Wordle has become one of the most popular online games in America since it came out last October. Players get six chances to guess and learn a five-letter word for the day. Many are sharing their game results on social media, adding more interest in the game. Here are other games that help learners with different subjects.

Mathematics

British data scientist Richard Mann of London was talking with his daughter about the popularity of Worlle. He thought there should be a game for people who like mathematics and developed Nerde. It's a daily game in which a player has six tries to guess a math solution.

Math teachers note that a Nerdle player uses logic, a careful way of thinking about something, to solve a math problem. It's similar to how a Wordle player applies logic to guessing a word. 

 Geography

French video game developer Antoine Teuf invented Worldle in honor of that word game, Wordle.

Players guess a country based on its shape. They get six tries to guess a country based on information about the country. Teuf first shared the game on January 22. He said there would be two million visits a day to the game's page a month later.

Starlink, a new satellite Internet system from the company SpaceX, is changing the world more quickly than many people expected. Before Starlink， most satellite Internet service was based on satellites that constantly remained above one point on Earth. This means signals from farther away need to travel a long distance，causing delays.

Starlink has a web of satellites moving constantly in a low orbit around the earth. Because the satellites are closer, the speeds are faster. This makes the service better for things that need to happen without delay, like holding meetings over the Internet. SpaceX isn’t the only company competing to provide this kind of satellite Internet service. For example, OneWeb is a British company developing a similar satellite Internet service. But Starlink is farther along than most others.

Starlink works in 31 countries, but SpaceX plans to expand the service to cover the whole world. SpaceX is also planning to offer service on transportation, like planes, trains, and boats. Starlink has over 2, 100 satellites in orbit around the earth. SpaceX has permission from the US government to send up 12 ,000 satellites, and it has asked for permission to send up 30 ,000 more.

Astronomers have complained( 抱怨) Starlink satellites make it harder to study things in space without satellites getting in the way. SpaceX has worked to reduce the light from Starlink satellites. But scientists say the satellites still make their work harder. This will get worse as more satellites fill the skies. There are also worries about Starlink satellites crashing into other satellites or spacecraft. In 2019, a European satellite had to move to avoid coming close to Starlink satellites. Last year, China complained its space station had to move twice to avoid Starlink satellites.

Still, Starlink has been useful in emergencies. Starlink service has helped firefighters battling wildfires in remote areas. When the island nation of Tonga lost Internet service after a volcano eruption, SpaceX provided temporary service using Starink.

28. Why is OneWeb mentioned in paragraph 2?

A. To prove the wide popularity of satellite Internet service.

B. To show the competition among satellite Internet service providers.

C. To display the great difficulty in providing satellite Internet service.

D. To praise Starlink' s great success in providing satellite Internet service.

29. What can be learned about Starlink according to paragraph 3?

A. It has provided service globally.            B. It suffers from signal delays.

C. It consists of several thousand satellites.     D. It is mainly designed for transportation.

30. What problems do Starlink satellites cause?

A. Worsening natural conditions in space.

B. Light pollution and space safety concerns.

C. Rising production costs and light pollution.

D. Stricter control and underdevelopment of space.

31. What is the best title for the text?

A. Satellite Internet Service Changes the World

B. Working Principles of Satellite Internet Service

C. Satellite Internet Service Uses Too Many Satellites

D. The Huge Potential for Satellite Internet Service

Mosquitoes see red when they look at your skin, and that brings them in for a bite，according to new research showing that these insects find certain colors more attractive.

The findings mean that what you wear can reduce your chances of being bitten, but there's little you can do in terms of your skin. That' s because everyone's skin gives off a strong red-orange signal that’s highly attractive to mosquitoes.

“I used to say there are three major signals that attract mosquitoes: your breath, your sweat and the temperature of your skin," said senior study author Jeffrey Riffell, a professor of biology at the University of Washington in Seattle. “ In this study, we found a fourth signal: the color red, which can be found not only on your clothes, but also in everyone’s skin. The shade of your skin doesn't matter; we' re all giving off a strong red signal.”

Researchers found that when a common species of mosquito called Aedes aegypti detects carbon dioxide (CO2) from our breath, it then looks for specific colors- including red, orange and black- -to find its meal of blood. But it ignores colors such as green, purple, blue and white.

“Mosquitoes appear to use smell to help them distinguish what is nearby, like a host to bite," Riffell said. .

“When they detect specific compounds, like CO2 from our breath, that smell stimulates the eyes to scan for specific colors and other visual patterns, which are associated with a potential host, and then they head to them. ”

That process is similar to when a person smells something good. “ Imagine you' re on a sidewalk and you smell pies," Riffell said.“That' s probably a sign that there' s a bakery nearby, and you might start looking around for it. Here, we started to learn what visual elements( 要素) mosquitoes are looking for after smelling their own version of a bakery."

Knowing which colors do or don' t tempt mosquitoes may lead to better repellents(驱虫剂)，traps and other methods to prevent mosquitoes.

32. What does Jeffrey Riffell’s study find?

A. Mosquitoes tend to have a preference for bright colors.

B. Mosquito biting has something to do with your clothes.

C. The more you sweat, the less likely you will be bitten by mosquitoes.

D. Your skin color reduces your chances of being bitten by mosquitoes.

33. Which sense do mosquitoes make use of first in finding a potential target?

A. Hearing.              B. Sight.          C. Smell.         D. Touch.

34. The underlined word “tempt" in the last paragraph most probably means“_______”

A. appeal to          B. frighten away           C. calm down            D. wipe out

35. In which section of a newspaper can the text most probably appear?

A. Education.          B. Entertainment.        C. Fashion.          D. Science.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Every day we make choices that affect the environment and people living on the earth. From the clothes on our back and the food we eat to how we travel to work, every decision we make has an effect on the planet.  36   . However, there's still much more to be done to live sustainably( 可持续地).

Sustainability doesn’t have to require huge，life-changing decisions.   37  . The primary purpose of living sustainably is to cause the least harm to the environment and people living on the earth.

Living sustainably simply requires a little more thought about our diets, what kind of toiletries and cosmetics (化妆品) we use, and how much waste we create in general.  38  ， it becomes a little easier to make some positive changes.

One of the first things people tend to focus on when they first decide to live more sustainably is single-use plastic. Plastic bottles, bags， coffee cups and fresh produce wrappers are all non-recyclable.   39   , buying plastic shopping bags for your groceries indirectly causes a lot of damage to the environment. The same goes for beverages, water bottles, soda bottles and even coffee cups， which are primarily made of plastic that we can’ t recycle.

Living sustainably brings many benefits. The most obvious one is that you' re less responsible for causing daily damage to the environment. Sustainable living also provides a handy opportunity to live healthier. In short, sustainable living is healthier and cheaper.   40  

A. Once we’re aware of these things

B. Sustainable living is certainly possible

C. Although it may seem like a harmless act

D. And it's the most responsible choice for the planet

E. Since we know that having a positive effect on the planet is important

F. The present generations are the most environmentally conscious in history

G. It means reducing our demand for natural resources by making a few small daily changes
