Many peple are fnd f vlcanes, but few are willing t be faced with extremely high temperatures by themselves. Hwever, Katia and Maurice, a French cuple, are the exceptin. Over the last cuple f decades, they have fllwed eruptins and apprached dangerus lava(岩浆) and pisnus gases, dcumenting their discveries with amazing phtgraphy and mind-blwing imagery.
The cuple met by chance n a bench at the university f Strasburg in 1960s, and sn they frmed a bnd thrugh the shared fascinatin fr vlcanes. On graduating, they devted themselves t varius pursuits f vlcanic bservatin withut any financial supprt. They hit the rad with limited budget and pure lve fr fire.
The jurney has been full f danger and excitement. In rder t get the precius first-hand infrmatin, they risked their lives t brave the heat and falling rcks, getting clser t the danger than anyne else. Cnsequently, they have phtgraphed the eruptin f many vlcanes up-clse and persnal, such as the At Umari Vlcan and the Cape Clumbia Vlcan. These incredible set f phtgraphs attracted public fficials'. attentin, which later helped the cuple t acquire gvernment funds t visit hundreds, if nt thusands, f vlcanes all ver the glbe.
In June 1991, alng with 40 ther peple, the cuple set ut t film the eruptin at Munt Unzen in Japan. Unfrtunately, Katia and Maurice lst their lives as they were researching ptential vlcanic events t warn peple in the area t evacuate (撤离). Later investigatin revealed that Katia's and Maurice's bdies were clsest t the vlcan crater.
In 2022, their stry was adapted int a dcumentary called Fire f Lve by Sara Dsa, an award-winning directr. And ne f the audience cmmented, “I was fascinated by the achievement f the cuple. This was all dne befre the arrival f drnes(无人机) and remte sensrs which are used tday t study vlcanes.”
24. What distinguishes the French cuple frm ther vlcan lvers?
A. They were well-educated vlcan experts.
B. They were willing t put themselves at risk.
C. They were skillful at taking pictures f vlcanes.
D. They successfully avided being hurt by lava and gases.
25. What did the cuple d alng their vlcan jurney?
A. They attempted t save lives frm future vlcanic events.
B. They required the financial supprt frm the gvernment.
C. They were clser t At Umari Vlcan than anybdy else.
D. They recrded the whle jurney t make it int a dcumentary.
26. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?

B. The cuple invented drnes and remte sensrs fr research.
C. The cuple lived in an era that lacked advanced tech-prducts.
D. The cuple were mre capable than drnes and remte sensrs.

Having picked up a call frm a number she did nt recgnize, Jennie unexpectedly heard what sunded like her daughter crying fr help, alng with the vice f an unknwn and threatening man. But while she kept the man n the phne, her friends managed t reach her daughter, discvering that she was, in fact, free and well n a skiing trip in Arizna. The vice used n the phne was clned(克隆).
While peple have paid much attentin t large-language mdels like ChatGPT, there is als a heated discussin abut ptential threats psed by vice-clning, a technlgy that can be trained t speak any given text sunding like that persn, which might result in “vice crimes”.
Take Eleven Labs, an AI start-up, as an example. It ffers users the chance t create their wn clnes in minutes and the results are shckingly accurate. The system allws users t chse between variability and stability. Select “variability”, and the vice will have a lifelike intnatin(语调), including pauses like “er…”. Chse “stability” (稳定性), and it will cme acrss mre like a calm newsreader wh will nt be affected by emtins.
Vice clning's influences will be huge. Fr several years, custmers have been able t identify themselves ver the phne via bank's vice recgnitin sftware. Even a gifted mimic(巧于模仿的人) culd nt fl the detectin system. But nw banks are frced t adapt in rder t prevent crime r misuse.
The ther industry that will have t deal with the rise f clnes is jurnalism. Nw wh will trust a stry based n an audi clip(音频)? The term “fake news” had existed lng befre vice clning. Nw, mre peple caught in a crime are likely t defend themselves “It wasn't me.” It is hard t prve that a clip is genuine and perhaps impssible. Jurnalists will need t shw hw they btained and stred audi files.
28. What des the first paragraph serve as?
A. A cmment. B. A prf.
C. An explanatin. D. An intrductin.
29. What can we learn abut ElevenLabs' prduct frm the text?

C. It can be adjusted t express required emtins.
D. It can prduce as many vices as pssible in minutes.
30. Which f the fllwing is mst likely t happen in Jurnalism accrding t the text?
A. Vice clning will be increasingly used in Jurnalism.
B. Peple n lnger trust the stry reprted by jurnalists.
C. Jurnalists tend t facilitate a wider adptin f vide news.
D. The jurnalism will defend itself against negative cmments.
31. What des the authr want t cnvey thrugh the text?
A. Clned vices are changing the jurnalism.
B. AI technlgies d harm t peple's safety.
C. Peple shuld make the mst f vice clning.
D. Vice clning raises cncerns abut its ptential risk.

Parrts have lng been knwn fr their remarkable cgnitive ( 认 知的) ability and exceptinally lng lives. Nevertheless, it remains a secret whether the tw features have impact n each ther. “The prblem has led t gd quality data,” says Simen Smeele, a dctral student at the Max Planck Institute f Animal Behavir, wh leads the study with the intentin f slving the mystery and gaining a better understanding f parrts.
T generate a sufficient amunt f sample size, Simen Smeele teamed up with Species360, a zlgical infrmatin management rganizatin. Tgether, they gathered data frm ver 130,000 individual parrts surced frm ver 1,000 zs. This database allwed the team t gain the first reliable statistics f average life span f 217 parrts species ——representing ver half f all knwn species.
The analysis revealed that the average life expectancy f parrts is up t.30 years, which is extremely rare in birds f this size. “Sme parrt species have a maximum lifespan f ver80 years, which is a respectable age even fr humans. This is really spectacular if yu cnsider that a human male weights abut 100 times mre,” says Smeele.
Next, the team cmbined the data and ran mdels t determine whether r nt parrts' cgnitin had an influence n their lng lives. The results shwed the link between increased brain size and lnger lifespans in parrts. Because brain size can be an indicatr fr intelligence, the findings suggest that parrts with relatively large brains had cgnitive capabilities that allwed them t deal with threats in the wild that culd therwise kill them, resulting in a lnger lngevity.
In the future, the team plans t explre if sciability and cultural learning in parrts might cntribute t lng life expectancy as well. Smeele says, “Large-brained birds might spend mre time scially learning fd-searching techniques that have been arund fr multiple generatins. This increased learning perid culd ptentially explain the lnger life spans, as it takes mre time but als makes the fd-searching techniques mre adaptive.”
32. What made Simen Smeele want t research n parrts?
A. The necessity f gaining useful data.
B. The awareness f parrts' lng lives.
C. The eagerness t learn mre abut parrts.
D. The mtivatin t prmte parrts' cgnitin.
33. What des the underlined wrd “spectacular” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Beneficial. B. Impressive.
C. Memrable. D. Suspicius.
34. What d the research findings suggest?
A. Larger brains make parrts mre adaptable in the wild.
B. Parrts’ intelligence depends largely n their brain size.
C. Parrts increase chance f survival by killing ther animals.
D. Parrts with larger brains spend lnger time searching fr fd.
35. Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. Parrts Are Famus fr Lngevity
B. Lng Lived Parrts Remain a Secret
C. The Secret f Parrts' Lng Lifespan
D. Large-brained Parrts Have Cgnitin
