For thousands of years, donkeys have been critical for propelling humancivilizations forward. They've helped pull wheeled vehicles, carry travelers and movegoods across the world. Butwhere and when these animals first became intertwinedwith humans has been a mystery. Now, researchers have used genomes of over 200donkeys to trace their domestication back to a single event around 7, 000 years ago inEast Africa— about 3, 000 years before humans tamed horses. The team publishedtheir findings in the journal Science this month.

“Through their DNA, the animals are telling their history themselves, "co-author Samantha Brooks, an equine researcher at the University of Florida, says ina statement.*We usually only get the human's side of history through writtenaccounts, but of course written history does not always record exactly how somethinghappened. Looking at these DNA sequences, we get a biological testimony to theenvironment these animals lived in and the experiences they survived."

The researchers examined 207 genomes from modern donkeys living in 31countriesacross the globe. They also looked at genomes from 15 wild equines and31 earlicr donkeys that lived between about 4, 000 and 100 years ago. The teamreconstructed the animals’ evolutionary tree and used computer models to pinpointthe domestication event, when herders in Kenya and the Horn of Africa tamed wildasscs. They then traced how the animals spread across the rest of the continent intoEurope and Asia about 2, 500 years later.

Though it's still unclear why the original domestication happened, Science News'Freda Kreier reports that the event coincided with the Sahara growing larger and drier.“Donkeys are champions when it comes to carrying stuff and are good at going at

Paul Sabin deserts, ” co-author Ludovic Orlando, an evolutionary biologist at PaulSabin University in France, tells the publication. Prehistoric humans may have tameddonkeys’ help navigate the expanding Sahara.

Researchers say these findings could help put donkeys in the spotlight. Theanimals could benefit from more research: Currently, there are no published genomesfrom donkeys locatedsouth of the Equator in Africa. But understanding where theanimals were first domesticatedcould guide archacologists to a narrow region tosearch for insights about the original tamed donkeys.

Not only does human-understanding the equines' genetic makeup help revealtheir contributions to human history, but it also might improve their management inthe future, as climate change alters the planet's environment, write the authors.

21. What can be learned about donkeys from paragraph 1?

[A]They seemed mysterious to human ancestors.

[B]They underwent multiple domestication events.

[C] They were tamed at an earlier time than horses.

[D] They were vividly portrayed by ancient travelers.

23. In their study, the researchers investigated how donkeys _________

Adispersed widely in the world.

[B]survived with the help of herders.

[C]developed certain behavioral traits.

[D]adapted to the changing environment.

24. As to why the original domestication of donkeys happened, Orlando ________

[A]challenges conventional ideas.

There's no business like show business—but in Los Angeles, it feels like there'sno business at all.

If that sounds melodramatic, consider this: The Art Directors Guild. a laborunion representing about 3, 000 film workers including set designers, art directors andmany other artists, has suspended a training program and issued a statementexplaining that “we cannot in good conscience encourage you to pursue ourprofession while so many of our members remain unemployed.”The guild'spessimism is a reaction to Hollywood's decline, which is reaching a critical point forthe industry and Southern California.

Production has been slipping away from Hollywood since the 1950s, but theeffects have never been more apparent than at present. Other regions in the UnitedStates, Canada and Europe have steadily increased incentives to attract TV shows andmovies, leaving California in the dust. Georgia which is where many Marvel TVshows and movies are shot offers up to 30% in transferable tax credits on film and TVproduction costs, plus an additional 10% increase on the base tax credit if the projectincludes a Georgia promotional logo. Actors, directors and crew prefer to stay close to

their homes in Los Angeles to film, but it's hard for studios to pass up getting a thirdof their money back if they film outside of California.

Even as California lost a huge volume of production to other locations, there wasstill plenty of film production taking place in Los Angeles before this year —sufficient work that many people could make a living in the industry. We were keptafloat by “peak TV", the glut of content that was required by the explosion ofstreaming services.

But 2022 was the peak of peak TV. Back then platforms such as Nefix Amazonand Apple TV hemorrhaged billions of dollars to generate content to attract newsubscribers, resulting in 633 scripted serics being released that year. As the streamers’emphasis changed from subscriber growth to profitability, prices for the services wentup and the number of new shows went down to 481 release in 2023, with the numberexpected to dip into the 300s within a few years.

