He used his engineering skills to make his prosthetic (假肢的) leg more comfortable and powerful than a real leg.“I have experienced some awkward moments while using the prosthetic leg, which has made me think about how to upgrade it.” Liang says, “Security checks when traveling, especially at airports, can be a bit problematic: others include trying on clothes in fitting rooms, shoes at shopping malls, and changing from feet to a running blade before jogging.” Since late 2020, he has upgraded his high-tech prosthesis. One of the latest upgrades is the addition of colored LED lights to his running blade.He has become an overnight internet hit on short-video streaming platforms for sharing his designs and upgrades on his high-tech prosthetic leg to make it close to, or even better than, a real one. Liang says, “Although China has millions of amputees (截肢患者), people with a prosthesis are still a rare sight on the street. I hope my videos can be inspiring to people struggling through tough times, just like I have been through. Even a smile will make it worth it.”Since his optimism and courage made national headlines, Liang has gone viral on social media. On micro-blogging platform Sina Weibo, his story has gained more than 21 million views so far. Many users refer to him by the nickname “Iron Leg Man”. “What amazes me most is not your skills, but your confidence after such a disaster,” a netizen named Modaren says.To advance functional performance and help amputees maintain or regain their freedom of movement, Liang has provided his experience and suggestions to several prosthetics companies. “If there is a good opportunity, I want to make high-tech prosthetics accessible and affordable to more amputees in China,” Liang says.4.

Two heads are better than one.B. Its never too late to do what you like.C. What doesnt kill you makes you stronger.D A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.CCalled “Americas wolf”, the red wolf is the only large predator whose historic range is found entirely within the United States, stretching from Texas to New England. But hunting gradually reduced its range, and it was declared extinct in the wild in 1980.Recovery efforts in the wild began in 1987 on the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. In a ground-breaking successful experiment, eight captive (圈养的) wolves were released this year into North Carolina, eventually growing into a population over 100, reaching a peak of around 120 wolves in 2012. But illegal hunting and management changes by the Fish and Wildlife Service resulted in their numbers plummeting.In the spring, conservationists celebrated a small bit of good news when four captive-born pups (幼兽) were placed into a cave and successfully adopted by a wild red wolf mother. Meanwhile, another four adults were released into the wild. The pups are thought to be still alive and healthy. But the adults didnt go well. In the months after release, three were struck by cars and killed, and the fourth was fatally shot on private land.To boost the population after these deaths, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced in November that it planned to release nine adult red wolves into their recovery area this winter, land within and surrounding two wildlife reserves.The Service also recently announced it would withdraw a 2018 proposal to shrink (缩小) the red wolves protected area in North Carolina by 90 percent, after a lawsuit accused the agency of going against the Endangered Species Act. Ron Sutherland of the Wildlands Network says its crucial that the agency has abandoned this wrong-headed proposal. And yet the situation now is even more urgent than it was in 2018 this should launch the conservation community in the U. S. into crisis mode to save this species and bring it back from the extinction.8. What does the underlined word “plummeting” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Promising.B. Declining.C. Multiplying.D. Increasing.9. What can we infer from paragraph 3?A. The released wolves lived well.B. The population boosted after the release.C. The red wolf faced greater threat than before.D. The released red wolves still needed protection.10. What would the Service do to save red wolves?A. Shrink the red wolves reserves.B. Make a proposal to protect the red wolves.C. Put some red wolves in some specific places.D. Force the protected area into the state of emergency.11. What does the text focus on?A. The protection of red wolves.B. Challenges faced by red wolves.C. Reasons for red wolves extinction.D. The relationship between red wolves and humans.DInterspecies was once a technical term used in science to describe how one species got along with another. Now it is a word of more consequence: it arouses the new connections between humans and non-humans that are being made possible by technology. In Ways of Being, James Bridle, a British artist and technology writer, explores what this means for understanding the many non-human intelligences on Earth.Mr Bridle makes clear that three kinds of minds are now interacting: human, non-human and machine. Using artificial intelligence (AI), machines will in future have the capability to interpose (使介入) themselves as translators between humans and other biological life forms.It is true that profit is the main motive for advances in AI; as yet nature does not get much of a look in, and non-human intelligences go unexplored outside zoology departments. Computing is as focused on humans as ever, even as climate change and biodiversity-loss suggest it should devote much greater attention to other species.The first step towards an interspecies future, Mr Bridle argues, is showing more appreciation for other forms of intelligence. To some extent, this is already happening. For example, through films and other initiatives many people now know that octopuses (章鱼) have an advanced and strange intelligence. The next step, Mr Bridle declares, is recognizing that people live in a “more than human” world. Other intelligences have developed from a common evolutionary base, and they overlap (重叠) in ways that science is just beginning to discover.Ways of Being would have benefited from sharper editing. Yet, in making clear the patience, imagination and humility required to better know and protect other forms of intelligence on Earth, he has made an admirable contribution to the dawning interspecies age.12. Which of the following best illustrates the term “interspecies”?A. A wolf hunts a rabbit.B. A robot does housework.C. A lady walks her dog.D. A boy records a video for squirrels.13. What does AI lay emphasis on nowadays?A. Biodiversity.B. Other species.C. Humans.D. Climate change.14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The characteristics of species evolution.B. Expectations for the future development of AI.C. Suggestions on future exploration of interspecies.D. The importance of appreciation for other forms of intelligence.15. Which word best describes the authors attitude to Ways of Being?A. Skeptical.B. Favorable.C. Tolerant.D. Conservative.第二节(共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。World in a dish: The garden pathImagine a plate holding two strawberries, identical in appearance. One came from the supermarket, meaning it was probably harvested when it was still unripe, loaded onto a refrigerated truck and driven hundreds of miles. _16_ The other strawberry was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten.The first one will probably taste like a slightly soft cucumber, with light berry flavors and strong sour tastes. The second is likely to be sweet and floral; the flavor will stay in the mouth, as the pleasant smell will on the hands. _17_ They are convenient and available in the northern hemisphere (北半球) in February._18_ This attitude misunderstands the ultimate appeal of gardening. It mistakes the product for the purpose. It is true that a garden can produce peas that offer a taste of spring while finding tomatoes in the shops can take some time, effort and expense.A garden, especially in the early years, can also produce little but frustration. Beginning gardeners may plant the wrong crops for their soil. Squirrels have an annoying habit of taking single bites of cucumbers, beans and tomatoes, then leaving the rest on the vine (藤) to rot. _19_No matter. _20_ The deepest pleasure as with cooking, writing, bringing up children or almost anything worthwhile is in the work itself. To garden is to patiently, lovingly and diligently help life flourish, in the ground and above it.A. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it.B. Growing your own vegetables ensures a reliable supply.C. Well-stocked supermarket shelves are available all week.D. Some columnists long considered gardening a waste of time.E. However, supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages.F. By the time it reached the plate it may have been off the vine for two weeks.G. And even expert gardeners can lose a season's harvest to uncooperative
