Have you ever paid close attention to a cloud and noticed its ever-changing forms? If not, you could be missing out on something quite wonderful.
A pop science blogger surnamed Zheng, 25, known as the "Cloud Collector" on the lifestyle social media Xiaohongshu, originally started her account to share cloud photos in 2022.
Zheng, who enjoys finding pleasure in recording the beauty of daily life, considered it a way to spread lovely moments to more people. "Clouds have always brought me peace and joy," said Zheng.

As a growing number of online users began to show interest and raise questions, Zheng realized that she could offer more science content about cloud watching. Thus, she started to learn more by reading professional books and asking experts in the field.
Zheng has now shared nearly 200 pieces of popular science content, including cloud identification, different cloud types and the knowledge of weather. Her account now has over 210,000 followers on Xiaohongshu, and there are five group chats where thousands of users share their daily cloud-watching experiences.
Looking ahead, Zheng has plans to hold several shows. "The first round of shows will be in Xiamen in Fujian and Chengdu in Sichuan," Zheng said, adding that she is gathering more cloud photos and the special stories behind them.

In a recent interview with the CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, said artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) may become smarter than any human by the end of next year.
It is true that AI achievements over the past 18 months, including video generation tools and chat robots, have made the development of AI faster. The Financial Times reported that Musk actually announced last year that humans would "fully" achieve general artificial intelligence by 2029. Musk has long been supportive of AI development, believing it is so powerful that it can beat the most capable human in any field.
Despite its rapid development, AI needs policy, resources and technological support. Yet its use in many fields now does not have this kind of support. Cooperation(合作) among countries is also needed for AI development, but current international cooperation depends on many national causes, blocking the smooth development of AI. At the same time, AI development is also limited by some cultural causes, such as Chat GPT's answers being more in line with the Western environment, which means the development of AI with a single national power may increase the imbalance of global AI development. All these call for exact connection between capital and the market, and a full range of international cooperation for AI development.
The fast development of AI in recent years has reduced production costs and improved production efficiency (效率), opening the door to new business forms in various areas. Despite bringing in efficiency, the use of artificial intelligence is also filled with risks. The technology continues to increase the difficulty in dealing with the problems concerning various laws, leading to calls for the sound law system applicable to this new technology.
According to experts, the power used by human brains is much lower than the power lost to artificial intelligence operation, and there is still a gap between the levels of artificial intelligence and human intelligence. However, from a long-term viewpoint, they believe that artificial intelligence, which now has many shortcomings compared with the human brain, may eventually better human intelligence supported by algorithms (算法) and data, depending on how some software develops.
The time of artificial intelligence is a time of risks and opportunities, and the uncertainty brought by this technology to human society may be far greater than the certainty.
(1)、How does the writer raise the subject of AI?A、By listing human achievements. B、By using the words of Elon Musk. C、By showing video generation tools. D、By providing specific data in the past.(2)、According to the writer, which of the following is the risk of using AI?A、The loss of cultural traditions. B、The pollution of the environment. C、The reduction of production efficiency. D、The difficulty of dealing with law problems.(3)、What does the underlined word "shortcomings" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A、Weaknesses. B、Mistakes. C、Benefits. D、Qualities(4)、What is the writer's attitude towards AI development?A、Surprised. B、Supportive. C、Worried. D、Frightened.(5)、What can we learn from this passage?A、We should call on people to stop using AI. B、There are many possibilities for the development of AI. C、The opinion of Elon Musk is the same as most people's ideas. D、Many countries have caught the opportunity to buy AI chat robots. -

Liu's first communication with disabled people was with one of her neighbors, Mrs. Wang. "Even as a child, I was moved by her finger movement, and thought it would be great if she could speak," Liu said.

Apart from teaching her class together, she also has one-on-one classes with each student for 20 minutes every day. As a result, she usually has a painful throat at the end of the day.
With Liu's tireless efforts, her students show great improvement. " Whenever they managed to say ‘mom ' or ‘dad' for the first time, I felt it was the sweetest sound in the world," she said.

10、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was 11 years old when I asked my mum for piano lessons. We were in the economic decline and she'd recently been out of work. She said a polite "no".
That didn't stop me. I googled the photos of a keyboard, drew the keys on to a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes(音符) on an online keyboard and "play" them back on my paper one—keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. After a while I could hear the notes in my head while pressing the keys on the paper. I spent six months playing scales(音阶) and chord sequences(和弦序列) without touching a real piano. Once my mum saw it wasn't a fad(一时的怪念头), she borrowed some money from family and friends, and bought me 10 lessons.
I still remember the first one. I was struck by how organic the sound of the piano was, as I had become familiar with the artificial electronic sound. The teacher tried to explain where middle C was but I could already play all the major and minor scales.
I passed my grade one after eight lessons and got distinction. By the time I started secondary school, we couldn't afford lessons again, so I returned to my paper keyboard. I passed grade three, then grade five, practicing only on my piece of paper.
For the grades above that, there's an expectation that you put a certain sensitivity into your playing. The head of music at my school said I could practice on the school's piano. I would wake up at 5: 30 am to get there in time and play until lessons started. I'd skip lunch and then practice after school until the caretaker kicked me out. At home, I'd have dinner, do three hours of revision, and then mental practice until I am.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

