers I have ever known is Mr. Rowe. I was lucky enough to teach fourth grade together with him.
Mr. Rowe had endless patience and understanding and I learned so much from watching him. He could perform miracles, like the one he performed with Steven, one of the unhappiest kids I had ever seen. Steven couldn't stand school. He didn't like being picked last for kickball. He didn't like the kids who raised their hands and knew all the answers, and most importantly, he didn't like himself.
The first day he walked into Mr. Rowe's classroom, he ignored the other students, looking angry and annoyed, and slid into his chair, knocking a couple of textbooks onto the floor.
Mr. Rowe walked over to him and touched Steven's shoulder, but Steven pulled away. Nevertheless, Mr. Rowe welcomed him: "Hi, Steven. I'm happy you are in my class. We are gonna have a great year." Steven looked around the room as if Mr. Rowe must be mistaken. No teacher in his right mind would want Steven to be part of his classroom.
So, while Mr. Rowe seemed cheerful and relaxed that day of school, it seemed like Steven was angry and confused.
That day after classes, Mr. Rowe chose Steven to pitch (投球) the kickball at recess. "Hey, Steven," Mr. Rowe commented, "You are good at pitching. Let me show you my secret trick." Mr. Rowe taught Steven one of the tricks that not a single kid could perform. Steven learned fast and did quite well! Everyone cheered for him!
After the kickball, Steven sat as close to Mr. Rowe in classes as he could. When a question was asked, Steven lit up; when he knew the answer, he raised his hand; when he answered the question, his voice shook. However, he got the answer right! He said, with Mr. Rowe, his days of the fourth grade promised wonderful.
That is not to say that every day went smoothly, but it was obvious that Steven grew to love Mr. Rowe more and more with each passing day.
注意: 1）所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2） 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Time passed quickly that year, and before we all knew it, it was the last day of school.
Paragraph 2: Many years later, Mr. Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom, dressed in the army uniform.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Time passed quickly that year, and before we all knew it, it was the last day of school. The school yard was teeming with students eager to be back to freedom, each waiting, with controlled excitement, to board the school bus that parked in front of the school gate. We teachers filled the sidewalk, waving goodbye to the kids as the bus pulled out with their horns honking. But just at that moment, I saw a tiny figure came running back towards us! It was Steven in floods of tears! He threw himself into Mr. Rowe’s arms, murmuring in a choked voice, “I…I don’t want to leave you !” With red-rimmed eyes, Mr. Rowe hugged and comforted him, “I will miss you, too, you are such a great boy!”
Many years later, Mr. Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom, dressed in the army uniform. The young man stood tall and proud, grinning like a child. It was Steven! Mr. Rowe and I couldn’t believe our eyes. He saluted and hugged Mr. Rowe tightly! “I have come back to school today just to say thanks to you!” his voice trembling. I saw something shining in Mr. Rowe’s eyes. It was such a wonderful moment that I was even moved to tears. Yes, Mr. Rowe did work wonders, so he deserved simple thanks from his former students like Steve. He also deserved thanks from me, because he was always there guiding me to be a better teacher.

Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives (蜂窝)—either recorded or real—may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer’s crops.
In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.
Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.
From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.
Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn’t tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.
24. We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of .
A.angry bees B. some crops
C. video cameras D. loud noises
25. As mentioned in the passage, Lucy .
A. works by herself in Africa
B. has stopped elephants eating crops
C.needs to test more elephant groups
D. has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms
26. Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?
A. To record the sound of bees.
B. To make a video of elephants.
C. To see if elephants would run away.
D. To find out more about the behavior of bees.
27. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Young elephants ignore African honeybees.
B. Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.
C. Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.
D. Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.

