4 . 语法填空

You get to choose: Do you want to use your life to make the world a better place     1     people, animals and the environment? Do you want to make Roots & Shoots rooted in everyone’s heart? Do you want to be a part of a community for a     2    (share) future? You cannot be absent. It is by    3    (act) together, in this exciting way, that we can involve thousands — millions — of people, and this is     4     is going to change the world.

5 . 语法填空

Ancient Rome began as a small village, possibly     1     (build) in the 8th century BCE, which then grew to become one of the most powerful civilizations in history.

The Romans developed their own system of writing numbers     2     (call) Roman numerals. We still use Roman numerals today on clock faces.

The Romans were also excellent engineers and architects who built impressive stadiums, temples and statues. They also built many hard-surfaced roads to other countries and       3     (develop) advanced heating systems.

6 . 语法填空

When we talk about ancient Greece,     1     (know) as “the birthplace of Western civilization”, we usually mean the years between 800 BCE and 146 BCE when there was a lot of cultural, social and scientific progress.

Ancient Greek literature and poetry are still popular today. You can find Greek myths (神话)     2     (study) by school children worldwide. The Olympic Games,     3     (hold) in Greece in 776 BCE for the first time, still take place every four years.

7 . COVID-19 shutdowns forced people out of work and pushed tens of millions into poverty worldwide. Governments tried hard to provide aid. It was easy in a small country, but difficult for a country with large population and vast rural areas.     1     Doing a detailed, nationwide, house-to-house survey takes people time and money. Luckily, satellites can see poverty from space.

Researchers have been finding ways to identify areas of wealth and poverty in satellite images. Through some satellite data and aerial images of one town or another, you can sort of tell whether it’s wealthy or not. Wealthier homes tend to have metal roofs while poor homes tend to have thatched roofs. Wealthier neighborhoods have paved roads and bigger plots of lands, more spaced out.     2     The researchers trained artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize these patterns.

    3     The researchers put AI to work studying patterns of mobile phone use in those regions. Rich people will make just more phone calls than poor people. They also might make more expensive international calls. They might use more mobile data because they have smartphones.     4    

The researchers use the system to identify about 60,000 people to receive benefits. The advantage of the satellite imagery and phone data approach is that it’s extremely fast and very convenient.     5     In shocks like climate disasters where there’s no time or way to get detailed information on the ground, satellites mobile phones and AI could help deliver aid quickly to people in need.

A．It was opposite in a big country.

B．How do they locate the neediest people?

C．So there’s a lot of information in the images.

D．Most importantly, it’s very cheap to carry out.

E．Worse still, it’s not so economical as a house-to-house survey.

F．However, in general, poorer people will just have feature phones.

G．What the researchers did next was to target the neediest people in those regions.

8 . Take a battlefield tour of WW I in 1917

On Labor Day, I watched a British movie named 1917. As indicated by the title, 1917 is set in the disorder and confusion of World War I.     1    , separating British and German troops.

Two British young soldiers, Blake and Schofield, are awakened from what could have only been a few minutes of sleep.     2    . A few miles away, another company (连队) including Blake’s brother, has planned an attack in a few hours, designed to push the Germans back even farther following a recent retreat (撤退). However, recent intelligence suggests that the retreat is a trick that will land them in an ambush (埋伏) that will cost thousands of British lives.     3    , so Blake and Schofield are ordered to head on foot to that company in order to call off the attack before it can start, a journey that, will force them to travel through the enemy territory. They witness carnage (大屠杀), and one of them happens to stick his hand into the open wound of a dead body.

The movie is not only known for its unbroken shot (连续镜头) but also for its adaptation of a true story from its director Sam Mendes’ grandfather. Through the eyes of Blake and Schofield, the movie shows the horror of a war that cost the lives of countless innocent people. As US scientist Benjamin once said, “    4    .”
