A new project in the Caribbean is setting out to save coral reefs （珊瑚礁）-and the world. The Ocean-Shot Project, spearheaded by climate scientist Dr. Deborah Brosnan, launched in 2021 to develop a "massive, first-of-its-kind" coral reef restoration initiative in the Caribbean country Antigua and Barbuda.
"We lose more coral reefs in a day that we can restore in a decade, " Brosnan said. "Our progress towards protecting coral reefs—which ultimately protect us—is too slow. So Ocean- Shot Project is about literally rebuilding the reefs, the architecture of the reefs, for the future. "
What sets this project apart from other coral reef restoration projects is its focus-the architecture of the reef itself. While many initiatives prioritize saving the corals, Ocean-Shot Project tacks on the additional focus of developing the base for those corals to grow and thrive.
"Coral secretes （分泌） calcium carbonate, creating a sort-of concrete around itself that becomes the structure for the reef. But that process can take hundreds and thousands of years, " Brosnan said. And with coral bleaching （白化） events only predicted to become more intense in the coming decades as global and ocean temperatures warm, this can be a problem for reefs that need to be able to recover.
"What we're doing is we're saying, 'let's learn from the corals, let's learn from nature, '” Brosnan said. “And let's make this happen quickly. ”
To make that happen, her team is creating reef structures in a lab and then planting them in the ocean, a process that Brosnan likened to "gardening". The team is also planting "resilient corals” among the structures that have already survived several bleaching events. Previously, her team deployed their first set of these structures, called modules, into the ocean around Antigua and Barbuda. And it's already seeing significant success.
"We saw a whole ecosystem start to recognize these reefs as home and just move right on in. So what it told us is that if we provide the living structure, the ecosystem will respond in return, " Brosnan said.
24. What is the purpose of Ocean-Shot Project?
A. To restore coral reefs. B. To build home for corals.
C. To prevent coral bleaching. D. To develop a new coral reef.
25. What can we know from Brosnan's words in paragraph 2?
A. The whole ecosystem is in great danger.
B. Coral reefs are easy to lose and tough to restore.
C. Our progress in protecting nature is too slow.
D. The focus of the Ocean-Shot Project is to save corals.
26. In which aspect is Ocean-Shot Project different from other projects?
A. Its aim. B. Its duration. C. Its focus. D. Its influence.
27. What can we say about the work of Brosnan's team?
A. Controllable. B. Controversial. C. Adventurous. D. Significant.
C
Certain stem cells have a unique ability to move between growth compartments （隔间） in hair follicles （毛囊）, but get stuck as people age and so lose their ability to mature and maintain hair color, a new study shows.
Led by researchers from NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the new work focused on cells in the skin of mice and also found in humans called melanocyte stem cells, or McSCs. Hair color is controlled by whether nonfunctional but continually multiplying pools of McSCs within hair follicles get the signal to become mature cells that make the protein pigment （色 素） responsible for color.
The new study showed that McSCs are remarkably plastic. This means that during normal hair growth, such cells continually move back and forth between maturity and immaturity as they move between compartments of the developing hair follicle. It is inside these compartments that McSCs are exposed to different levels of maturity-influencing protein signals.
Specifically, the research team found that McSCs transform between their most primitive stem cell state and the next stage of their maturation, depending on their location.
The researchers found that as hair ages, comes off, and then repeatedly grows back, increasing numbers of McSCs get stuck in the stem cell compartment. They remain there, do not mature into the transit-amplifying state, and do not travel back to their original location in the germ compartment, where they regenerate into pigment cells.
"Our study adds to our basic understanding of how McSCs work to color hair, ” said study lead investigator Qi Sun, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at NYU Langone Health. "The newfound mechanisms raise the possibility that the same fixed-positioning of McSCs may exist in humans. If so, it presents a potential pathway for changing over or preventing the graying of human hair by helping jammed cells to move again between developing hair follicle compartments. "
28. What is the function of mature McSCs?
A. Receiving maturity signal.
B. Making protein pigments.
C. Stopping hair from being colored.
D. Sending maturity-influencing protein signals.
29. What determines the state of McSCs?
A. Their quantity. B. Their growing time.
C. Their size. D. Their position.
30. What can be concluded from the study?
A. Hair will stop growing as it ages.
B. Gray hair will no longer mature.
C. Stuck McSCs cause hair to turn gray.
D. Gray hair can eventually grow normal.
31. What did Qi Sun express in the last paragraph?
A. The potential application of the finding.
B. The principle behind the result of the study.
C. The basic understanding of McSCs.
D. The possibility of developing hair follicle compartments.

