Seventy miles inland frm the Bering Sea, the villages f Akiachak, Akiak and Tuluksak frmed the Yupit Schl District. This year, this district was allwed t perate n an academic calendar accrding t seasnal harvests.
It starts a week later than ther districts, and classes finish 10 days earlier. They make up the difference with an extra half hur f instructin each day. Students can nw take part in the fall mse (驼鹿)hunt and the spring migratry bird harvest. The strategy is t pass alng traditinal knwledge that cannt be gained in the classrm.
On a cludy day this June, teachers met students at a large cutting table near teacher husing near the river. Originally, the mrning catch f salmn (鲑鱼)was suppsed t be prcessed at a nearby cmmunity fish camp, but thse plans were scrapped because a black bear was hanging arund.
Evelyn Esmailka explained the differences between salmn and ther fishes t the children. After this lessn, they barded bats t g fishing fr salmn n the river. The rder f the day was making sure that every student gt a chance t take part in the harvest.
Barrn Sample was in charge f it. "Fr sme f them, it's the first time actually ut here n the river ding this, and the first time they're actually pulling a net," Sample said. The bat was ne f three wned by the schl district." There are three schls in ur schl district: Akiak, Tuluksa, and us, Akiachak. S, in a little cmpetitin, like, "hw many did yu catch tday?" Sample said.
While the first drift nly yielded tw fish, the secnd brught in arund a dzen f varius fish. The students screamed in delight as the struggling salmns were picked frm the net, landing with a bang in a plastic bx.
During the narrw windw when fishing was allwed, the village f Akiachak felt like a deserted twn. But alng the river, the fish camps buzzed with activities as families prcessed the day's harvest in a way that has changed little ver the centuries.
24.What are students f the Yupiit Schl District expected t d?
A. Embrace traditinal native knwledge fully. B. Attend an extra class fr half an hur.
C. Harvest their academic achievements. D. Learn abut the migratin f birds.

A. Exhausting.B. Dangerus.C. Cmpetitive.D. Knwledgeable.
27.What remains unchanged at Akiachak village?

When the patient arrives, it can barely mve its bdy. The parrt tries t spread its green wings ---and fails -- t fly. It is just ne f dzens f rainbw lrikeets (彩虹鹦鹉) being treated fr a mysterius paralyzing (瘫痪) illness. Cases f what is called lrikeet paralysis syndrme (LPS) have been increasing ver the past decade, says vet Claude Lacasse. But scientists are puzzled as t what is causing it.
Lacasse has partnered with several researchers t try slving the mystery. S far, they've ruled ut hundreds f human-made chemicals as well as varius infectius diseases. Their current thery is that LPS is caused by a plant the birds are eating, smething that flwers r fruits between late spring and early fall ---when cases always rise.
But researchers have n idea which plant r plants might be invlved, why the disease is getting wrse r whether climate change is playing a rle. Fr nw, the main cncern is figuring ut everything the sick lrikeets are eating.
Eclgist Rachele Wilsn used a technique invlving testing DNA in sick birds' drppings t match it t specific plant DNA. These data suggest the birds are feeding n mre than 130 plant species, at least 30 f which are ptentially pisnus. Other researchers are nt just lking at plant DNA but als at bacterial and animal DNA t allw fr the pssibility that the birds are swallwing a pisnus insect in fruit, r a pisn prduced by bacteria fund n a plant.
It's pssible climate change plays a rle by driving rainbw lrikeets t seek ut unusual fd surces. Animals are bradening their hunting range and ging int mre traditinally uninviting areas t find fd, including fruit, seeds and, strangely, even meat.
With climate change causing mre extreme weather events and intensely ht summers, the need t find what's paralyzing rainbw lrikeets - and ptentially ther species -is f urgent cncern.
"They're amazing birds," Phalen says. "It's hard t see them as sick as they are."
28.What are researchers trying t find ut first ?
A. Why LPS is getting wrse. B. Where rainbw lrikeets usually gather.
C. Hw human-made chemicals led t LPS. D. What lrikeets are feeding n at present.
29.What des Wilsn fcus n in her study?
A. Cllecting DNA data frm specific animals.
B. Analyzing DNA in the waste f sick lrikeets.
C. Identifying DNA hidden in different plants.
D. Lking at plant, bacterial and animal DNA.
30.Hw des climate change pssibly influence rainbw lrikeets?
A. Increasing the variety f their diets.
B. Enlarging the habitats f these birds.
C. Adapting themselves t extreme weather events.
D. Frcing them t swallw a pisnus insect in fruit.
31.What is the best title fr the text?
A. Endangered rare species in Australia
B. Strange diseases striking Australian birds
C. The mystery f Australia's paralyzed parrts
D. The influence f climate change n animals

