I’m appraching the Knight Street Bridge as I try t get hme after wrk. It’s 5:15 pm. Traffic is slwing dwn and then it cmes t a full stp. I’m stuck even befre getting n the bridge.
This has becme my nrmal wrk cmmute (上下班往返) rutine. Ahead f me is a heavily jammed n-ramp (匝道). I stare at the endless rws f vehicles, depressed. Secnds pass. Minutes pass. Lking at the rws f cars and trucks, I start cunting—299, 300, 301—and I give up.
Suddenly I remember I’m ne f the 300 helpless drivers. When the cars d mve, I mve carefully, making sure nt t knck int ther vehicles. Finally, I make it nt the bridge. The traffic is still crawling at a snail’s pace. Tired and hungry, I becme very anxius.
Just then, I hear a faint sund in the distance. The sund gradually becmes luder, until I can identify it as an emergency vehicle appraching frm behind. What d we d? The bridge is packed. There’s n rm fr us t mve.
But I’m wrng. Every single car quickly, yet carefully, mves t the side. Withut thinking, I fllw suit. The lane remains pen fr a few secnds during which the ambulance flashes thrugh.
Afterward, every car mves back int frmatin (队形). We clse up the emergency lane, cntinuing ur patient wait. Back in my spt, I’m awestruck. My exhaustin and anxiety are gne. I start reflecting upn what 300 fellw drivers and I just did.
Despite ur exhaustin, we all decided t help the stranger wh needed the time mre desperately than we did. We drew n ur cmpassin (同情心) and intelligence, requiring n rders. Althugh I may seem alne stuck n the bridge, I’m cnnected t all the ther drivers. Tgether we culd make the impssible pssible.

Fr any astrnaut hping t survive n the surface f the mn, grwing crps will be necessary. Nw, scientists have taken “ne small step” twards grwing plants n the lunar surface, after shwing it’s pssible t grw thale cress, a small flwering plant, in lunar sil.
The findings raise hpes that plants culd be grwn n the mn during future space missins, and even enable mankind t set up a lunar settlement. “Fr future, lnger space missins, we may use the mn as a launching platfrm,” explained Prfessr Rb Ferl. “It makes sense that we wuld want t use the sil that’s already there t grw plants.” Until nw, scientists have nt grwn plants in the sil. “S, what happens when yu grw plants in lunar sil? What wuld plants d in a lunar greenhuse? Culd we have lunar farmers?” Prfessr Ferl questined.
T answer these questins, researchers frm Flrida set ut t plant thale cress seeds in lunar sil, add water, nutrients, and light, and see what happened. The researchers chse t use thale cress because its genetic cde has already been fully mapped.
Fr cmparisn, the researchers als planted seeds in a variety f sils. T their delight, the researchers fund that nearly all f the seeds grew. Hwever, they did bserve differences between the plants grwn in the lunar sil and thse grwn in the cntrl sils. Sme f the plants grwn in the lunar sils were smaller, while thers grew mre slwly r were mre different in size.
Grwing plants in lunar sils may als change the mn itself, accrding t Dr Stephen Elard. “The mn is a very, very dry place,” he said. “Hw will minerals in the lunar sil respnd t having a plant grwn in them, with the added water and nutrients? Will adding water make the minerals friendlier t plants?” The researchers hpe t answer these questins in fllw-up studies.
28. What’s the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
A. The significance f the findings. B. The plants grwn in the lunar sil.
C. The missins f future space explratin. D. The hpe fr setting up a lunar settlement.
29. Why did researchers use thale cress in the experiment?
A. Its genes are suitable fr lunar sil. B. It has a lng evlutinary histry.
C. It has been tested with lunar sil befre. D. Peple have a gd knwledge f its genes.
30. What did researchers find abut the plants grwn in lunar si1?
A. They absrbed few nutrients. B. They didn’t grw well enugh.
C. They grew slwly in the dark. D. They needed mre water t grw bigger.
31. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Preparing t Farm n the Mn B. Cnducting a Study n Lunar Sil
C. Grwing Plants in Lunar Sil D. Cllecting Mre Lunar Sil

Artificial intelligence (AI) is shwing prmise in earthquake predictin, challenging the lng-held belief that it is impssible. Researchers at the University f Texas, Austin, have develped an Al algrithm (算法) that crrectly predicted 70% f earthquakes a week in advance during a test in China and prvided accurate strength calculatins fr the predicted earthquakes.
The AI was prvided with a set f statistical features based n the team’s knwledge f earthquake physics, and then instructed t train itself using a five-year database f earthquake recrdings. Once trained, the AI prvided its predictin by listening fr signs f incming earthquakes within the backgrund rumblings (轰隆隆) in the Earth.
This wrk is clearly a milestne in research fr AI-driven earthquake predictin. “Yu dn’t see earthquakes cming,” explains Alexandrs Savvaidis, a senir research scientist wh leads the Texas Seismlgical Netwrk Prgram (TexNet). “It’s a matter f millisecnds, and the nly thing yu can cntrl is hw prepared yu are. Even with the 70% accuracy (精确度), that’s a huge result and culd help decrease ecnmic and human lsses and has the ptential t remarkably imprve earthquake preparatin wrldwide.”
While it is unknwn whether the same apprach will wrk at ther lcatins, the researchers are cnfident that their AI algrithm culd prduce mre accurate predictins if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking netwrks. The next step is t test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake statins and ver six years wrth f cntinuus recrds, making it an ideal lcatin fr these purpses.
Finally, the authrs hpe t cmbine the system with physics-based mdels. This strategy culd prve especially imprtant where data is pr r lacking. “That may be a lng way t g, but many advances such as this ne, taken tgether, are what mves science frward.” cncludes Sctt Tinker, the bureau’s directr.
32. Which wrds can best describe the earthquake-predicting technlgy?
A. Reliable but utdated. B. Effective but cstly.
C. Ptential and ecnmical. D. Grundbreaking and prmising.
33. Hw des the AI frecast earthquakes?
A. By identifying data frm the satellites.
B. By analyzing backgrund sunds in the Earth.
C. By mdeling data based n earthquake recrdings.
D. By mnitring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field.
34. What des Alexandrs Savvaidis intend t shw in paragraph 3?
A. The ways t reduce lsses in earthquakes.
B. The imprtance f preparing fr earthquakes.
C. The significance f develping the AI predictin.
D. The limitatin f AI algrithms in earthquake predictin.
35. What des the fllwing research fcus n?
A. Cnducting tests in different lcatins.
B. Applying the AI apprach t ther fields.
C. Building mre earthquake statins in Texas.
D. Enlarging the database t train the accuracy.
