It is one of the remote Aleutian islands. It is a place best known for its natural beauty. The coast is home to rich wildlife. Purple lupine flowers can be seen along roads through grassy hills. Hot springs cover the landscape. Snow-topped mountains and the Great Sitkin volcano rise in the distance.LocalsAdak Island is home to the native Aleut people. In town, fewer than 100 people live fulltime in old military houses.

People visit Adak to hunt, watch birds, climb mountains, or examine one of the many abandoned military bases. People also come to hike. There are many beautiful hikes on the island. One at Finger Bay offers views of the volcano. A hike to Lake Bonnie Rose includes an old abandoned military building built into hills.At Horseshoe Bay, brave people can climb down a rope to the coast below and nearby hot springs. At Clam Lagoon, people can watch harbor seals and sea lions playing in the water and warming themselves on the rocks.For bird watchers, the area is wonderful.

She wears the same school uniforma grey skirt and a green sweater. However, there is one difference.Sitienei is more than 80 years older than them. February 11 was Sitieneis ninety-ninth birthday. “The main reason for my going back to school was that I would like to become a doctor because I used to be a midwife(助产士),” she said. She added that her children were supportive of her decision.Back in 2003, the government of the East African country began helping to pay for the cost of primary schooling. This has allowed some older members of society, who had missed out on education in their younger days, to go back to school.This has given Sitienei more than an education. She has become a film star. Sitienei travelled to Paris last year for the launch of a film about her journey. It is titled Gogo, which means grandmother in her native Kalenjin language. She will also be heading to New York City soon for a showing of the film there.Sitienei is in her sixth year of primary school. She said her aims were far more practical than becoming a movie star. She said she had hoped that her great granddaughter would continue with her secondary school studies. But when she refused, Sitienei decided to go to school herself. She said, “I also enjoy school activities, including physical education classes. They keep me fit. I get to jump around, even though not as much as they do, but I at least move my body. That is my joy.”Sitienei shares her wide experience and knowledge with the children. Her teachers also use her experience to keep the peace during lessons. Her class teacher, Leonida Talaam, said, “I use Sitienei to help control the class. And it works! When I go outside. The class remains silent.”24. What does Sitienei mainly intend to do by going to school?A. Make herself popular.B. Take up a new career.C. Have more classmates.D. Travel abroad.25. For what did Sitienei go to Paris last year?A. Her late grandmother.B. The native language.C. A famous movie star.D. The release of her movie.26. Which word best describes Sitienei?A. Modest.B. Humorous.C. Active.D. Honest.27. What benefit has Sitienei brought to her teachers?A. Helping keep order in class.B. Organizing school activities.C. Stopping the students going out.D. Inspiring the students to work out.CSpeech and language recognition technology is a rapidly developing field, which has led to the birth of novel speech dialogue systems, such as Amazon Alexa and Siri. A significant landmark in the development of dialogue artificial intelligence (A) systems is the addition of emotional intelligence. A system that is able to recognize the emotional states of the user, in addition to understanding language, would generate a more empathetic (共情) response, leading to a more immersive (沉浸式) experience for the user.“ Multimodal sentiment analysis (多模态情感分析) ” is a group of methods that consist of the gold standard for an AI dialogue system with sentiment detection. These methods can automatically analyze a persons psychological (心理的) state from their speech, voice color, facial expression, and posture and are crucial for human-centered AI systems. The technique could potentially realize an emotionally intelligent AI with beyond-human capabilities, which understands the users sentiment and generates a response accordingly.However, current emotion estimation methods focus only on observable information and do not account for the information contained in unobservable signals, such as physiological signals. In a new study published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing, physiological signals were added to multimodal sentiment analysis for the first time by researchers from Japan.The team analyzed 2468 exchanges with a dialogue AI obtained from 26 participants to estimate the level of enjoyment experienced by the user during the conversation. On comparing all the separate sources of information, the biological signal information proved to be more effective than voice and facial expression. When we combined the language information with biological signal information to estimate the self-assessed internal state while talking with the system, the AIs performance became comparable to that of a human.These findings suggest that the detection of physiological signals in humans could pave the way for highly emotionally intelligent AI-based dialogue systems, making for more natural and satisfying human-machine interactions. Moreover, emotionally intelligent AI systems could help identify and monitor mental illness by sensing a change in daily emotional states.28. What is the breakthrough in the development of dialogue AI systems?A. The addition of emotional intelligence.B. The recognition of speech and language.C. The birth of novel speech dialogue systems.D. The creation of human-centered AI systems.29. How can multimodal sentiment analysis analyze a persons psychological state?A. By photographing what a person sees.B. By communicating directly with a person.C. Through a persons verbal and nonverbal languages.D. By receiving professional training from AI scientists.30. What does the underlined phrase “ pave the way ” in the last paragraph mean?A. Write an application.B. Create a situation.C. Have a talent.D. Keep an eye open.31. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Sports.C. Economy.D. TechnologyDAmericans spend a lot of time and money on health care. Many believe health care is a right for all people. The big debate is over “ will the care be private or public ” . The difference will be in who pays for it. Will it come from the pockets of those needing care, or will it come from the pockets of all taxpayers? The honest answer is that payments will come out of the pockets of both.You only need health care when you are ill. So, the next question is, what can we do about sickness? If there is less illness, the cost of health care will go down. The answer to that question is simple. We need to take better care of ourselves.Many experts say the fault lies in what we eat. Obesity, diabetes, and heart health are the biggest causes of illness. The biggest factor in those illnesses is the food we eat.“ Food Is Medicine ” is a new program. Health providers can include nutrition in the patients health records. Educators and trainers can talk about nutrition. Patients may be able to get prescriptions for healthy foods and produce.Governments are starting to tax sugary drinks. They can sponsor markets that sell pro-tective foods. These are foods such as fruits, nuts, vegetables, beans, plant oils, whole grains, yogurt, and fish. Government programs can lower levels of sodium, added sugar, and trans-fats.Schools are improving and expanding the quality of school meals. The National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program should get bigger. School garden programs are another way for-ward. The Food Stamp program offers a great chance to improve diet quality and health.It all adds up to making food health a national goal. In an ideal world, the public and private sectors would start to do this together. It is an area where science and business have to be partners. The subject of health should be at the front of health care.32. What is Americans major concern over health care?A. When they should take it out.B. Whether it is personal or public.C. When they should pay for it.D. Whether it is different from family care.33. According to the text, what can we do about sickness?A. Care for ourselves better.B. Save more money to cure it.C. Pay attention to what others say.D. Depend on the public to cure it.34. What does the author advise governments to do?A. Invest more in medical care.B. Expand the quantity of meals.C. Lower levels of tax on sugary drinks.D. Fund markets to sell protective foods.35. What can be the best title for the text?A. The Food We Eat Results In IllnessB. People Are Taking Action On Health CareC. The Best Health Insurance Is Health ItselfD.
