A teenager has created “the entire known universe" in the popular computer game Minecraft over the course of two months. In the game's creative mode, players can build structures using blocks.

Eighteen-year-old Christopher Slayton started by building the Earth. He used a globe to measure the exact location of every continent lo perfectly copy the planet. He went on to build planets, stars, galaxies and space gas.

In a video, Slayton explained that he started skydiving so he could see the planet from a different perspective, before using mathematical concepts to make sure that the universe was made to an accurate scale. In order to fit all of the planets in the universe into the simulation（模拟），every planet would need to be 700,000 times smaller.

Eventually, Slayton was working on structures that are much larger than the Earth, like the sun. He used the brightest blocks in the game to build the star， adding solar flares （光） to make it “feel alive＂.

Building even larger structures-such as the Pillars of Creation, elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula-took Slayton two days to simply make the colors accurate, before painting the stars and their shine in the background.

Many other impressive builds have been made in Minecraft. In 2020, a player created a life-size recreation of the Earth, bypassing the game's built-in height limit to recreate Mount Everest and the Grand Canyon at their full scale.

The game is also a powerful learning tool for geography, history and even finance. “Minecraft exposes children to complicated financial systems, "teacher Gaming co-founder Joel Levin told The Independent. “Perhaps the most effective experiences come from having teachers get out of the way and letting the students play on their own. With a bit of coaching, this type of experience can lead to amazing conversations about digital citizenship, online identity and responsibility," Levin said.

24.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?

A.Getting the scale right.

A.Minecraft,a Good Learning Tool

B.Minecraft,a Model of the Universe

C.Impressive Builds Made in Minecraft

D.A Teen Recreates the Universe in Minecraft

With new technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, smart agriculture is expected to bring about essential changes to traditional agriculture in China.

Shi Yun, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said China would realize fully mechanized, automated, and digital agriculture through developing precision agricultural technologies.

Precision agriculture is an agricultural management system aimed at optimizing inputs to achieve the most economic and environmental benefits, using technologies including remote sensing and satellite navigation. Precision agriculture is able to bring down labor costs，save water，fertilizers（肥料）and pesticides, and reduce unnecessary decision-making errors. So far, demonstration bases for smart agriculture have been built in 13 areas including Beijing,  Heilongjiang province and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Precision irrigation-for instance，drip irrigation（滴流灌溉）-can greatly decrease costs and increase the efficiency of water and fertilizer use. By increasing soil temperature, storing water, and controlling diseases, the technique has improved water and fertilizer use. Meanwhile, it has improved cotton quality and increased cotton production in Xinjiang.

“Other technologies for precision agriculture such as plant protection drones （ 尤人机）and harvesting robots can also save resources and costs, increasing farmers' incomes and reducing their economic losses caused by natural disasters," Shi said. Drones can automatically generate routes by accessing high-definition farmland maps, fly and spray accurately, and provide standardized agricultural services.

However, the development of precision agriculture still faces challenges and falls behind developed countries. Some core equipment and techniques, such as parts of agricultural sensors, still rely on imports, and big shortages remain in smart agriculture technicians. Besides, more financial support is needed to comprehensively promote smart agriculture nationwide. Since artificial intelligence and robotics have been applied in China for a relatively short time, it is necessary to open up a modern path with Chinese characteristics based on local conditions.

28.What are the benefits of precision agriculture?

A.Improving the environment and saving fertilizers.

B.Bringing down labor costs and avoiding mistakes.

C.Increasing efficiency and removing some diseases.

D.Generating farmland maps and providing services.

29.What does the underlined word “optimizing" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.Getting something done conveniently.

B.Holding a positive attitude to something.

C.Making something as effective as possible.

D.Employing a traditional way to do something.

30.How can precision agriculture be developed properly?

A.Importing equipment from some developed countries.

B.Working out ways to suit local conditions in different areas.

C.Using artificial intelligence and robotics to develop modern cities.

D.Seeking financial support abroad to improve the production of crops.

31.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Smart agriculture has replaced traditional agriculture.

B.Artificial intelligence depends on plant protection drones.

C.Precision agriculture helps boost agricultural modulization.

