I hope you will join us to develop the project.The idea struck me in early 2017.We were
sitting in our class when our head teacher announced.“There’11 be a new boy starting school
tomorrow.He comes from the circus so he’11 be with us for a while.” Immediately I heard
remarks like“Those are dirty people”;“They eat raw meat”;and“Watch out your bags”.The
teacher must have heard them and said in a very serious voice,“Jake is our guest.Make sure you
treat him well.”
It was the first time I had met anyone from a circus.Fortunately he sat in the only spare seat
next to me.Of course I didn’t want to mind others’ business,but I couldn’t help looking at him
sideways.I noticed Jake was smaller than me and had dirty finger nails.His shirt was clean but
had been repaired in many places and his trousers were held up by a wide,leather belt.As he
was sniffing loudly , I passed him my handkerchief . Immediately the boys began to
whisper“Leave him be!”From my left a slight movement showed that Jake must have heard the
remarks too.He seemed to be having great difficulty with his maths work and was struggling to
hold his pen correctly.He looked around as if for help.I looked around too.The teacher was
busy so I offered to explain the problems to him.As he listened he smiled.His eyes lit up and he returned to the exercises with enthusiasm.He finished them quickly and proudly presented them
to the teacher.“Well done,Jake”, she approved.Jake smiled.
I thought about how Jake’s life would be.I remembered seeing the campsite and thinking
how poor the facilities were.So I decided to help.As it was my turn to suggest a project for our
grade.I put forward this idea.Our head teacher accepted it and so we began to prepare our plans
to improve the campsite.Hope you will join us.

The world’s insects are going down the path of extinction , threatening a“catastrophic
collapse of nature’s ecosystems”,according to the first global scientific review.More than 40%
of insect species are declining and third are endangered , the analysis found . The rate of
extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals,birds and reptiles.
“It should be of huge concern to all of us,for insects are at the heart of every food web.山
东省中学联盟 They pollinate(授粉)the large majority of plant species,keep the soil healthy,
recycle nutrients,control pests,and much more.Love them or 1oathe them,we humans cannot survive without insects,”said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK.
The analysis , published in the journal Biological Conservation , says intensive( 集 约
型 )agriculture is the main driver of the declines , particularly the heavy use of
pesticides.Urbanisation and climate change are also significant factors.
“If insect species losses cannot be stopped,this will have catastrophic consequences for
both the planet’s ecosystems and for the survival of mankind.It is very rapid.In 10 years you
will have a quarter less,in 50 years only half left and in 100 years you will have none,”said
review author Francisco Sánchez-Bayo,at the University of Sydney,Australia.
One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on many birds,reptiles,amphibians and fish that
eat insects.“If this food source is taken away,all these animals starve to death,”he said.Such
effects have already been seen in Puerto Rico , where a recent study revealed a 98 % fall in
ground insects over 35 years.
Matt Shardlow,at the conservation charity Buglife,said:“It is thoughtful to see this
evidence that shows the pitiful state of the world’s insect populations.It is increasingly obvious
that the planet’s ecology is breaking and there is a need for a strong and global effort to prevent
and change these terrible trends.”
8.Why are people worried about the insect decline?
A.They are vital to ecosystems. B.They provide food for pests.
C.They pollinate all plants. D.They enrich the soil.
9.What is the main cause of insect losses?
A.More and more trees. B.Restrictions on pesticides.
C.Upgrading agriculture. D.Friendly environment.
10.Where can you find the exact time of insect losses?
A.In paragraph 1. B.In paragraph 2.
C.In paragraph 3. D.In paragraph 4.
11.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Humans can survive the punishment of nature
B.Insect declining is breaking nature’s ecosystems
C.Nature’s ecosystems are influenced by humans
D.Insects and animals are dying out in Puerto Rico