In other words, we're about to really feel the pain from losing productions toGeorgia, Canada and Eastern Europe. And I don't mean “we” as in artists andindustry creatives—I'm talking “we” as in all of California.

As TV and movie productions slowly come back after the writers' and actors’strikes, they're nowhere near the volume of 2022—and for the most part, nowherenear Los Angeles. Disney has 22 live-action movies slated for production in 2024.with only three to be filmed in California. Other studios such as Sony, Warner Bros, and Universal Picture are following the same script and taking the majority of theirproduction dollars outside of California.

New York, already one of California's biggest competitors, just announced ahuge increase to its film tax credit program, making filming in New York even moreattractive.

Los Angeles has been a great partner to filmmakers for decades because of oursunlight, studios and locations — all of which have built up a critical mass ofworld-class local talent in front of and behind the camera. But we must now do moreto keep Hollywood in Hollywood.

The California Film Commission, a state government agency, recently awarded$152 million in tax credit for 12 television projects. That $152 million is expected tobring in a return of 1.1 billion in revenue for in-state local workers and businesseswhile employing 2, 300 crew member, 2, 200 cast members and thousands morebackground performers.

If productions in Southern California dip below a critical level for too long, theindustry's essential talent will drift away along with enormous sums of revenue.Persuading studios to film here would become much more challenging if we couldn’toffer a deep bench of local filmworkers, on-screen talent and local businesses thatsupport the entertainment industry.

That's why the California Film Commission and its Los Angeles counterpart, FilmLA, should act now, before it's too late. Those agencies and other government bodiesshould dramatically improve incentives to keep our current shows and attract newproductions to Los Angeles. Let ’s go on with the show... and make sure the showdoesn’t go on without us.

26. The Art Directors Guild’s statement reveals___________

[A] people's reduced interest in film.

[B] film workers’ nostalgia for the past.

[C] the appeal of Southern California.

[D] the gloomy situation of Hollywood.

27. The example of Georgia is used to illustrate the efforts to___________

[A] lure production with tax incentives.

[B] drive improvements in film facilities.

[C] stimulate competition among states.

[D] collect funds for film and TV making.

28. Peak TV passed its peak as__________

[A] streamers lost their technical advantages.

[B] streamers changed their strategic priorities.

[C] subscribers grew wary of large platforms.

[D] subscribers were unhappy with new shows.

29. According to paragraph 6, California’s entertainment industry might face__________

[A] a decline in product quality.

[B] a demand for foreign talent.

[C] a brain drain to other places.

[D] a dramatic rise in labor costs.

30. The author concludes the text by emphasizing that California should striveto_________

|A] maintain its position in the industry.

[B] attract more investment than it had.

[C] pursue a higher standard of production.

[D] strengthen coordination with other states.

The pioneers of wireless saw it as a gift to all the people. The BBCdirector-general Sir John Reith said that it would end “isolation of the spirit” andrejoiced:“It does not matter how many thousands may be listening, there is alwaysenough for others...the genius and the fool, the wealthy and the poor listensimultancously.”

Between two great wars this technological innovation built a new kind ofnational consciousness. Opening this weck, a book and exhibition curated by BeattyRubens at the Bodleian in Oxford records how radio changed everyday life from 1922to 1939. as primitive crystal-and-wire devices evolved into sunburst-grille boxes. She

draws on letters, diaries and fiction, and a 1939 field notebook of verbatim audienceresearch by Winifred Gill. There's fun in testimonies of people enjoying the sheernewness. A cartoon mocks a group failing to converse because they're all inheadphones. People report that broad music made workmen whistle new tunes. Awoman says there have been fewer street fights since the arrival of the wireless butalso less stopping and “talking on the brush handle".

By and large the wireless was welcome: I loved the chap from the Thirtiesresearch who found that wireless suddenly offered “a lot of variety... things I thoughtI'd never be interested in...ice hockey, perhaps ”. True: for more than 80 pre-digitalyears, linear speech broadcasting brought the gift of serendipity, random enlivening ofa car journey or dull manual task. In my own book about radio I recorded how, on onedrive: “I caught up with the news, learned some 17th-century history, and wasstartlingly educated by an unpretentious programme on the history of thestethoscope."

