However.that was small fry comparcd with the city's Circus Maximus,-which accommodatcd around 250,000 people. These days,safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan's desire for a good vicw and comfortable seat-tend to keep stadium capacities (slightly lower.Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each;gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match. For the biggest stadiums in the world.we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far,which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity,as well as updated information from official stadium websites All these stadiums are still funtional,still opon and still hosting the biggest cvents in world sport Rungrado 1st of May Stadium,Pyongyang D.P.R.Korea.Capacity:150,000.Opened:May 1,1989 Mlchlgan Stadium.Ann Arbor,Michigan,U.S.Capacity:107,601.Opened:October 1,1927.

D.Kyle Field. 23.What do the listed stadiums have in common? A.They host big gamcs. B.They have become tourist attractions. C.They were built by Americans.D.They are favored by architects. B When I was ten years old,I went to the US to visit some family friends.We travelled all the way from California to Las Vegas.I noticed something funny about the way everyone spoke English.I was thinking, "This is the way they speak in films!" At the beginning of the holiday,one of my friends asked me if I wanted to order "Frencb fries".I couldn't imagine what French fries were.What was fried and French?!Snails?Cheese?She was amazed that I had never tried them and she ordered a portion for us to share.When the waiter brought us some chips,I asked her where the French fries were.She pointed to the plate of chips!Later that week she said she was going to buy some"chips"from the supermarket.She came out with a packet of crisps! During that holiday we were also offered "biscuits and gravy"for our lunch.This was a very strange idea to me,because in England biscuits are sweet.Gravy is a salty,meat-based sauce.I lator rcalized that"biscuits"in America are savoury snacks.What we call "biscuits",they call"cookies". One day,I saw an"eggplant"pizza on the menu in a restaurant!Eggs do not grow on plants,I thought. What on earth could an "eggplant"be7 Something eggy and leafy?My dad ordered this pizza and it was covered in aubergines.I asked him where the "eggplant"was.He laughed and pointed to the aubergines.He told me,"They call this 'eggplant'in America!" Although the same "language"may be spoken in different countries,there are likely to be many 3 differences.not just in vocabulary but also in spelling.grammar and pronunciationl I think part of the excitement of learning a language is discovering the differences in bow it is spoken in different places. 24.What can we learn from paragrapb 2? A.Holiday is a good time to relax. B.French fries are popular worldwide. C.The waiter provided poor service.D.Chips and crisps are the same food. 25.Where does the author most probably come from?

A.Advantages of travelling. B.High-end restaurants. C.Food and tradition. D.Cross-cultural misunderstanding Q In Japan,the new year began with disaster as a 7.5magnitude carthquake struck the Noto Peninsula( 叠半岛)on the country's westem edge More than2,000 active fault lines(断层钱)lie beneath Japan, making it one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world. Many scientists have long considered earthquake forecasting to be impossible.But given recent improvements in artificial intelligence,some researchers have beea studying whetber that could change. In 2023,researchers at the University of Texas at Austin increased such hopes for carthquake predictioo with a seven-month trial in China.In all,the algorithm (successfully forecast 14 earthquakes,each within about 200 miles of where it estimated they would happen and at almost exactly the calculated strength Meanwhile,it missed one quake and gave eight false warnings.The trial was part of an interational Al-design competition,one of a few such events beld in recent years to advance earthquake prediction technologies. Sergey Fomel,a geoscientist at UT Austin and a member of the research team.says in a statement,"We're not yet.close to making predictions for anywhete in the world,but-what we-achieyed tells us that whatwe thout wasan impossible proble is solvable in principl. "Additionally.machine leerning could help detect hidden patterus in data or collect more data to better inform earthquake forecasting."Hutchison writes for MIT Technology Review.For example,some researchers are showing how AI might use recordings of a specific seismic site to anticipate an earthquake's magnitude.One team has built and trained neural networks to predict where aftersbocks may occur after an initial strike.And others are using machine learing to identify and extrnct scismic waves-the vibrations that spread through the earth during tectonic activity ()-from other noises in the ground 28.What's the function of the first paragraph? A.To explain a concept B.To introduce a topic. C.To present a summary. D.To provide an example. 29.What made some researchers optimistic about earthquake forecasting? A.Tho recent progress in theories. B.The use of traditional mcthods. C.The incroasing number of carthquakos. D.The advancoments in artificial intelligenco. 30.What do we know from the third paragraph? AThe trial was conducted by Chincse. B.The nlgorithm was totally successful. C.Al shows promlse for carthquake prediction. D.Tho AI compotition only focused on carthquakes. 31.Whnt is the bost title for the passage? A.Japan's Vulnernbility to Earthqunkos B.A Helpor in Prodicting Earthquakos---AI C.The Impossibility of Earthquako Prediction D.Intornationnl Efforts to Predict Earthquakes D When leamning a foreign Iangunge,most peoplo fall back on traditional methods:reading.writing. Listcning and repeating.But if you nlso gesturo (with your arms while studying,you can romember the vocabulary better,evcn months later.Linking a word to brain areas rosponsible for movcrnont strengthens the memory of its mcaning.This is the conclusion a research toam reached after using magnctic pulses (to disturt thesc arcas in Ianguago learners. As Mathias and his colleagues describo in tho Journal of Nouroscienco.they had 22 German-spcaking adults loam a total of 90 invented words (such as"lamube"for'camera"and"'atesi"for'thought")over four dnys.Whilo the test subjects first beard tho ncw vocabulary,they wero also sbown a video of a parson making a gosture that matched the meaning of the word.When the word was repeated,the subjects performed the gesturo themselves. Five months later,they were asked to trunslate the vocabulary they hod learned into German in a test.At the same time.they had equipment tiod to their beads that sont weak magnetic pulses to their primary motor cortax（运a动皮层)-the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements.According to the rosults of tho experiment,the researchers concluded that tho motor cortox contributed to tho translation of the vocabulary learnod with gestures. The cffect did not occur when the test subjcots were only presented with matching pictures inslend of gestures whea lcarning vocabulary.In contrast,children-unlike adults-sccm to benefit from pictures as mucb as gesturos in the long runIn an experiment publisbed in 2020.tho Leipzig rescarch group had young adults and cight-ycar-old children liston to new vocabulary for five days,somotimes paired with matcbing pictures or videos of gestures.After two months,tho two mothods_wero atill ticd.But aftor six months,tho adults benofitod more from tho gestures than tho pictures,while tho children were helped cqually by both. 32.Which method might be better in memorizing words occording to the passago? A.Walching vidcos. B.Using magnotic tapo. C.Reading tho words repeatcdly.D.Making hand movoments. 33.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.The design of the research.
