Once plentiful arund the wrld, the number f peregrine falcns (游隼) began t fall after Wrld War II with the intrductin f pesticides like dieldrin, aldrin and DDT. Dieldrin and aldrin killed the birds directly, while DDT weakened chicks eggshells, lwering their chances f survival. In the US, the falcns’ number reached a lw pint f 324 pairs in 1974 - a sharp decline frm mre than 3,800 pairs befre the mid-20th century.
Peregrine falcns were placed n the endangered species list in 1970. The US Envirnmental Prtectin Agency banned (禁止) the use f DDT in 1972. Tw years later, the agency banned mst use f aldrin and dieldrin, with an exceptin fr white ant cntrl.
Befre lng, the bans wrked. Fur climbers made a surprising discvery while climbing Ysemite’s EI Capitan in 1978: an active peregrine falcn nest, which had nt been seen in the area fr decades. They reprted their find t the Santa Cruz Predatry Bird Research Grup, wh quickly tk actin. They came up with an ambitius plan and asked the climbers if they wanted t help. At their request, the climbers nce again climbed EI Capitan, but this time, they cllected samples f eggs frm the nest and brught them back dwn fr testing. The eggs were delicate and thin, s researchers decided t incubate (孵化) them in a lab, and then rck climbers risked their lives returning the chicks t the nest.
Peregrine falcns were remved frm the endangered species list in 1999. As many as 40,000 individuals may nw be flying freely in Nrth America. Withut the cperatin f climbers, peregrine falcns might still be struggling t gain a fthld in Ysemite. Instead, the birds’ recvery is a rare success stry where humans priritized the needs f ther species abve their wn.
28. What caused the drp in the number f peregrine falcns?
A. Wrld War II.B. The chemicals.
C. City develpment.D. Air pllutin.
29. Hw did the climbers help the Bird Research Grup?
A. They carried the eggs back fr testing.B. They reprted their finding t peple.
C. They fund the nest in the EI Capitan.D. They risked their lives prtecting eggs.
30. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了游隼因化学物质减少，后因人类保护措施数量恢复的变化历程。
【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Once plentiful arund the wrld, the number f peregrine falcns (游隼) began t fall after Wrld War II with the intrductin f pesticides like dieldrin, aldrin and DDT. Dieldrin and aldrin killed the birds directly, while DDT weakened chicks eggshells, lwering their chances f survival. (曾经在世界各地大量繁殖的游隼，在第二次世界大战后，随着狄氏剂、艾氏剂和滴滴涕等杀虫剂的使用，游隼的数量开始下降。)”可知二战后随着狄氏剂、艾氏剂和滴滴涕等农药的使用，游隼数量开始下降，这些农药都属于化学物质，所以是化学物质导致其数量下降，故选B。
【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“At their request, the climbers nce again climbed EI Capitan, but this time, they cllected samples f eggs frm the nest and brught them back dwn fr testing. (在他们的要求下，登山者们再次爬上了EI Capitan，但这一次，他们从巢中收集了卵的样本，并把它们带回了地面进行测试。)” 可知登山者从巢中收集了卵的样本并带回进行测试，故选A。
【30题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Peregrine falcns were remved frm the endangered species list in 1999. As many as 40,000 individuals may nw be flying freely in Nrth America. (游隼于1999年从濒危物种名单中删除。现在可能有多达4万个在北美自由飞行。)”可知游隼从濒危物种名单中移除，说明人们的努力使游隼成功恢复数量，故选C。
【31题详解】推理判断题。通读全文，尤其最后一段“Peregrine falcns were remved frm the endangered species list in 1999. As many as 40,000 individuals may nw be flying freely in Nrth America. Withut the cperatin f climbers, peregrine falcns might still be struggling t gain a fthld in Ysemite. Instead, the birds’ recvery is a rare success stry where humans priritized the needs f ther species abve their wn. (游隼于1999年从濒危物种名单中删除。现在可能有多达4万人在北美自由飞行。如果没有攀登者的合作，游隼可能还在挣扎着在优胜美地站稳脚跟。相反，鸟类的恢复是一个罕见的成功故事，人类优先考虑其他物种的需求而不是自己的需求。)” 可知文章主要讲述了游隼数量因化学物质减少，后因人类保护措施数量恢复的过程，是关于自然生物的内容，故推断最可能出现在自然杂志上，故选D。