But radio's enriching serendipity is ebbing. With multiple networks, BBC Soundsand countless podcasts, a smartphone user selects what to hear and when. And while itis wonderful to take a walk with anything in your headphones, infinite choiceencourages us to shrink into niche interests and sympathetic beliefs.

A hundred years on from Marconi and Reith, is the art of mere listeningendangered? Some will say the audio book boom revives it, though I suppose you canthen worry about the decline of reading. But inventions shape all of us and it is worthnoticing when techno-social habits do change, and asking whether to control them abit or shield the youngest.

Whatever we do, innovation will happen. Today we fret about the isolating cultureof smartphone-staring and selfic-vanity, but already in1939 there was that ladyregretting how, when all her street got wirelesses, it lost the neighbourly habit of“talking on the brush handle.” It’s enough to make a person put down the smartphoneand go out front with a yard broom.

31. What can be learnt about wireless from Reith?

[A| It was accessible to everyone.

[B] It improved interpersonal relations.

[C] It was a miracle of human ingenuity.

[D] It led to a new era of isolating culture.

32.What is the theme of the exhibition at the Bodleian in Oxford?

[A| The impact of radio on its early audience.

[B] The role of radio in public music education.

[C] The innovation process of radio technology.

[D] The eminent pioneers in radio broadcasting.

33. It is indicated in Paragraph 4 that___________

[A] the research on radio used to be inadequate.

[B] the charm of radio remains in the digital age.

[C] radio listeners could make unexpected gains.

[D] radio shows have changed little over the years.

34. The expression “talking on the brush handle” in Paragraphs 3 and 6 refers to theact of___________

[A] making a loud noise.

[B] having a casual chat.

[C] starting a trivial quarrel.

[D] humming a popular song.

35. In the last paragraph, the author intends to express the opinion that___________

[A] technology should be aimed at benefiting humans.

[B] actions should be taken to revive the art of listening.

[C] adolescents should form healthy social media habits.

[D] people should adopt a sensible attitude to impacts.

When Tom Swetnam joined the U.S. Forest Service in the 1970s, his mandatewas to “put everything out, ” he recalled. But when Swetnam enrolled in graduateschool at the University of Arizona's Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research, he wassurprised to find a record of repeated blazes dating back hundreds of years beforeEuropean colonists arrived on the continent. Some of the trees he analyzed bore morethan 20 fire scars among their rings.

The fact that fires happened so often meant they couldn't have been severeenough to kill most trees. Instead, a growing body of research showed that frequent, low-severity fires made many ecosystems healthier. They rid the forest of dead andsick trees, reducing competition and curbing the spread of disease. Becauseflammable material couldn't build up on the landscape, blazes tended to move slowlyand peter out when they reached the footprints of previous burns.

In 2022, Swetnam and other scientists teamed up to compile a database offire-scarred treesfrom across the continent. Their North American tree-ringfire-scar network (NAFSN) provided the basis for a study published last month. In thestudy, the researchers compared the historical fire cadence with the wildfires recordedover the past few decades, and uncovered a striking shortfall. The NAFSN sitesexperienced less than a quarter of the number of fires that would have been expectedwithout fire suppression.

This deficit is a testament to the effectiveness of modern firefighting, said KellyMartin, a past president of the International Association of Wildland Fire. Yet thecombined consequences of suppression and climate change have eroded humanity'sability to suppress fires, particularly those that ignite under the most dangerousweather conditions.

To prevent cntire ccosystems from going up in smoke, Martin said, pcople mustbring healthy fire back to places that need it. At Yosemite National Park. Martinoversaw the use of what are known as prescribed burns to make the landscape moreresilient. These fires were carefully planned and intentionally ignited during periodswhen weather kept the blazes easy to control, and helped eliminate some of the fuel

that had build up around the important park's facilities. Research shows that theseprescribed burns make subsequent wildfires less severe, even if later fires happenunder the most dangerous weather conditions.

Yet even as scientists and public officials increasingly agree on the need formore fires in our forests, climate change is making this tactic more challenging experts said. “It's a double-edged sword because wildfires are getting more severeand larger under climate change and we need this work even more, but then the workgets more challenging, ” said Susan Prichard, a fire ecologist at the University ofWashington.

