Alexis was a student, the nly sn f his wealthy parents, and felt entitled t the luxuries he had in his life. On a class field trip, Alexis met the frester, Justin, wh had been living in a wden huse in the frest ver ten years. When learning Justin’s life, Alexis laughed at him with his friends.
During the field trip, Alexis and his classmates passed by an entrance t a cave. “This lks s cl!” Alexis exclaimed. He wanted t g inside the cave, but his teacher stpped him.
The next day, Alexis reached the cave with his fur friends, nly t find they culdn’t take their schlbags thrugh the entrance. One by ne, the teenagers entered the cave and were amazed t see hw wide it was frm the inside. Albert picked a large stne up and hit ne f the walls with it. “This place is s cl!” he laughed quietly befre the rcks frm the wall came falling.
“Watch ut, Albert!” Alexis said and pulled Albert twards himself. The teenagers screamed in fear when they saw the rcks fall. They culdn’t see anything because f the dust flating in the air.
The friends were scared when they realized they were trapped in the cave. “HELP! WE ARE STUCK!” the teenagers started screaming fr help, hping smene wuld hear them.
Fate sent Justin t the cave. The frester picked berries every day frm the trees near the cave. While he was walking back t his huse, five bright-clred schlbags caught his attentin. Then he apprached the cave and shuted, “Hey! Wh’s in there?”
“I’m Alexis ! I came here yesterday with my teacher! Help us, please! We are stuck!”
“Okay, calm dwn, children! I’ll help yu ut!” Justin said.
Justin quickly called 911 and infrmed them abut the kids in the cave. Thinking the paramedics (护理人员) wuld take at least twenty minutes t arrive, he decided t help the kids himself befre it was t late. Justin quickly grabbed a shvel and a flashlight and rushed back t the cave’s entrance. Meanwhile, Alexis and his friends tried t stay calm.

Our species’ incredible capacity t quickly acquire wrds frm 300 by age 2 t ver 1, 000 by age 4 isn’t fully understd. Sme cgnitive scientists and linguists have therized that peple are brn with built-in expectatins and lgical cnstraints (约束) that make this pssible. Nw, hwever, machine-learning research is shwing that preprgrammed assumptins aren’t necessary t swiftly pick up wrd meanings frm minimal data.
A team f scientists has successfully trained a basic artificial intelligence mdel t match images t wrds using just 61 hurs f naturalistic ftage (镜头) and sund-previusly cllected frm a child named Sam in 2013 and 2014. Althugh it’s a small slice f a child’s life, it was apparently enugh t prmpt the AI t figure ut what certain wrds mean.
The findings suggest that language acquisitin culd be simpler than previusly thught. Maybe children “dn’t need a custm-built, high-class language-specific mechanism” t efficiently grasp wrd meanings, says Jessica Sullivan, an assciate prfessr f psychlgy at Skidmre Cllege. “This is a really beautiful study, ” she says, because it ffers evidence that simple infrmatin frm a child’s wrldview is rich enugh t kick-start pattern recgnitin and wrd cmprehensin.
The new study als demnstrates that it’s pssible fr machines t learn similarly t the way that humans d. Large language mdels are trained n enrmus amunts f data that can include billins and smetimes trillins f wrd cmbinatins. Humans get by n rders f magnitude less infrmatin, says the paper’s lead authr Wai Keen Vng. With the right type f data, that gap between machine and human learning culd narrw dramatically.
Yet additinal study is necessary in certain aspects f the new research. Fr ne, the scientists acknwledge that their findings dn’t prve hw children acquire wrds. Mrever, the study nly fcused n recgnizing the wrds fr physical bjects.
Still, it’s a step tward a deeper understanding f ur wn mind, which can ultimately help us imprve human educatin, says Eva Prtelance, a cmputatinal linguistics researcher. She ntes that AI research can als bring clarity t lng-unanswered questins abut urselves. “We can use these mdels in a gd way, t benefit science and sciety, ” Prtelance adds.
28．What is a significant finding f machine-learning research?
A．Vcabulary increases gradually with age.
B．Vcabulary can be acquired frm minimal data.
C．Language acquisitin is tied t built-in expectatins.
D．Language acquisitin is as cmplex as frmerly assumed.
29．What des the underlined wrd “prmpt” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Facilitate.B．Persuade.C．Advise.D．Expect.
30．What is discussed abut the new research in paragraph 5?
A．Its limitatins.B．Its strengths.C．Its uniqueness.D．Its prcess.
31．What is Eva Prtelance’s attitude t the AI research?
A．Dubtful.B．Cautius.C．Dismissive.D．Psitive.

