As the founder of the ASPCA (美国防止虐待动物协会), Henry Bergh is considered to be a national hero. He made America a safer place for animals.
Henry Bergh was born in a rich family in New York City in 1813. When he was about fifty years old, he was offered a government job in Russia.
While in Russia, Henry Bergh saw that animals were treated badly. Because of his high position in the government, he had the power to order them to stop. It was then that he decided to give animals a better life in the United States.
Before returning to the USA, Henry Bergh met the Earl (伯爵) of Harrowby in London. The Earl of Harrowby supported animal rights and served as president of the RSPCA in England. After spending some time with the Earl, Henry Bergh had gained the knowledge that he needed to start his own animal protection organization and hurried home to introduce his idea to the American people.
In April 1866, Henry Bergh became successful in helping to pass the first law that made it illegal (违法的) to harm animals. A few days later, Henry Bergh started the ASPCA. He worked as the first president of the organization.
Soon, the ASPCA became popular all over the country.

On May 2, the Writers Guild of America (WGA, 美国编剧协会) called on its 11,500 members to begin a strike (罢工) in Hollywood, California, and New York City in the US. It is the first writers’ strike in more than 15 years, causing many new projects to stop.
________①________ One big issue behind the WGA strike is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) programs. The WGA demanded that AI not be allowed to write or rewrite literary (文学的) material or be used as source material.
Creative AI programs like ChatGPT can now create human-like literary works. Writers are worried that media companies might someday use AI instead of people to make scripts (剧本) for movies and TV shows. This might bring plagiarism (抄袭) problems as AI usually creates scripts based on a writer’s work. _______②________
________③________ At the same time, using Al to write scripts has a big impact on writers’ pay. As Warren Leight, an executive producer (执行制片人), said, studios might let AI create a first draft (草稿), then hire people to do a second draft, which pays less. This makes writers want to “nip that in the bud”
AI is already being used in the entertainment industry in other ways, such as making actors appear younger and removing (删除) dirty words, said Fortune magazine.
________④________ As James Perry, a TV actor and vice-chair (副主席) of the WGA’s Disabled Writers Committee told Reuters, “This is a crisis (危机) for writers.”
36. What is the main reason for the WGA members strike
A. Many writers cannot find jobs.
B. The writers want a raise.
C. Writers don’t want AI to be used to create and rewrite scripts.
D. Many new projects were recently stopped.
37. What do the plagiarism problems in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Writers creating scripts based on AI drafts.
B. Writers copying other writers’ works.
C. AI producing no creative works.
D. AI writing scripts based on a writer’s works.
38. What does the underlined sentence mean
A. Writers are happy to see that. B. Writers want to stop that from happening. C. Writers don’t care about that. D. Writers thinks it’s possible.
39. In which place can this sentence “Although AI is not set to replace human writers anytime soon, the possibility is still there.” be put
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
40. What might be James Perry’s idea
A. AI brings a sense of crisis to writers.
B. AI is affecting the industry in a positive way.
C. AI will replace writers soon.
D. AI doing most jobs is a historical trend.
D
Every winter, Siberian cranes migrate from northeast Siberia in Russia to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi province, China. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season there. However, climate change has endangered the birds habitats.
“In some years, the Poyang Lake experiences floods, while in others, it experiences droughts. Both of these create food shortages in the cranes’ habitat,” Qian Fawen, a researcher from the National Bird Banding Center of China, told China Daily.
To help deal with the problem, the local government has built 70 hectares of lotus roots in Nanchang to provide food during the winter for the cranes. The birds’ population has risen from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years, according to Qian.
Over the years, China has worked hard to protect migratory birds and wetlands. Known as the “Earth’s kidneys (肾脏)”, wetlands play a key role in cleaning water, preventing floods, and helping with biodiversity (生物多样性). The Wetlands Protection Law was introduced on June 1, 2022. It stops building work on important national wetlands and bans activities such as overgrazing (过度放牧) and giving out wastewater.
Thanks to these efforts, China has reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands. In February, black-faced spoonbills (黑脸琵鹭), an endangered species were seen wintering at Dongting Lake after disappearing for five years. Last December, Shanghai Chongming Dongtan Bird National Nature Reserve recorded more than 2900 tundra swans (小天鹅) up from some 1,000 seen during the winter of 2021.
The bird population is rising in Nanchang because _________.
A. climate change doesn’t affect the place B. the city offers more food for birds
C. extreme weather hasn’t hit the city D. the city becomes warmer and warmer
42. What is the main role wetlands play
A. Providing habitats for migratory birds. B. Looking after water and biodiversity C. Saving endangered animal species. D. Avoiding overgrazing and water pollution.
43. Paragraph 4 is mainly written to show _________.
A. what China has done to protect migratory birds and wetlands
B. why the bird population in Nanchang rises quickly
C. when the Wetlands Protection Law was introduced
D. how China deals with water pollution and overgrazing
44. What do the examples in Paragraph 5 show
A. Migratory birds add biodiversity to China.
B. New bird species come to China for winter.
C. China has completed its wetlands protection.
D. China’s environmental protection is successful.
45. What is the structure of the story
