Some libraries use unique architecture to encourage visitors to explore the bookshelves and settle down with a new book, or use roving libraries to bring books to hard-to-reach populations. No matter how they achieve it, these novel libraries are keeping the magic of reading alive.

Bishan Library （Singapore）

Built in 2006, this library with skylights and trellises, is meant to invoke a modern glass treehouse. Glass pods of varying colors stick out of the building randomly to create cozy yet airy corners for reading throughout the building. At the same time, a more open-plan children's room on the basement level invites interaction while preventing noise from filtering upward and disturbing those concentrating in the lofty perches above.

Stuttgart City Library （Stuttgart, Germany）

Opened in 2011, this nine-story public library is characterized by its attractive white color scheme （lit by blue light at night）, its bold cubic shape. This cultural center for the city, designed to feel open and full of light, can be entered from any of its four sides, and people can borrow artwork as well as books.

The Camel Library Service （North Eastern Province, Kenya）

To combat low literacy rates in the desert of Kenya, the government created a roaming library composed of nine camels bringing books to villages. The library travels four days a week serving the region's nomadic people. With more funding, they plan to increase their reach both in distance and the books they carry.

Macquarie University Library （Sydney, Australia）

A wonderful combination of cutting-edge and sustainable ideas, this building was made from recycled materials, features a green roof, and was designed to look like the shape of a eucalyptus tree. It is also state of the art, using robot cranes to bring requested books to the front desk.

21. Which of the following can offer the service of lending artwork?

A. Bishan Library.

B. Stuttgart City Library.

C. The Camel Library Service.

D. Macquarie University Library.

It was several days after my mom had passed away and I was at a loss how to carry on with my life. Therefore, when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to be heart-breaking, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.

But a general responsibility for game organizing made me obliged（有义务的）to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team's website daily, feeling proud each time a donation added to our total. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by. When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in.

Therefore, I enrolled in another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it was ambitious. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn't come in last. I followed it religiously and didn't let anything get in my way.

Running up and down the city's hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale's, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument there.

I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis of cancer. “I don't want you to feel guilty about anything. ” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.

When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on.

Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.

24. Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning?

A. She felt it hard to finish the race.

B. She had no time to join in the event.

C. She thought the research meaningless.

D. She was reminded of her mother's death.

25. What mainly helped the author recover from her mom's death?

A. The company of her friends.

B. The inspiration from her mom.

C. The pleasure in going for a run.

D. The success in organizing an event.

26. Which of the words can best describe the author's mom?

A. Considerate and polite.

B. Brave and humorous.

C. Strong-willed and caring.

D. Outgoing and patient.

27. What might be the best title for the passage?

A. How I Got Healed in Running

B. The Loss of Sweet Memories

C. What Matters Most in Running

D. The Rewards of Great Friendship

C

Of all the peculiar and fascinating creatures living under the sea, perhaps jellyfish are the strangest. Some jellyfish species have a bad reputation for scaring away tourists and blocking power station pipes. But with an increasing number of plastic garbage ending up in the sea, these days you're as likely to swim into a plastic bag as a jellyfish. Now scientific research is discovering that these rubbery sea creatures might provide an answer-a sticky solution to the problem of plastic pollution.

In recent years, tiny pieces of plastic called microplastic have been a significant problem for the world's seas and oceans. These plastics are invisible to the eye and aren't caught by seawater treatment plants due to their small size, so they enter our system and harm our health. They've been found in many places-in Arctic ice, at the bottom of the sea and even inside animals. Slovenian scientist, Dr Ana Rotter, heads GoJelly, a European research team of jellyfish ecologists looking into the problem.

Microplastics are becoming an increasing problem. Dr Ana Rotter says when she was a child, people were more environmentally friendly-not harmful to the environment or having the least possible impact on it. At that time, there were very few single-use plastics. The situation since then has changed dramatically. In fact, there's been such an increase in microplastics that today the UN lists plastic pollution as one of the world's top environmental threats.

But how do jellyfish fit into the story? Well, it's the “jelly” part of jellyfish, and specifically their sticky, jelly-like mucus that is key. Jellyfish produce a thick, sticky liquid called mucus. Dr Ana Rotter has discovered that this mucus has strong absorptive capabilities-it can absorb, take in liquids and other substances. One of the substances jellyfish mucus absorbs are the particles that make up microplastics.

Dr Rotter's research is still in the early stages, but it's hoped that jellyfish mucus could hold the key to a future free of microplastic polluted oceans. Scientists are hoping that the mucus's absorptive properties will allow it to trap particles of plastic floating in the sea. By trapping these, the mucus acts like a magnet-an object that attracts certain materials, like metal, but in this case, microplastic waste.

28. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about __.

A. where microplastics can be found

B. why microplastics can harm our health

C. what problems the seas and oceans are facing

D. how the research was carried out by the scientist

29. What can we learn from this passage?

A. Jellyfish species cause a great threat to the sea.

B. Jellyfish species like to swim and live in plastic bags.

C. Jellyfish mucus can attract metals and break them down.

D. Jellyfish mucus can absorb liquids and some other substances.

30. What does the underlined word “properties” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?

A. Qualities.

B. Substances.

C. Choices.

D. Materials.

31. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?

