32、 promoted bicycling by improving bike lanes and increasing the number of them. The growing number of cyclists, however, brings this question to mind: should bicyclists be required to share the responsibilities of the road? Automobile drivers have to take competency tests, follow established regulati
33、ons, and accept punishment for breaking rules. The city requests drivers to register and license their vehicles to ensure accountability (责任）。 Bicyclists who use public roadways should be held accountable, too.Lets look at what sharing the road means. For one thing, it should involve cost sharing.Au
34、toregistration and license fees are used, in part, for building and maintaining roadways. It seems only reasonable to ask bicyclists to contribute to transportation funding as well.More importantly,sharing the road includes accountability. When drivers ignore the rules of the road, the police and ot
35、her motorists have the opportunity to identify them by their license plate number and report their offenses (违法行为）。 This isnt true for bicyclists. Ive seen bicyclists moving quickly between lanes.Because they show no identification, they feel protected by anonymity(匿名）。What good would it do to repor
36、t to the police “I saw a guy on a red bike blow through the stoplight? The simple act of making bicyclists identifiable would encourage safer, more responsible riding.Of course,Ive heard arguments against asking cyclists to register and license their bikes. Some people might say, “Little kids ride b
37、ikes. Would you require a six-year-old rider to take a test and pay a fee? Obviously, the city could determine an age when cycling would be considered a means of transportation on public roads. Other people argue that bicycle fees are unfair because bikes dont damage the roadways as cars do. Bicycle
38、 registration fees could be comparatively modest, and the method for displaying a license number could be simple.Many U.S. cities and towns now implement bike registration and licensing. A statute(法规）from one. California town states that the laws regulating bicycles have a dual purpose, antitheft an
39、d safety. Im eager to see more bicyclists on the road, and Im hoping for riders who take their responsibilitiesseriously.28. To advocate responsible cycling, the author suggestsA. increasing the number of bike lanesB. giving competency tests to all cyclistsC. identifying cyclists through registratio
40、nD. reporting cycling offenses more frequently29. What is the authors purpose in writing Paragraph 4?A. To explain how bicycle registration and licensing work.B. To provide solutions to reduce irresponsible cycling of kids.C. To respond to peoples doubts about holding cyclists accountable.D. To argu

How can road safety be guaranteed for cyclists?DAlzheimers AIAn estimated 5.7 million people in the U.S. have Alzheimers disease-the most common type of de
43、mentia(痴呆）and that number is expected to more than double by 2050. Early diagnosis is crucial for patients to benefit from the few therapies available. But no scans can deliver a conclusive diagnosis while a person is alive; instead doctors have to conduct numerous and complicated clinical and neuro
44、psychological tests.So there is growing interest in developing artificial intelligence to identify Alzheimers based on brain imaging.Researchers at the University of California,San Francisco, have now successfully trained an AI algorithm(算法） to recognize one of the early signs of Alzheimers-a reduct
45、ion in the brains glucose（葡萄糖）consumption-in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.The algorithm accurately predicted an eventual Alzheimers diagnosis in nearly all the test cases, according to the study. In PET imaging, a very small amount of a radioactive compound are injected into the body,p
46、roducing three-dimensional images of metabolism(新陈代谢）。circulation and other cellular activities. PET is well suited for an AI diagnostic tool because Alzheimers leads to subtle changes in the brains metabolism that begin years before neural(神经的） tissue starts to go downhill, says study co-author Jae
47、 Ho Sohn,a radiologist at UCSF. These changes are very hard for radiologists to pick up,he notes.The algorithm was trained and tested on 2,100 PET brain images from about 1,000 people 55 years and older. The images came from a 12-year study that tracked people who would ultimately be diagnosed with
48、Alzheimers, as well as those with mild memory declines and healthy control participants. The algorithm was trained on 90 percent of the data and tested on the remaining 10 percent. It was then retested on a second, independent data set from 40 patients monitored for 10 years. The algorithm was highl
49、y sensitive and was able to recognize 81 percent of the patients in the first test group and 100 percent in the second who would be diagnosed with Alzheimers six years later, on average. The findings were published in February in Radiology.The algorithm is based on deep learning ,a machine-learning
50、technique that uses artificial neural networks programmed to learn from examples. This is one of the first promising,preliminary(初步的） applications of deep learning to the diagnosis of Alzheimers, says Christian Salvatore, a physicist at Italys National Research Council, who was not involved in the s
