A(改编)
Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022.
Meta’s speech-to-speech translation
Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form.
Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text.
Method to identify Parkinson’s disease
Researchers announced a new Al method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the Al system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent.
Tool to interpret pig emotions
Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions.
The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.
Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings
Researchers — led by Alphabet’s AI company Deep Mind — said they developed an Al system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written.
The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent.
1. Which can be used for cross-cultural communication
A. Tool to interpret pig emotions. B. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation.
C. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease. D. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings.
2. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca
A. A farmer. B. A doctor. C. A botanist. D. An archeologist.
3. What do the inventions have in common
A. They focus on health issues. B. They are developed by Facebook.
C. They aim to promote productivity. D. They are AI-driven technology tools.

B(改编)
About 20 years ago, while on the way to a student’s house, Zhang Guimei, then a rural teacher in Huaping county, Ljiang, Yunnan province, noticed a girl sitting on the hillside. The girl, 13, told Zhang she was about to get married though she wanted to go to school. It was arranged by her parents.
Zhang went to her house and tried to persuade her parents to let the girl return to school and promised to pay for her tuition herself. However they didn’t agree. Zhang felt sorry for not being able to help. “We always say that each child should stand on the same starting line, but these girls didn’t even have a chance to get on the track,” Zhang said.
It persuaded Zhang to build a free high school for girls with the aim of helping break the cycle that saw women drop out of education, marry early and spend their whole life in the remote mountain. He met many difficulties in building up the school. Zhang had spent years trying to raise funds. However, what troubled Zhang most was how she could change the villagers’ thoughts. Over the decades, Zhang has walked thousands of kilometers, visiting students’ families in the deep mountain, talking to villagers, and persuading girls to go back to school. In the end, all work paid off. In 2008, Huaping High School for Girls. a free public high school, was founded, where Zhang is the principal An efforts have been worth It. More than 1,800 graduates have been admitted to college. It is regarded as a “miracle” in the remote area, as most students didn’t perform well in academic study before the school was established.
Though lacking full health, Zhang insists on a daily routine—get up around 5 a.m. to call students to get up with a loudspeaker, accompany students to classes and sleep after senior students’ study ends at midnight. Zhang’s husband died in the 1990s. She doesn’t have children or a house, so she lives at the student dormitory. Besides girls in her school, Zhang also donates all her income to help rural education and poor people.
In early December, she was given the honor of the country’s “role model for teachers” and “outstanding woman”. Her commitment to her education career inspires thousands of people.
4. Why did Zhang feel sorry when the girl’s parents refused to let the girl return to school
A. The girl had to marry a man who was much older than her.
B. The girl was unable to find a high school nearby to continue her education.
C. The girl didn’t even have the chance to complete her education.
D. The girl’s family was too poor to pay for her tuition fees.
5. What is probably the biggest challenge for Zhang to build the free school for girls
A. The local government didn’t offer the land for the school.
B. Few parents support their girls’ going to school.
C. Not many girls want to attend this school.
D. It was not easy for Zhang to get enough money to build the school.
6. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Most students didn’t study well before Huaping High School for Girls was founded.
