With a 30-year career under her belt as an accomplished head nurse and a veteran (老兵) of the 2003 SARS outbreak, Wang Yuying once again found herself wearing protective clothes for a mission to fight COVID-19 in Wuhan.
Wang Yuying arrived in Wuhan, Hubei Province, on the night of February 1, which was only seven hours after she received the call that she had been assigned to help at the center of the novel coronavirus.
Wang was one of the 135 medical workers dispatched by Peking University First Hospital to help treat seriously ill COVID-19 patients in Wuhan during the height of the outbreak. The day after arriving, Wang started to take care of the patients. Four days later, she was assigned as the head nurse of the medical team from Peking University First Hospital, and their team was asked to start taking care of patients independently within two days.
Despite the heavy work, Wang still paid attention to the psychological condition of both the nurses and patients. She could remember the birthdays of all 100 nurses and she would surprise them with a cake or alter from family. She noticed the signs of worry in the patients. She would talk to them gently and comfort them to create a bond with them. Wang thinks attentive care and psychological nursing also played an important role in treating the COVID-19 patients.
Because of her devotion and focus on both the patients and nurses, her team finished their work with success on April 4. Wang Yuying has been a head nurse for three decades and is one year away from retirement. For her, the experience in Wuhan was also a chance to find and train those who will follow in her footsteps—the future head nurses.
24. What did Wang Yuying do in 2003
A. She served as a head nurse and a veteran.
B. She participated in the fight against SARS.
C. She reported the event of SARS.
D. She protected the nurses from being infected.
25. What does the underlined word “dispatched” inparagraph3 mean
A. Command. B. Treat. C. Send. D. Receive.
26. How long did Wang Yuying serve in Wuhan to fight against COVID-197
A. About 10 months. B. About 6 months.
C. About 4 months. D. About 2 months.
27. Which of the following can best describe Wang Yuying
A. Careful and considerate. B. Gentle and inspiring.
C. Creative and intelligent. D. Confident and patient.
C
The riche of the natural word aren't spread evenly across the globe Place like the tropical Andes(赤道安第斯山脉) in South America are packed with unique species no place else to be found on Earth. Previously, the main explanation for the biological riches concentrated in places like the Amazon Basin was that they were such places where new species evolved at a faster rate than other parts of the world. But now, new research on bird evolution may turn that assumption on its head. Instead, it supports the idea that areas with fewer species actually tend to produce new species faster.
The researchers say the biodiversity cold spots are generally found in harsher (更严酷的) environments featuring freezing, dry and unstable conditions, Though the researchers have found these locations with few bird species tend to produce new ones at high rates, they fail to accumulate many species because the unstable conditions frequently make the new life forms die out.
The more well-known hotspots, by contrast, have accumulated their large numbers of species by being warm, hospitable and relatively stable. Indeed, the researchers have found that the countless bird species that call the Amazon home tend to be older in evolutionary terms. That actually accounts for higher species richness there.
“Our results suggest that these hotspots for biodiversity are not hotspots for the evolution of new species,” says Elizabeth Derry berry, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Tennessee. “New species do form in places like the Amazon, just not as frequently as in more extreme environments.”
The researchers managed to collect 1,940 samples(样本) representing 1,287 of the 1,306 bird species from South America. Their analysis revealed that the best predictor of whether an area would produce new species at a high rate was how many species lived there, rather than climate or geographic features like mountains. Species rich areas tended to produce new species more slowly.
On a practical level, the study's findings add new urgency for stopping destroying ecosystems that may look dry and bare, because they may actually be nature's hothouses for the evolution of new species.
28. What is the previous explanation for biodiversity in the Amazon Basin
A. Its species' strong survival abilities.
B. The immigration of foreign species.
C. The rapid evolution of new species.
D. Its vast living space for new species.
29. Why do the bird species in the Amazon tend to be older
A. There's less competition and more chances.
B. It constantly attracts new species to come.
C. It had extreme environments a long time ago.
D. The environment there is stable and favorable.
30. The study's findings suggest that we should .
A. conserve harsh ecosystems
B. help species in hot areas live longer
C. develop species-rich environments
D. limit species in biodiversity cold spots
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. Bird species prefer to live in hasher ecosystems.
B. Species poor areas may produce new species faster
C. Tropical areas are home to large numbers of species.
D. Hot areas are more attractive to species than cold areas.
D
In the Hollywood industry, most of the studios are using AI to make movies for various reasons such as getting the actors out of danger, replacing the actors indifferent scenes, forming appealing atmosphere to enhance(增强) the views, etc.
Directors and producers are using VFX (Visual effects), animations and AI to make a model that looks like the actor and replaces the actor's place. In particular, AI is used in scenes where actor shave to produce certain stunts(特技) to develop setups in the studio artificially. VFX is used to later change the internal studio backgrounds to a different place in the movie.
There are many movies with two characters of the same actor. When AI was not a part of the film, editors used different methods to show the two aspects of the same actor in one scene, but now AI is being used to form the second character of the same actor and is being performed to the viewers.
By a perfect combination of animation, VFX and AI, realistic models are being created. And the most fun part is the fictitious character can hold the face of the actor but the age, hairstyles, and clothing can be changed to create more enhanced looks according to the movie scene and story. With the help of AI, the directors recreating appealing scenes to enhance the thrill and excitement. In Jurassic Park, no dinosaurs were running but with the help of AI and visual effects, we could enjoy the scenes and the atmospheres.
The directors and the producers direct to form a green screen including the obstacles and those green screens get replaced with the views that are made from AI and VFX, and the actors make the scenes alive and deliver the most suitable action-packed movie scenes. This method also enhances the viewers' experience, which makes the movie a blockbuster(大片).
32. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1
A. How AI helps actors.
B. What AI brings to movies.
C. Why AI is applied to movies.
D. Where AI is made full use of.
33. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. AI can be used as an editor.
B. Editors consider AI irreplaceable.
C. Editors used many methods to replace AI.
D. AI makes what used to be complex scenes easier.
34. What's the author's attitude to using VFX, animations and AI in movies
A. Supportive. B. Sceptical.
C. Unconcerned. D. Enthusiastic.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. What AI Brings Out Hollywood Movies
B. Why AI Is Applied to Hollywood Movies
C. Which Hollywood Movies Make Much Use of AI
D. How AI Is Being Applied to Hollywood Movies

