Humans and elephants dn’t always get alng. In Africa and Asia, elephants damage public facilities, farmers’ crps, and natural habitat fr ther species. If an elephant becmes a prblem, humans may kill it. S lcal peple are trying t find better ways t keep elephants away frm sensitive places. Nw, researchers think they have a gd tl t discurage elephants: hneybee phermnes (信息素).
“Elephants strngly dislike being bitten in the trunk, because it’s an extremely sensitive rgan. Imagine being bitten in yur nse by a bee, and multiply that a few thusand times,” said Mark Wright, a prfessr frm the University f Hawaii.
Kenyan farmers have lng knwn if they hang live beehives arund their farms, they will drive elephants away. “The prblem is hw t manage thusands f hives, if there’s a huge area t prtect? And then the idea came up t lk at the alarm phermnes, which are chemicals that the bees release t attack smething that’s damaging the hive.” Because elephants have a highly develped sense f smell, Wright and his team thught they culd use the bees’ chemical alarm signal t affect elephant behavir.
S the researchers tested ut chemicals that imitate (模仿) hneybees’ alarm phermnes. The team hung white scks treated with the mixture as well as untreated cntrl scks arund elephants, and then bserved the animals’ behavir. “When they see smething like a sck hanging n a branch, they’ll check it, and if it’s nt treated with the alarm, they’ll pick it up and thrw it arund. But in the case f the treated nes, we fund that they wuld shw immediate signs f unease r uncertainty, and they’d eventually back ff frm them,” as stated in the jurnal Current Bilgy.
4. What will the researchers d t prevent elephants frm damaging human’s habitat?
A. They wuld apply hneybee phermnes.
B. They wuld rebuild a new ecsystem.
C. They wuld scare them away.
D. They wuld kill them.
5. The chemicals can successfully drive elephants away because f _______.
A. elephants’ sensitive trunkB. elephants’ pwerful hearing
C. elephants’ well develped sense f smellD. elephants’ huge curisity
6. Accrding t paragraph 4, when elephants fund a sck with chemicals, they felt ______.
A. pleasantB. curius
C. excitedD. anxius
7. Where might yu read the text?
A. On the schl ntice bard.B. In a scientific magazine.
C. At an exhibitin.D. In a travel brchure.

In May 2020, the Beijing Organizing Cmmittee fr the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (BOCOG) slicited medal designs wrldwide. Hang Hai and his team set abut preparing designs t submit t the BOCOG.
Medals reflect the culture and creativity f the hst cuntry, and the team set tw basic principles fr their design: First, it shuld cntinue t adpt the jade (玉) culture incrprated int the design f the Beijing 2008 medals t highlight Beijing’s status as the wrld’s first city t hst bth the Summer and Winter Games; secnd, it shuld be innvative.
“The medals f bth the Beijing 2008 and 2022 Games are t hnr the athletes and the Olympic spirit with traditinal jade culture,” said Hang. Jade was chsen because it has been treasured in China and symblizes gd virtue. “The difference is that the 2008 medals used the jade as a material, while the 2022 medals represent the spirit f China’s jade culture,” he added.
In the prcess f designing the medals, ne team member, Lin Fan, cnducted extensive research int China’s ancient bi. Lin finally chse a five-ring ne assciated with Fu Ha — a Shang Dynasty queen—as the prttype (原型) fr the medals. In the final design, the ppsite side f the medals has the Olympic rings engraved in the center, surrunded by five big cncentric (同心的) rings. Auspicius clud patterns, as well as snwflakes and ice patterns are engraved between the circles. The clud patterns are intended t maintain a cultural cnnectin with the 2008 Games, while the snwflakes and ice patterns speak t the characteristics f the Winter Olympics.
The cases hlding the medals are made f bamb. “The Internatinal Olympic Cmmittee inquired abut the grwth and prcessing f the bamb t ensure it meets the requirements f a green Olympics and fllws the cncept f sustainable (可持续的) develpment,” Hang said.
The medals passed the quality test and were accepted by the Games’ rganizing cmmittee n January 7, 2022. The medals are fficially named Tngxin and they are the result f many peple’s effrts. Hwever, the smile n the athletes’ faces as they wear them makes it all wrthwhile.
8. What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The histry f the Olympic medals.
B. The inspiratin fr the 2008 medal patterns.
C. The significance f the 2022 Winter Olympics.
D. The essential requirements f the 2022 medal designs.
9. Hw are the 2022 medals different frm the 2008 medals?
A. 2022 medals use the jade as a material.
B. 2022 medals reflect the spirit f China’s jade culture.
C. 2022 medals mark an innvatin in the medal designs.
D. 2022 medals fllw the cncept f envirnmental prtectin.
10. Why did the designers add clud patterns t the 2022 medals?
A. T strengthen the bnd with the 2008 Games.
B. T shw the charm f Chinese traditinal culture.
C. T stand fr harmny between human and nature.

