2．A struggling Waffle House employee who was trying to serve nearly 30 people by himself after midnight got a full serving of kindness when some customers jumped behind the counter to help him.
Ethan Crispo，24，witnessed the inspiring scene in the early hours of Nov.3 at a Waffle House in Birmingham，Alabama.
Crispo told TODAY's Kerry Sanders that he had come to the 24-hour restaurant from a friend's birthday party and saw the struggling employee，identified only as Ben，trying to cook the food，serve it，bus tables and wash dishes while more than 25 people were waiting to eat.
"The look on his face was just confusion，" Crispo told Sanders.
An unidentified male customer then decided to help him out，grabbing an apron and going behind the counter to wash dishes.
Another customer，Alison Stanley，went behind the counter to make some coffee-still dressed from a night out on the town.
"I don't think it's anything special，" Stanley told Sanders. "He needed help，so I got up and helped out."
Crispo took some photos of the scene as multiple customers worked to bus tables and wash dishes while Ben focused on taking orders and preparing the food.
Waffle House told TODAY that Ben was left to support himself due to a scheduling issue.
"We had two associates scheduled to leave，however，due to a communication mix-up，their relief did not show up on time，" Waffle House director of PR Pat Warner said in a statement. "That left Ben，our cook，alone in the restaurant with hungry customers.He worked the grill（烤架）and got the orders out."
The company was also thankful for the customers who joined in and helped Ben out.
"We are grateful that many of our customers feel like they are part of our Waffle House family，" Warner said. "There is a sense of community in each and every one of our restaurants，and we appreciate the fact that they consider our associates like family."
"We are also very thankful for Ben，who kept the restaurant open.He is a representative of our Waffle House culture by always putting the customers first."
Crispo had his usual order，double plain waffle，as he took in the scene of strangers helping out Ben on his shift.

3．When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America，the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife.Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely.Unfortunately，it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources.Millions of waterfowl（水禽） were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen.Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations，greatly reducing waterfowl habitat （棲息地）.
In 1934，with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act（Act），an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory（遷徙的）waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival.Under this Act，all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp.The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. "Ding" Darling，a political cartoonist from Des Moines，Iowa，who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey.Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.
About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System - a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come.Since 1934，better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat.Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.
（1）What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America？
A．Loss of wetlands.
B．Popularity of water sports.
C．Pollution of rivers.
D．Arrival of other wild animals.
（2）What does the underlined word "decimate" mean in the first paragraph？
A．Acquire.
B．Export.
C．Destroy.
D．Distribute.
（3）What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934？
A．The stamp price has gone down.
B．The migratory birds have flown away.
C．The hunters have stopped hunting.
D．The government has collected money.
（4）Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？
A．The Federal Duck Stamp Story
B．The National Wildlife Refuge System
C．The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl
D．The History of Migratory Bird Hunting組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5 -
4．With the commercial sale of its AI-enabled precision spraying（噴灑）technology to a large farming operation in Israel，Greeneye Technology has reached a major milestone in its mission to significantly reduce herbicide（除草劑）use in agriculture，increasing productivity and profitability for farmers.
This is the first stage in the company's global rollout，which will continue in early 2022 with its launch in the US market.Initially，Greeneye plans to work with corn and soybean farmers in the Midwest and will increase availability to other states in 2023.Within days of announcing its early adopter program in the US，the company was oversubscribed，indicating the growing interest from farmers for a commercially viable precision spraying solution.
Backed by Syngenta，Greeneye says its precision spraying technology has been proven to cut herbicide use by 78% and reduce herbicide costs by more than 50%（average figures），while also improving weed control efficacy（功效，效力）compared to traditional broadcast spraying.This is achieved through Al technology that can detect and spray weeds in crops with 95.7% accuracy.
"Weeds represent one of the greatest threats to global crop production，" says Nadav Bocher，CEO of Grceneye Technology.In the US alone，they are estimated to cost farmers more than ﹩33 billion annually.Today，farmers address this challenge by spraying herbicides across the entire field.As a result，not only are farmers spending far more money on herbicides than they need to，but millions of gallons of herbicides are being needlessly sprayed each year.This is contributing to the mounting challenges posed by herbicide-resistant weeds and worse still，polluted soil and water.
"We are incredibly proud to announce the commercial launch of our precision spraying technology，but reducing herbicide use is just the beginning，" Bocher says." The next generation of our technology，which is already in development，will also be capable of precisely spraying chemicals."
"At the same time，our AI capabilities enable us to collect ultra-high-resolution data from the entire field，providing valuable insights to farmers.With this information at our fingertips，Greeneye is positioned to guide the global agriculture industry toward a more sustainable - and profitable future."
（1）What can we learn about Greeneye's AI-enabled precision spraying technology？
A．It is slightly better than the traditional broadcast spraying method.
B．Farmers are doubtful whether the technology is precise and useful.
C．It has been available in the global market to bring benefits for farmers.
D．It is a breakthrough for the company to reduce herbicide use in agriculture.
（2）According to Bocher，which is NOT a problem caused by the traditional spraying method？
A．It results in an unnecessary waste of money and herbicides.
B．It poses threats to the environment by polluting soil and water.
C．It brings about a growing number of herbicide-resistant weeds.
D．It reduces crop production and thus causes the hunger problem.
（3）What is Bocher's attitude towards the new technology？
A．Supportive.
B．Ambiguous.
C．Cautious.
D．Disapproving.
（4）What can be a suitable title for the passage？
A．AI-enabled Precision Spraying Technology to Change the World
B．New Adopter Program in Israel Over Subscribed by Eager Farmers
C．Greeneye Launches Its AI-enabled Precision Spraying Technology
D．CEO of Greeneye Technology Reveals Details of Company Profits組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5

19．"Sun，sun，sun，here it comes…"
Danny sang while his fingers pressed and pulled skillfully at the guitar strings，delivering a slow and peaceful tune.A circle of audience had formed，nodding and moving slowly to the song.
Lying at the feet of the street performer was his most adoring fan：One-Eyed，a white stray （流浪） dog with pieces of brown.Danny felt the name was suitable considering its physical disability.Usually，One-Eyed would bark loudly as Danny performed.Much to his annoyance，people often mistook the pair as owner and pet.At this time，Danny would reply， "My dog？No!"，eyes rolling at the idea.How he wished the dog would leave him alone instead!
On a snowy night，while Danny was performing，a bird flew downward，landing into the midst of the crowd.It cooed happily as if to harmonize with Danny.Unfortunately，that did not sit well with One-Eyed，which immediately bounced at it and the bird flew away desperately.
The unexpected chaos upturned Danny's hat，which could have been filled with notes and coins from his appreciative audience，leaving it ignored on the ground. "Argh!The hateful dog!" Danny broke down，thinking to himself， "Either the dog goes or I go!"
On the next night，Danny tried to find a new place and chanced upon the park.For a while his earnings were good unsurprisingly as there was a steady flow of visitors.However，that didn't last long.One-Eyed came along and appointed itself as Danny's guardian. "Argh!Here comes the hateful dog again!" That night，Danny hadn't made enough money he should have，all thanks to the troublesome dog.
Danny was almost mad with One-Eyed. "What should I do？Call an animal shelter？" Torn by this problem，he walked aimlessly by the lake of the park.With all his mind focused on how to get rid of the dog，Danny didn't watch his steps.Suddenly，he slipped and fell into the lake accidentally.Struggling in the icy water，he cried for help desperately，almost choking to death.Sensing the approach of death，Danny got into overwhelming panic.
