.How fast can someone climb 15 meters-the helght of.a five-story.building?The ariswer from
Chinese speed climber Cao Long is 4.98 seconds.
The 23-year-old is the third person to have completed the speed climbing route-a 15-meter-tall wall
第3页共12页
with foot and hand holds-within seconds.The other two are Indonesian thletes Kiromal Katibin and
Veddrig Leonardo.People have given Cao many nioknames,suoh as "fastest man in China"and "Chinese
Spider-Man"
According to Cao,the result of speed climbing can differ every time due to its highly demanding and
stressful nature.In this race,two climbers compete at the same time,and since it's a sport that finishes
within seconds,achieving success requires perfection.Athletes must have the right balance of focus,
confidence and courage to take risks.
"Keeping a level head is the key,"Cao said."Everyone wants to win.But the more you want it,the
more likely you'll mess up.Being too calm and trying to avoid any mistakes won't do you any good either
because that mindset takes away your advantages and your willingness to fight."Gao went on to note,
"You just have to find the right balance."But this pressure,in fact,is part of the reason why Cao loves the
sport.
Cao took his first step into the world of climbing at the age of 8.Like many kids starting out,he
mainly focused on bouldering(抱石岩)and lead climbing(先锋攀岩).doing well in both.Unfortunately,
at the age of 18,Cao had a surgery after injuring his left arm in a competition.It was after that surgery that
Cao decided to give speed climbing a try because it requires different techniques from bouldering and lead
climbing and puts less pressure on his previously injured body parts.
It turned out that Cao was great at speed climbing as well,even'though he thinks he is hardly the
strongest athlete.In his eyes,setting a national record of 4.98 seconds has already become a thing of the
past."I will continue to work hard and climb my way to the top."said Cao.
24.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Cao focused ou bouldering and lead climbing at the age of
B Cao is nicknamed"fastest man in China"for creating a world record.
C.Cao thinks speed climbing can be influenced by the tough patyral environment.
D.Cao is China's first to finish 15-meter-tall speed climbing within 5 geconds..
25.What does "keep a level head"mean in paragraph 4?
A.Expect to win.
B.Keep body balance.
C.Keep the head up.
D.Stay calm.

a director at the museum,said the design started with“visioning sessions(设想会议)".where kids could:
express their ideas.The kids were given a lot of strange materials for their designs."The kids made it clear
that the environment should be fun.The result is a school with all the excitement of a children's museum.
There are traditional classrooms,but there are also places for exploration and cooperation.Every space in
this building is for learning,"Corb says.

Around one million'ci近eiform tablets(楔形文字泥板)have been found worldwide,on which
cuneiform-the oldest known form of writing--was carved.Deciphering (those cuneiform tablets
helps know about the incredible stories of men,women and children in the early-period-efhistory.
However,they are heavily weathered and thus difficult to decipher.
A new artificial intelligence(AD software is now able to explain difficuli-to-read texts.It was
developed by a team from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU)and Mainz University of.
Applied Sciences.
Hubert Mara,a professor at MLU,.and his research team came up with the ruea of developing an AI
system that applied 3D models.Instead of photos,the researchets first used 3D models of nearly 2,000
cuneiform tablets,including around 50 from a collection at MLU,achieving significantly more dependable
results than previous methods,
第6页共12页
The new system deciphers characters better than previous methods.In principle,the AI system works
along the same lines as OCR software.which turns the images of writing and text into.machine-readable
text."OCR usually works with photographs.This is no problem for ink on paper.In the case of cuneiform
tablets,however.things are more difficult because the lighting conditions greatly influence how well
certain characters can be recognized,"explains Mara.
The team trained the new AI software and did succeed in recognizing the symbols on the tablets."We
were surprised to find that our system works so well with these tablets,which are heavily weathered,"says
Mara.
The work by the researchers makes a major step forward in the study of ancient writing systems and
opens up many new lines of scientific exploration.Up until now,it can only translate symbols from two
languages.However,a total of twelve cuneiform languages are known to exist.In the future,the software
could also help to decipher weathered inscriptions ()for example in cemeteries,which are
three-dimensional like cuneiform.
32.What do we-know about cuneiform tablets?
A They are greatly damaged over time.
B.They record many prehistoric steries.
C.They show big progress in writing.
D.They are.quite.small in number.
33.What is special about the new AI system?
A.It uses OCR software.
B.It is based on 3D models.
C.It can translate 12 languages.
D.It can turn texts into symbols.
34.What impressed Mara during the research?
A.The difficulty in saving cuneiform tablets
B.The discovery of a new writing.system.
C.The achievements in computer science.
D.The effectiveness of.the new.AI.system.
35.What would be the best title for the text?

B.OCR software deciphered cuneiform
C.AI software helps read ancient symbols

We all know that fish tanks bring comfort and peace for adtts-or at least,we are in aibetter mood
after staring at our fish for a while.But what about kids?3
Taking care of something that depends on them teaches kids.responsibility.It helps them realize that
what they do is important and that sometines things need to get done (like feeding the fish)even when
they don't feel like doing it.You can have your child help with cleaning the fish tank.Ayoung
child could simply watch and hand you the things you need.Kids in grade school could help clean the
outside of the fish tank.Teens could help more with the actual cleaning process.

Keeping a fish tank also has a direct effect on kids'mental health.38 One study has shown
that people feel more relaxed and calmer after watching live fish in a tank for five minutes.Interestingly,
studies have also shown that watching fish in a tank helps calm kids.So why not bring that experience to t
your home?

other decorations.If you can,get kids involved in this process-by bringing them along to the fish store
with you when you select fish or decorations.You can discuss with your kids about your choices.
If might not seem like you're teaching anythingbut through these conversations,kids are
learning to think creatively.They learn how to select fish for a community-tank iustead of just picking out
a fish because "It's pretty!"
A.Let your kid helpers give their input,too!
B.To add to the benefits,it inspires creativity.
C Keeping a fish tank brings lots of fun to kids.
