My childhood was a painted picture of sunny sky and rolling green fields stretching to the horizon. It tasted of sharp berries and smelt of sour grapes. My family lived in a cabin (小木屋) in the countryside but I lived in my mother’s arms. They were so delicate but strong, her red hair falling around me like a curtain parating me from the world.
Childhood was simple. The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books. Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees. My village was archaic, dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions. There weren’t many children but me and the other boys; boys of butchers and llers formed our own group.

They called us wild. I suppo we were. Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter. Liberated from the restrictions of society, we would bound into the woods, deeper and deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell, we would jump into all at once.
My most vivid memories from boyhood center around that lake. Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outcry from birds. The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom. As we submerged (淹没), time would suspend, movements slowing as bubbles ro around us.
I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning.
For timelessness or a cond (both felt the same), we would suspend, curl up, and then be forced back out into breathing air.
We should have known that it wouldn’t last forever. Yet, even under the best circumstances, there’s something so tragic about growing up: to have your perspective on the people and life around you change; to always struggle to reach a mirror only to find yourlf tall enough to e, your reflection one day. And find, a different person staring back out at you.

In shallow coastal waters of the Indian ocean, Dugong, a kind of a cow, is in trouble. Environment
al problems po such a major threat to its survival that the International Union for Conrvation of Nature (IUCN) upgraded the species’ extinction risk status (地位) to vulnerable (脆弱的).
Much wor, Dugongs are at risk of losing the protection of the Torres Strait Islanders, who have looked after them historically, hunting them for food sustainably and monitoring their numbers. The native people keep their biodiversity, and have deep knowledge about their environment. But the people are also threatened, in part becau rising a levels are making it difficult for them to live there.
This situation isn’t unique to Dugongs. A global analysis of 385 culturally important plant and animal species found 68 percent were both biologically vulnerable and at risk of losing their cultural protection.
The findings clearly illustrate that biology shouldn’t be the primary factor in shaping conrvation policy, says anthropologist Victoria Reyes- Garcia. When a culture declines, the species that are important to that culture are also threatened. “Lots of conrvationists think we need to parate people from nature,” says Reyes-Garcia. “But that strategy miss the caring relationship many cultural groups have with nature.”
One way to help shift conrvation efforts is to give species a “bio-cultural status,” which would provide a fuller picture of their vulnerability. In the study, the team ud a new way to determine a species’ risk of disappearing: the more a cultural group’s language u declines, the more that culture is threatened. The more a culture is threatened, the more culturally vulnerable its important species are. Rearchers then combined a species’ cultural and biological vulnerability to arrive at its bio-cultural status. In the Dugong’s ca, its bio cultural status is endangered, meaning it is more at risk than its IUCN categorization suggests.
This new approach to conrvation involves people that have historically cared for them. It can highlight when communities need support to continue their care. Scientists hope it will bring more efforts that recognize local communities’ rights and encourage their participation—taking advantage of humans’ connection with nature instead of creating more paration.

A. The native people help conrve Dugongs.
B. The native people train Dugongs to survive.
C. Dugong s ruin the native people’s environment.
D. Dugongs force the native people to leave home.
29.Which statement will Reyes-Garcia probably agree with?
A. The protection policy is ud incorrectly.
B. Culture is connected to species’ existence.
C. Many groups take good care of each other.
D. Conrvationists prefer nature over people.

A. It involves more prervation efforts.
B. It relies on the IUCN’s classification.
C. It highlights the effect of human languages.
D. It asss the biological influence of a species.

Adapting to technological advances is a defining part of the 21st-century life. Just two months after being launched in November 2022, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has already reached an audience of over 100 million people. While ChatGPT threatens to change writing and writing-related work, the Mesopotamians, who lived 4,000 years ago in a geographical area centered in modem-day Iraq, went through this kind of far-reaching change before us.
Ancient Mesopotamia was home to many of civilization’s early developments. Its people were world leaders in adapting to technological and cultural changes. They invented the wheel and agriculture,
and pioneered advances in mathematics and urbanization. The breakthroughs are reflected in cuneiform (楔形文字) literature, one of the oldest known forms of writing.
In its literature, Mesopotamians don’t prent cultural and technological advances as consistently beneficial. They often reprent new technologies being controlled in the rvice of human conflict and mostly rving the interests of tho with high social positions. In some ways, the reprentation of new technologies in its literature echoes (映现) contemporary concerns about AI: fears of increasing social inequalities and is potential u in information war.
论文定稿In recent years, AI—the newest form of writing—has been ud to decipher (破译) the oldest: cuneiform literature. In broader fields, the boundaries of how AI may be ud haven’t been clearly explained. In January, for example, a top international AI conference banned the u of AI tools for writing scientific papers.
Humans have been struggling to invent, u and adapt to technology since our earliest civilizations. But the technology and resulting knowledge are not always evenly distributed. Knowing how we adapted to changing technology in the past helps us more fully understand the human condition and may even help us prepare for the future.
32.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning Mesopotamians?
A. Their adaptation to threats.
B. Their influences on writing.
C. Their contribution to literature.
D. Their achievements in civilization.
33.What can be inferred about technological advances from paragraph 3?
A. They prevent human conflict.
B. They bring about hidden dangers.
C. They take away people’s concerns.
D. They lower people’s social status.
34.What is the current situation of AI according to paragraph 4?
A. Its u in literature is popular.
B. It is not allowed to finish papers.
C. Its range of application is undefined.
D. It is not accepted in broader fields.
35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. How People Can U the Latest Technology
B. How ChatGPT Will Threaten Writing and Work
C. What Al Will Do by Learning Cuneiform Literature
D. What History Can Teach Us About New Tech’s Impact

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you noticed how evenings cool off more in rural areas than they do in cities? Urban areas also tend to get hotter during the day than any nearby areas with lots of greenery. 36
It’s mainly caud by the difference in materials that cover the ground in urban areas and the countryside.
In the country, evaporation (蒸发) of water from soil and the leaves of plants helps to cool the air. 37 Having fewer plants, cities have less evaporation and are unable to cool down the temperature.
Dark colours are another problem. Dark objects absorb all wavelengths of light, making the temperature increa more noticeably. In contrast, white objects reflect all wavelengths of light energy. 38 Sadly, most parts of cities are covered by asphalt (沥青), steel, roofs and bricks which are often dark in colour.
39 As people drive cars, heat buildings, and run air conditioners, cities are generating waste heat
and pouring it into the atmosphere directly. The waste heat adds to the solar energy trapped by the tall buildings.
But cities don’t have to be so hot. Some cities have lightened their streets. This is done by covering
black asphalt streets, parking lots, and dark roofs with a more reflective gray coating. 40
Having more green spaces also helps. Plants rve as a natural air conditioner. They catch heat, relea vapour (蒸汽) into the air, and take away heat, contributing to cooler, fresher cities.
A. Cities also produce more heat than suburban areas.
数学报一年级B. The higher the temperature, the shorter the wavelength.
C. This phenomenon is known as the urban heat-island effect.
D. So it will not be transformed into heat which makes the air hot.
E. Changes in building materials have a minimal effect on city temperatures.
F. Much of the soil in cities, by contrast, has been covered with roads and buildings.
G. The changes can decrea air temperatures dramatically, especially in summer.
