In 1972, Barbara Rieco penned a heartfelt children’s book that held her dream within its pages. Despite her
best efforts, the manuscript（手稿）faced repeated rejection from publishers, leading her to eventually set aside her
dream of becoming a published author.
Little did she know that, decades later, her grandson would turn the dream into reality.
Chad Cooper, a production professional, decided to give his grandmother the ultimate Christmas gift—the
publication of her treasured book. Visiting her in Baltimore for the holidays, he secretly took her original
manuscript, along with the drawings for the book she had obtained from an artist years ago, and transformed them
into a beautifully printed book.
On Christmas morning, as Barbara unwrapped the carefully crafted gift, she was overcome with emotion as
she realized what the surprise was. The moment, captured and posted online by Chad, quickly resonated（产生共
鸣）with viewers, and the video became a hit.
“This is probably the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me in my entire life,” Barbara said in the video,
who also gave her grandson a big hug, with tears.
Chad’s thoughtful gesture didn’t just end with the surprise; he also included a link to the book on Amazon,
making it available to the public. The response was nothing short of magic—within days, Barbara’s once-forgotten
book skyrocketed to the top of Amazon’s bestseller list, earning the coveted spot as a best seller.
Chad filmed the reaction to that news and shared more updates. Barbara said she had been reading every
single comment online and wanted to respond to them all but there were thousands of them.
“I’ve bought Barbara Rieco’s book even though I’m 21 and don’t even have kids. I’ve read it and I really like
it,” said one viewer.
“My children enjoy reading the book and they recommend me to read it as well,” another viewer commented.
Barbara Rieco’s book, now accepted by a new generation of readers, continues to spread joy and inspiration.
24．What did Chad Cooper do for his grandmother?
A．He had her book published. B．He drew for her new book.
C．He arranged an artist to meet her. D．He helped finish her manuscript.
25．How did Barbara Rieco feel when receiving her grandson’s Christmas gift?
A．Calm and proud. B．Lucky but regretful.
C．Delighted but worried. D．Excited and grateful.
26．What does the underlined word “covered” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A．Dangerous. B．Desired. C．Empty. D．Forgotten.
27．Why are the two viewers mentioned in the text?
A．To reveal Barbara’s gift for writing books.
B．To show the popularity of Barbara’s book.
C．To tell the influence of reading on the young.
D．To highlight the value of Chad’s Christmas gift.

In late September, an international team of researchers spread out across a remote New Mexico mountain
range in search of a plant. The group walked through the rough landscape looking for signs of plants hugging a tree.
Seven days later, the scientists left with a sample of nature’s reward: wild bean plants.
The scientists wanted to collect the legume（豆科植物）, which is native to dry regions of the southwestern
United States and northwestern Mexico. “The plants have adapted to this very hot and dry climate, so they have
exception al drought and heat tolerance,” said Sarah Dohle, an expert with the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
A warming planet is causing huge damage to agriculture around the globe. In the western U. S., a severe
drought affected California’s tomato and rice production. In Guatemala, the combined effects of both drought and
rain decreased corn and black bean harvests. In Sub-Saharan Africa, hot conditions have reduced the yields of
wheat and corn by more than a third since the early 1960s.
“Crops like the wild bean could help diversify food production, and their genetic material may help make
other crops more drought- and heat-tolerant,” said Richard Pratt, who is among a growing number of scientists
working to look for crops adapting to climate change.
The University of California is leading a multi-state $15million project involving 20 institutions to speed up
the breeding（繁殖）cycles of wheat and to research ways to help the crop grow in a toughened environment. At
Auburn University in Alabama, scientists are working to breed a peanut variety that can better tolerate drought
conditions. And scientists from various institutions have taken part in an effort funded by the Norwegian
government to identify, collect and evaluate wild crops for future development.
Still, there are numerous challenges at play: Crop breeding is a time-intensive process, so it can be difficult for
scientists to keep pace with rapidly changing weather. Advances in gene editing can help speed up the process, but
come with their own trials.
“As global climate change keeps being hard on us,” Sarah said, “there isn’t plenty of time left for us to get
crops that are adaptable.”
28．What is paragraph 1 intended for?
A．Sharing an inspirational story. B．Leading in the topic of the text.
C．Providing background information. D．Summarizing the main idea of the text.
29．How does the author mainly develop paragraph 3?
A．By giving examples. B．By answering questions.
C．By making comparisons. D．By listing prediction data.
30．What does Sarah Dohle imply at last?
A．Climate change is controllable. B．Crop breeding is time-consuming.
C．Efforts to plant crops prove fruitless. D．Urgent measures should be carried out.
31．What is the best title for the text?
A．Overlooked Wild Crops Require Preserving
B．Global Warming Influences Crops’ Adaptation
C．A Severe Drought Is Threatening Food Security
D．Scientists Are Looking for Climate-adapted Crops
D
Researchers are training robots to perform an ever-growing number of tasks through trial-and-error
reinforcement（强化）learning, which is often laborious and time-consuming. To help out, humans are now
employing large language model（LLM）AI.
A team at NVIDIA Research directed an AI protocol（协议）powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 to teach a
simulation（模拟）of a robotic hand nearly 30 complex tasks, including throwing a ball, pushing blocks, pressing
switches, and some other seriously impressive abilities.
NVIDIA’s new “AI agent” Eureka uses GPT-4 by asking the large language model to write its own
reward-based reinforcement learning software code. According to the company, Eureka doesn’t need complicated
reminders or even pre-written patterns; instead, it simply begins experimenting with a program, and then follows
any external human feedback.
In the company’s announcement, Linxi “Jim” Fan, a senior research scientist at NVIDIA, described Eureka as
a unique combination of LLMs and simulation programming. “We believe that Eureka will enable robots to control
items flexibly and provide a new way to produce physically realistic animations for artists,” Fan added.
After testing its training protocol within an advanced simulation program, Eureka then analyzes its collected
data and directs the LLM to further improve upon its design. The result is a protocol capable of successfully
numbering a variety of robotic hand designs to operate scissors, turn pens and open cupboards within a
physics-accurate simulated environment.
Eureka’s alternatives to human-written trial-and-error learning programs aren’t just effective—in most cases,
they’re actually better than those authored by humans. In the team’s open-source research paper findings,
Eureka-designed reward programs outperformed humans’ code in over 80 percent of the tasks—amounting to an
average performance improvement of over 50 percent in the robotic simulations.
“Reinforcement learning has contributed to impressive wins over the last decade, yet many challenges still
exist, such as reward design, which remains a trial-and-error process,” said Anima Anandkumar, an AI researcher.
“Eureka is the first step toward developing new algorithms（算法）that integrate generative and reinforcement
learning methods to solve hard tasks.”
32．Why is AI used for the training?
A．To simplify robots’ tasks. B．To advertise OpenAI’s
GPT-4.
C．To speed up the training process. D．To recognize artists’ role in art creation.
33．What does Eureka need to do in the training?
A．Design reward programs. B．Copy pre-written patterns.
C．Get complicated reminders. D．Avoid human intervention.
34．How does Anima Anandkumar find Eureka?
A．It is still poor at the reward design. B．It should learn from hard tasks.
C．It has few challenges to solve. D．It is of pioneering significance.
35．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Trial-and-error learning programs are promising.
B．Robots can finish complex tasks through learning.
C．Reinforcement learning improves robotic simulations.
D．AI can better teach a simulated robotic hand to perform tasks.

