Just hw bad f a mther am I, I silently wndered, as I watched my 13-year-ld sn deep in cnversatin with Siri. Gus has autism (自闭症), and Siri, Apple's “intelligent persnal assistant” n the iPhne, is currently his BFF(Best Friend Frever). Obsessed with weather frmatins, Gus had spent the past hur explring the difference between islated and scattered thunderstrms—an hur during which, thank Gd, I didn't have t discuss with him myself. After a while I heard this:
Gus:“Yu're a really nice cmputer.”
Siri:“It's nice t be appreciated.”
Gus:“Yu're always asking if yu can help me.Is there anything yu want?”
Siri: “Thank yu, but I have very few wants.”
Gus: “OK. Well, gd night!”
Siri: “See yu later!”
That is Siri. She des nt let my cmmunicatively impaired sn get away with anything. When Gus discvered there was smene wh wuld nt nly find infrmatin fr him related t his varius bsessins but wuld als be willing t tirelessly discuss these subjects, he was hked.
She is als wnderful fr smene wh des nt pick up n scial cues: Siri's respnses are nt entirely predictable, but they are predictably kind—even when Gus is rude. I heard him talking t Siri abut music, and Siri ffered sme suggestins. “I dn't like that kind f music.” Gus snapped(厉声说). Siri replied, “Yu're certainly entitled t yur pinin.” Siri's pliteness reminded Gus what he wed Siri. “Thank yu fr that music, thugh.” Gus said.
My sn's practice cnversatins with Siri are starting t translate int increased facility with actual humans. Yesterday I had the lngest ever cnversatin with him. Admittedly, it was abut different species f turtles which might nt have been my chice f tpic, but it was back and frth, and fllwed a lgic. Fr mst f my sn's 13 years f existence, this has nt been the case.
Indeed, many f us wanted an imaginary friend when we were yung, and nw we can all have ne nt entirely imaginary anytime we wish t. In a wrld where the cmmnly held wisdm is that technlgy islates us, it's wrth cnsidering anther side f the stry.
The develpers f intelligent assistants recgnize their ptential usefulness fr thse with speech and cmmunicatin prblems, and sme are currently pndering new ways in which the assistants can help. “Fr example, the assistant wuld be able t track eye mvements and help the autistic learn t lk yu in the eye while talking." said William Mark, vice president f the cmpany frm whm Apple purchased the technlgy behind Siri. “See, that's the wnderful thing abut technlgy. Getting results requires a lt f repetitin. Machines are very, very patient."
23．What did the authr feel when she watched her sn having a deep cnversatin with Siri abut thunderstrms?
A．Cncerned but helpless.B．Excited and verjyed.
C．Guilty but relievedD．Hpeless and surprised.
24．Which f the fllwing statements abut Gus is true?
A．He had always dreamed f having an imaginary friend.
B．He shws n interest in anything that is nt related t weather.
C．He has truble cmmunicating with thers because f his illness.
D．He has been friends with Siri since he was diagnsed with autism.
25．Siri has helped Gus in the fllwing aspects except_______________.
A．setting a fixed bedtime rutine
B．explring his special interests
C．shaping his lgic while talking
D．imprving his interactin with peple
26．What des the authr learn frm her sn's stry?
A．Siri makes peple feel much lnely in mdern sciety.
B．Siri smetimes prvides better assistance than peple.
C．Siri has a better academic perfrmance than the authr.
D．Siri is likely t be an effective cure fr her sn's autism.
27．What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A．Intelligent assistants will be mre widely emplyed in the future.
B．The use f intelligent assistants will likely be limited t autistic peple.
C．Machines are mre skilled and patient at cmmunicatin than humans.
D．William Mark was critical f the future develpment f intelligent assistants.

Chilly weather and cmmn respiratry（呼吸器官的） infectins ften g hand in hand. Reasns fr this include peple gather inside mre in winter and viruses survive better in lw-humidity indr air. But there has been less certainty abut whether lwer temperatures actually impair human immunity（免疫力）and, if s, hw.
