8、hannon St. Onge when looking at the approach of snow on a weather forecastthat they have time to finish their jobs. As the director of finance at the First Nations University of Canada, she had to drive 25 kilometers from her home to the city of Regina to attend an important meeting. As she was leav
9、ing, the winter snow began to fall. Taking a dirt road for better traction (牵引) on her tires, she quickly became lost, with no ability to see the edge of the road from a rolled-down window. After a while she stopped and called 911. “The operator took my information and told me to wait out the storm
10、as my tank was full and I was warm. I waited almost 14 hours and nobody has called me yet to check in,” she wrote in a Face-book post. “Would the gas tank last until morning? What if I was hit by another vehicle? What if I didnt make it home at all?” St. Onge wondered. Determined to ensure the safes
11、t end, she went out in the storm and discovered her location on a road sign, and then found a neighborhood Facebook group for the area she was passing throughwarning others of her plight through a Google Maps pin. That was when 80-year-old Andre Bouvier Sr., a retired rescuer, got a call about St. O
12、nges situation. He went out to find her, on foot, since he couldnt manage to start his tractor. On the way he found three other stranded (被困) vehicles. He walked the quarter mile there and back, and led the helpless cars one by one to his home. Bouvier let the survivors sleep at his house, where the
13、y ate and laughed, and departed the next morning after he had cleaned the driveway.4Why did St. Onge take a dirt road?AShe was familiar with it.BShe could refuel on the road.CShe took the dirt road to save time.DShe thought dirt road could increase traction.5What did the operator advise St. Onge to

Some would go for an e-book while some still prefer the hard-printed book. Undoubtedly, e-books do have benefits. Firstly
16、, changes to an electronic publication are relatively easy to make. They are quicker to obtain. E-books are more easily updated. The printed books on many subjects can become outdated very quickly. Secondly, e-books can be easily and quickly kept up to date. You usually get far more than just the e-
17、books. Most e-books are sold with bonuses and related information that usually do not come with the purchase of a printed book. Moreover, they take up less space. Instead of a big library, you can fit literally thousands of books on your computer. It also makes it easier to share this information wi
18、th families and friends. For nearly twenty years, additionally, futurists have been predicting the development of printed books. The conventional view has been that digital e-books are on the verge of replacing paper books. However, this has not been the case. A printed book has its advantages too.
19、Firstly, it is an object that can be carried and used alone. It needs no electric outlet (插座), no batteries, nothing. Secondly, e-books will always require some forms of support that the printed book does not need. I believe that the online publishing has not taken off because people want real books
20、. What is being published online more and more are pamphlets (小册子) and things that really do not need to be in print. These are stuff that people throw away afterward. More often, people do not want to read a book on the computer. What could be better than a paper book? It lasts a long time. These b
21、ooks are designed to last a long time without disappearing. To sum up, there is no denying that the printed book is still very much preferred over its digital cousins. Reading electronic publications is just not the same when it comes to books. People are still very interested in real books and note
22、books.8What can we know about an e-book?AIt will never be out of date.BIt always gives you an added bonus.CIt can deliver information quickly.DIt has taken the place of printed books.9Which statement would futurists probably agree with?APrinted books will disappear.BPrinted books can be used alone.C
23、E-books have many restrictions.DE-books have no drawbacks.10What is one cause of the failed online publishing?AThe low demand for book industry.BThe expectations from people.CThe guidance of policy.DThe desire for the printed books.11What does the author think of the future of the printed book?AHope
24、less.BUnpredictable.CCostly.DPromising.Using the power of artificial intelligence (AI), scientists have revealed new insights into the creation and destruction of mass extinction. Contrary to conventional knowledge, their study suggests that larger extinctions are not always a form of “creative dest
25、ruction” that allows new organisms (生物体) to radiate and evolve. Instead, it suggests that mass extinction is rarely associated with new species of radiation. Dr. Hoyal Cuthill, the lead study author from the University of Essex in the UK and the Tokyo Institute of Technology, said in a statement, “S
26、ome of the most challenging things to understand the history of life are the vast timelines involved and the number of species. New machine learning applications can help us understand this information in human-readable form. This means that we can, so to speak, hold the evolution of half a billion
27、years in the palm of our hand and gain new insights from what we see.”They concluded that mass extinction and later radiation were not connected as previously thought. Within 5 percent of the most significant periods of disruption (中断), AI detected “big five” mass extinctions, seven more mass extinc
28、tions, two mass extinction-radiation events, and 15 mass radiations. Most importantly, it discovers that massive radiation and extinction rarely occurred with each other, changing the view that greater extinction leads to a kind of deep cycle-like species radiation of nature. It appears that larger
29、extinctions are certainly not the engine of evolutionary radiation. Take the Cambrian eruption for example and it was about 41 million years ago when a large group of animals first appeared on the record of the first fossil record and the dawn of a high mobile animal equipped with modern physical fe
30、atures. This new study found that a handful of other notable explosions of biodiversity, including the Cambrian eruption, usually occurred at a time when they were largely isolated (隔离) from extinction. Dr. Nicholas Guttenberg, a study co-author from the Tokyo Institute of Technology explained, “Eco
31、systems are dynamic and you dont need anything to exist to allow something new to appear.”12What does the first paragraph serve as?AAn explanation of artificial intelligence.BA background of researchers study.CThe reasons for creative destruction.DThe result of researchers new study.13What can we in
32、fer from Dr. Hoyal Cuthills words?AAI contributes a lot to the study of evolution.BUnderstanding the history of life is very difficult.CNew AI machines learn applications better.DThe result of researchers new study.14What is the researchers discovery?AMass extinction is unlikely to cause evolutionar
33、y radiation.BThe first animal with modern features occurred during eruption.CThe volcanic eruption led to a mass extinction and radiation.DThe idea of deep cycle-like species radiation has turned out true.15What is the text mainly about?ANew processes of biological evolution.BNew view of radiation f
