A new American weather satellite could save more lives by better predicting extreme weather conditions. The satellite was launched in the state of Florida on November 19, 2016. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, also known as NOAA, has been working with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on the project.
NOAA officials are calling the new satellite GOES-R. That is short for a much longer name the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R Series.
NOAA said GOES-R could improve the nation’s ability to observe weather conditions and make weather predictions. It said the satellite’s device would lead to more exact and timely weather forecasts, watches and warnings.
The government agency said the satellite will require testing of its six instruments and will be ready to work “within a year.” One of the six instruments on the satellite is designed to help scientists study lightning strikes and map them. This, NOAA says, will help the agency follow the movement of severe storms and provide more detailed warnings.
“The next generation of weather satellites is finally here,” said NOAA Administrator Kathryn Sullivan. She described GOES-R as one of the most effective Earth-observing machines ever created. Sullivan said its instruments will be able to study Earth five times faster and with four times more details than any other NOAA satellite currently in operation. An NOAA statement said the greater detail will help improve the agency’s study of ocean storms, as well as “the prediction and warnings of severe weather.” In addition, GOES-R will be able to provide improved rainfall estimates, which will lead to more timely and detailed flood warnings.
Craig Fugate, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA in short, says that the GOES-R satellite will improve the ability of people and organizations across America to prepare for, and react to, weather-related disasters.
4、What can we learn about the new weather satellite
A. It has been put into service for more than 5 months already.
B. It is the most effective Earth-observing machine ever made.
C. It works faster and provides more detailed information than any other American satellite.
D. It can help America to get prepared for and react to climate catastrophes better.
5、The satellite gets its name directly from ______.
A. NOAA B. NASA C. GOES-R D. FEMA
6、Why does the reporter quote the words from different people and organizations in the news
A. To show opinions vary from person to person.
B. To show the development of the satellite.
C. To convince the readers of superb functions of the satellite.
D. To prove they are authorities.
7、The passage mainly focuses on ______.
A. a new American satellite that can be used for military purposes
B. what the next generation of American weather satellites will be like
C. the fact that NOAA and NASA work together to develop a new technology
D. the comparison between a new satellite and the older ones

More and more birds are flying to settle in Qinghai Lake, one of the highest inland lakes in China, thanks to the protection efforts of the local government. Covering an area of over 4,000 square kilometers, Qinghai Lake is also the country's biggest salt lake.
Located in Qinghai Province of Northwest China, the lake is famous for the two islands at its northwest point—Cormorant Island and Egg Island. The two islands have plenty of floating grass and various fish, offering rich food sources to birds. The islands have become a paradise for different kinds of groups of birds and have been called "Bird Islands".
Each March and April, when ice and snow covering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau(高原) start to melt, over 20 kinds of birds fly to the Bird Islands to lay eggs. During the months, flocks of birds cover the whole sky over the islands and bird eggs can be found everywhere. Visitors can hear the singing of birds from miles away. These have become a world-famous symbol of the lake.
To protect this paradise for birds and support calls for ecological protection, China set up the Qinghai Lake National Natural Reserve at the end of 1997. Meanwhile, the State has pointed out that the Bird Islands and Spring Bay of Qinghai Lake were central reserves.
Inspectors and conservators often patrol(巡逻) the lake, enriching local residents' knowledge of related laws and spreading knowledge about animal protection to visitors. They are making great efforts to call on people to love and protect the birds. At the same time, they have built special fences around the island area to prevent wolves, foxes and other carnivorous animals, as well as illegal hunters from breaking up the birds' building nests, laying eggs and breeding(繁殖). As a result, more and more birds are coming to the islands for sheltering and breeding.
11、Why are more and more birds coining to the biggest salt lake in Northwest China

B.Because it is being reformed.
C.Because the environment is getting more agreeable to them to live in.

