“Can I see yur hmewrk?” As instructed, I slwly handed ver the paper. After a shrt pause, Mm excitedly annunced, “Thugh yu gt sme answers wrng, it desn’t make the answer yu gt right any less impressive!”

“Okay, I’ll try.”
Frm then n, after each prblem we gt right, we wuld give a high five as if I had just mastered smething big. Fr me each little prblem I gt right was a huge victry. By celebrating them as such, it taught me hw t take challenges ne at a time and t treat each success, n matter hw big r small, as a great accmplishment. As Mum expected, a small victry made a difference.
Instead f cmparing myself with the peple wh were far ahead f my slw calculatins, I tk a deep breath and whispered t myself, “I DID IT!” Then I simply mved n t the next questin, and the next, then the next, until eventually I said “I DID IT!” s many times that I culdn’t help but believe that I had actually dne smething great!

When crn farmers harvest their crp, they ften leave the crn stver（玉米秸秆）t rt in the fields. Nw, engineers have made a new strain f yeast（酵母菌）that can transfer this uneatable leftver int ethanl（乙醇）, a bifuel. If the prcess can be prduced massively, this renewable energy surce culd help reduce reliance n fssil fuels.
Previus effrts t transfrm crn stver int fuel met with limited success. Befre yeasts can d their jb, crn stver must be brken dwn, but this prcess ften generates by-prducts that kill yeasts. But by imprving a gene in cmmn bakers’ yeast, researchers have engineered a strain that can break dwn thse yeast-killing by-prducts and get n with the jb f turning sugar int ethanl.
The new yeast was able t prduce ver 100 grams f ethanl fr every liter f treated crn stver, an efficiency cmparable t the standard prcess using crn t make the bifuel, the researchers reprt in Science Advances.
“They’ve prduced a new yeast,” says Venkatesh Balan, a chemical engineer at the University f Hustn nt invlved in the research. “The new strain may benefit bifuel prducers.”
In the United States, mst ethanl is made frm crn, the cuntry’s largest crp, and is mixed int mst f the gasline sld at gas statins. Crn ethanl is a renewable energy surce, but changing crn t make ethanl can affect the fd supply, and expanding crpland just t plant crn fr bifuels clears natural habitats. Cnverting uneatable crn stver int ethanl culd increase the bifuel supply withut having t plant mre crps.
“Crn can’t really displace petrleum as a raw material fr fuels,” says metablic engineer Felix Lam f MIT. “There are s many substitutes.” Lam acknwledges. The visin, he says, is t challenge the reign f fssil fuels.
28. Hw can crn stver be dealt with accrding t researchers?
A. It can be left t rt in the field. B. It can be used t replace fssil fuels.
C. It can be used t make yeast. D. It can be used t make bifuels.
29. Which f the fllwing best describes the new yeast?
A. It can change crn’s gene.
B. It can kill crn stver cmpletely.
C. It can break dwn crn stver int ethanl.
D. It prduces fuel less efficiently than crn des.
30. What can we learn abut crn ethanl in Paragraph 5?
A. It has great ptential. B. It has sme limitatins.
C. It des mre harm than gd. D. It leaves nthing t be desired.
31. What d we knw frm Felix Lam’s wrds in the last paragraph?
A. Fssil fuels can be entirely replaced by thers sn.
B. There are ther alternatives as a raw material fr fuels.
C. Changing crn stver int ethanl has a lng way t g.
D. Crn stver ethanl will change il industry cmpletely.

This spring, Facebk revealed that it’s develping a versin f Instagram fr children under 13 years ld that gives kids the chance t cnnect with friends and family withut seeing ads r being targeted by child predatrs（奴役儿童者）.
But as any caregiver r parent knws, screens are addictive. Many adults can’t tear themselves away frm their smartphnes, cmputers, and televisins. And children are even less prepared t resist the lure. As is reprted, kids between the ages f 8 and 12 already spend 1,200 hurs a year in frnt f screens. What’s mre, child-prtectin advcates als wrry that Facebk, which wns Instagram, wn’t be able t adequately prtect yung users’ privacy r stp them frm cyberbullying（网络欺凌）.
Erin Wilkey Oh, cntent directr at the nnprfit Cmmn Sense Media, says, “Scial media culd benefit yunger kids if it’s dne thughtfully. But Facebk’s track recrd shws the cmpany may nt really d what it prmises. Plus, there are already ways fr children t cnnect with family and friends nline. D they really need anther app t make them spend mre time n their devices?”
The relatinship between kids and scial media is mre cmplicated than it seems. A 2020 survey cnducted by Cmmn Sense Media fund that even thugh scial media use was linked t depressin and anxiety, many teens als saw scial media as a way t access critical infrmatin abut their mental and physical health and cnnect with their peers.
Despite the utcry（强烈抗议）, Facebk desn’t seem t slw its plans t rll ut the app. S parents can minimize the ptentially negative impacts. Parents can create a set f rules that details hw much screen time kids are allwed each week and what they can watch. It’s nt perfect, but it can help families balance screen time with exercise, and real-life scial interactins that are vital t children’s well-being.
32. What des the underlined wrd “lure” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Suffering. B. Cnnectin. C. Attractin. D. Devtin.
33. What can we infer frm Erin Wilkey Oh’s wrds?
A. Scial media d gd t little kids.
B. Apps intended fr kids are necessary.
C. Facebk ften breaks its prmise.
D. Facebk desn’t have t develp its new app.
34. Which statement is right accrding t the 2020 survey?
A. Scial media d harm t children.
B. Many kids benefit frm scial media in sme way.
C. Children shuldn’t have access t scial media.
D. Mre surveys shuld be dne n scial media.
35. What are parents advised t d in the last paragraph?
A. Keep their kids ff Facebk. B. Shw their kids real scial skills.
C. Stress negative influences nline. D. Weigh their kids’ wrkut against nline time.

