It was Natinal Adptin Day. The pet stre was wrking with the Lexingtn Humane Sciety t find gd hmes fr abandned dgs and cats. After endless pleas (恳求) frm my sns, Mark and Luke, I decided t stp in.

Ohi had been my hme fr frty years, and I missed my parents, friends and the familiarity f hme.
Inside the pet stre, there were rws f cages filled with furry animals. I sptted urs immediately: a tw-year-ld female Jack Russell named Princess. I lked int her cage. She pushed her nse tward the cage, sniffed and then lwered her head. Trembling in her cage, she seemed unsure f her surrundings. I wndered if Princess felt that way when she’d been brught here, surrunded by peple she didn’t knw. Is that why she was shaking s hard? It made me want her.
“Let’s adpt her,” I said. My sns culdn’t cntain their excitement, “We want her!” My husband als agreed. After I filled ut the paperwrk, we tk Princess hme. She barely ate and didn’t bark the first few days, but gradually she relaxed.
One afternn, I was abut t dze ff (打盹) when I felt Princess jump n the bed. She was like a friend next t me. Actually, after adpting Princess, I felt better. While I still missed my parents and friends, I started making friends and visiting places in Kentucky.
When my sn Luke turned seven, we had a birthday party. While I was making the cupcakes, Princess settled n the flr next t me. She was taking in everything: the sunds f children laughing, the smell f fd and tw f my new friends sitting at the kitchen table. She lked arund and then up at me and wagged her tail. I thught it was her way f saying, “I’m finally hme” And yu knw what? She was right. We were bth hme.

Whenever Alyssa Bhart heard a vice frm her cmputer repeatedly- status alert, status alert—the search was n. The warning came frm a radar device installed in Churchill, Manitba—a mdified (改进的) military system prgrammed with artificial intelligence (AI) and trained t detect plar bears.
Over the past fur years, the nnprfit Plar Bears Internatinal (PBI) has led radar, r “bear-dar”, tests t hpefully help nrthern cmmunities stay safe. Plar bears are pwerful predatrs, and fr peple in the Arctic, an essential part f cexisting with bears is maintaining a respectful distance. But with climate changes reducing sea ice, plar bears cnflicts are spending mre time n land. The chances f plar bears and humans cnflicts are increasing, which can have terrible cnsequences fr bth parties.
The prject came int being when PBI was lking fr new ways t prevent human-plar bear cnflicts. A chance meeting with SptterRF, a cmpany that makes military radar devices, gave them an idea: maybe they culd use the radar system t detect plar bears heading tward twns and send ut an early warning.
In their initial tests, the researchers discvered that “the technlgy wrks great”, says Geff Yrk, FBI’s senir directr f cnservatin. “If anything, it detects t much.” The radar turned ut t send thusands f mtin alerts. S in 2020, the team turned t AI t try t narrw dwn the hits. “By incrprating this AI, we are truly teaching this radar t learn what a plar bear is,” says Alysa McCall, a staff scientist with PBI.
This past fall, the team psitively identified 28 plar bears and had 89 alerts that didn’t turn ut t be bears. McCall says their gals is t have mre psitive identificatins than negative. In rare events, the team nticed plar bears, either n the camera r in persn, that the bear-dar didn’t identify. In thse cases, the tw mst cnfusing variables fr the bear-dar were variatins in the bears’ sizes, and the directin the bears were walking in relatin t the radar. “We are nt quite there yet. But I think the results have prved we have a gd directin f where t g with the AI,” says MeCall.
5. What is PBI trying t d?
A. T prvide new hmes fr plar bears.
B. T help humans stay away frm plar bears.
C. T prtect plar bears with advanced technlgy.
D. T lk int the cause f human-plar bear cnflicts.
6. What was the prblem with PBI’s initial radar system?
A. It was ften damaged by plar bears.
B. It cst t much mney t perate well.
C. It sent ut unnecessary warning signals.
D. It needed much time t find the target.
7. Hw did McCall feel abut the test results?
A. Hpeless.B. disappinted.C. Cncerned.D. satisfied.
8. What can be the best title f the text?
A. AI des a great jb in plar bear cnservatin
B. Climate change intensifies human-bear cnflicts
C. Bear-dar warns humans f appraching plar bears
D. Plar bears pse a big threat t nrthern cmmunities
C
A few years ag, Ru, a retired esprts player f the vide game League f Legends, shuted ut “Uzi, YYDS”, when watching Uzi, anther Chinese prfessinal player, n a live bradcast.
YYDS, the pinyin abbreviatin (缩写) f the fur-Chinese-character expressin, literally meaning “eternal gd”, illustrates ne’s feeling fr smething r smene gdlike and exceptinal. The abbreviated slang (俚语) reached its peak f ppularity at the Tky Summer Olympics. Whenever a Chinese player wn gld at the Games, the vide was filled with YYDS bullet cmments.
Hwever the internet slang like “YYDS” has raised cncerns amng thse in educatin.
Cheng Xudng, an elementary schl teacher, says that the evlutin f the internet slang is nt all fun and carefree. Frm his daily bservatins, the bundary between the internet slang and frmal language is disappearing, as he has seen that his pupils’ cmpsitins are flded with abbreviated slangs.
“As a Chinese language teacher, I dn’t feel cmfrtable when I read these abbreviatins in their cmpsitins,” he says. “The misuse f hmphnes (同音异义词) is als causing a big headache, Ya is seen many times intentinally replaced by sme pupils using ne f the hmphnes that means ‘duck’,” he adds. “The sentence ‘I am s happy’ literally turns t ‘I am happy duck’ by using the hmphne.”
Hwever, many experts and schlars in linguistics believe that internet language is a natural prduct f the dynamic develpment f language, and it is nt necessary t prhibit it.
The pst 80s generatin despised the “Martian text (火星文)” used by thse f pst-90s back then, which replaced Chinese characters with substandard nes f freign scripts. Peple wh d nt knw hw t use it ften need t use an nline translatr t understand it. It was regarded as brain-disabled characters 10 years ag. But later, interestingly, the Martian text disappeared naturally and n ne is using it nwadays.
The evlutin f language reflects the develpment f the times as well as the current scial and cultural life psychlgy. In this sense, it is nt that this generatin f yung peple d nt speak “well”, but in fact, each generatin has a generatinal style f language, says nvelist Ma Byng, when addressing the phenmenn at an interview.
9. What des the authr want t shw by mentining YYDS?
A. The extensive use f Chinese internet slang.
B. The negative influence f Chinese internet slang,
C. The use f Chinese internet slang in vide games.
D The misunderstanding abut Chinese internet slang.
10. What is a matter f cncern accrding t Cheng Xudng?
A. Sme f his pupils use the internet slang at will.
B. Sme f his pupils cannt distinguish hmphnes.
C. Sme f his pupils cannt express themselves with right wrds.
D. Sme f his pupils make inapprpriate changes t the internet slang.
11. What des the underlined wrd “despised” in the last but ne paragraph prbably mean?
A. Thught highly f.B. Kept up with.
C. Lked dwn upn.D. Lked frward t.
12. What des Ma Byng think f Chinese internet slang?
A. Misleading.B. Meaningless.C. Beneficial.D. Acceptable.