B. Many girls from Huaping High School for Girls have gone to college.
C. Huaping High School for Girls was founded.
D. Many girls can go to Huaping High School for Girls for free.
7. What is the main idea of this passage
A. A teacher who shows girls how to reach the top.
B. Huaping Higb School for Girls.
C. Inspiring stories of girls’ education.
D. A teacher committed to girls’ education in rural country.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了农村教师张桂梅在一个辍学女生的启发下，花费了多年努力，创办了免费公立高中华坪女子高级中学，旨在帮助打破女性辍学、早婚和在偏远山区度过一生的恶性循环。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Zhang felt sorry for not being able to help. “We always say that each child should stand on the same starting line, but these girls didn’t even have a chance to get on the track,” Zhang said.(张很抱歉没能帮上忙。“我们总是说每个孩子都应该站在同一条起跑线上，但这些女孩甚至没有机会走上跑道，”张说)”可推知，张桂梅感到难过的原因是女孩们甚至都没有机会完成她们应该接受的教育。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Zhang went to her house and tried to persuade her parents to let the girl return to school and promised to pay for her tuition herself. However, they didn’t agree.(张校长去了她的家，试图说服她的父母让女孩回到学校，并承诺自己支付学费。然而，他们不同意)”以及第三段中“Over the decades, Zhang has walked thousands of kilometers, visiting students’ families in the deep mountain, talking to villagers, and persuading girls to go back to school.(在过去的几十年里，张老师走了几千公里的路，走访深山中的学生家庭，与村民交谈，说服女孩们重返校园)”可推知，张桂梅办免费的女子高中最大的挑战是试图说服女孩们的父母们，让孩子重返校园，可是很少有父母支持他们的女儿上学。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“More than 1,800 graduates have been admitted to college.(1800多名毕业生被大学录取)”以及后文“is regarded as a “miracle” in the remote area, as most students didn’t perform well in academic study before the school was established(……被认为是偏远地区的“奇迹”，因为在学校成立之前，大多数学生在学业上都表现不佳)”可知，“1800多名毕业生被大学录取”这件事在这个偏远的地区被认为是一个奇迹，因为在这所学校建立之前，大多数学生的学习成绩并不好。故It指的就是“来自华坪女子高级中学的很多女孩上了大学”这件事。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In early December, she was given the honor of the country’s “role model for teachers” and “outstanding woman”. Her commitment to her education career inspires thousands of people.(12月初，她被授予全国“教师榜样”和“杰出女性”荣誉。她对教育事业的投入激励了成千上万的人)”以及文章主要讲述了张桂梅为了农村女孩受教育所付出的努力。故D项“致力于农村女孩教育的教师”符合主旨大意。故选D。
C(改编)
Cats communicate a variety of messages using cats’ body language. Examples include arching ( 弓起) their backs as a signal of fear or attack and slowly blinking (眨) their eyes to signal relaxation. The open mouth without showing teeth suggests a feeling of playfulness. A cat which chooses to lie on its back shows happiness, trust and comfort. Cats show dissatisfaction by moving their ears back, equal to a human’s frown.
As is the case with dogs, a twitching (抽动) tail can mean a little anger while a tail held high suggests confidence. Cats will twitch their tails when hunting or angry, while a larger twitch suggests displeasure. They may also twitch their tails when playing. A tail held high is a sign of happiness, or can be used as a greeting towards humans or other cats (usually close relatives) while a half-raised tail shows less pleasure, and unhappiness is expressed with a tail held low.
Some signals, however, are often misunderstood. It is important to keep in mind that each cat may show its feelings with different body language. For instance, a cat rubbing its body along an arm or a leg of its owner is not only a way to attract attention and, perhaps, a way to ask for food; it is also a way of “marking” its owner as its own. Usually a cat with its tail held high and twitching shows excitement, but this is often mistaken for anger.
Many people fail or are too slow to understand the silent body language of cats. And they may have the false impression that cats are cold-hearted, unfaithful or not clever. To understand cats, people must observe a cat closely and learn what its body signals tell them.
