8、heir very first group scream. Jessica Kline, the publisher of Macaroni KID Clifton-Montclair, organized the mom screaming event in her community. Two years of a pandemic, burdened with the stresses of childcare and school disruptions (中断), have left many parents drained. A new CBS News poll finds ne
9、arly half of parents report feeling exhausted or frustrated. Kline told correspondent Meg Oliver that over the last two years, shes often felt overwhelmed and isolated. When the pandemic started, she had three children under the age of six at home. “My house felt narrow；I felt like the walls were ca
10、ving in on me,” she said. “And I just felt like there was no place to go.”As the women gathered and screamed on this day in Verona Park, in Verona, N.J, caved emotions poured out. They got a great sense of relief. “I love my kids dearly, but it is nice to just be able to go and be in a community of
11、moms.” One woman laughed. Psychologist Lisa Damour, a CBS News contributor, said these screaming events can be a healthy way to express and release emotion. “It offers relief. Its important to talk about the uglier sides of parenthood, to make parents feel less alone and ashamed.”Kline hopes this is
12、 just the beginning of mom gatherings in her community. She said, “I hope that moms walked away with a sense of self-care, even if its just for a little bit, and a positive memory that they can bring with them after this entire chaos.”21Why did the moms join in the screaming event?ATo, exchange thei
13、r parenting skills.BTo keep themselves from loneliness.CTo seek help from a psychologist.DTo let out their negative emotions.22Which may be a quote from the screaming moms?A“I feel so guilty for being a full time mother.”B“Keeping my kids entertained throughout the day is fun.”C“I just work, and my

15、grateful for this opportunity.Every morning at five oclock, composer (作曲家) Walter Werzowa would sit down at his computer waiting for a particular daily e-mail. It came from a team that had been working all night to draft Beethovens unfinished 10th Symphony. The e-mail contained hundreds of versions,
16、 and Werzowa listened to them all, looking for the perfect tunea sound that was unmistakably Beethoven. But the phrases he was listening to werent composed by Beethoven. They were created by artificial intelligence.When Ludwig van Beethoven died in 1827, he left behind some musical drafts and notes.
17、 There was barely enough to make out a phrase, let alone a whole symphony. But that didnt stop people from trying.Werzowa and a group of music experts and computer scientists teamed up to use machine learning to create the symphony. Ahmed Elgammal led the AI side of the team. The teams first task wa
18、s to teach the AI to think like Beethoven. To do that, they gave it Beethovens complete works, his drafts and notes. They taught it Beethovens processlike how he went from four notes to his entire Fifth Symphony. Then they taught it to compose a bridge between two sections. With all that knowledge,
19、the AI came as close to thinking like Beethoven as possible. But it still wasnt enough. The AI doesnt really produce something that can continue for a long time and be consistent. So the team had to put the selected pieces together to build a symphony.Matthew Guzdial researches creativity (创造力) and
20、machine learning at the University of Alberta. He didnt work on the Beethoven project, but he says, “Modern AI, modern machine learning, is all about just copying small local patterns. And its up to a human to then take what the AI outputs and find the genius (天资). The genius wasnt in the AI. The ge
21、nius was in the human who was doing the selection.”24How did Walter Werzowa contribute to the Beethoven project?AHe trained the AI to think like a human.BHe replied to daily e-mails every morning.CHe selected the best tune created by the AI.DHe drafted Beethovens unfinished symphony.25What was the m
22、ajor challenge the team met?AThe AI was far from thinking like Beethoven.BIt was hard to put pieces together to build a symphony.CThe AI couldnt create a long and consistent piece of music.DThere were not enough complete works for machine learning.26Which of the following would Matthew Guzdial most
23、probably agree with?AAl is likely to be a barrier to creativity.BThe potential of AI is being brought out.CThe value of AI shouldnt be overlooked.DAI cant totally replace the role of humans.On June 7, 1195, a fiery spinning ball emerged from a dark cloud in the sunny sky close to the London city. An
24、 account of this extraordinary moment survives in a chronicle (编年史) between about 1180 and 1199 by Gervase. It would appear that this is the first credible record of ball lightning in England, and much more convincing than the earliest European description, which was believed to be from the 17th cen
25、tury.Historians discovered the account of what appears to be ball lightning while exploring Gervases records of natural events in his chronicle, a treasure of historical details giving insights into medieval culture. They dug through hundreds of pages in Latin and came across this sighting. Gervases
26、 records of natural events appear within the historical narrative, often with no opening statement, and the account of ball lightning is sandwiched between the events of the changing of kings at that time.No attempt is made to explain the “marvellous sign” in the sky seen near London. Readers are le
27、ft to draw their own conclusions. But Gervase appears to have been a sharp-eyed observer and reporter of celestial (天空的) activity. His fanciful description of ball lightning is remarkably similar to modern reports.For a long time, ball lightning was regarded with skepticism. Although it is now gener
28、ally accepted as a genuine phenomenon with thousands of reported sightings, there is still no accepted scientific explanation of its origin. Understanding the phenomenon has been blocked by an inability to reproduce the effect convincingly in the lab and partly because of the variations in eyewitnes
29、s reports. Whatever the case, centuries later, Gervases record makes stimulating reading for modern scientists as well as historians.27Whats special about the account of ball lightning by Gervase?AIts the most confusing version.BIts written in different languages.CIts the earliest acknowledged recor
