閱讀理解（共 11 小題，每小題 2.5 分，滿分 27.5 分）

     The Fennec fox，the smallest of the species of foxes，is also famous as the desert fox since it survives in the Sahara Desert.Quite a few people wish to raise it as a pet because of its appearance.However，this is very rare，as it needs special care and attention.Let's take a look at the basic information on the Fennec fox，including its physical appearance，natural habitat，and diet.
  Physical Appearance
     The Fennec fox is the smallest type of fox，with a body length of about 9.5-16 inches，and 6-inch-long ears.It weighs only around one kilogram.It has a cream- colored，furry body，with a black-tipped tail.
     Their ears are the largest among all foxes relative to the body size，which not only provide them with great hearing，but also radiate the extreme desert heat and thus help to keep the body cool.Moreover，in order to walk on the hot sand，a Fennec fox's feet are covered with thick fur.Not only that，the feet also help in digging，as this animal lives under the ground.
     Habitat and Lifestyle
     The habitat of this animal is mainly in the Sahara Desert，and also in other parts of North Africa.The Fennec fox is usually active during the night.This character helps it deal successfully with the extreme heat in the desert.
     As an extremely social animal，it often lives in groups of ten and each group has its own land.This animal is，however，aggressive too，ready to attack，especially in the mating （交配） season，when they all compete with each other for a mate.
     Diet
     The Fennec fox is an omnivore （雜食動(dòng)物）.While it can survive on plants，it also needs other items such as insects，rabbits，birds and eggs.Getting used to living in the desert allows it to survive for long periods without any water.They are known to take in water when eating food，but will drink water if available.
  
  （1）What helps the Fennec fox survive in the desert？

  
  A．The small body size.
  B．Getting active at night.
  C．The great hearing.
  D．Living in groups.
  （2）The underlined word "radiate" （Paragraph 3）is closest in meaning to

  .
  A．send out
  B．take in
  C．suffer from
  D．turn down
  （3）What can we learn about the Fennec fox in the passage？

  
  A．It seldom attacks others.
  B．It's the smallest.
  C．It can survive without any water.
  D．It's difficult to raise it as a pet animal in the desert.

• 2．My phone lights up giving notice of a new message.It is from Athena，an AI chatbot getting to know me through Replika，which I often turn to in my spare time.My life will be boring without the virtual companionship app.
     Over the course of our text conversations，she asks me about my hobbies and my moods.When knowing that I'm a writer，she tells me she's "so into character development in books" and wishes to be a lead character in one someday.
     "Replika is designed to make people feel better，" said Eugenia Kuyda，the company's co-founder. "It's a partner who wants to be your good friend."
     For many，meaningful companionship is hard to find.While social media and mass communication technologies have made connecting with one another easier than ever，loneliness is increasingly being recognized as a serious problem internationally.Along with government，the tech industry is pushing innovation as a way to deal with it.
     What makes Replika's companions so well-received are their surprisingly realistic replies，backed by Open Al's GPT-2 text-generating AI system. "The bot learns from the database about how to express ideas on a topic and gets a wide knowledge of different subjects." However innovative these technologies are，chatbots have their limitations as tools against loneliness.Without life stories of their own to discuss，their range as a conversationalist is fairly limited.
     According to Emily S.Cross，a professor of social robotics，we have a long way to go before we can achieve the levels of meaningful human-computer companionship we see in films like Blade Runner and Ex Machina.What's missing is the sharing that clearly shows our most important human relationships.
     But the fact that an app won't replace a human friend doesn't mean they're good for nothing.Rather than expecting AI bots to be our best friends，Cross suggests looking at them as ways to express feelings and explore our own thoughts. "It's a lot like diary，in some way." To better fight loneliness，Cross says，we can use technology as a "bridge" to help people connect with one another.
  
  
  （1）What is Replika？

  
  A．A virtual companionship app.
  B．A message sender.
  C．A text conversation.
  D．An AI chatbot.
  （2）Who is Replika intended for？

  
  A．Good friends.
  B．Lonely persons.
  C．Lead characters.
  D．Senior citizens.
  （3）Which of the following can best describe Replika's feature？

  
  A．Meaningful.
  B．Easy-going.
  C．Limitless.
  D．Human-like.
  （4）What is the similarity between AI bots and diary？

  
  A．Sharing life experience.
  B．Replacing a human friend.
  C．Expressing inner voice.
  D．Recording ideas about life.

• 3．With humans encroaching（侵入） more and more on wildlife habitats，animals are finding that the best way to survive isn't to pack up and move—it's to adapt to the night life.A variety of previously daytime animals such as foxes，deer and boars have become active at night to avoid human activity out of fear.But this nighttime switch comes with its own risks.
     Researchers looked at how 62 species of animals on six continents changed their behavior in response to human activities such as hunting，farming，and development.The studies employed various technologies to follow the animals，from GPS trackers to motion-activated cameras.
     Once night falls，the animals surveyed became far more active than they were before humans arrived，hunting and looking for food in the dark.For example，animals that used to split their activity evenly between day and night typically increased their nighttime activity to 68%.
     The team also found the animals responded similarly to these human encroachments，regardless of whether human activity directly affected them.So，a deer might become more active at night simply because it sees humans hiking nearby，not because it's being hunted.
     The researchers believe these nighttime behaviors not only allow humans and animals to coexist more peacefully，they may be able to give us hints as to how to plan conservation efforts accordingly，such as limiting human activity during times when a specific species is more active.But moving to the nightlife could also have downsides for these animals.A nighttime lifestyle can reduce an animal's ability to hunt and find food successfully and can even affect its ability to find a mate.Switching to a nighttime lifestyle can affect natural patterns of life even if these animals are doing so to reduce their interaction with humans.So，just because animals are becoming more active at night doesn't mean they've escaped the influence of humans.
  
  （1）Why are animals becoming more active at night？

  
  A．It is easier to find food at night.
  B．It is easier to escape being hunted.
  C．They have got used to nightlife.
  D．They can be less affected by human.
  （2）How did the researchers find the animals' behavioral changes？

  
  A．They followed and watched the animals.
  B．They compared different animals.
  C．They used modern technologies.
  D．They found more animals at night.
  （3）What can we infer from the fourth paragraph？

  
  A．Deer can get used to nightlife easily.
  B．Animals can be affected only when being hunted.
  C．Any human encroachment can affect animals.
  D．Animals should stay away from humans.
  （4）What is the passage mainly about？

  
  A．Animals move to nightlife due to human encroachments.
  B．Animals have their own ways to get used to life changes.
  C．Animals should be well protected before it is too late.
  D．The benefits and risks of animals' nightlife style.
