How to solve child protection issues.Years ago, I 叩peared on stage with the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir（合唱团）in ihe Town Hall. There I was, my feet in plain shoes, sweat dirtying my clean white shirt, singing my heart out in front of the big organ. I still have a tape recording of that performance somewhere, where I swear I can hear myself singing, high and thin and possibly off-key.But life got in the way and I stopped singing. Then, in the summer of 2019, I found myself facing some shadows in my own life. It felt as if it had been a long time between songs, as if there was something unsung, some absent music in my ears. I began to fear I might be making myself ill and unable to breathe in a nonnal way.Could singing help me reclaim my voice and calm iny fast-beating heart? Research from the Royal Society noted that “group singing can improve physical and mental health, as well as promote social bonds”. So, rather than letting my unsung tunes strangle me, I decided to take on a new choral experience, one being in the Big Feminist Sing, a community choir.“If you don't know what to sing,“ the choir director said, “find someone who looks confident, and go and stand next to them. Find a friend if you're in trouble; take a risk; use your voice; be part of something bigger than yourself. I've been singing in the choir ever since, because group singing gives me a sense of security and each rehearsal（排演）is a lifeline, a connected thread, an intake of air working toward a collective voice. It doesn't matter if I am a bit off-key to start with. Decades of unsung situations have changed, and I have flown.4. How did the author feel during her performance in the Town Hall?A. Thrilled.B.Nervous.C. Confident.D.Curious.5. What does the underlined word “strangle“ in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Reach.B.Blind.C. Cheat.D.Choke.6. What does the author leani from her latest choir experience?A. Finding a true friend is never easy.B. Teamwork has benefited her a lot.C. The choir director's position counts.D. Singing alone improves her health.7. Which can be the best title for the text?A. The Amazing Power of Group SingingB. Confidence Out of Lasting SingingC. Changes from Stage ExperiencesDinosaurs wandered the earth fbr 160 million years until their sudden disappearance some 65. 5 million years ago. For many years, climate change had been considered as a possible explanation. Lower temperatures made it hard fbr dinosaurs, which were cold-blooded, to obtain body heat from the sun and the air. Also, their food supplies were interrupted. In recent years, there has been a new theory about how an object struck Earth and caused dinosaurs to die off. A number of researchers have presented evidence that the impact was caused by an asteroid（小彳亍星），which came from an area between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.But a study by two astronomers from Harvard University presents another new theory: the crash was caused by a comet（彗星）.The researchers say the comet came from an area, known as the Oort cloud, on the edge of the solar system. Their theory states the comet was pulled into the solar system by Jupiter's gravity. The comet then came very close to the sun, whose force made it break into pieces. The researchers believe one of the pieces crashed into the place that scientists have identified in Mexico.“Jupiter is so critical because it's the largest planet in our solar system,“ said Amir Si raj, the lead author of the study. He added that the findings showed that Jupiter's large influence pushes “these incoming long-period comets into orbits that bring them very close to the sun''. The event is believed to have caused widespread wildfires, earthquakes and ocean waves. It also released chemicals into the atmosphere, leading to severe cooling. The event is to blame for destroying more than 70 percent of plant and animal life. In addition, dinosaurs died out.The study also suggests that similar impacts can be expected to strike Earth about once every 250 to 730 million years.But the other lead researcher on the project, professor Avi Loeb, noted that is just a guess.44You never know when the next one will come, he said. "The best way to find out is to search the sky.”8. What made dinosaurs disappear according to many researchers?A. Loss of food supplies.B. Heat sources* shrinking.C. An asteroid's hitting Earth.9. What do Han ard's astronomers find?D. Climate change on Earth.A. Jupiter's force breaks comets.B. Some bit of a comet fell onto Earth.C. Dinosaurs last lived in Mexico.D. The Oort cloud circles the solar system.10. What message is conveyed in paragraph 3?A. Comets rarely get close to the sun.B. Earth is closely linked to other planets.C. Jupiter is the solar system's most vital planet.11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?D. Jupiter indirectly causes dinosaurs' extinction.A. New Theory: What Killed DinosaursB. Rare Visitor: How Comets Affect EarthC. Who Is to Blame fbr Earth's Change?D. When Did Dinosaurs Become Extinct?DAs AI technology becomes more advanced, we can expect it to be used more often in the world of human medicine and health care. But is it possible to create Ais that rapidly outperfbnn doctors in certain tasks?AI is designed to copy the human brain in decision making and learning with the computing power to learn tasks in days or even hours. Most of the AI systems working in medicine employ smart algorithms（算法）with the machine and deep learning techniques and are accompanied by speech recognition and computer or machine vision, thus helping them make their decisions more quickly and accurately when used in the medical field.AI systems should learn about human medicine before they can be adapted fbr people in hospitals and care homes. As a result, they are trained on large data sets of real-life cases. Detailed patient information in quantity is able to help fuel AI technologies, which plays a hugely important role in the success of medical Ais. One of the most important areas fbr Al's influencing global health is in the field of epidemiology（流行病学）.Predicting disease outbreaks can save millions of lives by having resources ready if the worst happens. The company AIME has succcssfiiliy combined public health data with machine learning and AI to create a prediction engine able to predict epidemics months in advance with great accuracy.Another field where medical Ais are making rapid advances is in diagnostics（诊断学）.Ais use pattern recognition to work through X-ray, CT and MRI images with unbelievable speed and accuracy. They have been able to do better than junior doctors and even senior specialists in some tests.Rima Arnaout, an expert on heart disease, developed an AI that beat human doctors at correctly interpreting images by 92 percent to 79 percent. ''Despite the result, as experts, we read the images and then go to see the patient,M she said. “So wc'rc both reading images and practicing medicine. I don't think that the second piece will be taken over so quickly. 12. What is the puipose of paragraph 2?A. To explain the way AI systems work.C. To introduce different tasks AI performs.13. What mainly helps Ais to learn medicine?A. Practice in hospitals and homes.C. Detailed infbnnation on technology.14. What can we infer from Rima Amaoul's words?A. Work of medical Ais should be valued.C. AI cannot replace doctors any time soon.15. What can be a suitable title fbr the text?A. A Growing Trend Toward AIB. To prove competence of AI in medicine.D. To show Al's development in health care.B. Data gathered from patients.D. Experience in treating real-life cases.B. There is no need fbr traditional treatment.D. It is urgent to apply AI systems in reality.B. Challenges to Modern MedicineD. The Rise of the Digital DoctorsC. Arguments over AI Technology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。Once you're older, you start to realize that you have certain inborn talents, weaknesses, passions（激情）and dislikes.And you will think about what kinds of jobs you will be doing. 16 However, you could easily find yourself dissatisfied later on and stuck in a job that doesn't make you happy at all. So you must figure out which career is best suited to you.If you have a particular passion that makes you excited and satisfied, you should try and turn it into a profitable career.

That is, consider your ideal work environment and what it would like; be as realistic as possible.2（） If you can narrow down the careers and/or jobs that you think might fit you, you should find out the types of education and experience it takes to break into those fields. In addition, get to know salaries, opportunities fbr career growth, typical benefits, others, career plans related to the field and so on.A. Therefore, do what you love.B. Making a realistic career plan is necessary as well.C. What's more, you're advised to do further research.D. Don't let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn,t do.E.
