It features amazing ice and snw sculptures, including replicas(复制品) f famus landmarks, animals, and cartn characters. In additin, visitrs can als enjy different kinds f snw sprts, such as ice skating, ice fishing, and sledding.

The idea f grwing meat utside an animal has been arund fr a lng time. In 1931, Winstn Churchill wrte that by the 1980s“we shall escape the absurdity(荒谬) f grwing a whle chicken in rder t eat the breast r wing, by grwing these parts separately under a suitable medium.” It seems that his predictins are beginning t materialise. Due t the rising glbal demand fr meat, the wrld turns t cultured meat t vercme the envirnmental prblems f traditinal animal agriculture.
The science behind cultured meat is fairly well established. A sample f cells is first taken frm a live animal and these cells are fed grwth medium that enables them t grw and divide, allwing trillins f cells t be prduced frm a small sample. Once enugh cells have been prduced, they are turned int develped muscle and fat cells thrugh a certain prcess. Standard fd prcessing technlgies are then used t frm the final prduct—meat.
Investrs have respnded ptimistically, with cultured meat start-ups raising ver$125 millin since 2015 and investments grwing by 85% between 2017 and 2018. High prfile backers include Bill Gates, Richard Bransn and Ggle c-funder Serge y Brin, wh helped fund(资助) the first cultured burger in 2013.
Despite this ptimism, cultured meat still has a lng way t g befre it appears n ur dinner tables. The first cultured burger famusly cst $280,000 t prduce and, thugh csts have cme dwn cnsiderably since then, the price f prductin remains a challenge. Anther majr challenge facing the cultured meat industry is gvernment regulatin. N legal right has yet apprved cultured meat fr cnsumptin.
Jsh Tetrick, CEO f JUST, has claimed that the cmpany’s cultured chicken nuggets have been ready fr small scale(规模) cmmercialisatin since 2018. Hwever, Uma Valeti, CEO f Memphis Meats, has emphasized the imprtance f taking time t get the release right. Regardless f cmpanies’intentins, it is unlikely that cultured meat will find its way nt supermarket sn. Instead the first prducts will likely appear in selected restaurants in a limited release, reserved fr the mre adventurus and wealthy diners.
28. What des the underlined wrd “materialise” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. cme nearB. cme trueC. becme clearD. take actin
29. What is true abut cultured meat?
A. Cultured meat results in grwing envirnmental prblems.
B. Cultured meat is prduced with the help f cells frm animals.
C. Cultured meat tastes similar t the traditinal meat frm animals.
D. Cultured meat is ready t be put in market in large numbers.
30. What’s the authr’s purpse in writing Para 3?
A. T shw investrs felt cnfident in the future f cultured meat.
B. T shw investrs earned much mney frm the selling f cultured meat.
C. T shw investrs invested much mney in the making f cultured meat.
D. T shw investrs cntributed a lt t the first cultured meat.
31. Which f the fllwing is the best title?
A. Cultured Meat: Just Arund the Crner?
B. Cultured Meat: A Challenge t Take up?
C. Meat Prductin: In Lab r in Farm?
D. Meat Prductin: T Be a Prblem?

ChatGPT is an amazing artificial intelligence tl that has recently been released, alng with ther mind-blwing generative(生成性的) AI tls like Midjurney and DALL-E. These tls have the ptential t revlutinize the way we create digital cntent, making it faster and cheaper.
Hwever, there is a dwnside t these AI tls that cannt be ignred. What happens when they start replacing cpywriters, jurnalists, custmer service agents, and digital marketers? Fr years, experts have been warning that AI culd threaten white-cllar jbs, which were nce cnsidered safe frm autmatin(自动化). Sme even predict that up t 47 percent f jbs in the US culd be at risk.
While n ne can say fr sure whether generative AI will cause mass jb lss amng highly educated wrkers, it is clear that it has the ptential t disturb the emplyment landscape. Cmpanies will always chse machines ver humans when they can, and AI has the ability t perfrm tasks currently dne by cpywriters, digital cntent prducers, and ther prfessinals. This means that these jbs may sn underg significant changes. Hwever, it is imprtant t nte that AI cannt replace certain aspects f these jbs. It cannt cnduct interviews, find histrical dcuments, r assess the quality f studies. It lacks authrity, understanding, and the ability t crrect itself r generate genuinely new ideas.
This implies that while AI may create a vast amunt f simpler cntent, it culd als make riginal jurnalism mre valuable and investigative jurnalists mre prductive. AI may be able t make summaries f public meetings, but it is humans wh will write in-depth stries. Experts believe that AI will ultimately help peple use their prfessinal knwledge mre effectively, and allw them t fcus n areas where human intelligence is crucial.
While there is a risk that AI technlgies culd lead t sudden changes in the labr market, it is imprtant t recgnize the benefits f having such technlgy.
32. What’s true abut AI tls?
A. ChatGPT is the nly AI tls released.
B. Peple feel safe with the use f AI tls.
C. They may help prduce digital cntent faster.
D. They have already taken the place f white cllars.
33. What’s the ptential impact f AI tls n emplyment market?
A. 47 percent f jbs in the US are at risk.
B. Jbs cncerning generating genuinely new ideas will be changed.
C. Investigative jurnalists will lse jbs.
D. Jbs cncerning creating simple cntent will be threatened.
34. Hw can AI finally benefit prfessinals in the labr market?
A. By making psitins mre valuable.
B. By making their jbs mre irreplaceable.
C. By enabling them t specialize in sme key fields.
D. By remving the need fr human’s specialized knwledge.
35. What is the authr’s attitude twards AI technlgies?
A. They shuld be further perfected.
B. They shuld be accepted despite their risks.
C. They shuld be avided t prtect white-cllar jbs.
D. They shuld be cntrlled t prevent mass jb lss.

The mment we entered the ice-cream shp, there was n ne but a weird grwn-up. Nticing his strange appearance, I was envelped by a sense f fear and clenched mm’s hands tightly. “Wh are yu? Are yu Bradley?” asked my mm. Shcked and speechless, the man sprang frm the chair, attempting t flee away. But it was t late. Mm grasped his hand with all her might and asked me t call the plice. Finally, my plan with the secret Internet friend ended up with a narrw escape frm being cheated. Whenever I recalled the unusual experience, fear still lingered in my mind mixed with a sense f relief. Neither shuld we meet Internet friend withut infrming parents, nr shuld we share private infrmatin n the Internet.
