For Ken， there are direct connections between people who lived long ago and people living today. It is his job as a filmmaker and observer of history to make those connections clear for viewers of his films.

It all began forKen in Brooklyn，New York，where he was born on29 July，1953.Because of his father's work，the familymovedoften before Ken was 10.When he was 11 years old，Ken's mother diedof an illness.The family was living in Michigan at the time，and Kenand his dad spent many nights watching old John Ford films together.He was touched by the power that movies could have and was determined to learn the craft.

After high school， Ken chose to attend Hampshire College in Massachusetts，to study film.His professors frowned on the Hollywood style of moviemakingand encouraged him to make documentaries.

In1990，Ken releasedTheCivil War，an11-hour series that was shownonpublic television.The film used more than 16，Oo historical photographs and many noted actors.Ken brought the images to life by slowly panning （搖攝）thecamera over a photograph as an actor read a personal letter written by the subject of the picture.Music played in the background.This technique became known as the Ken Burns Effect： the feeling of bringing the viewer back in time and connecting him or her with the past.

The Civil War won more than 40 major film， music，and television awards.But Ken does not make movies for fame or fortune.He has turned down many offers to work as a Hollywood movie director on multimillion-dollar films.“The past lives that people lived，their stories，the everyday things are what really touch my heart，” Ken says.

If job seekers knew companies were using AI to fillopen positions， would it stop them from applying for the job？ The answer，according to a recent study， is yes-sometimes.

The researchers found that in certain instances，like the screening （篩選）of applications，participants usually accepted some degree of automation. But in other instances，like interviews，automation could stop job seekers from applying for a position.

Companies facing recent labor shortages are increasingly turning to AI as a way to facilitate and speed up the hiring process.AI can be used in tasks such as screening job candidates，checking professional licenses，and interviewing candidates.

The new research suggests that using AI in hiring could be quite opposite.For instance， in one part of the study，participants were shown fictional job postings and then asked if they intended to apply for the position.The researchers found that if the job posting said that AI was used both to screen applicants and to conductinterviews，participants' intention to apply for the positionaveraged 2.77 on a six-point scale.If AI was used only for the screening process， participants' intention to apply averaged 3.73.

In another experiment， the researchers also found that study participants saw pros and cons in the use of AI in interviewing. When told the hiring would be fully automated，some participants expected the whole hiring process to be more consistent in its judgments.But others tended to believe that they had less Voice in the final outcome.Overall， the study results suggest this concern tends to outweigh the appreciation of AI's lack of bias （偏見）at the interviewing stage.

A mixed approach may be a way to get the best of both worlds. Participants may have been more open to automation earlier in the hiring process because they could see some benefits from using AI—such as less-biased decisions.But during the later stages applicants expect personal interaction，to give them an opportunity to sell themselves and to learn more about the company.

28.Why do companies increasingly turn to AI in hiring？

A.To attract more applicants. B. To boost hiring process.

C. To pick out top candidates. D. To avoid bias.

29.In which part do participants prefer automation？

A.Screening job candidates. B.Interviewing candidates. C. Grading professional licenses. D.Predicting final outcomes

30.Whatdo the underlined words“this concern”in Paragraph 5 refer to？

A.LessAIinvolvement. B.Lack of consistent judgments C.Less-biased decisions. D.Lack of personal interaction.

31.What does the author mainly want to tell us？

A.Hi-tech is a two-edged sword. B.AI finds its way to hiring process. C.Automation may discourage job seekers. D.A mixed approach should be adopted in hirin

Interspecies was once a technical term used in science to describe how one species got along with another. Now it is a word of more consequence： it arouses the new connections between humans and nonhumans that are being made possble by technology.In Ways of Being，James Bridle，a British artist and technology writer， explores what this means for understanding the non-human inteligence on Earth.

Mr Bridle makes it clear that three kinds of minds are now interacting： humans，non-humans and machines.Using artificial intelligence （AI），machines in the future will have the capability to interpose （介人） themselves as translators between humans and other biological life forms.

It is true that profit （收益）is the main motive for advances inAI;as yet nature does not get much of a look-in，and non-human intelligence goes unexplored outside zoology departments. Computing is as focusedon humans as ever，evenas climate change and biodiversity-losssuggest it should devote much greater attention to other species.

The first step toward an interspecies future，Mr Bridle argues， is showing more appreciation for other forms of inteligence.To some extent，this is already happening.For example，through films and other initiatives many people now know that octopuses have advanced and strange intelligence.The next step，Mr Bridle declares，is recognizing that people live in a“more-than-human”world.Other forms of intelligence have developed from a common evolutionary base，and they overlap （重疊） in ways that science is just beginning to discover.

Ways of Being would have benefited from sharper editing. Yet， in making clear the patience， imagination and humilityrequired to better know and protect other forms of intelligence on Earth，he has made an admirable contribution to the dawning of the interspecies age.

32.Which of the following best illustrates the term“interspecies\"？

A.Awolf hunts a rabbit. B.A robot does housework.

C.A lady walks her dog. D.Aboy records a video for squirrels.

33.What doesAI lay emphasis on nowadays？

A. Biodiversity. B.Wild species. C. Humans. D. Climate change.

34.Whatis Paragraph4mainlyabout？

A.The characteristics of species evolution.

B.Expectations for the future development ofAI.

C.Suggestions on future exploration of interspecies.

D.The importance of appreciation for other forms of intelligence.

35.What is the author's attitude to Waysof Being？

A. Critical. B.Favorable. C.Doubtful. D. Carefree.

After WorldWarI，a small groupof veterans （老兵）returned to their village in France.Most of them managed to get along quite well，but one—Barton，who had been wounded and never recovered his strength—was unable to work regularly.After some time，he graduallybecame so poor that he could barely support his wife and five children. Yet he was a man with great self-respect and too proud to accept charity from the villagers.

Once each year the veterans held a reunion （重聚） diner party. On one of these occasions they met in the home of Clinton，who had made a fortune and had grown self-important. Clinton produced a curiosity by showing thema large coin，about whose age and value he kept talking for long.Each man examined it with interest as it passed around the long table.All had drunk wine freely and the dining room was resounded with noisy talk，so that the gold coin was soon forgoten.Later，when Clinton wanted to get it back， however， the coin was missing.

Immediately there arose questions and denials.Finally the village lawyer suggested everyone be searched， to which all agreed—except Barton.His companions looked at him with surprise.

“You refuse， then？” asked Clinton. Barton turned red.“Yes！” he said.“I can’t allow it.\"

“Did you realize，”asked the owner of the gold coin，“what your refusal means？\"

“I did not steal the gold coin，and I will not agree to such a search，”Barton answered firmly.

One by one，the rest of the group turned out their pockets.When the coin failed to appear，attention was focused once more on poor Barton again.

“Surely you should not insist on your refusal，” the lawyer demanded.

Barton made no reply. Clinton walked out of the room in anger.No one spoke another word to Barton and he returned to his home.

From that day on，Barton was regarded as a dishonest man. People turned their eyes away when they met him.

注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150個(gè)左右。

One day many years later， Clinton was doing cleaning when he caught something faintly shining behind one leg of the long table.

Hearing his words，Barton looked at Clinton with a puzzled expression.
