Meglan Larry was 10 years old,instead of putting up pictures of famous stars,she decorated her bedroom walls with posters,stickers,and pages torn from magazines of anything tied to the,military,.She couldnt wait to be part of a world where it was a big deal”for women to,enlist,.,2.Then one day there was a fire in her grandparents house on the family,ranch,in Hollister,California.Among the firefighting crew was a woman.Her head was covered with a helmet and self-contained breathing,apparatus,She carried a flat head axe and Halligan tool,.Larry was stunned,.,3.“They let you do that?the young Larry asked as the female firefighter approached.“Youre actually a firefighter?”“Yes,the firefighter responded.“And I hope one day,youll think about it because we need a lot more women in the fire service.And with that,the woman planted a seed in Larrys young mind,inspiring her plans to join the military.Larry is now in her third season with CAL FIRE(California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection).,4.While statistics about the number of women in CAL FIRE only date back to 2019,they account for roughly 5.5 percent of the approximately 8,300 workforce.,The job is rigorous for anyone-male or female.Battling wildfires requires both physical and psychological strength.Climate change,has created increasingly dry conditions and drought across California,which has led to a rise in the intensity and length of time fires rage across the state.Fire season now runs as long as 10 months out of the year-thats up from three months a decade ago-with the occasional blaze erupting even in December and January.,5.Recently,Larry was coming off a fire line when she,encountered,a six-year-old girl,really excited over seeing a female firefighter.This is so cool,the girl said as she looked up at Larry.Larry choked up as she realized she had grown into that stranger who,altered,the course of her own life.,阅读理解,A:,介绍,Meglan Larry,Para1.,引,出主题人物：,phenomenon topic,Para3.Influence of

works.Unfortunately,the great musician died while still working on his 10th,Symphony,.Now,a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence(AI)to complete the artists final masterpiece.Dr.Matthias Roder,the director of the Karajan,Institute,in Austria,who respects Beethoven very much,wanted to do something for the musicians 250th birthday in December 2020.He,enlist,ed an international team of music experts to help him with the big task.They included music,composer,Walter Werzowa and Dr.Ahmed Elgammal,the creator of an AI technology for the art market.,2.Elgammal and his colleagues started the process by familiarizing the AI software,initially,with,a broad range of,classical music,and then,narrowed it to just Beethovens works.Meanwhile,Werzowa and his group tried to understand the,rough sketches,(,草图,)and the,handful of,notes that detailed Beethovens plans for the 10th Symphony.,3.The team then began the task of,feed,ing the AI software musical notes from the unfinished,composition,.Elgammal says that since music is very structured and mathematical,AI can predict the next note reasonably and accurately.However,it starts to go off the central theme after a few notes,To stay true to Beethovens original composition,Elgammals team sent Werzowa hundreds of AI-generated musical note,variation,s every evening.Werzowa would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was closest to what the artist would have written.The AI team would add the music and rerun the software to,generate,the next suggestions.And piece by piece,the team was able to complete Beethovens 10th Symphony!,4.The composition appeared at the Telekom Forum in Beethovens birthplace of Bonn,Germany,on October 9,2021.Not surprisingly,the AI-generated masterpiece is causing some argument.,Critics,believe technology should not be used to replace the human creative process.Elgammal and his team agree with their,viewpoint,and say their AI software is not out to replace humans-it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways.,Para1.,引出话题,Para2-3 AI,完成交响乐的过程,人们的态度,1.Plenty of studies have,investigate,d how climate change could be harmful to the production of coffee bean crops,with research released in 2019 suggesting that 60 percent of known coffee species could be in danger of going,extinct,.But a new scientific review has attempted to focus specifically on how global warming might affect the taste and smell of coffee,Bad news is that not only could the coffee of the future be harder to,come by,（获得）,it could taste bad,too.,2.“A low-quality cup of coffee has economic influences as well as sensory(,感官的,)ones,”Sean Cash,professor at Tufts Friedman Nutrition Science explained.“If we can understand the science of these changes,we might help farmers better manage coffee production in the face of this and future challenges.“,3.,Specifically,researchers identified two factors that had the most,consistent association with,quality:higher altitude produced coffee with better taste and smell;and too much sunlight led to decreased quality.,4.,That first factor,could be significantly affected by global warming.“Higher altitudes,are connected with,cooler temperatures.It,results in,slower ripening(,成熟,),long-time fruit-fill and higher accumulation(,积累,)of taste and smell,”the paper states.“What may happen to coffee quality at higher altitudes,with increased temperature linked to climate change,?And we need to know climate adaptation is needed for coffee agricultural systems,at all altitudes,“,5.On the other hand,reducing sunlight,exposure,(,暴露,)is easier to deal with.“While light exposure is shifting with climate change,this can be controlled in coffee agricultural systems.Through shade management including developing shade-grown coffee systems with best levels of coverage,the paper continued.“Shade management is a relatively easily reached climate adaptation,strategy,compared to relocating farms.”,6.Still,the studys biggest,takeaway,was the more work needs to be done to ensure our coffee tastes.“This systematic review highlights that coffee quality,is sensitive to,climate change and climate adaptationthe conclusion stated.“,Given,the sensitivity of coffee quality to environmental change,evidence-based,innovations,are called for to enhance the sustainable development of the coffee industry,in the context of,（在,情况下）,global change.,阅读理解,C:,Para1.,研究内容,Para2.,研究目的,Para3-5.,分析,原因,Para6.,解决方法,1.My husband and I booked a,fall,leaf-sight tour up the Hudson River.We were really,eager
