You’ve likely heard of the Group of Seven,artists who travelled the remote landscapes of Ontario to capture their rough beauty by brush.But they weren’t the only artists who travelled rough and painted what they saw!
Fifty years before the Group of Seven,Frances Anne Hopkins was roughing it in a voyageur (船夫) canoe between Lachine (Montreal) and Fort William (Thunder Bay).She was born in England in 1838.She married Edward Hopkins,who worked for the Hudson’s Bay Company,and moved to Lachine,Canada.
In 1860,her husband was promoted to Chief Factor of Montreal,which led to the couple occasionally joining voyageurs on their journeys up the river,sometimes travelling all the way to Fort William by canoe.These trips would take weeks of rough living with the men who paddled the canoe.The couple travelled along the shores of the Mattawa River,where Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park is located today.
While the voyageurs paddled the canoe or set up camp,Hopkins would sketch (素描) what she saw.She documented the lives of voyageurs in her sketches in the same way we might take a photograph.Most of her paintings describing voyageurs were completed after she returned to London in 1870.Many of her works,such as Canoes in a Fog and Running a Rapid on the Mattawa River were displayed at the Royal Academy exhibition in England during her career.
By the time Frances Anne Hopkins began documenting the voyageurs’ lives,the need for them was declining.Faster travel methods such as trains and steamboats were becoming popular,and the demand for canoes was decreasing.However,one could argue that she arrived in the canoe just in time to capture the final years of the voyageurs before they could truly fade away.
1.Why did the author mention Group of Seven?
A.To show their achievements in art.
B.To attract the attention of art lovers.
C.To introduce the heroine of this article.
D.To prove their influence on other artists.
2.What made Frances Anne Hopkins join voyageurs on their journeys?
A.Her husband’s promotion.
B.Her love for travelling.

D.Frances Anne Hopkins’ marriage.
4.What was Frances Anne Hopkins’ main contribution?

Artificial intelligence can help accurately map and track penguin colonies (聚居地) in Antarctica by analysing tourist photos.“Right now,everyone has a camera in their pocket,and so the amount of data being collected around the world is incredible,” says Heather Lynch at Stony Brook University in New York.
Haoyu Wu at Stony Brook University and his colleagues,including Lynch,used an AI tool to highlight Adélie penguins in photographs taken by tourists or scientists on the ground.With guidance from a human expert,the AI tool was able to automatically identify and outline entire colonies in photos.This semi-automated method is much faster than doing everything manually (手动地) because the AI tool takes just 5 to 10 seconds per image,compared with a person taking 1 to 2 minutes.The team also created a 3D digital model of the Antarctic landscape using satellite imagery and data.By identifying landscape details in the tourist pictures,the researchers could place the photographer,then the penguin colony,accurately within the 3D model.
This transformation of ground photos into a bird’s-eye view allows researchers to track how penguin colonies change in location and population size over time,which could prove especially helpful in remote regions of the world.Such tracking is important because Adélie penguins are considered a sentinel species,meaning shifts in their population are an indicator of climate change.The AI-assisted technique can also employ historical imagery to track phenomena such as glacier changes that “occur very slowly and may only be evident by looking across decades of time”,says Lynch.
But researchers remain divided over the impacts of Antarctic tourism—the two large Adélie penguin groups evaluated by the researchers are often visited by tour ships.“Some are worried that,by encouraging tourists to do citizen science,we are justifying their trips,which will be used by the cruise (游轮) companies to sell more tickets,” says Fretwell.
5.Where did the research data come from?
A.Expert data base.
B.Maps marked by AI.
C.3D digital model.
D.Images shot by tourists.
6.What role did AI play in highlighting Adélie penguins?
A.It served as an assistant.
B.It acted as a predictor.
C.It replaced the human experts.
D.It conducted the entire research.
7.Why did the researchers track the changes of Adélie penguin colonies?
A.To gather data on tourism.
B.To monitor penguin behaviors.
C.To examine the effects of AI.
D.To further study the climate change.
8.Which of the following best describes researchers’ attitudes towards Antarctic tourism?
A.Unclear. B.Controversial.
C.Indifferent. D.Supportive.

If you consider yourself to be shy by nature,you may worry that you’re not a good conversationalist. 1 There are plenty of easy,subtle ways to improve your social skills in your daily life.Here are a few tips and tricks to help you get started.
Start a conversation. 2 Many people feel more relaxed if they have time to prepare a conversation starter.You can write down a list of potential conversation starters.You could,for example,talk about an assignment,if you’re making a conversation in class.
3 People want to feel that the other person is interested in them.You can share simple insights and asking questions to continue the conversation.Before you bring up your own insights,make a rule that you ask at least one question about what the other person is saying.
Remember to engage in only one thing at a time.When a person is talking,pay attention to what he or she is talking about.Keep your mind focused on the present moment instead of planning what you’ll say next.It’s inevitable that you will think of something that relates.That’s okay. 4 But don’t spend time thinking about how to word your responses.
Most conversations will run their own courses.It’s okay if you can’t think of anything else to say.Simply mention something else you have to do,and that you’ll have to step away.Thank the person for their time,and let them know that you’d like to talk again some other time. 5
A.Don’t worry.
B.Choose a shared topic.
C.Keep a conversation going.
D.It is good to have responses ready.

[参考范文]
Recently,our class has had a debate on whether we should go deep-sea fishing.
40% of students hold the view that deep-sea fishing is beneficial,because fish is a good source of food,which can provide us with protein and other nutrients.Besides,fishermen can earn more by fishing.However,others believe that it is necessary to stop deep-sea fishing.As is reported,deep-sea fishing has severely polluted the ocean.What’s more,overfishing has led to the decrease in the number of species and destroyed the deep-sea ecosystem.
In my opinion,there should be seasonal limitation on deep-sea fishing so that we can possess sustainable fish resources.
