Four family-friendly autumn walks in the UKWith the coming of autumn, we decide to make a list of autumn walks for you. These places will include historic buildings, wonderful scenery and wildlife for all to enjoy.
Formby Nature Reserve, Liverpool. Formby is a town just north of Liverpool and is luckily one of the few places in Britain where there are a large number of red squirrels(松鼠). Children will love the excitement of getting to see these cute animals. The paths are well protected, meaning they are fit for pushchairs(折叠式婴儿车), and dogs are allowed, too. Lakeside walk at Stowe, Buckinghamshire. This place is far from the center of the city and provides people with perfect chances to escape from the busy city lifestyle. The smooth and wide path around the river makes it fit for pushchairs or wheelchairs. This walk is short, meaning it is a great way for the young people to choose walking as a hobby! The walk is great all year round.
Hadrian’s Wall, Newcastle. The 73-mile-long Hadrian’s Wall was completed by the Romans in 128 AD after 6 years’ building. Autumn walks along Hadrian’s Wall are an excellent way to educate children on the history of the British Isles and really get close to the styles of Roman buildings. Lyme Park, Peak District. Lyme Park is not only home to many trees, but also home to a group of red deer. This Peak District walk is fit for families. Playgrounds and tree houses are along the way, making sure that the little kids you are with, will never get bored.

The Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟) were a center of Buddhist life and some of the world’s great cultures for hundreds of years. However, by the late Qing Dynasty they had been abandoned (废弃) and nearly forgotten and many of the caves had become damaged by the weather. Around 1900, with the discovery of a library of thousands of ancient documents, the caves received new interest from Chinese and foreign researchers. Unluckily, this resulted in tens of thousands of items from the caves being taken to foreign museums.
In the 1940s, many researchers and artists visited the area to study traditional Chinese art. Copies of some of the artwork painted by respected artists such as Zhang Daqian and Guan Shanyue helped people all over the country learn about Dunhuang. These artists were also inspired by the artwork they saw in the caves and it began to influence their painting styles. Others stayed in the desert for much longer. Chang Shuhong stayed for the rest of his life—struggling to record the cultural treasures and protect them from the weather. As a result of their efforts, the Dunhuang Academy was formed to protect and study the Mogao Grottoes.
In 1987, the Mogao Grottoes were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the caves are open to the public, access (权限) is now limited in order to protect the artwork. However, the caves can be seen online in digital versions (数码版) so that people around the world can study and enjoy them.
Though it is remote, the Mogao Grottoes continue to draw visitors. And just as the sand and desert have survived largely unchanged through the centuries, this small art gallery in the desert has also survived largely unchanged providing an amazing look at a world long ago past.

26．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Mogao Grottoes—Center of Buddhist Life
B．The Mogao Grottoes—Art Gallery in the Desert
C．Respected artists—Protectors of the Mogao Grottoes
D．An Amazing Tourist Attraction—The Mogao Grottoes

More and more people are speaking to their computers or mobile devices to search for things online or on their hard drives. Voice recognition technology, like Google’s Voice Search or Apple’s Siri, means our technology is beginning to understand what we are saying. The technology research company Northstar recently conducted Google’s Mobile Voice Study and found that voice searches on mobile devices have more than doubled in the past year. Northstar said that voice search is a lot more popular among teenagers than adults. Researchers interviewed 1,400 Americans. They found that 55 per cent of teens use voice search at least once a day, compared with 41 per cent of adults.
Google’s Vice President for Conversational Search explained how important voice search is becoming. He said, “Voice search is a key feature of the Google app that’s becoming ever more important as people spend more time on their mobile phones.” The research found that many teenagers thought voice search was a normal part of technology, whereas adults said it made them feel “tech savvy”. Both teens and adults used voice search to multi-task while watching TV or cooking. Researchers said people used voice search for different purposes. One important use for teens was to study. Almost one-third of the 13-18-year-olds surveyed said they ask their phones for answers to their homework.
27．What does the underlined phrase “tech savvy” in paragraph two mean
A．Having a good knowledge of technology. B．Caring about technology.
C．Improving technology. D．Making full use of technology.
28．When do teens and adults use voice search to multi-task
A．When they read. B．When they cook.
C．When they do homework. D．When they become tired.

30．What is the passage mainly about
A．Importance of computers and mobile phones. B．Different purposes of using voice search.
C．Opinions on the right use of voice search. D．Popularity of voice search among people.

On May 2, the Writers Guild of America（美国编剧协会）called on its 11,500 members to begin a strike（罢工）in Hollywood, California, and New York City in the US. It is the first writers’ strike in more than 15 years, causing many new projects to stop.
One big issue behind the WGA strike is the use of AI programs. They said that AI not be allowed to write or rewrite literary material or be used as source material.
Creative AI programs like ChatGPT can now create human—like literary works. Writers are worried that media companies might someday use AI instead of people to make scripts（剧本）for movies and TV shows. This might bring plagiarism problems as AI usually creates scripts based on a writer’ work.
At the same time, using AI to write scripts has a big influence on writers’ pay. As Warren Leight, an executive producer, said, studios might let AI create a first draft（草稿）, then hire people to do a second draft, which pays less. This makes writers want to “nip that in the bud”.
AI is already being used in the entertainment industry in other ways, such as making actors appear younger and removing dirty words, said Fortune magazine. Although AI is not set to replace human writers anytime soon, the possibility is still there. As James Perry, a TV actor and vice—chair of the WGA’s Disabled Writers Committee told Reuters, “This is a crisis（危机）for writers.”
31．What is the main reason for the WGA members’ strike ________
A．Many writers cannot find jobs without AI.
B．The writers want a raise for their hard work.
C．Writers don’t want AI to be used to create and rewrite scripts.
D．Many new projects were recently stopped because of the use of AI.
32．What do the plagiarism problems in Paragraph 3 refer to ________
A．Writers creating scripts based on AI drafts. B．Writers copying other writers’ works.
C．AI producing no creative works. D．AI writing scripts based on a writer’s works.
33．What does the underlined sentence mean ________
A．Writers are happy to see that. B．Writers want to stop that from happening.
C．Writers don’t care about that. D．Writers thinks it’s possible.
34．What might be James Perry’s idea ________
A．AI brings a sense of crisis to writers. B．AI is affecting the industry in a positive way.
C．AI will replace writers soon. D．AI doing most jobs is a historical trend.
35．What’s the passage mainly talking about ________
A．A strike requiring limits on AI use. B．The functions of AI in life.
C．Opinions on AI use. D．The disadvantages of AI in life.

You may know the painting Along the River During Qingming Festival（《清明上河图》） by an artist called Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty. Over 300 students from Nanjing Zhonghua High School worked together to recreate this famous painting.
The students’ art teacher Ma Min found a high-definition（高清的）picture of the painting, divided the painting into eight parts and gave each part to a different group of students. Then, Ma joined the parts together to form the finished painting, which is 84 centimeters wide and 20 meters long.
The students began to work on the painting last September. It took them about three months to finish it. They had to use their imagination to fill in details and make sure that one part matched another both in the form and in the painting style.
The students did a lot of research and made some interesting findings. Li Zixuan, 13, was asked to paint the busy streets along the river. She learned that pillars（柱子）were used to create boundaries near the river. Shops were not allowed to open across this boundary. Otherwise, they would be punished with beatings.
