On February 20, the science fictin magazine Clarkeswrld was frced t stp accepting any new articles frm writers after it was flded with AI-written stries.
“By the time we clsed n the 20th, we had received 500 human-written stries and 700 AI-written nes,” said editr-in-chief Neil Clarke. “It was increasing at such a speed that we figured that by the end f the mnth, we wuld have dubled the number f articles we nrmally have. The rate had been grwing frm previus mnths, and we were cncerned that we had t d smething t stp it.”

“Yu knw, ur masct (吉祥物) is a rbt. S we see the irny,” he said. “But the thing is that science fictin is ften intended t give a warning t peple. We dn’t celebrate technlgy just because it exists. We want t make sure that we’re using it right. And there are sme significant legal and mral issues arund this technlgy that we’re nt ready t accept.

3M and Discvery Educatin annunced Sean Jiang frm Gilman Schl as ne f the tp ten finalists frm acrss the natin fr the 2023 3M Yung Scientist Challenge. It’s a cmpetitin that encurages students t identify an everyday prblem and submit a vide shwing the science behind the slutin he r she came up with.
14-year-ld Jiang decided t help thse wh can’t see. Blind peple had a hard time navigating (导航) bjects that are medium t far range. S Jiang wanted t design smething t give them a heads-up n bstacles (障碍) that may be incming.
Jiang’s inspiratin came frm the pwers f the hearing system. “I learned in schl that bats and whales are able t use echlcatin (回声定位) t help them navigate and just use their sense f hearing and I als saw n YuTube sme very skilled blind peple that use echlcatin t help them walk,” said Jiang.
Jiang started with a virtual reality setting and then made it a reality. His creatin uses a depth camera that can detect hw clse bjects are, thus giving enugh time t ddge the bstacles. When a blind is walking with the device, the sensr f the depth camera gathers the infrmatin regarding the bstacles’ psitin and distance. Then the AI system in it will turn the distance data int musical sund guidance. This culd significantly increase the walking speed f a blind persn as well as decrease the number f bstacles they hit.
Sme ther similar prgrams were alright at finding bjects that were in clse range, but Jiang still wanted the blind t experience the wrld even fuller s they were able t see stuff that was much further away than their circle f reach.
In Octber, the tp ten finalists will cmpete in persn in Minneaplis fr the title f “America’s Tp Yung Scientist” and a $ 25, 000 prize.
28. What can we learn abut Jiang frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. He was the champin f the 2023 3M event.
B. He invented technlgy t remve rad bstacles.
C. He sught t assist the blind in walking smthly.
D. He develped a new navigatin app fr his schl.
29. Why did Jiang mentin “echlcatin”?
A. T shw the develpment f technlgy.B. T present the difficulties the blind face.
C. T stress the significance f hearing.D. T explain the inspiratin f his inventin.
30. What des the underlined wrd “ddge” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Avid.B. Encunter.C. Challenge.D. Remve.
31. What is the text mainly abut?
A. 3M facilities intended fr the blind.B. A teen using sund t help the blind.
C. An inventin t cure visin prblems.D. A cmpetitin t imprve the blind’s life.

Sean Rystn, and his lng-time friend, Tlin Annis had a traditin t head ut fr an expeditin every ther year. In 2016, they decided t kayak (划皮艇) the Rcks Natinal Lakeshre, a challenging rute n Lake Superir, teibentrti tu bbsn l rast udern.
On September 13, they laded up n fd and camping devices, climbed int their kayaks, and pushed ff frm a beach near the natinal park’s headquarters. They planned t return in a week. They mved thrugh small waves and headed nrtheast. Sn the lake shre’s trademark cliffs (悬崖) began t rise n their right. Away frm the shre, the head wind grew t the frecasted 10 knts — and kept rising. Still, they never cnsidered turning arund.
They had been rwing maybe 90 minutes when, quite suddenly, the waves grew t tw metres and steepened. The wind rse t an intense 20 knts, putting them in danger f flipping ver. “It went bad fast!” shuted Tlin, wh was in the lead abut 20 metres ahead f Sean. Meanwhile, the wind pushed them clser t the cliff, where the waves became even steeper and rlled them int the water.
Sean managed t get back t kayak, hlding nt it fr stability, and then paddled using his free hand. But he culdn’t make any prgress against the strng wind. “My arms are giving ut.” Sean thught t himself, “I gtta call nw.” Using a VHF radi clipped t his life jacket, Sean called: “Mayday, tw kayakers stuck.” But the tall cliffs blcked the signal frm reaching anyne. When he raised his head, his friend had disappeared frm sight. The man yelled t his friend at the tp f his lungs, but there’s n reply.
Sean struggled until the waves finally pushed him away frm the shreline and farther ut in the lake. Exhausted, he flated n his back and cnsidered his ptins. Sean decided t turn dwnwind, twards the beach where they had launched that mrning. It was 5 kilmeters away. “I’m a swimmer.” Sean talked himself up and started kicking.

Overall, Yur wrk is valuable, and I believe it will benefit many students.

【答案】
Luckily, after abut three hurs, Sean saw the beach within reach. With his last strength, he pulled and kicked against the crashing waves, his lungs burning and limbs numb. Cllapsing nt the sand, he gasped fr air, but he knew the clck was ticking. “I must hurry up t save Tlin!” he muttered. Dragging his trembling feet, he headed tward the park headquarters, shuting, “One man is drwning alng the cliff! Help!” Rangers heard him and rushed him inside fr treatment, calling fr the rescue team at the same time.
The rescue team headed ut immediately fr Tlin. A helicpter sared ver the cliffs, its sptlight piercing thrugh the rain. Suddenly, a faint whistle eched — Tlin hung n t a rck, waving his arm. A rescuer n the rpe apprached him carefully, and then pulled him up abard, wrapping him in a blanket. Minutes later, they tk Tlin back t the headquarters t reunite with his friend. Sean held Tlin tight, tears streaming dwn his face. “Thank gdness yu’ re fine,” Sean said, gripping his friend’s shulders. Tlin ndded, “Yur bravery and determinatin saved us.”TALK l: Explring the universe with the first light.
