After several months of waiting，in November 2O18，Ireceived an offer to work for six months as a Physiotherapy Activity Manager （PAM） in one of the MSF rehabilitation （康復）centers in Baghdad！ Leaving in January！ Wow！Asudden mix of excitement and anxiety briefly took hold of me..but I made my decision quickly-Iwould leave in January for Iraq.

Under the burning sun，I went through one of the most challenging experiences，such as adapting to a climate that sometimes lacks softness，and adapting to my new professional duties，my multicultural team and the pace that always took us further.

I met a patient during our weekly medical rounds.This young man had been in a terible accident on the family farm when he was just a child，leaving him with only one arm and one leg.For more than 10 years，he mainly gotaround bydragging himself along the ground，and thus developed incredible physical and mental strength.This young man came out of his rehabilitation with MSF upright and proud， walking toward a brighter future.

The MSF project also supports the national health care system，primarily through knowledge sharing. Unfortunately，the healthcare and education systems have been particularly hard hitby war.Today's system is still marked by the past and by corruption （腐敗）—it struggles to recover and regain its former prestige （聲望）.The project has given us the chance to improve physiotherapy training so that more people can receive rehabilitative care.As a PAM，my overallrole is to support beter physiotherapy practices and to work in cooperation with Iraqis to develop services.

Although Baghdad is modern and freer than its neighbors，strict security checks have become a regular part of day-to-day life.Living in Baghdad means living with a heavy past. It also means hope. Hope that Iraq's culture， which is rich，generous and ancient， willbe recognized and make people forget about war.

24.Whatis Paragraph2 mainly about？

A.Thedifficulties theauthor faces inBaghdad.

B.How the author got the offer to work for MSF.

B.He teaches practical knowledge to local kids.

C.He treats people suffering from mental illnesses.

D.He helps Iraqis to develop their rehabilitative care.

Sending a thumbs-up can be seen as passive aggressive （攻擊性的），according to Gen Z （those born between1995and 2009）who say they feel attacked whenever it isused.Whether the chat is informal， between friends or at work the symbol appears to have a very different，“rude”meaning for the younger generation.

A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument，saying it is best “never used in any situation”as itis“hurtful\".“Noone of myage in the offce does it，but the Gen X（those born between 1966 and 198O） people always do it.Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they're mad at me，” he added. Other young people agreed it is bad form，especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing.

“My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on，and most of the peopleon there just replied with a thumbs-up.Idon't know why but it seemed a litte bit hostile to me，” one woman said. One Reddit user also said the thumbs-up actually means that“I've read your messge and have nothing to add and I hope and pray...all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.”

Older workers appear confused by the reaction，saying they use the thumbs-up in work-related chats to show“Iagree”or“Iunderstood and will follow”.

Partof the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes.Barry Kennedy，24，he said heonlyused it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues.A survey of 2，000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are“officially old” if you use the thumbs-up or heart emoji.

28.Which point is not the Gen Z's understanding of the thumbs-up emoji？

A.Being rude. B.Being agreeable. C.Being hurtful. D. Being aggressive.

：9.What does theunderlined word“hostile\"inParagraph3 mean？

A.Unfriendly. B.Difficult. C.Unacceptable. D. Strange ）.What can we learn about the older workers in talking about the thumbs-up emoji？

A.They have poor communication kills. B. They have worse memory.

C. They lack communication with the young. D.They understand the emoji differently.

31.Whatcanbethebesttitleforthetext？

A.A Sign ofBeingAggressive B.AEmoji： HighlyWelcomedby OldPeople C.A Sign of Generation Gap D.AEmoji： Rejected by the Younger Generation

“There are between 10 and 50 billion potentially habitable worlds in our galaxy，”says Bill Diamond. He is the chief executive of the US based research organization Seti （Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence）.“Seti is looking for science and technology beyond the solar systemas the evidence of life and intelligence，”Mr Diamond says.“We're looking for something that is likely extremely rare and may be very difficult to find from the background phenomena that you're observing at the same time.”

But the ability of AI to both handle massive datasets and to spot anomalies （異常現象） is transforming the hunt for alien intelligence.Mr Diamond points to AI enabling the search for new types of radio signals from aliens.Traditionally， Seti has looked for narrowband （窄頻）signals like those used by humans.“But there was always the question，‘What if there's an alien advanced technology that is using wideband radio？ And if that's the case，our traditional methods wouldn’t work; it would look like a bunch of noise on the screen.”However，Mr Diamond says that the ability of AI to handle massve amounts of data means it’s possible to take millions of“snapshots”of the snowy audio picture over time，and to start to look for patterns.

Researcher Peter Ma developed an AI system to examine telescope data and distinguish between posible alien signals and interference.His team simulated （模擬） both types of noise and trained the AI to identify them.The project has already identified eight potential alien signals that went undetected by traditional analysis.However，Mr Ma believes that as the observations haven't yet been repeated，they are probably 1 positives.

It's earlydays，and any promising results generated byAI need to be confirmed by other observations， or by physics-based models，before they can be shouted from the rooftops. But as more and more data are collcted and analyzed，the chances ofdetecting alien life—if it exits—are increasing all the time.

32.What doesMrDiamond stress in Paragraph 1？

A.The existence of alien intelligence. B.The challenge of spotting aliens. C.The ambition to explore the solar system. D.The capabilityofartificial intelligence

33.What does Mr Diamond want to prove by mentioning“wideband radio”in Paragraph 2？

A.The high IQof aliens. B.The occurrence of new patterns. C. The potential for the application of AI. D.The noisy narrowband signal sources

34.What will Mr Ma depend on to judge his discovery？

A.The simulated noise. B.The identified data.

C.The repetitive signals. D.The traditional analysis.

35.What can we learn from the last paragraph？

A.AI has proven alien life exists. B.Physics models can find aliens.

C.The application of AI is promising. D.More data raises the chance of finding aliens.

閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。

I had always been cautious around Max.He was the quiet kid in our grade，the one who sat at the back of the classroom with his hood pulled low over his face.Max rarely spoke to anyone，and when he did，his words were rudely brief and often misunderstood.Rumors （謠言）about him spread like wildfire—some said he got into fights after school，others claimed he had once stolen a teacher'swallet.Ididn’t know if any of them was true，but Istayed away， just like everyone else.

Then one Friday morning，Max didn't show up to class.A low voice of curiosity spread through the room，and soon enough， theories about his absence started flying.

Later that day，I found myself at the park，enjoying the first warm day of spring. That’s when I saw him—Max—sitting alone on the swings. His usual guarded expression was gone，and replaced by something Ihadn't expected： sadness.Against my better judgment， Iwalked over.

\"Hey，”Isaid awkwardly.

Max looked up， surprised.“What do you want？\"

“I... just saw you here and thought I'd sayhi.\"

He gave me a strange look but said nothing.I was about to walk away when I noticed a wrinkled piece ）f paper in his hand.“What’s that？\"Iasked.

Fora moment， he hesitated.Then，with a shrug （聳肩），he handed it to me.It was a hospital discharge form，and the name on it wasn’t his.It was his younger sister's.Ilooked at him， confused.

“She's been sick for months，”Max explained， his voice barely heard.“Yesterday was bad.My mom couldn't leave work，so Istayed at the hospital and looked after herall night.\"

It hit me then how wrong we had all been about Max.The tough outward appearance，the distance—he wasn't trying to push people away.He was carrying a weight none of us understood.

注意：續寫詞數應為150個左右。

ThenextMonday，Maxreturned，but rumorsremained.

From that day forward， things began to change.
