However, these languages didn't seem to match with me. I couldn't really find passion in studying them, ” she said. “A friend of mine took Korean classes when she attended college, and hearing her stories about studying Korean was the main motivation for me to start. ”After high school, Foland took a gap year before continuing her education. She came to College of DuPage because her mother talked about how much she loved it. When she visited the campus, she was attracted by the Korean language program.Finally, Foland connected with another language. She enjoyed it so much that she entered the Midwest Korean Speech Contest, encouraged by her instructor, Miran Lee. “Thanks to Mr. Lee, by the day of the contest I had gained so much confidence. I couldn't believe it when they announced me as the winner. ”Foland received a scholarship to attend the Sungkyunkwan University Korean Language Center in Seoul. She attended classes taught entirely in Korean and found the intensive study a perfect opportunity to improve her skills.“I was the only Western student in my class. Most of my friends couldn't speak English, so we had to communicate only through Korean. I feel like this was a huge reason why my Korean skills improved. I think I've even improved in expressing myself in English. I've gained a lot more confidence when interacting with others and I realized how much I like harmonizing with people. I also realized how much interest I have in people different from me, because there's truly so much to learn from them. ”For anyone interested in studying languages, Foland said, “Don't hesitate. Language programs are an excellent way to start your journey and familiarize yourself with your chosen language. ”24. What motivated Foland to start learning KoreanA．Her mother's impact on him.

D．She would have more choices.27. What's Foland's suggestion for language loversA．Engage in learning via language programs. B．Travel abroad and learn by experience.C．Avoid self-studying a foreign language. D．Take a gap year to learn a new language.CDecades ago, space travel was strictly controlled by government space agencies. Missions were purely for scientific research or national honor with ordinary citizens not allowed to dream of such a journey.At present, space tourism remains in its early days. Far-sighted enterprises have made space travel more accessible. Recent orbital and suborbital flights have proven the viability of commercial space travel. Yet, the high expenses involved mean that only the wealthy and major sponsors can currently afford it. Some companies offer short space flights for a taste of weightlessness and breathtaking views of Earth, while others are trying lunar flybys, paving the way for broader public participation in the future.In the upcoming ten years, with more participants entering the space tourism market, prices are likely to drop, making space travel available to a wider audience. Collaborations may provide opportunities for ordinary people to experience space. Trips could extend beyond short-term flights, with the Moon becoming a popular destination and Mars potentially within reach as technology advances. Customized experiences, such as space science tours or luxury space stays, will probably be offered. People also expect the space tourism to integrate with the entertainment industry, perhaps featuring space concerts.But the industry faces significant obstacles. High costs act as a barrier to widespread participation. Rocket launches contribute to environmental pollution, and regulatory frameworks are still being developed. Additionally, passengers face health risks. Despite these difficulties, space tourism has the potential to inspire future generations and drive technological innovation, serving as a stepping-stone for further space exploration. Addressing cost, safety, and environmental issues is crucial for its long-term success.28. What does the underlined word “viability” in paragraph 2 probably meanA．Possibility. B．Necessity. C．Value. D．Risk.29. What is the current state of space tourismA．It has a broad public participation.B．It is sponsored by high-tech companies.C．It is primarily used in science research.D．It is in the initial stage of development.30. What trend of space tourism is expected according to the textA．Guaranteed safety. B．Government support.C．Diverse experiences. D．Proper management.31. What is the writing purpose of the textA．To advertise space tourism.B．To advocate space science education.C．To show the limitation of space tourism.D．To introduce the development of space tourism.DAI models lack human senses like smell and touch, limiting their understanding of concepts such as flowers or humor. While advanced models show impressive language skills, their understanding nevertheless differs fundamentally from humans due to missing sensory experiences.Researchers at the Ohio State University compared humans and AI models in understanding nearly 4,500 words. Both groups rated each word for a variety of aspects, such as the level of emotional arousal (唤醒) they bring to mind, or their links to senses and physical interaction with different parts of the body. It turns out that people and AI have a similar conceptual map of words that don't relate to interactions with the outside world, but differ greatly when words are linked to senses and physical actions.The problem lies in AI models’ text-only training. Models trained on both images and text showed closer consistency with human responses. As researchers note: “Multi-modal training brings greater benefits than expected.” This suggests future AI models may need a robot body to gain such experience.Philip Feldman at the University of Maryland says that giving AI models a robot body and exposing them to sensorimotor (感觉运动的) input would probably result in a jump in ability, but that we will have to be very careful about how this is done, given the risk of robots causing physical harm to people around them.Avoiding such risks would mean adding limits to robot actions, or only using soft robots that can cause no harm for training, says Feldman — but that would have its own downsides.“This is going to mess up their view of the world,” says Feldman. “One of the things they would learn is that you can bounce off (弹开) things, because they have little mass. Put such deep understanding that has to do with physical contact in a real robot with mass and you would have robots believing that they could just crash into each other at full speed.”32. What does the first paragraph mainly tell usA．Sensory gaps limit AI models’ understanding.B．Sensory training expands AI models’ capabilities.C．AI models fail to understand complex human ideas.D．AI models are better than humans at language skills.33. How did researchers compare humans and AI models in the studyA．By assessing their vocabulary.B．By comparing their writing styles.C．By testing their performance in a game.D．By contrasting their interpretation of words.34. What can be inferred about equipping AI models with a robot bodyA．It decreases their potential risks.B．It boosts their learning competence.C．It improves their ability to innovate.D．It increases their chances of self-recovery.35. What is Feldman mainly worried about regarding robotsA．They may not move fast enough. B．They will lack basic emotions.C．They might misjudge their strength. D．They could fail to follow orders.三、七选五For those new to a role or industry, adapting to the workplace environment can feel challenging.

We planned to look for its owner the next day.The next day my family and I looked for the dog's owner. It was so hard to find its owner. We were looking for flyers(传单) that involved the puppy, but no luck. We wouldn't have given up because it's a puppy and it needs its owner.“We won't stop looking for its owner, ” my mom and dad said to me. “And we are going to take care of the puppy until we find its owner. ”Then we went to a pet shop to buy the puppy some dog food. After that we went back home to feed the puppy the dog food that we had just bought. It was so dirty that the fur was black and sticky. So we gave it a nice bath. After we gave it a bath, it turned pure white. And I noticed there was a collar(狗项圈) on him, which said “Coby”. We decided to look for the puppy's owner immediately. My mom stayed at home, and it was only my dad and me this time.We continued looking for more information until we found a flyer about it.
