In December，the intense cold turns dripping water into ice within seconds.Yet，63-year-old Ren Jianguo gets up early before 5 am every morning to sprinkle （撒） 150 kilograms of corn on the river banks to make sure thousands of migratory birds have enough energy to make it through the winter.Over the past 26 years，Ren has been one of many volunteers protecting migratory birds on Changbai Island，where local residents label him as "Uncle Bird".
For Ren himself，a cottage near the riverbank has almost become his "second home"，a place from which he can observe the dynamics of the birds，provide help for injured birds，educate the public about bird conservation and，after a long day of work，light a fire and enjoy a warm meal.Winter is the busiest time for Uncle Bird.When the harsh season makes it difficult for birds to find food，he calls for donations or sometimes even pays for the food himself to guarantee their survival during the winter. "I simply want this to be a warm and welcoming place for birds when they choose to stay here for a temporary rest，" he said.
A report in 2021 shows that many migratory birds have changed their habit of just passing through China as they head to the Pacific Ocean or South Asia for the winter.Instead，more and more are choosing to spend winter within China's wetlands.However，when Ren settled in the city in the 1990s，only hundreds of migratory birds would come every winter.Since then，China has stepped up protection of wetlands and nature reserves by introducing new regulations and high technology.
"Thirty years ago，it was impossible to see more than 8，000 birds together in the urban area.But now，thousands of the birds attract an increasing number of tourists every year.As long as they choose to stay in this city，there should be people to take care of them.However tough it is，I will stick to my choice and try to raise public awareness，" Ren said.
4. Why is winter the busiest time for Mr.Ren？ ______
A. He has to receive more tourists.
B. He must treat more injured birds.
C. He needs to feed more migratory birds.
D. He is more engaged in observing birds.
5. What causes the change in the birds' migrating habit according to the text？ ______
A. Long distance. B. High technology.
C. Food shortage. D. Improved environment.
6. Which can be a suitable title for the text？ ______
A. Migratory Birds Boost Tourism
B. "Uncle Bird" Devoted to Bird Protection
C. Great Achievements in Wildlife Protection
D. Environmental Impacts on Bird Migration

28. Do you know that it only takes an algorithm（算法）to turn you into a Pablo Picasso？All you need to do is follow three simple steps：choose，provide and create.To be more specific，choose an AI Art Generator，provide the generator with your preferred requirement and hit the "create"button.Even ordinary people without any painting skills can do it well.
Chinese netizens have been amazed and amused by the results created by AI art generators.Some platforms providing AI painting services gained more than 600，000 users in a single day in November，with people aged 25 and under accounting for more than 60% of new users.
Jia Yunfan，a 26-year-old digital artist，has been embracing the novel AI movement.He said， "I was trained as an oil painter ever since I was young.But canvas（油画布）and the realistic style are just too classic and I used to be only defined as a painter.Newly emerged art forms like AI paintings can help artists reach global audiences and broaden their artistic field." An illustrator Huang Ge from Shanghai said illustrators need time to create and they are expensive to hire，but with AI tools，hundreds of pictures can be generated every day.
However，the trend has again caused some panic about whether AI is gradually replacing human beings. "Art's values lie not only in representation but also the artist's mind and emotional contributions.Yet this is lacking in AI art.The warmth and inspiration in human's creations are irreplaceable，"Ding Daoshi，an analyst said.
A more urgent issue is that there is no consensus of the ownership of AI art.Some users have openly sold some AI paintings and have earned money，but it is still a gray area about whether these artworks belong to users，the digital tool developers or even the AI itself.
Ding noted that the various sides should get together to debate the issue and come up with some accepted regulations as soon as possible because AI is already sticking deeply into every aspect of the lives of human beings.
(1) What is the first paragraph mainly about？ ______
A.The development of AI paintings.
B.The classification of AI artworks.
C.The popularity of digital paintings.
D.The procedure in creating AI artworks.
(2) Why does Jia Yunfan welcome the new AI trend？ ______
A.It promotes his art career.
B.It reduces his cost in creation.
C.It maintains his painting style.
D.It improves his work efficiency.
(3) What does the underlined word "consensus" mean in paragraph 5？ ______
A.Complaint.
B.Result.
C.Agreement.
D.Discussion.
(4) What problem remains to be solved in the future？ ______
A.Who owns the copyright of AI art.
B.What to do to ensure the quality of AI artworks.
C.How to tell human's creations from AI paintings.
D.Whether AI paintings can replace traditional paintings.
29. Do you know that it only takes an algorithm（算法）to turn you into a Pablo Picasso？All you need to do is follow three simple steps：choose，provide and create.To be more specific，choose an AI Art Generator，provide the generator with your preferred requirement and hit the "create"button.Even ordinary people without any painting skills can do it well.

The whole night，I polished my speech again and again，and practiced before a mirror until I could deliver the speech fluently.Even though I had made full preparations，I could not sleep with great anxiety.What if words failed me and didn't attract audience at all？What if I forgot the words in the middle of the speech？...I was hesitating to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come.Finally，I gathered some courage to go.I thought， "If I miss this opportunity，surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs."
Anyway，I reached the school on time.Before giving the talk，my whole body was trembling.When my turn came and I started speaking，my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry.I wasn't even able to read the written speech properly.I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading.I just managed to finish the speech in a low voice.That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness，Public Speaking Anxiety.

After my speech，I met with the principal and explained what happened to me.
