Like many peple, Stimpsn, wh is nearly 80, has nticed an alarming lss f wildlife in his lifetime. The cluds f swifts （雨燕） f his childhd have disappeared.
A lss f nesting（筑巢的） sites is driving the decline f swifts in the UK, whse numbers are believed t have drpped by abut 57% in 22 years. These birds—which are nw n the UK's red list—are site-specific, meaning each spring they cme back t the same spt after flying thusands f miles frm Africa. The prblem is that lts f ld barns（谷仓） and huses have been upgraded and repaired and nesting sites have disappeared.
Thirteen years ag n ne was making swift bxes, s Stimpsn started. "I'm nt a carpenter （木匠）, I'm a salesman, but I thught I'd certainly give it a g," he says. When he started he culd make three a day, nw n a really gd day he can make 30."The gvernment and big wildlife rganizatins dn't end up ding much t stp wildlife lss. We seem t have t many pen-pushers and nt enugh wrkers," he says. "We culd d an awful lt mre than we're ding."
He believes lcal actin grups are much mre effective and has been wrking with a number f them. "The number f swift grups that have started up in the last five t eight years is quite staggering. And they seem t g frm strength t strength," he says.
"Swifts are the ne thing where an individual can make a significant difference," says Dick Newell, frm Actin fr Swifts, wh has 66 pairs f nesting swifts in his village f Landbeach in Cambridgeshire,20 f them nesting n his huse.
Newell says develpers shuld put a swift brick in every new building, and he has been wrking with husebuilding cmpany Taylr Wimpey t make this happen. Exeter city cuncil has started incrprating them int new buildings, as well as the Duchy f Crnwall, and lcal cuncils are getting n bard. Others are wrking n bee bricks and hedgehg （刺猬） hles in new develpments.
24. What led t the swifts' decline in the UK?
A. A lss f fd. B. A lack f nesting sites.
C. Their being remved frm the red list. D. Their deaths during their lng jurney.
25. What is Stimpsn's attitude twards the practice f the gvernment and big wildlife rganizatins?
A. Curius. B. Dubtful. C. Tlerant. D. Negative.
26. What des the underlined wrd "staggering" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Misleading. B. Shcking. C. Cnfusing. D. Disturbing.
27. What des Newell advise develpers t d?
A. Build fewer buildings in rural areas. B. Increase buildings made f bricks.

Science fictin has lng entertained the idea f artificial intelligence becming cnscius. Many researchers say that Al systems aren't yet at the pint f cnsciusness, but the pace f AI evlutin（发展） has gt them cnsidering: hw wuld we knw if they were?
T answer this, a grup f 19 neurscientists（神经系统科学家）, philsphers and cmputer scientists have cme up with a checklist f standards that, if met, wuld indicate whether a system has a high chance f being cnscius. The authrs made the effrt because "it seemed like there was a real lack f detailed, thughtful discussin f AI cnsciusness." says c-authr Rbert Lng, a philspher at the Center fr Al Safety.
The team says that a failure t identify whether an Al system has becme cnscius has imprtant mral implicatins. If smething has been labelied "cnscius", accrding t c-authr Megan Peters, a neurscientist at the University f Califrnia, "that changes a lt abut hw we as human beings feel that entity（独立存在的个体） shuld be treated". Lng adds that, as far as he can tell, nt enugh effrt has been made by the cmpanies building advanced AI systems t evaluate the mdels fr cnsciusness and make plans fr what t d if that happens.
One f the challenges in studying cnsciusness in AI is defining what it means t be cnscius. Peters says that fr the reprt, the researchers fcused n "phenmenal cnsciusness".
Many neurscience-based theries describe the bilgical basis f cnsciusness. But there is n agreement n which is the right ne. T create their framewrk, the authrs therefre used a range f these theries. The idea is that if an Al system functins in a way that matches aspects f many f these theries, then there is a greater likelihd that it is cnscius.
They argue that this is a better apprach t assessing cnsciusness than simply putting a system thrugh a behaviral test—say, asking Chat GPT whether it is cnscius, r challenging it and seeing hw it respnds. That's because Al systems have becme remarkably gd at mimicking （模仿） humans.
28. What des Rbert Lng say abut present research n AI cnsciusness?
A. It is far frm enugh. B. It is prgressing rapidly.
C. it has shwn prmising insights int it. D. It has learnt a lt frm previus research.
29. What wuld change if Al systems became cnscius accrding t Megan Peters?
A. Their final applicatins. B. Hw humans treat them.
C. Their mral respnsibilities. D. Hw humans make future plans.
30. What is a challenge f studying AI cnsciusness?
A. Prviding a definitin f it.
B. Uncvering the reasn behind it.
C. Measuring Al's ability t mimic humans.
D. Cmparing AI cnsciusness and human cnsciusness.
31. Hw d the researchers identify whether an AI system is cnscius?
A. By bserving its respnses t digital signals and nline questins.
B. By checking its understanding f sme neurscience-based theries.
C. By cmparing its functinal patterns with neurscience-based theries.
D. By cnducting experiments and tests t measure its level f self-awareness.

