Composer George Lam has always liked writing music inspired by places.

“There are all these places in Chinatown that are both hidden and meaningful,”  he says, stepping out of the way of passers-by while leading a tour of the neighborhood. “To uncover some of those hidden things in a city walk that you might not ordinarily notice-I wondered, is there a piece in that?”

It turns out that there's not just a piece, but a whole app. Lam interviewed five Chinese Americans from around the country, asking them about their experiences in Chinatown, plus questions about their ancestors, their families and their memories. He then set the answers to music, the instruments drawing attention to each person's distinct pattern of speech.

Lam created the app Family Association. He calls the piece-the free app-Family Asso-ciation, after the important folk groups that line the streets of the neighborhood.Chinese family associations have been a bridge between new immigrants and more established ones since the late 1800s.In Chinatowns across the country, they're a place to find resources or an apartment, talk business or politics,maybe get a COVID shot. But they're also a place to socialize with people who share similar experiences.

Five of the neighborhood＇s associations are anchors （锚点）for the app.Visitors use the build-in map to see locations of the associations.As they walk closer to one of the family asso-ciation buildings, the focus is on one of the five oral history participants, telling their stories. These stories aren't about the family associations; instead they're about the Chinese-American experience and how they've felt supported by Chinatown.

But Lam thinks of the app itself as a kind of virtual family association, connecting these Chinese-American voices with each other, even if they've never met.And he hopes to connect with visitors,too-at the end of the soundwalk, users are given a chance to record their own memories.

24.How did Lam deal with the interviewees' answers?

A.By setting them apart.

B.By adding music to them.

C.By organizing them in order.

D.By spreading them nationwide.

25.What can we know from paragraph 4?

A.Chinatown plays a vital role in Chinese Americans.

B.Lam named his app after the street of the neighbourhood.

C.Chinese family associations have been a bridge of immigrants since 1800.

D.All Chinese Americans lived in Chinatowns when firstly reaching America.

26.What are the participants' stories about?

A.When they came to Chinatowns.

B.Why they chose to stay in Chinatowns.

C.How they've felt supported from China.

D.What they experienced as Chinese Americans.

27.What is Lam's expectation?

A.To contact with visitors.

B.To promote his new app.

C.To record his own memories.

D.To connect with Chinese Americans.

When robots appear to engage with people and display human-like emotions, people may think of them as capable of “thinking”,or acting on their own beliefs and desires rather than their programs,according to the research published by the American Psychological Association.

"The relationship between human-like shape, human-like behavior and the tendency to owe independent thought and intentional behavior to robots is yet to be understood,” said study author Agnieszka Wykowska, PhD, a principal investigator at the Italian Institute of Technology.  “As artificial intelligence increasingly becomes a part of our lives, it is important to understand how interacting with a robot that displays human-like behaviors might cause higher likelihood of attribution of intentional agency to the robot.”

Across three experiments involving 119 participants, researchers examined how individuals  would see a human-like robot,the iCub, after socializing with it and watching videos together.  Before and after interacting with the robot, participants completed a questionnaire that showed them pictures of the robot in different situations and asked them to choose whether the robot's motivation in each situation was mechanical or intentional.

The researchers found that participants who watched videos with the human-like robot were more likely to rate the robot's actions as intentional, rather than programmed, while those who only interacted with the machine-like robot were not. This shows that mere exposure to a human-like robot is not enough to make people believe it is capable of thoughts and emotions.  It is human-like behavior that might be crucial for being deemed as an intentional agent.

According to Wykowska,  these findings show that people might be more likely to believe artificial intelligence is capable of independent thought when it creates the impression that it can behave just like humans. “This could inform the design of social robots of the future,”  she said.

28.What were participants asked to do in the experiment?

A.Behave like a robot.

B.Complete a questionnaire.

C.Show pictures of the robot.

D.Watch the behavior of the iCub.

29.What does the underlined word “deemed” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Performed.

