What

is

it

like

to

travel

in

space?

If

you

have

ever

watched

space

movies,

you

may

know

something

about

it.

Aurora

Station

is

the

world's

first

space

hotel.

US

company

Orion

Span

built

the

hotel.

The

hotel

is

around

12

feet

wide

and

35

feet

long.

?It

welcomed

its

first

guests

in

2022.

?It

can

hold

six

people

at

a

time,

two

of

them

workers.

Each

trip

aboard

the

station

lasted

for

12

days.

Guests

there

were

able

to

do

many

interesting

things.

For

example,

they

saw

around

16

sunrises

and

sunsets

every

24

hours.

They

took

part

in

research

experiments

such

as

growing

food

in

space.

Later,

they

brought

the

food

back

to

Earth

as

a

souvenir.

These

are

the

same

things

as

astronauts

usually

do.

Guests

also

shared

what

they

saw

and

heard

with

others

on

Earth.

??They

had

a

video

chat

using

a

high-speed

wireless

Internet

connection.

But

each

guest

had

to

pay

at

$9.5

million.

That's

really

a

large

of

money.第一節(jié)

[2024浙南名校聯(lián)盟高二期中考試]People

who

don't

feel

have

trouble

However,

anyone

can

boost

their

confidence

by

ensuring

their

body

conveys

a

positive

Practice

these

and

movements

to

project

your

self-confidence.第二部分閱讀（共兩節(jié)，滿分50分）Lean

ForwardWhen

you

are

in

a

conversation,

leaning

forward

indicates

interest

and

attention,

while

maintaining

distance

indicates

that

you

disinterested.

Research

suggests

that

nonverbal

signals

such

as

leaning

forward

and

facing

straight

ahead

help

convey

feelings

of

interest.Slow

Your

MovementsFast

movements

make

you

Everything

from

to

your

can

make

a

difference;

slow

down

and

notice

how

you

is

to

maintain

Slow

combined

with

weak

of

a

lack

offer

a

How

influence

how

has

found

that

the

length

of

a

is

around

three

two

months

before

his

senior

year

in

high

school,

Foster

Andersen

was

riding

a

motorcycle

in

his

hometown

of

Henrietta,

N.Y.

when

he

crashed.

The

accident

left

him

in

a

coma.

He

remained

in

a

hospital

for

seven

months.

In

the

nearly

40

years

that

have

followed,

Andersen

has

to

use

a

wheelchair.

He

can

write

when

a

pen

is

intertwined（使纏繞）

in

his

fingers,

but

he

needs

an

assistant

to

help

him

with

everyday

needs.

However,

a

quick

survey

of

his

achievements

reveals

not

one,

but

two

college

degrees

and

a

huge

network

of

people

who

call

him

a

friend.

And

probably

the

best

example

of

Andersen's

spirit

is

his

nonprofit

group

Shared

Adventures.

Last

summer

the

organization

celebrated

28

years

of

bringing

recreational

and

social

activities

to

people

with

disabilities.

"It's

founded

on

the

belief

that

recreation,

fun,

challenge

and

opportunity

for

the

outdoors

are

necessary

parts

of

a

healthy

life,"

Andersen

said.

"We

are

the

only

year-round

program

that

offers

such

a

wide

range

of

activities

to

people

with

physical

challenges

and

special

needs."The

most

well-known

event

is

called

Day

on

the

Beach.

Day

on

the

Beach

is

the

highlight

of

each

year,

when

more

than

300

people

with

special

needs,

over

400

family

members

and

friends,

and

over

250

enthusiastic

volunteers

team

up

to

share

a

full

day

of

adaptive

sports.

Wendy

Bell,

a

disabled

yoga

teacher

and

Day

on

the

Beach

participant,

said

the

event

is

the

best

example

of

the

great

experience

the

organization

offers.

And

Shared

Adventures

helps

her

in

another

way.

"More

than

half

of

the

people

I

meet

are

through

Shared

Adventures,

so

it

provides

something

that

can

be

hard

to

find

elsewhere,"

she

said.【解題導(dǎo)語】

being

extinct

from

the

Earth

is

a

serious

issue.

