The European Patent Office（EPO）on 4th July 2023 announced that Maasai inventor, Richard Turere, won first place in the Young Inventor Prize at the European Inventor Award 2023.

Turere invented the Lion Lights system at age 11. As a young Maasai boy, Turere was entrusted with the vital, responsibility of protecting his family’s cattle from predators（捕食者）. He recognised the need for a solution to prevent lions and other predators from attacking livestock（牲畜）, which led him to develop the innovative light system that has since gained global recognition.

Lion population in Africa is estimated to have declined by 43% in the past 20 years. Many lions are killed to stop them from eating precious livestock, significantly impacting the lion population, the area’s biodiversity and tourism. Known as Lion Lights, Turere’s invention is based on a simple concept: visually reproducing the human presence that keeps lions away. With changing sequences（序列）of flashing lights which are fixed on fences, the lions cannot become comfortable with the patterns and are discouraged from hunting livestock.

As word of Turere’s technology and its success spread, other community members began requesting the system for their properties, and now over 2, 000 homes in Kenya use Lion Lights. The system typically runs on solar energy but can also be coupled with wind power when the weather is cloudy or there is little sun.

In 2013, Turere founded the Lion Lights organisation, which now cooperates with more than 50 young people in his native village. Turere’s commitment and resourcefulness have attracted international attention. His invention has been adopted in several other countries. "I want this story to inspire the young kids so that they too can do something.

Anyone can make it. Anyone can change this world," says Turere.

24. What motivates Turere to invent Lion Lights?

A. To win an award.   B. To protect livestock.

C. To maintain lion population.  D. To shoulder family responsibility.

25. How does the Lion Lights system work?

A. It controls electric fences to trap lions.

B. It operates on a single energy source.

C. It patterns the human existence using lights.

D. It uses strong flashing lights to scare lions away.

26. Which of the following best describes Turere?

A. Creative and devoted.   B. Intelligent and modest.

C. Brave and disciplined.   D. Ambitious and outgoing.

27. In which column can the text be found in a newspaper?

A. Profiles.   B. Entertainment.  C. Health. D. Adventure.

C

Cultivated（培育）meat, also known as lab-grown meat, has been cleared for sale in the US.

Upside Foods and Good Meat, two companies that make "cultivated chicken", said that they have gotten approval from the US Department of Agriculture（USDA）to start producing their cell-based proteins. Good Meat said that production is starting immediately. Cultivated meat is grown in a giant vat（缸）, much like what you’d find at a beer factory.

Last week, both companies revealed that the USDA approved labels for their products. In March, Good Meat received a"no questions"letter from the FDA, confirming the product’s safety for sale in the US. Upside Foods also received one in November. Both the USDA and the FDA are overseeing the growing cultivated meat market. CEO of Good Meat, Josh Tetrick, described the approval as a major milestone for the company, the industry, and the food system. Upside founder Uma Valeti called the approval "a giant step forward towards a more sustainable future".

Good Meat, which has been selling its products in Singapore, advertises its product as "meat without slaughter（屠宰）", a more humane approach to eating meat. Supporters hope that cultivated meat will help fight climate change by reducing the need for traditional animal agriculture, which emits greenhouse gases. The company previously announced a partnership with chef José Andrés to introduce the product to a Washington DC restaurant, although the launch time remains uncertain. As production increases, Good Meat may explore cooperation with other restaurants or supermarkets.

Upside is planning to introduce its product at Bar Crenn, a San Francisco restaurant, but did not share a launch date yet. Selling at Bar Crenn should help Upside learn more about how chefs and diners feel about the product. Eventually, the company plans to work with other restaurants and make its products available in supermarkets. For now, it is holding a contest to allow curious customers to be among the first to try the product.

28. What is the potential benefit of cultivated meat?

A. Higher safety for eating.

B. Lower costs for restaurants.

C. Positive impacts on climate change.

D. Improvements in traditional animal agriculture.

29. What do Upside Foods and Good Meat have in common?

A. Both have partnerships with international chefs.

B. Both are involved in producing lab-grown meat.

C. Both declared a launch date of their cultivated meat.

D. Both received FDA approval for worldwide distribution.

30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Diners have access to free products from Upside.

B. Curious customers will become the main force of buying.

C. Upside will evaluate the responses of chefs and diners to its product.

D. Upside will conduct a survey among diners about their paying ability.

31. What is the text mainly about?

A. The benefits of cultivated meat.

B. The research on cultivated meat.

C. The approval and prospect of cultivated meat.

D. The history and processing of cultivated meat.

D

Research on the effects of age on language learning often leads to claims that it’s impossible to learn a language after the age of 18, yet these claims lack scientific evidence. While certain language processing functions peak during childhood, others develop later, with some even experiencing a new growth between the ages of 50 and 75.

The definition of language learning and its goals also play a significant role. If the aim is to participate comfortably in daily social interactions, research suggests that fluency in a new language can be achieved at any age with sufficient study and exposure.

