C She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Comwall.No way could I have sent her away.No way，not me anyway.Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before.

That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk.We were a long way from home，when she started barking（吠） and getting very restless.Finally I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could. By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and worried about Goldie.But when I saw her licking （舔）the four puppies I started to feel sorry for them. "We didn't know what had happened to her，" said the woman at the door.

But this piece of French history is now at the center of a storm after the city's police ordered that the booksellers and their stalls （排位） be relocated for "safety reasons" to make way for the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympic Games in 2024. One plan was for booksellers' boxes to remain in place but they must be examined by the police first and sealed off （封锁） during the Olympic event，which would attract millions of visitors to the city﹣including many who would potentially visit their stalls.Another plan，was to move the boxes elsewhere.As booksellers point out，many boxes have been in place for 30 or 40 years.Most are rusted and all their parts are not strong enough. Although the city's government has offered to relocate the bookstalls and cover the cost of the move as well as repairing damaged stalls，booksellers say the lack of consultation over a decision affecting a Paris landmark has left them fearful about the future. Plus，there's concern about what will happen when the Olympics are over."Are they even going to offer us the same spots again after the games ？" asked a bookseller. "I'm afraid that we get our boxes back either in a year，or maybe never，" he said. Booksellers worried that not only would moving the boxes be much more expensive for the capital，but a relocated book market wouldn't work. "The stalls only make sense when they are on the banks of the Seine，"they said.The attraction and culture of the boxes is their age﹣worn character （1）What trouble are Paris booksellers facing now？ 　 　 A.Their stalls are considered as a risk for Paris.

D.They are not a Paris landmark. （4）What is the best title for the text？ 　 　 A.Paris Bookstalls Being Moved for Safety Reasons B.Paris Bookstalls Make the Banks of Seine Attractive C.Arguments over the Location of Paris Bookstalls D.Paris's Preparation for Olympic Games 2024 D In this age of rapid AI technological development，most people would know the name NVIDIA，a prominent （著名的） For a long time，NVIDIA has been dominating the graphics cards（显卡） industry with its leading computer chips.Earlier this year，it became the first chipmaker to have a market worth of 2 trillion dollars（about 14.5 trillion yuan） What is an AI chip？ The uniqueness of AI chips comes from the GPU，or graphics processing unit，which is the core （核心的），it shows surprising computing power.Unlike a central processing unit （CPU），which can only carry out" one piece of number at a time，which is called "parallel processing （并行处理）".This allows a GPU to deal with much more difficult tasks（渲染）high﹣resolution graphics and processing large amounts of data，much more rapidly than a CPU. Therefore，gamers buy GPUs to get a better video game experience since GPUs can help create 3 Dcharacters and scenes that run smoothly and look realistic.People also saw the value of GPUs in solving complex calculations required for cryptocurrency （加密货币）mining.That's why the price of GPUs doubled or even tripled between 2019 and 2021. Nowadays，as GPUs prove to be key to AI model training，more advanced AI chips are being made for specialized AI tasks.Companies such as OpenAI and Google use Al chips to speed up and enhance （增强），machine learning，and deep learning algorithms （算法），the sky's the limit for Al chips.

B.Controlling. C.Learning about. D.Paying attention to. （2）What makes GPUs important for AI model training？ 　 　 A.Their being gotten at low prices. B.Their capacity for storing large amounts of data. C.Their ability to process multiple pieces of data at once. D.Their performance in cryptocurrency mining. （3）What is the main focus of paragraph 5？ 　 　 A.The high demand for CPUs. B.Possible usage of GPUs. C.why GPUs are popular. D.How GPUs perfor complex calculations. （4）How do AI chips help the development of AI technologies？ 　 　 A.They boost CPU performance. B.They improve the gaming experience. C.They increase the value of cryptocurrencies. D.They enhance deep learning algorithms. 第二节阅读下面短文，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。 Fireworks are one of many Americans' favorites.While it's safer to leave the show to the professionals and attend a public display，many people also love to shoot off their own. （1）　 　Fireworks can cause serious burns and injuries，even death.It's extremely important that you do everything you can to deal with fireworks safely. （2）　 　The first step to keep yourself safe is to obey all local fireworks laws.States determine what's legal （合法的）for you to use.In four states，consumer fireworks are completely illegal.It can even differ by county or municipality （市）.
