17 is an age old enough for Shaun White to become the first person to win medals in both the Summer and Winter X Games, and for Chloe Kim to become the youngest woman to win an Olympic snowboarding gold medal. But for Chinese snowboarder Zhang Jiahao, who used to be a baker to support his training expenses, it was the age when he first took up snowboarding. Now 26, Zhang is fighting to stand on the Big Air ramp at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

“I wanted to do my best. For me, it's not about the results; it's all about the process.

Zhang had planned to go to South America for competitions in August 2021, but the COVID-19 pandemic, visa applications and other difficulties got in the way. But fortunately, the competition he had planned to attend was put off, and he was granted a last-minute entry permit. As Zhang finally hit the road, a 10-day snowfall ahead of the competition made the trail conditions better, allowing the competition to proceed as scheduled. Zhang won one gold and one bronze in the Big Air and Slopestyle events respectively（分别地）.

Zhang admitted, at the age of 26, that he was no longer at his best after many ups and downs. But even if there was only a one percent chance, he would fight for it.

Anne Hidalgo, an ecologically minded mayor, has earned admirers and enemies alike with a bold program to transform greater Paris into the world's leading environmentally- friendly metropolis（大都市）. She has made highways along the Seine car-free. Last year oversaw the creation of over 100 miles of new bike paths and she plans to limit cars in 2022 in the heart of the city as well. Parisians have heeded the call: A million people in a metropolis of 10 million are now cycling daily. And Paris now ranks among the world's top 10 cycling cities.

But with success has come major growing pains. Recently, the roads usually looked like this: cyclists blowing through red lights in two directions, delivery bike riders fixing eyes on their cellphones， electric scooters rushing across lanes，and nervous pedestrians（步行者）racing as if in a video game. It seemed that it＇s risky just to cross the street.

When asked how they thought of Anne's programme, “From an environmental point of view, we don't want to see the city go back to cars, ” Ms. Juratowitch said. “But it's not safe. It's as if bikes and passers-by don't know how to coexist. ” Saskia, 12, cut in. “It's not the bikes; it's the bikers, ” she said. “They think the rules apply to everyone except them. ”

However, Michael, a Copenhagen-based urban designer, may offer something practical. He advises cities on combining cycling with urban transport. “The basic traffic system of Paris is like spaghetti，” he said. “It＇s chaotic（混乱的），it doesn＇t connect up and there＇s no united network. If you can get that right, it will reduce a lot of confusion. "

23. Which can best replace the underlined word “heeded” in Paragraph 1?

A. Stressed.  B. Made.   C. Answered.   D. Returned.

24. What led to the Parisians' complaints?

A. The limit of not driving a car.

B. The danger of being injured for traffic disorder.

C. The time they have to spend on transportation.

D. The inconvenience brought by the programme.

25. What does Michael advise in order to solve the current situation?

A. Reducing the number of bikers.

B. Making more strict traffic laws.

C. Educating citizens to follow rules.

D. Joining cycle-ways to urban transport.

26. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To inform us that Paris is in a mess.

B. To request the bikers to obey traffic rules.

C. To introduce the green programme of Paris.

D. To draw our attention to the city construction.

D

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence （AI） system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The system is designed to help historians restore（修复）the writings and identify when and where they were written.

Many ancient populations used writings, also known as inscriptions, to document different parts of their lives. The inscriptions have been found on materials such as rock and metal. They often contained valuable information about how ancient people lived and how they structured their societies. But in many cases, the objects with such inscriptions have been damaged over the centuries. This left major parts of the inscriptions missing and difficult to identify and understand.

The new AI-based method serves as a technological tool to help researchers repair missing inscriptions and estimate（估计）the true origins of the records. The researchers， led by Alphabet's AI company DeepMind, call their tool Ithaca. In a statement, the researchers said the system is the first deep neural network（神经网络）that can restore the missing text of damaged inscriptions. A neural network is a machine learning computer system built to act like the human brain. The findings were recently reported in a study in the magazine Nature.

Researchers from other organizations, including the University of Oxford, also took part in the study. The team said it trained Ithaca on the largest collection of data containing Greek inscriptions. Feeding this data into the system is designed to help the tool use past writings to predict missing letters and words in damaged inscriptions. The researchers reported that in experiments with damaged writings, Ithaca was able to correctly predict missing inscription elements 62 percent of the time. Moreover, the tool was 71 percent correct in identifying where the inscriptions first came from. However, when historians work on their own, the success rate for restoring damaged inscriptions is about 25 percent.

27. What is true about the ancient writings?

A. They recorded the lives of ancestors.

B. They were discovered on soft materials.

C. They documented the ancient populations.

D. They formed the structures of ancient societies.

28. How does Ithaca help with the repairing work?

A. By connecting a human brain.

B. By operating a network system.

C. By directing a technological tool.

D. By identifying the ancient objects.

29. What is the advantage of Ithaca?

A. It can take the place of historians.

B. It can supply the team with mass data.

C. It can fully identify the inscriptions.

D. It improves the success rate of the work.

30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. AI Helps Repair Ancient Writings

B. A Trend in the AI-based Method

C. A Breakthrough in AI Technology

D. Ancient Writings Are of Great Value
