Jack Prelutsky is an American pet. He is knwn fr his humrus and fantastic petry fr children, which has earned him numerus awards.
Jack Prelutsky was brn in Brklyn, New Yrk in 1940. As a child, he did nt enjy petry, finding it bring and pintless. Instead, Prelutsky expressed his artistry thrugh music, taking vice and pian lessns. While Prelutsky claims he gt int petry almst by accident, he als states that he was always a pet. It just tk him sme time t realize his lve fr petry.
Prelutsky explred quite a few ptins befre he fund his niche in petry. He was a flk singer and guitar teacher in Greenwich Village in his late teens and early twenties. Prelutsky als held a variety f dd jbs. He wrked as a furniture mver, pian mver, taxicab driver, cal shveler, fruit picker, truck driver and phtgrapher, amng ther jbs.
At the age f 23, Prelutsky decided t try illustrating. Just befre presenting his illustratins t a children’s bk editr, he added a few lines f petry t the pictures. The editr tld him that the illustratins were nt publishable but the pems shwed the talent. Over the next mnths and years, Prelutsky wrked with the editr t create a cllectin f animal pems inspired by his lve f the Brnx Z. His first bk, entitled A Gpher in the Garden and Other Animal Pems, was published in 1967.
In additin t writing, Prelutsky has edited varius petry cllectins and translated petry frm German and Swedish int English. He currently resides in Seattle, where he writes and perfrms his wrk. Prelutsky is cnsidered ne f the mst ppular children’s pets. His wrk pineered a new era f children’s petry. In 2006, the Petry Fundatin named Jack Prelutsky the first Children’s Pet Laureate, a psitin designed t prmte petry fr children and raise awareness f the pwer and relevance f petry fr yung peple.
4．Why did Prelutsky dislike petry in his early years?
A. It was t difficult.B. He wasn’t gd at it.
C. He thught it meaningless.D. It tk up t much f his time.
5．Which f the fllwing can replace the underlined wrd “niche” in paragraph 3?
A. Mistake.B. DreamC. Cmprehensin.D. Interest.
6．Hw ld was Prelutsky when he published his first bk?
A. 23.B. 27.C. 40.D. 66.

Imagine a schl where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless f lcatins. Imagine a schl where children can g n safe field trips t the Amazn rainfrest r Everest base camp. Well, such schls are already being built: in virtual reality(VR).
Last mnth, Optima Academy Online (OAO) was launched in Flrida and started t deliver curses fr elementary, middle and high schls and 170 full-time students frm all ver the state signed up. They used VR headsets fr abut three hurs a day fr frmal lessns and then d curse wrk independently with digital check-ins.
It is wrth watching hw such educatinal experiments develp. Used prperly, the VR technlgy can help students t access learning resurces and be cnnected with fellw students and teachers all ver the wrld. But if emplyed prly, it will have the ppsite effect and turn a digital inequality int an educatinal ne.
There is grwing evidence t suggest that it is happening. In Mexic, accrding t a survey, nly 24% f 15-year-ld students in pr schls have access t hme cmputers fr schlwrk cmpared with 87% in rich nes. As reprted in anther study, sme students in nrthern England have been frced t travel arund n the Greater Manchester train netwrk r camp ut arund McDnald’s t access free WiFi because they cannt d their schlwrk at hme.
“VR technlgies will be widely used in educatin. The nly questins are: fr what purpse and at what speed?” says Beeban Kidrn, a member f the UK’s Digital Futures Cmmissin. “The truble is that they are t ften seen as a shiny new ty that will slve all prblems and save mney rather than being viewed as a means t enrich learning.”
The inescapable truth is that there is nthing that can replace teachers educating students in safe schls—ideally, with access t well-designed technlgical platfrms. Leaving children in their bedrms with just VR headsets and n physical scial interactin with ther kids will fill-many f them—and their parents—with hrrr.
8．What des the authr intend t d in paragraph 1?
A. Lead in the subject fr discussin.
B. Prvide sme advice fr the readers.
C. Shw the advantages f VR headsets.
D. Intrduce an unsuccessful nline schl.
9．Why d thse students travel n trains r camp ut arund McDnald’s?
A. T relax themselves.B. T enrich their learning.
C. T make their study funD. T get free WiFi service.
10．Accrding t Beeban Kidrn, VR technlgies___________.
A. will replace traditinal learningB. are the future f educatin
C. will becme a very helpful tlD. are a means t save mney
11．Which wrd can best describe the authr’s attitude t OAO?
A. SupprtiveB. Disapprving.C. Dubtful.D. Unclear.
A recent research suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) culd hld the ptential fr predicting sudden cardiac (心脏的) death and assessing an individual’s risk t ptentially prevent future deaths. This develpment may mark a nvel step twards preventin and glbal health strategies.
Prfessr Xavier Juven, lead authr f the study, said, “Sudden cardiac death, a public health burden, represents 10% t 20% f verall deaths. Predicting it is difficult, and the usual appraches fail t identify high-risk peple, particularly at an individual level. We prpsed a new apprach.”
The scientific team emplyed AI t analyze medical data btained frm registries and databases in Paris, France and Seattle. They examined recrds f 25,000 individuals wh had experienced sudden cardiac arrest and cmpared them with data frm 70,000 peple frm the general ppulatin. The matching prcess invlved age, sex and residential area. Using AI, the scientists created abut 25,000 persnalized health mdels t evaluate the data and identify individuals at high risk f sudden cardiac death. Additinally, they established a risk file fr each participant in the study.
The AI analysis was able t identify peple wh had mre than 90% f risk dying suddenly, and it can predict abut mre than ne-furth f all cases f sudden cardiac death. “We have been wrking fr almst 30 years in the field f sudden cardiac death predictin. Hwever, we did nt expect t reach such a high level f accuracy,” said Juven, wh is the funder f the Paris Sudden Death Expertise Center.
Juven added. “While dctrs have efficient treatments, the use f AI is necessary t detect in a given subject a successin f medical infrmatin registered ver the years. We hpe that with a persnalized list f risk factrs, patients will be able t wrk with their clinicians t reduce thse risk factrs and ultimately decrease the ptential fr sudden cardiac death.”
12．What can be knwn abut sudden cardiac death?
A. It is hard t predict and prevent.
B. Researchers still can d nthing abut it.
C. It accunts fr the highest percentage f all deaths.
D. Old appraches can effectively identify its high-risk peple.
13．What des paragraph 3 mainly talk abut cncerning the research?
A. Its result.B. Its prcess.C. Its purpse.D. Its participants.
14．Hw des Juven feel abut the AI analysis?
A. Wrried.B. Amazed.C. Annyed.D. Disappinted.
15．What is the best title fr the text?
A. The Biggest AI Develpment in 2024B. Using AI t Stp Future Cardiac Attack
C. Imprved Predictin f Death in PatientsD. Predicting Sudden Cardiac Death Using AI
二、七选五
