In a recent discovery（发现）, archaeologists（考古学家）found the ruins（废墟）of an important ancient city! These ruins, found in Baliqiao, Henan, are about 3,700 years old. They are from the Xia Dynasty, which is the earliest known dynasty in China. This discovery helps fill in some pieces of history and helps us see the bigger picture of the Xia Dynasty.
The Baliqiao ruins are large, covering about 1.35 million square metres. So far, archaeologists have dug up around 1,800 square metres since they started their work in 2022. They found many interesting things, like walls, roads, and even pottery（陶器）, which show that people there were skilled and had a rich culture.
What makes the Baliqiao ruins even more exciting is its connection to another place called the Erlitou ruins, which people discovered in 1959 and are known for helping us understand the early days of China. Researchers believe that the culture of the Xia Dynasty spread far and wide, including Baliqiao. Liang Fawei, an archaeologist, explained that the objects found at both places are very alike, showing the influence（影响） of the Xia Dynasty on the Baliqiao area.
Nowadays, as researchers continue to dig at the Baliqiao ruins, we can look forward to more treasures from the past. They may help us understand how ancient people lived, what they believed in, and how the Xia Dynasty shaped early China. With each new find, they're piecing together the story of ancient China.

Should we hand over every job to machines Should we develop non-human minds that might become more intelligent than humans and finally replace（代替）us Should we risk losing control of our own future These questions were asked by many scientists in a science meeting.
In most people's minds, the rapid development of AI is of great help to humans. For example, Al has helped humans develop new medicines and design new materials to help with climate change.
When ChatGPT was first open to the public, it gained a million users in just one week; with that number quickly growing to 100 million within two months. It was widely used to do things like writing articles and creating speeches.
However, some have started to worry. Will AI go against humans one day Will AI take our place and all the people lose their jobs Will bad people use AI to harm others
These worries make scientists stop developing AI and start to think about better ways to use this technology. Most of them agree that laws should be made to make sure that AI is used safely.
Many governments are already taking action, though differently. For example, the UK, as well as the USA, opens its arms for AI without any rules other than present ones because it regards it as a huge market. But Germany is more careful. It puts uses of AI in different areas into different levels of risk. Uses in some areas are not allowed, and companies that break the rules will be punished（惩罚）.
Making laws is the government's duty. For us common people, it may be more important to think about how we can work more effectively with AI.
（　　）22. Why do the UK and the USA open their arms for AI
A. Because they think AI brings good business.
B. Because they have a large market.
C. Because they have the best AI technology.
D. Because they think AI is safe enough.
（　　）23. What can we know from Paragraph 6
A. The UK and the USA don't have rules for AI.
B. Different countries deal with AI in different ways.
C. Germany does not allow any use of AI.
D. All countries are still thinking about AI rules.
（　　）24.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Many governments agreed to stop developing AI.
B. ChatGPT was used by up to 100 million people within two months.
C. The UK and Germany handle AI in the same way.
D. AI can solve major climate change problems.
（　　）25. What may the writer talk about next
A. How will AI develop in the future B. Why do we need laws for AI use
C. How can people work together with AI D. How does AI help solve problems
