Then a man comes out of the forest. He carries some juice from a white fungus. Carefully, he drips the juice into the boy’s ear. In some rainforest villages of South America, that’s how earaches are cured (治愈)!Rainforest doctors, called shamans, use many kinds of plants as medicine. They make tea from one type of red vine (藤蔓). It cures stomachaches. Yellow flowers from another plant are used to treat snakebite. Local shamans have used the curing power of plants for thousands of years._________Today, scientists from all over the world want to learn what these shamans know about plant medicines. They are racing to find the secrets of the rainforest before the plants disappear forgood. And the rainforests are disappearing fast. Every year, people cut down an area of rainforest as large as Florida. Sometimes they want to use the land for farms. Sometimes they cut down the trees and sell the wood.Now the scientists travel by boat, air, and foot to tiny rainforest villages. Then they spend long hours making their way through the hot and humid jungle (丛林) with the local shamans. The shamans show the scientists which plants can be used as cures.Saving the RainforestOne U.S. company has already found an important new medicine. It comes from a plant found in the rainforests of Ecuador. This medicine may soon be used to cure lung infections in kids. Rainforest plants might cure many bad diseases, such as cancer and AIDS. So medicine companies are working to save the rainforests. When people buy medicines made from the rainforest plants, part of the money will go to help save the rainforests. If the rainforests survive, someday you may find cures in your home that were made from white fungus and red vines. 4.What does the underlined word “He” in Paragraph 1 most probably refer to?A.The boy’s father.B.The boy’s teacher.C.A rainforest scientist.D.A rainforest doctor.5.What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about?A.Many rainforest plants are used as medicines.B.The rainforests in the US are disappearing fast.C.Local shamans can cure different kinds of diseases.D.There’re many plants in the forest of South America.6.Which of the following can be put in “________”?A.Losing the Rainforest B.Looking for the MedicinesC.Learning from the Shamans D.Walking through the Rainforest7.What is the best title for the passage?A.Rainforest Doctors B.Rainforest MedicinesC.The Medicine Companies D.The Surviving Rainforest①AI is used in many ways to make our lives better. For example, AI-powered robots can help doctors perform surgeries with more precision. AI can also help teachers by giving special lessons to students based on their learning speed and style. In our homes, smart speakers and home assistants can control lights, play music, and even tell us the weather.①However, when it comes to disinformation (虚假信息), “Social media took the cost of spreading to zero, and AI takes the cost to zero,” says Renee DiResta of the Stanford Internet Observatory. Large language models such as GPT-4 make it easy to produce misleading news articles or social-media posts in a huge number.①And AI can produce mor than text. Cloning (克隆) a voice using AI used to require minutes, or even hours,of sample audio. Last year, however, researchers at Microsoft created V ALL-E, an AI model that is able to clone aperson’s voice from just a three-second clip (片段) of them speaking, and make it say any given text.①OpenAI, the American company behind GPT-4, has developed a similar tool, V oice Engine, which canclone any voice from a 15-second clip and no one can find the difference. It has not yet released (发布) to public, because of its possible risks to the society.①Similarly, Sora, from Open AI, can produce surprisingly realistic videos of up to a minute according to the given text. Open AI has not released Sora to the public, partly because it could be used to create disinformation. Another worry is that many people will lose their jobs in the video industry because of Sora.①Though all of this is worrying, it is worth remembering that not all parts of the technology are bad. AI, it turns out, can be used for fighting disinformation as well as producing it. Anyway, it’s time to think about how we use AI. We need to make sure it’s used responsibly and for the good of everyone. Plus, who knows? Maybe one day, you could be the one creating the next big thing in AI!8.How does the writer lead in the topic in the beginning?A.By telling a story.B.By asking questions.C.By giving examples.D.By comparing facts.9.Which sentence is closest to the writer’s attitude (态度) towards AI?A.AI is very useful in our daily life.B.Voice Engine and Sora are the most useful AI.C.Although there may be problems, the future of the AI is still bright.D.People should take good use of AI no matter it is good or bad.10.What can we know about V oice Engine according to the passage?A.It’s a tool that can clone any voice.B.It is produced before GPT-4.C.It can also produce videos of one minute.D.It won’t cause any risk to the society. 11.What’s the structure of the passage?A.B.C.D.I’d never told my mother about climbing the tree. If I told her, she would say it was too dangerous. My brothers, being brothers, wouldn’t have cared. Then there was my father. The only person I knew would understand. Still, I was afraid to tell him. He might tell my mother and very soon they’d try to stop me.So I kept quiet, kept climbing, and felt a somewhat lonely joy as I looked out over the world. Then a few months ago I found myself talking to the tree. This is a complete conversation, just me and a tree. And on the climb down I felt like crying. Why didn’t I have someone real to talk to? Why didn’t I have a best friend like everyone else? Sure, there were kids I knew at school, but non e of them were close friends. They’d have no interest in climbing the tree or smelling the sunshine.That night, after dinner my father went outside to paint. In the cold of the night, under the porch light, he went out to put the unfinished painting on a sunrise he’d been working on.I got my jacket and went out to sit beside him, quiet as a mouse. After a few minutes, he said, “What’s on your mind, sweetheart?”I looked at him but couldn’t seem to speak.He mixed two kinds of orange together, and very softly he said, “Talk to me.”I sighed so heavily, and it surprised even me. “I understand why you come out here, Dad.”He tried kidding me. “Would you mind explaining it to your mother?”“I hope not, Dad. I understand now about the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.” He stopped his work. “You do? What happened? Tell me about it!”So I told him about the sycamore (无花果) tree. About the view and the sounds and the colors and the wind, how climbing up so high felt like flying, and how it felt like magic.He didn’t stopped me once, and when I finished my story, I looked at him and whispered, “Would you climb up there with me?”He thought about this for a long time, then smiled and said, “I’m not much of a climber, Julianna, but I’ll give it a shot, sure. How about this weekend, when we’ve got lots of time to work with?”“Great!”I went to bed so excited that I didn’t sleep for more than five minutes the whole night. Saturday was right around the corner. I couldn’t wait!—Adapted from “Flipped”12.Who did the girl decide to tell about climbing the tree?A.Her mother.B.Her brothers.C.Her father.D.Her friends. 13.How did the girl feel when she was climbing the tree and looking out over the world?A.Lonely B.Scared.C.Excited.D.Surprised. 14.Which of the following is the right order according to the passage?a.
