Fr a lng time, I kept a selectin f bks n a shelf next t my bed that I called my “heart bks”. T qualify fr a place n the shelf, a bk had t be nt nly ne I lved, but ne that mattered. There was ne bk that never made it nt that shelf, thugh I read it in high schl: Writing Dwn the Bnes by Natalie Gldberg.
I can still remember the day I bught it. It was summer and I must have been 14 r 15. Desperate t get ut f my huse, I rde my bike int twn and walked int the bkstre. I was ging thrugh the shelf f bks n writing and it caught my eye. I picked it up, read a few pages, and bught it. Then I tk it with me t a park, read the first few chapters, and pened my ntebk t write.
It’s a fairly straightfrward writing bk. Gldberg’s methd is simple: yu chse a tpic, set a timer, and write fr 10, 15, r 20 minutes withut picking up yur pen. Free writing, timed writing, writing tpics: anyne wh has taken a creative writing class may have encuntered these things. It’s nt earth-shattering. There was nthing particularly new r unusual abut the bk s I can’t say why it attracted me s much. But it changed everything. I went frm being smene wh enjyed writing t being a writer.
During my teen years and early twenties, fllwing Gldberg’s methd was at the cre f my identity. N matter where I was r what I was ding, I filled ntebks. When I eventually started writing fictin, I did the same thing. The “I” in my ntebks became smene else, but I held t the same practice.
This writing practice led me t a writing grup in Bstn. It led me t my current career. It led me, in s many ways, t myself. Becming a writer allwed me t becme s many ther things: an activist, a business wner, a farmer, a baker. . . Writing is where I fund my cnfidence. It was where I became curius abut the wrld. Frm that, everything else has fllwed.

B．By referring t a bk list abut writing.
C．By recmmendatin f Natalie Gldberg.
D．By seeking writing bks n a bkshelf.
25．What des the wrd “earth-shattering” underlined in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Remarkable.B．Useful.C．Cntrversial.D．Amusing.
26．What can we infer abut Writing Dwn the Bnes?

B．It was the first nvel the authr read.
C．It made the authr start t lve writing.
D．It is ne f the bks the authr reads mst.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇回忆性散文。文章主要叙述作者阅读《Writing Dwn the Bnes》这本书的经历，探讨写作对自己的影响，以及对自我成长、人生方向等主题的感悟。
【解析】24．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I can still remember the day I bught it. It was summer and I must have been 14 r 15. Desperate t get ut f my huse, I rde my bike int twn and walked int the bkstre. I was ging thrugh the shelf f bks n writing and it caught my eye. I picked it up, read a few pages, and bught it.(我仍然记得我买它的那天。那是一个夏天，我大概14或15岁。不顾一切地想离开我的房子，我骑着自行车进城，走进书店。我在翻阅书架上关于写作的书时，这本书引起了我的注意。我拿起它，读了几页，就买了下来。)”可知，作者是一次在书店在翻阅书架上关于写作的书时发现《Writing Dwn the Bnes》这本书的。故选D。
25．词句猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“Free writing, timed writing, writing tpics: anyne wh has taken a creative writing class may have encuntered these things.(自由写作，定时写作，写作主题：任何上过创意写作课的人都可能遇到过这些事情。)”以及划线单词下一句“There was nthing particularly new r unusual abut the bk s I can’t say why it attracted me s much.(这本书并没有什么特别新颖或不同寻常的地方，所以我也说不出为什么它如此吸引我。)”可推测，划线单词指的应该是“极棒的、引人注目的”，和空前的“nt”结合，指的是书中的方法并不是那么引人注目。选项A“Remarkable (引人注目)”；选项B“Useful (有用的)”；选项C“Cntrversial (有争议的)”；选项D“Amusing (有趣的)”。故选A。
26．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But it changed everything. I went frm being smene wh enjyed writing t being a writer.(但它改变了一切。我从一个喜欢写作的人变成了一个作家。)”可知，《Writing Dwn the Bnes》这本书改变了作者，使作者从一个喜欢写作的人变成了一个作家。故选A。
27．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This writing practice led me t a writing grup in Bstn. It led me t my current career. It led me, in s many ways, t myself. Becming a writer allwed me t becme s many ther things: an activist, a business wner, a farmer, a baker. . . Writing is where I fund my cnfidence. It was where I became curius abut the wrld. Frm that, everything else has fllwed.(这种写作练习让我加入了波士顿的一个写作小组。这让我有了现在的职业。在很多方面，它让我找回了自己。成为一名作家让我成为了许多其他的身份：一个活动家，一个企业主，一个农民，一个面包师……写作是我找到自信的地方。在那里，我开始对这个世界充满好奇。从那以后，其他一切都随之而来。)”可知，最后一段讲述的是这种写作练习使作者拥有了现在的职业，成为了一名作家，并且使作者成为了许多其他的身份：一个活动家，一个企业主，一个农民，一个面包师等。由此可推测，这一段回答了选项C“Hw has the writing practice shaped the authr?(写作练习如何塑造了作者？)”这一问题。故选C。
C
Frm rlling hills t muntain ranges, views make any rad trip memrable, but fr blin d passengers this is part f the experience they miss. Mtr cmpany Frd tries t change that. It teamed up with GTB Rm a and AedPrject—t develp a technlgy that will give thse unfrtunate passengers a way t feel nature’s beauty thrugh their car windws.
