In September, a group of five children began biking to school with their parents on Fridays. Soon the group grew to 150 or more. The program is called bike bus.The bike bus begins around 8: 25 every Friday morning. The path it will follow is always posted ahead of time, so everyone knows where to join. The bike bus starts off with just a few students and parents, with more and more joining as it travels along.Most kids ride their bikes, but others ride scooters(滑板车)or use skates. Instead of riding in bike lanes or on sidewalks, the bike bus takes over the entire street. With music playing and bike bells ringing, the bike bus feels like a party.“Being able to ride with a bunch of kids is a big part of the fun,” says nine-year-old Maria Pitarch. “The best part of the bike bus is that we ride along and pick up my friends and we ride together.”It was possible to bike to school in Eixample before, but it wasnt really safe for kids. There are a few bike lanes, but there are also lots of cars. One of the main roads used by the Eixample bike bus has about 20,000 cars and motorcycles every day. Because these are busy streets, the local police are helping stop traffic by riding in front of the bike bus and behind it.Parents are hoping that the bike bus will help change ideas about how people can get around in the city. They want the city to create wider and kid-friendly bike lanes that are separate from car traffic. They point out that the bike bus also helps cut down on pollution.Barcelona isnt the first bike bus ever. The idea has been around for quite a while. There have been bike buses in Madrid and other parts of Spain for years.24. What do we know about the bike bus?A. It begins every morning.B. All riders join it by riding a bike.C. It has more than one hundred riders.D. Kids start the ride trip together.25. What does Maria Pitarch think of the bike bus?A. Interesting.B. Tiring.C. Challenging.D. Boring.26. Who help clear the streets for the bike bus?A. Parents.B. Teachers.C. Students.D. Police.27. What is the main idea of the text?A. Bike bus greatly cuts down the city pollution.B. Eixample kids are taking the “Bike Bus” to school.C. Parents call on the local government to improve the traffic.D. Example schools find a safe way to school for the children.CThe world can be a scary place when youre young. It can be even scarier when youre a young little blue penguin, the tiniest of the penguin species. Luckily, there are some humans willing to help. They stepped in to protect Billy, a blue penguin that appeared on a beach in Christchurch, New Zealand.Spotted on November 29 at the slipway at Moncks Bay, near Sumner, in Christchurch, the little penguin immediately attracted a small crowd. Jeff Mein Smith saw the crowd while he was bicycling that afternoon, and he biked home to get his camera. When he returned to the scene, he found that the penguin had received a little sign, one that read, “Hi, Im waiting for my mum to come back.DOC (Department of Conservation) knows Im here. Please leave me alone. Keep your dogs away. Thanks, Billy the baby blue penguin.”Billy didnt move away from the sign. The DOC arrived later that afternoon to pick up Billy, though they were surprised to see it on the beach. “Its unusual for a blue penguin to be out in the open on the beach during the day,” Anita Spencer, a DOC senior ranger, told Stuff.Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being brought back from the beach. Volunteers believe the bird may actually be a female penguin, and is around 2 months old. The chick weighs merely 550 grams, less than a standard basketball. A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age. Most little penguins grow up to weigh 1 kilogram.The center will help the little penguin gain some weight by feeding it with fish juice, before its set free into the ocean.28 Who is Billy?A. A penguin.B. A fish.C. A dog.D. A ranger.29. What can be inferred from the text?A. Billy is a male penguin.B. Jeff will take care of Billy.C. Billy weighs more at its age.D. Some dogs probably chased Billy initially.30. How did the DOC feel about Billy appearing on the beach?A. Disappointed.B. Unexpected.C. Regretful.D. Frightened.31. What will happen to Billy at last?A. It will be studied by scientists.B. It will live in DOC.C. It will come back to the ocean.D. It will stay in a zoo.DBeethoven, one of the worlds most-loved composers, is famous for his nine symphonies. Before he died, he began a new symphony, but never finished it. Computer scientists and musicians have now used artificial intelligence to finish his 10th Symphony.Beethoven wrote many famous pieces of music, but hes probably best known for his nine symphonies. When Beethoven died in 1827, he had some ideas for a 10th Symphony. But all he left behind were some notes about the piece and a few “sketches” short bits of written music.In 2019, a special team of musicians, computer scientists and historians was formed. Their goal: to try to complete Beethovens 10th Symphony to celebrate his 250th birthday.The team didnt just want to complete the symphony. They wanted to come as close as possible to producing the symphony that Beethoven meant to write. Thats where deep learning came in.To fulfill the task, the team trained an AI to help with the symphony. They turned every piece of music that Beethoven ever wrote into a form the computer could understand.By feeding the program all of Beethovens music, the AI could look for patterns in the way Beethoven wrote. This included, for example, how he re-used simple melodies all through a piece to create a theme, or how he moved between different parts of the symphony.Finally, the AI had the challenge of trying to connect the little musical bits into a symphony. It took over two years, but the team was able to complete Beethovens 10th Symphony. Not simply a melody, but40 minutes of music for a full orchestra.So Beethoven now has a 10th Symphony. And though Beethoven didnt write it all, we feel sure that the music is very much like what he might have written, if hed had the chance.32. What is the aim of the team?A. To create a new type of musical AI.B. To carry forward Beethovens symphonies.C. To complete Beethovens 10th Symphony.D. To study the value of Beethovens 10th Symphony.33. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “fulfil” in paragraph 5?A. Assign.B. Complete.C. Explain.D. Analyze.34. What does the author agree with?A. The team has done a good job.B. The AI will be widely acknowledged.C. The 10th Symphony is a simple melody.D. Beethoven is satisfied with the 10th Symphony.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. AI and Music: Servant Rather Than MasterB. Beethoven and Al: the Battle of the SuperhumansC. Musicians Succeeded in the Study of SymphoniesD. A Team Used AI to Help Finish Beethovens 10th Symphony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。The Guide to Winter Activities in the White MountainsThe weather in the White Mountains can be unpredictable, especially during the winter months.
