On 3 April 2024, a magnitude 7.4 quake — Taiwan’s strongest in 25 years — shook the island’s eastern coast. Most buildings were undamaged due to strict construction standards, but mountainous and remote villages were destroyed by landslides.
When disasters affect large and inaccessible areas, responders often turn to satellite images to locate affected areas and prioritize relief efforts. “But mapping landslides from satellite imagery by eye can be time-intensive,” said Lorenzo Nava, who is jointly based at Cambridge’s Departments of Earth Sciences and Geography. “In the aftermath of a disaster, time really matters,” he said. Using AI, he identified 7,000 landslides after the Taiwan earthquake, within three hours of the satellite imagery being acquired.
Since the earthquake, Nava has been developing his AI method alongside an international team. By employing a set of satellite technologies — including satellites that can see through clouds and at night — the researchers hope to enhance AI’s landslide detection capabilities.
Nava is training AI to identify landslides in two types of satellite images — visual images of the ground surface and radar (雷达) data, the latter of which can see through cloud cover and even acquire images at night. Radar images can, however, be difficult to interpret, as they use greyscale to illustrate contrasting surface properties and landscape features can also appear strange. These challenges make radar data well-suited for AI-assisted analysis, helping identify features that may otherwise go unnoticed.
By combining the cloud-penetrating capabilities of radar with the fidelity (准确度) of visual images, Nava hopes to build an AI-powered model that can accurately spot landslides even in poor weather conditions. His trial following the 2024 Taiwan earthquake showed promise, detecting thousands of landslides that would otherwise go unnoticed beneath cloud cover. But Nava acknowledges that there is still more work needed, both to improve the model’s accuracy and its transparency (透明度).
He wants to build trust in the model and ensure its outputs are interpretable and actionable by decision-makers. “Very often, the decision-makers are not the ones who developed the algorithm (算法),” said Nava. “AI can feel like a black box. Its internal logic is not always transparent, and that can make people hesitant to act on its outputs.”
24. What is the key value of Nava’s AI method
A．Ability to predict earthquakes.
B．Low cost compared to new satellites.
C．Potential to replace human responders.
D．Efficiency in processing vast amounts of data.
25. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．A detailed description of how satellites operate.
B．The advantages of visual images over radar data.
C．The reasons why AI is needed to interpret radar data.
D．The history of using satellites for landslide detection.
26. What can we know about Nava’s AI-powered model from paragraph 5
A．It is still in development.
B．It has been used just once.
C．It is an alternative of satellite images.
D．Its significance has been underestimated.
27. What do Nava’s words imply
A．The model’s performance is not satisfactory.
B．Developers should have more trust in the model.
C．Decision-makers refuse to understand AI’s internal logic.
D．The gap between developers and users needs to be bridged.
C
Construction materials such as concrete and plastic have the potential to lock away billions of tons of carbon dioxide, according to a new study by civil engineers and earth systems scientists at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) and Stanford University. The study shows that combined with steps to decarbonize (脱去……的碳) the economy, storing CO in buildings could help the world achieve goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The goal of carbon sequestration is to take carbon dioxide, either from where it is being produced or from the atmosphere, change it into a stable form and store it away from the atmosphere where it cannot contribute to climate change. Proposed schemes have involved, for example, injecting carbon underground or storing it in the deep ocean. These approaches pose both practical challenges and environmental risks.
What if, instead, we can leverage materials that we already produce in large quantities to store carbon " said Van Roijen, who led the study as a graduate student at UC Davis.
Researchers found that while bio-based plastics could take up the largest amount of carbon by weight, by far the largest potential for carbon storage is in using carbonated aggregates (碳化骨料) to make concrete. That’s because concrete is by far the world’s most popular building material: Over 20 billion tons are produced every year.
“If feasible, a little bit of storage in concrete could go a long way,” said Sabbie Miller, associate professor at UC Davis. The team calculated that if 10% of the world’s concrete aggregate production was carbonatable, it could absorb a gigaton (十亿吨) of CO .
“The feedstocks for these new processes for making building materials are mostly low-value waste materials such as biomass,” Van Roijen said. “Performing these new processes would enhance their value, boosting economic development and promoting a circular economy.”
“Some technology development is needed, particularly in cases where material performance and net-storage potential of individual manufacturing methods must be confirmed. However, many of these technologies are just waiting to be adopted,” Sabbie Miller said.
28. What does the underlined word “sequestration” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Separation.
B．Collection.
C．Reduction.
D．Production.
29. What makes concrete a better option for carbon storage
A．Its low price.
B．Its heavy weight.
C．Its common use.
D．Its special function.
30. What benefit does using new building material processes bring
A．Lower material costs.
B．Increasing the value of waste.
C．Higher concrete production.
D．No need for technology development.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Concrete and Plastic: the Emerging Stars of Carbon Storage.
B．Innovations in Building Materials: Towards Net Zero Carbon.
C．Decarbonisation Technologies: Challenges and Opportunities.
D．New Building Materials: the Potential and Prospects of Carbon Storage.

