B Who needs culinary (school when you have the Internet and an unstoppable passion for cooking?Braxton Harst,a 12-year-old from Magee,Mississippi,is living proof that a determined kid can become a master cake baker all by himself. A couple of years ago,Braxton came across cake decorating videos online and was fascinated.He had never baked before,but he was hungry to learn.So,he searched online after homework,and spent hours watching videos.He learned how to make cakes flat and smooth,and how to decorate them. The first cake he attempted was flatter than a pancake.But Braxton wasn't discouraged.He changed the recipe,tried again,and soon was making tasty and pretty cakes.Fast forward to now:this seventh-grader is turning out excellent cakes that wouldn't look out of place in a bakery window. One of his most impressive creations was featured at the school bake sale and sold out in minutes. Braxton says his favorite part is the creativity:"Baking is like science and art mixed together.I can experiment and express myself.And it's delicious!"His mom admits the kitchen often looks like a"flour storm"hit it,but she couldn't be prouder. Braxton has even started a small side hustle ()selling custom cakes to family friends,with all eamings saved for his dream of attending a real culinary institute one day.But for now,he's content to inspire others-he's gained a local following on social media where he shares baking tips with fellow teens. Braxton's journey shows that with curiosity,patience,and an Internet connection,a kid can transform an ordinary kitchen into a springboard for exceptional abilities.His advice to other young people:"Find something you love,leam everything about it,and don't be afraid to mess up."This is sweet wisdom coming from a rising star baker. 4.What initially inspired Braxton Harst to start baking cakes? A.Online cake decorating videos. B.His interest in science and art. C.His mother's encouragement. D.The school bake sale. 5.What do we know about Braxton's first attempt at making a cake? A.The cake tasted delicious. B.The cake was not so successful. C.The cake was decorated simply. D.The cake sold out in no time. 6.What does Braxton think is the most enjoyable part of baking? A.Making money from selling cakes. C.The process of hands-on experimentation. B.Following the recipes strictly. 7.Which of the following is the best title for the text? D.The innovation involved in it. A.Start a Business as a Chef:Baking Cakes C.From Zero to Hero:A Boy's Baking Journey B.The Importance of Culinary School D.The Science and Art of Baking Cakes c People often grumble that plastics are too durable.Water bottles.shopping bags.and other trash litter the planet because plastics are everywhere and don't break down easily.But some plastic materials change over time.They crack and melt into sludge ()all of which creates huge headaches for institutions,such as museums,trying to preserve culturally important objects. Until recently,museums only have to worry about traditional materials."We know how to approach the restoration of paintings,books,and materials like wood,metals,and glass,"says Anna Lagana,a research specialist at the Getty Conservation Institute."But for plastics,our knowledge is still limited.Tonkin,now a doctoral researcher in fashion conservation at Nottingham Trent University,agrees."We're now trying to figure out how to preserve plastics,"she says. Nearly every museum in the world has plastic items,and even well-cared-for objects can fall apart alarmingly quickly.Museums are doing everything they can to save culturally important items from similar fates.But preservation of plastics will likely get harder.Old objects continue to decline.Worse. biodegradable plastics,designed to fall apart easily,are increasingly common. We now live in an age of plastic,and what we decide to collect today,and what we decide to preserve, will have a strong impact on how we'll be seen in the future.Future archaeologists looking at what's left from the 21st century will probably find lots of poisonous waste,along with plenty of plastic trash.But if museum preservation efforts succeed,maybe thosc scholars will also see that plastic items today can be culturally meaningful--and even cherished. 8.What is the main challenge for museums mentioned in the first paragraph? A.Collecting water bottles and shopping bags. B.Handling the extremely durable plastic trash C.Preserving plastic objects that degrade easily. D.Restoring traditional materials like wood and glass. 9.What can we know about the preservation of plastics from the text? A.It faces increasing difficulties in the future. B.It has been completely mastered by researchers. C.It is easier than restoring traditional paintings. D.It mainly focuses on biodegradable plastic items. 10.What does the last paragraph mainly want to convey? A.Future archaeologists will only see plastic trash from the 21st century. B.Museums'efforts on plastics may shape how future generations view us. C.Plastic items today are widely considered meaningful objects. D.Poisonous waste will prevent museums from preserving plastic objects. 11.Where can this passage be found? A.In a history textbook. B.In a fashion magazine C.In a science report. D.In a science fiction book.

New AI technologies are revolutionizing the way we approach language preservation.Most Al iosystems require vast training data for accuracy,and models for high-resource languages like Englishad Spanish are typically trained on millions of parallel sentence pairs.However Indigeous have little public data,posing significant challenges for standard transaion methods.To drshisJared Coleman,acomputer scientist at Loyola Marymount University,developed a tool that insructslae language model in the grammar and vocabulary of a target language,ensuring grammatical accuracy in the output sentences. Since different communities have different cultural traditions,training AI models on material in Indigenous languages,particularly ancestral stories and folk tales,can lead to unintended consequences.As Coleman explained,certain stories are traditionally told only during the wintertime in his community."How do you maintain that tradition if it's available online?"he says.In other words,AI models do not understand cultural nuance ()If they are not trained appropriately,they can mishandle sensitive cultural information. Indigenous researchers are undertaking AI language prescrvation initiatives to promote greater accessibility and diversity at the forefront of technological innovation.As researchers Uma Pradhan and oye Dey have explained,AI language preservation helps address historical injustice forcomties previously discouraged or even prohibited from speaking their native tongues.These initiatives not only support language revitalization()by increasing the number of speakers but also emphasize the cultural significance of these languages within technological spaces long dominated by English,Mandarin Chinese and a handful of other global languages. 12.Why was"Skobot"created? A.To provide real-time language translation. B.To assist in learning endangered languages. C.Tohelp Indigenous people acquire new languages.

In the comer of the garage,Leo worked on his project every day.It was a telescope kit he had found in his grandfather's garage.Though old and a bit wom,it meant a lot to him.He carefully cleaned the mirrors and followed the instructions in the wom guidebook.His grandfather often sat nearby,quietly watching him. "You're doing a great job,"Grandpa said with a smile."A telescope helps,of course.But in the end,it's how you look at the sky that really matters."Leo nodded,though his attention soon retumed to the small,shining pieces in his hands. By Friday,the telescope was finally ready.Leo named it the Sky-Scanner.Though it looked a little unsteady on its wooden stand,it worked well enough.When he tested it on a distant chimney ()the image appeared clear.A wave of excitement ran through him-he was ready. That evening.Leo set up everything in the backyard.The air was cool,and the smell of fresh grass filled the air.With a small red flashlight,he checked his star map and adjusted the telescope toward the horizon(地平线).One by one,,stars began to appear in the darkening sky. Just as he leaned forward to make a final adjustment,his foot caught on a garden water pipe.He was trapped and hit the stand.With a sharp sound,the eyepiece fell off and disappeared into the grass.Leo dropped to his knees and searched desperately,but the yard was too dark."No,"he whispered,his voice shaking."I've ruined everything."The meteor shower was supposed to peak in thirty minutes,and without that tiny piece of glass,the stars would seem like distant,unclear dots. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右： (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then,Grandpa came over,holding a lantern. Moments later,Leo lay on the grass,quieter now,staring at the sky
