26、There is no magic method for living longer and better. But a certain character makes getting older a lot more meaningful: having an open mind and heart.
David Starbuck, an archaeologist (考古学家), continues digging up history in New York despite a diagnosis (诊断) of cancer. Last August, a doctor told 70-year-old David Starbuck he had cancer, and that he had only six months to one year to live. David had a ready comeback.” I would prove that the doctor wrong and live for years,” he says. “It’s the stubborn (固执的) ones who survive. We, archaeologists, are like that. I live for whatever I will discover next.”
For the past three decades, David has devoted his life to the dig of one of North America’s most important eighteenth-century sites. Fort Edward, near Glens Falls, New York. You might think that the archaeologists would be satisfied resting on their laurels. “A lot of archaeologists never want to retire,” he says. “We are programmed toward the love of discovery.” In addition to directing yearly digs at Fort Edward and nearby Rogers Island, David keeps busy writing research reports and laying the groundwork for what he hopes will become a visitor-friendly site at Fort Edward. “Some people have families to live for,” he says. “I live for archaeology.” David has published almost twenty books and been written up in newspapers and magazines.
“Archaeologists are storytellers,“ he says. A single small artifact (手工艺品) can tell us about a whole world from the past. “It’s no longer abstract history. You are connecting with someone from hundreds of years ago.” Finding and sharing these moments keeps David alive-physically and spiritually. “The best site,” he says, “is always the one you are about to find.”
【1】How did David react to the doctor’s words?
A.He was terrified and tried his best to prove the doctor wrong.
B.He accepted the diagnosis and followed what the doctor said.
C.He kept working at the historic site ignoring the doctor’s diagnosis.
D.He thought it was too late to receive treatment and thus decided to dig on.
【2】What does the underlined word “laurels” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.ideas.
B.habits.
C.arrangements.
D.achievements.
【3】What does the text mainly convey?
A.Working too hard is usually harmful for your health.
B.It is necessary to make use of the remaining days of your limited life.
C.It is your positive attitude that makes life meaningful.
D.For an archaeologist,work is more important than health.
27、 In 2015, Chennai was destroyed by one of the worst floods in over a century, leaving thousands without food, water and supplies. During the flood, many heroes arose, one of whom was Santosh, a young man who owned a take-out restaurant in Chennai.
When the first flood hit in November, he got a call from a company called Naga Rava. The company asked him to prepare 5,000 packets of food and give them to the flood victims. He, with his partners, took the order, cooked for 14 hours and delivered(递送) them. But that night, as they sat together discussing the event of the day, they actually felt ashamed(羞愧). “Here was a man not even from Chennai and he was going out of his way to help the affected people. We, while living here, had not really done anything ourselves for our own people,” said Santosh later.
He then began the groundwork for a collection to help cook more dishes. Little did he know that the November flood was just the beginning, and the real show was about to begin. The December flood affected them all. His own house got flooded and his family was trapped on the second floor. They lost phone connection and electricity. In spite of this, Santosh went back out into the flood, creating a kitchen and preparing food all by himself for the victims.
He did not sleep for four days, taking a one-hour break every day as he kept on cooking. As word got out about this man’s effort, others stepped out to join him. From children to the elderly, strangers came to help him in cooking, packing and transporting food. Up to 300 volunteers worked together to make it all happen. By the time the fourth day finally came to an end, Santosh and his team had prepared 170,000 food boxes and delivered them to people in need.
【1】What inspired Santosh to help the affected people?
A.A call for help. B.His cooking skills.
C.An act of kindness of a stranger. D.The encouragement from his partners.
【2】What does “the real show” in the third paragraph refer to?
A.The help and support. B.The severer flood.
C.Santosh’s family suffering. D.Santosh’s cooking more food.
【3】Which of the following can best describe Santosh?
A.Energetic and helpful. B.Determined and clever.
C.Selfless and caring. D.Kind and wise.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Many Hands Make Light Work
B.Kindness Is Its Own Reward
C.Major Floods Brought Challenges To People
D.A Man Cooked 170,000 Meals For The Affected
28、Here’s a look at the some new events added to the Olympic program for the Beijing Games, which began with the Opening Ceremony on Feb. 4, 2022.
Aerials-Mixed Team Event
Individual men’s and women’s aerials (空中技巧) events have been part of the Olympic program since the Lillehammer Games in 1994, with skiers launching themselves straight in the air and completing a dizzy array of tricks before landing back on a snowy slope. In mixed team aerials, each country enters three skiers — it can be two men and a woman, or two women and a man. The scores are added together for the final.
Freestyle Skiing-Big Air (Men’s and Women’s)
Big air snowboarding made its Olympic debut (初次登场) in 2018. The skiing event debuting in 2022 follows the same basic concept, with skiers flying off a huge slope and performing the biggest trick they can. One athlete to watch for is 2018 Olympian Alex Hall, who finished fourth when the event made its world championships debut in 2019.
