With light brwn eyes and jet-black hair, my mm is my favrite hell and mst difficult gdbye. Fr as lng as I can remember, she has been my idl. While wrking as a judge, she is in pursuit f justice fr thers. As a mther, friend, and wman, hwever, she shws a sfter side. Her actins shw sensitivity, ptimism, and kindness unlike any ther I have ever knwn.
As an nly child, I never received the gift f a sibling (兄弟姐妹) with whm I culd share laughs, secrets, r knwing glances frm acrss a rm. The lder I’ve gt, the mre I have realized I never needed a sibling, anyway.
Back hme, my mm and I wuld wake and have a quick breakfast tgether, and leave fr Jersey City — she is ff t wrk and I went t schl. Regardless f cld weather, heavy traffic, r my anxius stmach ache prir t a day f exams, we always had fun. She wuld tell jkes and we wuld laugh. With her infectius smile and cnfident attitude, my mm managed t turn every sad mrning f mine int a better day.
Nw that I am at Rchester, we are separated by nearly 400 miles f slping highway. I n lnger have the chance f lking ut a classrm windw and seeing her ffice building standing tall a mile away. Mving away frm hme was a majr shift — and nt just because f my new suburban rented rm, minimized fd ptins, and much bitter winters.
When I am missing my mm especially, I recall the wrds she tld me when I wuld cry as a yung girl: a line frm her favrite pem, by authr E. E. Cummings.
“I carry yur heart with me; I carry it in my heart,” she’d smile, wiping away my tears.
As I reflect upn that sentence, I can see that there is a piece f my mm with me wherever I g. I guess thse 400 miles between the tw f us isn’t s distant, after all.

C. She was ld enugh t live alne.D. She was cntent with her mther’s cmpany.
6. What can we infer abut the authr’s life at Rchester?
A. It is bring.B. It is tugh.C. It is unbearable.D. It is unexpected.
7. What is the main idea fr the text?
A. Fun life f my mther.B. Pems fr my mther and me.

C
After waking up, yu may feel frustrated that yu cannt recall the dreams yu had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able t help.
Previusly, there have been AI mdels that can turn text int images. They can d this by learning frm a large amunt f data frm bth tests and images. This time, researchers frm Osaka University in Japan have trained an AIsystem called Stable Diffusin t re-create images based n peple’s brain scans, reprted Science magazine.
The researchers used an nline data set prvided by the University f Minnesta, US which cnsisted f brain scans frm fur participants as they each viewed a set f 10,000 phts The scans were recrded by functinal magnetic resnance imaging (fMRI功能性磁共振成像).
The AI then learned abut the brain activities by analyzing changes in bld flw shwn by the fMRI data — when a part f the brain is activated, mre bld will flw t it. It then matched the brain activities with the phts. Thrugh this methd, AI learned hw human brains wuld react when seeing different phts.
Finally, the researchers tested the Al n additinal brain scans frm the same participants when they viewed phts f a ty bear, airplane, clck and train. If the persn lked at an airplane, fr example, the Al wuld use the brain scan data t create an image f a very blurry airplane. Then, it wuld turn n the previus “text-t-image” mdel and make the image clearer by feeding itself the keywrd “airplane”, The final images were “cnvincing” with abut 80 percent f accuracy, accrding t the researchers.
The new study created a nvel apprach that incrprates texts and images t “decipher (解码) the brain”, Ariel Gldstein frm Princetn University, US, tld Science magazine. In the future, scientists hpe that the technlgy can be used t recrd imagined thughts and dreams r allw peple t understand hw differently ther animals perceive reality.
8. What d we knw abut Stable Diffusin?
A. It can help train peple’s minds.
B It can fully present peple’s dreams.
C. It was created t draw peple’s brains.
D. It can prduce pictures frm peple’s thughts.
9. Hw did the Al system learn abut human brain activity?
A. By recrding brain scans frm participants.
B. By analyzing descriptins f human thughts
C. By studying patterns f bld flw in the brain.
D. By examining 10,000 phts abut human brains.
10 What des the underlined wrd “blurry” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Unclear.B. Striking.C. Factual.D. Unusual.
11. What is the ptential use f this technlgy accrding t scientists?
A. T help understand ur dreams.B. T imprve text-t-image mdels.
C. T create mre accurate brain scans.D. T learn hw animals view the wrld.

Lndn-based startup Brilliant Planet has rented 6,100 hectares f land in suthern Mrcc, situated between the Atlantc Ocean and the Sahara. And it’s using it t grw algae (藻类), which absrbs atmspheric carbn dixide and sends ut xygen.
Brilliant Planet’s CEO Adam Taylr says the cmpany has develped a way t grw algae at extreme rates starting in a glass cup in a lab and ending in 12,000-square-meter pls f lcally-surced seawater. The algae is btained frm the water then pumped up a 10-stry twer and sprayed int the desert air. In the 30 secnds r s it takes t reach the grund, ht air dries the bimass (生物质) ut, leaving hypersaline (超盐的) algae pieces which can be cllected and shallw buried, sequestering (使隔绝) their carbn fr thusands f years.
“Nature-based slutins are a great way f remving carbn,” Taylr said. “Deserts are an underused envirnment. It des nt cst a lt f mney t rent the desert. What’s mre, yu’re nt cmpeting with farms r frests. Yu’re ut f the way, nt bthering peple.”
Taylr claims that Brilliant Planet’s slutin can permanently remve 30 times mre carbn dixide frm the atmsphere per hectare per year than a typical Eurpean frest. Brilliant Planet’s gal is t remve ne millin metric tns f carbn dixide per year by the end f the decade.“Glbally, we’ve identified abut half a millin square kilmeters f flat desert-cean land where it wrks,” Taylr said, adding that the cmpany hpes t set up in Namibia next.
Fatna Ikrame El Fanne, an envirnmental engineer, described the use f algae as “a new and prmising strategy” that “is a typical example f innvative use f natural prcess t address an urgent glbal issue.” Nevertheless, she expressed cautin. “Micralgae prductin n a large scale might damage lcal ecsystems, lead t veruse f water resurces, and change habitats,” she said.
There’s an acknwledgement that ne cmpany can’t d it all — and can’t g it alne. “We are part f a grup f prbably 40 t 50 wnderful ideas f hw peple can remve carbn frm the atmsphere,” Taylr said, calling fr “a Manhattan Prject-type attitude” t tackling carbn capture. Whether algae is the slutin the wrld needs remains t be seen. But the idea’s grwing n peple.
12. What des Paragraph 2 mainly tell us abut Brilliant Planet?
A. Its establishment f an algae plant.
B. Its methd f grwing algae.
C. Its prcess f carbn capture.
D. Its daily rutine in the desert.
13. What advantage did Taylr highlight abut using deserts fr carbn remval?
A. Huge prfits.
B. High temperature.
C. N ccupatin f rich land.
D. N bidiversity cncerns.
14. What can be inferred abut the use f algae frm El Fanne’s wrds?
A. It needs imprving.
B. It is highly efficient.
C. It is nt wrth prmting.
D. It is cmmercially develped.
15. Why is “a Manhattan Prject- type attitude” mentined in the last paragraph?
A. T highlight the challenges f carbn remval.
B. T recgnize the cntributins f Brilliant Planet.
C. T prve the effectiveness f nature-based slutins.
D. T emphasize the necessity f jint effrts.
