The woolly mammoth is one of the most iconic animals of the prehistoric era, yet it remains shrouded in mystery. Often depicted as slow, clumsy, and ill-suited to its environment, a new wave of research is challenging these long-held assumptions.
The woolly mammoth, a massive herbivore with long, curved tusks, roamed the icy landscapes of Eurasia and North America during the Ice Age. These colossal creatures stood up to 11 feet tall and weighed as much as 6 tons, making them larger than modern elephants. They subsisted on a diet of grasses, shrubs, and other vegetation, using their tusks to dig through snow and ice to reach food.
Due to the scarcity of well-preserved mammoth remains, scientists have had limited opportunities to study these ancient beasts. However, recent advancements in paleontology and genetics have allowed researchers to piece together a more accurate picture of their lives. By analyzing ancient DNA and fossilized footprints, scientists have discovered that woolly mammoths were far more agile and adaptable than previously thought.
One of the most significant findings is that woolly mammoths had strong, flexible tendons in their legs, which enabled them to move swiftly across the frozen terrain. Fossil evidence also suggests that they lived in complex social groups, similar to modern elephants, and had highly developed survival strategies to endure the harsh Ice Age conditions.
Woolly mammoths went extinct around 4,000 years ago, likely due to a combination of climate change and human hunting. However, their extinction was not due to a lack of intelligence or adaptability. In fact, recent studies indicate that they were highly intelligent animals with strong problem-solving abilities.
The ongoing research into woolly mammoths is part of a broader effort to understand the ecology and behavior of extinct species. "We are on the brink of uncovering the true nature of these magnificent creatures," said Dr. Elena Ivanova, a leading paleontologist. "The woolly mammoth was not just a relic of the past, but a highly evolved and resilient animal that thrived for thousands of years."
As scientists continue to unravel the mysteries of the woolly mammoth, we are gaining a deeper appreciation for this ancient giant and its place in the history of our planet.

The aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the air as I opened my lunch box to see what my mom had prepared for me. On any other day, I would have eagerly dug into my mom's homemade bread—a family recipe that I often enjoyed at home. But not today, the day a kind classmate had invited me, the new student, to join her friends for lunch.
As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of previous school lunches came flooding back. I remembered feeling self-conscious as my friends would make faces when I brought homemade bread. I had once insisted that my mom pack "regular" lunches like store-bought sandwiches, and she had reluctantly agreed. From then on, my lunches were filled with typical school fare. However, that day, she had packed a loaf of freshly baked bread from the night before.
As soon as I reached the new lunch table, I tried to hide my lunch box under my seat. I sat quietly, hoping not to draw attention to myself when Emily, a new friend, asked where my food was. "I'm not really hungry," I replied in a hesitant voice. But Emily had already seen me with my lunch, so she said, "Then, I'll try it!"
I didn't want to be rude, so I reluctantly pulled out my lunch box. I braced myself for their reactions, expecting them to turn up their noses. But to my surprise, Emily took a small piece of bread and took a bite. My new friends were amazed at how delicious it was. They hadn't expected homemade bread to taste so good. I felt a wave of pride and gratitude wash over me.
When I got home that afternoon, my mom noticed the empty bread container. She hesitated before asking, "How was the food " I paused for a moment, then replied, "It was perfect, Mom. If possible, can I still have your homemade bread for lunch tomorrow "
8. What does the underlined word "reluctantly" mean in paragraph two