Coaches have always taken into account the condition of players when scheduling training sessions. Now with the help of artificial intelligence, they can calculate more precisely the probability that individual athletes will get injured during the next match, the next week or the next month.
“We follow a team for an entire season, recording GPS data during training and matches, "Rossi explains. He then uses machine learning to try to detect patterns. “This gives us the probability that a player will get injured in the next days or next weeks. ”
These data reveal an athlete's workload-how often they train and how intensely. Just enough training can pave the way to medals, out too much puts pressure on the body and can lead to injuries.
Sport is gradually entering a new era, in which artificial intelligence might act as an assistant coach. Algorithms （算法）could enable a teenager to train smarter and avoid a career-ending injury. or help a professional athlete to compete for a few years longer. But the technology's success depends, in part, on the ability of data scientists to convince coaches to include data in their decision-process.
The teams that McHugh has worked with have seen a reduction in injuries of between 5% and 40%. Yet not every coach is happy to join forces with AI. “Coaches sometimes don't feel good, because it seems like trying to substitute the human element, " Rossi says. But in reality, data is only a tool. “The interpretation of the results, the change of the training load, is done by coaches, " he says.
McHugh agrees that people have to make the final call. “Once the injury probability for an athlete on a given day is output from an injury model. the athlete or coach must then decide whether the predicted risk is acceptable or not, usually depending on the context,” he says. There might be a big game that day, and the player might be especially important to the team. “Even though the predicted injury probability may be as high as 70%, the coach may be willing to take that chance,” he says.
28. What can be learned about GPS data?
A. GPS data provide useful information for training athletes.
B. GPS data are collected during the final match.
C. GPS data use machine learning to detect patterns.
D. GPS data decide athletes' workload.
29. What makes the technology's success possible according to the text?
A. Athletes' training time.
B. Data accuracy.
C. Scientists' judgment.
D. Coaches' acceptance.
30. What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?
A. It is up to people to make the final decision.
B. The coach tends to ignore the risk.
C. AI in sports has a bright future.
D. It is always wise to follow the advice of AI.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Replacing coaches with AI
B. Embracing technology readily
C. Training athletes intensely
D. Predicting Injuries with an algorithm

Have you ever been in mid-conversation with someone, when you look over and find them standing in the same position as you or holding the same facial expression? It may seem like they have consciously (有意识地) copied you, but it is much more likely that it is the chameleon(变色龙) effect at play.
The chameleon effect is the unconscious imitation (模仿) of another person's gestures or behaviour Just as a chameleon attempts to match any environment's colours, people acquire the behaviour of others to bring them closer together and help make their interactions smooth.
The chameleon effect was confirmed in an experiment by psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand in 1999. The first part of their experiment included 78 people, who each spoke with an experimenter. During the test, Bargh and Chartrand studied whether participants would copy the actions of someone they hadn't met before, like moving the foot and touching the face. The second part measured the impact that copying someone has on the person being imitated.
In the first stage, participants increased their face touching by 20% and their foot movement by 50% while in conversation about a photograph with the experimenter. The individuals weren’t aware of what they were being studied for, and the photograph was used to catch their attention to ensure unconscious acts. The second stage involved half of the participants being copied, and then rating the likeability of the experimenter. The results showed that those who were imitated scored the experimenter higher. It has shown that when someone copies our behaviour, we develop more positive feelings about them. These interactions could be a person unconsciously willing to be liked, and forming a moment of connection.
The main reasons behind humans’ imitation are positive. However, when people carry this chameleon effect to the extreme, they can lose their sense of self. Those who change their entire personalities in different groups often go undetected. But more common signs of the chameleon effect are easier to notice. Next time you are in a social gathering, take a look around and you might just see some chameleons for yourself.
32.Why do people acquire others' behavior?
A. To match the environment's colour. B. To attract others' attention.
C. To establish a connection with others. D. To adapt to the surroundings
33.How did the experimenter guarantee participants’ unconscious behaviors?
A. By keeping an eye on their actions.
B. By directing their attention to a photo.
C. By telling them the purpose of the study
D. By evaluating the impacts of imitation.
34.What conclusion can be drawn from the experiment?
A. The copied movements help people to feel relaxed.
B. Too much of the chameleon effect can be beneficial.
C. People imitating others are not easy to be detected.
D. People tend to like those who imitate their behavior.
35. Which of the following shows the chameleon effect according to the passage?
A. Students adopt teachers’ accents for fun after class.
B. People change their habits to please others on purpose.
C.A husband and his wife share similar behaviors over time.
D.A comedian copies a celebrity vividly on stage.

