Here n the side f Munt Everest, Kaji Bista has spent a decade keeping a lnely watch ver a largely abandned (放弃) scientific labratry, expecting the wrld’s highest research statin t nce again cme t life.
The labratry pened in 1990 serving as a special spt fr scientists seeking t keep an eye n changing cnditins n Earth’s tallest muntain. In 2015 shifting scientific pririties cst the lab mst f its funding, and its 15-persn team were reduced t just Bista alne. Nw, the tall, sft-spken man spends 10 mnths a year wrking t keep the aging lab functining. “My emtinal attachment t the lab … keeps me ging,” he said.
Bista began wrking at the statin in 2006. He states that it was riginally established t settle a disagreement between Italian and U. S. muntaineers ver whether Everest r K2 was the wrld’s tallest. Researchers used GPS measurements t prve Everest was taller, as the Italian climbers insisted. That wrk finally evlved int a plan, supprted by the Natinal Research Cuncil f Italy (CNR) and the Nepal Academy f Science and Technlgy (NAST), t develp a facility that culd d much mre.
Climate scientist Sudeep Thakuri says that he is grateful the lab has played an imprtant rle in nt nly his wn studies f the regin’s glạciers (冰川), but als in studies f reginal bidiversity, the lng-range transprt f pllutants, etc. In respnse t the appeal f scientists, Suresh Kumar Dhungel a senir scientist at NAST, reprts discussins with CNR fficials have recently resulted in mves t resume labratry peratins. And Agstin Da Plenza, president f Ev-K2-CNR, says he is wrking t regenerate lab prgrams. And his grup plans t launch a crwdfunding campaign later t raise mre mney.
Bista des his best t repair thse aging instruments. “When I face any prblem, I turn t experts in Italy and then act accrdingly,” he said. But smetimes it can take mnths fr spare parts t arrive. “I am helpless in this case,” he said. Yet, Bista hasn’t lst hpe. “This labratry will sn be restred,” he said. “This is my belief.”
24. What can we infer abut the research statin?
A. It has set ff several disagreements.
B. It requires higher maintenance csts.
C. It has been fully functining fr years.
D. It has been lightly regarded in recent years.
25. What was the statin initially intended fr?

D. Establishing harmny between Italy and the US.
26. Which f the fllwing best describes Bista’s quality?

On Sctland’s west cast is the Firth f Clyde, a large hme t thusands f prpises(海豚) and ne dlphin named Kylie. Kylie hasn’t been bserved with ther cmmn dlphins in at least 14 years but she’s far frm alne. On clear days in the Clyde, visitrs t the marina can smetimes see Kylie swimming with prpises, which are abut tw-thirds her size.
New research suggests Kylie’s ties t prpises are clser than scientists imagined. While a cmmn dlphin’s vcal(发声的) ability shuld include a diverse range f clicks, whistles (口哨声)，and etc. , Kylie desn’t whistle. Instead, she “talks” mre like prpises, which cmmunicate using high bursts f clicks.
“The study suggests that she may be cmmunicating with the prpises, r at least attempting t. It’s part f a grwing bdy f wrk that shws a rich wrld f interactins(互动) between different species f dlphins, Clearly, species in the wild interact much mre than we thught,” says dlphin behaviur expert Denise Herzing.
T learn mre abut Kylie’s relatinship with the prpises, scientists brrwed a device (装置) t recrd sunds f Kylie and prpises when they met each ther frm 2016 t 2018. “She’s definitely identified as a prpise,” says Nairn, wh trained as a sea bilgist in cllege. Researchers als studied thusands f dlphins clicks frm the recrdings carefully.
While dlphins whistle very ften, prpises never d. Instead, they cmmunicate with what are called narrw-band, high-frequency (NBHF) clicks. T hear an NBHF click yu have t play it abut ne hundred times slwer.
Ever since February 2021, Kylie has been missing. Nairn says he can’t help but wrry. Nairn and his wrkmates say they’re eager t lk fr and listen t Kylie as sn as the spring field seasn begins-and see what else she might teach us.
28. In what way are prpises different frm dlphins?
A. Prpises are bigger in size.
B. Prpises never whistle.
C. Prpises like living in grups.
D. Prpises live in fresh waters.
29. Hw des Kylie cmmunicate with the prpises?
A. By tuching.B. By whispering.
C. By ndding her head.D. By giving ut clicks.
30. What was the device used fr?
A. Taking clear pictures f Kylie underwater.
B. Learning mre abut Kylie’s habitat.
C. Studying the clicks made by Kylie and the prpises.
D. Examining hw sea creatures interact each ther.
31. What is a gd way t hear an NBHF click?
A. Playing it underwater.B. Playing it repeatedly.
C. Playing it in a quiet place.D. Playing it a lt mre slwly.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technlgy may sn be a useful tl fr dctrs. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer in ways that were never befre pssible.
Rishi Rawat teaches AI at the University f Suthern Califrnia’s (USC) Clinical Science Center in Ls Angeles. He is part f a team f scientists wh are researching hw AI and machine learning can mre easily recgnize cancerus grwths in the breast.
Rawat prvides infrmatin abut cancer cells t a cmputer. He says, “This data helps the machine learn. Yu can put the data int machines and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recgnitin that is imprtant t making decisins.”
David Agus is anther USC researcher. He believes that machines are nt ging t take the place f dctrs. He says, “Cmputers will nt treat patients, but they will help make certain decisins and lk fr things that the human brain can’t recgnize by itself.”
Once a cnfirmed cancerus grwth is remved, dctrs still have t treat the patient t reduce the risk f cancer returning. The frm f treatment depends n the kind f cancer. Currently, researchers take a thin piece f tissue, put it n a small piece f glass and add clr t better see the cells. That prcess culd take days r even lnger. Scientists say AI can d smething better than just cunt cells. Thrugh machine learning, it can recgnize cmplex patterns, r structures, and learn hw the cells are rganized. The hpe is that machines will sn be able t make a quick identificatin f cancer that is free f human mistakes.
Agus adds, “All f a sudden, we have the cmputing pwer t really d it in real time. We didn’t have the cmputing pwer t d this several years ag, but nw it’s all changed.”
The USC’s researchers are nw nly studying breast cancer. But dctrs predict AI will ne day make a difference in all frms f cancer.
32. What is the key t the learning f AI accrding t the text?
A. The input f data.B. The categries f machines.
C. Cmputers’ recgnitin ability.D. Scientists’ cnsistent research.
33. What is the main pint f the furth paragraph?
A. Cmputers will replace dctrs in the future.
B. Dctrs dn’t need any help frm machines.
C. Machines can assist dctrs in decisin-making.
D. David Agus desn’t believe in the rle f machines in medicine.
34. What is the AI’s advantage ver traditinal methds in cancer identifying?
A. It will cst less mney.B. It will becme mre effective.
C. It will relieve patients’ suffering.D. It will crrect persnal mistakes.
35. Which wrd can best describe the technlgy?
A. Prmising.B. Integrated.C. User-friendly.D. Challenging.
