Humans have been grwing fd fr abut 12,000 years, but 50 years ag a civil engineer named Mel Barthlmew figured ut a new way t d it that culd eliminate a lt f tiring weeding（除草）and watering that went with it. He called it the Square Ft Garden（SFG）, and the bk he wrte abut it sld ver 2.5millin cpies, becming the best-selling gardening bk f all time.
Upn his retirement in 1975, Barthlmew became interested in gardening, but the mre he gt int it, the mre inefficient he fund it t be. Gardening had lng been practiced in rws, which Barthlemew fund t he wasteful, and difficult t wrk. Using his engineering knw-hw, Barthlmew came up with a methd f gardening that culd be practiced in a tiny backyard r rftp, and which required nly 10 percent f the water f a rw garden.
Barthlemew’s view was that traditinal gardening with its lng rws in between wasted space, water, fertilizer（化肥）and wrk. In fact, his cnclusin was that rw gardens tk up abut 80 percent mre space than needed. In rder t maximize space, he began using raised beds, divided int a number f 12×12 inch squares, each square marked ff with string r wd dividers. Each square was used fr a specific vegetable and the plants were clsely packed t make less space fr weeds, which als accunted fr its water and resurce efficiency（效率）.
The SFG system is ppular and reliable, but it has limitatins. Fr instance, it can be expensive t set up, althugh using recyclable materials t build beds can help. In additin, it desn’t wrk well in dry climates because raised beds dry ut mre quickly. But whatever its limitatins, SFG has gtten millins f peple grwing their wn fd wh might therwise have never knwn the jy f gardening.

A．Remve.B．Cause.C．Replace.D．Cntrl.
25．What kind f persn was Mel Barthlmew?
A．Careful and patient.B．Friendly and utging.
C．Creative and resurceful.D．Respnsible and helpful.
26．Which f the fllwing best describes the advantage f SFG?
A．It helps save space.B．It uses less energy.
C．It benefits the envirnment.D．It wrks in different climates.
27．What is the text mainly abut?
A．A bestselling bk n gardening.
B．The histry f traditinal gardening.
C．A gardening methd invented by an engineer.
D．The great jy brught by the Square Ft Garden.

If we are t believe sme f the upsetting headlines abut Al, barely anyne’s jb is safe. 32% f UK emplyees think AI culd make their rles unnecessary, accrding t a research in 2023．Yet the same research fund that 28% f wrkers believe AI culd make their jbs easier. Meanwhile, many technlgists claim that GenAI tls such as ChatGPT are mre likely t help wrkers than replace them.
And s different industries are explring it. Internatinal law firm Cleary Gttliebfr, fr instance, uses GenAI t scan its databases and create a summary f its lawyers’ relevant experience befre meetings with a new client（客户）. Hwever, the firm says that the dcument prduced by the AI wn’t be ready t send immediately.
Hwever, withut carefully assessing（评估）its pssible side effects befrehand, cmpanies that adpt（采用）a new AI tl risk distancing emplyees r even making their lives mre difficult. Firms shuld therefre identify whether the tech they’re interested in is likely t be a net benefit r nt, accrding t Peter, assistant prfessr f AI at Leiden University. Actually, there are several ther disadvantages that firms seeking t adpt it must avid. In a banking cnference, fr instance, 15CIOs had all been keen t realize the huge prductivity gains prmised by GenAI. Three mnths later, these IT chiefs “hit a wall” when trust issues cncerning data privacy and security arse. They were wrried that the data they had been putting int the tls wuld make its way int their cmpetitrs’ banks.
Dylan Mrley, lead principal engineer at Ass, reprts that measuring the impact f such tls is a tpic f “great discussin” acrss the industry. But he adds that this is a mre cmplex matter than simply adpting a tl and waiting fr, say, a 10% efficiency gain. She argues that firms culd be fcusing n areas such as managing time spent in meetings, ther than adpting AI tls if imprving efficiency is indeed their main gal.

B．T intrduce technlgists’ views n AI.
C．T prve the value f the research n AI.

B．The Al can’t summarize lawyers’ experience.
C．The dcument prduced by AI is f pr quality.
D．Further steps are needed befre the dcument is used.

Peple greet each ther in varius ways, such as saying “hell” in different languages r thrugh physical actins like shaking hands, giving hugs, r exchanging kisses. Similarly, elephants have varius greetings, as revealed by a recent study cnducted n African elephants in Zimbabwe’s Jafuta Reserve. “Female elephants f different family grups might have strng scial bnds（纽带）with each ther, frming what we call bnd grups,” said Vesta Eleuteri f the University f Vienna, the lead writer f the study. “Earlier studies in the wild have reprted that when these grups meet, the elephants perfrm special greetings t annunce and strengthen their scial bnds.”
The study identified arund 20 specific mvements related with elephant greetings, ften accmpanied by different sunds as well. Smell als plays a crucial rle in greetings, with elephants exhibiting behavirs like emitting（排放）bdy waste. Besides, elephants make gestures（动作）meant t be seen, such as spreading their ears r displaying their behinds, and emply tuching gestures invlving tuching ther elephants. They actually shw an understanding f what ther elephants can see, using visual gestures when their partner is lking and tuching gestures when they are nt.
Similar greeting behavir has been bserved in varius animals, which helps manage scial situatins by reducing tensin r cnfirming scial bnds. The study bserved bth female and male elephants in the reserve, with female greetings clsely matching thse f wild elephants, while male greetings appeared different. Wild male elephants ften dn’t frm clse cnnectins with thers but use their nses t tuch the heads f ther elephants, giving ff a chemical called temprin cntaining imprtant infrmatin.
Elephant greetings play an imprtant part in cmmunicatin and scial bnding amng these intelligent creatures. Thrugh their gestures, sunds, and smells, elephants deliver imprtant. infrmatin abut their identity, physical state, and emtinal well-being.
32．What d we knw abut elephant greetings frm paragraph 1?

