( A )
Many of China’s ancient architectural treasures smashed to dust before Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng began documenting them in the 1930s. The husband and wife team were among the first preservationists to operate in China, and by far the best known. Their efforts have since inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rush toward development.
Becoming China’s best architectural historians was no easy accomplishment. The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old, located in distant parts of the country. In many cases, they had to journey through dangerous conditions in the Chinese countryside to reach them. Exploring China’s remote areas during the 1930s meant traveling muddy, poorly maintained roads by mule (骡子)or on foot. Inns were often dirty, food could be polluted, and there was always risk of violence from rebels, soldiers and robbers.
Their greatest discovery was the Temple of Buddha’s Light, in Wutai County, Shanxi Province. The bre
athtaking wooden temple was built in 857 A.D., making it the oldest building known in China at the time.
Liang and Lin crawled into the temple’s most forbidding, forgotten areas to determine its age, including one hideaway inhabited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs, covered in dust and littered with dead bats. “In complete darkness and among the awful smell, hardly breathing, with thick masks covering our noses and mouths, we measured, drew, and photographed with flashlights for several hours. When at last we came out to take a breath of fresh air, we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bag. We ourselves had been badly bitten. Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those the happiest hours of my years hunting for ancient architecture.”Liang wrote of the experience in an account included in “Liang and Lin: Partners in Exploring China’s Architectural Past.”

①Risk is something we face daily. However, some people are obviously more willing to take risks than others.
②Biologists appear to have discovered a physical reason that explains why some people are risk-takers. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, a chemical that spreads signals between nerve cells. It is linked to the brains reward system and is the chemical that makes us feel good, and scientists believe it to be linked to risk-taking. Our nerve cells have dopamine receptors (接收器)which control the amount of dopamine that each cell receives. But not all receptors may be active. When a person has few active receptors to control the amount of dopamine that is received, a cell can become flooded resulting in an extreme feeling of happiness.
③Researchers at Vanderbilt University and Albert Einstein College of Medicine asked 34 men and women to complete a questionnaire about their risk taking to assess whether they seek new opportunities or are cautious in life. The results of the research were consistent with similar studies carried out with rats, and had the same outcome. It concluded that people who are risk-takers have fewer dopamine receptors than people who are not. This suggests that the rush of pleasure a risk tak
er receives when a cell becomes flooded with dopamine can become addictive for some people. They therefore pursue new and exciting activities in order to try to repeat this feeling, and as a result their concern for risk becomes considerably reduced.
④Dopamine gives us a biological reason for risk-taking, but scientists believe there may be psychological reasons too. Sensation-seeking is a personality characteristic that describes the desire to find activities that bring us pleasure. In 1964, psychologist Marvin Zuckerman created the sensation-seeking scale. His 40-item questionnaire, still used today, was given to people who were active in seeking new activities, and to people who were more satisfied with a quiet life. While risk-taking is not a characteristic in itself, it is very much associated with sensation-seeking, as a high sensation-seeker does not evaluate risk in the same way that a low sensation-seeker does. A desire to achieve pleasure means that there is a greater willingness to take more risks.
⑤There are both biological and psychological explanations as to why some people may choose to take more risks than others. However, none of these explanations are definitive.
63. If a person has fewer active dopamine receptors, __________.
A. he is less likely to feel happy
B. he is more willing to take risks
C. he will eventually become dopamine-addictive
D. he is poorer at controlling the amount of dopamine

Wild Track is an organization that aims to protect endangered animals like rhinos. They use a compu
ter program that runs photos of animal tracks through an algorithm (演算法). Then the program makes the same observations as a tracker would, allowing scientists to know where individual animals go. However, the program itself needs “training”.
It starts with collecting good photos of prints from endangered animals in captivity (圈养). As people send in photos of tracks from animals in the wild, the FIT program can compare it to tracks from animals it “knows.” As the program becomes more accurate, Wild Track hopes it will become a major tool for monitoring any endangered species.
Anyone can help Wild Track by taking images of tracks and sending them to a partner organization The only tool you need is a digital camera or cellphone. After finding a clear track, place one ruler along the bottom of the footprint and another along the left side. Below the footprint, place a note containing your exact name and the date. Holding the camera or cellphone directly above the track, take a photo showing the footprint, rulers and note. Later, and follow the instructions on the site to send your photo.
Wild Track needs photos of footprints made not only by animals in captivity but also those living in the wild. In wild places, you should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment. If yo
u intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to you, then you should not go there alone. Instead, go with someone who is familiar with the region and experienced at tracking.
56. How does the writer begin this article about WildTrack?
A. By discussing the software that it employs
B. By praising its recent efforts to raise funds
C. By explaining how and when it was founded
D. By summarizing different opinions about it
57. According to this article, which animals are WildTrack mainly interested in?
A. Those which cause a threat to human settlements
B. Those which are now at risk of becoming extinct
C. Those which have been illegally kept as pets
D. Those which disappeared from the Earth long ago
58. What does this article talk about in detail?
A. A list of locations worth exploring
B. A strategy for acquiring equipment
C. A warning not to engage in hunting
D. A technique containing several steps
59. What does the article suggest doing in wild areas?
A. Admiring the wild landscape
B. Preparing well for wild weather
C. Leaving wild creatures alone
D. Consuming a diet of wild plants

Science fiction paints a future where robots play an important part in
everyday life. A technology firm is trying to make that future a reality
today with an affordable robot called Artibo. Artibo is small. Its brain, or
Al block, is a cube (立方体) that fits in your hand. That block connects to
a motor block and two silicon wheels. Assembled, it’s about four inches
tall.
Artibo is much more than just a robot that you program to move
around. Artibo’s designers want it to provide companionship and be a
resource for learning coding. With its camera, microphone and
connection to a cloud-based Al, it can respond to voice commands or
function like a walkie-talkie (对讲机). It talks like a chatbot and can tell
bedtime stories. It can even help you learn other languages!
Artibo isn’t quite ready for stores yet, though. It’s part of a crowdfunding project. Crowdfunding is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people. Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project. Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it into production.
Using computer code to program your own toys is nothing new. LEGO first released a robot kit in 1998. Since then, programmable robots have become one of the best-selling units in the LEGC product line. Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science, but anyone can program one using nothing more than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks.
Code blocks allow you to program simple or complex commands by assembling visual blocks of code on the canvas (画布) of a computer screen. Just drag and drop a variety of code blocks from a programming menu, link them together, and watch how your robot responds. In Artibo’s case coding doesn’t stop there. Unlike other similar programmable toys, Artibo will also allow you to write your own code. So as your familiarity with coding increases, you won’t lose interest in Artibo.
60.According to the passage, the purpose of developing Artibo is ______.
A.helping people learn anything they want and providing companionship
B.providing a robot that can move, accompany and help people learn coding
C.chatting with people, telling bedtime stories and supplying languages
D.helping people raise money on line and creating programmable robots
61.What can be concluded from the passage?
A.Programming robots is not really complicated.
B.Programming robots is advanced like a rocket.
C.Programming robots can be used in smartphones.
D.Programming robots used in toys is not new at all.
上海高考时间202062.The passage implies that ______.
A.People can programme various orders even without code blocks
B.Anyone can control Artibo freely unlike other programming toys
C.The more familiar you’re with coding, the more you’ll like Artibo
D.Artibo is popular in the world especially among young people
