On the evening of April 8, 2020, Dunhuang Academy and Huawei jointly launched a brand new technology?driven tour experience at the Mogao Grottoes. Using Huaweis Hetu artificial intelligence platform, combined with the output of the Digital Dunhuang project, visitors to the Mogao Grottoes can enjoy a fantasy experience.

Zhao Shengliang, director of Dunhuang Academy, said that it has been cooperating with Huawei since March 2019. Using Huaweis Hetu technology, visitors are able to see the detailed contents of the Dunhuang Art Murals (壁畫) outside the caves, through their Huawei mobile phones. This will reduce the time tourists spend inside the caves, aiding the protection of the cultural relics, while at the same time helping to increase the amount of information visitors can get.

It has collected a wealth of data and has realized the goal of sharing digital Dunhuang globally. It has played an important role in the protection and research of cultural sites, as well as promoting the development and progress of related work.

The Huawei Hetu platform unites Dunhuangs study findings, high?resolution images of the sites murals and virtual, three?dimensional models with the real Mogao Grottoes. It has not only recreated the real tour of the scenic spot, but also developed a new way of digitally experiencing the grottoes. When people visit the site, they not only have the experience of seeing the real grottoes, but they can appreciate the admirable artworks more clearly and in greater detail.

Shi Wenlan said the only thing that interests her is dealing with smelly centuries?old books. “I dont want to drink, and I dont want to eat or move. I like sitting alone under the warm lights, mending holes and cutting pages. Im a boring person, but Im doing an interesting thing,” she said. In the past 26 years, the 51?year?old restorer of ancient books at the Hunan Library in Changsha, capital of Hunan Province, has brought about 100,000 pages of ancient books back to life. Her work helps to ensure that ancient knowledge can be read and appreciated by people today. Shi has great faith in her little?known job. “Ancient books are precious documents and important achievements of Chinese civilization. To restore them is to rescue cultural relics that are dying out,” she said.

Books age and decay (腐烂) over time. “Though technology, such as accurately controlled temperatures and humidity levels, can be used to slow the process, a number of old books are on the edge of withering away forever,” experts said. “At the Hunan Library alone, a third of its 680,000 ancient books are in urgent need of restoration, which means each of its eight restorers needs to complete 3,000 pages a year,” said Liu Xueping, director of the librarys special collection department. More young restorers must be trained to promote the production of ancient books, so human civilization can be preserved despite the damage of time, experts said.

In recent years, the government has attached great importance to the restoration of ancient books and has put forward many policies to encourage more people to take up the work. The number of restorers has now reached about 1,000. They have better educational backgrounds and receive more systematic training, as well as better salaries and higher social status, Shi said.

8. Which of the following best describes a book restorers job?

A. Boring. B. Well?paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.

9. What does the underlined phrase “withering away” mean in paragraph 2?

A. Falling. B. Reducing. C. Weakening. D. Disappearing.

10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. It is important to restore books.

B. Restorers will receive less education.

C. Restorers are receiving more attention.

D. It will be easier to be a restorer in the future.

11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. Human civilization can be preserved

B. Ancient books have been brought back to life

C. Ancient books are in urgent need of restoration

D. Restorers preserve ancient books for descendants

A group of scientists are hurrying to document ancient ruins on the US territory of Puerto Rico. The scientists are working as fast as they can before rising sea level destroys a large part of the islands history.

Scientists hope to use the 3D images they have taken to help identify which sites are most at?risk to natural disasters and other dangers. Falko Kuester, a scientist, said, “A big part of what were working on is to make the invisible visible and make sure it stays in our memory. ”

Scientists first explored a large stretch of land along Puerto Ricos north coast. That area includes a ceremonial (仪式的) center used by the Taino Indians about 2,000 years ago. Isabel Rivera, an environmental archaeologist (考古學家), said the scientists found what appears to be a large settlement just east of the ceremonial site.

The Taino Indians once lived on many islands in the Caribbean Sea. But after the arrival of Christopher Columbus and other Europeans, the native people were nearly all killed. Rivera said, “Up to today, there is still a lot we dont know about native culture along our coasts. Its not in our history books. We want to recover that information before it disappears.”

Some scientists say that warmer temperatures in the Caribbean increase the number and strength of storms. Scientists noted that large amounts of water caused by Hurricane Maria washed away part of the area they are studying.

Eric Lo, an engineer, flew to Puerto Rico in August 2017 to launch the project one month before Maria struck the island. Lo was surprised at what he saw when he returned to the US territory months later. He said, “Pieces of land where I had stood and flown the drone (无人驾驶飞机) didnt exist anymore. They were underwater.”

Scientists are now trying to find out how badly the hurricane and loss of land have affected the archaeological site they are studying. Scientists are using 3D models based on drone images to measure areas and explore other details.

12. What can scientists most probably see by applying 3D images?

A. The sites most likely to disappear quickly.

B. The remaining territory of Puerto Rico.

C. The sites staying in memory.

D. The history destroyed by rising sea level.

13. What do we know about the Taino Indians from the text?

A. They were all killed by Christopher Columbus.

B. They settled in the center of Puerto Rico.

C. They took advantage of a ceremonial site.

D. They didnt experience hurricanes.

14. What can we infer from Erics words?

A. Archaeological digging caused the loss of land.

B. His engineering work is valueless.

C. Storms made severe damage to the sites.

D. Global warming is the cause of all the losses.

15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. How to win over nature B. Secrets of a heritage site

C. Impacts of climate change D. A race to document heritage

第二节

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

An encounter in a department store

Candle holders, picture frames and so on surrounded me in a household goods store. While my husband and I waited for construction to be finished in our new house, I enjoyed seeking decorating ideas. A figurine on one of the shelves attracted my attention, and I picked it up. It was beautiful, made of cast bronze: A woman is dancing with a young girl, their faces caught in a moment of pure joy, and the girl is looking up at what could only be her mother.

Memories flooded in, and I remembered my daughter, Laura, my son, Glenn, and me dancing around the living room. I was a nurse, which meant long shifts at the hospital, so I cherished these moments with my kids.

I could see both of my children—Glenn dancing to the record player as Laura spun round and round. Time had passed in the blink of an eye. My husband and I were moving out of the house theyd grown up in. Laura has children of her own and works as a designer. Glenn also works in a design company.

I had to buy it, and knew just where Id put it in the new house. It would be put on the side of the fireplace in the living room. Only one thing could make my purchase more perfect: if this figurine was part of a set, the other piece of a mother dancing with a boy might exist.

Determined, I searched the entire store. I carefully scanned every shelf. There was no companion figurine anywhere, nor a salesperson to help me. Maybe the cashier will know, I thought. I headed to the registers. As I stood in the checkout line, I spotted an older woman walking quickly with something like a figurine in one of her hands.

注意:續写词数应为150左右。

Paragraph 1:

I stepped aside, so the woman could get past.

Paragraph 2:

I asked the cashier about the woman helping me.
