Retracing Charles Darwin’s travels across North Wales
Uncover the best of Wales as you explore the thrilling landscapes of Eryri National Park and discover the story of Charles Darwin’s 1831 and 1842 tours of Wales.
Day 1: Shrewsbury — Darwin’s Hometown
Your journey begins in the welcoming town of Shrewsbury, England, where you will meet at Darwin’s Townhouse, which will be your hotel for the night. Named after and dedicated to the man himself, this charming hotel is the perfect start for your journey into Wales.
Day 2: Into Wales — on Darwin’s Trail
Enjoy breakfast in Shrewsbury before crossing into Wales and following Darwin’s route through the Clwydian Range. On the way, stop off at a number of sites where Darwin was taught to “read the rocks and landscapes” by geologist Adam Sedgewick. Rounding off the day, you will travel through Gwydir Forest Park to reach your accommodation for the next few days, Ty’n Rhos. This comfortable, 19-bedroom country house hotel is the ideal place to relax after the day’s exploration.
Day 3: CWM Idwal — Mountains, Valleys and Lakes
Heading out from Ty’n Rhos, the morning’s drive will take you to the Cwm Idwal, the very first Welsh National Nature Reserve, and an important site in Charles Darwin’s scientific life. With its own plant life and unique, fossil-filled boulders, Cwm Idwal helped to spark Darwin’s understanding of rock movements.
DAY 4: Anglesey — Into the Unknown
Today you will be exploring what is now considered part of Darwin’s first tour. No official records show that Darwin visited the Isle of Anglesey, but a research has uncovered plenty of evidence to suggest that he kept company with Cambridge professor Adam Sedgwick to the island.
21. Where will the travelers stay on the first night
A. In a hotel in Ty’n Rhos. B. In a hotel in Wales.
C. In Gwydir Forest Park. D. In Darwin’s Townhouse in Shrewsbury.
22. What can travellers do in Wales
A. To rest in Ty’n Rhos.
B. To enjoy tasty breakfast.
C. To be accommodated in Gwydir Forest Park.
D. To read the rocks and landscapes with a geologist.
23. What can we learn about Adam Sedgewick
A. He was the first to explore the Isle of Anglesey.
B. He taught Darwin to read and write in his early age.
C. He played an important role in Darwin’s scientific life.
D. He sparked Darwin’s understanding of rock movements.
B
In the deep blue ocean lived a fish called the Rainbow Fish. The fish was extraordinarily beautiful. Its scales (鳞片) shone with every color of the rainbow, including silver ones among them. The Rainbow Fish was very proud of its scale and did not want to share its scales with its fellow fish. It always refused the invitations of other fish to play with them, instead swimming past proudly.
The Rainbow Fish’s routine changed when one day, a small blue fish followed it asking for a scale. But the Rainbow Fish refused and told the little fish to go away. The little fish shared this news with the other fish, and they decided to keep away from Rainbow Fish and turned away at the sight of its scales. Rainbow Fish no longer knew its own value because no one would appreciate its scales. It became the loneliest fish in the ocean.
One day, while swimming alone, the Rainbow Fish met a wise octopus. The octopus shared a profound wisdom: true satisfaction in life is only achieved when we share our blessings with those less fortunate. The Rainbow Fish listened very closely. The words of the wise octopus made home in its heart. All night, the Rainbow Fish couldn’t sleep. It kept tossing and turning, reflecting on its own life.
From the following day, the Rainbow Fish started sharing its scale with other fish. News of the Rainbow Fish’s generosity spread quickly, and soon, it was surrounded by other fish who wanted its scales. Rainbow Fish looked around and felt delighted at last in seeing its scales distributed among the fish of the coral reef. With one scale remaining for itself, it swam off to play with the other fish.
24. Why was the Rainbow Fish lonely despite its beauty
A. It lived in the deep ocean. B. It was afraid of other fish.
C It was too proud to make friends. D. Other fish were jealous of its scales.
25. What changed its behavior
A. Other fish’s friendship. B. Other fish’s invitation.
C. The wise octopus’s words. D. The small blue fish’s request for the scale.
26. How did the Rainbow Fish feel after sharing its scales with other fish
A. Lonely and sad. B. Happy and content.
C. Angry and upset. D. Certain and confident.
27. What can we learn from the story
A. The importance of being beautiful. B. The joy of having many friends.
C. The value of sharing and giving. D. The wisdom of seeking help from others.
C
In sub-Saharan Africa, most children attend schools where lessons are not taught in their mother tongue, but a language that is more international. Some believe this system prepares kids for a successful future. Others say that teaching in an unfamiliar language can obviously hamper learning results.
