Under a barrage of inquiries, Missy recapped her concocted story unhurriedly, while I stood there in silent agreement.

Especially.99 Instead of continuing his reproach, he took a deep breath and turned his back on me. It dawned on me that the precious but fragiletrust had been smashed by my silence.

Krysi Joseph 4.0 out of 5 starsOdd, fun and cute story. Great readThis was a cute, lighthearted book that explores the life of a Craigslist addict, and how Craiglist, a large free classifieds （分类广告） website, got her through her life so far. The story was well thought out and pretty realistic when it comes to life struggles. It gets a little unbelievable towards the end, and I don't like it when authors conform to the 'the world is perfect9 viewpoint most books have, but, that my pessimist breaking through.The book needs some serious editing.

The hard work started before daybreak and lasted well into the blistering heat of the afternoon. To get out of there, she was going to get an education.Her parents tried to save some money to send her to college, but unexpected bills kept hitting the fund. Then a teacher announced that the state was going to give a college scholarship to the two top students from her year. Finally, West got the scholarship, allowing her to attend Virginia State College, a historically black university.West decided to major in mathematics because it was a well-respected subject. It was largely studied by men, but she didn't take much notice of them as she knew deep in her heart that nothing was getting in her way. After graduating, she became a teacher. A few years later, she returned to the university and earned a master's degree in mathematics. Then she was offered a job at a naval base in Dahlgren, Virginia. This made her only the second black woman to be hired to work as a programmer at the base.Despite her intellectual abilities and career success, West felt she was inferior. It was this feeling, deeply rooted and felt, by many African Americans, that drove her to work as hard as she could. West determined to commit herself to her work, hoping that by doing it to the best of her ability, she could get recognition for her work.West did just that. In 1979, she became project manager for the Seasat project, the first satellite that could monitor the oceans. She programmed an IBM 7030 Stretch computer, providing faster calculations for an accurate EarthmodeL This detailed mathematical model of the shape of the Earth was a building blockfor what would become the GPS orbit. In 1998, aged 68, she intended to focus on her PhD after retirement. She eventually finished her graduation thesis and gained her PhD in public administration and policy affairs in 2000 at the age of 70. 24. What wt to go to the university ?A. Her teacher's aiding her.B. Her parents' paying for the expenses.C. Her family background.D. The scholarship from the government.25. What can we infer from the text?A. West got all her degrees after retirement.B. Men dominated maths field in Wesf s days.C. Black women scientists 1 talent was fully appreciated.D. When she began to work , West felt she was superior to others.26. What does the underlined phrase “a building block“ in paragraph 5 mean?A. A basic part.B. A detailed map.C. A building material.D. A major obstacle.27. What kind of person is Gladys West?A. Helpful and serious.B. Honest and hardworking.C. Ambitious and committed.D. Considerate and devoted.CArtificial intelligence ( AI ) has been increasingly good at fooling people. A series of photos showing former US president Donald Trump being aggressively arrested by police have caught people's attention. They were fake but very convincing.Created by the AI program Midjourney, the photos were highly realistic, from the characters, movements to the surroundings. However, many details can give away the fact that they are made by AL The Washington Post's technology writer Shira Ovide shared her tips. The main idea is to spot the problems - anything that would look strange in a photo.AI software has a history of generating human hands incorrectly. It sometimes can create hands with more than five fingers. This is because AI isn't sure what a "hand" exactly is, according to Popular Science. The data AI uses to learn often show hands and fingers in various gestures, which can be very confusing for ALAi-generated images also usually contain details that are against reality. To spot this, focus on items like accessories. For example, people in an image may be missing earrings or one part of their sunglasses. If there's text in an image, such as a newspaper or poster, it's usually garbled (篡改)，even though the text may look realistic from a distance.Another thing AI is terrible at handling is the background. If there's a crowd in the image, people's faces in the background are usually blurry - or they don't have faces at all!The development of Ai-generated art also raises alarm bells about how these fake images could be used to spread misinformation. "I think misinformation is going to hit an all-time high,“ Jamie Cohen, a digital culture and AI expert in the US, told New York Post. Generating an AI artwork is to “create reality"，Cohen argued, adding that, being able to tell whether the work is real or not requires high media literacy(素养)skills. "The world may not be ready for how realistic the images have become,“ Shane Kittelson, a US researcher, told The Washington Post. 28. Why are Donald Trump's photos mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To draw more people's attention.B. To make people convinced of the news.C. To show the Ai-generated images were fake.D. To prove that it's easy for AI to cheat people.29. Why does AI generate human hands incorrectly according to the text?A. It is unable to recognize human hands.B. The data it uses to learn contain errors.C. It doesn't fully understand human hands.D. It has insufficient data about human hands.30. Which of the following will Jamie Cohen agree with?A. AI artworks may not be reflective of true creativity.B. It's high time to address the risks posed by AI works.C. AI artworks will replace traditional art forms in the future.D. Detecting real art demands strong media literacy competence.31. Where is the text probably from?A. A news report. B. A diary.C. A research paper. D. A science fiction.DThe success of many North American crops partly depends on ground beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds that could otherwise damage crops. But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. And that could have a far-reaching impact on agriculture, forestry, and conservation.By analyzing data on 136 different ground beetle species across continental North America, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, the researchers found that a species9 chance of success in a changing climate depends on several important factors, such as its habitat preference, body size, and whether it flies, climbs or runs.“We found that less mobile, nonflying ground beetles, which are critical pest control agents, are more likely to decline over time in a warmer, dryer climate,“ said Tong Qiu, who led the study. "That means you're going to have more pests that can impact agricultural and forest ecosystems.But there is reason for hope, Qiu added, because the analysis also showed that habitat conservation can lessen these effects and reverse the trends in some areas.“We hope conservation biologists will use this information and the online map that we created to better manage habitats for insects in general. Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they're largely invisible to the average person. In this paper we're showing the broad impacts they have on whole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems/5 said Qiu.The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science Foundation's National Ecological Observatory Network ( NEON ) and from 11 previously published studies to measure and map the beetles9 distribution across North America. Habitat information, such as the location of gaps in forest canopies and the density of plants on a forest floor, was obtained by using NEON's imaging instruments to create detailed three-dimensional images of landscapes. They then entered the data collected into acomputer model to simulate （模拟）climate changes to study how the insects would respond.32. What does the ne study in North America show?A. Pests could destroy crops.B. Some ground beetles will not survive a climate change.C. The survival of ground beetles only depends on its habitat.D. Some ground beetles will destroy crops in a warmer climate.33. What does Tong Qiu intend to convey in paragraphs 3 and 4?A. There is no way to stop the decline of ground beetles.
