Leslie Nielsen’s childhood was difficult, but he had one shining star in his life — his uncle, a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle received inspired Nielsen to pursue a career in acting. Even though he often feared he would be found to lack talent, he kept moving forward. He earned a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and made his first television appearance in 1948. However, becoming a full-time and successful actor remained an uphill battle for another eight years, before he landed a series of film roles that finally brought him public attention.
Even so, what he had achieved was still not what he truly wanted. Nielsen had long believed he was suited for comedy, yet his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It was not until 1980, 32 years into his career, that he landed the role in Airplane! That seemed tailor-made for him. The movie opened a new chapter of his career, in which his outstanding comedic performance alone could guarantee a film’s commercial success, even if critics did not think highly of it.
Was Nielsen content with his career? The answer was yes and no. He was delighted to finally perform the comedy he had always wanted to do. Yet even in his later years, he remained curious about new roles and challenges ahead. He never stopped working and never retired.
Leslie Nielsen’s devotion to acting is truly inspiring. He achieved extraordinary success in his career merely through consistent hard work and strong determination. His story proves that a single persistent dream can lead to an extraordinary life.
4. Why did Nielsen want to be an actor?
A. He enjoyed watching movies. B. He was eager to earn money.
C. He wanted to be like his uncle. D. He felt he was good at acting.
5. What do we know about Nielsen in the second half of his career?
A. He directed some high-quality movies. B. He avoided taking on new challenges.
C. He focused on playing dramatic roles. D. He became a successful comedy actor.
6. Which of the following best describes Nielsen?
A. Creative but impatient. B. Determined and adventurous.
C. Talented but lazy. D. Cautious and self-centered.
7. What does Nielsen’s career story tell us?
A. Art is long, life is short. B. He who laughs last laughs longest.
C. It’s never too late to learn. D. Where there’s a will there’s a way.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. D

Everyone knows this: Slowly turn up the heat on a frog in a pot of water, and the frog won’t hop out. Unaware of the slight increase in heat, it will stay put until — well, until it dies. When it comes to the effect of rising global temperatures on amphibians (两栖动物), the frog-boiling fable is more than just a metaphor (隐喻). In fact, it is playing out in the real world.
Climate change is becoming one of the biggest threats to frogs and other amphibians, according to a major study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Between 2004 and 2022, rising temperatures became the primary reason why more than 100 amphibian species were slipping toward extinction.
The spread of disease among frogs and the destruction of their habitats have long been recognized as reasons why many amphibians are decreasing. However, this new study goes further. It establishes climate change as a major risk for amphibians around the world, too. The soft-skinned animals lack the fur and feathers to help adjust their temperature in this hotter and more drought-stricken world.
Less attention is paid to frogs and other amphibians compared to more well-known groups like birds. Yet losing amphibians would be disastrous because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems, wolfing insects down and, in turn, being eaten by larger predators (捕食者). “Without those amphibians to fill that role, we will see the breakdown of this food web,” said Neam, who works for an Austin-based environmental group.
Luckily, habitat protection and other conservation measures have been taken to help recover more than five dozen amphibians from Costa Rica to Malaysia. “It’s not all bad news,” said Jennifer Luedtke, an amphibian group leader of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “But we really must build on this improvement and significantly increase investment in amphibian conservation.”
8. How is the topic introduced?
A. By listing facts. B. By explaining ideas.
C. By sharing a story. D. By raising a question.
9. What is the main reason for the decrease of amphibians?
A. The spread of disease. B. The loss of habitats.
C. The rise of temperature. D. The lack of feathers.
10. What does the underlined phrase “wolfing insects down” most probably mean?
A. Eating numerous insects. B. Observing small insects.
C. Removing tiny insects. D. Protecting weak insects.
11. How does Luedtke feel about the future of amphibians?
A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Uncertain. D. Curious.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文以温水煮青蛙寓言引入,讲述研究显示升温是两栖动物濒临灭绝的主因;两栖动物维系食物链,目前保护取得一定成效,但仍需加大保护投入。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Everyone knows this: Slowly turn up the heat on a frog in a pot of water, and the frog won’t hop out. Unaware of the slight increase in heat, it will stay put until — well, until it dies. When it comes to the effect of rising global temperatures on amphibians (两栖动物), the frog-boiling fable is more than just a metaphor (隐喻).(人人都知道这个故事:把青蛙放进一盆水里,慢慢加热,青蛙不会跳出去。它察觉不到水温在一点点升高,就一直待在原地,直到 —— 唉,直到死去。说到全球气温上升对两栖动物造成的影响,温水煮青蛙这个寓言不只是一个隐喻)”可知,文章通过讲述一个故事引出主题。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Between 2004 and 2022, rising temperatures became the primary reason why more than 100 amphibian species were slipping toward extinction.( 2004 至 2022 年间,气温升高是一百多种两栖动物走向灭绝的首要原因)”可知,两栖动物数量减少的主要原因是气温上升。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“Yet losing amphibians would be disastrous because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems, wolfing insects down and, in turn, being eaten by larger predators(然而,两栖动物的消失将是灾难性的,因为它们在生态系统食物链中是关键一环,____昆虫,反过来被更大捕食者吃掉)”结合食物链逻辑,可知,它们捕食昆虫,反过来被更大捕食者吃掉,故划线词短语意为“大量捕食昆虫”。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““It’s not all bad news,” said Jennifer Luedtke, an amphibian group leader of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “But we really must build on this improvement and significantly increase investment in amphibian conservation.”(国际自然保护联盟两栖动物项目负责人詹妮弗・吕德特克说:“并非全都是坏消息。但我们必须在现有改善成果的基础上继续努力,大幅增加两栖动物保护方面的投入。”)”可知,吕德特克对两栖动物的未来抱有希望。

There is a growing hope in the field of earthquake prediction due to artificial intelligence (AI), which is challenging the widely accepted belief that earthquake prediction is impossible. Through a test carried out in China, a team of researchers from the University of Texas, Austin have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that can predict 70% of earthquakes up to seven days in advance.
