No one wants to be in a life-or-death situation． However, if you are in a dangerous situation, what will you do, fight or flight?

When 13-year-old Joe Rowlands and his dad were in a kayak（皮艇） accident, the brave teenager chose to fight． He not only fought for his own life, but also saved his father’s．

On that day, Joe and his father Paul were out on their kayak off the coast of Anglesey in the UK． Suddenly they noticed that the kayak was starting to fill with water． Then they found out there was a hole in the floor of the boat． Without another choice, Paul turned the boat over． He asked Joe to climb on top so that he could push the boat to a nearby island．

However, the rough （汹涌的）waves made it too hard for Paul to push the boat to land． They had to swim without the boat． Luckily, Joe made his way to the island safely． But when he looked back, he found his dad was no longer swimming． Risking his life, Joe jumped back into the cold water and managed to drag（拽） his dad up onto some rocks． Then Joe did CPR（心肺复苏） on his dad until he came around．

“I know I can never pay him back for saving my life and I’m very proud of him． He acted with courage beyond his years, “Paul said of his son．

Darrius was born with three fingers on his right hand and one on his left hand． He had to work hard to do things that were easy for others． Every time his classmates tried to help, he would say, “Thanks, but I can do it myself．” He learned to use the four fingers to do different things．

When Darrius was 10, he told his father that he liked piano(钢琴) music very much． “It’s too bad you can’t play,” his father said． But the boy took that as a challenge(挑战)．“I will show people that I can,” he said to himself．

Months later, a neighbour gave him an old piano when she moved away． He taught himself to play the piano and practised for hours a day．

Darrius’s favourite piano music is River Flows in You by Yiruma, a Korean musician． It took Darrius a year to learn it． “I have to come up with my own way with only 4 fingers,” he said． When he succeeded, he felt so proud． Later he was lucky enough to play the music together with Yiruma at a famous concert hall! Yiruma encouraged Darrius to follow his dream of playing his own music． Darrius has made it． And his music is popular today．

“I may have a disability,” he says, “ but I don’t let it hold me back from anything．”

39．What did Darrius take as a challenge at the age of 10?

To many people, art is a human expression of creativity． But in recent years, you may have read news about artificial intelligence（AI）creating its own art, such as painting or writing poems． Some people worry that AI might someday replace（替代）artists．

But this worry seems to be unnecessary, at least for now． Many artists today are turning AI into a useful tool． Instead of replacing artists, AI is bringing artists more possibilities．

A piece of music created by AI recently attracted attention． AI was used to create the music based on the protein（蛋白质）structure of COVID-19． The music lasted nearly two hours． The project was led by Markus Buehler, an American musician and MIT professor（教授）of engineering． He assigned (指定) a unique note (独特的音符) to each amino acid (氨基酸) is the protein． The AI then translated these notes into music．

Listeners found the project “mind-blowing”． “It allows me to see the virus in a new way,” said one listener． This surprising combination (结合) between science and art could not be achieved without AI． As The Verge wrote, “AI helps artists play around in unpredictable ways, creating things beyond (超过) what they have ever thought was possible before．”

Apart from creating imaginative works, AI can also take care of repetitive (重复乏味的) tasks for artists． For example, in the comic and cartoon industries, there are now AI tools that can automatically (自动) color in black-and-white line drawings． Although the results can be unpredictable and require a little cleanup． it can give artists room to experiment (实验) by cutting down the time it takes to color each picture．

As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip． “Art of every kind has always been influenced by technological developments．” AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world if it’s welcomed and not unfairly feared．

22． According to the passage, AI can’t ________ now．

A． write poems         B． paint               C． replace artists        D． create music

23． Which of the following is NOT true according to the third and fourth paragraphs?

A． AI created a piece of music about COVID-19．

B． Many of AI’s art creations are beyond artists’ imagination．

C． Science and art can be combined with the help of AI．

D． Markus Buehler was not a professor of engineering, but a musician．

24． The underlined phrase “Apart from” in the fifth paragraph can be replaced by “________”．

A． Besides             B． Instead of           C． Because of          D． According to

25． What’s the main idea of the passage?

A． Technological developments have greatly influenced people’s daily life．

B． AI has been widely used in science research．

C． AI is bringing more help to the art world as a useful tool．

D． AI’s creativity has caused more and mare worries．

Dear Sir/Madam,

①It is now common to go online in the home, yet a recent survey showed that ninety-five percent of parents do not know what websites their children visit． I strongly believe that a training project should be started to help parents to improve their Internet and computer skills so that they can better monitor and guide their children．

②One advantage of providing training is that it would get parents to pay more attention to their children’s online activities． If they had a better understanding of the Internet, they would see the need to make sure that their children use it properly and responsibly．

③Another argument for providing training to parents is that it would allow parents to help their children with their schoolwork． These days, a lot of homework needs to be done on computers． If parents have poor computer skills, they will be of little or no help with homework, which can make them upset． Some people argue that it is good that students can work independently on computers． However, it is clear that students, especially young students, often need this kind of home support．

④Improving parents’ Internet and computer skills might also be a good way or parents to improve their relationships with their children． These days, children spend a lot of their free time on computers． If parents want to be part of that free time, they need to see that playing on computers can be a fun family activity． Joining their children can help parents bridge the generation gap(代沟) between them and their children．

⑤I strongly believe that children need to be helped and guided to use the Internet in a proper and responsible way, and so training is extremely important．

Yours faithfully．

Pat Chan

China gets greener

President Xi Jinping said “clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets(绿水青山就是金山银山)”． With the efforts of China’s government and its people, the rate of forest coverage(森林覆盖率)in China has reached 22． 96%, compared to 5． 05% forty years ago, according to a recent report from the State Forestry and Grassland Administration (SFGA)．

