Managers.BLaura Sides was a psychology major at the University of Nottingham in 2004. She first noticed signs of her dads developing dementia(痴呆) when she moved to Nottingham. She said, “Dad was a doctor, so he knew exactly what had happened to him, but people try to hide it when they are ill. Then, I came home for my 21st birthday and arranged to meet him, but he never showed up as hed forgotten. Thats when I knew something serious had happened.”So, aged 21, she decided to leave university and look after him herself. She lived close by, popping in every day to make sure he was eating, and that the house was tidy, before heading off to her work.Besides challenging moments, there was a time when looking after her dad was a pure joy. “Wed wake up, Id ask what he wanted to do that day, and however ridiculous the adventure is, off wed go.”Sadly, in 2009, 5 years later, Laura lost her father. Before he died, Laura went to a hospital appointment with him, where doctors mentioned that his form of Alzheimers disease was genetic meaning there was a fifty-fifty chance that she had inherited it. For several years Laura agonised over whether to be tested, finally finding out in August 2017 that she has the APP gene, meaning that, like him, she will develop the condition within a decade.At first, she struggled, feeling as if her life lacked purpose. Then, during a sleepless night in the summer of 2018, she decided at around 2 a.m. to enter the 2019 London Marathon sponsored by the charities Alzheimers Society and Alzheimers Research UK.She hoped to start the conversation around early-onset Alzheimers disease and to encourage people to talk about it more openly. “I remember when Dad was ill, people wouldnt know how to react, but I want to be honest and open,” she added. “The more information we can get, the less of a taboo(忌讳) we will feel. That said, the support Ive received so far after going public has been amazingthats what is carrying me through.”24. Laura noticed her fathers dementia when .A. her father told her his condition in personB. people nearby informed her of his fathers conditionC. her father forgot his own birthday partyD. her father forgot to attend her 21-year-old birthday party25. The underlined word “agonised” in Paragraph 4 probably means .A. excitedB. struggledC. shockedD. delighted26. Laura started the open talk in the hope of .A. getting people to talk about Alzheimers disease openlyB. earning some money to help treat her Alzheimers diseaseC. making herself stronger to fight against Alzheimers diseaseD. raising funds for charities Alzheimers Society and Alzheimers disease Research UK27. Which words can best describe Laura?A. Caring and positive.B. Careful and honest.C. Patient and cautious.D. Devoted and modest.CAccording to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, 33 percent of coral reefs(珊瑚礁) are in danger. One of the victims is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the worlds largest coral reef system.A team of British and Australian scientists banded and came up with a solution to revive one of the worlds seven natural wonders. They used underwater loudspeakers to attract fishes to the dead coral reefs to help them restore. The groundbreaking process is known as “acoustic(声音的) enrichment”.Loudspeakers are placed on patches of dead corals in the Great Barrier Reef. After careful observation, researchers discovered a favorable resultnearly twice as many fish arrivedand stayed, as compared to parts where there was no sound from speakers.“Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy placesthe crackle of snapping shrimp and the whoop of fish combine to form a biological soundscape. Young fish home in on these sounds when theyre looking for a place to settle.” said Professor Steve Simpson at the University of Exeter.Reefs become quiet when they are decarded(退化), as the shrimps and fish disappear. “By using loudspeakers to restore this lost soundscape, we can attract young fish back again,” Simpson added. “Fish are crucial for coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystemsBoosting fish populations in this way could help kick-start natural recovery processes, counteracting(抵消) the damage were seeing on many coral reefs around the world.” he said.Despite this groundbreaking discovery, we still have our work cut out for the preservation of coral reefs. The average water temperatures are rising, and problems such as overfishing and pollution are still among the pressing issues at hand. Also, further research is still needed to understand how loudspeakers influence the behavior of aquatic(水中) creatures fully.Nevertheless, hope is still visible for the degraded coral reefs. The authors of the acoustic enrichment study remain to be optimistic in the power of music and sound to restore the reefs abundant marine population.28. How does “acoustic enrichment” function according to the text?A. By scaring the enemy of fishes.B. By making degraded reefs noisier.C. By appealing to young fishes.D. By making fishes multiply faster.29. What does Prof Simpson think of bringing fish back?A. It can help rebuild the coral reefs ecosystem.B. It can benefit the other lives in the ocean.C. It can make the ocean noisier and cleaner.D. It can improve the food chains of the ocean.30. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. The research has achieved a complete success.B. It is tough to restore the damaged coral reefs.C. Global winning is the biggest reason for reef victims.D. Music and sound benefit endangered animals.31. What is the text mainly about?A. The threats coral reefs face nowadaysB. The worlds biggest coral reef systemC. Various reasons why corals are threatenedD. A novel approach to degraded coral reefsDClaude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci . the art world has never lacked talent. And now, a new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isnt even human.Next month, auction house(拍卖行) Christies Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art created by artificial intelligence for sale. The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond De Belamy, and is expected to be sold for up to $10,000 (69,000 yuan).The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face, was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious. Laugero-Lasserre, an art collector from France, called the work “ridiculous and amazing at the same time”. This isnt the first example of AI-produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all.According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, art is about creating emotion. Its “a means of joining people together in the same feelings”, he once said.So, if the emotion behind art is what makes the art, the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers. Together, they “fed” the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet.32. Why are Monet, Picasso and da Vinci mentioned at the beginning of the passage?A. To list world famous talented artists.B. To introduce a new painter as great as them.C. To show the prosperity of the art world.D. To highlight the inhuman painter by contrast.33. Why does the painting mentioned in Paragraph 2 gain special concern?A. Its the first AI-produced artwork for sale.B. Itll be auctioned in a famous auction house.C. Its the portrait of a man with mysterious look.D. Its auction price is expected to be the highest.34. Which of the following statement may Leo Tolstoy agree with?A. AI technology is a tool for artistic creation.B. AI is taught to express human emotions in art.C. AI copied paintings of the14th-18th centuries.D. AI art joins people together in the same feelings.35. What might be the future of the new artistic movement?A. Popular.B. Unclear.C. Predictable.D. Unacceptable.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。Four ways to make someone else smileIf you make even one person smile today, you can help make this world a better place.