Humans have been grwing fd fr abut 12,000 years, but 50 years ag a civil engineer named Mel Barthlmew figured ut a new way t d it that culd eliminate a lt f tiring weeding（除草）and watering that went with it. He called it the Square Ft Garden（SFG）, and the bk he wrte abut it sld ver 2.5millin cpies, becming the best-selling gardening bk f all time.
Upn his retirement in 1975, Barthlmew became interested in gardening, but the mre he gt int it, the mre inefficient he fund it t be. Gardening had lng been practiced in rws, which Barthlemew fund t he wasteful, and difficult t wrk. Using his engineering knw-hw, Barthlmew came up with a methd f gardening that culd be practiced in a tiny backyard r rftp, and which required nly 10 percent f the water f a rw garden.
Barthlemew’s view was that traditinal gardening with its lng rws in between wasted space, water, fertilizer（化肥）and wrk. In fact, his cnclusin was that rw gardens tk up abut 80 percent mre space than needed. In rder t maximize space, he began using raised beds, divided int a number f 12×12 inch squares, each square marked ff with string r wd dividers. Each square was used fr a specific vegetable and the plants were clsely packed t make less space fr weeds, which als accunted fr its water and resurce efficiency（效率）.
The SFG system is ppular and reliable, but it has limitatins. Fr instance, it can be expensive t set up, althugh using recyclable materials t build beds can help. In additin, it desn’t wrk well in dry climates because raised beds dry ut mre quickly. But whatever its limitatins, SFG has gtten millins f peple grwing their wn fd wh might therwise have never knwn the jy f gardening.

26．Which f the fllwing best describes the advantage f SFG?
A．It helps save space.B．It uses less energy.
C．It benefits the envirnment.D．It wrks in different climates.

And s different industries are explring it. Internatinal law firm Cleary Gttliebfr, fr instance, uses GenAI t scan its databases and create a summary f its lawyers’ relevant experience befre meetings with a new client（客户）.

Hwever, withut carefully assessing（评估）its pssible side effects befrehand, cmpanies that adpt（采用）a new AI tl risk distancing emplyees r even making their lives mre difficult. Firms shuld therefre identify whether the tech they’re interested in is likely t be a net benefit r nt, accrding t Peter, assistant prfessr f AI at Leiden University. Actually, there are several ther disadvantages that firms seeking t adpt it must avid. In a banking cnference, fr instance, 15CIOs had all been keen t realize the huge prductivity gains prmised by GenAI. Three mnths later, these IT chiefs “hit a wall” when trust issues cncerning data privacy and security arse. They were wrried that the data they had been putting int the tls wuld make its way int their cmpetitrs’ banks.
Dylan Mrley, lead principal engineer at Ass, reprts that measuring the impact f such tls is a tpic f “great discussin” acrss the industry. But he adds that this is a mre cmplex matter than simply adpting a tl and waiting fr, say, a 10% efficiency gain. She argues that firms culd be fcusing n areas such as managing time spent in meetings, ther than adpting AI tls if imprving efficiency is indeed their main gal.

Peple greet each ther in varius ways, such as saying “hell” in different languages r thrugh physical actins like shaking hands, giving hugs, r exchanging kisses. Similarly, elephants have varius greetings, as revealed by a recent study cnducted n African elephants in Zimbabwe’s Jafuta Reserve. “Female elephants f different family grups might have strng scial bnds（纽带）with each ther, frming what we call bnd grups,” said Vesta Eleuteri f the University f Vienna, the lead writer f the study. “Earlier studies in the wild have reprted that when these grups meet, the elephants perfrm special greetings t annunce and strengthen their scial bnds.”
The study identified arund 20 specific mvements related with elephant greetings, ften accmpanied by different sunds as well. Smell als plays a crucial rle in greetings, with elephants exhibiting behavirs like emitting（排放）bdy waste. Besides, elephants make gestures（动作）meant t be seen, such as spreading their ears r displaying their behinds, and emply tuching gestures invlving tuching ther elephants. They actually shw an understanding f what ther elephants can see, using visual gestures when their partner is lking and tuching gestures when they are nt.
Similar greeting behavir has been bserved in varius animals, which helps manage scial situatins by reducing tensin r cnfirming scial bnds. The study bserved bth female and male elephants in the reserve, with female greetings clsely matching thse f wild elephants, while male greetings appeared different. Wild male elephants ften dn’t frm clse cnnectins with thers but use their nses t tuch the heads f ther elephants, giving ff a chemical called temprin cntaining imprtant infrmatin.
Elephant greetings play an imprtant part in cmmunicatin and scial bnding amng these intelligent creatures. Thrugh their gestures, sunds, and smells, elephants deliver imprtant. infrmatin abut their identity, physical state, and emtinal well-being.