The research team believes that their method worked well because they used a simple machine learning method. Based on the team’s understanding of earthquake physics, the AI was provided with a set of data on earthquake, and then taught itself by using a five-year earthquake record database. After the learning process, the AI was able to predict earthquakes by listening and analyzing signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.
This achievement undoubtedly marks a milestone in the field of AI-powered earthquake prediction research. “Earthquakes arrive without warning,” explains Alexandros, a lead researcher at the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how well you are prepared. Even with the 70% accuracy, this is a huge achievement which could help reduce economic and human losses and contribute to earthquake preparation worldwide.”
Although it remains to be seen whether this method will be as effective in other areas, the researchers believe that if used in areas with more earthquake tracking networks, their AI algorithms can deliver even more accurate predictions. In the short term, the next step is to test AI in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and a continuous recording history of over 6 years, making it an excellent testing ground for these purposes.
In the long run, the authors hope to combine the AI system with physics-based models. This combined strategy could be particularly important in situations where data is poor or lacking. “There’s still a long way to go, but many advances like this, taken together, are what drive science forward,” said Scott, the bureau’s director.
12. How does the AI algorithm predict earthquakes?
A. By using algorithms to collect data. B. By identifying data from the satellites.
C. By analyzing earth background sounds. D. By understanding earthquake physics.
13. What does Alexandros intend to show?
A. Practical methods to reduce quake losses. B. Significant value of AI quake prediction.
C. Essential work of earthquake preparation. D. Obvious limitations of current prediction.
14. What does the follow-up research focus on?
A. Combining the system with physics-based models.
B. Applying the AI approach to other fields.
C. Improving earthquake tracking networks in Texas.
D. Conducting AI prediction tests in Texas.
15. Which is the best title for the text?
A. AI: Reducing Earthquake Losses B. AI: Stopping Earthquake from Happening
C. AI: Predicting Most Earthquakes D. AI: Remaking earthquake prevention rules
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了一项地震预测领域的AI科研成果,阐述其工作原理、应用价值以及后续的研究规划。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“After the learning process, the AI was able to predict earthquakes by listening and analyzing signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth. (学习完成后,人工智能通过聆听并分析地球背景隆隆声中即将发生地震的信号来预测地震。)”可知,AI算法通过分析地球背景声音预测地震。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Even with the 70% accuracy, this is a huge achievement which could help reduce economic and human losses and contribute to earthquake preparation worldwide. (即便准确率为70%,这仍是一项重大成就,有助于减少经济与人员损失,助力全球地震防灾准备。)”可知,Alexandros意在说明AI地震预测的重大价值。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In the short term, the next step is to test AI in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and a continuous recording history of over 6 years, making it an excellent testing ground for these purposes. (短期来看,下一步是在得克萨斯州测试这套人工智能,得州的TexNet有300个地震监测站和超过6年连续记录数据,是理想试验场。)”可知,后续研究短期重点是在得州开展AI预测测试。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段引出AI可预测地震;第二段介绍AI预测地震的工作原理;第三段说明这项成果的重大意义;第四、五段介绍后续短期试验与长期研究目标。由此可知,本文围绕AI预测地震这项科研成果展开,因此“AI: Predicting Most Earthquakes (AI:预测大多数地震)”最适合作为文章标题。

Leslie Nielsen’s childhood was difficult, but he had one shining star in his life — his uncle, a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle received inspired Nielsen to pursue a career in acting. Even though he often feared he would be found to lack talent, he kept moving forward. He earned a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and made his first television appearance in 1948. However, becoming a full-time and successful actor remained an uphill battle for another eight years, before he landed a series of film roles that finally brought him public attention.
Even so, what he had achieved was still not what he truly wanted. Nielsen had long believed he was suited for comedy, yet his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It was not until 1980, 32 years into his career, that he landed the role in Airplane! That seemed tailor-made for him. The movie opened a new chapter of his career, in which his outstanding comedic performance alone could guarantee a film’s commercial success, even if critics did not think highly of it.
Was Nielsen content with his career? The answer was yes and no. He was delighted to finally perform the comedy he had always wanted to do. Yet even in his later years, he remained curious about new roles and challenges ahead. He never stopped working and never retired.
