My mther always tld me, “Yu shuld explre yur wn cuntry befre stepping ut int the wrld.” Hwever, it seems like a tugh missin t travel all acrss its expansive surfaces. But luckily fr me, Via Rail Canada ffered yuths between the ages f 18 and 25 the chance t ride the train acrss Canada fr the mnth f July. The ticket was a bargain $150. My best friends Trevr, Jel and Jeremy and I immediately jumped at the pprtunity and secured fur tickets n the great Canadian railrad.
Fr a grup f 20-year-lds, this was like the first flight f yung birds frm the nest. When we apprached the train statin in the mrning, ur 22-day adventure frm Sudbury t Vancuver was t begin. Eyes baggy frm lack f sleep, we jumped n bard as if it was the train t Hgwarts in Harry Ptter. Althugh the thught f three full days n thse tracks cvering clse t 3, 000 kilmetres crushed ur spirits a little, what happened next caught us by surprise.
The three days n bard turned int a summer camp n rails. At night, we wuld climb up the glass-dmed train car, which gave us a scenic view f the starry night sky, untuched by the harmful light pllutin. Befre we knew it, the warm sun rays beating dwn n ur faces wke us up fr anther day n the rails. T my surprise, a sea f glden grain fields dminated the landscape we were in the Canadian Prairies.
Anther day slipped away and we set up fr anther night in the dme (圆顶状物). And this time we were greeted by night sky painted by a fantastic thunderstrm. Lightning was striking at an incredible rate. The spectacular and memrable light shw left everyne in the glass bubble in cmplete disbelief.
Arriving in the Rcky Muntains was ne f the mst surreal experiences f my life. Befre the train adventure, if I culd have skipped the travel and arrived at the destinatin, I wuld have. That is n lnger true. I’ve learned that the jurney can be mre enjyable than the destinatin.

Tday, petry and science are ften cnsidered t be mutually exclusive(互相排斥)career paths. But that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lvelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were bth accmplished pets. The pet Jhn Keats was a licensed surgen. Cmbining the tw practices fell ut f favr in the 1800s. But translating research int lyrics, haiku, and ther petic frms is resurging(再现)amng scientists as they lk fr alternative ways t inspire thers with their findings.
“Petry is a great tl fr questining the wrld,” says Sam Illingwrth, a pet and a gescientist wh wrks at the University f Western Australia. Thrugh wrkshps and a new science-petry jurnal, called Cnsilience, Illingwrth is helping scientists t translate their latest results int pems that can attract appreciatin frm thse utside f their immediate scientific field.
Stephany Mazn, a scientist frm the University f Helsinki in Finland, jined ne f Illingwrth’s wrkshps. In the wrkshp, she was gruped with ther scientists and tasked with writing a haiku, a 17-syllable-lng pem, which sptlighted water, a fluid that featured in all f the grup members’ research prjects. “It was a lt f fun, and surprisingly easy t write the pem,” Mazn says. She plans t cntinue writing. “We d a disservice(伤害)t urselves t think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used t cmmunicate scientific ideas,” Mazn says.
That viewpint is eched by Illingwrth, wh thinks science cmmunicatin initiatives are t ften dminated by public lectures with their hands-ff PwerPint slides. “Actually, when science cmmunicatin invlves writing and sharing pems, it invites a tw-way dialgue between experts and nnexperts,” he says. Scientist-pet Manjula Silva, an educatr at Imperial Cllege Lndn, agrees. Petry prvides a way t translate cmplex scientific cncepts int a language that everyne can understand, Silva says.
Scientists and pets are bth trying t understand the wrld and cmmunicate that understanding with thers. The distinctin between scientists and pets is less than peple might think. We’re all just peple with hpefully really interesting things t say and t share.
28．What is the purpse f mentining the celebrities in paragraph 1?
A．T display they were talented.
B．T cnfirm they were ut f favr.
C．T encurage different career paths.
D．T shw petry and science can be cmbined.
29．What are Illingwrth’s wrkshps aimed t d?
A．Prmte a new science-petry jurnal.
B．Inspire utsiders t pursue their careers in science.
C．Encurage science cmmunicatin thrugh pems.
D．Get scientists t exchange ideas abut the latest research.
30．What des Illingwrth think f the dminant ways f science cmmunicatin?
A．Cnventinal.B．Effective.C．Innvative.D．Cmplex.
