11．Matthew Kneale is the award-winning author of fiction and non-fiction including English Passengers which won the Whitbread Book Award.His latest book is The Rome Plague Diaries published by Atlantic Books.And here are some books he recommends as they have changed his life.
Petzi auf der Robinson Insel by Carla Hansen
Illustrated by Vilh Hansen，this is one of a series of books that I loved as a child.The Petzi books described the adventures of a little bear，who wore spotted clothes and was fond of pancakes，and his exploration of the world together with his friends，a pelican，a penguin and a seal.I think they may have influenced my way of seeing the world.
Herge's adventures of Tintin
As a child I loved the Tintin books-for their adventures，their characters and their stylish illustrations.Though Herge visited almost none of the faraway places he drew，he captured them perfectly.His images，whether of Peru，Arabia，India or China，stayed with me and later，when I became a keen traveller，Tintin's destinations were the places that I most wanted to reach.
Kingsbridge trilogy by Ken Follett
Set in the city of Kingsbridge，F(xiàn)ollett brings his rich historical knowledge to this long story full of attractive characters as they navigate their way through ambition，love and conflict.The first story centres on the struggles of Prior Phillip and his architect Tom as they attempt to build the greatest gothic cathedral in the medieval world.The characters that Follett weaves are what makes this series so epic.Readers meet villains and heroes，each with their own complex strengths and weaknesses.
（1）Why does Matthew Kneale recommend the three books？
A．They won literary awards.
B．They were the latest books.
C．They have changed his life.
D．They have fine illustrations.
（2）Which book offers places Kneale desired to visit？
A．The Rome Plague Diaries.

12．Like all big cities，Paris has a traffic problem：lots of cars，lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes（廢氣）.So the city began a project to improve the situation.
Under the Velib project （'Velib' comes from vélo liberté，or 'bicycle freedom'），people can take a bicycle，use it for as long as they want，and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station.The first half-hour on the bike is free，but if you don't return it after 30 minutes，you have to pay.But it's only €1 a day or €29 a year!The bicycles are heavy （25 kg），and they are all grey and have baskets.There are about 20，000 of them in the city，and around 1，450 bicycle stations.So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!
Paris is not the first city to have a project like this.But not everybody thinks it's a great idea.One Parisian said，"These bicycles are only for short journeys.If people want to travel across the city，they won't use a bicycle—they'll still use their cars."
A city spokesman said，"The bicycle project won't solve all our traffic problems，of course.But it might help reduce air pollution.Traffic，together with factory fumes，is a big problem.There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities.But unless we do something now，there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise，so the problems in our environment will get worse.The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life，too."
（1）What can we learn about the Velib project？
A．Its bikes have no baskets.
B．Its bikes are light and colorful.
C．It aims to make traveling easier.
D．It owns more stations than the subway.
（2）If you use a Velib for half an hour，you should pay.
A．for free
B．€1
C．€29
D．€30
（3）Why do some people disagree with the Velib project？
A．The cost is rather high.
B．It's hard to find a Velib station.
C．It's not suitable for a long journey.
D．The distance between two Velib stations is long.
（4）What's the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle project？
A．Worried.
B．Positive.
C．Uncaring.
D．Doubtful.組卷：27引用：3難度：0.5 -
13．Do you play video games？If so，you aren't alone.Video games are becoming more common and are increasingly enjoyed by adults.The average age of gamers has been increasing and was estimated to be 35 in 2016.Changing technology also means that more people are exposed to video games.A new breed of casual gamers has come，who play on smart phones and tablets at spare moments throughout the day.But do they have any effect on our brains and behavior？
Over the years，the media have made various claims about video games and their effect on our health and happiness. "Games have sometimes been praised or demonized，often without real data backing up those claims.Moreover，gaming is a popular activity，so everyone seems to have strong opinions on the topic，" says Marc Palaus，who with his colleagues wanted to see if any trends had appeared from the research to date concerning how video games affect the structure and activity of our brains.They collected the results from 116 scientific studies，22 of which looked at structural changes in the brain and 100 of which looked at changes in brain functionality and behavior.
The studies show that paying video games can change how our brains perform，and even their structure.For example，playing video games affects our attention，and some studies found that gamers show improvements in several types of attention，such as sustained attention or selective attention.Video games can also be addictive，and this kind of addiction is called "Internet gaming disorder".Researchers have found functional and structural changes in the neural reward system in gaming addicts.These neural changes are basically the same as those seen in other addictive disorders.
So，what do all these brain changes mean？ "We focused on how the brain reacts to video game exposure，but these effects do not always translate to real-life changes，" says Palaus.As video games are still quite new，the research into their effects is still in its babyhood.
（1）What factor causes a new breed of casual gamers to appear？
A．Video games become more and more attractive.
B．The pressure from work becomes bigger and bigger.
C．Modern adults are usually very curious about new things.
D．The advanced technology makes games easily accessible.
（2）What does Palaus's research mainly focus on？
A．What effects video games have on gamers' brains.
B．Which brain regions are affected by video games.
C．How video games affect health and happiness.
D．Why video games influence gamers' brains.
（3）According to the research，why do some gamers get addicted to video games？
A．Because their memory systems are disturbed.
B．Because their sustained attention is improved.
C．Because their neural reward systems are changed.
D．Because the inner structure of their brain is changed.
（4）What can we learn from the last paragraph？
A．Addiction to video games will effect our daily life.
B．The influence of video games needs a further study.
C．There should be certain laws to regulate video games.
D．Video game exposure brings harm instead of benefits.組卷：6引用：3難度：0.3 -
14．For even the most sharp-eyed ornithologists （鳥(niǎo)類學(xué)家），a small bird can look much like another.But luckily，researchers have built an artificial intelligence （AI） model. "Our study provides the means of overcoming one of the greatest limitations on the study of wild birds—reliably recognizing individuals." said Andre Ferreira，lead author of the study.
Ferreira began exploring AI's potential while in South Africa，where he studied the sociable weaver，a bird which works with others to build the world's largest nest.Ferreira wanted to understand each individual's contribution to building the nest，but it was hard through direct observation because they were often hiding in trees or building parts of the nest out of sight.This experience contributed to his building the AI model，which could recognize individual birds simply from a photograph of their backs while they were busy with nest-building.
The model must be trained with thousands of labeled images in order to accurately identify individuals，but acquiring labeled photographs of birds is very difficult.Ferreira and other researchers finally overcame this challenge.They built feeders with camera traps and sensors.Most birds in the study populations already carried a tag （標(biāo)簽） similar to microchips which are put in cats and dogs.Antennae（天線）on the bird feeders read the identity of the bird from these tags and touched off the cameras.
According to Ferreira，the use of the AI model could save on expensive fieldwork and spare researchers from procedures such as catching and marking animals. "It removes the need for the human to be a data collector，so researchers can spend more time thinking about the questions instead of collecting the data，" said Ferreira.
The AI model is currently only able to re-identify individuals that have been shown to it before.The researchers are now trying to build more powerful AI models that can identify larger study groups of birds，and distinguish individuals even if the AI model have never seen them before.This would enable new individuals without tags to be recorded by the cameras and recognized by the computers.
（1）Which of the following may trouble ornithologists most when studying wild birds？
A．Tracking birds closely.
B．Locating birds quickly.
C．Identifying birds accurately.
D．Marking birds without hurting them.
（2）Why does the author mention Ferreira's work experience in South Africa？
A．To explain the significance of studying wild birds.
B．To introduce the living habits of sociable weavers.
C．To inform us of the great potential of the AI model.
D．To show the reason for developing the AI model.
（3）What does "this challenge" mentioned in Paragraph 3 refer to？
A．Attaching a tag to each bird.
B．Obtaining labeled images of birds.
C．Touching off camera traps and sensors.
D．Training AI model to identify individual birds.
（4）What can we learn about the AI model in the last paragraph？
A．It has been adopted in longer-term studies.
B．It needs improvement to identify more birds.
C．It has helped record new birds without tags.
D．It shows great potential in recognizing new birds.組卷：18引用：1難度：0.3

