26、   A facial recognition app，recently developed by scientists，will make it easier to identify（辨认）pandas.

Wan Yongqing，a Beijing photographer，visits Sichuan Province to take photos of pandas every other year. He has watched them for more than a decade. "My friends say I’m a big panda fan. It is a shame that I find all pandas look the same，with black eyes and white fur. It does not matter as all the pandas are cute to me，"he said.

Yet，identifying one panda from another does matter to researchers，according to Zhang Zhihe，chief of the Chengdu panda research base.

“Identifying individual pandas is important for conservation（保护） management and research. For captive（圈养的） pandas，it is important for their daily feeding schedules，family background and data management. For wild pandas，it helps researchers study their population structure and provides scientific support for their protection and management，”he said.

China has carried out four scientific surveys on wild pandas，and now has a big databank about them. The number of wild pandas in China is mostly known. However，it is still difficult to determine the age，sex，health and other specific information about the population.

“It’s difficult track and watch the structure because wild pandas tend to live alone, deep in the mountains, and their living environment is vast,” Zhang added.

In 2017, the Chengdu base began researching individual panda identification technology by analyzing images. Over the past two years, they have built a databank of more than 120,000 images, over 10,00 video clips, and completed organizing nearly 10,000 images.

Using the databank, researchers have started a facial recognition app that can accurately recognize captive pandas by analyzing and comparing the unique features of panda faces.

Panda researchers hope the data and AI technology will help them analyze data for both captive and wild pandas.

【1】How does Wan Yongqing feel about the pandas?

A.It is helpful for further research and data management.

B.It is useful for studying their population structure.

C.It provides proof that they need protection in the wild.

D.It helps researchers build up their living environment.

【3】What makes it difficult to track and watch wild pandas?

A.They only live in a small area.

B.They don’t leave enough tracks.

C.They are difficult to see in the forest.

D.They live alone deep in the mountains.

27、   This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13-19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools, meet US teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

Here is a two-way student exchange(交流/交换) in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.

Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. The school was completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully (尊敬地) when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.

Family life, too, was different. The father's words were the law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.

“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”

At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize(批评) American schools," he says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

【1】This year _______ teenagers will take part in the exchange program between America and other countries.

A.twenty-three hundred B.thirteen hundred

C.over three thousand D.less than two thousand

【2】The whole exchange program is mainly to _______.

D.the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students

28、An 82-year-old Chinese female pilot has set a record in the country's airline industry (航空业) after flying a small plane for 40 minutes in Beijing. Miao Xiaohong, one of China's second batch (一批) of female pilots, controlled the Tecnam P2010 plane to take off, turn, climb, dive and land safely at the Shifosi Airport in Pinggu District of Bejjing.

In 1956, Miao Xiaohong, who graduated from a high school in Jinan, won a position in the second batch. She graduated from the flight school in 1958. In the following years, she flew many important missions (任务). In 1963, she accepted a mission to airdrop materials for the flood-stricken areas in Hebei Province. Poor visibility (能见度) prevented her locating the target areas as the clouds were about 100 meters above the ground, but she managed to finish the task.

In 1989, she retired and started her writing carer. When she collected materials for her books, she found that many aged pilots in other countries still flew, so she had the idea to return to the sky. To prepare for the flight, she walked 3,000 steps every day and moved her arms to meet the requirements for high-altitude flight during the past two months. Different from past flights for missions, this time her goal was to enjoy the flight. She said that it was exciting and fresh. “Seeing the boundless blue sky unfold in front of me, I feel it is very open,” she said.

The trainer said that Miao Xiaohong could finish 30 hours of flight to get a license for commercial flight. She said, “My physical condition is good enough to finish the 30-hour flight but it is not so important for me to get such a license. After achieving my dream of returning to the sky, I hope to encourage young women to join the airline industry. I'm 82 years old and I can fly again. You, the young people, can fly and will fly better than me.”

【1】What can we learn from the airdrop mission carried out by Miao Xiaohong?

A．She was a very lucky pilot.

B．She had excellent flying skills.

C．She suffered from poor eyesight.

D．She always finished hard tasks.

【2】What made Miao Xiaohong have the idea of flying a plane at the age of 82?

A．Her deep love for sky.

B．Her wish to set a flying record.

C．The influence of other aged pilots.

D．The requirements of her books.

【3】Which of the following word can best describe Miao Xiaohong?

A．Faithful.

B．Stubborn.

C．Generous.

D．Determined.

【4】What might be the best title for the passage?

A．Returning to the Blue Sky

B．Improving Your Flight Skills

C．Managing to Finish Difficult Tasks

D．Improving Yourself to Set a Record

29、   A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.

Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.

Alex Goldberg, the program’s founder, said:”We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.”

“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we’ve secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.”

“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn,14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).

The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. “Before we left I didn’t quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn’t stop, it was amazing,” he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”

The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse,violence and unemployment.

Kieran said, “It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”

The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.

【1】The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to ____.

A.train staff for world-famous firms

B.offer job opportunities to young adults

D.equip the unemployed with different skills

【2】According to Alex Goldberg, it is difficult for schools to offer the mentoring due to ____.

A.the lack of support from firms

A.the visit to the United Kingdom was amazing

B.Kieran has made great progress in many aspects

C.the youth have found a way to solve their problems

D.the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
