I was talking to my friend Sandy about our children. Sandy had recently moved into the neighborhood with her four kids: Jane, Joe, Christopher, and her youngest, eighteen-month-old Kim. She seemed happy to have kids nearby, until she saw our dog, Sam.
Sam, our shiny black dog, loved to play with the kids and protect them. But Sandy had a fear of dogs, and she started to back away as Sam approached. I grabbed Sam’s collar and made him sit, trying to ease Sandy’s discomfort.
Sandy mentioned that she needed to get her kids ready to go to their grandmother’s house. Just then, her door opened and her kids rushed out. Sandy shouted at them to stay away from Sam.
The kids huddled (蜷缩) around their mom, looking at Sam cautiously (谨慎地). Emma, my daughter, showed the kids how to approach a dog slowly and properly. The kids were won over by Sam’s friendly nature, but I knew it would take some time for Sandy to change her viewpoint.
After that incident, we made sure that Sam didn’t go near our neighbors without me present. One day, when the kids were playing across the street, I noticed the eighteen-month-old baby heading towards a small hill. I saw a car approaching and shouted to everyone to watch the baby. Without hesitation, Sam rushed out the door and ran across the street towards the baby. He ran to the boy in time to gently push the baby away from the oncoming car. The kids cheered, completely unaware of the danger. They thought Sam had come to play.
Within a year, Sam had made friends with all the neighbors. Even Sandy started to warm up to Sam and would occasionally come over to give him a hug.

When you go on vacation next time, make sure to take lots of pictures of the wildlife you see. These photos can help save different types of wildlife because of a new field called “imageomics”. Imageomics uses computers to study pictures of wildlife and learn information from them.
Until recently, scientists didn’t have the technology to analyze (分析) the data in wildlife photos. But now, machine learning and computer vision are helping researchers unlock valuable information hidden in these images.
There are platforms where people can share their wildlife photos, like eBird, iNaturalist and Wildbook. These platforms help scientists keep track of different species and create databases. If you have rare (稀有的) photos of wildlife, it’s a good idea to share them on these platforms.
Scientists have limited time and resources to study all endangered wildlife in the world. By using artificial intelligence (人工智能) to analyze public photos, we can learn more about different species and their behaviors. This technology can even help us find things in photos that humans might miss.
It’s important to use the collected information responsibly and protect it from poachers (偷猎者). If we do that, imageomics can not only help save wildlife but also contribute to other fields like medicine and agriculture.
8. How can imageomics help scientists study wildlife
A. By offering information from wildlife.
B. By analyzing the data in wildlife photos.
C. By analyzing the trend of human population.
D. By knowing the origin of biological processes.
9. What are the platforms where people can share their wildlife photos
A. eBird, iNaturalist and Wildbook.
B. Imageomics, eBird and Wildbook.
C. Imageomics, eBird and iNaturalist.
D. Photos of wildlife, iNaturalist and Wildbook.
10. Why should people share their rare wildlife photos on platforms
A. To appreciate the beauty of wildlife.
B. To contribute to the public safety.
C. To help scientists study wildlife.
D. To inspire others to protect nature.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Computers help identify the biological features
B. Poachers stop killing threatened animals
C. Photos can protect our environment
D. Photos can save wild species
D
In the past generations, our ancestors (祖先) lived with the simplest way. When science and technology materialize, there are various development s in the world that change and improve the way of living of people. As years go by, more and more innovations (创新) were created by applying the ideas of science and technologies. Most of these have positive effects on the society but some of these were harmful in certain ways. However, the importance of science and technology can’t be denied.
Science and innovation have mainly affected society, and their effect is developing. It makes life simpler and makes people more gainful. This change has positive and negative effects. The benefit is making life simpler while the other side is that it makes individuals needy and lazier. By making life simpler, science has allowed man to seek for cultural concerns to improve human conditions.
Science and technology can shape the general public we live in very well and can make us feel simpler, safer and increasingly gainful. However, it also can be used wrongly, which can harm many blameless lives. We must think for our own progress as well as for the improvement of each person of this planet that we call our own home.
In short, science and innovation have made a great contribution to our lives. They may also be related to us greatly. In this way, their effects will depend on how we follow up on them. In addition, if we see the more brilliant side of innovation, it is the foundation of national construction.
12. What does the underlined word “materialize” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Return. B. Appear. C. Stay. D. Go.
13. What is the author’s attitude towards science and technology
A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.
14. Which of the following is the effect of science
A. A better living condition. B. People becoming less adaptive.
C. People becoming determined. D. A colorful history.
15. What should we do when using science and technology
A. Improve studying standard. B. Help the disabled.
C. Think for other people. D. Treat wildlife equally.

How to Keep Communication Brief but Effective
Say many things, and people will remember none. Say some things, and people will remember some. Say ONE thing, and people will remember ALL. Want to express clear viewpoints 16 .
Express more, explain less. 17 . We think the audience doesn’t understand something, so we explain it. But in that case, explaining serves to correct a failed expression. When you focus on expressing points instead of explaining ideas, you’ll communicate more precisely (精确地). Expressing and delivering are more important about what your audience hears and receives.
18 . Wherever you see a list of words or concepts (概念), ask yourself: Do I need all these words or concepts to attract my audience’s attention or are some of them not needed When you remove less important ideas, your audience will gain more.
Limit paragraphs to three sentences. If you’re writing your idea in a document or email, try to make paragraphs to three sentences or less. This makes it easier for readers to understand your points because they have less content to process. And because you’re writing in short, direct points compared with long pieces of text, you may find yourself writing less overall. 19 .
Hear your own words. No matter how much you review your own writing, hearing it aloud will always identify places to cut. 20 . When you say even one word more than you need to, you make your point one word hard er for your audience to receive.
A. Remove unnecessary ideas
B. Know your “Need-to-Know”
C. These four tips shouldn’t be missed
D. You can’t change the style of your writing
E. Explaining is often an understanding behavior
F. Everyone benefits from applying this writing rule
G. You can read it aloud yourself to find out the words