Fr many bk writers, artificial intelligence (AI ) is a threat t their jbs and the very idea f creativity. At the same time, AI is a stry t tell, and n lnger just in science fictin.
Helen Phillips is the writer f the upcming bk HUM. It tells f a wife and mther wh lses her jb t AI. "I'm frightened by artificial intelligence, but als interested in it," she explained. Phillips said there is a hpe in AI fr gaining all knwledge, the understanding f everything. But at the same time, there is an "inbrn terrr in being replaced by nn-human intelligence."
Ryan Dherty is a vice president and directr at Celadn Bks. It recently agreed t publish Fred Lunzker's bk Sike, featuring an AI dctr f mental health. "We've been seeing mre and mre abut Al in bk prpsals,” Dherty said. Dherty used the term zeitgeist(时代精神), meaning the general ideas r spirit f a time, t describe Al. It's the zeitgeist right nw. And whatever is in the cultural zeitgeist gets int fictin", Dherty said.
In Sierra Greer's Annie Br, the title character is an AI mate designed fr a human male. Fr Greer, the bk was a way t explre the character's "urgent desire t please." Amy Shearn's bk, Animal Instinct, has its rigins in her persnal life. She had recently divrced and began t use dating apps. "It's s strange hw, with apps, yu start t feel as if yu're ging persn-shpping," she said, "And I thught, wuldn't it be great if yu culd really pick and chse the best parts r all these peple yu meet with t make yur ideal persn?"
Earlier this year, Stephen Marche used AI t write the shrt bk Death f An Authr. Simn Rich wrked with Brent Katz and Jsh Mrgenthau fr 1 Am Cde, a thriller that came ut this mnth. The AI prgram "cde-davinci-002" created the wrk.
32.What's Helen's attitude twards AI?
A. Resistant. B. Dubtful.C. Apprving.D. Cntradictry
33.What statement des Dherty agree t?
A. AI reflects the spirit f current times. B. AI acts as a dctr f mental health.
C. Al prpses mre ideas fr fictins.D. Culture is a cmbinatin f general ideas.
34.What can we infer frm the furth paragraph?
A. AI expses writers' private life.
B. AI satisfies writers' urgent desire.
C. Writers are using AI t handle human prblems.
D. AI helps writers pick and chse when shpping.
35.What is the main idea f the last paragraph ?
A. Sme AI prgrams are created. B. Sme bks tuch n AI themes.
C. Sme bks n AI will cme ut sn. D. Sme writers are penly wrking with AI.

"Help him!" a wman screamed." Please, smene!"
Perry culdn't just stand there and watch. He climbed dwn, tk a few quick jumps until he was standing ver the victim.
The guy lked dead. Perry wndered hw he was ging t escape the situatin he'd just put himself int. The train he'd just gtten ff was delaying, thankfully.
Gathering curage, Perry reached dwn and grasped the victim's wrist. Instantly, he felt a great electric shck sht thrugh his bdy. Perry jumped back. He reached dwn a secnd time, and was shcked again. But the third time he seized the man's wrist and, braving the shck, pulled. The guy's bdy slid briefly alng the third rail, cming t rest n the uter edge f the tracks.
The man was breathing, but wrn ut. Smething wasn't right.
"Give him chest cmpressins(按压)!" yelled a wman n the platfrm.
Perry was n expert, but fr a few mments he wrked n the man's heart until the victim began shaking. Once again, Perry grabbed him, keeping him frm falling back nt the third rail.

