One f the advantages f scial media is that we get t see aspects f peple’s lives that can be rather surprising. In fact, sme f the vides that get shared remind us f the many hidden— and nt-s-hidden — talents that are ut there.
Recently a vide was shared f a cnstructin wrker taking a break and treating his c-wrkers t a beautiful musical interlude (插曲) in their busy day. Archive Guld, a painter wrking fr a specialized painting cmpany in Edmntn, was carrying ut a jb in frnt f a library. Lking in the windw, ne f his wrkmates nticed there was a public pian inside.
Guld explained t CTV News that his wrkmates were aware that he’d played the pian fr years, but he’d never been able t shwcase his talents. Therefre n the first day n site, Guld sat dwn in his paint-stained wrk clthes t play fr his wrkmates.
“It was s heart melting. I lve classical music t begin with. Seeing him playing exceptinally well, I was ttally tuched,” his wrk mate, Kerrie Bates, shared her reactin t Guld’s perfrmance. As fr Guld, he was als delighted t have the pprtunity t shw his wrkmates that he was indeed able t play the pian.
The perfrmance was shared nline, where it ntched up an impressive number f views. And Guld came up with why he thught the vide had becme s ppular, “I think half the reasn that the vide blew up is that I lk like a cnstructin wrker. N ne expects a cnstructin wrker t just demnstrate sme classical music like it’s nthing.”
Hwever, his perfrmance is nt just a lessn in lking beynd a persn’s utward appearance, It als reminds us that we shuld develp ur talents gradually and enjy them as and when we can, While we might nt all be able t becme prfessinal pianists r singers, there’s s much jy t be had in having a passin and sharing it with thers.

When visiting a dctr in the future, yu can expect t be accmpanied by a virtual versin f yurself. This s-called digital twin will be a wrking mdel f yur bdy that can be shwn nt a physician’s cmputer screen. Updated with yur latest vital signs, it will help the dctr make an accurate diagnsis (诊断) and prvide persnalized treatments fr the patients.
N matter hw unreal this might seem, the researchers at Queen Mary University f Lndn (QMUL) already use cmputer simulatins (模拟) f the hearts f patients t test different treatments fr a heart disrder. It wuld be far t dangerus t experiment this way n smene’s real heart.
Digital twins are starting t be seen everywhere. They can nt nly mnitr the health f jet engines n airliners, but als help carmakers spend fewer years n the develpment f new mdels by simulating test drives and crashes. All this is being pwered by recent prgress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability t make predictins abut their physical cunterparts (对应的事物), and adjust themselves based n new infrmatin..
Digital twins make it easier fr humans t slve challenging prblems, allwing peple t have a lk int the future. Fr businesses, this shuld mean better designs and peratins. Fr sciety, the prmise is als fascinating: persnalized health care, and ways t prevent the earth frm envirnmental disasters.
Culd these virtual twins g ut f cntrl? They might if they are prgrammed badly, r hacked int. Digital twins will take in muntains f data, sme f it wrng and much f it raising cncerns abut privacy. Yet thse risks are a natural part f technlgical prgress. The appearance f the digital mirrr wrld will raise new questins, but its ptential benefits are already easy t see.
28. Which f the fllwing best describes a digital twin?
A. A virtual versin. B. A vide game.
C. A ty mdel.D. A medical database.
29. Why d researchers at QMUL use cmputer simulatins f hearts?
A. T reduce the time f the heart peratin.
B. T use real hearts much mre cnveniently.
C. T help increase the patients’ recvery rates.
D. T avid the danger f experimenting n real hearts.
30. Hw des AI cntribute t the develpment f digital twins?
A. It increases the efficiency f simulatins thrugh data analysis.
B. It creates accurate digital cpies fr medical and industrial use.
C. It enables digital twins t predict results and adapt n their wn.
D. It imprves virtual mdels by adding real-time mnitring features.
31. Which f the fllwing is the mst suitable title fr the passage?
A. Digital Twins: A Ptential Threat t Privacy
B. Digital Twins: The Future f Prblem-Slving
C. Digital Twins: A New Age f Medical Treatment
D. Digital Twins: A Duble-Edged Swrd f Technlgy

Blue Planet II’s latest episde（一集） fcuses n hw plastic is having a disastrus effect n the cean and slwly pisning ur sea creatures. Researchers recently als fund that sea creatures living in the deepest place n Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stmachs. Indeed, the ceans are drwning in plastic.
Thugh it seems nw that the wrld culdn’t pssibly functin withut plastics, cnsumer plastics are a remarkably recent inventin. The first plastic bags were intrduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in ppularity in the United States. This grwth has happened s fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pllutin research, fr instance, is still a very early science.
We put all these plastics int the envirnment and we still dn’t really knw what the utcmes are ging t be. What we d knw, thugh, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated t kill millins f marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered nes, are knwn t have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which ften mistake plastic bags fr jellyfish, have been fund with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent f seabirds are nw eating plastics n a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected t rise t 100 percent.
And it’s nt just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in ur seas. Humans are cnsuming plastics thrugh the seafd we eat. I culd understand why sme peple see cean plastic as a disaster, wrth mentining t the same degree as climate change. But cean plastic is nt as cmplicated as climate change. There are n cean trash deniers (否认者), at least s far. T d smething abut it, we dn’t have t remake ur planet energy system.
This is nt a prblem where we dn’t knw what the slutin is. We knw hw t pick up garbage. Anyne can d it. We knw hw t dispse (处理) f it. We knw hw t recycle. We can all start by thinking twice befre we use single — use plastic prducts. Things that may seem rdinary, like using a reusable bttle r a reusable bag — when taken cllectively, these chices really d make a difference.
32. What’s the functin f the authr mentining Blue Planet II’s latest episde in the first paragraph?
A. It serves as a cmment.B. It serves as a lead-in.
C. It serves as a backgrund.D. It serves as a cnclusin.
33. Why is plastics pllutin research still a very early science?
A. Plastics have gained in ppularity t fast fr science t catch up.
B. Plastics have prduced less pllutin than cal.
C. The wrld culdn’t pssibly functin withut plastics.
D. The plastics pllutin research is t difficult.
34. Hw did the authr supprt his pinin in Paragraph 3?
A. By using examples frm his wn experience.
B. By qutatins frm leading experts.
C. By figures.
D. By cmparisn and cntrast.
35. What is the main idea f this passage?
A. Ocean plastic is a glbal issue.
B. Plastics gain in ppularity all ver the wrld.
C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbrken.
D. The ceans becme threatened with plastic.
