The best children’s museums in the U.S. feature some exhibits that kids want to see.
Children’s Museum of Indianapolis
This museum measures 472,900 square feet and sits on 29 acres of land. Exhibits are all
about hands-on learning. For example, dinosaur lovers will go crazy. Now you’re in their
world, where kids don't just look at real dinosaur skeletons (骨架); they can dig for bones in
the sand.
Boston Children’s Museum
This century-old Boston hotspot gives kids experiences that will help them learn life
skills. The museum became the city’s first “green” museum in 2007, because of its eco-
friendly 23,000-square-foot addition and unique waterfront park. Whether your kids are into
art, music, building, science, pretend play or all of the above, there’s plenty for them to do or
see in the museum.
The Strong National Museum of Play
This museum has too many awesome exhibits to list here, but one of the most popular is
the year-round indoor butterfly garden. Reading Adventureland is also a hit for pretend play
and helps form a love of books. If you’re a history lover, hit the National Toy Hall of Fame.
Children’s Museum of Houston
Bring your kids to this great children’s museum, and you’ll feel as if you’re stepping
into another world! Kidtropolis is a huge pretend city where kids run the show: It’s complete
with its own city hall, bank, news center, vet’s office and other common workplaces. Here
young inventors can also create their own gadgets (小装置) in the Invention Convention.

Three years ago, I got the chance to spend a month as a volunteer helping out in a
hospital in Africa. I had one month left at high school, and I was interested in studying
medicine at university. I thought it was the perfect chance to get some practical experience
and to see if I really wanted to be a doctor.
It was a month that changed my life. I was introduced to a new world that is very
different to mine in so many ways. I was horrified at how poor so many of the families over
there are and how difficult their lives can be. But I was even more amazed at how actively
people go about their everyday lives in Africa. The way they come together and help each
other is a real inspiration, and something I think a lot of us have forgotten. I think many of us
don’t realize how lucky we are.
My work in the hospital was hard. I spent a lot of time washing floors, cleaning toilets
and changing bed sheets. I also got to spend some time looking after the patients. But it was
such an honor for me to listen to a patient’s story and communicate with people from so
many walks of life. And I also got the chance to talk to some doctors and ask them about the
profession. I saw some truly awful things in the hospital, but none of them changed my mind
about being a doctor. In fact, they only made me more determined to do medicine.
It has been a great experience volunteering in Africa. When I finish, I know exactly
what I’m going to do: I want to work for an international organization like the Red Cross and
spend my life helping people who haven’t been as lucky in life as me. I can’t wait to get
started.

C. I want to be a doctor in the future. D.I’m not so sure if it’s what I want to do.
27. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To describe how to get a job in a hospital.

SnotBot is on a mission. The toaster-sized drone ( 无人机) flies over the open ocean,
directly above an unusual whale. On a boat nearby, Andy Rogan smiles with joy. Rogan has
been studying whales in his entire career but had never seen this species.
Back in 2011, Lian Pin Koh and Serge Wich, conservation experts, wondered if there
might be an easier way to get data of animals in the wild. Wildlife researchers often walk
through forests. They may look closely at whales from boats or stay in helicopters to view
animals from above. Such trips are usually dangerous. Plus, their noise may scare animals.
And helicopters can’t fly very far over the ocean because there’s nowhere to land or refuel.
“We thought, ‘What if you fly over them with a flying camera?’”says Wich. So they put
together a drone from a remote-control model airplane and camera equipment. And it did the
trick. On a test flight, the drone caught an image of an orangutan (猩猩) at the top of a very
tall tree. The pair realized this was just the beginning of a whole new way of doing
conservation work.
Now Wich and his colleagues are building AI that automatically locates and recognizes
animals. They call their project Conservation Al. When someone uploads an image or video,
the model analyzes the data. Then the model recognizes anything it can. In the future, an AI
model could keep watch, instead of forest guards. It could send warnings when seeing
doubtful activities.
The team tested this idea in a study in East Africa. Volunteers in Tanzania pretended to
be poachers (偷猎者) . The researchers made drones fly over the actors at different times of
the day. Overall, people looking at the drone images did a better job than the Al model at
finding pretend poachers. The model picked out many things that weren’t people at all. But
the model found poachers that most people missed. With a little more work, Wich thinks that
systems like this will make it easier for conservationists to better protect endangered animals.
28. What can we say about the researchers’ traditional way of studying animals?
A. It’s risky and ineffective. B. It’s demanding and cheap.
C. It can cause great harm to wildlife. D. It usually focuses on land animals.
29. What can we infer about Conservation AI from the passage?
A. It can replace conservationists' work. B. It works by studying data first.
C. It can punish the poachers. D.It is fully automated.
30. What is Wich's attitude to the future of the AI model?
A. Critical. B. Hopeful. C. Worried. D. Prejudiced.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Achievements in Wildlife Conservation
B. Major Discoveries of Biological Species
C. AI Study Has Achieved a Breakthrough
D. Flying Robots Protect Endangered Wildlife
