Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read Yes，we all have our phones，but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed．
Well，there's a kiosk(小亭) for that．In the San Francisco Bay Area，at least．
“You enter the fare gates(检票口) and you'll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one minute，a three minute，or a five minute story，”says Alicia Trost，the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART．“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt like short story．”
It's that simple．Riders have printed nearly 20，000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March．Some are classic short stories，and some are new original works．
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders．“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest，”Trost says．“And as of right now，we've received about 120 submissions．The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist．”
Ridership on transit(交通)systems across the country has been down the past half century，so could short stories save transit
Trost thinks so．
“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience．So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories，”she says．
And you'll never be without something to read．

We all know fresh is best when it comes to food．However，most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table．While farmer's markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey，Babylon Micro Farm(BMF) shortens it even more．
BMF is an indoor garden system．It can be set up for a family．Additionally，it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital，restaurant or school．The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens．
Specifically，it's a farm that relies on new technology．By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored．Also，there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time．Because the system is automated，it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants．Rather than watering rows of soil，the system provides just the right amount to each plant．After harvest，users simply replace the plants with a new pre seeded pod(容器) to get the next growth cycle started．
Moreover，having a system in the same building where it's eaten means zero emissions(排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad．In addition，there's no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment．
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives．About half of them walk or bike to work．Inside the office，they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single use plastic．“We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment，”said a BMF employee．

Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives，we all need to take action to deal with our AI powered future，and this is where AI by Design：A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in．This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution(变革)．
In_the_wrong_hands，such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code(代码) that powers AI but，thankfully，Campbell has more than two decades' professional experience translating the heady into the understandable．She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic，making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which，by the close，will make you feel almost as smart as AI．
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design，AI is already super smart and will become more capable，moving from the current generation of “narrow AI” to Artificial General Intelligence．From there，Campbell says，will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence．This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now—several decades before these developments are expected to take place．She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence，or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse．
Campbell's point is to wake up those responsible for AI—the technology companies and world leaders—so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it．She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction level event for humanity．We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out．Such structured thinking，followed by global regulation，will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall．
AI will affect us all，and if you only read one book on the subject，this is it．

A．If read by someone poorly educated．
B．If reviewed by someone ill intentioned．
C．If written by someone less competent．
D．If translated by someone unacademic．

33．What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text
A．It is packed with complex codes．
B．It adopts a down to earth writing style．
C．It provides step by step instructions．

34．What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development
A．Observe existing regulations on it．
B．Reconsider expert opinions about it．
C．Make joint efforts to keep it under control．
D．Learn from prior experience to slow it down．

Overtourism Is For Real：How Can You Help
Travel promotes understanding，expands our minds，makes us better people，and boosts local economies and communities，but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations． __36__ Certainly not．The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today's world．Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience．
Choose mindfully．Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason：they're special． With so many online posts featuring the same places，it's easy to feel like you're missing out．Go somewhere only when the landscape，culture or food deeply draws you． __37__
Get creative．The best way to ease pressure on over touristed destinations is to go somewhere else．Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world，it's actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots．That means you have tons of less visited options to choose from．__38__ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination's lesser known sights
__39__ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour．You'll compete with fewer tourists，save money，experience a different side of a popular place，and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower．
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege(荣幸)．Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place．__40__ You may be amazed how much closer you'll feel to the people there．
A．Visit during off peak times．
B．So，should we stop traveling
C．Travel for you and no one else．
D．Can overtourism be avoided then
E．You can still find relatively undiscovered places．
F．You'll find yourself virtually alone，or close to it．
G．Consider giving back to the communities you're visiting．
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了旅游业快速增长导致的一些地区过度旅游的问题，并给出了缓解旅游压力和改善旅游体验的建议。

37．C　[根据本段首句可知，本段建议人们要谨慎选择旅行地点。根据空前“Go somewhere only when the landscape，culture or food deeply draws you．(只有当一个地方的风景、文化或食物深深吸引你时，才去那里)”可知，旅行地点的选择应基于个人的真实兴趣，与他人无关，故C项符合语境。]