AI technology has long been able to recognize patterns in music preferences and create personalized playlists. Now, a new AI system has taken this a step further by analyzing how people listen to music and identifying their unique "listening styles." This advancement in the field of "audiometric" analysis could revolutionize how music streaming services tailor playlists to individual users, making them more personalized and enjoyable. However, there are also concerns that such systems could potentially track users' listening habits in ways that compromise privacy.
Music recommendation algorithms, such as those used by Spotify and Apple Music, have been highly effective at suggesting new songs and artists. But Dr. Emily Carter, a music data scientist at the University of Music and Technology, notes that these algorithms often use a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn't capture the nuances of individual listening behavior. To better understand and cater to individual preferences, researchers need to analyze each user's unique listening patterns.
To develop and train their AI, the researchers collected data from over 50 million listening sessions and fed it into a neural network. They tested the system by seeing how well it could distinguish between different users' listening habits. The system was given 100 listening sessions from each of about 3,000 known users and 100 new sessions from an unknown user. The AI looked for the best match and identified the unknown user 86% of the time, according to a study presented at the International Conference on Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR). "We were quite surprised by the accuracy," says Alex Johnson, a doctoral student in Carter's lab and the lead author of the study. A non-AI method was only 28% accurate.
"The work is really innovative," says Dr. Sarah Kim, a music researcher at Google. "Personalized music experiences could transform how we interact with music platforms."
The researchers are aware of the privacy implications of their system, which could potentially identify users based on their listening habits. In theory, similar systems could also analyze other behaviors, such as the types of podcasts people listen to or the timing of their music consumption. ISMIR organizers found the study technically impressive but ethically questionable, and accepted it on the condition that the researchers detail the privacy risks. Carter says they have decided, for now, not to release the software publicly.
12. What advance in AI technology is described in the article
A. It can recognize different human chess players.
B. It can create personalized playlists based on unique listening styles.
C. It can identify different people's handwriting.
D. It can track people's unacceptable online behavior.
13. Why is the new AI system considered innovative according to Dr. Sarah Kim
A. It can recognize patterns in music preferences more accurately than existing algorithms.
B. It uses a one-size-fits-all approach to suggest new songs.
C. It can analyze the types of podcasts people listen to.
D. It can identify users based on their listening habits with high accuracy.
14. What is the main concern regarding the new AI system described in the article
A. Its ability to create highly personalized playlists.
B. Its potential to compromise user privacy by tracking listening habits.
C. Its limited accuracy compared to non-AI methods.
D. Its inability to distinguish between different users' listening habits.
15. What is the attitude of the ISMIR organizers toward the study on the new AI system
A. Favorable.
B. Disappointed.
C. Careful.
D. Uninterested.

The Power of Thinking Differently
Just in the past few weeks，my wife has become the supporter of the concept of zero-waste living.Zero-waste is obviously about changing behaviors to produce less waste.But as my wife shared with me all the inventive ways people are getting around using plastic or reusing clothes or controlling the desire to accrue （积累） things we don't really need，I realized that，zero-waste starts with something else. （16） ______ And in many ways，the first step，which is simply being willing to do something differently，can be the hardest step of all.
This came to mind as I read a cover story in education.Ostensibly （表面上），it's about more and more colleges agreeing to drop standardized tests as a required measure of student aptitude（天赋）. （17） ______
That is always going to be hard.But in recent decades，colleges have realized that the old ways of judging individual value，while not necessarily wrong，were narrow.While they identified one kind of student well，they did not account for a wide range of experiences，skills，and qualities that were no less important to achievement and success. （18） ______ The tests weren't good enough.Schools could do better.
So what has happened？Schools are increasingly consenting to think differently about admissions.They have resolved to do the best they can to see the whole individual. （19） ______ Some think dropping mandatory standardized tests is a mistake.However，once the first step is taken，the onward pull of reason and morality speed progress.
At a time when there appears to be so much confusion in the world，it is possible to look out and instead see something else：the world struggling with the perpetual （长久的） task of consenting to new ideas.Politics today show how easily we can become stuck in the mentally familiar.
（ 20） ______ That can be an admissions officer wanting to be more thoughtful in extending the benefits that her school offers.Or it can be a zero-waste blogger asking us all to think differently about how we contribute to greater balance in the world.
The only constant is the universal need for progress，and that will never leave us where it found us.
A.It starts with consenting （同意） to change thought.
B.Undoubtedly there have been missteps along the way.
C.In short，they left a lot of amazing people out and didn't even know it.
D.But at its heart，it reveals something more fundamental：how we judge individual value.
E.They offer the most challenging academic programs and ensure every student's physical and mental health.
F.The world，on the other hand，is constantly demanding that we be kinder and more connected and think ever larger.
G.Many universities known to be highly selective in their admissions policies received more applicants than usual.

