Fergal Keane is a well-knwn BBC war reprter. His reprting helped his televisin audiences make sense f the hrrrs f war, but underneath there were mre persnal scars attracting him t the frntline.

Mst f Texas has recently brken a heat-related recrd in ne way r anther. Dallas reached a recrd high f 110 degrees Fahrenheit amid weeks f cntinuing 100 r near 100 degrees days. S did Austin with mre than 100 degrees and Hustn 109 degrees.
Heat and drught are slw disasters, nes we dn’t jump t respnd t, like we d fr a hurricane r a trnad. But the destructin is piecemeal—a buckled rad here, a brken water main there, water tables that aren’t filling as fast as we drain them. Wrse still, we tend t underestimate its damage t ur health, infrastructure, water, husing and ther basics we need t survive.
While heat is nrmal in Texas, what it des shuldn’t be nrmalized. We’ve been asked t reduce ur electrical use and ur water use. We’re rightfully fined if ur sprinklers（喷洒器） run n the wrng days. When my handyman texts me, asking t pstpne wrk arund my huse because his day jb is utside and he is literally burned ut, I see hw life at this temperature is stressful, harmful and terrifying.
Is there plitical will arund heat? Jesse Keenan, wh studies climate change and infrastructure at Tulane University, tld me yes. And n. Sme f the fixes are alarmingly simple, like painting buildings white r making rads lighter when we rebuild them s they reflect heat. But thers, like updating water lines, are expensive and time-cnsuming, he explained. And csts fr things like water are ging t skyrcket sn. Infrastructure desn’t energize the electrate（全体选民）, he added. But if Texas is ging t be livable fr ur kids and grandkids, and if the suthern half f the U.S. in general is ging t survive, infrastructure is ging t have t becme Real Husewives–level gripping.
28. Which f the fllwing wrds can best describe heat?
A. Slw and preventable
B. Destructive and underestimated.
C. Nticeable and intensive.
D. Slw and widespread.
29. Why des the authr say “what it des shuldn’t be nrmalized”?
A. We have been asked t reduce electrical use and water use because f heat.
B. My handyman texts me t pstpne wrk because he is almst burned ut.
C. The heat has brken recrds and certainly it was nt a nrmal phenmenn.
D. The heat has caused extreme stress and terrifying harm t peple’s life.
30. What is mst likely the authr’s attitude tward the heat in Texas?
A. cncerned B. hpeful C. deired D. indifferent
31. Which f the fllwing statements is NOT true accrding t the passage?
A. Painting buildings white helps slve the prblem f heat by reflecting heat.
B. It is necessary t imprve infrastructure fr the sake f generatins t cme.
C. The gvernment is willing t take whatever it csts t deal with heat.
D. Jesse thinks the gvernment needs t place mre emphasis n infrastructure.

While sme bservers wrry abut ptential dangers in AI, thers are fcusing n the ptential rewards and believe that AI can turbcharge science and lead t a glden age f discvery.
Such claims are wrth examining. The mechanism by which AI will suppsedly slve the wrld’s prblems has a strng histrical basis because there have been perids when new appraches and new tls did indeed help bring abut wrld-changing scientific innvatin. In the 1700s micrscpes and telescpes pened up new visin f discvery and scientific jurnals helped share and publicise researchers’ findings. In the late 1900s, research labratries that brught tgether ideas, peple and materials n an industrial scale, gave rise t further innvatins, such as the transistr. Frm the 1950s, cmputers made the design f weapns and aircraft and weather frecasting a reality. Tday AI is being emplyed in new ways such as identifying new antibitics(抗生素) and sptting reginal accents in wlves.
All this is t be welcmed. But the jurnal and the labratry went further: they altered scientific practice and unlcked mre pwerful means f making discveries, by allwing peple and ideas t mingle in new ways n a larger scale. AI, t, has the ptential t set ff such a transfrmatin.
Tw areas in particular lk prmising. The first is “literature-based discvery” (LBD), which invlves analysing existing scientific literature, using ChatGPT-style language analysis, t lk fr new hyptheses, cnnectins r ideas that humans may have missed. LBD is shwing prmise in identifying new experiments t try. This culd stimulate interdisciplinary wrk and fster innvatin.
The secnd area is “rbt scientists”, als knwn as “self-driving labs”. These are rbtic systems that use AI t frm new hyptheses, based n existing data and literature, and then test thse hyptheses by perfrming cuntless experiments. Unlike human scientists, rbts are less attached t previus results, less driven by bias—and, crucially, easy t replicate. They culd scale up experimental research, develp unexpected theries and explre avenues that researchers might nt have cnsidered.
32. What is the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
A. The reasn why AI is likely t revlutinize science.
B. The wide spread f AI in tday’s wrld
C. Hw AI has develped thrughut the histry
D. The imprtance f AI in scientific revlutin
33. Accrding t the passage, hw can AI start a revlutin in science?
A. by analyzing existing data and literature
B. by frming new hyptheses
C. by develping unexpected theries
D. by cmbining peple and ideas
34. What is the advantage f AI ver human scientists?
A. AI can perfrm hundreds f thusands f experiments.
B. AI is mre likely t make new discveries.
C. AI is mre independent and is easy t replicate.
D. AI takes many mre methds int cnsideratin.
35. Which f the fllwing is the title fr the passage?
A. Hw Artificial Intelligence can revlutinize science
B. What Artificial Intelligence has brught t ur mdern sciety
C. Whether it is pssible fr Artificial Intelligence t change science
D. Why unexpected innvatin results frm Artificial Intelligence

