It's January 2022, and my seven-year-ld sn is standing n his skatebard at the tp f a cncrete slpe(斜坡). He lks scared, and I'm urging him t try, almst begging. The reasn fr my enthusiasm? Just a few weeks earlier, I std frzen in that same spt befre taking my wn leap. I knw hw amazed he' ll feel afterward, s we take baby steps. Finally, he des it all n his wn. As he makes it, his smile lights up the entire skatepark.
There's smething magical abut skatebarding: In a flash, fright turns int delight. My husband and Ibegan skating even when we are in ur 40s, s that we culd learn alngside ur sn. As a“later skater”, I' ve cme t realize that everything seems impssible until yu try it. At the time, I had n idea hw much I wuld gain frm the nt-s-simple art f standing sideways.
First, skatebarding teaches determinatin because prgress cmes frm effrts. N matter hw skilled the crwd r hw gravity-defying (反重力的) the mves, yu' ll see just as many tricks ging wrng as right. Irish writer Samuel Beckett culd have been speaking fr skaters when he wrte:“Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”
There are als plenty f sensible benefits, such as mindfulness. When yu' re skatebarding, it's almst impssible t think f anything else. What magic it is t step n a piece f wd with fur little wheels and be transprted t a place where yur head is emptied and the utside wrld can't tuch yu.
The best part, thugh? The cmmunity. My husband, sn and I are part f an infrmal grup f parents and children wh skate tgether. We lve it, frm the clear ringing sund beneath ur wheels t the way the sun makes the graffiti-cvered buildings pp with clr. We make friends and learn frm ne anther. We face ur fears side by side, cheer fr the highs, and share the falls.
24. Why did the authr urge her sn t try?

D. She wished him t enjy the delight after fear.
25. What is the authr's purpse in mentining Samuel Beckett?
A. T explain hw t avid failures. B. T prve skatebarding needs talent.
C. T stress the value f cnsistent effrts. D. T shw sprts' influence n literature.
26. What is the benefit f skatebarding accrding t Paragraph 4?
A. It makes peple think mre clearly.
B. It helps keep the distractins away.
C. It encurages skaters t build cnnectins.
D. It speeds skaters t escape frm chasers.
27. What message des the authr cnvey in the text?

What is yur favrite wrk f art? Nw imagine it was created by artificial intelligence (AI).
A recent U. S. survey explred public views n AI-generated art. The results were clear: mst participants disliked art made entirely by AI. They believed human art pssesses an emtinal depth that machines cannt——and perhaps shuld nt——reprduce. In fact, ver 60% said they wuld like their favrite piece f art less if it was AI-generated with n human invlvement.
The cre issue is that we seek the human experience in art. We want t see the artist's persnal tuch,their stry, and their effrt. As ne respndent nted, a film like Gd Will Hunting is valued as"a masterpiece f the human experience."As philspher Jhn Dewey wrte, art is a fundamental frm f cmmunicatin. If great art cmes frm human emtins, what is the rle f AI?
The survey fund peple are pen t AI as a tl. When asked if AI users are artists, 42% said"Yes, but nly if they prvide significant guidance."Only 13% cnsidered AI users artists withut reservatin. This suggests that peple see AI as an assistant t human creativity, nt a replacement fr the artist.
This is imprtant because art can be inaccessible. Many face barriers like cst, lack f resurces, r physical limitatins. Fr instance, prfessinal tls and training are ften expensive r gegraphically limited.AI has the ptential t lwer these barriers, making creatin mre accessible t everyne. Fr example, sme prfessinals are already using AI t help new strytellers. Hwever, we ften value effrt and handmade items mre. Therefre, fr AI-assisted art t be trusted, it needs a clear cnnectin t the authr's unique visin. Art frms that rely heavily n genuine human cnnectin, like mvies and pdcasts(播客), were seen as least suitable fr AI creatin.
In cnclusin, while AI's rle in art will grw, ur survey shws that peple value it mst as a means f human cnnectin and prefer it t assist rather than replace the artist.
28. What is the main finding f the survey?
A. Public resistance t fully AI art is cmmn.
B. AI is incapable f creating emtinally deep art.
C. Mst peple refuse t accept any frm f AI art.
D. AI art is cnsidered mre valuable fr its efficiency.
29. What's the majr reasn behind the finding?
A. The cncern abut art's cst and access. B. The demand fr guidance during creatin.
C. The appreciatin fr human individuality in art. D. The recgnitin f art as human cmmunicatin.
30. What des the authr try t cnvey in Paragraph 5?
A. The functin f AI in supprting art creatrs.
B. The threat f AI-assisted art t traditinal art.
C. The ptential f human effrts being replaced.
D. The value f human invlvement in art creatin.
31. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. The AI Artist: A Rising Frce in Art
B. AI's Rle in Art: A Tl, Nt a Replacement
C. Human Art: The Unbeatable Human Element
D. AI's Creativity: The Limits f Smart Technlgy

