Zou Bin, 27, a building worker from Xin hua, Hunan Province, was the first Chinese to be awarded first prize for his splendid bricklaying technique at the World Skills Competition in 2015.
Zou's story of construction began in his early childhood when he played at a construction site where his parents made a living, reportedCCTV. As he grew older, he assisted them with their work. “At first, I was just helping them move the bricks and mix mortar(砂浆). Later on,Istarted learning the skill,” Zou told China Daily.

The paper, From Social Media to Artificial Intelligence: Improving Research a Digital Harms in Youth, calls for a critical of how we study the impact,Internet-basedtechnologres on young people's mental health, and outlines where future research canlearn from several pitfalls of social media research.

The paper describes how the impact of social media is often interpreted as one isolate causal factor, which neglects different types of social media use, as well as contextualfactor that influence both technology use and mental health. Without rethinking this approach future research on AI risks getting caught up in a new media panic, as it did for social media.
“We are calling for a cooperative evidence based framework that will hold big tea accountable in a proactive, more ,and information way,”said Professor Andrew Drbykik.

Researchers at the University of Southampton have proposed that some wild plant specie possess certain attributes which make them more suitable for human cultivation than others.The scientists, investigating the origins of domesticated plants, say understanding these key genetic and morphological properties may provide important clues about how to develop future, climate change adapted crops.
They suggest that looking at today's existing undomesticated plants could help meet future challenges of varieties to resist rising global temperatures and unpredictable weather.
Domesticates plants are those which have been adapted from the wild for human use,often over thousands of years. Around 12 thousand years ago, hunter-gatherer societies began cultivating a wide range of species as more reliable sources of food. By repeatedly growing seeds from their best plants each season, humans slowly produced stronger crops with improved output— but only some of the wild species were domesticated and others were abandoned.
The researchers behind this new study say useful, hidden properties in some wild species prepared them for domestication. Their research reviews a host of past literature and evidence to examine why just a minority of these wild plants were domesticated and how modern cultivated varieties differ at a level from their ancestors and present-day wild“cousins”.
Lead author of the study. Professor Mark Chapman of the University of Southampton,“Tens of thousands of plant species are eatable, yet just a few hundred have been domesticated and a mere 15 species provide 90 percent of our ears. Hundreds of wild plants were collected during the Neolithic Period by humans, but were later abandoned as food sources.We have explored which genetic or physical traits facilitated or constrained the domestication of wild species.”
The scientists conclude that present-day wild plants, underused crops in local communities, or partially domesticated species may hold key, useful traits which can be controlled through selection and precision breeding. They hope their study will help in form future work to adapt species with there of improving our food security in a fast changing world climate. 32. What does the underlined word“attributes” mean in paragraph 1
A. Varieties. B. Alternatives. C. Properties. D. Qualifications.
33. What did the domestication process suggest about human selection
A. Output improvement was key in cultivation.
B. Humans prioritized plants with rapid growth.
C. Hunter-gatherers avoided plant cultivation initrally.
D. All wild species were equally suitable for domestication. 34. What is the ultimate goal of the research conducted by the University of Southampton
A. To increase domesticated plant species.
B. To ensure food security in climate change.
C. To identify the most, nutritious wild plants.
D. To preserve the génetes diversity of wild plants.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Climate Change Impacts and Future Crop Strategies
B. The Domestication of Wild Plants and Food Security
C Ihe Genetics of Wild Plants and Their Diverse Attributes
D. The History of Cultivation and Hunter-gatherers’ Practice 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

The sky turned an unusual orange as 16-year-old Kalyna checked the saddle (马鞍) onSovereignty. Wildfires had been spreading through the Los Angeles area for days, forcing nearly 200,000 people to leave their homes. The air smelled like burnt toast, making Kalyna's eyes water. Kalyna s family had already loaded their horses onto trucks, but Sovereignty—a nervous brown horse belonging to their neighbor— refused to enter the vehicle. Flames moved closer, coloring the sky red. His ears twitched (抽动) nervously as flames licked the mountainside three miles away.
“Easy, boy,” Kalyna whispered, trying to keep him calm. She knew time was running out. When Sovereignty stepped back nervously, smelling the smoke, Kalyna made a quick decision. Holding his reins(缰绳) tightly, she climbed onto his back. “We’ ll do this together,” she said.
The 14-mile escape path went through dangerous mountains. Kalyna sometimes rode and sometimes walked beside Sovereignty to save his energy. Burning pieces of wood flew around them like angry bees, while her father followed behind in his car, headlights shining through the smoky air. Twice, Sovereignty stopped at broken branches, his body wet with sweat.Kalyna's legs hurt, and her throat felt dry, but she kept talking softly to the borse. “Just a little farther,” she encouraged, offering him water from her canteen.
As they reached the safe area, people waiting by the road cheered. Sovekeignty's ears moved forward at the sounds. Kalyna got off the horse, her legs shaking slightly, and touched her fate to the horse's sweating side. “We made it,” she said quietly. A firefighter ran toward them, but Kalyna kept watching Sovereignty— now eating grass peacefully, as if nothing had happened. Kalyna smiled weakly, her heart pounding despite the relief.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Two months later, Kalyna stood nervously at an award ceremony. Backstage, a familiar horse sound made Kalyna turn quekly.
