Cat lvers finally have the chance t understand what their pets are saying thanks t a smart cllar that can
Interpret mews and translate them int human speech.Named Catterbx,the cllar suppsedly has a digital sensr that detects mews,and uses a special prgram t interpret the meaning behind them.
Develped by Lndn ad agency adam & eve DDB,fr Temptatins cat treats,the inventin cmes preladed(预装)with a dictinary f cat mews and several ther sunds t make the interpretatin as accurate as pssible.“We’re fascinated by cats,s we set ut n a missin t get t knw them better,” said Pete Simmns,glbal brand directr f Temptatins.
The prmtin vide f the smart cllar claims that Catterbx,the wrld’s first talking cat cllar,is designed t finally help humans understand the meaning f mews.“Cats are ften thught f as independent pets quite hard t get t knw,s we set up The Temptatins Lab t find creative ways t inject even mre pleasure int a cat and its wner’s relatinship,” said Richard Brim,executive creative directr f adam&eveDDB.
“Studies shw cats nly mew in rder t cmmunicate with humans,” the vide adds.“S we set ut n a missin t get t knw them better.By analyzing different cat mews,we’ve designed a digital sensr that detects a cat’s mew and uses a unique prgram t turn it int a human vice.” S by using the cllar,wners can speak t their cats and expect a meaningful respnse.The respnses are delivered in a British accent,in a vice f the wner’s chice,selected thrugh a smartphne app paired with the cllar.
A few sample respnses are shwn n the cmpany’s YuTube channel—they are quite funny,but bviusly nt very cnvincing.In all prbability,Catterbx is useless thugh it has a very clever marketing means.

Rlling hills and endless green lands—thse images are easy t cme int yur mind when thinking f the charming cuntry lifestyle. When lckdwns fell n many cuntries acrss the wrld during the pandemic, scial media seemed t be dminated by pictures f cttages and village life. S, why is living in the cuntryside becming a mdern fantasy and are there benefits t cnsidering a slwer pace f life?
It makes sense that sme peple wuld want t give up the crwded and nisy city streets fr the quietness f the traditinal cuntry life, especially during an event like a pandemic. The lckdwns and extensive perids f wrking frm hme have given peple time t think abut what they want frm life. But it’s nt just abut having a greener place t lk at ut f yur windw.
There is mre evidence that relates t the benefits f rural living. Villages aren’t nrmally subject t the stp-g traffic we see in city centres, the buses fighting with taxis fr dminance, r subway systems with trains that scream frm ne statin t the next. In shrt, there’s less air pllutin in yur cuntry retreat (隐居处), a thing which increases the chances f develping lung r heart disease. Yu als get mre pprtunities t take lng walks and see the sights, meaning yu can get mre exercise. Less nise, mre walks and better air can als lead t less stress and an increased life expectancy.
Hwever, there are sme things that need t be cnsidered. Living far frm the crwded and nisy city means that sme peple may feel separated r even lnely. And as peple get lder, life far frm dctrs r public transprt culd becme a bit f a challenge. S, if yu’re cnsidering a change f pace and mving t a picturesque village, there is a range f prs and cns t cnsider befre ding it.
28. What d the underlined wrds “a thing” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Air Pllutin.B. Cuntry Retreat.C. Evidence.D. Scream.
29. Which f the fllwing is the ptential issues with mving t the cuntry?
①Cnservative lifestyle. ②Feeling cut ff frm the wrld. ③Difficult t get t the dctrs.
④Pr public transprt. ⑤Less exercise.
A. ①②③B. ②③⑤C. ②③④D. ③④⑤
30. What is the best title fr the text?
A. The Guide t Rural Living B. The Memry f Village Life
C. Living Far frm the City—A bit f Challenge D. Living in the Cuntryside—A Mdern Fantasy
31. What is the tne f the authr in the last paragraph?
A. Indifferent.B. Objective.C. Dubtful.D. Pessimistic.