Artificial intelligence is ne f the mst cncentrated industries in the wrld, which influences educatin, criminal justice, hiring and welfare, But s far the industry has escapedregulatin (管理), despite affecting the lives f billins f peple, even when its prducts are ptentially harmful.
The COVID-19 pandemic has sped this up. Many Al cmpanies are nw prmting emtin recgnitin tls (ERTs) fr mnitring remte wrkers. These systems map the “micr-expressins”in peple’s faces frm their vide cameras. Then they predict internal emtinal states drawn frm a list f suppsedly universal categries: happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, surprise and fear. Hwever, there is scientific dubt whether emtinal states are accurately detected at all. “It is nt pssible t cnfidently infer happiness frm a smile, r sadness frm a frwn,” a 2019 review stated.
Resistance t this highly cntrversial (有争议的) technlgy is grwing; the influential.
Brkings Institute suggested ERTs be banned cmpletely frm use by law. The Eurpean Unin becmes the first t attempt a prpsal t regulate AI, but the draft AI act has its prblems. It wuld ban mst “real-time” bimetric ID (生物识别) systems — but fails t define what exactly real-time means.
Clearly, we need far strnger prtectins and cntrls that address such harmful effects n sciety. Hwever, t many plicymakers fall int the trap f “enchanted determinism”: the belief that AI systems are magical and superhuman — beynd what we can understand r regulate, yet decisive and reliable enugh t make predictins abut life-changing decisins. This effect drives a kind f techn-ptimism that can directly endanger peple’s lives. Fr example, a review in the British Medical Jurnal lked at 232 machine-learning algrithms (算法) fr predicting utcmes fr COVID-19 patients. It fund that nne f them were fit fr clinical use. “I fear that they may have harmed patients,” said ne f the authrs.
Many cuntries have strict regulatins and thrugh testing when develping medicines and vaccines. The same shuld be true fr AI systems, especially thse having a direct impact n peple’s lives.
12. What can be inferred frm paragraph 2?
A. The COVTD-19 pandemic has sped up the regulatin f AI.
B. The internal emtinal states are nly limited t six basic categries.
C. There is n reliable link between facial expressins and true feelings.
D Peple’s micr-expressins accurately reveal their internal emtins.
13. Why des the authr mentin the prblems f the draft AI act?
A. T shw EU’s resistance t AI technlgy.
B. T shw the difficulty in regulating AI.
C. T prve AI technlgy shuld be banned.
D. T prve the act is cmpletely ineffective.
14. Which f the fllwing is the effect f “enchanted determinism”？
A. It shakes peple’s cnfidence in technlgy.
B. It enables peple t crrectly predict future.
C. It misleads plicymakers in making decisins.
D. It helps predict utcmes fr COVID-19 patients.
15. What is the best title f the article?
A. AI: Prducts in Demand
B. AI: Strict Rules in Place
C. AI: Tight Cntrl in Need
D. AI: Technlgy in Danger

I was finally ging t see Giant Rck with my brthers and Dad. I’d been snwsheing befre, and I liked the adventure f hiking thrugh deep snw alngside wild-animal tracks. After putting n ur snwshes, we studied the map. Dad said, “We start here n the red trail, and then we turn left nt the purple ne. That’s where Giant Rck is. Remember t stick tgether, guys!”
The trail ran uphill alngside a stne wall. It was easy t fllw because red markers were nailed t the trees and the snw had been packed dwn by ther hikers. Half way up the hill, we turned nt the winding purple trail. We settled int a rhythm, with Dad and everyne else in frnt and me in the back, crunch-crunching thrugh the snw. The late afternn sun felt warm, althugh it was already sinking lwer. I saw lts f animal tracks-mstly deer, squirrel, and rabbit prints, which I recgnized frm my field guide.
An hur later, we tpped the hill and saw the massive rck sitting alne in the frest. “It is really huge, as big as a huse!” my brther Jsh said, gazing up. Breathlessly standing in the rck’s giant shadw, I nticed the sun had dipped even lwer.
“Let’s head back,” Dad said.
I was a little behind the grup when I nticed a set f animal tracks I didn’t recgnize. They were hard t see amng the snwshe prints, s I fllwed them ff the trail fr a clser lk. There were n claw marks, which meant they didn’t belng t a dg r a fx. Instead, they lked like tiny handprints and ftprints. “Must be a raccn (浣熊),” I thught, matching them t prints in my guide.
I lked up when I suddenly realized hw quiet it had gtten. I was ttally alne. “Hey!” I shuted. “Where is everyne?” nthing. Just the sund f my wn breathing. “They culdn’t have gne far. I’ll catch up t them if I hurry,” I thught, stepping back nt the trail. The light had grwn darker by the secnd. Withut flashlight and phne, I began running.