The prttype (原型) f the smart car windw has a device with an utside-facing camera. With just a press f a buttn, the system takes a picture f the current view. The clrful picture is then turned int an image with different shades f grey thrugh, LED lights, which vibrates (震动) differently. As the finger passes ver different regins f the image, its shaking mvements prvide feedback thrugh the sense f tuch t the persn using it. The smart windw als cmes with a vice assistant that uses AI t identify the scene and help the passengers get infrmatin n what they’re seeing.
“As the prttype started taking shape, we realized we were giving birth t a cmpletely new language that wuld give blind peple a new chance t visualize and experience traveling,” Federic Russ.-ne directr f GTBRma, said. “When the idea was at its first stage, we lked fr suppliers all arund the wrld t make it cme t life.” He believes the technlgy can be emplyed nt just in cars. “It culd be intrduced int schls and in stituatins fr blind peple as a tl that culd be used in multiple ways.”
The technlgy may shw up in a Frd autnmus vehicle. It’s knwn that the cmpany is testing their technlgy and future business mdel and struggling t figure ut hw an autnmus vehicle gives different passengers the details needed t get frm ne destinatin t anther. It’s unclear when this technlgy will be made available. Hwever, the idea f building smething fr the less advanced is indeed a kind and influential actin.
28．Hw des the smart car windw wrk?
A．By srting shaking mvements.B．By recrding the view with a camera.
C．By translating scenery int vibratins.D．By presenting different shades f clrs.
29．What can we knw abut the technlgy accrding t Federic Russø?
A．It will have wide applicatin.B．It will be used in schls first.
C．It will be tested arund the wrld.D．It will understand different languages.
30．What difficulty is Frd facing currently?
A．Hw t explre their future business mdel.
B．Hw the technlgy is applied t everyday life.
C．Hw t prduce autnmus cars in large numbers.
D．Hw an autnmus vehicle prvides rute infrmatin.
31．Which can be the best title fr the text?
A．AI-based Windw Adds Fun t Rad Trips
B．Frd Develps a System fr the Blind t Drive
C．Smart Windw Lets Blin d Passengers Feel Views
D．Technlgy Makes Blind Peple’s Trip Enjyable

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。福特公司联合GTB Rma和Aed Prject研发了一款智能车窗，帮助盲人感受旅途中的风景，带给盲人全新的旅行体验。
【解析】28．细节理解题。根据第二段的“The prttype (原型) f the smart car windw has a device with an utside-facing camera. With just a press f a buttn, the system takes a picture f the current view. The clrful picture is then turned int an image with different shades f grey thrugh, LED lights, which vibrates (震动) differently. As the finger passes ver different regins f the image, its shaking mvements prvide feedback thrugh the sense f tuch t the persn using it.(智能车窗的原型有一个面向外部的摄像头。只需按下一个按钮，系统就会拍下当前视图的照片。然后通过不同震动的LED灯将彩色图像转换成不同灰度的图像。当手指经过图像的不同区域时，它的抖动动作通过触觉向使用它的人提供反馈)”可知，智能车窗通过将风景转化为振动，它的抖动动作通过触觉向使用它的人提供反馈。故选C项。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段的“He believes the technlgy can be emplyed nt just in cars. “It culd be intrduced int schls and in stitutins fr blind peple as a tl that culd be used in multiple ways.”(他认为，这项技术不仅可以应用于汽车。“它可以作为一种工具引入学校和盲人机构，可以以多种方式使用。”)”可知，Federic Russ认为，这项技术不仅可以应用于汽车，还可以作为一种多用途的工具引入盲人学校和为盲人服务的机构。由此可推知，Federic Russ认为这项技术有广泛的应用价值。故选A。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s knwn that the cmpany is testing their technlgy and future business mdel and struggling t figure ut hw an autnmus vehicle gives different passengers the details needed t get frm ne destinatin t anther. It’s unclear when this technlgy will be made available.(众所周知，该公司正在测试他们的技术和未来的商业模式，并努力弄清楚自动驾驶汽车如何为不同的乘客提供从一个目的地到另一个目的地所需的细节。目前还不清楚这项技术何时能投入使用)”可知，福特目前面临的困难是如何为不同的乘客提供从一个目的地到另一个目的地所需的细节，也就是自动驾驶汽车如何提供路线信息。故选D项。
