阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AD). Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022.
Meta's speech-to-speech translation
Facebook's parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form.
Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition,developers used an encoding (编码)tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text.
Method to identify Parkinson's disease
Rescarchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson's discase. The system works by measuring a person's breathing paters during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the AI systcm was able to correctly identify Parkinson's up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent.
Tool to interpret pig emotions
Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to intcrpre different emotions.
The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughou their lives. The scientists developed an Al-driven algorithm (算法) to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.
Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings
Researchers - led by Alphabet's Al company DeepMind - said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written.
The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent.
21. Which can be used for cross-cultural communication?
A. Tool to interpret pig emotions.
B. Meta's speech-to-speech translation
C. Method to identify Parkinson's disease.
D. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings.
22. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca?
A. A farmer. B. A doctor. C. A zoologist. D. A historian.
23. What do the inventions have in common?
A. They are Al-driven technology tools.
B. They are developed by Facebook.
C. They aim to promote productivity.
D. They focus on health issues.
B
Students at Summit Elementary School in Butler, Pennsylvania are growing more than their minds. Under the guidance of teacher Angela Eyth, they've created a productive garden. "The kids are in charge of everything," Eyth says.
Eyth and her students launched the gardening project in 2020 after the teacher attended a conference on how to include lessons about farming in the classroom. Then came the garden. With 16 acres of school district-owned land around their building, there was plenty of room.
The project is now two years old, and goes beyond planting and growing: Eyth and her fellow
educators structure lessons in science, math and more around their garden.
"When we grew cabbages my students noticed something was eating the leaves," Eyth recalls." This led to an investigation on figuring out what was eating it and how to stop it: the kids analyzed the evidence they found and acted as engineers in creating ways to keep insects out of the cabbage beds. In 4th grade, we take the students outside to estimate the number of bean pods (豆荚)they find." Eyth continues, "People think gardening should be separate from core subjects but it's far from the truth. The kids' curiosity keeps it rolling."
The kids also keep the produce rolling - so much so that with a $70,000 donation from Remake Learning/Grable Foundation, they're using that money to build a greenhouse at their school. The funds help them launch an outdoor classroom and open a farm stand at Broad Street that brings fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and more to an area of their community where affordable fresh produce is hard to find there. Such areas are often called "food deserts."
"Our students discover the value of sharing their harvest with the community surrounding nearby Broad Street Elementary School." says Eyth. "They're so proud of what we're doing here."
- What is the purpose of the project?
- To prepare students for career planning.
- To seek new ways of vegetable growing.
- To allow students to learn by gardening.
- To encourage students to get close to nature.
- What do the teachers do with the project at present?
A. Expand the farming land. B. Integrate relevant subjects.
C. Investigate insects' activities. D. Estimate the number of vegetables.
26. What can we know about the project?
A. It was launched by the school board.
B. Its experience was introduced at a conference.
C. It built a greenhouse in the "food desert" areas.
D. Its produce benefits the community around.
27. What do the students think of the project?
A. It is tiresome. B. It requires creativity.
C. It is rewarding. D. It needs more donations.
C
For Australian cattle farmer Jody Brown, the most frightening evidence of drought is the silence. Trees stand still, the singing of birds gone.
The constant dryness means her cattle have decreased to around 400, down from 1,100 in 2002, and at times there have been no animals on the land at all. The native grasses, once green, have disintegrated into grey ash. According to United Nations' estimates, global crop production could fall about 30% because of climate change, while food is sharply demanded in the coming decades. The world is facing a new age of rapidly increasing food prices that could push almost 2 billion more people into hunger in a worst-case climate crisis.
Facing the scary predictions, farmers have begun to adapt. On Brown's farm, she's experimenting with regenerative-farming practices better suited to drought. She's exploring alternatives to traditional methods that don't push the land as hard. Meanwhile many agrichemical companies are developing new varieties for vegetables, like cabbages that are more resistant to extreme weather.
Across the globe, farmers are switching seeds and improving irrigation(灌溉). Lucas Oliveira in Brazil is pulling out half his coffee trees to plant corn and soybeans instead. He is being forced to change course after coffee crops suffered from drought and then an extreme frost. With drought hitting California, Fritz Durst is working to trap water. He's boarded up pipes to hold the rain that does fall. Durst will also plant cover crops, which can help enrich soils and prevent erosion(水土流失).One of the biggest challenges for farmers is that there is currently no access to funds that would be critical to undertake the kind of massive transformation.
"If you have to deal with millions of farmers around the world, you have to coordinate(协调).That's a huge task," said Monika Zurek, senior researcher at University of Oxford's Environmental Change Institute.
28. Why are the data mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To illustrate the frequent drought.
B. To evidence the increasing food demand.
C. To present the severe results of climate crisis.
D. To describe the situation of crop production.
29. What is farmers' reaction towards the predictions?
A. Exploring alternative farming practices. B. Sticking to traditional methods.
C. Developing new varieties for vegetables. D. Experimenting with agrichemicals.
30. How does Fritz Durst in California deal with the drought?
A. He switches to planting coffee trees. B. He employs ways to trap water.
- He covers his crops to resist drought. D. He conducts researches on the soil.
