A little dog, rescued by the East Haven Fire Department, has been adopted by the fire station. Named Riggs, this little dog greets everyone warmly, uplifting the firefighters after a hard day's work. In his new home, Riggs is busy being a friend, a town celebrity, and a mascot(吉祥物).
The six - month - old dog was rescued from a hot car that was parked by the East Haven Town Beach. The inside temperature of the locked car was 50℃ on that August day. Yet the little dog, taken to the East Haven Animal Control, was healthy after this terrible experience.
Everyone fell in love with this little dog and wanted him. When it was finally decided that the fire department could keep him, the next important step was to give him an appropriate name. The entire town became involved online in selecting a name from a list of names and Riggs, a common word for a fire truck, was chosen. Riggs fit right in with the firefighters, and Fire Chief Matthew Marcarelli.
Marcarelli described how seeing Riggs, a support dog now, actually changed the mood of tired staff after a long day of work. He explained that station support dogs are becoming increasingly popular as they assist with the mental health and well - being of first responders. Cute and friendly, Riggs also offers distraction to the first responders. “We see a lot of misfortunes and some folks try to internalize them. We have ways of dealing with them and he's going to be one of these ways to help us,” Marcarelli said.
Called the rescuers' rescue, Riggs is loved by all and has a special place in Marcarelli's heart. Riggs now has a loving home and often carries out the duties with them. He even has his own fire hydrant(消防栓).
24. What can be learned about Riggs?
A. He is trained to greet everyone.
B. He wins great popularity.
C. He escaped from a car by himself.
D. He was a bit out of condition.
25. How did Riggs get his name?
A. By firefighters' preference.
B. By the locals' voting together.
C. By following Marcarelli's suggestion.
D. By choosing from names of fire trucks.
26. Why are support dogs favoured by first responders?
A. They're friendly to strangers.
B. They're able to cure mental illness.
C. They can provide emotional support.
D. They help the staff do work faster.
27. The East Haven Fire Department regards Riggs as ________.
A. a vital team member
B. a guardian for them
C. a good laugh for all
D. a well - known mascot

答案： 24. B：理解具体信息。根据第一段中的“In his new home, Riggs is busy being a friend, a town celebrity, and a mascot(吉祥物)”可知，Riggs很受欢迎。 25. B：理解具体信息。根据第三段中的“The entire town became involved online in selecting a name from a list of names and Riggs, a common word for a fire truck, was chosen”可知，Riggs这一名字是小镇居民从一系列名字当中选出来的。 26. C：推断。根据倒数第二段中的“Marcarelli described how seeing Riggs, a support dog now, actually changed the mood of tired staff”和“they assist with the mental health and well - being of first responders... offers distraction to the first responders”可知，支援犬因为能够提供情感支持而受到第一反应人员的喜爱。 27. A：推断。根据文中提到的消防员和消防署署长对Riggs的喜爱，Riggs给消防员们提供的帮助，以及最后一段中的“Riggs is loved by all and has a special place in Marcarelli’s heart... has his own fire hydrant(消防栓)”可推知，如今消防署已经将Riggs视为重要的团队成员。

“The Worthington Christian defeated the Westerville North by 2 - 1 in an Ohio boys' soccer game on Saturday.” That's according to a story that ran last month in The Columbus Dispatch. That lead was written not by a sportswriter, but by an artificial intelligence (AI) tool.
Many news organizations are now examining how AI might be used in their work. But if they begin their “experimenting” with high school sports because they are less momentous than war, peace, climate change and politics, they may miss something crucial. Nothing may be more important to the students who play high school sports, and to their families, neighborhoods, and sometimes, the whole town. That next game is what the students train for, work toward, and dream about. Someday, almost all student athletes will go on to have jobs in front of screens, in office parks, at schools, in hospitals or on construction sites. They may suffer blows and setbacks. But the high school games they played and watched, as well as their hopes and cheers, will stay vivid in their memories.
I have a small idea. If newspapers will no longer send staff reporters to cover high school games, why not hire high school student journalists? News organizations can pay students an hourly wage to cover high school games. The young reporters might learn how to be fair to all sides, write vividly, and attract readers. That's what some celebrities in sports did, and do.
And think of the great writers who were inspired by sports: Hemingway on fishing, Bernard Malamud and Marianne Moore on baseball, Chen Zhongshi on football, and CLR James on cricket, who said, “There can be raw pain and bleeding where so many thousands see the inevitable(不可避免的) ups and downs of only a game.” A good high school writer, unlike a robot, could tell readers not just the score, but the stories of the game.
28. Why is the lead mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce an original idea.
B. To show AI's wide application.
C. To bring in the opinion about AI.
D. To stress AI's importance to news.
29. What does the author think of high school games?
A. Hopeful. B. Eye - catching. C. Competitive. D. Far - reaching.
30. What is good sports news like according to the author?
A. Rich in contents.
B. Fair in comments.
C. Centered on results.
D. Targeted on readers.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. News Organizations Are Abusing AI
B. High Schoolers Can Do What AI Can't
C. Great Writers Are Crazy About Sports
D. AI Ruins High School Students' Memory