8. Which cats’ body language shows that a cat is relaxed
A. Holding its tail high. B. Moving its ears back.
C. Lying on its stomach. D. Blinking its eyes slowly.
9. According to the passage, which is wrong
A. A cat will twitch its tail when it feels sleepy.
B. A cat will twitch its tail when it is hunting.
C. A cat will twitch its tail when it feels angry.
D. A cat will twitch its tail when it is playing.
10. How many meanings does a cat’s rubbing its body along its owner have
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
11. What does the last paragraph intend to tell us
A. Every cat has its own special body language.
B. It is not easy to understand cats’ body language.
C. Many people often have wrong opinions on cats.
D. We should learn more about cats’ body language.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要描述了猫的一些肢体语言，以便人们能更好地了解它们，同时告诉人们要多观察猫的肢体语言。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Examples include arching ( 弓起) their backs as a signal of fear or attack, and slowly blinking (眨) their eyes to signal relaxation.”（弓起它们的背作为害怕或者攻击的信号，并且缓慢的眨眼睛作为放松的信号。）可知，猫放松时的身体语言是缓慢眨眼睛。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Cats will twitch their tails when hunting or angry, while a larger twitch suggests displeasure. They may also twitch their tails when playing.”（猫在捕猎或生气的时候会抽动尾巴，然而较大的抽动则表示不高兴。它们在玩耍时也可能会抖动尾巴。）可知，猫只有在捕猎、生气和玩耍时抽动尾巴，B、C、D三项都包括在内，只有A项中没有提到。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“For instance, a cat rubbing its body along an arm or a leg of its owner is not only a way to attract attention and, perhaps, a way to ask for food; it is also a way of “marking” its owner as its own.”（例如，一只猫沿着主人的手臂或腿摩擦身体不仅是一种吸引注意的方式，也是一种索要食物的方式；也是将主人标记为“己有”的一种方式。）可知，猫在主人身上蹭来蹭去，可能是想要引起主人的注意，也有可能是想要吃的东西，或者是表明它对主人的占有，所以猫摩擦身体的肢体语言具有三种含义。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“To understand cats, people must observe a cat closely and learn what its body signals tell them.”（要了解猫，人们必须近距离观察猫并且了解它的身体信号告诉了人们什么。）可知，要了解猫，人们要做的就是观察它们的身体信号，换句话说就是人们应该多观察猫的身体语言。故选D项。
D(改编)
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has to recall (召回) hundreds of foods every year. Like cookie snack packs with pieces of blue plastic hiding inside, dressing and sauce containing salmonella (沙门氏菌) or various jams containing with lead (铅).
It can take a few months before a recall is issued. But now researchers have come up with a method that might fast-track that process, leading to early detection and, ultimately, faster recalls. The AI system relies on the fact that people increasingly buy foods and spices (调味料) online. And people tend to write review s of products they buy online, which are like bread crumbs (面包屑) to food-safety officials sniffing (嗅) out dangerous products.
The researchers linked FDA food recalls from 2012 to 2014 to Amazon reviews of those same products. They then trained machine-learning algorithms (算法) to distinguish between reviews for recalled items and reviews for items that had not been flagged. And the trained algorithms were able to predict FDA recalls three quarters of the time. They also identified another 20,000 reviews for possibly unsafe foods, most of which had never been recalled. The results are published in Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association.
The World Health Organization estimates that 600 million people worldwide get sick annually from polluted food, and more than 400,000 people die from it. “So having tools that enable us to detect this a lot faster and hopefully investigate and do recalls faster will be useful not just in the U. S. but in other countries around the world as well.” Study author Elaine Nsoesie of Boston University. She did add one warning: even recalled products can still get five-star reviews. So stars alone don’t tell the whole sickening story. The proof, unfortunately, may still be in the pudding.
12. What will help FDA recall unsafe foods faster than before
A. Efforts of food-safety officials. B. Online reviews of the polluted foods.
C. Lots of online reviews of products. D. New measures of food-safety officials.
13. How does the author introduce the process of the research
A. By asking customers. B. By describing facts.
C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons.