Using first-of-their-kind observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, a University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led team looked more than 13 billion years into the past to discover a unique, minuscule galaxy cluster （星系团） that generated new stars at an extremely high rate for its size. The galaxy is one of the smallest ever discovered at this distance—around 500 million years after the Big Bang—and could help astronomers learn more about galaxies that were present shortly after the universe came into existence.
The James Webb Space Telescope can observe a wide enough field to image an entire galaxy cluster at once. The researchers were able to find and study this new, tiny galaxy because of a phenomenon called gravitational lensing （引力透镜）, where mass, such as that in a galaxy or galaxy cluster, bends and magnifies （放大） light. A galaxy cluster lens caused this small background galaxy to appear 20 times brighter than it would if the cluster were not magnifying its light.
The researchers then measured how far away the galaxy was, in addition to some of its physical and chemical properties. Studying galaxies that were present when the universe was this much younger can help scientists get closer to answering a huge question in astronomy about how the universe became reionized （再电离的）.
"The galaxies that existed when the universe was in its primary stage are very different from what we see in the nearby universe now, " explained Hayley Williams, first author on the paper and a PhD student at the Minnesota Institute for Astrophysics. "This discovery can help us learn more about the characteristics of those first galaxies, how they differ from nearby galaxies, and how the earlier galaxies formed. "
"The James Webb Space Telescope can collect about 10 times as much light as the Hubble Space Telescope and is much more sensitive at redder, longer wavelengths. This allows scientists to access an entirely new window of data, " the researchers said.
32. What does the underlined word "minuscule" in paragraph l mean?
A. Extremely small. B. Remarkably dark.
C. Especially remote. D. Quite complicated.
33. What can a galaxy cluster lens do?
A. Enlarge the size of the galaxy.
B. Beautify the image of the galaxy.
C. Shorten the distance of the galaxy.
D. Make the small galaxy look brighter.
34. What can be said about James Webb Space Telescope?
A. It is more sensitive at shorter wavelengths.
B. It can see extremely far into the universe.
C. Scientists get access to data entirely through it.
DD. It is 10 times as light as the Hubble Space Telescope.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Studying younger galaxies can help scientists solve mysteries
B. James Webb Space Telescope helps astronomers learn more about galaxies
C. James Webb Space Telescope discovers tiny galaxy with big star power
D. James Webb Space Telescope can observe a wide enough field to image galaxies

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A lot of people look forward to retirement after decades of working. But on the other hand, there are others who are still so passionate about their field-it's difficult for them to hang up their hats.
Depending on the career, it could be possible to continue working if one really wants to. That is unless health issues arise and leave the person no choice but to walk away.
Sadly, this is what happened to a man named Harold. Unfortunately, he found himself no longer able to work as a crane （起重机） operator because of his health. He felt lonely because his children didn't visit him much.
Thanks to the kindness of a stranger, Harold was able to relive his days of working on the job site.
It all started when crane operator Shawn Beveridge of Ohio kept noticing a man in a wheelchair sitting outside of a nursing home. Day after day, the man would sit there watching the job site and the cranes move about for hours.
Shawn was confused why the elderly gentleman showed up every day, and finally became curious enough to introduce himself.
"Since day one when I arrived on this job site, I've noticed him sitting there every morning from 7 am, he takes lunch when we do and doesn't leave until I shut the crane down and head out. " Shawn wrote in his blog. "I originally had thought to myself, "He's just a curious old man and wanting to enjoy his days outside VS being cooped up in his room. ' Well after a couple of days, I myself got curious, so I walked over and introduced myself to him. "
Shawn learned that the man's name was Harold and the two ended up conversing for about two and a half hours.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Another thing he found out was that Harold was previously a crane operator, but had to quit due to his health.
So, he decided that he would make a deal with Harold.

M:Today, we're reporting something very strange on the south coast. The water in Depesh Lake has turned into pink. Residents of Lawton have been worried, and many have called the police station to report it. The police arrived at the lake but didn't know what happened to the water. At first, they thought of chemical pollution, but they quickly realized this was no such possibility. Researchers from the Coastal and Marine Science Center have been looking into the issue. So far, they think the color might have to do with a large number of fish that have recently appeared in the lake. Researchers have caught a few of the fish and will be taking them to a lab for testing. Emergency workers are asking people to stay away from the lake, especially not to swim or fish in the water. We will be back tomorrow with more update information. This is the KMLC News. Now, over to Brittany Johnson with the weather report, followed by sports.

Dear Jason,
How is everything going? Glad to know you have a preference for Chinese dishes and would like to prepare one course for yourself. Here is a simple dish for you.
The dish is commonly cooked in China, which is both delicious and easy for beginners. To cook the dish, you just need to get one or two tomatoes and three eggs or so. Cut the tomatoes into pieces and break the eggs into a bowl and stir them quickly with chopsticks. After the oil in the pan is hot, you fry eggs first and then mix tomatoes with eggs and a little salt. With just a few minutes, a stir-fried eggs and tomatoes is ready. To ensure your success, I attach a video for the dish to the E-mail. May you succeed!
Yours,
Li Hua

Another thing he found out was that Harold was previously a crane operator, but had to quit due to his health. As it turned out, Harold had a disease that's been eating away at him for years. Harold explained to Shawn that he was nearing the end of his life and that he was overjoyed to be in the presence of a crane again. He enjoyed seeing what he used to love to do for a living and never thought he'd ever be able to see or be around a crane again. Let alone be so close to seeing one in action. Shawn was saddened to learn that though Harold has two daughters and a son, they haven't visited him for the last seven years when he has been in a nursing home.
So, he decided that he would make a deal with Harold. Shawn told Harold that he would come sit and chat with him every day after his shift was over so Harold could judge him on how his crane work was that day. That way Shawn could learn from Harold. In exchange, Shawn would get the senior a black coffee each morning and lunch twice a week from wherever Harold wanted. In this way, Shawn had the opportunity to make this man's last days enjoyable. In Shawn's company, Harold was no longer lonely, while Shawn learned a lot from this former experienced crane operator. A little act of kindness can go a long way—and there's nothing more rewarding than brightening someone's spirits.
