beautifully carved sculptures of snow.Ice Lantern Festival:where large ice buildings and statues constructed with lights inside that make them glow.SiberianTigerPark:The park has several large caged areas where the tigers roam freely and live as they-would in their natural environment.We enter these caged areas in a specially designed van with large windows to get a look at these beautiful beasts.Live pheasants(雉)are let loose(if you pay)in order to show you the tigers natural hunting skills.Russian Architecture:Blessed with grace and character,the city is famous for its unique,Russian-influenced architecture.Remnants(残存)from the days when Harbin wasan important stop on the Russian Manchurian Railroad,the dome-shaped structures remind people of pre-revolutionary Russia.The strong Russian flavor continues to impact the city today due to new trade and tourism betweenHarbinandRussia.TheCentral Avenue:Passers-by only street,a perfect remaining part of the busy international business activities at the turn of the 20th century.The 1.4-km long street is a worthy museum of European architectural styles,including Baroque and Byzantine facades,Jewish

scientists in a cave in the 1990s.Now,researchersmay have figured out why the Neanderthals,including two children,became victims of cannibalism:Global warming.While previous studies have examined Neanderthal remains to find proof of cannibalistic behavior,this is the first study to offer clues as to what may have led Neanderthals to become cannibals.Scientists found that rapid changes in local ecosystems as the planet warmed may have wiped out the animal species that Neanderthals ate,forcing them to look elsewhere to fill their stomachs.The researchers examined a layer of sediment(沉积物)in a cave known as Baume Moula-Guercy,in southeastern France.In that layer,charcoal(碳)and animal bones were so well-preserved that scientists could reconstruct an environmental picture representing 120,000 to 130,000 years ago.They discovered that the climate in the area was likely even warmer than it is today,and that the change from a cold,dry climate to a warmer one happened quickly.“Maybe within a few generations”,study co-author Emmanuel said.As the animals that once populated the landscape disappeared,some Neanderthals ate what they could find their neighbors.Cannibalism is by no means unique to Neanderthals,and has been practiced by humans and their s“from the early Palaeolithic to theBronze Age and beyond,”the study authors reported.The behavior adopted by the starving Neanderthals in the Baume Moula-Guercy should therefore not be viewed as“a mark of bestiality(兽性)or sub-humanity”,but as an emergency adaptation to a period of severe environmental stress,according to the study.4.What does the study mainly focus on?A.The social behavior of Neanderthals.B.The reason for cannibalism among Neanderthals.C.The climate change in southeasternFrance.D.The influence of global warming on ancient animals.5.What can possibly be used to describe the climate in southeasternFrance120,000 to 130,000 years ago?A.It was no warmer than it is today.B.It was first warm while later cold and dry.C.Its change was mild and went through quite a long process.D.Its change is a chief factor contributing to cannibalism.6.Which of the following might the study authors agree with?A.Neanderthals cannibalism showed their bestiality.B.Cannibalism was actually a measure the Neanderthals had to adopt to survive.C.Neanderthals cannibalism guaranteed their rule over other tribes.D.Only Neanderthals were found to have cannibalism in human history.7.Where can you most possibly find this passage?A.In a science journal.B.In a travel brochure.C.In a history book.D.In a geography book.C Elizabeth Spelke,a cognitive psychologist at Harvard,has spent her career testing the worlds most complex learning system-the mind of a baby.Babies might seem like no match for artificial intelligence(AI).They are terrible at labeling images,hopeless at mining text,and awful at video games.Then again,babies can do things beyond the reach of any AI.By just a few months old,theyve begun to grasp the foundations of language,such as grammar.Theyve started to understand how to adapt to unfamiliar situations.Yet even experts like Spelke dont understand precisely how babies or adults learn.Consider one of the most impressive examples of AI,Alpha Zero,a programme that plays board games with superhuman skill.After playing thousands of games against itself at a super speed,and learning from winning positions,Alpha Zero independently discovered several famous chess strategies and even invented new ones.It certainly seems like a machineeclipsinghuman cognitive abilities.But Alpha Zero needs to play millions more games than a person during practice to learn a game.Most importantly,it cannot take what it has learned from the game and apply it to another area.To some AI experts,that calls for a new approach.In a November research paper,Francois Chollet,a well-known AI engineer,argued that its misguided to measure machine intelligence just according to its skills at specific tasks.