36. According to Paragraph 1, Swetnam was surprised by

[A] the scarcity of tree-ring research in the U.S.

[B] the firefighting measures in ancient Europe.

[C] the forest management practices in the 1970s.

|D] the number of wildfires in precolonial times.

37. Paragraph 2 mainly focuses on__________

[A] the causes of previous burns.

[B] the treatment of diseased trees.

[C] the benefits of low-severity fires.

[D] the importance of forest ecosystems.

38. What did the study find about the wildfires over the past few decades?

__________

[A] Their intensity has vastly fluctuated.

[B| Their frequency has markedly decreased.

[C] Their threats have been underestimated.

[D] Their records have been misinterpreted.

39. What can be inferred about modern firefighting?

[A] Its workforce needs more training.

[B] Its effectiveness is questioned by the public.

[C] It may render traditional tactics useless.

|D] It may make severe fires harder to put out.

40.Both Martin and Prichard would agree that__________

[A] it is challenging to predict large wildfires.

[B] it is urgent to assess the use of planned fires.

[C] it is necessary to introduce prescribed burns.

[D] it is rewarding to double fire detection efforts.

[A] And just read a single poem. In his Oxford lectures, Seamus Heaney argued that apoem draws a picture of reality, a “glimpsed alternative” that sets up a contradictionwith your own, in ways little and large. The negotiation, between you and it, is theheart of the matter. What does the poet see that you don't? What does the differencemean? It could be one of the best conversations you ever have. Forget self-help books;reading is self-help in action.

[B] But for the most part, this isn’t what the business community does. I have yet tomeet a chief executive who reads regularly. Many skip newspapers, and magazinesare a stretch. They don't have time, they say. It's incfficient; they can get theinformation they need from those around them. At a pinch, they might pick up abusiness book before a long flight, in the hope that, like a cookbook, it will provide a

foolproof recipe. Some are drawn to what I think of as “business car crash” books—the stories of Theranos, Purdue, or WeWork. But outside those narrow pools ofinterest, a vast ocean awaits, bountiful with simmering ideas, mental adventure andimaginative refreshment.

IC] Neuroscientists have been at pains to demonstrate that the pleasure a bookprovides isn’t indulgence; it's good for you. Reading will keep you better informedabout the world but it can also improve our tech-shattered ability to concentrate.Standing in the shoes of others fine tunes our social understanding, useful as westruggle to understand friends, neighbours, customers and co-workers. Different partsof our brain engage as we simulate scenes, characters and mental states. Ourimagination—remember that?—is rekindled.

[D] It is undoubtedly true that all work and no play really does make Jack. or Jill. dull The cure is right at hand, reading is cheap, easy and, most important, it's fun. Liberateyour imagination this year.

[E] We are living through a golden age of science writing. So lucid and accessible thateven lay readers can relish the unpredictability of discovery. Daunted by uncertainty?Stand in the shoes of scientists and witness the degree to which breakthroughs emergefrom accidents, conflict andsheer mental stamina. "We are never sure of anything, ”says the physicist (and writer) Carlo Rovelli.

[F] You don't need to get out more. If, like most business people, you spend your lifedashing from office to plane, train to home, boardroom to washroom, what you reallyneed to do is stay in more. Sit down—and read a book.

[G] Reading has also been found to make us more helpful, to reduce bias, and even toincrease longevity - something we will enjoy all the more if we have a good book inour hands. (And yes, all these benefits are more closely associated with physicalbooks than digital ones.)

[H] Read fiction. Any fiction. Free yourself from algorithms and choosc-anything youdon't need technology for an immersive experience just surrender to narratives acrosstime and place. Modern (Sebastian Barry or Olga To karczuk), classic (VirginiaWoolfor James Baldwin) or genre (Stephen King, Margaret Atwood, Georges

Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments intoChinese. Write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)

Science education today revolves around the idea of scientific literacy — thebase-level knowledge about science that nonscientists require to effectively get on inthe world. Thisconcept has served as a central goal for curriculum developers, localschool boards, business and community leaders, and policymakers ever since itsintroduction nearly 80 years ago.