A journey to Italy is set to become even more expensive. Last summer, the country introduced a proposal to raise the tourist tax. Currently, many Italian cities charge taxes of up to 5 euros on an overnight stay. The new plan introduces a tiered (阶梯式的) system: 5 euros per night for economy rooms under 100 euros, 10 euros for standard rooms priced between 100 and 400 euros, 15 euros for high-end rooms ranging from400 to 750 euros and 25 euros for luxury accommodations above 750 euros.
Italy, with its rich cultural heritage and amazing coastlines, has always been a top spot for tourists. However, the increasing number of visitors is becoming overwhelming. According to the World Tourism Organization, Italy welcomed 57.2 million foreign tourists in 2023, which has led to several issues. Fortune Magazine reported loud noise, crowded spaces, important shops being replaced by souvenir stalls and rising rents driven by apartments being changed into short-term rentals (出租房).
The suggested tax aims to tackle the challenges posed by overtourism. However, some tourists are opposed to the high tax. “Increasing the tax would be profiteering (牟取暴利). I would go elsewhere, to other countries that don’t have such a tax,” Fabea Wiegand from Switzerland told Fortune Magazine.
While introducing a tourist tax is a method used by many countries to manage tourist numbers, it is essential not to take it to extremes. The Economist emphasizes the crucial role policymakers play in determining the level of tourism tax. It is important to set a tax that is affordable for most tourists. For instance, Venice charges a day pass of only 5 euros. Despite its small amount, this fee can contribute to enhancing local services such as waste management and heritage preservation, benefiting both residents and visitors.
Even though high tax may prevent some tourists from going to certain destinations, tourism tax is “not a cause for despair” for countries, said The Economist. If tourists choose other destinations due to the tax, lesser-known areas could seize the chance to attract visitors. Meanwhile, popular destinations could adapt by promoting more affordable choices to tourists, striking a balance between locals’ and visitors’ needs and promoting sustainable tourism.
32. What does the underlined word “overwhelming” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Enormous.
B．Powerful.
C．Frightening.
D．Confusing.
33. Why did Italy consider introducing a higher tax
A．To keep visitors from visiting Italy.
B．To increase the profits from tourism.
C．To deal with problems caused by overtourism.
D．To reduce unfair competition in the tourism industry.
34. What was Fabea Wiegand’s attitude toward raising the tourist tax
A．Objective.
B．Disapproving.
C．Sympathetic.
D．Indifferent.
35. What does The Economist think about the tourist tax
A．It may negatively affect local services.
B．It will be harmful to sustainable tourism.
C．It will reduce the inflow of foreign visitors.
D．It may be beneficial to less popular destinations.