“Humans dont start out with skills;they start out with a broad ability to acquire new skills,”he says.“What a strong human chess player is demonstrating is not only the ability to play chess,but the potential to fulfill any task of a similar difficulty.”8.Compared to an advanced AI programme,a baby might be better at _.A playing games B.identifying locations C.labeling pictures D.making adjustments 9.What does the underlined word“eclipsing”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Imitating.B.Beating.C.Limiting.D.Promoting.10.According to the text,Francois Chollet may agree that _.A.AI is good at completing certain assignments.B.AI is likely to gain abilities with less training.C.AI lacks the ability of acquiring specific skills.D.AI performs better than humans in cognitive ability.11.Whichwould be the best title for this passage?A.What is exactly intelligence?B.Why is modern AI advanced?C.Where is human intelligence going?D.How do humans face the challenge of AI?D Earthquake can disrupt whales hunting for food for up to a year,according to a new study.On November 14,2016,the Kaikoura earthquake struck New Zealands South Island,causing a destructive tsunami.Under the surface,the earthquake caused strong currents that swept away and mostly killed off diverse ecosystems of creatures living along the Kaikoura underwater canyon.As a result,whales had to dive deeper and longer to find food“a major shift”in their behavior,says co-author Liz Slooten,a marine biologist at the University of Otago in New Zealand.The impact earthquakes have on land animals has been well documented,but scientists know ly little about what happens underwater.Such research is important for government agencies,which may need to take recent earthquakes into consideration when considering fishing quotas（限额）,notes Rochelle Constantine,a marine mammal ecologist at the University of Auckland.The canyons upper reaches are rich in creatures,supplying food for the fish that make up the whales diet.So when these smaller life forms were washed away,it had“severe consequences for the community around there”,says study co-author Will Rayment.“That effect flowed all the way through the food chain.”As part of their ongoing study,the scientists were tracking 42 individual whales.After the earthquake,in all,the team managed to record data on 40 whales,showing that the abundance of whales in the general area didnt change after the earthquake.However,the whales changed how they used their habitat.A year after the earthquake,the researchers observed the whales returning to their previous surface-breathing intervals.This could have been because the communities of animals that make up the whales food began to recover.“It gives you an idea of how resilient（有复原力的）these deep-sea communities are,”says Rayment.But he and his colleagues will continue long-term monitoring to see if there are effects they missed.Whale activity in the area had already been declining,though its unknown whether it is due to natural changes in food abundance,whale-watching tourism,fishing,or warming ocean temperatures.“There is something going on in Kaikoura,”says Rayment.12.What happened after the Kaikoura earthquake in the Kaikoura canyon?A.Several destructive tsunamis struck the area.B.Whales had to swim to other oceans to find food.C.Nearly all marine creatures in Kaikoura were killed off.D.Strong currents washed away many smaller creatures.13.Which is one of the findings of the study?A.Earthquakes can make it easier for whales to find food.B.The whales changed their habitat after the earthquake.C.It usually takes whales a year to adapt to their new diet.D.The number of whales in the area dropped sharply after the quake.14.What does Rochelle Constantine think of the study?A.It can help government agencies to make some decisions about fishing.B.It can help government agencies to solve problems in the fishing industry.C.It is a breakthrough in research on what happens underwater after an earthquake.D.It offers a detailed description of the impact earthquake have on marine mammals.15.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Something is affecting the whale activity in Kaikoura.B.Fishing quotas have been increasing in recent years.C.The team missed some effects in the research process.D.The scientists will continue studying earthquakes.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 How to Encourage a Teenager to Take up a Hobby Having a hobby can greatly enrich a teenagers life.Hobbies can increase
