AI, r artificial intelligence, has becme increasingly ppular in everyday life. Prgrammers cde and “train” cmputers t perfrm tasks that nrmally require human intelligence, such as visual recgnitin, artificial speech, and prblem slving. AI algrithms(算法)wrk behind the scenes t custmize ads and cntent nline, and natural language prcessrs interact and respnd with users in a cnversatinal manner. AI chatbts are nw widely available and can be used fr a variety f purpses .
One example f an AI that may help prtect individuals is “Take It Dwn”, a prgram develped by Meta t help teenagers remve unauthrized phts frm the internet. While there are cncerns abut AI prgrams cllecting data and invading privacy, AI autmatin can save time and imprve efficiency in many areas, including this task that wuld therwise take hurs t perfrm manually.
The current generatin f AI chatbts still face limitatins in fully simulating human emtins and attending t subtle variatins f language cues in human cnversatins. The prblems result frm AI develpers’ preference f language chices. They must cntinue t wrk n imprving AI prcessing and linguistics fr a mre humanized apprach.
AI may als change hw we apprach educatin and tutring. AI tutring prgrams and AI-assisted mental health services culd prvide 24/7 accessibility fr students and persnalized assessments fr academic, behaviral, and mental health issues. Hwever, cncerns remain ver the ptential misuse f AI technlgy fr cheating and plagiarism in academic settings.
Despite cncerns abut privacy and the sci-fi idea f AI rbts taking ver, AI will cntinue t pen up new discveries in all aspects f life. This technlgy carries bth risks and benefits, but if used with care, it can bring psitive develpments while aviding risks t livelihds and privacy.
28.What is the main purpse f “Take It Dwn”?
A. T perfrm tasks autmatically.B. T prtect individuals’ privacy.
C. T imprve wrk efficiency.D. T cllect persnal infrmatin.
29.AI technlgy can d the fllwing EXCEPT
A. prviding mental health services.B. custmizing ads and cntent nline.
C. fully simulating human emtins.D. assessing academic achievements.
30.What des the underlined wrd “plagiarism” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Cpying.B. Writing.C. Imprving.D. Prtecting.
31.What is the authr’s attitude t the ppularizatin f artificial intelligence?
A. Neutral.B. Tlerant.C. Negative.D. Favrable.

In the midst f an already recrd-breaking heat wave, Phenix, Arizna, set a particularly eye-ppping recrd: the temperature nly drpped t 97 degrees Fahrenheit vernight between Tuesday and Wednesday, setting an all-time recrd high fr a nighttime lw. When temperatures stay high vernight, they place a particularly heavy burden n the bdy, raising the risk f heat illness and death.
The U.S. —and the wrld—has seen a spate f extreme heat s far this year, including the planet’s httest-ever June and httest week n recrd during the first week f July. Rising glbal temperatures frm burning fssil fuels are the main driver f mre frequent and mre intense heat waves. And an El Niñ event is als bsting glbal temperatures this year.
A heat dme has been in place fr weeks ver the U.S. Suthwest and Texas, and it has fueled many heat recrds. Phenix has nw seen 20 days in a rw with a daytime high f 110 degrees F r higher, a recrd that is likely t cntinue fr several mre days. A heat dme is an area f high pressure that parks ver a regin. High-pressure ridges, as they are als called, feature sinking air, which cmpresses and heats up. These ridges’ typical clear skies als allw the sun’s rays t beat dwn n the grund, further raising temperatures.
Prlnged heat extremes pse a majr public health threat because heat is the number-ne weather-related killer in the U.S.; it causes mre human deaths than hurricanes, trnades and flds cmbined. Heat can cause dehydratin, which leads the bld t thicken and makes the heart pump harder. That rgan and thers can be damaged by t much expsure t heat.
The saring, triple-digit high daily temperatures grab the headlines, and they definitely are a cncern—but when temperatures nly drp int the 80s and 90s at night, the bdy desn’t get a chance t cl dwn. This is particularly a cncern fr thse wh lack air-cnditining, including unhused ppulatins. And heat is especially a health risk fr the very yung, the elderly and thse with preexisting health cnditins such as asthma and heart disease.
32.What can be inferred frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. Extreme temperatures can cause damage t ur hearts.
B. Burning fssil fuels cntributes t the httest-ever June and July.
C. El Nin is the dminant cause f saring glbal temperature.
D. The temperature at night has reached a recrd high in Phenix, Arizna.
33.What is a heat dme accrding t the passage?
A. It’s a weather phenmenn that cntributes t high temperatures.
B. It’s a peak that the lw pressure shuld reach.
C. It’s the damage caused by t much expsure t heat.
D. It’s the extra heat trapped in the sinking air.
34.Accrding t the passage, what’s the influence high vernight temperature has n humans?
A. It is the tp ne killer in America.
B. Expsure t heat cntributes t heart diseases.
C. Human rgans might be impaired.
D. Peple accmmdate t 80s and 90s Fahrenheit at night.
35.What’s the passage mainly talking abut?
A. Saring temperatures are hitting the headlines.
B. Ht vernight temperatures threaten human health.
C. A new eye ppping vernight lw recrd is set.
D. Glbal heat waves are causing cncerns.