Short Track Speedskating-Mixed Team Relay
The mixed team relay is a 2,000-meter race in which two women and two men from a country combine to cover 18 laps. Each skater races twice, with the order going woman - woman - man - man - woman - woman - man - man. The mixed relay has been part of the world cup series since the 2018-19 season.
Ski Jumping-Mixed Team Event
The mixed team event trend continues here, this time with teams consisting of two men and two women from each country. The competition, which takes place on the normal hill, was first held at the world cup level in 2012, and it’s been part of the world championships since 2013.
【1】What is the final point of each country’s skiers in Aerials-Mixed Team Event?
A.The final try of the last athlete.
B.The total score of the three skiers.
C.The added result of two members.
D.The highest score in each country’s team.
【2】What is Alex Hall?
A.A famous world athlete in Freestyle Skiing.
B.An experienced athlete in Ski Jumping.
C.A player in Aerials-Mixed Team Event.
D.A famous coach on Short Track Speedskating.
【3】What do the last two events have in common?
A.They entered the world cup in 2018.

29、For years, the Colorado State Fair has held its fine art competition under little media coverage. But when its judges picked an artificial intelligence-generated work “Théȃtre D’opéra Spatial” as a winner in August, 2022, this event immediately received different comments.
“Théȃtre D’opéra Spatial” is an example of AI-generated content (AIGC), created with a text-to-art generator program. Several other AI-driven art-generating programs have also appeared in 2022, and the variety reflects a wide range of artistic styles. Stable Diffusion, for instance, is focused on western-style artwork, while Baidu’s ERNIE-ViLG produces images influenced by Chinese art. Meanwhile, AIGC can also include articles, videos, and various other media offerings such as voice synthesis, which can be applied in voice navigation for digital maps.
As AIGC becomes increasingly common, it could make content creation more efficient by getting rid of repetitive tasks for creators. For instance, filmmakers have long had to pay money for countless hours of video editing. AIGC may soon make that unnecessary.
Besides increasing efficiency, AIGC could also increase business growth in content creation and demand for personalized digital content. Insight SLICE forecasts that the global digital creation market will on average grow 12% annually between 2020 and 2030. AI has the potential to meet this massive demand at a tenth of the cost.
AIGC can also serve as an educational tool by helping children develop their creativity. StoryDrawer, for instance, is an AI-driven program designed to improve children’s creative thinking. When a child describes an imaginary picture to the system, it then generates an image while providing prompts to inspire the child to expand on the image.
As with every new technology, it’s anybody’s guess how AIGC will develop. But just as past technologies have helped expand art, AIGC is set to put the power of creativity into the hands of more people.
【1】Why does the author mention the Colorado State Fair?
A.To advertise the art competition event.
B.To introduce the artificial intelligence painting.
C.To help present the concept of AIGC.
D.To criticize the unfair result of this year’s contest.
【2】Which is an advantage of AIGC?
A.Doing all the work of traditional filmmakers.
B.Enriching the variety of art styles.
C.Increasing the demand for digital content.
D.Helping develop children’s creativity.
【3】What does the underlined word “prompts” mean in paragraph 5?
A.clues
B.methods
C.images
D.platforms
【4】What is the author’s attitude toward the future of AIGC?
A.Hopeful.
B.Worried.
C.Critical.
D.Cautious.

It had been a hard year for Anna and her twin girls. A few months before the pandemic hit, her parents had moved out of Kansas. No other relatives lived nearby. As COVID-19 spread, the family felt lonely, scared, and isolated.
On a particularly tough day last December, Anna cane up with an idea of having the girls send letters to Santa by balloon. She told them that Santa would catch the balloon while he flew through the air on his sled. The twins, at the age of six, named Atlas and Emma, were excited at their mother’s idea. They clapped and hopped around. Then Anna took out a note and a pen. “Now, girls, let’s make our Christmas wish list to tell Santa what you are eager to get. I will help you with the note.” Finally, the handwritten note read “Dear Santa, we are Atlas and Emma. We live in Liberal, Kansas. This year we have been nice. We would like candies, Spider-Man balls, Frozen dolls, and a puppy. With love.” Atlas and Emma checked their wish list by counting the words as their mother read it out loud. Made sure that there was nothing wrong, Atlas folded the note into a small piece and Emma attached it to a balloon.
It was a cold, windy but sunny morning one week before Christmas. Anna dressed the girls in identical pink sweatshirts, and then she took them outside to release their wishes to the universe. “Bye, balloon! ” the girls called, waving as the balloon floated away, sailing above the trees and into the sky.
The family enjoyed a modest Christmas together, and then the calendar turned to a new year. One day in early January, Anna noticed that a friend had been calling her all morning. When Anna finally called her back, the friend cried out, “Someone found your balloon and posted it on Facebook.”