Seventy miles inland frm the Bering Sea, the villages f Akiachak, Akiak and Tuluksak frmed the Yupit Schl District. This year, this district was allwed t perate n an academic calendar accrding t seasnal harvests.
It starts a week later than ther districts, and classes finish 10 days earlier. They make up the difference with an extra half hur f instructin each day. Students can nw take part in the fall mse (驼鹿)hunt and the spring migratry bird harvest. The strategy is t pass alng traditinal knwledge that cannt be gained in the classrm.
On a cludy day this June, teachers met students at a large cutting table near teacher husing near the river. Originally, the mrning catch f salmn (鲑鱼)was suppsed t be prcessed at a nearby cmmunity fish camp, but thse plans were scrapped because a black bear was hanging arund.
Evelyn Esmailka explained the differences between salmn and ther fishes t the children. After this lessn, they barded bats t g fishing fr salmn n the river. The rder f the day was making sure that every student gt a chance t take part in the harvest.
Barrn Sample was in charge f it. "Fr sme f them, it's the first time actually ut here n the river ding this, and the first time they're actually pulling a net," Sample said. The bat was ne f three wned by the schl district." There are three schls in ur schl district: Akiak, Tuluksa, and us, Akiachak. S, in a little cmpetitin, like, "hw many did yu catch tday?" Sample said.
While the first drift nly yielded tw fish, the secnd brught in arund a dzen f varius fish. The students screamed in delight as the struggling salmns were picked frm the net, landing with a bang in a plastic bx.
During the narrw windw when fishing was allwed, the village f Akiachak felt like a deserted twn. But alng the river, the fish camps buzzed with activities as families prcessed the day's harvest in a way that has changed little ver the centuries.

When the patient arrives, it can barely mve its bdy. The parrt tries t spread its green wings ---and fails -- t fly. It is just ne f dzens f rainbw lrikeets (彩虹鹦鹉) being treated fr a mysterius paralyzing (瘫痪) illness. Cases f what is called lrikeet paralysis syndrme (LPS) have been increasing ver the past decade, says vet Claude Lacasse. But scientists are puzzled as t what is causing it.
Lacasse has partnered with several researchers t try slving the mystery. S far, they've ruled ut hundreds f human-made chemicals as well as varius infectius diseases. Their current thery is that LPS is caused by a plant the birds are eating, smething that flwers r fruits between late spring and early fall ---when cases always rise.
But researchers have n idea which plant r plants might be invlved, why the disease is getting wrse r whether climate change is playing a rle. Fr nw, the main cncern is figuring ut everything the sick lrikeets are eating.
Eclgist Rachele Wilsn used a technique invlving testing DNA in sick birds' drppings t match it t specific plant DNA. These data suggest the birds are feeding n mre than 130 plant species, at least 30 f which are ptentially pisnus. Other researchers are nt just lking at plant DNA but als at bacterial and animal DNA t allw fr the pssibility that the birds are swallwing a pisnus insect in fruit, r a pisn prduced by bacteria fund n a plant.
It's pssible climate change plays a rle by driving rainbw lrikeets t seek ut unusual fd surces. Animals are bradening their hunting range and ging int mre traditinally uninviting areas t find fd, including fruit, seeds and, strangely, even meat.
With climate change causing mre extreme weather events and intensely ht summers, the need t find what's paralyzing rainbw lrikeets - and ptentially ther species -is f urgent cncern.
"They're amazing birds," Phalen says. "It's hard t see them as sick as they are."
28.What are researchers trying t find ut first ?
A. Why LPS is getting wrse. B. Where rainbw lrikeets usually gather.
C. Hw human-made chemicals led t LPS. D. What lrikeets are feeding n at present.
29.What des Wilsn fcus n in her study?
A. Cllecting DNA data frm specific animals.
B. Analyzing DNA in the waste f sick lrikeets.
C. Identifying DNA hidden in different plants.
D. Lking at plant, bacterial and animal DNA.
30.Hw des climate change pssibly influence rainbw lrikeets?
A. Increasing the variety f their diets.
B. Enlarging the habitats f these birds.
C. Adapting themselves t extreme weather events.
D. Frcing them t swallw a pisnus insect in fruit.
31.What is the best title fr the text?