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Winter is an amazing time of year to look for wildlife. Outdoors, the winter is like a silent, white Wonderland. 36 Many birds migrate (迁徙) for the winter and some animals go into hibernation (冬眠), so you may have to look a little harder to spot the wild animals you're looking for.
During the winter, many animals change their patterns in order to avoid the cold and preserve energy. When there is a lack of food, some animals go into hibernation; other dig into the ground and remain out of sight. 37 Some animals migrate to warmer climates during the winter.
Many animals that do not hibernate during the winter stay in their hidden caves more and move much less. It is important for these animals to preserve their energy by limiting their exposure to the cold and restricting their movements. Many animals also move to a different habitat where they are less exposed, so they find more sheltered habitats. 38
Snow is a great preserver of animal tracks. You may see the tracks of many different animals during your wildlife viewing expedition. 39 Even if the tracks are not fresh, it is interesting to see what animals do during the coldest season.
40 If you are patient, you may be lucky enough to see some wildlife. If you are impatient, you are likely to come away from your expedition without seeing any animals. Even if you don't have the chance to see any wildlife, winter wildlife viewing gives you the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of nature during the winter. If you do see some wildlife in the winter, it will be an experience to treasure forever.
A. However, the snow and the quiet make spotting wildlife more difficult.
B. Many animals change their coats in order to disguise themselves in the snow.
C. The most important skill to practice during winter wildlife viewing is patience.
D. When you do find animal tracks, you will be able to follow the movements of animals.
E. If you are quiet, you have a greater chance of finding an animal going about its business.
F. Unfortunately, you may be seeing tracks made by animals days earlier (depending on the weather ).
G. You will likely see the tracks of animals more often than the animals themselves during the winter.

“I can't decide!” Carter told his mom. He had a big decision to make, and he was annoyed over it.
“You have to decide. And soon!” Mom told him. “It's not fair for both boys to think you are coming to their parties. I think you should go to Tyler's party. He invited you first and you told him that you were going to come. Besides, it will be at the lake! You love to swim.”
“I know. But, Josh is having a go-kart party! We are all meeting at his house and then going to the go-kart track! That would be amazing!”
“Carter, I told you what I think you should do. But you're old enough to start making these kinds of decisions on your own. Either way, though, you need to tell the boys what you are doing today.
Four days later, Carter was leaving the house for Josh's party. He never did tell Josh or Tyler that he would not be attending their party. They were both expecting him to attend. He meant to tell Tyler that he wasn't coming, but he felt so bad about it. Tyler was his best friend. But go-karts! How could he possibly turn down the chance to drive go-kart around a racetrack Mom still had not asked him if he told Tyler about his decision. Carter was hoping she would not.
Carter was going to ride over to Josh's house. It's not that far. As Carter rode his bike toward Josh's house, he could feel the sun on his back. It was already a warm morning. A perfect day to be at the lake, he thought with a little regret. But there would be other days to swim at the lake. Today was go-kart day! He smiled and rode harder.
As he rode up Josh's driveway, he was surprised to see there were no cars in the driveway. That seemed odd. He missed the party! No go-karts! How could he have made that kind of mistake
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。
He thought Josh's party was at ten and Tyler's party was at nine. He hoped Mom wasn't looking out the window.

28.C细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Previously, the main explanation for the biological riches concentrated in places like the Amazon Basin was that they were such place where new species evolved at a faster rate than other parts of the world.(此前,对多样生物集中在亚马逊盆地这样的地方的主要解释是,在这些地方,新物种的进化速度比世界其他地方都快。)”可知,亚马逊地区生物多样性丰富之前的解释是因为该地区新物种进化的速度快。故选C项。
29.D细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句“The more well-known hot spots, by contrast, have accumulated their large numbers of species by being warm, hospitable and relatively stable. Indeed, the researchers have found that the countless bird species that call the Amazon home tend to be older in evolutionary terms.(相比之下,更为知名的热点地区则因气候温暖、环境适宜、相对稳定而积累了大量的物种。事实上,研究人员发现,无数种以亚马逊为家的鸟类在进化方面往往更为古老。)”可知,亚马逊地区的鸟类较古老是因为该地区宜居,物种不易死亡。故选D项。
30. A推理判断题。根据最后一段“On a practical level, the study's findings add new urgency for stopping destroying ecosystems that may look dry and bare, because they may actually be nature's hothouses for the evolution of new species.(在实际层面上,这项研究的发现为停止破坏那些看起来干燥、光秃秃的生态系统增添了新的紧迫感,因为它们实际上可能是自然界新物种进化的温室。)”可知,研究发现表明,严酷的生态环境有可能是新物种进化的温室,由此可推断,我们应该保护严酷的生态环境。故选A项。
31. B主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段最后一句“But now, new research on bird evolution may turn that assumption on its head. Instead, it supports the idea that areas with fewer species actually end to produce new species faster(但现在,有关鸟类进化的新研究可能会推翻这一假设,转而支持物种较少的地区实际上会更快地产生新物种的观点。)”可知,本文旨在说明物种较少的地方比生物多样性丰富的地区更频繁地孕育出新物种。故选B项。
