After an evening playing the bingo game at the Hotel &Casino, bartender Jill Bien, 48, boarded a bus bound for Chicago, where she lives. About 35 miles into the 90-mile trip, Jill felt the bus drive away onto the right shoulder of 1-94.The bus scraped(擦挂) a concrete barrier, and then turned back into traffic.

“Stop the bus!” Jill yelled to the driver from her seat just behind him. But then she saw his seat was empty. The driver, James Rogers,68, lay unconscious in the bus's stairwell."Call911!” Jill screamed, and with the bus rushing in and out of traffic at about 60 mph in an uncontrollable way, she leaped into the driver's seat and grabbed the wheel.

“My life flashed before my eyes," Jill says now. “Everyone on the bus was bouncing around; they were lying in the aisle(通道). l thought, I don't want anybody to get hurt.” Jill carefully turned the bus onto the shoulder, bringing it to a stop.

“Thank God she got that bus over to the side," says Marge Borkowski, who was a passenger that night. “She's my hero." Emergency personnel arrived a few minutes later and took 11 of the bus's 34 passengers to the hospital, where doctors treated them for minor injuries. When Jill returned home after the accident, she "burst out crying" she says. "I kept visualizing it."

Despite anxiety and injuries, Jill boarded a bus back to the casino two days later. "l didn't want my fear to build up," she said. Kenosha County policeman Dan Ruth, who was at the scene of the accident, told reporters he hasn't witnessed an act more heroic than Jill's in his 18 years on the job." It could have been much, much worse," he says.

Comitted to helping humans communicate with and understand as many species as possible，a California-based nonprofit organization, Earth Species Project(ESP)is taking the lead.

“We are species-independent,"Raskin said to The Guardian, adding that ESP is developing translation algorithms(算法)that can be applied to biological systems of all kinds, from worms to whales. Raskin acknowledges that the goal is similar to going to the moon. Instead, the ESP roadmap involves solving a series of smaller problems to achieve the big picture. These tools will assist researchers in revealing the secrets of species under study using artificial intelligence.

Bees, for instance, do a special "waggle dance” to signal to each other that they should land on a certain flower, which is a form of non-verbal communication. A noisy social environment can make it difficult to determine which animal is making the sound within a group. This phenomenon is known as the “cocktailparty problem”.

Though there are many challenges, some progress has been made, such as an algorithm that can produce imitated animal sounds to talk directly with them.

“It's making the AI speak the language, although we don't know what it means yet," Raskin said, "These are the tools that allow us to understand entire communication systems.”As we can see, Artificial Intelligence is once again being used by scientists to break barriers and open new doors that would otherwise be unopenable. More and more scientists are turning towards artificial intelligence for help in various fields, despite many well-known scientists warning that AI must be controlled and looked over.

Last year, a former Google engineer claimed that the AI was sentient (有感知能力的). Although this isn't likely to be the case, it shows just how far artificial intelligence has progressed. Interestingly, and in a somewhat connection to ESP, Professor Avi Loeb has proposed that Artificial Intelligence developed by humans could one day maybe identify Alien Al and communicate with it.

28. Which statement would Raskin probably agree with?

A. The purpose of EPS is to land on the the moon.

B. Researchers are studying independent animals.

C. Solving challenging problems is just the priority.

D.AI will offer humans help to understand animals.

29.Why does the author mention “waggle dance” and “cocktail party problem”?

A. To show recent discoveries researchers made.

B. To demonstrate difficulties researchers face.

C. To reveal the secrets of species to the public.

D. To arouse readers' interest in certain animals.

30. What can we know about Al in Paragraph 5?

A. Al has been abandoned by scientists.

B. Al is gradually taking scientists' place.

C. Scientists have different opinions of Al.

D. Problems can only be solved by Al alone.

31. What does Professor Avi Loeb imply in the last paragraph?

A. People need to lay great stress on the alien communication.

B. Al needs to be constantly updated to match alien technology.

C. We'll be surely able to communicate with aliens aided by AI.

D. Al has a great potentiality in the field of scientific research.

D

When I was nine years old, I was desperately in love with a man who was 40 years my senior. Don't worry; Mickey Dolenz of The Monkees didn't even know I existed because he'd stopped being an actor 20years earlier. But that didn't stop me from decorating my books with love hearts.

The Monkees were entirely manufactured, but as a product they were a success: they used the media to develop a bond between an audience member and her target. In their TV show, they regularly broke the fourth wall, throwing knowing winks(眨眼)to camera, and shared their funny behind-the-scenes lives. They made us think we knew them, as a friend.

This kind of “parasocial relationship”(准社交关系)has long roots in media. Radio characters like Lonesome Gal started her program with, "Sweetie, I love you," speaking directly to her listeners in the the1950s. Each individual felt he had her undivided attention. She was an entirely virtual girlfriend, at a time when the word had nothing to do with technology.

Parasocial relationships have become a means to an end in the digital age, now that selling yourself has become a way of life. Using these relationships is how you gain followers, credibility and influence. But once you start to gain a critical mass, the relationship necessarily transforms— at least in the eye of the digital personality. You can speak directly to one fan, or even five. But it's not possible to respond to the10,000 people who subscribe to your TikTok. What was once a close and friendly relationship turns into a business transaction(交易).