Nw, a new study published December 6, 2022, in the Jurnal f Allergy and Clinical Immruunlgy details a previusly unknwn way that the immune system attacks viruses inside the nse and finds it wrks better when it's warm.
Mansr Amiji, a pharmaceutical sciences prfessr at Nrtheastern University, fund that ur nses released “extracellular vesicles” （EVs）— a spray f tiny sacs（囊）that gathered and destryed bacteria upn breathing in.
Fr the new research, the team set ut t answer a questin: is the strength f EVs' respnse linked t temperature?
In rder t tackle the questin, they divided the nasal（鼻的） cell samples int tw grups and cultivated them in a lab, subjecting ne set f samples t 37℃, and the ther t 32℃.
Under regular bdy heat cnditins, the EVs were successfully able t fight ff viruses. But under the reduced temperatures, fewer EVs were prduced, and thse that were made packed less attack against the invaders tested: tw rhinviruses（鼻病毒） and a nn-COVID crnavirus（冠状病毒）, which are typically fund in winter cld seasn.
“There's never been a cnvincing reasn why yu have this very clear increase in viral infectivity in the cld mnths,” said c-authr Benjamin Bleier, a surgen at Harvard Medical Schl and Massachusetts Eye and Ear. “This is the first quantitative and bilgically reasnable explanatin that has been develped.” He added.
“These discveries culd pave the way fr an eventual treatment against the cmmn cld, r even the flu and COVID,” said Amiji, “That's an area f great interest fr us and we certainly cntinue t pursue that.”
28. What des the underlined wrd “impair” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Damage. B. Imprve. C. Influence. D. Preserve.
29. Hw did Mansr Amiji cnduct the new research?
A. By raising a questin. B. By cultivating the nasal samples.
C. By setting the cntrast experiment. D. By adjusting the temperature in the lab.
30. What can we knw abut the EVs accrding t the research?
A. The EVs are typically fund in the cld seasn.
B. The EVs release sacs t destry bacteria upn inhalatin.
C. The EVs wn't resist the rhinviruses under regular bdy heat cnditins.
D. The EVs' quantity and attack pwer are psitively assciated with temperature.
31. What is Benjamin Bleier's attitude twards the result f the study?
A. Skeptical. B. Apprved. C. Cnservative. D. Indifferent.

Back in 1975, ecnmists planned rising life expectancy (预期寿命)against cuntries' wealth, and cncluded that wealth itself increases lngevity. It seemed self-evident; everything peple need t be healthy—frm fd t medical care—csts mney.
But it sn prved that the data didn't always fit that thery. Ecnmic bms didn't always mean lnger lives. In additin, fr reasns that weren't clear, a given gain in grss dmestic prduct (GDP)caused increasingly higher gains in life expectancy ver time, as thugh it was becming cheaper t add years f life. Mrever, in the 1980s researchers fund gains in learning were assciated with greater increases in life expectancy than gains in wealth were. Finally, the mre educated peple in any cuntry tend t live lnger than their less educated fellw citizens. But such peple als tend t be wealthier, s it has been difficult t make ut which factr is increasing lifespan.
Wlfgang Lutz and his clleagues have nw dne that by cllecting average data n GDP per persn, lifespan, and years f educatin frm 174 cuntries, dating frm 1970 t 2010. They fund that, just as in 1975, wealth was assciated with lngevity. But the assciatin between lngevity and years f schling was clser, with a direct relatinship that did nt change ver time, the way wealth des.
Lutz argues that because schling happens many years befre a persn has attained their life expectancy, this assciatin reflects cause; better educatin drives lnger life. It als leads t mre wealth, which is why wealth and lngevity are als assciated. But what is imprtant, says Lutz, is that wealth des nt seem t be lngevity, as experts thught—in fact, educatin is driving bth f them.