When

this

happens

in

order

to

use

their

fur

or

skin

for

fashion,

it

is

even

worse,

since

it's

not

even

for

a

matter

of

human

survival.

That's

why

a

London

zoo

decided

to

make

a

powerful

statement

at

the

Siamese

crocodile

enclosure

（暹羅鱷圍場）.

When

visitors

come

in

expectation

of

seeing

a

crocodile,

they're

greeted

with

the

handbag

instead,

making

a

very

effective

and

powerful

point

about

illegal

wildlife

trade

and

the

harm

it

causes

to

the

species

involved.A

sign

by

the

enclosure

reads,

"This

bag

used

to

be

found

swimming

in

slow-moving

rivers

and

streams

across

Southeast

Asia.

Over

the

last

75

years,

more

than

80%

of

Siamese

crocodiles

have

disappeared.

Many,

like

this

one,

were

hunted

their

as

the

trade."

Native

to

parts

of

Southeast

Asia,

Siamese

crocodiles

are

critically

endangered

and

have

become

virtually

extinct

in

the

wild.

Due

to

hunting

as

well

as

habitat

loss,

they

are

now

absent

from

nearly

99%

of

their

original

range.

A

huge

part

of

the

decline

in

population

is

due

to

humans'

using

their

wetland

habitat

for

rice

farming,

and

things

only

took

a

turn

for

the

worse

when

large-scale

hunting

for

their

skin

for

commercial

purposes

began

in

the

1950s.The

particular

handbag

that

is

on

display

at

the

zoo

was

confiscated

at

a

UK

airport,

according

to

Benjamin

Tapley,

leader

of

the

Reptile

（爬行動物）

Team

at

Zoological

Society

of

London

（ZSL）.

Tapley

told

The

"We

Jason

M.Allen

was

almost

too

nervous

to

enter

his

first

art

competition.

Now,

his

award-winning

image

is

stirring

debates

about

whether

art

can

be

generated

by

a

computer,

and

what,

exactly,

it

means

to

be

an

artist.In

August

2022,

Allen,

a

39-year-old

game

designer

who

lives

in

Pueblo

West,

Colorado,

took

first

place

in

the

"digital

arts/digitally

manipulated

photography"

category

at

the

Colorado

State

Fair

Fine

Arts

Competition.

His

winning

image,

titled

Thétre

D'opéra

Spatial,

was

made

with

Midjourney

—

an

artificial

intelligence

system

that

can

produce

detailed

images

when

fed

written

prompts（提示）.

Allen's

winning

image

looks

like

a

bright

cross

between

a

classical

and

modern

painting.

It's

one

of

three

such

images

he

submitted

in

the

competition.

Allen

excitedly

posted

his

win

on

August

25,

along

with

pictures

of

his

three

entries.

It

spread

quickly

online,

with

many

artists

feeling

angry

about

Allen's

win

because

of

his

use

of

AI

to

create

the

images."He

just

pressed

a

few

buttons

to

make

a

digital

art

piece,"

one

online

user

wrote."We're

watching

the

death

of

art

unfold

before

our

eyes."

However,

to

get

the

final

three

images,

Allen

took

over

80

hours.

First,

he

played

around

with

phrasing

that

led

Midjourney

to

generate

images

of

women

in

nice

dresses

and

space

helmets.

Over

time,

with

slight

adjustments

to

his

written

prompts,

he

created

900

repetitive

processes

of

what

led

to

his

final

three

images.

He

gave

the

final

touches

to

those

three

images

in

Photoshop.

Then

he

ran

the

images

through

another

software

program

called

Gigapixel

AI

that

can

improve

resolution（分辨率）

and

had

the

images

printed

at

a

local

print

shop.Allen

is

glad

that

the

debate

over

whether

AI

can

be

used

to

make

art

is

getting

so

much

attention."Rather

than

hating

the

technology

or

the

people

behind

it,

we

need

to

recognize

it's

a

powerful

tool

and

use

it

for

good

so

we

can

all

move

forward,"

Allen

said.【解題導(dǎo)語】文章主要報道了在美國科
