A woman in a cap wanders calmly along. Except for the lava（熔岩） erupting behind her, she could be walking in the park. The woman turns to watch the molten rock flow for a moment then walks calmly toward the camera. The footage（镜头） is from Werner Herzog's book to volcanoes and volcano hunters, Into the Inferno, and the woman pictured is perhaps one of the most important volcanologists of all time, Katia Krafft.
Born in France, in 1942, Katia developed an interest in volcanoes at an early age. Later, she met Maurice Krafft. The pair bonded over their shared love of volcanoes before marrying in 1970. The Kraffts wrote about 20 books on volcanoes across the globe.
Katia and her husband made great progress in educating the general public in volcanology. Their footage had more than scientific value. For instance, when Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines began to show signs of an eruption in 1991, the Kraffts were able to present Philippine President Cory Aquino with video footage of the effects of the 1985 eruption of Nevado del Ruiz in Colombia, asking him to call for an evacuation of those in the danger zone.
In 1969, Katia was awarded the prize of the Vocation Foundation for her work on active volcanic sites.
The couple lost their lives, along with more than 40 others during the eruption of Mount Unzen in Japan on June 3.1991. when they were caught in a flow of rock, gas and ash moving at speeds of over 100 miles per hour, with temperatures of more than 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Katia was 49; Maurice, 45.
Katia's impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has encouraged many young women to study our restless planet. "Katia Krafft is definitely the reason why I'm doing this job," says Carla Tiraboschi, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Minster, Germany. Carla first saw Katia in a documentary when she was just six or seven years old and has been crazy about volcanoes ever since.
24. What can we infer from the book Into the Inferno
A. Its author is Katia Krafft. B. It's a biography of Katia Krafft.
C. It calls on protecting the environment. D. It focuses on volcanoes and their explorers.
25. What do we know about the couple
A. They prevented a natural disaster.
B. They served as a warning in Japan.
C. They helped spread volcano science.
D. They covered Mount Pinatubo's eruption.
26. Which can replace the underlined word "evacuation" in paragraph 3
A. Substance. B. Departure. C. Occupation. D. Intervention.
27. How did Katia influence Carla Tiraboschi
A. Katia's death made her restless. B. Katia helped her with her research.
C. Katia taught her to make a documentary. D. Katia's deeds inspired her career choice.

In ancient Maya civilization, cacao—which chocolate is made from—wasn't just for the elites （精英）. Traces of the sacred plant show up in antiques from all types of neighborhoods and in and around a former Maya city, researchers report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The finding suggests that, contrary to previous thinking, cacao was consumed at every social level of Maya society.
"Now we know that the ceremonies with cacao were likely played out by everyone," says AnabelFord, an archaeologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Cacao was sacred to the ancient Maya, consumed in ceremonies and used as a currency. The cacao tree itself was linked to Hun Hunahpu, a Mayan god. Previous research found cacao in burials（墓地）, suggesting that its use was restricted to those at the top.
To explore the extent to which cacao was used in broader Maya society, Ford and colleagues examined 54 antiques dating from A. D. 600 to 900. The antiques come from jars, mixing bowls, serving plates and vases thought to be drinking vessels. All the pieces were found in residential and ceremonial civic areas of varying size and status from city centers, foothills, upland areas and the valley around the former Maya city of El Pilar, on the present-day border of Guatemala and Belize.
To identify cacao, the researchers searched for theophylline, a compound found in trace amounts in the plant. The team found the compound on more than half of the samples, on all types of antiques and distributed throughout social contexts.
Future research will move beyond who consumed cacao and explore the role of farmers in managing the critical resource. "A better question is to understand who grew it," Ford says, because those people probably had greater access to the valuable commodity.
28. What do traces of cacao found in Mayan antiques indicate
A. Cacao was once unique to Maya society.
B. Cacao was only available to wealthy Mayan people.
C. Cacao was accessible to Mayan ordinary people.
D. Cacao left more traces in the Mayan city center.
29. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. There is no need to do further research on cacao.
B. Mayan people liked eating chocolate very much.
C. Mayan festivals were the same as those of the modern times.
D. There were some limitations in previous research about cacao.
30. Why did Ford and his colleagues examine 54 antiques
A. To make copies of Mayan antiques.
B. To learn about the Mayan eating habits.
C. To find out cacao's relationship with the religion.
D. To know about Mayan social groups of cacao use.
31. Which of the following will be the focus of the research about cacao
A. The varieties of cacao. B. Ways cacao was spread out.
C. Cacao tree growers. D. The cacao's value.
D
Debate about artificial intelligence (AI) tends to focus on its potential dangers: algorithmic（算法） discrimination, the mass destruction of jobs and even, some say, the extinction of humanity. As some observers worry, however, others are focusing on the potential rewards. AI could, they claim, help humanity solve some of its biggest and toughest problems. And, they say, AI will do this in a very specific way: by speeding the pace of scientific discovery, especially in areas such as medicine, climate science and green technology.
Such claims are worth examining, and may provide a useful counterbalance （抵消） to fears about large-scale unemployment and killer robots. Many previous technologies have, of course, been falsely praised as panaceas（灵丹妙药）. The electric telegraph was praised in the 1850s as a sign of world peace. Experts in the 1990s said the internet would reduce inequality.
But the mechanism by which AI will supposedly solve the world's problems has a stronger historical basis, because there have been several periods in history when new approaches and new tools did indeed help bring about bursts of world-changing scientific discovery and innovation.
In the 17th century microscopes and telescopes opened up new vistas （视野） of discoveries, while the introduction of scientific journals gave them new ways to share their findings. From the mid-20th century, computers in turn enabled new forms of science based on simulation and modelling, from the design of weapons and aircraft to more accurate weather forecasting.
And the computer revolution may not be finished yet. As we report, AI tools and techniques are now being applied in almost every field of science, though the degree of adoption varies widely: 7.2%of physics and astronomy papers published in 2022 involved AI. AI is being employed in many ways. It can identify promising candidates for analysis, such as molecules with particular properties in drug discovery, or materials with the characteristics needed in batteries or solar cells.
All this is to be welcomed. But the journal and the laboratory went further still: they altered scientific practice itself and unlocked more powerful means of making discoveries. AI has the potential to set off such a transformation.
32. How does the author develop the first paragraph
A. By providing evidence. B. By listing debates about AI.
C. By making classification of AI. D. By explaining a phenomenon.
33. What's the author's attitude towards experts in the 1990s
A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Favourable.
34. What does the author want to express in Paragraph 4
A. Scientific journals bring about successful data analysis.
B. Scientific journals and computers remove people's discrimination.
C. Scientific discovery and innovation have some potential problems.
D. Scientific progresses benefit from new approaches and new tools.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. How Al can revolutionise Science
B. Why Al Decides Human Beings' Future
C. When Human Beings No Longer Fear Al
D. Where Al Performs Better in Scientific Fields

