Streete, wh grew up in Jamaica and came t England in 1967, had a way f dealing with it: “Just put a smile n yur face,” she says. “If yu let bad wrds int yur brain, it will nly cause yu mre harm.”
The 81-year-ld remembers ne instance f abuse.
Streete says: “The sister wh was managing the ward (病房) tried t calm a wman dwn. But I tld the sister t let her say what she has t say. I dn’t mind.”
The next night, Streete nticed the wman’s blanket had fallen ff. She replaced it, telling the patient in a lw vice exactly what she was ding and why. The same thing happened the next night, and the next. “But then, the night that I was ff duty, that same wman asked the sister: ‘Where is that black lady? I dn’t want anyne else t lk after me while she is n duty. She was s kind.’”

Her preference fr night shifts hasn’t changed, either. She frequently stays n after her shift is finished, t spend time with residents.
She urges thse cnsidering a career in care t think hard abut why they’re chsing it. “Smetimes, peple are nt happy because they dn’t want t d the jb — they have t d it, because there is n ther way. Wanting t d it is very different frm having t d it.”
But the key quality a care wrker needs, she says, is patience, “Sme peple like t d everything quick-quick-quick, but yu have t take yur time with residents. I just try t treat everybdy the way I wuld like t be treated.”

Artificial intelligence (AI) is shwing prmise in earthquake predictin, challenging the lng-held belief that it is impssible. Researchers at the University f Texas, Austin, have develped an AI algrithm (算法) that crrectly predicted 70% f earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and prvided accurate strength calculatins fr the predicted earthquakes.
The research team believes their methd succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning apprach. The AI was prvided with a set f statistical features based n the team’s knwledge f earthquake physics, and then instructed t train itself using a five-year database f earthquake recrdings. Once trained, the AI prvided its predictin by listening fr signs f incming earthquakes within the backgrund rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.
This wrk is clearly a milestne in research fr AI-driven earthquake predictin. “Yu dn’t see earth-quakes cming,” explains Alexandrs Savvaidis, a senir research scientist wh leads the Texas Seismlgical Netwrk Prgram (TexNet). “It’s a matter f millisecnds, and the nly thing yu can cntrl is hw prepared yu are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and culd help minimize ecnmic and human lsses and has the ptential t remarkably imprve earthquake preparatin wrldwide.”
While it is unknwn whether the same apprach will wrk at ther lcatins, the researchers are cnfident that their AI algrithm culd prduce mre accurate predictins if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking netwrks. The next step is t test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earth-quake statins and ver six years wrth f cntinuus recrds, making it an ideal lcatin fr these purpses.
Eventually, the authrs hpe t cmbine the system with physics-based mdels. This strategy culd prve especially imprtant where data is pr r lacking. “That may be a lng way ff, but many advances such as this ne, taken tgether, are what mves science frward,” cncludes Sctt Tinker, the bureau’s directr.
12. Hw des the AI frecast earthquakes?
A. By identifying data frm the satellites.
B. By analyzing backgrund sunds in the Earth.
C. By mdeling data based n earthquake recrdings.
D. By mnitring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field.
13. What des Alexandrs Savvaidis intend t shw in paragraph 3?
A. The ways t reduce lsses in earthquakes.
B. The imprtance f preparing fr earthquakes.
C. The significance f develping the AI predictin.
D. The limitatin f AI algrithms in earthquake predictin.
14. What will the fllw-up research fcus n?
A. Cnducting tests in different lcatins.
B. Applying the AI apprach t ther fields.
C. Building mre earthquake statins in Texas.
D. Enlarging the database t train the calculatin accuracy.
15. Which wrds can best describe the earthquake-predicting technlgy?
A. Stable but utdated.B. Effective but cstly.
C. Ptential and ecnmical.D. Pineering and prmising.

I was cnfident at the auditin (试演) fr the schl play and felt pleased t get a rle. It just felt gd t be in the play, even if I had nly fur r five lines. I wrked hard at perfecting thse lines.

When Jenny Streete began caring fr lder peple mre than 50 years ag, prejudice was part f her everyday wrking life. Streete, wh grew up in Jamaica and came t England in 1967, had a way f dealing with it: “Just put a smile n yur face,” she says. “If yu let bad wrds int yur brain, it will nly cause yu mre harm.”
The 81-year-ld remembers ne instance f abuse.
Streete says: “The sister wh was managing the ward (病房) tried t calm a wman dwn. But I tld the sister t let her say what she has t say. I dn’t mind.”
The next night, Streete nticed the wman’s blanket had fallen ff. She replaced it, telling the patient in a lw vice exactly what she was ding and why. The same thing happened the next night, and the next. “But then, the night that I was ff duty, that same wman asked the sister: ‘Where is that black lady? I dn’t want anyne else t lk after me while she is n duty. She was s kind.’”
Brught up by her grandparents, Streete fund her vcatin after a mystery illness that nearly killed her, and left her with permanently damaged visin. She gt better, she says, because f “lving care and tenderness”. When she came t England, she was determined t give that care t thers.
And Streete hpes t carry n caring fr lder peple as lng as pssible — althugh, she says, her children are urging her t retire. She currently wrks tw nights a week in an end-f-life ward which prvides specialist nursing. Many f the peple she lks after are nw a similar age t her.
Her preference fr night shifts hasn’t changed, either. She frequently stays n after her shift is finished, t spend time with residents.
She urges thse cnsidering a career in care t think hard abut why they’re chsing it. “Smetimes, peple are nt happy because they dn’t want t d the jb — they have t d it, because there is n ther way. Wanting t d it is very different frm having t d it.”
But the key quality a care wrker needs, she says, is patience, “Sme peple like t d everything quick-quick-quick, but yu have t take yur time with residents. I just try t treat everybdy the way I wuld like t be treated.”

