For 100days, the University of South Florida teacher lived in a small room underwater. He set a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. On March 1, Dr. Dituri, who’ s 55, began the project. His goal was to stay for 100 days at a special underwater hotel called Jules's Undersea Lodge. The hotel is 22 feet under the ocean surface in a protected area in Key Largo. The farther you go below the ocean's surface, the greater the pressure will be. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. In his undersea room, Dr. Dituri was living with pressure that was about 66% greater than the pressure on the surface.While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes, and he had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries. Dr. Dituri worked with other experts to figure out ways to protect and take care of the ocean. A number of tourists dove down to spend a little time with Dr. Dituri. He was also regularly checked out by a medical team. Last Friday, June 9, Dr. Dituri returned to the surface, where he was finally able to see the sun again.Many friends, family, and supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Dr. Dituri was smiling when he came back up. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was in good health. Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he was able to sleep much better. His health greatly improved in a couple of other ways. 4. Why did Dr. Dituri live underwater for 100 days? A. To get rid of air pollution. B. To explore the ocean life. C. To carry out an experiment. D. To advocate a special hotel. 5. What can we learn about Dr. Dituri underwater? A. He led a busy life. B. He lived with his students. C.

He improved his fitness. 7. What is the text? A. A diary entry. B. A news report. C. A course plan. D. A research paper. C When rains fell in the Atacama Desert for the first time in centuries, scientists had expected to see life blossom(繁盛). Instead, almost everything died. The shocking discovery was published in the journal Scientific Reports. Found in northern Chile, the dry core of the Atacama Desert hadn't experienced rain for the past 500 years. But three years ago, rain started to fall once again in the region. A changing climate in the Pacific Ocean resulted in the desert's dry core experiencing rain on March25 and August 9, 2015, and it rained again on June 7, 2017. There was no evidence of rain in this region for the past 500 years, although climate models suggested it should occur every century. The international team of scientists who studied the region were hoping for deserts springing to life. “Instead, we learned the contrary, as we found that rain in the dry core of the Atacama Desert caused a massive extinction of most native microbe(微生物) species there,” said study co-authorAlberto Fairén. Before the rain fell, this region of the Atacama had been home to 16 different ancient microbe species. But after the rain fell, just two to four species were still found to be surviving in the resultant pool of water. The cause of the extinction event, believed to have been about 85 percent of life in the soil, was caused by the sudden influx of water. In particular, these microbes were adapted to survive in extreme dryness. They were unable to adapt quickly enough to the unexpected rainfall. But it's not all bad news. The team also found nitrates(硝酸盐) in the Atacama Desert that were indicative of a lengthy dry period, while also acting as food for the microbes. And we' ve recently found nitrates on Mars, which could be indicating a similar process there. 8. How did the scientists find their discovery according to Alberto Fairén? A. Satisfying. B. Astonishing. C. Amusing. D. Comforting. 9. What does the underlined word“influx” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Shortage. B. Need. C. Arrival. D. Test. 10. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The resultant pool of water was a wildlife habitat. B. The team plans to turn the desert into a green land. C. Scientists have observed lots of microbes on Mars. D. The finding brought some hope to relevant studies. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Unexpected Rainfalls Hit a Desert Badly B. A Science Magazine Increased in Popularity C. Scientists Unlocked the Secret behind Drought D. A Breakthrough Occurred in Space Exploration D The introduction of artificial intelligence(AI) is a significant part of the digital transformation bringing challenges and changes to the job descriptions among management. A study shows that integratingAI systems into service teams increases demands on middle management in the financial services field. Interviewed in the study were 25 experienced managers employed by a leading Scandinavian financial services company. AI systems have been intensely integrated into the tasks and processes of the company in recent years. The results showed that the integration of AI systems into service teams is a complex phenomenon,putting new demands on the work of middle management and requiring a balanced act in the face of new challenges. “The productivity of work grows when routine tasks are passed on to AI. On the other hand, the fast pace of change makes work more demanding, and the integration of AI makes it necessary to learn new things constantly. Surprisingly, new kinds of routine work also increase, because the operations of AIneed to be monitored and checked,” says Assistant Professor Jonna Koponen. According to the results of the research, the social features of middle management also changed,because the AI systems used at work were seen either as technical tools or colleagues, depending on the type of AI that was used. Especially when more developed types of AI, such as chatting robots, were included in the AI systems, they were seen as colleagues. Integrating AI also poses ethical(道德上的) challenges, and managers devoted more of their time to ethical considerations. For example, they were concerned about the fairness of decisions made by AI.Aspects observed in the study showed that managing service teams with integrated AI requires new skills and knowledge of middle management, such as technological understanding and skills, interactive skills and emotional intelligence, problem-solving skills, and the ability to manage and adapt to continuous change. “AI systems cannot yet take over all human management in areas such as the motivation and inspiration of team members. This is why skills in interaction and empathy(同理心) should be emphasized when selecting new employees for managerial positions which emphasize the management of teams integrated withAI,” Koponen says. 12. What does the study find? A. AI becomes less popular in the service field. B. AI makes decisions more fairly than humans. C. AI proves human management is unnecessary. D. AI makes middle management more demanding. 13. What's Jonna Koponen's attitude to integrating AI systems into service teams? A. Unmentioned. B. Opposed. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 14. Which of the following shows Jonna Koponen's opinion? A. AI can't replace human mangers completely. B. Few managers in the service field are needed. C. Employees for managerial positions dislike AI. D. AI devotes more time to ethical considerations. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. The integration of AI into service teams is hard. B. AI takes over human management in many fields. C. AI and human managers are a perfect combination. D. The application of AI influences middle management. 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。 Productivity is the cornerstone of both personal and professional success.

