[2025浙江杭州期中]Kate Sessions was interested in trees when she was a
child. While other girls didn’t want to get their hands dirty, little Kate enjoyed
picking up branches (树枝) and fruits in the forest. Kate also danced and sang
songs happily there. She felt the trees were her friends. She loved the way they
grew toward the sky and how their branches stretched (延伸) to get the light.
Kate thought the trees were like big umbrellas that protected her and the animals

and plants that lived in the forest. Kate smiled as she walked among the trees,
enjoying the sounds of birds.Not everyone felt at home in the forest, but Kate
did.
Kate learnt well in school. She learnt how to read and write. She
remembered the stories she read. But best of all, she liked studying wind, rain,
and plants, especially trees. At that time, very few girls chose to study science,
but Kate chose to learn ecology (生态学) because of her love for it. She still
tried to make her dream come true as a person who knew much about trees.

After leaving school, Kate came to San Diego, a city with few green plants
and bad air. Kate made a decision to better the air of the city, so she brought
different kinds of trees to San Diego and called on her friends to plant trees
with her. With hard work, they made Balboa Park in San Diego a beautiful and
fantastic garden. Kate is also known as the “Mother of Balboa Park”.

[2025浙江台州期末]Have you ever wished you could talk to animals and
get answers? Well, now it’s possible! With the help of artificial intelligence
(AI), a special museum in Cambridge, Britain—the Museum of Zoology—is
making it happen.
This museum has 13 animal exhibits (展品) that visitors can interact with.
How? Just use your mobile phone to scan (扫描) the special codes next to
the exhibits. Then, a chat box will open on your phone, and you can start

There are different kinds of animals you can talk to. There are common
ones like the cockroach, the narwhal, the platypus, and the red panda. But there
are also extinct (灭绝的) animals like the dodo and the giant sloth. Through
these conversations, you can learn more about them. You can find out where they
came from and how they were prepared before being shown in the museum.
These chats are not just for fun. They can also help the museum staff. The
things that visitors talk about and ask will reveal what people really want to
know when they look at the exhibits. Then the staff can use this information to
make the museum better. Jack Ashby, who is an assistant director at the museum,

has an interesting thought. He wonders how these conversations will influence
people. For example, will the cockroach be better liked as a result of having its
voice heard?
This amazing “Nature Perspective AI” activity will last until 15th November
at the Museum of Zoology in Cambridge. So, if you’re in the area, don’t miss
this chance to have a unique conversation with the animals!