14. What’s Elaine’s attitude towards five-star reviews
A. Doubtful. B. Careless.
C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
15. Which may be the most suitable title for the text
A. FDA Detects Unsafe Foods
B. AI Sniffs out Unsafe Foods
C. FDA Develops System of Judging Reviews
D. AI Helps FDA Judge Reviews much better
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究者开发了一种新的AI系统，通过网上对产品的评论快速地筛选出不安全食品。
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“And people tend to write reviews of products they buy online, which are like bread crumbs (包屑) to food-safety officials sniffing (嗅) out dangerous products.(人们倾向于对他们在网上购买的产品进行评论，这对食品安全官员来说就像面包屑一样，可以嗅出危险的产品)”和第三段第一句“The researchers linked FDA food recalls from 2012 to 2014 to amazon reviews of those same products.(研究人员将2012年至2014年的FDA食品召回与亚马逊对这些相同产品的评论联系起来)”可知，大量的网上关于产品的评论有助于FDA比以前更快地召回不安全食品。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The researchers linked FDA food recalls from 2012 to 2014 to amazon reviews of those same products. They then trained machine-learning algorithms (算法) to distinguish between reviews for recalled items and reviews for items that had not been flagged.(研究人员将2012年至2014年FDA食品召回与亚马逊对这些产品的评论联系起来。然后，他们训练机器学习算法，以区分召回项目的评论和未标记项目的评论)”和“They also identified another 20, 000 reviews for possibly unsafe foods, most of which had never been recalled.(他们还发现了另外2万份可能不安全食品的评论，其中大部分从未被召回)”可推知，作者是通过描述事实来介绍研究过程的。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“She did add one warning: even recalled products can still get five-star reviews. So stars alone don’t tell the whole sickening story. The proof unfortunately, may still be in the pudding.(她确实添加了一个警告：即使召回的产品仍然可以获得五星评论。因此，仅靠星级并不能说明整个令人作呕的故事。不幸的是，证据可能还在布丁里)”可推知，Elaine对五星评论持有怀疑的态度。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“It can take a few months before a recall is issued. But now researchers have come up with a method that might fast-track that process, leading to early detection and, ultimately, faster recalls. The AI system relies on the fact that people increasingly buy foods and spices(调味料) online.(召回可能需要几个月的时间。但现在研究人员已经提出了一种方法，可以快速跟踪这一过程，从而早期发现并最终更快地召回。人工智能系统依赖于人们越来越多地在网上购买食品和香料的事实)”可知，本文主要介绍了研究者开发了一种新的AI系统，通过网上对产品的评论快速地筛选出不安全食品。由此可知，B项“人工智能会嗅出不安全的食物”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B项。

The pond was always o alive with activity, and sometimes Alex discovered turtles(乌龟) sunbathing on suing rocks Alex as curious about turtles. When it was too rainy to go canoeing, he often went to the library to check out books on turtles,
Now it looked like tomorrow might be another sunny day. He decided to ask Dad if they could go canoeing and look for turtles again. Suddenly Alex saw something in the road up ahead. It looked like a big gray rock. But it was a funny place for a rock to be. He jumped off to have a look.
And then, the rock started to move! It was actually a large turtle slowly making its way across the road! Alex knew right away it was a snapping turtle.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a car approaching The turtle was still only halfway across the road Alex knew he couldn’t pick it up because snapping turtles have a powerful bite and they could even bite off someone’s finger! What could he do
Thinking fast, he started waving both hands wildly. “Stop! Stop!” he cried. The car slowed to a stop.
“Are you alight, Alex ” It was his neighbor, Mrs. Ramos.
“I’m fine, Mrs. Ram’s.” said Alex. “I’m just trying to save a turtle. It’s probably going to lay egg.”
“Oh, yeah. It’s spring.” said Mrs. Ram’s. “So, I guess a lot of turtles need to lay their eggs in the grass across the road.” Then she waved goodbye and drove off.
Alex thought about what Mrs. Ram’s had said. “There would probably be more turtles trying to cross the road at this spot!” he realized. But he couldn’t stand there all day trying to stop cars. He looked around and a road sign caught his eye. And then his face brightened.
He jumped on his bike and raced home to find Dad.

A(改编)
Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022.
Meta’s speech-to-speech translation
Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form.
Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text.
Method to identify Parkinson’s disease
Researchers announced a new Al method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the Al system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent.
Tool to interpret pig emotions
Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions.
The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.
Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings
Researchers — led by Alphabet’s AI company Deep Mind — said they developed an Al system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written.
The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent.