Is the end of homework near As new powerful artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT take the Internet by storm, teachers concerned with AI-driven cheating are questioning their teaching and assessment methods.
ChatGPT, the most powerful AI language model ever developed by the company OpenAI, remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. Deriving its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet, it is fine-tuned using both supervised and reinforcement learning. It is capable of generating natural-sounding text on demand in just a few seconds. The quality of the copy it produces is sufficient to impress teachers in secondary and higher education, and even researchers. A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.
The use of AI tools in copywriting has sparked an outcry around the world. In the United States, public schools in New York and Seattle have decided to block ChatGPT from their devices and WiFi networks. In France, the prestigious Sciences Po university in Paris has also just announced a strict ban on its use. But experts question whether bans like these are really effective. On one hand, students will always be able to access tools like ChatGPT through other means than school devices. On the other hand, some question the relevance of blocking access to a digital tool whose use is likely to grow in the professional world in the coming years.
Amelie Cordier, a lecturer in artificial intelligence at Lyon University, notes that students haven’t waited for ChatGPT to try to escape the chore of homework—whether by photocopying the library encyclopedia, copy-pasting content from Wikipedia or enlisting their parents’ help. “What is ultimately very important in the learning process is not so much the subject on which you learn, it’s the methodology that you learn to develop around that subject,” Cordier said.
15、Why does the author raise a question in paragraph 1
A. To imply a future trend.
B. To arouse the readers’ interest.
C. To introduce background knowledge.
D. To reveal the negative effects of artificial intelligence.
16、For what purpose does the author list figures in paragraph 2
A. To show the popularity of ChatGPT.
B. To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT.
C. To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.
D. To prove the necessity of developing tools for chatting online.
17、Which of the following is probably the reason for the experts’ question
A. Students can always employ AI tools in other ways.
B. Teachers and researchers are impressed by ChatGPT.
C. The bans have been announced only in the US and France.
D. AI tools have already been widely applied in professional fields.
18、What plays a critical role in learning according to Cordier
A. Parents’ help. B. The library encyclopedia.
C. The system of methods. D. The content from Wikipedia.
Don't call Madison Stewart an environmentalist. She sees herself simply as an individual taking action in defense of something she loves that's in need of protection.
Despite her youth, the 24-year-old is an undersea veteran(老手). She grew up sailing around the Great Barrier Reef on her parents’ boat and spent her early life free diving while patiently waiting for the day when she could get her scuba diving(水肺潜水) certification, aged 12. Already impressed by sharks, Madison was now pleased to be able to observe them in their own world. “I got to know the sharks ... I could recognize them by sight,' ’Madison says. “Other people had dogs around them growing up. I had sharks.”
But within a couple of years, she saw a great reduction in shark numbers on the reef. “One day I went in the water and couldn't find my sharks anywhere, sharks I'd spent my childhood with,” she says. “They'd been caught and killed.” It was a great moment for Madison.
She left school at 14 to be homeschooled so she could spend more time in the ocean. She taught herself to shoot underwater video to document sharks in their own world and share her sense of wonder with others. She launched a YouTube channel and built a huge following for her documentaries where she focuses on issues like inadequate protection for some shark species and the global shark fin(鳍) industry.
In 2014 Madison was the subject of the encouraging documentary Shark Girl, which introduced her to a global audience. In 2017 she appeared as an “Ocean Guardian” in the documentary Blue that explored a lot of threats to the world's marine environments, including the damaging effect of the global shark fishery. The film encourages viewers to get involved and includes practical steps to guide them to do so.

Dear Mr. Smith,
I'm Li Hua, a Chinese exchange student in your school. I'm writing to suggest including Mandarin Chinese courses in our current curriculum, given that many students here show ongoing strong interest in it(条件状语从句).
Known as one of the most spoken languages in the world(过去分词短语作状语) and with its growing in popularity worldwide, Mandarin Chinese has entered numerous classrooms in foreign countries. Besides, due to the rise of China's international influence, speaking Chinese fluently has become a highly valued professional skill. Furthermore, learning Chinese helps open a unique window into one of the world's richest and most ancient civilizations.
I hope you can take my suggestion into serious consideration(宾语从句). Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
