to sleep because I missed home so much.I didn't know how to deal with these heavy feelings.
To keep myself busy,I joined many campus activities and looked for internship
opportunities.In my free time,I tried new hobbies like photography and music.I tried to

to deal with my emotions instead of avoiding them.I started learning meditation and

problems.I decided to be more active in social activities while staying focused on my studies.

A new United Nations (UN)report says one-fifth of the world's migratory
animals are at risk of disappearing.Animals that migrate move from one area to another at
【高一英语第4页(共10页)】
different times of the year.
The threats (the animals face include habitat loss,illegal hunting,pollution and
natural disasters like climate change.Many kinds of migratory animals,including songbirds,
sea turtles,whales,sharks and others,move to different environments as the seasons
change.
The UN report says about 44 percent of migratory species (around the world are
decreasing in population.In addition,about one in five of 1,200 species watched by the UN
are at risk of becoming endangered,or completely disappearing.
These are species that move around the globe.They move to feed and breed and also need
sites to stop along the way.Any habitat loss or other threats during their trips can make the
animal populations fall."Migration is important to some species.If you cut the migration,
you're going to kill the species,"said an expert.
The researchers examined existing data,including information from the International
Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species.The list identifies wildlife
across the world facing threats at present.
The report was presented at a meeting of the UN's Convention on the Conservation of
Migratory Species of Wild Animals in Samarkand,Uzbekistan.Attendees of the gathering are
examining suggestions for conservation measures.They are also working to identify new
species of concern.Susan Lieberman is vice president of the international policy at the Wildlife
Conservation Society,a non-governmental organization.She said,"One country alone cannot
save any of these species."
The report found habitat loss affected up to 75 percent of the species studied.The report
said this shows a big need for more connectivity between separated ecosystems.It pushes
governments to take steps to avoid harming habitats and migration paths when building dams,
pipelines or wind power equipment.
28.What does the UN report mainly show?
A.Most animals are disappearing.
B.Migratory animals face threats.
C.Migratory species are increasing.

A newspaper company in the US says it will start using artificial intelligence(人工智f能)
or AI technology to write short stories.The company recently announced a plan to use
generative AI to add short pieces of information to the top of each story.The company adds it
will test the system later this year.Human writers and editors will look at what the
technology produces and decide whether it meets the company's standards for publishing.
Renn Turiano is a top official of the newspaper company.He explained that AI
technology can be useful to reduce boring jobs performed by journalists(新闻工作者).He
noted that the newspaper company will test its AI system slowly before it is permanently
used.
Some news organizations launched (the technology-based materials too quickly and
experienced problems.This included cases where AI systems created errors in stories.
Turiano said,"We're not making that mistake."
Earlier this year,two publishers-Men's Journal and CNET-had problems with AI-
created materials.In January,CNET reported that a number of stories written by AI had
appeared on its website without being checked by humans.Many of the stories contained
mistakes.In February,Men's Journal published some AI-created stories on its website that
also contained mistakes.
News organizations need to take their time with generative Al.It is advised that they
should not use such tools to publish stories without any human involvement in the process.
The newspaper company recently announced that it was cutting 600 jobs.Some of the
journalists still working there worry that AI will one day replace them.In early June,
hundreds of the workers left their jobs for a short time to protest job cuts and low pay.The
labor group that represents some of the journalists says the newspaper company's use of
generative AI is one of the main concerns.However,the newspaper company stresses the
technology will not replace humans.Instead,it is designed to help an increasing number of
employees be more effective and give them more time to do other valuable work.Journalists from the
USA Today publication are examining test stories written by its generative AI system.
32.What does the underlined phrase"generative AI"in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.AI that can produce information.
B.AI that can keep editors company.
C.AI that can look after human writers.
D.AI that can monitor a company's system.
【高一英语第6页(共10页)】
33.Why does the newspaper company develop its AI?
A.To reduce the journalists'workloads.
B.To manage some news organizations.
C.To solve some math problems.
D.To test humans'intelligence.
34.Why does the author mention Men's Journal and CNET?
A.To show AI can work as well as humans.
B.To show Al is a perfect writing tool.
C.To show Al is a very slow learner.
D.To show AI can make mistakes.

Throughout my years of road-tripping,I've gone through scary accidents,moments of
excitement,endless boredom,and everything in between.36.I'd like to share some with
you before you start your adventure.
Plan your route(路线)ahead of time
Being spontaneous(常心血来的)is excellent,but do yourself a favor and plan the
route you want to take before you hit the road.37.You can either set out on a boring trip
or enjoy amazing sights.Certain routes may seem less direct,but they also might lead you to
more amazing stops on the way to your destination.
Accept adjusting(调整)your plan
38,even if they seem perfect at first.You might find some really fun things to do on
your trip.It's not a good idea to miss out just because you made a strict plan that you won't
change.If so,be open to changing plans on the road.Allow yourself and your fellow travelers
to be free to do things as they feel like it,because that's what traveling without a strict plan is
all about.
Pack the right repair tools
Even if you have roadside emergency service,don't forget to bring the necessary tools to
get you back on the road if your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere.39.So it's
best to be prepared for a breakdown with the proper tools.
