Four of the Top 10 Fastest Bullet Trains in the World 2023
FUXING HAO CR400AF/BF-CHINA, 249 MPH
The world’s fastest long-distance standard train is the Fuxing Hao CR400. It runs between Shanghai and Beijing in just five hours, with a capacity of over 550 passengers. Known as “Dolphin Blue” and “Golden Phoenix” are the two versions AF and BF, slightly different from each other. Fuxing Hao debuted(首秀)in 2016 and lowered its sibling Harmony 380 by 13 mph to second place.
EUROSTAR E320-THE UNITED KINGDOM, 200 MPH
In 2015, Siemens launched the Eurostar E320, whose interiors were designed by famous Pininfarina Italian stylists. The train will easily accommodate 900 people, 20 more than Eurostar E300. Eurostar is remarkably environmentally sustainable, with 90 percent fewer emissions per passenger than London’s flight to Paris.
TALGO 350-SPAIN, 217 MPH
Built by Patentes Talgo, the Spanish Talgo 350 runs between Madrid and Barcelona. In Spanish, the train has a nickname, ‘Pato,’ meaning duck. This is because of the raised nose cone(圆锥形)similar to a duckbill. There are multiple classes for seats: Club(with 14-26 seats), First(with 26 seats)and Coach(with 36 seats). Each seat comes with lamps for reading and laptop and mobile phone charging power points.

It has the distinction of being the fastest train in Europe at 223 mph. Nicknamed “Ferrari of the tracks,’ the plum red trains are operated by Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori, a company led by Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, the former president of Ferrari. The compartments in it are 9 feet tall, making it easier to navigate with baggage, and there are luxurious leather seats also in the general compartments.

Faced with many challenges in his life, John has never let them stop him. Despite having his leg amputated as a young man, he has gone on to be a Paralympic athlete and more recently an astronaut in training! Let's learn more about his story.
John first discovered his love for sports when he was young, and he quickly became passionate about running and hockey. When he was 19 and visiting Vietnam, he had a bad accident that required one of his legs to be amputated.
When he returned to his home country of England, he missed running. Eventually, he was provided with an artificial leg that allowed him to run again. He started to compete in events that were designed for disabled athletes and, after much hard work, won several medals in international competitions, including the Paralympics.
Following his success in running, John studied exercise and medicine. He continued to focus on how to manage his emotions to not allow his disabilities to limit the possibilities for his life. When he learned that the European Space Agency (ESA) was looking for new astronauts, it intrigued him. He decided to give it a try, among 22,000 other applicants!
John was selected by the ESA to become the first "parastronaut" the world has ever known. The ESA will work with John to understand how a person with a disability can operate in space. If all goes well, it will be at least five years before John goes into space as an astronaut.
John's story is truly inspiring, and it shows us that anything is possible if we set our mind to it. No matter what challenges we face in life, we can overcome them and achieve greatness if we work hard and persevere. So, keep pushing yourself to be the best you can be, and never let anyone tell you that you can't achieve your dreams.
24.What do we know about John according to this passage
A. He won medals in Olympics. B. He was born with disability.
C. He was athletic from childhood. D. He made great efforts before success.
25.Why did John try so many things
A. He wanted to show off his talent. B. He wanted to prove his sports personality.
C. He refused to accept impossibility. D. He experienced various emotions.
26.What is John's mission as an astronaut
A. To make the longest stay in outer space.
B. To become the first global astronaut in space.
C. To lead the work of the ESA.
D. To show the performance of disabled astronauts.
27.Which words can be used to describe John
A. Generous and intelligent. B. Interesting and patient.
C. Inspiring and determined. D. Ambitious and humorous.

Kids everywhere love to play. And they know that a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now scientists report bumblebees (大黄蜂) seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play.
Lots of animals play. But the behavior is best known in mammals and birds. For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of training for things they’ll have to deal with in later life. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing.
Dr. Lars Chittka did an earlier experiment, where he trained bumblebees to roll balls into a goal for food. He noticed some bees were rolling balls even when they weren’t rewarded. He wondered if they were playing.
To test the idea,he with other scientists set up a new experiment. First, they marked 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between one and 23 days old. Then they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, small colored wooden balls were placed. On one side of the path,the balls couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around.
For three hours a day over 14 days, the scientists opened the pathway. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anyway. They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls.
Grabbing the balls with their legs, the bumblebees would beat their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 marked bumblebees did this 910 times during the experiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The scientists found the younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls, and that males seemed more likely to play than females.
The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings.
28.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The discovery that many insects like playing.
B. The experiment about mammals’ living habits.
C. The report that bumblebees play for fun.
D. The comparison between insects and birds.
29.What did Dr.Chittka's experiment focus on?
A.Bumblebees' types. B.Bumblebees' habitats.
C.Bumblebees' behavior. D.Bumblebees' food.
30.What can we learn from the experiment
A. Male bumblebees tend to play balls more often.
B. Colorful balls are bumblebees’ favourite toys.
C. Younger bumblebees are better at rolling balls.
D. Bumblebees show interest in anything round.
31.What can be the best title for the text
A. Bumblebees Arc Just Like Kids B. Balls Are a Perfect Thing to Play with
C. Playing Is Animals’ Second Nature D. Bumblebees Are First Insect Known to Play
D
Reunions offer a chance to reflect on how much has changed. One happened in Hollywood when Here premiered(首映), bringing together the actors, director and writer behind Forrest Gump 40 years later for a new film. The stars were "de-aged" using new AI tools, making them more youthful in some scenes and enabling the filmmakers to see the transformation in real time while shooting.
With the use of generative AI in film making come things worth watching. The first is how AI will be used to tell new types of stories, as storytelling becomes more personalised and interactive. No one is quite sure how the nature of storytelling will change, but it is sure to. David Thomson, a film historian, compares generative AI to the advent of sound. “When movies were no longer silent, it changed the way plot points were made and how deeply viewers could connect with characters.”Cristóbal Valenzuela, who runs a company providing AI-enhanced software, says AI is like a "new kind of camera", offering a fresh "opportunity to reimagine what stories are like". Both are right.
Another big development to watch is how AI will be used as a time-saving tool. Generative AI will automate and simplify complex tasks like film-editing and special effects. For a glimpse of the future, watch Everything Everywhere All at Once, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2023. It featured a scene that used a "rotoscoping" tool to edit out the green-screen background and make a talking rock more believable. It shortened into hours what might have otherwise taken days of video-editing.
What is also noticeable is more dramatic conflicts between creators and those running AI platforms. This year is likely to bring floods of lawsuits(诉讼) from authors, musicians and actors about how their works have been used to train AI systems without permission or payment. Perhaps they can agree on some sort of licensing arrangement, in which AI companies start paying copyright-holders.
It will probably be a few years before a full-length film is produced entirely by AI, but it is just a matter of time.
32.What can we learn about the film Here
A. It relates a story about youth. B. The theme of the film is reunion.
C. AI tools are employed in the film. D. It is adapted from Forrest Gump.
33.What does David think of AI's application in film making
A. Available. B. Impressive. C. Representative. D.Transformative.
34.Why does the author mention the film Everything Everywhere All at Once
A. To show the high efficiency of AI tools.
B. To demonstrate the influence of the film.
C. To analyse a novel way of video-editing.
D. To praise the hard work behind the scenes.
35.What is the article mainly about
A. Conflicts between man and machine. B. AI's huge effects on film production.
C. Drawbacks of dependence on AI tools. D. Hot debate on the use of technology.
