BDyeing eggs has long been an Easter tradition, but its the dyeing of baby chicks that is upsetting in some states.The dye, which is often ordinary food coloring, is either injected into eggs being hatched or sprayed onto newly hatched chicks. Although hatchery owners say the practice is harmless, critics argue that spraying the birds with color is stressful and that dyeing the animals transforms them into something attractive that can be thrown away when their colorful feathers disappear.“These are living creature and dyeing them sends out a message saying that they are more of a new and unusual object than a living animal,” said Dr. Marc Copper, senior scientific manager for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.Dyed chicks - and sometimes rabbits - have been a traditional part of the Easter holiday in some parts of the world, but the practice has gone largely underground in the U.S. because many people view it as cruel.Today, about half of U.S. states ban the dyeing of animals, but last month the Florida Legislature passed a bill to remove the states 45-year-old ban. The drive to end the law wasnt related to Easter chicks; it was done at the request of a dog groomer(美容师) who wanted to enter pet beauty contests.Florida governor Rick Scott must agree to remove the ban, which would be lifted July 1, but the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida(ARFF) has asked him not to remove the ban. In addition to allowing animals dyeing, the law would also lift a ban on selling baby animals as pets, and the organization fears that next year the state could see hundreds of dyed baby chicks on the market.As long as the dye is not poisonous, experts say the birds health isnt affected, and there are scientific reasons to dye animals. Wildlife researchers often inject eggs with dye to track birds in the wild, and teachers have dyed chicks for educational purposes. However, animal advocates are quick to point out that dyeing baby chicks for Easter isnt educational - its done simply to earn profits.24. What can we infer from Coopers words?A. He finds it dangerous to dye eggs.B. He likes dyed birds colorful feathers.C. He is in support of the hatchery owners.D. He is among the critics of dyeing animals.25. What do we learn about dyed baby chicks in the U.S.?A. They are mainly sold in secret.B. They are as common as dyed eggs.C. They are welcomed by most Americans.D. They are getting more popular in the world.26. What was the purpose of the bill?A. To protect Easter chicks. B. To ban pet beauty contests.C. To make animals dyeing legal. D. To prevent the sale of baby animals.27. What is the ARFFs attitude toward the bill?A. Tolerance. B. Opposition. C. Doubt. D. Caution. CThere is a popular saying in the English language: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Well, that is not true. Unkind words, namecalling or even the socalled “the silent treatment” can hurt children as much as being physically hit, sometimes even more so.A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal (言语的) abuse by other children can harm development in the brain. The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts. Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults, aged 18 to 25. These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents. The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children. Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.The images showed that the people who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain. The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum. This was the area that was underdeveloped.The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing. So, unkind, hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect. The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study. The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear, depression, anger and drug abuse than others in the study.The researchers published their findings online on the American Journal of Psychiatrys website.Parents cannot control what other people say to their children, but they can prepare their children.28. Why does the author use the popular saying at the beginning?A. To show the power of words. B. To introduce an opposite view.C. To prove the authors argument. D. To show ancient peoples wisdom.29. What did the subjects have in common?A. They were hurt by unkind words.B. They performed poorly in imaging tests.C. They had their brain slightly damaged.D. They experienced no physical abuse at home.30. What will be discussed in the next paragraph?A. Comments on the findings. B. Approaches to further studies.C. Suggestions to parents. D. Different opinions on the matter.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The way we speak matters. B. Verbal violence should be stopped.C. Unkind words hurt the brain. D. Words are worse than sticks and stones. DYouve heard the predictions from some of the brightest minds about AIs influence. Tesla and SpaceX chief Elon Musk worries that AI is far more dangerous than nuclear weapons. The late scientist Stephen Hawking warned AI could serve as the “worst event in the history of our civilization” unless humanity is prepared for its possible risks.But many experts, even those who are aware of such risks, have a more positive attitude, especially in health-care and possibly in education. That is one of the results from a new AI study released Monday by the Pew Research Center. Pew canvassed the opinions of 979 experts over the summer, a group that included famous technologists, developers, innovators and business and policy leaders. The interviewed experts, some of whom chose to remain anonymous, were asked to join in the discussion of a serious and important question: By 2030, do you think it is most likely that advancing AI and related technology systems will improve human capacities and control them?Nearly two-thirds experts predicted most of us will be mostly better off. But a third thought otherwise, and a majority of the experts expressed at least some concerns over the long-term impact of AI on the essential elements(要素) of being human. Among those concerns were data abuse, loss of jobs and loss of control brought by autonomous weapons and cybercrime(网络犯罪). Above all, by taking data in and spitting answers out, those black box tools make decisions in digital systems. It is an erosion(侵蚀) in our ability to think for ourselves. 32. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To stop human developing AI. B. To inform readers how AI develops. C. To tell readers the result of a study. D. To encourage a public discussion. 33. What does the underlined word “canvass” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Ask. B. Adopt. C. Weigh. D. Analyse. 34. What are experts most concerned about?A. AI will beat humans in abilities and qualities.B. Humans will suffer a decrease of thinking ability.C. Humans will develop autonomous weapons.D. AI will come to power in human societies.35. What do we know about AI from the text?A. Elon Musk holds a positive attitude towards AI. B. Stephen Hawking warned people not to develop AI. C. Few interviewed experts expressed their concerns about AI. D. Most interviewed experts believed AI makes human life better. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (将选项涂在答题卡相应的71-75题） Improving your vocabulary can be done at any age and any level of education.