- What is crucial to the transformation?
A. Improving irrigation facility. B. Tackling environment change.
C. Offering farmers access to funds. D. Introducing ways to prevent erosion.
D
Some of the biggest and most successful companies are opening new offices, and their trendiest feature is focused on plants and insects. After moving to Seattle, Microsoft began to build its Workspaces outdoors - and more specifically, in the trees, which are now comprised of 125 buildings.
This style of biophilic (亲自然的) design - an integration of natural materials, natural light, views of nature and other experiences of the natural world into the built environment - sounds pretty and good for the planet. But that hardly seems like enough of a reason for big companies to pay billions for biophilic designs. In fact, they are motivated by economics.
A study with employees of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District Call Center revealed that workers who had a view of the natural environment handled about 7% more calls than those who did not. The cost of reforming offices to give each employee an outdoor view was about $1,000 per employee, while their increased productivity added up to $2,900 in increased income per employee per year.
Another study by the Think Wood campaign concludes that nature can have a beneficial effect on creativity, concentration and well-being. Not only do cool-looking biophilic offices help companies recruit (招聘) talent in an incredibly tight labor market, but they also nudge the new talent to perform better at work.
"Being more creative and flexible with our workspace allows us to be more creative and productive in our work and the products we create. It's like a little getaway," said Bret Boulder, Head of Capital Assets.
Of course, small companies don't have a spare couple of billion to spend on "park-like" outdoor offices. But the good news is that biophilic design is not necessarily expensive. Even just staring at a neighboring green roof for less than a minute has been shown to boost productivity.
32. Where can you find the definition of biophilic design?
A. In paragraph 1. B. In paragraph 2. C. In paragraph 3. D. In paragraph 4
33. What does the underlined word "nudge" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Encourage. B. Anticipate. C. Remind. D. Promise
34. What effect can biophilic designs bring to offices?
A. Reduced building cost. B. Competitive atmosphere.
C. Limited workplace flexibility. D. Increased productivity.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Putting Nature to Work B. A Trend to Open New Offices
C. Living Naturally and Simply D. A Natural Building Designer

After my family got comfortably settled in Hotel Ramada in Bangkok, we started exploring the city. After endless hours of shopping, it was finally time to go back.
This was when the trouble started. We forgot there are two Ramada hotels in the opposite directions. Absolutely unaware of this, we started searching for the way back. Google maps suggested us the shortest route which was just 20 minutes away by walk. 36
Bangkok felt different after sunset. Walking along the heavily-crowded roads with the dark-red sky felt beautiful. Lost in our talk, we didn't realize that we passed onto the quieter part of the town 37 It was closed for redecoration. To our luck, nobody around us then spoke English. Worse still, we stepped in a local tuk-tuk (三轮车), which took us to an unknown area for an enormous pay. We had no idea where we were, our mobile phones nearly out of charge.
38 He was a taxi driver. Recounting the day's events proved to be a great conversation starter. We ended up talking through the way. He was so kind as to offer to drive us around for the rest of our stay. 39 For the next four days, from floating markets to the temples of Wat Pho, our trip wouldn't have been so trouble free without him.
Sometimes when things don't go according to plan, I think about the stranger we met on the streets and how a tiny mistake on our part led to unexpected results. 40
A. That was when our hero arrived.
B. Our thankfulness knew no bounds.
C. We reached a completely different Hotel Ramada.
D. We set off into the city with little research on transport.
E. We decided not to waste our money but our time instead.
F. The trip rings as a reminder that every cloud has a silver lining.
G. He then informed us that our hotel was just a few blocks away.

A few years ago, my wife Sue had some fairly serious health problems. She had suffered surgery after surgery and had also put on weight for several years. Diets had not helped her.
One day we sat down and drew up a "wish list" of the things we wanted most out of life. One of Sue's items was to run in a marathon. Given her history and physical limitations, I thought her goal was completely unrealistic, but Sue became committed to it.
She began by running very slowly around. Every day she ran just a little farther than she had the day before just one driveway more. "When will I ever be able to run a mile?" Sue asked one day.Soon she was running three. Then five. "We can change ourselves for the better and cause ourselves to pursue our most precious desires with almost total success," Sue said and registered to run in the St. George Marathon in southern Utah.
I drove the mountainous road from Cedar City to St. George. When the marathon began, I parked the car near the finish line and waited for Sue to come in. Five hours later, it was raining Steadily and the wind was cold. Several cold and injured runners had been transported past me, and l began to panic. The image of Sue, alone and cold, off the road somewhere, made me sick with worry.The fast and strong competitors had finished long ago, and runners were becoming fewer and fewer.Now I could not see anyone in either direction.
Almost all of the cars along the marathon route had left, and some normal traffic was beginning.I was able to drive directly up the race route. There were still no runners in view after driving almost two miles. Then I went around a bend in the road and spotted two runners running up ahead.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右：
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was Sue in the company of a girl runner, struggling.