Long-distance flights can feel never-ending, particularly if you don’t get any sleep. Counting down the hours or minutes until you can finally get some relief off the plane becomes an obsession (执念). And, even if you do manage to get some rest, sitting upright can harm your neck and back. ____36____ Here are some tips to help you sleep better on airplanes.
____37____ Colin Espie, a sleep expert, says you shouldn’t try to force yourself to sleep. Even though it may seem against common sense, it’s important to try and let yourself fall asleep naturally. Sleep is a natural biological process, and it is much easier to let your body naturally take over.
Choose your seat carefully. If you get the chance to select your own seat, Espie says you should be choosy when it comes to where you sit. Specifically, try to secure a seat away from busy areas on the plane, such as near the service areas where flight attendants may move around at all hours. ____38____
Choose your in-flight refreshments wisely. Many frequent flyers like to bring travel snacks along, especially on long flights. However, snacks with sugar and substances like caffeine, chocolate and alcohol can all affect sleep. ____39____ However, alcohol can have a negative effect on sleep, even if it helps with the onset of sleep.
____40____ If you come prepared in the right mindset and with the right tools, catching some Zs in the air may be easier than you think.
A．Keep the same sleeping schedule.
B．Arrive well-rested and don’t try to force it.
C．Frequent travelers agree sleeping upright is no easy task.
D．You should also try to select seats with extra legroom if you can.
E．Alcohol may help you fall asleep initially, which can be confusing.
F．You can use various online tools to track changes in seat availability.
G．In short, sleeping on a plane doesn’t have to be as bad as it may seem.

67. 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。
When k over Class 8 as the new head teacher at the start of the semester, she was determined to build a tidy and united class. After noticing the messy classroom — crumpled (皱的) papers on the floor, unwashed blackboards, and dusty windows — she spent a whole evening designing a detailed cleaning schedule. Every student had a specific task: ranging from wiping the blackboard after each class, emptying the trash bins (垃圾桶) twice a day, to arranging desks or sweeping the corner.
However, n found her well-planned schedule ineffective. On the first day, only three students completed their tasks. Most others either forgot or simply ignored their duties. The classroom remained as messy as before, with food wrappers gathering up in the corners and chalk dust covering the desks. Joyce gathered the class and emphasized the importance of keeping the classroom clean together. “A tidy environment is not just for appearance,” she said seriously. “It helps us focus better on studies and keeps us healthy.” But her words seemed to fall on deaf ears. The next day, the situation didn’t improve much.
In desperation, Joyce tried punishing the students who failed to finish their tasks — those who skipped their tasks had to clean the entire classroom alone. At first, a few students were scared and did their jobs. But soon, dissatisfaction grew. Some students deliberately made more mess, and the classroom became even worse than before. Joyce felt frustrated. She knew punishment wasn’t the right way.
One night, as she was preparing homework for the students, an idea suddenly popped into her head. What if she used rewards instead of punishment The next morning, Joyce announced a new rule to the class: “The three most active students in cleaning the classroom will be rewarded with small gifts like candies or stickers that day.” As soon as she finished speaking, the whole class discussed heatedly.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The first day of the new rule was full of surprises.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As days went by, students no longer required rewards.

Dear Jim,
I’m glad to give you some advice on your proposal for the UN activity.
I suggest you put forward a proposal about reducing food waste. Food waste is a serious global problem, which wastes resources and worsens hunger. Besides, food rotting produces greenhouse gases, speeding up global warming.
We can call on schools and families to take practical steps, such as buying proper amounts of food and sorting leftover food for recycling. This proposal is practical and related to everyone’s daily life.
Wish you good luck!
Yours,
Li Hua

The first day of the new rule was full of surprises. As soon as class was over, students rushed to take cleaning tools actively. Some swept the floor carefully, others wiped windows and blackboards, and a few tidied desks and took out rubbish. Nobody avoided their tasks as before. The classroom soon became clean and bright. At dusk, Joyce picked out three hard-working kids and handed them small gifts. Their bright smiles spread warmth to every classmate.
As days went by, students no longer required rewards. They gradually realized that a tidy classroom benefited everyone’s study and mood. Cleaning became a voluntary habit instead of a task for prizes. They took turns to keep the room neat without being reminded. The whole class became united and responsible, and Joyce finally achieved her goal of building a warm, tidy class without any punishment.
