How do you pick which route to walk, and how do you feel about the one you dont choose? These are key themes in Robert Frosts famous 1915 poem, The Road Not Taken.Frost

16、 was born in San Francisco in 1874, and is remembered as one of the greatest American poets. His poems explore things like morality and self-discovery, as well as nature and rural life. However, The Road Not Taken was actually written as a joke about another poet, Edward Thomas. Frost lived for a pe

17、riod in England, where he became friends with Thomas. The two would take long walks in the countryside together, and Thomas often had trouble choosing which way to go.When Frost read the poem to a group of college students, they took it seriously, unaware of its playful origins. Of course, Frost did

18、 say to them, “Im never more serious than when joking.”The poets choices can act as an extended metaphor (隐喻) for the choices we all have to make in life. In the poem, the poet talks about regretting that they cant take both paths - just as choosing one path in life often means other options become

19、impossible. In the end, the poet chooses the road that looks “less traveled by”, which many readers take as making the poem contain more about individualism too - doing things your own way, not as everyone else does.The poem became more serious thanks to World War I. Frost left England to avoid the

20、war, but Thomas couldnt decide whether to stay and fight or to follow Frost to America. In 1915, Frost sent the poem to Thomas. And while it wasnt the only reason Thomas finally decided to fight in the war, he felt it was making fun of his indecision.24What inspired Frost to write the poem The Road

21、Not Taken?AThe countryside life.BOne of his friends.CHis difficulty in making choices.DHis eagerness for self-discovery.25What did Frosts words “Im never more serious than when joking” suggest?AThe poem contained some hidden meanings.BThe poem was not meant to be taken seriously.CHe did not regard h

22、is own writing as important.DHe put lots of efforts into the creation of the poem.26How do many readers interpret the poets choice of the road?AA way of displaying individualism.BA representation of lifes unavoidable challenges.CA piece of advice about following others choices.DAn expression of regr

23、et for not taking the other path.27What lesson can be learned from the story behind The Road Not Taken?AHumor has no place in the serious works of literature.BIt is important to think over something said by poets.CEven good friends can finally take separate paths.DEven the most playful creation can

24、become something significant.Scientists have for the first time discovered a cave (洞穴) on the Moon. At least 100m deep, it could be a great place for humans to build a base that will continue forever. Moreover, it is just one in probably hundreds of caves hidden in an “underground, undiscovered worl

25、d”, according to the researchers.Helen Sharman, the first British astronaut to travel to space, said that the newly discovered cave looked like a good place for a base, and suggested humans could potentially be living in lunar pits (坑) in 2030 years. But this cave is so deep that astronauts might ha

26、ve to get in and out with special equipment, she added.Lorenzo Bruzzone and Leonardo Carrer at the University of Trento in Italy found their evidence in data from NASAs Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). Using new processing techniques, the team reanalyzed the data and they spotted radar (雷达) refle

27、ctions. “The most likely explanation for our observations is an empty space,” said Leonardo Carrer. And while this is the first of its kind that the team has uncovered, there are likely many more.The cave can be seen by human eyes from Earth, and is also where Apollo 11 landed in 1969. “Its really e

28、xhilarating. When you make these discoveries and you look at these images, you realize youre the first person in history to see it,” Prof Carrer said.Scientists first realized there were probably caves on the Moon around 50 years ago. Then in2010 a camera on LRO took pictures of pits that scientists

29、 thought could be cave entrances. But the researchers did not know how deep the caves might be, or if they would have collapsed. Prof Bruzzone and Prof Carrers work has now answered that question, although there is much more to be done to learn about the cave thoroughly.The cave might be useful to h

30、umans, but the scientists also stress that it could help answer some questions about the history of the Moon, and even our solar system. The rocks inside the cave will not be damaged or eroded (侵蚀) by space weather, so they can provide a good deal of geologic evidence going back billions of years.28

31、What is the significance of the newly discovered cave?AIt is the first cave ever discovered in space.BIt is deep enough for the astronauts to store equipment.CIt provides a potential location for a long-term human base.DIt offers direct access to the Moons core for scientific study.29How did the res

32、earchers make the discovery?ABy studying previous data.BBy making assumptions and proving them.CBy exploring the Moon with advanced technology.DBy continually observing the Moon for a long period.30What does the underlined word “exhilarating” in paragraph 4 mean?AHeartwarming.BPainstaking.CExciting.

33、DConfusing.31Why are the rocks in the cave of great scientific value?AThey contain elements that cant be found on Earth.BThey are free from the impacts of space weather.CThey witness weather changes on the Moon.DThey show the history of space.An artificial intelligence (AI) lawyer has almost made hi

34、story as the first AI to defend a case in court.

35、bile phone and delivered tips through headphones to the defendant, who had agreed to only say what he was told to. The landmark case was planned as a test for DoNotPays services and they would pay for any fines incurred if the AI failed to win the case for the defendant.While it may sound like the f

36、uture of court hearings, theres a disadvantage - mobile phones and headphones are generally not allowed in courtrooms. However, according to the companys founder Joshua Browder, the hearing would take place in a location that would consider the headphones a “hearing aid”, thus allowing the AI.With t

37、he aim of helping customers get out of paying fines and late fees, as well as saving the costs of hiring a human lawyer, DoNotPay was founded in 2015 and has since moved to Al following rapid advancements in technology that have occurred in the form of OpenAIs GPT-3.

However, this is the first time an AI robot has become a lawyer in the courtroom.In October 2022, an AI robot made history by being the first to give evidence in the

39、House of Lords. This groundbreaking moment served as a significant mark in the march of AI into our lives, playing increasingly diverse and influential roles.
