Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022.
Meta’s speech-to-speech translation
Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form.
Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text.
Method to identify Parkinson’s disease
Researchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the AI system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent.
Tool to interpret pig emotions
Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions.
The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven approach to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.
Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings
Researchers — led by Alphabet’s AI company Deep Mind — said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written.
The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent.
1. Which can be used for cross-cultural communication
A. Tool to interpret pig emotions.
B. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation.
C. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease.
D. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings.
2. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca
A. A historian. B. A biologist. C. A chemist. D. A sculptor.
3. What do the inventions have in common
A. They focus on health issues. B. They are developed by Facebook.
C. They aim to promote productivity. D. They are AI-driven technology tools.

A new Digital Matching Platform (平台) has been started in Kenya. It hopes to connect Kenyan women and young people with green job chances, and also give them digital skill training and career guidance. The platform links job hunters directly with employers in important green fields, such as renewable energy, sustainable farming, waste handling and ecotourism. It’s a necessary way to solve Kenya’s serious youth employment problem — about one million young people join the job market every year.
Women in Kenya are the group that faces the most difficulties in the green job market. They can’t get the chances in the new green fields because they can’t get relevant information. They have few social connections and face unfair job-hiring rules. Many young people, especially women, can’t take the green job chances just because they don’t know where to begin. The platform will offer them proper training and guidance to make sure the jobs provided meet the market’s needs and can last for a long time.
Made for mobile phones first, the platform serves users who have little digital access. It provides job hunters with personalized job notices, skill tests, learning materials and career advice. And for employers, it offers them tools to choose workers based on their ability and fair recruitment (招聘), which can help companies hire more women and young people in an efficient and fair way.
Thomas Jaeschke, head of a training programme, points out that women’s full participation is the key to green development. He also argues that the platform not only makes the quality of jobs better, but also encourages companies to use fair practices for women. By keeping an eye on the results all the time, the platform will make its services better and spread in more places. It will help more Kenyan women and young people get stable and meaningful green jobs for a long time.
4. Why is the new platform established
A. To train people to work on different jobs.
B. To solve the youth’s economic problems.
C. To connect job hunters to working opportunities.
D. To help job hunters contact employers in person.
5. What can be known about the women in Kenya from paragraph 2
A. They have little green job access.
B. They are treated unfairly in their families.
C. They don’t know where to begin when hired.
D. They have been offered training and guidance.
6. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The benefits for job hunters.
B. The services of the platform.
C. The development of the platform.
D. The requirements for the platform’s users.
7. What do Thomas Jaeschke’s words show in the last paragraph
A. The platform helps improve job quality.
B. He will keep an eye on the hiring results.
C. Women can be treated fairly in companies.
D. All women should participate in green jobs.
C
Since Dolly’s birth in 1996, cloning has long struggled with low efficiency, epigenetic errors and short-lived clones. But 2025-2026 marks a turning point, as Chinese scientists and global teams smash technical bottlenecks while revealing fundamental biological limits.
In July 2025, a Chinese Academy of Sciences team led by Lu Falong achieved a historic breakthrough. For the first time, they simultaneously overcame pre- and post-implantation epigenetic (表观遗传) barriers in somatic cell cloning. Using a combination of special chemicals, mRNA “repair enzymes” and tetraploid compensation (四倍体补偿) technology, they fixed gene expression disorders and placenta defects. This pushed the mouse cloning success rate to 30% — a world record, far higher than the previous 5-10%. The result was published in Advanced Science, offering a blueprint for efficient mammalian cloning.
Another 2025 innovation came from Qingdao Agricultural University: AI-assisted cloning for canines. Dog cloning is notoriously hard due to dark, fat-rich cytoplasm that hides nuclei. The team built an AI vision model that predicts egg cell nucleus positions in milliseconds, guiding precise enucleation (去核). This cut embryo use from 50-60 per pup to 33, with two healthy cloned puppies born in February 2025.