With modern life so jam-packed with activities and stimulation, it is hard to completely unplug and relax. So here are some ways to relax your brain.
Getting some exercise
It might sound strange to talk about exercise as being restful. . A short walk at lunchtime can do the job as well as more intense or longer exercises.
A lot of our time is spent waiting. Instead of stressing about unfinished tasks, take a look around you. Buses and grocery store lines offer a glimpse into the lives of others. Maybe that young mom struggling with a baby could use your seat on the bus. Has that businessman with the dozen roses found love? What will that student do for the world? Even if you never know the truth, stepping outside of your own thoughts can bring insights and freedoms, always things of value.
Nature
Walking or sitting in natural surroundings is an opportunity for healing. . Peaceful colors, fresh oxygen, pleasing textures, and soothing sounds create a perfect spot for quiet thinking or cloud watching. Changing seasons may bring back fond memories or give hope for new ideas. And a simple garden or even an indoor plant can inspire hope every time we look at it.
Animals
If you have a cat or dog, you are probably familiar with the peaceful feelings watching animals or petting their fur. If you don't have any animals of your own, you can still interact with a variety of species when you visit or volunteer at butterfly houses, zoos, aquariums, or even a friend's house. They deserve companionship and care just as you do.
A. Watching people
B. Changing surroundings
C. However, nature doesn't always help
D. Nature makes no demands of us yet gives so much
E. Being around them always carries a peaceful magic
F. But that's something our brain needs to repair and restore itself
G. But moving the body helps clear the mind as well as relax the body

Humpback whales are well known for their fascinating culture: These mysterious animals migrate thousands of miles every year, sing charming songs, leap from the water in an enormous breach, and collaborate while hunting--creating bubble nets that trap their prey. Now, researchers have shed light on another aspect of whale behavior: Playing with kelp(巨藻) they find floating in the ocean—moving it between their fins, rolling around with it, and, most interestingly, wearing it atop their heads like a hat.
This behavior—called kelping—has been described in a new study as a "global phenomenon" . There's no doubt kelping looks fun. But could it have another purpose? Olaf Meynecke, research fellow at Griffith University and co-author of the study, thinks so--especially considering that whales can keep it up for 30 to 40 minutes.
What's particularly intriguing about kelping is the way that humpbacks from different populations—in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres—all prefer to wear seaweed on the top of their heads, says Meynecke. They place kelp on their forehead in over half the recorded instances Baleen species are believed to like having their heads scratched--gray whales are known for approaching whale watching boats for a tickle on the nose. Because whales don't have hands to scratch themselves, like we do, Meynecke suggests "they might seek out other tactile sensations that just feel good".
Whales might also be treating kelp like a cleansing face mask, as seaweed has antimicrobial qualities that can reduce levels of bacteria. Rubbing kelp across their bodies may also remove parasites(寄生物) and shed bacterial and viral growths to prevent them getting completely overgrown with sea lice(虱) and skin infections, says Meynecke.
The study has caught the attention of researchers globally, and Meynecke's mailbox has been flooded with people who have also seen kelping. "Someone from Tahiti was like, ‘We see it all the time,' " he says. Now the phenomenon has been highlighted globally, which could lead to further research into the behavior, its benefits, and even if other species do it.
(1)、What can we learn about humpback whales?A、They migrate alone every year. B、They are naughty and good at sports. C、They have an ear for music. D、They cooperate closely while hunting.(2)、What does the underlined word "intriguing" in paragraph 3 mean?A、Dangerous. B、Fascinating. C、Optimistic. D、Worthwhile.(3)、What function does seaweed possess according to Paragraph 4?A、Resisting bacteria. B、Removing dirt from the skin. C、Enhancing immune system. D、Preventing the growth of parasites.(4)、What might be talked about next in the article?A、Explore the benefit of kelping. B、Analyze the harm of kelp to whales. C、Research into other species' behavior D、Advocate for the protection of marine animals -

