As I grew up, ur shelves were full f ckbks, each full f my mum’s handwriting. Included in the handwriting were dates when recipes had been cked, wh they’d been cked fr, whether r nt they were any gd, and any alteratins that had t be made (“t salty,” “duble the recipe,” “didn’t have this, used that instead”). Where ther frms f literature can feel rare, even precius t sme, ckbks permit this kind f writing.
Truth be tld, ckbks I ften g back t are bvius befre yu even turn t them—wrinkled paper, sptted and marked. I’ve halved the amunt f sugar in a cake recipe frm Rukmini Iyers’ The Green Rasting Tin. I’ve added a spicy mix t a carrt salad frm Ruby Tandh’s Flavur. Fr better r wrse, the ckbks I wn are wned by nbdy else.
If yu d this t and feel guilty abut writing thrugh thrughly tested recipes r messing up beautiful paper, yu needn’t. The practice f writing n ckbks is essential t the experience f reading, and indeed, using them. Often these ntes can prvide a windw int the wner’s life, which is ne f the reasns why ckbks are ften handed dwn within families. In many cases, they are the nly written recrds we have frm ur lved nes. I think that they are telling stries and inviting cnversatins. Implied in cnversatin is talking back, exchanging smething with lved nes, and maybe exchanging smething with a versin f yurself in the future.
Smetimes I wnder what I’m buying when I buy ckbks. Is it inspiratin t d smething I’ve nt dne befre, r permissin t give myself the time t feel addicted t a hbby? My friend Ella sums up her wn insight int fd writing simply with “Writing abut fd is writing abut being alive,” s maybe that’s what I’m buying, and what we all are.
24．What can we knw abut the authr’s mm?
A．She was a prfessinal ck.B．She cllected literature wrks.
C．She ften made ntes n ckbks.D．She wrte ppular ckbks.
25．What des the authr think f the writing in ckbks?
A．It imprves life quality.B．It carries future dreams.
C．It helps understand its writer.D．It makes recipes easy t read.
26．Why des the authr buy ckbks?
A．T advance her learning.B．T share ideas with friends.
C．T gain cking inspiratin.D．T recrd her life experiences.
27．What is the best title f the text?
A. Why We Need t Buy Ckbks B. Hw We Adjust Recipes in Ckbks
C.Why We Shuld D Writing in Ckbks D.Hw We Pass Dwn Ckbks with Ntes

Califrnia researchers develped a glve with built-in electrnic sensrs that can translate American Sign Language (ASL) int English in real time thrugh an app n yur smartphne.
Unlike its past cunterparts, the new glve is lightweight, inexpensive and lng-lasting. The device culd help remve cmmunicatin barriers between signers and nn-signers. Hpefully, this may pen up an easy way fr peple wh use sign language t cmmunicate directly with nn-signers withut needing smene else t translate fr them.
The team wrked with fur peple wh are deaf and use ASL and had them repeat gestures up t 15 times while wearing the glve-like device, simultaneusly teaching a machine hw t recgnize them.
The glve has thin, stretchable sensrs made frm “electrically cnducting yarns” that run up each finger and change the mvements int signals. These signals are sent t a “dllar-cin-sized” circuit bard placed n the persn’s wrist, which then wirelessly transfers them ver t a smartphne.
The system was able t recgnize 660 hand mtins and finger placements that stand fr each letter in the English alphabet, different phrases and each number. The prgram recgnized the crrect signs abut 99% f the time, and in less than ne secnd — r abut a tne wrd per secnd.
The researchers als placed sensrs in between the participants’ eyebrws and n the sides f their muths t “capture facial expressins that are a part f ASL”. The same exact hand-shape and mvement can ttally change meaning because f the facial expressin that is used t accmpany it. Take the wrd MUCH fr instance. The degree f hw much can ttally be determined by the facial expressin alne while the sign stays the same.
Researchers said the glve wuld need t learn mre vcabulary and be able t translate signs faster in rder t get a cmmercial versin f it in stres.
28．Wh is the new glve intended fr?
A．Translatrs.B．Deaf peple.
C．English learners.D．Sign language users.
29．What des Paragraph 4 mainly say abut the new glve?
A．Its reliability.B．Its cmpsitins.
C．Its wrking principle.D．Its brad applicatins.
30．Hw d researchers imprve the glve’s crrectness f recgnitin?
A．By cnnecting it wirelessly t smartphnes.
B．By integrating facial expressins int gestures.
C．By lengthening the time f catching gestures.
D．By inputting mre letters and wrds in English.
31．What will researchers d with the glve in the future?
A．Bring it t market.B．Update its utlk.
C．Extend its service life.D．Imprve its perfrmance.