We've all been there: sitting at your desk with an urgent deadline and a wandering mind. Despite your best efforts, things are not progressing. You need to focus on the task in front of you. You're motivated to do it. But you just can't concentrate. Here are ways to improve focus and concentration.
Get rid of distractions（分心的事）.
How do we focus better if we are always bothered with information Make a practice blocking time in your schedule to do a specific task or activity. 36
Take a short break.
When you focus on something for a long time, your focus may begin to die down. You may feel more and more difficulty devoting your attention to the task. 37 Taking very small breaks by refocusing your attention elsewhere can dramatically improve mental concentration after that. The next time you are working on a project, take a break when you begin to feel stuck.
38
It might feel counterintuitive （反常的） when you feel unable- to concentrate, but remember that you choose where you focus. It's tough to concentrate when your mind is always in the past and worrying about the future. While it isn't easy, make an effort to let go of past events. Acknowledge the impact, what you felt, and what you learned from it, then let it go.
Switch tasks.
While we may want to concentrate on a particular task, sometimes we get stuck and our brain needs something fresh to focus on. 39 Switching tasks can help you stay alert and productive for a longer period.
Set a daily priority.
Write down what you want to accomplish each day, ideally the night before, and identify a single priority that you commit to accomplishing. 40 Deal with the big jobs first and leaving the small stuff till later. Break large tasks into smaller bytes so that you will not be overwhelmed.
A. Choose to focus on the moment.
B. Recognize how it is affecting your life.
C. Decide what task you want to complete.
D. This will help focus your brain on what matters.
E. Try turning to other tasks or something you love to do.
F. Researchers have found that our brains tend to ignore sources of constant stimulation.
G. During this time, request that you be left alone or go to a place where no one disturbs you.

My mom was a kind woman. She had a unique perspective on helping others that I didn't really appreciate until one cold, winter day when we picked up my brothers at school.
"Who is that child " Mom pointed at a skinny, angry-looking girl across the street. "She doesn't even have a coat. It's freezing!" "That's Becky Ingler. She always looks mad like that," I replied. Ingler didn't have a father, and everybody laughed at her. "I'll visit her tomorrow," she said.
The next day, we went to the Inglers. An exhausted-looking woman appeared, and Mom smiled "Hello, Mrs. Ingler. I'm just visiting some of our neighbors to get acquainted" Once inside, my mother studied each of the children surrounding upset Becky, who was reading from a book. She rudely ignored my nod. Gosh! A rusty coal stove and a big, messy bed.
As we left, Mom told Mrs. Ingler she hoped she would see her again soon.
Mom's old sewing machine worked for two days and nights to turn the shabby clothes into stylish winter coats. She remarked, "I need your help to deliver these coats to the Inglers this afternoon."
"Wow!" I said. "They're lucky to get these."
"No," said Mom as she faced me. "We're the lucky ones to be able to help them, but that's just luck. We want to make sure these coats are given freely, without the Inglers paying a price for them." I didn't understand, "I don't want these coats to cost them their pride or dignity. We aren't able to help them because we are somehow better than they are."
I thought about Becky. She had a rotten attitude, but she also had a lot of responsibility, caring for her siblings（兄弟姐妹） and helping her mother in bad living conditions. The kids at school judged her by what was outside, without ever really seeing what was inside—a girl who was doing her best to keep her head up while living through a nightmare.
I asked mom what we should do if they refused the coats. My mom smiled and said, "I have a plan in mind."

Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm Li Hua, a senior high student. Learning that our school's English radio station's column "Tales of China" needs a radio broadcaster, I'm writing to recommend myself as a qualified candidate.
First of all, not only am I interested in broadcasting, but also I have taken part in many English activities in which I performed well and gained rich experience. Besides, I have a command of spoken English and can communicate with foreigners fluently. So I think I am quite suitable for the post. I would appreciate it if you could give me a chance to work for the school radio station.
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Later that day we went to the Inglers' again. "I know this might be an improper request, and I hope you won't mind," Mom smiled at Mrs. Ingler, "but we have some winter coats here, and I just wondered if you might help deal with them. It seems a shame to donate them." My mother lifted a blue girl's coat out of the bag. Mrs. Ingler looked at the coat, and then glanced at Becky. "I'd be happy to help." Mrs. Ingler gave my mother a knowing look. "Thank you." "You're doing us a favor," my mother laughed.
As we left, I glanced at Becky, who was examining the coats, smiling. Her face was transformed into a Becky I hadn't seen before. I smiled back. Over the years, I thought about how my mom accomplished this act of kindness, and about her gift for caring about people. She cared about the whole person in everyone—the outside, which might be poor or sick or homeless or barefoot, as well as the inside, which might be frightened or desperate or overwhelmed.

M: Look at the soup. There is a hair floating over it. Can't you see it

M: Did you learn about us online
W: No. My workplace is not far away.
M: So you saw our sign

W: So what's your first class
M: I have science at 9:00 in Room 209.
W: I don't have science until 2:30, in that new lab. Anyway, can I borrow your math book I left mine at home.

M: I'm going to ask you about the news. Do you follow the news every day
W: Sometimes.
M: How do you follow the news
W: Well, the radio or the internet.
M: OK. How much of the news do you think is true
W: I don't know. That's a tough question. I think that because there're so many journalists that often what makes into the papers is fairly accurate, but unfortunately some people spread information that is untrue to sway public opinion, so you have to judge carefully.
M: Yeah. How do most people in your country get the news
W: From TV and the main broadcasting stations. The evening news sort of thing.
M: It's different in my country. They prefer to surf the Internet.

M: Hey, Mary!
W: Hello, there! How are you
M: A little bit upset.
W: Oh! Really What happened
M: I recharged my mobile phone this morning, and without any reason, the battery just blew up. Luckily, no one got hurt.
W: Really That's scary!
M: Yes! I'll go to the shop for an explanation.
W: Just be careful with the battery when recharging. You've got to handle it with caution. See my new solar watch! It has no such recharging problems.
M: Is it solar-powered
W: Yes, and it's automatic and it doesn't require any battery. It is safe to wear.
M: Does it stop keeping time in the dark
W: No, it works day and night. The solar panel on a solar watch changes light into electrical energy, which is stored in a rechargeable cell. The rechargeable cell will keep the watch powered in the dark. Some solar-watch can last for months without being exposed to any light.
M: That sounds amazing!
W: Yeah. It's safe and reliable.
M: I'll see if I can find a solar mobile phone for safe use.

W: OK. What are your strengths and weaknesses in the workplace
M: I'm strongly motivated, I'm highly committed. I was a good team player and a self-starter.
W: Tell me why you would be motivated in doing this job
M:Firstly, this job is an ideal match for my skills and experience: I have spent three years working in sales and I have strong communication skills. I get on with people easily.
W: Right well that's pretty much all I want to ask at the moment. Do you have any questions for me
M: I'd just like to know when I should expect to hear from you regarding today's interview.

M: Good morning, everyone. Today I'd like to talk about Maslow University. The university was not originally a university at all. John Maslow came to Melbourne from Scotland in 1822 at the age of 33. He had worked as a math teacher before, and when he went to Melbourne, he found that there were lots of people wanting education, but not nearly enough people to teach them. So he set up a teacher's college in 1825. The students of the college spent an average of two years here before they went out to find work in primary schools and high schools being set up around the state. Around 3,200 students graduated from Maslow Teachers College in is first ten years of operation. Even though John Maslow died in 1848, the teachers college continued to run in much the same way until 1868. Around that time, the state government had plans to establish two new universities. In 1866, Riversdale University was established on site about 11 kilometers northwest of the city center. The government wanted the second university to be a bit closer to the city center, so they chose to change Maslow Teachers College into Maslow University. That happened two years after they opened Riversdale University . As you know, Maslow is in the southeast of the city center, but it's only 1. 5 kilometers away. OK, that's all, Thank you.