Ggle’s DeepMind can cntrl a rbtic arm t beat rdinary table tennis players, accrding t a new study. But Fan Zhendng, the 2024 gld medalist fr individual and team men’s table tennis, can rest easy: The AI-pwered rbt culd nly beat players at a medium level, and nly n certain ccasins, which was published but has nt been reviewed by experts in this field.
Rbts can nw ck and clean, but they struggle t quickly respnd t real-wrld envirnmental infrmatin. Achieving human-level perfrmance in terms f accuracy (准确性), speed and generality still remains a great challenge in many fields.
T vercme this limitatin, the researchers cmbined an industrial rbt arm with a custmized versin f DeepMind’s pwerful learning algrithms (算法). DeepMind uses neural netwrks t gradually learn new infrmatin. The system was als trained t master specific aspects f the game — fr example, the rules, the techniques f playing — with real-wrld and simulated (模拟的) data in algrithms.
As the AI learned, the researchers cllected data n its strengths, weaknesses and limitatins. Then, they fed this infrmatin back t the AI prgram, thus giving DeepMind a realistic impressin f its abilities. The system picked which skills r plans t use in the mment, cnsidering its cmpetitrs’ strengths and weaknesses, just like a human table-tennis player might. Mst f the human players seemed t like playing against the system. They agreed that playing with the rbt was fun and attractive.
The new apprach culd be useful fr a wide range f applicatins that call fr quick respnses in changing physical envirnments, as the researchers said.
32. What can we knw frm paragraph 1?
A. The rbt can beat advanced human table tennis players.
B. The finding has been published and examined by experts.
C. Fan Zhendng can have a gd rest because f the inventin.
D. The level f players matters in the cmpetitin with the rbt.
33. Hw did the researchers imprve the system?
A. By adding mre game rules t the system.
B. By replacing the cntrl part with a new ne.
C. By changing the rbtic arm int a new versin.
D. By cmbining the rbtic arm with algrithms and data.
34. What’s the mst players’ attitude t this new apprach?
A. Unclear.B. Dubtful.C. Psitive.D. Discntent.
35. Which culd be a practical applicatin f the new apprach?
A. Making rbts clean the flr in an empty bedrm.
B. Guiding rbts t serve fd in an rderly restaurant.
C. Directing rbts t rescue peple in a burning building.
D. Using rbts t water plants in a well-rganized garden.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. C

【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“T vercme this limitatin, the researchers cmbined an industrial rbt arm with a custmized versin f DeepMind’s pwerful learning algrithms (算法).(为了克服这一限制，研究人员将工业机械臂与DeepMind强大学习算法的定制版本结合起来)”可知，研究人员将机械臂与算法和数据相结合来改进这个系统。故选D。
【34题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Mst f the human players seemed t like playing against the system. They agreed that playing with the rbt was fun and attractive.(大多数人类玩家似乎都喜欢与系统对抗。他们一致认为和机器人一起玩既有趣又有吸引力)”可知，大多数玩家对这种新方法的态度是积极的。故选C。
【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“The new apprach culd be useful fr a wide range f applicatins that call fr quick respnses in changing physical envirnments, as the researchers said.(研究人员说，这种新方法可以用于需要在不断变化的物理环境中快速反应的广泛应用)”可知，指挥机器人在燃烧的建筑物中营救人员是新方法的实际应用。故选C。

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了微短剧在中国的发展及其影响。
【56题详解】考查名词。句意：由于互联网的普及，中国的娱乐业正在迅速发展。根据空前的定冠词 “the” 可知，此处应填名词，“ppular”的名词形式是“ppularity”，“due t the ppularity f...”表示“由于……的流行”。故填ppularity。
【57题详解】考查动词时态和语态。句意：近年来，年轻一代已经习惯于在短时间内阅读短篇小说，无论是在日常通勤期间还是在悠闲的晚餐期间。根据时间状语“in recent years”，句子要用现在完成时，其结构为 “have/has + 过去分词”，主语“Yunger generatins”是复数，所以用“have becme”。故填have becme。
【58题详解】考查定语从句。句意：最新统计数据显示，去年国内微剧市场规模达到373.9亿元（53.1亿美元），比前一年大幅增长267.65%。分析句子结构可知，此处是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是“the dmestic market size f micr-dramas reached 37.39 billin yuan ($5.31 billin) last year”这件事，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，所以用“which”引导。故填which。
【59题详解】考查副词。句意：作为中国移动互联网生态系统的产物，微剧通常的情节从几十秒到15分钟不等。此处修饰动词“feature”，应该用副词形式，“typical”的副词是“typically”，表示 “通常；一般地”。故填typically。
【60题详解】考查固定短语。句意：作为中国移动互联网生态系统的产物，微剧通常的情节从几十秒到15分钟不等。“range ”是固定短语，意为“从…… 到……不等”。故填t。

【62题详解】考查动词不定式。句意：此外，微剧是向海外推广中国故事和文化的一种新方式，目前北美是全球最大的微剧消费市场。“a way t d sth.”是固定搭配，意为“做某事的一种方式”，所以此处用动词不定式“t prmte”作后置定语，修饰“way”。故填t prmte。
【63题详解】考查形容词最高级。句意：此外，微剧是向海外推广中国故事和文化的一种新方式，目前北美是全球最大的微剧消费市场。根据空前的“the”以及语境可知，此处表示“最大的”，要用 “large”的最高级形式“largest”，“the largest freign market”表示“最大的海外市场”。故填largest。
【64题详解】考查冠词。句意：此外，微剧是向海外推广中国故事和文化的一种新方式，目前北美是全球最大的微剧消费市场。“in the whle wrld”是固定短语，意为“在全世界”，所以此处填 “the”。故填the。
【65题详解】考查动词时态和语态。句意：2024年，美国和加拿大制作了数千部微剧，主题从原创奇幻故事到现实都市爱情，不一而足。根据时间状语“in 2024” 可知，句子描述过去发生的事情，要用一般过去时；“Thusands f micr-dramas”和“prduce”之间是被动关系，即“微短剧被制作”，所以要用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为“was/were +过去分词”，主语 “Thusands f micr-dramas”是复数，所以用“were prduced”。故填were prduced。