B.Persuaded.

C.Believed.

D.Advocated.

30.What could the findings be applied to?

A.Addressing some technique problems.

B.Creating social robots just like humans.

C.Developing artificial intelligence industry.

D.Guiding the design of future social robots.

31.What would be a suitable title for the text?

A.Human-like robots can interact with humans

B.Human-like robots can behave just like humans

C.Human-like robots may be thought to have mental states

D.Artificial intelligence has become part of our everyday life

A method to transform a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin（树脂）used in 3D printing could allow for making better use of plastic waste. A team of Washington State University researchers developed a simple and efficient way to transform polylactic acid(PLA) （聚乳酸），a bio-based plastic used in products such as filament， plastic silverware and food packaging to a high-quality resin.

“We found a way to immediately turn this into something that's stronger and better, and we hope that will provide people with the inspiration to upcycle this stuff instead of just thro-wing it away,” said Yu-Chung Chang, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering and a co-corresponding author on the work. “We made stronger materials just straight out of trash. We believe this could be a great opportunity.”

Although it's bio-based, PLA,  which is categorized as a number 7 plastic it can float in fresh or salt water for a year without breaking down. It is also rarely recycled because like many plastics, when it's melted down and re-formed, it doesn't perform as well as the original version and becomes less valuable.

“It's biodegradable and compostable, but once you look into it, it turns out that it can take up to 100 years for it to rot away in a landfill,” Chang said. “In reality, it still creates a lot of pollution. We want to make sure that when we do start producing PLA on the million-tons scale, we will know how to deal with it.”

While the researchers focused on PLA for the study, they hope to apply the work to poly-ethylene terephthalate（PET）（涤纶树脂），which is more common than PLA and has a similar chemical structure and presents a bigger waste problem. They have filed a temporary patent and are working to further improve the process. The researchers are also looking into other applications for the upcycling method.

32. What can the method help do according to paragraph 1?

A.Solve financial crisis.

B.Change waste into wealth.

C.Control plastic production.

D.Determine 3D printing skills.

33.What does Yu-Chung Chang think of the method?

A.Promising.

B.Imaginable.

C.Unrealistic.

D.Common.

34. Which of the following is a feature of number 7 plastics?

A.They are invaluable to recycle.

C.They are hard to break down.

B.They are easy to deal with.

D.They are difficult to sort out.

35.What is the text mainly about?

A.Applications of an upcycling method.

B.3D printing with newly found materials.

C. A new way to turn plastic into valuable products.

D.Some better methods to break down different plastics.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

In today's competitive world, the emphasis in athletics is so often put on breaking records. A runner's belief; “I will win; if I cannot win, I shall do my best.” Those inspirational words, and others like it, fuel the soul of the long distance runners. Competing not only with one another, they hope to achieve their own “personal best”.

For one teen Brandon Schutt, a student in Omaha Burke Hligh  School, had been looking forward to his final cross-country race before graduating from high school. He was determined to finish the race with a respectable enough time to qualify for the upcoming state meet. Like him, all other runners were accumulating strength for a take-off.

One runner, Blake Cerveny, whose record was the fastest, tried to beat his own best. After a fast start, he continued to push himself to the limit. If he could hold on tohis lead, there was no doubt that he would win. However, with less than 400 meters to go, Cerveny's legs cramped up（抽筋）and failed him. Resolve to finish， Cerveny rose up from the ground and continued on his way, only to fall again. His legs had simply given out. Seconds later, he lay on the ground, discouraged and disappointed. Other runners surpassed Cerveny without stopping. His will to go on faded from his body gradually.

A few moments later, Brandon, running at a very aggressive speed, drew near Cerveny. He had actually been in the same position three weeks prior when he wasn't able to complete a race. He felt awful about not finishing. He had trained so hard for this final race at high school to hopefully qualify for the state meet. So this time, he had made up his mind to prove himself under no circumstances.