Artificial intelligence (AI) is shwing prmise in earthquake predictin, challenging the lng-held belief that it is impssible. Researchers at the University f Texas, Austin, have develped an AI algrithm (算法) that crrectly predicted 70% f earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and prvided accurate strength calculatins fr the predicted earthquakes.
The research team believes their methd succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning apprach. The AI was prvided with a set f statistical features based n the team’s knwledge f earthquake physics, and then instructed t train itself using a five-year database f earthquake recrdings. Once trained, the AI prvided its predictin by listening fr signs f incming earthquakes within the backgrund rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.
This wrk is clearly a milestne in research fr AI-driven earthquake predictin. “Yu dn’t see earth-quakes cming,” explains Alexandrs Savvaidis, a senir research scientist wh leads the Texas Seismlgical Netwrk Prgram (TexNet). “It’s a matter f millisecnds, and the nly thing yu can cntrl is hw prepared yu are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and culd help minimize ecnmic and human lsses and has the ptential t remarkably imprve earthquake preparatin wrldwide.”
While it is unknwn whether the same apprach will wrk at ther lcatins, the researchers are cnfident that their AI algrithm culd prduce mre accurate predictins if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking netwrks. The next step is t test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earth-quake statins and ver six years wrth f cntinuus recrds, making it an ideal lcatin fr these purpses.
Eventually, the authrs hpe t cmbine the system with physics-based mdels. This strategy culd prve especially imprtant where data is pr r lacking. “That may be a lng way ff, but many advances such as this ne, taken tgether, are what mves science frward,” cncludes Sctt Tinker, the bureau’s directr.
12. Hw des the AI frecast earthquakes?
A. By identifying data frm the satellites.
B. By analyzing backgrund sunds in the Earth.
C. By mdeling data based n earthquake recrdings.
D. By mnitring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field.
13. What des Alexandrs Savvaidis intend t shw in paragraph 3?
A. The ways t reduce lsses in earthquakes.
B. The imprtance f preparing fr earthquakes.
C. The significance f develping the AI predictin.
D. The limitatin f AI algrithms in earthquake predictin.
14. What will the fllw-up research fcus n?
A. Cnducting tests in different lcatins.
B. Applying the AI apprach t ther fields.
C. Building mre earthquake statins in Texas.
D. Enlarging the database t train the calculatin accuracy.
15. Which wrds can best describe the earthquake-predicting technlgy?
A. Stable but utdated.B. Effective but cstly.
C. Ptential and ecnmical.D. Pineering and prmising.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了用AI辅助生成的西游记视频片段取得了巨大成功。如果人工制作此类视频大概需要六个月，但是利用AI辅助制作仅需要一周左右。
【36题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意：近日，一位来自四川、昵称为“人工智能疯狂屋”的博主在网络上发布了一部由人工智能生成的《西游记》动画短片。分析句子可知，release在句子里充当谓语，其主语是“A blgger”；全文都为一般过去时，故答案是released。
【37题详解】
考查介词搭配。句意：近日，一位来自四川、昵称为“人工智能疯狂屋”的博主在网络上发布了一部由人工智能生成的《西游记》动画短片。横线后是Internet（因特网），“在网上”的英文是“n the Internet”，故答案是n。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：这部电影以其视觉效果震撼了网友，也为经典作品在影视中的呈现开辟了新的可能。pssibility是可数名词，意思是“可能性”，其形容词是pssible；横线前没有冠词，可判断应该使用其复数形式，故答案是pssibilities。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：通过深度学习和创新技术，人工智能重新诠释了这部中国文学名著，为观众带来了令人惊叹的视觉效果和情感体验。分析句子可知，本句已经存在谓语reinterpreted，所以deliver在句子里需要转化为非谓语动词，其逻辑主语是AI，二者呈主动关系，应该使用现在分词形式，故答案是delivering。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：他表示，这段手动制作至少需要六个月的视频，在人工智能的帮助下只花了一周时间就完成了。横线后是完整句子，横线前是名词vide，可判断本句是定语从句。先行词是vide，在从句中充当主语，而且本句是带逗号的非限定性定语从句，不可以使用that，故答案是which。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他还解释了用人工智能生成视频的步骤。分析句子可知，本句已经存在谓语explained，所以generate需要转化为非谓语的形式；可判断横线是用来修饰steps的后置定语，修饰steps需要使用t d的形式，故答案是t generate。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：以《西游记》第一集为例。example是可数名词，意思是“例子”，本句使用了固定搭配“take sth. as an example”，意思是“拿……举个例子”，故答案是an。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：他提到了使用ChatGPT来分析原文，完成故事板规划，使用人工智能绘画软件进行绘图，然后使用“图片转视频”软件对图像进行动画化。分析句子可知，横线前后并列了四个动词，分别是analyze, cmplete, use和emply，根据语法规则，多个动词并列，需要在最后两个动词之间添加连词。根据句意，并列关系可以使用连词and，故答案是and。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：这些过程一般会产生大量的初稿。general是形容词，意思是“一般的”，分析句子可知，横线在句子里修饰动词prduce，所以需要使用副词，故答案是generally。
【45题详解】
考查固定句型。句意：目前，人工智能很难理解我的意思。本句符合句型“it is + adj. + fr sb. + t d”，意思是“做某事对某人来说是……的”，故答案是t understand。