31．Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A．Scientists Take n Petry
B．Scientists and Pets Think Alike
C．Petry: A Great Tl t Questin the Wrld
D．Science Cmmunicatin: A Tw-way Dialgue
Given hw valuable intelligence and autmatin are, we will cntinue t imprve ur technlgy if we are at all able t. At a certain pint, we will build machines that are smarter than we are. Once we have machines that are smarter than we are, they will begin t imprve themselves. The cncern is really that we will build machines that are much mre cmpetent than we are. And the slightest divergence (分歧) between their gals and ur wn culd destry us.
Just think abut hw we relate t ants. We dn’t hate them. We dn’t g ut f ur way t harm them. In fact, smetimes we take pains nt t harm them. We step ver them n the sidewalk. But whenever their presence seriusly cnflicts with ne f ur gals, we will kill them withut hesitatin. The cncern is that we will ne day build machines that, whether they’re cnscius r nt, culd treat us with similar disregard.
The bare fact is that we will cntinue t imprve ur intelligent machines. We have prblems that we desperately need t slve. S we will d this, if we can. The train is already ut f the statin, and there’ n brake t pull. If we build machines that are mre intelligent than we are, they will very likely develp in ways that we can’t imagine, and transcend us in ways that we can’t imagine.
S imagine we hit upn a design f super intelligent AI that has n safety cncerns. This machine wuld be the perfect labr-saving device. It can design the machine that can build the machine which can d any physical wrk, pwered by sunlight, mre r less fr the cst f raw materials. S we’re talking abut the end f human labur. We’re als talking abut the end f mst intellectual wrk. S what wuld apes like urselves d in these circumstances?
But the mment we admit that infrmatin prcessing is the surce f intelligence, we have t admit that we are in the prcess f building sme srt f gd. Nw wuld be a gd time t make sure it’s a gd we can live with.
32．Why des the authr mentin ants in Paragraph 2?
A．T indicate future intelligent machines culd treat us withut mercy.
B．T shw imprved machines will escape frm us.
C．T stress the presence f machines des cnflict with ur gals.
D．T cmpare intelligent machines t ants.

C．Tmrrw is anther day.D．Sht arrws will nt cme back.
34．Hw is the passage mainly develped?
A．By giving assumptins.B．By making cmparisns.
C．By shwing evidence.D．By analyzing statistics.
35．Which f the fllwing statements can best summarize the authr’s viewpint twards AI?
A．Human beings will n dubt be destryed by AI in the future.
B．Super intelligent AI will put an end t human labur eventually.
C．We shuld keep the develpment f AI within human’s cntrl.
D．Human beings shuld stp the develpment f super intelligent AI.
五、七选五
There have been several incidents in recent years where peple died because f unsafe crwd cnditins and stampedes (人群的蜂拥), the latest ne unflding in Seul, Suth Krea, with at least 155 deaths reprted. This may leave sme peple thinking there’s little yu can d t survive a stampede. 36 But crwd-safety experts say there are several strategies that culd help yu avid a ptentially deadly utcme. Cnsider these steps belw:
The key t staying safe in a crwd begins as sn as yu arrive at the lcatin, says Randy Atlas, a safety cnsultant based in Frt Lauderdale. 37 It’s a piece f cmmn sense advice that Atlas applies nt just at big events, but even when entering almst any rm.
If there’s a sudden panic and crwds begin t push in a certain directin, yur instinct (本能) may be t fight back and push the ppsite way. 38 If yu g against the flw, yu increase yur chances f getting tripped and kncked dwn. Anther risk, accrding t experts: If yu fight the crwd, yu will tire yurself ut quickly in a situatin where energy is needed.
As yu mve frward with the crwd, it’s best t mve in a diagnal (对角线的) directin s yu can ptentially angle yur way ut f the situatin. The gal is t get t the edge f the stampede where it’s less likely that yu’ll end up stuck at a chke-pint, like a drway.
39 Lk fr a slid structure t stand behind such as a pillar r a wall. Other places t duck: behind a car r even a lamp pst.
In many stampede events, peple die simply because they are crushed t the pint they can’t breathe. But a pssible way t avid this is t place yur arms in frnt f yu, almst in a bxer-like psitin. That culd give yu sme very valuable breathing rm, literally. 40
A．T shelter yurself is, indeed, anther ptential way.
B．But that culd be a big mistake, Atlas warns.
C．In this case, yu dn’t necessarily have t wait and let time slip by.
D．Namely, t take nte f where the nearest exits are.
E．It’s simple, but surprisingly effective and pssibly life-saving.
F．Furthermre, events like Hallween gathering, are likely t turn deadly.
G．Indeed, it’s a frightening situatin and circumstances may make it impssible t escape.
