The Wuhan Institute of Shipbuilding Technology was used as a quarantine site (隔离区) from Feb 8 to March
28. Cheng Shining, a junior of Central China Normal University in Wuhan, was responsible for collecting and
distributing supplies for quarantined people and medical staff. As the youngest volunteer at this site, he also chose
to live there so that he could show up whenever he was needed.
One day Cheng and two other volunteers took more than 3 hours to move all 1,462 boxes of mineral water to
storage with 50 firemen's help. Cheng says. "A single person's strength is limited, but we know the whole country is
helping us."
Cheng was a volunteer for the Military World Games held in Wuhan last October. It was the first time he saw
his hometown under the world's spotlight. "I've experienced the highlight of Wuhan, and now when my hometown
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂touched a low point, I want to get through the difficulty together with the city," Cheng says.

away to be a volunteer for the vaccine. A total of 108 Wuhan locals became the first group of COVID-19 vaccine
volunteers in March. They are healthy adults aged from 18 to 60 selected from thousands of people who applied.
"Since the lockdown, I've always been thinking what I can do for my hometown during the epidemic," he says.

During a decline in tourism, one national park in Thailand has seen a dramatic rise in “visitors” recently. So
many are the hermit crabs （寄居蟹）flooding into the otherwise empty beaches of Koh Lanta that shells （贝
壳）for them to live in have become in short supply.
The Thai government moved quickly to ease the housing shortage, launching a public appeal for empty shells
that netted over 200 kg. On December 5 these were distributed around the park in a ceremony.
Hermit crabs rely on shells to protect their soft bodies, moving to larger shells as they grow. On Koh Lanta and
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂the surrounding smaller islands, their rapid increase seems to be a natural phenomenon, rather than directly related
to the absence of tourists. But the shortage of shells may be man-made：pretty ones have long been gathered to be
sold as goods. Crabs had begun to make do with potential death-traps such as plastic caps and bottles.
The shell drive was part of a government initiative to “regain the balance of nature”. “I have instructed all
national parks to do whatever it takes,” says Varawut Silpa-archa, the minister for natural resources. His inspiration
comes from the pause in tourism brought on by CO VID-19. A ban on international visitors and the closure of
national parks have helped nature recover, bringing endangered leatherback turtles back onto Thai beaches. In the
coastal provinces of Phang Nga and Phuket, turtles have laid the largest number of eggs for 20 years.
The government has decided to try to copy the short break forced on it by CO VID-19 in future. From now on,
all national parks will be required to close for a short period during the off-season and to limit the number of
tourists through a reservation system when they are open. Although such restrictions mean reduced earnings from
tourism in the short term, in the longer run more parks may help to keep the tourists coming.
43. What happened to the beaches of Koh Lanta recently?
A. They got flooded by seawater.
B. They became completely empty.
C. They were packed with hermit crabs.
D. They saw a constant stream of tourists.
44. What contributed to the housing shortage for hermit crabs?
A. Natural disasters.
B Human activities.
C. Their preference for bottles.
D. The government's involvement.
45. Why are turtles mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To warn turtles are dying out.
B. To prove beaches are their ideal habitats.
C. To stress ecological diversity of Thailand.
D. To illustrate the birth of Varawut’s inspiration.
46. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Developing Economy or Protecting Animals?
B. Closing National Parks or Drawing More Visitors?
C. Governments are Responsible for the Balance of Nature
D. Authorities Help to Find Shelters for Homeless Hermit Crabs
D
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Hollywood’s theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly. The real
problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may become extremely good at achieving
something other than what we really want. In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded the
field of cybernetics（控制论）, put it this way: “If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with
whose operation we cannot effectively interfere(干预), we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the
machine is the purpose which we really desire.”
A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish
to preserve its own existence. For the machine, this quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by
humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is
dead. So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee, it will have a strong desire to secure
success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we are not
careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose
objectives conflict with our own, with the real world as the chessboard.
The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists.
Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult
questions but never allowing them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work: we
have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines.
Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy. There are
probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines. But the problem should not be
dismissed out of hand, as it has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as
long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans. Others say we can
just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. Still others think
that super intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11, 1933, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated, with
confidence, “Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.”
However, on September 12, 1933, physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain
reaction.
47. Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may .
A. run out of human control
B. satisfy human’s real desires
C. command armies of killer robots
D. work faster than a mathematician

A. prevent themselves from being destroyed
B. achieve their original goals independently
C. do anything successfully with given orders
D. beat humans in international chess matches
49. According to some researchers, we can use firewalls to .
A. help super intelligent machines work better
B. be secure against evil human beings
C. keep machines from being harmed
D. avoid robots’ affecting the world
50. What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines?
A. It will disappear with the development of AI.
B. It will get worse with human interference.
C. It will be solved but with difficulty.
D. It will stay for a decade.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
选项中有两项为多余选项。
As we know, mental health is in a worse situation among young people globally. ___51___ This not only
lowers quality of life, but has a negative impact on a teenager’s growth. To get at the root causes of this decline, a
group of scientists conducted a study and found the combination of high screen time and low “green time” greatly
affects mental well-being. Children nowadays spend more time than ever in front of electronic devices.
The average daily screen time for 8-to-18-year-olds was 7.5 hours in the U. S. ten years ago. As the study
states, “This greatly goes above guidelines of 2 hours per day.” Now the condition is worse by the fact that so many
schools are using technology to teach classes. Indeed some screen time can promote connections and enable tasks
to be done more efficiently. ___52___ In addition to troubling nerve stimulation, too much screen time takes the
place of important protective behaviors for mental health such as physical activity, getting adequate sleep and
academic activities.
The study authors suggest that green time could act as a cure for screen time, essentially balancing its negative
effects. ___53___ The attention systems can be restored in natural environment when they are worn out, because
they employ involuntary attention there, which is not tiring or effortful.
___54___ The great nature could potentially function as a psychological well-being promotion intervention
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂(干预) for children and teenagers in a high-tech era. This knowledge could be a guide to public health departments
