That youngsters were glued to online games on their smart phones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena, a school teacher in Nirjuli. The 30-year-old social science teacher, who ran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre, said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers. "The graph of student performance is falling every year. It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets-basic grammar skills are missing and there's an absence of any cohesive(连贯性的)expression. They lack guidance and reading culture is almost zero," Meena said. When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to infectious diseases, she planned to do something to address the problem.

Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on August 30th, 2020, where passers-by could spend time reading. The selections included motivational books, biographies and novels as well as comics for young children. "I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read, but that is okay." she laughed.

Meena's bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner. Within two months, her effort became the talk of the town.

Now, generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itanagar. Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town, she also lends books out to those who want to read at home.

"I never thought that this would become such a big inspiration," Meena said. "Since childhood, we have been told that books are our best friends. The next generation of kids is focused on games and other things. I don't want them to head on the wrong track," she added.

24. What's the aim of Meena's reading program?

A. To help adults learn cohesive expression.

B. To care for youngsters lacking in reading.

C. To keep Ngurang Learning Institute running well.

D. To highlight the importance of reading for adults.

25. What did Meena do to encourage young kids to read more?

A. She offered them transportation.            B. She offered some rewards to them.

C. She chose novels with beautiful covers.      D. She selected books covering every category.

26. Which words can best describe Meena's libraries?

A. Influential and meaningful.      B. Small and useless.

C. Large but impractical.          D. Widespread but unwelcome.

27. What is the best title for the text?

A. Books: Sources of Knowledge             B. The Roadside Reading Corner

C. The Library: a Paradise for the Young       D. New Ideas about Setting a Reading Plan

C

While we know that language first appeared among Homo sapiens somewhere thousands of years ago, the secret to how language evolved is still unknown, and mainstream theories fall into two distinctly different camps.

One widely held theory is that language came about as an evolutionary adaptation. That was where the idea of natural selection came into play, which was the belief that the specific physical features of a population made that population more likely to survive its environment, like the turtle(海龟)and its shell. On one hand, humans needed to communicate with each other in order to hunt, farm and defend themselves successfully from the surrounding severe environment. Being able to communicate by using language gave the human species a distinct survival advantage. On the other hand, language was needed for social interaction, according to those who subscribed to the adaptation theory.

In their paper "Natural Language and Natural Selection," researchers Steven Pinker and Paul Bloom theorized that a series of calls or gestures evolved over time into combinations, giving us complex communication, or language. As things became more complicated around them, humans needed a more complex system to convey information to one another. Early man saw a group of deer he wanted to hunt. He made a sound to his hunting partner that means "deer are nearby." One day, a storm came in and the hunter noticed that thunder scared the deer away. As a result, the hunter went hungry until the storm passed. Over time, the same hunter also learned to recognize the warning signs for bad weather-dark skies and increased wind. Early man realized that when the sky darkened and the wind picked up, he needed to tell his hunting partner to speed up the pursuit of the deer. Therefore, he came up with a series of sounds that refer to both the deer and the bad weather. That series of sounds was the beginning of an evolutionary adaptation that eventually became language.

As humans learned more about how to best survive, they developed a need to convey these survival methods to their population. To be brief, that's the adaptation theory.

28. Why are the turtle and its shell mentioned in paragraph 2?

A. To show the mystery of nature.           B. To support the evolutionary adaptation.

C. To stress the advantage of the turtle's shell.  D. To encourage people to study natural selection.

29. How does the author explain the adaptation theory in paragraph 3?

A. By comparing.            B. By listing data.

C. By giving an example.      D. By carrying out a survey.

30. What will the author most probably tell us next?

A. The other theory of how language evolved.

B. The exact place where humans came from.

C. The reasons why animals cannot form language.

D. The methods of humans' shaping non-verbal thinking.

31. What is the text mainly about?

A. The evolution of language.           B. The paper on natural selection.

C. The differences between theories.      D. The introduction to human reproduction.

D

A cheap printed sensor could transmit wildfire warnings. Wildfires have recently destroyed regions across the world, and their gravity is increasing. Hoping to reduce harm, researchers led by Yapei Wang, a Chinese chemist of Renmin University, say they have developed an inexpensive sensor to detect such fires earlier with less effort.

Current detection methods rely heavily on human watchfulness, which can delay an effective response. Most wildfires are reported by the general public, and other alerts come from routine foot patrols and watchtower observers. Passing planes and satellites also occasionally spot something, but "the fire first appears on the ground," Wang says. "When you see the fire from the sky, it is too late."

The team says its new sensor can be placed near tree trunks' bases and send a wireless signal to a nearby receiver if there is a dramatic temperature increase. That heat also powers the sensor itself, without replacing batteries. The team printed the substances onto ordinary paper to create a sensor for just $ 0.40.

But improving coordination among the different agencies involved in firefighting is even more crucial to address, says Graham Kent, an earthquake expert at the University of Nevada, Reno, who was not part of the study. Kent is director of ALERT Wildfire, a network that uses cameras and crowd sourcing to watch for fires in California, Nevada and Oregon. "The whole way that you respond to a fire until it's put out is like a ballet," he says. "You'd have to choreograph(设计)it just so, with resources precisely used at the right time and place and in the right order from detection to confirmation to assignment to extinguishment(熄灭). Fire detection is just step one."

Wang says his team's next steps are to extend the device's signal range beyond the current 100 meters, which can limit practical use, and to develop a protective shield for it. The transmitter's effectiveness, he notes, will also need to be examined in the field ahead.

32. What does the underlined word "gravity" in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Pull.      B. Extinction.      C. Popularity.      D. Severity.

33. What do we know about the sensor?

A. Its price remains high.                B. Its batteries are replaceable.

C. It can detect fires earlier and easier.      D. It can reduce firefighters' pain.

34. What does Kent mean in paragraph 4?

A. Firefighting is easy but crucial.            B. Fire detection resources are rich.

C. Putting out a fire is an orderly activity.      D. Technology is the key to extinguishing a fire.

35. What's the plan for the new sensor according to Wang?

A. Improving and testing it.                 B. Limiting its use and transmission.

C. Examing and reducing its signal range.      D. Getting it on the market ahead of time.

Invisible People

If you have the time, check out an amazing YouTube channel that I recently found   61   (call) "invisible people". It's a channel with   62   (hundred) of interviews of homeless people who share their story and   63   they survive day to day.

The man who operates the channel   64   (be) formerly homeless and has devoted his life to helping   65   homeless. The name "invisible people" certainly suits the channel well. For indeed there are so many "invisible" beings who are suffering every day, both humans and animals, and yet our   66   (social) either pays little for people to   67   (cruel) treat and kill animals, or completely ignores those who are in desperate need.

Occasionally, someone who   68   (watch) the videos on that channel is near one of the interviewed people and is able   69   (help) in some way. Some of the videos are truly heartbreaking but it's important to see what people go through. We can't turn a blind eye or treat them as if they're invisible. We cannot behave as it's been said, "Worship a homeless man on Sunday, and then ignore a homeless man   70   Monday."