Another study found that people who read 40 short and awe-causing story about seeing Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower reported 41 (great) life satisfaction in that moment than people who read stories about seeing a plain scene from up high. Awe can also change the way we think of ourselves. 42 particular, studies have shown that awe can make us feel small or insignificant. Besides, one recent study found that awe may also make people more modest. In addition, experiencing awe may develop 43 (kind) and generosity in people. One study found that people who stood among awe-inspiring eucalyptus(桉树) trees picked up more pens for an experimenter who 44 (deliberate) dropped them than people who looked up at a not-so-inspiring large building.

Her favorite thing to draw was butterflies and her bedroom was decorated with butterfly patterns. But Mei lived in a big city and had seen only a few butterflies fluttering around the park. Today she’ d get to see a lot of them in one special place. A loud honk(喇叭声) sounded in the street and Mei's mother walked downstairs. Mei ran. Aunt Fay's yellow car ran along the highway. Mei, who watched the signs for their exit, wished they could go faster. “You' re excited, aren't you?” Aunt Fay asked. “I sure am!” Mei had told all her friends at school about the special trip. “You know how much Ilove butterflies.” Mei always checked out books about butterflies whenever she went to the library. Her best friend,Lisa, called Mei the butterfly expert. An expert, she knew, was someone who knew a lot about something. “I may not be an expert,” Mei told Aunt Fay, “but I know more facts about butterflies than anyone in my third grade class.” They arrived at the butterfly garden and walked up to the wooden gate. “Are the butterflies hiding?” Aunt Fay asked. Mei skipped to look inside the high windows at the flowers, bushes, and small trees. Then she wondered. It was spring, the time of year when butterflies hatched(孵化). But was it too soon and too cold where they lived? “Welcome.” A man with round eyeglasses greeted them at the gate. “I'm afraid you' ve come at a slow time of year.” Aunt Fay bought their tickets and they went into the indoor garden. They stepped along the stones of the path and Mei spotted colorful birds flitting in and out of trees. That was all. Aunt Fay looked around and asked, “Where are all the butterflies?” “They haven't hatched yet.” Mei's feet dragged with her words. “I forgot that it's still too early for the butterflies in our climate.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Had they come all this way for nothing? Would Mei's friends laugh when she told them? MaybeLisa was wrong.

Obviously, that action can cause a lot of harm. Not only does it threaten marine life, but also it damages the health of people in the surrounding areas. Gradually, the ecosystem will be negatively affected. While I understand the challenge of purifying polluted water, it is crucial to explore alternative solutions that prioritize environmental protection and safety. Concerning the factory's selfish and irresponsible action, I must express my strong protest and I hope changes will be made soon. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 One possible version: Had they come all this way for nothing? Would Mei’ s friends laugh when she told them? Maybe Lisa was wrong.The moment Mei dropped her head she spotted something on a branch. “Look!” She ran over to the branch. “What is it?”Aunt Fay asked. “It's a newborn butterfly!” Mei's eyes widened. The man with the round eyeglasses came over to stoop beside the branch. Mei guessed that the man was a butterfly expert. “A monarch is the king of butterflies,” she told AuntFay. “Now we’ ll get to see its wings grow to full size,” the man added. Aunt Fay bought Mei a book about butterflies from the gift shop. She had to return her library books, but this was a book Mei could keep to herself. They walked across the parking lot and a big smile grew on Mei’ s face. Now, she would have something wonderful to tell her friends. “Thank you for the gift, Aunt Fay,” Mei said. She hugged her butterfly book and smiled all the way home. She had gotten another, even more special gift. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
