Toronto Wildlife Centre's rescue team wants to match their expert skill with the latest technology to help more animals.
The rescue team wants to help animals fast and with an even higher success rate. They are looking at technology ranging from as simple as a quick-firing net gun to as complex as a remotely controlled trail camera that is connected to the network. This would immediately inform them with a photo if an animal has been successfully trapped, or has returned to a site that they are monitoring.
A compact thermal imager(热成像仪) is another piece of equipment that the rescue team is looking at to add to their tool box. The technology would allow the rescuers to see an animal more easily. This would be useful for finding animals hidden in brush, rescuing wildlife stuck inside buildings, or finding animals at night when it's too dark to see. "Say we know there's an injured animal in a backyard with many hiding spots. We don't want to storm there and scare him away. We want to be able to predict this movement and rescue him as effectively as possible and the only way we can do that is by knowing where he is," the rescue team leader, Andrew Wight said.
The team also has their eye on a camera-equipped drone (无人驾驶飞机)."We want to use drones for sky watching in situations like when we have a baby bird that came from a nest that is difficult to access. If there's no other baby in the nest, we can build a new nest, and the parents will simply find their baby and relocate to the new nest. If there's another baby in the nest, we can't separate the family and will need to return the baby to the original one. If we have a camera-equipped drone, we will easily see if there are any other babies in the original nest and plan accordingly," Andrew explained.
(1)、What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A、The remotely controlled trail camera is used to trap animals. B、The remotely controlled trail camera must have Internet access. C、The rescuers will receive a photo only when an animal is trapped. D、The rescue team aims to simplify the technologies they want to use.(2)、By what means does a compact thermal image r help rescue an animal?A、Showing the location of the animal. B、Giving off heat to warm the animal. C、Offering a way to hide the rescuers. D、Providing the rescuers with enough light at night.(3)、What would happen without a camera-equipped drone?A、The bird nest would be destroyed. B、The baby bird would be forced to leave its parents. C、The rescuers would have more trouble finishing their task. D、The parents of the bird would have to build another nest.(4)、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A、Toronto Wildlife Centre B、How to Protect Wildlife C、Fast-developing Technology D、Rescuing Animals with Technology -

Disney finally has its first young plus-size heroine, and fans across the Internet are in high spirits.
"Reflect" is a short film now on Disney about a young ballet dancer named Bianca who struggles with her body image. In the short(短片), Bianca doesn't want to but has to look at herself in the mirror, checking her posture. Always feeling depressed to find herself fatty and ugly, she almost gives up dancing ballet. Though body positivity and self-acceptance can be easier said than done, eventually, she overcome her negative feelings and dance freely.
Though the film was first released on the platform in September, many social media users are now celebrating "Reflect" as a win for representation among the young.

"I'm glad little ones (小朋友) will have this. 10/10(10 分满分评级) for Reflect!" "I don't think you all comprehend, this is my Ariel," a TikTok user said in a video, titled "Disney, you really got me in my feelings."
Making the film from the perspective of a dancer, director Hillary Bradfield explained, felt natural. "When people watch the short, I hope that they can feel more positively about themselves and how they look, and feel okay about the tough parts of their journey," Bradfield said.
(1)、Which of the following best describes Bianca?A、Sensitive. B、Ambitious. C、Warm-hearted. D、Energetic.(2)、Why were the online comments of "Reflect" mentioned?A、To tell the truth of the short. B、To show their favor to" Reflect". C、To give an explanation of "Reflect". D、To make a comparison with other movies.(3)、What can we learn from the last paragraph?A、Practice makes perfect.

15、 第二节 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Edward and Stephen were both eighteen years old. They were so together in friendship that they felt themselves to be brothers. They had known each other since childhood, growing up in the same block in Liverpool.
Edward was fair and lean, while Stephen was dark and short. Edward's brown hair was always falling over his eyes, while Stephen wore his black hair in a natural style.
Each youngster had a dream of someday becoming champion of the world. Whenever they had time, the boys worked out at the Fencing (击剑) Club. Early morning sunrises would find them running along the Mersey River, wrapped in sweatshirts, with short towels around their necks.
Edward and Stephen studied hard and dreamt positively. Between them, they had a notebook filled with torn tickets of every fencing match they had ever attended. They each had taken part in many elimination bouts(淘汰赛) and had won many gold medals. The difference was in their style.
As fencers, Edward's lean form and long reach made him better in attack, while Stephen's short and muscular frame made him speed y in movement. Whenever they had met in the piste (击剑台), it had always been intense and competitive.
After a series of elimination bouts, they were informed that they were to meet each other in the finals next month —the winner to represent the Club in the Championship Tournament.
Fencing was like any other profession. The two boys knew friendship had nothing to do with it. But how would the competition affect their relationship? Everyday they continued to run together along the Mersey River. However, while joking with each other, they both sensed an invisible wall rising between them.
The day before the finals, they met as usual for their daily workout. After a mile or so, Stephen stopped.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
"I think we both got something to say to each other." Stephen said.
As the two went onto the piste, the audience held their breath.

