We often think of forest fires as terrible disasters,burning down trees and houses.But
here is 17 surprising scientific discovery:for some forests,fire isn't always an
enemy-it's a necessary part of life.Lightning 18 a lot of small fires in these forests
almost every year.The burns can naturally clean the forest floor.
Today,experts use this idea for"controlled burning".Under safe weather conditions,they
carefully set small fires 19 away dead leaves,fallen branches,and dry bushes-materials
that could make a future wildfire far more dangerous.The fires also make space for sunlight and
allow new plants to grow.
This method doesn't prevent all forest fires,20 it is a smart way to stop the really
big ones.Sometimes,the best way to stay safe is to work with nature rather than fight against it.

B.Choose the best answer(根据以下内容,选择最恰当的答案)(年题2分,共l0分)
Not long ago,the hottest trainers were like gold.People waited in long lines for hours,and
rare pairs sold for crazy prices online.But look around now-the lines are gone,and those same
"limited"trainers are often on sale.What happened to the trainer culture?
First,fashion moved on.Those heavy,colourful styles that were fashionable a few years ago
have lost their shine.Today's popular designs are simpler and made for actual sports,not just for
show.
Besides,companies flooded the market.In the past,brands would sell only a small number of
limited-edition trainers to make them seem special.But recently,seeing the chance to make more
money,they have pumped out their products,even bringing back old "rare"ones.When everyone
can get a pair,the excitement disappears.
In addition,people's tastes changed.Trainer collectors are now turning to boots,loafers(
and sandals.Footwear companies are quickly following the trend,making their own shoes of
these popular styles.
The result?The"trainer culture"is not as hot as before.The second-hand market for trading
trainers is cooling fast.Some popular resale websites even had to shut down.As one expert said,
"It now takes a truly special story-like one worn by a famous athlete-to ask for a high price".
In short,the trainer craze is not dead,but its culture has broken.The market is getting back to
normal,and buyers are becoming more careful about what they really want to wear.
42.According to the text,how did people like trainers in the past?
A.People thought trainers were only for sports.
B.People were not interested in rare styles.
C.People were crazy about "limited"trainers.
D.People preferred to buy trainers online.
43.Which of the following is NOT a reason why the trainer culture is cooling down?
A.Old styles are out of fashion.
B.There is no special story behind the trainers.
C.Everyone can get a“limited'”pair easily.
D.People began to like other types of shoes.
44.The "pumped out"in paragraph 3 means
A.carefully designed
B.stopped making
C.improved the quality of
D.produced a lot of

Does it matter if music is made by AI?
Last year,a band named Velvet Sundown broke through with hit songs and millions of online
listeners.Photos showed the four members performing,driving,and eating together.47,
fans noticed there was very little about them online and thought that was strange.Soon,the
48 came out:not only Velvet Sundown's music but the band members were created by Al.
Some fans were angry to find themselves cheated,while others didn't 49,as they still
enjoyed the music.This raises a big question:Does it matter if music is made by AI?
YES -Listeners should know up front!
Music is more than just sounds;it requires personal thoughts and feelings.This is why
computer-made music feels less 50.Also,AI models are trained to copy music created by
artists.In the long run,it might 51 the value of real art.What's more,AI is developing so
rapidly that it will soon be even 52 to tell what's human-made and what's not.Therefore,
listeners should know clearly if the music is AI-made so that they can choose whether or not to
listen to it.
NO -Only the experience counts.
As long as people like the music,it doesn't matter how it was 53.What's important
is the listening experience.If people can't even tell the music is made by Al,then it's just as good.
In fact,AI 54 more people to create their own music,especially those who can't afford
expensive instruments.Using technology in art is simply progress.
So,what do you think?Should AI music be labelled,or is the listening experience all that
matters?

Have you ever been annoyed by a loud noise while studying
for a big exam?That's what happened to the students at Shenzhen
Bao'an Middle School.Some birds were singing loudly outside
their windows,over and over again.As the Gaokao was coming
soon,a student Xiao Le wrote a letter to the headmaster,asking if
the school could take the bird's nest away to make it quiet.
The headmaster,Mr.Yuan Weixing,understood Xiao Le's
worry.But instead of saying yes,he refused the request in an open letter.
In his letter,the headmaster said that nature has its own rhythm.The birds,called koels,were
singing because it was their breeding(season.He told Xiao Le in the letter,"The world is not
for just one person.Learning to get along with others in the world is a necessary part of growing
up."He suggested that Xiao Le could think of the bird songs as nature's own"white noise"or a
special"concert".This could help him feel relaxed during study breaks.
Saying no to the request didn't mean doing nothing.The headmaster also took action to help.
The school gave out earplugs to students who needed them.They also built new,man-made bird
nests in a garden far from the classroom buildings to gently lead the birds away.
This story on the Internet became a hot topic among many people.They praised the
headmaster for turning a noise problem into

lot.He realized the true meaning of coexistence(-respecting nature and living in harmony