39．A　[设空处是对段首主题句的考查。根据文章特征可知，段首主题句应填祈使句。再根据本段中的“skipping major holidays or rush hour”可知，本段强调错峰出行，故A项“淡季的时候旅游”符合语境。]
40．G　[根据空前“Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege．Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place．(参观别人称之为家的地方是一种荣幸。首先，尽自己的一份力量来保护当地的旅游特色)”可知，本段建议人们保护旅行地的特色。 G项“考虑回馈你正在参观的社区”呼应了空白处前的“Do your part to preserve．．．”，且G项中的“the communities”与空后的“there”相呼应。]

60．inspired　[考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处作非谓语，修饰名词pavilion，表示“受《牡丹亭》启发”，应用过去分词形式表示被动。过去分词短语“inspired by The Peony Pavilion”作“a six meter tall pavilion”的后置定语。故填inspired。]
61．was built　[考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，主语为a six meter tall pavilion，是单数形式，空处作句子的谓语，pavilion与build之间为被动关系。这里描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was built。]
62．visibility　[考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处被形容词international修饰，应填visible的名词形式visibility，表示“知名度”。故填visibility。]
63．to find　[考查非谓语动词。此处考查be＋adj．＋to do结构。be amazed to do sth．是固定搭配，意为“对做某事感到惊讶”。故填to find。]
64．Recalling　[考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处作状语，Edmondson和recall之间为主动关系，应用动词 ing形式作状语。设空处位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Recalling。]

Dear_Chris，
I'm_writing_to_share_with_you_an_art_class_I_had_in_a_park_last_Friday． Last Friday witnessed our outdoor sketching in the park, a unique setting that inspired me to create a painting of the serene lake surrounded by lush green trees．The tranquility of nature was truly captivating．
Not only was painting outdoors a refreshing change, but it also allowed me to see colors and shapes in a new light． Moreover，it was a sensory feast that heightened my perception and appreciation for the beauty of our natural world even more． Needless to say，it was a day filled with creativity and a sense of peace．
Looking forward to hearing about your adventures!
Yours，

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I met Gunter on a cold，wet and unforgettable evening in September．I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference．Due to a big storm，my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half．I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague．The moment I got off the plane，I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought．
That was when I met Gunter．I told him where I was going，but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station．I thought my pronunciation was the problem，so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused．When I was about to give up，Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend．After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century，Gunter put his phone down and started the car．
Finally，with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station．Thankfully，there was a long queue(队列)still waiting to board the bus．Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around，and looked at me with a big smile on his face．“We made it，” he said．
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet．I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard．He tried it several times，but the card machine just did not play along．A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out．
At this moment，Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station．There，at the entrance，was a cash machine．I jumped out of the car，made a mad run for the machine，and popped my card in，only to read the message：“Out of order．Sorry．”
注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右；
(2)请按如下格式作答。

I_ran_back_to_Gunter_and_told_him_the_bad_news． “Sorry, I can't take cash out，” I said embarrassedly, with my face burning． Hearing my words, Gunter replied with the familiar smile on his face, “That's OK, just go ahead, you can pay me at your convenience．” So surprised and moved was I that I couldn't say a word out． I took out my notebook, asked Gunter's phone number and wrote it down hurriedly, promising I would call him back． Then I made a mad run for the bus and left．
Four_days_later,_when_I_was_back_in_Vienna,_I_called_Gunter_as_promised．The moment Gunter picked up the phone, he seemed to know I was going to call． “I know it's you，” he said softly． As we met the following day at the departure place, I expressed my great gratitude to him． I paid him back and offered an extra $10 tip, however, he refused the tip, saying, “It is not a big deal．” Suddenly, a warm current washed over me． It was at that time that I felt blessed to have met such a warm hearted man like Gunter who has a heart of gold．