Over the past forty years, China planted billions of trees as part of its fight against expanding(延伸的)deserts, mostly in its north． Each year, people sow seedlings(播种)over an area nearly the size of Ireland, according to Nature．

In 1978, China began a nationwide tree-planting programme known as the Three North Shelterbelt Forest Programme, also known as “the Great Green Wall”． It has helped to plant more than 66 billion trees across 13 provinces in the country’s north to act as windbreaks(防风林), according to China Daily．

Since 2018, SFGA has made more efforts to build a greener country． Its purpose is to grow at least 6． 7 million hectares(公顷)of forest every year in the next 15 years． Besides planting more trees, China has tried to bring back grasslands． It has also used strict forest protection methods and banned(禁止)all commercial logging(商业伐木)since last August．

The high-speed growth of forests cannot happen without public participation(参与)． For example, Ant Forest, an Alipay mobile payment app, plants real tees for users who get “green energy” by taking part in low-carbon(低碳)activities． Since 2016, it has helped to plant about 122 million trees in China’s driest areas．

China was praised as “one of the most successful countries worldwide in greening the desert” by United Nations Environment Programme Executive Director Erik Solheim．

36． What was the rate of forest coverage forty years ago?

A． 5． 05%．                B． 17． 91%．               C． 22． 96%．              D． 28． 01%．

A． turn deserts into green land                                   B． create a green area in the desert

C． stop deserts from expanding                                  D． build an area nearly the size of Ireland

38． Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A． Windbreaks have covered across all provinces of China．

B． In 1978, China succeeded in building “the Great Green Wall．

C． China has grown 6． 7 million hectares of forest since 2018．

D． Since 1978, over 66 billion trees have been planted to act as windbreaks．

39． What did China do to build a greener country?

A． Tried to bring back grasslands．                            B． Made strict forest protection methods．

C． Banned commercial logging．                               D． All of the above．

40． What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A． Ant Forest plants real trees for all Chinese people．

B． Everybody can help build a greener country．

C． China’s forest coverage is the highest in the world．

D． China was praised for no deserts in northern China．

Yuan Longping, a great scientist, is the first person to develop a kind of hybrid rice （杂交水稻） which helps fight hunger in China．

Food was a big problem in China in the past． This was because China had 22 percent of the world’s population, but only 7 percent of its farmland． In the 1960s, China suffered （遭受）serious hunger． Millions of people died because they had no food． As an agronomy （农学） teacher, Yuan was very sad to see this． “How can I help them have enough food?” he thought． He decided to work on a kind of hybrid rice． It has a high output（产量）．

At that time, other scientists didn’t think hybrid rice was worth studying． But Yuan and his team worked on it every day． They took very good care of their rice seeds．

At last, in 1973, they grew a new kind of hybrid rice． This rice is strong． Farmers can grow it in many different kinds of farmland and also in bad weather． It can also fight disease． Its output was much greater than common kinds of nice． With the new kind, about 70,000,000 people could have food every year．

Like many high school graduates, Maggie Doyne didn’t go straight to college． She decided to travel and arrived in western Nepal in 2006． A war had just ended there and left many children living on the streets． They were often forced to work at hard physical jobs for little money．

One day, while walking down a country road, Doyne saw a little girl breaking up rocks． She soon learned that 7-year-old Hima sold the rocks to support her family． With deep sadness, she decided to pay Hima’s tuition(学费) for school． Encouraged by the changes in the child, Doyne thought, “If we can help one child, why not?”

Doyne felt that the street children’s greatest need was a home． She found a piece of land for sale and bought it with $5,000 she saved from years of babysitting(当临时保姆) ． In 2008 the Kopila Valley Chilren’s Home was set up． With the help from the community, another goal was reached in 2010—the Kopila Valley School． Over 350 children now attend the school and over 50 live in the home．

Today, Doyne lives in the home and is “mum” to the kids．

In the park, you see a group of people, all looking up at the sky． Without thinking about it, you look upwards, too． Why? In the concert, someone begins to clap and suddenly the whole room joins in． You do, too． Why?

Sometimes we feel we are acting correctly when we do the same as others． The more people follow an idea, the better or truer we think the idea is． It’s the social proof(社会认同感) that works．

The scientist Asch carried out an experiment． It shows how social proof can influence us． In a room, a man is shown Line 1, and next to it are three lines(A, B, C)． A is longer, C is shorter and B is as long as Line 1． He must tell which of the three lines is as long as Line 1． When the man is alone, he gives the correct answer B． Then, five other man enter the room, and each of them gives the answer C as they were told to． Now the man changes his idea and gives the answer C． Asch got the same result many times among different subjects(实验对象)．

Why do we act like this? Well, in the past, following others was a way to keep away from danger． Suppose that 5000 years ago you were hunting(打猎) with friends． Suddenly, they all ran away． What would you have done? Would you have stayed? No, you would have run, too． We are descendants(后代) of those who copied others’ action． It is so deeply planted in our mind that we still use it now．

Social proof has special power． The advertising industry, for example, often makes use of it． So be careful whenever a company says its product is ＂the most popular＂．

5． At the beginning of the passage, the writer leads in the topic by _________．

A． telling a story                                       B． giving examples

C． answering questions                              D． showing a map

6． According to Paragraph 3, the experiment by Asch shows _________．

A． following others is always right

B． social proof may change people’s ideas

C． it’s difficult to carry out the experiment

D． people can study better if they are alone

7． The underlined word ＂It＂ in Paragraph 4 refers to _________．

A． running with others                              B． hunting with friends

C． copying others’ action                           D． doing something different

8． According to the passage, we can infer(推断) that _________．

A． it’s important to run with others anytime

B． products in the advertisement are the best

C． we mustn’t copy others’ action to keep safe

D． we need to think twice before following others