“Wman reading bk, under a night sky, dreamy atmsphere,” I type int Deep Dream Generatr’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned t me shwing what I’ve described.
Welcme t the wrld f AI image generatin, where yu can create what n the surface lks like tp-rank artwrk using just a few text prmpts (提示). But clser examinatin shws ddities. The face f the wman in my image has very dd features, and she appears t be hlding multiple bks. And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s n creative satisfactin.
AI image generatin culd influence everything frm film t graphic nvels and mre. Children’s illustratrs were quick t raise cncerns abut the technlgy. They say AI-generated art is the exact ppsite f what art is believed t be. Fundamentally, art is all abut translating smething that yu feel internally int smething that exists externally. Whatever frm it takes, true art is abut the creative prcess much mre than it’s abut the final piece. And simply pressing a buttn t generate an image is nt a creative prcess.
Beynd creativity, there are deeper issues. T create images frm prmpts, AI generatrs rely n databases f already existing art and text. This culd lead t the creatin f images that are intentinally meant t imitate (模仿) the style f ther artists, withut their agreement. There is an argument that AI generatrs wrk n differently t humans when it cmes t being influenced by thers’ wrk. Hwever, a human artist is als adding emtin and slight difference int the mix. AI desn’t d the same—it can nly cpy.
The increasing use f AI will als lead t a devaluing f the wrk f artists. There’s already a negative prejudice twards the creative industry. Peple will begin t think that their “wrk” is as excellent as that created by smene wh has spent a career making art. It’s nnsense, f curse. Yu can use yur mbile phne t take a nice picture f yur daughter, but yu are n match fr prfessinals.
32．What des the writer think f his image creatin?
A．Exciting. B．Cncerning.C．Unsatisfying. D．Shcking.
33．What d children’s illustratrs value mst abut art?
A．The final art wrk.B．External expressins in art.
C．The ppsite f reality.D．The jurney t creatin.
34．What is paragraph 4 f the text mainly abut?
A．The mral cncerns abut AI creatin.
B．Human artists’ influence n AI generatrs.
C．The ver-reliance f human n technlgy.
D. The strengths and weaknesses f AI imitatin.
35．Which f the fllwing best summarizes the last paragraph?
A．Art is the mirrr f life.B．Rme is nt built in ne day.
C．N man can d tw things at nce.D．Dn’t judge a bk by its cver.

Living ff grid
When yu need electricity, yu just plug in the machine and switch it n. If yu need water, yu turn n the tap. 36 Fr many peple, these facilities are the basics f civilized sciety and the idea f living withut them seems risky. Yet fr a grwing number f peple, the idea f living ff grid — withut electricity, water r sewage (污水) — is an increasingly attractive lifestyle.
Off-gridders d nt have t give up electricity r a mdern lifestyle — sme chse t, but mst use small hydrelectric(水电的) pwer systems, slar panels r windmills t generate enugh pwer fr their needs. Heating and cking needs are met by slar energy r wd burning systems, and tilet facilities range frm nn-water tilets t utside cmpst（堆肥）tilets. 37 It ranges frm traditinal yurts (a type f tent) t luxury huse with high-speed internet and central heating. Whether they live in simple hmes r luxury huses, what they all have in cmmn is that their lifestyles d nt create any pllutin r carbn emissins — the ultimate gal fr ff-gridders.
Arund 100,000 peple are thught t be living ff grid in the UK nw. 38 They grw their wn fd, hme-schl their children and prvide their wn medical care. They are peple wh have been priced ut f the husing market r wh have grwn disillusined with what mdern sciety can ffer and wh decides that an alternative lifestyle isn’t a fantasy, but an available ptin.
39 Off-grid huses are far cheaper t build than rdinary hmes since they dn’t need t be cnnected t the electricity r water supplies and even rad access is nt necessary. Materials tend t be cheaper, t. Ppular ptins include straw r ld tyres and cement.
Surprisingly, the biggest prblem ff-gridders face is nt building their hmes r becming self-sufficient but getting permissin t build. Rural areas away frm twn are the perfect chice but these are ften prtected by law frm cnstructin f any kind r have building restrictins. There are nw several websites dedicated t land-sharing s that the csts f buying land can be shared, and there are increasing numbers f ff-grid cmmunities. 40 Off-gridding culd sn be cmmn all ver Eurpe and America.
A. They live in a huge variety f types f accmmdatin.
B. After yu use the tilet, yu flush it and the waste disappears.
C. Living ff-grid still has a lng way t g befre it becmes a mainstream way f living.
D. Apart frm living an alternative lifestyle, cst is a big factr in chsing t live ff-grid.
E. This shift frm individual t grup ff-gridding reflects the fact that the trend is grwing nticeably.
F. Many are self-sufficient, nt just prviding their wn electricity, water and sewage systems, but in all aspects.
G. Rather than building permanent hmes, vans r mbile hmes r even ld shipping cntainers are ther ptins.

W: N ne knws exactly why sme peple live lnger than thers. Fr nearly ten years I’ve been trying t find the answer t this questin.I’ve traveled t places with a large number f peple aged 100 and ver. Nw I ’ ve finished ding research n the Island f sardinia in Italy.Sardinia is an amazing place because mst men keep lng life.That isn ’t nrmal fr mst cuntries. what is the reasn? In sardinia culture , as men get lder , they have fewer public and family respnsibilities , but the lder mthers r grandmthers ften have mre. perhaps the lder men suffer less stress , which means they ’re living lnger. It ’s true that n sardinia the yunger peple are eating mre fast fd. Als , yung peple are mving t cities , s they are ding less exercise because f their lifestyle. It will be interesting t cme back t sardinia in twenty years and see if peple are still living lnger.