Learning a language at different stages of life comes with advantages and disadvantages. Starting before the age of 10 allows for the potential of acquiring a native-like accent. However, introducing a second language to children late in verbal（言语的）development may pose challenges.

Between the ages of 10 and 18, there is a unique opportunity to intuitively（直觉地）understand grammar and develop a comprehensive and unconscious understanding of a new language’s rules. Language acquisition during this period can also boost confidence and encourage a reflective attitude towards language changes.

Studying an additional language in adulthood involves more translation and a tendency to think in one’s native language first. Language anxiety and hesitation may also arise. However, adulthood offers advantages such as peak communication skills, literary knowledge, and socio-cultural understanding.

Learning a new language at the age of 50 and above may be advantageous in terms of certain mental skills that continue to improve until the mid-to-late 70s. This age group can quickly grasp the basics of a language, although more research is needed to confirm this theory.

In summary, learning a language is a lifelong process. While certain aspects may become more challenging with age, there is no age limit that makes language learning futile. Achieving an intermediate level in a target language can be rewarding, even if some mistakes are made. Starting early can enhance phonology and grammar skills, but continued exposure and usage throughout life are vital for becoming a comfortable speaker. Ultimately, it’s never too late to start or relearn a language.

32. In which situation can one achieve fluency in a new language at any age?

A. In grammar class.   B. In writing practice.

C. In vocabulary research.   D. In everyday communication.

33. Which of the following can we learn about language leaning?

A. Early learning delays children’s language development.

B. Learning during teenage years helps build up confidence.

C. Learners beyond fifty can gain literary knowledge quickly.

D. Learning in adulthood helps to acquire peak translation skills.

34. What does the underlined word "futile" in Para 7 mean?

A. Fruitless.  B. Complex.  C. Time-consuming.  D. Painful.

35. What’s the best title for the text?

A. Why Language Learning Has Age Limits

B. Why Age Plays a Vital Role in Language Learning

C. How Language Learning Occurs at Different Life Stages

D. How Learning a Language Changes Depending on Your Age

How to take a family road trip

Road trips are a great option for vacation because they allow you to see multiple places in one trip and can be customized to what your family wants to do and see.  36   Here are some steps to take before you hit the road.

First, you and your family will want to figure out when you can take a road trip and for how long. You can have everyone sit down with a calendar and decide when you can take time off together. You may find you have a week at the end of the summer or a long weekend in the fall when you’ re free to travel.  37 

  38   Discuss potential destinations and any special factors to consider, like the weather. You could choose a place you’ve always wanted to visit. Just be sure to choose a location that gives you time to get there and back and enjoy your visit.

Then you can map out your road trip. Plug in your current city and final destination into a website or app like Google Maps and start considering good places to stop to sleep at night and what sights you might want to visit along the way.  39   If you put in your route, it will populate a list of interesting things to see on your drive.

Last, have your car stocked with necessities like water, snacks, and first aid supplies in case of an emergency. 40   For example, you can take activity books or travel versions of board games. You can also download an audiobook or music to listen to together.

A. Next you’ll need to decide where to go.

B. Too many clothes or valuables make no sense.

C. A successful road trip also takes some planning.

D. You can really gain a lot from an amazing road trip.

E. Another option is to use a website like roadtrippers. com.

F. You’ll also want to think about what to have with you to stay entertained.

G. Once you’ve determined what can work, have everyone add the trip dates to their schedule.

Before I was ten, my parents worked very hard at ensuring that everything seemed pleasant for me. I had to admit that I had a very peaceful childhood and I mostly ignored the fact that my elder sister was different. She was diagnosed（诊断）with "Asperger Syndrome". This diagnosis turned my parents’ world upside down, but they never let it affect me.

It was only at the age of ten that I started to notice the differences and become conscious of my social life and self-image that I had carefully developed. My sister, on the other hand, was socially awkward. She could not look at people in the eye. She would say to herself and repeat what she had just said. She, however, was good at studying, and thus we attended the same primary school. Despite this, I never accepted in public that she was my sister. There was one incident, however, just two years ago, that remained in my memory. It was the incident that changed how I viewed my sister. It was the incident that changed me.

When she was about to graduate in primary six, the school made it a must for everyone to put up an performance, in a group or individually. Due to her inability to integrate（融入群体）, my sister was the only one left without a group, so my sister had to perform individually. "I’ll sing, "my sister told my parents, somewhat confidently. Hearing that, I was completely shocked. How could my sister, who was socially awkward, sing in front of the school? I knew so very well that if I allowed this to happen, she would embarrass me, one way or another. "No!" I remembered protesting. My parents shot me a look. I knew my sister was to perform, and I was to be part of the audience watching her. Silently, I prayed that something would happen and I would not have to watch my sister shame herself. The day finally came.

Last week, I participated in our school sports meet, competing in the 400-meter race—a thrilling and unforgettable experience.

On hearing the sharp whistle, I dashed out, the wind rushing against my face and the crowd’s cheers echoing around me. My attempts to match the pace of fellow runners proved challenging, but I did not give up. I pushed myself to the limit and crossed the finish line with all my strength.
