The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handcraft (手工艺品) .It has a history of over I,000 years in Chin3. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the "Tang Umbrella". Latar oil paper umbrellas were spread to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed (钢骨的)umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. They were turned into decorative artifacts (装饰性工艺品).

In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录)of China.
A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather." I want to bring the art to life." Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to mako the umbrellas weigh less.
Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to promote (推广)the art.

Diagram(图表) or Survey Result
① Al (artificial intelligence 人工智能) and machine learning refer to the ability of machines to learn and act intelligently. It means they can make decisions, finish tasks, and even tell the possible future results based on what they learn from data(数据).
②AI and machine learning already play a bigger role in everyday life than you might imagine. Health care, banking, video games, every search on the Internet you make…, all are driven by AI.
③AI is going to change almost every field of modem life. Stephen Hawking said, "Success in creating Al would be the biggest event in human history." And Hawking added at once," Unluckily, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks."
④. ▲ ,especially when you consider some countries are racing to develop Al-enabled autonomous weapons(人工智能自主武器). It is also going to change and take the place of many human jobs. The same worries also come from the public. According to the survey result from Centre for the Governance of Al, 91% of the people (tend to and totally) agree that "Al is a technology that requires careful management" in Europe.
⑤ But rather than agreeing with an idea of a helpless future where all human jobs are given over to robots, some people believe AI will make on working lives better. It will improve the work of humans, and new jobs will appear to take the place of the old ones.
⑥ What's more, machines become more intelligent and they are able to finish more human tasks. Things which only belong to humans lie creativity and critical(批判性的) thinking, will become even more valuable in the future.
⑦Like it or not, Al is here. Maybe changing ourselves and managing it well are the best way out. Just as Benjamin Franklin once said, "When you're finished changing, you're finished."

C. Without doubt, Al is a fantastic technology to lead us into the future.

D 60.What's the purpose of writing the passage?
A. To warm us that Al will take humans' place.. B. To show us that there are a lot of uses of Al.
C. To tell us that many people are worried about Al. D. To suggest we prepare for the changes brought by AI.

Plunk! I dropped another pecan (山核桃) into my basket. Then a gentle autumn wind blew some more off the tree. I ran to pick them up. Whew! Pecan picking was hard. My basket was only half full.
I was visiting my grandpa's farm in Kansas, and Grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans for us to enjoy later. I wasn't about to let him down.
Then something caught my eye: a squirrel picked up a pecan, climbed up a tree and disappeared inio a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbed down to the ground to pick another pecan. Once again, he took the pecan back to his secret hiding place inside the hollow (洞)of the tree.
Not so secret anymore, I thought. I ran over to the tree and found the hollow was filled with sweet pecans. They were right there for the taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket was full!
I was so proud of myself. 1 couldn't wait to show Grandpa all of the pecans I'd collected.
"Look, Grandpa," I shouted, "look at all of the pecans I found!"
Grandpa took a look at my basket. "Well, well, how did you find so many, Jimmy?" I told him how I'd followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulated me on finding out something about the squirrel's habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders.
"That squirrel worked very hard to collect his winter food," he said." Now that all of his pecans are gone, don't you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?"
"I didn't think about that," I said.
"I know," Grandpa said. "But a good man should never take advantage of someone else's hard work, even the squirrel's.”
Suddenly I felt as hollow as that old tree. The image (形象) of that hungry squirrel wouldn't leave my mind. There was only one thing I could do.

七、阅读与回答问题(本题共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
Professional titles(职称) are often given to college—educated personnel or well—trained workers in professions such as doctors and reporters. But now they're also given to farmers in China.
Shijiazhuang in Hebei Province asked local farmers to apply for junior and senior professional titles in October, 2022.So far, the city's Luquan district has taken the lead in recognizing(认可) seventeen farmers with junior technical positions. The positions include livestock technicians and farming engineers.
Other provinces such as Shandong. Yunnan and Hunan have similar policies, Anning in Yunnan, for example, has awarded more than 2,000 farmers such titles.
Applying for professional titles for farmers doesn't require education or academic papers. It mainly looks at the size of their farming practices and their businesses' effect, Su Jia, an official in Shijiazhuang, told Beling News. Recognizes farmer will enjoy subsidies(补助) and other support from the government.
Many people think working in the field is not a proper job and does not need third-party recognition. Giving farmers professional titles has shaken the fixed idea, China Daily noted. "The certificate (证书) is a recognition of their skills, and it can also be of help when they talk about business," Su said.
Yu Jiang is one of the first seventeen farmers who received junior technical positions in Shijiazhuang. "I feel that China is paying more attention to farmers' issues(问题),which strengthens my confidence to lead my cooperative members for common prosperity(富裕),"Yu told China News Service.
Recognizing farmers in this way is part of a larger move to push agriculture. The 2021 national census data(人口普查数据)showed China has more than 500 million people living in rural areas. The number was 808 million in 2000, however. China has been losing farmers due to urbanization(城市化).
91.How many provinces are mentioned in the passage to give professional titles to farmers?
Four
92.What is considered when giving prossional titles to famers in Shijiazhuang?
The size of the farming practices and their businesses’ effect.
93.Which situation can a farmer’s title certificate be helpful to according to Su Jia?
When they talk about business
94.How does Yu Jianmg feel about recognizing famers by giving professional titles?
He feels that China is playing much attention to farmers’ issues.
95.What do you think of giving professional titles to farmers(请自拟一句话作答)
It is a creative idea, and can encourage and help farmers in many ways.
