so on! Master Gardeners involve people in activities to improve their general well-being and overall
enjoyment of life by helping them find sound management practices for home and urban natural
resources, by creating pleasing environments through people-plant interactions and horticultural
therapy (园艺疗法), and by providing a safe food supply through home fruit and vegetable production.

Fifteen-year-old Sansa has been writing for eight years and has been working on a book for the
past four. Feeling stuck and unable to write, she started searching for writing groups in Los Angeles,
looking for guidance. When she found WriteGirl, she was inspired.
Keren Taylor started WriteGirl in 2001 as a way to help teen girls who did not have access to
creative writing programs. “Teen girls are incredibly vulnerable and invisible,” Taylor said. “They
really need to be lifted up and inspired.”
Anyone can apply to be a Master Gardener — you don’t need to be an expert or have a degree.
You do, however, need to:
At WriteGirl, 400 women writers volunteer to mentor (指导) 700 teenagers a year. Every girl who
has gone through the mentorship program has gone to college and several have pursued careers as
professional writers. Through the program, girls dive into poetry, fiction, songwriting, play and so on,
learning techniques from professional women writers. This leads to well-rounded training and sets
WriteGirl apart from other organizations.

Sansa’s mentor Danyella Wilder is attracted by the long-term nature of mentoring at WriteGirl.
Wilder wishes she had a program like this herself when she was 15. “To just have an organization
where people are spending their time just to tell you, ‘Hey, good job,’ or ‘That was amazing.’You’re at
the age where you need to hear that.”
it gave up on the hunt,” he said. Later, he worked with a local farmer to test his idea over a period of
10 weeks, and like the most recent results, all of the cows with painted eyes survived.
Despite the positive results, Dr. Jordan says the method isn’t a sure solution. He says if farmers
painted eyes on the backsides of all their cows, predators might finally figure out that the eyes aren’t
real. Therefore, further research should be done to prove whether it is effective.
In spite of this, he’s still hoping that the “i-cow” will become a widely used technique to at least
reduce predator’s attacks. “I think the farmers are just happy with this,” Dr. Jordan says. “After all, all
they need is a paint pot, paint brush and a little bit of artistic talent.”

What do you get when you paint a pair of eyes on a cow’s rump (臀部)? The answer is that you’ll
31. Why does Dr. Jordan think that farmers will favor his method?
get an approach to scaring predators (捕食者) away. This simple trick is called the “i-cow” solution.
The eyes painted on cows’ rumps can trick certain predators, such as lions and leopards.
An experiment by Australia and Botswana compared how predators reacted to herds that had eye
paintings on their rumps, ones that had “xs”, and some without any paintings at all. Over a four-year
period, researchers found that 15 out of the 835 unpainted cows were killed by predators, 4 of the 543
cows with “xs” died, but every single one of the 683 animals with eye paintings on their rumps was
still alive.
A. It is a widely recognized approach.
C. It is easy and cheap to carry out.
B. It follows their traditional practice.
D. It has proved the most effective.

Scientists are poor forecasters of the future. But two trends can be confidently predicted. First, the
world will get more crowded. There will be more than 9 billion people by 2050. Second, the world
will get warmer and some governments won’t prioritize the long-term measures needed to deal with
climate change, even though science offers us a road map to a low-carbon future.
Neil Jordan, a biologist in Australia, first came up with the method. While watching a lion
hunting a deer, he noticed something interesting. “Lions usually move slowly and quietly to their prey,
get close and jump on them. But when the deer noticed the lion and the lion realized it had been seen,
That’s why we should be promoters of new technology — without it the world can’t provide the
food and sustainable energy needed for an expanding population. But we should also be cautious, as
new technologies, such as AI, may be hard to control.
2
AI will undoubtedly become more intrusive (侵入) in the future. Records of our movements,
health and financial transactions will be stored in the cloud. The data may be used for justifiable
reasons, such as protein folding and drug development, or to warn us of initial health risks, but its
availability to Internet companies is already shifting the balance of power from governments to
global-scale corporations.
D. It can bring about the competition among nations.
34. Which of the following statements will the author probably agree with?
A. Post-humans will repeat the history of humans.
B. Complex intelligence will destroy the universe.
C. Fully artificial intelligences may inhabit outer space.
D. Non-biological brains may invite unforeseen disasters.
35. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Is it possible to predict the future?
Actually, it’s beyond Earth that AI has the most enormous potential. Humans may have
established bases beyond Earth by the year 2100. But don’t ever expect mass emigration (移民) from
Earth. It’s a false belief that space offers an escape from our problems. Dealing with climate change
on Earth is a piece of cake compared to terraforming (将…地球化) Mars.
B. Could science and technology save us?
Nevertheless, we should cheer on these brave human space adventurers. They’ll be ill-adapted to
a Martian habitat, so they’ll have a super motive to redesign themselves. It’s they, not those of us
adapted to life on Earth, who will pioneer the post-human era. If post-humans make the shift from
flesh and blood to fully artificial intelligences, they won’t need an atmosphere or even gravity, so it’s
in deep space — not even on Mars — that non-biological “brains” may develop powers that we can’t
imagine. They may end up being mentally different from us. AI could jump-start a huge emigration
and thus ever more complex intelligence spreads through the universe.
C. Is it difficult to emigrate to outer space?
D. Will artificial intelligence replace humans?

Vertical (垂直的) farming involves using vertically piled layers and other innovative resources to
help your crops grow.
36
You get to grow your plants while using the small space at home.
But let’s refocus from the science fiction of the far future, closer to the here and now. This
century is special. It’s the first, in Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history where one species — ours — holds
the planet’s future in its hands. Our intelligence could initiate billions of years of post-human
evolution, even more amazing than that which led to us. On the other hand, humans could cause
biological, environmental or cyber catastrophes that foreclose all this potential.
Below are some benefits of vertical farming for small house owners.
Reduce water usage. Watering a vertical garden is easy, simple, and uses less water. If your plants
are grown in a traditional way, you’ll need lots of water to keep up with your plants’ growth.
37
Save space. As a small house owner, space is a big concern. However, vertical farming ensures
If science is to save us, we need to think globally, sensibly and long-term — empowered by
science, but guided by values that science alone can’t provide.