Plastic has polluted the countryside and been （1）threat to wildlife for decades.In the last century or so，environmentalists have urged us （2）（cut） the amount of plastic we use or recycle the plastic bags.However，with only less than 14 percent of the total amount recycled，people are still struggling with plastic pollution globally.

18． "Howie!You can't go in!Mom told us to avoid Mrs.Carrigan's house at all costs!We can't go in there，"Howie's big brother，Archie，yelled at the boy who had entered the older woman's yard upon seeing her Halloween decorations.
The little kid turned and looked at his two big brothers angrily."But she put up decorations.She wants us to come in，" Howie said，pointing at the pumpkins in the yard and the trick-or-treat sign on her doorway.
"Come out，Howie!Let's go!I think Mom thinks she's a.a witch，"his other big brother，Bobby，whispered the last part."What？Are you afraid of her？"Howie laughed，knowing that his brothers would not like that.He saw their frowns，but his words were true.They were afraid.No one in the neighborhood went into Mrs.Carigan's house or even stayed close.
The old woman was strange.She only dressed in black and never brushed her hair.She couldn't walk straight and never smiled at anyone，so people avoided her the few times she was seen outside.But Howie was not afraid.He was going to knock.The worst that could happen was being ignored or told to go away.Despite his big brothers' words，he went up the tiny steps and rang the doorbell.
"Howie!Howie!No!" his big brothers whisper- yelled at him from the sidewalk，and Howie turned and put his finger to his mouth，signaling for them to shut up.But he saw their eyes widen and their faces pale even beneath the Halloween makeup they were all wearing.Howie felt something behind him and turned slowly，not knowing what to expect.He felt the cold air he felt like ringing the bell was not a good idea.
The old woman was there，staring at him surprisedly.He saw her black clothes，and he knew precisely why everyone thought she was a witch.She looked like the ones in cartoons.But Howie squared his shoulders，raised his plastic pumpkin bucket，and said，"Trick or Treat!"
