I then took down the Jolly Roger flag and threw it into the sea.“You want to get ashore (海岸), now you need my help.” said Hands, “Tie up my wound, then Ill tell you how to sail the ship.”“I want to get to North Inlet.”Hands
3、agreed to help me, and the Hispaniola was sailing along the coast of Treasure Island. I tied up the knife wound in his leg with a cloth. After eating and drinking, he looked better.We soon arrived at the North Inlet. Hands was very good at guiding me in, we turned into the beach, and came easily to

The Yellow River is known as the mother river of the Chinese people. However, flood control and disaster forecasts (灾害预报) of the river have
10、always been challenging for people. Now, scientists can better work on these problems by giving the river a digital twin.The digital twin of the Yellow River uses different kinds of technologies, including big data, artificial intelligence and the internet of things. Devices(设备)are set up along the
11、river to collect and transmit (传送) information to the center. Based on the information, a 3D model of the river is showed on the computer screen. Its like the Yellow River has a twin that describes its real conditions.One big thing in the digital governance (治理) is “smart stones”. A smart stone is a
12、 detector (探测器) with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter. They are put in important dikes (堤坝) to record and report the movement of dike stones. If it feels any movement of the dikes stones, it will send an alarm to the center for quick response.In the sky, there are flying drones (无人机). They
13、 are designed to look at the river, its dikes and flood prevention projects. The drones provide researchers with photos and information. The researchers use this information to update a 3D model to watch the changes of water to avoid disasters.Under the water and up in the sky, intelligent systems a
14、re helping to protect the Yellow River. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, in the future, we can expect to see an even more complete digital system for the river.5What does the digital twin of the Yellow River do?ATo warn people to protect Yellow River.BTo improve flood control and disast
15、er prevention.CTo do research with the history of the Yellow River.DTo collect and transmit information to tourist center.6What are “smart stones” in this system used to do?ATo repair the dikes along the river.BTo prevent the dike stones moving into the river.CTo monitor and report the movement of d

18、n China are being encouraged to start offering soccer as a new undergraduate major(本科专业)this year. The purpose of that is to improve the countrys physical education according to the Ministry of Education（教育部）.Soccer has been set up as a new major in 30 universities in China, including Beijing Sport
19、University and Liaoning Normal University, according to a new notice from the Ministry of Education in March, 2024. At the same time, more universities have set up some majors related to sports, such as sports training and physical education. Some famous universities such as Tsinghua University, Pek
20、ing University and Beijing Institute of Technology have also been allowed to start offering majors in physical education.Qian Junwei, a professor (教授) at Peking University, said that setting up undergraduate major in physical education is to meet the need of the national requirement of building high
21、-level sports teams. He said that Peking University will train more excellent physical educators to build a strong sports country. Liu Bo, the director of the sports department at Tsinghua University, added that sports majors are expected to become popular among universities. The new soccer major mi

23、 well.CThe reasons why universities set up soccer as a new major.DSome famous sports teams in the universities.11In which part of a newspaper can we most probably read the text?AHealthy.BCulture.CTechnology.DEducation.Me and My BrainWe all know that meaningful changes happen in our bodies during ado
24、lescence (青春期), but have you ever stopped to wonder whats actually going on inside our brains during this time?To paint a clear picture, we should first know about ourselves with the different parts of the brain. Did you know, for example, that our brains are made up of around 100 billion nerve cell
25、s (神经细胞) called neurons (神经元)? And coming from these neurons are several branch-like structures for sending and receiving electrical signals? Every time we do or think anything, a signal is sent. The signal travels down a long structure called the axon (轴突) and, at the end, it passes across small ga
26、ps called synapses (神经元的突触) to the dendrites (树突) of another neuron, which receive the signal. In this way, messages are sent across our neural network.Our brain structure changes greatly as we grow up. Newborn babies have almost all their neurons but few connections between them, which is why they
27、cant do very much. After a few months however, the number of connections increases quickly, which in turn helps small kids master new skills such as walking and talking. Most brain development is completed in the first few years, but we now know that our brains continue to develop throughout our liv
28、es and perhaps the most surprising time of change and development is during adolescence.During this period of reorganization, the brain notices a sudden increase in neurons not dissimilar to a plant growing uncontrollably in spring. Just as we cut back a plant to make it stronger and healthier, we c
29、ut back our brains. The connections that are used become stronger, whereas those which arent used dry and die. So, the more often an action or thought is activated, the stronger the connections become between the neurons, which in turn makes the part of the brain being used stronger. This explains w
30、hy the more you do something, the better you become at it, reinforcing the old saying “practice makes perfect”. In fact, the teenage brain provides conditions for perfecting skills such as playing a musical instrument, speaking another language, or learning a difficult computer game. It could be arg
31、ued that teenagers decide the development of their own grey matter through the activities they take part in and their experiences.It may also be unsurprising to many to learn that the last part of the adolescent brain to develop is the frontal cortex (额皮质), responsible for self-control, problem solv
32、ing and decision making. So, long before teens are good at abstract thinking (抽象思维) and logical decision making, they depend on the emotional center of the brain to make choices and think. So perhaps unpredictable, uncertain, risk taking teenage behaviors, often put down to hormones (荷尔蒙), may actua
33、lly have more to do with whats going on inside our brain.12What do we learn about the structure of the brain?AAll neurons are activated when we think.BThe structure of a brain cell is compared to a tree.CNeurons allow a message to travel around the brain.DThe structure of a brain changes when a mess
34、age is sent.13What does Paragraph 3 tell us?AA decision helps babies learn how to speak.BMost changes in brain happen after adulthood.CThe process of brain development is continuous.DBabies are born with the ability to do anything.14The word “reinforcing” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_”.AjudgingBc

36、hat happen in their brainsOn 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 as “eye-popping”, “world-changing”, and “breathtaking, yet s
37、caring.”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 knows how things should look in real life.Sora looks at ma
38、ny 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 ChatGPT, which turns the users short sentences into clear i
39、nstructions. 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 birthday cake, but the flame (火焰) doesnt move. Sora may not be ab
40、le 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 reappear afterward.In a video of a papercraft underwater s
41、cene, 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 them. They also pop (突然出现) in and out between the trees. “Ther
42、es 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 and misuse of video technology. “But there are two sides o
43、f 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 on the safety testing. “Well need to get more feedback (反馈
44、) 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.16Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “occlusion”?Abeing seenBbeing followedCbeing coveredDbeing dropped17The following sentence would
45、best be placed at the end of _.Perhaps it will be an imagination tool or a misinformation machine.AParagraph 4BParagraph 3CParagraph 2DParagraph 118The next part of the passage may be about _.Athe safety testingBthe misuse of SoraCtwo sides of SoraDanother video model19What can most possibly be the
46、writers real purpose?ATo encourage us to use Sora to make short videos.BTo explain to us how to use Sora to create short videos.CTo remind us to care about the problems and risks Sora has.DTo introduce what advantages Sora will bring to our daily life.Hilary Smith belonged to a good family. But by t
47、he age of twenty, he had spent all the money the good old family had. He then had some trouble with the bank and was put in prison. He escaped from the prison and ran to Australia at once. Hilary did not like Australia, and Australia did not like Hilary. What he could do seemed to be one of two thin
48、gs: die or work. Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world. He had an aunt. She was his fathers only sister, but his father used to say she brought no glory (荣耀) to the family. Hilary, of course, tried to discover what she had done. It seemed that she had failed to marry a nobleman. Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connected with “trade”. Of course, as soon as she became “Mrs. Parks”, her brother considered her dead. Later on, Mr. Parks died and