51、tudy. “The model performs very well when identifying patients with mild or late diagnoses, he says, “but catching it in the earliest stages remains one of the most critical open issues in this field.32.People are increasingly interested in using AI to identify Alzheimers becauseA. the number of peop
52、le suffering from dementia is more than doublingB. diagnostic methods that are both reliable and convenient are in needC. there are only a limited number of effective therapies for the patientsD. diagnosing Alzheimers disease through AI is still an unexplored area33. What can we learn about PET imag
53、ing?A. It recognizes the worsening of the neural tissue.B. It reduces the glucose consumption in the brain.C. It changes the pattern of the brains metabolism.D. It photographs various kinds of cellular activities.34. According to Paragraph 4,.A. 90% of the people in the study were trained on the alg
54、orithmB. the participants in the study consist of people both young and oldC. 81% of the people in the first test group were diagnosed with AlzheimersD. the algorithm managed to recognize all the patients in the second test group35. What can be inferred from Paragraph 5?A. The algorithm serves as a
55、promising treatment of Alzheimers.B. Deep learning has been widely applied in diagnosing Alzheimers.C. To detect Alzheimers in its earliest stages calls for more exploration.D. Whether to use the model to detect Alzheimers remains a critical issue.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选
56、项中有两项为多余选项。Is Managing Kids Screen Time a Good Idea?Screen time is a big topic of conversation in todays households, particularly during the pandemic when online education hours have multiplied for many students.36They hope to spare their kids from the countless challenges that technology can bring.
57、Yet the challenges of screen time overuse seldom come from kids devices themselves, but rather from the tense relationships that technology can bring to families.37But technology has positive benefits too. Since every child and family is different,managing screen time calls for joint family decision
58、-making.If parents believe they can manage a childs screen time through adolescence, they are not only fooling themselves but also inviting relationship trouble with their teens. It is a myth to think that parents can or should manage their kids screen time through authoritarian restrictions,even du
59、ring elementary school. 38 When children are left out of those decisions,they often become lesscommunicative with parents and siblings. This is the opposite of what parents want to achieve.39 From early ages, children are quite capable of understanding that a good life involves awareness and balance
60、. Just as they learn right from wrong,and good from bad, they can also learn to use technology in healthy ways. Learning how to regulate oneself and develop healthy behaviors is one of the primary tasks of childhood and adolescence. What happens when an adult tries to regulate a child is that the ch
61、ild misses out on the opportunity to learn for themselves. Enforced restrictions can also make children feel helpless and less confident.To be clear, this article is not suggesting that families never use apps or trackers, or that there should be no restrictions on screen time.40Parents should give
62、voice to children and involve them in the planning and decision-making process.A. Of course, there are websites that are unhealthy for kids to access.B. The alternative is to involve children in decisions that govern screen time.C. However,every family needs a family media plan between family member
63、s.D. The goal is to see, hear, feel,and understand how children view screen time.E. To manage childrens screen time, parents have invested in apps and trackers.F. To get children involved, parents should trust and develop kids self-awareness.G. What it is suggesting is that parents look at managing

79、yone. Its my great honor to be here and give a speech on saving food.Speaking of food, there are two ugly truths. First, a huge amount of food is wasted every year. Millions of tons of cooked and served food ends up in trash cans. Second, primary and secondary school students are among the top three
80、 food wasters.At present, China is still heavily dependent on the import of certain grains, and wasting food will make our efforts to be self-sufficient in vain. Moreover, wasting food also means wasting resources like water, land and energy. Therefore, it will damage the environment in the long run
81、.Realizing the severe consequences of wasting food, Ive been doing my bit to save food. At the school cafeteria, I ask for half-size servings when Im not hungry. When dining out in restaurants with family or friends, I propose ordering smaller portions and taking the leftovers home. At home, I check the fridge before making shopping plans to avoid buying more food than we actually need. Saving food benefits every one of us. Lets clean our plates today so that we can have enough for tomorrow.Thats all. Thank you for listening.
