A faithful dog survived for over 10 weeks after her owner died unexpectedly while hiking in the Colorado Mountains. Up to now she has regained most of her weight lost during the suffering and is back on the hiking footpaths as usual.

The China - South Asia Expo, a significant event for promoting economic and trade cooperation between China and South Asian countries, has recently announced a major scheduling change. Starting from this year, the expo will be held annually in June, with a fixed duration of six days.
The 9th China - South Asia Expo, set to take place from June 19th to 24th, 2025, in Kunming, Yunnan Province, continues to uphold the theme of “Unity, Collaboration, and Joint Development”.

In the following five days, the expo is open to the general public, enabling more people to experience the charm of South Asian cultures and products.
The decision to fix the expo in June is not arbitrary. June is a time when the weather in
Kunming is pleasant, which is suitable for hosting large - scale events. Also, it provides a more stable schedule for participating countries and enterprises to make preparations in advance.
Moreover, the fixed - time arrangement helps to enhance the brand image of the expo and attract more international attention. With this new scheduling, the China - South Asia Expo is expected to play an even more crucial role in promoting regional economic integration.

A. In May. B. In June. C. In July. D. In August.
29. What is the theme of the 9th China - South Asia Expo

D. “Innovation - driven Growth”.
30. Who can visit the expo on the first day
A. Only Chinese visitors. B. Only South Asian visitors.
C. Professional visitors. D. The general public.
31. Why is the expo fixed in June
A. Because June is the off - season for business, so it’s easier to hold the expo.
B. Because the weather in Kunming is good in June, and it helps with preparations and brand - building.
C. Because most South Asian countries are free in June.
D. Because it coincides with other important international events.

Artificial intelligence - enabled voice cloning tools have made it easier for criminals to imitate strangers’ voices and trick victims into handing over large sums of money.
For example, a scammer might target a victim posing as their grandchild and claiming they require cash fast. Older people who might not be familiar with new technologies such as AI can be
particularly subject to these types of scams, particularly when the caller on the other line sounds identical to a loved one.
In 2023, senior citizens were cheated out of roughly $3.4 billion in a range of financial crimes, according to the FBI data. The agency recently warned that AI has increased the "believability" or criminal scams by assisting with content creation and correcting human errors that might otherwise serve as warning signs of a trick.
"So much of the fraud (欺诈)is based on psychology," Chuck Herrin, field chief information security officer for F5, a security and fraud prevention firm, told CBS MoneyWatch. "They say things that bring about a fear - based emotional response because they know when humans get afraid, we get stupid and don't exercise the best judgement."
Cybersecurity experts have a simple but effective recommendation for avoiding getting victimized by such scams: creating a family "safe word" to verify a family member or loved one's identity. That means choosing a word or phrase that can't be easily guessed.
"It needs to be unique and should be something that's difficult to guess." James Scobey, chief information security officer at Keeper Security, told CBS MoneyWatch. "It shouldn't be something that can be researched online about you or your family. Avoid street names, towns, phone numbers and individual names as part of a pass phrase." A safe phrase, consisting of at least four words, offers a greater degree of security, he added.
Using a safe word is a good first line of defense against scammers. So, any time you are asked for financial assistance, always ask for the safe word before transferring any money.
32. What is the threat posed by AI - enabled voice cloning tools
A. They help strangers create fake identities.
B. They trick victims into giving away money.
C. They increase the believability of a grandchild.
D. They prevent victims from recovering lost funds.
33. What is the psychological strategy used in fraud
A. Inspiring physical response. B. Assisting with content creation.
C. Using fright to cause poor judgement. D. Interrupting the decision - making process.
34. What does the underlined word "verify" in paragraph 5 mean
A. Expose. B. Confirm. C. Suggest. D. Represent.
35. What is recommended when creating a safe phrase
A. It should be shared with new friends.
B. It should be the same for every family member.
C. It should be easily recalled by family members.
D. It should avoid using personal details found online.

Dear Chris,
Good news for you! The City Museum will hold a series of exhibitions on traditional Chinese culture, and I’d like to invite you to visit the calligraphy exhibition with me.
The calligraphy exhibition will run from July 10th to July 20th at the City Museum. Its theme is “The Beauty of Chinese Characters: A Journey Through Calligraphy”. On display are works from different dynasties, including elegant running script by Wang Xizhi and powerful cursive script by Zhang Xu. There will also be live demonstrations by master calligraphers, showing basic strokes and writing techniques.
I chose calligraphy because it’s not just writing but an art that carries China’s history and philosophy. It’s a great way to understand how Chinese culture values harmony and balance.
Looking forward to your reply!
Yours,
Li Jin