Thanks t the prgress f artificial intelligence (AI), rbts have wn against human players in a number f games, such as chess, G game and even mahjng. And nw, AIpwered rbts are shwing their talent in prfessinal curling (冰壶).
Recently, a rbt team named Curly has drawn much attentin as it successfully beat tw R．O. Krean natinal curling teams. Researchers frm Krea University in R．O. Krea, and the Berlin Institute f Technlgy in Germany develped the rbt.
Curling is a challenging sprt that requires a mix f precisin and strategy. In the game, a player called the “thrwer” gently slides the stne and releases it befre a bundary called the “hgline”. The stne slides dwn t the target, knwn as the “huse”. An ppsing team des the same, s bth teams accumulate stnes in the same huse. At the end f the rund, the team with a stne clsest t the center f the target gets a pint.
This requires the players t figure ut the frce and angle needed t slide a heavy stne in rder t land it in the huse r make it int anther psitin. Players als have t frm a strategy t prevent the ppnent frm getting their stnes clsest t the center f the huse. And apparently, Curly has made prgress in mastering these skills.
Curly is a team f tw rbts: One is respnsible fr bserving the psitin f the stnes at the scring end, while the ther des the thrwing. But hw was this rbt prgrammed t achieve this?
Researchers built a simulatin (模拟) f a curling game fr the rbts t play arund. In the simulatin, the researchers apprximated the physics f the real wrld as best as they culd, cnsidering varius cnditins, such as the ice surface and the psitins f stnes. Then, there is curling strategy. The rbts were trained in different situatins t deal with varius thrws. The researchers fund that Curly adapted t many variables (变量) f the game the same way a persn wuld.
This shws that a rbt can bserve the real wrld and act accrdingly in a precise and strategic manner, which is a sign f a prmising future fr the everexpanding use f AI.
32．What d we knw abut the team f rbts named Curly?
A．It can play different kinds f sprts. B．It defeated human players in sprts games.
C．It is mre advanced in sprts than ther rbts. D．It was develped by researchers frm R．O. Krea.
33．What des paragraph 3 mainly talk abut?
A．The way t play curling. B．The use f AI in sprts cmpetitins.
C．The ways Curly can be imprved. D．The reasns why Curly was invented.
34．What did researchers find ut abut Curly when it was being trained?
A．It culd cnsider different cnditins. B．It culd develp new game strategies.
C．It culd build a simulatin f a game. D．It culd cpy what human players d.
35．What attitude des the authr have tward AI technlgies?
A．Wrried. B．Uncncerned. C．Annyed. D．Hpeful.

Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line t buy tickets fr the circus. Finally, there was nly ne family between us and the ticket cunter.
This family made a big impressin n me. There were eight children, all prbably under the age f twelve. Yu culd tell they didn’t have a lt f mney.
Their clthes were nt expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all f them standing in line, tw-by-tw behind their parents, hlding hands. They were excitedly talking abut the clwns, elephants, and ther acts they wuld see that night with their brthers r sisters in a lw vice.
One culd sense they had never been t the circus befre. It prmised t be highlight f their yung lives. The father and mther were at the head f the pack, standing prud as culd be. The mther was hlding her husband’s hand, lking up at him as if t say, “Yu are my knight in shining armr.”
He was smiling and respnding in pride, lking back at her as if t say, “Yu gt that right.” The ticket lady asked the father hw many tickets he wanted. He prudly respnded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and tw adult tickets s I can take my family t the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let g f his hand, her head drpped, and his lips began t shake. The father leaned a little clser and asked, “Hw much did yu say?”
The ticket lady again quted the price. The man didn’t have enugh mney.
Hw was he suppsed t turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enugh mney t take them t the circus?
Actually we were nt wealthy in any sense. S I understand hw the kids wuld feel. I felt srry fr them.

Cat lvers finally have the chance t understand what their pets are saying thanks t a smart cllar that can
Interpret mews and translate them int human speech.Named Catterbx,the cllar suppsedly has a digital sensr that detects mews,and uses a special prgram t interpret the meaning behind them.
Develped by Lndn ad agency adam & eve DDB,fr Temptatins cat treats,the inventin cmes preladed(预装)with a dictinary f cat mews and several ther sunds t make the interpretatin as accurate as pssible.“We’re fascinated by cats,s we set ut n a missin t get t knw them better,” said Pete Simmns,glbal brand directr f Temptatins.
The prmtin vide f the smart cllar claims that Catterbx,the wrld’s first talking cat cllar,is designed t finally help humans understand the meaning f mews.“Cats are ften thught f as independent pets quite hard t get t knw,s we set up The Temptatins Lab t find creative ways t inject even mre pleasure int a cat and its wner’s relatinship,” said Richard Brim,executive creative directr f adam&eveDDB.
“Studies shw cats nly mew in rder t cmmunicate with humans,” the vide adds.“S we set ut n a missin t get t knw them better.By analyzing different cat mews,we’ve designed a digital sensr that detects a cat’s mew and uses a unique prgram t turn it int a human vice.” S by using the cllar,wners can speak t their cats and expect a meaningful respnse.The respnses are delivered in a British accent,in a vice f the wner’s chice,selected thrugh a smartphne app paired with the cllar.
A few sample respnses are shwn n the cmpany’s YuTube channel—they are quite funny,but bviusly nt very cnvincing.In all prbability,Catterbx is useless thugh it has a very clever marketing means.