Researchers from the Water, Peace and Security partnership (WPS) have announced the
creation of a global forecasting tool that can predict where conflicts arising from water insecurity are most likely to break out. The system uses artificial intelligence to create patterns from a wide
rage of geographical and socio-economic data and can identify potential conflict hotspots up to a
year in advance.
Susan Schme, a senior lecturer at Delft Institute for Water Education, which leads the WPS,
explains predicting these types of conflicts isn’t as simple as it might first appear. It isn’t simply
a case of conflicts increasing every time a water security incident occurs. Several regional and
cultural factors also play a part, making prediction difficult.
The researchers test-ran the AI tool in Mali. They found that it predicted more than
three-quarters of the water-related conflicts there. To achieve this, the system is fed with a
variety of data. “First there’s the natural side of things—so rainfall data, soil moisture and many
other natural factors,” explains Schme. This enables it to identify areas where availability of
water is likely to become a concern.
“Then we also look at vulnerability in terms of socio-economic and political developments
— anything from a regime type to the state of development in a region,” she adds. This
additional information is weighed up to determine whether it increases or decreases the chance
of conflict. Other factors might include whether the water insecurity is likely to affect crops.
The tool is just one part of a wider WPS project that aims to increase the availability of
information which could help avoid water-related conflicts. Once artificial intelligence has made
its predictions the WPS researchers use other analytical tools to zoom-in on a certain region and
find out exactly what’s driving water insecurity. This might be decreased rainfall, increased
population, or water might be being diverted away from a community.
The designers are now undergoing final tests of the new AI tool to make sure it’s ready for
a November launch date. Once widely available, Schme hopes that it will be used by local
governments and also by international organizations with an interest in maintaining global
stability.
12. What is the function of the tool?
A. Collecting all kinds of data.
B. Predicting conflict hotspots.
C. Ensuring security of water.D. Stopping breakout of water pipe.
13. How did the AI tool work in Mali?
A. The government discourages it.
B. More improvement is needed.
C. It works quite effectively.
D. It attracts public attention.
14. What is related to the water-related conflicts in Mali?
A. Its climate. B. Its lifestyle.
C. Its agriculture. D. Its population.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. People’s attitude to the AI tool.
B. Study process of the AI tool.
C. Designers of the AI tool.
D. The future of the AI tool.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
续写的词数应为 150 左右。An urgent call came into Jim Green’s bar this past March. A newly married woman who
had spent the afternoon at the beach bar, couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care about her ID,
credit cards, or $150 in cash — but her wedding ring was inside.
Jim, 42, didn’t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place. So he set out to
find the wallet. He spent hours checking the video tapes from 16 different surveillance cameras
(监控摄像机), watching the woman’s every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench
outside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man approached the bench,
quickly put something in his pocket, and walked off. Jim posted a clip on the bar’s Facebook
page. “I just asked if anybody knew who the guy was,” Jim said.
Within hours, Jim got a text from 17-year-old Peter. Peter admitted to having taken the
wallet and told Jim he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but
thought it was fake, so he took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks into the
ocean. Then he bought a sandwich.
Jim, unsure whether he believed Peter, told the teen to meet him at the docks. There, they
got to talking, and Peter revealed that he wasn’t getting along with his family and had been
living in the woods for a week. Jim, a father of two, looked closely at Peter — his small height,
his ruddy cheeks — and saw him for what he was: more of a kid than a criminal.
But the risks were high. The police were already on the case, and because of the missing
ring, Peter could be facing a serious crime charge. “I had to help him somehow,” Jim says.
The police wanted Jim to bring the teen down to the station. Instead, Jim called the police
and told them, “He’s going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.”
Paragraph 1
Jim hired two local divers to search the waters where Peter had thrown the wallet.
Paragraph 2
And then a diver popped up.

Jim hired two local divers to search the waters where Peter had thrown the wallet. A
detective was waiting for them there. A crowd had gathered to watch the two divers search in
the strong current. More than an hour passed, with no sign of the ring. Jim grew worried,
especially when the detective began questioning Peter, trying to get him to admit keeping the
ring.
Paragraph 2
And then a diver popped up. In his hand was the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers
broke out in the crowd. When Jim called the wallet’s owner, she burst into tears. She promptly
dropped the charge against Peter for stealing the ring. But it wasn’t over for Jim. He’d been
troubled about Peter sleeping in the cold woods. Jim knew his home was big enough to give
Peter a place to live in for a while. He told the teen he could stay with his family until the boy
got on his feet again.
