8、iddle School. The school provides AI classes to both junior and senior high school students. Apart from compulsory (必修的) courses that teach basic knowledge, there are also optional (选修的) courses if students want to learn more.“This semester in our compulsory class, we have learned coding (编程) throug

9、h a programming language called Python,” said Zhang. Using Python to code is a basic skill for training AI models. In recent years, Python has been tested in high school graduation exams (高中会考) in places like Beijing, Jiangsu and Anhui.In fact, having AI education in schools has become a growing tre

For example, Iraqi-British architect (建筑师) Zaha Hadid, the designer of the Beijing Daxing International Airport, was known

16、as the “Queen of the Curve (曲线)”. But unlike them, British architect David Chipperfield is famous for not having a certain style.For more than 40 years, Chipperfield has worked across different building types in different cities.

17、ng the cities and local cultures has never changed.On March 7, Chipperfield was named the winner of the 2023 Pritzker Architecture Prize. Thats the highest honor in architecture. The Pritzker jury (评委会) wrote, “We do not see an instantly recognizable David Chipperfield building in different cities,

18、but different David Chipperfield buildings designed specifically for each circumstance (情况).”When designing, Chipperfield often looks into local architectural traditions.

24、e museum houses a collection of ancient findings from Liangzhu culture, also known as Jade culture (3000 BC). Chipperfield designed the museum with the concept of “a handful of jade cones scattered on the ground” (“散落地面的一把玉锥”). The building is made up of four long buildings and is called “the box fo

25、r collecting treasures” (“收藏珍宝的盒子”). The outside walls of the buildings are all made of yellow stone, which looks like jade from a distance (远处).1. What is David Chipperfields style? A.

29、 their bodies. In the past, surgeons practiced on animals and fruit. But today, 3D printing is changing how surgeons learn.Recently, a research team from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has created 3D printed organs (器官), including the brain, lungs (肺) an

30、d intestines (肠). They used hydrogel (水凝胶), a soft material as the “ink” for printing.People found it hard to print the complex structures inside human organs before. Its also hard to control the organs hardness (硬度). But the team has made breakthroughs in these two aspects. The printed organs are v

31、ery close to real organs.Human organs have different textures (质地), with our brains being the softest. The team added special elements (元素) to the hydrogel to create different textures for each organ. They also printed tiny holes and channels (通道) inside the organs. This will help medical students l

32、earn better. Compared to live organs and animal organs, they are also cheaper and more ethically (伦理上) acceptable.Apart from doing research, scientists also hope 3D printed organs can be used in organ transplants (移植). Hydrogel cannot be used to do that because the human body will fight against it.

33、But scientists are looking for other materials that can grow inside the human body. The first and only successful 3D printed organ used for transplant is a bladder (膀胱), as the bladder is one of humans simplest organs. Experts expect that this technology will help more patients within a decade, acco

34、rding to CNN.How much water does each organ contain?1. Hydrogel is compared to _ for 3D printed organs.A. ink B. printers C. paper D. a process2.

35、tures.c. By adding details after the organs are printed.d. By printing the detailed structure of organs.A. ab B. bd C. abc D. bcd3. What could be a benefit of 3D printed organs to patients?A. They could help the risk of organ failure decrease.B. They could greatly increase how long humans live for.C

36、. They could work better than real human organs.D. They could reduce costs for patients.4. What is the future direction for the research team?A. To make 3D printed organs that can grow in the human body.B. To find out which organs are as simple as the bladder.C. To grow new organs from old organs.D.

37、 To print organs that are as detailed aspossible.三、首字母填空Want a cold drink to cool you down in hot weather?
