4 . Today, cities are getting bigger and busier, which brings us challenges. We need better transport to get around and clean energy to power our homes. How can we live more conveniently? Smart cities may help.
Imagine when you are close to your home, your smart watch tells your home to turn on the lights. The Internet of things (物联网) can help to do this. It connects everything to the Intermet. It’s like having lots of little smart helpers. They “send messages” to things in the city and let them work together.
Big data (数据) works like the brain of the city. It helps the city make decisions. For example, data about cars running in the city shows us about the tratic condition. Data about the humidity (湿度) tells us whether it is going to rain.
5G provides high-speed wireless (无线的) Internet. It makes the Internet of things possible. The speed of 5G can be up to 10 GB per second.We can download a film in just a few seconds.
AI helps to deal with the data. More importantly, it learms from the data and becomes smarter.AI can work as a teacher, a tour guide, or even help to design cars and make people work in a safe way.
Can a city “see” things? With sensors (传感器) , the answer is yes. Sensors are like a city’s eyes. They are in every corner of the city. They collect data on people and the environment.
A smart cily can be a bit like a big, clever robot. It can “think” and make decisions to make everything work in a smart way! The bins can “tell” the rubbish trucks when they are full. The buildings can “talk” to computers to help save energy. Different technologies work together to make our city smart.

6 . I soon saw two pirates (海盗) lying at the back of the ship. One was dead. The other, Israel Hands, was hurt and calling for rum (朗姆酒) . I gave Hands the rum. As he drank it, the colour returned to his cheeks.
“I am taking over this ship, Mr Hands,” I said. “You will treat me as your Captain Jim.”
He looked at me sourly, but he could do nothing. I then took down the Jolly Roger flag and threw it into the sea.
“You want to get ashore (海岸), now you need my help.” said Hands, “Tie up my wound, then I’ll tell you how to sail the ship.”
“I want to get to North Inlet.”
Hands agreed to help me, and the Hispaniola was sailing along the coast of Treasure Island. I tied up the knife wound in his leg with a cloth. After eating and drinking, he looked better.
We soon arrived at the North Inlet. Hands was very good at guiding me in, we turned into the beach, and came easily to have a rest.
I was busy bringing the ship in and forgot to watch Hands. When I turned around, Hands was standing behind me, his knife ready. I quickly climbed up the ropes and prepared both my guns.
“One more move, I’ll kill you! Mr Hands.” I shouted.
Suddenly, a knife flew through the air to me, both guns in my hands fired, and fell into the sea together with Israel Hands.
Then I climbed off the ship and swam ashore. I arrived at the fort (城堡) and walked in when my foot touched someone’s leg. Someone was sleeping on the ground. He moved but did not wake. Then suddenly a shrill (尖厉的) voice called out in the darkness:
“Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!”
It was Long John Silver’s parrot, Captain Flint!
“Who is it?” Silver cried.
I turned to escape, but someone closed his arms around me and held me tight.

7 .
The Yellow River is known as the mother river of the Chinese people. However, flood control and disaster forecasts (灾害预报) of the river have always been challenging for people. Now, scientists can better work on these problems by giving the river a digital twin.
The digital twin of the Yellow River uses different kinds of technologies, including big data, artificial intelligence and the internet of things. Devices(设备)are set up along the river to collect and transmit (传送) information to the center. Based on the information, a 3D model of the river is showed on the computer screen. It’s like the Yellow River has a twin that describes its real conditions.
One big thing in the digital governance (治理) is “smart stones”. A smart stone is a detector (探测器) with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter. They are put in important dikes (堤坝) to record and report the movement of dike stones. If it feels any movement of the dikes stones, it will send an alarm to the center for quick response.
In the sky, there are flying drones (无人机). They are designed to look at the river, its dikes and flood prevention projects. The drones provide researchers with photos and information. The researchers use this information to update a 3D model to watch the changes of water to avoid disasters.
Under the water and up in the sky, intelligent systems are helping to protect the Yellow River. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, in the future, we can expect to see an even more complete digital system for the river.
1. What does the digital twin of the Yellow River do?A.To warn people to protect Yellow River. |

A.They update 3D model to avoid disasters. |
B.They tell weather changes along the river. |

B.The digital twin is helping protect the Yellow River better. |
C.The Yellow River will avoid disasters with the digital twin. |
D.The Yellow River is facing flood and disasters all the time. |

10 . Many universities in China are being encouraged to start offering soccer as a new undergraduate major(本科专业)this year. The purpose of that is to improve the country’s physical education according to the Ministry of Education(教育部).
Soccer has been set up as a new major in 30 universities in China, including Beijing Sport University and Liaoning Normal University, according to a new notice from the Ministry of Education in March, 2024.
At the same time, more universities have set up some majors related to sports, such as sports training and physical education. Some famous universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University and Beijing Institute of Technology have also been allowed to start offering majors in physical education.
Qian Junwei, a professor (教授) at Peking University, said that setting up undergraduate major in physical education is to meet the need of the national requirement of building high-level sports teams. He said that Peking University will train more excellent physical educators to build a strong sports country. Liu Bo, the director of the sports department at Tsinghua University, added that sports majors are expected to become popular among universities. The new soccer major might help more sports students get into university.