Anxiety is ften viewed as a negative feeling but this emtin can be used t help us manage uncertainty, stay safe and prepared.
A grwing number f psychlgists and neurscientists are arguing that anxiety and ther negative feelings have a rle t play in ur lives. Psychlgist Tdd Kashdan, directr f the Well-Being Lab at Gerge Masn University, ntes that smetimes it’s right t wrry. 36
Anxiety is an adaptive strategy in human evlutin. 37 Anxiety prmpts us t seek slutins t unknwns by planning, imagining and pltting ut pssible scenaris. Frm an evlutinary pint f view, anxiety is the best emtin t help us manage uncertainty because it frces us t run thse ‘what-if' simulatins.
38 But if we simply apprach anxiety as smething t avid, we nt nly dn’t slve the prblem it’s warning us t, but actually miss an pprtunity t leverage（利用） the generative pwer f anxiety. When we’re in an anxius state, the amunt f dpamine in ur brains increases, which prmpts us t take actin. In evlutinary terms, millins f years ag that might have meant lking fr shelter t evade predatry animals. 39
Interestingly enugh, thanks t the emtin we d nt miss an pprtunity t get things prepared. 40 Case in pint: hiding unpened envelpes frm the HMRC in a drawer—even if they culd be just the rutine updates that sme self-emplyed peple receive—culd result in missing a changed deadline.
A. It helps us t prepare fr the uncertain future.
B. We have every reasn t be cautius and aware f the harm anxiety brings.
C. Anxiety cntinually pushes us t take respnsibility and cmplete must-d tasks.
D. Hwever, by nt facing ur anxiety, we lse its benefits, and can make things wrse.
E. Fr example, the fear f heights keeps us frm falling ff a cliff while taking a selfie.
F. Neurscientist Wendy Suzuki believes that anxiety actually serves us by sending ut a warning.
G.Tday, it might mean leaving a jb because f a predatry bss.

It was arund 7 p. m. n ne f the httest days f the summer. I'd just pured myself a tall glass f lemnade when my phne rang. "Mm, yu have t cme," said my 14-year-ld daughter, Alliana. “I fund a hurt bunny n the rad.”
What a cincidence! When I was eight, I fund a baby rabbit t—utside ur Brnx apartment building. A rabbit is ne f the least likely things yu'd find in the Brnx and my sister and I marveled at ur gd frtune. My parents scped the rabbit int the car and we sped ff t the Z, prud t have fund him a gd hme. Nw Alliana had stumbled acrss a bunny, and I figured that rescuing rabbits was sme srt f a rite f passage（成人礼）. Except my bunny had been healthy; Alliana's had tw seriusly brken hind legs.
"I'm srry, hney, but there's nt much we can d," I said as I std in the middle f the rad redirecting traffic arund the rabbit. On the sidewalk, tired and verheated neighbrs heading hme frm the train statin didn't seem eager t stp t think ver rescue ptins.
I called my husband, Martin, wh tk the Darwinian view. "Tell Alliana it's the circle f life," he said, nt unkindly. "Sme animals aren't meant t survive." Still, Alliana std firm, s I called the plice, wh tld me t call the humane sciety—which gave me a number fr a wildlife htline. "Whatever yu d, dn’t leave the bunny utside vernight-the raccns (浣熊) will rip ff his skin and eat him alive." As the wman at the htline said that, Alliana burst int tears.
Mments later, I flagged dwn a passing plice car. The pliceman pulled n a pair f rubber glves as I grabbed a wastepaper basket ut f a neighbr's recycling bin. He swped up the rabbit and placed him in the basket. Then, alng with my daughter, I walked dwn the blck t ur huse with the tiny creature curled up in the basket.