1. Which can be used for cross-cultural communication
A. Tool to interpret pig emotions. B. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation.
C. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease. D. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings.
2. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca
A. A farmer. B. A doctor. C. A botanist. D. An archeologist.
3. What do the inventions have in common

About 20 years ago, while on the way to a student’s house, Zhang Guimei, then a rural teacher in Huaping county, Ljiang, Yunnan province, noticed a girl sitting on the hillside. The girl, 13, told Zhang she was about to get married though she wanted to go to school. It was arranged by her parents.
Zhang went to her house and tried to persuade her parents to let the girl return to school and promised to pay for her tuition herself. However, they didn’t agree. Zhang felt sorry for not being able to help. “We always say that each child should stand on the same starting line, but these girls didn’t even have a chance to get on the track,” Zhang said.
It persuaded Zhang to build a free high school for girls with the aim of helping break the cycle that saw women drop out of education, marry early and spend their whole life in the remote mountain. He met many difficulties in building up the school. Zhang had spent years trying to raise funds. However, what troubled Zhang most was how she could change the villagers’ thoughts. Over the decades, Zhang has walked thousands of kilometers, visiting students’ families in the deep mountain, talking to villagers, and persuading girls to go back to school. In the end, all work paid off. In 2008, Huaping High School for Girls. a free public high school, was founded, where Zhang is the principal An efforts have been worth It. More than 1,800 graduates have been admitted to college. It is regarded as a “miracle” in the remote area, as most students didn’t perform well in academic study before the school was established.
Though lacking full health, Zhang insists on a daily routine—get up around 5 a.m. to call students to get up with a loudspeaker, accompany students to classes and sleep after senior students’ study ends at midnight. Zhang’s husband died in the 1990s. She doesn’t have children or a house, so she lives at the student dormitory. Besides girls in her school, Zhang also donates all her income to help rural education and poor people.
In early December, she was given the honor of the country’s “role model for teachers” and “outstanding woman”. Her commitment to her education career inspires thousands of people.
4. Why did Zhang feel sorry when the girl’s parents refused to let the girl return to school
A. The girl had to marry a man who was much older than her.
B. The girl was unable to find a high school nearby to continue her education.
C. The girl didn’t even have the chance to complete her education.
D. The girl’s family was too poor to pay for her tuition fees.
5. What is probably the biggest challenge for Zhang to build the free school for girls
A. The local government didn’t offer the land for the school.
B. Few parents support their girls’ going to school.
C. Not many girls want to attend this school.
D It was not easy for Zhang to get enough money to build the school.
6. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Most students didn’t study well before Huaping High School for Girls was founded.
B. Many girls from Huaping High School for Girls have gone to college.
C. Huaping High School for Girls was founded.
D. Many girls can go to Huaping High School for Girls for free.

C. Inspiring stories of girls’ education.
D A teacher committed to girls’ education in rural country.

Cats communicate a variety of messages using cats’ body language. Examples include arching ( 弓起) their backs as a signal of fear or attack, and slowly blinking (眨) their eyes to signal relaxation. The open mouth without showing teeth suggests a feeling of playfulness. A cat which chooses to lie on its back shows happiness, trust and comfort. Cats show dissatisfaction by moving their ears back, equal to a human’s frown.
As is the case with dogs, a twitching (抽动) tail can mean a little anger while a tail held high suggests confidence. Cats will twitch their tails when hunting or angry, while a larger twitch suggests displeasure. They may also twitch their tails when playing. A tail held high is a sign of happiness, or can be used as a greeting towards humans or other cats (usually close relatives) while a half-raised tail shows less pleasure, and unhappiness is expressed with a tail held low.
Some signals, however, are often misunderstood. It is important to keep in mind that each cat may show its feelings with different body language. For instance, a cat rubbing its body along an arm or a leg of its owner is not only a way to attract attention and, perhaps, a way to ask for food; it is also a way of “marking” its owner as its own. Usually a cat with its tail held high and twitching shows excitement, but this is often mistaken for anger.