“Can I see yur hmewrk?” As instructed, I slwly handed ver the paper. After a shrt pause, Mm excitedly annunced, “Thugh yu gt sme answers wrng, it desn’t make the answer yu gt right any less impressive!”

When crn farmers harvest their crp, they ften leave the crn stver（玉米秸秆）t rt in the fields. Nw, engineers have made a new strain f yeast（酵母菌）that can transfer this uneatable leftver int ethanl（乙醇）, a bifuel. If the prcess can be prduced massively, this renewable energy surce culd help reduce reliance n fssil fuels.
Previus effrts t transfrm crn stver int fuel met with limited success. Befre yeasts can d their jb, crn stver must be brken dwn, but this prcess ften generates by-prducts that kill yeasts. But by imprving a gene in cmmn bakers’ yeast, researchers have engineered a strain that can break dwn thse yeast-killing by-prducts and get n with the jb f turning sugar int ethanl.
The new yeast was able t prduce ver 100 grams f ethanl fr every liter f treated crn stver, an efficiency cmparable t the standard prcess using crn t make the bifuel, the researchers reprt in Science Advances.
“They’ve prduced a new yeast,” says Venkatesh Balan, a chemical engineer at the University f Hustn nt invlved in the research. “The new strain may benefit bifuel prducers.”
In the United States, mst ethanl is made frm crn, the cuntry’s largest crp, and is mixed int mst f the gasline sld at gas statins. Crn ethanl is a renewable energy surce, but changing crn t make ethanl can affect the fd supply, and expanding crpland just t plant crn fr bifuels clears natural habitats. Cnverting uneatable crn stver int ethanl culd increase the bifuel supply withut having t plant mre crps.
“Crn can’t really displace petrleum as a raw material fr fuels,” says metablic engineer Felix Lam f MIT. “There are s many substitutes.” Lam acknwledges. The visin, he says, is t challenge the reign f fssil fuels.
28. Hw can crn stver be dealt with accrding t researchers?
A. It can be left t rt in the field. B. It can be used t replace fssil fuels.
C. It can be used t make yeast. D. It can be used t make bifuels.
29. Which f the fllwing best describes the new yeast?
A. It can change crn’s gene.
B. It can kill crn stver cmpletely.
C. It can break dwn crn stver int ethanl.
D. It prduces fuel less efficiently than crn des.
30. What can we learn abut crn ethanl in Paragraph 5?
A. It has great ptential. B. It has sme limitatins.
C. It des mre harm than gd. D. It leaves nthing t be desired.
31. What d we knw frm Felix Lam’s wrds in the last paragraph?
A. Fssil fuels can be entirely replaced by thers sn.
B. There are ther alternatives as a raw material fr fuels.
C. Changing crn stver int ethanl has a lng way t g.
D. Crn stver ethanl will change il industry cmpletely.

This spring, Facebk revealed that it’s develping a versin f Instagram fr children under 13 years ld that gives kids the chance t cnnect with friends and family withut seeing ads r being targeted by child predatrs（奴役儿童者）.
But as any caregiver r parent knws, screens are addictive. Many adults can’t tear themselves away frm their smartphnes, cmputers, and televisins. And children are even less prepared t resist the lure. As is reprted, kids between the ages f 8 and 12 already spend 1,200 hurs a year in frnt f screens. What’s mre, child-prtectin advcates als wrry that Facebk, which wns Instagram, wn’t be able t adequately prtect yung users’ privacy r stp them frm cyberbullying（网络欺凌）.
Erin Wilkey Oh, cntent directr at the nnprfit Cmmn Sense Media, says, “Scial media culd benefit yunger kids if it’s dne thughtfully. But Facebk’s track recrd shws the cmpany may nt really d what it prmises. Plus, there are already ways fr children t cnnect with family and friends nline. D they really need anther app t make them spend mre time n their devices?”
The relatinship between kids and scial media is mre cmplicated than it seems. A 2020 survey cnducted by Cmmn Sense Media fund that even thugh scial media use was linked t depressin and anxiety, many teens als saw scial media as a way t access critical infrmatin abut their mental and physical health and cnnect with their peers.
Despite the utcry（强烈抗议）, Facebk desn’t seem t slw its plans t rll ut the app. S parents can minimize the ptentially negative impacts. Parents can create a set f rules that details hw much screen time kids are allwed each week and what they can watch. It’s nt perfect, but it can help families balance screen time with exercise, and real-life scial interactins that are vital t children’s well-being.
32. What des the underlined wrd “lure” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Suffering. B. Cnnectin. C. Attractin. D. Devtin.
33. What can we infer frm Erin Wilkey Oh’s wrds?
A. Scial media d gd t little kids.
B. Apps intended fr kids are necessary.
C. Facebk ften breaks its prmise.
D. Facebk desn’t have t develp its new app.
34. Which statement is right accrding t the 2020 survey?
A. Scial media d harm t children.
B. Many kids benefit frm scial media in sme way.
C. Children shuldn’t have access t scial media.
D. Mre surveys shuld be dne n scial media.
35. What are parents advised t d in the last paragraph?
A. Keep their kids ff Facebk. B. Shw their kids real scial skills.
C. Stress negative influences nline. D. Weigh their kids’ wrkut against nline time.