Leslie Nielsen’s devotion to acting is truly inspiring. He achieved extraordinary success in his career merely through consistent hard work and strong determination. His story proves that a single persistent dream can lead to an extraordinary life.
4. Why did Nielsen want to be an actor?
A. He enjoyed watching movies. B. He was eager to earn money.
C. He wanted to be like his uncle. D. He felt he was good at acting.
5. What do we know about Nielsen in the second half of his career?
A. He directed some high-quality movies. B. He avoided taking on new challenges.
C. He focused on playing dramatic roles. D. He became a successful comedy actor.
6. Which of the following best describes Nielsen?
A. Creative but impatient. B. Determined and adventurous.
C. Talented but lazy. D. Cautious and self-centered.
7. What does Nielsen’s career story tell us?
A. Art is long, life is short. B. He who laughs last laughs longest.
C. It’s never too late to learn. D. Where there’s a will there’s a way.
C
Everyone knows this: Slowly turn up the heat on a frog in a pot of water, and the frog won’t hop out. Unaware of the slight increase in heat, it will stay put until — well, until it dies. When it comes to the effect of rising global temperatures on amphibians (两栖动物), the frog-boiling fable is more than just a metaphor (隐喻). In fact, it is playing out in the real world.
Climate change is becoming one of the biggest threats to frogs and other amphibians, according to a major study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Between 2004 and 2022, rising temperatures became the primary reason why more than 100 amphibian species were slipping toward extinction.
The spread of disease among frogs and the destruction of their habitats have long been recognized as reasons why many amphibians are decreasing. However, this new study goes further. It establishes climate change as a major risk for amphibians around the world, too. The soft-skinned animals lack the fur and feathers to help adjust their temperature in this hotter and more drought-stricken world.
Less attention is paid to frogs and other amphibians compared to more well-known groups like birds. Yet losing amphibians would be disastrous because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems, wolfing insects down and, in turn, being eaten by larger predators (捕食者). “Without those amphibians to fill that role, we will see the breakdown of this food web,” said Neam, who works for an Austin-based environmental group.
Luckily, habitat protection and other conservation measures have been taken to help recover more than five dozen amphibians from Costa Rica to Malaysia. “It’s not all bad news,” said Jennifer Luedtke, an amphibian group leader of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “But we really must build on this improvement and significantly increase investment in amphibian conservation.”
8. How is the topic introduced?
A. By listing facts. B. By explaining ideas.
C. By sharing a story. D. By raising a question.
9. What is the main reason for the decrease of amphibians?
A. The spread of disease. B. The loss of habitats.
C. The rise of temperature. D. The lack of feathers.
10. What does the underlined phrase “wolfing insects down” most probably mean?
A. Eating numerous insects. B. Observing small insects.
C. Removing tiny insects. D. Protecting weak insects.
11. How does Luedtke feel about the future of amphibians?
A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Uncertain. D. Curious.
D
There is a growing hope in the field of earthquake prediction due to artificial intelligence (AI), which is challenging the widely accepted belief that earthquake prediction is impossible. Through a test carried out in China, a team of researchers from the University of Texas, Austin have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that can predict 70% of earthquakes up to seven days in advance.
The research team believes that their method worked well because they used a simple machine learning method. Based on the team’s understanding of earthquake physics, the AI was provided with a set of data on earthquake, and then taught itself by using a five-year earthquake record database. After the learning process, the AI was able to predict earthquakes by listening and analyzing signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.
This achievement undoubtedly marks a milestone in the field of AI-powered earthquake prediction research. “Earthquakes arrive without warning,” explains Alexandros, a lead researcher at the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how well you are prepared. Even with the 70% accuracy, this is a huge achievement which could help reduce economic and human losses and contribute to earthquake preparation worldwide.”
Although it remains to be seen whether this method will be as effective in other areas, the researchers believe that if used in areas with more earthquake tracking networks, their AI algorithms can deliver even more accurate predictions. In the short term, the next step is to test AI in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and a continuous recording history of over 6 years, making it an excellent testing ground for these purposes.
In the long run, the authors hope to combine the AI system with physics-based models. This combined strategy could be particularly important in situations where data is poor or lacking. “There’s still a long way to go, but many advances like this, taken together, are what drive science forward,” said Scott, the bureau’s director.
12. How does the AI algorithm predict earthquakes?
A. By using algorithms to collect data. B. By identifying data from the satellites.
C. By analyzing earth background sounds. D. By understanding earthquake physics.
13. What does Alexandros intend to show?
A. Practical methods to reduce quake losses. B. Significant value of AI quake prediction.
C. Essential work of earthquake preparation. D. Obvious limitations of current prediction.
14. What does the follow-up research focus on?
A. Combining the system with physics-based models.
B. Applying the AI approach to other fields.
C. Improving earthquake tracking networks in Texas.
D. Conducting AI prediction tests in Texas.
15. Which is the best title for the text?
A. AI: Reducing Earthquake Losses B. AI: Stopping Earthquake from Happening
C. AI: Predicting Most Earthquakes D. AI: Remaking earthquake prevention rules
