His invention led others in the camp where he stayed to start calling him the “Newton of Gaza”. That comparison involves the English scientist, Isaac Newton. Newton is known for his major scientific discoveries in the fields of physics, mathematics and astronomy more than 300 years ago. A famous story about Newton describes how an apple falling on his head led him to discover the nature of gravity.Al-Attar and his family are staying in a tent that is partly attached to a house. He was able to climb onto the roof to set up two fans, one above the other. The wind could turn the fans, which produced small amounts of electricity. He then connected the fans to wires and built a charging station. Al-Attar also built switches to control a lighting system made out of wood.Al-Attars first two attempts failed, and it took him a lot of time to develop a working system. He started developing it further, bit by bit, until he was able to extend the wires through the room to the tent, so that the tent would have light. He was happy to be able to create something to help ease “the suffering” of his family members. Now, he is just looking forward to the future when conditions can improve in Gaza.“I am very happy that people in this camp call me the Newton of Gaza,” Al-Attar said. “Because I hope to achieve my dream of becoming a scientist like Newton and creating an invention that will benefit not only the people of the Gaza Strip, but the whole world.”24. Why did Al-Attar buy two second-hand fans?A. To light his tent.B. To cool his home.C. To challenge Newton.D. To learn to repair a device.25. Which of the following did Al-Attar use to power his invention?A. Sunlight.B. Electricity.C. Burning wood.D. Flowing air.26. What can we learn from Al-Attars devotion to his invention?A. Personal ability is boundless.B. Patience is the key to success.C. Family support determines success.D. Failure tends to discourage motivation.27. What did Al-Attar mainly convey in the last paragraph?A. His future goal.B. His great achievements.C. The benefits of his camp.D. The hardship of his creation.CFor much of history, biologists and behaviorists assumed that intelligence of species could be neatly organized into a hierarchy. Modern man was placed at the top, followed by other mammals (哺乳动物). Then came the birds, reptiles (爬行动物) and insects.However, research suggests that intelligence is actually distributed in different ways across the animal kingdom. In the 1960s, a new generation of researchers pushed the rest of the academic community to define animal intelligence in looser terms. They thought the conventional definition of intelligencesomething made up of both consciousness and the ability for abstract thought-was too particular to our own species. Because every animal followed a completely different evolutionary journey, intelligence should be measured in relative terms instead of absolute terms.In the following decades, a variety of technologies that allow us to observe animals for longer periods of time without disturbing their normal routines revealed that animal behaviors are far more complex than many previous thoughts. In Melbourne, some remote controlled machines are helping researchers to better understand the breeding patterns of southern right whales. Meanwhile, they use the computer to learn to understand, track and predict the movements of organisms.Regardless of our rapidly changing conception of animal intelligence, it is best recognized when the behavior of an animal is similar to our own behavior. For example, elephants, which are said to remember and return to the tomb sites of dead members of their herd. They also exhibit an unusual interest in the dead bodies of other elephants, signaling their attention to death and perhaps even realizing their own death.As time passes, we are continuously amazed at the level of cognitive (认知的) complexity exhibited by animals. At times, their madness can be difficult to spot. Modern technology finally allows us to look with some precision. Though the search only got underway a few decades ago, we have already discovered more similarities between animals and ourselves than we previously expected.28. What does the underlined word “hierarchy” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Rank.B. Trend.C. Form.D. Campaign.29. What did the researchers think of the conventional definition of intelligence?A. Abstract.B. Inaccurate.C. Unnoticed.D. Complex.30. Why are elephants mentioned in paragraph 4?A. To make a prediction.B. To make an assumption.C. To prove an exception.D. To prove a viewpoint.31. What is the topic of the text?A. Human cognition.B. Human intelligence.C. The distribution of animal intelligence.D. The species classification in the animal kingdom.DA team of three students won $700,000 this week for using artificial intelligence (AI) to read passages from an ancient papyrus scroll (纸草卷轴). The document is one of the more than 800 scrolls known as the Herculaneum papyri that were carbonized by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Researchers discovered the passages in the 18th century, but attempts to read them proved in vain: Unfolding them by hand only caused them to fall apart.Thats where the Vesuvius Challenge comes in. Brent Seales, a computer scientist, and two businessmen, Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross, launched the Vesuvius Challenge in March 2023, offering more than $1 million in prize money for reaching a series of milestones using “computer vision, machine learning and hard work”. For the biggest prize, the organizers released high-resolution CT scans of the scrolls and explained the contests rules: Participants would need to decipher (破译) at least 85 percent of four passages. A series of smaller prizes were also awarded throughout the year.The winning team consists of Nader (an Egyptian PhD student in Germany), Julian Schilliger (a robotics student in Switzerland) and Luke Farritor (a computer science student in Nebraska). Their submission was “met with widespread amazement” by the review team of papyrologists. Farritor also won the challenges $40,000 “First Letters” prize in October, when he deciphered the scrolls first word “porphyras”, which means “purple” in ancient Greek. Nader and Farritor began working together the following month and were joined by Schilliger shortly before the December 31 deadline.The team ultimately trained machine-learning algorithms (算法) to decipher more than 2,000 charactersmore than what was needed to win the Grand Prize. These passages appear to be a philosophical discussion of lifes pleasures, including music and food, though the papyrology team is still studying the results. “It seems familiar to us, and we cant escape the feeling that the first text weve uncovered is a 2,000-year-old blog post about how to enjoy life,” write the organizers.32. Which statement fits the papyrus scroll in paragraph 1?A. Its 800-word texts were well-known.B. It was successfully unfolded.C. It was discovered in 79 AD.D. Its text contents were unavailable.33. What should participants do to win the biggest prize?A. Explain language rules.B. Decipher four passages word by word.C. Develop a type of CT scanner of the scrolls.D. Translate most characters of the given passages.34. What is the authors main purpose in writing paragraph 3?A. To introduce some background information.B. To summarize the above paragraphs.C. To lead to a philosophical conclusion.D. To put forward a scientific theory.35. What do we know about the winning teams achievement?A. It is under discussion.B. It is beyond expectation.C. It is familiar to philosophers.D. It is uncovered by the organizers.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。Enjoying your workouts can be a complete game changer when it comes to keeping a consistent exercise schedule and avoiding burnout. 36 Making exercise more funThe Heart Matters magazine gives a few recommendations on how to make exercise more fun, such as asking others to join you and exercising for a specific cause, like a marathon for raising funds for an organization. 37 .