UChicag Pritzker Mlecular Engineering Prf. Y. Shirley Meng’s Labratry fr Energy Strage and Cnversin (LESC)has created the wrld’s first ande-free sdium (无阳极钠) slid-state battery. With this research, the LESC has brught the reality f inexpensive, fast- charging, high-capacity batteries fr electric vehicles and grid strage clser than ever.
”Althugh there have been previus sdium, slid-state, and ande-free batteries, n ne has been able t successfully cmbine these three ideas until nw,“ said UC San Dieg PhD candidate Graysn Deysher, first authr f a new paper utlining the team’s wrk.
The paper demnstrates a new sdium battery architecture with stable cycling fr several hundred cycles. By remving the ande and using inexpensive, abundant sdium instead f lithium(锂), this new frm f battery will be mre affrdable and envirnmentally friendly t prduce. Thrugh its innvative slid-state design, the battery als will be safe and pwerful. This wrk is bth an advance in the science and a necessary step t fill the battery scaling gap needed t shift the wrld ecnmy ff fssil fuels.
The lithium cmmnly used fr batteries isn’t that cmmn. It makes up abut 20 parts per millin f the Earth’s crust(地壳), cmpared t sdium, which makes up 20,000 parts per millin. This scarcity, cmbined with the rising demand fr the lithium-in batteries fr laptps, phnes and EVs, have sent prices skyrcketing, putting the needed batteries further ut f reach.
Sdium, cmmn in cean water and sda ash mining, is an inherently mre envirnmentally friendly battery material. The LESC research has made it a pwerful ne as well.
”Sdium slid-state batteries are usually seen as a far-ff-in-the-future technlgy, but we hpe that ur wrk can encurage mre push int the sdium area by demnstrating that it can indeed wrk well, even better than the lithium versin in sme cases,“ Deysher said.
The ultimate gal? Meng expects an energy future with a variety f clean, inexpensive battery ptins that stre renewable energy, scaled t fit sciety’s needs.
32．What d we knw abut the new sdium battery?
A．It’s n sale nw.B．It’s advanced.
C．It charges slw.D．It’s expensive.
33．Hw may the sdium battery affect the glbal ecnmy?
A．It will make batteries mre expensive.
B．It will shift the frm f wrld ecnmy.
C．It will meet the need fr EVs.
D．It will reduce dependence n fssil fuels.
34．Which can best replace the underlined part ”scarcity” in paragraph 4?
A．shrtageB．strageC．strategyD．surce
35．What des Prf. Meng aim t d in the future f energy strage?
A．Find mre surces f material fr battery.
B．Put sdium battery technlgy t market.
C．Offer diverse clean cheap battery chices.
D．Scale t fit sciety’s need fr develpment.

“Did yu write yur thank- yu ntes?” I asked my yunger sn, Jn.
“N, nt yet, Mm,” Jn replied, rlling his eyes. “I’ll d it when I get back frm Kim’s huse.”
“Srry, that’s nt ging t happen!” I said seriusly. “Yu’d better write a nte t everyne yu came int cntact with during yur interview befre leaving.”
“Even the receptinist wh was rude t me?” Jn asked with a cnfused expressin.
“Especially her!”
Jn was hme n summer hliday frm cllege and had just finished interviewing with his first- chice cmpany in Cleveland, Ohi.
The pwer f a thank- yu nte is smething I develped in my bys frm the time they were ld enugh t hld a pencil. N matter what festival it was, every gift had t be acknwledged with sincere gratitude within twenty- fur hurs. It was my hpe that writing thank- yu ntes wuld change their life.
After an hur, Jn appeared frm his rm and handed ver eight thank- yu ntes. T my delight, they were all sincere and heartfelt— even the ne t the receptinist wh had been less friendly.
Befre Jn left t visit his friend Kim, he turned t me and annunced, “Mm, I’m pretty sure that a thank- yu nte t the manager r the receptinist isn’t ging t land me this jb. But if it makes yu happy, then it’s wrth it.”
“We’ll see abut that,” I said, smiling at Jn, wh was twenty- ne years ld.
Ten days after the thank- yu ntes were mailed, Jn received a call frm the cmpany that he had interviewed with. When his cellphne rang fr the secnd time, I asked, “Jn, why aren’t yu respnding?”.
“They’re just calling t let me knw that I didn’t get the jb,” Jn said.
“They dn’t ffer that pliteness,” I explained. “They nly give yu a call when yu get the jb.”
Fr days, Jn had been wandering arund the huse, feeling the weight f his schl lans cming due after graduatin and nt having a jb lined up. He had cmpletely cnvinced himself that he didn’t get the jb, but I knew better.
