27、There is always something that happens in the world that everyone fears will happen to their town, city or country: natural disasters. The scariest part of it is that no one will ever see it coming. Though technology helps us prepare, but it never actually tells the people what time it’s going to hit. It is always estimated, but the result is never 100% accurate.
However, that is not the point of this article. Two different natural disasters in two different parts of the world have happened in the past few weeks. One is a major flood that has hit Louisiana in the United States. The other was an earthquake that hit Amatrice, Italy. However, there is a major difference in the news coverage(新闻报道) of the two tragedies.
As for the flooding in Louisiana, it is reported that this disaster is the worst to hit the United States since super-storm Sandy and it’ll cost at least $30 million. In only the first couple of weeks, 13 people had died. However, like me, many people did not hear about this tragic event. I did not learn about it until about three weeks after it happened.
In Italy, however, it covered all media instantly. The earthquake in Italy happened on Tuesday morning. That same day, I was on Twitter and that was all that was over the news feed. Every other post was about the earthquake. Some would have the opinion that Amatrice, Italy was one of the most beautiful towns in that country. I got in deep sorrow because there were more people killed in this quake than the flooding. So far, they have a total of 73 dead and over one-hundred missing.
I understand that technically the earthquake in Italy was worse than the floods in Louisiana. However, I believe that if a natural disaster happens, they all should be equally covered and taken equally as serious. We are one world united and should be there for all of the people out there who are in need of help. We may not be able to accurately predict disasters, but we can surely lend a hand out for the needy.
【1】How does the author develop the passage?
A.By narration.
B.By comparison.
C.By definition.
D.By classification.
【2】Why did the author learn about the flood so late?
A.He didn’t care about the flood.
B.He felt nervous about the news.
C.The media didn’t cover it in time.
D.The flood frightened the author a lot.
【3】How does the author feel about the earthquake in Italy?
A.Proud.
B.Critical.
C.Pitiful.
D.Sad.
【4】What does the author really want to say in the text?
A.Italy isn’t good at predicting the natural disasters.
B.All natural disasters should be covered equally.
C.The world should be united into one instantly.
D.America should help Italy predict natural disasters.

29、After Impressionism: Inventing Modern Art
25 March-13 August 2023
Rooms 1 to 8
Explore a period of great change when artists broke with established tradition and laid the foundations for the art of the 20th and the 21st centuries.
The decades between 1880 and the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 were a complex, energetic period of artistic questioning, searching, risk-taking and innovation.
The exhibition celebrates the achievements of three giants of the period: Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin and follows the influences they had on younger generations of French artists and on wider circles of artists across Europe.
With over a hundred works by artists ranging from Picasso to Mondrian and a selection of sculptures by artists including Rodin and Camille Claudel, the exhibition follows the creation of a new, modern art, free of convention, taking in Expressionism and Abstraction. ‘The exhibition includes some of the most famous works of art created during these decades. Important loans come to the exhibition from institutions and private collections worldwide.

31、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Today, the events 【1】 in realistic-looking or-sounding video and audio recordings need never have happened. They can instead be 【2】 automatically, by powerful computers and machine-learning software. The catch-all term for these computational productions is “deepfakes”.
The term first appeared on Reddit, a messaging board, as the username for an account which was producing 【3】 videos. An entire community 【4】 up around the creation of these videos, writing software tools that let anyone automatically 【5】 one person’s face onto the body of another. Reddit shut the community down, but the technology was out there. Soon it was being applied to political 【6】 and actors.
Tools for editing media 【7】 have existed for decades—think Photoshop. The power and peril of deepfakes is that they make fakery cheaper than ever before. Before deepfakes, a powerful computer and a good chunk of a university degree were needed to produce a realistic fake video of someone. Now some photos and an Internet connection are all that is required.
The consequences of cheap, widespread fakery are likely to be 【8】, albeit slow to unfold. Plenty worry about the possible impact that believable, fake footage of politicians might have on civil society—from a further loss of trust in media to the 【9】 for electoral distortions. These technologies could also be deployed against softer targets: it might be used, for instance, to bully classmates by creating imagery of them in embarrassing situations. In a world that was already saturated with 【10】 imagery, deepfakes make it plausible to push that even further.