Fr many bk writers, artificial intelligence (AI ) is a threat t their jbs and the very idea f creativity. At the same time, AI is a stry t tell, and n lnger just in science fictin.
Helen Phillips is the writer f the upcming bk HUM. It tells f a wife and mther wh lses her jb t AI. "I'm frightened by artificial intelligence, but als interested in it," she explained. Phillips said there is a hpe in AI fr gaining all knwledge, the understanding f everything. But at the same time, there is an "inbrn terrr in being replaced by nn-human intelligence."
Ryan Dherty is a vice president and directr at Celadn Bks. It recently agreed t publish Fred Lunzker's bk Sike, featuring an AI dctr f mental health. "We've been seeing mre and mre abut Al in bk prpsals,” Dherty said. Dherty used the term zeitgeist(时代精神), meaning the general ideas r spirit f a time, t describe Al. It's the zeitgeist right nw. And whatever is in the cultural zeitgeist gets int fictin", Dherty said.
In Sierra Greer's Annie Br, the title character is an AI mate designed fr a human male. Fr Greer, the bk was a way t explre the character's "urgent desire t please." Amy Shearn's bk, Animal Instinct, has its rigins in her persnal life. She had recently divrced and began t use dating apps. "It's s strange hw, with apps, yu start t feel as if yu're ging persn-shpping," she said, "And I thught, wuldn't it be great if yu culd really pick and chse the best parts r all these peple yu meet with t make yur ideal persn?"
Earlier this year, Stephen Marche used AI t write the shrt bk Death f An Authr. Simn Rich wrked with Brent Katz and Jsh Mrgenthau fr 1 Am Cde, a thriller that came ut this mnth. The AI prgram "cde-davinci-002" created the wrk.

It was a sunny afternn in June, 2022 when Anthny Perry stepped ff the train at the statin. The 20-year-ld, wh wrked nights in a grcery stre, was n his way t see his grandfather s they culd g see a car Perry was thinking abut buying.
On the platfrm, tw men were fighting. Then the unthinkable happened: The pair tripped ver the edge and nt the tracks. One man ended up n his back, defending himself ff blws. Suddenly, he started trembling. The attacker jumped back up nt the platfrm and disappeared.
The man had fallen nt the third rail, the cnduit (电导管)fr the electricity that pwer Chicag's trains. As Perry and ther hrrified nlkers watched, he trembled greatly as the current flew thrugh his bdy, his head buncing up and dwn ff the tracks.
"Help him!" a wman screamed." Please, smene!"
Perry culdn't just stand there and watch. He climbed dwn, tk a few quick jumps until he was standing ver the victim.
The guy lked dead. Perry wndered hw he was ging t escape the situatin he'd just put himself int. The train he'd just gtten ff was delaying, thankfully.
Gathering curage, Perry reached dwn and grasped the victim's wrist. Instantly, he felt a great electric shck sht thrugh his bdy. Perry jumped back. He reached dwn a secnd time, and was shcked again. But the third time he seized the man's wrist and, braving the shck, pulled. The guy's bdy slid briefly alng the third rail, cming t rest n the uter edge f the tracks.
The man was breathing, but wrn ut. Smething wasn't right.
"Give him chest cmpressins(按压)!" yelled a wman n the platfrm.
Perry was n expert, but fr a few mments he wrked n the man's heart until the victim began shaking. Once again, Perry grabbed him, keeping him frm falling back nt the third rail.
