15、nt age groups.Morgan Ridler, a two-year-old boy from Welsh, was diagnosed (诊断) with adrenocortical carcinoma last year. He had to leave his home in Swansea to suffer a risky operation (手术) in Birmingham because the doctors there “were the only ones willing to take it on with such low survival rateso
16、nly a 10 percent chance of survival. When a student nurse heard his Welsh-speaking mother comforting him in their native language she decided to make sure Morgan would not feel frightened when his family were away during the nights. She wrote a series of comforting Welsh words on Morgans bedside not
17、es, including their phonetic (语音的) spelling, to make sure all the doctors and nurses treating him could comfort their young patient if needed. The words included, “Youre OK” and “Youre safe”.

Now a company in Abu Dhabi has found a way to grow them in the middle of the desert.Below Farm is producing special mushrooms. Co-founder Bronte Weir says the indoor farm, about 45 minu
24、tes drive from downtown Abu Dhabi, is the first in the region to grow and sell high-end mushrooms. Below Farms offerings are better than imported mushrooms, she says, because mushrooms lose their freshness quickly.Weir co-founded the company in 2021, in cooperation with Liliana Slowinska and Wojciec
25、h Slowinski. They mainly sell the mushrooms to restaurants and stores. Also, they sell mushrooms directly to customers.Weir says that existing indoor mushroom-growing technology, developed mainly in Europe and the United States, isnt designed for Abu Dhabis high daytime temperatures, which can top 4
26、0 degrees Celsius in summer.Wojciech Slowinski took the lead in developing a solution. The farm consists of four special chambers (室) covered in a foot-deep layer of insulation (隔热材料) to help keep the space cool. “We can create the right conditions for each type of mushroom,” says Weir. Maintaining
27、higher air pressure inside the rooms helps to protect the crops from Abu Dhabis winds and dust.Raj Dagstan, who runs a restaurant, is a fan of Below Farm. “The best-tasting pizza on the menu is the mushroom,” says Dagstani, adding that he created the dish after he tried out Below Farms mushrooms. He
28、 now orders 20 kilograms of mushrooms a week from the company. According to market intelligence experts, the global mushroom market grew by over 9% last year and continues to expand, partly due to the popularity of plant-based diets.28Where does Below Farm probably lie?AIn uptown Abu Dhabi.BIn the c
29、enter of Abu Dhabi.CIn a dark deep forest.DIn the grassland of the desert.29What does Bronte Weir do?AA partner in Below Farm.BA founder of Abu Dhabi.CA manager of a restaurant.DA scientist in farming.30What can we learn about the new indoor mushroom-growing technology?AIt provides fresh air inside
30、the rooms.BIt helps to keep the heat out of the chambers.CIt offers a new way to keep mushrooms fresh.DIt promotes the development of mushroom varieties.31What can be inferred from Raj Dagstanis words?APlant-based diets becomes more popular.BHis restaurant sells the best-tasting pizza.CThe global mu
31、shroom market is promising.DThe Below Farms mushrooms are of high quality.An experiment involving hundreds of office workers has found that artificial intelligence (AI) tools can greatly help but also hurt worker performance.AI tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popul
32、arity over the past year. Such tools are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work.This year, researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment. It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their
33、 usual duties, or tasks. It involved more than 700 business advisors, called consultants (顾问), from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group. Harvard Business School recently published results from the experiment in a “working paper”. The main findings suggest that AI tools can greatly improve wo
34、rker performance. For example, researchers found that, on average, workers who used AI tools completed 12 percent more tasks than the users that handled the assigned (分配的) tasks on their own. Tasks carried out with help from the AI technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the
35、quality of work performed by consultants using AI technology increased about 40 percent.However, the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using AI technology dipped. Of tasks the AI was good at, the experiment showed it “significantly improved human performance,” the paper sai
36、d. But for tasks the AI was not right for, “humans relied too much on the AI, and were more likely to make mistakes.” The researchers reported that consultants who used AI for tasks it was not well equipped for “were 19 percent less likely to produce correct solutions compared to those without AI.”T
37、he team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts to find the right mix of AI and human work.32What is peo
38、ples attitude towards AI tools nowadays?ACurious.BAnxious.CPositive.DDoubtful.33What is paragraph 4 mainly about?AThe total results of the experiment.BAI technology taking the place of humans.CThe speed and quality of the task completion.DAI tools greatly improving worker performance.34What does the
39、 underlined word “dipped” in paragraph 5 mean?AImproved.BDropped.CChanged.DDisappeared.35What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?AAI and human work can be better combined.BAI technology will be a barrier to companies.CBusinesses will benefit more from AI tools.DHumans should develop
40、new versions of AL.Higher levels of optimism (乐观主义) are related lo a longer lifetime. People with the highest levels of optimism have 11 % to 15% longer lifetime than those who practice little positive thinking.

Theres a direct
42、connection between optimists and healthier diet and exercise behaviors, as well as a stronger immune (免疫) system and better lung function.Optimism can be improved by training.

43、 be more positive. One of the most effective ways to increase optimism is called the “Best Possible Self” method.

44、positive experiences you experienced that day.Its not easy to carry out optimism exercises. Like exercise, they will need to be practiced regularly to keep the brain positive. 40 . But isnt a longer, happier, more positive life worth the effort?AIt may also lengthen your life.BThe rest is up to your
45、 attitude to life.CBeing optimistic also improves your health.DThe optimism exercises may be a hard process.EThe focus on the positive can reshape your brain.FPracticing this daily can significantly improve your positive feelings.GThey are more likely to see the barrier as a good chance to turn posi