It was the first week f Mia's middle schl. The bell's ringing brught her ut f her daydreaming. She nervusly gathered her bks, preparing t reach anther classrm fr the next new class.
Mia fllwed the ther kids and rushed int the hallway. Others walked in grups, chatted, and laughed, using the break t scialize. Mia, instead, walked alne alng the wall f the hallway, with her head dwn. She was a shy girl, afraid t speak in frnt f ther kids, and didn't think thers wuld like her.
Mia finally sat in Mr. Jhnsn's Language Arts class nervusly. “Welcme t Language Arts,” said Mr. Jhnsn. He tld jkes as he talked abut English. Mia frgt t daydream and laughed alng with the rest f the class. “We'll have sme fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.”
Fun was far beynd what Mia desired. She just wanted t be like ther kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and jking between classes. Reminded f her pimply（长粉刺的）face, she felt hpeless and disappinted.
“Take ut a piece f paper,” the teacher cntinued, when pinting at wrds n the blackbard. “Write fr the next thirty minutes n this tpic.” Mia began writing crazily as idea after idea fught fr recgnitin in her head. The final result was a shrt stry abut a beautiful beach huse. As she wrte, she culd smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull f the sand beneath her feet. Fr just a mment, she frgt where she was. She was lst in the stry.
“OK, pass yur papers frward,” said the teacher. “Let's see what we have.” Fr the rest f the class time, the teacher read each individual wrk alud. Mia riginally thught it wuld be awkward. Hwever, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher's vice. “He's actually enjying this,” she thught. When the class wuld be sn ver, there were still fifteen students' papers nt read, including Mia's paper. Then, Mr. Jhnsn annunced his decisin, asking these students t read their wrk themselves in frnt f the class next class.
