Edward O. Wilsn, knwn as “ant man”, was brn n June 10, 1929, in Birmingham, Alabama. His parents divrced when he was yung, and he was
mved frequently thrughut his childhd. Wilsn grew up explring the frests and wildlife. One f these adventures left him partly blind, but they
als set ff his lifelng fascinatin(着迷)with ants and their scial structures.
Wilsn earned his bachelr’s and master’s degrees frm the University f Alabama. In 1955, he received his Ph. D. frm Harvard and wrked there
until retirement.
Wilsn’s early study f ants led t his first majr discvery in 1959: hw ants cmmunicate thrugh the release f chemical signals.

Later, in 1990, Wilsn and German bilgist Bert Hlldbler published their Pulitzer-winning The Ants. It detailed the insects’ scial structure that
was bth valued by schlars and accessible t general readers.
Anther f Wilsn’s majr wrks started in the early 1960s when he teamed up with Rbert MacArthur. The pair published The Thery f Island
Bigegraphy, where they sught t explain why different places have different numbers f species.
What many cnsider t be Wilsn’s mst imprtant cntributins t evlutinary bilgy came in 1975 when he published Scibilgy: The
New Synthesis. The wrk explred the genetic rts f animal behavir and argued that genes shaped human behavir.
Wilsn faced accusatins(谴责)fr these ideas but his wrk finally largely prved true. In 1978, his ideas n the rle bilgy plays in human culture
peaked in On Human Nature, which wn him a Pulitzer in 1979.
Wilsn published mre than 400 scientific papers and 20 bks. These accmplishments ffered him a type f superstar status, but friends and
clleagues say the plite Sutherner remained dwn t earth. “Prfessr Wilsn really listened and engaged with whmever he was interacting with,”
said Crrie S. Mreau, wh was ne f Wilsn’s final advisees.

Wherever we g, we are surrunded by histry. Acrss the glbe, cultural heritage is passed dwn thrugh the generatins. It is in the buildings and
structures arund us. It is in the arts and artifacts (手工艺品) we treasure. It lives in the languages we speak and the stries we tell. But tday, it is under
attack as never befre. Nt nly are the damages f time threatening ur cultural heritage, but cnflicts, climate change, glbalizatin and turism are all

As yu can imagine, creating the replicas (复制品) via crwd surced 2D images is extremely time-cnsuming. Increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI)
algrithms (算法) are being used t d all the required surcing, allwing millins f images t be stred in a matter f hurs. AI will als make
restratin and preservatin f existing cultural heritage far easier and vastly superir t previus methds.

architecture are extremely fragile. Human interactin with these lcatins is ding a great deal f harm. Wastes accumulate everywhere, causing
enrmus prblems. As mre cultural heritage sites and bjects are digitally mapped and recrded, VR technlgy will increasingly becme the way that
peple experience them. We’ll all eventually be able t walk thrugh places, lk at (and tuch!) artifacts and wrks f art withut ever seeing them
with ur wn eyes.
Finally, ur cultural heritage will be preserved via technlgy. Effrts in research, innvatin, data sharing and prject wrk will help prmte and

I was cutting up lettuce in the kitchen when I suddenly remembered watching a vide abut saking the lettuce stub (莴苣残余部分) in water t grw
a whle new vegetable. S I tk ut a wide-muthed cup and placed the stub int it, gave it a little water, and placed it by the windw.
On a snwy mrning I nticed the first sign. A first small leaf frm its heart spread ut. A tiny green flag f hpe. Beaten, but nt defeated. This
lettuce was nt dne living! Within days, it was impssible t see the cuts where I had remved the leaves. The grwth was explsive. And when I lifted
the blssming head ut f the cup, tiny rt threads fell dwn, seeking fr the earth. What is grwing here? Lettuce r hpe?
If I were a lettuce in a similar cnditin, I’d want t skeptically assess where I fund myself befre cmmitting t full grwth. Yet fr this lettuce, my
inadequate ffering f water and a place by a windw was enugh fr it t decide t reclaim itself again. It grew in a cup f water, in faith. This is the
heart f this lettuce: alive, strng and fearless. It deserved a name. I decided t call it Mnty.
Mnty wanted t grw, as we all d. I think I gave him a little lve and freedm. Thse tw were all he needed t return t himself. I see jy in this
lettuce. The return t self is always an expressin f jy, which is life itself. This is the tendency f all living things.
Mnty still lives in a cup, but I’m ging t transplant him utside. He deserves t becme his full self. The nly prblem I see nw is my ability t
supprt Mnty. I hpe I have enugh f a green finger.
I’m surprised t find myself where I am. Maybe Mnty is, t. I have the same chice as he des: give in r start again. The prspect f starting
again is discuraging. But my lettuce-friend, Mnty, leads the way. I can nly hpe t be as brave.
【小题1】Why did the authr sak the stub in water?
A．T decrate the nice cup.
B．T hpe that it wuld grw.
D．T remve kitchen rubbish.
C．T make a vide in persn.
【小题2】What can we infer frm paragraph tw?
A．This lettuce shwed n sign f recvery.
B．This lettuce was still fighting t survive.
C．Tiny rt thread climbed ut f the cup.
D．The cuts can still be seen where there used t be leaves.
【小题3】Hw wuld the authr feel if put in the lettuce’s situatin?
A．Hesitant.
B．Fearless.
C．Aimless.
D．Annyed.
【小题4】What can we learn frm Mnty?
A．Never being afraid t restart yurself.
C．Enjying yur wn life t the fullest.
B．Believing in yurself when in truble.
D．Giving freedm t the heart in a way.