Mre than 170,000 peple in Califrnia are unhused. Even as the state has pured resurces int fighting against the prblem, the number f peple withut hmes has ticked upward in recent years. On the surface, the state has ne key advantage fr peple withut a reliable rf ver their heads: relatively cnsistent and livable weather. S ne f my first thughts when I heard news f a hurricane attacking Ls Angeles was just "What will happen t the city's hmeless ppulatin?"
City agencies quickly tk actin. As it became clear that the Ls Angeles regin culd experience an extreme dwnpur and subsequent flding, utreach teams fanned ut acrss the river bank and da m areas acrss the city that have becme hme t a significant unhused ppulatin, ffering supprt t mve them int shelters and mtels（汽车旅馆）.
Despite that, it's bvius that the effects f climate change will hit the mst vuinerable （脆弱的） hardest. We see this glbally as extreme weather events hit cuntries that have cntributed the least t the prblem.
The mst ntable cnnectin between climate change and the US husing crisis is the threat extreme weather pses t unhused peple. Mre unhused peple are affected as climate change drives increasingly unpredictable weather. Peple withut hmes knw hw t respnd t expected seasnal events. But events like a near-hurricane in Ls Angeles r a wildfire in Maui can catch ppulatins with limited access t infrmatin ff guard.
Anther link wrth cnsidering is the way in which climate change creates mre hmelessness and further stresses n husing systems. Hurricane Katrina, fr example, displaced 800,000 peple. Fur years later, 12,000 peple remained withut shelter.
Husing has been —and will cntinue t be—a key issue in Maui t as it recvers frm the wildfire that killed mre than 100 peple. Maui has alrcady had a husing crisis, the result f a high cst f living driven in large part by the turism industry. And, nw, many mre are left lking fr places t stay. Ashley Kelly , the chief perating fficer at Hawaii's Family Life Center. said," Finding husing fr any new clients is just nt pssible right nw.
32. What cntributes t the increase f the unhused ppulatin in Califrnia?
A. Its mild weather. B. Its inclusive lcal culture.
C. Its limited basic facilities. D. Its relaxed state plicies.
33. What did utreach teams d in respnse t the hurricane in Ls Angeles?
A. They built dams t prevent flding.
B. They mved hmeless peple t safe places.
C. They sught lw-cst husing frm city agencies.
D. They surrunded the river bank t keep peple away
34. Which wrd can best describe Maui's husing circumstances nw accrding t Ashley Kelly?
A. Mysterius. B. Exceptinal. C. Changeable. D. Difficult.
35. What is the text mainly abut?
A. Ways f Americans relcating disaster-affected ppulatins.
B. The significance f timely weather updates fr the hmeless.
C. The link between climate change and the husing crisis in the US.
D. Appraches f hmeless Americans t dealing with natural disasters.

When I was in middle schl, my family mved t Seattle, where my parents started their new business-a small grcery stre dwnstairs my huse. As a girl f shy and reserved nature, I had t take a fresh start t fit int the sphisticated city life.
One sunny day, my schl annunced an exciting event, a talent shw fr the lcal fd bank. Students were encuraged t shwcase their unique talents in frnt f the public in the city hall n Natinal Day.

Days turned int weeks, and the talent shw drew clser. I culdn't shake the upsetting feeling until ne day Emma, ne f the mst ppular girls in my class, came t me while I was helping in the grcery stre after class. "Hw abut singing tgether in the talent shw?" She grinned, "I heard yu singing a tune, alng the way back hme. I can't help fllwing yu here." Gsh, I culdn't believe my cars. Emma, with persnality and ppularity, acknwledged my little talent. Since Emma had the wrld's prettiest vice, I felt like being favured by frtune.
"Yu tw? The talent shw fr the fd bank?" My mum bent twards us and her face lit up. "A big ccasin. Why nt practise right nw upstairs? I bet yu'll be a perfect match." Winking at us, she seemed t knw we were thinking alike.
Emma and I rehearsed almst every single day after schl. We brainstrmed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rlled by, I was feeling pretty gd abut ur act. But the day befre the perfrmance, Emma called that she had an acute stmachache and was nt able t perfrm.
