27、In the modern age, a significant number of people suffer with chronic (慢性的) back pain and discomfort, which not only affects their quality of life but also puts a substantial economic burden on society.

BackHug, a pioneering health-tech company, has risen to the challenge of alleviating this crisis by introducing a solution that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to tackle the root causes of back pain.

AI holds the promise to revolutionize (彻底改变) healthcare, including back care. With its ability to analyse vast amounts of medical data, AI can assist in early detection and diagnosis of back issues, leading to faster and more accurate treatment. It enables the creation of personalized treatment plans, taking into account individual patient factors for improved outcomes. AI-driven predictive analytics can help identify at-risk individuals and take preventive measures, reducing the burden of back pain. In essence, AI is set to transform back care by offering more effective, personalized, and accessible solutions.

This technology allows users to track changes in their back tension over time, providing them with evidence of the device’s therapeutic benefits after each session. This new data will be combined with other data collected on the BackHug App, notably from its in-app physiotherapy questionnaire, which generates a personalized treatment programme for each user. This is where AI comes in to analyse the data and generate continuously updated personal treatment programmes on BackHug for users. As Chongsu Lee has noted, this groundbreaking solution not only addresses a pressing issue but also introduces a new data category — back tension measurement.

When it comes to back care, traditional options such as massage therapy sessions can often be a huge load. Many individuals find themselves facing large bills and waiting lists for relief from their back problems, which is why BackHug offers an accessible solution through a subscription model starting at just £89 per month. It, without doubt, has the potential to reshape the landscape of back care.

【1】What does the underlined word “alleviating” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Illustrating.

B．Easing.

C．Defining.

D．Investigating.

【2】What can be know about the AI-based back care technology?

B．It can offer a final diagnosis based on big data.

C．It can provide treatment programmes based on users’ need.

D．It can get users informed of their back conditions at any time.

【3】What is the advantage of Al-based treatment according to the last paragraph?

A．Affordable price.

B．Quick recovery.

C．Visible changes.

D．Safety insurance.

【4】What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?

B．To advise on ways to keep away from back pain.

C．To praise scientists’ devotion to health-related research.

D．To introduce the application of AI-driven technology to back care.

28、Scientists have found something strange has been happening among sensitive bird species in the Brazilian Amazon in recent years. Not only were the birds declining in number, but their bodies were also shrinking in size. “We found that size was not only shrinking for those sensitive species-it was declining for everyone, “said researcher Vitek Jirinec of Louisiana State University. Jirinec’s findingsare contained in a new study published in the journal Science Advances last Friday.

The study examined 77 species over a 40-year period, during which time the rainforest had become warmer. It found they were rapidly evolving perhaps because smaller birds remove heat more efficiently as they have more surface area in relation to volume. Brian Weeks of the University of Michigan explained it this way: “You could imagine lots of little ice cubes in a glass of water, as opposed to one big ice cube, and the little ice cubes melt faster because smaller things have larger surface area-to-volume ratios(比)，so they exchange heat more quickly. “Weeks didn’t work on this particular study, but he did research the size of more than50 species of migratory (迁徙的) birds in North America a few years back. He too found that nearly all of them were shrinking decade by decade.

The two studies strengthen the idea that birds all over the planet, migratory or not, may be changing shape due to a warming climate. Weeks said these sorts of changes should concern all of us. “All around the world, people depend on natural systems. Complete natural systems provide more economic benefits to humanity than the entirety of the world’s GDP, so they matter to you whether or not you know it, Weeks said. Jirinec thought the timing of his paper’s publication could not be more fitting. The study came out on the same day as the conclusion of the UN climate change conference in Glasgow. So those results really stressed the common consequences of the actions for the planet.

【1】What was a cause of the birds becoming smaller in size?

A．The decrease of birds’ number.

B．The sensitiveness of birds.

C．A warming climate.

D．The development of birds.

【2】How did Brian Weeks explain birds’ getting rid of heat?

A．By example and comparison.

B．By analyzing the data.

C．By giving enough evidence.

D．By observation and research.

【3】Which of the following best describes the findings of the two studies?

A．Dangerous.

B．Concerning.

C．Demanding.

D．Fantastic.

【4】What’s the purpose of the text?

A．To introduce two studies.

B．To explain a natural phenomenon.

C．To praise the conference in Glasgow.

D．To make people focus on climate change.

29、   People diet to look more attractive. Fish diet to avoid being beaten up, thrown out of their social group, and getting eaten as a result. That is the fascinating conclusion of the latest research into fish behavior by a team of Australian scientists.

The research team have discovered that subordinate (下级的) fish voluntarily diet to avoid challenging their larger competitors. "In studying gobies（鰕虎鱼） we noticed that only the largest two individuals, a male and female, had breeding (繁殖) rights within the group," explains Marian Wong. "All other group members are nonbreeding females, each being 5-10% smaller than its next largest competitor. We wanted to find out how they maintain this precise size separation. "

The reason for the size difference was easy to see. Once a subordinate fish grows to within 5-10% of the size of its larger competitor, it causes a fight which usually ends in the smaller goby being driven away from the group. More often than not, the evicted fish is then eaten up.

It appeared that the smaller fish were keeping themselves small in order to avoid challenging the boss fish. Whether they did so voluntarily, by restraining how much they ate, was not clear. The research team decided to do an experiment. They tried to fatten up some of the subordinate gobies to see what happened. To their surprise, the gobies simply refused the extra food they were offered, clearly preferring to remain small and avoid fights, over having a feast.

The discovery challenges the traditional scientific view of how boss individuals keep their position in a group. Previously it was thought that large individuals simply used their weight and size to threaten their subordinates and take more of the food for themselves, so keeping their competitors small.

While the habits of gobies may seem a little mysterious, Dr. Wong explains that understanding the relationships between boss and subordinate animals is important to understanding how hierarchical（等级的） societies remain stable.

The research has proved the fact that voluntary dieting is a habit far from exclusive(专有的) to humans. "As yet, we lack a complete understanding of how widespread the voluntary reduction of food intake is in nature," the researchers comment. "Data on human dieting suggests that, while humans generally diet to improve health or increase attractiveness, rarely does it improve long-term health and males regularly prefer females that are fatter, than the females' own ideal."

A.faces danger B.has breeding rights

C.eats its competitor D.leaves the group itself

【2】The underlined words "the evicted fish" in Paragraph 3 refer to _________.