(46) Tracing the history of the term, we can see how the definition of scientificliteracy has shifted over time, muddying the waters when it comes to determining thegoals of science education. And that's a shame, because there is much to recommendin the idea of scientific literacy as it was originally articulated in 1945, a time whenscicnce appeared to be the key to progress and scientists scemingly held the fate of theworld in their hands.(47) A return to that version of scientific literacy, whichfocused more on teaching what science is and how it works and less on memorizingscientific facts, seems like something socicty today desperately needs.

In the United States, the desire to provide the public with a general, nontechnicalcducation in science originated as far back as the late 1800s. (48) Educators advancedthe idea of having students complete detailed laboratory exercises in high schools in

the belief that such work was beneficial primarily as a way to enhance logicalreasoning and observational skills. The development in 1915 of the popular newsubject “general science ” was another effort to train students to apply the principlesof science to everyday, nonscience problems.

Although these efforts were aimed at the nonscience-bound student, they neverreally made their way into mainstream thought and public discourse as a means torally widespread support for the importance of science teaching in schools. (49) Itwasn't until the phrase “scientific literacy” came along in the 1940s that science hadthe formidable slogan it needed to command public attention and make improvingscience education an important national goal.

(50) The intense focus on scientific literacy in the United States originally grewout of the critical role of science and technology during World War II, as well as theperceived deficiencies of American soldiers. As the war unfolded, science rapidlyassumed a central role. Battlesincreasingly depended on new military technologiessuch as radar and the proximity fuze. Science-based analytical approaches provedremarkably successful in the hunt for German submarines in the Atlantic Ocean. Andthere was the (then-secret) work building the world's first atomic bomb. As a result, scientists-physicists in particular-found themselves in high demand.

一项关于养老机器人的消费者接受度和首要关注点调查

参考范文：

These are two charts, clearly showing the striking contrasts in customers'acceptability and major considerations for robots to look after the elderly. To bespecific, the left pie chart illustrates that fully accepting ranks first, accounting for39.3%, followed by partly accepting, with 32.8%. Finally comes those who reject, at27.9%. Meanwhile, the right chart displays that 46.3% of customers care about withthe price.

Such statistics, definitely, can be associated with the influences of technologyupon modern life. Admittedly, in recent years, China has been characterized by theboom and prosperity in economy, which has enabled a growing number of citizens topossess extra incomes to enjoy a higher quality of life, better medical service andlonger lifespans. However, compared with the past years, youngsters nowadays aremuch busier with life, work and learning, and they don't have adequate time to lookafter elderly parents. Thus, a few corporations have developed intelligent robots tocare for senior citizens, which are marked by diverse powerful functions, such assinging, dancing, chatting, and making an emergency call. A majority of families arewilling to accept robots, if the price is not so high, since these robots can give theelderly delight, inspire their passion for life, and help them ease loneliness.

However, as a youngster, I deem that it is advisable for adult children toaccompany elderly parents more since it is children's love that enables them to enjoymore warmth and true happiness.

这是两张图表，清晰地展示了消费者在养老机器人方面的接受程度和主要考虑因素方面的显著差异。具体而言，左侧的饼状图显示，“完全接受”占比最高，达 39.3%；其次是“部分接受”，占 32.8%；而“拒绝接受”的比例为27.9%。与此同时，右侧图表表明，46.3%的消费者关心的是价格。

这些统计数据无疑与科技对现代生活的影响密切相关。诚然，近年来中国经济繁荣发展，使越来越多民众拥有了更多可支配收入，从而能够享受更高品质的生活、更优质的医疗服务以及更长的寿命。然而，与过去相比，如今的年轻人在生活、工作和学习上更为忙碌，难以抽出足够时间照料年迈的父母。因此，一些企业开发了具备多种强大功能的智能照护机器人，例如唱歌、跳舞、聊天以及紧急呼叫等。如果价格不过高，大多数家庭都愿意接受这类机器人，因为它们能给老年人带来快乐，激发他们对生活的热情，并有效缓解孤独感。

然而，作为一名年轻人，我认为成年子女应更多陪伴年迈的父母，因为唯有子女的关爱，才能让他们感受到更多温暖
