An owl(猫头鹰) named Flaco escaped New York's Central Park Zoo last week after his cage was broken. This set off a bird-hunt of police officers and park rangers(护林员). Zoo officials worried thatFlaco, who had been kept in his zoo cage for 13 years, may have lost the survival abilities he needed in the wild. They placed some of his favorite treats in the open air to attempt to trap him.
Flaco was not fooled. Instead, he was sighted flying over5th Avenue, and Central Park's skating rink.A number of New Yorkers came into Central Park to try to catch a glimpse of Flaco, taking photos with excitement.
But this week, zoo officials announced they accepted that Flaco remained in Central Park because he had been seen bringing up bones and fur from the park's community of rats. “He has been very successful at hunting and consuming lots of rats in the park.” zoo officials told the New York Post. “And that’ s amazing. He's hunting on his own. He's flying better. Flaceo really seems to be enjoying himself out there.”
There is a caution attached to this story of an owl who is making it on his own in the city that never sleeps. Owls are nocturnal. They go around searching for food at night. They sleep during the day, or try to, like lots of people who work the overnight shift. Yet some New Yorkers who don't know proper bird-watching behavior reportedly see Flaco sleep in a tree during the day, and begin to shout at him. It interrupts his sleep. Flaco can't try to say“shh, shh” with the traditional New York reply. After all, a bird can't give someone the bird.
24. Why were zoo officials concerned about Flaco's ability to survive
A. Because his favourite food was too little. B. Because he might be attacked by police.
C. Because his cage was severely damaged. D. Because he was kept in his cage for long.
25. What can we infer about Flaco from the third paragraph
A. He has adapted to the wild. B. He has found his previous home.
C. He still faces great challenges. D. He dislikes the rats in the park.
26. What does the underlined word“nocturnal” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Scary-looking. B. Shy and quiet.
C. Active at night. D. Badly-behaved.
27. Which word best describes the author's attitude to the interruption to Flaco's sleep
A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Unclear. D. Disapproving.

Did you watch the popular TV series Meet Yourself(《去有风的地方》) during your vacation In theTV series, the heroine Xu Hongdou travels to a village in Yunnan provinces and volunteers at a local cafe.She gets free meals in return. As the show find a growing audience (观众), volunteer travel —— an old-yet-modern form of travel similar to Xu's type of work —— has attracted more attention.
Volunteer travel refers to taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to take part in an arranged service (服务) chance to help others, according to Wise our, an online provider of tourist information.
During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, the volunteers may get free or discounted(打折的)accommodation, meals and laundry(洗衣服务), activities, or classes.
It seems as if these long journeys could only be made possible in recent years by modern transportation. Nevertheless, volunteer travel dates back to the 1960s, when Ale Dickson and his wifeMora from the UK founded Voluntary Service Overseas(VSO), an international volunteer organization.
Traditionally, the volunteer activities take place in a foreign country. However, just as what MeetYourself shows, more volunteer trips have taken place within the same countries or places in recent years.Sanlian Lifeweek magazine said that volunteer projects in rural areas are now attracting more city visitors as a break from the fast and stressful pace of city living. Yang Yam, a founder of a volunteer platform, told the magazine that it has indeed been a growing trend (趋势) for city workers to volunteer in rural areas.
By working voluntarily while traveling, city workers can get a taste of rural life. For those who are sick of city pressure but can't make up their minds whether to move forever to the countryside, volunteer travel can be a solution. In this way, as Yang says, travelers can catch some relaxation from their busy lives, while rural communities also benefit by receiving more customers for local tourism industries.
28. What's the function of the first paragraph
A. To introduce a new way of travel.
B. To lead to the topic of volunteer travel.
C. To show the popularity of this TV series.
D. To raise readers' interest in the TV series.
29. What can we learn about volunteer travel
A. It requires travelers to be highly educated.
B. It can date back to the 19th century in the UK.
C. It helps travelers earn money on their volunteer trips.
D. It combines(结合) travel with meaningful work to help others.
30. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about
A. A new trend of volunteer trips. B. The importance of volunteer trips.
C. Different views on volunteer trips. D. The development of volunteer trips.
31. Why are more city workers attracted by volunteer projects
A. To build up their body. B. To give back to society.
C. To get away from city life. D. To support the rural tourism.

Climate change is speeding up the frequency and seriousness of extreme(极端的) weather events in places like the Horn of Africa, where deadly floods and the worst drought hit in decades. Besides,traditional weather forecast(预报) models in sub-Saharan Africa often aren't dependable enough to forecast extreme weather events accurately(准确地) ahead of time, leaving the areas at risk. Based on the facts, accurate and timely forecasts are important to safeguard lives and livelihoods.
Climate scientists are building artificial intelligence (AI) into the traditional weather forecasting method in East Africa to improve the accuracy of extreme weather forecasts. By using both physical atmospheric processes in traditional forecasting and AI, researchers develop a first-of - its-kind new modeling approach to give more accurate rainfall forecasts. “We start from the traditional forecasts and add the AI model over it to make up for what the traditional forecasts have missed, so that the final forecast results can more accurately match the data that has actually been observed,” explains Shruti Nath,a climate scientist and researcher at the University of Oxford Department of Physics.
According to Shruti Nath, this model, which only requires a notebook computer to run, without the need for expensive supercomputers, gives local meteorological (气象的) organizations an affordable way of making more accurate forecasts in an area where there is a shortage of accurate observational data. The researchers say the project could change early warning systems in East Africa, making the area get better prepared for the extreme weather caused by climate change.
Traditionally, many forecasting organizations in Africa had not good computational resources. The project is supported by an IT company, which provides funding and computational resources. This approach gives them the ability to use AI to make forecasting at the least computational expense.
The model is currently being rolled out in Kenya and Ethiopia. If successful in East Africa,researchers hope to use it in other parts of the world facing similar challenges. More countries are trying to spread the technology as well as build local ownership and trust.
32. What does the author want to stress in the first paragraph
A. The necessity of using the new weather forecast model.
B. The great climate changes caused by human activities.
C. The seriousness of the flood and drought in Africa.
D. Little progress has been made in weather forecasts.
33. How does the new weather forecast model work
A. It needs much less observational data.
B. It uses supercomputers to process data.
C. It combines AI with the traditional method.
D. It depends on AI instead of the former way.
34. What can we say about the new weather forecast model
A. It runs easily. B. It is low - cost.
C. It doesn't work as wished. D. It is geographically limited.
35. What can be the most suitable title for the text
A. Climate Change and Its Effects on Africa
B. Uncertainty of Weather Forecast with AI
C. AI Helping Improve Weather Forecast in Sub-Saharan Africa
D. The Challenges Faced by Traditional Weather Forecast Model