D. Demonstration bases for smart agriculture have been built throughout China.

On the eve of this week's rail strikes, it was reported that the industry bosses are planning to weed out paper train tickles and close almost 1,000 station ticket offices in England. The transport secretary, Grant Shapps, has made no secret of his desire to see costs saved in this way. Some stations sell only a handful of tickles each week and the vast majority of transactions（交易）have moved online.

In the name of cost-cutting, station ticket offices are likely to follow the telephone booth on the comer and become memory. For those who have grown used to the benefits of organizing travel via smart phones, there will be little to feel sorry for. But for people without online access or skills-who tend to be older, poorer, and more fragile--·another social bonier will have been built.

From medical appointments to payment apps for parking, more and more key services are now delivered digitally. As this revolution takes place, the interests of a significant minority are being ignored to some extent. In the case of health and social care, for example, it will often be those most in need of assistance who are least able to employ electronic devices.

The debate over ticket offices offers an opportunity to reflect more broadly on the increasing role of technology in our social landscape. The unavoidable trend towards technology is predictable, but  its possible consequences need to be managed with more care. With the expanding range and increasing complexity of digital requirements, the aged are gradually withdrawing from increasing social services in their lives. Ros Altmann, the former pensions minister, recently wrote of being contacted by an elderly woman who no longer drives to her local park, because she cannot download the car parking app required.

Much more needs to be invested in helping gain cays online access. Alternative offline options must be maintained for important services. Contactable telephone numbers of relevant staff should always be available. These will cost more. But that is the price of digital transformation.

32.Why are the station ticket offices in England planned for closure?

A.To cut down some expenses.

B.To minimize the use of public transportation.

C.To increase related job opportunities.

D.To make changes to the paper train tickets.

33. Why does the author mention “the telephone booth” in Paragraph 2?

A.To indicate ticket offices will become a thing of the past.

B.To miss the old memories when telephone booths were in use.

C.To show ticket offices are more fashionable than telephone booths.

D.To describe the negative impact of telephone booths on ticket offices.

34.Which of the following suggestions is NOT mentioned about digital transformation?

A. Necessary phone services.

C.More convenient online access.

B.More diverse online services.

D.Alternalive offline transactions.

35.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The importance and classification of digital services.

B.The views and attitudes of the elderly towards technology.

C.The advantages and shortcomings of station ticket offices.

D.The division and inconvenience caused by digital transformation.

The Best Worst Thanksgiving

It was Thanksgiving morning. This year the Li family was traveling from their home in Virginia to Grandma and Grandpa Li' s house in Florida. Nine-year-old Zara Li had been excited about the trip. But she found out that their beloved dog, Tucker, had to slay al a doghouse. Tucker was her best friend in the entire world. On the way to Florida, she already missed it.

In the car seat next to her, Zara’s little sister, Piper, kicked her feet and sang the alphabet song. Suddenly, Piper reached over and grabbed the dog toy off Zara's lap.

“Quit it,  Piper!” Zara cried. She tried to pull it back, but Piper held on tight. All of a sudden, cloud of white stuffing flew in the air with a ripping sound. “You are such a baby!" she screamed, causing Piper to burst into tears.

“Zara,”  Mom sighed, “Piper didn't ruin Tucker's toy on purpose. She's only four years old. You're the big sister, so be nice."

Zara bit her lip and stared out of the window. She was always getting into trouble for not being nice enough to Piper. Her parents didn't gel that Piper was wrong either. Sometimes Zara pretended that she didn't have a sister at all. This was turning into the worst Thanksgiving ever.

The way to Grandma and Grandpa's house was dark and stormy. Suddenly, Dad pulled the car over. “Uh-oh! It looks like we're not going anywhere,”  Mom announced. Zara saw a giant oak tree completely blocking the road.

“The wind must have knocked it down," declared Dad.

“Grandma and Grandpa's house is only two blocks away," Mom replied. “We can walk the rest of the way. A little rain never hurt anyone.”

They all climbed out of the car. Wind and rain whipped Zara's hair into her face. It was hard to keep her eyes open against the wind. “You'd better hold onto my hand, Piper," Zara cautioned, but Piper didn't respond. Zara looked behind her, but Piper wasn't there. She wasn't with Mom or Dad, either.  “Mom! Dad! Where's Piper?" Zara shouted in panic.  “Piper! Piper!" everyone called. The wind seemed to blow their voices away. Then Zara heard a strange sound coming from the bushes nearby. 注意：
