Then I can have it all to myself!” He tied the pot to his 18 closely and began to climb the tree. But it was hard to climb the tree with the p

22、iddle School in Zhejiang, an exciting event took place earlier this year. The students weighed a Pig!Since 2017, the school has built a small ecological （生态的） farm for pigs. Every year, teachers and students work together to discuss and use scientific ways to weigh the pigs. They have used methods l
23、ike levers （杠杆）and Archimedes5 principle （阿基米德定律）. This time, students chose to use Magdeburg hemispheres （马德堡半球）.First, the students used a pump （泵）to get the air out of the hemispheres, and then connected them to a cage where the pig was. When they turned on a switch （开关）to let air in, the pressur
24、e inside the hemispheres increased. With a loud “bang”, the hemispheres pulled apart, showing a pressure difference. Then, they worked out the pigs weight with a special formula （公式），using the pressure difference. Their experiment （实验）worked.Getting the pig to the test site was quite challenging, ho
25、wever. The pig was much larger than it was last year, making it harder for the students to deal with. “As the pig was about to enter the cage, it suddenly lay down and didnt move at all,” 13-year-old Liu Nian says. In the end, they managed to push it into the cage.After experimenting a few times and
26、 dealing with the results, the students found that the black pig weighed 165.3 kilograms, very close to its known weight of 154.5 kg.Besides the fun of the task, the students also deepened their understanding of science through the activity. “We use what we learn in textbooks to solve real problems.
27、 This helps us know what we have learned better and makes science even more attractive,” said 14-year-old Hu Yulin.31What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?AHow students did the experimentBHow difficult the experiment was.CWhat difficulty the students faced.DWhat Magdeburg hemispheres are.32How can we des

29、 to raise pigs.CIt taught them to love animals.DIt helped them enjoy science better.DOn Feb. 15, a new video model called Sora promises to create a video up to a minute long from a short text description. Just tell Sora your idea, and watch it make a video right before your eyes. Sora is described a
30、s “eye-popping”, “world-changing”, and “breathtaking, yet scaring.”The videos from OpenAIs Sora are full of details. One video of a Tokyo street scene shows that Sora has learned how objects fit together in 3-D: the camera goes into the scene to follow a couple as they walk past a row of shops. Sora
31、 knows how things should look in real life.Sora looks at many videos and learns from them by breaking them into very small bits. It uses these bits to make a new video. The new video is grey at first and very messy. Then, Sora fixes the video until it looks good and smooth. Sora also gets help from
32、ChatGPT, which turns the users short sentences into clear instructions. This helps Sora make the video just as you asked.Sora may find “busy” pictures hard to understand. For example, when a person moves, things around them change. In one video created by Sora, a grandma blows the candle on a birthd
33、ay cake, but the flame (火焰) doesnt move. Sora may not be able to tell “left” from “right”.OpenAI also says that Sora deals with occlusion well. But one problem is that they fail to follow objects when they are out of sight. For example, if a truck passes in front of a street sign, the sign might not
34、 reappear afterward.In a video of a papercraft underwater scene, Sora has added what looks like cuts between different pieces of footage (镜头), and the model has kept the same style between them. But its not perfect. In the Tokyo video, cars to the left look smaller than the people walking beside the
35、m. They also pop (突然出现) in and out between the trees. “Theres some work to be done,” says Brooks. “For example, if someone goes out of view for a long time, they wont come back.”“Sora seems like a very important leap forward,” says Sam Gregory, a human rights organization that specializes in the use
36、 and misuse of video technology. “But there are two sides of the coin,” he says. “The meaningful abilities help many more people to be storytellers using video. And there are also possibilities for misuse.”OpenAI has also realized the risks that come with a video model. The OpenAI team plans to draw
37、 on the safety testing. “Well need to get more feedback (反馈) and learn more about the types of risks that need to be solved with video before it would make sense for us to put Sora into use,” says Ramesh.34Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “occlusion”?Abeing seenBbeing followed
38、Cbeing coveredDbeing dropped35The following sentence would best be placed at the end of _.Perhaps it will be an imagination tool or a misinformation machine.AParagraph 4BParagraph 3CParagraph 2DParagraph 136The next part of the passage may be about _.Athe safety testingBthe misuse of SoraCtwo sides