Many people fail or are too slow to understand the silent body language of cats. And they may have the false impression that cats are cold-hearted, unfaithful or not clever. To understand cats, people must observe a cat closely and learn what its body signals tell them.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has to recall (召回) hundreds of foods every year. Like cookie snack packs with pieces of blue plastic hiding inside, dressing and sauce containing salmonella (沙门氏菌) or various jams containing with lead (铅).
It can take a few months before a recall is issued. But now researchers have come up with a method that might fast-track that process, leading to early detection and, ultimately, faster recalls. The AI system relies on the fact that people increasingly buy foods and spices (调味料) online. And people tend to write review s of products they buy online, which are like bread crumbs (面包屑) to food-safety officials sniffing (嗅) out dangerous products.
The researchers linked FDA food recalls from 2012 to 2014 to Amazon reviews of those same products. They then trained machine-learning algorithms (算法) to distinguish between reviews for recalled items and reviews for items that had not been flagged. And the trained algorithms were able to predict FDA recalls three quarters of the time. They also identified another 20,000 reviews for possibly unsafe foods, most of which had never been recalled. The results are published in Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association.
The World Health Organization estimates that 600 million people worldwide get sick annually from polluted food, and more than 400,000 people die from it. “So having tools that enable us to detect this a lot faster and hopefully investigate and do recalls faster will be useful not just in the U. S. but in other countries around the world as well.” Study author Elaine Nsoesie of Boston University. She did add one warning: even recalled products can still get five-star reviews. So stars alone don’t tell the whole sickening story. The proof, unfortunately, may still be in the pudding.
12. What will help FDA recall unsafe foods faster than before
A Efforts of food-safety officials. B. Online reviews of the polluted foods.
C. Lots of online reviews of products. D. New measures of food-safety officials.
13. How does the author introduce the process of the research
A. By asking customers. B. By describing facts.
C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons.
14. What’s Elaine’s attitude towards five-star reviews
A. Doubtful. B. Careless.
C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
15. Which may be the most suitable title for the text
A. FDA Detects Unsafe Foods
B. AI Sniffs out Unsafe Foods
C. FDA Develops System of Judging Reviews
D. AI Helps FDA Judge Reviews much better

Alex rode his bike on his way home, and Johnson’s Pond came into view.
Sometimes his dad took him canoeing(划独木舟) there, and Alex loved it. The pond was always o alive with activity, and sometimes Alex discovered turtles(乌龟) sunbathing on suing rocks Alex as curious about turtles. When it was too rainy to go canoeing, he often went to the library to check out books on turtles,
Now it looked like tomorrow might be another sunny day. He decided to ask Dad if they could go canoeing and look for turtles again. Suddenly Alex saw something in the road up ahead. It looked like a big gray rock. But it was a funny place for a rock to be. He jumped off to have a look.
And then, the rock started to move! It was actually a large turtle slowly making its way across the road! Alex knew right away it was a snapping turtle.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a car approaching The turtle was still only halfway across the road Alex knew he couldn’t pick it up because snapping turtles have a powerful bite and they could even bite off someone’s finger! What could he do
Thinking fast, he started waving both hands wildly. “Stop! Stop!” he cried. The car slowed to a stop.
“Are you alight, Alex ” It was his neighbor, Mrs. Ramos.
“I’m fine, Mrs. Ram’s.” said Alex. “I’m just trying to save a turtle. It’s probably going to lay egg.”
“Oh, yeah. It’s spring.” said Mrs. Ram’s. “So, I guess a lot of turtles need to lay their eggs in the grass across the road.” Then she waved goodbye and drove off.
Alex thought about what Mrs. Ram’s had said. “There would probably be more turtles trying to cross the road at this spot!” he realized. But he couldn’t stand there all day trying to stop cars. He looked around and a road sign caught his eye. And then his face brightened.
He jumped on his bike and raced home to find Dad.

The next morning, Dad and Alex drove to the pond with the wooden sign in the car.
