When a hurricane hit her hometown Karen Lauder chose to stay at home because she didn’t know how
strong the storm would be. Karen was 84 years old and depended on a wheelchair to get around because she was
missing a leg. Her son, Johnny Lauder, tried repeatedly to get her to leave, but she refused.
Johnny and his whole family live within a few blocks of one another. They kept in touch with Karen as the
storm continued violently (猛烈地) outside, watching the water rising dangerously all around them. When Karen
reported that the water in her house had reached her bottom, Johnny knew he had to take action.
First, Johnny ensured his sons and their pets were taken care of. Then, he jumped out of a window and began
to swim. Johnny used to work as a rescue swimmer. He is obviously a strong swimmer, but the flood water was
filled with dangerous materials. There was also a strong current (水流), and he had to swim against it for most of
his trip to Karen’s. As he made his way through the water, Johnny stopped periodically to snap selfies (自拍) to
show his worried family that he was okay.
Johnny was racing against the clock. He knew he only had a short period of time to get there before the water
rose above Karen’s head. It took him 40 minutes to swim four blocks. The sound of Karen shouting inside was
music to his ears!
“If it would’ve been 20 minutes later, she wouldn’t be here,” Johnny said. “She’s never been happier to see
me.”
Karen is now safe, although she is in the hospital being treated for infections (感染) she got in the water. The
family have all lost everything they owned, including their houses, but they’ re grateful just to be here.
4. Why did Karen refuse to leave her house when the hurricane came?
A. She was too old to move. B. She missed one of her legs.
C. She thought the storm was not violent. D. She lost her wheelchair and was unable to leave.
5. What challenge did Johnny face while swimming to his mother?.
A Strong current. B. Sharks in the water. C. Cold temperature. D. Lack of swimming
skills.
6. Why did Johnny take selfies along the way to Karen’s home?
A. To record his swimming trip. B. To report his safety to his family.
C. To warn other rescuers of danger. D. To show off his swimming skills.
7. What was the family’s attitude after losing everything?
A. They were angry. B. They were depressed.
C. They were bitter about the loss. D. They were thankful to be alive.
C
One bird may not make a summer but seeing or hearing birds does improve mental wellbeing, a ground-breaking
study in the journal Scientific Reports has found.
Researchers tracked 1, 292 participants’ everyday encounters with birds last year via a smartphone app called
Urban Mind. Over the course of two weeks, the participants, from the UK, Europe, the US, China and Australia, were
asked every two hours to document how they were feeling, including whether they were happy or stressed.
The researchers found that participants’ average mental wellbeing scores increased when they saw or heard
birds, including among those who said they had been diagnosed (诊断) with depression.
Andrea Mechelli, professor of early intervention (干涉) in mental health at King’s College London, said that the
positive effect of bird encounters on people with depression was significant because many “interventions that help
so-called ‘healthy people’ don’t work for individuals with mental health issues”. Mechelli said, “We know exercise
makes everyone feel better. But it’s so challenging to motivate someone with depression to exercise, while contact
with bird life is something that, perhaps, is feasible.”
Adrian Thomas, the author of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds’ Guide to Birdsong, said the report’s
findings came as no surprise as most people described their reaction to birdsong as joy. He added, “Birdsong would
have once been the natural soundtrack to all human lives, and I do think that it is rooted somewhere deep within us.
It is related with spring and good times coming, which is just one of the reasons why we need to appreciate the role
of birds in our life and ensure that nature.”
8. What were the participants asked to do?
A. To keep track of birds. B. To keep record of moods.
C. To report health issues. D. To analyze feeling changes.
9. What does the underline word “feasible” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Practicable. B. Inspiring. C. Measurable. D. Effective.
10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Potential application of the research results. B. A reasonable doubt to the research question.
C. Detailed descriptions of the research process. D. A further explanation of the research findings.
11. Which of the following may the research contribute to?
A. Bird watching activity. B. Stress relief methods.
.
C Bird protection campaign. D. Mental health treatment.
D
Climate change is leading to a large number of extreme weather events in places like the Horn of Africa, where
deadly floods and the worst drought hit in decades. In addition, traditional weather forecast (预报) models in sub-
Saharan Africa often aren’t dependable enough to forecast extreme weather events correctly in advance, leaving the
areas at risk. Based on the facts, correct and timely forecasts are important to safeguard lives and livelihoods.
Climate scientists are building artificial intelligence (AI) into the traditional weather forecasting method in East
Africa to improve the accuracy (准确度) of extreme weather forecasts. “We start from the traditional forecasts and
add the AI model over it to make up for what the traditional forecasts have missed, so that the final forecast results
can more accurately match the data that has actually been observed (观察),” explains Shruti Nath, a climate scientist
and researcher at the University of Oxford Department of Physics.
According to Shruti Nath, this model, which only requires a notebook computer to run, without the need for
expensive supercomputers, gives local meteorological (气象的) organizations a less expensive way of making
more accurate forecasts in an area where there is a shortage of accurate observational data. The researchers say the
project could change early warning systems in East Africa, making the area get better prepared for the extreme
weather caused by climate change.
The model is being used in Kenya and Ethiopia now. If successful in East Africa, researchers hope to use it in
other parts of the world facing similar challenges. More countries are trying to spread the technology as well as build
local ownership and trust.
12. What does the author want to stress in the first paragraph?
A. The necessity of using the new weather forecast model.
B. The great climate changes caused by human activities.
C. The seriousness of the flood and drought in Africa.
D. The little progress made in weather forecasts.
13. How does the new weather forecast model work?
A. It needs much less observational data. B. It uses supercomputers to deal with data.
C. It joins AI and the traditional method together. D. It depends on AI instead of the former way.
14. What can we say about the new weather forecast model?A. It runs easily. B. It is low-cost.
C. It doesn’t work as wished. D. It is geographically limited.
15. What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Climate Change and Its Effects on Africa
B. Uncertainty of Weather Forecast with AI
C. AI Helping Improve Weather Forecast
D. The Challenges of Traditional Weather Forecast Model
