In tday's digital age when yu can get infrmatin quickly, there is a cncern abut children develping an appreciatin fr reading printed bks. That's why cmmunities in Australia have cme up with a way t cnvey a lve f bks in the yunger generatins.
T slve this prblem, cmmunities are bringing libraries t where the kids are: in the streets. The little libraries cnsist f bxes that are set up utside f huses r public spaces and are filled with bks. Peple can take bks they haven't read and dnate nes they have t the libraries.
Street Library Australia, a nnprfit, was started by Nick Lwe after he saw a Little Free Library n a trip t the USA. After an initial wrkshp in 2015 t build 30 libraries, the idea mushrmed and nw there are 4,500 registered street libraries in Australia. “It just grew and grew,” he said.
The libraries cme in all shapes and sizes. These libraries are cmpletely vluntary and anyne can start ne.
Pamela Zielke, wh runs a library called Pam's Pantry, gives ut tys and craft supplies alng with bks. An early childhd educatr, she started her library with the gal f rescuing bks frm dustbins. But the libraries are ding much mre than just prviding bks-and ther dnated items-t peple. The street libraries are als building cmmunity. “It's a little stpping place utside yur huse," said Lwe. "It's a great way t meet peple in yur neighbrhd wh are als bk lvers, recycle bks, and find new bks. ”
These Little Street Libraries prvided a valuable service during the utbreak f COVID-19 and the ppularity has nt waned. Peple use them t find bks n specific hbbies like cking, children are develping a lve f reading bks, and it is mre cnvenient than ging t a bkstre r a brick-and-mrtar library. But even mre imprtantly, with a shared interest, the libraries are bringing cmmunities clser tgether.
28. What might make peple in Australia wrried nwadays?
A. The ppularity f digital bks.
B. The pr service f cmmunity educatin.
C. The shrtage f the street libraries.
D. Children lsing interest in printed bks.
29. What d we knw abut Nick Lwe?
A. He must be a citizen f the USA.
B. He was inspired by a trip t the United States.
C He has set up a ttal f 30 street libraries in Australia.
D. He made a frtune thrugh Street Library Australia.
30. What des the authr intend t tell us by mentining Pamela Zielke?
A. We shuld d all we can t supprt street libraries.
B. Many mre street libraries will be set up in Australia.
C. Anyne can fllw her example and start a street library.
D. It is f great benefit t run a street library in yur neighbrhd.

Think f a mnarch butterfly（帝王蝶）,and a unique image pps up: black-and-range wings, with sme white spts arund the black edges. Thse white spts may actually help mnarchs cmplete their lng-distance migratin by changing the airflw arund their wings. This is the new idea f a team f researchers that has analyzed hundreds f mnarch wings cllected alng their migratin rutes.
“If yu have larger white spts, yu're simply mre successful at reaching Mexic,” says Andy Davis, a researcher. He and his clleagues believe that the pattern f clr culd interact with sunlight t create sme temperature differences n the wing that can change airflw, easing the butterflies’flight.
Mnarch butterflies definitely need t fly well t cmplete their annual fall migratin f up t 3,000 miles. Mnarchs frm as far nrth as Canada fly suth every fall all the way t sme muntain tp sites in central Mexic. Mst research n butterfly clring fcuses n its use as a warning t predatrs（捕食者）. Since mnarchs eat milkweed that cntains pisns, their bright range clr serves as a signal that they’re unpleasant prey（猎物）.
Andy Davis had studied the black-and-white patterns n migrating birds, and cncluded that black clring culd affect temperature and airflw in ways that might imprve their flight perfrmance. S the researchers decided t lk at the black-and-white pattern in the edge f mnarch wings. What they fund is that the wings f the summer mnarchs that aren't migrating have less white, while thse that are migrating but haven't made it all the way t Mexic have mre. And mnarchs that successfully reached Mexic have even mre white.
“It is a ttally new idea,” says Marcus Krnfrst, a bilgist. “I've wrked n butterfly clr patterns my whle life, but it's never crssed my mind that it might influence hw the butterflies fly. I d think that this aerdynamic（空气动力学） explanatin is exciting. It's definitely different. But I just think there are ptentially sme ther explanatins that culd be explred. ”
32. What is the new idea f mnarch butterflies’white spts?
A. They serve as a warning t predatrs.
B. They imprve butterflies'flying perfrmance.
C. They attract the attentin f butterfies'mates.
D They help butterflies hide in their surrundings.
33.Hw des Davis think white spts help mnarch butterflies?
A. By changing the flw f air.
B. By making butterflieslighter.
C. By guiding migratingbutterflies.
D. By turning sunshine int energy.
34. What's Krnfrst's atitude twards Davis newy finding?
A. Uncncerned.
B. Supprtive.
C. Skeptical.
D. Disappinted.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Mnarch butterflies migrate the lngest distance
B. Mnarch butterflies use airflw t help their flights
C. Mnarch butterflies have mre white spts than thers
D. Mnarch butterflies' white spts may help them fly farther