答案： 28. C：推断。第一段介绍了《哥伦布快讯》上的一则关于学校体育比赛的头条新闻，这则新闻报道不是体育新闻记者写的，而是人工智能工具写的。再结合下文作者对人工智能用于学校体育新闻的看法可知，第一段提到这一头条新闻是为了引出下文关于人工智能的观点。 29. D：理解观点、态度。根据第二段中的“they may miss something crucial. Nothing may be more important to the students... to their families, neighborhoods, and sometimes, the whole town. That next game is what the students train for, work toward, and dream about... But the high school games they played and watched, as well as their hopes and cheers, will stay vivid in their memories”可知，作者认为，新闻机构如果因为认为高中体育比赛没有战争、和平、气候变化及政治重要而用人工智能撰写高中体育比赛新闻的话，他们可能会错过一些至关重要的东西。 30. A：推断。根据最后一段中作者引用的CLR James的话“There can be raw pain and bleeding where so many thousands see the inevitable(不可避免的) ups and downs of only a game”及最后一句“A good high school writer... could tell readers not just the score, but the stories of the game”可知，好的体育新闻不仅要告诉读者比赛的结果，还要讲述比赛的故事，要能体现比赛的起伏。 31. B：理解文章主旨要义。根据第二段中作者对人工智能撰写高中体育比赛新闻的反对、对高中体育比赛的积极影响的描述，第三段中作者建议新闻机构雇用高中生记者来报道高中体育比赛和最后一段提到的高中生新闻撰写者比人工智能有优势的地方可知，本文主要讲述的是高中生能够做到人工智能做不到的事情——把高中体育比赛新闻撰写得有声有色。

As the planet gets hotter, the need for cool living environments is becoming more urgent. But air conditioning is not always recommended for use since units produce massive greenhouse gases and use lots of energy. Now, researchers have found in a new study an inexpensive, sustainable choice to replace mechanical cooling with refrigerants (制冷剂) in hot and dry climates, and a way to mitigate the dangers of heat waves during electricity blackouts.
The researchers set out to answer how to achieve a new benchmark (基准) for passive cooling inside naturally conditioned buildings in hot climates such as Southern California. They examined the use of roof materials that radiate (辐射) heat into the cold universe, even under direct sunlight, and how to connect them with temperature - driven air exchanges(that is, air can enter buildings and circulate freely). These cool radiator materials and coatings are often used to stop roofs overheating. Researchers have also used them to improve heat rejection from coolers. But there is untapped potential for mixing them with architectural design more fully, so they can not only reject indoor heat in a passive way, but also drive regular and healthy air changes.
“We found we could keep air temperatures several degrees below the ordinary temperature, and several degrees more below the reference ‘gold standard’ for passive cooling,” said Remy Fortin, lead author and PhD candidate at the Peter Guo - hua Fu School of Architecture. “We did this without abandoning a healthy airing.” This was never a piece of cake, considering air exchanges are a source of heat when the aim is to keep a room cooler than the outside.
The researchers hope the findings will be used to positively impact communities suffering from dangerous climate heating and heat waves. “We hope that materials scientists, architects, and engineers will be interested in these results, and that our work will inspire more thorough thinking about how to connect breakthroughs in radiative cooling materials with simple but effective architectural solutions,” said Salmaan Craig, main investigator for the project and assistant professor at the Peter Guo - hua Fu School of Architecture.
32. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Monitor. B. Relieve. C. Control. D. Predict.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The effects of airing.
B. The findings of the study.
C. The process of the research.
D. The function of cool radiators.
34. What challenge did the researchers face according to Remy Fortin?
A. Guaranteeing the room a good airing.
B. Reaching the reference gold standard.
C. Keeping the house cool without power.
D. Combining passive cooling with air exchange.
35. What do the researchers desire to do with their findings?
A. Raise public awareness of cooling materials.
B. Appeal for stricter limits on greenhouse gases.
C. Improve humans' living environments worldwide.
D. Strengthen materials science's use in architecture.

答案： 32. B：理解词汇。根据画线词前的“an inexpensive, sustainable choice to replace mechanical cooling with refrigerant (制冷剂)in hot and dry climates”可知，研究人员新发现的是一种替代机械冷却的廉价、可持续的方法，这种方法在停电期间应能减轻热浪的危害，B项“减轻”符合语境。 33. C：理解段落主旨要义。第二段中的“set out to answer”“They examined the use of roof materials... connect them with temperature - driven air exchanges”“These cool radiator materials and coatings... improve heat rejection from coolers”介绍了研究的过程。 34. D：理解具体信息。根据倒数第二段中的“we could keep air temperatures several degrees below... for passive cooling”和“We did this without abandoning a healthy airing”“This was never a piece of cake... than the outside”可知，Remy Fortin认为实现无动力制冷的同时保留健康的通风（或换气）是一项挑战，因为通风会带来热气。 35. D：推断。根据最后一段中的“our work will inspire more thorough thinking about how to connect breakthroughs in radiative cooling materials with simple but effective architectural solutions”可推知，研究人员希望他们的研究成果能激发更深入的思考，将材料科学上的突破与建筑设计联系起来。