47.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the year when her parents determined to go their separate ways，Alice initiated the allocation of a considerable span of her time to the Polka Cafe，a venue that surfaced as the exclusive location where she could truly immerse herself in rumination，and her mother seemed to manifest no dissent regarding her spending the bulk of the summer there.
Antecedent to the commencement of the summer season，two momentous occurrences had materialized.The primary occurrence，without doubt，was the egress of her father from their domestic abode，and the secondary one was the disintegration of her amicable bond with Sarah.Alice was incapable of precisely identifying how their relationship had degenerated to such a deplorable state.They had been involved in a vehement quarrel at school shortly subsequent to her parents' public announcement of their irrevocable decision to part.
On every occasion when her friends questioned the non - appearance of her father，who no longer served as her escort to school each morning，Alice would unfailingly proffer the untruth，“My father is preoccupied with business engagements elsewhere.”She discontinued extending invitations to them for recreational gatherings at her residence and fabricated a plethora of pretexts to evade social interaction with any other individuals.“I am occupied with alternative arrangements，”she would communicate to Sarah.
On a particular day，as they were proceeding homeward from school，Sarah accosted Alice in a somewhat irritated intonation，“Alice，what is the underlying issue？Why are you refraining from engaging in dialogue with me？”Alice simulated auditory impairment and persisted in her forward movement，entertaining no inclination to deliberate on the matter with Sarah at that juncture，or with anyone else for that matter.
“I am speaking with utter earnestness，Alice.My mother has divulged the pertinent details to me，”Sarah further stated.“I am cognizant of the situation unfolding with your parents.”This disclosure caused Alice to come to an abrupt standstill.In reality，their habitation was in a compact community where confidential matters were notoriously short - lived，yet Alice had cherished a feeble aspiration that the news would remain under wraps for a sufficient duration to enable her to ascertain the appropriate moment to broach the subject herself.She was overcome with feelings of mortification and emotional injury，yearning to reveal the information to Sarah in accordance with her own volition.
Consumed by a surge of fury，Alice launched a verbal assault.“How can you have the audacity to assert that you possess any knowledge！”she vehemently exclaimed.“You are an exceedingly despicable friend.I harbor no desire to engage in any form of verbal exchange with you ever again！”
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Now it was August，and Alice sat in the Polka Café，lost in thought.________
"I'm sorry too for having shouted at you，" said Alice.________

47. 写作思路与范文
写作思路：这是一篇续写题，需要根据前文的情节和情感发展，合理续写两段内容。第一段应描述Alice在咖啡馆的内心感受，第二段应描述Alice与Sarah的和解过程。
范文： Now it was August, and Alice sat in the Polka Café, lost in thought. She had spent most of the summer there, trying to escape the pain of her parents' separation and the loss of her friendship with Sarah. The café had become her sanctuary, a place where she could be alone with her thoughts. She often found herself staring out the window, watching the world go by, and wishing things could go back to the way they were. But deep down, she knew that things had changed forever, and she had to find a way to move forward.
"I'm sorry too for having shouted at you," said Alice. She finally mustered the courage to reach out to Sarah, who had been her best friend for years. They met at the same café where Alice had spent so much time alone. Sarah looked at her with a mix of sadness and hope. "I didn't mean to hurt you," Alice continued, her voice trembling. "I just felt so embarrassed and overwhelmed by everything that was happening. I didn't know how to handle it." Sarah nodded, understanding the pain that Alice was going through. "I'm sorry I pushed you," she said softly. "I just wanted to be there for you, but I didn't realize how much it hurt you." They hugged, and for the first time in months, Alice felt a sense of relief and comfort. She knew that healing would take time, but with friends like Sarah by her side, she could face whatever came next.
