A team of Chinese researchers has made a significant breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) by developing a new technology, Social Behavior Atlas (SBeA), according to the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) under the famous Chinese Academy of Sciences. This     1     (advance) technology greatly improves the correctness of detecting   (检测) and analyzing (分析) animal social behavior.

The SBeA technology is capable     3     identifying similar-looking animals with more than 90 percent correctness,    4     is achieved without the need to define social behavior categories (类别) ahead of time. As a result, the technology allows researchers     5     (discover) new and previously undefined aspects of animal social behavior. Besides, the SBeA technology can also     6     (effective) process a large amount of data. Therefore it can     7     (apply) to cross-species studies.

The     8     (message) of this groundbreaking study were recently published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence,    9     (stress) the potential   (潜在性) of AI in advancing our understanding of animal behavior.

4 . 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。

Last month, my good friend Ollie and I came home from school. When we passed by the community advertising board, we saw a poster about a recycled-sculpture contest for Trash (垃圾) to Treasure Day. “Look,” I said. “It says anyone can enter, and the first prize is a gift certificate (礼品券) to ask ate shop! Other winners can get gift certificates for ice cream!”

“Sounds fun,“ said Ollie. We both desired new skate boards and decided to team up and divide the prize if we won.

In that case, we needed to figure out what we were going to make before going there. Thinking twice, we chose to make a dragon because dragons are undeniably excellent and impressive. Ollie and I spent the rest of the day researching. On the contest day, I was prepared with the perfect dragon picture to use as our guide.

“Whoa!” Ollie said when we got there. “Look at all these people!” There were piles of recycled stuff, including cardboard, containers, used toys and so on. Each workstation had tape, scissors, glue (胶水),paint, and markers.

Ollie and I found a place, and began to make our dragon. As I reached for a big red zipper   (拉链) which could be made into a pretty mouth, another hand picked it up.

“I was going to use that zipper for a dragon mouth!” I said.

"Really?" asked the girl who'd picked it up. "It could be made into a perfect mouth for my monster. we had the same idea!"

I smiled, “You know what they say—great minds think alike.”

“They also say birds of a feather stick together!” she smiled back. “I’m Shoshanna, and I’m just working over there by myself. Want to work together and make a great dragon?”

We certainly didn't mind. In fact, Ollie and I had been so serious while working that we weren’t having any fun.

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。

As soon as Shoshanna joined our team, everything became better.

Finally we won gift certificates for ice cream.

5 . As we grow older, it is not so easy to keep close friendships. The demands for family and jobs are increasing and free time is more limited.     1     A survey also found that 88% of people in the U. S. have lost touch with a close friend, and 71% wish they could reconnect. 40% of Americans say they spend twice as much of their free time alone.

    2     They support us through tough times and help avoid feelings of loneliness. How do we keep friendships? Studies show that it usually takes about a few hundred hours to go from just getting to know someone to becoming close friends. Of course, we can’t measure friendships in hours spent together, but quality time does matter.     3     Opening up and sharing personal stories are important ways to strengthen (加强) these bonds (联系),   ensuring that the time spent together builds a meaningful connection.

Experts suggest that we should make an effort to keep in touch with our closest friends, especially when life gets busy.     4     Therefore. deep conversations and providing support to each other in meaningful activities can enhance friendships more significantly than passive activities like watching movies. Don’t make excuses not to connect. Online communication is OK.     5    

In short, friendships are important and keeping friends close requires effort, openness, and willingness in our busy lives.

A．But try some outdoor activities.

B．Start with something you are interested in.

C．That's why it is tough to hang out like we used to.

D．Remember meeting in person is usually more effective.

E．Besides, deep conversations and shared experiences are key.

F．However, friendships are important for our health and happiness.

G．Keeping the bond strong includes regular contact and taking part in meaningful activities.