Rlling hills and endless green lands—thse images are easy t cme int yur mind when thinking f the charming cuntry lifestyle. When lckdwns fell n many cuntries acrss the wrld during the pandemic, scial media seemed t be dminated by pictures f cttages and village life. S, why is living in the cuntryside becming a mdern fantasy and are there benefits t cnsidering a slwer pace f life?
It makes sense that sme peple wuld want t give up the crwded and nisy city streets fr the quietness f the traditinal cuntry life, especially during an event like a pandemic. The lckdwns and extensive perids f wrking frm hme have given peple time t think abut what they want frm life. But it’s nt just abut having a greener place t lk at ut f yur windw.
There is mre evidence that relates t the benefits f rural living. Villages aren’t nrmally subject t the stp-g traffic we see in city centres, the buses fighting with taxis fr dminance, r subway systems with trains that scream frm ne statin t the next. In shrt, there’s less air pllutin in yur cuntry retreat (隐居处), a thing which increases the chances f develping lung r heart disease. Yu als get mre pprtunities t take lng walks and see the sights, meaning yu can get mre exercise. Less nise, mre walks and better air can als lead t less stress and an increased life expectancy.
Hwever, there are sme things that need t be cnsidered. Living far frm the crwded and nisy city means that sme peple may feel separated r even lnely. And as peple get lder, life far frm dctrs r public transprt culd becme a bit f a challenge. S, if yu’re cnsidering a change f pace and mving t a picturesque village, there is a range f prs and cns t cnsider befre ding it.
28. What d the underlined wrds “a thing” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Air Pllutin.B. Cuntry Retreat.C. Evidence.D. Scream.

Thanks t the prgress f artificial intelligence (AI), rbts have wn against human players in a number f games, such as chess, G game and even mahjng. And nw, AIpwered rbts are shwing their talent in prfessinal curling (冰壶).
Recently, a rbt team named Curly has drawn much attentin as it successfully beat tw R．O. Krean natinal curling teams. Researchers frm Krea University in R．O. Krea, and the Berlin Institute f Technlgy in Germany develped the rbt.
Curling is a challenging sprt that requires a mix f precisin and strategy. In the game, a player called the “thrwer” gently slides the stne and releases it befre a bundary called the “hgline”. The stne slides dwn t the target, knwn as the “huse”. An ppsing team des the same, s bth teams accumulate stnes in the same huse. At the end f the rund, the team with a stne clsest t the center f the target gets a pint.
This requires the players t figure ut the frce and angle needed t slide a heavy stne in rder t land it in the huse r make it int anther psitin. Players als have t frm a strategy t prevent the ppnent frm getting their stnes clsest t the center f the huse. And apparently, Curly has made prgress in mastering these skills.
Curly is a team f tw rbts: One is respnsible fr bserving the psitin f the stnes at the scring end, while the ther des the thrwing. But hw was this rbt prgrammed t achieve this?
Researchers built a simulatin (模拟) f a curling game fr the rbts t play arund. In the simulatin, the researchers apprximated the physics f the real wrld as best as they culd, cnsidering varius cnditins, such as the ice surface and the psitins f stnes. Then, there is curling strategy. The rbts were trained in different situatins t deal with varius thrws. The researchers fund that Curly adapted t many variables (变量) f the game the same way a persn wuld.
This shws that a rbt can bserve the real wrld and act accrdingly in a precise and strategic manner, which is a sign f a prmising future fr the everexpanding use f AI.
32．What d we knw abut the team f rbts named Curly?
A．It can play different kinds f sprts. B．It defeated human players in sprts games.

Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line t buy tickets fr the circus. Finally, there was nly ne family between us and the ticket cunter.
This family made a big impressin n me. There were eight children, all prbably under the age f twelve. Yu culd tell they didn’t have a lt f mney.
Their clthes were nt expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all f them standing in line, tw-by-tw behind their parents, hlding hands. They were excitedly talking abut the clwns, elephants, and ther acts they wuld see that night with their brthers r sisters in a lw vice.
One culd sense they had never been t the circus befre. It prmised t be highlight f their yung lives. The father and mther were at the head f the pack, standing prud as culd be. The mther was hlding her husband’s hand, lking up at him as if t say, “Yu are my knight in shining armr.”
He was smiling and respnding in pride, lking back at her as if t say, “Yu gt that right.” The ticket lady asked the father hw many tickets he wanted. He prudly respnded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and tw adult tickets s I can take my family t the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let g f his hand, her head drpped, and his lips began t shake. The father leaned a little clser and asked, “Hw much did yu say?”
The ticket lady again quted the price. The man didn’t have enugh mney.
Hw was he suppsed t turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enugh mney t take them t the circus?
Actually we were nt wealthy in any sense. S I understand hw the kids wuld feel. I felt srry fr them.