A. To show the harm that sea and ocean pollution brings to human beings.

B. To introduce the living habits of the weird and wonderful creatures in the sea.

C. To provide a new method for collecting data on environmental threats in the sea.

D. To inform a promising scientific finding for dealing with plastic pollution in the sea.

D

It all started when I typed a perfectly reasonable prompt （提示词）into one of several apps on the market that can create an image based on text. “Skull space laser dinosaur starship explosion, ” I wrote. The app processed for a few seconds, and returned four images, one of which was strangely accurate: a dinosaur-looking skull screamed out of an empty space, trailing fire. Text-to-image AIs identify images by looking at the text that people have used to describe those pictures online. When the app got my prompt, it studied images that random people had described as “dinosaur” or laser and soon then used what is called a diffusion model（扩散模型）to add a bunch of random chaos to those pictures. Once they were suitably completed, it“upscaled” them, removing noise and sharpening focus. Its work is so good that an artist using it recently won first place for digital images at the Colorado State Fair.

But there is the question of all the other pictures online that are being transformed into AI-generated masterpieces. As many artists have pointed out, their works are being used without payment. The image-generating algorithm（算法）creates illustrations and even movies by using data sets stocked with art stolen from artists who post their works online.

Some AI researchers argue that their algorithms aren't stealing from artists so much as learning from them just as human artists learn from each other. But a more ethical approach would be for companies to acknowledge their debt to artists and create a model of voluntary collective licensing, much like what radio stations first did in radio's early days. Back then, musicians created groups like BMI to collectively license their music to radio stations-then BMI would pay artists based on how often their songs were played. Perhaps artists and art institutions today could form a “collecting society” that would allow companies to license their artwork for data sets.

To create ethical AI systems, we need to acknowledge the people whose work makes those systems so magical. We can't simply take advantage of every image online - we need humans to manage those data sets and we need to pay them to do it.

32. What can we learn about Text-to-image Als from the first two paragraphs?

A. They are developed to process pictures.

B. They are used to describe online pictures.

C. They use a diffusion model to beautify pictures.

D. They create their works based on online pictures.

33. One of the issues raised by the success of Text-to-image AIs is ___.

A. the influence upon art creation

B. the availability of online pictures

C. the neglect of the artists' copyright

D. the prospect of artists being replaced

34. Why did the author mention BMI in Paragraph 4?

A. To introduce the role that BMI played in AI history.

B. To present a way to regulate the use of online pictures.

C. To prove the necessity of licensing music to radio stations.

D. To demonstrate the urgency of forming a collecting society.

35. What can we infer from the passage?

A. It is not practical to improve the image-generating algorithm.

B. The function of Text-to-image AIs shouldn't be underestimated.

C. Human efforts should be valued in the application of Text-to-image AIs.

D. Companies should be held responsible for the illegal pictures on public websites.

Recent years have witnessed the increasing popularity of such apps as WeChat and TikTok. 36 Also TikTok is already a household name globally, maybe one of the Chinese brands to be truly recognized universally.

WeChat is particularly relied upon as a secure part of the structure of our technologically advancing societies. 37

Moreover, a court in Haidian allows litigants（诉讼当事人）to communicate with their lawyers through WeChat video connections.

Many features of WeChat alongside its well-thought-out design have meant that the app has dominated its competitors domestically.

The ability to move through web pages without tags and save articles alongside other offline content within the app simplified the online experience. 38 This is a fantastic application designed to combine the comprehensive nature of the web experience with the simplistic convenience of mobile apps.

39 An example is that users, when opening an app such as WeChat, will simply at first see the content that had been previously browsing, allowing them to pick up where they left off, much like reading a book.

The intuitive（直观的）design is what makes WeChat not just an app in communicating with friends and family. 40 You can also order a taxi through it. All of these extra features come down to the one single universal strength of detail in design and multiple app service integration.

A. Residents in Guangzhou can use the app to store their ID cards.

B. Many may bring up the fact that you can pay for goods and services.

C. WeChat alone, as of 2020, boasts more than 1 billion users worldwide.

D. The app itself has no doubt also been an influence on many Western apps.

E. In a web browser, a user saves a list of favorite sites for future use while browsing.

F. Users didn't have to switch constantly from app to app depending on the type of multimedia they consumed.

G. The continuity（连续性）in the online and offline browsing experience makes WeChat successful in keeping our attention.

Water on the Moon

NASA has confirmed the presence of water on the moon's sunlit surface, a breakthrough 61 （suggest） the chemical compound that is vital to life on Earth could be distributed across more parts of the lunar surface than the ice that 62 （find） previously in dark and cold areas.

“We don't know yet if we can use it as a resource, ” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said, but he added that learning more about the water is still crucial.

The discovery comes from the space agency's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA- a 63 （modify） Boeing 747 that can take telescope high1 into Earth's atmosphere, 64 researchers may peer at objects in space with hardly any visual disturbance from water vapor. To detect the molecules, SOFIA also used a special camera to distinguish between water's specific wavelength of 6. 1 microns and that of its close chemical relative hydroxyl, or OH.

The data confirm 65 experts have suspected, that water might exist on the moon's sunny surface, though the form of it shall not be _66 （obvious）detected. Experts will now try to figure out exactly how the water came to form and why it persists.

“Data from this location reveal water in concentration of 100 to 412 parts per million trapped 67 a cubic meter of soil, ” NASA said in a release about the discovery. “ 68 without a thick atmosphere, water on the sunlit lunar surface should just be lost to space, ” said Casey Honniball, the lead author of a study about the discovery, “somehow we're actually seeing it. ”

There are several possible 69 （explain） for the water's presence, including an interesting yet reasonable one 70 （claim） its origin to the stony micro objects from space. Small balls of glass from that process could trap water, according to the researchers' paper.