I have been in the teaching profession for more than thirty years, and one of the best teachers I have ever known is Mr. Rowe. I was lucky enough to teach fourth grade together with him.
Mr. Rowe had endless patience and understanding and I learned so much from watching him. He could perform miracles, like the one he performed with Steven, one of the unhappiest kids I had ever seen. Steven couldn't stand school. He didn't like being picked last for kickball. He didn't like the kids who raised their hands and knew all the answers, and most importantly, he didn't like himself.
The first day he walked into Mr. Rowe's classroom, he ignored the other students, looking angry and annoyed, and slid into his chair, knocking a couple of textbooks onto the floor.
Mr. Rowe walked over to him and touched Steven's shoulder, but Steven pulled away. Nevertheless, Mr. Rowe welcomed him: "Hi, Steven. I'm happy you are in my class. We are gonna have a great year." Steven looked around the room as if Mr. Rowe must be mistaken. No teacher in his right mind would want Steven to be part of his classroom.
So, while Mr. Rowe seemed cheerful and relaxed that day of school, it seemed like Steven was angry and confused.
That day after classes, Mr. Rowe chose Steven to pitch (投球) the kickball at recess. "Hey, Steven," Mr. Rowe commented, "You are good at pitching. Let me show you my secret trick." Mr. Rowe taught Steven one of the tricks that not a single kid could perform. Steven learned fast and did quite well! Everyone cheered for him!
After the kickball, Steven sat as close to Mr. Rowe in classes as he could. When a question was asked, Steven lit up; when he knew the answer, he raised his hand; when he answered the question, his voice shook. However, he got the answer right! He said, with Mr. Rowe, his days of the fourth grade promised wonderful.
That is not to say that every day went smoothly, but it was obvious that Steven grew to love Mr. Rowe more and more with each passing day.
注意: 1）所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2） 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Time passed quickly that year, and before we all knew it, it was the last day of school.
Paragraph 2: Many years later, Mr. Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom, dressed in the army uniform.

【36题详解】
根据前文“Rabbits are a courageous little species able to live on every continent, except Antarctica. Alongside the beginning of 2023, the new Year of the Rabbit has started! ”（兔子是一个勇敢的小物种，能够生活在除了南极洲以外的每一个大陆上。伴随着2023年的开始，新的兔年已经开始了！）讲述了兔子生活栖息地的普遍性，同时2023年也是兔年。下文中黑体字讲述了中西方文化中兔子的形象及蕴含的意义。所以空处应作为总括句，讲述此时就是最好的时机来谈论不同文化中的兔子。选项F.“也许现在是在不同文化中讨论这种可爱动物的最佳时机”，符合题意，故选F。

Dear Peter,
Our school photography club is going to hold an International High School Student Photography Show. The theme of the show is environmental protection. It will start from June 15th and last for three weeks. Any student who is interested is welcome to participate. I know you take good pictures and you’ve always wanted to do something for environmental protection. I remember you should me some photos on that theme the last time you visited our school. This is surely a good change for more people to see them. If you want to join, you can send your photos to intlphotoshow@gmschool.com.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
Time passed quickly that year, and before we all knew it, it was the last day of school. The school yard was teeming with students eager to be back to freedom, each waiting, with controlled excitement, to board the school bus that parked in front of the school gate. We teachers filled the sidewalk, waving goodbye to the kids as the bus pulled out with their horns honking. But just at that moment, I saw a tiny figure came running back towards us! It was Steven in floods of tears! He threw himself into Mr. Rowe’s arms, murmuring in a choked voice, “I…I don’t want to leave you !” With red-rimmed eyes, Mr. Rowe hugged and comforted him, “I will miss you, too, you are such a great boy!”
Many years later, Mr. Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom, dressed in the army uniform. The young man stood tall and proud, grinning like a child. It was Steven! Mr. Rowe and I couldn’t believe our eyes. He saluted and hugged Mr. Rowe tightly! “I have come back to school today just to say thanks to you!” his voice trembling. I saw something shining in Mr. Rowe’s eyes. It was such a wonderful moment that I was even moved to tears. Yes, Mr. Rowe did work wonders, so he deserved simple thanks from his former students like Steve. He also deserved thanks from me, because he was always there guiding me to be a better teacher.
