‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎ 2020年莆田质检(5月)英语试题 第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)‎ 第一节(共 15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)‎ 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的ABC和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。‎ ‎ A ‎ The Houston Museum of Natural Science ‎ Founded in 1909, the Houston Museum of Natural Science (HMNS) has always been one of the most heavily attended museums in the United States.

People who enjoy quiet have better visit it on weekday afternoon.‎ ‎ B It’s not every day that you see pigeons(鸽子)with cowboy hats on their tiny heads walking or flying around, unless you live in Las Vegas, where cowboy-hat-wearing pigeons are actually a thing people have been constantly taking about these days.‎ It all started on December 5, when a Las Vegas citizen named Bobby Lee noticed two funny-looking birds walking near a dustbin. The pigeons drew his attention because they were wearing tiny cowboy hats-one red and one grey -so he took out his smartphone and started filming them. Later, he uploaded the video online, where is quickly spread. The next day, everyone was talking about Las Vegas’ cowboy-hat-wearing pigeons, and Lee was getting phone calls from agencies trying to license his video.‎ It was only a matter of time before news outlets picked up the story and reported on the mysterious pigeon cowboys spotted around Las Vegas. The only link anyone could think of was the Wrangler National Rodeo Finals that were taking place in town at the time, but the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, which organized the event, denied any involvement.‎ While some netizens just found the idea cute and jumped at the opportunity to catch the pigeons on camera if they spotted them around Vegas, others expressed concern about the birds’ well-being. They even mentioned animal cruelty.‎ Hillman, the founder of local pigeon rescue Lofty Hopes, said that her organization was trying to track down the birds and remove their hats, but trapping them with food has proven very difficult so far. That’s because the two known cowboy-hat-wearing pigeons have become very popular around Las Vegas, and people are constantly throwing them much food.‎ ‎ “When you see them today, you could see some loose feathers in the glue around the hat, and it’s surely a concern,” Hillman said, adding that she believed the hats had been glued on with a strong adhesive(粘合剂).‎ ‎24. What has be a hot topic in Las Vegas recently?‎ A. The return of cowboy hats. B. Pigeons approaching people. ‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ C. Pigeons wearing cowboy hats. D. The hobby of watching pigeons. ‎ ‎25. What made Bobby Lee film the two pigeons with his smartphone?‎ A Their unusual decorations. B. Their unique feather colors.‎ C Their great popularity online. D. Their strange way of walking. ‎ ‎26. What was netizens ‘s attitude towards the pigeon cowboys?‎ A. They went too far about them. B. They thought nothing of them. ‎ C They showed little interest in them. D. They had a mixed response to them.‎ ‎27. Why is it hard to trap the two pigeons with food'?‎ A. Because they are rather particular about food.‎ B. Because they always have abundant food to eat.‎ C Because they are smart enough not to be tricked. ‎ D. Because they are well protected by pigeon watchers. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ C Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed new artificial intelligence(AI) software to recognize and follow up the faces of individual chimpanzees(黑猩猩)in the wild. The new software will allow researcher and wildlife conservationists to greatly cut back on time spent analyzing videos, according to the new paper published today in Science Advances.‎ ‎“For species like chimpanzees, which have complex social lives and live for many year, getting photos of their behavior from short-term field research can only tell us so much.” says Dan Sehofield, researcher and DPhil student at Oxford University’s Primate Models Lab, School of Anthropology. “By taking advantage of the power of machine learning to unlock large video files, it makes it possible to measure behavior over the long term.”‎ The computers model was trained using over 10 million images(影像)from Kyoto University’s Primate Research Institute (PRI) video files of wild chimpanzees in Guinea, West Africa. The new software is the first to continuously track and recognize individuals in a wide range of posed, performing with high accuracy in difficult conditions such as low lighting and poor image quality.‎ ‎“Access to this large video file has allowed us to use the newest deep neural networks to train models at a scale that was previously not possible,” says Arsha Nagrani, co-author of the study and DPhil student at the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford. “Additionally, our new software differs from previous primate face recognition software in that it can be applied t raw videos with limited manual intervention(人工干预)or pre-processing, saving hours of time.”‎ The technology has potential for many uses, such as monitoring species for conservation.‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎ Although the present application focused on chimpanzees, the software provided could be applied to other species, and help drive the adoption of AI systems to solve a range of problems in the wildlife sciences. ‎ 28. What's the purpose of developing the new software?‎ A To save wildlife researchers’ time spent in the wild.‎ B. To keep track of wildlife conservationists’ behavior.‎ C. To protect chimpanzees and help them to live longer.‎ D. To recognize and track the the faces of wild chimpanzees.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. Getting photos. B. Analyzing videos.‎ C. The new AI software. D. A powerful machine.‎ ‎30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?‎ A. The unique advantages of the new software.. ‎ B. Some limitations of using the new software.‎ C. The working principles of the new software. ‎ D. Controversial attitudes to the new software.‎ ‎31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. The new software has a quite bright future.‎ B. The application of the technology can be tough. ‎ C. Technology is the final goal of scientific research.‎ D. AI systems are widely used in the wildlife sciences. ‎ ‎ D ‎ Nail biting and hair pulling are two forms of body language. Both nail biting and hair pulling can be either conscious or subconscious body language gestures, each showing some interesting aspects of the character, emotion and inner working of the individual.‎ Nail biting is a non-verbal gesture. In adults it’s often a habit adopted and carried through from childhood and can become apparent in stressful situations throughout adulthood. To most people, nail biting is associated with nervousness and shyness and is an involuntary response to certain social situations. In many cases, it’s an adaptor behaviour that channels nervous energy, inactivity or boredom and doesn’t disturb normal functioning. In severe cases nail biting can become a repetitive behaviour that is intentionally performed. It can result in great physical damage.‎ So when we look deeper, in both adults and children, it has been suggested that severe nail biting is often referred to as a method of “self-heating”. This indicates that nail biting is a ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎ subconscious behaviour indicating increased anxiety and low self-confidence.‎ Hair pulling can indicate a number of emotions and behaviors. For example, children who bite their nails or frequently pull their hair may be nervous or have low self-confidence. Hair pulling may be a comforting action for a child who is tense and anxious, and may become habitual later in life in stressful situations. Routine and severe hair pulling can be a compulsive disorder that may be linked to genetics, anxiety and depression. It’s most commonly thought to be a stress-related condition.‎ However, hair puling is also another non-verbal body language that can signify different things in different situations. For example, in some situations, it can mean interest and desire. However, in other situations, it can suggest anxiety, incompetence, uncertainty or shyness.‎ 32. What does the text say about nail biting?‎ A. It doesn’t harm its doer physically. B. It stops its doer functioning normally.‎ ‎ C.It isn’t a gesture only made by children. D. It is a commonly used way to avoid shyness.‎ ‎33. According to the text, children who often pull their hair .‎ ‎ A. may take no interest in something B. may feel quite sure of themselves ‎ C. must suffer from lack of desire D. may not feel at ease at all ‎34. The underlined word “signify” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “ “.‎ ‎ A. explain B. indicate C. hide D. summarize ‎35. What is the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. How to Read Forms of Body Language? ‎ B. What Do Nail Biting and Hair Pulling Suggest?‎ C. How to Express Ourselves with Body Language?‎ D. What Are the Deep Meanings of Body Language?‎ 第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。 ‎ Whether you’d like to loosen tight muscles, become more flexible, or just keep yourself tom getting injured when you exercise or play sports, stretching is important.
