24、Hello, readers and friends. My name is Xin Xiaowei. I’m very happy to be here and to introduce myself to you.

I’m a 3-D AI-powered news anchor(主播), the world’s first one. Born in China on May 21, 2020, I was developed by the search engine Sogou and Xinhua News Agency. You may already be able to guess who I look like. But let me tell you anyway! I was modeled after Zhao Wanwei, a real-life reporter for the news agency.

As a digital news anchor, I’m not alone at all. I have several 2-D colleagues you might have known about. In 2018, Xinhua introduced its first digital anchor called Qiu Hao. He was designed through the use of machine learning to simulate(模拟)the voices, facial movements and gestures(姿势)of real-life broadcasters. Then in early 2019, the agency introduced another digital news anchor called Xin Xiaomeng, considered as the first-ever female AI-based news anchor.

Like my dear workmates, I can accompany you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. I can also be endlessly copied and presented at different scenes to bring you the news. But as a 3-D anchor, I’m a little different from them. For example, I can broadcast(播报)news more naturally and smoothly. More interestingly, I am also able to change my clothes and hairstyles based on various sceneries.

I completed my first task last month. It’s a great honor for me to report for Xinhua on the Two Sessions(两会). In the future, I will walk out of the studio to offer more audience a refreshing viewing experience!

【1】________ is considered as the first-ever female AI-based news anchor.

26、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Money may not buy happiness, but it helps in daily lives. Many teenagers don’t know how to manage money before going into the society. And they have no idea what it takes to make money or what it costs to live. So, 【1】 Let’s learn some tips on how to save money.

Earning Pocket Money

If you are a teen looking for some ways to get some pocket money, you have many choices available. It is possible for you to earn some pocket money by doing some jobs around the neighborhood. For example, mowing lawns (修剪草坪) is a good choice. 【2】

Making a plan

Figure out how much you can reasonably spend each day, each month even each year. 【3】 you have a big event, such as a graduation ceremony, it might mean you will need to spend more of your pocket money. Try making a plan for spending and saving. Write down how much money you have and what you are spending. Then it will help you take control of your money.

Helping Your Money Grow

Money can’t grow if it’s sitting inside a piggy bank. Each time you earn some money, part of the money should be saved into the bank and you can get some interest (利息). Grow your money in the long run. One day, you may feel surprised at how much money you have.

Learning Value

It is not common for teens to understand the value of money. Why? This is generally because 【4】 You might not be so concerned about the value of money or what these things truly cost. Your parents and other adults in your life should teach you how to manage your money. Only by learning how to manage your own money can you realize that you can only spend what you have earned.

A．Pet walking is also another great way.

B．they don’t have to work for their money.

C．If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.

D．Make a plan and spend your money on what you truly need.

E．it is never too early to learn about the value of money as a teenager.

27、

What do you do with clothes you don’t want to wear anymore? You may donate (捐赠) them or give them to other people. What happens next? Where do these clothes end up?

Sadly, the beaches of Ghana, a country in West Africa, are among these places. Now, the beaches are covered with clothing waste.

People from all over the world donate clothes to charity (慈善机构). However, charity shops only sell up to 20 percent of donated clothes, said The Guardian (英国《卫报》 ). The unsold clothes are then put in large bags and travel to other countries to be sold again or for waste disposal (处理).

The Kantamanto market in Accra, the capital of Ghana, is one of the world’s largest secondhand clothing markets. Every week, 20 million pieces of clothes arrive at Kantamanto.

But about 40 percent of them leave the market as waste. Workers either burn the waste or put it underground. However, the city is near the sea, so there’s not enough space for landfills (垃圾填埋场). This is why a lot of clothing waste ends up on the beach.

As it goes into the sea, fish and other sea life are in danger. Sea turtles (海龟) can’t get to the land, and fish can’t grow because they may get caught in the clothes.

The waste is also hurting the economy (经济), Ernest Ijawan, a worker at a landfill in Ghana, told Forbes. Fishers can’t catch as many fish as before since most of the things they catch are clothes.

【1】The beaches of Ghana are covered with _________.

A．food waste

B．clothing waste

C．dead fish

D．plastic bags

【2】How many pieces of secondhand clothes become waste at Kantamanto market every week?

A．4 million.

B．6 million.

C．8 million.

D．10 million.

【3】Which of the following is True?

A．In Accra, workers bury all the secondhand clothes.

B．In Accra, people like to pick secondhand clothes on the beach.

C．In Ghana, workers make a lot of money at landfills.

D．In Ghana, clothing waste in the sea is harmful to sea life.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Clothing Pollution

B．Secondhand Economy

C．The Beaches of Ghana

D．The unsold clothes