Senegal is an example of an African nation where students learn to read—not in a language they speak at home, but in French. Forcing children to learn in French could not actually have a positive effect on their school performance. According to Education Center, the youth’s ability to read and write is lower than the average for countries with similar economies. In addition, more than half of Senegal’s secondary school-age children no longer attend school.
Such concerns have led schools in some countries to begin teaching in local languages. But not everyone agrees with these efforts. Barbara Trudell, the director of an organization for language development, says that preferring local languages can be difficult to understand. That’s because there might be more opportunities for speakers of international languages. Others have mixed feelings. Meissa Dieng, a school headmaster accepts the importance of international languages. But he’s concerned about how well children adapt to the challenges of doing schoolwork in a language they do not speak at home. Chris Darby, an education expert says that parents often have strong views on teaching in international languages. But many of them finally support it. “Parents are very eager, I think, for children to succeed,” said Darby.
Many Organizations have been applying two-language teaching programs in primary schools. In these programs, children learn to speak French and build learning skills in local language. The local language is later used as a base to learn and read in French. Program Director Awa Ka Dia hopes the good results will encourage the native governments to fund the programs, so they could cover more areas.
28. What does the underlined word “hamper” mean in Paragraph 1
A. Harm B. Improve C. Achieve D. Confuse
29. Why is the country Senegal mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To show the importance of reading and writing in French.
B. To encourage Senegalese students to learn a second language.
C. To show the great benefits of learning an international language.
D. To show the negative influence of learning French on Senegalese students.
30. What is Meissa Dieng’s attitude to teaching in international languages
A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Unclear.
31. What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A. The programs are considered helpful.
B. Learning French helps to improve learning skills.
C. Native language makes it harder to learn French.
D. Local government has put lots of money into the program.
D
Some police departments in the United States are experimenting with AI tools to help them produce reports. Police officers who have tried the AI chatbots (聊天机器人) praise the technology as a time-saver. Yet some government lawyers, legal experts, and others have expressed concerns about the AI-produced reports.
Axon, known for its body cameras, has developed a chatbot that uses the same technology as ChatGPT. This AI tool, named Draft One, is being tested by officers like Matt Gilmore from Oklahoma City. He describes the AI chatbot as a “game changer” for police work. In the past, after completing a search, the officer would spend another 30 to 45 minutes writing up a report. “This meaningless work takes me ages!” Matt said. But this time he used AI and the process only took eight seconds. And he described the report as better and more exact than one he could have written himself.
However, Axon's CEO, Rick Smith, also noted legal and ethical (道德的) concerns about the tool. Government lawyers advise the police to be careful with the tool. They want to ensure that police officers are responsible for writing their reports. Prosecutors (检察官) never want to get an officer on the stand who says, “Well, the AI wrote that, I didn't.”
Chatbots that use AI technology are not mistake-free. Sometimes these chatbots can produce false information, which worries Andrew Ferguson, a law professor at American University. “I am concerned that the technology would cause police officers to be sort of less careful with their writing,” he said. A police report is important in determining whether a suspect is guilty or not. However, human-created police reports also have problems, and it is not yet known which kind of report writer, human or AI, is more dependable.
32. What is the main purpose of the article
A. To explain how AI chatbots work for the police.
B. To encourage the use of AI in police departments.
C. To discuss the advantages and concerns of AI tool in police.
D. To stress the legal and ethical problems of using AI in police reports.
33. According to the passage what is one advantage of using AI to write police reports
A. It helps officers to complete a search. B. It avoids the risk of false information.
C. It ensures that reports are always right. D. It frees officers from boring daily tasks.
34. What can we infer about AI technology from Paragraph 4
A. It may make police officers lose their jobs.
B. It may make officers less serious about their reporting.
C. It might make the police more careful with their writing.
D. It can produce reports more reliable than human-written ones.
35. What is the best title for this passage
A. The Future of AI Chatbots B. AI Chatbots Used in Police Reports
C. The Rise of AI Chatbots D. Police Reports Produced by AI Chatbots