Art Appreciation
Art appreciation is an often overlooked skill. It's more than simply looking at a piece of art and judging it based on what we see. It requires us to look deeper, beyond the surface into the artist's intention. The following tips would help you achieve it.
The first step is to prepare yourself mentally. Before you begin viewing any artwork, take moments to clear your mind of what a piece you think should look like. That's because an artist can present a unique visual experience by combining line, shape, form, color and space creatively.
Besides, examine the artwork closely. Take note of its elements mentioned above. Consider how these elements work together to convey meaning or emotion in the piece. Notice how the work makes you feel. What can I see? What is the artwork saying? What feelings does it arouse in me?
Information about the artist and when the artwork was created can help you uncover the deeper symbolism present in the work that may not be immediately evident. Art is often used as a tool for social change. To appreciate art, it's important to understand the context where it was created. The context behind a piece can be found through research and analysis.
Last but not least, sharing opinions on art also helps. Try discussing your thoughts on artwork with friends or family who may have different opinions. Taking the diverse understanding into consideration, you can approach viewing art work from different viewpoints. As a result, you can gain a new appreciation every time you look at it.
A. Relevant research counts as well.
B. Engage all your senses and ask yourself questions.
C. The process can bring you a fun and educational trip.
D. Leave your feelings aside and check out the questions.
E. To sum up, communication can also do good to your art appreciation.
F. With the previous ideas, you can get well prepared for the appreciation.
G. This will help you open up to different perspectives when exploring the work.

20、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Amblyopia is the most common cause of vision loss in children. In all cases of amblyopia, there's a stronger eye and a weaker eye, and it's winner-take-all in the cortex (大脑皮层). The cortex learns to ignore the signal from the weaker eye. By ignoring the weaker eye, the brain doesn't fuse (融合) images from both eyes. As a result, people with amblyopia can have trouble seeing in 3D.
In an attempt to solve this problem, doctors start treating patients with amblyopia at a young age, while their brain pathways are still developing. The children, usually under 7 years old, are often told to wear an eye patch over their strong eye to force the brain to rely on the weaker. But whenever the eye pa tch is removed, the competition can start over. For lasting improvement, new treatments need to teach the brain to stop suppressing(抑制) key visual cues coming from the weaker eye, says neuroscientist Dennis Levi of the University of California.
Now, several research teams are taking a new way that aims to get the brain to make better use of the information coming from both eyes. Several companies are working on treatment s based on this new angle. One is called Luminopia.
Luminopia's therapy involves having children watch videos through a virtual reality headset. As the children watch, the headset blocks out certain parts of the display for each eye, so the patients actually have to combine input from the two images to get the full video.
The company conducted a trial showing that children with amblyopia begin to see better on eye chart assessments after three months of one-hour sessions done six days a week. But they have yet to measure improvements in long-term effectiveness. It is believed that if people with amblyopia don't learn to fuse signals from both eyes from a young age, they never will. So some scientists think attempting to treat adults, whose brains have suppressed signals from their weak eye for decades, is a lost cause.
(1)、Why does a person with amblyopia have trouble seeing in 3D?A、His brain is unable to receive images. B、His weaker eye fails to receive signals. C、His stronger eye can't send signals to the brain. D、His cortex overlooks signals from the weaker eye.(2)、Which of the following best describes the effect of an eye patch?A、Temporary. B、Ineffective. C、Wonderful. D、Comprehensive.(3)、What is the working principle of Luminopia's therapy?A、Forcing the brain to rely on the weaker eye. B、Activating the weak eye to get the full video. C、Improving the situations with eye chart assessments. D、Blocking out the images received from the stronger eye.(4)、What can we learn about Luminopia's therapy from the last paragraph?A、It has an instant effect. B、Adults are its main targets. C、It has long-term effectiveness. D、More trials need to be conducted.