Rising social media stars have to manage themselves and their boundaries. That's one of the most undeveloped skills in the digital age. Today's parasocial relationships are surfing unknown territory, so it is expected that they—we—will make mistakes. And who is there to help when we've put ourselves out there online?

32.What do we know about a parasocial relationship?

A. It isn't developed without mutual understanding.

B. It isn't healthy or beneficial at all to either side.

C. It is a relationship that enjoys good interaction.

D. It is an imaginary relationship with a celebrity.

33.What do the underlined words “broke the fourth wall” mean in Paragraph 2?

A. Stepped down from the stage.   B. Interacted with the audience.

C. Removed bricks of the wall.   D. Engaged with photographers.

34.What has caused the change of the relationship between fans and internet celebrities?

A. The expansion of digital marketing.  B. The intentional ignorance of fans.

C. The increase in the number of fans.  D. The lack of communication skills.

35. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To raise public concern.    B. To present a scientific study.

C. To give a full explanation.    D. To express personal feelings.

Work from Anywhere Movement

For a lot of us, working from wherever we wanted was a bit of a dream. It would mean we'd be able to visit family and not take holiday days. But suddenly that “dream” of not working in the office became a reality for many. Working from home over the last years has proven that it isn't always necessary for teams to physically be together and there is more flexibility.   36   

An obvious benefit for many employers is reduced costs. With a widespread workforce, there's no need to have an office big enough for everyone. They also save on travel costs, as meetings that once “needed" to be done face- to- face can now be done online.   37   With the work from anywhere movement, employers can hire global talents. They're not restricted to people living nearby.

   38   In an ever changing and developing working world, offering benefits like this could be what makes a company stand out from another for a specific candidate.

For many employees, working from anywhere supports mental health.   39   Imagine ending a particularly stressful meeting. Rather than going back to your office desk, you step out your door and have a coffee in the sun or walk along a beach. In Addition, working from anywhere allows you to have a better work-life balance. It lets you travel to see family, watch your daughter's soccer game, and go to the little bakery —all while being paid.   40   

A. But it's not only about money.

B. However, every coin has two sides.

C. It decreases stress and other concerns.

D. Your time is spent on the things that matter.

E. There are a lot of benefits for companies and workers.

F. Offering remote job positions makes a company more competitive.

G. Offices are increasingly where you go to put the company into company.

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。

A group of boys ran to small parts of mud to play. l joined them. One boy held up a worm(蠕虫); and with an extremely strong pull, he tore the poor creature in half.

How could anyone be so cruel? I ran to the nearest playground supervisor(主管人)to report the incident. The supervisor sighed and waved me away. Something had to be done.

When I returned to the mud, I inspected the two halves of the worm and was astonished to find that they were still moving. I quickly picked up the worms and a little extra dirt and put them into my jeans pocket.

A few minutes before lunch, I tiptoed to the bin that held the class's lunch boxes, looking for the one that belonged to the Worm Ripper, the boy who had torn the worm cruelly. Fortunately for me, I recognized it immediately. I looked behind me to be sure no one saw me before slipping the worm pieces inside the plastic baggie that held his apple slices.

l held my breath as the Worm Ripper pulled the apple slices from his lunchbox. When he noticed the worm, he let out a sharp cry, which brought the lunchroom supervisors to him.

l should've felt triumphant(大获全胜的).Instead, my heart pounded in my chest. I knew what I had to do.I walked up to lunch supervisors and admitted, "It was me! I put the worm in his lunchbox.”

The Worm Ripper glared in my direction. One supervisor rubbed his back to comfort him, while the other ordered me to go to the headmistress's office.

Headmistress Lehrer was a strict old woman. My best friend Ricky said she would look students in the eye, making them tell her everything bad they had ever done. Then they were punished by writing apologies until their hands fell off. I expected to at least receive a severe scolding(训斥).

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。

After I told her the truth, with a kind of strange smile on her lips, she went down on her knees.                                                                       

The next day, not allowed to go out for break, I stared out and watched a boy by the mud pile picking up worm.

After I told her the truth, with a kind of strange smile on her lips, she went down on her knees. “When I was your age, I got mad at someone for hurting my friend. They apologized, and we became friends, too. I appreciate that you tried to stand up for the worm, but try to keep the creepy-crawlies (小爬虫) outside, okay?” said Lehrer. I nodded and turned to leave, thinking I had gotten off easily. I still had my writing hand, and I'd only had to admit one misdeed. “Wait!” the headmistress called. I turned around. "You’ll be staying in for break for the next week."

The next day, not allowed to go out for break, I stared out and watched a boy by the mud pile pick up a worm. l fearfully thought what would happen to it since I couldn't be outside to persuade him not to hurt it. He held it by both ends and looked like he was about to pull. Then someone ran across the playground to talk to him. It was the Worm Ripper. After their conversation, the boy gently placed the worm back in the mud. I smiled. Perhaps I had made a difference after all.
