Although I’m not a music major, I brought my beloved violin to the United States during this study abroad semester. This violin could not be kept apart from my life.
When I was six years old, I was one of the typical kids who started to learn musical instruments. Parents would hear their young kids shouting, “Mom! I want to learn the piano! Dad! I want to learn the violin!” Well, the difference is, for me, that it was not my free will. Yes, my mom just forced me to play the violin. In the violin school, you could hear the kids crying in the practice room after being scolded (责骂) by their moms. I was one of them. At the time, I hated the violin. However, I started to love the violin when my mom stopped focusing on my relationship with the violin in high school, because her attention naturally changed to my school performance. Maybe she didn’t have enough energy to force me to practice anymore.
When I finally got into college, the first thing I did was to register for the campus orchestra. I didn’t want to stop playing the violin. The orchestra helped me get involved in such a harmonious, friendly group for the first time while I was playing an instrument. It was my first time meeting friends who have similar hobbies, passion and dreams. I can’t forget my first classical concert. I was feeling true love toward the orchestra and the violin. I was extremely excited and I couldn’t wait for the next concert. The time just passed as a blink. Two hours felt like 10 minutes.
For everyone, it’s never too late to learn to play an instrument. It is really one of the best ways to express one’s emotions and communicate it to other people, and I have grown my emotions while being a part of an orchestra.
4. What can we know about the author’s mother when he was six

Is this text AI-generated That question crops up a lot these puter software to flag AI-generated text exists. But most programs share one crucial weakness, says Jun Jang: no sense of style. His new software hopes to fill that gap.
Jun’s program takes note of a writer’s stylistic characteristics. It can then use those characteristics to check if another text was written by the same person. Jun says his project was motivated by seeing students admit using AI tools on classroom assignments.
But relying too much on these tools can erode someone’s creativity. It can also harm their ability to work out problems themselves, Jun says. And young people are most at risk. “I figured that by me making an attempt to solve this issue, I could help millions of teachers as well as maybe help kids become more creative and spark more innovation.” Jun says.
AI use for homework is not rare. The Turnitin program is an existing tool to check who wrote a piece of text. In the first year it was available, it analyzed more than 200 million student papers. Last year, it reported evidence that some 11 in every 100 papers it reviewed had used AI for at least a fifth of their text. Three in every 100 papers used AI for four-fifths of their content.
“That’s absolutely no surprise,” Jun says. Some forms of generative AI are powerful, game-changing technologies. “Using AI can be good for education, obviously,” he says, “But a lot of kids don’t use it properly.”
Since the release of some AI software, teachers increasingly have had to make hard calls. They must decide whether a student wrote an essay, or just asked a machine to write it. Wrongfully flagging some student’s work as cheating would decrease the student’s trust in their teacher.
Jun’s new program hopes to limit that.
7. What does Jun’s new software focuses on
A. Text length. B. Content logic.
C. Word count. D. Writing style.
8. What does the underlined word “erode” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Build. B. Strengthen.
C. Damage. D. Improve.
9. What does Jun Jang say about students using AI for assignments
A. It is always harmful.
B. It can be improperly used.
C. It should be banned.
D. It promotes true innovation.
10. What does Jun’s new program aim to do
A. Increase students’ writing speed.
B. Generate more essays for students.
C. Teach students to use AI properly.
D. Help teachers make right judgments.

For the first time, scientists have recorded brain activity in a wild sea animal, disclosing the sleep habits of elephant seals (象海豹) during the months they spend at sea.
The new findings, published on April 20 in Science, show that while elephant seals may spend 10 hours a day sleeping on the beach during the reproductive season, they average just 2 hours of sleep per day when they are at sea on months-long food-searching trips. They sleep for about 10 minutes at a time during deep, 30-minute dives (潜水), often moving downwards while fast asleep, and sometimes lying still on the seafloor.
Elephant seals are most easily hunted by predators (捕食者) such as sharks and killer whales when they are at the surface in the open ocean, so they only spend a minute or two breathing at the surface in between dives. “They’re able to hold their breath for a long time, so they can go into a sound sleep on these dives deep below the surface where it’s safe,” said Kendall-Bar, the first author of the study.
Kendall-Bar developed a system (EEG) that can record brain activity in wild elephant seals during their normal diving behavior at sea. In addition to the system, the seals carried time-depth recorders, accelerometers, and other instruments that allowed the researchers to track the seals’ movements along with the corresponding brain activity. With data on brain activity and diving behavior from 13 non-adult female elephant seals, including a total of 104 sleep dives, Kendall-Bar developed a computer program for identifying periods of sleep based on the dive data alone.
Williams called Kendall-Bar’s work on the project an excellent achievement. “It’s an amazing feat to pull this off,” she said. “Kendall-Bar used the dive data to create data-driven animations so we can really imagine what the animal is doing as it dives.”
11. What can we learn of elephant seals during the food-searching season
A. They spend 2 hours daily on sleeping. B. They sleep 30 minutes during each dive.
C. They spend 10 minutes daily on diving. D. They sleep 10 hours daily on the beach.
12. Why do elephant seals spend little time at the sea surface
A. To look for more food. B. To avoid being attacked.
C. To keep their brain active. D. To get more sound sleeps.
13. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The process of the study. B. The purpose of the study.
C. The function of the EEG system. D. The importance of the EEG system.
14. What’s Williams’s attitude towards Kendall-Bar’s research
A. Curious. B. Worried. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
