On his first Everest attempt in 1975, Xia got frostbite and had to have his feet-and later his legs- amputated(截肢). Undeterred, Xia went back again in 2014, 2o15 and 2016. On that last attempt,a snowstorm forced him to turn back less than 1oo meters from the summit(顶峰). On 14 May, 2o18, the 69-year-old finally realized his dream, making him the first double amputee to summit Everest from the Nepal side. "This time Mountain Everest accepted me, finally," he said. "It's been a dream of mine for almost 40 years.' Climbing Everest with prosthetics(假肢) adds another level of difficulty for Xia, because it is difficult to feel the ground. "Whatever you are standing on, what kind of roads you walk on, prosthetics do not give you any sensations. You have to learn to feel it day-to-day to find the feeling." Xia had to use his body strength to maintain his balance as the prosthetics cannot be adapted to the angles of going uphill or downhill. "I have to have one-third more physical strength than normal people," he said. But Xia almost never made it to Everest. In 2017, the Nepali government prevented double amputees blind, and solo climbers from attempting Everest in order to reduce accidents and climbing-related deaths. But the Supreme Court overturned the decision, allowing people like Xia to get climbing permits. "I have learnt from my journey to the top that you should advance bravely no matter what severe conditions you face, and never give up on your ambition," said Xia. "This is the reward of me never giving up." 4. What does the underlined word "Undeterred" in the first paragraph mean? A. Restless. B. Fearless. C. Curious. D. Anxious. 5. What was a problem facing Xia during the latest climbing? A. He was caught in heavy rain B. He tended to be lost on the way. C. He had little time for training D. He struggled with two prosthetics 6. Why did the Nepali government stop double amputees attempting Everest? A. For safety concerns. B. For extreme weather. C. For canceling a rule. D. For reducing the cost 7. What can we learn about Xia? A. He is an admirable doctor. B. He regrets climbing Everest. C. He is a strong-willed man D. He enjoys living a lonely life C The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power(DWP) has announced plans to take a limited amount of water from rivers that feed Mono Lake this year, a step that environmentalists say will help build on a recent rise in the lake's level over the last year. DWP said it plans to import 4, 5oo acre-feet of water from the Mono Basin's current year runoff(径流) the same amount that was diverted(外调) the previous year, and enough to supply about 18, 000 households for a year. DWP officials detailed their expected water diversions from the region of the Eastern Sierra in an annual plan, which began in April. Environmentalists praised the decision by city officials as an important step. "It's a historic decision in the history of Mono Lake," said Mark Gold, director of the Natural Resources Defense Council Environmentalists said it's the first time in 30 years that city officials have announced plans to take less water than the maximum amount allowed under a 1994 ruling by the State Water Resources Contro Board. However, DwP said in the plan that it will review water conditions in November, and at that point could still decide to import additional water if necessary, up to the limit of 16,ooo acre-feet. The city has been diverting water from the Mono Basin since 194l, transporting it south through the Los Angeles Aqueduct. For decades, diverting water from the area's rivers led to a sharp drop in the lake. Mono Lake houses endangered birds such as Wilson's phalaropes, which feed on the insects near the lake. "The decision by city officials opens the door to have that conversation about how we go forward in the years ahead and make sure we achieve the protection at Mono Lake,"Gold said 8. Why did DwP announce the plans about Mono Lake? A. To supply water to more families. B. To stop the rainwater flowing to it. C. To reduce the loss caused by floods. D. To make its water return to normal. 9. What will DwP probably do this November? A. Limit the water in the lake. B. Revise its plan as needed. C. Increase the price of water. D. Put an end to a 1994 policy. 10. What did Gold think of the water decision? A. It will be applied to other fields. B. It will threaten other native wildlife C. It is good for the local ecosystem. D. It is protested by the city officials. 11. In which part of a newspaper may this text appear? C. Education. B. Technology. A. Environment. D. History. D Ria Kalluri and her coworkers gave a simple demand to Dall-E. This bot uses AI to make images. "We asked for an image of a disabled person leading a meeting," says Kalluri. It shouldn't be hard for Dall-E. But the bot couldn't do it. Dall-E produced "a person who is visibly disabled watching a meeting while someone else leads," Kalluri recalls, who studies AI at Stanford University in California. Kalluri's group also found examples of many other types of bias(偏差) in images made by bots. Sadly, all of these biases are assumptions that many people also make. But AI paints a world that is more biased than reality. In addition to Dall-E, Kalluri's group also tested Stable Diffusion, another image-making bot. “When asked for photos of an attractive person, its results were all light-skinned," says Kalluri. "And many had eyes that were bright blue-bluer than real people's." "This is a big deal," Kalluri says. Biased images can cause real harm. Seeing them tends to strengthen people's stereotypes(刻板印象). A flood of AI-made biased imagery could be extremely difficult to overcome(克服). Developers train bots such as Dall-E or Stable Diffusion to create images. They do this by showing them many example images. “But a lot of these images are outdated," explains Kalluri. AI image generators average their training data together to create a big map. In this map, similar words and images are grouped closer together. Bots can't know anything about the world beyond their training data, notes Kalluri. They cannot create or imagine new things. That means AI-made images can only reflect how people and things appeared in the images on which they trained Kalluri doesn't think this type of approach will work in the long term. In her eyes, local communities would gather data for AI and train it for their own purposes. She wishes for"technologies that support our communities."This, she says, is how to avoid bias and harm 12. What is Dall-E able to do? A. Watch a baby. B. Chair a meeting. C. Create images. D. Give directions. 13. Why did Kalluri's group test Stable Diffusion A. To better a practical app. B. To change its function. C. To print an attractive photo. D. To confirm their worry 14. What can be known about AI-made images? A. They are built on the past. B. They feature creativity. C. They reflect our current world D. They are quite meaningful 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The future of A-powered tools. B. Problems of AI image producers C. The solution to AI's development. D. People's misunderstanding of AI 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 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。 If everyone adopted(采纳) a green lifestyle, we wouldn't be having issues like global warming.