31．主旨大意题。阅读全文尤其是第一段内容可知，本文主要介绍了福特公司联合GTB Rma和Aed Prject研发了一款智能车窗，这种智能车窗使盲人有可能感受到旅途中的风景，故D项“Smart Windw Lets Blin d Passengers Feel Views(智能窗户让乘客感受美景)”作标题最为恰当。故选D项。

The rainfrests are alive with the sund f animals. Besides the pleasure f the din, it is als useful t eclgists. If yu want t measure the bidiversity f a piece f land, listening ut fr animal calls is much easier than digging abut in the undergrwth lking fr tracks. But such “bi-acustic analysis” is still time-cnsuming, and it requires an expert pair f ears.
In a paper published n Octber 17th in Nature Cmmunicatins, a grup f researchers led by Jörg Müller, an eclgist at the University f Würzburg, describe a better way: have a cmputer d the jb. Smartphne apps already exist that will identify birds, bats r mammals simply by listening t the sunds they make. Their idea was t apply the principle t cnservatin wrk.
The researchers tk recrdings frm acrss 43 sites in the Ecuadrean rainfrest. Sund recrdings were taken fur times every hur, ver tw weeks. The varius calls were identified manually by an expert, and then used t cnstruct a list f the species present. As expected, the lnger the land had been free frm agricultural activity, the greater the bidiversity it hsted.
Then it was the cmputer’s turn. The researchers fed their recrdings t artificial-intelligence mdels that had been trained, using sund samples frm elsewhere in Ecuadr, t identify 75 bird species frm their calls. “We fund that the AI tls culd identify the sunds as well as the experts,” says Dr Müller.
Of curse, nt everything in a rainfrest makes a nise. Dr Müller and his clleagues used light-traps t capture night-flying insects, and DNA analysis t identify them. Reassuringly, they fund that the diversity f nisy animals was a reliable prxy (指标) fr the diversity f the quieter nes, t.
The results may have relevance utside eclgy departments, t. Under pressure frm their custmers, firms such as L’Oreal, a make-up cmpany, and Shell, an il firm, have been spending mney n frest restratin prjects arund the wrld. Dr Müller hpes that an autmated apprach t checking n the results culd help mnitr such effrts, and give a standardized way t measure whether they are wrking as well as their spnsrs say.
32．Which f the fllwing best describes Dr Müller’s methd f bi-acustic analysis?
A．Cstly.B．Impractical.C．High-tech.D．Labr-cnsuming.
33．What can we learn frm the research f Dr Müller?
A．The species in the rainfrests have increased.
B．Agricultural activity negatively influenced the richness in species.
C．There are mre reliable sund recrdings in Ecuadrean rainfrest.
D．Trained AI mdels can identify as many kinds f sunds as experts.
34．Why did the Dr Müller and his clleagues d the survey in Paragraph 5?
A．T figure ut the species f quieter animals.
B．T cnfirm the bidiversity f the quieter animals.
C．T emphasize the bidiversity f the nisy animals.
D．T cmpare the nisy animals and the quieter nes.
35．What’s the main idea f the last paragraph?
A．The investment in bi-acustic analysis.
B．The imprtance f frest restratin prjects.
C．The standard t measure the autmated apprach.
D．The research’s impact n frest restratin prjects.
