18、oliday time every year plus public (公共的) holidays (also called “bank holidays”).When?Most British workers take a two-week holiday in July or August. School children are on holiday from the end of July to the start of September. Taking a second holiday break in winter or spring is also becoming more

19、popular in the UK.Where?The most popular holiday destinations for Brits include Spain, France, Greece and the US. Lots of people buy a package holiday that includes flights and a hotel or an apartment (公寓). Cheap overseas flights mean that many British people are able to spend two weeks a year vacat

20、ioning abroad. Flights and package holidays are much cheaper during school terms and the British government is worried that some young people are skipping school (逃课) to go on holiday. Parents who take their child on vacation during term time must now pay a fine (罚款).British people also like to go o

21、n holiday in the UK. They might go to England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales, In Cornwall (康沃尔), for example, there is an environmental project called the Eden Project.

26、in many countries, quickly finding people who have the virus is very important. But COVID-19 is not easy to detect. Many people who catch the virus clearly show signs of being ill, like having a fever or coughing. But many others show no signs at all. These people are “asymptomatic” and they can sti

27、ll pass the virus to others. Now, scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a famous American college, have developed a method which can quickly detect whether a person has COVID-19 or not just from the way he or she coughs or speaks. The scientists turned to an AI method known as “deep

28、 learning”. In deep learning, computer programs collected a lot of information, analyzed（分析）it and built certain models. The information here was tens of thousands of recordings of coughing and speaking from people who had caught the virus. When the scientists tested their AI models, they found that

29、 they could detect 98.5% of the people who caught the virus, including 100% of the asymptomatic people.Brian Subirana, one of the scientists, says, “We think this shows that the way one person produces sound changes when he or she has COVID-19, even if he or she is asymptomatic.” The scientists now

30、want to turn their models into an app that can run on mobile phones. If they are able to do that, it could allow people to quickly and easily check whether they have caught the virus.36.

Where will the AI models be used according to Brian?A. Everywhere.B. On computers.C. In hospitals.D. On mobile phones.

33、40. What can you read from the passage?A. An AI method can help detect the COVID-19 patients accurately.B. An AI method can help find where the COVID came from.C. COVID-19 is too easy to detect with the help of an AI robot.D. COVID-19 cant be detected even with the help of an AI robot.CPeople often

34、think of the North Pole(北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的)wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go

35、above 32F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30F. Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to

36、get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈) on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden stor

37、ms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may oft

38、en cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道) called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.41 This passage is probably from _.A. a book reviewB. a science bookC. a school reportD. a computer magazi