In tday's digital age when yu can get infrmatin quickly, there is a cncern abut children develping an appreciatin fr reading printed bks. That's why cmmunities in Australia have cme up with a way t cnvey a lve f bks in the yunger generatins.
T slve this prblem, cmmunities are bringing libraries t where the kids are: in the streets. The little libraries cnsist f bxes that are set up utside f huses r public spaces and are filled with bks. Peple can take bks they haven't read and dnate nes they have t the libraries.
Street Library Australia, a nnprfit, was started by Nick Lwe after he saw a Little Free Library n a trip t the USA. After an initial wrkshp in 2015 t build 30 libraries, the idea mushrmed and nw there are 4,500 registered street libraries in Australia. “It just grew and grew,” he said.
The libraries cme in all shapes and sizes. These libraries are cmpletely vluntary and anyne can start ne.
Pamela Zielke, wh runs a library called Pam's Pantry, gives ut tys and craft supplies alng with bks. An early childhd educatr, she started her library with the gal f rescuing bks frm dustbins. But the libraries are ding much mre than just prviding bks-and ther dnated items-t peple. The street libraries are als building cmmunity. “It's a little stpping place utside yur huse," said Lwe. "It's a great way t meet peple in yur neighbrhd wh are als bk lvers, recycle bks, and find new bks. ”
These Little Street Libraries prvided a valuable service during the utbreak f COVID-19 and the ppularity has nt waned. Peple use them t find bks n specific hbbies like cking, children are develping a lve f reading bks, and it is mre cnvenient than ging t a bkstre r a brick-and-mrtar library. But even mre imprtantly, with a shared interest, the libraries are bringing cmmunities clser tgether.
28. What might make peple in Australia wrried nwadays?
A. The ppularity f digital bks.
B. The pr service f cmmunity educatin.
C. The shrtage f the street libraries.
D. Children lsing interest in printed bks.
29. What d we knw abut Nick Lwe?
A. He must be a citizen f the USA.
B. He was inspired by a trip t the United States.
C He has set up a ttal f 30 street libraries in Australia.
D. He made a frtune thrugh Street Library Australia.
30. What des the authr intend t tell us by mentining Pamela Zielke?
A. We shuld d all we can t supprt street libraries.
B. Many mre street libraries will be set up in Australia.
C. Anyne can fllw her example and start a street library.
D. It is f great benefit t run a street library in yur neighbrhd.

Think f a mnarch butterfly（帝王蝶）,and a unique image pps up: black-and-range wings, with sme white spts arund the black edges. Thse white spts may actually help mnarchs cmplete their lng-distance migratin by changing the airflw arund their wings. This is the new idea f a team f researchers that has analyzed hundreds f mnarch wings cllected alng their migratin rutes.
“If yu have larger white spts, yu're simply mre successful at reaching Mexic,” says Andy Davis, a researcher. He and his clleagues believe that the pattern f clr culd interact with sunlight t create sme temperature differences n the wing that can change airflw, easing the butterflies’flight.
Mnarch butterflies definitely need t fly well t cmplete their annual fall migratin f up t 3,000 miles. Mnarchs frm as far nrth as Canada fly suth every fall all the way t sme muntain tp sites in central Mexic. Mst research n butterfly clring fcuses n its use as a warning t predatrs（捕食者）. Since mnarchs eat milkweed that cntains pisns, their bright range clr serves as a signal that they’re unpleasant prey（猎物）.
Andy Davis had studied the black-and-white patterns n migrating birds, and cncluded that black clring culd affect temperature and airflw in ways that might imprve their flight perfrmance. S the researchers decided t lk at the black-and-white pattern in the edge f mnarch wings. What they fund is that the wings f the summer mnarchs that aren't migrating have less white, while thse that are migrating but haven't made it all the way t Mexic have mre. And mnarchs that successfully reached Mexic have even mre white.
“It is a ttally new idea,” says Marcus Krnfrst, a bilgist. “I've wrked n butterfly clr patterns my whle life, but it's never crssed my mind that it might influence hw the butterflies fly. I d think that this aerdynamic（空气动力学） explanatin is exciting. It's definitely different. But I just think there are ptentially sme ther explanatins that culd be explred. ”
32. What is the new idea f mnarch butterflies’white spts?
A. They serve as a warning t predatrs.
B. They imprve butterflies'flying perfrmance.
C. They attract the attentin f butterfies'mates.
D They help butterflies hide in their surrundings.
33.Hw des Davis think white spts help mnarch butterflies?
A. By changing the flw f air.
B. By making butterflieslighter.
C. By guiding migratingbutterflies.
D. By turning sunshine int energy.
34. What's Krnfrst's atitude twards Davis newy finding?
A. Uncncerned.
B. Supprtive.
C. Skeptical.
D. Disappinted.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Mnarch butterflies migrate the lngest distance
B. Mnarch butterflies use airflw t help their flights
C. Mnarch butterflies have mre white spts than thers
D. Mnarch butterflies' white spts may help them fly farther