Is it easy for you to feel scared? Does art make you cry? Do you feel other people's feelings? On the other hand, do you tend to be overwhelmed by crowds, bright lights or strong perfume? Bad news--or maybe good. You could be an HSP, a highly sensitive person.
How can we understand what's happening inside an HSP? The term was coined in 1996 by psychologist Elaine Aron and she argued that sensitive brains are uniquely tired to process their environment at a deep level. Her theory's most striking claim is that physical and emotional sensitivity are one and the same. A complicated attention to body language strengthens empathy(共鸣); responsiveness to subtle physical signals creates rich sensations in HSPs, but can also overwhelm.
In the workplace, HSPs are usually the highest performers, yet the first to get tired out. They can struggle in relationships, as they tend to be people-pleasing. The ability to connect is of huge value and higher sensitivity is linked with creativity, brilliance and higher IQ. The trait is shared by pioneers across science, business and the arts--anyone who notices details others don't, makes connections they can't.
No matter what you call it, sensitivity is defined as the ability to sense, process, and respond deeply to one's environment. People who are sensitive naturally pick up more information from their environment, process it more deeply, and are ultimately more shaped by it. Much of this deep processing happens involuntarily and many sensitive people aren't even aware that they do it. A better word for sensitive might be responsive. If you are a highly sensitive person, your body and mind respond more to the world around you. You respond more to heartbreak, pain and loss, but you also respond more to beauty, new ideas and joy. You go deep where others only skim the surface. You keep thinking when others have given up and moved on to something else.
(1)、What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A、The definition of sensitivity B、The features of an HSP C、The ways of dealing with an HSP D、The cause of high sensitivity.(2)、What do we know about an HSP?A、An HSP often demonstrates low working efficiency. B、The term refers to a patient troubled by mental problems C、An HSP responds more to the negative than to the positive. D、The term was created by a female psychologist in the 1990s.(3)、What is the writer's attitude towards high sensitivity?A、Objective. B、Doubtful. C、Disapproving. D、Concerned.(4)、Where does this text probably come from?A、A medical journal. B、A news report. C、A scientific magazine D、A health magazine. -

Walter Diemer, who invented bubble gum(泡泡糖), died at age 93.
Mr Diemer was an accountant for Fleer Chewing Gum Co. in Philadelphia when he began testing recipes for a gum base, the part that makes gum chewy, in his spare time in 1928. He created the first batch of bubble gum by chance, making it pink because that was the only shade of food coloring on hand. "It was an accident," Mr Diemer said in a 1996 interview with the Lancaster Intelligencer Journal. "I was doing something else and ended up with something with bubbles."
Americans had been chewing gum since 1870, when a New Yorker named Charles Adams began manufacturing it in a Manhattan warehouse. By the 1920s, a handful of 人 companies were making gum from chicle, a form of sapodilla tree sap(树液) that had been chewed in Belize, Guatemala and Mexico for centuries. Mr Diemer's pink concoction(调和物) was stretchier and less sticky than earlier recipes.
Fleer Co. took over the recipe and called it Dubble Bubble, selling the gum for a penny apiece. Mr Diemer helped market Dubble Bubble by teaching salesmen to blow bubbles so they could demonstrate the product. Dubble Bubble had no competition until after World War II, when Topps Co. began wrapping bubble gum in comics and calling it Bazooka.
Mr Diemer, who had begun working for Fleer after high school, never received royalties for his invention, said his wife, Florence Freeman Kohler Diemer. He did receive hundreds of letters from children thanking him for bubble gum, she said. He rarely, chewed gum, but he would invite children to his home and tell them about his invention, then preside over bubble-blowing contests, his wife said. "He was terrifically proud of it," she said. "He would say to me, ‘I've done something with my life; I've made kids happy around the world.' " Mr Diemer eventually became senior vice president of Fleer, retiring in 1970.
(1)、What does paragraph two mainly talk about?A、The function of gum bases. B、The working experience of Diemer. C、The process of Diemer inventing bubble gum. D、The difference between bubble gum and chewing gum.(2)、How did Diemer help market bubble gum?A、By reducing its production cost. B、By constantly improving the recipes. C、By wrapping it in fascinating packaging. D、By telling salespeople how to blow bubbles.(3)、Why did children write letters to Diemer?A、Because they had something to ask Diemer B、Because they wanted to express their gratitude C、Because they hoped to get permission to visit him D、Because they were impressed by Diemer's generosity(4)、What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A、To introduce the inventor of bubble gum. B、To explain the reasons for Diemer's success C、To describe the health benefits of bubble gum. D、To highlight the importance of marketing strategies. -

18、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My family had only recently moved into a new neighborhood. All of my neighbors have been very friendly and helpful since we moved in.
However, Mrs Davis, an elderly lady living in the last house on the other side of the road, escaped associating with us, or anyone else. When I asked around the neighborhood why, they warned me not to go after her because they thought she was insane(精神失常的)and preferred staying alone after losing her husband and only daughter in an aircraft crash. After that, she stayed isolated(孤立的)from all the neighbors, refusing all the care and help.
I often saw her on the streets during the evening, but she was always by herself. She appeared weak and I always wanted to help her, but after hearing what my neighbors had said about her, I wasn't sure whether I should.
One day, when I was on my way to the supermarket, our paths crossed. I was walking past her and overheard her singing a tune. It immediately drew my attention because my parents used to sing the same song with me. I began to sing along with her, and she smiled at me for the first time. But when I smiled back, she quickly hurried her pace and went home.
She seemed very different to me that day. I refused to trust my neighbors' claims that she had cut herself off from the rest of society because she was insane, so the next day, I knocked on her door. Mrs Davis was home, and instead of letting me in, she just looked at me silently through the window. I noticed her staring at me and was about to walk to the window when she quickly closed the curtains.
The next day, I revisited her house. "Hello, I brought you something," I called out to her. "It's the record of the music you were singing yesterday."
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The door opened and Mrs Davis' eyes widened in surprise at the sight of me standing there.
……
Several days later in the morning, the doorbell rang at my house.