Learning often requires taking different risks, whether it’s the willingness to try something new or keep trying
after a failed attempt. For children, it’s this process of learning how to take risks and becoming comfortable with
failure that can help them grow and develop. 36 As research is showing, children’s willingness to take
risks in learning can depend on their relationship with their parents.
According to the research, children who viewed their parents as being supportive and reliable were more
willing to take risks while learning. “ 37 When their parents support them and are trustworthy, the children
get a sense of how things work,” said Seth Pollak, the lead researcher of the study.
Here is what you, as parents, should remember.
Creating a supportive learning environment for your children often includes identifying what they struggle
with and what they need. 38 Your children can’t necessarily tell you what they need, but they are often
showing you. For example, if your children are consistently having a meltdown（崩溃）after school, that could be a
sign that they are overstimulated from the school day, and need some extra time to relieve pressure before starting
their homework. Other behaviors could include refusing to do something, such as writing with a pencil or doing
their math homework.
One way to create reliability is to develop routines with your children. 39 For example, it could be
making the effort to give them 10 minutes of undivided attention when they come home from school, making it a
habit to play LEGOs with them every Friday evening, or a predictable bedtime routine. 40
A．That is what they expect from their children.
B．Those routines should be developed by children themselves.
C．That consistent and positive attention can make a big difference.
D．Children from more stable backgrounds perform better in learning.
E．One way to do that is to track certain behaviors over time, looking for patterns.
F．The routines are less about how big or time-consuming, and more about their predictability.
G．However, encouraging children to take these risks can be an extremely difficult task for parents.

Apart 56 the life-size Terracotta Warriors（兵马俑）buried in the mausoleum（陵墓）of Qinshihuang,
the first emperor to unite China more than 2,000 years ago, bronze water birds also accompanied him into the
afterlife.
A show now on at the Qinshihuang Mausoleum Site Museum in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, displays 57 bronze
water birds and clay figures discovered in a pit（坑）, the 57 （content）of which are said to be related to the

It was 40 years ago. One day, Emma came back to their apartment from work and realized that her husband,
David, was extremely ill. He was throwing up and slurring（发音不清）his words. Immediately, Emma grabbed
her purse and took him by taxi to the nearest hospital, on the Lower East Side of New York City. The minutes
slowly passed as they waited to see a doctor.
They sat there for a couple of hours, and it was pretty clear that nobody was going to pay attention to David.
So they rushed to a second hospital, where they were also ignored. Emma knew something was very wrong with
David, so they went to a third hospital. As she told the receptionist what was happening, Emma sensed the person
wasn’t going to treat their case with urgency.
Emma was on the edge of a breakdown. After three failed attempts to get help, she had reached her limit. She
started to shout in the lobby（大厅）. That’s when her unsung hero appeared.
That person was a young man with dark hair and a white physician’s coat. He came to Emma and said, “How
can I help you? What’s going on here?” Emma explained what was happening to David, and that she was afraid it
was serious.
The young man said, “You know, I just got done with my neurological residency（神经系统的实习期）up at
Lenox Hill Hospital. I’ll take him in the back and look.” Within two or three minutes, the young man came out and
said, “You are absolutely right. Something is very seriously wrong with your husband.”
The man told Emma to take her husband to Lenox Hill Hospital, and that he had called the doctor with whom
he had done his residency.
“He’ll be waiting for you,” said the young man.