He thinks this is because educatin permanently imprves a persn's cgnitive abilities, allwing better planning and self-cntrl thrughut the rest f their life. This idea is supprted by the fact that peple wh are mre intelligent appear t live lnger.
32. What d we knw abut ecnmists' cnclusin in 1975?
A. Lifespan culd be increased by wealth.
B. Ecnmic grwth didn't always mean lnger life.
C. Educatin influenced lngevity mre than wealth did.
D. A given grwth in GDP caused higher gains in lngevity.
33. What did Wlfgang Lutz and his clleagues find frm the cllected data?
A. Wealth and lngevity did nt have any assciatin.
B. Differences in wealth predicted differences in lngevity.
C. Lngevity and educatin were mre clsely assciated.
D. Relatinship between educatin and lngevity changed ver time.
34. What part des educatin play permanently accrding t Lutz?
A. It enables peple t have better planning and self-cntrl.
B. It always leads t a lnger but nt necessarily richer life.
C. It imprves peple's imaginative and innvative abilities.
D. It helps peple acquire time-managing and learning habits.
35. What's the passage mainly abut?
A. Wealth influences lngevity.
B. Educatin influences lngevity.
C. Wealth has nthing t d with lngevity.
D. The relatinship between educatin and wealth.

I was always afraid f water. This fear culd nt be explained, but I knew that the mment I stepped near any bdy f water, my legs wuld turn t jelly(果冻).I wuld imagine myself drwning in the water and thrashing arund (乱扑腾)helplessly. That was why I had never gne int a swimming pl until swimming became a schl requirement. My schl wanted all pupils t pass a swimming test, and if they culd nt, then they wuld have t attend weekly swimming lessns in schl, which made me tremble.
Thus, my parents signed me up fr swimming lessns at the pl near my huse. With great unwillingness, I attended thse weekly lessns, and each ne was great suffering fr me. I was naturally clumsy, and my fear f water did nt help at all. Every lessn, I wuld be spending my time thrashing abut in the water, while my classmates wuld be swimming cuntless laps effrtlessly and even turning ver like dlphins in the water. Hw was I ging t pass the test at this rate? In my swimming class, there was an exceptinally athletic girl. Tall and muscular, her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in ur class and always lked at me with disdain(鄙视), especially when I thrashed abut hpelessly in the water.
Once, after a particularly lng and hard swimming lessn, I sptted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pl. Gathering my curage, I asked gently, "Kathy, can yu teach me t swim?" She stared at me cldly. It was as if I std at the edge f an endless cean f inadequacy, my fears appearing like dark strm cluds threatening t drwn me. Yet, in that mment, a glimmer f hpe flashed within me, a desperate lnging fr guidance and acceptance. Wuld Kathy's icy exterir(外表)melt under the warmth f empathy, r wuld I remain frever thrashing in the sea f my wn fears?
T my surprise, she ndded after a few mments f silence.

Paragraph 1: T my surprise, she ndded after a few mments f silence. It was a small gesture, but it felt like a ray f hpe breaking thrugh the strm cluds f my fear. With hesitant steps, Kathy began t guide me thrugh the waters, her mvements fluid and effrtless cmpared t my wn clumsy struggles. Despite her cl appearance, I sn realized that beneath her exterir f strength lay a heart willing t ffer assistance. She patiently crrected my mistakes, ffering encuragement and reassurance with each small imprvement. Thrugh her guidance, I gradually fund myself grwing mre cnfident in the water, the grip f fear lsening its hld n me with each lessn.
Paragraph 2: "Cngratulatins!" Kathy said when she learned I had passed the swimming test. Her vice held a hint f pride, a far cry frm the disdain I had nce felt emanating frm her. I culdn't help but smile gratefully at her, knwing that withut her guidance and supprt, I wuldn't have been able t achieve this milestne. Kathy's willingness t help me cnquer my fear f water had nt nly imprved my swimming skills but als taught me the pwer f empathy and kindness.