Yet cloning has biological limits, as revealed in a 2026 Japanese study. After 20 years and 58 generations of continuous mouse cloning (1,206 clones total), researchers found that harmful mutations accumulate 3-4 times faster than normal. Success rates peaked at generation 26, then dropped sharply; the 58th generation died days after birth. This proves infinite cloning is impossible — genetic decay (衰退) is an unbreakable barrier.
In summary, 2025-2026 brings cloning to a new era: AI and epigenetic editing boost efficiency, but biological limits and ethics set boundaries. When regulated properly, cloning can serve conservation, agriculture and medicine — without crossing moral redlines.
8. What is the major achievement of the 2025 Chinese CAS study
A. Creating the first cloned dog with AI.
B. Solving both pre- and post-implantation epigenetic barriers.
C. Proving cloning has biological limits.
D. Developing human egg cells from skin cells.
9. Why is dog cloning especially difficult
A. Dog eggs have dark cytoplasm with hidden nuclei.
B. Dogs have more genes than other mammals.
C. Dog embryos are extremely fragile.
D. No AI technology can be used on dogs.
10. What did the 2026 Japanese experiment reveal
A. Cloning success rates keep rising with generations.
B. Cloned mice have no more mutations than normal ones.
C. Continuous cloning leads to harmful mutation accumulation.
D. 58 generations of cloning are safe and sustainable.
11. What is the writer’s attitude toward cloning
A. Supportive. B. opposed. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
D
Nothing says “proud homeowner” like a clean, green lawn. A clean lawn shows your care and earns your neighbors’ admiration. Every autumn, millions of homeowners reach for their garden tools. They gather fallen leaves, bag them, and send them away. However, this tidy appearance comes at a cost. A growing movement of environmentalists suggests we simply leave the leaves instead of sending them to landfills.
If leaves are buried in landfills, they break down without oxygen and give off harmful greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming. In fact, yard waste makes up about 13% of what we throw away. Some people burn leaf piles instead. But this releases harmful chemicals into the air and creates fire risks, especially in dry conditions.
So what happens when we leave the leaves The benefits are significant. Leaf litter shelters insects, spiders and other small creatures, offering critical winter habitats for many species as noted by the Xerces Society. The National Wildlife Federation’s “Leave the Leaves” program adds that butterflies, bees and other insects rely on fallen leaves for protection.
Leaves are also natural plant food. As they break down, they release nutrients into the soil. This helps grass stay green and healthy without chemical products. Many universities recommend cutting leaves into small pieces with a lawn mower (割草机) and leaving them on the grass rather than removing them.
This autumn, consider seeing your leaves differently. They are not trash to remove but a resource to keep. Move them into garden beds. Run over them with a mower to break them into small pieces. Let them accumulate in quiet corners of your yard. These simple actions reduce pollution, support wildlife, and nourish (滋养) your soil. Sometimes the best thing we can do for the planet is also the easiest: just leave the leaves.
12. What do homeowners generally think of a clean lawn
A. It increases workload. B. It is good for wildlife. C. It needs deep thinking. D. It is a source of pride.
13. What problem do leaves in landfills cause
A. They produce greenhouse gases. B. They start big fires easily.
C. They hurt small insects in the soil. D. They pollute soil directly.
14. What is a benefit of leaf litter
A. It makes grass clean. B. It offers wildlife shelter.
C. It reduces yard waste. D. It kills harmful chemicals.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Threat Posed by Burning Leaves. B. A Smart Guide to A Clean Lawn.
C. The Hidden Gifts of Autumn Leaves. D. The Importance of Garden Wildlife.

42. 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。
The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why ” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake Was he still upset with me “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer puters are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market.
Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the 20th century.

【答案】One possible version:
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! It was a piece of cake to me.” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. I carefully connected everything. After a few adjustments, the Internet was up and running. “Done!” I announced confidently. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Soon, people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered joyfully as she packed flowers. Mr. Jackson smiled warmly and handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone moved quickly to keep up with orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. Surprisingly, the roses sold out in half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized competence wasn’t avoiding mistakes, but facing them and making the most of my strengths.