Even desert cities culd pull drinking water frm the air. A yearlng study in Chile's Atacama Desert suggests that a simple methd f harvesting water frm fg culd help ease water shrtages fr urban areas. This innvative apprach has gained renewed attentin as climate change wrsens the lack f water in dry regins.
The research, led by gegrapher Virginia Carter Gamberini, fcused n the city f Alt Hspici. The team fund that using large nets, it was pssible t cllect between 0.2 and 5 liters f fg water per square meter daily. The amunt cllected changes depending n the height f the area and hw thick the fg is, with places lcated higher shwing better results.“This shws fg water can be a practical additin,” Gamberini said, highlighting its ptential as an additinal water surce.
The need fr such slutins is urgent. Chile suffers frm a severe lng-term drught, and its water resurces are prly managed. In additin, ppulatin grwth and industrial expansin are increasing water demand. Much f the regin's grundwater is taken away fr mining and agriculture, leaving cities like AltHspici, which relies n water trucked in frm distant aquifer(含水层) drill sites, in a risky situatin.
The cllectin prcess is straightfrward. When wet fg, knwn lcally as“camanchaca”, rlls in, a net sheet, acting as a barrier that catches the water in the air, is set up t capture tiny water drplets. The water then falls int a specially designed channel, which is impermeable, preventing the precius water frm being lst int the dry grund.
Despite its prmise, fg harvesting alne cannt fully meet the city's demand, which reaches abut300,000 liters weekly. Hwever, the research team views it as a wrkable and sustainable strategy. Gamberini cncluded n an ptimistic nte, stating that this apprach“may ffer a small blm f hpe in the desert” fr water-stressed cities.
32. What is the main purpse f the research?
A. T evaluate the daily utput f fg water cllectin.
B. T explre a ptential slutin t Chile's climate change.
C. T help address the water shrtage faced by desert cmmunities.
D. T imprve the efficiency f water transprtatin frm distant surces.
33. What is the direct cause f water stress in cities like Alt Hspici?
A. The lack f rainfall thrughut the year.
B. The veruse f grundwater by ther industries.
C. The failure f lcal water management plicies.
D. The high cst f transprting water frm distant surces.
34. What des the underlined wrd“impermeable” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Able t be mved easily.
B. Very expensive t prduce.
C. Capable f absrbing water quickly.
D. Nt allwing water t pass thrugh.
35. What is Gamberini's attitude twards the future f fg harvesting?
A. Realistic and psitive. B. Critical and dismissive.
C. Enthusiastic and ambitius. D. Uncertain and hesitant.

My brther's wedding brught us t Mexic City. It is a beautiful place with amazing fd, but it als has an alarming crime rate, including肾napping s(绑架) f turists. Befre arriving, my sister-in-law-t-be, wh lived there, relayed all the safety tips.
“Never get in a red-and-gld cab. Thse aren't licensed, and anyne can paint their car, abduct yu,steal yur mney, and make yu empty the ATM,” she said. Her smile didn't match the severity f the warning.
“Check. Avid red-and-gld cabs,”I replied.
On the day f the wedding, my husband and I were t be separated. My sister-in-law had arranged fr my mther and me t have ur hair and makeup dne in my htel rm. Once ur transfrmatin was cmplete,we'd head t the htel shuttle (班车) t take us safely t the wedding pictures at the venue, which was nly acrss the street.

We std utside ur htel awaiting transprt. In Mexic City, weddings are frmal affairs. We were wearing gwns(礼服), s the lcals knew there was a wedding.
A cach pulled up in frnt f us, and the htel staff seated us. All the ther rws were full f peple in gwns and suits. The ccupants were having heated cnversatins in Spanish.
I dn't speak Spanish.
We asked the driver if we were n the right transprt, and the answer was a nd. Hundreds f Spanish-speaking peple were ging t my brther's wedding. I had nly met five f them at that pint, and all f them were currently at the htel smiling fr the camera, s it was reasnable t assume the driver was crrect.
The van (客车) headed in the directin we were ging when I realized that everyne else had plans t attend the same wedding—— and it wasn't my brther's.
